February 3rd 12pm (lunch time)
The bell had just rung and it was time for lunch. Everybody left the classroom to go to the cafeteria…that was strange, usually some people stay in the classroom for a little bit then go, not leave right away. The only people left in the classroom were Momoka and Mizuki. Mizuki was felt a little weak from the lack of sleep last night and felt a little off. There were also other things that went on…
Throughout the teacher's lecture, Mizuki kept hearing things … not behind her or in front of her … they sounded like they were coming from below her, literally right below her. It was distracting her from taking notes and it too much for her to pay attention in class. Luckily for her, Momoka took all the notes and was attentive the whole time, so she was able to explain the lessons of that day. During class, Momoka noticed that Mizuki kept touching her head she even blocked her ears at one point…
Momoka: "Mizuki. Why did you block your ears during class today?
Were you trying to block out the teacher's lecture?"
Mizuki: "No it's not that, it's just…it was something else."
Mizuki didn't know how to explain the things she kept hearing. Even if she found a way to explain it to Momoka, she would just sound crazy and her friend would tell Haruto.
Mizuki just finished copying down all the notes and they both headed out for the cafeteria…
Mizuki's POV:
…ugh what's going on? First the images and now the voices…maybe I really do need to go see a "Mizuki!"
Mizuki: "What? What's wrong?"
Momoka was pointing at Mizuki's shoulder, and looked like she was seeing something very horrifying.
Momoka: "T-there…y-you have…"
Mizuki: "Have what?"
Momoka: "A s-s-spi-" (Faints)
Mizuki: "huh?"
Mizuki looked to see what Momoka was getting at. Surely enough she looked to see what was on her right shoulder and saw a daddy long-leg. She didn't understand why Momoka fainted…maybe she had arachnophobia. Mizuki just stretched out her hand and let the spider crawl unto her palm. Mizuki walked towards a window, opened it and let the spider crawl out…
Mizuki: "There you go."
Mizuki then remember that Momoka fainted in the middle of the hallway and before she was able to even turn around, she heard another girl screaming.
Mizuki's POV:
Why is someone screaming? (Turns around) Oh…-_-! That's why?
Mizuki walked up to the girl who was screaming and told her that Momoka was okay. Then Mizuki got down onto the floor and was trying to get her to wake up.
Momoka: "W-what happened?" (Gets up and stands up with Mizuki's help.)
Mizuki felt that Momoka was unstable from fainting from seeing a spider, she didn't want to say the s-word so she just said, "You fell backwards and hit your head on the floor and black-out." Well that was the truth…in a way. Momoka looked confused because she wasn't clumsy.
Mizuki: "Well anyways, let's just go get our lunch and eat."
Mizuki turned around, but when she did, she slammed into somebody and fell to the ground. (Does she like running into people or something?)
Momoka: "Mizuki!" (Helps Mizuki up.)
Mizuki: "Ow…" (Gets up)
From a distance, Mizuki saw six boys running towards the girl in front of her…
Mizuki's POV:
Wait… (Looks at the person in front of her.) This person is wearing a male's uniform…"Haruhi!"
The boys who were running towards their direction just arrived at their destination and were asking the person if she was alright…
Mizuki's POV:
If this person is a male…no wait…my senses tell me that this person is a she, not a he…then why is she wearing a male's uniform? Also, from the looks of it…the host club is also treating her as if she is a girl…
After the male blonde dusted off the Haruhi girl…boy…whichever, Mizuki smiled at Haruhi and apologized.
Mizuki: "I'm sorry I turned around so suddenly. I didn't know you were running so fast."
Haruhi's POV:
Why is this girl apologizing? It was my fault we bumped into each other.
Haruhi: "No, no I'm sorry; I didn't really pay attention to where I was going. I heard screaming and ran down here as fast as I can."
Mizuki: "Well…"
Mizuki at this point was a little embarrassed for the girl who screamed. She didn't know why, but the girl who screamed looked like…she had hearts in her eyes?
Mizuki: "This girl over here behind me,
she screamed when she saw Momoka-Chan on the floor.
She must have thought that Momoka-Chan was dead or something."
Random girl: "Oh my gosh!
I can't believe the host club is here! And all of them too!"
Mizuki was confused; they were the host club members? Mizuki looked at them again and couldn't believe that the girls were going crazy over these loonies. Over the years, Mizuki saw them at meetings, playing outside and well around school. She saw them with the girl in front of her a couple of times in the hallway and well, they weren't as calm as they looked right now, so she really couldn't believe her eyes.
Mizuki: "Momoka-Chan, are these the gentlemen you keep talking about?"
Tamaki: "You talk about us with your friends?"
Momoka: "Well of course.
As a loyal guest, I have a duty to tell the world of your existence."
Mizuki's POV:
=_=! This girl… she really does love the host club…
Mizuki noticed that Hikaru and Kaoru were in the mix and it surprised her because she and the twins used to be good friends when they were younger…
Mizuki: "Hikaru? Kaoru? You two are in the host club?"
H&K: "Huh?"
Mizuki: "It's okay if you don't remember. It has been a long time."
H&K: "MIZUKI!"
Mizuki was only able to smile at their "discovery." They were always pretty slow at figuring at who was who.
Mizuki: "I'm in your class…I think. 1-A right?"
H&K: "Yeah, but how come we never noticed you?"
Mizuki: "That's because you two are always with Fujioka-kun."
H&K: "Oh…sorry."
Mizuki: "It's alright, no harm done."
Then she remembered she promised to meet Haruto in front of the school building during lunchtime…
Mizuki: "I'm sorry I stood in your way and it's nice to meet
the host club in person, but I have to go now.
(Faces Momoka) Momoka-Chan, you can stay if you want,
I have to meet somebody."
Momoka: "Right now?"
Mizuki only wanted to get away from the group. It was weird and felt awkward, but it was interesting that Hikaru and Kaoru were in the group as well.
Mizuki: (turns to leave) "I'll see you later." (Hurries away.)
Momoka: "That was weird…she's usually not like this."
Later during class…
Momoka saw that Mizuki was blocking her ears again…but this time, Mizuki looked like she was in pain. Momoka was worried…she raised her hand and called for the teacher.
Momoka: "Sensei."
The teacher only kept lecturing and writing things on the board. Momoka was about to panic now and kept calling for the teacher.
Momoka: "Sensei!"
It didn't seem like the teacher hear her this time either. Momoka was able to cry, she didn't want anything to happen to her best friend. Momoka knew that Hikaru and Kaoru were good friends with Mizuki, but they sat all the way in the back part of the classroom. She couldn't just get up and walk, so this time, she made sure the teacher was going to hear her.
Momoka: "SENSEI!"
The whole entire class looked at her, even the teacher who was looked at her weirdly. By this time, Kaoru noticed Mizuki looked extremely pale and in pain…
Kaoru: "Mizuki!"
Now the whole entire class was looking at Mizuki, who was trembling. She looked like she was scared to death. Hikaru and Kaoru got up from their seats and rushed towards Mizuki. Right when the twins got to Mizuki's desk, Mizuki fainted and was falling out of her seat. Kaoru caught her and supported her, so she wouldn't fall off. Everybody started whispering, some worrying and many wondering what was going on. During the chaos, the teacher went and got the nurse who came in with two paramedics with a portable carry-on stretcher. The medics put Mizuki on a stretcher and hurried out the door.
Sensei: "Does anybody know Mizuki's close relatives?"
Hikaru and Kaoru knew Mizuki's secret, she didn't have a guardian or a parent … they all passed away, but her mother who was on a trip with their mother for the week.
H&K: (Raises their hand) "We know who to contact!"
Sensei: "Okay, go with the medics. Hurry!"
Hikaru and Kaoru quickly ran out the door and followed the medics into the ambulance who were driving to the emergency room. Coincidentally, it started to rain when they were in the ambulance. Hikaru and Kaoru were scared for their old friend, besides Haruhi, they knew Mizuki was the only other person who was able to tell them apart.
Hikaru's POV:
The reason I was so amazed when Haruhi was able to keep telling Kaoru and I apart was because Mizuki was the only other person I remembered who knew how to tell us apart…
Kaoru's POV:
I used to have a crush on Mizuki in elementary school. I think the reason was because she was the only other person who was able to tell me and my brother apart. Then when Haruhi came into our world, she reminded me so much of Mizuki I ended up having a crush on her.
The twins were thinking of what happened and what could happen. In the ambulance, the medics were checking Mizuki's vital signs and trying to calm her down. Hikaru and Kaoru were thinking how it was unfair that they just met Mizuki and now she was going to be taken away from them again. Kaoru grabbed Hikaru's hand and Hikaru grabbed Kaoru's hand.
Back at class 1-A everybody calmed down and the teacher went on with the lecture. Momoka was having a hard time concentrating. Right when she was about to break down, the bell rang, notifying the students and teachers that school was over. Throughout class, Haruhi took notes carefully for Hikaru and Kaoru later…maybe even the Mizuki girl.
Haruhi gathered her books and sighed. It was a crazy day and she needed to rest, it felt as if the whole situation with Mizuki had put a toll on her body too. Right when Haruhi was about to leave, she noticed that everybody left except for Momoka. Momoka was slumped over her desk…sniffling. Haruhi made her way to Momoka, in front of the classroom and looked.
Haruhi: "Momoka-Chan?"
Haruhi bent her knees so she can talk to Momoka eye-to-eye, but she found Momoka crying in pain. Usually, Momoka was so gentle and happy all the time…but seeing her like this, it seemed like she was looking at a whole different person…
Haruhi: "Momoka-Chan. Are you really worried about Hotaru-san?"
Momoka: "H-Haruhi-kun."
Momoka sat up straight, wiped her tears and looked Haruhi straight in the eye. Haruhi was startled, but she also looked Momoka in the eyes.
Haruhi: "Yes?"
Momoka: "Do you think Mizuki is going to be okay?"
Haruhi didn't know how to answer her question. Earlier, Mizuki looked extremely pale and looked like she was going to die…but for Momoka's sake, she wanted to help her feel better.
Haruhi: (smile) "I'm sure Hotaru-San is doing great right now. I bet she is in a room resting with Hikaru and Kaoru watching her."
Momoka felt confident in Haruhi's answers, so she wiped her tears and smiled brightly. Now that was the Momoka that Haruhi knew.
Momoka: "Thank you, Haruhi-kun." (Gets up.) "Why don't we walk to the host club room together? I'm going there too."
Haruhi: "Why not?" (smile) "Let's go together."
The two left the empty classroom and made their way towards the music room.
In the host club room…Haruhi and Momoka finally made but to find the host club not in session.
Haruhi: "That's weird. I was confident that we were open today."
Haruhi opened the doors and found the host club gathered sitting where the couches were. Every one of them serious…in a way.
Haruhi: "What's going on?"
Tamaki: "Haruhi!"
Haruhi: "What?"
Tamaki was only babbling on about a girl and situation and blah blah blah. Haruhi couldn't understand what he was saying. Tamaki was talking words in a jumble. Kyoya finally stepped in and told Haruhi what was going on.
Haruhi: "Wait, so you're telling me that Hikaru and Kaoru called you saying that they're not coming to school for the next few days?"
Honey: "Hika-Chan and Kao-Chan must be really worried about that girl, huh takashi?"
Mori: "Yeah."
Haruhi was confused to why, but she did understand that until Hikaru and Kaoru came back, the host club would be closed.
Back at the hospital…
Mizuki was sitting up in her bed talking to Hikaru and Kaoru. She couldn't remember a thing that happened during class. All she remember was that she was taking notes in one minute and woke up to find herself in the hospital in the next. Hikaru and Kaoru explained to her what happened and Mizuki was kind of shocked…
Mizuki: "…I think I remember."
She was lying of course. She remembered everything that happened, not in life but in her … vision? Dream? She didn't know what to call it. She knew it wasn't a dream, but it also wasn't like a vision. What was it?
Kaoru: "did you donate your blood or something?"
Mizuki laughed because she remembered Hikaru and Kaoru getting their blood drawn. Kaoru was fine afterwards, but Hikaru fainted. Hikaru wasn't afraid of needles or blood. He just felt lightheaded and then fainted.
The weird thing was…when she fainted, Mizuki knew that she saw things, she even heard things out of this world…but couldn't remember anything.
Mizuki: (smile) "No." (frown) "…something else…I don't know what… but something happened and then…then…I'm sorry. I don't remember anything."
Kaoru: "It's fine. We're just glad you're doing alright."
Mizuki smiled and was glad herself she was doing better.
Hikaru: "Kaoru and I decided to"
Kaoru: "Stay here until you are released from this hospital."
Mizuki was confused to why they would.
Mizuki: (Smile) "Thank you for your concern. But I'm not going to die."
Hikaru and Kaoru smiled. They of course knew that, but they couldn't help but wanting to stay.
Hikaru: "We're going to stay."
Kaoru: "Yeah, we know that you don't have anybody else to look after you."
Mizuki was now extremely confused…nobody to after her? She had her brothers…
Mizuki: "Guys I have-"
Kei: "Mizuki! Are you okay? I heard what happened and rushed here to see how you were doing…so, how are you doing?"
Mizuki laughed, her brother, no matter how serious always said something funny. Other people might not find things funny, but Mizuki did.
Mizuki: "I'm fine as you can see. I was just going to tell Hikaru and Kaoru that I had you and Haruto-Nii to look after me if I was sick."
Hikaru: "Kei? Is that you?"
Kaoru: "What are you doing here?"
Kei was confused. He was her brother….that was why he was here…
Kei: "I'm her brother? Need a better reason?"
H&K: "Yes."
Hikaru and Kaoru were suspicious of him, in their own way. They knew things Mizuki didn't know and were in a way too surprised to tell her.
Mizuki's POV:
Why does Hikaru and Kaoru look surprised?
Right when she was about to tell the twins to calm down, she heard children laughing and running around the bed beside hers. Because there was a curtain between the two beds, Mizuki ignored thinking that the patient beside her would do something. She turned her head to the right, facing the curtain.
Kei: "Miki-Chan? Are you okay?"
Mizuki: "Yeah…I just thought I heard…"
Kei: "Heard what?"
Mizuki: "Children laughing and running around…"
Kaoru: "What are you talking about?"
Hikaru: "There are no children in the bed beside you."
Kei: "There isn't even a patient in the bed."
Mizuki was scared now while the three boys were confused.
Mizuki's POV:
What is going on? Why am I the only one able to hear the children? (Grabs her head) I can hear them laughing in joy…but they're hurting my ears. (Falls onto her side of the bed.) Hikaru and Kaoru, I can hear them yelling my name…Kei, I can hear him calling for a nurse… First a guard yelling at a traitor at school, now children laughing in the hospital… but the children laughing…no…this sounds like a laugh…but I can tell it isn't…ugh, my head. … (Faints)
