Night Four - 366/001

Saturday / Sunday

Days were lonelier when you had a room to yourself. Hours seemed longer. Everything felt colder. And for the first time I truly felt alone. Now that I think about it, I've always been with Syo. When he was in the hospital suffering I didn't t leave his side. Even though I went to school and he didn't, I never felt like this. I wonder... All those days I looked at his slepying form as I lifted my bag over my shoulder, was he really asleep? Or was he just pretending to be to hide this loneliness? Did I force this upon him every time I turned away? I feel like he's just so far away, so far ahead of me. Does he feel that way to? Will he feel that way when Otoya comes and I leave him behind again?

Kaoru sighed as he dropped his pencil back to his wooden desk. Since his room had been switched, he found himself worrying about his brother more and more. Apparently so had their mother. All of his and Otoya's hopes of Syo going with them to the temple for new years night had been dashed.

He groaned, rolling his head back long bangs falling back looking at his door for the almost upsidedown angle. His lips puckered as he thought.

"I don't want to go out tonight." His blue eyes catching sight of of the blue and white kimono he was supposed to wear. It made him want to go less. The colors were the same as Syo's, but the style was reverse. Instead of the blue leading from the chest whitening at the end, his was white from the middle tying darker as it went out. "I really don't want to go."

"Kaoru." His mother's voice came lightly through the door as her delicate knuckles brushed the wood. "Ittoki-kun is here."

"Tell him he can come in."

"Kaoru!" Otoya exclaimed happy as the door burst open. The mother's blue eyes looked at him apologetically as if she were saying, 'He wouldn't wait'. "Nani! Kaoru you can't wear that!"

The blonde looked down at his own clothes. It was his favorite striped hoodie and a pair of jeans. "I don't feel like going."

"You promised!" The redhead whinned.

"I know." Kaoru sighed.

"I think you should Kaoru." His mother tugged a piece of bang back into place. "If you stay home Syo will get upset."

"Is he up?" Otoya asked turning to her. "Can we see him before we go?"

"Well," She looked over her should back at his door. "He might be awake by now. So I don't see why not. Kaoru be home at a reasonable time, okay?"

He grumbled at his mother, he really didn't want to go. "Fine. But I'm not changing."

Otoya speed out as fast as his red kimono would let him. He slowed at Syo's door, taking a deep breath before he went in. "Syo-chan."

Kaoru's eyes widened at the sight if his brother. The top half of Syo leaned his windowsill as he sat, dull gaze staring off into the distance. Even in the light he looked so pale he was practically glowing.

"Syo?" Kaoru's voice shook.

"Syo-chan?"

The older blonde looked back at them. He blinked a few times before smiling. "Are you heading out to the festival? Sorry I don't think mom will let me go this year."

t took everything that Otoya had to get the younger twin to leave after talking to Syo. As the walked down the lanterned walkway, he couldn't help but to let his red eyes trail down to the younger blonde.

"Kaoru..."

Kaoru's hands were shoved into his pockets, his eyebrows arched, teeth gnawing at his lip. His blue eyes somewhat angry. "What?" He snapped.

"I know that you're upset but you promised Syo that you would have a good time."

"No I promised I would come without complaining. I never said anything about having a good time."

"Oi! Chibi!" A voice called out through the thin crowd. "Chibi!"

"Syo-chan?" Another called out.

That made Kaoru look. He turned to see three males coming tword them. One of them waving happily as his curly blonde hair bounded as he walked, one of them wearing a dark hood with his strawberry blonde hair sticking out his hands stuck in the pockets of his jeans and a smirk on his face, and the last with shining blue hair, eyes averted as he frowned deeply. None of the three he had ever seen before.

"Ochibi." The one who smirked stopped in front of the other blonde practically holding him back. "It's been a while."

"You know then Kaoru?" Otoya leaned into Kaoru's ear.

"No idea." Kaoru said, clearly wanting them to hear.

"Syo-chan?"

"You two have the wrong person." The cyan haired boy spoke up. "He's too tall."

"Ah, are you sure, Ai-chan?" The curly haired one asked trying to get a better look at Kaoru though the strawberry blonde held him back.

"Of course." 'Ai' stated. "Though they look alike."

"You know Syo?" Kaoru couldn't hold it back.

"So you're not him." The curly one said. "Oh I wanted to see Syo-chan!"

"Natsuki, you can see him next time." Ai said. "Ren, you should go back and tell Haruka he won't be visiting today."

'Ren' sighed, stepping out from between the tall blonde and Kaoru. "I didn't want to spend the night here anyways, I'd rather be with Masa." He tsked, leaving them behind.

"He's just too cute Ai-chan. Just like Syo-chan!" 'Natsuki' squealed. "I just want to hug him."

Before Natsuki could step closer, Otoya moved between them ad Ai grabbed his shoulder. "Natsuki." Ai's voice harsh as if to warn him not to defy him.

"If you don't mind." Kaoru peeked out from behind Otoya. His hands gripping the redhead's kimono. "His do you know my brother? I've never seen you before?"

"In the park naturally!" Natsuki exclaimed.

"Where is Syo now?" Ai asked.

"He's not feeling well." Otoya muttered sadly.

Ai's cyan eyes narrowed. Natsuki frowned. "Ai-chan."

"You should tell him that falling in the snow is bad for his health."

"What?" Kaoru said.

"That's how I met him. You asked that correct?" Ai paused. "I was walking through the park when he ran into me. Only strange people walk at night."

Kaoru was unsure what to say. He didn't understand anything. He just watched as the cyan haired boy walked away. The other lingered for a moment, his blue eyes meeting his sharp green eyes, before Natsuki turned away.

"Ai! Come back here." The ran after the other.

"Hey Kaoru?"

"Yeah, Otoya?"

"Who the heck were those guys?"

"I don't know I've never seen them in my life." Kaoru tugged at his hoodie.

"Then what was that about."

"I don't... know." He paused. "What does my brother do when I'm not home?"

Syo heard a tapping at his window. His eyes brightened with excitement. He fumbled with his covers for a second before jumping out of bed. He threw the window open the second he reached it looking around.

"Ai?"

"Syo." Ai looked at him, leaning against the shutters. "How are you?"

"Fine." The blonde smiled. "Are we going to visit everyone tonight too?"

"No."

"Ai?"

The blonde poked his head, and most of his chest out of the window so even looking sideways he could look into the cyan eyes of his visitor. He forced his voice not to tremble. "Is something wrong?"

"I met you're brother tonight."

"Oh Kaoru. You guys went to the festival?" Syo laughed. "I though you guys wouldn't go near a temple."

"That's a just a silly thing from one of your dumb horror films."

"Hmm, to bad, crosses don't work either then." Syo smirked.

Ai flashed him a wide smile, revealing the teeth that Syo had come to be all to familiar with. The sight of them made Syo's pale face brighten a little in the soft moon's glow. "As if."
