Title: The Sins in a Lie
Anime: Ouran High School Host Club
Pairing: HikaKao
Chapter 1
The black-cloaked boy flipped through his book, his blue eyes adjusted to the darkness from which he comes from. The candlelight flickered as though it threatened to disappear, but it didn't. It continued to dance. The door to his bedroom opened. There stood his little sister holding a candle to help light her way, as anything brighter would make the boy sick.
"Big brother?" she whispered. He turned to pay attention to her, Belzenef waving hello.
"Good…" he had no idea what to say. "What time is it?"
"Six P.M." she said.
"Good evening, Kirimi." He said with a smile that she could barely see due to the lighting. Se instinctively reached where the light switch should have been, only to find a plain wall instead. He didn't even have the option to turn on the lights. It made her want to go back to her brightly-lit room, instead, but she wanted to be around her brother no matter what the cost.
"Big brother, what are you reading?" the tiny blonde asked.
"A book about the likelihood of people we know going to Hell, as well as being cursed. Very dark subjects."
"Are you worried about somebody? And isn't 'Hell' a naughty word?"
"You can come in and sit with me, if you like. It's actually brighter over here than it is over there." She nodded and walked inside, shutting the door behind her. She pulled up a chair and sat beside him, bothered only by the fact that she was too short to see the pictures in the book. "And 'Hell' isn't a naughty word. It's just a bad place, therefore not a subject that people prefer to talk about, therefore you get reprimanded for using such 'language' as they call it."
"Oh…"
"And, yes, I suppose I am worried about somebody. You see, I have found myself watching that Host Club like a hawk."
"Oh, Pseudo Bro!" she said with a smile, remembering her time with Tamaki Suou.
"Yes. That guy. He's not the one I'm most concerned about, though. I am actually concerned with those two Hitachiin brothers."
"Twincest boys?"
"Yes, the twins. You see, this book actually isn't all about dark magic and curses. It actually starts out more like scientific research rather than an occult story."
"Why are you worried about them?"
"It has already begun, for them. The seemingly younger of the two, Kaoru Hitachiin, has started to show signs of obscurity. He knows something."
"What does he know?"
"Well, it may be better if I start from the beginning rather than just jump right in like this. You see, twins, despite how many identical ones there are in the world, are actually a rare thing. Typically, you have a twin across dimensions, and that's where your twin is born. Occasionally, though, the twin of the person is born from the same mother, and they grow up together.
Most identical twins, as they age, grow apart slowly and make efforts to be told apart. Those brothers do not, though, and that is their first sin. They try to be the same person, and it damages them hen one of them pulls away, as if they are sewn together, and one of them is picking at the seams." Kirimi made a face to show how much discomfort that explanation gave her. He muttered an apology and continued. "Not only that, but they are brothers. They are twins. I have looked at them far too much, and know too much, myself. I can see their feelings for each other, but they continuously lie to one another and everyone else."
"So their love is real, then!" Kirimi declared.
"Yes, that is correct."
"Are you going to try and fix that?"
"Somewhat. I can't change their love for one another, but their headed down a dangerous path. They are going to be cursed, and I need to study up and try to counteract this by heading it off at the pass. I owe it to the Host Club who reunited us, Kirimi. That and… there's someone I want to protect, therefore…" he thought of the girl's short, brown hair, her big, bright eyes, and her smiling face. "I have to warn her to stay away from them at all costs."
