Chapter 6 Hikaru Hitachiin
Something in Hikaru changed at that soccer game. All of his anger had been drained away like it had never been there to begin with. Amy had cured him of every drop of bitterness inside of him within just a month.
She truly is an extraordinary girl, Hikaru thought as he lay in bed on the Sunday after the soccer game.
He felt like a different person. He wasn't Hikaru anymore, he was Amy's Hikaru. He felt as though he could through fire for her and he would if she commanded him to do such.
All of the sudden, Kaoru didn't seem like a brainwashed idiot anymore. Now, Kaoru was just another guy in love.
Hikaru suddenly understood how wrong everything he had said and done to Kaoru and Melinda was. He felt like a monster.
As he got up and prepared his apologies, the last words he had said to Kaoru and Melinda rang over and over in his ears: "If being in love makes you brainwashed and doesn't allow you to help your own brother, then I don't want it!"
Hikaru was waiting patiently at Music Room 3 later that afternoon. He had asked Melinda to meet him there at one o'clock. She would be there any moment.
The door slowly opened and Melinda's small face peeped in. Hikaru motioned for her to come in and she obeyed.
"So, what's all this about, Hikaru?"
"Well," he started awkwardly, "I wanted to…apologize for my attitude and behavior toward you."
She didn't seem very shocked.
"I had a feeling this was coming. I didn't when but I've known you would say that ever since you and Kaoru had that big fight," she said kindly.
"How did you know?"
"Well, Kaoru and I talked about it a little bit at the Black Masquerade. I told him that you meet someone that would make you want to be better."
Hikaru blushed slightly and looked down at his feet.
"She's amazing," Melinda said softly. "At first, I didn't think you deserved her, but, after seeing how much you two changed each other, I can't think of a better couple.
"Thank you for understanding."
He hugged her and they said goodbye. Next was Hikaru's apology to Kaoru.
