Chapter 10- Intervention:
Amelia:
"I'm afraid that I just don't understand him," I rambled, as I looked at Eve- her empty sockets looking at me.
I stood there in the buff*, showing all my skin as I found that the more comfortable than jammies.
"Kyoya's an interesting man, and frankly, the first that I might even be interested in. No, I'm not interested in him- that's human error. I'm not human, not in that sense. I'm a consulting detective and Kyoya Ootori will not undo me. I can use it to my advantage, however. As a woman, I can easily manipulate men as needed, though I despise that method- it is practical in some rare cases. Kyoya Ootori cannot be manipulated, but he could be fooled. The problem is, I might become a victim of human error myself, for if I feign interest in him in that sense, I might actually develop a farther interest in that sense if I have not already."
I looked at into black sockets as I held the skull in my palm, "what would Father say to my simple human blunder? I'm absolutely buggered.*"
"Miss Holmes," Mimi's voice said through the door as she knocked. When she came in, she looked a bit flustered at my current state.
"… Are you alright?"
"Perfectly fine, why do you ask?"
I turned to look at Mimi, Eve's own skull looking at Mimi as well. Mimi paled,
"Well, Miss, you're… talking to a skull. That's a bit… strange."
"Interesting. Many of my habits seem to be considered strange, for example, the way that I shoot at the wall when I get bored exactly three times before I get bored of shooting and start to play the violin. Whatever music I play tends to reflect my mood since I've told that I'm rather poor at actually expressing my emotions very well…"
She seemed to be a bit uncomfortable, but then again most people are.
"MISS HOLMES!"
"Ah," I said, "it appears as though Williams found my experiment."
"Yo-your experiment?"
"I went to the local morgue and got some eyeballs. I placed them in the microwave to see how the heat and time affected them."
Mimi fainted and I frowned. The other maid, Tsuki, came in.
"Oh dear, you told her about the eyeballs, didn't you?"
"I fail to see how that's a reason for someone to faint."
"Miss Holmes, please be a dear and put a robe on before you come down for diner, Finny's downstairs and I don't wish for the poor boy to faint."
"If you're inferring that he would faint because I'm in the buff, I fail to see why. He's most likely seen naked women before."
"Dear," Tsuki shook her head, "You analyzed Finny, do you really think that he's seen naked women before?"
"Point taken, I suppose that I will wear that robe then if it makes you more comfortable."
"Thank you Miss Holmes."
I did follow Tsuki's suggestion simply because she reminded me of Hudson. Oh, the times that Hudson has nearly had a heart attack because I didn't care to wear a robe to get the mail. I wrapped theblack robe around my body and loosely tied it around my waist.
I made my way down to the kitchen to the kitchen. Williams was vivid as he stood there with his hand to his hand,
"Miss Holmes, I asked you to not experiment in the kitchen."
"And I choose to ignore you," I waved him off, "Now for diner?"
As I sat down, I looked down at my cell phone. Still no calls or messages besides the ones from Kyoya and Hunny. I will sit by but if I do not receive a reply within two days from Father or Uncle, I will be going to London and no one will stop me.
Third Person:
The next day, Kyoya kept a close eye on Amelia during class. Tamaki was already in tears before she even walked through the door. Though Tamaki wasn't only host to be saddened by the revelation yesterday. It was quite a shock to everyone, besides Kyoya, that Amelia had done drugs, had a nicotine addiction, and other things.
During class, Tamaki was crying, but he didn't approach Amelia under Kyoya's orders. Kyoya had something up his sleeve, something that he had been thinking over for quite a while. What if Amelia were to join the club? Though, he ordered Tamaki, along with the others, to try and steer clear of Amelia as he was unable to predict what Amelia might do if she were still upset.
Amelia wasn't upset at all- annoyed slightly, but not upset. Hunny and Takashi had not so stealthily avoided her before school had started, which put a bit of a damper on her mood. Though, she expected as much. People who claimed to be her friends usually weren't in the end no matter what they had promised. In the end, it's best to have no friends, less chance of human error.
Even after school, at the host club, Tamaki wouldn't stop crying that 'the precious gifted princess' had done such things. Haruhi was saddened, though since Amelia said that it was in the past, Haruhi believed that. She believed that what Amelia did was in the past and should be left alone. Takashi was a bit indifferent on the subject, though Hunny was saddened. He was wailing about 'Amelia-chan!'.
Eventually, Tamaki stopped crying in order to think up outrageous theories about Amelia- ranging from her being a drug lord in disguise, to becoming poor from her addiction in order to pay for drugs/nicotine patches."Guys," Haruhi said with her arms crossed, "When Amelia-senpai shows up, we really shouldn't mention it. It might upset her."
"Haruhi is correct," Kyoya said, pushing up his glasses, "Amelia isn't to be trifled with."
"What she might deduce us to death," Hikaru scoffed, Kaoru hesitantly joined in laughter.
"Actually," Kyoya pointed out, "Her uncle happens to be in a very high position under the service of the Queen of England. Not to mention that records state that her father, and her uncle for that matter, do not appreciate it when people are poor to her."
Hunny titled his head,
"Wow, Amelia-chan has family connections, doesn't she, Kyoya?"
"Indeed, which is why we shouldn't-"
"I GOT IT," Tamaki declared loudly, "Amelia needs an intervention!"
The twins smirked evilly,
"An intervention? We got it covered…"
*buff- naked
*buggered- screwed
