"Shut up!" Haruhi yelled. The host club members were whining again. They had asked her to go to the beach with them. Since she already had plans, plans she refused to break, she told them no. The one word they didn't know, no. "Let me go!" The twins had grabbed a hold of her waist and pulled her close. She was getting uncomfortable with her personal space bubble being invaded. She tried to wiggle her way out, but that only made them tighten their hold.
"Why won't you come with us?" Tamaki whined. Haruhi gave him a very obvious 'I-don't-want-to-deal-with-you-right-now' look. This sent the host club 'king' into his solitary corner to sulk. "Mommy! Haruhi won't listen to daddy!" Tamaki called out to Kyoya. Kyoya just rolled his eyes and went back to working. Haruhi sighed. All she wanted to do was go home and get ready. Her 'friends' were starting to irritate her.
"I have plans Sempia. I couldn't go even if I wanted to." Haruhi squired more. She even tried going limp to get the twins to let go. It was no use. It was time to call in the big guns. "MORI!" She reached her arms out. Mori took no time in coming to her rescue. He put her on the ground beside him and gave her a small smile. She gave the same kind back.
"You're a commoner. What plans could you possibly have?" Kyoya's glasses caught the light as he spoke, causing a very scary glare effect. Haruhi shivered. She moved to stand in front of the hosts so she would only have to say it once. She took a deep breath to calm herself down an stood up straight.
"If you must know, I'm going to see my girl friends." Then she waited for the reactions. The twins looked irritated, Tamaki was off crying, Kyoya looked mildly interested, Honey looked like he would cry, and Mori stood frozen. "Come on guys, it's not that big of a deal." Haruhi sighed again, but this time in utter annoyance. She was oh so done with these rich bastards.
"I want to meet my daughter's friends!" Tamaki shrieked. "I must make sure they are suitable." He kept on ranting. Haruhi tried to look irritated, but couldn't. She could barely contain her laughter. She couldn't take anymore. She let it all out. Her laugh was loud and full. The host club members were looking at her strangely. "MOMMY! Our daughter is being mean to me!" Tamaki flew off to his corner to sulk.
"Sempia trust me. You wouldn't want to meet them. People say they're kind of scary, and I know for a fact that they make you all look like perfectly sane geniuses." Haruhi spoke trying to get her breathing under control. She gave everyone a reassuring smile, hoping they would leave it alone. They didn't, but they never do.
"Whaaaa~ Haru-chan! Why would you're friends be scary?" Haruhi braced herself for a glomp. Honey wrapped his arms around her waist. Haruhi couldn't get her feet braced in time and was sent sprawling. Her butt hit the ground as she pulled him close. She looked at him to make sure he wasn't hurt. He just gave her a big smile. She shook her head and let out a small laugh.
"It's not their fault. It's just how things are." She pried Honey off of her a stood up. She brushed off her uniform and stretched. "Besides, you'd scare them senseless." She gave them a seemingly innocent smile.
"Us? How would we scare them?" Hikaru spoke hotly. Karou put a hand on his twins shoulder to try and calm him down. "Why would you bother with them? We're your friends." Then there was silence. The tension continued to build as everyone fought to find a word to say. Even Kyoya gave the situation a curious glance, wondering how it would be solved.
"They need me." Haruhi's voice was soft and quiet. That's all she said. Nothing more. Mori gave her head a gentle pat of approval. She looked up to see a barely visible smile on his face. She let a grin appear as well. "You guys are a lot alike. That's one of the reasons I've been able to handle you all so well. Heck, it's the reason I can handle you at all." There was another lapse of silence. The boys gave her another quizzical look.
"Can we meet them Haru-chan? Please?" Honey gave Haruhi is biggest puppy dog eyes She knew she would crack if she didn't act fast.
"I don't know. It probably isn't a very smart idea." The twins took her hesitation as a chance. In a flash they were on their knees next to Honey. The three of them gave her looks that would melt hearts, even Kyoya's. She tried to turn away to avoid it, but couldn't. "Alright, alright. You guys can meet them." The hosts, minus Kyoya and Mori, cheered. "But we need to go over rules."
"Rules? Why do we need rules?" Tamaki whined. The twin nodded in agreement while Kyoya pushed his glasses higher onto his face, causing a glare.
"Because if there are rules, I can easily justify them trying to kill you." Haruhi's voice held no hint of amusement. So one would assume she was serious. The entire room deadpanned. "Shall we get started?" She gave them an innocent smile.
"Rule 1: Do not touch them. None of them like to be touched." Kyoya wrote down notes in his infamous black book with a smile. "Rule 2: No yelling, screaming, or whining. Max has a very short temper and a small amount of patience, so don't push your luck." She gave a meaningful look towards Tamaki and the twins. "Rule 3: If you have any thoughts, it's best to speak them out loud. Trust me on this." She ignored the odd looks she got.
She walked over to the corner where her school bag was. She turned to the hosts and held up a finger. With that she walked into the dressing room. A few minutes later she stepped back out. She was wearing a simple pink dress that went to her knees with a bow in the back. She had even clipped her bangs back. She gave everyone a smile.
"You look so pretty Haru-chan! But why are you dressed like that?" Honey tilted his head to the side as he spoke. He held his bunny a little closer.
"The twins wouldn't recognize me if I didn't. " She patted his head with pure affection. 'They will love him.' Haruhi smiled at that thought.
"We totally know it's you!" The twins yelled together. Haruhi just laughed.
"Not you two. My other twins." She grabbed the rest of her stuff and made her way to the door. "Are you coming?" She looked over her shoulder.
The walked away from the club room and out of the school. It took a minute or two, but soon they were near the front gate. Near enough to see the girl in front of said gate. She had waist long pink hair. Her cloths were ripped and tattered, but it looked like it was supposed to be this way. She had heavy eye liner and dark gloss. She smiled when she saw Haruhi.
"Hey Haruhi. You ready to go?" Her voice was low but sweet. Haruhi just nodded. "You're lucky Kazema didn't show up for work today. It's the only way I could swipe the van." She ruffled Haruhi's hair.
"Who are you?" Hikaru called out rudely. The girl just let out a loud laugh.
"Of course, how rude of me. My name is Kikao, but everyone calls me Kiki." Kiki finished with a smile. With that she turned on her heels and walked toward the bulky van. She pulled the heavy door open. "Hop in."
*Awesome time transition cuz I can*
The car ride was spent in silence. Haruhi spent the miles looking out of the window. Mori had a sleeping Honey in his lap. Kyoya ticked away on his laptop. The twins played their Gameboy and Tamaki spent time tucked away in his mind theater.
"So….Are we there yet?" Haruhi broke the silence. It was probably a bad idea, seeing as how the car was coming back to life. The twins stopped gaming, Kyoya looked up from his laptop, Honey woke up, and even Tamaki snapped to attention.
"We should see the gates soon." Kiki answered. They saw the gates alright. Not that you could miss them.
The gate stood 20ft high with metal spikes at the top. On either side of said gate was a chain link fence lined with barbwire. But that wasn't what was scary. Behind the fence stood a hospital like building. The walls were cracked and the windows were barred. Men in uniforms walked around the building with dogs. It wasn't a matter of keeping people out, it was keeping people in.
The gates creaked open. The van rolled down the gravel road. With every crunch the boys sunk deeper into their seats. Haruhi fidgeted with excitement. Kiki just smiled a wicked grin. Everyone jumped when a high pitched scream torn across the compound.
"Sounds like Doctor is at work again." Kiki spoke calmly. Haruhi nodded in agreement. She was completely unfazed by this. The boys were another story. Even Kyoya was terrified.
"Where are we?" Tamaki was barely able to squeak out. Kiki slammed on her brakes and gave them a twisted grin.
"Welcome to the asylum boys. Enjoy your stay."
I wrote this at 1 in the morning, so im sorry if it sucks. This has been bothering me for about a month now. I just really needed to get it down. There should be more, depending on how it goes over. Thanks for reading, it's always appreciated. I'll keep you posted.
