Chapter 6 – Emergency
Hikaru's thoughts wandered as rain began to pour from the sky along with thunder and lightning. They wandered to Atsuko. Kaoru's eyes wandered to his brother again and his worries became enhanced. 'Only Hikaru understands me. Without him, I'm in the dark.' Both twins' thought processes were interrupted when the French driver said, "I can't see either of those girls anymore monsieur."
"Well drop us off. We'll look for them." Hikaru said. Kaoru sighed. Hikaru was too determined to notice that his twin was upset. Both twins stepped out into the battering rain. It had been so nice out just 10 minutes ago. Hikaru grabbed hold of Kaoru's wrist and they started trudging through the storm.
10 minutes earlier...
Kimiko looked at the churning black clouds. "It's a storm Atsuko." she mumbled, her voice shaking with fright as the first few drops of rain began to fall. "Come on, let's get some shelter." Atsuko said and she began running. Kimiko ran alongside her at their odd speed and scanned the area around them for somewhere to hide from the storm. Unlike Haruhi who just feared thunder, the twins were deathly afraid of storms in general. Distracted, Kimiko soon lost sight of her sister in the dense fog. Her head whirled around and stopped on a large tree that blocked all rain from the small area around it. She ran to the tree, sat the the foot of it, and shook with sobs of fear. Fear of the storm and fear for her sister.
Atsuko noticed Kimiko was no longer behind her, she glanced at the sky. She had no time to look for her. She was close to their home now so she ran the rest of the way, making it inside just before the first of the thunder and lightning began.
Back to the present...
"I think we have an emergency. We need to split up and look for them!" Hikaru shouted over the storm. His words cut Kaoru deeper then they should have but he said, "Okay. I'll look for Kimiko and you look for Atsuko!" Hikaru nodded and took off running. Kaoru took off as well, tears stinging his eyes as his past worries were like salt in his emotional cut. 'If he thinks I'll bleed then he is wrong, because I won't stop holding on.' he encouraged himself. Soon he came to the large tree and saw a shaking figure under it.
Curious and worried for the figure, he walked closer. Then he recognized the now wet black hair. "Kimiko? Kimiko, is that you?" he asked over the noise of the storm. The girl didn't answer, she only whimpered quietly, "K-Kaoru..." then shook again as lightning lit up the sky. She looked up at him, her black eyes wet with tears and showing all the fear she felt. Compelled by the strange feelings Kaoru had begun to feel for the girl, he went to sit by her. Her black orbs followed him, tears still spilling from them. She leaned into his side, squeezing her eyes shut. Kaoru had never had much experience with girls. So he followed his instinct. He timidly put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her to him. "D-Don't be scared." he murmured, blushing. Kimiko blushed as well but felt oddly comforted by his sudden presence.
Hikaru ran down the streets, looking for the black hair. He also looked at each house for a sign of Atsuko or Kimiko. Then he came to a medium sized white house with a sign by the door. He squinted to read it through the rain. 'Nakamura' it read. He ran up to the door and rang the bell. "Come in!" called a voice. Hikaru opened the door and saw nobody. "Hello? Atsuko?" he called. "In the kitchen!" Atsuko called. He followed the voice and when he found her exhaled. "You're all wet, go ahead and grab a towel from the closet." Atsuko said, pointing to a door in the hallway. Hikaru obeyed then said, "Where's your sister. Kaoru was looking for her." Worry came into Atsuko's eyes, "I dunno. You see, we're really afraid of storms and so I started running to get home. Then I don't know where she went." "Well you don't have to worry. Kaoru went to find her." Hikaru comforted her. Atsuko nodded and went back to preparing dinner. She remembered Kimiko's words earlier. "Everyone's worth pleasing Atsuko."
Did everyone include Hikaru?
