Chapter 3- First Delivery
Emily pulled a child's wagon behind her, filled with bakery style boxes. Kisa carried a stack of the same type of boxes as her sister. Emily, however, noticed someone walking towards them.
"Kisa, I have to go. See you later." Emily dropped the wagon handle, and left before Kisa could say anything.
"What? Emily, wait!" Kisa called, setting her stack of boxes onto the already towering pile in the wagon. "Damn it, what am I supposed to do now." Kisa grumbled, glaring at the wagon.
"Kisa." Takashi stepped forward, and picked up a large stack of the boxes. His eyes questioning her about her cargo.
"Emily talked to Kyouya. I get to bake things for the Host Club, and whatever money they make, goes to paying off Haruhi's debt. I'm so glad to be able to help my cousin." Kisa told him, following him to the Third Music Room. Takashi grunted, then he glanced at her, and his face held another questions.
"Haruhi is one of my best friends. When we were children, we would spend our summers here, and visit Haruhi, and her parents. With Haruhi's mother died, she came and visited us in Los Angeles. She is the best person to lean on, to tell things to. But I think things are going to change. Haruhi doesn't know it, but I'm positive she's going to fall in love with Tamaki. Emily will find someone, then I will be all alone." Kisa sighed. "Thank you for helping me, though Takashi-senpai. You really didn't have to." Kisa beamed at him, and the pair entered the Third Music Room.
"No problem." Takashi told her, and showed her to the kitchen. They spent the next minute in silence as they juggled things in the fridge to put the boxes away.
"So I made cookies, cupcakes, and cakes. With frosting." Kisa smiled shyly up at her senior, then closed the fridge door. Takashi smiled back, then nodded towards the door.
"Oh, you are right. We should go so we aren't late for class. I'll see you at lunch, right?" Kisa asked, starting to head off to her class.
"Ah." Takashi replied, following her. in his hand, he held Kisa's school bag. "Kisa."
"Hmm, Takashi-senpai?" Kisa turned around, then flushed in embarrassment. "Thank you, senpai. Se you later." Kisa took her bag, then scurried into her classroom. As she entered, Takashi tilted his head to the side, a puzzled expression on his face.
"She's walking better now, is she Takashi?" Honey asked, bouncing onto Takashi's shoulders.
"Ah." Takashi replied, and he carried his cousin to their class.
"I hope Kisa is okay. She seems so quiet and sweet." Honey smiled down at his cousin, knowing that Kisa might be the perfect fit for his cousin.
"Sorry about leaving you like that Kisa, I just remembered something I had to get from the library. A book for one of our classes." Emily explained to her sister, as the pair walked to the lunch room.
"Yup. No worries, Takashi-senpai helped me. He was really nice." Kisa replied, finally able to keep pace with her sister at a pace the pair where used to.
"Good. You know what? For all of Haruhi's complaining, I really like the Hosts. Though, if anyone asks, I said nothing." Emily smiled, and laughed. "Where do you want to sit?"
"Over here." Kisa settled herself beside Honey, so Emily sat beside Kyouya, across from her sister.
"Where is your lunch, Ki-chan?" Honey asked. Emily had already pulled her own lunch out, and Kisa had made no move to pull out one as well.
"I'm not hungry." Kisa shrugged, and pulled a book out of her bag. She propped it open in front of herself, and ignored the people around her.
"Kisa." Takashi announced his presence, and set a tray of food in front of her. "Eat."
"Please, no I'm not hungry Takashi-senpai." Kisa sighed when Takashi didn't move, but just looked at her. Kisa sighed again, and picked up a rice ball. Grumbling, she ate food, and purposely ignored the small smile on Takashi's face, or the slightly surprised look on her sister's face.
"So, when exactly is host club?" Emily asked, breaking the silence.
"Half an hour after school ends. Kisa, we will need you to arrive as soon after classes as possibly can. It will work the best, so you can set up your baking." Kyouya commanded, snapping Kisa out of her pout.
"Sure, I will come right after school. My leg is better now, so I will be able to move a lot faster then a few days ago." Kisa shrugged, and went back to eating her lunch.
"Whats wrong with your leg? It seems fine." The twins asked, staring at Kisa. When she didn't answer them, they turned to Emily.
"She pulled a muscle just before we left. She was moving very carefully, so as to not make it worse. But it seems that she's better now. If it had still been bothering her, mama would have probably taken her to the hospital." Emily told them, then stood. "Come on, Kisa, I need to get something from the library."
"Alright, see everyone later." Kisa stood, then left the table.
"What is up with those two?" Kyouya sighed, then closed his notebook. "We shall just have to find out." The host club, minus Haruhi, watched the two girls leave.
"What do you need, Emily?" Kisa asked, following her sister to the library. Emily pulled the pair of them into a sheltered alcove.
"We need to decide. What so we tell those boys? Kyouya will find out what happened. I'm sure he will. We need to figure out what to tell them. It's better if they hear it from us, then if they find out about it by themselves." Emily told her sister, speaking quickly.
"I, I don't-" Kisa gasped, her face going pale.
"She's right, Kisa. Kyouya is ruthless. Once those boys get to know you a little better, they won't care." Haruhi stepped forward, and grabbed Kisa's hand.
"I'm not sure. I don't know." Kisa sighed, and gripped both her sister and cousin's hands.
"Well, when you are ready, let me know. You don't have to tell them yourselves, one of us can for you. Alright? Just let us know when you are ready for them to know." Emily told her sister, then pulled her into a tight, squeezy hug.
"Don't worry about it, Kisa. We will always be here for you." Haruhi told them, then moved away. "Come on, we don't want to be late for class."
"Thank you. Both of you." Kisa beamed at both of them, wiped her eyes, then followed Emily back to her classroom. She spent the rest of her classes running her sister and cousin's words through her mind. Once those boys get to know you, they won't care... We will always be there for you. 'So, all I have to do is get them to know me better. But how do I do that?' Kisa thought to herself, as she carefully set her cupcakes up on cupcake trees, placed cookies on platters, and cakes on decorated plates. Then, once that was done, Kisa began to distribute the different baked goods on the host's tables. The leftover goods she placed on a table in the middle. Then, Kisa made a decision. She would get to know these hosts, then maybe, just maybe, she would let them in. And the best way to get to know them? She would sit with them during hosting hours.
"Hey, Honey. Can I sit with you guys?" Kisa asked, smiling at the host pair.
"Yes! Your cakes are very good!" Honey beamed at Kisa, then made space between himself and Takashi so Kisa could join them.
"You really like my cakes? Thank you so much Honey!" Kisa smiled back, and settled in between the two boys.
"You made the cakes Kisa-chan?" one of the guests asked.
"Yes, I made all of the baked goods today. Did you enjoy them?" Kisa asked, beaming inside.
"They were wonderful. I am Akumi, and I'm in your class." Akumi introduced herself.
"Oh, you were the girl I asked for directions to the host club on the first day. Thank you for that Akumi-chan." Kisa smiled, and the two girls chatted wile Takashi and Honey's other guests giggled with Honey.
"Kisa." Takashi spoke quietly, in between their guests.
"Yes, Takashi?" Kisa turned to him, curious. it was quickly becoming clear to her that Takashi didn't talk very much.
"Did you enjoy lunch?" He asked her.
"Wow. Um, yeah, thank you. Oh, and yes, Emily did find her book." Kisa giggled softly, when she saw the puzzled look in his eyes. "Well, you had that look in your eyes! You may not talk much, but it's all about reading a person's body language. I've gotten really good at it over the years." Kisa smiled, and continued to laugh. Honey couldn't help but smile when he saw the small smile grace his cousin's face.
"So, Kyouya. How come you don't have any guests?" Emily asked, plunking herself down across from the lonely host. Kyouya sighed, but shut his laptop down. He realized that no conversation with Emily was ever short.
"I'm considered the 'cool' type. Most girls don't want to spend the time with me. Which is fine, it just means I get more time to balance the club's finances." Kyouya shrugged, then grabbed a cookie.
"Ah, isn't Kisa just wonderful. She's a wonderful cook, and baker. The kitchen is definitely her domain. And she's so smart for how she distributed her goods. Did you see? Cookies for you, cakes for Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai, and cupcakes for everyone else." Emily commented, wanting to get his opinion on things.
"Well, neither of you appears to be unintelligent. In fact, if my observations are right, you two will be competitors for top of the class." Kyouya told her, then took another cookie, to go with his sip of coffee.
"Nah, Kisa is way more focused on school then I am. She is the only reason I'm not failing. She explains everything to me, and lets me copy her notes, so I always know they are right. In return, I keep her safe." Emily smiled at him, and grabbed another cookie as well.
"Hey, Emily! I want to go home now." Sophie had snuck into the host club, and had jumped into her sister's lap.
"Oh, hey sissa. Yeah, we will go soon. Why don't you go find Kisa? She's right over there." Emily pointed to the couches where Takashi and Honey were sitting.
"Kisa!" Sophie raced over, and bounced onto the couch, and into her sister's lap.
"Oh, Sophie. What's up?" Kisa gasped, and automatically wrapped her arms around her baby sister.
"Who's this, Ki-chan?" Honey asked, grinning at the little girl.
"This is my sister Sophie, and she's in grade 7. I guess that means it's time to go home. See everyone tomorrow." Kisa waved to the guests, then the two hosts.
"Hey! Sophie! Kisa! Let's go home." Emily called, commanding her family to come with her. With a wave to Kyouya, Emily grabbed Sophie's hand, and way out of the school.
"Hey, Takashi. Don't you think its weird that Kisa always listens to everything Emily says? I wonder why." Honey said thoughtfully, speaking just loud enough for the rest of the club members to hear as they left for the day. The only thing about Honey's statement that truly stuck with him was how loud his cousin had said it.
A/N: So, yes, there will be more Tamaki and twins in the next chapter. I just like Takashi and Kyouya better... But don't worry, the others will be dragged in!
Also, how mad will you guys be if I pretend that Renge never existed? Because I really don't like her... And give me at least two more chapters before Kisa says anything about what happened to her. And, no, I'm not going to tell you what's wrong. XD
