Tamaki: The Ouran Host club welcomes you to chapter 6!

Akkadia: (pacing in front of the screen)

The Twins: what's wrong with her?

Kyoya: (Looks up from his laptop). The authoress is frustrated. She hates winter weather and the facts that work for her is scarce isn't helping either.

Hunny: She's also getting impatient for the next Takumi-kun Movie!

Hikaru: Hunny-senpai, you shouldn't have mentioned that!

Akkadia: (goes into her hamper whimpering)

Haruhi: Just great, who's going to do the disclaimer?

Akkadia: (opens her hamper) I DON'T' OWN THEM (starts crying).

Karou: Well that takes care of that. Also due to the authoress's depression this chapter is going to be suicidally short. So please cut her som slack.

Hikaru: Oh yeah and the authoress is going to throw in a sliver of twincest but nothing worth complaining or fawning over depending on what direction you like to go. So don't dis her please.

Tamaki: On with the fic!

Chapter 6: Dumbwaiters and dumb decisions.

Chilly. That was the first thought that popped into Hikaru's mind when he work up that morning. It was undeniably chilly. But how could that be? Whenever it was cold Hikaru would always share body heat with his twin. That's when the older Hitachiin realized his mirror image wasn't there.

Climbing out of the enormous bed, Hikaru pulled on his robe and went in search of his brother. He had glanced at the alarm cluck and started to wonder where Kaoru would go at 4:45 am. After searching every place he could think of the holder Hitachiin was about to give up and go back to bed. As he turned to head abck to his room, it hit him. There was one place Kaoru would go when they were younger whenever he was upset. Hikaru had his doubnts about it but it was his only other option.

By this time the sun was starting to rise so Hikaru was able to turn off his flashlight. Making his wa to the other end of the mansion, the older Hitaching stopped in front of a window sized door in the middle of the hallway. He pushed a button on the dial pad, opening the door. Sure enough Kaoru was sound asleep in the dumbwaiter having just enough space to curl up in it comfortably. Placing a hand on his look-a-like's shoulder Hikaru gently shook his twin wake. "Karou, hey Karou wake up buddy."

Kaoru groaned lightly as he felt a hand shake him awake. He opened his eyes to see he was curled up in the dumbwaiter. But wait, what the hell was he doing in the dumbwaiter? "Hikaru what happened what am I doing here?" He stopped out and stretched as well as he could with his left arm still in the sling.

Now it was Hikaru's turned to be surprised. "I woke up an hour go to find you gone and I figured this might be one of the places you might go. You dont' remember coming here?

Kaoru shook his head. "No I remember falling asleep just barely hearing u to tell me to take my uniform off. And I woke up in there."

Hikaru pulled his brother close to him when he noticed Karou was shivering. "Let's get you into something warm. You're freezing. It's a good thing it's sunday. We can sleep in if yhou want." He turned to look at the dumbwaiter. "I still don't see how you can find it comfortable in there."

Karou said nothing in return as he followed his twin back their room. Once he reached the room he looked longingly at the bathroom-more specifically their extra large bathtub." Hikaru can you help me?"

Hikaru followed his brother's gaze and smiled. "No problem Karou, come on." He led his twin into the bathroom and turned on the faucet. "Would you like me to get in with you?"

Karou turned to his twin. "You sure it won't seem too awkward? I mean we havent' done that since we were kids."

"Kaoru my clothes will get wet if I'm on the outside. Besides a bath sounds like a good idea. Also I highly doubt you have something I don't." Hikaru pointed out. He tested the temperature and made a few adjustment and added the bubble bath before helping Karou out of his slept in uniform and into the tub. He stripped himself of his own clothesing and stepped into the tub with his brother. "Is the water ok? I know you like it hot but."

Karou chuckled as he titled his head back to look at his twin before adjusting himself so he could rest his head on the side of the tub. "It's perfect Hikaru trust me." he stayed quiet for a few minutes enjoying the water before turning to is twin. "Can you wash my hair for me? I don't think I can with just one arm."

Hikaru was already reaching for the shampoo. He poured a small amount into his hand, sat behind his brother and began to massage it into his brother's redish orange hair. "After a bit he reached over and grabbed the extending shower head, "Ok lean back and let me rinse your hair out."

Karou did as he was told and titled his head back as his twin used the shower head to rinse his hair free of all suds and bubbles clinging to the strands. Once his hair was clean the younger Hitachiin closed his eyes and enjoyed the touch of his brother as he washed his back and shoulders. "Thanks Hikaru, you know for everything."

Hikaru pulled his twin closer and wrapped his arms around him from behind. "Of course Kaoru, you know you mean the world to me." he chuckled when Karou turned so he was sitting on his older brother's lap and nuzzled his head in the crook of his neck. The two of them stayed that way until the water started growing rather chilly. "I think it's best if we get out now Karou. Karou?" Hikaru glanced down to see Kaoru sound asleep. He chuckled lightly before lifting his look alike out of the tub, drying him off and putting a pair of boxers on him. Once he too was in decent sleeping attire he climbed under the covers with his twin. 'Oyasumi Karou." With that he closed his eyes and joined his brother in dream land.

"Onee-san, I don't understand! Why can't I go and visit the host club anymore?" Nayumi watched as her older brother who had nearly dragged her out of the school the day before pace around the room nearly causing smoke to rise up from the carpeted floor.

"Because that no good Hitachiin brat broke your hear and I still plan to make him pay for it." Kotaru tightened his hands into fists. "Until I do I don't want you associating with him or his twin brother. No one hurts my baby sister and gets away with it."

Nayumi walked up to her brother and took a hold of his hands. Onee-san please stop it. Hikaru didn't hurt me! I was a little upset when he rejected me Ill admit but what girl wouldn't be? But I'm over that really!"

Katoru looked down at his baby sister after taking his glass of water into his hand and draining the contents. "Nay-chan, you still like Hitachin kid don't you?"

Nayumi was taken aback by her brother's question. It should have been obvious. One's crush wasn't just brushed away that easily. "Well yes I suppose so but I'm bappy.I don't want to pull Hikaru and Kaoru apart. I'm happy just being their friend." she turned and made her way to her room. "I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm going over to Ryoko's." she stopped and turned face her brothers. "And Monday after school I am going to go to the host club and you can't stop me." As she walked out of the room she didn't notice the water glass in her brother's iron grip break in several shards.

"Get ready Hikaru Hitachiin. It's time you met your future wife."

The twins: Future wife?!!!

Haruhi: Wait I thought there was supposed to be something twincesty in this.

Akkadia: (in her hamper) I changed my mind that's going in next chapter!

Hunny: (perched on Mori's shoulders) Kadi-chan's pretty upset. Maybe some cake and reviews will cheer her up.

Renge: I think we shouldn't take any chances and try anything.

Kyoya: 3 reviews= chapter 7.
