"Ki-chan! Come on lets go climb that big one next!" Mori called to me cheerfully a small smile gracing his tan face.
"I'm coming, Mori-chan!" I called to him, jumping off of the tree and landing on my feet in the tall grass. I ran after him and laughed in the huge field that glistened like gold in the setting sun's rays. I finally caught up to him and we chased each other before tumbling in the tall grass, a gentle breeze ruffling our hair. I shifted so that we were lying next to each other and rested my head on my arms behind my head.
"Ne, Mori-chan?" I asked as I gazed up at the giant blue sky above us.
"Yes, Ki-chan?" he replied.
"Lets stay friends forever, okay?" I said smiling at him as I turned my head to look into his deep black and gray eyes. He smiled and held out a pinky. I linked mine with his and we grinned.
"Promise!" we both said together.
"Kitama-sama! Kitama-sama, where are you?" a maid's shrill voice called from the large house in the distance. I sat up and he followed suit.
"I wonder what's going on?" I wondered out loud and he nodded. We stood at ran back to the house.
"Kitama-sama, what on earth have you been doing?" an old maid scolded me as Mori and I walked inside.
"We were outside playing in the field. Forgive me," I mumbled at her as she took my hand.
"You should be! You're grandmother is here to see you and you're a mess! Go inside and greet her, quickly!" she told me as she led the way down the corridor. I looked back at Mori who was left in the open, Japanese style living room. 'I'm sorry!' I mouthed to him and he smiled back at me and gave me the thumbs up in reassurance. I smiled back and followed the maid down the hallway.
"Kitama-sama, take off you're shoes when you greet her and-. Have you been listening to what I've been tell you?" she scowled at me.
"Ah! Forgive me! Where are we going?" I asked shyly.
"You grandmother is here! She's waiting in this room," she said opening to door and bowing before moving aside so that I could enter. My back stiffened as I entered and I bowed as well before making my way to the middle of the mat and sitting before the old woman.
"Forgive me, Sezania Obasan. I didn't mean to keep you waiting, I was just playing outside and-," her palm slapped my hard across the cheek and I hit the ground, hard.
"Insolent child. How dare you even consider keeping me waiting. You're just like your mother! Disgusting!"
"F-forgive me," I mumbled as I bowed on the ground again.
"Hah! You are so arrogant! A hopeless case! You'll never make a good heir to the throne! Why my son even bothered marrying that wench of a woman and having you, I have no idea! No matter. My son, has decided that you will be the heir to your mother's throne once she has died. There will be no discussion on this matter,," the old women continued. My eyes widened in shock and fear. I didn't want to become a princess or an heir of any kind. I just wanted to stay here, in Japan with Mori. Just then there was a commotion outside the door and Mori burst through the door.
"That's not right! Ki-chan should have the right to choose whether or not she wants to be an heir or not! You don't have the right to tell her what she can or can't-."
"Takashi, it's fine. There won't be anymore discussion on the matter, alright? It's fine, really," I said and faked a smile, looking him in the eye. He stopped at three maids came through the door, apologizing profusely.
'Mori-chan, please leave while you still can. I don't want you to get hurt on my behalf,' I thought, hoping he would understand. He stood for a moment before standing up straight and apologizing.
"I'll see you later, alright? I just need to talk with my grandmother," I said as we looked at each other and he nodded before turning and leaving with the maids. As soon as the door shut, she slapped me again before speaking once more.
You are to immediately leave Japan and return to Greece with me to complete your training. Although I have deemed you unworthy of this training, my son has decided that you will be your mother's heir once she has died. We're leaving now. There's no point it staying any longer. I'll give you five minutes to gather anything you need."
I nodded and stood, bowing before leaving the room. I avoided the living room and ran back to my room.
~Present Day, Ouran High School~
I sighed as I walked down the long hallway. How long had it been since I had been to Japan? Ten years? I checked my watch once more. 3:37. That meant that school was out. I had just received my new uniform.
~Flashback~
The administrations office secretary handed me a yellow looking package. I looked at it and dropped it, cowering in the corner.
"Ano… are you alright, miss?" the secretary asked.
"That thing… is the girl's uniform? Can I have the boy's please? PLEASE?" I gasped, still in the corner.
"Um, sure. Here you go," she mumbled, handing my another package which I quickly stuffed into my bag.
"Thanks," I said, flashing her a smile. She nodded and handed my class schedule. I was in class 3A. She told me to look around for a bit because school was already over. I nodded and left the room.
~End Flashback~
I continued to walk around the school. My long crimson and black hair was in a loose ponytail that was draped over my left shoulder with my long bangs swept to the right. I wore a black t-shirt with an intricate white rose printed on the front. My faded denim skinny jeans had a few rips in the knees but I didn't mind. My black shoes padded softly on the glistening floor as I pulled my gray jacket tighter around me. What was up with schools and over using their A/C's? I continued to walk along the hallway, opening a few doors along the way. Finally, I reached the end of this particular corridor and saw a sign above the door that read 'Third Music Room'. I shrugged and opened the door.
Rose petals drifted through the air and a chorus of welcomes filled my ears. I stepped through the door and suddenly found myself in the gentle arms of a blond haired boy with sparkling blue eyes.
"Welcome the Host Club, miss. What can I do for you on this fine day?" he asked. I sweat dropped because it was gray and cloudy outside, my least favorite type of weather.
"Um…" was all I could say as I pushed away from him and took in my surroundings. I was in a rather large room with many couches and five handsome young men. "What's going on here?"
"Oh, you must be the new student that just entered class 3A. It's a pleasure to meet you," one of the boys said. He had black hair and glasses and was holding a little black note book.
"Who are you?" to twin boys asked as they approached me, circling around me before coming to a halt in front of my face.
"Uhh…" I'm really slow, aren't I? I still couldn't think of what to say.
"Her name is Kitama-," he was cut off when a door opened and in walked a small boy being carried by a tall dark haired man.
"Sorry, we're late everybody. I just finished my nap," the little boy said sleepily rubbing his eyes.
"Anyway, as I was saying, her name is Kitama Sashiyumi, age: seventeen, date of birth: November 18, Blood type: O, daughter of Jeremiah Lampertige, the French ambassador, and Evelyn Sashiyumi, Greece's queen," he said. During his speech, the tall, dark haired man's eyes caught mine and we both froze.
'Mori-chan…' I realized as my eyes widened slightly. I quickly looked away and regained composure.
"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, Princess," the blond one said, kissing my hand. I stiffened at Princess but faked a smile for all of them.
"Forgive me, I was at a loss for words. My name is Kitama Sashiyumi. I didn't mean to interrupt something," I said as I bowed slightly.
"Oh, of course not. Forgive me, I forgot my manners. Let me introduce you," the blond one said. He introduced me to all of them, including Mori, who I still hadn't looked at again.
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you," I faked a smile once more. My eyes were in shadow but I continued to fake the smile for them.
'He probably hates me for leaving with out telling him, if he even remembers me. I doubt he recognizes me now,' I thought to myself and I looked down to the side.
"Is something bothering you, Princess?" Tamaki, I had finally learned his name.
"Don't call me that," I mumbled, not looking up.
"What did you say, Princess?" he asked again.
"I said DON'T CALL ME THAT!" I yelled, glaring up at him, tears in my eyes threatening to spill over. "Ugh… I hate this…" I mumbled again as I turned away, flushed and wiped away my tears.
"Ah…" Tamaki seemed to be lost for words.
"Sorry… I just... I'm sick of people calling me that. It get's on my nerves," I said, apologizing for my actions.
"No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you," he replied gently.
"It's fine, I don't know why I'm acting like this. I don't usually get all emotional like this," I explained as I wandered over towards a large, glass vase with beautiful rubies set in the side. I backed up a few paces with my hands behind my back, studying the vase carefully. I kept walking backwards before turning around and coming face to face with the twins who were grinning evilly at me. They were about three inches from my face when they suddenly yelled, "BOO!" and nudged me.
Apparently I had been leaning backwards already because I felt myself falling and instinctively, my hands shot out and I did two back flips before skidding on the ground backwards. I thought that I was safe, until a random banana peel appeared out of no where and I slipped and knocked into the ruby vase. I looked up in horror as the vase and its stand tipped over. I managed to grab the stand but the vase shattered when it hit the ground.
"Shit…" I said starring at the broken pieces. "Today just isn't my lucky day is it?" I sighed and ran my hand over my face.
"It shouldn't be a problem for you to pay us back. After all, you are royalty. That will be nine million yen," Kyouya stated.
"Double shit…" I said, still starring at the broken vase.
"Well?" he asked expectantly. "Why don't you just call your father and ask him to pay for it?" he said. I stiffened as I stood up and brushed myself off, not bothering to face them.
"I… I'm not on 'good terms' with that man at the moment," I stated curtly.
"Then your mother? The twins asked.
I shook my head. "She and I haven't been in contact with each other for a few years," I replied, looking over at the wall which I had suddenly take a great liking to.
"So… you don't have to money to pay it off?" Hunny asked innocently.
"No… I don't have the money," I replied.
"Well then you'll have to work it off just like Haruhi is doing," Kyouya said as he began to write.
"Wait, WHAT???" Everyone except Kyouya and Mori yelled.
"She'll just work as a host. Apparently, she's a master con-artist," Kyouya replied, glancing my direction. I ignored him and turned to face them.
"Fine, but on one condition," I said.
"Let's hear it," Kyouya replied.
"I get to ask Haruhi a question," I said calmly. He nodded and I sighed before flopping onto a nearby couch.
"Ok, I'm cool then," I said, waving my hand in the air in defeat. "So Haruhi. You're a girl, right?"
"WAH???" All of them screamed except for Mori and Kyouya.
"Uhh… Y-yeah, I am. Is it that obvious?" she asked.
"Nah… well apparently not to the girls that come here. To me, yes. But don't worry, I'm promise to keep it a secret," I sighed as I turned over onto my side, looking at the table sadly.
"Oh, um… thank you very much, Sashiyumi-san," she replied quietly.
"Don't bother with the formal shit. It's not like I care anyway. Call me what you want," I mumbled again before sitting up and resting my elbow on my bent knee before propping my head in my hand.
"Ah… okay?" she replied, a little shocked by my language I guessed.
"Well then, let's see what you can do," Kyouya said, while writing in his little book.
"And by that you mean what?" I asked boredly.
"I assume you have your boy's uniform so go get dressed. You'll have to act as a boy so that you can join this club so we have to make sure you're suitable for the job," he replied.
I sighed before standing up and sticking my hands in my pockets and slouching forwards with a slight pout on my face. "Fine. Where do I change?"
The twins pointed to a door at the end of the room and Haruhi offered to show me personally.
"Thanks, Haruhi," I smiled as she closed the door to the room. I sighed and dropped the smile. I pulled off my jacket and dropped it on the ground at my feet. I lifted off my shirt and held it in front of me, stroking it with my fingers before tossing it on the ground as well. I changed into the black pants but stared at the dress shirt in my hands, thinking.
'He hates me, doesn't he? He's so quiet and he never smiles. Was he like that before? Did I do that to him?' I got lost in my gloomy thoughts and didn't hear someone knocking at the door. As the door opened I looked indifferently at the wall in front of me, still thinking.
"Ah! Didn't you hear me asking if you were done?! Put a shirt on!" I looked over at Tamaki who was blushing at the door.
"Oh… sorry…" I mumbled. "Uh, could you leave while I finish changing? I'm in a bra after all and I find this situation just a tiny bit unnerving, if you get what I'm saying?" I said, shooing him out. I reached into my bag and groped around a bit until I found the bandages that I used with my kendo uniform. I quickly wrapped my chest tightly with practiced ease before pulling on my white uniform shirt and the blue blazer.
I sighed. 'Now for my hair… hmm what to do, what to do? Aha! I got it!' I smirked and reached into my bag.
~Back with the host club~
Tamaki was still blushing furiously and starring at the ground as the twins skipped around him is circles and teasing him. Haruhi sighed at the three of them and looked over to see Mori-senpai looking at the ground, his eyes glazed over, his face impassive. At that moment, the door opened and we all looked up to see a crimson haired boy whose hair stopped a little below his ears. His brown eyes were flecked with orange and a little bit of gray that sparkled as he looked over at the window while walking forward and straightening his black tie. He had even and balanced steps and he walked with impassive grace. He stopped in front of us and looked Kyouya in the eye.
"What do you think?" Kitama's voice asked gently.
I'm pretty sure we all gawked at her, apart from Kyouya and Mori.
"H-h-how did you do that???" the twins chorused as they walked around her, inspecting her job.
"Hey, I'm a con-artist. What did you expect?" she replied, shrugging.
"That'll do. Now we have to decided what type you are," Kyouya stated, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. She sighed, looking out at the window again, her hand fingering a silver ring that rested on a chain around her neck.
"Ne, she looks lonely, right Takashi?" Hunny asked, tugging on Mori-senpai's sleeve. Mori glanced in her direction and nodded.
"So, lonely type? She looks more sad if you ask me. Right, Kaoru?" Hikaru said while looking at her. She apparently wasn't paying us any attention to the conversation because she sighed and looked down at the necklace before returning her gaze back to the window.
"Heart-broken," Tamaki said suddenly. We all turned to look at him and Kyouya nodded.
"So it's between Lonely and Heart-broken?" Kyouya stated, scribbling in his book.
"Hey! How about our idea?" the twins shouted furiously.
"It wasn't relevant so I cut it from the idea list," he replied impassively.
I saw Hunny approaching her and turned to see him tugging on her shirt. She looked down, slightly startled.
"Yes?" she asked and bent down to his height.
"Ne, Kita-chan, are you sad about something?" he asked innocently and she smiled at him, a genuine smile.
"Why do you ask?" she avoided the question.
"Well, you keep looking out that window and you were just playing with that necklace so I just thought you looked lonely," he replied.
"Yeah… I guess I am," she replied, ruffling his hair. "There's someone that I'm missing right now, is all. So don't worry about it, ne?" she smiled forlornly and held her arms out to him for a hug. He smiled and jumped into her arms and she lifted him into the air, twirling on the spot as he rested comfortably on her hip.
~Kitama's POV~
I twirled around in circles and it reminded me of something that I had done with Mori when I was little.
~Flashback~
Mori-chan and I spun happily, our hands linked, as we twirled in circles in the golden field. We let go and we both collapsed onto the ground and I giggled gleefully. Mori-chan remained in silence. He sat up and turned towards the sunset with his knees pulled close to his chest, his arms and chin resting on top of them as he gazed into the distance.
I sat up and crawled towards him. As I sat down, the gray clouds that had been threatening to form rumbled and I looked up as it began to rain over us. I looked over at Mori-chan as he sat and we were soon soaked.
"Mori-chan? Are you alright? What happened? M-Mori-chan… you're crying," I said as I kneeled in front of him, my hands pressed against the sides of his face and bringing his head up to look into my eyes. His tears began to pour freely now as his body began to shake slightly. He pulled his face out of my hands and buried it in his arms, his shoulders shaking even more now, his sobs becoming audible.
"Mori-chan. What's going on? Why, why are you sad?" I asked gently and I stroked his head gently. He looked up at me before I leaned forward and pulled him into a hug. He grabbed the front of my dress and began to cry harder.
"I… I'm scared you're gonna leave me," he mumbled as I hugged him.
"Why?" I stroked his hair gently and my other hand rubbed his back.
"My… my aunt. She died yesterday. She was always so nice to me and she was always there. B-but now… she won't ever come back!" he cried more. "I'm afraid you'll leave me too, Ki-chan," he whispered.
"Mori-chan. Can I tell you something?" he nodded as I pulled back so that he could look me in the eyes, one hand pressed against his cheek. "You and I will always be together, no matter what. Even if I'm not with you, I want you to know that I will always be right here," I placed my other hand over his heart and his hand reached up and covered mine. "You will always be in my heart," I continued taking my other hand and taking his before placing it over my heart. He nodded and his tears thinned and the rain began to pound on our bodies. I smiled and I removed one of my hands, digging in my pocket for something. I pulled it out and reached forward, clipping the necklace around his neck so that the locket hung over his heart. "There. Now you'll always have a part of me with you." He smiled slightly and we hugged again before he gave me a small package that he told me to open later when I was alone. When I did, I found a tiny silver ring that hung on a silver chain. I smiled and put it on, vowing to keep it with me always.
~End Flashback~
"Kita-chan, you're crying! Are you okay? What's wrong?" Hunny asked and I realized that I had stopped spinning and tears were leaking from my eyes. My voice hitched in my throat and I could only smile and wrap my arms around his small form, burying my face into his shoulder. He patted my head gently until I stopped crying.
"S-sorry," sniffle. "I was just thinking about something that made me happy. I'm just sad that I couldn't be there now, reliving the experience. I didn't even realize that I was crying!" I smiled at him and he giggled.
"It's okay! Do you want some cake? Cake always makes me feel better!" I laughed and put him down.
"Sure, I'd love some," he said, taking his small hand in mine as he guided me over to a table.
