Chapter Four

Kagami had her chapter, its back to my perspective. Thank god. The weirdest part was that Kyoya looked different at me now (if I ever saw him in the hallway or something). It's like he knows that I think the host club is full of potential rapists/male hookers. God I hate this, not the Kyoya part (well it kind of is), but Kaoru kissing me on the cheek the other day. He's not European he's Japanese!

What if he's gay? Not to offend anyone, I think homosexuals are awesome, except for the Hitachiin brothers. That's really creepy. Does that mean that their brotherly love is real? Is that why Hikaru is avoiding Maiko? Man I feel like Tamaki guessing all of this.

I kind of have an excuse for thinking like Tamaki; Kaoru kissing me was out of line. You know it's not fun when you become friends with someone and then later that day they kiss you.

"Rika are you okay?" Akihiro asked while he had walked by my bedroom (In case you guys forgot Akihiro is my adopted father and Masuyo is my adopted mother).

"Huh…yeah I'm fine, I'm just thinking of something" I replied. Akihiro nodded and continued walking. I blew my hair out of my face and sat up on my bed. Should I just face him and ask why he did that, should I ignore him, or should I forget that anything happened. I'll try to erase Kaoru kissing me from my memory…even though I did enjoy it.

I got up and threw on a jacket and put on sneakers. I then proceeded out of my bedroom.

"Where are you going?" Masuyo asked me as I passed by her.

"Out, I need to clear my head a bit." I replied.

"Alright…don't be out too late it is a school night" she told me. I knew she didn't approve, but I was a big girl.

I walked out the door and down the street; and then towards town. Is there something wrong with me? How could I like a man hooker's affection! Once a man hooker always a man hooker, there's no going back. My real mother and older sister would agree…if they were still with me.

Borbala "Bunko" Instinskyaya "Ishikawa" is my sister. My mother was Afanasiia "Chiyoko" Klutrova Instinskyaya "Ishikawa". My father passed away when I was a baby, his name was Foma Instinsky. My name is Radinka "Rika" Instinskyaya "Ishikawa". I am 100% Russian. The names in quotation marks are our fake names when we came to Japan trying to get away from the Soviet Union, since it was at its highest peak (in a bad way!).

When I was nine we went to Japan. Borbala was fifteen at the time and had ran away from home, nobody has seen or heard from her ever since. Sounds like a murder mystery, eh well it happens. Afanasiia was killed in a car crash. I went to the orphanage where I met my friends, and you know how it is now. The weird part is that my mother's name meant immortal. I sighed, not because I was upset (well I was with myself), but because I realized that if I didn't start going home now I'd be in huge trouble.

I turned around and started walking home at a slight faster pace than before. Amaya was part Greek, part Croatian, and part Yugoslavian. Hitoshi was part Italian, part British, and part Canadian. Avaron was German and Japanese and the twins were Italian, Native American, African, Scottish, German, and Irish. (A/N: Any others I didn't remember about the twins or Amaya?)

I was back in my room thirteen minutes before Masuyo and Akihiro would yell at me. I grabbed pajamas and started to change into them. After changing I went to sleep and waited for the next day to bloom. In the middle of the night I had woken up because I fell off of my bed, which was uncommon. Usually Maiko falls off the bed. I got up off of the floor and back into bed to continue my sleep.

After waking up for school, I decided that I wasn't wearing the uniform anymore. The dress was annoying and I couldn't stand it. Plus after listening to Kagami whine and complain about hers, it'd make you want to not wear it. Amaya walked into my room.

"Amaya, what do you think of our school uniforms?" I asked her.

"There are things I shouldn't say… you planning on not wearing it?" she replied.

"Yep" I told her. She then went to my closet and started picking things out for me. I then looked at what she picked out, a black and cream striped sweater, a velvet mini skirt that ends at the thigh and black tights. I looked at her.

"What you can wear it with sneakers" Amaya responded.

"You're joking right?"

"Of course not it'll look great on you"

"Yes but… skirts aren't my thing…"

"With tights it's better. Besides you never let me dress you up" Amaya said. I sighed then started to change. Amaya told me she needed to get ready for school and went into her bedroom. I brushed my hair and put on a dark headband to top it off. First thought of the day, I feel girly. I can't believe I'm wearing this.

"I can't believe she's wearing that" I heard Kaoru say to Hikaru as I walked by them. Great… I still feel uncomfortable around him. I sat down in my seat and waited for class to begin. Kagami sat down next to me.

"Kagami…this isn't your seat"

"Talk to Kaoru. Kyoya told me he's being weird. Also want to come to the host club with me today?"

"Kagami, you know what I think of them. And why would you talk to Kyoya? You're the one who told him my thoughts of the host club! Kagami I am ashamed, how could you tell him about man hookers?" I yelled. Some people started looking at us. The teacher walked into the classroom and Kagami went back to her desk. Kaoru sat down next to me. I was confused, and then I remembered that we were partners for the project. He had the baby with him. I grinned and waited for the teacher to start.

"Good, you have the babies… well most of you", she said eyeing Kagami and Kasanoda; "Today we're learning how to change a diaper. And before any of you groan, whine and complain, I want you to know that this is a big part of your grade, because nobody wants to have poop and pee in their clothing for a while. Got it? Good, now let's begin." Then everyone groaned. Okay…so does this baby actually poop? Oh dear lord, I don't want to feed it now. Kaoru's feeding and changing this thing.

The teacher than droned on about changing a diaper; Kagami had no problem with the assignment except that her baby's leg fell off. Then after that Kasanoda started yelling at her. Many other groups like Kaoru and I had some trouble, but I think Maiko and Hikaru had the most. Maiko was trying to get assignment done and whenever she needed help Hikaru refused to help and then they started fighting. Man…class was weird today.

It was a little strange, because Kaoru acted like nothing happened, about him kissing my cheek I mean, not the chunk of plastic going to the bathroom. Maybe I should too. Yeah I should…but maybe he is European…what am I talking about he's a Japanese citizen, wait he's a citizen right? Why I am I still thinking about this? Man I need a life.

And the greatest part is, is that at that moment my cell phone went off, playing А Может Да (Maybe Yes) by Света (Sveta). Oh crap… I thought I turned my ringer off. The teacher glared at me. Some people were confused with the language. I slowly grabbed my phone out of my pocket and turned the ringer off and put it away.

"Gomenasai" I spoke quietly. Lucky for me the bell rang. I quickly gathered my things and got out of there with Kagami and Maiko following.

"Wait up Radinka!" Kagami yelled. Yes my friends know my real name. Of course I let them catch up, one I'm wearing a skirt, two I hate running, and three their my best friends.

"So you forgot to turn your phone off" spoke Maiko. I nodded as we walked down the hall to our next class.

"That sucks…" Kagami said.

"Yes. Yes it does suck. I wonder who was calling anyway." I told them taking my phone out to check. I saw the caller ID and was confused. It said North Dakota.

"WHAT'S A DAKOTA!" Kagami screeched after seeing the caller ID.

"Shut up Kagami" Maiko and I said in unison.

"North Dakota is a state in the US. It's probably a wrong number anyway" I reassured Kagami who was confused. For someone getting straight A's she should know that.

"OH MY GOD MAIKO THIS IS NOT GOOD! THOSE CRUMMY AMERICANS ARE AFTER RIKA! MORE IMPORTANLY THEY'VE FIGURED OUT THAT I KEEP ON BOMBING THEM!"

"Kagami…you aren't the reason for World War II…" I told the idiot girl.

"Yes but I keep trying to buy parakeets from them…" she responded.

"That's a whole different story…" Maiko replied.

"And why would they be after me…" I questioned.

"Because I'm friends with you, I shouldn't have emailed everything about us to their president." Kagami said.

"YOU WHAT!" Maiko and I shouted.

"I was bored! Besides Maiko you told me to get a pen pal!"

"Yeah some lonely person outside this country, not the leader of America!"

"Hey look its lunch time!" Kagami spoke changing the conversation so Maiko can stop yelling at her. Why does Kagami always use lunch time as a distraction? I sighed then proceeded to the cafeteria. Man today was really weird. I'm never letting Amaya dress me up again.
