Chapter Three:
After a while, I stopped running. I stood for a few minutes. I turned and peered at my surroundings. No-one followed. I don't even know where I was. Trees surrounded me and I now stood on a dirt road. I don't know how far I had run, or for how long. But one thing's for sure, I was away from my brother. My twin, my best friend. Honestly, it felt horrible. I was aching. My legs were tired and I was dizzy. I felt like I was about to collapse. I looked around once more and spotted an old tree stump to my left, not far away. I stumbled over and half fell/ half sat down onto it.
I reached into my pockets, rummaging for a cell phone, my wallet- I did not find either… Stupidly, I recalled placing them into my rucksack just before that Host Club meeting. I don't recall retrieving them. I mentally chastised myself for making an idiotic mistake.
Originally, my plan was to run out of the room and hide in a closet to see if he followed. But uncontrollably, I ran further. I felt guilty. I shouldn't have played this evil trick on him, but I needed to know whether he was ready to give me up. I needed to know whether he was ready to give me up and focus his full intentions and make Haruhi happy. I'm jealous that they spend so much time together. I'm jealous that Hikaru is closer to her than he is to me. But the Host Club's duty is basically to please women. However, in all technicalities, the courtesy extended to both members of the relationship. By leaving, I think it might not make Hikaru happy at first, but I think that later on, he will realize my position and why I had to.
I think I should have re-thought my plan before putting it into action. I scratched the back of my head feverishly. I should have gone home from school ill, left him a note and packed my things. I had the means and money to do that, but it never occurred to me.
I looked up from my feet. I peered around at the forest behind me. Finally I decide that I need a distraction. I get up, gently. I walk over to the trees and peer through the darkness. Suddenly a bird flies out, closely missing bumping into me. I breathe deeply and the eerie forest sends chills down my spine. "I've come this far," I mutter to myself, "I don't see why I shouldn't go further…" I enter the darkness and begin to look for something to amuse myself.
To Be Continued…
Authoress notes: My apologies. I just needed to describe what Kaoru was going to go through before going to continue on Hikaru's part.
