...
Shiki came to the elementary school and looked around for Zaruko. She passed by the classrooms and saw her through one of the windows. After a few moments Zaruko felt she was being watched and looked around to meet Shiki's eye. Shiki smiled and waved, but Nao only looked away. She sighed and walked away, sadly running her fingers through her hair. Shiki cleared her throat, trying to shake her feelings away and headed back towards the high school.
As she came back on to the high school campus, she saw Haruhi walking past with a shopping bag.
"Oh Hi Shiki," she said when she saw her.
"Whats that?" She asked, pointing to it.
"Just some instant coffee," said Haruhi, "you want to come to the club room for some?"
"I"m okay." Shiki said.
"You sure about that?" Haruhi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It doesn't matter." Shiki shrugged, turning to walk away.
"Um, I should mention Tamaki-Sempai asked me to get your favorite flavor in case you did decide to come by," said Haruhi.
"The moron did what?" Shiki asked. "How did even find out what my favorite flavor was?"
"How do you think? How does he find out anything?" Haruhi asked.
"Oh, his little four-eyed, puppet master," said Shiki.
"How the hell does he know that anyways? It's not like the CIA puts on my background what type of coffee I like or something."
"Who knows," Haruhi said. Shiki sighed.
"I bet it's not NanaNanaCoco." Shiki said dismissively, rummaging through the bag and sure enough there was a bag of NanaNanaCoco coffee with the little monkey hugging a coffee bean on the bag. Shiki glared at the familiar mascot, unamused by his typically charming smile. But NanaNanaCoco though...
"Well his just gonna bug the shit out of me if I don't go so whatever!" she said with a look of annoyance on her face, throwing her hands up and letting out an exasperated sigh.
'You can just admit you want to come you know' Haruhi thought to herself, smiling a little as Shiki walked ahead of her.
"Why was idiot doing such a thing anyway?" Shiki asked.
"He's starting to think that the whole reason you're so mad at us is because we haven't been as hospitable to you lately," said Haruhi.
"Whats he talking about? You guys are a hell of a lot nicer to me than you should be, especially him considering I beat him up all the time I have no clue why he doesn't hate me. Well except Hikaru, I actually am pissed at him." Shiki said, getting upset again.
"Well, let's just say there's something about you everybody likes, despite everything," said Haruhi, "plus Tamaki-Sempai still wants to help you,"
"I mean I know I'm fantastic but really you guys are just getting clingy," Shiki joked as they entered the club room.
"You found Coffee AND Shi-chan!" Hunny cheered.
"She's just that amazing," said Shiki.
"Shiki, hello! Welcome back!" Tamaki exclaimed.
"If you hadn't found my NanaNanaCoco Coffee I probably wouldn't be here so you can thank Toffee the Coffee Monkey."
"Toffee the naughty monkey?" Kaoru asked, raising an eyebrow
"COFFEE. HES A COFFEE MONKEY." Shiki shouted, holding the bag defensively.
"Tamaki and I did a lot of the work of finding out what your favorite coffee was too you know. I don't recall 'Toffee' offering us any assistance." Kyoya said.
"He only speaks to those who listen. Sounds to me like you weren't believing hard enough." Shiki said as a matter of factly.
"Do we have to clap our hands and say I do believe in Toffee if someone says he doesn't exist?" Hikaru asked. Shiki gave no indication that she'd heard him speak at all.
"Um did you hear me?" Hikaru asked as Shiki dug through the bag that Haruhi brought.
"This one yours?" Shiki asked Hunny, holding a Birthday Cake flavored coffee, yet again neglecting to hear Hikaru.
"How did you know?!" Hunny's mouth gaped open.
"I'm a psychic." She said, looking back into the bag and then asking Haruhi. "Damn how many bags did you get? They're paying you back right?"
"She charged it to the host club's account." Kyoya said.
"Yeah we'd never make Haruhi pay for so much stuff when it's for us." Hikaru said.
"That would be a jerk move if you guys were to make Haruhi pay for all that stuff, especially since it's for us rich people." Shiki said.
"Uh that's what I just said?" Hikaru pointed out. When Shiki lifted her head up she didn't even make eye contact with him, she was refusing to even acknowledge him at all. It was as if she were looking right through him."Are you ignoring me on purpose?"
"You've always been the smarter twin, haven't you?" Kaoru noted sarcastically.
Shiki walked over and patted Kaoru's head. "Kaoru, you got to start taking better care of yourself. The way you're getting on, one would think your shadow was a copy of you!" She said still stroking his head. "You're eating right and everything? You know what you should do? I should treat you to dinner at some nice casual restaurant so I can make sure you get a decent meal for a change."
"Uhh I'm feeling fine, I'm not so sure about you though?" Kaoru said, hoping that it only felt like he was blushing.
"I'm fine, just a little lonely I guess. So how's your puppy by the way?" Shiki asked, still leaning in close to him. She stared at him intensely, twirling her hair with her finger, appearing as though puppies were the last thing on her mind.
"Um, s-she's doing well." He stammered, not sure how to react now that the tables had been turned, knowing any hopes of him not blushing had gone and jumped off a cliff.
"Lonely? It's because you're living in that house all alone isn't it?!" Tamaki said, rushing over to her.
"You could say that," Shiki said, trying not lose her temper.
"Oh poor Shiki!" Tamaki said trying to run to her.
"Don't touch me!" Shiki warned.
"Oops, sorry," said Tamaki, quickly backing off.
"Good boy," Shiki said sounding like she was talking to a dog.
"I know, I'll make you you're coffee!" He said, dashing off.
"Wow, look how smart and genuine he is. You sure don't see that much nowadays huh?" Shiki said.
"You're kidding me." Hikaru rolled his eyes, annoyed. "What the hell's your problem?"
"Call me crazy, but I'd assume she's upset with you." Kyoya reflected
"Who's upset with who?" Shiki asked Kyoya, seeming to be confused and like she didn't hear Hikaru's half of the conversation.
"It was nothing, she's over reacting!" Hikaru insisted.
"Haruhi was mentioning something about Shiki and Hikaru basically called her stupid." Kaoru explained.
"Shoot her in the shoulder no big deal, call her stupid and she flips her shit. Pssh, some badass." He scoffed.
"Haurhi, why doesn't Shiki let me hug her?" Tamaki asked as he helped prepare everyone's coffee.
"Well she really doesn't let anyone hug her to be fair." Haruhi pointed out.
"Yeah I guess you're right," he said, looking over at the group arguing.
"Oh yeah. That. I've forgotten about him." At that, Shiki walked up behind Kaoru and slipped her good arm around his waist, and rested her bad arm's hand on one shoulder and her chin on the other and in an alluring voice that gave him goosebumps she told him: "Right now, I'm just focused on you."
"Uh okay, if you want to," Kaoru said sheepishly.
"Kaoru, you look sick! Come here and lay down," Shiki said leading him to a couch and making him rest his head on her lap.
"Anyone want coffee?!" Haruhi said loudly, trying to break the tension as she slammed the tray onto the table.
"Oh me-" Hunny said, hopping down off of Mori's back to get some but Hikaru ignored Haruhi's offer in heat of his rage.
"I know you're faking it, you'd never actually do that." Hikaru sneered. "What are you trying to do, make me jealous or something? You've got a pretty big head, I mean honestly, how could anyone like you?"
The room got quiet, and Shiki froze in place.
"Hikaru!" Tamaki scolded in disgust. Shiki shoved Kaoru's head off of her and stood up. Her face was completely blank of any emotion.
"I've decided I don't want coffee anymore... someone else can have it." With that she quietly left the room, closing the door behind her.
