But I would like to see some new faces, I do love you guys very much though! ^_^

Chapter 11:

The next morning was beautiful. I woke up with Kaoru pressed against my body. I was still inside of him and we were still naked. We were close and I loved it. I woke up before he did so got to see he's innocently adorable face as he slept cuddled against me. I didn't want to wake him up. I wanted to stay right here with him.

"I love you." I whispered and tenderly kissed his forehead. He moved a bit but didn't wake up. He made a cute groaning sound but that was it he was still out cold. I REALLY didn't want to wake him up. He was so cute.

"Mnng... Hikaru." Kaoru grumbled as he slowly opened his eyes and I smiled at him and pulled him tighter to my chest as he shivered. "I'm so cold."

"What's wrong?" My face turned to sheer concern and he shivered again. Our room was REALLY hot for the reason that we're usually naked. (Although everyone else might think differently...)

"I don't... feel good." He said and I climbed on top of him and pressed my lips to his forehead.

He was burning up.

"Kaoru." I whispered and he grunted.

"Mnng.." He whined and I bit my lip and held him closely.

"Do you want to stay home today? I think you should." I whispered and he looked away sadly.

"I don't want to be alone. I'll go to school." He said and pushed himself up and yelped in pain and fell back and I furrowed my brow together and started to shake.

"Is this because of what we did Kaoru?" I asked and he shook his head slowly.

"Just.. Hold me. I'm so cold." He said softly and I laid down and held him close to me.

"Of course Kaoru." I kissed his forehead, for once hating the feeling of heat he gave my lips. "Should we get to the doctors?"

"N-no Hikaru. I'm cold. Don't leave me." He whispered and I looked down at him and pulled away and walked to the dresser and pulled out some clothes. I helped him get dressed in sweatpants and a sweatshirt (which honestly, we didn't even know we OWNED sweats) and I got dressed too and laid down next to him and made sure to held him tighter than I ever have before.

"I'm not going to leave you." I promised and the door opened shortly after. Tamaki stood there with the usual coffee until he saw my face. He blinked and placed the cups down and closed the door and walked in and sat on Kaoru's side of the bed.

"Is something wrong?" He asked, calm which was strange.

"Kaoru isn't feeling well and he's burning up." I said and Tamaki's gaze turned to Kaoru and he felt Kaoru's forehead with his wrist.

"Oh, you really are sick, aren't you?" Tamaki whispered and held Kaoru and kissed the top of his head. "Well I suppose you two won't be in school?"

"I don't think so." I said and Kaoru was slowly falling asleep. "It would really make me feel better if Kaoru went to the doctors though. He's recovering from Leukemia, even the slightest cold could kill him."

"Stop being... So... Protective..." Kaoru mumbled and fell asleep in my arms and I looked down at him sadly.

"What do you think we should do Tamaki?" I asked and looked up at him and he sighed.

"I think that no matter what we should get him to the doctors." Tamaki looked down at the sleeping Kaoru. I've noticed that he seems more calm than he usually is. He's not as obnoxious and flamboyant.

"What's wrong Tamaki?" I asked and he looked at me a bit surprised for some reason and shook his head.

"Well, I know it isn't just nothing so I won't even lie about that but I'm not lying when I say I don't want to talk about it." Tamaki explained and I nodded slowly. "Well, we should still give Kaoru something to eat. He's still healing and needs all the food he can get." Tamaki said and stood up. "I'll get the soup he likes."

"Thank you Tamaki. You don't have to though. I mean, you have school and everything..." I argued slightly and he smiled softly.

"Kaoru is more important that school. I'll be back soon, I'll go to the school and get our work. Speaking of, where is your homework. I'll hand it in." Tamaki said softly, not wanting to wake up Kaoru. I smiled at him.

"Thank you for your hospitality." I said and pointed to our books on the desk. "They are in the folders on the bottom."

Tamaki nodded and grabbed them and handed me a cup of coffee. He ran his fingers through Kaoru's hair and kissed his head.

"I hope he get's better. Make sure he does. I'll be back in an hour with his soup." Tamaki said and I nodded. "Sensation mieux, mon amour." He whispered and with that walked out of the room and I stared down at Kaoru. Tamaki really did care for him. And I was jealous. He knew and neither of them told me what those guys did.

"Hi...karu..." Kaoru groaned in his sleep and I held him tighter trying to make sure he was warm enough. Poor guy.

"I love you Kaoru." I whispered and he clung tighter.

"Hi...karu..." A few tears ran down his cheek and he shivered. "Hi.. karu."

This started to get me worried. More tears were streaming down his face and he looked really torn up about something. I kissed his lips softly.

"Kaoru. I'm here. Why are you crying?" I asked to his unconscious state.

"Hi.. karu." He was gradually getting louder and I looked down, not really knowing what to do. He was scaring me.

"Hikaru..." I let my fingers push into his hips as I held him shaking.

"I'm here Kaoru. What's wrong?" I asked, getting really worried.

"Hikaru." More tears. He was practically sobbing. "Hikaru."

"Kaoru!" I yelled and he tossed himself to the side and dug his nails into my arm.

"Hikaru!" He sobbing. "Hikaru!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I whispered and got up and cradled him in my arms and brought him to the limo. "We need to get to the hospital."

~** **~

"He's ok." The doctor assured stoically. "He's pretty weak from his surgery a while ago but if we play our cards right, he can make it."

"Then get in there and make sure that he doesn't even as much, breath wrong!" I said after standing up. "And you better play your cards right!"

"Calm down." He said emotionlessly. How could someone of asshole status be a doctor? It didn't make sense to me. "He simply has the common flu. Cold sweats, aches, pains, and high fever is normal. We will take care of him."

"You better." I muttered angrily. "I want to see him."

"Well that won't be wise since--" I gave him a very nasty glare and he sighed. "Ok. He's in that room over there. Be careful not to wake him up. I have more work to do."

I rushed to the room and Kaoru was sleeping soundlessly. I wish I could be sleeping like that.

He was cuddled up though, he must be really cold. I sighed and climbed on the bed with him and wrapped my arms around him and he held me closer. I pulled out my cell phone and called Tamaki. It took him a little while to answer but he finally did.

"Is something wrong Hikaru?" He answered with and I sighed as I stroked Kaoru's hair.

"Yes. We're in the hospital. Kaoru is doing fine but I couldn't help but worry. You know how I am with him." I sighed and heard him chuckle slightly.

"Yes, I know. I'll be there soon." He hung up. What was with Tamaki lately. I had no idea what the hell was wrong with him.

"Hikaru..." Kaoru whimpered as he clutched my shirt

"Kaoru." I soothed as I kissed the top of his head. "I love you."

I could say it a million times and in his state he wouldn't reply. But it left me curious as to what he was dreaming of...

~** Kaoru's POV **~

[A/N: I hate writing dreams because I hate reading them but it's to give you information so w.e.]

~DREAM~

I couldn't feel. I don't know how to describe the pain of not feeling... Well... Pain. I wanted to feel it. At least I knew I was alive if I did. But everything was dull. The colors, the place, the people. Everything. At least that's what it seemed like to me. I couldn't see anything. It was like I was a walking zombie or something. I don't know ho to explain. I really don't.

"Hikaru." I seemed to have lost him. I couldn't find him anywhere. But I suppose the part of my heart to be worried was cut off because there wasn't a tinge of worry in my voice which scared me. Why did I sound so carefree. My mind knew I was afraid but it wouldn't project through my heart.

"Hikaru!" I called out as I walked through hallways. I couldn't tell where I was. But in the middle of each hallway on the wall was a poster with an X that said 'you are here' but all it showed was the hallway. Pretty useless if you ask me. What would the purpose be for that?

"HI-KA-RU!" I screamed angrily and finally I was led to a hallway that led to a door.

I opened it and I saw Hikaru kissing Haruhi. They were making out and he was... Having sex with her. But, something in my painfully emotionless heart told me that it wasn't a dream but a flashback. I got to watch as Hikaru kissed her all over, made her feel like she was perfect. Make her moan and I saw the way he stealthily slipped off her pants. That's when I knew that maybe there was no love in that relationship. It seemed to be built off sexual desire. Of course I could be wrong. I continued to watch, for some reason the ability to close my eyes on my own dream and to turn around weren't possible. So I saw each kiss he gave her. I saw him cup her breasts in his hands and get aroused at that. It made me sick but I couldn't move. Finally, he entered her and I quickly turned my head away, feeling tears running down my cheeks.

"Hikaru." I said but he didn't pay attention to me. His attention was on Haruhi.

Haruhi.

Haruhi.

Haruhi.

It was always here wasn't it. But I didn't give up. I still tried to get you to notice me.

"Hikaru!" I yelled out but it seemed you kissed her harder and felt her up more. And moaned as she shivered at your touch. That touch was mine. She didn't deserve it. I couldn't bare to watch as my eyebrows began to shake and my eyes spewed tears and my body didn't want to move.

"Hikaru! Stop that!" I screamed so loud my throat burned. "PLEASE! WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME HIKARU!? AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH!?"

He stopped. Just by him stopping I couldn't help but smile. My heart felt like it was being sewn back again. I could feel. I felt the happiness. It wasn't fake.

But then you went back to doing what you were doing.

"Haruhi..." You moaned quite loudly and drew out the word. And that's when all the efforts of putting my emotions back together were completely wasted.

Awwwwwwwwww angst. Sorry, I needed to write angst in something X3 And you're lucky it wasn't Shadow Prince... xD
