: Here it is! Hope you enjoy

EmotionalPrincess: Hope this chapter pleases you as well as the first one did

machi-pan: I can take it for short and it wasn't an embarrassment. I loved that story. Here's the second chapter.

I'm running. Running after the only thing that mattered. The only thing that kept me living. The face of my Hikaru. The faster I ran, the faster he ran. I knew I would never catch him so I gave up. I sat down and tears immediately were streaming down my face, hoping he would come back for me. I then heard my own voice running through my head.

"He'd never love you! You're a sick pervert" it chanted.

"Please stop" I begged.

It was of no avail. They were still chanting and making more tears spill my eyes.

"Kaoru" they said softly.

"No please stop. Stop the torture" I scream.

"Kaoru, wake up" it said in soothing tone.

"Huh, what?" I ask as my eyes snap open from that hellish nightmare.

"Kao, you were having a nightmare" he says bringing me into a loving embrace.

That's just it though. To him it was just brotherly, but to me it was more. It was love, no matter how much I didn't want it to be. I broke the embrace as tears formed in my eyes. He lifted my chin up so we were staring into each others' identical eyes. He then lifted his thumb and wiped away the tear stains on my face.

"It's okay I'm here" he says pulling me into another hug.

Little did he know that he was slowly killing me. The hugs were like knives piercing my heart. His words were bullets that ripped through my skin. And his brotherly gestures were fists that had an endless barrage of punches on me. But he couldn't help it. He didn't know that I was madly in love with him.

It was then that I noticed the gown I was in,and the I.V. in my arm. ~Great, I'm in a hospital~ I thought, still being squeezed by Hikaru.

"Kao, don't scare me like that" Hikaru said squeezing tighter.

"Sorry Hika, I didn't think I would fall" I admit laughing to myself.

"Why did you cut yourself in the first place?" he asks lifting my head we could see eye to eye. I notice he had tears in his eyes.

"Just...I...It doesn't matter" I finally managed.

"It so does matter" he replied with worried look.

"Not doesn..."

"Hikachan!, Kaochan! Are you in here?" came the familiar child-like voice.

"Over here Honey-senpai" I reply quickly.

I wanted Honey over here so I could have a reason to ignore Hikaru's questions.

Honey appeared, not so long after, atop of Mori-senpai's shoulders. Typical.

"Kaochan!" he yells as he leaps onto me with his arms wide open.

"Whoa, Honey, don't break him" Hikaru chuckled.

"Kaoru, why would you do something like this?" came a familiar voice.

"Ah, Haruhi, great to hear your voice" I lie. "I'm assuming the other two are here as well" I say with a smile. I couldn't tell whether it was real or fake.

"Yes they are. Now answer my question" Haruhi replied not letting my change the subject.

I tense because I couldn't find a suitable lie. Honey notices I tensed up and looks up into my eyes. ~I'll have to give him the information later~ I thought smiling.

"It really doesn't matter" I say without giving it a second guess.

"Kaoru, you almost DIED! It does matter. You matter!" He yelled before Haruhi could utter a reply.

"I...I matter?" I was fake, I knew I mattered . Just not how much I mattered.

"Of course you matter! You're my entire world!" he says now squeezing the life out of me.

I couldn't be his entire world. Haruhi is there for him along with everyone else.

"May I please have a moment with Kaoru?" Kyoya interrupted.

Wait, Kyoya? When did he come in? And why does he want to speak to me? But oddly enough everyone left, much to Hikaru's dismay.

"Kaoru, this isn't the first time, is it?"

"No" I reply with my head towards the floor.

Why? What could make you, of all people do this?" he asked taking a step towards me.

"Because...Because...Because I love Hikaru. More than a brother should. But he likes Haruhi, and I never even had a shot from the get go. Now he has new friends and doesn't need me" I say as tears start to well in my own eyes.

"Is that what you think? That he doesn't need you? You matter to him more than you could ever know. You matter to all of us because we are a family" Kyoya said putting a hand gently on my shoulder.

"It doesn't matter anyway, he likes Haruhi, so I should be happy for him" I reply with a big frown.

"You're a strong person Kaoru, please don't kill yourself. You really are loved dearly by all of us" Kyoya said as he exited the room.

It didn't take long after that for everyone to pile back in. Hikaru tried to leap to me, but Haruhi's hand that was holding his, kept him back. Wait! They're holding hands!? SHIT! Why me?

"Kao, me and Haruhi are...Going out" he finally finished with one of his Hikaru smiles. It wasn't one of his fake smiles either, it was a true beautiful Hikaru smile.

"Wonderful" I say with a true fake smile.

It broke my heart into a million pieces to hear that phrase leave his mouth.

Kyoya heard the confession and and looked over at me with sorrowful eyes.

"Kaochan, do you want some cake?" Honey asked with his childlike smile.

"No, I'm not all that hungry. Thanks anyway though" I

Everyone looked at me weirdly. It was because I had never turned down food before. Oh well, I needed to lose some weight anyway.

Every starts talking about the club, but not a single person tries to involve me in the conversation. I just sit there listening to them go on and on, but cant my eyes off the most beautiful thing in the room. Hikaru.

"Kaoru, what do you think?" I hear Kyoya ask me, breaking my trance.

Author's Note: So what did you think. Leave a review to be mentioned in the top of the next chapter. Hope you enjoyed this and Chapter 3will be up soon as well. Or at least when I get three reviews! Until then, See ya!
