Chapter 3:
Previously in Chapter 2:
"You shouldn't apologize to me. I should be apologizing to you I should have never kissed you so soon. I should've waited until we were dating (If that would've happened.) I just couldn't help myself. And when you said that I was cute I just went all crazy inside and kissed you! It happened all so fast. I'm sorry." Kaoru said. I started crying then I hugged him tight and we stayed hugging for a few minutes. "Shhh," He said as he was stroking my hair, "It'll be alright as long as were together and you're in my arms. I love you!"
Now:
"I'm sorry; this is all going too fast! I'm not ready for a relationship right now." I told Kaoru. "I understand." Kaoru said. "Thanks Kaoru." I said then I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "And yeah, I do think you're pretty cute!" I said. Kaoru blushed then Hikaru said, "Hey! If he gets a kiss then shouldn't I get 1 too?" "Sure, as long as it's alright with Kaoru." I said. "It's alright. As long as it's on the cheek." Kaoru replied. I walked up to Hikaru and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Hey Misaki, If they get a kiss on the cheek, shouldn't I get one too?" Tamaki asked. Haruhi stomped on Tamaki's foot. "OWWW!" Tamaki Squealed in pain. "No Tamaki, you shouldn't get a kiss because you're in a pretty strong relationship with Haruhi. And I'd rather break your heart then break my best friend, Haruhi's heart! Plus, if I were you I'd care more about my significant other than some person who you just met today!" I said. "Thanks Misaki." Haruhi said. "You're welcome Haruhi! Tamaki, I want you to apologize to Haruhi this instant! I mean it!" I said. "Ha-ha! Tamaki got yelled at!" The twins said in unison. "Now Kaoru, that's no way to treat other people, especially fellow club members!" I said to him with gentleness in my voice. "Yes, My Love!" Kaoru replied. As Kaoru and Hikaru were pledging their un-dying love for me, Kyoya and Honey were talking in the other corner of the room while Mori listened. "Kyo-chan? Why do you think Misaki was yelling at Tama-chan?" Honey asked Kyoya. "I think Misaki was trying to protect Haruhi from getting her heart hurt. From the information I have collected about Misaki, she just broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years. She walked in on him "Doing It" with another girl. She was pretty torn up about it! That's why she started crying when Kaoru kissed her." Kyoya replied. "Ahhh, that's why Haru-chan asked me to leave the changing room earlier!" Honey replied. "Misa-chan! Misa-chan! Tell us all about yourself!" Honey shouted as he came running towards me. "Well…" I started. "Wait! Can I sit on your lap with Usa-chan?" Honey asked. "Sure!" I replied. "Where was I? Ahhh yes, Well… I am very close to my butler, Martin. He has been like a second father to me. He's always been there in times of need. And then theirs Joseph, he's our chauffer. He's the nicest, quietest chauffer you'll ever know! My parents, well… they're a whole other story. Mother is very quiet! It seems to me that the only time she wants to talk to me willingly is if she's telling me bad news. Father on the other hand gives me everything I want. You see this locket, I've always wanted a heart shaped locket with pictures of the people I love in it! He gave it to me the day I left for Japan! There is a picture of my parents in it, a picture of Martin in it, a Picture of Joseph in it, and a picture of me and my best friends Airi, Kim, Charlene, and Angelo. Angelo is gay, he likes to be called Layla." I said. "Misa-chan, what's that empty space for?" Honey asked. "Well… that empty space is for my boyfriend. And since I just broke up with him it'll stay empty. (Until I get another boyfriend.)" I said. "That picture spot will be mine!" Kaoru thought. The clock strikes 1 o'clock p.m. "Time for your nap Mitsukuni." Mori said. "Misa-chan, can you read me a story and tuck me in?" Honey asked. "Sure." I replied. "What story do you want me to read?" I asked. "I want you to read me 'The little bunny that could!'" "Okay! One day there was a little bunny…" A few pages later. "… And that's why the little bunny is called 'The little bunny that could.' The end!" I looked at Honey and he was asleep. I put the covers over him and kissed him on the cheek. I walked up to Kaoru and said, "Kaoru, can I sit on your lap?" I batted my eyelashes for about a half of a second. "Sure!" He replied. I sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me. For some reason I feel safe in his arms. I thought about what Kaoru said earlier, 'I love you' he said, did he really mean it or was it a joke? "Hey Misaki!" Haruhi started to say, "We're all going out to lunch later, would you like to come with us?" "I'd love to!" I replied. "Yeah! You could limo-pool with us!" Hikaru said. "Sounds good to me!" I said. All of the sudden it started raining hard. "I hope it doesn't start to thunder and lightning. I am deathly afraid of thunder and lightning." I said. "Don't worry, I'll hold you and protect you." Kaoru said. "You're afraid of thunder and lightning too? Phew! I thought I was the only one!" Haruhi said. "Princess, you'll get worry lines if you worry like that! I'm here. Just hold on to me tight, it'll be alright!" Tamaki said to Haruhi. "Boom, Crash, Bang!" The thunder struck. I silently started to cry. Kaoru was holding on to me a little bit tighter now. Lightning hit the electricity wires and the lights went out. Haruhi and I screamed at the top of our lungs. I held onto Kaoru tight. "It'll be just fine; I'll be here for you, always and forever!" Kaoru reassured me. "Kaoru, don't let go of me!" "I wouldn't think of it" He replied. "Ka-Boom!" Thunder hit again. I jumped. Honey woke up and ran up to me. "Misa-chan, I'm scared!" He said. "Here, Sit next to me and hold my arm." I said. Mori sat down next to Honey. Then everyone else started piling in next to us. Dammit! This was supposed to be me and Kaoru's time to have a moment alone in the dark! *sigh* Great, just great!... "I think we should leave Kaoru and Misaki alone. They need to work things out… Alone…" Kyoya said. "Yeah." Haruhi said winking at me." "Fine…" said Hikaru and Honey. "We'll go into the changing room." Kaoru said. He picked me up as if we just got married and he took me to the changing room. We sat down on a bench and held each other close. "So, it's alright if you turn me down but, would you go out on a date with me tomorrow night?" Kaoru asked. "I'd love to! As long as you don't send Hikaru to go on the date with me instead of you!" I replied. "I would never do anything like that to you!" He said. "I have to ask you something." I said. "What's up dear?" He replied. "Remember earlier how you said that you loved me…" I said "Yeah!" "Well… Did you mean it or was it all for show?" "I meant it! I really did! I love you!" "I love you too Kaoru, I love you too!" I said. We sat in the darkness for about ten minutes. The lights went on. Someone knocked on the door. "Are you guys ready to go?" Tamaki said. "Yeah, we'll be out in a minute!" Kaoru said. He helped me up and we walked out the door together. As we opened the door Tamaki said, "Took you guys long enough! What were you doing in there?" "That's for them to know and us not to know!" Haruhi said. "Well, let's go!" Kyoya said. When everyone got outside there was 4 limos outside. "Misaki this way, you said that you'd limo-pool with us!" Hikaru said. "Oh yeah that's right!" I said. I got into their limo and sat in between them.
In The Limo:
"So, where are you from?" Hikaru asked. "Well I was born here in Japan, but we moved to California when I was 8 years old so I speak fluent Japanese and English." I said. "Wow that must've sucked…" Hikaru replied. I said, "No, not really. I just hated that I had to leave my friends." "Hikaru, stop asking Misaki questions that might make her feel uncomfortable!" Kaoru said. "No, it's okay!" I told Kaoru. "Oh crap! I forgot to text Airi!" "Weren't you talking about her earlier?" Hikaru asked. "Yeah, she's my best friend! I've known her since 4th grade!" Turns on phone. Hey Airi! I just got to Japan! Took long enough! Jk! LoL! Guess what? What? I'm going on a date tomorrow night with the cutest guy on earth! His name is Kaoru Hitachiin! He has a twin brother named Hikaru! I'll send you a picture of them! Ok!Sends a picture of Kaoru and Hikaru to Airi. The one on the right is Kaoru 3 and the one on the left is Hikaru. Kaoru's ok… but Hikaru's Hotter! What Eva! Jk! I got to go! I'm going out to lunch with my cousin's friends! Bye! Bye! Turns phone off. "Hey Kaoru where are we going to eat?" Hikaru asked. "Where going to 'Harimi's Palace'" Kaoru said. "Yes!" Hikaru said. "I've never heard of 'Harimi's Palace'!" I said. "It's new!" Hikaru said. "Oh…" I said. "It's a high class Sushi place!" Kaoru said. "Cool! I've never had sushi!" I said. "I could be your sushi!" Hikaru said. "And if you were my sushi what would I do with you?" I said. "You could lick me everywhere and taste me!" Hikaru replied. "Hikaru, that is nasty! Never say anything like that ever again!" Kaoru said. "Okay, geez! I was just kidding!" Hikaru said. "Sure!" I said while laughing. "Mr. Hitachiin, Ms. Yamamoto, and Mr. Hitachiin, We are here at 'Harimi's Palace'." The Chauffer said. "Thank you Henry!" the twins said in unison. "Thank you Henry!" I said giving him a big smile! "You're very welcome Ms. Yamamoto." Henry said.
At the Restaurant:
We walked into the restaurant and found everyone sitting at the table. "Misa-chan, Sit next to me!" Honey said. "Okay!" I said. Kaoru sat on the other side of me. The waitress came up to the table. "Good Afternoon! My name is Hakamisa; I will be your waitress for the time that you will be here! Can I start you off with some drinks?" Hakamisa said. As everyone was ordering drinks I was staring into Kaoru green eyes. "And what can I get for you miss?" Hakamisa asked. "I'll have a glass of water with a lemon on the side please!" I said. Hakamisa continued to go around the table and ask orders. "I'll be right back with continued to go around the table and ask orders. "I'll be right back with your drinks." She said. "Why do you keep staring at me?" Kaoru whispered in my ear. "Uh, no reason." I whispered back and gave him one of my signature smiles. "Misa-chan, look what I got for you!" Honey said as he gave me a purple rose. "It's beautiful! Thank you Honey!" I said. I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Kaoru put his arm around my shoulders. "Would you like to stay the night at my Mansion tonight?" Kaoru asked. "I'd love to! As long as I get to sleep with you!" I said. "Of course!" he said back. "Great!" I said. "Misaki, What are you going to order?" Hikaru asked me. "I don't know." I replied. "Do you want me to order for you?" Kaoru asked. "Sure!" I said. "Here's your water Ma'am!" Hakamisa said as she put a glass of water and a lemon on the side in front of me. "Thank you!" I said. "You're welcome!" Hakamisa replied. Hakamisa then went around the table and started taking everyone's food orders. When she reached to Kaoru she said, "And what can I get for you, Cutie?" "I'll have your Sushi special! And she'll have the same thing too!" Kaoru said. "Ok! I'll be back." Hakamisa replied. I rolled my eyes and started talking to Honey. "So Honey, what's your favorite thing to do?" I asked. "I like to eat cake with Usa-chan! What about you?" Honey asked. "Well, I like to take walks on the beach at sun down and watch the moon slowly rise!" I said. "Me and Usa-chan love the beach! Isn't that right Usa-chan?" Honey said. I looked at the stuffed bunny. Honey put him in a high chair. "Ha-ha Usa-chan you're so funny!" Honey said. Was Honey just talking to Usa-chan? Weird! "Awww you're so cute!" I said to Honey. I looked back at Kaoru and he stuck his tongue out at me. I laid my head down on Kaoru's shoulder. Hakamisa came back with everyone's food. She came up to me an Kaoru and said, "Here's your…" She paused and stared at us. (I was still laying my head on his shoulder.) "Here's your Sushi specials." She said and threw our plates down in front of us. Then she ran off. "What was that?" Kaoru asked. "I don't know!" I said. Everyone dug into their food. I said a prayer in my head and picked up my fork. "Uh-uh-uhh! You're supposed to eat Sushi with your chopsticks!" Kaoru said. "But I don't know how to use chopsticks." I said. "Then I'll feed you!" Kaoru replied. "That won't be necessary! I'll just use my fork!" I said. "Okay! I was just trying to help!" Kaoru said as he smiled at me. Awww Haruhi and Tamaki look so cute feeding each other! I wish I had a boyfriend! *sigh* Oh well. Everyone was awfully quiet. A different waitress came up to our table and said, "I'm Harakiri! I will be your new waitress for the afternoon!" "What happen to Hakamisa?" Honey interrupted. "She left, she said that she was having some problems and had to leave to the psychiatrist. Anyway, can I get you any desserts?" Harakiri said. "I Would Like A Piece Of Your Most Sugary Cake Please!" Honey said. "And I'll have the heart shaped bowl filled strawberry ice cream! 2 spoons!" Tamaki said. "I'll have your lovers' lane churro please!" Kaoru said. Everyone else ordered but me. "Will that be all?" Harakiri asked. "Yes." Tamaki said. "Okay! I'll be back with your order A.S.A.P!" Harakiri Replied. "I can't wait to share my dessert with you!" Kaoru said. What is he talking about? I never agreed to share any dessert with him! Whatever, If he tries to kiss me again then I'll just Back away and keep in the tears. Be strong Misaki, Be strong! "Here's your lovers' lane churro! Enjoy!" Harakiri said. "Let's eat!" Kaoru said as he picked up the churro. We started eating it slowly. Then we reached the last bite. I wanted to back away but I couldn't help it! I took the last piece and put it on the plate, and then I held Kaoru face to mine and kissed him. Kaoru was breathing heavy then said, "That was amazing!" I smiled. "At least you didn't run away crying this time!" Kaoru said. "You're such a jerk!" I said. I threw my napkin down on the table and went outside to cool-off. "Kaoru, you need to think about what you're gonna say before you say it!" Haruhi said. She walked outside to talk to me. "Misaki, are you okay?" "No Haruhi, I'm not okay! I hate it here! I want to go back to California with my old friends!" I said as I started crying. "I know. It'll be just fine! Would you like to sleep over my house tonight?" "I guess, since I won't be staying the night at Kaoru's Mansion." I started to cry even harder! "I'm going to go back in, get our bags, and tell Tamaki that were going. I'll be right back!" Haruhi said. I nodded. Why would Kaoru say something like that? He acts like everyone has to do whatever he says! Tomorrow's date is off! I don't care how many times he apologizes it's off! Haruhi walked out the door. "You ready to go?" She asked. "Yeah, can we have the sleepover at my house? I'd feel more comfortable there." I said. "Sure!" "We could take a taxi! I've never been in a taxi before!" "Okay!" I called for a taxi. The taxi came up and we got inside.
In the Taxi:
"Where to?" The taxi driver asked. "53 Ayame Street." I said. As we drove off I looked out the window and saw Kaoru come out the restaurant and run after our taxi. "Would you like me to stop for that boy you two keep looking back at?" The driver asked. "No, keep driving!" I said. Kaoru stopped running after 3 blocks. Then Haruhi's phone rang. She picked up her phone and said, "Hello? … Why? … No! … I'll text you it later! … Alright, Bye! …" "Who was it?" I asked. "Uh… It was… my dad! He wanted to know your address so he could drop off my stuff." (Authors note to Readers: Haruhi totally lied! She was talking to Kaoru not her Father!) "Oh, Okay!" I said. "Were here, that'll be 103.85 yen." The driver said. I gave him 103.85 yen and walked into Uncle Otori's Mansion.
In the Mansion:
"Good Afternoon Misaki, Where's Kyoya? And who is your friend?" Uncle said. "Kyoya's at a restaurant with his friends, and this is my new friend Haruhi!" I said. "Yes, aren't you engaged to the young Suou boy?" Uncle asked Haruhi. "Yes sir!" She replied. "Uncle, Haruhi and I are going up to my room now!" I said already half way up the stairs. "Okay! Be down for dinner at 6:30." "Okay!" I said.
