Chapter 2: A Night to Remember

The twins knew about the party, the moment they saw the decorations.

They weren't surprised at all.

It wasn't new to them so they both have bored looks.

They were passing by the kitchen when they heard Yuuna, the organizer of the event, talk to their mother.

"I've invited my friend. She's a lawyer and I think you'll like her." Yuuna said describing her friend.

Their mother laughed a little before replying, "Of course. Any friend of yours will surely be nice."

This piqued the interest of the twins.

They walked away not wanting people to see them eavesdropping.


When safely in their room, they started talking about the mystery girl.

"Do you think she's nice?" Kaoru asked.

"We'll find out tomorrow night." Hikaru replied not paying much attention to his brother.

Many things are in his mind that he failed to see his brother's knowing look.


Haruhi was almost panicking.

Almost.

She still hasn't found a dress to wear.

'It seems that I need to buy one.' She thought shaking her head, not really wanting to buy a dress but it's the only other thing to do before she loses her sanity.

Work had this effect on her so she decided that a little shopping will do her good.

'Better go shopping for that dress than lose my sanity.' Haruhi mused.

She got her keys then left the house with her black Jaguar.


The twins alighted from their limo and went inside their shop without another glance at their surroundings.

Their shop was known for its designs and quality.

Strawberry Kisses was the name of their shop.

They weren't expecting to name their shop like that but it was the most suitable name with the kind of designs they make.

They went straight to the back of their shop to fix their creations when a black jaguar parked in front of their shop.


Haruhi parked her car in front of Strawberry Kisses.

It was her favorite place to buy clothes.

In fact, almost all of her clothes are from this shop.

The moment she entered, the shop assistants were quickly at her side.

"Good morning Miss Fujioka." Aki greeted her with formality but her smile was a sign that she's familiar with their customer.

"Good morning Aki." Haruhi smiled her reply and continued, "You really don't have to call me that. I told you many times before that you just have to call me Haruhi."

"Of course. How may I be of assistance to you?" Aki replied sweetly.

She already knew why Haruhi was here but she still wants to hear what exact clothing material she needs.

"I need a dress. Simple yet elegant in a way." Haruhi stated.

"May I ask for what occasion you would be needing it?" She inquired.

"I'm going to wear it tomorrow night at a charity ball." She replied, knowing that Aki would give her the perfect dress.

After fitting a few dresses, both Haruhi and Aki gasped at her reflection.

She was wearing a simple white dress just coming above her knees with a black ribbon around her waist.

It was simple but it looked elegant at the same time.

It was just as Haruhi described.

It was the dress she wanted.

It was as if the dress was made only for her since it looked perfect on her.

The style, the design, the fit, everything about the dress compliments her completely.

Haruhi didn't think twice, she bought it, not really caring about the price.

After paying for the dress, she asked Aki if she could help her dress up tomorrow night.

Aki agreed readily since she really enjoyed doing others' hair and make-up.

Haruhi smiled at her friend before thanking her.

She left with a wave before speeding off in her car.

After she left, the twins came out of the back room and questioned her why she was giggling.

Aki apologized and explained that her friend came to buy a dress which is the most expensive one that they have.

This surprised the twins immensely.

They know what dress she was talking about.

Whoever bought that dress has exquisite taste.

They nodded their heads in unison when she asked them if she could take her day-off tomorrow so that she can help her friend prepare.

Before they dismissed her, they were wondering about her friend.

Now they have two mystery women to think about.

They may be the same woman and they maybe two different women.

They're really not sure.

Their day ended nicely since Aki's friend came and bought that dress.


Aki arrived early in the morning.

As promised, she brought her make-up and hair accessories plus many other jewelries and accessories she may use.

"I'm sorry if I had to drag you to this. It's just that I don't usually do my hair and make-up." Haruhi said apologetically.

"It's okay. I really love dressing up other people. Don't worry about anything Haruhi." Aki said waving her hands in front of her.

Most of the day was spent in styling her hair and talking about the party.

They hadn't notice that it was almost time for the party to start.

Haruhi and Aki were caught off guard when Haruhi's cellphone rang.

"Hello Haruhi where are you? It's almost time for the party to begin. I wanted to introduce you to the Hitachiin family before the charity ball commence. I know you're doing your best to look good. You're already pretty so please come over here." Yuuna requested while Haruhi only chuckled before agreeing her consent.

"Okay. I'll be there. Wait for me near the door entrance. See you there." She replied with a giggle.

'Haruhi must really be excited about this if she giggled. She never giggles unless she's really excited or amused.' Yuuna mused and a smile was plastered on her face.


The Hitachiin family descended the stairs and entered the ballroom where the charity ball will be held.

Kaoru saw Yuuna near the door as if waiting for someone to arrive.

'Oh, I forgot. She invited her friend here. She must be waiting for her.' Kaoru thought before greeting her.

"Good evening Miss Himejima. Are you waiting for someone? You seemed to be expecting someone to come through those doors. Did you by any chance invited someone?" He questioned.

"Well, actually yes. I did invite my friend. She should be here any minute from now." She replied with a grin.

"I see. I hope your friend enjoys the party." He replied with a bow.

Then he left after their conversation to return to Hikaru's side.

"What did you ask her?" Hikaru asked with suspicion.

"Nothing much. I just asked her if she invited someone. I just wanted to confirm what we overheard." He answered confirming his brother's suspicion.

"Well, what did she say?" Hikaru inquired trying hard to hide his anxiety.

His brother saw through him but answered anyway, "She said that she did invite a friend and that her friend should be here any minute from now."

"Very well. We must now prepare ourselves. They expect us to entertain the guests." He said, effectively ending their small chat.

Kaoru just shrugged and followed as they went back inside the ballroom.


Haruhi looked like a goddess in her dress.

Her long hair was slightly wavy and she was wearing light make-up.

She was donning a three-inched stiletto heels that matched her outfit perfectly.

Her accessories complimented her eyes and skin so well that it made her look like an ethereal being walking on earth.

Her hair was waist length since she stopped cutting her hair when her father died.

It was what her father wanted so she fulfilled his little wish.

"You look perfect. Simply perfect Haruhi." Aki said proud of her work.

"Thank you Aki. If it wasn't for your help I wouldn't look like this." Haruhi replied sheepishly.

"It's nothing. Now go before Yuuna-san gets worried again." Aki shooed her off.

Haruhi just laughed as she rode her car and sped off.


There was still five minutes left before the party starts.

Haruhi was just in time.

Yuuna spotted her without difficulty.

She was practically a jewel in the midst of many stones.

She was an angelic vision in white.

"Haruhi! I'm glad you came. Now I'll introduce you to the Hitachiin family." Yuuna led her to where the said family is seated.

All eyes were on them.

Well most of them on Haruhi than Yuuna.

The twins noticed this and were curious as to who Yuuna was with.

They saw her pulling someone with her towards their table.

They still can't see the figure behind her but they caught a glimpse of what she was wearing.

'She's the girl who bought our dress. So they are the same person after all. But who is she?' The twins wondered.

"This is Haruhi Fujioka. She the friend I'm talking about the other day." Yuuna introduced placing Haruhi in front of her.

"Good evening. It's nice meeting you all." Haruhi said politely with her angelic voice.

The moment Yuuna placed Haruhi in front of them, both twins were awe-struck.

It was as if a goddess came down to earth just to visit them and hearing her voice only worsened their delusional state.

"You mean the Haruhi Fujioka? The most successful, youngest, and prominent lawyer in Japan?" Mr. Hitachiin asked not believing his eyes.

"Yes, she's the one. I'm quite surprised that she's that well-known." Yuuna said.

"Well, it's our family's great honor to meet you personally Miss Fujioka." Keiji said and bowed to Haruhi.

Haruhi bowed back and replied, "It is also a great honor meeting you and your family Mr. Hitachiin."

"I don't mind the formality but I prefer being called Keiji." Mr. Hitachiin requested.

"Of course Keiji-san. I also want to be called by my first name if you don't mind." Haruhi nodded her head in agreement.

Keiji agreed with a nod.

"Boys, do you mind introducing yourselves to our guest?" Keiji said nudging their elbows when he noticed them staring at Haruhi.

This caused them to be brought back to reality.

"Oh, we're sorry. I'm Hikaru." Hikaru began and Kaoru continued, "I'm Kaoru. We're twins by the way."

"It's our pleasure to meet you Miss Fujioka." They both finished with a grin.

Their parents smiled apologetically to Haruhi for their sons antics.

"Forgive them. They've always been like that to new acquaintances." Keiji said.

"It's okay Keiji-san. It's fine. It amuses actually to see them act like that." Haruhi smiled and caused the twins to blush.

"Nice to meet you too Hikaru-san." She said shaking Hikaru's hand.

"Nice to meet you too Kaoru-san." She said shaking Kaoru's hand.

The twins looked at each other, sending a message which showed their shock through their eyes.

'How could she tell who's who? We made sure that nobody will be able to differentiate us from each other.' The twins told each other through their eye contact.

They were brought out of their thoughts when they heard Yuuna excuse them to go to their own table.


Hikaru followed Haruhi's every movement with his eyes.

Keiji saw this and he smirked inward at how their deal seems to progress faster than he expected.

'It seems that this is just the perfect place and time for my son to take action.' Keiji mused.

"Son, it seems that she has gotten your attention. Don't forget about our deal now." He said with a hint of mischief in his voice.

"I'm not one to easily forget things Father. I'm the one who suggested that deal so I won't forget it that fast." Hikaru stated then continued with a hushed voice that is barely audible, "Yes, it appears that I'm quite taken with her."

At Haruhi's table, she can't help the feeling that she already met him.

Then her dream suddenly flashed before her.

'Is he that man?' She questioned herself.

'He is that man Haruhi. He is the one that I have chosen for you.' A voice that sounded much like her father's said in her head.

When she heard this, she didn't believe it at first but when she recognized her father's voice she didn't doubt it a bit.


Hikaru's eyes keep wondering back to Haruhi.

He was the one who designed the dress she was wearing.

Now that he saw her wear it, he wants to design more clothes for her.

'I better ask Aki more about her.' Hikaru kept in mind but for now he would have to ask her himself.

Kaoru was always following Hikaru's gaze and he observed that it was always ending up on her.

'It's obvious that he likes her. Very much indeed if his gaze and attention are on her. It also appears that his thoughts are occupied by her.' Kaoru contemplated while looking at his brother from the corner of his eyes.

They were brought out of their thoughts by their father's voice.

"Boys, I want you two to get to know her more. We might need her assistance someday. It will be to our advantage if she agrees to become our lawyer." Keiji ordered strictly.

"Of course Father." They said in sync.


Yuuna, being the organizer and host of the charity ball, asked the band to play some mellow tune for the guests to dance to.

She was still saying some announcements when the twins came into her line of sight.

She watched with amusement as the twins' smirk widened every time Haruhi politely rejects one male after another from dancing with her.

Yuuna just watched them carefully before returning to her seat.

The twins watched with interest as Haruhi declined all of the males' requests to dance.

They saw how she gracefully shook her head with each time she turns a man down.

Their gazes were so intent on her that every move she makes seen by them.

Of course Hikaru's gaze was more intense than Kaoru's and Kaoru saw this.

They saw her elegantly make her way through the crowd and enter their garden.

Kaoru turned away when he saw his brother follow her.

He silently followed him and hid behind a plant.


Haruhi wasn't aware that Hikaru was following her.

While she was marveling at the vast garden, she didn't know that a man was observing her every move.

"The roses are so beautiful. I can't imagine that they could be this beautiful." Haruhi whispered as she smelled one rose.

The roses were in full bloom and their scent filled the night air.

"I'm glad that they're to your liking. They are beautiful indeed but your beauty transcends theirs." Hikaru said in a whisper.

Haruhi turned around to come face to face with him.

"Thank you for your compliment. I've always loved roses the most and your garden is simply wonderful Hikaru-san." She breathed.

He just stood there motionlessly due to shock since she was able to tell them apart.

She did it yet again.

"Are you sure that I'm Hikaru and not Kaoru?" He inquired with a mischievous tone.

Haruhi just blinked a few times before answering him, "I'm sure. You're Hikaru and not Kaoru."

Hikaru noticed that she dropped the formality when she answered him.

The way she said his name sounded as if she knew him long ago.

Anyway, he likes the way she says his name, it comes out naturally.

He wasn't able to answer right away because he was busy staring at her.

She was beyond beautiful and he can't seem to place a word to describe it.

This image of her behind a background of fully bloomed roses was so alluring and the moonlight on her skin illuminated her and created an illusion that you are in the presence of a goddess.

"Hikaru are you okay?" She asked worry etched on her features.

"Yes, I'm okay. No need to worry." He replied without thinking.

"Then you admit that you're Hikaru. Why else would you respond to my question?" She said bluntly.

He inwardly smacked his forehead.

He had admitted it without his knowledge.

Haruhi began to laugh at his dilemma.

Her laughter was like a very sweet tune to his ears.

It was like silver bells ringing in harmony.

He laughed with her then since it was easy to be with her and to be around her.

When he's in her presence, he feels a calm that he'd never felt before that it makes him want to stay with her so he wouldn't lose that feeling of comfort and contentment.

She was having so much fun with him that she failed to notice a pair of eyes that's identical with her companion's watching them intently.


'I can't believe that he's the one Dad chose for me.' Haruhi thought placing a finger to her chin while tilting her head slightly.

This was enough for Hikaru.

He can't hold back anymore.

Seeing her like this was too much for him to handle.

He suddenly placed his lips over hers.

Even though it he did it all of a sudden, he was able to kiss her gently.

The kiss lasted for only a brief moment and they were both flushed when it ended.

Haruhi was incapable of thinking clearly for a few minutes because of his actions but she can't deny that she enjoyed it even if it was for a short period of time.

Hikaru, however, was amazed that she hadn't ran away from him.

While Kaoru stepped away from the scene not able to take it any longer.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that all of a sudden. It's just that I wasn't able to control myself at that time." Hikaru apologized looking directly at her.

"It's okay. Just don't that again without warning me at least." She replied with a blush.

He nodded his head thankful that she understands him.


"Well, it's getting late and I need to go home." Haruhi said startling him.

"You're not leaving without giving me the pleasure of dancing with you." He stated.

Haruhi thought about it for a second but she shook her head no.

"Please Haruhi. Just this dance and I'll let you go home." He pleaded removing the formalities between them.

This caused her to change her mind and dance with him.

Both of them were happy to be in each other's arms and dancing to the beat of their hearts.

It was a tune created by their feelings for each other.

They both decided to call it the Moonlight Waltz due to the fact that they're dancing to the light of the full moon.

'I will never forget this night.' They simultaneously thought.

It was a night to remember.
