"Hikaru…" He whispered, feeling tears in his eyes. He sat the dinner down and quickly walked away. How could he be mad at me? We're brothers, after all…twins… He felt a single tear run down his face and he wiped it away. He then froze, because Remi was sitting on the couch staring at him.
"Kaoru? What's wrong?" Too late. She had seen it.
"He's mad at me." Kaoru said sullenly.
"Why is he mad at you?" She asked, tilting her head.
"I don't know. Probably because I kind of sided with you." He flopped down on the couch next to her, noticing she was doing her homework. "Need some help?"
"A little. I kind of dozed off in class." She said, her cheeks tinted.
He laughed. "Hikaru and I sometimes…did that." His voice trailed off.
She put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, he'll get over it soon. I'm sure you guys will be back together in no time." Remi said with an encouraging smile.
Truth be told, Hikaru did not get over it soon. In fact, he made Kaoru sleep in a different bedroom, which made it hard for his younger sibling to sleep. He also completely ignored Kaoru, even in the host club. It went on for several days, and many of the girls were confused as to why Hikaru and Kaoru were separated. Because they were not doing their act, Kaoru had no idea what to do. He would just stare out the window blankly sometimes, not even trying to talk to the customers. He felt too shy around them without Hikaru leading the act.
"I just don't understand…" He would say helplessly to Yuuki, his head buried in his arms. She felt awful, because she knew she was the one who had started the fight in the first place. She chided herself consistently those days for being too quick to be irritated. She also tried to make it up to Kaoru frequently by doing his homework for him the days he was to upset to do it. Also, she would sometimes find him on the couch, snoring quietly. She would always cover him with a blanket.
One day, he tried to confront Hikaru during the Host Club. "I don't know what you're talking about." Hikaru had said bitterly when accused of ignoring Kaoru. When Tamaki stepped in to try and open Hikaru up "And besides, even if I was, it's not my fault. He's the one who wouldn't agree with me." He snapped.
"Hikaru…" Kaoru's eyes filled with tears. "I don't want to fight anymore!!" He yelled, then fled. Everyone was silent, occasionally casting glances at Hikaru, who had a blank, distant look in his eyes. No one saw Kaoru after that…
Yuuki's POV
I didn't see him until I was about to go to sleep. He was in the hallway, next to his door, completely passed out. I nearly kicked him to make sure he was alive, but then fetched a pillow from the couch. I felt better once he curled himself around it, whimpering slightly. That was when I really realized how lonely and upset he was. It broke my heart. That was when I decided to confront Hikaru.
It was during the Host Club the next day. Kaoru was very quiet, and didn't speak to anyone, not even me. The club hadn't started yet, so I figured it was time to make my move.
"Hikaru. I need to talk to you outside." I said, staring directly at him. He looked at me with an irritated glare, but followed. We walked a ways away from the door, and it felt like hours passed. My heart was pounding. I was so nervous…I let my hair fall in my face as I turned to face him. I stared at the floor.
"So what is it? What do you want?" He snapped, seeming impatient.
"I wanted to talk about Kaoru." I said calmly.
He didn't speak for a few seconds. "What about him?"
"Please…" And then I found myself staring directly at him. I knew I had a pleading look in my eyes. "Please don't be mad at him anymore! It's not his fault, it's mine. I started that stupid argument. Even if I was right, Kaoru probably just felt bad for me or something. Don't be mad at him, be mad at me." My voice quivered. He didn't say anything, so I went on.
"He's lonely without you…he misses you so much! I know you can see it. I know you miss him too. You two belong together, don't let me get in the way. Please, I couldn't bear to see him suffer because I was a jerk. I'm sorry for arguing with you…please…please don't let me get in the way of you two." I said, my voice trailing off at the end. With that, I turned and sprinted away. Out the building and into the courtyard. I felt so embarrassed! He probably wouldn't even listen to me… I slowed to a walk and allowed my breathing to even out. It was a beautiful courtyard…flowers were blooming everywhere, and the trees were a lush green.
I found myself leaning against the trunk of a cherry blossom tree, breathing in the scent of flowers, grass…the earth. I sighed in content, but didn't feel it. I felt like I was made up of absolute turmoil. I knew I'd have to go back, otherwise I'd piss Kyouya off. I remained in my position for several minutes, letting my head hit my arms that were on my knees. Then, I heard the clatter of footsteps…
I looked up, surprised to see that Haruhi was running towards me.
"Haruhi?" I asked curiously. I quickly stood up.
"Hey Yuuki! Everyone's looking for you!" She called. I sighed and began to walk towards her.
"Let's go back then." I said happily, pretending nothing bad had happened. She turned around and walked beside me. We were quiet for a few moments before she spoke.
"I overheard what you said to Hikaru." I sucked in a breath, a little surprised she was one to eavesdrop. "I think that was really brave of you." She turned to gave a small, encouraging smile. I stopped.
"Thank you…but I'm really embarrassed, actually. I don't know how I can face either of them tonight! Argh…" I said, my hands in fists.
"How about you come spend the night at my house? I know it's a school night, but my dad won't mind!" Haruhi offered.
I stared at her for a moment, and then I grinned. "Haruhi you're a saint! I'd love to. I can drive us to the twin's house to pick my stuff up and then drive us to your house.
"Okay, it'll be fun…kind of like a sleepover…I guess." She said with a light chuckle. We walked the rest of the way in silence. It was comfortable, but I couldn't help but be nervous. Once we reached the doors, she looked at me.
"You ready?"
"….No." I sighed, but pushed open the door anyways. Everyone had been chattering away, but it became very quiet. I bowed my head and kept my eyes to the ground.
"Ahh my precious daughter is back!" Tamaki cooed. He quickly came over and lifted me into a hug, twirling me around. I couldn't help but giggle a little.
"Please…put me down?"
"But…daddy just wanted to say hi to his little girl!" He protested. She wiggled out of his grasp and took a few steps back.
"I'll…uh…go make sure all the cakes are here." I said awkwardly, excusing myself into the kitchen. No one tried to stop me, so I just went on ahead.
I sat in there a few minutes before I heard the door open and close. I turned around to see one of the twins….
End Chapter. xD
Kaoru gave her a small smile as he came up beside her. Yuki instantly felt relieved, and her shoulders relaxed.
"Yuki…Thank you. Thank you so much." He said, facing her.
"Your welcome…but what for?"
"For getting Hikaru to forgive me. That was so nice of you. I owe you."
"I'm glad you guys are good again. How'd he apologize?"
Explanation?
Hikaru came back into the room very quiet. He immediately went to the window and looked out it with a blank expression.
"…Hikaru?" Kaoru asked, coming up behind him. His twin turned and grabbed his wrist, proceeding to drag him out into the hallway. Kaoru didn't say a word until they got far away from the door. Hikaru let go of his hand and turned away. "Is something wrong?" Kaoru asked softly.
"Kaoru…I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I've been ignoring you all this time. I hope you can forgive me…." Hikaru said softly. "I can't believe I let that argument get to me like that…it was so stupid…" He muttered. To his surprise, Kaoru wrapped his arms around his brother and didn't say anything. Hikaru turned and hugged his brother back, feeling tears in his eyes.
End Explanation.
"I see. That's sweet." Yuki said, smiling softly. "Oh by the way, I'm staying at Haruhi's house tonight."
"Why?" Kaoru asked curiously. "Me and Hikaru wanna come!" He said eagerly.
"No no…I'm going because I'd like to cool off a bit. I'm sure Hikaru will appreciate it too." She said quickly.
"Awww…"He pouted a little."Oh well! We're going to have a party soon anyways. The Host Club is going to the beach! I haven't said anything to Hikaru, but I thought it'd be fun….will you help me bring it up?" He chirped.
"Well I-"
"GREAT!" He said excitedly, grabbing her wrist. He tugged her out of the kitchen, and she couldn't help but laugh. Everyone had stopped talking, and turned around to peer curiously at them. That was when they realized that the host club had opened.
"Opps…" Kaoru muttered, sweat dropping. Most of the girls giggled, and it proceeded normally.

"So…do we have any matters to discuss?" Kyouya asked, sitting back in a couch.
"Actually, Yuuki wanted to ask you something!" Kaoru said, elbowing her.
"Oh right…uhh…well I thought it would be kind of fun if we…I don't know.." She scratched the back of her head. "Kaoru wants to go to the beach in the Bahamas!" She blurted out.
"A TRIP TO THE BEACH?!" Tamaki gasped. "That'll be AWESOME!"
"I wanna come!" Honey said, bouncing up and down.
"I suppose it would be okay." Kyouya muttered.
"HOORAY!" Kaoru and Tamaki yelled.
"Do I have to go?" Haruhi asked in a tired voice.
"You most certainly do!!" Yuuki piped up, giving the girl a meaningful glare.
"Alright!! Haruhi you can sleep with me!" Tamaki chirped.
Hikaru, who was the quietest, stiffened.
"No way, senpai."
"Pervert~" Kaoru laughed. "Man, this is going to be fun
Review ? I know this is short but I gave it to you as a replacement for last week when I was sick…sorry x.x
Plus I don't have much left. I still have to write the rest…Neh…
-_-
Give me some suggestions of what to write about! I'll use them! :D
Let me just go ahead and tell you, I want Hikaru and Yuuki to become very close, but I also have a trip planned for them and I want to use that soon…so tell me how they can bond quickly? :D
Or I could just skip a couple of months and say they got closer…but that wouldn't be any fun now would it??
SEND IN YOUR SUGGESTIONS~ 3
