Chapter 2
Witchcraft Spells
"What do you think of this unfortunate situation?" Nadeshiko asked her sister.
They were planning on "kidnapping" Haruhi today so they may perform a spell on her. It was going to help Haruhi regain her memories.
"Unfortunate it is, indeed," Barako commented. "But I can't help but think. If your memories are gone, does that mean your feelings are, too? I would like to see how this tale shall end up now."
"How so, sister?"
"Even though Haruhi has lost her memories of Tamaki, her feelings for him should still remain. It will certainly cloud up her thinking," The brunette explained.
Nadeshiko blushed and smiled. "Oh, that's love. A young lady's heart is full of complex emotions."
"Here it is. Apartment 203."
Both girls knocked on the door at the same time. As expected, Haruhi answered the door.
"May I help you?" The commoner asked.
"Yes, we found your wallet." Barako replied. She withdrew a common brown wallet from her pocket.
"My wallet?"
The commoner quizzically stared down at the wallet as Barako passed it to her. The ring that the brunette was wearing suddenly triggered, spraying a white gas in Haruhi's face. The girl quickly fell unconscious and into Nadeshiko's arms. Barako waved to her cousins down below. Hikaru and Kaoru quickly ran up the stairs. They gently carried Haruhi to their car. All four got inside and the car began to drive towards Ouka High School.
"So what are you going to do to Haruhi?" Kaoru asked.
"It's only a spell. It won't hurt her," The blond answered coolly.
"You both must really be descended from witches, or just plain crazy," Hikaru muttered.
"Perhaps we are a little crazy and descended from witches, but if that is the case, then you are too," Barako countered. "We're here."
The car stopped in front of the school. The gate was open and an array of voices could be heard in the direction of the pool and inside the school.
"The swim team and the basketball team practice on Sundays regularly," The twins stated. "Let's get Haruhi inside to the Chemistry Prep Room."
Hikaru and Kaoru slowly carried Haruhi into the school. It was hard to carry a person. They should have asked Mori to do the grunt work instead. Ouka High School was bigger than most regular high schools, but not as big as Ouran, of course. They brought Haruhi to Ouka High's west wing and inside the Chemistry Prep Room.
This room is completely different! The twins thought as they entered it. (The room was modeled to fit the Kuronuma twins' tastes.)
"Just lay Haruhi on that couch over there," The brunette directed. She pointed to the couch as she looked through the bookshelves. Their cousins did what they were told.
"Now what?" Hikaru asked.
"Get out," Barako ordered, "and wait for us outside."
"Sure thing!" Both twins scrambled to get out of the room. The only thing they were scared of was Nadeshiko and Barako and their crazy hocus-pocus.
"And don't go wandering around the school! The spell shouldn't take too long!" Nadeshiko added to their retreating backs.
The door closed.
"Have you found the spell yet?" Nadeshiko asked.
"Yes."
Barako brought the spell book with her as both twins sat on the edge of the coffee table. Barako laid her hands on Haruhi's head and Nadeshiko put a hand over Haruhi's heart.
"Distant hearts, when rejoined as one, may find the light within," Nadeshiko began.
"Memories of far away, lost among dark day – those strayed and scattered, fall into place," Barako added.
"Now remember of days gone by."
Both girls removed their hands from Haruhi's head and heart.
The twins smiled and said quietly, "Remember, Haruhi. Trust what you remember, and seek what you forgot."

"So you performed the spell. Now what?" Tamaki asked.
Everyone in the Host Club excluding Kyoya and the Kuronuma twins were gathered in the Third Music Room. This also included Hunny and Mori.
"We told you before that memories are linked together like a chain. If you set off one memory, it will set of another, and it will keep going on," Nadeshiko explained.
"At what point does her memory end?" Barako asked.
Tamaki and the twins looked at each other.
"The doctor said they end at her junior high days," Hikaru answered.
"Then begin with the memories of when she first met you," The girls replied.
"So you're saying that all her memories have to be reenacted?" Satoshi questioned.
"Something like that," Barako said.
"Or maybe just the beginnings of them," Nadeshiko suggested.
"If that is the case," Kaoru began, "then we have to break another vase by Rune that will cost 80,000 yen?"
"What are you talking about, Kaoru?" his twin asked.
"You are really slow, Hikaru," Yasuchika commented viciously.
Hikaru grabbed Yasuchika's cheek and began to pull it. "Say that again, Chika?"
"What Kao-chan is trying to say is that if Haruhi manages to break another vase, it will trigger her memory about her beginnings in the Host Club!" Hunny solved.
"Oh…" Tamaki and Hikaru chorused. They placed their fist in their other hand. "I'm convinced."
"Maybe not an expensive vase, but a cheap replica should do," Satoshi pointed out.
They all became silent as they began to think.
"What other things could we reenact?" the Hitachiin twins asked.
"Do you think I should act like an idiot in front of Haruhi?" Tamaki asked.
"Uh, milord, I wouldn't do that. That would only degrade her opinion of you," The twins answered dully.
Tamaki quickly slunk into his corner of woe.
"We're…we're sorry…"
The Kuronuma twins stood up.
"We have done our part. We shall leave the matter of Haruhi's memories in your hands now," They said.
"Wait a minute! You're not going to help us?" Satoshi asked.
"We already helped you," Nadeshiko corrected.
"And besides, this should only be done by the ones who know Haruhi the best," Barako added.
"If you need help with some other matter, you where to find us," They said in unison. "Or you can contact us through Nanami if you want to."
"Good luck, boys."
The girls left the room. As they walked down the empty hallways, the girls looked at each other.
"Do you want to spy on them again?" Barako asked.
"Of course. We have to see that our couple gets back together," Nadeshiko answered. The girl giggled. "Lost memories, and possible remaining feelings…this is sure to be a most dramatic show!"
Updated again! I'm proud of myself for not slacking off just yet. But...in about two weeks from now, expect slower updates. I'll have a new video game and I'll be playing it non-stop. Sorry!
Anyway, I'm trying to think of a good ending for the story. I have about two in mind, but I'll have to decide later. I have no clue how long this story will run. I'll just play with it as I go along and I'll see where it gets me. Thanks for reading!
