Apparently the people who "fixed" my internet connection, didn't do a good job. *Sigh* Blame them.
Disclaimer: I still don't anything. Darn.
Recap: (Gee, I haven't put this in a while)
"Yu-chan! You're not dead!" Honey said as he hugged Yuki tightly. The rest of the group was relieved. Everyone for the exception of Haruhi had given a slight hug to the boy who was still resting on the futon. Tamaki seeing how his daughter had not hugged the boy, pushed her forward. The girl did not expect the puff of smoke after her hips had collided to the boy.
'What? Smoke?'
O.O
Coughing lightly, the group of seven stared in bewilderment. The smoke cleared quickly and looking for any sign of the resident of the home, they found nothing but his Ouran uniform. Honey gripped the periwinkle blazer and asked:
"Is Yu-chan running around naked?" The twins started giggling as the clutched their pants.
"Yuki-kun is given the liberty of streaking in his own home, but we finally get to see if he is actually a woman!" The twins had uttered these words at the same time and the rest of them could only stare at them. Tamaki took the liberty of searching through Yuki's discarded clothing and attempting to fold them neatly. Haruhi, taking matters into her own hands, grabbed the clothing from her senpai and started to fold it herself.
"Senpai, don't even try it," Tamaki pulled up Yuki's shirt and revealed a silver furred rat curled up into a ball. Tilting his head, he tossed the shirt to Haruhi and picked up the rat gently. He eyed it carefully before thrusting his hands to Kyoya.
"Hey Kyoya, where do you think it came from?" Kyoya looking up from his notebook raised an eyebrow.
"Where did you get that from?" The rest of the hosts stopped talking with each other to see what Tamaki was holding.
"I found it under Yuki-kun's clothes," Tamaki smiled at the rat, "Isn't it cute?" Unknowingly to Tamaki, Yuki's eyes widened. The twins stared at Tamaki and shivered.
"We don't like rats," Kaoru said eyeing the rat carefully. Hikaru piped up and continued, "They always chewed through our stuff and they're disgusting," At that comment the rat scurried from out of Tamaki's palms and attempted in crawling up the stairs. Tamaki jumped and followed the rat who had made it halfway up the stairs before collapsing. A puff of pink smoke blocked the blonde teens vision. He coughed and moved his hand in front of his face to waft the smoke away. The rest of the host club followed their leader and also coughed lightly at the smoke.
"Yuki-kun?" Tamaki whispered as he saw the naked silver haired boy sprawled across the stairs trembling slightly. He removed his blazer quickly and draped it over the boy. The teen curled up into a small ball and lost consciousness.
"Tama-chan, the rat was Yu-chan?" Honey asked innocently as he peered over to Tamaki's huddled figure. The twins looked down at the ground and Haruhi moved closer to Tamaki. She stared at the teen covered by Tamaki's blazer and sighed.
"We shouldn't have come today,"
II
"Kyo-kun, what do you want for dinner today?" a brown haired girl said as she walked next to a taller boy with orange hair.
"It doesn't matter as long as there are no damn leeks," Kyo said bluntly as he walked ahead of Tohru.
"I'm sorry I made leeks last time! I didn't know and-"
"Just shut up. It doesn't matter anymore," Kyo said as the two continued walking out of school grounds just as they saw a black car. Kyo squinted and stared before the passenger side window rolled down.
"Children! Ha-san and I grace you with our presence. We've come to pick you up!" Shigure's annoying voice said through the window. Kyo just shook his head while Tohru smiled and thanked them both. They went in the car, carefully avoiding touching each other to prevent a transformation. As Hatori drove away from the school, Kyo stared out of the window. Observing the leaves changing colors seemed to distract him while Tohru was humming as she did her homework. Suddenly Tohru asked Kyo a very important question.
"Kyo-kun? Does Yuki-kun have to do the Literature assignment?"
"What? Yeah, stupid sensei kept reminding me to tell him,"
"Do you want to do the same topic Kyo-kun? It would be easier if we worked together!"
"It doesn't matter," Kyo saw the girls face falter slightly and then added, "You can pick the topic," She smiled and turned her head to look at the scenery before her. A few moments passed before Hatori turned off the engine and Shigure hopped out the car happily.
"Heads up Kyonkichi, Yuki-kun's friends are visiting!"
"What? I have to deal with those snobby bastards?!" Kyo yelled out. Tohru only had a look of confusion on and asked, "I wonder if they would like to stay for dinner. That would be wonderful!" The four of them walked down the remaining stretch of path before seeing a blonde boy running out of the house.
"Sohma-san! Please come with us!" said the small boy as he dragged Hatori's arm with much force. Shigure piled through the door quickly and Kyo and Tohru followed suit. Kyo, seeing the same faces that he did yesterday made a disgusted face.
'These people...'
Tohru's eyes widened at the amount of people in the room and that Yuki was resting underneath a thin sheet of blankets. Hatori was being talked to by Honey in a hushed tone. Hatori slowly called over the rest of the host club and lead them to another room. Tohru simply moved out of the room and began to prepare tea. Overhearing the hushed, stoic voice of the doctor she was able to make out a few words.
'Rat'
'Smoke'
'Yuki'
'Cursed'
'Curse? They found out about the curse? But, all of them are boys, unless Yuki-kun transformed by stress. Yuki-kun, I hope you're alright.' While she was thinking, she had poured too much tea into one cup causing it to overflow and burn her finger. She jumped a little and ran over the sink. After soaking it in cold water, she took out a medical kit and put some salve on the burn. She continued to pour the tea into multiple cups and took out a tray. Placing each cup onto the tray, she hurried out of the kitchen. Kyo, who was working on his project, was the lone figure sitting in the room.
"Kyo-kun, would you like some tea?" She said quietly at the orange haired boy's side. He looked up and took a mug. After taking four small sips, he placed the mug on the kotatsu he was working at.
"Where's Yuki-kun and his friends? I was hoping to serve them tea," She said quietly. She knew where his friends were, but were unsure of where Yuki was.
"Damn rat's getting questioned by Hatori. Don't know why though," He said in an uncaring tone.
"Oh, and Shigure-san?"
"In his study or whatever it's called. Probably on the phone with that perverted snake," An awkward paused caused Tohru to set the tray down and start working on her work as well. The two worked in silence before seven host club members walked through the door. Tohru tried to hear the conversation while looking like she was working.
"Yu-chan looked really scared Takashi,"
"Mm,"
"Hikaru, I feel bad,"
"Yeah, so do I. At least you didn't say that rat's were disgusting,"
"I thought it though,"
"Mother, what do you think will happen?"
"Honestly, I have no idea,"
"Senpai, at least you helped him," was the last voice Tohru heard before getting up to serve the seven of them tea. "I wasn't sure what all of you would like, so I made tea for you. If there is something you would like me to make, please don't hesitate to ask,"
Tamaki was blown away at the girls politeness. He took two cups and smiled before handing it to Kyoya. The twins each took a cup and Hikaru whispered, "I thought Yuki-kun didn't have a maid," Kaoru said nothing as he stared at the girl.
'Is this the one I saw in the picture?'
Honey took a cup and politely asked, "May I have cake?" Tohru's smile burst and she hugged the elder slightly.
"Of course! What kind of cake?"
"Vanilla with lots of strawberries!" the boy laughed and hugged Usa-chan tightly. The girl walked out of the room after all of them had taken their share of tea.
"Takashi, she's really nice!" The tall boy replied with a small smile. Kyo just sat there staring at the seven of them before he finally said something.
"Why the hell are you all here?"
"Kyo-kun, that is not proper language for a gentleman!" said Tamaki. The orange haired boy just sighed loudly and yelled out, "Just answer the damn question!"
"Yu-chan invited us to his house. Why are you here Kyo-chan?"
"I live here," he put bluntly before returning back to his work. There was an awkward pause before Hatori and Yuki went into the room. Yuki's silver bangs hid his face and Honey approached the boy while clutching Usa-chan.
"Yu-chan, do you want to hold Usa-chan?" The boy simply shook his head and sat down next to Kyo without looking. Kyo shifted to the right in an attempt to move as far away as possible. Tohru returned with Honey's requested cake and saw Yuki at the kotatsu. Handing Honey his cake, she moved to Yuki and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Yuki-kun are you alright?"
"Ah, yes I am Honda-san," The boy looked up and gave her a smile. Kaoru noticed something off about the boy.
'He's not really smiling...'
O.O
I'm so sorry about the extreme shortness. I don't think I'll be able to update much this week. D: I know you probably hate me already, but I have two B's and that is the equivalent to an F in my standards. I have a test tomorrow and two on Wednesday. Wish me luck gai's. Next update will be tomorrow or if I'm not able to, Wednesday for sure.
