Okay, YOU PEOPLE YES YOUZ.
I know I said I'd stop updating for a few weeks but I just wrote up another chapter, and sorted out my plans. I found it would make more sense to put out this one last chapter before I take my small break.
It'll help the flow of the story, at least I think so.
Enjoy the off schedule, but okay-ish chapter?
Katsu's P.O.V.
"U-Urghh..."
Flop. Slam.
"Ooowww..." What just happened? Did I fall out of bed again? It feels like it. I moved around my hands and felt the surface I was laying on. Yeah, defiantly my carpet. I would hoist myself up off the floor but my eye lids feel way too heavy and I just wanted to go back to sleep above all else. I would have stayed asleep too if it wasn't for one fact.
I have school, damn it!
I sat up lazily and scanned across my slightly disheveled room. A few articles of clothing here and there, and a pair of shoes lying around. Other than that my room was pretty under control. I sat up and rubbed my eyes while heading over to the window. I took a peek outside to see what the weather would be like, and to my pleasure, it was snowing again! The flakes fell down from the sky gently, and they were perfect looking flakes too. Up against the glass I could even see the typical snow-flake like structure of each one as they slapped onto the cold glass barrier.
I wonder how snowflakes even got to be that shape sometimes. I mean, it's not like the clouds made them like that right? So what did? Maybe there are little sprite sculptors inside of the clouds and carve each snowflake and then drop them to the ground! Ahaha...
It's way too early for sense to be made.
No sense, only apple juice.
I could use some apple juice.
I headed out to the hall and began to shuffle downstairs to the kitchen. I'll change later; I need my juice first before I do anything that requires a lot of energy.
"Ahhh...Juice." I said as I finally got my apple juice box out of the fridge. I sucked on the plastic straw and headed out to the big living room. I switched on the TV. quickly when her phone rang. i scrambled over to the table where she left it and picked up, nearly falling over.
"Merr...It's too early for you to call!" I slurred sleepily.
"Ohh, that's no way to greet me!"
"Hikaru? What do you want?" I asked rudely. Yeah, I'm not a good conversationalist in the morning. I heard a scuffle over the phone and a disgruntled groan come from Hikaru.
"Hikaru and I were wondering if you wanted to hang out today; since it's a snow day and all." Kaoru answered me instead. I probably would have gotten a witty smarty-ass comment from Hikaru if he didn't.
"Ahh, Sure. Where?"
"How about Tamaki's house?"
"You're not planning on telling him are you."
"Nope!"
"...Sweet! I'm in!"
Ayumi's P.O.V
I sat up in bed, finally waking up. As I stretched my arms above my head I kicked up the remote that was apparently on my bed. I caught it in my hand and turned the TV on, while I tried to finger through my slight bed-head I managed to get during my sleep. I really don't roll around too much in bed; I guess I just had a rough night.
"Oh look, School is canceled..." I blurted out, reading the announcement on the bottom of the TV. Screen, then I switched it off and snuggled back in bed.
"Ahhh. Yay, Sleep..." I muttered, slipping back into my comfortable covers and fluffy pillows.
Knock. Knock.
"Go away please."
Knock Knock Knock.
"Mhh, School is canceled. Please leave."
-KNOCK!
I jumped up and hauled it over to my bedroom door to yanked it open.
"What!" I shouted. These silly maids need to learn to listen to what I'm saying. Is this person new or something?-
Yeah. They aren't a new maid.
Why would they hire Takashi as a maid anyway?
I just gaped at Takashi standing in my doorway for a few seconds, letting it set in. Takashi was in my house. Why? Ehh? Why? I'm so confused! Also, I'm only in a tank top and shorts; very short shorts. The ones I wear under my skirt at school.
I turned into a tomato.
I started stuttering and heat rushed to my face so intense that it felt like it was summer in here! He just looked down at me. Oh God, I feel so embarrassed...
Are his cheeks pink?
Maybe from the cold...
Or not...
I hope not.
I jumped behind my bedroom door and peeked around to continue talking to him.
"W-What are you doing here, Takashi?" I asked, barely managing to get it out with just one stutter. He looked away for a second then back at me.
"Hikaru and Kaoru invited us to Tamaki's house. Mitskuni thought we would come and get you." he said in his voice that always seemed warm to me. I feel like he'll be speaking a lot more than usual today. I smiled.
"Oh. Mitskuni is here? A-Alright. Let me just change and we can go."
"Alright."
I shut the door a little too forcefully out of a fading embarrassment from the incident. I hope I didn't scare the guy. I let out a big sigh to calm myself and then headed over to my dresser to change. I changed into a purple and tan striped V-neck with slightly ruffled short sleeves and some jeans. I pulled on my light brown boots and grabbed my red and blue plaid pea-coat. I also through on little black hat and then bolted out the door. I stopped abruptly when I saw Takashi waiting outside in the hall for me. I waved.
"I'm ready." I said able to keep my cool now. He nodded and we both started down the hallway to go down the stairs. While we were walking I couldn't help but cast sideways glances at Takashi. He was wearing dark jeans, and a navy blue/black graphic-tee under a half zipped gray sweatshirt.
He looked so cute!-
Err uh...Handsome. Yeah. Handsome.
Wait...Huh?
Oh, darn you girlie feelings! I can feel a blush coming on...
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah..." I lied. I knew he noticed I was lying too, but he seemed to let it go.
We got to the foyer and I got attacked by the ever eccentric Honey. Though he is always full of energy, sometimes it's a little too much. I was glad to see him though. He dragged me and Takashi out to the limo and we were then off to Tamaki's house.
3rd Person P.O.V.
"Why are you three staking out that door?" Ayumi asked when she caught sight of Hikaru, Kaoru and Katsu ready to burst through Tamaki's bedroom door. The rest of the club was there, but they all looked sleepy.
"Everyone is here, let's do it!" Katsu said to the twins. They nodded.
"On Three."
"1..."
"2..."
"3!" They burst through the door and rushed through to Tamaki's bed. They were shouting animal noises and stopped right at the foot of Tamaki's bed. He woke with an ear piercing scream.
"Wow that sure sounded girly." Katsu commented blandly. The twins nodded in agreement.
"We knew princes were girlie, but..." they trailed off. Tamaki clutched his sheets and glared daggers into them.
"H-How dare you, you evil doppelgangers!"
"Oh, I'm a doppelganger now? How cruel of you..." Katsu feigned an insulted expression. Tamaki winced.
"A-Ahh, No! Don't feel down my little daughter!" He jumped out of bed and gripped Katsu in a papa-bear hug. Katsu's face flushed.
Why?
Tamaki had no shirt on.
"C-Can't breathe! Tamaki!" she shouted, but it was muffled into his chest. He laughed, apparently her mumbling tickled, and he let her down grinning. Katsu looked away.
"Put a shirt on...man hoe." she insulted. Tamaki only grinned more.
"Is that a blush I see? Are you falling for me?" he asked, reverting to his more suave and princely mood. Katsu crossed her arms. An awkward tension set amongst all of them for a few seconds where she should have answered. Eventually he got an answer though.
A fist to the rib cage.
"Go put a damn shirt on!" she shouted, throwing him until he tumbled into his bathroom. She slammed the door behind him.
"That was a little much." Haruhi and Ayumi commented simultaneously. They looked at each other and both cocked an eyebrow in confusion.
The rest of the day at Tamaki's house was just a generic, snow day amongst children.
Yes children.
Because we both know besides Kyoya, Mori, Ayumi and Haruhi,
The others are horribly child-ish.
They had obviously gone out to play in the vast white blankets about the estate's yard. Katsu bugged Ayumi and Haruhi into making a snowman. Honey joined in followed by Mori, while the twins and Tamaki bickered to Kyoya as usual. Kyoya simply stood irritably there on the front steps while they did so.
"Anndd...There!" Katsu said, sticking the carrot into the snowman's face. It was supposed to be his nose.
"It...Looks lop-sided." Haruhi said.
"S-So! It's our snow man! You must love it. It is our snow child!" she exclaimed. Ayumi sweat dropped and watched Honey and Katsu cheer at their accomplishment. She headed over to Mori who had rejoined Kyoya on the front steps. Apparently the three of them weren't snow people.
"Oi, Boss you know you're just too easy. That's why!" the twins blurted out, still bickering with Tamaki. Tamaki flailed his arms up and down and charged at the twins.
"Ahhh!" he punted them across the lawn and they flew straight through the mid-section of Katsu and Honey's beloved snow-baby. The both sat up from making snow angles to see the tragedy.
"...MY SNOW MAN! AHHH!" Katsu shouted loudly. She managed to get up at lightning speed to start wailing on the twins.
She was greeted by a pile of sticky white snow to the face as soon as she got 10 feet from them. She whipped it away to see Tamaki standing there with another snowball in his hand. The twins jumped up.
"Ohh, Why you!" Katsu fumed. "You're-"
"-Gonna-" Hikaru continued.
"-Get-" Kaoru kept it going.
"IT!" The twins finished, dropping a big chunk of snow on Tamaki from behind.
"Hey you! Stop hijacking mah sentence, jerks!"
"Watchya gonna do about it?" They asked as they shrugged. They didn't know how serious Katsu took her snowball fights. She didn't participate in snowball fights.
She participated in snowball wars.
And this was going to be a snowball massacre.
"THIS!" She jumped them and an all out war commenced between the twins, Katsu, Tamaki, Honey, and surprisingly, Haruhi. Mori helped Honey build up a fort for the war. Kyoya stayed out of it all together with Ayumi. They stood at the front doors as the carnage occurred. Katsu had eventually sided with Haruhi, Honey, and Mori. They had made a reinforced wall and the twins, lead by Tamaki, had built up one as well. Shouts, war cries and screams resonated from the battle field until every single man was down and soaked.
Honey moaned, covered in snow. Mori brought him over to the front steps and tried to help him get it all off before it melted and got him soaking wet. Haruhi's hair was matted with snow and she didn't feel like fighting anymore. Katsu was still going at it with Hikaru and Tamaki. Kaoru was under a pile of snow that Katsu had launched about 3 minutes ago. He was something we generally call 'incapacitated'.
Ayumi watched the depleting battle rage on. Knowing Katsu -and she knew her far too well- this could go on for another 2 hours. She decided to end it.
"Hey!"
Katsu, Hikaru, and Tamaki looked up from chucking snowballs at each other to find Ayumi on the slanted rooftop above the entrance to the large mansion. The color drained out of Katsu and Tamaki's faces as Ayumi lifted up her foot, with a bored expression.
"Heel." She stomped it down and an avalanche fell on the three idiots. Arms and feet were sticking out of the piled on snow at odd angles. Katsu finally got her head out of all the snow.
"Nahh, No fair Ayumi!" she whined
"To bad." she smiled in triumph. "I win."
After the catastrophe of them all getting out of the turbulent war zone of a front yard, they all managed to find dry clothes to change into, thanks to the staff working in Tamaki's house. Then they were all gathered around an old fashion brick fire place sipping hot cocoa the maids had given them. The twins were sitting next to each other on one couch with Kyoya and Katsu. Tamaki was on another couch with Haruhi, while Honey, Mori, and Ayumi sat on another. Katsu sprawled herself across the laps of the other occupants of the couch and stretched her limbs. They all looked unnerved.
"..What are you doing?" Kaoru asked, her head was in his lap. She poked his nose forcefully in reply.
"Noffin'. I'm sleepy..." she stated obviously.
"Get off me, my legs are going numb!" Hikaru complained.
"Too late guys..." Haruhi said suppressing a laugh. Katsu was fast asleep. She nuzzled her head into Kaoru's lap. Kyoya looked annoyed as he adjusted his glasses.
Ayumi yawned, she was feeling tired as well. She poked Mori. He looked at her.
"Can we share?" she motioned to the blanket he had, he nodded and wrapped it around her. Ayumi rested her head against his shoulder and yawned again. Mori tried to keep his always indifferent face, but was failing miserably. 'He seems to be blushing too much lately...'
Perhaps there was a reason?
Yawn.
'To sleepy...figure it out...Later...zzz...'
However she resolved to wake up and figure it out that instant.
'No...Zzz...'
After protesting her odd other voice-like thoughts, she did unhappily wake up.
..Zzzzz...Zzz...
"...Oiii, Ayumi, wake up!" Katsu shouted.
"...zzz...'
"...Lazy butt. Imma go break yo pencils."
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Strange end I know. Sorry if it disappointed. I don't think it would though.
Seeya next time~!
