Chapter 2
She jerked up from her laying down position on the couch and looked around frantically. She then felt all over her quickly to make sure she was real. The light in the Host Club, she knew, was real. It was comforting.
"Haruhi, are you okay?" one of the girls in the room asked. A couple of guests looked at her in worry.
"Y-yeah. When did I go to sleep?" she asked.
"You seemed to be feeling unwell so we left you alone. When we came back, you were lying down asleep. Did you have a nightmare?"
"I suppose you could say that… everybody in here was… dead…"
The girls gasped, covering their mouths in surprise.
"Ladies, I'm very sorry, but I don't think I'm going to be very good company today. I'll be more suited to host you tomorrow, okay?"
"Oh… o…kay…" the girls said, quickly leaving her alone. They handed Kyoya some money and switched hosts for the day, sitting on a couch in front of Hikaru and Kaoru.
"Hikaru…" Kaoru said softly. Haruhi could see it in his eyes… that desperate look… all of his affection in that gaze. Hikaru's look was that of lust, capturing his twin's affection and need just in that one look. Then… he looked in her direction, staring at her blankly. She immediately hid, not sure as of why she did so. She saw Kaoru's face change. He was instantly hurt as though he had been shot in the chest. That look in his eyes… she didn't want to see it. She didn't want a repeat of that dream. The soulless eyes from the nightmare haunted her.
She lay back down, shielding her eyes from the light above with her arm. She wasn't going to go back to sleep. She had no plans to. She just had to think of a way to get through this, somehow. She had to talk to Kaoru.
