Hello everybody...I'm a bit tired...I've been doing all nighters every single night this week. Just for this story (It's not your fault, though). I couldn't go to sleep because I kept thinking of really cute or funny things to put in...and now I'm going brain dead...owe. And I have to go to church in like...eight hours...no, seven! ARGH! Anyway, we have new people joining us in our adventure with Yuri-chan! (Sorry, I know some of you were here earlier than others but...) Here they are: Shashuko the paisley maiden, credibley insane, xsunnysideup, and dragonofsnow. Shasahuko the paisley maiden is like my sempai, and so she shall be called Shashuko-sempai from now on! YAY! Woo, I got a one minute burst of energy from reading everyone's reviews! Okay, time to type fast--(hyper level goes to 0)...never mind...just read the darn story...I'll be asleep. Leave lovely notes, though! Much appreciated! And my stories will be taking longer to make, seeing that school is coming up. Sigh...Oh, and the pictures of Yuri-chan on deviantart are up! Go to Kitaxhaku.deviantart to see them! - Kita Haku.
"Annual...event?" I asked with Haruhi. Two girls explained to us what was going on. All the cultural clubs were happening in a festival like event. Once I got that, I turned to the twins, who were with Renge.
"You've never had instant coffee?" They asked. I walked over as she sweated nervously. "As the manager, you have to try it!" They said. She said that she knew what it was, but they said she was wrong when she started explaining how it was made. They said it was strangely addicting, and ranted on about it. "Speaking of which...we've run out..." They stepped over to Haruhi and asked her to buy some more. While that went on, I saw Renge slip out. I sighed.
"I'll go with you, Haruhi-chan." I said when the twins sent her out. Two girls came up and thanked Haruhi.
"Those two had always been so solitary before the host club came." I blinked, listening. "They used to be alone all the time, and didn't seem to like school that much. But when the host club came, they warmed up a little. And when Haruhi came...they became very social. And Yuri-chan..." I blinked, looking from Haruhi. "They've become such loyal people! And protective too!"
"They remind me of lions! We should call them the lion twins!" The other girl started squeeling and they went inside. I smiled inwardly and giggled.
"I had no idea they'd been so different." I said to Haruhi as we started walking out. She nodded. "I'm glad...too..." She looked at me with a tilted eyebrow and I blushed a little. "I'm glad they like me enough to change...it makes me so happy..." We ended up getting a large bag of instant coffee and walked back. Haruhi seemed to be dazing off, and I saw a banana peel fly in front of her. I tried to warn her, by grabbing her arm, but another banana peel slipped from under my foot. We crashed down, some of the coffee cases falling. A gentle hand guided my body back up, and both Haruhi and I stared in to a goddess's face. I stared, her face seeming familiar. She stood back up with us and turned to Haruhi.
"It'd be a shame if such a cute face got scratched...madam..." While Haruhi looked up in surprise, I felt a chill run through my spine. Slowly, I turned to stare at her with sweat rolling down my cheek. She flipped her short, brown hair in to the air with a smile. Now I knew who it was...no one else...
We came to the third music room to see two of Benibara's (the girl who had caught us) lackys. Benibara was holding us closely and demonstrated what she thought the men of the host club really should be doing. When she pecked both our (Haruhi and I) hands, I screamed and ran in to the room, only to be stared down at by the lackys: Suzuran and Hinagiku. I lowered my head nervously. Please don't notice me...please...please!
"Ah? Haven't we seen you before?" Suzuran asked, pulling my shoulder so that I came closer. She lifted my chin and stared at my eyes. "Ah! I have! It's my darling, my little darling Yuri!" I backed away and ducked, covering my arms.
"Ah, Yuri-chan, it's been such a long time, my love!" Hinagiku said.
"D-d-d-don't touch me!" I yelled before they scooted up. I scooted back in responce and ended up going in to Benibara's arm.
"Benibara-sama! You're late." Suzuran said, as if forgetting I was there. I wanted to stand up, but Benibara was stronger than she looked. While the other two looked at Haruhi, Benibara turned to me.
"It's been such a long time, Yuri-chan." She said, hugging me closely. "Where did you go, for all these years? Why, we haven't seen you since middle school!" She said, tearing up. "It's such a shame such a beautiful girl had to come to this school." She said, sighing. Tamaki suddenly ran up, saying something about not touching his princesses, and Benibara punched him angrily. "Don't touch these fair maidens!" She stood up, gently letting go of me, and started ranting on the guys. I crawled over to Haruhi, clearly exposed of my fear for these girls, and she asked who they were. But Kyoya pushed up his glasses and looked at them.
"Judging by the uniform, I'm guessing you are from Lobelia Girls' Academy?" He asked. She smiled.
"Indeed." I was hiding behind Haruhi now, saying my prayers.
"Don't take me back there...don't take me back there..." I whispered. They threw their clothes off and reveiled costumes. I gaked at them before fainting. When I woke up again, the twins were laughing at the Zuka club. Renge said that they shouldn't, and they stopped laughing as the ground shook. She came out of the ground, laughing. she was under an umbrella with flower petals falling from around it.
"I may not know much about instant coffee..." She said, "but leave it to me to be moe about girls' school." She took a sip of her coffee, and didn't seem to like her expensive buy. After dabbing her face, she looked up and started talking about Lobelia's school. "The garden of Maidens...within the school, the Zuka club are a gathering of maiden who are amongst the strongest advocates of women supremecy." When she finished, she lowered back in to the ground. Everyone had changed out of their clothes, and back to their uniforms.
"Beauty of a maiden..." Suzuran said, folding her hands together upon her chest, "It is pure energy that rivals against the external looks, power, and lust."
"Because we are women..." Hinagiku started, "we're tired of the oppression put on us because of you men."
"Our pride..." Benibara said, "a mutual feeling that flows through the bottom of our souls because of our common gender and resolve..." She turned in her robe with her drink in her hand. I sat there, covering my nose. This wasn't good. I had to get away... "For example," She stared at me, "it could even be a love relationship." She winked at me, but I jumped behind Haruhi again. By then, the boys were no longer listening. The twins told them to go home, and they said it was worth while to peek at the pointless host club. They turned, and Benibara leaned on the door where Haruhi was. I scattered from behind her in fear, but the other two cuddled with me. The twins, who were staring at me with raised eyebrows, grinned. Once they had let go, Haruhi asked me to go with her to make coffee. I gladly accepted her offer and we crept in. We made the coffee in silence and she carried out three cups. She turned, asking if I could bring the sugar and cream, and I took them with a sigh.
"I hope they leave soon..." I whispered. Before Haruhi could ask, we were at the Zuka club's feet. Haruhi offered the coffee, and Tamaki, who had been sleeping off the shock, woke up and dove forward. His finger landed in to a cup of coffee, and he burned his hand. Honey started blowing on his finger, and we walked over with sighs. "Ah, Tamaki-san. Please be more careful." I said as we crouched down. I pulled out the bandages we'd gotten extra from the market, and Haruhi wrapped his finger. He stared at it and asked questions like the moron he was. Haruhi only smiled, though. Suddenly, we were pulled in to hugs. I got two hugs, switching from Hinagiku and Suzuran, while Haruhi got a solid hug from Benibara. I gaked at the two hugging me. "Please...let me go..." I said.
"We shall start the transfer papers for these maidens immedeatily!" Benibara announced. "Then, we shall bring them in to the Zuka club!" She called. Everyone stared with wide eyes, and the two pulling me back and forward started again.
"Isn't that great? Now, Yuri-chan, we can be together again."
"Just like old times!" I shook my head.
"No! I'm not going anywhere with you!" I hugged myself and started shivering. They cuddled with me again, though, saying it was alright.
"We'll open your heart, and you'll be free to wander in the maiden's gardens once again..." They whispered in my ear. I shivered. When Haruhi broke away from Benibara, I was let go of. I ran behind the couch where the others were, and sat down, weeping in both fear and relief. Haruhi tried to cover up for the Host club, but they only confronted her. When Kyoya showed her the pencil he'd sold, she became angry and started yelling; calling them thieves.
"We're not thieves!" The twins called. "It was on the ground!" When she turned to look at them, they were drinking coffee. They looked at me, who was behind them, and asked why I was so shaken up.
"We shall come tomorrow!" They announced. "Then we shall decide who will get the fair maidens!" She tapped Haruhi on the shoulder and the other two rubbed their faces against mine. Finally, they twirled out and I fell on my side. Haruhi turned to them all, and excused herself. Kyoya took pictures of her face, but I stood in front of her.
"Let it go, Kyoya-san. Get more pictures later." We stepped out of the room, and I could hear Tamaki crying. I sighed before resting my hand on Haruhi's shoulder. "You know they mean well, Haruhi-chan." I said quietly. She sighed.
"Why do they act like such idiots?" She asked. I laughed a little.
"Well, the Zuka club were right about one thing...men are idiots." She turned to me as we walked on.
"How do you know them, anyway?" I jumped at the question, and smiled nervously. Sighing, I gave in.
"For middle school...I went to the main junior high school of Lobelia...and back then...I was a real tomboy...because of my seven brothers." I said, rubbing my eyes as Haruhi stared. "Benibara took an interest in me, and told me about the Zuka club. I agreed, saying I was bored, but once I saw what it was...I couldn't stand it. That was why I moved to India. They talked about it nonstop...and it was too much. I mean...they took pictures of me in my underwear when I changed for PE! I was uncomfortable, so I became more girly. I heard that they were still looking for me, so I made sure our name was kept in the low for a while...and then I ended up here. Every time I think about that school, I get chills. And when they touched me, I went over board." I said, rubbing my arms again. Haruhi started chuckling, but I said it wasn't funny. She stopped, and smiled at me.
"They might act a little different than the host club..." She said, "but they are the same personality wise." We started laughing together, feeling relieved.
"Ah, there you are, my other maiden." I looked up only to be swept off by the Loberia girls. "We've come to set you free, Yuri-chan!" They sang. I waved at Haruhi.
"Hi, Haruhi-chan."
"Hi Yuri-chan."
"I wonder what's going to happen now." We opened the doors, but everything was black. A shadow stood up, and sang Ouran in a high voice. I widened my eyes. Another. Another, another, another, and the lights went on. They revieled the host club members in dresses with heavy make up on. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So I did both. As Tamaki came forwrad, the Loberia girls felt insulted.
"Welcome, welcome, Haruhi." Tamaki said. I, who had been covering my mouth, looked at the door and started laughing. Honey, though, came up and twirled.
"Haru-chan! Yuri-chan! I'm a princess! Do I look good?" He asked. He twirled back and I followed like a love sick puppy dog. I met the face of Kaoru...or Hikaru...for once I couldn't tell. I started laughing again, and Kyoya looked down at me.
"This is going on your debt." He whispered. I laughed more, seeing him, and said I didn't care.
"This is too funny. You went this far...but...oh man...this is too great...you're gonna sell this, right?" I asked, taking pictures with a random camera. When Tamaki explained his 'you can have onee-samas and oniisamas' plan, I walked beside Haruhi and stared. The club members started talking to us; trying to convince her and I to stay. The Loberia singers felt threatened, and asked if a maiden would really fall for it. Haruhi and I looked at each other and started laughing. I leaned on her shoulder as we laughed hard, and then we fell on top of each other, still laughing.
"Oh man...I can't handle this! I knew you guys were idiots...but this..." Haruhi laughed hard, and I laughed harder. We were banging our hands on the ground.
"I...I told you so! H...Haruhi-chan! Their all...all idiots!" I gusted out. Honey and the twins leaned near us, and asked if they were funny. I tried holding in my laughter, but it only came out louder. "O-Oh! I can't take it! My stomach...my stomach!" I yelled. They started chasing us around, telling us to call them Onee-sama. Haruhi said no, while I just ran in laughter.
"Please stop already!" Haruhi said, sighing as they did and we rested on each other's back. "What are you guys thinking?" She asked. Hikaru rose his arms up.
"Because we want to work in this club with you." We switched looks before smiling.
"Fair maidens...you-" We stood up with smiles.
"I'm sorry. There are many different kinds of people in this world...and I do think your trail of thoughts is interesting, but I have a dream to fufill at this school. I never had any intention of leaving this school." I smiled from behind her,
"And as for me, I'm not as much as a tomboy as I used to be! I have manners now, and I, believe it or not," I blushed a little, "like a boy." The two lackys seemed shock at this, and froze, while Kaoru and Kyoya's ears perked up. "But I'm not going to leave this school ever. Not until graduation day." Tamaki put two and two together, and stomped up.
"Well, if you weren't going, why were you so mad?" He asked Haruhi.
"Anyone would get mad if their stuff got sold!" While Tamaki offered the bear pencil again, I was encountered by the twins.
"And why were you so mad?" I blinked, saying I wasn't. They looked at each other and turned their voices high, "Tell Onee-sama!" They said. I started laughing, and tried to squeal out.
"I...I was scared that they'd take me away! I...I went to a junior school that was popular with the Loberia school...and was asked to join the Zuka club! But...but I didn't go!" I said, still laughing. They looked at each other, and, after returning their voices to normal, asked why. I blinked. "Well, because it wasn't my kind of thing. Besides, I'm perfectly happy with you guys here...even if you are real idiots...I still can't believe you dressed like girls!" I yelled, turning in to another fit of laughter.
"Never!" Called Benibara called out. I sweat dropped as she grew large in front of me. "I shall never give up on the fair maidens trapped here by these men! We shall meet again!" They sang before spinning out and then slipping on banana slips. Renge rose up with a monkey by her.
"What shall happen as the Zuka club rises against the Host club? Don't give in!" She said before biting in to a banana. Tamaki told her not to think of things like that, and then too fell on a banana slip. I sighed.
"They're all idiots...but I love them." Kaoru, who had wiped the make up off his face, stood beside me.
"Whose the boy you like?" He asked randomely. I looked up with stained cheeks.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" I asked, nervously taunting him.
"Yes, I would." He answered quietly. I stared at him, the flower petals dancing over our heads. I playfully toyed with his springy hair and smiled.
"I'll tell you...but only when the time is right."
