Hikaru and Kaoru sat on the balcony with Haruhi, whom they'd invited over to their house for tea. And of course to try and trick
her into wearing more girlie outfits that were far too revealing. As usual.
"So Haruhi, Have your dad's new girlfriend yet?" Kaoru asked in a perfectly innocent voice. As if he didn't know a thing about it. Haruhi
raised a hand to her chin thoughtfully
"No, but I'm sure he'll introduce us soon. He talks about her all the time."
"Oh?" the twins asked in unison, sharing an inner smirk, "Like what?"
"Well, dad says she loves sports, She doesn't mind that he's a cross dresser, and she's really fun to be around. She's got three kids of
her own, so she loves children."
"Anything else?"
"Like....her name?"
Haruhi nodded, yeah, dad calls her Hiti. I wonder what it's short for...."
"Hitinake Fugen...."the twins whispered to themselves, chuckling evily.
Haruhi didn't hear them, she had a smile on her face, " Dad's been so happy since he met her....I havn't seen him so happy
in a long time..."
She looked into her teacup, "I'm really glad my dad met her. If she makes him happy, she's okay in my book."
000000ooooo000000
Yuzuha came out onto the balcony, as always, looking just as flamboyant as her sons.
"Oh boys! Your father just sent you a package from Australia from his business trip. It's downstairs"
Hikaru and Kaoru stood, "We'll be right back," they said in unison, heading for the stairs calmly. Haruhi nodded. Yuzuha walked
over and sat next to her.
she sighed, a sad smile on her face, "You know Haruhi, envy you..."
"Huh? Why?" Haruhi asked, curious. Yuzuha looked at her, "Because you know my sons better than I do...I can't even tell them apart..."
she said dramatically, "Sometimes I feel like a complete failure as a mother..."
Haruhi frowned, "That's not true, Hikaru and Kaoru adore you, they talk about you all the time."
"But I can't tell them apart...my own sons...I see the looks on their faces whenever I mix them up..." she said guiltily.
Haruhi put her cup of tea down, "It's not that hard really... Kaoru is definitely the more mature, calm one. Hikaru is more mischievous, and
is usualy more childish."
"Really?" Yuzuha asked, raising an eyebrow. Haruhi nodded, "Yeah, another way you can tell them apart is that Kaoru has a little bit of a
pigeon toe, they go slightly inward...like this."
Haruhi moved her feet, to demonstrate. Yuzuha's eye widened slightly, "I've never noticed that..."
Haruhi smiled, "if you really pay attention, it's pretty easy to tell them apart. I'm sure you'll get it soon"
Yuzuha nodded, "I hope so..."
000000ooooo000000
Hikaru and Kaoru came back upstairs. Haruhi and Yuzuha looked at them, smiling.
"So, boys, what'd you dad send you?"
"Oh, just some Ausralian video games and some other stuff like that," Hikaru said. Kaoru held up some photos, "He also sent these pictures."
Yuzuha stood and walked over to him, "let me see..."
he held them out, "sure, mom."
As she took them, they moved back to where Haruhi sat, each picking up their cup of tea and sipping.
She shuffled through them, smiling, "Your father seems to be enjoying himself, doesn't he?"
"Yeah, but I'll bet he's dying to get back here, he's useless without you," Hikaru said smirking, "he's practically invisable..."
Yuzuha smiled at him, "Hikaru, don't be silly, your father is NOT invisable."
000000ooooo000000
The twins dropped their tea cups, causing them to hit the floor and shatter. They looked up at her in complete shock.
"Mom...what did you just say?" Kaoru asked. Yuzuha turned to him, "I just told Hikaru to-"
She froze as well
"I told Hikaru..."
Hikaru and Kaoru walked over to her, serious expressions on their faces.
"Mom...which one of us is Hikaru?"
Yuzuha, he hand shaking a bit, pointed right at Hikaru, "That one."
The twins looked at each other in a bit of a panic. they hurried from the room and returned moments later, dressed in identical new outfits.
"Now which one is Hikaru?"
Yuzuha began to smile a little bit. She pointed at them
"You're Hikaru, and you're Kaoru."
They ran from the room, and returned wearing yet another outfit.
"AND NOW?!"
Yuzuha laughed, pointing yet again, "Hikaru, Kaoru!" she said pointing at them as she said their names.
000000ooooo000000
Hikaru and Kaoru teared up, grinning ear to ear
"MOM!"
They ran at her, wrapping her into an embrace.
"Oh, I could never have done it without Haruhi! she said, whipping around and yanking Haruhi into the hug. Haruhi's face turned red as she struggled
to escape from the hug.
"I didn't even DO anything!"
"Nonsense you little darling, you taught me how different my sons are!" Yuzuha said, tightening her grip as she and the twins snuggled even closer to
her.
"Oh, Haruhi!"
"You're so cute when you care!"
"I'm gonna design all your clothes for free for the rest of your life!"
Haruhi groaned
damn rich people....
