~At Rose's House~

~With Rose~

Artie stopped his car in front of my house. "Call me if anything happens, alright?" he gave me a stern look. Sighing, "Yeah, I will let you know if there are any weirdos about. See ya," waving as I made my way into my house.

Entering the home, the dogs swarmed me as I squatted to their level. "Easy, guys! I'm alright, see, sorry for not coming home last night," petting the two pups as they showered me in kisses. Looking around, I see Starlight on top of the stairs looking back. She tilted her head then left, going to a room *Well, guess that is the warmest welcome I'll get from her* sighing as I got up, wiggling between the two dogs letting them out.

~With Hikaru and Kaoru~

"Hey Hikaru, Rose answered us back. That all is good and thanking us," Kaoru summarized, while Hikaru pulled out his phone as well to check. "That's good then, but what would make her react like that" Hikaru mumbled as he looked at the message again.

"I don't know, but I don't like it. I'm still worried we have seen Rose since she ran from the club," Kaoru resorted as he walked over to his brother. "I got an idea!" Hikaru grinned as he typed and sent a message to Rose.

"What did you do?" Kaoru was trying to look at his phone. "Asking if we can come over to her house is all" Hikaru smirked, making Kaoru mimic him. A ding disrupted them, but its response made grins take over their faces. "Our lord is going to greatly upset…." Kaoru began, "That we get to go to Rose's home before him," Hikaru finished.

~With Rose~

*Wonder when those two will arrive?* as I pet Ludwig with his head in my lap. a knock pulled our attention as he rushed to the door first with Bella behind him. "Guess that answers my question" standing up as I squeezed past them to open the door.

There stood Hikaru and Kaoru smiling at me while Ludwig poked his head on my one side. "Okay, Mr. Nosey, sorry guys, come on in" as I got the dogs to back up. The boys enter the house shutting the door behind them.

"Hey, guy!" smiling at them as they look around my house. "Hey Rose," Kaoru greeted me with a small smile as Hikaru was silently still taking in everything. "This place is small," Hikaru announce, making my eyes roll. "Well, considering I only live here, it's still pretty big," placing a hand on my hip.

Hikaru's face turned red as he began to sputter. "Relax, no harm done. So why did you want to visit" I laughed as I led them to the living room. Hikaru calmed down. "Well, you left suddenly yesterday..." He responded, "So we wanted to check on you" Kaoru finished as we took our seats.

"Uh-huh... well, as you can see, I'm okay. tired more than anything," showing a tired grin. "If you don't mind, what happened?" Kaoru asked as Ludwig shoved his head in Hikaru's lap for pets. Bella mimicked Ludwig but with Kaoru as the boys began to give them love.

"I was going to tell you all together, but that okay...someone leaked fake information about how I am the sole heir to my father's company. So that causes a whole lot of commotion. My brother wanted me over as soon as possible in case a report cornered me since I had no clue this happened." rubbing my forehead at the memory of yesterday's chaos.

Looking at the two boys who held angry in their face, "Guys, it's okay. We handled it, as much as it sucked," trying to calm them down. "Do you know who did this?" Hikaru asks as his hands turn into fists. Moving, I placed myself between them and grabbed to hold a hand each. "No, it was anonymous, sadly. But we reversed most of the damage," squeezing their hands *I have an idea but no proof sorry guys* with a smile.

Kaoru looked at our hand, then at me. "Is there anything we can do?" he asked me. thinking I jumped up and rushed to my television cabinet. "Do you guys play video games? Today will be a lazy day in if you want to join," smiling back as I showed them where the hidden systems were. Both of them grinned. "We're in," exclaimed together as they rushed to help me set up.

~Fast Forward~

"Hikaru, you're cheating!" as he passes me in the game. "No, you just suck, Rose!" Hikaru stuck his tongue out at me fueled my rage. Kaoru looked between us and laughed, "You two are so competitive," then back at the game. "No, I'm not!" Hikaru and I yelled simultaneously, then glared at one another.

The screen yelled finished catching our attention that Kaoru finished first. Snapping to the other Twin who was laughing, I looked back to Hikaru "Truce" with my hand out. He looked at it, then grabbed it, shaking it. "Truce," Hikaru agreed. Kaoru stopped laughing. "Oh, come on, you two!" throwing his hands up.

The three of us started laughing hysterically. "Okay, who has a phone?" I asked between giggles. Kaoru pulled his phone out, handing it to me. "Here, why do you need it?" as I mess with it to bring up the camera. "Simple, I need a photo of this memorable day. Get in here!" as we squeezed together cheeks touch one another, the Twin's arms around my waist. I took the nice phone of us then sent it to myself and Hikaru *Today more than enough made up from yesterday* smiling at the happy picture.
