CHAPTER ELEVEN

Throughout the day I was shaking with excitement about Kin coming to our school. Though I was slightly worried that she would punch one of the hosts today because of how they were acting. Haruhi had actually been slightly surprised when I had told her that Kin was going to come visit us after school today. For some reason we ended our last class early, so I decided that I would go to Ouran Public and pick up Kin. Or rather I would go find Kin and ride her motorcycle back to school.

"Hey Mitsukuni, Takashi, I'm going to go get Kin. She's going to visit the Host Club today." Mitsukuni gave me a bright smile,

"Okay Kitty." I smiled, walking out of the school. As I got further from my school, I started to feel more and more uncomfortable. I felt very out of place in my poofy yellow dress. Maybe I should start bringing normal clothes to school in case I pick Kin up again? Oh well… By the time I reached Ouran Public, the last bell of the day had rung. I glanced around the school parking lot, looking for either Kin or her motorcycle. After almost two minutes of looking I finally found Kin, she was walking toward her blue motorcycle. Today she was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, a black skirt similar to the one she had wore the other day, black thigh leggings, and the same black boots she had wore Saturday.

"Kin!!" I shouted, grabbing her attention. She looked around for a second, I guess trying to figure out who had called her. Before she saw me, as I ran over to where she was standing. She quickly noticed me; I think it was because I was still wearing my yellow poofy school dress. "Hi Kin! Good to see you! My last class ended early, so I came to get you. Though I guess it's more like I walked here and am riding back with you on your motorcycle." I gave her my goofy grin. I noticed that she shook her head slightly at me. I guess because of my silly antics.

"You know you didn't need to do that Ellie." She still had a light smile on her face.

"I know but I wanted to! And I couldn't wait to see you!" I continued to smile at her, as we finished walking over to her motorcycle.

"Fine whatever Ellie. Here you take the helmet, I wouldn't want you to get hurt." I smiled up at her, knowing better then to try to argue with her on something like this. I climbed onto her motorcycle. I was sitting behind Kin, grabbing onto her stomach, I did not want to fall off. Even though I had ridden on Kin's motorcycle with her plenty of times before, it never lost its exciting edge, it was always very exciting to ride on the motorcycle with Kin. I was grinning widely when we pulled into Ouran Academy; the adrenalin was rushing through my veins. I slid off the back of the motorcycle, careful to keep the bottom of my dress down. I then removed the helmet from my head, handing it back to Kin.

"You just wanted to ride on the motorcycle, didn't you?" Kin asked me after seeing my large grin. My grin faltered slightly.

"That might have been another reason." I looked up at Kin, "I would show you my classes, but I think that the Host Club is opening soon." I took Kin's hand in mine, dragging her up to the Third Music Room. As I opened the door I heard the hosts start to say 'Welcome' at least until they saw who it was at the door.

"Oh it's just Kitty." I felt the tears come to the corner of my eyes. Even though they hadn't meant any offense, I was still upset by the twins comment. It also annoyed me that they didn't notice Kin.

"What do you mean 'it's just Kitty'? I thought I told you to be nice to her!" I looked up at Kin, rubbing the tears away from my eyes, noticing that Kin was glaring at the twins. Looking back at the hosts I saw that both of the twins had shrunk away from Kin.

"C-come on Kin, can you help me cut the cake? I forgot to cut them yesterday." I dragged her to the kitchen; worried about the harm she would do to the twins. I noticed that Kin had walked off, while I was finishing up the last cake. I was glad that she had gone to talk to Kyouya, and not to beat up the twins.

"Would it be okay for me to just watch the club and not designate someone, Kyouya?" He paused in writing in his notebook to think for a moment before he responded,

"That should be fine miss Takara."

"Oh just call me Kin." Well that was odd…

"As you wish miss Kin." I heard her heave a sigh, before walking over to where I was. As we were walking to sit with Haruhi, since I knew that Haruhi was the only one who Kin would be willing to sit with, I heard the twins say,

"Let's play the 'Which one is Hikaru-kun game'!" Hmm seemed like a silly game to me. Though the girls around them seemed to like it, because they all clapped excitedly. The twins were both wearing these ugly green hats.

"Ne Kin aren't those hats rather ugly?" I asked her in a whisper.

"Yes they really are. You'd think that they would have better hats since their mother is a designer." I nodded my head in agreement, before listening to the twins again.

"Now then, can you tell which one of us is Hikaru?" I looked at the twins. This would be harder for me, since I could just barely tell them apart by their voices, and since they spoken in unison it was harder for me to tell. Though I guess that Kaoru is nicer, more mature, and considerate to the thoughts of others, while Hikaru is more childish and immature. It slightly amused me that Kaoru was nicer then Hikaru since Hikaru was the older twin. Though with how airheaded most of these girls were I assumed that none of them had ever even noticed the differences between the two; basically I knew that they would get it wrong before they even guessed.

"Oh this is hard." One girl said. Another girl then stated,

"They look too much alike." I frowned at that, they may look similar but they were still their own person, no matter how much they were alike. I noticed Kin glanced at me, noticing my frown upon the girls' statement, but she stayed quiet for now.

"There's never been a girl who could really tell us apart before." I felt my frown deepen; I guess that means that no one had ever really seen the two different people that they are before.

"That's the dumbest game ever." Though I did agree with Haruhi, I still thought that it would be interesting to see their reactions to someone guessing right.

"Huh? Something you don't like about it?" The twins questioned Haruhi.

"Not really. I just can't quite figure out why you two are so popular." I glanced up at Kin to see a smile on her face. I guess she's just glad that someone other then the two of us saw how ridiculous the twin's act was. The twins frowned at Haruhi while saying,

"That's telling us."

"I'm disappointed." Kaoru spoke.

"Apparently, Haruhi doesn't…understand the merits of having twins in the Host Club." Hikaru said. By this point they had gotten on both sides of Haruhi.

"Listen here. Just having a couple of good-looking homosexuals earns plenty of high points." Upon hearing this, Kin covered my ears. I turned my head up, looking at Kin,

"Is this really necessary Kin?" She nodded her head, saying,

"Yes I don't want those two to ruin your perfectly good brain." She then turned around to glare at the twins. I faintly heard the twins talking while Kin and I had been talking. And from what I had picked up from their conversation it was a good thing that Kin wasn't listening to them. I think she might have killed them if she heard them talking about how girls have fantasies about having two slightly homosexual 'boyfriends', for lack of a better word. I figured that it was time for Kin and I to go outside for a moment or two, but that was just judging from the scathing glares she was still giving the twins.

"Hey Kin, why don't we step out for a second, you know cool your head off." She slowly turned her head to me, reluctantly nodding.

We went out for just a few seconds, just enough time for Kin to calm down enough to be able to be in the same room as the twins. As we came back in I heard Tamaki say,

"What do you think about this?" Tamaki was holding up a frilly pink dress against Haruhi's back. I don't think I even want to know why this came up, or where he got that dress. Though it seemed like he wanted everyone to know that Haruhi was actually a girl. I saw the death like glare that Kin was sending Tamaki's way, I guess we will have to go back outside sooner then I thought.

"What are you doing with that dress?" Ah that was a very excellent question Mitsukuni. Though Tamaki ignored his question.

"I'd love to see what Haruhi looks like in women's clothing." If Tamaki kept this up, then they would see it sooner then they'd like. Haruhi then let out a sigh, giving Tamaki a death glare.

"Ne Kin, do you want to go for a walk?" I smiled up at her, knowing that she probably needed to get out of here before anything else happened to make her beat up Tamaki or the twins.

"Sure Ellie. Let's go." I didn't notice but Mitsukuni had a confused look on his face, and Takashi was also slightly confused. After stepping out of the door Kin said, "Thanks Ellie, I really did need to escape before I knocked one of them out." I then decided something,

"Hey! Now I can show you my classrooms! Come on!" I smiled dragging her along with me. After taking her through my classes, and walking through part of the schools wonderful garden, we returned to the Third Music Room. Kin had completely calmed down from earlier. As we re-entered the room, I felt very lost. We had only been gone a short while, and the host had completely moved on from earlier.

"Then let's settle this with a game. If you can't pick out which one of us is Hikaru, then your penalty will be that we get to come over to your house." They had put those silly green hats back on now. I glanced up at Kin; she seemed to have a better handle of what was happening then I did. Though I didn't bother asking her, I just looked back over at the three freshmen. The twins finished switching back and forth,

"Okay which one of us is Hikaru?"

"You're Kaoru," Haruhi pointed to the right, "And you're Hikaru." I knew that Haruhi was smart enough to have noticed the differences between the two.

"Bzzzt! You got it wrong!" I glanced at them slightly confused,

"Why are you two lying to Haruhi?" They glanced over at me, surprised by my comment, before looking at Haruhi as she spoke,

"Kitty is right. You're lying. I didn't get it wrong. You do look very similar, but you are different." I had known it, she differently was as observant as I was, at times at least. The twins both blinked, I guess surprised by Haruhi and I.

"How did you do that Haruhi, Kitty? Once they cover whether they part their hair on the left or the right, the difference between Hikaru and Kaoru becomes completely indistinguishable." I frowned at her slightly, these people didn't even seem to think of how the twins would feel about their comments, though I guess they've gotten used to it by now. Come to think of it I had noticed the different personality traits and the differences in their voices, but I had not once even noticed the direction of the hair parting. "How can the two of you tell them apart?" I bet that the twins were even more curious to know then the girls were.

"Uh, well, let's see… If I had to say… Hikaru's speech and actions are one level meaner then Kaoru's."

"I agree with Haruhi, but I mainly use their voices to tell them apart. Hikaru's voice is a little more deep then Kaoru's." I smiled at them. Though I was really confused when I heard laughing, so I turned around.

"I'm sorry, Hikaru I don't mean to laugh."

"Well, I just don't mask anything, and always express myself honestly, so Kaoru is the one who is more spiteful." I glanced between the two, thoroughly confused. Suddenly Kaoru stopped laughing.

"Don't go spinning this on me, Hikaru, I'm the one who's always going along, playing your selfish games, right?" I looked up at Kin again, seeing her almost laughing. I bet she would laugh if they weren't being so stupidly serious.

"I may be the one to suggest them, but you're the one who really gets into them, Kaoru. If you don't like them, then just stop. What are you stupid?" At that point, I moved onto a couch, and stopped listening to them arguing. Maybe there was a reason for them arguing. I figure that they had already known these differences, or else they wouldn't know who they really are. I noticed that Renge had come in on some high-powered motor, but ignored what was being said. I was too deep in thought about the real reason the twins were fighting. I doubted that it was actually because of what Haruhi had said; in fact I doubted that the twins had ever had a real fight between themselves.

"Your mama wears too much makeup!" Did they realize that they were insulting their own mother? "That's it we're through!" Somehow I doubted that this would last, I mean they do live together after all. With that they both stormed out of the room, ending the Host Club. I smiled apologetically at Kin.

"Hey sorry about that, normally they aren't so bad. Guess we picked a bad day, I understand if you don't come ever again." Kin just smirked down at me,

"Ellie its fine. In fact I'm excited to come tomorrow. Them fighting just makes this more interesting." I grinned up at her.

"Okay then, I'll see you tomorrow!" With that I walked home with Haruhi, waiting to see what an interesting day tomorrow would be.
