"How are you guys?" Haruhi asked Hikaru when he called to check in. It had been a month since the twins had departed and the hosts missed them terribly.

"We're fine, Kaoru really likes helping out. How're things with you?"

"Everything's pretty good. The doctor said Kyami's doing really good and kyoya-senpai got that paint we talked about for the nursery. I can't thank you two enough for helping design it, it's going to be beautiful."

"Yeah, about that, we're going to have to delay the project a little." He said apologetically.

"what do you mean, is something wrong?" There was a moment of hesitation.

"Kaoru's found something he likes doing and Mother wants us to stay a little while longer. He's doing really good and he's also...made a new friend."

"That's great, but judging by the change of tone in your voice, you don't care for this friend."

"She's nice and all, caring and really a good person as far as I can see." He replied.

"But?"

"But she's always there and when she's not, they're both out somewhere."

"he just left you?" Haruhi asked in surprise.

"No. She's the daughter of one of the models from the show, she offered to bring a friend,but Kaoru deserves this." Hikaru replied.

"So he likes her?" Haruhi smiled.

"I think he does. He's been friends with her for two weeks and she's figured out our game. She chose right the first time too. She said it's his eyes. She's right you know, they are different in a way."

"he's not with you now?"

"No. I miss him...a lot."

"I'm sorry Hikaru, but you're being a really great brother to let him do this, I know you're hurting ."

"It hurts almost too much, he doesn't seem to be upset about leaving me though and he comes back smiling so I can't exactly say anything about it."

I'm sure it bothers him in some way, he's just not showing it." Haruhi heard a voice in the background call for Hikaru and knew he had to go.

"Sorry Haruhi, I have to take care of something. We'll talk again soon, I'll make sure Kaoru's around or I'll have him call you when they get back." After saying goodbye, Haruhi shook her head.."

What is it?" Tamaki asked worriedly.

"Kaoru, Hikaru thinks he's found someone. She can tell which one is which too."

"That's great." Tamaki's words didn't match the look in his eyes as silence filled the room.

"Hey Senpai?" Haruhi said at last, Tamaki turned to her.

"You think he'll come back don't you?" Tamaki quickly put on a reassuring smile.

"Of course he will." He answered.

Haruhi could only hope he was right.
