Chapter 9
The host club was all going according to plan, everything was perfectly set up and Renge had come up with a plan to bring Kaoru and Amaya's relationship into the act.
"Kaoru, how could you… even…" Hikaru trailed off there, with a tear trailing down his cheek, Kaoru was feeding Amaya a bit of cake when Hikaru walked in on the scene, immediately the girls watching took noticed and watched intently. And as this was the first time this act was being tested… Kyouya took special noticed and watched along with the girls.
The girls noticed has Kaoru just continued feeding Amaya the sweet tasting cake as Hikaru stared at him
"Kaoru… Kaoru… how could you even… replace me with her?" Hikaru whispered the last bit, his head lowered to the side, another shimmering tear falling down his cheek as Kaoru's eyes widened and he visibly froze in place, Amaya moved her head to the side and lowered it in shame, her bangs lowering over her amethyst eyes, and then a sly smirk crossed her porcelain face (yay for make-up that makes u look perfect!).
"Oh Hikaru," she spoke in a dark tone, "you're positively adorable," she laughed sadistically, then in two swift movements, Hikaru found himself pinned to the seat his brother and Amaya had just vacated. The girls watched in shock and awe as Kaoru and his girlfriend loomed over the surprised Hitachiin. "Kaoru," she spoke in a powerful voice as he smirked and ran his thumb over the wet marks on his brothers' cheeks
"Kaoru…" Hikaru breathed; his eyes wide, a pink tint to his cheeks. The girls moved forward slightly, wondering what was going to happen to the shocked twin as Amaya laughed let out a soft dark and brief chuckle
"Kaoru my dear" she purred, running a crimson finger nail down the youngest twins back slowly, a shudder ran down Kaoru's back as he leaned closer to the older twin, by now almost everyone had their eyes on the trio, Kyouya looked around then proceeded to smirk and write down next times activities. "punish him for interrupting us," she ordered as Kaoru immediately leaned forward and pressed his nose against Hikaru's neck, to the girls watching the move looked like Kaoru was biting his brother… nose bleeds and squeals all around as Hikaru faked a loud and sharp gasp, his mouth lingering open to let out a low and quiet moan which was drowned out by the girls squealing. What Hikaru DID feel however, was his brothers' smirk against his neck. Another fake gasp got more squeals as Amaya grinned.
"Ehem, I believe it is time for the clubs activities to end, my apologies my dears…" Kyouya announced as the girls groaned in dissatisfaction before getting up and leaving.
"Wow!" Amaya laughed as she plopped down onto the couch next to the smirking twins.
"You three were very convincing today," Kyouya smiled "Amaya your drama skills were definitely A star" he complimented as she smiled "and you two had everyone staring, very profitable," he smiled then a sound alerted them…
"HOHOHOHOHOH!" a high pitched laugh erupted from the centre of the room as a large pedestal spiralled up from the floor.
"….. Someone aught to put a muzzle on her or something…" Amaya drawled as Kaoru smirked and wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"That was WONDERFUL!" Renge cheered, she was dressed in some type of winter clothing, probably a cosplay or something.
"Nani…?" both twins mumbled in curiosity
"What does this Otaku want now?" Hikaru grumbled, leaning his chin on Kaoru's shoulder.
"The performance was breathtaking, the rare dominance of Kaoru, the strict behaviour of Amaya, the rare submission from Hikaru, it was all so fresh and new!" Renge cheered through her randomly appearing microphone "But…" her voice became a little darker "you took the attention from everyone else… the customers were too involved with watching you three perform… there is no point in having the others if you steal all the attention!" she frowned as Kyouya nodded his agreement
"So the trio is a no-go?" Kaoru asked curiously, a small pout on his face as he nuzzled Amaya's neck
"I suggest you tone it down slightly… maybe Hikaru could flirt with Amaya and Kaoru get all steamed up about it… something that will show the possessive side of Kaoru" Renge rambled as she giggled evilly.
"… You have a possessive side?" Hikaru blinked at Kaoru as he shrugged
"Apparently I do…" he blinked back at his brother, the same clueless look on his face.
"And you never told me?!" Hikaru feigned a hurt look
"Oh Kaoru, how could you keep something like this from us?!" Amaya dramatized as her and Hikaru faked a crying spree.
"But…but… oh dear!" he then burst into fake tears and joined the crying spree as the rest of the hosts just stared at them confused.
"Are they mocking me?" Renge asked curiously as Haruhi sweat dropped
"Kinda," she replied smiling sheepishly as all three shot up with grins on their faces.
"… REHEARSE IT" she ordered then disappeared back into the floor.
"She worries me," Amaya said after a long silence.
----
"I'll see you tomorrow Kaoru," Amaya smiled as she gave Kaoru a quick peck on the cheek
"Seya, you want picking up tomorrow morning?" Kaoru asked as Hikaru watched them
"Sure!" she smiled enthusiastically
"Need a lift?" Hikaru asked
"Nah, Bens gonna come meet me here," Amaya smiled as both twins nodded, Kaoru hugged her then jumped into the Limo, Hikaru winked and repeated the action.
"Seya tomorrow, Amaya" Hikaru smiled and closed the door. She smiled and waved as the Limo pulled away from the curb and drove off
"Amaya… I found out who got sent" Alex spoke through the ear-piece with a solemn voice.
"Who?" she asked seriously
"You're not gonna like it…" he replied, she could hear the tapping of the computer he was working on through the mic
"Just say the name Alex…. I'd love to know who's on my hit list next" she growled
"Claudia." Was the only word he had to utter, he flinched slightly as a loud angered scream of fury erupted from the young assassin.
"When?!" she snarled angrily
"She was sent out two days ago, apparently your mission took too long, JJ thought you'd been killed so he sent her, now he knows you're not he cant get her back, she's disappeared into the wood-work like she usually does… you're gonna have to be careful now Amaya, there are tons of vantage points at that school, I've noticed at least 17 from just looking over the blue-prints of it" he explained, knowing he was just furthering her anger.
"Have Ben sort out my weapons for training… I'm gonna need them now," she sighed, rubbing her temples.
"Yes ma'am… I'll also have him sort out a coffee or something for you" Alex spoke, a smile crossed his face, she could tell by the tone in his voice.
"Just tell me one thing Alex…" she mumbled
"What?" he asked curiously
"… Has she ever specified what she wants on her grave-stone?" she asked as Alex laughed
"I'm sure you'll get it out of her. Check out the vantage points, I'm linking the files to your phone now… make sure none of her equipment is present… scope it out and make sure that you know how much of the school she could see from those points." He instructed as she nodded and took out her phone, and then smiled as the files popped up on her screen.
"Will do, take a break Alex… I won't need you for a while now," she smiled as he chuckled and nodded
"Signing off!" he laughed and cut the connection. Unbeknownst to her, there was a witness to this. As she walked off… Kyouya walked out of the shadows.
"I knew something had to be up…" he sighed and took out his phone.
"Ootori Kyouya-san… how can I help you?" a smooth voice asked over the phone
"I have a small problem… I need about 40 of the armed guards surrounding Ouran at all times… it seems there is a killer on the premises" he spoke seriously as the voice made a soft sound of surprise
"O-of course Ootori-san" came the swift reply as Kyouya closed the phone and walked off to his awaiting limousine.
---------
About an hour into her training Ben walked into the room with a cold drink
"Someone's at the door for you, Phee" Ben smiled as she nodded, wiped her forehead, took a drink then ran upstairs. She was wearing a white sports bra/top and a pair of loose fitting black flowing pants and some totes.
When she opened the door she was greeted by someone she didn't expect to see…
"Kyouya… umm, can I help you?" she asked curiously
"May I come in?" he asked as she nodded and let him through
"Take a seat" she shrugged and led him through into the front room where he sat down and watched her copy his action opposite him. "So what's up?" she asked curiously.
"It has come to my attention that someone is after the twins," he explained as she mentally gulped "and by 'after' I mean someone means to kill them." He sighed, taking out his book
"What's this got to do with me?" she asked, narrowing her amethyst eyes at the shadow king
"All evidence points to YOU, Amaya Nakamura" he narrowed his own dark eyes at her dangerously
"Look Kyouya, I wouldn't hurt Kaoru even if someone paid me to do it… nor would I hurt Hikaru, Kaoru's the only person to ever like me in that way and Hikaru's not that bad either, so don't accuse if you don't have the facts," she growled, standing up.
"Your little conversation with someone today outside of Ouran was proof enough," he replied simply as she froze
"Alright Kyouya… what do you want?" she asked after a few minutes
"Are you, yes or no?" he asked "and be truthful Amaya," he advised
"It's a bad idea to come here an ask this crap… alone," Ben commented from the door "I thought you were the smart one," he chuckled and shook his head, walking back out.
"Ignore him…. Kyouya, I said I wouldn't hurt them… I couldn't, no matter what anyone did; I'd have to protect them. You're right, it started out as me being hired to kill them, but I honestly couldn't now," she sighed, lowering her head as he stood up and nodded.
"Why are you still here if you're not going to do your job?" he asked seriously, fixing his glasses on his nose.
"My boss sent out the bitch of Eastwick after thinking I failed… she's lurking around the place now… if I leave, they die; simple." She explained softly, running a hand through her short hair.
"Who hired you?" he asked with narrowed eyes
"THAT truly is classified," she sweat-dropped "I cannot disclose that information as the hirer has tried to null the contract." She explained shrugging her shoulders.
"Hmm… I'm guessing only I know about this then?" he asked as she nodded
"And don't tell anyone, the only way I can keep those boys safe is having them clueless about my identity, you tell them and they'll never trust me and be dead before the first bell in school." She explained as Kyouya frowned in shock "yeah, she works fast." Amaya sighed and sat back down "now you understand?" she asked as he nodded and wrote something down.
"You should tell Kaoru, Amaya… he'll be hurt if he finds out for himself." He spoke softly then walked out the room "I'll show myself out," he called, the slamming of the door following his call.
"So he knows?" Ben asked curiously
"Yeah… Shadow King knows that I'm not who I say I am… but he never got my real name, the bitch's… or anything else, just a bit of information." She smiled as Ben nodded and walked over to the table then picked up a pen Kyouya had left.
"Hey-hey Lookie here," Ben grinned and poked the pen childishly
"What?" Amaya asked curiously
"It's bugged!" he smirked and poked it again
"Stop poking it" she face-palmed as he pouted and did it again once more before giving it to her.
"Dooooo iiiiit" he egged her on as she smirked, took a deep breath then screamed as loud as she could down the small device. A few miles away in an office room, three people yelped, threw off a pair of headphones and fell off their chairs in shock.
