A/N Hey! I've sort of lost track of who's who so I'll just say thanks to everyone here. I'llxBexUrxEnigma, lilypop8, iKawaiiAishiteru, AnkeaEnkeli, JustABlackRose, miki725, AngelHost19, avamaleki, whatacatch'Donnie, Amaury, GreyLily, and of course akinaxxx, thanks for continuing to read my story! Big hugs to you all because I can't afford anymore stuff to give away!
In this chapter I introduce (dun dun dunnnnnnnn) rivalry! Although rivalry sometimes comes in strange forms… whatever. I was bored and hungry and a bit delusional when I wrote this, so don't blame me if it gets too weird!
I wonder if anyone actually bothers to read this =.=…
Disclaimer: la la la ( I bet no one reads this either)
Chapter 4
"Welcome back, cutie!" I ran toward Kyouya and hugged him. "Hmm?" I felt something bumpy underneath my arms. I took my arms away and stared at two big brown eyes. Someone was hugging Kyouya protectively and giving me the death glare.
"Who the hell are YOU?!" We said unanimously.
"I'm a student of this school!"
"I'm an animation filmmaker!"
"Then what are you doing here?"
"None of your business! Now get off my Kyouya!"
"YOUR Kyouya? He's MINE."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. I'm better for him anyways, so back off."
"How so?"
"I'm short, I'm cute, and I have big eyes! Do you have any of those traits?"
"Well I may be tall and normal-looking but I have something you could never have!"
"What would that be?"
"I'm a girl!"
He kept his grip on Kyouya and glared at me. "I am way more feminine!"
"That doesn't change the fact that you're a guy!" I snapped my fingers. "Oh snap!"
"Oh no you didn't! Don't you 'oh snap' me!" He snapped in a Z formation.
"Can. You. Please. Get. Off. Me." Kyouya forced out.
"Fine!" He huffed. Then he turned to me. "I bet I know your whole story! You came here for something stupid and fell in love with Kyouya because he did a bunch of heroic deeds! You haven't even said your feelings yet!" He smirked. "I'm one step ahead of you! I saw him in the hallway and confessed right away!" Crossing his arms, he did the eyebrow thing. "Burn."
"Too bad." I grinned cockily. "I've known him for 10 years, and have told hi I loved him 94890 times." I turned around. "Kyouya, I love you!" Turning back, I put my hands on my hips. "Take that! 94891! And as of yesterday, we had our 17th major fight! Ha!" I stuck out my tongue.
"Shut up, already. What's your name?" He snarled.
"Tell me yours first."
"Ryoka Natsu!" "Ryoka Kiyo!" We spat out at the same time.
"Wait…what?!" Staring at each other, our mouths dropped open.
"*#&&#$*&*&$^!" He started swearing.
"Mom? Who the hell is Ryoka Natsu?" I yelled into my phone.
"Your cousin, dear. He's a year older and lives in Japan. Why?"
"*#&&#$*&*&$^!"
"They really are alike…" Hikaru muttered to Kaoru.
"Yeah, even the asterisks for the swears are the same." Kaoru replied.
"No, the authoress just copied and pasted it…" Haruhi sighed.
"SHUT UP! WE'RE HAVING A FAMILY BONDING MOMENT!" Us cousins shouted.
"So, cousin… I guess we're rivals now." I stared at the baby-faced senior.
"Che. We can't be rivals if there's no competition in the first place, ugly."
"You mean I don't even have a chance?"
"Duh."
"That's not what a high school senior is supposed to say!"
"He's a high school senior?" The twins burst out.
"Why are you surprised? He's a senior too, right?" I pointed at Hunny, who hadn't the slightest clue what we were talking about. Cake was all that mattered, and everything else he didn't need to bother about.
"Oh, yeah." The twins went to play with Haruhi.
"Anyways, Natsu…" He was gone. I looked around. There was Kyouya, sitting in his chair typing away, like normal. With the exception of having Natsu gripping onto his waist.
"What are you doing?" I tried to rip him off. Kyouya went on typing.
"Stop dragging me, ugly!"
"Stop calling me ugly, homo!"
"Ugly!"
"Homo!"
"Ugly Witch!"
"Glasses-fetish Homo!"
"Stupid Ugly Witch!"
"Baby-faced Glasses-fetish Homo!"
"Both of you just shut up." Kyouya stood up and pried Natsu off his waist. He had on the most evil aura I had seen so far. "Let me make two things clear. I'm not gay. That doesn't mean I like you, either." He pointed at me. "Also, I absolutely hate. Hate. Idiots who can't see that someone is WORKING!" His voice rose and we were thrown across the room.
I landed on the ground, and Natsu came flying onto my leg.
"OW!" We cried, me rubbing my leg, him rubbing his back.
"What is your leg made out of? Metal?"
"As a matter of fact, yes it is."
"What does that mean?" I quickly slid my leg out of his hands and stood up.
"Never mind." Helping him up, I smiled.
"What's that stupid grin for?" He looked disgusted.
"You really are feminine…" He punched my shoulder.
"Damn, for a baby-face you have a pretty hard punch…" I frowned.
"Don't underestimate me, cousin."
"Geez, that sounds so cheesy. I'm going to the infirmary." Waving goodbye, I blew a kiss at Kyouya. "I love you!" I stopped. "94892 times!"
I closed the door as I heard swearing. Walking along the empty hallways, I slowed my pace. Maybe some guy would pop out and fall in love with me too, and then Kyouya would get jealous. Giggling at the thought, I saw a student out of the corner of my eye. He didn't look bad, but Kyouya was better of course. Giving him my best smile, I walked past him swiftly.
Never heard from him again. Damn. I'm just not good at this kind of stuff. After all, I've never had a boyfriend even thought I was 17. I did have my first kiss, but it was stolen after I was caught under the mistletoe with some guy from college.
If only he would appear again and be totally in love with me… I sighed as I pressed ice to my shoulder. Come to think of it, didn't he plan to study abroad? I thought back to our conversations.
"Kiyo-chan?" I vaguely recognized the voice. Slowly turning my head around, I prayed.
"Hi, Kiyo!" It was a girl. I have the best luck.
"Um…" I mumbled, not knowing who she was.
"Oh, I'm Hanamura, remember?" She laughed. "I dyed my hair."
"Yeah, it looks nice. It's been a while." She had been my roommate, we didn't go to the same college but we had shared the rent in a small apartment. She had been really nice and my best friend during college days.
"What are you doing here?" She sat beside me on a chair.
"Oh, I'm doing a film for the Host Club. You?"
"I'm the school nurse."
"That's right, you went to nursing college!"
"You have a pretty bad memory, Kiyo-chan…" She smiled.
"Sorry, but my mind's pretty messed up right now." I smiled weakly.
"Yeah, that's okay."
"Hanamura, do you have a boyfriend?"
"W-w-well," She went bright red and showed me her hand.
"You're married! That's awesome!" I laughed at her redness.
"Y-yeah, I met this guy, and coincidently his name was Hanemura, and we just connected." She stuttered and blushed.
"That's so cute! How many years?"
"1 and a half." I hugged her.
"I'm so jealous. The guy I like hasn't connected with me at all." I laughed.
"Don't worry; there are plenty of fish in the sea, Kiyo."
"Hey! Don't make it sound like I'm going to fail!" I swatted her arm. "And for your information, I am looking for men, not fish."
"Okay, okay." We talked for a bit and we shared our stories and giggled like every 5 minutes. Finally I stood up and took my leave. Walking down that empty hallway again, I felt a little alone. Everyone had someone, and suddenly I got a horrible sinking feeling that mine wasn't Kyouya.
"Geez, are you jealous of Natsu?" I asked myself. I already knew the answer. Damn right I was! The little homo had more girly charm than I did! I was in danger of losing my first love… to a guy!
It hit me like a block. Actually, I bumped into a wall, but nevertheless a thought came running into my head. Kyouya had stated he wasn't gay. But maybe he just didn't want to admit it in front of everyone. Or maybe he just said it to shut us up.
My mind was spinning. I stopped outside the door. When I opened this door, I might see the sight of Kyouya and Natsu being all lovey-dovey. The thought gave me the shivers. Opening the door a crack, I strained to hear something.
"Kyaaaa! Haruhi looks so cute in a bunny suit!"
Shutting the door, I blinked. What?
