Chapter Two

Hinata stared at Neji and Hanabi's guilty faces as the fire department put out the kitchen fire. She tapped a finger on her arm and continued to stare at them. Neji wore a slightly burned apron and Hanabi had some cake batter on her face. She exhales and hugs both of them tightly to herself.

"Thank goodness you're alright." She whispers. Both hug her back, awkwardly. They thought she would be angry. But this was similar to her reaction last time. Last time she was practically in tears. She lets them go and look at her with odd expressions.

"You're not mad?" Hanabi asks awkwardly. Hinata shakes her head. Her index finger wipes a tear coming out of the corner of her eye. Her hands were shaking, she was so worried. But she had taught herself not to show any sort of emotion at school, it only turned out bad.

"Hinata-sama, Are you ok?" Neji asks taking a step forward. Hinata turns her head away from them, shaking from head to toe.

"Yes……. I'm fine…… just……" She whips her head towards them with an angry look, "Never worry me like that again!!"

OoO

"Let me go!" Haruhi exclaims struggling against the vice grip of Kaoru and Hikaru. They were trying to pull her into the limo that Tamaki, Kyouya, Honey and Mori were in. They, eventually, succeeded. Slamming the door closed, the driver began to race towards Hinata's house.

"How do you know where Hii-chan's house is?" Haruhi asks awkwardly. But she was already guessing the answer.

"Kyo-chan searched on the internet!!" Honey said looking out the window. Icing blotched around his mouth. Haruhi spared a side glance at Kyouya, then she looked right back out the window. She tapped the window a couple times.

"We're here." She says. A look of confusion flashes across Kyouya's face as he looked at his laptop again.

"But that's no-"

"She told be about her doing that so no one would visit her for anything about business. That address will just end up in an empty lot at the other side of town."

Kyouya snaps his laptop shut and grabs the phone on the door. After the driver picked up, he told him to stop. The limo came to an abrupt stop and sent Tamaki stumbling across the floor. Haruhi immediately opens the door and jumps out. She ran towards the house where Hinata, Neji and Hanabi were.



"Haruhi!" Tamaki cries out as he ran after her. Honey jumped out as Mori walked out calmly. He jumped up onto Mori's shoulders. Hikaru and Kaoru ran out over to Hinata. Kyouya walks out of the limo calmly towards Hinata, Neji and Hanabi.

Hinata turns her head towards them as tear was slipping down her cheek. Her hands were still shaking as well as the rest of her body. Haruhi hugs Hinata tightly. "It's ok." She whispered into Hinata's ear. Hinata began to calm down, but the shaking didn't stop. Haruhi turned to look at Neji, who was still wearing the burnt apron. She arches an eyebrow and looks at him, her eyes raft over to Hanabi. A vein popped out of her forehead.

"You made Neji cook just to see him in an apron. Do you remember what happened last time?"

Hanabi hung her head in guilt. Referring to last time was the last time that they set Hinata's kitchen on fire. Her brown eyes raft up to Neji.

"And you did it. You have absolutely no idea what stress you're putting Hinata under do-", Hinata puts a finger in front of Haruhi's lips.

"Please, don't." She says softly, "I need some tea."

Her breathing wasn't steady, it was hitched, "Let's go to my house, Hii-chan."

Hinata nods shakily as she looks back up at Neji and Hanabi, then at Haruhi. A light sigh escapes Haruhi, "They can come too." Hikaru walks around and begins to lead Hinata towards the limo. She jerks away from him, "I-I pr-prefer to walk. He-Helps me thi-think." She said walking towards the sidewalk. Haruhi begins to walk after her, "H-Haa-chan, I-I need t-to th-think by-by myself." Haruhi stops abruptly. Hinata began to walk away from the house, her footsteps even. Tamaki looks at Haruhi adoringly.

"Are you sure she'll be ok by herself?"

Haruhi looks up at Tamaki and smiles reassuringly, "She's a master at martial arts. She'll be fine, but that doesn't stop my worry for her." Her eyes raft back to where Hinata was. Hikaru was leading Hanabi and Neji into the limo. Kyouya, Honey and Mori were already in the limo. Kaoru was standing at the entrance to the sidewalk that Hinata walked down. Once Neji and Hanabi were in the limo, Hikaru looks at Kaoru.

"Kaoru-kun, Are you ok?" Kaoru looks at Hikaru.

"I'm going to walk, Hikaru-kun." He said. Before Hikaru could respond at all, Kaoru began to walk. His concern was on one person and one person alone. She had caught his curiosity. Hikaru smiles slightly and gets into the limo.

OoO

A tear slips down Hinata's cheek as she stood in front of a large tree. She lifted one of her porcelain hands up to trace the large oak's bark. This tree held a lot of her favorite memories. Her first real friend, her first date, this tree was her sanctuary. Kaoru spots Hinata in front of the tree. He walks forwards, 

silently. He didn't want to startle her. She looks up at him with a teary expression. She quickly wipes away the tears.

"I-I'm so-sorry you h-have to-to see me l-like this."

Without another word, Kaoru walks over to her and wraps his arms around her. Her eyes widen as she buried her face into his shoulder. He strokes her hair and whispers condolences into her ear softly. She, slowly, calms down and looks up at him from the position that they were in. A light blush crosses his face. Even with the after math of crying, she still looked cute. He brought his hand up and wipes away the left over tears. She looks down.

"Th-Thank you." She said in just barely a whisper. He presses his lips against her forehead and her cheeks flush a light pink. She lets go of him and takes a step backwards. She looks up at him with a slight smile. "The reason I was walking to her house was because I was going to get a haircut. It was going to be a surprise."

Kaoru stares at her for a moment. This girl is full of surprises…. She grabs his hand and begins to walk toward the barber shop. He blushes at the contact. She lets go of his hand once at the entrance to the barber shop.

"Wait here." She says going into the barber shop.

TEN MINUTES LATER

Kaoru opens the door to see a girl with incredibly short hair that was paying for the cut. It was actually very cute. It jutted out in the back and was midnight blue. Wait…. Midnight blue? She turned around to face Kaoru and she arches one of her eyebrows. He gapes at her like an open fish.

"Something wrong, Hitachiin-san?" She asks softly. She walks closer to him and puts her hand to his forehead. Once she touches him, he comes out of his daze. He took a step backwards, "We better get to Haruhi's house."

Hinata nods with a shy smile. A blush covers Kaoru's neck as he rubs it. He began to walk out of the barber shop and Hinata follows him. Then he realized that he was going the wrong way.

"Hitachiin-san, do you know which way to-"

"Kaoru."

"Excuse me?"

"Call me Kaoru-kun."

"Okay, Kaoru-kun, do you know which way to go?"

He hung his head and shook it. She giggles lightly and takes his hand, "C'mon. I know which way."



She began to pull him in a different direction towards Haruhi's apartment. Kaoru couldn't help but blush the entire way. She knocks on the door and it swings open. Hinata stumbles backwards into Kaoru and a light blush makes its way onto her cheeks. Ryoji stood there at the door a curious look on his woman face. A light bulb went off in his head and he pulled Hinata in a hug. Kaoru made his way around them.

"Hinata-chan!! You're Sooooo cute!!"

Everyone looked around at Hinata, except Kyouya. He was looking at Kaoru, who still had a tinge of a blush on his cheeks.

"What happened?"

FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY!

Kit: Finally!

Haruhi: You've said that already, three times.

Kit: And your point is….

Haruhi: No point.

Hinata: Five reviews please.
