Chapter 2: Tomorrowland
Hikaru and Kaoru ran toward the Tomorrowland entrance, still dragging Haruhi and me behind them and laughing. We stopped as we reached the line for Star Tours and we all struggled to catch our breath.
"Is…Is Milord coming, Hikaru?" Kaoru panted and his twin looked behind him.
"I don't see him," he replied. "No doubt he'll be furious that we took Haruhi and the New Princess from him."
"What?" I panted with a confused frown. "Why would he be mad at me being gone?"
"You didn't see it when he bought you that book?" Kaoru wondered, recovered and leaning an arm on my shoulder as I stood.
"You're Milord's new favorite," Hikaru finished with a smirk. "After Haruhi, anyway."
"Oh, please," I scoffed, waving them off. "He was just being nice. This is Tamaki we're talking about."
"Ok," the twins shrugged, then Kaoru finished. "But don't say we didn't warn you."
"He's coming!" Hikaru hissed and grabbed Haruhi to duck her behind the bushes we stood behind while Kaoru gripped my arms and pinned me between him and the wall opposite them. I looked up at Kaoru as he stood closer to hide me and his gaze met mine as we heard Tamaki's hurried footsteps run past the line and away from us. We stood like that, even after we knew Tamaki was gone, and just stared at each other.
"I think he's gone," I finally whispered, trying to hide the fact that my heart was pounding in my chest. Kaoru nodded in agreement and swallowed then stepped back a bit, reluctantly.
"So, I guess we're riding this one first," Haruhi said as the line started to move into the building it led into.
"It's not that bad," I shrugged, recovered from being close to Kaoru as I started at my Jaw Breaker again. "It's a ride that makes you think you're moving, but you're not. It's fun though."
"What's it supposed to be taken after?" Kaoru wondered as he and Hikaru entwined their arms to sling them over the other twin's shoulders.
"Star Wars," I replied, walking as the line moved again and I started devouring my lollipop.
"This line is too slow," Hikaru complained and I looked at him incredulously.
"We just got here!" I reminded him. "Have some patience! Sheesh!"
The twins and Haruhi began talking and I stood a bit ahead of them, watching and licking my Jaw Breaker. As they talked and laughed, I knew I'd never really be part of the Host Club Family, even if I was Tamaki's new 'favorite.'
"Hey, babe," the man ahead of me crooned in my ear. I jumped with a small gasp and looked at him as he grinned. "I'm glad I get to ride next to a pretty girl like you."
"Uh, I'm flattered, but I'm afraid I'm sitting with someone else, so…" I smiled and tried to move to the twins and Haruhi but I felt his hand grip my wrist and he pulled me close before I could react.
"It looks like you're all alone, babe," he assumed. "Who would you think you're riding with?"
"Me."
I jumped again and looked behind me to see one of the twins with an angry look on his face but a gentle hand on my shoulder, his other hand going to the man's that held me.
"Mind letting go of my girlfriend?" he wondered in a low, threatening voice. The man looked at us in wide eyed shock and pulled away from me as if my skin burned him.
"S-Sorry man," he sputtered. "I didn't know."
"Everything alright here, Kaoru?" Hikaru asked, coming up next to his brother and I looked at Kaoru, only realizing now that it had been him defending me.
"It's fine, Hikaru," Kaoru replied, not taking his burning gaze from the dog in front of him. He slung his arm around my shoulders and kissed my temple, making me blush then he looked at me warmly. "You ok, babe?"
All I could do was nod as I looked at him and he smiled, turning so that we faced Hikaru and Haruhi. The rest of the way toward the ride, Kaoru never took his arm from my shoulders to ensure that everyone knew I was with him. And every once in a while, my attempted assaulter would glance at us, and every time he did, Kaoru would nuzzle my cheek or do something affectionate, which sent my heart racing so fast I was sure I would faint.
When we were split up into lines and finally sitting, I sealed my Jaw Breaker and Kaoru made sure he was on one side of me, holding my hand and Haruhi was on the other side of me with Hikaru on the end. This confused me, and as I looked from one twin to the other, I wondered if they had just let me into their little world as they had Haruhi. But it felt too good to be true. It was too easy.
The ride started, and I found myself concentrating on the ride and almost totally forgetting the Hitachiin twins weren't sitting next to each other.
"That ride was cool!" Hikaru cheered as we came out of the Star Tours shop.
"Hikaru," Kaoru called in a small voice, drawing all of our attentions. "Why weren't you sitting next to me? I was so scared."
"Kaoru…" Hikaru mumbled then dashed to his twin and took him into his arms. "I'm sorry, Kaoru. I'll never leave you in the dark alone again."
"Hikaru…" Kaoru nearly moaned.
"Oh, would you guys knock that off!" I snapped. "Things were going so nicely until you did that!"
The twins looked at me in disbelief as Haruhi snickered.
"You don't swoon at the 'Brotherly Love'?" they asked and I shook my head. The twins looked at each other in more disbelief. It quickly subsided when they grinned devilishly then turned to me.
"W-What?" I choked, catching Haruhi's attention.
"What does make you swoon?" they asked, inching closer to me. I panicked and ducked behind Haruhi who rolled her eyes.
"Come on, guys," she insisted. "Leave the girl alone. You've messed with her enough, don't you think?"
"No," they replied flatly.
"Look, Haruhi!" I called, pointing to my right. "Space Mountain! It's a roller coaster! Come on, I'll race you there!" I dashed off to the entrance for Space Mountain and Haruhi and the twins followed. I was relieved to change the subject. If Kaoru had tried anything I didn't know what I would do.
The line was surprisingly short and we found ourselves almost at the entrance. I was running so fast, I couldn't stop myself and I bumped into the person at the end of the line. I fell to the floor as he stepped forward slightly.
"I'm really sorry---" I cut myself off when I looked up and saw that it was the man who had hit on me in the Star Tours line.
"No I'm not," I shot quickly as I stood up. "You deserve it."
"You little---!"
"Jenna!" the twins called and I turned to see them and Haruhi coming toward me. One of the twins noticed the man in front of me and wrapped his arm around my waist, making me blush.
"You're too fast, babe," he smirked and I realized it was Kaoru so I smiled.
"I'm sorry," I shrugged cutely. "I just couldn't wait." Without thinking, I kissed his cheek, making him look at me in surprise but smile so as not to rouse suspicion from the Dog. We turned to face Hikaru and Haruhi and through the course of the line, Kaoru and I acted like a couple. When we reached the place where we would have to split up I switched places with Hikaru, making everyone frown at me.
"What are you doing?" Haruhi wondered.
"Letting the twins ride together," I shrugged. "It's two per car."
Haruhi nodded, realizing I understood the twins better than anyone thought. We loaded into the coaster Haruhi leaned close to my ear to whisper, "You like Kaoru, don't you?"
I looked at her in disbelief, my hands going cold, causing me to lose grip of the bar to hold me in the car. It jerked up and I jumped and pulled it back down, my face flush with embarrassment. Haruhi giggled and shrugged.
"Of course, it's none of my business," she said and I looked at her again. "I was just curious."
The ride started and I couldn't help but wonder, if she new, did Kaoru?
"That was awesome!" the twins cheered as we all came out of Space Mountain. "Let's go again!"
"Let's not," Haruhi pleaded, dizzy.
"You guys go ahead if you want," I said.
"Not without you guys," Kaoru insisted. "What other rides are there in this land?"
"There's Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster, but I don't think you guys will like that," I replied. "It's kinda kiddy."
"Let's go to the arcade," Hikaru suggested, taking Haruhi's hand and dragging her to the arcade. Kaoru wrapped his arm around my shoulders but I gently shoved him away making him frown at me in confusion.
"You don't have to pretend," I told him. "He's not here."
"I know," Kaoru shrugged, slinging his arm over my shoulders again. I looked at him in surprise as we walked into the arcade and I suddenly couldn't help but smile. He knew, and he just wanted to hang on me? No guy had ever done that for me. Then again, no man had ever stood up for me like he had back there. It felt nice.
"Ooh!" I squeaked, pointing at the far end of the arcade. "Dance Revolution! Come on!" I dragged Kaoru by the hand to the game and pulled out some money to start it.
"How does this work?" Kaoru asked, standing on the platform with me.
"I'll start it on beginners," I replied. "I'm not very good with it either. I just like playing it." I set it up and it started. Kaoru looked all kinds of confused when we started, but he quickly got the hang of stomping on the arrows when it was needed. With all the moving we were doing we ran out of energy quickly and we were soon panting for air. By the end of the song we had to stop and I noticed Hikaru and Haruhi coming our way.
"What are you guys doing?" Haruhi wondered.
"Hikaru! You gotta try this! It's fun!" Kaoru panted to his brother. He put in some money to play with his twin as Haruhi and I watched. I giggled as the true beginner tried to learn from his younger brother. That must have been what Kaoru looked like when I was up there with him.
I suddenly felt a hand clasp over my mouth and I was pulled back by it and away from the twins. I glance over to see the Haruhi was in the same predicament. I struggled to be free, but the hand wouldn't let me go.
"I'm so sorry, daughter!"
I froze and frowned in confusion.
"Tamaki?!"
I was suddenly at the entrance of Tomorrowland and Haruhi and I were set free, Tamaki between us.
"Those stupid twins," he hissed with a clenched fist. "Taking my daughter and the New Princess and ditching me!"
"So I am the New Princess," I smirked, crossing my arms. Tamaki's eyes grew wide as he looked at me and I simply waited for his answer.
"Of course," he said and suddenly took me into his embrace. "One of the few I hold close to my heart."
"Uh, Tamaki?"
"Yes, Princess?"
"Haruhi's leaving you."
"Wha---?!" He released me and looked around then spotted Haruhi walking toward Adventureland.
"Haruhi!" he called, gripping my wrist and running after her. "Wait! There could be dangers in that part of the park! Come back!"
