Only You Karou!
A Ouran High Host Club Love Story!
Part Five
A Visit From The Host Club
"Mizuki may we have a word with you if your not to busy?" I heard a voice call from the game room. I entered to see the twins, Hikaru and Karou, sitting on the couch texting away on there phones. I announced my presence with a small cough and they both looked up from there phones to see me. "Ah good your not busy because we have a job for you." Hikaru said shutting his phone with a snap.
I looked at them with mild surprise, it wasn't often that they gave me a specific job to. Then I felt slightly scared lately Hikaru had been doing his best to make my job ten times harder. I just sat there waiting patiently for his instructions. I was relieved when I saw Karou speak up "Our friends from the host club are going to be coming over today, so we are going to need you to get some lunch for seven today. We will be in the garden so make it in a picnic form... if that's not to much trouble of course Mizuki."
My spirits lightened a little when I heard this, remembering all the fun times I had when I attended the host club. It was hard to admit but I was glad to be seeing Honey Sempai again too. "Its no problem at all Karou-San. Is there anything particular you wanted to eat? Other then cake that is I know how honey loves his cake." I said with a fond smile thinking of the small blonde haired boy.
Hikaru gave me a questioning look and circling me asked "How is it you know about Honey Sempai exactly maid-sama?" with a cold tone. I felt scared a little under his icy glare and couldn't seem to find my voice. Luckily Karou came to my rescue.
"Hikaru leave her alone. She went to Ouran Academy remember? She use to come visit the host club with her friend. I believe Honey Sempai had a soft spot for you if I remember correctly." he looked at me and I nodded to confirm "And also Hikaru her name is Mizuki." he added with a slight glare at his brother.
Hikaru looked at Karou without even trying to hide his surprise and hurt. Then in a bat of an eye Hikaru turned on me a devil like glint in his eyes and in an overly sweet tone said "Of course my apologies Mizuki. I'll find a way to make it up to you. I promise." Right then I knew that what he had done so far was nothing compared to what was about to happen. Hikaru had just become my enemy.
With a nervous laugh I bowed my way out of the room and went down to the kitchen wondering how bad this day was going to turn out to be. I entered the kitchen with a groan and the main cook, Chei, looked at me with a concerned look. "Is everything alright dear?" she asked wiping her hands on her apron as she walked over to me.
"Yes perfectly fine. Other then the fact I am pretty sure Hikaru has it in for me now. I have heard rumors about what the twins can do … should I be worried?" I asked leaning on the counter helping myself to a rice cake. I was not comforted by the look of pity on Chei's face.
"Well the twins are often called the twin terrors. Ever since they were little they have been working together to make who ever they didn't like life's miserable. What exactly did you do to upset the young masters?" she asked as she passed me a cup of tea to help calm my nerves.
"Well I didn't do anything actually. Hikaru got a attitude with me and Karou .." I said his name affectionately " he stood up for me. But of course Hikaru would never be angry with his brother so now I am the object of his hatred it seems." I ended with another sigh. I didn't know this job came with these kind of complications.
Chei let out a gasp of shock and looked at me with wide eyes. "You mean to say that its only one of them. I don't think I have ever heard something like that before. Nothing has ever come between them since birth. Oh I think you may be in for quite a handful with Hikaru though im not sure. They usually work best together." she said adding thoughtfully.
I sipped the last of my tea pondering on what she said. On one hand it might be worse because I am coming between Hikaru and his brother but then on the other hand I wasn't sure he was as powerful without his other half. I pushed it out of my head for the time being because I had work to do.
I clapped my hands together and said "Ok now what I really came down here for. Chei I am going to need some help with lunch. I need to make a picnic lunch for seven including lots of sweets." Chei nodded and we set to work the previous conversation behind us.
Finally after hours of work I had two big picnic baskets full of food and a large blanket over my shoulder as I walked out into the gardens. Next to the library the garden was my favorite place on the whole property. It was about the size of three football fields and filled with tons of exotic and local plants along with multiple fountains. I breathed in the sweet air and sighed happily.
I was walking along the paths of the garden looking for the host club when I heard a childish voice call out behind me "Mi-San!" I turned around just in time to see Honey run up and hug me tight around my waist. I smiled down at him and dropped the baskets gently so I could stroke his hair. "Its good to see you to Honey Sempai." I said as he let go of me.
"Did Hika-San and Kao-San invite you too?" Honey said looking up at me innocently. By now the rest of the Host Club had caught up to Honey, including the twins.
Hikaru scoffed and stepped forward "No of course not shes just the hired help. Hopefully you packed a decent lunch Maid-Sama?" he asked bending down and looking in the baskets. I looked down ashamed and wanted nothing more then to run and hide.
"Hikaru what is your problem today? Mizuki hasn't done anything to you so why are you acting like such a jackass?" Karou asked looking at his brother with a combination of hurt and disgust. Hikaru paid him no attention as he dug through the baskets.
"Its simple really I think its about time Mizuki learns her place." Hikaru said and before I knew what happened I was covered in freezing cold water. I let out a small yell. I looked around at all the shocked faces and the beaming smile on Hikaru's face. I turned and ran crying as I went.
