Diclaimer: I do not own Ouran..
The Devils meet their Angels Chapter 9
'Should I knock or not?' This was the question that had been haunting Maya for the past ten minutes. It was just six in the morning and she wanted to know how her twins were. The other night, after the Hitachiins had left, they just silently went to their room giving off dark auras. They didn't even bother eating dinner. And Maya was getting worried or rather guilty.
She paced back and forth, deciding on what to do. If she knock on the door, they might be mad at her still but she don't they'd also be mad. This is one thing that she hated the most about her twins, they were unexpected.
After another ten minutes, Maya finally decided on knocking. Her fist was only inches away when someone called her name.
"Maya?" It was Tiffany. She was holding some books. It was evident that she came from the library.
Maya stood there, frozen. She did not know what do to. When she finally had the courage to talk to her twins, someone came up to her and crushed all those courage she worked hard to collect.
"What are you doing?" Tiffany asked in Japanese, though still a bit slow. She had been there for a week already. And being the smart person she was, it wasn't hard for her to be able to learn Japanese so quickly.
"Uh.. I was just…" Maya stammered, blushing furiously.
Tiffany eyed the doors beside Maya. It was the twins' room if she wasn't mistaken. Maybe Maya wanted to apologize to them.
She smiled warmly. "Good luck with that."
And with that, she left. Maya was confused but it was not the problem now. It was getting the twins take the next step of the plan. This was going to be harder than she thought.
Meanwhile at the Hitachiin mansion, Hikaru and Kaoru were still trying to comprehend the news that they got the other night. At first they thought it was just a dream so they did not react so much. However, when their mother repeated it to them, they woke up and found out that this was certainly not a dream nor was it a nightmare. They were bound to get married to the Sugimoto twins!
They jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. Their mom said that she would fly to Los Angeles and would be back next month. If they don't make this clear to her now, they might not have the chance to back out from the engagement. As they ran, they saw one of their maids.
"Where is she?" they asked, panting.
"She already left."
"WHAT?"
Before host club…
"Where are they?" Tamaki paced back and forth, waiting impatiently for the twins and Haruhi. Host club would be starting in a few minutes and they still hadn't arrived. Haruhi had always been late at the first few weeks but after that, she always came early. And the Hitachiin twins. They were always on time. They had never been late before. And it was starting to give Tamaki crazy ideas that they were in trouble or something.
"Tamaki," Kyouya said trying to catch the blonde's attention. "We should prepare already."
"But Kyouya," Tamaki said, miserably. It was almost like a kid who wanted a piece of candy from his mother.
"We could not make the ladies wait," Kyouya explained.
Tamaki took one last look at the huge doors and waited for one good minute. But, there was none. He sighed and positioned himself in the middle of the group.
They waited for one minute. Two. Three. Four. And finally, there was a click on the doors.
"Welcome.." their voices chimed, as the door opened slowly. Tamaki was about to woo the girl when he realized that it was not a customer but Haruhi. So, instead of showing the gentle Tamaki, he showed the idiotic father. He glomped the girl making her turn blue.
"You're late," Kyouya remarked, holding his black notebook which magically came out of nowhere. "Your debt is increased."
Tamaki finally decided to release his daughter but a question still remain in his head.
"Where are the twins?" he asked.
Haruhi shrugged. "Didn't they go here? They left earlier than me."
Kyouya raised an eyebrow. "They haven't showed up since classes end. Are you telling us that they are skipping club duties?"
Haruhi shook her head. "No, but they seemed out of character this morning."
"What do you mean, Haru-chan?" Hunny asked, looking extremely worried.
Haruhi propped her chin and tried to recall how they acted this morning. "Well, usually, every morning, they would always go and annoy me but it was different this morning. They were just quiet the whole day. They would just talk someone asks them a question but it would not really last long."
"What about the Sugimoto twins?" Kyouya asked suddenly. "How are they this morning?"
"Actually, they did not come to school. When I asked their friend what happened, they said the twins were in state of depression."
"Why?"
Haruhi shrugged. "They wouldn't tell me why."
Right now, the boys were confused about the strange behavior of the sets of twins. It couldn't have been just a coincidence. It must have been something that both twins would be so affected but what was it was something they should find out.
"Kyouya, cancel the host club activities for the day. We shall pay the Sugimoto twins a visit."
"No," Zurich answered bluntly.
In front of him were the hosts. Tamaki had asked him if they could come in but he refused. The Sugimoto twins were in serious state of depression and he wasn't sure of it would help the Sugimoto twins anyway. From what he heard, the host club is a group of handsome men with plenty of time in their hands entertaining ladies. And he doubted that the twins would need any services from them.
"Please…" Tamaki pleaded, giving him his puppy dog eyes.
Zurich looked at his violet eyes. It was familiar. It took him a moment or two to finally realize that it was same eyes that the Sugimoto twins used when they wanted something from him. They had used that a lot of times and he wouldn't fall for this idiot's trap.
However, it did not stop Tamaki from doing. Little by little, Zurich was feeling more uncomfortable. And he knew exactly what that feeling was. It was guilt.
He sighed. "Fine, but I don't promise you that the twins would be the twins you first met." As soon as he said that, he opened the door wider, letting the boys (and one girl) in.
The hosts were amazed at how elegant the mansion was. It was elegant on the outside too.
"Just to stop you wondering, I think this was one of the twins' designs," Zurich explained. He heard silent gasps from behind.
"Don't they design clothes?" Tamaki asked.
"No, they model not design. But that was ages ago. They already quitted."
"Why?" Kyouya asked.
"That is none of your business," Zurich answered coldly, almost sending cold glares at them.
He finally stopped walking and stood in front of two purplish doors.
"I'll leave you from there…" he said then left.
Silently, the hosts decided on who should open the door. And the result was Tamaki. Tamaki slowly placed his hand over the golden handles. He gulped before finally opening the doors..
And done! This chapter was shorter than the others but it was my fastest update right? However, this was nothing like the one in my draft. This was done on the spot so if there are mistakes, feel free to tell me. Actually, it was meant to be updated next week, but why wait for next week when I can do it today?
So, thanks to Kuramasredredrose, Aurora-16, i-heart-kaoru and WildTiger777 for reviewing… I noticed I'm getting more hits and less reviews.
Comments, suggestions, and reactions are pretty much appreciated. Reviewing could get you closer to the next chapter!
Just a little chapter poll, should I continue with this shorter chapters that updates weekly or the longer ones that updates after two weeks?
Ok, don't forget to review!(I think I said this twice?)
