"You're an idiot Kaoru," Hikaru said, voice barely above a whisper as he retracted his claws which were less than a millimeter away from Kaoru's throat. The vampire stood before his look-a-like, features reverting back to normal. "I could have just killed you, and you chose to just stand there. You're an idiot." Kaoru smiled and chuckled. Everyone around them simply stood in shocked silence, for just a few seconds ago a rampaging vampire was about to strike, and now said vampire was standing there, looking like he never changed in the first place. Well, besides the scratches, gashes, and bruises that seemed to cover every visible part of his body.

"I knew you couldn't kill me, so does that really make me an idiot?" Kaoru asked, and Hikaru narrowed his golden eyes and gave a low growl.

"Yes. What if I didn't have enough self control to stop? I already…" he trailed off, gaze shifting awkwardly to the bite mark visible on Kaoru's neck to the floor. The teen shrugged.

"It's nothing. There are worse things that could happen to a person, and if I wasn't here to stop you and Kyouya-san from fighting then you both would have been killed." He shook his head. "I'd happily risk my life to prevent that from happening."

"This is all my fault, I do believe," Kyouya said, stepping up beside Kaoru. Hikaru looked at him and frowned, clenching his hands at his sides.

"It's okay, Hikaru. Everything's okay," he said soothingly to the angry vampire. Kyouya nodded his head, crossing his arms and taking a step closer to Hikaru.

"I don't expect you to forgive me, but I just wanted to tell you that this whole time, I was the one it the wrong." He held up the letter he read a few moments ago. "Fuyumi… everything you've told me before was true. I found her suicide letter, well; Kaoru found it and showed it to me." The vampire king got down on one knee and bowed his head towards the now stunned looking Hikaru. "Please, I hope you can find it in your heart to accept my apology."

The whole room was silent, everyone staring in shock at the scene going on before their eyes. Hikaru's mouth opened and closed, looking more and more like a fish out of water, before he finally found his voice.

"I think Kaoru's the one you should be begging for forgiveness from, not me. You've wronged him more than me." Kyouya looked up in surprise and turned towards Kaoru who nodded happily.

"We forgive you!" he smiled. Suddenly, Tamaki appeared beside them.

"Hold on a second, a simple apology isn't going to make me forget all of the crimes you've committed in the past! I should shoot you down here and now!" He growled, and Honey and Mori appeared beside the hunter.

"Calm down, Tama-chan," Honey said, ushering the violet-eyed teen to lower his voice. "I don't know if humans can tell, but this mansion is very unstable." Tamaki, Kaoru, Hikaru, and Kyouya looked around the large room and noticed that almost all of the pillars holding the ceiling up were destroyed or damaged from the fighting that just took place. Kaoru's face fell.

This building… it really is unstable. One more pillar destroyed and the ceiling could collapse. He turned towards Hikaru. Though Kaoru didn't show it, facing death in the face twice in as many minutes was really taking it's toll on him, along with the fact he'd been moving around so much that his body, already weak from lack of blood, was even weaker. His hands were cold yet his face felt like it was on fire. He could just barely hide his shaking as well.

"We need to get everyone out of here. Do you have more vampire subordinates somewhere around here?" he asked, and Kyouya scanned Kaoru up and down, placing a finger to his lips.

"Shiro-kun and Kasanoda should be the only ones here at present. I ordered the rest to leave just before you arrived." Honey turned towards Mori to find he had already disappeared. Kyouya continued. "Kaoru, don't worry about anything. You and Tamaki should sit down and rest. Your barely holding on as it is."

"I don't need to hear that from you," Tamaki spat. "You're the reason I'm like this!" Kyouya looked at Tamaki, face blank. He didn't say anything for the longest moment before bowing his head.

"You're right, but don't worry. I plan to make it up do you," he said. Tamaki raised an eyebrow and Kaoru opened his mouth to ask what he meant when the group turned to see Haruhi running towards them.

"Guys! Is everyone okay?" she gasped out, breath gone from running towards them. The brunette girl stepped on a rock and she fell forward, landing on the ground. The rock flew out from under her foot and hit the severely damaged pillar, cracking it even more and causing it to crumble to the ground.

"Haruhi!" Kaoru gasped out at the girl and ran towards her with Hikaru, Tamaki a few feet ahead.

"Are you hurt?" the blond asked, and the girl sat up and nodded.

"Only my pride," the girl muttered and Honey ran up to the three.

"Guys, we have bigger problems!" he shouted out, pointing towards the ceiling that was beginning to crack without support. Suddenly, a large piece of it fell to the ground, twenty feet from the small group. The ground shook furiously and Kaoru shot up.

"Guys, we need to—" he started, instantly his vision went black and his strength, reaching its limit, depleted. He fell backwards, unconscious, into the arms on Kyouya.

"Kaoru!" Hikaru shouted, standing up and scrambling towards the human being cradled by the vampire king. He narrowed his eyes at the scene. "Give him to me," he said and Kyouya smiled, handing the teen to the orange haired vampire.

"Possessive, aren't we?" he smirked before shaking his head. "Anyways, there's no time to get upset over something like this. You have to get out of here." More pieces of the ceiling fell as the roof seemed to shift, cracking more pillars under the stress. The sky seemed to rain debris and the ground continued to shake. "There's an underground exit in the basement, its safer down there. I wouldn't risk staying up here any longer with the plaster falling like this."

"You're not coming?" Hikaru asked, raising an eyebrow as he cradled Kaoru in his arms bridal style. Kyouya smirked and shook his head.

"I should stay here. I believe this is a proper end to a life that has caused to many others pain." He looked over at Tamaki who was kneeling on the ground beside Haruhi, looking up at him in shock. "This should suffice for the damage I've done to you," he said. The ground trembled again as more cracks split open to create tiny trenches, the remaining pillars moaning under the weight of the roof. Tamaki stood up and walked over towards Kyouya.

"I don't care if you die or not, but think about how Kaoru would feel!" he said. He narrowed his violet eyes and looked over at the unconscious teen. "I don't know what he sees in vampires, but if he was willing to risk his life to save you then there's obviously a reason. Don't let all the trouble he went through to save you go to waste."

Kyouya was silent for a few moments, eyes wide in shock at what the blond had just said. Tamaki was standing there, his arms crossed, looking off in the other direction with a light blush on his face at his embarrassing outburst. Never before had he actually encouraged a vampire to live. It was weird. The raven haired vampire gave a soft smile and shook his head.

"I'm sure he'd understand." He said, and instantly Tamaki pulled out a gun and shot Kyouya square on the chest. Everything seemed to freeze as Kyouya's limp body fell to the ground. Haruhi screamed and Honey gasped and looked over at Tamaki.

"Tama-chan, you—" he started, and Tamaki put the gun away, smoke still coming out of the barrel.

"Relax, it was a sleeping dart. I forgot I had one left over from the other day while on the job. I don't think he would have willingly come with us any other way." He walked over and bent down, scooping the sleeping vampire into his arms. "I honestly can't believe I'm doing this. If the rest of the clan found out about this then my days as a hunter are numbered." Hikaru stared in awe at the hunter but didn't say anything out of fear of hurting his pride. He did, however, give a slight smile and said thank you.

"I'm sure Kaoru would appreciate it," he quickly added. Tamaki didn't say anything as he turned towards Honey and Haruhi.

"Okay, we need to get out of here. Where's Morinozuka?" he asked, looking around. Honey sidestepped a piece of debris that fell from the ceiling and almost hit him.

"I think he went in the basement." Honey said. "He's looking for Kasanoda-chan." Tamaki nodded his approval.

"Good, then he's already where he needs to be. Let's head down there!" He called out, and everyone (awake) nodded, taking off and following him. Hikaru looked down at Kaoru who was still unconscious in his arms. Guilt washed over him and he gripped the teen tighter. The teen was pale, his breathing shallow, and a thin sheet of sweat glistened when they passed light, though his body felt cold. It was all his fault.

"Sorry, Kao…please be okay," he said, staring back up ahead to follow Tamaki, dodging falling ceiling pieces and debris as he did so.

Mori scanned the darkness with his eyes, looking for any form of life. It was a little difficult, however, because clouds of dirt from the shaking of the walls and ceiling clouded his vision. He inhaled some and began coughing, still weaving through the crumbling basement.

"Kasanoda!" He called out. Some shuffling could be heard behind him and something tackled Mori from behind and onto the ground.

"Come back down here to kill me? To finish the job?" Kasanoda's voice growled through the dust and Mori pushed him off and stood up.

"You're wrong, I came to get you out of here."

"I'd rather die then be saved by you, traitor!" the redhead growled, standing up and getting in position to attack. Mori stood there calmly.

"I want you to live. Get out of here with us," he said, and Kasanoda shook his head.

"With you, that blond shrimp, the human girl, and that pathetic excuse of a vampire Hikaru? I think not."

"Kyouya's coming too, with us," he said. The red-headed vampire shook his head.

"Liar, he wouldn't go anywhere with the likes of you!"

"Kasanoda," Mori's voice was hard and cold through the darkness. "Stop." Kasanoda smirked and crossed his arms.

"I don't listen to you anymore. If I go with you and live, I'll simply keep trying to kill you. Maybe I'll even tell your little blond toy the secret you've been keeping from him all this time." Mori's eyes widened in surprise.

"How did you—"

"I have my ways," Kasanoda smirked. "Like I said before, I'd rather die then go with you." Suddenly, a large piece of the earth-made ceiling fell right on top of the angry and hateful vampire, completely covering his body.

"Kasanoda!" Mori screamed out, running towards where the vampire once stood. "Kasanoda!" he attempted to dig through the brick-hard earth and lift it up, but it was too heavy for him, and after years of hardening, he couldn't penetrate it with his hands. "Kasanoda!"

"Takashi!" Honey called out through the darkness. Mori looked over to see the small blond running towards him, Tamaki carrying an unconscious Kyouya behind him, followed by Haruhi and Hikaru carrying an unconscious Kaoru. "Takashi, did you find Kasanoda-chan?" Mori was about to nod when all of a sudden the ground gave a powerful jolt as a large thundering sound could be heard from above them.

"Another pillar must have given out," Hikaru said, voice plain, masking his panic. "Let's get moving people!" Honey looked up at Mori, who seemed even more expressionless.

"Are you okay, Takashi?" Honey asked as the group broke off in a run down the stone corridor that was shaking more violently with each passing minute. Mori nodded and ran a little faster, scooping Haruhi up onto his back so that they could move faster. Hikaru ran right behind Tamaki, or at least who he thought was Tamaki. His eyes were useless in the dark. Hikaru wanted to curse up and down for his eyes being that way, but when he thought about it, it was his eyes that allowed him to meet Kaoru.

A large part of the dirt ceiling came crashing down in front of them, blocking the path.

"We'll have to go around," Honey said, turning on his feet and running back in the opposite direction, taking a left at the first corridor. The others followed behind him, Tamaki letting out a small groan of pain at putting too much stress on his wounds by running. Honey made another left and the others followed suite, quickly stopping when that path was blocked as well.

"We're stuck, the paths to the exits are blocked!" Tamaki shouted over the rumbling, and he shifted Kyouya in his arms and turned back around, quickly jumping backwards as another clod of stone and dirt fell before him.

"Now what? We're trapped!" Haruhi said, clutching Mori's neck tighter in fear. Everyone seemed to glance nervously at each other. The girl scowled. "What're those looks for? We can't give up!"

"She's right," Hikaru said. "There's gotta be something we can do!" Everyone went silent as more debris fell from the ceiling.

At this rate, we'll be squashed, Hikaru thought, clutching Kaoru tighter. I'm glad he isn't awake to see the mess we're in.

"Let's make our own exit," Tamaki finally said, smile forming on his face. Mori turned towards him.

"The dirt is too hard, we can't just break through it," he said in his usual monotone voice. Tamaki nodded and set Kyouya down on the ground gently, reaching into his coat and pulling out a small orb. He rushed over to the blockage in front of them and threw the orb into it.

"I can't believe I forgot about this," he said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a switch. He pressed down. "Everyone, back up. If the ceiling doesn't fall due to the explosion then we may get out of this yet."

"Explosion?" Haruhi asked the blond who ran back over to Kyouya and scooped him back up. Tamaki nodded.

"It's a micro bomb. Very small but very powerful. I just hope the shock waves aren't strong enough to cause the ceiling to topple on us."

Suddenly, the bomb went off and the whole corridor was swarmed by a cloud of dust. Everyone began coughing as Tamaki stepped back in front of the group.

"It worked, lets hurry!" he shouted, and took off running through the manmade hole in the blockade. They continued down the path when the ground shook violently yet again, causing Hikaru to stumble. He almost dropped Kaoru but jumped forward and caught him just as a piece of earth came crashing down towards him.

"I got it!" A voice shouted, and Hikaru and the group looked up to see Shiro jumping forward and kicking the large debris away from the vampire and teen. The boy vampire looked up at the group. "I didn't think I'd ever catch up," he said. "I have no interest in dying here, so let's keep moving," he said and rushed in front of Tamaki. The group stared dumbly for a few seconds before continuing down the path.

Thank god, Hikaru mentally breathed as be bent his head down to place it on top of Kaoru's. I thought we were gonners. If Shiro wasn't there, we would have been. Hikaru looked up ahead and called out to Shiro.

"Thanks for the save, Shiro," he said and the boy looked back at him.

"We're even now," he said. Hikaru nearly stopped to think about what he had said when he remembered Shiro had shot him with a vampire hunter gun. He smirked and nodded.

"Definitely."

"I'm seeing some light!" Tamaki said happily and everyone seemed to run a little faster. Some crashing sounds could be heard and Hikaru turned to see the ceiling giving out just a few feet behind them. Then again a few feet later.

"The whole place is giving out, hurry up guys!" Hikaru shouted, mainly because he was the last person in the very back. They all rushed, barely ahead of the crumbling ceiling. Tamaki positioned Kyouya over his shoulder and pulled out his gun, shooting several bullets towards the source of the light. Glass could be heard shattering and the group ran even faster, bursting through the small, square shaped source of light and into fresh air. However, they couldn't stop running.

The grass they were standing on seemed to cave in, and if they stopped then they would sink into the ground. They continued running, Hikaru turning around and looking back towards what once was a large and extravagant mansion. The ceiling was completely gone, the whole place seemed to cave in on itself. The ground in front of it was caving in as well from the secret corridors underground. The beautiful fountain turned out to be their means of escape, as the square shaped opening showed from the side of it as Hikaru watched it sink into the ground and shatter.

Only when they got to the street did they find it safe to stop running. Tamaki gasped for breath as he set Kyouya down and collapsed right next to him on the pavement. "Everyone…okay?" he asked and everyone nodded save for Kyouya and Kaoru.

"I think we should take Kaoru to a hospital," Hikaru said, stepping towards the blond. "You too," he added. Tamaki nodded.

"I…think….that sounds…like a good…idea," he said. He stood up and picked Kyouya back up.

"Tamaki-sempai, let Mori-san carry Kyouya-san. You're injured," she said. "I can walk so he doesn't have to carry me."

"No, I'll carry him," Tamaki said. Haruhi looked a little confused and Tamaki flashed her a charming smile before walking past her down the road. "The hospital's this way, right?"

"Thank you so much, Kaoru-kun," Fuyumi's voice said into the darkness. Kaoru was laying there resting, his once cold body feeling warm again as he floated in the nothingness. "At last, I can rest peacefully with the man I love. I can never thank you enough!"

"I'm just happy we could save both Kyouya and Hikaru." He said with a smile. "Hikaru's so important to me,"

"I know how you feel, that's why I couldn't stand to watch my brother suffer. He's important to me as well, though in a different way then Hikaru is to you."

Kaoru raised an eyebrow. "Because he's your brother?"

"Yes and no," Fuyumi said, and Kaoru could have sworn he could feel her smiling at him though he couldn't see her.

"I don't get it," he sighed. Fuyumi chuckled.

"Maybe you will here in the near future. Hikaru doesn't seem like the type to stay silent for very long."

"I still don't understand what you mean," he sighed. "Oh well, I guess you should be going now, right?" he asked.

"That's right, I've kept him waiting for ten years. Goodbye, Kaoru Hitachiin. Thank you so much, and may you be happy with your most cherished person."

Kaoru opened his eyes to a white room.

Beeping could be heard off to the side, and pain shot through his body when he tried to sit up. Scanning the room, his eyes rested on the sleeping form of Hikaru next to his bedside, head on the bed and pale, cool hand resting on his own. Kaoru couldn't help but smile. He then looked over to see Kyouya leaning against the wall on the opposite side of him, eyes closed and head bowed. Kaoru fully sat up despite the sluggish feeling he had and noticed that he was in a hospital room, the beeping coming from one of the many monitors that sat beside his bed. The stirring woke Hikaru up, who slowly looked up at him, both matching sets of golden eyes meeting. Instantly, he shot up.

"Kaoru, Kaoru, you're awake! Are you okay? How do you feel?" he asked, buzzing around the teen like a mother hen. The scene felt all too familiar to Kaoru, back when he just woke up out of his comatose state and his mother was bombarding him with questions.

"How should I feel?" Kaoru asked, voice scratchy from being silent for so long. "I'm in a hospital," he smiled. Hikaru seemed to relax a little and smiled softly back at him.

"Well, after the incident at Kyouya's, you've been out for a week. The doctors said you were comatose from severe trauma and didn't know how long you'd be like this." Looking down, Hikaru let out a small gasp when he realized he was still holding Kaoru's hand. "Sorry about that." Kaoru chuckled.

"It's fine, I'm glad you were there to comfort me." Kyouya walked up to Kaoru's bed and smiled.

"Glad to see you're doing fine. I'll go get the doctors to look at you." He flipped his hair back, and for the first time Kaoru noticed Kyouya was wearing glasses. "The other's are in Tamaki's room, and he's supposed to be released today. I think with a little convincing, if you're up to it then we can have you released today as well."

Kaoru smiled happily. "Thanks, Kyouya-san." He said. Kyouya pushed up his newly attained glasses and smirked.

"It's Kyouya-sempai now, I believe." He said. Kaoru sat up straighter and cocked his head to the side in confusion.

"why?" he asked.

"Because, Kaoru, I've just enrolled in Ouran Academy."

"No way, you guys too?" Kaoru asked, looking over at Honey and Mori as the group walked down the street away from the hospital. Kaoru had to use a wheelchair for a few days, but other than that everyone seemed as good as new.

"It was the plan that Tamaki had every one of us agree to," Kyouya said, walking beside Kaoru as Honey pushed his wheelchair happily.

"That's right, Kao-chan. Tama-chan said that if we all wanted to stay alive then we needed to be where he could monitor us all to make sure we weren't doing anything suspicious."

"I can't have four vampires running around unsupervised. Especially that one," Tamaki said, pointing at Hikaru.

"What? Why me?" The orange haired vampire growled in annoyance, and everyone laughed.

"Tama-chan sounds just like a daddy," Honey said happily, and Tamaki gasped at the name.

"That's right! Starting today, I'm a father to you all! Which means you have to do everything I say!"

"No thanks, Tamaki-sempai," Haruhi mumbled with her arms crossed. Honey giggled and began twirling Kaoru around in his wheelchair.

"M-maybe Haruhi should push!" Kaoru shouted dizzily, and Haruhi smiled and took the wheelchair away. Hikaru glanced over at Kyouya and seemed to slow his pace down so that he was farther away from the rest of the group. Kyouya looked at him and did the same.

"I feel like you want to tell me something," Kyouya said with a smile. Hikaru rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"It's nothing really… but… by chance, do you know the reason why Kaoru and I look alike?" he asked. Kyouya was silent for a few moments, a contemplating look on his face.

"I do not," he finally said. "I'm afraid I can't help you there." Hikaru scowled.

"Why do I get the feeling that you're not telling me something?" he asked, and the bespecled man smiled.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, but when you do find out I would love to hear the reason. It's something that makes me curious." The golden eyed vampire raised an eyebrow.

"Really?" he asked, and the king nodded.

"Of course, I always want to know everything I can about the person I'm interested in."

Hikaru nearly had a heart attack.

"What! What are you saying? You creep! First you try to kill him and now you're interested in him?" He glared daggers. "You better stay away if you know what's good for you, he's not yours anymore." Kyouya laughed.

"Relax, I just wanted to see your reaction. Dare I say you do not disappoint. This will be a fun game, I believe," he said and walked faster to catch up to the others. Hikaru froze, brain processing what the dark haired man had just said.

"Hey wait, jerk!" he shouted, running to catch up with him.

Honey listened to the commotion from behind them and smiled softly.

"I looked for his scent, but I didn't find him." He said to Mori. The taller vampire was silent. "I asked Kyou-chan about him, and he said that he hadn't heard anything. I hope he's okay."

Maybe I'll even tell your little blond toy the secret you've been keeping from him all this time.

"Mitsukuni," Mori said as the flashback slapped him across the face. The blond looked up at him and Mori ruffled his hair.

"You'll find him eventually. Yasuchika's strong, just like his older brother." Honey smiled brightly.

"Chika-chan is growing up to be pretty strong, I wish I could find him to tell him that. I won't give up though!" he said. Mori nodded and went back to looking straight ahead. The sun was setting so the town seemed to glow orange.

Tamaki looked over beside him to see Kyouya walking in step with him.

"Don't think for a second that I'm going to let my guard down around you," he said, though his voice wasn't as dark and menacing as before.

"I heard you carried me the whole time after you forcefully knocked me out and brought me with you. How sweet," Kyouya retaliated, causing Tamaki to cross his arms. "It was his memories though, wasn't it? You remembered the friendship he and I had and could feel it through you, so you felt the urge to help me. I bet you would have saved me with or without Kaoru." Tamaki rolled his eyes.

"Looks like we'll never know," he muttered, cheeks pink. "Just be glad you're alive and kicking."

"I am, thank you. And rest assured, I'm not a bad vampire, I've just made some bad choices. We all do that," he said. Tamaki sighed.

"Just don't let it happen again. I'm keeping an even bigger eye on you, so you're the club's vice president and this time, I'm the king."

"Club?" Kyouya asked, raising an eyebrow. Tamaki nodded.

"Of course, kind of like a daddy day care. I need to be able to monitor you guys for a while after school as well, so why not make it like a little club? A secret vampire club where I'm the ruler and my children bow to me!" Kyouya laughed and pushed up his glasses.

"Some things never change. You're the same as you were a hundred years ago." Tamaki gave a small smile and ran to go catch up with Haruhi and Kaoru.

The two were home at last. Renge was dealt with by Kyouya while Kaoru was in the hospital, so there was no raging vampire loose anywhere. Kaoru stepped out of the wheelchair and sighed.

"Looks like my mom and dad didn't make it home," he said, voice blank. Hikaru didn't say anything, just helped Kaoru make it up the steps and into his room. Not once did he say a word.

"Hikaru, are you alright?" Kaoru asked after a while of sitting on his bed in silence. Hikaru looked up, golden eyes meeting Kaoru's matching ones. The teen nearly gasped at the pain and sadness his mirror image's had. "What happened?"

"Kaoru, I'm leaving." Hikaru said, standing up from the bed. Kaoru sat there, stunned silent.

"…What? Why?" he finally asked, not sure if he wanted to know the answer. Hikaru turned and looked back at him.

"Why?" he asked. "Kaoru, look at you. Look at what I did to you! I hurt you and attempted to hurt you too many times. What if I kill you next time? I wouldn't be able to live with myself!"

Kaoru stood up, eyes wide as he listened to the vampire.

"If you leave, you will kill me!" he shouted back. "Hikaru, you're so important to me, and in such a short amount of time we've been through so much. I-If you leave… I'll have no one…" he said, voice growing silent the more he talked. "I'll be alone again…"

"You have the others now. Tamaki, Haruhi, Honey-san and Mori-san, Kyouya…"

"I always want to know everything I can about the person I'm interested in."

Hikaru shook that thought away and looked back at Kaoru. "If I stay here, I'll only cause you trouble."

"Fine by me," Kaoru said. "What's life without a little trouble here and there?" Hikaru raised an eyebrow.

"Your parents will freak out when they see me," he said.

"Nothing a little vampire hypnotism can't fix," Kaoru replied jokingly. Hikaru narrowed his eyes.

"What if you get attacked by more vampires after revenge?"

"Then I'll have you there to help me," he smiled. Hikaru couldn't help but smile, as this conversation seemed to mirror the very first one they had together. He walked up to Kaoru and wrapped his arms around his thin frame, resting his head on the teen's shoulder. The scent of Kaoru's blood filled his nose, only despite how good it smelled and had tasted on his lips, he found that he didn't want it anymore.

"Why do you have to be so much more cuter than me, despite the fact we're twins?" he laughed, and Kaoru laughed too.

"I don't know, maybe it's the whole "Uke" thing the girls at school kept mentioning the first time they saw our act." He suggested. Hikaru simply rested there, not feeling the urge to move.

Act. The act he and Kaoru did to tease the girls.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you loved our little human friend."

The words Kyouya had told him back when he got kidnapped rang in his mind.

Love? Did he really love Kaoru?

"Hey, Kaoru," Hikaru said, raising his head up a little but keeping his chin on the teen's shoulder.

"Yeah?" Kaoru asked happily.

I love you, Hikaru tested the words inside his head. They felt so right, there was no way they couldn't be true. He, Hikaru, one of the strongest vampires around, had fallen in love with a human who looked just like him.

"Never mind," he said, pulling out of the hug. "I'm tired, let's go to bed." Kaoru laughed.

"Okay, chill out. Let me get my pajamas on." He said, and turned to walk away. Hikaru watched the teen's retreating back and frowned. He couldn't tell him, it wasn't the right time. Especially since he wasn't sure Kaoru even felt the same way. There was one thing, however, he wanted to let the teen know.

"Kaoru," Hikaru said, and said teen turned to look back at the vampire.

"What?"

Hikaru smirked. "I won't lose to Kyouya-sempai." Kaoru stood there for a minute, brow furrowed in thought as he tried to find the hidden meaning behind the statement. Giving up, he laughed.

"Whatever you say, Hikaru." He smiled and walked away. Hikaru nodded to himself and smiled.

"Let the game begin."

"I heard Kyouya-sama went soft and is now interacting with the mice." One voice said.

"Shame, I couldn't get over the way he ruled his section with an iron fist. Typical of a male to go and screw up a good thing." A second voice said.

"You could do so much better, Benibara-sama! Maybe we should take over his district and make you the ruler! You'll be so much better than he ever was!"

"I love the way you think, Chizuru dear. And while we're at it, we can have a bite to eat, or two, or three." Benibara said.

"Amazing!" the voice labeled "Chizuru" said happily. "I look forward to it!"

"As do I, my dears. First, however, I believe we need to recruit some more members to the Zuka club."

A/N

There you have it! The final chapter of the first arc! YES! I said arc! I decided to do a sequel after all, seeing as so many people really liked this story. Give yourselves a big pat on the back! I'm so proud of everyone! I'm so glad you liked this story! And here it all started with just a thought of Kaoru running in a dark alley, tripping and being attacked by a sexy vampire. I'm actually sad that this arc ended, because I was really fond of it. I hope the ending wasn't too cheesy, because I was actually quite satisfied with it. I believe I left plenty of room for a sequel though I doubt the second arc wont be nearly as long as the first. 21 chapters is way too long for the first part of a story! I'm not writing a novel! Though it's on my bucket list ^^

Anyways, I suppose you want a summary of what's going to be going on next arc. Well, I'm sure you can tell we have a few plot holes that need filling, for example, Why are Hikaru and Kaoru twins? Where is Honey's brother and what happened to him? What is Mori's secret? Does Kyouya know more about the twins then he's letting on? Can Hikaru confess his feelings for Kaoru before Kyouya wins him over? Does Kaoru feel the same, or more of a brotherly type love? What will become of Tamaki and Haruhi's relationship? Could Tamaki possibly feel for another?

So, I'll give you a small crappy summery because, in case you haven't noticed, I really suck at them. Really, if you read the summary to this story you'd see that! Haha

Next Arc: Things couldn't be better for Kaoru and his friends. He never feels alone, he has no more nightmares, and he spends every day with his most important person. His parents even came home to see him! But despite everything being so perfect, Kaoru can't shake the feeling something's off. After meeting three strange girls from a nearby school, the feelings are confirmed when weird things keep happening to him. Are the girls the key to learning about his connection with Hikaru?

Yeah, sucky summary, it doesn't even explain a fourth of what will really happen, but I didn't want to make it a page explaining everything so I'll deal with it. I might change it when I upload the next chapter, but I hope it encourages you to stick around for a while!

Any comments, questions, or input please feel free to let me know! They make me feel really good. I like knowing people liked what I wrote! I might not update in a while because im in JAPAN! No one I've met speaks English very well, but I get by. Its fun, really. I start school here soon too! I don't speak a whole lot of Japanese so wish me luck!

See you next time!
