Chapter 20 – At The Beach: Random Fun
Karou's POV:
I was staring out the window since it was before opening time. Every since Kiyoko showed up, I couldn't stop thinking about the past…why can't I forgive her? "Haruhi! Let's go to the beach!" Looks like Hikaru and Kaoru are bothering Haruhi again. (Chuckles)
Haruhi: "The beach?"
H&K: "Yup!"
Haruhi: "H-hey!"
Karou's POV:
The twins just took Haruhi's paper and closed her notebook…I wonder what they're going to do next…
Hikaru: "Since the final exams are out of the way, all we have to do is wait for summer vacation to start." (Grins)
Kaoru: "Wanna go to the Caribbean or to Fiji?"
Haruhi: "I don't have enough money."
Karou: "Also, her passport is also a problem." (Walks up to Haruhi and wraps arms around her shoulder in a hug form.) "You know she can't travel anywhere else." (Looks at Haruhi) "Right Haruhi?"
Haruhi: "Yeah."
H&K: (Looks at Karou)
Karou: "What?"
H&K: "How come the boss lets you hug Haruhi like that, but when we do it, he calls us shady twins and pushes us away?"
Karou: "Because I'm actually a girl…anyways, why suddenly talk about the beach? Haruhi doesn't even own a swimsuit. I offered to buy her one, but she refused." (Lets Haruhi go and stands straight)
H&K: (Big silly grin) "That's why we brought a couple!" (Brings the pink bikini with the frilly top.)
Hikaru: "This is your swimsuit, Haruhi!"
Karou's POV:
"…" I don't know what to say about those two…-_- Oh…Honey-Senpai just brought a single piece swimsuit…
Kaoru: "Honey-Senpai is too naïve."
Hikaru: "Because Haruhi's chest is flat as a washboard, you can't even tell if she's a guy or a girl when you put a sweater on her."
Kaoru: "A one-piece swimsuit will only reveal her weakest points."
Karou: "That's sexual harassment you two." (Pulls Haruhi away from them.)
Haruhi's POV:
What is Karou talking about? Sexual harassment?
H&K: (Holds up the bikini with big grins) "But with this bikini, the frills will cover her washboard-like chest!"
Karou's POV:
Are they even listening to me!? =_=*…3…2…1-
Tamaki: "WHY ARE YOU TWO SEXUALLY HARASSING MY DAUGHTER!? MAMA! THE TWINS ARE SAYING NASTY THINGS ABOUT THEIR LITTLE SISTER!"
Kyoya: "Why must I have four kids only at the age of 17?"
Karou: O.O "…H-hey…are you two okay?" (Talking to the twins)
H&K: "Yeah, we're fine."
Karou's POV:
Fine? Suoh hit them with a baseball bat!
H&K: "Are you not going to go, boss?"
Tamaki: "Of course I'm going. To watch you two closely to make sure you won't sexually harass your little sisters." (Matter-of-factly and firmly stated.)
H&K: "Then it's settled."
Kyoya: "I don't have any objections."
Honey: "Can I bring Usa-Chan?"
Mori: (Nods silently)
Karou: "…I guess."
Haruhi: "W-wait! Karou, you agree!? J-just a second you guys."
Karou: "Think they'll listen?"
Haruhi: :'-/
H&K: "We're going to the beach!"
At the beach…
Guest: "It's so beautiful. It feels like as if I'm in a dream, watching the waves like this with you, Tamaki."
Tamaki: "It's not a dream, but if it is, I pray, that you can see me in your dream tonight."
Guest: "Tamaki-Sama..."
Haruhi: "…" =_=!
Karou's POV:
I didn't think the guests would come too…and…"Ahhh!" …these girls are getting on my last nerves...
Kaoru: "Hikaru! Be gentle!"
Hikaru: "I'm sorry; I'll go get it, Kaoru. Wait, Kaoru!"
Kaoru: "It's not me! It's the ball that getting away!"
Where Haruhi and Mizuki are:
Haruhi: "Why are we doing host club activities at the beach? I did say I wanted to go to a beach, but I didn't mean right away like this."
Mizuki: "I feel like Kyoya had this in mind all along." -_-
Haruhi: "Now, that I think about it…that's true. Hey, is it okay for you to talk normally even with everybody around here?"
Mizuki: "Well, nobody is here right now…so…I don't know. It hurts my throat lowering my voice like that."
Author's note: Mizuki is wearing the wig that makes her look like Karou right now.
Guest: "Haruhi-kun, aren't you going to go swimming?"
Haruhi: "Ah, I like watching the waves more.
Guest 2: "Karou-Kun, why aren't you in a bathing suit?"
Karou: "I didn't think we'd come to the beach today, so I couldn't prepare." (Gentle smile) "But I'm glad to see you ladies having fun."
Guests: (Blushing)
Guest: "C-can we join you two?"
Haruhi: "Why? Go on and have fun. You know, it's really cute. I get you finally see you in your swimsuits." (smile)
Guests: (Blushing and floating hearts around them.)
Karou: (Gets up.)
Haruhi: "Where are you going?"
Karou: "Walk along the water."
Guest3: "Can I walk with you?" (Slips arms around Mizuki's waist, hugging her from behind.)
Karou: ! (Quickly moves away.) "Actually, I have to go ask the president about our next event for our club. I'll let you ladies know when I can okay?" (Smile)
Guests: (Blush) "O-okay!"
Karou's POV:
…did she feel my waist and hips? She couldn't have noticed they curved in right? The girls here are stupid, so she couldn't have figured out I'm a girl, right? Yeah, she couldn't have figured that out."
Guest3: "That's weird."
Guest2: "What's weird?"
Guest3: "I thought I felt female hips, not male."
Guest1: "What are you talking about?"
Guest3: "When I hugged Karou-kun from behind."
Guest2: "you're so stupid, Karou is a boy."
Guest3: "I guess you're right. Maybe it's the sun that's fooling with my brain."
Author's Note: Karou and Mizuki are the same person as you know, but Karou: "…" means that Mizuki is talking in her disguised voice and Mizuki: "…" Means that she is talking in her regular voice.
Karou: (Sits down on a chair where Kyoya is.) "…"
H&K: "Did something happen?"
Karou: "…someone hugged me."
H&K: "so?"
Karou: (Stares at H&K seriously.) "From behind, arms around my waist."
H&K: "Did she find out?"
Kyoya: "For how long?"
Karou: "Not that long, but long enough to raise suspicion. Around 1 second."
Kyoya: "Hmmm…I'm sure you'll be fine."
Karou: "I hope so too." (Stares at the ocean.)
Karou's POV:
I was worrying too much thinking about Kiyoko and the girl who hugged me from behind, I didn't realize Tamaki-Senpai was moving weirdly…wriggling in his chair …seriously, what's wrong with this guy?...hmmm….(sees a giant rock-cliff) How strange…didn't know the Nekozawa family was this much into cats…
Tamaki: "Ahhh!"
Nekozawa: "Everybody having fun?"
Tamaki: TT_TT "Kyoya! I told you I wanted us to use your private beach!"
Kyoya: "coming to the beach was all of a sudden, and Haruhi wanted to go somewhere close in Japan. Also, all of you own beaches out of the country, so we had to come here."
Karou: "I have a private beach in Japan too."
Tamaki: "THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING!?"
Karou: "Like I would. Kyoya-Senpai knew."
Tamaki: "Kyoya!"
Kyoya: "We were going to originally go to Mizuki's beach, and it is pretty beautiful there."
H&K: "Then why didn't we?"
Karou: (shrug) "I don't know. I just followed you guys."
Kyoya: "The Nekozawa family beach was closer."
Tamaki: "That's not an excuse!"
Nekozawa: "The cat rock is where the each generation of the Nekozawa family's offerings are placed to worship our family guardian's deity. Oh, and there is a legend that says if you jump off from the cliff into the sea from there, you will never again come back up…(looks at the mouth of the cat) Oh? We have a brave challenger."
H&K&T: "Huh? (Looks at mouth of cat) HARUHI!"
Karou: "Why you three shouting?"
Haruhi's POV:
Though I was sitting by myself, the rest of the host members were too close and noisy, so then I decided to walk along the shores. Wow…look at that cliff, it looks like a cat. Hmmm…I wonder what things look like from there…(goes to the mouth of the cliff) Ohhhh…I would probably die if I'm not careful and I fall…
Haruhi: "WAOH!"
Haruhi's POV:
…*realization* … -_- …I didn't realize I was so close to the edge…
Tamaki: "D-dangerous…almost lost precious d-daughter…" (Looks at skull) "…AHHHHHH!"
Karou: "What's going on in here? Haruhi? Why are you on the ground?"
Haruhi: (Gets up from ground) "Oh, hey, Karou."
Karou: "…is Hikaru and Kaoru okay too? They look out of breath…and Tamaki-Senpai looks really pale…"
Nekozawa: "I tried to create a more artistic atmosphere for everybody's enjoyment. I would be an honor if it was to your liking…"
Everybody else: "…~_~!..."
Nekozawa: "I always wanted to become closer friends with Tamaki."
Tamaki's POV:
W-why me!?
Hikaru: "Feels like"
H&K: "We're in a horror movie…"
Karou: "You know…" (In his most creepy voice) "if you're not careful with what you say, you may get cursed."
H&K: "Eh, we don't believe in that stuff."
Karou: (points to Tamaki who is even more scared a freaked.)
H&K: "Hm?" (looks at Tamaki) "Ah." (Both grunting in "pain" from being "possessed" now.)
Hikaru: "W-what…ugh…it hurts! My head! It hurts!" (Falls to ground)
Kaoru: "Hikaru! Ahhh! H-Hikaru!" (falls to ground.)
Karou: (Coughs to clear his throat…then gets an idea.) "…"
Tamaki: "W-what's going o-on!?" (looks at Karou who is swaying while walking towards Tamaki.) "K-Karou? W-what's wrong?"
Karou: (Grabs onto Tamaki's shoulders while looking at him dazed and scary-like) (Says in a whispery voice) "Get away from here….save…your…self." (faints)
Tamaki: "AHHH! Karou!" (Holds Karou to support him.) "A-are you okay?"
Karou: (In rougher, lower, more scary, freaky voice.) "Your soul."
Tamaki: "eh?"
Karou: "Your soul."
Tamaki: "What?"
Karou: (Loud, scary, rough, low voice) "I WANT YOUR SOUL! GIVE ME YOUR BRAIN! I NEED SACRIFICE!"
Tamaki: "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" (runs quickly away from the cave carrying Haruhi.)
Hikaru: (Laughing while getting up with Kaoru) "That was priceless!"
Kaoru: (Laughing really hard) "That was really fun!"
Karou: "Hmmm…Haruhi wasn't scared…"
H&K: "What'd you say?" (Calming down from laughing really hard.)
Karou: "Nothing."
Nekozawa: "You three are really good at acting."
Karou: "It was nothing…Tamaki-Senpai gets scared easily." (Smirk)
Kaoru's POV:
Man, that was really fun! Mizuki always has new ideas to make fun of the boss. I wonder what idea she'll have next. (looks at Mizuki.)
Hikaru's POV:
Every time I think of the boss's face earlier, it makes me crack up (starts laughing slightly) Huh? (looks at Kaoru.) … he's been looking at Mizuki a lot lately … I wonder why. (looks at Mizuki)
Karou: "Huh?" (looks at Hikaru and Kaoru) "Yes?"
H&K: "…nothing." (looks away)
Karou: ?
Haruhi's POV:
Tamaki-Senpai got so scared that he just carried me without thinking and ran out of the cave so fast…"HARU-Chan!" Huh? Honey-Senpai?
Honey: "Wanna go hellfish Shunting with me?"
Haruhi's POV:
What's hellfish shunting?
Haruhi: "Don't you mean shellfish hunting? And there aren't a lot of (looks around her) wah- Where did all of this come from!?"
Mori's POV:
…where did it come from? …wait… (looks behind boulders of rocks) Kyoya?
Kyoya: "oh, Mori-Senpai. My parent's private police force wanted to apologize to Honey-Senpai for last time and brought some shellfish and crabs here for Honey-Senpai, so I let them do this."
Mori's POV:
oh…
Haruhi: "Amazing! Look how much we caught! We're going to have amazing side-dishes tonight!"
Haruhi's POV:
Tonight's dinner is going to be amazing!
Tamaki: "Looks like both of you are enjoying yourselves." (Mori comes down from rocks)
At the beach chairs under the tent…
Karou: "Do you guys know where we'll stay at tonight?"
H&K: "Nekozawa-Senpai's
Karou: "If his cave was that creepy…then I wonder how the inside of his house will be like."
H&K: "More creepy stuff."
Mizuki: "So." (Whispering) "What should we do next time?"
H&K: "What are you talking about?"
Mizuki: "About Tamaki-Senpai."
Hikaru's POV:
Though I'm used to Mizuki changing her voice from low to her regular, it's still kinda weird, and surprises me sometimes.
Kaoru's POV:
It's amazing how Mizuki can change her voice.
Hikaru: "What about the boss?"
Kaoru: "Should you be talking normally right now?"
Mizuki: "There's nobody near here and talking in 'Karou's voice' hurts my throat, so I try to not talk as much in his voice. Also, how should we trick him, prank him, next time? We can always…well you two can always trick him into playing a game, but what about pranking him like you two did when you guys changed your hair color, and earlier about 'being possessed?'"
Hikaru: "Kaoru and I just randomly come up with ideas."
Kaoru: "You really can't plan to prank him. What if something else happens?"
Mizuki: "True…this wig is heavy…I wonder when the guests will leave."
H&K: "Us too."
Mizuki: "You two seem to enjoy yourself with all the attention."
H&K: "You don't get it."
Mizuki: "What?"
H&K: "We wanted to see you and Haruhi is a bathing suit."
Mizuki: *sigh* "Both of you are real perverts, you know that?"
H&K: (Shrugs)
"A big haul!"
Mizuki: ?
H&K: "Huh? What was that?"
Haruhi: "We'll a feast for dinner tonight!"
Tamaki: "What do you think of this Haruhi?"
Haruhi: (looks at Tamaki)
Tamaki: "Do you think this giant crab to be…crab-tivating?"
Haruhi: "Yes." (Smiles)
Karou: "That was really cheesy, Suoh-Senpai."
Tamaki: "So cute." (Smiling and blushing)
(Centipede crawls out of the crab.)
…Silence…
Guests: "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" (Runs away in fear.)
Honey: (Runs away smiling)
H&K: (Running away while laughing.)
Mizuki: "Are they that scared?" (Walks up to crab and looks at centipede closely.) "It's not scary at all."
Haruhi: "Hm?" (Grabs the centipede.)
Mizuki: "Don't throw it."
Haruhi: (Still holding centipede) "Why not?"
Mizuki: "It's still is a living thing." (Takes the centipede and walks towards the grass, and gently puts it down.) (Stands up again only to find Haruhi, Hikaru, and Kaoru behind her.)
Kaoru and Hikaru put an elbow each on Haruhi's shoulders…
H&K: "Oi, Haruhi."
Hikaru: "Though you are a bug-loving girl, you were going to throw that centipede right?"
Kaoru: "Why were you going to throw it? You're so calm it bothers me."
Haruhi: "I don't love bugs, and it takes more than that to kill it."
Karou: "Don't worry, I let the centipede down easy on the grass. Don't be so hard on her."
Guests: "Haruhi! You're so manly! And brave!"
Mizuki's POV:
? where did they come from? I thought they all ran away…?
Guests: "Karou-Kun is secretly gentle and kind!" (Love, love, hearts flowing and flying everywhere.)
Haruhi: "…"
Karou: "No I'm not. I didn't set it down, I flicked it away."
Guests: "But you just said-"
Karou: "I was lying. Now stop bothering me." (Walks away, but the girls squeal and follow her anyway.)
