Disclaimer: Yes, I completely own Ouran High School host club. That's why I am writing this on . Really, I don't own them. If I did then I obviously wouldn't be writing this. I do own Abby and Dawn. (The characters not clothing line Abbey Dawn. That is not mine…)
A/N: hello again all. Okay this is a bit late and its all my fault. I have been procrastinating…but you guys are so super awesome! Thanks so much for all the feedback! Review replies at the bottom. Now, read on!
Chapter 5: Plans
In which the truth is cleared up, and the hosts make plans.
Damn. Double damn. Triple freaking damn. Stupid blond. This was all his fault, Abby seethed to herself. If he hadn't grabbed me, the twins wouldn't have also grabbed me and exposed me as a girl. Not to mention no one would know that Dawn and I are twins. Abby definitely blamed the exuberant blond boy. She thought Haruhi said his name was Tamaki or something like that.
Meanwhile, Dawn too was cursing Tamaki. The idiot was so overexcited that he had started this. If he hadn't made her come to the club, then none of this would have happened. Now she was forced to look at her sister's face, equally angry as her own.
"If everyone has calmed down," a cool voice cut in through the girls' anger, along with the twins' and Tamaki's mild freaking out. "Can we please get this sorted out?"
Abby looked over at the boy with the glasses. His tone bode no arguments, and instantly everyone was silent and looking at him. The extremely tall boy offered a hand each to the girls and pulled them up. Abby straightened her sweater so that she was completely covered once again, but unzipped it slightly as she was beginning to get hot under the stares of the club members.
"So, you are a girl, Abby-chan?" Hunny said cutely. Abby was sure that he had figured it out sooner than the twins and Tamaki had. She nodded.
The glasses guy, she couldn't remember his name off hand, cut in, "Abigail Kristina Miller, known as Abby. Age sixteen, year one, class A. Birthday is June seventh. Blood type B. Twin. Donia Kathleen Miller, known as Dawn. Age sixteen, year one, class A. Birthday is June seventh. Blood type B. Twin. Donia is the oldest one."
Now Abby was angry. She couldn't believe he had just announced not only her full name, but her birthday and blood type to a room with six other people in it. How had he even known all of that anyways? As far as she knew, no one in Japan should have had a clue of what her full name was. Not many, even in America, knew it, as she had been called Abby since before she could remember.
"Okay, I have no clue who you are, but why the hell do you know all that?" she said shortly. The boy turned to face her, and she caught a glimpse of gray before the light glared over again.
"Kyouya Ootori, year 2, class A," he answered promptly. She snorted.
"That tells me who you are, but not why you know that stuff. As far as most everyone else was concerned, besides Haruhi, I was a boy. How did you know I wasn't?"
"I merely had access to the student records, and knew that the two new students were both female, and were identical twins. How I had access to them does not concern you," he said in a chilling tone. She felt more than a little freaked out by him, and grabbed for the first person she could, hoping it was Haruhi, and pulled them in front of her. It wasn't Haruhi, however, but one of the twins who yelped when she pulled him.
She looked at him in surprise. She was pretty sure that it was the one who had grabbed her earlier. "Sorry," she mumbled, and let go of him, this time turning around, grabbing Haruhi, and pulling her instead.
"Well, I think I'm leaving now. This was fun, but let's not do it again, okay?" She paused in her backing up, still holding Haruhi and thus dragging the girl back with her, to pick up the keys that the twin had dropped. She let Haruhi go, and turned to leave, but before she could take another step towards the door, three sets of hands pulled her back, and she was dragged even deeper into the room until everyone was between her and the door. She inwardly groaned.
She saw that it had been the twins and the blond who had forcefully detained her. She was about to let loose on them, but was stopped when all three came so close to her that they completely blocked off her sight. She felt a little awkward, but refused to move back.
"You know Haruhi's secret, don't you?" one of them asked her in a serious voice. She was tempted to play dumb, and see if she could get them to back off, but she knew that she couldn't act to save her life. She had already blown her cover as a guy in less than one day. She had also apparently let it be known that she was aware that Haruhi wasn't a boy either.
"Yeah, I figured it out this morning on my way to school when she knocked into me and we both fell over," she said slowly, deciding to be honest. She had hoped that this would give a less dramatic response, unlike their many others, but was disappointed. The blond flew into a frenzy, and started wailing loudly about how his daughter was exposed. He then changed his attitude, and said something about how she could have female influence now, and become a lady. He then quieted, and went into something she dubbed "mind theater".
The twins moved away from her, and began discussing how they could silence her, shooting dangerous looks at her every now and again. Haruhi was standing close to Kyouya, and was face-palming at the antics of the club. The little guy and super tall one were quiet, and the little one was eating cake, not just a slice, but a whole cake. Dawn just stood apart from everyone, looking slightly exasperated, and probably glad that she was being ignored.
As though he knew what she thinking, Kyouya finally spoke up. "I hope you are all aware that not only have you now confirmed Haruhi's gender to Abby, but to Dawn as well." The twins and Tamaki all looked over at Dawn, who shot dirty looks at Kyouya.
She shrugged lightly, and said, "I already had it figured out before I came here. It was kind of obvious to anyone who paid attention that she was a girl, not a guy."
Tamaki blushed vividly, remembering that he hadn't known until he actually walked in on Haruhi.
Abby noticed that everyone's attention was no longer on her. She quietly moved behind their backs, and quickly reached the doors. Not daring to look back, she opened them and slipped out, taking care to shut them silently behind her. Feeling relieved, she immediately took off at a run, determined to be as far away as she possibly could be before anyone realized that she had left.
Indeed, no one did notice her departure, but Haruhi was the first to realize it afterwards. She looked behind her, expecting to still the other twin, but saw no one. A quick scan of them room showed that Abby was no longer there. She moved closer to Kyouya, who was watching Dawn stare down the twins, and said under her breath, "Abby left."
Kyouya looked up and was somewhat surprised that the other girl wasn't there anymore. He had decided not to say anything when a loud voice said, "Hey, where'd she go?" Hikaru stood looking back at where Abby had been, only to see that she wasn't there anymore. Everyone else who hadn't already noticed also looked for her.
"She left me?" Dawn said, somewhat bemused. It didn't really surprise her that Abby had ditched. She would have, too, if she'd had the chance to. She laughed out loud, and everyone looked at her once again. "She probably left with the key to the apartment while everyone was focused on me. Smart."
"Aren't you guys twins?" asked the twin closest to her, seemingly confused. His twin came up beside him and crossed his arms.
"Yeah, so what?" Dawn said distractedly. "Just because we're twins doesn't really mean much. We have a mutual dislike of each other. Us being twins only seemed to make that worse."
The whole room went silent and looked at the dark-haired girl with something in their eyes…pity?
"Look," she began, "We don't need your pity party, alright? As far back as I can remember we never really got along. So drop it. Anyways, I gotta leave. See you all later."
She managed to actually exit the room this time, and firmly shut the door behind her. She leaned against it and felt extremely exhausted for a moment. She listened to the silence, before a loud babble broke out in the host club room. Deciding she'd rather not know, she took a leaf from her sister's book, and quickly departed.
Haruhi watched her fellow hosts all make plans, ones that she would rather not be a part of. Tamaki had pulled out a whiteboard that seemed oddly familiar, and had the words, OPERATION RECONCILE THE MILLER TWINS!, written across the top of it. Beneath were the extravagant plans that she was sure would fail.
As far as she could see, the two girls didn't want help. Nor did they want to be together. She wasn't sure how they were going to reconcile the girls when they had no idea why they were this way anyways. Haruhi walked over to Kyouya, who was simply observing the plans as they progressed, like usual.
"Sempai?" she said, and Kyouya looked down at her. "Do you really think that this is going to help them at all?"
Kyouya looked up at Tamaki, who was still ferociously making plans, before smiling and readjusting his glasses. "No, but I don't believe that Tamaki will listen if we do try and tell him that. Now, Haruhi, do you know where the Miller twins live?"
Haruhi wasn't sure why he was asking her that, but she thought about it. "Well, not exactly, but I would guess somewhere close to where I live, based upon the fact that they're living on their own, most likely somewhere small, and that I met Abby on my way to school this morning."
Kyouya nodded his head, and turned back to the others. Somehow, the plan had taken up not one but two boards, and seemed overly complicated. Already, everyone else had left Tamaki, who still rambled on while writing, oblivious to the fact that he was now alone.
Hikaru and Kaoru were sitting back at their now-empty table. Hikaru was bored, and Tamaki was too preoccupied to tease at the moment. He looked around, and saw Haruhi talking to Kyouya. The two then looked at Tamaki, still making a plan. He wasn't really sure why, though. It wasn't like the sisters were their customers. Then again, Tono always did his best to make every girl happy. At first the plan had seemed fun; something to do at the very least. Now, it seemed too boring to bother with.
Kaoru watched his older brother out of the corner of his eye. He knew Hikaru well enough to realize that he was bored. He was too, he supposed, but his boredom had been temporarily lifted by the two girls. He had been rather shocked to see that the new boy in the class was actually a girl, and even more surprised when he had seen the two girls were twins, perhaps just as identical as he and Hikaru. He mentally put a wig on each of the girls to compare just their faces. Yes, they very well could be.
It made him ponder why they so blatantly disliked each other. Hikaru and Kaoru had only each other in their lives, as they closed everyone else out of it. Those two seemed to have closed each other out of their worlds.
Hikaru caught his brother looking at him. What's up? He questioned his brother.
His brother's reply was somewhat hesitant. Nothing. I'm just curious to what you're thinking about.
As far as Hikaru could remember, it had always been him and Kaoru. No one else had ever been allowed in, to the special way the brothers were connected. Then, when they had met Haruhi, everything had changed. She was the first that they had willingly let into their world, although she would never be able to completely understand. Hikaru had known this, but he still couldn't help how he felt about her. He knew it was hopeless, though, every time she looked at Tono.
Hikaru?
Hikaru looked at Kaoru again, who looked worried. He just shook his head, and said out loud, "Let's go and see what Kyouya-sempai and Haruhi are talking about."
He and his brother stood up in unison and they made their way over to the two still watching Tono ramble on. The 'plan' now took up three boards. Hikaru chuckled, wondering if Tamaki was ever going to stop, or if he was just going to go on until he turned blue in the face.
"Kyouya-sempai, why would you asked me if I knew where they lived? You probably already know, and even if you didn't you could find out quite easily, couldn't you?"
"Indeed, but that is not really important. Hikaru, Kaoru?"
The twins snapped to attention. "I need you to take Haruhi home today, and while you're there, deliver a note to apartment number 7." he handed them an envelope. They looked at it interestedly, but Kyouya warned them, "Don't open it." The words were tempting, but they knew that Kyouya was not the right person to disobey. They didn't fancy his wrath.
"Well, we have to go now, ne, Takashi?" Hunny said as he and Mori both got up from where Hunny had been devouring cake.
"Yeah," Mori said shortly. The two departed through the doors.
"Yeah, we have to get going too," Hikaru said, taking one of Haruhi's arms in his own.
"Come on, Haruhi," Kaoru finished, taking Haruhi's other arm, and the two half-carried, half-dragged her out of the door. Haruhi said goodbye to Kyouya on the way, and then was heard telling the twins to let her go, she could walk on her own.
Kyouya stood there for a few more moments, before Tamaki finally exclaimed, "There! That should do it! Now, how about it gentlemen…Kyouya, where is everyone?"
Kyouya looked up to see his blond friend standing in front of a four-board plan, looking puzzled as to why no one else was there.
"They all went home just a few minutes ago," Kyouya replied calmly.
"Home? But what about my daughter? Has she gone home safely?" Tamaki shouted.
"The twins are taking Haruhi home today."
"Those shady twins have my precious daughter! Mother, we must stop those doppelgangers immediately!"
Kyouya listened to Tamaki rant about Haruhi's safety for a few moments, before gathering up his stuff and leaving the room, already pulling out his cellphone.
It was a few minutes before Tamaki realized that he was completely alone now.
