"Haruhi? Why are you late?" Kyouya inquired quietly. "And what are you hiding?"
Haruhi blushed and looked away.
"Well, I needed a job to make enough money to buy the food because my dad's job doesn't pay enough. So I took on babysitting," Haruhi laughed nervously. "I had to bring her with me, is that okay?"
"Mmm, she might attract customers," Kyouya replied as he saw the small girl of about Kirimi's age.
"Hi," She greeted, her amber eyes sparkling brightly. "My name Lex."
Haruhi smiled and blushed at her. "Yeah, this is Lex-chan."
"You want to take the day off?" Kyouya read Haruhi's expressions. "The others are somewhere else right now, they don't have to know."
Haruhi sighed.
"No, she has to meet the Host Club sooner or later."
Kyouya nodded and Haruhi picked Lex up and followed him to the outside where the Club was learning a foreign game, red light, green light, for the mutli-culture festival. Hikaru groaned in frustration as he got out. But Kaoru didn't.
Lex noticed as Kaoru quickly twitched, to get out with Hikaru as well.
"Why'd he do that?" Lex wondered aloud.
"Why'd who do what?" Haruhi and Kyouya wondered, curiously.
Lex frowned. Obviously no one else had seen Kaoru gaze at Hikaru as Hikaru slipped.
"That one," Lex pointed to Kaoru. "Why'd he get out on purpose?"
Haruhi glanced at Kaoru and sighed.
"He didn't do it on purpose," Haruhi scowled. "He did it on accident. It's a twin thing I guess."
"But he did do it on purpose," Lex argued. "I saw him. You didn't?"
Kaoru glanced over and tripped a bit as Tamaki said, "Red light."
Hikaru had tripped as well, since he was so incredibely close to his twin that they could swear they heard the others heart beat. Hikaru fell on top of Kaoru and they both scowled. Kaoru couldn't keep his eyes off the little girl. His heart felt like it was in his throat. It was that way she looked at him. Or how she didn't look at him. She'd been staring at him since Hikaru and him went back to the start.
Later Kaoru walked over to her.
"What's your name?" He asked kindly.
"Lex," She replied, still looking straight into his eyes.
"I'm Kaoru, nice to meet you Lex-chan," Kaoru responded, smiling.
"Why'd you do that earlier?"
The words cut into Kaoru's heart. That's why she was looking at him and not Hikaru.
"What ever do you mean?" He asked, faking kindness. She's only child, you can't hurt her. Wait, why do I want to hurt her?
"You purposely messed up to get out with that other guy," Lex accused.
Kaoru held his smile in place. For some reason he wanted to slap that girl.
"You're twins, aren't you supposed to do that naturally?"
Kaoru's hand twitched along with his muscles. He wanted to slap her so badly.
"Kaoru!" Haruhi called. She dashed over and Kaoru stood up, still fake smiling. "This is Lex-chan, I babysit her."
Kaoru glared at her quickly and turned his attention to Haruhi and smiled to her.
"She's so cute, I can't wait to get to know her!" Kaoru lied.
"You devils can't corrupt her too!" Tamaki scowled. He came over and ruffled Lex's black hair. "The poor child. Did Kaoru scare you?"
"He's weird," She replied.
"You got us confused," Kaoru finally objected.
"Nuh-uh, I couldn't," Lex argued to Kaoru. "You look different, you act different too."
Kaoru's muscles tensed again and he glared at the little girl.
"That was Hikaru," Karou continued to object.
"Lying is bad," Lex replied. "My mommy said liars go to hell. So I don't lie."
Kaoru turned away and folded his arms. She's a child. She's a child. You can't hurt her. You'd get into too much trouble.
"Kaoru!" Hikaru shouted and ran over and slapped Kaoru playfully on the arm. "I see you met Lex-chan! Haruhi was telling us about her over there. Isn't she adorable?"
"Yes," Kaoru lied.
Kaoru's POV
I just want to make it clear, I hate children. The way they act, how they can look right through you. But most of all I hate the girl Haruhi babysits. She's a brat, she thinks she knows the difference between Hikaru and I on the first day she met us. I want to slap her and wipe that grin off of her face. Hikaru and I have been the most devilish beings I've ever known or heard of in my whole entire life.
But this girl?
She's the devil. I swear.
I'm never getting married, I'm never having children. They're insane. Women are insane. This little girl proves it. She's a female and a child, both are the incarnations of pure evil. I want to tell her how I feel. I want to hurt her until she can't feel anything anymore.
How dare she say Hikaru and I are different?
