+Chapter Two+

Departure! An Unexpected Treat

It's been two weeks since the twins had decided their summer's fate, and the excitement had been growing every minute since. Their plane was to depart the day after, and they were getting their things together… Well, they sort of were.

"Just take everything from the dressers and put them into the suitcase, it's not that hard." The two sighed in a nasally overtone. Leaning over with their hands perched on their hips, they rushed their maids to get everything put away. They weren't mean people, they were just bored and had nothing better to do.

"C'mon, we don't have all day!" They continued, holding back laughter as the twin girls tried stuffing everything down. One sat on their clothes as the other attempted to zip it up. After a good few tries, she got all around quickly as the other jumped out of the way.

"Your luggage is ready, Hitachiin-sama." The girls reported rather quietly. They had a bit of loathe in their voices, and together they sounded fit for a creepy movie with two little possessed girls. "Would you like it put in the limo now, Hitachiin-sama?"

"Yeah, yeah, we don't want to trip over it." Kaoru shrugged, and he turned to his brother.

"Trip… Over it?" Examining the room, the girls concluded that it took almost none of the passageway. The room was gigantic.

"Can you believe it, Hikaru? We're going to commoner camp for three whole weeks!" Finally, his look of boredom evolved into a giddy smile, and his hands bounced up and down in a penguin waddling position.

"I know, Kaoru, we'll be just like Haruhi for three weeks! The only problem is we're supposed to take those classes." Hikaru grumbled, leaving Kaoru to only mimic his groggy expression. "I wonder what he registered us into."

"Probably something like chess." Kaoru joked, laughing at his own joke.

"Haha, probably!" Hikaru mined, and the two stood there laughing in the doorway as their maids' heads radiated a form of irritation. How exactly would they carry out their orders with those two standing in the way?

"Hitachiin-sama…" One began, half bowing and half holding on to the suitcase, ready to move it.

"How do we get through the doorway with you standing there?" The other finished. They knew very well that the two wouldn't fire them for that statement, they weren't completely evil, but they were sure spoiled… and mostly evil.

The two continued laughing, ignoring the maids and walking out on their own, talking about how exciting it would be. In result, their suitcase was thrown down the stairs instead of dragged. Fortunately, it was high class and nearly indestructible. It reflected the twins greatly, and that's subconsciously why they always used it.

Airport, July 1st

"I never liked this place." Kaoru grumbled as he stared up at the line for luggage check in. "It's too much work."

"Yeah, I don't know how we get through it all." Hikaru sighed in reply, and they walked in the opposite direction of the start of the line. On cue, a team of about three men in uniform took their suitcase and waited in line, two others as bodyguards walking closely behind them. (Why it took three men for a suitcase was beyond me, and I'm the writer. XD)

"Ma says that this place is dangerous." Kaoru whined in a high pitched sort of voice, putting on a worried look and latching onto his brother's shoulder. Hikaru simply looked at him a moment, and the two broke out into another fit of laughter.

---

It didn't take long for the brothers to approach the gate, and the two bodyguard men quickly saluted them and jogged off. It made Hikaru and Kaoru feel partially naked, not having those two breathing down their neck after so long, but eventually it was forgotten. Taking the two closest seats, they looked to each other a moment and pulled out Game Boy Advances, playing their favorite game: Super Mario Bros. (I dun own[Well, the game I do…)

As they played, the people around them slowly stopped what they were doing and looked at them. Did those two just have bodyguards…? The girls in that bunch were quickly swooned, standing in place and dancing sort of. Two handsome twins their age doing everything in harmony and seemingly pressing the buttons at the same time? How could they resist?

"Flight F1 is now boarding."

At their cue, Hikaru and Kaoru switched off their games. As soon as the screens were entirely black, they tossed them into their shared bag and despite the line, walked up to the front out of habit. The woman taking the tickets was in her thirties, and still she was swayed to the point where she ignored the angry passengers behind them.

"Thaaank you!♪" The two sang, skipping into the plane, hand in hand. They laughed at the idea of commoner camp, still, and took their front two seats in the middle next to each other, first class, nearly the moment they entered.

Boarding was long and tedious normally, especially for the first passengers inside, but still, the idea of where they were going kept them giggling the whole time. They saw everybody who boarded, and more than half gave them a long hard stare, almost all. The only ones who didn't were either old couples paying attention to not falling and dying, or babies. Some people even made comments.

Once everybody was seated, each of them slapped their headphones on. They were big and definitely not the most inconspicuous, especially with their hair being such a light color. They listened to their music until it was time for takeoff, where to stewardesses were to tell everybody to turn them off.

Three of them just passed by Hikaru and Kaoru with red marks on their faces that they made out to be a blush, and one came up to them and attempted. Flipping the switch to their music off, they looked up at her expectantly, saying not a word.

"Excuse me, sirs, you're going to have to…"

"Have to what?" Hikaru stated.

"Hikaru, she means our seatbelts. Don't be rude to such a beautiful girl." Kaoru knew that she was talking about the headphones, but he played along anyways. It was just plain fun.

"Huh?!" The woman jerked backwards.

"Hm? What is it?" The two looked up at her and blinked, Kaoru still in the middle of buckling Hikaru's seatbelt as his brother sat in place. Both of their headphones were now on their necks. "Do you want to buckle our seatbelts?"

"Uhm, well," She looked in every direction that wasn't theirs.

"It's your job, isn't it?" Hikaru laughed. It was evident that he was teasing her, and all three of them knew it. "Well then, go ahead."

Swallowing hard, the woman frowned. They were putting her on the spot. "I'm sure boys your age can buckle your own seatbelts…" Her voice was in a near whisper now as her throat became a bit scratchy and clogged from nervousness. "How old are you, anyways?"

"Hmmm?" Kaoru sat up straight. His hum was to tell her that she had no choice, unless she wanted to walk away and risk the two complaining. Judging by their character so far, she didn't want to take that risk. Other girls in first class was hoping to see them buckle each other up, but they were still baffled as to why the stewardess would pass up such a chance.

"…Okay, here you go." The woman gave in, her stomach turning from the awkward moment as she first buckled Kaoru's seatbelt. When she finished, he smiled and stopped her for a moment.

"Thank you. I'm honored to have somebody as graceful as you to do this favor for me." He smiled in a friendly manner afterwards, causing her face to go a deep beet red.

"Oh, well, you're welcome." She laughed back, nervous as can be. Then, she leaned over to buckle Hikaru's, and he took her by the wrist, stopping her and making her heart pound like a wrecking ball to an old theatre.(Hey, Arnold!)

"E-Eh?" She looked up to see his face. It looked solemn at first, until he looked up at her in a lovey-dovey way. She was frozen in place and he leaned as close as he thought was possible before she jerked back.

"I can do it myself, thanks. My little brother's just a baby like that." Basically there, the girls in first class hated the stewardess out of jealousy from then on to the end of the flight. It was evident in their Renge-like faces.

"O-oh, I see. Well then," She stood up straight once more, letting Hikaru's hand slip off of hers. "Glad to see you're all set, I'll be--"

"A tip for your troubles? We were just bored." Kaoru laughed, offering the stewardess a wad of cash possibly bigger than her week's paycheck. "You played with us, and we're happy."

The woman had thought this was over. Heart racing all over again, she took the tip graciously with a shaking arm. Now her entire body was shaking, and the money was held by her chest. The other hand signaled a thank you, for she was unable to speak, and she walked backwards in a bow until she was behind the curtain.

"We are ready for takeoff. Please turn off any electrical devices, and keep your tray tables up, seats back in the full upright position."

"Ready, Kaoru?" Hikaru turned to his brother.

Kaoru nodded. "Ready, Hikaru."

Throwing their headphones back on, they listened as much as they pleased as the plane drifted off into the air. They even sang to each other slightly, dancing a bit with their arms in between entangled. The girls in first class were relieved, the others were smitten.

Destination Airport, July 1st

Upon arrival, the two hopped up the second the seatbelt sign was turned off. Laughing, they skipped off of the plane merrily and placed hands to their foreheads as visors. They searched around for what their mom had described as a 'woman with orange staff shirt'. So far, they saw a few women with orange shirts. There were five in total. Three of those five were dress shirts, and the fourth was a jersey. As the fifth turned around, and the back had a large blue word that said in bold letters: 'Staff'.

"Auntie!" they chimed, skipping like little children to the woman. Smiling profusely, they tapped her shoulder. When she turned around, they nearly gasped. Her blonde hair was put up in a tight ponytail, she had on a little too much makeup, and it was all the wrong shades for her. They were sort of relieved that she was wearing the staff shirt in fear of what she would wear with those khaki capris she had on over her slightly pudgy legs. Her lip and eyebrows needed a waxing, and all together she looked ten years older than how old she really was.

"Auntie?" She blinked, and lifted up a small paper with her smudged and chipped baby pink nail polished fingers. "I was told I'd be picking up twins… Are you the Hitachiins?"

"Uhm…" Hikaru's lower eyelids rose as his chin sank.

"Yes, yes we are." Kaoru nodded, ignoring all of the woman's faults.

"Oh, alright." Sighing, the woman pointed to the luggage claim. "Get your suitcases, I'll be standing right here. By the way, my name's Jan." She didn't smile. It was obvious that Jan was obligated to tell her name and be nice to these spoiled boys, and she hated her job a lot.

"Gladly." Hikaru muttered, turning away with Kaoru and making their way to the front of the layers of people looking for their luggage. It was easy because they had entered from behind a group of girls going on vacation. Now was where their maturity showed, the way they treated the disgruntled girl who acted as if she had the worst job in the world.

It didn't take long for the suitcase to come around on the conveyer belt, and the two took the handle simultaneously with one hand each, pulling it back fast and pulling out the pulling handle. They returned to Jan, eyes that said 'Oh dear lord, is commoner camp going to be full of cold fish like these?'

"You guys ready?" She questioned, taking their bowed heads as a nod. "'Kay, good, now I've got one more to pick up." Jan sighed, not bothering to ask if they had separate suitcases like any interested counselor would. All Kaoru and Hikaru could do was hope that the whole staff wasn't as sour as she, let alone the kids. Haruhi seemed to be like that, too. Did all commoners hate fun?

Jan walked away for a moment to stand with the others picking their family, friends, or those they were hired to pick up. The boys just stared at her back. She looked even worse with such an attitude.

"Kaoru, I hope this isn't what commoner camp's going to be like." Hikaru grumbled.

"Same… But she's only one counselor, so it should be fine." He turned to Hikaru and smiled. "Plus, the other attendees should be willing to have a lot more fun anyways, heh."

"Yeah… I guess you're right." Hikaru sighed. He leaned on the suitcase, legs sticking out the back a little too far for those who were walking by with carts to pass with comfort. Kaoru had only his elbow lying on the handle, and he paid very little attention to what he was doing. Within seconds, the handle made a small clock and came down with Kaoru's weight on one of Hikaru's hands.

"AIEE, Kaoru!!" He screeched, spazzing and clutching his throbbing red hand. "What's wrong with you?!" He gasped, feeling exasperated and feeling his breathing become slightly heavier with every pound.

"Hikaru!" Kaoru jumped, taking his brother's hand. "Here, let me see…" Looking at Hikaru's hand, he sighed and gave a small smile. "It's not going to bruise, Hikaru. I'm sorry for being so careless." He took Hikaru's hand and hugged it close on his heart.

"Kaoru." Hikaru blinked, his face looking calmer as if he was ready to get to sleep. Normally, it was him initiating the brotherly love acts. He was happy that they were partially true. The perverse parts were for the ladies, but the way he cared for his brother was entirely sincere, and he knew that Kaoru knew it. He loved his brother so much, and even if this trip would end a disaster, he would still have Kaoru… right?

"Oh… Oh dear lord, no."

"Hm?" the two looked up to see a familiar face. Could it be…?

"Haruhi? You're going to commoner camp, too?" Hikaru gasped. "Wow, I wonder how you afforded it!"

Haruhi frowned deeper. Her expression looked as if she was ready to kill herself, and Jan noticed it fast.

"Don't worry, Haruhi, you won't be seeing them as long as you stay in the girls' building." She reassured, smiling, and patting Haruhi's soft hair. She had a smile on, and it made the twins wonder… Why was she being so nice to Haruhi, and not them? Was she a lesbian or something…?

"How did you guys find out what camp I was going to?" She asked, showing how shocked she was to see them through her words. "Did you plant cameras into my house or something?"

The two chuckled to each other. "We didn't think we'd see you here, Haruhi, we just wanted to go to a commoner camp." Giggling, they took places on either side of her. "But maybe it's fate, eh? An unexpected treat?"

Ignoring their comments and ready to swat their hands off if they tried to touch her, Haruhi's eyebrow twitched. "Thanks, Jan, I think I'm going to stay in the girls' building after all."

"Aww, Haruhi!"

Camp Moral

It was about a ten minute ride on the camp's bus before approaching the camp. The whole way, Kaoru sat by the window daydreaming about camp life, Haruhi sat by him, huddled up for protection, and Hikaru teased her on the end. Jan sat with a fellow counselor on the other side of the three children's seats in the very front, talking to them about random boring stories. Upon arrival, balloons were spread all over the campus, for the camp took place at Denehee College, an all girl's school with four buildings surrounding the quad, a field where tetherball and other games were taking place by those who had already arrived. There, in the archway between two of those buildings' entrances stood a man with another orange staff shirt. He looked like he was too obsessed with his job, and smiled greatly with his clipboard.

Taking once glimpse at Hikaru and Kaoru, he handed them both envelopes. "You two must be the twins we've been expecting!" He said in a goofy tone.

The two switched their envelopes, for he'd given them the wrong ones, but upon looking at them, a look of horror swept their faces. Their folder said as follows:

Name: Hitachiin, Hikaru

Age: Sixteen

House: Beebe

Hall: B6

Room: 4

Name: Hitachiin, Kaoru

Age: Sixteen

House: Beebe

Hall: B6

Room: 12

By this time, all of the new arrivals had been given their folders, and the man was explaining their purpose. Most people had a nervous look on, the twins had a look of shock and anger, and Haruhi looked as calm as can be.

"Inside your folders are your lanyards which must be on at all times, room keys, swipe cards for opening the main building's doors, and a few papers. On those papers are the daily schedule, your classes, and the main events for the whole three weeks! Now on the outside, it says…"

"Excuse me!" Hikaru and Kaoru raised their hands. "We have a problem!"

"Hm? What is it, champs?" He was as corny as ever. Hopefully the others weren't like him, either.

"We were supposed to room together, there's a mistake!"

Haruhi blinked. Hikaru and Kaoru in separate rooms? She looked up at them with a surprised expression. That was a mistake, how would Hikaru live without his Kaoru?

She had a feeling this trip would cause some disaster. Already she had regretted signing up for it.

The man smiled and laughed like Mike Tyson. "Haha, no boys, there are never mistakes! I think you two forgot to register in the same room! We can't change it now, anyways!"

"But--"

"Off to your rooms, everybody! You may only use the elevators for your luggage, after that you need a Dean's pass!" the man called, ignoring Hikaru and Kaoru's situation. There had to be some way out of it. Bribing, maybe? No, they didn't want to deal with the office. At least they were on the same hall… Right?

"Sorry, you guys, hope it goes fine." Haruhi smiled. She walked off into one of the buildings, lanyard already on with the swipe card and key. Taking her suitcase into the elevator, the two watched her until the doors closed.

"…Geez." Hikaru huffed, taking the suitcase and heading for the Beebe building. "What a stupid name, Beebe." He grumbled, letting his anger out on the most trivial things.

"Yeah…" Kaoru sighed. They each walked into the elevator, followed by a blonde boy with a coach handbag and suitcase. The doors closed, and all that was left was a building of tension.

"I cant believe that jerk gave us different rooms, and he tells us there's nothing he can do with a smile! Commoner camp sucks, Kaoru." Hikaru continued ranting. The blonde boy studied them, a bit interested in their mannerisms. He could already see how one of them was different than the other, but he couldn't tell them apart.

"I know, Hikaru, but let's make the best of this, okay?" He sighed, coaxing his brother with one his hands rubbing his brother's back, up and down. "We can pull through, and maybe somebody'll switch rooms with us."

"…I guess."

The elevator stopped, and the blonde boy exited first. He'd noticed the high quality suitcase the two shared, but decided it was nothing, really. He exited into the hallway B6 and with his lanyard, he opened the door to room 12.

"Kaoru," Hikaru grumbled. "…He's your roommate?"

"I guess." Kaoru sighed. "Here, I'll go in your room with you and help you unpack… okay?" Kaoru only offered this because he did not want to leave his brother alone. In reality, he was a bit excited about meeting new people. After Haruhi, he wanted to talk to as many commoners as possible and see how much fun he could have. Still, he had to attend to his antisocial brother.

"…Alright, fine."
