~Third Person~
"What kind of club did you join anyways?" he asked, still amused
"Well it's a host club." He vaguely noticed that she was embarrassed before realization hit him.
"WHAT?"
The red head sat there stunned for a minute trying to put the pieces together why would Haruhi of ALL PEOPLE join a host club? That's probably one of the last things he would imagine her joining of all things. In fact, it never even crossed his mind, and Haruhi joining a gang probably ranked about a seven on his list. An image of Haruhi dressed in a maid outfit serving tea to a bunch of perverts flew passed Jason's mind for a second before; it got pushed away by an old memory. The memory was of a thirteen-year-old girl with long silver hair in pigtails with deep brown eyes filled with curiosity that could only be identified as his little sister, Luna when she was younger showing a younger version of him an article in a newspaper about Tamaki Souh. In the memory the headline wrote, "Tamaki Souh starts Host Club at Ouran!" before the memory disappeared. When he looked at Haruhi this time, it was full of curiosity. He barely noticed that Haruhi was getting all fidgety. Is this the same club she joined but weren't the members guys only?
Jason opened his mouth to say something but instead blurted out "Why does it smell like something's burning?" Haruhi seemed surprised by the statement; even the young vampire looked equally surprised, until they looked over at the stove. That had a pan filled with what…. they couldn't exactly remember on fire with smoke coming out. They both practically jumped up making their chairs fall to the floor with a thump barely being observed. Haruhi rushed to the stove, turned it off, and started opening windows to help air out the room not worrying about the pan because her partner in crime was taking care of it. As she turned off the stove, Jason took the pan off the stove. He was planning to put it under the sink until the flames expanded making him recoil slightly. His lilac-eyes glared at the fire "I Hate fire" he muttered as He quickly put it in the sink.
When the pan was put under the water a large cloud of steam floated up from it along with loud sizzle sound this caused Haruhi to flinch slightly in response to the sudden noise. While the red head seemed memorized with the steam his hand reached up to it slowly, slowly as if he was in a trance. The girl seemed to think over something before coughing into her hand "Jason you're doing it again" He seemed to freeze in his spot thinking over something before his hand down to his side with a sigh
"Sorry about that" he said good naturally. "I may be able to control water but it still controls me," he said mysteriously.
She smiled slightly glad he was out of his trance but she knew clearly what it meant. As if to change the subject a sly grin formed its way across his face " let's not put me on the hot spot now so…" he turned around and walked up to the brunette's previous chair picking it up and pulling it back and motioning her to sit down, which she obliged. "What's this about a host club?" he asked with mock authority as she sat down.
"Where should I start officer?" Haruhi asked with a chuckle
"Start from the beginning or I'll throw you in the slammer" he joked but his eyes shone with interest.
O0o One Story and 15 minutes of laughter later. That end with Haruhi (whose face was stained with a blush) throwing a towel at Jason's face to shut him up, which he did at the look she was sending him. But he couldn't stop his last remark before it slipped out
"So you kissed a girl and didn't like it?" which got him smacked in the head with a wooden spoon
"OWW"
Next Morning ~
Jason woke up and started to rub his eyes trying to get rid of his drowsiness, but paused when a light snore was heard. The red head blinked when he was just noticing the light weight on his chest. After a quick look around him, He figured he and Haruhi must have fell asleep on her sleeping mat in her room, when they were talking about everything and anything, catching up as much as possible. He felt a smile tug at his lips as he looked down and saw Haruhi laying on top of him using him as a pillow while their feet where tangled together. Haruhi was dressed in pink pajama pants that are covered in little yellow ducky and a gray oversized shirt. Jason seemed content with just lying there but knew it would be bad if his little friend skipped school with Haruhi being a scholar student and all...Na he decided to let her sleep a bit longer. A vibrating sound echoed around the room. Knowing it was his phone, Jason hurriedly answered his phone before the ring tone would start and wake up his friend.
"hello?" he whispered
"Big brother!" The teen instantly knew that it was his little sister Luna calling. But does she have to be so loud! The sudden loudness made him wince slightly.
"What is it imouto" Jason replied softly as he absentmindedly played with Haruhi's hair without her wig her hair reached almost her shoulders giving her almost a bob like hairstyle. It was surprisingly soft from being under a wig for so long.
"Ni-San are you okay! Why are you so quiet!" anyone could tell Luna was panicking which he won't blame her for. Because the last time he was quiet on the phone he had a sword run through his stomach and called her for help just after he got it out of his gut and was on the verge of falling unconscious.
"no, no I'm fine I just have a sleeping raccoon on my belly." he heard an exasperated sigh on the other end of the line.
"Jason don't tell me your still sleeping in tree's" Luna sounded disappointed he probably would never know why though, sleeping in trees are fun!
"no I haven't lately I was talking about Haruhi." by now he was struggling to keep his voice down.
"So you're a pervert now?" she joked while a tick mark found its way on Jason's forehead.
"No" he sighed, before he continued "Just leave my bike in the alley by the apartments, and put the keys in the bag that is attached to it. Then close the lock on the bag, I have the only key. There in hide out 23 understand?" He spoke seriously.
"Okay I'm on it I'll send your most trusted ally to do the job" he chuckled finding it funny when she used her no-messing-around-business-tone.
"That would be you "court Jester" or Johnny" obviously it was part of a code.
"I know "prince" or should I call you "knight one"" she sounded extremely proud of that fact, heck she always does when Jason admits she's his go to gall, a thing he would never understand.
"I left enough money under the seat for a taxi and breakfast you could have it or if Jonny comes" he offered quietly as he heard a snore come from the so called 'raccoon'.
"Thanks boss! Oh yeah today's Saturday so you don't have to wake Haruhi up early." the smile was evident in her voice.
"Thanks sis" he smiled happy with the reminder. "Text me when you get everything set talk to ya later" Jason ended the conversation with a grin after his sister said her goodbye he closed the phone. He played with Haruhi's hair some more before he decided to wake her up. He carefully flipped them over so he was on top with his legs on either side of Haruhi's waist. He knew that if that if anyone walked in right now they would probably get the wrong idea, but then again he could care less. Jason was careful as to not put all of his weight on Haruhi as he sat up and began his attack...Tickling?
"Hahahahawahahhha" Haruhi's eyes popped open as she started to laugh it took her a while to figure out what was going on. When she did she tried her best to give a glare but found it hard to look mad when your laughing, Jason joined in on the laughing when she tried to glare at him.
A bag of chips 1$
A New Pair of Jeans 15$
The Face She Made Priceless.
"S-s-to-pp i-it" of course ever the loyal friend he stopped but continued to chuckled. Jason then swiftly leaned down and kissed her on the forehead with a childish air. He then hopped up and took off running out the door Haruhi right on his heels. She smiled at the familiar feel of it all. They made a lap around the apartment she could never catch up with him but he always slowed down so he was within reach before speeding right out of her reaching distance. Haruhi smiled and stopped, sliding a little because of her socks, a bit out of breath. Jason looked back not hearing her footfalls, just to see her pointing in front of him while smiling sweetly. He looked in front of him just in time to see he was about to run into a wall. Jason closed his eyes briefly but when he opened his lavender eyes they were blue and when he hit the wall he seemed to evaporate upon its touch. Leaving Haruhi standing there staring at the wall with a blank look on her face.
A few seconds later you could hear the red head safely on the other side of the wall which happened to be the bathroom. "Did you think a wall could take me down H-a-r-u-h-i" he vocalized.
Which her only response to him was to roll her eyes at her friends' antics. "Alright tough guy I'll be in the kitchen making breakfast, when you're done picking up the mess you made." she said jokingly. Haruhi started walking towards the kitchen but pasted a mirror expecting her hair to be a mess from running around she looked in the mirror and found her hair to look like it was combed through, but she shrugged it off and continued on her way.
Jason walked out of the bathroom "Haruhi don't worry about it, let's go out and eat breakfast at an awesome place I found" then looked at the living room with a frown the cushions on the couch was knocked off and a painting tilted with was the wall he ran through. So he did as she said and put back the few items out of place and walked to the kitchen.

I walked into the kitchen to find Haruhi sitting at the table doing some homework I sat across from her wondering why she seemed to be acting a bit differently than I remember she seems like she's been hanging out with a barrel of monkeys and from her description she has. I sat there a bit watching her study with my head in my arms. I was used to this though every Saturday she would study, then I would help with chores before I dragged her out to do something fun. Like swimming, going to the park, driving without a license things like that. Ahh man I could go on forever with all of my adventures I dragged her on. She was always up for them if I let her do her studying beforehand mostly because sometimes adventures could last a while.
Suddenly my phone went of making me jump a bit a little of rock music played before Haruhi's mom's voice. Her mom made a small recording for me of her saying "Don't give up don't you dare stop doing what you love just because of others criticism. She gave it to me because I love messing with electronics and other things taking them apart and finding out how they tick kids used to make fun of me calling me a nerd and stupid for even bothering to figure it out. But I didn't care at the time until other kids parents dubbed me as a future dangerous misfit and a dud. Which made other kids not be able to hang out with me much, so I tried to act how they wanted I was still young then about 6. Until her mother gave me her advice I started to be myself and ended up making friends with older kids who thought my hobby was great. She gave it to me before the accident happened I couldn't part from it and listen to it a lot. I briefly saw Haruhi look up at me with surprise before I read the message.
From Luna:
Okay I dropped of the bike and took some of the money for breakfast but I can't stay here long because I have to get back home to help mom with her garden since I promised :) see you later!
I smiled as I closed it and looked up to see Haruhi still staring at my phone probably because it had her mom's voice before... I can't say what happened it even makes me tear up just thinking about it.
I gave her a grin "that reminds me I didn't give you my present yet it's in my bike I'll be right back ok" she just nodded and watched me walk out the door. I hurried up and went out the door hopping over the side ramp to get down faster plus I love the feel of wind even if it's just a small one from falling. I landed on my feet knees bent just a bit to take the shock off the landing. I walked down the street about a block and turned down the nearby alley to see my bike. I smiled slightly it was my bike aright, It's a deep crimson Suzuki with black markings like the scull I like to have on my clothing and a pair of vampire teeth on the side. I reached into my sock and pulled out a key and inserted into the lock on my bike where I attached my bag so I don't have to worry about it falling off when I speed down the road. After unlocking it I picked up my bag that was pitch black with a white mark on it it's the sign I use as a signal of the group I'm apart of and lead with only one other.
The sign is a skull that is pure white with a red rose colored kanji that mean revolution. There are symbols of the four elements symbolizing our leadership since we both control two out of four elements so we have all the elements put together. I started trekking back to the apartment, but paused when something caught my eye more like someone in the shadows. `I spotted a wolf with soft deep brown fur and even deeper auburn eyes, but what it stood out more than a wolf in broad daylight was the silver chain it was wearing around its neck that ended with a carefully crafted crest. The wolf had a small piece of paper rolled up in its mouth. After looking at it recognition set in and I realized who it was its guy I call Yoshi which means hero and righteousness I thought it was perfect for him. With a mask of indifference I squatted down in front of him and stuck my hand out to get what was most likely a letter. Yoshi nimbly dropped it in my hand, I petted his head just to get an annoyed look in return, and with a quick smile I immediately unrolled the paper. And just like I thought it was a message I quickly scanned over the contents only to feel myself smirk.
"So Yoshi you want to give me a mission does this mean you're scared of getting caught after you saw her" I asked in amusement I saw Yoshi look away with embarrassment which only made me smile more. "its okay bud your still the best plus if I remember I owe you one" I ruffled the fur on his head. Yoshi looked back at me you could tell he was laughing now mostly because we both know I don't owe him one. He started to talk telepathically one of his ability's but it makes his voice hum and echo just slightly.
"Thank you I appreciate it in return I will help you protect the girl" that's why I call him Yoshi because of its meanings. I nodded appreciatively and stood up.
"You can stick around as long as you want but I think it would be wise to stay out of site and I will do the mission for you when an opportunity rises."
"Will do Jason will do"
Third person pov
Jason picked up the bag and headed back to where Haruhi was to hand her the gift he had planned to give her. After reaching the apartment he opened the door aware she would know it was him. As he put his bag on the counter he briefly looked up and noticed she was sitting in the same spot with a troubled look on her face. The red head quickly lifted up a few pair of his clothes to see the present carefully nestled in between. Jason picked up the present wrapped in sparkly pure white wrapping paper and set it in front of her. Haruhi smiled gratefully. "Jason you didn't need to get me a gift"
"I know but I wanted to do this, plus I know you're going to love it" he said with a happy excited attitude. She proceeded to open the box carefully having no clue if it was fragile since he picked it up carefully. After getting the paper off, she removed any tape and lifted up the lid what she found made her gasp slightly out of character. But then again the host club never gave her anything useful or practical just things she would never need or want like that white swimsuit the twins gave her for her last birthday. She didn't even know they came in that color! Anyway what she saw it the box meant a lot to her it was a music box shaped like a suitcase but it was the picture that made her gasp it was her mom and her. In the picture Haruhi was laying down in her bed at the young age of 5 with her mother kneeling next to her bed by the looks of it singing.
"Go on twist the nob" Jason encouraged suddenly, seeming to try to not bounce in his seat in excitement. Without further ado she twisted the nob gently a few times. When she let go, she smiled brightly it was her mom's voice saying "Haruhi never give up and keep on going towards your goal" enthusiastically. It was a phrase her mom would often say to her when she got frustrated but mostly her mother (Kotoko) would say it to others to help encourage them. Then the song started the one her mother would sing to her almost every night. Haruhi smiled up at Jason practically beaming with joy, "Thank you Jason you're the best" He chucked before sitting down when he did she asked him how He did it. only to get a statement that he knows a vampire that can go into your head and literally take pictures and record your memories, if you give the guy permission.
"Alright I'm going to take a quick shower because I'm sure you want to finish your studying right?"
"Na I already finished the rest of it while you were gone ill just change my clothes and put up my books" Haruhi replied reasonably
Jason nodded after a quick shower he was dressed in a plain white shirt with a dark blue hoodie without the sleeves with a pair of normal jeans. While Haruhi just changed into a light and dark pink striped shirt with light blue capris. Haruhi took one look at Jason and thought the outfit looked like Mori would wear. After Jason hooked his bag back to his bike he and Haruhi drove off. Just then a limo pulled in front of the apartment complex. The driver was the only one to notice the motorcycle driving off.
