Between Us

A/n I was thinking that the last chapter left off a slight cliffhanger. I thought it would be just a one shot…but I felt like there was much more to say. So I think this will be only a twoshot. Thank you for reading my note.

Chapter Two – Only

Hikaru ran down the hallway to his room. He just got off a date with Haruhi. He yelled out Kaoru's name. No answer. He walked into his room, which he shared with Kaoru, and found no one inside. The only Hitachiin twin walked over to a small table and found a crumpled up piece of paper. He looked down to the floor and found crumpled pieces of paper everywhere. The red head opened the crumpled paper that was on the table and read it:

To those who are reading:

It is too late. I am gone now. No one really noticed what I was going through. Not even my mirror paid any heed to me. I felt so alone and lifeless. I felt like there was a piece that broke off of me. My mirror was too caught up in his love life. Without me. We were always together, but not anymore. If anyone wants to see me, look in the bathroom.

To Hikaru:

Too bad you didn't notice what I was going through.

I love you.

To Haruhi:

Please take care of my precious Hikaru. If you don't, my spirit would see you to that.

To the rest of the members of the Host Club:

I don't think you will get as much girls now that I am gone. I'm sorry. I really am.

Goodbye to all,

Hitachiin Kaoru.

Tear spots were covering the whole paper. Old and new ones. Hikaru was speechless. Was this a joke? Was this real? Hikaru laughed and yelled out for Kaoru again. No answer.

"C'mon, Kaoru! This is just a fucking joke right? Right!" Hikaru asked to no one. To shocked to cry, he walked over to his bathroom. With a loud creak, he looked into the bathroom and dropped to the floor. There was Kaoru, under lukewarm water. Red rose petals floated in the water. Kaoru's eyes were closed with his mouth turned upward in a smile. Dead. Lifeless. Hikaru finally started to cry. He crawled over to the bathtub and took Kaoru's cold body into his head. Hikaru kept crying, not caring who saw.

"Kaoru. Why? How could you do this to me? You know I loved you!" Hikaru screamed. He looked up and saw a transparent Kaoru, standing by the bathtub.

"Kaoru? Is that…you?" Hikaru stammered out.

"I didn't love you as a brother. I loved you more that. But you didn't notice." The spirit said in a soft voice. At that, he disappeared in thin air. Hikaru once again, screamed. At that moment, a servant and Hikaru's mother ran in.

Laughter no longer was heard from the Hitachiin Manor. Only lifeless cries and screams.

"We are here for our beloved Hitachiin Kaoru. We all loved him as a dear brother and a friend. Hikaru would like to say his speech." The priest(a/n I GUESS that's what they are called….) spoke in a calm voice. Hikaru stood up and walked over to the front of the room.

"Hello. We all know that Kaoru and I had a special bond. I loved him as a brother. But he…I'm sorry…loved me as a lover. That is all. Thank you." He said. Everyone in the room was crying their tiny hearts our. Except one. Hikaru swiftly left the room and walked out to the graveyard. He sat down by a grave and gave up a small smile.

"I love..you, too. Kaoru." Hikaru whispered. He ran out of the graveyard and went to a abandoned cliff. And fell.

As months past, in the graveyard laid the wonderful Hitachiin twins.

Here lies Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin.

Beloved brothers, sons, cousins, friends, and lovers.

1990-2006

A small figure in black laid down some flowers and wiped her wet face. Haruhi was visting her favorite pair of twins.

Between us they had a bond.

It killed me when I typed this up. I think I'm better to make sad fanfics than happy ones. T.T
