5-6 more chapters at most! And yes, this is followin the anime, as my future story (First two chapters posted on Deviantart. :)) Bloody Roses, shall be a cross over of Vampire Knight and Ouran Host Club, but will take place AFTER the events of the VK manga, but during the events of the OHSHC manga. Starting from teh Dance party chapter (As shown in chapter two) and will be following the two main protagonists, (Twins) Shiki Rin and Rei. Mainly Rin though, who is similiar to her father, Shiki Senri, while Rei, is similar to their mother, Tsukigomori Aiko.
At the stroke of midnight, the carriage will have changed back into a pumpkin, Kaoru thought, tapping his pencil to his mouth gently. But, this particular spell, wasn't cast by a fairy godmother.
"Alright, next item on the agenda," The Class Representative, Kazukiyo Soga, spoke. "I move to discuss what the class plans will be for next week." He had brown hair and navy blue eyes, covered by a pair of grey glasses.
"Next week?" Haruhi questioned confused. Isami blinked and looked at her sister, surprised, before stating in realization,
"Oh, yeah, that's right! You only entered Ouran in Highschool, huh?" Haruhi twisted her body to look at her sister, who sat behind her.
"Halloween!" Hikaru reminded her with a grin.
"After we take our Fall exams, we're allowed a few days off." Isami explained with a goofy grin, "Until the end of October, at least."
"And we get to wear costumes on campus to celebrate!" Kurakano, also a class representative, added with a smile. She had long, auburn hair and brown eyes.
"And also," Kazukiyo continued, "To promote comradely, each class is allowed to do a special event of their own choosing."
"Event?" Haruhi questioned, still confused.
"Right!" Kaoru said with a grin, holding up an index finger, "They're pretty fun, actually."
"Yeah," Hikaru added. "We socialize, or watch some old movies, stuff like that."
"Boring, boring BORING!" Renge screamed. She quickly jumped up on a table, declaring, "Halloween~! The day signals the end of summer and the start of winter! Halloween~! The one day where ghouls walk against the earth and disguised as ghouls we try to ward them all off~! Halloween~!" She sang, clasping her hands together as she twirled in a pink and white uniform. She spread her arms out with a smile, "We wear costumes, play pranks of trick or treaters that get hopelessly abandoned!" She posed, giggling, and batted her eyelashes multiple times. Isami blinked in confusion and slight discomfort at the mention of Halloween...and ghouls...and scaring people...
"Some people don't wait for Halloween to dress up," Hikaru deadpanned, a hand on his hip. Kaoru added, frowning as he also deadpanned,
"Some people cosplay year round." Isami frowned and asked confusedly,
"What's wrong with cosplay?" And at that, the twins grinned and moved over to her, pulling her out of her seat and wrapping their arms around her. Hikaru with his arms around her waist, and Kaoru her shoulders-their usual trademark sandwich hug for Isami. Kaoru was in front, this time, while Hikaru was in the back. Her face flared slightly when Hikaru purred into her ear, leaning down, smirking,
"It's perfectly fine when you do it, Isami..."
"But it's not as attractive when other people do it." Kaoru whispered, tilting her head up to look at him, he leaned down closely to her with a smirk. Her heart rate sped up with the crazy flip-flop feeling of butterflies rampaging around her stomach made themselves known.
In the background, there were a few girls getting nosebleeds and squealing...Wait, did one just faint?
"H-Hey, I-I wasn't talking a-about me-!" She was cut off by a quick, chaste kiss from Kaoru. Her face flared brightly and her heart quickened so fast, she thought it was going to explode.
"Now, Kaoru," Hikaru pouted, "Don't hog Isami all to yourself..."
Haruhi banged her head into her desk, wondering, I can't believe I actually wanted those three to get together...The screaming and teasing increased by tenfold.
And like that, Kaoru released Isami with a grin, Hikaru twirling the pale brunette around and stealing her lips for a few seconds before pulling away.
"Is...That blood?" A boy asked, staring at the large red puddle of liquid growing by the second from one the girls who fainted from bloodloss. "Um-Class President! Can someone help me bring these girls to the Nurse's Office? They're all unconscious!"
Kazukiyo sighed, pushing up his glasses, "Miroku, Kyohei, and Yuki! Please help Daichi bring the unconscious girls' to the Office."
"Yeah, yeah..."
"Whatever."
"Sure!"
Renge however, was squealing her pretty little lungs out at the Fujachiin/Hitachiioka scene that happened. "Pictures! Pictures! Somebody have better gotten some pictures of that!" She pointed at the couple-er, group couple? "Oh, that was simply-Oh!" She squealed, clasping her hands together and twirling, "Polyandry between the Hitachiin brothers' and Isami!? Oh, I just can't get enough!"
"Um," Haruhi tried to think of something to distract the blonde and came up with, "So, what's up with that outfit?" Renge laughed, quickly pulled out a cellphone and put it back, and explained with a smile,
"Just between us, this is the official uniform from Uki Doki Memorial 2, which isn't scheduled for release until next spring!" She posed again, smiling widely. "Whattya think?" Translation: Through bribery, she received top secret information. She smirked, "I know important people from the inside."
Isami muttered from her spot between the Hitachiin twins'," For some reason, I don't doubt that..."
The Fujioka sisters and the Hitachiin brothers all sweatdropped. Kazukiyo walked up, slightly annoyed, and interrupted,
"Miss Houshakuji, we're having homeroom now." He asked, "Could you get down off the desk, please?"
"Tea parties and cosplay!?" Renge continued, ignoring the brunette. "The Host Club does that practically nonstop!" Isami felt herself pale,
Please tell me she isn't going where I think she's going...
"What our Halloween requires," Renge continued, causing Isami to tense and hold her breathe. Renge squealed, "is something special!" Isami let out a breathe she didn't know she was holding, causing the brothers' to look down at her confused.
Kazukiyo had sweat beading down his face as he said nervously, "Um, we're supposed to decide this as a class..." Renge ignored him, smiling widely,
"So I propose holding a Halloween, Test of Courage, tournament!" She declared, pointing a finger at the ceiling. Isami felt all life drain out of her. "The bravest student wins!"
Kazukiyo froze, glasses nearly falling off of his nose.
"A test of courage," Hikaru began with a wide smirk, his grip on Isami tightening.
"Tournament, you say?" Kaoru finished, smirking devilishly. He wrapped his arm around Isami's shoulder, placing a hand under his chin in a thinking pose.
Isami and Kazukiyo felt as thought their worlds were being brought down...slowly, as everyone continued to talk.
"Here's what we'll do!" Renge started, "We'll ask the superintendent for the school, after-hours when it's dark. Then we'll all dress up in our freakiest costumes and proceed to have the time of our lives by scaring the absolute crap out of each other!"
The brothers laughed, saying in unison, "Yeah, we're in." And her world shattered, completely.
Halloween...? Ghost, ghouls, werewolves...I like supernatural stuff sure., but only in books... Her head fell forward and landed against Kaoru's shoulder, causing him to blink and smile softly down at her. Hikaru began with an evil smirk,
"I really like the part,"
"About it being dark." Kaoru finished, smirking, but not as evil, as he placed a hand gently on the back of Isami's head. He blinked as she muttered,
"I want to go home..."
"Why's that?" Kaoru asked, but got no reply. He frowned.
"That sounds awesome!" A boy spoke up.
"This is going to be so much fun!"
"Costumes? Yeah!"
"We get scared and then later get our chance to scare someone else!"
"Well, now," Kazukiyo began, shaking and waving his hand around, "Why don't we think this through everyone!?" His voice wavered. "We can't all go individually...We should at least be in teams of three or four..."
Kurakano smiled at Kazukiyo, saying, "Yeah, teams would be scarier!"
And at the same time, in complete unison, the two scaredy cats froze. Isami closed her eyes and bit her lip, raising her arms up and wrapping them around Kaoru, needing some form of comfort. Kaoru responded almost instantly, wrapping his arms around her petite figure.
Hikaru smirked evilly, "And anybody who leaves..." He pulled Isami away from Kaoru and held her against his chest, wrapping his arms around her waist and torso. Isami had her bangs covering her eyes, so nobody could see her face.
"Gets featured on the front page of the newspaper as "The Captain of All Cowards!" Kaoru added, frowning slightly at his brother's actions. But he said nothing, as they both agreed they'd share her, but Hikaru was selfish and craved her attention. He just had trouble showing it and controlling his emotions. Nonetheless, he let his brother hold Isami, who had grabbed Hikaru's arms and leaned her head against his shoulder. Kaoru frowned when he saw her biting her lip.
What's she worried about?
Kazukiyo had sweat beading down his face as everyone declared,
"Seconded!" Kazukiyo was about to faint, but he quickly regained his posture and pushed up his glasses, stuttering,
"Um, Alright then. Are there any objections to the majority vote?" He focused his gaze on the younger Fujioka sister, who seemed to be very unhappy with the idea. "Are there any at all?" His gaze intensified and Isami seemed to realize someone was burning holes in her. She lifted her head and turned it, looking at Kazukiyo through her bangs. She tensed and Hikaru tightened his grip on her, confused at her reactions.
Why is she so tense? Is she afraid or something?
Isami quickly ducked her head again, uncomfortable with Kazukiyo's gaze on her. Stop looking at me...Stop it. Stop it! She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, absolutely refusing to look back at Kazukiyo. Why is he looking at me;stop it!
"Is anyone opposed to the idea!?" He shifted his gaze to the older sister, who just stared boredly at him. He started sounding desperate, "Come on, anyone!?" No reaction or opinion voiced. Kazukiyo felt like a bullet went through his chest; all hopes scattered into the wind. "Oh, very well...then the motion passes unanimously." He had a rain cloud over his head, soaking him to the bone-metaphorically, of course. "The class event for this year, will be a special Halloween Test of Courage Tournament."
The entire class, except for Kazukiyo, Isami, and Haruhi cheered. Kaoru smirked while Hikaru smiled and gave a thumbs up.
X.X
"Hello~!" The Hitachiin twins' greeted the rest of the Host Club, dragging the Fujioka sisters with them. Tamaki looked at them, decked out in a dark purple cape with fangs, a girl who fainted in his grasp, and demanded,
"Why are you guys late!? Hurry up and change."
"Sorry, boss, but from not until Halloween," Hikaru began, a hand on his hip, a smile on his face. Kaoru added, same position,
"Count us out!"
"Okay?" Haruhi and Isami just stood there, annoyed and bored. Tamaki grew alarmed and exclaimed with wide eyes,
"What!?" Hunny stood next to Mori and asked confused,
"Count you out?" The brothers' replied, still smiling,
"We're on the preparation committee for a special event! Class 1-A is sponsoring it."
"Duty calls, then." Kyoya said, dressed similar to Tamaki, only with a tophat. The brothers' waved, grabbing the Fujioka sisters, and said as they walked away,
"Good luck without us for a week!" Hunny smiled and waved,
"You have fun!" Tamaki, however, was distressed.
"Hold on! Why is Haruhi and Isami going?" The twins smirked evilly and pulled Haruhi closer to them, releasing Isami. Hikaru said with a smirk, eyes flashing evilly,
"Well, boss, she is in our class, you know."
"The special event," Kaoru added with the same devilish look, "is an after-dark, Test of Courage Tournament." Isami, jealousy towards her sister forming once again, started to walk away from the group and headed towards the doors.
Of course...It's always Haruhi. Dating them isn't even going to make a difference...They still hate me. She felt her eyes start to water. She bit her lip and dug her nails into her palms, hurt and angry. She ignored them and gripped the door handle, turning it slowly. Her shoulders and bottom lip started to tremble and Isami tried to hold back the tears. They hate me. They were just using me, weren't they? They hate me;there was no way that they actually loved me. They hate me. They prefer Haruhi over me...
"Haruhi...please tell me you won't take part in this! Tell me you won't!?" Tamaki begged the petite brunette. Kaoru moved away from Haruhi, Hikaru still having a hand placed on Haruhi's shoulder with a devilish smirk.
"Calm down, Sempai, it's just a bit of harmless fun." Haruhi told him, a smile on her face. Kaoru, who was only listening to the conversation, noticed that a certain brunette was missing and looked around, only to spot her by the doors. He frowned deeply, noticing her trembling form. He looked back at his brother, Haruhi, and Tamaki for a moment, before looking back at Isami.
Something's wrong... He thought and started heading towards the brunette, who- from his point of view- just placed a hand on the doorknob. He saw her turn it slowly-he was a few feet away now. Is she crying? Why...Oh.
Not only do they hate me, but I have to deal with Halloween. With ghosts and ghouls and spiders and witches a-and...They all hate me! Her thoughts reverted and she squeezed her eyes shut, silent tears streaking down her face from her lack of holding them back. She twisted the knob the rest of the way and opened the door. She took a step forward, only to be forced back by a strong arm wrapping itself around her waist. She didn't even have to look to know who it was. She felt her heart pound and her stomach do those annoying flip-flops and she cursed herself for feeling this way towards someone who hated her. She spoke, her voice soft and quiet, "Let me go, Kaoru."
"Not a chance, Isami. Not when you keep thinking like this." He replied. She tensed when he wrapped his other arm around her torso, gripping her shoulder while his other arm gripped her lower arm.
"What do you mean?" Her bangs fell over her eyes, covering them so you could not see her expression. A shadow fell over her face, "Thinking like what?"
His grip tightened on the small girl and replied bluntly, "That we prefer Haruhi over you." The girl froze and Kaoru knew that he hit the mark. He released her and gripped her shoulders, forcefully, but gently, turning her so that she'd face him. She didn't meet his eyes, which were staring at her intently. He leaned down and quickly brushed the bangs out of her face, tucking some loose strand of hair behind her ear before caressing her cheek gently with his thumb. He then gripped her chin and lifted her head up, so that she would look him in the eyes. He could see her tears and the fact that it was them, him and Hikaru, made her cry, hit him in the chest like a punch to the gut. He continued softly, "We love you Isami. We don't like Haruhi like that, you know this. We were only teasing the boss; You know how much he really likes Haruhi." And a thought hit him, similar to the one he had this morning during class,
And this is the magic spell. We may just be members of the Host Club, but the boss calls Haruhi and Isami his daughters, and imagines us to be members of his family.
He tried to clear his head of those thoughts, and said, instead, "Isami...We could never hate you. We love you way to much to do that, now, please, smile for me? You look much better with that goofy smile on your face." And in response, Isami's face flared and she bit her lip.
"I-I...I l-love you, too..." She gave him a small smile and Kaoru grinned. He quickly leaned down and connected his lips with hers, causing her eyes to widen for a split second before closing and kissing back. It was only for a few seconds, but to them, it felt like forever. They pulled away just as Hikaru told Tamaki,
"It's time go, boss! Adieu!" He quickly grabbed Haruhi and headed towards the doors towards Isami and Kaoru. Kaoru quickly grabbed Isami and headed out with his brother and Isami's sister.
"Wait!" Tamaki cried out in protest, "I could be a valuable asset to the planning committee! Let me come too!" But they were already gone.
Nekozawa's laughter echoed around the room, causing Tamaki to freeze in terror and robotically turn his head towards a coffin, that opened and revealed Nekozawa.
"N-Nekozawa-Sempai...When did you-?" Umehito cut him with a creepy grin, speaking,
"Well, now, isn't this interesting?" He made a few movements with Belzenef, and said, "What's that, Belzenef? You think it sounds like fun? Why, you might just be onto something there! If it's fear and terror they want, than the Black Magic Club will be happy to oblige." His deep voice echoed around the room and if he wasn't dressed so scarily, girls would be fainting at the sound, "After all, what's Halloween without a healthy dose of pure, unadulterated terror?" He laughed as the coffin door closed slowly.
Tamaki merely sweatdropped, still slightly frightened.
X.X (A.N. I just LOVE Nekozawa! He's hilarious! XD)
"So what kind of budget limit should we put on costumes?" Kurakano asked, smiling widely at the sight of Kaoru sitting on a desk with Isami on his lap, his arms wrapped around her. Her face was bright red, but she wasn't complaining. "Once everyone starts shopping, they'll go all out."
"Why don't we follow the commoners' rule of keeping it under 300 yen?" Hikaru suggested, arms crossed as he leaned against the same desk Kaoru and Isami were sitting on. Well, Kaoru was sitting on, but I guess it could count as Isami also sitting on it...
"That should be interesting." Kaoru said, re-positioning Isami on his lap to get more comfortable.
"It would be a good idea to have a doctor handy," Renge added with a innocent smile on her face. "just in case anyone faints, or have a heart attack, jumps out of a window, or something'." Isami was getting paler and paler at each one. Haruhi thought in surprise, but with a bored look on her face,
They all seem pretty excited about all this. She then noticed Kazukiyo gesturing for her and Isami to go over and talk to him. She blinked and stood, looking at her sister. Isami noticed her gaze and turned her head, blinking in confusion. Haruhi gestured to Kazukiyo, Isami glancing at him with wide eyes from realization and nodded. Renge and Kurakano went on, while Haruhi got up and started to head out. Isami poked Kaoru in the arm, causing him to look down at her and Hikaru to turn his head when she spoke quietly,
"C-Can you put me down, please? I need to talk to the Class Rep. about something." Kaoru frowned, but relented and released her. She jumped down, stumbling slightly, before power walking over to her sister, unaware that the brothers' were following her with curious faces.
...Taimusu kippu...
"You have nyctophobia?" Haruhi asked bluntly. Isami added in confusion,
"S-So you're afraid of the dark?"
"Yes, and you can add to that, Horror movie-phobia, scary ghost story-phobia, being startled by a loud noise in the other room-phobia, and accidentally seeing trailers for horror movies-phobia." The class president listed off, curled up in a ball behind a statue and by a window. He stuck out his lip as he demanded childishly, "And what's with those things? Why do they keep showing us those things without warning us about them first? It just doesn't make sense to me! What ever happened to the civil rights for the fraidy-cats out there!?" He got closer to the sisters, who were kneeling in front of him. "Cowards are people too!" He got right up in there face as he shouted, "What about the others classes with their tea parties? It's just so unfair!" Isami flinched at the loudness of his voice and inched closer to Haruhi, who cried out in protest,
"Class Rep! Calm down!" Kazukiyo back up, mumbling,
"Oh, my...I'm sorry." His voice was small.
"If you were opposed to it from the start, why didn't you just bring up in the meeting?" The sisters' asked.
"I tried too," He got closer, "but I don't want to look like I'm throwing my weight around up there!" He got closer, "So I was counting on your help," Right up in there faces, "To SAVE ME!"
"Please calm down!" Isami gripped her sister's arm and ordered,
"Stop doing that!" Kazukiyo backed up again and apologized,
"I'm sorry..."
"It-It's fine." Isami stuttered, alarmed. She then questioned confused, "How-How exactly were we supposed to save you?"
"I was desperately giving you signs to oppose it, seeing how you looked like you disliked the idea as much as I did," Isami tensed and her sister glanced at her surprised. "But you just didn't seem interested! The same goes to you Haruhi Fujioka!" The sisters tensed, alarmed, at the remembrance of him staring at them intently. They sweatdropped and Isami thought,
So that's why he was looking at me like that...Oops. Hehe...My bad?
Kazukiyo had tears streaking down his face as he cried out, "If just even on person objects, then it goes up for discussion..."
"I-I didn't say anything because..." Isami swallowed the lump in her throat and admitted quietly, "I didn't-I didn't want to look like a scaredy cat..."
Haruhi's eyes softened as she looked at her sister, "Isami..." She glanced at Kazukiyo and sweatdropped, "I'm sorry...we had no idea." Their telepathic ability: Zero.
"Please, Fujioka sisters', you have to let me be on your team!" He got up in their faces again, "If I'm with you, then Haruhi Fujioka, maybe your peace of mind will help me! And I can remain more CAAAALM!"
"Class Rep!" The sisters' cried exclaimed. The Rep then whispered,
"And one more thing, neither of you can tell the Hitachiin brothers'." Isami felt herself tense, having a sense of foreboding.
"Hmm? Is someone a fraidy-cat?" The gingers in question questioned, smirks on their faces. Their eyes turned to Isami, their smirks growing wider, "Maybe two someones?"
Silence...
Isami let out a shriek and latched onto Haruhi. Kazukiyo screamed like a girl and jumped up, clawing at the window.
"Oh, there you are!" Kurakano said, opening the door. Kazukiyo stopped screaming and got down, standing. She smiled at them, "We're about to choose groups!" She held a clipboard in her hand, "So, do you have any idea of who you'd like to have on your team?"
And within seconds, Hikaru had his left arm around Kazukiyo, his right around Isami. Kaoru had his right arm around Kazukiyo, his left around Haruhi. Kazukiyo was in the middle, and the Fujioka sisters were on the end.
"Yeah! The five of us will be in one!" Kurakano giggled and smiled,
"Great! Then you guys are Team B, alright?" Kazukiyo stared at Kurakano, a blush on his face as his heart pounded. The Hitachiin brothers asked the boy with grins on their faces,
"Sounds like fun, right Class Rep.?" The boy felt his world shatter as he screamed in his mind,
THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!
Haruhi and Isami sighed in unison, stating, "It's all over now..." The the Hitachiin brothers' laughed evilly.
