Note: I'd like to point out that I am Christian and am not making fun of the Christians through this story.

Fifth Day After School

Kaoru sat under a table staring at the door, waiting for his torturer to walk through that door. He'd had to deal with her for almost a week already.

"We're not visiting Haruhi this weekend!" Kaoru had told Hikaru the night before. "She'll probably have to babysit that brat this weekend."

Hikaru had laughed at Kaoru and asked, "What's with this we stuff? Lex doesn't bother me."

Kaoru had frowned and Hikaru had to try to reassure him that it was just a joke. Kaoru still wasn't convinced. The door finally opened a bit and he heard the little foot steps of a child and Haruhi walking into the room; shivers flew down Kaoru's spine.

"Kao-kun?" Lex whined. "Are you here today?"

Kaoru wanted to die so he wouldn't have to hear her voice, that wretched cursed voice that was the thing that damned him to hell in the first place. Kaoru probably never was going to go to hell, until this demon showed up. Mom took us to church once, but no one was ever like this. They asked if you wanted to be saved and helped you if you wanted to. They never came up to you and said straight out, "You're gonna go to hell, want some help changing that?" Who'd go to a church like that? This girl obviously.

Kaoru smirked devilishly as he saw her look around for him. Kaoru had an idea.

I'll spy on her this weekend, find out what her sins are. Then I'll track her down and tell her those sins so she'll get the hell off my back!

Kaoru crawled out from under the table and walked lightly over with a bounce in his step, Like Milord, and scooped Lex up off the ground and smiled at her.

"Awww, aren't you cute?" Kaoru cooed.

"Yay! Kao-kun!" Lex cheered and tried to hug Kaoru. Kaoru pulled her into an embrace.

Kaoru's hand twitched as he remembered this was the girl who'd ruined his life and made him cry in three days. Suddenly, Kaoru felt an urge to strangle her while she was in reach, but he held himself back.

"You feeling better?" Lex wondered.

"Much," Kaoru replied, truthfully, but was starting to feel horrible again.

"How's your love life going?" Lex lowered her voice so only Kaoru could hear her.

Kaoru moved her until he looked straight into her face.

"The same," Kaoru hissed.

"It's wrong to be homosexual," Lex continued in her hushed voice.

"It's wrong to be so mean to me, even if I am a non-believer!" Kaoru raised his voice. "I went to church for about two weeks when I was a child, I know a bit about Christianity."

"It's still wrong and he-"

Kaoru scowled and covered her mouth as she raised her voice to be louder than his. This isn't some damn 'who's voice is louder?' contest!

"Mmm-unnn! MMPH!" Lex tried to say under Kaoru's hand; Kaoru pushed harder onto her mouth until he could swear he felt the shape of her jaw under his fingers.

"Shut up!" Kaoru hissed. "No one needs to know that!"

"Know what, Kao-kun?" Hunny asked as he walked up to Kaoru and Lex.

"N-nothing!" Kaoru blushed and he released a bit on Lex's mouth.

"He doesn't like you!" Lex finally shouted between Kaoru's fingers.

"SHUT UP!" Kaoru snarled and pushed her down onto the ground, himself on top of her. "Shut up! You don't even know who I like!"

"You like him! He doesn't like you that way! I see you look at him!" Lex yelled at Kaoru.

Kaoru snarled and tried to cover her mouth.

"Shut the hell up! If you're going to heaven then I'd be glad to go to hell! I CAN'T-"

"Kaoru!" Hikaru snapped as he pulled Kaoru off of her. "She's a child!"

Kaoru struggled in Hikaru's grasp.

"I don't care!" Kaoru spat. "She can't tell me that!"

"He doesn't love you," Lex stated as she stood up, brushing herself off and trying to breath again. Kaoru struggled in Hikaru's arms and Hikaru felt Kaoru's body begin going through the spasms he had usually before crying.

"How do you know?" Kaoru sobbed; he couldn't hide his tears.

"He doesn't look at you the same," Lex replied.

Kaoru began sobbing and Hikaru took him into an embrace.

"B-but..." Kaoru cried. "He does! He said he did!"

"Who?" Kyouya and Tamaki asked as they walked over.

"I don't know," Hikaru replied. Or did he know?

You're an idiot! Kaoru shouted at Hikaru in his head. He wanted to struggle and run away, but he couldn't. Those strong arms around him, Kaoru couldn't run away from those. No matter how mad he was at the beholder of them. You're an idiot! You can't see it? How can you NOT know who I love?

"What's going on?" Haruhi asked as she walked over with Mori. Everyone gazed at Kaoru then at Lex. "What happened now?"

"I'm trying to tell him that his crush doesn't love him back," Lex replied. "His crush is a man too, that makes it even worse."

"Kaoru's gay?" Everyone except Hunny and Mori asked.

"No," Kaoru replied, embarassed. "Homosexuality is wrong-"

"It's even worse once you know who it is!" Lex added.

Kaoru struggled to get away from Hikaru.

"Let me tear her apart!" Kaoru snarled.

Haruhi bent down and covered Lex's mouth.

"As much as I'd like to know, I don't think Kaoru would appreciate that," Haruhi replied, quietly and kind.

Lex nodded.

"Can I go home now?" Lex asked quietly.

"GO HOME?" Kaoru snarled, still trying to get away. "You try to ruin my life and then all you want to do is GO HOME?"

"Kaoru!" Hikaru snapped.

"I'll tell on you if you keep acting like that!" Lex threatened.

Kaoru stopped struggling and placed his forehead against Hikaru's chest.

"No, please don't do that," Kaoru replied after a while.

"Is that why you don't wanna get married?" Lex questioned.

Kaoru began to cry.

"Leave me alone..."

Just leave me alone.

Kyouya's POV

I've never really paid much attention to it before, but Kaoru is really jealous of Hikaru. Or maybe he's jealous over Hikaru. I kind of feel bad for Kaoru, I know what it's like to love someone and they barely even realize you exist. Only, it's different for Kaoru. Kaoru's someone is really close to him, always has been.

But we have one thing in common.

Our loved ones have made us cry.

Mori's and Hunny's POV

Takashi and I have both noticed that Lex-chan bugs Kao-kun a lot, but we've known that for awhile. We've known the things that she knows for along time. We just didn't think they'd make Kao-kun cry. Or maybe we secretly did and that's why we never shared them. Mitsukuni and I have noticed that Kaoru seems like he's going to cry whenever he looks at Hika-chan. We've never known how that feels, since our loved one is right next to us and we know that. Sure, one day I'll go off and get married, one day Takashi will get married, but we'll still love eachother. I wonder if that can ever happen with Kao-kun.

It kind of looks like he wants to die, like he wants to kill himself. Kao-kun would never go that far.

...Right?
