A/N: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. If I did, then I would be happy. Okay this is the second chapter of the story, and I guess judging on the number of hits and reviews, I guess it was okay. This time is a little better. Instead of me rambling go ahead and continue.

Brotherhood

It was dawn at the Hitachiin household. The cool crisp air flew throughout the area of the rooms. Upstairs in the hallway both of the twins were soundly asleep in their own bedroom. Snoring came from one area while the other was hardly asleep. This time, one of the twins had trouble sleeping through the night.

Sweat dripped down Kaoru's face as he tossed and turned in his head. The same dream clouding his head once again.

"Hikaru…" he mumbled.

Dream sequence

'Where am I?' he thought

As he roamed throughout the room, he was curious of his surroundings, figuring out where he was.

"Hikaru. Is there anyone here?" There was no response to the twin's answer. Without any thought, he started to run around the dense area, finding any way out of the darkness.

The dark haze departed as Kaoru stopped to see a house that was standing in front of him.

"What is this place?" Curiously, he looked to see if there was some kind of name or number to the mysterious manor. There on the front side of the door were the numbers 587. He opened the door slowly and walked inside to the empty mansion.

As he roamed around, the living room was completely demolished. The chairs covered in cob web, and the glass that was once on the dining table shattered into broken fragments. Kaoru picked up a glass plate that was still in its fixed position. It still had shine in it, like a mirror. When he set the plate back on the table, he noticed a figure standing far away from him. The figure had a blue t- shirt with blue jean pants. His hair was orange with a tint of red, and a height as tall as Kaoru himself.

"Hikaru?" Kaoru said as he wondered why he was standing there without saying a word.

The mysterious person Kaoru had called pointed a finger at him and told him to follow. While laughing softly, he ran out of Kaoru's sight.

"Wait, stop!" Kaoru ran up the wooden stairs, and turned. "Come back, Hikaru!"

It felt as though he was running on a wild goose chase. He ran through the broken corridors and turned.

"Ouch!" the younger twin yelped as he tripped over the burgundy rug that was on the floor. It didn't stop him, but he got right back up on his feet and continued. He was almost out of breath when the so called Hikaru came to a stop. Then in the middle of nowhere, he heard a clock ringing in a different part of the room then stopped. It felt like time stopped when Hikaru and Kaoru met face to face.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Kaoru shouted. "You couldn't answer when I called your name then you lead me-" Kaoru knew that something wasn't right. He could tell because Hikaru wasn't looking at his brother's eyes.

Kaoru ran toward Hikaru with fury and shook him. "Why did you lead me here?"

There was no response from the older brother.

"Why won't you answer me Hikaru?" Kaoru looked at him, but his ginger hair covered them.

"Kaoru…" a voice whispered. It wasn't Hikaru but it sounded different. He looked down the hallway to see if there was anyone present behind them. Instead he answered back.

"What do you want?"

The voice did not answer, but chuckled a little bit. It sent shivers down the twin's spine, since it felt closer to him than he thought.

"Why are you so foolish Kaoru?" the voice spoke once more. "Can't you tell that this is your brother?" Kaoru looked back at him as Hikaru finally answered.

"Do you love me Kaoru?" He said suddenly. He had anger in his voice all of a sudden. Of course he loved him but there was something strange about it.

When he finally revealed his face, there was blood dripping down from his forehead all the way down his cheeks. There lay a sadistic smile across his face. Strands of tears ran down the younger twin's face as he released his grip off of Hikaru and started to run. His brother pounced on him, and held down Kaoru's body.

"Now, now you're not trying to run away are you?" Hikaru cackled and licked the right side of his cheek. "I thought you loved me…or maybe you don't love me after all." They were both locked in a gaze with one another until Hikaru whispered. "I really hate you, but you already know that…I just use you for my own toy."

"I do love my brother, but you're not Hikaru you sadistic freak!" Kaoru began to sob. "You're not Hikaru!"

The older brother picked up Kaoru by one hand, and slammed him against the wall. He coughed up blood as he slowly struggled to get up from the full impact from his body. Hikaru picked him up slowly by the hair.

"That hurts my feelings Kaoru. It doesn't really matter now." A look of bloodlust appeared in Hikaru's eyes. "I can kill you since you don't matter to me now." He began to squeeze Kaoru's neck while, the younger twin struggled to free himself from the grip on his neck. Tears were running down constantly as blood dripped at the edge of his mouth.

At the last minute, Kaoru kicked him and fell to the floor. For a quick chance, he decided to run away from Hikaru before he could find him. He sat in the corner of the closest room, regaining his breath.

"Kaoru…" it was the same voice from before. Kaoru couldn't recognize the voice, but it sounded like a female's. Kaoru raised his knees to his chest and crossed his arms to hide his terrified face. The cold sweat dripped down his forehead to his chin as azure tears fell to the hard floor.

"Kaoru." another voice whispered. Kaoru tried his best to block the voices out, but they grew louder and louder by the minute.

"Sweet, scared, Kaoru." The female voice replied. "Are you alone?"

Kaoru didn't listen, but he could answer it.

"No…" Kaoru said softly.

"Are you sure about that?" She knew where to push his buttons. "Your depressed heart says yes." Kaoru didn't look up but he did see the bottom of the dress. It was a scarlet dress with gray edges on the tip of the dress. She wore red shoes to match the color of the dress.

"What do you want with me?" Kaoru said coldly.

"Face the truth, Kao-kun." She whispered in his ear. "Your brother doesn't need you, nor does he want you. You're all alone in this world, as he runs freely to the outside." She wrapped her arms around his shoulder. "The darkness is surrounding you, and there's no place for you to escape. When someone who is close to you and cares only about you, they would soon find someone else, and move along. These words struck Kaoru's mind. It sunk deep into his heart as though it was being ripped into pieces.

He lifted his face to see only a woman without a face. Kaoru couldn't scream nor could he move. He could only stare at the faceless person in terror.

"Get away!" Kaoru shouted as he tried releasing himself once again. "Let me go!"

The woman shouted, "You're just like me Kaoru, you're alone and broken like a useless toy. Hikaru doesn't need you anymore." Hands appeared around him pulling him down on the floor. They were trying to pull him into the last room, which revealed a dark whirlpool in front of him.

"Hikaru! Help me!" he desparately shouted from the top of his lungs."

The hands continued to drag and squeeze him. At the last minute, there was silence from Kaoru as he felt something cold and wet ripped out of his body.

End Dream Sequence

Meanwhile, Hikaru got up from his bed to get a drink of water. He was squinted his eyes while a small yawn escaped his mouth as he walked down the hall. He was about to pass by the stairs until he heard something coming from Kaoru's room. There, he stopped and opened the door slowly. He noticed the twin squirming in the bed, while cold sweat ran across his face.

'Nightmare.' Hikaru thought while he scratched his head. The orange-haired teen sat on the edge of his brother's bed, and tried to shake him gently.

"Kaoru." He whispered in his ear. There was no response except the younger twin quivered in his sleep. "Kaoru, wake up." Kaoru opened his eyes instantly, and stared at Hikaru sitting on the side of his bed.

"Hikaru…" Kaoru had a tear on the side of his cheek. Hikaru took one finger and wiped the tear away before it ran down any further.

"It's okay, Kaoru." Hikaru whispered in his ear. Kaoru cuddled close to Hikaru and wrapped his arms around his brother.

'It felt so real.' Kaoru thought to himself while crying in Hikaru's arms.

Hikaru looked at his reflection and asked, "Do you want to talk about it?" Kaoru wanted to tell him what happened, but it was best if he kept it to himself until the time was right.

"No, that's okay." Kaoru wiped the tears away from his eyes. Hikaru stood up and started to walk out of the door until…

"Hikaru?" Kaoru said.

Hikaru grunted as an answer for 'yes.'

"Could you… if its okay with you then would you?" Kaoru kept mumbling while barely blushing. Hikaru turned back around and laid down on Kaoru's bed.

"Get some rest Kaoru." Hikaru turned to his twin. Kaoru let out a soft sigh as he turned to face Hikaru. Kaoru felt his brother's warm breath on his face, but it didn't matter to him. Without any other thought, Kaoru held Hikaru's hand. A small smile appeared on Hikaru's face. When it came to the Hitachiin twins, it didn't matter if they held each other's hand, but it helped when one had trouble sleeping.

It was the first time in three months that the twins had shared a peaceful dream together.

A/N: I hope you liked the second chapter, but I usually write out my story, then type it. It really takes long to do. So please let me know how the second was. I don't care what kind of review it is, as long as it isn't flames. Give me an opinion for what I should do for the next chapter. Until the next time everyone.
