Chapter Three: Flashbacks of Their Past
{Kaoru's P.O.V.}
When the doors to the third music room opened, and the Host Club hours began, a pair of brunette twins stepped into the room amongst the usual fan girls.
They both had hair the same colour as Haruhi with caramel-coloured highlights, and midnight blue eyes. The one of the left had her hair parted on the right, and the one on the right had her hair parted on the left. The bangs on the opposite side of their parts fell into their eyes, making it so only one was showing. They both had pale skin, and seemed oddly familiar…
I nudged Hikaru's side, and as he turned to look at me, whispered, "Do those girls – the twins – look familiar, or is it just me?"
Hikaru shook his head. "No, I thought that too."
Just then, Tamaki spoke up, cutting off our conversation. "Hello ladies! I hope you have a wonderful time today, you may go and see you're respective host now."
Then he noticed the newcomers.
Tamaki walked over to the twin girls as all the other went to their hosts, and Tamaki's girls waited for him at their usual spot.
"My oh my, you're –" He started, only to be interrupted by the girls.
"Not interested." They said in unison, with bored expressions on their faces.
Tamaki whimpered and went into his corner of woe. "…I was going to say 'new here'…" Her muttered to himself.
Hikaru and I snickered. These girls had managed to send the boss into depression with only two words – not that it took much more than that usually.
We approached them, and each put an arm around one of their waists. I got the girl that had her hair parted on the left – just like me.
I was shocked when she shoved me away and snapped. "Fuck off, Kaoru."
I looked over at Hikaru, who was also getting the same treatment. As the other girl shoved him away, she hissed in the same manner as her sister, "Piss off, Hikaru."
Hikaru and I exchanged glances and turned back to the girls. "You seem to know us," Hikaru started.
"But we don't know you." I finished.
"Figures," The girls said in unison. "We leave for two years, and you forget all about us." They rolled their eyes and put their hands on their hips. "Maybe this will jog your memory."
"My name is Kiyoko Yoshida," The one that Hikaru had put his arm around said.
"And I'm Kiyomi Yoshida." The one that I had put my arm around stated.
And suddenly, we remembered them.
{Flashback One}
Twin sisters, Kiyoko and Kiyomi Yoshida, glared as my brother and I walked into our classroom, burning holes into our skulls. Hikaru and I ignored them how we did every day though. They were insignificant, not a part of our world.
As the boring day filled with lessons dragged on, the girls' glares from behind us remained.
When the bell finally rang for lunch, Hikaru and I quickly got up from our desks and walked to the lunch room. As we sat and ate our ordered lunches, Kiyoko and Kiyomi slide into the seats in front of us.
"What do you want?" We asked in unison, glaring slightly at them.
They rolled their eyes and leaned on their left hand. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." They teased, also in unison.
Hikaru and I scowled at them. "Just answer," I started.
"The question." Hikaru finished.
"We can't sit here?" Kiyomi asked with fake innocence, batting her eyes at me.
"No." I replied.
"Aw c'mon guys, we're just trying to make friends…" Kiyoko whined in the same 'innocent' tone as her sister, batting her eyes at Hikaru.
"Then go make friends with someone else." Hikaru stated blandly.
The girls huffed and stood up. "You know, you'll never make friends if you keep up with that attitude." They said in unison, glaring down at us.
We shrugged. "So?"
Kiyomi and Kiyoko rolled their eyes and went to sit with their other friends that they had managed to make in only one day. The Yoshida twins were new students at Ouran Middle School, and that probably explained why they actually bothered to try befriending us, instead of staying away like everyone else.
Hikaru and I threw out the rest of our lunches, that we didn't want to eat, and walked back to the classroom so we could talk in peace.
{End of Flashback One}
{Flashback Two}
Kiyoko and Kiyomi sat down at our lunch table, and stared at us. Hikaru and I rolled our eyes. The Yoshida twins sitting at our table for the first couple minutes of lunch was a normal occurrence now.
"What will it take," Kiyoko started.
"For you to let us sit with you?" Kiyomi finished her sister's question.
Hikaru and I smirked as we exchanged glances.
"Tell you what," I started. "You can sit with us, if…"
"…If?" They girls asked in unison.
"If you play the 'Which One is Hikaru' game!" Hikaru exclaimed.
Kiyoko and Kiyomi exchanged glances. "What are the rules?"
Hikaru's smirk grew. "It's simple really, all you have to do, is guess which one of us is Hikaru."
"We'll spin around, and hide our parts, as you two close your eyes. If you can guess which one of us if Hikaru correctly, you can sit with us." I explained.
"But, no one's ever gotten it right before!" Hikaru and I said in unison.
The Yoshida twins shrugged. "Sure." They said, and shut their eyes before covering the, with their hands, as if to assure us that they wouldn't peek.
Hikaru and I ruffled our hair so that they couldn't see the parting, and stood up from the table. Then we shuffled around, and called out, "You can open your eyes now!" We were careful to speak at the same time.
Kiyomi and Kiyoko removed their hands from in front of their faces, and opened their eyes. They looked at us for a few seconds, before turning to each other and nodding.
Then, Kiyoko walked over to Hikaru, while Kiyomi walked over to me. When they were directly in front of us, they stopped.
Kiyoko poked Hikaru on the nose and said, "This is Hikaru,"
Then I received a poke on the nose as Kiyomi stated, "And this is Kaoru."
"Reason?" We asked in unison.
"You're eyes are different." They stated simply.
"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.
"Well Kaoru, you eyes are a lighter shade than Hikaru's." Kiyomi explained. "If anything, they're more topaz than gold like your brother's."
Hikaru and I stared at them, dumbfounded. They were able to tell us apart! Not even our aunt could do that!
Kiyoko and Kiyomi turned on their heels and started to walk away, but Hikaru and I grabbed one of their wrists each.
"You won," Hikaru said, still in awe. "Where are you going?"
The girls smirked. "We'll pass on sitting with you – this time. Instead, now you owe us one." Then they left.
{End of Flashback Two}
{OMG – Flashback Three}
The Yoshida twins walked up to Hikaru and I during recess one day, and smiled. "Hey Hikaru, hey Kaoru." They said.
"Hello." We muttered quietly.
"We figured out," Kiyoko started.
"What you owe us." Kiyomi finished, smiling extra big.
"And what would that be?" We asked in unison.
"You have to play…" Kiyomi started this time.
"The 'Which One is Kiyoko' game!" Kiyoko finished, smirking at our shocked expressions.
"You stole that off of us." Hikaru said plainly.
"Nuh uh!" Kiyomi said while waving her finger at us. "It has a different name, so we couldn't have stolen it!"
"It's still similar!" I yelled, exasperated.
"But not the same." Kiyoko pointed out. "Just like you guys. You look alike, but you're not the same person."
Hikaru and I scowled at them, but did not say anything in reply.
"Anyways," The twin sisters drew out the word. "Ready to play?"
We said nothing, but closed our eyes.
"Okay! Ready!"
Hikaru and I opened our eyes to see that the girls had put their hair behind their ears – so we couldn't see their bangs – and had hid their parting underneath black hats.
I looked back and forth between the two girls. Which one is which? I looked at Hikaru who caught my look, and gestured with his eyes to the twin on the right.
"You're Kiyoko!" We exclaimed, pointing at the one on the right.
That girl shook her head, and took off the hat, revealing her part – which was on the left.
The real Kiyoko took off her hat as well, chuckling.
"Looks like you lost our little game!" The sisters said in unison. They winked, before the left again as the ending bell for recess rang.
{End of Flashback Three}
I stared at the twins, who glared back at us. Then I looked over at Hikaru, to see he was in the middle of a glare competition with Kiyoko.
I sighed. "Come on Hikaru, we have costumers to entertain." Then I grabbed the back of my brother's jacket, and hauled him away from the twin sisters, back to our table where our guests were waiting.
