A week passes since your night with Hikaru, and you've been subconsciously avoiding him. Mikara has asked you why a few times, but you simply reply that you don't know and go about your bussiness. As the next weekend approached, you still find yourself avoiding Hikaru.
Why am I doing this...? you end up asking yourself, if he likes me... why should I avoid him?

Because what if he doesn't really like you? answered her innermost thoughts.

Mikara walked up behind you and taped you on the shoulder. You turn around to see her smiling at you.
"What are you up to?" you ask, recognising the mischevious glint in her eye.
"Hikaru misses you, you know," she answers, satisfied that you tensed up at that, "So you should go see him."
"But it's friday and mom is expecting me home..." you reply, looking away.
Mikara, obviously unsatisfied with that answer, grabs you by the arm and starts pulling you away, "You're going to go see him... I'll drive you home, kay?"
"B-b-but I!" you stutter, clutching your books and being helplessly dragged.
Sometimes you really do wonder why Mikara is so pushy...
She's really only thinking of me I guess... you think, smiling to yourself, After all, anything she's ever been pushy about has helped me!
One last tug on your arm brought you to the "unused" music room. Pulling you inside, Mikara called out a hello.

Inside, the host club were dressed up as knights. Tamaki greeted you then stood up.
Just as he was about to say something, Hikaru rushed forwards and took your hands.
"Tsuki!" he exclaimed, "I thought I'd never see you again!"
You blushed and realized that, hey, maybe he does like you if he had that reaction. Tamaki, looking a little deflated, sits back down and gives Hikaru and Kaoru, who has gone to Mikara's side, dirty looks.
"We'll be back in a bit, lordship!" Hikaru grinned, pulling you into the hall. Kaoru followed, escorting Mikara with him.
Outside the music room, Kaoru took Mikara by the hand and walked away. Hikaru took you the oposite way, and ultimately led you into the garden.
He took you to the tree you had sat under when you first had met him and sat down.
"Have a seat," he smiled, patting the ground beside him.
Reluctantly, you sat, but not too close. You were still worried about how angry your parents will be when you're late.

Meanwhile!

Kaoru had led Mikara to a rarely used part of the building. He smiled at her as he gently took her hand and she blushed but returned his smile.
"I'm glad you managed to get Tsuki to come around," he told her, "Hikaru doesn't stop talking about her... it gets a bit annoying!" he laughs.
Mikara smiled a bit, "She likes him too. She knows it and she knows I know... I guess she's just a little shy. I don't see why though. She's more outgoing than me for sure."
"You're outgoing too," Kaoru protested, "You're just more shy."
Mikara smiled a bit and blushed, "Shush... you aren't supposed to know that."
Kaoru chuckled and all of a sudden stoped. He took her in his arms and smiled at her.
"Brother and I both agree that it's time I do this..." sliding his hands down to her hips, he pulled her close and gently pressed his lips to hers.
Eyes wide, Mikara blushed horribly, stunned at what just happend. She certainly hadn't expected that! Closing her eyes and relaxing, she returned his kiss, wraping her arms loosely around his neck.
When they pulled apart, Mikara still surprised, Kaoru smiled.
"So does this mean that you'd accept to be my girlfriend?" he asked.
Mikara smiled widely, not believing what she just heard. Jumping into his arms and holding him tightly she cried, "Yes! Of course!"
Kaoru smiled and hugged her back, "I'm glad," he said, gently putting Mikara back onto her feet, "I just hope everything goes as well for Hikaru as it did for me."
Mikara's eyes widened, "HE'S GOING TO ASK HER TOO?!?!" she exclaimed.
Kaoru nodded, "Do you think it will go well?"
"I certainly hope so! Where did he take her?"
"To the garden, I believe."
"Well lets go! I want to know how this turns out!" Mikara said, rushing off towards the garden, Kaoru trailing behind her.

Back with you and Hikaru...

Hikaru put his hand on yours, carefully just incase you hadn't wanted him to. You didn't stop him though, even if your nagging sense of being punished when you got home was strong.
Just let it happen, you figured, once it's done, maybe mom will understand...
"Tsuki?" he says gently, snapping you out of your state of worry.
You look at him and realize how close he's gotten and blush barely enough to notice, "Yeah?" you ask quietly.
"You look worried about something... is it something I did?" he asks.
"N-no! Of course not!" you answer, feeling a bit silly, "I'm just... well, I just know I'll be in trouble for being home late."
"Did you want to go then? I won't stop you..." Hikaru says, reluctantly starting to take his hand off of yours.
You snatch it back, a little suprised at yourself, but you smile at him.
"No," you say, "I like being with you."
When the hell did I get so daring?! you ask yourself.
Hikaru smiled widely, a big one of releif and pleasure, "I'm glad to hear it," he said, "I hoped you liked being with me as much as I like being with you."
You hear a rustle in the bushes not too far off and glance over, but shrug it off as nothing. you look back at Hikaru and he's dangerously close...
"Tsuki," he whispers, moving so close his lips are brushing yours, "Would you be my girlfriend?"
You sat, shocked then, regaining your composure, you blurted out your answer...

Meanwhile at your house...

Your father wass looking out the window, angrily tapping his foot as your younger brother looks at him questioningly. Your mother came into the room wearing her apron and a smile.
"Come on honey, your supper will get cold if you dont eat soon," she told him.
"Grrrr..." your father grumbled, "I'm waiting for Tsuki! You know, our daughter who was due home AN HOUR AGO!!"
Itsuya smirked and headed into the kitchen, "Sister's in trouble." he muttered to himself, sitting down and starting to eat.
"Oh come now darling," your mother coaxed, "She's growing up, she's allowed to be a little late."
"You know what?!" your dad exclaimed triumphantly, "I bet she's with that damn rich boy again! GRRR!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" your mother snapped, you did love her so, "SHE IS ALLOWED TO BE WITH BOYS! SHE IS OLD ENOUGH! NOW MARCH INTO THAT KITCHEN AND EAT!"
"Y-yes dear, sorry..." your father mumbled as he walked past her into the kitchen.

Meanwhile...

"YES!" you exclaimed before you could stop yourself.
Hikaru smiled and moved forward the last little bit and pulled you into a passionate kiss. Of course, you didn't fight, you just kissed back...
Before you knew it, you were both laying down, Hikaru on top of you, kissing any part he could reach. You knew you would be in trouble... but you aparently didn't care enough to stop him as he kissed up your neck and moved to your lips. Gladly accepting his tongue, you sighed a bit, still surprised at what you were letting him do.
You were aware that his hands were on your hips, and his body was pressing up against yours, and you were also aware that your hands were on his chest. What you didn't notice was when Mikara hopped out of a bush with Kaoru and onto the path so it looked like they ran to you.
"TSUKI!" Mikara exclaimed as Kaoru just stood shyly behind her, not looking at you and his brother.
You jumped and felt Hikaru lift himself off you, if not somewhat reluctantly.
"Y-yeah Mikara?" you ask sheepishly, sitting up and fixing your hair.
Mikara gave you a bit of an apologetic look and smiled, "Shouldn't we get you home?"
"Oh... right!" you smiled at Hikaru, "I'll see you tomorrow."
You both stood up and Hikaru pulled you in and gave you one more tame kiss, "See you then," he smiled.
You walked over to Mikara and smiled, "Ready when you are."
"Alright, see you guys later," she smiled, giveing Kaoru a goodbye kiss and walking away with you.
You both got in her car and started driving away.
"That was a little much, Tsuki," Mikara pointed out.
"Sorry..." you mumble a little embarassed, "I didn't really realize what I was doing and I... well I guess we got carried away..."
Mikara laughed, "It's alright. I'm not yelling at you, I'm just saying!"
You laughed too as she pulled into your driveway, "Well, wish me luck... dad will flip."
"Good luck Tsuki!" Mikara waved as she pulled out of the drive and left.
You waved until she was out of sight then took a deep breth and stepped inside. Your mother was waiting for you and motioned for you to head to your room.
"Hurry before your father finishes eating, your supper is up there already," she smiled.
You smiled your thanks and hopped upstairs as fast as you could. Leave it to your mother to get you out of trouble.
You ate and realized how tired you were, so you headed to bed early, still remembering the warmth of Hikaru's body against yours...

That night...

As the twins settled in to go to bed, Kaoru gave Hikaru a strange look.
"What?" he asked.
"Well, don't you think you went a little far?" Kaoru asked.
"Maybe... I couldn't help it... you know me."
"Yeah," Kaoru agreed, sliding into bed with Hikaru, "You like to get carried away."
