Chapter Five "The Perfect Date?"
Author: I'm sorry you guys for the long update. First off, my computer was attacked by a virus and it had to get fixed, so that took two weeks and the other two weeks I was lazy. I've had this idea for a while and since Valentines is tomorrow or today if you're reading, I thought I'd write this up for that occasion. For me, Valentines Day is depressing because I'm a single and no man wants me, so if you have a "real" boyfriend or husband, then be happy and enjoy the time you do have. I'll probably be slow on updates from now on, but I'll try to post more often and thank you for your patience. You guys are a nice audience. ^^
POV: Kyouya
It's the dreadful six am curse and already people are calling me about some issue or problem. I can hear all the complaints now from what the host club plans on doing to even the smaller issues like what I am doing currently. All night my mind was filled with questions. Who is she, where did she come from and why does she act like she knows me? She seems familiar, but at the same time she acts almost like some one I know personally, but it can't be. I've been trying to connect the clues around this girl. Off and on she'll be there, in the host club, but then Tamaki will disappear or be sick and the same thing happens with Haruhi and the twins. I get the feeling they know something of rather importance, but won't tell me. I'll keep my eye out on these three for now, Hunny and Mori agreed on a deal to give me any information they know. It's a good then too, since all I had to do was offer just enough cake for Hunny to get by.
I answered my phone like normal, picking up each call and handling the issues that came about. I'm happy through. Today is Saturday which means no school, however since I handle business affairs now and then; I have to be up early. Handling social networking is easy for me and with my pervasive tone of voice, I can almost convince any one to do my biding. I guess you say it's like magic in some cases.
After the morning calls, I hit the shower, washing a way dirt and sweat. The water felt nice and warm as the stream rose to the surface, spreading around and making the bathroom into a sauna. I came out about ten minutes in and grabbed a towel and quickly dried, then wrapped the towel around my hip and headed over by the sink to finish up the job. I brushed, lathered and dried and then headed back to my room to change.
As I walked into my room, my clothes were laid out and assembled in a nice and neat fashion. I closed the door and allowed myself to change in private. Black pants, buttoned collar shirt that was open followed by a black shirt underneath and black dress shoes shined brightly. I reached for my classes and slipped them up to my nose and adjusted them to fit nicely. I looked in a near by mirror and nodded. As a sat down on my bed, I heard my cell phone go off and a familiar number and picture popped up. I picked up my phone and scowled. Suoh Tamaki, calling me this early on a busy Saturday. He either wants to do a club activity or wants to bug me about something he just saw or something else randomly stupid. I sighed and answered to hear his sharp and painful voice ring in my ear.
"KYOUYA!!!!!"
"Hello Master Tamaki. What brings this pleasure of you calling me so EARLY in the morning?"
"Well Kyouya, Renge invited a guy friend to come along on a date and she wants you to join her along with a special woman. She wanted me to tell you since she is busy getting ready. You know women,"
"Right. So it's a double date then. So, who is the "special guy" she is tagging along with?"
"Oh Aaron Hidaka of coarse. She is starting to have a crush on him which means me and Haruhi can have more time together! It's perfect!"
"Aaron!? Why him!? That guy makes me…no, wait, maybe I can use this to an advantage. Since Renge is dating him, maybe I can bring his "special" friend along with me. This could be a chance to get to know him personally,"
"Right, I see. So Aaron is coming along. I think I might invite Azusa Haruno to come along. She hasn't seen too much of Japan since she moved back here, so maybe she'll enjoy this date. What do you think Tamaki?"
"I think that's perfect! Oh Kyouya, I'll tell her myself!"
"Wait you have her phone number? Give it to me you…"
"Bye Kyouya!"
The phone finally clicked and the idiot was going to announce to her that I was going to take her out tonight. He always makes the situation worse for me. Still, as I sit here and think about her, I'm curious to where she is and what she is doing…
POV Tamaki
"Oh Haruhi! Kyouya fell for it!"
"Senpai, I think this is a bad idea," My daughter said and spoke heavenly. "Don't you think this might cause more problems?"
"Haruhi, Haruhi, Haruhi. Sometimes those good people have to do bad deeds once in a while. I mean, it's the fact of life and nothing bad will happen. After all, Kyouya hasn't figured it out yet. He thinks there might be a connection, but with this "date" he is sure to think something else and with Renge tagging along, the date will be even more realistic!"
"About that, I lied to her and told her she would be going out with "Haruhi" and not "Aaron" senpai. I mean, it was the only way to get her to come. Should I call her and tell her something else?"
"No no, it's fine. We'll tell her on the date. We can say you got the stomach flu and couldn't take you with us, so we brought a replacement. It works out fine and well,"
"Ok then. I have a question senpai?"
"What's that Haruhi?"
"Why are you wearing my dress from episode twenty-six?"
"CAUSE ITS CUTE!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!! IT'S LOOK GOOD ON ME AND TIES IN NICELY WITH MY BLONDE HAIR!!!!"
"Oh…oh..ok. I guess I'll go get the water and get myself ready…over there!"
"HARUHI!!! WAIT!!!! DADDY DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE YOU!!!"
Haruhi closed the door on me and locked herself in the bathroom while I stared at that white and lacey dress I had on. I hope this plan goes will and I hope Renge does her part to make this feel realistic.
POV: Renge
Rub, rub in my tub. I sing and dace to be clean and wait for my handsome Haruhi. He'll pick me up at eight and we'll celebrate till the night is young. Oh I can't wait till this date! At long last, the moment I've waited for. My prince will come and take me out on a date, but it has to be a double date, but at least Kyouya will be there. He makes me clam when I'm around him and with Haruhi there, he'll make me freak out. So this way on our date, I'll remain neutral and still lovey dovey.
I'm still trying to figure out what to wear! Do I want something simple and wild!? Should I be fancy or sexy? Oh, what would Haruhi want! He'll say something like "Whatever suits you. You're fine just the way you are," and that's when I'll fall over and melt in his arms. Oh, but I don't want him to sex it up at dinner, since it is a double date. Oh, what to do!
As I hopped out of the tub, I wrapped myself in a towel and looked through my outfits. Lines and lines of outfits hung from the simple to the outrageous. I decided to do something simple with a little sexy flare in it. I plain black dress, one strap top and I'll wear silver jewelry to make it stand out more and I'll leave my hair straight down and to add, I'll have black high heels on with straps that wrap around my ankles. Something simple and still sexy enough for my deal Haruhi!
This thought made me rush back into the bath room and begin to apply on make up. Oh, I wonder what Haruhi is doing now!
POV: Haruhi
Why does senpai have to be a clueless idiot? He puts on a dress and suspects me to be scared. Sometimes I wonder about him. His schemes will cause nothing but trouble for me and right now I get that feeling something will happen to make this fake date worse. I looked in the mirror to see my female and girlish figure stare back at me. I gulped as I saw the cold shower water run behind me. The instant it touched me would be the instant I transformed into Aaron again. He causes me trouble each day. Kyouya hates me, I know it, but Tamaki insists that it's his game he plays. Still, I wonder why he hates him so much. I wonder if he has feelings for Azusa –chan and feels Aaron is a threat. I mean, he does look at her often in the host club. If only he knew it was Tamaki, then I'm sure he'd be creep out.
I looked over at foe, the shower. I gulped and stepped closer to it. He poured out more of his liquid evil and mocked me. He knew the fate I would encounter once I stepped in and finally had his revenge for all the times I broke his nasal. Finally, I decided to run into the cold water. He attacked me, hitting me at all ends. I felt the water hit me and the transformation began. I grew taller and grew and gained some muscle on my skinny body. My hair felt like it was changing to a rather different tone and length and my voice, normally high pitched grew lower and deeper. I stepped out quickly and grabbed the towel to wrap around. The transformation ended and I was once again Aaron Hidaka.
"Haruhi, are you done yet?" Tamaki called out from outside.
"Yeah," I announced with my new male voice. "Just give me a second ok,"
"Oh right! I have to get ready to you know. Kyouya is coming to pick me up and you have to pick up Renge-chan soon,"
"Geeze, thanks for the late notice!"
"You're welcome!"
I opened the door and stared at my boyfriend still wearing the dress. I shook my head and pushed him in while I looked through senpai's clothes. I found something nice and basic to wear that should impress Renge-chan. I slipped it on and headed out the door so I could pick up my date. I hope she will be prepared for the un-expected.
POV: Kyouya
It was now eight forty-five pm and we arrived at the fancy Japanese restaurant downtown. Since I knew Aaron couldn't pay half the bill, I decided I would pay the full tab and this would be added on his debt. As usual, he gave that "Haruhi" rolling eye look and focused his attention on Renge who seemed interested in him. Azusa looked at me with her violet-blue eyes and pulled me away from those two for a brief second to look at the fish in the tank. She told me how each one seemed unique in their own special way. She pointed out the one she liked the most. I decided when dinner was over that I would buy that koi fish for her. She smiled and nodded in a kind gesture. The hostess of the restaurant took the four of us and we all sat down at a small table, each facing our dates. I had to sit next to Aaron and this would sure to be a problem, but I must remain calm.
"So Aaron, how did you and Azusa meet?" I asked him.
"We meet each other in middle school both starting out in America. Our families had good ties with one another and often would exchange business products and services. Soon my family decided to move back to Japan to finish off schooling and so I can take over the family business. That's when I heard Azusa was moving and so we took part only to find out she was here in Japan this whole time,"
"So I see. You guys are good class mates then,"
"Yep!"
"Wow! I've never been to America before. I've always wanted to shop there and see things. I've heard so many things about America! France only offers so much. Aaron, will you take me to America some time?" Renge asked him, looking up with big eyes.
"Uh..sure. When I get the chance ok?"
"Ok!"
I turned away from these two to see the waitress next to me. She did her job and ordered our food for us. She then left and I looked at Azusa in front of me. Her eyes seemed fixed on Aaron for some reason. I tried to direct her attention towards me, but she seemed to amazed by his "pretty" and "princely" appearance.
"Azusa, dearest, why don't you tell me about yourself,"
"Oh, me? Well, Aaron summed up just about everything. All I can say is that as a little girl I did some dancing on singing and I play the piano now. I teach some here and there and after I'm done teaching, I tend to play some musical numbers alone to myself. Mommy thinks this is good for me, playing music. I do enjoy this, but I also want to do other things, like please people and make them happy,"
"Oh really? You sound like a friend of mine. He to likes playing the piano and pleasing people. Do you know him by any chance?"
"What's his name?"
"Suoh Tamaki,"
"Oh yes! Tamaki is my...uh...cousin! His mother is my aunt. My mom and his mom are siblings and my father loved her deeply, but my mother eventually passed away due to the family illness his mother has. A cure was never developed for her, but my aunt at least has a chance to be safe and alive,"
"I see, I'm terribly sorry,"
"It's alright. Can you excuse me for a brief moment? I need to use the restroom,"
"I need to use the restroom as well!" Renge exclaimed as she bounced up and down.
"Alright you two, you can go. Besides, Aaron and I need to talk a little about certain things,"
"Ok! We'll be right back!"
Azusa and Renge left us. My eyes were now in focus of Aaron's. I heard his spit slide down his throat as his face mirrored in my glasses. He seemed nervous and scared and that's how I like my men, worried.
"Now then…let's chat the old fashion way,"
POV: Tamaki
Dashing and racing, I grabbed the wonderful Renge and headed towards the rest rooms. I had to stop for a brief second and then turned in the women's restroom. I then let go of Renge and stood in the mirror to beauty myself up. After all, now was the next step in my brilliant plan. To make Azusa Haruno look good enough to make Kyouya fall flat on his butt. Oh, nothing could ruin this plan…or so I thought.
"You! How dare you ruin Kyouya senpai in front of every one you two timing jerk!"
I looked behind me and turned. Renge was angry and in a brief second, the worse happened. In her hand was a bucket of warm and dirty mop water. I could smell the fowl odor of pee, dirt and worse of all, the fetuses of those little children who made a "oops" in here. I stepped back, as close to the sink I could manage to get. Her eyes, filled with hate and flames eyed me down.
"Now Renge-chan, you don't want do that. Don't you remember who brought you here? Who arranged this for you? Please, don't do this!"
"I'm sorry Azusa, but this is for Kyouya!"
She threw the dirty mop water on me. It splattered all over. The stench and muck ruined what was Haruhi's dress. I could see stains of brown and yellow on the lovely white dress and worse of all, my secrete was exposed.
"How could you!? Renge, what did I do to…"
I looked down and saw the manly chest I've been so used to and then I looked at her face. Surprised, shocked, scared and confused ran down her flawless face. What would she do now? Would she tell Kyouya and ruin my plan or make things worse by telling the school?
"Tamaki senpai? This…how…when…why? I don't understand!"
Little tears trickled down her face as she fell onto the marble flooring. She bent down, all the way and went up closer to my jammed high heeled feet. I could imagine the terror she would struggle with, plus me in a dress isn't that attractive. So, as a man, I bent down and rubbed her back, trying to comfort this confused little angle god sent to us.
"Renge, if you promise not tell any one, I'll explain the whole story to you. This will be our secrete alright? Promise me or else I'll ban you from club activities,"
"I promise…"
"Thank you Renge. I'll tell you how it started…."
POV: Haruhi
I sat there at the table as Kyouya senpai looked me down. His eyes, glancing and looming on his new prey. I'm not afraid of him and I shouldn't be. If he thinks I'll tell him the truth, then he has another thing coming. Already he seemed pleased. My sweat trickled down my face and I knew he wanted me worried, scared and afraid. This was apart of the plan, to make Aaron look like a coward and defense less human. Kyouya loves his men weak and that's why he waits in the shadows, to take them down and pawn them at all cost. Give them a rush of adrenaline and make them feel alive before his last strike. That's how Kyouya wins all his matches.
"Look dude," I said pushing my hands in front of me. "If you have a grudge against me, then say it. If you think I'm taking Azusa away from you, then I'm not. We're good friends and I have no interest in her senpai. I like her as a friend and nothing more. I'd rather date some other chick any way,"
"Strange, you drew up the conclusion that I was taking Azusa away from you rather quickly. As you said, you have no intentions to date or marry her and so, I'll kindly take her for my own, if you like. You could always tell me what little plans you have going on. I know you're up to something and I'll soon find out what Mr. Hidaka. I know you and Mr. Fujioka have been in touch lately. Whatever you plan on doing with him, I'll soon find out soon enough,"
"Whatever. Fujioka-kun and I aren't up to anything. We're just exchanging home work ok. I need help in certain subjects dude. So chill,"
"Hmm, right,"
Eventually my date and senpai returned to the table for the rest of the night. I would have asked what happened, but I felt nosy would be listening in on us, so I decided not to even speak about it. The dates ended at ten and senpai and I headed home. Kyouya seems pleased with date and as for Renge, as long as she keeps quite, nothing bad should occur. However; I get this feeling that my troubles would soon begin….
