CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
The next day the three of us slept in, and once we woke up Haruhi helped me make breakfast, and the rest of our day was spent finishing up our homework, talking, and we even played videogames. I always thought it was really amusing when Haruhi or I would beat Kin in a videogame, because she always got annoyed due to her competitive nature. We spent most of the day basically goofing off. At about six my mommy walked in, and told us to start getting ready, and that I would need to help her an my daddy greet the guest for a while, at least until the first five families arrived. We went up to my room, surprisingly I didn't get lost.
"So Haruhi, you don't want much make-up right?" I asked her, planning on just doing the bare minimum of make-up. She just nodded her head; I guess she thought that since I wasn't the twins' I would let her go without the make-up. At least I wasn't making her use a wig, so what if she had short hair, it looked fine with the dress. I pulled out the make-up, handing Kin the black mascara, brown eyeliner, and a light slightly shiny eye shadow. I didn't care much for blush, I had broken out slightly after my mommy had put it on me for a party, so I now could never bring myself to use it. We sat Haruhi down, facing away from the mirror.
"Haruhi, please close your eyes." I spoke softly, before carefully putting the eye shadow on her eyelids. "Now open your eyes." I then slide the eyeliner pencil under her eyes; it looked fairly good to me. "Hey Haruhi, can you put on the mascara?" She slowly nodded her head, taking the mascara into her hand. She cautiously put the make-up on her eyelashes. "Okay now you need to go put your dress on." I smiled at her as she grabbed the dress and made her way into the bathroom. I chose Kin's make-up for her, a bronze shade of eye shadow, a brown eyeliner, and the same black mascara. I let Kin put her own make-up on though, she had done this way more then Haruhi had. Haruhi soon came out of the bathroom, but I pushed her back in, telling Kin to also change into her dress, just in my room. I pulled out both the hair-straightener and hair-curler out of the drawer, setting it up to heat up. A few minutes later, once the hair staightener had heated up, I picked it up by the handle and ran it through Haruhi's hair making it look straighter then normal, and it looked nice with her dress and her make-up.
"Haruhi you can go wait on the bed, I need to do Kin hair." While Kin could probably do her own hair, it always looked nicer when I did it, mainly because she had trouble reaching the hair on the back of her head. I was fairly quick with finishing Kin hair, and again I asked Kin to sit on the bed, which she complied with as Haruhi had done. I was quick in choosing my own make-up. I used black eyeliner, black mascara, and a light red eye shadow. I then reused the hair-straightener to make my own hair look very straight and pretty. After slipping on my heels, as the other two had done, I walked down the hallways and down the stairs, quickly showing Haruhi and Kin where the ballroom was, even though Kin knew where the room was just as well as I did. Soon after, I made my way to the front door, where my mommy and daddy were already waiting. The first guest had been Kin's mother, father, and sister. I guess they didn't want anyone to know that they had arrived without their eldest daughter. I didn't really know any of the other families that came after that, but I really didn't care either. After the first ten families had arrived I was allowed to rejoin my friends in the ballroom.
"Kin, Haruhi! Nice to see you again." I didn't shout, I always tried to remain ladylike at these things for my daddy's sake; I didn't want to mess up his image. Kin gave me the sarcastic reply of,
"It's been much too long Ellie." I giggled slightly, while Kin laughed slightly. Haruhi just looked between the two of us, momentarily confused.
"Sorry Haruhi, we were just laughing at a memory. We've been to one to many of these things." She nodded her head in understanding.
"This event does seem a little boring and overly fancy."
"Well at least you look nice Haruhi!" I exclaimed slightly, but not enough to give off a bad image of my daddy or me. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice, rather close to me, slightly shout,
"Haruhi!? Where!?" I think the voice belonged to Tamaki…but why was he here? I glanced at Kin, and noticed that her hands were clutched in tight fists, trying to contain her anger upon hearing Tamaki's voice. I think she also didn't want any of the hosts, aside from Haruhi, to see her in a dress or looking feminine at all. Suddenly I was pushed out of the way, but I managed to twirl around and land gracefully on my feet, once again I was very thankful for my amazing reflexes. I looked to the spot where I had been standing a moment ago. Tamaki was now standing there, his face inches away from Haruhi's…maybe he didn't know if it actually was her?
"Tamaki-senpai…what are you doing?" As Haruhi spoke I inched closer to Kin, ready to grab her if she went to attack Tamaki.
"It is you Haruhi!" Tamaki hugged Haruhi as he had shouted.
"Hey let go of her! Do you now how long I spent getting Haruhi to look that nice?" I reality I hadn't spent to long, but I didn't want him to mess up her hair, make-up, or dress. Also Haruhi looked like she wanted him to let her go. Tamaki then released Haruhi and turned to look at me, before freezing when he saw Kin and I. I waved my hand in his face, but he didn't respond, I wonder why? Suddenly I heard more voices,
"You're here to boss?" Hikaru asked.
Eh who are these people?" Kaoru asked. After a moment Tamaki pulled them away, trying to whisper, but once more failing to because we could all hear what he was saying,
"That's Haruhi…and I think the other two are… Kitty-senpai and Kin…." Tamaki was being a true idiot at the moment. I would obviously be here…. it was my daddy's party after all.
"What no way!? Kin isn't that pretty! She's a lot more scary." As the twins spoke, both Haruhi and I grabbed onto Kin's arms. The twins' both flinched when they turned around, realizing that it was Kin, and that they had just made a huge mistake.
"Uh…Kin why don't you take a quick walk, cool down your head?" She gave a sharp nod, briskly walking off. If Kin weren't so tough I would be worried about how the twins stupid comment had affected her. Though I assume that she was fine, other then being very angry, mainly because she thought of the twins as complete idiots.
"So Kitty-senpai, Haruhi…"Hikaru started saying.
"Why are you here?" Kaoru finished Hikaru's sentence for him. Giving them a blank look I responded,
"This is my daddy's party, why wouldn't I be here? And I invited Haruhi to come; she needs some girl time every now and then you know. Hanging around boys all the time cant be a good thing for her." The twins and Tamaki shared a look of shock before Tamaki stuttered out,
"I-I didn't k-know that you w-were r-rich!" I just kept giving Tamaki and the twins a blank look, until a deep voice scared me, making me jump slightly, and give off a high pitch squeak.
"Kitty-senpai's father owns one of the biggest toy companies in the world, Kodo's Treasure's. They have ties to all of our families. Also their lawyers are Kin's parents, the Takara's. They are actually the lawyers for most of our parents." I turned to look at Kyouya, who Kin was behind, with a smile on her face. Hm…how odd. Suddenly I was glomped from behind; I barely caught myself from falling. Turning my head as best I could I saw that it was Mitsukuni who had glomped me,
"You look really nice tonight Kitty!" I smiled, and giggled slightly. I guess the whole host club was here tonight.
"Thank you Mitsukuni! You look quite dashing yourself." I smiled at Mitsukuni as he released me from his glomp, or rather hug.
"So Kin, who are these people?" I glanced over to the familiar voice; it belonged to Kin's sister Haku. I had seen her earlier when her and her parents had arrived. She was wearing a rather pretty blue-layered dress, and silver heels. Her normally straight hair was done to look slightly wavy. Haku shared the same dark brown eye with Kin, but her hair was more of a blondish brown, unlike Kin's dark brown hair.
"Hi Haku!" I looked up at the girl; she looked over at me, shock showing on her features for a moment.
"Hey Nora… It's been a long time, you look really nice tonight." Haku smiled at me, and tried to rub my head, but I moved out of the way; I didn't need her messing up my hair the one time I did something nice to it.
"Nora…who's Nora?" I heard Tamaki try to whisper to Hikaru and Kaoru. We really needed to give Tamaki lesions on how to whisper properly.
"Oh…that's Haku's nickname for me." I smiled again. "Guys this is…"
"My sister Takara Kohaku." Kin interrupted me. I guess she was irritated by her sister trying to take her friends, sadly its happened a lot before… and guy always seemed to like Haku better then Kin.
"Er… Haku, these are Suoh Tamaki, Hitachiin Hikaru and Kaoru, Ootori Kyouya, Haninozuka Mitsukuni or Honey, Morinozuka Takashi or Mori, and Fujioka Haruhi." As I introduced everyone I pointed to each host, letting Haku know who was who. I noticed that Haku and Kin were have tension between them, so I quietly walked over to Kyouya. Upon reaching his side I tugged on his sleeve. Kyouya glanced down at me questionably, asking me what I wanted without saying anything out loud.
"I'm sure you noticed the tension between the two. Go ask Kin to dance." I gave him a slightly dark look, something most people didn't see. "Then I can get her sister away." I looked Kyouya straight in the eyes, and he seemed to think about it for a second, and for a moment I thought he would say no.
"Kin, would you like to dance?" I noticed that Kin's face portrayed her shock. I don't think she had been asked to dance by a guy in a long time. I noticed that Haku left soon after Kin had left, and saw her dancing with Mike. I felt a tap on my shoulder, and after turning around I saw that it was Mitsukuni.
"Wanna dance Kitty?" Mitsukuni gave me a really cute smile. I blush slightly and answered,
"S-sure Mitsukuni!" We gracefully spun around, doing a waltz like dance. It was definitely a good thing that we were nearly the same height. Not long after we finished dance we, all of the host, had joined back together. My mommy then walked over,
"Kitty are these your new friends?" I nodded my head slightly; I wasn't really sure what she wanted to know for.
"Yeah. Suoh Tamaki, Hitachiin Hikaru and Kaoru, Ootori Kyouya, Haninozuka Mitsukuni or Honey, Morinozuka Takashi or Mori, and Fujioka Haruhi." Once again motioning to everyone as I introduced the hosts, yet again. My mommy smiled at me,
"Why don't you see if they can spend the night, I'll go ask their parents for you!" My mommy quickly walked off, I guess to find the hosts parents.
"Thanks?" She sure sounded excited, more excited then I was. "So would you guys like to spend the night then?" There were different answers but everyone said a variation of 'yes'. We happened to have a lot of random and spare clothes at the mansion, so it was easier for the hosts to spend the night. After the party had ended we all went and changed, and then played videogames most of the night. Though we slowly went one by one up to our own rooms. Mitsukuni and I had been the first two to go to bed. I, once again, hadn't gotten my daily nap, so I was very tired and grumpy by the time I went to bed. Though the host had been extremely lucky and by some magic Kyouya, Mitsukuni, Kin, and I had woken up early. Otherwise I think that they all would have died. The hosts sure were unlucky to have so many AB blood type people around them…
