"Where have you been?" Hikarou's voice is soft, and hurt sounding.
"I was cooking with Ebira," Kaoru explains easily.
"Cooking? You were cooking?" he asks in disbelief.
"Well yeah, I wanted to learn and she taught me a couple of recipes," Kaoru says a little defensively.
"You have been spending a lot of time with her," his brother points out.
"Am I not allowed to make new friends now? I thought because of how you felt about Haruhi you wouldn't mind so much," Kaoru points out. Hikarou flushes hotly, and turns away.
"I think we both know that she is more interested in Tamaki," he whispers sadly.
"Perhaps, but you will never know unless you talk to her about it. There is still a chance you could get together with her," Kaoru tries to encourage his brother.
"Perhaps," Hikarou turns back to face his brother. "I am just very concerned about you. You never keep secrets from me, and now you are staying out late," he says.
"Come on, lets go to bed," Kaoru says.
"Fine, but I'm still worried," he says. The two lie down in their seperate beds. Hikarou looks a little sad, but falls asleep quickly from being so tired.
Kaoru stays awake a little longer than his brother. He wants to sleep, but there are just so many thoughts floating around in his head at the moment. He has been a huge fan of Ebira since she first started making music. Though he started having feelings for her when she released her first and last love song. It was haunting, and eery. It was like she was talking directly to him, and he was so sad when she announced that she needed to take a break to rest her voice.
He never thought in a million years, that he would have the chance to actually meet her. He never even considered what her gender was. He loved her anyways. He rolls over, and covers his face with his hands. The way she had been dressed when she opened the door earlier that day, had caused a very new feeling to rise within him. He felt the urge to punch the others staring at her. He sighs, before falling asleep.

The next day, Ebira wakes up actually feeling refreshed. Getting dressed for school, she hurries through breakfast. When she opens her door, Haruhi is already waiting for her. "I totally called you ending up with one of the twins. It was only a matter of time," she teases.
"Don't be silly Haruhi. I did not hook up with Kaoru, yet," she assures her friend, who laughs at the yet part.
"Perhaps not yet, but at some point I am sure you will. You chose the softer spoken out of the two which is sure to mean fewer migraines," she says with a fond of smile thinking of the trouble making twins.
"Have you any idea, why he is so interested in me?" Ebira asks her longest friend.
"Well, I heard him say that he was a huge fan of your music," she says with a shrug.
"So even though you are in the same class as them you know very little about them huh?" I ask her in disbelief.
"Well what do you want me to do? Do a complete back ground check on all of my class mates like Kyoya?" she asks.
"heck no, but maybe actually show a little interest. I can tell that Hikarou likes you, but you are far too focused on Tamaki to see any of the other boys most of the time," Ebira teases back.
"You have barely spent any time with anyone other than myself and Kaoru, so how could you possibly know any of this?" sha asks. I don't answer though because we have reached the school, and I prefer to keep private conversations just that. Private. Almost immediately Kaoru has his arm looped around my shoulders, and Hikarou is mirroring his brother on Haruhi.
"Do you two just wait around for us to get to school?" I ask.
"Well yeah, I like to start my day right by looking upon such beauty," Kaoru says. I pretend to gag at his sugary sweet tone of voice. He fakes being hurt, then we both laugh. Hikarou just glares, but others in the area sems to be smiling at us. There are also several bluching faces within view as well.
"What does our glorious King have planned for us today?" I ask.
"You will simply have to wait and see," Kaoru winks at me, and I feel myself actually blush at that. Damn, but he can be cute!
