CHAPTER 4

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN OHSHC but if you think I should, please forward that ¦3

Dedicated to Lara and Katrina whose relationships with the twins will no doubt be romanticised. Oh and Katrina talks a lot because she wants to be the centre of attention. I'm trying to post these chapters more frequently and would really love you if you could you know just slip in the "Oh have you read The Exchange by Scarletness" Into a conversation ^w^"

Shout out to: maple lover for reviewing! I GIVES YOU VIRTUAL COOKIEZ!

"I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!" Lara and Katrina shouted along to her iPod, which was turned up as far as it could go. They laughed as they sang out of tune and Paige resorted to beating her head against the car door repeatedly.

"Hikaru, Kaoru. You can now remove them from the limo." Kyoya muttered, glasses glinting again with annoyance. He wasn't one to lose control so readily but these Brits were already grating on his nerves.

"Roger!" They cried, getting out of the limo as quickly as possible, dragging the butt-wiggling girls behind them. The limo drove off again and they waved goodbye before carrying on to the mansion. It was huge. Very huge.

"If I start drooling, hand me some tissue." Katrina told Lara without removing her stare from the architecture.

"Of course. I'm sure there must be a hospital wing in that place if your jaw dislocates." Lara replied; eyeing the shorter's shameless gawping.

"The maids can show you where your rooms are." The two redheads in front of them spoke together, in monotone, speaking in English for the first time which surprised the girls. Katrina pulled a face.

"Oh you kill me with your overpowering hospitality." She muttered, though it was quiet.

"You should consider yourself lucky!" They sang, shrugging together. The syncing was starting to make Lara feel confused and slightly sick.

"Oh my god, I'm so bored. Lara, got any gum?" Katrina muttered as they entered the house.

"Yeah."

"Nom… nom… nom… nom…" She chewed the gum loudly, not bothering to close her mouth while doing so. The strawberry gum looked horrid in her mouth, stretching and sticking. Hikaru thought he might throw up if he stared too long and quickly the twins dismissed themselves. "That was boring." Katrina grinned, spitting the gum out of a window, careful not to get it on her hair as she did so, and walking off in god knows which direction, she has really bad navigation.

Lara watched her leave before realising she was all alone in the entry hall. Sighing, she plopped down her suitcases just to see two freakily symmetrical maids pop out of nowhere.

"J-Jesus Christ." Her eyes widened, though you really couldn't tell behind the glasses she wore.

"I'm lost. I'm officially lost. But I get my awesomeness all to myself, now!" Katrina grinned, but there was no one around to laugh at her or her jokes so she slipped into a quite depression as she roamed her temporary home. So far it was big rooms, big rooms and more big rooms.

Yay.

Note her bounding enthusiasm for the place. She had envisioned the stay in a rich Japanese home to be more exciting but now she was just disappointed. Then she finally spotted life. An overly peppy woman who turned around with a massive grin but had to give poor Katrina the double take with the look 'Did I leave the door open to commoners?'

Katrina didn't blame her. She hadn't bothered to brush her hair properly, instead wasting her time pulling the slightly wavy mess into a high ponytail that was creeping its way out of the hair band. Her attire consisted of nothing less than just a t-shirt stating "my therapist needs me!" and black jeans with holes going down the legs with pink lace beneath. Definitely the furthest from posh and elegant.

Just smile and wave, Katrina, smile and wave. She did as her mind told her to, grinning with her eyes firmly shut and wiggling her fingers at the woman. She definitely was in the righthouse. She hadn't ended up in Australia. There wasn't a mix up. There definitely wasn't a mix up.

"Oh, how cute! You must be Hikaru's partner in the exchange!" The woman suddenly gushed after analysing Katrina. It took a while for the girl to translate it mentally but after a while she responded.

"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Hitachiin!" Katrina just carried on smiling, triggering the tune 'just keep swimming' to go off in her head, making her grin like an idiot even more.

Ah, Mother. You found one of the commoners." Came two identical voices. Katrina twitched. What is this, a game? Poor Lara.

"Yes! Your commoner friend is very cute!"

"C-commoner?" Katrina whispered darkly, an enraged glint in her eye. To answer any questions right now, yes she is on her period and by all rights she had the right to blow off about small stuff whenever she wanted and even punch rich people. But she didn't. She just stood there glaring at them, transmitting death via brainwaves.

"Yes. Commoner." Making sure this was the time their mother was disinterested in the conversation and had walked off for work, Katrina launched herself at one of the twins.

"I'M NOT A COMMONER! I'M A MIDDLE CLASS, ENGLISH CITIZEN WITH EQUAL RIGHTS!" Wind was blowing, shit was flying and the twins thought a tornado had come out of her mouth.

"I thought I heard someone screaming about equal rights. Surprise, surprise." Lara suddenly appeared behind them, peering over their shoulders at Katrina with a grin. Then I'm not entirely sure what happened. There was a lot of screaming, ranting and aloof replies jumbled up in violence, threats and hysterical laughing. But I wasn't really paying attention. And so we carry on.

"I'm so bored. I mean really bored, not just bored, but so bored I could kill somebody because their death would be so much more amusing than this." Katrina was such a nice child.

"If you're bored, let's play the 'Which one is Hikaru Game'!"

"The who in the what now?" They started talking rapidly in Japanese and Katrina nearly missed all of it but proceeded to tell them how dumb it sounded anyway.

"Can you at least translate? I think you're forgetting about poor old me here!" Lara wept, sitting by herself on a chair with no experience in the Japanese language.

"Oh yeah. We, referring to us, play, referring to a trivial way of passing time, game which is a format of passing time," Katrina paused as if to let it sink in after speaking so slowly then her pace quickened to that of a maddened speaking machine. "Also trivial in itself since we have to guess which one is which but I don't even know which one is which anyways or their names or anything so basically we're stuffed."

"Kaoru, did you catch any of that?"

"None of it."

"At least I don't feel so stupid knowing you can't understand them either…"

"It's rather unfortunate I can understand you, though!" Applaud Katrina's troll face, everyone!

"Yeah, again. I feel left out." This time Lara glared at the three of them but the twins just shrugged.

"Are we going to play the game or what?"

"Oh yeah. Just guess which one is Hik-what and Ka-duck." Katrina grinned at her friend, while feeling glares on her back when she gave them their own very special nicknames. But she honestly couldn't remember their names.

"Um… Hik-what and Ka-duck?" Lara said, unsure, pointing to them in order which she said.

"BZZT! You're wrong!"

"Huh? But I could have sworn the one on the right was the man in their relationship." Katrina muttered, looking between them with a bout of confusion. An awkward silence ensued.

"Mori-sempai, Hani-sempai yours is the last stop."

"Yay! When we get home, I'm going to show you all around our home and my cakes and then we and Usa-Chan can eat the cakes and-"

"Yeah, can't understand that."

"I think I heard cake but it sounded more like 'cakie'…"

Not everyone can speaketh le Japanese. Next chapter it'll be Mori and Hani :D I may even get to squeeze in Kyoya. After that, we should start moving faster. R&R like your lives depend on it! Thanks for adding this story to your alerts and favourites, guys! It means a lot!
