Note: I looked on a website to get this information because I haven't read the book. It's not exactly correctly worded either, for I chose to use more common phrases to fit the scenes, and I changed a name to it's Greek version.

The Eighteenth Day Also Known As The Day of The Play

Talking about the play relieved Kaoru and Hikaru of their fighting.

"It's nice to see them talking again," A couple girls and even some guys told the Host Club. They agreed, the fighting between the two had started to break their hearts. No one was sure how much more of that they could've taken without a break.

"You're so dumb," Kaoru hissed as Hikaru tried to show Kaoru how to do his chemistry.

"Excuse me for trying to save your life," Hikaru replied, sarcastically. "You could mix the wrong chemicals and then the next you know -BOOM- You're dead."

Kaoru smiled.

"Yeah..."

No fan girls squealed, no one yelled, no teachers scolded. Every one was glad that the two were even looking at eachother again. No one wanted to ruin it.

"So, who's who in this play?" The twins questioned as they walked in.

Kyoya showed them the list he made.

Hikaru - Romeo

Kaoru - Juliet

Tamaki - Juliet's Father, The Friars

Kyoya - Juliet's Mother

Mori - Romeo's Mother, Benvolio

Hunny - Romeo's Father, the Nurse

Haruhi - Rosaline, Paris

Renge - Servant

Not Seen But Spoken Of Characters - Mercutio, Tybalt, The Prince

Hikaru frowned. "Can't this wait until another day? I don't think I'm ready to kiss Kaoru yet."

Kyoya shook his head, "Of course not, everyone's expecting it to be today."

"Yeah, Hikaru. I can't wait," Kaoru teased as he hopped over. "It should be fun. We figured out at Haruhi's that I make a pretty girl, Ranka agreed to come dress me for the play."

Hikaru frowned again, but he nodded. "If you really want to."

Tamaki walked up to them, shaking his head. "You guys better do good at this, my dad's coming."

Kyoya raised his eyebrow. "Really now? Then you better hope we do well."

The twins held eachother's hand and Kaoru stared at Hikaru and blushed as he remembered the way Hikaru's tongue felt. Only, it was just a dream, Hikaru's tongue felt more rough in surface. Why am I thinking about Hikaru's tongue? He's my brother.

Eventually, Haruhi came back with her father and they took Kaoru off to get him dressed up.

Hikaru's stomach churned as he noticed his parents.

What are they doing here? Hikaru worried.

"I told them about the play," Kyoya replied. "Kaoru will appreciate it, I'm sure."

"What about me?" Hikaru scowled.

"Hmm?"

"Nevermind."

Hikaru sighed and went off and got into his costume.

"This... is gonna suck," Hikaru told himself as he got dressed. He imagined Kaoru, standing there in a dress. "Kaoru isn't a very pretty girl now that I think about it. He's obviously much more pretty as a boy."

Hikaru groaned as he pulled his coat on.

"Why did Shakespeare have to have such a bad taste in fashion?" Hikaru moaned.

Of course, it's not that the outfit wasn't pretty, it's just that the twins hated small places. They hurt and were boring, so naturally they began to hate anything small. They did everything big, even their pretend fights.

"In this tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, you will see the story of these two young lovers of opposing families fall in love with eachother," Kyoya explained. He smiled and took a deep and graceful bow. "You can only guess who the main characters are. I did set the cast in your bulliten, however, so if you really don't get it, look in there."

Mori and Hunny walked out and bowed down.

"I can't remember if we show up, but I'm Romeo's Daddy!" Hunny greeted.

"Romeo's Mother," Mori responded.

The two trotted off stage.

"I'm here to report that a fight between the some of the Capulets and Montagues," Renge replied as she stepped on stage, in a fantastic otaku outfit only she could make a news reporter wear. "It was settled by the Princes warning of a death penalty for any further fighting. Now, I've also heard that fair Romeo-kun was..."

A slap was heard and Renge continued, "...Romeo is going to meet his friend, Benvolio."

"What was that?" Hikaru whispered to a nearby person.

"I had to get her into shape," Came Kyoya's harsh voice. "This is an English play, not a Japanese."

"What's wrong?" Mori asked as he stood onstage.

Hikaru gulped and starting to walk out.

"Oh... it's nothing really, it's just that the beautiful Maiden Rosaline has denied my love," Hikaru sighed as he walked out and stood in front of Mori. He felt nervous as he stood there, staring at Mori. Mori was supposed to be his friend, but he wasn't sure if Mori'd gotten any sleep the night before.

"Oh, she did?" Mori asked, with emotion in his voice.

Kyoya must REALLY want money. Hikaru thought, not knowing that Mori was infact ordered by Hunny and Kyoya to be as much of an actor as possible. Especially if it meant going out of character.

"Yes, her exact words were, 'I'll not be hit with Cupid's arrow, for I have Aretemis' wit,'" Hikaru sighed again.

How did I remember that?

Mori shrugged, "Then examine other beauties."

Hikaru waved his hand at Mori as he began to walk away, "You cannot teach me to forget my beauty, Rosaline."

The curtain fell and quickly, the stage was changed to a street.

"Hey, Romeo!" Mori called as the curtains were starting to draw back. "Did you see the invitations? There's a party!"

"Oh, wonderful," Hikaru groaned as he walked up and took the invitation, looking over it. "Why should I care? It's a Capulet's party, isn't it?"

Mori nodded. "But Rosaline will be there."

Hikaru shot up, like he was told to. "Really?"

So, Mori nodded.

Hikaru smiled brightly. "We're going."

Again the scene changed, and Hikaru groaned in relief as he wasn't involved. He ran off to get some water.

He drank deeply from the water bottle Haruhi had given him.

"Hikaru!" Haruhi called quietly as she ran over, looking beautiful in her dress. Hikaru blushed and nodded. "You did so well."

"Y-yeah..."

"You gonna go watch Kaoru? We did a good job dressing him up, he's really pretty," Haruhi laughed.

I can't imagine Kaoru as a pretty girl.

Hikaru nodded. "After I drink this. Let's just listen for now."

They listened, but Hikaru only caught words about marriage, for he was obsessing over how melodious and smooth Kaoru's voice was.

"It's so beautiful," Hikaru whispered.

"Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days," Hunny's voice finally broke through Hikaru's barrier of thought.

"We decided to skip the next scene," Kyoya's voice came. "I will tell you what it is though, it was Romeo talking to another one of his friends, about love. You may remember this quote, 'If love be rough with you, be rough with love. Prick love for pricking and you beat love down.'"

Hikaru was told to get on stage, so he did, everyone was in their positions. Hikaru noticed something, Haruhi was nearby in her beautiful dress. Hikaru noticed something else. There was a beautiful person in a lovely dress with beautiful hair, too short for a Juliet. Oh, they were beautiful in Hikaru's eyes. Perhaps even an angel. At that point, it didn't matter to Hikaru if he might go off script, he needed to know who that lovely creature was.

"Who is the lady that enriches the hand of that night?" Hikaru asked his line, not sure if that was even who he was supposed to be addressing. He forgot who his lines were supposed to be directed to.

"I don't know," Renge replied. "I am but a servant."

"Oh! She teaches the torches to burn bright. It seems as if she hangs upon the cheek of night! Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear; beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, as yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, and, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand," Hikaru recited from what he remembered, messing up a few words and phrases. "Did my heart love until now? I never saw true beauty before this night."

Hikaru walked up to the person, still holding his breath.

By God, who is this? Who switched places with Kaoru? Did Kaoru get sick?

Hikaru ignored his next few lines and went straight to kissing the persons hand, for he was afraid that if they talked, their beauty would be ruined.

The person blushed and replied, "You kiss by the book."

Hikaru raised his head slightly. It was Kaoru!

He was about to speak out of line when Hunny came and took Kaoru's hand.

"The queen requests her daughter, immediately," Hunny responded.

Everyone left the stage and Kaoru stood alone with Hunny.

"Who was that pilgrim?" Kaoru asked, in that sweet melodic voice.

Hikaru blushed as he imagined kissing that mouth again. This would be different, this would be infront of people.

"It was none other than Romeo. The only son of your great enemy," Hunny replied.

"I must love a loathed enemy."

There was a slight break inbetween the two acts. Everyone was a buzzing.

"Did you see how cute Kaoru-kun was?" A couple girls squealed.

Hikaru ran over to Kyoya, "Where's my brother?"

"Your sister? Why, I do not know, but she could be going up into the tower for the next Act," Kyoya replied. "You must climb the tower."

"You want me to do what?" Hikaru spat.

"If you want a kiss from Kaoru," Kyoya teased.

Hikaru scowled and nodded his head.

"Can't I just wait beside the tower?" Hikaru suggested.

Kyoya smiled. "Oh, so you do know the storyline, eh? I was hoping I'd get you to do some back breaking work, but I guess I can't trick the twins."

Hikaru cussed under his breath and shook his head. He walked off and started walking to the tower that he must've figured Kaoru was in. Actually, he knew Kaoru was in it from his sense. He couldn't forget where his loved ones were anymore.

Kaoru walked forward and peered out the window.

Let me take a moment to describe how Kaoru looked, it's not that hard to imagine Hikaru for he looks not much different then his formal outfit at the Party close to the end of the year. Kaoru's orangish hair hung down on the sides of his face as usual. The dress was a lavendarish pink with white lace in the down the middle of the front. A crimson red ribbon tied around the stomach and Kaoru's hair was slick and straight, falling down and framing his face in layers. Truly a beautiful sight to Hikaru's eyes. Only an okama could make a lovely male this beautiful as a woman.

"It is the east, and Juliet is the sun," Hikaru was tempted to say, "and Kaoru is my sun," but he knew Kyoya would beat him for even trying to say that. Hikaru leaned against the tower and stared up at Kaoru's beautiful face and smiled. "Please sun, rise. Kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief, for Juliet is prettier than she."

Hikaru was starting to like this play. Everything he was saying he meant with all of his heart.

Kaoru shook his head and leaned forward on his ledge in the dimness of the room. "Oh Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?"

Hearing Kaoru's voice longing for him made Hikaru blush and hold his breath even more. I'm right here, come down here and we'll ditch this joint. I got other plans in store for you, my darling.

"Deny your father and your family's name, or if you will not, if you swear your love to me, I will not longer be a Capulet," Kaoru replied, in that beautiful flowing tone again. He really did sound just like a women. Only prettier.

It is final, Kaoru could never be a woman, he has too much magic to be one. Hikaru decided.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would be just as sweet," Kaoru sighed as his eyes gleamed as he stared out the window. Kaoru shuddered and looked around as he heard Hikaru whisper something from his lines. "Who's there?"

"'Tis I, Romeo," Hikaru responded.

"Do you realize the trouble you could get into?" Kaoru scowled, losing his lovey dovey attitude.

Hikaru smiled. "Think it matters to me? I could listen to you talk all night, my fair maiden. As long as it is your tongue speaking."

Kaoru smiled back but scolded, "You're a foolish boy."

"Foolish, may I be, but I love you Juliet, know that to be true. My darling, I wish to marry you."

Kaoru blushed and smiled lightly as Hikaru said this with a true happy smile on his own face.

I know these are just words for a play, but I have never felt happier in my life to hear someone that word, Kaoru thought as he stared at Hikaru.

I've never been happier to say it, neither, Hikaru replied, shocking Kaoru.

Kaoru stared in disbelief. I didn't think you could hear me!

This was all covered up by the shouts and squeals of the females in the crowd. Even Renge squealed, but the rest of the Club just stared and smiled, happy to see their twins back together again.

"It was a great idea that Hikaru suggested it," Kyoya replied.

"I will send you a messenger tomorrow, tell them and they will come back to me," Kaoru shouted as he began to stand straight.

Hikaru smiled. "Anything for you."

The curtains fell again and Hikaru felt like kissing Kaoru right there.

Screw the script.

He was about to shout that to Kaoru and add that they should just run off right then when Kyoya appeared onto the stage.

"Why aren't you two moving?"

Hikaru was about to protest when Kaoru walked away.

Then the scene completely changed to that of a church or something. Hikaru didn't know. He saw Tamaki though, who was also known as Juliet's father, which he found rather funny. He should be Rosaline's father.

"Our Romeo has not been in bed tonight?" Tamaki questioned as Hikaru walked up to him at his table with herbs spread out on the table. The curtains had already gone up.

Hikaru laughed, "Actually, I have not gone to sleep yet tonight. I fell in love with Juliet and I was at her side this whole night long, I wish to request a marriage between us. Of course, if that wouldn't be too much trouble for you to do."

"What happened to Rosaline?" Tamaki asked in a tone of voice he'd expect himself or Kyoya to use.

"I've always been known for doting, not loving," Hikaru explained, blushing.

"I guess this could be good, this could possibly end the fighting between your families... fine, I must warn you of something however," Tamaki agreed then quickly added something in. Hikaru was thinking of how this kind of fit Tamaki. "Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast."

Hikaru laughed and nodded, "I know, I know."

The scene changed to a street again and Hikaru stood with Mori as Hunny ran up.

"Romeo?" He asked.

Hikaru tried not to laugh as he realized Hunny was dressed as a female.

"Yes, that 'tis me," Hikaru responded, finally regaining his composure.

"Will this afternoon work for the marriage?"

Hikaru stopped and thought. He nodded. "Yes, that would work quite well."

Then, on queue, Hikaru hands Hunny a bundle of ropes. Hunny nods, understanding that he knows what they're for.

Hikaru chuckled along with everyone else as the bundle was almost as big as Hunny was.

A flaw... Hikaru would tease Kyoya later.

"What's taking her so long?" Kaoru worried as he paced back and forth. "It's taken her two and a half more hours than she said she'd need!"

"Oh, sorry Milady," Hunny apologized as he ran in and set the bundle of ropes down. "You two are to be married tonight in the cell of Friar Laurence."

That's what happened. ((I apologize, that's basically all the information the website gave me about the marriage between them.))

While the characters and cast were taking their break and setting up for the next Act, Kyoya and Renge explained something to the crowd.

"Well, Benvolio and Mercutio met up with Tybalt, and got into a fight. Tybalt killed Mercutio and in revenge, Romeo killed Tybalt. By doing so, Romeo was banished from Verona and if he came back he would be executed," The two explained. "Romeo is to meet Juliet, for she is planning to go suicide. When Romeo threatens to kill himself, it becomes that much more important for him to see her."

"She must be married to Paris," Kyoya explained to Tamaki.

Tamaki shrugged, "I guess she must. There's no other choice. When shall the wedding be?"

"Thursday."

Haruhi tried to act happy.

She stood up and skipped off happily.

"I get the fair maiden I get the fair maiden!" Haruhi chimed as she skipped.

There was a LONG scene change, and Hikaru and Kaoru lay down in a bed together in the scene.

"Just as comfy as our one at home," Hikaru cooed as he lay next to Kaoru, his shirt off. Kaoru still had the dress on, to stay as a pretty girl. Hikaru kissed Kaoru's neck, happy to finally be able to touch the object of his affection in that lovely dress. "Isn't it?"

Kaoru smiled, "Shh, the scene's starting."

The moment the curtains raised, millions of loud squeals spread through the whole room. Some of the males and adults had to plug their ears from the noise.

"Mmm," Kaoru whined as he struggled under Hikaru's arms. "What's wrong, Romeo?"

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"The lark," Hikaru whispered. "I'm supposed to leave before morning."

"BUT-" Kaoru started to protest as he rolled over, actually not wanting Hikaru to leave their bed without him. "That was a nightingale, not a lark."

Hikaru kissed Kaoru's forehead. "I must be gone and live, or stay and die."

Kaoru wrapped his arms around Hikaru and stared into his eyes.

"I swear, it's not morning yet!"

Hikaru smiled and kissed Kaoru's forehead yet again. "Let me be taken, let me be put to death."

Kaoru snuggled his head into the croon of Hikaru's neck and Hikaru held Kaoru close. Then something unexpected happened, Hunny walked into the scene. It wasn't unexpected by the means of the book, but no one wanted the lovely scene to end. The males took Kaoru to be a girl since he looked so much as one that they even were enjoying the scene and didn't want it to end.

"You're mother's coming," Hunny warned.

Hikaru took that as enough and he sat up and crawled out of bed and grabbed his shirt and put it on.

Kaoru sat up as well and waved good-bye to him, and he began sobbing. He asked Hikaru, even though he was gone, "Do you think we will ever meet again?"

"Are you still crying over Tybalt?" Kyoya asked as he walked into the scene.

Juliet shook her head. "I love him. I love the villian, Romeo."

Kyoya pretended not to notice that, "Don't worry, darling! Soon you will marry Paris! Maybe, while we are at it, we'll poison Romeo in his new home to avenge Tybalt."

"I will not marry Paris."

"Tell that to your father yourself then."

Kyoya called to Tamaki and Tamaki came walking in.

"What's this I hear?" Tamaki scowled. This... really didn't fit Tamaki at all.

"I will not marry Paris!" Kaoru objected.

"You will!" Tamaki told her. "Even if I have to drag you straight up to the altar!"

"Please, Daddy!" Kaoru whimpered. "Please don't make me!"

"I control this issue!" Tamaki shouted. "If you will not listen to me I will disown you! Don't think I won't!"

With that, Tamaki left the stage.

"If you do not delay the wedding by at least weeks or months, there will be another corpse found like Tybalt's," Kaoru hissed.

Kyoya shook his head and left.

Kaoru shook his head. "If none of this works out, there's one thing that will cheer me up. I'll just kill myself."

It turns to a scene where Haruhi is talking to Tamaki about the marriage.

"To Thursday?" Tamaki discovers. "I thought it was much later."

"Nope!" Haruhi tried to sound chipper.

"I see..."

"My Juliet is quiet depressed. She's still upset over Tybalt's death," Haruhi explained.

Kaoru walks onto the stage.

"Ah! My lovely Juliet!" Haruhi chimed as she walked over to Kaoru. "It's so nice to see you."

"It's not nice to see you," Kaoru scowled. "Leave me alone, you wretched creature."

"I see, you came to admit your love for me?" Haruhi laughed.

"Go away," Kaoru snapped.

"Still bitter over Tybalt, I see."

Haruhi shrugged and walked away. Then Kaoru told Tamaki about his thoughts of suicide.

"I have a better idea, how about you fake death?"

The two talked over the plan and Kaoru nodded.

So it comes about, the wedding between Juliet and Paris was moved ahead to Wednseday, and Juliet had successfully drank the potion and was lying asleep, taken to be dead. There was meant to be a funeral instead of a wedding. News of this came to Romeo and he risked his life to see her again, buying poison at an Apothecary.

Romeo comes to her, and Paris thinks he is mistreating Juliet's grave and fights him.

Hikaru fake kills Haruhi and places her next to Kaoru's body. He sobs and drinks the poison ((Which is actually some chemicals Hikaru put together to make whoever drinks it unconcious for about 5 minutes)).

"Romeo?" Kaoru whines as he sits up after he felt Hikaru's lips on his. Of course, there was a few squeals, but not many.

Kaoru sobbed as he saw Hikaru laying, dead. Of course, they were fake tears and Hikaru was faking death, but the scene was quite emotional. Kaoru leaned over and kissed Hikaru passionately and taken some of the chemicals off of Hikaru's lips and pretended to stab himself as the chemicals kicked in.

With the lights so dim, Nekozawa decided that he'd take the role of the prince. Kyoya, Tamaki, Mori, and Hunny arrive with Nekozawa and stared at the scene before them. Nekozawa had no cloak on, so everyone was wondering who "the cute guy" on the stage was. Haruhi took the role of the Friar. ((How Haruhi ended up there is a mystery, even to me... it's just magic, you know?))

Haruhi explained what all had happened, and Nekozawa scolded the four men. Harshly. That ended their feud, once and for all.

"For never was a story of more woe than this is of Juliet and her Romeo," Nekozawa concluded for everyone.

Lex's POV

I really don't know what to say. I'm speechless as to how the Host Club could make this all look so real! It's amazing!

I guess I can't really say anything more.

...One thing bugs me though, this tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet...

Could it possibly actually relate to the twins more than anyone realizes?
