Act 2: Knights Who Say Ni
Author: Sorry about the title, I made for the funny people and not the yeah. Any way, The reason for writing this story is so that I can practice more with romance and distract some of my Ouran fans for my other stories for a while cause I'm out of ideas. XP Please tell me what you think and let me know your opinions on it or ideas you might want to share.
After yet a long day, our heroine returns to her new home to find things aren't as they appear. The castle is decorated with many rare and valuable items, even a particular teal vase with many incrusted jewels. Haruhi keeps staring at the vase as though she had seen it some where else once before. She seems to touch it a little and in the next moment the vase breaks in pieces. The lovely little shadow king looms over and announces that she must pay the debt for the vase in pounds. Once again, she pouts and heads over to the other side of the room. As the hours seemed to pass, dinner begins with many different foods, all which seem beautiful in the eyes of this popper. Dinner ends and it's off for bed. Haruhi dreams of this new life and all the future ideas that would rise with it. However, there are some things she sees that could lead…to an utter most defeat…
Haruhi
This place seems dark, smoggy and most importantly has an eerie feeling to it. People hang on walls as prisoners of a crime they or they did not do. Rats scurry along the floor, nibbling on any thing they can find. Across the opposite side of the wall is an in graved text saying, "In the darkness he will rise. To obtain his fate, the lovers must die and in the end the land will be covered in his hate," Who or what is the engraving pointing to? Who is the one to taking over the land? Why are people here like slaves? Something…seems wrong about this place.
"You!" Some one said shouting at me. "You're the one who did this to us! You made this happen!"
"Me? How could that be!?"
"You let him take over. You let him destroy us. You caused this mess!!!"
"I haven't done a thing!!!!"
"You let him die and that's what caused his rule,"
"Who died? Who is destroying this land!?"
"Haru!!!!"
In that moment I heard a sharp yelling sound boom into my ears. I took my pillow and covered my ears to make the pain stop, but "he" kept going at it. That idiot waking me up this early! I just want to sleep!!!
"Haru!!! Wake up!!!! We have things to do and only so little time!!!"
"Senpai, just five more minutes!"
"No!"
"Senpai please,"
"Haru, we need you to get ready so you can learn to waltz at the up coming Ball. Our guests will want to dance with you under the dim lights and you need to get up so that they can!!!"
"SENPAI!!!!" I turned my head ever so slightly to give him the face of death and he so slightly moved an inch away from me.
"Ok…" Tamaki said quivering. "Just five more minutes and then up!"
That idiot slowly walked out of my room and shut the door. I sighed a slept a little longer. That dream didn't come back to me, not even a second of it. I sighed even more because I wanted to know the truth. At last, my five minutes was up and I looked through the wardrobe to find something to wear. I should be thankful me and Haru are about the same height and weight. The only problem was his clothes were a little tight and so I knew my breast would show. I took out some medical wrap that I usually cared with me and bind my breast so they became flatter than how they usually looked. I found the wig which I slipped underneath the bed and placed it on my head, hiding my long strains of hair underneath it. I knew if I hid the wig in the wardrobe or in a draw, some one would bond to find it. Under the bed is usually the last place people look for things. I went to the wash room and quickly took care of my hygiene and headed down stairs where the loons awaited me.
"Haru!!!! Daddy missed you!!!!" Tamaki exclaimed in excitement.
"Yeah well your son doesn't miss you,"
"Mommy!!!! He's being mean again!!!!"
"Tamaki," Kyouya said fixing his glasses. "Let the man have some space. After all, that's probably one reason why he took off in the first place. Your…how should I put it…"
"Clingy?"
"Yes, thank you Haru,"
"I just want to make sure my children are safe that's all,"
"You only have one child milord," Announced the "devil children" Tamaki referred to them as.
"Oh shut up you!!!!"
"Haru, I'd like you to meet the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, the proud rulers over the Land of Grieves," Kyouya said, directing my view towards them.
"It's a pleasure to meet you both," I bent over in respects and they looked at me strange. One of the two picked my head up as the other one came over to my right side.
"Well, don't we have respectful gentlemen," said the one whose hair is parted to the right.
"He seems…interesting to say the least, don't you agree…Hikaru?" said the one whose hair is parted to the left.
"Yes, very interesting. He seems like a totally new Haru if you ask me. Do you think…he's gay Kaoru?"
"What!!!! But I'm not-"
"Ssh," Kaoru said placing a finger on my lips. "Don't rush into things young one. After all, he only asked a rhetorical question. By the looks of it Hikaru, I'd say he's straight, but I think we can fix that,"
"NOOOO!!!! Don't you dare lay a hand on my son!!!" Tamaki said rushing over with brilliant speed.
"Oh relax Tamaki. This won't hurt a bit," Kaoru said kissing my left check.
"Nope, not at all," Hikaru said kissing my right.
"Did you really have to do that?"
"Yes!"
"Geeze, this something I'm going to have to get used to,"
Before long we heard two little foot steps followed by a slightly larger sound. As I turned to face them, I noticed a person who looked more like a child and one who…looks like he could be his older brother. The small child like creature smiled and skipped happily while the older brother just gave a blank expression and looked down upon his younger sibling.
"Tama-Chan were here!!!!" Said the small happy one.
"Hunny senpai, I'm glad you could make it," Tamaki replied.
"Sorry Tama-Chan, but we ran into some meanies along the way. They wanted my Usa-Chan away from me,"
"I'm sorry about that Hunny senpai,"
"It's ok! Me and Takashi fought then off,"
"So who is this Kyouya?" I asked.
"Well Haru, that's your other two good friends. The smallest one is Mitsukuni Haninozuka, but we call him Hunny for short. However, don't let his height and appearances fool you. He's seventeen years old,"
"You have GOT to be kidding me!!!???"
"Nope I'm not kidding Haru,"
"Who knew a small person could be older than me…"
"Now, his companion is a different story. His name is Takashi Morinozuka, but we call him Mori. He's the same age as Hunny senpai, but he doesn't talk much or really do a whole lot, but he is strong and he does attract a lot of customers. These two were a package deal and if Tamaki couldn't get Hunny, then he would have to go with out,"
"I see. So we as knights we attract people?"
"Well, that and we do help out when needed. There aren't many cases where we need to fight, so we decided to show off our beauty instead. We are…"
Suddenly, Mori took out some drums and began playing a drum roll. Like they really needed an intro.
"The Knights Who Say Ni!" Every exclaimed.
"You have got to be kidding!"
"Actually, we are," Kyouya stated. "You see, we are actually…"
Once again, Mori played another drum roll.
"Knights! Kind Noble Intellectual Gentlemen Helping Teens Sexually," Every exclaimed again.
"Now you have got to be kidding!!!!!"
"This time we aren't kidding Haru,"
"I hate you people…."
"Good for you Haru,"
"Haru-Chan!!!!" Hunny exclaimed, jumping onto my back.
"What- what the-"
"Haru-Chan lets go have cake together!"
"I…don't like cake,"
"Then how'd you like to hold my bunny Usa-Chan,"
"I'm not really…into bunnies,"
"You're saying you don't like Usa-Chan,"
In that moment, Hunny senpai gave me the most adorable look ever. I stared the bunny for a while and two little blush marks appeared, as if to say I'm adorable and please love me.
"You know something; it is kind of cute,"
"Really!? Oh! Thank you Haru-Chan!!!!"
"Please don't call me Haru-Chan kid,"
"Now then, we should start teaching you how to waltz shouldn't we?" Kyouya stated.
"Oh right! So, which one of you will be teaching me?"
Every one looked at each for a brief minute. Kyouya stepped back a feet and the twins followed next. Mori grabbed Hunny and both were eliminated leaving me only with one choice and that was the worst choice of all. Tamaki….
"Oh well," Tamaki started to say and blush. "I guess if you want me as a teacher, I could-"
Suddenly, something loud and destructive started coming our way. Thunder clapped and lighting shot around this strange person. Happy strange music played as she approached us. Magical hearts leaped around this person. Then, it stopped in front of me, pointing with the index finger and staring me down like its new prey.
"It's…" The twins mumbled.
"Renge…" Tamaki finished off.
"Ha ha ha! Yes, it is I, the beautiful Mistress Renge here to help out a poor young dog learn how to dance. As your manager, I take full responsibility for whatever happens to this poor sapling! I shall- teach you how to dance as a gentlemen! I'll make a man out of you…Haru!"
"Oh god! Why this crazy chick!?"
"Oh yes, I forgot about Renge. She used to fall over heels for me, but then I told her to back off before my guards chop off her head. You see, she's into Shakespeare Plays and those people who look or whose personalities portray them. I suppose you might resemble a spin off character based on the play "Romeo and Juliet". Although, I haven't seen the play its self, but I heard it was rather interesting,"
"Geeze, thanks. Now I have my first official fan girl,"
"So, this is the new Haru I've been hearing about. He seems, cuter or more…relaxed than before. In fact, he barely has to do a thing. No acting or anything. It's…strange! He's…he's…a natural!"
"Natural?"
"Some one who does things naturally Haru," Kyouya explained.
"Oh, I see,"
"Now, come with me Haru. It's time to learn how to dance!"
So Renge dragged me off into a strange ball room and I looked back upon my new friends, only waving and smiling evilly as my fate relays with this…obsessed fan girl. I only hope I can get out of this alive…
Kyouya
Everything seems to be working out accordingly, but I can't let this relationship happen. If Tamaki falls in love, then my chance of taking the prize is render useless. As a ruler, I must take all the lands to begin my reign. Taking the fools land should be easy and once I claim this land, then all other lands will have to bow down to my power.
As a child, I have watched my brothers gain succession and become powerful rulers. However, some one took their land and thus they went into their back up careers as being doctors. It may pay well, but they still demise those who attacked their land and now use it. One of those was a Souh who took over my brother's land. Now he suffers because of it. My father told me at the start to become friends with this foolish king so that in time his land will become mine. I will destroy the Souh Era if it's the last thing I do!
As Haru was dragged off with Renge, I decided I would leave the rest of the loons to do some personal errands. After all, I need to talk to a good friend of mine. He lives in an area most people fear, but followers of his live there and thus that's how the land lives. He has something that only he can do and that should just be plenty.
"Tamaki," I said turning towards him.
"Yes Kyouya" he replied.
"I have some important documents I need to get done. I'll be back later when Haru is done learning how to dance. Is that fine with you?"
"Well of coarse. Do what you wish Kyouya. Don't let me stop you,"
"Excellent. I'll be off,"
As I left the fools to let them watch their precious new child, I took off for the land of Nekos, the darkest place in the entire area. The master ruler has a special gift, a talent I need to gain my succession. They say he has dark magic and only those who believe in the powers of supernatural can achieve such abilities. However, the down side is that they can not across into the light and must be shrouded in darkness in order to survive.
As I crossed into its dark forest, I saw the different cats and cat shape like objects appear. If you have a fear of cats, then this is not your place to live. One by one more and more cats appeared and so did it's followers. The main city was only a few yards away and that was where the master lived. All but one of his family members live their. He has a younger sibling who is afraid of cats and the dark. He decided to keep her near his land, but also in an area where the light shines freely done by his magic. Apparently she is obsessed with prince and prince like characters such as stories done by Shakespeare.
Now I had reached his home. I rang the cat door bell and I remained calm. The door bell screeched terrible sounds, but I had to remain calm. Finally, he answered the door.
"Well, hello Oothori. What brings you here?" He asked in a mysterious tone of voice.
"You know what I need Nekozawa. It's that time. The time finally arrived,"
"I see. Please come in and we'll discuss the preparations…"
So I entered his dark and eerie home ready to begin with my master plan…
Tamaki
I wonder what is taking Haru so long. Learning to dance is a simple piece of pie and shouldn't require any other work. Unless Renge is teaching him a forbidden dance that causes people to…oh no! That dance shouldn't even exist in this era, it's too soon!!! It's the dance no one goes with out doing…Carmel Dansen.
*Carmelldansen*
If he learns that dance, he'll never be able to stop. I remember once when my father taught it to me; I couldn't stop for three weeks. I felt…this power rushing through me when I did it and it was something that made me who I am today. It gave me the ability of isn't romance. That's how I charm people.
As I sat outside the hall way, I heard the sounds of music and bits of yelling. I could tell Haru was tried by his low out of breath tone, but Renge pushed forward. I just want my dear son back. After all, he needs to learn the dance today because tonight…is a special event that my father placed on me last minute! I must tonight find that special some one and prepare marriage soon! I don't want to marry yet!!!! I'm too young and gorgeous to marry now!
"Haru! Stop messing up!" Renge said from inside the room.
"But I'm tired. Can't I just take a break?" My dearest Haru asked.
"No! Were almost there! I know you can master it, but you just need to dance this last dance and I think you got it!"
"Alright then…"
The music played again, all soft and elegant. It is the music that will decide my fate tonight and forever help me choose my lover. It is the music my parents danced to completely fell in love with and it will be my song as well. I just hope, she shows up tonight.
"Milord," The twins announced in unison.
"Hmm, yes you two?"
"What happens…if you find her tonight? How will that affect…the rest of us?"
"I…I'm unsure. We'll figure something out you two. I promise!"
"But Tama-Chan," Hunny said walking towards me. "I don't want our friendship to break up. It's too soon!"
"I know Hunny, but if I want to become King, then I must marry,"
"Our mother said we don't have to marry. That we can rule alone or together as a family," The twins said.
"You should be lucky I guess,"
Suddenly the doors open and out came a tired Haru. He stumbled and then fell into my arms. He looked at me and then slept, starting to slip out of reach. I quickly grabbed him and lifted him up, cradling him like a new born child.
"Well Renge…how did he do?"
"He…messed up more times then I could count, but in the end he succeeded sir. I promised you a dancer and you received one,"
"Thank you Renge. I better take him to his room and left him sleep for a while. After all, tonight will be his moment to shine…"
