I blinked. And then I blinked again. And again. And again.
Why didn't she have her short hair anymore? And why wasn't she at school? Was she sick and just recovering? But, no. If she was sick, then I wouldn't have been given her seat. We made eye contact. Her eyes narrowed, and she spun around and started to stomp away. Then I realized that Tamaki had seen her. And he was running after her.
The rest of the host club was hot on his heels. But, somehow, I felt a surge of relief. I mean, she wasn't dead, so that was good. But, why did she give me that look? What did I do?
Nekohime touched my shoulder. She had set her guitar down. Shirohime nodded at us, and Nekohime literally scooped me up, and started to chase after them. She hid in the shadows. I don't think she was human.
The people in front of us stopped, and I found that we were at a dead end. She backed up, so she was hiding behind the corner. I was still able to see though.
They all were panting, yet Nekohime wasn't even out of breath. "Haruhi. Why. Why did you come back?" Tamaki asked, staring wide eyed. Haruhi crossed her arms. "Just because our relationship failed, doesn't mean that I can't come back to Japan and explore again. What, do you think that I'm so poor that I can't even come back?" she spat. I had never heard so much hostility in her voice. "I didn't mean it like-" Tamaki began. "Save it." she growled, interrupting him. Hikaru spoke up. "Why do you have to be so hostile? Just because you broke up with Tamaki, and quit the host club." She remained silent.
Nekohime quietly set me down, and put her fingers to her lips. Then, defeating the whole purpose of that gesture, she picked up a rock, and threw it at them. As soon as it hit the ground, all of them looked our way. They didn't see us, thank god, but they started creeping our way. Even Haruhi.
And what upset me the most was that Nekohime grinned at me, waved a goodbye, and sped off. By the time I had made the decision to try and chase after her, they had reached then corner, and saw me. I squeaked, and covered me face. Then I tried to run.
Someone grabbed my tail, and a sharp pain shot through my lower back. I cried out in pain, and felt someone dragging me back. "Get off!" I yelled. I turned and hit the closest person. There was a loud smacking sound, and my hand stung when it connected with a face. It was completely quiet. Whoever had my tail let go. Then I realized that I had smacked Hunny.
"Damn it!" I cried out. Now I was probably going to get beat up by Mori. This time, when I started to make a run for it, nobody reached out to grab my tail. Or at least, I don't think they did. They might have been just to slow.
As I ran from the alley, I blamed everything in the world for that happening. I blamed the stupid screwed up anime world for making Nekohime drag me there, and then leave me. I blamed my shoes for not making me fast enough. And I blamed Nekohime for making me hit Hunny.
I finally got back to the spot where I had sang the first song, and found that nobody was there. My green cell phone was though…it was blowing up with messages and missed call notifications. I read through some of the texts. I read through Anri's first
Anri: Hey where are you?
Anri: Migotohime?
Anri: Hello?
Anri: Migotohime, why aren't you responding?
And then there was panicked voice mails from her. Then I got some that made my heart stop.
Unknown number: You slut. Get away from the host club
Unknown number: I'm coming for you, you little whore
Unknown number: Your dead, bitch
I covered my mouth. Why was this happening? Was this just the host club texting me now, because I hit Hunny? No, it said it was sent about 5 to ten minutes ago. It can't be. Maybe its Sakura.
I heard footsteps behind me, and whipped around, ready to fight if I needed to. But it was only Nekohime and Shirohime. "Hi." Shirohime said, as if nothing strange had just happened. I huffed. Then I turned and stomped in a random direction. "The cars the other way." I hear Nekohime call from behind me. "I know that." I muttered. I was going to get my normal life back, whether I had to test risky things or not. "Where are you going?" Shirohime said behind me. Like, right behind me. Scared the hell out of me.
"None of your business." my attitude towards these people had definitely changed. Nekohime has now gotten me in trouble. And both of them had most likely planned it. I felt something sharp jab my shoulder. "Wha-" I began. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a tired yet angry looking host club emerge from the way I came. Haruhi wasn't with them.
I turned to them, and tried to say sorry. But then I felt myself falling, and blackness overtook me.
I know, i know. Not the best. But if you think that sucked, then you should see the NEXT chapter. Woah boy XD
