I will never stay up till 12 each night for a week ever again...Ok maybe just one more time.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran only the O.C's involed.

Hikaru sighed lightly, tapping a finger on the cool glass of the window while I fiddled with the note that I had in my hands. Waiting outside was a girl, Y.M. Her real name was not in the letter, and it made me kind of sad.

I found it this morning, neatly placed in the middle of my desk. I was kind of surprised when I found that she had even gotten the desk right. Most girls can't even get the right desk, none the less the right twin.

I looked down to the note; my finger grazed the swirls of the black lines. It was a piece of light purple paper and in the bottom right corner was a black rose. Swirls covered the front where my name was. The writing was neat, no mistakes what so ever and the folds that had been made were creased perfectly.

I must have been out of it for a while. I felt a tapping on my shoulder, which caused me to jump. My eyes automatically went to Hikaru, who mouthed me a sorry. He went back to looking out the window, watching the girl who was waiting for us.

She was probably freezing; it was the middle of December after all. White had covered Ouran over-night and it almost looked like heaven on earth. The sakura tree was dusted lightly with snow, making it shimmer in the sunlight.

"Should we go now?" Hikaru asked, finishing up on the face that he had drawn on the glass. I took a look at his masterpiece, neither one of us was good enough to be an artist.

Nodding, I jumped from the window sill. Hikaru followed with grunt. "I guess so, wouldn't want to keep her waiting."

We weaved through the rows of desk. Ours were located at the middle of the room, next to each other of course. In a swift motion, we grabbed the brown bags off of their respectable hooks and walked out the door.

The hallways were quiet, the only sound coming from our shoes hitting the floor. You could see the snow's shadows on the ground, it was like a mass of black, swirling and falling.

"Are we going to do our usual act?" I asked Hikaru. He nodded and slung his arm around me.

"Don't we always?" He smiled. I smiled back and flung my arm around him.

Kicking the snow, I watched as it sparkled in the sunlight. Hikaru walked beside me, smiling. We were going to do our little plan, the one we use to trick the girls into telling us the truth. Do they want to really date the one they gave the note too, or do they just not care who they get.

"I'm going to go hide, call me when you're ready."

I nodded and watched my brother walk behind the hedges near the tree, under it was the girl. I could tell that she wasn't wearing the normal middle school uniform for girls. Instead she was wearing all black. Gulping, I walked over, note in hand.

I don't know why I was nervous; me and Hikaru had done this plenty of times before. The snow beneath me made a crunching noise with every step I made. Fresh footprints lead their way to me.

"Hello," I said politely, still walking to the girl. Her head perked and she turned to face me. I couldn't see her face all that well, she had her hood up. I could see the long black hair that she had, but I couldn't tell if the white in her hair was snow or her actual hair.

"Hello," she whispered lightly, a light smile on her face. She tilted her head up, making the hood fall a bit. Now I could see her face a bit more. Raven black bangs framed her face, a little white streak in each. Her eyes were a light purple, almost a gray, but they went well with her pale skin.

I was lost in her looks, she looked so fragile. I almost had this feeling like I had to protect her from the world. Shaking my head, I gripped the note tighter. 'Why would I think of such a thing? I don't even know her that well!'

"Kaoru?"

I snapped out of my moment and looked at her. She had a confused look on her face, but smiled when she realized I was fine. "Yes…Um, what's your name?" I asked sheepishly, remembering that her name wasn't on the letter, only her initials.

She gave a sad look, her head turned to the side, before whispering a response.

"I can't tell you."

Ugh, I feel so dead right now. This took me all of a week to make, like it? Love it? I've got to know!
