Chapter 10: lol it's this one.
But I can't believe I'm on chapter 10. I have never written a story this long before. And I'm having a debate (with myself) whether I should do first-person POV or third-person POV. Oh well... I'll play around with them ;P.
Chapter 10 – To Australia!
::Normal POV::
"Kaoru, I..." Hikaru's jaw trembled. "I... give up."
It was now the Christmas Break and we were on our trip to Australia. Of course Hikaru still had feelings for Haruhi. He couldn't just get over her in a fortnight or two. But since then he acted as if he didn't care about Haruhi. He just wanted the pain to go away. Even Haruhi noticed that Hikaru was starting to avoid her. Hikaru just wished that he would be spared from this pain soon.
"K-K-Kyoya..." stuttered Tamaki. "Is that an Onigama plane??" He froze in fear. Kaoru smirked. Tamaki never got over this fear.
"Why pass on a free flight? The Onigamas would give us free flights anywhere," Kyoya simply answered.
Tamaki hugged Kyoya's legs. "Is 'she' there?" he whined.
Kyoya looked quite annoyed. "That information is irrelevant at the moment."
"B-b-but..." Tamaki's tears poured out of his eyes.
Kyoya sighed. Everyone made their way inside the plane (though Kyoya struggled to get in because Tamaki was still clinging on his leg.)
"Thank you for choosing Onigama airlines," Onigama Toukai, the pilot said with a huge grin. "Please sit down and enjoy your flight." She smiled right at Tamaki. Hikaru and Kaoru snickered. Toukai didn't change at all.
"GAH!!! I'm getting about out of here!!" yelled Tamaki. Once he was about to step out, the door slammed shut on his face.
"Oops, sorry Tamaki," apologized Haruhi. "I didn't realize that button was for the door." Haruhi looked at him innocently and rubbed the back of her head.
"Oh don't worry, daughter," Tamaki exclaimed overdramatically. "Daddy's strong! He can withstand anything."
"Boo."
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!" screamed Tamaki. Toukai had crept behind him.
Hikaru and Kaoru clapped. "Wow... You're so talented. Teach us how to torture Tono better, sensei!" Everybody sweat dropped.
"And you don't ask me for advice?" retorted Yumi. (Actually they did...)
Toukai patted Tamaki's back firmly. "Why are you so scared of me Tamaki?" She put on a fake grin. "It's not like I'm going to crash the plane or something."
"AHH!" Tamaki grabbed Haruhi. "She is going to crash the plane!"
Haruhi sweat dropped. "She was being sarcastic Tamaki-senpai."
"You don't know her like I do."
That was so very true. Haruhi had no idea what she could and would do. Hikaru and Kaoru, unfortunately, knew what Tamaki was talking about...
"WEEEEE!!! This is fun!!!"
"Mom!Ow. You're actually – ow – enjoying this?Ow," Hikaru cried out.
Hikaru and Kaoru were so naive to get on Toukai's plane. They never knew that Toukai was practicing – for her AIR SHOW!
"Ow." Hikaru hit his arm against the table.
"Ow." Kaoru hit his head on the floor.
And once they landed Toukai screamed at them for 'crashing' her plane. (The better word for her to use would have been 'trashing') But they left a big mess behind... They should have probably put their seatbelts on. But if Toukai wasn't doing flips with her plane, they wouldn't have 'crashed' the place. To think that she's Tamaki's cousin is just... scary. There's no resemblance.
"Haven't I seen you before?" Yumi examined Toukai's face.
"Uh..."
"You sang at my birthday!" exclaimed Yumi and pointed her finger in front of her face.
"You're probably talking about my sister," mentioned Toukai. Many people got them mixed up. "Hey, wait a moment... She only sings at birthdays for cele-"
"HAHAHAHAHA," Yumi started laughing out of nowhere. "AHAHA! You're right. I wouldn't be able to afford getting Onigama Yuui to sing at my birthday." Kyoya slapped his forehead. He knew that some people would get suspicious. But then again, Yuui was a famous singer so the fact that she knows Yuui wouldn't be so odd.
"Hey, Kai-chan, you know English, ne?" asked Hani out of the blue.
"Of course! I'm a pilot, aren't I?" answer Toukai. "I need to learn other languages."
"Ooo! Ooo! Can you speak in English with an Australian accent?" asked Hani eagerly. Hani was thinking about his childhood friend, Chiyeko, in Australia.
Toukai bent down to Hani's height. "Do you know what's even better? I can speak English with a Japanese accent!" she said mockingly.
"Oooo! I wanna hear!" Hani cried out fervently.
Toukai sweat dropped. She couldn't believe that Hani could be as dense as Tamaki. "So... How is the host club doing?" She asked.
"Quite well actually," stated Kyoya.
"Out of curiousity," started Hikaru. "Which type do you think suits you Toukai?"
"The prince type," Kaoru chimed in, "the cool type, the little devil type, the loli-shota type, the wild type, or the natural type?"
Toukai thought for a moment. "I would say cool type out of those."
"So you would choose me as your host?" Kyoya smirked.
"Okay never mind," she said and looked away once she found out that the cool type was Kyoya.
"Why didn't you choose the prince?" whined Tamaki.
"Uh... Because I figured that it would be you," she said flatly.
"But- But- I get most of the customers."
Hikaru smirked. "And you still didn't get your first kiss."
"And you still don't have a girlfriend yet," laughed Toukai. "Hey Hikaru! Do you know about the time Tamaki fell off the treadmill?"
"AHAHA! He fell off?" Hikaru was enjoying himself. "How?"
"He was so fascinated at how I could run on it and stay in one spot at the same time," she recalled. "And then he wanted to try it. But what he didn't know was that I cranked up the speed all the way."
Hikaru laughed hysterically. "Tono's so stupid. AHAHA! Oh Toukai there was one time during the host club where Tamaki..."
Kaoru smiled at the sight. Hikaru was smiling and laughing again (at Tamaki's expense).
Toukai finally drove the airplane off and they were on our way to Australia.
But after five minutes...
"I'm bored," complained Hani.
"Hm... How about a riddle?" replied Yumi.
"Okay!"
"Sure!" Yumi smiled brightly. "I got one: What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?"
As Hani was trying to figure out the answer, Kaoru turned to Mori. He didn't look so well. "Mori, are you alright?" Kaoru asked.
"I'm sick." Mori had been very worried out Yumi. He knew how precious pets were. So in the midst of the snow, he looked for Yumi's ferret, Soie. He concluded that he would have the easiest time finding it considering his natural instincts but even though it has been over a month of searching, he still couldn't find Soie.
"Oh," replied Kaoru. "Then why did you come on the trip?"
"Mitsukuni wouldn't want to go if Hisoka and I didn't come," he told Kaoru. Hani would have been worried about Mori if he stayed home while he was on the trip. It would be a waste if Hani didn't come on this trip when Tamaki and Kyoya went to all that trouble planning it. So, naturally, Mori, being the benevolent character that he was, insisted on coming.
"I can't think of anything," sobbed Hani.
Kyoya sighed. "It's a towel," he stated plainly. "Or a tissue, or a cloth, or other various items used to dry things."
Yumi gave Kyoya a sharp look. "That's right," she said flatly. She wanted Hani to answer. "Okay Hani, what's something you can hold and catch but never touch?"
"Your breath," answered Kyoya with a sneer and crossed his arms.
"I didn't ask you," snapped Yumi. "Fine! What can you catch but can't throw, Kyoya?"
"A cold."
"What can you put in a bucket to make it lighter but put it in a boat to make it sink?"
"A hole."
"What smells bad when it's alive but smells good when it's dead?"
"..." Kyoya actually didn't know this one. Yumi's smile grew wide. Hani gawked in awe. Kaoru snickered. Mori... was just Mori. "What the heck would smell good when it's dead?" asked Kyoya.
"A pig," answered Mori.
Kaoru thought that over for a moment. "BUHAHAHAHA! That's so true!" He laughed. "Wait..." He pondered. "Pigs smell bad?"
"I don't know," answered Yumi. "That's what most people say. I haven't seen a live pig before."
"Damn rich kids," mumbled Haruhi.
"How did you know these riddles Hisoka?" asked Hani curiously.
"Oh. I had to learn these riddles for work," replied Yumi.
Kyoya smirked. "And here I thought you were actually smart." Yumi rolled her eyes.
"You know..." Kaoru started. "Hisoka-chan's job is a riddle itself," he pointed out. Yumi tensed.
"Hisoka's job?" Haruhi commented. "It's better if you don't know it," she stated.
"You know?" asked Yumi anxiously.
"Yes." Uh oh for Yumi.
"How?" Yumi bit her lip.
Hani, Mori and Kaoru listened intently to their talk. They hoped that they'll spill something about her job. Haruhi noticed this. "Maybe I'll tell you later."
Tamaki suddenly entered the picture. (He finally got away from Toukai and Hikaru.) "What? Haruhi knows Hisoka-chan's secret job?"
Kaoru grinned. This gave him an idea. "Hey Hikaru!" he called him. "I have an idea for a contest!" Hikaru came over to the rest of the group. "Whoever figures out Hisoka's job by the end of this trip wins."
Yumi's eyes grew wide at first but then she broke out into a smile.
"Okay..." Hikaru didn't really seem very interested about Yumi's secret job. "So what's the reward?" he asked.
"You get closer to Haruhi," Kaoru told him, "since she knows her job. You'd be able to talk to her about it with other people not knowing what you're talking about." Kaoru grinned.
"I'm in!" stated Tamaki.
"I wanna join!" Hani chimed in.
"Ah."
"That's a great idea, Kaoru." Hikaru smiled hestitantly.
"So," Kaoru turned to Yumi. "What about it? Of course, naturally, you're that judge."
Yumi smiled. "Sure I'm in."
(A/N: Before you read the next scene, I just want to tell you that Onigama Toukai and her sister are not my characters but my sister's D. Oh and as I side note: Tamaki falling off the treadmill was based on a true story – created and performed by my sister. Toukai represented my sister and Tamaki represented my younger cousin. I just had to mention that lol.)
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Haruhi asked Yumi about the contest as they unpacked in their room. "They might actually find out that," she paused and her voice turned into a whisper, "that you're Yumi."
Yumi laughed. "Don't worry! I'm the judge right?" Haruhi nodded. "So I'm just going to see who can come up with the best answer and then that's going to be the right one." Yumi grinned. She had been wondering what she cover up job should be. This would be the easiest way to get a good one. She wouldn't have to think herself.
Haruhi giggled.
"What's so funny?" Yumi asked.
"You act like Kyoya."
"..." Yumi looked at her as if she had lost her brains. "I'm nothing like him." Haruhi just smiled. She didn't believe her... "Oh!" Yumi just remembered. "How did you know that I was Kyasarima Yumi?"
"The big give-away was Soie," said Haruhi. "You brought her to that party." Yumi's head fell. She knew she had to be more careful about these things. But it wasn't technically her fault. She didn't know that they were going to that party. And Soie just decided to hop into her bag.
"Why did we come to this resort anyway?" Yumi pondered out loud. "It's not even that great."
Haruhi sweat dropped and murmured, "Stupid rich kids," before she answered. "Hani-senpai said that Chiyeko's mother worked at this resort."
"Oh." But it looked as if she didn't anymore. Hani would have probably found Chiyeko by now. "So what's planned for tonight?"
"Tamaki said that we're going to go skating," mentioned Haurhi. "Chiyeko loved skating, according to Hani-senpai."
"Skating?" Yumi asked. Haruhi nodded. "Do they even know how to skate?"
She just had to ask...
"Okay slide your right foot forward and glide," Yumi instructed. Hikaru and Kaoru did as she told them but as they slid their right foot more and more forward, they slipped in unison and did the splits.
"Ow!" cried Kaoru and Hikaru. She sighed. This was going to be a long lesson. But it was entertaining.
Across the skating rink, Tamaki was teaching Haruhi how to skate. While Yumi was teaching Takashi and Mitsukuni, Hikaru and Kaoru asked her to teach them so they could teach Haruhi. Yumi didn't see the logic in that but she was happy that she had time to be with Kaoru.
"Where did you learn how to skate Hisoka?" asked Hikaru.
"At work."
Hikaru and Kaoru looked at each other. "Are you a professional skater?" they asked in unison.
"I can't tell you until at the end of the trip," she reminded them.
"Hey, Hisoka!" Hani called Yumi. "I found pylons to help us skate."
She skated over to the edge of the rink where he and Mori were. "Where did you get those?" she asked.
"Takashi found them outside."
Rrrrr... CRASH!
Yumi blinked several times. She didn't know how to react.
She just had to ask...
Not too far from them, Tamaki guided Haruhi as she skated. He held Haruhi's hands as he skated backwards. "Okay Haruhi, just push with your right foot and then balance and glide on your left."
Haruhi was nervous but she didn't want to show it. She had never been skating before. It looked so easy but the skates were so hard to move in and they were cramping her feet. How did people skate in these when you couldn't even move your ankles?
"C'mon Haruhi," encouraged Tamaki. "Don't be scared."
"I'm not," Haruhi snapped. So she pushed with her right foot (or at least tried to). But her toe pick got caught in the ice and fell forward.
Tamaki caught her. "Whoa... good thing I caught you," he stated the obvious.
"Yeah..." Haruhi said meekly. Her legs were wobbling. It was so difficult to stand on those skates. Tamaki helped Haruhi up but in doing so he fell backwards and Haruhi toppled onto him.
"Sorry, senpai," Haruhi apologized. They were now both on the ice. Haruhi quickly pushed on the ice with her hands to get off Tamaki only to see his purple eyes sparkling. She felt heat run up her cheeks. She felt like she had to get away from him.
He started to laugh. "HAHAHA. That's was so funny! I was supposed to help you up but I ended up falling instead!"
"Tamaki," Haruhi told him as she got up, "can you bring me back to the edge of the skating rink?"
"Okay." Tamaki again skated backwards as she held on. His grip was firm and it prevented her from falling. In contrast, she felt very unstable.
Once Haruhi got off the rink, she sat on the bench and watched the others. 'What just happened?' she thought to herself.
Kyoya skated in front of her. (But it couldn't really be classified as skating.) He was barely moving since he was observing everyone else and taking notes on their skating style and on how much they improved and so on. Then Hani skated up to him. (He learned pretty fast.)
"C'mon Kyoya," Hani tugged on Kyoya's arm. "You can do better."
"Hani-senpai, let go." But Hani pulled him with ease to Hisoka while Kyoya was struggling just to keep his balance.
"Here! Hisoka will teach you!" Hani smiled happily.
"No, Hani-senpai," insisted Kyoya. "I'm quite capable-." Kyoya lost his balance and pushed Hani over. He was able to regain his balance but Hani had fallen backwards onto Yumi.
"Are you okay, Mitsu-sensei?" Yumi asked, not showing her pain.
Hani turned over and faced Yumi. He helped himself up. "Yes," he answered. "I'm okay." Then he skated away from Kyoya and Yumi to Mori.
Mori noticed that Hani looked troubled. "Are you sure you're okay, Mitsukuni?"
Hani was troubled. He didn't know what to do. So he simply told his best friend. "I think I might like Hisoka..."
Hearing Hani's words, Mori focused his gaze on Yumi. What Hani had just told him troubled him also.
Finally done chapter 10. W00t! Thank you for those people who put my story on their alert list. I'm sorry that I made you guys wait so long.
