~Enjoy~ Emi's POV
It's finally December. The time of the year when everything is beautiful. 'Oh no, I've become Tamaki.' I think, laughing at the thought. I've always loved December, the holidays and all.
"What's got you in such a good mood?" Hikaru asked as the three of us made our way to the music room. I looked at the twins and saw they both wore matching curious looks.
"It's because it's only two and a half weeks till christmas. You guys that means two things." I say as they both continue with the blank stares. I roll my eys at them. "1) it means Tamaki is planning something for the hostclub." The twins nodded like they saw that coming.
"What about the other thing Emi?" Kaoru asked. We've reached the music room by then and I open the door. I stop and face the two Cheshire cats.
"It's my little secret." I said giving them an evil grin. With that I ran into the room leaving two red heads, sharing a curious look. When I get in I see that they obviously didn't know it was December. I mean the room was decked out in palm trees and tropical things. "Tamaki, you do know it's December right? As in winter?" I say as the rest of the hosts came forward. All of them were dressed in things that reminded me of Aztecs or island pardises.
"We my darling sister are expressing our joy of showing off our beautiful looks even if it's too cold outside. For you wouldn't cover up a priceless relic just because of the temperature. Then I don't see why we should do so either." Tamaki said, waving his fan around. 'Seriously I sometimes wonder how I'm even remotely related to him' I face-palmed and sighed.
"Let me guess it was Kyoya's idea wasn't it?" I muttered.
"Of course. Tamaki wanted us to dress like Santas for December." Kyoya said as he jotted down notes in his notebook, a smirk traced across his face.
"You are such a shadow king." I say as I walk past him to an empty changing room. Since Haruhi started working with us I've been working too. Every so often I get to help out with some of the guys' acts, or I'm open for some guys to visit and talk to me too. But anyways, since I work I have to be included with their weird cosplay themes, so that means I get my own changing room. In the room was a simple outfit that looked like a hula girl, only instead of a coconut bra was sort of a halter top. The skirt was grass green, with the top being red. I smile, 'I guess even in this I can be into Christmas. I start to step out, but turn back to grab my santa hat I had earlier. The colors matched my outfit wonderfully. When I walked out I saw that Haruhi had come. It seemed like Tamaki was giving her his speech about why they did this instead of something that went with the season.
"Hey Haruhi, are you going to dress like them too?" I ask with a smile.
"No way, I'm doing this to clear a debt. That didn't include me dressing like an idiot." She said bluntly. I look down at my outfit and frown. 'Am I an idiot for going along with this? Have I lost my cool edge?' I walk over to Tamaki's emo corner and sit there sulking for a bit.
~Over at the other side of the room. Third person POV~
The twins looked over at Emi, they've changed into their costumes too.
"You know Kaoru, if Emi won't tell us about why she likes December so much, does this mean we shouldn't go cheer her up while she's in the corner." Hikaru said, looking at his younger brother.
"I think one of us at least should cheer her up, the club is about to open. Also Hikaru, I know you hate it when you see your angel upset." Kaoru said, giving Hikaru a secretive smile. Hikaru blushed a bit and walked away.
"Do what you want, she's not my problem. Besides, I'd never referl a girl related to milord an angel. More like a goblin." Hikaru said dismissively Kaoru looked over at Emi and smiled. He knew that Hikaru and Emi had feeling for each other since the first day she came to their class. They just hadn't realized it yet. By now the regular customers had filed in for the regular activities.
~Back to Emi's POV~
I finally got out of the corner and started to set up for my time of hosting. For today guys were allowed to come if they wanted to flirt with me. But there were only just a few guys, like normal.
"So guys, what are your plans for Christmas?" I ask to start up conversation with them. Unlike the hosts these guys didn't know how to start up a good conversation. I was sitting next to a guy with black hair and dark black eyes, he seemed like someone I'd describe as a black knight in a fairy tale. The two other guys sitting around me were average looking guys.
"Well my family is going skiing in Switzerland this year." One of the guys said, I really don't remember if they told me their names or not.
"U-um I'm going away to France for the winter holidays. The weather is supposed to be nice." The other average one stuttered. I guess he's never really talked with a girl before. I bet he gets matched up through an matchmaker or something his parents set up. I feel sorry for the poor guy. It seemed like most of these guys'll end up like that. I look over at the Dark Knight, I'm so going to call him that now, he was staring around the room un-interested. I nudge him a bit, he looks over at me.
"I'm just staying here, alone, for Christmas." He says, giving me a small smile. I smile back at him.
"Well, for Christmas I'm throwing a little party with my brother on Christmas eve, we're going to decorate the main room. Although, I have a feeling my brother is going to throw another party for everyone here." I shoot the two other guys a smile, one of them I swear gasped for air. I spare a moment to glance at Haruhi was doing. She seems like a natural with these girls, kind of ironic really. One of the girls, I think her name was Kanako, walked over to her. She was kinda pretty for someone in a yellow monstrosity. I couldn't hear what they were saying but judging by the look on everyone's face i could tell things were about to become interesting.
After the hosting hours were over we all gathered around to hang out and rest for a bit. Tamaki had reclaimed his corner, and was now eating ramen.
"Tamaki, you really shouldn't do that." I state as I st down next to Haruhi.
"Does it really bother you that Kanako's new favorite is Haruhi?" Hikaru asked as I pull out a book and started to skim over it.
"It's not like her sickness had just started or anything." Kyoya stated as he continued working. The rest of us nodded to that.
"Uh sickness?" Haruhi asked, giving the rest of us a blank stares.
"Really Haruhi you don't know about the sickness?" I asked giving her a surprised look. I mean the guys should've explained this to her.
"It's the Host switching sickness," Hikaru said standing next to me.
"Most girls just settle for one host to visit regularly, but a few like Kanako, go switches hosts often. Last week her favorite was Tamaki." I explained to Haruhi. "Oh, so you're jealous that I took one of your customers." Haruhi said, understandingly.
"No that's not it," Tamaki rushes forward, yelling. "How is it you're so popular with the girls when you yourself are a girl. But no one knows that but us here. That's it Daddy wants Haruhi to go back to being his little girl. He wants you to look like this." Tamaki pulls out a blown up picture of Haruhi from his chest of personal items. I roll my eyes, should've known he had something like that.
"Hey, don't blow up other peoples pictures with out asking." Haruhi yelled at Tamaki.
"Haruhi, chill out for a moment. My dumbass brother here shouldn't do that I know. But did you expect him to do anything other than something as stupid as this." I state. Tamaki looks at me, shocked that I used the word dumbass. He should know by now that I spent most of my life in the NYC, words like, especially when you hang out outside you hear almost everyday. 'Ok, I'm bored with this.' I think as I tune out the rest of their conversation. I got up and went to my designated changing room. In it my school uniform was missing. "Where the hell is my uniform." I yell out as I see what was left in it's place. It was a long sleeved, dark green dress. It had a little brown belt to go with it. This is definently something I'd never wear. My usual choice for out fits is a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. Or even a suit jacket with a nice shirt.
"We thought you'ld look better in something that's meant for a girl. Since unlike Haruhi, you look like a girl even with the male uniform." I turn around and see Hikaru standing there, smirking away. I roll my eyes in disgust at him.
"Yeah well, this isn't really my style. You know that." I say tossing the dress on top of a nearby chair. I stand in front of the mirror. Maybe I can leave with just this on.
"Well, you can't leave like this." Hikaru states gesturing to my outfit. "You'll freeze as soon as you leave the building Besides it wouldn't kill you to wear a dress instead of jeans." I roll my eyes.
"Yeah I guess not..." I pick the dress back up and look at it. It wasn't that bad, and if I was going to wear a dress it might as well be a Hitachiin original. "I mean I am just going to the car." I look over at my tormentor. He's giving me this weird look.
"Then you're going to have to do something about your hair." Hikaru states.
"What's wrong with my hair?" I feel my hair, it's covered in there usual clips to keep it held up in the usual bun.
"It's better if you let it fall." Hikaru states as he pulled loose one of the clips. That all it took, the other pins flew out and my hair fell down just past my shoulders. I stared at him. "See, I was right Angel." He smirked at that.
"G-Get out, I need to change if I'm ever going to leave this school." I say turning away from the red-haired twin. He didn't say anything, just turned and left. I can't believe that I let him do something like that. No wonder Haruhi called us idiots. I sure felt like one right now. I quickly changed into the dress. It was really simple and wasn't that showy. I looked at myself in the mirror, I didn't look like me. I looked, dare I say it cute. I step outside and see that everyone else had left. The only people left were the twins.
"Took you long enough." Hikaru said nonchalantly, he acts like what happened a few minutes ago didn't happen. 'Ok I can handle pretending that it didn't happen.' I think with relief.
"I knew that dress would be perfect for you Emily." Kaoru said with a smile. He held my bag out for me to take. "Everyone else left, we told Tono that we'd take you home. Besides we need to fill you in on the plan."
"What plan?" I ask as we walk out towards the car.
"Well, Milord and the rest of us are hosting a big Christmas party. Haruhi has to go and dance too. But she can't dance so we have to teach, that causes us to have to close the club to the public until the party." Kaoru said. Hikaru was strangely quiet throughout all of this.
"Cool, I guess I have to got to this party to don't I?" I say, I really wasn't looking forward to wearing heels and a nice dress. I could barely walk, let alone dance in shoes that were above an inch off the ground.
"Angel, it wouldn't be a fun party without you." Hikaru said, shooting me a smile.
"Yeah, also at this party they'll be a casino. We both know you can't resist any games like that." Kaoru said shooting me an identical smile. Ok, this party just got a little better. I love games like blackjack and other games of chance. The rest of the ride was in silence, strangely enough. They dropped me off at my place and that was it. I quickly hid in my room before Tamaki saw what I was wearing. I couldn't have him thinking that this outfit was a willing choice of fashion.
~The Next Day~
The day went as normal, except for the club hours that is. But then again there is no such thing as normal for my brother and his friends. Haruhi was learning how to dance, and his teacher was none other than Ms. Kanako. I sat there with everyone else watching them practice the waltz. Tamaki though was sitting by the window sulking up a storm, apparently he wanted to teach Haruhi how to waltz. 'He is so crushing on her it's not even funny.' I think as I watch Haruhi and Kanako stop to take a break. The music didn't stop though.
"Ahem,Emi, do you think I could have this dance?" Kaoru asked, a grin growing across his face. I on the other hand sweat dropped, I've never really danced before. I mean I knew how to but I preferred not to.
"Um, well you see I.." I mumbled. But too late, Kaoru pulled me out of my chair and began spinning me around. I followed in step to him easily. It was a little weird. I looked at him and grinned, he was totally up to something. I learned a long time ago to be able to tell when the twins were planning something. They always had this devilish look in their eyes. "What are you up to?" I ask him.
"Oh, nothing really just this..." Kaoru said, and with that he spun me, right into Hikaru.
"What the hell," I hear him mumble as soon as I used him as a way to stop spinning. I stayed there for a bit, I was too dizzy to move.
"Sorry, Devil," I say, since he were using my old nickname I think I have the right to pull out the one I had for him. All of a sudden I feel his chest rise and fall fast, he was laughing.
"I haven't been called that since summer last year." He says laughing a little harder. I remember how we came up for those nicknames. Just the two of us. He called me Angel because he caught me singing, and I called him Devil because of his dastardly pranks he pulled on Tamaki. The only other people who knew of why we called each other these names were Tamaki and Kaoru, other than that no one knew why. I begin laughing too.
"I guess I'm bringing it back." I say backing away from him I look over and see that Haruhi and Kanako had left. "Where's Haruhi?" I ask.
"Ms. Kanako hurt her hand and Haruhi was much obliged to take her to the nurses office." Kyoya said, without looking up from his laptop. As soon as he finished his sentence Haruhi came in.
"Did you guys know that Kanako was engaged?" Haruhi inquired, sounding a little surprised.
"I didn't. But personally I'm not surprised. I mean most girls at this school are either betrothed or soon to be. That's what most rich families do with their daughters." I say calmly, or as calmly as I can after what just happened with Hikaru. I was still a little shaken up from that.
"His name is Tohru Suzushima. He is a third year student who is planning to study abroad in England next semester." Kyoya stated. He pulled up a picture for us to look at. The guy looked pretty ordinary, nothing compared to the guys. He had brown hair and a average looking face. Some might even describe him as boring. The twins definetly were in that category of people.
"That explains her host switching sickness." Kaoru stated.
"It's a last fling before settling down." Hikaru added. I had to agree, it seemed like that was it. But it also seemed like some piece of this puzzle was missing. Haruhi looked like she agreed with me on this one.
"I don't know guys." Haruhi said. All of a sudden we hear a bing sound, like someone having an idea. I look over and see Tamaki sitting on one of the couches with a stupid idea written across his face. Oh no, this isn't going to end well.
"Well then we'll have to test this theory." Tamaki announced, and with that began our plan for the party.
~The Night Of The Party~
I sat down near the grand staircase, bored out of my mind. Tamaki just got finished with his little speech of beauty. Seriously, I don't get how it's totally original everytime. You'ld think he'd run out of new material or something. Anyways, everyone was standing watching the students have the first dance. No one had asked me yet, and I doubted anyone will. Strike that, I hope no one will. I didn't want to dance, especially in these shoes and this dress. I mean it wasn't that bad, my dress was a blue strapless dress with a snowflake design on the front, black lace under the skirt, and it stopped right above my knee. The shoes were a pair of one inch black heels. I doubted I could dance in the shoes. More like I'd end up stepping on my partners feet the entire time. Anyways the first dance seemed to have ended when someone walked up to me. I looked up at the guy, it was the Dark Knight from the other day. I can't believe he came to this, let alone dressed for the occasion. He stuck with his nickname and dressed in a black tux with a black tie to match.
"Hello Ms. O'Malley, I'm glad to see you again. Would you care to dance." He said, a bit stiffly. But I could tell that he wanted to dance with me, he was just a bit nervous.
"I'd be delighted to, although I'm warning you I'm not that great of a dancer." I said, a bit embarrassed.
"It's ok with me." He says, and with that he guides me to the dance floor.
~Hikaru's POV~
I watched as Angel was led onto the dance floor by some mysterious guy in black. For some reason all I wanted to do at that moment was to march right up to the guy and flatten him to nothing.
"Hikaru what's wrong? You look like you just swallowed a lemon." Kaoru said, a bit worried. That caused me to soften a bit, I hate worrying my twin. Kaoru followed my gaze and saw Emily dancing with the guy. "Oh, I see your angel is dancing with human instead of her devil." he said, giving me this smile. He knew I disliked it when he calls Emily mine, even more so when he uses our nicknames.
"I've told you before, I have no interest in any girl related to an idiot like Tono." I stated loudly, like I had something to prove. Which I didn't. I mean why in the world would I have feelings for anyone. Especially a girl who on the first day of school yelled at me for being a jerk.
"Whatever you say, although if you did have feelings for Emily, you might want to make them known soon. It seems like you have some competition." My younger brother stated as we both looked over and saw how happy Emily looked, dancing with that guy. For some reason I wished for all my might that the person she was dancing with would be me instead of him.
~Back To Emi's POV~
I finished my dance and went to grab Haruhi for the plan. She was dancing a bit with Kanako. I walked by Mori when I had the most amazing idea.
"Hey Mori, think you could help me get Haruhi for the plan." I asked. He gave me a nod in return we both walked toward her and Mori did what was expected. he picked Haruhi right off the ground and we carried her to the back where the twins were waiting. Haruhi was whisked off into a changing room and was quickly returned dressed in a pink spaghetti strapped dress with a flower on the side.
"Wow Haruh-chan you're cute." Hunny stated happily. The twins pulled out a wig and started doing her make-up. It only took a matter of seconds with the two of them working.
"Guys we need to entertain our guests. We need to be out t~" Tamaki said as he bursted in, he stopped what he was saying when he saw Haruhi. I started to laugh, he was speechless for once in his lifetime. With that we sent Haruhi out to finish our plan. She was supposed to meet Kanako's fiancee in an empty classroom with a fake love note. Something he twins created, or whatever. I watched her walk, she was worse in heels than I was. The rest of us headed back to the party.
"So, who was the guy you were dancing with?" Kaoru asked me as we headed back.
"Just one of my customers who probably felt sorry for me. He seems nice." I say, not really caring why it mattered. I noticed that the others were gladly listening in on this conversation, great.
"Well, by the looks of it he seemed to likes you." Kaoru states. I pause for a moment I doubt Dark Knight likes me, I mean I'm not that pretty or smart. I shook my head and continued to walk with the guys. By now everything was calm. a few minutes later we were beginning to count down.
"5,4,3,2,1" Everyone counted down, when we reached one a huge tree lit up. There caught in it's magnificent glory stood Tohru and Kanako. I smiled when they looked at each other.
"May blessings fall upon this clumsy couple." Tamaki announced unto everyone. We all cheered.
"And now it's time to announce the winner, who will get a kiss bestowed upon them by our king." Hikaru announced.
"And that winner is Ms. Kanako, but in place of the king will be Haruhi." Kaoru announced. Me and Tamaki gasped at this. Tamaki looked like he was about to flip. Haruhi made her way down to the couple. I wasn't worried now though, I mean it was only a kiss on the cheek. I leaned forward to watch. My brother on the other hand seemed to finally loose it. He rushed forward, on the verge of stopping it, but instead tripped and pushed Haruhi into a full on the mouth kiss with Kanako. I burst out laughing, the twins joined me. Haruhi walked away leaving my brother to die in shock of what he did. Besides that the party was a snooze. I can't wait for the party I plan to throw on Christmas Eve. I think with a smile.
~End~ Next Chapter: Christmas Part Weirdness Part 2
A/N: Well guys what'd you think? Curious for more? But anyways I have a serious question, should I continue with Dark Knight in the stories or should this just be a one time thing? You decide, review me your answer. Sincerely, Miranda Lawless
