Hikaru….. Hikaru…

Kaoru?

Hikaru….

I can hear my brother…..he's calling me. If only I knew where you were I could go to you, Kaoru. I can hear you in my dreams but when I wake, you're gone and I remember the truth of this harsh reality. Kaoru… you disappeared four years ago, We were only in our second year at Ouran by then... I never saw you since then. We had just finished our first year in Ouran academy, that's when you vanished that one night…. No it was this very night. May ninth, the day you vanished four years ago….. It was so long ago…

"Hey Hikaru, time to get up!" mother calls to me from down stairs.

Ugh, Now Mom? I look to the clock groggily. Damn it. I forgot. The host club is meeting at Rioul Café. I quickly get up and dressed. I just threw on a red tank top with jeans and black runners, nothing fancy. I brush my hair rushing not needing to look in the mirror, I barely look in the mirror because I see my brother there and it makes me break down into tears. God I missed him but I can't believe I forgot that Tamaki had told all the members remaining to meet at the cafe! I run around getting ready even though I was pretty much ready to go, then I run out the door ignoring everyone as I rush past them and run to the café. The others where there already waiting for me sitting at a table when I got there. At the table if you turned you could see the beautiful white with real flowers, wrapped around it, archway at the entrance.

"Ah. Im….sorry for…..being late…..ha…ha..." I am panting from my run to get here. Damn why didn't I take the limo? Could've saved me from running here. Oh well, a little exercise never hurt anyone.

"That's alright Hikaru. At least you got here. We can trust you to at least get here unlike some people…. " Harhui spoke while giving an accusing glance at Tamaki who was sitting beside her.

Harhui hasn't changed much, she still had short hair but now her hair was cut evenly so some strands were not shorter than the other. Today she's wearing a magenta t-shirt that had a collar made to look like a simple necklace with an oval gem on the area that is between her boobs the shirts not big on her but its not tight either, she's also wearing white pants that are a little tight fitting and no pockets that I can see. She's gotten just a little taller over the years but she's still about the same height she was back when she first became a host.

"What is that supposed to mean Harhui! You can't say that about your Daddy!" Tamaki pouted in his chair at Harhui's words.

Tamaki. He's maybe a few inches or so taller now. His hair is the same as ever, I have no idea why he won't change the style of his hair and why he's so stubborn about it whenever it's brought up by anyone. He could use a good hair style change really. Today he's wearing a white button up long sleeved shirt with a very loosely done black tie that has a cross and skull on the bottom of it, He has on purple pants that's so baggy he has to keep them on with a white belt buckled up to the last hole I swear if there was one more hole he'd be suffocating from a to tight of a belt. He has a black chocker with grey dots all around it like one of those spiked collars you see, to top it off he's wearing black shoes with a white bottom.

"You're not my dad Tamaki. Lay off I was just joking." Harhui smiled to show she really had been joking.

Tamaki gives Harhui a smaller pout than before making me laugh. The host club has tried not to bring up Kaoru or anything like that, to help me feel better. Its nice of them really I do appreciate it but sometimes it seems like they want me to forget…. Kaoru… I'll never forget you my brother. I swear, No matter what happens this tortured mind of mine won't let me forget you. I miss you. Sometimes even when I am awake I can hear you, my brother… calling to me….. Pleading me…..

Hikaru…. Why can't you find me…. please Hikaru…..

Kaoru…oh Kaoru, im so sorry… I tried. Believe me brother I did. I want you back. I want to be with you once again. Please….. Please tell me where you are!

Is that true…..? Hikaru….? Did you really…..? Yet you still want to know where I am…?

….? Kaoru…?

It wouldn't be the first time that I had a "Conversation" with Kaoru's voice in my head but this felt different like he was actually talking and I felt that if I looked around I would find him so I glance around, the others don't notice because they are too busy laughing at something Tamaki had done or said. I didn't know because I hadn't paid attention to them. That's when I see… It looked like a girl. I wasn't sure. She was leaning against a pole to a white archway by another part of the café, that was decorated with flowers and vines. She was wearing black pants, a black t-shirt and an almost trench coat looking red leather jacket unzipped and open. What got my attention was her hair and eyes….. Her eyes are the exact same color as mine and Kaoru's eyes, her hair was medium length reaching down to inches above her shoulders, bangs that ended just above her eyes and was the same color as mine and Kaoru's hair….our hair isn't something that can be dyed into or anything. It's unique. She notices me watching and turns running away. I chase after her ignoring Harhui who was asking me where I was going. I chase after the girl not letting her out of my sight.

"Hey. Wait up! " I called to her. How fast is she? I can barley keep up.

"No! Im not supposed to talk to you!"

T-that voice! It's…. No! It can't be…! That's not a girl it's….

"Kaoru!?" The realization hit me hard almost making me freeze on the spot but not in a bad way, I was extremely happy now that I know its him I want to jump him hug him and hold him not letting go. Why? Well my brothers alive. ALIVE! After four long lonely years! I finally find him ALIVE! I keep running after him, Im not going to lose him, not again… I don't think I could stand it if I lost him now and didn't see or hear from him for more years than I already have. My sanity is already disappearing I swear it is plus I am losing my mind without him with me. I need him by my side again.

Too late, He leads me into some woods and I lose him. I look around where I had lost him not finding any trace of him anywhere.

Kaoru why….?

I head back to the rest of the host club feeling happy that I got to see him again, kind of down that he had gotten away from me, hopeful that he would be there following me and confused about what happened exactly, So many questions about it keeps floating around in my head with my memories old and recent of Kaoru. My twin….. My younger brother…. the youngest twin… My most trusted companion… Oh Kaoru…

"Hikaru! Why did you run off like that?" Harhui was standing and had been waiting for my return in front of the table when I returned.

"I saw Kaoru…. He doesn't look the same but I know it was him." I know it was him. I know it.

"Hikaru…. If this is true then that's a good thing that he's still alive but…. It could have been your imagination again…. we know you miss him a lot." Harhui spoke slowly and softly to me.

"Harhui, Hikaru did see someone that did resemble Koaru. It's likely that it was Kaoru." Kyouya said indifferently as he wrote in his black book.

Well Kyouya has cut his hair just a little shorter ever since we graduated from Ouran. It would've been better if Kaoru had been there too. Kyouya is wearing a long sleeved black shirt that has absolutely nothing on it, He also has on dark brown pants that are also plain and his glasses are now black rimmed even thought the black rim is not that noticeable. His shoes match Tamakis making me want to raise my eyebrow silently asking why but I don't.

"Kyouya. You saw him too?" I am glad im not the only one who saw him.

"Yes I did. I don't fully understand why he ran off like that but it was him"

"He said he wasn't supposed to talk to me before I lost him in a small patch of woods" I began thinking, what happened… what happened Kaoru?

"Lets look around the place you last saw him. He's still out there somewhere." I didn't really care who had said that I was to busy thinking about Kaoru, Which ever host it was they're lucky I even heard them.

I nod and take them to the woods where I had lost Kaoru. "Here. It was in these woods that I last saw him."

"Gentlemen, we will have to split up if we are going to find-"Tamaki started but Harhui interrupted him.

"Hey guys look!"

Everyone looks to where Harhui is pointing. There, there was Kaoru on top of a hill. As soon as he hears Harhui's comment he looks to us then runs away from us disappearing behind the hill. I run after him hearing the others follow me but once we got on top the hill I see Kaoru disappearing behind the roof of a house.

"So he really is alive. I suggest checking out that house for starters." Kyouya spoke pushing his glasses back up on his face as he usually does.

All of us nod and Tamaki takes us to the house. We knock on the front door and talked to the homeowner, it was an old man. He said that the person that Hikaru described wasn't familiar to him so we went away feeling a slight loss.

"Has Kao-Chan always been that good of a runner Hika-chan?" Honey asked looking innocently at me.

Honey is still the small cute boy he's always been, He hasn't grown at all plus his hair is still the same as before when Kaoru was with us, he's wearing a t-shirt that is a faded light pink its so long on him the bottom of it is at the top of his thighs, a blue silk scarf like belt is tied around his waist on top of the shirt and he has white pants that have a design reminding me of the pants from the Ouran high school uniforms we used to wear. his shoes are simple light blue sandals that almost look like some kind of roman sandal.

Mori has only grown a centimetre which surprised me; he's so tall it's amazing he's not from a family of giants or something. He's wearing a green shirt that's button up and has quarter sleeves I think that's what they're called, My minds been slightly messed up ever since Kaoru disappeared. He also has on stone washed jeans and blue runners. His face is the same as ever. I guess you could say we really haven't changed at all or well not really.

I shake my head. "He was good but not that good. No matter what I have no doubt in my mind that was Kaoru."

Kaoru….
