Chapter 6

Physical Exam Suspicion

It was yet another day at the host club. The only difference was that we had been outside as we offered our guest tea and sweets. I was dressed as a butler and I felt like a total idiot. I often wondered why I even bothered being in this club until I remembered I was doing it for Haruhi. I had grown attached to her and felt responsible for her well being. Not to mention she was a great help with school and an amazing friend to have. She wasn't like other girls, which got us to be close. I only wished I could tell her that I was a girl too.

"Are you and the Hitachiin twins angry at each other again?" one of the girls questioned me. I turned to look at her with a frown. Was it really that obvious? Ever since I lied to them yesterday they had been glaring at me or ignoring me. It seemed the only thing I was good at was pissing Hikaru off and have his brother back him up.

I let out a long sigh, "Yeah."

The girls all looked at me with sadness and worry. "I'm sure they will forgive you soon," a long-haired brunette reassured me.

I turned my gaze to the twins as they acted out one of their many 'brotherly love' scenes. I couldn't lie. I was upset that they wouldn't speak to me. Sure, they annoyed the living daylights out of me but I did want to be friends with them. I just didn't particularly like being played like I was some sort of toy. If anything, I should be pissed at them for treating me that way and discarding me whenever something didn't go their way. Yet, I wasn't angry with them. There was something in their eyes that prevented me from hating them. But what was it?

I had been staring at them for too long as they turned to look straight at me. My cheeks flushed from being caught right-handed, heart pounding inside of my chest as I looked away. I cursed inside of my head at how stupid that way. They had already seen me looking at them.

"See? They are coming this way," one of the short-haired girls said to me with a smile.

My body tensed as I felt a pair of arms wrap around my shoulders, breath in my ears, "Can't keep your eyes off of us, huh?"

"Did you want some attention, Adrian?" Kaoru added after his brother.

I sighed, calming down, "More like wondering when you both will forgive me for yesterday."

"That's funny," Hikaru said as he stepped away to cross his arms and look at me, "I don't remember you ever apologizing to us." Kaoru let me go to stand by his brother's side. He stayed silent to give the lead to his older twin.

"I'm just not good with making frie-."

"Nope. Try again," Hikaru cut me off.

"I have trouble letting anyo-."

"Man, you are really bad at this," he said as he looked at me with a look of displeasure and boredom.

My hand twitched at my side before I muttered through clenched teeth, "I'm sorry I lied to you."

His facial features suddenly changed as he sent me a goofy smile, patting my head, "Good job."

I glared at him, "Hikaru, I'm not a dog."

He laughed, "But I trained you well didn't I?" He burst out laughing as he pointed at my face, "You should see your face right now!"

I was angry, annoyed, and not pleased by being treated like a dog and being his little source of entertainment. "I take it back," I said as I crossed my arms and looked away from him, "I'm not apologizing to you."

"It's a little late for that," Kaoru said as he stared at his hysterical brother with a look of confusion and surprise. I followed his gaze to see that Hikaru was still laughing his butt off. I didn't understand what was so funny.

"So, what was really wrong yesterday?" Hikaru asked me once he composed himself and had a look of seriousness.

"Yeah. We were worried," Kaoru said.

"Speak for yourself, Kaoru," Hikaru said as he crossed his arms, "I wasn't worried."

"Did something happen?" one of the girls interrupted. The girls at my table were all curiously looking at us.

"Are you okay, Yukimura-san?" another asked.

I looked between the girls and the twins. The whole garden had gone quiet as if everyone were waiting for my next words. I felt self-conscious and every part of me wanted to choose flight. "I… I uh…" I turned to the girls, "It isn't anything for you to worry about. I just want you all to smile and enjoy your snacks." They all smiled at giggled before going back to chatting amongst themselves.

The twins stepped closer to whisper, "Don't think you are off the hook that easily. We want to know when this is all over." They turned away and back to their own guests.

How am I going to get out of this?

After we had all cleaned up the garden and the twins teased Suoh by showing him that they were able to see Haruhi a lot more each day, we had all began to realize that the physical exams were in two days. While the others were looking at Haruhi about her gender being revealed, I was thinking about how my brother would do pretending to be me all day. But I didn't have much time to think about it before we all began to walk to our own limousines.

I felt a weight on my shoulders before I was able to get to mine. "Now tell us what was wrong yesterday," the twins said in my ears.

I shrugged them off before turning around to face them, "First, why did you part your hair the opposite way?" They both looked at me with a shocked expression.

"How could you tell?" Kaoru asked as if he didn't quite believe it.

I shrugged, "It's kind of obvious to me now." I turned to think about it, "It's hard to explain but it's in your eyes." I turned back to them, "They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul after all. Maybe I can recognize who you are because of that."

Hikaru's lips twisted in a frown, crossing his arms in a huff, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

"Really?" I tilted my head to the side, "Because I've never been wrong."

"He has a point, Hikaru," Kaoru said to his brother as he looked at him, "He has never made a mistake no matter what we have tried to confuse him."

"..." Hikaru looked away as if he couldn't argue with that, "Yeah, well…" He turned to look at me with pursed lips, "I still don't understand why it had to be you."

I blinked at him, "Why it had to be me?"

"Tsk," he said as he pumped my shoulder as he walked passed me, "Don't think you're special just because you can tell us apart. You will have to do better than that to really be our friend."

I turned around to watch them walk away, muttering under my breath, "I wonder what he means by that." I couldn't help but feel relief though. They had forgotten that they had asked me a question. I hoped they would forget it permanently.

(Hikaru's POV)

I was so bored with this day already. The only thing I had to look forward to was Tamaki making a complete fool of himself in front of the whole school during the physical exam. That at least will get a laugh. My eyes turned to where Haruhi and Adrian were talking to each other as the four of us walked in the halls together. There was something off about Adrian that I couldn't quite put my finger on. He acted the same but something was different.

"What do they even do at physical exams at Ouran anyway?" Haruhi asked them.

"What do you mean?" my brother asked her.

"It's not any different than a physical exam at any other school," I informed her, a little amused she would even ask that.

"Yeah. Why would a physical exam be any different for us just because we're rich?" Kaoru finished.

I drowned out the rest of the conversation to observe Adrian. He remained silent at the exchange. Maybe I was feeling something was off because he hardly talked. What is up with him? We entered the large hall as we were greeted with a row of nurses and a row of doctors.

"What is all this?" Haruhi questioned with a look of shock.

"Just a normal physical exam," I said as I stepped into the room with my brother at my side.

"The usual," Kaoru added. We were both carted away by two nurses to get our height measured. Once we were done, I told Kaoru I would be right back and went on the search for Adrian to ask him why he was acting so weird.

"Hey," I called as I spotted him as he waited for a nurse to get him, "Adrian."

He turned to face me with a look of confusion, "Can I help you, Kaoru?"

I stopped in my tracks just a few feet away from him. What the hell? This wasn't right. No matter how many times Kaoru and I had tried to deceive him to mess up our little guessing game, he was always right in figuring out who I was.

"Oh, I was just wondering what you thought about the whole situation with Hikaru," I said as I watched him closely.

I watched him tilt his head as he normally does, "You mean when he gets angry at me?"

"Yeah, sure. That," I said, brushing him off. I didn't really care about it all. I was more suspicious at the fact that he had somehow mixed us up.

He shrugged, "I don't know. I guess he confuses me more than anything else."

"What's so confusing?" I quirked a brow. I still couldn't believe he thought I was Kaoru.

He looked away, "Um…" I narrowed my eyes at him. I couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't the Adrian I knew. How could he be? If he was and he did actually believe that I was Kaoru… My hands clenched at my sides. He would be the same as everyone else. I didn't understand why that pissed me off so much. Maybe it was because for once I thought someone could really tell us apart. But he had been playing us this whole time. Maybe I had been right all along to keep myself from accepting him as my friend. I was taken out of my thoughts as he spoke, "I guess he confuses me because when I feel like we have made process it's like we take two steps back, you know?"

Was he seriously that stupid? Even if I was Kaoru, why would he even tell him that? Was he more comfortable talking to Kaoru over me? I straightened up, coming up with a plan, "What's your favorite color?"

"Blue," his eyes widened, "I mean red… No, burgundy." He laughed awkwardly, "Why would you ask that?"

I looked at him as he fumbled over his words. He had gotten it right at the end. I remembered hearing Adrian say that if he had to pick a rose color that it would be burgundy because it was his favorite color. That was why the host club had given him that color rose. Even our guests agreed to that color because of what it represents. Adrian would never mess up saying his favorite color like that. You really are an imposter. I had caught him red handed. The only question left in my mind is why this imposter was pretending to be Adrian and where the real Adrian was hiding.

"No reason. I was just curious," I said as I started moving back to where Kaoru was waiting. I had a lot of questions to ask Adrian when I saw him next. This time I would force him to tell me.

"Kaoru," I started as I stood with my brother.

"Yeah? What is it, Hikaru?"

"Have you noticed anything weird about Adrian today?" I questioned him as I put my hands in my pockets, my eyes directed to the boy in question.

"No. Why?"

I frowned. Was I really the only one who noticed something was off? I turned to my brother, "Nevermind. Maybe I'm just paranoid or something." I turned my head after I saw his confusion written on his face. My eyes landed on a half-naked Adrian. The girls surrounded him as his exposed chest was now the center of attention. Or maybe... that really isn't Adrian. I didn't understand it but I really hoped I was right.

I hope that Hikaru's POV wasn't too OCC. ^_^' Let me know if you want more of his POV or if I didn't do well and need to improve on it.
