CHAPTER SIX:

I woke up on a slighter more happy note than usual. I was glad that I could go to Kaoru's house today and stuffed some things into my book bag that I'd need. Like two sets of clothes, toothbrush... Honestly I don't know what else I need...

I guess that's it!

I quickly got dressed in my nice clothes. Some black slacks and a button up collar shirt that was a dark green.

I put on my book bag and quickly rushed out to my bus stop and waited impatiently. I wanted it to be here. I wanted Kaoru to be with me.

This fucking sucked. I hated acting like this.

The bus finally arrived and I got on quickly and walked to my original seat. I closed my eyes for what seemed like 4 seconds and when I opened them Kaoru was next to me doing his homework.

His hair was perfect, it always was. He had on regular jeans and a white and yellow shirt that said "My French Teacher is Muy Caliente!" Which was ironic that it was in Spanish... I never noticed his ears were pierced. He had small white studs, well from what side I could see. He had white sneakers and the same jelly bracelets.

"Oh. Kaoru.." I rubbed my eyes. "Homework?" I chuckled and he looked up and blushed.

"Yeah. I didn't get to finish it. It's just math though." Kaoru assured and I looked over and just by looking, without a calculator I gave him the answer.

"Sin .9940" I said smirking and Kaoru blinked and chuckled as he shook his head.

"I'm not going to ask how you're so smart." He said and I shrugged.

"So. Do you have everything you need for the sleepover?" Kaoru asked happily and I nodded.

"I'm pretty sure. But I've never been to a sleepover before so I'm not entirely sure." I said and randomly Tamaki was on Kaoru's lap.

Tamaki was wearing a pink button up shirt, short sleeved and long white pants.

"That's so horrible! Never been to a sleepover! The pity! The shame! How could you stand such a horrible future?" Tamaki asked dramatically and I frowned and Kaoru shoved the blonde bimbo off of his lap.

"Shut up Tamaki, you bother me." He said blankly and turned to me.

"It's ok. I feel great! My house will be where you had your first sleepover!" Kaoru said grinning and I smirked slightly.

"I suppose you're right."

.:~**~:. o(^.^)o .:~**~:.

"Kyoya. Why aren't you eating?" Hikaru asked and Kaoru nodded and I shrugged.

"I'm... Not hungry." I said and repressed a stomach growl. I was very hungry actually. Kaoru smiled and pushed his tray so it was there for both of us.

"Nonsense, you look starving. Come on. Please eat." He offered and picked up a French fry and held it to my lips and I chuckled slightly and bit it so some of it was still handing off of my lips.

I chewed it and swallowed.

"Thanks." I said and looked him straight in the eyes. I almost missed the grin Tamaki and Hikaru exchanged.

Almost.

.:~**~:. o(^.^)o .:~**~:.

"MA! WE'RE HOME!!" Tamaki yelled dramatically as we all entered the house. I admit, it was a really nice house.

"Oh. Let me meet your new friend!" I heard a female say happily as she rushed over and I looked at her. She had short hair. Definitely looked like the mother to these twins.

"Good evening Mrs. Hitachiin." I smiled and bowed slightly. "What a pleasure it is to finally meet the mother of my new friends."

I always wore that stupid mask while meeting adults. Just something my father taught me.

"Oh he's so cute and polite!" She giggled.

"Mother! Surly you think I'm more of a prince then he!" Tamaki said, giving me a playful smirk.

"Of course dear!" He smiled. "Because he's more of a king!"

"Angst..." Tamaki went to a corner and began to plan mushrooms.

"Um.." I raised my eyebrow at Tamaki. Was this how he always acted?

"Come on Kyoya! I'll show you to my room!" Kaoru said happily and dragged me upstairs.

His room was fairly large. Decent sized bed, kind of messy but I have OCD, posters hanging on the wall, and just a bunch of junk in general.

I smiled at him.

"Nice." I said and he grinned.

"Yeah. I love this room." He said happily and ushered me to sit down. His bed was so soft.

I opened my book bag and pulled out my laptop and opened it. I looked at yesterdays entry and then looked at Kaoru who was messing with something and gulped.

"Kaoru. I need to say someth--" Hikaru burst into the room grinning like an idiot.

"KYOYA! COME SEE MY ROOM NOW!" He said excitedly and dragged me to the room directly next to it. The colors weren't the same and his room was messier, no doubt.

Kaoru had a nice light orange room, Hikaru had a dark blue color. And Hikaru had a lot of nearly explicit half naked females on his walls.

"Wow... I'm speechless." I blinked and he grinned.

"I know. My room is so much better than Kaoru's." He said and I sighed inwardly. If my room looked like this, my father would strangle me... Not that he wouldn't anyway.

"I'll be right back." Hikaru said after we heard Tamaki call him.

I looked around the room and you could call it OCD, I began to clean things and pick stuff up.

"What are you doing?" Kaoru asked, for some reason he was blushing slightly.

"I'm.. cleaning..?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Why?" He asked, why did that make him blush? Me cleaning his brother's room. What was so embarrassing about that?

"Because it's horrifyingly dirty." I stated bluntly and continued to pick up the mess.

"Come on Kyoya." Kaoru grabbed my hand and the spot he held felt like it was on fire. Slowly the warmth spread through my body. I wanted to hug him. I wanted to feel the warmth everywhere. I knew that was out of the question, however.

"Where are we going?" I asked and Tamaki ran over.

"Oh lovelies! Let's go swimming!" Tamaki offered and my face turned pale.

"Uh n--" Before I could finish my answer, I saw that adorable grin on Kaoru's face.

"That's a great idea!" He said happily and I smiled sheepishly.

"Oh.. I haven't got a bathing suit..." I said and Kaoru smiled sweetly.

"That's ok. You could use one of mine. I've got a ton." This is bad. This is bad. I don't know if I'm completely healed yet. What if I still have bruises.

Shit, what's an excuse??

"Come on!" Kaoru grinned and dragged me into his room. There I saw that I left my computer on... With my journal opened.

This. Is. Bad.

I quickly shut off my laptop and looked around nervously and Kaoru handed me some swimming trunks.

"Here. You could change in here. I'll go in Hikaru's room." With that Kaoru walked out.

I got changed and looked at myself in his mirror.

It wasn't hard to see the bruises. The scratches. The constant reminder that I was a failure in my father's eyes. I looked down and my hair covered my eyes. I was ashamed that this was my body. I was somewhat muscular but the fact that I hadn't been eating has taken some of that away.

But looking at myself, with my shameful eyes, I pushed my glasses up. There were huge bruises on my legs and chest. Most on my back but that's where the scars were. I began to shake. Why did this happen to me? What did I do?

I sat on the floor and then my blood ran cold.

"Kyoya you.. Done?" Kaoru paused as he looked at me with eyes so wide it looked like he was a deer caught in headlights.

I blushed and quickly turned away from him.

I felt him walk to me slowly.

"Kyoya?" He made me face him. "What happened?"

"Nothing happened." I replied coldly. "I'm fine. What are you worrying about?" I smirked triumphantly. Even though I wasn't feeling to happy, I didn't want him to know that.

Kaoru grabbed my arm and forced me to stand up and I got angry.

"Why the hell are you pulling me?!" I asked angrily and he ignored my outburst and his eyes scanned my body. His hand touched one of the bruises and I felt so much warmth from his finger tips.

"What happened?" He asked softly and I looked away sadly and then said the first thing that came to my mind.

"Can I break one of your jelly bracelets?" I asked and he raised his eyebrow and slowly held his wrist up. I read a bit about them. I grabbed the orange one and broke it off. "What does this mean?" I asked and he turned bright red.

"It means... Kiss me." He said and I gulped and blushed. I didn't think I could blush this much.

I leaned in and pressed my lips to his beautiful soft lips.

The atmosphere made it quite simple to feel that both of our hearts were racing wildly. I pulled away about 5 seconds later. Both of us blushing.

I regained my posture quicker than Kaoru though.

"I'm done with you changing the topic." He placed his hand on my arm. "Who did this to you?"

Review please :3
