WOMAN HOOD –a kyouyaxtamaki fanfict…12/5/2006

Chapter: 2 lessons in love

Kyouya had hoped to be changed back in three days. However despite Nekozawa's pleas with the disgruntled dark magic club member, Kyouya was still very female.
He'd noticed his thinking was different, Renge had dragged 'her' off shopping twice already and to his horror she was slowly beginning to enjoy it. It's not that Kyouya didn't already like shopping but it was online and for electronics. This was a different kind of shopping.
First they went to the bookstore and read shoujo manga. They'd discuss which boy was cuter and who the heroine should end up with, Kyouya was always routing for the lovable idiot. Renge always smiled at her and said "Haruhi would be upset he's not your 'type'". Kyouya's response was to get up blushing and go buy coffee; Renge would always watch and laugh. Then they'd shop for clothes. Sometimes they'd drag Haruhi with them. To Kyouya's surprise he was having fun doing this.

Kyouya also found himself talking with the customers with more interest, as opposed to before when he had only pretended. The one big difference was he was not Kyouya of the host club but Kyouko the cousin of Kyouya. Tamaki was the one who came up with that 'brilliant name', Kyouya had apposed it but the name had caught on by the next day...
"Ne? Kyouko-chan!? You want some cake!?"
Honey looked up at her with his regular cute smile. Kyouya found, to his horror, he'd become happy when he saw it and would always mutter 'moe' for some reason. Renge was starting to infect him with her otaku-ness he'd suspected eating the cake, which before this he'd never eaten. Haruhi had sat next to her and offered her tea with that kind smile. Kyouko ALWAYS requested Haruhi, much to Tamaki's sorrow.
/Flashback to yesterday/
'Why won't you request me!!?' He'd said with a pitiful look. Kyouya never answered him, even though he knew. "Our budget is too high this week!" she'd growl and look at him like hungry bear. At this point Tamaki had went to his little corner of woe and sulked. 'You're an idiot' Kyouko had muttered sadly under her breath, and turned back to her laptop.
/End/
"Kyou-chan?" Harhui said now looking resentfully at her, the resentment was because Kyouko had announced she was dating Haruhi yesterday. Renge had been upset she hadn't gotten to say it. Tamaki had screamed "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?" and fainted.
Kyouko smiled at her and answered "yes darling!?" Haruhi flinched slightly. "Why don't you request Tamaki-sempai?" she asked looking right at her with those raccoon eyes.
Underneath Kyouko sweated, 'Of course the girl asks me that' Kyouya screamed inwardly, 'Always going straight for the jugular this girl.' on the outside she just smiled with her pink frames hiding her eyes.
"Because then...It wouldn't be real." she answered cryptically. That threw Haruhi in a loop. "Eh?" she said blinking at her. Kyouya turned and sipped her tea in victory, "Your tea is a bit weak, darling." she added insult to injury.
Across the room at Tamaki's table the girls all looked at each other in concern. Tamaki's lavender eyes were glued at Haruhi's table and his face was a mixture of resentment and jealousy. Honey looked at Mori and sighed causing the girls to squeal "KAWAII!!!!" happily.
Tamaki's behavior had gotten very distressing to entire the host club. The twins always tried to distract him with costume ideas. But it backfired when Tamaki had started requesting things like 'Romeo and Juliet', 'princess and the pea' and other romantic stories. And he was always the male lead and wanted Kyouya to be Juliet. Kyouya had hit him with his notebook and said "Talk sleep when your sleeping!", Haruhi had chimed in with "Everyone thinks Kyouya is away on business so Kyouko cant be dressing up, Sempai!".
To make matters worse Tamaki had invited himself over to Kyouya's house. Ueno and the middle brother were always interrupting them and glaring at Tamaki. When Kyouya would tell them not to they'd laugh and hug her saying "Aw so cute!" and then run away before the potted plant hit them. Actually, it was very good that they did this.
"Ta...Tamaki stop that"
Tamaki ignored her request and kissed her neck. Kyouya didn't like that look in his eye.
"Your eyes are like two large sapphires in a sea of pearls!"
Tamaki recited, making Kyouya turn red. 'He always has to be corny!' Kyouya thought sighing.
"Hey, Kyou-cha-" Ueno had come in with a tray of cakes but when he saw them in this position (i.e. Tamaki pinning Kyouya down with his hand around her hip) he stopped. Tamaki ought to have sensed the growing doom behind him but he was preoccupied with stroking Kyouko's delicate chin.
"Um...Baka?"
Kyouya tried to save him but it was too late.
"YOU PERVERT!!!!!!"
Ueno growled grabbing Tamaki and escorting him outside and throwing him like a trash bag. Kyouya walked out and crotched next to him. "Why are you such an idiot?" she asked looking annoyed.
"I'm not a pervert!" Tamaki whimpered looking up at her with large tear-filled eyes.
Kyouya was a sucker for those puppy dog eyes; "Of course not Tamaki!" she said "Let's go get coffee!"
Somehow they ended up at Harhui's home, "Err ...Tamaki this isn't", Tamaki was too busy ringing the door. Haruhi opened the door saw Tamaki and looked at Kyouya. Kyouko shrugged at her sighing. Tamaki walked in sat down and asked for coffee. "I guess he wants instant coffee?" Kyouya whispered to her looking annoyed. Haruhi didn't want them here and luckily her dad didn't either. "My girl-friends are coming over, get!" Renka shouted. Haruhi's father didn't seem to notice the girl was actually Kyouya so he was also kicked out. Haruhi made no effort to stop her father; she just waved and shut the door.
The two stood outside in surprise. Then Kyouya dragged Tamaki, who was whimpering "Cruel daughter" to a REAL coffee house.
"Why do you have to be selfish?" Kyouya muttered holding a Chai latté with 3 sugars in her hands. Kyouya wondered why his hands were so dainty and pretty now, and then remembered Ren-chan (somewhere along the line Kyouya started calling her "Ren-chan".) had taken her to get manicures. "Will I ever be a guy again?" he said without thinking. Tamaki looked at her and said, "But you're so beautiful! You don't need to be a guy!". Kyouya looked at him solemnly and then sipped her tea. Tamaki's inner mind was in a panic. 'Oh no! I've upset her! I must cheer her up!' he screamed, outwardly his thoughts appeared on his face. When he looked up Kyouya was off looking at the teacups.
Tamaki popped over and stood next to her anxiously. "What?" Kyouko's voice was cold as the ice in her Chai latté.
"Err..."
Tamaki was at a loss, he was never at a loss.
"Did. I say something wrong?" her asked, suddenly cornering her. Kyouya's face turned red again. "It's a crime to look sad with such a gorgeous face!" Tamaki said smiling. 'This again', Kyouya's face got progressively sadder. 'What did I say!? That always makes girls feel better!' Tamaki was trying to reason and didn't notice Kyouya slip past him.
Tamaki's mind was in a panic 'why was Kyouya so sad! What had I done!?' he wondered.
"I'm leaving" Kyouya announced dropping the haft drunk latte in the trash and exiting. Tamaki rushed after her and caught her "A lovely lady like you shouldn't be unescorted!"
Kyouya's eyes hid behind her pink glasses.
"Stop it."
Tamaki hugged her tightly and said "The true joy of a man is seeing the one they love smile,"
"Stop it!" Kyouya's voice was louder, Tamaki blinked at her.
Kyouya's mouth curled under into a frown
"I said...STOP IT!!!"
Kyouya pulled away from Tamaki and slapped him hard on the cheek.
Then he realized it and stepped back. "Just stop..."
Tamaki thought he'd made Kyouya uncomfortable with his hugging
"Ah ok I wont hug you!"
"That's not it..."
Tamaki was confused, "Eh?"
"It's not the hugs...stop saying that."
Tamaki was at a loss.
"You don't want to be romanced?"
"..." was the be-spectacled girl's response. Tamaki world was in turmoil, a girl who DIDNT want romance?! How could there be such a thing!
"Do you want to know why I don't request you?"
Kyouya's soft voice stopped his thoughts, Tamaki looked at Kyouya. Her expression still hidden behind those glasses, but her shoulders where hunched. Tamaki read this as angry kyouya.
"Err... "
"It wouldn't be real."
Tamaki was as confused as Haruhi had been earlier.
"Not real?" he questioned. Tamaki had always considered his relationship with his customers as being real, and precious to him.
, Tamaki stepped forward foolishly, "Silly girl... I value my customers!" he said reaching to take Kyouya's face in his hands.
"I'M NOT ONE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!!"
Tamaki whimpered and stepped back looking frightened.
Kyouya was definitely angry, he thought wishing he'd taken the warning. 'Wait what had she said? 'He suddenly thought.
Tamaki looked at Kyouya's face and gasped. Tamaki had known Kyouya since middle school. He'd hung out with the megane all the time, seen every range of expression on the boy's face. But never this one, He'd hoped he'd never have to see it. Kyouya's eyes where a mixture of hurt and anger, tears ran down her face distorting the beauty of it. Tamaki found himself frozen; he couldn't move over to her and comfort her like he wanted.
"What do you mean Kyouya?"

"What do I mean!?" she snapped glaring at him "All those romantic things you said you remember them?!"
Tamaki could only nod.
Kyouya scoffed and looked away scowling "You said them to your customers."
"WHA!" Tamaki panicked pressing rewind in his head and remembering 2 days ago when a customer of his was crying.
Tamaki took her into his arms and said...
Oh my god...
Tamaki looked at Kyouya in horror. "Oh…. Kyouya! I-I didn't! It's not …"
"I'm supposed to be your best friend." her voice cracked uncharacteristically, "But you're trying to romance me like I'm a customer!"
"I didn't mean to-"
Kyouya looked at him when Tamaki burst into tears.
'No... I've made him cry too...'he thought in a panic.
Despite Tamaki's depressing past he had seen nothing but happiness from the flax-colored prince of Ouran. Kyouya had made it his mission in life to make sure Tamaki was always happy.
'Even if it meant that Tamaki would end up with someone else, as long as he always had that goofy smile...'
Kyouya turned and ran away. She ran until she was blinded by the tears and unable to run away. As she slumped under the street lights glow, Kyouya broke into sobs.
'I made him cry. I never wanted to hurt him!' she yelled inwardly. Kyouya was crying too hard to see a silver haired girl standing there.
"I'm sorry..."The megane looked up and saw Tsuki standing there.
"You!!! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!"
Suddenly Kyouya's tears had been replaced with anger. Tsuki wasn't scared, "I know it is..."
"I made you fall in love with your best friend"
Kyouya stopped and smiled. Tsuki was confused when she saw Kyouya start chuckling.
"Ootori-san?" Kyouya looked at her smiling sadly.
"Your mistaken...I didn't fall in love with him just recently..."
Tsuki stared at her as Kyouya looked off with a heartbreakingly sad expression.
"I've been in love with the idiot for quite a long time now..."
"What?!"
Kyouya could have sworn Tsuki's voice had echoed just now. She looked around and sighed again.
"Oh..." Tsuki said nodding in understanding, "so you weren't snubbing me...you weren't interested because of the Suo-kun?"
Kyouya had expected Nekozawa had told her about the Kirimi incident since she'd been mean to Tamaki. In truth it was that reason he'd snubbed her.
"You were in love with me."
Tsuki froze and blushed "Y...Yes...I'm sorry! I didn't know you...GOOD LUCK!!!" she cheered.
A bright flash temporarily blinded Kyouya.
When the smoke cleared Kyouya felt lighter somehow and looked down.
'Oh... that's why 'he thought, 'Odd...I actually miss them..."

Kyouya sighed and looked down and what he was wearing, "I see why Haruhi is a tomboy..." he muttered taking off the high heels and replacing them with store bought sneakers, after glaring at the shopkeepers stares. After calling his limo driver to come get him he sat in the car dreading returning home.
'They'll go back to ignoring me for sure...since I'm not a cute girl.' he muttered grimly.
"Master Ootori? Are you sick?"
"Yes..." Kyouya responded making the driver say "eh?"
When his limo pulled up Ueno came up,"Kyouya-chan! I made-" When Kyouya came out of the door, he halted and stared at him. Kyouya felt the tears forming as he looked down and quickly ran up the stairs. Yoshiro stood on the third step and followed him with his eyes. His father stared silently at him as he went up to his room with his hair obscuring his face.
I knew it...I just knew it...
Collapsing onto his bed Kyouya broke into sobs.
Tamaki hates me now...and my family hates me again.

To be continued...
--------------------------------------------------
Ah...I told you there'd be angst...
ah I'm hungry! I have to eat! ;;
I've spent 2 hrs writing this!
I really ought to think up a fake name for Kyouya's middle brother. Ueno is "supposedly" the oldest brothers name.(probably a fan-dubbed name ;; lol...I wonder what it means?)
maybe his name should be
Yoshiro?
Err sorry I keep spouting out boob jokes ; I have a boyish sense of humor.
Also it may be sorta rushed...but apparently that's my style.
Even when I'm drawing my sketches are very very rushed. My oekakis are usually 30 mins rarely 100, though recently I have put more time using layering.
I'm sorry for the ooc-kyouya: I kind of hate myself for going with the girls are more emotional than guys stereotype. I hope I made him resemble kyouya at least T. T; I can always go with the heart is broken excuse? Right? No?
I screw up kyouya's family big time. I basically made them the older brother sterotypes; they're allot like hikaru's brothers in MKR. If you have an olderbrother, it's practically their job to tease you.
Mine did it all the time
Example:
"I'm going to flush your Barbie doll muahahahahaha"
"NOOOO! MOOOMMMYY!"
I'm just going with the stereotype cause they're personalities aren't given.

Edit Nov 29: I changed it to Yoshiro. So I guess Yoshiro is that 'sane' brother and kind of Mori like isn't he? The 'even if…' part is supposed to be Kyouya thinking that but he trails off. It makes sense in the next chapter.

Warning: this has no point...
pg-13

Kyouya didn't meet Tamaki's eyes as he entered the room. He didn't see the determined look as he walked over to him. It took the megane by surprise to when Tamaki grabbed him into a tight embrace and kissed him passionately on the lips.
Kyouya didn't react for a minute but soon he kissed back with equal passion.
Haruhi and the twins happened to walk but. Hikaru gaped and covered Haruhi's eyes, but then his where covered too.
"Eh?"
"Only grownups can watch" Kaoru's voice appeared.
Hikaru pouted as the moans got louder.
Fortunately for Tamaki and Kyouya, Mori sempai found them and dragged them all away.
As they were dragged off they heard kyouya yell "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I"M UKE!?"

Maybe...I'll see if I can add some smut into it...

Tamaki was walking through the mall with the twins when he saw Haruhi and gasped. She was wearing a pink tank top over a light blue and green shirt and cargo pants with a hello kitty iron on (idontcareifitsnotherstyleshutup. Tamaki was overcome by the cuteness and started to run over when he heard a familiar voice yell.
" Oy! HARUHI!!!"
Haruhi turned and smiled as Kyouya came up looking dishelved and annoyed.
"Harhui-CHAN, You LEFT me with the otaku again!!"
"Kyouya-kun, you seemed to be having fun reading the yaoi manga..."
Tamaki gritted his teeth 'Kyouya-kun!?" "Harhui-chan". What had happened to his best friend? He suddenly noticed Kyouya's T-shirt had strange words and 2 boys.
"I like you that is why I like you?" he questioned, Kaoru started laughing hysterically. The prince looked at him confused; Hikaru sighed and muttered, "Tamaki is innocent" under his breath.
Tamaki turned back around when he heard Haruhi laughing, "You bought allot of manga!" she chirped smiling warmly. Kyouya scowled and said "I want to check the TV game store." he said turning away and walking off. Haruhi ran after him trying not to laugh anymore "ah Wait up!"
Hikaru scowled "they're like a couple..." he grumbled making Kaoru look at him with concern. The three of them 'stealthily' followed them to a large store.
Haruhi was looking over Kyouya's shoulder at a case he held happily "They have it!"
Tamaki nearly had a heart attack.
"Smile...he...smiled" he stuttered clutching his chest and blushing.
Mind you Tamaki had seen Kyouya smiling at a customer or at someone in class. But there was a big difference in them, this was a REAL one. Kyouya had smiled warmly and with sparkles in his sharp gray eyes. The other smiles had an icy coldness hidden beneath them, like the one He'd smiled at Tamaki telling him "I'm perfectly fine". Kyouya had been more distant than normal, he made Mori look hyper. All day he sat in his chair by the table typing on his computer. Haruhi would always come over and nudge him with her shoulder then act innocent and offer him coffee. Kyouya would force a smile and thank her.
'They act like a couple'
Tamaki didn't understand why he felt so upset.
He's always been able to talk to Kyouya without trouble but now. Every time he'd try his mind flashed back to that pained look on the female Kyouya's face.
"Milord?!"
Hikaru's urgent voice snapped him out of the trance he was in.
Hikaru looked oddly relieved, that was strange. Ever since the Éclair incident he'd been a little nicer to him, he still flirted with his 'daughter'.
"Milord?!! "Hikaru yelled shaking Tamaki roughly. Kaoru cried "Easy Hikaru!"
never mind him being nice, Tamaki thought. "Eh?"
"They're going to the karaoke machine!"
Tamaki blinked and looked up. Renge-san had shown up and pushed kyouya onto the platform and catchy pop rock music started. Kyouya relented and started singing the words. Tamaki and the twins gaped in shock. Kyouya could really sing!
Haruhi smiled while Renge kept yelling "YAOI!!" which made Kyouya chuckle.
He grabbed her and handed it to her. Renge started belting out "Ima Survivor
yume ja nai nda!'Arugamama' ja nai!" out of tune. Kyouya covered his ears and took the mike away from her.
The twins looked up and saw the flax-colored prince had left them. They looked around till the heard someone singing even better than kyouya.
Looking up they saw Tamaki belting out "ai wa Daydreamin' hakanai kage
maboroshi to kieteiku mae ni te wo nobase!".
Kyouya had gotten away and was in a corner clutching his face, with renge-san looking worried. Harhui was staring at Tamaki. Tamaki looked her way and winked singing "dakishimetai mou ichido!".
"KYOUYA-SEMPAI!?" A voice interrupted him.
Tamaki stopped and looked up in time to see kyouya leave. He looked very sad like a puppy dog. The twins looked at each other and sighed. Haruhi looked at him sternly "He's in love with YOU." and ran out.

-End- (yeah I know...I don't care! )

Notes: ...
strange words
the words on Kyouya's shirt are "suki na mono no wa suki Dakara Shouganai!"
one boy has blue hair and the other is pink...

Lyrics...
OO; guess what anime it's from!
The translations: (from Now I'm a survivor
It's not a dream! It won't stay as it is
2)Love is daydreaming, a fleeting shadow
Before it disappears with the illusions, reach out your hand
3)Even if I lose everything else in exchange
I want to embrace you once more
