"Hinata-sama, you look very lovely today!"
"T-thank you."
"Hinata-sama, my father would love to meet you!"
"My father too Hyuuga-sama!"
"We would love for you to visit us at our party!"
Hinata sighed and dawdled out, "I w-will have to talk to my f-family about this. I will see what I can do. Thank you for the offer though. I a-appreciate it." They all giggled and exhaled in a dreamy motion. She frowned. Ever since the Host Club had changed her looks, her popularity had escalated quickly within the rich school. It had been a good, yet bad thing since plenty of fake people attached themselves to her hip. She couldn't even use the rest room unless she had a distraction. Damn nosy rich people. She rolled her eyes. I miss public school. Nobody really knew who I was.
"Hinata-sama."
Her blue hair swayed as she craned her neck to look up at another male student. Bright green eyes pierced through her, and messy dark ebony hair framed the young man's chiseled face. Hinata's prissy mood disappeared immediately, and she smiled softly at her personal butler, "Taro-kun, what are you doing here?"
Taro patted her head placidly. "Hiashi-sama told me to come here to take care of you." He directed a sharp glare to the group sucking up to her. He held a hand up, "If you are only talking to Hinata-sama for her high political position, I suggest you stay out of the way and leave her alone. She has enough on her mind as it is." They all turned red in the face from embarrassment or anger, glaring at him. Taro rolled his eyes and tugged her away from them.
"T-Taro-kun!" Hinata exclaimed, mortified at his words.
A small grin tugged at his lips. "You're happy, don't deny it. You hate being near a crowd of stuck up snobs." She pouted. He checked his watch. "Class is about to start in five minutes. I'll be in the staff room if you need me. Hiashi-sama told me to make sure that I signed you up for the martial arts club to prove how superior our fighting style is." Taro snorted and rolled his eyes. "Be careful, okay?"
"Un. Thank you." He gave a languid wave and hurried off to the staffroom. A small smile was on Hinata's face, and it disappeared quickly when she felt two heavy weights on each side of her shoulder. "Hikaru-kun? Kaoru-kun?" Her face flushed red in embarrassment, and they smirked, nuzzling their cheeks against hers teasingly. "U-umm, c-c-can—you uhh…." She was starting to feel nauseous.
"What's the matter Hinata-chan?" Kaoru asked, feigning a worried tone.
Hikaru did the same on the opposite side of her, "Are you okay?"
"You're really red," they completed together, sniggering in amusement.
"Err...W-well, I—" Oh gosh, this was just downright torture. Ever since they found out that she was not capable of dealing with flirting directed at her, they made it their job to tease her every day. Her reactions always entertained them greatly, and in Hikaru's opinion, it was just plain adorable. Of course, she didn't need to know that. Mainly due to the fact that Hinata would freak out and avoid him like a plague.
The twins were pulled off of Hinata immediately. "Honestly guys, can't you see that you're bothering her? Geeze." Haruhi sighed deeply, crossing her arms. "It's a miracle that she hasn't snapped at you two yet."
"She can't because she loves us!" Kaoru chuckled.
"Right Hi-na-ta-chan~?"
Hinata's throat dried up when they peered at her with a devilish grin, and she ended up nodding against her own will. "Y-Yeah." The bell then rang. "O-Oh look! Class is starting! Time to get to my umm…" She cowered under their stares and squeaked out, "Seat! I'll see you there! Bye!" Hinata ducked her head and rushed off to their classroom, tripping over the ends of her yellow dress every once in a while.
Haruhi exhaled in frustration, strands of loose brown hair flying to the side. "Must you really mess with her? You know she has self-esteem issues."
"Can't help it, " Hikaru muttered, shrugging. "Her reaction's just…cute."
"Cute?"
"Yeah. Like a small bunny. Right Kaoru?"
Kaoru agreed, knowing fully well that his older brother was developing a tiny crush on the Hyuuga female. After all, not once had the Hyuuga attempted to rape him, or showed romantic interest to any of the Host Club. And because of her social status, and the how she acted like a commoner, she definitely intrigued Hikaru. Kaoru hummed, "Of course. But she reminds me of a tomato more. Like when her face goes red."
Haruhi felt a sense of foreboding fill her with their response.
Something bad is going to happen.
Hinata ducked her head and lowered her petite body in her chair, trying to make her frame disappear. The past two hours, she felt like she was being watched by someone. It frightened her, but perhaps she was overreacting. Right? It could probably just be nothing. She should check, just in case. Breathing in some air, she exhaled and took a tiny peek over her shoulders quickly and saw—
Hikaru staring at her intently with his topaz colored eyes.
They locked eyes with each other. He grinned, waving coolly and not the least bit perturbed about being caught in the act. The act of staring at the one and only Hyuuga Hinata of course.
Hinata's face flushed bright red and she turned around quickly, ducking her head down to glance at her textbooks while the teacher wrote on the board constantly. The only thing heard in the classroom was the sound of the board being scratched with chalk. Wait a minute…Hinata frowned and put a hand to her ears, hearing a person's erratic heartbeat mix in with the screeching of the chalk. Lifting both hands, she covered her ears with her palms. Odd…It was her heartbeat.
"What are you doing?" Hikaru whispered, breath hitting against the surface of Hinata's earlobe.
"Eek!" She squeaked and whipped her head around furiously, eyes wide with panic and lips parted.
How adorable, Hikaru thought to himself. He pinched her cheeks when she kept giving him a frightened look, also wondering how her skin was so naturally smooth. She snapped out of it and slapped his hands away gently, attempting to scoot further away from him.
How did his table get so close to me? Hinata quirked a, tiny nervous smile. "I-Is there anything you need from me H-Hiitachin-san?"
"Mmm. Just bored," Hikaru said nonchalantly. AWWW! She even called him by his last name. How cute. Girls normally had no manners in the modern day so they skipped the formalities. "Entertain me."
"B-But…" Her pink lips began quivering. "…Sensei is t-teaching, and I can't be—"
"HYUUGA!"
Hinata flinched and returned her attention to the teacher immediately, cowering underneath the teacher's fearful glare. "Y-yes?"
The teacher scowled. "Detention after school. Be there." Half of the class began snickering, while the other half sent her their condolences through a few sympathetic smiles.
Hinata's shoulders sagged and she nodded reluctantly. "Y-Yes sensei."
Ahh…Father is going to kill me.
"Wait a minute sensei!" Everyone whipped their heads over to Hikaru—whom stared at the teacher with a blank expression. "I was the one talking to Hinata. I needed help on problem number fifteen."
"Well why didn't you have ask me?"
"You were teaching."
"And?"
"I didn't want to interrupt and be rude." Hikaru gave him a, "Are you fucking stupid?" expression before promptly sticking out his tongue.
"Well Hiitachin, if you had paid attention to my rules in the beginning of the years, you would understand that questions for things you can't comprehend would be saved till the end of class. That way I can help you with it."
He shrugged. "Oops."
"Detention for you too Hiitachin. Make sure you pay attention to the lesson fully that way you won't be asking another student for help. Hyuuga, you're free to go." The teacher turned his back on them and began writing on the board again.
"Wait a minute! Hiitachin-san was just—"
Hikaru leaned over his table and slapped his hand over her mouth. "Shhh! It's okay, I'll be fine at detention! It won't be my first time." He removed his hand when he saw her pale face turning into a dark shade of red. He chuckled lowly. "Sorry."
Hinata coughed quietly, and shook her head. "I-It's fine. T-Thank you for taking the blame…Is it r-really okay though?"
The older twin didn't know what overcame him, but he nodded patted her head and resumed his cheerful façade. "Don't worry about it! Detention is nothing!"
"O-Oh…"
Kaoru glanced at Hikaru knowingly, a frown marring his identical face. It was a lie. Despite all of the trouble they have gotten in, they never had detention. Ever.
Hyuuga Hinata, just what are you doing to my brother?
As for Haruhi? Ah, I hope lunch is going to be good today.
"Where's Hikaru and Kaoru?" Tamaki asked, flailing around the Host Club room in boredom. His subordinates hadn't shown up the past half hour, and he was getting quite worried. "Mommy! Where are they! What if they got kidnapped by a group of fan girls, and they decided to pull them behind the scenes and do the naughty? Or what if they fall in a black hole? Or what if Hikaru picks up a Death Note and decides to write down my name? What should we do?"
Kyouya sighed and set stopped typing in his laptop. "They are serving detentions right now. Give them another fifteen minutes, and they will arrive."
"Detention?" Honey and Tamaki chorused together.
"Yes. Detention."
"But they never get detentions!" Honey exclaimed, furrowing his blonde eyebrows. "Right Takashi?"
"Ah." In his language, it meant, "WHO THE FUCK CARES?" But no, seriously, it was just the silent man's way of agreeing.
"Why would they get a detention?" Tamaki mumbled to himself.
"It was because of the Hyuuga girl," Kyouya stated.
Haruhi sent Kyouya a reprimanding glare, "It was not because of Hinata-chan."
"Oh? Would you care to delve into the topic?"
"Hikaru was the one that got Hinata-chan in trouble. I guess he had a guilty conscience and decided to take responsibility of his actions. Knowing Kaoru, he didn't want to leave Hikaru alone, so he wanted to keep Hikaru company in case he gets bored," Haruhi explained, crossing her arms. She disliked the way Kyouya seemed to make Hinata out to be the bad person.
"Why would Hikaru take the blame over something so trivial though?" Yes, Hikaru has played a lot of crude pranks on people before. Although the common reaction to be expected from him was just a raucous laughter of amusement. It was rare to see Hikaru own up for his own actions. Kyouya scribbled the new data into his notebook. Interesting.
"Maybe he likes her?" Honey chimed in.
"What? Hikaru liking my daughter? PREPOSTEROUS!" Tamaki exclaimed, shaking his head.
"She's not your daughter," Haruhi commented, rolling her eyes.
"OF COURSE SHE IS!"
"Oh Usa-chan! Don't you think this cake is spectacular? I do too!"
"…."
Kyouya sighed. He really needed to stop hanging out with a group of weirdoes.
"You like her."
Hikaru's eyebrows twitched, and he glared at his twin. "I do not."
"Yes you do. Admit it. You like her," Kaoru stated, amused.
"I do not like her. She's just really amusing to talk too. That's it," Hikaru stated firmly, crossing her arms over his chest. He huffed, and to anyone else, it would seem like he was throwing an angry temper tantrum. To Kaoru though, he knew that his older brother was pouting like a little child. Kaoru rolled his eyes.
"I don't see what's so special about her," Kaoru said softly, adding a hint of a snide tone to see what Hikaru's reaction would be. Kaoru had nothing against Hinata. "So she's rich like us? Who cares? She's just a short midget with weird eyes—"
"Hyuuga does not have weird eyes." Hikaru's eyes flashed with a tiny annoyance before he realized that he fell into a trap Kaoru laid out for him. Blood rushed up to his cheeks, he glanced out the window and scowled. He tried correcting his mistake. "Her eyes are…cool."
Kaoru snorted. "Cool?" His brother was such a dork.
"Yeah! Her eyes are really wide in a cute way, and the thick eyelashes make it stand out. And at first glance, I thought she just had white pupiless eyes…but when you actually pay attention, her pupils are there but it's barely noticeable. The hint of lavender in it helps to point it out. It's…pretty cool."
"Hikaru. Why do you know the details of Hyuuga's eyes?"
"Shut up Kaoru."
Flower Devil: All right, I know this is a really crappy update, but hey. I wanted to do it instead of leaving it with one chapter forever. And no, Hikaru is NOT IN LOVE with Hinata. He is just developing a tiny crush so far. As for Hinata, yes, she will be the stereotypical character is oblivious due to the fact that Hikaru scares her slightly.
Thanks to those who reviewed! I appreciated it greatly. I'm glad you took your time to put in a few words or sentences.
