A/N: Since...people wanted the story to continueee! Of course it's not light hearted, nya. I sowwy. Maybe it'll get happier in the end. Forgive my grammar, spelling, and whatnot. e.e; WordPad doesn't have spell check, and I'm too lazy to spell check it. HA! Of course I own Ouran AND Fruits Basket! What, are you stupid? Nyaaa, don't own them or the charries, sowwy! I know, I know. It'd be so great if I did own them. Er...anyway. Thanks for the reviews and reads! Here's chapter two! I'll get chapter three up...soon...someday...maybe this weekend? Na, I never know...
"Kaoru...Kaoru...wake up." a voice mumbled, hand shaking the shoulder resting against his chest. Golden-brown hued eyes opened up, looking at the dark sky overhead. Jerking upright, the younger male rubbed his eyes, yawning and glancing over his shoulder. A blush tinted his fair skin, a respective smile earned from the other dove laying on the grass. A stiffled yawn as the other red head sat up, arm wrapping around his newly proclaimed love. "It's three in the morning."
"Three fourteen, Kyo." Kaoru corrected, looking at his watch and back up at the other. A smile as he looked at his cellphone, flipping it over as he looked over the two hundred even messages his brother had left him. The most recent one was two thirty eight. He gave up, maybe? Two hundred fifty four messages...that's...a lot. Well, it is Hikaru...Kyo took the phone away from him; Kaoru attempting to grab it and looking at it. "It's only Hikaru...he's probably worried sick...I should be going home, the-"
"I'll call him and say you're staying the night. We're not far from my house anyway, Kitten." Kyo cut in, winking at his 'boyfriend', who blushed harder at the pet name. Scrolling through his contacts, he looked at the one next to Hikaru's name. A heart, huh? Shrugging and dialing the number, he handed it to Kaoru, who in turn grabbed it quickly and cleared his throat. It was about to ring the second time when he heard it pick up, his brother's voice practically screaming at him.
"KAORU!? KAORU IS THAT YOU!?"
"No, it's just someone who looks exactly like you. Of course it's me...calm down Hikaru, I'm alright. I just fell asleep..." Kaoru explained, looking over at Kyo and mouthing a 'thanks a lot'. A kiss to the forehead and all Kaoru could hear was silence on the other line. "Hikaru...?"
"What was that noise?! Kaoru, who are you with right now? Where are you?! I'm coming right now, just tell me where you are. Alright?" Hikaru asked, voice stern and quite unlike him. Kaoru blinked, looking away from Kyo for the time being. Of course...Hikaru didn't know of his crush on their senpai. A hand brushed through his hair, moon lighting his face up as he worriedly glanced at the other. He couldn't possibly tell him... "Kaoru! Kaoru are you listening to me!?"
"Y-yeah...I heard you. No one, it's just...my shoes got stuck in something sticky," Kaoru lied, sighing. Real smooth...maybe he'll believe me? How else do you explain a kissing noise?! "and...I'm near the park. I'll meet you by the bridge."
Without a second notice, the other line went dead right after he told him where he would meet. Kyo stood up, offering a hand which Kaoru took, getting to his feet and brushing grass off his pants. The younger was immediately pulled into a hug, arms wrapping around his frame. "Kyo...I...he wouldn't...he wouldn't understand...there's only a world of us, Kyo. It's...hard to explain but...maybe some day. He's possessive, if he saw you..."
"He'll just have to see me, then. I'm not afraid of your brother. I can take him on." A determined look and the older let go, messing Kaoru's hair up playfully. A laugh and Kaoru went to turn around, pocketing cellphone. A hand grabbed at the other's wrist, Kyo suddenly dragging Kaoru to where he was to meet his brother. Eh?! Is he crazy!? He can't...Hikaru... A blush and Kaoru found himself stumbling alongside his supporting dove, smile on his face as he leaned against the bridge rail, Kaoru leaning on his shoulder. Kyo kept him close, watching from one side to wait for Hikaru.
"Kyo, he'll--Hikaru!" Kaoru let out, eyes widening as he saw his older brother dash forward. The first thing the elder Hitachiin saw was his dear brother, expression turning into a mix of jealousy and anger as he kept running, stopping and staring up at Kyo. Silence echoed as time slowed practically, the same eye color of Kaoru staring in hatred at Kyo. The older glared back, Kaoru frowning and looking from both of them. "Hikaru it's not--"
"Let go of my brother."
"And why should I?"
"I said let go."
"I'm afraid I can't do that." Kyo growled, lips curved into a frown as he held Kaoru even closer. What...is he ASKING to get hit by Hikaru or something?! Why...why is he even doing this? He should know better...Hikaru's too possessive of things... The younger Hitachiin actually tried to wriggle free, Hikaru making a grab to one of his brother's hands, face to face with Kyo as he held onto a hand identical to one of his own.
"He wants to be let go of. Let my brother go!" Hikaru hollered, Kyo looking down and finally releasing. The older of the twins never knew of Kyo's mere existance, seeing as he never paid much attentions to students at school. All he really paid attention to was the Host Club, of course. Who had time for other people? Obviously Kaoru did. "Kaoru who is he to you?! Do you even know him!?"
"Hikaru calm down...yes I know him! Just...just calm down!" Kaoru whispered frantically, looking at his brother in the eye. A frown and exasperated sigh, elder leaning on Kaoru's shoulder, arms wrapping around his twin. The younger blinked in confusion, looking from his brother to Kyo, who was currently avoiding eye contact from his boyfriend. This is a dream...this is all a dream...it's going too fast; so it must be a dream. A horrible one. "Hikaru..."
"You had me so worried you idiot. Why didn't you ever call?! I was so...so goddamn worried when you weren't there at school...when you weren't at the Host Club...everyone asked where you were; I tried to look for you but they stopped me from leaving...and when you weren't home..." Hikaru said quietly, grip tightening as Kaoru blushed ever so slightly. "Kaoru I thought...someone took you...you didn't answer my calls or anything...why?! Why, Kaoru?!"
"Hikaru...I'm sorry. Look, I'm fine; ne?" the younger offered, looking over at Kyo. A pang when he saw his boyfriend had left. Kyo...looks like you got your way, Hikaru. He felt...like a toy. Being played with by the other brother who was just bored. The pang took another blow to the dove, who was currently trapped in a cat's possession, being played with before tossed away after becoming a bore. A sigh and he looked at the sky. How early, considering it technically was the next day, was it? Truth was...Kaoru was sleepy. He'd have to hunt down his boyfriend the other day. "Kyo's gone."
"Gone? Good. He can't have you, Kaoru." Hikaru mumbled, Kaoru frowning and looking at the other. There he went, being possessive again. The younger twin pulled away, frown still in place. He wasn't a play thing. He was a brother, a twin, a friend. Not something someone toyed with just to help their boredom. Hikaru made a grab for Kaoru's shirt, pulling him in close; eyes demanding. "Why are you running? He's not allowed in the world of 'us'! It's not I, me, mine, or just one person. It's both of us! We, our, us...Kaoru you know this! Haruhi's only let in because she can tell us apart..."
"Why can't you let me be in lov--..."
"..." Silence. Kaoru looked away, Hikaru's grip on his brother's shirt loosened, the older brother staring at the younger. Had he begun to say what he thought...? "Kaoru...I thought I...we..." Voice trembled, hands clenching into fists. Hikaru hardly ever yelled at Kaoru, yet he...had to let it loose. "I thought we were the only ones in each other's worlds! I thought I was the only one!"
"Just let me go, Hikaru. You don't realize it...but you love someone else, too." Kaoru whispered, voice calm and serene as he stared at the other in the early morn. Doves were inside, yet a lone dove was trying to take another from some dove he did not know. That wasn't...suppose to occur. Kaoru loved his brother, he always had...yet Hikaru was too slow to realize it. Kaoru moved on...and he found someone else, who actually loved him back. A pang of guilt when Hikaru started to tremble, Kaoru unable to calm him down for he was at fault. "Hikaru..."
"Just go have your stupid fairytale with that piece of shit! I don't-...I...just go, then!" Hikaru hollered, turning around and running. The younger could tell the other was crying...it always happened when a love was cascaded. He wanted to run after, but after he felt the hand on his shoulder, he knew he couldn't. A head tilted upward to see his boyfriend, Kaoru immediately turning to hug the other. I just wanted Hikaru to be happy with Haruhi...
"He's your brother, Kaoru...you had to say what you had to say, right?" Kyo asked, arms around the other in a loving way. A nod and the younger still held on tightly. What could he do...when he had two doves in love with him? Had he been so blind? He couldn't possibly go home and face his brother...it would just end up in one of them running to leave the other be, to leave the other behind. Kaoru had pushed Hikaru forward at one point and stood behind. He realized that Hikaru just needed a shove...but obviously he was too stubborn.
'Just go have your stupid fairytale...'
Is it turning into a pumpkin already, Kyo...?
He was crying again. Fragile love broken, and Kaoru unable to pick up the pieces. Was he a fool? Or was he selfish for chosing someone he hardly knew...over someone he knew for his entire life? A sigh and Kyo kissed the younger's forehead, wiping his tears and telling him that he loved him, that he was there for him. A supporting dove never left, and Kaoru could see it. Why had he thought he ran from him when Hikaru was talking to him? Maybe he wasn't looking clearly and reading between the lines. Kyo was in the background, waiting to comfort the other. A fire inside was let out, explosive and burning to the younger who had to indure the hit.
Kaoru wouldn't let go. He wouldn't let the carriage turn into a pumpkin.
Not yet.
Not ever.
