Chapter 6
Everything was black around me. I couldn't see anything, couldn't feel anything, and couldn't hear anything. My eyes were shut tight, and I couldn't open them. Am I dying?
Then I hear Kaoru's sweet voice calling me.
"Rachael!"
I'm scared.
************************************************************************
I wake up to the sound of Kaoru's distressed voice. When I do, I realize that I'm in a hospital room. I look around and see everyone in the room. The twins, my twin sisters, and all the other Host Club members. I try to sit up in the hospital bed.
"Rachael! Oh man, I'm so glad you're awake," Kaoru said.
"You guys, what's going on? What happened?"
Kaoru looked over to Hikaru, and Hikaru looked down at the ground.
Kyouya cleared his throat. "Come on gentlemen and lady, let's leave these five alone for a little while," he said to Tamaki, Haruhi, Mori, and Honey.
As the other members left the room, I looked at everyone who was left. Hikaru and my sisters seemed to be upset for some reason.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Hikaru knows why you collapsed at the restaurant. He already explained it to me and apologized."
"Apologized?" I looked over at Hikaru, who was walking closer to me.
"It's our fault you're in here Rachael. Your sisters and I were so jealous that we were trying to break you guys up. We tried to ruin your date by switching your orders, but that only brought us here. I didn't even know the fried shrimp had pepper in it! I'm really sorry Rachael."
"We're sorry too sis!" the twins said, rushing to give me a hug.
"So that's what this was all about," I said softly. Everyone looked at me, not really understanding what I was trying to say. "I knew you guys were acting strange, but this was the whole reason why. Hikaru, you weren't jealous because you wanted me to yourself, you were jealous because you thought I was taking your brother away from you."
Hikaru's eyes widened.
"And Sami and Amy, you guys were the same way. You were upset that Kaoru was taking me away from you guys, am I right?"
The twins sniveled. "Yes."
"Wow, I didn't even know how much we've been hurting you guys."
"For a long time, Hikaru and I have been in our own little barrier. Now that someone's broken it, he's been trying so hard to get me back. I bet the same goes for these twins," Kaoru said, pointing at my sisters. "You guys are always in your own little world until Rachael steps into it, right?"
The girls nodded. "Yes."
"And now another barrier was built when Kaoru and I started hanging out together," I guessed. "We've been blocking out our own friends and family to keep ourselves in our own little barrier."
"Gee, you finally figured that out?" Hikaru asked.
"Hikaru!" Kaoru snapped.
"No, he's right Kaoru," I said. "We've been so caught up with our relationship; we totally forgot what we already had."
Kaoru's eyes went big as he finally understood what I was saying.
"Girls, I'm so sorry I haven't been paying much attention to you."
"We forgive you Rachael!" they said, giving me a big hug.
Hikaru and Kaoru stood there, watching us hug each other. Then Kaoru looked over at his twin.
"Hikaru, I'm also sorry. I never realized how hurt you were."
"It's alright Kaoru, it's just…I thought I'd never see you again."
"Hikaru…" Kaoru started to get teary eyed.
Hikaru hugged his brother, and started sobbing.
"Waahhhhh!!! Brotherly love!!!" my sisters cheered.
I looked at my sisters. "You like their brotherly love? You haven't even known them that long."
"Yeah, well we heard some girls in our school talking about them…" Sami said.
"They're really popular with any girls," Amy finished.
"Well, what do you know…my sisters actually love it when the Hitachiin twins show their brotherly love. I never even knew."
We all started to crack up from our own stupidity, then a knock on the door interrupted us.
"Miss Morgan? I just wanted to see how you were doing?" a nurse said, coming into the room.
"I'm doing good," I smiled.
"I'm glad; it looks like you're already to go home now. Did you want some help getting downstairs?"
"No thanks, I got friends who can help me."
"Alright, come back anytime if you feel bad."
"Thanks," I smiled, getting out of the bed.
"Hey, do you need any help?" Kaoru asked, grabbing hold of me.
"I'm fine guys. It's not like I broke a leg or something. I'll be fine! I just want to get out of here so I don't have to smell the stench of hospital!"
Everyone laughed as I plugged my nose. They all seemed happier now.
**************************************************************************************
"Alright Sami and Amy, I promise that I'll spend more time with you guys than I normally do," I said, outside of the hospital.
"And Hikaru, I promise to spend more time with you as well," Kaoru said.
"But we can still hang out at school, right Kaoru?" I asked, looking over at him.
"Yeah, that'd be great!"
I smiled, and walked up to Kaoru. I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him one last kiss before we headed home. But this kiss wasn't just a peck on the cheek; it was on the lips like all the other ones were. But this one was longer than all the others.
"Ewww!" Hikaru said, covering his eyes.
"Get a room!" the girls said, doing the same thing.
Kaoru and I looked over at our siblings and smiled. Then I took my sisters hands and walked them to our car. Kaoru walked side by side with his brother, and walked towards their limo. We all seemed happy to be back together. Hikaru had his brother back, my sisters had me back, and Kaoru and I are still dating – just not as much as we used to. Everything was back to normal, and we were okay with that. Because Kaoru and I both knew that our love was forbidden, we just didn't realize that it was hurting everyone around us. But now we both know that that won't happen again. Cause we know that we'll be together forever, and soon become one big, happy family.
