The next day Hikaru spotted Masao and his two cronies outside the high school building. They were standing around, talking and laughing with one another. He walked directly up to them. "You hurt my brother, you bastards!" he stated defiantly. "You will regret your stupidity."

"Oh yeah!" growled Masao, and the chase was on. Hikaru led them straight to the hedge maze. He made sure to keep his distance without losing them. Though the broken branches had long since been taken care of, he knew the path to take by heart.

When the three thugs turned the corner to the dead end, they stopped short. Both twins sat side by side on the stone bench, their arms draped protectively over each other's shoulders. They leaned their heads together, and identical grins spread across their faces. If it weren't for the lingering bruises on Kaoru's face, they would have looked like a mirror image.

"Well, well, well. What have we here?" sneered Masao. "Deja vu, only with double the fun! You think we can't take on two little queer boys? Ha! We'll kill two birds with one stone." He laughed at his own joke.

The twins just sat and smiled, as though greatly amused by something. "What's your problem?" Masao roared. He did not like the fact that they weren't cringing in fear. "I'll wipe those stupid grins off both your faces!"

Just then Masao heard a quiet 'Thump, thump,' behind him. He slowly turned to see his two cohorts slumped on the ground. Honey stood over one prone body; Mori over the other.

"What the hell!?" he snarled. Realizing he was now out numbered, Masao decided to beat a hasty retreat. Honey and Mori let him pass between them as he exited the dead end. They didn't want to have all the fun.

Haruhi stood in the center of the path. Masao snorted. Did they think this small boy could stop him? Turning to the right, he was confronted by Tamaki, standing with his arms folded next to Kasanoda. Behind them were arranged a formidable crew of Kasanoda's underlings.

He whirled around to try his luck in the other direction. Here he faced a grim looking Kyoya, backed by the Ootori Private Police force.

Masao was surrounded on all sides. He turned back to Haruhi, the least formidable of the assembled adversaries. She stared at him sternly. "You hurt our friend," she stated plainly. "We can't allow that."

The Yakuza never saw it coming. Haruhi delivered a swift, sharp kick to his groin. He grabbed his crotch and crumpled to the ground with an agonized groan. Tamaki stepped forward and looked down at the pitiful form, writhing in pain. "Maybe if you were punished for your offensive behavior, you might think twice before imposing your narrow-minded world view upon innocent people."

Kyoya joined Tamaki. "Especially one with so many powerful friends." He motioned to the police force. "Take this filth away."

"Wait!" called the twins together. They stood up and walked over to the mewling bully on the ground. They looked at each other and nodded. Then they both gave him one more kick, for good measure.

"Feel better?" Hikaru asked his twin as the police dragged the three Yakuza off the ground and escorted them away.

"Much," Kaoru confirmed.

Hikaru took his twin in his arms. "Do you still want to do our 'Brotherly Love' act?"

Kaoru reached up and tenderly cupped his brother's cheek as he gazed into his golden eyes. "I wouldn't give it up for the world."

oOoOo

A/N: Well, there it is. Sorry the final chapter is so short, but that's how the story ends. Anything else would have just been filler. I apologize for not describing Honey and Mori's fight. I didn't think I could do it justice, so I thought it best left to the imagination. It has been a fast and fun ride for me. I hope you enjoyed it!
