OMG! I am extremely, extremely, extremely sorry that I haven't updated in like forever!!! It's just that I'm currently testing in a bunch of my classes, and my teachers love to torture us students with homework… Yeah, anyways I hope this chapter is worth the wait! Sorry to my few readers out there!!!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any part of this story except for the plot, Nyako Hima, and Shimo Hikari.
Chapter 4: Trying To Solve a Case… Keyword: TRYING
The person in the clown mask laughed an evil and psychotic laugh. It seemed to spook the customers and they all shrieked and ran down the door. Tamaki took the initiative once the girls were all safely out. "Who are you and why are you stealing from us?"
"Mweheheheh… Why, isn't it quite obvious? It's because I hate you son of a bitches!" The clown man laughed again. Haruhi took a nearby broom, while Nyako took a mop.
"EAT THIS YOU RETARD!!!" Haruhi and Nyako threw their cleaning supplies at the masked figure. He got hit upside the head and cursed. He quickly ran out of the spotlight and into the dark.
"I'll be back and more prepared next time you swine!" Then the spotlight was turned off.
"Get back here you thief!" yelled Hikaru. He ended up landing upon Haruhi in the dark. "Whoops! Eh-heheheh… I didn't mean to land on top of you or anything…" Haruhi blushed and hurriedly pushed Hikaru off from on top of her as the lights flickered back on. She hurriedly mumbled "… I'll be getting changed…" and ran off to the changing rooms. Kaoru playfully pushed Hikaru.
"Whoa there, brother! I thought you liked me!" he teased. Hikaru blushed and went off to the changing rooms also. Kyouya cleared his throat.
"Ah-hem… To a more important and pressing matter, for once the mysterious thief has made himself known in person. Judging by his height and voice, it's very clear the perpetrator is male unless he's using a voice modifier." Nyako raised her hand. "Nyako, do you have anything you want to add?"
Nyako cleared her voice. "Judging by the voice, however, we can rule out the probability of a voice modifier since the voice sounded very natural and not garbled like how voice changers usually sound." Everyone looked surprised by what Nyako said (except for Kyouya).
Hunny cheered "Wow, Nyako-chan! I didn't know you knew about stuff like that!" Mori swiftly nodded his head in agreement.
"Oh, my sweet daughter! You are as bright as the morning sun that shines upon us after night has risen!" Tamaki hollered. Nyako rolled her eyes as Tamaki shrunk back to his corner of solitude. Kyouya adjusted his glasses.
"According to what I was able to find out about her, she works secretly as a private investigator." The host club 'ooh-ed' and 'ahh-ed'. Shimo, Haruhi, and Hikaru walked out of the changing rooms right then.
"Shimo-kun, what were you doing in the changing rooms so early?" asked Hunny.
"Well, I was, uh, in there playing around with a customer," Nyako and Haruhi snorted as the rest of the host club members continued listening. "And then the lights went out. It was pitch black and my customer ran out of the room to go look for her friends and go check on them. I wasn't sure of what to do, so I just stayed in the room until the lights came back on."
Kyouya cleared his throat to try and get everyone's attention. "According to the school rules, you aren't allowed to, uh, make out with a fellow student on school premises. You could be suspended." The room became shrouded in silence.
Shimo sweatdropped and nervously replied "Well, could I give you $10,000 for your silence?" Kyouya's glasses seemed to shine brightly as he took the money out of Shimo's hands.
Nyako scoffed. "You're pathetic Kyouya-senpai. You're going to let him buy his way to freedom for what he did? You should be ashamed of your love for money!" Nyako cringed as Kyouya glared at her.
"He's the pathetic one. He plays with women's hearts and gives me more than enough money to buy my silence! Besides, having a part-time job during the school year is against school rules too!" Kyouya retorted. The two had a glaring contest as Hikaru and Kaoru playfully tackled Haruhi in the background. Kyouya sighed. "Look, this isn't solving anything. We're just giving the thief what he wants, we're splitting apart. I suggest we all take a break from hosting for a little while longer and get to know each other better. Why don't we go to an aquarium over the weekend?" Nyako seemed to brighten up.
"YEAH!!! WHOOOT!!! WATCHING FISHIES IS GOING TO DEFINITELY HELP CALM OURSELVES DOWN!!!" exclaimed Nyako.
Hikaru smiled. "Yeah, going to an aquarium is probably going to be very calming indeed after all that's happened…" Kaoru playfully hugged his brother.
"So… It's settled?" asked Haruhi. Tamaki held Haruhi and spun her around.
"You just look absolutely darling with that cute asking face of yours Haruhi-chan!" Mori quickly grabbed Haruhi away from Tamaki's spinning hug as she looked as if she was going to puke.
Kyouya adjusted his glasses. "Well, then, I guess we'll go to the aquarium after school tomorrow…"
Haruhi looked doubtful. She wondered what could possibly happen tomorrow at the aquarium with a group as weird as this…
YAY! Now we can stop worrying about the thief in Ouran! Or at least… For now… DUN DUN DUUUN!!! Anyways, please review or I'll send my horde of 123 mutant chipmunks after you! Also, I'm so sorry that this chapter is really short, but I wanted to save the aquarium storyline for next time! Until next time!
