Some Call It Love

Chapter 6- 'That's What She Said'

~*~

It had obviously gotten darker outside. The sun had set and the moon and stars were already glowing. Inside the house, there wasn't a lot of action going on. After eating whatever junk food there was and reassuring Hikaru and Kaoru that pizza was safe, everyone was stuffed and waiting for what was to come next.

"I'm so full," Lily rubbed her stomach from her spot on the floor.

"Me too," Rose said in the same tone as her.

After groans from the rest of the group, signaling that they, too, were full, Lily jumped up. "But the night can't end like this!" She had a look of determination in her eyes now.

"You're right. We have to do something," Rose thought with her.

"Something extravagant."

"Something brilliant!"

"Something ingenuous!"

Rose turned to face Lily, "That doesn't even make sense."

"I know, I just felt as if I had to use a big word."

"Okay…"

"I know! We have to do something no man has ever dared to do!" Lily practically screamed.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Rose asked with a smile.

"If you're thinking about bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower, then yes!" Lily was ecstatic.

"Actually," Rose said after a moment of silence, "I was thinking about 'truth or dare.'"

"Oh god I hate that game," Sakura stuffed her face in a pillow.

"That game sounds scary," Hunny clung to Mori- his pillow.

"Trust me, it is," Sakura frightened him even more.

"No it's not. Stop scaring him," Rose told her.

"How do you play this commoner game of 'truth or dare'?" Hikaru asked.

"It starts like this- one person asks another 'truth or dare.' The other person has to pick one. If he picks truth then the person asking 'truth or dare' gets to ask a question to the other person and the other person has to answer truthfully. If he picks dare then the person tells the other person to do a dare and he has to do it," Lily explained.

"That doesn't sound scary, it sounds like fun," Kaoru said.

"Yes, but everyone knows it will turn into a 'dare' war between Rose and Lily," Sakura said from her pillow.

"Yes, as if we haven't had one of those already," Haruhi said and Rose and Lily went on arguing.

He's barely said anything all night. What is he thinking? Sakura looked up from her pillow to see Kyoya staring out the window. How does that mind of yours work? Is it really all calculations and evaluations? She sighed into her pillow. Why do I care anyways? I should just leave him alone.

"Then it has been decided. We will be playing 'truth or dare' and I, the glorious Lily Seino, will go first."

"I don't know if I want a person with an ego bigger than herself to go first," Rose said.

"Oh be quiet, you're just jealous because I won the coin flip."

"But you cheated, both of the sides where heads!"

"Enough blabbering, it is time to start," Lily stood up. "Truth or dare?" she threw a finger towards Rose.

"Oh it's on now! Dare!"

"I thought so," Lily took a moment to think, "Well, since you and the toilet are such close friends, I dare you to flush your foot down the toilet."

Rose was speechless, as was everyone else.

"Wait, what has she ever done to you?" the other twins were curious.

"Well, this morning she tried to flush a pair of one of my favorite PJs down the toilet and then later threatened to flush my ipod too."

"With good reason," Rose said in defense.

"Are you going to go, or are you too chicken?" Lily mocked her.

Rose, not wanting to look scared, quickly got up, "I'm going."

"Good and I'm coming with you."

All Sakura and the rest of the group heard was the splashing of water along with occasional screaming like, "Ew, this is disgusting!" Then they heard Lily yell, "All the way!" and then heard the toilet flush.

Moments later Rose, wearing a new pair of pants, and Lily were walking back not looking at each other.

"Now it's my turn," Rose glared at Lily. "Truth or dare?"

"What did I tell you?" Sakura said mostly to herself.

Lily thought for a second then answered, "Dare."

"That took a while. Sure you don't want to rethink your reply?"

"I can take whatever you throw at me!" Lily was confident.

"Okay, if you're so sure. Remember when you twisted your ankle sliding down the stairs in a sleeping bag three summers ago?"

"Of course I remember, how could I forget?"

"Well good, I'm glad you remember, because I hope this time you don't break anything," Rose threw a sleeping bag at Lily's face. "Can you take that?"

Lily growled, "Of course I can!" and took the sleeping bag and turned to face the stairs. Ow, this is going to hurt. Whatever, suck it up Lily, you can do it! She started walking up the steps and it took her a good two minutes before she reached the top.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Tamaki asked.

"Of course it's not," Rose replied.

"I just really hope she doesn't break anything," Haruhi prayed.

"We just want to see her slide!" the other twins said with amusement.

Lily slid herself into the sleeping bag and positioned herself for what was probably going to be her demise. Here goes, she thought before letting go of the side railing.

The whole way down Lily was screaming as if someone was trying to murder her. While going down the stairs she had gained enough momentum to slide across the tiled floor hitting the wall on the other side of the room.

"Holy crap, that hurt!" Lily said to herself, "A lot!"

"Well, she's alive. That's good," Rose said.

"I don't like this game. People are getting hurt," Hunny frowned.

"You're right, we shouldn't play this game in which everyone gets hurt," Sakura said, glad that someone agreed with her.

Lily slowly, and painfully, got up from her position on the floor and walked over to the deformed circle that the group was now in.

"You look like an old lady," Rose remarked.

"Thanks to you. I feel like there's a big hole in my butt," she fell onto a pillow face first.

"There's probably one in your head too."

"How about story time?" Why do I feel as if my role in life is to stop Rose and Lily from fighting? Sakura thought.

Hunny got excited at hearing this, "I love story time!"

"Me too!" Lily was as happy as him.

"They act just like three year olds," Haruhi sighed.

Yes they do…Kyoya thought. I still don't believe these are his daughters.

"You're right! We should all just quietly sit down, and tell stories."

"It seems as if Lily has had a dramatic change in character," Rose said, pretending that she was reading lines from a book.

"It's all part of my plan to be more mature."

"And when did you come up with this plan?"

"Just now, I have decided to be more understanding."

Rose stared at her sister, not believing what was coming out of her mouth, "I bet it won't even last a few minutes."

"Yes it will, watch me!" Lily bet her.

"Okay, we'll see," Rose paused thinking of a way to break up Lily's plan. "Remember Spanish class last year? Remember how you hated that teacher so much that you slept in her class every day?" Rose didn't wait for a reply, "I remember, and I remember that day you made a fool of yourself too."

"I did not make a fool of myself," Lily got defensive.

"Yes, you did. You woke up from one of your crazy dreams and screamed 'Mi gato se está quemando!' We didn't even have a cat!"

"What does that mean?" Haruhi whispered to Sakura.

"In Spanish, it means 'My cat is on fire.'" Hikaru and Kaoru had obviously overheard and were now laughing.

"Well at least last year my only catchphrase wasn't 'That's what she said,'" Lily was happy to make fun of her sister.

"Guys, before you try to pull each others' organs out, can we please be a little more understanding of the people around us?"

Rose and Lily turned to face Sakura with looks of confusion on their faces. Then Sakura pointed to the sleeping figure next to Mori.

"Oh, I didn't even notice!" Lily put a hand over her mouth as if she was forbidden to talk.

"Now that I think about it, I am tired," Rose plopped down on to her hoard of pillows. "And I'm way too lazy to walk all the way up stairs."

"You're right," Hikaru and Kaoru both yawned.

"I wouldn't mind going to bed right here," Tamaki put his head on his pillow.

"Yeah, me too," Haruhi was already half asleep.

"Man, I'm tired," Lily pulled up her covers. "I like being awake, but when it comes to sleeping I go out like a candle. Goodnight everyone."

Sakura sat next to the window that was in the main room. She glanced back to the laptop she had in her hands to see if the page had loaded. A big banner that read 'University of Cambridge' on the screen told her that it had. She quickly scanned the page and scrolled down, clicking on the link that read 'Study Opportunities.' She sighed and leaned her head on the window, staring out into the sky. Gosh, I hate this. The stars in the sky were shining bright, as if to mock her in her somber state. Stupid stars, why don't you just stop shining?

"You look tired."

Sakura jumped at hearing someone's voice. I thought everyone was asleep.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Kyoya peered from the shadows, sitting opposite to her though he was looking at the wall that was across the room.

"Um, it's fine. I just thought everyone was asleep," Sakura whispered just enough for him to hear her.

"So did I."

That was blunt. Anything else to say Mr. Mysterious? When Kyoya made no move to prolong the conversation, Sakura started, "Do you always…" stalk innocent girls at night from the shadows when they are least expecting you to? "Stay up this late?" Don't go saying something stupid, Sakura.

"Not usually."

I'm impressed- this is the second longest conversation he's had with me.

Before Sakura could open her mouth Kyoya spoke, "I was thinking…"

He made no move to go on again. "About anything in particular?" Sakura asked.

"Yes," he said after a few moments, "you," he turned his head to look at her.

Sakura held in the 'eep' that dared to escape from her lips. Were his eyes always that pretty? Agh! What am I thinking? "Well that's not something I hear every day. Is there a specific reason?"

He was studying the wall again, "I guess so."

I see he has a habit of not saying what's on his mind.

A few more moments passed.

Ugh! Just tell me damnit!

"It's still hard for me to believe that you're his daughter," his eyes were closed now.

Sakura was startled. "Do I not look like him or something?" Silence. You know, you don't have to take hours to answer every question.

"It's not that. I've never seen him in person, so I wouldn't know. But, you're always so…" he paused to search for the right word.

Quiet? Annoying? Stupid? Pestering? Unreliable? Insignificant? Unworthy of your-

"Lenient."

Or it could be lenient. "Would you care to elaborate?" For once in the five minutes that we've been talking? He didn't respond. Or we could just go into another moment of silence; it wouldn't be the first time.

"You're always relaxed; talkative. Never seem to worry much about other matters. You never seem as if you're in a hurry, always patient…" he trailed off.

Okay, can I say stalker? But you know, if you add up everything that he said I think that defines the word 'happy.' "Is there anything wrong with that? I am a normal person after all."

"Yes, that's it. You're always normal."

"You mean I'm always happy?"

Kyoya said nothing.

"You know, a lot of people would kill to be me. I should be happy, but for some reason, I don't feel so lucky," she paused to look out the window. The stars seemed to be mourning with her now. "I only wish I was as happy as I look. The only time I actually feel somewhat glad is when I'm with Rose and Lily. 'Sisters forever' is what we promised each other. But sometimes there are obstacles…But, I've decided that you shouldn't let anything in life get you down. So, instead of being gloomy all the time, I swore to myself that this year would be the best one of my life," Sakura looked over at Kyoya. "What do you think?" all she got in reply was a quiet snoring.

She quietly watched the rise and fall of his chest, "Idiot, you were suppose to be listening to me…so much for venting." She shut her laptop and pulled over a blanket from the big pile that everyone was sleeping on. She gently placed it on top of Kyoya, and then headed to her spot on the floor.

Kyoya opened his eyes just a crack to see Sakura lay down on her pillow. She really is different.
