Another story off of Hiatus right now! I am so happy to be on this story again! I was fumbling a bit on what I was doing for the storyline and what I wanted to write, but I figured out something new and decided to go with it! Hope you like it and enjoy!
R&R
"Please?" Mrs. Hitachiin begged, clasping her hands together in front of her. "I just need a few photos of you! You're the only one who can pull off such clothes perfectly!"
Hikari bit her bottom lip as she thought of a better way to refuse. But as she looked at her eyes, she was finding her resolve crumbling. Suddenly someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her to their body; their chin hitting her head lightly.
"She can't mom. She's in hiding remember?" Hikaru asked from behind her with a raised eyebrow.
"I was going to put her in a disguise obviously!" She huffed, placing her hands on her hips. "Honestly. I don't care if you want to be possessive of her, but at least give me some time with my future daughter in law!"
Hikari's face burst into a red explosion as smoke erupted from her head. She shook her head and waved her hands in front of her face. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
"Eh?" Hikaru asked, turning her to face him and grabbing her chin lightly, angling her face to him better. "You don't want to be with me?" He teased, whining slightly to make her feel guilty.
She dropped her hands as the blush deepened and her whole face felt like it was on fire. She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. "That's not…!"
"MINE!" Jasmine shouted, suddenly between them and pushing them apart from one another. "Don't you know Hikari is a delicate girl! You don't get to have her until I think you're worthy enough!"
Jasmine stared Hikaru down with puffed out cheeks, pouting that Hikaru was trying to make a move on her friend once again.
"Chance!" Mrs. Hitachiin smiled, grabbing Hikari's arm and pulling her out of the room faster than anyone could blink. "Here, put this on. And we'll change your hairstyle, and do your make up." She threw the blue dress from the other day at her, and instantly set out to get her hair and makeup done.
"You sure it's alright?" Hikari asked, tying the strings around her neck. "Boris would kill me if he found out."
"It's fine. Don't worry." She said calmly and warmly, putting on the last of the makeup and finishing her hair. "Is your hair naturally curly?"
Hikari nodded, "a bit. My mom says it's the German blood in her. I try to straighten it so it's not so noticeable."
"I think you look lovely with curly hair." She complimented, bringing out her curls and watching as they spiraled down in large ringlets. "I remember your mother. She was a very beautiful model."
Hikari turned around quickly and looked at her, eyes wide in surprise at suddenly hearing about her mom. "You knew mom?"
She nodded, a smile on her face at the pure excitement she saw in Hikari's eyes. "You look exactly like her. That's probably why they have you dressing up differently. Even your personality was like hers. I thought I saw a ghost when I saw you in this dress." She stopped, turning Hikari back to face forward so she could finish up her hair. She pinned it up, making the curls braid into a crown around her head and leaving the rest down to bounce. "Your mother was the one who got me to keep on designing clothes."
"Really?" Hikari asked, smiling at the thought of her mom helping others like usual. "She always seemed to push others." Hikari's eyes got sad, remembering her mom. Her shoulders sank forward as she remembered how empty her house was now; how cold and lonely.
Mrs. Hitachiin saw her mood get dark, so she clapped her hands to take her attention away. "Alright, lets take some photos!"
Hikari was instructed to act naturally in front of the camera, and at first she was nervous and didn't know what to do. She had thought back to her mother, remembering how she smiled and played on the set to have fun and be who she was. Somehow Hikari's body began to move on it's own as she opened her eyes and twirled around, dancing around the set with a bright smile.
"Good!" Mrs. Hitachiin said with a smile. "I'll use these to show my partners in America the design I want and the concept!"
"Ah! That..!" Hikari said, walking over to grab the photos.
"Don't worry," She answered, smiling at her motherly and patting her head. "None of them would know who you are." She wrapped Hikari up in her arms, giving her a warm embrace and a smile. "Take care of my boys while I'm gone, okay?"
"Yes!" Hikari said with a smile, hugging her back.
"Eh? The beach?" Hikari asked, turning to look at the twins who had identical smiles on their faces.
"The king wants another host vacation." Kaoru said, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head.
"He already has it planned out and ready for us to be there." Hikaru added, doing the same thing.
"Sounds fun!" She smiled, agreeing to it immediately.
Kaoru glanced over at Hikaru and saw the odd trance he had while watching Hikari. The smile on his face told his emotions straight out. He had never seen his brother like this before. He smiled and let out a small sigh, glad that his brother was developing a bit emotionally.
"I want to see Hikari in a swimsuit!" Jasmine said excitedly, thinking about tormenting her friend about how large her chest has gotten.
Hikaru glanced at Jasmine and thought about all the swimsuits his mom had offered to Hikari. Each one made him blush more and more at the least amount of coverage it had. His face was red by the time he got through the thoughts, and was hoping to see it sooner too.
"What are you guys doing?" Hikari asked behind them, making them both turn around excitedly.
Hikari stood there in swim trunk and an oversized t-shirt with her chest wrapped up and her hair underneath her wig. Jasmine let out a disappointed groan as she deflated, sad to see that she couldn't get the swimsuit shot.
"You're not going to wear the swimsuits?" Kaoru asked, knowing Hikaru was thinking it.
"We have customers here," Hikari shrugged, holding up her hands. "They think I'm a guy. I have to keep that appearance up."
"Boo!" The twins said together, propping their hands on their hips and shaking their heads.
Hikari looked at the houses on stilts that were connected by a small bridge from house to house and was all over the ocean. The waters were blue and clean, a faint sound of the water breaking on the stilts made it so relaxing.
"Kou-kun!" A few of the girls shouted the moment they spotted Hikari in disguise.
"How are my beautiful ladies today?" Kou asked, grabbing one of their chins and bringing it close to him, luring them into the charm. "I must say. Very alluring with the swimsuits." He winked at them, giving a smirk and making them swoon at the gesture.
"She has too much fun doing this." Jasmine sighed, shaking her head.
"Its fun teasing them though," Kaoru told her with a smile, making her suck in a breath and turn her head away to hide the blush.
"Come join us!" The girls shouted in the waters, splashing around and hitting a beach ball around in the air.
"Cannonball!" Hikaru shouted, running to the edge and jumping in with Kaoru.
"Kou! Come with us!" One of them tugged on his arm, trying to pull him in.
"Maybe later. I want to play with the ball a bit." Kou excused, knowing the bandages would show the moment he touched the water. He grabbed a ball and tossed it into the air, hitting it over to Honey who was on the back porch of one of the houses that faced the sea. He kicked it back, starting up a game of hitting it from one house to the next.
"Today was fun," Jasmine said, walking around in her pajamas as she readied for bed.
Hikari nodded, back to her normal self and changing her own clothes. "I just wish I could do more." She sighed, flipping her hair out of the wig. "It's so boring not being able to swim in the sea or be with the girls like normal."
"You're just jealous because you weren't able to hang all over Hikaru like you want." Jasmine said, giggling as Hikari's ears reddened in embarrassment.
"That's not it!" She argued, but didn't look at Jasmine in the eye, telling her that's exactly what has her in a fuss.
"Well, the customers should be leaving about noon tomorrow. After that you can be Hikari and not Kou." Jasmine said, flopping back on their bed with her arms above her head. "Let's sleep for now and rested for tomorrow!"
Hikari nodded, slipping into the bed and feeling Jasmine lay on her chest, using it as a pillow and not her actual pillow that was right there. Hikari rolled over, feeling Jasmine flip to her back and stretch out her arms. She spotted the clock and saw it was about 3 in the morning, and yet she felt wide awake.
She sighed and slipped out of bed, looking out the sliding glass doors that looked out on their back balcony and the sea. "I should take the chance to swim now." She told herself, quickly changing into her swimsuit excitedly.
She quietly walked onto the balcony and took the stairs down that went straight into the waters. They were shining from the moonlight and were so deep blue, it looked like a painting of bright and dark colors. She dipped below the surface, feeling the water rush past her gently before breaking the top and floating on her back in the waters.
Hikaru woke up thirsty, needing a glass of water. He stopped when he heard a splash outside, wondering if an outsider had gotten onto the property, or maybe there were some animals out there in the waters. He stepped out onto the balcony and sucked in a breath, catching sight of Hikari as she floated on the water gracefully.
She wore a light blue bikini, and the top was strapless and twisted in the middle. It looked almost like a bow was on there and she was present for him, just floating in the water waiting. She dipped under the water and came back up quickly, treading the waters softly. The moonlight shined off her blonde hair and as she opened her eyes, they all but glowed from the moonlight she gazed at.
He walked down the stairs slowly, keeping his eyes on her as she watching the sky and the stars. The water was a bit cool, but not cold enough it kept a person out of it. He swam over to her slowly, not wanting to spook her on his way over. Finally he reached out and grabbed her arm, making her look at him directly so he knew it was her he was looking at.
She gasped in surprise as she looked at him, his sudden appearance scaring her. "You scared me," She breathed, grabbing his arm lightly. "What are you doing out here?"
"I heard some splashing. I thought it was a wild animal." He shrugged, teasing her with his comment. He saw the slight puff of her cheeks as she pouted, making him smile even more. "Kidding. I really did hear the splashing though. And then I saw you. What are you doing out here?"
"I wanted to swim, even if it was just a little." She said, scratching her cheek in embarrassment.
Hikaru's eyes watched as water dripped from her hair and over her skin, passing her chest and finally hitting the water once more. He gulped and tried to get his mind out of those thoughts, but the more he tried to push them away, the more they kept popping up.
"You okay?" Hikari asked, putting a hand to his cheek to check his temperature.
His arm snaked around her waist and pulled her close, making her chest push against his. He lifted her up so she was level height with him now and cupped her cheek, making her look at him in the eye.
"Hikaru?" She asked confused, placing her hands on his shoulders to keep herself balanced.
His eyes softened before he leaned forward and pressed his lips on hers. She stiffened momentarily as she gathered what was going on, making her confused on what he was doing. She relax and wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling the muscles of his shoulders and back flex while holding her up.
He licked her bottom lip, pushing past her lips to lick the inside of her mouth and rub against her tongue. She moaned slightly at the feeling, never having felt something like this before. Her fingers went into his hair, gripping the softness of it and pulling her closer to him.
Finally she pulled back and breathed in, catching her breath from the deep kiss and looking at Hikaru with a questioning stare. She didn't know what he meant by the sudden kiss, and hoped it wasn't just to play with her.
"What?" She asked, as he placed his forehead on hers, breathing her in gently and splaying his hand out on her back.
"I could resist the temptation." He chuckled, looking into her blue eyes.
His amber eyes captivated her as she stared into them, unable to look away. The moonlight shined in them and seemed to cause a sparkle to dance around in them. She gasped again as he forcefully squeezing her body closer to his so their heat wrapped around one another.
"She I not have?" He asked, the squeeze of her body a sign of worry for him.
She pecked his lips, a smile on her face as she cupped his face. She shook her head, looking at him warmly. "I almost fell into temptation a few times." She giggled, seeing the smile on his face full of pride and heart warming feelings.
Hikaru bent backwards, dropping both of them into the waters and underneath its cover before he kissed her lips again, wanting the waters to cool them off so they didn't pass the line already. The broke the surface and laughed, and Hikaru wiped off some of the water from her face and tucked her hair back, happy that she had the same feelings as he did.
"We should get back to bed soon." Hikari told him, her arms around his neck and straight out as she kissed him again, never finding it enough with the kisses.
"In a little bit. We need to swim more." He smiled, kissing her nose and falling back to the water.
"Kya!"
Hikari woke up quickly and sat up in the bed, looking around the room to find Jasmine at the door, shouting at the girls to shut up. She slipped out of bed to the shower, ignoring the fangirl screams that were already raging outside the houses as the hosts woke up for the day.
"Here's your wig," Jasmine yawned, already in her new clothes for the day.
"Thanks," She yawned back, slipping into her disguise and finally putting her wig on to cover her hair. "What's all the noise about?" She asked, still hearing the squeals.
"Who knows," Jasmine shrugged, opening the door and walking out with Kou.
"Why are you so loud?" Kaoru yawned, walking out of their house with Hikaru and the other hosts in tow coming down the bridge.
"You won't believe it!"
"Last night we saw Hikaru swimming!"
"Yeah, yeah! But he wasn't alone!"
Both Kou and Hikaru tensed up as the girls squealed, both in excitement and in jealousy.
"He was with a girl! She wasn't one of us!"
"Yeah! And they were kissing!"
"KYA!"
They all squealed again, thinking of one of the hosts members actually being with a girl and being all romantic made it all the better for them.
Kyoya pushed his glassed up on his nose and they glinted as he looked at Kou, giving him a sharp look which Kou in turn turned his head and decided not to look at him.
"It may have just been a dream all of you had." Kyoya said, trying to get them to think it over.
"There's no way Hikaru would…!" Tamaki stopped his sentence flat as he spotted Kou with red ears and trying to slowly walk away, realization hitting the president of the host club hard. "AH!"
"Did you figure out who it was?"
They all began crowding around him, asking him questions which he was too shocked to answer as he continued to stare at Kou. The girls seemed to realize who he was staring at and rushed over to the other host club member.
"Do you know who she was?"
"Yeah! Is she a friend of yours?"
"Is she and ex-girlfriend?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"What types of girls do you like?"
The topic seemed to change from Hikari and Hikaru out in the ocean last night, to who Kou was interested in and if he was in a relationship of his own.
"I like all of you," He said with a smile, rubbing his neck in embarrassment.
The girls pouted and pressed closer, putting their hands on his stomach and shirt. "That's not good enough!"
"Ah! That's…Well I….Please stop….I…." Kou fumbled, trying to explain to them and at the same time get them to let him go before they found out about the bandages. "Help!" He called out to the host club.
Suddenly Kou was lifted up into the air and was sitting in Mori's arm out of their reach safely. Kou's hand was on his shoulder, keeping him balanced without falling backwards. The girls squealed in delight as they looked at the new prospective drama relationship for the host club.
Honey ushered the girls away, bringing them back to the waters so they wouldn't ask questions anymore. Mori set her down and went after Honey and the girls, wondering if the small boy had his tube with him.
Kyoya walked over and raised an eyebrow at Kou. "A little night swim?"
"Yeah," He ground out shakily, not daring to look the guy in the eyes.
"You're corrupting our club!" Tamaki cried, grabbing Hikaru's shoulders and shaking him erratically. "Why did you corrupt one of the girls in our club?"
"Stop it," Haruhi scolded him, shaking her head in disbelief. "Hikari has her own life too."
"Sorry," She laughed shortly, rubbing her neck.
"Whatever you do outside of the club is your own problem. But do try to keep it outside of the club." Kyoya told her before walking off promptly, making her paranoid why she didn't get a disciplinary action of money from the money crazed man.
"Come on," Hikaru smiled, grabbing Kou's hand and tugging him along. "We have mommy and daddy's permission after all."
Tamaki cried out behind them as he heard what Hikaru said, finding it sad that he just agreed to it and making it worse that it sounded like they were siblings.
