Chapter 7: The Final Words

Disclaimer- I don't own the OHSHC or any of the characters. If I did I probably wouldn't have Haruhi secretly being a girl she'd be an actual boy. Or not in the anime at all.

Summary- Thursday has ended with Kaoru forgiving Hikaru. Kaoru however hasn't answered the most important question he's ever been asked. Will he say yes and heal Hikaru's heart or will he say no and completely destroy Hikaru's every hope? Well if you wanna know you have to read to find out.

A/N- New A/N note! This chapter is in 3rd person. This is the final chapt! Thanks so much to all the ppl who reviewed especially whenpigsflythensure who reviewed every chapt. So sad it's over. Well here's the chapt

*Friday*

"I don't know what to say. I love Hikaru but I'm so confused still." Kaoru thought as he walked to the classroom.

Haruhi wasn't coming to school until later because of a dentist appointment so it was just Kaoru and Hikaru. Kaoru reached the door but froze. His heart began to beat wildly and he felt like running.

"Kaoru are you ok?" Hikaru asked as Kaoru looked up.

"Huh? I thought you were in there." Kaoru asked looking at the dark classroom.

"No we actually didn't have to come here today. Most of the students have gone home. Haruhi called me and said that he wasn't coming and to tell you that." Hikaru said as Kaoru continued to stare at the classroom.

"So we're leaving as well." Kaoru said as he pulled out his phone but Hikaru stopped him.

"You're coming with me. I already asked your mom." Hikaru said smiling as Kaoru blushed.

"You asked her if I could go with you to your place?" Kaoru asked speechlessly.

"Yes and some other things." Hikaru said taking Kaoru's hand and leading him outside to the waiting limo.

"What else did you ask my mom?" Kaoru asked glancing out of the corner of his eye as he looked out of the window.

"I'll tell you later. You never gave me my answer though. Are you mine?" Hikaru asked as Kaoru smiled.

"I'll tell you that later also." Kaoru said continuing to look out the window until they arrived at the mansion.

"Fine by me so what shall we do?" Hikaru asked as they entered the mansion only to be greeted by Hikaru's mother.

"You're home early Hikaru. Oh and you brought a friend. You must be Kaoru...Hikaru has told me a lot about you." Hikaru's mom said smiling.

"Yea we didn't have to go today we coulda stayed home. Me and Kaoru will be in my room." Hikaru said as he led Kaoru to the stairs.

"I have some business to attend to. I'll be back later." Hikaru's mom said headed for the door.

"Ok mom!" Hikaru answered as they entered his room.

"Those 2 will be just fine together. Hikaru won't let anything bad happen to Kaoru. Kaoru will change Hikaru for the better I know it. I've never seen my son this in love. That boy is ok by me as long as they don't break each other's hearts." Hikaru's mom thought as she left.

Inside Hikaru's room Kaoru stood there looking around. This room was the same as his except it was black and red. The bed was draped in black satin sheets with red lines tracing all over the bed like fireworks exploding.

"I thought your room would be different from mine." Kaoru said looking around.

"It was but I like the way you modeled yours so I had mine arranged the same way." Hikaru said sitting on the bed as everything went silent and Kaoru laid beside him.

Neither of them wanted to say a word so they just laid there in silence staring at the ceiling and occasionally stealing glances at each other. What they thought was a long moment of silence was actually hours of silence.

"Kaoru...it's nighttime. I can't believe we've been up here this long without saying a word to each other." Hikaru said as he sat up.

"Hikaru...will you tell me what you asked my mom now?" Kaoru asked looking over to him.

"Sure as long as it doesn't offend you." Hikaru said laying back down.

"It won't unless you asked her if I ever had dreams of you or something ridiculous like that." Kaoru said laughing.

"No I promise it wasn't something like that...but thinking about that I wish I did now." Hikaru said kissing Kaoru's head.

"Then tell me and stop stalling." Kaoru said glancing over to Hikaru.

"Right..." Hikaru said as he stared at the ceiling.

*Flashback*

Kaoru's mother was downstairs and Kaoru was at Haruhi's house. Kaoru's mother was watching some soap opera on tv when the phone rang.

"Hello." Kaoru's mother said answering the phone.

"Hi . Is Kaoru there?" Hikaru asked.

"No he's at Haruhi's. He'll be back soon. Do you want me to tell him you called?" asked.

"No. I wanted to ask you a few things." Hikaru said trying not to get nervous.

"Ok what is it you want to know?" asked.

"I don't know if Kaoru told you what's going on at school but I'm in love with him. I know it seems weird and you may not like it but that's the way I feel. I hurt him, I didn't mean to but now I don't know if he still loves me. I guess what I'm trying to find out is if it's ok that I love your son and if he still loves me." Hikaru said to end his rambling.

"Oh my...it's quite ok with me. I'm glad someone loves Kaoru. I can't answer if he loves you but everything I've heard from him about you has always been something good. If you want Kaoru to be yours then I give you my blessing and hope you can convince him." said trying not to cry.

"Really! Thank you so much!" Hikaru said with a lot of hope in his voice.

"You're welcome. I won't tell Kaoru a word. Bye." said as she and Hikaru hung up.

*End of Flashback*

"You actually asked my mom if it was ok!" Kaoru exclaimed slightly sitting up as Hikaru nodded.

"I just had to know if it was ok." Hikaru said looking at Kaoru.

"I just can't believe you did that." Kaoru said as Hikaru smiled.

"Now it's your turn to answer my question. Are you mine?" Hikaru asked as Kaoru began to smile.

"...one week." Kaoru said as Hikaru looked puzzled.

"One week what?" Hikaru asked as Kaoru laughed.

"All it took was one week for me to fall in love with you, to break up with you, question my heart and the voices in my head. Then today I finally realized that what I was running from was true love. You never gave up...so the answer is yes. Hikaru Hitachiin I'm yours." Kaoru said as he and Hikaru sat up.

"A kiss will seal the deal. If that's not a problem." Hikaru said as he and Kaoru leaned forward.

"I don't think that's a problem." Kaoru said as they shared a kiss but not just any kiss their 1st kiss as a true couple.

As the winter break began and continued Hikaru and Kaoru became inseparable. Hikaru even convinced Kaoru to put a couple streaks of black in his hair. They never expected just 1 week would change their perspectives or attitudes towards each other. Kaoru looks back to that faithful Friday everytime he's with Hikaru and is grateful that Hikaru never gave up and that they met in the 1st place.

A/N- And the story is done. I'm sooooooooooooooooo sorry it's taken me a month to update and finish. I just don't know what happened to me. It's so sad it's over but this isn't the only Ouran story I'm going to write. The other story may not be up however 'til the summer. I'm taking this time to finish my Yugioh 5ds stories and start a couple more that won't leave my thoughts alone. Thanks so much to all of you that read and reviewed. Until the next page of my new Ouran High School Host Club story is written...Maria Starlight out.
