Chapter 6: The Dance of Death
"HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" Yuna said cheerfully.
"You're way too excited," Sakura said. "It's not Halloween yet."
"Come on Sakura, we have no class tomorrow," Hikaru said.
"And the host club is holding a Halloween ball tomorrow," Kaoru said.
"Do I have to dress up in a costume?" Sakura asked.
"Yes," all three of them said.
"Where's your Halloween spirit?" Hikaru asked.
"Okay, I'll wear a costume," Sakura said.
"What costume are you going to wear?" Kaoru asked both of them.
"I don't know," Sakura said. "Something that doesn't stand out too much."
"Then there's no point in dressing up," Yuna said.
"That's the point," Sakura grinned.
"How about this one time you stand out? It's the Halloween costume contest tomorrow," the twins said.
"I never win those things," Sakura said.
"That's so sad," Hikaru said.
"Do you want us to help the both of you find a costume?" Kaoru asked.
"Yes," Yuna said.
"No," Sakura said.
"Come on Sakura!" Yuna said.
"I don't know, quit pressuring me!" Sakura complained.
"You two should wear identical costumes!" the twins said.
"I bet you two are right?" Yuna asked.
"Of course," Hikaru said.
"Is there any other way?" Kaoru asked.
"Do you want to dress in the same costume?" Yuna asked Sakura.
"I don't know," Sakura said.
"Make up your mind woman!" Yuna complained.
"What's the point in dressing the same?" Sakura asked.
"It's the benefit from being a twin," Hikaru said.
"I don't know, we never dress like each other," Sakura said.
"She does have a point, we dress differently so people can tell us apart," Yuna said.
"Exactly," Sakura said. "And if you make me leave my hair down then I'm going in a different costume."
"Do you have some kind of hair complex?" Hikaru asked.
"No, I just don't like leaving my hair down," Sakura said.
"Hey you guys," Haruhi said.
"What's up Haruhi?" Yuna asked.
"Tamaki said emergency meeting for all members of the host club," Haruhi said.
"Well we got to go," Hikaru said.
"See you later," Sakura said.
"So, what costume do you want?" Yuna asked.
"Do you want to win the costume contest?" Sakura asked her sister.
"Yeah, I want to, but we're in this together, so if you don't want to then I don't either," Yuna said.
"I don't mind," Sakura said. "So what kind of costume will make us stand out?"
"Judging by the girls here, I bet you that most of them will dress up as princesses," Yuna said.
"That is possible," Sakura said. "What are the rules of the contest?"
"Um…I think it's have the best costume. We only have to compete with only girls so that's a relief," Yuna said.
"So what should we dress up as?" Sakura asked again.
"How about fairies?" Yuna asked.
"Heck no, I hate the whole fairy dust thing," Sakura said.
"How about a princess?"
"Didn't we just go over this?"
"How about a school girl?"
"It's bad enough we wear uniforms, why do you want to wear them on Halloween?"
"How about cheerleader?"
"Give me an N give me an O what's that spell? NO!"
"I give up then," Yuna said.
"Fine I'll think of something," Sakura said. "How about a witch?"
"Seems like that's the second choice all the other girls want to choose."
"A pirate?"
"That seems too scary."
"A dark priestess?"
"Are you depressed or something?"
"Okay, then how about a dark sorceress?"
"Seriously what's up with you and dark costumes?"
"What? I like some costumes that don't seem completely dark," Sakura said.
"I know," both Sakura and Yuna said. "You think that too? So was I! We can totally get that costume!"
"Hey you guys, did you think of a costume?" the twins said.
"Yes we did," both Yuna and Sakura said proudly.
"So what is it?" Hikaru asked.
"We're not going to tell you!" Yuna stuck her tongue out.
"That's not fair," Kaoru said.
"Too bad," Sakura smiled. "You're going to have to wait until tomorrow."
"Well, we just found out that we're going to be the judge of the costume contest," Haruhi sighed.
"Yeah," the twins said annoyed. "Now we can't be in the contest."
"Suck it up," Yuna said.
"Easy for you to say," Hikaru stuck his tongue at her.
"Do you two by any chance want to help us?" Kaoru asked.
"It depends, what do you need help with?" Sakura asked.
"Milord and Kyoya are making us decorate the third music room," Hikaru said.
"And help decorate for the costume contest," Kaoru finished.
"It's probably going to take us the whole day," Haruhi complained.
"Well, we're not really doing anything right now," Yuna said.
"Sensei did let everyone else out to enjoy the day before Halloween," Sakura said. "So, of course we'll help you guys."
"Okay then, we will have to stop by the third music room," Haruhi said.
"Well let's get going!" Yuna said cheerfully.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Seriously you guys, what's your costume!" Hikaru asked.
"We're not telling you," Yuna said, putting up some of the decoration.
"Could you at least give us a hint?" Kaoru asked.
"We both thought of it," Sakura said.
"That doesn't really help," Haruhi said.
"Oh, but it does," Yuna said.
"So, how's the decoration coming?" Tamaki asked as he entered the room.
"It's going fine, it would have been faster if you would have helped," Haruhi said.
"And let this body do hard labor? Never, I only do things that let my looks shine to its full potential," Tamaki bragged.
"So you're saying that you're weak and lack upper body strength and to make up for that you pay attention to only your looks?" Sakura asked.
"No, that not what I was saying," he said.
"So now you're saying that you're just lazy in wanting to aid you're fellow host and spend your free time boasting about you're looks?" she asked.
"That's not what I was saying either!" Tamaki exclaimed.
"Face it, you're not going to win an argument with Sakura," Yuna said.
"Well we're done with this room," Hikaru said.
"That leaves the school's cafeteria to decorate," Kaoru said.
"Why the cafeteria, it's not a good place to hold a costume contest," Yuna pointed out.
"She's right you know," Haruhi said to Tamaki.
"Fine, then where do you suggest we have the costume contest?" Tamaki asked.
"How about here at the music room?" Sakura asked. "We already decorated here, and you're not going to be here all day are you?"
"I guess that is a good idea," Tamaki admitted. "I'll go find Kyoya, and consult with him; you're all free to go."
"Well we're leaving, we have to get our costumes," Yuna said.
"See you tomorrow," Sakura waved.
"Haruhi what are you going to wear?" Hikaru asked.
"I don't know, and I don't really care," Haruhi replied.
"You sound like Sakura," Kaoru said. "At least wear a costume."
"Then it's just another day at the host club," Haruhi pointed out.
"Yeah, but you get to wear what you want," the twins said.
"Fine, I'll wear like a witch costume or something," Haruhi said. "See you guys later."
"Should we pull a prank on the girl?" Hikaru asked.
"Should we? They have been so nice to us," Kaoru said.
"All the more to pull a prank on them," They said together.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"I thought you guys were going to come in a costume!" the twins complained.
"We did bring a costume," Yuna said.
"We're just not going to wear it until later," Sakura smirked at the twins.
"That's not fair," the twins stuck their tongue at them.
"Oh well sucks for you," Yuna smiled.
"Well anyways, Trick-or-Treat!" the twins smiled.
"Here," Sakura handed them some candy.
"Thanks," the twins stared down at the candy and ate it really fast.
"Once again, trick-or-treat!" Yuna handed them a piece of candy.
"We were going to come back and tell you what our costume was," Yuna said.
"But we heard an interesting conversation about someone pulling a prank on us," Sakura finished.
"You guys are no fun," Hikaru complained. "Now who are we suppose to pull our prank on?"
"Yeah, guess we don't need this bucket of water," Kaoru said, lazily pulling the rope that was attached to the bucked over their heads.
"Hi you guys, what are you up to?" Tamaki said, arriving in a prince costume.
"Uh….Tamaki…." Sakura said, but it was too late, the bucket of water had fallen already and poured all over Tamaki.
"Watch out," Yuna said, trying to hold in her laughter.
"You guys are not funny!" Tamaki said, trying to dry himself.
"Oh, contraire, it's just that you don't have a sense of humor," the twins laughed, giving each other high fives.
"Just go inside and get ready for the costume contest," Tamaki said angrily.
"See you guys later," the twins waved, still laughing.
"So let's get changing," Yuna said.
"I can't believe I'm going through with this," Sakura said.
"I'm going through with it," Yuna pointed out.
"Yeah, but it's normal for you," Sakura said.
"Thanks," Yuna smiled at her sister.
"Okay, let's get this over with," Sakura said.
"Hey, that's no way to act on like the best holiday of the year!" Yuna pouted.
"Okay, okay, let's win this contest," Sakura said.
"Now, that's more like it," Yuna smiled.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Thank you for attending the Host Club Costume Contest!" Tamaki said through a microphone.
"The rules are simple, the girl with the best costume, wins the grand prize," Kyoya said.
"Good luck to all of you!" Hunny said while Mori nodded in agreement.
"May the best costume win," the twins said.
"Why am I here?" Haruhi mumbled to herself.
Tamaki announced each costume after costume, but unfortunately as Yuna and Sakura predicted, every girl in the school came dressed as a…princess.
"Wow," Yuna said from behind some curtains. "That's a lot of princesses."
"It seems the host club is getting sick of watching all of the contestants," Sakura pointed out. "I think the twins are asleep and now Tamaki is scolding them."
"Wake up now, you both are a disgrace to the host club!" Tamaki yelled. "Now for our final contestants, and hopefully they're not dressed as princess, Hitaku Yuna and Hitaku Sakura!"
"Oh that's us," Sakura said.
"Let's win this costume," Yuna said as both of them stepped out into the spotlight.
Both Yuna and Sakura stepped out wearing ninja costumes. They performed a series of flips in the air and many cartwheels that impressed the whole audience. Then they took out their ninja stars and threw them above the heads of the audience and hit the target that appeared behind.
"Wow, that's a new costume we haven't seen in years!" Tamaki said.
"They're original, that's for sure," Kyoya said.
"They did cool flips!" Hunny said Mori nodded.
"That was awesome you guys!" the twins said.
"Probably the best thing we've seen all day," Haruhi said.
"Well, that's makes it unanimous, the winners are Yuna and Sakura!" Tamaki announced.
"How did you guys did all those flips!" Hunny asked.
"Well, when we were little, we studied some martial arts," Yuna said cheerfully.
"We haven't given up on it, we still go to lessons every once in awhile," Sakura said.
"Come fight with me and Takashi some time!" Hunny said.
"Okay then, you win a dance with host club!" Tamaki said.
"What?!" both Yuna and Sakura screamed.
"There is a Halloween dance in front of the school right now," Kyoya said.
"And not only that, you get to spend a whole day with the host club!" Tamaki said.
"As if we didn't spend enough time with you guys," Sakura said.
"It's will be fun Sakura!" Yuna said.
"Easy for you to say, I can't dance," Sakura said embarrassed.
"Now, pick two host you two would like to dance with," Tamaki said.
"Tamaki, just put away the microphone already," Haruhi said.
"No sweat, you can be our partners," Hikaru said, linking arms with Yuna.
"We can teach you how to dance," Kaoru said, linking arms with Sakura.
"Okay," Yuna said happily. "See Sakura, they're nice enough to teach you to dance!"
"Okay, but don't blame me if I step on your toes a lot," Sakura warned.
"I won't," Kaoru grinned.
"Happy Halloween everyone," everyone said.
