-V. Banned-
Before we went to the Host Club the next day, I made sure to put my bag in my locker. No one's stealing that again, I thought. Unless they break into my locker... Okay, now I'm just getting paranoid.
Right when we walked into Music Room 3, Hikaru and Kaoru pulled us aside.
"Did you hear anything..." "...about who stole your bag?" they asked me.
I shook my head.
They nodded for us to follow them.
We shrugged and followed. What were they going to show us? Had they found something out?
They led us over to Tamaki, who was sitting with Ayanokoji. I could hardly look at her. I felt like, if I did, she'd kill me with one glare. In retrospect, I probably just should've shoved Sarah over there and had her Bennet Look Ayanokoji to death. It probably would've worked. Who knows?
I glanced around and suddenly realized that the entire Host Club was standing around Peggy, Sarah, and I.
O-kay... I thought.
"What's going on?" Ayanokoji asked.
Took the words right out of my head, I thought.
"I think you know very well what's going on," Kyoya said, adjusting his glasses.
"Uh, no I-"
"You must think we're dumber than we seem."
"What are you-?"
"Did you really think we wouldn't figure it out?" Kyoya pulled a stack of photos out of his blazer pocket and held them out for us all to see. They depicted Ayanokoji stealing my bag from under the table in the music room, and throwing it into the pond outside the building.
"You're the one that threw Kelsey's bag in the fountain," Kyoya continued, "aren't you? You should know that Ouran Academy does not tolerate bullying."
Ayanokoji looked up at him angrily.
I have to say, I wasn't all that surprised that she was the culprit. But I was surprised that the hosts had found out so quickly. They must have some crazy good sources, I thought. Either that or I'm just being blonde. Or they have spies. Or something.
"And I think you know about my family's secret police and the authority it has over this school."
And I was very surprised by that comment of Kyoya's!
"Ayanokoji, I'm very disappointed. It turns out that you just aren't classy enough to be our guest, my dear," Tamaki said, standing. "I must ask you to leave the Ouran Host Club."
"Yeah, you meanie!" Honey chimed in, sticking his tongue out at her.
Ayanokoji glared at all of them, then at me. "Why is she so important?" she cried, pointing an accussatory finger at me.
I resisted the instinct to flinch away from her.
"She's just a commoner!"
"Who shows..." "...that beauty is more than skin deep," Hikaru and Kaoru said.
I looked at them. What did they mean by that? I wondered. And, honestly, I never though I'd hear any of the hosts say anything like that, even after the few days I'd been there.
"More than that," Tamaki said, "she's our friend."
"And she's our best friend," Peggy said, stepping forward.
"I think you're jealous of her beacause she's Tamaki-senpai's friend, and he wasn't paying as much attention to you," Sarah said.
Ayanokoji started stuttering in protest.
"I see more than you think," Sarah added, smirking in that way she had. (See? The Bennet Look... Or one of them, at least.)
"As do we all," Kyoya said.
"You mess with her again, and I'll mess with your face!" Sarah and I grabbed Peggy and held her back as she made a grab for Ayanokoji.
After Ayanokoji ran off, in tears and yelling "Tamaki, you're an idiot!" (Psh! What a drama queen!), I looked around at everyone. "Okay, really, was that necessary? I mean, she just threw my bag in the fountain. She didn't beat me up or anything..."
They all looked at me, then laughed.
I smiled a little and shook my head.
"You're our friend, Kelsey," Tamaki said, smiling.
I blushed a little, and smiled back.
Kyoya was, yet again, scratching something into his notebook.
"Kyoya-senpai?" I asked. "Does your family really have a...secret police force?"
He chuckled. "Yes, we do," he said.
Oy, I thought. We have a lot to learn about these people.
"Senpai, thank you," I said to Tamaki. "Thank you all. Nothing like that's really ever happened to me before, so I've never had to to have my friends react to it."
Not quite a lie, really.
"Because they had..." "...Peggy and Sarah to answer to?" the twins asked.
Peggy laughed, but I saw her blush a little.
"Got that right!" Sarah said.
"Does this mean...we're all friends now?" Tamaki asked excitedly.
He reminds me of something, I thought. But what?
"Like one big, happy family?"
"I've got it," I said, snapping my fingers.
He looked at me.
"You're like a puppy," I said, pointing at him.
He whimpered, then fled to the nearest corner.
I ran my hand through my hair. "What'd I say?" I asked.
"Don't take it personally," Hikaru said.
"The boss is just sensitive," Kaoru said.
"Sensitive...about being likened to a puppy?" Sarah asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Tama-chan's just like that," Honey said.
Yes, I thought as I watched the twins annoy Tamaki out of his corner. Lots to learn.
3_3_3_3_3
"She thinks I'm like a puppy! And they all agree!" Tamaki wailed later that day to the other hosts.
"And...this is bad...?" Kyoya asked.
"Yes!" Tamaki said. "How can you not see how bad this is? !"
"Maybe because..." "...Kyoya-senpai's smarter than that?" the twins tried.
Tamaki glared at them and they grinned.
"Kelsa-chan's all our friend now, Tama-chan. And Peggy-chan and Sarah-chan, too," Honey said.
"Mm-hmm," Mori said, nodding.
"Is your friend thinking you're like a puppy really so bad?" Honey continued.
"Yes!" Tamaki cried. "This is terrible...!"
Honey just sighed and went back to playing with Usa-chan.
"They probably think..." "...we're all like some kind of animal," the twins said.
"Oh, yeah?" Tamaki asked. "Well, what animal would they say Kyoya was?"
They all looked at Kyoya, who pretended not to notice. There were several long moments of silence as they thought this over.
"An owl," Honey said.
Kyoya chuckled, shaking his head. "And you, Honey-senpai?" he asked. If the comment about being like an owl offended him, he didn't show it.
Now all eyes were on Honey. He clutched Usa-chan to his chest and looked at them worriedly.
"A pomeranian," Hikaru said.
"A really fluffly one," Kaoru added.
Honey thought for a moment, then giggled. "Those are cute!" he said happily.
"And Mori-senpai would be..." "...a husky."
Mori glanced at them, cracking a small smile. (A rare sight for the Host Club.)
"Well, I think you, Hikaru and Kaoru, would be...two Siamese cats," Tamaki said.
The twins grinned, and it was almost as if tails could be seen swishing around behind their backs.
A silence fell over the Host Club members. Kyoya even stopped writing in his book. Three days, and already these new members had shaken things up.
And now all the hosts were wondering the same thing: Where will things go from here?
XD Yeah...the animal thing... I came up with them myself except for Honey's and Mori's. Those I took from their profiles in the manga, so they belong to Bisco Hatori xD I happened to remember that part of their profiles, and thought it would be funny for Tamaki to spaz about being likened to a puppy instead of being called obnoxious. I don't think I'd have the heart to tell anyone (most likely not Tamaki) they were obnoxious to their face. XD
Anywhoo, hope you enjoyed the chapter! Sorry it was short! More coming soon ^.^
