Nin-Chan: Hola everyone! And how are you on this fine day? Here is the next chapter in my Kyouya story and I have to say, I'm really amazed as to how many people have add my story to their favs/alerts. I just wanted to say thank you to all who have read my story and are coming back for more! So yay to you all! And I also have some terrible news! The motivation to write this story is slowly spiraling down. I already know how I want to end this story and I already know that there is going to be a sequel if you guys want one. But the problem is that if I put my ideas into the story right now, it would end at exactly 10 chapters and I have a feeling that it would end to fast. So now I have to think even harder to put in fillers and change things so that I can still have my perfect ending. So if you guys would be so kind as to help me out and maybe message me some ideas I would love you guys forever. And if you don't want to I completely understand. Well then, wow I certainly did type a lot…and I haven't even started the story yet…sorry about that, next time I'll just let Taka-nii talk.
Mori: …
Nin-Chan: …right so, Hikaru, Kaoru if you would be so kind…
Twins: Ninja-Chan does not own anything pertaining to Ouran High School Host Club
Nin-Chan: Thank you, now onto the story and I apologize for any spelling/grammatical errors. Oh, and I know that this isn't the order that things happened, but it's my story and I can do whatever I want. So there! :P
Chapter 5: Reminiscing
It's been a while since the incident with Kyouya on the Ferris wheel. I can't say exactly how long it's been because in all honesty, I have better things to do in my life then just sit and mope about what almost happened…okay so I sulked here and there but I didn't spend my day counting the hours since it happened. HONEST!
But anyways, it's currently winter break, and I have to tell you that it's been hectic with the club up to this point. This new chick, Renge I believe was her name has now become our new manager. I have to say thought, being around her and her crazy cackle is starting to make me go even more insane than I already am.
Then there was that incident with some kid from the elementary school, I forgot his name -.-", coming over to the host club asking Tamaki of all people for advice. But when we realized that all he wanted to do was to please is friend/crush, it made sense why he came to the host club in the first place and we were more than happy to oblige. Some more than others, *cough*Tamaki*cough*.
Oh! And a week before that the twins had the HUGE fight and dyed their hair different colors, and threw things at each other. I have to admit, although it was kinda funny to see them try and fail to be different and even when they where fighting they could STILL say everything at the exact same time, I was immensely pissed when they revealed that it was all just a joke to get Haruhi to let them come over. Oh, how I would hate to be her sometimes.
And the last thing that I can remember that happened was when we went to the Ootori's Tropical Aqua Garden.
*FLASHBACK*
Haruhi and I were walking out of the gates of Ouran Academy. I was gonna go over to her house so we could both study together. But as we were walking out, the twins suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed us.
"Targets," said Kaoru.
"Captured," finished Hikaru.
Just then a limo pulled up in front of us. The window rolled down to reveal…Tamaki?
"Good job. Now take them with you," he ordered the twins.
"Roger that, boss." The twins replied, saluting as they dragged us way from Tamaki, and into another limo. And that was the last thing I remember before they knocked me out.
*A few moments later*
"Ngh," I moaned as I sat up.
'What the hell happened?" I thought, as I racked my brain for possible answers. Then it hit me.
'Oh those devil twins are so gonna get it when I lay my hands on them. Come to think of it, where are they? And more importantly where am i?' I thought frantically as I looked at my surroundings.
I was surrounded by racks and racks of swim suits, all neatly placed one after the other. I looked around in question and didn't notice the presence behind me until it spoke.
"Oh Miss Akira! Your awake, how lovely," someone from behind me said, scaring me out of my wits.
I turned around to see who had startled me. It was a young girl dressed in a maids outfit.
"Now we can get you dressed," said the maid with an evil gleam in her eyes.
'This can only end badly." I thought as I tried to scramble away from her. But alas, it did me no good, for I was soon in her evil clutches.
Sometime later I was dressed in a sky blue two piece with pink stars running along the left side. And while the devil maid had been shoving swim suits in my arms to try on I had finally found Haruhi, who was in the same sort of situation I was.
'I don't have to guess whose maids those where. The evil glint in their eyes and the fact that the maids are twins gives it away.' I thought maliciously, as I walked out of the changing room with Haruhi, who was sporting a red and pink one piece.
When we walked out of the changing room we were met with a very pink faced Tamaki, who got even redder at the sight of Haruhi.
'Well, it seems as though I'm going to have to play a bit of matchmaking.' I thought evilly, as I looked from a very flustered Tamaki to a shy looking Haruhi.
"Here," Tamaki said holding out green shorts and a yellow hoodie to Haruhi. "Just hurry up and put it on. A proper young woman should not show that much skin until after she's married." He muttered and looked in my direction.
I could tell by just looking at his face that he only planned on making Haruhi cover up, but, being the kind of smart idiot he is, to make him look less suspicious of his feeling for Haruhi, he pulled another outfit, which consisted of black shorts and a purple hoodie, and shoved it in my hands, giving me the same speech he gave Haruhi.
After Haruhi and I put on our 'innocence savers', as Tamaki would like to call them, we walked to where the host club was and looked around. We where at what looked like some type of resort, complete with waterslides, exotic animals, and that nice tropical feel.
"Where are we?" Haruhi asked me.
I shrugged, just as clueless, "To hell if know."
"This place is a brand new theme park that my family, The Ootori Group, runs," Kyouya's 'I'm better than you and don't deny it' voice chimed in. "It's called The Tropical Aqua Garden."
Haruhi looked at him confused. "But wait, I thought the Ootori Group ran hospitals and that they're focused on the medical business, Kyouya-Senpai.
"Yes," he said. "But my family likes to diversify and try different things. Besides, this place could be classified as a healing facility. The Ootori Group's primary concern, after all, has always been for the good health and well being for the general public."
"And," I chimed in. "Let's not forget that the Ootori Family has plenty of money and are not afraid to show it off."
Kyouya glared at me. "Well at least I'm not jealous of someone else's wealth."
I scoffed, "Jealous? Hardly! I couldn't care less about your money even if I tried."
Oh yea, did I forget to mention that Kyouya and I haven't been getting along since after our little field trip to the carnival? Well, now you know. We've been getting into a lot of fights lately. Sometimes over the stupidest things! I remember one time we were fighting over what shade of purple the new tea set should be. I know ridiculous right? Oh and there is the tiny, minuscule detail that I might still be wearing the necklace he gave me. In fact I never take it off. But I don't wear it because he gave it to me. Of course not! I wear it because…it uh looks nice and goes with everything I wear. So yea, moving on.
"Haru-Chan, Aki-Chan, do you wanna have some coconut juice with me? Or do you wanna try a piece of the mango cake." Hunny asked excitedly.
"You had me at Aki-Chan, Hunny-Kun. Let's go get some cake." I said smiling.
Hunny's face lit up like a Christmas tree as he dragged me with him to have some cake.
"Yum! This is soo good!" I exclaimed as I tasted the cake. I finished it off quickly and made my way back to Haruhi as Hunny-Kun ran back over to Taka-nii, yelling something about a current pool. I could tell that she didn't want to be here right now, and in all honesty, I felt the same.
"Haruhi! Akira!" Kaoru shouted as he and his twin made their way over to us. "Do you wanna go check out the waterslide?"
We were about to respond when Hikaru interrupted us.
"Hang on," he said. "What's up with those pull-overs you're wearing?"
Haruhi and I sighed and told them the story of the flustered Tamaki. When we were done they looked at us incredulously.
"So you're not going to swim?" Hikaru asked as he threw his finished banana peel to the side.
"Wait. You do swim right?" Kaoru questioned.
Haruhi and I sighed again. "Yea guys we can swim." I pointed out.
"But we don't find this 'fun'" Haruhi said. "We are just going to spend the day goofing off. Honestly we'd rather be home." We both mushroom sighed.
"Yea we have a ton of homework and studying to do." I told them, exasperated.
"And not to mention, I have to do the laundry too." Haruhi pointed out.
Then the twins and Haruhi got into and argument about plastic pools and other things. But I tuned them out and looked around.
'I have to admit, this is really nice, and not to mention relaxing. Leave it up to the Ootori family to create something like this.' I thought gazing at the tall palm trees and the bright colored birds.
"Well you seem to be enjoying yourself." A voice said in my ear.
I spun around, only to be met by dark eyes.
"Well, as much as it pains me to admit it, your family did a splendid job Kyouya. I'm impressed."
He smirked. "Why thank you Akira. But really, would you expect anything less?"
I glared at him. "I just paid you a complement. Don't use it to fuel your own ego."
He chuckled, "Alright, alright."
"Haru-Chan, Aki-Chan," Hunny-Kun exclaimed, running towards us. "Do you wanna go swimming with me?"
"No thanks Hunny-Senpai, I don't feel like swimming today." Haruhi said, bored.
"Okay Haru-Chan," Hunny-Kun muttered dejectedly. "What about you Aki-Chan?"
"I'll swim with you later, okay?" I asked smiling at him.
"Okay," he beamed.
"Hold on Hunny-Senpai. You know how to swim; do you still need that float?" Haruhi asked.
Hunny shook his head smiling, "Just looks cuter this way, you know?" and with that he pranced away to go find Taka-nii.
I looked after him, smirking. "Sometimes his innocent demeanor makes me forget how smart he is."
"Hmm," Kyouya said from beside me.
Suddenly the ground shook and a familiar cackle resonated through the garden.
'Oh great, Miss Otaku Manager is here. And my sanity slips away from me yet again.' I thought miserably. 'And here is where I tune out.'
I tuned out the conversation between Haruhi, Kaoru, Tamaki, Hikaru, Kyouya, and Miss Insane. It seems that they were talking about Hunny-Kun's motives for wearing the float.
'Talk about a boring subject to talk about. But considering I have nothing else to do, I might as well wait until their little talk is done.'
When Miss Insane was finish giving her little speech about Hunny and then disappeared once again underground, the twins were trying to coax Tamaki into joining their water gun fight.
"Why would I want to subject myself to a childish game like that?" Tamaki asked.
Queue evil smirks.
"Haruhi, I think it's about time that we got married." Hikaru said smirking.
"Then we can Honeymoon in Fiji." Kaoru declared.
Queue upset Tamaki.
"You leave my daughter alone! If you think I'd let her marry you you're sorely mistaken!" Tamaki exclaimed, grabbing a water gun and ensuing a full out water war.
I sighed as I took a seat next to Kyouya, who we scribbling things into his little book.
'Does he ever put that thing down?' I sighed again.
"Something bothering you?" Kyouya asked, not looking up from his book.
"No. I was just wondering, do you ever put that thing down." I questioned, gesturing to his book.
"On occasion."
"Okay. And what do you write in it?"
He looked up at me smirking. "Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Uh yea, that's kinda why I asked." I claimed, as I got up to try and read over his shoulder.
But to my disappointment he only stood up and continued to write.
'Curse me and my shortness.' I angrily shouted in my head. He was too tall for me to read over his shoulder now.
I huffed at him and he only smiled in reply.
We abruptly heard Tamaki yelp and a smack. We turned around to see that Tamaki had face planted into a totem pole, which was glowing menacingly.
I heard a rumbling coming from the current pool. I swiftly turned my head just in time to see a huge wave heading straight for Hunny.
"Hunny!" I exclaimed, running towards him.
I jumped in, shielded his body with mine, and told him to hold his breath just before we were swallowed by the wave.
I reached the surface of the water gasping for air with Hunny. We swam to the edge of the pool and pulled ourselves out.
I looked around only to find jungle. Jungle and alligators.
"Eep!" I screamed as Hunny and I ran, ran fast and far.
"Oh great! Now we are seriously lost!" I shouted, frustrated.
"It's okay Aki-Chan! We'll find the others soon!" Hunny said happily, as he grabbed my hand and walked through the lush plants.
We've been walking for sometime and still haven't found any sign of the others.
I sighed, 'This is hopeless.'
I was about to voice my thoughts to Hunny when I heard something.
"Target has been captured by a suspicious figure." A voice said.
"Hey, Hunny-Kun, did you hear that?" I whispered.
He nodded and motioned for me to follow him as he climbed a tree and grabbed a vine.
'I've always wanted to do this.' I thought gleefully as I peered through the trees. Down on the ground I saw Taka-nii and Haruhi surrounded by men in black uniforms.
'Now what could be going on here?' I thought as I waited for Hunny's signal.
"Takashi, Haru-Chan, outta the way!" Hunny yelled as a swung from the trees.
'I guess that's my queue.' I thought as a swung from the tree, Tarzan style, and landed next to Hunny on the ground.
"Hey," one guy questioned. "What'd you pip-squeaks think your doing?"
"Well I guess you apparently don't know who you're dealing with." I said as I disappeared and reappeared behind the man and knocked him out.
Hunny and I flipped, kicked, and threw the guys until there were none left standing.
"Picking on my friends is bad! Got it?" Hunny exclaimed.
"Yea," I agreed.
"Haruhi!" Tamaki yelled as he, Kyouya, and the twins ran towards us. "Are you alright?" he questioned as he pulled her into a hug.
"I don't know what happened here," the twins said. "But at least their still alive. It's amazing that this is Hunny-Senpai and Akira-Chan's work. It seems like they were really holding back."
"What'd you mean they were holding back?" Haruhi asked surprised.
'Ugh,' I sighed. 'Here they go again talking about something I already know. It's time to tune out for a while. Oh look at that bird, its soo pretty. And look at that flower! And oh is that a tiger lily? Those are my favorites.'
"We humbly apologize!" one of the men said, breaking me out of my thoughts. I looked over to see that all of the men had bowed down. "We are in you're debt."
"Is something the matter?" Hunny asked them men on the floor.
"Yes sir. We are terribly sorry sir. We were not informed that we were searching for Mitsukuni Haninozuka and Akira Morinozuka. We have committed a terrible crime. But at least my dojo will be excited to hear that I have come face to face with the great Mitsukuni Haninozuka and the 'Black Shadow' of the Morinozuka family. I deeply cherish this moment." One another guy said frantically.
"Takashi!" Hunny said patting Taka-nii's head. "Good job on protecting Haru-Chan. I bet you we pretty lonely with me huh?"
"I don't know if I'd say that." Taka-nii said.
I smiled. At least we all got back together unscathed.
"Akira-Chan!" The twins exclaimed. "What happened?"
I looked at them confused, "What'd you mean what happened?"
"Aki-Chan! You're head! It's bleeding!" Hunny exclaimed worriedly.
I reached up to the back of my head and felt a sticky wet substance. Huh, so I was bleeding. And come to think of it, I'm kinda getting dizzy.
The world seemed to spin around me as I fell into someone's arms. And the last thing I saw before I passed out was…
"Kyouya…"
*END FLASHBACK*
I woke up in the hospital a few hours later to find the host club looking at me expectantly.
I had apparently hit my head on the bottom of the pool when the wave had crashed over me and Hunny-Kun. It's amazing I didn't feel anything. But then again I have always been oblivious to a lot of things.
I doorbell rang, pulling me outta my thoughts. Oh yea, I forgot to tell you that today is Christmas Eve! Yea and the host club decided that they would all come over to Taka-nii and my house to celebrate.
I rushed down the stairs and shooed away the maid that was about to open the door. I opened the door to reveal the host club dressed in red and green and the occasional white here and there.
"Hey guys! Come in come in!" I yelled excited as I ushered them into the living room we a big Christmas tree was set up.
They put their presents underneath the tree; we had decided to do the whole Secret Santa thing, and sat down on the couches by the fireplace.
We talked and shared stories and before we knew it the clocked chimed twelve and it was Christmas day. We wished each other a Merry Christmas, talked some more, and drank hot chocolate.
We all excitedly grabbed our presents and ripped them open. Hunny-Kun gave Taka-nii bitter-sweet chocolate, Taka-nii gave Hunny-Kun strawberry cake, Hikaru and Kaoru gave each other silly string, I gave Haruhi 3 of the books she's been dieing to get, Haruhi gave Tamaki a white teddy bear, Tamaki gave Kyouya new pens and notebooks, which left only me, and I didn't have to guess who my Secret Santa was.
I have to say, I was a little bit weary opening the gift from Kyouya. 'I wonder what he got me.'
"Got on Akira-Chan," the twins said excitedly. "Open it!"
"No thanks, I'll open it later." I looked at the clock, 10 o'clock. "Well guys, it's been great having you over, but I think you guys should go home to spend Christmas with you're families."
The hosts were reluctant to get up, eyeing my unopened present warily. It seemed that they all wanted to know what was in it. But they, Tamaki, Haruhi, the Twins, and Hunny, got up anyways gathered their stuff and left, shouting 'goodbyes' and 'Merry Christmas's.
Kyouya stayed for a few seconds longer before gathering his stuff and saying goodbye to me and Taka-nii.
As he passed me he whispered, "I hope you like it." Before he opened the front door and closed it behind him.
I was the only one left in the room; Taka-nii had got up and said something about food. I pick up my present from Kyouya. It was a small box wrapped with black wrapping paper with a purple bow on top. I picked up the card taped to the bottom of the box.
Akira,
I'm sorry I've been such a jerk to you lately. I hope this makes up for it. Merry Christmas.
Kyouya
P.S. I like your necklace
I blushed slightly at the last statement. Yes, I was still wearing the necklace he gave me on the day of the carnival. What can I say, I really liked it. And I guess the fact that he gave them to me made them a little bit more special…anyways.
I opened the small box to reveal a pair of emerald heart shaped earrings. I gasped. They were soo pretty.
I smiled to myself. 'Well Kyouya, you sure do know how to make me fall harder for you.' I thought as I watched the earrings sparkle in the sun.
Nin-Chan: And end scene. Phew! I'm exhausted! I practically stayed up all night typing this thing. I'm soooooooooooooooo sorry that this is crap. I personally don't like this chapter all that much. But you should tell me with you thought of it. And remember flames will be welcomed with open arms. So give me your best shot! :D And thank you to all of those people who have read my story and to those who reviewed. You guys are awesome.
Hunny: I liked the chapter Nin-Chan! I especially liked the part where I got cake!
Nin-Chan: I knew you would. :] Review and I will virtually send you strawberry cake! Until next time! Ja ne!
