"Haruhi!" Kaoru sang, jumping up from his desk and practically dancing over to the boy. Haruhi looked up and gave him a bland look. "What?" he asked, just before Kaoru smooshed his face against the boy's. Hikaru quickly joined the two and did the same as his brother, Haruhi looking grumpy the entire time.
"Can our toy please help run things with the new girls and us? Pretty please? You can bring that commoner's coffee to keep us up if we need to," they said together.
Haruhi looked back and forth between the two. "If I agree will you go away?" he asked boredly. Amazing how someone could stand being friends with those two, especially that boy.
The twins immediately nodded and grinned, releasing Haruhi. "Thank you Haruhi!" They chorused before returning quickly to their seats and grinning at the girls. "She'll do it," they said together.
Lilac and Lillian looked at each other before they smiled and began to laugh. "You two are odd," Lilac said. "Very weird," Lillian nodded, agreeing completely with her sister. Lilac turned around in her seat and the boys scooted their tables closer to the girls, and they began to plan.
A/N: Haha I'm really into this story so the words are just ... like ... Flowing out of me :) Enjoy!
Lillian POV
The rest of the day passed smoothly after that. Lillian only had a few classes with Lilac, which made her a bit depressed, but she always made sure to get to her sister's classroom immediately after class ended so that the sweeter, younger girl wouldn't get into any trouble with anyone. People had a tendency to pick on and bully her just because she was so vulnerable and innocent, which was exactly why Lillian was there.
Lilac had made plenty of friends througout the day, and this Lillian could see. The girl was less cautious about who she became friends with than Lillian, which always irked her to no end. At least with the 'friends' she'd made they'd probably protect her from any potential bullies, if only to save the fact that they wanted an extremely rich friend.
Sadly, Lillian had nearly every single class with Hikaru, which irritated the crap out of her. The only up was that he helped her in math since Lilac wasn't in there to assist her. The idiot was actually kind of smart academic wise, she thought to herself. She had only made a few friend other than Hikaru and Kaoru - she supposed she could call them friend - and knew she could trust those people with many things, because she had done a thorough check on them and how trusting they were.
Currently, she and Lilac were walking towards Music Room Three, having asked for directions there from one of Lilac's friends. As they walked, Lilac chattered about her day and asked question about Lillian's when she didn't offer her own detail on her own. The girl was sweet almost to a fault, Lillian thought with an inward sigh as they approached the doors to the music room. Odd, those twins hadn't struck her as the musical type, but who knew? People could turn out to be entirely different then what they made them appear to be.
Grasping the handle of the door, she pulled it open, and a shower of rose petals and a blinding light appeared. She waited until it disappeared and blinked, stunned, at what she saw when she could see.
Four boys that she didn't know plus Haruhi - who she'd gotten to know over the day - Hikaru, and Kaoru were there, all dressed as what could only be vampire. She made a bored expression on her face, but immediately grew defensive as he sister cowered behind her and a tall, blonde - and admittedly sexy - idiot came charging at them. Her hand rose and came directly into contact with the boy's face and he stopped with a soft sound of surprise and pain. "Shut up," she said, his rattling about their beauty having begun to annoy her. "You annoy me, and you're scaring my sister, you freak," she finished. The idiot stood there for another moment before scuttling over into a corner, whimpering and sulking there. Haruhi went over and began to console him and she rolled her eyes, before turning to face the room.
"Looks like boss not only got turned down by one girl," she heard Kaoru start.
"But by two beautiful twins!" Hikaru finished. The boys both held onto each other dramatically, chortling with their laughter and almost on the floor with it.
Hikaru and Kaoru were admittedly sexy, but her eyes were for Hikaru and Hikaru alone. It was odd; all sets of twins could tell other twins apart. It was almost a hereditary thing all twins gained, whether their twin was alive or not. She felt her lips begin to twitch and immediately jerked her attention away from Hikaru so that she didn't begin to blush. Luckily, at that exact moment, a small blonde boy - what the Hell was he doing in the highschool? - darted up to the, a tall, black-haired, silent male not far behind.
"Do you like cake? I like cake, and so does Usa-chan! Do you want to eat cake with Usa-chan and me?" the small blonde-haired boy exclaimed excitedly, thrusting a pink stuffed bunny at them. Lillian smiled; he was little a cutey, and both her and Lilac were immediately captured by him.
"Of course I'll eat cake with you!" her sister cried.
"Yay!" The boy shouted. His hand reached up and grabbed hers and he quickly led her in the direction of a table filled with sweets, leaving Lillian alone to ponder what exactly was going on. She didn't have much time to do so, however, when another black-haired male walked over, this one with glasses. He held a black book on his arm and a pen and used his finger to push up his glasses, which glinted with sunlight.
"Can I help you, my dear?" he asked her softly.
Lillian smiled. "Can you please explain to me what exactly this room is all about? Kaoru and Hikaru asked Lilac and me to come here today and we honestly have no idea what we've gotten ourselves into," she explained, looking relieved that the boy had approached her.
"Well, my name is Kyoya Ootori, but you may call me Kyoya-Senpei. The blonde idiot that was sulking in the corner was Tamaki-Senpei, the blonde boy you just saw is Honey-Senpei, and his shadow was Mori-Senpei. I think I'll leave it to Hikaru and Kaoru to explain what's going on to you, however," the boy, Kyoya, said.
Lillian shrugged and nodded, tugging at her frilly dress sleeves annoyedly as she followed him in the direction of some couches. He then left her there, practically abandoning her, and she sat down with a huff. A swarm of girls from the school began to trickle into the room and she grimaced, keeping her eyes on her sister until, out of nowhere, Kaoru and Hikaru appeared, Hikaru dropping onto the seat beside her and Kaoru on the couch across.
They began to entertain their own guests and Lillian nibbled on some vanilla and strawberry cake, sipping tea off and on, waiting for her turn to ask the boys what was happening. It was annoying, really, the way they pretended to be something they weren't in front of those girls just to entertain them and their moods. When the time came, she lowered her tea daintily to the table and she smiled a little.
"So, you two conned us into coming here. I believe it's due time for you both to explain what's going on here," she said softly, her eyes narrowed a bit.
Hikaru POV
"Haruhi, my daughter!" Tamaki sang as Haruhi entered Music Room Three. "The twins have the absolute best costume yet for you. You are putting it on, and this instance!"
"That's not happening, Tamaki," Haruhi answered blandly as she approached the teacups. She snatched one and made her instant-coffee before taking a sip and setting it back down on the table. Immediately she was snatched up by Tamaki and he twirled her around. "My darling Haruhi! You cannot deny your love for clothing! I shall get you in a dress yet!" he cried, making his way over to the twins and the dummy they had standing up between them with a struggling Haruhi in his arms.
"Sensei! Put me down now, please!" Haruhi grumbled, struggling against Tamaki's arms. "I'm not putting that dress on and that's final!"
Today's theme was vampires and they were currently trying to get Haruhi to agree to dress in a Vampire Queen dress. It was black with lacy sleeves and would end at her knees, with an upside down red V that went from her waistline to the bottom of the skirt. As usual, they probably wouldn't succeed and getitng her into it, so Hikaru merely stored there looking bored, his hands stuffed into his pockets.
Sure, he cared about Haruhi, probably more than he should, but it was obvious that she cared about Tamaki in that way and that Tamaki cared about her the same. Even if they were too stubborn to admit it, he thought dryly. He ran his hand through his hair and shook his head, watching as Kaoru joined Tamaki in trying to convince the girl with a cross-dressing problem to agree to wear the dress. Yeah, he wanted to see her in the dress, because she'd probably look cute in it, but at that moment, his mind shifted to a certain girl with dazzling purple eyes and knee-length chestnut blond hair, strewn with natural golden hues wearing that certain dress and having fake fangs in her mouth.
Hikaru shook his head quickly and banished the picture from his mind. He had only just met Lillian, for Christ's sake! Why would he be imagining her in that skimpy outfit already? Well, yeah, she was hot but ... No! Don't think like that, Hikaru! The girl's more stubborn than even you, and she doesn't seem very nice either! He still didn't understand exactly why he was so excited for her to come to the Host Club's Vampire Party anyway. She was stubborn, hard-headed, rude, and insanely irritating. She hadn't responded to any of his advances in class today, any of his charms that he had learned from Tamaki. Why was Kaoru so lucky? He scored in getting the sweet one to come willingly. The only reason that bull-headed girl was coming today was because of her sister.
His mood now dark and gloomy, he grabbed up his black outfit and headed into the changing rooms to change into it. When he returned he was wearing a pair of black silk pants, black shoes, a white dress shirt and a black vest over it. He had in his false vampire teeth and the makeup that made his face a pale white and what looked to be blood dripping from the corner of his lips. His contacts gave him red iris's and his hair was ruffled as if he had been running his hand through it.
Walking over to the throne where Tamaki would be sitting as the King of Vampire, Hikaru sighed a little. What was the point in all of this again? Oh yeah, to get popular ... Kaoru strolled up beside him in the same attire with the same paint, and as per usual for the twins, they looked completely identical.
"Wonder if they'll show ..."
Hikaru cast a glance at his brother before chuckling and tossing his arm across Kaoru's shoulders. "Why wouldn't they? We're sexy, charming, and don't forget, identical twins just like them. They've got to be interested in us, right?" he asked, winking at his brother.
Kaoru shrugged and looked at his brother with a smile. "I had every class today with Lilac. She's ... Nice," he said softly to Hikaru, an odd look in his eyes that Hikaru had never seen in them before. A puzzled look on his face, Hikaru turned away from his brother, standing straight beside him and pasting his Host smile on his face, the same as his brother. They heard foosteps outside the door and glance at Haruhi, who was wearing similar clothes to them only instead of being dressed like a butler, she was dressed like a prince, sitting at Tamaki's feet and leaning back against him with one leg crooked up and her arm resting on it. She played the role of lonely, badboy prince well, Hikaru had to admit with a smile.
Honey was dressed as another little prince and was currently on Mori's shoulders with Usa-chan in his hands, who was dressed as a little butler like Mori and the twins. Kyoya wore what could only be described as a warrior vampire's clothes and Hikaru enveyed him sorely for the clothes.
The doors were suddenly thrown open and Hikaru turned his attention back to them. Without bothering to check who it was, he bowed along with his brother and Mori, and said with the rest of the Hosts, "Welcome!" with a smile on his face. He leaned back up after a moment when he heard a soft sound of surprise, his eyes falling on the twin girls standing in the doorway, one cowering behind the other and peaking out behind her.
"My fair princesses, you must be the beautiful twin girls I have heard oh-so-much about!" Tamaki cried, rising from his throne and dancing over to the girls. "May I say that you two are the most beautiful girls I've-"
"Shut up," the girl in front said, bringing up her hand to slap the king in the face. Her eyes were closed and her lips were twitching in annoyance, her face slightly towards the ground as she crammed her hand into Tamaki's face. He was stopped mid-stride and Hikaru couldn't see his face, but could imagine the stunned look on it.
"You annoy me, and you're scaring my sister, so shut up you freak," the girl said, who could be none other than Lillian. Tamaki stood there for a moment longer before he scuttled into a corner to sulk. Haruhi went over to console him, crouching down beside him and patting his head, murmuring reassuring words. Hikaru felt his lips twitch up into a genuine grin and he snorted.
"Looks like boss not only got turned down by one girl," began Karou.
"But by two beautiful twins!" Hikaru finished. The boys both held onto each other, snorting and laughing at their boss.
Hikaru stopped laughing as a sweet, tiny voice coming from beside the girls. "Do you like cake? I like cake, and so does Usa-chan! Do you want to eat cake with Usa-chan and me?"
He turned his attention over to Honey-Senpei who stood beaming up at the two girls, who were absolutely lost by his adorableness, even Lillian seemed lost.
"Of course I'll eat cake with you!" Lilac exclaimed, smiling down at the boy.
"Yay!" Honey-Senpei cried. Immediately he took the girl's hand and started leading her towards the table with a wide asortment of sweets upon it, and the two became lost in the sweets before the rest of the Host's very eyes. By then, Haruhi had managed to get Tamaki out of his corner, and other guests were slowly beginning to show up and walk over to their favorite Host's designated area. He watched as Kyoya approached Lillian and spoke to her, although he couldn't hear what they were saying, only see their lips moving. Once they were done speaking, Kyoya turned and walked in the direction of the tables, Lillian following behind him. It was only when they stopped at what was Hikaru and Kaoru's designated area that Hikaru felt his heart speed up in his chest.
Stop that! he inwardly shouted at it, lifting his fist and smacking his chest. She's not important, so stop letting yourself get so eager that she was in your section! She probably only wants to talk about the homework or the Field Days projects, anyway!
Pasting a smile on his face, he walked over to his section, Kaoru following behind him, and he dropped onto a couch beside Lillian. Kaoru, despite the longing looks he shot in the direction of Lilac, whom he obviously wanted to be speaking to, sat across from him and, Hikaru not really ignoring Lillian but also not giving her too much attention, they began to entertain their guests.
"So, you two conned us into coming here. I believe it's due time for you both to explain what's going on here," Hikaru suddenly heard a soft voice say, as soon as most of the girls were gone from the couches. He turned and looked at Lillian, who had surprisingly remained quiet the entire time, before smirking a little and leaning in close to her. His finger came to rest on her chin and his tongue flicked out to lick at some crumbs from her cake on her cheek. When he pulled back, he was satisfied to see a soft blush rise into her cheeks and smiled at her.
"Well, my princess, it's quite an easy thing to explain," he began.
"This is the Ouran Highschool Host Club, and our duty is-" Kaoru continued.
"To make sure all the girls in the school are happy and that-"
"Everyone is welcome, no matter what their social status or how much money they have," Hikaru finished. He watched as Lillian pondered this information, tapping her chin and obviously attempting to banish her blush.
"So basically you're a stuck-up rich club trying to gain the adoration of the girls of the academy and the respect from the boys while you practically take over the entire school?"
Kaoru looked stunned by this, jerking back from her and covering his heart with his hand. "Hikaru, I don't think ... I'm going to make it ... After that horrid comment from this girl ..." he began, his voice weak.
"No! Kaoru! You must stay with me," Hikaru cried, moving across the couches to cradel his brother gingerly in his arms, tears in his eyes.
"I ... Can't stay much longer ... Unless ... She apologizes ..." Kaoru rasped.
"Lillian, please, apologize to my dear brother, before it's too late!" Hikaru cried. Lillian looked annoyed by this but, obviously to humor them, she sighed and looked at them and mutted, "Sorry," before glaring over at them.
Kaoru sprung up, gasping in a breath, and Hikaru jerked him into his arms, openly crying. "Oh, Kaoru! I was so scared to lose you!" he cried.
"Hikaru, I can't breathe," Kaoru gagged. Hikaru loosened his arms and returned to the couch, dropping onto it and smiling at Lillian.
"So, my dear princess; what do you think of our Host Club?" he asked, leaning forward so that his nose was almost touching her cheek.
Lillian looked at him, annoyance visible in her eyes. "I think you're all idiots," she muttered. Hikaru froze, his eyes wide and his heart pounding in his chest. Yet, not from her words. No, it was from her scent. Like roses mixed with rain and a waterfall, it was intoxicating. He jerked back and turned away from him, his heart threatening to burst from his body.
"Club hours are now over. My apologies, ladies, but we hope you enjoy Tuesday and are looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday."
Hikaru breathed in relief at Kyoya's announcement and rose, taking Lillian's hand in his and helping her stand. "Until tomorrow my fair princess," he chuckled as he bent over and kissed her fingers before releasing her hand. She scowled at him and whisked away. He watched as she walked over to her sister, spoke softly to her, and then the two walked clamly from the room, the doors shutting behind them with soft thuds.
