Hello all! Here's the story- and a longer chapter! Yay.
I sighed, looking over at the twins and their evil smirking faces. Their faces just radiate evilness. I turned, crossing my arms over my chest and raising an eyebrow: don't trust smirking people. People whom smirk are scheming something. Or about to do something really bad.
"What do you want?" I demanded, tapping my foot 'impatiently' (nervously).
The twins casually looped their arms around each other, "Well, we wanted to take you and Haruhi" "on a nice little walk in a cave."
Translation: we want to take you and Haruhi somewhere no one can hear you scream.
"...Pass," I turned, walking away from them. There was a moment of silence before a twin was on either side, frowning disapprovingly at me.
"What? You don't trust us?" One asked... I really need to learn how to tell them apart.
"Nope," I popped the P, striding faster. They caught pace, one pouting and the other thinking how to get me to agree.
Before long they eventually left, leaving me to be on my own. I smiled, but also felt lonely. I know, I know, it was my own freaking fault for making them leave. But come on?! Would you go with the twins to a cave alone?
...
I thought so. I continued on, and I think I fell asleep sometime. On a rock. Well, rocks can be comfy. Stop judging. I was tired.
But that's not the point. The point is that I woke up to yelling. Angry yelling. Coming from a cliff.
Shrieking, as a matter of fact.
I jumped up, still half-dazed, and running toward the cliff. I stumbled a little but I got there. I started running up the cliff before I looked over the edge.
High.
Very very high.
And over water. Deep, deep water.
I froze
I started to back up, back to the safety of the beach below, but the screaming at the top of the cliff made me stop again. They needed help- two drunks were messing with them. But I couldn't... I... I couldn't. I'm so weak.
A blur of person ran past me. Haruhi. She ran to the top of the cliff, as emotionless as she usually was, and told the drunks to stop. Only to be pushed off the cliff, falling to the ocean below.
Her name was called and Tamaki sped past me, not even glancing at me once before jumping in after her. The twins came close behind, and one started beating the drunks, the other stopped at me staring. Half questioningly, half angry.
Yerp. I really screwed this one up.
Hikaru stared down at me, arms crossed. Kaoru at his side. I sat one a rock, hugging myself and trying to distract myself by watching Tamaki emerge from the ocean, Haruhi in his arms. But it was to little help because the glare the twins were giving me was really making me guilty. I should've helped her.
"Why didn't you help Haruhi?" Hikaru demanded, tapping his foot.
I ducked my gaze, staring at the sand, "I... Uh, I froze."
"Yeah, we noticed," "but why?" They asked again.
Damn, "Because I did. I, um, what does it even matter? Everything turned out Ok," I quickly replied, crossing my arms but still refusing to meet their gaze.
There was a disapproving sigh, "What if it didn't. What if they started hurting Haruhi or one of the guests, would you have just watched?"
"No-!"
"Then why did you just stand there?"
I finally met their gazes. Both staring hard at me, a frown on their faces. They were so disappointed in me. I was disappointed in me! I really don't need this crap right now! Stupid twins, stupid Hikaru...
Dammit!
I stood abruptly, glaring back at the twins, "I was scared! Alright? Are you happy now? I was scared. Now can you please get off my case? Sheesh, leave me alone."
After the little outburst, I turned and started striding toward the house, ignoring everything. The twins calling after me. Tamaki yelling about Haruhi. Haruhi yelling back. The sun falling. The birds. I was ignoring everything, and only scolding myself for my stupidity, my own fear, everything.
Damn, I really hate everything right now.
I was sitting in the room watching Haruhi mumble over her little pink frilly dress her dad packed her. My legs swung back and forth from my perch on her bed and I propped my arms up on my knees, leaning forward. I watched with an eyebrow quirked as she stripped and threw the dress on, letting out an exasperated sigh.
"I really don't like things like this, but my dad is always trying to get me to wear them. I don't get why."
"Cause you look really cute in them?" I piped, smiling at her expression.
"Maybe. Still, I don't like this frilly stuff."
"Neither do I. That's why I'm still in shorts and a t-shirt."
Haruhi glared at me before turning back to the mirror to fix her dress.
"You know," I drawled on after a while, "In a dress, you look more guy-ish. But dressed as a guy you look more girl-ish. It's weird."
She stopped and turned to me, "...really?"
I nodded, "Yeah, but you still look adorable either way. It's unfair."
She smiled, rolling her eyes, "Yeah, yeah. Come on, let's join them for food."
I smiled and stood, following her out the door. I still didn't want to face the twins but... Food. Food is my dearly beloved, and is calling my name.
I let Haruhi go first, wanting to witness the reaction of one little Host king and... Yep. Priceless.
We sat down at the table, me making sure I was far away from the twins. On the opposite side of the table, as a matter of fact. Haruhi was pigging out on the crabs she and honey caught, while the table stayed flabbergasted at her piggy appetite. I only ate a little, kinda no appetite, but when they said dessert is pie I suddenly gained my appetite...hm, pie. Or cake. Honey will have cake, of course.
Snapping out of my thought, I saw Haruhi pail. Her hands flew up over her mouth, and I backed away.
"That's what happens when you want to be a pig Haruhi! Don't trust the pigs!" I called after her retreating form. Poor, poor barfing Haruhi.
I turned around, only to have a body blocking my path. A body I have been trying to avoid, as Haruhi was trying to avoid Tamaki.
I rolled my eyes, trying to go around him when the twin took hold of my hand and dragged me out of the room, "Heeeelp!" I called, "I'm being kidnapped!"
Everyone stared, and I saw Kaoru do a little thumbs up.
I hate him.
Let him rot in the fiery depths of hell.
In the room I was place on the bed. Awkward. Like, why the bed? The bed is the one place you don't want to be when your alone in a room with the person you may or may not have a little crush on. Unless, of course, you want to. Then yeah. The bed or couch will be best. The couch, of course, would be a lot more exciting of a place I think. Based in Pg-13 or R rated movies I watched.
I'm still innocent you perverts. Ok, maybe not innocent, but I haven't even had my first kiss! Much less actually... Ew. Just ew.
Hikaru sat next to me, looking at the ground. We sat in the awkward silence awkwardly on his bed, "You know, I didn't mean to be so mad at you. I didn't want to make you feel bad."
"Well then, you failed."
"I know,"
"..."
"Can you forgive me?"
I scoffed, "How am I supposed to forgive you if you don't even apologize?"
"Sorry?"
"Not good enough."
He huffed, "Then how am I supposed to apologize?"
I smirked, crossing my legs and leaning back on my hands, "Get on one knee, bow, and kiss my feet."
He smirked at me, getting down on one knee in front of me. He took my foot and kissed the top, never breaking eye contact with me, "I'm so sorry," he purred, still not letting go of my leg, "Will you ever find it in your heart to forgive someone like myself?"
My face went beet red. He... He's trying to seduce me! I know it! There's always a reason like this when a guy puts you on the bed! Never trusts the beds.
I stood abruptly, walking stiffly out of the room, hiding my still red face, "Y-yeah. Sure. Forgiven. Bye." I dashed out the room, blushing even more as his laughs followed me out of the room.
Stupid Hikaru!
I lied on the floor, still refusing to go up on the bed. The last ten minutes playing in my mind on a rerun.
Hikaru caressing my foot, his lips making my skin tingle. His deep voice-ok, not super deep. Not like Mori deep. But still just as sexy.
I... Damn teenage hormones!
My face went red again. I hate how he can make me blush. I didn't think he would actually do that! I mean, I just thought he would screw around and we would laugh it off. N-not screw around like that! I meant tease each other for getting mad at each other then leave like nothing happened! Gosh, today is just not my day.
Woohoo! Look at this! Now, you know-sorta- her fear. More on the fear next chapter! And Hikaru... Shame on him, seducing our poor little Shira.
Please keep reviewing!
