Wow chapter 9, I didn't think I would make it this far. Of course I wasn't really thinking how this story was going to go until chapter 4. So here is yet another chapter YAY ME!!
When the lights are out
The poptarts had luckily kept her awake and moving for the rest of the school day. As she hobbled towards the host club, she thought back through the day. How did I survive this day? So much has happened today and all on breakfast and two poptarts! Let's see……. fan girls, rumors, that creep in the robe & his servants, and having all my food stolen by the twins. Next thing she knew she ran into the 3rd music room door, which was slightly open.
"Haruhi!" the sound of Tamaki's voice echoed from the room. "Why won't you wear the costume I prepared for you?" Even Kagome could tell he was crying and she couldn't even see him.
Geez, I can't enter now. It would be too awkward….. Kagome ended up standing up by the door waiting for a lull in the conversation.
"With all these costumes you want me to wear it's surprising no one has found out yet," Haruhi said plainly. This perked Kagome's interest found out what?
"But Otou-sama wants to see his daughter in a pretty outfit!" You could tell that Tamaki was as serious as always.
Otou-sama? Daughter? Okay what am I missing here? Silently she padded into the room. She saw Tamaki holding a manikin draped in what looked like a female Greek toga. The rest of them seemed to dressed as Roman gods.
The twins seemed to be doing a Aphrodite thing, while Kyoya looked like Hades, and Tamaki, of course, was trying to look like Zeus. "What do you mean Otou-sama and daughter?" asked Kagome. The entire room froze and sent some not so subtle glares towards Tamaki.
Haruhi, surprisingly enough, came forward first. "You might as well know, cause Tamaki seems to have let it out of the bag," Haruhi continued to explain her situation and how she has been pretending to be a boy since she had a debt, now paid off, and working as a host.
"So," Haruhi stated, "you're a girl Haruhi." Haruhi nodded. "Eh well, there are more confusing things I've gone through." She sat down on one of the couches, right as her stomach growled and really loudly too.
"Sorry about that," Kagome said rubbing her stomach. "Some people stole my lunch," she shut a look towards the twins, who were looking away innocently. "So I'm running on low amounts of sugar."
A small little boy with blonde hair and blue eyes ran into the room and glomped Haruhi. "Haru-chan," a super tall guy had followed the small blonde in and stared, silently nodding his head in greeting.
"Honey-sempai! I didn't know you were coming today," Haruhi said while hugging back.
Kagome slowly inched towards the god of death, "Hey Kyoya, who is that?"
The shadow king's eye glasses glinted in the light making him look very suspicious. "I only give information in trades." Kagome gave him a funny look and walked over to Tamaki.
"Tamaki who are those people?" Kagome asked. What she didn't realize was that she was interrupting Tamaki's inner mind theater.
With a fully blushed face Tamaki responded, "That is Hanozuka (AN did I spell that right?) aka Honey-sempai," he pointed to the blonde haired kid, "He graduated from Ouran last year. The other is Mori-sempai, his cousin. They were both in the Host Club as well."
That shocked Kagome those two boys were at least three years older than her. Mori-sempai she could believe he was that old but Honey-sempai looked like a 6th grader. She had completely forgotten about being hungry right up to the point where he stomach growled, even louder this time.
Honey-sempai, who had gotten on his feet sometime during Kagome trying to find out who he was, was chatting amiably with the twins and Haruhi. As the growl from her stomach echoed throughout the giant room, he finally realized she was in the room. As Kagome looked him in the eyes she recognized the look in his eyes. It was the kind of look only fighters had, after living in the past she could tell especially Sango had shown her.
He gave her the same calculating look that she gave him except his was much more skilled. At the most, it lasted for a second and he didn't even mss a beat. "Hi my name is Honey" The little shoujo flowers seemed to circle his little head.
He's a professional defiantly she thought to herself. She smiled in return and said "Hello my name is Kagome Higurashi," she bowed slightly.
"AH Kago-chan! Would you like to eat cake with me?" He tilted his head to the side like he was a little kid. Then without even waiting for an answer he dragged her and Mori over to the nearest table.
Kyouya's glasses glinted demonically, shortly followed by him asking for her account number. "My account number, what do you mean?" She lifted a piece of the cake up to her mouth.
"Yes in order to spend time with a host you must pay. And seeing as you are being sponsored by Kurama-sama you should be able to pay" His demonic aura was especially happy with himself.
"I though Honey-sempai and Mori-sempai have already graduated doesn't that mean they are no longer Hosts?" She smiled back and took a bite of the strawberry confectionary. Just as she was about to take another bite the door burst open to reveal Koga standing there.
"Kagome it's time to go." He called.
"One second please," Kagome replied. She shoveled the cake down in 5 seconds flat, then bowed to the group. "I have to go now thank you for the cake Honey-sempai." She ran top speed out the door and was quickly followed by Kouga.
Honey whispered so low to Mori that only one person other than himself and Mori heard what he said. "That girl is dangerous we must keep an eye on her," Mori nodded in agreement while the host merely stood in shock. When Honey called someone dangerous, all was not right with the person.
Kagome, for the most part, was silent for the ride back to her home. The main cause was trying to figure out what to tell her mother. How do I explain a four……no five day absence to my mom? It's not like I can say I got pulled back to the past…… and when I asked Sesshomaru what they told her. She got the ever so descriptive answer of 'The bare minimum.' I mean what am I supposed to get from that? I mean seriously being nontalkative can only get you so far……
"Hey Kouga?" Kagome said looking toward the drivers seat.
"Yes? What is it Kagome?"
"What exactly did you tell my mother? Sesshomaru wasn't exactly open with what was said."
"Ah we told them that 'Kurama-sama' wanted to spend time with you and he was someone from the 'past,'" Kouga gave a wolfish smile.
"So what am I allowed to say? They already know about demons so I can tell them that right?"
"Of course, but you might want to leave out the part that Kurama-sama tried to kill you a couple time. Might want to stick with the story that he is an ally and he thought he would help you out since you did a favor for him in the past."
"Other than that part, I can say anything?"
"Whatever your willing to say to them," Kouga shrugged.
Kagome smiled brightly; at least she didn't have to lie to her family, mostly.
The seemingly endless stairs just basically begged to be ran up especially now that she could run up them so much faster now. Kagome ran top speed up the stairs ecstatic to see her family again. When she reached the top step she turned around to see how close Kouga was. He was still about a little less than half-way up the stairs, walking at about the normal pace. Well human pace that is.
Kagome rolled up her sleeve and looked at the symbols, similar to those on an ofuda, that wrapped around her arm like a arm band. According to Sesshomaru, mainly what his company produces is things to hide demons existence, power binding (for the demons that are trouble of course), and other things demons might need.
She was lucky; it seems that an appearance spell this strong would cost a fortune. Most people bought them once and recopied the symbols for the rest of the time they needed it.
While Kagome was caught up in her thoughts Kouga was already at the top of the stairs. He tapped her on the shoulder, "Time to go inside Kagome." She nodded and rolled her sleeve back down.
"Okay," she started to walk back to her house and was quickly followed by Kouga.
"Hello Mrs. Higurashi. My name is Kouga Matsura, I am here in Kurama-sama's behalf. He truly would have liked to come but his schedule has been so busy lately that he decided to send me instead."
" We are pleased to have you here Matsura-san," Kagome's mom said politely.
"Please just call me Kouga," he smiled wolfishly as if he had something up his sleeve.
