What Hurts Hikaru the Most Part 2: The Fight

Honey: (whimpering) Takashi! I don't like where the story is going.

Mori: Don't spoil it for the readers, Mitsukuni. Anyway, Roch doesn't own OHSHC. It all belongs to our creator, Bisco Hatori.

Honey: I'm gonna eat cake and read this story! Enjoy!

Mori: Don't forget to review…it would mean a lot to Roch.


I touched my mouth. What just happened was awkward in so many ways. I turn to see Kyoya, but I see that he left. I start to get worried that I left the room without a word. While I walk in the hallway, I start to hear chants from the other students. I go to where the noise is coming from, only to find Kyoya and Hikaru in an all-out brawl, and Hikaru is clearly losing.

"KYOYA STOP IT!" I scream, trying to remove him off of Hikaru, who is now unconscious and bloody on the marble floor. Instead, I get shoved into the wall, but I don't give up without a fight. I pounce on Kyoya, and beat the crap out of him. But, Kyoya doesn't fight back. I stop hitting him and get off of him.

"What the hell was that?" I ask angrily.

"Don't act like you don't know you bastard!" Kyoya slaps my face. I stare at him in shock.

"It wasn't my fault! Hikaru slipped on a banana peel and kissed me!" I protested, rubbing my cheek.

"That's an interesting notion, its own way. Let me know when you guys work it out." Kyoya shoves me as he walks away. I look at Hikaru, who is still unconscious on the ground. Unfortunately, Kaoru is out sick at the moment.

"Guys, Help me out here!" I call the rest of the host club and ask to help me out with Hikaru, while he groans in pain. At least he's still alive and breathing. Mori-senpai and Tamaki-senpai help me to lift Hikaru and take him to Music Room 3.

"Can you guys drive Hikaru and me to my apartment? I'll take care of him from here." I ask, tears slowly filling up my eyes. Everyone agreed, even Tamaki. "I'll ask my driver to drive you." Tamaki whips out his phone and begins to make a call. Not long after, Tamaki's driver arrives and Mori-senpai and Tamaki-senpai help me to take Hikaru to the car, while Honey-senpai enjoys his cake. On our drive home, I keep worrying about Hikaru, staring at him, bruised and bloody from what happened. If only he didn't kissed me or none of this would've happened. Once we're in front of the apartment building, I thank Tamaki-senpai for the lift and help Hikaru up the stairs. Once we're inside, I lay him done gently on the ground and grab the first aid kit from the storage closet. I look at Hikaru, who stirs slightly. That reminds me, I had to call Kaoru. I go to the phone on our wall and call Kaoru.

"Kaoru, its Haruhi. Hikaru is with me at the moment."

"I know, the boss told me everything. I'll pick him up tomorrow." "What, tomorrow? But, Kao-" Then he hangs up. I sigh and look at Hikaru, who is groaning. I rush to his side and see him open his amber like eyes.

"Hey…" I smile at him.

"Haruhi…where am I?" he raises his whole body into a sitting position, but falls after screaming in pain.

"You're at my house. What happened between you and Kyoya?" I ask, my voice shaking.

"I don't know. After I kissed you, I ran off and Kyoya sucker punched me. He kept kicking me and punching, but I fell unconscious after that." Hikaru explains while I press cold water onto his bruises, which also includes his bare upper body. I flinch whenever I touch it.

"Haruhi, are you ok? You look like you don't want to do this." Hikaru smiles; I haven't seen him smile in a long time.

"I'm fine. It's just feels… you know…" "Awkward?" Hikaru finished his sentence. I nod my head slowly.

"I know how you feel, being my ex-girlfriend and all." He blushes a bit.

I heave a sigh. "Well, Kyoya and I broke up. Well, it looked like it anyway." Hikaru stares at me. Suddenly, I hear thunder outside. I flinch and hug Hikaru for support, only to hear him groan.

"I'm sorry…" I let go, but I hear the thunder again and hold on tightly.

"Haruhi, it's ok." Hikaru strokes my hair. Once the thunderstorm rolls out, I uncomfortably continue to heal Hikaru.

"Look, you don't have to do this if you don't want to. I know how much you flinch when you go through stuff like this." I smile at him.

"I know, but the truth is...I missed being with you." I confessed to him, which took him aback a bit.

"I didn't know..." Hikaru looks into my eyes. "To tell you the truth, I didn't like the fact that you were dating Kyoya-senpai."

"I know. Whenever you're all 'I don't care', and whatever, I knew you were hiding the fact that you still cared about me." I look the other way. I bandage Hikaru up and put his shirt back on.

"I do care about you, Haruhi. In fact...I still love you. I regretted breaking up with you and our stupid fight. I said such stupid things, and I don't know if-" I lean forward ad kiss him, and no, there wasn't a banana there to make this accidental.

"I love you too. You mean so much to me right now." I confessed. He pulled me in closer and kissed me again. It was nice to have him back in my arms again.


I wake up in Haruhi's living room, her body wrapped in my arms. I look at her clock and realize we were late for school.

"Haruhi, wake up! We're late!"

"We're what?" she says sleepily, before breaking out of my embrace and running to the washroom. I don't remember what happened last night. All I can remember is that Haruhi and I made up, and she kissed me. I slowly get up, being careful not to hurt myself. After Kyoya attacked me, I had a bit of a dream, and in that dream, Haruhi was back in my arms again, like that fight never happened between us. Soon, I woke up in Haruhi's living room while she tends to my wounds. Looks like my dream came true after all. I search my pockets for my phone, looking at the 50 missed calls flashing on the screen. I check my caller ID and see that some were from Kaoru and most of them from Tono (Mori: In case you didn't know, Tono means 'Lord' in Japanese, in our case, it's Tamaki.)

I check my voicemail and hear Tono screaming into the speaker, fully taking the sleep out of me. I call Kaoru to ask him a favour.

"Hey, Hikaru, how was your date?" Kaoru teased.

"Haruhi and I didn't go out on a date…but we did kiss." I can hear Kaoru gasp on the other end of the phone.

"Are you guys gonna go out again?"

"I doubt it. Remember, Haruhi is still with Kyoya." I replied.

"Not from what I heard. Kyoya made it official on Facebook. (Honey: Yes, they have Facebook accounts in the story, including Takashi and I.) He went from "In a relationship" to "single"." My eyes widened. That means I have a chance.

"Hey Haruhi, gotta go Kaoru." I hang up and head to the bathroom, to see her eyes filled with tears as she looks at Kyoya's status.

"He called it off." She stares at me with teary eyes. "I knew this would happen. After that fight between the two of you…" she sighs. "

I think you should leave." She says firmly. I stare at her, flabbergasted (Mori: Yes, she used the word.) and confused.

"But, Haru-""I don't wanna hear it. Now, can you please go? Last night, I was foolish for kissing you. I love you, Hikaru. But I just don't have time for a boyfriend right now."

Anger rose inside of me again. "So, what happened last night…was all for nothing?" I was really angry I slapped her. I realized my actions and fled her apartment, tears nearly flowing out of my cheeks. I can't believe I slapped Haruhi. Now she'll never be back in my arms.

I get out my phone and call the family driver. 5 minutes later he arrives and I ask him to drive me home. Once I get home, I make the maid call the school that I'm sick and just hang out in my room, only to find Kaoru and his guitar on his lap.

"I thought you would be at school." Kaoru puts his guitar down on the bed and stares at me. "Nah, I told Ayame to call in sick for me." Kaoru nods his head.

"So, what happened last night?" Kaoru asked.

"Well, Haruhi was healing my wounds, and let me tell you, she has the hands of a healer. But I confessed to Haruhi that I still loved her, and then she…"

"She kissed you?" Kaoru's eyes shone with anticipation. I nodded my head to confirm what happened.

"Congrats, bro, so, are you guys going out again?" I lower my head in shame and shake my head.

"No…after Haruhi found out, she said that she wouldn't date anyone right now. I got so angry that I slapped her." Kaoru's eyes widened.

"You what?" "Look, I don't want to talk about it." I stand and leave the room and head to the basement, where, I go into a secret room I discovered by myself one day and see my grand piano. Now, I don't play the way Tono plays, I only play by ear. Besides, Kaoru plays guitar by ear too. But I don't know if he knows that I play. I never told anyone, not even Haruhi. I press my fingers on the keys and play a soft little tune, and without knowing it, I break out into song.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house

That don't bother me

I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out

I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while

Even though going on with you gone still upsets me

There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok

But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was tryin' to do

I stop playing after I see Kaoru staring at me.

"What are you doing here? This is my private room!"

"Well, it's mine too. I come here when I'm bored. That's why there's a guitar here." He points to the guitar standing by my piano. I can't believe I didn't notice that.

"Hey, do you want to play together?" I ask. Kaoru nods his head and picks up his guitar. We play various songs for hours on end.

It's nice doing this with Kaoru. I haven't had any downtime with him since Haruhi and I started going out. After we broke up, I isolated myself from him; which included me dyeing my hair a dark ash like colour. And I left it that way ever since.

"Hey, Kaoru what do I do now? Haruhi must hate me after what I did to her and I might become Kyoya's new punching bag until we graduate." Knowing my brother, he's the one who gives very honest and wise answers.

"Apologize to Haruhi and Kyoya. It always helps." Kaoru simply states. "You know, that always seems to be your answer when I've done something wrong to someone. An example is Haruhi's friend, Arai." I state. "I know, but like I said, it's the answer to those kind of things." Kaoru smiled at me before leaving what is now OUR private room.

The only question now is: will Haruhi accept my apology and take me back?
