Operation: Make Brianna Feel Better! Hikaru and Kaoru edition. And a sudden revelation?!
"We've got to do something…she's literally a shell of the person she used to be!" Hikaru said as he and his brother sat in his room.
It was Saturday; a day after Brianna had her mini breakdown.
"But…how?" Kaoru asked him, staring up at the ceiling.
"We have to keep her mind off of it obviously…" Hikaru muttered, also looking up at the ceiling.
As they thought about what to do, their room door burst open.
"Hikaru, Kaoru! Whose this girl?" the twin's felt their eyes widened as they looked at the all too familiar face of their grandmother, Kazuha Hitachin.
And they felt the color drain from their faces as they saw what it was that she had in her hand.
It was a picture of Brianna.
"Wha—? How—?" they stuttered.
"Sorry boys, but it seems like your grandmother found out about your little stash of pictures of this girl." Their mother, Yuzuha said, laughing as she popped out from behind her mother.
The two boy's faces went from pale to pink in an instant.
In their old secret playroom, which was up in the attic, they had put pictures of their time spent with the host club. However, nearly half of the pictures were of Brianna.
The boys were speechless as they gaped at their grandmother. They had never told anyone about those pictures, but it seemed that their mother had somehow already known, and now their grandmother knew.
Their grandmother smiled mischievously at them.
"Oh~ I see~ she's the girl you like." The twin's faces turned a dark shade of red as they tried to speak; only no words came out.
"Oh, that's what I thought too! They have quite a few pictures of her, don't they?" their mother stated.
Their grandmother nodded.
"Yes, well…tomorrow bring her here! I'd like to meet her." their grandmother stated decisively.
She then turned to walk out, but stopped as if she had suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, and if you don't bring her tomorrow…" she paused and turned to look back at them with an evil smile. "I will stay here every day and make your lives difficult until you do bring her." She left the room, Yuzuha trailing behind her, leaving a pair of shocked twins in their wake.
After regaining their senses, the two decided to call Brianna to ask her to come over.
"Hello?" Brianna said, answering the phone.
The twins noted how empty she sounded.
"Brianna…?" Kaoru started, but trailed off, not knowing how to go about it.
"Yes, Kaoru. What is it?" she asked.
"W-well…y-you see…our grandmother came to visit and, well, she wants to meet you. Tomorrow. Do you think you can come…?" Kaoru asked her hopefully.
There was a short pause before she answered him.
"Sure. What time are you coming to pick me up?" the twins looked at each other, relief on their faces.
"We'll come pick you up at eight." Hikaru told her.
"Alright…I'll see you tomorrow. Bye."
"Bye" they said in unison, hanging up the phone.
Sighing, they both looked at each other.
Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
The Next Day-
'This is going to be a long day…' the twins thought as they rang Brianna and Carissa's doorbell.
The door opened and Carissa peeked out.
"Oh…hey you guys. Brianna will be here in a sec." she muttered, just as the said girl came out of her room.
The twins noticed how tired they both looked, but Brianna was the worst off, you could literally feel how tired she was.
"You ready?" Kaoru asked, smiling nervously.
Brianna just nodded, walking out the door towards the car. The twins turned towards Carissa to say good-bye, but she had slammed the door shut and quickly locked it.
Shrugging, they went into the limo and started the quiet drive back home.
.
The twins had expected Brianna to gasp when she had seen their mansion. However, all she did was stare at it, an indifferent expression on her face.
Truth be told, it was not her first time seeing a mansion. Though of course, she'd never divulge this to the twins.
"Err…well…let's get going…" Kaoru said, scratching the back of his.
An awkward silence had surrounded the three ever since they got into the car and it didn't show any signs of letting up anytime soon.
As they walked up the steps, a maid opened the doors and led them to where the twin's grandmother and mother were.
"Oh so this is the girl." Kazuha said as she saw the three teens walk in.
Brianna bowed politely.
"It's very nice to meet you Mrs. Hitachiin and Mrs. Hitachiin." She said, straightening up.
"Oh please, call me mom!" Yuzuha replied with an airy laugh.
Brianna blinked and stared at the woman with uncertainty.
"Mom!" the twin's exclaimed, blushing.
Yuzuha laughed and relented, amending her statement.
"Fine, fine, call me Yuzuha." The twin's sighed.
"Yes, and you can call me Kazuha." Their grandmother stated.
"Ok…Yuzuha…Kazuha…"
"Now that that's settled, let's get started! You two boys stay here, we'll be right back." Yuzuha cheered, grabbing Brianna and towing her away passed a pair of curtains, Kazuha following behind her.
The twin's looked at each other and shrugged, staying put as they were told.
They only had to wait five minutes before their mother and grandmother came back, smiling deviously.
"May I present…Brianna! Wearing a dress from my upcoming line!" Yuzuha announced, and Kazuha quickly drew the curtain back.
The twins jaw dropped at the sight of her.
Brianna stood awkwardly, fiddling with her dress.
It was a cherry red sleeveless, spaghetti strap summer dress that ended at mid-thigh and hugged her body.
Though it wasn't the first time she was dressed in such a way, having the twins gawk at her made her feel strangely self-conscious.
"What?!" she snapped/demanded, feeling her face heat up.
The twins snapped out of their stupor, blushing as they looked at their feet.
The two women Hitachiin women smiled cheekily at each other.
"Well Hikaru, Kaoru?" their mother prodded, smiling innocently at them when they glanced at her with a confused expression.
"When a lady gets dressed up, you're supposed to compliment her." Kazuha said off-handedly.
Surprisingly, it was Hikaru who spoke first.
"Y-you look nice, Brianna." He mumbled.
"Y-yeah…" Kaoru mumbled his agreement.
"Thanks…" said girl replied, shuffling awkwardly.
The two older women smiled at each other. They were really beginning to enjoy themselves.
"Oh yes!" Yuzuha clapped her hands together, bringing every ones attention to herself. "You haven't met our husbands!"
"You mean the two men who've been standing in the corner ever since we've gotten here?" Brianna asked, glancing over to the two men in the corner.
Everyone looked at her in surprise, especially the two men. Normally they weren't noticed but Brianna had noticed them immediately.
Yuzuha nodded dumbly, quickly introducing her husband and father.
"Nice to meet you." Brianna said, bowing.
"A pleasure," both men said.
With the introductions out of the way, the two Hitachiin women went back to dressing Brianna up.
Five Hours Later…
After five hours of playing dress up, Brianna was finally allowed a break.
She sat out on the terrace in a cream wool dress and beige suede heels. She talked with the two Hitachiin women, smiling lightly at their antics. She could see where the twins got their attitude and personality from.
As the two women asked her about herself, some of the questions she deftly avoided, a servant came rushing up towards them.
"Excuse me, I'm very sorry to interrupt but some of your executives would like to speak to you." He told the two Hitachiin women.
They frowned but nodded, getting up and leaving with the servant, promising to be right back.
Once they were gone, Brianna faced the strangely quiet twins.
"I see where you guys get your personality from." she stated.
The twins shrugged, not looking from their drink.
Brianna looked at them strangely but decided not to pressure them into speaking.
"…I'm glad…" Kaoru mumbled.
Brianna and Hikaru glanced at him quizzically.
"I'm glad you're alright." Kaoru said, looking Brianna right in the eyes.
"Yeah…we were…we were really worried, you know?" Brianna glanced over at Hikaru who also stared her in the eyes.
Brianna sighed, looking down at her juice before looking back up at them.
"I'm never going to be completely 'ok', Hikaru, Kaoru." The twins opened their mouth to say something, but Brianna cut them off. "But I do feel better, thank you, Hikaru, Kaoru." She got up and kissed them on the cheek.
Both boys spluttered and blushed a bright red, touching the spot that she kissed. Brianna shrugged.
"Carissa said that you guys would like that as a 'thank you' or something like that." The two teens blushed harder, letting their heads drop.
Brianna just shrugged off their weird reaction.
"Oh guys~ we're back~" Yuzuha called as she and Kazuha came back.
Brianna waved at them while the twins tried to conceal their red cheeks but to no avail because once the two women were close, they noticed their red cheeks. They raised their brows but decided to not ask because they knew they wouldn't get an answer anyways.
"I think it's about time I go home…" Brianna said, rising from her seat. "It's getting late."
"Aw…I understand. The boys will lead you out." Yuzuha said, pouting a bit.
"OK, but first shouldn't I change—"
"No, you can keep the clothes; all of the ones you've tried on today are yours." Yuzuha said, cutting her off.
"But—"
"Think of it as a gift. We won't take no for an answer." Kazuha interjected.
Brianna nodded mutely.
After she had collected the clothes, and shoes, she had tried on; the twins let her out after saying good-bye to the two Hitachiin women and their husbands.
Brianna put the stuff in the trunk of the limo with the driver and the twins help. After making sure she had everything, she turned towards the twins and abruptly hugged them, causing them to blush once more.
"Wha-what are you—?!"
"Thank you." Brianna murmured.
The two boys glanced at her in shock, but then wrapped their arms around her. They stayed like that for a while until Brianna pulled away from them.
"Well, I guess I'll see you guys Monday." She waved good bye, got in the car and was driven off.
The twins just stared after her until the car was completely out of sight.
.
That night, the twins went to separate beds, having too much on their mind to think about.
They both thought about their time with the Hispanic girl, from the first time they met till now. As they mulled over their time with her, sudden questions came to mind.
Why did they get upset when she spent her time with other guys? Why did they not like to see her hurt? Why did it hurt to be away from her? But most importantly…
Why did she affect them so much?
And then it hit them like a ton of bricks.
No matter how much they wanted to deny it, it was blatantly obvious.
'I…I like Brianna!' they both thought, furious blushes taking over their faces as they suddenly came to the realization of their feelings.
.
"Why where you so interested in having that girl come over, mother?" Yuzuha asked her mother, an understanding smile on her face.
"For the same reasons why you wanted to meet her." Kazuha said, looking down at the picture.
"This is the first time those two have ever taken such a strong liking to anyone." Yuzuha said, also looking at the picture.
"She must be really something to have caught their attention like this…" Kazuha muttered.
"Ah…it's a shame though. There's two of them and only one of her. I just hope she isn't the reason they have a falling-out."
"That's true…if she does end up picking one twin over the other, the one who she didn't choose will be hurt."
"But still…just thinking about this makes me excited. They'll have grandchildren! Oh, but, I wouldn't want to be called grandmother!"
"Hmm…if that's the case I would be called great-grandmother? I like the sound of that." The two women laughed as they thought about the future.
