Good day once more! So good to 'see' you all again...hahaha, did you see what I did there, did you? Ah, nevermind...tough crowd I guess...
Anywhoo, here is the next installment of the little FanFic I got goin' on here, so enjoy!
Also, if I owned any form or part of the Host Club, Hikaru and Kaoru would be in it a whole lot more, so, as you can tell, I don't own it...*sobs quietly in the corner*
Oh right! Well, enjoy reading my lil' pals :3
Getting back to the Host Club was a little more difficult than Haruhi had originally thought; she had tripped and fallen a few times, quite ungracefully as well. Alas, she had achieved her immediate goal, and was currently in the Host King's arms as he recited a mantra which included Haruhi's name, the fact that she was late and the blank expression that she was sporting on her face. Kyoya, on the other hand, was happy to simply look ahead and write in his little notebook and the twins were looking at each other, anticipating their time with Haruhi.
Begrudgingly, she realised that she had actually opened the doors to the Host Club itself (sans Mori and Hani - but they were often late with all their martial arts and other 'ninja-y' stuff). She then proceeded to get her 'father' off by pinching the skin on his hand. He quickly pulled away with tears in his eyes and a red mark on his hand, a little squeal escaping his mouth. Once Tamaki was off, sitting in a dark corner, Haruhi was flanked by the twins and their worries.
Hikaru, on Haruhi's left, was hugging her with slight tears in his eyes as Kaoru mirrored his position and expression on Haruhi's right. "We were so worried!" they exclaimed, "It's so late, where were you for so long?"
"Actually, my experience over the past few minutes was…unusual, to say the least." Haruhi replied, monotone and quite done with all this physical attention. "Well, I think it was anyway..."
"Whatever do you mean-" Hikaru began.
"-unusual, Haruhi?" Kaoru finished.
"I mean that I was just here, but you weren't, and the room was full of strange people who I've never met before. It was really weird, but then I suddenly woke up on the floor in the hallway."
"I believe that's what you would call 'daydreaming', Haruhi." Kyoya said, temporarily glancing up from writing, a sly smirk on his face.
"Yeah, Haruhi," the twin's commented, pulling away from Haruhi to lean on each other, content that she was safe. "You must've been way out of it to daydream so heavily and fall over." They then proceeded to look at each other, evil smiles on their faces. "That is, unless you didn't fall over on accident…"
"You little devils!" Tamaki shouted, jumping from his corner to stand in front of Haruhi, facing the twins, protecting his 'little girl'. "How dare you assault Haruhi in the middle of the hallway! It's just so…so…"
""so" what, Tamaki?" piped up Kyoya.
"So…rape-y!" he screamed, pointing at the twins in an accusatory manner. "How dare you try to do such a thing to my precious little girl! Have you not a sensible bone in your bodies?" he then attempted to corral Haruhi into a hug, but she ducked under his arms, letting him fall into an uncoordinated heap on the tiled floor. She then advanced on the twins, anger in her eyes.
"So you admit it; you did put a banana peel on the ground out there!" she spoke calmly, too calmly to be good.
"Well now, who could say?" the mischievous devils replied, still sporting their grins, their shoulders shrugged.
"Haruhi," Kyoya stated, glancing over with his glasses reflecting the light, "did you pick up that banana peel? We can't very well have our guests slipping over so unceremoniously through the halls like yourself. Not to mention, we don't condone littering."
Haruhi glanced upwards, her finger to her chin, with a contemplative expression. "Well, now that you mention it, it wasn't there…I mean, I remember slipping on it, walking into this room, meeting those weird people and then -after a bright flash of light- I was back on the floor, but the banana peel was missing."
"Then there wasn't any banana peel in the first place, it was simply a part of your delusion, to explain why you ended up on the floor." Kyoya stated, going back to writing in his notebook.
"How could you say something so cold, Kyoya?" Tamaki exclaimed, picking himself up off the floor and looking worriedly at his best friend, afraid that he would remain this unemotional for the rest of his life, "If Haruhi believes what she has said, then who are we to say otherwise?"
"You're so hopeless…" Kyoya stated, ignoring the Host King's questions.
"I guess that I could have been daydreaming…" Haruhi said, thinking aloud to herself as she turned away from the group, "but, if that were the case, everything wouldn't have been so vivid and I would have to be extremely tired, as I don't usually daydream unless I had a bad night's sleep the night before…"
"Thinking is so boring!" the twin's cried, earning themselves a glare from the ever protective Tamaki, "why don't you just tell us about your daydream since you remember it so well?" they said, walking up behind Haruhi. Tamaki seemed happy with this idea, as he almost flew in front of Haruhi, sitting down and looking up into her eyes with stars in his own. "See? Even the boss is in! So, spill the beans, Haruhi." the twins said, pulling Haruhi down on the ground as they sat on either side of her, their legs pulled up to their chests and their eyes gleaming with excitement. At that moment, Haruhi decided she had nothing better to do, so she crossed her legs and looked at all the eager faces around her, contemplating how she would describe what had happened.
However, before she could get in a word, the doors opened, revealing a cheery Hani on top of Mori's shoulders. "Hi everyone!" Hani shouted, "Sorry we're so late, Takashi had to stay a little longer at his Kendo meeting again." Mori just put Hani on the ground and subtly nodded, his way of saying that Hani was telling the truth. Hani pulled Usa-chan closer to his chest and grinned sweetly, peering curiously at the little group huddled in the middle of the room. "Ooooh!" he said excitedly, "Is Haru-chan telling secrets? We love secrets, don't we, Takashi?" he questioned, peering at his cousin.
"We do." Mori deeply replied. At that, Hani dragged Mori over to the group and they presently sat down, Hani next to Tamaki and Mori next to Kaoru.
"Come on! Come on! Say it! Say it!" Hani repeated endearingly.
Haruhi then began, smiling a little first, deciding that she couldn't say "no" to that cute little face no matter how hard she tried. However, as she continued with her story, the eager smiles and looks that surrounded her gradually faded; even Kyoya was sporting a slight frown as he began writing more quickly in his book where he was leaning against the wall.
Hehe, it was so much fun to write the other Hosts in :3 Well, I certainly hope that you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it :D
And, well, until the next time I guess!
(I should be updating soon...probably sometime tomorrow...bye!)
