I'm not exactly sure where Ouran Academy would be, but I'm just randomly placing it not extremely far away from Tokyo. I will be using Hikaru and Kaoru's POV to show the main characters progress in becoming more sociable. Again R&R please!
The plane touched down in Tokyo at what would be 9 am L.A. Time yesterday. Wow that was confusing to say.
Thanks to the measures I took the night before, I was well rested and didn't feel any of the pinched nerves from a usual red eye flight.
It was 1 pm in Tokyo. It will take some time to actually get used to the different time zone. Before I left my terminal I bought myself a Monster energy drink just to ensure I show no signs of jet lag and headed for baggage claim.
I grabbed my single bag and waited. I was supposed to wait for my host family to pick me up here.
Instead of my host mother or father or even my host siblings, two women, dressed similarly, with the same facial expression, and same... well, everything! They were twins, but I was sure that Kaoru and Hikaru were more boy-ish names. In fact, I was sure that the paper that I had said that my host siblings were boys.
The two ladies walked to where I was sitting and asked very clearly to me, "Are you Miss Lily Ayre?"
"Hai, watashi Lily Ayre desu." I said. I was so glad I knew enough Japanese to keep me from being absolutely hopeless.
"Follow us." The two women said in unison.
I got up and was about to take my baggage, but one of the ladies had already taken it, I reached for my backpack and saw that the other lady had it on her shoulder.
The women soon turned around and walked in almost a swift manner. I quickened my pace to keep up with them. Soon enough we arrived to a black limo with tainted windows. One of the women opened a door for me. This treatment was so different for me, I wasn't poor, I was in the upper middle class.
But this was a completely different experience. These people were millionaires! Maybe even richer!
Can't believe I got matched up with these people. The company I'm going through with this exchange program said they would try to find the best match possible for me. And the Hitachin's, the clothing brand I have come to know and love, are my best match for taking care of me. Don't pinch me if I'm dreaming.
On our way to the residents of the famed Hitachin's, I learned that the two women were actually my host siblings twin maids, I would be attending at Ouran Academy, and that I will be placed in class 1A, the same as Kaoru and Hikaru.
We arrived at the mansion I was showed around, just so I wouldn't get lost. My room was right next to a bathroom, one of the five and a half they had. My room was also near Hikaru and Kaoru's rooms, I found out that they are twins, and were strikingly similar in appearance. I didn't get to meet my whole host family until dinner time.
Hikaru and Kaoru both had reddish hair, yellow eyes, and very similar mischievous smiles. Mrs. Hitachin, my host mother, seemed to be a busy woman, what with being a designer and all. Mr. Hitachin was the same only he had the mischievous smile his sons had as well.
I did my best to try and observe the differences between Kaoru and Hikaru. For their physical appearance differences, they parted their hair differently and they didn't have matching voices. The personality differences were a bit more challenging to figure out. Kaoru seemed to notice peoples emotions unlike Hikaru, who always had more devious pranks that could easily hurt peoples feelings.
"Tomorrow is a weekend." Hikaru stated putting his hands behind his head, closing his eyes as if he was bored.
"So please don't wake us." Kaoru said, mirroring Hikaru's motion.
"We tend to be disagreeable in the mornings." the red headed twins said in unison, their voices like a duet between a violin and piano. I was amazed how they pulled off what I had started calling their 'act'.
"Alright, I'll be sure to not wake you." I said right before I headed to my bedroom to get ready for bed.
So far, my host family seemed pretty reasonable. I don't like being awakened in the morning by someone that was not me or my alarm clock.
My bedroom was western style, like most of the mansion. My bed had a very fluffy comforter and 4 pillows. In a way, it was more of a hotel suite.
I started to unpack my bag when I noticed that it had already been done so by the twin maids.
Well that's nice of them, though it's probably part of their job I should still thank them somehow.
After rummaging around the closet, I finally found one of my three sets of pajamas I had brought with me. I put them on and alerted everyone that I was going to bed for the night.
"Oyasumi nasai!" I called out, I was also returned the good night greeting.
I shuffled over to my bed and got under the covers. Today had been a long day, so I had no trouble falling asleep.
I dreamt about what tomorrow will bring.
Our new toy seemed kind of quiet. But, then again, she probably isn't too comfortable with the new language for herself.
She wasn't very observant it seemed, already Kaoru and I already tried mocking her and she seemed to understand.
We will have to try harder.
Lily, our foreign exchange student from America, seems to be a little shy.
She talks when talked to, and doesn't seem to try to start the conversation. Maybe she is one of those kinds of girls that doesn't know how to start the conversation herself. Oh well, her loss.
Despite her being too shy, she looks kind of cute, she has orange-ish hair similar to me and Hikaru's only a bit darker. Her eyes are a light violet color and show all of her emotions even if they aren't displayed on her face. She would make a great model for Okaasan.
Maybe if Hikaru and I introduce her to the Host Club, she will come out of her shell.
Sorry if everything is moving slowly, it is kind of difficult when I know what I want in the middle and the end, but not for the beginning. Don't worry though! Things will pick up soon enough!
