Hey people! It's me again, with a brand new chapter! I hope you'll enjoy this chapter because I've stay up all night to finish it. It's quite touching anyways, enjoy! And don't blame on me for not making Kouji and Kouichi brothers because I am totally not fascinated with TWINS! You know why? I have one too, and it's such a pain! Yesterday, my parents are away so I volunteered to cook since I'm the older twin. But guess what, she said that my cooking was awful! I was about to explode, it's not like her cooking is not bad! So we argued for the whole afternoon and guess what, we didn't even get to eat anything! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kouichi dashed into the living room angrily and startled everyone's attention. He ran up to staircase, blinded by his tears. He can feel the pains and sorrows had seeped down inside of him. Sadness cemented on his face as his emotions clogged in his throat. Blood pulsed inside of his head, making him feeling light and dizzy. What had happened at Kouji's party had hit him like a missile.

"Young master, how came you came back so early from Mr. Minamoto 's birthday party?" Kouichi's butler asked, placing his hand on Kouichi's shoulder.

"Leave me alone!" Kouichi hollered with annoyance, he wrenched away his butler's hand without taking a glimpse of him. He then ran up to his room and gave a hard slam on the door.

Everyone was shocked by he's doing right now, they have seen a variety of disdainful expression on Kouichi's face over the past 18 years, but not this one. He's always so cheerful until now.

Four days later:

Kouji and the others noticed that Kouichi have been absent for 4 days already. They thought that he was sick or something so they decided to visit him.

"Hi, we're here to see Kouichi. Is that okay?" Takuya greeted Kouichi's butler.

His butler frowned in disappointment.

"I'm afraid not," He replied sadly. "Ever since he came back from Mr. Minamoto's birthday party, he locked himself in his room. He refused to come out or even to eat!"

All of a sudden, his eyes became watery as if he was about to cry.

"What!" Takuya exclaimed. He could feel himself instantly refilling with tension. "How could you let this happened!"

Then without getting a second thought, Takuya pushed Kouichi's butler away and went inside the mansion.

"Takuya wait!" Kouji shouted behind him, he dropped the bouquet of Jasmines on the ground and ran after Takuya.

Harlen and Michael shrugged and ran after Takuya and Kouji.

"Please wait!" Kouichi's butler yelled to persuade them to come back.

When Kouji and the others are standing in front of Kouichi's bedroom door, Takuya got an idea of how to break in to Kouichi's bedroom.

"Alright, everybody stand back!" Takuya commended. Then he stepped back from Kouichi's bedroom door. Then, he ran to the bedroom door, giving it a hard tackle on the door and it immediately broke down.

"Alright!" Harlen cheered happily.

Then they all went inside the room. What they saw made them gasp.

They found Kouichi lying on the carpet floor. He was unconscious, his face was pale white and his lips were turning purple. He doesn't even seem to be breathing.

"Oh my gosh! "Kouji exclaimed, rushing over to Kouichi and gently slapped him to see if Kouichi can react to the slapping. But he didn't.

"Hurry up and call 9-1-1!" Michael shouted to Kouichi's maidservants.

"Kouichi, Kouichi, can you hear me?" Takuya yelled at Kouichi, tears started to stream down from his eyes. "No!"

In the hospital:

The doctor came out from the emergency room, Takuya and the others ran up to the doctor.

"So is Kouichi going to be alright?" Kouji asked, gripping his fingers onto the doctor's sleeves.

"You know what, he's fine." He replied. "I'm glad you boys brought him here on time. If it's not for you boys, he could have die!"

"What made you say that?" Harlen inquired.

"Well," The doctor said, pushing his glasses a bit higher. "It seems like he ate these pills that almost kill him. If I'm not wrong, I think he was trying suicide himself."

"What!" Harlen exclaimed. "Kouichi will never do such a thing!"

-"Anyways," The doctor continued. "Kouichi needs to stay in the hospital for a week for check-ups and run more tests."

"Can we go and see him right now?" Michael asked.

"Of course." He nodded.

Next day after school:

Zoe decided to visit Kouji after school in the music room. She was surprised to find out that Kouji was quite upset. His eyes were red-rimmed from exhaustion; he had been staying up all night watching over Kouichi in the hospital with Takuya and the others.

"What's wrong?" Zoe asked. "You seem tired and sad?"

Kouji lowered his eyelashes slowly and sighed.

"It's Kouichi," Kouji replied. "He almost died, now he's in the hospital."

"What!" Zoe exclaimed loudly. She gripped onto Kouji's sleeves tightly, hoping that she misunderstood what he had just said. "Tell me that you're joking, please!"

"It is the truth." It was the only phrase that leaped to his mind. "He locked himself in his room for 4 days without coming out and he refused to eat. When my friends and I broke down the door, we found him on the ground. He seemed unconscious. So we took him to the hospital, the doctor told us that he was actually self-inflicted himself!"

"How could you have let this happened to him!" Zoe shouted. All of a sudden, tears blurred her vision. She felt as if those words that Kouji have just said pierced her insides, and a sudden uncontrollable fury came rushing out. "Hoe could you!"

"I-I got to see him!" Zoe said, she quickly dashed out from the music room.

"Zoe, wait!" Kouji shouted back.

"Why is Zoe being overreacted to this thing? How come she seems so worried about Kouichi?" Kouji thought.

In the hospital:

Kouichi heard someone knocked at the door.

"Come in!" He said.

"Kouichi!" Zoe came in from the door. Her eyes were red and watery.

Kouichi felt the familiar churning in his stomach. He doesn't know how to react to this. He wished that Zoe hadn't decided to visit him.

Suddenly, Zoe jumped onto him and tightly wrapped her arms on his neck, breathing in the scent of Kouichi's apricot shampoo. The feeling of being pressed against a warm body was so comforting. She loved the way their bodies fit together, like two pieces in a puzzle. Resting her heads onto Kouichi's shoulder, she suddenly burst into convulsive sobs. She felt happy that Kouichi was all right. She felt like this was one of the greatest moments in her life.

"Oh Kouichi, I was so worried about you!" Zoe found herself a bit hard to control her voice over her tears. "I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose a friend like you!" The tears from her eyes came harder now.

Kouichi's face became sullen.

"Just a friend?" He whispered softly.

Zoe pulled away and looked into Kouichi's eyes. Her brain was having a little bit trouble processing the words. "W-What?"

An icy fear skittered down Zoe's spine.

"O-Of course I'm your friend," Zoe replied nervously. "I'm always your."Before Zoe can continue her sentence, Kouichi's fierce anger cemented on his face. "Kouichi what's wrong?"

Kouichi looked down at his blanket. Suddenly, few drops of tears came down and soaked the blanket.

"Kouichi, what's wrong?" Zoe felt the pain rose up to her throat, making her swallowed back.

"Go away!" Kouichi muttered under his breath.

"W-What?" Zoe felt hot tears are drooling down from the rims of her eyes.

"I said go away!" Kouichi shouted loudly.

"Kouichi!" Zoe repeated his name through her tears. Her heart was shattered into million pieces. She let out a choked sob.

"K-Kouichi!" Zoe seemed hard to find her voice over her sobbing. "Why?"

Kouichi covered his ears with both of his hands. He couldn't control himself anymore. Zoe's voice sent pains and sorrows inside of him. It also brought back painful memories he had had in Kouji's birthday party. Then hot tears spontaneously burst out from his dark, cerulean eyes.

"Get out now!" He screamed even louder than before, using the last of his pent-up as rage of fuel.

Zoe ran out from Kouichi's room, she was crying uncontrollably, she felt sadness and pains weakening her body.

"Kouichi," Zoe cried. "Kouichi!"

Meanwhile.

After Zoe had left the room, Kouichi was sobbing uncontrollably. A feeling of guiltiness fluttered into his chest. He felt sadness seeped slowly into the hole where his pains and sorrows had been.

"Z-Zoe, Zoe!" Kouichi started to repeat Zoe's name over and over again. Then his voice his voice suddenly broke into tears.

"I loved you, with all my heart!"

Meanwhile.

It was raining really badly outside. But Zoe didn't cared. She had lost her mind. Suddenly she felt her legs started to wobble, so she threw her knees on the solid ground, raising up her face to the sky, letting the rain come down and wash away her tears.

"Kouichi," Zoe whispered softly "Why?"

Few days later:

Zoe decided to take Kouichi back home, since he can leave the hospital now. Knowing the fact that Kouichi might not want to see her, she's still willing to go. She missed him over the few days, she knew she have to go through the motions of adjusting to a life without him. Because she knew that Kouichi will never talk to her again. Over the past few days, she'd realized how important Kouichi was to her life. She knew she couldn't go on without him.

"Hey Kouichi!" Zoe greeted softly, forcing a smile to him. "Is everything alright?"

Kouichi turned around and flashed a bright smile to Zoe. Zoe was pleasantly surprised.

"Why Kouichi, you're not mad at me anymore?" Zoe pinched herself to make sure that she's not dreaming.

"Of course not!" Kouichi replied happily. "We're still friends right?"

Zoe felt happy again. She ran up to him and gave him a big hug. She wrapped her arms over his neck and rested her head onto his shoulder. Suddenly, she burst into sobbing again. She was glad that everything had worked out.

Kouichi placed his arms around Zoe's waist, pulling her close to him. He pressed his whole body against Zoe's, tears started to pour down from his eyes. He had found happiness again.

Kouji looked at them from the window on the bedroom door, feeling a bit jealous.

Kouji's P.O.V.

There's obviously something's wrong with Kouichi and Zoe. But why am I feeling jealous? I should be feeling happy for them, am I? So why am I being like that? I guess I do have something for Zoe. What am I talking about? Of course I do! I've been fooling to myself all along! I did love her, a lot! But what about Cecillia? And what about Kouichi?

Kouichi's P.O.V.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height. My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight. For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. II love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! -and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

Zoe , I wanted to tell you thank you! You taught me that love is a special gift. The best and most beautiful thing in the whole world cannot be seen or even be touched. It must be felt with the heart, and that's love. I loved you with my soul, even though I knew your heart doesn't belong to me. It hurts me when I saw you and Kouji are together, I have no choice, but to let you go. Even thought I'll have to let go of you. My love for you will never die. Just remember, true love transcends the self and makes a person the better for having touched it. Each person must learn that nothing can break love's bond, not even the face of death, and this is one treasure that makes life beautiful. My love for you will never fade away, my dear Zoe. I wish you the best luck with you and Kouji.
