A/N: Much longer chapter then the others. Now time for some football! (remember that Atsuko and Kimiko were raised in America)

Chapter 5 – Tokyo's American Suitehearts

Two pairs of black, 8-inch, platform, knee height, Harajuku boots took perfectly timed, symmetrical steps toward the same destination.

Ouran Academy.

Those boots belonged to the Tokyo Twins. They were wearing the school uniform dresses, only they had dyed the yellow parts white and the rest black. They had their hair down with the blindingly white ribbons set perfectly within the raven black layers. Due to constant pleading to get an education from Kazuko, the Nakamura twins were now attending Ouran Academy.

"I wonder if anyone will recognize us..." Kimiko said, trailing off in thought. Atsuko shrugged. Many people glanced at them and very few gaped as if they did recognize the twins but, truthfully, they were surprised to see twins. The others just glanced and then looked away with boredom as if identical twins were the norm. The girls finally made it to their class. They were only first years so they didn't want to start a bad reputation by showing up late to class. They glanced around at all the pairs of eyes in the room that were fixed on them.

Two of those many eyes, eyes that the girls skipped over, were golden. The Hitachiins. In between them was what seemed to be a boy but was truly a girl with very short hair and a male uniform. That girl in the middle, Haruhi Fujioka, was the only one not staring at the newcomers. Hikaru and Kaoru were a different story. They couldn't pry their eyes away from the other set of twins.

The Nakamuras could bow, as they were doing now, and pretend that they didn't know they were legends. The rest of the class believed this. All except for the Hitachiin boys.

Classes went by quickly and soon the Nakamura twins found themselves in the lunch room. Not feeling hungry or thirsty, they went to a table that was small, utterly empty, and in a corner. They sat next to one another and discussed their day along with talking about other miscellaneous things such as they're love of American cars and football.

Meanwhile, what seemed like miles away, sat Hikaru and Kaoru whose eyes were still fixed on the sole other identical twins in the dining hall. Hikaru stared at Atsuko and Kaoru at Kimiko. "What are you two dopelgangers staring at!?" demanded a frustrated, blond boy across the table. "Nothing Tamaki-senpai." Kaoru replied in a soft voice. "They're staring at the two new twins. Atsuko and Kimiko Nakamura." Haruhi explained, picking at her home-packed, "commoner" lunch. Hikaru glared daggers at her. "Hikaru." Kaoru softly cautioned his easily angered, tempered twin. With a "humph" Hikaru turned back to Atsuko as Kaoru turned his eyes to Kimiko. "And I was sure you two were gay..." Tamaki mumbled. This time both twins glared daggers at the blond annoyance.

"Let's go outside and play some football." Atsuko suggested. "Okay." Kimiko agreed as they both stood and started toward the door to the courtyard. Once outside, Atsuko pulled a football out from who knows where and tossed it to Kimiko. "I'm quarterback." she said and they ran out to a large section of pure green grass.

Surprised by the objects of their fixations' absence, Kaoru and Hikaru stood and simultaneously said, "See you all at the Host Club," then continued to walk outside. They stealthily peered out the doors to see Kimiko and Atsuko playing an odd and foreign game. Curious, they walked outside toward the girls who stopped and turned to them. Both Atsuko and Kimiko's heads noticed it was the Hitachiins at the same, slightly late time. "You two go here?" they asked. The Hitachiins nodded then said, "What are you two doing out here anyway?" "Football." "What's that?" "It's an American sport. Wanna play?" "Sure. But we don't really know how."

At that the Nakamura sisters laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's simple." Then Atsuko spoke alone, "Hikaru, you'll be on my team and Kaoru, you'll be on Kimiko's team. That way we can teach you how to play."

Once the basics had been explained and the plays had been set, the game started. Atsuko bent down over the football with Hikaru blushing at her position as he stood behind her. Kimiko and Kaoru were lined up across from the other two. Then Atsuko sang out, "Down, set, one, hut, hut, hike! Media blitz!" from the song America's Suitehearts by Fall Out Boy.

With that, she flicked the ball back to Hikaru who caught it. "Now run!" she coached. Hikaru blinked twice before he comprehended what she was saying rather then being riveted on her body. He tucked the ball under his arm as Atsuko had taught him and started running toward what they had deemed as their "goal". "Pass it here!" she shouted. From in front of him. 'Wait...wasn't she behind me?' he thought but threw the pigskin (football) anyway. It sailed across the sky in a perfect spiral but Kimiko jumped up and intercepted it. "Kaoru!" she yelled then threw the ball again. It spiraled perfectly yet again but went in such a tall arc that neither Hikaru or Atsuko could reach it. But it went slow.

Atsuko quickly came up with an idea. "Hikaru! Lift me up!" she shouted, running up to him at her oddly fast speed. "What?!" Hikaru demanded but Atsuko had already climbed on top of his shoulders. "Run toward the ball! We'll be able to reach it this way!" she commanded. Hikaru obeyed and ran as fast as he could toward the ever spiraling ball.

Kimiko saw what they were doing. 'So we're going to play Chicken, eh?' she thought and ran – at the same oddly fast speed that Atsuko had – to Kaoru. She climbed onto his shoulders and he obviously understood because he began to run toward the ball as well.

Both duos were headed straight for one another yet only Kimiko was paying attention to that fact. She smirked.
