I've just been released from the hell hole I'd like to call exam room and enjoying my life so far. And I just got my results from my first test..meh, whatever, that's old news, I never studied during that time anyway so I flunked most of them.

But I think I did quite well this time, hopefully my grades would improve because laziness is a part of me you know? Anyways, here's a little chapter for Kyouya with a little hint of Kaoru in it. I got some compliments from my english teacher regarding the essay I handed to her, now I'm in a chipper mood.


Hitachiin mansion, later that night...

"What do you mean you're cutting all ties with him? Hunny-senpai, he's your cousin, you don't just cut ties with him just because you're mad with each other, I'm sure things will work out. No, I don't approve it. This is why I said it's a bad idea! Hunny-senpai..." Kaoru sighs out as he hears the little blonde rant on the other side of the phone. He had heard of the entire fight from Hikaru and was severely shocked to know what had become of the powerful duo. Just then, Hikaru came in with a glass of water and Kaoru brought the phone closer as Hunny continues to ramble.

"Look, Hikaru's here, I'll talk to you soon. Yes, yes, I thank you for trying to restore my honor but that's not the right way. Fine, I'll tell you what the right way is on Monday. Goodbye Hunny-senpai," with a grumble, Kaoru snaps the phone shut and chucks it away from him in exasperation. Hikaru can only give him an amused chuckle.

"Hunny-senpai told you about how he tried to fight Rokurou-sensei?" Hikaru says out as he places the glass on the night stand. Kaoru nods his head solemnly, a little disturbed to hear that his two seniors are fighting because of Osamu. How he wishes Osamu would never came and he could still have fun with everyone during club hours. Toying with Haruhi, teasing Tamaki, poking innocent fun with Kyouya. Those are what Kaoru need right now, not resting in bed after another coughing bout.

Looking up into his twin's eye, Hikaru quickly understood what he needs and grabs the glass of water before gently placing them at Kaoru's lips. The younger twin sips daintily, wetting his dry and rough throat as much as he can before pulling away. He feels horrible; the whole world seems to have crumbled at his feet and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Hey," Hikaru's voice snaps him from his reverie and Kaoru looks up to stare into a pair of calm and protective amber pools. "Don't think this is your fault. I'd prefer you to stay at home rather than being with that man in school. I figure that if you are to stay here, he couldn't molest you and I can keep my adorable, beautiful baby brother all to myself," Hikaru hums lovingly and pulls Kaoru into a tight hug. He then proceeds to kiss Kaoru repeatedly on the forehead until Kaoru mewled like a child.

"Hikaru..." Kaoru whines out, but he still weaves his arm around his brother's neck without even realizing it. The two inseparable twins gently rocks each other until Kaoru felt the sleepiness seep into his body. Hikaru gently lowers his brother and pulls the blanket up, encasing him in a warm cocoon before retreating to his study desk.

Ootori mansion, same night...

Kyouya quietly does his homework on his coffee table knowing full well Akito is watching him from the sidelines. Kyouya felt like slapping his brother for stalking his life, friends and grades just to ensure he doesn't surpass Yuuichi, but he knew he couldn't do that given their age. Akito is still his brother, no matter how annoying he is.

Secretly pulling a sheet of paper concerning Osamu's information, Kyouya bit the tip of his pen as if making him look like he's thinking up of a solution to whatever homework he's doing. Sensing Akito no longer watching him, Kyouya re-read the entire data and slips them back between his books. It's time to talk to Yuuichi.

Making his way down the stairs, he could see his eldest brother reading the newspaper casually. Seeing no other person in the living room, Kyouya sat on the opposite couch and pulls out a magazine from the coffee table. He could see Yuuichi staring at him from behind those glasses, the air in the room suddenly electrifies and went up a few degrees higher.

"Yuuichi-niisan, I have a little question to ask you, I hope you wouldn't mind answering it," Kyouya drawls out slowly and fixing his gaze on the magazine. He doesn't need Yuuichi to find out what he's up to. Yuuichi lowers the papers to gaze at Kyouya sharply and level him a serious look.

"What is it?" he finally asks. Kyouya smirk inwardly, he knew Yuuichi would feel egoistic; he is the eldest son after all. And it's a good brush on his ego to find his youngest brother curious about some things and turn to him for help. Too easy.

"Ouran just had a new teacher, Rokurou Osamu and the chairman's been curious about him. Seeing how I keep most of the students' and teachers' information with me, he wants my help to find Rokurou-sensei's. Unfortunately I couldn't get it due to a special restriction in the program made by father. I'm curious, father and the chairman are rivals so father would certainly have all the information the chairman has, but not this one, why is that so? And it's even restricted to the chairman," Kyouya says, his gaze finally falling on to his brother.

Yuuichi didn't know his father installed something like that in Ouran's mainframe. But he guessed that it did happen when Osamu was on his road to become a teacher, his father sealed every possible information about him in every school's database in order not to let that incident resurface.

Of course, the entire story was a lie, but how else would Kyouya be able to extract information about Osamu if he doesn't twist his words a little? Kyouya could see Yuuichi tense a little and could hear his breath a little ragged. A clear sign Osamu isn't an ordinary commoner.

"He's not someone you should even be involved with. That annoying, sorry excuse of a human shall always be a disgrace to the Ootori family name," Yuuichi growls out angrily. Kyouya merely quirks a brow, wanting to know more. At first Yuuichi was a little skeptical on telling him, but what can a high school boy could do with the information? Plus, he's the third child, father would never even think of it.

"Rokurou-san's younger sister, Sayuri was once a patient in one of our hospitals, she had cancer. One fateful day, a doctor of ours accidentally got her medications wrong; she ended up in the ICU for months. Rokurou-san was furious and sued the hospital and bring our family name to shame. The entire country know about it and our business faltered for a while until father got things straightened out again," Yuuichi explains, clearly not hiding his discomfort about the whole story.

"And what happened to Sayuri-san? How come I've never heard of this?" Kyouya asks in his most curious tone he could muster. Spending some time with 'innocent', 'curious' Kaoru sure helps him brush his acting skills.

"Sayuri-san is fine; she got transferred to a hospital in London where the specialist will take care of her. We're not going to be held responsible for anything anymore, and we don't have to argue with that stupid lawyer of his. Plus, it happened when you were still too young to know about the world," Yuuichi answers back leisurely.

What an unbelievable stroke of luck..., Kyouya muses darkly. Just listening to his brother's story about Osamu makes his blood boil. No one does that to the Ootori family and gets away with it, even if it happened in his diapers, Kyouya doesn't give a damn about things like those. Mock the Ootori and your name will be on the wanted blacklist for eternity.

"You can just ignore the notion of getting his data in your hands; father's locked everything about him. Not even I can convince him to unlock it," with that, Yuuichi ignores Kyouya and returns his attention to the newspaper.

Placing the magazine back under the coffee table, Kyouya too heads back to his room, passing Akito on the way up. His older brother didn't say anything, only watching him with curiosity until he heard the distinct click of his little brother's door locking, only then he went down to sit on the same couch as Kyouya and watching Yuuichi intently.

"That was an incident we shouldn't speak of aniki, why did you tell him that? You heard father's orders, you broke it," Akito says hollowly. He actually respects Yuuichi for being elder, but there are times he wonder why Yuuichi does something that their father doesn't want them to do. Is it because his ego? Or he underestimates Kyouya?

"He's smart, that I can give him. But he's still too young of a seedling to really know what to do with that information. Unless father gave him an order, he's not to do anything," Yuuichi says as he level his younger brother a sharp look. Normally that works on Akito, he'll never continue to say anything else and bows his head, but different with Kyouya. Kyouya would meet his gaze unflinchingly, waiting for the next move.

From afar, Yoshio grins at his two sons' conversation. How ignorant, just because Kyouya's the third son and the youngest child, doesn't mean he's going to let him have an easy life. If only Yuuichi and Akito were to realize that, they should see what a threat Kyouya really is to them. Yuuichi's too egoistic, thinking he'll truly be the heir to the Ootori name and Akito's not one for challenge and trying to stop Kyouya's growth through every means possible. But Kyouya is smarter than the both of them combined, which is why Yoshio has high hopes for him.

Kyouya spends his Saturday morning trudging through the hallways of the hospital where he made no motion to stop anytime for anyone until he gets into the document room where they keep a whole profile of their patients. He had researched about Sayuri and found out she was in Airikawa City Hospital a few years ago until that incident happened and she was transferred out.

Airikawa City Hospital is one of the Ootori's most prestigious hospitals with the most deluxe treatment to their patients. If only what happened didn't happen, the hospital's name wouldn't be as tarnished as now and people would still want to get treatment here. Although, his father's done a great job and things seem to be as busy as before. The doctor's been sent off too for his clumsiness.

"Good morning young master Ootori," a young nurse calls out to him as he muses the hospital's fate. Kyouya snaps out of his daze to look at her. Young, probably mid-twenties and her chocolate brown hair tied into a neat bun with white nurse dress on her. Her equally chocolate brown eyes looking at him curiously. "Is there something I can assist you with?"

"I need you to help me find an information about a girl with cancer here before, her name is Rokurou Sayuri, transferred to London after the medication accident," Kyouya explains. He could see realization dawning on the girl's face and she nods her head.

"My senpai told me about the story. It was a tragic time for the young master's family. Perhaps my senpai can help you with that; the ordeal went back years ago so her profile would probably be in the archives," the nurse said as she leads him to the pediatrician ward. As soon as they arrive, she told him to stay put as she calls her senior.

"Jyutta-senpai, young master Ootori here wants to go through the archives," she said. The doctor, Jyutta, nods in understanding and sends her off to her work. His green eyes are as equally sharp as Kyouya's, to which the younger boy doesn't flinch or even look away. To Jyutta, he's impressed that the young master's grown up quite well, and he knows why Kyouya wants to see the archive.

"Young master, it's surprising to see you wanting to see the archive, whatever do you need?" Jyutta asks formally, though Kyouya knows he already knew. Jyutta was appointed by his father after all, which means he had been given the information about Osamu.

You're always a step ahead, father, Kyouya thought with a dark amusement. Keeping the thought at bay, Kyouya offers his best host smile to Dr. Jyutta and suppress his dark emotions that're running wild inside of him. "I just need to gather a little information my father needs regarding a certain patient of his," Kyouya says. Jyutta didn't say anything, merely leading him to the archive room.

"I'm curious as to what your father wants, normally he'd just send me to do the work, but now he sent you, young master. It must be big," Jyutta says to fire up the conversation. Walking in silence is fine, but he doesn't really know about the third son, and he has always been curious of him.

"It's nothing of concern," Kyouya replies smoothly. "He just wants to go through some special cases specially only for the Ootori family, and when it's for the Ootori family, it's only for the Ootori family, you know that much don't you?" Kyouya gave the man a sly look promising of mischief. Jyutta made sure he doesn't let anything slip from his body language.

"But of course, your father's orders are law after all," he says. The two have a bit to chuckle before finally reaching the archive room. "Here we are young master, the archive room. Now, who is it that you want to search for?"

"Rokurou Sayuri," Kyouya deadpans. He doesn't want to waste the time forging up more lies since Jyutta already knows. And he also doesn't want to waste time playing 20 questions with him. Jyutta was about to ask him 'why' but one look from the boy silenced him completely. He leads the boy inside and went deeper in towards the cancer archives. Once there, he pulls out the selected document and hands it to Kyouya.

"My thanks, do keep this a secret from my aniki, the last thing I need is for him to mess up my father's plans," Kyouya says, his eyes glinting from the lamps above but yet it gave the man an eerie feeling, as if a demon is hiding within the high school boy and is ready to jump out at him.

"Of course, I shall keep this a secret from all your family members. What happened here stays here," Jyutta answers wisely. Kyouya grins and excuses himself without another word. As soon as his footsteps disappear from hearing range, Jyutta exhales raggedly. How can one boy be so scary? None of his siblings are ever like that except him.

Interesting boy, Yohio-san sure is lucky to have him, Jyutta thought with mirth. He then walks out the room and locks it before returning to his office. It's time for Yoshio to know that his plan is slowly but surely being underway.

Hikaru seethes like an angry cat as he listens to his brother talk leisurely with Kyouya on the phone. He really wants to yank that thing away. But it's rude. But it's Kyouya. Still, it's rude. Having these thoughts in his head made Hikaru growl and clench his fists tightly until they turn white.

"Really Kyouya-senpai? You found a jackpot to send Osamu away?" Kaoru squeals out happily from his gameboy. The younger twin recovered from his sickness last night and Hikaru had been overjoyed, but he still doesn't want Kaoru to go to school until Osamu left for good to which Kaoru admonished him. Missing classes is bad enough, but to flunk in his exams is even worse, and Hikaru's not one of the most reliable tutor either.

So now he's talking to Kyouya regarding some good news he's heard in days. "I can assure you that yes; I will be sending Rokurou-sensei away very soon. You probably could come to school on Monday with ease," Kyouya says on the other side of the line.

"Thank you Kyouya-senpai. Really, thank you! I don't know what I'd do without your help in matters like this," Kaoru laughs out happily, a beautiful blush covering his cheeks and making his pale skin glow. Hikaru's breath was caught in his throat when he sees the scene but he didn't say anything.

"I do this for you, Kaoru. I know how miserable you are. So do come back to school with your mischievousness as usual will you?" Kyouya chuckles out which in turn made Kaoru chuckle as well. Hikaru, who heard everything, made some gagging noises but remains listening to their conversation, getting more and more curious as it drags on.

"I will, did you tell Hunny-senpai, Mori-senpai and the others about this?" Kaoru says as the blush deepens and he twiddles with his long bangs. Hikaru twitches when he sees his brother displaying such actions. Only girls do that, yet when Kaoru does that, it doesn't look disturbing at all, no. For some weird reason, it fits him.

"Not yet, but I will, I'm sure Hunny-senpai would be thrilled to hear it too, and Haruhi as well." Kyouya says. Kaoru made a noise of agreement and they both cut off their connection after saying goodbye to each other.

"You're seriously getting close to that demon lord," Hikaru says with a blank look on his face. Kaoru merely scrunches his face in distaste and turns on his gameboy.

"He's not that bad actually. He'll help when you really need it, but just don't bother him with silly things and you'll be fine," Kaoru says without looking at his twin. Hikaru didn't say anything, only watching his brother play his game contently.

In one of Airikawa City Hospital's office, Kyouya muses over his phone call with Kaoru with a smile, it's not everyday he can get to do simple things like this for the sweet Hitachiin twin, and when he has the chance, he'd do it with all his heart. Outside the room stood Yoshio who was listening to his son's conversation.

He doesn't want to question his son's sexuality, but the Hitachiin family is quite powerful and if Kyouya were to create a special bond with them, it'll be wonderful news to him.

Just one more, Kyouya. One more and you definitely will own the title, Yoshio thought before leaving among the crowd of doctors.


I managed to make this longer! Yes! But with the constant flu I had a couple of days ago; no it's still here, clogging my nose and my neurones for me to think clearly, it kind of messes with this chapter a little. I had to re-read and edit it a couple of times.

Oh yeah, the hospital Kyouya went to is COMPLETELY MADE UP, take note of this. Actually it exists, I just changed the name (sadly, I forgot its real name), like how Bisco-sensei changed Kyouya's laptop from being an apple to a pineapple. Hah, I still lol'd at that even to this day.

So, I hope you enjoyed it.
