I walked back to class from the library. I had to find a primary source and it hadn't taken me as long as I thought it would so I was going back to see what was happening in home room. I walked into the twins usual antics.

"Back already Haruhi?" Kouru asked as I walked into the room while both of the twins slinked over to me.

"Yeah, I found the right book so I thought I should come back here. Did I miss anything?" I asked.

"No, they're just talking about some assignment that's coming up." Hikaru told me. "Hey, do you wanna do something after school with us?"

"No, I have homework, and so do you." I replied as I sat down at my desk.

"But homework is so boring." Kouru said

"And besides it won't take that long to finish." Hikaru chimed in.

"Everyone this is a lock down, go to the safe zones and remain silent. This is not a drill." A voice said from over the load speakers.

I shot a quick glance at the twins and everyone else and quickly started for the safe corner. With everyone huddled there we exchanged looks of worry. the seconds ticked by and I began to feel less worried, they probably already got the guy that had slipped in, I mean at a rich school like this they must have some pretty high security teams or something. We sat in silence for a while longer people had started whispering to each other, it seemed like everyone saw this as a break from class rather than an actual emergency.

Bang Bang

Someone had started banging on the door. I looked over at Kouru and saw him and Hikaru sharing worried looks. With one more bang the door had been knocked down. Everyone huddled a little closer together out of fear. Sensai had gotten up and tried to block all of us from view, I saw Hikaru shift so that he was in front of Kouru. Some girls had started crying and I just didn't know what to think.

The guy that had knocked the door down took out a gun and fired a few shots. I saw Sensai go down first, her blood splattering over some of the students right behind her, now nearly everyone had tears streaming down their face. I looked around I saw Kouru just looked shocked and it took me a second to realize why. Hikaru had fallen back on him and his uniform was soaked in blood. He had been hit by a bullet. I could feel hot tears starting to flow down my cheeks, I wanted to reach out to Kouru, let him know that he wasn't alone, but I could't reach him and I didn't know if I could make myself move. I looked up at the gun man, he had started to reload his gun. Somehow I had managed to get past my initial shock, with tears streaming down my face, I got up and towards him. I wasn't really thinking, but I knew I had to do something or we would all die here, just easy pickings for him. I ran up to him and tried to kick him in the balls but he had first pushed me down. I fought hard against him, but he was bigger and stronger than me and he no problem subduing me. I felt him start to beat me up, I didn't mind though, because then the others could get away.

Before I really knew what was happening I see that some of the other boys in the classroom had followed suit. Someone had gotten me away from the gun man, while 3 other guys were trying to pin him down, but they were struggling. I felt dazed. I looked around I saw Kouru in tears holding Hikaru to him, some of the girls looked on tears streaming down there faces. I looked over at the gun man he now had 6 guys on top of him, I wasn't sure where the gun was but it seemed like no one else would die today.

Soon I saw huge guys in police uniform with huge vests on, they started to pull some of the guys off the gunman and took over the situation. Soon they had were dragging him away in handcuffs.

I got up and felt pain shooting up my leg, I ignored it though. I knew Kouru was in more pain than I could ever imagine.

I walked over and put my hand on his back as I kneeled down next to him. I looked down at Hikaru, his eyes still wide open. Slowly I reached over and shut them. There was nothing I could say that would make this any better. So I just sat there, my arms around Kouru with Hikaru between us. Soon Kouru was in my lap sobbing like a small child and I found myself sobbing along with him. Medics came in quickly and started to cart away the dead, but when they went to put Hikaru in a body bag Kouru yelled and grabbed on to him. He was beside himself and seeing him like that made me cry a little harder.

"Kouru, Kouru. Please, you'll get to see him later they just need to take him away for now."I tried to console him.

"No, No I can't, I. He, he can't be gone. What am I going to do. I can't leave him alone, he can't leave me. What am I going to do." Kouru sobbed over his brother's body.

I tried to pry Kouru away from his brother but he held on tightly, and soon one of the police officers came over and pried him away. He sobbed even harder. I held him I didn't know what else to do. We sat there crying for a while I don't know how long but later a nurse had come over to me and said she needed to look us over. I didn't know if I would be able to get Kouru up for that but slowly I propped him up, his crying had not calmed at all.

"I don't think he got hurt, he lost his brother. They were close. I don't think you can do anything to help." I told the nurse.

"It seems like you need help though sir." She told me.

I looked down at myself I could see that I was bleeding from a few places and now that I was thinking about it, I was in a decent amount of pain.

"I need to be here for Kouru now, I'll get check out later." I assured her. I could feel tears still streaming down my face but I tried to slow them if only by a little.

"But sir." She protested.

"I'm not leaving him." I said stubbornly, holding tightly onto Kouru.

"Fine, but I will be back to check on you in a few minutes." She said sternly.

I looked around the room, there was blood everywhere. Some people were being bandaged some people were just crying, some people looked completely dazed. As I looked around I saw Chairman Suoh walk in. He looked completely frazzled.

"Everyone, I know this tragedy will haunt us, but I assure you we will get through this. Right now parents and guardians are coming to pick you up. We will have grief counselors and therapists here to help you with anything and everything. We will get through this together." The chairman announced. He looked around the room and then he started to walk over to me and Kouru.

"Mr Hitachiin I am so sorry about your brother." Chairman Suoh said as he sat down next to us. "Miss Fujioka, I want you to come down to my office and help him along I need to talk to you." He said as he slowly got up and walked away.

Slowly I got up dragging Kouru with me. I felt my leg start to buckle and my arm felt as if it were on fire. My head felt like it was going to burst, but then I thought about what Kouru must be going through and I realized that he was far worse off than I am.
