"Shit! Missy! We can't let this happen! Your parents will send me back there and I'll get killed!" Tati said tears brimming her eyes. Missy gave Tati a pillow from the couch they moved onto. As a condition to the Bellamy's adopting Tatiana, a well known but never proven criminal, is that she can't get into any trouble with the Japanese government and laws then they are sending her back to fend for herself in the United States, where there are still dangerous people with deadly grudges after her.
"Now, Now Kyoya-san I know you're a very logical guy, Don't you think we could solve this without the police involved?" Missy tried not to sound pleading but right now that boy had her friends fate in his seemingly twisted, demented hands. He straightened his tie and pushed his glasses to his face the sun blinding his eyes as a smile as devilish as a Cheshire cat's was evident on his face.
"Oh I think that we can make a deal that can benefit both our parties. Do you know that all of the customers are females yet this school is about 57% males?" Kyoya asked informatively.
"Mommy, Daddy doesn't see what your getting at, so what if this school has more men than women, we have almost all of the female population as guests." Tamaki said sitting down next to the girls on the couch.
The twins after strangely being silent since the brash, brazen, and dangerous girls had been thrown into the room. After being pushed away from them by Mori they had been just watching and confiding to each other in a corner. Hikaru watched the Blonde with hungry eyes the way she took charge, they way she took on Kyoya so boldly, left him breathless. But when she broke down there was nothing more he wanted to do was to be the one holding her. He just thought that a girl with that beauty and powerful shouldn't feel so much pain. His twin just looked to the fireball of emotions the brunette emanated through the room, she looked feral like a wild animal, the passion and intensity of her words and actions. But as they regained some composer they rejoined the group listening to Kyoya's plan their president not really catching on.
"Tano, I do believe that Kyoya-senpai is suggesting these beautiful girls become out first hostesses and we will try to bury this little incident don't you think Hikaru?"
"Oh Kaoru, I do believe you are right brother" he took the blonde's chin under his hand lifting her head up to his gaze "These beautiful ladies could enchant anyone of the male population to bring in more revenue."
Missy's normally tolerant nature was gone at that point. And for this arrogant fox like guy to touch her and bring himself so close to her she nearly spat in his face.
"Kitsune, if you don't move your hand now, you won't be able to jack off with it for a while cause I will smash it until it shatters like glass." she said through gritted teeth her teeth, her canines looking like fangs as her eyes looked more a tigers the normally hidden flecks of green livid in anger.
"Now, now Marissa-san, why don't you listen to Kyoya's offer It might not be to bad, I mean you'll get used to the craziness, If I could so can you." Haruhi tried to console the fuming girl. She pushed Haruhi away to collect her thoughts, everything was just coming at her at one time.
"What's your terms Otori." she growled.
"You and Tatiana will talk and flirt with guys the same ways that the hosts treat their customers, you must come every school day after school or any group event that we decide to have. You will be encouraged to perform that nice female romance trick you have maybe talk to the twins on how to make it more profitable. You will have a weekly quota to fill or we will leak information about this 'Incident' and I don't think you want that to happen. Oh and you must also wear anything we give you without complaint. I suggest that you use this time now to interact with the hosts and get used to them since we will be seeing a lot of each other." Kyoya rattled out like it was his plan all along. He walked over to his table sitting down to his laptop taking a break from his little black book trading it for the Clubs expenses, diving into balancing Honey's cake budget. Tati stood up and looked right to Missy, her friend hesitantly nodded.
"We'll take the deal you bastard." Tati growled. Missy calmed her down as they walked back to the couch, the boys trying to get the girls to open up.
Tamaki lined up the hosts in front of the girls "Okay princesses these are the hosts of the host club!" he said rose pedals seeming to blow in out of nowhere.
He took both of there hands walking down the line the boys made.
"This is the oldest host, Mitsukuni Huninozuka-Senpai, our Lolita type, even though he doesn't look it, he's actually 17 years old!" Tamaki said giving him a big hug. The girls just stood there jaws slack looking at the boy who was about 1.45 meters tall.
He held up a large stuffed rabbit "Hello there pretty girls! You can call me Honey! And this is Usa-chan! And behind me is Mori-san, he's my cousin and Tamaki says he's the, strong and silent type isn't that right Mori-san?"
The extremely tall boy behind him had dark brown, almost black hair, chiseled features on an almost unemotional face.
His dark eyes looked down to the girls in front of him "Hai, I'm Mori-san."
Tati was about to say something sarcastic and perverted before Missy elbowed her in the gut "What Tati was about to say is Nice to meet you Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai."
Tati giggled through the pain her friend had given her knowing her all to well, that she would have said something distasteful and crude. Tamaki introduced himself, Haruhi whom her strangely like a pedophile called her 'His Daughter', and the Shadow king, Kyoya.
"Hey Tano, I think you.." Hikaru said.
"..Forgot about us!" Karou said finishing his twins sentences. They had matching snide smiles as they hung off Tamaki's shoulders touching and prodding him like drunk women who were sizing up a man to take home since they were intoxicated enough to take home anyone who met their waning standards.
"GET OFF ME YOU DEVILS!" Tamaki shouted peeling the boys off him running over to the girls. Tati stood cocking her head as Tamaki peeked out over her shoulder. To here these boys were a curiosity, their devilish grins with glints of mischief in their eyes. Tamaki whispered into their ears "And those things are Hikaru and Karou Hitachiin. They along with their mother create our costumes, and they are the Devil types, which along with their twincest act rake in customers, you should learn some things to enhance your.." Tamaki breathed in sharply before grumbling out irritated "Lesbian act."
Missy gave him a weary look as Tati shamelessly stared at the boys. Karou felt her intense stare and then barely motioned for his brother to take his lead when he bent down grabbing her hand gently pressing his lips to her fingers, as his brother came up behind her one arm around her waist, the other moving her hair whispering things that made her cheeks fill beet red as she started to fall more into their clutches when all the sudden there was a loud smack. The girl was ripped from their arms and Hikaru was cradling his head.
"What The Hell Was That!" Hikaru yelled, his infamous temper flaring as he rubbed his hurt head. Missy's head was tilted down her hand lowering down from smacking the back of his friend.
"Kitsune, you better watch yourself. I don't like my friends being messed with. And I smell manwhore off of you from a mile away. I swear, you mess with her, I'm gonna get me a new fur coat from your hide Kitsune." She said in a dark quiet voice almost as if a cloud of darkness surrounded her, Hikaru shut up and headed her advice knowing she was dead serious. Tati started to shake her mind out of the erotic cloud it got stuck in when Missy had pulled her away. She went and sat down trying to regain composer when ah felt the other end of the couch sink lower. A hand grabbed for her shoulder and she reacted on instinct grabbing it and twisting its owners arm into a painful position.
"Owww! Please stop! Owww! I'm Sorry!" one of the twins said to her because at this point Tati couldn't care which one was which, she was exhausted, molested, and her sanity was frayed by the stress of the day. She released his arm and he brought it close to his chest assessing the damage.
"I'm sorry, I'm stressed, my instincts are kicking in, I'd suggest the next time I've had a bad day, don't touch me from behind. I might just end up pinning you to the ground." Tati said slumping back giggling slightly at the violent thought.
"Its okay, I understand, I just wanted to apologize for my brother, he took it way to far. He can be a little inappropriate at times. Some times I wonder if Hikaru is really the older one!" He laughed looking at his brother trying to avoid the blonde girls ever present wrath when all the sudden there was something in his lap. He looked down to see that Tati had laid down on the couch and used his lap as a pillow.
"Karou, I'm gonna take a Little nap, this has just been to much today, that's okay right?" she asked snuggling closer to him. His body started to relax from the stiffness it gained when she laid down at first. He started to run his fingers through her hair mumbling "Sure you can Tati-chan."
Missy growled at the now cowering boy. She sighed and brought a chair over to where he sat on the floor shaking slightly head buried in his knees as he expected more of her anger filled rants, surprised when he heard her laugh.
"Kitsune, get up, you look too pathetic for me to yell at." Missy looked at the boy with a reluctantly caring face like a mother would when a child broke on of their prized possessions. She couldn't help but feel bad, it was her major flaw, she was way to forgiving and she knew it too, but if she didn't help she felt even worse than the person she didn't help. She petted his head and he looked up confused. This girl had practically cut off his balls and force fed them back to him, but then she was different now, she was nice. His hair was nice and soft with stray remnants of product he used to style it, she stroked it trying to calm him down.
He eventually got the hint and sat on the chair she got for him as she grabbed another one.
"So.. How do u and Karou work your act? Do u kiss, flirt, touch each other a lot?" Missy asked hesitantly.
Hikaru blushed slightly imagining himself doing those things to her but tried to stay on topic "Uh, no we don't kiss, we tend to allure to a kiss before our guests pass out from nose bleeds and excessive fangirling, but we do flirt, like we pretend to have our own little games that people may twist as something sexual, but that what makes us so popular, to be good, you need to walk the fine line of mystery, and revealing, like a good dress, show off something's to catch attention, but leave enough covered to make them want more, speaking of dresses, I need to take you and Tati's measurements for the cosplay we sometimes do, if that's not a bother." Hikaru asked in a calm voice.
Haruhi watched them from the other side of the room as she picked up some of honey-sempai's left over cake plates. He was different around her, Missy was able to take Hikaru on and not only tear him a new one, putting him in his place, but calm him down and care for him so that he isn't emotionally unstable and wrecking the place with his mood swings. With in a matter of minutes she was able to talk the impenetrable walls of Hikaru Hitachiin, and make them crumble down and let her in.
Haruhi watched her as Hikaru led her into the dressing rooms with a measuring tape. She thought to herself 'This girl is a one to watch, she's very interesting indeed.'
Tati was awoken to the sun beating down on her face and a giant lurch. She looked around confused and scared at the new somewhat unfamiliar surroundings. She sat up quickly from the backseat of a car sounds were coming into focus, one of her favorite songs from L.I.A., Flashbang.
Life is a war zone!
Got to just learn to survive!
Don't matter if your alone,
All you got to do is stay alive,
So stand your ground!
Join the battle!
Oh just look around!
Set off your own Flashbang!
Missy waited for the heavy guitar to melt away into soft violin for the refrain, she sang as a favor for Nick.
With all of your pain,
And all of your suffering,
They'll call you insane,
So search for the light,
In the darkest of night,
Become so bright, Become your own Flashbang.
She wiped her eyes from the painful, former happy memories, gripping the steering wheel tighter forcing herself not to cry anymore silly tears when a hand went on her tensed shoulder.
"Marissa, its okay, just keep thinking how great it felt then, it wasn't the wrong thing to do. Come on pull over and I'll drive us the rest of the way home." Tati said comforting her unstable friend.
"Yeah your right, I think the woman next to us thought I was about to slam the car into hers." Missy tried to make a joke to lighten the mood, or maybe even convince herself, that its all a big giant terrible joke that would be over in a minute, hating that she was wrong. The rest of the drive home was silent, other than the sound of the gravel driveway and the untrimmed bushes lightly scraping the sides of the car with their leaves. It was hard to find when they were looking for houses in Japan but Missy and Tati found an old American style house that was built by an American soldier who stayed in Japan and married the love of his life, a local farm girl, and built a huge house in the countryside. Missy stepped out of the car getting her keys from her purse opening the door to the huge house looking up too her tower room. {[( A/N: The house basically will be the house from the Movie, Cheaper by the Dozen, cause I just love that house.)]} She grabbed an apple and climbed up the stairs too her Attic room perch, grabbing her laptop and notebook to type up the next chapter in her book in the waning sunlight of the day. Tati set her bag down watching her friend run too her haven, when Marissa had a problem she wasn't like a normal people who would run away from problems, she would lock her self away with them, wallowing in her own hurt and will be unresponsive until she can get over it herself, and realize what was wrong was something she can't control, or stuck in her past.
Tati wondered how long she would be without her real best friend this time when their orange stripped cat, Ginger, jumped on her lap.
"I wonder when she's coming out tonight Gingie, she's still so hurt over him, and Hikaru was really pushing her today, I'm surprised she didn't rip his face off," Ginger purred cuddling in her lap "Karou seems different when he's away from his brother, he's so nice and sweet, and for once he seems genuinely interested in me."
"Now, now, I didn't know that Gingie became the therapist when I'm gone." Missy said coming around the corner heading towards the kitchen taking out some pots and pans.
"Well, I wanted someone too talk to other than a closed door, so what are you coking tonight?" Tati asked setting Ginger on the ground to scamper away as she walked into the kitchen "Do you need any help?"
Missy started to tie her hair up and putting on her apron "I think I'm gonna cook some of my grandma's recipies, are you up for a polish feast?"
"Maybe we should invite some people over? Wouldn't that be fun?" Tati tried to get her out of her depression bubble. Something about cooking always made her happier and more talkative.
After debating in her head if it was a good idea she ignored the depressed voices in her head telling to starve and hide "I guess that's ok, we have plenty of food, not more than 10 though, ok, and I don't want a crazy party, we have school tomorrow still. Did you do your homework?" She asked like a mother would as she started taking out some rice and ground beef.
"Oh of course I did Mamma Rissy." Tati joked as she secretly pulled out her phone texting the only person who could contact everyone she wanted to come.
