Author Note: ENJOI THE STOREH LOLOL!!!11
Kaoru walks over to the door, and tries to turn the knob.
"Hikaru…"
"Yes?"
"The door is locked."
"Impossible. Tamaki opened it easily. Along with everyone else." Hikaru tries to open it himself. It doesn't open.
"It must be jammed somehow. Who knew they had such cheap doors at a high class school," Hikaru says.
Mitsuki walks over to the twins. "So I guess we are stuck in here until morning? You guys give girls cakes and stuff, right? So we'll have cakes for dinner?"
"No, Hunny always eats the left over cakes," says Kaoru.
"Fresh ones are delivered in the morning," adds Hikaru.
Mitsuki sits down in a chair. Sumire, how should I ask them their names? I can't seem to do it.
"What's your name again?" Kaoru asks.
Sumire, thank goodness. "Saionji Mitsuki. Although it's strange for someone to not know my name," Mitsuki says.
"Well, it's more of we weren't sure if you were Sumire or Mitsuki."
Sumire, He said 'we', implying that he knows what the other one is thinking. "What are your names?" Mitsuki makes sure that she doesn't miss her chance.
"Kaoru Hitachin."
"Hikaru Hitachin."
Mitsuki points to Hikaru, "Hikaru." Then points to Kaoru, "Kaoru." Mitsuki smiles at them. "My parents never could tell me apart from my sister. When they rushed in the room after hearing me scream, they asked me which one died."
"Why the hell are you telling us this?" Hikaru asks. The twins both sit down in chairs.
"Because you two must know what it's like to look exactly alike. Hikaru, Kaoru, am I a twin?" Mitsuki looked at them with sad eyes. Sumire, I am a twin, right?
"Aren't you?" Kaoru says.
"Well, because Sumire is gone, that means there is no longer someone identical-" Beside you, was always me. Beside me, was always you.
"If you are born a twin, then you're a twin, right?" says Hikaru.
Mitsuki smiles. "I suppose that's right." So what should I do when you are no longer beside me?
"Kaoru, Hikaru, why did you join the host club?"
Silence. "Because we had enough free time," Kaoru.
"Why didn't you join a more sensible club?" Mitsuki twists her mouth.
"You were acting really sick earlier, don't you still feel sick?" Hikaru.
"Hmm…I'm really just hungry."
"Us too."
"Oh yeah!" Mitsuki pulls out her cell phone from her pocket. "I could call someone to pick us up?"
"Su- Mitsuki? Where do you sleep?" Kaoru asks.
"Huh?"
"Well, you said you couldn't go home, right?" Hikaru adds.
"Oh. Where do I sleep?"
"You mean you don't know?" Kaoru.
"I know. I sleep at Saionji Hotel."
"Then, they do let you in?" Hikaru.
"Yes."
"Then why'd you say they didn't?" Kaoru.
"That's not exactly what I said. I said they don't want me. I didn't say they wouldn't let me. They still wouldn't make their only daughter sleep on the streets. But they wouldn't care if I was at school."
"So you're going to call your limo to pick you up?" Kaoru.
"Pick US up."
"We have our own phones. We can call our limos." Hikaru.
"Wait. How will the chauffeurs open the door? Isn't it jammed?"
"Oh. You're right," says Kaoru.
Hikaru says, "Let's try to fix it?"
Mitsuki walks over to the door and attempts to open it. It opens. She turns to see if the twins noticed. They didn't. She immediately shuts the door quietly.
"No use, it won't open," She says. "How would we go about fixing it?"
"I don't know, it was a stupid idea," says Hikaru.
Mitsuki flips open phone to look at the time. It's 8:00pm. "It's really late," Mitsuki says. Mitsuki presses the camera button on her phone walks in front of the twins. She snaps a picture.
"Why'd you do that?" asks Kaoru.
"Because it'll be bad if I forget who's who. Kaoru is on the left, Hikaru is on the right. So when I am talking to one of you, I can open my phone to see who I'm talking to. I can look at the picture in my phone to tell who is who."
"Okay then," Hikaru and Kaoru stand up. They shuffle themselves, "Which one is Hikaru?"
Mitsuki looks at the picture in her phone, then looks at them. She looks back at the phone. "I give up."
"So go ahead and delete the picture on your phone." Hikaru and Kaoru sit down.
"I have pictures of Sumire in my phone. Want to see her?"
"Why would we?" asks Hikaru.
"They'll look just like you," says Kaoru.
Mitsuki opens the file of a picture of Sumire. "She seems…more elegant then me. I trip a lot. I get sick a lot. I slouch sometimes. And she'd just smile at me and told me that I was stupid. And so when I look at this picture, I don't see a girl who looks just like me. I see a girl who looks far more beautiful than me."
The twins are looking down. Mitsuki closes her phone. "I'm sorry, did I make you feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm going to," says Kaoru, "try to open the door again." Kaoru stands up.
Sumire, this is terrible. They're about to leave me. "Why bother, it's not like it's going to magically open when it's been jammed this whole time, right Hikaru?"
"Huh?" Hikaru looks up. "Oh, yeah."
Kaoru turns the doorknob, and the door opens. "Hey, it works! Hikaru, let's get out of here."
Hikaru gets up. Mitsuki, too. They both walk toward the door and leave with Kaoru. "So are you guys going to call your limo? I'm thinking of walking, myself."
"Our house isn't particularly close," says Kaoru.
"So we'll be calling our limo," Hikaru says.
"All right, then." They get outside, where Hikaru and Kaoru's limo has been waiting for several hours.
Mitsuki giggles. "I guess you won't have to call, then. See you two later, Kaoru, Hikaru." Kaoru waves. They get in the limo and drive off.
"Sumire," Mitsuki says quietly. "I wish Kaoru hadn't randomly opened the door." Mitsuki walks slowly toward Saionji Hotel. She arrives there at 10:00pm. The doors open themselves. No one talks to her as she walks to her room.
She keeps the master key card with her always, so she opens her door with it. The cherry blossom window is open, with wind blowing in. The chair on the left is fallen over. The bed sheets are on the floor. Sumire, after 3 months, they still haven't sent housekeeper in to clean the room.
Mitsuki shuts the door behind her, and goes into the restroom and looks at her reflection. She splashes her face. Beside you, was always me. Beside me, was always you. Suddenly, there is a knock on her door. "Who is it?" Sumire calls.
"Tae! I was seeing if you got home safely." Mitsuki rushes to open the door. Tae hugs Mitsuki.
"You looked really sick but I had to get home and make dinner," says Tae. "I'm glad to see that you're doing fine. You don't seem sick at all anymore."
"I'm fine! Thanks for checking on me!" Mitsuki says. Tae lets herself in and shuts the door behind her.
"I got a room here! Isn't that great? I'll only be staying for tonight and tomorrow."
"Why'd you get a room?" Mitsuki sits down on the bed. Tae sits down next to her.
"Because I thought you were still going to be sick, so I wanted to keep close watch on you. And I thought it would be kind of cool to walk to school with you. And maybe order room service. And have a party!"
"While I'm sick?"
"Oh! I thought you weren't."
"Didn't you think I was going to be sick all night?"
"But you aren't. So we can party."
Tae gets off the table and walks into the mini kitchen. "You've always got some good food." She opens the fridge, which has some fancy food with names that I don't know, and cards with prices on them. "Which one do you want?"
Mitsuki walks over to the fridge. She pulls out a small but elegant glass of blue gelatin with whipped cream and a cherry, and green sugar. Price: 10000 yen. Tae grabs one too. 20000 yen.
"Well, I am a little too hungry for just eating this, but okay." Mitsuki and Tae stare at their gelatin. Neither eat, or talk, or get spoons.
Mitsuki looks over at the window. Suddenly, there are two girls that look like her there. One is sitting on Sumire's chair. The other is on Mitsuki's chair. The girl in Sumire's chair's mouth moves. The one in Mitsuki's chair leans in. Her mouth moves again, and the girl in Mitsuki's chair falls on the floor.
The girl from Sumire's chair gets on the window sill, and points. Then she falls.
Mitsuki drops her gelatin. Her vision gets blurry. She rubs her eyes, and the hallucination is gone. Mitsuki begins to cry.
"Mitsuki", Tae, "What's wrong?" Tae sets her gelatin down on the counter. So what should I do when you are no longer beside me?
"If only…I knew what…she was pointing at?" Tae puts her hands on Mitsuki's shoulders.
"You probably want to be alone. I'll leave." Tae takes her gelatin with her and leaves the room. "Sumire, where are you?"
The next day - After School (Big Time Skip, I know)
Mitsuki opens the door to the host club. "Hello!" Everyone looks up.
People talking: "She's that girl from yesterday…that's Saionji Mitsuki…don't look her in the eye, she's a murderer….what are they letting her in the school for?"
Mitsuki walks up to Kyouya and Haruhi. "I'd like to designate Kaoru and Hikaru!"
"There is a long list with people who have made reservations for every day of the year, who made the reservations last year. The earliest you'll be able to sit with Kaoru and Hikaru is…" Kyouya flips through his notebook. "Tomorrow."
"Eh? Tomorrow? That was unexpected," Mitsuki smiled. She looks up at Kyouya. "Do you really need glasses?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"Because I figured you were just wearing them to look smart. I guess I was wrong."
"You were."
"Do you wake up grumpy?"
Kyouya adjusts his glasses. "The earliest you'll be able to sit with Kaoru and Hikaru is tomorrow. So come back then?"
"What's your name?"
"Ootori Kyouya."
"Ah! I know you. Medical stuff. We have Ootori company first-aid kits in every Hotel Room," Mitsuki says.
"That's right."
"See you tomorrow, Kyouya!" Mitsuki walks out of the room. "Sumire, this is Kyouya Ootori?" Mitsuki pulls out her cell phone and opens a picture of Sumire. "The boy you fell in love with?"
Author's Note: Don't expect chapters to come out this quickly. I didn't feel like doing my homework, so I stalled by writing this. I'll continue to write this. If I end up uploading the third chapter, it will be a chapter farther than my last fan fiction which I so rudely abandoned. But I was getting bad reviews on that one, and I didn't like it anyway. ANYWAY, review please.
