Chappie 2!

Time Jump: End Of School

"Okay guys! Tomorrow we'll talk about our plans for the upcoming season change!," announced Tamaki enthusiastically as he sidled out the door.

Honey and Mori were next to go, quietly pondering whether Tamaki would bring back the Kotatsu's from last year. Haruhi hung back, changing, gathering up her school work that she had begun to work on when the customers had cleared out. She glanced around, her eyes settling on Kaoru, who was sitting alone looking dejected.

"Hey, where's Hikaru. It's weird to see you to apart. Did you guys have a fight?" Questioned Haruhi as she plopped sown beside him.

"I dunno... Things have been weird lately. I think something come between us but I don't know what. Hikaru doesn't know either," muttered Kaoru darkly.

"Maybe you guys know what's bothering you, but you're both afraid to acknowledge it. I mean, If you both seem to be acting the same way, maybe the same thing is bothering you two."

Kaoru rolled his eyes regarding Haruhi thoughtfully. How come he couldn't like a nice girl like her? Or any of the other girls who he entertained on a regular basis? Why was it always Hikaru? As his eye brows knit together in frustration, the set of doors leading to the hall opened and Hikaru entered with his trademark grin. It faltered when he saw how close Kaoru and Haruhi were sitting.

"Kaoru, let's go home.," Hikaru turned on his heel and left without a backwards glance.

"Hikaru wait!", shouted Kaoru as he bolted after his brother, leaving Haruhi alone.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Why'd you leave me back there," demanded Kaoru as he threw himself upon the seat of the luxury vehicle.

Hikaru continued to stare out the window as if his younger brother hadn't spoken. His expression was glumly pensive as he studied the passing scenery. Why was Kaoru sitting with Haruhi? Does he like her? Nervous clenches consumed his insides as he glared pensively out the window. Droplets of water began to mar the scenery.

Awesome, thought Kaoru, now the weather matches my mood.

"Just tell me whats wrong Hikaru," muttered Kaoru dejectedly.

Hikaru stayed plastered to the window, yet his body shifted minutely, away from Kaoru.

"Fine! Ignore me then!"

As the luxury vehicle pulled into the drive-way, Kaoru opened the door. As the vehicle began to pull to a stop, he turned to Hikaru, who, at the sound of the door opening, pivoted to look at him. Frustration, pent up from the past several days exploded in Kaoru's mind as he he regarded Hikaru's seemingly stoic gaze.

"You're such a girl!" Kaoru claimed as venomously as he could, before he slammed the door and stalked into the house.

"Pfft. Tantrum and I'm the girl?" murmured Hikaru as though his twin could hear him.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Kaoru paced in the mansions library, knowing Hikaru wouldn't look for him after his little episode. What am I? A two year old? It had been years since Kaoru had lost control of his emotions like that. Frustration boiled in his abdomen as he tried to comprehend Hikaru's actions. Was Hikaru worried that Kaoru would make new friends and leave Hikaru behind? Discomfort swarmed his innards as he thought of how Hikaru must feel, if he thought they were growing apart.

Flopping himself upon the floor Kaoru pondered Haruhi's suggestion; could it ever be possible that Hikaru likes me back? Oh well. Given the present predicament, he doesn't seem to like me much now.

Sighing in defeat, Kaoru sat up and grabbed a random book off the shelf to help distract his jumbled mind.

Sorry for the slow update! This has been sitting in my computer for 3 months... I know I fail! Thanks for the reviews! I still dunno how to answer them but I'm getting there! Technology is not my strong point... Sorry again! It's short! 3
