Hello, readers! I know it hasn't actually been that long since I finished the first season, but here's your second season! I hope you enjoy it, guys!

Holidays abroad part 1

Hikaru sighed as he rested back against the soft leather seats. "Why did we have to travel like commoners again?"

"Because I don't want to look rich like you two," Katie explained. "Plus, it's fun."

"Yeah, walking out of an airport carrying your own luggage straight into the rain is fun," Kaoru muttered. He shook his hair out. "I'm cold and wet now. Thank you very much, Katie."

"No problem." She was about to wring her hair out when she noticed Hikaru glaring at her. "What?"

"Don't wring your hair out. You'll get the water all on the carpet," he pointed out.

"So you want me to open the window and do it there instead?" she asked.

"No!" The boys stopped her before her hand could touch the handle. "It's raining! You'll get us all wet."

Katie smirked. "Okay!" She reached for the handle again.

"NO!"

Katie laughed as she opened the window and let rain fall into the limousine. "Yay!"

The twins glared at her as rain came in and soaked them again. "And we were just getting dry…" They huffed. "Baka."

"Come on – cheer up! It's only rain!"

Kaoru stopped pouting as much, but Hikaru just continued to pout.

"I don't want to get wet again, though," he whined.

Katie rolled her eyes at him. "Baby."

"Shut up."

Kaoru sighed. His brother could be so immature… "So, who are we going to see first?" he asked.

Katie shrugged before getting out her phone – her new HTC Sensation – and checking her texts. "We're all going out on Wednesday, so we have a whole day to ourselves tomorrow." She looked over at the boys. "What do you guys want to do?"

"Sleep," Hikaru stated with a yawn.

Kaoru snorted. "You've been doing that for weeks."

"So? I have jet lag!" He yawned. "I'll need to sleep for a whole day to catch up."

"No you don't."

"Why can't you just let me sleep?"

"Why don't we let Katie take us on a walk around the town?" Kaoru suggested.

"Kao…"

"I'll do that." Katie smiled. "Don't you want to go on a walk with me, Hikaru?"

Hikaru's face tinted a light pink. "It's not that." He lounged back in the chair and lay sprawled across half the seat. "I just don't want to walk. I can't be asked to. It's effort."

"Alright. I'll go with Kao, then," Katie answered. "We'll go to the town, walk around the shops a bit, and then buy some sandwiches and go to the town park. Does that sound good?"

Kaoru smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it'll be fun. Just me, and you, and the park. On our own little picnic…" He spared a glance at his brother.

Hikaru glared at Kaoru. You will pay dearly for this…

Kaoru smiled. "Unless you want to go?" he asked. Oooh, bite me, Hika.

Hikaru glared even more at Kaoru. Kaoru, you know I have a crush on her…

"Is that a no?" Kaoru asked. Take the opportunity. "If you want, you can go with just her?"

"I'll go," Hikaru sighed. "But you come along too." I… I don't think I can be alone with her, Kao…

"Fine. We'll both go," Kaoru said. "Is that alright, Katie?"

Katie nodded slowly, staring at Hikaru slightly. "Yeah… that's fine…" She frowned. "What made you change your mind?"

Hikaru blushed slightly. "Nothing. Honest."

"Oh, alright." She smiled at him. "I glad you changed your mind! It's going to be fun!"

"Yay…" Hikaru closed his eyes. "Now can you guys leave me to sleep?"

"Are you really that tired?" Kaoru asked. "Or is it from what happened all those weeks ago?"

"I want to sleep, and get away from you." He opened one eye. "Katie, shut that window."

Katie snorted. "Lol, no."

Hikaru glared at her. "Katie… come on…"

"Fine." She sighed and shut the window. "Moody."

Hikaru huffed. "I'm sleepy."

"Can't you wait until we get back to that mansion to sleep?" Kaoru asked exasperatedly.

"No."

Kaoru glared at his brother. "Seriously? What's up with you? You're so moody?"

"It's just the jet lag." Hikaru closed both his eyes again. "Leave me alone."

Kaoru sighed. "Why do you always have to be like this?"

"Yeah, Hika," Katie agreed. "You're so freaking moody. It's annoying."

Hikaru pouted. "Yeah, well I'm not in the mood to do anything."

"Then sleep, baby Hika." Katie mock-pouted at him. "Does Hika want his wittle bottle too?"

Hikaru glared at her. "Oh for goodness sake…"

Kaoru laughed. "Thank you, Katie…"

Katie sighed as she walked into the mansion. "Why do you two get to live in such huge, elegant places?"

"Because we're rich." The twins carried their luggage up the stairs. "You coming?"

Katie sighed and picked up her luggage. "Sure, in a minute." She paused when she saw a picture hanging by the end of the staircase, and put down her luggage before walking over to get a better look at it.

There were four people in the photo – two boys, who looked identical to each other, a man and a woman. The two boys and the woman all had red hair, but the man had dark hair. The two boys also seemed to bear a lot of resemblance to the woman, from their hair down to their grins.

Katie smiled. It was Hikaru, Kaoru and their parents on a holiday. She looked at the background and smiled when she realized that it was actually the front of this mansion. The day seemed to be a good one, if the blue sky and bright sun shining on the green lawn were anything to go by. She reached out to touch the picture. Hika and Kao looked so young… they must've been around six…

"That was one of the few holidays we went on with our parents."

Katie looked up to see Hikaru walking down the stairs with his hands in his pockets. He smiled at her.

"Interested in our family photos?"

Katie turned back to the picture. "One of the few?"

Hikaru sighed. "Our mom and dad never really took us on holidays as they were usually working. Whenever they took us on holidays, they'd usually either bring us here, or take us to our holiday home in Los Angeles."

She smiled. "That's nice."

Hikaru smiled. "Whenever we came here, our parents used to take us on walks and picnics…"

Katie gave him another smile. "So that's why you didn't want to go out with us?"

Hikaru laughed nervously. "It's childish, isn't it?"

"No. I get it. You want to preserve those memories." She shrugged. "I don't mind."

"Really?" Hikaru asked. "I mean, if you still want to go out…"

Katie sighed. There was no winning with this guy… "Look, do you or do you not want to go on a walk tomorrow?"

"Not."

"Then don't come." She picked up her luggage. "Stay and sleep. We'll need you rested for Wednesday."

Hikaru pouted. "But… but I want to stay with you… and Kao…"

"Hikaru, please make up your mind."

He sighed and picked up the rest of her luggage. "I can't… fine. I'll go with you."

Katie smiled. "I'm holding you to that."

"Yeah, but can I sleep until midday tomorrow first? Then we can go out?"

Katie smirked. "I wasn't planning on waking up early anyway. Jet lag, remember?" She headed up the stairs. "Come on, Hika. You still have to show me to my room."

"Sure!" He followed her upstairs. "But you have to let me lead if you want to find your room!"

"Fine! Hurry up!" She smiled at him. "I want to get my stuff ready before tomorrow, thank you very much!"

"Hey, you awake?"

Hikaru groaned and opened one eye. "What?" he demanded.

Kaoru smiled. "Hika, it's 11 a.m. You need to wake up."

Hikaru groaned and shut his eyes before rolling over again. "Katie said I could sleep until 12. I will sleep until 12."

"Katie's making bacon. She kicked the chefs out of the kitchen to cook for us."

Hikaru huffed. "I want to sleep, though. Why can't you let me sleep?"

Kaoru sighed. "Because breakfast is getting cold. Come on."

Hikaru pouted. "But I want to sleep…"

"Get up!" Kaoru dragged the covers off Hikaru, exposing the bare chest and pyjama bottoms underneath.

"Hey!" Hikaru sat up, shivering. "I'm cold! Kao!"

"Breakfast. Now. Hika."

Hikaru pouted before grabbing another blanket and snuggling under that. "I want to sleep."

Kaoru sighed before grinning and grabbing the end of the blanket. "Hika, time to wake up…"

Hikaru gripped the blanket tightly. "No! No!"

Kaoru laughed and started pulling the blanket, ending up with pulling Hikaru off the bed as well. "Oh, come on!"

"No! No! No!" he laughed as he was dragged along the floor. "Kao! No!"

"Yes! Come on! It's time for you to eat!"

"No Kao! No!" Hikaru attempted to grip onto the bedpost, but the metal slipped out of his fingers. "No! Kao!"

Kaoru laughed and started to drag Hikaru out of his room. "Katie! I've woken Hikaru up! Can you heat his breakfast for him?"

"Okay!" Katie called back.

"No! No! I don't want to, Katie! Help!" he continued to laugh as Kaoru continued to pull him along the corridor. "No! Not the stairs! Kao!"

Kaoru grinned. "Why not, Hika? Are you… afraid?"

"No, Kao! My head! You'll hurt my head!" Hikaru tried to pull back, but he kept slipping against the blanket. "Kao! No!"

"Then I'll just have to carry you." Kaoru stopped pulling on the blanket and gave an evil grin.

"No… no, no, no, no, no! Kao! Don't! You know I don't really like hanging upside down!"

"I know." He grabbed Hikaru's legs and swung them over his shoulder before lifting the rest of Hikaru's body. "Have fun, Hika!"

Hikaru groaned. "Kao, you know I really don't…" He frowned before paling. "Kao… my head hurts…"

"Oh come on, Hika! It's gonna be fun! Calm down! All that scared of rollercoasters stuff has gotten to your head."

"No… Kao… I really don't like this…" He could feel his head starting to pound. No, no, no… I don't want to feel like I'm on a rollercoaster… He brought his hand up to his mouth. I think I'm gonna be sick… "Kao…"

"Hikaru, don't think you're on a rollercoaster."

"But you know I don't like hanging upside down…"

"Don't, Hika. Calm down. You're panicking. That's what makes you sick and scared."

Hikaru didn't realize he was hyperventilating until he heard Kaoru say that. He held his breath and attempted to calm down. "Okay… I'm calmer…"

Kaoru smiled. "Good, Hika. You're getting better. You know, dad used to do this all the time."

Hikaru nodded. "I know, but that was before…" he trailed off. "Kao, I'm getting dizzy. Can you put me down now?"

Kaoru nodded before dropping his brother on the floor.

Hikaru winced. "Ow! Kao!"

Kaoru just smirked. "You didn't say how I should put you down."

Hikaru sat up and rubbed his head. "That hurt…"

Katie walked out into the corridor. "Oh good, you're here." She wore a pink t-shirt, with a pair of jeans and her converse, as if she was already ready to go out. The only thing was the fact that she was wearing an apron, like she did when she was cooking.

Hikaru smiled. "Nice outfit. You going out walking in that?"

Katie glared at him. "Maybe the pigeons would want bacon instead then," she threatened.

Hikaru shut his mouth.

Kaoru sighed. They really would do well as a married couple…

"I… I think I'll have breakfast now," Hikaru muttered.

"Good. Get up. I'm not dragging you to the kitchen."

"I wish you would," Hikaru muttered lowly enough that Katie wouldn't hear.

Kaoru's eyes widened and he stared at Hikaru. He did not just… "Hika…" He should be dating her already…

Hikaru smirked at Kaoru. She didn't hear, she doesn't need to know. "What, Kao?"

Kaoru shook his head at his brother. "Never mind." He pulled Hikaru to his feet. "Go and eat."

Hikaru nodded and was about to walk off when he tripped over the blanket. He frowned and turned over. Kaoru had knotted the blankets around his feet whilst carrying him down the stairs. He glared at his brother. "Kao…"

Kaoru just laughed. "You weren't paying attention. I couldn't help it."

Hikaru glared at his brother more. "Just help me out of this."

Kaoru smiled at him. "Fine." He bent down and started untangling the blanket from around his brother's ankles.

Hikaru sighed. "Why do you do this to me, Kao?" he asked, clearly annoyed with him.

Kaoru shrugged. "It's fun, Hika. Don't tell me you wouldn't have done that too?"

"Not if I knew my brother would be scared," Hikaru pointed out as he watched Kaoru take out the last couple of knots. "You scared me when you carried me down like that, Kao."

"Because you're afraid of rollercoasters?" Kaoru asked. "Hika, you have to get over your fear."

Hikaru looked away from his brother. "Can you hurry up, Kao? I'm getting pretty hungry."

"Don't change the subject," Kaoru said sternly. "I just want to help you."

"Well, I don't want your help."

"Fine. Finish this knot on your own." Kaoru dropped the last knot and headed upstairs. "I need to change."

Hikaru just stared after his brother. "Kao! Come on!" He tried to sit up and untie the knot, but his fingers just fumbled with it. "Kao!"

"Are you alright, Hikaru?"

Hikaru looked up to see Katie walking back into the corridor. "No..."

She frowned. "Did Kaoru do that?" she asked, pointing at the knot.

Hikaru nodded. "He tied it up as he was walking down..." He tried to pull the knot apart. "I can't untie it!"

Katie sighed and knelt down beside his feet. "Okay, keep still. I think I can untie it." She reached out and started fiddling with the knot, trying to untie it.

Hikaru sat still. "Baka Kao," he muttered. "Why did he have to make the knot so tight?"

Katie shrugged. "I'm not Kaoru, am I?" She finished untying the knot. "There you go. All done."

Hikaru smiled at her. "Thank you." He slowly got up, moving his feet to untangle them.

"No problem," Katie answered as she stood back up. "Try not to let Kaoru let you get all tangled up next time."

Hikaru sighed and nodded. "I'll try..." He scratched the back of his head. "Hey, I'm a little hungry. Could I..."

"Yeah, I'll heat up your breakfast for you." She led him into the kitchen to get his breakfast ready. "Omelette and bacon with mushrooms?"

Hikaru nodded as he sat at the breakfast counter. His stomach rumbled slightly. "I guess waking up late makes you hungry..."

Katie chuckled. "It does, doesn't it?" She placed a plate with an omelette, bacon and mushrooms on it in the microwave and set it to heat for about a minute. "So, you ready to go out?"

Hikaru shrugged. "I'm not sure... I guess so."

"Come on..." She smiled at him encouragingly. "We'll just walk down the road and back. We can even take a bus to the town centre and see if we can buy anything."

Hikaru shook his head. "I don't mind just the walk, honest." He smiled at her. "I guess just hanging out with you and Kao for a day will be good enough for me."

"That's nice." She pulled his breakfast out of the microwave and grabbed a knife and fork for him before setting everything in front of him. "Here. Eat."

Hikaru grinned before digging into his food. "Mmmm," he hummed. "This is delicious!"

"Thanks!" Katie said. "I'm pretty proud of my cooking."

Hikaru laughed. "I'm glad you are. I really like it!"

"Well, I'm glad about that!"

He laughed as he took another mouthful. "And I'm glad that you're glad."

"Good."

Hikaru continued to eat in silence. He took five minutes to stuff down the rest of the food on the plate, and grinned happily when he was done. "Finished!"

Katie laughed. "Are you still hungry?" she asked.

Hikaru shook his head. "Just thirsty." He got up from the table and picked up his plate.

"I'll get you a drink," Katie said as she took Hikaru's plate from him.

"No, no, I'm fine," Hikaru tried to convince her. "I can get my own drink and put my plate in the washer."

"No, I'll do it," Katie said. "I'm ready – you need to hurry up and get dressed."

"No, no, I'll be fine!" Hikaru took his plate back and quickly put it into the dishwasher before Katie could take it back.

Katie frowned. "Hikaru, let me get your drink for you!" She reached into one of the cupboards and grabbed a glass.

"No! I'm fine!" Hikaru reached in and ended up grabbing the same glass, his hand touching hers.

Both teenagers looked at each other before Hikaru quickly let go, his cheeks dusted a light pink. "Y-you can get the drink, then. I-I'll just wait."

Katie frowned before nodding and taking the glass out. She walked over to the fridge and poured him a glass of apple juice. "You alright?"

Hikaru nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine." No, I'm not. I just touched your hand!

"You sure? You look pink." Why the heck are you blushing?

Hikaru's cheeks returned to their normal pale colour. "Really?"

Katie frowned again. "Well, not anymore." She handed Hikaru the glass. "Why did you go pink?"

He shrugged as he took the glass. "Don't know. Don't care." He took a sip of his juice.

Katie raised an eyebrow. He obviously cares… baka…

Kaoru sighed as he waited for Hikaru to get ready. "Come on, Hika!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Hikaru called out as he raced down the stairs, pulling his hoodie on at the same time. His red hair was ruffled from having to get dressed so quickly, and he was only wearing one shoe.

Kaoru shook his head. "Hikaru, are you missing something?"

Hikaru frowned and said, "I don't think so…" before looking down and groaning. "I'll be back in a minute! I forgot my shoe!" He raced back upstairs.

Katie laughed. "Hika… sometimes I wonder whether he's even thinking half the time…"

"I heard that!" Hikaru called out as he stumbled down the stairs whilst putting a shoe on. "And I do think, thank you very much!" He hopped down the rest of the way and smiled at the two who were waiting for him. "I'm ready!"

"Good!" Katie smiled back. "Do you have a coat?"

Hikaru sighed. "I'll go and get it." He trudged back up the stairs.

"You're right, Katie," Kaoru agreed. "He doesn't think."

"Hey!" Hikaru walked into his room and opened his wardrobe. He frowned as he looked through his clothes. "Hey, Kao? Where's my coat?"

Kaoru frowned. "Isn't it in your room?" he asked.

"No!" Hikaru called back. "It's not in here!"

"Have you checked under our beds?" Kaoru asked.

Hikaru sighed before shutting his wardrobe and lying flat on his belly to see under the beds. "I'm checking now!" He looked under, seeing only dust and dirt. "Hey, wait…" He reached under Kaoru's bed and pulled out the coat. "I've found it Kao! It was under your bed!"

Kaoru frowned. "Why was it under there?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Hikaru brushed the dust off his coat and held it out to look at it. "What on earth did you do to this, Kao?" It looks like it's been trampled on by elephants…

Kaoru sighed before running up the stairs to the twins' shared room. "What do you mean?" He stared at the coat. "Oh… you stuffed that under my bed when you couldn't be asked to hang it up."

Hikaru frowned. "I don't remember that…"

"You were so tired that you were literally half-asleep."

"Oh." He put the coat on. "I guess it's still alright…"

"Good. Now come on, we need to get on our walk if we want to get back on time!" Kaoru grabbed his brother's arm and started dragging him downstairs. "Katie! We're ready!"

Katie smiled. "Finally!" She pulled on her blue hoodie and grabbed her phone from the table beside the door. "I've been waiting for ages!"

Hikaru laughed. "Yeah… sorry about that."

"Don't feel sorry. Just hurry up so that we can get outside. It looks like it might rain…"

"Hikaru!"

Hikaru laughed as he ran from Katie, throwing flowers at her as he did so. "What? What did I do?"

"You know what you did! Give back my phone!"

Hikaru laughed. "No! I don't have it!"

Katie stopped. "Wait, so which one of you has it?"

Kaoru grinned. "I'm glad I keep a comb on me…" He lifted the phone for Katie to see before parting his hair quickly to look like Hikaru. "I mean, you can't even tell the difference…"

"Kaoru!" Katie whined. "Give it back!"

"Not until you give back my sandwich."

"But I don't have your sandwich! Hika ate it!" She pointed at the culprit, who sat there, still eating the sandwich he had stolen from his brother.

Hikaru grinned, the sandwich still in his mouth.

Kaoru glared at him. "That was my favourite!"

"It's my favourite too."

"I don't care that it's your favourite! I was going to eat that!"

"And I'm eating it now." Hikaru grinned. "Because I like it."

Kaoru glared at him before lunging. "Gimme that!"

"No! I'm hungry!"

"I'm hungry too!"

Katie laughed. "I don't think I've ever seen you behave like proper brothers before!"

Hikaru paused, and Kaoru took his chance to grab the sandwich out of Hikaru's hands. Hikaru pouted. "Hey!"

Kaoru took a bite out of the sandwich. "I said this was my sandwich, and I'm hungry. You stole it, I stole it back."

Hikaru glared at him. "Baka."

"You're baka for stealing it in the first place." Kaoru continued to eat the sandwich happily.

Hikaru huffed. "Fine then." He grabbed Katie's phone and tossed it back to her. "Katie gets her phone back.

Kaoru smirked. "Fine. It was your idea to steal it anyway."

Katie glared at Hikaru. "It was?"

Hikaru laughed nervously. "Uh… maybe…" He shrunk slightly at her glare. "Kaoru went along with it!"

"But you thought of it!" Kaoru pointed out. "I didn't have any say in that part!"

"You said it was a good idea!"

"I did not!"

"Lies, baka! You did too say that!"

"I'm not lying, Hika! Why would I lie?"

"So that Katie doesn't attack you." He glared at Kaoru. "And that's not fair!"

Kaoru stuck his tongue out at him. "Life's not fair, Hika."

Hikaru pouted and folded his arms. "You're being mean." He frowned when he felt a drop of water hit his head. "Hey…"

Kaoru frowned and looked up. "It seems as if our sunny day was short-lived…"

Katie nodded. "Maybe we should head back… we don't want to catch colds or anything."

The twins nodded and stood up, Kaoru still eating his sandwich, and the group headed back the way they had come. As they walked back along the field, Hikaru pulled his hood up as the rain began to fall harder. Kaoru's hood soon followed suit, and Katie left her hood down to let her hair soak in the rain. The group had just made it back to the main road when it began to pour buckets.

Hikaru sighed. "This is just getting worse…"

Kaoru looked up. "It looks like it might be a thunder storm coming up…"

The group jumped when they heard a clap of thunder from overhead.

"Looks like the storm's already here," Katie said as she started to walk faster through the rain.

Hikaru sped his pace up. "Stupid storm."

Kaoru sighed. "I wish I had an umbrella…" He quickly finished his sandwich. "But I didn't think to bring one," he added as he swallowed the sandwich.

"Neither did I," Hikaru said.

"You don't think, though," Katie muttered.

Hikaru pouted at her. "You didn't bring an umbrella either."

"Yeah, but I don't mind getting wet – I'm not wearing my hood."

Hikaru just stuck his tongue out at her.

Kaoru laughed. "You two can be so immature."

"Well, we're best friends," Katie pointed out. "What do you expect?"

Hikaru smiled. "Yeah, best friends."

Kaoru rolled his eyes. "I expect you two to act more maturely, considering you're sixteen."

"I'm seventeen in April!" Katie said happily.

Hikaru pouted. "No fair! I have to wait until June!"

Kaoru rolled his eyes. "So do I, Hika. Just learn to wait."

Hikaru pouted more. "Fine." He looked at Katie. "Will you get me a birthday present?" he asked.

"Of course!" Katie said. "Will you get me one?"

Hikaru nodded. "Yep."

The two high-fived each other as they continued to walk through the rain.

Kaoru just walked to the side and watched. I… I feel so left out with these two… He frowned. How am I going to feel if they start dating? He shook that thought out of his head as he continued to walk.

"Are you alright, Kao?" Hikaru asked.

Kaoru nodded. "I was just thinking, Hika," he said, automatically answering his next question. "Nothing to worry about."

Hikaru nodded, although he was still unsure. "Alright…"

Kaoru sighed. "I was thinking about the people we're going to meet tomorrow. I mean, if they're all like Katie's other friends, then we're going to either become close quickly or get thoroughly creeped out."

Hikaru nodded in agreement. "Hopefully we're going to become close quickly. I like making new friends."

Katie smiled. "Then you're going to make a lot of new friends, Hika."

"Really?"

Katie nodded. "Really."

So... review!
