Visiting Kairi

Hikaru's P.O.V.

Kairi hasn't been to school in three days. I'm worried. She won't answer my calls. I was sitting in a chair staring at the floor.

"Hikaru?" it was Kauru.

"Yes, Kauru?" I asked. he sat next to me.

"If you're in love with this girl, why don't you go see her?" he asked. I stared at him shocked.

"You think I don't see the way you look at her?" he asked me. I sighed.

"What if..... All the hosts go with you?" Kauru asked. I nodded.

"That'd be great. Thank you." I said. He smiled and stood up. I stood up with him.

"Let's go." He said and I walked with him to the rest of the hosts.

When we got to Kairi's house I knocked on the door. Her father answered. He smiled at me.

"Are you here to see Kairi?" he asked.

"Yes sir." I said. He let us all in but pulled me back to say something.

"You care a lot about my daughter. Don't you." It wasn't really a question.

"Yes sir. I do." I said. He nodded.

"I can tell. She can't. Yet. I know she'll know how you feel eventually." He said and offered me a small smile. I smiled back.

"She's in the other room." He said and went upstairs.

I walked into the room and everyone was talking and laughing. Kairi looked over at me and smiled. It was nice seeing her smile again.

She got up and walked over to me. She hugged me. I was surprised be her actions at first but then I hugged her back.

"I'm glad you came." She said.

"Of course I did. I wanted to make sure you were okay." I said down to her. "We all did."

She turned and smiled at all of us. She sat back down and I sat next to her. We all talked and laughed for a few hours. She wast sad anymore.

"Maybe it's time you all went home." Her father said standing in front of us.

"She needs her rest so she can go back to school tomorrow." He said.

Thank god. She's coming back.

"Okay. Thank you all for coming." She said and smiled at us all.

We all got up and started leaving. She hugged us all as we left. I got into my limo with Kauru.

"This helped me a lot Kauru. Thank you." I said as we pulled away.

"You know I would do anything to help you. I'm glad you're happy." He said to me.

"Thank you Kauru." I said and smiled at him.

"I'm glad you found someone to love, Hikaru." He said.

"Me too." I said. "Is the way I look at her really how you could tell?"

"Yes. And Haruhi told me." He smirked.

"What?" I said shocked. "I told her not to tell anyone."

"She wasn't going to. I took her phone and read your messages. I asked her about it and she explained everything." He said. I laughed.

"Wow, Kauru. Just. Wow." I laughed.
