And to explain the name, Rei's life and her feelings are going to get really messed up so that's why it's called Twisted! Enjoy and please review and tell me what you think! ^^
It was early, the suns rays beaming in from the windows, warming the floor in the living room. I slipped my shiny black shoes on and push my now almost hip-length dark chocolate brown hair out of my eyes. My Irish green eyes flicked down and grimaced at the time blinking on my mobile's screen. I threw my satchel strap over my shoulder and bounded to the door.
I jumped off the last step and stopped dead when I looked up. A sleek black Rolls Royce with a tall slim young man leaning against it. His dark eyes glinted from behind his glasses and I grinned, running forward and giving him a peck on the cheek.
"Rei." He said quietly and smiled, getting into the car after me. I stretched and flopped my head down on the table, grumbling.
"Day still not over… too tired… want to go home…" I mumbled to myself and snapped my head up, sneakily glancing back at the red haired devilish twins laughing with a classmate at the back of the classroom. I scanned around, my sister Haruhi had already left to return some books to the library. I stuffed the books in my bag and stood up, inconspicuously walking towards the door trying not to rush. I made it into the corridor and started to make my dash when a set of hands grasped the collar of my uniform.
"And where do you think you're going Rei-Rei?" A pair of smooth voice asked tauntingly and I whined.
"Noooo! I want to go home! I don't want to go to the club!" I complained as they dragged me along. I watched with a pout as my escape exit moved further away.
"No ditching club." Hikaru reminded me cheerfully and I glowered at him.
"I'll eat you one day…" I said darkly and he laughed, only causing me to glower more.
"That my dear, is cannibalism, and how would Kyoya feel if his girlfriend was eating people?" I heard his emphasis on the word girlfriend and clamped my mouth closed, allowing them to pull me into Music Room 3. There were no flustered female customers being seduced by the group of handsome young men who called themselves a 'host club' at the moment.
When the twins didn't let go I wailed and started flailing my arms about. "Let me go!" I howled and a raging blonde storm flew over and smashed them both over the head.
"Hikaru! Kaoru! You let my darling little sister go this instant!" The host club 'king', Tamaki commanded and out of shock, the twins released me. I plopped to the floor and grumbled, neatening my collar while shooting glares towards them.
"My dearest Rei, are you alright?" Tamaki bent down beside me with sincere but worried eyes.
"I'm fine, grumpy but fine." I assured him and he beamed thankfully bounding back to his white board covered in a scribbles. I wandered over, examining the board and cringed when I started to understand what was written.
"Tamaki, what on earth is this?" I asked and he chuckled happily.
"This my lovely Rei, is operation Happy New Year!" He started laughing and spinning around, lost in his own little world and I raised an eyebrow.
"It's basically a plan to make this year the best one ever." Kaoru explained as he slid over to stare sceptically at the king with me.
We exchanged a look and sighed. "I still can't believe this whack job is our leader."
"Funny how the world works?" He smile and we rolled our eyes as Haruhi entered the room and was swamped by Tamaki's loving, but unwanted, hugs.
I slumped into one of the bloody red lounges and gazed about the room from behind one of the arms. It was surprisingly quiet, on the other side of the room Tamaki and the twins were discussing things and occasionally pointing out something on the whiteboard, Honey was sitting with Mori-senpai eating his own weight in cakes, my sister had her head buried in homework at a different table. The only one missing was my… boyfriend.
I sighed and rolled onto my back, covering my face with my hands to hide my stained pink cheeks. I still wasn't used to the idea that Kyoya was my boyfriend. Haruhi was certainly surprised when I had told her, I didn't usually go for labels like 'girlfriend'.
"Besides your love life has been rather lacking for…. Well forever." She had said when we were discussing it in the kitchen. I had grimaced, I'd never had a boyfriend before, I used to think they were overrated and I never had any time to think about love. Then Kyoya came along and well, literally swept me off my feet. My hand left my face and I stared up at the high ceiling, my brow furrowed.
Lately the aspect of romance seemed to be missing, Kyoya being Kyoya didn't have a lot of spare time and I usually only saw him at the club. Now don't get me wrong, I idea that he's cheating or avoiding me has never crossed my mind, I can at least trust my own heart to stay true.
But still, I missed him. That longing would always creep up when I let my guard down, I tried to fend it off but it snared me.
So much had happened since I had returned to Japan. It was a few months after my, though I hate to admit it, extremely stupid incident in London. We had returned, everything had been smoothly taken care of and life had returned to normal.
I was still grounded though, Dad finally decided to act like a real parent and punish me, one of the other reasons I hadn't seen Kyoya out of school. Dad was thankful to him for getting me back but had started giving him the cold shoulder when I told him about us dating. Haruhi had forgiven me but all talk about London was forbidden in the house.
I bobbed my head back and forth from my spot strewn across the lounge, a song playing in my head.
I haven't written anything new lately, I should go inspiration hunting, I thought with a small smile and my eyes drifted closed as I sung quietly along to the song.
Three quiet knocks came from the door but I ignored them. I heard the door creak open and I heard my sister's soft gasp. My eyes fluttered open and I sat up, locking eyes with the tall ash-haired figure leaning against the door frame. A smile played on my lips and I bounced to my feet and over to the door leaping into the boy's arms.
"Rou!" I sang and he smiled down at me, his white teeth shining.
"Hey beautiful." He replied and I rolled my eyes giving him a soft 'tut'.
Ichirou Yoshida, or Rou as I called him, was still the same despite us not seeing each other in months. He had been there in London and we'd only gotten a glimpse of each other before I was whisked back to Japan. I hadn't realized how much I missed my best friend.
"What are you doing here?" I asked slowly, my eyes fixed on the light blue Ouran blazer he was wearing, the black and purple tie tied loosely around his neck.
"Rou…." I said quietly and he gave me an impish grin, taking a few steps back.
"Well… you see… I've just transferred to Ouran Academy!" He said hastily, grinning at me.
I glared back at him. "And why didn't you tell me about this beforehand?"
His smile dropped and he took another step back. "Maybe you didn't notice darling, but we haven't talked since that night."
At this, Haruhi's surprise dropped and she stared at me hardly. "Rei? What night? What have you been doing behind Kyoya's back?"
Appalled, my jaw dropped. "Nothing! I swear to the lord above, nothing!" I turned my head to Rou. "Your words are twisting up the truth!"
He shrugged. "Not my problem. Now if we can get to the point, I need your help with something, that's why I'm here."
I gave his playful smile a wary look. "Help with what?" He stuck a hand into his bag and pulled out a booklet of sheets that read Reproduction with innocent eyes.
My shoulders sagged in disbelief and I raised my eyebrows. "You need help with your Biology homework?" He nodded and I sighed incredulity. There was no predicting Rou.
I paused and looked at him again. "When you said that's why you were here, did you mean here as in the club room or…"
"Here as in Ouran Academy!" He said happily and grinned at my skeptical expression.
"You changed schools because you wanted me to do your homework?" I couldn't believe it; it was insane even for Rou.
"But isn't it great? We can see each other everyday now! I'm in your class by the way!" He was ecstatic and was bobbing up and down on the spot, he often reminded me of a giant puppy.
I sighed again, suddenly feeling exhausted and gestured towards the table where Haruhi had been sitting. "Fine, just hurry up- this day has been one surprise after another." I slumped into the seat and grabbed his booklet, scanning over the writing. As I read and started to answer questions he prattled on, talking about anything and everything.
"So I was thinking, this club is pretty cool- maybe I could join?" This broke my concentration and I stared at him, not sure if he was serious.
"That is a brilliant idea!" A singsong voice called out and Haruhi and I groaned as Tamaki danced over to us, his face alight.
"I can see it now! He'd be our charismatic adventure boy! Daring and jovial!" Tamaki was on cloud nine and Rou smiled politely at him as he bent down to grab his hands.
"Would you do it? Would you be our newest host?" His puppy dog eyes came out and I gave Rou my best 'oh well' shrug. Rou nodded once with a grin and Tamaki cried out in joy, skipping about the clubroom singing in French. I rolled my eyes but started laughing, he was ridiculous.
"I guess this means we'll be even closer than before." Rou leaned over and whispered in my ear, his impish grin back.
I mumbled a reply and he looked away. I watched his eyes, there was something else hiding in them, victory perhaps? Ambition? But for what? I pushed the concerns out of my head and returned to the work, things were about to get even wilder than before.
