Amaya knew something was up, she just didn't know what it was and it was ticking her off. Her friend was planning something, and it had to do with her too, she could feel it. If she didn't find out soon she was going to threaten Kiyomi within an inch of her life tonight so she could find out.
Putting her hand to her forehead she massaged her temples trying ward away the oncoming headache. She looked up in surprise when Kyoya held out two aspirin and a bottle of water for her.
"Thanks" Amaya said taking the pills from him and downing them quickly. She had still missed the looks he had given her earlier, but that couldn't be helped really.
"You're welcome" He told her smiling slightly. Amaya blinked, did he just smile. Shaking her head she looked away and noticed an antique store.
"KIYOMI WE HAVE TO GO IN!" She shouted dragging her best friend into the old store.
She didn't bother to look at the rest of the group as they followed her, browsing the items thoroughly. Her eyes fell on a couple pieces; the one that really caught her eyes was an old Victorian cameo (One with a lady on it) chocker. The chain was delicate rose gold, and the whole thing was rather expensive, not that money was an issue. She ended up buying a sapphire ring that was cheaper than the necklace, and rose gold heart locket that suited Haruhi really well. Of course she also bought Kiyomi a garnet ring with a white gold setting, and the manager told them stories about each piece. Giving one last glance at the necklace they walked out of the shop.
"I love antique stores!" Amaya said dreamily.
"And I love roller coasters!" Kiyomi said smirking.
I don't think Amaya noticed, but as she paid for her items in the antique store, I pulled Kyoya off to the side. "So you have a thing for Amaya."
He adjusted his glasses. "She's simply a girl that is in debt with the Host Club." I crossed my arms over my chest and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really? Then why did you get so upset when Kyouhei was talking to her? And why do you keep glancing at her? And why do you care so much about her headaches?"
He simply closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "It was rude, clearly she was already tlaking to someone. I've been getting a lot of headaches recently too, I know how they feel."
"You're missing one," I sing-songed. He didn't say anything and I smirked. I had him right where I wanted him. "You know, she happens to also have a thing for you." He looked over my head at her as she listened to the manager. "And that longing look didn't help your case on bit."
He looked back at me and glared slightly. I only smiled. "If you really want to know, there was this necklace that she really liked..." He nodded and I led him over to it. He seemed surprised that it was something that she would like. "Don't worry, I won't say a word to her."
I walked away from him and went toward an old rocking chair. I've always loved rocking chairs. As I pretended to examine it, Amaya finished up and Kyoya discreetly purchased the necklace, paying a little more to skip the story. I smiled as I met four golden eyes watching me from across the room. I stuck my tongue out at them as I ducked out of the store and stared up at the roller coaster that was visible once again.
Amaya smirked and looked at Kiyomi who was still staring wistfully at the roller coaster. They were all pretty much done shopping anyway. "I say we go ride the roller coaster now!" Amaya said watching Kiyomi turn to look at her.
"Can we?" She asked with huge eyes as the twins came up behind her, taking her in their arms.
"I see no reason why we can't" Kyoya said rolling his eyes as Kiyomi jumped up and down.
"…We're riding with Kiyomi!" Hikaru and Kaoru shouted together.
"I'm pretty sure you can have three to a seat on that one actually" Amaya said thoughtfully, trying to remember from when they walked in.
"It's actually four to a car…" Kyoya said simply."Oh in that case…Mommy and Daddy, Haruhi and I should ride in a car together" Amaya said making Kyoya glare at her. "Heh…Haruhi and Tamaki would sit next to each other of course" Amaya added watching him smirk. She frowned mentally.
Somehow she had a feeling his attitude was a result of what Kiyomi was planning…
I practically ran to the roller coaster, skillyfully manuevering through the crowd of people. "Kiyomi, slow down!" Amaya called from somewhere behind me. I didn't though. I felt like Honey if he ever had free reign in a bakery. I just kept going and I must have stopped fully paying attention to where I was going because I ran right into someone. It was a burly man and he turned around. He did not look friendly.
I put my hands up in an apologetic manner. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
His expression only showed anger, as if I did it completely on purpose. He grabbed my wrist in his large hand. "You should be more respectful."
I narrowed my eyes at the man. "You. Need to let me go." His grip only tightened and it took all I had not to cry out from the pain. I clenched my free hand into a fist, but before I could use it someone else's fist connected with his jaw. I saw Hikaru standing there in front of the man that was now holding his jaw. I placed my hand on his shoulder, he turned around and his hostile look softened.
He turned and gently pulled me away from the line and away from the man. "What were you thinking?" He whisper shouted.
I held onto my wrist. "Honestly, I was only thinking roller coaster. That was the only thing going through my mind." Kaoru came up to us and he took my wrist out of my hand. He looked at it, there were red marks that would be bruises tomorrow if not sooner. He rubbed his thumb over the marks.
"Kiyomi! I told you to slow down!" I heard Amaya shout as she and everyone else joined us.
Kyoya looked down at my wrist. "What happened?"
I shook my head. "Nothing, nothing happened. I just got a little carried away is all." Hikaru obviously wasn't in the same mindset I was. He saw it in a completely different way.
Amaya looked at Kiyomi and sighed, rolling her eyes. "Kiyomi you have to be more careful next time!" Amaya scolded giving her friend a hug. "Maybe we shouldn't ride the roller coaster…" Amaya trailed.
"Wha-? No please no Amaya!" Kiyomi pleaded.
Amaya sighed shaking her head. "Let's get in line" She muttered watching her friends face light up as Hikaru held on to her protectively, Kaoru hovering over her worriedly. She herself was worried as well, and though surprised, she was thankful when Kyoya stood next to her taking her hand comfortingly. Dismissing as nothing more than a friendly gesture she smiled even though the contact made her heart race slightly.
Mentally rolling her eyes at herself she narrowed them when she noticed Kiyomi wiggling her eyebrows at both of them. Her look said 'cut it out or we get out of line…NOW!' and thankfully it got the girl to cut it out. Or maybe, it was Kyoya's glare…
After looking up at him his glare was even scarier than normal. Shrugging slightly she smiled as they all finally got on sitting next to Kyoya and buckling herself in.
"Have fun Kiyomi!" She called laughing as she saw the girl clinging to Kaoru who had sat next to her, Hikaru across from her.
I held onto Kaoru for the entire ride, I wasn't scared, but a little acting never hurt anyone, you know. I could hear Amaya and Tamaki screaming from the car behind us everytime we went over a hill. I had to smile when I looked back and saw her with her arms around the Shadow King for safety. They really were cute together, even if Amaya was too dense to see it.
We went on other rides and sat in the same arrangement. The tilt-a-whirl, though, had to have been the most interesting. "Come on, we can all fit in only two of these things," I said.
"You realize there is nine of us, right?" Hikaru asked. He's been a little mad at me since the incident earlier, I couldn't blame him. I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Of course. My brother and I once squeezed almost eight people in one. Of course there was a lot of lap sitting..." I smirked as he began to pull me toward the line I reached for Kaoru to pull him along with us.
The line went fast and we divided ourselves into two little groups. Hikaru, Kaoru, Amaya, Kyoya, and I would go in one; and Honey, Mori, Tamaki, and Haruhi would go in the other. We made sure that Amaya and Kyoya would sit together, so I sat between the twins and we squished over to one side. Amaya noticed what was going on, but Kyoya didn't show he did.
Amaya sighed raising her eyebrow at Kiyomi as she down next to Kaoru, since Hikaru had insisted sitting on the end. Kyoya sat next to her and she looked around for a minute. "Everyone needs to lean one way! We'll spin more!" Amaya declared. What she hadn't been expecting was for everyone to lean towards her and Kyoya.
Now she really knew that this was Kiyomi's doing, and as soon as they got off the ride she was going to pull her friend aside and have a looong talk with the girl. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate what they were trying to do, it was that she didn't think Kyoya would like it to much if he figured out what was going on.
And even though she liked the shadow King… She really didn't feel like owing the host club any more money than they already owed them. After all six million one hundred thousand yen was a lot of money to owe a club for clumsiness and being rude. Why should they want to add to it?
Letting her mind stop thinking though she enjoyed the ride; they shouted out which way to lean to make it spin faster, all of them laughing as the car did so. Getting out of the cars was funny though, because all of them ending up using the other for support as they went to help Tamaki, Honey, Mori, and Haruhi out of the other car, adding the other four to their support group. Once they were able to stand on their own Amaya grabbed Kiyomi saying the two needed to use the restroom, and cutting Kiyomi off with a look as the girl was about to protest.
"Listen Kiyomi," Amaya said as they walked away from the group's hearing range. "I'm thankful for what you're trying to do and all, but you really don't need to do it…"
"You really are in denial aren't you?" Kiyomi asked smirking at her best friend.
"Eh? No! I'll admit that I like him, but that doesn't mean you have to try and make us into a couple…" Amaya said looking confused as Kiyomi laughed.
"Just come one, and don't worry about it so much would you!" Kiyomi asked making Amaya sigh and roll her eyes nodding in agreement.
"Fine…But you better not make our debt any worse than what it is…"
"Amaya sweetie, if anything our debt will disappear…" Kiyomi said giggling.
I linked my arm with Amaya's as I skipped back over to the group. "You what, I really want cotton candy," I said to her. "Why don't you and Kyoya go get some?" I pushed her closer to him and even in the dim lighting I could see her blush.
"You're the one that wants it, why don't you get it?" She asked. I rolled my eyes at her.
"We'll get it," the twins said. I grabbed their arms as they went to leave.
"No!" They stopped and looked at me. "I-I'd miss you two too much," I said with a smile. I took their hands in mine and turned back to Amaya and Kyoya. "Please?" My eyes settled on Kyoya. I had a feeling ti would be easier to appeal to him that Amaya right now. He nodded and mumbled something that I didn't catch.
He took Amaya by the elbow and gently pulled her along behind him. "Come on Amaya."
"Just the blue kind!" I called after them. Amaya waved a hand over her head signaling that she heard me. I smirk after her. "How is this plan working so well?" I asked myself.
Amaya hadn't caught what Kyoya mumbled either; instead she wanted to know why she had to go get Kiyomi's cotton candy for her. Her friend had legs… Shaking her head she allowed Kyoya to pull her away. "You realize what she's doing don't you?" Amaya asked looking up at him to see him smiling at her.
"Of course I know what she's up to" he said smirking.
"…Really you don't have to put up with it if you don't want to" Amaya told him laughing softly at the thought of what Kiyomi would do to her when she found out what Amaya had said.
"Who said that I didn't want to put up with it?" He asked smirking as he took her hand.
"No one did, I was just stating a fact" Amaya said, blushing lightly as he took her hand.
"Good because, I rather like spending time with you," He told her, still smirking.
"…I'm taking it that's why you refuse to lower our debt then huh?" She asked watching him nod in confirmation. "You are so lucky I like you Ootori…" She muttered making him chuckle. "Let's just get the cotton candy," She added paying for it and returning to Kiyomi hand her friend the candy as she remained holding Kyoya's hand.
"Hey, there's pink in here!" I said as I looked over the cotton candy Amaya had handed me. I glanced at her hand that was holding on to Kyoya's and smiled. My work here was done.
"They don't sell just the blue," she stated matter-of-factly. I frowned and placed a chunk of the sweet blue cotton candy in my mouth.
"Well they should." I held out the bag, "Anyone else want some?" Everyone except Kyoya took some out of the bag. How can someone not like sweet? I can't believe we have to go back to school tomorrow. This weekend went by way too fast, but there is absolutely no way I regret anything that's happened.
"Kiyomi." I froze, there was no way I just heard that voice. Not here, not yet. I saw Amaya turn and she frowned a little bit.
"Hello Mr. Funaki," she said. I turned around. Sure enough, there was my dad standing behind me still in a business suit.
"Hola papá. ¿Qué estás haciendo aquí?" I knew he was better at Japanese, but all my knowledge of the Japanese language disappeared.
He smiled, "That's how you greet me after so long?" He opened his arms and I slowly made my way to hug him. I guess there was maybe one thing I regretted from this weekend. I should have told him when I was talking to him on the phone.
Amaya bit her lip as she watched her friend looking a tad bit distressed. "Mr. Funaki if I may introduce the host club?" Amaya asked before Kiyomi snapped out of it.
"There's really no need to. I'm assuming that Kyoya is the one you're holding hands with-" He began, making Amaya frown and blush at the same time, "Hikaru and Kaoru are two standing by Kiyomi, Honey is the small one purchasing cakes, Mori is standing over him protectively, Tamaki is the one who looks confused, and Haruhi simply looks like this has happened before…" He finished.
"Yeah…but how did you know that? Kiyomi and I haven't told you or my parents yet…" Amaya said looking confused.
"Kyoya-senpai did it…" Haruhi said twitching slightly as she recalled what had happened at her house.
"Of course I did. It was only right to inform both of your parents about your debt and that you choose to work it off instead of paying it. Neither of your parents seemed surprised though…" He added looking at both of them like he knew something they didn't.
"…You know we would have told them when we thought the timing was correct" Amaya said looking like she was going to hit the man standing in front of her. Just because she liked it didn't give him the right to go behind their backs talking to their parents like that!
"I felt better knowing that they were being properly informed, and would be able to step in if they what you two were doing was ill-befitting the two of you in any way…" Kyoya said with a charming smile.
"Something seems off about this…Mr. Funaki…How much exactly did he tell you?" Amaya asked.
"I know everything! So Kiyomi are you going to introduce me formally to your boyfriends?" He asked smiling.
My jaw dropped. "¿Espere dijiste novios? ¿Al igual que en plural? ¿Al igual que en más de uno?"
My dad smiled. "You can stop with the Spanish, Kiyomi. And yes, plural, more than one."
I shook my head. "No puedo dejar. Mi cerebro se rompe. ¿Te refieres a Kyoya le ha hablado de eso también? ¿Y usted no me dijo cuando hablé con usted antes?"
He laughed. I love my dad, but he has a terrible sense of humor. "This was more interesting."
Did he just say interesting? "And you're okay with it?" Is that a normal thing for a parent to be okay with? I have absolutely no idea. He nodded. I smiled and hugged him.
"Your mother on the other hand..."
I hugged him tighter, "Don't ruin the moment." I let go and pulled him to where Hikaru and Kaoru stood. "Dad, this is Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachiin." I pointed at each of them as I said their names. Dad shook their hands and smiled.
"Thank God. Her mother and I thought she was going to be single forever."
I felt myself blush. "Dad, you're so embarrassing. Don't you have somewhere to be?" Hikaru and kaoru each put an arm around my waist.
"Is that anyway to speak to your Father?" They said to me.
I nodded. "Yes, yes it is."
