Jem: Heh. Once again I took quite a while huh? Sorrys. –insert smilie that doesn't work here- What got me to actually finish this was that I got a guinea pig of my very own (my lil sis had one for a while) and she is almost pure gray with a white tummy and splotch of white on her back. Solid gray is a pretty rare color for guinea pigs apparently. Guess what else is rare in the color gray. Eyes. So of course I had to name her Kami! Kami kept staring at me with these really cute eyes so I was like, "I have to finish my chapter to I can talk about my little Kami!" Yesh. So thank Kami. XD
Chapter Seven
"Look at that guy with the silver hair."
"Where?"
"There!"
"Kyaa! He's so cute! I wonder if that's his girlfriend standing next to him. I hope not. She looks like a model."
"Nah. Look at their facial features. They look like siblings."
"Yeah I can see those bright blue eyes from here. I wonder why they are waiting outside of Ouran."
"Maybe they are transferring."
"Kyaa! I hope so! Maybe Tamaki-senpai will notice that cute boy and ask him to join the Host Club. I would totally become his customer."
"Same here."
"Himeko-chan! Aneka-chan! Hurry up we promised sensei that we would help her set up for cooking class today!"
The two girls that were discussing the peculiar people standing at the gate giggled and ran off into the Ouran courtyard, right past a redhead we all known so very well.
Kasanoda sighed as the two girls dressed in the yellow uniforms of Ouran ran past him. All morning those two weird people had been standing there. The girl had been doing something on her cell phone. Kasanoda assumed that she was text messaging someone or something like that. It amazed him how fast her fingers seemed to be moving and he was at least 15 feet away from her. It was even more amazing he could tell she was even moving her fingers. The guy had been hopping around as if he was waiting for something ever since the two showed up. First he hopped around on his right foot then switch to his left five minutes later. The process continued over and over again.
Now not only their actions were peculiar. They were dressed in odd outfits as well, not to mention the guy had silver hair. The way the two were dressed reminded Kasanoda of Kami. He didn't know that other people actually considered dressing like his otaku friend, but then again otaku seemed to be written all over the two.
The tall blonde girl, she was probably just as tall or just a tiny bit shorter than Kasanoda, at first glance looked like your average non-otaku girl, but so did Kami. After standing there at the gate for a while Kasanoda noticed the signs of otakuism (In the back of his mind he wondered if that was even a word). For example her outfit at first glance it looked plain enough. She was wearing what looked like a normal Japanese school uniform. A white blouse beneath a black long sleeved jacket like top with the neck of the blouse pulled out above the jacket. Gray threads outlined the jackets around the neck, pockets, cuffs, and even the main body of it. On the cuffs there were two small silver rose shaped cuffs, Kasanoda wasn't sure if it was real silver or not. Tied around her neck where a tie would go was a crimson red ribbon. Hanging from her upper arm was a white band with marking in the same color. Her skirt was a plain pleated skirt the same color black as the jacket. On her feet were sepia colored shoes that looked like they could have been school issued. Unlike most commoner schoolgirls her socks were not bunched around her ankles, instead the black socks were pulled up to her thighs, a bit past her knee. Also resting around her neck was a silver necklace with a rose pattern like her armband.
The silver-haired boy had a bit of a Haruhi like haircut and one of his eyes was covered with silver hair. He was taller than the girl by a foot, which meant he was probably close to Mori's height. He wore a uniform as well and it was obvious it was the boy's version of the girl's uniform. His first layer was a white blouse and the neck of the blouse appeared that it should have been buttoned tightly around the boy's neck, but it was sloppily splayed out. On one side of his neck was a tattoo that appeared to be a simpler design of the one of the girl's armband as well as his for he was wearing one too. His jacket was unbuttoned and was flying about all over the place with his constant jumping. Tied loosely at the base of the boy's neck was a crimson red tie. His vest underneath the jacket was buttoned up to the 5th or 6th button where it was unbutton so his tie would be free to go wherever it wanted to. His pants were simple black dress pants that ended a bit below his ankles to his sepia colored shoes. As the guy jumped around Kasanoda counted four earrings on him. Two hoops on the top of his ear on one and then one hoop and half a hoop on the other, all of the hoops were silver and resembled fangs with their jagged edges.
Now for any normal person the two seemed normal enough, two siblings, one a punk the other a good student, waiting for a friend that went to a rich school, but normal people didn't have Kami as a friend. While hanging out with Kami she was always randomly pulling manga out of nowhere to show him stuff and there was one book that had caught the redhead's eye and he still remembered, a manga called 'Vampire Knight(1).' The uniforms the two were wearing looked oddly familiar and when Kasanoda thought about it the uniforms really did look like cosplay costumes. When he examined the girl closer his doubts about them being otakus were wiped away. Hanging from the blonde's cell phone were multiple charms. Every single one was obviously some type of anime character.
Kasanoda had spent a good 15 minutes observing the two until around 7:30 when the first warning bell rang, he had arrived at the school around 7:00. Why did he show up so early and wait for so long? Well today was his first day the Gardening Club was running again, the president had gotten a nasty flu and the club had been canceled for quite awhile. He wanted to make sure Kami knew before the end of the day so she wouldn't be waiting for him after school to hang out. The redhead probably could meet up with her at lunch, but he wanted to make sure he would definitely be able to tell her so he decided to wait for her to show up. So far his conclusions were Kami was sick as well as the twins, she and the twins showed up really early, or they were running real late. His bet was on the last conclusion.
The redheaded yankee was about to call it quits and head to class before the second warning bell rang when he noticed the two odd otakus coming over to him. 'Oh no. Don't tell me they want to talk to me. Why do they want to talk to me?' Kasanoda glared at the two with a glare that had, 'Leave me alone or I'll kill you' written all over it.
The silver haired boy froze in place and paled immensely. The blonde, however, had a different reaction. She laughed and ran over to the glaring yankee.
'Why do I have such a bad feeling about this?' Kasanoda asked himself in the back of his mind. The only other person to laugh at his glare was Kami and even though she was his friend he had to say she had serious problems. Not that they were bad problems, but she was a very odd person that seemed to bring problems with her. The fact she had an attitude to most people that said 'It's my pleasure to piss you off' didn't help much, but still Kasanoda had decided that whenever someone laughed at his glare he was going to meet a very special person. Special not in a particularly good way.
"Are you Glares-A-Lot-Ritsu-Non-Lookalike-san?" The blonde asked in sloppy Japanese.
Kasanoda stared at the blonde with wide eyes. Only Kami called him 'Ritsu-Non-Lookalike' and no one else seemed brave enough to call him that besides her. "What if I am?" He said gruffly trying to avoid eye contact with the girl.
"Ah so then you know Kami-Kami!" The blonde said with a giggle. She stepped over so she was looking at Kasanoda right in the eyes and asked, "Is that idiot here yet or did we miss her?"
"What?" The silver haired guy yelled as he ran over to the two. "We missed Kami-Kami?!" He yelled again in a whiney tone. "Then we have to wait all day until the end of school for Kami-Kami to show up!"
"Shut up Zaire." The blonde snapped as she dug her heel into the guy's foot.
"Yeoow!" He yelled as he jumped up and then started jumping around all over the place again, but this time holding onto his foot.
Kasanoda decided to take their bickering moment to make an escape. He did not want to face yet another fearless girl. One Kami was enough for him. The redhead started to dash off into the school.
"Nyet nyet nyet." The blonde said with a sigh. She grabbed the back of his shirt and somehow held the guy back. "You gotta answer my question Ritsu-Non-Lookalike. What was it that Kami said you're last name was? Kasanova? Bossa Nova? Kasanodal? Kasanoodle? Ah Noodle! So Noodle has Kami showed up already or not?"
Kasanoda looked over his shoulder and glared daggers at the blonde. He did not want to be called Noodle. "I don't know."
"Oh yay! I was right! You are Noodle!" The blonde smiled and let go of Kasanoda's shirt. "Run along little puppy. You have done your work, but just don't tell Kami about us! That is a must not! YO!" The blonde twirled around and started walking to her car. "Zaire! You pathetic faker. Get that ugly ass of yours into the frickkn' car! We're gonna try to get the idiot today after school!"
The silver haired boy let go of his foot and then ran off to their car happily. "Get to see Kami-chan! Get to see Kami-chan!" He sang as he plopped himself down into the car.
Just as the car drove off the final warning bell rang, only five minutes to get to class. Kasanoda sighed and ran off to class. Like hell he wasn't going to tell Kami about the two psychopaths waiting for her. He just hoped that he would be able to warn his friend before it was too late.
As Kasanoda ran off to his class a fancy black car sped up to the gates of Ouran. The doors in the back flew open and two redheads and a green haired girl dashed out of the car.
"We're gonna be late on our first day back! You idiots had to oversleep!" Kami yelled as she dashed off across the courtyard. Since she was sitting in the seat next to the door that opened closest to the gate she had a head start.
The twins dashed after her and laughed to each other. "It's amazing such a small runt can run so fast. You would think that her short legs would run slower than Haruhi." The two said simultaneously as they came into Kami's hearing range, it wasn't only their fault they were going to be late.
They could see her head jerk to the side, the sign she twitched. It had taken a while, but the twins were able to learn that whenever Kami twitched it was a big twitch that made her whole head jerk to the side forcefully. It was funny to watch her twitch, but the two had just touched a very taboo subject and they were going to regret it.
Kami stopped running and the two slowed down a bit with their eyebrows raised wondering what she was doing. They looked at each other then were about to look back at Kami when a rock went sailing past the two.
"I'm not a runt!" Kami yelled as she picked up another rock and chucked it at them. "I would think that being in Japan would be better than America cause all of you Asians are short compared to Americans! I've dealt with all the frickkn' short jokes you could think of back at home and I am NOT going to tolerate you two! So you are going down!" She opened her backpack and then pulled a gigantic hardback book out of it. (2)
The twins backed up a bit, Kami with a large book wasn't very reassuring, and said jokingly, "Wow Kami we didn't know you read actual books."
"Why actually I am quite a bookworm." She said with a smile as she stroked the spine of the book.
Slowly the otaku walked up to Hikaru and Kaoru with a large grin, the book balanced by her right arm on her shoulder. "Have you two ever read Harry Potter?" Kami asked innocently as she placed her other hand onto the book.
"N-no." Hikaru and Kaoru said with their eyes on the book.
"Oh that's to bad." She tightened her grip on the book and smiled even larger at the twins, but it was obvious she was still very pissed. "Cause book 5 is going to be implanted into your mind." Right as she had finished the sentence the book went flying down where Hikaru's head was, but the redhead was quick enough to sidestep before it made impact.
Hikaru could tell from just the air pressure that the force of Kami's swing was hard, very hard, so hard that it would be very unsmart to be hit by it. "Run Kaoru!" He yelled as he dashed away, pulled Kaoru behind him.
"Come back you asses!" Kami yelled as she chased after the two.
Up above in class 1-A a certain brunette was staring out the window of the classroom wondering where the troublesome trio was with only a minute till class started. That's when she noticed two redheaded boys run across the courtyard with a girl with neon green hair and odd long braids flying behind her chasing them with a large book. "Oh." Haruhi said nonchalantly. "So that's where they are."
"Aizawa."
"Here."
"Asari."
"Here."
"Daishi."
"Here."
"Enoki."
"Here."
"Ekiguchi."
"He ran out after homeroom!"
"Fujioka."
"Here."
"Funaki."
"Here."
"Hamamota."
"Present Sensei!"
"Hatakeda."
"Here."
"Hitachiins."
"Those two aren't here along with Ka-"
"Here!" Two identical voices said energetically as the classroom door burst open.
Hikaru and Kaoru stepped into the room with gigantic grins spread across their faces.
"Ah. Hitachiins. Since you are here where is Kane-"
"Kami." Another voice said from behind the two redheads.
The twins had a good reason to be grinning from ear to ear. Kami walked out from behind the two with a glare that looked like she could keep it on her face forever with ease. The neon haired teen was soaking wet.
Kami's green hair pulled up into pigtails was matted the hair into a large bunch of hair. A few clumps of hair had fallen loose from her hair bands and the yarn braids were sticking to her cheeks and neck. Her bright yellow t-shirt clung to her skin like a swimsuit and her orange skirt was hanging dangerously low on her hips, being dragged down by the weight of the water soaked into the material. The white stockings that had been pulled up past her skirt were now bunched up around the tops of her combat boots.
The wet teen stomped across the room to the back and then plopped down in her seat. She crossed her legs then folded her arms with her pissed face unmoved.
Hikaru and Kaoru followed her to their seats with smug grins. Haruhi looked at the two with a raised eyebrow, along with the rest of the class, but before the twins could say anything the teacher cut in.
"Thank you for joining us Hitachiins, Kane-"
"Kami." Said the teen from the back of the room.
The (English)(3) teacher glared at Kami and said, "Did you say something Kane-"
"Kami." She said again.
"Kane-"
"Kami."
"KANE-"
"Kami."
"-KO! I WILL NOT GO SO LOW AS TO CALL MY STUDENTS BY THEIR NICKNAMES!" The teacher yelled, loosing her patience. Every single time she held her class there was some disruption by that impudent girl. Her patience was growing thinner and thinner every class period to the point that any small interruption by that girl made her crack. "Now Kane-"
"Kami." The teen mumbled quietly to herself and only those around her heard the response.
"-ko. Why are you soaking wet and late along with the Hitachiins?"
"They slept in then had the nerve to give me a hard time about my height so I attempted to kill them."
The tension in the room evaporated from that single idiotic yet simple comment.
"But then they tripped me when I swung my book down and I fell into the fountain." She shifted her glare from the teacher to the back of Hikaru and Kaoru's heads.
The two froze at the intensity of her glare and dared not look behind their shoulders. They were going to have a rough rest of the week.
"Well then Kane-"
"Kami."
"-ko why won't you change out of that ragged wet outfit and wear actual clothing."
"That's mighty fine. I would rather stay in my wet clothes. Go on and continue your little lesson. I'll just be glaring at two certain people." She stressed the word people and somehow her glare gained intensity, which many would think would be impossible.
The twins shivered and looked ahead at the front of the classroom, they were so dead. When they were walking back to the classroom Kami hadn't been so mad. It was thanks to that pissy English teacher Kami's temper had flared even more.
The teacher turned a bright tomato red out of frustration then started calling roll again, skipping Kami's name when she reached it on the list.
--
"Oi," Kasanoda slid open the classroom door to class 1-A. "Is Kami here?"
A group of guys, two of which the redhead recognized from the gossip circle, looked up to stare at the yanki.
"You just missed her Kasanoda-san." One of the boys said pointing out the door. "She went to the cafeteria with Haruhi and the twins."
Kasanoda stared at the group with his eyebrows slightly raised with quizzical look on his face, or so he hoped who knew what people saw in his looks. "She never eats in the cafeteria. Something about damn rich food." He muttered the last bit to himself then asked the group, "Did something happen?"
Grins spread across their faces and another said, "The twins tripped Kami into the fountain."
"Ah. That makes since." Kasanoda said thoughtfully as he turned around to walk out of the classroom. "The only reason she would go into the cafeteria is to do something to the twins." He muttered to himself as he headed down the hall.
The guys sitting in the class heard what Kasanoda had said and were staring at each other. The thought hadn't occurred to them that Kami would be doing everything she could at any moment she could to attempt to kill the twins. That was something they needed to see. The group jumped up and ran after Kasanoda towards the cafeteria.
--
"Lunch Set A." Hikaru and Kaoru said simultaneously.
The lunch lady nodded and handed the two their lunch. She glanced behind them then shuddered and turned to the next student in line.
The twins sighed and walked over to an empty lunch table, a damp glaring girl dragging a brunette trailing right behind them.
Hikaru and Kaoru sat down, but the second they did Kami sat down between them. Haruhi sat down with a sigh on the other side of the table. Whenever she was dragged to the cafeteria things would be crazy.
"Kami can you leave us alone?" Hikaru asked with a sigh as he picked up his fork.
"Your glare is close to being as scary as Bossa Nova's." Kaoru said with a matching sigh.
"Well if you weren't such pricks I wouldn't be glaring." Kami muttered darkly.
"You have such a foul mouth," Hikaru paused for a second and set his fork as a large grin spread across his face. "Kami-Berry."
Kami seemed to freeze over at the unwanted nickname Tamaki had given her and Kaoru tried to keep back his laughter so she wouldn't kill him.
"Oh yes Kami-Berry, you do." Kaoru said with a slight snicker.
Hikaru laughed as Kami started twitching and stabbed some of his food (use your imagination for food) with the fork and brought it up to his mouth, but it didn't reach it's destination.
A neon green head blocked Hikaru's vision and then when it disappeared his food wasn't on the fork anymore.
"Chomp(4)." Kami said as she chewed the food.
Hikaru frowned and picked up another piece, but again Kami ate it before he could.
Kaoru shook his head, feeling sorry for Hikaru, and picked up a piece of his food as well. He started to bring it up, but then it disappeared.
"Chomp," Kami said again.
The twins glared at her and both picked up a piece at the same time.
"Chomp. Chomp." She said as both pieces disappeared into her mouth.
The twins started stabbing food faster and faster, but Kami got each piece every time. Soon the twin's whole meal was gone.
"Arg!" They yelled as the picked up the empty trays and smacked the top of Kami's head. The stood up and walked back into the lunch line to get another meal, hopefully something Kami didn't like.
The two came back with a fancy looking chicken meal and sat down with a huff. Kami wasn't going to eat their food this time.
As they started to eat the process started all over again until, yet again, everything was gone and Kami had a large shining grin spread across her face.
Her content smile only made the twins even madder. They stood up abruptly and stomped off to the lunch line again, but now there wasn't much of a line.
This time they can back with an Italian meal and sat down with matching glares.
They stabbed the cuisine madly and started to shove it into their mouths, but once again the 'Chomp' process started again.
The process of the twins getting more food and Kami eating it continued for a while and soon the whole cafeteria notice what was going on. Everyone was watching the trio with interest and among the people observing was Kasanoda. He really did not want to get into the mess so he decided to talk to Kami the second it was over.
After not to long the twins had gone through practically the whole menu. As they walked up to get more food a plan hit Kaoru.
"Hikaru, we've been blinded by our anger." He whispered to his twin.
"What do you mean Kaoru?" Hikaru asked curiously.
"What is one type of food that we love and most people can't even touch the tips of their tongues to?"
A grin spread across Hikaru's face as they walked up to the lunchlady and then said to his twin, "Oh revenge is sweet."
They ordered yet another meal and then sat down on either side of Kami. Stabbing the biggest piece of food they could they started to bring it up to their mouths, but slowly so it would be assured that Kami would most definitely eat it.
"Chomp. Chomp." Kami said as she chomped down on the two large pieces of food. She paused then swallowed with her eyes bulging and bright red. "HOT!" She screeched at the top of her lungs. She grabbed the twins' drinks and guzzled them down. The otaku pulled her tongue out of her mouth and started rubbing it like crazy with her free hand. "Blechk! My hand tastes disgusting." She yelled just as loud and then ran over to the nearest observer and stole their drink. "I HATE you two!" She yelled pointing at the twins who were eating happily. She grabbed another person's drink and guzzled that down as well. "Waah my tongues on fire!" She whined as she ran out of the cafeteria, jumping around as if that would make the spiciness go away. "I will get revenge!" Was heard distantly along with the sounds of her combat boots clunking against the ground.
"You guys are so loud." Haruhi muttered as she folded her cloth around her empty lunch box and calmed walked out of the cafeteria to the classroom.
The twins were grinning from ear to ear as they ate their food and were so happy they didn't notice the small group of guys surrounding them.
"Are you guys always like that?" A guy asked from next to the twins.
Hikaru and Kaoru looked up from their food and shrugged. "We get on each others nerves and the revenge never ends."
"We knew you guys played pranks on each other, but we've never seen you guys that crazy." Another guy said as he sat down at the lunch table.
"It must be even crazier at home. What do you guys do to piss her off so much?"
"Yeah. She's real nice and cute around everybody else."
"Well she's still cute when fighting with the twins. How many girls will you see trying to rub off the spiciness off their tongue then yelling, 'My tongue tastes digusting!' and then runs around stealing people's drinks?"
The group muttered in agreement with nods.
Hikaru and Kaoru rolled their eyes and said, "You guys have messed up minds. Kami is a brat. There's nothing cute about brats. Heck when we went on the ski trip for the Host Club she dyed our hair auburn and then in the morning when we first saw it we were banging on her door like crazy. She came out in her pjs and had huge bags around her eyes and her hair was like a giant fuzzball on her head."
"Everyone has bedheads when they first wake up." One guy said with a shrug.
"What else goes on behind the scenes?" Another asked.
The twins grinned and started telling stories about the 'horrible' Kami.
--
"ACHOO!" Kami sniffled and whipped her nose lazily. "Damn twins must be talking about me." She muttered as she stood up from her spot on the ground next to a wall. When she had run out of the cafeteria she had started running around the whole school trying to air her tongue out. Spicy foods and her didn't mix.
The bell for classes to start again rang and Kami stretched with a sigh, she could still taste a hint of spice. As she walked back to class she noticed the twins with a group of guys around them.
"And her room is a pigstock. We asked the maids about it and they said that she told them only to clean once every two months! That's disgusting!" The twins' voices said from the middle of the group.
"I knew some certain morons were talking shit about me." Kami said as she walked over to the twins. "You two are horrible! I can't stand spicy things! Heck the first time my friend dared me to actually try something spicy I couldn't taste anything for weeks! You owe me something as an apolo-"
"Kami!" A voice said interrupting the green haired teen.
Kasanoda ran over to the group breathing heavily. "I've been looking everywhere for you."
"Yo Ristu-nonlookalike."
"Oh, Hi Bossa Nova." The twins said with a small wave.
Kasanoda glared at the two then looked back to Kami. "This morning I was waiting for you to tell you that I had gardening club and couldn't hang out after school and there were these two really odd people waiting outside as well. It looked like they were in a cosplay costume that looked a lot like that uniform from that one vampire manga you shoved in my face. A bit after the first warning bell rang they came over to me and asked if I knew you. The silver haired guy was jumping all over the place and the blonde girl called him Zaire or something like that. They were also speaking in a lot of English. And the blonde told me not to tell you that she was asking about you, but I was thinking that you would probably appreciate the heads up that two loud people are gonna be waiting for you after school."
Kami was silent and she was just staring out at the distance, completely spaced out.
"Kami?" Kasanoda asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yo, Kami-Berry." The twins said waving their hands in front of Kami's face. "Isn't Zaire the name of your friend's brother?"
Kami blinked and then bopped the top of the twins' head. "System malfunction." She said robotically as she stiffly walked into the classroom and to her seat.
"Bossa Nova, what did you do to her?" Hikaru and Kaoru said with smug grins. "What is it that you said that causes that switch in the brat's head to flip off?"
"How should I know?" The redhead said with a glare to the twins, everything they did annoyed him for some reason.
The twins scampered off into the room pretending to be terrified and then waved to Kasanoda. "Thanks for switching that switch off 'Ritsu-nonlookalike'!" The two laughed and closed the classroom door as the next bell rang.
Kasanoda sighed and headed for his class.
--
"Why are you following us Kami?"
It was after class at Ouran and the twins were headed for the Host Club, accompanied by Haruhi and Kami. It was odd to see Kami with the trio after school since ever since she met Kasanoda she stayed far away from the 3rd music room. So of course the twins would be curious as to why she was coming with them even though Kasanoda couldn't hang out with her, there was such a thing called going home.
"The devil and her demon helper are outside waiting to ambush." The neon haired said looking ahead with a spaced out look in her eyes.
"Since when was the devil a woman?" The twins asked boredly.
"Ever since she was born." Kami muttered as she opened the door to the Host Club.
"My daughter!" A dramatic voice yelled as a tall blonde attached himself to Haruhi. Tamaki then noticed Kami and his face lit up. "Kami-Berry!"
"Yeah yeah." Kami muttered as she walked over to a window seat farthest away from the tables and couches where hosting went on.
Tamaki unlatched himself from Haruhi and skipped over to Kami. "What brings Kami-Berry to the Host Club today? You usually never show up!"
"I'm hiding from the devil." Kami muttered as she pulled her iPod out of her backpack. "I'm just hiding here so just pretend I'm invisible."
A frown spread across Tamaki's face, but he nodded nonetheless. "Will Kami-Berry hang out after club hours?"
Kami shrugged and pulled a pack of cards out of her bag. "Sure. I have candy so lets play poker."
"Poker?" Tamaki asked with an eyebrow raised then he smiled. "Oh! Poker!"
He translated into Japanese.
Kami nodded and shrugged again. "Didn't know what the word for it was." She paused for a second then grinned. "Didn't know you rich bastards even knew what poker was."
"Why Kami-Berry! Many rich people enjoy gambling! Of course we know what poker is!"
Ah. Well anyways, sounds good for you Drama-Llama-Tama?"
Tamaki grined from ear to ear and nodded excitedly. "Yes yes!" He ran off to hug Haruhi and yelled in her ear. "Haruhi! Haruhi! We're going to play poker with Kami-Berry after club!" Then he ran over to Kyoya and yelled the same thing.
"Poker, huh?" The twins said with identical smirks across their faces. "We gonna bet real money Kami?"
"Of course not. I have candy. Candy is the only betting material I use for poker cause it's yummy to eat when I win."
"What makes you think you're going to win?"
"We are champions at playing card games."
"Then that must make me the super champ."
"You cheat don't you?"
Kami grinned and flipped through her pile of cards. "That's a mighty fine question."
Hikaru and Kaoru rolled there eyes and walked away from the neon haired teen. "We're gonna pummel her." They said to each other with smug grins.
"Kami-chan! What are you doing here?!" Hunny exclaimed as he walked into the room with Mori.
"I'm hiding from the devil." Kami said with a smile to the cutsie boy.
Hunny brought a hand up to his open mouth and his eyes grew wide. "Kami-chan did you make the devil mad at you?"
"Oh I didn't piss the devil off." She said with a laugh. "Really the biggest reason I'm hiding is because of the devil's demon that is tagging along behind her." Kami shivered. "Scary thoughts. Anyways we're gonna play poker after club hours. Candy is the stuff for betting."
"Oh! Candy! Fun!" Hunny skipped over to a couch and flopped down onto it as customers started to file in.
Kami smiled and shook her head as she shuffled her deck of cards listening to her music. Poker with the Host Club would be interesting and maybe she could escape from Coco and Zaire finding her, maybe.
--
"Okay listen up. I want a nice long game so I can stay here as long as possible-"
"Kami-Berry wants to hang out with Daddy!"
"No I don't. I just want to waste time here in hopes that the devil will give up and go home." Kami sighed and muttered quietly to herself, "When hell freezes over."
"Waaah! Mom! Our daughter is so cruel! She's just using Daddy!"
"Milord you shouldn't be so surprised. It's Kami after all. She redefines devil."
"Oh shut up you two like you have the right to talk." Kami whacked Hikaru and Kaoru's heads with a box of candy then continued talking. "I have many types of candies, but I'm not using all of them because then the game would be to long so I'm using just enough to last us a while. The candies with the highest amount the Runts bananas, four Gobstopers are worth one banana, three M&Ms are worth one Gobstoper, and two Lemon Heads aka Yellow Balls are worth one M&Ms. So then we each get two bananas, eight Gobstopers, twenty-four M&Ms, and forty-eight Lemon Heads."
"Isn't that a bit to much candy Kami?" Haruhi asked curiously.
Kami smirked as she split the candy among the group. "Are you kidding me? It's barely enough, but since we have quiet a few people it'll work a bit." After she had all the candy distributed evenly she shuffled her deck of cards quickly then dealt out five cards per person. Usually before I deal you put in a Lemon Head, but just for this round put it in now even though I already dealt." She waited as everyone placed the candy onto the plate in the center of the table then continued. "Now look at your cards and you can exchange at the most three cards, but if you have an Ace you can exchange four. I'm just assuming you all know the different hands you can have so I'm not going over that. I'm just going over the way I play my poker cause sometimes people know different ways to play and get confused when we start playing" She laughed and then handed out the new cards for those in the group. "And now we play." Kami smiled and then pointed at Hikaru and Kaoru who were on her right and playing together. "You start the bids."
"Banana." They said simultaneously then added, "You're going down Kami-Berry."

"Coco! Where's Kaaaaaaaamiiiiiiii?"
"That's the millionth time you asked me that you frickkn' idiot!" A tall blonde grabbed an even taller silver haired boy's head into a headlock. "You're constant whining is getting on my nerves!"
"Waaaaah! Coco! You're so mean!" The boy yelled as he tried to pull away.
"And you're pathetic! Obviously Noodle told her so she's hiding!"
The silver haired boy stopped squirming then laughed sheepishly. "Oh that makes sense."
"Of course it does and unfortunately we have no idea as to where she is hiding. So it's time to bring out the bishie radar!"
"Why the bishie radar? Why not the Kami radar?"
"Well dur, obviously because she will be hiding where all of the bishies in that Host Club she talks about are so that means there will be tons of bishies around her meaning that the bishie radar would be more powerful!"
The boy clapped excitedly and exclaimed, "Coco! You're so smart!"
The blonde rolled her eyes and pinched his nose before letting go of his head. "Why of course I am." She laughed then walked into the campus of Ouran. "Beeeep." She said the second she took a step into the school. "This way." She said pointing at one of the buildings. "Come on Zaire."
"Coming!" The boy yelled in a singsong voice as he skipped after his sister.

"Royal Flush. I got the jackpot." Kami said with a smug grin as she turned her cards over.
"You cheated!" The twins yelled as they banged their fists onto the table.
Kami stood up and quickly pulled the pile of candy to her with her tongue sticking out at them. "Prove it."
"Kyoya!" Hikaru and Kaoru yelled. They pointed at the teen with glasses with stern looks. "You observe everything! Didn't Kami cheat?"
Kyoya looked up from his notebook and pushed his glasses. "Firstly cheating is a tricky and hard way to win, but a useful trick if you know how to cheat well. Secondly I'm not playing anymore so what I say doesn't matter."
The group had been playing for quiet awhile and currently only Kami, Hikaru, Kaoru, Haruhi, Mori, and Hunny were still in. Haruhi and Hunny were barely in the game anymore with only a couple M&Ms and Lemon Heads. Kami was in the lead with almost everyone's bananas and an overwhelming amount of the other candies. Tamaki had fallen out quickly, betting everything he had on what he thought were good hands, but were in fact horrible. The only reason Kyoya was out was because he got bored of playing.
"You're evil." The twins muttered as they picked up the cards Kami had just dealt out.
The rest of the group picked their cards up as well and then placed down the ones they wanted to exchange.
"Hikaru, Kaoru, how many do you want?"
The twins opened their mouths to respond when a loud sound came out from behind the door. "Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"(5)
The Host Club looked up and stared at the door. "What's that?" Haruhi asked.
The beeping continued and then the door burst open and the beeping started going faster and faster. "BISHIES DETECTED!" A blonde girl standing in the doorway yelled. "Switching to Kami Detector!" Then the beeping continued just as fast.
The twins raised and eyebrow and looked down at the seat beside them that was now empty. "Eeeh eh? Where'd the brat go?"
"Oh it's Hikaru and Kaoru the hottie twins Kami is living with!" The blonde said cheerfully hugging herself. "Oooh She wasn't kidding when she said I would enjoy the Host Club hotties!"
Hikaru and Kaoru stared at the blonde then stood up abruptly and pointed at her with their jaws wide open. "You're that Coco girl! You're speaking Japanese!"
Coco laughed and rolled her eyes. "Kami-Kami said something about you guys keeping track of pranks you pulled so she told me to only speak English. Anyways where is Kami-Kami?"
"WHERE IS MY KAMI-CAKES?!" A loud energetic voice yelled as a tall silver haired boy ran into the room.
"Kami's a cake?" Hunny asked with wide eyes.
"Nah she's more like a cupcake cause she so small." The twins said in reply with nonchalant shrugs. Barely seconds after they said that the two jumped into the air clutching their feet. "KAMI!" They yelled.
"I'm not small!" The green haired teen yelled as she jumped out from under the table ready to attack the two again, but she didn't have a chance to.
The second Kami had jumped out from under the table the two that had just entered the room ran over to the otaku and pulled her into a giant hug. "KAMI!" They both yelled happily.
Coco looked up at the silver haired boy then pushed him away, as well as down onto the ground, and hugged Kami by herself. "Kami is mine you big crybaby." She looked down at Kami with a giant smile. Coco then hugged her even tighter and started spinning in a circle. "Kami! Kami! Kami! Kami! It's been one whole month since I've seen my Kami! Waaah! Coco has missed Kami!"
Hikaru and Kaoru stared at the two with raised eyebrows. The Coco on the webcam chats didn't seem so… Tamaki like. "Don't you two talk everyday on the computer?"
"That's not the same!" Coco snapped at the two. She glared at them with evil eyes then continued hugging Kami.
"Hikaru! Kaoru! Who is this beautiful young lady and her companion?" Tamaki asked as he walked over to the boy and held out a hand to help him up.
The silver haired boy stood up with a smile then pounced onto the two girls. "Kami-Cakes! Kami-Cakes! Coco isn't the only one that's missed you! I've missed you too and I really haven't seen you in forever!"
Coco rolled her eyes and then squirmed out from between the two, she would be nice and let her brother hug her best friend for a bit. "I'm Kami's best friend, Coco, and that's my idiotic brother Zaire, but really he doesn't deserve a name his intelligence is so low. Now may I have introductions to this beautiful club? Kyaa." She held her face in her hands and started squirming happily. "So many pretty boys in one place. It's like heaven only better because I'm not dead. So who's who?"
Tamaki placed his hand on his forehead and then shook his head slightly with a disappointed look on his face. "Something must be wrong with me and American maidens! I always forget to introduce us! What is your type fair princess? Wild Man? Loli-Shota? Natural? Lil Devil? Cool? Or is my Kingly style more your type?"
"Didn't he say prince to me?" Kami muttered to herself.
"Did you say something Kami-Cakes?" Zaire asked, looking down at the short teen in his hug of doom.
"No, you're just going crazy again Zaire."
"I am?! Noo!"
Coco stared at the Host Club and a large grin spread across her face. She pointed at Tamaki and said, "Komui from D.Gray-Man." Then pointed at Hunny, "Momiji from Furuba." Then pointed at Mori, "Short haired Haji from Blood Plus." Then to the twins, "Axel from Kingdom Hearts 2 and Reno from Final Fantasy 7." Then she pointed at Kyoya, "Ichijo from Uki Doki Memorial."
Now any of the other anime comparisons wouldn't shock the Host Club after hanging out with Kami for a whole month, but the very last comparison to Kyoya was a huge shock, they thought that only Renge even knew what that game was!
The twins sighed and looked at each other with exasperated looks. "Should we have really been expecting less from a friend of Kami's?"
Then the room started to shake and a loud laugh sounded from all over. "OH HO HO HO HO! OH HO HO HO HO! OH HO HO HO HO!"
Zaire jumped into the air and squeezed Kami even tighter to her displeasure. Coco also jumped up and joined Zaire in the suffocation of Kami.
The Host Club all sighed and shook their heads. It would make sense that she would show up at any mentioning of Uki Doki Memorial.
End of Chapter Seven
(1) Vampire Knight: Yes the two are cosplaying as Zero and Yuki from Vampire Knight
(2) Kami and her being called a rut obsession: It's never really come up into conversations before about her height so the twins have never learned about her height complex.
(3) English Teach: Yeah she is second period. The twins and Kami missed 1s period. Tsk tsk tsk.
(4) Chomp: Even in simple pranks otakuness always shows. In Azumanga Daioh there is an evil cat that always bites one of the girl's hands. Whenever he does (in the manga) the word chomp shows up. I like to call him the chomping cat.
(5) Bishie Detecting: Do not attempt at home. It does not work.
Jem: My goal is to get Nekozawa introduced to Kami soon. I love Nekozawa. If the twins didn't exist he would totally be my favorite. Also my little Kami-Cakes is so keyoot! I gotta get a link up so you readers can see my little Kami-Cakes. KAWAII! Aaaanywaays….

And I actually heard Jack Sparrow speaking Japanese! They actually dubbed it! He didn't sound that bad, but Johnny Dept is the only one suited for Jack.)
