CHAPTER 5- Host Club Help
We creep silently back into the orphanage desperately trying not to get caught leaving the orphanage without permission. Arai waved goodbye to me as he went down the boy's hallway in the orphanage. I crept against the wall and slipped into my room. As I lay on my bed my mind was allowed to process what had just happened.
That night I slept silently without any nightmare's going through my head. Somehow during the night I made the decision to see those auburn haired boys again, even though I was afraid. In my mind I didn't want to know my past. I didn't want to know my family. Maybe because in my mind I believed they rejected me, and maybe that was true. But in my heart I missed having a family. In my heart I needed to go back and see those Hitachiin boys.
I walked in to the dining room of the orphanage. I sat down to eat but was unable to consume my breakfast. As I was poking my pancakes with my fork I heard a voice, "Ageha? Ageha? Earth to Ageha?" I shook my head, because without realizing I started to space out. "Are you alright?" asked Arai.
"You have been spacing out all morning," informed Kaya, a girl from the orphanage.
"Sorry, I'm fine."
"You don't look ok," she said pulling the fork out of my hand, which I was still stabbing into my pancakes. "What's wrong?"
"Hey!" I yelled shocking everyone. "Arai, could you come to that school again with me today?"
"What? You mean with the twins… are you sure you will be able to see them again?" I nodded and pushed my chair back and raced towards my room. I stopped at the doorway leading to the hallway. "Be ready soon Arai."
We stood in front of the front gate. Arai started walking in but I held him back. I stood still staring at the gate nervous in shock. As we walked in I stayed looking at the ground to make sure my feet were still movie because at any moment I knew I could freak out and give up. "We got trouble, those two commoners are back again." "Better warn Suoh or he will get attacked again." "I hope they don't cause a scene again like yesterday." I heard voice around me stay. Each voice cracked into my ears louder, harder, and at a high pitch than the last. It is hard to ignore such annoying voice but somehow I managed to push the words to the back of my mind.
"Ignore them," Arai whispered to me, but I already was trying to do as he said. "Do you think students are still in class?" He asked. I stayed silent in order to keep myself calm. I took a deep breath, and Arai kept walking. "I think it is up those stairs and the first door on the left, well that is what Haruhi told be anyway." He looked down at me and kneeled until he was at my height, which was pretty tall for an eight year old. "Do you want me to come with you?" He said seriously without the goofy smile he always wore.
"I'll be alright. Wait down here ok?"
"Sure," I nodded and walked up the stairs leaning my body weight on the stair rail. I slowly stepped up a few of the stairs then looked back down at Arai." He coaxed me to go up with hand motions. As I stood in front of the huge doors to music room number 3. I gulped and pulled the door handle.
I slipped in very quietly, so no one heard me. I stood against the door looking all around the room. I notice a few familiar faces like Tamaki, Kyoya, Haruhi and the twins. There was a blonde boy who looked about a year or two older than me but he was in a high school uniform. Next to him on the couch (not going into why that shouldn't be in a classroom) was a tall boy with black hair and an angry face. The room was filled with girls around the boys. For each boy there was at least three girls across from him who were watching him. Haruhi also had a few girls around her. I didn't understand what I was seeing, I was so confused. The next thing I knew Kyoya was by my side.
"I take it you are here to see the twins…" I looked up at him and slid away. Then I wondered to myself, Why was I here? Did I want to talk to anyone? Did I want to see the boys that could be my brothers and my family? If the answer wasn't clear in my head how could I explain it to this witty highschooler in glasses.
"I…I don't know… But that could be it,"
"Oh, I don't care either way, but if you want to see them I'll allow you this time to go over and talk to them. Just do not bother the consumers," I tried not to take offense to that. I was under the assumption that he wasn't the kind of person to spare other people's feeling. I nodded and stared at my feet. My brain wanted to move and walk over there to the table Hikaru and Kaoru were sitting at (with a few girls of course), but my feet still stayed still. I dragged my feet forward past the two couches in the middle of the room. One of the couches held Tamaki. I tapped him shoulder and when he turned around I ducked under the couch. Why did I do that? I regretted doing that, but only now was I aware I had little control over my movements.
"Ageha!?" He squealed.
"Is that a little girl?" asked a brunette from across the room.
Tamaki looked over the couch. When he saw me he jumped over the couch and the girl next to him scream and I would have to if I wasn't so in shock.
"Why are you here? You are so cute," Haruhi looked over at me and walked over.
"Sempai, you are going to break her." She informed Tamaki as he hugged me half to death.
"Haruhi are jealous daddy is hugging another little girl?" He let go of me and hugged Haruhi with tears coming out of his eyes, "Daddy is sorry Haruhi. Don't be angry with me," he wined.
"Let… go… of… ME!" She yelled sending Tamaki into the corner crying. I laughed a little, but the realized I was left on the cold floor. I felt a sudden pain in my knee, but ignored it for the moment.
"Hi there! I'm Hani! Who are you, because you are very cute! Do you want to have some cake with me?" the blonde boy asked me.
"I'm Ageha…" I noticed out of the corner of my eye the twins turning their heads towards me.
"Would you like to hold my bunny?" He said jumping around and pulling out a worn out light pink bunny. The bunny was shoved in my face and I started to cough. The tall dark haired boy came up behind Hani.
"Too close," he mumbled and Hani ran to a table and sat down in sadness. He ate a piece of cake and talked to him bunny. I pulled myself up from the ground pulling on the table Hani was at.
"What kind of cake are you having?" I asked trying to see over the table; in my defense it was a very tall table.
"Strawberry," He answered smiling again.
"Could I have a bite?" He jumped out of his chair and handed me the plate set out for the bunny.
"Of course! Sorry, oso-chan I'm going to give Ageha some of your cake," I giggled and took a big bite. I was a sucker for sweets because at the orphanage I rarely got sweets to eat unless it was someone's birthday. Tamaki sprung back to my side.
"That is so cute! You can have all the cake you want!"
"She will have to pay for that," announced Kyoya.
"Pay? I'm an orphan… I don't have spending money," I said looking at the cake I had taken a bite of. Tamaki gave me another piece.
"Stop being a downer Mommy," He kept piling more plates of cake on my stack. After there was at least 15 plates in my hands I threw them on the table and fell on my knees.
"Sempai, how much cake did you think a little girl could eat. We aren't all like Hani-sempai." Haruhi said helping me up. All I was aware of was that my knee was hurting more than before. I heard a crash behind me.
It was a fist hitting a wooden table. The crash was followed by a few girls screaming.
"Hikaru…" I heard Kaoru mumbled. I turned around and saw Hikaru angrily looking at his fist on the table.
"Hika-chan…?" said Hani walking closer to the twins. I tugged on Tamaki's pants and looked up at him. I pulled myself up and stood up so I could see both of the twins. I looked straight at them and held on to Tamaki's hand. I was scared but I tried not to show it, but it was probably noticeable since I was crushing Tamaki's hand.
"Hikaru… Kaoru… I… I…" I started to stubble on my words and my legs got weak. My knee started to hurt more and more. My right leg bent and I fell over with only Tamaki's arm stopping me from hitting the floor hard. I felt like a fool and of course it was right when I was about to talk to my brothers again.
