A/N: Chapter 2 yay! OMG I'm so addicted to books by Darren Shan :) I don't know why I'm telling you this hahaha…K now the story begins!
Shiki grunted. He was wearing a black suite with a red vest, and sleek black dress shoes. The twins made Shiki wear the suit. He wanted to kill them right then and there, but that would be too soon. He had to endure it.
The twins observed Shiki and nodded at times. "Okay that's good. Now…" The twins held cameras and grinned. "We'll take a picture and show our mom!"
Each took multiple pictures of Shiki, front and back. Shiki gritted her teeth. How can he let this happen to him?
Hikaru pouted after half an hour of taking pictures, "Man…out of batteries."
Kaoru sighed, "Same…"
"We should have used ours instead of using the cameras Haruhi gave us." The twins said in unison.
Shiki sighed gratefully. Then his relief shattered to pieces when the twins smiled, "Let's go get more batteries! Wait here!"
The twins ran out of their bedroom and left Shiki alone. The boy took off his jacket and threw it to the bed. Shiki sat on the side of the bed, and swept his black hair back but it just went back in place.
It's been two days since he made the promise to the hosts. Nothing has truly happened; the hosts still didn't trust Shiki fully and they had him stay at the other side of them when in the Host Club.
Shiki's eyes were glazed. Will they ever trust him?
Hikaru and Kaoru opened the door slightly and saw Shiki's fixed gaze. The boys closed it again.
Kaoru gently put his hand on his throat where Shiki cut him. "You think we can trust him Hikaru?"
Hikaru glanced at his brother. His expression darkened; remembering how Shiki acted when they met him. Shiki was so nice and fun to be with. Until they realized he was planning on killing them. "…I don't know Kaoru."
"He's gonna be wondering where we are…we should open the door now…"
Hikaru nodded. "Yeah…" The twins looked at each other.
They grabbed their cameras with new batteries in them. They took picks of Shiki's expression and shouted out for Shiki to hear. "Perfect! Nice pose!"
Shiki made a face as the twins took more pictures. He glared at the two and looked away.
The twins smiled. "Well that's all the photos for today! We're gonna go and eat lunch!
Shiki sighed. He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
There was blood everywhere. Bodies scattered all around Shiki, some dead and some were whispering for help. Shiki touched his cheek and he saw blood on his fingertips. The boy grinned. How he longed to see blood once more.
"SHIKI! WE'RE GONNA MEET THE OTHERS COME ON!" Hikaru and Kaoru called out.
Shiki's eyes blinked open. He grinned and got up while scratching his head lazily. "It's been a while since I've made a kill hasn't it."
Shiki took off his vest and yelled, "I'M COMING! JUST WAIT!"
Shiki ran to his room. He grabbed his clothes the twins gave him yesterday after he had modeled for them.
Shiki jogged downstairs and joined the twins. "Okay, okay I'm here."
The twins grinned, "Great! We're gonna all go to this amusement park near Haruhi's place!"
Shiki narrowed his eyes a bit. Haruhi's been ignoring Shiki for the whole time he's been with the others. If Shiki wanted to get on the good side of the hosts, he will have to get close to Haruhi. And he doesn't plan on failing.
Shiki made a fake smile to hide his secret determination inside. "Can't wait."
[At the amusement park]
The Hitachiin's limo arrived at the front of the amusement. Everybody were mesmerized at the amounts of limos came. (A/N: they saw the other hosts arrive in each of their limos)
The twins and Shiki came out of the limo. Some girls blushed as they saw the serious look on Shiki's face. The other hosts waved at the three and joined them.
Haruhi gave a quick glare at Shiki and so did he. Haruhi wanted to know if Shiki did anything to the twins so badly. She still couldn't get the image of Shiki killing her friends out of her head. Blood everywhere…she closed her eyes to shake the image away. It was useless.
Tamaki smiled at Shiki, "Hey Shiki. How was being with Hikaru and Kaoru going?"
Shiki looked at the blonde. He was the only one that was nice to Shiki; he would talk to him the most at lunch, he would always ask Shiki to hang out after club time. Somehow…Shiki felt a little happy. But he also felt pissed off, because Tamaki was probably just feeling sorry for Shiki. Course that can also make killing the so called 'king' more pleasurable. His violet eyes widen with fright as Shiki pierced him with all he's got.
"Annoying. They made me model again." Shiki glared at the twins.
Hikaru and Kaoru shrugged, "That's cause it's fun. Anyway we sent a picture of you to our mom on the first night you stayed. She really liked your figure and she really wanted you to model." The twins grinned in amusement. "And it's funny seeing you so pissed off."
Shiki gritted his teeth. He hasn't been so mad in his life, until now. Kyoya pushed up his glasses and smiled, "Well shall we go on some rides?"
Tamaki smiled like a 5 year old with stars in his eyes. "Let's go!"
"~Yay~" Hunny cheered. Tamaki and Hunny ran towards some of the rides with their more mature friends-Mori and Kyoya-following close behind.
The twins ran to the biggest roller coaster and left Shiki and Haruhi alone. "Going on any rides?"
Haruhi glanced at Shiki and shook her head. "I didn't even want to go. But the guys insisted on it. I never should have told them about the amusement park."
Shiki chuckled, "Well at least you get to be with your friends, right?"
Haruhi eyed Shiki. What was he up to? When Haruhi asked him that, Shiki just smiled warmly at Haruhi. "I just want to be friends with you guys."
Haruhi stared down at her feet. She didn't feel right while standing with Shiki. "Liar."
"…listen…I'm sorry for what I did."
Haruhi shot her head up at Shiki. "You what?"
"I'm sorry…I hope you can forgive me."
"Why such a change of heart?"
"Your friends…they're really great. I've never been close to people this kind! They have taken me in like a family…I really like being with you guys. And though they are pretty annoying, I quite like the twins." Shiki smiled at Haruhi. This is the first he's ever smiled so kindly. It felt so abnormal to him.
Haruhi smiled in disbelief. Did they actually make Shiki change? And in just two days! "Wow…I can't believe it…"
"So will you forgive me?"
"Well…the guys do seem to like you…sure why not." Haruhi smiled and went to her friends who were calling her. Haruhi knew that she shouldn't trust Shiki so soon. She'll accept him but she can't keep her guard down for a minute.
Shiki watched Haruhi leave. Shiki waved at Haruhi and left to the washroom. Shiki's once innocent smile turned to a chaotic grin. He's made Haruhi trust him so easily; now the hosts will really trust him. Shiki chuckled coldly. "This is gonna be fun."
After all the fun and games, they all went to their homes. Shiki closed the door of his room and began to change. Once he took off his shirt he looked at his back in the mirror. It was full of scars and cuts all around. Shiki sighed and opened up his ponytail.
Hikaru opened Shiki's door, "Hey Shiki have you seen-oh." Hikaru saw Shiki changing and the scars on his back. "Woah what happened?"
The assassin frowned. Should he tell this boy about his past? Will it make them trust him more?
Shiki sighed, "I was the best in Bloodlust…but of course everybody makes mistakes. And when you make mistakes you should always be punished. That's what the leaders in Bloodlust follow."
"So all of those scars are from them? None of them are from your missions?" Hikaru closed the door and entered Shiki's room.
"Yeah…I never got a scratch from my missions but I got a lot from training." Shiki buttoned up his PJ shirt and put on his PJ pants. "Now what do you want?"
"Oh right! Have you seen this folded up picture?" Hikaru crossed the room and looked over some things. "Kaoru wants it because when he came in here before, it probably slipped out of his pocket."
"Oh, I think I've seen it." Shiki opened his bedside drawer and handed Hikaru the folded picture. "I saw it on the ground. I didn't see what it was of."
Hikaru took the picture and opened it up. The boy smiled gently. Shiki's never seen a Hitachiin smile like that…weird.
The door then opened and the two looked to see Kaoru at the door. "Hikaru? Did you find it?"
Hikaru put his arm over Kaoru's shoulder and grinned, "Yup! Now let's go frame it."
The twins skipped away as Shiki sat down on the bed. Shiki waited till he was sure that the twins were asleep. 11 o'clock.
Shiki got up and went into the twin's room. He saw two figures in a bed sleeping soundly. Shiki watched over them carefully.
If only he could kill them now. Shiki glanced up at the ceiling and growled. There were cameras and Shiki's device was taken away. He couldn't do anything to them. Yet.
Suddenly there was a rustle in the sheets. Kaoru rubbed his eye half asleep. "Hello? Someone there?"
Kaoru looked and saw no one there. Kaoru shrugged thinking it was just the wind that sent a chill down his spine. "Whatever…"
He went back to sleep. Shiki stood outside the door and sighed. "That was close."
A couple and their little boy were walking in the park. They were happy, they loved each other, they felt like they had no dangers when together…the perfect family.
The little boy was smiling innocently like a child should. The mother smiled at her boy and held her stomach. They were gonna have another family member join soon. The boy and his parents made their way to their home.
They were playing board games and laughing happily. The door burst open and men in suits came in.
The father yelled for an explanation but before he could get one, he was viciously stabbed to death in the chest. The mother screamed as her love fell to the ground lifeless. She pushed and shoved the men but they just simply stabbed his in the stomach. She and the baby's life were taken in only a few seconds.
The young boy was paralyzed. His family was gone in only a matter of seconds. Blood was flowing out of his parent's bodies. Blood was splattered onto his face.
Finding his senses the boy ran to his parent's side. He shook them endlessly and spoke through desperate tears, "Mom…dad…wake up…please. I need you…don't leave me…"
A man stood in front of the weeping boy. He saw how weak the boy was in appearance and shook his head. "Very weak."
When the boy heard the man's voice it somehow made him sick. He just knew it was him who ordered them to kill his most important people in the world. The boy glared at the man. "It was you…"
The man saw the fire in the boy's red eyes. The man smiled. "Maybe you aren't weak."
The man held out his hand. "Join us."
The little boy spat at the man and yelled, "LEAVE! I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN JOIN YOU!"
The man's smile vanished and he looked at the men who came with him. "Make sure he joins."
The men took the boy by his arms and dragged him to a room. The men held knives and made small cuts on the boy's small arms. The boy cried in pain. "Stop! Stop!"
Shiki shot up from his bed sweating and panting. He saw that he was in his room and relaxed. Shiki tangled his hands in his hair that hung over his shoulders.
Shiki got up from his bed and looked at himself in the mirror. He wasn't the same innocent kid he was back then. Shiki got his hair band and put his hair in a ponytail. He needed some air.
Shiki walked through the streets of Tokyo. The place lit with lights and cars were driving in every direction.
Shiki frowned. "It's been a long time since I've had that dream…"
[The next day]
It was after school and the hosts finally decided to have Shiki be a host. They saw Shiki and Haruhi walking together they chose to be friends with him too.
"Okay men! Before our customers come, we have to find out Shiki's type!" Tamaki announced.
Shiki sat down on a chair and waited. He knew these type things since he has been watching them, but he still found it odd. Suddenly a roaring sound echoed through the club and they all looked to see Renge.
Shiki made a face, 'Oh…it's her.'
Renge pointed at Shiki, "I've got it! You are the dangerous type!"
The hosts made a face. Renge doesn't know about Shiki being an assassin and yet she got his type on the dot. Shiki grumbled, "Can't I just sit down and serve tea or something?"
"What! No! You have to host!" Tamaki whined. Shiki rolled his eyes and got up.
"What do I do then?"
Renge poked Shiki multiple times in the chest, "You have to be the guy that girls crave to see but feel like they should stay away from you! You have to be daring!"
Renge's poking brought an image in Shiki's head. His parents stabbed in the chest…multiple times.
Shiki grabbed Renge's wrist and pinned her on the wall. The hosts gasped as Shiki yelled. "Don't you ever do that again!"
Renge lost the feeling of her legs. Shiki let his grip go of her wrist and Renge fell to the ground. Shiki held his hand out. "S-sorry…I…I didn't mean to hurt you…."
He really didn't. He was just so shocked that he did that unintentionally. The hosts looked at Renge's face; she was quiet for a moment, then she looked up and her eyes sparkled. "That was perfect!"
"Huh?"
"The adrenaline was so surprising! My heart is beating through my chest!" Renge blushed and held Shiki's hands. "Just be you and you'll do fine!"
"Thanks?"
To be continued…
A/N: Yeah it's short I know! DX but I have somewhere to go for an early vacation so I had to finish it quickly. On the next chapter, you'll see how Shiki deals with his customers.
