The Devils meet their Angels – Chapter 12
It was morning. However, it wasn't any other ordinary morning for the Sugimoto twins. This day, they would witness the results of their hard work.
The sound of the alarm clock, placed a few inches away from the queen sized bed, awakened the two blond girls who were sleeping. Out of the two girls, only one was awakened completely. The other, on the other hand, went back to sleep.
Miyuki, the one who was awake, slipped out of bed and did some stretching. She went lazily to the bathroom and did her thing. After that, she fixed her hair and put on her clothes. Until now, she refused to wear the school uniform for two reasons: one, she wasn't used to it since she didn't have uniform in America and two, she didn't want to wear that yellow balloon dress.
Miyuki couldn't help but smile as the memory of yesterday's video flashed in her mind. The plan was working perfectly. It would not take long enough before their hell days were over. She might not even notice it for she was enjoying herself at the same time.
Miyuki's train of thoughts was suddenly cut off by a loud bang from the bathroom. It was Sayaka. She was already awake but prepared to be talked to. Only Miyuki could talk to her without receiving a death glare.
~o~
Infront of the 1-A classroom, a couple of students from different years and classes crowded the entrance.
"What's wrong with the crowd?" Miyuki wondered out loud.
"I dunno," Sayaka shrugged. She pondered for a moment before saying, "Maybe there are a couple of cute guys in there!" And with that, the girl ran off leaving Miyuki alone. However, it only took her a few minutes before she finally came back.
Miyuki sweat-dropped. "Why did you come back?"
Sayaka snorted. "There weren't any cute guys. It was only those twins being injured and all."
Silence followed. Miyuki looked at Sayaka expectantly. Her arms were crossed.
"Oh."
Miyuki's eye twitched. "Jeez, Sayaka…" She grabbed her twin's wrist and went towards the crowd.
Inside, they saw the results of their plan. Two injured, but not seriously, identical twin boys sat there, glaring at them.
For a moment, Miyuki and Sayaka stared at them. They were injured and mad just like how they wanted it. However, there was something in their look that made them feel a little guilty. And by little, I meant that very tiny spot in the deepest and darkest part of their hearts. However, since it was so little, it hardly made any difference.
A long awkward silence followed.
Hikaru broke the silence by rushing to the door and Kaoru following behind him. They said nothing to the twins but it was more than enough to tell them they weren't happy at all.
"I think you went too far this time," Zurich said, suddenly appearing from behind. The girls jumped in surprise.
"When did you get here?"
"A couple of minutes ago. Anyway, as I was saying, you went too far this time."
"It's not really much," Sayaka said. "And they were the ones who started everything, right Miyu?"
"I think Zurich is right," Miyuki said, surprising her twin.
"What're –"
"But," Miyuki said, interrupting her twin. "Whenever I see those yellow orbs, I feel anger raging inside me."
~o~
"Hikaru, wait up!" Kaoru yelled through the empty halls. He paced quickly after his twin. However, Hikaru did not stop. He just continued to run quickly.
Kaoru was finally able to catch up with him, only being a few inches from his twin. Then, Hikaru stopped, causing Kaoru to bump on him.
"Hey, what –" Hikaru shushed Kaoru before he could even continue. He looked over to where Hikaru was watching.
It was Margarette and Jinny who were talking to each other. Kaoru really didn't see the need to listen to their conversation but it was now clear to him.
"What do you think is happening to Miyu and Saya?" Jinny asked Margerette who was busy munching on her snack.
"It's not really a big thing," Margarette swallowed her food. "It's just a way to keep their promise to Maya that they'll be nice to the Hitachiin twins so she could take their pets home."
"Oh," Jinny understood. "Then, for how long is she gonna be away?"
"A week."
"So, when she's back, what would Miyu and Saya?"
"I dunno. I'm not Miyu or Saya."
"I was just asking."
"I was just answering."
"Then, what if she doesn't come back in a week?" It wasn't Jinny who asked that. It was Tiffany.
"Then, things would fall apart for Miyu and Saya."
"Don't you care about how they would feel?" Jinny asked.
"I do. But, Miyu and Saya's computations are just too accurate."
The girls continued conversing, completely failing to notice the presence of Hikaru and Kaoru or maybe just showing no interest in their presence.
Hikaru and Kaoru need not to hear more of this conversation. The information they had just heard was more than enough to turn the tables. Not wanting to miss any opportunity, Kaoru pulled out the cell phone from his pocket and contacted someone important.
"Hello mom? It's Kaoru. We have a favor to ask."
~o~
"Check," Miyuki smirked. It was already her fourth win and Sayaka, her opponent, hadn't had any wins.
"Why do you always win?" Sayaka pouted. She looked over to the pieces left in the board. It was the same pieces that were left around two games earlier. Miyuki was using same tactics and she didn't even notice.
She collected the pieces and placed them on their right positions. She insisted, "Let's have another round. This time, I'll win for sure."
Miyuki didn't have any choice but to agree. She did the same thing as Sayaka had done earlier with her pieces. When everything was settled, Sayaka suggested to have the first move. Rubbing her hands against each other, she planned her first move. Just as she was about to touch it, Margarette burst inside. Sayaka winced resulting in her loss of concentration.
"MIYU! SAYA! BAD NEWS!" she yelled. She ran towards the girls and ignored the boys who were questioning her presence.
"Is there a problem, Martel-san?" Kyouya asked.
Margarette shook her head. "It's personal."
When she turned her head to the twins, Miyuki was stopping Sayaka from attacking…her. Had she interrupted something?
"What are you doing?" Sayaka growled.
"Don't kill Marga!"
The two went on for about five minutes before Sayaka was finally convinced that killing someone for interrupting a game of chess wasn't reasonable at all.
Sayaka turned to Margarette. "What is it?"
Margarette didn't talk; instead, she showed them an e-mail that came from Maya. The twins read it.
"She what?" Sayaka yelled, causing all eyes to land on her.
"What is the problem?" Kyouya asked calmly but it was obvious that he was really saying, 'Shut the hell up or I'd kick you out!'
"N-Nothing," she smiled sheepishly.
"Are you sure?"
The three girls said, "Yes."
"Just be quiet," he said, but still not convinced.
The girls let out a sigh of relief before talking about the e-mail that Margarette had gotten from Maya.
Two pairs of golden cat eyes watched from the other side of the room. Both had smug looks on their faces. Soon, their plan take place and they would be getting the sweet taste of revenge.
~ In Los Angeles, a few minutes before Kaoru called~
"Hey, Maya."
Maya froze. She knew that voice very well. She looked up from the papers she needed to arrange. Before coming back to America, Maya took into account that she would go right down to business. No fooling around. Meaning, as much as possible, she would avoid Yuzuha Hitachiin.
"Oh, hey Yuzuha, what a coincidence!" Maya put on a fake smile. However, Yuzuha happened to be her best friend so whether she tell it or not, she would always know it was fake.
"Aren't you happy to see me?" Yuzuha asked, quite upset.
Maya shook her head. "Of course not, I was just busy so I have no time to relax." Wrong answer.
Her best friend, then, grinned at her. "Why don't you relax for a while?" she grabbed Maya's wrist and led her to her limo.
"But, I only have a week of stay here and –"
"Right, a week."
Just then, Yuzuha's phone buzzed in her pocket. She excused herself from Maya who seemed to be relieved.
"Hello, Hikaru? Oh, I'm so sorry Kaoru! A favor? Of course, anything you want! Extending Maya's visit for a month?"
~o~
"Where are Miyuki-chan and Sayaka-chan?" Tamaki asked the four Americans who were sitting around the round table where Miyuki and Sayaka usually stayed.
No one bothered to answer him so Margarette, looking up from her laptop, answered him, "They left."
"But why?"
Margarette was about to say that it was none of his business but Jinny was way meaner. She said, "That's because they didn't want to see you." Tiffany and Zurich weren't surprised with Jinny since she had always been mean towards the likes of Tamaki. However, both thought it was too harsh even for Tamaki's case.
As expected, the idiot went to his corner mumbling something about his daughters rebelling at an early stage. Haruhi saw what had happened. Normally, she would have ignored them and be happy that Tamaki's not trying to bother her but Kyouya had told her that she needed to have a good relationship with the four teens too, or else he'll increase her debt.
"Hi, is there anything that you want?"
The four foreigners looked at her. Zurich just shook his head. Tiffany smiled and thanked her. Jinny asked for juice. Margarette just looked at her as if she was someone trying to entertain them but failing to do it.
Tiffany noticed that Haruhi was being uncomfortable with Margarette's stare so she snapped her out to the real world.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I was just…thinking of something."
Haruhi smiled warmly at her. "It's okay. So...um, is there anything that you want?"
"Not at all. Thank you for asking though." And with that, the brunette left.
"What's with you, Marga?" Zurich asked the slightly bewildered girl.
Margarette would have told the truth but Zurich knew nothing about Haruhi's gender so she chose to lie. "Nothing." Then, she dragged Tiffany far away from the Nichols.
"What's with you, Marga?" Tiffany repeated Zurich's question from before but this time it had an irritated tone.
"You remember the thing about Fujioka?"
"Yeah, what about that?"
"You're curious of how she became a cross dresser, right?"
"Actually, I –" Tiffany stopped. Margarette was doing it again. She would always pretend that someone wanted to do what she wanted so it would seem that she was only trying to help. And, every time she does that, she could not resist.
"–am kind of curious," she finished unsurely. "However, I wish someone would help me find out."
Margarette beamed at her. "Then, I am here to help!"
"Yay?"
Margarette, then, pulled her towards Kyouya who was busy typing on his laptop. And, she was gonna use the straight-forward tactic. Smart, huh?
