Chapter 4: Double Blackmail
"So if you don't mind I need to talk to Kyoya. Bye." I pushed Tamaki to the side and bolted out of the circle of hosts. I ran, or tried to, as fast as I could to where I had last seen Kyoya. He was still there taking notes down in a black book.
"Kyoya!" He looked up from his book and gave me a fake smile.
"What can I do for you Miss?"
"Cut the crap. It's me, Sam." His smile faded right away. I pulled my mask off and looked around.
"Sorry about this but my mom dressed me up. I thought maybe you'd have a suit for me to borrow for tonight."
"Ah, well you see Samantha I was just thinking about you."
"What?" I raised an eyebrow at him. This was a little too weird for me. Kyoya smiled again and I wanted to puke. It wasn't a friendly smile, more like a I-have-a-plan smile.
"Since you are unable to attend to the guest in your...other form, I came up with an idea. You will be singing for us; the other singer for the event didn't show up. Also, you have to dance with all the hosts at least once."
"What! Why do I have to do that? I rather host than sing in front of these people and I definitely don't want to dance with Tamaki or you."
"Well, I can always tell everyone your secret." I scowled at him. I really wanted to rip that smug smile off his ugly face.
"Fine but I'm only singing one song. I, also, don't want to dance with you."
"Fine but you have to dance with everyone else. Now, why don't you start the entertainment." I huffed and marched away from him toward the stage. He had some nerve to double blackmail me.
I stood on stage and whispered to one of the guys. They all nodded indicating they knew the song. I grabbed to mike and coughed into it. A sea of black and white masks turned toward me. My stomach did multiple cartwheels; I never felt so nerves in my life.
"Uh, hello. Um, I'm Sam Frost's sister Samantha. Um, I'll be performing one song for you all. Feel free to dance and, uh, not look at me." My palms felt sweaty. I've performed in front of people before but never in front of people I hardly knew. I heard the first chords of the song play and breathed in; finally when my part came in I exhaled.

I let out a sigh of relief when my part was over. I didn't even wait for the music to fade as I walked off the stage to the back. Never will I sing in front of people like that again; I'll stick to singing in the shower.
"That was wonderful!" I was suddenly engulfed into a death squeezing hug. I was spun around and felt my head getting dizzy.
"Put me down!" Tamaki, reluctantly, let me go. I huffed at him and glared at the other hosts. They stared at me as if I were a ghost. I suddenly remembered my mask and hastily put it back on.
"Uh, so you guys liked the song," I said nervously.
Sam and I look alike, yes, but my face was more girlier than his ever since I hit puberty. Hopefully the hosts wouldn't notice anything. During lunch they all had seen a photo of me and Sam two years ago on my phone. Tamaki had commented on how girly my "sister's" face looked and that my facial structure was like hers after two years. I nearly had a heart attack when he said that.
"It was wonderful, my Princess. You have an amazing voice! I bet your brother is so proud of you."
"Uh, okay..." Tamaki grasped my hands and smiled at me.
"Come let us dance!"
"I don't want to-" It was too late to complain. Tamaki had whisked me onto the dance floor and the music had started up again. They played a waltz and I tried not to step on his feet. I had to keep my head down and watch our steps.
"Why keep such a lovely head down, Princess?"
"Because I can't dance. Stop calling my Princess." Right then I stepped on Tamaki's foot really hard. He winced in pain; I couldn't help but giggle.
"Told you I can't dance." After the song was over I pulled away from a sore footed Tamaki to go and find the food.
"Sammy-chan!" I froze. The only one who called me that was a very short third year. Hunny was now standing in front of me. I gave him a small smile.
"Um, were you calling me?"
"Yup! I usually call Sam that but I couldn't seem to come up with a nickname for you so I used Sam's." Hunny made a pouting face and I wanted to squeal. He was just too freaking cute!
"Well, my brothers call me Sama. I don't like it but I don't mind if you want to call me that." Hunny smiled and pulled my hand tugging me onto the dance floor. Dancing with Hunny was kinda weird. Since he was so short I just spun him around a couple of times. He seemed to be enjoying himself, though.
After, Hunny I found myself dancing with Haruhi. There was an awkward silence between us. I just kept my eyes trained on the floor.
"Can I ask you something, Frost-san?"
"Uh, sure."
"Your not Samantha, are you?" I stopped dancing and stared at Haruhi. She was wrong but also kinda right.
"W-what do you mean?" I tried to act cool.
"Well, I mean you're Sam pretending to be your sister. It could be that you're Samantha but have been pretending to be your brother." I looked down at the ground again. She had figured it out.
"How'd you find out," I whispered.
"You act the same and when I saw your face without the mask, well that helped too."
"I'm really Samantha, okay. Just don't tell the other hosts. If they find out I'm going to get an even bigger punishment from my brothers." Haruhi nodded and we resumed dancing. I felt okay with her at least knowing. I knew she wouldn't blackmail me like the evil shadow king. This wouldn't be so bad, just as long as no one else knew.
Hey people. Sorry for the late update. I've been busy. I don't know if I'm going to continue this story or not. It has gotten kinda boring for me to write. I've been writing other stories in my notebook and might want to start those instead of finishing this one. I don't know depends on how I feel about this...I'll think about it.
The song was Sakasama no Chou or The Inversed Butterfly. It was the theme song to the anime Hell Girl. I love the song so much so I wanted to put it up here as well. Here are the English lyrics.
Someday the inversed butterfly will face the light
I cut my hair with you in the mirror
The echoing sound of footsteps in the hallway when class is in session
The sound of the incessant rain follows
While the figure feels, it seems bright
It'll become a sweet flower; it'll even become a poisonous fruit
It's raining today, too, even now
I want to connect to him through his sky and my sky
In this Craziness, Uncertainty
I wonder if we can leave the thoughts of each and everyone somewhere
In this Craziness, You gave me life
I wonder to what point we can protect a single thought
You remember it, the inversed butterfly
The exchange of mail is unstopping
Even if I've been set adrift, I should swim
The incessant voices of people are like waves
The melodies that I'll convey, while I believe in them
Are a gentle rhythm that feels like crying
It's always raining; the present will continue into the future
I want to think so-
In this Craziness, Uncertainty
I wonder if we can leave the figures of each and everyone somewhere
In this Craziness, You gave me life
I wonder to what point we can protect each figure
Feelings that don't want to become words exist
No matter how far people reach out their hands, an unreachable place inside of people exists
Because I love the inaudible thoughts of each and everyone
Even if they don't become something, they won't be changing on any day
In this Craziness, Uncertainty
I wonder if we can leave the thoughts of each and everyone somewhere
In this Craziness, You gave me life
I wonder to what point we can protect a single thought
In this Craziness, Uncertainty
I wonder if we can leave the figures of each and everyone somewhere
In this Craziness, You gave me life
I wonder to what point we can protect each figure
In this Craziness, Uncertainty
Each and everyone's aspirations
In this Craziness, You gave me life
A single brilliance
In this Craziness, Uncertainty
Each and everyone's heartbeats
In this Craziness, You gave me life
A single impression
In this Craziness, Uncertainty
Each and everyone's gaze
In this Craziness, You gave me life
A single coincidence
In this Craziness, Uncertainty
Each and everyone's warmth
In this Craziness, You gave me life
A single promise
