Okay. PreWarning, this chapter is kind of crazy. A lot of confusing stuff happens. Haruhi isn't exactly who we think. But next chapter there is lots of KyoHaru fluff so that's something to look forward to. :D
ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
"WHAT ON EARTH JUST HAPPENED!" Tamaki shouts at the top of his lungs. "MY DARLING DAUGHTER BOLTS FROM THE ROOM AFTER SOME SKETCHY BEAUTY WHISPERS IN HER EAR THEN MOTHER COMES BACK IN WITH DAUGHTER MOANING AND GASPING AND CRYING AND OH MY GOD! I'M SO CONFUSED!"
"Tono… you just confused us all." Kaoru says scratching his head.
"Yeah seriously. I mean I think that is the loudest and fastest I have ever heard you talk Tono." Hikaru nods in agreement.
"Mhmm…" Honey concurs as he munches on a piece of cake.
"How do you both know that women?" Mori says in his usual manor.
"We are… clients of hers." Kyouya says peeking a glance at me.
"Mmmm… yes. Clients I suppose." My suspicions and fears confirmed.
"THEN WHAT WAS WITH YOU BEING IN PAIN! AND YOU KNOWING HOW TO HELP?"
"She tends to know peoples weaknesses." Kyouya says tip toeing around the truth.
"Yes… she does." I nod in agreement.
"But then how would Kyouya know how to fix it?"
"I mean I know he knows just about everything but isn't your weakness thunder storms? How would he know about this other one?" Kaoru asks.
"Our weakness… is the same." Kyouya answers quietly.
"Kyo-chan is afraid of thunderstorms too?" Honey chimes cutely.
"No." Mori says succinctly and pats him on the head.
"Oh… Okay then!" Honey just smiles and takes another bite of cake.
"Can we please talk about this later. I'm rather tired after all of this." I speak up and Kyouya looks down sadly and nods.
Kyouya POV
I had hoped my initial thoughts were wrong but it appears there is no denying it now. I had never thought that Haruhi would be similar to me in any way. I am always cold and calculating. I'd do anything to get ahead. Haruhi always seems the exact opposite, content to just be and get things done. Yes she strives for good grades but who doesn't? And she wasn't a part of any business ventures so that wasn't it. The only thing she wants in life is to be a lawyer like her mother. But wait. Is that really why she made a deal with that devil spawn vixen? Oh, I need to stop thinking and actually pay attention to what is going on around me.
"K-kyouya?" Haruhi's rough voice shakes me out of my thoughts, the dropping of the senpai making my heart leap. Curse that woman and her… dare he say the word, cuteness.
"Yes Haruhi?"
"Are you alright? You have been starring at me for a good five minutes now. The twins even gave up poking you."
"I was just thinking. And shouldn't I be the one asking you if you're alright?"
"I'm fine really." She averts her eyes as I watch the fire inside the ruby flicker and her eyes close a little.
"We need to find a way to get that necklace off of you." I lean down and touch the necklace jumping a bit when it burns the skin on my finger. Her head turns back so the she is facing me again, our faces mere inches from each other.
"How could you make a deal with her?" I whisper more to myself than her.
"That's the thing. I didn't, but she seems to still have something she wants from me. I think she made a deal with my mother." Her eyes darken with emotion and she looks away. My hand immediately shoots up and I turn her head back to face mine.
"Then what does she want with you?" (Ah yes, typical Kyouya, reaching up at a girls face sweetly and then interrogating her.)
"Kyouya, that's a question I ask myself often. Did you make a deal with her?"
"You have dropped the senpai." Her eyes harden.
"That wasn't an answer."
"Why did you drop the senpai?"
"You did didn't you?" I know me looking away gives her her answer. Stupid dark pools of beautiful brown.
"I should have known. You fit her type perfectly."
"What does that mean?"
"Young, ambitious, and struggling, it's the perfect conditions in her line of work." I let my eyes travel to her hand which is now resting on mine sending electricity through my body.
"Do you regret it?" I don't want to answer her. I can't answer her.
"Kyouya!" I look up to see her big brown eyes searching every fiber of my being for the truth.
"Do you?" I stand up and turn around to look out the window. This all seems so very cliché and dramatic.
"No Haruhi. I don't. Not at the moment any way." I listen closely to the rustle of her standing up and picking up her stuff. I listen as the door slowly creaks open.
"And Kyouya, I dropped the senpai because you saved me. We are connected now, even if we don't want to be. Don't worry, tomorrow it will return to senpai as usual." Her voice sounds cold and the click of the door shutting sends a crack through my frozen heart.
Haruhi POV:
I shut the door behind me and frown at the sound of clapping.
"Oh dear, you are just as cold as we are. Telling him you are connected in that icy voice! Oh and the senpai thing. Just brilliant."
"What the hell do you want?"
"Why to catch up with my favorite client."
"I'm not your client Akita. I never will be."
"No need to sound so hostile, we do share blood you know." Akita just smiles psychotically.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I hear my sister stopped by today. How is dear Akira?" Seeing the two of them you wouldn't think they were related unless you focused solely on their facial structure. Akita has shorter straight black hair with blunt straight bangs and has piercing green eyes. She, more often than not, wears skin tight jeans and black tops to match her combat boots that never leave her feet. Anything to show that her skinny butt is actually a bad ass demon.
On the other hand her blonde headed blue eyed sister loves to wear tight dresses to show off her voluptuous curves and high heels. They are so different. It's no wonder I prefer Akita.
"Just as demonic as usual, although her dressed in our schools uniform was a sight to see. She decided to give me a gift."
"Yeah I noticed. That really sucks though I am surprised she hasn't put it on you sooner. Here, let me try a go at removing it." I stand still as Akita slowly reaches her hands out to work her magic.
"Why do you help me?"
"Like I said Haruhi, we share blood."
"I still don't understand how that's possible but whatever."
"One day I will explain it for you. For now I want to hear about lover boy in there who is currently thinking way too deeply about your tone of voice."
"Oh… he is the boy I have loved since I first got forced into being a part of that stupid club… and one of Akira's clients." I watch as Akita scrunches her face.
"What happened with that blonde half blood?"
"He liked me too much for his own good and I couldn't do it. Kyouya was always there in the back of my mind accusing me of leading Tamaki on."
"That really sucks Haru. The good news is I can remove that damned necklace." I smile as she slowly unclips the necklace from my neck and it bursts into blue flames. I suddenly feel ten times lighter.
"Thank you." I watch as she conjures up a necklace with a sapphire on a black ribbon.
"No problem. This should protect you from her magic if she pesters you again. She won't be able to remove it if you don't let her." I stand still as the cold necklace falls around my neck gracefully. Unlike the ruby necklace hers electrifies my skin with pin pricks of cold and makes me feel safe.
"Thank you Akita."
"No prob Haru. I should get going. People to see, souls to free." She smiles and starts to fizz out of focus.
"That rhymed!" I shout as she finally disappears in a cloud of sparkly raven black.
Ever since that day in the ally the sisters had been both a nuisance and a gift. Akita became my friend, Akira, my enemy, both showing up occasionally to give me hell or to reverse magic gone wrong, both always hinting at something that I never quite understand.
I know I am oblivious but I am a smart girl. It just isn't possible to be related to demons.
So TWIST! Lol Haruhi knows them… And could be related to demons. And evil Akira has a kick ass sister who helps Haruhi. Did I lose you guys? Is this overly confusing? DO I SUCK! See I am helpless without you guys doing a little something for me called REVIEWING! So please go click that button or I might send Akira and Akita after your soul. And no one likes that. :D
