Hola mi amigos! Thanks for staying tuned to the story! *sigh* Summer has made me completely forget my work. Lol, that's summer for you! I haven't let myself stop thinking about how the story shall progress though! In this chapter you will meet a character that TasiasEndlessDreams helped me come up with! ^_^ So let's give her a round of applause! *clap clap clap*
Disclaimer: I had to face it someday… I don't own Ouran.
"Hikaru?" asked Kaede as she walked into the Host Club to attend her job as errand boy. "There's someone here to see you."
Hikaru looked at Kaede curiously as he got up and walked towards her, Kaoru following behind him. Even with all that had happened between Hikaru and Kaede, their bond hadn't broken. "Who is it?"
"I'm not sure… she seems … er… really energetic though." Kaede glanced towards the door, and turned her attention back onto the twins.
"Wonder who it is." said Kaoru as he walked to the doorway. "Well, come on Hikaru, open it!"
"Okay…" Hikaru slowly advanced towards the door as well. Kaede took a step to the side as if something was going to come barreling through the door at any moment.
Hikaru didn't even finish turning the knob to the door before a girl bounded through! She hooked her arms around his neck and was giggling. "Yay! You're here!"
"M-m-miama!? What the hell are you doing here!?" yelled Hikaru as he tried to pry her off.
"What do you mean Hika?" asked Miama innocently.
Kaede gave a small laugh and choked out "Hika?"
"Ah! Don't pay attention to her!" yelled Hikaru at Kaede, "I don't have a clue who she is!"
"Hika! Who is this!?" Miama pointed accusingly at Kaede, and Kaede froze in place instantly. Miama seemed to have a one track mind, and Kaede didn't want to be the one to get in the middle of anything. "How did you replace me so fast!?" She leapt at Kaede and pointed at her accusingly. "I mean, come on! What kind of girl pounces on a guy that's heartbroken that quickly! And you!" she turned to point at Hikaru, "How dare you even replace me! We weren't ever over!"
"What!? We hadn't ever started!" responded Hikaru.
The two argued back and forth and Kaoru managed to sidle his way over to Kaede who was stunned. "Heh, well… this would be a good time to explain this… wouldn't it?"
Kaede gave him a icy glare. "Please, go on."
"Well… Miama has had her eye on Hikaru for a while now… she has marked him as hers. The rest of the girls aren't brave enough to go against her."
"I wonder why." Mumbled Kaede.
"Ah!!! My little flower!" announced Tamaki as he walked towards Miama. "You came! I'm so happy!"
Miama seemed to forget her little spat with Hikaru for the moment as she responded with "Of course I came! I'm here for duty!"
Tamaki turned to Kaede. "We have a special treat for you! Miama is going to be your teacher on all social aspects!"
Both girls instantly froze.
"You mean I have to teach the other woman!?" yelled Miama.
"You mean I have to listen to her!?" yelled Kaede.
"Er.. I see I have definitely interrupted something greater than myself here…" said Tamaki as he backed away slowly. "Have fun you two!"
"Hmph." Miama turned to face Kaede. "I am going to be the bigger woman here. I will not let something like a relationship get in the way of my duty. Now come here." Hikaru seemed to relax a little bit, since Miama had left him alone. "Don't think you're free Hika! I have a lot to talk to you about! Now, girl, come!"
Kaede sent a pleading look to Hikaru and Kaoru for help. Both smiled at her encouragingly… She stiffly walked towards Miama. After taking a big breath of air she said, "Er… okay let's start?"
"FIRST GROUND RULES!" yelled Miama so loud that everyone jumped. Hikaru and Kaoru tiptoed away, thankful to be out of Miama's clutches. "One: No talking to my Hika!" She seemed to be making them up as she went.
"You're Hika? Er, I mean Hikaru?"
"Yes, my Hika. Rule number two: You must always listen to me! Got it?"
Fire was burning in Kaede's eyes, but she nodded slowly. She had to swallow her words so that she wouldn't yell at her. It was tougher than it looked.
Miama had to think about her third rule for a moment. "And last, you must tell me one secret about yourself that you haven't told anyone else!" Miama looked pretty proud at her last rule as she crossed her arms waiting for a response.
Kaede's jaw dropped. "What!?"
"You heard me."
"Why in god's name would you think that I would tell you anything about myself! You've done nothing but rant on and on without caring what other people were thinking! Don't you care about other people's respect? Their privacy? Their wishes to stay SANE!?"
"Kaiya… Why are you yelling?" asked a voice that Kaede recognized as Nika. "Remember the promise you made me?" Nika looked like she was about to cry at any moment.
Kaede looked down, ashamed. Miama was still standing where she was… she was a bit dumbfounded at what had happened. She was replaying the entire scene in her head, trying to figure out what went wrong. "Yeah… I promised… but…"
"No buts!" yelled Nika with more force than anyone thought she could muster. "You promised!!!"
"Fine…"
"Now, apologize to this girl, please." Nika pointed at the confused Miama.
Kaede kept her eyes on the ground as she mumbled something that sounded like an apology. All that anyone was able to hear was "wrong…" , "sorry…" , and "forgive me…"
"Thank you Kaede!" squeeled Nika, who's emotion had just changed from dark and forceful to her usual bubbly self. "Okay, now! Introductions are in order!"
"Oh, well… Miama… this is Nika. She's my friend."
"BEST friend!" piped Nika with a gleeful smile on her face. "So, your name is Miama?" asked Nika.
"Er.. . yup!" said Miama as she regained her composure.
"Whatcha here for?" asked Nika curiously.
"I'm here to help this girl with her social problems."
Kaede bit her lip as she called her "girl" again. But, this time Nika gave Miama trouble. "I'm afraid her name is not girl. It's Kaede, and I'd appreciate you calling her that. Thanks!"
Miama stared at Nika for a second. She was surprised that a girl like Nika would stand up for herself and her friend! She looked rather feeble… her purple dress had a koala printed on it, and her hair was put up in pigtails. Overall, her looks didn't exactly scream "Protector."
"Fine, fine, fine... Kaede then!" She rolled her eyes quickly. "Well, then… we'd better get started."
"Oh goody!" said Nika. "Can I stay to watch!?"
"Sure?" said Miama. Kaede didn't say a word. She didn't trust herself saying anything in front of Miama that wouldn't offend her. "Okay, here's what we are working on today. Posture. So… er… go place a book on your head and walk around!"
Kaede walked off silently and started practicing with a book on her head. She was blushing like mad because it was rather embarrassing to have to balance a book on your head (unsuccessfully might I add) in front of an entire room of people. She kept on dropping the book continuously.
Miama was watching alongside Nika. "Mind me asking what the promise she made you was?" asked Miama.
"Sure! She promised me she would start being nice to people and not fight as much."
"Why would she make a promise like that?"
"Well… she used to fight with everyone like they were out to hurt her. Which I can understand… but I made her make the promise because I couldn't watch her be lonely anymore."
"Oh…"
"I'm sure you two will end up being good friends!" smiled Nika.
"What makes you so sure about that?"
"Because, you are both a lot alike! You both have opinions on a lot of things… and not to mention you both seem to like the same person!"
"Wouldn't that make us rivals then?"
"Nope! I know which one loves him more. And in the end… I hope that you will be good enough friends to blow it off."
"Heh… yeah, okay." Replied Miama.
Miama didn't believe what Nika said, but for some reason her words kept on repeating themselves inside her head. How could she know what was going to happen? And how could she tell who liked Hika more? Miama shook her head, and pushed it out of her head. Let the competition begin!!!
I hope you guys like Miama! I added her to put a bit of zest into the story! Plus, it's a trio of friends! Everythings always more fun in a trio! Don'tcha think? Again, a hand of applause for Tasia'sEndlessDreams. And, a hand of applause for all of my avid readers! ^_^ *clap clap^
