A/N: So, I left you on a cliffhanger for the previous chapter, now here is the continuation. Please R&R! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Still not mine.
Nastuki froze in shock and horror when he caught Kei forcibly kissing Haruka. His permanent smile slowly curling turning into a dark frown. Haruka's beautiful honey colored eyes were wide open in shock as she stood helplessly with her hands pinned above her head. She was being held by one of Kei's much larger hands while the other trailed ghost-like caresses over her porcelain skin. Her small frame was just barely covered by a short babydoll nightgown that was as white as the full moon outside the window, her blue cardigan lay on the floor. She shivered, whether from cold or fear, Natsuki did not know.
Finally regaining the ability to move, Natsuki approached Kei, his cheerful green eyes growing darker, more dangerous. "Let her go," he said with forced politeness and a tight smile. Kei ignored the other man and continued to kiss his sister.
Natsuki went to place a hand on his shoulder, but Kei forcibly slapped it away, never stopping his attack on Haruka's ivory skin. Natsuki stumbled back, falling onto Haruka's soft, lavender carpet, his face now hidden by messy golden curls.
"Stay out of it, Idol-boy," Kei growled. "For twelve years I hid my feelings, but now I'm done with pretending to be a good onii-san. This is between Haruka and I."
"Oh yeah?" a new voice questioned. Kei ignored the man, not sensing the impending danger. He was too busy kissing Haruka's neck while the golden-eyed girl squirmed to notice the cracking of knuckles and a dark, almost evil chuckle.
Natsuki looked up to reveal that his glasses had fallen and Satsuki was out. "Let me show you something Lover-boy, Haruka is mine."
Satsuki growled, something low, primal, and murderous as he pulled Kei off of Haruka and punched him in the jaw. Haruka gasped as Kei stumbled back against her white bedroom wall, a little blood trailing down his chin from his newly split lip.
Kei chuckled almost as darkly before he lunged at Satsuki. Satsuki smirked, easily flipping the older man onto his back with a resounding "thud".
Haruka's knees gave way as she fell to the carpet, watching the fight with a sort of resigned horror. Then, Kei did the impossible, he landed a punch on Satsuki, but not before Satsuki had kicked him in the gut. Kei stumbled back, spitting a bit of blood, wincing slightly in pain.
Haruka had had enough! Both of these men were important to her, and she was not about to let them kill each other. Just as they began circling each other like vultures for another round, she jumped to her feet, quickly racing over to Satsuki. She wrapped her arms around his neck, standing on tiptoe. "Please stop! Please stop," she begged, her amber orbs searching his emerald ones.
Satsuki looked down at the girl he loved in confusion. "You wanted him to kiss you?" his voice held confusion. He slowly lowered his raised fists, wrapping Haruka in the safety of his arms, still sending murderous glares at Kei. Kei was doubled over, coughing blood as he gave a morose smile.
It was then that the rest of STARISH amd Haruka's family decided to poke their heads into Haruka's room, having been awakened by the noise from the fight. Ren, Tokiya, and Cecil were shirtless, showing their toned bodies, but Haruka would get to admire those later. All of their hair was ruffled and their clothes were wrinkled from sleep. Minori's hair was in a messy pink braid that looked like it had been through a hurricane and Shintaro and Kaito's spiky black hair stuck up at odd angles. Everyone standing in the doorway was extremely confused as they took in Kei's bloodied face and Satsuki with his arms wrapped around a still-shaking Haruka.
"S-Satsuki!" Syo exclaimed, worried about what the unstoppable force had done or would do.
"No!" She shook her head violently, pink stands whipping her cheeks. "I love Kei, but not the way I love you and the others. But please, he is still my brother. I don't want you guys to hurt each other." She buried her head against Satsuki's chest, gripping his green t-shirt in her fists as tears slid down her cheeks.
Kei laughed humorlessly. He had been right, she didn't love him that way. How could he be so stupid? He had really blown it, now he couldn't even show his face to Haruka. Standing with a grimace, he pushed past the crowd standing in the doorway and he walked out the front door, disappearing into the night before anyone could stop him.
He faintly heard Haruka calling his name. "Kei! Kei-nii! Please stop!" He ran faster, tears running down his face at his unbelievable stupidity. What was he thinking? Not only did she have seven of the most popular men in Japan ready to wait on her hand and foot, but she was pregnant. He had assaulted his pregnant sister. God, what kind of human did that make him? He screamed in frustration at himself.
Once he had run far enough from the house, he collapsed on a large rock in the middle of the moonlit glade, burying his face in his the crook of his arm, crying. He had really done it today. Maybe she would forgive him one day, she wasn't the type to hold grudges after all.
He groaned. He needed to fall in love with someone else. Someone preferably not in a relationship, pregnant, or related to him. He laughed slightly at his own idiocy. He would pull himself together and apologize eventually. Not today, probably not tomorrow, but definitely someday.
...xxXXxx...
Haruka ran out of the bedroom, chasing after he brother, but she was not fast enough to catch the former track runner. She cried, falling to her knees again. She really did love Kei, but she had never thought of- could never think of- him as anything but her older brother.
Otoya sat down to her right, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder as she cried with her face in her hands. Cecil sat to her left, gently rubbing her back when the sobs subsided into hiccups. Syo's warm hands brought her to her feet before Ren scooped her up in his arms, gently pressing her tiny frame against his muscular chest and carrying her back to her room. They knew just what she needed right now, and they were happy to do it.
Satsuki stood in the shadows of her bedroom as Ren lowered her to the mattress and Masato pulled the covers up to her chin. Tokiya sat by her bedside for a few minutes, soothingly rubbing her forehead and whispering sweet nothings. When the hiccups finally subsided, and Tokiya left, Satsuki stood awkwardly, looking at Haruka's tear-stained face.
He began to leave when her shaky voice stopped him. He turned to her in surprise. "Please don't leave me alone," she whispered, her voice wavering slightly. Satsuki looked around, he was going to sit on her desk chair when she gently patted the edge of her bed.
He sat down. "I'm sorry," he began awkwardly, he never did like words, but then again, he didn't usually like people either. Yet, this girl had found a way into both Natsuki's heart and his, after all, they were one and the same deep down.
"No. Don't be sorry, you saved me. I'm sorry that it had to be from my brother. I have never seen him like that. I had no idea that he might do something like that." Her voice started to shake again like she was going to cry.
Satsuki panicked. What did one do with a crying girl? Luckily for him, she did not cry again, but he took her tiny hand in his larger one anyway. Her hand was small like a child's, but thin like a lady's and surprisingly soft for that of a pianist.
"Haruka," his voice was unusaully gentle as he spoke to her. "Promise me that you will watch over Natsuki for me. I have a feeling he won't be needing me as much soon."
Haruka gasped. "Satsuki, you are not a crutch for Natsuki anymore, you are a part of him, a facet of his personality, and I love you and him both. Please don't talk like a man on his deathbed!" She was sitting up now, leaning against the headboard, her legs tangled in the light green sheets. Her hair was a little messy, but Satsuki loved it anyway.
She stared deep into his emerald orbs, searching for anything other than resignation. She grabbed his other hand, surprising him by pulling him into a tight hug. Satsuki froze in surprise at first, but his cold features quickly warmed. He could feel her gently swollen abdomen through the cotton fabric of her dress. She took his face in her hands. "Promise me that you won't disappear. Natsuki is stronger now, but both of you are my knights in shining armor. Whether it be Piyo-chan armor or otherwise. I don't want to lose anyone else tonight."
He looked into her honeycomb eyes, feeling guilty. He looked down with her hands still on his cheeks. She suddenly brought his face up and kissed him on the lips. He nearly jumped, extremely startled by her actions. She started to pull back, as if surprised by her own actions, but Satsuki put a hand behind her head and crashed his lips against hers once more.
"I love you, Nanami Haruka," two voices mumbled against her lips. Suddenly, he was surrounded by a golden light as his two personalities merged back into one. After years of despair and heartbreak caused by that woman, Natsuki had fallen in love again, and Satsuki fell for Haruka too. The two broken halves of his soul became one as he looked at Haruka passionately.
"Thank you for accepting all of me. Thank you for making me whole again," he whispered lovingly, crying in relief. He had finally been freed from his curse and his pain. Natsuki looked at her with new eyes, eyes that showed his adoration and his passion simultaneously. "We- I love you, Haru-chan."
Haruka pulled him into another hug and he kissed her once more, grateful to his little fairy, his Haru-chan.
A/N: Satsuki is not gone. He and Natsuki became one person like they used to be before the incident in his childhood. Now Natsuki and Satsuki are one, but Nacchan will still have kawaii moments and Satsuki-like traits will surface from time to time so he can act a little bipolar. This chapter was mostly Natsuki/Satsuki x Haruka
