here you go, I'm spewing my chapters out now.
Could more people review please? I'm happy that I have loyal readers... and that I can make them wet themselves laughing at my writing :) but I kind of want new people... it only takes five minutes... if not, Saori will kill you.
And she will. She's insane. I should know.
Anyways...
Enjoy~
After all the customers left and me and Haruhi were made to tidy up, I looked over to the twins.
They were cleaning up a corner of the room because me and Haruhi made them, but as Hikaru had the brush and Kaoru had the brush pan, things weren't going so well. Kaoru kept the pan steady, but Hikaru was refusing to co-operate with him, and each time Kaoru moved it to allow Hikaru to sweep dust and whatever else into it, he'd change direction or sweep it up into Kaoru's face.
This annoyed Kaoru after a while, and I felt sorry for both of them.
"You stupid bastard!" shouted Kaoru, throwing the pan at Hikaru, hitting him squarely on the back of his head.
"OW! Kaoru you moron! That hurt!" shouted Hikaru.
"Well you shouldn't be so arrogant!" yelled Kaoru.
"Well you shouldn't be so violent!" I started walking up to them, and in that time they yelled more things at one another.
"Guys, cut it out." I stood between them, blocking their view of one another, and (for a moment) shutting them up. But I got filthy looks off them, and they both looked very annoyed.
"Just butt out Saori!" they yelled in unison, shoving me away.
I tripped over my own feet as I stumbled, and landed hard on my bum. Everyone was quiet for a moment, while I got up. I rubbed the back of my leg (and admittedly my backside... it hurt) and looked at them.
"Look what you did Kaoru!" said Hikaru, rounding back on Kaoru.
"Me? You did it!" shouted the younger twin.
I shook my head and just walked away. I officially give up. If they're gonna take it out on other people, then sod them.
"Are you okay Saori?" I turned to Haruhi and smiled.
"Sure. Anyway, what was your dad saying about coming for tea?"
"Oh, that. He was just asking if you wanted to come for dinner today."
I smiled when I saw Tamaki's head shoot up in our direction.
"I'd love to."
I was about to leave with her when I felt a hand on the back of my blazer pulling me back, I turned and saw Tamaki clinging to me, and Haruhi, giving puppy dog eyes.
"I want to come... please!"
Haruhi turned to him and shot him a nasty look.
"You're not coming."
He let go with a sigh, and we walked out.
* * *
"Yeah, I don't think it's good that they're fighting like this."
Haruhi looked into her empty cup mulling over the whole 'twin thing' as we called it.
"I've only known them a little longer, but they've never been angry with each other... it's kinda weird."
"Hmm..."
We chatted for a bit longer about the twins, then we pulled out our school books and got to helping each other with work. It turned out that she was better in math than me, but I was better at literature. We both broke even in science, but I think I was a year of two ahead with other science subjects.
I was also like a cheat sheet when it came to modern foreign languages. Since I could speak fluent Japanese, and also fluent English, I was like a dictionary brought to life.
I wrote out the sentence 'My name is Haruhi Fujioka, I live with my father in a small apartment' in English, and she copied it out. We were both laughing as we did this, and I was getting on with science when Haruhi's dad, Ranka burst through the front door.
He paused when he saw us doing work, then grinned and pulled us both into a quick hug.
"Hey girls! How's it going? Doing school work? Very good!"
He bustled away without an answer and while Haruhi did a sort of face-palm, and I just giggled.
"I love your dad, he's ace."
She smiled at me, then after a while Ranka came back in. He'd tied his hair back and changed from his dress into jeans and a T-shirt. He walked over and sat beside us looking at our work. He chuckled to himself and shook his head.
"Is this what they teach kids these days? I feel sorry for you guys."
"We feel sorry for ourselves." I muttered. He just laughed.
"So, what do you girls feel like eating? We could have takeaway if you want, as a special treat."
"Sure dad, pizza would be great."
"Mmm, Pizza..."
Haruhi and her dad looked at me funny, then both started laughing, I joined in, because honestly, drooling over pizza (no matter how long it's been since I had a half decent slice) is kinda weird, but also really funny.

I was sat with Haruhi at the lunch table, and we were discussing all the work we had 'helped' each other with (cheated for the other one) and Haruhi's language teacher had been pretty impressed. He'd asked her to read it out, but she'd refused because she was 'shy'. Nice save.
She also told me that the twins had come into school today with colourful hair. Hikaru had gone pink, and Kaoru was blue. They'd had a massive fight in the classroom, and when the teacher came in and saw, she sent them to the headmasters office. Ouch.
"The worst that could happen is they get detention." she said.
"Well I suppose so. They're not gonna kick 'em out 'cos then they lose money."
"Plus, it would look bad for both parties. Rich people 'apparently' don't like looking bad. Not in public anyway..."
"Kind of ego-centric really... and vain."
We nodded and as I tucked in to my food, home brought obviously, Haruhi started to open her lunch box.
"STOP COPYING ME! WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?" We looked up to see the twins growling at each other.
"Amazing... perfect unison even when fighting." she muttered to me.
"I know" I chuckled.
"I was wondering what all the fuss was about. I can't believe the two of you are still fighting. You're a disgrace to the host club." It was Tamaki. With Mori, Honey and Kyouya flanking him.
"Here, here." I muttered, just loud enough for Haruhi to hear me. She started to laugh quietly.
Honey went up and tried to tell them 'enough is enough' but all he did was irritate the twins when he got onto the subject of cake. Mori went in to get Honey out, just in time, because the twins looked about ready to kill.
Tamaki had made his way over to us.
"Haruhi, I didn't expect to run into you in the dining hall!" he gushed... pathetically.
"I was worried about those two, so I followed them here without even thinking. Saori came with me, right?" she looked at me.
"Yeah, we normally just bring lunch boxes, and eat in a classroom or something."
His eyes fixed on Haruhi's lunch box. He looked blank then he yelled spontaneously, making me and Haruhi nearly wet ourselves.
"I don't care if my boxed lunch is in an embarrassing heart shape, I will eat it!"
Kyouya picked up a tray of food and walked past him to our table.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, but it's evident that your fantasies are completely incoherent."
I snickered, and tucked in... again. Hikaru sat next to Haruhi and started questioning her on her food, and Kaoru sat next to me.
"You wanna switch with me, I had to order something different than Kaoru and ended up with stuff I don't really like."
He traded, and I watched bemusedly as Haruhi took a bite of the rich kids food, then went off in a trance.
"You'd think she's never been fed..." I muttered.
Tamaki had then tried to get Hikaru to trade the boxed lunch for his food, and Hikaru was blank refusing.
Kaoru huffed next to me, and started muttering to himself about wanting to sit next to Haruhi.
"Well, if I'm not good enough to sit next to, wanna swap places?" I muttered to him. He went red and apologized for being rude, then accepted the offer to switch seats. He was between Haruhi and me, and Honey came and sat next to me, Mori across from him.
"Hey Sa-Chan! What have you got for lunch?" he smiled at me.
"Um... I have a ham sandwich, an apple, and a mars bar." I muttered. I'd eaten half my sandwich, but that was it.
"Oh... what's a mars bar?"
Shock Horror! How dare he not know what a mars bar is! There is only one way to resolve the matter.
"Here;" I said, opening it "try some." I broke a bit off for him, then because Mori and Kyouya were watching with a mild interest, I broke some off for them too. Mori accepted it with a nod of his head.
"I don't really like sweets..." muttered Kyouya, looking at the chocolate with disdain.
"Don't knock it 'till you try it, and since you haven't tried mars bars before, just eat."
"Yes boss..." he muttered, I grinned.
They all tried some, and waited a moment before giving feedback.
"Well Saori, I'm glad you made me try that because now I know to steer clear of commoner sweets forever."
"Thanks Kyouya. Like I didn't know I eat crap compared to you guys."
"No problem." he smirked at me. I turned to Honey who looked deep in thought.
"It's... not as good as my other sweets... but I still want more."
"It's more-ish." said Mori.
I grinned... then felt myself lurch forward as something hit me on the back of my head. I turned to see the twins flinging any movable object at each other, then had to think fast as I saw Tamaki flying towards me. They had actually thrown Tamaki.
We both cried out as he crashed against me, then I stumbled back and fell with him on top. I felt my face heat up at an insane speed, and he went red too. Then I heard a click and tore my eyes away from the stammering Tamaki to Kyouya stood above us with a camera.
"This would look great in the next photo books." he explained when I gave him an evil look. I felt like exploding at him, it just wasn't fair! But instead I kept my composure and dignity, responding with a simple;
"You bastard. I'll kill you."
