'Till Death Do We Part: Chapter 1
I didn't sign up for this…I take a deep breath, glancing up to the light pink building. Slipping my hands out of the pockets on my uniform pants, I stretch my arms upwards with a yawn. A few students gave us odd looks, obviously wondering why a girl was wearing a boy's uniform. My mouth twitches up in a smirk. I'd leave it up to their imaginations. I turn to look at my sister. "Are we sure about this, Mikazuki?"
"Well it's about time we got out of the house." she says turning to me with a smile, some of her light brown hair falling into her eyes. "Come on Kagame, we'll be fine!"
"Yeah, right." I turn my head to face the pink building yet again. "I don't see why we have to go anyway…"
She gives me a dry look. "you do realize that we haven't left our house in three years, with the exception of your martial arts classes right?"
"My point remains!"
"No it doesn't…"
I stick out my tongue and pull down my left eye lid.
The bell rings, and Mikazuki elbows me in the side. "come on we'll be late!"
"I don't wanna!"
She grabs my wrist and drags me behind her. It takes no more than three minutes to get into the building… suffice to say, it takes a lot longer than that to find our classroom.
"Damn rich people…" I mutter under my breath.
"You realize we're rich… Right?"
"No shit, Sherlock…"
She sighs "language, Kagame."
I move to stick out my tongue her, but as is typical of twins, she predicts my movements and lightly swats the back of my head. "look we're here"
I glance at the class sign and sigh. "I still don't see why we can't be in the same class as Hunny and Mori."
"Because they're three years older than us." She says in exasperation. "they said they'd meet us after class."
"Ugh fine!"
We make our way into the classroom, and stand at the front waiting to see where we should sit. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I jump about a foot into the air and two backwards.
The teacher gives me an odd look. "you two can sit over there." He says with a nervous smile. He points to two empty seats in the back left corner of the classroom. Mikazuki and I walk over as fast as we can and sit down. I know that I should probably be figuring out who my class mates are, but I ignore the conscience that's telling me to socialize. Who needs it right?
After a few hours of class time, lunch rolls around. The lunch room is absolutely huge, and full of people. Mikazuki and I order and promptly leave to eat elsewhere. We walk around with our trays. The first door we open we find a brown haired boy sitting on the floor eating out of a small bento box. We give a polite bow and hurriedly leave that room to him.
It takes ten or so, more minutes to find an empty room. We sit down to eat, and I look at my conversation buddy and twin. Unlike what you might think, we're not Identical twins. Rather We're fraternal. Our faces look the same but our eyes and hair are much different. That and Zuki is a few inches taller than me. Damn her tallness… I think angrily.
"language, Kagame…"
"I didn't say anything!"
Zuki rolls her eyes.
Anyway, the largest difference between the two of us,besides her height, is our hair. Hers is light brown and decidedly short. Although, when the sun hits it just the right way it glows like rose-gold, just like mine, but lighter.
Mine however, is much closer to burgundy and much longer. I
pull some of it into my face to analyze it. Most would simply see a very VERY dark brown. But if you look closer you would notice an almost red sheen.
I stuff some more food into my mouth, and soon we're both done and heading back to put away our trays. Then it's onto the classroom.
More classes, then schools over for the day. I lean on the door frame of our class room, waiting for Hunny and Mori to come get us. They said they would so here we were. I reach into my satchel, grabbing the gloves that I always keep there, and slip the black fabric over my hands. I look at what Mikazuki is doing. She's drawing, I can already tell what it is. I put my head on the wall behind me, deciding to not make myself feel even worse about my drawing skills.
"Mika-Chan! Kaga-Chan!" I hear Hunny's voice from down the hall.
In a matter of seconds, Mikazuki has put away her drawing materials and is on her feet next to me. Hunny goes to hug her immediately, with Mori standing a few feet away. Hunny turns to me and pauses, until I open my arms. He gives me a quick hug and backs away.
"you guys ready to go?" he inquires tilting his head to the side.
"go where?" I respond casually.
"the host club!" Hunny shouts.
My eyes widen and start twitching, host club?! What the hell is a host club doing in ouran?! And why were Hunny and Mori going?!
"Is that really a good Idea?" Zuki asks with an arched eyebrow, having already noticed that I put my gloves on. "I mean… It doesn't sound like a good idea for us…"
"you won't have to be guests." Hunny revises. "you could just serve the food, or take pictures for Kyoya!"
I take a deep breath, gathering my courage. "we… We'll give it a shot…" a long pause sets in and I realize what I just said. I slap a hand over my mouth before removing it to shout. "BUTONLYFORTODAY!" I yell.
They all stare in Shock.
"WHAT?!" I Blurt.
The entire group looks at me as if I've grown a second head.
"It's just… It's not like you…" Zuki says her eyes wide.
"You were gonna make me do it anyway…" I mutter.
"Well WE knew that…" Zuki confirms.
"YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO ADMIT IT!" I blare, throwing my hands up into the air.
Hunny, the little traitor grins at me. From the look in Mori's eyes I can tell He's happy too. I stick my tongue out at them. They ignore me and start walking.
We walk up and down multiple sets of stairs, through outside a bit, until Finally we make it to the top floor of the south wing, at the very end of the north hallway. Standing in front of us are a set of truly massive double doors. The pink doors with gold handles stand dauntingly before us. Mikazuki grabs the handle and opens the door to a white light and a flurry of rose petals. Two of which manage to get lodged in our gaping mouths, one in mine the other in Zuki's. We pull out the rose petals and begin coughing violently.
"Who might you be my princesses?" a tall boy with blonde hair glides towards us. I move to take a step forwards, but Zuki once again predicts this and pins my foot to the floor with hers.
Hunny comes to save us from the approaching weirdo.
"These are our Friends, Tama-Chan!" he says stepping in front of us.
"Hey, aren't you guys in our class?" two red heads that might have been in our class ask. I probably should have paid more attention…
"Uh… Yup!" Zuki says.
They walk up and simultaneously stick out their hands for us to shake. "Hikaru" one of them starts
"and Kaoru" the other says.
"Hitachiin" they finish together
I look at their hands nervously before me and Zuki grab them and shake any way. I glance her way and we make a plan.
"Mikazuki" she starts.
"And Kagame" I go next.
"Murasaki" we finish together.
Suddenly it seems as if both sets of twins at once realize who the others are.
"Wait, Hitachiin?!"
"Wait, Murasaki?!"
We all did a double take. "as in Hitachiin fashions?!"
"as in Murasaki Films?!"
"I love your families work!" we all scream (well Zuki and I did most of the screaming…) at each other.
"your family has done a lot of work on our family's films!" Zuki Says Happily.
"I loved their work on Saigonotatakai: Saigo wa kochira, the outfits Katsume wore were so accurate to her character!" I say a huge smile on my face. "I honestly thought that they made her character too hard to find a style for."
"yeah, actually our mother found it difficult as well. She actually asked us to help her." The one who I remember as Kaoru says with a half-smile.
"Anyway!" Hunny says with a smile. "Kyo-Chan, Mika-Chan and Kaga-Chan have to stay here until Takashi and I leave. Kaga-Chan has to do her martial arts lessons after school."
"Well they can't stay, unless they decide to be customers." The boy with the glasses says, his glasses glinting creepily in an unknown light.
"couldn't they help out in the club?" hunny says pulling some puppy dog eyes. "free of charge?"
The boy's glasses glint in an unknown light. "no."
"but mommy!" the tall blonde one yells.
Wait, mommy? I hold back a snicker
"I suppose they could serve our guests…"
"speaking of which our guests are about to arrive! get into position everyone!" the Tall one yells.
The tall one with the glasses, who I would assume is Kyoya points to what I would assume is the kitchen. "go into the kitchen, I'll meet you in there to tell you what to do once we greet our guests.
We nod and head to the kitchen. It doesn't take long for Kyoya to enter. He gives us a long spiel about what to do. Mainly, be polite, don't draw attention to yourselves, and try to keep the sweets away from Hunny Senpai. Yeah like we were going to have sooooooo much success with that. We set up the trays and head out to something I definitely DID NOT sign up for.
