The Chapter That Comes After Nine

Honey's Plan

There was something off about Mistkuni.

Something very off.

First part of the day:

"Saaaaaaaaaadiiiiiieee," Mistkuni called, smiling like he found the cure for cancer. I turned around, smiling back.

"What's up?"

"I was wondering," Mistkuni started, twiddling his thumbs and looking up at me, "Would you…like to…" He trailed off. By this point it was all I could do not to pounce on him. He was so damn cute!

"Like to what?"

"Would you…like to…come watch a movie with me?" He gave me the look that no person with a heart could ever resist. His eyes were wider and more innocent than ever before, his hands were clasped together, and his bottom lip was trembling.

If you can resist that, you are a monster.

"S-Sure, when?" I asked, trying to look away. Mistkuni instantly brightened up.

"Tonight! I'll give you the directions to my house, okay?" He said. I smiled back.

Did he just ask me out?

Second part of the day:

"Oh, hey Sadie," Jason said as I walked over to him.

"Hey Jason, I was wondering if you could help me on this problem here," I pulled out my math book and pointed to an equation. Jason nodded along.

"Oh, that's easy. All you have to do is-"

Who do you think he was cut off by?

"Saaaaaadiiiiiie, the host club needs you to start baking! We need more sweets than usual today!" Mistkuni called, grabbing my hand. I left a very confused Jason Valentyne standing in the doorway.

Third part of the day:

"Let me help you out here, Sadie," Mistkuni said as he reached over me to get the eggs.

"Uh, thank you, Mistkuni, but I had it under control," I said, smiling. Mistkuni shook his head.

"I must be a gentleman and help you out whenever I can,"

I frowned, putting my hands on my hips, "I'm not weak, you know,"

Mistkuni's eyes widened as he quickly shook his head.

"I-I-I-I know that, Sadie!" He said quickly, putting his hands up, Crap, I'm totally screwing this up! He thought to himself. I didn't mean to use my powers to read his mind, but it just sorta happened.

I rose one eyebrow, "What exactly are you screwing up, Mistkuni?"

Mistkuni had the look of a deer in headlights.

"I-I-I-I thought you said you didn't like to read minds, Sadie?" Mistkuni said, trying to use his cute act again. Normally it would have worked, except for the fact that I was on to him now.

"I don't, but your thoughts were screaming so loud that I had no choice but to hear them," I said, "What are you trying to pull here?"

Mistkuni looked a bit fallen, twiddling his thumbs together and looking up at me every so often. He looked like he was trying to decide something.

"Mistkuni…" I muttered, "Just come out with it,"

The only word I heard was "Fine," before I was slammed up against the fridge, Mistkuni right in my face.

Anybody order some personal space?

"Sadie, I won't beat around the bush," He said, his voice still high like a little kid's, made it hard to take him seriously, "And I have something to tell you,"

I gulped.

"W-What?" I didn't know if I liked him being that close or not. Half of me wanted to kiss him right there and then, the other half wanted to kick him in the balls and run for it.

It's a good thing I was indecisive.

"Sadie…." Mistkuni stood up to his full height (not much) and looked me in the eyes.

"I'm in love with you,"

OOOOOOoooooOOOOOO

Saki P.O.V.

"Yvette's coming tomor-row, She's coming tomor-row," I sang as I skipped down the halls of Ouran Academy. That's right, bitches. SKIPPED. I rule the world.

Hikaru and Kaoru walked on both sides of me, seemingly interested and bored at the same time. Only twins could pull that off. Hikaru sighed.

"Geez, Saki, you've been singing that all day. Doesn't your voice hurt?" He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I scoffed and laughed at the same time.

"Not at all~" I sang more. Both the twins groaned and hung their heads.

"If you won't stop singing," Hikaru said, lifting his head up to reveal an evil smile. I gulped. Kaoru did the same, grinning like a madman,

"Then we'll just have to make you!" They both leapt upon me, Hikaru with his hands over my mouth and Kaoru pulling out duck tape. My eyes widened.

"MMM," I struggled against his hands, "EEY, MI MO MU MA MEA ME, MMM MEH!" Translation,

"HEY! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME, STOP IT!"

That's about it.

Hikaru grinned evilly as I twisted beneath him. I blushed. That sounded so wrong.

"Kaoru, have you got it ready?" Kaoru nodded. Hikaru laughed.

"Then do it!"

Kaoru took Hikaru's position and pressed the duct tape to my mouth. As I struggled against it, he leaned down and blew in my ear. In my moment of shock he flipped me over, putting the duct tape around my arms and legs.

"MM MM MM MM!" Translation: You'll pay for this!

"Oh really?" Hikaru said, copying his brother's pose, "I'd just love to see the compensation," He turned to Kaoru, "Let's get her,"

If any of you did not just get a chill down your back, then you all are cold and heartless.

The twins (I now refused to call them by name,) both hoisted me up, attaching a random rope to me and trying to hang me from the ceiling. By now I learned that struggling was pointless. But pocket knives weren't.

I quickly cut through my bindings (that just sounded so wrong,) and ripped the duct tape off my feet. Hikaru and Kaoru were standing there with horrified expressions, equally scared of what might come. I chuckled after ripping the tape off my mouth.

"Boys," I asked, walking closer to them, "Let me ask you a question,"

Hikaru gulped, "W-What is it?"

"Do you believe in God?"

OOOOOOoooooOOOOOO

Hikaru P.O.V.

Needless to say, I learned a very important lesson that day.

Don't. Mess. With. Saki.

"Have you learned your lesson?" Saki asked. I gulped, nodding. She instantly went from her serial killer expression to a happy one barfing rainbows and butterflies all around.

"Good then! Now let's go home, I'm tired," She yawned, completely forgetting about the beaten and bruised Kaoru and me. Let me explain what dear Nee-chan had done to us:

After getting out of her trap, she quickly took the roll of duct tape from Kaoru and tied us both together. Then, she took more of the damn Chinese-handcuff string (I thought she threw it away!) and wrapped it around us. Then (yes, there's more,) She used the remaining duct tape, hoisted us over the chandelier, and kept threatening to drop us if we talked at all.

The rest, I couldn't say for fear of getting arrested for civilian disturbance.

Yeah. It was that bad.

I glared at her, already plotting revenge. The look on Kaoru's face said he thought the same exact thing.

He looked at me, "It's a bad idea, Hikaru," I nodded, looking back at Saki.

"But a needed one all the same,"

OOOOOOoooooOOOOOO

Tamaki, as anyone with a decent mind could have noticed, was bound to be a little annoying at times. Just a little. Like right now. Yeah. Right. Fucking. Now.

"Oh, beautiful maiden," Tamaki was experimenting with a not-so-new hosting technique, which would have been fine, had he not been doing it with Saki.

Dear Lord, why is everything sounding so wrong?

"Just think," He held her hands as Saki put on an unreadable deadpan expression, "Oh, I cannot live with it, with you and Haruhi, always with those shady twins," He used eye-drops for tears, "OH HOW WORRIED I AM FOR MY DAUGHTERS!" He spun around elegantly. Saki clenched her fists.

"If it's really your daughters you're worried about," She held up her head, a frightful expression on her face, "Then I suggest you stop kissing my fist, if you catch my drift,"

Tamaki got the message and backed away at the speed of light.

Kaoru and I both shared a look. What is this girl afraid of? I wondered to myself. She's completely fearless…

"Hey, Kaoru," I said, still staring at our cousin, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"You shouldn't have to ask,"

We both shared the same expression and snuck behind Saki, Kaoru putting his hands over her eyes and me snaking my hands around her hips.

Needless to say, Saki was very good at impersonating a rock.

Nobody's P.O.V.

Saki froze up the minute her 'brothers' started…touching her. "Nee-chan…" Hikaru whispered tauntingly, "Can you…tell us something?" He chuckled. Kaoru whispered in her ear, "Oh look, Hikaru, she's shaking," He mocking laughed in a soft way, "Could it be…does this scare you…" He and his brother both finished at the same time, "…Nee-chan?"

Saki wasn't shaking due to fear.

She gave out a loud battle cry and turned around, hitting the two boys straight into the sky…er…ceiling.

"YOU DAMN PERVERTS!" She yelled, "YOU'RE GONNA REGRET THAT!"

OOOOOOoooooOOOOOO

"Alright, take two," Hikaru said as he prepared to sneak around Saki. He turned to Kaoru, "Have you got it?" His brother nodded. Hikaru gave a hand signal, "Go,"

Kaoru snuck around, carrying a bucket in hand. Saki sat peacefully, reading a book. Nerd, Hikaru thought.

Kaoru suddenly jumped up, dropping the bucket of plastic snakes, spiders, and any other critters (I'm from Texas, I say critters ^_^) They could find. However, Saki remained emotionless, only to look at Kaoru with a cool, icy glare.

"Kaoru," She said. He shakily nodded.

"What?"

"Don't interrupt me when I'm reading,"

That was the most frightening sentence Kaoru had ever heard.

Hikaru P.O.V.

This frustrated me to no end. What was my cousin afraid of? She was just like Haruhi, but I seriously doubted that Saki was afraid of lightning.

I jumped higher than I ever had before when I felt a sudden hand on my shoulder. Turning around slowly, it was Saki.

"If you want to know what I'm afraid of," She started, "Then I'll tell you,"

My face deadpanned, "It was that easy?"

"Well, you never asked,"

"True,"

"Kaoru, get over here!" She called to my partner in crime. When he finally came over, she looked at us so seriously we thought someone had died.

"My fear is of being alone,"

I blinked.

Kaoru blinked.

Suddenly, Kaoru out his hand on her shoulder, smiling at her like he did to Haruhi. No way, I thought, Kaoru's got a thing for our cousin! But, why am I not disgusted by it? I was cut out of my thoughts when Kaoru began to speak.

"I can relate to that Nee-chan. I really can," He leaned in and gave her a friendly hug, one which she stiffly returned.

I didn't like that. Not one bit.

"Trust me, Saki," I said, causing her to turn to me, "With us, you'll be wishing you were alone,"

She smiled at me, not any kind of evil grin, but a real smile. My heart wouldn't beat.

"Thank you, Hikaru,"

Oh shit. Oh shit oh shit oh shit.
