"So it's a test of Courage?" Marsha asked as she sat with Haruhi in their classroom as the twins talked with them. "Yeah apparently Renge's idea." Kaoru said. "No wonder then." Haruhi mumbled. "Excuse me." Kazukiyo said coming up to them. "Yes." "May I please speak to the Fujioka's alone please?" he asked. "Sure." the girls said as they stood up and followed him into the hallway.
In the Hallway
"So you want to be on our team because you're afraid of being scared and put on the front page of the school newspaper?" Marsha asked. "Yes." "I don't see why not." Haruhi commented and Marsha nodded her head in agreement. "So we have five people on are team now?" the twins asked causing both Haruhi and Kazukiyo to jump. "Yes and if you two try and pull anything funny I will make sure you pay later." Marsha said.
Halloween Night
"Will you both shut up?" Marsha asked as they finished their ghost story, which thoroughly scared the class president. "But no one's come by yet and we're bored." they stated. "I am to but I don't go scaring my own teammates. Besides I said no funny business." she reminded.
They heard something clattering down the stairs and froze. Turning they saw a skull at the staircase right next to them. "Damn it those A team members are cheating." Hikaru said as he kicked the skull back up. "Nice shot." Haruhi commented when they heard the shuffle of feet and the rustle of cloth. Looking up they saw what looked to be a zombie walking down the staircase. Scaring everyone but Marsha thoroughly. Hikaru and Haruhi took off in one direction and Marsha, Kaoru, and Kazukiyo ran in another.
With Haruhi and Hikaru
They ran down the hallway and Haruhi tripped on something and they soon found themselves caught in a net. Looking at their position both blushed and avoided the others gaze.
With Marsha, Kaoru, and Kazukiyo
Kazukiyo soon ran out of sight leaving Marsha and Kaoru in the dust. "Okay Kaoru you can stop pulling me I can run on my own." Marsha said as she tripped another trap. This one was the same their twins were in with one other side affect.
Back to Haruhi and Hikaru
"This is a contest not a hunt." Hikaru groaned before realizing Kaoru was missing and began to thrash around. "Hikaru will you cut that out!" Haruhi yelled. "For a second you sounded like your sister for a moment." Hikaru commented as he stopped.
"Shut up." she said as she leaned over him. "What are you doing?" he asked her. "I'm getting us out of this net I know the position is awkward." "No it's alright really." he said as he turned a deep shade of red.
Back to Kaoru and Marsha
"Ow that hurts." Kaoru muttered before opening his eyes to see Marsha was caught underneath him and that they were hanging out of a window. "I thought this was a contest not a hunt." Kaoru mumbled unaware that Marsha's knuckles were turning white from gripping onto the rope. "Hey you okay?" Kaoru asked.
"Yeah... I'm fine." she squeaked. "Than opening your eyes shouldn't be a problem." Kaoru said. "No way." she mumbled. "Than something's wrong." "I'm fine!" she yelled opening her eyes realizing this she squeaked and shut them tight again. He wondered what was wrong then remembered they were hanging out of a window at least fifty feet off the ground. "Are you scared of heights?"
"No why would you say that?" "Oh I don't know your petrified right now so that's says something. Your not afraid of the dark that skull thing wasn't that scary more creepy really and I had to pull you away from the zombie thing. So heights." he answered. "Plus you froze when we were on top of that cliff at Kyouya's beach." he added as an after thought.
"Okay I'm afraid of heights. Just don't tell anybody." she pleaded. "I won't now keep your eyes closed if it scares you that much." "My eyes are closed." "Kaoru!" "Marsha!" Their counterparts called. "Hikaru! Haruhi!" Kaoru called. They ran to the window they were hanging out of. "How'd you get out there?" Hikaru asked. "I don't know just get us back inside!" Marsha yelled. Kaoru wasn't that surprised.
When they finally pulled them in Haruhi held her twin up as she calmed down. "Come on where's the last one?" Hikaru asked. "I don't know. Lets go looking." Kaoru said scooping Marsha up. She didn't complain just clung to him. He guessed this is what Haruhi was like in storms. "Hey look." Haruhi said pointing at a door that had some rocks in front of it. Hikaru began to move them out of the way and when he finally opened the door there teammate fell out. "Found him. Come on lets get going." Hikaru said.
The Next Day
"I can't believe this." Hikaru said as he looked at the front page of the paper. "I can." Marsha said with a smirk. "Of course you can you're the only one who wasn't scared." Haruhi said as they began walking away. Kaoru and Marsha slowed down their pace to let their twins talk. "So Marsha what's our next plan of action?" Kaoru asked. "I was thinking locking them in a room together. That usually causes anyone to confess their feelings if trapped with a crush." she said with a smile. "I like it." Kaoru said as they walked off.
Later that Day
"Hey where is everybody?" Hikaru asked as he and Haruhi walked into the clubroom. "Maybe we're early or something?" Haruhi suggested as they went to the back to change into today's cosplay. As they entered the room the door shut behind them before Kaoru and Marsha locked it.
"Huh how come we can't get out?" Hikaru asked as he jiggled the doorknob. "It's locked." Haruhi stated. "Well that's just great!" "Yeah well I'll raise you one better I just remembered that club was cancelled for today." Haruhi said. "Oh even better!" Hikaru yelled as Marsha and Kaoru smiled. They waited a full hour and nothing had happened as far as they could tell.
"What's taking them so long?" Hikaru asked. They'd each texted their siblings an hour ago and received the reply that said they'd be there in a soon. "I don't know. Maybe Kaoru went to get Marsha." "Maybe but it wouldn't take Kaoru this long to come find me." "You put a lot of faith in him don't you?" she asked. "Yeah well we've together since forever if you remember correctly." Hikaru reminded.
"Well if you remember correctly Marsha and I have been with each other since forever as well." "Yeah but your both recognized as your own person not as the same one." he added. "Maybe so but isn't that a good thing? I mean when you think about it if you and Kaoru broke apart from each other little by little wouldn't you become recognized as yourself easier?" "You have a point there but you make it sound simpler than you think it is."
Marsha stood up and pulled Kaoru to his feet. "Come on they forgot the other door." she whispered to him and he nodded. They went around the back and found Tamaki standing there. "Why's he here?" Kaoru asked. "I'll tell you later. In the mean time get read to record this." she said handing Kaoru a video camera. "Right." he said seeing Tamaki holding a camera.
Opening the camera and pressing record he focused his attention back on Hikaru and Haruhi. "So do you like someone?" Haruhi asked. "Yeah I do. She's smart, cute, she's kind of wimpy but she does have her own personal strength's. What about you?" Hikaru asked. The two inched closer and closer together as they each confessed their love in a different way.
"Yeah. He's smart and handsome. Sometimes he can be a total goof." Haruhi said as their hands brushed the others before their finger's intertwined. "So you think I'm handsome?" Hikaru asked turning to her. "You think I'm cute?" she asked as their faces inched closer before ending in a kiss.
A flash went off as Hikaru and Haruhi kissed. Kaoru knowing it wasn't him glared at Tamaki who was crouched stunned. Marsha and Kaoru ran down the corridor not wanting to get caught. "Wait what about Tono?" Kaoru asked as he stopped and she ran past grabbing his arm to continue running. "Collateral damage." she answered. When Marsha decided they were far enough away she collapsed with Kaoru against the wall. Once they caught there breath the burst into fits of laughter.
"Oh my god he forgot to turn off the flash." Kaoru laughed. "I know right. But it's a good thing I brought an extra camera." she said as she brought it out. "You planned this all out didn't you?" he asked her. "Totally. You think I'm going to let my sister's first love confession and kiss go unrecorded?" she asked him. "Good point." Kaoru said. "Great so the jobs done right?" "Oh totally. They're together now so as long as they don't figure out we've got this stuff we'll be fine." she said. "So what do we do now?" he asked. "Act like we didn't do any of this and go back to living our normal lives." she said. "Okay then well I guess we should go pretend that we just got here." Kaoru suggested and she nodded her head in agreement and began to walk away.
Why do I feel sad? Each thought as they made their way to the clubroom. The job is done so there's no reason to feel sad. Unless. They both stopped dead in their tracks with the same thought. I like him. I like her.
