Four of a Kind

Ever wondered how Haruhi was able to deal with the Hitachiin twins so easily?

Well, maybe it was because she a set to practice with.

Fujioka Haruhi was walking up the stairs to her apartment when a set of identical voices called out to her. With out stopping to think that the voices where feminine Haruhi spun around and started her defense as though it where rehearsed,

"No…no…no…no…no…no! Kyoya gave me the day off! I am host club free for the weekend, so don't even go… you're not Hikaru and Kaoru."

Haruhi found herself looking at a set of brown haired twins in pants, knit tops (black and really dark Purple), and sneakers.

"Kyoya?" the one in black asked.

"Host club?" the other fallowed.

"Hikaru AND Kaoru?"

"Haruhi sweetheart,

"What are they teaching you at that school?" They both said in perfect unison.

"Rumi? Momi?" Haruhi said shock and confusion written on her face.

"What?" Rumi, black tank, asked.

"You where expecting Johnny Depp?"

"Or perhaps Lindsey Lohan?"

"Ha ha, aren't we funny." Haruhi said, "So what are you guys doing here?"

"Sweetheart,"

"We live here."

"What? No way, I never see you guys anymore, I thought you moved."

Both girls gave her 'and that's our fault how?' looks, and Rumi said,

"You're the one that's never here."

"Touché. Wanna come up?"

"Please and thank you."

Haruhi and Rumi and Momi Jonouchi had always been the best of friends they had lived in the same apartment building their entire lives; and right next door to each other to top it off. They had always been there to have each others back and be there to help them pick up the pieces when their lives seemed to crumble out from under them. That was until Haruhi went off to Ouran and the twins went to Tokyo High. Since then they never stopped thinking of the others as a second family of just them but never really found the time to hang out like they used to since Haruhi had the host club, Momi had track and field, and Rumi had taken up karate as a suggestion by their counselor to help her relive some of the pint up anger and stress and stay out of trouble (Essentially it was karate or expulsion). As the almost reunited family finished their way up the stairs the earlier mentioned Hitachiin twins slid off the concrete post of the guardrail.

"Hey Haruhi." Hikaru said

"We missed you at the club, but we didn't relies you where doing off site hosting." Kaoru said looking over his friend's shoulder at the second set of twins, "Who're your friends."

"Y-your replacing us." Hikaru said putting a hand to his face in mock hurt.

"Umm… I've known them since we where, like what four, five maybe?"

"Three." Momi said leaning on her twin.

"Right. We can go with that."

"Any way," Rumi said extending a hand toward the closer Hitachiin, Kaoru, "I'm Rumi Jonouchi, and this is my sister…"

"Momi." she said also extending her hand.

"Hikaru,"

"and Kaoru Hitachiin." they said shaking back

"Hitachiin…"

"Any relation to the designer?"

"Our mother."

"Ahh…. I see." Rumi said

"Said the blind woman."

"Hush you."

"Make me."

"You can sleep in the chair tonight."

"Nu-uh, I slept in it all last week it's your turn."

"You forget mom's not home this week, respect your elders."

"Three minutes."

"Heh, enough time for the clock to hit midnight. Your birthdays still the day after mine."

"Enough!" Haruhi said, "Honestly, you two fight like an old married couple."

"Uh!!"

"I'm insulted."

"You know Kaoru, suddenly, I'm not so bored any more" Hikaru said stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Me nether Hikaru," the other twin said as he watched the three girls bicker between each other then erupt into laughter.

"I missed you guys." Haruhi said through the giggles.

"Sweetheart we've been right next door." Momi said

"We have always been right next door."

"Ok as thrilling as this conversation is, can we please move it inside?" Haruhi asked, "I'm freezing."

"Honey, I keep telling you, move to somewhere where it's warm all year round." Rumi said opening the door to their apartment,

"You never did do well with the cold." Momi said before turning to the Hitachiin's "Umm is there a reason you're just standing there? C'mon in, we don't bight. Well I don't, Rumi sometimes…"

"What lies are you telling them about me?" Rumi said wrapping her arms around her sisters shoulders.

"No lies," Momi said moving aside so that Hikaru and Kaoru could come in, "Remember you bit Trace last year?"

"Nu-uh, that was two years ago, and besides he started it."

"Trace wasn't here two years ago, that was Suzume."

"You bit Suzume?" Haruhi asked from the kitchen.

"No!!"

"No, you just used her as a bed."

"Hush you."

"Wait a minute, who's Trace?"

"Oh you're gonna love this, Haru-chan," Momi said with a fake sniff, "Our little Rumi's growing up so fast, she's …"

"Shut up you." Rumi said kicking Momi from behind, "He was my boy friend for a little wile."

"Boy friend?" Haruhi asked looking at Rumi in shock, "You, a boy friend."

"More like boy toy." Momi said.

"I said hush you!"

"OUCH!!! Momma, Rumi hit me!" Momi said standing behind Haruhi.

"Excuse me?" Haruhi said looking confused, "When did we deside I was mom?"

"I thought that was Kyoya." Hikaru said.

"Me too." Kaoru and Haruhi said.

"Yes well, we don't know him so…"

"He's your mom, but you're our mom."

"Joy."

"Aww... we love you too."

My Dearest Readers

This was a story I've had in the works for a wile but I have one story I need to finish up and one multi-chapter story I'm currently working on; this is basically the polar opposite of my other one so I'm doing them both together that way if I need a break from one I can write on the other. Also I have been given the wonders gift of watching the little children so if I can't update as often as you or I like I ask your forgiveness and tolerance. Thank you for your time and please continue reading my stories.

Sincerely yours,

Star-Filled-Night
