Attention! 2
Chapter 52: Benten's Fantastic Enslavement and Michi's Annoying Enslavement.
Benten's POV
I was so happy Kaoru chose me to be his slave! I got to spend time with Kaoru! It was amazing! He seemed to enjoy our time too. It wasn't very far in, but it was great to me so far.
He had taken me up to a room in the house and handed me a dress. He had to go talk to Hikaru to ask if he could get the help of his twin to make sure I looked great. Hikaru agreed and had Haruhi do only he knows what while working on me with Kaoru. They chose a dress for me together and Hikaru picked out the things I should have to go with the dress.
"Thank you Hikaru."
"No problem Kaoru." I smiled at the two and the connection they shared that was showing while Hikaru left the room.
"Alright Benten, will you please put this on?"
"Of course Kaoru." I left to put on the dress and came out with a blush at the fact that it had only straps and it stopped just above my knees.
"Hikaru was right. The dress looks amazing on you."
"Th-thank you."
"I'm not sure why you're thanking me. Come over here so I can fix your hair and put make-up on you."
"Ok." I went and sat in the chair Kaoru provided. "Kaoru, I noticed that Hikaru knows fashion fairly well and that he chose the outfit. Did you just let him choose it or does he know fashion better?"
"He knows fashion better. He takes after our mom more than I do."
"Oh. Your mom is a fashion designer. Does this mean that Hikaru will take over her business?"
"Let's not talk about that Benten. Close your eyes." I snapped my eyes shut. "Not like that. Just gently close them."
"Ok. Sorry," I replied, changing how they were.
"That's much better."
I felt him brushing the make-up brush across my eyelids. I never wore make-up. It made me become noticed by more people and that was embarrassing for me. I was very shy.
Being alone with Kaoru made my heart rate speed up. It was great and, in a way, terrifying for me. I really liked him. I just wondered if the make-up he was putting on me would make him start to feel the same way. He would see me with make-up on my face and he would then decide if he liked the way I looked. I knew we had fun together, but was that enough for us to become a couple?
I felt him applying more make-up. It was silent as he worked. I wasn't going to say anything. It was obvious he wasn't either.
He gently pressed a finger to my bottom lip and opened my mouth slightly. He removed the finger and replaced it with his lips, making my eyes fly open in shock and my already racing heart to beat even faster. His eyes were closed. Mine soon fluttered closed as well and I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck. He stood and pulled me up, breaking the kiss until I was standing in front of him. He then placed his lips back on mine. It was amazing for me. I was in paradise. Kaoru Hitachiin was kissing me! It was amazing and I knew I was blushing from it. Eventually, we both pulled away and he gently hugged me.
"I've had feelings for you for a while Benten. Haruhi and Kyon explained the differences they saw between Hikaru and me to you once and then you were able to tell us apart. You may be a quiet person, but I know that behind your shy exterior is a nice, smart, funny, and fun loving girl who is too worried about how others will react to her to say what she thinks." I blushed and smiled while clutching Kaoru to me and looking down to avoid his gaze.
"You know me pretty well Kaoru. I didn't know you were so observant. They told me the differences twice though." He let out a gentle laugh.
"I just told you how I feel and the response I get is that I'm observant and I was wrong about one thing I said. It doesn't affect how I feel about you that they had to tell you twice. I was so nervous to tell you and now that I finally did, I may have ruined everything." I pulled away and looked up at him in a panic.
"No! I like you too Kaoru! A lot! I have for a while! A long while!" He smiled and let out another gentle laugh before kissing me again.
"I'm glad. We have to prepare for a party now."
"Is that what you were doing before?"
"Yes. I wanted to make you look even more irresistible than usual." I smiled and giggled a bit.
"You're so sweet Kaoru."
Michi's POV
"Will you just shut up?" I snapped.
"I would if they would just listen to me," Mitsu shot back. We didn't know each other and we were already at odds.
"Let me handle it."
"I got it. No need to worry yourself."
"Let me do it!" I pushed him aside and walked over to the guys he was talking to. "I'm so sorry for the way he was acting. It was terribly rude of him to act that way. I can't imagine why he would talk like that to two gorgeous guys like you." I winked. Just like that, I had them wrapped around my finger.
"How can we help you?"
"I know that it's invitation only, but that idiot forgot our invitations. We are very good friends with Hikaru and Haruhi. I promise you that. We need to get inside so we can celebrate with them. It would make my day if you let us in." I gave a little blush for show.
"I think I can make an exception for you. Go on in."
"Thanks boys." I winked and walked inside, pulling Mitsu by his shirt.
"How did you do that?" he asked once we were inside.
"I'm a hostess. I have to know how to charm boys."
"So? You were like a totally different person in less than ten seconds."
"I can act very well. Mahalyn can too. She should be arriving with Tamaki soon. She wanted to have dinner with him first."
"You care about your sister don't you?"
"Of course I do. I may not act like it, but I am the caring older sister that doesn't want anyone to touch her little sister. It's just the way I am."
"I can understand that. I have a sister too."
He annoyed me. He really did. I hated to be annoyed. At the same time, it might not have been that bad to talk to the new host and get to know him even though he was graduating before me.
Me- I made Benten's longer than I meant to. Oh well. It's cute!
Benten- Don't embarrass me.
Me- Sorry. I just can't help it.
Michi- Congratulations!
Benten- Please stop.
Kaoru- Leave Benten alone.
Me- Sorry. Disclaimer time!
