Some Call It Love

Chapter 5- Commoner Party

~*~

The rest of the week went by fast. Kyoya was still trying to figure out the Seino's but hadn't gotten very far. To him, they were a confusing bunch. He didn't understand how they could be so relaxed in whatever they did, but he had told himself that he was going to find out.

The last bell of the day rang, signaling that school was over.

"Finally it's Friday," Rose got up from her seat and stretched.

"I have been waiting for this day all week!" Lily was excited, "It's slumber party time!"

"Slumber party?" Hikaru and Kaoru questioned.

"Yup! You know, like a sleepover? Haruhi and I have been planning this all week. I'm so excited. We're going to have so much fun! I already have a list of things to do," Lily practically started dancing.

"And I bet you that somewhere on that list is 'Make Rose's Laptop Combust,'" Rose wasn't happy.

"I told you, I didn't mean to leave it on the oven. I'm sorry!" Lily told her.

"Don't worry, it's okay. When I get hold of your ipod the next sentence you'll hear out of my mouth will be, 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to flush it down the toilet.'"

Haruhi came up from behind them, "I just hope that 'arguing' isn't on that list."

"Are these types of parties usual for commoners?" Hikaru questioned, not paying attention to their argument.

"They sure are! We used to have them all the time," Lily said, happy that she didn't have to apologize anymore.

"And where exactly are you having this 'slumber party'?" Kaoru asked, having a little trouble saying the two English words.

"My house. You guys should definitely come. It'll be like a firsthand experience for the whole Host Club," Rose sounded happy again.

"But I though a slumber party was suppose to be reserved just for girls," Haruhi said.

"Well it's not a rule, guys can have a slumber party too," Lily said. "And besides, we haven't had a slumber party in forever!"

"Well yes that's true," Haruhi muttered.

"It's going to be so much fun! And I'm sure Sakura wouldn't mind, she likes company," Lily smiled.

~*~

"You invited the whole Host Club?" Sakura yelled once they were inside their house.

"Well we didn't think you'd mind. You like company," Lily didn't ask, she stated.

It was true Sakura liked company, but if Haruhi was bringing the whole Host Club that would mean Kyoya was coming too. And it's not that she hated Kyoya, she just thought he was too serious. And he's always looking at me like I'm a puzzle and he's trying to put me together. Gosh, am I really that hard to understand? And he doesn't even talk to me anymore; it's like the silent treatment. He's acting like we're in elementary school. Am I really that hard to figure out? Well, I guess it's because I don't really talk to him either, so I guess I'm too blame too. And I do act differently around people. Like sometimes I'm mature but then I'm like a kid. Could it be me? Am I that weird?

"Um, Sakura? Are you still with us?" Rose asked.

"Yeah, sorry. I was just thinking."

"A little too hard I think."

"You can say that again," Sakura agreed.

Rose turned towards Lily, "See, I like Sakura. She doesn't say stupid comebacks. She accepts the fact and moves on with her life. Why can't you be a little more mature like her?"

"You want me to be mature? Look who's talking. Just last year you thought it was funny to make noodles come out of your nose," Lily talked back to Rose.

"Here you go again. Why don't you just accept that you're like a little kid."

"So are you!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"And here we go again into another 'am not' and 'are too' argument," Sakura quietly muttered to herself. I don't know what I'd do without them. They're just too sweet. She frowned to herself. I wonder when I should tell them…

~*~

"I still can't believe you invited all of them. What would Mom and Dad think if they found out that we had six guys coming to our sleepover?"

"Sakura, it's okay. First of all, Mom and Dad are in Europe on a business trip, so there's no way that they would know about this party, and second, relax and just have some fun. I mean, come on. It's a slumber party. We haven't had one in years. You should be happy!"

Sakura sighed, "You know what Rose, you're right. I should have fun."

Lily came bounding down the stairs, "I'm ready! Finding these PJs took forever. For some reason they were hanging outside to dry."

Sakura stared at the PJs for a minute. "Aren't those the ones that Rose tried to flush down the toilet this morning?"

Lily stopped running down the stairs and became suddenly still. "Rose!"

"And you had to tell her! Excuse me while I run for my life."

Lily was screaming after her, "And you were the one telling me to be mature just a few hours ago! I am so going to get you for this!"

The maid that was standing next to Sakura spoke, "My, they're at it again. They've been like this ever since birth."

"Yes, I don't think they'll change either, Ariel," Sakura turned around to face a thin elderly, gray haired woman who was smiling.

"They've grown so big too. But of course they're not the only ones. You've grown up to be a real woman, just like your real mom. My I miss her so much," Ariel's face saddened.

Sakura paused, "Yes, well I try not to think about it," just then the doorbell rang. "That must be the guests, could you get the door please and escort them to the living room?"

"Of course," Ariel went to open the door. "Oh my, Fujioka-san, is that really you? You've certainly grown up. You're not the little girl I used to know anymore."

"Ah, Ariel-san, it's so nice to see you again after so long," Haruhi returned the bow that Ariel gave her.

"And I'm sure Ryoji is doing great as well. And my goodness, you've brought along such handsome young men. It's my pleasure to meet you. I am Ariel, the head housekeeper," she gave a deep bow to the Host Club. "Please come in, Sakura is waiting for you in the main room."

As they made their way to the room Haruhi couldn't help but say, "This is the longest I've had to walk to get to a living room. This house, or should I say mansion, is so big."

"I like it a lot!" Hunny chirped from on top of Mori's head. Mori agreed by inclining his head a little.

"Well of course you'd like it. You guys live in mansions too," she whispered to herself.

After minutes of walking they came into the room. The chandelier made of gold and crystals hung high above the ceiling. Paintings docked the majestic colored walls and vases and other artifacts were placed on tables that were lined against the walls. A big window also covered half of the front wall and the spiraling stairs were off to the side, just like the rest of the furniture.

"Hey, where are all the tables and couches?" Hikaru eyed the empty spot in the room that had pillows and blankets spread across all over the floor.

"It's a slumber party, there aren't suppose to be tables and couches. Usually you're suppose to sleep on the floor, but don't worry- we have rooms prepared."

"These commoner parties keep on getting more and more interesting," Hikaru replied.

"Commoners usually do these sorts of things on free time. They're called 'sleepovers' if I recall correctly," Kyoya looked at Sakura.

"That's right. I see you've done your research." It's been a while since I've heard words come out of his mouth outside of Host Club duties, Sakura thought,

"It amazes me that commoners enjoy this type of thing," he looked around the room.

Unlike Kyoya, Tamaki was excited to be spending time with Haruhi. "Well, since we're here, let's get started!" Tamaki jumped onto a pile of pillows.

"Me too! Me too!" Hunny jumped in after him. They started having a mini pillow fight.

"I'm glad they're already having fun," Sakura said.

"Yeah, that's good. By the way, where are Rose and Lily…" just as Haruhi thought that out loud crashing noises sounded from upstairs.

"That's the fourth vase you've broken. Stop running!" Rose's voice could be heard from downstairs.

"No way if I do that you'd kill me!" Lily screamed.

"Well that's weird. Last time I checked Lily was chasing after Rose, not the other way around," Sakura muttered aloud.

In a matter of seconds Lily could be seen sliding down the stair railing with Rose close behind.

"And she nails the landing; the crowd goes wild with applause!" Lily jumped off the railing.

Rose landed right behind her, "You're lucky you got saved but next time I will get you."

They both avoided each other and came and sat down in what was now a circle, "Glad to see you're alive. I thought one of you would have pushed the other out of the window or something."

"Oh trust me, she tried," Rose glared at Lily who was sitting across from her.

Ariel walked into the room along with a few other maids holding plates of food, "Oh look snacks. Now instead of killing yourselves you guys can eat junk food. Doesn't that sound exciting?" Sakura had fake excitement in her voice.

"Yay," Rose said dryly.

Tamaki picked up something from one of the trays, "Haruhi, what are these blown up bags with crisps in them?" Tamaki asked holding up a potato chip.

"They're chips," she answered.

"And they're really good," Lily said, glad that her sister wasn't giving her the death glare anymore.

"And we even got cake for Hunny," Sakura smiled at the cute boy now eating cake. Well, this isn't too bad. This night just might be fun after all.

Next Chapter:

Rose: Hmm, Sakura starts thinking a little more about Kyoya.

Sakura: Is it in a good way?

Lily: Who knows? But what I find more interesting is our game of truth or dare.

Sakura: Of course you do.
