~Halloween. My favorite holiday.~
I exited our gigantic school and started heading over to where we were to go to our class meeting. "I don't get why everyone's dressed in such weird things today." I stop dead in my tracks and gawk at Haruhi in disbelief. "You don't know? Haruhi its Halloween!" She sweat drops as I go on a rant about how I love this holiday the most because I get free candy and get to walk around in a dumb costume without people judging me. 'I don't think she realizes that we dress up in rediculous costumes every day in the host club. And isn't getting candy from strangers dangerous?' After I finished talking her ear off I looked up at the schools clock tower and noticed something in the window. I squint my eyes harder and gasped when I saw that it was a person! She had long black hair and wore a big eerie cloak. "Haruhi look!" I yell pointing at the window but by the time she looked up the woman was gone. 'What the hell..?'
Shaking off what just happened Haruhi and I walked the rest of the way to our class meeting and plopped down in our usual seats. Two of Haruhis regulars flocked over to the table and smiled brightly at us. "No need to sit down! There's no class meetings today." Haruhi looked at her funny, "Eh? Why not?" The other girl, Aokano? I think that's her name, Haruhi has to many fan girls for me to keep track. She decided to speak up this time. "Todays the day we hold the annual costume ball, we were just about to go change into our costumes!"
Right after the two girls left Hikaru and Kaoru stormed into the room. "Trick or treat Akira!" I sweat drop at their costumes, they were dressed as angels. 'Pfft angels? No you guys are the twins from hell. Heaven would implode if you two showed up.' Haruhi takes out two pieces of candy for me and hands them to the devils, er, angels. They stare dumbfounded at the candy before devouring it whole and holding out their hands again. "Oh look its all gone. Trick or treat again!" Haruhi drops two more candies in their hands and I couldn't help but snicker.
Tamaki then appears out of nowhere dressed as a vampire "No tricks for you devil twins! Haruhi won't have to experience what I had to go through last year because I placed candy everywhere around her!" "I don't have any candy.." I muttered quietly and Tamaki spun around quickly. "TAKE THE CANDY!" He screams chucking handfuls of candy in my face. "Ow! That hurts you ass!" "Now you won't be able to touch Haruhi OR Akira all day!" Tamaki poses in victory like he won a fight with Bigfoot while the twins just glare darkly.
A bunch of Tamakis fan girls come running into the classroom and whisked him away saying something about walking around campus. Kaoru sighs, "Well this is boring, I'm going to the bathroom." "Thanks for telling us, I'll be here if you have any troubles." I stick my tongue out as he flips me off and walk out of the class. Hikaru turns to me and raises an eyebrow, "Wheres your costume? I thought you were crazy for this holiday." I shrug my shoulders. "All of my costumes are way to girly to wear to school" "I'd like to see them someday" He grins while I blush badly. Haruhi clears her throat and starts picking up her things. "Well if there isn't anything going on then I'm going home. Halloween doesn't interest me anyways." Hikaru suddenly got all offended and started yelling at her about not being cooperative and how she's being a killjoy. "I even made you and Akira cute costumes!" Haruhi sweat drops "Not interested. Your choices in my outfits really haven't been my cup of tea."
I block out their arguments and look out the window towards where the clock tower was. "Well that makes sense now." I mutter catching their attention. "The person I saw in the clock tower window this morning must have been someone in a costume too." My eyes widened as I saw the strange person still standing in the window. She caught my eye and grinned mysteriously and wiggled her fingers. "She's still there…" A few people that heard what I said flocked to the window to see it for themselves. "I don't see anything" "Lemme see!" "Do you see anything president?" My eye twitched as bodies tossed me around everywhere 'I should have kept my mouth shut. Now I caused a mosh pit!' Everyone stopped pushing and shoving after a few minutes and I turned around curiously. "Why the hell can I only see he-" I was cut off by the window in front of me cracking violently. I jumped back and Hikaru caught me so I wouldn't break my ass bone off the floor.
The girls in the room jumped back and pointed at me like I was some giant spider just chilling in the room. "Akira's got the witches curse!" I raise my eyebrow and look around for an explanation "Er…What?" Our class president adjusted his glasses and started telling the 'Witches Curse Story.' "It's an Ouran legend, I'm surprised you didn't know about it! One Halloween a long time ago a girl dressed as a witch and ended up falling down the stairs to her death. Now after that anyone who sees her in the window recieves a curse, and all the people around her do too."
I roll my eyes at the silly story, 'I heard scarier stories at my old girl scout camp when I was seven.' "That's the dumbest thing I've ever-" The door to the classroom flew open and Kaoru came crashing in holding up his arm. His elbow was all cut up and it was bleeding pretty bad! I ran over to him and grabbed his arm to look at it closer. "Kaoru! What did you do?" He blushes and looks away "I-I was walking out of the bathroom and I tripped over myself." I sweat drop, 'I know how that feels.' The bells in the school and the clock tower start ringing loudly even though it wasn't even time to have them go off and everyone backs away from me farther. "Don't worry Akira weve got the perfect solution!" And he next thing I know Haruhi and I were being dragged off to the third music room.
~A few minutes later~
"Why am I wearing this again?" I ask looking down at the witch costume Hikaru and Kaoru decided to decorate me in. Picture: "We figured dressing you like a witch would break the curse!" The 'angel' twins smirked innocently and I just rolled my eyes. 'OR it's just another chance for you guys to play dress up on me! And if that's the case why did you make Haruhi wear a costume too?' The regulars that I host for all had slightly blushing faces as they slowly surrounded me. "Oh my gosh Akira you look so hot!" "This will definatly break the witches curse." "NOTICE MY EXISTANCE!" I yelp at the last comment and started speed walking to the door as fast as I could without tripping. "Where are you going?" Hikaru asked grabbing my witch cloak and twirling me around. "I was going to go to the clock tower and confront this witch. I've got a bone to pick with her."
Cold breath rushed down my neck and I jumped back into Hikarus arms for the second time today. "Keep this up and your regulars are either going to find out you're a girl or their going to think I dig guys." Hikaru whispers in my ear. I tint pink and punch his arm. "Shut up, they probably already think your into dudes since you practically fondle Kaoru for your 'brotherly love' acts!" Nekozawa, the person who kindly breathed down my neck, cleared his throat to get our attention. "I wouldn't go up there if I were you. For facing a curse head on just means certain death. To be honest I'm quite envious Akira, perhaps I could have this curse instead of you~"
The world really must hate this sad emo kid, because right after he said that a huge gust of wind blew past us and it knocked off Nekozawas hair. Wait. HIS HAIR? But before I could think about it anymore he already booked it out of the area we were in shouting that he took it back and that I could keep the curse. "Wow, thanks jerk!" I shout at his retreating back hoping that he'd get struck by lightning at any moment. "We'll figure out something Akira." Haruhi mumbles tugging on my shirt sleeve. "Honestly Haruhi, I don't believe in silly little legends or curses or any of that Hokus Pokus. It's all just made up stories that are supposed to get people scared shitless or paranoid"
I sigh heavily and shove my hands in my cloak pockets. "BUT since everyone thinks I'm cursed and all I might as well get out of here and head home to go trick or treating." I didn't even make it 2 steps because all of the girls started crying and apologizing for being burdins and all this other stuff. I sweat drop and look at Haruhi for help but she just shrugs her shoulders. "I think you should stay." "…Fiiiiiiine." "YAYYYYYYYYY!"
~Foods Room 1~
I should have went home. "Like this Akira?" I sweat drop, I don't think cookie dough is supposed to be that hard to roll out. At the moment Haruhi and I are trying to teach some of these silly girls how to make cookies. Haruhi sighs as another one of the girls tried cutting out the dough in the shape of a pumpkin with a cookie cutter only to have the damn thing snap in half because the dough was so tough! "This is going to take a while."
"I need to take a break from this. These girls are driving me nuts. Imma go find the frosting." Haruhi nodded and went to follow me but got pulled back by the determined girls. I walked over to the sink across the room and crouched down to search through the bottom cabinet. "If I were frosting where would I be? Oh yeah, in my tummy!" I snort and shake my head at the corny joke I just cracked and looked back up to keep searching when I saw a reflection in the back of the cabinet. And it wasn't mine. "AH! The witch!" I slammed the doors shut and flew backwards, only to jump into Hikarus arms for the third time today. When the hell did he even get here? I could tell he was going to crack another joke at me until he saw my flushed and flustered state. "Whats up with you?" "-"
My jumbled words really werent processing through his head so I just gave up and looked out the window at the clock tower. She was still there, but how? Hikaru grinned and grabbed both sides of my witches hat so my face was much much closer to his. "Awww your scared of the little curse, how cute!" I blushed and pouted, I tend to do this out of embarassment. "Am not! Let go Hikaru someones going to see us and get sketched out." What I said seemed to only make him grin wider, not because of his cockyness or his bloated ego the size of the world and then some, but because the chance of being caught thrilled him. And sadly it thrilled me too. Hikaru looked around us quickly to make sure the coast was clear before molding his lips perfectly with mine. My eyes automatically closed and my hands cupped his jaw line, why the hell is this kid so perfect? Maybe he does fit the role of being an angel. Those thoughts quickly burned and died in my mind when I felt his hands touch my butt.
He smirked into the kiss and my eyes flew open. My face went beat red and I quickly seperated from him. "What the hell?" "I didn't know where to put my hands." My jaw dropped 'SERIOUSLY?' I glared playfully at him and started attempting to rip the wings off his costume. "Take this off, your not an angel, you're the fucking spawn of satan!" "Whats that Akira? Take it off? Okay!" He started slowly taking off his shirt and my eyes almost exploded. Almost. At this point we got everyone in the rooms attention and things seemed to get akwardly silent. Haruhi cleared her throat and put the finished batch of cookies on top of the stove. "Well, looks like were done cooking."
The girls all start jumping up and down and squeeling in victory. "Thank you Akira, Haruhi! Please take this last carving pumpkin as a token of our gratitude!" I sweat drop as they drag Haruhi and I over to a table and placed the pumpkin in front of us. The foods room doors opened and Kaoru came in with a bandage wrapped around his elbow. "Where have you been?" Haruhi asks and Kaoru holds up the arm with the bandage on it. "I went to the infirmary to get my cut cleaned up. What are you guys doing?" I hold up the already hollowed out pumpkin so he could see. "Were making a lantern thingy." Kaoru shuffles over to where we were sitting and leans over me with a marker. "Oooooh, here, make the face and stuff so we can cut it out!" I nod and take them marker from him and start drawing, pulling him down into the seat next to me so he wouldn't have to hover over me to see.
Kaoru blushes slightly when I grabbed him but only Haruhi saw. She raises her eyebrows but tries to ignore what just happened. "Whered Hikaru go?" "He's over there showing off his work of art." We both look over to where hes pointing and see Hikaru running around with the lantern he carved out over his head. "Done! Here check it out!" I yell posing proudly at the face I just drew. Immediately Haruhi and Kaoru drop to the floor laughing. "W-What the hell is that? Now that's a curse!" I pout at their jokes and hug the pumpkin "Shut up! I think Jeffery is beautiful!" "JEFFERY? you named it?" "Shut up!" Kaoru gets off the ground and pried 'Jeffery' from my arms. "Give it here Akira, I'll cut out his beautiful face for you." I just nod my head and walk away, 'Jerks!'
The doors to the foods room opened up once again and Kyoya, Hunny, and Mori walked in. Kyoya was dressed as a priest, Mori was dressed as a dog, and Hunny was dressed as a cat. "Akira, I didn't know you were here. I want you to participate in the ball tonight." I sigh and nod my head to Kyoya. 'Looks like I'm not going trick or treating tonight. Bummer!' Kyoya then went somewhere else, probably to go tell Haruhi the same thing. "Akira! Trick or treat!" Hunny yelled jumping up and down. "Here!" I took one of the cookies we made and shoved it into his mouth. Immediately he spit it out and went crying to Mori. "Too salty!" I raised my eyebrow and looked at the cookies. "They were fine just a minute ago…"
"OUCH!" Hikaru yelled dropping the knife he was using to carve Jeffery. "Ah your bleeding!" I yelled running over to him. Blood was dripping from his finger all the way down his arm. Everyone around me was yelling that it was the curse again and that he needed to go to the infirmary ASAP but he was insisting that he was fine. I smacked him on the head and grabbed his shoulders. "What are you, stupid? Your going now! Kaoru!" I look over my shoulder to see if he heard me when I saw someone with Hikarus lantern over their head. He was also wearing the angel costume. 'Wait a bloody second…'
"Akira…will you dance with Kaoru and I at the ball tonight?" I look down confused and flustered at Hikaru. "What?" He looks down at the ground where droplets of blood were falling. "If you promise to dance with us, I'll go to the infirmary." Suddenly everything clicked in my mind. The wearing the costume, doing all these stupid activities. The twins all did this as a plan! I grab Hikarus arm and drag him to the sink. "Wait what are you-" I turned on the water and shoved his hand under the sink. Right when the water hit him the 'blood' washed right off showing a clean and uncut finger. "Wounded huh? Not even close to what I'm going to do to you after I figure all this crap out!" I run over to the person with the lantern on their head and ripped the pumpkin off. "President?" Everyones jaws dropped and he just scratched his head. "It was a funny prank.. I couldn't resist!"
I booked it out the door before anyone could stop me and I headed for the clock tower. So if Hikarus down here Kaoru must be…
I snuck over to the stairs where the window was and saw the 'witch' staring out it. "Hikaru? Is it time to switch already? You didn't have to-" "The jigs up Kaoru. Time for the punishment game." Kaoru spun around quickly and practically pissed his pants as I booked it up the stairs at him. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
~Music Room 3~
"So…It was the twins all along?" I nod at Haruhis question from across the room. "And they went through all of that trouble?" "Yup" "Broke the window?" Nod "Switched the clocks?" Nod "Blew off Nikozawas wig?" "Well actually that was pure luck, amazing how things just fall into place isn't it?" I glare at the devils and they quickly shut up. 'That's right, fear the beast!' Tamakis head was practically steaming he was so pissed. "You better apologize to me daughters for causing them so much trouble today! Beg for their mercy!"
The wins stood up and clenched their fists. "Alright were sorry! But we just wanted to spend Halloween together!" Haruhi and I stared at them shocked. They went through all of that just for us? I stood up and squeezed in between Hikaru and Kaoru. "Let's go guys." Everyone stared at me confused. I grin and lace my fingers with theirs "We got a date with the dance floor!" Hikaru looked down at me and grinned while Kaoru blushed madly and scratched his head.
