Chapter 15: Karuizawa Pt. 2

Amelia was walking through the woods, seeing a wolf in the middle of the clearing. Its eyes glowed as it gazed upon her. It walked up to her calmly, not fazed by her approach. She looked at it oddly as the creature nodded to follow it. The wolf ran off, forcing Amelia to run after it in curiosity.

"Follow your instincts Amelia. You're the only one who knows how you truly feel…" a voice came out. It sounded familiar.

"You're allowed to have fun," her mother's voice echoed through the trees. "Just be yourself and you'll find a way."

Amelia stopped as she noticed a lake, the wolf sitting alongside it, looking through its reflection. As she approached it, the reflection of the wolf changed.

"You need to accept who and what you are," her father's voice echoed in her mind. As she looked down at the wolf's reflection, she suddenly froze. It was her…only the same eyes as the wolf. She looked at the wolf and it howled before jumping onto her.

Amelia shot up from the bed; she could feel her skin being cold from sweat. As her eyes darted on each side of the room she looked at the clock. It was only midnight. As she did Kaoru's eyes opened slightly, rubbing them tiredly. She didn't notice him when she grabbed her old towel from earlier in the evening wiping off her face.

"You all right Imai?" he questioned, making her jump. She rolled her eyes and he giggled. "Sorry didn't mean to scare you."

She was shivering a bit. Kaoru furrowed his brows at her shaking. He sat up, reaching for her arm, leaning a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey…" he whispered. Amelia looked at him in uncertainty. Kaoru looked at her worried, glancing as Hikaru snored on the other end of the room. He smiled lightly at her.

"Come here," Kaoru beckoned, grabbing her arm, gently pushing her back onto the bed. "Just relax okay? Another bad dream?"

Amelia nodded slightly. She jumped when Hikaru slept snoring on the other side of the room. Kaoru made a funny face. She looked at him in disbelief.

"You two sleep in the same room?" she questioned looking between him and Hikaru.

"You tune things out after a while," Kaoru giggled.

"I doubt it with how loud he is," she whispered. "Besides not like I'm going to now anyway."

"It's okay I couldn't sleep very well either," Kaoru whispered back. Amelia looked at him. He shifted to face her, lying on his side.

"Can't sleep without Hikaru next to you?" Amelia observed. Kaoru rested his head in his hand, looking at her.

"Surprisingly no," he whispered. "My mind's just been kind of wandering a bit that's all."

"What about?" she asked curiously.

He turned red as he looked at her almost embarrassingly. She furrowed her brows and swallowed hard.

"What did you dream about?" he asked, avoiding the question. Amelia thought for a moment.

"I keep having a wolf in my dreams. This time…it lead me to a lake," Amelia explained. Kaoru looked at her in curiosity.

"When I looked at its reflection," she continued. "It wasn't the reflection of the wolf…it was me."

Kaoru looked at her thoughtfully, trying to absorb what she was saying.

"You know this isn't the first time with the wolf in my dream…I'm wondering if my mind is telling me something," Amelia remarked. "I'm lucky if I can sleep tonight."

"Just relax, Hikaru and I used to get nightmares off and on," Kaoru mentioned. "You want to know what we did when we couldn't sleep?"

Amelia looked at him curiously.

"Here move over," he said softly. She furrowed her brows when he scooted even closer to her and swallowed hard.

"Kaoru?" she whispered. She jumped when Hikaru snored and Kaoru put a finger on her lips.

"Relax, I'm not going to do anything I promise," Kaoru whispered shifting to his back and pulling her to him so she laid on her side. She felt his arm wrap around her, the closeness warming her up.

"I know it's not much but…when we were growing up this seemed to help us go back to sleep," Kaoru whispered. He lifted his one free hand, stroking her hair slightly.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Amelia asked a little hesitant being this close but her eyes closed tiredly before she knew it. Kaoru blinked a few times at her before closing his eyes smiling slightly.

His mind wandered that night while she fell asleep. The Halloween when she looked the way she did changing into the Red Riding Hood for them. What was it about her and the way she was that sometimes made him not know what to do? Then tonight when her voice changed to the seductive tone made him shiver a bit. His eyes opened a bit as he glanced over at her.

And there's something about it I still can't understand…but I don't want to let go of it…and I don't know why…and that's…very different and scary to me.

…

LA LA LA! LALA LA LA LA!

Kaoru awoke from the very loud ringtone coming from Hikaru's phone. He noticed his brother still in bed obviously ignoring it as he slept. Kaoru looked over his shoulder, noticing Amelia not in bed. He smirked, rolling over onto the floor (making it seem like he's been on the floor all night), grabbing Hikaru's phone and throwing it up towards Hikaru's head.

Amelia (dressed in jean shorts, a red tank top and white, black and red plaid long-sleeve shirt) sat at an empty table, allowing Haruhi to pour her a cup of coffee.

"You sleep well with those two?" Haruhi questioned.

"It could've been better. Hikaru's snoring is louder than most people I know," Amelia mentioned.

"Hey! I said I was sorry didn't I Kaoru?" Hikaru asked, his voice loud enough to be heard into the room as he and Kaoru walked down the steps. Amelia groaned.

"Here they are, rise and shine," Amelia commented.

"I was awoken by that ringtone again and the floor was so cold and hard," Kaoru complained, his eyes tearing up. Oh so he pretended he was on the floor all night, Amelia thought trying not to laugh. This is good.

The twins came over to her table, pulling out chairs and sitting themselves down.

"Hello Imai, hi Haruhi how about some breakfast," the twins greeted them. They started a full list of what they wanted for breakfast, making Haruhi's face turn into annoyance. However, Tamaki placed a full platter of foods for breakfast in front of them trying to get them to "behave". Amelia grabbed some of the bread and jam, putting it on a plate as Tamaki passed out a Karuizawa Guide to a Host Club Retreat to the four of them.

"I produced this vacation guide as you wanted to sleep your vacation away. I want to make sure you make the most out of the summer," Tamaki announced. "And Haruhi, you cannot address me as your "senpai" rule #1."

"Wait what's with the rule of getting up at 6am. Did Kyoya and Honey agree to this?" the twins asked. Tamaki's face went into horror and started sobbing on his own. The twins handed him some ham to try to cheer him up. Amelia rolled her eyes taking more sips of her coffee.

"This is definitely one way to wake up in the morning," Amelia commented under her breath. She tried the bread and jam while the twins kept to themselves.

"Either way Kaoru, I didn't mean to kick you out of bed," Hikaru began. "Besides, Imai's bed was right there, why didn't you just climb in with her?"

"I told you I didn't want to be rude and wake her up," Kaoru lied. Amelia smirked winking at Kaoru when Hikaru wasn't looking. He winked back, smiling for a moment before pretending not to talk to Hikaru while he ate some of the ham on his plate.

"Haruhi Fujioka?" a boy questioned in surprise and Haruhi looked up in the same surprise.

"Arai?" she questioned. The twins and Tamaki looked up in shock. Amelia glanced noticing Arai and Haruhi greeting each other casually. "It's been since graduation. How have you been?"

"Good but why did you cut your hair. It was nice and long. It's a shame it's so short now," Arai commented. He noticed the twins and Tamaki standing next to Haruhi watching them intently. Amelia watched them in confusion. Why are they so caught up in this boy talking to Haruhi?

"Are these your friends?" Arai asked.

"Oh yeah these are my classmates, Hikaru and Kaoru. And this is…" Haruhi paused for a moment thoughtfully pointing to Tamaki. "An acquaintance of mine."

Tamaki stood shocked and moped for the rest of the morning.

That was when the whole day changed, even in the minds of the twins.

…

Amelia sat with the rest of the Host Club while the twins kept their distance from them with Haruhi and Arai with their own table. Even after Arai talking to her about having a thing for her and Haruhi apologizing, things seemed to have settled. But Amelia was getting concerned about Hikaru. For some reason he was acting strangely rude to Haruhi and her guest. Is he normally like this? She thought as the others gotten together to tell stories with Arai. Amelia got up walking over to Kaoru and Hikaru as they sat alone, facing away from the rest of the group.

She walked up to Hikaru, putting a hand behind his chair and ruffling his hair.

"What's with you Hikaru? You too cool to sit with us?" Amelia joked. Kaoru smiled at Amelia for a moment and looked at his twin.

"We could go over, they look like they're having fun," Kaoru suggested.

"They're not going to bite if that's what you're worried about it," Amelia mentioned. But as he turned away, giving a rather smug look, she felt him have a different vibe than usual.

"No thanks, I'm not into annoying things like this. I can't believe milord allowed that guy to just come in and take over," Hikaru spat. Amelia furrowed her brows at him.

"Do you have a problem with Arai? You barely know the guy," Amelia asked bewildered.

"So? I don't need to know him. I just know he's not a real friend if Haruhi didn't even bother to contact him since after graduation," Hikaru stated flatly.

"Hikaru, Kaoru! Come over here, you can learn what Haruhi was like in middle school!" Tamaki announced, encouragingly beckoning them to come over.

"No thanks! It's dumb anyway," Hikaru announced bluntly. Amelia felt a lump in her throat, is he serious? "Besides I don't understand why these stories excite you so much. Can't the guy tell that we don't want him around? Haruhi's heart doesn't have enough room for him!"

SLAP! Haruhi slapped Hikaru right across the face (in Amelia's case she thought rightfully so). Amelia backed off from Hikaru, standing next to Kaoru's chair.

"That's not for you to decide Hikaru! I'm not going to let you insult my friend," Haruhi announced.

"Come on…" Hikaru growled. "Who cares about other people?! We're the ones who are your friends!"

Hikaru then dashed up the stairs, his face beat red. Kaoru got up quickly from his seat, following his brother up to their room. Amelia stood there speechless as everyone else. He…was jealous of Arai…

"I guess I better go," Arai announced, heading out. "Thanks for the tea Haruhi."

"Here let us walk you out," Tamaki insisted. Amelia waited for a moment, watching as Kaoru walked into the room. She looked worriedly at their door. She glanced at the others as she walked up the stairs of their room.

She listened in.

"Why don't you apologize to Arai?" Kaoru's voice suggested.

"No way I'm not going down there!" Hikaru protested.

Knock, knock, knock.

Amelia walked in seeing Kaoru ripping off Hikaru's clothes and already shirtless.

"Well if you're not going to apologize than I will for you!" Kaoru yelled. The twins froze as Amelia walked in.

"Uh…" she greeted turning beat red at the sight. Hikaru rolled his eyes, turning just as red as she was.

"Fine! Go!" Hikaru growled, throwing his shirt at Kaoru. Kaoru looked at his twin in frustration. Hikaru jumped into the bed, grabbing his Gameboy.

"I still need your pants," Kaoru commented as he put on Hikaru's shirt. Hikaru glanced towards Amelia.

"Unless you want a show Imai I suggest you turn around," Hikaru mentioned grudgingly. Amelia immediately turned facing the door. He took off his pants under the sheets than threw them at Kaoru who quickly changed while Amelia kept her back to them. Her face was still a little red in embarrassment. Kaoru put a hand on her shoulder when he was finished getting into Hikaru's clothes, smiling slightly.

"I'm going to apologize to Arai. You mind staying up here with him?" Kaoru asked motioning towards Hikaru. Amelia glanced at a naked Hikaru under the sheets, playing with his Gameboy like nothing was wrong.

"Is he going to put on pants or just stay bare the entire time?" Amelia whispered questioningly, her face turning redder. Kaoru glanced trying not to look amused at her discomfort.

"If you ask nicely after his bad mood maybe. Worse case just throw a pair of pants at him," Kaoru smirked. Amelia allowed him to pass by, opening the door.

"I won't be long I promise," Kaoru reassured as Amelia watched him.

"What am I supposed to do?" Amelia asked. Kaoru shrugged.

"He's not going anywhere so just stay put," Kaoru replied flatly. He opened the door and waved at them before closing it, leaving Amelia helpless with a rather annoyed and unmoving Hikaru.

She sighed, going to her air mattress and sitting down tiredly, back towards Hikaru (mainly a respect of privacy).

Hikaru looks at her noticing her look a little stressed. He furrows his brows at her in confusion.

"You're quiet for once. You all right there, Imai?" he questioned.

"I was just…it's been a long couple days," Amelia replied tiredly.

"Tell me about it," Hikaru agreed. Amelia rolled herself over to lay on her back on the air mattress.

"You seemed pretty heated downstairs," Amelia remarked. "Are you feeling all right?"

"Yeah just annoyed. I don't get why Kaoru's making a fuss on apologizing to Arai. But who knows," Hikaru stated.

"Well you were chewing him out for nothing," Amelia commented bluntly.

"Hey you would too if he was hogging your best friend," Hikaru growled in disagreement.

"Sure I would…" she agreed sarcastically.

…

Kaoru was out for a little longer than usual talking to Haruhi outside the pension. Amelia was just trying to keep things quiet.

Hikaru was still playing his Gameboy when he kept noticing Amelia glancing at him.

"What's your problem? You're really quiet," Hikaru mentioned

"Are you going to put on pants anytime soon?" Amelia questioned. "It's getting awkward."

"What you never seen a naked guy before?" Hikaru questioned. Amelia rolled her eyes looking away embarrassed. Hikaru noticed rolling his eyes.

"Okay, okay. Turn around and close your eyes," Hikaru sighed her. She looked at him bewildered before doing as she was told. She heard his feet hit the ground, causing her to freeze. His feet passed her looking through a suitcase. Two more thumps of his feet and then he walked over grabbing her hand and pulling her up from the air mattress. He put her on the bed, sitting next to her. She opened her eyes seeing that apparently he changed into Kaoru's sleep pants just so he wasn't completely nude anymore.

"I'm fine, just a little annoyed is all. Seemed like that guy was just taking up Haruhi's time and was just…I don't know," Hikaru mentioned. Amelia nodded in understanding. He's jealous. And because of that he's going to have a stubborn attitude. But maybe I can help relax that?

She reached out her hands to his shoulders, touching them and then rubbing them gently.

"It's normal to be that way when you feel like your friend is being hogged by someone you don't know," Amelia reassured. "Just cut Haruhi some slack though okay?"

Hikaru looked at her a little guilty for what he did earlier with Haruhi. She smiled at him reassuringly, rubbing his shoulders a bit more. He relaxed for a moment leaning into it before the knocking on the door made them both jump. Hikaru grabbed his Gameboy immediately trying to hide any relaxation of the situation.

Knock, knock. Kaoru opened the door walking in.

"Well Arai's gone. So we don't have to worry about him anymore," Kaoru announced.

"Good for Arai. Now if you'll excuse me I'm trying to level up," Hikaru spat grabbing his Gameboy and frantically going back into stubborn mode. Kaoru rolled his eyes at Hikaru and looked at Amelia.

"Hey can we talk privately real quick?" Kaoru questioned. Amelia glanced at Hikaru.

"You going to be okay?" she whispered to Hikaru.

"Yeah sure you guys go talk," Hikaru said plainly. She nodded, getting up. Kaoru waited with his back at the door. Amelia turned around back at Hikaru.

"Relax okay?" she whispered.

"Yeah, yeah," Hikaru sighed. Amelia sighed, putting a hand through his hair comforting and he flinched turning red at the sudden touch. Amelia already turned towards Kaoru that she didn't see his rather surprised look on his face as she headed to his brother. Amelia walked out, closing the door behind her.

"You wanted to talk?" she asked. Kaoru put his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah you want to go out back?" he asked and she nodded following him to the backyard. "Sorry for the wait I had to ask Haruhi to hang out with me tomorrow as an apology for Hikaru's behavior with Arai."

"I'm assuming you want me to take care of Hikaru while you and Haruhi are out," Amelia assumed as they approached the backyard. Most of the customers were inside for lunch.

"What? No I gotta plan to get Hikaru to apologize to Haruhi," Kaoru grinned.

"By…you going on a date with her?" Amelia questioned in confusion. "That doesn't make any sense if he's not there."

"Ha! Don't be silly. I'm going to get her set up to go on a date with Hikaru instead," Kaoru laughed. Amelia furrowed her brows. Well that would be rather interesting.

"I need your help," Kaoru smirked. "I'm going to pretend to be sick with a cold tomorrow. I want you and the others to come with me as Hikaru and Haruhi go out to the Ginza."

Amelia immediately relaxed. At least he wasn't leaving a rather grumpy Hikaru alone with her. Who knows how he'd be all day.

…

The Next Day…

Amelia was half-asleep throughout Kaoru's devious plan to get Hikaru out of the room to meet up with a dressed up Haruhi in the Ginza. As Hikaru headed out she could the door and Kaoru giggling. After seeing that Hikaru was out of the inn through the window, he hopped out of bed with a soft thump. He knelt down at Amelia's air mattress and rocked her slightly.

"Amelia?" he greeted. "Come on wake up."

Amelia groaned sleepily rolling onto her other side. Kaoru rolled his eyes.

"Imai! Come on you promised you would help," he groaned. "Rise and shine or we are going to miss all the fun."

"All right, all right," Amelia gave in sitting up as Kaoru grinned.

"Good Imai, now let's get started shall we?"

That morning they gathered the rest of the Host Club putting on disguises so Hikaru and Haruhi wouldn't notice them in the crowd. Tamaki and Mori were dressed as laborers (full bandana, tank tops and long pants), Kyoya and Honey as tourists (Kyoya in a standard Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses and shorts, while Honey dressed up like a small girl with a sundress and hat), while Kaoru and Amelia dressed as close to locals as they could (Kaoru had a local sports shirt and hat with shorts). He even pushed Amelia to wearing more feminine attire with a red paisley spring dress that went down to her thighs with black leggings and sandals. Kaoru even gave her hair extensions and make up to fit the bill. It was insane how well disguised that Amelia was even impressed by their last minute progress.

Even though the disguising was a bit of a chore, once the Host Club arrived at the Ginza they were on a mission. Kaoru spotted Haruhi and Hikaru not too far ahead of them with his small pair of binoculars he got at one of the local shops.

"Okay I got them in sight," Kaoru whispered. "We're going to tail them and hope Hikaru makes some progress."

Amelia looked at Tamaki realizing his rather annoyed and desperate expression on his face as he saw Haruhi.

"Why is Hikaru on a date with Haruhi?! I mean look at her she's so adorable!" Tamaki whined. "Not fair not fair!"

"Keep your voice down!" Kaoru whispered, but it was a close call. They all froze when Haruhi and Hikaru looked at each other turning their heads. Everyone scattered immediately hiding, trying not to be found out. Amelia ran in Tamaki and Kaoru's direction as they ended up sitting against the wall, breathing heavy from running so fast out of sight. Amelia knelt down, on the far side of the wall seeing when the coast was clear.

"I told you to keep quiet stupid. We don't want to be found out," Kaoru whispered.

"I'm supposed to let this slide without having some form of emotion?" Tamaki whispered back. Amelia stood up and brushed herself off when Hikaru and Haruhi were moving into town.

"Coast is clear," she announced, moving out into the street with the others.

"Look milord," Kaoru began. "This is Hikaru's day to find and listen to others that matter to him. He's immature and bursts out his emotions on others without restraint. We relied on each other for so long he doesn't know how to handle other people in his life. So I think he needs to learn basic personal interaction."

Tamaki and the others looked shocked at Kaoru's suddenly mature outlook on how he saw his brother's behavior.

"Kaoru, you're awesome," Tamaki commented.

"But I don't want any of us to interfere or you're dead," Kaoru stated bluntly. Everyone wasn't really expecting that sudden change in attitude, freezing at that moment.

"Then why are we following them?" Tamaki questioned.

"Because it's not fair that Hikaru gets all his time with Haruhi without us. And it is rather interesting to see how it progresses," Kaoru replied, looking through his binoculars again.

…

The afternoon ended up being a bit of a tough thing on everyone's nerves. After rather harsh attempts at keeping Haruhi happy and being an escort they finally were having a decent time. Even Kaoru had a few moments of wanting to be with them as soon as his name was mentioned in a conversation between the two of them. They even had everyone get ice cream to console Kaoru who was crying almost as bad as Tamaki.

When they started walking on their own again and it was still a few hours into the date. Amelia tried to stay close to Kaoru keeping an eye on him. They walked ahead seeing Haruhi and Hikaru having a decent time together. As they group split up in different parts of the street, Amelia stood behind Kaoru who was watching them a bit of a ways through a store window trying not to look distressed.

She looked around noticing a café nearby. She glanced at Kaoru noticing he was staying put and heading into the café.

"Well looks like they're still enjoying themselves eh Imai?" Kaoru asked, hearing nothing but silence. He looked beside him not seeing her and panicked.

"Where'd she go?" he questioned until Amelia came back out with a bag of snacks and two to go carry-ons for drinks with six drinks in total.

"Hey guys have a treat on me," Amelia announced going to a bench putting the food and drinks down. Kaoru walked over to her surprised as the rest of the group gathered (except Tamaki who was pouting by one of the stores).

"Imai you didn't have to-" began to object

"I wanted to now hush," Amelia interrupted. She handed him and the others a cold lemonade drink and giving a small cookie to everyone (except Kyoya who politely rejected). Amelia rolled her eyes at Tamaki who was apart from them grabbing his lemonade and a cookie.

"Be right back," she stated as she walked over the sulking king. She tapped his shoulder making him look behind him teary eyed until he saw her.

"Imai?" he questioned. She held out the lemonade and snack and he looked at it in confusion.

"I know you're having a rough day. I figured this'll cheer you up a bit," Amelia replied handing it to him. Tamaki took it in a blank stare and looked down at the food as she smiled and walked away. He turned a little red faced, smiling a bit before chomping onto the cookie. Amelia went back to the bench, getting rid of the trash and having her share of the treats while everyone wandered except for Kaoru who sat there waiting with her things. She grabbed her lemonade slurping it through the straw and grabbing her cookie in the other hand.

"You know you didn't have to get that for everyone," Kaoru informed as she sat next to him looking at her.

"Everyone looked like they've been stressed, including you," Amelia objected.

"I'm not as much anymore," Kaoru disagreed.

"You still are, I see it in your face," Amelia protested quietly, breaking off her cookie and eating a small part of it looking at him with a smirk. Kaoru looked at her in confusion.

"Is it that noticeable?" Kaoru asked. Amelia shrugged not answering the question with a smug look. He turned red rather embarrassed that someone noticed his stress with his brother being out without him.

…

Later on in the day, the group called it quits once Tamaki couldn't take much more of seeing Haruhi and Hikaru on their date. They went back to the pensione as thunderclouds began to form in the summer sky. Amelia heard a bit of a rumble as rain started to drizzle.

"Looks like you guys came back just in time before the storm today," Misuzu announced as they walked into the main room of the pensione.

"There's a storm today?" Tamaki questioned, suddenly alert.

"Well not for another hour or so," Misuzu corrected. "Although looks like it's already starting to drizzle."

"We'll sit it out here before going back to your place Honey," Kyoya insisted. Honey nodded in agreement. Amelia headed up the stairs.

"Feeling okay Imai?" Kyoya asked as she walked up the stairs.

"Yeah I'm just going to lie down for a bit while we have some downtime," Amelia replied smiling slightly and heading to her room, closing the door as Kyoya smiled back. He sat down across from Kaoru in the table.

"How you holding up?" Kyoya questioned.

"Just hoping Hikaru doesn't screw up," Kaoru answered. Kyoya glanced at the Amelia's room.

"That does seem to be of some concern," Kyoya commented. "However, Hikaru needs to learn from his own mistakes without someone hovering over him as well."

"Yeah. I know," Kaoru agreed. Kyoya looked at Kaoru.

"I'm surprised that Amelia is not taking it as roughly as Tamaki," Kyoya remarked. Kaoru looked at Kyoya in confusion.

"Why would she?" he asked. "I don't understand why she would."

Kyoya smiled slightly.

"Well it's just an observation. She spends a lot of time with you two. I would think that seeing Haruhi with Hikaru alone would make her feel…well not exactly jealous but I don't know," Kyoya explained. Kaoru furrowed his brows in curiosity and looked at Kyoya oddly.

"You don't think she's that kind of person do you?" Kaoru asked.

Kyoya shrugged. Kaoru looked up at his room and got up.

"I'll make sure she's okay."

…

Amelia sat on the twin's bed looking out the window where the rain started drizzling lightly. She had to admit she had some concern over Hikaru. He's been so tense since Arai. Hopefully he doesn't take it out on Haruhi, she thought as she heard a knock on the door. She turned around seeing the door open revealing Kaoru.

"Hey," Kaoru greeted. She smiled slightly as he closed the door behind him. "You mind some company?"

"I thought that you'd be downstairs waiting on Hikaru," Amelia admitted.

"It'll probably be quiet for a while," Kaoru mentioned taking off his shoes and hopping onto the bed and across from her by the window. Amelia smiled a bit before looking back out into the window.

"Do you think Hikaru will be okay?" she questioned fiddling with her fingers.

"You that worried about him?" Kaoru asked. Amelia turned red.

"I'm still trying to figure him out," Amelia admitted. "When you were out he didn't really talk that much until a little later. He just felt like Arai was hogging Haruhi. I just, I don't know."

"You're not jealous of Haruhi are you?" Kaoru questioned. Amelia looked a little taken aback until laughing a bit.

"No of course not. I was just…worried that if I have friends outside of the club that maybe he'd get jealous of them," Amelia explained.

"I wouldn't worry about it so much. By then I'd hope he grows out of it," Kaoru reassured. "You're allowed to have friends because us and the club Amelia."

"Yeah I know. But…the club feels more like family sometimes," Amelia admitted.

"Yeah milord kind of keeps that kind of atmosphere doesn't he?" Kaoru laughed a bit. Amelia nodded. They heard a slight rumbling of the thunderstorm, the rain coming down a little harder now.

A few minutes went by in silence, them sitting next to each other looking out the window. She glanced at him.

"Remember when we were at the beach?" Amelia began, Kaoru looking at her. "The thunderstorm was so bad the power went out."

"You came to our room crying," Kaoru remembered. "Told us that you hated being alone in the dark."

"I never did thank you…" Amelia said lightly, looking at him now. "Both of you do so much for me. You even broke into my house to apologize for the mock fight."

"You don't have to thank us Imai. We're out for each other," Kaoru mentioned.

"But the question is…" Amelia smirked, looking at him and leaning in closer to him looking into his direct eye level with curiosity. "Why?"

Kaoru grinned.

"You know I don't think I have a right answer yet because even we don't know," Kaoru admitted, rubbing the back of his neck laughing a bit.

Amelia rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"Figures," she teased leaning back as she looked out the window. Kaoru looked at her for a few minutes in silence.

Honestly it's still too early to tell why we feel like we can do just about anything with you…he thought and he didn't realize that Hikaru was not the only one who doesn't know what to do with his emotions yet.

Only time can tell…
