Chapter 9
~Hikaru~
I woke with a start.
The dim lighting in the room only made my terror more real.
Kaoru was breathing heavily.
"Kaoru?" I squeaked.
I heard a relieved sigh bedside me, "You're okay… Hikaru, I'm so, so sorry."
"It's okay Kaoru. It's not your fault…"
….
~Kaoru~
I leapt off my chair and wrapped Hikaru in an inseparable hug.
"Ow…" I heard him murmur.
I pulled back, "Oh, sorry."
I realised I had tears down my face.
I plucked a tissue and rubbed my eyes.
"Bad dream?" Hikaru asked.
I nodded, "Yeah. You?"
Hikaru shakily nodded, "It was… Black… Do you… Think that… I'm…"
I tilted my head, "What? Think that you're what?"
Hikaru winced, "Think that I'm… Disgusting…?"
I gasped, "Where on earth would you get that idea?"
Hikaru whimpered.
I sighed, "Of course I don't! I love you!"
"Did you dream that we crashed into the ground?"
I nodded, "Telepathy again?"
"I think so…"
I sadly smiled at him, "This is gonna be hard, huh?"
Hikaru nodded, then held out his hand. I took it and squeezed.
"We'll be okay. I promise."

~Hikaru~
"I'm going home? Really?" I was nervous.
The doctor nodded. Kaoru was grinning.
I sat up in the hospital bed. My ribs were still a bit sore, as was my leg.
But my arm was fine.
I was blind in my left eye though.
"Come on, I'll help you get changed." Kaoru said as the doctor handed him a t-shirt and some pants.
I nodded hesitantly and the doctor left.
Kaoru helped me get undressed then put the new clothes on.
A nurse gave me a pair of crutches and I walked for the first time in almost three weeks.
Kaoru guided me outside and into a limo.
I winced as a wave of memories flashed across my mind. Ones of her.
I shook my head, then followed Kaoru into the long black car.
He held my hand.
When we pulled up to the mansion I hadn't seen in around two months, I felt my eyes light up.
Kaoru helped me out of the car and led me up the long front path.
"Wow. I've missed this place." I mused.
Kaoru smiled.
I waited in front of the door as Kaoru typed a passcode into the little device on the doorframe.
As the door swung open, I the four most important people in my life, aside from my twin.
Tamaki smiled softly at me, "Hikaru!"
Hunny beamed, all his teeth showing, "Hika-Chan! You're back!"
He ran over and lightly hugged me around the waist.
Mori nodded, "Welcome back."
Kyoya smiled, "Glad to have you back."
I fell into tears.
"Gah! What's wrong?!" Tamaki started panicking.
I looked up, "I'm happy, idiot."
Tamaki pouted.
Kaoru laughed, and hugged me around the shoulders, "Oh, I have missed you so much."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw tears sliding down his face.
