Chapter Six
"MREEEOOOOWWWW!"
"HOLY CRAP! GET THAT THING AWAY!"
"KAMI GET THAT DEVIL OUT OF OUR ROOM!"
"AAHHH!"
It was two days until Winter break was finally over and Kami was bored. She was also still pissed about the double kiss and the fact she had to have white hair for a whole week (When they got back she was nice enough to give the twins a hair dye remover concoction she had created). The past week had been the twins' living hell and this day wasn't going to be any different. The first day they got back she forced them to go with her to Kasanoda's house to pick up Star (Who has been healing real well)then hang out with her new friend. The twins were not on Kasanoda's good side that day. So now it was the second to last day of boredom and Kami decided to start the day off with a good harmless prank, keyword not harmless.
The hyper otaku's look that day was made the night before on a sugar rush. Her hair was a bright red with black highlights and then on top of her head were fake black cat ears. Her tank top was a plain black top with white paw prints going across it. The pleated skirt she was wearing was patterned in black and white checkers. Underneath the short skirt she was wearing tight black jeans. Attached to the back of her skirt was a black cat tail. She was barefoot since she was inside, but black flip flops were on the ground next to her door so she could slip them on as she left to go out.
Kami sidestepped away from the twins' door just as the two ran out, with Star biting their fingers in a death grip. "KAMI!" They yelled as they whirled around to face the redhead.
"Oh sorry, sorry! I've been trying to find that little rascal and I guess he decided to wake you two up." She shrugged and grabbed her cat before the Hitachiins decided to kill it. The teen smiled innocently and shrugged. "You really should keep your door closed."
Hikaru and Kaoru glared at the girl and crossed their arms. "We did close it. We even locked it last night! You placed that devil in our bed you brat! You picked our lock and tried to kill us in our sleep!"
"Oh stop your squabbling and get dressed. You are gonna show me how to get somewhere today." Kami giggled and slipped on her shoes. "I'll be waiting downstairs for yah! So hurry up I don't got all day. If you don't hurry maybe I'll drop my baby in your bed in the middle of the night instead." She smiled innocently and skipped off.
"And she doesn't deny she dropped that thing in our bed."
"Instead she threatens to do it again."
The two sighed and walked back into their room. "This better be something worthwhile."
--
"Explain to us again as to why you want to go there."
"Well she is my only female friend at that god forsaken school so why do I need a reason to want to hang out with her? 'Sides its New Years(1)! We need to do something fun!"
"But Kami shouldn't you have at least called to give her a heads up?
"It's rather rude to show up unexpected."
"Like you two have a right to talk." Kami rolled her eyes and stepped out of the fancy black car. "Wow it reminds me of home." She said with a laugh as she looked at the small apartment building. "It's nice to be somewhere with tons of people. Okay you two can shoo now." She slammed the car door shut and waved to the twins.
Hikaru, now dressed in a plain orange t-shirt and jean, rolled his eyes and opened the other car door. "We're coming too."
Kaoru, with the same outfit as Hikaru's only a blue t-shirt, nodded and got out the door that Kami had slammed shut. "What makes you think you're the only one that gets to have fun?"
Kami sighed and shrugged. "Fine be that way." She skipped up the small flight of stairs and knocked on the door next to the name plate that read, 'Fujioka.'
"Do you think we should have warned her about Ranka, Hikaru?" Kaoru asked as he walked up the stairs casually.
"Why bother? Nothing anyone says can prepare someone for meeting Haruhi's dad." Hikaru said with a shrug.
"True."
A scruffy looking man opened the door with large bags under his eyes. "I don't want any Girl Scout cookies."
Kami giggled and looked behind the guy into the room. "Is Haruhi home? I was wondering if she would like to hang out for a bit."
The twins walked up behind Kami and wrapped their arms around her shoulders. "Hey Ranka. Week off or something?(2)"
Ranka stared at the three at his doorstep and asked, "Haruhi has a friend that's a girl?" He stared at Kami and then said, "Or are you a guy too?"
"Oh no Fujioka-san! I'm 100 girl." Kami laugh and smiled. "So is Haruhi home?"
Ranka completely ignored Kami's question and pulled the teen into a big hug pulling her into the apartment in the process. "My daughter has a cute girl friend! God has answered my prayers! And it's Ranka dear!"
"There's nothing cute about Kami." The twins muttered to each other as they followed the energetic father and the victim of his glomp inside.
"Dad what's all the loud noise about?" Haruhi walked out of her room and raised an eyebrow at the uninvited guests. She was wearing a plain red and blue t-shirt with khaki shorts. "Kami? Hikaru? Kaoru? What are you three doing here?"
"Kami?! You're the heroine that saved my precious Haruhi!" Ranka hugged Kami even tighter and started twirling around.
"Gyaaa! Haruhi you're dad is killing me!" Kami yelled as she tried to wiggle out of the Hug of Doom (DEEP VOICE!).
Haruhi sighed and walked over to the small group. "Dad, if you keep hugging Kami like that I won't have a girl friend anymore."
Ranka laughed and let go of Kami. "Oh sorry Kami dear. I forget my own strength at times." He smiled and then hugged Haruhi. "Go! Scat! Your friends want to hang out with you! Daddy wants you to go have fun!"
"But Dad I have some homework I need to finish and-" Haruhi started to protest as Kami linked arms with her and smiled at Ranka.
"Dontchya worries Ranka-san! I'll make sure Haruhi has a blast!" Kami giggled and dragged Haruhi out of the apartment.
The twins waved to Ranka and said, "We'll make sure that Kami doesn't kill Haruhi with the 'blast.' " They laughed and followed the two girls.
Ranka sighed happily crossing his arms and then propped one on the other with his head resting on his hand. "Oh my sweet daughter finally has some female influence in her life. I'm so happy!" He somewhat squealed and skipped over to his phone. "Why didn't Kyoya tell me more about Haruhi's wonderful new friend?"(3)
--
"Kaaami."
"Why are we walking to where ever you are taking us?"
"I don't want to walk."
"I just want to take the limo."
"Kaaami are you listening to us?"
The twins sighed as they walked behind the two girls. Ever since they left Haruhi's place Kami had been completely ignoring them. It was annoying.
"No I'm not listening. I'm attempting to ignore you two." Kami said loud enough so she wouldn't have to turn around to talk to them. "You're the ones that came along uninvited. I don't have to talk to you or acknowledge you." She laughed and pointed at a large building. "Our destination! The mall! Yay!"
The twins' eyes grew wide and matching grins spread across their faces. "COMMONER'S MALL!" They yelled as they ran off.
"They've been to a department store before." Haruhi said with a sigh as she followed Kami inside. "What's the difference?"
Kami stopped walking and stared at her friend. "What's the difference? You're kidding right? Department stores are all super mass production cheapy cheap and they don't have all the cool shops that malls have.(4)" She was speaking very seriously, but then suddenly her voice went back to the goofy tone and said, "Speaking of cool shops we gotta stop by the bookstore! I gots spare cash I need to waste."
Haruhi laugh quietly and shook her head. Only Kami would find the discussion of the difference between department stores and malls so important. "What's in the book store that you want anyways?" Haruhi asked as she followed Kami through the mall.
"Well dur. I want manga. Tons and tons of manga!" The cat girl laughed and shook her black denim purse. "I got to much money. It's making my purse heavy. Heavy purses annoy me." She giggled and skipped inside the bookstore.
Haruhi sighed and said to herself. "And here I was under the impression she wasn't filthy rich like everyone else at Ouran.(5)"
"Haruhi!" The twins ran up behind Haruhi with matching grins. "What are you doing here? Don't tell us Kami dragged you here so she could fill her otaku needs."
"She said her purse was to heavy so she had to buy tons of manga." Haruhi said with a small laugh as she walked inside the bookstore to find Kami.
As the trio walked into the manga isle they almost tripped over Kami who was sitting on the floor staring at the bottom shelf of the rack.
"Hey otaku! Watch it you almost made us trip on you." Hikaru and Kaoru said as they flicked her head.
Kami waved her hand around in the air and said, "Whatever. Just look around for a bit while I find what I want. Lunch is on me if yah don't run off and leave me all alone."
The twins shrugged and started looking through the manga section instead of wandering through the store. Free lunch was a good deal for even the filthy rich.
"Haha. Kaoru look at this one. 'Shigeta is an attractive and 'physically active' female looking for her soulmate in all the wrong places. In this day and age, love is a game people play to gain an advantage over others. Sincerity and honesty are often thrown by the wayside in an effort to get to the top. However, there are those - like Shigeta - who still look for true love in spite of it all. This is their story.'(6) Who would actually read this crap?" Hikaru laughed and started flipping through the book.
"I would advise you don't flip through the books like that." Kami said as she stood up with three manga cradled in her arm as she started looking through the next shelf.
"Why is that?" Kaoru asked as he looked over Hikaru's shoulder at the manga.
"Because that book is rated M." Kami said with a shrug.
Just she said that Hikaru flipped to a rather graphic page and quickly shoved it back on the shelf. "Could have warned us earlier." He mumbled as he picked up a different book, blushing.
Kaoru snickered and picked up a book of his own. "LoveCom.(7)" He said with an eyebrow raised. He looked at the spine and then started to put it back on the shelf. "Number Two."
Kami jumped up and snatched the book from Kaoru's hands. "Yay! This isn't coming out in America until like forever(8)!" She looked down at the rest of the Lovely Complex books and squealed. "I'm in heaven!" She grabbed up as many as they had and started jumping around in a circle. "Okie dokie lets go get lunch now!" She skipped over to the cash register happily and purchased the manga.
As the four started walking out of the bookstore a very familiar blonde boy with a pink bunny dressed in a white fancy looking t-shirt and black pants sitting on another boy's shoulders that was dressed in a fancy blue shirt and tan pants walked past them. The blonde looked over to the four then yelled happily, "Takashi! There they are!" He pointed at the group and the taller one started walking over to them. "Hi Haru-chan! Hi Kami-chan! Hi Kao-chan! Hi Hika-chan! We've been trying to find you guys forever! This place is so big!"
"Hunny-senpai? Mori-senpai? What are you guys doing here?" Haruhi asked as she walked up to the two upperclassmen.
Hunny smiled and jumped off Mori's shoulder. "I wanted to play with Kami-chan today, but when I called Hika-chan and Kao-chan's mom said she went to the mall with you three! So then I decided to come with Takashi and Usa-chan!"
Hikaru and Kaoru leaned over and rested their chins on the top of Haruhi's head. "This place is really cool." They said together. "It's even better than the department store. They have a movie theater here!"
"They have Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl dubbed(9) and it's showing now." Kami said as she joined the small group. "I was thinking of dragging Haruhi in with me to watch it. I want to laugh at watching Jack Sparrow speaking Japanese."
"What's Pirates of the Caribbean?" Haruhi asked as she turned around to face the redhead.
"Isn't it the movie that people weren't expecting much out of and then it was a huge hit?" The twins asked, moving with Haruhi so their chins were still on her head.
"Isn't that one the second one Kami-chan?" Hunny asked as he squished through the twins so he was standing in front of the teen. He then noticed her cat ears and the conversation about the movie left his mind. "Kami-chan! You're a kitty cat!"
"Yup I'm a kitty. Star inspired my outfit for today." She grinned and twirled the tail around her finger. "Also Haruhi you're a poor soul, Hikaru and Kaoru yes it is, and Hunny it's the first." Kami's grin grew wider and she dropped her tail. "So who's up to seeing the best movie ever after lunch."
Haruhi shrugged and mumbled to herself, "Even if I say no I'd still end up going."
Hunny smiled and hopped back over to Mori who lifted the boy back onto his shoulders. "I'm in!" The blonde said with a big smile.
The twins nodded and pointed at Kami. "You are still buying lunch."
"Of course I am!" Kami said with a laugh. She started walking towards the food court and said over her shoulder, "You two are still buying the tickets right? Thought so."
"I can't believe she made us buy the tickets."
"I though the lunch treat was fishy."
"I bet she's still mad about the kiss."
"It's Kami what do you expect?"
The twins were sitting in the 6th row of seats of the movie theater behind Kami and Haruhi. Kami had insisted that the two girls sat by themselves and that the guys had to 'shoo to the other row' since she had wanted a girls day out. At first the twins started running around the theater like the crazy maniacs they were being amazed by the commoner way of watching movies. The group had gotten there real so early that there weren't many people there and it was still deserted it was so early. The twins had gotten bored with 'exploring' the theater so they sat down and start watching the adds on the screen. The two were about to start complaining when a very familiar yell could be heard.
"Are you sure this is the right room? How could my precious daughters not tell Daddy that they were going to see a movie with everyone else! Mom how could they? How could they?"
"Oh lordy no. Who invited the drama king? Duck and cover!" Kami pulled Haruhi down and ducked so it would be hard to see them if someone wasn't paying close attention.
"Milord. We're over here!" The twins yelled as Tamaki and Kyoya came into view. Use your imagination as to what they were wearing.
"Shh you idiots! Don't draw their attention over to us." Kami grabbed a fistful of popcorn and chucked it at the twins.
The twins shrugged and looked at each other with innocent looks. "Your score is getting to high."
"Damn bastards." Kami mumbled as she sulked in her chair.
Tamaki walked over to the redhead and brunette dramatically and bowed with the same amount of drama. "May Daddy accompany his two lovely daughters in watching the movie?"
"I don't-" Haruhi started to say when Kami cut her off.
"No. Hell no."
The blonde took a horrified step back and tears formed in his eyes. "Oh but Kami-Berry why not? Why can't Daddy watch a scary movie with his daughters? Daddy has to be there to comfort you!"
"No means no. You can comfort your sons for all I care. Plus only wimps get scared in Pirates. Oh and-" Kami grabbed a hand full of popcorn and chucked it at the drama king. "I ain't a frickkn' berry or your daughter. I never said I wanted to be your daughter anyways!"
"Waah. Mom! Kami-Berry hates Daddy!" Tamaki dejectedly sat down behind the girls next to Kyoya and Hikaru.
"Milord you really should try this commoner popcorn. It is very good."
"I like Captain Sparrow! He was cool! Don't you agree Takashi?"
"Hmm."
"It was definitely better than I expected."
"It would have been better if a certain idiot stopped laughing."
"It was hilarious seeing Jack speaking Japanese! How could I not laugh? But Barbossa's voice was almost just as fun!" Kami said as she burst out into another giggle fit.
"Was my daughter scared?" Tamaki looked at Haruhi with big eyes hoping that she would say yes.
"No. It wasn't scary Tamaki-senpai." Haruhi said with a shrug as she walked up to Kami, who was in the front of the whole group. "Where are we going anyways, Kami?"
"Heaven." The cat girl stopped in front of a store with big neon letters at the entrance that read, 'Arcade.'
"How is the Arcade heaven?" The twins stared inside the Arcade with their eyebrows raised.
"Ha I could care less about all the arcade games." Kami said with a laugh as she entered the Arcade. "There is only one thing here that makes the Arcade heaven." She headed straight to a game with two metal mats with arrows on them. In front of the mats was a screen on top of two large stereos and coin slots between the stereos. "DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION!"(10) The redhead yelled as she pulled a bulging bag out of her purse. "Plus it's SuperNova style. That's the best one!"
"What's Dance Dance Revolution?" Six of the hosts asked, for those of you who can't figure it out Mori was the 7th that didn't say anything.
"Oh come on. I can understand all you rich deprived bastards not knowing what DDR is, but Haruhi too? Come on! It was made it Japan for gawds sake!" Kami opened the bag from her purse and it was stuffed to the brim with coins. She shoved the right amount of yen into the two slots for two players and then checked to make sure both sides were on Beginner. "Okie dokie! Someone just get onto that damn mat so you can try it out."
"I wanna try it first!" Hunny yelled as he jumped up onto the free mat.
"Ah that's good! I bet you'll like this song!" Kami scrolled down the song list until she reached a song titled, 'True Love' By Jun.
The rest of the club that wasn't playing leaned in closer to watch the two, yes even Kyoya. They watched as the arrows went up the screen at a steady pace and the two hit the pad just as they hit the outlined arrow. Hunny was flailing all over the place trying to keep up and was barely getting past with Goods, he did get a couple Perfects and Greats by luck. Kami on the other hand was doing it like she was walking even though she wasn't getting Perfects or Greats every time she always seemed to be at the arrow right when she needed to, and the times when she got Goods was because she was stepping to soon. Once the song ended and their scores were added up Hunny had gotten a C and Kami an A.
"Good job Hunny! Most people completely fail on their first try on True Love!" Kami gave the small blonde boy a high five and laughed. "The sugar from all that cake you eat does help!"
Hunny laughed and jumped off the mat. "That was fun! Takashi you gotta try it!"
Mori simply nodded and said, "Maybe later."
Kami turned around and stared at the tall guy with her jaw wide open. 'He actually spoke!' She was thinking when someone jabbed her in the side.
"Yo, Kami! I want to give it a try. Same song. How do you work this thing?" Hikaru was now standing on the mat and he was staring at the buttons below the screen. He reached forward to press the center button when Kami swat his hand away.
"No touchie! I have to fix something first!" She stomped on the down arrow until the little box that said 1P was at Difficult. "Okie dokie! Now I'm ready!" She went back to the song menu and selected True Love.
"Kami-chan you can do it on a harder level?" Hunny asked as he rested his head on the bar behind Kami.
"Ha. I was just warming up. I still am." Kami said quickly before the song started.
The difference in skill was extremely noticeable with Hikaru at the mat. Since he didn't have Hunny's karate honed reflexes the best arrow scores he got were Goods, the rest were Almosts and Boos. Kami was jumping like crazy on the mat and threw her flip-flops off sometime during a jump. At the end of the song Hikaru was breathing heavily and was glowering at Kami, who was as fresh as a new box of Pocky and was jumping around on the mat waiting for her score to come up.
"Wow Kami you're real good." It was Haruhi speaking and she was staring right at Kami's score, a full combo A. Compared to Hikaru low D it looked even more impressive.
"I'm going again!" Hikaru yelled as he reached down to start the song again.
"Eeeh!" Kaoru jumped up and lightly pushed his brother off the mat. "You'll fail even worse this time. Besides I want to try!"
"Oh ho ho! So you rich bastards do know fun when you see it! Same song Kaoru?"
"Oh yeah."
The two set off on the song again and Kaoru was barely better than Hikaru. Hunny was standing on the side of the DDR mats along with Mori unlike the rest of the group that was standing behind the mats. The blonde boy was staring at Hikaru's screen and was moving Usa-chan's feet along with the arrows; Mori was just standing there in the background like he always does. Kyoya was scribbling away in his notebook (Does he take that thing everywhere?) and was constantly glancing up quickly then back down to write some more. Haruhi and Tamaki were staring at the DDR screen intently so they would be ready when it came to their turn. Haruhi, believe it or not, was kinda excited to give DDR a try and was hoping she could do pretty well. Hikaru wasn't with either of the two groups and was sitting at one of those car driving games next to the DDR game, but just like everyone else he was watching the two play.
Once the two finished the outcome was the same as when Hikaru played. Hyper Kami with an A and tired Kaoru with a D.
"Haruhi's next!" Kami yelled as she shoved more coins into the slots. "Then it's Drama-Llama-Tama's turn! Same song Haruhi? Wait of course same song! I want the same song so it's same song!"
The outcome on Kami's side by the end was the same as before, but on Haruhi's side it was a worse score than even Hikaru's. The cross-dressing brunette had only gotten one Good and her score was an E.
Kami burst out laughing and gave Haruhi a hug, still laughing like crazy. "Finally a normal person! I was thinking that I was a stupid idiot because I failed horribly on my first try and all those rich bastards were doing so well! I'm not a stupid idiot! Yay!"
"Uh.. Your welcome Kami?" Haruhi said uneasily as she slipped out of Kami's hug. She didn't think her failure at it was all that good, but it did make her feel better that Kami failed like she did on her first try.
"You know Kami I don't think that disqualifies you for the idiot position." Hikaru said with a laugh from his spot on the car game. "You're always going to be an idiot. You just proved it by saying you're not a stupid idiot. Only idiots say that, there is no such thing as a smart idiot." He grinned evilly and propped his head up on his hand, his elbow resting on the steering wheel of the game.
"Nya. Well you're always going to be a stupid ass and mind you there is no such thing as a smart ass." She stuck her tongue out at Hikaru then twirled around to face Tamaki, pointing at him. "Get your ass up Drama-King! It's you're turn!"
Tamaki started to glitter and he dramatically walked up to the DDR mat and examined the box the screen was on. "This is a rather nifty commoner device."
"Pft it ain't no commoner device. The arcade game costs like 14,000. I have no idea how much that is in yen, but in other words the arcade game is no commoner device because no commoner can afford it." Kami crossed her arms and nodded as if she knew everything. "Well that aside let's play!" She reached down to press the center green button to select when Tamaki quickly stopped her.
"No! Not yet!" The blonde grabbed her wrist and shook his head. "You play on my level too!" He had a begging puppy dog look on his face and his eyes appeared to be shining.
Kami sighed heavily and pulled her wrist free from his grasp. "Fuh-ine. Mind if I ask why?" She asked as she set her difficulty level to Beginner.
Tamaki's right hand was balled up and held at his mouth and both arms were tightly pressed against his body as he said quietly, "All the arrows on your side confuse me when watching."
The redheaded cat took a deep breath then forced a smile on her face. "You're an idiot." She said bluntly as she started the song.
"Mom! Our daughter called Daddy an idiot!" Tamaki twirled around to face Kyoya with tears in his eyes.
"Milord." The twins said, Kaoru was now sitting in the same seat as Hikaru was, boredly. "The song has already started."
"Ah!" Tamaki yelled as he tried to get back into the game.
"Wow Kami-chan! How are you doing that?!" Hunny was crouched down next to Kami who was upside down pressing the arrows with her hands. "You can't even see the arrows on the screen!"
"Show off." The twins said rolling their eyes, but they were still interested in what the show off was doing.
The group wasn't paying any more attention to the dramatic blonde and they were more interested in the upside down kitty cat.
"Wow Kami. That's impressive." Haruhi said as she watched the screen count the combo score.
"Interesting." Kyoya mumbled as he continued scribbling in his notebook.
"Kami-chan! Kami-chan! How are you doing that?" Hunny tipped Usa-chan upside down and made the stuffed animal mimic Kami's movements. "The arrows are up there and you are down here!"
"Ah one sec." Kami said quickly as she bent her elbows then pushed herself off the ground. She bent her back and planted her bare feet onto the carpets in front of the dance pad. She smiled and bowed an over exaggerated bow. "Thank you. Thank you. I know. I am the DDR Queen."
The song had ended and Kami had two As on her side of the screen, Tamaki had an E.
"Wooow!" Hunny said amazed as he stared at the screen. "You can get a higher score than an A? AA? That's so cool Kami-chan!"
"Eh I can do better." Kami said with a shrug as she pulled more coins out of her bag. "I can do a two mat routine with Coco or Zaire. That is cool." She grinned and flipped a coin into the air. "I've been playing DDR since it was released in America."
"So you have memorized the timing of the arrows so you can play without looking." Kyoya said looking up from his notebook.
"Yup yup. Glasses-Freakizoid got the bullseyes." She put the coins in the two slots and looked up to the group. "So who's gonna try to beat Hunny's score? That or you can try to beat Tamaki's score in failing." She smiled innocently and stood back up.
Tamaki sulked over to the car game next to the one Hikaru was sitting at whimpering and plopped down in the seat. "My daughters are both so cruel. They never show any affection for their beloved Daddy."
"You made yourself their Dad, Milord." Hikaru said with a shrug.
"It's not like they wanted you to be their Dad." Kaoru added with an identical shrug.
"Waaah! My unwanted sons don't like Daddy either!"
"Milord-" The two said with a sigh. "You need help."
"YO YO YO! Doppelgangers! Drama-Llama! The smarty pants is going to give DDR a try!"
"Milord stop your moping and be prepared to laugh your head off." The twins smirked and turned their attention back to the group at the DDR game.
Kyoya's turn was no better than everyone else's and he seemed rather embarrassed about the outcome. "This commoner game is completely illogical." He muttered as he stepped off the mat pushing his glasses up his nose.
"Takashi! Takashi! Try it! Try it! Please Takashi you have to try it! It's so much fun!" Hunny was tugging on Mori and dragging him over to the mat next to Kami. "Kami-chan! Tell Takashi he has to try at least one round!"
"Mori-os! Give it a try!" Kami said with a laugh. "Mori-os. It sounds like a cereal." She snickered and waved her hand in the air as if she was wiping something away. "Mori-os. Made with a real rare fruit, Moris! For a limited time offer you can get a Mori action figure. And I will keep going on about Mori-os if you do not play at least one round."
Mori stared at Kami with his blank look then shrugged slightly. "Won't hurt." His gruff voice said.
Hunny cheered and pushed Mori onto the dance mat. "Go Takashi!"
"Go Mori!" The twins yelled with their arms linked. Hikaru wasn't sitting on the car seat anymore; instead he was standing with Kaoru behind the DDR mats cheering Mori on. "Show Kami that us rich bastards aren't completely hopeless!"
"You're right." Kami said quietly to Mori. "It's all in the form." She grinned and started the song.
What happened next shocked the group immensely. By the end of the song Kami (on Difficult) had her full combo A like all the other times and Mori (on Beginner) had an A, a low A, but an A nonetheless.
"Takashi! You're a natural! How did you do that?" Hunny yelled as he ran into Mori, hugging the tall guy.
"Form." The quiet guy said.
Kami giggled and nodded. "Moo-Moo-Mori realized that if you return to the center after pressing an arrow it messes you up! Go Moo-Moo-Mori!"
The twins appeared behind Kami and each of the wrapped an arm around her neck. "You knew we would return to the middle didn't you, you little brat."
"Well of course!" Kami said with a smile. "But I enjoyed watching you guys fail so miserably. So who's up for another game?"
Seven hands shot up into the air.
"Well that's great cause I gots lots of spare change!"
--
"Kami! Wake up already! We're gonna be late!"
The short blonde with the girl's uniform for Ouran stepped out of her room. "Yeah yeah yeah. I heard you two. What are we late for anyways?" Kami yawned lazily and deep in the back of her head she wondered why she was wearing the poofy dress for Ouran, why she was blonde also flitted through her mind as well.
The twins rolled their eyes and each of them grabbed Kami's arms. "You are obviously still half asleep. Come on, we're going to be late for school because of you!" The two lifted Kami off the ground and ran down the hall.
"School? But school is tomorrow." Kami said confused and for some reason she wasn't screaming at the twins to unhand her, again in the back of her mind she wondered why.
"Eh, Hikaru, it seems that she really is still asleep. I wouldn't be surprised if forgot about everything that happened last night." Kaoru said with a smug grin.
Hikaru matched Kaoru's grin and nodded. "You're right Kaoru, she probably has, but hey its for the better. She wasn't supposed to know about it anyways."
"Ah true true." Kaoru shrugged as the group reached the Hitachiin drive way.
A black car was waiting for the three with the door wide open. "Tally-ho!" The two yelled as they threw Kami into the car before she started asking them what they were talking about.
Kami still didn't get a chance to ask them because they arrived at the school almost instantly. "That took shorter than usual." She said looking outside.
"Ugh, Kaoru she really is still asleep." Hikaru said with a sigh as her grabbed Kami's arm on his side.
"Looks like we gotta escort the idiot to class, again." Kaoru said with a sigh of his own as her grabbed Kami's other arm.
Kami was in a daze, she could barely remember the walk up to the classroom and during class she could barely pay attention, something was seriously wrong with her today. 'Maybe the twins got me drunk last night.' She thought, propping her head up with her hand. 'And then maybe something else happened after that. Or maybe they knocked me unconscious with a prank gone bad or-'
Kami's thought process was interrupted when the three Host Club members in front of her all stood up simultaneously and asked, "Teacher! Can I go to the nurse? I don't feel well!"
The teacher look up and smiled, "Of course you three. It's not good to be in the classroom when you are sick!"
Hikaru, Kaoru, and Haruhi all left the classroom and down the hall.
'What the hell? Something is up.' Kami shot up out of her seat and clutched her stomach. "Teacher. I think Hikaru and Kaoru gave whatever they have to me."
The teacher looked up and smiled again. "Well then Kami hurry up and go to the nurses office so none of us catch it too!"
Kami nodded and raced out of the room. Once again in the back of her mind she wondered what was up with the teacher. She saw the three turn around a corner and dashed after them. The blonde whizzed into the hallway, but no one was there. "Okay." She said quietly to herself. They had just disappeared into thin air. "Where the hell did they go?" Kami asked herself, not expecting any type of answer, as she continued walking down the hallway.
The blonde did get an answer. If she had been walking any faster Kami would have been pulverized. Just inches away from where she stood a giant monster creature thing crashed down, glass and parts of the building went flying as the thing crashed.
"Holy Chocobos!" Kami screeched as she quickly pressed herself against the wall, somehow she was unscathed.
"How dare you endanger the students of Ouran you giant fiend!" A very familiar voice yelled.
Seven boys in what looked like Ouran outfits now stood on the other side of the monster. Each of the boys had a different colored shirt, expect two of them who looked identical, with a tie of the same color and each of them wore a Zorro-like mask in the same color as their shirt and tie. There was a blonde with a red shirt, tie, and mask that appeared to be the leader of the group since he was standing in the middle of the seven. On his right was a boy with brown hair and a white theme. Next to the white boy were two redheads exactly the same height with a blue theme. On the left of the blonde was another blonde, but way shorter in a pink theme and in his arm a pink bunny with a mask of its own rested. Standing behind the pink boy was a tall black haired guy with a silver theme. Then standing next to the pink boy was another black haired guy with a black theme, underneath his mask the outline of glasses could be seen.
"We are!" They all yelled at the same time. "The Ouran Corps Rangers!"
Kami stared at the group as they posed dramatically, obviously expecting sometime of applause or something. "What the freak?" The blonde said with a raised eyebrow. "Why the hell are you guys dressed up in weird Ouran uniforms? What's with the masks anyways? It's obvious who you are."
The red clad blonde took a dramatic step back and then looked over to the red heads. "Rangers Blue! You said that Kami-Berry forgot what happened last night!"
'Rangers Blue' shrugged casually and said simultaneously, "We said she was half asleep and didn't remember anything. She is obviously awake and remembers now."
"No." Kami said with a blank stare. "No, I don't remember anything, but thank you for confirming the 1 of doubt I had that your weren't the Hosts."
"What? How did she see through our disguises?" Tamaki yelled taking another dramatic step back.
"How can I not see through your 'disguise'?" Kami said with another blank stare. She was sitting on the floor, she didn't remember sitting down, and her eyelids seemed to want to stick to her eyeballs every time she blinked.
"Kami?" Haruhi asked staring at her friend. "Is something wrong?"
Kami didn't have a chance to answer because the monster started stirring again. The thing looked over at Kami and stared into her eyes.
"A nap would be nice." Kami muttered quietly as her eyelids closed halfway and didn't want to go back up no matter how much she tried. "But it's not good to fall asleep with a monster right th-" She couldn't finish her sentence as she toppled over onto the floor.
Kami was no longer in her body, she was watching above everything. 'Well this is odd. It's almost like a dream.' She thought to herself as she watched the twins run over to her.
"Kami!" They yelled, shaking her. "Kami! Wake up! Kami! Kami!"
A tall blonde girl suddenly appeared and she yelled, "It's no use! You have to destroy the monster!"
Everything went black.
"Kami! Get your lazy butt out of bed! It's one already and you have two packages! Kami!"
Kami opened her eyes groggily. "Nyro?" She said sleepily as she sat up in her bed.
"KAMI!"
"Nyaa!" The short teen fell over out of her bed onto the floor. A scowl covered her face and she stormed over to her door, slamming it open. "What the hell do you freaks want?!" She yelled at the two twins standing in the hall.
"Oh the sleeping monster has finally awakened." The two said with lopsided grins. "It's no wonder you slept so hard after what happened last night, but sleeping past noon is a bit to far."
The redhead, her black highlights from the day before were gone, stared at the two with wide eyes. "You mean it wasn't a dream? You guys really are Ouran Corps Rangers? Who was that blonde that showed up after the monster started waking up?"
The twins stared at Kami and then at each other. "It seems that she is still asleep Kaoru." Hikaru said with a small smirk.
"Yes it does seem that way, doesn't it Hikaru?" Kaoru replied with a matching smirk. "We were playing DDR till closing time at the mall. You were so tired we had to carry you to the car and then up to your room."
"What? Oh so it really was a dream." Kami said with a sigh of relief. The blonde in the dream confused her though she had seemed somewhat familiar.
"Did the Kami-Berry
have a bad dream?" The twins said with fake sympathetic looks.
Kami glared at the two and replied, "It wasn't scary even
though you two were in it, oddly. It was more of a weird dream."
Kaoru crossed his arms thoughtfully. "It's said that weird dreams are often dreams that tell the future."
Kami smirked and shook her head. "No. I don't think my dream is predicting the future." She noticed two boxes resting against the wall behind the twins and looked up at the twins with a curious look.
"Oh. Those." Hikaru said with a shrug. "They arrived this morning. They don't have a return address and it's addressed to your name, Kami. Not Masami which we found odd."
Kami sighed and walked over to the two large packages. "What the hell does she need me to do now?" She asked to herself as she picked them up, with trouble for they were heavy, and brought them into her room.
The twins followed the teen curiously. They wanted to know what was inside the boxes.
Kami set the packages down on her floor and swiftly tore both open. Inside one was an electric guitar and inside the other was a keyboard. Shoved between the guitar strings was a small note. The redhead pulled it out and read it with a scowl. "Dammit Coco. You always do this to me." She sighed and looked over at the twins. "Get out. I never said you could come in. Shoo! Shoo!"
Hikaru and Kaoru shrugged as they were shoved out of the otaku's room. The door slammed shut behind them and hanging from the doorknob was a little note that read, 'LEAVE ME ALONE!'
"Do you think we should have told the brat that Milord has invited us to play DDR with him and the rest?" Hikaru asked Kaoru boredly.
"Why bother? She wants to be left alone." Kaoru smiled and gestured to the note on her doorknob. "Let's get going now. We promised Haruhi that we'd pick her up, remember?"
The rest of the day for Hikaru and Kaoru went wonderful. They played DDR until the mall closed, again. Everyone was still trying to perfect his or her form of playing except for Mori who had gotten the form right on his first try. Amazingly enough Kyoya was just as interested in DDR as the rest of them. The Dark Lord was an odd person.
When the twins arrived home they headed straight to the kitchen to snack on some of Kami's commoner food. The hyperactive otaku had bought lots of Japanese candies and snacks that she stored in the kitchen pantry, leaving no room for anything else. The twins had found that the food was actually pretty good so they snuck some of her stash into their room from time to time. Kami was very protective of her food so they really did need to sneak it.
Oddly enough the food supply of Kami's stash was very low when the twins opened the pantry, the otaku usually made sure it was close to overflowing. The twins grabbed up some of the remaining snacks and headed upstairs to their room. All was quiet from Kami's room so the two assumed that she was asleep already, it was fairly late.
The twins hung out in their room for a bit, but it wasn't long before Hikaru fell dead asleep. Kaoru was still awake and munching of some of Kami's chocolate Pocky when the sound of a guitar playing came from across the hall.
"I thought she was asleep already." Kaoru said with a small yawn. He stuffed the rest of the Pocky into his mouth and headed out of his room over to Kami's room across the hall. The redhead opened her door slightly, he was curious as to what she was playing, and Kami didn't seem to notice him.
The otaku was sitting on her bed with her legs pulled up beneath her. A notebook was lying on the bed next to her and surrounding her as well as lying on the floor was balled up pieces of paper. She stopped playing the guitar for a moment and lay it down on her lap. She bit the tip of her bright orange pen, thinking. Her eyes went wide and she bent down over her notebook and quickly wrote something down. She picked her guitar up again and started playing what sounded like the beginning to a song.
Kaoru didn't recognize it and leaned in more into Kami's room when he heard her singing softly to the upbeat tune.
"Hey Fallen Angel; Your masquerade is over; Your mask has fallen; But you have fallen farther; Down down down; Hey Fallen Angel; Be mine. I saw you fall; From the skies; They couldn't bear it; All your-"(11) She paused and stared at the ceiling. "Wait. Pain doesn't fit at all! Jeez Coco you're so frickkn' demanding." Kami set her guitar down again and picked her notebook up. "All your. All your. All your what? Pain doesn't fit the tune." She started biting her lip trying to think of a word to fill in the blank.
Kaoru stared at Kami with wide eyes. He didn't know she could play the guitar so well, but her singing shocked him the most. Sure it was quiet and he had to strain to hear her, but what he did hear was beautiful. One thing that crossed his mind was, how could such a loud violent brat sing so good? Then he remembered the incident with the Zuka Club and Haruhi. Haruhi was the exact opposite of Kami and couldn't even hold a single note. Talent really did have nothing to do with how you acted.
While Kami was singing Kaoru has translated the lyrics and found them rather odd. Why did an upbeat happy sounding tune have such dark lyrics? When Kami stopped playing and singing the twin opened his eyes, just realizing that he had closed them, and watched her ponder over what word to take place of pain.
"What about sorrow?" Kaoru suggested as he stepped into the teen's room. He then noticed the floor was also littered with snack wrappers as well as the crumbled up pieces of paper. 'So that's where all the snacks went.' The twin thought to himself as he surveyed the floor.
"Sorrow! That's great!" Kami quickly crossed out the word pain on her notebook and replaced it with sorrow. She paused and then looked up at Kaoru. "Kaoru? What are you doing in here?"
Kaoru blinked and suddenly realized he has spoken aloud. He wasn't planning on making his presence known. "I heard you playing the guitar and was curious as to what you were doing." He said with a shrug trying to hide the fact he was surprised.
Kami stared at him and then turned a light shade of pink. "You. Uh. I guess you heard me singing then." Her green and gray gaze looked away from Kaoru embarrassed. "I'm a horrible singer. I hate singing in front of people."
Kaoru was a bit shocked, adding on to his shock list of the night, that Kami had actually blushed. That was something he had never seen her something do and he never imagined her actually blushing. The twin shook his head and said quickly, "Actually I thought you sounded real good. What song is that anyways?" He started to take a step forward, but then noticed some 'female clothing' lying on the floor among the chaos on the ground so he stayed put. In the back of his mind he wondered why her room was such a mess, surely the maids came in and cleaned it every day.
Kami ignored his comment about her singing and instead she flushed a darker shade of pink. "It's a song I'm making for Coco. She made a small band with Zaire and a couple of her friends and they go around to different conventions. Among the otaku community they are actually pretty famous, but only in the otaku community. Apparently she is going to another convention during the rest of her winter break near some friend of hers." The teen shrugged and added, "I'm forced to be the songwriter for them. They can play their instruments and can sing, but they are retarded when it comes to composing a song."
"Oh cool." Kaoru said awkwardly as he now noticed what she was dressed in. The only thing the otaku was wearing was a giant t-shirt and undergarments. Her undies were coved with the guitar sitting on her lap, but Kaoru could see that she was in fact not wearing any pants.
Kami looked back up at Kaoru and a glare now replaced her blush, any signs of the embarrassed Kami were completely gone. "What the hell are you doing in my room anyways? Can't you read? The sign said leave me alone! Scat you half of a double!"
Kaoru rolled his eyes and headed out of Kami's room. He shouldn't have let his guard down and start thinking she was cute. Kami was Kami. There was nothing cute about her. The twin froze in Kami's doorway with a look of shock on his face. Was he just considering that Kami was cute? The twin shook his head to clear his thoughts and assumed he was probably just tired. When you're tired weird thoughts pop into you head. "See you in the morning brat." Kaoru muttered as he shut Kami's door behind him.
"Thanks for the word." Kami said quietly to herself as she went back to work on her song.
"Kami! Get out here already! We're gonna be super late for school!"
Kami rolled her eyes as she grabbed her backpack up off her chair. "See you later Star!" She said cheerfully as she skipped out her room.
Her look today was one of her odder ones. She had neon green hair pulled up into two pigtails on the side of her head. Attached to the hairbands holding her pigtails up were multiple braided strands of yarn. There were four yarn braids attached to each of the hair bands. Two of the four were made of white yarn for two of the threads and the third thread was orange. The other two were the opposite. The length of the braids differed. Two were long enough to brush her shoulder and the other two reached her waist. Her shirt was a pastel yellow shirt with a black cat on the side of it. On the back below the neckline was a little logo that said, 'Gaia' and then a website address below it. She was wearing an orange miniskirt with a green and white yarn braid belt. White stockings with yellow paw prints went up to her thighs and on her feet she wore green combat boots.
"What the heck were you doing you stupid brat?" The twins asked as they headed down the hallway.
"Oh I was just chatting with Coco. That's all." Kami smiled and squished between the two. "I would have been ready earlier if a certain pair of twins had remembered to knock on my door right when they woke up."
"Don't try to move the blame of us being late to school on us Kami." Hikaru said with a glare. "It's not our fault we slept in a bit and that your rely on us to wake you up."
"Whatever you say." Kami said with a shrug. "But I hope you're ready to run for our lives once we get to school!" The green haired teen giggled and skipped off ahead of the two.
"Brat," Hikaru and Kaoru muttered at the same time.
Back in Kami's room she had forgotten to log off of her YIM account and Coco was still Iming her…

End of Chapter Six
(1) New Years: Christmas is ignored for now. I'm pretty sure that in Japan Christmas is mostly a party and couples night. So I just chose New Years for the DDR fun :3
(2) Ranka and Week Off: Just thought I should put a little reminder that Ranka works at a Gay Bar and I just assume that on his days off he actually looks manlyish
(3) Kyoya telling Ranka about Kami: Kyoya still talks about Haruhi's life at Ouran with Ranka so he mentioned Kami a couple times
(4) Malls and Department Stores: I'm not to sure if I'm completely correct with thing, but I'm pretty sure that department stores are different from malls. They don't have multiple different stores squished into one building, instead it's like one supersized store.
(5) Kami Filthy Rich: She isn't rich, she just has spare cash from her picture taking
(6) The Summary of the Manga: I just randomly found a summary on and used it. XD I've never read that and I can't even remember the title. Sorry to readers who like that manga
(7) LoveCom: One of the best series ever! Also called Lovely Complex
(8) Forever: Book one just came out so of course in January in America it would be forever until both one and two would be out
(9) Pirates of the Caribbean dub: I'm pretty sure that POTC hasn't been dubbed to Japanese yet, but hey its a fanfic!
(10) DDR: It's a dancing game. It is very very sad if you don't know what DDR is
(11) The Song Kami was Singing: Yes. Sadly I made it up. -sighs- I made the whole song since I wanted something original for Coco's band. Sadly the whole song will be posted in a future chapter. Please don't kill me for typing such horrible lyrics
(12) !!NOTE!! The reason the times are shown in the IM chat is to show the times Coco is IMing Kami. I'm just assuming that Ouran starts at 8 so the times are also helpful with that
Jem: Mwuhahaha! Hopefully it won't take me another month to upload the next chapter. :3 you all would hate me so much. Hope you enjoyed! R&R please!
