"Did you know that Senri and Aiko's twin daughters and their son are going to Ouran Academy now?" Amaya smirked and sang,
"Kiss kiss, Fall in love!" Everything she knew as a Human was a lie... "Ouran Highschool Host Club, ah, that was brilliant "manga" I read." Of course, it was even a manga. It was only a figment of her powers leaking through, but leaving out anything that could pertain to her future. So, therefore, she never knew about the Vampires, the kids, anything. Only Haruhi's adventures.
"My wife is a psychic..." Hanabusa sighed, a hand pressed against the side of his face, a smile forming. "And people wonder about me sometimes."
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean!?"
"Yuzuha's twin boys." Hanabusa changed the subject quickly, causing Amaya to blink and become serious.
"What about them?"
"You know about Rin's blood tablet problem, yes?" Amaya nodded, confused to where this was heading.
"Yeah...When the sisters' found out, they came straight to you for answers."
"Yes, well, didn't the two meet the boys' once at one of their first modelling sessions as little kids?" Her eyes widened,
"Are you saying that one of them-!"
"Yes, it's likely, but I'm not sure. It could just be a defect from having a Level D as a mother, but still..."
"She's technically a Level C."
"Amaya..."
"Hanabusa...Oh look, dinner's done!" Hanabusa sweatdropped at the change of subject.
"This is why Purebloods grow enraged. Why aristocrats panic and attack their bloodmate. Their blood line will be soiled with Human blood. This concept had been with them since the beginning, and had chosen to stay with them to the end."
"Chiyo!" Rei cried out happily, tackling the blonde in a hug, "It's been so long!" Chiyo laughed loudly as she wrapped her arms around the excited brunette.
Aidou Chiyo, age fifteen, Night Class student at the infamous Cross Academy. She had pale skin with wide, narrow ice blue eyes. Her hair was a golden blonde and went above her shoulders, her bangs brushed to her right(your left) and framed her face slightly. She has a slender figure and bore the Night Class Uniform. She stood at the height of 5'5, a few inches taller than the Shiki sisters'. She was Ootori Kyoya's fiance, an arranged marriage, and the only blonde child of Aidou Hanabusa and Amaya.
"What're you doing here!?" Rei asked excitedly, while Rin merely blinked and looked at Chiyo. Chiyo was a girl of both brains and looks, something many Aristocrat children have-but she tended to be smarter than the rest, having Hanabusa as her father.
Chiyo pulled away from Rei, making a sour face. Rei instantly knew it was bad.
"Chiyo-Chan, what's wrong?"
"The Chairman, the one of Cross Academy and this school, thought it would be nice if I came to visit my "fiance." She put emphasis on the words, a sour look on her face. She wasn't a big fan of the Ootori boy, mainly because of his brothers'. She doesn't like them, so she figures Kyoya was exactly like them.
Kyoya noticed her and gave a shit-eating grin, greeting, "Ah, Chiyo, how nice of you to come visit us." She gave him a fake smile, a pink, bubbly background forming around her.
"Hello, Kyoya-Kun, so nice to see you. I've been dying to request you all day." His glasses glinted and the light covered his eyes from view as he asked,
"Is that so? Then surely you wouldn't mind helping Rin with some of the male guests?" He's trying to torture her, Chiyo knows it.
"You look really hot in that Kimono, Rin-Chan." Shiro, a boy with dark hair and eyes, commented, leaning closer to Rin. He was sitting on her right, a boy named Takanoji sitting on her left. Takanoji had light brown hair and dark eyes. Rin was wearing a light purple kimono with a pink obi and a darker sash.
"Nah, I'm good. Besides, if anything happens, I'm sure Rin can handle herself." Chiyo replied calmly, not letting him control her. She caught sight of an adorable little blonde boy, holding a cute pink bunny and spoke, "Though, I will head over there towards the little boy with the bunny and all the sweets-" She was already gone. Rei sweatdropped and looked at Kyoya, commented,
"That wasn't very nice of you to do, Kyoya-Kun. You should treat her better than that."
Kyoya replied, writing something down in his book, "She is merely a means to widen my family's business. I do not care for her, nor her me. Our marriage was decided completely by our parents."
Rei frowned and questioned, raising an eyebrow, "Do you even know why Hanabusa-Ojii-San asked your father if Chiyo could marry you?" She had Kyoya's attention now, causing the boy to stop writing and push up his glasses, turning his head to look at her.
"It's to expand the company, is it not?" Rei sighed, disappointed.
"If you don't know, then I'm not going to tell you." She started to walk away, planning on talking to Haruhi. Rin was the only twin requested today so far, so Rei was free to do what she wants.
"Rei, what exactly do you mean by "why"?" He questioned, but received no answer. He frowned and decided he'd have to try and get some answers out of his "Fiance" and their parents.
"Rin, why don't you say something?" Takanoji questioned, placing a hand over hers. Rin did not reply back, merely staring blankly at them, bored. She knew what they were planning, but once they actually tried something, she'd force them to stop.
"Your kimonos are exactly the same! Such nice colors!" A girl squealed over Hikaru and Kaoru, who were wearing dark blue and orange kimonos, that briefly resembled the ocean and sunset.
Hikaru replied with a smile, "Today all the members of the Host Club are wearing kimonos our mother designed. We can take your order if you like?" He suggested, causing a blush to spread across her face. Kaoru nodded,
"Our Grandmother dressed us up," Even though they weren't a huge fan of the woman. Suddenly, Hikaru was leaning in close to Kaoru, cupping his chin with the other on Kaoru's bare chest,
"Of course, I'm going to be the one taking off your kimono, right, Kaoru?" Kaoru instantly gained tears in his eyes, a blush spreading across his face.
"H-Hikaru, not in front of everyone, please! It-It's embarrassing!"
"No need to be shy." He whispered, causing the girls' to squeal loudly.
"Hey, Rin, I have a question..." The husky voice caught Kaoru's attention and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw two male guests approaching Rin. He recognized them as some of Rin's regulars. He officially turned his head, Hikaru leaning away, to look at them.
The female guests just thought he was being shy and squealed again.
Rin had her head ducked down, bangs covering her pink-ish eyes. They were too close...The Humans were too close. She could hear their heart pounding, the blood vessels pulsing and racing through their veins...Her throat felt very, very dry. She still never found out the reason for why the bloodtablets stopped working on her years ago, but if the great Aidou Hanabusa couldn't figure it out, she gave up.
Shiro continued to approach Rin, placing a hand on her thigh as he leaned in close to her face, "...will you go out with me?" He whispered in her ear. Rin could feel her fangs trying to protrude from her mouth and her eyes started to glow slightly. She was starting to lose control. His neck was in plain view, all she had to do was grip his shoulder and lean forward...The sweet blood gushing into her mouth and down her throat...
Her eyes turned more red and she reached a hand up to cover her mouth in an attempt to stop herself from biting the poor rapist. Lucky for her, she just barely managed to avoid him kissing her, for he chose to lean in at that moment and ended up kissing her hand instead.
"Hey, hey, no need to be shy, Rin." He cooed, trying to pry her hand from her mouth. When he found he was getting no where, he reeled his hand back to slap her. "Your mine, Shiki Ri-!"
She never felt contact with her face. Instead, a tan hand gripped Shiro's rather pale one. Shiro cried out in alarm when he was pulled off of Rin and thrown onto the couch opposite of her.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that the Host Club doesn't allow sexual harassers into the Host Club." A familiar voice spoke. Both harassers, and Rin, looked up to see Kaoru Hitachiin standing there, Rei holding back Takanoji. She had a dark look on her face as she spoke, her voice deepening,
"I'm sorry, but I don't tolerate those who try and hurt my sister." Her nails dug into Takanoji's wrist, causing him to cry out in pain. "Think again before you try to come here again."
"You are both officially banned from the Host Club." Kaoru finished with a stern look. Shiro was frightened, he knew how powerful the Hitachiin family was, of what Kaoru and/or Hikaru could do to his own family. To him. "Never come here again-If I see your face, if Rin sees your face, the Hitachiin family will not hesitate to see that the Himura and Kato families lose their business." Both boys' went extremely pale and Rei released Takanoji, causing him to run out the doors at a quick pace.
"W-Wait for me Tako-Kun!" Shiro screamed, jumping up off of the couch and out the room. Kaoru instantly turned towards Rin, hurriedly walking towards her and kneeling in front of the girl, who was leaning forward, head held down with her bangs covering her eyes. He placed his hands on her shoulders, asking,
"Hey, Rin, you okay? You're not hurt, are you?" He was glad he caught sight of what was happening. Whether Rin would accept it or not, he thought of her as a friend. It's been a few months after the Christmas party and their relationship has escalated...slightly. She was talking to him a bit more now, but he hardly seen any more emotion after the Christmas party from where she kept smirking at him as they danced. He caught sight of her heavy breathing and frowned, "Rin?"
"I'm-I'm fine..." Her breathing was shallow, feeling like she was dying from thirst. Kaoru leaned forward, trying to catch sight of her face and her expression, "Just..."
"Just?" He was getting worried, "Rin, what's wrong?" Rin's throat was burning; it was on fire.
"Rinny?" Rei asked, kneeling down next to Kaoru and placing a hand on her sister's arm.
"I'm...My throat...I-It hurts..." Kaoru knit his eyebrows,
"Is your throat sore?" He was confused; How do you get a sore throat from sexual harassment? He blinked when Rin shook her head, it still hanging down, almost resting on his shoulder.
"N-No..." Her voice was hoarse, "D..."
"D?" He questioned before asking, "Dry?" She nodded and he quickly suggested, "Do you want something to drink?" She nodded and Kaoru made to release her, only to have her grip his shoulders. "Um, Rin, I can't get you water if you keep me here-" He cut himself off when she leaned towards him, her breathe brushing across his neck. He felt his face heat up slightly as his heart pounded, "R-Rin? What're you doing?"
"Thirsty...so, thirsty..." He felt something warm and wet glide across his neck and his heart beat even faster as he froze to the spot, stiff. Was she a...? No, that wasn't possible...They don't exist...right?
Rin opened her mouth, fangs protruding, when Rei suddenly lurched forward, pulling Rin away from Kaoru's neck and placing a hand against his face, making it glow purple and knock him out. Rin chomped down on her hand and Rei flinched, but let her feed quickly, before forcing her hand away and making it heal.
Tamaki quickly ran over, thankful that none of the Humans saw what happened, and cried out,
"What on earth-!"
"I panicked!" Rei busted out, tears pricking her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-Rin was losing control and I couldn't stop myself and before I knew it I knocked him unconscious, I'm so sorry!" Tamaki glanced at the unconscious Kaoru, who was leaning against the couch, and then at Rin. His blue eyes widened in surprise.
Ironically cliche, Tamaki was only able to hear what was happening because of his Vampire hearing, because the area where the girls' hosted was halfway across the room, far away from the male Hosts. Kaoru only saw what happened because he was rather observant.
Rin's eyes were filled with guilt, a small frown on her face, as she glanced at Kaoru. Blood stained the corner of her lips as she whispered, "I lost control...Forgive me." Tamaki had the feeling that she was talking more to Kaoru rather than him, and couldn't help but let a small, sad smile spread across his face.
"Rin..." Tamaki sighed, "You're forgiven. Now, Kaoru should be waking up soon, since it was only a quick-spell. Rin...haven't you been taking the tablets?" He questioned, looking at the mahogany haired girl. He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see a guilty, sad looking Rei, who was still crying. "What is it?"
"She...The tablets don't work on her...I've been letting her drink from me." Tamaki's eyes went even wider,
"What!? Rin, why are you even attending Ouran Academy if you have such a problem!?" He was truly worried now, "Cross Academy is much better suited-the Night Class could-"
"I never even wanted to come here." Rin interrupted coldly, giving him a dark look. Tamaki shut himself up. "We were ordered by the Headmaster, who knew full well about my condition, to enroll here with our brother. That is what we are doing."
"Rin..."
"Ow, my head..." Kaoru grunted as he woke, placing a hand against his head, "Geesh, Rei, how hard did you hit me? Damn." Rei sweatdropped,
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay!?" She quickly grew frantic, "How bad is your head-do you need ice!? I can go get some ice-!"
Kaoru chuckled, waving her off, "I'm fine, I'm fine. You didn't mean it-I think. What happened.? ..I remember talking to Rin, then Rei hitting me, but I don't remember what happened between..."
"Nothing!" Rei spoke up quickly, eyes wide. "Nothing happened, now, g-go and get back to Hikaru! He's been worried about you!"
She quickly gripped his arm and pulled him up, pulling him over to his brother's table. Rin stood, wiping the access blood off of her mouth and licking it off of her hand. She bowed, "My deepest apologies, Tamaki-San, it will not happen again."
Tamaki sweatdropped, "It's fine, Rin, really! I just don't want to think about what my father might do if he hears that you lose control and attack innocent students." She nodded solemnly,
"I understand, Tamaki-San. It will not happen again." Tamaki stared at her for a moment before lunging forward and hugging her, swinging her around, crying out,
"YOU ARE JUST SO ADORABLE! MY CUTE LITTLE DAUGHTER!"
"I was thinking that this might make a great memorial offering for my Mother," Haruhi said, catching Tamaki's attention and causing him to stop spinning a dizzy Rin and make him look at her. He released Rin and set her on the ground, causing her knees to give out and make her fall to the ground, and ran over to Haruhi, placing multiple tea cakes in her hands.
"Here, child, take them all. Don't tell your mother though."
Chiyo asked Kyoya, confused, "Where did he get all those?" Kyoya smirked, writing something down, not even casting her a glance,
"Well, this is a Host Club."
"That...doesn't answer my question." She replied slowly, annoyed.
"Well, it's for my mother, but...do I really need so many?" Haruhi questioned, sweatdropping. Hikaru blinked, catching sight of someone new. She had dirty blonde hair, not a pale blonde like Tamaki's, and brown eyes.
"Aren't you a new face?" He questioned, smiling, arms crossed. Kaoru greeted with a smile,
"Please, come in."
"Come in!" Hunny added in loudly, flowers bubbling around him.
"Be nicer to the new guest!" Tamaki ordered, before reaching out a hand with a charming smile, "Come here, my Princess. There's no need to be afraid." He walked towards her and made to grab her hand, saying, "Welcome to the Ouran Host Clu-" Only to get slapped as he was pushed away.
"Don't touch me!" The girl screamed. "Faker!"
"F-Faker!?" Tamaki could barely believe what he was hearing. He had a hand over his red face, eyes wide.
"I can't believe you're recognized as a Prince in this Club!" The girl snapped, annoyed. She pointed at him, declaring, "A prince shouldn't go sprinkling his love around so easily! It makes girls' hearts tremble when you smile with sorrow, but why do you look so stupid!?" An arrow pierced Tamaki in the chest, "It's as if you're a light-headed narcissist!" Another arrow, this time in the head, "Useless! Too ordinary!" Two more arrows in the back and chest. "You're the worst!"
Tamaki screamed as he was struck with lightning before flying into the air and falling backwards, slowly. Hikaru and Kaoru gasped, Hikaru declaring,
"He's created a new technique!"
"One-Man slow motion!" Kaoru finished, headache just a small pound now. Rin and Rei blinked, Rei commenting with a smile,
"That's so cool!" Rin spoke next, still on the floor:
"Strange, though." Kyoya stared at the girl curiously for a few moments, a hand on his chin, asking after a few moments,
"Could it be, that you are...?" The girl turned her head to look at Kyoya, only to quickly burst into tears, crying out,
"Kyoya!" She jumped in the air, arms spread out as she flew towards him. Chiyo lifted her head up to look at Kyoya and questioned confused,
"You know her?" Kyoya didn't have a chance to answer, for the girl quickly wrapped her arms around him.
"How much I wanted to meet you, Kyoya, my one and only Prince." Everyone's eyes went wide and Chiyo could only ask,
"Um, sorry, what?"
...after everyone was seated on the couch(With a few exceptions) and Renge's explanation...
"Kyoya-Sempai's fiance!?" Hikaru and Kaoru exclaimed. Rei spoke up confusedly,
"But, that's impossible..." Rin nodded in silent agreement, arms crossed. They was no possible way this girl could be Ootori Kyoya's fiance...After all, he was engaged to-
"-engaged to me." Chiyo spoke, narrowing her eyes slightly from her spot next to Kyoya. She had her long, slender legs crossed and her hands clasped together and resting on her lap. Her golden blonde hair framed her face perfectly and her ice-blue eyes glittered with intelligence and protectiveness. With her high cheekbones and heart-shaped head, full pink lips and dark lashes, she appeared to be the woman of every man's dreams. She was beautiful, and being the daughter of the famous Hanabusa, she was quite intelligent. Compared to a normal Human like Renge, she seemed like a Goddess-but Renge was not that bad off herself. With her square-shaped head and big brown eyes, she was rather pretty. Chiyo didn't like the surge of protectiveness over Kyoya she got, but due to the fact that he is her...
I don't have anything against Humans, but I can't believe I'm supposed to be mated to one, She thought, slightly bitter. She shook off her bitterness and demanded of the young French girl, "Just who are you?" Kyoya smirked slightly and looked at Chiyo out of the corner of his eyes, saying,
"Now, Chiyo, she is a guest. You should use proper etiquette."
"I am using proper etiquette. What I want to know is why my so-called fiance is two-timing me."
"Is that a hint of jealousy I detect in your voice?"
"Why would I be jealous over you?" She questioned confused, turning her head to look at him. Her icy orbs locked with Kyoya's dark ones for a brief second and Chiyo felt a spike of thirst hit her. Her gaze traveled down to his neck for a brief second before removing her gaze when Renge cleared her throat, not liking this exchange between the two lovers.
"Yes, I am Kyoya's fiance. My name is Houshakuji Renge," She smiled brightly, pointing at herself, attempting to get Kyoya to notice her. "I'll be in Grade 10 Class A tomorrow. By the way, I've grown up in France since I was ten."
"-Why are you huddled in a corner with mushrooms, Suoh-Sama?" A bored, electrical voice cut in. Everyone turned to see a girl, standing at a height of about 5'5, same as Chiyo, with a graceful figure standing a few feet away from Tamaki, who was curled into a ball with his arms wrapped around his knees, tucked into his chest. Her hair was a light shade of orange, that was tied into two pigtails on either side of her head by yellow ribbons. Her bangs fell just above her eyes and cut shorter to frame the sides of her face. She had bright, forest green eyes and a rather tan complexion for a Vampire, very much like Riku and Akane, but not as dark nor light. Out of her mouth hung a chocolate Pocky stick, and she, too, adorned the Night Class uniform. She turned her head, noticing all the stares she was getting, and calmly replied, "The doors were locked, so I came through the window..." Her tone of voice was bored and monotone, but held slightly more emotion then Rin's did. People either sweatdropped, or dropped their jaws. "Hope you didn't mind." She turned her head to Chiyo, "Father said Hanabusa was worried, so he sent me to check up on you...Sorry, Chiyo."
The blonde girl sweatdropped, but smiled and shook her head, "No, it's fine. Guys, this is my friend-" Kyoya cut her off, looking through one of his black books, and pushed up his glasses, reading,
"Ichijo Rina, daughter of Ichijo Takuma and Rima, heir to the Ichijo Pharmaceutical company. Part of the "Ichijo Group". Her mother is a model and her father creates medicine, specifically the B.T." B.T. was the given name for the Blood Tablets. Everyone was to call it "B.T." when out in public.
"Do you always interrupt or are you just this rude?" Chiyo snapped, glaring at him. Kyoya smirked and snapped his book shut, pressing it against his side, underneath his arm.
Rina blinked and yawned slightly, before asking, "Is it always like this?" Rin sighed and nodded, while Rei answered cheerfully with a thumbs up,
"Yup!"
"The boss looks angry," Hikaru began as he observed Tamaki, reverting back to the original conversation. Kaoru continued,
"And all because Mommy was hiding something from Daddy."
"Whatever, but why do you feel the need to continue to referring to us as if we were husband and wife?" Kyoya questioned the twins, annoyed slightly. "Isn't it adultery then?"
"Can I just go home?" Chiyo interrupted, annoyed. Renge, who wasn't listening, pressed her hands against her cheeks, ranting,
"Oh, it was love at first sight! Being affectionate to the backyard's plants when he thoughts no one was looking, kindly reaching a hand out towards the injured kitten," She continued to rant and Hikaru and Kaoru deadpanned,
"I can't imagine that at all..."
"Who can?" Rin asked them, appearing behind them suddenly and causing them to jump just the slightest. Her face was one of poker, no emotion showing what-so-ever, except for maybe the slight annoyance.
"I can't," Rei replied, scratching the side of her head. "And I have a pretty vivid imagination." Hikaru and Kaoru looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes' and moved over to Rin, wrapping their arms around her shoulders.
"...Can you let go?" Renge continued to rant and Rin questioned confusedly, "Who...Who is she talking about?"
"Wow!" Hunny gasped; Rina turned her head in surprise-she hadn't noticed the little blonde boy. "Kyo-Chan so kind!?"
Haruhi suggested, rather bluntly with a smile, "It must be the wrong person!" Kyoya felt sweat bead down his face at the sharp comment. Chiyo nodded in agreement, placing her hands on her hips,
"Haruhi is right, there is no possible way that the same person you are talking about, and this Onyx-eyes jerk are the same person."
Hikaru and Kaoru gasped, crying, "Wait, you both should be more polite to Kyoya-Sempai!"
"Why?" Rin questioned, causing the twins' to look down at her. "She's just delusional."
"Rinny, what have I told you about being nice!?"
"What have I told about using honorifics?" Rin fired back calmly, causing Rei to deflate slightly.
"NO way, I'm wrong about this! MY EYES ARE JUSTICE!" She began to rant again, angrily. "HE'S KIND TO EVERYONE AND NEVER ASKS FOR ANYTHING IN RETURN! LOVES THE SOLITUDE BUT ACTUALLY HATES THE LONELINESS!" During this, Hikaru and Kaoru had released the Shiki twin and ran around in circles around her and Mori, crying out while scratching at their head furiously,
"Whaaa! Who is she talking about!? Who-what is going on! WHO!?"
"Stop it!" Rei and Chiyo cried, covering their ears. They were getting headaches from her screaming.
'THE THROBBING-LOVE SIMULATION GAME!" Renge pointed at Kyoya, whose eyes widened just a fraction, "YOU! Who looks like Ichijo Miyabi-Kun from Uki-Doki Memorial!"
At Ichijo, Rina turned her head towards Renge and asked, boredly, "You realize that game was created by Chiyo's mother...She based it off something she foresaw."
Renge promptly ignored, causing Chiyo to gain a tick mark.
"Uki?" Hunny asked confused.
"Doki?" Haruhi added, also confused. There was a silence before Tamaki cried out, finally standing,
"OTAKU!?"
"OTAKU!?" Hikaru had face of pure terror.. Mori let out a "Hmm" with a bored face.
"I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE!" Kaoru declared, shocked. Chiyo stormed up to Kyoya, face slightly red from anger, and demanded, poking him in the chest roughly,
"Kyoya! Damn it all, what the Hell is going on!?"
Kyoya explained, a hand on his chin, looking down at her, his elbow resting on his other hand as his right arm was wrapped around his side in his thinking pose, "She's a fan of the game, projected her love of the character onto me and somehow disillusioned herself into thinking we're engaged...I assume this Miyabi-Character wears glasses at well." He pushed up his own.
Tamaki sweatdropped, confused, "Wait...so she isn't you fiance?"
"No, I don't ever recall asking for her hand in marriage...Besides, I'm already engaged to Chiyo here." He gestured to the woman who barely came up to his shoulders, for he towered at a height of 5'11 and she a 5'5. "Last time I checked, polyandry isn't allowed here in Japan."
Tamaki let out a sigh of relief, while Hikaru, Kaoru, and Rei all gained stress lines on their faces, deadpanning, "You could've told us earlier..." Haruhi, too, had slightly stress lines, but the giant sweatdrop forming on her head was most prominent.
"I'd question your sanity, but I don't think you have any left." Rin deadpanned, looking at ranting Renge. The dirty blonde quickly pushed Chiyo out of the way, causing the blonde to stumble and let out a grunt as she stumbled, Mori calmly catching her by the arm. She thanked him and gave Renge a dark look. Renge asked excitedly,
"Is it true!? Are you really the Manager of this Club, Kyoya!?"
Hunny answered with a bright smile, holding tightly to his Usa-CHan, "Yeah! Kyo-Chan is the store manager!" Renge squealed, clasping her hands together,
"The store manager!? It suits him so well!"
"That's because he's the only one responsible and smart enough to take care of it," Chiyo told her, crossing her arms with a raised eyebrow. Renge squealed again suddenly, crying out,
"It's always been my dream to be a draw-girl for a store!"
"For the last time," Hikaru spoke, annoyed. "We don't need one; we're a Host Club."
"We're not an advertisement company." Kaoru added, also annoyed.
"I've decided," Renge declared, sparkles blooming around her. "at the same time, I'll prepare to be a bride!"
"This is getting ridiculous." Rina commented, swallowing what was left of her pocky stick. She was standing between Mori and Hunny the whole time.
"I'll be an administrative assistant for the Host Club!"
Rei face-palmed, "She's deaf..."
Hikaru and Kaoru gained sour faces, speaking in unison, "She isn't listening..." Even Tamaki had a sour face. The blonde Vampire walked over to Kyoya, who was towering of Chiyo on her right. He cleared his throat,
"Um, Kyoya-"
"She's the daughter of important business partners of my family, please, take good care of her." He gave Tamaki a shit-eating smile. Chiyo frowned deeply and questioned annoyed,
"So, basically, just let her run rampage and take over the Host Club?" He smiled down at her, eyes closed,
"Glad you understand, Chiyo." Tamaki pressed a hand against his forehead and said,
"Yes...Well, you heard the man." Rei instantly walked over to Haruhi and Rin, placing a hand on each of their shoulders', saying with a apologetic smile:
"I'm sorry, Rinny, but you know how I can't cook..." Tamaki, Hikaru, and Kaoru all came over and also placed their hands on their shoulders'.
"Rin, Haruhi..." The men said, frowns on their faces. Rin blinked confused, Why just Haruhi and me?
"This is part of your training!" Tamaki shouted as he made a break for it with tears in his eyes, "Father will be cold-hearted just this once!" Hikaru and Kaoru, both crying as well, ran in opposite directions, while Hunny jumped on Mori's back and had him carry him, Rina just walking over towards Chiyo boredly, who was standing next to Kyoya with a rather large sweatdrop and stress lines. Rei was crying loudly,
"I'm so sorry, Rin! I love you!" Rin looked towards Rina and Chiyo for help, but they quickly turned their backs to her, much like Kyoya was doing to Haruhi, who was begging for help, only to get the response of,
"Of course, Haruhi, if something goes wrong, your debt will be doubled. I'll make a note of it." Rin narrowed her eyes darkly and growled underneath her breathe,
"Dirty Bastard..."
"What was that, Rin?" Kyoya asked innocently, causing her to grit her teeth and shake her head. She scolded herself, Rin, you damn idiot, look what you did! You let something show... Blank, emotionless, puppet, doll...
"Nothing." She replied, completely monotone and Haruhi quickly suggested baking cookies and Renge agreed almost instantly,
"Anything for my precious Kyoya!" And thus the two girls were dragged by Renge into the first cooking room.
...
"Haruhi-Kun, Rin-Chan," Renge spoke and Rin's eyebrow twitched at the wrong honorifics. They weren't even friends! Rin forced herself to calm and questioned,
"What is it?"
"Should I add in more sugar in the cream?"
Rin nodded, stirring the soft mixture in a bowl with a whisk. She had her bangs pinned back with a few clips-she was 1/4 American after all- and had a dark red, plaid apron tied around her torso and waist. There was a bit of flour on her face from all the baking. "That would be helpful, yes." Renge quickly ran over to a pantry, after a few moments of searching, grabbed the left-over sugar and ran back over to Rin, pouring in a few more spoonfuls of sugar. "Thank you."
Renge beamed up at her, glad she was getting along with the famous model. She was actually kind of nice once you got her talking-not to mention Renge was a huge fan of her parents and her and her sister. Renge tried anything to talk to her, but what fan wouldn't? "Do you need help with anything else, Rin-Chan?"
"No, Renge-San, I'm fine. I appreciate it, though." Renge giggled and waved her hand,
"Please, just call me Renge, Rin-Chan!" Rin nodded slowly, uncomfortable with the familiarity of the terms...
"Yes...Thank you, Renge..." Renge's smile widened and she blinked when Haruhi asked,
"Ah, how's the chocolate coming?" She was wearing a light pink bandanna over her head with a plaid apron, same style as Rin's. Renge hurriedly rushed over and placed the pot of chocolate on the stove, turning it on and causing fire to appear to heat up the pot. Rin's nose twitched at the burning smell and turned her head confused, only to have her eyes widen a fraction.
"Perfectly fine! I'm melting them now!"
"Renge-Chan, you're not supposed to use the direct flame!" Haruhi panicked, "It'll separate!" Rin sighed and decided to take over, gently turning off the flame.
"This is basic cooking knowledge, Renge-Chan, if you don't know what you are doing, come ask Haruhi-San or myself." Rin put on the oven-mitts and picked up the pot, placing it on a non-heated burner. "First off, the tempering should begin by putting hot water in a bowl-" She blinked when Renge suddenly poured some hot water into one of the few remaining bowls with chocolate.
"Like this?" The French girl questioned, causing Haruhi to cry out,
"Not the bowl with the chocolate!"
"Renge, stop." Rin ordered, narrowing her eyes and lifting a hand and placing it against Renge's wrist.
The rest of the Host Club were outside the room, watching the three cook. Tamaki had tears in his eyes as he watched Haruhi, a blush on his face, "What a beautiful scene...so cute."
Kaoru's eyes, for some reason, couldn't move from Rin. He didn't know she could cook-she seemed more like the kind of person who would let other people cook for her, then again, weren't most aristocrats like that? If anyone seemed like they would be able to cook out of her and her sister, it would be Rei, but Rei doesn't know how to cook squat and Rin can cook and bake. A small smile fluttered across his face, his eyes closing slightly as they became misty.
There's so much about her I still don't know...I know she's confident when it comes to dancing, and from what I gathered from that dance, she's rather proud. Competitive. That was the only time I ever saw her truly show emotion...Now I know she can cook. What else can she do? What can't she do, what is she able to do-I...I want to see her smile. A real one...Not like the small, fake smiles she shows her sister when Rei is trying to get her to smile. One that means she's actually happy...She's so cute in that apron though. Kaoru tilted his head, the blood flooding to his cheeks as he followed her with his eyes, It...suits her. It compliments her eyes...They're such a nice color. He blinked in surprise when said eyes caught sight of his. He went red all the way from his neck, to his ears, to his whole face. He was caught. Her pink-ish, purple eyes observed him coolly, curiously, contemplating what his next move would be.
Kaoru said nothing, merely standing there, feet frozen to the spot, wondering what she would do.
Rin merely turned her head and spoke up, talking to Haruhi, "Haruhi-San, hand me the milk, will you?"
"Ah-Yes, of course!" Haruhi stuttered in surprise, going to get the milk. Renge made to put in a batch of cookies in the heated up oven, only to shriek and nearly drop the cookies everywhere, retracting her hand,
"Kyaa! It's hot!"
"Why the hell did you use your bare hands?" Rin demanded, turning to look at the dirty blonde. Her fair skin was turned into a pale-white, due to all the flour she was messing with.
"Why did you-I'll get some ice!" Was Haruhi's response as Renge continued to cry. Rin sighed, not knowing what to do in this kind of situation. What happened last time Rei burned her hands trying to make Daichi something? Rin remembered and closed her eyes, breathing in deeply. She could do this, she just needed to control herself. She approached the girl who held her hands out as she knelt on her knees on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She had burnt her hands-it wasn't bad, but it still hurt.
Renge stopped crying once Rin approached, confused as she knelt in front of her, "R-Rin...?" She blinked her deep brown eyes when Rin held the bottom of her wrists gently, speaking,
"If you don't think about it...It won't hurt. Close your eyes, most of the pain will be gone soon. Now, when I tell you open, open." Renge nodded and closed her eyes, oddly feeling like a little kid being scolded by their mother. Rin looked towards the door and saw no one was watching. She turned back to Renge and closed her eyes, taking in a deep breathe and concentrating.
It had been years since she last did this, but hey-practice makes perfect, right?
Renge's hands had enveloped a dark red glow, as did Rin's. Renge commented, furrowing her eyebrows, "My hands feel funny..."
"Don't open your eyes yet..."
"This is starting to get a little suspicious..." Renge's voice was joking, but curious nonetheless. "Hey, most of the pain is gone!" Rin felt her face scrunch up into pain slightly as she absorbed most of Renge's burns. The marks began to take shape on her own hands and along with it, the pain that comes with. Another one of Rin's powers is that she can take any wound from any person and inflict it upon herself, using her own healing ability to heal the persons' wounds. In response, as that persons' wounds heal, the same wounds take their place on Rin, even causing the same amount of pain. She released Renge, the red glow disappearing as the worst of the burns were found on Rin's palms. Pain flared through her hands, but she used some of her excessive healing powers to rid herself of the burns. Her throat burned for the taste of blood, her eyes starting to turn red, but she held herself back.
I can't get us expelled this far into the year...
It had been a few months since they transferred to Ouran. She spoke, remaining calm, "Open." Renge did so and blinked in surprise.
"Hey, I can barely feel it now!"
"See," Rin grabbed back onto the back of Renge's hands and twisted them, showing her, her palms. "you were barely even burned at all."
"Wow-what did you do, Rin-Chan!? That was so-so-wow!" She squealed in excitement, just in time for Haruhi to run back in with the ice.
Kaoru had peeked his head back in, just in time to hear their last few comments. He squinted his eyes, catching sight of the burns on Rin's hands as they healed. His eyes widened and he questioned himself quietly, "What is she...?" Tamaki, Hunny, Rina, Chiyo, and Rei all heard, turning their heads towards the ginger.
"By the way, what's that process?" Kyoya questioned, watching them all begin to bake again. Chiyo deadpanned,
"Baking, obviously." Kyoya gave her a look and Hunny answered instead, flowers blooming around him as hugged Usa-Chan tightly.
"She said she'd make some cookies for Kyo-Chan." Rina spoke next, boredly,
"She didn't know how, though, so Rin and Fujioka-San went to help her." Hikaru looked at her confused,
"What about you, Chiyo, and Rei?"
"Rei and I can't cook, while Chiyo just didn't want too." A smirk suddenly spread across her face as she spoke next, casting Chiyo and Kyoya mischievous looks, "I don't think she likes Renge very much, after all, the woman was hitting on Chiyo's fiance."
"Just what are you suggesting, Rina?" Chiyo demanded, "You know I hate the Ootori family. His brothers are complete jerks!"
"It's rather rude of you both to talk as though I'm not even here." Kyoya spoke up, a smirk crossing across his face. His glasses flashed with a warning, daring them to continue. Chiyo threw an icy glare towards him, barking,
"Shut up, Kyoya!"
"Hey, guys, come on," Rei interrupted, a nervous look growing on her face. "stop fighting! This isn't the time or place!" Hikaru tried to change the subject,
"I'm sure Renge mistook the Host Club with some sort of bakery or something..."
"Poor Haruhi," Tamaki said, frowning with his hands in his pockets.
"Poor, Rin." Kaoru added.
Haruhi's voice screamed, "DUMMY! ARE ALL YOUR EYES KNOT-HOLES!?"
Then came Rin's calm voice, "Calm down, Haruhi, it was just a simple mistake."
"SHE NEARLY LIT THE ROOM ON FIRE!"
"...Touche."
Everyone sweatdropped at that. Tamaki looked back in and said, "In the room which is full of sweet fragrance, cute cookies, which are just baked, and three female classmates who are getting along very well...Everything is well planned!" His blue eyes glinted as he held up his index finger and thumb.
Rei thought, What a liar.
"This is the one big project to make Haruhi realize that she is a girl!" Tamaki continued. He smiled widely, spreading out his arms as sparkles grew around him, "The gentle atmosphere that only girls' can posses will aid Haruhi to realize that she is a girl-"
"You're too noisy, Fake King." Renge's voice spoke out, scaring the life out of Tamaki. He instantly went into a corner to mope and grow mushrooms. Renge quickly stepped out, a few burnt cookies in her hands that were placed in a bowl. "My darling, Kyoya, I've learned how to make Commoners' cookies from Haruhi-Kun and Rin-Chan! I want you to serve this in the store! It was my first time to cook, so I was a bit scared, but..." Her face flushed with embarrassment.
Kyoya faked a smile down at her with his eyes closed, complimenting, "Well, the colors look okay."
"I know, I'm bad at it!" She giggled as Kyoya took the bowl from her. Renge placed her hands against her face, a blush on as she turned her back to Kyoya, shifting nervously, "I'm sure that if it's Kyoya, he'll say "Anything you make tastes delicious, Renge!" Everyone but Tamaki, Haruhi, and Rin took a cookie and bit into it. Due to some of their sharp taste buds, they ended up coughing and crying out in protest.
"Wh-What is this-!" Rei was cut off by some coughing, pounding a fist on her chest and sticking her tongue out.
Chiyo made spluttering noises as she used a tissue, attempting to get the food off of her tongue-very lady like, she knows.
Hikaru deadpanned, "Tastes Nasty."
"What is this," Kaoru questioned. "A rock?"
"It doesn't taste very good..." Hunny commented, gaining teary eyes. He could hardly believe that something as good as cookies could taste so terrible. The burn taste lingered on his tongue, poisoning his poor Vampire taste buds.
"This is not a cookie!" Rina gagged out, placing a hand over her mouth as she placed the cookie back in the bowl that Kyoya was holding. He was the only one smart enough to not take one.
Even Mori had a sour face.
Renge had made sugar cookies, Haruhi ginger cookies with a little less sweetness, while Rin made chocolate chip.
"Mine went pretty well..." Haruhi spoke up quietly, taking a bite of one of her cookies, ignoring Renge who chased Hunny and Mori in a rage. Rin nodded in agreement, leaning against a wall, putting a chocolate chip cookie in her mouth.
"I haven't made snacks in a while, considering my modelling schedule took up all my time, but it's good."
"I was just making a speech..." Hikaru and Kaoru heard Tamaki say, quickly gaining light bulbs. "She doesn't need to get so angry..."
Haruhi blinked when Hikaru suddenly towered over with a smirk, placing a hand on the back of her head and leaning down close to her face, asking, "Can I try?" And leaned down, biting half of the cookie that hung out of her mouth.
Kaoru approached Rin and placed his hands on either side of her head, observing her closely. She seemed that she could care less that he was in close proximity with her, a chocolate chip cookie dangling innocently out of her mouth with cookie crumbs and cream coating the corner of her lips.
"That tastes pretty good," Hikaru commented, chewing up the cookie. "bake a cake next time." Kaoru's eyes focused on his brother for a moment before looking down into Rin's lilac orbs, questioning,
"Is that so? Well, I do have this awful taste in my mouth..." And mimicked his brother, only to accidentally lean in closer than he should've when he went to bite off half of the cookie. His lips barely brushing over hers as he broke the cookie off. Heat spread across his face and lower region, adrenaline quickly pumping through him. He chewed the cookie, trying to seem un-bothered by it. It wasn't as though they actually kissed, right?
Rin seemed completely fine, even after the slight brush of lips. But the truth was, she was really bothered. She didn't know why, or what came over her mind, but when his lips barely brushed against hers, she gained a burst of adrenaline and wanted to kiss him. She wanted him to lean down the rest of the way and place his lips on hers, and when the blood rushed to his face...Rin felt a chill go through her and she quickly ate what was left of the cookie. She swallowed, just as Kaoru commented,
"The Chocolate chip tastes really good." But then something urged him to say, "Hey, Rin...You've got crumbs and cream on your face." Rin blinked and leaned back against the wall when Kaoru invaded her space again, this time lifting her chin up with his hand and leaning down, licking the cream and crumbs off from the corner of her mouth. The heat spread through him again and he felt an urge to try to get as close as possible to Rin...and oddly, he had an urge to make her his. Without even realizing what he was doing, he turned Rin's head towards him, his eyes gazing intently at her lips. His eyes fluttered shut slightly and he leaned down.
His mouth parted open slightly as he turned his head, about to press his lips against Rin's, when she questioned, "What are doing?" He snapped out of it, eyes widening with realization at what he almost did. He swallowed and tried to remain, replying,
"I don't know, depends on what you want me to do."
"Anyhow, both Rin and Haruhi seem to be getting along with their male classmates, wouldn't you agree, Tamaki?" Kyoya questioned, watching the scenes unfold.
"You do realize that if you wanted me to clean my face, you could've told me and I would have went and gotten a napkin or something. Not to mention you could've just went into the kitchen and grabbed a cookie for yourself. You're rather lazy."
Kaoru gave a slight grin at that and removed himself from, scratching the side of his head, "Hehehe..." He laughed nervously.
"Rin's right, Hikaru, there are more in there." Haruhi told the ruder twin, completely unaffected. Hikaru smirked as he heard Tamaki screaming unintelligible words. The blonde charged towards Haruhi, taking her face in his hands and screaming,
"YOUR REACTIONS ARE ALL WRONG! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REJECT THEM, NOT CASUALLY BRUSH THEM ASIDE!" He released Haruhi and turned towards Rin, pointing back and forth between her and Kaoru, "AND YOU! YOU ALMOST LET HIM KISS YOU AND YOU JUST LET HIM GO LIKE THAT!?" Rin blinked and shrugged,
"I don't see what the problem is. It isn't like he was actually going to do it." Yet something told her otherwise...I'm going to have to avoid him from now on...
"RIN! HARUHI!"
He hugged Haruhi tightly, crying.
"Please stop the sexual harassing, "Kissing Machine-Sempai."
"Sexual Harassment!?" Tamaki shrieked, unable to believe what he was hearing, "If this is sexual harassment, then they must be atrocious criminals!" He released Haruhi and stood up, cupping his hands around his mouth and crying out, "Waaa! Police Officers!"
