Author's Notes: Hello! I'm sorry for updating 10 years after the first chapter, but hey, I ran out of inspiration. Our president and I are on good terms again. Anyhoo, I've been totally busy with school and stuff. Stupid Research Paper, Term Paper, 2 Plays(in different languages, mind you) and Baking(mostly burning -.-").
Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran. Nuff said.
"Goodbye class," Tanaka-sensei said.
"Stand. Bow," says our class rep. We bow and Tanaka-sensei leaves. I let out a sigh. Another day, another headache. Arisu-senpai must be off doing anything but her job by now. I quickly gather my things and leave. Time to switch into Vice President/Babysitter-mode.
I briskly walk out the door and towards our office in the East Wing. Unfortunately, the Student Council isn't really all that popular, but we more or less take control and maintain order in the shadows. And because of that anonymity, we only have the five essential members. A president that runs; a Vice President that assists; a Secretary that keeps track of everything; a Treasurer that handles funds; and a General Affairs Manager that (you guessed it!) handles general affairs.
"Shiraga-hime!" I look behind me and see Suoh running towards me.
"I'm sorry Suoh-san, but I- WOAH!" I feel myself being flung onto a broad shoulder. "What the- Put me down!" I pounded on the guy's back to no avail. He started walking.
"Sorry," was the short, really deep-voiced, reply. Oh. I strained my neck to look at my captor. Mori-senpai. I wonder where Hunny-senpai is?
"Gomen Maya-chan, but we're bringing you to the Host Club." Oh, come on! Don't they know just how busy I- Aw! Look at Hunny-senpai's cute little puppy-dog eyes!
"I'm really sorry Senpai. Please bear with it." I look up and see Fujioka kinda being escorted by the twins. They were walking behind her like bodyguards ready to spring into action the moment she tries to escape. Not that she looks like she wants to run off, that's me.
"Okay, but only since it's Fujioka-chan asking." I smiled at her warmly. She blushed. So cute! Like a little doll come to life. I felt the twins' eyes on me. I looked up and saw evil-looking grins on their faces. I was gonna bug them about it, but decided against it. My neck was complaining too much. I instead lifted my bag, which I struggled to hold onto, and sighed. "Fujioka-chan, can you hold onto this?"
She took my bag and was surprised at its weight. "What's in here Senpai? It weighs a ton!"
"Just a few notebooks, books, and paperwork," I shrugged, reached over for the zipper, opened it, and then dug around for my notepad. I found it, asked Fujioka to close the zipper and began studying the report about club activities of the previous month. I better think of a way to distribute funds according to need. I feel myself being flung over Mori-senpai's shoulder again and landed surprisingly gently on a sofa.
"Can I ask why I've been kidnapped? I have stuff to do you know..." I looked around and wondered where Suoh was.
"What... Is... In here... anyway?" Suoh was panting as he entered the room. Oh look, he has my bag. At least he's not dragging it on the ground. Yet.
"It's just some paperwork," I replied. "What a wimp..." I muttered under my breath. Apparently, it wasn't as under my breath as I hoped. Suoh dropped my bag and sat in his little corner. I sighed. You shouldn't have broken him again Amaya. "Umm... I'm sorry," I looked at him meekly as I approached him. "I'm just a bit cranky cuz of stress lately..." Not completely true, but not completely false either.
"I forgive you Hime!" He jumped up and grabbed me before I could step out of his way. Wow. I really must be stressed. Or tired. Either way, that wouldn't have happened on a normal day. Deciding I was tired, I didn't even squirm out of his grasp. Fighting would only tire me out more. I sigh once more.
"Thanks, I guess." I look around and notice the club carrying on as if I wasn't being assaulted. "Suoh-san, if you don't mind me asking, why was I brought here?" I asked as innocently as I could. I was quickly discovering that being innocent and honest was the best way to go when talking to Suoh.
"An excellent question deserves an excellent answer..." He said it thoughtfully. "I want to ask you a few things about the Student Council!" I face-palmed so hard, my forehead was red for the next half hour. I sighed and got up.
"Seriously, I have some work I have to do that requires a lot of thinking. I even need extra time for mental exercises so I won't pull a brain muscle." My humor isn't that complicated really. Just mix in jokes with seriously said stuff and you get people with great senses of humor laughing. Unfortunately, Suoh is so slow that...
"You can actually pull a brain muscle?" ... he believed me.
"Yes, you can," I said, sarcasm so thick that you'd have to be Suoh Tamaki not to notice. "It can get really serious if you don't get it checked right away."
"Well, in that case, you're not leaving!" He concluded proudly. What? "I won't risk getting a princess like you getting injured because I let you go." I sweat dropped. I... made a mistake... I don't make mistakes... I sat back down and my head dropped into my hands. Breathe Amaya.
"Ask away then..." I sighed. Defeat. So this is what it tastes like...
"When did you become Vice President?" He asked eagerly.
"Just a few weeks ago, actually," I replied. Fujioka-chan came with a pot of tea and a few cups, which she set on the coffee table before us.
"Why wasn't there an election?" He pressed on.
"Because nobody else bothered running for it, unfortunately..." If there had been opposition, I might be living a normal student's life. I picked up a cup and swirled my tea around in it.
"Then... Why did you?"I froze. I'm pretty sure mentioning I was being blackmailed would not be a good idea.
"Umm... Arisu-kaichou's offered me the position and I thought it would be rude to refuse. She is my relative after all, albeit only in law." I nervously took a sip of my tea and tried my best to play it cool. My eyes quickly scanned the room to see if anyone noticed. As expected, only Ootori reacted.
"Is that so..." He said. I shivered... I am friggin getting friggin goosebumps! I laughed uneasily.
"Ah! Shiraga-hime, did you know that our very own Haruhi is a commoner?" I looked at him blankly then shifted my gaze towards Fujioka-chan. I smiled at her.
"Yes I do." I wondered what this was leading to.
"Then you don't mind taking part in this exhilarating experience..." I leaned in with anticipation... "Commoner games!"
"..." And I face-palmed. I looked at Fujioka-chan. She looked mildly irritated but didn't say a thing. She gets treated like this every day? I have to do something about it. "Seriously?"
"Unfortunately, yes. He is serious," Ootori said with a grimace. I rubbed my temples then sighed.
"Just this once, I'll humor you Suoh-san." I stood up and stood beside Fujioka-chan. "What'll it be then?" I looked at Suoh.
"The magnificent game called 'Red Light, Green Light'!" Cue face-palm.
I couldn't sleep. I wonder how they manage to stay so happy and have fun despite how busy their club is. I rolled over in bed. Commoner games. I laughed lightly.
"Red liiiii~ght, green light!" Suoh quickly looked over his shoulder. "Redlightgreenlight!" He looked over again. "Oi! Hikaru! I saw you move!"
"You did not!" Said a twin.
"He didn't move at all, Tono!" Chimed another.
"Is it really this lively all the time?" I asked Ootori. He looked up from typing something on his laptop then looked down again.
"Yes it is. Life's simple pleasures, as Tamaki says it." He replied cooly. I looked at the group playing again. Morinozuka-senpai, Hunny-senpai, and Fujioka-chan were about 3 feet away from Suoh and the Twins were a little more than a foot away. Suoh suddenly shot up and looked at me.
"Do you understand the game yet, Shiraga-hime?" Oh, they were playing to teach me... I forgot.
Games... Games! I shot up in bed. That's the answer to my problem! And now, I can finally rest.
A/N: Sigh... I actually wrote this a long time ago, but crappy net and other factors got in the way of it getting published.
Thanks for reading! Rate and Review! xD
