Chapter Six: Kidnapped?
Italics: flashbacks, thoughts, Tamaki's inner mind
"Hi Haruhi," they said in unison, "we have clothes for you to try on," continuing to drag her to the limo. She didn't fight just took in a deep breath.
"Our new line is doing so well," Kaoru began, "however, we miss dressing you."
"Besides, you are going to need many pretty clothes for your role," Hikaru added. The driver opened the door. "Your character is supposed to be a very perky fashionable young lady," then Hikaru noted the clothes she had on, "and you are a bit plain," Haruhi glared at him.
"How did you know? When did you two idiots get here," she found herself inquiring as she felt herself fall backwards onto the soft cushions of the vehicle. Hikaru got in on the right, Kaoru the left.
"Just today," Kaoru answered, "we have a few new designs to show off here. We were hoping you model some of them."
"What!"
"Oh, Haruhi! You are so cute!" They exclaimed, rubbing against her, just like old times.
"Idiots what do you mean model, I can't. I got class, and…"
"A movie with milord," Hikaru finished, "We only want you to show off one of our designs. It's perfect for you!"
"Yes, we understand how busy you are. Besides, Hikaru's fiancée, Yoko is going to do most of the modeling,"
"Okay, where are we going, idiots?" Haruhi muttered. She crossed her arms and leaned back.
"To a show," Kaoru replied. The engine roared and the driver was off to fight with the traffic.
"Where the lord is," Hikaru added.
"Tamaki is on a show today? I didn't know." Haruhi looked a bit surprise with her big brown eyes gazing up at the twins.
"Of course not," one of the twins started followed by, "Then he wouldn't be…"
"A surprise guest," they both finished.
"Fine," she mumbled. She brightened up just a bit as she asked, "So how is Yoko?"
"She's fine," Hikaru replied. "She's staying at the house we have here. It's not too far out in the country."
"Rich bastards," Haruhi mumbled, "do you have a place to live in every country?"
"No of course not," they replied.
"We have five places in the states, several in European countries," Hikaru began. "Several in Japan of course," the other twin added.
"Rich bastards."
"Anyhow," Kaoru began. "How's the lord been?"
Haruhi got a thoughtful expression. "He's seems fine, but...I'm not sure," she admitted. "He did give up everything for awhile."
"You mean," the twins looked at her in disbelief as they stated it, "He was a commoner,"
Haruhi nodded her head.
"Oh we didn't know that. We assumed he had taken some of his money with him," Hikaru pointed out.
"Even if he had, like we thought," Kaoru observed. "It surely wouldn't have been enough to live off of. Even compared to a commoner, the money he owned himself wasn't much. Besides, this is milord we are talking about it, he probably didn't even think of that. He did just take off without a word."
"So Tamaki really…?" they questioned exchanging glances with each other.
"Got a job," Haruhi said with skepticism, "The world must have really been turned upside down." I wonder where did he work at?
The former Host King found himself being attack by some blonde chick. "Oh my love," Sharon shrilled. Arms were wrapped around his waist. It was kind of strange for Tamaki to be on the receiving end of his behaviors. He wasn't sure what to do.
"Oh lovely Sharon, where is Haruhi?" he inquired.
"Didn't she say not to stop by during the day, unless you wanted to be sure that we were alone," Sharon rubbed against him. I know he's Haruhi's but I still like to have my fun!
"Oh, Haruhi is not here? Oh my, she could have been kidnapped!" he cried out. He played the dramatic tragedy in his inner theater:
Haruhi is walking down the street looking extremely innocent. She is holding a cake she baked just for Tamaki. "Oh I hope Tamaki comes by today," she announced, "I made this lovely cake for him," she says with a giggle. Then all the sudden she is attacked by five huge men.
"Give me that cake!" they demand.
"No, no," she grasps her cake, "I made this for my love!" she whines as she holds tightly to the cake.
Tamaki shook his head. Haruhi would never giggle like that, and Haruhi would never make me a cake. He bitterly thought. Not surprising though, he didn't even consider that huge men probably wouldn't be interested in a cake made for him. Still, he thought she could have been… He began to walk back and forth. "Perhaps she was hit by a train!"
Sharon blinked. He is such a drama king! Haruhi mentioned something about that, oh well he's still hot. Anyway, how did he sleep not knowing where Haruhi was all the time? He is just freaking because she… Oh wait where was Haruhi?
"Uh, actually I have no clue where she is, she was supposed to be here an hour ago!" eyes widened as the realization came to her.
Tamaki shook her, full of worry, "Oh no, so she was kidnapped! Who would do such a cruel thing to my darling daughter?" He exclaimed, dramatics taking completely over.
"Oh no, you could be right," Sharon started running around the room, "Maybe we should call 911!"
"Yes we…," Tamaki began when he saw the door fall to the ground. He looked up to see one of his body guards and Lionel.
"Boss," Lionel announced approaching Tamaki, "time for the talk show," he grabbed an arm.
"But Haruhi is…,"
"We must go," he yanked on the blonde, Sharon latched onto the gorgeous actor.
"Let me go with! I'm Haruhi's friend they might kidnap me too!" she shrieked.
"Kidnapped?" Lionel shouted in panic, "who's kidnapped?"
"Haruhi, she's not here," Tamaki yelled in reply.
"I don't see why this is necessary?" Haruhi inquired looking down at the fifth outfit the twins had just made her try on. They were backstage of the Leah Show. Somehow the twins without much effort convince the crew to let them use pretty much whatever they wanted. The twins didn't need much, considering they seem to have brought out a whole wardrobe with them.
"It is not," Kaoru answered.
"We just like to dress you up," Hikaru added.
"Don't you look cute!" They exclaimed. Then circled around her, examining her up and down, "but not cute enough, hmm, maybe ah!" They looked to the other, then nodded in acknowledgement that they were thinking the same thing, "be right back." They came back with a short, black, and slightly flared out, skirt. Then Kaoru revealed a purple tank top with the word, "Cute" in light blue writing across the shirt.
"Perfect." The former Host Girl rolled her eyes. "Now, let's go find our seats," the twins stated each grabbing one of Haruhi's arms.
It took Lionel a minute to realize nobody was in real danger and that Tamaki was blowing the situation out of proportion. He calmly grabbed him by his shirt collar, then drug him outside. Sharon managed to stay latched on to her Idol. The Host King had fought all the way down to the limo. The guards tried not to burst into laughter. Though, they were used to his antics, but lately, they were worse and more entertaining.
Yanking Tamaki out of the limo, Lionel got stern with him, "Straighten up boss, you got an interview!"
"Right," his serious mode kicked in for only a second until he found himself wondering, "but Haruhi still could…"
"If I don't find her within the hour you could announce it on national television." Lionel suggested, almost instantly regretting it. No doubt, the blonde model would really do it.
"Alright, the show must go on, let's go." With that, he was led into the studio. Once he entered, pretty women were more than happy to help him. They latched onto him, dragging the handsome blonde into the dressing room. Sharon had tried to follow Tamaki, but Lionel quickly had her escorted to a seat out in front.
The young lady doing Tamaki's hair seemed to take a longer time then needed. She really appeared to enjoy the feel of his blonde strands. Finally the makeup lady yanked her by the collar and threw her out. "Fan girls," she complained. Then she quickly did her job, and left. After that, Lionel came over to him. He explained everything he should say and not. Tamaki just nodded, not listening. His thoughts were warped out of concern for Haruhi.
The twins and Haruhi grabbed seats close to the front. She sighed, waiting for Leah, the talk show host, to come out. She sat with her arms crossed, and noted Sharon was here. That surprised her. What wasn't such a big surprise was Renge, but the girl she had with her.
"Yoko!" Hikaru cheerfully called a slight smile appearing on his face. So this is his fiancée? She looks so much better in person, and she looked amazing in the pictures.
"What's this? Have you gone in fallen in love with some other girl Hikaru?" she teased. The girl had long black hair, and dark eyes. She was a curvy, without a doubt full-blooded gorgeous Japanese woman.
"You know nobody is cuter than you," Hikaru latched onto her bringing her to his lap, "Ah I missed you." He nuzzled against her. Then he gazes deeply into her eyes, and then he places a soft kiss on her lips.
"Not as much as I missed my honey," she remarked snuggling up against him, "but hmm…" she looked over to what Haruhi was wearing, a frown appeared.
"What's wrong my love?"
"You…" she pouted, "dressed her up!" Haruhi wondered if she was jealous. She was their main model, "I…you know how I love to do makeup!"
"Ah my love," he said softly before gently bringing a hand to her face, "forgive me," he pleaded. The looks he usually gave his twin were now given to the beautiful model.
"Forgiven," she kissed him on the lips.
"Are they always like that?" Haruhi wondered with amazement.
Kaoru sighed. Then nodded his head, before adding, "Sometimes worse I believe."
When a lady appeared on center stage, the audience burst into clapping. The woman was wearing a red suit. Her hair was long wavy, and brown. She had bright blue eyes, along with a huge pearly white grin. "Hello, I'm Leah Andrews and welcome to the show," she announced once the applause had died down. "Today is a good day, as you know, well especially for me," she winked. The audience watched her with extreme interest. Haruhi just prayed Leah wasn't some fan girl in disguise, "For I believe we have the hottest…" the host started down the stage, "the sexiest…" then was front and center of the viewers. "And surprisingly one of the nicest men, well, in America, and Japan, probably the world, ladies and gentlemen, ESPECIALLY, Tamaki Suoh!" She squealed and the audience burst out into an even louder applause than before. Several girls squealed with joy, "Excuse my fan girl squeal," Leah laughed.
Tamaki had appeared from backstage. He waited for Leah to come back up on the stage. She sat down, "Please grace me by sitting down," she instructed as she indicated the chair with a move of her hand.
He straightened his jacket crossed his legs then gave his famous Host Club smile. This earning him tons of delightful shrieks, after this he scanned the audience. A wonderful surprise was in his view, "Haruhi!" he joyfully called.
"Oh bother," Haruhi grumbled.
"Excuse me?" Leah blinked her eyes, "Haruhi? Is that some kind of Japanese word I don't know of?"
"Haruhi," some random person called out. "Isn't that the girl who was on TV with you a couple days ago?"
Tamaki tried to think of something quick to say, but nothing was coming to mind.
"Wait, please tell us, I heard about her. Is she your lover?" Leah pried.
"No, of course not," Tamaki blushed. I wish.
"Oh well, who is she?" a voice in the audience called out.
"A dear friend of his, one of the many he left behind," a cold voice announced. All eyes turned towards a cool looking tall handsome man who was currently adjusting his glasses.
Haruhi muttered, "Should have known he would come from out of nowhere," Leah turned her attention over to him. His confidence didn't waver, but the host was astonishing. This man was almost as handsome as Tamaki.
"Mr. Suoh, do you know this man?" she asked after she regained some of her composure.
"Hi Mom," Tamaki said causing a wave of confusion to hit the audience.
"Uh, um commercial," the host said in an almost pleading voice.
