Hey everyone! I'm SOOO sorry about the lack of the update in chapter. My internet died and I just got it back now. And then for the last month or so wouldn't allow me to login. -- bah! So I am sorry for the delay! But I am back now to bring you the last chapter of this story! Hopefully, I haven't lost my muse Enjoy and review!

Kaoru hadn't gotten far. It had begun to rain outside and he stood in the middle of the sidewalk, hands clenched tightly. Tamaki stopped, Haruhi running into him.

"Kaoru!" she said, walking around Tamaki and tried to place a hand on the twins shoulder, but he pulled back.

"I can't do it. I can't hurt them, because that wouldn't make me any better then them. Its our own fault that those boys came after us and to fight them again would just cause an endless cycle of violence." Haruhi and Tamaki listened to him, the rain coming down even harder. "I'm just so scared when he's not beside me to tell me its all right. Or what we should do in situations like this. I don't even have the courage to go and see those boys by myself. How pathetic is that?" He wipped at his eyes, turning away.

"Kaoru," Haruhi said, once again attempting to put her hand on his shoulder. "The police will handle everything from here. And I'm sure that Hikaru wouldn't want you running off to get in trouble because of him. Right?"

Tamaki heard the others coming and looked to them. They all stopped in the hallway of the entrance, not coming outside. Kaoru didn't need to be bombarded.

"You're right," Kaoru said after a moment. He turned around, hugging Haruhi. She was surprised by the action briefly, before returning it.

"Besides, if you run off now, you won't be able to tell him good morning." Kyouya had come outside, sporting an umbrella. Like he was going to get wet. "One of the nurses informed me that Hikaru has woken up."

Kaoru immediately let go of Haruhi, staring at them all for a moment. He was awake, which meant he was going to be all right. He ran past them all and back inside, heading back to the room.

Kyouya walked over to the two still standing in the rain, holding the umbrella out more for them to stand under. "Perhaps, we should get inside as well, before you two catch a cold? I'm sure the last thing you'd want is a hospital bill added to your debt, right Haruhi?" He smiled at her, but she didn't return it. She contemplated suffering at home over telling them she had the sniffles. But of course of she did miss school, they'd come find her. A never ending circle really.

"Right..let's head in and check on Kaoru." Just then, a large black car pulled up in the street.

Kaoru ran through the hospital back to his brother's room. He was soaking wet, sliding into the room His heart was pounding in his chest, eyes stinging with new tears, not of sorrow but relief. Hikaru was sitting up in the bed, looking out the window of the room very solem. His attention was drawn away by the sound of his brothers shoes squeaking against the floor.

"You look awful," Hikaru smiled at Kaoru. "Did you go swimming while I was-" He couldn't finish his sentence. Kaoru threw himself onto his brother, wrapping his arms around him. He was careful of the other's head wound, burrying his head in his twins neck. Hikaru blinked a few times and his confusion melted into a sweet loving smile. "You worry way to much. I'm made of pretty strong stuff you know."

Kaoru nodded, but he couldn't look at him. He was just so happy his brother was awake, scared (foolishly) that he wouldn't wake up ever again. Hikaru held his shaking brother.

"Hey..you didn't think I would leave you that easily, did you? What do you take me for?" Kaoru sat up, wipping his eyes. He leaned in and kissed Hikaru, which the other returned just as passionately. "Its just a bad bump on the head," he said pulling away. "Which means I'm going to need someone to wait on me hand and foot until this headache goes away."

Kaoru smiled. "I'd do that anyways.." he whispered. Grabbing the blanket at the end of the bed, he wrapped it around himself and laid next to him, cuddled close.

"You're all wet," the other teased, moving even closer to him, "you'll catch a cold if you stay like that."

"Then you'll get to take care of me."

The door to the room opened and Kaoru sat up quickly, unsure who would be coming from behind it. Both boys relaxed quickly, seeing their mother standing there.

"Mum," they echoed each other, as she walked in, closing the door behind her. "We thought you were in New York.."

"Your father is still there, I was coming back this way for an inerview when I got the news. Oh my darling," she said, sitting on the edge of the bed and pet Hikaru's face. "Both my boys, are you all right? The police informed me that they caught the little bastards that did this to you. Of course we'll be pressing charges."

The two looked at each other and then back to their mother. "You don't have to."

"What? What do you mean we don't have to." It took them a while to explain the whole story and how they were to blame for this whole fight starting to begin with. They also kept in mind that the minutes those boys stepped foot on the school grounds, the girls would probably murder them for touching a member of the Host Club.

"If you're sure," she said not sounding so herself. "I already spoke with the nurses on the floor and Kaoru can stay the night. I'll be in town till you get out of the hospital tomorrow morning. They want to keep you, just to be safe. I'll go make a phone call for one of the servents to bring you some dry clothes, ok?" She kissed both of them on the cheek and made her way out of the room. "And Kaoru, I'm sure your brother is in no mood for anything rough, so behave, both of you." Mrs. Hitachin smiled at both her boys, as she made her way out into the hall to make a phone call.

"Did you hear that, nothing to rough."

"Then its nothing at all." Kaoru teased, making Hikaru pout. "I'm just happy, you're going to be all right." He leaned in kissing his brother again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a few days later, before the twins returned to school. Of course, they were bombarded by screaming girls in tears, worried sick about their favorite Host Club boys. Hikaru still had a bandage on his head to cover where the stitches were and they played it for all it was worth.

"Does it hurt?"

"Are you in constant pain?"

"Those boys only got suspended! They should have been locked up forever!"

"Ladies, I'm fine, I promise. It hurt more staying away for so long.." he said his voice drifting and he leaned into Kaoru.

"Hikaru! What's wrong?" he asked, wrapping his arms around his brother. The girls almost fell off their seats, watching the scene unfold.

"I just became so light headed. I'm nothing but a weakling now to you."

"Don't say such things Hikaru! You're the strongest person I know.." Kaoru let his fingers brush across Hikaru's cheek, which got a smile out of him. The girls exploded in screams, talking amongst themselves at the beautiful display. Kaoru leaned down while they were distracted and kissed the top of his head. "You can prove how strong you are tonight you little actor." Hikaru smiled back at him.

Haruhi glanced over at the show, while her own girls gawked at the beauty that was the twins. She couldn't help but smile a little herself. Those two must have been even closer then they let on to the girls, but that wasn't for her to point out. Tamaki walked up behind her, hand on her shoulder. "Still feeling guilty?"

She shook her head. "Wasn't anyones fault. Just glad he's all right." Tamaki nodded and watched the twins appear to be acting out a dramatic death scene of some sort to which the girls were sobbing over in glee.

"Yes. It seems they'll be just fine."
