Chapter 2~This is a club?
After the tour, (Which I will not bore you with…Other then Yuki and Kyo fought and stopped when Hope knelt on the ground, covering her ears.
"I'm sorry. I hate fighting. It makes me almost remember something I rather not." She would say after every fight.
Though she would laugh softly when Kagura 'showed her love' to Kyo.
They visited all the places they needed plus more.
Hope sighed, standing in front of a double door.
"That has to have been the most walking and talking I've done in my entire life." She gasped, bent over and her small, delicate hands on her knees.
She suddenly stood the rest of the way up and twirled around so she was facing them.
"Now. I know you may not like this, but I'm supposed to attend this club. So please put up with it. For me."
There were murmurs of agreement. Yuki and Kyo were refusing to look at her, Tohru on the other hand was looking straight at her. Kagura was looking at Kyo.
This girl is defiantly different from the other unlucky outsiders. I must keep an eye on her.
"One more thing. I'll be busy, but don't hesitate to ask me anything. I'll be everywhere in this room, and I mean EVERYWHERE. So if you can't find me, ask one of the other Hosts." With that, Hope turned and opened the door.
First thing they heard was this;
"HOPE! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Tamaki shouted at her, despite all the guests.
Hope started crying delicately. Kyo, ageist making anyone cry other then Shigure, Yuki or Ayame, yelled back at the blond boy.
"HEY! DON'T YA YELL AT MY COUSIN! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING YOU STUPID BLOND RICH KID!"
Hope sniffled and looked at Kyo in surprise.
"Kyo?" She said confused.
They heard a sigh. "Hope. Why are you this late?" Kyoya asked calmly.
Hope sniffled softly again before answering.
"Umm…Kyoya…I'm really sorry that I'm late. It's just-" She was cut off by Yuki.
"She had to escort as around the school." Yuki finished.
"Ya! So get off her case. Gheesh, what kind of club is this? Torture?" Kyo commented.
"Kyo!" Tohru and Hope said in union.
"Hey, Hope! Who are your friends?" Hikaru asked from his guest table.
Hope sighed and muttered before calling back. "Hikaru! If you want to meet my cousins and their friend then you need to come over here rather the shouting across the room like an idiot."
There was a laugh from the direction of Tamaki's Corner of Woe.
Hope turn to her small group.
"Thanks for standing up for me. Come this way." She lead them to some sofa's and told them to sit down. Kyo and Yuki sat down immediately. Tohru stayed standing, looking uncertain. Hope took that chance.
"Off limites! Ya hear me?" She said loudly, pointing at Tohru.
She turned to Tohru. "Sorry. Why don't you sit and I'll get us some tea?"
Tohru wide-eyed, "No! I could never except. This is way to fancy!"
"Tohru?"
"Yes?"
"Sit. Now. Please."
"Okay." Tohru sat.
"Thank you."
Hope turned away. "Haru? Haru!" She called, "Haaruuuuhiiii! I need some teeaaa!"
Haruhi came over to her and sighed. "Fine. You know, you sounded like Honey. Anyway, we need some music. Try playing 'The Fox Hymn'."
"Okay-dokie!" Hope replied and skipped off to get a flute.
~5 minutes later~
Hope showed up again, much to the Sohma groups relief.
Hope was holding something silver in her hand. She sat down. The twins, with violins, stood on either side of her. They all started playing a sad yet mysterious tune. Like one you'd hear people in Indian tribes play. Halfway through the tune, Hope stopped playing and started singing.
Come sisters, brothers too.
Come sing the old hymn.
For we hold the old Music and no one else can have that.
To you humans who hold the Music, come listen to our song.
We can laugh, but never cry.
Yet we are never happy at all.
We long to be free from this curse, this curse it holds strong.
We can run, but it doesn't matter.
We are eternally sad.
Envy us all you want, but we shall never care.
For you are stuck in humanity, but we are free to share.
I am part of the Music, but do you ever care?
I'm an outcast to my own race, but I am far from forgotten.
Come sisters, brothers too.
Come sing the old melody.
For we possess something dear to us, and humans can not have it.
Hope finished. It was a full minute before anyone moved that included the twins and Kyo, Yuki, Kagura and Tohru.
There was a round of applause. Hope walked over to the sofas.
"Soooo. Did you like it?" She asked.
"It was beautiful! Don't you think so too, Kyo?" Kagura glared daggers at Kyo.
"Yah! I mean, it was good. Really good." Kyo complemented after he shouted.
"I agree Miss…?" Yuki said after him.
"Hopelin. Call me Hope."
"Of course."
"It was wonderful! I loved the story it told." Tohru piped up. Everyone stopped what they were doing, (I imagine Kagura twisting Kyo's arm or some form of torture on him.), and looked at Tohru.
"I mean. I feel like the song is saying that they're sad, but they will never show it. Beautiful because it's sad." Tohru's eyes looked far away.
Hope was shocked, she had found the point of the song! She shook the shock off.
"So. Do you all know where you're staying?" She asked, to change the subject.
"Umm…No."
"No?"
"Ya, that what I said! No!"
"Okay! I'm sorry. I'll ask Hikaru and Kaoru If you can stay with us."
"…" All was silent as Hope left.
