So I realized I nvr responded to the 2 who reviewed in chapter 9. I really appreciate u 2 sticking w/ me :D
Animefreak Amii- yes thank u :) But n e thing can happen in anime right? How come Tamaki didn't die when Ranka smashed him against the wall? And sure she was out of character but didn't it show her anger and how much she loves Tamaki? (in a violent way ^^")
SnOandZnT- love you too ;D
Sooooo I've been getting lots of inspiration for this story lately and it's probably bc of my ex but watevs. No biggie. BUT I'm really sorry I haven't updated this in 2 months DX
Amaya's Dream
I was lying down somewhere and Hiroki was sitting really close to me. My shirt was slightly exposed, revealing my skinny tanned stomach. Hiroki slowly let his fingers move to my belly button teasingly. In bland frustration, I moved his hand away.
"No no let's not do that." I said firmly, pushing his hand away. But that persistent hand went directly back toward the hand that now covered my own stomach. I began to protest but Hiroki interjected, "Amaya I need to talk to you." I agreed despite my feuding thoughts. We went somewhere more private. Immediately, Hiroki began to speak, "Amaya I can't stop thinking about how horrible I was to you. Two days after I rejected you my girlfriend broke up with me because she said I was too shallow and I realized that. I would be honored to have a girl like you as my girlfriend. Will you be her?"
Silently as I processed this, I shook my head. "I don't know if I could. I can't just be with you after you hurt me that bad. I've gotta go." I began to walk away when Hiroki tugged at my wrist.
"Can I at least get a hug?"
Some force or thought pushed me to give him a hug. When I did, he pulled me really close and set a hand on my waist. To my dismay, I blushed. Hiroki had noticed this and chuckled. A person walked by and I shot up. Quickly, I walked as far as I could away from the guy who broke my heart.
Out of dream
I tossed to one side violently and opened my eyes.
"I don't get it. I can't I just can't like him again." I sobbed.
The next day Hoshimi's POV
School was just letting out and I hadn't seen Amaya all day. I sped walked to the Host Club. Bursting through the grand doors before the hosts could do their whole 'Welcome' crap, I exclaimed, "Have any of you seen Amaya today?"
The Host Club looked to each other. No's were given back as a response. I grumbled and ran to sit on Kaoru's lap.
"I'm so worried!" I exhaled into Kaoru's shoulder while at the same time taking in his scent.
"We saw her yesterday once she was done singing." Hunny sadly said. Mori nodding as usual.
"That's when I last saw her." Hikaru said. Haruhi answered the same as Hikaru.
"Don't look at me I saw Amaya when she left stage." Kyouya muttered eyes focused on his laptop.
"And we saw her after the pie eating contest but that was it." Kaoru and I mumbled.
All eyes went to Tamaki. He looked at us.
"Well when did you last see her?" I yelled.
Tamaki shook out of whatever thought he was thinking, "I last saw her after I gave her a necklace."
I frowned, "It isn't like Amaya to miss school. Something must have really upset her."
"Maybe you should be with her. Amaya needs you right now and whatever help Amaya needs can only come from her closest friend. And that's you Amaya." Mori spoke up.
We all gaped at him a bit. Mori smiled slightly, "Go Hoshimi."
I nodded in a stupid happy way. Who wouldn't after a bit of Mori advice? I grabbed my bag and ran towards Amaya's house.
When I got there, I found the spare key and went through the heavy wooden door, into her elaborate entryway. "Amaya, honey? You here?" I heard a sniffle from the corner of the house where Amaya resided.
"Y-yeah Hoshimi I'm in my room."
I went in her room to find Amaya curled up in a red blanket and wiping her tear stained face.
"Awhhh cousin! What's got you holed up in your room? It isn't like you to screw up a perfect attendance record. You know besides that one other time but whatever."
"I know," Amaya giggled slightly, "but I had this dream and it really freaked me out."
"Ok tell me."
As she laid out the dream, I grit my teeth. When Amaya got to the end she quietly said, "But I refuse to still be into a jerk like that."
"Don't be. You have a new guy, Tamaki!" Amaya rolled her red eyes, "you know he's not mine."
"He could be~!" I sang.
Amaya shoved me playfully, "I wish." We laughed but I could see that Amaya still wasn't a hundred percent into our current conversation. Maybe a change of scenery would bring back that dazzling smile of hers.
"Hey I know what you need." I said with an idea.
"What?" Amaya asked shifting.
"Chocolate from a chocolate fountain! We're going to Golden Corral!" I announced.
"But I don't wanna get uuuupppp!" Amaya groaned.
"Nope you're coming. I'll drag you if I have to." I threatened.
Amaya looked me in the eyes. She finally stood up. "You actually would so I'll get changed and we'll go."
"Yay!" I cheered. But wait, what if Amaya decides that because she's upset she should wear something really ugly and we accidentally run into Tamaki. Then he'll be thrown off, won't like Amaya' go for Haruhi. Not to mention poor Amaya will be heartbroken…AGAIN and- OH HECK NAW! No way am I going to let my cousin become some old cat lady!
"Hold up!" I yelled to her. Amaya turned around as she took down a hanger from the small walk-in closet.
"Yeah Hoshimi?"
"Can I help you put together an outfit? Or at least supervise so you don't choose sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt?" I begged. Amaya started giggling, "Sure Hoshimi. If that'll make you feel comfortable but I don't want you to watch me when I change. It'd be creepy if you did that." Amaya shuddered at the thought.
"And incest~!" I singsonged, wiggling my eyebrows at her. Amaya burst out laughing, clutching at her stomach.
Amaya laughed between her words, "Oh God, you're too much Hoshimi."
I grinned at Amaya, finally Amaya seemed slightly better. "So; about those outfits!"
Later at Golden Corral (still Hoshimi's POV)
"I know right?" I laughed, gasping for air so I could finish my story. "And so anyways, he kept saying the last part of the word like dome and the whole class burst out laughing."
"Well it's funny. Why wouldn't they laugh?" Amaya giggled.
"I don't know!" I laughed along with my cousin. My face was probably red but I didn't care. Everything was going well now that Amaya was happy again; at least on the surface or for this moment. I smiled at my cousin as she bit into a nacho chip covered in cheese.
"Now I'm getting hungrier watching you eat!" I complained.
"It's a buffet Hoshimi. Go get food if you're hungry." Amaya pointed out.
I squinted my eyes at her, "Way to point out the obvious Honor Roll." Amaya stuck her tongue out and me and I laughed. My eyes went towards the buffet. So because eating more would shut up my wonderful cousin, I grabbed a plate and looked around for something tasty.
Julianna Steinberg's POV (I'm sorry if you have this same name and you're not this girl but if you are then I'm not. Don't mess w/ my llc)
A masculine pair of hands covered my eyes, "Guess who babe?"
I smiled into my boyfriend's hands and led them to my waist. "Hey Dakota. Glad you could make it."
Dakota grinned as he sent his hands further down. I groaned as quietly as I could while still enticing Dakota. He smiled but I saw his eyes make their way in another direction.
Dallas gulped, "Hey isn't that..?" I followed his line of vision and saw my enemy, Hoshimi. "What's she doing here?" I screeched to Dakota.
What is that fat wench doing here? Pigging out alone I'm guessing.
Currently unaware of our presence, Hoshimi walked back to a table where girl about 16 or 17 with longer than shoulder length brown, red-orange-ish highlighted hair, bangs, and hazel eyes is sitting. The girl is also wearing a gray and white sweater dress. Hoshimi says something and the girl smiled back at her and gives a response. The two throw their heads back and laugh harder.
"What the heck is so funny?" I ask to no one in particular.
"I don't know but I'm glad she looks happy." Dakota sighed.
I rolled my eyes and turned Dallas's attention back to me. "Look, you were the one who followed my orders and got yourself broken up with her. I told you: 'Push yourself on her and you get Hoshimi and me'. It's not MY fault she found out and dumped you. But who cares? You have me now."
I slipped my arms around Dakota's neck and kissed him. But he only seemed to half respond.
Why is it that Hoshimi always ends up being happier than I am? Why? Why does she get what she wants even though I've made her so miserable? She doesn't deserve this! I do! I'll show her. Hoshimi's soon gonna know her place soon: six feet under my words.
Hoshimi's POV
As I'm eating, I randomly look around and observe the people in the building. An old woman shaking as she pours herself soup. A five year old, running for the chocolate fountain. Julianna Steinberg sitting at a table a few feet away with my ex, Dakota, both of them watching Amaya and me—wait what? No no no no no! This can't be happening! Not this girl who has bullied me and made me feel so worthless. Not when I've finally started forgetting everything. Then there's the guy who wanted me to go farther than kissing or whatever with him in the first month of us dating. I can't let Amaya know about them. She has enough going on in her life right now.
I begin to laugh, "Hey, Amaya. I got an idea: let's go to Superplay and do some laser tag! That'll be even more of a distraction."
Amaya looked at me with her analyzing eyes. I got slightly stiff. Great, she knew something was up. Why must you know me so well Amaya?
"Why? What's wrong with this place?" Amaya tested.
I laughed a bit more, trying to hurry my cousin out the door, "Nothing! It's just getting really packed in here."
"Hmm, I guess. But c'mon, I wanna get an ice cream cone before we go." Amaya brushed off my excuse. I must be getting better at lying. I gave up on leaving right that second since Amaya was complying and I let her skip over to the ice cream machine like the kid Amaya really is inside. I giggled, "What a child."
"You seem happy." A voice that was so familiar and cold whispered behind me. I whipped myself around to face Julianna. A sickening smile was plastered on her face.
"What's wrong Hoshimi? You look like you've seen a ghost? Maybe you're finally realizing you're no match for me?" My bully sneered, eyeing me up and down. From a distance, I could see Dallas, hiding his face, trying not to draw any attention to him but doing just the opposite.
"You wish Steinberg. I'm just looking at a cow in her natural habitat. So don't mind me." I retorted, rolling my eyes as I took a step forward to escape the evil girl and get back to Amaya. But Julianna didn't want this to end with a point for me so she put a hand on my shoulder. Instantly, I froze and felt like I was gonna puke all over the green and blue tile.
"Don't be such a wuss. You just don't want to be around me because I stole your boyfriend. Well, that and I completely ruined your life back in middle school." The annoying wench let out a single laugh. The sound was like fingernails on a chalkboard.
I started raising my voice, appalled at this chick. "Look Julianna. I'm sick of being your puppet and I'm not gonna let you get me down anymore."
All at once, Julianna went to take a swing at me but someone in that instant rushed in front of me, grabbed Julianna's hand, and twisted it behind her back. I gasped as I identified the person protecting me.
"Amaya? What are you doing?"
My cousin looked back at me. "Hey, I've had three years of tae kwon do and I'm watching as my own cousin is being bullied publicly. Don't you think I'd do something? Girl, I just abandoned ice cream for you."
This girl, I thought, silently laughing at the situation.
"Now," Amaya continued, "I don't know who you are or how you know my cousin but I will certainly not tolerate the bashing of Hoshimi and especially not violence when she was only defending herself." Amaya twisted harder on Julianna's arm as she went on.
"Now, if you don't leave Hoshimi alone, I'm going to have to kill you. Understand?" Amaya threatened, her hazel eyes turning somewhat dark brown. A shudder ran through my body. My cousin can be really scary when she wants to be.
"W-What? You can't do something like that! That's illegal!" Julianna stammered.
"Hey, what's going on?" Dallas exclaims, rushing over since he finally noticed his 'girlfriend' being harassed. What an ignorant pig. What had I seen in him? Dakota suddenly turns to me, "This is your fault isn't it?"
"What? You're blaming this on me? SHE was the one who went to punch me!" I defended.
Dakota scoffed, "You sure you didn't provoke her?" Amaya and I's jaws dropped.
In perfect unison we screeched, "Is this guy serious?" Amaya squinted her practically fiery eyes at my ex, "Look whoever you are-"
"He's me ex-boyfriend, Dakota. He was being a pervert and NOT the kind I like. As in, he was rushing our relationship when we'd only gone out for a month. Then I found out this girl, Julianna who was a bully to me in middle school, had told him to. So I ended it and by that time I was in Ouran and away from those slime bags." I explained to Amaya.
After my little story, Amaya's face softened and she shoved Julianna over to Dakota and they fell. "Oh Hoshimi, why didn't you tell me something like that happened? And here I am complaining about MY love life!" Amaya ranted.
I laughed, "It's ok! I have that yummy Kaoru remember?" I licked my lips for good measure. Amaya facepalmed which caused the both of us to burst into giggles. Of course by now, the restaurant had their eyes on us and the staff was panicking and calling for the manager and police. But I didn't care; this was actually fun in a weird sense.
"What's wrong with you two?" Julianna sneered in disgust. I turned to my enemy.
"Nothing. Now that I have people who actually care for me," I glared at Dakota, "I don't have to be self-conscious of myself anymore. I can stand strong and be myself."
With that, I linked arms with Amaya and we walked out of Golden Corral and went to go have some more fun together.
Amaya's POV
It had been a long day full of confrontations for Hoshimi and me.
I had to come to terms with the fact that there was a part of me that still liked Hiroki. But when Hoshimi told me about the side of Dakota that she hadn't known it all became clear. I wasn't in love with Hiroki, but rather who I thought he was. I had let myself fallen in love with someone who was two-faced. How ridiculous of me.
Hoshimi also realized that her life is great now. Hoshimi doesn't have to be concerned if no one will accept her or not because she has people who love her. Whether she knows it or not, there are so many people who would give Hoshimi the world if they could. Kaoru and I might just be the ones to fit in that category for Hoshimi.
The night of both of our epiphanies, a story came on the news. A woman with shoulder length, wavy, red hair and green eyes interrupted our regular anime. At first we booed at the screen, throwing popcorn at it until we listened in shock.
"Two teenagers died in a forest near one of Japan's Golden Corrals. The police identified the two as Julianna Steinberg and Dakota Marquez under an old bridge. A witness says the two stormed out after a fight in Golden Corral and went in the wrong direction of the parking lot. The bridge behind the Golden Corral was going to be rebuilt because of its age. The bodies of these two were found down in a forest ditch by a passing jogger. More with the story as it follows." The woman reported.
Hoshimi and I looked at each other. A few moments of silence passed until we burst out laughing.
"Those bakas!" We howled, rolling on the floor. I grinned as we wiped away the happy tears and clutched at our stomachs that were in pain but the good kind of pain.
"They got what was coming to them." I shrugged.
"Definitely!" Hoshimi agreed. "So we should go upload pics from our day today on Facebook."
"Absolutely." I grabbed my cousin's hand and we ran to my bedroom laughing with pure happiness overflowing from us. Could life get any better than this?
