Chapter ten
"So, how was everyone's break?"
Nobody answered Anime or Enime, so they think that what happened in their break is terrible. That was when the school bell rung its great ringing and soon it is time for their classes to begin, so before they all left to go and attend class, they all given their drafts for their article before they left. Kaoru and Hikaru along with Wake, Kumi and Haruhi all in a group walked down the hallway together.
"So what did you and Haruhi do, Wake?"
"We just stayed home and studied most of the time,"
Kumi, Hikaru and Kaoru eyeballed Wake as he has his baby blue eyes straight forward without looking at either Haruhi or them.
"Hey, did you hear?" a blond girl talking to another blond girl.
"What?"
"Kyouya's getting married to someone,"
Hikaru, Kaoru, Haruhi, Kumi and Wake all halted from their steps…did they just say what they just say? Hikaru and Kaoru ran up to them both and the girls stopped, blushing at Hikaru and Kaoru since they are fangirls of them.
"Did you just say that Kyouya's getting married?"
"Y-yes, he's marrying a girl named…I don't know who it is. Sorry."
The two girls ran away with their blushes redder than ever, Kumi ran up to Hikaru and Kaoru.
"I think I know who it is," Kumi said. "Shelia has been acting weird when I saw her this morning; she didn't have her skates on so that must be a bad sign, right?"
"Obviously," Haruhi said, going to her side. "Should we talk to one of them?"
"Guys, it's none of our business to get them confused with this," Wake finally said to them all who looked up at him. "Since this is their business, we shouldn't be taking advantage of them by asking ridiculous questions like this. And besides, it could be rumors from someone, right?"
The group nodded slightly, they knew that this was just another rumor going on since it could just be a boring, unexciting lie…until they heard a girl screaming her head out. When they avertedly turn to her, she threw the magazine on the ground and starts running away with tears shedding down upon her face. Wake ran up to the book and picked it up, he read the page where the girl opened it and soon realized that whatever gossip it is, it is sadly true in Ouran.
Kyouya Ootori's diary
Hikaru, Kaoru, Kumi and Haruhi all went around Wake in a circle to read the magazine out loud.
"I have declared with the help of my father-"
"That I shall get married to-"
"Shelia Shane-"
"And will soon have our first child with her…."
"This is just fucked up," Everyone in union said at the same time.
…
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" Shelia shouted at Kyouya right there on his desk as Shelia slams the magazine on his desk.
The classroom is empty, if it were to be filled with many students; it would truly cause a massive stir if this outburst were to happen. Kyouya looks up to Shelia with unconvinced eyes, his arms folded and opened his mouth to say something.
"It's all a prank, Sheila,"
"…what?"
"I decided that if I make my article more interesting, people would come to the host club more often than usual. So, I made up this lie for the pubic and once they read the bottom page, they'll know it was just a lie."
Sheila did not know what to say or do, she was both glad and pissed off by Kyouya who did something so ridiculous that it was almost too real. So, without thinking of anything else to say to him, she brought forth her hand and slapped him across the face that left a red mark on his cheek. He did not flinch or did anything at that matter, he just sat in his chair and looked away as Shelia brought her hand into a clutched fist.
"That man was about to fire my dad," she said, looking at the ground. "How could you let him do something like that if this is a prank?"
"My father went too far with that one," he said, making Shelia look at him instead of the ground. "I told him it was just an act but he took it too seriously. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you from what he did."
Shelia looked at him, then she looked at his cheek that is swelling with redness and she soon felt the surge of guilt inside her from what she did. Before she could even say anything at all, someone burst into the classroom with a bunch of posters all in her hands. When they both looked at her, it was Kaya who is rushing towards Shelia and Kyouya as some posters flew away from her hand and she looked frantic when she approached to them.
"Guys, we got a major problem," she huffed. "Bleeding Hearts can't perform today! Their main vocalist has the flu and they're thinking about canceling!"
"And that concerns us why?"
Kaya rolled her eyes, "Anime and Enime were going to check the band to see if they're worthy to be in the magazine, and of course they are! If we don't get them to perform, we'll never have a brand new magazine ready to be presented for next week."
Shelia and Kyouya could not believe what they are hearing; they have to now find a talented voice to replace the main vocalist for today. If they knew any singers, that could help them get this over with…Shelia looked at the flyer that Kaya handed out for them to see what they look like and both of them have no words to express how horrible they look. They are wearing masks that completely block their faces, cloaks in the color of black and they are playing different musical instruments. It should not be hard to find one singer, they just need a voice that will just have to hide under a mask and cloak in front of thousands of people. So, they deiced to go and make the magazine clubroom into an interview room to see who will become the replacing vocalist of Bleeding Hearts. When Kaya, Shelia and Kyouya went straight back into the clubroom and set it up to look like a well-organized interview room, Kaya rushes to find anyone who would like to participate. But it was harder than they thought, so far five girls already ruined their chances to sing and none of them are good enough to become the vocal they need to get Anime and Enime to do the Musical Chart.
When they decided that it was hopeless to find someone, someone came inside the room and Shelia hoped it was someone who could sing until she saw Edith eating chocolate Pocky.
"Oh, we thought you came here to sing," Shelia said, dampened of the results of people who could not sing at all.
"I do know how to sing," she said, munching on a stick.
"Then, we'll you sing?" Kaya asked with a pleading voice.
"Hell no unless I get more of this," she said, pointing at her Pocky box as she munched seventeen more in her mouth.
"Kyouya, get twenty Pockys for Edith immediately!"
Kyouya wondered if Kaya and Tamaki are somehow related in some way and were removed from birth after years. But it did not matter, he took out his phone and starts dialing to get at least twenty or more Pockys for Edith as she looks inside her red box to see nothing but just the wrapper for the snacks. But then when Shelia looked at the poster…
"Um, Edith, don't get pissed when I tell you this…"
Edith looks up at her.
"You're too short for the band, people are going to notice." She said, showing the poster to see the girl around the height that Shelia is, but just an inch shorter.
"Shelia, you're around her height," Kaya said. "Why don't you go and sing?"
"I can but…what if people realize it's just me?"
"No one's gonna care unless you just sing!" Kaya shouted at her, Edith is right behind Kaya and glared deadly at Shelia with her bright orange colored eyes. "Just practice a few of them and unless you seriously suck, we'll just have to make you do lip sync."
I really hope god forgives me from slapping Kyouya, ever since then, I'm getting bad luck!
…
Haruhi is sitting in her chair, waiting for Wake to come and prepare for their first Spanish test together. But apparently he seems to be late today, so she decided to wait a little longer as she reviews her words in her black notebook filled with phrases in Spanish. Then, she felt a tap on her right shoulder; she turned her head around to see Wake looking down at her with his Spanish textbook ready for testing. Haruhi smiles to him and they start to get ready, that was when Anime and Enime popped out of nowhere with big grins right behind Haruhi and Wake.
"Did you know Kaya is like a female version of Tamaki?" Anime asked Wake, looking at him as he glances to her.
"Did you know her birthday is in June the twenty-third?"
"Okay, anything else we should know about her?"
"Her parents are divorced…" they both said suddenly in a grim tone.
Haruhi and Wake turned their heads to face them; they look serious for the first time with emotionless eyes.
"Her brother, Zuko, is with his father,"
"And the father has a new son who's fifteen years younger than Kaya,"
"If Tamaki plays his cards right, he might be able to fix her past with a new one."
"And be rid of all of her fake happiness to a truly brand new happiness."
Anime and Enime left together, they both held hands and they walked out of the library as if nothing happened. Wake and Haruhi looked at each other, what in the hell did they just learn about Kaya?
…
"I did it, my talents have once again amazed me from this day forth!" Kaya said so proudly that it just gushed out like champagne from a bottle.
"Why am I stuck with these people?" Edith asked herself quietly, looking at Shelia who wore a white mask with a dark black cloak that nearly blocked her whole body.
When Shelia looked at herself in front of the mirror, she could not believe that that is what she has to look like when she performs in front of everyone waiting at the stadium. Kyouya is writing his book from afar and took a glance up at Shelia who nearly blush a small portion of red. Kaya took her by the arm and starts pulling her playfully outside as Edith followed behind with her thirteenth box of chocolate Pocky, she decided to screw off with her weight and just eat since she is starving to death. Kyouya later on followed them; he thought that this might be good for the club to have a vocalist singing for some money. But it did not matter now, they have to go and prepare Shelia for her big debut for the concert everyone is waiting for. So, they all rushed to get into the stadium, but Sheila had a hard time running with her high heels and Kyouya had to support her by standing behind her so that every time she trips, he will catch her. and so, they made it to the outside where they walked all the way to the stadium…but once they got there, Kyouya went up to it and realized that they locked it up. So, with no choice, Kaya said that they will have to start climbing up the skylight where they shall make a dramatic entrance.
Now Sheila and Kyouya found themselves climbing up the ladder from behind the massive concrete stadium. Kyouya is at the bottom, meaning he slightly gets a few sneak peeks to look up from her cloak to see her short blue shorts. Kaya made it up the top first, Edith came later with her twenty-ninth bag of Pocky in her hand, Shelia came but felt wobbly with her high heels and Kyouya came up last.
"All right, everyone," Kaya said to them who all stood in a line. "I'm going to open this hatch," she said, pointing at the skylight. "When I open it, Shelia must jump out of it and land safely onto the stage which you will be guided by the parachute I placed inside your cloak."
"No wonder if felt like fifty pounds on it," Shelia said, looking behind her cloak.
"But no matter what, you must sing like you never sung before! Or else I'll shoot you, okay?"
"Okay…wait, what?"
Kaya immediately opened the skylight, Edith gave her a little push from behind and then Sheila found herself stumbling over to the entrance to feel like she is falling down…only she is falling down. The last look she saw was Kyouya looking down from the skylight, Edith eating her thirty-fifth packs of Pocky and Kaya giving her a peace hand sign when suddenly her parachute from behind activated automatically. When she found her way to fall gracefully, she looked down to see many people cheering for her because she is making what seems to be the greatest entrance in all of Ouran academy. Soon, she gracefully landed on the stage where her Bandmates all looked at Shelia as if she was an insane person, but then the drummer starts off first. Shelia turned around and quickly took the microphone; the guitarist whispered to her a little loud that they are going to play Mine from Taylor Swift. Thankfully she knew that song and soon, the crowds started roaring like lions for the band to start playing. The music was talented, and then Sheila started to sing with the microphone in her hand.
You were in college working part time waitin' tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch?"
The moment I can see it.
Yes, yes, I can see it now.
Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together,
And there's a drawer of my things at your place.
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded,
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes.
But we got bills to pay,
We got nothing figured out,
When it was hard to take,
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about.
Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
Oh, oh, oh
And I remember that fight
Two-thirty AM
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the "Goodbye"
'cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone."
You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine."
Hold on, make it last
Hold on, never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
(Hold on) Do you believe it?
(Hold on) Gonna make it now.
(Hold on) I can see it,
(Yes, yes) I can see it now.
…
After days later from that concert everyone did, Kaya along with Edith, Kyouya and Shelia are exhausted with all of the stress that was going on. Anime and Enime said that from what they heard, the band is so amazing that they are now the top ten most musical bands of the year. The best part of all is that no one knew that it was Shelia this whole time who replaced the main vocalist, who is recovering quickly and is now performing small gigs for the band. And as for Haruhi and Wake who were studying for their first test in Spanish, they got great grades. Now it means that they do not have to worry about the next quiz on Spanish in a couple of months later for their exams. Anime and Enime are now inside the clubroom all alone together, the sunset from outside is setting as they are on the computer while Anime is typing something on the computer.
"The mission for today went well, right?"
"Yeah, but do you think God's going to forgive us if we tell them our secret?"
"You mean how he might twist their fates a little more?"
"No, I mean by us telling our friends what we are…"
"I'm sure that they'll figure it out soon, but we'll be long gone before then," Anime said with a frail smile. "They won't even remember us, just like before and before then…"
"I guess you could be right on that one…by the way, should we congratulate Shelia for performing in Bleeding Hearts?"
"Nah, they still don't know that we know that…" Anime giggled, closing her red laptop with a loving smile.
