I'm sorry I haven't updated in three months. I'm updating another story today as well.
Disclaimer: I own the plot, Hope and that's it.
Chapter 4~Randomly yelling at Tamaki
Hope came down a little bit later wearing a red and white komodo. The twins had disappeared after taking everyone to their respective rooms. They now appear wearing samurai clothing.
They bowed to her, "We are ready to take you to the Boss." Hope sighed hopelessly. (Haha! Get it? Never mind…)
"I'm as ready as a sane person can be when going to see Tamaki." They lead her to the limbo and caught her if she stumbled.
Within a few minutes, they were looking at Ouran Academy's High School section.
They walked themselves to the door of the third music room and walked in.
"YOU'RE LATE!" Tamaki roared.
The twins gave their famous shrug while Hope put her hands on her hips.
"Do you KNOW how long it takes to PUT a komodo PROPERLY ON?" Hope asked mercilessly.
"Um…yes…well…no." Tamaki stuttered.
"Thought so." Hope spat back.
"You're in a mood today." Kyoya commented, "It might lower your customer rate."
"Or the other way around. For cying out loud! The pretty girl was an ACT!" Hope looked exasperated. Mori walked up to her, he looked up and down Hope. Suddenly he nodded.
"Better now." Mori said in his deep voice. Honey jumped up on shoulders with Usa-chan.
"Takashi approves of your new attitude! I'm okay with it too!" Honey jumped off and clutched her leg. Hope ruffled his blonde hair affectionately.
"Thanks." Was all she said to express her gratitude.
"Hey! You're not in costume yet!" Kaoru told the others.
"I am." Haruhi stated blandly.
"So we see." The twins and Hope mused together. While the others changed, the class quartet got together and talked.
"I'm so glad that I don't have to use my outside nature anymore." Hope sighed gratefully.
"Must be nice, not to lie." Haruhi commented. Hope looked her in the eye.
"You have NO idea." The twins hugged Hope on either sides.
"She is worse than us when it comes to mischief." Haruhi shivered. Worse than them? I can't stand them as they are. Wait, Hikaru said something.
"Say again?" Haruhi asked.
Hikaru sighed, annoyed. Hope stifled a laugh.
"I said, 'We met Hope by accident.'" Haruhi looked eager to hear the story.
"Have I told you this story?" Haruhi shook her head. Hikaru smiled.
"It began at a day camp…"
(*FLASHBACK*)
The twins were looking around the camp with mild interest. Their guide pointed and talked constantly, they paid no heed. Hikaru and Kaoru were six.
They saw movement in the huge hill on their left.
They looked up and saw a young girl around five years old standing up there. She had pitch-black hair. She somehow looked…different…from the others. The girl suddenly looked down at them.
Her eyes were violet and sparkled with mischief greater than theirs. Hikaru and Kaoru realized they were out of their league.
The girl suddenly disappeared.
A simple piece of paper drifted down to them.
On the sheet of paper was an emblem. A dagger, point up, surrounded by briar thorns. On the blade was a wolf howling and on the hilt was a rose.
Tricksters had signs. The lower tricksters, which make up the majority of tricksters, have really simple emblems.
Higher tricksters, such as; naturals, masters and thieves, have more complicated emblems but are overall, still basic.
The top of the chain is the Dawn Stars. They are virtually unheard of. They have the privilege of holding the most complicated emblem of all.
You have a higher chance of winning the lottery then meeting a Dawn Star.
Emblems are used to identify yourself, hold territory, and warn others off your lands.
Hikaru and Kaoru are higher tricksters and share the same emblem.
The emblem on the paper the girl dropped belonged to a Dawn Star trickster.
The girl was warning them off her territory. The twins, knowing their lives depended on it, folded the paper very gently and put it into their backpack. (A/N: To show disrespect by shredding the paper or dropping it results in you dying.)
Hikaru and Kaoru heard neither peep nor rustle from the girl the rest of the week. The boys came back to camp the next year.
The girl came down the hill to face them head on.
"Who are you and why did you come back?" She asked, her beautiful angel voice demanding. The twins said their names the said in sync;
"This is a day camp you know."
"Day camp or not, this is my territory!" She snarled.
"What's your name?" They asked her.
"Hope of the Dawn Star." She replied easily.
"Hope of the Dawn Star, huh? Don't you have a last name?" The twins asked in sync.
Hope looked shocked and scared. She turned and fled. Hikaru and Kaoru let her.
~Month later~
"Masters? You have a guest." Uzara, their maid, came into their room.
"Send them away." Hikaru replied, annoyed at being interrupted while doing homework.
"The girl thought you might say that. I have a message, 'Yo, dumbrains, have you forgotten your superior? By the way, it's Sohma. Hope Sohma. Now let me in.' That was her message. Well?"
They thought for a minute.
"Let her in please." Kaoru answered.
Uzura smiled. "Right away sir." Hope walked in, hands on her hips and smirking. She smirk faded and her hands fell limply to her sides.
"I lost them." She muttered.
"Lost who?" Hikaru asked, curious.
"Everyone!" Hope suddenly wailed out. She dropped to her knees, hands covering her eyes. "Mama, Papa, sissy, brother, Grandma and Grandpa too! Everyone left me…why me? Akito…"
The twins felt her helplessness.
"Help me…" The girl cried.
It's 1:02 in the morning and I promised myself I wouldn't sleep till I had this chapter ready to upload for today.
Goodnight.
