Japanese Vacation

Chapter 4-

Groveling

Hikaru looked over at Harry as the class dragged on; the subject was simple, Trigonometry. He leaned over so that he was right by Harry's ear.

"Hey, Harry-chan? Can you give me a hand with this one?" he whispered.

Harry, jumped, and tensed, when Hikaru spoke into his ear. People generally didn't get that close to him. Even Ron and Hermione knew better than to invade his little personal space bubble. Not that said bubble was very big, just extending a few inches from his person . . . especially his head!

"Hikaru-chan, it's not nice to bother Harry-chan while he's trying to do his work," Kaoru pouted.

Hikaru bit his lip. "Oh, well, gomen, Harry-chan."

He found himself to be grateful to the other twin for intervening, however, as he had no idea how to answer the question. He'd never gotten that far in muggle schooling, and what he had done was spent pretending to be dumber than Dudley. Harry spared a quick smile to Kaoru, not that he'd know what it was for, but oh well.

On the other side of the room, Haruhi did her work, every so often looking over at Draco, who looked to be either bored or flustered, she couldn't quite tell which.

"Um . . ." she finally ventured. "Malfoy-san, are you alright?"

Draco tensed when the boy . . . Haruhi if he remembered correctly, spoke. He spared him a quick glance before turning back to his work, debating with himself. Well, asking was better than failing. What would his father say to that?

He sighed. "No actually," he answered, looking back up at him. "I have never been so lost in my life." Oh how it hurt to say those words.

Haruhi smiled sweetly at the blond, "Don't worry. Here let me show you." She went about explaining what everything was and how to work out the equation. After she finished she straightened his paper, "If you ever need help with stuff, don't be afraid to ask me. I don't mind helping and I won't tell anyone you needed help if that's what's bothering you."

Draco smiled at him, not smirked, smiled, gratitude briefly shining in his eyes. He nodded once, not saying just how much he appreciated it. One never knew who was listening after all.

Hikaru leaned back in his chair propping his feet up and holding his pencil with his upper lip. Forgetting he had someone sitting behind him now he was startled when he looked back and was met with a head of bushy brown hair.

"Ah!" He yelped as his chair moved out from under him and he came crashing down to the floor, almost hitting his head on Hermione's desk. "Itai!(1)"

Hermione, bent over her desk, didn't notice anything off until a cry startled her from her concentration in time to see one of the twins' chair fall out from under him.

"Oh dear, Merlin, are you okay?" she asked, rising from her seat, instantly going into what Ron and Harry affectionately called her 'mother hen' mode.

"Hikaru!" Kaoru jumped up and knelt next to his twin. "Are you ok?"

"Bloody hell, that was quite a fall," Ron said, eyes wide in astonishment.

Harry, meanwhile had only just started turning in his seat by the time Hikaru was kneeling by his twin.

"What happened?" he asked.

Hermione shook her head. "His chair slipped out from under him."

Kaoru was helping his twin up with a smile. "Everything's ok."

"Sorry for worrying you Granger-san…I was just startled, not used to having someone behind me." He smiled and rubbed the back of his head, in both pain and embarrassment.

Hermione nodded to Hikaru, heart slowing down as she slid back into her seat, carefully smoothing down her yellow dress (which so did not go with her complexion).

Kaoru looked over to the others. "Why'd you say 'dear Merlin'?" His eyes were confused as he stood their watching the others.

"Slang," Hermione answered, calmly. "It's much cooler to say 'Dear Merlin' than 'Dear Lord.' That was so last century." Hermione rolled her eyes, hoping she wasn't overdoing it. Thankfully, Harry and Ron nodded in agreement.

"Ok?" Kaoru sat in his seat as his brother picked up his chair and sat down.

Haruhi looked over to see the commotion that Hikaru had created, of course the teacher had not so much as blink. "Erg…they can be so much trouble." She rested her head on her hand as her eyes drifted around the room only to stop on Draco as she smiled and a small blush colored her cheeks, not much.

Draco just shook his head at the scene on the other side of the room before turning back to his work. It needed all of his concentration if he wanted to be even halfway decent at it.

Haruhi then shrugged and continued on with her work as she caught sight of Kaoru dozing off in his chair.

Harry sighed in relief as the final bell rang. Quickly, he packed his bags up and stood to stretch, bending over backwards until his back popped. He was not use to sitting in one seat that long.

"You okay, Harry?" Hermione asked from behind him.

Harry tossed a grin over his shoulder as he straightened. "Yeah, just a little stiff. Nothing like Hogwarts."

"I'll say," Ron grumbled. "Don't the teachers know that we need to stretch our legs once 'n' a while?"

"Oh, come on Ron, we're in a different country. Lighten up."

Ron and Harry both blinked at her before sticking a finger in their ears and trying to clean it frantically.

"Harry?"

"Yeah?"

"Did 'Mione just tell us to lighten up?"

Harry nodded. "Yeah, I think she did."

Ron's eyes widened. "The world's ending," he whimpered.

Hermione just huffed, reaching over to smack him over the head. Harry just laughed.

Draco, on the other side of the room, quietly stood and pulled up his bag. After a moment's hesitation, he turned to Haruhi. "Thanks," he said quietly, before hurrying away.

Haruhi smiled and nodded standing and retrieving her things, making her way over to the twins she stood next to them.

"Well now it would be time to great out lovely hime's at the club, come on Kaoru, Haruhi." Hikaru threw an arm around his brother and the smaller girl.

Kaoru laughed and followed along.

"See you later you three…" Haruhi laughed as she was practically dragged off towards the music room.

--2-A—

Kyouya stood and retrieved his things, waiting for Tamaki to do the same. Of course the "King" had other ideas.

"Ne, Weasly-sans, why don't you and your friends come and socialize back at the Host Club?! I'm sure you would all have fun!" His hyper active antics began to grate on Kyouya's nerves like always until he walked passed the three and brought his book bag lightly over the back of Tamaki's head.

"Come on Father it's time to go see our children…" The dark haired youth called Tamaki by the nickname and title he had given himself.

"Oh that's right! Lets go Mother!!" He grabbed Kyouya's arm and rushed out the door, leaving the twins in their wake.

Fred and George stared after the two teens for several seconds before their gazes switched to each other.

"Father?" George asked, eyebrow raised.

"Mother?" Fred responded.

"Either way," George responded, grinning.

"Sounds like fun!" was Fred's response, also grinning.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione left the classroom at a slower pace. Only Harry noticed that there was no sign of Malfoy, but he didn't give it much thought. There wasn't much the blond could do here.

"This is impossible," Ron whined. "I didn't understand any of that."

"It was difficult," Hermione agreed, "but it wasn't impossible. It'll just take a little work to get re-caught up with everyone."

"Us more so than you," Harry said, a small grin on his lips.

"ICKLE RONNIKINS!!"

"Oh no," Ron groaned, reddening as the hall turned to look at the noisemakers.

Harry did his utmost best to get out of the way. He could face Voldemort and Death eaters, but put him in the line of a mischievous Weasley twin and he would run for the hills.

"What do you want?" Ron asked, angry.

"We got an invite to show up to that host club thing," George said.

"We figured. . ."

"What better way to get to know this place . . ."

"Than to get to know them."

"So," George said, wrapping an arm around both Ron and Harry (who was unsuccessful in his escape attempt).

"We thought we'd take them up on the offer," Fred said, his own arm encasing Hermione's shoulder.

"I don't know," Hermione said, biting her lip. "I have homework."

"It can be done later," Fred said, steering her toward the host club's room.

"Yeah, come on. It'll be fun!"

The twins wouldn't take no for an answer, so all three of them found themselves approaching the host club.

Draco silently entered Snape's room, happily noticing that nobody was present at the moment.

"Sensei," Draco said, though he'd been going for 'Professor.'

Damn translation spell, he thought.

Snape glanced up from his work. "Malfoy-san," he said, obviously under the effects himself. "Do you not have a club to attend?"

Draco nodded. "Its better than anything else there is here."

Snape nodded once, waving a hand for him to sit. Draco did so and pulled out a few of his muggle textbooks, he had a lot to catch up on.

Before either of them got far on their self appointed tasks a knock sounded at the door and soon Suoh-sensei, the Dean, stepped in.

"Excuse me Snape-san. We have decided that you should be able to supervise the Host Club, though you won't actually have to do anything. Ohtori Kyouya is quite capable of taking care of finances and such." The older blond man bowed and left the room.

Snape sighed, but stood, motioning Draco to follow. He did, grumbling.

Haruhi sat with a group of girls smiling as they all fawned over her, oh if only they knew that she was really a girl.

Kyouya sat at his desk typing figures into a calculator, his glasses hiding his eyes.

The twins laughed and carried on as the entertained their guests.

Meanwhile Hunni and Mori walked in to the music room from a side room. Hunni yawned a bit and stretched his arms.

"Hello everyone!"

"I'm not going in first," Hermione said, rather firmly. "I have no intention of being . . . descended upon again."

"Well, that's okay," Fred said, turning to look at George. "I'm sure they don't want to be hit again."

Hermione blushed while the other four laughed.

"'Sides," George said, "We weren't planning on sending you in first."

Hermione narrowed her eyes at them.

Then, without warning, they opened the door, and pushed Harry inside.

As the door swung open two sets of hands reached out and each one grabbed one of Harry's hands. As if they were one the Hitachiin's spoke.

"Hello hime." They said as they pulled Harry to them not automatically realizing who he was.

"Welcome to our ship." Hikaru smiled waving a hand around the room. He and Kaoru were wearing matching tan vests with no shirt underneath with black slacks and each had a skull and cross-bones tattoo painted on their right arms. After a pause Kaoru looked down and started to giggle.

"Oh…Harry-chan." He let go of Harry as did Hikaru when he realized and the two burst out laughing. "Gomen, Harry-chan." Kaoru gasped. "We thought you were a customer."

Hikaru held his sides as tears pushed passed his lashes.

Tamaki looked up and waved to the group as some of the girls laughed and awed.

"Oh!! How beautiful!! A few of the girls squealed when they saw the three of them, hearts in their eyes.

Kyouya choose to not even look up.

Harry was frozen, eyes wide, before he frowned, eyes narrowing.

"Fred, George," he said, turning to see the twins entering, Ron and Hermione behind them.

The twins looked back at him innocently enough.

"Don't sleep."

They didn't look bothered, instead, they laughed. "Come now, Harry. You wouldn't do anything to us . . ."

"Now would you?"

"Don't. Sleep."

"I'd listen to him," Ron said, smirking. "Remember who his parents were."

Fred and George paled, eyes widening. They shared a glance before throwing themselves at his feet.

"Oh, forgive us Great One!" George said.

"We knew not what we were doing!" Fred agreed.

"Please spare us your wrath!"

"We do not desire a pranking worthy of the Maurauders . . ."

"Of which you would surely out do."

The two of them clung to Harry's legs, staring up at him with teary eyes, begging, and Harry couldn't help but laugh.

"Get up."

They scrambled to obey.

The girls that were there giggled, several whispers spreading around them as they watched the Harry and the second set of twins.

The twins laughed as the watched the other set of twins. That was one thing they prided themselves on, there was only one person that would upset them like that and that was Kyouya… though he was scary anyways.

Hunni came running over in a bright green parrot suit and spun around in front of Hermione and Ron. "Hello Granger-chan and Weasly-chan!"

Mori was behind him fixing his eye patch and watching Hunni.

Hermione smiled down at him. "Hello," she seemed about to say more, but stopped, realizing she didn't know the kid's name, so she settled for smiling.

"Hey," Ron said, glancing around the room turned ship . . . thing.

The twins, finally noticing something besides Harry (now that he appeared to not be angry anymore), smiled at everyone else.

"What's with . . ."

"The outfits?"

Harry, realizing that everything had just been seen, closed his eyes a moment before turning to actually see the room.

Hikaru waved his hand nonchalantly. "We do this in the after noons sometimes, different themes."

"Today is piriates." Kaoru chimed in.

"Last week was traditional Japanese festivals."

"Last week was an English Tea party."

"And so on." The spoke in unison at the end, both yawning.

Haruhi walked up in a blue and white striped shirt with a black skull cap. "Hey. What are you all doing here?" She tilted her head to one side watching them. Then when she saw Hermione's face and realized she didn't know Hunni-sempai's name. Leaning over she whispered to Hermione helpfully. "His name is Mitsukuni Haninozuka but we all call him Hunni-sempai. Then the tall one is Takashi Morinozuka but we call him Mori-sempai."

Hermione smiled at Haruhi in gratitude. She didn't like not knowing something, especially when it came to the proper things.

Fred and George nodded, eyes appraising the room.

Harry just went to stand by Hermione and Ron, he always felt less uncomfortable with them near.

Kyouya only stopped in his calculations when he heard a knock at the door and it open. Tamaki stood ready to greet who ever it might have been.

All three of them watched, with growing amusement when Tamaki practically pounced on the . . . male that entered the room.

What the hell is Snape doing here? All three of them wondered.

Tamaki knelt down on one knee but before he could even touch or say a word to the person, Kyouya stepped between them and bowed. "Hello Snape-sensei. What is it that we, the Host Club, can do for you?" His tone was official, as if he were talking to a business partner or something.

Tamaki stood up relived that his friend had saved him from making another big mistake. When he looked at the older man his thoughts began to team with images of Nekozawa-sempai and the Black Magic Club.

"Kya!! Please tell me your not from Nekozawa-sempai's Black Magic Club!!" He hid behind Kyouya's shoulder.

Haruhi looked from the group of students to the teacher who had entered until her eyes landed on the blond that was following the older man, Oh so this must be the teacher that is accompanying them here to Ouran. Haruhi nodded agreeing with herself.

Snape began to answer Kyouya, but, upon the blond's outburst, shifted his dark gaze to him. "I know of no ...'Black Magic Club,'" he sneered before dismissing him. "Suoh-san has assigned me as a supervisor." He didn't look very pleased with that, but was obviously not going to say anything about it.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione shared a glance all three of them considering running. They didn't want to spend any more time with Snape than they had to, and if he was going to be with the Host Club, than they were just going to have to avoid it in the future.

Seeing that the others in their trio were thinking the same thing, they all nodded in silent agreement. After today, they would avoid the Host Club.

Kyouya nodded. "Ah yes Suoh-sensei said that you might be here. Please there is an office set up just for you. I am sure that you will be more comfortable there then out here where there are many…" He looked at Tamaki for a moment. "disruptions."

At Kyouya's words Tamaki ran to his corner and began to pout. This only made Kyouya sigh and move out of Snape's way so that he could show him to the office. When Kyouya looked over his shoulder at the Hitachiin twins who had that mischievous look in their eyes his gaze seemed to freeze.

"Kaoru, Hikaru."

"Hai Mother?"

"Go make sure that all of Hunni-sempai's sweets are where they should be."

"But Mother, we have costumers!"

"They can wait," He looked to the aforementioned customers who were a group of young ladies standing by a window. "If you don't mind hime's" When he looked at the girls a certain charisma seemed to roll off of him and the girls only nodded.

The twins grumbled. "Alright…" They began to walk away. "Demon King."

"Cleaning duty all week." With that Kyouya led Snape into the office, leaving the stunned Hitachiin's to came in his wake.

Snape found himself smirking as he followed Kyouya to the office. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. Though, he had to wonder about that 'mother' comment.

Haruhi shivered. "Kyouya-sempai can be so scary at times." She looked at Hermione and the others. "Was that man your sensei?"

"Hai," Hermione answered, sighing as she watched Snape followed Kyouya out of the room. "He's a brilliant sensei, impossible to get along with though. I think he could give Ohtori-san a run for his money in the 'scary' department."

Harry and Ron nodded in agreement.

"Hai," Ron said. "He enjoys it too. It would make his day if he could make someone cry."

Hermione bit her lip. "That's not a nice thing to say, Ron."

"It's true though," he protested. "Think of Neville."

Hermione gave no reply, instead looked to Harry, who shrugged.
