I woke up smiling. A few days ago at the dance, Honey was there for me and showed me true strength. After that though we had to be super hidden ninjas to get out of there without being noticed. It was quite funny, we accidently made the Hittachins drop their banana skins as they tried to catch up to Honey. Although we easily lost them, it turns out that Tamaki tripped over it and pushed Haruhi into kissing Kanako on the lips. For her first kiss. But you did have to admit the look on Tamaki's face was priceless! And then Kanako and her fiancée made up but I don't really care about her much. I mean- it made for a good story and all but she was just a flirt in the end.
Then the day after that Honey was summoned by his Father who filled him in on everything while I tried to find my wig. After Honey came out I was summoned. One of the Royal Advisors was there and I was just told that I needed to be very careful and even though I was still ranked better than them so I could do whatever I wanted, that I shouldn't abuse that right. And he also said that no one in Denmark knew anything other than the fact that the King is in hospital and that I haven't left, so that it wouldn't spark riots and that they still didn't know who the assassins were. But that my Uncle was in temporary leadership but all the 'official' stuff was left with my court of staff. So pretty much 'No one knows what's going on so be careful'.
And yesterday was a weekend day so I just had some 'musical therapy' and practised with Honey in the dojo while telling him about Denmark. He was sympathetic but instead of treating me like a total pity case he just distracted me and tried to make me feel better. I like Honey; he is the best person I know.
Which leads us to today! We've decided to tell everyone that I've dyed my hair for the day until I find the wig. And who knows- maybe it'll be fine without it!
I got up and did the usual- shower, makeup, contacts, puffball yellow dress all with music playing. I dried my hair. It felt soo good to not have to wear that stupid wig anymore! And even though my hair is naturally curly I just curled it anyway so it would look professional and also so I could wear it out without looking like a jungle child.
I heard a knock at the door and quickly paused my music. "Hello? I'll be right there!" I said and quickly rushed to my bedroom door. I saw Mori standing there with a dumbstruck expression on his face.
"Who are you?" He grunted and made an attack position. I guess he hadn't seen the hair yet…
"I am a ninja sent here to get you all! Mwahahaha!" I said and sent my foot flying. He caught it and sent me into a spin. I fell to the floor and he held me down. "Why are you wearing that uniform?" he yelled and I grabbed his arm and made a flip over the top of him and grabbed his tie and pulled him down. "Mori, it's me!" I giggled.
His expression was mixed, I thought he looked angry but then relieved. "Yeah, I dyed my hair for the day but I thought a simple hair colour wouldn't change a person! This is my natural colour but I dyed my hair blonde a while ago so I changed it back!"
"Mitskuni wants you." He grunted and looked at me. And I thought I'm around the same size as Honey- so I should ask…
"Hey Mori? Can I have a piggyback? Please? I promise I'm not too heavy!" I asked with big fake blue contact eyes.
He just smiled at me and crouched down. This is why I like Mori too, because his love for small things means he likes me. And he's nice and understanding but also has a wild side that pokes out for milliseconds at a time which means he's not just a boring giant.
"The hair looks good on you. You should keep it." He said as he piggybacked me down a hallway.
"Well I just might then!" I said sweetly and hugged him. It's funny how affectionate Mori can be when you get to know him. I've even seen him with little birds and rabbits out near the forest after the garden. Apparently there is a forest temple and a waterfall trail out there but I haven't been yet.
"Hey Ali-chan! Thanks Takashi!" he said and ruffled Mori's hair. I hopped off him and redid his hair in the five second time limit before it becomes awkward. "So why did you want to see me?" I asked and he led me into the dining room.
"Tadaaa!" he said and watched my extraordinary expression at the sight. The entire big table was filled with cake of all different shapes and sizes.
"Umm Honey?" I started but he cut me off saying "Sit down over here!" I wonder if he knew how I had never had cake before and even though he loves it I had been told it was a horrible concoction that would addict you and make you grow so fat you would explode. But I never really saw Honey getting any bigger so it mustn't be that bad…
I was fighting with myself that had been raised to never indulge and the one that was curious. But someone once told me that fighting with yourself was as good as giving up so I just gave in and sat down.
"Now ladies first, so pick whatever you want Ali-chan!" Honey declared and made a gesture to the entire table. I could see he wanted to start so I quickly picked the one closest to me that had a big bit of chocolate on top. "That's a chocolate cheesecake!" he cutely whispered to me. I got a tiny little fork and got a tiny bit off the tip and tentatively held it to my mouth. I popped it in and Oh. My. Gosh. I absolutely love it! I finished the cake within a few minutes and looked across the table. Wow! Honey had already finished his 50 maybe 70th cake! Well I knew he was fast but we usually ate at different times so I had never really witnessed it, and it was quite extraordinary! I saw a shadow near the door and I saw what looked like Chika quickly rushing away. I wonder why he didn't just come in and join us; it would've been nice to get to chat with him…
I finished a tiny little tart and I was full. I'd never had food as sweet as that before and it was really overpowering. "So, did you like it?" Honey said like it was nothing at all.
"I absolutely loved it Honey!" I said back and smiled. "Even though I could only eat two it was a very nice experience!" I said back.
"You've never eaten sweets before, have you?" Mori looked at me.
"Well, no I haven't." I said back politely.
"So what sort of foods do you like then?" Mori grunted. Yay! I was having an actual conversation with him!
"Tangy, sour and light foods. And mostly fruit and salad." I beamed back at him. We chatted for a little while longer and I left to get my bag beaming. I was on a little bit of a high from talking for more than a couple of words with Mori when we got to Ouran. And that mood lasted all until homeroom.
A few kids looked at me for my changed hair colour but I ignored the and sat down next to Kaoru and the teacher went through the role and the announcements for the week. "Now class, there are no set classes for tomorrow as we have physical examinations! I hope you've been working hard to get a good score!" Sensei said and smiled. Me and Haruhi looked confused and asked the twins what it was when we got out.
"Oh it's just physical exams, just like any other school." Hikaru said with his hands folded behind his head.
"They just take your height, weight, breathing, y'know the normal stuff." Kaoru boringly stated as he copied his brother.
"Weight?!" I said and trembled a little. When I was little, I was really chubby for a while so I was put on an extreme diet and had to practise martial arts for 4 hours per day. All my maids snapped at me to be skinny and pretty as a princess should be and I wasn't allowed to be seen in public that much. I grew quite self-conscious and over trained and refused to eat that much. I lost my puppy fat when I was 10 but I still don't like it when people talk about weight or anything like that. And here I was eating cake before a weight exam!
"Don't worry Alice; you are pretty skinny as it is." Haruhi reassured me.
"But I've been eating cake all morning with Honey!" I said and my voice rose a little bit.
"Why, how much did you eat?" the twins looked at me.
"A cheesecake and a tart!" I said and my face grew red.
"So let me get his straight- you were eaten cake with the one and only sugar tooth king Honey-senpai, and that's all you ate?" Hikaru said and started laughing.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine!" Haruhi said and gave me a thumbs up. We kept walking and I just spaced out for the rest of the day until we were at the Host Club.
It was a flower viewing reception. I was stunned at how beautiful everything was! And there was even a little river with a bamboo chute like at Honey's!
The boys went on about the flowers and each other so I just sat down next to a stream and watched the cherry blossoms float down.
"I see you've changed your hair. Surprising, I saw a mysterious girl with that exact colour at the ball." Kyoya smirked and left. I should've known he would be the only one to make the connection. He just wouldn't give up would he?
I continued to look at the stream and then I heard a splashing sound. I turned to see Honey mixing some wasabi, well more like spilling it with Haruhi, Mori and two guests watching. I giggled a little at his face- he looked so serious.
"Um Honey?" I walked over and sat down "I think you might've-"
"Mistkuni, you over did it." Mori said flat out.
Haruhi and the guest looked shocked at Mori. Honey just tragically stared at his ruined dish but the girls then smiled at him.
"Oh Honey-senpai! This is the perfect amount!"
"Yes, how could you have known?" The guest said enthusiastically and took what looks to be one drop each. I thought the point of a Host club was for the Host's to entertain the girls but this looks to be the other way round.
"Really?" Honey said and smiled. I looked at Haruhi and she looked like saying "Oh good grief". And I couldn't blame her, not one bit…
All the guests left and the twins kidnapped Haruhi so I just sat down with Honey and Mori. "Hey Honey, do you know how to whisk the wasabi?" I asked and he shook his head. "Here, if you do it like this…" I said and put some more in the bowl. We just sat there for a while and I showed Mori as well.
"Wow! How do you know how to do this?" Honey asked when Mori left to go and put the extra food away and to get something to taste the wasabi.
"Well when I was younger a noble family from China came to live with us for a week and a bit. Their youngest daughter was 15 at the time and she taught me how to make this. A few months after that I remember they were caught in an explosion and she was the only one that survived. She came to stay with us for another week after that and she helped me perfect my techniques. I think after that she had elite bodyguards to follow her around and was under lots of protection so I never saw her again." I said and smiled.
Mori returned with some tiny silver spoons and we dug in. I loved spicy food but I saw Honey and Mori's faces were bright red. "I guess I made it too hot for you guys huh." I said to myself quietly and went to find some milk. The boys started to race around looking for something to stop the burning in their mouths and I giggled. Their faces were hilarious. But then Honey went to the stream and cupped some water in his hands and held it up to his face.
"NOO HONEY STOP!" I shouted and ran to him. It felt like everything was going in slow motion and I slapped it out of his hands and he looked at me incredulously. But as I did this I fell into the stream.
"ALICE!" The twins and Haruhi shouted as they rushed to me. Time sped up to normal again and Kyoya handed Mori a drink and held one to Honey. Honey took it and kept looking at me like, like I don't know…
"Why would you do that?" Tamaki asked me.
"Water makes wasabi worse. I didn't exactly have time to do anything else. And you better not do anything that stupid again Honey." I said and smiled at him. "We gotta look out for each other"
We all started laughing and Mori helped me up. "And don't think I didn't hear what you guys were talking about, dearest Mother" I said and looked at Kyoya with a wink. Ha Mr Ootori, I win this one.
Me and the guys then packed up and headed to the parking lot for our rides home. Apparently now I'm meant to be helping them with tomorrow's physical exam. I hope at least that will go to plan now…
