The Devils meet their Angels – Chapter 15
"Saki, where are you?" Miyuki called out through the empty hall of their pink school. Her voice echoed making it seem more like no one was really there, except for them. She and Sayaka had been walking for a while now and had already called Saki several times but still no reply came. Her eyes drifted on the identical blond girl sitting on the floor.
"What are you doing there, Saya?"
Sayaka yawned and stretched her arms. "Resting."
"You're not tired." There was a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"I am too! We've been walking and looking for Saki for an hour now and it's tiring!" Sayaka complained as she shifted into a more comfortable position on the cold marble floor.
"Sayaka, it's only been ten minutes," Miyuki corrected.
Sayaka only pouted and huffed.
Miyuki took Sayaka's hand and pulled her up. "C'mon, let's just search Music Room 3. Maybe she's just hiding there."
"But I don't wanna~" Sayaka whined.
".let'."
~o~
"No one's here," Sayaka said as she stepped inside the room. For the first time, she entered those huge doors without a single rose petal blocking her way. It made her feel relieved.
"Of course." Miyuki closed the door behind her. "They're all out looking for Saki. So, let's start as-" Her jaw dropped when she saw her sister, already asleep. They had not been there for more than five minutes and she already managed to sleep so soundly.
"Sayaka, wake up!" Miyuki yelled but it did not even cause her twin to move an inch. So, she just dragged her. Surprisingly, it wasn't hard to do it since Sayaka followed obediently, though her eyes were closed and she wasn't being her usual noisy self.
As Miyuki wandered Music Room 3, she had realized how big it really was. Truthfully, ever since she had gotten there, the only part of that music room she seen was the place where they usually held the club activities and the dressing room.
"There's a piano here?" Miyuki asked herself, bewildered.
"Of course. This is a music room after all," Sayaka answered, surprising Miyuki.
"You're already awake?"
"Who wouldn't be? After you harshly dragged me!"
Ignoring her, Miyuki gently touched the grand piano. "Who do think plays this?"
Sayaka shrugged. "I don't know. Probably the former music club or whatever you call that. I don't think any of the host club members are cut out for playing this."
Miyuki laughed. "Yeah, certainly not Tamaki-senpai." She looked under the piano. "Well, Saki's certainly not here."
Sayaka noticed the bored look on Miyuki's face. Finally, her twin was on her side. She leaned on the nearby table and was surprised when something shiny bounced off towards a door. She found something amusing. What really amused her, aside from the unusual gem which she guessed was used in cosplaying, was the odd-looking door that stood there.
"Miyu?"
"Hm?"
"When did this door get here?"
Miyuki shrugged. "Why don't we take a look?"
With just a single glance towards each other, the twins had decided on opening it. Inside was very dark. Only candle lights were the source of light in the room. The room was filled with all sorts of he noria really normal girl would have been crept out by this place but-
"This place is awesome!" the twins exclaimed with sparkly eyes.
Both of them roamed around the place and examined every item they saw. They were simply amazed with everything that they totally forgot their purpose for the day which is finding Saki.
"May to help you?" a guy in cloak approached them. His eyes weren't too visible but he wore a really creepy smile. On his right hand was an odd cat puppet. "I'm Nekozawa Umehito, third year and president of this Black Magic Club and this is Belzeeneef," he pointed at the cat puppet in his hand.
"Uh, yes!" Sayaka happily went to him. "I would like a potion that would make certain golden eyed idiots suffer and-" She stopped, feeling the hand on her shoulder and the scary aura from behind her.
"I'm sorry. She just forgets her manners easily," Miyuki smiled at the guy and pulled Sayaka away. "I'm Sugimoto Miyuki and this is my twin sister Sayaka. We just happen to pass by so we're so sorry for intruding. And by the way, this place is really awesome." Miyuki paused with a sudden change of expression. "Now, getting down to business, what we really want is something that can make someone suffer and disappear when we wish to."
Sayaka couldn't say no more. It seemed that her twin was the one who got carried away. Nevetheless, Nekozawa seemed to be more entertained than troubled.
Nekozawa laughed. "Well, you two seem to be interesting characters. I'm sorry to say we don't have that kind of potion but if you really desire for it, you're welcomed to join Black Magic Club and discover that potion yourself."
"That is a really interesting offer but right now, we have to find a certain little girl," Miyuki said politely.
"It is never too late to change your mind."
Just then, a blinding light came from the door. Another unknown character stood there. This time, it was a girl and she was wearing the yellow dress they call uniform. Surprisingly enough, Nekozawa cowered behind the twins and shrieked.
The new girl quickly closed the door behind her. "Senpai, here are the things that you asked me to buy," she said in an eerie voice as she handed him the plastic bag she held. She must've noticed the twins' presence when she gave them a smile.
"Oh my, my, do my eyes deceive me or we have companions right here?" She walked around Sayaka and held her hand into her cold ones. Sayaka kinda flinched but she ignored it.
"Now, now Reiko, don't get too excited," Nekozawa said as her shuffled through the bunch of snacks. "Why don't you introduce yourself first?"
"I'm so sorry for forgetting my manners. I'm Kanazuki Reiko, first year," she said as she bowed politely.
This time, it was Sayaka who held her hands. "I'm pleased to meet you, Reiko-chan! I'm Sugimoto Sayaka but just call me Saya."
While Sayaka unconsciously distracted Reiko, Miyuki found time to ask Nekozawa about Saki.
"I haven't seen someone who looks like that," Nekozawa said when Miyuki presented him with a hand-drawn picture of Saki which almost looks like a monster.
"Well, I guess it's time for us to leave. Sorry for intruding," Miyuki said and grabbed her sister from the back of her clothes. "Thanks for everything~"
Both girls disappeared as fast as they appeared.
"I really hoped they had joined," Nekozawa said.
~o~
When the twins got out of Black Magic Club, they stopped because of something weird.
"Didn't we enter from Music Room 3?" Sayaka asked.
"I know. But this certainly isn't Music Room Three," Miyuki pointed out.
Silence took over making Miyuki realize that it wasn't the time to be thinking about other things. They had been goofing off for too long now. She dragged the silent Sayaka and ran towards Music Room Three.
When they reached the right room, they were relieved when no petals cam flying around as they opened the doors. It was just like before, only this time, there were people.
"Did you find Saki?" Miyuki asked.
"Yes," Tamaki said and pointed at the couch where Saki lay sleeping. "She's right there."
"Who found her?" Sayaka asked.
"Us," the Hitachiin twins said proudly.
Sayaka mentally rolled her eyes. For the 'acting' part, she smiled and thanked them.
Tamaki cleared his throat to catch everyone's attention. "As we have all seen, Saki-chan couldn't be left without a care of a guardian so I'll have to choose two people she's most comfortable with," he said then made a pregnant pause. The others waited eagerly for an answer but he was taking too long.
"Tamaki-senpai, who did you choose?" Haruhi asked.
Tamaki, then, dramatically pointed at Miyuki and Hikaru. "Sayaka and Kaoru!"
"Uh, senpai? You're pointing at the wrong ones," Haruhi pointed out.
A shade of pink appeared on Tamaki's face. Then, he pointed at Sayaka and Kaoru this time.
"Is that okay with you two?" Hunny asked.
"No," both answered and everyone was surprised.
They had somehow predicted that that would be Kaoru's answer since he, together with Hikaru, had always blatantly said that they hated Miyuki and Sayaka. On the other hand, Sayaka was another story.
Sayaka had just realized what she had just said so she tried to think of a counter. Fast. "I mean… not now, since…I …will be taking Miyu's make-up test in Math. Yeah, that's right! So, bye!"
Now, Kaoru's the only one to take care of Saki, not that he really hated it. What he didn't want was the fact that Sayaka could get out of it with such a lame excuse. So, if she could make a stupid excuse, he can make one as well.
"Tono, don't you notice how Sayaka-chan acted towards Saki-chan?" Kaoru asked.
"What of it?" Miyuki inquired.
Kaoru inwardly smirked. He would just love to explain this matter to her.
"You see, many of us have noticed that your twin does not act properly towards Saki-chan," he explained. "So, I'm suggesting that maybe we can help them have a sort of a bonding time."
"That's a great idea!" Tamaki exclaimed, coming in between them.
"A difficult question is how," Tiffany said for the first time.
"Agreed," Zurich raised his hand. "Saya's a really stubborn girl!"
"Hey!" Miyuki reacted but was ignored.
"Why not lock her and Saki here later without any escape," Hikaru suggersted.
"That's just-" Miyuki couldn't continue because of a certain idiot blond.
"Wonderful!" Tamaki said. "So, how's it gonna be?"
"I have a plan. Who's in?" Miyuki announced.
"I'm in!" Tamaki said.
"Sorry, Takashi and I have training so we can't help," Hunny said.
"I'm in," Margarette said.
"I'm out," Zurich said.
"Me too," Jinny and Tiffany said.
Okay, Zurich, Tiffany and Jinny are in," Margarette said.
"Hey!"
"We're in," Hikaru and Kaoru said reluctantly.
"I'm out," Haruhi said.
"Awww… but you'll miss out on all the fun!" Hikaru and Kaoru snaked around her.
"I promised Dad I'll go home early today," Haruhi explained.
"Okay, Haruhi's out," the Sugimoto twins said. "What about Kyouya-senpai?"
"He already left," Hunny said.
"Okay then, this is what you're going to do."
~o~
"There she is!" a man in black suit exclaimed.
"Where?" another man in same suit asked, taking the binoculars from the other man.
"There, inside that room with many people. She's sleeping."
"We won't be fired anymore!"
"Not until we bring Saki-sama back."
"Then, let's go!"
~o~
In Music Room Three, plan was starting and everyone was acting according to their roles. Margarette had borrowed some equipments and gadgets from the twins' father to make sure Sayaka doesn't break any doors or windows and for them to watch on their every move. Tamaki, Hikaru and Zurich helped put up the cameras and gadgets. Tiffany and Jinny were on screen to watch everything. Miyuki was to make Sayaka go to Music Room 3 without having her suspicious. And Kaoru was tasked to wait for Saki to wake up and make sure she doesn't leave the room until Sayaka arrived. He had to find the quickest way out in five minutes when Margarette activates all the electronic locks installed.
It did not take long for Saki to wake up. She looked around the room only to find Kaoru sitting on the opposite couch doing… uh..nothing.
"Where's everyone?" Saki asked.
"They had errands to attend to," Kaoru lied smoothly. "Would you like a drink?"
Saki slowly nodded, "Yes."
Kaoru stood up and said, "Wait here." Then, he left her.
Saki let her eyes travel the room until she caught sight of a very familiar man wearing a black suit. He was waving at her from the window. She walked towards him and opened the window.
"Tanaka-san?"
"Saki-sama, I'm so glad we found you!" he squealed but in a low voice. "Your mom's been worried about you!"
Another man in identical suit appeared in front of her. "Shall we go home mistress?"
"But, Koshiba-san, Onii-sama would still give me a drink," the innocent girl said.
The two men looked at each other and nodded.
"Saki-sama," Tanaka said. "We'll have your drink at home and Tachibana will say to your Onii-sama that you left."
Saki looked at both of them and said, "Okay~"
And with that said, the little blond jumped onto them and left the room without any traces. The two men even close the window just like how it was when Saki was still there.
So, obviously, when Kaoru came back, he saw no little girl with blond hair and crimson eyes. He placed the tray he was holding on the table. He started to look for Saki. He looked under and behind the couch. He called her name. He searched nearly everywhere. And after all the effort of looking for Saki, he found nothing, not even a trace of her. He desperately went in the kitchen since it was the only place he left out.
Meanwhile, Sayaka had just entered the room. She looked around, searching for her twin. Instead, she found a tray lying on the table. Above it were some biscuits and tea. Feeling hungry, she picked up a chocolate chip cookie and ate it.
Outside that very room, Miyuki grabbed her phone and called Margarette.
"Hey Marga."
"Hey, why are you calling?" asked Margarette from the other line.
"Activate the locks and cameras."
"But, it was supposed to be five minutes after Saya enters."
"Just do it now."
"Okay, fine."
~A few hours later at the Sugimoto Mansion~
"I win!" Zurich cheered as he held the cards up.
"Jinny slammed her hands on the table. "That's not fair! You cheated!"
"Jinny, calm down. Don't be such a kid," Zurich said. "Right, girls?"
Three girls didn't look like they had agreed with him. They all had these blank faces.
"What's wrong?" he asked, noticing the weird atmosphere.
"Nothing," they answered and looked away.
"I want a rematch!" Jinny demanded.
Zurich took the cards and smirked, "My pleasure." He turned to the other three, "Would you like to join us?"
"Yeah sure, as long as you don't play fair," Margarette said sarcastically.
Zurich's face turned dark. "Are you trying to imply something?"
Margarette smiled darkly at him. "Oh, you didn't notice? I was trying to say how I'd win only if someone would play fair."
"I'd like to see you try."
"Bring it on!"
Before they knew it, Margarette and Zurich turned their friendly game into a serious one. These kinds of games had always had always had this kind of attention from these two. Whether they were just too competitive or not, it had already become a sort of entertainment to others.
While the two seriously played a simple card game called 'go fish', others had their own businesses going on. Jinny took a seat with popcorn in hand. Miyuki saw her and shrugged. Soon, she joined in. Tiffany had had enough so she went to her room and did something sensible.
Spoiling the fun of the two audiences, a maid came in the room telling Miyuki that she had a call. As much as Miyuki would want to pause the game, she couldn't. So she just bore it and took the phone.
"Hello? Miyuki spea-"
"KAORU WENT MISSING!" yelled the caller from the other line. Miyuki had to hold the phone far so she wouldn't be deaf soon.
When she heard silence, she took it a cue to speak again. "Um… excuse me, but who is this again?" she inquired with emphasis though she knew it from the beginning.
"Hikaru."
"Oh, okay," she said calmly and slowly. "So, what were you saying again?"
"Kaoru went missing!" he repeated in a less powerful voice.
"Okay, so, I'm involved here, why?" she tried to say in a non-sarcastic voice.
"He hasn't gone home from when he did his part of the plan. You have the video, right?"
"You could say that."
"Could you check it for any signs of him?" His voice grew quieter.
"Yeah, sure. I'll just call you back." She quickly gave the phone back to the maid and went back to her seat beside Jinny.
"Who was that?" Jinny asked.
"Hikaru. He asked me to check on the video installed in Ouran," Miyuki explained, stuffing popcorn in her mouth.
Jinny raised her brow, a confused look plastered on her bubbly face. "Shouldn't you be checking it now?"
"I don't even know how to do that," she reasoned out. Probably, the most stupid she had said yet.
"Then why don't you ask Tiffa. She would know that."
"But if I do that, I won't be able to watch this nice entertainment."
Jinny slightly nodded and went back to watching.
A few minutes later, someone called again. Miyuki just calmly came back as if nothing happened. That happened several more times, making Miyuki really annoyed.
"Are you.. alright?" Jinny asked.
Before Miyuki could even give an answer, the phone rang again. Miyuki took a very deep breath before answering it. In an instant, her tired and annoyed face transformed into a refreshed and angelic one. "Hello?"
"Have you checked it yet?" Hikaru asked.
"No, but I'm almost doing it," she assured the very worried Hitachiin, then she hung up.
"I guess that means no?" Jinny said.
"What a really annoying guy," Miyuki muttered, almost emotionlessly.
"Mistress, you have a visitor," a maid said.
"Who is it?" Miyuki growled at the maid.
The maid just froze there so the visitor showed herself. It was a high spirited woman. She was beautiful with her dirty blond hair and bright crimson almond-shaped eyes. She was tall, standing in 5'10".
"Hey there!"
"Aunt Sayuri? What brings you here?" Miyuki asked, totally overlooking the issue earlier.
"Oh, I was just visiting," Sayuri said. Then, she spotted the other three people in the room (the other two, still playing).
Miyuki noticed this and said, "They're our friends from America. Jinny, Margarette and Zurich. Tiffany's in the other room."
Sayuri nodded. "So, where's Sayaka?"
"You can tell them apart?" Jinny asked, quite amazed.
Sayuri smiled, "Not really but Sayaka's usually the rude one. " She paused, recalling something. "Speaking of which, do you remember your cousin Satsuki?" she asked Miyuki.
She thought really hard but failed to recall the said cousin.
"Come here Satsuki," Sayuri said. Then, a girl appeared. A very familiar girl.
"Saki?"
