Chapter three:

"No wait. Please I promise I won't say anything! You have to believe me!" Kaoru pleads feeling full on panic after hearing the gun.

"If you share anything with anyone we'll know." The leader tells Kaoru. "And we have many trained gun men. Take a look."

Kaoru swallows harshly then he glances around using all the will power he had to do so. He sees the other members holding an assortment of different kinds of guns and he looks away to the table feeling a drop of sweat drip down the back of his neck in fear.

"Good. Now then let's finish this shall we?" The leader questions and Kaoru nods.

"Y-yes sir."

The leader grins at this. "Good on you. We'll wrap this up with what you have to do then you can get back to your brother."

Later…..

Kaoru walks through the front doors with the maids closing it behind him. He glances around until he turns as Hikaru comes practically flying down the stairs. "Hika."

Hikaru skids to a stop in front of his brother. "You were gone for so long! You went so far! Were you still in the city?" He begins questioning and he looks his slightly younger brother for any injuries.

"I'm fine." Kaoru assures him.

Hikaru looks into his eyes and the few moments of silence starts to worry the younger twin. "Come." He takes Kaoru's hand and leads him to their room where he brings him to the bed. He lets go then climbs on. "Come on Kaoru." He says glancing back. "You're getting some sleep."

Kaoru nods and joins his brother on the bed in which they lay down and Hikaru pulls him close with his arms around him. He closes his eyes and he feels so relieved to be in his brothers arms that he could cry but he bites his tongue a little to stop himself from doing so. He was just scared that the phone call would be the last time he ever had contact with his brother.

"Rest." Hikaru tells him gently and kisses the top of his head.

Kaoru closes his eyes and he actually feels safe in which he finds himself drifting asleep figuring that the terror from before must have made him tired… Well that and that he's now home with his brother… He finds himself blinking awake and the room is dark but despite the fact that he is covered by the blanket he feels like a warmth is missing. He reaches out and finds that he is alone on the bed. He shifts pushing his torso up off the bed and he glances around but what catches his attention is that the door is open with a slight light flooding into the room away from the bed. He gets up throwing off the blanket and heads over to the door only listen in which he hears his brother speaking and he notices the light move slightly making him sure Hikaru must be using a flashlight… But why… To make sure he doesn't listen in or something? He stays quiet and out of the lights reach as he listens to what Hikaru.

"I don't know that's the thing. It's weird and I just don't understand… No… I'm sure… Right tomorrow…. Maybe we might be able to get somewhere… I don't want to leave him alone but I guess it can't be helped."

Kaoru blinks in confusion wondering who Hikaru is talking to and what they are talking to. His heart pounds as he worries that those that are forcing him to do some work for them are also going after Hikaru. He takes a quiet deep breath trying to reason that there is no way that could be true.

"So. How does around lunch sound to you? …. Great then I'll see you there."

At that moment Kaoru realizes that he's done and he quickly gets back into bed but only is able to be sitting under the blanket before Hikaru enters the room holding their flashlight.

They had gotten it just for the heck of it one day and it ended up sitting in Hikaru's nightstand drawer.

Hikaru keeps the flashlight down to not shine it in his brother's eyes but they can still mostly see each other. "oh hey. Sorry. How are you feeling?"

"Rested." Kaoru tells him. "Where'd you go?"

"Just outside. Don't worry." Hikaru makes it back to the bed and sits down on it. "Hey since you're up and well rested after good long hours of sleep…. I think it's time we talked…"

"Huh?" Kaoru tilts his head in curiosity trying to hide his worry. "About what?"

"Kaoru… I want you to answer honestly." Hikaru tells him looking down to the floor instead of at his brother. He lets out a small sigh before beginning what he wants to ask the other. "Are you… Are you doing more than just go out for walks."

Kaoru tenses suddenly glad that Hikaru isn't looking at him and as he tenses his head returns to its rightful angle. "Like what?"

There is a moment's pause.

"So there is more…"

"Wait Hikaru." Kaoru moves closer to his brother making himself relax before the other notices. "I'm just confused at what you think I could be doing is all." He reaches only half way to Hikaru's shoulders as he looks to his brother almost from the side. "That's all. What's going on?"

Hikaru lets out a heavy sigh. "I want you to be honest." He says. "Anything. Anything that isn't walking. What's going on Kaoru?"

Kaoru blinks and lowers his hand. "Hikaru... Don't you trust me when I say I was just out for a walk?"

"If it was a walk you went really far. It took you a bit to get back." Hikaru points out.

"I didn't realize how far I had walked until you called me and told me to come home." Kaoru tells him and he sits next to Hikaru with his legs hanging over the edge like his brother is. "Okay? Trust me. I know what I'm doing."

Hikaru falls silent.

"Hika?"

"Please… Don't… Don't call me that…."

Kaoru swears his heart stopped at this and he leans back a little.

Hikaru rubs his own face with a sigh before standing up refusing to face his brother. "Never mind. I need to go." He leaves with that and Kaoru sits there on the bed confused.

"W-What did I do wrong?" Kaoru wonders to himself as he just stares at the door to their room where he had watched Hikaru leave.

Elsewhere….

There is a heavy breath then someone raises a hand to their face as a few tears fall down their cheeks. "Disgusting…." The person lets out a few soft sobs. "It truly is isn't it? Please…. Forgive me for what I'm doing… It's for your own good."
