I watched as Katherine rang the doorbell to the large mansion, eagerly waiting for someone to answer the door. I couldn't help glaring at Katherine as she stood there, instead of flinching from my glare she turned and flashed me a bright smile, saying,
"Thanks for coming Kin!" My anger couldn't help fading at Katherine's excitement; it was impossible to ever sustain any irritation at her.
"Yeah, whatever Ellie." I told her, smiling slightly, still not very willing to come into his house with Katherine. The door opened and a small boy appeared, his brown hair cropped and his sharp eyes surrounded by thin glasses.
"Who are you?" He said sharply, narrowing his gaze at Kitty and I. Katherine introduced herself, clearly forcing herself to be polite. Pointing to me she introduced me to the boy and I was tempted to roll my eyes at him. This boy clearly doesn't care who we are and why we are here.After Kitty said that we were here for Mitsukuni and Takashi, the boy told us brusquely that he was in the kitchen; the boy didn't appear to like Mitsukuni. Kitty smiled at him once again, then walked into the mansion, heading towards what I assumed was the kitchen. I wandered behind her, continually distracted by the hallways branching off from the main corridor and the random furniture in the mansion, the empty spaces and arcing ceilings making me feel spatially confused. We arrived at the kitchen to see Mitsukuni eating an entire cake. I could not help smiling at the sight; Mitsukuni was such a fascinating character, him and Kyoya were the only ones that I enjoyed examining, the majority of the other host club member's motivations and characters could easily be identified.
"Kitty! Kin-chan! What are you two doing here?" exclaimed Mitsukuni. Katherine's head tilted and confusion covered her face. I knew that Katherine had told me that she had told Mitsukuni that she was coming over. Maybe I can go home now….
"I thought that I told you I was coming over yesterday…I promised to come over and make lunch some time." Katherine said, she was trying to cover her hurt and surprise but it came through in voice. However, Honey smiled charmingly and proclaimed in his squeaking falsetto voice,
"Oh I remember Kitty!" Katherine must be pleased, I thought. Suddenly a voice that I didn't hear very often spoke, it was Takashi,
"I'm surprised that Kin is here." Katherine and I both glanced at him in surprise that he had spoken. I signed, remembered earlier this afternoon when Katherine had pleaded with me for me to come with her to Honey's home. I generally despise going to meet people, however Katherine had convinced me by promising to make me food. I am an atrocious cook yet I generally like food, so Katherine bribes me with food, it's the only way for me to go against my strong will.
After Katherine finished explaining our system of bribery I couldn't help blushing. Mitsukuni and Takashi were giving me blank looks, and I knew what they were thinking. I truly do not seem like the type of person who takes bribes or loves food. I generally exercise though to make up for eating.
"Hey I like my food. So don't give me those looks. Besides you'd do the same things for cakes Mitsukuni." I said quickly by way of explanation, making a hurried defense. After which I went to sit on a counter in the kitchen and watch Kitty make food. She decided to make meatloaf and French fries, which ended up working quite well. Afterwards I was truly in the mood for ice cream so I said,
"That was good Ellie…why don't we all go get ice cream or something?" I knew that Katherine had wanted to bake a desert, however I thought she deserved a break from cooking for me. After ice cream, Katherine and I went back to her house, leaving Mitsukuni and Takashi. We ended up watching an American show called Bones. Katherine also kept me up to date on the doings of the Host Club; I hadn't come in a week since I was busy with schoolwork. I ended up spending the night at Katherine's house, as I didn't want to leave her alone since her mom was out again. We finally drifted off to sleep late at night, ultimately pleased with our day.
