Me: Hello once more my faithful readers! I was thinking in what word could I describe Kaoru (when he's alone) I thought Observing, quiet, smart, but the one I chose was sacrificing. Kaoru is always giving up things for Hikaru so I though this would make a good chapter.
P.S What I decided to do was continue with the plan of seven chapters, but make sequel for the official pairing. You guys still have to vote!
Hunny:0
Kyoya: 1
Mori: 4
Tamaki: 0
Hikaru: 3
Kaoru: 3
All: 3
Vote people! okay so here goes this chapter. Enjoy!
"I'm mentally exhausted from this week." Haruhi moaned, rubbing her temples. It was Thursday, planning day for the Hosts, so it was closed for the guests. She was on her couch leaning back.
"It's okay, Haru-chan. The weekend is almost here and then you can sleep in." Hunny said, sitting beside her eating a Oreo cheesecake. Mori was sitting on the other side of Hunny with a napkin in his hand.
"No I won't. I have a bunch of chores to do, plus my dad wants to say "Hi" to the new neighbors." Haruhi said remembering all the boxes stacked on the front lawn. "I think I might give them a hand as well." She said mostly to herself. Tamaki was crouching by her in a minute, eyes sparkling and tears streaming down his face.
"How noble of you, Haruhi. My precious daughter is so sweet, always thinking of others. Daddy's so proud." He squealed. The twins were sitting across from them on the guests' couch, Kyoya on the end, typing on his computer. Kaoru held a small smile as he watched Haruhi. Hikaru, however, didn't enjoy the idea of a new friend.
"Have you seen them yet?" Kaoru asked. Haruhi nodded.
"Yeah. The parents anyway. I think they have a daughter and a son, because of all the stuff I saw. It was a lot of princess decorations and one box had trophies and a basketball." She said thinking. Hikaru growled, catching everyone's attention. He stood up and left, without uttering a single word.
"Hika!" Kaoru shouted. A hand grabbed him before he could leave after him though. Kaoru looked at Haruhi. She shook her head no. "But I have to follow him." he protested, but not daring to tear away from her.
"He has to grow up, and you have to let him. You always baby him, and give everything to him. Learn to help him without giving everything up. He'll get over it and then I'll speak to him." She said. Stood up, letting go of his hand. "I'll get the tea from the back and then we can start." She said. Kaoru sat there, feeling the words sink through.
"Maybe we could do an italian setting. With breadstick and yummy truffles." Hunny suggested. Tamaki nodded think it through.
"That could be very interesting, but what about a Bollywood theme, Where Haruhi could wear a satin dress." He sighed. Haruhi rolled her eyes. She had moved to sit next to Kaoru, so he wouldn't be lonely. He didn't speak throughout the time, he just wathched Haruhi. Learning her every movement. Thinking of how nice it would be to hug her and kiss her without worring about Hikaru's reaction.
The doors creaked open and everyone looked back to see Hikaru walking in. He kept his gaze on the floor as he walked towards everyone. His hands were stuffed in his pocket. Haruhi got up and smiled at him.
"WElcome back Hikaru, We were just discussing themes. Do you have any ideas?" She asked. Hikaru bit the inside of his cheek and nodded.
"We would love to hear it." Kyoya said.
"How about America in the 50's." Hikaru suggested and moved to his original spot. Haruhi moved to hers as well. Kaoru still kept his eyes on her.
"Finally. I can go home." Haruhi said. "I think I might make some ramen when I get home." She thought aloud. Everyone had left already and she was on the path towards home. When she got to her apartments she saw a girl around eight doing cartwheels in the yard. The girl smiled at her twinkling green eyes. Her brown hair was flying in her face from the winds. Haruhi smiled at her. Walking up to her floor, a boy with the same features, but older, was standing, watching the younger girl. He nodded in her direction. Haruhi returned the gesture. (Keep this in mind for the sequel)
Once inside, she filled a pot with water and put it on the stove to boil. She just put the noodles in when she heard a knock. She turned the heat down and went to the door. There stood the younger twin, looking upset.
"Kaoru?" She stepped a side and let him in before looking outside. He was alone. Kaoru had his head down as he just stood there. "Kaoru, what's wrong?" She asked.
"We had an argument." He said simply. "It's not bad. I just needed to tell you that I'm going to do it." He grabbed Haruhi's hands and looked her in her eyes.
"Do what?" Haruhi asked.
"I'm going for what I want." he said. Haruhi smiled and led him to the kitchen.
"That's good Kaoru. So why do you look so down?" She asked stirring her noodles.
"Because I want a girl. But it's not just Hikaru and I who want her. The whole host club does." He said. Haruhi turned to him and gave him an apologetic smile.
"You have to tell her then." Haruhi suggested. Kaoru shook his head.
"No. I have to give the others a fair chance. I might have the courage to go for what I want now, but I will always sacrifice everything for her. Even if it means losing her to another man." He said. "I better get going. I'll see you tomorrow." Kaoru gave her a quick hug and left, not even letting Haruhi move to open the door.
"I wish you luck Kaoru." She said to herself.
Me: I'm not very happy with this one, but it leads to the end of the one-shots next chapter and to the sequel. I will try to get the next chapter in hopefully this week. VOTE FOR ALL OR JUST ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE HOSTS ON THE POLL REVIEW, OR PM. I take messages people.
