Also, what's up with fanfic's new format...i was perfectly content with it's old format :/ now i'm pissed...blehhhhhhhhh
kayyyy back to the story
(Wherever we left off)
Ash pushed Kaoru away in shock,"You kissed me!"
"Nuh-uh. You kissed me!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Shut up."
"So you admit it."
"I did not kiss you!"
Jane looked at the both of them,"Well, one of you kissed the other. Let's just say it was a head collision and go back to sleep." She yawned while putting her head on a drowsy Kyouya.
"I second that," Zee shifted her feet to adjust the sleeping Kay-Kay.
Mori, who was mimicking his girlfriend's actions with his own cousin, said"Ah-"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence." Zee held up a finger, threateningly.
"Too late."
"Loser."
Tamaki stared at both Ash and Kaoru,"I'm so confused." He shrugged and went back upstairs,"C'mon Haruhi..we have a long day tomorrow." She followed him silently. (NO THEY DID NOT DO ANY FUNNY BUSINESS!)
"I'm down with that," Zee and Mori filed up the stairs behind them.
Kyouya woke Jane up but she shook her head,"Carry me."
Kyouya groaned and lifted her up bridal-style,"You're. So. Heavy."
"Shut up!"
"Not my fault," he said, pretending to drop her.
"Kyou-YA! Don't do tha-"she fell back to sleep.
Kyouya glared at the sleeping girl in his arms,"You're not the only tired one you know."
"Hm."
Kaoru and Ash stood there facing each other, glaring.
"What just.." Kaoru asked.
"Head collision. Forget about it." Ash blushed, looking down. *CONFESSION TIME ^_^"* (because no story is complete without the drama)..
"Goddamnit Ash! I can't forget about it! I dream about it every night when I'm sleeping. I dream about you every night. I can't forget about you, Ash. And it's hard," he kicked the wall,"I like you. But, you lied to me! I would've waited, Ash. Maybe even gotten on your parents good side. And I never go this far for a girl I like..I never go for a girl I like. But not everything plays according to your perfect little plan, Ash. And I wish things would have played out differently. I love how when you hugged me, I could feel my heart pound just a little faster. I loved..I love saying your name. And..I think I loved you. But, I don't know Ash. I can't be with a liar..." Kaoru brushed past her.
Ash stared at him sadly,"Well that sucks. You know why I lied? It's because when I'm around you, I'm irrational. I don't think straight and I don't think right. Kaoru, I miss you every day, all the time. And, if I could go back in time, I would. You know when I came here, I thought..I'll just be the obnoxious nerd girl who no one talks to. But then I met you and I got kicked out of school because of you, which was a total misunderstanding and then we started dating and I thought maybe Japan won't be so bad. But then I felt like I was cheating you and I told you the truth and after that, you hated me. But you know what, Kaoru? I still feel like I'm cheating you. Because I love you. And," Ash took a deep breath,"I'm sorry."
Ash and Kaoru stood back to back. The whole house silent...
"Oh my god. Just kiss and make up already. Let. Us. SLEEP!" Zee yelled.
Ash smiled softly,"I better go."
"Y-yeah me too."
(Next morning)
Jane woke up startled,"This is not my ro-OH MY GOD!" 'This is Kyouya's room! I'm in Kyouya's bed...OH MY GOD! Kyouya is right next to me! Sleeping..half naked...Femi-boner...No, I can't have a femi-boner! This is Kyouya, the super hot guy who I might end up marrying and sleeping next to everyday. Lucky me! And we might do what married people do..OH MY GOD! No, stop it brain! I can't like this guy. Not if he's not into me...Well, I guess I could try again, snuggling up against him would be nice...SHIT! No, this is bad. Mixed emotions are bad. Stupid, stupid, stupid hormones!' She then sunk deeper into the covers and snuggled in a little closer with Kyouya, tangling their legs, trying to get warm.
He groaned,"What the-" Kyouya looked down to see Jane "sleeping" angelically,"Jane move."
"Hm." She fluttered her eyes open and stared at him,"Why am I in your room? You couldn't resist?" She pretended to stretch, molding into him. He shifted uncomfortably.
"Hahaha no. You were heavy and I was tired. Now, get off of me." He ordered again.
"No." She snuggled closer.
Kyouya rolled his eyes,"Now!"
"No."
"Jane Kingston, so help me god that I don't-"
"-You don't what?" Jane asked sexily, positioning herself to hover over him.
"I don't do something, I'll regret," He said flipping them over.
"But...I won't regret anything."
"Yes you will."
"Just admit you love me!"
"Okay..." he paused,"After the weekend's over."
Jane pouted, wrapping her legs around him,"If I screamed, this would be a really compromising position."
"Well..."Kyouya bent down and kissed her,"Still wanna scream?"
"I'm not sure," she blushed.
"It's funny..you're face is the same color as your hair."
Jane pouted,"Wha? Shut up!" She rolled from underneath him, "And since it's nothing for me to say it...I love you Kyo."
"Hm...Love ya..." Kyouya eyes widened in shock,"ks"
"Did you just say what I think you just said."
"What do you think I just said?"
"You said you love me..." Jane answered.
"I said I love yahks." Kyouya argued.
"What are yahks?" Jane asked.
"Yaks with an accent," Kyouya smirked,"You're not getting rid of me that quickly."
Jane blew a strand of hair out of her face. "I hate you." She said leaving the room, slamming the door behind her.
(Matchmaker meeting)
"Rina." Jane called her,"Let's get you all dolled up hun."
"I thought we were trying not to make him like me." Rina said confused.
The red-haired 2nd-year rolled her eyes,"Dressing pretty and acting like a pig is the perfect turn-off combo because he'll think your pretty but if you are a slob, he will not want to marry you. It's like a good first impression destroyed by your "real" personality."
Ash looked at Rina,"Have you ever even met the guy before?"
"What? Yes! I just don't want to be tied down so young." Rina glared,"I don't need to justify myself to you guys."
"You're asking for our help aren't you?" Chris asked.
"Yeah-"
"-So you kinda do."
"Wait Jane," Haruhi pulled her to the side,"I thought we were trying to get Rina to like her fiance."
Jane whispered back,"We are, she just doesn't know that."
"So how does making her act like a pig-"
"-good point..."Jane stopped whispering.."Change of plans. You will not act like a pig."
"Wait. What?"
Kay-Kay bounced next to Rina on the bed,"Why don't you like this guy, Rina?"
"When we were younger, he used to be so mean to me. He'd always pull my hair and push me in the mud and tease me. Now we have to get married and I don't want to!" Rina said bitterly.
Ash and Chris grinned,"Hun, listen. Have you ever thought that maybe he was mean to you because you were pretty and he had a crush on you?"
Rina shook her head, blushing,"Yeah right. I'm not pretty."
"Oh my god,"Zee got up,"You've gotta get a better self-esteem. If you don't feel good about yourself, people will always pick on you. You are beautiful. Harness the beauty."
"But.."
"No buts! You have hair to die for. You're eyes are beautiful. If you styled it, your hair, I mean. And wore contacts, you'd be set! And hello honey, I want to yank your nose off...seriously, Chris, isn't her nose like absolutely perfect?"
"Hell yeah." Chris agreed.
"Well, when you put it like that..."
Kay-Kay stood up,"You know what I think? I think that you don't want to marry this guy because you're worried that he doesn't actually like you..because I bet you this. You like him."
"I-I do not!" Rina glared.
"Then you shouldn't care whether you're pretty enough for him. If you don't like him, you wouldn't be so mad that he teased you were growing up. If you don't like him, you wouldn't be bothered if you had to marry him..because you honestly knew it was coming." Kay-Kay countered.
"That's true."
Kay-Kay's eyes sparkled,"So you do like him."
"...Yes."
"Knew it!" She sang,"Then why aren't you happy?"
Haruhi rolled her eyes,"Did you not hear her. She doesn't want him to marry her if he really doesn't like her.."
"Why?"
Ash thumped Kay-Kay on her head,"Because that's awkward."
"As awkward as you and Kaoru?"
Ash smiled sourly,"Yes, exactly that awkward."
Jane growled suddenly,"You know what bugs me. Kyouya almost said he loves me, but he caught himself and said he love yahks...What are those?"
Chris rolled her eyes,"They're yaks with accents."
"You were eavesdropping?" Jane raised an eyebrow.
Chris shook her head,"I'm the one that taught it to him!"
"I hate you.." Jane smiled.
"Um guys," Zee shook uncomfortably, moments later.
"Yeah what's up," the girls looked up at her from their work on Rina.
Zee looked around,"I think I'm gonna tell Mori."
"What do you mean you're gonna tell Mori?" Kay-Kay yelled,"Are you an idiot. Do you want to hurt more people when-"
Kay-Kay stopped yelling and looked at Zee,"You never told any of your old boyfriends. Why now?"
"That's because I think I love him."
Chris, Ash and Jane looked at each other,"Well that could be a problem."
Kay-Kay rolled her eyes,"Do you really want to."
Zee nodded,"And after I tell him..I'm gonna tell the hosts."
Ash rolled her eyes,"Do you really trust them?"
"Yes I do!" Zee said, defensively.
Chris shot a look at Ash,"Then we support you Zee."
"Yeah..I guess so." Ash said, looking down. Ash shook her head,"Bleh...half of them shouldn't be counted as boys anyway."
Rina looked back and forth between the girls, awkwardly,"Um."
"Right! Sorry!" Zee clapped her hands,"Let's get working."
(Outside)
Rina walked outside nervously. Her golden brown hair had been placed delicately into managed curls and her golden eyes were shown off subtly with bronze eye shadow and black eyeliner. The strapless, flower printed romper with a sash that gave her a little 'oomph' as Chris had called it. She delicately placed her feet into black studded gladiators and wore silver hoops.
Chris and Ash stood up, clapping.
Kay-Kay squealed,"Oh my gosh! You look so cute!"
Ash thumped her on the head,"She doesn't look cute-"
"-she looks hot," Chris finished, giving Rina a wolf whistle.
Haruhi rolled her eyes,"Did they boost your self esteem enough for your date?"
Rina nodded, not speaking.
The hosts stared in awe.
Kyouya grabbed his big black book of wonder,"Is that...that's 3rd year, Rina Mizu."
Kaoru stared,"Wow. How did-"
"-that happen?" Hikaru finished.
"It worked because of yours truly," Jane grinned, appearing out of nowhere,"Don't look so surprised. Oh and Rina!"
"Yeah," her head snapped up.
Jane walked over and held out her hand,"Ahem."
"Oh right," Rina handed her 4,000 yen.
"Are you sure you'll be alright on your date. You don't want any help," Ash asked, eyebrows shooting upwards.
"I'm positive. So it'll be at the boardwalk at 3:30."
"Yup. Bye! Thanks for the money."
Zee rolled her eyes,"Only you would care about the money."
Jane grinned,"Right?"
"Don't seem so proud about it." Kay-Kay looked annoyed.
Jane smirked,"It's in my blood, Kakes."
"Bull-"
"-shit." Chris grinned.
"I like money because I like the sound it makes when you swish it. Listen!" Jane flipped the money.
"Oh my god! That's a beautiful sound,"Chris said sarcastically.
Jane shook her head,"Shut up or I will hurt you."
"I'm not sc-Okay, I kind of am." Chris backed away.
"Hm." Jane winked at her.
(Back in the room)
Rena walked in,"So, I couldn't find Rena."
Jane looked confused,"You are Rena."
"No..I'm her twin, Suki."
"No, you are Rena. You don't have a twin." Jane said, twitching.
"No, you see me? I'm wearing a dress. I'm Suki. Rena doesn't wear dresses."
"You're fucking bipolar that's what you are,"Jane yelled.
Zee shook Jane,"Calm down, hun."
"But..."
"Relax."
Ash looked around,"Hey guys, where's Rena slash Suki?"
The door opened again,"Hey guys, sorry I'm late. I couldn't find your room." Rena entered again.
"That's great. That's just wonderful. Sit. DOWN!" Jane yelled.
"Ooh. She's maaaaad." Rena sang.
Chris smirked,"So, you want you're fiance to like you?"
"He likes me..he just thinks I'm weird."
"Why?" Ash asked.
"Beats me. He said I was bipolar, but I'm not. I really have a twin sister!" Rena nodded, her blue hair bobbing up and down.
Haruhi whispered to Jane,"Aren't your parents shrinks?"
"Yeah." Jane whispered back.
Zee slapped her,"Fix her!"
"Fine..." Jane got up,"Honey, why don't you wear a dress?"
"Because Suki wears the dresses...she's the girly one. I'm the tomboy. Tomboys and girly-girls do not mix well in a girl, so I...I have a twin."
Jane nodded,"So you're not bipolar. You just want an excuse to be girly."
Rena looked down,"I was wearing a dress once and no one recognized me, so when Natsuki asked me out, I pretended to be Suki. And then I wanted him to get to know both sides of me...and now he's distant because he thinks I'm weird."
"So just be Rena." Haruhi said, shrugging.
"Tomboy Rena?" She seemed unsure.
"You're a tomboy. But you're also a girly girl. Find a balance and go with it." Haruhi said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"But..."
Zee got up,"You are Rena. You like guns and you're good at sports. But you like to dress like a Barbie doll. You wear black but you like pink. Embrace the confusing-ness that is you. Dress how you want but act like who you are! It's not that hard."
Rena stood up,"But, what if he doesn't like 'Rena'?"
"Then he's not worth it. If you don't have confidence in yourself, how do you expect others to like you?" Kay-Kay asked.
Rena thought for a moment,"But it's fun being bipolar. It throws people off and makes them think you're a freak."
"Yeah? Well the man you're gonna marry thinks you're a freak too." Ash said.
"It's time you let Suki go." Chris nodded.
"So are you ready to be remade into..."Kay-Kay paused dramatically,"Suna?"
"Who-na?" Everyone asked.
"Suki. Rena. Su. Na. Suna!" Kay-Kay said,"God, it's not that hard to figure out."
"Let's do this." Rena nodded.
Rena was stuffed into a chair as Zee did her hair, Kay-Kay did her nails, Jane did her make-up and Ash and Chris picked out her clothes.
"You ready?" Ash and Chris yelled, running outside the house. The girls walked calmly, only paces behind them.
"For what?" Tamaki asked.
"Our masterpiece. Duh. Gosh, don't be such a cleetertart." They rolled their eyes simultaneously.
Jane whipped out her camera,"And enter!"
Rena walked out blushing. She wore a semi-low cut pink summer dress that hugged her. Her midnight blue hair was straightened half-way down her back and her brown eyes popped with the thick eye-liner she wore. Flip-flops did no wrong to her dress and as she tugged on her black bracelet, the girls smiled.
Jane walked towards her,"Yes, you look ah-mazing. That'll be 4,000 yen."
"I can't afford that..." Rena said quietly.
Jane thought,"How much do you have on you?"
"I have 2,800. But I need some of it for bus fair."
"Give us 1,500." Jane flinched,"But you owe..."
Rena smiled,"I'll pay you back during school."
"So...can we help you on your date?" Chris and Ash asked, hopefully.
Rena looked at them awkwardly,"No, I'm good."
"Damn it."
Rena thought for a minute,"You guys are more of a makeover group then a matchmaker one."
Chris put her hand on Rena's shoulder,"You'd be surprised..."
"...and not the good kind," Ash finished, mimicking her sister.
"Kay then."
Chris tried again,"You sure you don't want us to-"
Zee grabbed them by the ear,"She's sure. Let's go."
Jane smirked,"Be at the boardwalk at 3:30."
(Yuki)
"Sorry we're late Yuki."
She shook her head,"No problem."
"So...What's up with you?" Chris asked bluntly.
"Pardon?"
"Well the first girl was insecure. The second girl was bipolar. And you are..."
"Single...and wanting a boy to like me. I mean..I guess I'm pretty, but I don't know how to get his attention."
"You're in our class." Ash said and her eyes brightened,"You know who you'd look good with? That Jirou kid. Oh my god..you guys would have the cutest babies and he's perfect for you!"
"You think so too?" Yuki said, grinning.
"You are normal!" Chris smirked,"high five!"
"So..we could-," Zee started.
"-make her a slut?" Ash asked.
"What? NO! I said we could set them up...like a 'oops, we just bumped into each other but we should have lunch' kind of date." Zee finished.
"And..it's on the boardwalk, in that little cafe,"Kay-Kay continued.
"And we can play all this crappy lovey-dovey music,"Ash smirked.
Jane snapped,"And in the end, we'd like have like dancing, and the spotlight would be on them dancing.."
Chris smirked deviously,"And then there's a kiss chance. Voila. The perfect 'get him to notice you' date."
"I like it...but how do we get him on the boardwalk and how do we make it seem like I'm not going on a date, but I am."
"Zee, Kay-Kay, Haruhi...find the boy. Chris, Ash, we want formal, informal." Jane said, jotting down notes.
"So like..dressy-"Chris nodded.
"-but casual." Ash finished.
"Exactly..What are you guys waiting for? MOVE MOVE MOVE!"
Kay-Kay, Zee and Haruhi ran around searching for Jirou.
"What does he look like, Haruhi,"Kay-kay asked, panting.
"He looks like that," Haruhi pointed at a boy with blonde hair, a piercing on his left ear, wearing only swim trunks,"But that can't be Miyaki-san. He wouldn't be on a Host Club trip."
Kay-Kay snickered,"Unless he's gay."
"Shut up!" Zee said annoyed.
"Wait,"Haruhi slapped Zee,"That's him!"
"Yo! Jirou! Miyaki!" Zee yelled. The boy turned around,"Boardwalk...3:30pm. Be there! Or I will cut you in half." The girls ran away, leaving the boy shocked.
Chris and Ash threw dresses at Yuki. Short, shorter, green, greener, sleeves, no sleeves and the occasional ugly.
"This." They said at the same time. They chose a strapless lavender sundress embroidered with yellow sequins.
"It'll brings out her eyes." Ash said.
"Yeah and give her a girly-er frame." Chris nodded.
"Try it on." They said together.
"Kay..."Yuki rubbed her face,"Why did you have to attack me with dresses."
They shrugged,"You should have gotten out of the way."
"Fine I'll try it on..." Yuki grumbled, walking into the bathroom.
Jane wandered the boardwalk. 'Here's the cafe.'
She entered the cafe and smiled at the scene, this would definitely work for her. She spotted the guy at the front and walked up to him,"Sir..could I talk to the owner of this place."
"He doesn't come here. But every now and again, his son comes, so if you catch him I'm sure you can talk but..."
"Who's the manager's son?"
"Do you not know that this is Cafe Ootori?" The man asked.
Jane grumbled,"Damn it."
"Kanagawa-san," Jane flinched at the familiarity of the voice,"My fiance has a request and I'm ordering that it be completed."
The man looked like he saw a ghost,"O-Ootori-san. She wanted to talk to you." He bowed his head and walked away.
"Kyouya...why am I not surprised?" Jane placed her hands on her hips in annoyance, whispering quietly,"And why are you following me? And why the hell did you tell that guy I was your fiance?"
"Well, aren't you?" Kyouya smirked.
"NO! I still have the rest of today and tomorrow." Jane glared.
Kyouya's smirk stayed in place,"Didn't you have something to ask me?"
"I had something to ask..but now I'm telling you. We're playing here today."
"It'll bring in more people. So, sure."
Jane shook her head,"We get fifty percent of profits after 3:30pm."
"No." He shook his head.
Jane smirked,"If we're getting married, you have to get used to the idea of sharing your money." She got up and left, singing fifty percent.
(room)
"You look so good!" Kay-Kay giggled,"You're so cute!"
Yuki tugged at the dress self-consciously.
"Tugging at it won't make it longer," Chris said, swatting her hand away.
"Thanks guys. So, 3:30 at the cafe place." Yuki got up and left.
Ash fell on the bed,"I'm tired."
"Well, don't be," Jane said, walking in,"We're playing. Oh and good job with Yuki."
"Thanks,"Chris said.
Zee looked at the girls,"When do you think I should tell Mori?"
"...Tonight?" Jane suggested.
"After the concert," Kay-Kay agreed.
"But he'll treat you differently, you know." Chris said.
"He won't think of you as you. Heck, it took me a while to get used to it," Ash shrugged.
"Kay. I'll tell him tonight."
WHOO! DONE...longest chapter I've ever done(:
