The next morning came earlier than any of the jet lagged siblings wanted. Each of the Host Club members went around and woke up someone. The twins, somehow receiving keys from their girlfriends to their room, had snuck into the twin girls' room and had woken them up with a loud bang. Now the Hitachiin twins were black and blue while they waited for their girlfriends to get ready for Christmas. Hunny and Mori had decided a much calmer way of waking up their girlfriends, also having received keys to their room. So the two were waiting with the twins as Tasia and Caitlin got ready for the day. Tamaki had tried to wake up Emily, who had ended up in a room by herself, but found that the girl was easily angered in the morning and was now nursing a large welp on his head. Kyouya had woken Yuigo and Acelin with now problem, though the two boys were shooting glares his way the entire time he was in their pressence. Haruhi had the easy job, having only to wake up Koharu via text so she could wake up her friend and little sister.
When the group was all together, they headed downstairs. The Veddette siblings were confused at first, but they then began to hear their Christmas CD being played from down the hall of the floor they had stopped on. The Host Club had them wait outside a set of double doors as they slipped through the smallest space possible between the doors. Soon enough, the doors opened to reveal the Host Club boys in white suits in front of a room with a large, decorated Christmas tree with a large pile of presents in front of it. Couches were set up around the room with short tables in front of them and tea sets sitting in the middle of the tables. The Host Club guided their guests inside and sat them down, Acelin bringing out his cellphone. He hit a few buttons before putting the phone away, smiling at his siblings.
"Merry Christmas everyone!" the Host Club called out together instead of their typical greeting. Haruhi came in then in a Santa Clause them dress, hat, and boots. She stepped forward and picked up the first present, a small blush on her cheeks as everyone watched her. The boys quickly moved to sit with their girlfriends as Haruhi brought up the first present. She stepped forward to Tasiawith a small smile. Anastasia looked from her to the large silver box to Hunny who was grinning next to her. Tasia took the box and began unwrapping it. Inside she found a beautiful violet hat. She picked up and saw a small velvet box underneath. Before she could reach for it, Hunny picked it up and shyly slipped down on one knee. Tasia gasped, dropping her hat and box as small tears came to her eyes.
"I-I figured this was a g-good time," Hunny said quietly, opening the box for her to see the ring. Along with the white velvet padding inside the box was a gold band with small purple gems shimmering along it until they began to line a small white diamond. Hunny took it out of the box and held it up to Tasia with a nervous smile. "Please marry me Tasia-chan."
Anastasia nodded happily as Hunny took her left hand and slid the ring on her finger. The Host Club and Veddette siblings cheered happily atthe sight of the newly engaged couple. Hunny straightened up and sat back down next to Tasia, who was admiring her new ring happily. As Haruhi went to go get the next box, Tasia turned to her fiancee and gave him a quick kiss.
Haruhi brought up two identical red and green boxes and took them to Aileana and Aileene. Na looked to her right at Na with her eyebrow raised, both of them taking the large boxes from Haruhi. In unison, the two began to peel away the wrapping paper on their boxes, revealing the cardboard box underneath. They opened the boxes to find another cardboard box. They opened that to fins a lot of tissue paper. They dug through the tissue paper to find another box. By that time, both of the girls were annoyed with the present their boyfriends wanted to give them and almost decided to throw them away. They opened the small box to find small white notecards. Na's read 'Look left' while Ne's read 'Look right'. The two did what the cards asked and came face to face with their boyfriends. The Hitachiin twins smirked at them before kissing them. Na and Ne smiled into the kiss, no longer mad about the trouble they had to go through to get their present. Everyone began laughing until the twins' kisses began to become a little more passionate and the Hitachiins pinned the Veddette twins to the couch.
"Enough!" Emily, Koharu, and Acelin called out, startling the two sets of twins. The others began laughing as the twins split apart under the three's stern gaze. The three siblings sat back down, but watched the twins closely. Haruhi brought out another box and frowned, reading the tag on it again.
"What's wrong Haruhi?" Acelin chuckled, looking at the girl's look of confusion.
"It's addressed to me," she murmured, racking her brain for any previous sign of the present as they had set this whole thing up.
"Open it," Koharu instructed with a small smile. Haruhi nodded slightly, beginning to unwrap the snowflake decorated present. The small box slipped from her fingers when she saw what was inside it. A small blue book, a key, and two slips of paper fell from the book as it hit the floor. "The key is to our house."
"In case you ever wanted to come over without Koharu," Yuigo continued on for his twin.
"Since you're always welcome," Tasia said happily.
"And we wanted you to go with us on vacation," Caitlin explained slowly, motioning to the little blue book.
"So Dad got you a passport," Emily informed the shocked girl.
"Plus we got together some of our money," Acelin continued on.
"And got you some tickets to France," the Veddette twins finished.
"Since we figured you and Tamaki would like to go together some time," Koharu murmured, smiling warmly at her best friend. Tamaki cheered happily at the idea of him and Haruhi spending time in France. His thoughts swirled at all of the ideas coming to his head about what they could do.
"Thank you," Haruhi said to the Veddette siblings as she gathered her presents.
"How did you sneak her present in?" the twins asked curiously, looking at their girlfriends.
"We have our ways," the two girls replied, smiling up at the two boys. Haruhi finally stood and picked up a large box. She carefully carried it to Yuigo and Risako.
"The Host Club put this together for you," she said as Yuigo took the box with a questioning look towards his twin. Koharu shrugged to let him know that she didn't know what it was. Risako began to unwrap the box's dark blue wrapping paper. Once all of the paper was off, Yuigo set it back down on the ground and opened the top. Inside was a porcelain English tea set with some kind of fabric underneath it. Yuigo took out the deep blue tea set and set it on the table to show his siblings as Risako took out the fabric. She unfolded it to find that it was a large blanket. A small card fell from it as it cascaded down her frame and to the floor. Yuigo bent over and picked up the card.
"To the soon to be newlyweds, we hope you have a happy home together," he read off with Risako blushing heavily next to him. He glanced up at the Host Club with a small smile. "You do remember that we aren't getting married until the summer, right?"
"We missed the bridal shower since we were over here," Haruhi explained with a small smile. "We wanted to try and make up for it."
"You didn't have to," Risako said, smiling gratefully at her friend. Haruhi went back to the presents and picked up a box that was decorated like a peppermint. She didn't even have to glance at the tag to know who this was for as she turned back to her friends. She walked over to the couch that held Acelin, Rose, and Koharu and handed the box to the young blonde girl. Rosalin squeaked happily at the sight of the present and tore into the present as soon as it hit her lap. She frowned when she what the present was. Inside the box was a doll that looked exactly like her in a dress that looked a lot like Haruhi's.
"We designed a whole line of clothes just for her," the Hitachiin twins informed the young girl, noticing her frown of displeasure.
"We thought you would enjoy it," Hunny said, his eyes welling up with tears.
"We thought that you could dress her up like you want to since you mother won't let you dress how you want," Haruhi quickly explained to the young girl. Rose stared at the doll for a moment before she started to smile at the hosts.
"Thank you very much!" she said happily as she took her new doll out of her box. Haruhi turned to go pick up another box, but Koharu stopped her.
"There are only five boxes left and there are ten of us left," she pointed out with a frown. Haruhi looked back at the boxes and frowned as well. Haruhi moved forward and shifted through the boxes until she finally came to a decision. She picked up a small box that was slightly hidden behind everything else and looked at the tag. She walked back to the couch with Acelin, Koharu, and Rose sitting on it and handed the box to Acelin. Acelin smiled at her and opened the small box. Inside was a card with scrolling writing inside. Acelin quickly read what the card said, a grin forming as he read.
"I really can become your mother's assistant?" he asked, turning to the Hitachiin twins. The two grinned at him and gave him thumbs up signs.
"She gave us the okay a while back and said that you can start whenever you're ready," they told him. "She'll even let you help with some of the designs."
Acelin seemed to be about to faint at their words, his dream finally coming true to be in the fashion industry. Haruhi went back to the stack of boxes and picked up one that was no larger than a deck of cards wrapped in a deep purple paper. She crossed the circle to her boyfriend and blushed deeply. Tamaki took it from her and read the tag. He smiled eagerly as he read that it was from her, ripping the paper off of the small box. He removed the lid to the white box to find a silver key on a violet cord sitting on some padding. Tamaki looked at Haruhi in confusion.
"It's to my house," she admitted, blushing even more as she stepped away from him. "Dad said it was okay to give it to you."
Tamaki's smile grew tremendously as he took the key out of the box. The cord was just long enough for him to put it over his head and around his neck. The key now shined from his chest as he toyed with it happily. Haruhi turned back to the three remaining boxes before she turned to the couch with the twins on it.
"Na, Ne, you guys didn't get Hikaru and Kaoru anything?" she asked, slightly confused about the girls' actions.
"We gave it to them this morning," Na replied as Ne snuggled closer to Hikaru.
"We just couldn't wait to see their faces," Ne informed everyone as she smiled up at her boyfriend. The Hitachiin twins grinned at their girlfriends and gave them quick pecks on their cheeks. Haruhi sighed and turned back to the boxes.
"Hun-chan," Tasia murmured quietly as Haruhi contemplated which box to give next. Hunny looked at his fiancée happily. "I hope you don't mind that I didn't get you anything. Mama had me busy with dance practice so I couldn't go shopping."
"You saying yes to me was enough, Tas-chan," Hunny replied, hugging his tiny girlfriend to him. Tasia smiled brightly up at Hunny as she snuggled into his small, but toned chest. Caitlin looked at her sister and future brother-in-law before turning to Mori.
"I was also busy with dance practice, so I could get you anything," she admitted sadly, using her bright green bang to hide her sad eyes. Mori gripped her chin lightly, making her look back up at him. He smiled slightly at her, letting her know silently that it was okay. Haruhi awkwardly cleared her throat from in front of their couch, having decided to bring Caitlin her present. Caitlin and Mori turned to her as Haruhi brought up the present. Caitlin reached out to receive the small box, but Mori took it before she could. He ripped off the small amount of paper to reveal a velvet box. Caitlin gasped, her eyes widening at the sight of the jewelry box. Mori dropped down onto one knee in front of her and opened the box, silently asking for her hand.
"I love you," he said in his deep voice, looking at her with a warm expression and soft eyes. Caitlin sputtered for a moment, unable to get any words out after seeing the ring. It was a simple silver band with a diamond held to it with a thin amount of silver metal. Around the ring were gems of every color. Caitlin looked closer at the ring and realized that the gem was removable so she could switch it out to a different color as she switches to a different color outfit.
"I love you too," she finally managed to gasp out as tears came to her eyes. She was so happy that he was proposing and had found the absolutely most beautiful ring for her to wear. Mori smiled slightly as he took her left hand and slid the diamond ring on her ring finger. Mori straightened and sat back in his seat next to her, allowing her to scoot so close to him that she was almost in his lap. Mori wrapped his arm around her as she examined her ring and the other jewels that it had come with. She took off her ring and took out the diamond, replacing it with the emerald stone that was snuggled into the velvet padding of the box.
Haruhi went back to the two finally boxes by the Christmas tree and picked up the smaller of the two. Everyone looked at the box and immediately knew it for Emily. The wrapping paper was camo with the bow a deep black color. Haruhi handed the box to Emily and took a step back. Emily eyed the box for a moment before she removed the paper. She opened the box to see a sheet of paper. She unfolded the paper and began reading silently, a small smile playing at her lips as she read.
"What is it?" Rose whined, wanting to know what her sister got.
"I have an all-expense paid vacation to Disney World this summer. It says I can take as many people as I want and have all of the penthouse suites reserved for my guests," Emily summed up what the sheet of paper said. The Veddette family looked around happily, knowing that she would take them along on any vacation. There was a pause as everyone looked at the final box left. Haruhi hesitated, but Koharu motioned for her to wait. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves. Koharu stood then and smiled nervously. Everyone turned their attention on her as she crossed the semicircle of couches to Kyouya.
"I, uh, I really couldn't think of what to get you for Christmas," she admitted quietly, a small blush forming on her cheeks as everyone watched her curiously. "I finally decided last night what I wanted to give you."
"What is it?" Kyouya asked, looking for any sign of a present being hidden on her. Koharu smiled weakly before stepping a little closer to him.
"I know you gave me two weeks to decide, but talking it out and thinking about it last night really helped me decide on if I really wanted to be with you," she said quickly, hearing Kyouya gasped softly. She glanced at him to see that his eyes were slightly wider and he seemed to be not breathing. She turning her head away from him, her whole face heating up so she looked like a tomato. "I-I decided that I want to be with you. To be truthful, I am nervous about being engaged, but I'm sure we can work it out together. I mean, Yuigo and Risako are making it work while being in nearly the same predicament as us, so I'm sure we can."
Kyouya didn't let her finish her ramblings. He quickly stood as she was speaking and pulled her to him, capturing her lips with his. Everyone began to applaud as the two kissed. When they finally broke apart, Kyouya was genuinely smiling at her, his onyx eyes dancing with joy. She smiled back at him and took his hand. She sat down on the couch next to his seat, but he remained standing. She looked at him curiously as Haruhi went to get the last box. Haruhi came back to Kyouya with the deep blue box with a silver bow. He smiled as he handed it to her. She took the box and looked around at everyone's eager expressions. She opened the box to a black book. She furrowed her brows in confusion as she opened it to the front page.
"For the girl who stole our hearts as terrific friend, songstress, and matchmaker," she translated the Italian into Japanese as she read. Underneath the writing was a picture of the entire Host Club with her family, minus her. The four twins were holding up a sign that read her name with a large heart on either side of it. She flipped to the next page to see a picture of her the first morning of school, her hair a mess as she threw on her mother's old blazer. Next to it was a picture of her on the last day of school last year, hosting with Kyouya as they said good bye to their senior guests.
"We all worked together for this," Tasia and Hunny said together, smiling happily at her. She turned the page to see a picture of their first costumed day. The boys dressed in tropical clothing while Haruhi and her stayed in their uniforms.
"We thought you would like to have something to keep track of all of our memories," Tamaki said as he wrapped his arm around Haruhi, who actually smiled at the touch.
"It's perfect," Koharu choked out, tears falling from her eyes as she flipped through the pictures of everyone and their adventures together. She looked up at everyone's smiling faces and smiled too, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Absolutely perfect."
Once everything was cleaned up a little, they decided to have a small party in the room they were taking up. Koharu looked down at her watch and frowned.
"I'm sorry you guys, but I promised to go over to the Cullens' and have a small party with them too," she said sadly, really not wishing to leave.
"Who is coming to get you?" Kyouya asked, gripping her hand tightly though he hadn't let it go since she had finished opening her present.
"Edward is," she replied with a small smile, knowing that he was trying not to be jealous.
"The other guy?" Acelin and Rosalin gasped out, causing Koharu to laugh.
"No, a classmate of ours," she giggled, looking at Kyouya's confused look. "I told you I had talked about what had happened."
She waved to everyone as Kyouya walked her to the elevator. He reached into his dress shirt's pocket as they waited for the elevator to get to their floor. He pulled out the velvet box with her engagement ring in it. Koharu smiled a little and allowed him to slip it onto her ring finger. She smiled at the sparkling ring on her hand before looking at Kyouya.
"I love you," she murmured, kissing him quickly as the elevator reached their floor.
"I love you too," Kyouya replied as she hit the button for the lobby and the doors closed. Koharu walked out of the building, her light coat flapping in the gentle wind as her thick boots hit the ground. She waited by the curb of the parking lot, waiting for Edward to drive up. A bright yellow car drove up and stopped in front of her. Koharu looked inside to see Alice smiling happily at her. Koharu smiled back and climbed into the car. She buckled as Alice drove away from the hotel at deadly speeds.
"Alice-hime," Koharu said, turning to the other girl. She gasped when she saw that the girl beside her wasn't Alice, but ChiChi.
"I'm sorry to have to trick you like this, hime-sama," ChiChi said in a sarcastic tone. From out of the corner of her eye Koharu saw Akira lean forward from the shadows of the car. "But Tono-sama wished to see you again."
"G-Grandpa?" Koharu gasped, not seeing Akira's hand reach behind her. The male vampire placed a cloth over her mouth and nose, causing her to pass out from the chemicals they had placed on it.
Oh my god, Koharu got kidnapped! Only sad part is that there will probably only be 2 or 3 more chapters left, depending on how quickly I want the Cullens, Host Club, Veddettes, and wolves to find Koharu.
