Attention All Hosts!

Chapter 52: Watching the Strange Happenings of Another Day

"Hey Haruhi," I said when I walked into the club room. She looked to me and smiled.

"Hey Kyon. Where's Kyo?"

"He's with Renge. They're having the 'I love you more' fight. I couldn't stay. It was driving me nuts."

"So that Nathaniel guy left for America yesterday, right?"

"Yeah. I'm surprised his Japanese was so good. That doesn't matter though. What does matter is that I still have his curse on me and I need to get rid of it. Would you happen to know where the black magic club is?"

"No. It just suddenly appears sometimes."

"In that case, I'm going to feel that wall for a door."

"That would just look weird."

"I don't care. It might be the only way to find the black magic club and I need to speak with the best black magic user in existence. I'm pretty sure that Nekozawa-sempai fits that profile."

"He actually graduated with Honey-sempai and Mori-sempai. I don't know why he's still here."

"Maybe he doesn't have anyone to pass his club onto."

"How right you are," a voice said in my ear. I stayed still for a moment before standing up and moving to the other side of the table so I could actually see Nekozawa.

"Hi there Nekozawa-sempai. I need your help."

"What do you need? Is it a curse doll?"

"I need help removing a curse someone placed on me."

"Why don't you come with me to my club and we can discuss this matter in private. We can then fix your problem if it is possible."

"You talk so formally. Lead the way. I'll follow."

"Where will you be following him to?" Kyoya asked from behind me.

"I'm getting the curse removed in case he comes back. He says that he knows where I am as a part of the curse, but that particular curse doesn't have the feature. Someone told him where I am. That's the only way he could find me." I didn't turn to face Kyoya. I knew I couldn't look at him and stay normal. I had tried it and I couldn't talk until he left the room. I was in stupid love.

"Be back by the time club activities start."

"I'll try. Removing curses is actually very difficult and I need a black magic master to do it. Nekozawa-sempai is the only one that can do it. I'm sure I'll be back in time though. He is extremely skilled at what he does. So I'll go do that then. Bye Kyoya-sempai!" Nekozawa led the way to the magical door that randomly appeared and we both went inside. Once inside, we started.


Haruhi's point-of-view

Kyon was acting strangely with Kyoya-sempai. She wasn't as relaxed as she had been before then. That meant that either she realized her feelings, or she realized his feelings. Either way, it made her less relaxed and easy to tease. Kyoya-sempai watched her disappear with a gaze I couldn't identify. He then turned to me and nodded curtly.

"Haruhi."

"Yes Kyoya-sempai?"

"Tell me something."

"What is it?"

"Is Hikaru in love with Kyon?"

"I don't think so. I'm sure he would make it obvious if he were in love with someone."

"What about Nekozawa-sempai?"

"He actually might be. You can't stop him from being alone with Kyon right now. The door disappeared again."

"What makes you think that it matters to me?"

"I know that you're in love with her. You don't hide it that well."

"No one else is to know."

"Everyone knows except Kyon herself. She might even know now. I'm not sure though. I'll figure out when she comes back."

"If she doesn't know, I would like to keep it that way until I decide how best to tell her."

"Don't worry. I'll just tease her like I always do and if she starts to freak out more than normal, she knows. If she doesn't, you're safe. You should tell her though."

"Haruhi. Do not interfere in my love life." He sent me a look that made me decide to obey.

"Of course I won't. I'll leave it up to you and Kyon. Have fun you two."

"Keep it like that." He left me alone at the table. I was soon mauled by an overjoyed Tamaki-sempai. I had a crush on him at the beginning of the year, but this was becoming too much.

"Haruhi! I found one of my beautiful daughters! Where is my other one?" He shouted in my ear. I scowled.

"Get off. Kyon is in the black magic club." That made him let go immediately. He ran to the wall and started to not only pound on the wall, but also scratch and yell. "It won't work. She's getting the curse removed."

"I don't get why she needs the help of such an evil and scary person to do it!"

"She said that he is the only one that can remove such a high level curse. If you think that you can remove it, I'm sure she would be more than happy to come out and let you give it a shot."

"Mommy! Haruhi is making snide comments again!"

"It's ok Daddy," Kyoya-sempai replied distractedly. He was scribbling away in his black book. That meant that he heard Tamaki-sempai. He just didn't care.

"Hey Haruhi. I just came over to see how you're doing." I looked at Hikaru and smiled.

"I'm doing great."

"That's good." He took a long pause. "Do you want to go out for fancy tuna sometime? I promise we'll actually do it this time, unlike every other time we brought it up." I snickered at his comment and was about to answer when we were interrupted by Tamaki-sempai shouting that I'm too young to date.

"Tamaki-sempai! It's not a date! Hikaru and I are just going to go eat fancy tuna! I'll finally be able to taste it. I'm so excited. So when and where should we meet?"

"I'll call you about that. We are still in each other's top five."

"Yeah. In my top five I have you, Kaoru, Kyo, Kyon, and my dad." Tamaki-sempai did his one man slow motion fall. I was still trying to figure out how he could do that.

"Great. I'll call you later then."

"Yeah. I'll wait for it." Hikaru smiled and walked back over to Kaoru. Kyo walked in the room with a giant smile on his face.

"Hello everyone," he said happily.

"Hi Kyo. How'd the argument of love go with Renge?"

"We decided I should come here. We're not done yet. We'll finish it later. Where's Kyon?"

"She's getting the curse removed."

"That's good. She can finally kick that guy's ass."

"I thought your mom was all for Kyon talking to a Nathaniel. Is it the same guy?"

"Yeah. We decided that we should keep the curse a secret from everyone. So our mom doesn't know. It's better that way." I was about to reply when Kyon screamed from the black magic club room. It was followed by a slap and her coming out very angrily.

"I don't care if that is the only way! The answer is no! I am not going to deal with that!"

"I only had to do it the once. Now I just need to say an incantation and the curse will be gone."

"Say it now! I am not going back in there!"

"Fine." Nekozawa said some weird stuff then went inside the room and closed the door with a slam.

"What happened?" I asked her. She sat next to me with a scowl.

"That damn black magic user kissed me."

"Everyone out. I need to comfort Kyon." All the guys looked over at me. "I mean now. I need to comfort her. That was a very traumatic incident for her." Everyone left after a moment of thought. The door closed quietly behind them.

"I am very upset right now."

"I know. You just wish it were Kyoya-sempai that kissed you instead of Nekozawa-sempai." Kyon turned an even darker shade of red than the day that Nathaniel guy appeared outside the building.

"SHHHHHHHH! He'll hear you. The fact that I would have preferred him over Nekozawa-sempai by a lot doesn't mean that he should know."

"You like him. You love him."

"Stop it. What if he hears you?"

"He won't hear me. Relax."

"What if he does? I can't deal with it if it happens! Haruhi! This is a very serious matter! Help me out here," she shouted as loud as she could while shaking me back and forth by the hold she had on my shoulders.

"Alright. I'll stop. We can have a sleepover this weekend and talk about it then. She stopped shaking me and released her hold.

"Fine. I'll force myself to wait."

"Kyon."

"Yes?"

"Today's Friday. When I get home, I'll talk to my dad and then I'll call you with his answer. If it's yes, you talk to your mom and come over. If it's no, we can try for your place or give it up."

"You're right. I just need to calm down."

"That's more like it."

"It's just weird that this is happening to me. It's new and different and totally perfect. "

"You seem happy about it now."

"Have you ever fallen in love with the most amazing guy on the planet?" she asked me softly with a gently smile.

"If that guy is Kyoya-sempai, then no. I'm glad you fell in love though. You seem happier now."

"Of course I am. It's Kyoya."

"I'm not sure why that makes you so happy."

"It just does." Her voice was still soft and her blush was wild and spread all over her face and neck. "He's amazing like that.

"Let's let the guys in."

"Wait! Give me a minute to stop this problem." She pointed to her face.

"You know that you're blushing for once. It's a miracle."

"But Tamaki! We want to be inside!"

"I want to be able to talk to Kyo and Kyon together!"

"I want to talk to Haruhi!"

"Me too!"

"I want to see Kyon acting like he did the other day! It was so cute!" Kyon smiled normally and nodded.

"Go ahead and let them in. I'll just make up some story for why I'm blushing when the girls ask." I went over to the door.

"Are you ready?" I called back loudly. The commotion outside stopped.

"I guess I am! Thanks for the pep talk! I feel better about that incident now! It's still really embarrassing though!"

"You're welcome! I'm going to open the door now!" I saw her take a deep breath.

"Do it!" I threw open the doors and steeped to the side. The girls flooded in. A large group ran over to Kyon. The guys slowly walked in.

"Why is Kyon so red?" Kyo asked me.

"I talked to her about her crush," I whispered to him. He nodded in acknowledgement and went to join Kyon who was talking about why she was blushing. She got the girl to squeal twice as loud as normal. Kyoya-sempai moved to stand beside me.

"Haruhi. Why is Kyon blushing so darkly?"

"I talked to her about life and the kiss she just experienced and first kisses. Apparently, you're her first kiss." He cleared his throat.

"Does she know about my feelings?"

"No. You're lucky. You make it way too obvious. It's a good thing Kyon wouldn't know unless you flat out told her. Good luck finding the perfect time." I smiled and went over to a table that soon had my customers sitting there. Kyon's blush returned every time she glanced at Kyoya-sempai and she would turn really shy. I could overhear the repeated conversation from my place.

"Kyon. You're blushing again."

"Oh. A-am I? Th-that's strange. I wonder why I would blush again. Heh heh." She had a very nervous laugh after her other words.

"You must be thinking about that kiss."

"That's so cute!"

"I guess I am." Squealing followed. It happened that exact way every time until the last time.

"You must be thinking about that kiss."

"That's so cute!"

"I guess I am." A girl gasped.

"I saw who you looked at! I know who it was!" Kyon's head shot up from its lowered position.

"Please not so loud!"

"But it's so cute!"

"I'll tell you all about the kiss if you promise you won't let anyone hear about it. This stays between us."

"We promise."

"Alright. So it wasn't with Kyoya-sempai. I wish it was though. I had a curse placed on me in America. Someone was jealous of my good grades and he put a curse on me. I decided I needed to get it removed so I asked the president of the black magic club for help. He is the only member of his club. That meant that we were the only ones that were in there. He kissed me as a start to the removal process and when I came out here in a rage, he said the incantation to remove it and went back in. I was talking to Haruhi about the horrible experience and then she brought up the idea of imagining it as someone else and I thought really hard about it. I finally settled on who I actually wanted to kiss. That would be Kyoya-sempai. I keep looking at him because I imagine kissing him and how great it would be." She blushed darkly, making all the girls squeal even louder than before. My customers had even listened to her story with interest so they were squealing too. I didn't remember hearing the girls ever squeal that loud. Kyon had really gotten them.

"That's such a sad love story!"

"I know! I feel so sorry for you Kyon!"

"Me too! It must be so hard!"

"It is. At least I get to see him every day during club activities though. It doesn't matter that it's a one-sided love. I'm just happy I get to see him every day for at least a little while."

"Kyon. Who are you talking about right now?" Kyoya asked from behind her. Her face became such a dark shade of red that I couldn't even find a name for it.

"No one! I swear! You didn't hear me talking about anyone! You didn't! You're imagining things!" I saw a slight smile tugging at this face.

"I heard you loud and clear. What are you hiding?"

"It's nothing! I promise!"

"For some reason, I don't believe you."

"Kyo! Help me out here!"

"Kyoya-sempai. How about we go talk numbers?" Kyo stood, put his arm around Kyoya-sempai's shoulders, and led him away from the table.

"Oh Kyon. That's so sad!"

"He didn't even notice your blush."

"I'm happy he didn't. That would be so embarrassing. I feel better when he doesn't know. Not knowing about my feelings is better than knowing about them and rejecting me because he doesn't feel the same way."

"That is true."

"What if he does feel the same way?"

"You should let him know, just in case he does."

"I will one day. I think that I'll make sure it's perfect. I'm a bit of a romantic novel lover."

"What would be perfect?"

"It would be a beautiful night with amazing stars shining in the sky and there would be fireworks. We would be outside looking up, talking to each other normally. Then he would turn to me and compliment something about me. I'd blush and tell him that I had something important to tell him. He'd smile softly and give me all of his attention. I'd tell him that I love him and he would say that he does too and then we would kiss each other deeply and lovingly. There is another perfect thing."

"That is so cute! What is the other one?"

"It would be sunset. Sunset is my favorite part of the day so I like saying this one. It would be sunset and we would be standing by some water. The reflection of the sun would be beautiful. I'd be smiling gently and then I would shift my weight ever so slightly so that our arms would be touching. He would turn to me with an obvious question in his eyes and I would tell him exactly how I felt and for how long. He would pin me with his amazing gaze and smile gently and lovingly. He would say that he felt the same way and we would kiss like the other one."

"That's so cute!"

"I know!"

"I want that to happen to me!"

"I wish that would happen between us! I can't steal you though. That wouldn't be right."

"I'm rooting for you!"

"I hope that happens to you!"

"Both of those are the most amazing things I've ever hear when it comes to expressing your feelings!"

"Why can't you love me? I want that between us! I feel that way about you!"

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok. I'll just go after Kyo instead."

"Kyon."

"Yes Kyo?"

"I heard your romantic ideas. You are too young for that and he isn't good enough for you."

"Sit by me." She patted the empty seat beside her. Kyo sat down and looked over to her. "Look, I know that you just want what's best for me, but tell me what makes him not good enough. If it's just a few things with you being critical, I will keep my ideas. If you have valid points, I'll get rid of the ideas. Let's face it though. Kyoya-sempai is the most amazing guy on this planet besides you."

"But a guy like me is perfect. He would understand you better than you understand yourself. He would be able to instantly comfort you with whatever happens. He would appreciate you as much as you appreciate him. He would love you unconditionally. He would share interests with you and he would be the best match to your personality possible besides a clone of yourself." Kyon smiled and laughed at Kyo.

"Fine. You are right, in a way. But you are implying that we should be together."

"That's so cute!" The girls squealed, giving Kyo and Kyon a chance to change the subject. They did it with skill and the girls didn't even seem to notice. My customers did and they returned their attention to me for more hosting. It was a fun day in the end. Kyon finally realized her feelings. It was a miracle. I thought that her reactions to Kyoya-sempai being close would tip him off. He didn't seem to notice though. It would give Kyon a chance to make her ideas work though.

Me- That's it for this chapter. It was longer and different from my original plan. Oh well. It works!

Kyon- Why did you keep putting him behind me?

Me- It's fun to put people behind you. It's even more fun when the person is Kyoya and you know that you love him.

Kyo- You're cruel to my poor sister.

Me- I'm sorry. I can't help it though.

Kyon- It's fine. I know you care.

Me- I'm glad you do. Disclaimer time!

Hikaru- Amii doesn't own us.

Kaoru- Or OHSHC.

Haruhi- She only owns Kyo and Kyon.

Tamaki- Join us next chapter!
