Title: Just You and Me
Chapter Two: The Arrow

Yumi looked up at the menu and studied it. She had dragged Kaoru into the first place she could find that sold food, a local commoner fast food place. At this point, he wasn't all that picky about what he ate as long as it was some thing. He could always go home and get some thing better later. Kaoru listened as Yumi placed her order and then he placed his own. They found a table at the back of the small restaurant near a window and took a seat.

"Thank you for coming with me," Yumi smiled. "I hate eating alone."

"Well, you didn't really give me much of a choice and neither did my stomach," He chuckled and smiled back at her.

"If you have some thing to do you can go. I won't mind."

"No, my house is empty right now and I would pretty much be doing what I've been doing all week. Sulking on the couch and pretending I'm listening to what's on the TV."

"I used to do the same thing when my mom wasn't around. I still do," Yumi responded.

"Where is she now?" Kaoru asked.

"Some where...Barcelona I think. She's doing some fashion show there," she said. "I wasn't paying all that much attention."

At that moment their orders were done and they got up to go get their food. They ate in silence for a while before Yumi asked if he lived in the area and where he went to school.

"I have never been to a real school. My mother traveled too much and took me with her. Now I stay with my aunt."

"I go to Ouran," Kaoru replied.

"Ah, that is where my aunt wants to send me. She thinks I'm too much trouble to have around the house when I'm not doing photo shoots."

"You should go. I'll show you around."

"Tell me more about the school."

And so he began telling her, about his friends, the host club, his brother and many other things. He felt comfortable in sharing with her things he normally wouldn't tell to a perfect stranger, no matter how pretty she was. After they finished eating, and her declining his offer of giving her a ride home, Kaoru walked her back to the studio. He watched her walk up the steps and wave back at him before she disappeared inside, then called for some one to come pick him up.

(Hikaru)

After spending a long day at the park they decided to go to the movies and rest. They say there side by side, throwing popcorn at each other, while the movie played. If you were to ask either Hikaru or Haruhi what the movie was about and if they would recommend it, they probably wouldn't be able to give you answer. By the time the movie was finished it was already dark outside, so instead of letting her walk home alone in the dark, Hikaru insisted on giving her ride home. In other words he dragged her into the limo before she could say no and had the driver start driving in the direction of her apartment.

He walked her to the door of her apartment, even after she said many times that it wasn't necessary.
"See on Monday," She said as she opened the door.

"Bye."

Before she could go in he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and then ran down the stairs to the limo waiting at the bottom. Haruhi stood there with a hand on her cheek where he had kissed it, her cheeks looking a little pick. Back in the limo, Hikaru had turned a few shades redder, some how astonished at what he had just did.

(Monday-After School)
It was after school in the third music room and the host club activities had just finished. They waved the last of the girls out the room and set about cleaning before they went home. Kyouya sat in a corner calculating the day's earnings and adding up the expenses. Hikaru had left Kaoru's side as soon as the girls had left to help Haruhi collect the dishes that had been used that day. Tamaki hovered over Kyouya's shoulder suggesting idea after idea for the host club's next theme, completely oblivious to the fact that the Shadow King had long since stopped listening and drowned out the sound of his voice. Mori had long since taken Hunny home who had fallen asleep on one of the couches clutching his stuffed bunny. It may have had to do with all the cakes...maybe.

Kaoru sighed from one corner of the room as he gathered his things to leave. There wasn't much left to clean and it looked like Hikaru was going to be sticking around for a while to help Haruhi. Oh well, it looked like he would be going home alone today...again. He left the room unnoticed to wait at the entrance for his limo to arrive.

Back in the third music room, Hikaru and Haruhi had just finished collecting the used dishes. Some one would be in later to wash them, but Haruhi still wanted to get a few of them done so as not to leave so much work for who ever came to do it. Hikaru looked around the third music room, he couldn't see Kaoru any where.

"Hey Haruhi, did you see where Kaoru went?" He asked.

"No, maybe you should ask Tamaki, or Kyouya," Haruhi responded. "Maybe they sent him to do something."

"Your brother left thirty minutes ago," Kyouya responded, not looking up from his laptop.

"Okay. Thanks," Hikaru turned to see Haruhi already finished with the dishes and getting ready to leave. He walked over to her and picked up one of her books. "Do you want a ride home?"

"No, I can walk," She said.

"I'll walk with you then."

"That's okay, I can walk home by myself."
Just then Tamaki popped out of now where behind them after hearing just part of their conversation.

"I can not allow my precious daughter to walk home alone," Tamaki said dramatically. "Who knows what perverts are out there lurking around. But since you insist, I will walk you home myself."

"The only pervert lurking around there would be you my lord," Hikaru muttered loud enough for him to hear.

"What did you say?"

Haruhi rolled her eyes as the two began to argue and picked up her book bag before proceeding to exit the third music room. When the hell had she insisted that either one of them walk her home? She was perfectly capable of walking home alone. She was no more than a few feet from the entrance of the school before she heard two voices calling her.

"Haruhi, wait for me!" Both voices said. She continued walking and soon enough they caught up with her. With a boy walking on either side of her, still arguing over her head, she went home to her apartment to cook dinner before her father came home from work.

(The Twin's Room)

After arguing with Tamaki and walking Haruhi home, Hikaru had called for a driver to pick him up in front of her apartment. Tamaki had done the same. He walked up the stairs of their large mansion and once at the top, went down the hall way to their room. He found Kaoru sitting on the bed with a magazine open on his lap. There were about three more scattered on the floor next to the bed. Kaoru looked up from the magazine when he heard the door close shut and looked at his brother as he threw his jacket on the floor and went to their closet. When his brother didn't say any thing, he went back to reading the magazine. He had found it on his way home and featured a short background story on a new model by the name of Yumi Yamamoto. Kaoru had recognized the girl in the picture instantly as the Yumi he had met at the studio on Saturday morning. For some odd reason he found himself fascinated by her picture on the cover of Death Corpse (1), wearing a dark green dress with her neck showing two puncture (vampire) marks. Upon arriving home he had found some magazines on the coffee table in the living room, a few of them containing pictures of Yumi inside. He took them up to his room, his mother surely wouldn't mind if he borrowed them for a bit.

"Hey Kaoru, what are you doing?" Hikaru whispered into his ear. Startled, Kaoru dropped the magazine on the floor. He had been reading one of the articles and hadn't noticed when his brother jumped onto the bed, poking him on the leg, feeling completely ignored. Kaoru leaned over the bed and picked up the magazine, looking for the place he had left off.

"Hey, why did you leave so early?" Hikaru asked. "I was looking for you."

"You were busy helping Haruhi so I thought I should give you two some privacy," Kaoru responded. His brother looked up at him from where he lay on the bed. The younger brother had gone back to reading the magazine he had made him drop.

"Are you okay?" Hikaru asked him. He watched his brother close the magazine and put it on the nightstand.

"No, i'm not okay," He responded. "You've been spending a lot of time with Haruhi lately and the only time I get to spend with you is during the host club. But that's only because we have to, you run off as soon as it's over."

"Then why didn't you tell me this before?! I could have taken you with me when I took Haruhi out of Saturday."

"Look, i'm happy for you, but I just want to have some time with you too every once in a while and I don't want to feel like a third wheel."

"Okay, if it means that much to you then we'll go some place this weekend. Any where, you get to choose. Okay?"

"Okay."

(Saturday)

Hikaru and Kaoru walked side by side at the commoner mall early Saturday morning looking at all the shop windows as they passed by. Occasionally when some thing caught their eye they would go inside and look around.

"So what did mom want to talk to you about the other day?" Kaoru asked.

"Oh, I had almost forgotten about that," Hikaru leaned back and looked up at the lights. That probably wasn't going to be good for the eyes, but any ways, moving on. Their mother had called Hikaru into her office the night before to talk with him. Unfortunantly, Kaoru had already fallen asleep by the time his brother came to bed that night so he had yet to find out what had happened.

"I'm engaged," Hikaru said.

"What?!" Kaoru responded, startled. "How? To who?"

"I don't know," Hikaru sighed. "Some girl, the daughter of a rival fashion designs company. They think it will help the business some how." He shrugged and kicked an imaginary rock in front of him.

"What about Haruhi?"

"I don't know. Nothing I guess. It wouldn't make a difference, she doesn't even notice any thing." He sighed again. "Mom says we're meeting her next Friday."

"Don't worry Hikaru. We got rid of the last girl, i'm sure this one will be a snap."

"Thanks Kaoru," Hikaru responded pulling him into a hug.

"Welcome," He said as he returned the hug.

(That Friday)
They hurried down the stairs just as the door bell rang. It was time to meet Hikaru's fiancee. In the past week they had constructed a plan that was sure to make this girl want to cancel this whole arrangement and hopefully not do much damage for their mother's business. The front door of the mansion opened a thin middle-age women with dark brown hair wearing a navy blue suit, walked in. Behind her followed a petite girl in a short dark pink summer dress with heels a lighter shade of pink. Kaoru's eyes widened with shock as he realized who the girl was and in his head he wondered, why this had not dawned on him before.

"Hey Kaoru, you alright?" He heard Hikaru say.
He should have known.


1. Death Corpse, that I know of is not an actual magazine, but it is actually the name of a store in my area which I loves. Like Hottopic but slightly cheaper. So anyways, that's where that come from.
