Lost For Words

Description: Kaoru decides to write a love letter, so Haruhi will leave Hikaru to Kaoru, but it doesn't quite work out the way he thought.

Couples: KaoHaru, and a bit of HikaKao

Number of Words: 684

Note: On the last story, there's 1115 words, not 115

"She's so..." Hikaru struggled for words as he stared at Haruhi off in a corner, laughing and in a frilly dress. They were at a restaurant, and Kaoru thought he'd be alone with Hikaru but, of course, it was really to trace Haruhi as she caught up with some old friends.

"It's like she's an... an..." Tamaki also struggled for words.

"Angel," Kaoru explained and sighed.

Kaoru was the only one who seemed to be able to describe Haruhi correctly, for he didn't look at her as a potential lover. Yet, he did watch her, watched her much. Kaoru observed her actions and his eyes lingered on her as she wrote with her pen, as her mouth formed the words she was writing when she was lost for words. It baffled him sometimes as to why he stared at her so much, but he tried not to let it bother him.

Since they all seemed "lost for adjectives", Kaoru decided he'd write a love letter to Haruhi, directed from Tamaki, so that Haruhi would get off of Hikaru, so Kaoru could spend more time with him, because their relationship was breaking and cracking, and Haruhi was stealing Hikaru away.

Dear Haruhi (AKA, my shining star),

I know things have not gone right between us for awhile, but I want to make things right. You shine as bright as the stars themselves, and I find it hard not to wince in your beauty, but afraid if I did, I'd miss you forever. I have come to the time where you need to know, I love you, my sweet. I cannot keep my feelings away from you anymore.

You are my Juliet, the one I cannot have. I do wish that I could have you none-the-less. I can only hope you feel the same way.

Love,

Suoh Tamaki

Kaoru felt proud of his achievement and he hid it in Haruhi's desk, proud of himself.

Haruhi read it later, and smiled as she read over it, looking at what she knew was computer righting. However, she knew that it couldn't be Tamaki's writing, he'd never come out with it that easily, and that smoothly for that matter. So, she wrote a letter back to Kaoru.

Dear "Tamaki" (AKA, Kaoru),

I know it was you, and you can't pretend that it wasn't.

I didn't know you felt that way about me. I feel flattered that even YOU love me. Haha.

"Love"

Fujioka Haruhi

The more Kaoru read, the more pissed he became.

So he wrote to Haruhi on his computer to her, she was on the computer that the Hitachiins gave Haruhi earlier in the year.

WhichTwinIsIt? says:

Haruhi, why did you think I was the one who wrote that to you?

PoorandProud says:

Because you did, duh

WhichTwinIsIt? says:

I did not! Would you stop saying that?

PoorandProud says:

How did you know that something was written to me and that I didn't just joke around? Hmm?

WhichTwinIsIt? has logged off.

Kaoru slammed his fist into the wall furiously, luckily it was solid and hard, unfortunately it hurt severely.

He sobbed and crawled into his bed, sobbing as furiously as he was angry. Kaoru couldn't understand it, why did this girl bug him so much? She was the only one who could make him cry, the only one who made Kaoru feel anything but happiness and boredom.

"Kaoru?" Haruhi asked as she walked into the room. "Hikaru and I were downstairs, sorry for teasing you. Are you alright?"

"I'd be better if you left," Kaoru admitted.

Haruhi smiled, sat down, and stroked Kaoru's hair and hummed a bit.

Kaoru began to fall asleep and he whispered, "You're a lot like a mother."

"You're a lot like a father, and Hikaru's a lot like a kid," Haruhi joked.

"Haha, Kyoya is mom, you're mom, Tamaki's dad, I'm dad and-"

Kaoru stopped.

"You're mom and I'm dad?" Kaoru asked as he opened his eyes.

"Yeah, why not? It's a harmless game," Haruhi explained, shrugging.

Kaoru smiled and he wondered if the love letter he wrote was from Tamaki's point of view... or his own.
