Shadows and Kitties
D-Chan: Yes, this is the third chapter.
H-Chan: D-Chan does not own Ouran High School Host Club or any of its members.
My Spiel: Twins, twins, twins. What do people really expect from us? Do they expect us to be great, or expect us to fail, or think we're smarter for the fact that we can have two brains working on the same idea? We both have different thought processes and ideas and thoughts, we may have some of the same interests but it doesn't make us any smarter.
(End of Chapter, I'll explain my year and a half long absence.)
I glance over my shoulder only to spot Nekozawa-san slipping into the shadows. The fine hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. "Why is he following you?" I jump in fright, my eye's widening as I turn to face Kyouya(AN: I know I spelled it Kyoya last time, but I don't know why since I spell it Kyouya). Kyouya is pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose with his middle finger. I sigh internally telling myself that I have to stop being so jumpy "Sorry Kyouya-san, he's been following me since yesterday, I'm not quite sure why." Kyouya raises an eyebrow in wonderment "After what event did he start following you?" My brows draw together in thought and my lips form a thin line as I think back to events of the day before "I think it was after the incident in the hall with Hikaru, Nekozawa-san was there and has been following me ever since." Kyouya nods "I see, so he's taken and interest in you and your brother has he?" I shrug "Dunno, maybe." Kyouya smirks "Then talk to him, it might be beneficial to the host club." Kyouya walks away. My mouth falls open in surprise. I sigh, sulking; I make my way over to Nekozawa-san "Why are you following me?"
He just blinks at me. I sigh again "Fine, fine let's get to class" I hold out my hand. He takes it and we walk to class together. The teacher stares at the two of us as we enter. I just smile and release Nekozawa's hand. We head to our seats; I shift awkwardly when Nekozawa sits behind me and continues to stare. Hikaru freeze's before turning around slowly, his eyes widen and he quickly faces forwards. I turn only to see Nekozawa-san has switched his gaze to glare at my brother. I scowl "Nekozawa-san I would appreciate it if you would not glare at my brother." Nekozawa looks away, dejectedly at the ground. I sigh "I'm sorry for snapping at you Nekozawa-san, but you shouldn't glare at him, it's not his fault." Nekozawa looks up through his bangs "You're not angry?" he whispers. I shake my head "No of course not!" I leave him to interpret that since I have no clue what I wasn't supposed to be angry about. I turn back only to see everyone and the teacher starring at me. I smile sheepishly "Sorry!" The teacher shakes her head. Hikaru is watching us curiously. I send him a smile that says I will explain later. He nods and turns back around.
When class is finally over I turn to Nekozawa "Nekozawa-san, if your not to busy, we're doing a dark theme at the Host Club today, if you'd like, you can join us." I grab Hikaru's hand and walk from the room. I pause, to give thought to the day's theme….! "Kyouya planned this!" Hikaru blinks "Planned what Kaoru?" I grumble 'Stupid shadow kings' I drag Hikaru towards our next class so quickly that Haruhi can barely keep up. I grumble all through that class, before heading to the Host Club for our free period. I throw the massive double doors open "Kyouya! You planned this!" Kyouya looks up from his quiet chat with Nekozawa-san "Kaoru, your scaring the ladies. Now, what did I plan?" My face begins to heat up and I can tell I've gone bright red. I quickly go to the backroom and lock myself in. I hear Hikaru ask Kyouya if he knows what's wrong with me. Kyouya answers that he doesn't know. I turn and lean on the door, my eye's closed. I sigh before sliding down to the ground. Then, I hear "Kaoru?" My eye's open to see Tamaki. I groan and slump forward putting my head between my knees and wrapping my arms around them. I can feel Tamaki kneel in front of me "Go away!" I mumble loudly into my knees.
He places his right hand on my head "Kaoru, is something the matter?" The concern is obvious in his voice. "This is all Haruhi's fault!" I hiss. Honestly, she was innocent but at the time I needed someone to blame. I glance up at Tono only to see he's watching me with hurt eyes. I sigh and lean into the wall "No, it not her..." I struggle to find the words I want to convey "I shouldn't blame her; it's not really her fault..." I choke off at the end into a silent sob. I wipe the unfallen tears from my eyes "But it all started with her!" There's a small knock on the door "Kao-chan, are you in there? Kao-chan, Kao-chan! Let me in Kao-chan!" Tamaki gestures to a chair and I sit in it, he opens the door a bit "Did you need something Honey?" Honey tries to peek around "I wanted to make sure Kao-chan was alright Tama-chan." Tamaki smiles sweetly at the boy "Kaoru is fine Honey; go back to Mori before he begins to worry." Tamaki spots Nekozawa-san as he closes the door and all but slams it shut. He turns quickly to me only to see me smirking at him. "It's not funny Kaoru, Nekozawa seriously scares me!" I smile "Tamaki, you'll have to face your fears eventually..." Tamaki grimaces "Only if you'll come with me!" I loose my smile and look around desperately for an excuse "I... uh... well you see... fine..."
He grabs my hand, dragging me from the room; I barely have time to straighten out my composure. Even so it is obvious to anyone that I look like I'm about to run from the room in tears or hysterics. I look nervous, ruffled and paranoid as I glance around the room to make sure we keep a safe distance from Kyouya. I'm not sure if Tamaki notices but he doesn't take me to Kyouya's side of the room. As we approach Nekozawa-san; he glares at Tamaki who stops in his tracks. I sigh "Nekozawa-san, what have I told you about being nice?" I never really said anything about being nice but he still looks down guiltily. I smile "It's alright Nekozawa-kun," I switch to a friendlier way of speaking "You're not in trouble with me." Nekozawa half smiles and I get the feeling he doesn't smiles much. I can't help but wonder if he's wearing glow in the dark fangs while I'm at it. I site next to Nekozawa and Tamaki sits across from us. The three of us sitting together attracts quite a few girls.
D-Chan: I'm sorry this took so long. But I lost the paper it was written on. Then we started having family troubles and my brother his girlfriend and their two kids moved in. After which we had more family troubles. Then, my mothers' side of the family started talking to us again. We went to a few family partied and then had more family problems. After a few sessions of talking together with the family, my grandfather died. We went to Alabama for his funeral. During all this I was finishing up school and trying my best to graduate. I was trying to get a job to save up money for a car, and later on down the road for a house or apartment. Plus I have to save up and get ready for college. Deep Bow Sorry for taking so long!
