The first part is in Kaoru's POV, continued from his thoughts in the last chapter. After the line-thingie in the middle of this chapter, it switches back to Nessa's POV. It later switches to third-person. Normally I don't switch POVs so often, but I felt it was somewhat needed for this chapter.

Thanks and Happy Reading!


Maybe it'll be a good thing for Hikaru. At least, he'll open up and maybe learn to trust others. Maybe Nessa will be a good thing for him…

I grabbed my phone and called the vice-president of the club himself. Surely he'd know her phone number. I mean what doesn't that guy know?


'Raise one hand to the sky. Raise them both, lift them high. And you'll cut through the darkness. Make it go! The time to start is no-'

"Hello?" I picked up my phone.

"This is Nessa right?"

"Um. Yes? Who is this?"

"Oh good, so Kyoya did give me the right number. It's Kaoru."

Why does Kyoya have my phone number? Guess, I shouldn't be surprised.

"Uh, so what do you need?"

"Well, you know the homework in Foreign Language class? We don't get it. Especially Hikaru. Can you come over and help?"

"Can't Haruhi-"

"Already tried. He's busy buying groceries or something."

At this time? Why would Haruhi buy groceries this late?

Kaoru mentally face-palmed at his horrible excuse.

"And Kyoya?"

"He doesn't have our class."

"But didn't he have it last year-"

"Why can't you?"

I fell silent. I guess, an hour helping them isn't too much to ask. I sighed, "Fine."

"Great! The car is outside waiting for you!"

"Huh?" I looked out the window and sure enough, there was a limo parked in front the entryway.

"I figured you'd say yes." I could feel the smirk on his face. "See you soon! Bye Nessa!"

I sighed and walked down the stairs. This shouldn't be too bad.


The ride there was actually pretty pleasant. The chauffeur was very nice, and the seats were very comfortable. The Hitachiin's saved no expense when it came to luxury. As their mansion came into view, I gaped. Sure I had a mansion about the same size, but I was still not used to the fact that I was going to school with a bunch of rich kids, who all had mansions about the size of mine, if not bigger. The architecture, was beautiful, as were the gardens surrounding it. I wondered what the inside looked like.


"Why do we have to learn this? What does 'Je t'aime' mean anyway?"

Kaoru chuckled, "Having troubles?"

Hikaru glared at his twin, "Obviously. Now why don't you come help me?"

"I don't get it either," Kaoru lied, "that's why I called someone to help us."

"Haruhi?"

"Nope. She was busy."

"Well then, whose coming over?"

Knock Knock!

The figure who walked in, surprised Hikaru. He gaped at the girl.

"N-Nessa?"


Sorry for the short chapter, but this is about as long as they're going to be up until after Christmas! Oh and for clarification, Nessa still doesn't know about Haruhi's gender, so that's why Kaoru refers to Haruhi as 'he' when talking to Nessa, but 'her' when talking to Hikaru.

Hang in there my fellow Otakus!
