Chapter Twenty-Five.

~...~

It wasn't long before Tamaki and Hikaru both shouted, "DONE!"

Ranka smiled, "My, my, it smells great in here! Can't wait to eat!"

Kyoya smiled towards Ranka, "Indeed, I just hope that these two who've never held a spatula in their lives before now can actually manage a good feast."

Haruhi had a huge sweat drop near her head. She didn't say anything, but what Kyoya said was close to what she was thinking herself.

Tamaki beamed, "Haruhi! My meal is the best! It shows my love... 100%!"

Hikaru laughed, "Really Tono? Because my meal represents my maji love 1000%!"

Kaoru sighed, "Seriously Hikaru? You're seriously going there with the UtaPri joke?"

Ranka laughed, "Alright, alright, everyone calm down. Now... obviously Haruhi will be judge, but Tamaki, if you could please tell us your dish and serve it to each of us?"

Tamaki beamed with joy, "Of course!" He carefully placed four plates down on the table, one infront of each person at the table.

Kyoya glanced at his meal, "Hmm... it looks edible."

Tamaki twitched, "Of course it's edible! It's LOVE in there!"

Kaoru sighed, "Anyday now Tono... we would like to eat before it gets cold."

Tamaki nodded, "Ever since I was young, I have had an interest in learning about commoner food! And yet, I, myself, have never eaten such a delicate, delicious product in my life, but today! I, Suou Tamaki have created the masterpiece known as... Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pizza - it's kind of like a pancake with all sorts of delicious veggies and meat)!"

Haruhi looked at her plate and was surprised to see that it did indeed look like okonomiyaki. Yet, she shuddered as she noticed the mayonaise writing on the top of hers said Your Daddy Loves You!

Ranka observed his own okonomiyaki, not too thrilled with the ugly bear drawing on top of his.

Kaoru snickered seeing Devil written on his. And Kyoya smirked as he noticed My daughter is off limits! written on his.

Tamaki continued to speak, "As you all have noticed, a very special! Meaningful message or image is on your okonomiyaki! That shows part of my love!"

Kaoru poked his okonomiyaki with a finger, "Tono's love feels like shit."

Tamaki pointed towards Kaoru, "DON'T TOUCH IT LIKE THAT! Okonomiyaki mustn't be poked and prodded! There's an artform to this!"

Haruhi blinked a few times, "Umm... Sempai... could you finish up your explainations so that we can eat?"

Tamaki nodded, "Of course! Anyways, this is special tempura-batted shrimp and pork okonomiyaki!"

Ranka exchanged glances with Haruhi, neither of them had heard of that type of okonomiyaki before, but since it was Tamaki's creation, they decided not to say anything.

Tamaki smiled, "Please, pick up your okonomiyaki's with your hands and eat them like a cookie!" Stars were in Tamaki's eyes, awaiting to see everyone pick up the okonomiyaki and eat it happily.

The four all picked up their okonomiyaki.

Haruhi's face immediately turned blue, "Sempai... the consistancy is wrong..."

Tamaki shook his head, "It isn't! Just try tasting it Haruhi!"

Kyoya placed his back down on the plate and shrugged, "I will not be eating something raw."

Kaoru laughed as a mixture of uncooked flour, water, and eggs poured out of the center of his food, "It really is shit! Hey Hikaru! Look, the shit is shitting!"

Hikaru laughed and placed a hand on Tamaki's shoulder, "Not all of us can be perfect beings."

Ranka took a small bite and immediately placed the food back on his plate, "This is disgusting!" He glared towards Tamaki, "Are you trying to poison us?!"

Tamaki shook his head back and forth, "No! Of course not! I'm sorry!"

Haruhi forced herself to take a bite and she immediately spat it out and downed a cup of tea.

Kyoya smirked and looked up at Hikaru, "We can only hope that yours is decent."

~...~

Tamaki went off into the corner and began growing random mushrooms while sulking about how no one loves him.

Hikaru then placed four plates of curry on the table. He smirked, "This is my dish. Pork curry! Enjoy!"

The four grabbed their spoons and took a bite of the curry.

Kaoru's eyes widened with surprise, "Hikaru! I never knew that you knew how to cook!"

Hikaru shrugged, "Some of us are just born perfect..."

Kyoya rolled his eyes with the comment, "I must admit that this is quite tasty."

Hikaru nodded, "Of course, of course!"

Ranka took a bite and began to cry, "It's delicious! A man who's good looking and can cook!" He turned towards Haruhi, "Haruhi! You're free to date Hikaru if you ever desire!"

Hikaru smiled and bowed, "Thank you!"

Kyoya sent a small death glare towards Hikaru. Kaoru smiled to himself, seeing how happy that comment made Hikaru.

Haruhi placed her spoon down and thought, "Say Hikaru... it's delcious but... there's something that I can't wrap my finger around..."

Hikaru sat down next to Haruhi, "Eh? Is there something wrong with my food?"

Haruhi shook her head, "No... it just tastes very nostalgic... I've definitely eaten this before..." She continued to think and after awhile, a lightbulb went off, "Ah! It tastes just like Vermont Curry!"

Hikaru nodded, "Bingo! Good job Haruhi!"

Everyone stared at Hikaru.

Haruhi blinked a few times, "Eh?"

Hikaru then pulled out empty boxes of Vermont Curry, "Tada! All I did was follow the instructions to a tee! Cooking really is simple~"

Tamaki immediately rushed from his corner and pointed towards Hikaru, "YOU CHEATER! HOW DARE YOU USE ARTIFICIAL STUFF!"

Hikaru shrugged, "What's wrong, Tono? Mad that you've lost?"

Tamaki grabbed the closest thing that was near him (which was a frying pan), and threw it at Hikaru, "YOU DEVIL! CHEATING!"

Hikaru dodged the frying pan, which then hit the wall behind him, leaving a hole.

Tamaki was yelling about Hikaru's cheating and continuously threw things at him. All of those things, Hikaru dodged.

Hikaru yelled back, "Tono! There was no rule on not being allowed to use boxed recipes!"

~...~

After a good fifteen minutes of throwing and dodging, Ranka finally had it to his limit, "YOU TWO! QUIT IT!"

They both stopped and looked at Haruhi's father.

Ranka then looked them both directly in the eyes, "No one wins. And neither of you have my consent to date Haruhi!"

Tamaki cocked his head to the side in confusion and Hikaru had a look of pain on his face, "Eh?!"

Ranka smashed his hands down on the table and yelled, "YOU TWO DESTROYED OUR ENTIRE APARTMENT! HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO LIVE NOW!? AND THE REPAIR COSTS ARE GOING TO BE IMMENSE!"

The two guys looked around the room and noticed several destroyed walls. The kitchen was covered in flour and other random items.

Kyoya smirked seeing the scene play out infront of him.

Ranka looked at the two of them, "How are you two going to fix this?"

Tamaki immediately beamed up, "Of course! I shall take both you and Haruhi to my house! I will pay for all the repairs and-"

Before Tamaki could finish Kaoru spoke up, "I'm sure that your fiance will love to know that you're inviting another girl into your home."

Kyoya snickered to himself, happy with the comment coming from Kaoru, As noted... everything is playing out perfectly... if these cards continue to be played correctly... Haruhi will be mine in no time.

Hikaru got down into the most humblest of bows, "I'M SORRY!"

Ranka smiled, "Thank you, Hikaru. You're forgiven."

Tamaki blinked a few times, "Eh? I'm sorry too..."

Ranka glared at Tamaki, "You're NOT forgiven."

Tamaki froze still, not comprehending why the evil twin was forgiven, but he wasn't.

Hikaru then looked Ranka straight in the eyes, "I will do anything in my power to repair all of this... I also will provide you two with living quarters."

Ranka nodded, "Wonderful!" He turned to look at Haruhi, "Haruhi~ pack up your things! We're going to live with Hikaru and Kaoru until the apartment is fixed!"

Haruhi shook her head, "Uh... Dad... are you... sure?"

Ranka smiled, "Of course! What could possibly go wrong?!"

Haruhi froze. There were too many things that could go wrong in her head. Knowing the twins, she figured that they would be up to know good.

Ranka then went into his room, then walked back out, "Alright Hikaru, to help out, I need you to wear this." He handed over some clothes to Hikaru, who then went into the bathroom to change into them.

Once Hikaru came out of the bathroom everyone was stunned with his appearance. Haruhi immediately turned away, completely red in the face, "D-DAD?! What are you thinking?!"

Ranka smiled happily, "Oh Haruhi, you're most definitely old enough to see a gorgeous guy wearing a construction uniform!"

Haruhi shook her head, "Construction uniform, yes... but NOT that type!"

What Hikaru ended up wearing was an adult-shop Construction Uniform. Basically, it was black boots, a tight, yellow thong, black suspenders, and a construction hat.

~...~

Ranka smiled, "Hikaru, if you could take this sponge and work on cleaning the flour off from the counter, that would be wonderful! After that, you can call in some company or whatever to fix the rest of this mess. Please escort me and Haruhi to your place." Hikaru nodded. Ranka then turned his attention to everyone else, "Haruhi and I will be moving soon, so I'm afraid that company isn't neccessary right now."

With that said, Kyoya stood up and smiled towards Haruhi's father, "Thank you for today. Please let me know if there's anything that you need." He bowed, then made his exit, irritated that Ranka actually agreed to have them stay at the Twin's Mansion.

Tamaki politely said his goodbyes and left.

Kaoru decided to help Haruhi pack, while Hikaru was doing whatever Ranka told him to.

It was two hours later when the twins were finally able to bring Ranka and Haruhi to their mansion.
