New chapter posted. Sorry for the long wait.

Disclaimor: Ouran belongs to Hatori Bisco

All my life, I have been an only child, meaning no siblings. Sixteen years, I have lived as the rich kid of the prestigious family, Hitachiin. I had barely any friends, and its not like I want to be lonely. Its the fact that I'm being looked upon for some unknown reasons. I don't know why the other kids my age will not approach me, but I guess its just me. I guess that I have some kind of sign that says "I don't want to be friends with anyone". Its fine though. I'm used to being lonely all my life.

Now that I am sixteen, I find out that I'm no longer an only child, or so I thought. Yesterday, I met a boy, who looked identical to me, such as hair color and style, eye color, and the face. It was really surprising yet terrifying. And, since the kid is in my room, there are many things that I like to know.

Why is he on top my bed post? All I wanted to know is the tattoo that is marked on his left side of his stomach. I couldn't make out what shape it is because he leaped away just now. I sighed as I stared at him. He looked terrified like I found out something that I shouldn't have had. Well, I did, but oh well. "Hey, come down here."

Kaoru was staying where he was. He didn't want to come down. I sighed again, feeling impatient. I slowly walked towards the nearest bed post. As soon as I was in his range, he leaped to the other post. Like a cat or whatever he was, he has good grace. I sighed again and stayed where I was. If I try to get near him, he'll leap away again. I guess there's no other way to get through to him.

I sat on the bed, giving up. I closed my eyes and put my hands underneath my head as I laid down. "Well, I'll just sleep."

I can hear everything as soon as I closed my eyes. Its like my hearing has doubled. I liked that about my hearing. Slowly, I relaxed myself as I heard Kaoru putting his weight to his legs and hands. I can imagine that he's squatting again, and I"m guessing that he's looking at me curiously. He was whispering my name questioningly, "Hikaru?"

Then, I heard him leap silently down on the bed, which was moving as it moved. As soon as he's in range, I leaped out and held him tightly as I could. I caught him around the waist, and I heard him gasp in surprise. He collapsed on the bed with me on top of him. He looked surprised and terrified. "So, won't you tell me about that tattoo and about yourself as well?"

Kaoru's eyes widened, and he looked towards the side. He didn't want to speak about it. I can tell by his eyes. He's afraid to tell me about it. The silence grew, and I didn't move from where I was. I stared at him, and he continued to stare towards something else. I sighed, "No matter how long you don't speak, I won't move. I won't move until you tell me something. A little detail will suffice too. Come on, its not like I can tell anybody."

Silence, but I'm not giving up. I'm really stubborn. It shows in the family. My mother was stubborn when she's worried. She'll push. I must have taken that stubborn streak from her. If Kaoru is stubborn, then he'd be my twin brother that he claimed to be. It showed.

I loosened my hold from his waist a little, but not enough that will let him escape. I looked at his face, and his expression has taken its toll on me. He looked like he would cry. I sighed again as I released him. I sat as I looked at him. Kaoru moved to a comfortable position, and he came to a kneeling position, almost standing on his knees on the bed. He looked at me to the side and back again.

Then, he spoke, "I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if you want to hear the truth. Its...I don't know how to explain it."

I wonder what he meant by that. What's so hard to explain what you are? I guess there are reasons as to why he cannot explain things that he felt were a burden to him. I looked to see him looking to the side again, and I saw him shaking. Making another sigh, I reached out, and my hand covered his shaking one. I slowly brought his hand to my lips, and I kissed them. I felt him shiver."I understand, and I'm sorry to have hurt you like that. I shouldn't have forced you to tell me the truth. I'll wait and listen when you want me to."

He stopped shaking, and he looked surprised. I smiled encouragingly for that he could accept my words. He nodded his head, and he smiled again. That smile was very radiant, which made me want to hug him. I heard him speak, "Thank you, and I'll tell you a little."

I ears perked up. Even its a little, there's something that I can put piece by piece. But, still, this is the first time that I've met him. I brought my legs up as I let go of his hand. "Go ahead."

He nodded again. He brought his hand, and he pointed towards his ears as his other hand held his tail. "These ears and tail, they're not part of me, but I can have them appear on my head."

He explained that again when he saw the confused look I was giving him. Rather than explaining, he showed that part in front of me. His ears and tail were slowly shrinking, and then, they were no more. His cat ears were gone, and his normal human ears appeared. He looked more human. I was shocked. Continuing, "I can morph into anyone and any creature. I can't turn myself into an animated object. Any animal and human would do just fine. I can change my appearance into anyone. For example, remember Kyouya? Well, I'll show you."

Kaoru leaped off the bed, and he stood five feet away from me. Then, he took a deep breath. His hair color went from a light red to black. His eyes went from gold to black, and in front of his eyes were glasses. His height increased too. His clothes looked the same. As he explained, he can morph into a human, not an object. This is surprising, and the strange feeling that I'm having is that I like seeing something like this. I guess I'm seeing something so uncommon. Its in human nature that we all like to see something that we either fear or love. For me, its the latter.

Kaoru changed back to his regular form, and he smiled. "That's my transformation."

"That's really cool. And, what about that other guy that punched me out?" I asked. I wanted to know more. I'm really curious for my own good.

"Oh, Kyouya? He can control and manipulate fire." Kaoru explained, feeling uneasy. I wouldn't blame him. That guy was looking for him for some reason.

Speaking of which, "And another question I like to ask. That Kyouya guy, he said that he wanted to bring you back. What did he mean by that?"

The uneasiness that he felt grew on him. He sighed, and he leaned against the wall. "Well, I escaped from a place that I didn't like. I was raised there for a long time."

"Was there a reason that you escaped?" I started to feel sympathy. From what he said, it sounded like he was living in a prison than home.

"Yeah, there is." He looked towards me, and I can guess. He smiled, and simply, he said, "Its you. In that place, there is a room full of information on every person there that is special. We were all not allowed to enter that place. But, I sneaked into that room, and I looked very quickly through everyone's profile. I found a profile about myself. I looked through it, and I found something very interesting. You see, I found information about myself connecting with a family that I thought I would never have. That family is Hitachiin, and you are my older twin brother. At first, I couldn't believe it, but why would I doubt a piece of information in a file that I just found? So, I decided to find you.

"That day, at the mall, I found you. I couldn't believe how easy it was, but I was surprised. I was happy too. Remember that time I bumped into you in that music store?" He asked, smiling as he walked towards the bed, and he sat down next to me.

"Yeah, I remembered, but you could have found ways to have meet me." I would strangle him, but its not the time for it.

"I would, but that's all I can think of. So, I transformed into a patrol officer, and I fixed the problem, didn't I?" He smiled encouragingly as though convinced that his plan worked out well.

I sighed, and I nodded my head. I didn't know what else to think right now. A twin brother, Kaoru, decided to find me if I was actually real. A room in that place that he didn't like. I like to know more. I wonder if my parents knew. There's a lot to know. And, also, Kaoru's transformation, and he said that there were others who are special, and they live there too. I looked to Kaoru, who was staring at me. I decided to ask him. "Kaoru, take me there."

"Huh?" His expression changed as he blinked his eyelashes.

"I want you to take me there even if you don't want. Even though you don't like to, I'd like to go there. I want to know more about you. I think you're really special, besides the powers that you have to be able to transform. I want to know about that place and more." I explained as I stood up from the bed.

There was silence as I stared at him. Kaoru was starring back at me. He looked worried, and then, he looked to the side to avoid my gaze. I can guess that he does not want to go there at all. I wouldn't know. I don't live there, but he did. He lived there for sixteen years, I guess (if he was my twin, he would be the same age as me.).

"Looks like I will."

A voice disturbed the silence as a girl came through the wall. She stood near Kaoru. She looked from him to me. I was surprised, seeing another one here in my room. I was alarmed too. Before I could ask what is she doing here, Kaoru asked the question instead.

The girl answered, "To have you delivered back."

Kaoru was shocked from the first start when the girl arrived. She had boyishly short brown hair and large brown eyes. She was also short for her height. Kaoru leaped away from her side, and he landed next to me. I was a bit worried. Was she the same as Kyouya, who would attack a bystander like me? I have no clue, but I can't take a risk.

"Huh, twins? Kyouya-sempai told me about that. So, you did find him. I'm glad, but, Kaoru, you need to go back. There's panic back at the mansion. 'Dad' and 'mom' are worried. They asked me to bring you back." The girl walked towards us with ease. Her gaze was on Kaoru.

I looked to Kaoru, and he has a troubled expression on his face. I can see that he didn't want to go, but he wants to because of me... Silence was made.

I heard the girl sigh, and I looked at her. She gave me a puzzled look, and she blinked her big brown eyes. She leaned against the wall. "Kaoru..."

"I...I'll go. But, Hikaru wants to go too. But, I have a request." Kaoru asked, feeling unease as he directed his gaze at her.

She nodded her head, "What is it?"

"Please, don't let anyone hurt Hikaru." Kaoru answered. He felt worried. I did too. I wonder if these people would give me a greeting, or will they attack me just as Kyouya did?

"Sure, I'll tell 'mom' and 'dad' this request. And, Kaoru, you need to go back and stay there. Your punishment has been made, but that depends on our parents." The girl informed him.

"Right." Kaoru looked towards the floor. His hair hid his eyes.

"Alright, let's go. We'll meet you outside." The girl said to me.

I nodded my head, but there's something that I wanted to ask. "Hey, what's your name?"

"Haruhi Fujioka." She stated as she left through the walls.

Kaoru went towards the windows, and I followed him.

What I thought was strange was that I reached for his arm, and he gave me was a smile, but his eyes looked different. He looked scared and worried. I wonder how will this day become?
