Hikaru and Kaoru walked up to the gates of Ouran Academy. There were first year students this year and would start attending this very academy. They looked up at the buildings and frowned. "Well, here we go." They walked inside the gates and headed to the main building. "Do we have to see that stupid lord?" Hikaru asked. "Only seems fair, he did get it right." Kaoru replied. The older twin groaned, "Just great."

They then headed to the club room and opened the door together. "You're late! Hurry and get in formation!" Tamaki yelled. They rolled their eyes but did as they were told. Just then a brunette walked inside with matching brown eyes. "Hello. My, we've never had a male client before." "Uh… I'm not…" Tamaki went up to him and cupped her cheek. "Now, which type do you prefer?" Now we all know what happens next. The vase breaks, they learn he is actually a she named Haruhi, the works. Now, here's what happened next!

Hikaru burst out of that room and ran down the halls. "Oh god! It's her!" He made it all the way outside in the rose garden before he finally stopped and sat under a gazebo. Kaoru calmly found him and sat down next to him. "Hey, what's wrong?" "Kaoru it's the same girl! The same Haruhi! I know it is!" he panicked. His twin blinked in shock then looked away. "What are you going to do about it?" He frowned, "I'm not going to let her go this time. I felt lonelier than normal when I didn't see her anymore and now I'm going to fix that." Kaoru was shock and amazed. Here was his twin, branching out all for some girl. He never expected to see the day.

"Wow… All right. I'll help however I can." he smiled. Hikaru blinked then smiled warmly. "Thanks. That means a lot." "Anytime, you big dummy." Kaoru laughed. "Hey! Watch it!" he laughed as well. They laughed together, making jokes, teasing each other, everything that brothers do. They then stood up and walked back to the club room. Not that anyone noticed they were gone. All except Haruhi of course. "Welcome back you two." she smiled. Hikaru blushed and was unable to say a word. "Thanks." Kaoru smiled. They sat down on either side of Haruhi and wrapped their arms around her. "Remember us?~" Hikaru whispered in her ear. She froze then blinked. "You're those twins from years ago, right?" He couldn't believe it. She remembered! This thrilled him.

"Why yes we are." Kaoru snickered, "Pleasure seeing you again Haruhi." "It's been a while." she smiled, "To be honest I thought I'd never see you two again." Blow to Hikaru's heart. Kaoru winced. "Yeah well, neither did we." Hikaru retorted as he pulled away from her. "Hikaru! Be nicer to our new friend!" Tamaki yelled at him. "Forget it!" he yelled and ran out. Kaoru sighed. This is only harming Hikaru, not helping. He needed for this to work or else and so far nothing was going right. Just what Kaoru didn't need.

Instead of just running out this time, Hikaru had gone straight home. Kaoru found him once he too returned home but knew better than to bother him so he went to go start on his homework. Hikaru played video games and frowned as he defeated his opponent. "Stupid Haruhi. Stupid girls. Stupid Host Club." he muttered with a frown. "Why should I even bother?"

Sooner or later Kaoru dared to see how Hikaru was and blinked. "Hey. How are you?" "I'm fine." he huffed. Sure he was. That's why he was laying in bed and playing video games. What a bother. "Sure? Why don't you come out and eat?" he coaxed. "Not hungry." Hikaru pouted. "Come on, you have to eat." he sighed. "Nope!" Kaoru frowned and gently yanked on Hikaru's arm. "Grow up for once and get over this!" Hikaru blinked in shock. He never expected this from his twin, never.

"K-Kaoru…" "Now let's eat!" he smiled and ran off. Okay, this he kind of expected. He followed his little brother. "What's so great about this dinner?" "Its spicy Italian sausages!" He gasped and sped up, "Wait for me!" Now there was a real reason to hurry for dinner. Spicy food! They immediately gulped down their food once they reached the table, ignoring all manners then zoomed up to their room once more.

"Better?" Kaoru asked as they flopped onto the bed. "Yeah, much, thanks." Hikaru flopped down beside him. "Anytime." he chuckled. "Best. Food. Ever!" the twins cheered together and shifted so they faced each other. "So, want to play a video game?" "Thought you'd never ask." They sat up and started playing games like Mario kart and things like that. Most of the time either one or the other won the game, in all ending in a tie, as usual. "Kaoru this game is getting boring." "Yeah." he nodded.

They laid there on the bed for what seemed like hours, though it was only a few minutes, and sighed. "So about Haruhi…" "What about her?" he frowned. "Don't give up on her, okay?" Kaoru told him, "I want you two to be happy together and I can see that happening but you just got to learn to control your temper." Hikaru frowned but said nothing. He had to agree, he did have a bit of a temper. But he never expected it to be that bad.

"Sorry…" he mumbled, "I didn't know…" Kaoru smiled, "It's okay. Just try to work on it." Hikaru pouted but nodded, "Fine!" "Good." Kaoru chuckled and put his hand on his twin's shoulder. He loved him like hell and wanted him to be happy. Sooner or later, he would be. With the girl of his dreams no less. At least, that's what he hoped for. Seemed like a good goal to work for. Perhaps it would happen. Only time could tell. They just had to wish for the best.

As the next day came, Hikaru tried to be more relaxed. But something really ticked him off. Tono was showing signs that he liked Haruhi. He was glad at least that Haruhi didn't return those feelings. That he was grateful for. He went over to the strange girl but found it hard to even speak a work to her. 'Dammit! Just talk to the woman!' he thought angrily to himself. 'She's nothing but a girl, nothing scary. Just talk to her.' He opened his mouth and then… "Hey Hikaru, what are you staring at?" Haruhi blinked, looking up at him. He blushed and quickly averted his eyes. "N-nothing."

"So why don't you say anything? Looks like you keep trying to." she pressed. "I just wanted to ask you…" he gulped. "Ask me what?" she questioned. "Ask you… if you want to hang out this weekend, seeing as we already know each other. It'd be cool." She smiled and nodded, "Sure! Sounds nice. Will Kaoru be joining us?" "Yeah, sure." he shrugged, a little sad they couldn't be alone but went along with it. "So I'll see you Sunday? Noon?" he asked. She nodded once more, "All right. I'll see you two then." She then stood up and walked off to study for a test she was about to take. He smirked. He was going to get her before Tono would even get a chance. Suck that Tamaki!

He ran up to Kaoru, grinning like a fool. "She's going to come to our place Sunday!" Kaoru smiled, "That's great! What do you plan to do?" He paused. He never really thought about it. "Um… I guess we can talk and play games." "I don't think Haruhi is the type to play games." Kaoru sighed. "Just let it happen when it happens. Maybe she will. Maybe she won't." Hikaru huffed, "We'll cross that when we get to it. Now shut up and let me think." Kaoru rolled his eyes and left his twin alone. He'd figure something out, he just had to. Otherwise he'd have a really crappy date.
