Kaoru's View

I punched the wall beside me, shocking the doctor so much he jumped. I breathed out heavily. I was pissed. The great urge to go find Hikaru and teach him a lesson was almost too much. I was shocked to hear that they were against us, I had to admit it. Still, I did expect this out of Hikaru, but...

Honey-senpai. 

How could he want to put his own sister into custody? Over the past few years he was mourning over the fact he had lost his sister for some unknown reason, and when she does happen to come back after years of him wishing for her to be by his side. He just tosses her aside. He turns his back on his own blood. After all that she's done for him! I pushed past the doctor and rushed to Tomoyo's side, looking down at her peaceful expression on her face with a large frown on my lips. 

"Tomoyo, I'm so sorry. You did all that you could to ignore the weight being tossed onto your shoulders every day..." I whispered, grabbing a hold of her hand. I squeezed her hand, "I should have noticed your pain earlier, I should have been there for you. I shouldn't have ever doubted you..."

I clenched my teeth together and hung my head, tears pricking the corner of my eyes. 

"I love you."

I leaned down and pressed my lips onto hers. I stayed like that for a few seconds before pulling away. That was when I noticed a tear rolling down the side of her face. It wasn't her tear, it was a tear I shed. I smiled lightly at the fact it looked like she was crying because of my speech, a speech she most likely didn't hear a word of. I chuckled and wiped the tear away with my finger.

"Don't cry, Tomo... You don't need to anymore. I'm here to bare all the pain and sorrow you have built up inside of you. Let it out for me, throw your anger at me physically. I'll take it." I muttered with a small smile on my lips. 

I waited expectantly for an answer, but then I remembered she was still in recovery from the incident. I sighed and backed away from Tomoyo. I was getting to hopeful. Who knew when she was going to wake up. She did jump off from bridge and hit the water rather harshly, while almost drowning to death. I wouldn't expect her to be up too soon. 

"Now then," I muttered to myself, looking out the window. The wind blew and caused my hair to sway to the side. 

"It's time for me to have a talk with my lovely twin."

~*~

I stood in front of the infamous school that both Tomoyo and I are currently in along with the rest of the members of the Host Club: Ouran High School. I called my brother as I was leaving the hospital and he wanted me to come here alone. It's not like Tomoyo would want to see them after they practically shunned her to death, or her unexpected attempt at death. I have no idea why he wanted to meet here of all other places in the world. Why couldn't we just talk to each other at our own house? I listened to him even though I really wanted to refuse and offer a different place to talk at.

I walked through the schools gates and headed straight towards the door. I narrowed my eyes at the eerie silence that enveloped the school grounds. It was too quiet for my liking. I pushed the door open and walked to the club room. I made it in a matter of minutes.

"Well isn't this exciting..." I mumbled, staring at the clubs door. I was going back and forth between leaving or talking to Hikaru. "Might as well talk to him otherwise I won't hear the end of it at home." 

I pushed the doors open and met my twin brothers cold eyes.

"Hikaru," I sneered.

"Kaoru," He spat back.

I walked over to him and sighed once more. He wasn't talking and neither was I. 

"Well are we going to talk or not?" I asked him, an eyebrow raised.

He nodded and motioned me over to a table with tow chairs facing each other. I nodded and walked over to the table, taking a seat in the closest chair to me. Hikaru sat across from me and rested his chin on the palm of his hand. 

"So Kaoru, we have some interesting things to talk about today, now don't we?" He mused, keeping a stoic expression.

I nodded, "Yes we do." I replied.

"From your tone when you spoke to me upon entering, I'm assuming that the doctor watching over her told you what Honey-senpai and I planned to do, correct?" He asked me.

I scoffed, "Of course he did. He wouldn't have been able to keep it a secret anyways, he would have just put himself in a much worse position than the one he's already in at the moment." I explained. However, I was slowly losing my patience with Hikaru.

Hikaru smirked at me, "Go ahead, Kaoru. Let it out, I know you want to." He teased.

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down, "Fine, if that's what you want." I muttered. Hikaru seemed to calm down a tad bit, he leaned forward as if he were expecting me to talk to him. I grimaced internally. "Hikaru..."

"Hm, what is it Kaor---?"

I cut him off by throwing my body over the table and wrapping my fingers around his neck. Hikaru sputtered and coughed as I yelled a numerous amount of insults at him, swearing that he would pay for all the things he has done to Tomoyo emotionally. It was all his fault, he was the reason everyone was suddenly turning their backs against Tomoyo. I just knew it. Tamaki, Mori, Ko, Miku, Kyoya, Honey...they all have to had been manipulated in someway! Why would they turn their backs against Tomoyo so easily, there's no reason for them to hate her. 

Hikaru's fingers gripped my wrists tightly as he tried to break my strong grip on his neck.

"Why don't you just give up already?! You're not going not get anywhere by turning everyone against Tomoyo! You know all too well yourself that what Tomoyo committed wasn't murder, but a obvious case of self defense!" I yelled at him, tightening my grip a bit more. He glared up at me as I continued, "You even helped me come up with plans to help save her from that bastard Dai!"

My grip on him loosened at the image of Tomoyo all helpless and broken when she protected herself from Dai, the day he died. I let out a small whimper and my lip trembled. I let go of Hikaru's throat and I punched him across the face, causing him to land on the ground. The chairs screeched and fell over as I pushed my way towards Hikaru who was currently cradling his bruised face. I kicked him down, he grunted out in pain. I straddled him and glared at him hatefully. 

"K-Kaoru, stop. You don't know what you're doing." Hikaru said.

I chuckled grimly, "No Hikaru... You don't know what you're doing. I know exactly what I'm doing... I'm doing my absolute best to stay by my girlfriends side as she slowly crumbles in my hands. I can't do anything but watch her break slowly all because of how you chose to neglect her along with the others. You of all people should understand how it feels to be ignored and treated like trash..." I stated, my voice beginning to fail on me. "A-As kids we were both m-misunderstood, n-no one ever completely understood us. B-But now that we're in the Host C-Club, we have people who do..."

Hikaru stared at me, his eyes holding sadness and possibly a small pinch of regret. A small sob pushed past my lips as tears clouded my vision.

"For Tomoyo, i-it's the same thing... Sh-She's in t-the same position as we w-were a f-few years ago. She's just t-trying to be un-understood, but all y-you're doing, we're doing, is n-neglecting her and m-making th-things worse! Why can't you understand that she was waiting for us with open arms to help fix her broken heart, huh?! All she wants is for someone, anyone to show her that they acknowledge her and actually care for what she has to say!" I yelled, tears now streaming down my cheeks. "Tomoyo's losing it all...p-piece by piece, day by day. Her world is crumbling apart in front of her very eyes. 

I hung my head, my bangs covering my eyes.

"Kaoru, I didn't know you felt that way. I'm sorry." Hikaru breathed out. 

My eyes flashed darkly as I raised my head to glare at him, "There you go again, always worrying about me but not others who play a major part in your life. You're very selfish, Hikaru. You can't even acknowledge the fact that one of the only people who didn't judge you at first sight is breaking right in front of your very eyes due to your own actions. You disgust me." I spat in disgust.

I got off of Hikaru and walked towards the door to leave. I didn't want to stay here any longer with him. If I did, I would most likely harm him more than I want to. 

"Kaoru, wait!"

I stopped and looked over my shoulder at Hikaru who was kneeling on the ground with his hand in the air. I stayed silent, waiting for him to speak. 

"I-I'm sorry..."

I shook my head and brushed past the door. I looked over my shoulder at Hikaru one last time.

"Hikaru...from this moment on, if I see you anywhere near Tomoyo I will not hesitate to harm you at all. Heed my warning, and while you're at it..." I said, letting out a throaty chuckle.

"Think about how you're going to handle life without me."

I could hear him gasp.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

There was a slight breeze in the room.

"Exactly what I said... From here on out, we're not brothers. Just two strangers."

"Two strangers with no recollection of each other whatsoever."
