Tamaki walked into the ballroom looking around at all of the guests and holding two beautifully wrapped gifts, one with orange ribbon and the other with blue.
"I'll take those Master Suoh" a maid called to him as she reached for the packages.
"Ah yes, thank you princess" He said smiling at her in his princely way.
"Tamaki the maids here won't fall for your seduction," said two deadpan voices from behind him.
Tamaki whipped around to see the two twins, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachin watching him with bored eyes, a crown on each of their heads.
"I was not seducing the beautiful maid, I was simply saying thank you to her. Happy birthday by the way you two, its a very nice party" Tamaki said looking around at the ballroom.
"Thanks" They said slightly bored.
"Tama-chan! Hika-chan! Kao-chan!" A childlike voice called out. The three boys turned to look and saw a small boy heading towards them, with one very tall boy, and a slightly shorter boy with glasses following.
"About time you showed up Tamaki" The one with glasses called out.
"Ah, Kyoya, I was simply having a dicussion with my maid about what to wear, she said this would do while I wanted to wear something more, outstanding" Tamaki called back to his best friend while the twins waved to the other two boys.
"Hello Honey-senpai, Mori-Senpai" They said together.
"Hello!" The small blonde one called back, smiling happily at them"
"Hn" The tallest one said, nodding at them.
"Hika-chan! What's that stage for?" The small blonde one asked one of the twins.
"It's for the entertainment, and one of our gifts Honey-senpai," The twin answered back.
"one of your gifts? what gift is so big that it needs the whole stage?"
"Ah Tamaki, that's the surprise" The group of boys turned to look at the girl heading their way.
The girl smiled at all of them and stopped next to the twins. They moved to either side of her and kissed her cheeks.
"Ah Miss Hitachiin, pleasure to see you" Kyoya called out smiling at her.
"Kyoya Miss Hitachiin is our mother, I'm the same age as you, call me by my name," the girl said rolling her eyes at the boy and smiling.
"My mistake Ayaki. Won't happen again" Kyoya said as the girl walked towards him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"It's good to see you Ayaki" Tamaki said as the girl hugged and kissed his cheek.
"You too, all of you. it's been so long since I've been back home, you've all gotten taller. Especially you Mori-Senpai" Ayaki said stretching on her tiptoes to reach the taller boys cheek.
"Mm" He grunted back as he leaned down to help her reach.
"Hey what about me Aya-chan?" Honey called at her pouting slightly.
"I could never forget you Honey-senpai" The girl called leaning down to kiss his cheek and smiling brightly at him.
"So Ayaki, when did you get back home?" Kyoya asked the girl.
"A few days ago, but i didn't tell anyone besides my manager. I wanted a few days alone with my brothers to catch up," She said smiling at the twins.
"She never misses our birthday" The twins called out smiling back at her.
"Of course not, I would never hear the end of it from you two, or our parents" The girl said rolling her eyes. "Well boys, it's almost time for the big present. The adults have left to the other ballroom." She started to make her way to the doors, after a few steps she turned back and smiled at the twins "i would get close to the stage you two"
With that she made her way quickly out the doors and disappeared from sight.
"I don't know why she does that whole surprise thing, she always sings on our birthday. We know its coming" Hikaru said grabbing his brothers hand and heading towards the stage.
"Yeah, but it makes her feel secretive" Kaoru said back to him stopping next to the stage and looking over at the group of guys. "Get over here you guys! Ayaki will be mad if you're not here too"
The boys looked at each other and finally, after seeing Tamaki heading over, deciding to follow the twins and stand around them.
"if all teenage guests could please make their way to the stage for the entertainment of the night, thank you" One of the butlers called into a microphone grabbing everyone's attention. The murmur of the guests grew louder as they all walked to the stage, giving the group of boys a few feet of space. The male guest began talking louder, knowing what was coming from previous parties.
The band started to play a song none of them had heard before and the curtains pulled back to reveal Ayaki in a ripped up red tutu, fishnet stockings, a deep red tanktop, and a small black leather jacket. Her hair was pulled up into two pigtails on her head and she moved her feet slightly to the beat of the song.
"I've got a feeling that it's gonna be alright, We don't know where we're goin' and I don't know where I'm at," Ayuki started singing, one of her hands moving out to point at the twins.
"I'm kinda thinkin' I don't like nobody else,
You know whatever happens, I will be right by your side," she moved her other hand out and dancers ran onto the stage as the music picked up speed.
"You, me in the spotlight,
Running around till the end of the night,
Hot, hot keep it comin',
We can rock out till the early morning,
You, me, going all night,
We don't care who's wrong and who's right,
Hot, hot, keep it comin',
We can rock out till the early morning," Ayuki sang out leaning down to set her mic on the stage. She looked back at the dancers and started to dance along with them.
"Everybody's dancin' dancin' crazy,
And we never stop, never stop," She sang out as she turned her head so we could see the wireless microphone on her ear.
"Everybody's ragin', ragin' crazy,
Put your hands up, Put your hands up" She said moving her hands up into the air smiling as the crowd of teenagers started to dance to the music.
"I like you and you like me,
We get together and we're happy,
Did you hear me say that?
Did you, did you, did you hear me say that?
Snap!" She called her hands together with the dancers running around on the stage.
"And I like the way that we kiss,
You and me together like this," She sang out blowing a kiss to the twins and winking at the group of guys.
"Did you hear me say that?
Did you, did you, did you hear me say that?
Snap!" This time the crowd clapped with her.
"Another night,
And so just crank that music up,
We don't know where we're goin',
And I don't know where I'm at,
It doesn't matter cause we always know what's up,
I know whatever happens,
You will be right by my side," She reached her hands down and pulled the twins onstage with her. She slowed the dancemoves down so the twins could dance with her on the stage.
"You, me in the spotlight,
Running around till the end of the night,
Hot, hot, keep it comin',
We can rock out till the early morning,
You, me, going all night,
We don't care who's wrong and who's right,
Hot, hot, keep it comin',
We can rock out till the early morning," She followed the twins around on the stage dancing with them singing happily.
"Everybody's dancin', dancin' crazy,
And we never stop, never stop,
Everybody's ragin', ragin' crazy,
Put your hands up,
Put your hands up" The twins followed her lead and moved their hands up.
"I like you and you like me,
We get together and we're happy,
Did you hear me say that?
Did you, did you, did you hear me say that?
Snap!" The three siblings clapped their hands together with the crowd.
"And I like the way that we kiss,
You and me together like this," The twins leaned forward and kissed her cheeks, she smiled at them and moved towards the crowd.
"Did you hear me say that?
Did you, did you, did you hear me say that?
Snap!" She smacked her hands together infront of the group of boys and winked as she moved back helping the twins back down from the stage.
"Oh, oh, uh, oh," She sang as the crowd started to calm down and the twins wnet back to standing next to the group of boys.
"Everybody's dancin', dancin' crazy,
And we never stop, we never stop,
Everybody's ragin', ragin' crazy,
Put your hands up, Put your hands up," She held out the last note as the dancers moved back behind her and she moved with them to the dance.
"Everybody's dancin', dancin' crazy,
And we never stop, we never stop,
Everybody's ragin', ragin' crazy,
Put your hands up,
Put your hands up,
I like you and you like me,
We get together and we're happy,
Did you hear me say that?
Did you, did you, did you hear me say that?
Snap!" She clapped her hands together again with the crowd as the dancers all moved off the stage from different sides.
"And I like the way that we kiss,
You and me together like this,
Did you hear me say that?
Did you, did you, did you hear me say that?
Snap!" She blew one last kiss at the crowd and smacked a final time as the last notes of the song played out.
She smiled big and bowed as the crowd clapped loudly and cheered for her. "Thank you! Thank you!" She called out waving her hands at the crowd. "i would like to give a very big happy birthday to my two brothers, Hikaru and Kaoru!"
The crowd clapped again as she jumped off the stage and hugged the twins. someone turned off her microphone and the DJ turned his music back up.
"I love you guys, you know that right?" She said to the twins as they all moved away from the stage.
"Of course sis," They said together as they all sat at a table, the guys following them and sitting down too.
"I really do care about you two, and all of you" She said turning her head to look at the rest of the table. "I just can't be here as often as I want to be. Being a singer has it's ups and downs. But I promise, no matter what I will always be home for the big stuff."
The twins smiled at her and nodded their heads. A few guests moved towards Ayuki, holding out tiny notebooks and pens for her to sign. As she turned her head away to sign them, the boys looked at the twins and saw them glaring at the floor.
"Come on Hika-Chan! Kao-Chan! Time for more presents!" Honey called to them grabbing Hikarus hand and pulling him away from the table.
"Hn" Mori said picking up Kaoru and following Honey to the tables of presents. Tamaki stood up and followed them as well, leaving Kyoya to look after the singer.
"i believe that is enough," Kyoya called out the the people starting to form a crowd around Ayuki. The crowd murmured and quickly moved away from the tempered teen.
"Oh Kyoya they weren't doing any harm," Ayuki said signing on last notebook and sending the girl on her way.
"I beg to differ, your brothers seemed very annoyed with how your attention was no longer on them," Kyoya said moving to sit closer to the girl.
"They want all of my attention whenever I come home. I just can't give it all to them, I have other things that have to be done," She said looking up at the dark haired teen.
"I know, but they don't get to see you that often and whenever they can they get jealous." He said grabbing her hand.
"Soon all of that will be over. How are the plans coming along with our families?" She said smiling.
"Good, the terms for engagement have been set by your family and mine just has to set ours. Soon you won't have to worry about being a singer away from your family," Kyoya said kissing her hand.
"I love singing, I love everything about it, but if it hurts my brothers this much, I won't do it. My brothers come first" She said blinking at him.
"Of course, my dear"
