The Doll
Chapter 4
Hikaru
He couldn't breath. WHAT THE HECK? He had only heard rumors of places where men dressed as women but, this was amazing! He couldn't wait to tell the others, especially Tamaki, about his run in with a tavern of commoners cross-dressing. He imagined his 'Lord's' excited curiosity turning into a dull blank shock.
His "Lord' always had wanted to see the daily lives of commoners but never had a chance to seeing he's from a very prestigious family in the district. If this was to become his first impression, then he would have been scarred for life.
Soon after chuckling a little longer at the predicament, he regained his senses ready to finish his objective which was…to…?
"Uhm…Hikaru? Are you done? That is…" a familiar voice called not too far. He turned his head to spot his doppelganger and a very busty (which was questionable) man in a sparkly tacky dress. Kaoru rolled his eyes at him in amusement and at his typical-ness but the man-lady gave him an ugly glare.
"He may be pretty like you but his personality I cannot agree with…he is very rude…let us go in the back and ditch this awful person, shall we?" the man-lady whispered to Kaoru. Yet, Hikaru heard all the same and his lingering grin vanished once he saw his twin struggle.
Hikaru wasn't a violent person but at seeing his brother struggle and then to look at him helplessly, with eyes watering…eh?
"Hikaru we mustn't be separated!" The red head began reaching towards him, while tears ran freely down his face slowly at first before they started gaining speed.
Eh?
"Remember how we made that promise? We would always be together!" His voice rose with a few people from the bar turning over to stare at the scene. Why was his brother acting this way? He never acted like this unless…Hikaru then understood. "That one day…I keep it close to my heart. Why not you?!? Is it you who does not care?"
Ah.
The older twin began to get a little steamed, his own golden eyes glistening with emotions. Stamping his foot, he stared heatedly at Kaoru. "What are you talking about Kaoru!? Do I not care? Kaoru I would go to ends of the Earth if we are separated to be with you…so...don't you ever say I don't care! That promise is what kept us so close…"
More men turned, and a few who were already watching began tearing up at the soap opera playing before them. The man holding Kaoru, rather being embarrassed, began tearing up as well but too caught up in the moment to release his prey.
"Hikaru…do you really mean it? That no one will be in our way?" Kaoru sniffed becoming limp-ish in his captors arms and head tilting to the ground dramatically; looking the entire bit like someone who was weakened by emotion.
"Kaoru, it's more like nothing will be in our way! I will always come for you!" Hikaru began shouting. Every eye was on the scene now; the men at the bar, the men watching the show, and even performers stood still with anticipation at the drama before them.
Hikaru, inside, secretly grinned. His twin was quick at thinking, and for that they may get more than they expected. This charade they do, always win the hearts of their audience, mainly girls, old people, and older women. Yet this audience was the perfect place to do the charade. Not only will Kaoru be released from the other man's grasp, they might have a higher chance of getting their wheel fixed…and pushing their luck, maybe find a new driver!
So with a set determination, the show has to end for it has gone on far enough, it was time for them to bring down the house.
Kaoru
'Hikaru really is a bit slow.' The twin absent mindedly thought as he looked down to the floor, "heaving with emotion". He knew his twin was asking for trouble when he came in the place laughing. Kaoru expected it so he planned a scenario mentally in his head to where they can get out of this situation and back on the road.
Their performance always fooled people in to thinking there was a greater love going on between him and his twin. It surprisingly got them out of a load of trouble, ever since they were small, so they used it only when they knew they had an advantage or just for fun when they were with the other famous sons of top companies. Annoying their 'Lord' was the best fun they ever have with their performance.
Hikaru sent him a look saying 'let's end this' and he instantly understood. His brother, too felt the need to hurry. Although it was fun, they both wanted to get back on the road…. Besides, this place was beginning to become boring.
Which Kaoru then realized that Hikaru stubbornly left the carriage and the horses alone outside more than likely due to boredom…tsk! Yet he couldn't blame him. He and his brother cannot be bored for too long for they become crueler than they usually are and they know it. Their family knows it. Heck even their close friends know it.
Sighing, he wondered if they ever can change for the better, for they were almost of age to take over their family business…childish acts can be a falling factor.
On cue, Hikaru lifted his head after he sighed to gaze in his eyes. He knew Hikaru was wondering what's wrong through their telepathic stare but now wasn't the time.
"Hikaru…"he whispered with a rising blush.
"Kaoru..." his brother whispered back before the whole place erupted with sobs and applause. The man holding Kaoru let go and began clapping as well, reaching into where he was "busty" to pull out a tissue. Kaoru then righted himself and hugged his brother lazily. Yes he knew the show was done but not the act. Not until their carriage was fixed.
"I-I'm sorry. I would never, ever try to break up something as beautiful as that again. Could you two ever forgive little, ole me?" The man then blew his nose into the tissue snottily. Inside their heads the twins were both overcome with a deep disgust but smiled all the same.
"Of course," They harmonize, grins exactly alike, as they mirrored each others pose. "Anything for a beautiful lady such as yourself."
The man blushed at the compliment and then giggled which was actually kind of creepy. He then replaced the tissue, much to the twin's horror, back underneath his dress and smiled brightly at them.
"Well I have to repay you somehow…Is there anyway?" He asked clasping his hands.
Kaoru then turned to his twin, who blinked at him back. 'Excellent' they thought in unison.
"Well. We do sort of have a problem out front…"
Kyouya
As he reached the side of his house, his expectation of finding nothing was proven for that is exactly what he saw. Nothing.
His eyes narrowed at the large hedge he was once told to trim, but other than that nothing seemed weird about the scene in front of him. For Tamaki to come to the side of the house what reason would there be? Maybe there wasn't a reason and the girl really didn't see him go over?
"It really is a mystery maybe he—"Kyouya's thought that was just about to leave his lip halted, as he walked closer to the hedge. A white expensive suit was laid behind the hedge as if in an attempt to hide. He knew who the suit belonged to but the fact as to why it was there didn't add up. Why was it there?
"Souren!" Kyouya barked to a nearby body guard. A tall, brunette stepped forward to his master's command. "That suite belongs to Tamaki. Get the hounds but don't alarm the guest. I believe something happened to the birthday boy."
For no reason, if only to look up at the sky, he saw the open window and wanted to think nothing of it but it was there. What could it mean?
Was this a bad omen?
Meanwhile…
Haruhi
Her first impression towards this man was that he was an idiot.
For one thing, he didn't realize she was in trouble, and second he stares at her as if something is wrong with her face.
It wasn't that she didn't like it but it was very nerving. After that kiss to her knuckles, she almost swore her breathe stopped.
"I will escape with you."
It sounded so cheesy but he really sounded heartfelt and serious. She didn't want to focus on him yet somehow, he managed to hold her attention. This could be her first friend…or her second enemy. Her first enemy would always be Kyouya. He was always there and yet he did nothing. This man she just met and he is already doing everything. Haruhi wouldn't depend on him but she will take advantage of him.
The blonde had heaved her over the hedge to where she fell on the other side of the fence, before he joined her. Then after persuading her that a lady shouldn't walk in such great length without proper attire he offered her his back.
In which she thought he was really an idiot then.
"I'm not going to harm you, Madam. I just you really shouldn't ruin such lovely feet." He smiled reassuringly towards her as he squatted towards the ground. Sarcastically, she thought since when has her feet become lovely but she brushed the mean thought aside.
"A piggyback ride is it? I'm too big for such childish things, but I do thank you for the offer." Haruhi replied in a cold voice. Her arms were dead but she could still walk. Her pride was better than that and she didn't need a stranger to help her walk.
For all those years in the room she only depended on that one person to do something about her situation for maybe he could persuade the master to let her free but no…Kyouya, the master's son never did anything to help.
"I'm sorry, my lady but your legs are revealed an—"
"I'm alright and I would really like to leave this area." Haruhi all but interrupted. The man in front of her stared that nerving stare at her in which she looked away. What was his problem?
Haruhi walked ahead of the handsome blonde to observe the surroundings. A forest. Mother Nature was finally around her and she could finally breathe. Freedom was near by.
