Suddenly Kaoru stopped as Hikaru walked up beside him. Each brother bowed, extending a hand. "May we have this dance?" They both asked.
Ayumi was silent and, it seemed, comically frightened. She eyed the twins for a few seconds before turning her back to them and walking off. "Keep dremin' pals." She told them as she neared the doors.
The orange-haired boys looked to each other and smirked, standing up strait. "Ladies and gentlemen!" Hikaru screamed. "We have a very special treat!"
Kaoru nodded as he kept one eye on Ayumi and one eye on the crowd. "The special lady our king was talking about earlier, do you all wish to know who she is?" There was a roar of voices as the music stopped and everyone stared. "The lucky lady tonight is…"
The brothers looked to each other one last time. "Nakamura Ayumi!" They screamed together, pointing back to the girl who had the door halfway opened, but stopped.
"What?" She screamed, turning back to the two. "What the hell are you two shit-for-brains talking about?"
They both smiled. "Well surely you knew!" Hikaru told her.
"Yeah, I mean, our Lord made the announcement earlier!"
"It's not that you dumb-ass!" She screamed, walking over to them menacingly. "So, if I'm the special girl, what the hell is my prize? Getting to pummel you two over the head a couple hundred times?" She asked as all the girls stared, horrified.
Keeping their smiles the brothers shook their heads. "Noooo…" They said in unison as they each quickly grabbed one of Ayumi's hands, Hikaru on the left, Kaoru on the right.
"What are you two doing?" She asked them as they leaned in towards her.
"This…" Kaoru whispered in her ear. "Is your prize."
Ayumi gave him a confused look. "This? Getting my hands held by twi…" She stopped, eyes wide, as each brother leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek softly.
The girls surrounding them stared, silent, at the scene. They then all took in a deep breath and then let out a high pitched squeal. While, in the corner on the opposite side of the room, Mori was holding back Tamaki, who was screaming "This was not part of the plan!" and kicking about frantically.
A few seconds later the Hitachiin brothers let go of Ayumi and stepped back. "There, that's your prize."
Ayumi closed her eyes and sighed, brushing off her dress as she headed towards the opposite end of the hall, where a table with punch and snacks stood. She was stopped halfway by a swarm of girls who were both anxious and angry at what had happened.
"Ayumi! Why do you get to be kissed by two Hosts!?" One screamed.
"Why do you get to be kissed at all!?" Screamed another.
"Ayumi! What kind of connection do you have with Kaoru and Hikaru!?"
"I thought they only loved each other!"
"How come your so special!?"
"Ladies!" Hikaru yelled as he walked into the crowd, Kaoru close behind. "This will not change anything at the Host Club. Only, we may have another guest." He looked to Ayumi with a smile as he stood beside her, Kaoru walking up to her other side.
Ayumi scoffed. "Please, I'm still not coming to that Boast Club." She told them, crossing her arms. The girls surrounding them glared at her.
"Um, Ayumi, you may wanna watch it around the ladies." Kaoru told her cautiously.
"What are they gonna do?" Ayumi asked with a smirk as she eyed all the girls before her. "Claw out my eyes with their perfectly manicured nails, or suffocate me to death with their toxic hairspray?" She laughed and pushed through the ocean of enraged hormones. "Please, I could kick anyone of their asses, nails plain and hair flat."
One girl in the group had had enough. "Ayumi! Stop this right now, you are ruining the party, and that is not part of the…"
"Of the what Renge? The plan? Ha, please, you have no plan, you are just along for the ride, watching at how everything plays out! Just like in the garden when you pulled me into the hedge!"
Renge gasped. "You…knew it was me?" She asked, eyes wide.
"Of course! Anyone would know that high pitched, squeaky ass voice! Now leave me alone and let me live my life without a narrator at every turn!" She screamed as she headed towards the doors.
Renge's eyes narrowed as she clenched her teeth, walking and blocking off Ayumi's path. "Dress." She told her as she held out a hand.
"What?" Ayumi asked, a little confused.
"The dress, give it to me." She commanded. "I let you borrow it for tonight, as part of my…my plan…and now I want it back."
Ayumi laughed. "You think this is going to embarrass me or something? I'll gladly give you this dress right here, right now if you seriously want it."
Renge continued to stare into Ayumi's eyes. "Now."
Ayumi shrugged with a smile. "Alright." She told her as she reached behind her, finding the zipper and gripping it between her fingers.
"A-Ayumi! Wait, you're not really gonna…um…strip in front of everyone, are you?" Kaoru asked from behind the sea of girls.
Ayumi didn't look to him. "I don't think of it as striping." She told him simply. "I'm just giving Renge back her dress…it's the least I can do…" She told him, her voice still a bit cold.
Kaoru and Renge both gave her a confused look, as did everyone else, as she quickly undid the zipper. "A-Ayumi!" Kaoru yelled again, trying to break through the girls, but being stopped by Hikaru who grabbed his arm. "Hikaru?"
"Let her do as she wants, you just heard her speech to Renge, right?" Hikaru asked him. Kaoru sighed and nodded, standing by his brother.
Ayumi laughed lightly to herself as she looked to the dress. It was white and reached just above her knees, the layers running up to the top, where it stopped, strapless. "Funny, never thought I'd be doing this." She told herself as she let go of the dress, letting it fall to her ankles.
Everyone around her gasped, everyone except Renge, that is. "Here." Ayumi said as she picked the dress up from the ground, dusting it off gently. She zipped up the back carefully. "Hope I didn't dirty it up too much." She told her with a grin.
"Y-you…what…you knew?" Renge yelled, stunned.
"Huh?" Ayumi asked, confused. "Knew what?" She looked down to her body, smiling wider, this time a bit evilly. "Oh yeaaaah, this." She looked back up to Renge. "I'm always prepared, I mean, come on, it's a strapless dress! Who wouldn't be prepared for something like this? You'd have to be an idiot!" She laughed at her own joke but slowly stopped, looking to all the girls around her, most wearing a strapless dress like hers. "Oh, um…oops…" She muttered as she backed up towards the door. "Come on ladies, I was only joking!" She told them sincerely, waving her hands as a last defense.
Kaoru and Hikaru where laughing softly to themselves as they watched Ayumi, who had a black, slim dress on that looked much similar to lingerie, being backed into a door by angry girls. "She had it coming." Kaoru told his brother, who just nodded.
"Um, ladies, please, you know this was all just a play right? I mean, none of this would really happen, it was just tonight's entertainment!" Ayumi told them with a shaky laugh. But no one believed her, every girl just continued to push her back until someone stepped in between them.
"Ladies, please, enough!" Tamaki yelled, his arms stretched out as he stood in front of Ayumi. "This has all been the entertainment, although it doesn't really seem like it." He told them all.
"Tamaki?" A few girls questioned as they calmed down.
Ayumi glared at him and quickly spun him around, grabbing the collar of his shirt as she pulled him down. "Listen Tamaki, I want some answers on all of this." She told him angrily.
Tamaki smiled as he looked to Renge with a wink, who gave him a blank look but suddenly realized what he was doing. She nodded and looked to all the girls. "Ladies! It looks like King Tamaki has found a queen!" She screamed.
"WHAT!?" All the ladies screamed.
"WHAT!?" Hikaru and Kaoru screamed along with them. "This wasn't part of the plan!" They yelled at each other.
"WHAT!?" Ayumi yelled with everyone else.
"WHAT!?" This time it was the rest of the Host's turn to contribute, except for Hunny, who just continued to eat cake and smile.
Kyoya dropped his pen and clipboard and stared, as did Haruhi and Mori. "T-Tamaki…" He muttered, not sure if this was true or not.
"Ayumi, I have been watching you for a while now and I have noticed a change in your mood." Tamaki told her softly, leaning in so their noses were almost touching.
Ayumi gave him a strange look and let go of his shirt, taking a step back, but not getting far…she had reached the door…the locked door. "Um, Tamaki…I…what are you doing?" She asked worriedly.
"Yeah Tamaki, what are you doing?" Kaoru muttered as he made his way towards them. Hikaru didn't follow, he had finally caught on to what Tamaki was doing…and he liked the idea.
"Ayumi, I've always liked you, since the first day you came to Ouran." Tamaki told her, placing one hand around her waist skillfully as he pulled her close to him, placing his other hand beneath her chin, forcing her to look at him.
"Um…w-well, that's nice, b-but….I-I….you know…I…." She blushed and looked to the ground, only to have her face jerked back up to the sight of Tamaki's. 'Shit! How the hell do I get out of this?!'
"Tamaki!" Kaoru yelled as he drew closer. "Let her go!"
Tamaki smirked as Renge and the other girls gasped. "On no!" Renge screamed. "It's a love triangle, and it looks like out king is left loveless!" The girls surrounding them screamed, horrified.
"Wait…" Ayumi muttered, suddenly realizing what was going on. "This…this is a tri…mmph!"
Kaoru stopped in his tracks as everyone stared. Tamaki…was kissing Ayumi!
After a few seconds of silence Tamaki pulled away, leaning in again so his lips were by her ear. "Don't…give it away…" He whispered as he pulled back, giving her a subtle wink.
Ayumi forced the surprised look off her face and made her eyes narrow, nodding softly. "No Tamaki!" She screamed, becoming aggressive. "I don't love you!" She told him.
The girls surrounding them gasped again as Kaoru stood shocked.
"I love Kaoru!" Ayumi screamed. Everyone stared at her, even Tamaki. There was a minute of silence before Tamaki reacted.
"I see." He told her as he let her go, taking a step back. "Then…I will no longer hold onto you like you are mine…"
"What will happen now?" Renge screamed, excited. "Ayumi has just rejected our king and has just given out her true feelings about Kaoru!" All the ladies stood around waiting, breathless.
"Ayumi!" Kaoru ran between the crowd and only stopped when he reached Ayumi. "Ayumi are you…are you alright?" He asked, still having no clue as to what was going on.
"Yeah, I'm fine…now." She told him with a smile.
He blushed and nodded, smiling himself. "I'm glad that our Lord didn't hurt you."
"I would never hurt such a precious flower as her." Tamaki told him sweetly, someone fainting in the background.
Kaoru tensed and sighed. "Don't you ever touch her again." He told Tamaki harshly.
"Um…Kaoru…" Ayumi whispered as she tugged on his sleeve. "Listen, this is all just…"
"Stop, Ayumi." He told her as he turned to look at his king. "As I was saying…GACK!" He was tugged around quickly by Ayumi, who had grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him down to her level, placing a full kiss on his lips.
The girls around them gasped as Renge readied her microphone again. "What a twist!" She screamed.
A few seconds later Ayumi pulled away and pulled Kaoru behind her. She put on a most innocent face and bowed to Tamaki. "I am sorry King, but I love this peasant man instead. Please forgive me."
"Peasant man!?" Kaoru screamed, utterly confused at what was going on. The rest of the Host Club, aside from Tamaki, just laughed.
"Dear Ayumi," Tamaki spoke sweetly as he placed a finger beneath her chin, forcing her to look at him. "I could never be mad…as long as you are happy." He told her. He then leaned in, bending down to her level. "Please, will you grace me with one last kiss?"
Kaoru stiffened and clenched his fists. "I am sorry King, but I can not, it would only cause more problems to arise and more hatred to surface." Ayumi told him.
"I see. Then, this is farewell. Good-bye my precious flower." With that, Tamaki stood and vanished within the crowd.
"Now for the perfect ending!" Renge screamed. "The princess and peasant man must dance into the night, living happily ever after."
"I am not a pea…mmph…" Kaoru stopped his tantrum as Renge pushed Ayumi into him. "A-Ayumi?"
Ayumi smiled as music began, Renge opening the once locked doors. "Come on, just dance out into the garden." She whispered. Kaoru stared at her dumbly but then nodded, doing as he was told.
"And they lived happily, ever after!" Renge screamed as the girls went mad.
"Such a beautiful story!"
"Everyone acted so greatly! It brought tears to my eyes!"
"I knew Tamaki wasn't really in love with her!"
While the commotion raged inside Ayumi pulled Kaoru to a bench, laughing the whole way. "Ayumi? What the hell just went on in there?" He asked her frantically, not even bothering to sit down.
Ayumi sighed, pushing some of her hair from her face. "It was all a joke, Kaoru, to get the girls from getting completely riled up and killing me." She told him, taking a deep breath. "It was Tamaki's idea…and quite frankly, I'm surprised the dim-wit came up with such a brilliant plan."
"Hey! I am not a dim-wit!" Tamaki screamed from the bushes ahead of them. Emerging, he had five others following. "So, Kaoru, how did you like the show?"
-----
A few days later, after the weekend had ceased and school once again began, seven hosts and one blond girl sat in the empty third music room. "I think it's about time we get something clear." Tamaki suddenly spoke, looking to Hikaru. "Never again will you do something as what you just did." He told him strictly. Everyone else just watched, except for Kyoya, who was sitting at a table on his laptop.
"Do what, my Lord?" Hikaru asked innocently.
"You know what I'm talking about, Hikaru. The way you lied to your brother and purposely hurt Ayumi. I will not tolerate that in the Host Club."
Hikaru gave him a blank look. "Oh, that, well…" Kaoru suddenly leaned in and they spoke together.
"It was all a joke."
Everyone froze. Kyoya stopped typing, Haruhi and Tamaki just stared, Hunny just stared because it seemed like the right thing to do, Mori…just did his usual thing, and Ayumi choked on the cake she had been eating.
"WHAT!?" Everyone, excluding Mori and Hunny, screamed.
Kaoru and Hikaru shrugged. "We had to see if she really liked me." Kaoru said simply. "And…"
"We were bored." They said together with a emotionless face.
"BORED!?" Ayumi and Tamaki yelled.
Suddenly a piece of chocolate cake slammed into each twins' face. "You two…are the WORST!" Ayumi screamed, standing and walking over to the two.
"Um, Ayumi…y-you know it was all fun and games." Kaoru told her, trying to save him and his brother.
"Y-yeah, I mean…really, we wouldn't hurt you purposely."
"You already did!" She screamed.
-----
About five minutes later Ayumi was sitting next to Tamaki as Hikaru and Kaoru sat next to each other, their shoulders bruised from a certain someone's fists.
"Now, for the finishing touch." She told them with a smirk as she put one hand on Tamaki's chest and the other on his face. "Oh King…you are so handsome and kind…" She told him seductively.
Tamaki's eyes widened with surprise as he froze, not sure what to do. "Um…t-thank you." He said quietly.
Hikaru and Kaoru jumped up quickly, running over to the two. Hikaru wrapped his arms around Ayumi and picked her up bridal style, carrying her away as Kaoru waited by the door. "What the hell? Let me go!" Ayumi screamed as she kicked in Hikaru's arms.
"Not a chance, we aren't letting you do that again!"
"Hikaru, why do you get to hold her?"
The rest of the Host Club just stared as the three walked down the hall, away from them. They wouldn't forget any of this, not the first day Nakamura Ayumi first entered the Host Club's domain, nor the time at her house, or the little play they put on. No, those were memories that no one could take from them, no matter how disturbing.
The Host Club was one interesting place.
