-Making Things Complicated-Situation-
-x-
Haruhi was looking for escape routes, but in finding that all that doors were barricaded shut and the room lack any sign of windows, she had given up on the idea of freedom. She rarely read those American books but she knew the consequences of being kidnapped by the blondes. There was no magical cloud with a silver lining. She was going to die here. And the though that she had raveled two innocent bystanders into the mess too was not something she was too proud of.
"Hikaru..." one of them whispered, clinging to the others arm, as his obviously brother, Hikaru, tried to keep a straight face at the wacky situation he had found himself in.
"Yeah Kaoru?" he answered, giddiness creeping unwelcome into his voice.
"Who are these people?"
Haruhi could only presume, and most likely presume right considering the situation, that he meant the three blonde girls in front of them. One was about in sophomore year, quite tall with her shiny hair tied back in two curly bunches. The second was rather small and slight, her skirt actually reaching her knees-that couldn't be said for the other two- while her hair was loose and hanging around her face.
The final one was quite striking, even when compared to the other two. Her eyes were blue and piercing. She was just the right height and weight and size and her hair was tied back in a long sleek ponytail, her bangs framing her heart shaped face.
"So," said cheerleader started, but was interrupted by the boy, Kaoru.
"Who the hell are you?" he interjected, scowling as he clutched the other's arm even tighter.
The girl smirked sadistically, almost cackling with glee as Kaoru gave a whimper and tried to hide behind Hikaru, just to receive a 'stop being a baby' from the other.
"Well well, I forgot to introduce ourselves," she smirked, waving at the first girl, "Becca, 2A," she waved at the small girl who gave a wide smile, "Juli, 2A," and then she pointed at herself and proclaimed, "And of course, me! Kirsty, 3A, the leader, and at your service."
She shot a smile at the three prisoners, momentarily blinding them and bringing the twins back only a few unwanted memories of the idiotic king that they hadn't heard from in over a year.
"Haruhi-chan!" Juli chirped, skipping forward with a bundle of clothes, "This is going to be your club uniform!"
Haruhi didn't question how they knew her name or clothes size, and just took the clothes. She did, however, question the quality, or more like quantity of the clothes, "Where's the rest of them?" she asked politely, as she looked at the short skirt and sleeveless top. Maybe they had just forgotten to give her the rest, like a long sleeved jumper, or shorts to wear as well.
"Thats all of them," Becca said, smiling, "Is there a problem?"
Haruhi sweat dropped, "Ah, no...They're fine..." she twitched as she looked at them again, sighing, and taking them to the changing room that had just appeared for plot related reasons.
"So," Hikaru started once Haruhi was gone, but was easily cut off by the tall blonde senior.
"You two are here, why?" she asked, waving her hand in exasperation as she awaited answer.
"You brought us here," Hikaru countered.
"Oh right, right," she said carelessly, "Haruhi dear knows you, huh?"
Hikaru ignored the bemused look Kaoru gave him.

Hikaru Hitachiin was walking fast. He really didn't like being apart from his brother for too long and it had already been over three minutes since Kaoru had left him in the company of Tamaki Suoh. He could barely see the figure of his twin in the distance.
'God! He walks so flippin' fast!' he thought in frustration, breaking into a jog in a desperate, fruitless attempt to catch up. He ran past the school's fountain, not noticing the girl on the wall around it, trying to get a better look of the clock tower, until it was too late and she had slipped.
She gave a shriek of surpirse, cussing lightly as she tumbled into the water, the splashing alerting Hikaru, causing him to turn around. He then cussed, doing a u-turn and hopping on the wall, ignoring the fact that the fountain wasn't at all deep enough to drown in or anything, and waded over to the soaked girl.
He clutched her arm, yanking her up and dragging her, ignoring her protests, out of the water. She sputtered, looking up at him strangely. "T-thanks...," she managed.
Hikaru looked up to see Kaoru, in surprise, making his way towards them...
-x-
"Yeah," he said shakily, "I know her."
If 'know' means saving her from a fountain and then ditching her on the wall in the place of your brother, then yes, he had the pleasure of knowing Haruhi Fujioka.
Kirsty smirked, causing Hikaru to become suspicious. "Well then. Can you play sport?"
Hikaru thought of all the swimming and tennis lessons him and Kaoru never went to and shook his head, "Nope."
"Learn," came the simple order.
Hikaru was just about to ask why when Haruhi appeared from the changing room. The older twin felt his mouth fall open and Kaoru's unnoticed clutch on his arm get even tighter. The skirt reached mid thigh, and the top ended before the waistband of the skirt started, leaving a small amount of skin showing...there. There was a lot of skin showing elsewhere.
Haruhi glared at Hikaru who then firmly closed his mouth and tried to smile reassuringly at her but just ended up looking like a pervert again. She sighed, turning to the blondes who were giving her thumbs up. "It is a bit short, but I guess I could find shorts at home to wear under it so I wont feel uncomfortable. Is that okay?"
Kirsty was just about to protest when the other two butted in, "Yes sure sure thats fine!" they chirped together.
Kirsty sighed, "Well, I suppose...You are free to go."
Kaoru breathed out a sigh of relief, letting go of Hikaru's arm. "Oh, and Hikaru," Kirsty continued, in a sly voice that made Kaoru freeze again, "Learn how to play basketball, would you?"
"Why," he questioned.
"Just do it."
Hikaru shrugged, allowing Kaoru to pull him from the room, Haruhi jogging behind them. Once outside, they all let out a sigh of relief. Haruhi turned to them with an apologetic look. "Sorry fro getting you guys wrapped up too."
"S'okay," Hikaru grinned, "Your names Haruhi?"
"Yes. And you are Hikaru and Kaoru, right?"
Hikaru nodded happily as Kaoru looked Haruhi up and down warily. Then he looked up at Hikaru. Then he sighed. "Hikaru. If you want to learn how to play basketball, we better go home...now."
Hikaru looked at his brother grinning, "Sure! See you tomorrow Haruhi!"
"Uh, bye?"
And when Kaoru looked up at Hikaru's grinning face and back at Haruhi, he noticed that his world might just break...just a little bit...
-x-
"Hikaru, the rules are simple," Kaoru sighed, for the umpteenth time as Hikaru complained again, "All you have to do is throw the Goddamn ball into the hoop. But you cant hold the ball while running more than three steps, you have to bounce it, see?" Kaoru bounced the ball while jogging and threw it, easily getting it into the hoop as Hikaru clapped halfheartedly.
"Okay, I think I've got it," Hikaru told him, catching the ball as Kaoru threw it to him. He ran forward, bouncing the ball and launched himself into the air. And missed. He fell back to the ground with a thud, his bottom lip jutted out in a sulky expression as the ball rolled away from him.
"Have another go," Kaoru encouraged, handing the ball back to him.
"Kaoru!" he protested, "Its no use! We've been trying for over two hours! I'll never get it in," with that comment, he threw the ball away, but threw a little too high, causing the ball to hit of the roof and easily slide through the hoop.
Hikaru and Kaoru stood in complete and utter shock. "Well," Kaoru coughed, "Looks like you can do it after all."
"Yes, looks like he can do it."
The twins froze, turning to the sound of the infamous voice. Kirsty was standing there, still in her cheerleading costume, smirking, as usual, with Juli and Becca behind her, holding on to Haruhi so she couldn't escape on them.
"Uh," Hikaru started.
"How did you know where we live?" Kaoru finished, looking strangely at them.
"I have my ways," Kirsty brushed off, "Anyway, you're in."
"I'm gonna be a cheerleader?"
Kirsty sighed, exasperated at that idiotic comment, "No, you're on the basketball team."
"But I don't like basketball! And I cant play!"
"I saw you play just there!" Becca laughed, not catching the looks Kaoru was giving her, telling her to keep her mouth shut, "You're good!"
"Thank...you?" Hikaru said, confused, "So...we're in?"
Kirsty looked at him questionably. "I presume when you said 'we' just now, you meant you and your brother there-" she recieved a nod- "Ah, but I wanted you. Are you a package deal or something?-" another nod- "Oh, well I guess your little twin here could get a place t-"
"I dont wanna play."
Hikaru turned to face Kaoru, bemused. "Buuuuut, Kaoru!" he complained at his serious looking twin, "You're better than me anyway! And I have to play and it'll be no fun without you!"
"Its no fun anyway," came the curt reply, "I want you to play, but I'm out of this."
Hikaru sighed, "Fine. I'll play."
Kaoru's head shot up. Kirsty smirked again, "Well, that settles it. You'll play. Practice is on Wednesdays, same as cheerleading."
Hikaru smiled at her, "Okay, thanks?" he shot a grin at Haruhi then, and ran inside.
'Why do they even want him to play basketball anyway? What do they have to gain?' Kaoru thought absentmindedly as the blondes and poor Haruhi walked away.
As if reading his mind, Kirsty looked back over her shoulder, wearing a sadistic grin. "Because every cheerleader needs a guy who can play sports, huh?"
Kaoru just picked up the basketball while his mind screamed...
