Chapter 4:
Third Person Pov
The next day, Kaoru and Hikaru were walking to morning class. They were still really tired about what happened yesterday, especially when they arrived at the Host Club. Kyoya had given them a whole speech about how 'getting to their club on time is the road to success for your future' and some other crap, but naturally they weren't paying attention. Mostly during the whole speech they were just thinking about what had happened yesterday with the girls they had met. The red-heads had spent so much time thinking about the girls that they didn't get much sleep.
"Kaoru, Hikaru-kun! Good morning!" yelled Tamaki.
They slowly turned their heads around and growled.
"Eek! That's no way to greet your friend," he pouted.
"Sorry, we just didn't get much sleep yesterday," said Hikaru.
"Oh I see. You did have a rough afternoon. But I guess it's your guys' fault for ditching your class and us yesterday."
smiled Tamaki.
They growled and continued up the stairs to their classroom.
"By the way, Tamaki, did your Dad by chance admit two new students to the academy?" asked Kaoru.
"Uhh I don't know. Since families are constantly moving around though, It's not rare that the academy accepts students even when the semester has already started."
"Ah ok," they said as they waved to Tamaki.
"See you at the Host Club! And don't be late this time, or Kyoya might actually punish you guys this time! He was being nice yesterday y'know!" shouted Tamaki as he ran to his class.
"That's nice?" thought the brothers.Hikaru and Kaoru arrived at their classroom and set their possessions down on their desks.
-Growl-
"What was that?" asked Hikaru.
"Um...I'm guessing that was my stomach…" said Kaorurubbing his tummy.
"See? I toldyou that watching House in the morning and skipping breakfast would be a bad idea. C'mon I'll buy you something from the lounge."
-5 minutes later-
"No! Damn thing stole my dollar! I demand that this machine give me my double chocolate chip cookie!" shouted Hikaru.
"Hikaru... It's just a cookie. I'll just get something to eat later. C'mon or we'll be late!" said Kaoru, pulling on Hikaru's shoulder.
"No! My cookie! I left my wallet in class so I can't get you another one! And I don't want my adorable brother to starve!" he said reaching for the machine.
"Move!" they heard someone shout.
A person with a black and white striped sweater ran through the lounge, their brown long wavy hair flowing behind them. Not far behind that person was a group of senior guys. The person was running pretty fast and tripped on her feet when they approached us.
"Wah!" they said, banging into the vending machine.
They regained her focus and ran up the stairs to the second floor.
"What was that?" asked Hikaru.
"Hmm...I feel like I've seen this somewhere before..." said Kaoru tilting and scratching his head.
-Clunk-
"Ah! My cookie! Or well, your cookie!" said Hikaru as he snatched the cookie from the machine and handed it to Kaoru.
"Um… Thanks...But we're late to class now because of this cookie." said Kaoru running upstairs.
Their first class was on the fourth floor of the school building. When they arrived, they were both out of breath.
"Sorry we're late!" they exclaimed, bursting into the classroom.
"Boys, next time come in from the back entrance, and more quietly please! You've interrupted the Natashimas' introduction!" scolded the balding teacher.
"Introduction?" they inquired as they looked at each other, then to the front of the room.
There were two girls standing at the front of the room. Both had waist long brown hair, clear glasses, and light skin. They were wearing what seemed like the girls' pastel yellow puffy dress, but totally differently. The bottom of the dress had been shortened to above their knees, and the puffy arm sleeves and collar had been removed and replaced with straps. They also weren't wearing the school required shoes and socks, but some glossy black high heels instead.
One of the girls was also carrying a black and white striped sweater in her hand, while the other one had on a silver bow clipped on the side of her head.
"Ah, I remember now! You're the girl from yesterday who was running away from those guys!" cried Kaoru.
"And you're the girl I met in the rose maze yesterday!" shouted Hikaru.
The girls both turned to look at the twins.
"Oh," the girls said. They looked at each other for a second and smiled. They walked over to the Hitachiin brothers and put their arms around each of the boys' shoulders.
"I'm Kaitlyn Natashima," introduced the girl with the silver bow.
"And I'm Ayumi Natashima," said the other girl.
"We're half Japanese and half Spaniard-" said Kaitlyn to the class.
"-And obviously as you can see were sisters, twins to be exact," said Ayumi, finishing Kaitlyn's sentence, just like any typical twin would do.
"Please take good care of us, darlings," they said, winking and blowing a kiss at the class.
The rest of the class cried out and squirmed in their seats. They weren't used to seeing such flirtatious acts at the front of the room. Usually all that was presented there were dry, boring talks by their Sensei.
"So Sensei, where are our seats?" asked Kaitlyn.
"I like sitting in the back, Sensei. Mind seating me there?" said Ayumi, glaring at the teacher while still smiling. She was obviously asking the teacher, but no one would doubt who held the power when confronted with the icy tone in her voice, and her equally cold glare.
"Of-of course. You both can take the back seats in the middle row, and you may obviously sit next to your sister," the teacher stuttered slightly.
"Really? Thanks, Sensei," gratified Kaitlyn as she let go of Hikaru.
"It just had to be another set of twins…" mumbled the teacher.
"What was that?" turned Ayumi to the teacher.
"No-nothing…boys you go take a seat too!" he instructed the Hitachiins brothers.
They sat at their separate seats and watched as the two girls walked to the back seats in the middle row, but before they arrived, the two guys that sat next to them stood up.
"Oh, um, if you want, you can take our seats. One of them is by the window so you can look out of it," the boys offered, slightly blushing.
"Cool, thanks," said Ayumi, touching the guy's shoulder and sitting on the seat by the window.
-Ring-
Kaoru Pov
"Ahh…" I said, standing up and stretching. I took the cookie that Hikaru had so desperately gotten me and unwrapped it.
"What are you doing?" asked Hikaru.
"Um….eating my double chocolate chip cookie?" I replied.
"No time for that! The Natashima sisters are right behind us. Weren't you saying how much we wished that we could talk to them again?"
"But I'm hungry! What happened to not wanting your adorable brother to starve!" I said reluctantly standing up.
The Natashima sisters were still sitting at their desks. Kaitlyn was digging in her backpack while Ayumi took out a small leather bag.
"Hey!" said Hikaru as he leaned against Kaitlyn's neighboring desk.
"Oh! Hi there...uh what was your name again? she said biting bottom her lip.
"I'm Hikaru. And this is my twin brother Ka-"
"Kaoru right?" said Ayumi.
She was unwrapping a stick of gum that she had taken out from the small bag.
"Yeah. You remembered."
"Heh yeah. I'd remember that face of the guy who invited me out for some entertainment. "she said smiling.
"Entertainment?" asked Hikaru and Kaitlyn.
"Oh! Yeah I invited her to come with us at the Host Club sometime. I'm going to the club today, do you want to come? We can get to know each other there." I said.
"Sure. That sounds good. Mind if I bring my adorable sister with me?" she asked.
"Ehh one chan~" smiled Kaitlyn a little embarrassed.
"Sure. We'll introduce you to the other guys there too." said Kaoru.
"Okay then, can't wait." smiled Ayumi.
-After school-
"Hey guys!" we said pushing the doors open.
"Hi Kaoru, Hikaru!" said Honey looking up from the plate if strawberry cake he was devouring.
"You two seem to be in a good mood." said Tamaki.
"Well we found out who those girls from yesterday were." said Hikaru.
"You mean the ones that made you late yesterday?" said Kyoya.
"Yeah them." we said.
"Natashima? I think I've heard that name before..." said Kyoya to himself as he left the room and went into his office.
"We invited them to come by the club this afternoon." said Hikaru.
"So tell me. How are these lovely ladies like?" asked Tamaki as he glided over to the velvet red couch.
"Well..."
We were about to go on describing them, but then Kyoya came out.
"Hikari, Kaoru. You guys owe us for not coming in yesterday. So you'll be serving twice as many customers today.
"Whaaat! But the Nata-"
"No but's. Since they made you late yesterday. I think they can afford to wait until you're done to play with you."
-Ring-
"Kaoru kun~! You look a little distracted. Are we boring you~!?" said one of the girls sadly.
"Eh- no not at all." I stuttered.
"Oh he's just a little tired. You see he didn't get much sleep yesterday because I was playing with him all night and kept him up. But I'll make sure that tonight after our bath together, we'll sleep very comfortable next to each other."
"Ehh! Kaoru and Hikaru kun don't sleep separately?" the girls asked.
"Of course not. If we slept separately how would Hikaru be able to hold me in his arms and comfort me when I get nightmares!" I teased.
"Ah oh my!" they blushed.
"Nice one. But why are you distracted. You know our customers are the priority right now whether we have something else to do or not." whispered Hikaru.
"Yeah I know. I was just checking to see if the twins were here yet."
"Don't worry. I'm sure we will be able to see them soon."
-Ayumi's POV-
"Hey nee-chan, I found the room." said Kaitlyn stopping at a door.
"Oh, so it is the building right across from ours." I said looking out the window.
"Here we go then." I said grabbing one of the door handles.
"Yep." I said grabbing the other.
We opened the door and stepped inside only to be welcomed by the scent of roses.
"Mmm what a nice aroma." I smiled sniffing around the air.
"Irashaimase!" smiled a short blonde haired child approaching us.
He was about the size of a grade schooler, maybe slight taller, holding a cute baby pink rabbit in his arms.
"Oh um hello there! What's your name little boy?" said Kaitlyn crouching down to be even with his height.
"You're Haninouzka aren't you?" I said crouching down as well next to my siser. "No no! Only Takashi calls me that! I'd prefer it if you called me Honey though!"
"Takashi?"
"Yeah Taka chan!" he smiled pointed over him.
We looked up to see a very tall bulk person with black hair and eyes above us.
"Hello. I'm Morinozuka Takashi" He said in a deep voice.
"H-Hello there." We said back.
"Uwaa, twins! We haven't seen you around here. Is this your first time coming?" said Honey kun climbing up Morinozuka kuns leg.
"Yeah it is. Actually we're looking for Hikaru and Kaoru kun." I said to them.
"Ah Hika and Kao chan are with other customers right now! But we could attend you right now if you'd like onee chans~!" he said in a little boys voice.
"Ehh lemme ask my sis-"
"Ayumi isn't he so adorable!" giggled Kaitlyn hugging the adorable child and pressing her cheek against his.
"Of course we'll sit with you guys!" she smiled grabbing his small hand as he walked her over to a couch to sit on at the side of the room.
She sat on the couch and sat Honey kun on her lap, and I sat across from her on the other couch with Morinozuka kun. He was a quiet guy who just sat beside and sat perfectly still, like a statue. Occasionally he would move his eyes to follow Honey kuns every movement.
I scooted a little closer to him and put my hand next to his, but he didn't even notice. His eyes were fixated on the blonde now messy haired child due to Kaitlyn's constant hair ruffling him. Kaitlyn was busy playing with him, her cheeks slightly pink. How could she like children, they're just so…ew. But I guess Honey wasn't really a child.
"So Honey kun. How old are you? Is your big brother the blonde guy sitting over there?" she said pointing behind me.
I turned to see a blonde man seated with two other girls at his sides. He was drinking tea in a very elegant manner and chuckling every so often. Not a movement he made looked out of place. His blonde hair swished with every movement he made and his smile was as beautiful as his violet eyes.
"That must be the prince…" I thought.
"No no that's not Honey's brother. That's Tama chan. He's the one who formed the host club!" he giggled.
"Bingo~" I smirked.
After that Mori went and brought us cake. Kaitlyn and Honey both grabbed a slice or strawberry shortcake and I grabbed a slice of Swiss chocolate cake.
"Aren't you going to have a slice Morinozuka san?" I asked.
"No I don't really like sweet food." He replied in his deep voice.
"Ah I see…" I said sticking a bite of cake into my mouth.
A few minutes later, after Kaitlyn practically fed the whole entire cake to Honey,(who ate most of it) he fell asleep on her lap.
"Usa chan~" he mumbled.
"Usa Chan? The bunny?"
Morinozuka stood up and walked over to Kaitlyn.
"I'll take him."
"That's fine. I don't think sleeping on my lap is quite comfortable anyways." smiled Kaitlyn.
Morinozuka picked up Honey from Kaitlyn's lap and turned to us.
"Thank you for coming. Im sorry is we caused trouble." He apologized bowing. Not that he was the one that fell asleep during the designation.
"Oh no not at all. Besides I think she enjoyed it very much." I said pointing over to Kaitlyn who looked slightly sad that Honey kun was being taken from her.
"Thank you for your company." I smiled cutely at him.
He nodded and turned around.
"Tch. Not even a twitch." I pouted defeated after he left.
"Isn't Honey kun really sweet! He's like an adorable little grade schooler! I wonder whose little brother he is?" said Kaitlyn sitting up.
"He's not as little as he looks y'know." I said sipping some tea from the porcelain blue floral teacup.
"Why do you say that? Actually, how did you know Honey's real name if we barely met him today?"
"I did some research I guess. We need to know a little about our competition don't we?" I said as I set the teacup and plate down.
"Onee chan…"
"What? I bet they're going to do the same as well. Although I doubt they'll find anything." I snickered.
"Well that doesn't matter right now. We came to see the Hitachiin twins, yet they're busy."
"But we got to meet Honey and Mori Kun!" smiled Kaitlyn clasping her hands in front of her.
"Yeah I guess you're right."
"So anyways…, when are the girls coming?" she asked.
"I asked Jason yesterday and he said they would start two days from then. So they should be arriving tomorrow." I replied looking over at Kaitlyn to see her distracted.
"Hey did you hear me?"
"Eh! Sorry I didn't ~ But onee chan look It's the twins!" said Kaitlyn pointing to the right of me.
I turned around to see Hikaru grasping Kaoru's face in his hands and lean in close to him. From where I was sitting, I could very slightly see the blushing cheeks of the girls they were attending.
"Oh my!" giggled Kaitlyn setting the empty tea cup down on the table.
"Hmm. Twin affection huh? Pfft we could do that." I scoffed taking another sip of tea.
"Hmm…" I frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"My tea has gotten cold."
"Shall we go then?" smiled Kaitlyn standing up.
"Sure." I said following out the door, leaving behind an empty and half empty tea cup.
