A/N: Thank you for those of you still reading. This is kinda a filler, but hey, is really important. I love youuuu.

Kyoya's P.O.V
****************

I sigh internally when I saw Hikaru leave the club room. I stand and look over at Tamaki, who is also standing now. I nod at him and we go into the back room of the club. "This plan thing is tearing them apart more than before." I sigh, and glance out the window just in time to see a certain redhead ditching school. "At first, but we all know they feel the same! Hikaru just needs to tell Koaru." Tamaki reasons with me, "Elise promised Koaru. You know better than anyone she keeps her word. She ran around your house 7 times to prove she was sorry for breaking your glasses." I smile at that memory, we were practicing ballroom dancing together. But then she twirled and smacked my glasses across the room. "Fine. But Hikaru just left the school. We can't do Alice in Wonderland without the Cheshire cat." I grumble."Simple solution. We tell the ladies that we're postponing it for tommorow due to Hikaru going home sick." Tamaki shrugs, not realizing how much money we will lose because of this. That's it. I'm taking matters into my own hands. "Do that then. I'm going to take a trip to see Nekozawa." I walk out and head for the Black Magic Room.

"Oh! Shadow King, we didn't know you were coming today!!" The guards bowed at me as I brush past them. Then the smell of pot hits me and I realize something. If Elise is in the club... She's been smoking. I smirk and see her then, in the magic circle, puffing on a joint, her back to me. Koaru on the other hand was looking right at me, terrified. I put a finger to my mouth so he didn't tell Elise as I approach. When I stood behind her, I folded my arms and let my shadow aura come out.

" Elise... Is there something you'd like to tell me?"

She jumped a whole foot and coughed out a cloud of smoke when she saw me. I burst into laughter and take the joint from her. " Come on Elise, where do you think I got the name shadow king? Nekozawa gave it to me. How could someone, with as much responsibility and built up anger get by without something to mellow them out?" I explain and take a long drag of the joint, blowing it out a couple seconds later, without coughing. Then I lean down "I'm an honerary member of the Black Magick club. " I whisper, "I only need to show up for the rituals." She stared at me like I was a ghost, and Koaru looked terrified. "Tell me I'm dreaming." She sighed. I chuckle and kiss her head. "Koaru, come with me." I yank his ear and pull him out to the hallway. "Hey, what gives?" He rubs his ear and glares at me. "Time for a new plan." I growl.

Hikaru's P.O.V
** * * * * * * * * *

I lay on Koaru's side of the bed crying into his pillow. I didn't want this. Maybe hosting is just getting to me. One of the maids walked in, and I was caught off guard to see her without her twin. "I don't want anything. Go away." I say and turn away. "What you mean is that you don't want anything that I could get you." She said and I glare at her. "I. Said. Go. Away. " I flop back down on the bed and wait until I hear her walk away. But I don't. "Just yesterday he was doing the same thing you were. I'm not saying I approve, but clearly you both feel the same. Either you can sit here and be miserable, or confess and be incest and disgrace the family name." She sighs and then walks out. I groan. "You would know." I grouch and figure I might as well sleep since my life is pointless without Koaru around.

I wake up to the sound of the bedroom door slamming shut, and jolt up. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I can now see Koaru, looking right at me, tears in his eyes. "Ne, Koaru? What's wrong?" I lean forward and pull him into a hug. No matter how pissed I am at him, I'm still concerned with his happiness. "You are." He whispered and glared up at me. I inhale sharply as I watch him collapse in my arms. "Can you not see that you're killing me?" He sobbed, pushing me away from him, "You're killing me!!" I look down at him, now bleeding out. "Koaru, no! I-I didn't mean to..." I choke out and he smirks, sending shiver through my whole body. " I'm not Koaru. " He whispers, "You don't even know yourself anymore." His, my, breathing slows and comes to a stop.
"Hikaru? Hikaru!" I was suddenly shaken up by Koaru. I tackled myself onto him. " Woahhh, ah-okayyy. What happened to you? Did you get sick?" He puts a palm to my forehead. "The only thing I'm sick of, is seeing my brother with someone else. " I hiss. "Hika, all you-" "Shut up. You don't get it. You thinkyou've got problems, that you're the weak one of us? Well try being the most twisted. You're going to hate me. I don't really care anymore though. If you hate me, nothing else matters. I love you. When we're doing things together in the club, you're the one who's acting, and it's tearing me apart. Now tell me, brother, does it sound like I'm sick to you?" I snap and blurt out all of it, not thinking twice. "Well..." Koaru didn't look me in the eye. "If you're sick... So am I. " He smiled gently at me. I pinch myself, just to be sure I'm not dreaming. " What... Wh-what about Elise?" I look at him and he rolls his eyes, "I'll explain later." And then yanks me forward by my tie and smashes our lips together. Just like that everything fit into place.

Meanwhile at the Ootori Residence....

Elise's P.O.V
** * * * * * * * * *

" Is this Elise Kinowa?" The male voice came through the phone. "It is... Who is this?" I say sitting down on Kyoya's bed while he finishes his essay for English. "This is Officer Young from the New York City Police Department. Ma' am, I'm sorry, but early this morning your father was found dead from an appearant suicide attempt." The voice on the other end suddenly became very distant. "Some employees found him hanging over the edge of his personal balcony." Was all I heard, and then a loud scream, and just like that I passed out. Please tell me this is just a dream...
