Where am I?
How come I am lying flatly in the ground?
I do not recall this place, but this place sure looks so beautiful. It looked like I was in a different dimension, a different part of the world. I studied the place more carefully; it looked like Europe in its medieval age, though I wasn't sure because I wasn't able to live in it. The place I am in now was an open field. I wondered why the first word that popped in my head was the word "manor". I tried to help myself up, and noticed on the field were lots of pumpkins.
Pumpkins eh?
"HARUHI! Haruhi!" a familiar voice called my name. I turned and saw my father running towards me, and I thought I saw him wearing something like Robin Hood could have worn.
"Father--," I managed to say and looked at him, from down to up, still surprised of what I am seeing, Is this some kind of a cosplay or something?
"Haruhi..." he started hugging me to death again, (sigh) how come I always have to deal with him?
"Father," I began after giving me his deathly hug. "How come you are dressed like that?"
He gave me a curious expression. "Huh..?"
"I said how come you are dressed like that?"
He gave me a blushed expression, his hand gently stoking his chin. "Have you lost your head in the clouds my good daughter?"
"Eh?"
"Seriously, DO YOU THINK EVERYBODY WOULD ACCEPT ME IF I WEAR A GIRLS CLOTHING?" (A/N: didn't get what his daughter is asking him)
"EH?!"
"My dear daughter, I know how much you sympathize with me because the law didn't allow me to wear girls clothing--"
"But," I tried to let my voice be heard but he wouldn't listen
"That's why; I put all my efforts in giving you all the cutest clothes in the world... AND right now," he said pointing a finger on me "You are wearing the cutest clothes I ever bought for you!"
"Dad, I don't have any idea about what you are talking about, all I was trying to ask is--" I looked down to see my clothes "is...'
"Hmmm..."
Is... I wasn't prepared for the shock that came with it, because instead of seeing my Ouran uniform, I saw myself wearing a monochromatic pink dress that reached to my feet, I am wearing some boots and then I realized that my hair had grown back but this time it reached my waists and it wasn't straight like it used to be, this time it was wavy and I hate fly aways. (A/N: Haruhi is still a girl who hates it when their hair never goes the right way XD)
"What is it that you like to ask my dear daughter?" my father asked me again, I am sure he was waiting for me to finish my sentence.
"All I was trying to ask is... um... what's the name of this town?" goodness! This is the only question that I could think of; I looked at my father's unreadable expression, "I am asking for the name because I have forgotten about it," alright, the perfect excuse I could think of.
Father laughed hard.
I felt like an idiot, not knowing the name of our town.
Father patted me in the head. "Haruhi, you are heaven sent!" he said "You have made me laugh; well this is the Kingdom of Ouran!"
What a weird name for a town.
"Heh heh... thank you..." that's all I can say, still not believing everything that is happening.
"Let me guess... this must be the effect of reading too much in the Hitachiin's private library,"
Private library... Hitachiin's... "Guess so,"
--
It was about sunset when I arrived at this weird place, that's why after I've seen my father it was already time for dinner.
Our house was only a small humble woodcutter's cottage; we only ate the vegetables that according to father I grew at the back yard, and some fruits we picked on our way home.
Father quickly dozed of to sleep in his room, while I, on the other hand couldn't sleep at all. Everything was so fast, and I couldn't recall how I came to this place anyway... I buried my face at my pillow so that I can sleep but I can't. Can anybody tell me what's going on? AAARRGHHH! (A/N: irritated)
I stood at my feet, and gently tip toed going outside my room, then down to the front door, I went out quietly so that I won't be able to wake my dad up. I almost cursed the floor for being so noisy when I stepped at them, but thank God, father was sure a heavy sleeper and snorer.
I decided to take a walk outside. I was only wearing my white night gown, a pair of sleepers and a heavy thick coat. I felt the cool breeze touch my face that night. The moon shone brightly and the stars had never had been this many.
With my head up high, I marveled at the sky's heavenly splendor, and I even felt myself smile as if I was so happily contented at the place where I was in.
I continued to walk on the soft grass of the place. Until I felt something squeaked when I stepped on it. I looked down and removed my foot to reveal the thing I've stepped on. I was surprised when I saw I've stepped on a Bereznoff.
I felt my body stiffen when I learned about this. If Nekozawa-senpai knew this, then I would just have to apologize to him properly. As I bent down to pick up the cat doll, a black arrow landed swiftly on Bereznoff. My arm acted automatically to remove my hand from the grasp of the doll. I felt my heat pounding, this never had happened to me before. As I stood up slowly, I prepared my legs to carry me away from this place, but instead, I felt two arrows land on the end of my cloak, stopping me to go any further. Was this the end of everything? I realized that sooner or later it would be raining arrows and I have to get away fast! I quickly left my cloak and started running away in my nightgown. I didn't care how cold it was but I was determined to get out of the place. Then it hit me: THIS PLACE IS A BATTLE ZONE!
I started running for my life, I started to hear cannons being fired, the sky raining with flaming arrows. I already reached the main town, and the houses are burning! The people were in chaos and running around like mad men.
I started to worry about my father, is he alright? Has he been hurt, I felt like praying to God to save him and offered Him everything if only He could just save him. There is only one thing that I wished, and I wished that dad wouldn't go looking for me.
"OH MY GOD PLEASE SOMEBODY SAVE MY CHILD!" A woman shouted a turned to her direction and saw her pointing at her house which is now full of flames. "SOMEBODY SAVE MY CHILD!"
"Water..." I muttered to myself "water... I need water!" then my eyes scanned automatically for a drum of water, then I spotted a pail of water just a few meters away, I ran towards it then poured the cold water on myself, and before I knew it I was rushing to the flames inside the house, searching for the child.
I didn't care if the flames touched me or anything; I just have to save the child trapped. Then I spotted her in one corner crying for help. I grabbed her little hand and then carried her but there was one problem: the entrance was blocked by fire and it is impossible pass through. My eyes scanned the whole place for another exit and saw a small window high on the wall, but is big enough for the child to pass through.
I knocked open the window with my bare fist. And with all my strength carried the child straight up and when she was successfully delivered outside, a piece of burning wood that fell from the ceiling blocked the opening of the window.
What would be happening of me?
My eyes searched the entire place. But all I can see were flames and smoke, and then before I knew it, I was starting to suffocate. My knees couldn't carry me longer and I collapsed to the hot floor,
But still, my head still was held up high, in case a miracle can let me see a new passage way, but all around me were different colors of red and orange, my head was starting to feel hazy, when somebody wearing an armor suit entered the house with his horse, I looked up to see the one who entered, but my eyes are starting to close themselves.
I felt that he quickly snatched me up, and carried me out of the house, I tried to open my eyes a bit to see him, but instead I saw locks of gold that crowned his head. I gave in to my eye's demand to close. But my ears were still active to hear the sounds that were going on in my surroundings. I only heard shouts and cries of the town's peoples
But despite all those sounds, there was one sound I wouldn't forget: "Hang on," he told me.
--
When I awoke, I was at the back of somebody carrying me. I looked at his hair then recognized him.
"Kaoru..." I managed to say.
"It's alright, your already safe," he answered me, his gentle voice told me.
I looked at my surroundings; here we are, at the mountains of this kingdom. My head looked back, and saw the little town in ruins down the mountain. It was already nearing dawn.
"Thank you," I told him.
"I'm fine, you should have thanked Hikaru instead, and he fought with the enemies bravely and even saved you..."
"Saved me...?' I wondered if it was a dream if I recalled the hair of the person who saved me was blond.
"You know, you were left to him unconscious by our lord, but since he had his hands full last night, he gave you to me to rescue,"
So, it wasn't Hikaru who saved me last night, but their lord...
At last we reached our destination, on top of the mountain, where we are greeted by Hikaru who had injured his arm, while in combat and his horse whom he was feeding right now.
"Hikaru!" Kaoru said, slightly surprised that his brother had injured his arm.
"I'm fine Kaoru, don't worry about me," Hikaru replied to his brother.
"But I wish I would be the one injured so that you don't have to suffer so much pain," Kaoru told his brother.
"I suffer twice the pain if you were the one injured Kaoru and not me,"
"Hikaru..."
They still bring their brotherly love act here in a war zone...
"Hey, Haruhi, how are ya' feelin'?" Hikaru asked me, but I choose not to respond to his question and pretended to be weak to answer.
"IS MY DAUGHTER HERE?!" somebody called out.
"Yeah, Ranka-san she's finally here," the twins answered in unison.
Before I knew it, my dad is the one carrying me, and hugged me very tight. Even if I told him to let go off me, I know he wouldn't listen; being hugged tight is the same as being suffocated by fire.
--
"So you are telling me, that this place is your secret hideout." I clarified to the twins. They answered yes in unison.
Right now, we are inside the cottage and we are sitting by the dining room, which is nothing more that wooden stools and a table at the center.
"What happened last night was unsuspected and we really are taken by surprise by the enemy." My father added.
I felt my head drop, aren't wars supposed to be unsuspected?
"But not here in the kingdom of Ouran," the twins said in unison as if reading my mind.
I sighed let my head rest at the table. What kind of world is this? Is this just a dream? I wanted to go back to my own world.
"Whether you like it or not, this is your world," The twins said in unison.
"I'M SO SORRY HARUHI! Daddy is not able to bring you to a peaceful kingdom to live in!!" my father 'dramad' again.
I just wanted to tell him that this isn't the world I've known, AND the world I've known is the world where modern life is and not where medieval things seem to rule people's lives.
I sighed and then looked outside the open door. The sun is high up and the one seen on the farthest is a splendid castle.
"The view of the castle is not so bad after all," Kaoru said, following the gaze in my eyes.
"Yeah," Hikaru agreed with his brother, "From here, we can see the signals that they can send us, for example when the castle is under attack,"
Then the twins laughed out loud.
I made a face, this two are really little demons. "Have you met the King?" I asked them.
They looked at me and said in unison "Who knows?"
"But Haruhi, you've met the prince before, right?" my father said. I felt my heart leap. When did meeting him happen?
"Guess so..." I just simply answered.
"BUT I CAN'T GIVE UP MY DAUGHTER ALREADY!! WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE, I DON'T CARE IF HE IS A PRINCE OR NOT!"
I watched him do his little monologue again.
"Haruhi my little flower, don't go!" He said hugging me tightly again.
"But, I am not going anywhere dad," I assured him.
--
Some moments later, somebody knocked on the door, Hikaru and Kaoru got some weapons and hid me and my father under the table.
"Leave it to us," they said in unison and then opened the door carefully, and with a flash of a second, their weapons are at the throats of the visitors.
"Greetings, in the name of the king we are here as messengers." The tall boy in fine clothing and glasses on his eyes said.
"Kyouya..." Hikaru gasped then he and Kaoru put down into their weapons.
"According to information gathered, Fujioka Haruhi is staying here together with her father,"
If there's anything that hadn't changed in Kyouya, it was the fact that he still brings his clipboard with various information written on it. I decided it was time to show up, so I helped myself and my father to get out of our hiding place.
"I'm here," I told him.
"Haruhi, the king has a word for you..." Kyouya said adjusting his glasses.
"Then what is it?" the twins asked in unison.
"The king has been asking for you." Kyouya said with so much seriousness.
"Me...?" I asked.
"Yes, but even if you don't go and present yourself to the king... remember that my private police would always be ready to hunt you down..."
There he is again... using a threat to get what he wants.
"Alright, I won't run away, when is he asking for me?"
"Next week," and then he reached for his pocket "here is some money to fix yourself, the prince wouldn't want ladies who don't know how to fix themselves."
How come I feel so insulted?
"We are expecting you to come," Kyouya said as he rode a beautiful grand couch. And then as the horses start to move we saw his hand sticking out from the couch waving at us. I sighed, the shadow King
--
I felt the cool breeze touched my face as I watched his carriage depart.
Where am I?
How did I get here?
I am now standing at the edge of the mountain, viewing the beautiful country just below it. As I came to this town, lots of events had already happened to me, but realizing this, I seem to have another identity in this place. All I have to do is to figure how to get out of here.
But meeting the king next week would mean that my visit here might just extend.
As I looked back at my father and the twins, they exclaimed in unison: "WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM OF OURAN!"
I smiled back at them. I guess I have to enjoy my stay in this kingdom before I go back to my real world.
(A/N:) Actually I just only thought about this story while typing on my computer. I'm not really serious with this fic so, maybe, It might take me for a long time to update this.
I really love cosplays, that's why I put them in a medieval Europe set-up. Its sooo Kawaii just thinking about it.
I guess you all know who saved Haruhi... poor Haruhi, getting caught in the middle of the battle field. Forgive me, but I don't know the spelling of Umehito Nekozawa's doll...
anyways, review soon! XD
