I do not own OHSHC.

I silently glared at the digital clock next to my bed from my spot in my desk chair, another minute ticked by, it had been two hours since their change started but they showed no signs of waking. The pain had receded into a dull ache after the first hour and was slowly fading out. The wounds on their necks from my bite had healed, only leaving a pair of matching pale scars that blended well with their skin color.

The time spent in silence while I watched over them gave me the opportunity to evaluate the bond that had solidified between the twins and I. I felt very similar to the bond that I had been feeling with Haruhi but I could feel that it went both ways unlike with Haruhi, only I could feel it. Their emotions pulsed through me and their thoughts whispered throughout my mind, sounding much like the rustling of wind as it blows through the leaves of a Sakura tree.

For the next hour I spent my time learning ways to block out their thoughts and emotions or more or less filter out the important ones like the thirst that Kaoru was feeling a he reached the brim of his consciousness.

Kaoru's eyes snapped open, their once amber color now brilliant crimson. He sat up slowly, carefully taking in his surroundings, his gaze lingering on Hikaru. "He'll be waking soon as well." At the sound of my voice his slightly crazed eyes moved to me, barely showing signs of recognition. "When he wakes, I will take you both to feed." I didn't want to chance leaving Hikaru to wake alone. Kaoru blinked a few times, brought his hand up to his burning throat, and nodded.

Kaoru focused his gaze back on his brother's face, 'Please wake up soon' his mind whispered and I briefly wondered if Hikaru could hear him. I could feel the amount of control that Kaoru was exercising and I could tell that he wouldn't cause me problems. I had never seen a newborn vampire but something told me that the amount of control he had wasn't normal. Now I could only hope that Hikaru would be as in control of himself as his twin.

I felt Hikaru's thirst rise to dangerous heights moments before his eyelids fluttered open. Kaoru breathed a sigh of relief at his brother's waking and moved to hug Hikaru but was shocked and a little hurt when Hikaru flinched violently away and snarled at his twin. "Hikaru?" Kaoru smiled gently at Hikaru, attempting to calm his feral brother. "Hikaru, it's okay. We're okay Hikaru. I know you're thirsty but you have to calm down before we can take care of it." Kaoru slowly reached out to Hikaru again and smiled when Hikaru stopped snarling and let his brother embrace him.

Kaoru looked at me and nodded to let me know that Hikaru was manageable though I could feel the fierceness of their thirst through this strange bond.

'Let's go.' The comand was meant to be verbal but no sound left my mouth. Even still they stood up quickly and moved to my side without complaint. 'This could be useful.' I thought to myself. I moved to the door and decided to try telecommunication with them again. 'Follow me and stay quiet.' I glanced at them to see both nod slowly before unlocking my door to take the twins to the feeders that my family kept.

I was relieved when neither seemed to have issues with feeding but I kept a close eye on Hikaru to ensure that his fierce thirst wouldn't cause him to kill the feeder. Thankfully he pulled away before the feeder could feel anything but faint dizziness. I felt pride swell in me as both twins simultaneously returned from their feeding, calm exuding from them and their eyes now like cold amber.

"You two should probably stay here tonight. I'm sure that you both have questions." My slate eyes flicked from one to the other. "Call home so they know where you are and I'll meet you back in my room." I turned from them and walked slowly back to my room to collect my phone to send a quick text to Haruhi, "I have to stay home tonight. See you in the morning."

I set my phone on my desk as the twins entered the room looking rather restless. Kaoru took one look at me and pulled Hikaru down to sit on the floor with him. I decided to join them on the floor, Kaoru looking at me expectantly and Hikaru glaring at the setting sun that was hitting him squarely in his eyes.

I chuckled at Hikaru's reaction to the sunlight. "It gets better." Hikaru merely nodded to me and shifted his position to avoid the sun. "Now what do you want to-" A single knock on my door interrupted us but the single tap, I knew that it was my father. "Yes?" I called only seconds before he opened the door.

"I see that you were able to go through with it. It truly seems that you are worthy of leading this clan." His eyes scanned over the twins and his lips curled into a venomous smile. "They have amazing control for just awakening; it just shows how powerful their Sire is. And with them being twins, yes they will be a powerful asset indeed." My father's gaze lingered on the twins and it seemed as he was trying to intimidate them but the only emotion from Hikaru was annoyance and Kaoru seemed vaguely curious. "Though it seems that they do not yet know their place." My father growled in irritation.

I felt a protective urge swell in me when I saw them slightly jump at my father's sudden irritation. I stood up and put myself in between the twins and my father. They know their place." I smirked at my father and sent a telepathic command to the twins, 'Stand with me but let your inner monster show.' I kept eye contact with my father while the twins rose to stand just behind my shoulders on either side, simultaneously letting their own control slip just enough to make their eyes glow and their fangs show. "Their place is at my side, not yours." I smirked and let my eyes flash red. "Now did you need something?"

My father scowled at me but didn't back down. "You don't scare me Takashi and neither do those trained lapdogs of yours. You need to have more respect." I could feel the anger rolling off of him in waves and I seemed like he was going to strike me. He seemed determined to establish his role as the alpha male and before I could block his hit, his fist slammed into my solar plexus, making me double over.

The satisfaction he felt was short lived as the twins swung around me, grabbed my father by the collar of his haori and pinned him to the wall near my closed door in perfect symmetry. " Careful father." I breathed out and slowly stood, wincing at the pain of my body healing. "Even trained dogs know how to bite." As if to reinforce my words, both twins bared their fangs and growled low.

"Takashi." My father's voice held firm but his eyes showed his fear.

"That's enough guys." I could feel the strong urge to rip my father apart from Hikaru whereas Kaoru desired to beat him to a bloody pulp.

"But Mori-senpai! He hit you!" Hikaru tore his eyes away from my father to stare at me with bewilderment.

"Hikaru, I said that's enough. It's not the first time it's happened and it probably won't be the last." I set my hand on his shoulder and Kaoru's until they each relinquished their hold and turned away, heads hung in dejection. "Now father if there is nothing more that you need, I would like to ask you to please leave."

My father smoothed out his haori and scoffed at the twins. "You best keep them in line, I'd hate for you to suffer the consequences of their actions should they attempt that again." My father flexed his fingers to emphasize the physical consequences that would await me.

Memories of the times when I had received physical punishment flashed through my mind but Hikaru's rage pulled me back to the present. " You will never hurt him like that ever again. Over my dead body." Hikaru shot a dangerous glare at my father over his shoulder.

My father smile was sickly sweet. "Dear boy, that can be arranged." I waited as my father turned and walked briskly from the room before turning to face Hikaru and Kaoru.

"What you two did was brave and I appreciate it but don't ever do it again." I moved back to my spot on the floor and motioned for them to sit as well.

"But Mori-senpai, all the ways that he's hurt you in the past..." Kaoru frowned deeply.

"No parent should ever harm their child like that." Hikaru scowled at the threadbare tatami mat on my floor.

"So you guys saw that?" It was looking more and more like we were going to to learn more about this strange new bond soon.

"It was like a movie playing in my head." Kaoru gently rubbed his temples and Hikaru only silently nodded.

"Over time we should be able to gain control over this weird psychic link that we have but I wanted to ask, before we were so rudely interrupted, how are you two feeling? Any comments or concerns?" I watched as they both looked over themselves.

"Different." They chorused.

"I can actually feel that I'm not human." Kaoru sighed gently. "Not sure what's I expected but I feel okay."

"I feel like a monster..." Hikaru whispered. "I wanted to kill him... Am I going to be able to control this... I don't want to be a murderer..." Hikaru was staring at his hands as if they already had blood staining them.

"Hikaru, you will never be a murderer. You are strong enough to control the darkness inside of you." I ran my hands through my spiked black hair. "You may be a monster but you are also Hikaru Hitachiin."

Hikaru's eyes widened in surprise when Kaoru covered his twins hands with his own. "Hikaru, we're in this together and I promise that I will protect you, even from yourself." Kaoru smiled sweetly at Hikaru.

"Alright you two, here's the deal. If you don't feed at least twice a week, you'll end up weakened and vulnerable which means you'll be more likely to attack and possibly kill someone. I can see if I can arrange for a couple feeders to be moved to your place as new staff but until then you'll have to come here. Its probably best if you have either Mitskuni or I with you when you come to feed. Oh and you need to keep your non-human side to yourselves, we'll tell the club members but no one else needs to know." I paused to check to see if they were paying attention and was satisfied to see them silently absorbing every word. "You're gonna be stronger and faster than you were before but just try to do stuff normally and you should be fine."

For the rest of the evening we decided to work on figuring out how to properly use the bond and what it was fully capable of. We discovered that not only could I contact them telepathically but they could reach each other as well. We also figured out how to put up a wall so to speak to keep our personal information to ourselves which I was grateful for. I just prayed that school tomorrow would pass normally and without incident.
