Rehearsal – part 2

Yay! I'm updating! Soo, I'm gonna be doing this chapter in Kaoru's POV. Please tell me what you think! And also I'm sorry if I forget and switch to Kiyoshi half way through... ILuvHikaruAndKaoru's request in this chapter! I hope you like it and I'm sorry if it's not as good as you wanted... I can't really put lots of twincest into this story but i'll try!

Keep forgetting to mention that I don't own Ouran, but that's kinda obvious right?

Kaoru POV

We stood and stared at her some more. She looked a bit confused, like she didn't know what to say to Hikaru's last comment. I couldn't really tell.

Hikaru started to talk again,

'You see, Kaoru and I are very close.'

He pulled me closer to him.

'You can't take him away from me.'

He seemed pretty serious; I started to wonder if this was still an act. It was my turn though so I dismissed the thought.

'Hikaru, you're embarrassing me. You know i'll always be yours.'

'Oh Kaoru, I know. But some people don't know that, and it's something they need to know.'

He tilted my face up to his, so our lips were centimetres apart.

'Hikaru...?'

A blush rose on my face. We hadn't ever gone this far before. We both leant in, our lips mere millimetres away. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Kiyoshi. She hadn't moved from where she was. I didn't know what she was feeling. We were only going to make her feel uncomfortable but she didn't seem to mind, or did she? I couldn't tell. She wasn't saying anything and her eyes were covered.

Mine and Hikaru's lips brushed together. It was so natural, but so wrong. I pulled away.

'Hikaru, stop.'

He moved a step away too. He couldn't look at me either. Maybe he had felt the strange feeling too?

'You two should practice. They'll wonder where I am.'

He made his excuses in a flat tone then left us alone. Kiyoshi still hadn't moved from where she was standing. I walked over to her.

'Look, I'm sorry.'

'No, it's okay. I don't mind. It's brotherly love and he's protecting you. I get it.'

She didn't say twincest. It was really just brotherly love. Our bond was very deep. We didn't normally do things like that. It was like she knew.

'Umm, we should practice, ne?'

She was trying to change the subject. I was grateful.

'Yeah, I guess.'

I didn't want to mention what had just happened again.

I put on the music. She moved closer to me but still left a distance between us. I pulled her closer to me and wrapped her arms around me. We were warming up to a slow song. (AN – try Zoom into Me by Tokio Hotel ;) That's what i'm listening to). With her flats on she was smaller than me so I had a good view of the top of her head. I noticed her orange bow.

'My favourite colour's orange.'

She was probably confused; it was such a random comment... to her.

'I think orange suits you.'

I thought I saw her blush but she ducked her head and murmured a quiet 'thanks'.

We didn't talk much after that, just concentrated on the dance.

The hour passed quickly. Soon everyone came marching in.

We both quickly moved away from each other and I went back to standing next to Hikaru, it was an unwritten and unspoken agreement that we would never talk about that moment again. We would just go back to our act.

I had left her alone at the front so we all faced her.

'So, you finished practice then? How was it?'

'Oh, yeah Senpai, it was good. We got pretty far I suppose.' She didn't mention anything that had happened.

'Yay! Kiyo Chan! Will you play for us now please?'

'Umm. Yeah. Of course Hunny Senpai. I just gotta tune my guitar; I prefer to use my own.'

After she had it tuned, she started to play a piece without any music in front of her. It was a beautiful piece and when she finished we all clapped.

'Wow, Kiyo Chan! That was amazing! You're such a great guitarist!'

'Oh, thanks Hunny Senpai. It's not my best work though... That was the first piece I wrote, so it isn't that good.'

'Well, I think it's great!'

'Kiyoshi! That was so beautiful!'

The boss had tears welling up in his eyes and he pulled her to him.

'When you finish your new piece, you have to play it for us.'

'You're writing a new piece?'

'Umm, yeah Haruhi. I didn't really want everyone to know though.'

Boss went over to his little corner again.

'I'm sorry Kiyoshi! I didn't mean to tell everyone!'

'Umm, it's okay Senpai. Don't worry about it.'

I guess she just didn't want to see him crying over her. This was just pure gold for me and Hikaru.

'Yeah, well you know, he's not very good at keeping secrets. It's a surprise he's managed to keep Haruhi's secret. In fact, I bet he's already told loads of people.'

'No! That's not true! Haruhi, you know-'

'Yeah boss! Anything else you want to tell us about Kiyoshi? You know, before you blab it to everyone anyway?'

'That's not true Kiyoshi! I can keep secrets!'

'Yeah, Senpai. I know. Don't worry about it.'

We burst out laughing at how gullible he was. He kept on crying and we kept on laughing. Until Haruhi glared at us. We quietened down.

Tamaki was whimpering in his corner and Haruhi made us go apologise to him while she, Mori Senpai and Hunny Senpai comforted him.

I vaguely noticed Kiyoshi get her stuff and say,

'I've got to go. I'll see you tomorrow.'

Kyoya nodded at her and she left.

'Well, we've apologised. Kiyoshi's gone. So I guess we'll be leaving now.'

'What?!'

Tamaki stood up quickly.

'She went without saying goodbye?'

'Yeah Senpai. She was probably worried you would tell more of her secrets.'

'No!'

He went back to his corner.

'Thanks Hikaru and Kaoru!'

Haruhi pouted at us.

'Yeah yeah...'

We left after that. Before we got into any more trouble. We sat down in the limo and started to laugh again.

'Haha! Senpai is so gullible!'

'He's such an easy target!'

'We shouldn't have done that though...'

'Kaoru, it was too good an opportunity to pass up.'

'Too true Hikaru...'

We both looked out our separate windows then. I saw a figure walking down the road into the sunset. It was Kiyoshi.

We stopped beside her and I opened my window.

'Hey! You want a lift?'

Hikaru called through to her.

'Umm, no I'm good. You know, don't get into a car with strangers or anything.'

'We're not strangers though...'

'Yeah, I guess. But still. My dad wouldn't like me to go in the limo. So, I can't.'

She started to walk away again. I looked at Hikaru, he looked at me. We both nodded and got out the limo at the same time. We both stood on each side of her.

'You know, girls shouldn't be walking by themselves at this time.'

'You don't know what sort of perverts could be lurking about.'

'You're lucky that the boss is still back at school...'

'He's the biggest pervert of them all.'

She sighed but continued walking.

'You know. You shouldn't be so mean to him.'

'I'm sorry.'

'There's no point apologising to me-'

'No, I'm sorry for before.'

'Yeah, it's okay Hikaru. I get it.'

'How do you know i'm Hikaru?'

'Oh, I can tell...'

That was a shock. Something to talk about later but right now, we forgot about it.

'Anyway, I don't think you really do understand. You see, I was just annoyed that you would pick Kaoru over me. I mean, what's so good about him?'

'Haha, very funny Hikaru. Of course she would pick me!'

She started to laugh a bit. She wasn't really paying attention to where she was going, and she tripped over.

Before she could hit the ground, Hikaru and I both caught her.

'Hey, remember when we came to your house and we were saying bye? What did we say?'

I remembered what we had said.

'Don't trip over.'

We all said it at the same time and then we started laughing.

We had reached her house by that time and we watched as she let herself in and waved goodbye.

We turned around and headed to our house again, thinking of what had happened that day. I realised then that being with Kiyoshi was just as natural for me as being with Hikaru. Maybe this was a sign. Maybe this could turn into something that was natural, but could feel... right?

Okay! So what did you think? Review and tell me! I'd love to know what you think about this chapter! I put in a bit L suggested so I hope that was okay and I also hope that ILuvHikaruAndKaoru's bit was okay... I'm sorry if it was really bad... I can try again if you didn't like it.

Thank you my lovely reviewers! Hunny loves baking cake for you as much as he loves eating it ;)

So, the next chapter... I was hoping that I could introduce another new character; someone else's partner. So, if anyone has any requests who it should be please tell me. I was thinking maybe Mori but if you would prefer someone else please tell me! x
