Hello everyone! Sorry chapter 4 came so late, I had a lot to do for school. But it's here now, so don't panic!

Chapter 4

Oh my God. I couldn't think at all today. All I thought about was Hikaru and Kaoru. I didn't know if I liked them or if I was creeped out by them. I decided to spend some time with them to get to know them better.

I walked with Haruhi at the end of the day back to Music Room #3. As we walked in, the boys were talking amongst themselves. Tamaki looked up and smiled. "Hello, ladies," he said as we joined the group. I looked over at the twins.

They were sitting at a table together, having a conversation between themselves. I quietly stood a few feet away and watched them. Then Hikaru looked up and turned his head. After a second, Hikaru noticed me looking in their direction. I quickly turned away and felt my cheeks burn. I peeked at them in the corner of my eye. Hikaru tapped his brother's shoulder and pointed towards me. Once Kaoru looked at me, I looked down at the floor. My cheeks felt incredibly hot.

I took a quick glance at the boys before slightly turning my head toward them. They both caught my glance and smiled. Hikaru whispered something to Kaoru, and Kaoru nodded. They looked back at me. I felt like something bad was about to happen, but that thought quickly disappeared when both of them simultaneously stood up and walked toward me. My whole face felt red hot as they approached me.

"Hey there, duckling," Hikaru cooed as he hung his arm around my neck. They already had a nickname for me. Wonderful. "H-hello," I stammered as I began playing with the strap on my backpack. I was nervous. I had no idea what to say or do or even think. My heart and my stomach fluttered with nervousness and excitement. I felt my cheeks reddening as Kaoru wrapped his arms around me. "You know you're blushing like mad right now," he whispered, a smirk creeping on his face. I hadn't realized how bad I was blushing and quickly hid my face in my hands. Now I felt another emotion: embarrassment.

The twins giggled. I felt so terrible. I had a big mixture of emotions stirring in my heart. I felt Kaoru's arms slowly lower and felt a large shadow cover my small little body. I slowly turned around and looked up to see Kyoya giving the twins an evil stare. There was a bright glare in his glasses that shielded his dark eyes. He stared down at the twins, seeming quite disturbed about something. "Hikaru, Kaoru," he seemed to growl at them. "Tamaki would like to have a word about our next gathering." The twins nodded silently and began to walk toward the group. Hikaru waved to me, and Kaoru blew a kiss. I blushed and looked at the floor.

I felt Kyoya's heavy hand land on my shoulder. I looked up at him, and his gaze seemed lighter than before. I could see his brown eyes shimmering in the light. He smirked down at me and his hand slowly dropped to my back. "Ms. Wendall?" he said softly. "It's Naomi," I said, falling into his gaze. He chuckled and stood up straighter. "May I have a word with you?" He asked, and before I could give an answer, we had already started out the door and down the stairs.

We didn't speak a word until we were outside. I walked ahead of Kyoya, admiring the beautiful sunny afternoon. I closed my eyes and let the wind ruffle my skirt and hair. I felt a cherry blossom petal fall on my nose and blew it off. I watched it fly away, maneuvering through the wind. Kyoya stepped up behind me. "I know how you feel about the Hitachiin's," he said softly, but loud enough so I could hear him. I spun around, unaware of his knowledge. "I'm sorry, did I startle you Ms. Naomi?" he said comfortingly. I sighed, trying to calm myself down. He turned his back to me. "I mean, it's pretty obvious. The way you look and act around them is a dead giveaway," he chuckled, looking out onto the large and vast schoolyard. "But I can also see that you don't know how to deal with these feelings. You're nervous about it. You don't what you're supposed to do, what you're supposed to say. You just need to calm down, Naomi."

He turned around and smiled. The wind blew lightly against him, making his dark hair flutter. There was no glare in his glasses, only his eyes. He seemed nice and calm, unlike what Haruhi warned me about. He sighed and began to walk towards me. "Can I tell you a secret? Something that I wouldn't share with anyone except people who are close to Haruhi?" he asked once he was close to me. His tone became serious suddenly and I knew this was important. I nodded, not saying a word. He looked toward the school with a serious face. I stood in curiosity awaiting his reply. "Ever since your cousin came here, she seemed to lighten the whole place up," he began. "She brought smiles to all the hosts, even Mori. She was special in her own way." He stopped. I looked at his face again. He was smiling. A tiny pink blush crept up on his cheeks. "She was special to me. I admired her from a distance, admired her compassion and care for everyone around her. She was so kind and sweet, and I liked that."

At that moment I realized what he was trying to say. He liked Haruhi. No, not liked. Loved her. He was in love with her from the start. He just never told anyone before. Now he told me. At that point I swore on my life that I would not tell Haruhi about this.

Kyoya stuck his hands in his pockets and looked gloomily at the floor. "But, it's obvious she likes Tamaki, so why bother," he said. That was it? That's why he didn't tell her? Wow. Just wow. I suddenly burst into laughter without thinking. Kyoya stared at me, confusion on his face. "What? What is it?" he asked as I wiped away the tears from my eyes. "I'm sorry," I said through giggles. "That's why you can't tell her? Really? That's so stupid!" Kyoya stared at me, and I couldn't tell whether he was hurt or confused. I finally calmed myself down. "Why don't you tell her your feelings?" I asked trying not to laugh again. "You know, she did talk to me about you guys. But the one guy she talked about most, the one she said she really liked, was you." Kyoya's eyes widened. I could tell he was suprised. I continued. "Look, she may hang out with Tamaki-senpai a lot, but that doesn't mean she likes him. Just tell her how you feel."

Kyoya walked up to me as I finished my small speech. He looked at me, our eyes locked onto each other. He smiled at me warmly. "Thank you," he said as he hugged my small body. I was alarmed by the sudden gesture, but I felt warm and fuzzy inside. Once he let go, he began to walk back toward the school building. "Oh, and Ms. Naomi?" he turned towards me. "Practice what you preach."

And then he left, leaving me standing in the middle of the courtyard dumbfounded.

So, leave a review, because I need to know if I did something wrong or if I messed something up.

And I am SOOOO sorry for those of you who ship Tamaki X Haruhi! I ship them myself, but I thought I would shake things up a little. So please no hate comments...

I hope you enjoyed!
