Kaoru didn't know how it happened, but it did, and he was staring at him again.

"Kaoru?" Hikaru worried as he poked Kaoru at lunch. "What's wrong?"

"Does Nekozawa look different?" Kaoru wondered.

"Not to me, does he to you?"

Kaoru shook his head, deciding not to worry his brothers with his silly teenage emotions. Kaoru focused his attention on Hikaru as he babbled on again, but his gaze slowly diverted back to the man in the dark black robe. He smiled at the cute little cat puppet that rest on the man's hand as he held Kirimi, his adorable blonde, kindergarten sister. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't focus on Hikaru's babbling to Haruhi. Hikaru was talking about some mumbo jumbo from Chemistry class that Haruhi didn't understand, and Kaoru didn't even like Chemistry, so why should he listen if he didn't want to?

"Kaoru," Nekozawa called to Kaoru as he was alone outside after school. Kaoru said he needed some fresh air.

"Hmm?" Kaoru asked as he looked at the dark boy running to him and a deep blush took over his cheeks, and he tried to hide it as best as he could. Nekozawa stopped infront of Kaoru and he bent over, breathing heavily from being in the sun too long and from running so fast. "Don't kill yourself now. You got enough sun when you jumped out that window after Kirimi-chan."

"Why... were you staring at me?" Nekozawa finally huffed out, turning his gaze up to look into Kaoru's eyes.

He saw pure horror.

"I wasn't... I mean... I-" Kaoru tried to explain but couldn't. "It was..."

"Kaoru! There you are!" Hikaru shouted as he dashed over. "I was worried about you man!"

Kaoru took a deep breath and turned to his brother and sighed and looked back to Nekozawa.

"No reason, just curious to see how cultists act," Kaoru brushed it off, rather snottily.

Only, Nekozawa couldn't forget that pure horror in those eyes and that blush on the face, and the way he could hear Kaoru's heartbeat quicken from how close he was. It made him smile when he thought about it, and he turned to look at Kaoru as he left and he saw Kaoru's head quickly jerk back to looking forward.

Surely, Nekozawa was going to talk to Kaoru again.
