Before I Loved You

Chapter Two

Haruhi's POV

I'd never been in a limo before, especially one that was stocked with a ton of really good looking food, not to mention all of the great looking drinks they had also. Wait, what was I saying, I was practically kidnapped. By two random rich boys of all people! Turning to my right I saw the two of them laughing at my expression from being in their car, cough, excuse me, limo.

"Where are you taking me?" I demanded.

"Why were you here?" spoke both of the twins, "You don't look rich enough to be going to this school."

God, these people were relentless at their questioning weren't they. "I was applying to get in, okay, so just let me get out of here and then I'll be on my way out of your life, okay."

Quickly, one of them grabbed a remote and then locked the doors to the limo.

"We're going to our home." spoke the one on the left. "Yeah, you're our new toy now." said the one on the right.

Ugh. Did they just say toy? These dang rich people thought they owned everyone didn't they?

"Oh, and if you didn't realize it, we're rich and influential. Therefore we could easily just misplace your file for applying for the school." said the redhead…I think it was Hikaru. Kaoru continued on, "Yeah, or you know, we could just maybe dump it in a pond."

What the heck? These weren't just your average spoiled brats. They were actually evil. And smart, but mostly evil. I guess people would normally be freaking out now but honestly, what could these rich boys do to me. The worst thing was that I would have to spend an afternoon in some fancy house while eating some fancy food. Then, I looked out the window. Excuse me, not just a fancy house, but an enormous house that was led up to by a 40 foot driveway. Oh, and I hadn't even mentioned the fountains, the balconies, the pillars, the statues, and all of the servants that were waiting for them when they came home.

Grinning at my gaping mouth the twins opened the car door and pulled me out with them. As they practically ignored all of the servants they marched me up the driveway, into their house, er mansion, and into the foyer, which was bigger than my entire apartment.

Pushing me over to a fluffy couch they sat me down on it as they ran off up a huge staircase. "Wait here." they yelled back over their shoulders. As I sunk into the downy cream colored couch I looked about me. Ceilings that I had to arch my head to look at, beautiful stone pillars with flowers engraved in them, shining marble tile, and a lot of little art works placed on pedestals around the foyer. Pushing myself up from the couch I walked over to one of the pieces of art. It was a vase, not big, but not small. Not necessarily what lots of people would call pretty, but I thought it was nice enough. The vase had sort of an aura around it, like it was drawing you to it. The body of the vase was pastel green with dark green patterns painted onto it; also, it had dark green handles. Slowly, and carefully, I reached my hand out so that it was nearly touching the vase. As I was drawing it back I heard a loud shout, and then, the impossible happened.

When I heard the shout I jumped and my hand flew out towards the vase. As the vas sprawled over the pedestal I reached over and tried to catch the handles with my hands but I missed by about an inch. Crash! The vase was gone, splintered into about fifteen different shards on the floor, and now I was responsible. I felt two hands on my shoulders.

"Oh look what you've done now commoner. We were going to use that renaissance vase in the upcoming festival that our school was going to have. We were going to start the bid at $250,000 dollars. What are we going to do now?"

NO. No. This couldn't have been happening. I was indebted to two little rich boys that I barely knew of all people. And it was TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

"Um, can I pay you back later?" I squeaked as I looked down on the broken shards of glass that were lying innocently on the floor.

"How will you pay that back? If you can't afford to go to our school then you can't pay this back, obviously." said Hikaru. "Yeah, but there is a way you can pay us back…" smirked Kaoru.

"You can be our toy. We'll even pay for you to go to our school for a year. So you can go to school for one whole year for free…if you hang around with us… oh and if you be our toy and play with us after school." echoed Hikaru.

Toy? I would have to be their toy? What did that even mean? But then I would have a whole year at Ouran for free. That would help Dad a lot. Looking up at them I gave them my answer, "Fine. One whole year at Ouran for free right? No tricks? And all I have to do is hang around with you guys. Okay, and then my debt's paid off right?"

"Right!" the twins said in unison.

Then they grabbed me by the arms and led me up the stairs so that we could play together. As they led me up to their "playroom" which was more like their own personal arcade I saw a huge layout of snacks on a table that was placed in the middle of a bunch of electronic systems. And I don't mean just some of them. I meant every system there was under the sun. While they sauntered off to grab a game I walked towards the snack table. There I saw the usual stuff…you know chips, pizza…and fatty tuna. I had always wanted to try some of that stuff. With my eyes shining I called over to the twins, "Hey, I can have some of the food, right?"

"Sure." Kaoru called back. "Yeah we get new food everyday anyways." yelled Hikaru.

Ugh. These brats were much to spoiled, but I guess that worked out for me. As I was about to pick up a piece of the tuna I heard the door burst open, and in came the blond boy.

"Hikaru! Kaoru! How could you kidnap this young girl!" he yelled. Looking over at me he smiled. "I'm sorry have they been harassing you again. Don't worry…I HAVE COME TO SAVE YOU!"

"Tama-chan." said a short boy with honey blond hair as he walked into the room, "Why did we come to Hika-chan and Kao-chan's house?"

"Yeah." echoed a tall, lanky guy with black hair.

"Yes Tamaki, why did you drag me away from my nap when you knew that I only had one hour of sleep last night? Huh? "commented another black haired boy with silver glasses.

Even though he was smiling he didn't really seem that happy. His dark black eyes seemed to want to strangle Tamaki. The tall boy had a bored expression on his face. His hair was also black but it was spiked up. Lastly there was the honey haired boy. His eyes were light brown and he had a sweet smile on his face, he looked so small like he was in elementary school, but he had the high school uniform on.

Running behind me Tamaki cowered down. "I was rescuing Haruhi. See! Now that we came she's safe. See!"

"Right." commented the boy with glasses.

Running back the twins looked over the group that came barging into their house.

"What are you guys doing here?" they said.

Shrugging all of them walked over to couches and sat down. As they all sat down I was left standing near the snack table. I watched as the twins started to pick a fight with Tamaki, the tall guy sat down quietly, the short guy started to eat some cake, and the guy with glasses pulled out a laptop and started to type. What had I gotten myself into?
