I woke up with a start, my nerves shot with electricity. Hikaru...

I turned over and he was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back facing me, the sunlight casting his shadow on the wall. I sighed. One day done...

He turned around and smiled, and for a second...he seemed...happy. "Kaoru, what are we going to do today...?"

I groaned. "Hungry..." He jumped up and fixed my breakfast while I sat frozen on my bed wondering why he was so happy. You're dying, Hikaru...don't ever leave me...

His head popped through the door, and he smiled like he always does when we prank Tamaki..."Breakfast is ready!" He bolted out, apparently more starving than I was.

But when I thought of him going, I didn't really feel like eating. I got dressed and went into the dining room, just planning to eat to please him.

I looked at the bowls of cheap cereal in front of me and looked up at Hikaru. He shrugged and opened the bare cabinets. "I'm limited on cooking supplies."

I started laughing and he joined in, and for a fraction of a second it all felt...normal. He sat down across from me and started chowing down, when he looked up at me, sitting still with untouched food. "You...don't have to eat that..."

My head was down and I felt useless. Hikaru was leaving me...my love...my brother...my life...

It was one of those moments when you finally realize how bad a situation was but...

...I didn't think I could handle it. I was ruining one of our last days...

Our last days before...he walked over and sat on the floor next to me, already done with his food. He put his hand and the top of my head and leaned my head on his shoulder...though I wanted more from him...

I looked up at him and he kissed me, licking my teeth as I sat frozen in our dining room. He let go when he realized that I needed more than a kiss. His head went down and he groaned.

I leaned down to get a look at his face.

"Hikaru...!"

He was shaking all over, I was frozen. Get up and do something!!! I ran and got my cell phone, dialing Kyouya on my speed dial while I tipped Hikaru back in my arms, tears streaming down my cheeks, I didn't care.

I wasn't going to let him leave me now...!

"This is Kyouya."

"Kyouya!!! Hikaru...he's...I'm calling emergency get everyone to the nearest hospital an-"

"I'll call them all right away. Is he breathing...?"

I looked down at his face, his chest was heaving and his face was frozen in a state of shock. "HIKARU!!!"

"KAORU! Answer me, whats going ON?"

"He's shaking and he's hyperventilating an-"

"Call emergency now, Kaoru."

I nodded and dialed emergency as Hikaru shook violently in my arms.
