My Nightians! How have you been? Doing good I hope?
I know you've all been waiting for this - at least I hope you have been :)
I really want to create a connection between all the characters. Deeper feelings and such, so I hope it won't bore you to much at least.
I just wanted you guys to know that if it wasn't for the reviews telling me how excited you are for me to continue I probably wouldn't haha. You guys are what makes me write :)
So thank you, my dear Nightians, for everything!
Now, enjoy this chapter called A Choice!
Kyoya
I think everything drained out of me at that moment. My emotions, my thoughts, everything. In my arms was no longer the girl I loved but… my little sister? I couldn't wrap my mind around that. She didn't look anything like my father. Hell, she didn't even look like any of us! Kisuru held more beauty than my own sister. I only hoped what father was spewing was a lie. Kisu couldn't have been my sister. It just didn't make sense!
Theoretically speaking, it does make sense. Your father got hot and bothered by her mother and… A led to B. B led to… I shuddered. My father was a sick freak.
"If this is true…" Kisu's voice didn't waver. She didn't falter either. A line of grim determination was set across her face. "Then why didn't you come and take me away from the man I had known as 'father'?"
"Your mother didn't tell me…" Father's voice almost sounded sad.
"Bullshit." Kisu jumped at the sound of her voice. There was such an edge to it that I could hardly believe it was her. I think she couldn't believe either. "Mama would have told me if someone like you was my father! You're hardly a man worth noting, but at least you were better than the man I did call father. Unless you raped her." I cut him daggers.
"I didn't rape her!" Mr. Otori sounded offended by what I was saying. "Your mother and I loved each other. More love then she ever felt for that pitiful man she was with in the end. If it wasn't for them arguing that night she would have never died! It's all his fault that my precious angel was taken from me."
"Shut up," my own voice rang clear. "Father, just shut the hell up! If you want to prove this to everyone you have a few choices. If she is your daughter, you will announce it in front of live TV, marking a claim to her. And 'honouring' her mother's passing. If she isn't, you will have nothing to do with her from now on. This will be decided on a DNA test. To which I will have one of my personal employed doctors take care of. I trust you have no objections?"
"Why does it have to be one of yours?" The disgust in my father's tone made my temper flare. Somehow I stomped it down, barely batting an eye at him.
"Because your doctor's will rig it. And I'm sure Kisuru doesn't want a Makoto doctor doing it. Kisuru, do I have your approval?" She nodded, the side of her head rubbing up against my chest. Was this really my little sister? After all this time, it's going to be Kisuru?
So many doubts were running through my head as I flipped open my cellphone, dialling the number for my doctor.
Hikaru
"Tamaki said he hasn't seen her either!" I think both Kaoru and I were going to snap. We had been phoning people all night trying to find Kisuru, but so far, we couldn't find her. On top of that, Kyoya wasn't answering his phone! So we were worried about the both of them. Kyoya was probably caught up in something with his father, as usual. But Kisu not being seen by anyone? She didn't have very many friends left here. Who else could she turn to?
"Do you think…" Kaoru sounded like he was going to cry. "Do you think Tsuneo got a hold of her?"
"Don't talk like that!" My eyes narrowed as I snapped at him. "If he was with her we would know. He would brag it up until we never heard the end of it!"
"He hasn't bothered us, Hikaru. Not since she left. He would have been here by now, you know that."
I frowned, rubbing my chin slowly. It was true. He hadn't shown up. Wasn't it all important he got her back? Or how ever the hell he wanted to say it. Kisuru wouldn't have gone back to him, I was sure of it. But what if he had simply found her? My stomach knotted uncomfortably. I took a few slow breathes, for I was sure I was going to throw up.
"Let's… go see him, Kaoru."
My twin looked at me, tears filling his eyes. "Hikaru… if Kisuru is there…"
I leaned over on our bed, hugging him close. "Shh, Kaoru. Don't do it. Don't place your mind in that situation. She'll be okay. She's our Kisuru, remember? She's always been our little Kisu." I let out a laugh, trying to sound confident. I think even Kaoru could see through my façade. "She's strong and brilliant. Beautiful and enchanting. Hypnotic and…" I pondered what kind of word could even fit Kisu's personality.
"Graceful. She was angelic almost…" Kaoru wasn't crying anymore. His eyes were far off in a daze. A smile touched my lips. Kaoru was thinking about Kisuru.
Kaoru was honestly perfect for her. We may have been twins but he was gentle. He knew how her feelings worked. He'd never hurt her before. I'd lost my temper one to many times. However, Kaoru could always calm her down and make her happy. He was always the one who could get a smile on her face no matter what her mood. Her eyes twinkled a little brighter whenever he was around. Even Kaoru seemed happier. In the end, I knew if it came down to us, I would lose out to my twin.
For some reason, that did not bother me as much as it should have. Maybe it was because I felt that I could out-do him? I wasn't sure. I knew that I loved Kisu, I knew that Kaoru also loved Kisu. How could I make the girl I love choose? That was… it was beyond cruel really. But even I…
Even I wouldn't choose myself. I would choose Kaoru in the end. Kaoru was kind and gentle. He knew what to say. He didn't get jealous or enraged. He was calm and collected. He didn't hide his feelings – at least not to her. Kaoru had probably already told Kisu he loved her. Meanwhile what did I do? I got mad at her for an engagement she didn't choose. I hit her because of it. Kaoru never hit her. Kaoru probably caressed her cheek lightly, telling her how stupid I was. Or how much he cared for her.
Was I going to lose out to Kaoru because I was so protective of her? I didn't want that. Kaoru and Kisu were my everything. Asking her to choose would not only tear her and I apart, but Kaoru and I as well.
How was this going to end?
