Chapter3

He stared at the laptop for a long time. Zero results, always. What the hell!? He thought, then, he hit the table. His brother stirred. He turned his back.

"Kaoru, you awake?" Hikaru Hitachiin then asks his brother.

"Hn" his brother groaned and then opened his eyes. "What time is it?" he asked Hikaru after yawning.

"Seven in the morning." Hikaru smiled. "Does your back hurt? I don't want to wake you up so I just got a blanket for you..."

"Huh? Well, my back does hurt for now, but I'm alright. Thank you, Hikaru. Ano..." Kaoru replied after standing up. He stretched his arms and yawned again.

"D'you want to ask something?" Hikaru asked as he turn off his laptop.

"D-did you have a good sleep?" Kaoru asked. He thinks Hikaru didn't sleep. His eyes looked tired.

"I-i have a fine sleep" he lied with a smile. He didn't get to sleep because he doesn't feel like it.

"Well, I'll go eat. You better rest first." Kaoru said. He knows his brother when he is lying. Stop putting that phony face on, idiot!, he thought.

"Ie(No), let's eat together."Hikaru fixed his stuffs and stood up, stretching.

"O-okay." Kaoru is worried about his brother that's why he kept on stammering.

---

"Haruhi,my dear lovely daughter, it's already seven!" Ryoji called.

"I-i feel sick." lied Haruhi with a fake cough.

"You are? Let me check you then!" Ryoji said and got up to go to her room.

"Just let me sleep..." she mumbled and closed her eyes before Ryoji takes a closer look at her.. Ryoji just looked at her and closed the door as he went outside her room.

"Okay then." Ryoji feels unusual. He's concerned about her daughter.

---

"Good morning!" the twins greeted in unison when they entered the room(II-A). The two looks hyper,as usual.

"Good morning, Hikaru-kun, Kaoru-san." everyone responded with happy voices.

Hikaru noticed a chair is still empty and the bell's about to ring for the first period. He ran out of the room and fled swiftly to Kyouya Ootori's room.

"Kyouya-senpai!" he called, panting, resting his hands on his knees that were slightly bent.

"Hikaru!" the idiotic prince came instead of the Shadow King.

"D-dosh..." he is still panting and his breathing is faster than normal. His asthma attacks almost every time he runs or inhales dusts since it was spring time.

"Heh? Are you okay?" Tamaki asked, concerned at the guy panting in front of him.

"Hai(Yes.)" he said after breathing in and out slowly. He clutched his chest while inhaling and exhaling deeply,then said "Where's Kyouya?"

"Here, Hikaru." a cool voice suddenly said behind them.

"Well..." Hikaru said.

"Private talks, Tamaki." said Kyouya, fixing his rimless glasses.

"What?"the prince-like blond replied. He then made those cute, puppy eyes."Puh-lease?!"

"Private." Kyouya harshly replied. He wasn't really affected by those stupid faces.

"F-fine. " said Tamaki Suou.

---

"Kyouya-senpai, do you know what I can do?" Hikaru said after making sure the Suou isn't eavesdropping.

"I spent most of my time yesterday. The only thing you can do is talk to Mr. Suou. But if he's busy, you can go talk to Ma'am Suou." Kyouya replied automatically.

"Is that so?"Hikaru replied, his voice a bit faint. His eyes looked drowsy. And his head ache a bit.

"You look like you didn't have enough sleep..." Kyouya made an opinion.

"I didn't." Hikaru replied with no emotion at all. His mind is wandering about what to do, ignoring the pain in his head.

"You better stop that... you might get sick." Kyouya said. Unusual for the cool-type guy to say that. If you get sick, you'd absent and that will be a big downfall to the host club, considering Haruhi is absent, thought Kyouya.

"I'd rather get sick than let that short fox study elsewhere." Hikaru said and turned his back on Kyouya. " Have to go then. Later~!"

"You shouldn't do that to yourself, Hikaru." Kyouya said to himself quietly.

---

"What an extraordinary day, too silent" Haruhi said to herself while eating lunch. It's already 1 in the afternoon, They are probably eating right now. Haruhi thought as she chewed some rice and fish.

Her phone suddenly beeped and she swiftly answered it.

"Moshi moshi(Hello?)?" Haruhi greeted.

"Haruhi!Why are you absent? Did I do something wrong? Are you insecure at school because of the handsome me?" It's obviously Tamaki.

"Shut up, idiot!"

"Eh? You shouldn't be like that to me!"

"Shut up."

"Anyways, why are you absent?Are going back tomorrow? I can go there."

"I-i am sick. But you shouldn't come for Ryoji-san will get mad." Haruhi blushed a bit. She felt miserable.

"Demo...(but...)"Tamaki said. He was curious and concerned.

"No more buts! I'm resting right now, so don't disturb! Idiot!" Haruhi felt like crying. She pressed the 'End' button and placed the phone given by the twins on the small table.

What should I do?

---

"She hung up..." said Tamaki to the phone.

"She's sick, don't you get it?What a stupid Tono." said the twins with their you-really-are-an-idiot-face.

"Shut up!!! I still am the master of this club so SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" Tamaki irritably replied.

"Haha, Tono is pissed off." said Kaoru.

"Grr." grumbled the half-French. He stared furiously at the twins.

Hikaru's eyes looks as though he is looking far and distant. What is he thinking? Kaoru thought as he looked in his brothers amber eyes, that looks like his..

"I gotta go!" Kyouya said and got out. He closed his white laptop and bid goodbye. Tamaki followed and is still glaring at the twins.

"They're gone." said Kaoru.

"Eh?" Hikaru is surprised. He didn't notice it. He was still thinking about Haruhi. She's absent, and he doesn't have much time left.

"Ikuzo(Let's go!)" Kaoru said and Hikaru followed, still lost in thoughts.

After the first week, Haruhi didn't show up in school. And Tamaki really wants to go to the Fujioka's apartment.

---

Kaoru Hitachiin opened his eyes. He stretched and yawned, his eyes getting watery. He went directly to his brother's bed chamber (opposite his room.) and when he opened it, he saw an empty,unmistakably-not-yet-used bed. He scanned the room and on the wooden desk made of Narra tree, he saw his elder twin, his head resting on his arms while still sitting on the soft chair.

"He slept late again. And it is a Saturday." Kaoru sighed. He then went inside quietly and walked towards his brother. His Toshiba laptop is still on.

"He slept late for a manga?" Kaoru said after taking a closer look at the screen. Then there is a tab beside it. Kaoru carefully clicked it and saw it was a page from Ouran Academy.

I hope Haruhi can realize how much you love her. You have done a lot of things for her already...Kaoru thought as he closed the door, glancing at his brother.

Then he headed to their glamorous dining room for breakfast.
