Maximum Phantomhive: Actually when I originally created this story in my first outline Yuu was to carry around a diary and be more silent and reluctant to speak with anyone. After coming across some trouble in further chapters and finding some parts too cliché I decided against that. I'm not the best when creating titles and fond of the song that inspired me to write this, I decided just to leave the title as it was.
So no there's no real reason it's called that anymore D:
The sudden knock at the door caused the young woman to turn her head towards it. She didn't rise immediately, it took a few more tries to coax her into seeing who was knocking at her bedroom door.
"Yuu-kun, it's time for dinner." The young chestnut haired woman spoke as she and the Takashi stood in the doorway.
"Y-Yeah…I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Yuu barely spoke before she began following the pair towards the dinning room. She completely missed the concerned looks that were sent her way. She was too focused on the mental argument she was having with herself over the events that took place earlier that day. So focused she didn't even realize they had already arrived in the dinning room.
"Ohhh~!" Honey's small voice broke Yuu's out of her trace as she lifted her head and stared at the people seated at the long wooden table.
"Haruhi, are those your own clothes?" Both twins questioned as Honey and themselves walked over to the doorway they had stopped in.
"It seems my father repacked my suitcase." Haruhi answered calmly before continuing to speak her thoughts. "He always wants me to wear these kinds of clothes."
"Good job! Haruhi-papa!" Both boys laughed as they stuck out their thumbs. "So much cuter than…" Yuu didn't take any notice to the looks that were being sent her way. Didn't notice they slightly shocked looks she was receiving for her choice of pajamas. Even if she did she wouldn't had understood. To her, the red shirt with bold writing saying 'Prussia can seize my vital regions any day.' was funny and cute. "Yuu-kun, why would you wear such clothes." Both boys cried out before latching onto her arms. Though she made no move to try and remove them.
"Because I like them…" Yuu answered softly, too emotionally drained to try and argue with them that she thought they were the cutest.
It was her lack of fighting, or showing any emotion that caused her to receive many concerned stares. She just made her way over to the large table, taking a seat and waiting for the others too as well. Thus beginning the long and awkward dinner.
"The mood is kind of…dead." Hikaru finally spoke up after no one had spoken for quite sometime. "It's kind of tense too." Kaoru finished for his brother as they both focused their attention on Haruhi and Tamaki. The pair were seated beside one another, and you could still feel the anger they were emitting from their previous fight.
"L-Let's eat Haru-chan." Honey finally spoke up trying to direct the attention on something other than the pair that refused to speak to one another. "The crabs we collected today should be delicious."
Haruhi wasted no time picking up a crab leg and snapping it in half with her bare hands. An action that caused Tamaki to flinch and inch away from her in slight fear. "This crab is delicious." Haruhi answered as she snapped crab leg after crab leg, not taking any notice to the look of terror on Tamaki's face.
"Don't you think you're eating too much? "Tamaki finally questioned around the tenth or so leg Haruhi had ate.
"Hmm? I thought you weren't talking to me?" Haruhi mumbled with her mouth full of food. Yuu thought she heard Tamaki muttered something along the lines of 'So not cute'. She didn't really think about it, because soon after Tamaki slammed his hand against the table.
"All right, I get it. You're not going to reflect upon what you did." Tamaki huffed before holding his head high "That's it; I'm sleeping. Kyouya, take me to my room."
Kyouya wiped his lips before excusing himself from the table and leaving along with Tamaki. It was only after they had both left, did Haruhi falter in her movement.
"Maybe I should go learn some karate or something." Haruhi mumbled under her breath, but she was still heard by everyone at the table.
"What?" The twins spoke together looking at her in disbelief. "So that is on your mind." Hikaru sighed before continuing on without his brother's echo. "Yet, that's your train of thought?" Kaoru decided it was his turn to speak, so he did "We won't stop you form learning anything, but that's no the issue here."
Haruhi made a questioning sound before Hikaru decided to speak again. "Frankly, I want you both to reflect upon your reckless acts like today's." Yuu perked lightly, taking notice that she was also included in that statement. Slightly confused because she had already apologized countless time before hand.
"Huh?" Haruhi let the questioning sound escape her lips as she stared at Hikaru in confusion. "I didn't give you two any trouble?" Both boys couldn't help but shrug to one another in defeat.
"That's wrong Haru-chan." Haruhi turned her attention towards her blonde haired senior with a curios gaze. "Say sorry to everyone, okay?" It was if a light bulb went off in the young woman's head, finally starting to realize what everyone was trying to say. "You should say sorry to Tama-chan for making him worry, okay?"
"You were all worried about me?" Haruhi questioned with large eyes, resulting in the three boys to sigh "I see…I'm sorry." It was in mere moment Haruhi was suddenly wrapped in a large hug by the twins and Honey. They mumbled about how adorable she was cooing and accepting her apology.
It was during those touching moments, did Yuu make her escape. She walked out of the dinning room without anyone taking any notice. Well that wasn't the truth, she was pretty sure Takashi watched her leave. She didn't think much on that though, she just wanted to make it back to her room.
That was the problem though…
"Every time…" Yuu mumbled before placing her forehead against the hallway wall. "I have the worse sense of direction ever known to man." Yuu hit her head against the wall a few more times, before slumping to the floor. Pulling her knees to her chest, she sat there and waited for someone to pass by and help her.
She'd feel like too much of a fool, sneaking out of the dinning room only to walk back in and ask for help. Plus she was pretty sure she'd have no idea how to get back there anyways.
"Yuu?" That was quicker response time than she actually expected. Actually she thought she'd sit in the hall way all night. "What are you doing, just sitting there?" Yuu rose her head and was slightly shocked to see it was Kaoru standing there looking at her questioning. For once his brother was no where in sit, and that slightly baffled Yuu.
"…I got lost." Yuu replied in shame before burying her head in her knees. She didn't remove her face either, until she heard Kaoru take a seat beside her on the floor. "What are you doing?" He didn't answer her, they both just sat in silence until Kaoru finally decided to speak.
"Yuu…why didn't you call for help when we were so close by?" Yuu couldn't help but flinch lightly when asked that question. It was something she had hoped to avoid after making such a fool of herself. She couldn't be strong and brave for a moment, why did she fool herself into believing she could?
"…I wanted to prove that I could be brave…t-that I didn't need to rely on others to always save me." Yuu answered after a few moments, trying to find the right way to word her thoughts. "I want to be someone Rin can go to when she needs someone, but how can I be that person when she's always the one protecting me?" Feeling the tears begin to form once more, Yuu shut her eyes tightly trying to will them away.
"Have you ever thought that she could need you in some other way other than in the fighting sense?" Yuu blinked in slight surprise, turning her head towards Kaoru. "You're not the type to fight, and I can't see you ever being that type of person." Yuu couldn't help but feel a shot to her pride, a sense of failure building up. "But you can always be there for her emotionally. Be the one she can lean on, and the shoulder to cry on. Be the person she can always run to, when she is feeling as sad and frustrated as you are now."
Yuu mouth form a small 'o' shape as the thoughts began processing in her head. It was a expression Kaoru couldn't help but chuckle at.
"I don't need to be strong and brave to protect her… I-I can help her by just being there for her." Yuu felt slightly dumb for not looking at it from that point of view. But sometimes she had tunnel vision when it came to her sister and her needs. It was what drove her to stand up and take back to the men harassing those girls. Because she knew she had to be strong and protect them if she ever hoped to protect Rin.
But she didn't need to be that strong and brave person for her twin, because the younger sister was brave and strong enough for the both of them. She just need to be there for her, to listen when she had problems, and to help in whatever way she could.
"T-Thank you Kaoru-kun." Yuu finally managed to say after silence had settled between them. "I felt so useless when Hikaru and you had to save me. But now I know-" Yuu paused to turn to the younger twin and smile brightly. "I can help everyone by being there, I don't need to fight because I know you guys will always protect me when I can't." Kaoru couldn't help but let the blush dust his cheeks when that adorable smile was directed at him and him alone.
"It was nothing." Kaoru smiled back, only rubbing the back of his head as he tried to will away the heat in his cheeks.
A sudden booming sound echoed throughout the house causing Yuu to jump slightly in shock and squeak lightly in fear. She didn't mean to, but she subconsciously moved closer to Kaoru.
"So this is where you've been." Both teens turned their attention in the direction of the voice. And neither was really surprised that Hikaru was standing there. Yuu was only confused by the irritated look that was barely noticeable. Was he mad that his brother had come to talk with her, leaving him alone? "I was about to go check up on Haruhi and Tono."
"Why?" Yuu questioned not quite understanding why the pair would need to be checked up on.
"Because Kyou-chan left them by their selves in his room!" Honey cried out as Takashi, Kyouya, and himself walked down the hall towards the three. Yuu silently twitched wondering if they had been there when she had talked with Kaoru. That would had been a little embarrassing.
"Was it really okay-" Hikaru questioned before his brother finished for him. "-For us to leave them alone?" Yuu didn't realize that they had already begun walking towards where the two were supposed to be working out their problems.
"This is Tamaki we're talking about." Kyouya spoke before pushing up his glasses and stopping in front of a large wooden door. "What kind of mistakes do you expect him to make?"
The brothers quickly made their way in front of everyone and knocked on the door. "Tono! We're coming in!" They announced as they opened the door. Though once it was opened everyone paused and stared with large confused eyes.
"See! If you put a blindfold on, you won't be able to see it!" Tamaki cried out cheerfully as he tied the blindfold around Haruhi's eyes. "And if you put the earplugs in for the noise-"
"Ah! It's true." Haruhi cried out happily completely oblivious to how naughty the position they were in looked.
"This guy is the worst!" Hikaru suddenly hissed causing Tamaki to turn around with a look of fright. "What kind of play is this!" Kaoru demanded causing Tamaki to panic even more.
"No!" Tamaki jumped to his feet waving his arms back and forth trying to explain himself. "It's not like that!"
Yuu couldn't help but smile to herself. It was nice to see that after all the events that happened earlier, it hadn't done any damage to their friendship.
