Chapter 10

The plane had a bumpy landing and everyone rushed off of the plane, eager to grab their luggage and start their class trip. It was a two hour drive to the private ski resort that was owned by one of their classmates. The plane landed in the afternoon, and by the time they got there, it was evening, so many of the people in the class used it as a time to relax. They dropped their bags off in their assigned rooms and all crowded into the common room.

Only one thing punctured their evening. "What? They're doing some last minute construction and we won't be able to ski until the afternoon? What are we supposed to do until then?" Some of the girls asked.

"They usually don't open the ice skating lake to the public until later in the year. But they're testing the ice now and if it's safe to skate, they'll provide the skates and let us skate in the morning! I hope it's safe to skate. Ice skating is a lot of fun." Another girl exclaimed while almost bouncing in her seat. A man in an orange jump suit came in and told the class chairmen, Kazukiyo Souga, something quietly.

He walked in front of the class and made a call for silence. "Good news everyone! We can ice skate tomorrow morning!" All the class cheered wildly. Momoko Kurakano was especially happy about this and the class chairmen blushed wildly at seeing her so happy. The twins appeared out of nowhere, each putting a hand on one of his shoulders.

"This turned out good, don't you think?" They said with an evil grin on their faces.

"Wha-what do you two mean?" He stuttered as he jumped away, giving the twins a huge laugh.

"We know who you like. Doesn't it please you to see Momoko-chan so happy?" Kaoru said loopily. Kazukiyo Souga looked just disturbed at their behavior. "Who knows...she may end up noticing your feelings tomorrow, like if you offered to skate with her tomorrow maybe?" The chairman blushed even harder now.

Haruhi noticed their actions from a corner, where she was having some hot chocolate with some of her friends. "Those two are at it again." She said, shaking her head. "Always causing chaos. It doesn't matter if it they're at home or at school. Honestly, those two." The girls all stopped to listen to Haruhi's statement.

"So Haruhi, what are they like? We figured you knew them on an personal level. We only see them at the Host Club, so we can't say we really know them." Haruhi's classmate, Runa, asked.

"They're the twins. They do have pure and innocent motives, if not a sister complex." The girls oohed and aahed at her statement, while the boys were all making plans on asking her to skate with them. The twins overheard her as she said this and they marched across the room and squished her in a hug. "Let me go, you two." She ordered, her voice sounding a little muffled, as her face was half buried in Hikaru's chest.

"No!" They said as one. "We want to give our sister a hug! There's nothing wrong with that!" Haruhi's arm snuck around their backs and found a lock of each of the twins hair. She gave them both a firm tug. "OW! That hurt!" They exclaimed and let go of her, turning to stare at her with puppy dog eyes.

"That won't fool me. I was almost suffocating you know. That's why I said let me go, so I could breathe." Haruhi explained.

"But that was mean! Why would you want to hurt angels like us?" They whimpered.

"Your angelicness comes across as devilry. And, as you two put it so kindly earlier, I'm the apprentice to the demon lord. So it makes perfect sense that I am 'mean' as you put it." Haruhi said innocently while smiling. The twins were horrified that she had heard that.

"You heard us earlier?" Kaoru asked. Haruhi nodded.

"I have good hearing. Don't forget that I remember how you measured me for the ski suit you made me. Should I tell everyone what you two really are?" The twins gasped, almost knowing for sure that she was going to say that they were perverts.

"You wouldn't!" They said.

"I would. Would you like to test me?" Haruhi said sweetly. "Hey guys, these two are really-" The twins put a hand over her mouth in shock. Everyone in the room froze, wanting to know the next words that were going to come out of her mouth. She squirmed her way out of their hands which were holding her in place.

"Oh well. Maybe another time. I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow!"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

The freshman class all gathered on the shore of the frozen lake, sitting on the frozen benches to lace on their ice skates. Everyone was up as soon as they finished, skating on their ice. When people had asked Haruhi what the twins really were, she just smiled innocently.

She also apparently hadn't ice skated before so Mui was helping her get the basics down. Everytime she fell, they laughed at her. She got back at them though, when they weren't paying attention to where they were going and they went off the ice into a huge pile of snow. She laughed at them just as much they had laughed at her. This of course started a snowball fight between the twins, which the class joined in on. They spent half the time on the ice and the other half in the snowball fight, as the two who had started the snowball fight never gave up on it.

"Uhmm, Momoka, would you like to ice skate with me?" The chairmen suddenly asked, startling everyone. Momoka took his hand and started leading him around the lake. The boys all gathered around the girls and started suddenly to decide on who was going to skate with who. As the kids on the ice were skating, some not having want to leave the snowball, someone started playing some music.

"Hey, what's that noise?" Someone asked.

"What noise? I don't hear anything. Stop the music, would ya?" The music stopped and the cracking sound was clearly heard now. The rescue squad the school had hired moved into action.

"Everyone, move off the ice slowly! Don't rush or panic." They yelled out. The kids on the ice followed their instructions and began to inch their way off the ice. "And make sure to avoid the cracks, giving them a wide berth. The students having a snowball fight, please come help us." The students stopped throwing snowballs and ran to help the emergency workers.

One of the men, apparently the one in charge, was on the phone with someone. "We're helping the students right now. But wasn't this ice tested before they were allowed on it to skate? It was tested and it was proved safe? I want a full investigation. I'm getting off now to go do my job. See that this is investigated!" He ordered and hung up, stowing the phone in a pocket.

"The cracking is getting worse! Get those kids off that ice pronto!" One by one, the students got off the safely. That's when the ice finally gave out and it fell in on itself. "Were all the students off?"

"Negative, sir. Three students are still in the water sir! Mui Kanryu, Momoka Kurakano, and Haruhi Hitachiin are still unaccounted for." The students who had gotten off the ice safely were full of concern for their endangered classmates.

"Get these students back to the inn for now. We'll handle the rescue of the three unaccounted students." The commander ordered.

"Come on, kids. Go back to the inn." Hikaru and Kaoru were forced along with the rest of their class back to the inn.

"Kaoru, come on. Haruhi will be fine." Hikaru ushered his twin brother along, ignoring his protests.

"Commander, they've been sighted!" One rescue squad member called out once the other students were out of earshot. The commander turned around and saw that the three girls were making their way back to solid ground. Momoka Kurakano was being supported by by Mui and Haruhi. Apparently she wasn't that great of a swimmer.

"Get blankets ready. Prep a vehicle to take them back to the inn. Alert the medical squad just in case." The three girls made it closer to shore and they finally made it out of the water. Their clothes were completely soaked down, their long hair stuck to their skin. All three were shivering, their teeth chattering. They were quickly wrapped in blankets and escorted to the inn, where their classmates were waiting worriedly for a report on how they were. The twins were especially frantic. The owner of the inn said the construction was done but none of the students wanted to go yet. They wanted to hear how their friends were.

The resident doctor spoke to them all at last. "Your classmates are fine. They will spend the rest of the day warming up again while resting in bed. But they can at least have visitors." Hikaru and Kaoru went at once to Haruhi and Mui's room, since they were sharing a room. But they did make a detour, stopping by their room to grab their hair dryers.

"It'll feel really good to them, with the heat and all. It'll also reduce the chance of them getting sick because they won't fall asleep with their hair wet." Hikaru explained. Kaoru understood at once and quickly found his. "The only question is," Hikaru said, "is who dries whose hair." They quickly played rock, paper, scissors. It ended with Kaoru drying Haruhi's hair.

The twins knocked quietly and poked their head into their room. "You two up for visitors?" Hikaru asked.

"Sure. It's not like we nearly died or anything. Come on in." The twins entered the room. The girls were laying down in their beds with extra blankets. Their hair had only been semi-dried. The boys plugged in their hair dryers and started drying the girls hair.

"This will make you warmer and make it less likely you'll get sick from the wet hair. Also, it avoids damaging the hair from improper care." The twins explained over the noise of the hair dryers.

"Ah." The girls said in unison this time, making the boys grin. Despite the blankets and the hair dryers warming them up, the girls skin was still very cold when touched.

"I'm glad you three are ok. Momoka Kurakano is doing fine as well." Mui sighed as one of the twins said this.

"We're actually just fine. In fact, we could go skiing right now and not be bothered." Haruhi explained. The twins shook their heads.

"Have you two felt your own skin? It's still cold to the touch. We were worried. Someone could have easily died out there." Kaoru said somberly. Then he suddenly jumped onto Haruhi's bed, as Hikaru jumped onto Mui's. "In fact, we aren't going skiing without you. We're keeping you two company until you're free to get out of bed."
