Me: This one has been a long time coming.
Karson27: Yeah. You've been posting one shots lately that have nothing to do with the story line.
Me: I know. I hit a block when it came to this next chapter but I think I've had a break through!
Karson27: Oh joy. What is it?
Me: I'M AWESOME!
MAKE SURE TO REVIEW!
"You'll never believe what happened!" Lily said, running up to Tailyr and I as we left the host club to head home. I'd never seen her so animated before.
"What?" Tailyr asked.
"Hikaru asked me out on a date!" she said, barely managing to keep her voice at a reasonable volume and pitch.
My jaw hit the floor and I thought Tailyr was going to faint. It wasn't that it was THAT big of a shock. It was obvious to anyone that they liked each other as more than just friends but Hikaru had that whole twin complex thing and Lily was just Lily. I'd never seen her act like a giddy teenage girl before.
"No way!" Tailyr said. "That's awesome! What are you going to do?"
"He says he wants to take me to this restaurant and then we're going to the movies," she said. "Oh geez... what should I wear?"
"Karsyn, this one's yours," Tailyr said, chuckling a little.
I thought about it a little in my head, running a checklist through my brain. I wish I knew what restaurant he was planning on taking her to. "Considering the fact that it is Hikaru, I'm surprised he's not picking your outfit out for you," I said lightly. "But, I'd go with dressy casual."
"What's dressy casual?" Tailyr asked, once again, reminding me that she was indeed, a total child and lost without me.
I ignored her question, hoping that she would listen to my suggestion to Lily. "A casual dress would be the best bet and a pair of flats because you can't go wrong with flats."
"I thought dressy casual meant jeans with no holes and clean converse. Who in the hell wears flats? Those hurt," Tailyr said.
I sighed. "You're hopeless. How did you dress for anything while I was gone?"
"It didn't matter what I wore. Takeshi always took it off."
"Tailyr!" Lily scolded. "You shouldn't say things like that in public!"
Lily scolded Tailyr for a few more minutes, explaining appropriate speech and ordering her to not be so vulgar all the time because it wasn't good for a girl like her. Tailyr gave her the sheepish, little kid look and Lily let it go.
"How about us girls go shopping tomorrow after school?" I suggested. "Then we can find you a nice dress and some shoes to match. I'll call Haruhi later and ask her if she wants to come along too."
Lily beamed. "You'd really help me?" she asked. "Awesome! Thanks so much!" She hugged us and ran off toward her house, which was a couple blocks away.
"What is she so happy about?" Marx asked, joining us as our limo pulled up. We climbed in.
"Lily and Hikaru are going on a date so me, Karsyn, and Haruhi are going to take her shopping tomorrow," Tailyr explained.
"Oh."
-Tailyr-
I was half asleep in bed when my phone started ringing. It was late and I was dead tired from shopping all afternoon. I hadn't been napping like I had been. At first, I was napping twice a day. Then it trickled down to once, during lunch, and finally, I'd stopped napping altogether. It was hard but I was getting better.
That didn't mean I was okay with being woken from my half sleep. I was actually a little ticked, especially after I recognized the ring tone as Candyland by Blood On the Dancefloor. Which meant Kaoru was calling me. It was only about midnight.
"What?" I snarled into the phone.
"Sorry Tailyr-sempai. I had to wait until Hikaru fell asleep to call you," he apologized quickly.
"Well, there be a damn good reason. I was shopping with Lily, Karsyn, and Haruhi all afternoon and I'm tired," I warned him.
"There is. I'm in need of your services."
"Call a hooker. I'm spoken for," I snapped.
"Not those services!" he objected. "I need your criminal mastermind. I want to follow Hikaru and Lily on their date and I know that Karsyn-sempai and Kyoya-sempai would be totally against it and we'll get into trouble if they find out. I was hoping that you and Marx-sempai would come along instead. You guys are good at this type of thing."
I sighed, letting my head drop onto my pillow. I had planned on following the date anyway and getting Honey to sit still for that long was out of the question and Takeshi probably wouldn't enjoy going either. Kaoru had a point about Karsyn and Kyoya, as well.
"Okay. I'm in. I'll get Marx to follow along too. You know where they're going for their date?" I asked.
"Ya. A corner bistro for lunch and then to the movies to see a special showing of Hayao Miyuzaki's Howl's Moving Castle because Lily loves that movie," he said.
"The movies will be easy but the corner bistro will involve more tact. Okay. We'll spy. See you tomorrow. Call me again this late, for any reason and I will crucify you on your front lawn. Capeche?" I asked.
He gulped."Yes ma'am. Sorry Tailyr-sempai." He hung up.
"Are you ready?" I asked Kaoru, sounding bored. We were at his house, after Lily and Hikaru had left for their date. He was getting ready to go.
"Yeah," he said. He stepped out of his bathroom, wearing all black, face mask included.
Marx and I exchanged a look and started laughing.
"What?" he asked.
"Not to sound lame, because we all know how much I love a good crime, but we aren't robbing the place. Put on some normal clothes. I haven't gotten arrested here and I'd like to keep it that way. We've got to be discreet."
"Oh. Right." He quickly changed into normal clothes. "I still think we need cool nicknames! Code names because we're spies."
"You're so right!" Marx agreed. "I'm-"
"Accidental Rapist," I interrupted. "That's you."
We all laughed.
"I was thinking more like, Captain Badass."
"Absolutely not. Captain Asshole maybe but there's nothing badass about you," I said. "So Captain Accidental Rapist it is."
Marx stuck his tongue out at me.
"Can I be Master Double?" Kaoru asked.
"What?"
"There's two of me. I want to be Master Double!"
I rolled my eyes. "What ever," I said.
"What about your name?"
"Miss Bi-" Marx began but I punched him in the stomach before he could finish.
"I'm going to be Boss and that's it. Boss and her merry band of freaking retarded weirdos," I said. "Let's go before we miss something good."
We went to the corner bistro and took a table in the far back corner, where we could see them and they wouldn't see us. I notice a group acting a little fishy and nearly dropped my cup of soda.
"Tamaki!" I hissed a little too loud and high pitched but it got the blonde's attention really fast. He turned to look at me, his eyes growing wide.
"Tai-chan!" Honey called, loudly, running over to me.
"Shh!" I said, covering his mouth, looking to see if Lily or Hikaru had heard him. No. Didn't seem like it. "What are you doing here? What are you wearing?"
"A disguise! It's really good huh?" he said proudly.
I sighed. He was wearing some brightly colored, flamboyant shirt and khakis with a gray, sideways mustache and a hat that resembled a sombrero. "Not really Honey," I said.
Takeshi came over. He wasn't dressed too ridiculously. He actually wore normal clothes, sunglasses and a baseball cap. Apparently he did learn a thing or two from me. I was quite proud. "Ah," he said, bending low to kiss me.
"Hey baby," I said, kissing him. "Did Tamaki rope you guys into this?"
"I didn't rope anyone into anything!" Tamaki denied. "They agreed to help me spy on the devil twin and the precious little flower he's taking on a date! I don't want him to try to do something lecherous!"
"My brother isn't lecherous!" Kaoru said.
Oh geez. This was getting out of hand and we were going to get caught if they got any louder. That was a situation that even I wouldn't be able to talk our way out of.
"Pipe down, idiots," Karsyn's voice came. Everyone froze and looked. There was the devil couple themsevles. The last people we wanted to know about our separate covert spy ninja missions. "You're beginning to cause a commotion."
"Perhaps we should move our conversation outside," Kyoya suggested. "People are starting to pay attention."
We hurried out of the bistro. In the alley next to it, Karsyn let us have it.
"I expected this from Kaoru and Tamaki and I can almost fathom Marx and Honey but the rest of you, I didn't think you'd stoop to spying on Hikaru and Lily's date! They're big kids. They'll be fine on their own," Karsyn scolded.
"Tamaki-sempai made me come. He kidnapped me from my house this morning," Haruhi said.
"Then you're forgiven Haruhi," she said. "And the rest of you?"
"Uh," I began.
"I asked her come Karsyn-sempai," Kaoru said apologetically. "I didn't want to follow Hikaru on my own and I knew that Tailyr-sempai would be good at it."
Karsyn looked at Takeshi, waiting for his excuse to be in this situation.
"I made Takeshi come with me," Honey said. "We didn't tell Tai-chan we were coming because we didn't want her to get into trouble."
"Hey, wait a second," I said. "What are you two doing here, anyway?"
"What makes you think we're not on a date?"
"Because that would be one hell of a coincidence."
"Actually, Tailyr-sempai," Kyoya said. "We knew that you guys would try to follow them, whether or not you actually let it slip. So, Karsyn called Lily last night and asked if she knew what their plans for the date were. Of course, Kaoru would know already and Tamaki has probably been following them since they left Lily's house. After Karsyn found out the locations, we came and waited. It didn't take us long."
"We're not as dumb as you seem to think," Karsyn said. "Don't you guys dare do anything to mess this date up. It's best we all go home."
"No way!" Kaoru objected. "I have to watch!"
"I have to protect my precious Lily flower!" Tamaki pleaded, semi-hysterical.
"You do realize she's not actually not your precious anything?" I asked.
"Can we please follow them, Kar-chan?" Honey asked, giving her the doe eyes. Karsyn might have been mean and strict but she was a total sucker for the the big eyes. It was perfect. I could have kissed Honey at that moment. He was brilliant.
Karsyn started, obviously trying to resist the power of the Lolita's cuteness but it was an impossible battle. She caved with a heavy sigh. "Fine. But we have to be super quiet and you are to never ever let Lily know that we followed them – or that I agreed to let you do it."
It was agreed. We went on ahead to the movie theater and waited for them to buy tickets. We all bought ours and sat four or five rows back, in different spots, so that we could watch them.
-Karsyn-
"This would be a nice date, if we weren't having to watch idiots," Kyoya said, putting an arm around my shoulders.
I smiled. "Yeah. A bistro for lunch then an animated movie. Hikaru is really good at planning dates," I agreed. "I wish you were that good."
He chuckled. "That hurts," he said. "Oh dear."
"What?"
"Look."
I turned my head to see Hikaru going in to kiss Lily. If there is a god, no one but Kyoya and I are watching this. I looked around. Tamaki had seen it. He went drama king about it. He was already up and heading toward the isle.
Kyoya and I jumped up but it was too late, Kaoru had jumped four rows and tackled the host club king.
"LET GO OF ME!" Tamaki yelled, trying to kick Kaoru off.
Marx was the next closest one but Tamaki's flailing limbs hit him a little south of the belt and he collapsed to the ground in tears. Takeshi and Honey got there, Tailyr right behind them, who was laughing at Marx.
"Mori-sempai? Tailyr?" Lily yelled. She was on her knees in the seat, turned around to see what the commotion was.
"Kaoru?" Hikaru cried.
"Duck!" I told Kyoya, pulling him to the floor with me. "We can handle the clean up. Let's not become apart of the catastrophe."
"Good idea."
-Tailyr-
Everything went hilariously to hell in a hand basket in a few seconds. Best moment of my life. Totally worth being escorted out and being scolded by Lily for a full thirty minutes later at home. Kyoya and Karsyn, who didn't get caught, managed to talk the theater owner out of banning all of us for life.
That night, I was hanging out in Marx's room, listening him whine over his injured manhood. He was still holding ice on it.
"He didn't hit you that hard," I told him. "You're being a baby, brother."
"No way. I'm never going to be able to have children now!"
"That might be a good thing," Karsyn said.
This was a long one. Haha. I felt like I owed you one since I've taken so long to post anything of relevance. Um... make sure to review and you all need to get onto youtube and look up Justin Robinett and Michael Henry. They will change your lives.
That is all.
