He was going to kill him…

Needless to say, Hikaru wasn't in the best mood for the rest of the day. After having to actually take the mockingly heavy elephant sculpture to cover up what he could so he could walk downstairs and find suitable attire for school, lets just say if you even dared to talk to Hikaru the first few hours into that Thursday morning you obviously didn't care for your well being. Worst part for him, was despite the evil smirks he always caught Kaoru giving him, he had no serious proof of what his twin did.

He was going to kill him…

"You know I would never doubt you Hikaru," Tamaki began, watching said teen mercilessly jot down ideas with an expression that just screamed; demon. "but is what Kaoru did really that bad that you would want to do THIS to him? He is your brother after all."

"Don't remind me." He growled.

"It was truly that bad?" The scared blonde rephrased.

"Oh, I don't know." Hikaru started off with bitter sarcasm. "Why don't you go ask the 3 maids I traumatized this morning!"

"Okay, okay." He let the fuming boy cool down for a few moments before saying. "Are you sure about this?"

"Positive… Are you gonna help me or not?" Hikaru demanded. Tamaki quickly nodded, afraid of his reaction if he were to say 'no'.

Kaoru was feeling good. Hikaru had been sending him daggers all day, and he didn't care to tell him it only boosted his confidence. There was no reason for him to be worrying about the payback he would be receiving… just yet. Hikaru wasn't nearly smart enough to pull together a decent prank in less than 12 hours. Plus, he'd always shown signs of taking much more time executing them,

It was with this thought that Kaoru stepped into his bathroom on light feet and turned on the warm bath water. Not that today had been stressful, not at all. It was merely the factor that Kaoru believed he had deserved some sort of reward for the success he had reached, other than the humor from his brother's reaction.

In the past, Kaoru had very well wondered if he had been underestimating his twin this whole time. But Hikaru had given proof in the form of examples that his twin was much more simple minded than he. He had no doubt in his mind that Hikaru felt the exact opposite. But he was sure that it was only used to soothe the aching embarrassment of having his younger rival be more intelligent than him.

The water was warm and inviting as it completely engulfed him up to his collar bone. And Kaoru let a content 'mmmm' of approval. Yes. This was nice. For once in a pretty long while he let all the evil thoughts of his brother out of his mind, totally forgot about him completely. In that moment, he didn't even have a sibling, it was just him. He left his thoughts blank, save for the occasional happy memory or two of him and his friends.

All too soon, he felt the dangerous feeling of himself dozing off from the heat radiating out of the warm waters, and decided to get out of the tub. Realizing that he didn't even bother to get his hair wet, he quickly dried off his body and pulled on some boxers while draping the towel over his shoulder. There was no clock in sight, so Kaoru didn't know the time. His mind nagged at him, reminding that had he still had an important math assignment due tomorrow, so he decided to go out of his own little sanctuary and check his alarm clock.

The first thing he noticed registered a little too late when he put the first foot out of the bathroom; It was eerily quiet. And then by the second step, whoosh. He never thought he could fly… but wait, was that even possible? Soon he realized it wasn't when his backside was hit by the cold hard floor. But then… why was it so sticky? Kaoru's face morphed into one of disgust when his hand ran across the floor and picked up a big glop of maple syrup.

"What the hell?!"

"And… cut!" Someone yelled on the other side of the room. Kaoru's jaw dropped as he looked toward the voice, and now laughter to see his twin doubled over on the floor as well, except he was clean. To the right of him was Tamaki holding a video camera. His worried face went back and forth between him, and his brother.

"Hikaru?! Tamaki?!" He demanded, they both looked at him again. "What the hell?!" He repeated.

"Great job Kaoru. I never thought you were that good of a performer. You got that? Didn't you milord?" Hikaru referred to Tamaki, who now just looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Uh… yeah… and now that my job is done, I'd better get going. See you!" He said the last bit quickly and darted out the room, camera in hand. Hikaru just chuckled and smirked evilly back at his little brother.

"Hikaru…" Kaoru hissed. He slowly got to his feet, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were showing a death glare, straight at Hikaru.

"Hey! Good you can stand, I would have had to do some explaining if you broke something to-" He was cut off when he had to dodge his brother lunging at him with his hands in claw form in front of him. Hikaru cackled. "You're gonna have to be faster than that to catch me!" With that statement he bolted out the front door of Kaoru's bedroom, his little brother following close behind.

Normally, the twins were equally fast runners. But urged on by his anger Kaoru was able to go a little faster. Just fast enough to catch him right at the top of the stairs, sending them both tumbling together towards the lower floor.

Thump.

They both hit the floor together. Kaoru groaned, and tried to move but it was too painful. That hurt much more than he had anticipated, if he knew that, then he probably would have waited to tackle his brother when he actually got to the bottom of the stairs. His lungs felt tight and confined, almost as if he couldn't breathe… but wait… that was because someone was laying on him! He tried to push his twin off of him but he found that Hikaru's body was trapping his arms as well. But the really alarming part was; he couldn't move his mouth, because something was covering it.

Both twins registered the lip lock at the same time, and screamed in horror into each others mouths as Hikaru scrambled off his brother. Each Hitachiin sat upright and stared at each other in shock for a moment before standing up simultaneously and running in the opposite direction.

-With Hikaru-

He ran, and ran, and ran. He didn't stop until he got to a dead end, and sat down in the darkest corner he could find. 'What the hell just happened?!' He screamed at himself in his head. He tried to tell himself it wasn't his fault, it wasn't his fault. But something was irritating him in the back of his mind, not allowing himself to truly believe what he oh so desperately wanted to believe. It was then, Hikaru realized that if he ever thought about something like this happening before, he would have been sure he would be vomiting this moment. But no, he didn't even make a move to wipe his face. Could it be possible that he enjoyed it? As soon as the possibility ran through his mind he had to put his hand over his mouth to keep his scream of terror muffled. NO WAY! He despised his twin! There was no way in hell! He knew he was gay, but incestuous?! But then again… he didn't think he thought the experience was bad. No! No! The kiss was over too soon for him to even get a good look at the situation anyway.

Little did he know, that very twin he was thinking about was living in the same denial.

--

The next day neither twin would even look at each other. Not that they didn't do that anyway at school, but today was crucially different. Everyone could feel the tension in each class both twins were in. When they weren't within 100 feet of each other, people could still tell their tension, by looking at the fact that both were trying to be overly cheery with everybody else. By lunchtime, Tamaki, Kyoya, and Kasanoda chose to draw the line and cornered Hikaru during lunch.

"Alright Hikaru what is up with you?" Kasanoda demanded.

"Yeah! What happened after I left?!" Tamaki questioned, Hikaru began to fidget nervously.

"Nothing! You guys are just being idiots!" He defended, Kyoya pushed up his glasses and glared at the red headed teen.

"You're lying."

"Just tell us!" All three of them said in unison.

"I… I-I…"

-Later with Kaoru-

He was walking with Haruhi after Hunny and Mori had just left for their martial arts class when they saw someone running towards them.

"Kaoru? Do you know who that girl is?" Haruhi asked, Kaoru stared at her more profoundly now.

"I think so. It's one of Hikaru's girls… just ignore her then." He stated blankly. Haruhi listened to his advice and kept walking away from the girl but overtime she caught up with them and blocked their path. Kaoru glared at her. "What do you want?" He almost growled, she glared right back at him, and soon Kaoru felt a stinging pain in his left cheek.

"Hey!" Haruhi yelled.

"What the hell was that for?!" Kaoru demanded at the girl who had slapped him. She only glared harder at him.

"You know what that was for you perverted asshole!" She yelled back at him. Kaoru's eyes widened.

"What are you talking about?!"

"How dare you kiss your own brother?! Poor Hikaru didn't even know what was happening until you had pinned him down! Well… you can't hide your incestuous ways from anyone now! The whole school knows!" Kaoru's stomach dropped down to his pelvis. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No! He watched the girl with horrified run off after she finished her rant. And Haruhi turned to him, looking just as stunned as she was.

"Is that true Kaoru?"

"No! No! Haruhi its not true! He kissed me!" He defended. The girl arched an eyebrow.

"So you did kiss."

"No!… Yes, well… sort of." He contradicted. Haruhi bit her lip, as she thought of different ways to fix her friend's problem. No solutions she could think of could completely recover the situation. So instead;

"Kaoru, I think the best thing for you to do right now is go talk to Hikaru." She said. "Okay?"

Kaoru nodded in reply, and turned around on his feet to go running the other way to look for his brother. He soon found him walking with his bag. The eldest glared at the younger as the other growled at his twin with bared teeth. Kaoru gripped onto Hikaru's arm and started pulling him to the nearest door. People sent him stares, some of disgust, some of anger, some were snickering. As he shoved Hikaru into another room he yelled. "Fuck off!" And slammed the door shut, now turning to face his twin. "You jackass! Why would you do that?!" He demanded of his brother.

"What? It wasn't like I was going to say I did it." Hikaru shot back.

"Why couldn't you have just kept your mouth shut?! Only for once?! Now the whole school thinks I'm some sort of homosexual sex offender!"

"Poor Kaoru, that's the whole point don't you see?" Hikaru chuckled. Kaoru growled and stormed towards his brother, pushing him backwards by the shoulders.

"No. I think its YOU who doesn't get the point! You're the pervert! Not me!"

Hikaru glared at him. "At least I don't go around kissing my brother!"

"What the hell are you talking about?! You kissed me!" Kaoru yelled.

"No! You kissed me!"

"No! You!"

"No! You!"

"No! You!"

Suddenly, Hikaru's hand flew out to grab Kaoru's shirt collar. Kaoru braced himself to be thrown across the room. He truly thought in those few moments that a violent fist fight was going to break loose. Even though the twins seemed to hate each other, all of their fights before had been verbal. Would this change things? Kaoru thought so, but instead he felt himself being pulled towards his brother, and soon felt the familiar texture of his twin's lips against his own. They were kissing… again? Except, this time it wasn't an accident.
