Authors Note.Hi guys... I'm back from a long hiatus and I apologize for just kinda... Abandoning the story. I've been going through some things and just started back on the internet. Hope you like this chapter though :)
"Say-Chan! You've been back for a whole week and you haven't even had a piece of cake with me yet!" Hunny bounced up and down beside me, impressively holding two pieces of cake. The kid has skill.
"I'm sorry Senpai. Classwork, our Clubs President, Vice President and Haruhi have been keeping me busy. I'd be more than happy to have some cake time with you now though!" I cheerfully smiled down at him. He gleemed back and passed a plate to me.
"It's been a while since anyone in the clubs had cake with me. They all say they're too busy.." The tiny teenager pouted while shoving cake in his mouth.
"Start stealing their pens and tell them you aren't giving them back until you get attention. That's what I do to Kyoya and Haruhi." I smirked. "Works like a charm."
"I think I'll try to have cake with Haru-Chan next!"
We were basically walking in circles around the host room waiting for the others. I still had to get in costume. Police officers Seriously... First, I get conned into the club. Now costumes... What is this? An anime?
"Hey Say-Chan! Can you help me button this top button. I can't get it through the hole!" Hunny asked me fidgeting with his collar. How did he change so quickly? When did he even change? Whatever.
"Sure." I said squatting down and pushing the button through with ease. "See, all done." I stood up and ruffled his hair. "I'm gonna go get in mine. I'll be out in a bit." Walking away, I heard Hunny yell out something about more cake time later. He seriously had a sugar problem.
This was what I had to wear? This? I rolled my eyes at the body suit and hat. It was so goofy looking. Who even picks these outfits out? I slipped it on quickly and a knock on the door made me realize just how behind I was running. How do guys get changed so fast? I still have to do my makeup and hair.
"Sayuri. 5 more minutes and we have to be ready for guests." Hikaru and Kaoru called. I looked in the mirror quickly and ruffled my hair. It looked okay with the hat on. Now, just for the make up.
"Gotcha." I responded and started on my mascara..
Kyoya P.O.V
I finished closing my belt and done a run through in the mirror before walking out. 5 more minutes? Did it really take me that long today?
"Kyo-Chan! Can I see some of your pens and pencils? I want to check something on them." I furrowed my eyebrows when Hunny asked me that.
"Oh, of course. I only have a few on me right now though." I obliged and handed him the couple I had. He turned around, shoved them in his pocket, and started walking away.
"You can have them back when you have cake with me." Hunny shouted.
Sayuri P.O.V
Finally, I'm finished. Only took 3 minutes. I walked out the dressing room to find Kyoya staring into space with a blank expression.
"Kyo? You okay?" He turned slowly towards me and squinted his eyes, practically glaring.
"You told Hunny to steal my pencils in order to get attention didn't you?"
My eyes widened and I knew my face was red. Hunny acted quickly.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Kyo-Chan." Stepping quickly away I noticed the club door being opened. I rushed to my spot, which was thankfully beside Tamaki and not Kyoya.
"Welcome!" We all said in unison. As the rose petals pertruted out of the room and our guest stepped in, I noticed it was a little girl. Where there more people like Hunny?
"Oh my, what an unusually young guest!" Tamaki exclaimed in shock. "Well, glad you're here... my little lost kitty cat." Everyone quickly gathered around to see the little girl closer. "Little Kitty Cat, why have you come to see us today?" He asked and continued on.
The little girl suddenly pointed and shouted. "It's a reverse harem! This is a reverse harem!"
How did this 5 year old even know what that was? I must be hearing things. I looked around to see the other hosts in shock as well.
"That can't be right." Tamaki stepped closer. "I must have heard wrong." He scratched the back of his head and started cleaning his ears. Wait, where did those ear swabs come from? "Maybe there's still some water in my ear from when I went swimming."
The twins stepped forward and nodded their heads, agreeing with Tamaki.
"Water in the ear, that's gotta be it." Hikaru stated.
"I'm sure we just heard her wrong.
There's no way this cute little girl said the words, reverse harem.
"Something's going on with our ears." Kaoru added on with an innocent smile.
"There is debauchery here. Yay!" The kid started giggling. "There's debauchery here, isn't there?" She started pointing at each of us. "You're the glasses character." Kyoya. "You are the boy lolita and the stoic type." Mori. Hunny.
"Twincest." Quit it.
"The bookworm." Haruhi. "And the princess!" Me. "Big brother?" Tama- wait. Big brother? "My brother's blond! You must be him." The little girl jumped into his arms.
"You never told us about this." Hikaru said, fake offended.
"Since when did you have a little sister?" His twin teased.
"I don't! I'm definitely an only child... at least as far as I know." Tamaki spat out going ninety to nothing while holding the girl.
"The more I look at you, the two of you do look a lot alike. You are both blond after all." Hunny added in.
"I want to know if glasses character's superior to big brother." Kyoya questioned while his glasses were glared. Why are you so competitive?
"But does it really matter? I can't believe she called me "bookworm"." Haruhi was noticeably upset.
"Hey, I got to be princess. Peasents." I joked, earning me a fake bow from the twins.
"Excuse me, you want to tell me your name, little one?" Tamaki finally asked with the girl still attached to him.
"Kirimi!" She squeaked. Like the food?
"Kirimi?" Haruhi asked. Clearly I wasn't the only one questioning it.
Tamaki set Kirimi down and went down with her as well.
"Kirimi-chan, I'm afraid you've made a mistake. I'm really sorry, but I don't have a younger sister." He explained.
"Are you sure?! You're blond just like me!" Kirimi's eyes started watering. It was actually really sad to watch.
"Oh, that's true." Tamakis face turned red. He was a sucker for tears. He immediately picked her back up and started swinging her around. "I give in! As of this moment, I'm your new big brother!!
You're so cute!" He exclaimed.
"I know you get carried away by emotion. But don't you think it's irresponsible to make such empty promises?" The voice of reason, also known as Haruhi, asked.
"Don't you listen to that mean Haruhi!" Tamaki continued spinning her. "I'm not irresponsible! Come on with me! I'll look after you!" -That's exactly something an irresponsible person would say.- "And Sayuri here can be your best friend!" Tamaki pointed to me.
"Is she YOUR princess big brother?" Kirimi asked.
"She sure is Kirimi-Chan!"
"Yay! A big brother and his girlfriend!" She squealed and held onto Tamaki. -Im sorry?-
"Actually Kirimi, I'm not his-"
"Don't ruin it for her. Look how happy." Hikaru interuputed me.
Kyoya P.O.V
"What do you think we should do, Kyoya senpai?" Haruhi asked me as I observed the scene unfoding in front of me.
"We should probably try to find out if she actually has a brother at this school."
The door started creaking open and Kirimi's name started echoing through the room. A tall, blonde haired students head popped in aburuptly.
"Hey, uh, who the hell are you?" The twins moved closer to him.
"He looks like a foreigner!" Hunny exclaimed.
"What's up with that? How come the door looks different all of a sudden?" I observed closer and noticed the door had a darker tint like Haruhi mentioned.
"Demons." I heard Sayuri casually comment on the side. I couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Oh, Kirimi." The boy started again.
"Master." Nekozawa's butler walked towards him. -Wait-
Sayuri P.O.V
"You forgot your cloak." Nekozawa's maid walked after his butler and draped a cloak over the guy. What?
"Nekozawa senpai?!" We all said together and in shock after he was spun around.
"Master Umehito is terribly vulnerable to any kind of bright light." The maid explained. "For that reason, if he doesn't shroud himself in black, he will fall victim to the brightness of the outside world and will undoubtedly collapse!" She continued over dramatically. "And just to be comfortable, he even has to cover his beautiful blond hair with a dark wig."
"Sounds like a bit of an edge lord to me." I commented and rolled my eyes.
"On the other hand, his sister, Mistress Kirimi, is frightened of dark and dimly lit places." The butler wiped non existent tears away.
"So, this little girl is Nekozawa senpai's younger sister?" Haruhi asked.
"You are quite insightful. Yes, that would be correct, sir."
"Kirimi... so this is where you've been hiding..." Nekozawa creeped closer to Kirimi. Her eyes started to fill with tears.
"Brother, save me from the monster!" Kirimi screamed jumping back into Tamakis arms.
"Please don't be scared." Nekozawa moved closer to Tamaki and Kirimi.
"I'd like to introduce you to someone. This is "Belzenef"." He started playing with his cat puppet. "The Nekozawa family has worshipped cats for generations."
"You know, I get the feeling she's not scared of the puppet. Call me crazy, but I think it's you." Haruhi said bluntly while scratching the back of her head.
"Yeah, no offense but I'd run away from you too." I added while taking my hat off to put my hair into a ponytail.
"It's probably your clothes. We'll help you change, okay?" Hikaru and Kaoru pounced on him, attempting to rip his clothes off. Nekozawa started whining and put up a hard fight.
"I know. We'll just darken the room!" Hunny beamed, running to clothes the curtains.
"That might actually work." I whispered to Haruhi to which she nodded back. Kirimi on the other hand, disagreed completely. She started crying about how scary it would be While Tamaki consoled her.
"Either way, someone's unhappy." Kyoya piped in
"It's a tragedy that these two siblings are such polar opposites.
As a result, they have come to be known as "the Nekozawa family's Romeo and Juliet"." The maid started explaining.
"But Romeo and Juliet weren't brother and sister. I think their situation was a little different." Haruhi noted.
"Yeah, a lot different actually. It's not even similar." I said, very offended she would compare Shakspeare to this.
"Oh I'm well aware of that.
To be honest, it's something I just came up with on the fly. Pretty impressive, huh? I thought it might make the story more dramatic." She giggled.
"Oh, I see." Haruhi said unamused.
"We are sent by the Master's family to get our beloved Mistress Kirimi back home safely." The butler looked directly at Kirimi.
"Is the rest of the family..." Hikaru started.
"as out of touch as the three of you are?" Kaoru finished.
"How dare you say such terrible things? The Nekozawas are a distinguished family. They're descendants of the Tokarev dynasty of Russia!" The maid said overdramtically. She really could give Tamaki a run for his money.
"Tokarev, huh?" Kyoya wrote something down in his notebook.
"Wait, you mean Romanov, right?" Tamaki asked.
"There's a legend that says once every few hundred years, a Nekozawa child is born, a child who's destined to be possessed by the darkness exactly like our Master Umehito." And here we go again. "That legend may or may not be true."
"What do you mean, may or may not be true?" Hunny asked, clearly not following.
"Is it or isn't it?" The twins pondered.
"You aren't the best story teller." I folded my arms and walked over to Kyoya.
"You're grumpy today, aren't you?" He raised his eyebrows as I leaned on him.
"Im just not fond of them."
"Mistress Kirimi fell in love with the handsome fairy-tale prince of an older brother she had seen in portraits. However, as a result of his condition, the Master is unable to go near his sister without being shrouded in black. Once she learned her older brother was enrolled in high school here, she decided to go looking for him.
That's what brought her to your host club." The maid explained to which almost everyone looked like they were interested. Minus Haruhi, Kyoya and Mori. "We've tried to keep her comforted by reading her bedtime stories about princely characters like her brother, but we ran out of stories..." She continued.
"So recently, we decided to start reading her shojo manga that have princely characters in them.
And I'm afraid she's become completely addicted."
"Shojo manga?" Haruhi and I said in unison.
I thought back to some of the first things Kirimi said to us and it all started to make more since.
"I see, so that's where that came from." The twins said together.
"Is there really debauchery in shojo manga? But, Kirimi-chan is so young." Haruhi thought aloud.
"Yeah. Not exactly the best babysitters." I agreed.
"Wait Kirimi-chan doesn't know that you're her real older brother, Nekozawa senpai?" Haruhi asked finally getting with the bigger picture.
"Yes. We've talked her, but she refuses to believe us." Nekozawa moped.
"That's so sad. Well, no wonder Neko-chan is so upset." Hunny said trying to help out. As much as I hate it, I guess it must feel terrible know his end.
"It's painful.
That's why, every night, I offer prayers and hopes that one day Kimiri will come to embrace... the darkness." Nekozawa whispered. And you ruined me feeling sorry for you...
Kyoya P.O.V
"I think you've got it backwards, buddy." The twins started.
I rolled my eyes and faced Sayuri.
"So, how has your day been?" I asked pushing my glasses up.
"Okay I guess. I'm just insanely ready for a nap." She responded. Her eyes twinkled when she looked up at me and I felt something flip in my stomach. Interesting.
"I see. So I can assume you aren't up for donuts after school?"
"Hmm.. Make it take out with movies at your house and I'm sold." She gleamed.
"Of course. I'll even get out the soft blanket you love so much." I put an arm around her shoulder and pulled her into a side hug.
"How are you so perfect?" Sayuri commented and grabbed ahold of my waist holding me tighter.
"It just comes naturally."
"I'm riding with you home though. Dad asks so many questions when i come home and leave again. Especially to go somewhere with you."
"I wonder why." I said sarcastically. "It couldn't be you going out for hours with a teenage boy."
"Shut up!" She playfully hit me and laughed.
"Don't worry about me, Suoh .
All I want is for my sister to be happy. Make sure she gets the love she deserves!" I focused back on the bigger topic at hand and watched as Nekozawa started to sprint away.
"But wait a minute, senpai!" Tamaki yelled after him.
"Sibling relations are a source of problems in any family" I stated from experience.
"Even so, I'm kinda jealous.
I grew up an only child, so I can't really relate." Haruhi jumped in. I wish I was an only child. "But I can't imagine how tough it must be to have a sibling that's so different from you that you can't even spend time together."
"Yeah.. I feel bad for the guy I guess. The closest I've ever had to a sibling was Tamaki, so I can't really relate either." Sayuri added.
"Is something wrong? Tell me, big brother?" Kirimi bugged Tamaki for answers. Rightfully so.
"I'm sorry, Kirimi-chan. But I'm not the big brother that you've been looking for." He explained. I could tell he wanted to fix things by his tone of voice. "Don't worry. He is still out there. Believe it or not, you have a big brother that's even more handsome than I am. And I promise you, he's a real prince."
"Just like your girlfriends a real princess?" Kirimi wiped away tears looking to Sayuri who broke from me and walked towards her and Tamaki.
"Yeah, just like that." Tamaki smiled.
"I promise Kirimi. Things are going to get better." Sayuri said bending down and picking her up. She can say what she wants, but I'm well aware she has a huge soft spot for children.
"But..." Haruhi tried interrupting.
"Once she stepped foot into this room, Kirimi-chan became a guest of the host club. And it's our job to make all our guests happy." Tamaki started and I already knew where it was going. "It's an absolute tragedy to see a brother and sister at odds this way. We have to do something to help them! Starting now, "Operation, change Nekozawa senpai into the princely character of Kirimi-chan's dreams" is underway!" He finally finished leaving everyone else a bit stunned.
"Are you serious?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked mono toned.
Sayuri P.O.V
Even though I don't really like any of the others, Kirimi really did deserve to have the big brother she's been searching for. She's innocent and has no idea they're all idiots.
"But, sir..." The butler started.
"You want to change Umehito from a prince of darkness to a prince of light. I don't know if that's even possible." While the maid finished up I went to Kyoya once more before I caught the stupid.
"Hello dear." He greeted me in his hostly voice. I rolled my eyes but couldn't help smiling.
"What's cookin' good lookin'?" I joked around with him and he smirked.
"Dealing with club things right now, looking forward to my hot date after school though." Kyoya said in a lower tone. Obviously not for everyone to hear.
"Hot date? With who? Surely not me. You have to at least buy me flowers first." I teased. Suddenly the room started shaking and the worst evil laugh came from nowhere. Kyoyas face turned into a hostly one.
"You may be meeting Renge soon." Was all he said as he walked to the door.
