ENJOY THE STORY~~ ))
"The beach?" Asked Haruhi and I. The two of us were working on some of our homework until the twins said something about the beach.
"Yes! The beach!" They said together. As much as I like the idea of going to the beach, I had some other things to worry about. Who would take care of the restaurant when Mom was sick? I can't trust Mika, she'll just close it for the day and go off shopping.
"The beach…" Haruhi said again. Hikaru spoke, "You said it before didn't you?"
"You wouldn't mind going to a real beach." Kaoru finished off for him.
"I did?" With attitude Haruhi, I sometimes wonder if you even remember my name. Hikaru and Kaoru looked annoyed like I did, saying, "Yes, you did. And so…" They moved aside and showed off these swimsuits that I wouldn't want to be caught dead with!
"…We prepared some swimsuits for you and Mao!" They said. "Isn't this cute?" Kaoru asked. I slammed my pencil down on the table, glaring at the swimsuits. I haven't worn one since elementary on the trip. The swimsuit the twins showed us was a two piece with some frilly stuff that I don't know the name of. Crap, I hate my memory!
Honey-Oppa popped up, "I think…that this would look good on Haru-chan!" Honey-Oppa said with a one piece suit that was blue, almost like a sailor outfit. He lifted another one and it was pink. "And this one would look good on Mao-chan!" He said. The outfit that he picked for me was frilly at the top and bottom, a two piece suit. It had strings over the neck to easily untie and some ribbons.
Hikaru and Kaoru tsked. "You don't get it, huh Honey-senpai?" Said Hikaru. Oh my god, why is everyone looking at the swimsuits! Them perverts! So not like Lee Min Ho and G-Dragon! So much more like my type!
"Just wearing this uniform helps to gloss over the fact that Haruhi's as flat as a cutting board." Said Kaoru. The two were holding Haruhi like some kind of rag doll with one of their arms. Is she really that light? "A one-piece type suit like that would only invite tears, by making it obvious how utterly poor her figure is." Wow, and to think they're the sons of a popular fashion designer.
"And for Mao, she's has them. They're the miracle breasts. Not too small or too big. But with her figure, it would be so obvious how poor it is with just a one piece suit. Don't get us wrong Honey-senpai, that suit you picked for Mao is not that bad. On that point, we carefully selected these separate-type suits!" They said in unison. I lost interest after I heard 'miracle breasts'. I stared, well, more like glared, when I saw the stupid suits. Haruhi's looked alright but mine was even more girly. There were frills at the top and bottom with ribbons. It was sort of like Honey-Oppa's choice but the top part more looked like a tube top that Mika has.
"The frills make a fine job of covering the absence of any bust!" The twins said. They're idiots. But they're my idiots!
Wait…..what?!
Just then, Tama-Hyung came and used them as balls for his baseball thing, getting a homerun!
"How dare you guys' heap sexual harassment on my little girls! That's enough of that!" Wow, he was really angry that I sweat dropped.
"Then, we aren't going to the beach?" The twins said, hiding behind the table Haruhi and I were using to study. Tama-Hyung swung his baseball bat on his shoulder. "Whoever said we weren't going?"
Crap! Then we are going!
"Oh, then you do want to go!" The twins said.
"Can Usa-chan come, too!" AWW! Honey-Oppa was just so cute!
"I have no objections." Kyo-Hyung said, still writing on his notebook.
"Huh? We're really going?" Asked Haruhi, more confused than usual.
"WHAT!? Who's going to take care of the café! I have a business to run there!" I said, kicking down a figurine because going to the beach seemed like a waste of time.
"Come on, let's go to the beach!" Tama-Hyung said.
"This host club sounds fun! It sounds like one of those Korean dramas where the heroine genderbends to learn more about the boy and they end up falling in love! Maybe, Mao, you'll have a reverse harem!" My mother said, placing the plates on the table. I spit out the water I was drinking and started coughing.
"MOM! No way! They're all my Hyung-nims! Well, technically, they're my Oppas but you get the point!" I yelled that the neighbors could hear us.
"Ah! Mao…. YOU BARELY TALK ABOUT CUTE BOYS BESIDES THE ONES IN THE DRAMAS! SOMETIMES, I TALK TO YOUR FATHER AND WE AGREE THAT MAYBE YOU LIKE GIRLS! HOW FRIGHTFUL! HOW DID YOU BECOME SUCH A GIRL LIKE THAT! IF YOU ARE DEAR DAUGHTER, I'LL STILL LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE MY LITTLE GIRL! I'LL APOLOGISE FOR YOU! I'M SORRY MY DAUGHTER LOVES GIRLS! SORRY WORLD!" My mom yelled, holding onto my shirt. I seriously sweat dropped.
"GAH! MOM! OKAY OKAY! I GET IT! AND STOP DOING THAT! THE NEIGHBORS ARE GOING TO THINK WE'RE CRAZY!"
"But…we are crazy. Now, anyways, about the beach they invited you to?"
~/+/~
"So, why Okinawa?" The twins asked.
"Kyoya's folks have a private beach here."Of course he does! It's seemingly impossible for a rich family to not own a private beach!
"It's a beautiful place, huh?" Honey-Oppa said. "Yeah." Mori-Oppa agreed with Honey.
"But as long as we're going somewhere, why not…"
"The Caribbean…" Hikaru asked. "Or Fiji?" Said Kaoru.
"Do you think commoners like Haruhi and Mao have a passport?" Kyo-Hyung said. "Ah…" The twins said together.
"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness." Said Haruhi. I just turned my head away from the guys and walked towards the beach. "Yeah…thanks so much for thinking about us!" I said sarcastically. Now you gotta admit, the beach is really pretty and the ocean was so….blue…
…
…..
BLUE LOBSTER! MY LOVE! THE OCEAN COLOR REMINDS ME OF YOU! I WANT TO TASTE YOU AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE I DIE! WHY MUST WE BE APART!
"Did you happen to eat sugar before you got here Mao?" Kyo-Hyung asked, drinking some bottled water. "Yeah. Sorry, I stayed up all night cooking some food for Mika and mom, Kyoya-kun~!" I said and he started choking on it. Tama-hyung hits him in his back while I skipped happily to the beach. I didn't see the others looking at me so…possessively or angrily. So…Jealous…
~/=/~
Tama-Hyung was flirting with the customers again. Man, I knew there was a catch for coming here. If I knew about it, I wouldn't have come. Damn, now I know how Jan Di felt when the F4 came in their yacht and interrupted her on her fishing trip with her friend.
Everyone was working besides me and Haruhi.
"This suck." Haruhi grumbles. "I though going to the beach was a day-off." She said.
"I was just thinking the same thing." I said, sitting upright after leaning back on the map we were sitting on right now. I turned my head and saw Honey and Mori-Oppas doing some weird exercise.
Seconds later, some of Haruhi's customers come and talk to her.
"Umm…Mao-kun." I heard my name being called and saw some of my number one guests. I remember Nana anywhere!
"Is there something wrong?" I asked them, getting up. You know, since I'm standing up, I just realized that I'm a like six inches taller than all of them but compared to the guys, excluding Honey-Oppa, I'm a pipsqueak!
"Aren't you going to swim." Nana asked me. I tilted my head. Well, I was going to swim but something was stopping me…
"Papa! Swim! SWIM! They're coming!"
"I would but I must stay here. I must look after all of you, my Noonas. I don't want anything to happen to you all." I said, blushing a bit at the thought of it. I gotta look after my seniors and make them happy! "No, Mao-kun! Don't mind us! Please stay here and look after us!" They said. I smiled and patted their heads. One of them fainted and I helped carry her until she woke up. "Be safe!" I said and walked back to the map. Haruhi sent off her customers too. She looked at me funny with her raised eyebrows.
"What?" I said. She shook her head and chuckled. "Nothing. I'm just impressed how you look after those younger and older than you. Even me." She said. My eyes widen and my mind was blank.
"I can't believe he fooled us." Hikaru whines. I turned my head to look at the twins.
"Yeah. Who'd have thought he'd bring guests with us?" Kaoru asked.
"I invited you club members along for free," Kyo-Hyung said, "So be sure to perform your services." He finished. SO IT WAS HIS IDEA! MOM, AND YOU ACTUALLY LIKE THEM!?
"But the guests here…"Kaoru said.
"…Haruhi and Mao won't be able to wear her swimsuits."
"Everything has been taken into account!" Meanwhile when Tama-Hyung was talking, Honey-Oppa was chasing some girl. "Did you think I would let my dear little angel and my precious tiger in their swimsuits be exposed to your eyes?" Tama-Hyung finished. The real pervert here is you Tama-Hyung. Don't forget I haven't forgotten the Physical exam episode! YOU ALMOST TOUCHED HARUHI NOONAS BREASTS! He then goes into his little mind theater.
INSIDE-TAMAKI'S BRAIN THEATRE
And then, come sundown, Haruhi, Mao and I will take a stroll, just the three of us, along the shore.
"It's such a beautiful sunset. I could just stare at it forever." Haruhi says, her hand behind her head like in one of those Korean dramas that she admires. "It would be our greatest wish to stay here like this and watch it together forever with you Tamaki-Oppa." Says Mao, smiling.
"Or something along those lines! That would be just too much, huh?" Tama-Hyungs face turned red and started to act happy, squirming around everywhere.
The twins and Tama-Hyungs talk to each other while I stomped my way over and flicked his forehead, getting his attention. "You're such a pervert! You-! You-! IDIOT! YEAH! Idiot! There's no way Haruhi Noona will belong to you! Haruhi Noona is a beautiful person that deserves the best of the best!" I said with my head up high. "Do something to her and I'll make sure that you end up the same way like that jaguar the other day!" I screamed. I looked at Tama-Hyungs expression and saw him wince. Great, he's totally scared of me.
"Bu-but…I wasn't thinking of Haruhi. I was th-th-thinking of y-y-you!" Tama-Hyung says. I blushed lightly. Yeah right! I've been known to scare people way because I would always watch out of Mika. The best I could do was lifting my fist in the air and lightly punch Tama-Hyung's head and still blush. "Pft! Right! You'd have to be insane to love the "Bipolar Tiger"." I said, walking off with Haruhi and angrily stare at the guys.
"Haru-chan! Mao-chan!" I looked up from my muttering to see Honey-Oppa, calling Haruhi and I. I smiled as he waves. "Wanna go hellfish hunting with me?" He asked.
"You mean shellfish hunting, right?" Haruhi sweat dropped while I just looked around to look for shellfish. The beach is a good place to eat some marine life like fish, especially some cod or fish tacos Dad used to eat a lot. Dad would have loved it to be at the beach again.
"And this doesn't seem to be that kind of beach, Honey-senpai…" Haruhi started and then looked at the bucket Honey-Oppa had next to him, it already had a mountain of shellfish in it.
I looked around again and saw so many crab and shellfish that it wasn't funny. "WHAT THE HELL!?" I heard Haruhi scream the same. The whole shore was covered! And no blue lobster in sight! WAH! OF COURSE THERE ISN'T! THIS ISN'T THE ENGLISH CHANNEL!
I tried not to get in the way of the crab that just wanted to pinch my toes off and headed where Mori-Oppa was, looking over the rocks. What I saw didn't even surprise me as much as it should have. Kyo-Hyung with his folks police force, wanting to say sorry for Honey-Oppa and so they brought this many shellfish. Well, I'm glad that they're making up from the water park incident.
I sweat dropped. Suddenly, my feet began to get slippery from the sea algae that were around the rocks. "Crap…crap crap!" I yelled. I closed my eyes to embrace impact. Luckily Mori-Oppa was there, holding me bridal style. I blushed because this seemed like a scene of My Little Bride. I didn't really bother looking elsewhere, not even where Kyo-Hyung was when he tightened his grip on his pen and clipboard.
"Look out for algae next time." He said. I nodded quickly as he sets me down.
Well, that escalated and dwindled quickly.
I went back into helping Haruhi Noona and Honey-Oppa. Yeah…I'm calling Haruhi Noona now because she's a few months older than I am.
"Amazing! What a haul!" Honey-Oppa said. I grinned, "Yeah. I can't wait till dinner! It's going to be so tasty! Hey, I wonder if there's some red algae here? It's great with Miso soup!"
"We're going to have a fancy side dish tonight huh?" Haruhi smiled, radiating with happiness. She was so happy. I nodded with agreement and thought about all the dishes I could cook! Crab cakes, steamed crabs, Oyster soup, crab soup. Oh, the possibilities are endless!
"Senpai!" She screamed happily as she spotted Tama-Hyung with Mori-Oppa, "We caught a big haul for tonight's supper!"
Then that got me to thinking…why would she call Tama-Hyung? ….
COULD MY BEST FRIEND HAVE A CRUSH!? TAMA-HYUNG'S GONNA HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME IF HE'S GONNA HAVE HARUHI-NOONA!
"Oh, I'm so proud of you two! Look at my little girls!"
"Papa! Look! I found some seashells for you! Aren't they pretty!?"
"I'm so proud of you! You have a good eye Mao!"
~/=/~
"Tell me, Haruhi, Mao," Tama-Hyung held up a crab, "Don't you find this large crab…crab-tivating?" He poses while Kyo-Hyung writes on his clipboard or whatever.
"Yeah!" Haruhi grins and I smile a bit but continue to look for some shellfish.
"So cute~!" He exclaims. All of a sudden, some centipede started crawling out…..
"CEN," "TI," "PEDE!" Everyone, the customers and the twins shouted, running away. I sweat dropped. Some were screaming in terror or laughing and smiling. Haruhi picked it up when she saw it and threw it over the rocks. "Okay…that's one way to get rid of a bug…" I said.
"Hey Haruhi, Mao!" I heard the twins say. "As much as it would pain me to think that you're a bug loving kindhearted girls…" said Hikaru. "Couldn't you have at least set that thing free more gently?" Said Kaoru.
"It's okay. It will take more than that to kill it." Said Haruhi. I nodded in agreement. "Yeah…to kill it you need a wooden sword or a frying pan." Yeah, when I find a bug in my kitchen or anywhere else, I must destroy it so everything must be clean!
"Haruhi-kun is so manly!" The customers all fangirled behind us. Oh crap.
"Hey boss! You know what would be great!?"
"If one of us found out what Haruhi and Mao were afraid of!"
Wait…when did Hikaru and Kaoru leave the scene with Tamaki?!
"Then let the games begin!" They said. It could be my imagination but I heard some beep sound effect…..I'm now regretting eating sugar on the plane.
~/=/~
"This place here…is said to be a paranormal spot, which not even the locals will come to very often." Hikaru said as we all walked inside this dark and spooky cave. Wow, I'm really shaking.
"It's a cave that only shows itself at low tide. Up to now, they say that a lot of people have drowned down here." Kaoru continues. I looked around the cave and saw some good seaweed. I know what I'm making with the crab tonight~!
"They say that their lingering resentment drabs passers-by into the dark!" Kaoru says in a scared voice.
"What's that over there!?" Hikaru pointed at some rock and behind it was some poorly made ghost. I felt sorry for the girls since they were almost about to wet themselves. Poor things.
A hand grabbed Haruhi's shoulder and she turned to the prop, not really fazed by anything. "Is this a test of courage or something?" She questioned to the boys
"Aren't you two afraid of ghosts?" Hikaru says. I shrugged and picked up some seaweed. "I don't know, I never really seen one.
Paranormal terror line of attack failed!
"Haru-chan! Mao-chan! Over here, Over here!" Honey-Oppa shouts. Behind Honey-Oppa was this huge truck that belonged to Kyo-Hyungs family. I wouldn't be surprised if it had his face on it or something.
"Is this thing even allowed to be on the beach?" Asked Haruhi. Somehow, we end up on either sides of Honey-Oppa on the truck.
"Okay, private police people!" Honey-Oppa says and then bows, "If you please!"
The police guys saluted and then the door shuts.
It was dark and I could barely see my hands. Honey-Oppa started to freak out. I felt bad for him.
"It's dark, and confined, and scary!" He shouts. I think I was hit by one of his arms in my stomach.
"GAH! Honey-Oppa-!" I said, kneeling down in pain.
"I'm sorry Mao-chan! I can't see! It's dark and scary!"
Closed, dark space terror line of attack failed!
"Mori-senpai. This is a harpoon, right?" What a play with words. I haven't seen something that sharp since my job at Princess Heart.
Sharp object terror line of attack failed!
"Something's up. I never saw the guys act so strangely in my life." I said, fixing my hair a bit as I was with Haruhi, who was picking out the last of the shellfish. "They're always weird. Leave them be." She said. I picked some seaweed as she picked up another shellfish. "And another side dish~!" Wow, she really loves shellfish.
"Haruhi-kun! Mao-kun!" Nana and some of Haruhi's guests shout. My eyes widen and I hope the worst doesn't happen. "It's dangerous up there!" Haruhi shouted. "Be careful girls!" I yelled at them. I looked at the sunset and smiled. I thought for once, something was so peaceful. I thought wrong as I heard the girls screaming and see some locals annoying the hell out of the girls. I grit my teeth and started running up there to help them.
If anything happened to them….
"There are multiple bruises around her body. It's a good thing you came in time before something worse happened."
Haruhi throws some shellfish at the guy while I start cracking my knuckles.
"Would you go away now? They don't want you. They say you're bothering them" Haruhi said so coolly. "Get your filthy hands of them you idiots. Can't you tell when a girl doesn't want you here? Get lost." I said.
"Haruhi-kun…Mao-kun…" Haruhi's regular said. I gritted my teeth more and turned my head to her. "Get help! GO!" I asked her. She nods quickly and runs off while I looked back at the girls with the other local. How dare they touch girls like that? You're a boy. You are to respect girls and treat them right!
"SUPERMAN PUNCH!" I said, aiming at that guys face and I smirked as it hit directly, him letting go of the girls. They started running away as Haruhi dealt with the other local, but then Haruhi was then thrown into the ocean by the guy with the short ponytail. My eyes widened and falcon kicked the bastard in the face. The guy that I punched started to get up but I kicked him in the face and jumped after Haruhi.
"HARUHI-NOONA!"
I didn't know Tama-Hyung was right behind me.
Haruhi-Noona's eyes were closed and that sinking feeling in me started acting up and swam as fast as I could to her. I grabbed her hand and swam up shore but there was Tama-Hyung. I handed Noona to him and the two of us started swimming to the surface and shore.
I was the first to get to the shore, walking slowly because I blamed myself that I didn't take care of the guys well. I acted on my own record and endangered Haruhi-Noona's life.
"Haru-chan! Mao-Chan!" I heard Honey-Oppa shout ahead of me. "Sir!" The twins shout. I clenched my fists as I thought of those bastards for disturbing the peace. I could have lost my Noona because of them and that stupid alcohol.
"Where are they?" Asked Tama-Hyung.
"We've kept their ID cards, and respectfully asked them to leave." Kyo-Hyung said. That wasn't enough for me. They should have done much worse, they should have been punished. "The girls went back to the hotel. I've called a doctor, who should be here shortly." Kyo-Hyung continued.
"I'm alright. I don't need a doctor." Haruhi asked. I really didn't say anything. There was nothing wrong with me and I felt fine. I may not be a martial arts person but I knew how to protect myself. I stared blankly at the scene before me.
"Are you two one of those? Actually a martial arts master, like Honey-senpai?" Tama-Hyung says, looking at us seriously.
"How could you both think that you two, girls only you two, could do anything against those boys!?"
"It had nothing to do with being a boy or a girl. We were there and didn't have time to think about doing something else." Haruhi protested.
"She's right. Besides, my dad was a wrestler and I knew how to defend myself." I protested.
"Well think about it you idiots! You two are girls! And just because your dad is a wrestler doesn't mean you are one! What would your dad think!?" Tama-Hyung shouted at us. I glared at him because he doesn't know my dad. Neither of them do. "Listen here, I had it handled! My dad taught me well. Besides, my Noona's were in trouble. I wasn't going to let something like that happen again!" Tama-Hyung scoffed and I clenched my fists again.
"I will apologize for making you and Mao come after me, but I can't understand any other reason why you'd be mad at us." Haruhi glared. "And don't insult her dad, he taught her well and it wasn't her fault that she wanted to protect me and the girls! We haven't done anything wrong!"
"You haven't, huh? Then you two go right ahead. I'm not speaking to you two again until you admit you are wrong!" Tama-Hyung shouts, walking away from us, leaving us two and the rest of the host club.
"FINE! GO AHEAD! BE ANGRY WITH ME! FINE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Fine!" He screamed back at me. That stupid Tama-Hyung! He's basically insulting Masato's, my adopted dad, honor. Call him weak! He was far from that! He was the strongest man I knew and taught me well!
~/+/~
I looked into my pack and saw my mom and Mika repacked the whole thing. Instead of shirts that I stole from Masato, I saw some tube tops and shorts to go along with them. There were also some wedges that went along with it. It was kind of cute but I'm a boy now and head of the family. Masato's gone and I have to act accordingly.
I should have checked my bag before leaving. Something like this shouldn't have happened. Especially the whole thing that happened today.
~/=/~
"Woah!" I heard Honey-Oppa shout as the twins and Honey-Oppa examine us. "Haruhi. Mao. Did you buy the outfits yourselves?"
"My dad. He must have repacked my bags for me. He always wants me to wear stuff like this." Haruhi said.
"My mom and sister. Same as Haruhi, they want me to start wearing stuff like this again. This is actually Mika's since I never really bother to buy girly clothes." I sigh.
"Good job, Haruhi's dad! Good job, Mao's family!" The twins grin while I looked at the table already ready with the food cooked and stuff.
"WHAT?! YOU GUYS DIDN'T BOTHER TO CALL ME TO COOK!? I could have made crab cakes or something!" I said, tsking them.
Wow….you could actually feel the awkward and I'm talking serious awkward because Haruhi and Tama-Hyung were sitting next to each other and there's the other thing. I was sitting next to Tama-Hyung on his left.
"Let's eat, Haru-chan! Mao-chan! I'm sure the crabs we caught today are delicious." Honey-Oppa said to us as we were in our "Not going to talk to Tama-Hyung" mode. "Thanks Honey-Oppa." I said, smiling a bit awkwardly because I really wasn't used to a quiet Tama-Hyung or a quiet Host Club.
Haruhi immediately starts eating like she's never eaten before. I ate slowly because I didn't do well with crab if I ate too fast. Wow, look at Haruhi go! That's amazing!
"This crabs taste…..incrabable. Get it?" Haruhi said. "Yeah. They are. They're crabmazing." I said, starting my second one.
"Don't you two think that's enough? You're eating a lot!" Tama-Hyung said.
"I'm sorry, I thought you weren't speaking to us." Haruhi said.
"Y-you're not being cute you two." He said. Haruhi shot him a look while I nodded my head. He quickly stands up, banging his hand on the napkin. Poor thing.
"Okay, I get it. You're not going to reconsider what you two done. Fine, then. I'm going to bed. Kyoya, if you'll show me to my room!"
Kyo-Hyung then stands up and shows Tama-Hyung to his room. Go ahead! See if I care! I'm not going to care because you insulted Masato!
To make people happy is what you want to do right? Do so my little Mao!
"…Dad wouldn't have approved me doing something so reckless…." I muttered quietly, flinging the crab leg back to my plate.
"Maybe I really should learn some karate or something." I heard Haruhi mutter.
"Ah. Then it is bothering you two." The twins say, looking at the two of us back and forth.
"Honestly, I wish you two reconsider how rashly you acted today, too." Hikaru said, looking at us. "Why? Hikaru, we didn't make trouble for you guys, did we?" Haruhi asked and the two carrot tops shrugged.
"That's not true, Haru-chan, Mao-chan. You should tell everyone you're sorry, okay?" Our heads turned to Honey-Oppa who smiled at us. "You two should tell sorry to Tama-chan especially for worrying him so much, too."
"Worried?" I muttered. Not many worry about the Bipolar Tiger and this came to a surprise because they all nodded. I looked down shamefully but there was this feeling inside me that just tickled. They were all worried about the Bipolar Tiger. "I see…" This is going to be so hard to admit but…"I'm sorry for acting the way I did. Haruhi-Noona was in trouble so I…" Haruhi was a little slow but then apologized and then were hugged by everyone, excluding Mori-Oppa. "Aw! You two are so cute! We forgive you!" Hikaru said and Kaoru finished.
Just when things were about to get lovey dovey, Haruhi's stomach rumbles. "Ah…I don't feel so good." She said. I facepalmed. The seafood was getting its revenge.
"Come on, over to the washroom! The washroom! Mao, stay here with the food!" Kaoru asked me. I felt my heart beat fast and I attempted to follow them but the doors closed on me. When I got them open again, everyone was gone.
"…Um…guys?" I said softly, taking a few steps. Before I knew it, I got lost and I was alone…."Guys?" I asked again, my voice shaking.
~/=/~
"Tama-Hyung!" I yelled when I spotted him in front of me. I ran up to him like my life depended on it but I ended up tripping because I can't run on heels.
"Ah! Mao!? Are you alright!?" He asked me, running to my side. He helped me up and noticed my red eyes. "Have you been crying?" Tama-Hyung asked me. I pouted and regained my confidence now that I had someone with me.
"N-no! I wasn't! A-anyways….I wanted to apologize to you! I shouldn't have made you worry!" I said, wiping my tears that were still tempting to come out of my eyes. I heard Tama-Hyung chuckle and then felt a hand rest on top of my head. "It's fine. At least now you get it, my little bipolar tiger~!" He said. The way he said it, it made my heart beat faster than normal. I know what I said was lame but that's the best how I could fauqing damn describing it! I pouted and looked up at him, the red blush still on my face.
"So why did you run at me? You're not scared of the dark are you?" He said jokingly. I glared at him and lightly punched him on his shoulder. "NO! I-i-it's complicated! I'm not comfortable on my own anywhere."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't believe I'm telling you this…" I muttered and sighed, "Since I could remember, I hated being on my own. I gotta be with someone else in a room or location."
"Mao-chan~~!"
"Mika-chan!" I hugged my sister tightly when I saw her enter the room. "Don't leave me alone! Please don't leave!" I screamed, tears running down my face.
"What are you talking about? I was just going to the bathroom." She said. I looked up and saw her smiling down at me. "Y-y-you weren't going to leave me?" I asked her.
"Why would I do that silly~?" She said, rubbing my back like Masato-san and Yuki-san would only they're on their romantic dinner today. "We should sleep. We have school tomorrow. 'K?"
"Wow…it really affected you huh?"
"Of course it did! Now, where are we?" I asked, looking at the door we were standing in front of.
"Kyoya's room, why?" He said. "I saw a flash of pink going into that room." I replied worriedly. Haruhi's a girl….and that's Kyo-Hyungs's room….He didn't come back so he must still be in there, so, Haruhi and Kyo-Hyung are in the same room together…..
No…they would not! Not while we're on a trip! Come on Mao, don't let the drama get to your head! This is real life! It's not like the heroine of the story has some interest with the supporting male cast! Ha! Right! …
"Kyoya?" Tama-Hyung questioned as he turned the knob. "Do you have any lotion? This sunburn is worse than I thought-" He stopped and I decided to take a peek inside and what I saw was just unbelievable!
Kyo-Hyung was just there standing casually with a towel around his neck, shirtless. And Haruhi-Noona was there, sitting on the bed. What's more, the lights were off.
I clenched my fists together, but I had to keep strong. I didn't want to cause a scene, not even when I had this pain like a thousand needles stabbing me. The bipolar inside me snapped and started running away, retracing my steps if I have to. I wanted to get out of there and away from people that way I wouldn't snap at them. It happened before and I didn't want it to repeat itself. I even hurt Mika-Noona because of it.
FLASHBACK
"Tohru-kun! I love you! Pl-please accept my feelings!" I looked down on the ground, not really up to looking at the guy that I had feelings for. He was a great kid who I fell for when we met at the club.
"I'm sorry Mao-chan, but I like Mika-chan better." He told me and walked off somewhere. I quickly ran out of the place and towards the classroom that I first was, smiling the best I could without crying of course.
~/=/~
"Come on Mika-chan, I know you want it as much as I do!"
"No! Leave me alone! Kyah! You sick pervert!" I just came home from an exhausting day at work and I heard my sister screaming for help. I opened the door to her room and I saw my sister almost being raped by the guy I liked. I quickly ripped him away from her and started punching him, the bipolar tiger awakening.
"Mao-chan! Stop! He's hurt enough already!"
"SHUT UP! HE'S SCUM! HE DARED TO TOUCH YOU LIKE THAT! SUCH IMPURE THOUGHTS! HE SHOULD DIE! DIE DIE! HOW DARE YOU!" I didn't even realize I was even hurting Mika until she fainted. I called Masato and Yuki and the police. I was scared….
I didn't even go to school because school wasn't the same without Mika…
FLASHBACK ENDS
No…Kyo-Hyung's not the same as that guy….He was much worse….but….the thought that he could have done that to Haruhi-Noona…..It makes me sick!
Come on Mao, admit it. You like this guy don't you? Well too bad, that's why we became the Bipolar Tiger. To protect those that might hurt your Noona. You don't want to make the same mistake right? Admit it. I can help with that…you just gotta turn back into a girl.
Yeah right! How can I like some first class idiot!? I don't belong in their world! And I'm not becoming a girl yet!
And yet you watch those Korean dramas where the poor girl swoons the rich guys and she becomes rich! That can happen to you!
That's a drama! It can't happen in real life!
You never know. Tee Hee~
"Mao?" Gah! Who else is going to call for me today?! Huh? I turned my face to look at Kyo-Hyung, with a shirt on. Thank goodness! I thought I would have to force him into one. "Y-yeah?" I asked, rubbing my face to clean up the tears. "What do you want?"
One minute he was in front of me and the next, when I opened my eyes, he was there kneeling down and looking at me in the eye.
"Why are your eyes red Mao?" He asks me. Crap, he must have seen me behind Tama-Hyung. Well, I did have a peek of before.
"Because I'm allergic to dust that's why! *Sniff* your housekeepers or something should clean the house more!" I exclaimed. He looks at me, not really buying what I said. He suddenly places his hand on my back side of my head, pushing me forward. My face was just on his chest. "You're so horrible at lying, you know that?" He said with a chuckle.
I was tempted to make myself taller and bite his shoulder but this…actually felt nice…It felt nice getting this kind of warmth from someone familiar….It felt like Masato-san's, Yuki-san's and Mika-Noona's hugs when I was crying back then.
See what did I tell you? You like this guy don't you?
Shut up. He's just a good Hyung. He saw me crying and he's comforting me, nothing more! Idiot!
You're the idiot! Pay attention to hottie over there!
You're wrong! Who's hot is Lee Min Ho and G-Dragon! End of discussion!
"You know because of you and Haruhi, we had to send bouquets of flowers. What am I going to do with you?" He mutters. Sigh. It's just like Kyo-Hyung to keep track of our debts. Stupid! Stupid!
"Well, I'm sorry! Okay?! I didn't mean to make you or everyone else worry! And let go! I can't breathe!" I said, some tears escaping my eyes. He chuckles again and I just get an uneasy feeling on my back. "Stop crying. You're going to ruin your top." He plainly said.
"It's not mine Damnit! I don't shop for girls clothing! These are Mika-Noona's!" I stuck my tongue out at him and he started chuckling more. "No matter, you look beautiful though." He smirks slyly just like a fox. I stare at him at shock and then my face suddenly heats up.
"WHAT!?" I yelled and he just smiles. Why that rich bastard! I should give him a taste of a little Bipolar Tiger. I stand up quickly but was pulled down again. "Where are you going?" He asked me.
"Back to Tama-Hyung and Haruhi-Noona! That's where! Who knows what's going on over there!" I said quickly. Kyo-Hyung looked at me seriously and I just covered my mouth quickly, feeling his arms wrap around me again. He must enjoy embarrassing me or something…..
Don't tell him this but…..what a sadist!
"Don't go…I actually enjoy this…" What the hell?! He can't be serious.
He's Kyoya Ootori….of course he's serious…
Shut up conscience! No one asked you!
"Hey! Can you let me go now!? I gotta go sleep you know!"
~/+/~
"Be careful Haruhi!" Hikaru says ready to head back home after we returned from Okinawa. It wasn't the best of my trips to somewhere else, but it wasn't the worst either.
"His highness apparently has a thing for S&M, too." Kaoru said. Honey-Oppa told me all about it this morning and I looked at Tama-Hyung disapprovingly. There was some murder in my eyes because Tama-Hyung really is a pervert.
"Geez, what a pervert. To think, I actually was thinking about calling you my Oppa." I said, glaring at him. According to reports from the carrot tops, I had an angry vein popping out of my cheek.
"I told you, it wasn't like that!" Tama-Hyung exclaimed in anger. Haruhi murmurs about knowing what S&M was and closed the window. I sat next to her in the car and gave Tama-Hyung one more glare.
"Next time you touch my Noona, I will beat you into a coma and beat you again when you wake up." I said and hugged Haruhi protectively. "Don't worry Haruhi. I'll keep you away from the nasty pervert."
"How many times do I have to say it!? I didn't do anything to her!" Tama-Hyung yelled at me and I stuck my tongue out at him. "Five hundred, twenty five thousand six hundred times! Starting…NOW!" I said and we sped off, purposely leaving him behind.
While we were doing that, I have a smile creep on my face.
"This is a trip I'll never forget…"
