Kaoru's POV

Haru was ignoring me; I knew he was it only proved to my mind that he was in fact cheating on me. I wanted to talk to him in a rational manner, but my anger kept getting in the way. I thought that maybe I could even forgive him, if he would just admit it, that was if he wanted my forgiveness, maybe he didn't and that was why he was ignoring me.

I shook my head, trying to clear my thought so I could focus on what my professor was saying, but it was impossible, my mind kept wondering back to Haru and that silver haired bastard hugging. He had hugged my Haru! Who, the hell, did he think he was?

After my class let out, I exited swiftly, looking for Kaoru, because he was meant to be waiting for me, but he wasn't there...He wasn't anywhere and I slowly realized that I had been stood up by my twin.

I made the short walk back to our apartment, frowning the whole way. I trudged inside the living room, over to the lounge, sat down and waited for Hikaru to come home.

About an hour, after I got home I heard someone attempt to open the front door, but the chain stopped him or her, I then heard knocking. I got up to let Hikaru into our apartment, momentarily wondering why I should. 'He should have had some punishment for standing my up,' my brain whinnied, but I undid the chain lock anyway.

He came in smiling, in a way I had never seen him smile before, apparently whatever he was doing made him a hell of a lot happier than spending time with me.

"Where were you?" I pouted at him. "I looked for you for almost an hour!"

He looked at me with a fallen face, probably surprised, because I had shouted the second part.

"I was hungry," he mumbled frowning at me. He looked like was debating whether or not to tell me something and this only served to fuel my anger. "I ran into Yuki and he was hungry too, so we went to get something to eat."

"Yuki, as in the cousin of the guy who cheated on me?" I snarled, more than angry now.

"You don't know that he cheated on you," my brother stated calmly. "Yuki said that Hikaru told him that he hasn't been cheating."

"Well if Yuki said so then it must be true," I huffed sarcastically. "Why are you even talking to Yuki? You didn't want anything to do with him when Haru and were fine, and now all this crap is going on and all of a sudden you're interested...I mean, what the hell?"

"I've liked him for the past six months!" he shouted in my face. "Ever since that date, ever since the first time I saw him!"

"What! Why did you act that way then?" I asked my eyes narrowed at him. "Why did you say you didn't want to dance with him? Why have you not seen him again in the past six months?" My voice was quiet by the end of it, my anger beginning to subside.

"I don't know, I guess, maybe, because his Haru's cousin and I didn't want to like Haru's cousin or Haru," he said softly. "I also didn't want you to think your match making worked."

I was beginning to feel bad, remembering the smile he had worn when he had first come in and I started to think of how selfish I was being. I apologized to my brother and he went to his bedroom saying that he was tired and wanted to lie down, which was probably true, I myself was feeling rather exhausted.

It was almost another hour later, I was about to start diner, even though I was not that hungry and doubted Hikaru was either, when there was a knock at the door.

I walked over, peering through the peephole at Haru.

"What do you want?" I asked him through the door, I felt exhausted and sad. I wished that I hadn't drag Hikaru to the movies that night. I wished that I had listened to him when he said that he wanted to stay home that night, but I hadn't. I dragged him out of the house, because I was worried about him and the fact that he hadn't left the house for anything but school in a long time, though I guess I knew why now.

"I want to explain what happened," came his voice from the other side of the door. I sighed and undid the chain and lock on the doorknob to open the door.

"Explain now, and please make it good," I said bitterly, inside I repeated those words but in a more pleading tone.

"Can I come in?" he asked after a moment of silence, probably realizing that I had no intentions of asking him to come in. I nodded yes and he came inside and went straight to the lounge, I redid the locks before following him.

"It's not what you think," he stated when I sat down, as far away from him as could. "His name is Ayami, his Yuki's older brother, his in town he wanted to talk about Christmas plans."

I wanted desperately to believe him, but well, Yuki had never mentioned a brother, neither of them mentioned any relative being in town and that still didn't explain the hug. The doubt in him was still there and I couldn't ignore it, so I voiced my concerns.

"Yuki never told me he had a brother, and neither of you said he was in town, why didn't you introduce us while he was in town if he's your cousin?" I asked quietly, hating myself for putting me in a situation where someone could hurt me so badly. "You never hug Yuki, so why were hugging his brother?"

"Yuki and Aya don't get along, he doesn't even know he's in town, he wanted me to talk Yuki into coming to our other cousin, Shigure's house for Christmas," he explained, but I knew that the doubt wouldn't settle until this was proven the truth. "As for the hug...Well that's just Ayami."

All I did was nod and I could see the hurt in his eyes, he knew I did not believe him, but I couldn't help it.

"Do have plans for Christmas?" he asked and I shook my head. "Why don't you spend it with my family, and Hikaru is more than welcome to join if he wishes to."

I gave him a little smile and nodded my head, because there was no way I was going to pass up this offer.

A/N: So did you like it? I'll be posting the Christmas chapter sometime between now and Christmas I hope, do you have any ideas for what should happen? If you do, can you let me know what they are because I don't have any. I'm not sure if Torhu is going to be in it though.
