Hello again. :) I know this update is really quick, but I just really wanted to give you guys the first chapter. I normally won't update this fast. (Although I will update as much as possible) Thanks so much, if you took time to read this story. Oh and their will not be any twincest in here, Its not that twincest bothers me a lot- actually it does with anyone other then Hikaru/Kaoru- Its just that I don't want it to be in this story. It will be Haruhi/ some undecided host club member. I kinda like Hika/Haru or Tama/Haru but I'm pretty much up for whatever. What do you guys want?
Chapter One: Bittersweet Memories.
Kaoru was sitting next to his brother on the couch. Although they weren't talking- actually they weren't doing anything. They just sat there. Neither of them knew why they were, maybe it was just boredom? The sad thing was they hadn't even attempted to make a conversation. 'Come on just say something.' Kaoru thought to himself, quickly glancing over at his brother and then back at the ground. He sat there for another second, the silence in between them becoming tension.
"Uh, so what are you doing today?" Kaoru asked quickly, trying to break the silence that seemed to last hours.
"I don't know." Hikaru said sounding annoyed as he leaned back against the couch that they were both sitting on. Kaoru frowned slightly, trying not to feel disheartened by the failed attempt to get Hikaru to talk to him.
"Okay then, since your not doing anything.." He paused wondering if he should suggest it. Hikaru looked at him from the side, looking uninterested in what his brother had to say. "Do you want to hang out like old times?" He paused once again trying to make his plea sound more interesting. "We could go somewhere or something?"
Hikaru frowned, and he looked completely disgusted by the idea. "Not really." Kaoru felt horrible, he was really hoping if his brother said no, that he would at least let him down nicely.
"O-Okay." Kaoru said his voice stuttering a little bit. His perfect cover slipped because he knew that it wasn't okay. It would never be 'okay' again. At least when it came to his brother Hikaru, he was convinced. 'Why doesn't he like me anymore?' Kaoru thought to himself, feeling as low as anyone ever could, knowing they lost their brother.
They continued to sit there silently until Hikaru's phone rang. "What?" Hikaru said nastily as he picked up the unknown number.
"Hikaru Its so nice to hear you again!" The voice said over the phone excitedly, obviously not phased by Hikaru's tone.
"Tono?" Hikaru said with a mixture of shock and annoyance seeping into his voice.
"What?" Kaoru asked, looking hopefully at the phone, wondering if it was Tono or someone else from the host club.
"Yes, that's me!" Tamaki said excitedly. Hikaru could just imagine Tamaki, wherever he was, being as stupid as ever. Hikaru's shock faded and he felt a sudden wave of rage from being 'abandoned' by the host club. He felt as if they lost contact with Hikaru and Kaoru on purpose. "Where did you get my cell phone number?" He spat.
"Kyouya looked you guys up!" He said still sounding eager, like he didn't even know that Hikaru was angry. But that just made Hikaru even more annoyed.
"Whatever Tono." He said quickly. "What do you want?" He asked, still sounding annoyed and angry. Kaoru couldn't help but to feel a twinge of hope that he hadn't felt in a long time. He smiled slightly, and he couldn't help but to wonder why Hikaru was so angry? It seemed silly.
"I want you and Kaoru to come to a party." Tamaki said sounding like he was a little kid who just his got ice cream. "Come on, you guys know where my estate is."
"No." Hikaru said angrily and hung up. Almost a second after that Kaoru's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" Kaoru asked hopefully. He smiled as he heard the all too familiar voice. Who ever would've thought Tamaki would be the one to contact them first?
"Kaoru your brother is being ridiculous! You would come to the party at my estate right?" Tamaki asked feeling a tiny bit annoyed, although he didn't really show it. He was hoping Kaoru would agree to come, and bring his stubborn brother too.
"Yeah, I would go." Kaoru couldn't help but feel pleased. He would get to see Tamaki again, and maybe his other friends. He almost knew that if Tamaki would invite them, then the others must have been going too. They had to of right?
Hikaru glared at his twin, his insides smoldering with anger. Kaoru pretended not to feel Hikaru's stare burn into the side of his head. Why was his twins gaze so hard to ignore?
"Yay!" Tamaki squealed, which Kaoru was going to have to get used to again. Tamaki was too weird, but he had to admit that he missed him. He missed all of the Host Club members. "It's Friday night at eight o clock." Kaoru smiled.
"We'll be there." Kaoru said speaking for both of them,
"What do you mean them?" Hikaru lashed out angrily. "Don't tell me what to do."
"I can't wait!" Tamaki said on the other line, pretending he didn't hear Hikaru's anger. "See you then."
"Bye." Kaoru said half-smiling as he hung up. He looked over at his brother who was pouting. He found it a little hard to believe that his brother was still the most immature person he knew. "We are going to that party Hikaru." He paused and thought for a minute. "And your going to have fun." He fake smiled, and walked away leaving his brother there to pout.
…
Haruhi heard her phone ring but, didn't feel like waking up to get it. She stayed up really late last night, finishing homework that she put off until the last second. But somehow miraculously she got up to get it.
"Hello?" She asked groggily. Why was there no caller Id for this person? She just shook off the thought and waited for what seemed like forever.
"Haruhi.." A familiar voice said softly on the other end.
"Tamaki-senpai?" she asked voicing her thoughts. "H-how did you..?" She lost track of what she was going to say.
"Um.. Haruhi, I just called to ask you if you wanted to come to a party I'm having at my estate?" He paused wondering why he was feeling this wave of sadness for all the time he missed with Haruhi, It was uncharacteristic of him to feel and act in this manner.
"Yeah, that would be fun but I should focus on my studies senpai.." She said quietly.
"The other former hosts will be there, so we kind of need you. It's like a reunion." He couldn't help but to smile at the thought of the party.
"Uh, I guess I could go.." She said sounding a bit torn. She was supposed to be focusing on her studies, but she couldn't resist this chance. She sat down on her bed again, still feeling a bit tired.
"Yay! I can't wait to see my little girl again!" He said ecstatic, suddenly the exact opposite of what he was a minute ago.
"Can't wait to see you either Tamaki-senpai." She smiled, unsure if it was fake or not. "What time?"
"Its Friday night at eight o clock." 'Okay, then maybe I can go after classes that day.' She smiled genuinely this time.
"See you then." She said simply.
"Bye." He said back, secretly feeling a bit sad that the conversation ended so soon.
She laid down on her bed again, feeling her heart beat fast. She was going to see her friends again, it felt so bitter-sweet. 'I shouldn't worry, I doubt they've changed. I bet they're still the same goof balls.' Haruhi tried to soothe herself mentally. She didn't know at the time how wrong she really was.
