Chapter Four :

The cafeteria was pretty much empty except for the lunch lady and a few other kids that were just finishing up. I spotted the two puffs of red hair I was looking for right away - they sat far away from everyone, off in a darkened corner sitting at a table and sulking. Sighing, I rubbed my forehead and slowly made my way over to them. How could I apologize? How could I explain?

"Uhm, Kaoru? Hikaru?" I approached them so that their backs were facing me.

They turned slowly to look at me, their faces both surprised and blank.

"Listen ... " I sighed, setting myself between the two and staring at the table nervously. "I wanted to apologize ... you guys are my friends ... even though you can be seriously annoying sometimes ... but I do like you two ... you shouldn't stop eating because of me ... " My face was flushed.

"Kyoko ... " They both sighed in sync, staring at my red face.

"Well, I forgive you," Hikaru sighed hesitantly, touching my slumped shoulder reassuringly.

"Me, too." Kaoru chidded, copying Hikaru.

I blinked. "Well that was easier than I thought it would be ... "

"Yeah, well, we like you to much to-"

"Hate you." Hikaru finished for Kaoru.

I blushed, looking at Kaoru's small smile.

"How about we just start over? Get a fresh start? ... How about you come with us to the beach tomorrow? The whole club is going," Kaoru sighed.

"Um ... " I blushed. It was more likely that it would be awkward between Kyouya, the twins and I. "Maybe, I'll have to think about it ... I might be busy ... "

"That's alright." Hikaru smiled at me.

"Humm..." I sighed.

They really were gentle. Unlike the other times I had talked to them. Underneath all their inner-devil ... they really weren't bad people once you got to know them. I eyed Kaoru and Hikaru suspiciously, kind of wondering if there was a catch. They blushed and looked away from my gaze; nah, I don't think they're gonna start anymore trouble ... at least I hope not.


After School :

I scribbled in my notebook to help fill the long, awkward silence between me and Kyouya. It has been this way since I made up with the twins. I guess he just doesn't like me anymore ...

"So, Kyoko ... " He started, leaning over the table and pushing his glasses up his nose.

I winced, his tone was rather bleak. "Yes?"

A hand shot out and caressed my cheek; I gasped. He smiled at me, and I wasn't sure if it was more of a mocking smile or a sincere smile, all I know is that in the next second, he was around the table and pulling me up so he could hold me to his chest firmly. "Kyoko," My name was like a purr as he whispered it into my ear, his breath hot on my neck.

Flushing, I pulled back to look him in the eye. "What's this about, Kyouya?"

"Nothing in particular ... " He smirked now, leaning so his face was only a few inches from mine.

He kissed me softly, his hands trying to travel down my stomach.

I pulled back and removed his hands from my waist. "I can't..."

He raised an eyebrow at me. "I don't think that's very fair."

"Well I don't care whether it's fair or not, Kyouya. I'm not ... going to ... you know ..." My face was burning.

Suddenly, I was spun around and shoved into the table. It hit my stomach and I yelped out in pain as Kyouya grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled on it, so that he leaned over my body, my butt pressing into his groin.

"I think you are, you owe me the trouble for chasing down Hikaru and bribing him with an all expenses payed vacation to Bali." He tongue shot out of his mouth and licked my neck.

"No ... Kyouya don't do this ... Stop!" Tears were swelling up in my eyes.

"Kyouya, let go of Kyoko." A rather firm and familiar voice said.

Both me and Kyouya froze, turning our gaze slowly to the left; it was Kaoru! When did he show up? "K-kaoru," I sighed of relief as Kyouya let me go and backed away.

"C'mere," Kaoru sighed, motioning for me to go by him.

I didn't dare look at Kyouya; I just shuffled my feet and was soon behind Kaoru.

"Don't you dare touch her again, ya got that?" He said it so like a threat, that it even had me shaking in my boots.

Kyouya glared evilly behind his glasses, but didn't say a word. He exited the room rather quickly, gathering his books and slamming the door shut behind me.

I gulped, face flushed as usual as Kaoru turned around to look at me.

"You okay?" His tone was gentler now.

"Uh..." I mumbled, feeling a sore spot on the back of my head from where Kyouya had tugged my hair. "Yeah, I think so. If you hadn't have shown up, who knows what would have happened." I smiled timidly up at him.

Gasping, I was pulled into Kaoru's chest, his long arms wrapped around my upper torso. "Be more careful okay? I don't know how me or Hikaru would be able to handle it." His voice was soft as he whispered in my ear.

Chagrin burned my cheeks a red hot as his grip on me tightened. "Okay,"

I think I may have just lost all of my sanity, because I leaned back so I could look him in the eye and stood on my toes so I could kiss him on the lips. What business did I have kissing him? After all he's done? But it just seemed like the right thing to do; I mean his feelings for me had become so evident that I just could no longer swallow down my own, either.

He gasped into our kiss, so I opened my eyes the tiniest to see his large, golden brown orbs wide with shock as my hands tangled in his mess of orange hair. Smiling, I pulled back and wiped my mouth.

What to say now? ... Is this love I'm feeling?


Yeah... this had a rough start and finish because I wrote each section on different days due to me being busy(more like lazy*cough*) ... Well there you go! Sorry for the late update; don't hate me! Enjoy~! You know what to do if you want chapter five up!
