Me: Hey guys! Sorry for the space between my posts cause this is a longer chapter so I had to work on it more. I was also trying a new way of writing the chapters-
Hikaru: Hey what's with the new scholarship students?
Kaoru: Yeah they seem so stiff
Haruhi: Will you just leave them alone? Honestly, it's bad enough you did your brotherly love act on them. . .
Hikaru: Oh ho, is this jealousy I hear?
Kaoru: If you just wanted a private act then we'll come over to your house later this we-
Tamaki: There's no way Daddy's little girl will let you shady twins into her house this week! Daddy won't allow it!
Me: HEY YOU GUYS GET OUT! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! WHERE ARE ZACH, COAL, AND THEO?!
Tamaki: *emo corner growing mushrooms*
Twins: * teasing Tamaki about Haruhi *
Haruhi: Ugh, I'll do it. PonyGrim or the Insane One don't own Ouran Highschool Host Club or any music that may be featured in this story, only the Shinpitekina "family" and friends.
Me: Thank you Haruhi, now . .. ONTO THE CHAPTER!
Coal's POV:
He sighed, they had finally been able to get away from the twins after a herd of fangirls came charging at them. "They are truly a blessing and a curse in this school," he gave the thought a small smile. Then quickly sweatdropped as he was reminded of the sibling argument going on behind him about being late to class, "It's to early in the morning for something like this . . ." He spun around to his brothers, "Would you two kindly SHUT THE HELL UP?!" he shouted at them, "If this is how we're starting this mission then this will be a long year for all of us." Theo and Zach clung to each other and shrank away whimpering. "Let's just walk to class in silence then, hmm?" Coal continued. Theo and Zach nodded quickly and followed him, only 30 seconds after they had continued walking Coal heard some loud whispers behind her. He sighed, "What in bloody Hell did I do to deserve this?"
Haruhi's POV:
She looked around confused, "Where did that other scholarship student go?" She had been so wrapped up in her thoughts on the possible quiz that was coming up in English that she didn't notice the disappearance of her fellow student, "Huh . . ."
Suddenly she felt two pairs of arms wrap around her, "So Haruhi did you miss walking with us to class so much you would risk your perfect attendance?" Hikaru asked moving his face closer to hers.'
"Hikaru please let my face go," Haruhi deadpanned making the twins unwrap themselves. They were now leaning on each other sobbing on how mean she was. "I was looking for the new scholarship student, he was just here a moment ago."
"Funny you should say that-" Hikaru suddenly popped up on her right arm again.
"-Because we were just escorting two new scholarship students to class a moment ago," Kaoru finished.
"Though, it seems as if they've given us the slip after a group of fangirls mobbed us." Hikaru said thoughtfully.
"Oh well!" The twins cheered in unison, "Now we'll have more time together with out toy!"
~Timeskip (in class)~
"So . . ."Hikaru began.
"What did the other scholar ship student look like?" Kaoru asked.
"Well . . ." Haruhi thought back, "He said his name was Zach Shinpitekina. He was wearing really worn down jeans, black converses, a black T-shirt, long sleeve open white button-up shirt over that, and a black and white plain baseball cap covering up his hair and the right side of his face,"
The twins froze, "What?"
"Oh yeah, and he had a plain silver ring on his right hand and a green pair of glasses," Haruhi finished, she looked up to the confused looks on her classmates' faces. "What is it?"
"Haruhi that's impossible-" Hikaru started.
"-there were two of them and they were walking with us until the fangirls mobbed us!" Kaoru stated.
Question marks appeared above all of them, "Huh?"
Before their conversation could continue the teacher walked in, "Students we'll be having three new students joining us today." Three identical boys walked into class at that moment and looked over the class slowly, pausing when they came to Haruhi and the twins. "Please introduce yourselves to the class."
The first one stepped forward, "Hello I'm Zach Shinpitekina," he stepped back in line.
"I'm Coal Shinpitekina," The second one copied Zach's movements and quickly stepped back in line.
"And I'm Theo Shinpitekina," The last one intorduced him self.
"We are the Shinpitekina triplets." They finished at the same time.
The classroom was loud with the buzz of whispers. Haruhi caught onto a few of them being passed around.
"What horrid clothes!"
"How rebellious and mysterious looking!"
"Look more competition for the girls around here, as if the host club wasn't enough!"
"Do you think they'll be joining the host club?"
"They feel so exotic!"
"I wonder if they're any good with a soccer ball?"
"I doubt it! They probably don't want to hurt their pretty faces!"
After the buzz died down the teacher annouced they could now ask questions.
A bunch of hands shot up, the first being a blonde girl with her hair in a bun with brown eyes and way too much make-up on, "What's with the barbaric clothes? What are you posers?" she asked in a snotty tone.
Immediately the triplets looked at her calculating then glanced over to each other in a blink of an eye, Theo stepped up. "We're scholarship students which means that the school is paying for us to attend. Because of this most of you could probably tell that we're 'commoners' therefore we don't have enough money to the the school uniforms or eat at your cafeteria." he shot back in a cold no-nonsense-I'm-not-going-to-deal-with-you-idiots tone . The blonde girl narrowed her eyes at the triplets clearly not pleased with the way they had answered and set to whispering rapidly to the girl next to her.
"Next question?"
Next was a boy with hazel brown hair in a buzz cut, "Are you guys into any sports?"
This time Coal answered, "We've moved around a lot so we've been to a lot of places around the world and learned the country's sports. Though we seem to be mostly skilled in soccer and tennis as far as school sports go." he answered in a I-don't-really-care-rebel tone. There was a quiet murmur going around the boys on wither to invite them to join any sport teams.
"Next?"
The next one was a girl with dark brown hair with ribbons in it and soft green eyes who looked like she was going to burst if she wasn't called on. "Are you going to join the host club? Why do you hide your hair and eyes like that? Where were you born? Are you guys straight? Is there any brotherly love between any of you? Are any of you jealous because of some brotherly love between only two of you? Do you have girlfriends or boyfriends?"
There was a pregnant pause before all of Hell broke loose. In all the chaos Haruhi looked closer to the girl to recognize her to be a frequent regular of the twins' brotherly love act. She sighed, "Well that explains all the questions on being gay." She felt a tap on her left shoulder and looked over to see Kaoru point to the triplets at the front of the class. They were standing in the exact same positions as before completely unfazed by the outbreak or the girl's rude questions.
After the teacher finally got the class under control Zach stepped forward. "We have no idea what the host club is, we were born in Japan but our family's work requires us to travel a lot, we don't find gender important if it's really true love, as far as I know none of us harbor feelings for each other, and we're all single." Haruhi blinked dumbfounded. A flurry of whispers erupted again and Haurhi saw the triplets talk to the teacher. The teacher nodded and pointed over in her direction. The triplets nodded and bowed before walking to three empty seats behind her and the twins, while the teacher tried to regain control of the class again.
Zach's POV:
He looked around the classroom, they already knew this material. Even so he was writing notes down as he looked around class meetings the stares of other students. Some of them were glaring, while others looked in admiration, while others just plain stared like he was a piece of meat. He recieved a poke from Coal's pencil and looked down to see a note. He unfolded it to find it reminding him to stay in character and keep on acting like a normal student. He sighed and went back to the lesson, soon there was another poke. (At the moment they took off their glasses and had their heads bent down so people can't see their eyes . . .)
"Psst,"
He ignored it and popped a sugar cube into his mouth then opened his sketchbook and started to doodle.
"Psst,"
"Psst!"
"Psst, hey Zach!"
"Zach!"
"Zach!"
It was the twins, he did his best to ignore them considering that eventually they would get bored and leave them alone. True to his predictions they stopped poking him and moved onto Coal. Only this time Coal gave them a look of death and they shrank back whispering on how scary he was.
Then they started poking Theo who was biting down harder and harder on his candy . . . "Uh oh, this won't end well." Zach thought. He flinched when Theo tore his eyes off his papers slowly like an old machine.
"Yes?" Theo hissed, "May I help you?"
"Why did you tell us that you were twin when you're a triplet?" Hikaru asked.
"I never said I was a twin, in fact I'm pretty sure Coal said that we weren't twins when we first met."
There was a pause until Kaoru started poking Coal again, "Hey Zach?"
Coal's head snapped up, "One, I'm not Zach. Two, what's so important that you have to interrupt class?"
"Hey since we're have identical siblings I bet we can guess which one of you is which."
"Kaoru please, we just met a few hours ago and I'm trying to keep my scholarship so stop distracting me and my brothers." Zach smirked at Kaoru's stunned look on his face and went back to sketching. Kaoru tried to say something but ended up sputtering and the rest of the class was in silence.
Though fate was not on the triplets' side that day or the rest of the school year, they shared every class with Haruhi and the twins meaning that the poking and questions continued until lunch. When the lunch bell rang and class was finally dismissed Zach and his brothers quickly used the cover of talk of their arrival to the school to sneak out of the room.
"Finally!" Theo exclaimed as he stretched, "I'm not sure how long I could've held up with those twins poking at us like that."
Coal nodded in agreement, "They're going to be troublesome, and something tells me that they'll be the nosy kind too."
"Well then we'll just have to use our incredible skill of dodging questions for the entire yea-"
Zach's comment was cut off as he noticed Coal's tense position. Quickly he caught the scent and his eyes darted around the courtyard, "Where were they hiding?"
Zach's gaze shifted as Theo made a quick little motion to the fountain, there the blonde with too much make up and the friend she was whispering to earlier were standing, waiting. There was the strong scent of roses in the air and Coal made a motion to walk as normal. They didn't get far until something jumped on his back. It was small, strong, giggly, and smelled like strawberries and vanilla frosting.
Kyoya's POV:
He sighed, the silence from the laptop incident stretched on until they got to the entrance to their classroom where Tamaki immediately burst with compliments and pick-up lines. It was lunch now and he had excused himself to finish the club's fiances and setting up his new laptop, knowing Tamaki he was looming over Haruhi or giving out his host rose to more and more girls leaving him plenty of time to think about the morning's previous events. "How is it possible for something like that to happen? And why when it was when I needed the information the most?" His thoughts were interrupted by the click of the opening doors.
He looked up to see the twins slump into the room. He straightened his glasses, "Where's Haruhi?" he asked.
They groaned and flung themselves on a couch in a dramatic manner, "Our toy had to go to the library-"
"-to get a book on what the teacher was talking about-"
"-in about all the classes for the upcoming tests, and-"
"-she wouldn't let us come because we would distract her-"
"-like in classes today."
Kyoya paused from typing for a moment, "And why were you distracting her in classes today?"
The twins perked up for a moment, "Are you saying you actually care about Haruhi?"
"As a scholarship student Haruhi needs to keep high scores in all her classes, it wouldn't benefit the club's fiances very much if we lost our natural host. Plus the fact that Tamaki would probably cover the entire school in mushrooms if Haruhi lost her scholarship and couldn't attend Ouran anymore," Kyoya replied coolly.
They slumped back down and he heard something about being the Shadow King again. "We weren't trying to distract Haruhi from her note taking-"
"-we were just messing with the other three new scholarship students-"
"-that's in our classes this year."
Kyoya lifted his head up, "The three new scholarship students you say?"
"What is this?" one of the twins popped up to his right.
"The almighty Kyoya doesn't know who the newest students are?" the other twin continued on the left.
Kyoya shot them a look of pure ice, "Just tell me about them." he snapped.
At that moment Haruhi walked into the club room, "Hikaru, Kaoru, what are you doing to Kyoya-sempai?"
Before anybody could make another comment there was a crash outside one of the club room windows. They all rushed over to the window to see Mori lying on the courtyard path and Honey standing next to him, his hair shadowing his eyes. Honey sprung into the air and the rest was blocked by hedges.
Theo's POV:
Coal and Theo stiffened at the sudden appearance of the childish highschool student on their brother's back. "Hiya! You guys must be the school's new triplets that everybody's talking about!" He chirped. Theo and Coal quickly observed the boy, honey-blonde hair with large honey coloured eyes, small built, but obviously strong and agile with a lot of experience and training.
Zach looked at the boy confused, "Uh . . . hi?"
"Mitsukuni," They all turned around to see a tall stony faced boy with short black hair and dark grey eyes, unlike the other student he tall but with a strong build, easily could stand a chance in a fight.
He looked at them a bit closer and was taken aback, "You two are the renown Takashi Morinozuka, national kendo champion and Mitsukuni Haninozuka, martial arts master." he commented. "I had no idea that you attended Ouran Academy, this is an honor." he bowed with Coal.
Zach looked at him stunned, "Wait, the kid on my back right now isn't a preschooler it's actually highschool 3rd year student Mitsukuni Haninozuka best in his family which is already known for their incredible skills in martial arts?!" Theo and Coal nodded. Zach turned his head to looked at the 3rd year student, "Is this true?"
He nodded cheerfully, "Yup! That's me!" he jumped off Zach's shoulders and swiftly climbed up the taller boy like he was a tree, "and this is my cousin Takashi!" He looked among them, "but I don't think I've seen you around school at all so you must be the new students!" Theo looked at Coal quickly remembering the threat that was overhanging them, Zach tried to distract the two 3rd years and Coal and Theo scanned the courtyard. "Huh?" Mitsukuni looked over Zach's head to see Coal and Theo analyzing their senerio, "What are you two doing?"
Suddenly Theo saw a flash of the light reflecting off metal, before the renown champions could react the three of them quickly ran up to Takashi hitting vital pressure points. They landing lightly and Coal quickly threw a smoke bomb giving them cover to run, not looking back to see Mitsukuni jump off his cousin's back and run after them. "That could at least buy us some time," Theo thought, "With all the pressure points we landed he'll probably be out for 15 minutes at most, enough time for us to get out of here at least," As they ran in the courtyard he occasionally turned his head to view a few hedges or fountains, "Now where are those pesky bastards?"
Zach's POV:
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! We just took down the kendo champion of Japan in less than 1 minute! Even though it was a surprise attack it must count for something . . ." Zach suddenly snapped out of his thoughts to the soft quick sounds of footsteps. He risked a glance behind them to see the Haninozuka racing after them, "Crabs!" He turned back ahead. "Uh, hey Coal we might have a problem . . ."
Coal looked back to see a demonic version of the bright and sunny 3rd year they met only a few minutes ago. He muttered something under his breath then turned his attention back ahead, "We need to get him off our trail and find the attackers. Zach do you think you could loose him for us?"
Zach gave him a curt nod, "I got it!"
"Then let's loose him at the fountains, we just over or through the fountain and split up. I'll take right, Coal left, and you keep on going straight," Theo nodded to the large fountain at the exit of the courtyard as he entered the conversation. Just as they finished they quickly approached a large five tier fountain. With inhuman agility and height they lept over the fountain splitting three ways. Zach risked another glance behind him and true to their plan the honey blonde monster was racing after him, he turned and bolted into a maze, unknown to him it was none other than Ouran Academy's famous rose maze.
Honey's POV:
He felt the younger boy tense when he jumped on his back as well as the other two. Uncertainly flashed through their eyes before they calmed down and relaxed their stances. "It looks like these guys know some fighting moves, I wonder if they'll be joining the Karate Club?" He looked over at them closely and realized that they were identical! "Ohhhh . . . these guys must be the triplets people are talking about, I wonder if they've met Hika-chan and Kao-chan yet?" "Hiya! You guys must be the school's new triplets that everybody's talking about!" He chirped. He looked over to the other two, they had a calculating look in their eyes as they scanned over him.
The boy he had landed on looked at him, "Uh . . . hi?"
"Mitsukuni," He turned and looked over to see his beloved cousin Takashi. Before he could say anythings one of the triplets perked up, "You two are the renown Takashi Morinozuka, national kendo champion and Mitsukuni Haninozuka, martial arts master." he commented. "I had no idea that you attended Ouran Academy, this is an honor." he bowed along with his brother beside him.
The boy he had landed on turned his head and gave him another confused look, "Wait, the kid on my back right now isn't a preschooler it's actually highschool 3rd year student Mitsukuni Haninozuka best in his family which is already known for their incredible skills in martial arts?!" The two others nodded, "Is this true?"
He tilted his head like he practiced and gave them a signature flowery smile, "Yup! That's me!" he jumped off the boy's shoulders and quickly climbed up his cousin's body and positioned himself his usual way of riding him, "and this is my cousin Takashi!" He looked among them, "but I don't think I've seen you around school at all so you must be the new students!"
Then the one that had recognized them suddenly glanced over to the boy next to him and the boy he had just landed started to talk about the sky. "What are they trying to do?" he thought as the two others were scanning the area around them. Finally he peeked his head over the boy's, "Huh?What are you two doing?"
Honey saw them tense and before he could shout out a warning he saw something flash and before he knew it his cousin was falling. He swiftly jumped off his shoulders before impact. There was a cloud of smoke and the fading sound of hurried footsteps. Standing up he saw that his cousin was stunned, he felt over him realizing that the triplets had hit his pressure points. "Well it looks like they have more fighting experience then they let on . . ." He looked over to a nearby fountain where something was reflecting the light. He walked over to it to find a small and light metal arrow tinted to have a golden look. I turned the arrow around in his hands confused, where did it come from? Who was it aimed at? Was this why the triplets had attacked his cousin? He looked around to find that the triplets had fled, he hesitated debating wither to leave his cousin or not. He heard the appraoching sound of footsteps and turned to see Haruhi, Kyoya, and the twins running towards them in the distance, "He'll be fine, Kyo-chan will be able to take care of him for me," he finally decided.
He stood up and raced after the triplets, one of them glanced back at him and shouted something to the others. There was a quick discussion that was abruptly cut off. Honey looked ahead to see a fountain quickly coming but the three of them didn't show any sign of stopping. With incredible agility and strength they lept up into the air and split apart. He continued forward hot on the trail of a triplet his hat fell away and Honey saw a flash of green before he disappeared into the rose maze. After taking a few twists and turns Honey looked around to see that his target had disappeared. He sighed, it was interesting, it was not many times that somebody could beat him in something like this. He was angry and yet interested.
"Honey-senpai?!" Honey snapped his head around to see Haruhi wandering around.
"Honey-senpai?" One of the twins called.
Honey straightened himself before flinging himself at Haruhi, "Haru-chan! You came looking for me!"
The twins ran up to them, "Hey Honey-senpai-" one of them started.
"-what happened to you and Mori-senpai?" the other finished.
"Is Takashi alright?!" Honey avoided their question.
"Uh, yeah. We left Kyoya-senpai with him since he has the most medical experience, he said that Mori-senpai would be alright. Uh. Hey!" Haurhi stopped as the 3rd year student hopped off her and ran out of the maze to his cousin.
"TAKASHI!" Honey flung himself at him, "Takashi are you alright?!"
"Mitsukuni," Mori sat up much to Kyoya's displeasure.
Honey wrapped his arms around Mori in a hug, "Takashi I was so worried!" Suddenly he remembered the arrow and went over to the fountain.
"Hey Mor-senpai-" One of the twins started.
"-what happened to you anyway?"
"I was with Mitsukuni when we came across some strange people, suddenly they attacked me and then everything went black." (A/N: okay I know Mori doesn't talk a lot but for the sake of the story SUCK IT UP AND DEAL WITH IT PLEASE, Honey needs to be distracted searching for the arrow at this part)
Haruhi glanced over to Honey, "Hey Honey-senpai, what are you looking for?"
Honey paused for the slightest moment debating wither to tell them or not, instead he shot her a cheerful smile, "Oh it's nothing!" He took note of Mori's slight facial change and brushed it off. After questioning Mori some more Honey discovered that the triplets had somehow been able to affect his memory because soon the details started to slip away. "What did they look like again?"
Mori's POV:
He walked slowly after his cousin Mitsukuni as he latched onto a new student. "Mitsukuni," he called out. The other three students looked to him cautiously, their eyes were calculating and observing as his were already. They had obviously received some form of proper training and possible skills that would give them a chanve in a fight against either him or Mitsukuni. His mind came back to the conversation as he heard his name mentioned when one of them were explaining who they were. With Mitsukuni on his shoulders again he suddenly felt more relaxed. Then he saw the other two tense as the other started small talk on the weather. There was a flash of light and suddenly he was falling. Everything blackened and his mind felt foggy as smoke rose around him.
When he woke up he remembered being attacked by someone but the numbers and details were foggy and unclear. As he was questioned he noticed his cousin looking for something near the fountain. Haruhi noticed as well, "Hey Honey-senpai, what are you looking for?"
He saw hesitation flash across his cousin's face for a second before he replied with a cheerful, "Oh it's nothing!" He narrowed his eyes, was Mitsukuni lying? Why would he and in such a serious situation such as this?
