I'm happy. I'm so glad to have made it past 3 chapters. Thanks for the reviews.

Disclaimor: I do not own Ouran.

After completing his meal, both males walked out of the house. Kaoru followed Kyouya to the side of the house. There were two kinds of cars, and they were very 'rich' and 'expensive' looking. The brands were a BMW, and a Cardillac. Obviously, they were both colored black.

The older man heard the boy laughing and he looked curiously at him. "Why are you laughing?"

"Its just that you're two-dimensional. You're white and black." Kaoru gave a light giggle.

"Well, its my life style. Get in." Kyouya took out a remote control, and he pressed a button to signal for the car to unlock. He couldn't help but blush a tiny bit.

"So, you don't have a driver for today?" Kaoru questioned, climbing into the car, and he buckled up.

"No. When I work on my own, I usually drive on my own. But, yesterday was an exception. I didn't have my car yesterday because it was need for fixing. I had my sister's driver come and take me where I wanted him to." The older man started the ignition. He reversed the car, and he left out of his driveway.

"I see. So, your sister's big in the business, right? Or something political?" The boy was curious. His mouth was asking the questions, depending what popped into his head.

"No. Its her husband whom she's married to that is big in the business world. It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience for both my family and his, but it turned out that they both loved each other." The older man explained. He slowed the car down at the red light. They were behind a few cars from the traffic light.

"Oh, that's great that they did. Fall and love and stuff...That's nice..." Kaoru looked out the window, seeing the buildings passing by.

Kyouya didn't say anything else. They stayed in silence, but not for long as the boy pointed things out. Kaoru opened the window. The wind blowing his face as his hair was being blown backwards. After awhile, he closed the window. His hair looked wild, which made the man chuckled. Kaoru blushed and he quickly fixed his hair. It was back to being what it was supposed to be.

After twenty minutes of silence, Kaoru noticed that they were nearing a place with hardly any houses or buildings. There was a long wall. As they continued, there were vines covering the walls. They soon parked on the side of the sidewalk. Kaoru was puzzled, feeling a kind of nostalgic feeling. It looked too familiar.

"Do you remember? This was your house." Kaoru heard the older man spoke.

It hit him in that instant. This mansion was his and it also belonged to his family. He didn't remember it being this big. If it weren't for the vines covering the roof tops, the mansion would have looked spectacular. He guessed that no one took care of the mansion anymore.

"It was my home...So, no one lives here anymore." Kaoru questioned to the older man.

"So it appears. It wasn't long after you left this house that it no longer had any occupants." Kyouya stated, hands in his pockets.

They both got out of the car. Kaoru reached the gate, getting more detail. The lawns in front were brown. The trees were growing out its long branches. Kyouya pushed open the gates, following the boy who walked in. The boy walked towards the doors, opening it. It looked dusty inside. It was dark in places where the sun couldn't reach through the windows. Kaoru walked into the halls. Surprisingly, there were furniture, but they looked worn out in color. He reached out and touched them. A small cloud of dust puffed into the air. He looked around, seeing not much around. There were no pictures. Kyouya looked around, watching the boy then the older man looked through the window.

"It seems strange that its been like centuries since I've been here. The vines must grow very fast to cover the place up." Kaoru stated, looking from side to side, taking in each detail.

"Yes, it does. I asked the servants and maids who took care of this mansion about the plants and such. They told me they used a special fertilizer for the plants." Kyouya stated, following the boy, who walked into the halls.

Spotting the stairs, Kaoru decided to go and look. Nostalgic memories entered his mind. They seemed vague, but the memories were there. He followed his instincts. It was his home, so he might know where was what. He stopped in front of the first door on his left. He gave a huge sigh and gulped. He reached and twisted the knob. The door creaked open and he entered. He smiled a little, seeing something that made him felt happy and sad. There was a huge bed against the wall, centered in position. There were toys in one corner of the room and a book shelf in another. There was the door to the closet and another to the bathroom. He walked towards the closet, and he opened it, seeing very few clothes. He picked up what was a worn out pajama top. It was blue. He held the sleeves to take a good look at it. This was Hikaru's...He remembered his brother wearing blue while he wore orange when they slept together in bed.

"Find anything?"

Kaoru was startled when he saw the man right behind him. The boy smiled, holding out the pajama top he found. "I guess. This was Hikaru's."

Kyouya didn't say anything as he looked into the closet. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the boy walking towards the book shelf. Kaoru didn't find much books there either. The shelf was covered in dust as well. He looked to the toys, which laid scattered on the floor. He gave a small sigh as he knelt to the ground. A memory entered his mind of him and his brother, sitting on the floor, playing with their toys. His older twin was smiling to him as he smiled back, and they both laughed.

Then, Kaoru felt a pair of arms wrapping around his shoulders. It was Kyouya. Startled, he felt tears streaming down his cheeks at that instant. He was crying. Kaoru gave a tiny whimper as his cries turned into deep sobs. He was shaking a bit, but he stayed firm as he cried as much as he could.

"You...Kaoru..." Kyouya couldn't say what he could as he held the boy in his arms. He held him tightly and comfortably.

"Kyouya...thank you..." Kaoru sniffed as he wiped his tears. He noticed that he held the shirt tightly in his arms.

Kyouya slowly released him as he sat by the boy, kneeling. He saw the boy looking at the shirt and then at the toys. The boy gave a small smile and turned to Kyouya. "Let's go. I had enough of nostalgia."

Kyouya nodded as he stood up. He brought out a hand to the boy, who took it. Kyouya pulled him up, nodding to the boy after Kaoru thanking him. They left the room and walked out of the house. They walked towards the parked car and they got in. Kyouya started the engine, waiting for the car to warm up. He looked at the time, and it was around three thirty PM. He looked to Kaoru, who continued to wipe his tears. The older man looked around his car, and he found a tissue box. He held it out to the boy, "Did you have some good memories?"

"Yes, and thank you. I remember a lot of the days when I spent with Hikaru. I only remembered playing toys with him in our room. And, that shirt, he liked it a lot. I can't wait to see him again." Kaoru smiled, showing his enthusiasm.

Kyouya nodded as he reached out and he ruffled the boy's hair. "I'm sure he's excited to see you as you do. But, first, we'll visit both your parents. We'll save Hikaru for last. "

"That's a good idea. I like the best being saved for last. So, does mom and dad live together?" The boy asked, feeling eagerness. He wiped his tears with the tissues.

Kyouya started to drive, and he went back out in the opposite direction that they came from. "That's the idea....And, no, unfortunately, your parents live blocks apart. You see, your parents were divorced a year later you left the estate."

Kaoru felt his eyes went a bit wide as he looked ahead. This was shocking. He had another memory of his parents smiling happily at him. How can that be...?His parents looked like the typical married couple, and they looked like they always loved each other. He wondered what went wrong. "I see..."

The ride was silent. The sun was up in the skies, setting towards the west very slowly. They entered through the city. The sidewalks were full of people. Kaoru felt a bit excited. He never ventured into the city before in his life, even when he was with his family. He looked to the older man. "So, who are we going to visit?"

"Your mother. She had decided a few years ago to move into the city without telling anyone. After her failed attempts to get her fashion company profitable, it went down miserably. There were some issues she had to deal with. From what I was told, she had a fight with your father, and it led to the divorce." Kyouya stated again with information.

"I see. And, how did you find out where she lived?" The boy asked. He was confused on how this man found out where his mother lived when Kyouya stated that his mother never told anyone.

"I am of course the chief of police. But, thanks to your older brother, who hired me to find you, I had to find information on everything. From the origins to the present, I had to know. Information like this is basic, but more or less handy in the future. But, its certainly more handy now." Kyouya explained as he smirked at the boy.

Kaoru nodded, agreeing as well. But, it seemed awfully frightening at the same time. The man could black mail him for anything just in case, but Kyouya was never that kind of person in the first place.

Then, the boy noticed that they were slowing down. They parked in front of a building that was barely looking any brighter than any other place. They got out of the car. Kaoru read a sign, "Public bathing house?"

"Your mother currently works here as the head manager." Kyouya stated, walking towards the door. The boy quickly followed.

They stepped inside, and they soon heard a greeting by a young girl at the counter. She smiled, "Welcome you two."

"I'm sorry, but we're not here for a bath. Is Ms. Yuzuha Hitachiin available?" Kyouya smiled as he kindly asked.

The girl blushed, but she noticed another behind Kyouya. She was surprised, but she smiled to the older man as she stated, "Yes, she is. I'll call her out. Please wait a moment."

Both males watched the girl leaving the counter as she walked into the halls. She entered the female side of the bath house. In the building, they heard the water running as people were talking. There was steam, making the place feel rather warm. The wall papers and decorations made it very warm and welcome as well. It was white. The floors were made out of bamboo. It was like an old style of Japanese with the sliding paper doors.

Kyouya turned to look at Kaoru, who leaned against the wall, looking at the ground. The older adult smirked, "You feeling anxious or something?"

"No, I'm just...scared and a bit excited. I haven't seen mom for so long, and I wonder what her expression will be when she sees me." Kaoru smiled meekly at the bespectacled man.

Before Kyouya said anything else, he heard footsteps and turned his direction in front. Kaoru gasped.

Coming out of the female section was a woman, resembling Kaoru except for her red lips. She wore a short sleeved red kimono. Behind her were two other girls. The one in front of her was the girl from the counter. "Sir, this woman is Lady Yuzuha Hitachiin."

"Thank you." Kyouya smiled to the girl.

"Oh, Mr. Ohtori, what a pleasure to see the head of the police here of all places. Interested in a bath?" The woman, Yuzuha, smiled as she giggled.

"No, I'm just here to talk to you, and I have someone here who wanted to see you." Kyouya stated, looking behind him.

"Oh, and who is this?" Yuzuha asked, looking excited and full of eagerness.

Kaoru stepped around and in front of Kyouya. His cheeks were lightly flushing, smiling. "Hello...m-m...mom..."

It was silent except for the noises being made in the bath house. Yuzuha's eyes went wide as she ran and hugged her son. She started to cry.

But, the most devastating thing and an old memory appeared in his head. When he was smaller, he was always hugged by his mother, and she would say, "Hikaru! Hikaru!"

"Hikaru! Hikaru! I'm glad that you're ok! What did the doctors say?" Yuzuha released her son as she brought a hand to his cheek.

Her eyes were shining with tears as she smiled at him. He felt shocked, but he knew since he was born that his mother was doing her best. She couldn't always tell the difference between him and Hikaru. Its always been like this ever since he was little. He had a little hope, but he still felt happy enough for her.

"I'm fine, and the doctors said I was ok." He was shocked that his mother said 'doctors'. He wondered what happened to Hikaru. He hoped he was just find. Now, he felt that he needed to see his brother right away.

"I'm glad. I'm really glad. Thank goodness." His mother hugged him again tightly but not too hard.

Kaoru patted her on the back. He sighed. There was no reason to tell her that 'Kaoru' was here. Not yet until he and Hikaru will come together to get her. And, now that he thought of it, it would be the perfect reunion.

"But, you know, Hikaru, I wonder if you're alright right now...Your brother was taken a way five years ago. Now that you're back..." She sobbed again, whispering into her son's ear softly.

"I'm sure we'll find him. We'll get together again like a family with father too." Kaoru told her comfortably.

Then, his mother finally released him and turned around as she took a step away from him. Kaoru was puzzled by her sudden action, wondering what's wrong. At that instant, it just hit him that they were still divorced. His ears suddenly heard her voice again, "Your father...I don't know why...but things have gotten down hill since Kaoru wasn't home anymore. He didn't tell me why, but he just said, 'let's have a divorce.'"

Kaoru was shocked as he watched her leave into the female stalls, followed by the two women employees, who bowed to both of the men. He sighed, thinking, What happened when I left home?

Then, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Kaoru turned his head, seeing Kyouya with a tiny smile on his face. "Let's go. Your mother would want to see you again...with him..."

Kaoru nodded with a smile, "Let's go, and see father."

They both left, hearing the girl's leaving greeting, "Come back for an actual bath. Have a good day."

They went towards the car and went in. Kyouya started the engine, and they drove out into the street. The older man looked to the young teenager, who was looking out the window, staring at the bath house. His mother must have brought him nostalgic memories, the older man thought. "You're crying again."

"No, I'm not." Kaoru lied as he wiped his eyes. It was tears of joy. He was glad to see his mother. He only had his father and brother left. He wondered how things will turn out when he finally meets them again. The reunion was best as soon as he meets them.

Kyouya knew the boy was lying, but otherwise, he was glad to have reunited the boy with his mother. Like a baby being brought back to his mother, it was a reward well done. The best was to see their smiles. Yet, the boy hasn't shown his real smile yet. Kaoru looked better with a happier facial expression. He thought it was rather cute.

Then, the sudden thought disturbed him as he turned serious. He shook the thought off, deciding to focus on the wheel instead. He decided to not think about the boy for the rest of the drive.

Kaoru kept quiet as well, but he decided to explore the car. He played with the radio, going from one station to the next. He felt fascinated, looking at each of the buttons. Kyouya thought it was rather childish yet it was still cute. After all, the child must have been driven in a limousine all his life without sitting in the front of the car, and he might have guessed that Kaoru has never been into a car with those men either.

"You know, Kyouya, I've never been in the front seat of a car before, not even when I was smaller. Just plain old limo drives. Hikaru and I always sat in the back, but we always played around a lot though." Kaoru turned to face the older man and he smiled.

"S...so it would seem. Most memories are enjoyable with the ones that you always valued in your heart." Kyouya stated, almost stuttering as his eyes were hidden by the glare of his glasses. He was a bit surprised that the boy voiced out his thoughts.

Kaoru thought he heard a stutter, but he paid no mind to it. He decided to sit still and stay silent. There wasn't much in the car. It was well too organized and cleaned out. There was nothing that Kyouya would have valuable in the car.

The car continued driving into the inner most part of the cities. It was nearing around five, but the skies were lit up. The sun was starting to set towards the horizon, casting an orange and red glow. People were walking about on the side walks. Buildings were closed together, looking cramped and uncomfortable.

Soon enough, they parked on the side of the sidewalk and they both got out of the car. Kyouya led the way, and Kaoru followed. The boy was surprised that they were entering a bar. After entering, it was crowded and smelly. It smelled of sweat, cigarettes, cologne, and alcohol. The smell was a bit overwhelming to Kyouya, since he had very little time to deal with crimes dealing in bars. Kaoru was used to it since the prostitution house that he used to live in used to smell exactly like this, but a little more stronger.

A man behind the counter saw the two, and he offered a smile. Kyouya and Kaoru walked towards him, climbing onto the stools. The man greeted them, "Well, welcome you too. Now, what can I get for you?"

"I'm sorry, but no drinks. Is Mr. Hitachiin available?" Kyouya asked, smiling back.

"Hmm...well, he is. He's out back, checking the cargo. You aren't..." the man stated, feeling cautious.

"Oh, no, I'm not here to close down this place. I need proof to do so. Besides, this is something personal." Kyouya offered a friendlier smile.

"Oh, that's good. Wait here. It'll be quick." The man left towards the right and he entered the door. Before he did, he caught a quick look at the boy. He was rather surprised.

Kaoru was puzzled on the sudden man's fear when he saw the bespectacled man. "He sounded like you were threatening him."

"Well, I am the chief of police. Most of the people in Japan would know who I am by just looking at me." Kyouya stated, turning his direction to look at the boy.

"I see." Kaoru stated, laying his arms on the counter.

Soon enough, they heard the door open and saw the man coming back out. He pointed towards the door, "Mr. Hitachiin is waiting for you guys. So, just go through the door this way."

"Thank you," Kyouya nodded his head in appreciation. Kaoru followed after the older man.

They entered through the door, seeing bottles of wine and alcohol in stacks. It looked organized. The shelves were holding the alcohol in place with tags. It was dark in the corners of the room. They saw another door, and they walked towards it. They went out to what seemed like the alleyway. They saw a man, sitting on a crate, looking at papers. He looked up, seeing the two. When his eyes focused on the boy, his eyes went wide. The man had facial hair, and his hair and eyes were dark. He stood up, walking towards them. "You...Kaoru!"

Kaoru felt something pulled his heart as he smiled. His father remembered him as he remembered his father. His father welcomed him in his arms, and Kaoru hugged him. They both embraced each other. Releasing the hug, his father put his hands on the young boy's shoulders. "Oh, Kaoru...I'm glad. I'm glad you're ok. I can't believe this. My youngest son out here, and...

"Mr. Kyouya Ohtori, is it?" Kaoru's father looked up at the bespectacled man as he released his son. Kyouya smiled as he nodded his head. He felt his hand being grasped and waved. He looked to the boy's father, who smiled. "I'm happy. How can I ever repay you?"

"There's no need to thank me. The thanks goes to your elder son and another colleague of mine." Kyouya smiled, feeling appreciated.

"My oldest son..." Kaoru could see his father looking towards the grounds. The boy wondered what his father was thinking. But, his father quickly looked up at him. "But, you have found him. Kaoru that is. I'm glad. I'm really glad."

Kaoru smiled, feeling as glad as his father. "I am too. Its good to see you...dad..."

His father smiled kindly to his son as tears poured out of his eyes little by little. The man hardly ever cried, but seeing his son here has made him very happy. Five years has been too long. Since that time, the older man felt broken. Losing one of his sons caused so much pain for him. He blamed himself, but he never showed his emotions in front of his family. But, he did now. He was crying tears of joy in front of Kaoru.

The effect caused Kaoru to cry as well. He shed a tear. He smiled to his father, and he was soon hugged again. He heard a whisper in his ear. "My son, welcome back."

A memory entered the boy's mind again. The day has been full of surprises, both happy and sad. This moment was great for the boy. In his mind, he started to see himself as a young boy, running in the halls. He remembered being chased by his older brother. They were playing in the house. As a kid, he felt the confidence to run faster than Hikaru until he bumped into someone. He fell backwards on the floor. He looked up to see his father. His father was smiling down at him. Hikaru knelt by Kaoru's said, gazing upwards at his father. Their father looked huge, but he looked kindly to them. He offered his hand, which looked large to the boys. "Are you ok, Kaoru? I'm sorry for making you fall."

Then, his father released him. His smile had a hint of sadness. His father sighed. "Kaoru, you haven't...seen Hikaru yet, have you?"

Kaoru shook his head, suddenly remembering what his mother said. He looked to the side. "Well, I am planning to see my brother. Kyouya knows."

His father looked to the older man, seeing the grim expression. Kyouya's glasses hide his eyes. The boy's father looked back to his son, "Well, you'll see soon enough. Now, I'm guessing that you need to go."

"Uh, yeah, I am." Kaoru was startled out of his thoughts, nodding his head.

"I see. Well, I need to go back inside to work. I've delayed enough time." His father gave him a quick smile.

The boy nodded, understand as he followed after the bespectacled man. The father walked in after them, stopping behind the counter. The other employee came towards him, and stood by his side, cleaning a glass. They both watched the two leave the bar through the door. The employee gave a sigh, "So, he's finally come back home."

"Yes..." The owner stated, smiling.

"And, what about you? Are you going back home?" The employee asked, placing the cup on the counter. He heard a quest of a drink from a costumer.

The owner didn't say anything as he leaned against the counter with his arms. He made an empty smile. "It just depends if she wants to see me again."

His employee didn't say anything as he poured the liquid into the cup. He gave it to the customer, sitting at the counter.

***

Kyouya and Kaoru were in the car, driving in the inner most parts of the city. Their last destination was up to Kyouya, who knew where to go. The older man also knew of the sad circumstances involving the older twin brother, but he decided to keep that information away from Kaoru. Kaoru will soon find out for himself. He wondered if the event that will occur will hurt the boy emotionally. Well, when the time comes, I'll just have to comfort him... Kyouya thought to himself. He looked to the boy out of the side of his peripheral vision, seeing him looking dazed as he laid his head against his hand. Kaoru was gazing outside at the city. It was dark, but towards the west, there was some light from the setting sun.

"So, this time....its Hikaru...I can't wait." Kaoru smiled as his reflection on the window smiled as well.

Please review and tell me what you think.
