Author's Note- Hey I'm back, with a hopefully good chapter.
Thank you to Eileena of Idreal for your review. Hopefully I fixed my errors in the last chapter.
Chapter 2- Coming Back to Life
I woke up to a child's voice, and I wondered if I was dreaming again, like when I met my mom. But as I slowly cracked my eyes open, I knew in my heart that it wasn't a dream. The memories rushing back at me were real. The tears falling from my eyes were real. And the fact that my heart was shattered was real. I sat up slowly, and Hani-senpai ran forward to glomp me.
"Mitsukuni, get off of her. You're hurting Haruhi." Hani-senpai jumped back with tear filled eyes.
"I'm so sorry Haru-chan! I didn't mean to hurt you! Would cake make you feel better?" Those two were the same. I would probably bet my last few pennies that everyone was else was the same. I was the one that was different. I was the one who was shattered. Damn it, now I sound like Zoey from House of Night or something.
"I'm fine Hani-senpai. My body isn't sore, my heart is, my soul is. With my dad gone, I have no family left. I think that the host club is the only thing that's keeping me from running out the door and commiting suicide." Hani-senpai's tears overflowed, and I opened my arms to him. He jumped into them and started wailing.
"Don't kill yourself Haru-chan!" He shrieked. "That would mean Tama-chan would kill himself, and then the club would fall apart. I don't want it to fall apart! I want us all to stay together. And if you killed yourself, you wouldn't get to eat any more fancy tuna." My face fell. Stupid fancy tuna. Why does it have to be so delicious?
"And the fancy tuna." Hani-senpai tilted his head to the side cutely, and I said, "The host club and the fancy tuna are the only things keeping me here." Mori-senpai smiled slightly, while Hani-senpai was full on beaming.
"Then you shall get fancy tuna!" The twins screamed. I looked past Mori-senpai to see the twins with their fingers in the air like Tamaki-senpai does. I shook my head softly. If my dad had been here, I would be laughing and calling them idiots. But no. Stupid fate had other plans in mind. As I climbed out of the bed, everyone yelped slightly and turned their heads to the side. I looked down and realized why.
Someone had taken me out of my wet clothes and placed me in a small silk nightie. Oh I swear to God if the twins picked this out, I was going to kill them.
"Here." Tamaki-senpai shoved a robe at me. His face was redder than a tomato.
I wrapped it gratefully around myself, and gave Tamaki-senpai a small kiss as a thank you. He gave me a sad grin and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. I looked around me again and finally noticed that we weren't in my house. I remembered last night again, and realized that I was in one of the guest bedrooms at Mori-senpai's house. He had taken me on a tour the first time I came to his house to study, but this is one of the rooms we skipped.
My stomach rumbled slightly, and everyone turned back to look at me. I shrugged gently and said, "I'm kinda hungry. Is there anything to eat around here?"
"To the kitchen!" Tamaki-senpai said. Looks like the overdramatical dork is back. Normally I would have smilled and chuckled slightly, but it seems as if I have lost the ability to smile and to laugh.
I sat down on one of the stools surrounding the table. Someone, a maid would be my guess, sat some cereal in front of me. I looked down at the Lucky Charms floating around in the milk. This had been my father's favorite cereal. I always made me and him a bowl before I left for school. Tears filled my eyes and slipped into the bowl. Kyoya-senpai wiggled his wrist a bit, and Tamaki-senpai growled at him. Kaoru wiggled his wrist as well, and Mori-senpai proceded to growl at him. Hani-senpai and Hikaru just stood there, baring their teeth in grins.
Something was strange about this. What was with the wiggling? And the growling? And the creepy smiling? I was seriously confused. And then it hit me. I suddenly remembered the stories that my mom had told me before she had died. Things about werewolves, vampires, and witches. As I looked around at my adoptive family, I thought about what would fit who.
Tamaki-senpai and Mori-senpai seemed like the most likely people to be werewolves. It was probably because they were the most possesive. Werewolves seemed like they were very possesive. Kyoya-senpai and Kaoru seemed like the most likely witches. Oh God that was scary. The shadow king with witchly powers. I shuddered and looked to Hani-senpai and Hikaru. Those two kind of reminded me of vampires. It was probably because the only thing I ever saw them drink was some kind of red liquid.
I knew I must have some kind of fever when I whispered softly, "You guys remind me of mythical creatures," and everyone turned to look at me. I was positive I had said it quietly. But they had all seemed to hear it. I opened my mouth to say it again when I was cut off.
The twins came and wrapped their arms around me, and said in my ear, "So what do we remind you of? Vampires, werewolves, or witches?" Tamaki-senpai growled again, this one was much scarier. The twins pulled their arms slowly off of me.
"Well... Tamaki-senpai and Mori-senpai remind me of werewolves. Kaoru and Kyoya-senpai seem like witches." Everyone shuddered except the shadow king himself, and I knew they'd thought the same thing I did. "And that leaves Hikaru and Hani-senpai. You two remind me of vampires because the only thing I ever see you drink is some kind of red liquid." They all looked towards each other. Every single one of them nodded. They moved towards me, and I stepped back, growling. Kyoya-senpai wiggled his wrist again, and I snapped an arm up, blocking the wave of magic coming at me.
It was then that I knew. I remembered something my mom had told me right before she was killed. She had told me that I was half werewolf, thanks to her, and half vampire, thanks to my dad. But there was also witch blood running through my veins. They had both been witches before they had been turned, and had vast magical powers. I had blocked it out and convinced myself it had been a dream. But as the host club surrounded me, I knew it was true.
"How did she know to do that?" Kaoru asked. The shadow king shrugged, and narrowed his eyes at me.
"So you finally remembered, did you? Took you long enough." Hani-senpai and Hikaru were standing there grinning like the vampires they were. "All of us have been watching you since the day you were born. We kept an eye on you because you are the only one of your kind. And I can't tell you anymore because we are going to have to erase your memory." Hikaru stepped towards me with his hand out, when Kyoya-senpai cut him off.
"It won't work. She blocked my paralyzer and you all know that's one of my strongest attacks. She's just beginning to tap into her powers. We could get Balthazar in here and he wouldn't be able to wipe her. She's just going to have to deal with it." I smiled. The pain of my father's passing had faded since I realized everything. My world was shattered no more.
"What time is it you guys?" I looked around and suddenly thought of school.
"Around 7:30," Kyoya-senpai answered.
I jumped up, running back up the stairs, screaming, "SHIT! School!" the entire way. When I stopped at my room, I grabbed my boys uniform and shoved it on as fast as I could. I grabbed my bag and ran back down the stairs. The boys were all standing there in their uniforms with their bags slung over their shoulders. "Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier? When did you guys get changed?"
The twins sighed and rolled their eyes. "We've been changed. And we didn't want to tell you because you seemed like you were still pretty shook up." I slapped my forehead, and panted.
"C'mon Haruhi. The car is about to leave." Tamaki-senpai wrapped his arm around my waist, and led me through the door.
"I hope both of you know that you won't be able to show affection like that at school. That would blow Haruhi's cover. And then she wouldn't be able to stay in the host club, and then the twins would have her all to themselves." Tamaki-senpai growled and pulled me closer to him. He glared at the twins, and they raised their hands into the air innocently. But I saw Kaoru wiggled his wrist slightly. I threw my arms up in front of Tamaki-senpai, and blocked the magic. I wiggled my wrist and glared at Kaoru. But just before the magic hit him, I pulled it back. Kyoya-senpai gasped.
"I've never heard of someone who was able to pull their magic back. Haruhi why'd you pull it back? You should have just let it hit me. You're more powerful than I thought. Hmmm. Well this is an interesting devevlopment." He looked to Kyoya-senpai and said, "The Hunters have found out about all of this. They're coming. And they're purpose is too kill us. Every single one."
