OURAN CHRONICLES : Finally, the Big Meeting
As evening approaches and the sky turned into a bright orange velvety colour, all five dimensional travellers along with Haruhi looked down towards the fallen host.
Suddenly, Tamaki [The fallen host] stood up quickly as if nothing had happened. He ran towards Haruhi and stood in front of her heroically, he held his gleaming sword in his hand [ He was probably hoping they would be scared by it.... - _-']
"What do you think you thugs are doing to my beloved daughter?" He shouted, and Haruhi sighed.
This time, there was no long silence because everybody started shouting at once.
"DAUGHTER?!" Kurogane, Syouran and Sakura shouted in disbelief.
Fye placed a palm on his cheek, "Oooh! This is getting BIG!"
Mokona jumped happily next to him, before landing on his shoulder, "Woo, it's like watching a drama series with Yuuko-sama.... Live! Yay!!"
Haruhi did her best to hide her utmost discomfort, "This is sooo stupid! I really, really hope this 'movie' won't be aired to the public eyes!" She looked up at Tamaki, who seems to be struggling to hold up his sword. She sighed, and said, " Look, Tamaki ! I really couldn't care less what you're planning to do with all this, so do you mind if I skip-"
"You're saying this wimp is your daughter?!" Kurogane suddenly shouted out.
Haruhi facefelled, '.....Wimp?' . Tamaki glared at him angrily, "Argh! You insolent man! How dare you called my dearest daughter a wimp!"
" Because he is!"
"Haruhi may be lacking abilities in practically every sports, but that only made my dearest sweet daughter more cuter!"
"Moving on from the 'wimp' topic!" Haruhi cried angrily.
But the shouting battle didn't end there. It had actually turned up a notch, with both Tamaki and Kurogane at their edge with anger.
"WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING THAT GUY YOUR DAUGHTER, ANYWAY?! YOU'RE PRACTICALLY THE SAME AGE!!"
"I'M NOT HER FATHER, BUT I'M LIKE HER FATHER! WHICH MAKES ME HER FATHER!!"
"THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!!"
"MOKONA IS ADORABLEEEE!!" Mokona joined in.
Both Tamaki and Kurogane stopped shouting to catch their breaths. Both of them looked tired out. Mokona looks around, then raised her tiny little paw, " I won the shouting contest!" She announced proudly.
Fye grinned, "Oh, Mokona, you're soo amazing!" He started clapping warmly, while the little puffball pretended to be embarrassed. "Hee Hee!" She giggled, "Fye is too kind!"
Everybody else sweatdropped, but Kurogane still managed to give the duo an evil eye.
"Milord! Are you okay?" Somebody shouted in a distant.
Footsteps were heard approaching them. Everyone turned around to face that direction. Kurogane groaned in annoyance, "Don't tell me,... There's more of them!!"
Five figures appeared from the building. Two elves, blue and green respectively, a guy carrying a small little boy wearing a pointed hat, and more calmly behind them were a dark-haired boy with glasses wearing a purple robe.
They kept running until they saw their president and fellow club member's. Hunny, the smallest yet oldest member, beamed, "There they are! Tamaaaa, Haruuuuu, we're over here!!" He waved.
The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, looked to where Hunny was waving. Kaoru grinned at his elder-by-a few-minutes siblings, "Ah ha! Told you I was right when I said we should turn right at the third hallway!"
Hikaru nodded apologically, "Yeah, you're right! Sorry for doubting you, Kaoru!"
The Tsubasa gang gasped when they saw the group, especially the twins since they have never seen two people more alike in the same world before. Sakura's eyes widen, "I.... I thought that there would only be another person just like you in a different world.... Am I wrong, Syouran?"
"Ah! I'm.. Uhh... I sorry princess, I don't know," he replied, sweatdropping.
"What kind of MONSTROSITY are you people?!" Kurogane screamed in anger. Just talking to these people had made his nerve frazzled, he can't wait to get out of this *#^& place!
The Host Club, ( Excluding Tamaki who were busy fawning over Haruhi, and Haruhi, who were busy being annoyed by Tamaki's fawning over her) turned their heads towards the ninja. Hikaru and Kaoru gave him a dirty look.
"Ugh, can you believe this guy calling us 'monstrosities'," Hikaru started coldly, "When's the last time HE ever looked into a mirror?"
"And what's with those clothes?" Kaoru sneered, "What cheap knockoffs materials you've used, commoner! And it's all dirty and ragged, too... Why? Can't pay the cleaners to clean it for you?"
"And that sword," Hikaru added, "Seriously, is it for real or is it some sort of paper mache? Do you have a license for that? We have for ours!"
"Or are you cosplaying for a commoners anime show which we've never heard of... at all! Must be a fourth-class street show," Kaoru snickered.
"Maybe... Religions, perhaps? Are you in a cult calling the great god of stupidity to descend from above and blessed you with his gift?"
Hunny stared at the twins, then motions for Mori to lean down and hear his thoughts, "Hikaru and Kaoru are really getting into this, Takashi." Mori sweatdropped, and nodded.
Kyoya stood by watching all of them, from his comrades to the newcomers. He can sense something was wrong with them... something he couldn't be sure of. So he took out his mobile phone, took some pictures of them, then send these to his men for analysis. After he had finished, Kyoya put back his mobile into his pocket,... And smiled in satisfaction.
By this time, everyone was giving their full attention towards the sneering twins and the black ninja. Kurogane was staring at his feet... deathly quiet, something that's very rare for him. His right hand are placed neatly on his sword's hilt.
Syaoran tensed, he had a bad feeling about this... He moved carefully towards his sword playing teacher, careful not to upset him, "Kurogane, be patient. Don't do anything you'll regret..."
Kurogane suddenly looks up, his eyes ablazed with fury, "PREPARE TO DIE, BRATS!!"and he leapt forward...
Only to be stopped short in midair and fell face-first onto the soft ground. He slowly turned around, and met with Fye's grinning face. He had once again held onto his leg, "Let. Go. You. Moron!" Kurogane breathed out his words.
Fye tilted his head innocently, " You really should control your temper, Kuro-sama," he started, "Its really isn't a wise choice to cause fights with the locals without a good reason. And did you notice...We were surrounded?"
Kurogane turned his head forward... and met with the barrel of a machinegun. Joy....
"Put your weapons down and put your hands in the air, sir!" a voice commanded.
About twenty men was seen surrounding them. All of them were fully armed with guns and hand grenades. The one pointing his machinegun at Kurogane repeated his command, more sternly this time.
Kurogane looked at the weapon and the man with bored expression, Fye stood up and smiled warmly, while Syouran wrapped his arms protectively around the frightened Sakura.
Haruhi sweatdropped, she knew exactly how it felt to be surrounded by guys with guns...
The twins whispered to each other, occasionally words like 'That commoner is horrid' and 'Tsk, tsk!' could be heard. Hunny and Mori ran towards Haruhi, Hunny crying and complaining about 'The scary black guy'. While Kyoya was discussing something with the Chief Commander of the raid.
Suddenly, a cry of pain filled the air. Haruhi's eyes bulged, and she (Along with everybody else) snapped her attention towards the commotion, just in time to see the one called Syouran launched another kick towards a man who had tried to shoot him with his gun full of anaesthetic bullets.( You see, they had made a mistake to try to pried Sakura from him, and anybody who've read/seen Tsubasa knew that's a big mistake -.-') The man flew back from the impact and accidentally tackled his comrades behind him. All of them got knocked out.
The Ouran gang gaped, even Kyoya's eyes widen despite himself. The Chief's mouth widen, his best men whom he had personally made sure to go through never-ending intensive trainings... had just been defeated by a little boy! Anger boiled at the pit of his stomach, how DARE this made him look bad in front of one of the Ohtori's family heir!
"What are you good-for-nothing morons doing?" he snapped, "He's just ONE lil kid, you're a whole army of grown men!! Don't let that brat near our young master!"
The men nodded, and immediately turned serious. Their attentions were focused only at Syouran. Three of them decided to join forces and attack Syouran in one go. At a signal, they would spread out and corner him from all sides, blocking him from escaping. The moment they saw Syouran got distracted, they immediately put their plan into action. They spread out and circled him, then approached him at an alarming speed. Knifes in hand.
"Syouran!" Sakura cried out, "Look out ! Around you!"
Syouran kicked away another armed man, and quickly look around him. He noticed that three of the guys had surrounded him, they were probably planning to stop him from escaping. His mind whirled for an answer, then an idea exploded in his head. Moving quickly, he somersaulted forward and landed on his hands. At the precise moment the men cornered him, he spun around.
His foot connected with all three of them, sending them flying backwards from the impact and knocking them out squarely. Syouran righted himself, and cast a thankful nod at Sakura.
She smiled gratefully, happy she could help.
Hunny eye's bulged, and he quickly tugged on Mori's arm, "Sugoi! Did'cha saw that, Takashi? That boy just used a 'Spinning Flame Tornado' technique. Only really good martial artist can do that!!"
The Chief gritted his teeth, "Well, what are you wimps waiting for? An order?! Just open fire, darn't!"
Haruhi turned around as he said that, 'What?!' her mind screeched, 'Isn't this going too far?!'
At that order, one man snuck behind Syouran, and aimed the gun at his head. When he'd managed to get Syouran's head in perfect aiming view, he grinned wickedly, and pulled the trigger...
Suddenly, a blur of metal passed his eyes. And before he knew it, his machinegun were cut cleanly in half. The man gaped...
"Heh, the brat ain't the only fighter around here!" a rough voice commented behind him.
He immediately turned around, and his eyes bulged when he saw that the man he's seeing was bigger than him. With the trick of the light, the ninja's shadow were in front of him (Kurogane), making the ninja's face more malevolent than it already was, especially with his blood red pupils clearly seen despite the darkness. And he started looking even MORE malevolent now that he was grinning...
Kurogane creaked his shoulders , "Ever since I've step foot in this place I've been dying to kill someone,... OK, I can't exactly kill anyone (What with my stupid 'Peace Curse' and all) , but I AM allowed to give them one hell of a beating! Now..." his grin widened, and he gripped his sword tighter, "Guess who's the 'lucky guy' to be first?"
Tamaki and Haruhi winced when they heard the 'Lucky guy' screamed in pain, Tamaki instinctively hug Haruhi tighter. The twins eyes both brighten with excitement when Kurogane had a go on the next guy.
"WOW!!" Hikaru cried, "This is soo much better than seeing a movie!"
Kaoru nodded, just as excited, "True, brother. So true,"
Kyoya kept watching without a word, his face not betraying any signs of what his thoughts could be.
The Chief's face turned redder, while his hands tighten its vice-like grip over his walkie-talkie (The poor thing never stood a chance!). He started shouting out some vulgar words ( Tamaki quickly place both hands over Haruhi's ears, while Hunny did the same thing to Mori ^.^')
"You **%$-ing useless bunch of good-for-nothing fools aren't even worth a single penny! My orders were simple, apprehends the four trespassers.... But you can't even handle a teenage boy and a freak with a cloak!! I want you *&$# losers to go all out! I want you to let loose the grenades! I want you to-"
"That'll be enough," a sing-song voice commented right beside him, a he felt a cold, round, metallic thing placed under his chin. He tried to move, but instead the thing were pressed closer to his skin. "Heh heh! You really shouldn't move. I've heard this thing is really very painful! There's a large chance the result might be a little messy.... So would you please call off your fine gentlemen?"
The Chief sweated nervously. With a cracked voice, he told his men to back off.
Everybody frozed, and stared at them.
Fye nodded approvingly, "Thank you. Dirtying my hands might not be necessary after all ! Thank you for being such a good boy, sir," he fingered the machinegun carelessly, making the Chief even MORE nervous.
The standing men looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Of course they hated that guy... Heck, their were times they wished to shoot him themselves! But unfortunately for them, he's still their superior, and their lives have been disciplined to follow their superior's orders (Regardless of how hateful that person is!) . Syouran looked at Fye worriedly, wondering if Fye'll really do it or not. The last thing they needed was more trouble.
Sakura held the same worried expression on her face. Mokona peeked out from Sakura's hood, where she had been hiding during the whole riot. Kurogane gave Fye a weird look, 'How can he managed threatening a guy's life like the most natural thing in the world is beyond me!'
The Ouran gang look at each other nervously, exception for Kyoya who seemed to be figuring something out, and the twins who were practically bursting with anticipation of what'll the outcome of such event would be.
Fye looked around cheerfully, regardless of the tensions of this situation. When he set his eyes upon Kyoya, his smile grew bigger. Kyoya, in return of his gaze, smiles back.
"Correct me if I'm wrong," Fye started, unnervingly calm, "But I take it you're the real brains in this situation."
Kyoya nodded, and placed a hand to his chest, "My name is Kyoya Ohtori, ... Son of the second most richest and well-known man in this country. These men," he pointed a finger at the armed men, "Are working under my father. Thus, that would mean they're also working under me."
Fye nodded, "OK, my turn for introduction!" he announced far too cheerfully. "Alrighty now, my name is Fye de Flowright. But since that is such a mouthful, you may call me Fye! Please forgive us if we have trespassed upon your land and endangered your people..." he shot a quick smile at both Syouran and Kurogane ( Kurogane for 'accidental' attempted killing of Haruhi, Syouran for starting the beating of the armed guys!) , Kurogane growled under his breath while Syouran had the grace to looked ashamed.
Fye continued after a moment of silence, "And I'm really sorry for their actions. But I assure you we didn't do those because we want to, we were, rather, forced to..."
"By who?" Kyoya intrigues.
Fye tilted his head slightly, "Would you believe... Destiny?"
Kyoya shook his head, "Not good enough,"
"Thought not!" Fye sighed, "But that is the truth... Oh well, listen to this now! You've seen how good we are in survival skills. If we want to, we could easily hold you and your pleasant company captive, and then made our way out of here." Syouran and Sakura's mouths fell when they heard that.
"YOU MORON!" Kurogane barked, "YOU'VE JUST PICTURED US OFF AS CRIMINALS!!"
"Kuro-chan, please think about what have been said for once!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
Kyoya cupped his hand over his chin, "I think I get what you're saying... You're conferring that if you people are truly criminals then you would have done what you said you would have done. But since you didn't do it that means you're NOT criminals."
Fye whooped, and ringed a random bell in his hand, "Ding, ding, ding, DING!" he points at Kyoya, " The boy's guesses are correct! Give a clap for this lucky boy!"
"This isn't a game show!" Kurogane practically went ballistic, "And where did you get that bell from?"
Kyoya crossed his arms, and looked at them. Studying them once more. The Host Club members unknowingly tensed up to hear what the great Demon Lord have to say. After what seemed like forever, Kyoya sighed, and gave Fye a cynical smile, "You know sir... Fye, correct?"
Fye nodded, "You are correct."
Kyoya leaned against a nearby Sakura tree, "Truth to be told, this event is making me feel quite fatigue. So lets made a deal, we'll discuss all this in a civilised manner indoors... Providing you all agree to come quietly without kicking up another riot, also, release my men."
Fye arched his eyebrows, "Would you promise you wouldn't turn your back on your promise and set your men on us?"
"As long as you keep your part of the deal first,"
"I promise."
"Then the deal is set," Kyoya announced.
"OK!" thus said, Fye threw away the machinegun. The Chief gasped, and stumbled forward in relief.
Kyoya nodded gratefully. Then, he turned his head towards a nearby bush and nodded at it. Suddenly, a head popped out of the bush. Tamaki and Haruhi both jumped in surprise. The twins made a 'Woo!' sound between them.
"Mr. Tachibana," Kyoya addressed the head (Which happens to be the head of Mr. Tachibana, the head of Kyoya's personal security guards.) "I would like you and your comrades to deal with this situation here, while Mr. Fye and his companies will have a little meeting with me at the Host Club's Meeting Room. That is, if its OK with you, Tamaki?"
"Huh? Err... Yes, It's just fine!" Tamaki answered unsurely, casting a nervous glance at Kurogane's sword.
"Ah, and yes, you're coming too Tamaki."
"WHAT?!" Tamaki sputtered, "Why..."
"Because you are the son of the school's chairman, milord." Kyoya answered matter-of- factly, "Since we can't bother the Chairman who is on a business trip to America right now, we might as well take the second best choice... That's you, Tamaki."
Fye chimed in, "Sorry for taking your time, Tama-kun!"
Before Tamaki could protest, the Hitachiins' brothers started shouting excitedly, "Oh! Oh! Can we come too?" they said in unison, making Kurogane slightly creep out.
The two boys cupped their hands together with each other, "It'll be more fun with more company, after all," Hikaru started.
"Don't worry about permissions and all those boring stuffs, though. Mom and Dad are both busy in Germany, anyway." Kaoru continued.
"So we're both free for tonight! Yay, yay!" they both sang and danced in unison. Suddenly, they both stopped dancing and points at the bewildered Kurogane, "Besides, we wanna spend more time with the weirdo in black!!"
"You have no right to call me weirdo, weirdos!" Kurogane shouted.
Hunny jumped excitedly, wildly waving his hands. " Me and Takashi will come too! We'll be the bodyguards if something goes wrong!"
Mori nodded approvingly.
Kyoya cupped his hands in front of him. "Good," he said, "It seems the whole gang is going... All, except one..."
They all look at Haruhi, even the Tsubasa crew.
Haruhi looked around at them blankly, "What?"
"Are you coming?" Tamaki beckoned, with a puppy-dog face.
"Preferably, no." Tamaki's face immediately fell.
Kyoya interrupted, "Being the first witness for that event... Not to mention the caused for this commotion, it's only reasonable that you come."
"But..."
"Did I mention it's all your fault?"
"Ah, fine! I'll come, I'll come!" Haruhi sighed.
"Sorry to take up your time, Haru-chan!" Fye cupped his hands in an apologic gesture.
Haruhi half-heartedly shrugged, "It's not the first time I come home late due to a random event.... Haru-chan?"
Hikaru and Kaoru whooped, and wrap Haruhi in a hug ( Cruelly pushing Tamaki aside... Poor guy.) " Haru-chan is soo swell!" Hikaru noted loudly.
His brother echoed, "Yes, yes, Haru-chan is truly the greatest!"
Tamaki got up quickly, his eyes inflamed in wild fury. He gave a roar like an angry lion at the twins, "RAAARRGHH! Get away from Haru-chan, you perverted jerks!!"
"Why's everybody calling me 'Haru-chan'?"
Kurogane sweatdropped, and shot a look at Fye, " You deserved to hang out with them, you freak." He breathed. Fye just shot him a smile, and a thumbs-up. Kurogane sweatdropped even more.
As Mr. Tachibana and his team of top-rated bodyguards dismissed the armed men (As for those who were unconscious, they were carried away in a helicopter to be taken to the Ohtori's family private hospital.), they also proceed to call the host club's family to informed them of their kids latecoming. (Don't worry, they're not dumb enough to tell the whole crazy truth, they were planning to use some (kinda) logical excuse about the club members planning for their next theme meeting, like that!)
When all things seemed to be in order, Kyoya ushered them all towards the Ouran Academy. Before Tamaki goes past him, he whispered to the 'King', "Tamaki, I want you to go ahead and show them towards the meeting room. I have something I need to do here,"
Tamaki showed him a desperate puppy-dog look, pleading Kyoya not to leave him alone with these dangerous rouges. It took Kyoya a lot of will power to not roll his eyes.
"I'll only be gone for awhile, Tamaki. And if you come with me, would you really dare to leave Haruhi here alone with the twins and the rouges?"
Tamaki pouted, but didn't say anything. Kyoya just waved Tamaki on.
With a sigh, the King left and followed the awaiting crowd.
When Tamaki and the others were gone from view, Kyoya went over towards the Chief with Mr. Tachibana at his side. At the sight of the Ohtori family's heir, the Chief forced a super-fake smile on his face, "Sir, about those riff-raffs... I have everything under control, sir! So why didn't you let me finish them off?!"
"Save it," Kyoya lifted a hand to silence him. He looked at his family's 'Chief of Security Squad' coolly in the eyes. Their eyes met for a whole second, then, he uttered it, "If everything is truly 'under control', then why did your men get pummelled so easily by a group of three? And your overall performance isn't exactly satisfying, either. You panic too early. Your leadership capability is FAR from excellent, and it's very clear you didn't have a single control over the situation. Now, you are dismissed,... By that I mean fired."
The Chief was flabbergasted, "But I've served the Ohtori's family for 20 years!!" he shouted.
"And yet you can't even handle a couple of bizarros," Kyoya waved his hand in a sign of dismissal, "Take him out of here, Tachibana."
The Chief gawked. Suddenly, in blind fury, he rushed forward towards Kyoya, only to be held back firmly by Mr. Tachibana's and Kyoya's other men. "Darn you!" he cursed wildly, "I'll get you yet! I'll get you, and all your crazy weirdos guests. I WILL GET MY REVENGE!!"
As he got dragged away, Kyoya just sighed, and made his way towards the Academy.
In the south building, on the 5th floor of the Ouran Academy, in the room marked 'Library 4', a lone figure was seen in the furthest corner of the room, quite hidden in the shadow of the bookshelves.
The figure, a dark-haired freshman at Ouran High, slept soundly surrounded by books. As the boy's snores could be heard filling the massive room, the Ouran and Tsubasa's group have started on their 'meeting' in Music Room 2.
Suddenly, the boy's face frown. He mumbled something about 'ghost' and 'sprites' and 'pipe foxes', while his feet were thumping underneath him as though he was running away. He moved one arm, as if trying to slap something away. He accidentally hits a stack of books piled next to him...
CRASH!!
Cries of pain echoed all over the 'empty' school building.
"Huh?" Tamaki looked around quizzily. He arched an eyebrow as he turned to cast a questioning look at Kyoya, who had just arrived a few minutes ago.
"What is it now, Tamaki?" Kyoya asked, boredly.
"Just now... I thought I heard... Are you sure all the other students had left the premises?"
Now it's Kyoya's turn to raised an eyebrow, "Pardon me?"
"It... It's just that... I could've sworn I heard a screaming of pain just now,"
Kyoya's face changed into his normal look almost immediately, "Don't think too much about it. I've already sent my men to search around the whole school building. They were ordered to inform any remaining students to go home, so its quite fine. Right now, let's just be concerned about them now, shall we?" and he motioned a finger towards the four strange strangers sitting opposite them, across a long square table. The strangers (The Tsubasa gang.) seems to be dic=scussing something with each other as well.
"So Tamaki," Kyoya looked at him sceptically, "Aren't you going to start the meeting now? Your people are getting restless."
Tamaki looked at his friends. Hunny was polishing off his third cake. Mori expression look.... Expressionless. Haruhi looks like she's going to leave anytime soon while the twins are looking more... devilish.
"I'm bored. When is Stupid Lord going to start this meeting already?" Hikaru whispered quietly towards Kaoru (But Tamaki's super-hearing heard them out easily.)
"I'm bored too, Hikaru. I wished milord would start now!" Kaoru agreed.
"Hey, I know! Let's see if we can sneak off Blackie's sword? If we're lucky, Blackie will run amok again!!"
"Yippee, another fist-fight! Come on, brother. Let's do this now!!"
As they cast an evil eye at Kurogane, Tamaki knew that's his cue to start.
"Alright, let the meeting starts NOW,"
The end of Chapter 3.
Hikaru : Yahoo! Now it's finally our turn to tell the review!
Kaoru : It sure is, brother! And who is that dude who just burst into the club room, anyway?
Hikaru : Donno! But he sure looks funny! The meeting will be getting a whole lot merrier!!
Kaoru : Right, so don't forget to read the next chap, you'll!!
On the next adventure of Ouran Chronicle : Crazy meetings, what is going on?!
Hikaru and Kaoru : And hopefully we'll be able to steal Blackie's sword next time!
Blackie (Kurogane) : Don't you dareeee!! (And I'm Kurogane, not Blackie!)
