I was sitting on a branch of a tree, using a butter knife to carve a small branch into a knife.
I held it up to my face. "Hmm, think this can go through someone's heart?"
"Hikaru he's a human, not a vampire, of course it will." Kaoru said. "Hikaru come down, you've been up there for twenty minutes, mom's probably worried about us?"
"No, I'm not coming down, just leave me alone." I huffed.
Mei ran up to us. "There you guys are…. Hikaru, what are you doing in a tree?"
"Planning my suicide, which one sounds better? Jumping off this tree and landing on my head, or use my jacket to hang myself with?"
"Hikaru, you're over reacting." Kaoru said.
I glared at him. "No I'm not, you've never been in love, so you shouldn't talk."
"Well actually."
"Never!"
Kaoru sighed and rubbed his temples, he felt a headache coming on.
"God please help me now." He said.
We heard laughing, I looked down and saw the Cody's. I groaned.
The Cody's looked at us.
"Holy smokes." Kody said.
"What's wrong?" Cody asked.
"Uh…" Mei and Kaoru looked at each other.
The Cody's looked at them confused.
"You know what, Hikaru just found that he signed up for a phone plan that doesn't have texting." Kaoru said.
"Yah, three years." Mei said.
The Cody's gasped.
"Oh, you should've asked me." Cody said.
Kaoru looked confused.
"Yah, Cody knows the best phone plans." Kody said.
"I do, but Kody knows the best places to get frozen yogurt anywhere."
Kody nodded.
"So let me get something straight, one of you guys fill in what the other one doesn't know?"
The Cody's smiled and nodded.
Kaoru put on a fake smile. "That's pretty fantastic."
The Cody's continued to smile.
"Well, if we need frozen yogurt, we'll call you then."
The Cody's nodded and walked away.
Kaoru walked back to the tree and looked up at me. "Hikaru, come on get down already, I want to go home."
"No, I'm never coming down." I grumbled.
Kaoru looked at Mei.
Mei sighed. "Ok, I'm on it."
Mei walked away for a bit. I was about to ask where she went, but then something hard hit me on the back and pushed me out of the tree. I fell to the ground with a thud, I glared up at the tree and saw Mei standing in the tree.
"Mei what the hell?!"
"What? You wouldn't get out of the tree." She said, she then hopped out of the tree.
I sat up and rubbed my left arm.
"So why is Haruhi marrying Tamaki, didn't they break up two years ago and she started going out with you?"
"Yah they did, but we don't know what's happening either." Kaou said.
I got up, I looked back over to the restaurant and saw Tamaki and Haruhi sitting together. He had his arm around Haruhi and she had her head on his shoulder.
Tears started burning my eyes again. "Kaoru."
He stopped talking to Mei and looked at me. "Yah?"
"Let's go home, I'm tired."
Kaoru nodded and looked back at Mei. "We'll see you later Mei."
We then walked back to where our mom was.
It was later that evening and Kaoru and I were at our parents' house, we were sitting on the couch drinking grape juice in wine glasses.
"I still can't believe Tamaki's dating Haruhi. What does she see in him anyways?" I took a sip of my drink.
"His face, I hate him, but you gotta agree that he's handsome." Kaoru said.
I scoffed. "We're a lot better looking than him."
"I heard it was a business transaction." Our dad said.
We jumped at our dad's voice, Kaoru started choking on his drink.
"Wait a business transaction?" I asked. "Did you hear something at brunch?"
"I really shouldn't say anything." He said.
Kaoru handed him his drink. "Have a drink dad."
Dad took his drink.
I gave him a cute smile. "Daddy?"
"Well three months ago the Souh's bought the apartment complex that Haruhi and her father live in."
"What?" Kaoru said in shock.
"Well the old owner ran through her third husband's money and was having trouble finding number four." Dad said.
I nodded. "Gold digging is a young person's game."
"And the Souh family is loaded and when they heard that the complex was for sale, so they bought it. Yuzure decided to raise rent and the Fujioka's couldn't afford it. Haruhi had to get a job, but that still wasn't enough. Haruhi and her father were about to get evicted from their apartment, but Yuzure made a deal with them. If Haruhi married Tamaki, he wouldn't throw them out of their apartment. So Haruhi said yes, so her father and her wouldn't live on the streets." Dad said.
"Honey, help me with this design please." Mom yelled from her home office.
Dad got up and gave Kaoru back his drink. "Well I better go help your mother before she gets angry." He walked to her office.
"He's blackmailing her into marriage." I said in shock.
Kaoru snickered. "It's good to see traditional marriage is alive and well."
"That son of a bitch." I growled.
"That's an insult to bitches, and their sons." Kaoru took a sip of his drink.
"You know what, I'm totally over the wedding, yep, totally over it."
"You cried in the bathroom, didn't you?"
"So much, I literally made the bathroom underwater."
Kaoru grabbed the juice bottle. "Here take this." He poured some juice for me. "And I'll get some more for me." He poured more juice for him.
We were now in our room watching a movie.
"I mean, we were perfect for each other. Why did she have to take Mr. Souh's deal, she could of stayed with us." I said.
"What about her father? We may live in a penthouse, but I don't want to live with her father, no offence to him though." He took a sip of his drink.
"We could of bought him a house, and let him pay rent that he could afford. Like Haruhi and I were meant to be together, and now she's marrying Tamaki, my heart is going to be broken forever." I grabbed the remote and turned off the TV. "And all the romance movies are a lie, the couple stumbles around for two hours and miraculously five minutes before the credits roll, they realize they're meant to be together." I got up from the bed. "That's not how life works my brother."
"I know, that's why I'm still single." Kaoru said.
I picked up the empty juice bottle. "Exactly."
I started walking out of the room, Kaoru followed me, we walked downstairs to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and took out another bottle of juice, I opened it and poured some for us.
"Ugh, I could just kill him." I growled.
"In another dimension, I have a feeling you already did." Kaoru took a sip of his drink.
"I would freakin high five myself if I went to that dimension."
Kaoru got some food from the fridge and opened the containers. "I would too. Anyways, what are we going to do about you and Haruhi?"
"I say we go full bore SWAT team and break up Tamaki and Haruhi." I said.
"Ok, no more juice for you." Kaoru took my glass away.
"No I'm serious, right?" That's what Will Smith or Matt Damon or any of those less hotter than us action guys would've done. We sneak into the Souh's mansion, we bust stuff the hell up."
"What are we gonna do, disguise ourselves as German officers?" Kaoru joked.
I gave him a serious look. "Exactly."
Kaoru gave me a look. "I was joking."
"And I wasn't."
Kaoru chuckled. "All right. What the hell are you talking about?"
"I'm saying we wear the uniform of the enemy, groomsmen." I said with a slight smirk.
"He already has groomsmen."
"Ok, then two of them 'have a little accident.' Kaoru, if anyone deserves to be knocked down a couple of pegs, it's Tamaki. I had one love in my life…."
"What about me?"
"The one thing I loved romantically in life, and Tamaki took it. Are you really gonna let him get away with that?" I said.
"Do you really think we can take down Tamaki? And do you think we can stop the wedding?" Kaoru asked.
"We can do anything. Why? Because we're sophisticated babes from New York. No we're not, but we're the Hitachiin twins and that's close enough."
Kaoru smiled. "Alright, I'm starting to like it." He handed me my drink. "Tamaki's going down."
I took my drink. "Yes."
Kaoru and I raised our glasses.
"The HItachiin brothers are back." Kaoru said.
"Yes."
"To love."
"To me."
"To defeat the Third Reich."
We laughed and clinked our glasses together and took a sip of our drinks.
Hey guys I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I just want you guys to be aware that I'm going to Georgia technically tomorrow for my cousins wedding, so I might not be able to post, but I will try to write on the plane, because my mom decided to be cheap and get us the cheapest flight, which has no TV or movie, tiny seats, and no food, yah it's going to be a boring flight. But I'll try to post, but don't get mad if I don't post, please F&R. Until next time.-HH1957
