Samurai Storyline

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Ouran High School Host Club or any of its characters.

So sorry this took so long. I know, I'm lazy. Well here it is.

Chapter 7

"Ran-chan, you're going to school whether you like it or not." Ame stood with his hands on his hips, a frown set on his face. His master had missed two days of school and he was going to make sure that today wouldn't be the third.

"No." Ranzen said from under the sheets.

"If you don't get up I'm going to invite your friends over this weekend."

"You wouldn't." an emerald eye glared at him.

An evil grin spread across the butler's face. "I bet they'd be shocked at how many stuffed kittens you hide in your-"

Ranzen practically flew out of bed in an attempt to tackle the older man, but ended up on the floor bound in his sheets instead.

"Now, now. You better be downstairs in three minutes or I'm sending invitations by e-mail!"

"Why are you bent on making me miserable?" Ranzen muttered as he trudged to the bathroom.

--------------------------------------

-Ouran-

"Shouldn't someone say something?" Tamaki whispered. All but the redhead was sitting at the table with him. Said redhead had been brooding since morning and now sat across the room seemingly oblivious to them. They could only guess what was wrong and it all revolved around the physical exam.

"Tamaki, you should be the one to do something." Hikaru pointed at him.

"W-why me?"

"Because you've known him the longest."

"And that's why I haven't done anything. You wouldn't understand. Not many go up to Ran when he's like this."

"Why not?" Kaoru's question pulled everyone in as if they could sense a secret behind Tamaki's words.

A bead of sweat trailed down Tamaki's brow. "Because-because if you do...he'll just ignore you!"

Everyone sweatdropped. "That's it?" Haruhi asked.

"Ran doesn't see or hear anything when he's in a bad mood so people don't even bother." Tamaki concluded.

"What now?" Hunny pouted.

Mori stood abruptly, walked over to Ranzen, pulled the boy out of his seat and threw him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Everyone watched in question as he left the room.

-------------------------------------------

Mori shook Ranzen until he was certain that his attention was on him.

"What's this about senpai?" Ranzen asked holding his head, hoping that the room would stop spinning.

"I'm sorry."

"Huh?"

Mori grabbed him by the soulders and looked him in the eye. "It's my fault isn't it?"

Ranzen raised a brow. 'What is he talking about?'

"I've been too forward with you and because of that you have every right to be upset. I know you missed school because you didn't want to put up with me and I just want to tell you that from this day on, I won't burden you with my feelings."

Ranzen slapped Mori's hands off of him and turned around, leaning against the wall. "Senpai-ha, you-hahaha-" Mori could feel his heart tightening as the younger boy began to laugh. How stupid could he have been? Everything was clear now. It was all a joke.

"I never took you seriously." Ranzen said quickly composing himself. "Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh but...I see you really mean it. Mori, it's not you I'm angry at nor do I dislike you."

Mori took a sigh of relief.

"I thought you were an otaku or something." he said more to himself than anyone in particular.

Mori blushed as Ranzen's eyes scanned his body. "Tall and aggressive, just my type. What do you say, Mori?"

Mori thought for a moment. 'Is he saying what I think he's saying?'

As if reading his mind, Ranzen added "You and me, a couple? Not really official until we go out on a date or something but-." Mori's hand tilting his head up silenced him. "I think I could get used to this." Ranzen stated before letting Mori kiss him.

---------------------------------------------

"Not a bad day at all." Ranzen said to himself. The day had ended very nicely indeed. As he turned the corner in the hall, the sight of a familiar yet unwelcomed face turned his smile into a scowl.

"Rukihara-chan." The tall boy with dark eyes and his raven hair streaked red bowed.

"Asa-kun, long time no see."

"It's nice to see you again." he said daring a glance at Ranzen.

"I wish I could say the same." Ranzen looked around cautiously.

"My master has not yet arrived. He will be here at the beginning of the new week."

Ranzen sighed, whether out of relief or dread, even he didn't know. 'Whyyyyy?'

"In the mean time, this is for you." He handed him a pink envelope.

"Oh, he shouldn't have...Is there anything from you in here?"

"No."

"Oh." Ranzen ripped the envelope in half and then into fourths and stuffed the shredded pieces into his pocket. "Anything else?"

"No, umm, Rukihara-chan, shall I walk you to the exit?"

"As long as it's you, Asa-kun."

-------------------------------------------

-Rukihara Estate-

"So he sent Asa-chan ahead of him?" Ame asked.

"Yep. I have a feeling that things are gonna get crazy from here on out."

"Yeah...You should invite him over for lunch."

"Asa-kun?"

Ame nodded. "Friday. Dinner time. Both of you. Be there. It'll be nice to catch up."

"I don't want to-"

"Ask him to take you shopping."

A blush dominated Ranzen's cheeks.

"I know how you've always admired his...fashion, if that's what you want to call it." Ame glanced back at his master with a knowing smirk. "We both know he wouldn't deny you of anything, he never has, has he? I bet he expects you to ask him."

"I-it's been too long." Ranzen tried to glare at Ame but failed. "Stop trying to seduce me!" he shouted before dashing out of the room.

Ame shook his head and smiled proudly. "Oh my little Ran-chan, you're still a girl at heart." he pulled out his cell phone.

"Ah! Mitsu-chan, I have more news for you."

------------------------------------------------

-Other Line-

Hunny's eyes widened. "So that's who he was...This Saturday? At what time?...Oh okay...I understand." He hung up the phone. 'Sorry Takashi but you two move too slow! A little competition should help, I hope.'

There was a knock at the door before it opened.

"Takashi! Are you ever gonna ask Ran on a date?"

Takashi froze. He had been confiding in Mitsukuni since Ranzen had started attending their school and now it seemed that the blonde had settled into the role of personal love advisor.

Takashi shook his head.

"You should after what happened today. He said you won't be an official couple until you go out on a date, so what are you waiting for? You should ask him to go out with you on Saturday, this Saturday."

"That's too soon."

Hunny pouted. "Takashi." he said quietly. "If you don't ask him, I'LL DO IT FOR YOU!!!" This was all Takashi needed to hear and Hunny knew it.

----------------------------------------------

"Hime, what should I do? Asa-kun today, Ryuzen and Mamoru on Monday. Maybe if I set the school on fire-" Hime blinked.

"You're right, we'd have to move again. Why am I talking to my kitten? Oh well, you're a better listener than most people. I'm too weird." He buried his face into his pillow. Hime meowed and poked Ranzen's head with her paw. Ranzen's head shot up.

"I almost forgot about the play, my last samurai storyline. Thanks for reminding me." He went over to the phone. "Let's see."

Asa-kun, Ryuzen and Mamoru, what will these characters bring? I hope you all like love triangles. Please review.
