no belongs to me
the song belongs to amy lee
I sense there's something in the wind,
That feels like tragedy's at hand.
And though I'd like to stand by him,
Can't shake this feeling that I have,
The worst is just around the bend…
Kaoru looked at his brother as he slept.
'Man, how does anybody sleep as much as he does?' Kaoru thought to himself, chuckling. As his thoughts drifted about the future between the twins, he began to remorse and dreadfully regret wanting to let his brother go. It's because he knew what the future held for both paths: whether they stayed together or depart and become two different people. The problem is they've been together forever. They literally cannot let go without time.
He knew that if the time comes, Hikaru would leave him, and that he'd be all alone in the world. But, at the same time, he knew that that's what he was planning, and he'd be more than willing to do that just for him.
Hikaru shifted in his sleep. He started to open his eyes and visually see his own face in front of him. He was about to get on to his twin for breaking and entering his room again, but didn't have the heart to yell at him. He rolled his eyes and turned over to sit up backwards.
"Ughh, Kaoru. What are you doing?" he asked, tired and slightly edgy.
"nothing." He replied quickly. There was a moment of silence.
"O…k? Why are in here?" Hikaru tried again.
"In where?" Kaoru asked, acting completely oblivious to his question.
"In my room." Hikaru's voice got heavy. There was another silence as Kaoru continued to sit next to Hikaru with his hands wrapped around his knees.
"In whose room?" Kaoru asked after a while.
"Ughh! Kaoru!" Hikaru didn't mean to yell. In fact, he didn't even notice that he did. Kaoru flinched, but that passed Hikaru as well. It wasn't until after another long silence between them when Hikaru decided to go down and get some breakfast, leaving Kaoru on his bed. As he shut the door behind him, Kaoru looked down slowly and began to cry. As for why, he couldn't say.
Hikaru was just finishing up with his breakfast as Kaoru finally decided to come downstairs. Hikaru saw him and noticed he had been crying. He was about to question his overflowing concerns at him when their maid rushed him out the door to make it on time for a date/meeting with Haruhi and the king. Hunny and Mori could come because they had martial arts practice that day. Kyoya couldn't wouldn't come because he thought it was stupid, and he had homework and stuff to do, via finances, expenses, and host club business. Kaoru couldn't come because, surprisingly, Hikaru didn't want him there. After Kaoru planted a kiss on Haruhi's cheek last year, he didn't wasn't to lose her to his brother. That would be a nightmare for Hikaru. But Hikaru's decision made Kaoru's nightmare a living reality, or the beginning of it anyway.
As Kaoru watched Hikaru leave, with his shouts that he's hurrying, there's no need to push, Kaoru looked back down and went downstairs to eat. He decided to hang out at the commoner's mall today, maybe he'll meet a commoner like Haruhi, and then he'll have a girl friend of his own, or maybe just a friend. Who knows, maybe he'll have someone to be around so he didn't have to depend on Hikaru as much.
So later on, he dressed in black, blue, and purple, and went to the commoner's mall. He bought a few things, ate some food, and was bored out of his mind. So he decided to sit for a while. He thought he sat for several hours until nightfall. Hikaru should have been home maybe two hours ago, but he didn't want to go home yet, just to prove he was as big as Hikaru was when it came to being without the other.
It was closing time now, so Kaoru went outside to get in his limo. It was parked on the other side of the lot so people didn't try to steal it, rob it, or vandalize it. He was halfway through the parking lot, when he heard a voice from behind him. His first though was the he was about to get jumped, so he pretended not to hear and walked quicker. When he heard that the voice was following him and was right up on him he turned around normally, trying to maintain his coolness.
"What?" he tried to say politely.
"Where you going?" said the stranger. Kaoru thought that the man looked like he was messed up.
"Why?" Kaoru tried to say, but the man started laughing as another came up behind him.
The other man leaned in really close and smiled, not evilly, but as though he was nice and like he was a friend. Of course Kaoru knew he wasn't.
"Hmm… we, uh… we need some cash. Like… an extra bit of… um… money?" Kaoru's heart stopped. He was so scared, he could hardly stand still. "We… uh… we could sell you something?" the newer man offered. Kaoru didn't know what to make of this. "We could… uh… sell you some stuff…" the man that was there first burst out laughing. All in all, these two didn't look like threats.
"What? What exactly are you guys selling?" Kaoru asked.
The first man started laughing again. Then he spoke in a whisper tone. "Dude, we can get you some good stuff, you know?" Kaoru didn't know, and so he tried to decline them, but they pressed forward. He really wished Hikaru was there to protect him. No, he couldn't have that, now can he? Kaoru was going to try to protect himself.
