People...as much as I love your support of faving and alerting me/my stories but can you also review? How else will I know what mistakes and whatnot I may have done. But I'm not complaining though, because you guys are so awesome, 12 mails in one day just on faves and alerts. That's certainly a boost! And here's the second chapter to this story, hope you enjoy.
Ouran Highschool Host Club is not mine, all credits go to Hatori Bisco.
Later that night in the Hitachiin estate, Kaoru; with nothing but his 3/4 pants on, simply sat there on the large bed as Hikaru puts on his blue boxers. The elder twin knows what his twin is thinking. He knows of the pain and embarrassment Kaoru had to go through during Lobelia and was relieved to return to Ouran, only to find himself re-living the nightmare thanks to Osamu. The elder twin silently made his way to the bed and pulls Kaoru into a tight embrace, the younger simply sighs raggedly and buries his face in his brother's bare chest.
"Hush, no more crying, you know I can't stand it to see you cry. Don't worry, I'll hold you, protect you, love you, so much that that teacher won't be able to lay his grubby hands on you," Hikaru growls out softly by his younger brother's ears. Kaoru couldn't think anymore, all he wants is to curl away under the sheets and never awaken until Osamu returns to wherever he may come from.
"Hikaru..." Kaoru breathes out tiredly; his brother's embrace is feeling rather nice and is actually helping his turbulent mind to calm. Hearing that weak, tired tone, Hikaru grips his brother tightly yet gently and brought him closer. "Will you? Will you do just that for me?" Kaoru finally voice out his thoughts, earning a strange look from his twin.
"Of course I would!" Hikaru admonished gently. "You're my other half, my brother, my own flesh and blood, why wouldn't I protect you?" Kaoru wanted to say how Hikaru's been looking at Haruhi lately, but he knew better than to ruin this intimate moment by making Hikaru mad at him. And what he needs right now is Hikaru's warmth and love.
"Besides, we know how much of a creep that guy can be. I'm sure the seniors are already up to something, especially Kyouya-senpai; did you hear his tone just now? I bet he's already on the case, formulating a plan to get rid of Osamu as soon as possible," Hikaru grins out that fox-like grin that assured Kaoru almost immediately.
The younger twin yawns and Hikaru gently lowers him and cover his slim body with the blanket. Kaoru drifts in and out of consciousness as the gentle thrumming of Hikaru's heart lulls him to sleep. Truth be told, he doesn't want to sleep just yet, but just listening to his brother's life force next to him made his resistance slip away like water through fingers. Next thing he felt was Hikaru's gentle, warm kiss on his forehead before the darkness consumes him.

Ouran Academy's bell chimes through the morning air as the students pile in the courtyard, greeting each other good morning as they walk to class. The girls mostly are waiting for their favorite hosts to greet them good morning, mostly those who favor the twins because they knew of the problem Kaoru faced back in Lobelia.
As the twins walk in, the girls couldn't help but explode with intense love at seeing them both walking hip by hip and Hikaru's arm protectively circling Kaoru's waist with one hand while the other holds both their bags, so Kaoru's arms are free and twiddling away at his fingers whilst his cheeks are a pair of rosy pink. Some of the girls even faint at the sight but most of them are staring at them with happy little sighs.
"Hikaru, really, this is unnecessary," Kaoru squeaks out shyly. Oh how he wants to use his host skill to the max but this situation is rather embarrassing enough without him to create a fake blush. Both boys and girls are staring at them and this made the rosy pink blush on his cheeks a deeper shade of color.
"What're you saying Kaoru?" Hikaru chuckles lightly as he pulls his brother closer, earning a squeak from Kaoru. "If you want to make sure that that man doesn't come near you, I have to do this. Plus, I rather like it," Hikaru grins out and nuzzling his brother's neck, earning loud 'kyaa's' and more fainting from the girls' side. The boys merely shook their heads in mirth and leaving the twins alone; because they know better than to mess with the Hitachiins.
"Hikaru, Kaoru, there you are," came a cool voice behind them. Upon turning, they found it was Kyouya, walking up to them with fast strides and ignoring whatever's in his path. "I was told something by my father, but that information is still closed to all of you and it's none of your business. All I can say is, he knew of Rokurou-sensei and gave me permission to do as I please to him," the Shadow King smiles out chillingly.
"So basically, thanks to my father, I'm actually helping you in getting rid of him, be glad because if not, I wouldn't even bother with this," Kyouya sighs out and place a hand in his pocket. Hikaru's eyes narrow considerably and he walks up to the second-year without a single fear in his heart.
"So you're saying; if your father doesn't know about this, you wouldn't even help us get rid of him?" Hikaru hollered. "Do know this, I can get rid of him no problem with or without your help so you can just stick a pipe up your ass,"
"Hikaru! Stop that!" Kaoru admonished and grips his brother tightly around his forearm. "I'm sorry Kyouya-senpai, he's just upset because with Osamu transferring here, I'm a target for his flirting and it's putting Hikaru on edge," the younger twin said out softly with a smile. Kyouya ignores the seething Hitachiin and smiles that honest, rare smile of his back at Kaoru. Hikaru quirks a brow at the sudden change of temperature around Kyouya and frowns deeply at the exchanging smiles between the two.
"Don't worry about that, Kaoru. Let's say if he starts to make you feel uncomfortable, I'll deal with him personally, so you don't have to worry too much, alright?" Kyouya said and then he did something that caught everyone off guard; he pats Kaoru on the head. Kaoru blushed, Hikaru let out a no-voice scream, the girls squealed and Kyouya grins before leaving them.
As soon as he left, Kaoru turns to Hikaru who obviously, is still pointing at the direction where Kyouya went and his mouth opens in a silent scream of pure fury. Kaoru could see his brother is shaking and went over to rub his back, soothing the now panting twin. "Hikaru, really, be nicer to him, this is Kyouya-senpai we're talking to," Kaoru pouts, earning a rather 'are you insane?' look from his brother.
"Because it's Kyouya-senpai we have to watch out for! We don't know what he might do, which is why we have to be on guard and not let him walk all over us," Hikaru waves his arms frantically but was gently calmed by Kaoru. Looking into those calm amber pools, Hikaru really couldn't fight him. He may be stronger, but no matter how much strength he tries to use against Kaoru, he'll never win.
"Let's just go to class, after all, it was just a friendly pat to the head like how milord always does," Kaoru points out. Hikaru stares at him unbelievingly, but he lets his brother say as he pleases. If it's ok, then it's ok, nothing to make a mountain out of a molehill for. The two walk together hand in hand as a pair of dark brown eyes watches them from afar.

Yuzuru leans over the balcony his office situates in to watch the students. Being the chairman of Ouran, he knows the school's structure all too well, for he was the one who designed secret passages, rooms and corridors for the teachers' advantages. One of the secret rooms is in his own office, leading to a hidden balcony where he is right now, watching his students with an eagle eye's view, yet they couldn't see him anywhere.
"Mr. Suoh, there is a call from Mr. Ootori, he says it's urgent," the secretary says as she walks through the hidden passageway. Yuzuru accepts the phone and waves the secretary out. He knew what Yoshio is probably thinking, but there's no harm in finding out to make sure he's not wrong.
"Yuzuru, I have sent all the information regarding Rokurou-kun via fax; you should be getting them soon. Whatever happens, you are not to tell my son of this high information about that man, he'll find out sooner or later. If he truly is an Ootori, he'll find it soon," Yoshio's voice came from the phone in its usual sharp yet cool tone.
"Kyouya-kun is very capable in manipulating, much like you, Yoshio. He'll find whatever he needs to find no problem. After all, he's managing with my son alright, so this man certainly wouldn't pose any threat whatsoever," Yuzuru answers back with a feral grin. True to words that he's a very easy-going man when it comes to his son and his students. But behind closed doors, Yuzuru is just as manipulative as the Ootori family.
The two adults talk for a little bit longer before Yuzuru cuts the connection. His eyes never leaving the twins' form as they walk through the courtyard and entering the building. The younger Hitachiin, he thought, is rather interesting because he had put up with Osamu once or twice, and doesn't seem to be fazed at all. It's just his brother that's making things a bit more complicating.
"Well," he said with a grin as soon as the twins' form disappears. "Better see how this façade turns out, and better let Yoshio knows just how capable his third son exactly is," With that, Yuzuru returns to his desk to finish a few reports regarding Osamu's transfer. But what caught his eye is a piece of paper, faxed by Yoshio minutes ago. When he's done reading it, Yuzuru's eyes widen, and then sparkle with mischief.
"This is a surprise..."

As they enter their class, Hikaru and Kaoru could distinctively hear the girls whispering among themselves about a new teacher in the school. Kaoru tensed immediately upon hearing one of the girls said 'Rokurou-sensei' while Hikaru grips his brother's hand tighter within his. Haruhi; who's been watching the twins ever since they came in, could only give Kaoru a sympathetic glance as she took her seat. She and Kaoru had switched places because apparently Hikaru's gotten paranoid ever since Lobelia.
"Don't worry Kaoru, there's zero to one chance he'll get our class, because none of our teachers are on leave," Hikaru assures his brother in the best way possible. Kaoru tries to smile despite the sinking feeling but the drainage of blood on his face shows how worried he is, and how he's currently panicking. Hikaru places his brother on his seat and stands next to him, guarding his younger sibling. The girls who are trying to get close to the twins are effectively shut away with Hikaru's intense glare.
"Hikaru, you're scaring everyone," Kaoru mumbles out quietly, but loud enough for his brother to hear him. Even Haruhi seems to be inching away for no apparent reason.
"Because I saw someone I absolutely loathe," the elder twin growls out. His head is facing the window facing the corridor and curious, Kaoru looks at the same direction and his mind just locks itself. There outside, is their homeroom teacher with Osamu trailing behind her. The students took their seats and so did Hikaru, his hand sneakily went over to Kaoru's and grips it tightly.
The homeroom teacher, Takumi Miyako enters the class followed by Osamu. The beautiful woman is in her mid-twenties with sharp grey eyes and chocolate brown wavy hair that reaches beneath her shoulders and wearing white frilly blouse with black pencil-skirt and black heels. She pulls out a pair of thin-rimmed glasses and writes something on the blackboard. The class merely watches with intent and curiosity.
Rokurou Osamu, teacher-in-training.
She then turns to the class and notices the twins holding their hands and Kaoru's pale face. She could only suppress a sigh and ignores them; after all, she's already too used to them being lovey-dovey whether in class or out.
"Students, I'd like you to meet Rokurou Osamu-sensei, he'll be with me for the teacher-in-training program and my assistant in class, so give him the same respect as you give me, understand?" she said sharply. Besides the twins, Miyako too isn't happy with the sudden 'assistant' she gained because to her, an assistant will only slow her down, plus, she's one of the strictest teacher the school ever had. The students nod their heads and they began their studies for the day.

As school ends, Hikaru and Kaoru couldn't ignore the facts that the girls now have a crush on Osamu. Ever since Osamu steps into Ouran Academy, all the girl students; freshmen, sophomore and seniors alike have some sort of crush on him. This made Kaoru wish that he could just change the man's vision away from him and to one of the girls.
"Hey, don't worry, he doesn't know you're in the Host Club, you'll be fine," Hikaru smiles which earn him a grateful thanks from his younger sibling. The two enters the clubroom as the girls continue to whisper away happy sighs about Osamu around them. For the twins, that man has officially become the bane of their existence.
On one side of the school, Haruhi is trudging across the hallways as fast as she could in order to reach the Host Club in time least she wants to be at the end of the twins' punishment game again. As she turns around a corner, she met Osamu walking down the hallways with stacks of papers in his hand. The man gives Haruhi a one-over and quickly recognizes her. Haruhi tries to side-step away but he had called her out.
"Miss Fujioka? My my, why are you in a boy's outfit? Is the girl's outfit too expensive for you or are you more comfortable with pants rather than skirts?" he asks with that cheeky, sultry smile of his that made the hair at the back of Haruhi's neck stand up and her skin crawling down her spine. Really...even he freaks her out most of the time.
She fidgets a little until she finally relents and tells him the truth.
"You see, I broke an eight million yen vase that was supposed to be in an auction in the Host Club. So now I have to repay my debt by working with them until I meet my quote of a thousand designations," she said with a slightly nervous smile. She's already late and talking to him isn't really helping the situation, and Osamu doesn't seem to want to let her go anytime soon too.
"Yes, that's interesting and all but why are you in a boy's outfit? That's my main question now," he said, his tone getting slightly bit sharper and Haruhi starts to get annoyed at this man. One day in Ouran and he thinks he knows all the rules, the nerve of this guy! Not wanting to argue any longer, Haruhi decides to just tell him everything.
"I have to in order to meet my quota, and everyone here already thinks I'm a boy anyway so it isn't really a big deal. Tamaki-senpai wants me in a dress way too badly, and so are the twins but I don't see what the point is," she mumbles out the last part. However, Osamu heard the word 'twins' and is already intrigued. Moving closer to the girl, he places a hand on her shoulder.
"So, the twins are in this Host Club thing? Where is it exactly? And when does it usually start?" he asks. Haruhi's eyes grew wide when she realizes what she had done, but it's already too late to do anything about it.
"Third music room, normally starts after school which is now. Can I please go? I'm already so late," she said. Osamu releases his hand from her shoulder and watches the girl jogs away, a small smile playing on his lips.
'Third music room, huh?'
Yes yes yes, I'm aware that I put a little twist there between Yuzuru and Yoshio. And what is that twist? It'll be somewhere in the last few chapters. Now, I don't know how many chapters this will take but the storyline's been plotted out, so I won't be making this up as I go because if I do, I'll confuse myself.
And regarding my note on wanting to use a bit of the manga scene during the end? I take it back, it's too complicated. I hate it when my ideas are tied with something and making it closed, seriously, I find it annoying. Anybody else noticed how my style of writing's changed? Haha..
By the way before I completely forgot, there will be a very slight Kyouya and Kaoru in here with a sprinkle of Hikaru and Kaoru. I hope that's fine with all of you.
Once again... CLICK THE REVIEW BUTTON PLEASE and tell me what'd you think of this chapter.
