Gah. I hate when that happens
Any who, I hope you guys love the chapter! :D
LOSGAP =D

"Wow. I feel like royalty." I grinned, adjusting the white construction helmet on my head.
"There'll be plenty more of these sorts of things." Kyoya said, completely unfazed. "Oh come on, you could get a little bit excited!"
"…"
"You can be boring, you know that?"
"Perhaps." Kyoya replied, pushing his glasses up. "You look pretty hot in that helmet by the way." I added and that brought a smile to him. "Thank you." He said and I tipped my head up to him, looking up at him expectantly. He sighed and lowered his head to kiss my forehead. "There. Are you happy?"
"Barely." I pouted. Kyoya gave me an annoyed look. "We don't have time for this."
"You can make time for me." I crossed my arms and looked up at him stubbornly. Realizing he wasn't going to do anything I stood on my tip-toes and kissed him myself, pulling him close to me and grinning happily as I leaned back.
"OK. Now I'm good."
OOO
"How'd it go?" Kita asked, looking up when Miki walked in the door. I raised an eyebrow when I noticed she was still wearing a construction helmet.
"Good! Though all we got to do was stand there while his dad cut the ribbon to the new children's wing at the hospital." She pouted.
"I wouldn't trust you with scissors either." Kita remarked and Miki scowled at her. "That reminds me- afterwards we had a big fancy dinner, and there was this huge sparkly cake- and they wouldn't let anyone eat it!"
I gasped in horror. "That's awful!"
"I know! Kyoya had to practically handcuff me to the chair so I didn't try and eat it." She sulked, sitting down in a corner with a cloud of woe surrounding her head.
"Wow, that's depressing." Kita said dryly. "It is." I nodded. "Well, at least she didn't have any- I had the straight jacket re-fitted and everything." Kita said, holding up said jacket. Miki looked up hopefully. "Is it the pink one with the fleece?"
"The one and only."
"Yay! Now I can spend hours hugging myself in pink, fuzzy comfort!" Miki squealed happily. "Kita said I'm too big for mine." I pouted as Miki struggled into hers.
"I never said that. I said 'Alex, I'm getting tired of tying you up whenever you get your hands on caffeine'."
"Speaking of which, I bought some of that instant coffee you hate!" I cried, and Kita's eyes widened. "Sora… don't…" She growled and I cackled evilly, dragging the restrained but happy Miki to the kitchen.
OOO
"Ugh. What happened?" Miki groaned, opening her eyes sleepily.
"…I don't know. I blacked out the second I picked up the mug." I replied truthfully. "You two are going to clean this up tomorrow." Kita said, hoisting the bull whip she had pulled out of nowhere on her shoulder.
Beside me, Miki was struggling vehemently. "Kita, you know I love the jacket but did you really have to suspend us upside down from the ceiling?"
"Yes." Kita replied calmly. I wriggled around in my jacket. "You know, wouldn't it be really awkward if someone walked in and saw this?" I asked curiously just as there was a knock at the door.
We all turned as Tamaki poked his head in. "Hi! You left your… backpack…"
"…"
"…well, here you go! Ha ha ha…" Tamaki was gone like a shot, dropping my bag at the door. "Well, that was awkward." Miki commented.
OOO
Tamaki didn't say anything about the awkwardness of last night, though he often cast fearful, wondering looks in Kita's direction.
"Well, I'm bored out of my mind." Miki called from the table she and Hunny were at, looking at some sort of cake catalog.
"Me too." I replied.
"BORED!"
"BORED!"
"Don't start." Kita groaned. "The last time you did that we ended up meeting Chika and Satoshi." She pointed out.
"Relax, it's not like we can summon people by doing that." I snorted. Just then the doors flung wide open and we all turned, I grinning. "OK, just so you know I totally did that."
But then we saw who was at the door.
"Welcome to the Host Club sir!" Tamaki cried, leaping up to his feet.
I dove behind the couch, not out of free will, but because Kita was dragging me. "Stay down!" She hissed, peeking around the edge of the couch.
"I'm looking for Alena and Alexis?" We both cringed at the familiar voice.
"Who?" The twins asked in surprise. "I'm sorry sir, but we don't know who you're talking about." Tamaki said, sounding confused.
Oh no…
"Wait." I heard Miki say. "You're Larry!"
OOO
I frowned over at this tall man, realizing he must be "Larry the Loon" that Sora had said was the main reason they had come to Japan.
"I'm afraid they aren't here Larry." I said, crossing my arms. He raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really? I could have sworn I just saw them dive behind the couch."
He took a step towards the couch but Mori stepped in front of him, blocking his way, a dark aura emanating from him.
Larry frowned up at him. "Out of the way please."
Mori stared down at him silently, and I cheered inwardly for him.
I could see Kita out of the corner of my eye practically shoving Sora out the door, though Sora was hurrying along willingly. Unfortunately I wasn't the only one who noticed them.
"Alena! Alexis! It's me! I'm right here!" Larry called, waving excitedly. Kita froze in mid-step, turning around with a dangerous expression in her eyes.
"Stay away from us." She warned him, reaching behind her and pulling out her Shinai. "Why honeybunch?" Larry frowned, tilting his head. That dude was seriously messed up.
"Honeybunch?" Tamaki and the twins echoed, gawking at him. "Yup! They both are my fiancés- guess they're playing hard to get." He grinned and I twitched.
"You need help." I shook my head in disgust. I could see why Sora and Kita were willing to fly to another county to get away from this nut job.
"Kyoya," I hissed, coming up behind him. He was still typing as though nothing was happening. "Do something!"
"Already on it." Kyoya replied, not glancing up. "Trust me."
"I do." I replied honestly, wrapping an arm around him as I looked over to where Sora, Kita and Larry were facing off. I tightened my hold on him, drawing from his calm, quiet strength.
"I'm sorry, I think I heard you wrong." Tamaki laughed, sticking a finger in his ear. "I could have sworn I just heard you say you were marrying Sora and Kita…?"
"I don't know who Sora and Kita are, but I'm marrying those two right there." Larry said, pointing towards Kita and Sora, staring at him wide-eyed.
Hmm. For some reason Larry reminds me of Barry the Chopper… well, that can't be good.
"Why the heck would you want to marry either of them?" One of the twins asked and I gave them a death glare. "Kyoya, can I please kill them?"
"I'd rather you didn't get blood on the carpet." Kyoya replied, typing away. I couldn't help but wonder what his plan was.
Larry obviously wasn't listening though. "I remember the night I asked them to marry me." He sighed dreamily. "Oh, it was magical. A candle lit dinner, both of them radiant in the flickering light…"
"When did this happen?" Sora asked, speaking up for the first time.
Oh great, he's delusional too.
"Yeah, Larry I don't think any of that actually happened." Kita said, frowning at Larry with a surprisingly pitying look in her eyes. "Larry, we never agreed to anything."
"I don't think they did either." Tamaki said, folding his hands behind his back. "Sora and Kita don't strike me as the type to marry early."
"Oh, but they are." Larry said happily. "So, who's your favorite?" One of the twins piped up and I whirled and stared at them, making them both shrink back in their chairs.
"Well, considering that the only one I've slept with yet is Alexis…"
Everything seemed to move in slow motion then as I leaped at him, roaring about how untrue that was when Kita dived forward, driving her Shinai against the side of his head as Tamaki leaped to his feet.
"Don't talk about Sora that way!" He exclaimed. He stood over Larry cradling his probably aching screwed-up head, his hair covering his eyes. "Sora is a complete lady, and I know she would never do anything like that before marriage! She is not that kind of woman!"
"Yeah, shut the heck up moron!" I shrieked, having to be partially restrained by Kyoya calmly grabbing onto the hem of my dress as I ran in place.
"Who is this Sora you keep talking about? Is Alex role playing or something?" Larry frowned from the floor and Kita swore, coming at Larry again. Mori calmly held up his hand, giving Kita a look I didn't understand, but after a moment she averted her eyes, allowing her Shinai to lower.
"Larry, just get out of here." Sora said quietly and we all turned to look at her. Sora was standing with her fists clenched, staring down at the floor, her face hidden by hair wavy hair.
"Alex, honey…" Larry stood up, holding out his hands. "You know I love you…"
Seeing that Sora wasn't going to respond, Larry turned to Kita. "Alena…" He said, a slow smile building on his face. "My darling… you will never run away from me, will you?" His hand lifted, cupping his cheek in his hand and Kita's eyes flashed.
We all jumped as Larry was suddenly tossed clean off his feet across the room, slamming into the wall and sliding down to the floor, gawking at Mori as he went to stand protectively in front of Kita.
"Do not lay your hands on Takita, pig." Mori's deep, quietly dangerous voice reverberated throughout the entire room, and I could see Larry finally look afraid.
Finally the doors flew open and I squeaked as the SWAT team came flooding in, ducking to hide behind Kyoya.
"Kyoya! Is this your brilliant plan?" I demanded, staring fearfully at the men as they separated Sora and Kita from Larry, and I blinked when I realized they were handcuffing Larry.
"Are they really going to arrest him?" I asked quietly, feeling kind of bad for Larry. He couldn't help anything wrong with his mind.
"No, they're just making sure he doesn't hurt himself or anyone else." Kyoya replied. When I didn't respond he paused in his typing, pushing up his glasses as he looked up at me. "Nothing bad will happen to him." He added more gently. "He's going to get help."
I wordlessly reached down and wrapped my arms tightly around Kyoya, burying my face in his shoulder. Kyoya put a hand on my other shoulder, not exactly holding me close but letting me know he was there.
I didn't look up as I listened to doors being shut, not wanting to see Larry being led away like some dangerous criminal- I knew he was dangerous, but it wasn't his fault.
"Make sure he gets the right help." I whispered to Kyoya, keeping my eyes shut tight. "I will." Kyoya replied and I closed my eyes tighter, wondering what Sora and Kita were thinking right now.
OOO
I couldn't watch them drag Larry off like some kind of animal- I turned away, staring at the floor as I tried to think about anything but him, and my mind landed on Tamaki standing up for me, the way his eyes flashed with fury when Larry spoke me like that.
But Tamaki and everyone are realizing now Sora and Kita aren't our actual names. I thought grimly.
What's going to happen now?
OOO
Author's Note:
Wow. That's my first cliffhanger for this story I think.
I'm evil :)
*evil laughter*
Anyway, ignore the cackling authoress- don't be angry at me though! I'll update ASAP, this chapter was just getting really long and I wanted to write a cliffhanger for once. As they say in show business, "Always leave them wanting more."
See you next time! Just don't kill me before then please. It'd be a bit hard to write then, wouldn't it?
LOSGAP =D
