Chapter 9 – Rehearsal (Part 1)
*woot woot!* 500 hits! Hehe! Thanks guys!
I'm really sorry I haven't updated in ages! I'm gonna try update a few times before next week.
Kiyoshi POV
Today was going to be my first dance meeting with the Host Club. We were going to be 'discussing progress' and practising. I didn't know how that was going to work since Kaoru and I were the only pair, but I decided to just forget about that. I made sure to wear flats though, just so I didn't make myself look bad. I grabbed my guitar and started to walk to school at a slower pace than the day before. It was a nice day, a definite contrast to the rain yesterday. I put on my iPod and hummed to the first song that came on. I was definitely in a good mood.
When I got to school I went straight to class and sat down at my desk. I didn't know where to put my guitar so I put it under my desk. I could have put it in Music Room 3 but I felt better keeping it with me. I was early so I sat and waited for everyone else to arrive. Tamaki waved to me when he walked in but we didn't get a chance to talk as the teacher came in straight after him. We had French first so I didn't have to do anything again. I just sat there working on my new piece until I saw Tamaki making his way through a big group of girls asking for his help to get to me. I hid my piece under my arms and covered my eyes. When Tamaki got to me, he gave me a beautiful smile and I returned it with plain, average smile.
'You bought your guitar! I can't wait to hear you play later! You are coming aren't you?'
His emotions changed so quickly. It nearly made me laugh but I managed to keep a straight face.
'Of course I'm coming Senpai! As long as I don't trip over of course...'
'Yay! You'll get to practice your dance with Kaoru. Don't let those devilish twins scare you though!'
'Umm, okay then...'
The lesson finished then and we went onto our next lesson. Tamaki had to go back to his seat and I was left thinking about his comment about the 'devilish twins'. I decided to just ignore it until later.
As the end of the day arrived, I packed up my bag and decided to go to the library until 5. I didn't really want to go home and I had bought my guitar with me so I just needed something to do until then. I picked out a book (AN – Let's imagine it's a manga book... How about Fruits Basket? She can find out about the uncanny resemblance of Hunny and Momiji) and put on my iPod. I was so absorbed by the book – well, actually, just the way how one... or more of the characters reminded me of the Host Club... (AN – Hatori's a bit like Kyoya, right?) - that by the time I actually looked up, it was 5 on the dot. And the Host club was on the other side of school! I was gonna have to run... Hoping all the way that I wouldn't fall.
I managed it! I only fell about 3 times! And I didn't cause myself (or anyone else) any serious injury! I didn't get how one person could be so clumsy yet be able to dance quite well. I was only 10 minutes late but when I walked in everyone was just sitting around except for Tamaki who was in his Corner of Woe.
'KIYOSHI!!! You came! I thought you weren't going to come or that something bad happened to you! I was so worried!'
Tamaki grabbed me and gave me a huge hug. I guess I was the reason he was in his corner.
'Sorry Senpai. I was in the library and I was reading and I forgot the time. I'm absolutely fine. That's why I didn't wear heels today.'
I tried to give him a weak smile which was kind of hard as he was still squeezing me to him.
'Ummm, Senpai, I think you're squishing Kiyoshi.'
Phew, I'm glad Haruhi noticed. He let go of me and I smoothed my hair down.
'Yay! Kiyo Chan! You bought your guitar!'
'Oh, yeah! I'll play you something today.'
'Ahem. It's great that she bought her guitar but shouldn't we focus on our competition?'
'You're right Kyoya! So, everyone! How's it going?'
'Senpai, we don't have partners. How can we do anything?'
He retreated to his corner again.
'I think we should let Kiyoshi and Kaoru practice for an hour. Then we can come back and hear her play. Is that okay Tamaki?'
That was Kyoya's suggestion; he was always making sure Tamaki was happy.
Tamaki's mood improved again.
'Kyoya! What a good idea! Let's go everyone!'
Everyone filed out except for the twins. They looked kind of intimidating and Tamaki's words rang through my mind. I put down my bag and guitar to the side, and then looked at them again. They were still in the same position, one leaning on the other. They just looked me and I looked back at them. I thought about how I thought I knew which one was which. They had different personalities; I could see it in their eyes.
Suddenly Hikaru said,
'Kaoru's mine you know.'
Ooh! What's gonna happen? I haven't finished this chapter (that's why it's gonna be in 2 parts) but I thought I should put something up.
