OHSHC Chapter 10 : Middle School Friends
~Hikaru POV~
All the girls, and I mean Haruhi too, looked around and spotted a smirking brunette. The girl walked up to them and fist bumped Mizore.
"Hey y'all! Long-time, no see!" She smiled while giving Yaya a hug. She patted Haruhi on the head and then ruffled it completely, making the Fujisaki's glare for ruining their masterpiece. The girl just laughed and walked over to them.
"Yo Mizu!" The brunette high-fived Mizuki. She then ran to Natsuki and Rina and almost strangled them with a hug.
"Mind explaining?" Kaoru asked.
"Who are you?" The girl asked, narrowing her eyes cautiously.
"This is Emma, you know...the one that gave Natsuki the nickname chocolate and...uh...you know the rest..." Mizore laughed.
"That was her?" I asked, laughing at the memory of the story. The girl supposedly called 'Emma' just nodded and smirked.
"Ahh, yes I remember that story!" Emma laughed "You know, everyone didn't forget about that till, like, three months after!"
"Well Emma, this is the host club!" Mizore and Mizuki smiled.
"Ahh, another commoner!" Tamaki gasped in delight.
"What!?" Emma snapped, glaring full on at Tamaki.
"I thought we told you to never call us that?" Mizore glared.
"Or are you trying to commit suicide?" Mizuki smirked. Tamaki hid behind Mori, the girls still glaring.
"Alright guys break it up!" Natsuki sighed.
"Are these...people... escorting you for tonight?" Emma asked.
"Yes but they're friends too. Haruhi met them at Ouran before we started," Natsuki explained.
"So will you tell me who your escort is?" The standing brunette asked. The girls seemed to blush.
"This is Mistsukuni Haninozuka!" Yaya cheered, pointing to Honey.
"You can call me Honey-chan!" The cake eating, third year smiled.
"What grade are you in?" Emma wondered.
"Third Year, High School!" He answered. Emma didn't show it, but I could tell she was wondering if he was lying.
"He's not lying," I heard Mizuki whisper, to make sure she knew. She nodded.
"Umm, Takashi Morinozuka," Rina blushed, pointing to the other third year, who nodded just nodded in greeting.
"You can just call him Mori, though!" Honey smiled.
"Hang on a minute... Didn't you say your surname was Haninozuka?" Emma asked Honey, who nodded.
"And yours is Morinozuka? Aren't those names famous in Karate and Kendo?" Emma asked. The two nodded at her, and then she seemed to freak out a bit.
"Don't worry they'll only hurt you if you get Honey mad," I heard Mizore whisper to her.
Emma nodded then turned her head to the next pair sitting around the table. Natsuki and Kyoya.
"Kyoya Ootori," Kyoya introduced.
"Ootori? Like the hospital?" Emma asked.
"Yeah his family owns it," Natsuki explained.
"Ahhh cool!" Emma laughed. Tamaki and Haruhi were next.
"Tamaki Suoh, dear hime-sama," Tamaki smiled. I swear I could see white roses behind him. Like Tadase's sparkle attack from Shugo Chara, but roses instead. (A/N don't own Tadase's cute sparkle attack! Or Tamaki's for that matter)
"Uhh...Nice to meet you too," Emma smiled, clearly weirded out by the prince act. My twin and I started to laugh.
"Now who are you two?" Emma asked us. She turned to the Fujisaki's "Are they your escorts?"
"Uhh...no they're just here with the host club," Mizore smiled.
"So names?" She asked.
"Hikaru," I smirked.
"Kaoru," My other half smirked.
"Surname?" Emma urged us to continue.
"Hitachiin," We finished together.
"REALLY!? AS IN YUZUHA HITACHIIN!?" She squealed. I knew this would happen. We smirked like hell and nodded evilly at her.
"Ugh, Emmy, don't even try to meet her or you'll just regret ever getting involved with these devils," The Fujisaki's snorted.
"Aww, you're so mean, you don't regret getting involved with us do you?" My twin and I pouted.
"Yes, yes we do," The girls laughed.
"Umm...alright?" Emma said, slightly confused.
"Anyways, I didn't think mother would invite you! You know she hates the English people!" Mizore smiled.
"Yeah I know I was shocked too! Apparently she invited the whole class from last year, middle school! Even Arai!" Emma laughed. Everyone in the host club seemed to tense at the mention of the guy. I turned away and looked at the ground. God...they know that guy? That's just great...
"Do you guys know Arai? The atmosphere seemed to change the moment she said his name," Mizore asked cautiously. (A/N Does everyone else remember him? The guy that made Hikaru mad [and jealous] in Karuizawa!?)
"Yeah, some incident-" Haruhi side glanced at me. I started laughing nervously "-happened and sort of caused an uproar,"
"Ohhh, I smell an interesting story!" Mizore and Mizuki smirked.
"SPILL! SPILL, HARU-CHAN!" Yaya urged.
"Say it," Natsuki glared.
I bet I looked very worried at this point. Haruhi looked unfazed. And the rest of the host club seemed like they were having a flashback.
"Well, let's say this," Haruhi started. She looked at me with a glare that said 'Continue or I'll stuff your pockets with candy then send Yaya on you after she hasn't had candy for weeks!' I gulped. Trust me that isn't a good thing. I once had Honey, whom of which hadn't had cake for weeks, chase after me when Kao stuffed my pockets with cake. I shivered at the thought of Yaya doing that...especially since she was a friend of the devil Fujisaki's. I sighed in defeat before continuing the story.
"I got a bit jealous that Haruhi was talking to Arai and sort went overboard in my words. She slapped me then I lost it, screaming at her because I thought we were her friends, not him. We ended up going on a date...don't ask how. We bumped into Arai and I got mad again and ran off. A thunderstorm hit-and at that time I had no idea she had a fear of them- Tamaki called me and screamed at me telling me to go find her. I found her in a church and then after that I apologised to Arai, the end."
The senses seemed to leave the girl's body.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AT!?" They screamed. Not including Haruhi of course. Everyone in the ballroom turned to look at us before Natsuki and Kyoya told them there was nothing to see here.
"Was that really necessary?" Kaoru asked.
"Yes! How can we not be shocked after that! Our best friend went on a date with your twin!" Mizuki exclaimed. The host club, including me, practically did an anime fall in our seats.
"That's what you screamed about?" My twin and I asked, exasperated.
"It's not that shocking is it?" Haruhi asked.
"Ahh yeah! Why the hell do you think we just screamed?" Natsuki pointed out.
"It's not likely you ever said yes to guys who asked you out! You always turned them down!" Yaya smiled.
"Well, there's a first time for everything," Haruhi said.
"How did you end up on the date?" Yaya asked.
"I thought I said not to ask?" I sighed.
"Just say it!" Rina snapped.
"Alright. Honestly, I don't really know. Kaoru was the one who asked her out to make up for my actions, but the day of the date he got sick and asked me to go instead, so once again, THE END!"I glared that last part.
"Alright jeez, no need to get all moody," Mizore muttered next to me, smiling slightly. I saw Mizuki tug on Kaoru's shirt slightly and lean in to whisper him. I nudged Mizore and motioned for her to listen in.
"Hey Kaoru, you planned that didn't ya?" I heard Mizuki whisper.
"Yeah, if I didn't I don't think his feelings would've gotten anywhere," Kaoru muttered.
"So he had a crush on Haruhi? Does he still do? I mean that would ruin our plan," She asked. I started to feel heat rush to my face.
"Of course not, I'm his twin, I can tell. Plus I think he agrees Tamaki's better suited for her," Well, that was sort of true...
"Okay but I don't think we should continue the plan, I think we need to wait longer," Mizuki sighed. Kaoru nodded, and then they went out of whisper mode.
"I guess they won't tell me after all," Mizore sighed. Her happy expression from before suddenly turned all dark and gloomy. I frowned at that.
"Hey don't you dare get all gloomy on me again!" I exclaimed. I think it was a little too loud cause the club stared at me.
"Fine," My step-sis laughed.
"Now there's a good girl," I happily patted her head. The rest of the club saw my actions and laughed.
"Hey Mizo! Already got yourself a boyfriend? I feel jealous," A passer-by laughed. That blush I had from before, returned again. What is up with their relatives?
"Oh, Shove Off," Mizore snorted. The guy laughed then spotted Emma. He flushed a dark shade of red but quickly recovered.
"Oh Hey, Emma come with me," He smiled. Emma nodded, blushing red, and then followed.
"Ahh, young love," Mizore sighed at the leaving couple. I guess those two have a thing for each other.
Then Mizore seemed to go into her day dream mode. Oh, no, not again. She's always doing this...What's she thinking of?
"Hey, are you done with your daydream?" I laughed.
"Nope," Mizore sighed, staring off into space.
"YO!" Mizuki clicked my fingers in front of her face. She immediately jumped in surprise, snapping out of it "Never fails,"
"Hey! I was havin' a daydream about Kyo, from Fruits Basket," She protested.
"You really have a thing for redheads, did you know?" I asked.
"First Fred and George Weasley, now Kyo Sohma," Kaoru laughed.
Then I heard something that really surprised me...
"And now Hikaru," Mizuki sneered, a bit too loudly because Mizore slapped her in the back. I pretended I didn't hear it.
"Oww," Mizuki pouted quietly.
"Serves you right," She said.
"But was I correct?" She smirked.
"No you baka!" She exclaimed quietly, hitting her again. Suddenly a pain grew in my chest...wait, what? What was this feeling?
"Hey did you say something?" I asked, knowing that if I interrupted they would drop the topic.
"No nothing at all," Mizore smiled, sitting up straight. I smiled in response at her.
Then slow music came on and the DJ announced that it was time for the waltz.
"We didn't organise this!" Mizore hissed at Mizuki.
"Just go along with it or we'll seem like an idiot!" Mizuki muttered.
"But for the first dance, we'll have the birthday girl and her sister up first!" The DJ shouted. I saw Mizuki's jaw drop.
"I am not dancing the waltz in front of a crowd!" She snapped at Mizore.
"Not my fault, you're the one who said play along," She mumbled back.
"So can Mizore and Mizuki please come to the centre of the floor with their escorts?" The DJ asked.
"Umm, we don't have any escorts," They mumbled to the DJ.
"Then, get those two twins next to you," A person from the crowd shouted. I blushed at the suggestion but being the gentlemen we are, we stood up and held out our hands for them to take, Kaoru in front of Mizuki and me in front of Mizo.
"May we have this dance?" We asked. I felt heat rise into my cheeks. My twin and Mizore were blushing too. Mizore side-glanced at her step-sis and she was blushing as madly as she was. They nodded slightly and took our hands.
We walked to the centre of the stage and took our positions. Mizore's right hand grasped mine and her left on my shoulder. I gently placed my free hand, on her waist. Kaoru and Mizuki were in the same position. The DJ started the music and I immediately recognised it to be 'Can I have this Dance' from the movie 'High School Musical 3'. Wow...that's really corny...but at the same time, it matches.
I saw smile creep onto Mizore's face, making me smile down at her. That's when I realised she was staring at the ground. Then, she slowly looked up at me, her face close enough that I could see her pupils through her mask. I spun her around and I caught a glimpse of my twin and Mizuki. They were chatting quietly while dancing. My smile grew bigger and Mizore had finished her spin, facing me again.
"Having fun?" I asked. She merely nodded, biting her lip. Aww...cute! God, I hope I don't step on her feet.
I twirled her once again, and I saw Yaya pull Honey into the middle of the floor, closely followed by Rina and Mori. Tamaki practically dragged Haruhi to dance and Natsuki also got Kyoya to dance, too.
"Hey, look, whaddya know, Natsuki actually got Kyoya to dance!" I muttered, clearly amazed "Does she have a spell on him or something?"
She giggled before answering "Of course not, but it does seem that way. I haven't known Kyoya-sempai long, but I know that he isn't one to how his feelings,"
"True you are," I laughed. I noticed the song faded to a finish. I twirled her once more before finishing, by dipping her. Our lips were inches away from each other and all I could see were mesmerising, violet eyes. My cheeks turned red at our closeness but before they could get any redder, I stood up straight, so that I wouldn't get any redder. I pulled her up along with me. I bowed to show my thanks, and she politely curtsied back.
"That was nice, thank you," She smiled, her voice barely a whisper. She had a faint tint of red on her cheeks and was staring at the ground. She looks really cute right now...
I smiled brightly at her.
"You're welcome,"
A different song continued playing and some people were even singing along. The food was being placed down in front of us, by the waiters.
"Thanks," Mizore and Mizuki smiled.
"You're welcome mistress," The waiter bowed then left.
"Hey Mizo, after this are we doing the thing?" Rina asked.
"Yeah I forgot about that!" Mizore exclaimed, excitedly. She quickly ate her food, stuffing her mouth spoonful after spoonful.
"Jeez, Calm down! You'll get a stomach ache!" I laughed. She shook her head, smiling. The food in her mouth made her cheeks puff up. She continued to eat quickly till eventually, she was done.
"Right! I'll go now! Bye!" Mizore smiled, then ran off. The other girls laughed at her actions, then quickly finished their food too. Of course Haruhi wasn't included in that.
"We'll be going too," Natsuki said.
"Where?" Kaoru asked.
"You'll see!" Yaya cheered. Then she ran off with the others. Haruhi was left speechless.
"Do you know what's going on?" I asked Haruhi.
"Nope, but I have a vague idea, that I'm not telling you," She muttered "I'll go see what they're up to,"
With that she got up and left, leaving all us guys sitting alone at the table.
"So what should we do while we wait?" Kaoru asked.
"Hey!" We turned to see their friend, Emma, I think.
"Your Hikaru and Kaoru right?" She asked us.
"Yeah," We answered.
"Then Honey, Mori, Kyoya and Tamaki?" She asked pointing to each of the host club. The guys nodded.
"Sooo, what do you guys think of the girls?" Emma asked, smirking.
"You mean Yaya-chan and the others?" Honey smiled.
"Yeah, do you like them?" She smirked.
"Depends on what you're asking, are you asking if we like them," Kyoya started.
"Or if we like like them," My twin and I finished.
"The last one of course," Her smirk seemed to turn more evil.
"Yaya-chan is really nice and really understands me but I don't like her that way," Honey smiled.
"Neither I with Rina," Mori stated.
"Natsuki is smart, but she's no use to me," Kyoya said.
"As if I would like Mizore," I laughed. I tried to fight back a blush but failed a tiny bit.
"And as if I would like Mizuki," Kaoru snorted.
"Hmm?" Emma sat down and rested her chin on her hand "But I never said anything about if you liked Yaya, Honey. Or you and Rina, Mori. And why did you think of Natsuki? And why did you two devils think of the stepsisters? I just asked if you liked the girls,"
My jaw dropped. It was a trick!
"So does that mean they were the first people you guys thought of? Aww, how sweet," She taunted.
"SUCCESS!" She cheered, fist pumping the air. (A/N See? I told y'all that she has an important role! The role that is, getting the truth out!)
"Shut up, Emma," I glared.
"Just stating a fact here!" She smiled, putting her hands up in surrender.
"I love my daughters all equally!" Tamaki cheered.
"Umm...Daughters?" Emma asked.
"Tama-chan thinks of the host club as one big family, Em-chan!" Honey explained.
"Uh, okay...strange," Emma laughed. "They're coming back now by the way,"
"What!?" My head snapped up and indeed the six other girls were coming back. But all except Haruhi had changed out of their formal dresses.
"My work here is done," Emma smirked, getting up to leave. "By the way think about what we just talked about,"
Once she finished her sentence she walked off.
"Their friends are scary smart," Kaoru whispered to me "Remember Natsuki, in the limo?"
I only nodded in response. Why did I think of Mizore? Does Kao really like Mizo? Oh God, what sort of crazy things are gonna happen tonight?
