--Late at night: Asakuro's House

KA-BAM.

"Where's the Hitachiin kid?" a gruff voice cried through the middle of the night. Asakuro stood up from her seat on the dinner table, and she gave them a confident stare.

"It's not the time now," Asakuro said, stepping towards the group of men that just barged in through the door. The navy blue haired woman crossed her arms. "You're not getting past me."

The man glared down at her with his black grim eyes, he pointed a gun at her. She only acknowledged the gun that was pointed at her. "We were given orders to take him now, dead or alive. If you don't get out of our way-" Another man dressed in black swiftly grabbed her arms. "We'll be forced to attack you."

Asakuro gave a sly smile, as she easily bashed away the man. "Oh really now? Last time I checked, I received full authorities from taicho (captain). Now…Black Squad-san…this is too rash…even though taicho ordered it." Her raven eyes shined as she looked up at them. "However, this is my territory, and I won't allow anyone to cross without my consent."

The man kept up the gun, and he smirked. "Tough talk for a woman. Are you hiding the Hitachiin?"

"Of course not." Her fingers brushed through the hem of her jacket folds, and she easily produced a remote. "Dare shoot? One press of this button, and you're locked in this house. The police will come running and you'll be caught with murder on your hands."

"Cheh."

"I need taicho to tell me himself the orders, I cannot believe anyone, even though they are the same part of the organization," she said, whisking out a cell phone. Holding out the remote in one hand and the cell phone in the other, she adequately dialed a number.

Her eyes shifted to the men while the ring buzzed in her ear.

"Hai, taicho?" Before she could launch a question, a murmuring interrupted her. Her raven eyes lost its confidence, as she was told the words that were spoken. "H-Hai…that soon? I-I understand, taicho."

"Gomenasai (I'm sorry), Asakuro-san. You are in charge of this project. But being attached to that boy would only hurt you, I really hope you would understand."

A small smirk came back onto her face. "I do understand. It just struck me that you would care about people's feelings."

"Dakara (Like a said), you are my most trusted member, is it wrong for me to be fond of you?"

Her smirk widened. "Of course, taicho. You are after all, my older brother. However, I will be taking custody of this mission. I don't expect you to do anything of it, taicho. Leave everything to me."

"I believe this is the time to end it, Asakuro-san. You may do that whenever you desire…just give the Black Squad the command and they will do it."

"Hai, taicho."

And she snapped the cell phone closed, and slid it back into her pockets. Asakuro turned towards the men. "I understand the current scenario, and you will not move from this living room." She placed the remote on the table. "Gani!"

A mew replied, and a sleek white cat slipped in through the windows hopping onto the table where the remote was.

"Watch them, press the button if they do anything drastic," Asakuro said, walking towards the hallways. She paused and added. "Tokoro de (By the way)…shut the door, kudasai. Wouldn't want anyone peering in, now do we?"

"Mreow," the cat yawned, placing a paw on the button. All the members in the squad glared at the cat.

'That's right, that woman has a damn cat…'

-----

The female member slipped inside of Kaoru's room, a rope and a sedative hidden by her back. It was dimly lit by a small lamp near the bed. She could make out the Hitachiin lying in bed, sleeping peacefully. The woman approached him and knelt down so that she was at level with him.

"I was really happy when I found you, Kaoru-chama. Even though we haven't talked much, I understood the scenario that you taken part of," Asakuro said softly. She swept back some of Kaoru's bangs and propped her head on her hand. "Having you in my presence was like taking care of you long time ago, although being your maid was just a cover for me."

The Hitachiin shifted slightly, and he started to stir, except the woman didn't notice a thing. Asakuro exhaled a sigh.

"It would be best if Hikaru-chama was here also," Her gentle face twisted into a slight smile. "It'd be at least fun to experience both of your troublesome antics again."

"But…I guess it's too late now, Kaoru-chama," Asakuro said standing up from her position. A hand stopped her from reaching the sedative that were hidden in her pockets.

Kaoru was by now half-awake, and he was looking at Asakuro tiredly, "Nani (What?), oneechan? What do you mean…too late?"

Asakuro gave a sad smile as she used her other hand to grab the sedative. "Kaoru-chama…are apologies useless?"

The Hitachiin looked at her confusedly before drifting back to sleep. "They…aren't…"

The onyx colored-eyed woman's eyes glazed slightly, as her hand slowly took the shot out from her pockets. "Gomenasai (I'm sorry)…"

And the sedative was shot into his arm.

-------------

Hikaru blinked at her shivering form, and stood up from his chair. He placed a comforting hand on Haruhi's frail shoulders. "Haruhi, it's better if you fell asleep-" A loud crack of thunder interrupted him, and the next thing he knew, Haruhi's reflexes kicked in.

Haruhi tackled into the unexpected Hikaru, causing him and her to fall down on the ground; Hikaru landed on his bottom, with Haruhi still hugging him. The Fujioka was, not knowingly, choking the life out of him.

If she squeezed any harder, his rib cage could cave in, and that wouldn't be good. "Etto (Uh), Haruhi…" In these occasions, Hikaru would be the…-cool- older twin and would do whatever to comfort Haruhi. Except, in these circumstances…

"Hikaru, you have to learn to be independent, when you don't know how to handle certain things, you will have to learn…It's time for you to be the older brother."

Well of course, Kaoru never said that to him before. He was just…thinking how Kaoru would tell him of the situation. After all, in his little black heart, which is tainted with impurity, he did have a small piece of his brother…

"We're both lonely, huh…" Hikaru finally decided to speak up. The girl hugging the Hitachiin didn't reply.

At that point Hikaru started to laugh silently. Haruhi could feel his chest shake slightly. "You know, I never been left alone before. Kaoru was always by my side…"

He awkwardly wrapped his arms around her. Even though he had made contact with the Fujioka tons of times in the Host Club, he had the comfort that Kaoru was doing it with him. And now…he's alone. Left in that dire situation.

"But…I guess it was time for the mother to leave the nest…it's like he pushed me into freezing ice water so that I can actually grow," Hikaru continued. He looked down so he met Haruhi's gaze.

"…Freezing ice water, what are you talking-" Another explosion of thunder and she flinched into his t-shirt.

Hikaru placed a comforting hand on her head and pushed her closer so that her head laid on his chest. "A penguin…I was relating to them…from what we learned in life science…" And he wished he hadn't said that, because he probably sounded stupid, but she kept going silent.

A flash of lightening and the lights near his desk started to dim out; a loud boom like an explosion echoed throughout the household. Hikaru's eyes wandered over to the only source of light in the room, which had just gone out.

"Seems like a black out…" his gaze wandered over to the window, where he had a good view of the neighboring streets. The streets dimmed and fell victim to the darkness. "Sore dewa (So then), we're stuck here until it's over."

The golden-eyed boy could feel Haruhi flinch and shake as another series of thunder escaped from the gloomy skis. Silence filled the large room, and the shadows seemed intimidating as ever. Haruhi was still trembling but not as much as she did before. Hikaru stayed wordless, usually he was a blabber mouth, but he didn't have the air to talk a lot that night.

If his eyes were deceiving him, he could've swore he saw something appearing next to him. Hikaru's poor vision in the dark led him to think that there was a figure kneeling besides him and Haruhi.

"Good job, Hikaru. Your deed was done far more than I have expected…"

And there is was again, the 'Kaoru' in him spoke to him again. And he was hallucinating; it couldn't be possible that a GHOST of a LIVING PERSON could be floating in beside him.

"Kaoru…" was all that escaped from him, yet no one could hear. His mirror image just smiled at him, and placed a hand on the real twin.

"If there was someone more stupid than dono, it would be you…seeing how you easily made the same mistake of using family terms in expressing your feelings. Tsk."

Even though he was talking to himself, Hikaru couldn't help but grow kind of irritated at that little voice. 'I know you're only an illusion, so quit the attempts of trying to piss me off!' His gaze followed back to where the delusion was sitting.

He was starting to fade; the same lazy grin on his face gave Hikaru the notion that it was Kaoru. The older Hitachiin tried to grab onto the hallucination's ghostly pale hands, but he failed.

'Is everyone going to start disappearing from me?' Hikaru thought, as the ghost disappeared from sight. He felt a hollow tap on his other shoulder.

"Everyone going to disappear? Nonsense, Hikaru!" The ghost seemingly smacked Hikaru on the forehead, and the Hitachiin reacted by flinching. Who knew ghostly touches could freeze him so… "No one's going to disappear. Only you, you will lose sense of everyone important to you if you keep acting like this."

'Look…Kaoru. You. Are. Dead. Why would you be talking to me, otherwise?' Hikaru thought, quite angry and upset. Tears were on the verge of spilling out, just thinking that his twin was gone.

Well, wouldn't anyone come to the same conclusion if their ghost brother appears to them and start talking about…stuff?

Kaoru blinked. "Well, I can't release that confidential piece of information. And since I hardly know myself, I'll leave it to you decide whether I'm dead or not." He chuckled and slapped Hikaru on the back. "Hey look, the thunderstorm already passed…and Haruhi fell asleep in your arms."

Hikaru could see the ghost of his brother have a Cheshire grin planted on his face, as the lights hanging over his desk returned to a soft golden glow.

"Now what would dono say about it?" And the ghost left him, his laughter fainting in with the patter of rain. Hikaru sighed, and heaved Haruhi into a better position on his chest.

'He doesn't know if he's dead?' Hikaru thought, emotions were starting to mix in with anger. He shook his head of the negative thoughts, as long as Kaoru's ghost keeps bother him whenever and wherever, he could go on. 'Besides…Kaoru still can be living…'

But the absence is scaring him…kind of.

Moving Haruhi in a stance where he could carry her up onto the bed…was no easy task. The fact that she was…kind of light was…so-so. It was the fact that Hikaru never carried anyone in his life, bothered him.

He cushioned her shoulders with one of his arms, and placed his other underneath her legs. Getting off the floor can be…pretty hard. Never the less, he struggled to get his 'brother' onto a comfortable bed that she could sleep in.

'But…how can I carry her all the way to the next room?' Hikaru thought, struggling to keep her from falling off. And so…with a little trouble, Hikaru placed her on his bed. As he sat next to her form, he suddenly realized an important fact about the doors…

A sweat drop clung onto his head as he hid his face from all to see.

"Defeated, already?"

'Iia (No)…I should've told her…'

"That doors automatically lock once you leave the room? And you don't have her room key, yeah?"

Hikaru grumbled, as he massaged his temples. 'Thank you, Kaoru. Just the thing that I was forgetting.'

A ghostly form assembled in front of him, and tapped him ever so lightly on the head. "Daijoubu (Don't worry), Hikaru. You guys are 'brothers' by your terms." A light bulb popped from the ghostly body. "Ola, I won't bother you now, Hikaru. Try to dress decent when you go to sleep."

And the chippy cat face that was on Kaoru's features was the last thing Hikaru saw before Kaoru drifted away. Hikaru's gaze landed on Haruhi not understanding the blatant truth. After a moment…he slapped his head with his hand.

'No duh! Would I think of that!' Hikaru thought, a light blush coming onto his face. He shook his head and walked back towards his desk and took a seat. He scrubbed his head hard. Obviously sleeping with Haruhi was the last thing he thought of.

Putting that aside, he grabbed the clothing that were to be Haruhi's and instantly put the finishing touches.

"Hi. Ka. RU…."

Said person jumped as the eerie voice spooked him. Hikaru turned to rashly face the ghost twin that was hovering right along side of the sewing machine. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued snipping things. 'Jeez, Kaoru, don't scare me like that! What's the deal of you disappearing and reappearing?'

"Nothing much. But! You upset me!" Kaoru exclaimed looking at Hikaru with a hard stare.

Hikaru groaned and look at his brother. 'Nani (What)? Is it because I'm using your clothes?'

"Baka!" The ghost exclaimed, crossing his arms. Somehow he grabbed the shirt, and pulled out a faded illusion of it. He unfolded it for Hikaru to see. "You see this chest area?" He pointed to the top of the outfit. "Make it flattering, dear Hikaru."

"Nanda (What), but I asked her," he said in disbelief. Kaoru tsked him, as he zoomed close enough to his brother's face. He gave a wink at him and said.

"Now, now, Hikaru dearest. Do you need permission in order to make Haruhi look kawaii?" And he left the scene like that. Hikaru blinked at his brother's sudden disappearance; soon he'll materialize and spook him again.

"Oh well, knowing her, she wouldn't care," he said to himself, getting onto the clothing once more. After a long while, it was now around 12 pm. Hikaru placed down his set of clothing and stretched.

He was done. Now to take a bath. He walked over towards the closet and rummaged through it for a pair of pajamas. And since the twins were known for not wearing anything (except boxers) when they went to sleep, the maids didn't bother to add pajamas to their drawers.

"Cheh," was all he said as he picked out three articles of clothing.

Slam.

--

Hikaru was sitting there in the abnormally large tub letting the water faucet hit him with cold water. That was what he called…a bath. Sort of.

Why he was taking a cold shower…one would wonder. A slight squeak interrupted his thoughts, and then the water turned abnormally hot.

"AGH!"

Thank goodness the bathrooms were kind of sound proof or else Haruhi would have woken up. Hikaru dashed out of the bath tub and collapsed on the floor outside of it and stared at the showering water. As he suspected, a figure was floating above him, staring down at him with a stare.

"Hikaru dear, it's unhealthy for you to take cold showers…I can't stand by and watch your emo-ness carry on!" Kaoru scolded, grabbing a nearby towel and throwing it at him. Hikaru rubbed his body that was scorched from the hot steamy water.

"And why would you turn it on high?" Hikaru asked, quite irritated. He stood up, and stared accusingly at his twin brother. Kaoru just shrugged.

"Remember, I'm a ghost. I can touch you, but you can't touch me. I noticed that it was a cold shower because the knob for hot water was shut! But problem is, is that I'm a ghost and I can't even feel the temperature. So I just turned it on…ehehe,"Kaoru said, smiling sheepishly.

"You know, Kaoru. Can you stop materializing in front of me in random times? And in the bathroom too! You're going to become a peeping tom for a ghost one day…" Hikaru said, stepping back into the shower. Kaoru watched his brother shift the curtains closed as he turned the water back to its favorable temperature.

Kaoru faked a gasp, as he jumped onto the sink counter to sit. "Peeping tom? Your nudity doesn't even faze me." He could see Hikaru produce a sweat drop. A pang of realization onto the dead twin's face as a Cheshire grin came on his face.

The ghost asked, while giggling, "Is it that you're scared…that I might see Haruhi's virgin and pure skin?"

"KAORU!" Hikaru yelled, ripping the curtains apart so that he could glare at his brother. A blush and a vein were clear on his face.

"Of course not!" Kaoru joked, slipping off the counter. He chuckled a bit, as Hikaru stepped out of the shower. "I would give everything to you, even Haruhi." A perverted blush came onto his face. "I can take a picture for you if you want."

Pop.

"Kaoru!"

"I was kidding! Sheesh, Hikaru...you're whacked," Kaoru said, as Hikaru started to put on his clothes.

Hikaru paused after he finished putting his clothes on. "…Kaoru, you're not acting like yourself…at all," Hikaru noted, looking hard at the dead ghost.

A laugh escaped the deceased twin's lips, and he looked at Hikaru mysteriously. "Are you sure…I'm Kaoru?"

"Ano-!" Hikaru said, raising his eyes from the floor. No longer sitting against the sink counter top, Kaoru was gone. "Kaoru…who…no…what are you?"

--

Leaving the bathroom, quite red because of the scorching hot water, Hikaru approached the bed. His face was red, either from the fact that he has to sleep with Haruhi or from the hot water.

He shivered cursing the air conditioner. 'Damn…why's it this cold?' He sighed when he realized that the air conditioner's temperature can only be handled by the maids. If it wasn't that cold, he would've had the choice to sleep on the ground.

'Dependency sucks…'

Hikaru grumbled as he walked off to the opposite side of the bed. There was Haruhi, whom he just placed there, and she was sleeping soundly with the covers over her. Maybe she snuggled in on her own.

The Hitachiin crawled to the opposite side, and decided to stay far on the edge. He took the other half of the bed sheet and tugged it a bit from Haruhi. Gulping, and taking one last look at her, he placed his head on Kaoru's pillow.

Hikaru inhaled and exhaled the scent of mint, as he closed his eyes going deep into slumber.
