No Way Out
Chapter Two
Haruhi
I walk into the host club. A few people turn around, and stare at me. The others in the room go on about their business. I sit at my table and wait for my customers to come. I was surprised that I still had customers. But technically only some of the younger students made fun of me, and only a handful of kids my age made fun of me. But Kyoya, and Tamaki made it a rule that if any customers are caught spreading gossip of any of the members they would be banned from the club. A few were banned. But the other's are sneaky about it. I see my first five customers coming. Valkyrie Lane, Sakura Lane, Taki Lane, Rin Lane, and Takara Lane. They were sisters. They sit down at my table.
"Good morning ladies." I said.
"Good morning Haruhi." They said in unison.
"Haruhi are you okay?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked.
"Because we saw that boy harassing you today, in the hall." Valkyrie said.
They saw that!
"And we also saw those girls calling you jack it." Rin said.
"You saw that." I said quietly to myself, looking down at my hands.
"Yes." They said in unison.
"And we think it's wrong!" Taki said.
"I'm glad you care, but it'll all blow over soon." I said, mostly reinsuring myself.
"It's been three months!" They said in unison, again.
"It's okay. Lets talk about something else." I said in a desperate attempt to change the subject.
"Okay." They said in unison, again! But no one says anything. It just really quiet where we are. Everyone else was talking except for us. It was kind of awkward. We sat there like that for at least three minutes.
"Oh come on Haruhi!" Yelled Sakura. It startled me. Then the others started yelling too.
"You can't let them do this to you!" Yell Valkyrie.
"It's not fair!" Yelled Rin.
"It's inhuman treatment!" Yelled Taki.
"They act as if they've never done it before." Yelled Takara.
"Masturbating is perfectly normal!" They said in unison. More like yelled in unison! Everyone turned around, and stared at our table. It got quiet. But the Lane sister's continued to yell.
"You have to say no Haruhi!" Taki yelled.
"You can't let them treat you like this!" They said in unison.
"Uh!" I said stupidly. What I meant to say was. 'Shut the fuck up you idiots, everyone's staring!'
"Don't act like you didn't notice Haruhi!" Sakura yelled.
"Notice what." I said.
"That the entire school is harassing you!" they yelled in unison.
"Harassing!" I heard Tamaki say surprised. He was right behind me.
"Yes!" They said. I sink into my chair, and try to hide my face.
"MY HARUHI!" Tamaki yelled even louder! Damn!
"YES!" They yelled even louder than Tamaki.
"Haruhi. Is this true?" Tamaki said as he got to his knees. Now he wants to be quiet!
"No!" I said loudly.
"Shhh. We don't want to let everyone else in the club know!" He said.
I can't believe this unbelievable asshole!
"Now answer me again, but quietly. Okay?" I nod my head, I was biting my lower lip. I swear I was ready to kill someone! Tamaki preferably!
"No." I say more quietly.
"Yes!" The Lane sister's say in unison.
"Okay!" I say irritated. "Yes, but it's nothing serious."
"Someone chased you through the school!" The sister's said in unison.
"Someone chased you!" Tamaki yelled as he stood up.
"No." I said.
"Yes." the Lane sisters said. I sigh, and sit up in my chair.
"Fine, but it only happened once." I said.
"Actually." Takara said as she took a small notebook out of her book bag.
"I've been keeping tabs on the events. This is the third time this week you were chased." she flipped through the book again. "And the name calling by those girls, started the day after we found out you were an abusive, chronic masturbating homosexual." She said as she closed the notebook, and put it back in her bag. I sat with look on my face. I didn't know they were keeping track of all this. This isn't even my fault. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Tamaki lunged for me with his arms extended. "It's okay Haruhi, daddy will make it all better!"
I held out my hand out, and my palm smacked against his forehead sending him flying back on his ass. He got up, and tried again, and again, and again.
"Haruhi, why won't you let daddy help you!" He cried.
"I don't need your help." I said as I got up.
"Kyoya, Haruhi won't let Daddy help." He said crying to Kyoya. Kyoya turned around, and he had anger in his voice when he spoke.
"Tamaki." He said slowly, and angrily.
" Yes." Tamaki said happily.
"Get the hell away from me. I have no tolerance for your bullshit today. You got that?" Kyoya said as he turned his back on Tamaki.
"Yes, mommy." Tamaki said as he backed away slowly from Kyoya.
"Don't call me that!" Yelled Kyoya.
I got up from the table, and ran out the room. I couldn't take it anymore! I have to be alone. I get my things from my locker, and I run out of the school. I stop running that the street light. I see two girls get back hands by a man in a purple suit with a feather in his hat. One girl had on a super short mini shirt it was purple, and she had on a black tank top on with it. The other girl had on tight shorts. They were really, really, really short! She also had on a revealing top. The girl with the purple shorts hide behind the other girl. The girl in the front gave the man a stack of money.
"It's about time hoe!" He yelled as he snatched the money out of her hands. He raised his hand as if he was going to hit them again. They flinched away from him. This was the eighth time I've seen this happen. The same two girls, the same man using the same hand to hit them, and the same corner. And more or least; the same time too! I've been observing them for a while. For the last three months. The light turns red, and I cross the street. When I got home, I went straight to my room.
"Hi honey." Dad said.
"Hey." I said, and I closed my bedroom door. It is the third day of May this charade has gone on long enough. It's time to put my plan into action!
Hikaru
The limo pulls up to our house. Kaoru, and I get out. I take Kaoru to our room. He lays back on the bed, and I change out of my school uniform.
"What are we going to do now?" Kaoru asked.
"I'm not sure." I said as I pulled on my pants. I sit on the bed next to Kaoru. He too had just changed out of his uniform.
"For all we know this could be a prank or something." I said.
"A prank! How could something this serious be a prank? Hikaru someone knows that we really had that magazine, and that we're letting Haruhi take the balm for it!" Kaoru said. He started to yell. I quiet him down.
"Be quiet! You want the entire world to know!" I said "Calm down! No one will find out. We have less than a month of school left. We'll get through it!" I said as I laid back in the bed. Kaoru laid down by me. I turned towards him, and wrapped my arm around his waist. I get real close to him.
"It's okay Kaoru." I whispered in his ear. He turns toward me, and buries his head in his chest. We fall asleep like that.
Kaoru
I heard a faint ringing. I but I ignore it, and try to sleep again. Then I here it again.
"Kaoru answer the phone." Hikaru said sleepily as he let go of me, and turned around. I turn toward the night stand. My cell phone was ringing. I pick it up. The caller ID said private number. I open my phone. It was another text message.
My eyes pop open. I was fully awake now. I look over to Hikaru. He was turned the opposite direction, but I don't know if he was asleep. I close the phone, and lay down.
"Who was it." I heard Hikaru ask. He turned around towards me. I turned my head away so I didn't see him. Because if he saw me, he would have known for sure who it was.
"Kaoru! Who was it!" Hikaru said, fully awake. I felt him sit up in bed. I pull the cover over my head, and try my best to wipe the tears away.
Hikaru
"Damn it Kaoru! Who was it!" I almost yelled. He didn't come from under the cover. I had a feeling about who it was though. I reach over Kaoru, and grabbed his phone. I opened it. He hadn't gotten a phone, but he had gotten another text message.
The ultimate price for being a crowd is to repay with your body, and soul.
The price for a liar is physical pain, and sacrifice. Your price will be both, and then some.
From: P.I.M.P
I sit there for a moment. I wasn't sure why I was shocked. I was expecting this; almost. Part of me was hoping that it was something else but I guess I was lying to myself. I turn to look at Kaoru. He was still under the covers, but I could see him shaking. I slowly pull the cover off of him. I slide close to him, and grab hold of his waist. I pulled him close to my body. He was still shaking.
"Kaoru." I whispered in his ear. "Its okay."
"No it's not!" He said through tears. "And don't say it's probably some joke, because it's not!" I know it's not a joke, I know this is serious.
"Kaoru." I said again. But I had nothing to say.
"What." He said harshly. I sigh, and lay my head on his back.
"It'll be alright." I said half-heartedly. I didn't believe those words my self.
The next day…
Haruhi
I get out of bed, and go into the kitchen. I see my dad cooking(and burning) eggs. I sigh, and sit down. He comes over to me with two plates. He sets one in front of me, and one in front of him. I look at it in disgust. I felt sorry for those eggs. but not sorry enough to eat them. I push the plate away. I see dad put a fork full in his mouth, and spit it right out. He pushed his plate away too.
"I got you that outfit you wanted." he said after a few minutes of silence.
"Really!" I said.
"Yeah." he went into the living room, and I followed. He picked up a bag that was on the couch. He pulled out a dress suit. It was purple. I took it from his hands.
"Thanks dad." I said as I run to my room. "I'm going to try it on!" I said. I get into my room. It was 7:30. School started at eight. I put the suit on. It was a woman's suit. I think a mans suit would have been more suitable. But this will do. I fold the suit, and put it back in the bag. I put the entire thing in my back pack. Ten minutes later I'm ready for school. I run past my dad, and towards the door.
"Bye Dad, and thanks again."
"Bye honey." he said as closed the door. I run down the street as fast as possible.
I get to Ouran, and I see everyone going inside the school. I walk inside the gate, and head up the stairs. I see Hikaru, and Kaoru's limo pull up in from of the school. They get out. Hikaru had a thoughtful expression on his face. Kaoru looked a mess. He looked all shook up.
"Ha." I said to myself as I walked into the school.
Hikaru
"Kaoru calm down." I whispered as we walked up the stairs of the school.
"Whatever. Somebody's out to get us, and you want me to calm down!" he said.
We walked pass Haruhi. She had a smug look on her face even though there was the same group of girls from yesterday harassing her again. She ignored them, and kept her eyes in her phone. Kaoru turned around towards her. I grab him by his shoulder.
"No." I whispered fiercely in his ear.
"But it's our fault!" Kaoru said kind of loud.
"No!" I said again. He tried to snatch away from me, but I held on to his waist, and started walking faster.
"If we help her then maybe this will stop!" Kaoru yelled.
"No! Fuck her." I said. I took Kaoru to the Bathroom, and dropped him on the floor.
"You idiot! Why would you do that!" I yelled. Kaoru winced. 4
"You could have ruined everything!." I yelled again.
"Everything?" He whispered.
"Yes, everything!' I yelled. "Our reputation.""Reputation!" He yelled back.
"We ruined HARUHI'S reputation!" He yelled.
"I know! Don't you think I know that! I was there too! I was there when it happened!" I yelled back at him.
"Your being selfish!" He yelled back at me. I went quiet.
"You don't care about nobody but yourself," He said through tears. "All you care about it our stupid reputation. Haruhi's life is ruined, because of us."
"She'll get over it," We both said, but he continued.
"Is that all you can say about her. You probably don't even care about me!" I slump to the ground, and grab Kaoru in my arms. We stay like that for a while.
"Kaoru."
"Hmm." He was still crying.
"I do care about you. I'm sorry if I come off as 'selfish' to you but I guess I was just trying to protect myself." I feel Kaoru sigh in my arms.
"I'm sorry, I guess I'm just not good at this sort of thing."
"So we'll tell everyone the truth." Hell no!
"I'm sorry Kaoru." He snatch away from me.
"I hate you!" he yelled. I grab his wrist, and pull him back to me. He tried to pull away but he wasn't strong enough. He started crying again.
"Shhh." I said quietly, and rocked him.
"I hate you. I hate you. I hate you…" He said quietly.
"I know, it's okay." I said quietly.
Lunch time…
Haruhi
I gather my thing, and go to my locker to exchange my math books for the reading books. I walked to the library, and look inside. Nobody! I walk inside, and sit in the back. I pull out my phone, and check my mailbox. Nothing! Whatever. CRASH! I jumped up in my seat. What the hell was that! My table was facing the front of the room, and the sound came from the left side of the library. I went over there, and I see Tamaki, and Kyoya.
"Tamaki!" Kyoya whispered fiercely to Tamaki.
"Sorry!" Tamaki said as he bent down to pick them up. Kyoya looked up, and saw me.
"Hello Haruhi." Tamaki turned around towards me.
"Haruhi!" Tamaki said loudly. He literally jumped on me. I kind of wish he hated me too! Maybe he wouldn't even look in my direction. Maybe there is a bright side to this.
"Get off of me!" I said as I pushed him back.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"We said be asking you the same thing." Kyoya said. As he put the books back on the shelf.
"What happened." I said.
"Nothing, we were tying to get this book." Tamaki said as he went back to picking up books, and putting them on shelves.
"What book?" I asked as I picked up the last few books, and shelved them.
"This one!" Tamaki said as he held up a guide book.
"Bullying for dummies." I said as I read the cover. Kyoya sighed, and shook his head.
"Yep!" Tamaki said happily.
"Why do you have that book?" I asked.
"Because I want to know why people bully people." He said as he flipped through the book.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I think if we under stand the bully's ways we'll know why the bully bullies!" Tamaki exclaimed.
Damn…!
Kyoya, and I sighed at the same time.
"Good luck with that." I said as I turned around, and headed back to the table I was at.
Later at club…
Kaoru
I sit next to Hikaru as we wait for our guest to arrive. I stare at him. He looked just like me, but yet we were so different. He was selfish, and sometimes ignorant. Me, I think I'm on the kinder side. Last night around four or five in the morning I had a nightmare. I dreamt that I went around crushing bunch of Haruhi's, and I woke up. I was anxious. So Hikaru put his arm around me, and kissed me.
"Don't be scared. Your not a bad person. You're my better half." He whispered in my ear.
"Their here." Hikaru said, snapping me out of my daydream.
"Hello." The girls said together. Yamato, and Mao, and Yuri sit down in front of us.
"Good afternoon." Hikaru, and I said simultaneously.
"How have you two been." Yamato asked.
"Great, how have you been." Hikaru, and I said at the same time as we both leaned on the arm of our chair. He leaned on his right, and I leaned on my left.
"We'll that Haruhi boy has gotten boring to play with." Mao said as she glared in Haruhi's direction.
"Yeah." Yamato added. "We tried to get his attention today. We called him every name in the book, but he ignored us."
"If you ask me I think he's even more boring than before we found out he was homosexual." Yuri said.
I didn't look at Hikaru's direction, but I knew he had the same expression as I did. Pale white.
Hikaru
I glace over at Kaoru. He had the exact same expression on his face that I had on mine. Pale white. We both didn't say anything for a few seconds.
"Excuse me." I finally said.
"I said, that Haruhi boy, has gotten rather boring to play with." Mao repeated.
"I thought you said that." Kaoru, and I both looked up behind Mao. Kyoya was standing right behind them.
"Hello Kyoya-sempi." The girls said.
"Hello ladies. I'm sorry but I will have to ask you three to leave for today." Kyoya said.
"Why!" The girls exclaimed at the same time.
"For gossiping about our members." Kyoya said sternly.
"That was hardly gossip!" Yuri exclaimed. The entire host club turned around.
"I'm making you leave for the day, consider that a warning! Next time I'll banned you for good." Kyoya said sternly. The girls got up, and left the club.
"Thanks a lot Kyoya. There go our customers." I said as I rose up from my seat, and stretched.
"They knew the cost." Kyoya said as he walked away.
After club…
Kaoru, and I are the last ones to leave club. We walk through the hall of our school.
"Hikaru." Kaoru said.
"Yeah?"
"What's gonna happen know?" He asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"Humph." he said. We both sighed.
We turned the corner, and saw something that shocked both of us.
Haruhi in a purple suit!
Haruhi
There they are! I turn facing them.
"What are you wearing?" Hikaru asked.
"A suit!" I said harshly.
"Why?" Kaoru asked.
"It's for my new job." I said.
"What new job?" Kaoru asked.
"None of your business!" I said loudly.
" What do you think you are? A pimp!" Hikaru said.
I had an expression on my face that 'duh'.
Hikaru, and Kaoru's eyes widen. They exchanged a look.
They back up, and huddle together.
"Hey!" I yelled. They turn around towards me. "Stop that!"
Kaoru walked towards me.
"Haruhi. We're sor-"
"Cut the bullshit Kaoru!" He winced away from me.
"You can't talk to him like tha-" I back hand Hikaru, and he goes flying against the wall.
"Shut the fuck up." Kaoru ran to Hikaru's side.
"Hikaru! Are you ok-"
"I said shut the fuck up!" I yelled. They both turn around towards me. Shocked.
"If you were really sorry you would have never let this happen to me! I thought we were friends! I didn't tell anyone who magazine because I though you two had integrity! But you're cowards!" I said.
"Haru-" Kaoru started.
"Don't called me that!" I yelled. "Don't speak! Unless I tell you too! Or else." Damn this made me feel a lot better. They got quiet again.
"Now because of you two I now have a 20 million yen dept to pay! My dad can barely afford to pay the bills, let alone the rent! This damn suit cost almost 200 dollars. Do you know how far that set him back from being able to pay our mortgage?" They were still quiet.
"So you want money?" Hikaru asked.
"Shit! Fuck that! You mothers fucker's are millionaires! You probably sleep on 20 million every night! I want you to work for it!" I yelled.
"What." They said at the same time.
"That! Don't do that! That pisses me off! Don't piss me off!" I yelled as I paced in front of them. They watched me quietly.
"Don't look at me!" I yelled. They averted their eyes to each other. I continued to pace back, and forth, breathing heavily from yelling. It was like that for a few minutes. Until Kaoru spoke up.
"Um. How are we going to earn you 20 million yen." Kaoru said. I gave him a death glare. He turned hi head quickly, and lower his glace. Damn that felt good. Like a breath of fresh air.
"Easy, your gonna be my sluts!" I said with a smug look on my face.
"What?" They said at the same time.
"What the fuck did I just say about doing that?" They got quiet again.
"But why?" Hikaru asked.
I raised my hand to slap Hikaru. He tried to back up, but he remembered he was on the wall, so closed his eyes tightly. Kaoru tried to ease his body around his brother. I decided against slapping them both for doing that. I'll put a stop to that altogether anyways. I put my hand down.
"The ultimate for being a coward is to repay with your body, and soul. The price for a liar is physical pain, and sacrifice. Your price will be both, and then some." I said.
"From Pimp." They said together. I glare at them. They turn their head back to each other.
"From me!" I said. They stared surprised at me.
"And that is exactly how you will repay me." I said as I walked away.
"That exactly how you'll repay me." I said to myself.
"Hikaru I'm scared." I heard Kaoru whisper.
"Be scared! It's a good idea, and the right emotion for this situation!" I yelled back towards them as I walked out the building.
