Authors Notes:
Hey! Once again, I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long, but we had end of year exams and its almost long holidays/Christmas… I should be able to finish this story before then though…
Note: My original plan was to have this chapter as the very last chapter, and make it really really long, but only one reviewer gave me advice on whether I should split it up or not, so I am taking their advice and splitting it up…
It'll probably be better this way anyways, so yeah… now there is only one more chapter after this one!
Sorry!
Oh and PLEASE REVIEW! I didn't get that many reviews last time I updated… and that put a downer on my ego… so please review!
Rightio, on with the story!

Takuya looked up at the clock, bored and curious as hell. It read 3:00pm… only 15minutes left of Music. He seemed to be the only one bored out of his mind though, they were learning how to play the guitar, and he, being musically challenged, was counting down the seconds.
He looked down at the guitar in his hands. He'd already broken the strings 2 times this lesson, and the teacher had told him not to touch another instrument again until he had supervision, and then had walked off and taught someone else how to pluck the strings.
(a/n: ok.. I am not a guitar player… I play the saxophone… I have no idea how you are supposed to play guitars, so I am sorry if I am wrong.)
Takuya turned his eyes across to his 'friends'. Kari was giggling as Takeru showed her how to pluck the strings, although he had been showing her all lesson. Takuya just had a sneaking suspicion that Takeru just liked to have his arms round her waist.
He was just wondering whether the teacher would realise what T.k was doing when a yell was heard.
"Takaishi! STOP flirting with your girlfriend and PICK UP YOUR GUITAR!"
Everyone stopped to look at Takeru and Kari. The boys seemed to glare at Takeru, and the girls were secretly making death threats to Kari in their heads.
Takeru smiled sheepishly and broke his arms away from his crimson-eyed goddess and picked up his guitar, carelessly strumming chords across its perfect strings, he sat across from Kari, who was singing the words to his brothers' song softly under her breath.
"Nervous?" Takeru whispered across to his new girlfriend.
Hikari giggled softly. "With all the excitement of seeing you again, I sort of forgot I was singing tomorrow night."
Takeru smiled kindly at her. "Your so perfect." He complimented, brushing some hair from her face. "You'll do fine."
"Thanks Keru." She replied, before pausing to think. "Could we practice?"
"Here or at Matts?" Takeru questioned, staring deep into her eyes.
Kari looked up and melted under his gaze. "Here." She replied softly.
"We'll do it quietly." He nodded, and softly began to play the melody of his brothers' song, as Kari began to sing under her breath.
Kouji watched the couple from where he and Zoe were sitting. He wasn't the only one watching them, a few of their other classmates had realised what they were doing and had also started listening to the couple's melody.
Hikari and Takeru were completely oblivious to the rest of the class though; they were just lost in thoughts of one another, softly practicing in each other's presence.
DING-DONG-DING-DONG
"ALRIGHT!" Takuya yelled and jumped up, before a crash of a guitar falling to the ground was heard.
"Hehehe… oops… forgot about that." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, before picking up the now-dented guitar and handing it back in.
"I suppose the lessons over now." Kari stated, as Takeru put his guitar back in its case (a/n: He had brought his own, as they were going to Matts house tonight)
"Yep! Alls right with the world." Takuya stated, as he approached the duo, followed by Kouji and Zoe.
"You know, it wasn't that bad Takuya." Kouji told the brown haired boy, as they exited the music room.
"For you guys, but for me it was like hell on earth."
"And I always thought there was fire in hell…" Takeru shook his head sadly…
Kari smiled. "Poor little Take-chan… all that worrying for nothing."
Takeru gave her a playful glare, as she laughed.
"If you 2 are done with you're flirting! Maybe we could leave the 'hell on earth' and go to our lockers." Zoe smirked as she pushed them out the door.
- - - - - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -
"No more school for 2 whole months!" Takuya yelled as they left their lockers.
"Yeah! This is going to be the best Holiday, huh Ko?" Zoe smiled sweetly at her boyfriend, who blushed at the new nickname.
"So, what's happening now? Is your brother going to pick us up?" Takuya asked, still smirking at Koji's new nickname.
"No… His G-" Takeru stopped himself just in time. "Sora and Hikari's brother are."
"Oh… right." Takuya said. "Are you hiding something from us, or doesn't your brother want to meet us?"
"No! My brother wants to meet you guys, er… there are just some… complications." T.K explained as best he could, running his hand nervously through his hair.
Hikari giggled, and took Takeru's hand into her own. "Come on! Lets go already." She laughed, before pulling her boyfriend out the doors and onto the path outside.
She jumped happily down the steps of the school, and the rest followed, before turning round Takeru and looking at him thoughtfully.
"You're thinking." She stated as T.K looked down at her surprised.
"Where'd you get that idea?" he answered back sarcastically.
"Keru!" She whined, and looked up at his blue sapphires with her own rubies in a pleading sort of way.
Takeru shook his head. "It's nothing really, I was just wondering how we are going to tell our brothers… about us." He stated.
"Oh! Is that all?" Kari smiled happily. "Don't worry about that, Keru."
He raised his eyebrows in a disbelieving way, making Kari laugh.
"We'll just wing it." Hikari smiled up at him, and squeezed his hand.
Takeru kissed her forehead, and pushed some of her chocolate brown hair behind her ears. "You always know what to say, Hika…" He paused for a second "Although somehow, I still feel like I'm walking straight to my deathbed."
Hikari laughed again, before coming face-to-face with a boy…
A boy with gravity defying hair.
A very angry and red boy with gravity defying hair.
…also in over-protective-brother mode I might add.
Takeru looked at the teen that was presently trying to glare a hole through his head.
"…Tai. Long time no see." He said nervously.
Taichi growled softly under his breath.
"explain" was all that could be made out of it.
Takeru laughed nervously, squeezing Hikari's hand tightly, cutting out all circulation.
"Wouldn't it be better if we explained when we're all together?" Takeru asked hopefully.
Taichi glared, before sighing… "Fine… but only because your brother and I make a better team together…"
"Great… just great…" Takeru muttered under his breath
Tai just glared again saying softly…"don't think your off the hook yet Takaishi…"
"Fine with me." Takeru said. "You know, you haven't changed at all Tai."
"Opposite of you…" Tai replied, a little more kindly than their previous conversation. "What happened to the little 'Teeks' we said goodbye to at the airport?"
"He grew up" Takeru shrugged. "Anyways, these are my friends, Takuya, Zoe and Koji. Guys this is Kari's older and protective brother, Taichi, who, if I know well enough, is probably planning my end at this moment." Takeru said, as they all greeted each other.
"Caught me red handed Takaishi, Well, now TO THE VAN!" Taichi took the lead, and walked over towards a pretty big van, which had tinted windows.
They all clambered into the van, talking about holidays, asking questions, ect.
- - - - - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -
Far into the drive to Matts house, Hikari lay her head comfortably on Takeru's shoulder, and stared into his sapphire eyes. Takeru just pulled her closer to him, placing his arm around her waist, looking at her questionably.
"Hey Take?" Hikari whispered in Japanese.
"Hai Hika?" Takeru replied (Hai = yes.)
"Do you know how you're going to explain your brother to Zoe and Takuya?"
"Iie.. I don't have a clue…" Takeru chuckled nervously "I was just going to wing it, like always." (Iie = no)
"Oh…" Kari said quietly, her brow furrowed cutely in a pondering stance, and her mouth forming a small pout-frown.
Takeru just smiled at his angel. "But, it'll be okay, Hikari. There isn't any correct way to tell your friends 'my brothers a famous superstar and I've been keeping it from you since forever.'"
Hikari smiled happily up at Takeru. "Your right… just from the way Takuya and Zoe are acting, they don't have a clue… I hope they take it okay…"
"Hai… Me too Hika, Me too." Takeru said as he ruffled up her hair.
"Oi! What was that for!" Hikari laughed and looked up to her new boyfriend as he laughed as well.
She stared at the windscreen pouting, making Takeru's heart melt… having the exact effect she wanted.
Takeru forced her head to turn and look at him, his sapphire blue eyes innocent and pleading, as he rested his forehead against hers. "I'm sorry, Hika… is there any way I can make it up to you?"
Hikari smirked shamelessly "Hai, perhaps."
Suddenly sparks were sent all down her body, as his lips touched her forehead.
"Like that?"
"Maybe." She tried to smirk, but she couldn't hide the teasing joy from her eyes, as his lips touched her rosy cheeks, sending those joyous sparks down her body again.
Takeru looked at her innocently and questionably.
"Getting closer…" She whispered into his ear, before his lips touched her own lips in a spark moment of passion.
His eyes held all the innocence in the world as they pulled away.
Hikari smiled, trying to smirk, but failing miserably. "I think I can let you off this once." She whispered into his ear, before they kissed again.
In the front seats, Sora laughed, as she watched Taichi try and control his anger. His eye twitching slightly as he finally put on the indicator, and drove down a private road. Roughly shoving an i.d pass out the window to the security man at the gate he continued down to the large house in the distance, his mouth in permanent frown the whole way.
"I bet the way they got together was SO KAWAII!" Sora smiled at Taichi, happy about finding something to tease him about. (Kawaii = cute)
"I don't want to know…" Tai said (almost growled) as he tried not to look in the rear vision mirror at the flirting duo, and he glared at the road in front of him.
Slowly they came in front of a door. The car stopped in the driveway, and Taichi got out, and opened the back door.
"If you two are done, we can all get out and see your brother now." He said as calmly as possible, as everyone got out of the car.
"I can't believe it!" Zoe said when she parted from her boyfriends touch. "We finally get to meet this secretive brother of yours."
"Yeah…" Takeru said, as he, Koji and Kari all shared knowing glances. Koji was just happy he found out about all this and wasn't about to get the surprise of his life. Zoe and Takuya were just completely oblivious.
Grabbing their backpacks they jumped out of the car slowly walked up the white front steps and Taichi took out his keys and opened the door.
They entered into a large hallway, and they followed Tai and Sora into a carpeted room, which looked like a living room. It had sofa's a wide-screen t.v, and some other chairs.
"Where's Matt?" Kari asked, as everyone sat down on some chairs.
"Oh, he's in the practice room, with the rest of the guys. I think he wants to speak to you and Takeru first. Something about tomorrow night." Sora answered, brushing some hair away from her face.
"Koji, Zoe and Takuya, you guys just make yourself comfortable. We'll go and tell Matt that we're here."
Taichi laughed "Yeah, and don't go wondering around. The house is massive, we'll all be back in a second." He said, before following T.K, Kari and Sora out of the living room.
Takuya sat down next to Koji and Zoe on a massive couch, and grabbed the T.V guide.
"I can't believe how big this house is!" he said as he flicked through all the pages.
Zoe nodded in agreement. "I know. I didn't even think that Takeru's brother was staying in Australia for that long."
"Mystery to me. Oh well, may as well find something to do while where waiting for them to come back." Takuya replied, picking up the remote control and turning on the T.V.
- - - - - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -
"Hello?" Sora called as she knocked and opened a wooden door. The music that was coming from inside stopped and the people inside looked up.
"Sora?"
"Yep, its me Yama, and Tai and I picked up the little rascals you ordered." She said as she walked inside the room, followed by Takeru and Hikari.
"T.K?"
"Hey Matt." Takeru said as he walked in the door, looking at the guitar and the rest of the band. "You haven't changed at all. Except of course for the immense amount of fame and ego." He joked.
"I'll ignore that last comment, but, hey, its great to see you little bro." Matt replied and he and Takeru gave each other a hug. "I think you may have grown a bit since I last saw you though." He laughed, and ruffled up T.K's hair.
Takeru just glared. "I'm practically as tall as you know, Matt."
"Not to me, you ain't, to me you'll always be my baby brother!" Matt laughed again.
"Whatever."
"I think Kari and T.K have something they want to tell you… right?" Taichi said suddenly, breaking up the reunion as he walked in the door.
"They got together?" Matt asked, causing Tai to stare with his mouth agape.
"How did you know?" Kari asked.
"It's pretty simple, I mean, you both talk about each other non-stop. I can't think of a better pair, except of course, me and Sor." Yamato explained, smiling slightly, as Taichi started to form a glare.
"Oh, cut the over-protective brother act Taichi, I thought we already decided that our siblings were perfect together, we can't keep them away from each-other forever." Matt said, and Taichi just shrugged.
"Fine." Tai gave-in. "They are old enough to look after themselves, I suppose, but if your brother does anything to hurt my little sister, he'll have to come to me."
"I'll never hurt Hika intentionally." Takeru said sincerely. "and that's a promise."
Hikari just smiled up and Takeru, and he kissed her forehead softly.
"Ditto" she whispered in his ear, staring into his pure, bright blue eyes she loved so much, and they kissed softly again, enjoying their aura mixing together.
"Hey T.k?" Matt asked once they'd finished.
"Yeh Matt?" Takeru replied, his eyes never leaving Hikari's.
"You don't mind playing second Guitar tomorrow night, do you?"
Takeru looked up at Matt and shrugged. "No, that's fine. I've been practicing the music anyway, I thought you'd ask me something like that."
"Great. Thanks lil'bro." Matt said, patting his brother on the back.
"Just don't ever call me that again, okay Yamato?"
Matt just laughed. "So, where are these friends of yours?"
"Waiting in the living room." Takeru answered. "But, I still haven't told them about you yet, so expect them to be a little surprised."
"Sure, but we've kept them waiting long enough now… lets go to the living room." Yamato said, opening the door.
- - - - - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -
"I wonder where they went?" Zoe thought aloud, as she looked at the clock. "They've been gone for a while now."
"Don't worry, this place is so big, it probably took them 15 mins to get to wherever they were going!" Takuya said, as he pressed buttons on the X-box he and Koji had found in a cupboard.
"Yeh, and don't forget Takeru's seeing his older brother who he hasn't seen in 2 years." Koji continued, as he overlapped Takuya in the game.
"I suppose." Zoe said.
"Just one thing guys." Koji started as Takuya started moaning about losing the game again. "Takeru told me that when we meet his brother we should act like ourselves."
"Why'd he-.." Zoe started but stopped as she heard the door handle turn.
The trio looked up, and saw Takeru walk in holding hands with Hikari.
"Guys, please don't freak out too much. Okay?" Takeru started, looking at Takuya and Zoe's confused faces. Koji and Takuya stood up next to Zoe, waiting patiently.
"This is my older brother."
The door opened slightly more, revealing Yamato, Sora (holding on to Matt) and Taichi.
"Yamato Ishida."
"Pleased to meet you." Koji bowed slightly "I'm Koji Minamoto."
At this time Koji was really the only one still able to talk.
Zoe was staring at Matt, mouth open wide while Takuya was saying a few colourful words rather slowly, as if trying to register everything, and mouth open wide.
Koji bit his lip, looking warily over at his girlfriend and closest friend, who were looking like they wouldn't be talking anytime soon.
"This is my girlfriend, Zoe, and the resident goggle head, Takuya."
Yamato smiled "Nice to meet you, my lil'bro told me heaps about you guys."
It took Zoe about 10 seconds to answer as she stuttered, trying to find her voice.
"Holy shit--- I mean, its nice to meet you too."
Mental note: Torture Takeru Takaishi
"YOU MEAN MATT ISHIDA IS YOUR BROTHER!!!" Takuya screamed as what Takeru had told them finally went through his brain. (A/N: Sorry, I don't mean to make Takuya seem dumb, I actually like him, not as much as Koji, Takeru and Kouichi, but he's okay….)
"Hi" Matt said.
Takuya stared back dazed… in an omg someone famous is talking to me expression.
"Hi…" He finally replied. "You're my idol, you know…"
"I should have told them," Takeru stated to no one in particular.
"Hell yeah, Take…" Hikari replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "But I think they took it pretty well."
Takeru just looked at his girlfriend as if she were mad, raising an eyebrow unbelievingly.
"At least Takuya didn't faint…" Kari smiled at him. "It could've been a lot worse."
"I guess." Takeru said, looking over at Takuya, who had gotten over the shock, and was now talking excitedly with Matt, who seemed a bit flabbergasted at how much this boy knew about him.
T.K turned back around to look at Kari only to be staring into the face of an angry blonde.
"I CANT BELIEVE YOU KEPT THAT FROM US!!!!" Zoe screamed at the sandy haired boy, whose blue eyes were opened wide.
"2 YEARS TAKERU! ARG!"
T.K laughed nervously.
"Chill, Zee. It just wasn't the type of thing he wanted to share with Australia." Hikari saved her boyfriend "He went through all sorts of stuff in Japan."
Takeru nodded. "I just wanted to be known as Takeru Takaishi, instead of Matt Ishida's little brother."
"I guess, but you still could've told us." Zoe said, before turning to her boyfriend.
"Don't look at me." Koji said, as his girlfriend advanced. "I had nothing to do with this."
"A little too much of nothing." Zoe said. "You seemed a little too calm about this whole escapade."
"Oh. Koji found out the day Kari arrived because he could understand Jap." T.K explained.
"Sora just about gave everything away!" Kari laughed. "It was funny."
"Nothing to do with it, huh?" Zoe raised an eyebrow.
"Hey! It wasn't my idea to keep it from you guys!" Koji said in his defence.
Zoe smiled and kissed his cheek. "I know, Ko." She then turned on the 'betrayers'… "You would never do something that evil."
"Don't worry." Hikari kissed Takeru softly. "They'll get over it."
"Wonder when I should tell them about being in the band?" T.K questioned.
"That should probably wait for a while. One surprise at a time, Take-chan." Kari smiled, and Takeru put his arms around her waist, and she placed hers around his shoulders.
"I love you." Takeru said.
"I love you too, Keru." Hikari managed to whisper, as they dipped in for another soft kiss.
That same feeling jolted through their bodies, the electrifying passion that was released from one single touch, the way that just from being in one another's presence they could feel complete.
The feeling of being loved, and loving in return. Being with the one you were destined to be with. For all eternity.
At that moment, they knew, everything would turn out all right; they would conquer all problems, and stay together through it all. They would never mentally be apart again.
They had nothing to fear anymore.
Everything was perfect at that moment.
Everything would turn out fine.
Their true destiny was each other.
In Love.
