Chapter 8 – Hitachiin Brothers

"Hey Kaoru," i began. "Is it alright if I hang out with you and Hikaru to the mall after school?"

"Its alright with me, but i don't know about Hikaru." Kaoru whispered.

"Well, try to make him come, please?" i asked. He looked at me and sighed.

"Sure, i'll see what I can do." I smiled and continued with class. At lunch I sat with Haruhi like I always do and I watched as Kaoru talked to Hikaru.

"So what are you doing after school?" Haruhi asked. I turned to face her.

"Im going to hang out with Kaoru and Hikaru today. Im going to make Hikaru like me and not hate me." i explained.

"Thats good. Hikaru does seem to hate you." she admitted. I nodded my head and Kaoru walked up to us and sat down.

"Well, Hikaru didn't want to come at first, but i begged him to come, so he'll come." he indicated. I smiled. "Why did you want him to come anyways?"

"I didn't want Hikaru to hate me, so i thought i could do something." I stated.

"Then why am i coming?"

"You guys love each other and plus it wouldn't be right to have one twin with me." I explained. "I like you both, and since your twins, i'd bring you both."

"Thats nice of you." Haruhi said. I smiled at her and watched as Kaoru leave to eat with Hikaru. Soon, it was Host Club time. Haruhi and I walked together and when I opened the door, Tamaki jumped and landed on the both of us.

"Where were you? We missed you!" he yelled.

"We're not late." Haruhi said coldly. He stood up and brushed himself and walked away to sit down.

"Didn't even help us up, how rude." I whispered to Haruhi as I helped her up. She nodded her head and walked with everyone else. As hosting began, i sat down on the couch and watched as everyone worked. Then a shadow was seen and i looked up to see an annoyed Hikaru.

"Why aren't you working?" he asked. I sighed and smiled and patted the seat next to me. He sat down with the same look.

"Im just taking a break." i explained. "You should too." He relaxed.

"Why do you want me to come with you and Kaoru to the mall?" he asked.

"You don't like me, so im going to try my best so that could change." He stood up and walked away as i watched him leave. I sighed and began working again. After class i quickly got home and changed into a girl. I wore a pretty black dress shirt, regular blue pants, and black flats, and clipped my bangs to the side.

"Mai!" I yelled. "Im going to hang out with some of my friends."

"Okay, don't be out to long." she yelled from the kitchen. I left the house and waited outside the ice cream store. I got a quick small cone and waited patiently for them.

"Sorry we're late Machina!" Kaoru yelled as they both ran towards me. I smiled.

"Its okay." We three walked to the mall and went to the food court.

"So what would you guys like? I'll pay." i started.

"No, its okay, i'll pa-" I stuck my index finger right in front of Kaoru.

"I asked you to come, so i'll pay!" He nodded their head and we quickly got food. It seemed like Hikaru was trying to be mean because he bought a lot of food, while Kaoru and I just got like 3 things. Apparently Hikaru didn't eat it all and just threw it away.

"Hikaru, don't waste food, when Machina bought it for you!" he argued. Hikaru just shrugged and we walked to the theaters.

"What would you guys like to watch? I'll pay ag-" This time Kaoru stuck his finger in front of me.

"I'll pay, and i'll pick." he suggested. I smiled and nodded. He went to the pay thingy and bought a few tickets.

"Come on lets go." he said. He started walking off and Hikaru followed and I followed behind him. We got inside, and we bought some popcorn.

"What are we watching?" I asked.

"Something that every girl gets scared of, and possibly a few guys." Kaoru explained. My eyes widened.

"What!" i screamed. "I hate scary movies." I held my hands together and Hikaru looked worried and Kaoru just smiled. We took our seats near the front and by the loud speaker.

"W-why here?" i shuttered. Kaoru again just smiled. It was me by the loud speaker and Hikaru and than Kaoru.

'Okay, i guess im scared of two things. Drowning and scared movies.' I thought as the movie began. Some girls started screaming but i tried to hide it by flinching. All of a sudden 2 scary faces was shown on the screen, and tons of girls screamed for a long time. Apparently it scared me a lot so I screamed as I held onto Hikaru's arm and looked down. As i looked up, Hikaru looked at me worriedly and smiled.

'Is he starting to like me now?' I thought. I continued to hold his arm and every time something scary popped up, i buried my face into his arm. After the movie, I let go and walked with them.

"Lets go to the photo booth, so i can get that movie out of my mind." i declared. They nodded their head. It was Kaoru, me, and then Hikaru. The first shot had us laughing; the second was making silly faces and the third was Hikaru and Kaoru kissing my cheek. I was at shock when that happened cause they did it on the last second. The last picture was of my arms around they shoulders and their arms around mine and we smiled at the camera. After that, I had one, and Hikaru and Kaoru had one.

"Do you hate me now?" i asked as they walked me home. Hikaru looked up and smiled.

"Nah, youre alright now." he stated. Kaoru went between us and put his arms around our shoulder.

"Thats what Im talking about!" he yelled as he smiled. We both smiled and when I got home, I got dressed into my bed clothes. As i lay down, I looked at the pictures we took, and I started at the one where Hikaru and Kaoru kissed my cheek.

'Such a great day, huh?' I thought as I put the picture down and went to sleep.
