OURAN CHRONICLES: The Otherworldly Meeting
The sun was shining brightly high up in the sky, over the roofs of extravagantly HUGE building known as the 'Ouran Academy', a school which placed the most richest and successful people's childrens from the whole country, maybe even the world!
Chirps of rare and exotic birds, specially imported from the depths of the Amazon Rainforest, could be heard from the shady branches of the top-quality Sakura trees located in the school's vast compound... But none of the people standing in the middle of the field even seem to noticed that right now.
Five people, along with a talking, living... Mokona, were standing like still statues on the open ground. Each of them trying to think up which words or actions would be the most appropriate for their current predicament.
One of the outsiders, a lean and bishonen blond named Fye, once again greeted a certain brown-haired local who have just appeared before them only one minute ago, "Hi!"
Haruhi [ The local] blinked, before replying hesitantly, "Umm...Hi?"
Silence ensued.
Kurogane's body suddenly shook with inner rage, the silence is starting to get to him. He gritted his teeth, "Will somebody just say a BLASTED WORD already?! Darn it!!"
Sakura, Syouran and Haruhi sweatdropped. Fye simply shot an innocent look at Kurogane, "But I did say something, Mr. Macho. I said hi!"
"Hi! Hi!" Mokona wiggles out of Kurogane's iron grip and jumped into Fye's inviting hands, "He just said hi, Mr. Macho!"
Fye gave Kurogane a grin, "Should you get your ears checked, Mr. Macho?"
"Hi does NOT count as a word!" Kurogane barked, " I don't need my ears checked,... And don't call me 'Mr. Macho'!!"
"He's Mr. Macho! He's Mr. Macho! The Macho-es guy from the whole dimension!" Fye and Mokona sang a duet and did a little jig.
Kurogane unsheathed his long sword...
"I'M GONNA CHOP YOU CLOWN INTO SLICED MEATS, THEN KILL YOU!!"
Fye and Mokona gave a cry, still looking freakishly happy, and run off in the opposite direction. Kurogane fast on their trails.
The rest of them watched in silence as the angry ninja held his sword high above his head, shouting curses and warnings while giving chase to a wizard hugging a talking white puffball.
Haruhi felt her head going dizzy, 'What the heck is with this guys?' her mind moaned, 'First, they fall from the sky like droplets of rainwater, wearing those weird garments. And to top it all off, they were armed with weapons and accessorized by a talking white... Something. Just when I thought it's near impossible for my live to get crazier...This happened. I shouldn't have hoped for a normal life, dumb me'
"Umm, Uh... Hey," She addressed Syouran and Sakura, the two others who were with the trio, who also seems to be around her age, which is good she supposed. They are also not armed with weapons and not to mention they were quite normal... If one ignores the strange outfits.
"Uh,... Look here, I really DON'T understand what is going on here... With the getups and everything... But is this, perchance, a movie or something?"
Syouran looked at her quizzily for a second, then shook his head.
"Oh, I'm so sorry for our impertinence!" he began, " We didn't even introduce ourselves yet... My name is Syouran Lee, and this is Princess Sakura, the royal princess of the proud kingdom of Clow... Our country. And our acquaintances over there are Kurogane the ninja, and our magician, Fye. And what you saw just now was Mokona, our guide. You see, we are dimensional travellers, on a quest to find something very dear to all of us,"
Haruhi's mouth gaped so big she wouldn't be surprised if it hits the ground. Even the birds have stopped chirping[ To her, anyway!]
'This goes... Beyond... The usual level of absurdness!!' her mind screeched as she forced herself to look away from the disturbing scene, 'These people with weird clothes just appeared out of nowhere,.. Now they're claiming that they are like those characters from those fantasy manga/anime! Not that I watch anime... But still. Are THEY crazy or am I? Argh!!' she slumped against the nearest tree, 'I'm beginning to feel my sense of logic is slowly slipping away...'
Syouran and Sakura sweatdropped when they saw 'him' [ That's right folks! They're still confused over her gender because she was still wearing her O.H.S. guys uniform.] slumped against the tree.
"Err, excuse me!" Syouran call out, "Did I say something wrong?"
Sakura looked worried, "Oh dear, are you alright? Are you ill? Do you need some help?" she asked. [No malice here!]
Haruhi turned her head to face Sakura, and seeing that the latter really does look concerned, she gave her a small smile, "No....No... I'm fine, I guess..."
At that moment Fye, Mokona and Kurogane ran in front of Sakura and Syouran, Kurogane still shouting and waving his really long and sharp katana at them. Also, at that moment, Haruhi noticed something unusual about them. [Not that they weren't unusual enough as they are.]
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, 'Ah, I got it!' she brought down her knuckle onto her left palm, 'This really IS a movie! And I have a feeling I know who came up with this! This smells like something those crazy host club would cook up. That ninja... Kurogane? I'm betting he's related to Mori [Takashi Morinozuka = Club's member] somehow! They look the same, kinda, and they even like the same thing [She's referring to Kendo = Japanese swords play, Mori is also a member of the Kendo club] ! Plus that blond magician-whatever, with that super frighteningly positive attitude of his.. Have to be related to Tamaki! ... Or maybe even Hunny [Mitsukuni Haninozuka = Club's member] ! And that thing he's holding must be a robot... MUST be! Maybe they thought I'm one of the actress or something,... Oh well, better tell them I'm not!'
Fill with believe that this was just some movie-misunderstanding, she regained her composure, 'This IS a movie... It HAVE to be!! I don't know why the Host Club planned this, and I don't care! Right, better tell them I'm not interested to be in this,'
She looked back up at them, "Excuse me, sorry! But I'm really not that interested to be in your – EEEEKKKKK!!"
Fye was running towards her... With a very angry, katana-waving Kurogane at tow. When Fye was 2-feet near her, he suddenly made a sharp turn to the left... But Kurogane showed no sign of stopping...
Kurogane stopped cursing. He tried to skit to a stop, but ended up tripping over an uneven ground.
Sakura hands flew to her mouth, Syouran gasped. Everything started moving in slow motion. Kurogane dark eyes met with Haruhi's light brown ones for a split second... Then the sound of blade's swishing against thin air could be heard, and strays of brown hair blows with the wind.
Mokona looked back at the scene. She held up a cute little paw to her mouth, giggling, "Oopsie!"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
On the top floor of the Ouran High School building, at the South Wing, at the end of the North Hallway, behind the door labelled 'Music Room 2'...
Lies a world of fantasy, where the otherworldly meeting of gorgeous Warlocks and Warriors.
No, we're NOT at another story! The members of the distinguish Host Club, the wealthiest, most ingenious, and not to mention the most HANDSOMEMEST group of guys around [ With the exception of Haruhi, OK?] have decided upon the theme of 'Magical Travellers' due to their president's sudden fetish for 'commoners' Role Playing Game [R.P.G]. Right now, the Host Club were busy tending to their jobs in entertaining their female clients. Now let's check in on what they're doing.
"Ooh, Tamaki!" a girl swooned, "That cloak looks ravishing on you!"
"Oh, yes!" Another girl chipped in, " So gallant!"
"That sword is a nice touch, too!" Another remarked.
Tamaki beamed, "Ah, thank you so much for those kind words, princesses." He lifted his shining sword in a heroic manners, "This sword," he started, " Was imported directly from England, the land where tales of dragons and fairies was known before being spread to the world."
Another fan-girl stared at him with gleaming eyes, "Wow! That's soo fascinating, Master Tamaki! What kind of fairy tales do you like the most?"
He groomed back his blond hair with his fingers, " As a matter of fact, my favourite of tales are when the prince charming triumphs over the evil dragon and rescuing his beautiful princess. Now,..." He leaned forward and cupped the nearest princess' chin, " Which one of you beautiful ladies wants to be rescued by me?"
All the girls surrounding him started squeling excitedly all at once.
Right at that moment, Kyoya Ohtori [The club's treasurer] came up to them with a thin black file tucked neatly in his arm. He smiled warmly at the customers, who in return, sighed dreamily at him.
"Good afternoon, girls!" He said politely to them, "I'm oh so sorry, but I'm afraid the time is up,"
"Aaaaaaawwwwwwww!!" Chorused the girls in disappointment.
"Already?" A girl cried.
Kyoya nodded, "I am truly sorry, young ladies... However, to make it up to you,..."
He pulled out a thick picture album with his free hand, his other hand were holding his little black file,[ Now just where did the picture album came from was a mystery, sweatdrops!] " This album contains pictures of all our precious members in all our costumes to satisfy your fetishness for your delights. Buy them now and you will be given a 'Hikaru and Kaoru' exclusive childhood renaissance part 1 and 2 for an extra $100."
A blond quickly stood up, purse tightly in grip, "I'll buy them....ALL of them!!"
"I'll have three!!" A girl screeched.
The said twins, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiins, who weren't far from them, sweatdropped. "....Kaoru?" Hikaru asked.
"Yes, Hikaru?"
"Where did Kyoya get those photos?"
".....Maybe it'll be better for all of us if we don't know,"
Hikaru nodded, "Yes, maybe that's for the best, brother!"
All the while Kyoya was selling his 'profitable venture', he couldn't help but noticed how Tamaki was smiling far too cheerfully and idiotically, even for Tamaki, but he pretended not to noticed. Tamaki will tell him why anyway.... Unfortunately.
As the last of the customers left them alone, Tamaki [Still Smiling.], finally said something, just like Kyoya had predicted he would.
"Mother?" Tamaki asked.[ Mother is Kyoya's nickname for Tamaki's fictional family.]
"Yes, Father?" Kyoya answered, in a matter of entertaining the latter. [Father = Tamaki]
"Where's our youngest child? Our dearest daughter?" [Daughter = Haruhi]
"She was absent all through today's club meeting."
"Oh," He laughed heartily... Then he fainted.
Kyoya sighed. He rubbed his temple, "I suppose yet another club meeting have to be cut short again! I'll just put this into Haruhi's debt,"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
In the next 5 minutes, Tamaki was still unconscious. He lies on the sofa, blanketed with a red soft satin blanket and finished with his teddy bear. He would have still been lying on the floor if Kyoya didn't decided it would block peoples' movement.
The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, watched their unconscious lord with bored expressions, "Kyoooyaaaaa!" Hikaru moaned, "When will our idiotic lord wakes up?"
"Yeah!" Kaoru, the younger, sighed, "We can't exactly make fun of him when he's not awake to give us his stupid flabbergasted looks!"
Hunny, the host club's oldest member [ When I said oldest I meant oldest in their age difference, not how long he've been there!] look up at the twins [ Though he was the oldest, he's also the smallest and the youngest-looking.]. "Oh, Hikaru, Kaoru, don't be mean!" His eyes tears up, "Tama is sad right now! Suppose he gets another cold?"
Hunny then turned towards Mori, "Takashi, should we do some magic tricks for milord to get better?" [Did I forgot to mention that they're all still in their costumes? I did? My bad! Hikaru and Kaoru are dressing up as elfish archers... Complete with bows and pointed ears and trademark colours, Hikaru-Blue, Kouru-Green. Kyoya was a cleric, with dark purple robe and a staff. Hunny and Mori were mage and the mage's means Hunny wore a pointed hat and a starry wand while Mori wore a simple grey commoners clothes. ]
Thus while Hunny was practicing his Bun-bun out of his hat trick, and Hikaru and complaining about how stupid it was for a teenager to still sleep with a teddy bear, and Kyoya calculating how much money they gained from their sales, their unlucky seventh member Haruhi has met our favourite dimension travellers,... Until the part of the Kurogane/ Haruhi incident which we left of.
As tiny fragments of Haruhi's scream reached into Tamaki's Supersonic hearing, Tamaki's eyes flew open. When he leapt up of the sofa, the other's looked away from what they're doing as well.
Kyoya blinked at his president, "Ah, Tamaki. You're awake. The customers have already left,"
Kaoru looked up and saw the distress in Tmamki's eyes, "Huh? Milord..."
Hikaru, lacking his twin's sensitivity, was barely oblivious to Milord's predicament. He immediately set to teased him, " Ha ha! Milord, you should see how stupid you look when you're asleep! I bet if Haruhi saw you..."
"Haruhi's in trouble!" Tamaki suddenly screeched.
Almost immediately, Hikaru's grin were wiped off from his face, "Wha-What?"
"Haruhi's in trouble," Tamaki repeated, "I heard her scream, from the courtyard,... I also heard blade's swishing and falling sounds ... I have to go and save our precious princess!!" And thus saying so, he ran out of the door. The surprised club's members only watched as the heavy oak door closed behind their president.
Kyoya wrote something in his little black file, "That's a pretty unusual excuse to go running off... Even for him!"
Hunny scowled sadly, "He didn't even wait around for bun-bun's performance!"
Kaoru shot him an angry look, "Forget bun-bun! We have bigger things to worry about!" He turned towards Hikaru, "C'mon, Hikaru! We have to catch up with him!"
Hikaru shot him a confused look, "Why should we? You don't seriously think he's right when he says Haruhi might be in danger, do you? Milord's an idiot, he probably have mass hallucinations or something,"
Kaoru gave his twin an impatient look, "But what if he's right? That she was really in danger? Then what?" he fumed, "We can't let Lord Doofusville get all the glory!?"
Hikaru almost did a come-back when he suddenly realized that what Kaoru said might have a tinge of truth in it. SUPPOSE Haruhi is in trouble? He would never be able to live this down! Especially when there's a chance that Haruhi might fell for... Arrrgh! For some reason that thought really fired him up!
"Well, what are you waiting for?" He grabbed his brother's hand, " Let's go after him and made ourselves her hero!" He ran through the door in pursuit of Tamaki. Kaoru, still quite surprised by his brother change in stand-point, allowed himself to be carried away.
As the duo left, Hunny cried out to them, "Hey guys, wait for us!" He ran toward Mori and jumped onto his back, "C'mon, Takashi! Let not tarnish our family names by helping out our friends in need!"
Mori nodded and piggybacked Hunny towards the door.
Kyoya were left all alone as the door closes yet again that day. He sighed, "It's amazing how simple-minded people can be!" He shrugged, "Oh well! Might as well follow them. I can smell great juicy blackmailing item in the making," And the demon left as well to join the gang.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The birds flew away at the sound from below. The man-made forest had suddenly gone deathly quiet.
Haruhi's eyes was still closed on pure reflex action when Kurogane nearly stabbed her with his sword. That sword looked soo real to her, she had really thought it would slice right through her..... But she didn't feel any pain, except from when she fell on her back. Which reminds her......Ouch.
She tried to sit, but something heavy was pinning her back. She opened her eyes... And stared face-to-face with the Ninja whom almost took her life.
Kurogane groaned, and pushed himself up to a crawling position, "Gngh! Hey, kid! You okay?" He asked the spell-shocked Haruhi.
Haruhi nodded numbly, unaware of what to do... Besides, seeing this guy's long sword sticking up from the earth next to her head had left her somewhat breathless.
"As for you..." Kurogane closed his eyes, the he faced around and opened them sharply, "Let the hack go off my leg!!"
Blinking, Haruhi lifted her head slightly to see who he was talking to. Fye, sitting and smiling innocently, and holding onto Kurogane's left leg.
Haruhi wondered why he was doing that when memories bursts into her mind.
Kurogane was flying at her, shouting something and sword waving wildly...And then he appeared, Fye, magically appeared behind the ninja and grabbed his leg. This action stopped Kurogane in mid-air, ... And though this doesn't stop him from falling on her, it had caused the sword to miss piercing her forehead...
"Kuro-neechan, it's gonna be hard for the poor boy to breath with someone as big and as heavy as you on top!" Fye smiled and released his leg.
"DON'T CALL ME KURO-NEECHAN!" He growled, and stood up. He pulled out his sword from the ground and sheathed it. Then he bend down and grabbed Haruhi's slim wrist. He pulled the surprised Haruhi to her feet easily. "You wanta sleep on the ground or something?"
"Huh? Oh, no! Actually I was wondering if this is all part of the movie's scene," she said bluntly.
Kurogane sweatdropped, "Huh?" Then he jumped when Fye suddenly reappeared beside him, "What'sa movie?" He grinned, ignoring Kurogane's angry glare.
Haruhi was genuinely surprised, " What do you mean 'What'sa movie' ? You guys are part of the movie's cast for.....Something. Aren't you?"
Kurogane and Fye both stayed quiet, both confused over what Haruhi was talking about. At this time, Syouran and Sakura had come through with their shock and had came to check if he's alright.
"Are you alright, sir?" Syouran asked.
Haruhi cocked her eyebrows, "....Sir?"
"Are you fine?" Sakura asked this time, and held her hands in hers, "We're soo sorry this happened! Are you hurt? Are you scared? Did the sword hurt you?"
Haruhi flushed, "No, really, I'm fine!" Then her face turned serious, "But most importantly... Are you guys for real?"
They all stared at her, and Syaoran was the first to voiced out all their questions, "What do you mean for real?..."
Suddenly, they all heard a loud CRASH! Someway behind Haruhi. They all turned their attention towards the noisemaker.
A young man with golden hair raced towards them. He wore a strapping medieval outfit of gold and white, along with a rich brown cape and elegantly embroided jewelleries. He also had his hand on the hilt of a sword still in its sheath, and he seems to be shouting out a name,..... "HARUHIIIIIIII!!"
Haruhi's jaw hits the ground, while the others looked at the stranger in awe.
"Haruhi... Is that your name?" Syouran questioned.
Fye made a 'Woo! Woo!' sound from his mouth [ He would have whistled but he doesn't know how to!] " Wow! That guy looks cool!"
Mokona jumped up and down, "Yeah, so cool!" She sings, "Yeah, so gallant!"
This was when Tamaki tripped over a tree root, rolled forward three times, then landed face-first in the earth.
Kurogane sweatdropped, "Yeah, so stupid!"
Everybody sweatdropped, and Haruhi looked like she was going to die of embarrassment right there and then.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The end of Chapter 2
Kurogane : Who the heck is this idiot, anyway? Suddenly he appeared out of nowhere, and then he blames me for attempting to murder his precious daughter... Heck! I don't even know who his daughter is!
Fye : Kuro-chan, I think he's referring to that little creature you almost pierced with that big, bad sword of yours!
Mokona : And Fye save her!! Hero's kiss! Kiss kiss!
Fye : Ha ha! Thank you, Mokona! You're so sweet!
Kurogane : Will you guys shut up and butt out?! I'm supposed to be telling the review here! And who the hell are those guys coming after that fool? His lackeys or something?
On the next adventure of Ouran Chronicles : Finally, the Big Meeting!
Kurogane : And before I forget... Don't call me KURO-CHAAANN!!
