Chapter One - Falling to a Fault
Ootori Kyouya
What happens when people get out of place? When things just don't go the way you might expect, because for the first time in your life, the choice you might have made had actually been wrong? Wrong? You? Sure…you might be wrong, but I'm never wrong. I know everyone, I know everything. I make it my business to know peoples business, and I make executive decisions from there, including the club that I am now taking part in. Ah yes. My club. My club, or my King's club would be the better thing to say, was not like all other clubs.
We entertained girls. Somehow, we got a major profit from girls shrieking and blushing 24/7. Whether it be the tea, the selling of pictures, or just a simple swaying of the heart. With all of these things, we raked in the gold. And I was the one that took care of that gold, stored it and used it for the better of the club, and the better for myself. All in all, I didn't care all that much about the actual people in the club. All that mattered to me was how much money they could attract.
But of course, no body knows this. I hide myself. I hide behind my glasses, behind my laptop screen. And every now and then, I must flash a simple smile; perform as a gentleman in order to make the girls that I entertain faint. But of course, this is easy for the likes of me. It always has been. Being the youngest of my brothers, and less liked by my father, I ended up creating a mask for myself. It had started with my birth. After my mother spewed me from her uterus, I was practically nothing to her.
The maids cared for me. Heck, even then my nursery was in the most western part of the household, so that my cries did not interrupt my parent's slumber. I did not play while I grew up, I studied. By the age of five, I knew how to perfectly hold both a German and English tongue, which also included my natural Japanese way of speaking. I had passed all math courses flawlessly by the age of thirteen, and by fifteen, I really had no need for school anymore. It was only one person who kept me around. One person who made me decide that maybe staying at school until I graduated. His name was Tamaki. Suou Tamaki.
At first, the only reason that I got myself caught up with that incredibly annoying boy was because my father had constructed me to do so. Suou's family were my family's business rivals, my family having business in medical, and his in the business market.
I'm really not sure about the guy, but the job he had in store for me I had accepted almost immediately. I, in my own way, liked being in the host club, for several reasons. First of all, the men that I hang around with were incredibly eccentric to the max, which could be interesting in it's own way.
We had the cute one with the loyal silent one, the almost intestinally loving ones, the praising one, and myself. We were an odd group, each and every one of us having our flaws, except myself, and our own problems. And until she came, we mostly kept to ourselves about such problems.
But then it had all started, with the breaking of a vase, the beginning of a debt, and the realization of a gender. The way it ended? A fall from a balcony, a surge of blood, and a slap in the face about ones own flaws. Here I was…sitting beside her body. I cradled her in my arms with one hand, and with the other I was dialing on my cell phone. The police wouldn't come fast enough, so I called my fathers hospital. After the call was ended, I had dropped the phone, and looked down at the fragile being in my arms. I looked very calm on the outside, but I could feel my inner workings beginning to crumble.
She was so pale, and both of us had been covered in her blood. Where it was coming from…I didn't know. I couldn't tell. There was just so much of it. Calculations ran themselves through my head. How long would she live without help? About how much of it she had taken before her fall? Exactly what I had done wrong in order for such a thing to happen? Yes, deep down, I knew that this was my fault. The things she had done, the things I had gotten her near, into. It was all my fault.
The things I had said…
So now, I was shocked to actually come to the conclusion that perhaps, for the first time in a long time, I had made the wrong choice. I ruined something that I held dear. Something…close. But I was supposed to be heartless. I was supposed to be different than the others. I had locked away my feelings a long time ago, so why was it now that I felt salty tears drenching my pale cheeks. Reaching up, I pulled my glasses off, and threw them to the side. They crashed against the concrete, and then rolled into a puddle. Ah, it had started raining. Since when? My face was drenched, my hair sticking to my skin. But as I looked on, the sudden pour of water was beginning to wash away her blood, and I felt my eyes tear up once more as I was finally capable of seeing where it was all coming from.
The back of her head. I hadn't realised it until now, as I had been covering that spot with my hand. The blood was coming from the back of her head, where it had hit the ground from the five story fall. Her leg was bent in an odd shape, and I was so scared that she was going to go away. I held her tightly to myself, bending down so my head resting lightly against hers. A very light sigh came from her lips, and I was glad to hear that she was still breathing, but for how long? How long would this last?
Finally, I heard the sounds as Sirens. Normally I would have put her down, and stood up. Fixed my glasses on my head, and acted like my usual cold hearted self. But my mask had slipped, fallen far away from me, and I couldn't find it in time for men to rush up. I couldn't find it when they had torn her body from rigid hands, nor when they had escorted me into the limo waiting for me. I hadn't been able to find it during the entire drive to the hospital, the limousine trailing close after the loud vehicle, nor when I waited in a pale room for any news away her. The others had come, Tamaki being his freaked out self, the twins torturing the Father only out of the uncertainty they felt themselves, Hunni was crying, unable to say anything more, while he was being held by Takashi. Me? I was waiting. Waiting for anything, a sign, something to tell me that it was going to be ok.
I ignored everyone else. I ignored all sounds. I had finally found my mask by the time that the first Host member had shown up, and was sitting calmly in the farthest chair from them all. My back was straight, a new pair of glasses resting on the bridge of my nose, and my laptop was sitting on my lap. My fingers flew, but in reality, I was typing nothing. Gibberish onto a Word document, and even though my head was down and my lenses were reflecting the light from the portable computer, I was straining my eyes to look up, and to watch the door where I was expecting a doctor or a nurse to walk in with either terrible, or wonderful news. I hoped for the latter.
Just as a young woman walked in, I felt my heart fall into hell itself. She was looking at me, and the expression on her face was not what I had hoped for. "Mr. Ootori, may I please see you for a moment?" I nodded, and set my laptop on the seat, not caring about it anymore, and walked through those doors with the woman, ignoring the cries from Tamaki claiming that "I should be the one to see her! I'm her Father! C'mon, please? Mother! Tell her!"
I hoped the everything was ok, but from the look on her face, I knew that that could only be a passing dream. Damnit, why did I have to screw up so bad?
