Kaoru's POV

11 years ago…

"No, Mama! I don't want to be separated from Hikaru!" I whined, tears streaming down my cheeks as I clung to my twin with all my might. Hikaru cried as well and we just all in all made a pretty big fuss in the Hitachiin residence. Our mother just sighed and looked over at our dad with a somehow desperate look.

You want to know, what's wrong?

I'll tell you, what was wrong. Our parents wanted to part us for winter vacation. I didn't know when they came up with such a silly idea, but they still insisted. We refused with every cell of our body, of course, but it still seemed like we were fighting a losing argument there.

"Come on, Kaoru. Your dad wants to go to Greece and you hate it there, right?" Our mom said, since she knew I hated it there, but Hikaru loved it on the other hand.

"So I'll go whenever, you want to go with Kaoru!" Hikaru butted in, since he didn't really care if he got to go to Greece or not. He was there once, so he wouldn't mind not going there this vacation. We were still small, but we knew why they insisted to separate us so badly.

Our parents thought that we perhaps spent too much time with each other. They realized that their constant absence made us heavily dependent on each other and that we barely do anything alone as an individual. What did they expect? We're identical twins and there's not one person in the world who could distinguish us, so logically we would close ourselves in our little isolated world.

"Listen, I can only take one person to France to the fashion show with me. And you wanted always to see one badly, right? And Hikaru doesn't really like this kind of things, right?"

She keeps asking question we all already knew. We were six years old, true, but we weren't that stupid, mom. I felt Hikaru squeeze my hand and look at me with those big golden eyes. He and I knew how badly I always wanted to go t France with mom, but like this we were in a really sticky situation.

"Okay, I'll go with Papa to Greece," Hikaru suddenly agreed, closing his eyes in defeat. No! I started to cry more and hug me twin like my life depended on it. How could Hikaru say that! How could he give up so easily? We always got what we wanted. We were rich and spoiled children after all. We weren't used to things being against our wishes.

After one more hour of whining, we returned to our room, me still weeping my eyes out. Hikaru was still hugging me tightly and crying a little as well. I felt my body tremble. It was something I had never experienced before. I even started to sulk heavily, something I have never done in my life before. It was kinda gross if I'm honest.

"Come on, Kao. It's only two weeks. We can do it and then when we're home again, I'll bring along that good candy we bought there last time," Hikaru said, trying to cheer me up with a little crocked smile, since he had problems to be positive as well. I cuddled to him and buried my face into his chest as we both lied down and he covered our little bodies with the blanket which was neatly folded at the end of the bed.

"Everything will be fine, Kaoru," He said, stroking my hair with his tiny hand. Hikaru was an amazing older brother. I don't think I would have managed to be the older one. He always knows how to console me and make me smile. He knows what to do to make me calm down, to make me feel safe.

"Kaoru! Kaoru!" I heard a desperate voice call for me. Something kept shaking me, something kept calling for me. I would feel bad if I didn't respond. That was common courtesy, I knew that. I managed to open my eyes slightly to see an almost teary Yuki in front of me, still shaking me uncontrollably.

"Y-Yu-ki," I breathed out, feeling my head spin and my body feel limb. What was this feeling? Did I pass out in here? How late was it? Are the thunderstorm and the blizzard finally over? However, my senses registered another clashing sound and a loud thunder outside what followed by what seemed like lighting. What the hell was up with this messed up weather?

"I'll go and call Hikaru, okay?"

"No!" I cried out in weak voice. She blinked a few times in surprise. She was ready to leave, but my desperate voice kept her here. She couldn't go for Hikaru. I wouldn't allow it, no matter what. Hikaru was doing a very important thing. This could actually seal the deal that everything between the two of them will work out.

"Well, at least I'll get Kyoya-senpai, all right? Just wait here, I'll go for Kyoya-senpai," She said, repeating Kyoya's name to an almost annoying level. Yuki was assuring me that she would call Kyoya-senpai, only Kyoya-senpai. I nodded lightly and as she left my eyes closed again and I was enveloped by pure darkness.

"So how do you like it here so far, Kaoru?" Our mom asked, as she probably managed to see my grumpy expression. I was amazed by France. It was totally different from Tokyo. The day we arrived our mother took me straight to the Eiffel tower to admire the surroundings. I was speechless to say the least and even forgot my 'grief' for a moment, but the picture of Hikaru always popped into my head when I walked pass a store or anything which resembled glass, since when I saw my reflection, I thought of my twin as well.

"It's not bad…"

"Tomorrow's fashion show, so you better prepare yourself. It's nothing you have seen before. It's totally different from when you see it on TV, Kaoru," Our mom said, smiling at me widely. I smiled back, since I didn't want to make our mommy unhappy. Then I felt the wind pick up and shivered slightly at the sudden coldness. I looked up the sky and saw small snowflakes fall down. They were so white and so pure I felt my big golden orbs stare blankly at them in pure awe.

Then out mother's cell phone rang and she ran around the corner to pick it up. I now stood there alone and the child I was, the first thing I saw caught my attention. Of course, being the little kid I was, I immediately ran around exploring everything which came in my sight. It sucked being without my other half, but saying I wasn't astonished by the beauty of Paris would be a lie.

After awhile I got bored of all the things and turned around to tell me mom I wanted to go home, since it was getting colder and darker as well. However, as I turned, my mother was nowhere to be seen. I started to hyperventilate and my body started to heat up from the fear colliding in my veins.

"Mama?"

But no response came. I started to run around, desperate to find my mom, but I just couldn't seem to find her. All the European faces blended together and after short minutes all the faces looked exactly the same. The smooth skin and the high noses weren't really something I was used to back in Japan. I continued my search only to sigh in defeat approximately an hour after. Now I was sulking like a baby around a corner, still looking around for my mother.

And then it hit me. I should walk into a higher place to look for her! That was it. I couldn't believe I haven't had thought of that sooner. I looked around for a tower or anything and my sight caught a high building at the edge of the town. If I would climb just a little bit, I should see the town easier. I sprinted towards the building and suddenly realized I was running out of the city. Would it be safe to walk into a forest? No, I needed to find mom, so it didn't matter at this point.

After like 10 minutes of running I finally reached the building. I had to run up the hill where it was located a bit, but it would all be fine after I would find our mother. I climbed up, careful not to slip, since it was actually quite wet around it, since the snow melted and probably froze again. I was almost at the top, but then a chill blew at my face and my hand released the edge I was holding onto and…

I fell.

I felt my back hit on the hard ground, though the snow did soften my landing. My breathed was literally taken away as I gasped, since the impact pushed the air out of my lungs. Tears started to form in my eyes as I felt the pain going through my little fragile body. It was so painful, I could barely stand it. I don't know how long I have been lying there but sure enough it was pure torture. The ice cold snow penetrated my clothes and the wind blew heavily in my face and through my body. This wasn't a regular snowstorm anymore.

This was a blizzard.

"Kaoru!" I heard a distant yet familiar voice call for me. Again and again the worried almost panicked voice called, shaking my mind and body violently. What a relief.

I was finally found.

"Kaoru!"

My eyes flung open as I looked around in shock. Everything was white and for a second I actually thought I died. But of course I was only in the nurse office at our school. We had top doctors here from the Ootori branch, so bringing me to a hospital would be just a waste of time and money. I glanced at my side to see the whole Host Club gathered around my bed. I guess, the thundersnow, how Yuki called it, probably stopped.

"You're finally awake, my son!" Tono cried out, bringing me in for a bone crushing hug. I smiled at him, his silliness always brought a wide grin on my face. But Tamaki-senpai was soon ripped off of me by my twin.

"Kaoru!" He said, sobbing? He embraced me in his strong arms, enveloping me in a warm hug. Hikaru was here, my brother was really here with me. Tears made their way back up to my eyes, but this time it wasn't from the fear or pain.

It was from happiness.

REVIEW

A/N I'm like seriously dead, so I won't check the grammar and go to bed. And I hope it gave you a reasonable explanation from where Kaoru's fear from blizzards and snowstorms comes from and also why Hikaru doesn't know about it.
