The Ginger and The Raven
Chapter 3:
The Beach
At The Time: Kirito Ochino; Age 15
The Narrator: Kirito Ochino; Age 15
A/N: Hey, from the last chapter, remember me saying Kirito's new hairstyle? Just you all won't be confused, imagine Usagi's, aka Sailor Moon's, but butt-length and brown. Okay let us recap and begin the story!
"Oh what drama!" I said, mock-fainting.
"Kiri-nee? Is that you?" Hikaru asked, holding back the stream of tears that were threatening to fall. Oh my, the oh-so-ever-strong Hikaru I left wouldn't ever be caught dead crying. I smiled and nodded. Kaoru's demeanor stayed calm, he didn't cry like when I left them. He was blushing instead and smiling like he was a fool. I smiled at them. I walked over to them and hugged them both.
In my peripheral vision, I saw Yuzuha smile and Kiki put her index finger in her mouth and make vomiting noises. But deep dowm Kiki, was thinking, 'Aww, what a sweet reunion!' She was one of those people, what did they call 'em... Oh yeah, tsunderes.
"Yup, it's me," I whispered into their ears. They got up from that, got a towel, and wiped the hot dog on Hikaru's right side of his face. A good portion had gotten into Kaoru's hair. I laughed.
"It's so not funny, your little friend may have gotten some into my ear permanently," Hikaru joked, dipping his towel in clean, non-salt water. Where he got it from intrigued me, we were on BEACH. There was no other water that wasn't salt water. Prissy little rich twins, I thought in my head, laughing mentally.
"Yeah, she should be on a baseball team. Good aim, but even greater power," Kaoru added, still not being able to get some chili out of his hair.
"Hey, I didn't even plan for that to happen," I said, smiling like crazy as they continued to remove some oil concertrate from themselves. They were so grown-up, they had so much more depth to their body, looked so... hot... Oh my goodness, I'm already thinking weirdly of my best friends! I must've been in the sun too long.
I smiled for what seemed like the zillionth time, I was just so glad I was back. Playing with meh boys.
"You wanna go swimming or are you going to just stand there staring into space?" Hikaru retorted, huffing and rolling his eyes. I muttered, 'Stupid diva.'
"Yeah, we also gotta introduce you to our... after-school club..." Kaoru said slyly.
This was interesting, let's see who has done with these troublesome twins. I grinned, they were acting fishy.
I followed them at saw something... well, I couldn't really describe what I saw. Variety of hot guys, I guess? An energetic, ego-ish blonde. A cool-looking, kinda creepy, raven haired guy. Another blonde, more dirty-blonde, was more childish and had big cocoa eyes. A tall, rock-looking guy. Then there was one who got me curious. He had big, feminine chocolate eyes, short brown hair, a delicate-looking face, a slender figure, and a fair complexion. Total image of the girl a guy wants. But anyway, let's put that aside.
The twins were going to introduce me, little did I know that that introduction was the most crazy in the world.
"Here's Tamaki," Kaoru said, gesturing to the estatic blonde. The next thing that freaked me out was... that guy... kissed my hand...
He kissed me hand while he was kneeling and said, "Hello my princess, I am shunned in your beautiful presence." My eye twitched and I blushed. Strange guy...
"U-uh, thanks..." I managed to reply.
The twins both rolled their eyes and continued. "Kyouya."
His adjusted his glasses and nodded. "Hello, Ochino-san."
"Hey, you're the freak I met not long ago!" I said, pointing towards. A speck of annoyance went through his coal eyes and fled as quickly as it came. Ha, I loved annoying people.
The twins chuckled. "Honey." This little boy crawled all around me, from my feet to my waist to myshoulder. He wasn't very heavy so I didn't even flinch at his weight.
"Hi, I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka! But call me Honey," he said, his childish voice ringing. I nodded, smiling. He was so cute. He got off me and the girliest one stepped foward.
"I'm Haruhi," he/she said. I couldn't really distinguish him/her well. I tried mouthing words, just in case these guys didn't know she was so feminine.
Are you a... girl? -Kirito
How'd you know?- Haruhi She had no expression so I guess she didn't care that I found out.
You have such a fair complexion, big, round chocolate eyes, a slender figure, little humps on your chest... -Kirito
...Oh, I probably have to answer to your questions. -Haruhi
Yeah, like why are you in a boys' club, what is this club anyway, how'd you get such a beautiful face, do these guys know you're a girl? -Kirito
She sweatdropped. I saw that everyone was trying to comprehend what me and Haruhi were talking about. I laughed a little.
Just tell me later- Kirito She nodded.
The twins looked at us and just continued to introduce the last one. He was very tall, stoic as a rock, and tanned. "Mori," he said. Mori was not a man of many words but I wanted to hang out with him for some reason. Behind those dull eyes were kind and softness, I could tell. I guess it was... determination? Interest?
I decided to introduce myself. "I'm Kirito Ochino, nice to meet you all who dealt with the duo of damage," I said, glancing at the twins.
"Hey!" they exclaimed. I giggled.
Haruhi soon walked away and I followed her in suit. I saw the host club, including the twins, standing there wondering why I just left with the only girl.
"Oh, that kinda sucks," I said when she finished explaining how she broke a Renaissiance vase and got into a debt of 8 million Yen. "I could pay it for you." She shook her head quickly.
"No, no! You can't, it's my debt, not yours Kirito-san," she said, looking out to sea.
"Kirito."
"Eh?"
"Only Kirito. No honorific."
"Oh, okay Kirito," Haruhi said, blushing a little. She made me blush, she was definitely a charmer. I can't believe one of the boys haven't fallen in love with her yet... maybe Tamaki, he was sexually harrassing her.
"Well, I am gonna go get a hot dog, you want one?" She shook her head, still looking out to the cerulean, currently sparking, blanket of water. As soon as I left the Hitachiin twins cornered me.
'What were y'all talking about?" Hikaru asked.
"Nothing," I said, trying to get past them. They stayed in my way. I narrowed my eyes. "What?"
"Oh nothing, just tell us-" Hikaru started.
"What you were talking about," Kaoru finished.
"No-" I stopped because I felt it. My gift from Mother Nature came... Oh no, I didn't want them to know. "Okay, we talked about her debt!" I screamed, pushing them out of the way. I ran to Yuzuha's umbrella.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked, lifting up her sunglasses. I groaned loudly, gaining Kiki's attention from her umbrella. She had not really cared about the host club so she was lounging with Yuzu.
"She got her MN gift," she said, her relaxed emotion not changing. Yuzuha looked at Kiki curiously. Apparently, she didn't know the abbreviation. I was in pain. I fell down clutching my stomach, saying 'damnit' over and over again. "She's on her damn period!" Kiki had never yelled at Yuzuha's poster, so I never dreamed of her saying it into her in the flesh. Yuzuha quickly brought out her phone and called for aid. We all went home to the Hitachiin residence, the twins were wondering where we all had gone in a period of 10 minutes. Oh God, 'period'. I want to kill myself by saying that poor pun.
We got my much needed... necessities, and went home and forgot to tell them where I would transfer to complete my last years of high school. Ouran High School, I hope I can make some friends to show me around.
Oh Kirito, you don't have to make new friends. You've got the host club and Chaoki to keep you company. Anyway, in this chapter you can see that Kirito harbors some little feelings for Mori. She's especially confused because she had never experienced love before. Each chapter, I feel like I'm decreasing in quality. Please give me some encouragement and real critique, other than money that's the best thing you can give me. Also, I didn't want to describe Kirito's gift because I don't even want to know. And cuz 'someone' wanted it soon and kept bothering me about it... I don't own Ouran one bit.
