The French (Ex-)Countessa In Japan

~*~

Haha. I know the title is kind of like, "well duh!", but I was in the mood to use the word 'countessa.' I previously was going to put "The Frenchian/Japanese Duchess" but I kind of decided to use something very similar for another story, which I should be working on, but all I can think about is my plot for this story...so...yeah.

R&R, enjoy, do my laundry if you must--you get the point, right? I want you to do all of this. (But the laundry, I guess you don't HAVE to do that...)

The Saku-Hika Date

~*~

Sakura POV

~*~

Yuki threw a hairbrush at me because of all the weird faces I was making in the mirror while she tried to do my make-up.

"Listen, Saku-chan, and listen closely. If you don't stop sticking out your buck teeth--"

"WHAT?!?!"

"--I will take red lipstick and write 'i love mori' all over your face."

I gaped. "But...dude, he's my cousin."

"My point exactly."

I stuck my tongue out. "That's almost as bad as the twins' stupid gay-homo-incest-brotherly-love-acts."

"That...was an incredibly long sentence..."

After she finished plastering my face with make-up, I stood up (on wobbly platforms) and looked at my outfit.

I had on a slim red dress, black tights, and white Roxy platforms. With dark maroon-red lipstick. (A/N: ' u ')

"Yuki, what if--"

Tono started banging on the door because he wanted to see his daughter.

"Wahhhhhhhh! She's gonna look so cuuuuuuutttteeee!!!" he wailed, and we could tell that Mori and Hunny were trying to get Tono to not come inside.

"Tono~!" Yuki sang sweetly. "You can come innnnnn~! But Saku-chan is naaaakkkkkeeeeddddd~!"

It was quiet, and then Hunny started wailing that Tono needed to go to the nurse for his nosebleed.

Finally, Yuki tried to shove me out the door. "I have three rules for you. 1, No hickies. 2, No getting home late. And 3, if you get those shoes dirty, I will skin your hide. Now go knock him dead, mon chéri."

She pushed me so hard that I tripped over my feet and fell--

--into Hikaru's arms.

~*~

My heart raced a hundred miles a minute. When I looked up at his face, it was as red as a tomato. Just like I was sure my face looked like. I wanted to stay like this forever; but then Tamaki noticed.

"Let go of my daughterrrr!"

Then Kaoru snickered, and then Yuki came over to me.

"No~! You're gonna break my shoes~!" Then she smiled. "Ayez l'amusement, vous des lovebirds."

Tamaki went wide-eyed and nearly fell over. "WHAT?!"

Yuki and Kaoru managed to push Hikaru and me out the door.

~*~

"So...umm...what do you want...to do....first...?" he asked nervously.

"Cotton candy!!" I immediantly exclaimed.

His lips twitched like he was trying to hide a smile, and he let me lead him to the cotton candy stand.

"Do you want one, Hikaru?" I asked politely after the man gave me my fluffy blue sugar on a stick. He shook his head, and then opened his mouth to say something. Instead, I shoved my cotton candy in his mouth. When I pulled it back, his tongue was blue and there was a sudden hole in my cotton candy.

He was about to yell at me, when sometthing changed in his eyes, and he said something entirely un-Hikaru-like. "Where would you...um...like to go....next...?" he asked anxiously.

He was nervous. I could tell. So, without entirely thinking, I leaned forward, over his shoulder - my mouth next to his ear. "Don't be nervous, Hikaru. Let's have a fun time!" I whispered.

He blushed, then nodded. "So, where do you want to go next?"

~*~

After afew hours of fun and laughter, it was time to go, because it started to rain. Good thing I wasn't like Haruhi, who was terrified of thunder. "I guess we should be going to our homes now." Yeah, because it wasn't like we would go back to the Host Club.

Hikaru nodded, he seemed sad that it was time to leave. "Well, I'll hail a cab now... I'll see you tomorrow at the Host Club!" I called, and gave him a short hug, and I risked not seeing his expression, and darted off to where some people were waiting to get cabs as well. Hikaru could just call his family to get someone to come get him.

And so, the date ended.
