"Are you really coming?" asked Miko, walking behind a sour Miranda. "Do I look like I have a choice?" said Miranda, motioning her head to the twins. The twins held her by her upper arm and they were dragging her through Ouran's hallway to the clubroom.
"We wouldn't have to drag if you if you just kept your promise," said Hikaru annoyed with a tick mark on his forehead.
"I can't believe you tried to run to your limo as soon school ended," said Kaoru, looking slightly amused. Miko giggled behind them, but Miranda was not pleased.
*Flashback*
As soon as the final bell rang, Miranda bolted out from her classroom, running to her shoe locker. "Wait!" said Haruhi out of breath. "What about the Host club?" she panted.
"Sorry Haruhi. Something came up… so, uh, bye!" said Miranda as she ran out of the school building. Her chauffeur saw her.
"Start the engine, we have to get out of here," Miranda yelled as she came closer to the limo. She jumped in the car and sighed in relief.
"Going somewhere?" she heard two voices to her left. Miranda turned her head and saw the twins, a knowing smirk on their faces. Silence loomed in the car.
"..."
"Miranda, aren't those your friends?" asked the chauffeur from the driver seat. Suddenly Miranda screamed, but was instantly silenced by Hikaru's hand. "Be a good girl and come with us," he whispered in her ear.
*End of flashback*
"Bullshit," Miranda grumbled under her breath. They finally arrived to the clubroom. Girls were standing in line outside the Host club. The twins released her. "Make sure she doesn't run away girls," they said and went in. Miranda gave the door a glare. Now was her chance to escape. She turned around and was about to sneak out when a hand held her back. She turned around and saw a girl with curly brown hair and a determined face.
"Where are you going?" said the girl.
Hurry, come up with some shit!
"Ah, my beautiful flower," Miranda said and held the girl by her waist, pulling her closer to her body. Their face inches apart. "A delicate princess like you shouldn't wear such a face. Please smile for me and make my heart flutter," Miranda said, her lips almost brushing the girl's. The said girl blushed furiously and fainted.
"Oh no, she fainted, I got to get a nurse," Miranda said innocently and let go of the girl. "No you're not", said Miko from behind and slapped Miranda.
"The Host club is now open." The girls pushed the door open and there stood seven guys positioned around the couch. "Good grief," Miranda groaned and faceplamed.
"Miranda! Come and sit with me!" yelled Tamaki. Miranda sighed and did as told. The Host club was separated in their own places, entertaining their guests.
"Why are you so beautiful, Tamaki-sama…" asked a girl with brown curly hair, her hands in front of her.
Is that even a question? Can't believe these girls.
"All the better to remain in thy eyes, my love," Tamaki answered. Tamaki was wearing a yukata, half of his chest exposed. He sat on the
"Why is your voice so clear and true?" Miko asked.
Miko! What the fuck! Miranda though.
"The better to impart my feeling into you, my love," he said with a smile.
"Why do you look upon me with such wet eyes…?"
"Yeah, idiot, why are you crying?" Miranda deadpanned.
Tamaki ran a hand through his hair, revealing his teary eyes with a smile. "The spring of my heart surges upon the sight of your fresh smile, my love," he said, clearly crying right now.
Miranda looked like a dead fish. This is bullshit, she thought and went to the twins. Maybe they were less corny than Tamaki. Miranda was about to sit until she heard Hikaru say something very disturbing.
"Of course, it's my job to take off the kimono, isn't it, Kaoru?" he said. He wore a dark blue yukata with flower patterns.
"Hikaru! I'm embarrassed… Not in front of everyone, please…!" Kaoru whimpered, tears in his eyes.. He also wore the same yukata as Hikaru.
"KYAA" the girls squealed around the table. Miranda just stood there, her eyelids half open and her face blank. Hikaru and Kaoru noticed Miranda.
"Jealous?" they asked and walked to her. Miranda turned around and was about to go to Haruhi until she felt to hands grab her shoulder. "What's the hurry?" Hikaru whispered in her right ear. Miranda slapped their hands off and turned around, still looking bored
"What if I'm in a hurry?"
They exchanged glances before they gave her a smug smile. "Are you scared you are going to like it?" they challenged her. Miranda snorted.
"The only person I'm scared of right now is not you, but he," she said and pointed to Kyoya. "He's going to kill me," she said and saw Haruhi coming their way. She accidentally bumped into Hikaru, making a fake eye drop bottle falling out of his sleeve.
Ah, that's why everyone is crying, Miranda thought.
"What's this?" Haruhi grumbled out in irritation. Hikaru and Kaoru appeared behind her, their back against each other. "For your information, it's common for a host to use eye drops." "No women alive can resist a man on the bring of tears," Kaoru said looking smug
"You cheaters," Miranda scoffed, earning a smirk from Hikaru.
Kaoru dug in his sleeve, "Here Haruhi, this is for you," he said and pulled out a pink confectionery, placing it in Haruhi's hands. The little brunette stared at it. Hikaru also placed one in Miranda's hands, earning a suspicious look.
"Why are you looking at me like that? You should be thankful," he said, feeling a little annoyed.
"Are you trying to bribe me?" Miranda smiled. Hikaru averted his eyes, knowing Miranda had hit the spot. "No…" he lied.
"It's for me?" Haruhi asked. The twins grinned at her reaction, "Aren't you the cutest."
The girls immediately went for Haruhi. "Haruhi-kun, you like Japanese teacakes?" asked a girl with hearts fluttering around her.
"Well, to be honest with you, I don't really," she said. She doesn't like sweets, huh? Miranda thought, then Haruhi caught her attention again.
"But you know, I think it'll be a nice memorial offering for my mother," she said and gave the sweet a loving look. The girls were moved by Haruhi's comment. Miranda clutched her heart, tears in her eyes. That she would do something so sweet to her mother.
Such a good child…
Suddenly, Tamaki appeared. "So admirable of you! Such devotion to your mother's memory," he said and leaned closer to Haruhi, his eyes filled with tears. "Please Haruhi, take as many of these as you like," he said as he piled up sweets in her hand.
"God bless you my child! Here, take mine as well!" Miranda sniffed and gave Haruhi her sweet.
"Um thanks Miranda," the brunette said awkwardly. She couldn't treat the white hair girl like she treated Tamaki. Haruhi then looked to Tamaki.
"Let me guess, the tears are fake," Haruhi deadpanned, questioning his words. Tamaki looked deeply insulted while Miranda laughed.
"Haha, she got you!"
"Miranda!" Tamaki shrieked. She of all people should know that these tears weren't fake
"How could you? My tears are always genuine, Haruhi. Being able to cry without the use of eye drops, is the mark of a true host," he said dramatically as a tear slipped. Then he turned around to Miranda, pointing a finger at her face. "You of all people should know that, even you could cry in the blink of an eye."
Miranda blinked confused and then looked skeptically into his face.
"I don't what you are talking about. No one can make me cry that fast," she said with her hands on her hips. Tamaki turned around, his back facing her.
"Oh really," he asked and gave her a challenged look.
"Really!" she said and flipped her hair. There was a tense in the air. The other hosts looked at Tamaki and then at Miranda. Tamaki took a deep breath.
"I BROKE YOUR XBOX!" he yelled. The other hosts were dumbfounded. How would that make Miranda cry, they thought and then looked at Miranda.
She was crying her eyes out, rivers on each side of her face. "H-how could you!" she sobbed, tears continually pouring out of her eyes. She went to her emo corner.
"Miranda, please don't cry, I lied," Tamaki said, panic clearly in his voice. But Miranda wouldn't listen.
"You monster." She screeched. She was now rocking back and forth, pulling her hair out of her head. Haruhi sighed and went to Miranda. She already knew how to deal with people like her.
"I'm telling dad!" Miranda said, snot dripping from her nose. Haruhi rubbed Miranda's back and explained that Tamaki just tried to prove her point.
"Tama-chan, you shouldn't make your sister cry, that was mean of you," scolded Honey-senpai. Mori went to Miranda and gave her tissues.
Miranda then stopped crying, her face still flushed though.
"Miranda, I'm sorry," Tamaki apologized and hugged her, but she didn't hug him back, she just sniffed and rested her head on his shoulder. "I was almost going to stab you," she murmured. Then she saw a flash, it was Kyoya, with a camera. "What a lovely picture for the album, brother and sister making up," he said and gave her a sweet, fake smile. Miranda blushed and gave him the finger.
"We did not make up!" she yelled, her hand balled into fists. "We didn't? Then I'll apologize hundred times until you forgive!" he said dramatic as he kneeled down. "Yes, we did, just shut up," Miranda said, she was starting to get a headache.
Suddenly the hosts noticed a girl hanging around in the background, peeking at them. "Looks like the host club has a brand new guest," the twins said, an idea popping in their heads. They then appeared in front of the girl, offering a rose. "What are you waiting for? Come on in." "Watching from afar isn't fun."
The Tamaki appeared with a rose. "Stop it. How many times do I have to tell you boys to be more courteous to our first time guests?" he said and offered her a hand. "Please you don't have to be afraid, my princess." He held a finger to her chin, "Welcome to the Host club." The girl blushed and Miranda noticed her eye twitch.
Suddenly the girl pushed Tamaki harshly on the face. "NO, don't touch me, you phony!"
This shocked everyone, even Kyoya. Miranda laughed as the girl continued to insult Tamaki. Tamaki cradled his face as he watched her in horror. " What do you mean I'm phony," he asked.
"Oh my God, this is going to be good," Miranda laughed.
The twins looked at her and then at the girl. The girl pointed a finger at him
"Just what I said you phony! I find it hard to believe that someone like is the prince character of this host club!" Tamaki backed up, bumping into Miranda.
"Listen to her, she has a point," Miranda laughed and pushed him to the girls, which continued to rant.
"You shouldn't spread your love so easily like that, you stupid," an arrow hit him from the back. "You must be a dimwitted narcissist, you're incompetent, commoner, you're DISGUSTING!"
Miranda was now on the floor, laughing her ass off. She couldn't resist giving the final blow.
"Oh, and don't forget perverted, stupid and most of all obnoxious!" Miranda yelled from behind. Tamaki couldn't take it anymore and fell down in slow motion, which caught the twins' attention.
"He created a new technique! One-man-slow-motion!"
"I don't suppose, you are…" Kyoya started, but was cut off by the girl. She seemed to recognize him.
"It's you! Kyoya!" the girl cried and running to him, jumping on Tamaki and then tackled him into a hug. "Oh, I've longed to meet you, my one and only prince charming," she mused.
"Wait… time out. What?"
The host club hours were finished. "Well, it was nice to meet you, now I'm going home," Miranda said and stretched her hands over her head. She opened the door, but Hikaru instantly closed it.
"C'mon dude," Miranda groaned.
"You can't leave yet," Hikaru said and pulled her to where the host club was gathered.
"Why not?" she asked. Hikaru stopped dead in his tracks, which caused Miranda to bump on his back.
"Because…" he murmured.
Miranda didn't hear the rest. "Because?" she asked, urging him to continue.
"Because I don't want you to leave," Hikaru said, his face flushed with red. He had a desperate look on his face.
"Well, that was a shitty excuse Hitachiin," Miranda said, but continued to walk to the area where the host club were gathered, leaving Hikaru where he stood. His head was low. What he didn't know was that Kaoru saw everything and gave his brother a worrying look. Miranda sat on the couch, next to the girl. Then Hikaru came and stood beside his brother.
"Kyoya-senpai's fiancée" the twins asked. Miranda glanced at Kyoya.
B-but he's the devil, she thought.
"Yes, my name is Hoshakuji Renge. I'll be a First-year, Class A tomorrow. By the way, I'm grown up in France since I was 10," Renge said with a smile.
"I'm French too," Miranda said and pointed to herself.
"Why is he sulking?" asked Hikaru back to normal. "Because mommy was keeping a secret from daddy," Kaoru answered. This made almost burst out laughing. Kyoya gave her a murderous glare. "And I assume Haruhi and the twins are your children." The glare increased. Miranda continued to laugh.
"Whi-which one is on the top?"
"…" He looked ready to strangle her any moment. Miranda then stopped laughing, well… she tried.
"I'll shut up."
"Whatever, why is everyone insisting on referring us like husband and wife" he sighed.
Tamaki spoke up. "I'm not only angry because of that. He glanced at Miranda, who gave him a questioning look. "Miranda, you traitor, how could you tell everyone that I'm stupid?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was a secret," she said with a smirk.
"Miranda, you're so mean," he whined.
"Huh? Me, mean? You were the one who made me cry," Miranda retorted back. Before Tamaki could protest, Renge cut in. "Oh, this is a story of love at first sights," she said, her hands on her cheek.
"I couldn't resist the way you were adoring those flowers in the backyard when you thought no one else was looking. And how sweet it was when you reached out to the poor little injured kitten."
Miranda tried to picture all this… but she couldn't. The only she could see was how Kyoya trampled those flowers and how he ignored the little kitten. Then how he would plot to conquer the world with Satan.
…Wait, that's wrong… I think.
"Could you have the wrong person," Haruhi suggested.
"No way, I can recognize my love anywhere!" Renge retorted.
Now you're just bullshitting, Miranda thought.
Renge continued to talk and by now, everyone seemed freaked out by who she was talking about. "He's a gentleman who's kind to anyone and doesn't ask anything in return," she continued to ramble on. "He looks like the star of the popular dating game Uki Doki Memorial!" There was a silence in the room.
"OTAKU!" screamed Tamaki and Miranda, looking horrified.
"Otaku?" yelled Hikaru.
"I've never seen one before," Kaoru shouted out.
Kyoya placed his and in thought, "I get it now. You're in love with that character. You're projecting that love on to me and somehow deluded into thinking we're engaged."
"So she made it up, you're not really her fiancée, right?" Tamaki asked.
"No, I don't ever remember asking her hand in marriage. Besides, this is the first time I've ever met her."
Everyone sighed in relief, Tamaki looked completely relieved.
"Don't worry brother. Your women aren't cheating on you," Miranda smirked, earning a glare from Kyoya.
Suddenly, Renge popped up from nowhere next to Kyoya, her hand in front of her, "According to my research I understand you're in charge of managing this club, is that true Kyoya?"
"That's right, Kyo-chan is our director!" Honey-senpai said.
"You're the club's director, that's perfect!"
Miranda was growing annoyed. The girl had an annoying voice, she was talking shit and the thing that irked her the most was that Hikaru keep giving her glances now and then.
"Well boys, I can't wait to work for you," said Renge and smiled.
"Huh?!" Miranda questioned.
"Miranda help me! Tell her we don't need a manager!" Tamaki hissed to her as he held her shoulders and swung back and forth.
"Tamaki, my brother," Miranda said and put her hand on Tamki's chin.
"She's your problem now," Miranda said sweetly and then bolted out of the room.
"FINALLY, I'M OUT OF THIS HELL HOLE!" Miranda exclaimed and ran to her limo.
In the limo (Hitachiin)
"Hikrau, why did you look so depressed in there?" asked Kaoru as he looked at Hikaru with worried eyes. Hikaru looked outside the window, not meeting his brother's gaze.
"Was it something Miranda said? Kaoru continued.
"Kaoru..." Hikaru started. He then breathed out. "It's nothing," he said with a smirk. Kaoru didn't look convinced.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah, she just said how ugly I was," Hikaru said and rolled his eyes. Kaoru chuckled, "That sounds like Miranda for you," he said and leaned on the other end of the car, looking outside.
Hikaru also looked outside the window, his smile slowly fading away.
That was a shitty excuse, Hitachiin... he remembered. The word Hitachiin continued to echo in his head.
She doesn't even care, he thought bitterly. The fact that she used his name or his brother indicates shat she didn't care which one was who. He clenched his fists.
If that's how you are, see if I care then, he thought angrily.
A/N It's 3.34 am right now. Just telling, so if you notice some grammars, tell me, or not. I don't know.
