Hey guys… Sorry it's been so long…I've been pretty busy and it's really hard to write right now. I'm Stage managing Moon Over Buffalo for my school and I have to be at every single practice…which means 4 to 6:30 almost every night of the week. -.-; The show is October 30, so after that I'll probably have more time to write…Sorry for such a long delay guys!!! (Btw, I did NOT change Alexis' name to Remi…that was just a mix up. [I have another story that probably won't be published that I work on for funnsies.[ So yeah! Thanks to L Wants Your Cookie for pointing that out! ^^)
"Alright, well Haruhi and I are heading out. See you all tomorrow!" Yuuki chirped, grabbing her friend's hand and dragging her out the door. They made their way to her car and got in. She put some music on, but they chattered the whole way to the Twins' house
"Wow, I keep forgetting how big their mansion is." Haruhi said as they pulled into the driveway of the estate.
"Yeah, it's huge." Yuuki replied. "I probably haven't even seen a quarter of it." She parked the car, ran in, and grabbed a few things. Then she came back out. "All ready!"
"That was fast…" Haruhi said, looking at her strangely. "Now, let me give you directions…" She guided Yuuki in the right direction, and soon they were in her neighborhood.
"Ahh…finally…something familiar!" Yuuki said happily.
"What do you mean? Didn't you live in a mansion back in the States?"
"Well, I told you that we moved to a smaller town so we wouldn't be noticed. They had some pretty big houses, but my dad picked one that people wouldn't suspect."
"Ahh I see. That was a good plan."
"Yeah, I went to a private school though. But no one knew who I was unless they were really close friends with me."
"Do you miss your friends?"
"Yeah. I do. Very much. But my friend Hannah might be getting into Ouran, so hopefully I won't be so lonely."
"You know, you always have the host club…"
"Yeah but no one really likes me that much except for you and Tamaki. No one else would really care if I left.
"Honey would miss you. I think Kaoru would too."
"No he wouldn't! All I've given him is trouble."
"Well…it's good for them to open up to other people. I think it's really good for them to broaden their horizons. Besides, Hikaru needs you around to bully him." She teased.
"I'm sure he'd like me gone."
"You never know, Yuuki."
"Hey…it's awfully quiet…isn't it?" Hikaru said, looking around.
"Yeah. Yuuki is spending the night at Haruhi's."
"Oh…Good. I could use some peace and quiet." He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stupid, it was your fault it wasn't quiet. You've been having a lot of moodswings lately. First you were nice to her, then you were mean…"
"Okay okay! I get it! I know. I mean, I was nice at first because I felt sorry for her and…and she was so damn cute! I couldn't help it!" He saif with a pout.
"Cute? Aww Hikaru you have another crush already?"
"No way in hell. Especially on her. I'm telling you, she's a lot like Haruhi. At least to me she is, because she looks a lot like Haruhi. Until I see it, I'm not going to believe it."
Kaoru shook his head. "Alright, alright. Whatever you say…"
He sighed, pulling his backpack off. "I wonder what they're doing…."
"NUTSI!" Haruhi yelled, pumping her fist.
"Good grief Haruhi,..You've won like 10 times! I should've never taught you this game!" Yuuki laughed. She snatched Haruhi's cards up and took them away. "Now they're mine! Hah!" She giggled.
"No fair!" Haruhi fakingly whined. "Well…I guess this is an excuse for us to start our homework since you stole all the cards…"
"Yeah, I guess we should probably get started…but I'm STARVING." Yuuki muttered as her stomach growled like a caged lion.
"Yuu-chan, homework first, food later."
"But…" She pouted.
"No buts!" Haruhi said, waggling her finger. She slung Yuuki's backpack at her face, but luckily for Yuuki she caught it.
"So, what homework do we need to do?"
They quickly went through all their homework and helped each other on certain things.
"Neh, I'm glad I have you as a friend Haruhi…math kicks my butt in more ways than one!" Yuuki protested, stretching her legs out from their Indian style postion.
"Well, I'm glad you can help me out with English and Art! I get so confused when it comes to Art…sometimes I don't know what to draw because I think to hard."
"Remember, draw whatever you feel like. It's the same as writing! And if you make mistakes in art, branch off of it, don't just abandon it." Yuuki explained, smiling vaguely.
"Don't worry, I won't give up on it…it's too interesting.
"Good, now let's get some dinner up…Will your parents want anything?"
"Just my dad, but he won't be home till later. Like I told you, my mom's gone."
"Oh…right…sorry.." She said, blushing slightly.
"It's okay, a lot of people think my dad is my mom because he works in a transvestite bar…" Haruhi laughed it off.
"He works in…a …transvestite bar?" Yuuki's eyes widened immensely. "That's…interesting…"
"Yeah, I know, it's pretty strange, but it's how we get by."
"Well, at least you can get by on your own…I'm living with the twins and all I do to repay them is cook for them…I bet they're going to miss my cooking tonight." She said, smiling lightly.
"That's it!" Haruhi said, snapping her fingers.
"What's it? Food?" Yuuki asked, tilting her head.
"Yes! Food! Maybe you can make Hikaru forgive you with food! We could cook them dinner, drop it by the house, and just run off!"
"That actually sounds like a good idea, I feel bad enough for messing up their relationship…Let's do it!'
Quickly, they made a platter of good food. It was Italian again, ravioli with garlic bread on the side. She also put some parmasean cheese in the container, just in case. For dessert, they made a delicious warm chocolate cake, with hot fudge in the middle. Once they were done, it was a couple hours later.
"Wow…that took longer than I expected…jeez. "
"Well now all we have to do is go and give it to them. Off to your car!" Haruhi said excitedly.
"I've never seen you this energetic, especially around the boys or at school…" Yuuki commented. "I've heard you're quite the lazy person…hehe."
"Well, I guess you're just bringing my inner girl out. I'm having a ton of fun, Yuuki. You're a good friend, " Haruhi smiled, putting a hand on her friend's shoulder.
She was surprised to see tears welling up in Yuuki's eyes. "You don't know how much that means to me…I've been feeling so alone…Hikaru hates me, and I'm sure Kaoru doesn't like me all that much either.."
Haruhi patted her back gently, smiling. "I'm sure that Hikaru doesn't hate you..and he certainly won't after we deliver this food!"
Haruhi quickly grabbed the basket they had put all the food in and set it in her lap as she got into the car. Yuuki got in and started it, then put some music on.
"Wow, she's got a nice voice, who's that?"
"That's Colbie Calliat, her music is really soothing." She said, smiling briefly.
It took about 20 minutes to get into the mansion region of the city..which was when they started to admire all of the houses..well at least Yuuki did.
"They're all so beautiful! Gosh Haruhi, look at that one!" Yuuki gasped as she drove.
"Yuuki! Watch where you're going before we run into them!!" Haruhi said, laughing lightly.
"Well..I'm sorry, these houses are so pretty!"
"I think it's kind of silly how all of those stupid rich people flaunt their money like that…it's ridiculous!"
"Well, I mean, they have to spend their money on something, I guess.."
"True...I suppose." Haruhi said, shrugging.
"Ah, here's the twins house..well I guess it's sorta my house for now...huh."
"Well, come on let's go!" They both quickly got out of the car.
"Now, we'll ring the door bell and then we run and hide, okay?"
"Sure...There's enough landscaping here to hide an army!" Haruhi examined.
"Yeah you're right. Now, ninja mode!!" Yuuki said excitedly, feeling a rush of adrenaline course through her. She ran up to the door, and set the basket down. She rang the doorbell twice, and then took off. Her hair flew out behind her as she sprinted down the pathway, quickly finding a tree and some bushes to hide behind. She dove quickly and effortlessly, making it behind the tree and rolling a little. She crept up behind the bushes, looking through a small opening.
She saw the door open, one of the twins looked out.
"Hello?" It was Hikaru. Her heart danced wildly, waiting for his reaction.
Hikaru's POV
When I opened the door, there was no one there. It was very irritating, until I smelled something delicious. I looked down to see a basket with a few covered dishes in it. On one of them was a sticky note. On it, there was a note.
-Sorry for all the mess I made, Forgive me? :3
There was no name signed, but instantly he smiled. He didn't even know why he smiled, but his stomach growled at him, asking him to take the damn food in and get to eating it.
"Thanks, Yu-chan." He called out softly.
She felt a blush creep up her face, and brought a hand to her cheek, feeling it's warmth.. What on earth is wrong with me?" She wondered to herself. She rose quietly, groaning as her knees unlocked from the crouch she had been in.
"Haruhi! Let's get moving…" She whispered to her friend.
"Right! First one back to the car wins.!" She said excitedly, surprised Yuuki for at least the fifth time that night. Even so, Yuuki took off after her, and couldn't help letting a small giggle burst from her chest. She got to the car second, although the race wasn't really fair because haruhi was closer to the car. They got in, and Yuuki quickly drove off and back to Haruhi's house.
"So, did he pick it up?"
"Yeah…and he even said thanks..to me! He called me Yu-chan…" She said softly, blushing a faint pink.
"Awww…that's really cute!" Haruhi replied.
"you know…I think Hikaru likes you, Haruhi…"
"What?! Why would you say that?!"
"Because, when we were fighting, he mentioned that I was just like you…and for some reason that was a problem…I also overheard he and Kaoru talking about it…"
"I never knew…but I don't know what to do now, I mean, it's so awkward…" Haruhi muttered. This kind of tweaked Yuuki's temper, seeing as Haruhi was sort of avoiding it.
"Well, let's get home, I'm STARVING!" Yuuki said, laughing.
"I…I really like Tamaki, but I feel so bad about hurting Hikaru…" Haruhi murmered to herself, although she didn't realize that Yuuki could hear it.
The next day, things were quiet, and at peace. It was Thursday, and Yuuki was very excited that the week was practically over. She was one of the only talkative people…
"Haruhiiii!" She whined, prancing down the hallway and throwing her arms around Haruhi's shoulders.
"Mmmph."
"What's wrong with you? Sad platypus?" Yuuki said, mimicking her friend's expression.
"I'm tired. We stayed up too late." Haruhi said, deepening her frown.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm the one who wanted to go to sleep…but no, oh no. YOU wanted to stay up!" She laughed, barging through the host club doors. "I feel like doing a cartwheel! Kyahh!" She quickly went onto her hands, but flopped over, landing on the tile. She didn't say anything for a moment. Then, she laughed, holding her stomach. She failed to realize that all seven guys were staring at her with a strange expression. She noticed after she stopped laughing, of course.
"Oh…hey there guys!" She said excitedly.
"What did you eat for lunch today…Sourpatch Kids?" Kaoru asked her.
"Oh my gosh! You guys have SOUR PATCH here?! I LOVE JAPAN!" She squealed, skipping around the room.
"Kyouya, give her a death glare, maybe she'll calm down…" Hikaru said, chuckling.
Kyouya raised an eyebrow.
"I think it's kind of cute how hyper she is." Tamaki laughed.
"Awww really Tama-senpai? Thank you!!" She said, winking at him.
"Yuyu-chan! Let's play a game before all the customers get here!" Honey said excitedly.
"Okay! What do you want to play?!"
"Tag!" He replied.
"AWESOME!" Yuuki squealed.
She quickly poked his shoulder and took flight, running around the large room while Honey followed in hot pursuit. She giggled fiercly, trying to get away, but quickly found her feet fall out under her and herself flat on the ground, face first. It was pretty quiet for a second, until Honey came up and poked her.
"You okay, Yuyu-chan?" He asked curiously.
"YEAHH!" Came the muffled response.
"Well in that case, you're it!"
To their surprise, she groaned, then stood. "Oh really?!" She reached out quickly and touched his shoulder. Then she burst into a fit of giggles. "Okay Okay, enough play time, I need to go get to work on the desserts!" She said with a wink. She flounced into the kitchen.
"I don't think I've ever seen her this cheerful before…" Kaoru chuckled.
It was a fairly quick for Yuuki to make the cakes, and she heard chatter outside soon after she had finished the last batch of cupcakes of the moment. She put some out on a platter, and quickly checked her appearance before heading out onto the floor. She grinned and tried to be very charming to the girls. Of course, one girl quickly caught her attention. It was the one who had made her trip. She gritted her teeth, straightened her posture, and walked past with a firm set face. She could feel the girl's eyes on her....
