Chapter 2
She stepped back and forth almost making a hole underneath her feet, "What am I going to do?" Cagalli thought while clutching the invitation in her hands.
The children watched her 'dance of reflection' as they would call it, while eating the sweets the troubled representative brought for them.
"Big sister's got a really big problem this time, she's taking up huge space for her dance." One kid told the other, "Yeah, but look she stopped!"
"I need to hide from them." they then heard her say, "What happened big sister, you stopped dancing?" a little girl asked after her notion. Cagalli blinked, and continued her constant movement of her feet, "I know they have a plan about this already, they know I wouldn't go to that revelry." She smirked; "It's getting interesting…" a boy eating popcorn said and watched her like she was in a movie.
Cagalli's eyes shifted from the door to the kids speckled on the floor eating too much junk food watching her every step.
"You kids shouldn't be rude, looking at people when eating." She told them off, "Soooorry big sis!" they shouted back loud enough for Lacus to here in the kitchen preparing their dinner.
--+---+---+
Dinner was done and all the children were sleeping in their rooms, the only ones left were the adults lounging in the living room concerning the invitation sent to the amber princess, seems like she was really stuck and cornered by her own peers.
"Now, Cagalli…" The purple-eyed coordinator started, "Why were you in a host club? And exactly WHAT were YOU DOING IN A HOST CLUB?!"
Lacus giggled, "Kira don't be too rough on Cagalli; she must have had her PERSONAL REASONS." The pink haired lady emphasized.
"Whoa, Even Lacus wants to know." Cagalli thought once again, "Why was I in a host club anyway? Hhhmmm… I don't remember joining the club without a fight…what was it?" The blond woman touched her chin thinking why DID she really join that club?
Cagalli's mini theater; back of her subconscious mind:
It was a light morning breeze that made me sleep that day, out of all the days I felt sleeping the most near the grassy garden just after the fountain built for the Koi fishes of different colors and out of all days in my freshman life in Ouran, that day had to be the day when some bastards had to wake me up for their stupid revenge.
"Hey look what we've got here, the new student bent on world domination." A voice said above me, some of them laughed, "you must be kidding, and that's the transfer student from what? What school was it again?" they paused to laugh again, "He may not even be from another school!!"
I stirred, who was these idiots disturbing my precious nap? They had to be some retards with nothing to do, they've got a lot of money, why notice me?
Someone from their group kicked me on the hip, only slightly though, I think they wanted to wake me up and butcher me up when I'm fully awake.
"Wake up!" I groaned, "What now?" I thought then I blinked twice from the sunlight passing through the edges of the book covering my face.
"Aaww…the little commoners---"he stopped when another tapped his shoulder offering another mockery, "stupid" I thought silently, "this is such a bother."
Groaning to stand up to only till my elbows could support my upper body, I looked at them wryly with my hair awry from the grass' soft ground, "What do you freakin' ass rich aggressive people want?" I said annoyed, they knew that but NOOOOO, one of them just had to step on my right hand which really does hurt from practicing too much.
I cried a silent growl behind my mouth, immediately I completely stood up from my lying position and gathered enough strength for a brutal attack on one guy's face.
He touched his bruised face and snarled at me, I smirked back at him.
Another blow broke out, I tried to evade but to no avail my face got scratched a bit. "Heehee…Got one!" he cheered, unfortunately for me; this was a fight between one versus four, oh, what joy!
I lowered myself to a fighting position, ready, set…go! I quickly jumped up to hit one of the rich guys on their gut, ha-ha for them, I snickered. His white-grayish hair is so weird, I just noticed that when I punched him on the gut, very ignorant of me.
"Takahashi,ya' alright?" A guy with long black tied in a high ponytail asked, guess he didn't wanna cut it, oh and yeah, he got tan skin too, looks likes a dog or a wolf for some reason.
After a few bruises, a number of serious kicks and punches on the gut and all parts of the body…
-Cough-cough- I wiped a bit of blood in my cheek with the back of my hand," this is getting out of my practice…" I couldn't finish my thought as another blow rushed behind me making my body out of balance and my feet to slide on the green grass' surface.
There was only two of them left, the other half, well…I got them good. When I slipped on the floor, I didn't just fall face flat but rolled on it because of the slanting hill just a bit oblique on the side of where I first slept on, the funny thing is I didn't feel hurt or have any bruises on the fall, just got dizzy and tired from all that. The two followed me but though not the same style as me rolling down. They jumped from the top hill over me, they had they're own bruises but lesser than mine, I was only one against them, what do you think they had more bleeds than me?
My blond lose blond hair had been cut since I got to this school, (just about the length below my ears.) I've been dreaming of having it cut that way since when? I don't now, I already forgot. But now it was a good choice of cutting because such short hair didn't bother me in cases of fights spur on an unknown moment such as this.
Catching a second to breathe properly from my great rolling fall, I coughed, trying to stand up. My eyes had been blurry because of my fall and it was only slowly, very slowly returning to a clear sight and in an instant two pairs of feet stood beside my almost limp body, I looked up from my state, "this is bad…" I muttered, "too bad huh? We're not done beating up little commoners such as you!!" the white grayish mutt said to me, "stealing our women like that! You should've just joined that idiotic host club in the music room!!" the dark long haired guy shouted up to me next.
Since I had the chance to do so and, acting like I was really a commoner boy never-been-rich-all-my-life is was so easy but I never would've thought that girls in this school were attracted to commoners with brains, now who would've known? They were always chatting with me when breaks was still, they had their eyes flutter and took glances towards me, for some reason I didn't notice it till the guys in class had me lectured about it, what a drag.
Back to the current movie in Cagalli's mind,
"What host club?" someone asked from behind the two, "Our host club?" a little voice said, I couldn't see properly. The little boy had a cute face though, maybe just my imagination and behind him was a very tall man, they were both wearing the school uniform in the high school department, why would a kid be wearing it? I just noticed too, I kept asking and talking to myself a lot these days, no company at all for personal matters to me from doing these inside my head. Ah, no one knows of my true identity after all.
"It's the sempais from that club." The dark haired ponytail guy said to his colleague, the white-gray mutt. (Calling them dogs has a reason, so please deal with my language.)
and out of nowhere, the white gray mutt came flying above me to the other side, I was shocked but I still didn't move from my place, I looked who kicked the mutt out, it was the little guy in our uniform, I've never seen him before. He pouted cutely at them, angry I suppose and behind him the tall guy didn't seem to have an expression at all, just staring… "Weird." I murmured, but still out of breath; focusing on their party, my eyes didn't have that blurry vision anymore so I kinda liked what I was seeing, "whoa, good punch!" I cheered after seeing the little boy clout the dark haired mutt on the other side; I readily stood up even if my body hurt all over.
"Now, Takahashi…" He gawked at me; he backed away a bit, a step per second, and his white grayish hair swayed with him backing away. Seemed like he didn't want to fight being outnumbered like that, then he smirked "I'm going for now, but little blond boy, don't forget that I get my revenge sooner or later!!" Takahashi screamed at me while carrying the unconscious long haired mutt along with him, now quickly backing away then running up the hill with bruises all over all thanks to me, I was finally relieved that it finally ended for this day.
I turned my head to my saviors so I could thank them properly but didn't realize that when I turned my head the little boy had already put his face near mine.
His cute face was near me, I almost fell backwards but his little hands held my shoulder. Looking behind him, the tall guy was the one that held him up to my face, "Hello Yula-chan!" the blond cute little boy hollered at me, he waved his hand like a little doll, his cheeks pink and rosy, "what the?" I alleged shocked a little boy could be so cheerful when he threw a punch on a guy much bigger than him, "E-ehehe-he, hi to you too, uhhm, little boy." I laughed feebly, "Thanks for saving me back there." I continued and he did the unthinkable, his little hands touched my shabby face and clamped his hands on it pulling my aching cheeks, what was I a rubber band?
"Gah! That hurts!" I shrieked and immediately I grasped his hands to stop and let go, and after that painful feat he laughed at me. Really, Am I that of a comedian?
He giggled then stopped to look at me again, "Come one Yula-chan, we wouldn't wanna get wet!" he said to me cheerfully and I stared at him confused, the little guy pointed at the sky, and I turned my eyes up to see dark clouds hovering, "Well, its going to rain now, we should go inside."
-+---+--+
"Waa—wait? Yula-chaaan?" I assumed the little boy heard that while holding my hand trying to get out of the rain, unfortunately we were caught up with the rain making us wet and running forward to the school. It just went on to me that he called me Yula-chan, I didn't even tell them my name! Why would he know? " Yula-chan we're almost there…" there we go again calling me Yula-chan, "Hey…" I called out to him, "What's up with you little boy? Calling me with weird nicknames…"
My false name was Kagari Yula, how ironic right but still works.
Running inside and wet caught up a bit of attention uhhmm, not really, the girls blushed, the guys glared, some laughed their asses off and as we walked or rather, run our way to a room, I followed the little guy in a music room as I recalled going in there.
When the large doors opened, flowers flew my way as a sweet scent of roses passed by me, sparks surrounded the indoors of the room, and in it was five handsome students trapped my eyes from any matter on my sight.
"Waaaahhh!! Haruhi-chan!!! I'm all wet!!!" I heard the little blond boy beside me shout and came in the room hurrying for new dry clothes and the tall man passed by me to also get in the said beautiful shining room. "Yula-chaaaann!! Please come in, its very cold." The little boy invited.
"Oh, who did you bring Hunny?" two similar faces came up to me holding a towel, they handed it to me, "uh, thanks." I replied discomfited.
"This wet boy, right here will be our new member." A guy wearing glasses answered the twins' question.
"Wh---What?!" I shouted confused at what the teen said to me, "What am I joining?"
They looked at me happily, except the two boys drying up the little blond boy, "please don't force people on joining; they have something else to do." A brunette answered my call, "yeah…","Oohhh!! But we've gotten good news that you're very sociable to women and very talented!! You have to come join us!! Kyouya!!" the twins shouted at my face, "and besides…" the one called Kyouya continued, "…you have nothing else to do other than brawl out with the students outside am I right?"
I gawked, "y-yeah…but that's not even my fault! They're the one causing the scenes go ballistic every time we just pass by the halls!!! I confronted, why am I making myself say this? He smirked," then its better if you just join us then it'll be all over," the twins, blond boy and tall guy nodded in return. Focusing my gaze on the room,"…what weird people…" I unconsciously muttered aloud, " uhmm, Kagari-san, you should at least dry off and change." Seems like they're not all peculiar here, this person was very kind and normal to me, "eh, sure."
"Please follow me, we have a change of uniforms in the back, and oh, don't mind the people behind you." He told me flashing an ordinary smile.
But how do they all know my name? Like I said, I didn't give my name yet…gotta ask.
"uhhmm…" I started but couldn't ask properly, "yes?" the only normal person replied to me turning his head back to look, " I suppose your thinking why we all know your name?" Waahh, is he psychic or what? "y-yeah, how DO you know?" I struggled to keep my voice tamed, "well, my friends did say they wanted you to join the club so the guy with the glasses, Kyouya researched about you since you came in Ouran."
"And I forgot to introduce myself; I'm Haruhi Fujioka, nice to meet you Kagari Yula-san." He held out a hand for me to shake and I accepted it gladly. "Thanks."
--+--+---+---
"Oh, by the way, what club is this anyway?" I asked now assured that everything was fine but the one thing that didn't came up to me was his answer, "Oh, this is a host club!"
My brain cracked, is that allowed in a school? A host club, meaning men entertaining women... "Are you sure?" I demanded a right and truthful answer, "I've never heard of a host club here before…" reaching his steps to go by the boys side while holding the towel, I had to ask him a lot of questions, " Uhm, maybe that's because most of our customers come from the higher levels, less freshmen knew about the host club till they were invited to come and this is a new semester so may be you still didn't knew of it, eh but now you know. And our president…" her eyes cast down in an unordinary smirk "…wants you to join." Then he came back to his original expression, normal.
"Oh we're here, just please change in the fitting room and I'll get a pair of uniforms for you." He told me and left me in there to change, I had to hurry before any body could see, ahh, good thing I have a towel.
--+--+---+
While unbuttoning my shirt I heard footsteps behind the cloth separating the fitting room from the outside, I suspected it to be Haruhi but came shocked when the one who entered was one of the twins, I looked straight to the mirror, reflecting was his face also surprised as I am and he was holding the uniform on his hands.
My shirt was half open leaving him to see my chest…we stayed in a trance, both mouths hanging in disbelief, "I'm so dead…" that thought never left my mind…
"Kaoru-san, did you already give the uniform to---"Haruhi opened the cloth to witness me in my almost undressed and mouth-hanging state, and also the young twin with the same expression, "ehehe," he finally had the gut the talk, "damn it." "Here's the uniform." He told me and left it lying on a little table just beside the wall, and Haruhi stood there, "stop looking at me!!" I screamed, he immediately apologized and walked out. "Why was he so calm?"
--+---+---+--
(The bizarre and idiotic world Of Kira.)
"…galli…CAGALLIII!!"
"Uhh?"
Kira had been waving his hands on her face for minutes now, his arms felt like giving up to shaking her shoulders was the only way to wake up his blank eyed sister in her stupor,
Shaking her some more if it had any effect, he was shocked that a hand came flying on his head making him stumble and fall back on the floor, "stop shaking me little brother."
He heard his twin say in a whisper, "It just came to me how I joined the host club to answer your questions and now, you wake me up!!"
"She didn't have to hit me…" the younger twin thought (I dunno if he's younger or what) touching his aching head, he felt a slight bump form on it.
" Aaaahhhh!!!" Cagalli pulled her hair, "I still don't have a plan to escape!!!" she stood up angrily, and left a puzzled Kira on the floor.
"Kira you are such an IDIOT!!"
Bang!
