Kidnapped! II
Dear Mother,
It has been fun and exciting ever seen the sisters transferred to our school. Recently I find it hard to be around Tamak-senpai. My hearts beat so fast and my face feels hot. Am I ill?But other that that, the Host club is still as crazy and as absurd as usual. But thanks to that, I'm looking forward to everyday. Well, you can say that it made my everyday life even more colourful?
I wonder what is going to happen today?
Barako heaved a long sigh.
Nadeshiko followed her sister.
"Nade-chan, what's wrong?" Kaoru asked out of concern.
"Kao-chan," Nadeshiko looked up, and sighed again, "We have a big problem at hand,"
"Oh gosh," Hikaru could feel his goose bumps, "What's with the 'chan'?!"
"Isn't it cute?" Kaoru replied, and looked at Nadeshiko, "Nee?~"
"Nee?~" Nadeshiko replied with a smile.
Barako sighed again, and grabbed her hair in exasperation, "We are short of club fund to improve our club facilities, and maintenance fees as well,"
Barako blushed slightly at the sudden contact.
"Hey, cut it out," Hikaru pulled her hands to stop her from making herself go bald, "Your Forever-Alone Club president shall help you!"
"Forever-Alone Club?" Nadeshiko and Kaoru asked at the same time.
"Even I feel embarrassed for the words that are coming out of your mouth," Barako face-palmed.
"The Host Club never had such a problem, hadn't we?" Kaoru asked.
"Hmmm true," Hikaru rubbed his chin.
"My Nade-chan looks so depressed," Kaoru sighed, "Nee, Hikaru. Is there anything we can do to help?"
"Hmmmm," Hikaru rubbed his chin again, thinking of ideas.
-Host Club at Work-
"Welcome~"
"I've learnt a new recipe yesterday," Haruhi was chatting to the girls as usual.
"My dad even praised me," Haruhi smiled, proud of herself.
Before the fan girls even start to squeal, an unidentified object flew past and made its way towards Haruhi.
" .HI~~~" Tamaki couldn't resist the cuteness of Haruhi and rushed to hug her without even thinking.
"Sen-senpai," Haruhi blushed, her ears all red, and struggled to escape Tamaki's hug.
"Ah," Tamaki suddenly snapped out of it and let Haruhi go. When he saw Haruhi's red face, he also started to blush.
"Hikaru," Kaoru, witnessing the whole scene, poked Hikaru, "Aren't you gonna do something about this. They are both blushing like mad-"
Kaoru stopped suddenly as he turned around to look at Hikaru. His brother wasn't listening, or even looking. His head was buried and stuck to a piece of paper; his pen hasn't stopped even for one second.
"Don't tell me you're coming up with another Anti-H2 plan?!" Kaoru jumped out o this chair.
"What is that?" Hikaru mumbled as he continued to scribble stuff onto the paper.
"Hikaru…" Kaoru didn't know how to react. What happened to his brother?
"Nee-san, did you see Kao-chan?" Nadeshiko looked around the Egoist clubroom, but to no avail.
"He should be at the Host Club, shouldn't he?" Barako replied.
"Hmmm but he just suddenly disappeared.." Nadeshiko found it weird.
Hikaru finally finished writing all his ideas. He nodded contently at the sight of his notes and scribbles. He smiled and muttered to himself, "Maybe this might make Barako smile?"
"Kaoru, take a look at my plan,"
Kaoru took the paper and read it. His face immediately changed.
"A-are you s-sure?" Kaoru asked carefully.
"Don't you want to help your 'Nade-chan'?" Hikaru smirked.
"Of course!" Kaoru rolled up his sleeves in determination, "I'll even die for her!"
-The Other Side of the Host Club room-
Kyoya adjusted his spectacles as he inspected the stocks of the companies that they had invested in, under the name of Host Club.
Kyoya nodded his head in satisfaction, seeing that he had made the right choice to invest and earn more income for the club.
Furthermore, the selling of Host Club merchandises online and the online bidding for Host Club member's used items has managed to help cover the cost of Hani's huge appetite for snacks and cakes.
Now the only thing Kyoya had to do was to inspect the market frequently and make sure that the stocks are still rising. He laid back into the chair and crossed his arms, closing his eyes and dozed off.
"Chance!" Someone was peeking at Kyoya from the start, and seized the chance when Kyoya was taking a short nap.
"Hohoho," A muffled voice laughed, "Our dear Kyoya seems to have just woke up,"
Kyoya could see two figures in front of him. Kyoya wouldn't say that he was in a good mood since he just woke up, but he decided to play along.
"Where am I?"
"You don't need to know," The other figure replied.
The two people in front of him were in black, from head to toe, and had a white mask on.
"Now, you just need to do something for us," The other spoke.
"And what if I don't?"
"You don't want to get hurt, do you?" One of the figure took out something wrapped in newspaper, pointing towards him.
"Threaten?" Kyoya could but find it funny.
Doesn't this feel familiar? Kyoya smiled and cleared his throat. It's time he shall unleash his great acting skills again.
"What do you want from me?" Kyoya gasped.
"That's the way," The two replied with great satisfication.
Kyoya kept his head down in order to not let the two see his smile.
Kyoya decided that he would play along. Simply put into words, Kyoya was bored.
"Mummy?" Tamaki sniffed as he started walking around the clubroom aimlessly, like a lost boy searching for his mummy.
"Mum.. mummy?" Tamaki continued walking around with teary eyes.
"WHERE IS MUMMY?" Tamaki snapped and tears flow like waterfall. He started panicking, running around the room while searching frantically for Kyoya.
"Yay! I love playing Hide and Seek!" Hani started to join to search, treating it as a sort of game, and Mori just follows Hani around.
"Ha.. Haruhi," Tamaki stopped in his track and stood rooted to the spot.
"What's wrong?" Haruhi walked towards Tamaki, thinking that Tamaki sounded serious for the first time.
"This.. this," Tamaki was holding onto something.
A book? Haruhi looked at it more carefully.
"MUMMY IS KIDNAPPED!" Tamaki started to activate his waterfall again, "HE WOULD NEVER GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT HIS ACCOUNTS BOOK!"
"WAHHHH! GIMME BACK MY MUMMY!" Tamaki wailed as he continued to run around the clubroom, getting all his tears and snot on Kyoya's accounts book.
Haruhi nodded her head, agreeing to Tamaki, "I wonder what happened to Kyoya-senpai?"
"What if he offended some yakuza with his glare? What if he got sold to Africa? What if a lion eats him? What if we can't even find his corpse when he is dead? THEN I WON'T BE ABLE TO THROW HIS ASHES INTO THE SEA AND THROW FLOWERS INTO THE SEA!" Tamaki fell onto the floor dramatically and sniffed.
"That's what you're thinking of?" Haruhi face-palmed herself.
"What should we do?" Barako mumbled.
"Maybe we should just wait till we earn more money?" Nadeshiko asked, still trying to find ways. The sisters were so excited to buy new furnitures, colourful papers for their formulas, and even sugar cubes with pretty patterns.
The clubroom door suddenly swung open.
"Kao-chan!" Nadeshiko ran to hug him, "Where have you been?"
"I've brought you a surprise!" Kaoru smiled in satisfication.
Hikaru strolled into the room after Kaoru and there was someone else behind him.
Both Nadeshiko and Barako averted their attention to the figure that just made his way into the clubroom.
"This room.. still as depressing as ever," Kyoya adjusted his spectacles.
"Wh-why," Nadeshiko pointed at Kyoya with shivering fingers.
"Why is he here?" Barako was shocked as well.
"Well, we figured out that Kyoya might be able to help you tw- " Hikaru replied proudly but was cut off by Barako.
"GET OUT!" Barako and Nadeshiko pushed the three of them out of the room immediately.
"Don't ever bring the devil here again!" The sister exclaimed. Fear could be heard from their voices.
"Nee-san, I guess we can wait," Nadeshiko panted and leaned against their clubroom door.
"I agree," Barako replied, still unable to get over the shock of seeing Kyoya in their clubroom.
"What's wrong with them?!" Hikaru was pissed.
"Ahahaha, I kind of expected that," Kaoru just laughed it off, as he thought of the previous experience.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going back to the Host Club," Kyoya walked away, "Thanks for help me pass my time,"
"Me too," Kaoru patted Hikaru on the back and walked back towards the Egoist Club room, "I need to go apologise to Nade-chan."
"You coming?" Kaoru asked, but there was no reply. Kaoru shrugged and made his way back.
"What's with that?" Hikaru mumbled angrily, "And I even tried to make you smile, and this is what I get?!"
"Tch!" Hikaru kicked a pebble out of frustration, "We really can't get along well, can we?!"
