Tearing the wings off of butterflies.
"Kaoru-chan! Hikaruie! Wait up!" a voice called behind the twins, puzzled they turned around wondering who was calling their names, well, their old nick-names from middle school. That's when the saw her. Her long black hair flowed down to her waist, neon green and purple streaks made their way down her hair, flowing into her black dyed hair. She had on large clunky black boots that looked like they had a million belt latches on; she wore the school uniform, only she modified it to a certain degree.
It looked like it was dyed black, and the god forsaken arm ruffles torn off, leaving it to be almost a little black dress, almost, it was still the ugly uniforms that were required at the prestige school. Her Moss green eyes twinkled and a happy smile planted its way on her face. She ran up and gave them a bear hug. " It's been so long~! I don't think I remember the last time I saw you guys." She said pulling away from the shocked boys.
"Dawnie~!" Kaoru was the first one to answer her, launching into her, leaving both of them on the floor in a hugging fest. Hikaru sighed, watching them roll around in a hug and in their own stupidity.
" HI dawn." Was all he said and started to walk away when a hand reached up and held onto his ankle stopping him. With a scowl on his face he looked down. " What?" he spoke sharp and fast.
Dawn looked at him her eyes bigger and rounder then usual showing off her rare green eyes. " Hikaruie~. Do you not like me?" she asked dumbfounded as to why the twin was so cold to her.
He yanked his foot away from her grasp. " come on Kaoru. Boss won't be happy if were late." He stated roughly and rigidly walked on. Kaoru sighed and got up from their happy hugging fest.
Reaching out a hand he helped her up. " Come on Dawnie, why don't you come with us to our club." He spoke softly looking after his sour brother. Dawnie nodded and followed him down the buildings long hallway. Along the way she stared at all the paintings and beautiful stain glassed windows, this was far from the public schools of California she had gotten so used to. It was even better than the middle school she had gone to with the boys.
Finally after going up a large grand stair case, they reached a door that opened into a flower filled room. Wearily Dawn hide behind Kaoru, peeking her head around him to catch a glimpse, but still be safe. " Dawnie-chan its fine. It's only a host club." Kaoru stated and she stared with her mouth open when her eyes finally adjusted to the bright room.
That's when she had a laugh attack. She rolled on the floor in tears. There was Hikaru, her child-hood friend, dressed in a giant fuzzy tiger suit, making him look ridiculous to any one not under his charm. " Ha-ha-Hikaru… " she could barely breath as she laughed on.
He turned bright red and stomped away. Embarrassed at her hard core laughter, especially when it was aimed at him. She got up and wiped a tear away from her eye. " Oi, Hikaruie! It was just a joke." She stated defending herself as she followed him into a smaller room connected to the large music room.
" It was a mean one!" he shouted from behind a curtain, marked with a piece of paper saying changing room. Dawn sighed and opened the curtain, reveling a shirt less twin. " Dawn! I'm changing." He said as he tried to push her away, it failed.
" God, Hikaru when did you become a girl. Anyways it's not something I haven't seen before."
He growled and turned around putting on a black shirt. "Doesn't mean you get to see it now. Anyways don't you need to go hug Kaoru or something?"
Dawn came up to him and rested her head on his chest, closing her eyes, sighing. His face turned dark shades of red, when she looked up at him and batted her eyelashes. He melted in her hands as he got to stare into her eyes once more. " Fuck off." She said plain and simple, catching him off guard.
He stared blankly at her and then it kicked in " Dawnie! Why did you do that!"
She pulled away and snickered. " You always used to fall for that when we were kids too."
He grew red again but this time outa embarrassment and fury " That wasn't funny Dawnie! Anyways why are you here? Didn't you move back to California?"
She turned around examining the room around her, grazing her fingertips along the expensive coach as she walked" Yeah, only because I failed the entrance exams for here. After a year had passed I could retake it. My mother was all for it, and I couldn't say no to getting to see you guys again." she finished and turned to him a smile on her face her eyes closed in happiness.
He turned and stomped off into the other room, before he opened the beautiful crowned door he kept his head straight forward only his eyes turned to see how dawn would take what her was about to say. " You shouldn't have come, me AND Kaoru are better off without you." With that he flicked his wrist and opened the door waving hello to his friends in the other room as if he hadn't even said a thing.
She stared after him, her heart about broken when she heard what he said to her. She had so hoped that they would be happy to see her, when she was in California, she had spent a lot of time thinking of the. Carelessly she walked out of the room to face a group filled with new people. Kaoru ran up to her giddily hugging her obvious to her sad broken face. " Dawnie come met my friends~!" he said as he dragged her over to the big group of cos-playing boys, each having their own brand on animals.
" You must Be Dawn Shor. It says here that you were born in California and lived there until the age of 11, which then you moved to japan and went to school at Gima private middle school. And you're also the daughter of the American Movie star Tilly Shor. Am I correct?" a boy dressed as a raven asked, dawn nodded dumbly; surprised that he knew her life so well.
A Boy stepped out from the front of the group staring at her with large brown eyes "Wait did you say that she is your friend, did you just met her? Or did you meet her in Gima? I thought we were the first to burst your guy's bubble of illusional isolation? and why didn't you tell us?" She asked the red headed twins.
Kaoru and Hikaru shrugged and said at the same time " We didn't think it mattered till now." Dawn giggled a bit then went back to being sour, that's how they used to explain things back in middle school to.
"Well I could tell the story if you guys would like…" Dawn stated softly. Hikaru gave her a hard stare but Kaoru along with the others sat around her in a circle like kids do when a teacher is telling a story. She grinned evilly at The angered twin and turned to the group " Ok well…
(just so you don't get lost, this next part is Dawn telling the story of her meeting the twins.)
Me and Taylor walked down the hallway trying desperately to read in Japanese. It was our first day at Gima and we should have learned to read in Japanese before we joined. me and Taylor were discussing about where room 103 was, not paying much attention to where we were going. That's when we bumped into Hikaru and Kaoru. It was funny to see how smitten Taylor was to twins. She couldn't tell the difference, which was funny because whenever she would talk to them she would hit on them, but always end up offending them because she didn't get their names right.
Well then she decided that it was time for her to ask one of them out, and I was all like, 'Taytay, those boys are bad news' but she didn't care. I didn't want her heart broken by them so instead of her writing a stupid love note, I did it first and told her I laid claim on them. I choose Hikaru because that was the one she said she liked most and if I just went for Kaoru there would be a good chance that she would just think it was cute that we, best friends, were dating twins together. I thought the plan was perfect, until it came to the time I was to meet them.
It was quite sad how Hikaru tried to be Kaoru, but I could tell it was Hikaru by the way his voice was deeper, and that I knew for sure from all the times Taylor would go up to them in class that I had gotten the desk right. I had forgotten what exactly they had said to me, but it had something to do with him always admiring me and that instead of his brother that we should be together' and I smirked and said…"
She was cut off by Kaoru finishing up for her " She said ' Have you no loyalty towards your brother? But then again how could you be loyal to yourself.' And she walked away from him, the first girl to leave without shedding a tear and the first to discover our tricks." Dawn smiled at him and he smiled back both of the blondes were in tears, and the brown eyed one was sniffling.
" What a romantic story! What happen next!?" Dawn looked at them in surprise, she thought they just wanted to know how she came to be friends with them.
Kaoru understood at once and he picked up the story for me, and Hikaru was still sulking in his own self-pity in the corner. Dawn grinned evilly 'he should, after the way he spoke for Kaoru earlier' she thought.
" Well me and Hikaru were so surprised, no girl ever gave us that answer, it was aways the same one that they would date both of us. And I could tell that Hikaru felt a bit smitten by her, I on the other hand was jealous of him. I never got the loyal type of girl.
Well I came up with this idea to be Hikaru and hit on this girl, to make sure that she could tell us apart. So it came about noon and the class we were in where at lunch. It was just about her turn to get her lunch when I cut a head of her, she was quite pissed that I showed up. I said ' was it true what you said about me in that letter? Because I think I like you the same way. I'm sorry for trying to trick you, I didn't want you leaving me for my brother.' Which it was partly true. It was the only love letter we ever didn't rip up, it was own our wall.
She started laughing and I was puzzled she pushed gently aside and grabbed her food then turned to me. ' Sad Kaoru-chan you think can trick me into thinking for Hikaru?" I was shell shocked not only did this girl realize it was me, but she was the first person to call me Kaoru-chan. After that we started to hang out with them more and more, tho Taylor never could tell us apart-" he was cut off my a grumbling sound.
" God, Kaoru-chan you make it sound like love at first sight, we only hung out with them because we were bored and we pitied them. I mean Dawn was basically the poorest commoner on earth, she is from America you know." Hikaru stated hovering above his brother.
Dawn sat up ready to punch him in the face but Kaoru beat her too it. A scream of pain rang out in the room and everyone gasped as lean forward in pain, hold his cheek " Don't talk to Dawnie-chan like that, you know that she isn't a commoner!"
Dawn got up and gently pushed Kaoru away from Hikaru" No he is right, I have no reason to be here, I belong in America not japan. I'll leave now…" she stated simply and soberly walked out of the club.
Good Right :D my first Ouran highschool host club story! Let me say that Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin are the hottest anime guys ever :3
