Sorry for the delay, a lot of things kept me busy, I will try to get back on schedule as best as I can. Please enjoy, I spent most of my after school time writing this and watching a movie.
The self proclaimed Ouran High School Host Club just stared at me with shocked faces.
Well, most of them did at least, Haruhi just smiled slightly and said, "Wow, I guess you had to take things into perspective to realize that I was actually a girl."
"H-How did you figure that out!?!?" Tamaki cried out dramatically, "It took me nearly a DAY to see that my daughter was actually a girl!"
"It took you a day to figure out Haruhi is a girl?" I asked with a bored expression on my face. Even though I technically just figured out I thought that since his reactions were quite hilarious so I went on to say, "Woman's intuition is how I knew, how your guests don't realize is a greater mystery to me."
If I didn't know better I would have thought that the tall blonde had had a seizure. It looked like he blanked out and hid himself in a corner so I started snickering, which turned into giggles, that became sheer laughter with tears coming to my eyes.
Suddenly, more laughter came from behind me, from my two host brothers.
"You really know how to make The Lord hide away, Lily! Hahahahahahaha!" Kaoru said wiping a false tear away.
"Hey, Haruhi! Looks like Lily will be giving you a run for your money!" Hikaru called to Haruhi through breaks of laughter.
Haruhi just shrugged and walked over to Tamaki's body( I'm pretty sure that his spirit left him as a hollow body) and reassured him and he became his usual energetic self.
"Lily," Kaoru and Hikaru said, "How were you able to think something like that up right on the spot? It was so... Impromptu."
"You don't have any siblings in your family," Hikaru started.
"And we've heard that only 'sibling rivalries' cause such quick thinking." Kaoru finished.
I pressed my index finger to my lips, my usual thinking pose. How did I think up the things I say so swiftly? Was it because I did a lot of impromptu in my theatre class last year? Or maybe because I was ever so witty when replying to my english speaking teachers' questions?
"There are many possibilities as to how I can make remarks like that one. I just have to work harder since I'm an only child." I think I said.
I looked to both of them. They were looking at me in a funny way.
"Nani? Did I say something wrong?" I asked.
"Iie, iie. It's just, if your cunning brilliance were to be combined with our mischievous tricks, we could create such chaos equal to the Greek God, Ares."
My eyes widened in terror, Ares is the God of war and bloodshed, "Why do you want to kill, you psychopaths!?" I exclaimed. Everyone looked at the twins in horror.
"DAME!!! We don't want to kill, just create chaos and mischief." everyone relaxed.
"Then you are more like Loki, the Norse God of mischief and chaos. You guys don't know much about world theology." the twins stiffened up.
"There you go again!" Kaoru cried.
"Making a quick remark!" Hikaru finished.
"Oh no! Whatever shall you do?!" I taunted.
"Ha haa!" I looked behind me to see Tamaki pointing at the twins, "Now you get a taste of your own medicine you menacing devils!"
I was then swooped into a giant bear hug by Tamaki as he squealed like a school girl in love, "Oh goody! Now my precious Haruhi has a sister to play with! Isn't that right daughter?"
"Can't breath." I gasped, "And who are you calling 'daughter'? It is medically impossible for me to be your daughter, unless you you had intercourse with my mom, who was about 30 when she had me, then you too would have to be older than what I presume is 17 years of age. You understand?"
Tamaki had loosened his death grip around me as I made my speech. He looked dumbfounded as I said all of this.
"Are you saying, that I'm not your daddy?" He asked with all the innocence of the world. It just broke my heart, thinking about what I said, his face made me feel like crying.
"Sadly yes," this talk of daddies and sisters and mamas was making me homesick, "b-b-but I'm sure that you could be a really nice daddy."
"Lily, is everything okay?" Renge asked coming to my side.
"Lily?" The twins asked with worried expressions.
And in all my english speaking glory, I began crying, "I miss my daddy and mummy!!! Waaaaaaahh!!!" and I wrapped my arms around the person whoever was closest to me and sobbed into them.
I suddenly felt more arms wrap around me, hushing me like a little child that was lost at a department store.
"Uh, I think we should go home now, Hikaru." Kaoru said as arms removed themselves from me. I was guided out of the music room.
"Gomenasai. I'm sorry for suddenly crying like a baka." I said as I exited the room.
As I tried silencing my sniffles and hiccups, I paid more attention to where I was going. The school was big enough to be three castles, maybe even four.
"You feeling better?" Kaoru asked, wiping a stray tear from my cheek.
"Is this what they call 'being homesick'?" Hikaru asked looking rather bored.
"Hikaru!" Kaoru said, I stopped him.
"Hai. This is what is called homesickness. I guess it was just all of the talking about family." I hiccupped.
"That's understandable." Kaoru said, "Whenever I'm separated from Hikaru, I always feel a bit melancholic." I looked up at him, I had no idea that he could act like a normal human, talking without his brother completing his sentences and vice versa.
Then he smiled and whispered so that only I could hear, "But that's nothing compared to how Hikaru acts! He freaks out and has no clue what to do."
I had to stifle my giggle, pretty sure that if I said anything Hikaru would get a little annoyed.
"There you go now." Kaoru said with a chime in his voice.
"You look much nicer with a smile, but your face is still a wreck." Hikaru finished.
"Probably from all of the tears I cried." I stated dryly.
The trip back to the mansion was quiet. I looked outside the window of the limo, admiring the green scenery. The silence was unsettling. I must have shocked them with all my crying for my mum and dad. And the comments I made about them not knowing the difference between different cultural gods left a wound in their pride.
"I'm sorry." I said, still looking out the window, "I'm sorry, that I started crying at the mentioning of the terms 'Mama', 'Daddy', 'Sister', and 'Brothers'." I chuckled, "I don't even have siblings. I shouldn't be missing nonexistent family members."
I wiped away the single tear threatening to bring on an army of them, "I'm also sorry for my snide remarks. They were rude. I guess the reason I'm so good at coming up with them is because I just let my mouth run without thinking."
"That's okay." my host brothers said.
"And don't go saying that you miss 'nonexistent family members'." Hikaru said.
I turned my head towards the mischievous pair, "We are your brothers now, even if it is only a temporary fix, consider us as real family." Kaoru added.
"Or close friends!" they chorused.
I nodded my head, agreeing with what they said, and to their amazing ability to work perfect phrases with each others help.
Hikaru
Great. I thought that our plan was to get her to talk more, which she did, but instead Lily bursts into tears.
Why does she miss her family in America? She shouldn't have gone on the exchange student program unless she was willing to be away from her family.
But her ability at making great retorts to anyone is amazing! Although it hurt when she said that we got our god of chaos mixed up.
Maybe she'll be able to contain her emotions better tomorrow.
Kaoru
Our plan worked. It's just like Lily said, she just got a touch of homesickness from Tamaki mentioning family terms and that's what set her off like that.
I remember the times that Hikaru and I have been separated from one another, albeit shorter than what she will have to deal with. I hope that she will feel better tomorrow.
I also hope that she will truly does think of us as her own brothers soon. It would help her feel better and open up more.
Maybe even be able to get into me and Hikaru's world. She can already tell us apart.
Lily is beginning to speak more, and it's only been one day at school! She must be a real gabster in America. For those of you that might read 'Apples and Oranges' I'll try posting it on wednesday. Until then, please read and review.
