~POV~ Haruhi Fujioka
"Where is she? It's 4 hours past the set meeting time." Sighed Kyoya, who was the most impatient of us all. He was unamused with the life in the airport that entertained us all. I have never been in one, or even flown, so this experience is exciting in of itself. The Ootori private plane is in a hanger here, and ready to take off when we are, on any normal trip we would be ready, but this time we are bringing a non club member along, something unheard of in the time I have been in the club.
Honey and Mori have disappeared from the group, I assume that they are in one of the many nearby stores looking for cake. (He already ran out in the time we have been waiting.) Kyoya was sitting next to me typing away on his laptop, not looking up. I leaned over to see what was on his screen, but his brightness was so low I couldn't see anything. Well he's boring. Hikaru sat on my left, playing Mario cart on his DS, with Karou on his right, who was leaning over his shoulder saying, "Left, left, Don't hit that! Careful... Careful..."
As for the king? I have no earthly idea where he could have fun off to. This place is so full of "commeners" things I'm sure he has run off to find some amusement. I sat there silent, and bored. I didn't bring anything to do because Kyoya insisted he had planned an entertaining trip and that I would have no need to bring anything. I suppose he didn't account for the wait in the airport.
I had almost nodded off to sleep when the twins started to get very loud next to me;
"Right! Right! Quick!" Hikaru yelled, making quite the scene of himself. Now Karou is holding the DS as Hikaru backseat drives.
"Why should I listen to you? Last time you told me to go right I fell out of bed and cut myself on the vase that fell from the nightstand!" Well isn't Karou in a good mood today? He bosses around his brother, then when his brother bosses back he won't have any of it. Huh.
Now they were both standing, snarling at each other, the game completely forgotten.
"But... Karou... I kissed it better... I thought you would like that." Hikaru started to sound like he was putting on a show in the club now.
"Oh..." Karou dropped the DS and grabbed Hikaru's hands, "But I did!"
Now they both stood extremely close, and looked into each others eyes dramatically, "Guys," I sighed, "Cut it out we aren't in the club anymore. You don't need to preform if there's no audience." I glanced at Kyoya for support, but he didn't even notice what was going on.
When I looked back at the twins, who hadn't moved, suddenly it seemed like Karou's legs buckled, and he fell onto Hikaru, or more accurately, he fell onto Hikaru's lips. They stood there equally surprised, kissing for a second the pulled back both wide eyed.
I let out a small gasp, they always are so close but never kiss, I truly didn't expect that. They both stood there silently, unsure of what to do. I'm not sure that they have kissed anybody like that before, it's gotta be strange to have a first kiss with your twin brother. I almost can't believe they just kissed before my eyes, I never expected them to be that way, for the most part their love was just a show.
The silence persisted for another awkward moment until I heard a familiar voice say, "Oops."
Azula came around from behind them with a devilish grin on her face. She had her suitcase in one hand and and other hand in Tamaki's dragging him along behind her like her luggage. He looked like a lost boy getting led back home by his mother.
"Sorry about that." She smiled like nothing happened, "Did I kick you just below your knee from behind and cause your legs to buckle, making you fall onto your brother and kiss him? I felt like I had to speed that up because I couldn't stand how long it was taking you two to get to the point and make out. I mean it was bound to happen anyway. I just did what we were all thinking."
Kyoya looked up, "Speaking of taking forever, where have you been?" Oh now he's interested!
Azula took the hand that was holding Tamaki's and pulled him up infront of her, "Well, I found this heathen causing disrupting a shop on the way over here, so I had to apologize for his insanity and buy something to amuse him, then I had to convince him it was time to come back, and the 'commeners shops' will be here when we return. Took longer then you would think."
Nobody said anything in response to her, instead we all just glared, and I studied her outfit meticulously. She was wearing a tan woman's trench coat buttoned up with her shiny tall black boots beneath. Her blue hair was pulled back in a messy bun, and her black sunglasses sat on the top of head like a crown.
Then I glared at Tamaki, who was completely absorbed in a rubrics cube, and hasn't said anything since their arrival, it may be the quietist he has ever been!
"Congratulations, you finally found a way to shut him up." I smiled at her after long silence.
She mirrored my grin, "I know right?! It's quite the break through! I should have thought of this sooner, its effect is amazing!"
She looked us all over, "Well? What are we waiting on? Can we go or not?" So cocky, yet I'm not annoyed. She's strange.
The entire group was tense as we approached the plane, and the twins now sat farther apart then I have ever seen them, I suppose trying to avoid another "incident" as I like to call it.
We were all riding in a jeep like car to the plane that is waiting outside the hanger. Because its not a commercial flight we couldn't get to it from a terminal in the airport. As we got closer I realized the Ootori plane was just as large as an average commercial plane, I am honestly amazed at the amount of money they have, considering this is the smallest of their three planes.
When the jeep got close we all handed our luggage to an attendant waiting by the stairs up into the plane, and climbed the stairs into it. I expected the inside to be small and seem like a cramped tin can, but to my surprise the inside was huge, and resembled a room in a house with tables, large fluffy lounge chairs, carpet and painted walls with pictures hung on them. It was all very stylized and modern, yet it didn't seem to amuse the twins. "Tasteless." They both said at once as they threw themselves onto the nearest fluffy chairs to the door.
Azula sat down in the back end of the plane and seemed to sink into the cloud-like chair. She put her feet up on the table and pulled out an laptop with a cool clear case and began typing away as if she wasn't four hours fashionablely late. Tamaki sat across from her with one side of the cube complete, still completely into it.
I stood infront of the chair next to Azula, almost nervous to sit down in the clearly expensive chair. I sat down gingerly on the edge of the seat and instantly felt myself sink in a couple of inches. I then scooted back and let the whole chair take effect.
I didn't notice as I let out a little sigh of comfort and closed my eyes. I realized I did this when I heard Tamaki said, "Ooh! That sigh was so cute! Do it again!"
I then growled at him, "Go back to being quiet with your cube." He looked at me wide eyed for a moment and then went back to his cube without another comment.
I glanced at Azula, who gave me an approving smirk, then she reached out and grabbed the top of my chair. I stared at her hand unsure of what to expect, then she pulled on the top, and my chair went spinning around. I didn't know these were swivel chairs!
I laughed as my world spun and I could see everybody in the plane doing their own thing. I could see everything from Honey and Mori talking to the twins up front, to the attendant in the back getting ready for take off. I don't know why this amused me so much, but I loved it.
As I slowed down I asked Azula, "Why did you do that? It's so odd!"
She scoffed, "I'm odd. It's just something funny to watch, like how people react to being suddenly spun. It used to amuse me all the time. I suppose I did it of of nostalgia. Sorry."
I laughed, "No it's fine! That was great!"
"Aww! So cute!" Tamaki squealed like a girl. He's really starting to grate on my nerves.
"Cube. Now." I said in unintended unison with Asula. She held out her hand and I smacked it in a high five as we laughed some more. Tamaki gave us a look then started back at his cube.
"Commoners complete these all the time right?" He muttered, twisting away.
"Yep." Azula responded not looking up from her computer screen.
"Then why can't I?!" Tamaki yelled, about to throw the cube.
Azula looked up, "No, no, no, I'll google it and show you look! Here!"
I sat watching them intensely because there was nothing better to do, then the engines started up, and I tensed up, ready for my first take off.
After we were in the air, no longer in the tilted take-off position, I began to loosen up, although it seems I was the only one that was nervous. Azula was playing games on her laptop with a headset on muttering about "Stupid bullymongs" and "annoying claptraps", while also mouthing the words to songs between her angry comments. Tamaki had 3 sides of his cube completed while Kyoya wrote, Honey slept, Mori looked blankly out the small circular window, and the twins played on their phones.
I was about to fall asleep like Honey when something strange happened, my phone buzzed. I pulled it out of my back pocket and glared at the tiny screen.
Karou: Alright guys it's plan time.
Hikaru: We need to get revenge on her for what she made Karou do in the airport. :/
Karou: Which means we are going to find out what scares her!
Hikaru: and use it against her! :D
Kyoya: Wonderful plan, I suppose this will be a contest like last time?
Honey: Yea! Scaring Haru-chan was fun! :):):):):):)
Me: Guys do we have to? She's nice! And it's not nice to scare others.
Hikaru: If you win we'll get you fancy tuna!
Me: Alright fine. But let's not scare her away ok? I need a friend who is a girl.
Karou: of course.
Kyoya: Ok.
Honey: kk!
Mori: k
Hikaru: Watevr
Tamaki: I don't actually know what she's afraid of! This should be fun:DDDDD
Karou: Alright. May best club member win!
Hikaru: and the games begin!
Me: ... And may odds be ever in your favor. XD
Kyoya: Thats so overused I almost laughed.
Hikaru: no. Just no.
Tamaki: Haruhi my dear daughter, that was just bad.
Karou: just stop.
Alright fine. I put down my phone, shocked the plane didn't come falling out of the sky considering we were all texting and you aren't suppose to on a plane.
Azula looked up from her game, unaware of our text conversation about her, "How long have we been in flight?"
Kyoya looked at his watch, "About and hour, we still have five more to go."
She smirked, "Hm. Time flies." She then looked at all of us as if she expected a reaction. "Really? Nobody? Awh. Not one of you gets that?" We all shook our heads no.
"Well if it's a bad pun you were going for..." Kyoya started.
Azula scoffed, "No! I was being creepy cause after the phantom traveler says that the plane comes crashing down!"
"What are you talking about..." Kyoya muttered into his notebook, unamused with her insanity.
She sighed, "I was referring to Supernatural, but, naturally none of you get out enough to know that! Nobody gets me." She turned back to the computer and resumed grumbling.
~POV~ Azula Shimazu
They really don't get out much if none of them can get my references! I mean really, I'm starting to look less clever and more crazy! Gosh. They drive me insane, that's why. I started ignoring them all after that, if they don't get that reference then they don't deserve my attention for the rest of the flight. Well, of course I didn't actually ignore them, I just tried to look like I was, I had my head buried in my computer with my headphones on, but turned down so I could hear every word they said, but look like I didn't. Perfect cover in plain sight.
Disappointingly, they did not talk about anything juicy or even well worth my time. Kyoya and Haruhi shared some small talk about the party plans, and that was about it. I kept my mouth shut and killed things happily. But then, I couldn't resist, and I blew my cover, it was just too good an opportunity.
Kyoya was still talking about the party when he said, "The cake is going to be amazing."
And without missing a beat I responded, "The cake is a lie."
Then I clapped my hand over my mouth embarrassed. I could already feel my cheeks heating up.
Kyoya cocked his head, "Been listening have you? Well, I'm afraid that's another reference lost on us." He pushed up his glasses and seemed to brush off the fact I had been creeping on his conversation. Well, there is no telling the things about me he has been creeping on so I suppose its even.
Before I could even unpause my game one twin appeared on either side of me, and immediately I knew I was in trouble, my little kissing trick probably was a bit over the line and may have thrown them over the edge. It's ok. I'll play it cool.
"Soo..." Started Hikaru, the devilish one always starts first, "Ready to go to Dorotabo?"
I didn't look up, "Undead island? Of course! I packed my machete and everything. The pipe bombs are separate though, so if you need to go out with a bang grab my bathroom bag and you should be set."
"I hear it's cursed..." Karou whispered in my left ear, his hot breath tickling my neck and sending a chill down my spine. I tried to ignore it, and put on my best over confident smirk, "Please, do tell!"
"Well..." Began Hikaru as he sat himself down on the right arm of my chair and leaned over to me over dramatically, "Many many years ago on the island lived a girl..."
"Always!" I interjected, not in the mood for their jokes, I have gaming to do come on now guys.
"Anyway..." Karou decided to tell the story instead, "This girls family was all killed in a tragic volcanic eruption, as well as most of the only village on the island. Leaving only her, an boy from another family, an female village elder, and an drunken old man alive. All of the remaining people were torn by loss, the amount of people who died was too much, and each of them started to mentally deteriorate. As the older two survivors started to have more and more issues, the man drinking even more, and and woman meditating for days without food, that left the boy and the girl a lot of time together..."
Hikaru picked up, "And let's just say they got really, really, really close. The boy loved the girl, and she put up with him because there was nobody else, and it looked like they were going to be together forever, but then the drunken old man came up with a crazy idea, and the girl was willing to try it. The old man thought that one of them could become a necromancer, and raise the lost village again. For one to become capable of raising the dead, they would have to die first, and the village elder must complete a ritual over the freshly killed body. The elder would also select who she thought was the best sacrifice. None of them knew when they were going to find out they were to be killed, so the three lived tensely until one day somebody got a sign."
Karou started telling the story again, "The girl was out, having her usual bath in a freshwater pool right by the sea, when the water she was in turned blood red. The crimson water churned and spun like a whirl pool, and sucked her under. She would have drowned, but she was a strong swimmer, and she dragged herself out of the water and lay by it, dazed covered in red. The boy had been watching everything creepily from a distance, and knew by this sign she was chosen. So before she could regain her senses he grabbed one of the spears they had made and drove it through her head, most specifically through her right eye."
"Then..." Hikaru took over again, "The village elder who was also watching came and completed a ritual over the girls body. The body of the girl stood, covered in red with a hole where her right eye should be and said in an unworldly deep voice, "You killed me. You didn't think twice boy. I thought you love me. Is this what true love is? Death? I shall use my new found power to seek revenge on you all for this crazed plan that took my life and left my soul in limbo, and I shall take revenge on this island who took my family away from me."
By now the entire host club was listening weather they wanted to or not. It was clearly a made up story, but it was in flight entertainment none the less. I sat holding a Sprite the attendant gave me mid story, when I stopped playing to try and listen.
"Whatever." I muttered, still not really amused with their tag-team story.
"But! We haven't even told you what she haunts! Or what they all haunt! They don't even have names! There is so much more to tell!"
"Save it for tonight, when it has the slightest chance of being scary." I said, standing to go sit somewhere away from these poor storytellers. Just as I got on my feet the plane lurched and started its decent.
Only then did the pilot come on over the speaks and say, "Here we are! Dorotabo! Please be seated for our landing!"
No kidding. When the plane lurched I fell back into my seat, and my Sprite managed to pour itself into my lap and soak into my clothes. Wonderful.
"Ewwww..." I muttered, observing the huge already sticky spot spread across my front. Although the twins had clamored across the plane to their seats, they still managed to laugh at me from the other side of the plane.
My cheeks still burned red hot when we touched down. Well, first act of business on the Undead Island, shower. Sorry ocean. Surfing will have to wait.
"Kyoya?" I stood as soon as we stopped and pulled the wet cloths as far from my skin as possible to prevent sticking.
"Oh." He used his classic move, and pushed up his glasses then continued, "I'll have somebody take you to get washed off immediately."
He then waved one of the flight attendants over and seemed to instruct her where to go. She looked up from their conversation, and motioned for me to follow.
~POV~ Haruhi Fujioka
Azula was the first off of the plane, which is perfectly okay considering the fact she had a stain the size of Europe that had to be sticky and nasty.
"Well..." Hikaru appeared behind me, "The scary story angle didn't work. Worth a shot."
"Are you really such an idiot to think a tough girl like her would fall for that?" I hissed, rather sharply as we went down the stairs of the plane.
A modern looking building was infront of us that seemed to blend with the tropical plants all round, yet stood out. The design had large windows and lots of earthy shades of color in it. I couldn't help but smile. This is going to be fun.
When we got inside I sat in one of the black leather chairs in the animal print sunroom while we waited for Kyoya to finish his conversation with the pilot about when to come pick us up to leave.
I could see the plane start to taxi away as Kyoya approached the building through the floor to ceiling one way windows, and I watched him silently until he entered the meeting space.
"Alright!" Kyoya clapped his hands together then started to flip through his notebook. "I imagine Azula is already in her room so tha-"
Before Kyoya could even finish saying 'that' a blood curling scream ripped through the air.
"Azula." I breathed as I stood and ran down the hall towards the terrified sound. I kept running, not looking back, I could hear the club pounding down the hall behind me.
When I got to her room door I didn't even bother to check and see if it was unlocked, I just kicked the door, I then weaves through the large room to what could only be the bathroom. I grabbed the knob and put all my weight on the door, throwing it open. The whole club gathered behind me, wide eyed with shock.
Azula sat on the floor wrapped in a towel, crazed eyed and shaking. She was covered completely in crimson (Red water? No too thick.), she was covered from head to toe in blood. Her blue hair looked almost purple and stuck to her face, and it all ran is streams down her face and streaked across the white towel, tainting it. Her bare arms and legs were even covered in it, and it looked like it was already drying.
She lifted a shaking hand, pointing, "Sh-Sh-Shower." She couldn't even speak straight.
I looked over at the shower head, which was spewing blood instead of water. I spun around and faced the club.
"Too far guys!" I yelled. "This is just cruel! You can just ask her what she is afraid of!"
They all just blankly stared at me. "We didn't do this. We just got here." Hikaru answered, this struck fear into my heart. If they didn't who did?
Azula reached a shaking hand up again, and pointed at the mirror. There was a sentence written there, it looked like it should be on the mirror, but it wasn't, it was in the reflection, but when I looked to what it should be reflecting, there was nothing. It was like looking onto a tv screen, except it was a mirror. Even the twins couldn't pull off a nonexistent reflection like this.
I read the sentence written in smeared blood in the reflection aloud, "You cannot run, all will pay."
I turned to the club, "All will pay for what?"
Azula finished in a dead serious voice behind me, that ran chills up my spine, "Their sins."
