Chapter 2: Twin Wars!
It was a seemingly harmless day in the host club. It had been ac couple of days since they had gone to visit the concert club, but since then everyone had been trying to up the ante on their hosting to draw back some customers they had lost. The twins had especially taken their twincest to a new level. Late, once again, they ran into the music room and Kaoru swayed slightly. "Hikaru! You push me too hard. I feel faint!" He said dramatically falling against his doppelganger, whom clutched him tightly. "Kaoru! Here, drink some juice. You'll need all your energy for what I have planned for you tonight." He said suggestively, and a group of girls that had gathered squealed. "Too…tired. Hikaru feed me!" Kaoru begged. "You can drink from my lips!" Hikaru declared, taking a large sip of orange juice while ear-splitting shrieks erupted from surrounding girls. Immediately, he spat it out into his brother's face. "Oi! What the hell?!" Kaoru yelled, jumping away from Hikaru. "Not orange juice!" the older twin managed to gasp out while chugging back some water, trying to wash his mouth out. Kaoru took a tentative sip only to spit it out as well. "What the hell is that?!"
"Kraft dinner mix with some water." Came the reply from the host club doors. Hikaru and Kaoru looked up to see the Hayashi twins in the doorway, Hanako nearly hysterical she was laughing so hard. Chouko chuckled quietly. "That's what you get for being creeps!" She said teasingly, before high-fiving her sister and running off.
"Those sketchy twins!" The Hitachiins shouted, trying to run after them but were stopped by a certain shadow king. "Clean up the mess you made and fix the drinks" Kyoya demanded threateningly. They obliged, although grudgingly, while muttering something about revenge.
Haruhi was sitting with Mori and Honey, who had been watching this all unfold. "I have a bad feeling about this..." She murmured, and Honey nodded his agreement before taking an affirmative bite of his strawberry cake.
Time Skip
The Hayashi twins were ecstatic to go to the concert club today, Akemi had promised to leave Oreos for them! That was their favourite kind of cookie. They entered the club and saw a platter piled high with the black-biscuit creamy-center cookies and rushed over. Each taking a large chomp out of one, they froze when instead of creamy goodness they tasted minty fresh toothpaste. "HOW DARE THEY MESS WITH OUR OREOS?!" Hanako shrieked, as she and her sister gulped down glasses of milk. From the other side of the music room doors, the Hitachiin twins snickered while pocketing a tube of toothpaste and strolling away.
Back at the host club
"Guys, I think this could get out of hand. Maybe you should stop and call it even?" Haruhi suggested, looking at the shady twins.
"Don't worry about it Haruhi! We got them so good; they wouldn't dare mess with us again!" They said simultaneously. "Well, alright then..." The host club doors opened and Tamaki sprung forward, surprising the two girls who were momentarily blinded by the white light.
"Jeez you guys are going to hurt someone one day with that light of yours!" Hanako complained, blinking and trying to clear her vision.
"What do you want?" Hikaru and Kaoru accused, but Hanako held up her hands defensively. "It's not like that! We just wanted to call a truce. You know, before this got out of hand." Chouko stepped out behind her dark haired sister, holding a platter for caramel apples.
"Consider a peace offering" The Hayashi twins side in sync, grinning widely. Tamaki brought them into a bone crushing hug. "What sweet twins you are! Nothing like those shady twins over there! Please my lovely princesses, come join us this afternoon!"
"Sorry, we have stuff to do back at our club. We'll see you around!" They winked and walked out.
Honey, who had been bouncing the entire time in his sweet beside Mori suddenly leapt up and grabbed a candy apple. "It's not cake but its sweet!" He shouted happily, taking a large bite out of at the same time that Tamaki did. They both froze, and let the apples fall to the floor.
"THEY'VE POISONED US!" Tamaki shrieked, falling to the floor and clutching his throat. Honey started crying and Mori picked him up while the twins inspected the so-called poisoned apples. "They're onions, not apples." They said angrily. "Peace offering our asses! THIS MEANS WAR!"
Haruhi sweat-dropped "This is definitely going to get out of hand now…"
"This better not cost me anything." Kyoya warned the Hitachiins menacingly. "They started it!" They shouted in return, before running off.
Time Skip
"I wonder when Akemi will be back!" Hanako said, skipping beside Chouko. "Well she did say either tomorrow or the day after. But she almost always ends up staying away longer than she's meant to." The girls pushed open the doors to Music Room #8 and stopped in their tracks. Anything and everything that could be picked up was now stuck to the ceiling of the room by duct tape. Their jaws hung open when they heard from behind them, "Careful, you'll catch flies if you keep standing their like that!" Hikaru and Kaoru taunted while sauntering away. "SHADY TWINS!" Hanako and Chouko shouted, running into the room to begin taking everything down.
"Akemi is going to kill us if she sees this!" "If I see wh— oh for the love of all that is sane in this world, what have you two done now!?" "It wasn't us! It was those shady twins from the host club! They did this!" "Who did this?" Neikan asked, walking up behind Akemi. "We just said who it was, shit-for-brains!" Hanako said angrily but was elbowed by her sister.
"Just get everything down before it hurts someone." Akemi said wearily, walking out of the room. Neikan looks at us for a second. "I don't know why you hate me so much." He mutters, stalking out after Akemi. "You know why." Hanako muttered back, but shut her mouth when Akemi popped her head back in. "Don't retaliate Hanako. Seriously, this is going to get out of hand." "It hasn't already?" Chouko asked, bewildered.
Nearly an hour later Hanako and Chouko had managed to get almost everything down off the ceiling. That's when the club doors burst open, and in strode Tamaki dragging the Hitachiin twins and Akemi with Neikan behind them. "Alright listen up you shady and sketchy twins! This has gone on long enough and someone is going to get hurt if this keeps up! So all of you have to apologise to each other and stop this treachery at once!" Tamaki demanded, Akemi nodding beside him. "We don't have to do what you say; you're not the boss of us." Chouko pointed out. "Well I'm telling you to apologise and knock it off." Akemi retorted. "But boss!" The two sets of twins whined simultaneously, so loudly that whole room seemed to reverberate with the sound.
There was a suction cup sound, and everyone looked up to see a particularly heavy vase plummeting towards the King of the host club. "Watch out!" the twins shouted, but Akemi was the one who was closest and pushed Tamaki out of the way, the vase smashing to the ground behind them a split second later. Because of the force of the push, the two lost their balance and fell onto the floor, Akemi on top of Tamaki. It was silent for a moment.
"Darling Kitten! You saved my life!" He shouted, clutching Akemi into a choking hug. "You risked your own dear precious life for my own, how could I ever repay you!" "You could let her go." Neikan spoke, the anger barely contained in his voice. Tamaki let go and stood up, offering his hand to Akemi only to have Neikan knock it away and grab Akemi by the wrist and tug her upwards. "That settles it then, you can all get out now."
"Not quite, that vase must have been expensive. What does the host club owe you?" Kyoya said, suddenly appearing beside Tamaki like the shadow king he is.
"Nothing, we don't work in debts and blackmail here." Akemi said firmly, and Kyoya turned on his heels before leaving once again in a puff of smoke (not really, he used the door.)
"Didn't I tell you all to get out?" Neikan said in a low voice, and the two pairs of twins nodded vigorously before dashing out after Tamaki, away from the dark aura that was emitting from the other boy.
He didn't even wait for the door to shut before whirling around to glare at Akemi, who stared back defiantly. "What the fuck was that?" He demanded.
"I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Wrong! Nothing wrong? Are you as stupid as you look? You were all over that blonde brat!"
"I was pushing him out of the way! Are you insane? It was an accident!"
"Sure it was! It's always an accident with you! Next thing I'm going to hear is that you 'accidentally' fell into some boy's lips!"
"You are out of your god damn mind! If anyone has any reason to be suspicious it's me! You're always spending time with other girls after club hours, coming home late! But I never question it! I even let that one time go because you said it was a mistake!"
"I only made that mistake because you're such a fucking prude! If you would just loosen up a little I wouldn't be so tempted by other prettier girls!" Neikan raged and Akemi's face turned scarlet with anger.
"Get out. Now."
"You are not the—"
But Akemi had already gone out the other exit, slamming the door behind her. "Fucking bitch." Neikan muttered, slumping down onto a couch.
From outside Music Room #8, Tamaki and two sets of twins slipped away before they were caught eavesdropping.
