Chapter 11: Shops and Arguments
The weekend was very eventful. Saturday I favored the most this time because I was able to sleep in and relax after the whole breakdown I had on Friday. Haruhi had come over and we just watched movies and all. It was fun and relaxing.
Sunday was a completely different story. I went to okaa-san's place and had the dinner rehearsal. I was not going to dress myself in anything fancy for people that I didn't know, so I wore skinny legs jeans and a Panic At The Disco band shirt, along with my punk styled All Stars.
I had learned a couple of things about what was going to happen at this wedding. One, my male partner that I had to walk down the isle after the wedding is extremely a snob and a perv, and right afterwards I am literally going to ditch this guy and not even bother taking the traditional picture with; two, I am being forced to sing. Apparently, okaa-san 'loves' how I sing and she hired a band that would play classical music and then music that I would choose. In other words, I am now her musical slave.
"I can't believe this woman wants me to sing," I complained to myself as I walked towards the third music room. "Why can't she just hire a female singer instead of forcing her own freakin' daughter to sing?!"
I opened the doors and found the room empty. I tilted my head to the side in confusion, trying to figure out where everyone else was at. Taking out my cell phone, I noticed that it was three with ten minutes.
'Aw crap I came too early,' I sweat dropped. I walked inside and threw myself onto the couch. After making myself comfy, I pulled out my notebook and my iPod. Research time!
The rules for the songs were that they had to be energetic, no cussing, and some romance songs. There went almost one third of my music. As I looked through my playlist, an evil thought came up to my head.
'She didn't say what genre and that means I choose do anything I want,' I began to laugh evilly out loud. Man doing that is rather fun.
"Setsuna-senpai, what is it that you are doing?" A voice suddenly asked me. Me being me, I choked on my own laughter and fell off the couch. I coughed and stood up quickly, as if nothing happened.
"Oh, Kyoya. I was just, um, doing nothing. Heheh," I rubbed the back of my neck. He just gave me a blank look showing that he didn't believe me.
"Right. Well, settle yourself down. We don't want you to miss out today," Kyoya said with his money-making smile.
'Evil smile,' I simply thought in my head. I nodded my head and sat back down on the couch. I simply just listened to music, bobbing my head up and down while waiting for everyone else to come.
I was about halfway through a Dragonforce song, when a blur just appeared out of no where. I jumped for a second, not knowing what it was. My head began to search for the blur again, and it appeared. Oh it appeared alright, jumping towards me. I brought my arms to my face out of instinct and waited for what ever it was to crash into me.
Not feeling anything, I opened my eyes and found the blur that I had seen earlier. Hunny was being held up in the air by two strong arms. My eyes followed the arms and saw their owners face.
"Mitsukuni, be careful," Mori said as he placed Hunny down. Hunny nodded and jumped to the empty seat that was next to me.
"Hi Suna-chan!" He gave me his award winning cute smile.
"Oh, hi Hunny. How's it going?" I asked as I removed the ear phones off of me.
"It's great. Ne, Takashi?" He said looking towards the silent Host. Mori nodded his head and agreed.
"That's good to know," I told him.
"We're opening soon. To your positions everyone," Tamaki shouted as he sat on his chair that depicted his position as King of the Host Club. As usual, we stood where we normally did and then our guests arrived.
I only had about five customers in total today. So I was practically free. I relaxed and leaned back on the couch that I was sitting on. I was ready to place the ear phones back on, when a shadow loomed over me. Slowly, I moved my head upwards and saw the gleam of glasses.
'The Dictator has returned!' I shouted in my head. I gulped for a second before saying, "Hi there, Kyoya."
"Hello Setsuna-senpai. Seeing that you are currently here and doing nothing, I decided to give you a certain task." He told me as a grin appeared on his face.
"And what would that be?" I nervously asked, hoping that I didn't have to serve any customers snacks and junk.
"I would like it if you were to check the club webpage and see how popular it is. Also, if you may add your profile on it seeing that Hikaru and Kaoru forgot to do it." He told me as he passed me a white laptop.
I grabbed the laptop and said, "Sure thing." I was guessing that the only reason he would have me do this was because he had customers for today. Seeing that it was already logged on, I went onto the webpage and looked at how it was formatted.
I was somewhat of an expertise in designing websites because my friends from back home would asked me to design their web pages and photoshop some of their images. Looking at the amount of visits, my eyes widened.
'Holy snaps, they get that many visitors just to see who they are and their pictures?!' I thought as I browsed around. Before getting any further, I started my profile.
'Let's see, name: Ayase Setsuna,' I typed in my name. 'Birthday: August thirteenth. Age: seventeen but soon to be eighteen. Sign: Leo. Height: 5'8. Blood Type: O. Grade: Third Year, Class A. Favorite Subjects: English, Biology, and History. Favorite Foods: Chocolate, Ramen, Pocky, Udon Noodles, Teriyaki Chicken, Onigiri. Type: Maternal.'
I finished typing up my profile. "Now let's look at everyone else's profile." With a simple click, I was now observing all my fellow members information. While surfing the site, I learned so much about each and every one of them. I was on Haruhi's profile when I saw something so shocking.
'Holy shiznits!' It was a 'picture' of Haruhi. Yes I know you might say "It's just a picture". Well let me tell you, it is a shopped picture of Haruhi topless. Man I wanted to ball out laughing, but I had a better idea. I closed the window and picked the laptop up. I got up and then walked towards my new destination.
"Hey Tamaki, you should check out the club's webpage. It looks pretty good," I handed him the lap top. Before he was even able to respond, I walked away to find Haruhi.
I found her by Hikaru's and Kaoru's station. As I neared her, I heard her say something about a worthless game.
"What's a worthless game?" I asked Haruhi as soon as I approached her.
She gave me a blank look and said, "It's a game where you guess which twin is which."
"Oh, I can win that game!" I proudly said as I pointed at myself with my thumb and had a grin on my face.
"What? Is there something you don't like about it?" Hikaru and Kaoru said simultaneously. I looked towards them and saw them both wearing green hats, covering their hair in which people can determine which twin is which.
"Actually..." Haruhi began as she turned away from me and looked at them, "I still don't get why you two are popular."
"She does have a point," I spoke aloud. Haruhi and I hadn't been in the Host Club for a long time like the others so we have no clue as to why they are popular.
"Oh, that's something really nice to say," They said again together. Suddenly moving like ghosts, we were sandwiched in between the two. Hikaru was next to Haruhi while Kaoru was next to me.
"It really seems that Haruhi and Setsuna-senpai..." Hikaru began.
"...does not understand the benefits of us, the twins, being in the host club." Kaoru finished.
"Listen," Hikaru began the explanation. "Just the fact that we're both handsome types and homo scores a lot of points. And while out act that swings between friendship and homo is favorable enough..."
Kaoru continued the explanation, "...in our case, we use the highest taboo of us being twins as our biggest weapon."
They left our sides and floated again towards a customer. She had short, dark brown, feminine styled hair and gray eyes. For some strange reason, the background was now pink and had a sparkle in it.
'How does that keep happening?' My thoughts pondered on that but were soon cut off when Hikaru kept speaking as his hand lightly touched the girls chin,
"On top of that, this setup of also being loved simultaneously by these two nodded twins is..."
Kaoru did the same, "...a maiden's ultimate romance, right?" He asked.
"Ehh...eh...me?" The girl asked. Suddenly she blushed like mad and said, "I can't take it any more!" The two girls that were with her squealed in delight and had hearts floating above their heads.
The twins just looked at us and smirked. 'That's not my ultimate romance. Although, I do wonder about that sometimes,' I thought with a non-noticeable blush.
Suddenly, someone running made my blush fade away. I looked towards the direction of where the sound was coming from.
'Perfect.'
Tamaki skidded to a stop. Smoke rose to the air because of the stop. He slammed his right foot down like a sumo wrestler and with and angry face he said,
"Hikaru, Kaoru!"
"Huh?" Both twins said. Everyone just looked at Tamaki confused while I was getting ready to burst out laughing.
Tamaki suddenly got in their faces and with sharp teeth said, "I let you guys maintain the club's webpage on the condition that you guys would take it seriously, right?"
With a bored look on both their faces, Hikaru said, "Yeah, we are doing it seriously."
"We were up until the early morning yesterday," Kaoru said as he moved his hands like a wave would.
Tamaki suddenly did a drastic and dramatic like turn and said, "And this is the graphic you guys came up with?!" His handed pounded on the keyboard as he showed them Haruhi's picture.
"Wah?!" Haurhi let out, with a sweat drop included, when she saw the picture.
"Haru-chan, you're so cool!" Hunny appeared with his flowers floating about him as he saw the picture as well. I looked towards Hunny and saw that he had to be lifted by Mori just to see that picture.
'Cute.'
All around the laptop, girls surrounded it with hearts either in their eyes or floating above their heads squealing about Haruhi. I looked and Haruhi and sweat dropped. Poor girl was white as chalk. She had a horrified look on her face. Tamaki immediately moved towards the twins and the girls took over the laptop.
"He's so sexy..." I heard one of them say.
I patted Haruhi's back whispering, "Sorry that you had to witness this photo. But just to let you know it's a shop."
"When did you guys take a nude picture of Haruhi?" I faced Tamaki, while still trying to comfort Haruhi. Boy was Tamaki pissed or what?
Now since this is Tamaki we're seeing, I bet he was imagining Haruhi covering her chest with a blanket or something, just showing her back. Behind her would be Kaoru and Hikaru taking photos. Maybe bribing her with ootoro or some type of rich people food.
Still looking at Tamaki, I really wanted to laugh at his facial expression. Was he really that clueless about this picture being a shop? Yet, my fun was killed when the twins actually told him that it was a shop.
"A shop?" I heard him question. His whole body was white as chalk in a form of despair I believe. Behind him, the background turned black to make Tamaki stand out and a sign suddenly appeared.
The So-Called Idol Collage?
'How the hell do these frequent changes happen?!'
Haruhi was still in a state of shock and didn't notice what was going on behind her. I looked and saw Tamaki holding a magazine to the twins saying something about doing a shop of Haruhi in girls clothing.
"That's stupid, tono," Hikaru said.
"It's much easier to have Haruhi wear these clothing instead," Kaoru told him.
As realization finally hit Tamaki, he looked towards mine and Haruhi's direction and said, "Oh yeah, have Haruhi wear it..."
He tiptoed away only to return a few seconds later with a pink dress in his hands. He Held it up behind her back and said, "How about something like this?"
Hunny coming up to us at the time being said with a question mark above his head, "Why do you have one on hand?"
"Yeah, Tamaki. Why do you even have a dress?" I asked as I began to slightly pull Haruhi away from the evil pink dress.
A few feet away from us, some of the customers were saying that Haruhi is gorgeous and that they too would like to see their Haruhi-kun in girls clothing.
Finally, Haruhi snapped out of her depressed zone and sighed. She turned to look at Tamaki and simply gave him a small glare. He was a bit shocked and simply floated away with the dress.
"Please stop that. Making shopped images like that without permission...What am I exactly?" Haruhi said to them.
"Oi, Haruhi. Maybe you shouldn't have asked them that last question," I whispered to her.
"What's the worst that they can say," she whispered back.
We both looked back to the twins and they smirked, "That's obvious. Our toy."
"Suna-chan! Come eat cakie with us!" I heard my name being called.
I sighed and asked, "Are you going to handle me being gone?"
Haruhi looked at me and nodded, "I'm sure I can handle them."
"Alright. Just let me know if they become a hassle for you." I then walked away from her and headed towards Hunny and Mori's spot.
Host Club Operations Go On
As soon as I arrived to their designation spot, Hunny got up and jumped on top of me. Although I was somewhat caught off guard, I managed to grab him and make sure that he didn't fall.
"Suna-chan, do you want chocolate cakie?" Hunny asked me as I directed myself to sit in an unoccupied seat.
"Sure Hunny," I said as soon as I sat down next to one of the customers. Hunny didn't even bother leaving my lap as soon as he reached for the cake. He managed to grab it along with a fork and handed it to me.
"Here you go Suna-chan!" He smiled with his flowers floating around him. All the girls that were there squealed as they witnessed his cuteness.
I looked towards my left and saw Mori standing there. "Mori, why don't you sit down?" I asked as I scooted over so that he was able to sit down. He nodded his head and sat down next to me.
It was rather chill me just being there with them. Mostly Hunny would talk all cutesy and all Mori would do is nod and say a few words while I would be writing down song ideas. That's when I realized something. Mori talks more to me then to these customers. I wonder why?
"Setsuna-senpai," I heard a voice say.
"Hmm?" I looked up and saw that it was Yori, one of the customers that I had earlier.
"What is it that you are writing in your notebook, if it's alright to ask?" She asked with a smile.
I placed my pen and my iPod down on the table with my notebook and said, "Well, my okaa-san is getting married and she asked me if I could sing a couple of songs for her. So I am writing a list of songs that I'm gonna sing."
"Really? I didn't know you could sing," Yori and the other girls around her said.
"Neither did I," I whispered to myself.
"Suna-chan sings really, really good!" Hunny said as he held Usa-chan to his chest. Again, the pink flowers that was always around him appeared. "Last time, Takashi and I walked in on her singing once and we thought it was really pretty. Ne, Takashi?"
"Un," I heard Mori say. I turned to face him and saw that he was smiling. The blushing monster returned once again, only that this time I was in control. Why? Because when you have fan girls who adore Mori, you might want to steer clear from them or you might get killed.
"Thanks you guys." I continued looking at my iPod, searching for song possibilities. So far I had written CASCADA's Everytime We Touch, Paramore's Crushcrushcrush, The Offspring's Want You Bad. Those were the romance songs, but my style. I was also going to include random songs that I like, like Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American. Oh man was I am gonna tear that place apart.
I started laughing inside my head like an idiot when I heard Haruhi scream, "I am not a toy!"
I sighed and said, "Excuse me, but I believe Haruhi needs some assistance at the moment." Those around me nodded their heads and allowed me to go to Haruhi. Yet the strangest thing happened when I got near.
"Toy!" A voice said from somewhere. My head followed the sound of the voice and it soon stopped towards a door, a door that was never there in the first place. Black flowers surrounded the door and it was slightly open, revealing a cloaked male.
"Toy...Toy...If you like toys, then come to my club, the Black Magic Club," I was now next to Haruhi as the male continued talking. "The world black magic item market...is now being held."
I narrowed my eyes to look at the person. Yes, from the pitch of his voice I was able to determine that he was in fact a guy. All though the hood covered his head and some of his face, I was able to tell that the guy's hair was blackish green and he was a bit on the pale side. On his right hand he held a stand that held three candles, but I couldn't tell what was on the other.
"We also have a Mass going on all the time. Come now...and everyone will get a lovely voodoo doll, Beelzenef, as a present," He then lifted his left arm up and showed a yellow cat puppet.
Black Magic Club President – Nekozawa Umehito
'Where the hell did that sign, the flowers, and the freaking door appear?! Oh well, the universe works in its mysterious ways. But hey, now I know his name.'
"Why are you talking from that little opening?" Haruhi blankly asked as I sweat dropped. By now all the flowers were gone but the door remained.
"And...was there a door over there before?" Hikaru and Kaoru said together.
Kyoya then walked over to us, with his black book and said, "Nekozawa-senpai doesn't like places that are bright."
Suddenly, I felt a breath behind my neck, "You should stay away from that person."
'Holy crap!' Me and Haruhi jumped at the same time. I placed my hand on my heart and began to shake. I sometimes hated being scared behind me.
"If you are connected to him in any way, without exception, you'll get cursed," Tamaki had finished his statement with a serious/scared tone.
"On what grounds do you say that?" Haruhi asked as I shook my head multiple times.
Tamaki then began his story, "Yes...it was during last year's final exams...Ah...it's scary to even talk about it..."
As we listened to Tamaki's story, I finally stopped shaking and just stared at him. Apparently he stepped on the cat, Beelzenef, on accident and believed that he got cursed. He went on saying that on a test he was taking, curse-like words were appearing and that everyone around him was people he never knew.
"I'm scared!" Hunny shouted with round tears on his face.
"That really happened?" Haruhi asked.
"You're kidding me," I blankly said as I looked at Kyoya.
"That was just you taking a test in Greek class by mistake," Kyoya said.
Tamaki, being the one who actually believed in curses, ran up to Kyoya and tried to rebuttal, "No, it's a curse! And for the next three days, for some reason, my feet were as heavy as lead!"
"You were running the marathon the day before," Kyoya simply answered as he continued writing and not even bothering to look up.
Suddenly, Nekozawa appeared before the two and said while holding Beelzenef and said, "The power of this voodoo doll, Beelzenef, is authentic. If you write the name of the person you hate on the back of this doll, that person will suffer much misfortune."
Poor Tamaki was literally freaked out and Kyoya just remained blank. I sighed at the idiot. I began to walk away back to where I was previously sitting when something caught my attention.
A flashlight was in Kaoru's hands and he switched it on and off. 'Oh this is going to be sad but funny.'
Kaoru turned on the flashlight and beamed it straight towards Nekozawa. The poor teen literally screamed as soon as the beam hit him. And since Tamaki was in front of Nekozawa, screamed as well. Nekozawa immediately ran towards his door, leaving a trail of smoke as he screamed out,
"MURDERERS!"
He finally ran to his door and once he was gone, it had closed behind him. A few seconds after he had left, Hikaru and Kaoru just looked at another and shrugged their shoulders. Tamaki then floated towards them and for some strange and extremely bizarre reason had a giant head.
'Freaky...'
"Hikaru, Kaoru, what have you done?!" The twins walked away from Tamaki as he continued talking. "You guys don't understand the true horrors of black magic." But as soon as Tamaki noticed that they were gone, he turned white.
"Ahh, it's so boring," Hikaru said as he and Kaoru were sitting on chairs.
"Isn't there something interesting out there?" Kaoru wondered.
After being white for a few seconds, Tamaki ran off to an 'emo corner' and said, "I'm being ignored...The president's dignity is..."
I just sweat dropped. Sometimes I did feel sorry for Tamaki, but then again I think that is just how he overreacts sometimes. I just walked away from the whole group and went back to doing my original work, which was song researching.
I placed the ear phones on my ear and ignored all the events that were occurring around me. It was barely a minute or two when I was tapped on the shoulder. I turned my head away from the iPod and looked at who it was. It was Haruhi.
"Oh, what up?" I asked as I pulled the ear phones out of my ear.
"I need you to prove something for me," Haruhi said.
"Uh, sure." I got up from my seat and walked over to Hikaru and Kaoru who were for some strange reason quiet. They both had on the green hats.
"Suna-chan, you can tell apart who is Hikaru and Kaoru, right?" Haruhi asked.
"Yeah," I simply said.
"Can you please point out who is who?"
"Sure," and with my right index finger, I pointed to the twin on my right and said, "That's Hikaru." I moved my hand to the left and said, "That's Kaoru."
"And how were you able to determine this?"
I placed my finger on my chin and said, "Well after hanging out with them for a while now, I was able to determine who was who by the tone of their voice. To me, Hikaru's voice is more mischievous and Kaoru is a little gentler. How were you able to tell 'em apart, Haruhi?"
"Well, let's see..." She did the exact position I did before responding. "If I had to say, Hikaru's actions are one level meaner than Kaoru's."
Ill Intentions: Zero
Kaoru then began to chuckle and Hikaru turned to look at him, "S-Sorry, Hikaru." He then began to laugh out loud.
"Hey, I'm just being sincere and saying what I want without hiding anything, and in fact, Kaoru's the one that's more ill-natured."
That caused Kaoru to stop laughing and face his brother, "Don't be saying whatever you want. I'm the one that has to deal with your selfishness all the time."
Hikaru faced Kaoru as well and said, "I may be the one that brought this up, but you're the one that's digging a deeper hole. Don't like it? Then stop. Are you stupid or something?"
"That's because I couldn't help but see you being dumber. Besides, even though you call Haruhi a toy, you always make a pass at Haruhi whenever you get the chance. Hikaru, you actually like Haruhi, don't you?"
Hikaru blushed and said, "Huh?!"
Tamaki had to pop out and shout out, "What?!"
Oh wow, yeah there were moments where I would think that Hikaru may have a crush on Haruhi, but I wouldn't be able to get much evidence. But since Kaoru is his brother, he knows him more than I do.
Hikaru stuttered out, "W-What are you misunderstanding here?! You really are an idiot, Kaoru."
Again, Tamaki popped out shaking and flustered, "Yeah, there are things you should and shouldn't say in this world!"
"Besides, why would I like a short fox like Haruhi?" Hikaru said.
'He did not just call her a short fox? That's somewhat rude.'
Tamaki had anger marks on his head as he said and ran towards the twins, "How dare you call Haruhi a short fox!"
"Beautiful! This is beautiful!" A female voice said.
High-power Motor
As the motor came out, Hunny and Mori came over towards me and Haruhi. I had a blank look on my face as Renge appeared.
"A beautiful, yet painful, four-sided relationship revolving around Haruhi! And two of them are twins; what a predicament-like development!"
A rather large sweat drop appeared on both mine and Haruhi's head. It just had to be Renge who would say something like this. She is such a fan girl.
"Renge can eat three bowls of rice of this!"
"Get lost, you otaku," Hikaru and Kaoru said together.
'Thank you!"
Renge then began to cry as she whined out, "How could you?! How could you?! How could you say that to the manager?"
She stopped her crying when Tamaki offered her his hand to stand and as he said, "Renge-kun, I thought you liked Haruhi."
A shine and a blush appeared on her face and in the background, a rose appeared, "That's a separate thing. Having a different stomach for this kind of relationship is common sense these days."
Tamaki just sweat dropped at her answer.
"And...I thought you had already went back to France?" Haruhi asked.
"Yeah, what happened to that?" I asked her.
"Because when I tried founding a host club in France, it wasn't received well because it's too early for them." Another round of sweat drops appeared on our heads.
"I've had it with you already!" I turned to look at Hikaru. "Always sneaking into my bed, that's very annoying!"
"I slept with you because you looked so helplessly lonely, you idiot!" Kaoru retaliated.
The girls in the background had hearts above their heads and were really excited about the two fighting. I walked towards Kyoya and whispered, "You have to close early. I don't think it is a good idea to have the customers here while these two are fighting." All he did was write in his notebook and not give me a response, yet.
"Who you calling and idiot? You're worse than me in math!"
"Look who's talking! You should go study Japanese more!"
"You obnoxiously noisy person!"
"Who's the one with the bad sleeping form and always falling off the bed?"
"Erotic imp!"
"Pervert!"
"At least I'm better than you! I'm not talking to you any more!" They both said at the same time. And so, lightning struck.
"This isn't going to end well," I said aloud to my fellow members.
