Chapter 5 – Back Again
'So here I am yet again,' Kaoru thought to himself, here he was again, trapped in a place that even now symbolized a hell full of tears and pain.
Kaoru took a deep, calming breath as he opened the door to his homeroom class and found all eyes locked on him including the eyes that haunted him every waking and sleeping moment of his life...
...Hikaru's eyes.
Kaoru stared into the depths his older twin's blue orbs, asking him endless questions, questions that would take eternity to be asked, questions that Hikaru would never understand, questions Hikaru could never answer.
As Kaoru unknowingly gazed almost longingly into his brothers eyes, his thoughts began to wander, back to his mother and why he was home.
Every week his mother had spoken of his old life, keeping him updated on all the special events, all the precious moments of his brother's that he was missing. Kaoru new so much about Hikaru but, at the same time he knew so little the very thought was staggering.
Oh yes, Kaoru knew about Hikaru's various flings and sexual escapades after his abrupt break-up with Haruhi that occurred only three months after Kaoru himself had left the country. Supposedly if the information from his mother was to be trusted (and there was no other being alive in which he believed in more) Hikaru had taken a new girl every week or so since he had broken up recently, but she had caught her son on numerous occasions with various young men in compromising positions around the house.
He also knew his elder brother had recently been named captain of the soccer team and although his position as the half of the "forbidden love" was over, he continued as a popular member, sought out after by many young girls.
But what Kaoru did not know was what possibly could have happened for Haruhi and Hikaru, a promising, seemingly totally in love young couple, to break up. Why was Hikaru a once straight A student now passing with only low C's? What had happened that changed Hikaru so much, all at once his errant thoughts ceased as the English teacher questioned him once again trying to call his attention and introduce him to the class.
"What was that," Kaoru asked once his pondering was stopped abruptly. The teacher, waved his hand vaguely in the direction of a corner filled with empty desks. He nodded slightly, and walked to the far corner seat by the window, and gazed down upon the beauty that could be seen in the brilliance of the sky. In his brief wonderings, as the teacher introduced himself to the class ,he had missed the shocked and almost leering looks of his fellow highschool peers. For the once diminutive boy had has the cliche goes had 'become a man,' albeit a very feminine, exotic looking man. He no longer could be mistaken for Hikaru's twin, brother perchance, but the physical differences time had given to the two siblings was to great for them to be a mirror of each other.
Kaoru had grown his hair long, and it was braided stopping midback, and looked silkily soft. He wore his luxuriously clothes with an uncaringness which would have made most look pompous, but not so with Kaoru. His silk white shirt tucked halfway in his pants billowed about with his graceful movements, sensually hiding and at other times revealing portions of Kaoru's slim build, and his tight leather pants clung almost jealously to his skin. As he began to glance around the room with chillingly blue eyes, the other students noticed his long silky lashes that brushed upon pure white, unblemished skin lightly, and hiding those beauty filled orbs that seemed to not take notice of the appreciation of the his peers.
Indeed Kaoru had not seen the lopsided grins, and doe eyes directed toward him, instead his mind focused on much more pressing and serious matters. The reason he was here...
his mother...
Sorry it has taken longer than expected to download chapters, and my computer 'accidently' erased my chapters I had made in advance in spare time to download...and with thanksgiving holidays and it being the last quarter of the semester, it will sadly (..tear) take me even longer to write chapters, but I will persevere (ooohh..big word). Well, sorry and sorry and sorry again.

As I looked at my little brother standing in the doorway, my twin, my other half, my brother who I had missed for these last years, all I could think was he is standing in front of me at last. But instead of the usual feeling of relief that usually should and did accompany my heart by gazing at my younger brother, I instead felt a small churning in my stomach...
...as my mind vaguely recalled a haunntingly bittersweat dream of an innocent kiss.
