Kagome sighed as she walked out of Ouran, proceeding down the vast amount of steps. The past hour had been somewhat eventful. The twins pestered Tamaki a bit, or at least whenever he became sad—which happened a lot, it seemed. Mori was silent, something she came to know as being a regular occurrence, and Hunny was adorable. Smiling, the young miko couldn't help but giggle at the thought of the young looking senior—he was just so cute! Haruhi was very polite, and from being around the twins and Tamaki, Kagome wondered how she did it.
Oh yeah, Kagome had realized Haruhi was a girl, as well. Yes, she could read auras, but not that well. Her training in the Feudal Era had only been a bit, and although she learned a range of a different fighting style and miko abilities, auras were something she was still working on. Despite the small bit of information she knew on how to read someone's own aura, Kagome had come to knowledge of Haruhi's gender after much concentration.
Sighing, Kagome only wished her knowledge of reading auras was much better, for then she might have had somewhat of a chance to tell the twins apart. Alas, that was not the case, for the miko would need more practice to earn that skill, but even if she did Kagome wouldn't put it pass the twins to know some way to switch auras; no matter how impossible it was.
Despite all that she had observed that afternoon, Kagome couldn't really decide on joining yet. The Club would be fun, no doubt, and her afternoons were somewhat boring— at least when nobody in her family needed she— but she couldn't get the thought of Kyouya out of her mind. He did seem to want her in the Club, but, at other time's he was a real jerk. 'Like a cross between Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, more like it,' Kagome thought, 'Well, if I made through it with them two and didn't kill either one of them, Kyouya shouldn't be too much of a problem…'
And yet, she couldn't get her mind around the concept of spending so much time around the man. Sure, he'd pester her if she didn't join, but what if she did? After 'giving in' what else would she be expected to do, at the whim of his word? Kagome let out a frustrated sigh. Life was too complicated, for her tastes.
Rounding a corner, the miko was still lost in thought when she ran into someone, "Ah, I'm sorry," she bowed, apologizing.
"It's alright," The other person looked up, "Kagome?"
Lifting her head up, and turning back to her normal stance, Kagome replied, "Senri?"
"Hey, where you headed?" The dirty-blonde headed girl asked, smiling.
Kagome also smiled back, "Just home, the Host Club ended just a bit ago."
The other girl nodded, "Which direction?" Kagome pointed and she nodded, "Me too…well, I think."
"What do you mean, you think?" The young miko questioned.
Senri rubbed the back of her neck nervously, "Well, I'm supposed to be heading to Aiko's, but I still don't quite remember my way to her house. Usually when I go there, I'm going with someone else who knows the way."
Kagome nodded, "Well, maybe I know where it is. What's the address?"
Senri recited it, "Yeah, I know where it is; it's near me, as well." She smiled.
"That's a relief! I'm so glad I ran into you, Kagome." Said girl had already begun walking, and Senri ran up to walk along Kagome's right side, her own hair swishing as she went.
"No problem," The miko smiled, then pulled her left hand up to the ponytail that her hair was held in. "Hey, you don't mind if I take my hair down, right?"
Senri just shook her head, and turned to look at her friend as the raven-hair cascaded down her back. Although it wasn't as long as Senri's, it was still lengthy. The other ninth-grader didn't mean to stare, but her light hazel eyes did. 'He's really feminine, now that I think about it.'
"Hey, Kagome?"
"Yeah?" Kagome replied, turning to face her friend.
"Why are you so feminine?" Kagome stopped in her tracks, starring at Senri. The girl herself only starred blankly, having also stopped.
"Well, umm, you see…" The cross dresser thought frantically for an excuse, but didn't seem to have one.
Senri shook her head, "Never mind, we're almost at Aiko's house anyway." Kagome let out a sigh of relief, "Hey, Kagome, where do you live?"
"Higurashi Shrine," Kagome replied, happy to be on a safe topic once again, as the two continued the walk to Aiko's.
"Oh, really?" Senri was the one to stop this time, with Kagome following suit, "I thought the only 'kids' there were a sixteen year old girl and ten year old boy?"
'Shit!' Kagome thought, and then mentally scolded herself for speaking like Inuyasha. She began walking again "Yeah, that's true…"
"Kagome…" The dirty blonde's voice trailed off, and she stayed put, not walking yet.
"Yeah?" Kagome plastered on a fake smile, turning to face the other girl.
"Is there anything you—" She was interrupted however, by Kagome scanning around the area, then saying, "Hey, look isn't that Aiko's place over there?"
"It is," Senri replied, although she didn't quite want to head over now. The new student was hiding something, and she knew it was something big.
"Well, see ya later!" Kagome called, already turning around a separate corner towards the Shrine.
Senri only sighed, and headed in the direction Aiko's house was, although mentally telling herself to find time to talk to Kagome again about what was going on.
Closing the door behind her, Kagome leaned against it, flicking off her shoes while she did so. 'That was too close,' she thought, and after taking a few deep breathes she walked farther into the house. "Mama, I'm home!"
As Kagome walked into the living room, Mrs. Higurashi looked up from the couch, where she was sitting watching a Soap Opera it seemed. Her daughter plopped onto the couch beside her, "Soaps again, Mom?"
Mrs. Higurashi smiled, "Yes, Kagome," Kagome sighed dramatically, "Now, why are you home so late?"
"You remember how I decided to wear the male uniform, right?" Her mother nodded, thinking back to the day she showed her daughter the dress, and the horrid expression Kagome showed, "Well, it seems some of the people at the school are quite dense, and they all thought I was a guy, and the school also has a Host Club," At her mother's questioning look, Kagome explained what a Host Club was, and then continued, "It seems they wanted me to join, and even though I said no the first day of school, they persuaded me to at least stay after today and observe."
Her mother smiled, "Anything interesting?"
Kagome laughed, "Yes, very interesting. Any way, on my way home I also ran into one of my classmates, who was lost on her way to another classmate's house, and when I found out where I lived I realized she lives only around the corner, so we both walked together and split off at the point where we turn."
Mrs. Higurashi nodded, "Alright, I'll let your being late go, that is," her mother smiled, "if you stop pestering me about my Soaps."
Kagome laughed, and nodded, "Sure, Mama." She walked over to school bag and picked it up, turning to her mom, "I'm gonna go start on my homework,"
"Okay, honey, dinner's in an hour," Mrs. Higurashi said as her daughter began to walk up the steps.
"Thanks, Mama!" Kagome called outside her bedroom door. Walking into the room and turning on the lights, she plopped her bag down next to her desk, and sat in the swivel seat, thus beginning the horrid homework.
"Kyouya," Kagome whispered in the man's ear. The past week had gone by well, and after much thought and 'persuasion' the newest student had decided to join the Host Club—her final thought being 'What's there to lose?'. Tamaki and the twins were especially happy about her decision, and the profits had gone up quite a bit with her arrival, thus pleasing Kyouya.
He whirled around, eyes blazing, "Yes?"
Kagome smiled, "nothing, really." Kyouya sighed, "I was wondering…can I tell the Host Club I'm a girl?"
The youngest Ootori just continued starring at the binder he was writing in. "Hel-lo, Kyou-ya!" At the sound of her 'whiny' voice Kyouya answered, not even caring about what she asked, "Yeah, sure."
"Yay!" Kagome smiled brightly, "See ya later!"
Kyouya nodded, and watched as Kagome ran away, not quite sure why he had made her happy.
From across the room, he saw how Kagome stopped the Host Club from what they were doing—getting ready to leave—and instead-ly pulling them all together, into a deformed circle. Curious, Kyouya closed his finance binder and walked over, as well.
"What do you need to tell us?" Haruhi asked, suspiciously.
"Well you see…" Kagome fidgeted, her eyes stared around the room, trying to find the right words. "Kyouya!" Her eyes fell on him and a second later the young miko was dragging him over.
The rest of the club watched, confused yet amused, as Kyouya was being dragged over by a 'guy' much smaller than he.
"What, Kagome?" His eyes were glaring right at her.
Of course, Kagome didn't care too much for how Kyouya was reacting, so instead she turned to the Host Club, "I think there's only one way for me to describe this…"
Haruhi, Hunny, Mori, and the twins starred while Tamaki let out a shrill scream as they watched the scene unfold. Kagome had turned towards Kyouya, and at the sudden contact Kyouya stiffened, confused.
Smirking, the young miko stood on her top toes and reached her one hand up to hold Kyouya's jaw. Eyes wide, Kyouya starred as Kagome moved her head close to his, closing her eyes as well. In that instant, the two were kissing.
A second later, Kyouya closed his eyes as well, put his hands on her hips, and kissed back. Kagome let out a soft moan as Kyouya's tongue flicked across her bottom lip. Taking a breath, Kagome opened her mouth for a split second. Smirking into the kiss, Kyouya took that moment and stuck his tongue into her mouth.
As Kagome reacted her eyes burst open, realizing what exactly was going on she pushed her tongue against his. Confused, Kyouya pulled his mouth away, eyes now opened. He would have said something, but he too started to hear Tamaki's screaming. "Crap…" He murmured.
Kagome nodded as she turned towards the other Host Club Members. "You probably have questions…" her voice trailed off.
Tamaki continued screaming in response, while the others all nodded. Kagome smiled nervously, "Um, Senpai, if you could stop screaming…"
The twins leaned over and bonked the Host Club 'King' on the head. Coming out of his state of shock, Tamaki's eyes quickly scanned around the room. When his eyes reached where Kagome and Kyouya were standing, his eyes widened in shock, more-ly focused on Kyouya, and began screaming once again. The twins glared at Tamaki, and hit him once more. Sadly, the screaming didn't cease this time, thus the bonking continued.
Kyouya walked over, silent, and pulled Tamaki away from the two boys. "Kyouya! How could you!" The blonde took a deep breath before screaming, "WE SHARED CLOTHES!"
Glaring, Kyouya replied, "That was once. Also, what did I do that was bad? Kiss a girl?"
Tamaki resembled a fish, with his mouth moving frantically, trying to find words to say, "G-G-Girl?!" He was only able to stutter out the one word.
Kagome nodded, drawing everyone's attention. "Since you've all come to be my friends, I thought you should at least know the truth." Everyone nodded, while Tamaki only did so instantly.
Hunny suddenly jumped up and ran towards Kagome, yelling, "Gome-chan! Now we'll have another girl besides Haru-chan!"
Everyone stopped and looked towards the small bundle of hyper-ness, starring. Well, Kagome and Haruhi starred. The twins both began to stammer, thinking of an excuse to hide the truth behind what they're upperclassman had said. Tamaki was screaming once more, kind of resembling what the twins were doing. Kyouya was glaring at Tamaki, trying to get him to calm down, as well.
Realizing what he said, Hunny mumbled an "Oops," and Mori came up, calming his cousin right before the waterworks started.
"Um, if it helps, I already know," The miko said nervously. At the statement, though, everyone stopped what they were doing, and were once again starring at Kagome.
"You, what?!" Tamaki exclaimed.
Nodding, Kagome replied, "Yep."
"How?" Haruhi asked.
"What?" Kagome asked, turning to the second year, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."
Haruhi nodded, and repeated herself, "How'd you find out?"
Kagome's eyes widened a bit, 'Crap,'
"Kagome?" The twins' voice broke her out of her thoughts.
"Well…you see," Kagome took a breath, "It's complicated."
Kyouya sighed, deciding to help the frazzled miko out, "We were all able to discover Haruhi's true gender on our own—excluding you, Tamaki—so how else do you think she was able to realize it on her own. She's not dense like the rest of the school,"
Kagome sighed a breath of relief, thanking whom-ever was out there for getting Kyouya to help her out of that mess. The rest of the Club, however, wasn't going to take that answer as well as Kagome hoped they would, and as they starred at her, Kagome nodded frantically, "Yep, that's how it was."
Before they could say anything else, Kagome grabbed her school bag and made a bee-line for the door. Just as she opened the door, she spoke allowed, "My mother's probably wondering where I am,"
The Host Club just starred at the now-gone miko and shook their heads a moment later, each grabbing their things and leaving as well. Tamaki addressed the others as they began to walk out the door, "So, what do you think about her?"
Haruhi smiled, "I like her. It's great to finally have another girl in the group,"
The twins also smiled, and Hikaru said, "We have another person to play with, too." Kaoru smirked, along with his brother, but as they did so Kyouya walked over and whacked them over the head with his binder, although it was lightly.
"What was that for, Kyouya?" The two whined simultaneously. He didn't answer their question however and glared.
Not looking at anyone, and heading straight for the door, Kyouya simply responded, "The profits are up, and as far as I'm concerned, Kagome can stay as long as they stay that way,"
