Chapter 29: Harajuku and Sweetness

You know when you have those moments when you are in bed and it feels like you are about to fall down and you suddenly jerk? That's what awoke me that Sunday morning. I looked at my radio/clock and saw that it was twenty minutes to nine. I instantly knew that I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep, so I rubbed the sleep away from my eyes and got up from bed.

As I stretched my body, I walked towards my drawers and pulled out a dark blue bra and a pair of panties that are the same color. I grabbed each of my items and threw them onto my unmade bed. Grabbing my robe, I headed out of my room and headed towards the bathroom.

Seeing that it was currently unoccupied, I went in and did my morning routine and added a shower. It was roughly about thirty minutes when I emerged out of the bathroom and headed back to my room. Throwing my used clothes into the hamper filled with dirty clothes, I began to get dressed into the clothes that I left on my bed. Now that I had my undergarments on, I headed towards the closet and looked for some clothes.

"Aw, crap," I groaned as I looked for something to wear.

I walked towards my hamper and that's when I found that all my jeans were in the hamper.

"Damn, now I have to do laundry today! Eh, I'll do it after coming back from Harajuku. Nah, I'll do it tomorrow."

I went back towards my closet and looked for something to wear. I found a blue and black pinstripe mini skirt and a black muscle tee shirt. Seeing that those were the only possible clothing options that I had, I got dressed. Well not before putting on some black nylons.

Now with that on, I grabbed my studded belt and simply placed it around my waist. I found my black tote bag and began placing my wallet, keys, iPod, and cell phone. Lastly, I grabbed my black Vans high tops and went downstairs to the living room.

I made it downstairs and went to eat a small breakfast of cereal before writing a note to otou-san and to Fuka that I had left to go shopping. Fuka was supposed to go with me, but she decided to bail on me saying that she had to go do a project at a friend's house. Oh well. With breakfast done, I headed towards the door, placed my shoes on, placed my ear buds on, and headed out the door.

Listening to GACKT, I made my way to the Tokyo Metro line that was going to take me to my destination: Harajuku. It was about a fifteen minute walk to the actual place but luckily for me, I knew my way there already since I research before hand. Back in Hongō, I had the area to the subway nicely memorized, but now that I live here in Bunkyō, I needed to learn the place. Now that I was in Yushima, where the directions told me to go, I made my way towards the station.

I headed straight for the Chiyoda line and used my PASMO card to swipe me through the gates. I had about fifteen hundred yen ($15) on my PASMO, so that should be enough to and back from Harajuku. I made my way down the stairs and simply waited for the subway to arrive. In exactly two minutes, it had finally arrived.

Thankfully, it wasn't packed so I walked towards an empty seat that was next to the doors. I sat down and simply let the music keep me company as I made my way to my destination. I had about nine stops before I actually made it to the place, so it was going to take about thirty minutes, or something around that time, before I made it to my stop which was Meiji-jingumae.

I was glad that I brought my iPod because it simply made time faster. I had finally arrived at my destination and began to look for Exit Two. I found it in a nick of time and walked up the stairs. I finally made it to Harajuku. I found it a bit ironic that the Meiji Shrine was located here and because this is where the most awesome fashion is found. I mean cosplayers are always hanging out near the shrine entrance and all.

Now it is time for my mission: find those awesome boots. So, apparently the boots are called engineer boots, not combat boots. I sweat dropped when I was looking online the night before.

I was making my way to Takeshita Street, where all the cool stuff is at, when I felt my phone vibrate.

"Moshi, moshi," I answered once I flipped open my phone.

"Hey, Suna-chan," Haruhi's voice was heard.

"Hey! What's up?" I replied as I went to take a seat on a bench.

"Nothing much, just at home relaxing. What are you doing today?"

"Well, I'm at Harajuku right now. I was gonna ask you if you wanted to come but I heard from the Twins that you had some things to do that," I said to her as I scratched my arm. Yeah, random.

"They said that? I'm not even doing anything," She replied. Knowing Haruhi, she would be sweat dropping right now.

"Those bastards!" I cursed them.

She laughed and said, "Around what time will you be back?"

I pulled out my iPod to look at the time and saw that it was ten thirty-six. I quickly estimated in my head how long I was gonna be here for and said, "I should be back around twelve something."

"In that case, do you want to come over and have lunch? I'm sure otou-san would like to have you over again. Especially since he doesn't stop asking about you and saying when you're going to come and visit."

"Yeah, I'd love to come. Ah, Ranka-san. Tell you what, how about you call my cell when you want me there," I told her as I now stood up and headed to Takeshita Street.

"Great! I'll talk to you soon then. Have fun in Harajuku!"

"Thanks, Haruhi! I'll talk to you later. Bye," I said.

"Bye," and with that, she hung up.

I slipped my phone back into my tote and now stood in front of Takeshita Street.

"Ah, heaven for me. Hell for my wallet."

I looked at almost every store that was there. I went into Jam Pixy – I love their clothes since they are so cheap – and browsed around. I found a purple skirt that was puffy like a tutu and was a bit glittery. I also found a shirt that came with a vest and tie. I grabbed the two items and bought them. I walked out of the store and that's when I saw the store that has my shoes: Harajuku Shoes.

I walked over and immediately looked for the shoes that I wanted. Then a light shined down on me. There, right in front of me, was the engineer boots. There were two different styles: the first was a little less halfway of my calves while the other went to my knees. Knowing that I was a size LL, I walked over to the sales woman and asked her if she had my size for the boots that would go to my knees. Sadly, she said that they didn't have any, but told me that they had my size for the other ones.

"I'll take those then," I told her as I began to reach for my wallet.

She smiled at me and grabbed the shoes and headed towards the cashier. There she handed the shoes to the man at the register and rung up the shoes.

"That will be forty-five hundred yen ($45)," He smiled at me while he told me my price.

I nodded my head and took out exactly the amount he asked for. I handed him the money and he proceeded. He placed my shoes in a black bag with the stores name and handed me a receipt and the bag.

"Thank you very much! Have a nice day," He smiled.

"Thank you," I smiled before leaving the store.

Now that my mission was complete, I grabbed my cell phone from my tote and looked at the time. It was eleven eighteen. It was pretty good timing, so I continued my shopping. I left Takeshita Street and decided to go to Kiddy Land. Making my way there, I noticed that H&M was having a sale. I gulped when I saw the amount of girls and guys that were there. I decided to go for it and went inside, bravely.

Immediately once I was in I found a dress that I fell in love with. It was a teal strapless dress that reached a little above the knees and was form fitting. I quickly searched for my size and lucky me, I found one. But what was luckier for me was the fact that it was only a thousand yen ($10). I didn't even bother trying it on since I knew that it would take forever with the line and the fact that I knew it would fit me. I went to the cashier and paid for the dress. I walked out of the store with a happy face.

Now for my last and final stop: Kiddy Land. I had to cross the street twice and walk about five minutes to reach the store. The store was toy central! Every floor had different types of toys. There was Ghibli toys and movies, Hello Kitty, Pokémon, Super Mario, Snoopy, Disney, anime related items, and lots more. I looked through every floor, but once I made it to the anime floor – which was the last one – I was in heaven. The first thing I did was look for Bleach items. I found them and immediately I got an Ichigo cell phone charm. I found Naruto items and I got myself a Kakashi cell phone charm as well. Deciding that these two would be the only things I'd get – for now – I went to the cashier and bought them.

"Shopping: complete!" I smiled as I left the store.

Now I made my way back to the metro line to head back home. I got there in a matter of a few minutes and I swiped my way in. As I passed through the gates, I heard the subway arrive so I had to run to it so that I wouldn't miss it. I had made it in the knick of time because once I was in, the doors were closing. I sighed and sat down, but once I sat down, I felt my phone vibrate. It was a text message.

"Oi! Where are you? ~Fuka," I read the text. I sighed and simply text back saying that I was on the Chiyoda line heading back home. A few seconds later, she asked how long it would take me to get back and I wrote thirty minutes. A minute later I simply got a text that said the letter k. I sweat dropped.

'Fuka, you didn't have to reply with just a damn letter,' I thought in my head. 'Idiot!'

Thirty minutes had finally came and I was making my way out of the subway. Now it was time to head home. I was listening now to My Chemical Romance's Teenagers as I crossed a street. I smiled as I listened to the lyrics of the song and bobbed my head as I skipped over a crack on the ground. Finally, I was outside my door.

"I'm home!" I shouted as took off my iPod, dropped my bags on the ground, and began to remove my shoes.

"Welcome back. How was shopping?" Otou-san asked as he walked by me.

"It was good. Oh! The Fujioka's invited me over for lunch. But I'm gonna head to the super market first to buy some pocky and gum since I ran out," I told him as I made my way up the stairs with my shoes and bags.

"Alright. Say hello to Ranka-san for me."

"Will do!"

Walking up the stairs, I headed straight to my room. I opened the door and left it open since I was going to be leaving soon. I went towards my bed and placed the bags. The first thing I pulled out was the clothes that I bought and placed them inside my closet. Then I grabbed the Kiddy Land bag and dug out for my cell charms. I decided to use the Ichigo one, so without further ado, I placed it on my cell phone. Now was the task of my boots.

"Hmm, I'll wear it right now! Since I do have to break into them and all," I smiled as I took out the boots from the bag.

Because of the fact that they were new, I decided to simply just put them on. At first, I had a hard time putting the shoe, but with a hard yank I managed to do so. I placed the other one on and then stood up. I was at least an inch or two taller with these shoes.

"Yes! I'm taller than Hikaru and Kaoru now!" I smiled as I looked at the mirror.

Ah, I love these boots. I went to grab my cell phone from my tote and saw that it was about twelve thirty-three.

"I should go to the super market," I said to myself as I grabbed money from my wallet and grabbed my iPod. I placed my money into my back pocket while I placed my cell phone and iPod in the other two. I walked out of my room, not before closing the door, and headed downstairs. The sounds of my boots were heard as I went down step by step.

"I'm heading out, otou-san," I shouted as I grabbed my keys and placed them in the same pocket where my cell phone was at.

"Bye," I heard him shout from the living room.

I closed the door behind me and headed towards the super market. As I listened to UVERworld and walked towards my destination, I felt something odd around me. I'm not sure, but I swear my Takashi-senses were tingling at the moment.

"Hmm, oh well! Time to buy my pocky and gum!" I sang as I moved my bangs away from my eyes.

Finally I made it to Marutomi – that's the super market's name – and made my way in. Once I stepped in I was greeted with the nice cool temperature and the smell of produce. That just sounded cheesy for some odd reason.

I grabbed a basket and was about to walk over towards the aisle where the pocky would be at when I suddenly stopped. Not only were my Takashi senses tingling to the max, but I got a feeling that the others were around. Man I shouldn't have watched that Spider Man movie yesterday. It has me sensing things now.

As I turned to where the pocky was at, I saw a person that looked like Ranka-san. The person wore a yellow dress suit, a purple top, and had a light purple scarf around their neck. Also the person wore high heels. Okay, I'm totally losing it.

I now stood in the aisle where the pocky was and I grabbed three of the chocolate ones, knowing that they would be gone in a few days. Since I was in the candy aisle and I did have money, I decided to just go crazy and get some sugary snacks. I grabbed two bags of gummi worms, a bag of sour gummi worms, a pack of gum, two chocolate bars of my favorite brand, and that's when I thought of something. I pulled out my cell phone and called otou-san.

"Otou-san, is there any thing you want me to bring from the super market?" I asked as I continued searching for some more sugary treats.

"No, I bought all the things we needed yesterday," He told me.

"Ah, okay. I'll see you soon then. Bye," I hung up.

Out of no where, I saw a little kid run down the aisle that I was in. My head followed the kid because he really, really looked like Hunny. He had the same hair color and was wearing a blue and white sailor shirt that had an anchor over his heart and was wearing blue shorts and sneakers. I'm really losing it. I turned around to walk down the aisle and that's when I crashed into someone.

The basket landed safely on the ground but the person and I fell hard. When I landed, my eyes immediately closed because of the pain that I felt. But I felt weight on top of me and that showed that the person landed on top of me.

"I'm sorry," I heard the person say and that's when I instantly recognized the voice.

My eyes snapped open and were wide when I saw Takashi on top of me.

"Takashi?" I mumbled as I looked at him.

"Setsuna!" A blush was painted over his cheeks as he now realized that it was me and the current position that we were in.

He got off of me and held out his hand for me to take. I grabbed his hand and he lifted me from the ground rather fast because now my face was on his chest. He was wearing a pair of black jeans that had a red vertical line going down on both sides, a purple sleeveless shirt that was underneath a black sleeveless shirt that had a large popped collar and had white at the top and across his chest, and was wearing sandals. I backed away for a bit and then realized that the basket was on the ground. I bent down to grab it and that's when I noticed something.

"What are you doing here?"

"Ranka-san told us to come with him to follow Haruhi," He simply said.

"Are the others here too?"

"Un," He said as he grabbed my hand and led me down the aisle.

We peaked over and there I saw Tamaki with Haruhi looking at some meat. I turned my head and saw Hikaru and Kaoru looking at instant coffee. Then I found Kyoya looking at the prices of some of the products. And there was Hunny, running around the market looking at everything there was.

Hikaru was wearing a white shirt that had a hoodie and was long sleeves and a red orange sleeveless shirt over it. He had on dark green jeans and a lighter green shirt tied around his waist. Kaoru wore the same colors except that the red orange shirt was short-sleeved and over it was a white jacket that was sleeveless. Instead of having something tied around his waist he had a chain or something. Both were wearing necklaces.

Tamaki was wearing a light green shirt that had a black shirt underneath and light blue jeans and was wearing sandals. Kyoya was wearing a pair of brown jeans and a sleeveless button up grey shirt in which underneath he had a burgundy colored shirt. He also was wearing sandals. Haruhi was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt that was under a pink spaghetti strapped dressed that reached her knees and had on jeans underneath and was wearing sandals. Around her neck were two necklaces.

"Hmm, so I was right about the tingling sensations," I mumbled to myself.

"Takashi! Suna-chan!" I heard our names being called. We both turned around and that's when I saw Hunny walking towards us with a shopping cart in his hand. Hunny walked up to me and said, "Can I go in the shopping cart? Can I?"

I laughed at how cute it sounded and said, "Okay, you can go in the shopping cart."

I was about to lift him up, but I was beaten. Takashi easily lifted him off the ground and placed him in the shopping cart.

"Takashi, why don't you take Hunny for a spin while I go and pay for the things I'm gonna buy?"

He looked at me and said, "Ah."

I smiled and patted Hunny's head, "Don't cause too much trouble, okay."

"Okay!"

That's when we parted. I headed towards the cashier register and when I made I turn, I bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry," I bowed politely to whoever it was.

"Suna-chan?"

I looked up and right in front of me was Haruhi and Tamaki

"Hey Haruhi! So, I'm guessing that there are more people joining us for lunch today, ne?" I grinned at the sight of Tamaki holding the shopping basket.

She sweat dropped for a second and said, "Yeah. It's a long story, but I'll tell you later. How was Harajuku?"

"Setsuna-senpai, you went to Harajuku without telling us?" I felt arms wrap around me as the Hikaru and Kaoru spoke.

"Why would I take you both since you first lied about Haruhi being busy?" I questioned that as I looked directly straight into their eyes.

"You know, Hikaru, I think Setsuna-senpai in exactly our height now," Kaoru said as he finally took notice.

"You're right! Normally we have to look down at her. And did you notice her outfit? She looks more like a girl," Hikaru smirked.

An anger mark appeared over my head. "I'm going to kick you with my new boots if you do not back away this instant," I threatened.

They scurried away from me and moved to be behind Haruhi and Tamaki. "Scary," I heard them say.

"Are you done shopping?" I asked Haruhi.

"Yeah we just finished."

"Let's go pay then!"

We – Haruhi, Tamaki, Hikaru, Kaoru, and I – headed to the registers and paid for all the things that we bought. Right when I was given my bag, Takashi and Hunny showed up right besides me.

"Have a good time?" I asked both of them.

"Yup! It was fun! Ne, Takashi?"

"Ah."

By now, everyone – including Kyoya and Ranka-san – showed up.

"Hi Ranka-san, Kyoya," I greeted the two as the appeared before me.

"Setsuna-chan!" Ranka-san ran towards me and held me a tight hug.

'Just like Tamaki's,' I thought in my head as she spun me around a few times.

"Exactly alike," I heard the Twins say in unison.

I was finally released from his grip as he said, "You're joining us for lunch, ne?"

I nodded my head and said, "Uh huh. Haruhi invited me earlier today."

"Haruhi, why didn't you invite us over for lunch?" Tamaki dramatically cried out as he now held one of the shopping bags.

I sweat dropped at the sight of him crying and the random mushrooms that were on his head.

We made our way to the Fujioka residence. It was quite entertaining seeing girls fawn over the guys thinking that they were movie stars or something. And like before, my hand accidentally brushed against Takashi's. We both turned to look at each other as we saw a blush on each other's cheek. But that's when he suddenly took his hand and held my own. Just like that, we walked with our hands intertwined behind the others. In a matter of a few minutes, we finally made it to where Haruhi and Ranka-san lived.

Once we were there, I remembered the drill of taking off our shoes. Everyone easily slipped off their shoes, but seeing that I had my boots, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to take them off standing. I sat down on the ground and proceeded in removing my shoes. Like I said, it was way easier removing them.

I asked Haruhi where I could place my sweets and she told me to leave them in the fridge so that nothing would melt. I did so and then headed towards the living room were they all sat. At the head of the table was Kyoya, then Kaoru, Hikaru, Haruhi, Tamaki, Ranka-san at the other end of the table, then me, Hunny, and lastly Takashi.

"So what are we eating?" I asked as I removed a stray hair from my face.

"Nabe cuisine since there is a lot of us," Haruhi said as she got up from her seat.

"Do you need any help Haruhi?" I asked her.

"If you want, you can help me cut up the vegetables," Haruhi told me as she made her way into the kitchen.

I got up from my seat and headed towards the kitchen. I stood next to her as she began to take out all the veggies that needed to be chopped.

"So how did this all happen?" I asked as I washed my hands.

She then proceeded telling me the story of how the Host Club randomly appeared in front of her apartment. She told me that they were acting when they went inside her house and how they had tea and cake.

"Takashi gave you his strawberries?"

"Yeah, Mori-senpai told me that he remembered you saying how much I like strawberries, so he gave me his," Haruhi told me as we gather the veggies that were already chopped.

'Wow, he remembered.'

She then continued on saying that Tamaki had fallen on top of her when Ranka-san suddenly appeared and how she went to the market and they ended up following her.

"Hmm, interesting," I said as we placed all the food – meat and veggies – into a pot.

Haruhi then placed rice into the rice cooker and let that cook as we took the pot towards the living room where a mini stove was already placed at the center of the table.

"Tell me about it," She sighed.

I laughed and said, "You know, this is just a way of them wanting to be part of your life. Even if it is a bit crazy, it just shows that they care."

"I never thought of it that way," Haruhi softly said as we headed back to the kitchen to get plates and chopsticks for everyone.

"Remember, I'm the Maternal Type. I know all!"

"Suna-chan, no."

I laughed and placed all the utensils on the table before sitting down. The rice was ready and we were all served. That's when the nabe was cooking and soon after ready to eat.

"Actually, just thinking about it pisses me off," I heard Ranka-san suddenly say as he went chibi mode with anger marks all over him and a red orange background.

"Here, have some shungiku," Hearts were over Ranka-san as he just kept giving Tamaki shunguki.

Tamaki simply cried and said, "Meat…"

"Vexing shungiku~"

"What is this?" Haruhi said as she had a blank look on her face.

"I have no idea," I said to her as I watched Ranka-san.

"Setsuna-chan, have you gotten together yet?" Ranka-san suddenly asked me.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused at what she meant.

"Have you asked Mo-" Luckily for me, Haruhi interrupted him from continuing.

"Otou-san!"

"Ah, Haruhi! Otou-san just wants to be a match-maker for Setsuna-chan!"

I was blushing like mad right now and I tried to cover it by lowering my head, allowing my hair to cover my face. I think my face was so hot that it could have probably cooked the nabe that we were having.

"Suna-chan, are you okay? Your face is really red," Hunny said to me as he began to remove my hair from my face to look at me.

I nervously laughed and said, "I'm fine. It's just that the food is so hot, it made my face red."

At first, it looked like Hunny didn't believe me, but not a few seconds later her smiled and said, "Oh okay!"

Inside my head, I sighed in relief.

I felt my cell phone ringing and saw that it was a private call. Seeing that it may be important, I excused myself from the table and went outside after Haruhi gladly lent me some slippers. I picked up the phone and answered, but there was no one on the other line.

"What the hell? Hm, weird," I said as soon as I flipped my phone to a close. Next to me, I heard the door open and saw Takashi closing it behind him. "What's up?" I asked him as I slipped my phone back into my pocket.

"I was told to come and check on you," His deep voice answered my question.

"Oh, well I'm fine. Just that a private number called me and no one answered once I picked up the phone. Thought it was weird," I told him as I leaned against the wall.

"Oh," Takashi simply said.

I kept silent and simply looked at him. Well I guess stare is the proper term for what I was doing. In return, he did the same.

"Setsuna…"

"Yes?"

"May I kiss you?"

That had to be one of the cutest and sweetest things I heard coming from a guy. I nodded my head and waited for him to make the move. He moved closer to me and bent down a bit. As he brought his face closer to mine, he looked straight into my eyes as did I. Right when we were a breath away, our eyes closed and our lips were pressed together.

It was a simple kiss and I was glad that we weren't going crazy with tongues and everything. I had a feeling that I may have been his first kiss since he was being so gentle. After a minute, we pulled away from each other seeing that we had to breathe and all.

I took a step back and I was taking in every little detail from his appearance and simply I was amazed. Amazed that this handsome guy that every girl would dream of had and has been kissing me since the time we went to the beach. Just thinking about that made me blush. I guess I wasn't the only one since he too was blushing.

"Let's go back inside," I grabbed his hand and led him back inside the apartment.

Lunch was over soon and now we all stood outside of Haruhi's apartment. I held my bag of sweets in my hand and next to me was Takashi who was carrying Hunny on his shoulders.

"Seeing that we all are here, I might as well discuss with you all the next theme that we are going to be doing," Kyoya said to us after he swallowed a piece of meat. "We are going to be police officers."

"Police officers? Why?" I asked him once my face finally cooled down from Ranka-san's comment.

All he had to do was simply point at Tamaki and everything was finally clear.

"We should make Setsuna-senpai a prisoner," Hikaru and Kaoru exclaimed as they wrapped their arms around my shoulders and waist.

"Over your dead bodies," I muttered back at them, which caused them to recoil their arms off of me.

"We'll see," Kyoya simply said as his glasses seemed to gleam at the moment.

'Oh man, I hope he doesn't make me dress as a prisoner,' I thought in my head.
