I hope that you will enjoy this chapter and others who will read this. NOW YOU CAN READ THE CHAPTER IF NOT YOU HAD ALREADY WENT ON!
Inside the music room Kairi was surrounded by her designators, along with the other members of the Host Club. Today was much more different than any other day. Kairi continued to wear the dress that was forced upon her by Yui. The others had decided at the last minute - in hopes that Kairi didn't feel too embarrassed by herself - that they too wore dresses. Each boy was trying to apply himself as more feminine and refined, unlike Haruhi who is a girl. Kairi had her arms wrap tightly around her upper body as though she felt naked.
A scene that had taken place moments before her return back to Ouran played in her mind. Some parts were repeating it self, especially the last part that she had disliked the most.
At the doors of Kyouya's estate Kairi gazed upon expectant eyes who looked at her hungrily. The two of them were Leon and Yui. On instinct her mind told her to flee back to the limousine. Acting on basic instinct she turned around and sprinted down the stairs. Curious to see if the two were going to pursue her, a long rope flew past her. In a split second the rope lassoed itself around Kairi's upper body and she felt a strong tug that forced her to propel back up the stairs.
"AHHH! What the heck are you doing!?" Kairi shouted at the top of her lungs as land into Yui's outstretched arms. It was Leon who had pulled the rope.
"We're deeply sorry Kairi, and I mean it!" Yui apologized.
"Sorry sis, but right now you have no choice… neither do I."
"W-what do you mean!?"
Kairi's mind drowned out the small conversation between herself and her designators. Leon had told her that it was on her Father's order that he wanted to see Kairi's life in japan and how she was dealing with it. In order for Leon to make a successive report he needed her to dress up, to prove the fact that she was indded trying to be 'normal', if possible. Either that, or he could've been trying to blackmail her.
'That traitor, what makes him think I'll actually pose for pictures! Pictures that he could use for who knows what!'
"Don't you think so Kai-kun?" asked a redhead.
'That means I'll have to show him that I am not playing games with him, not this time.'Kairi felt inspiration come to her, a plan was forming to get back at her twin.
"Kai-kun, did you hear?"
"H-huh? What was that?" Kairi was suddenly taken out of thought and looked confused. The plan that was forming had disappeared as quickly as it had come.
"Y-you mean you didn't hear what I said?" said the redhead on the verge of crying.
"S-sorry," Kairi said scratching the back of her head sheepishly. "Weren't you talking about your duties just now?"
"So you have been listening! Don't joke around like that!" said the red head giggling, wiping her tears away with a soft patterned handkerchief.
'I just made that up on the spot….' Kairi thought as she lost all inspiration to get back at her brother.
Unbeknownst the door to the Third Music room opened with silence. An unruly brown haired boy peered into the room, his eyes widened at what he saw before him; next he was crushed by an aqua haired girl behind him. He lay on the ground, face first and was dragged by the girl back into the hall.
"Let go of me Yui!" he shouted angrily. "This no longer concerns you!"
"It does, especially if you reveal to them all that Kairi is actually a -!"
Leon covered her mouth with both of his hands, "Shh! Wouldn't want anyone to hear you. I know what I am doing, didn't I mention you about the second part of my plan?"
Leon dropped his hands and sat cross-legged on the marble floor. He pondered, his expression was easy to read in this state, as far as Yui could tell. Something else had come to his mind and she was about to find out.
"Not only are we going to infiltrate on the club, but we will need the equipment we brought with us," he began, eyes still closed.
"You mean - I thought you were going to use them in the garden!" Yui interrupted to see Leon raise a finger.
"First we infiltrate as we originally had planned. Secondly we'll get the pictures I need. Thirdly, that is when we will rescue Kairi from this strange club that I call an abomination; it has abducted my precious, pure hearted sister," at the end of debriefing he was holding up three fingers in total. "Three simple steps that won't take long to do."
"What made you change your mind to use the camera equipment now?" Yui asked curiously.
Leon coughed, clearing his throat, a dreamy smile replace his angered expression.
"It was so beautiful, so… wonderful, even that can be considered an understatement! Never, and I mean never have I seen Kairi socialize with other girls just now. What I saw was the angel that was hidden deep inside my sister. She was talking to them, smiling, even giggling along with the other girls around her. It's a dream come true I have to say," he said with tears of a river escaping from the edge his eyes. "If only Father could see it with his own eyes as I have today. He will most certainly be proud of me when I get the pictures!"
Yui inched gingerly toward him, hesitant to wave a hand in front of his face. As tears continue to overflow from his eyes; Yui had finally made a conclusion and sighed. At last the remaining sanity, or what Leon had had perished into the void of nothingness. Yui was disappointed to discover this, but nonetheless she continues to cheer the man she loves and adores. Leon, now has finally achieved his childhood goal to become just like the man he idolize; who has a strong will; the very man who puts his family before anything.
"Quickly we have much preparation to get done, to the limousine!" Leon said getting up to his feet.
Yui got up to her feet as well, watching Leon take off, sprinting down the stairs as fast as he could. She smiled, it had been a long time she had seen Leon this enthusiastic. Deep down somewhere she wished it was her that would make him energetic as Kairi had done many times in the past, even now. It was the one thing, among others, that Yui envied Kairi the most.
"I missed you Leon, welcome back."
A girl with long golden locks had grabbed the most attention beside the other girl, who was sitting at a table eating large quantities of pastries. The blonde smiled innocently, as her white dress, draped around from her waist. As elegant she could be, she looked down to her designators.
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have sleepovers!?" she said, her voice two octaves higher than normal.
"Yes, that would be most pleasant, Tamaki-chan!" chimed the girls around her, giggling.
"Please, if you all don't mind calling me Tama-chan. Doesn't that suit me better like this? But alas, it is unfortunate that I cannot be like this forever," Tamaki said with his back hand pressed against his forehead for a dramatic emphasis. "We shall see if we'll use another theme tomorrow."
The girls looked to one another in excitement wondering what kind of theme the boys would do next.
"Perhaps something chivalry?" asked one excitedly.
"A romantic adventure in a Saudi Arabia?" another giggled.
"Or possibly something…," the girls paused for a brief moment. They leaned upon each other in a dreamy state. In a split second they let out loud squeals of delight - more like eerie to Tamaki than joy - the girls never did finish their sentence after all.
Haruhi who was sitting within hearing range, over hearing the girls state ideas of what the next theme could be. Was there something wrong with the girls? Chivalry was done nearly three months ago. The theme before this one was Saudi Arabia! In any case these girls didn't seem to have any new ideas they could use, either that or possibly the girls preferred the ones the club had used already; so they could fantasize more about it? Haruhi couldn't help but look into Tamaki's direction to see that he has become the role he wanted for the evening. She had to admit, Tamaki was good at pretending to be a girl, but his voice was a different factor.
"Such wonderful ideas! How about I fantasize with you about Saudi Arabia. Remember when we were trapped in front of a gaping hole in the ground, oh my! While behind us there were these vicious and cruel guards chasing us. Ohh, do you remember?" Tamaki asked. Even with the slightest detail of the events, did he managed to scare himself. Tears formed around his eyes, "It was so scary at the time."
The girls nodded with fear, as though they had gone through what Tamaki had described. Haruhi face faulted, she had nearly forgotten that there were many kinds of girls that can be categorized: those over dramatic; day dreamers; highly intelligent; etc. Haruhi turned her attention back to what she was doing before being distracted by Tamaki. She sighed and shook her head slightly before returning back to her "work".
"What do you think of the tea?" Haruhi asked.
This time Kyouya had personally ordered raspberry tea knowing that Leon would be coming, almost ominously drawing Leon in. Originally it was planned to be used immediately after the day when Kai was still uncertain of her new life in Japan, but it didn't matter now… since another American visitor decided to pay a little visit. The girls took a sip from their warm brewed tea, some sat there savouring the taste while others showed and odd expression.
"A bit sour isn't it?" asked a girl with brown wavy hair.
"What kind of tea - or is this warm liquid suppose to be tea?" asked another appalled by the taste.
"It's called Raspberry tea that can be purchased in supermarkets," Haruhi told her.
The girl smiled, "Haruhi-kun, why didn't you say sooner? But I must say that commoners have such peculiar taste, yet it is delicious."
Haruhi wasn't sure to take that as an insult or a compliment, considering she was a commoner herself. Her eyebrow twitched none too gently, yet again as she was called a commoner. The reason she was able to attend Ouran High School is because of the scholarship she took.
"If the tea doesn't suit your taste there are options such as adding sugar to the Raspberry tea to make it sweeter," Haruhi suggested.
"Don't be silly! We'll just drink like the commoners!"
And so all girls began slurping down their tea, every once in a while sticking their tongues out with distaste, but nonetheless slurped it all down.
Haruhi raised an eyebrow, "More tea…?"
Out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw a flash, but couldn't locate it's specific location. Since the flash was no longer seen she thought she heard some weird buzzing noises from over head; but when she looked up there was nothing there. At first, she thought it wasn't uncommon to see a fly inside the building, but the buzzing noises didn't stop. Fortunately she wasn't the only one who heard the noise. The other girls looked up in confusion, expecting to see something but there was nothing to see in the first place.
Tamaki scanned the roof tiled ceiling carefully and the shutter clicks stopped. "Kyouya," Tamaki called out, using his normal voice.
Kyouya turned his head in the direction where the noise stopped. With a pen in hand he pointed at the chandelier located at the center of the room. He soon got up and readjusted his glasses, although some couldn't believe that it was Kyouya. Long raven hair, a dark violet dress that looked sophisticated. "Target locked on," Kyouya said with his normal voice.
"Takashi," Hunny said getting up from his seat, his frilly dress swaying from one side to the other. Hunny pointed at the target, as though it was a danger to everyone's lives.
Mori who was standing next to Hunny, the entire time, gave a slight nod. All eyes landed on him, who's beauty was beyond compared, to those who likes geishas. Mori removed a rather large flower shaped pin, made out of pure jade from his wig. In a swift movement he launched the pin to hit the ceiling at an angle while his wig fell past his shoulder. Silence was heard as one person turn his or her head, looking around to see if anything had happened.
(A/N: I suggest you listen to the Mission Impossible song playing in background, to make the mood better. Replay the song a few times if you have to, while reading the text below. You can find the song: Mission Impossible on Youtube but I suggest listening to the theme not the Limp biz kit song. XD)
Upon reaching the Third Music Room once more Yui and Leon had brought the camera equipment this time. Leon carried two square bags at his side. Yui held the camera and some extra film in her hands.
"How are we going to get in without noticed, I mean look at this stuff!" Yui told Leon frustrated.
"Lucky for you, I managed to get a blueprint of this school early this morning, when I went to Kairi's room. I memorized the important stuff only," Leon winked at her.
Their objective was simple, to get inside the room without being noticed, but ultimately the most idiotic plan Yui had ever heard. Leon had simply walked past the door. Yui was about to voice her opinion of his 'idea', but held her tongue, who knows, if she destroyed Leon's bubble now he could've thought of an even more worse catastrophe. Leon turned around with a grin, something not too pleasing for Yui, but smiled back wryly. "Aren't you coming? Kairi won't be waiting all evening."
Leon guided Yui into an empty corridor, quietly as he could, slowly raising his hand, he knocked on the walls to his right. After a few knocks Yui could hear a hallow knock made by Leon. Could this be a secret passage that no one knew but Leon? Yui watched intently to see Leon push the wall which formed a door entrance. Leon nodded satisfied, signalling Yui to go ahead of him. In the small space with little light Yui's hands managed to find a narrow ladder and so she began to climb. At the top she found a small passageway and began to crawl, but a noise from behind stopped her.
"Yui! I'm stuck!" Leon whispered. It was exactly as she thought… something to hinder the plan… most expecting and yet unexpecting to see what the problem was this time.
Yui looked over her shoulder to get a look at what Leon meant. She merely shook her head understanding why he couldn't enter the small passage. The two bag equipments on both sides were too big for just one man alone to crawl through.
"Here, pass one of the bags to me and you'll keep the other," Yui whispered back as Leon did what he was told.
They both continued on silently, a thought finally reached Yui's mind. How will they know when to stop at the right room? Yui was about to ask until suddenly she felt something grab onto her ankle. She shivered and realized it was Leon, telling her that they've made it.
"Pass me the camera," he instructed as he pulled out a little flashlight from his pocket. Yui held out the camera towards him as Leon used his other free hand to pull out his trusty pocket-knife. Carefully, he carved a little hole, big enough for the camera lens to get a clear view above Kairi. He had managed to catch the little piece he cut out before anyone noticed. Pocketing his pocket-knife soon after it had completed its task Leon took the camera and held it to the hole. He pressed the shutter button many times. Yui relaxed and bit and leaned onto Leon's shoulder to get the clear view of the pictures the camera was taking after each shot. Ever so slightly Leon would move the camera to take pictures at different angles from time to time.
"Those are really good pictures, from this angle," Yui whispered into Leon's ears.
"It's a good thing I came up with this plan, I'll get everything done in no time -" Leon paused.
In the most recent picture he had taken he noticed that Haruhi had looked in the camera's direction. Was it coincidence that he happened to look at the right moment? Despite that passing thought he continued to take pictures anyway. This time though, he saw Tamaki look up as well as many other girls around him. This caused Leon to freeze as he stared at the pictures he just took. Yui began to panic beside him.
"They know we're here! They know! I knew this was an idiotic plan, I should've said something! But no! I just had to keep my mouth -" she nearly shrieked Leon's ear off, but was interrupted rudely by him once more.
"Shh! Yui, be quiet!" Leon said now handing the camera back to Yui. "Put it away safely, we don't want the camera damaged."
Leon kneeled down towards the hole to get a closer look, all eyes were up on the ceiling. He saw Kyouya point in his direction with a pen, or assuming it was Kyouya; the feminine features were just too delicate to be considered his cousin. His eyes then widened when he saw a tall girl next, wearing a long kimono, who resembled a Geisha. She removed an object from the top of her hair, and hurl it in his direction. Whatever it was, Leon knew something was coming his way and it was small. As it came near, in panic he crawled out of the way noisily, hearing a sharp ting, he nervously glanced back to see a tiny sharp object protruding out from where he once sat.
"This isn't good -" Yui had a clear grasp at what had just happened.
Leon watched small and large cracks form from the tiny hole where the pin had pierced, the hole he had cut himself began to crack as well. Leon could hear someone counting, it wasn't Yui, it was his cousin down below.
"Five…, four…, three…, two…, one."
The ceiling came raining down with thick dust, Leon and Yui in the middle of it all. Girls inside the room shrieked as they got out of the way in time, they all herded toward the exit. With barely any time to recuperate Leon grabbed Yui's arm and pulled her up. He looked here and there, scanning for his target and found her at the other end of the room.
"Quickly head out of here, we'll rendezvous where we first planned. I'll catch up behind you with Kairi," he told her as he took off running in the direction other than the door. Yui did what she was told and sprinted out fast as she could, hoping Leon would be alright, knowing him and his dumb luck she could count on him needless to say.
"Stop the stalkers!" Tamaki shouted in a commanding voice using his normal tone, despite his appearance.
Leon zigzagged his way through the room and reached Kairi. He grinned as he grabbed her arm and whisked her out toward the door. Only now did he realize there was a traffic block at the door. Two identical red haired girls with mischief in their eyes.
"Stop right there stalker, this is as far you will go," said one of them, in a male tone.
"You will be punished for what you have done," said the other.
"Let go of me you idiot!" Kai shouted, ready to do his round-house kick.
"Sorry but I'll be keeping Kai for the next little while, hope you all had fun!" Leon told the twins and punched the one on his left in the gut and kneed the other at the same time. Both of them bend over gasping for air as Leon ran out of the room, dragging Kai along with him.
"Mission accomplished!"
