Chapter 2

Kaoru shifted around in bed, trying to get comfortable, but his movements were interrupted when a pair of arms wrapped around him and pulled him closer to his older twin. He tried to get away, but it was no use. "Don't go. You're warm." Kaoru nuzzled his head into the pillow and sighed before falling asleep again.

His dream was pleasant: Hikaru and him being the way they were in middle school, not leaving the other's side. Their lives were perfect until that day. The day Haruhi stepped in and ruined everything, the day she got between them, and the day when she started to take Hikaru away from him, the day everything changed.

He tensed up as he remembered Haruhi's words the previous day. Those words repeated in his mind as though his brain hit the replay button. He whimpered and a few tears streamed down is face, making him let out a few sobs.

The warmth of his older half was gone and he was somehow pulled into his brother's arms once again. Hikaru shushed him and stroked his hair, reassuring him that everything would be okay. He looked up and kissed his twin as hard as he could. "Come on. Let's go."

Kaoru nodded before his eyes trailed to the shredded shirt on the floor. "That was my last one too."

"Don't worry. You can use one of mine." Hikaru slid out of bed and headed towards the closet while Kaoru pull up the blanket to cover himself. Hikaru didn't mind. He was used to his brother acting like a timid girl, and he like it. It made teasing him more fun.

After the two got dressed, they headed out the door, seeing the limo pull up to the front door. They both hopped in, and the closed the door, letting the limo drive off. "What about Haruhi?"

"What about her?" Hikaru turned to him and grabbed his chin. "I don't care what she thinks. As long as I have you, I'm not worried."

"Hika." The older twin pulled him in for a deep kiss before pulling back as they arrived at Ouran Academy. The two exited the limo and made their way to the front entrance.

The two had just entered the classroom and the first person they saw was Haruhi. Kaoru gave a glare as he and his brother sat down. During the majority of class, the younger Hitachiin avoided all eye contact with the girl, but when he shot a glance, it was always a death glare. At their lunch break, Kaoru always pulled Hikaru away from Haruhi, and they sat on the other side of the cafeteria.

When school ended, Kaoru had no choice but to walk with Haruhi to the club room. They entered the club room, and everyone stared at them. "Is something wrong?" Tamaki asked.

"No." Kaoru snapped quickly without thought. "Everything is just fine." Kyouya stopped writing in his black book and glanced at him, before the guests started to arrive.

Halfway through the club, Kaoru stood up from Hikaru's side until the older twin grabbed his arm. "I'll be back." He said with a smile. "I just have to talk to Haruhi for a minute." Hikaru nodded and let go, before continuing to talk to his clients, and Kaoru walked over to Haruhi's table. "Hey Haruhi, can we talk? Alone?"

The brunette gave him a look before excusing herself from the girls, and following Kaoru into the hall. As soon as Kaoru closed the door behind him, he pinned Haruhi to the wall. "Just how long are you planning to have Hikaru?"

"Until he's forever mine." Haruhi smirked in return before giving him a glare. "You were the one who stole him from me."

"Oh so you saw us yesterday."

"Damn right." She brushed off her blazer and glanced at him. Her eyes burned with the desire to eliminate him. She wanted Hikaru so much, she'd actually kill his own brother if he got in the way. Kaoru pulled the same knife out of his pocket and brought it to Haruhi's face. "I should kill you now and get it over with." He growled.

"Now now Kaoru." She replied with a smirk. "Remember, we have to keep up appearances." Kaoru gave a glare before lowering the knife and placing it back in his blazer. "You're dead to me."

"Same to you." She replied before they both walked back into the club room, acting like nothing had happened. The younger twin sat next to his brother, who gave him a questioning look. "It's nothing, Hikaru." He replied. "We just had a little talk."

Hikaru nodded, still unsure about what his brother and Haruhi were talking about.

Rain pelted the ground as the Hitachiins ran inside their home, trying to avoid getting wet. The two headed upstairs to the bathroom, not caring about their muddy shoes at the front door.

"Hey Kaoru, are you alright?" Hikaru asked as his brother threw his blazer and shirt on the doorknob. Kaoru turned to him with a questioning look? No, everything's fine. Why?"

"Well." Hikaru stripped off his clothes before turning on the shower. "Ever since you had that talk with Haruhi, you've been acting strange." After stripping his pants and boxers, Kaoru gently pushed him in the shower and kissed him softly, closing the door behind him with his foot. "Kao-" The younger Hitachiin kissed him again and again, before moving his lips to the sensitive spot behind his ear. He started to kiss all of Hikaru's sensitive spots, which weren't hard to find because they were the same as his. He reached a hand down to stroke Hikaru's erection, but was surprised that his member was still the same size.

He looked down and his brother wasn't turned on in the slightest. He found this strange. He hit all of Hikaru's buttons, but what was he doing wrong?

"I know you're trying to distract me, Kaoru."

His eyes widened as Hikaru said this. He looked up and his brother gave him a look. "Kaoru, tell me what's going on." Kaoru hugged his brother. "I don't want Haruhi to take you away from me. I want you to be with me forever, Hikaru."

Hikaru sighed before hugging his brother in return. "I'm not going anywhere, okay? I'll be with you until the end." Kaoru nodded, letting tears roll down his face.

A while later, the two exited the bathroom in clothes that were warm, dry, and clean. Without Hikaru watching, Kaoru picked up the knife that was in his blazer, and placed inside his hoodie before placing leather gloves on his hands. "I'm going out." He said as he headed for the door, and before Hikaru could reply, he said "I'll be back soon. Promise."

"You need a ride?" Kaoru shook his head. "I'll find my own way." He headed out the door, and out of sight.

The alleyway was empty except for the scraps of litter scattered along the walls. A small black cat hid in a box and watched Kaoru enter the alleyway, and on the other side, was a smaller figure wearing a hood over its face. "I know it's you." Kaoru called out to the figure. The figure stepped out of the shadows and Haruhi's face was shown in the light of the moon. "So you did come." She observed. "I thought you wouldn't being the wimp you are."

"I would do anything to have Hikaru." Kaoru responded, the knife sliding out of his sleeve and into his hand. "That includes eliminating the person who comes between us."

"Oh please." She scoffed. "You couldn't kill a person even if they went easy on you. You can't kill me, Kaoru. I'm too important to your brother."

"Now that is a big fat lie." Kaoru smirked. "Hikaru is mine, and there's nothing you can do about it." Haruhi clenched her fists before taking a step towards him, before charging at him, knife in hand. Before she could attack however, Kaoru grabbed her wrist, the knife inches away from his face. He chuckled with an evil look on his face. "You're such an amateur." He responded, giving the girl the most terrifying look, making her jump back. She gave him a look. She has never seen Kaoru like this. It was like he was possessed by a blood-thirsty demon.

She drove that thought out of her mind. She couldn't think about it. Not when she has to have Hikaru as her own. She charged at him again, and Kaoru was about to move out of the way when he felt something cut his arm. He looked and saw blood running down his left arm. While he was off guard, Haruhi took the advantage to stab him, but missed as she only grazed his cheek and ear. Kaoru licked the blood rolling down his face, his eyes glowing red. "You couldn't kill even if you tried." He replied before getting in her face. "There's one thing different about you and I." Just after he said this, His knife pierced her heart, and she coughed up blood. Kaoru brought his lips to her ear.

"You see, I know how to kill and not get caught."

Haruhi fell back, her sightless eyes staring at the sky. Kaoru stayed silent before laughing uncontrollably. For the first time in his life, he felt so relieved in killing someone. Finally, Haruhi was out of their lives. He had to stop laughing for a moment before taking her knife out of her hand and placed it inside his pocket, and placed the bloody knife in her hand, having it clutch the knife tightly, making it look like she committed suicide. Kaoru gave the corpse an evil smirk before exiting the alley and returning home, the cat following closely.

On the way, he pulled a small black notebook out of his pants pocket, and scribbled down Haruhi's name, making it the tenth name on that list. He placed it back in his pocket, and heard a small meow from the cat. He looked down, staring at the crimson red eyes staring up at him. He bent down and petted the cat, making it purr, and he scooped it in his arms. The cat looked back at Haruhi's corpse, and Kaoru followed its gaze. "Come on. Let's go."

He made his way home, with the cat walking beside him.
