Ouran High School Host Club

Chapter 7

The True Meaning of Jealousy

Tamaki slowly pulled away, still hovering over Hiro. Everyone else stood silent. Girls held in their squeals of delight. Tamaki stared down at the wide-eyed Hiro, "Are you...a-alright… Hiro-kun?"

Hiro's face stared blankly at the prince, looking a tad hurt, "You… You just…"

Tamaki looked at the innocent teen, thinking he hurt him in some way," I...Hiro… I?"

Nearly every girl squealed in delight at the new 'couple'. Some giggled and whispered, some fainted, others were a red a cherries, and a few were jealous.

As soon as the girls weren't paying attention, Hiro glared dangerously at Tamaki and grabbed him by his tie and hissed, "If you do not get off of me in the next 6 seconds, I am going to mess up that pretty lil' face of yours you admire so much."

Tamaki nodded vigorously as tears fell from his eyes. He let out a wail, as soon as Hiro let him go, and he ran to his corner of woe. Hiro sat up and wiped his lips with his gloved hand, "Damn Kiss-a-holic…"

And with that comment, the darkness surrounding Tamaki grew.

Hiro stood to his feet and patted invisible dust off of him. He sighed and looked over to the girl, who was still on the ground in shock. Hiro smiled and held out a hand to her, "Hey… you ok princess?"

Slowly, but surely, the girl nodded. She took Hiro's hand and blushed as he pulled her to her feet with one quick yank. She landed gracefully in his arms, "T-Thank you…Hiro-kun…"

Hiro grinned and waved it off, "Hey no problem! I just didn't want you to get hurt. He thought for a minute, then smiled as he lifted a hand to cup her cheek, "Besides…I still owe you something…"

The girl stared at him questioningly, "What? I don't-"

He smiled and moved his hand to her chin, turning it to the right, "This." He leaned in and kissed her cheek. The girl stood wide-eyed as he pulled away. Hiro grinned and removed his hand, "There… That's what you requested."

The girl blinked and fainted, right there on the spot, in his arms.

All the girls in the room began a new round of squeals and whispers.

"Aw! I wish that were me!"

"I know!"

"I want a kiss from Hiro-kun!"

"Oh! I want a kiss from Haruhi-kun!"

"KYAAA!!!"

"I want to kiss Tamaki-sempai!"

"No! I want a kiss from Tamaki-kun!"

Hiro stared silently at Haruhi then began to laugh. Haruhi blinked and soon began laughing as well. One thing they knew for sure was…

Things were about to get even crazier, if that were possible. Everyone was soon laughing and smiling (with the exception of Kyoya and Mori)…well…all except one…

The loner stared out the window, his head resting on his hand as his elbow was propped up on the couch's arm, his golden eyes never leaving this school gates.

Kaoru had a look of anger and confusion plastered upon his face, though he tried his best not to show it (which failed). He bit his lip trying to block out the excessive noise coming from the others. As soon as Tamaki and Hiro touched, he didn't want to see anymore. First this girl who has a huge crush on Hiro and now this stupid kiss with Tamaki? Kaoru didn't want to admit it but there was no denying it.

Kaoru was jealous.

But he wouldn't admit it.

As long as he was a Hitachiin, he would never admit it.

He would never say he was jealous.

NO!

He was THE Hitachiin Kaoru, TWIN brother of THE Hitachiin Hikaru.

Kaoru shook his head and sighed. One of the girls sitting at his table looked at him sadly,

"Kaoru-kun? What's wrong?"

Another girl nodded, "Yes, you do seem a bit down today…"

"Is it because of Hikaru-kun not being here?"

Kaoru forced a smiled to his face, "Ah..I guess I'm that easy to figure out hunh?" He frowned again and sighed, "It's just that…it's hard for me and Hikaru to be away from each other… I just miss him that's all…"

All the girls at his table saddened, "Aw! POOR KAORU!"

"What's wrong Kaoru?" A familiar voice spoke out from behind him.

Kaoru turned and his eyes widened, "H-Hikaru!?"

"Its Hikaru-kun!"

"KYA!!! He came just for Kaoru!"

Hikaru stood behind his younger sibling, a smirk plastered on his face. He gave a two-finger salute, "YO!"

Kaoru glared a tiny bit but then broke into tears. He stared at his brother with sorrowful eyes, "H-Hikaru…HIKARU!" He bolted up from his seat and hugged his brother, orange and blue roses appeared out of nowhere, "I…I was so lonely! Y-You left me…all alone!"

Hikaru caressed his brother's head and lifted his chin to meet his gaze, "I'm sorry Kaoru… I shouldn't have left you…please forgive me…'

"Hikaru…" Kaoru sighed.

"KYAAA!!!!! BROTHERLY LOVE!!!!!"

Tamaki approached the two brothers, with an emotionless face but a stern gaze, "Hikaru…" He stopped right in front of the twin, "You're late…"

Hikaru released his brother and turned to the prince with the same emotionless face, "Yea…so what of it?"

Before Tamaki could respond, Kyoya coughed and adjusted his glasses, "Excuse me Ladies but I'm afraid that the club is closing for the morning."

After all the designators were safely out of the room, Kyoya closed the doors and looked over at his shoulder at Tamaki, nodding that he may continue. Tamaki, in response returned the nod and turned back to the host club members. Of course what he noticed first was that Haruhi and Hiro were sitting at the other side of the room, as far away from the Hitachiins as possible as Hikaru and Kaoru never moved from their places, Kaoru staring at the floor as Hikaru had his eyes closed and arms crossed. Hunny and Mori were seated quietly at their own table, the anger and frustration in the air; Hunny not eating his strawberry shortcake that was placed in front of him by his cousin.

Ever since Hikaru has arrived, Hiro had been silent and still was as he stood. Haruhi looked up, following Hiro with her eyes, "Hiro?"

Hiro turned to her with a carefree smile and shrugged, "I'm still not feeling to good so…here" He slipped the note from earlier out of his back pocket and held it out to Haruhi, "Give this in for me please?"

Haruhi looked up into Hiro's golden eyes, looking for the real reason why he was leaving. Of course she knew the real reason why but she wanted to know if Hiro does. All Haruhi found was sadness, confusion, hurt, anger, sorrow, and pity. She didn't know why Hiro was feeling all these emotions but pity? Was he pitting her? Or is he pitting-

"Please Haruhi…" Hiro looked at her sadly, snapping Haruhi out of her trance.

"Uh…yea…sure." Haruhi nodded and took the note from Hiro's hand, "Feel better ok? I'll see you when I get home."

Hiro nodded in response and waved at the rest of the Host Club, "See you tomorrow guys!" He opened the doors and headed out.

A pregnant silence took over, keeping everyone to their thoughts until Tamaki coughed and turned back to Hikaru, "Hikaru, you-…." He blinked and rubbed his eyes, "Wait…where is Hikaru?"

Everyone glanced to where the twins where standing to find only one doppelganger was standing there.

Kla-klank

"Um…" Tamaki looked at the door and blinked. He turned back to the other twin, who in turn, shrugged,

"I don't know anything…"


Hiro sighed as he walked out of the main doors, out into the courtyard, to get to the front gates. He was very annoyed with what happened the other day. He sighed again and ran his un-gloved hand through his flaming red hair.

"Oi, Hiro! Wait up!"

Hiro froze in his tracks, his hand falling limp to his side as the person behind him came to a stop afoot away from him. The red-head panted lightly and smiled a bit and held out a medium sized note, "H-here… I-I wanted to...to…" He inhaled deeply and caught his breath, a look of apology on his face, "I…I just want…to…to say-uh…no…umm…I just wanted to give you...this…before you left…"

Hiromi turned and face him with a blank expression, "Give me what?"

The twin held the noted higher, "This… I… Kaoru talked me into writing it but…I wanted to give you it myself…"

Hiro was hesitant but accepted it anyway. She looked at the front of the envelope and on the front was her name printed nicely in purple Chaucer. Hiro looked up at Hikaru to see a small blush stain his cheeks,

"Umm…well…I uh… better get going…Later!"

Hiro stood silent as she watched the boy run back to the school, closing the doors behind him. She sighed and shook her head and continued her way,

"…should've done it himself…"


Inside Third Music Room

15 minutes before homeroom


Haruhi smiled to herself as she watched her best bud walk out of the school gates. She released a compressed sigh, "Go and rest Hiro-nee…" (She calls her that when she is EXTREMELY worried about her)

"Relieved?"

Haruhi smiled and looked up into a pair of gentle amber eyes, "Yes Sempai…" She whispered the rest to herself, "but who knows how long that will last…"

Tamaki gave her a questioning look but she just shrugged, "Nothing."

He nodded and sat down next to her as he turned his gaze upon the fading red-head leaving the school grounds, "What happened? Did Hikaru do something stupid?"

"It was… never mind. Let's just say they have a little fairy godm-no wait… godfather…heh…"

Tamaki blinked, "Hunh?"

Haruhi chuckled and piled some tea cups, "N…nothing semp-pai…heh…"

Tamaki smiled and sighed, "I really do hope that Hikaru and Hiromi work this out…"

Haruhi smiled in response, "Don't worry sempai… They will…"


Fujioka Household

7:46 P.M.


"Hey… Hiromi-chan?"

"Yea?"

"What happened when Kaoru went out to talk to you?"

And with that, a small smirk graced the red-head's lips, "You noticed hunh?"

"Noticed?" Haruhi laughed as she turned to her side and took a good look at her friend, "I could tell them apart too you know."

Hiromi smiled and giggled as she folded her arms behind her head, "Yea yea I know… well… Let's just say he was his brother and asked me for forgiveness…"

"That's all?" Haruhi asked disbelievingly.

Hiro nodded, "Yep… well…" She leaned over the left side of her bed and pulled out the letter Kaoru had given her before, "He gave me this…" She stared at it for a moment, "Should I open it?"

Haruhi sighed in annoyance, "You still haven't opened it?"

"….No…"

Haruhi sighed and sat up, "Well now is a good time to."

Hiro merely nodded and sat up, sitting on her futon Indian style, "…ah…alright…" She carefully pulled up the flap, trying to be careful to not to rip it, and pulled out a carefully folded paper. She looked up at Haruhi once more, receiving a nod. Hiro let out a small sigh and unfolded the letter.

"Dear Hiromi…"

She continued reading on. Her eyes scanned through the letter, her gaze softening as the words began to sink in.

Haruhi bit her lip, staring at her friend, curios at what the letter is about. Then suddenly,

"Haruhi... What time is it?"

Haruhi blinked then quickly glanced around for a clock, "Um...its... 7:52. Why?" She turned back to her friend, who had bolted up and began throwing on a pair of old, torn boy shorts, "Hiro?"

"Damn..." Hiromi grabbed a red t-shirt and threw it on, "I'm sorry Haruhi..." She stuffed her feet in a pair of sneakers and slipped a sweat jacket on, "I gotta go." She grabbed the note and ran out the bedroom door, stopping to pick up a pair of keys, "I'll be back in an hour! Don't wait up!"

Haruhi ran after her friend, attempting to stop and question her odd behavior but as soon as she got to the front door, Hiromi was already across the street in the pouring rain, "WAIT! HIROMI!"

She didnt answer but instead continued running, the rain whipping across her face.

'I didn't know!'

The words of the letter imprinted in her head,

"Well... this is the first time I've actually felt I needed to write something... an apology letter to be exact. You better be satisfied! Kaoru went through a lot to persuade me to write this!"

Hiromi turned a tight corner, her legs burning from running so fast,

"Anyway,... I'm sorry. I didn't know what got over me... I mean... I just wished things went a bit differently, you know. I want to make it up to you.."

She shut her eyes and attempted to go faster,

"Come to Sakura Park at 8:00 P.M. tonight... I want to apologize to you in person...

Don't be late.

,Hikaru"

Hiromi growled and reached into her pocketm pulling out her phone. In a neon green light, the time was 7:55.

'Five Minutes...'

She never stopped to catch her breath or stopped to tie her shoes. She, herself, didnt know why she was acting this way. Why she wanted to see him so bad?

'Maybe its becuase I want to beat the shit out of him for scaring me? Yea...Yea thats it...'

Hiromi skidded to a stop in front a fountain, leaning over to catch her breath. She looked up at the clouds, a few of their tears fell in her eyes. She stood up straight and rubbed them.

"About time you got here... I thought you stood me up..."

Hiro's hands stopped. A small smile graced her lips as she turned, "I'd never do that... you know that... idiot."
