Disclaimer: So I was happily writing on my laptop when all of a sudden these guys in black and their platypus named Perry came and told me that I don't own OHSHC! Can you believe it?!
Chapter 7: Everybody wants to love
- Excuse me? What did you just say?- asked Ashton in complete shock.
- I want to go out with your sister- said Yasuchika- I want to go out with Ashley.
"Holy crap what am I gonna do now?"
- Uhh, well, you see I don't think she can. She is, uhh, not that sociable- Ashton said nervously.
- I don't care. I have fallen for your sister, Shields-sama. She is the perfect woman to be my wife. For years I have been looking for the descendant of the Haninozuka family. And your sister fits the place perfectly.
- I don't know what top say. I mean, I don't doubt that you like my sister, but what about her feelings. I think she should know of your feelings.
- I have proved my feelings with the common sending of roses. I haven't received any answer from her, and since you are her brother you could tell me what she thought.
- Well, it was beautiful, she liked it. But not because you send a girl flowers she immediately falls in love.
- That's why I plan to go slow. I am patient and I know that she will accept- said Yasuchika. He had been hoping to see Ashley again, but seeing as she almost disappeared, he had a better chance of getting close to her through her brother. Ashton kind of resembled Ashley in a certain way. Heck, if Ashton were a girl, he would be the exact same image of Ashley. That would be a strange thing to see. Yasuchika also had other intentions with Ashley, something that would benefit both.
- Well, I don't know. It's her decision after all.
- I will see to it that Ashley goes out with me if it's the last thing I do. Now if you don't cooperate, a certain someone will have to pay the consequences.
- What are you talking about?
- I'm only saying that no one gets in my path. When I want something I don't care who I have to step on. What would happen to a certain maid of mine that got unemployed because her son made me mad.
- Are you threatening me?-said Ashton angry.
- I don't make threats, I make plans. I expect you follow my plan. I best be leaving now, I have more important things to do than talk to you. Good day, Shields-sama. Oh and remember what we discussed.
Ashton had her hands in a fist, but didn't make any movements while Yasuchika left the room. Yasuchika opened the door and all the hosts (Except for Kyoya and Mori) fell in the room. Yasuchika left with his head held up high and the hosts hovered Ashton.
- What happened, Ashton? What did Yasuchika tell you?- asked Tamaki.
- Nothing. I have to go. Please excuse me- Ashton felt as though she was going to cry, but she maintained calm and left the room, leaving all the hosts puzzled.
"Great, I went from one problem to another. When will I ever stay out of trouble? God I don't want to date Yasuchika, I mean, he is nice, but he is younger than me. Plus he tends to be evil. He is nothing like his brother. What will I tell Hunny? I can't tell him his brother has threatened me. He could either not believe me or kill his brother. Damn my life! How could this possibly get any worse?"
Ashton went to the girls' bathroom and started crying as she grabs hold of the washing sink. She saw her tears as she faced the mirror. "What am I going to do?"
- Hey Ash, you in here?- said Haruhi as she entered the bathroom- there you are. Hey what's wrong? Why are you crying?
- It's nothing Haruhi. Go back and enjoy the party, I just have some allergies.
- This was Yasuchika's doing, wasn't it?
- That bastard threatened me with firing my mother if I didn't go out with him. Well my girl self. And now I have to date him. I don't want my mother to be fired, she has struggled a lot to get that job. Even when it's a low paid job, she feels that it's the best thing in the world. She needs this, and I don't want her to suffer because of me.
- Tell Hunny-sempai about this. I mean, we have to get a solution to this.
- No! Hunny won't believe me. He loves his brother, plus I couldn't do that to him. I need to figure this out without him.
- Just answer me this Ashton, are you in love with Hunny-sempai?
- Isn't it obvious? I practically adore the boy. He has helped me so much and he is just so sweet to me, like no other has been before. Even my ex-boyfriend looks like shit compared to him.
- So what are you going to do?- said Haruhi.
- The only thing I can do, go out with that dumbass. I just hope Hunny doesn't find out.
Ashton felt nervous, she had her cell phone in her hand and was trying to get the right words to say. She spun around the room like three thousand times before she actually started to dial a number. She waited for someone to answer….ring….ring….ring….
- Hello, Haninozuka residence?
- Yurika? Uh, hi, it's me, Ash.
- Why hello, Ash! Do you want to talk to your mother?
- Uh, no. I need to speak to Yasuchika Haninozuka. Is he there?
- Yes, he is. I will give him the phone right away.
A long pause…….
- Hello?
- Yasuchika? Uh, Hi.
- Ashley? Oh hello! Glad you called me!
- Yes, well, my brother told me what you told him. I had to talk to you.
- And so what's your decision?
- Alright, I will go out with you. "Like I have any other choice TT"
- Wonderful! How about we see each other this Saturday, at three? I like this amazing Italian restaurant in the center of Tokyo that is splendid!
- Alright, how should I dress?
- Informal. But do look pretty, I want my date to look beautiful. I'll pick you up at three, be ready by then.
Ashton shut her cell phone and tears began to form in her eyes. She felt impotent, uneasy, and angry, things she completely loathed. It was either this or sufferment.
Well at least it's better than being caught by Dowager.
A tall dark man was playing dart with the image of Evelyn Brookes and her daughter, while he stared angrily at the image. That woman had been the ruin of his life, she seemed to be more trouble dead than alive. Although he didn't think that she was dead. She was hiding, he was sure of that. She had to pay for trying to send him to jail.
Suddenly a White man, dressed in a black t shirt and dark jeans walked in the room
- So, did you find them?
- No boss. They completely disappeared from the face of the earth. I guess they really are dead.
- Idiot! Those two aren't dead! I know their alive, I just know it! You are just too incompetent to find her.
- We are doing the best we can. We have searched high and low all over the country for them. No sign of them anywhere.
- Well keep looking! I won't stop till I see Evelyn Brookes die in my hands.
- Yes boss.
The "boss" threw the dart and hit the image, which hit directly in the face of Evelyn.
"God, that clock is sooo slow!! MOVE CLOCK, MOVE!"
- Shields, pay attention! Tell me when was philosophy born?
- In 5 B.C. in Greece.
- Very good, Shields- the teacher, who quickly made another question to another student.
Ash wasn't thinking straight that day. She was way nervous about her date with Yasuchika to even notice anything else. All week had been the same, she almost didn't pay attention in the host club. She told everyone that she felt kind of sick, but only Haruhi knew what was really going on. They had discussed about her situation, but Ashton seemed determined to get it over with. Haruhi felt bad for Ashton, but she knew she was being brave for her mother.
- Hey Ashton, can you tell me what tomorrow's homework is?- asked Tamaki in a whisper.
- Huh? What?
- What's our homework?
- Oh, page 95, you have to answer the questions and make a diagram about them.
- Thanks. Hey Ashton, what's wrong with you? You've been acting very weird lately. It's like you zone out or something. Is something wrong?
- No, nothing's wrong. I'm only a bit tired, I have been studying too much lately. Thank god we are resting on the weekend.
- Yeah, speaking of weekends, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Twin's mansion to hang out. We will play Guitar Hero and Rock Star on X-box, wanna come?
- I'm sorry Tamaki, I have a ton of things to do. Laundry doesn't clean itself you know.
- Suoh, Shields, pay attention! Now we were talking about the beginning of the…
The bell rang, and as if a big weight were lifted form her, Ashton felt relived. She was heading to the door and was stopped by Tamaki.
- Ashton, are you sure you don't want to come? I mean it's Guitar Hero! Don't commoners like videogames?
- This doesn't have to do with the fact that I'm a commoner. I'm just too busy is all. I have to leave for the club, you should do the same- Ashton headed to the music room completely serious and got ready for her guests. As she was changing, she felt someone come in her dressing room.
- Who is it?- Ashton asked nervously for she was in her underwear, and they could discover her.
- It's only me, Ash- said Hunny- Are you ok?
- God! Everyone is asking me that today! I can't be serious for one day, because everyone makes a thousand questions.
- Don't get mad, I only wanted to see if you were ok. What snake bit your toushie?
- None- Ashton said trying to relax- I'm only stressed, I guess. I think it's the homework. I'm sorry for bursting on you Hunny-sempai. You have no fault in this.
- Ash, you have to calm down, I'm worried for you. Are you sure you feel ok for you to be hosting today?
- Yeah, totally!- she put on the cosplay of samurai she had been to use- Let's go out there and give them the time of their lives!
Ashton was smiling, but deep down she felt sad and felt as though she was betraying him. "I wish I could tell you Hunny. You more than anyone don't deserve to be lied to"
- Yeah! Let's go!
The day was, as usual, boring. Nothing to do but entertain girls for hours. Ashton was growing tired of the same thing. She was so used to flirting with girls and telling them beautiful tings that she felt completely bored with it. She had the part down and tried to keep it that way, much to her dismay. Once the hosting was over, Ashton quickly went and changed so she and Haruhi could go home.
Hunny was going to finally going to tell Ashton his feelings. He had been thinking of her every single day. There wasn't a day where he didn't think about her. He thought that he needed to set things straight, and who knows, maybe he could get a bride in the progress. That would make his father happy. He had a red rose and went to where Haruhi and Ashton were waiting for the bus to come. He thought of surprising her, so he hid in the bushes and waited for the right moment. He could hear the conversation she and Haruhi were having.
- Are you ready for this weekend?- said Haruhi.
- Don't know, I fell so nervous. What of something goes wrong? I sure hope things go well tomorrow.
-So, when are you going to see him?
- This Saturday, he's going to take me to an Italian restaurant. Gosh, I just realized, I have nothing to wear! I need to be pretty for my date.
Date? What? Ash was having a date with someone? "Calm down Hunny, maybe she has a date to go to the dentist or a doctor. No need to think that she's going out with another guy" Hunny thought.
- Wow, seems like he has everything planned. Now the only irony would be if he would ask you to marry him- said Haruhi joking.
"Marry? Oh my god it is another guy! Ashton is going on a date with someone! What if she falls for that man? What if she doesn't love me?" Hunny thought.
- Don't be so precipitated, I'm only going out with him. Don't call for a thunderstorm, when skies are blue.
- Thunderstorm?- Haruhi began to look nervously at the sky.
- It's a figure of speech, Haruhi. Calm down!
- Hey getting back to the subject we were discussing, what are you going to do with Hunny-sempai? I mean of you are gonna date his brother he is bound to know sooner or later.
"Ashton is dating Yasuchika? How can this be? I thought she loved me. I can't take it anymore!"Hunny got up from the ground and quickly ran, leaving the red rose on the ground.
- Huh? Hunny? Wait! Come back!- Ashton yelled, but it was too late. Could he have heard her conversation? She looked at the ground and saw the red rose. She looked at it in tenderness and suddenly felt a teardrop run through her cheek. The teardrop ran all the way from her cheek and landed in the rose. She had lost him. She and lost the love of her life, and because if his stupid brother. "God, just shoot me, why don't you! You have taken everything from me, why not my life as well. I bet that would be fun for you wouldn't it!"
- You gonna continue now?- asked Haruhi.
- I have no stepping back. I think I lost him, nothing else is left for me. The plan goes as planned. And my heart stays broken.
A.N. Hey everybody!! Wooo! I had such a writer block! I didn't know what else to write. I suddenly had a brain burst and here we have it. I know you are all saying "NOOOOOOOOOOO Hunny and Ashton are getting!!!", but don't worry, things will brighten up. Remember the silver lining. Jajajjajajaaja!
