Haruhi's Color
Chapter 2
Haruhi came out of the room wearing jean shorts that were quite big on her, a red and pink striped T-shirt, and red slippers.
"I leave you guys alone for a minute and you guys manage to drive me nuts!"
"Well it's not our fault. You should learn to be more respectful around guests!"
"Come on Hikaru, don't be so harsh."
"I'm not, I'm just being playful as usual."
"Could have fooled me."
"Hey! You're not one to talk Haruhi!"
The twins said in unison. She rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Ugh, jeez. You know what, how about I make you guys something to eat and then we'll see what happens. Deal?"
They all nodded their heads.
"Good. Now how about I make you some ramen?"
"Can we have cake for dessert?"
"Of course Honey-senpai. But I'm gonna have to go buy some stuff."
"Okay! Usa-chan and Takashi and I are going to have cake later! And a tea party!"
She sighed then smiled at his childishness. The twins then went in the kitchen with her and each put an arm around her as she started boiling the water.
"What is it now?"
"Huh? Oh, we just wanted to know-"
"If you would like some help in the kitchen?"
Kaoru finished the sentence for his twin.
"No fair! I was gonna say it?"
"Are you saying you're going to go your separate way?"
"No, but I just really wanted to finish that sentence."
"Oh, well you could have told me so Hikaru! I'm sorry."
"It's alright Kaoru, it's no problem at all!"
"Uh, could you guys get your arms off of me? I'm trying to cook here."
"Oh, sorry!"
They both said at the same time while taking their arms from around her only to turn around, face her, and then hug her very tightly.
"Guys… I… can't… breathe…"
"Get your hands off my daughter you filthy pesky twins!"
"Says the guy who always takes every chance he's got to glomp her!"
They said while running away from Tamaki who was chasing them and Haruhi who was getting irritated and who had a sweat drop on her head.
"Hey guys, it's almost ready."
She then took out a few bowls and set them on the table. She took out spoons and chopsticks as well as soy sauce and a few other sauces.
"Here you go guys. Serve yourselves. Oh! I have a whole bunch of dumplings extra from yesterday. Want me to re-heat it?"
They all nodded and she went to get them in the fridge. As she was heating them up, everyone started digging in. As the dumplings finished, Haruhi quickly put them on the table and everyone tried a few of them.
"Wow! This is better then the ones our chefs make! And our parents have the best cooks!"
"Stop boasting Hikaru!"
"I can and I will Kaoru! This is delicious!"
"You're right Hika-chan and Kao-chan! This really is good! Right Takashi?"
Mori slightly nodded.
"This is the best food I have ever tasted from my daughter! She is an amazing cook!"
"Get off me senpai!"
"Haruhi, I must say I am impressed. These dumplings are quite delicious. Might I ask you for the recipe?"
"Uh sure Kyoya-senpai, but why?"
"If you can make these for the host club, you might manage to sell these which will pay off quite a lot of your debt, depending on how much you sell."
'Of course! This guy never gives up does he?"
After the meal and all the dishes were done, they got ready to head out to the supermarket.
"Alright, now I'm only buying what's necessary to make 3 cakes!"
"Why so much cake?"
The twins smirked at her while saying that.
"Because honey-senpai loves them and no, I don't have a thing for cake."
Their smirks died. She grabbed a few cartons of eggs, 5 boxes of cake mix, tons of strawberries, a few things to make the icing red, and red jelly to put on the inside. When they had bought everything they needed, they went back home to make the cakes.
"No! Don't touch that senpai!"
"But-"
"No buts! Go sit on the couch or something."
He did as he was told.
"Hikaru! Don't touch that! You'll get burned!"
"But Haruhi- Ow!"
She ran to his side and grabbed his hand. She turned the cold water on and kept his hand on it while she went to get a bandage. When she came back, she carefully dried his hand, then put some healing cream on, and finally the gauze wrappings.
"Kaoru! Don't do like your brother!"
She sighed for the umpteenth time that day.
"Kyouya-senpai, would you mind looking after the cake a moment?"
"Of course not, it will b my pleasure."
"Thanks senpai."
She walked over to Honey and Mori.
"Honey-senpai, is it okay if all the cakes are strawberry?"
"That's my favourite cake!"
"Okay. What about you Mori-senpai?"
He just simply shook his head. She nodded and went back to check on the cake. After a few hours, the cakes were ready. They ended up making 5 cakes. Everyone had a slice of a cake, if not 2 or 3.
"So are you guys gonna sleep over or what?"
They all nodded.
"Okay, well, I'm gonna go get a few extra sleeping bags and pillows. Just wait here and be patient."
She left the room to get the stuff in her closet. When she came back, they were all talking about different stuff.
"Well, here you go. I got enough for all of us."
"Can I sleep with Usa-chan?"
"Uh, sure you can."
"Hey Haruhi?"
"Yeah senpai?"
"Why do you like red so much?"
The question caught her off guard.
"Uh, I'm not really comfortable with it, but alright. My mom's favourite color was red, and since she died, it's been me and my dad's favourite color too. We learned not too long ago that my dad is ill, and we don't know if he'll live or die. Ever since we learned, we've been wearing a lot of red. My parents met on valentine's day. My mom wore all red, except for stalkings. My dad loved the color on my mom, so he really liked it ever since. When I was younger, my mom would always give me red cards and costumes. She said that her and I looked the same in a lot of ways, so we both looked great in red. If my dad is going to die, then I'll have nowhere to go. I don't have any relatives, they all died. I've just been worried because of that."
They were all very sad to hear the news, as well as shocked and confused.
"Well, we better go to bed if we want to wake up in the morning. Good night guys."
"Good night, Haruhi."
They all said at the same time. Then, they went to sleep.
