It's a Twin Thing

Chapter 6

"Where's Sei?" Tamaki asked at the breakfast table the next day after noticing that the burgundy haired girl wasn't there at all.

Kaoru and Hikaru both shrugged, continuing to play with their food, occassionally flinging a forkfull at Tamaki when he wasn't looking and then whistling innocently when he stared at them accusingly.

Sai came in from the kitchen, a large glass of orange juice in his hand as he sat down in one of the empty chairs. "Most likely, she's still upstairs sleeping, Sei's a late sleeper."

Hunny frowned a little before smiling brightly,"Then I'll go wake her up! She needs to eat before we go down to the zoo, ne?" And he was gone before anyone could say anything to him.

Kaoru and Hikaru smirked and swiftly stood from their seats and darted after him, not wanting to miss Sei's rude awakening.

Haruhi stared after the departing trio with a worried look,"You think they'll be ok?"

Sai shrugged,"Well, I'm not sure about Hikaru and Kaoru, but Hunny should be fine."


The three boys snuck towards the emerald eyed girl's room quietly, making sure they didn't stir anything that could possibly wake her before they got to her. They made it to her room and opened the door, wincing when it made a loud creaking noise. The high schoolers held their breathe, almost sure that the noise would have awoken the sleeping girl.

When she didn't so much as stir in her sleep, they let out a drawn out sigh, relieved by this.

"Wow, she must be a deep sleeper." Kaoru mused.

Hikaru nodded in agreement.

"Good mor--mmph!" Hunny started to exclaim happily, only to have the twins quickly cover his mouth with their hands, muffling his greeting.

They stared once again in bated breath at Sei, but like before she remained still and silent, buried into her covers like a caterpiller in a cocoon. Hikaru and Kaoru both let go of the small blonde boy and glared at him, making him shrink back a little.

Hikaru stepped forward and silently motioned for the two to follow him until they were all right next to her bed, staring down at the peacefully sleeping 15 year old.

"On the count of three." Hikaru said quietly.

"1..."

"2..."

"3...!"


Sai stared at the rest of the Host Club that had stayed behind to eat breakfast and offered a bright grin as he shoved a forkful of scrambled eggs into his mouth.

"They've been up there an awfully long time, shouldn't someone go up and check on them?" Tamaki asked, glancing up towards the stairwell.

Kyouya looked up at him,"They haven't woken her up yet."

The blonde Host King cocked his head,"How do you know?"

"Believe me, you'd know if she was awake." Sai supplied, his expression unreadable as he stared off towards the stairway.

Kyouya pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose,"We're better off waiting down here for them, I'm sure you wouldn't want to be on Sei's bad side this early in the morning."

Tamaki shuddered a little before going back to his own plate of breakfast.

The sound of hysteric laughter and the scream of "Get off!" was heard from upstairs.

"Well, so much for our peaceful morning." Sai sighed.


"...3!"

The twins leapt ontop of the sleeping figure, Hikaru straddled her waist while Kaoru leaned over from the other side of the bed and tickled her. Hunny stood next to the bed, hugging his Usa-chan and laughing.

Sei snapped her eyes open and made a sound that was inbetween and yelp and a laugh, but the twin's couldn't be sure because she started choking on her laughter.

"S-st-stop! K-K-Kaoru!" She managed to say between laughing.

Kaoru continued and now even Hikaru was in on it as he made sure she was pinned down good enough so she wouldn't beable to get away from the two tickling fiends. The Hitachiin's laughed along with her, enjoying the feel of power they were getting from this.

"Say, Hikaru?"

"Yes, Kaoru?"

"Maybe we should stop and let her breath a bit."

They both stopped tickling her, letting her catch her breath a little, she stared up at them with relief filled eyes. But that relief soon turned into dread as she watched them exchange grins.

"Not a chance." Hikaru and Kaoru both said in unison before continuing their tickling barrage.

She choked once again and they stopped, frowning a little as Hunny handed her a glass of water that had been on her nightstand. Sei took a few sips to stop her choking and sighed, narrowing her eyes pointedly at the twins who were still ontop of her.

"Get off." She tried pushing them off, but Hikaru and Kaoru both held their ground, amusement dancing in their eyes.

"Ne, Hika-chan, Kao-chan, maybe you should get off of her, we need to go down and eat breakfast before we go to see the penguins!" Hunny ended excitedly with a smile as he started to think of the penguins.

"Yeah, it would be nice." Sei muttered.

"We don't wanna!" They cried out indignantly.

Hunny frowned, as did Sei.

"Give us one good reason why we should." Hikaru spoke.

"Is the fact that I'm suffocating under the weight of the both of you, a good enough reason?" Sei choked.

"Are you calling us fat?" The twins took offense and immediately got off of her and stood by the bed, scowling a little.

The burgundy haired girl groaned loudly,"No! I never said that! I just said that with the both of you combined ontop of me, it was making it difficult to breath!"

Kaoru turned to his brother,"Hikaru, she's yelling at us!" And he burried his head into his brother's shoulder while Hikaru wrapped his arms around the younger twin's waist, glaring pointedly at Sei.

"First you call us fat, and then you yell at us! What's next? You going to tell us this makes our butts look big?" Hikaru asked heatedly.

Sei sat up and stared at them thoughtfully,"Well, now that you mention it..."

Hikaru and Kaoru's mouths dropped open and they stared at her,"How rude!"

"I think it's time for us to angrily storm out of the room!" Kaoru said to his brother.

"I think you're right Kaoru, let's go!" Hikaru and his younger twin linked arms and stormed angrily out of the room like they had said, slamming the door on their way out.

Sei laughed a little,"I hope they know I was kidding."

Hunny tilted his head a little,"You were? Good, because I didn't think they have very big butts at all!"

Sei laughed,"I'm sure they'll be thrilled to hear that Hunny-senpai! Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take a shower and get dressed, I'll be down in half an hour."

The small blonde boy nodded and left the room, closing the door much softer than the twin's had, and the emerald eyed girl couldn't help but shake her head from side a side a little, a small smile gracing her lips.


Tamaki looked up from his food when the twins stomped down the stairs, Hunny in tow. Seeing the sour look on Hikaru and Kaoru's faces made everyone sitting at the table stare at the three boys curiously, they could only imagine what had happened.

Everyone was silent as the twins pulled out their seats at the same time and slumped down into them with their arms crossed.

"How'd it go?" The blonde Host King asked, everyone else just stared at him as if he were stupid.

"Hika-chan and Kao-chan are upset because they thought Nana-chan called them fat." Hunny supplied.

"It's not just that!" Hikaru muttered.

"She implied that we had big butts." Kaoru finished.

"The nerve of her." They concluded.

Sai coughed and started laughing,"Oh come on, I'm sure she didn't mean it."

The ginger haired twins glared at him,"You're just trying to defend her."

The emerald eyed boy frowned,"Am not! I'm just saying that I know her, and she was probably joking, I mean, you hardly have butts to begin with, so telling you your butts are big would be a huge lie."

Haruhi bit her lip to hold in her laughter, though Tamaki wasn't as polite as she and he started laughing and nodding his head,"It's true, it's true!"

Kyouya pushed up his glasses a little, but despite the fact that he tried to act cool and calm, he was amused, and it showed in his dark eyes.

Hikaru and Kaoru both gasped,"How rude!"

"Well, they are twins afterall."

"Must run in the family."

Sai frowned sheepishly,"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I meant that in the best way possible."

"Apology accepted."

Just as everything was settling down, Sei came down the stairs, looking a little upset. She was wearing a pink sleevless shirt, a white miniskirt, and pink converse.

Tamaki stood and ran over to her, embracing her tightly,"Oh, Sei! You look wonderful! If only I could get your sister to wear girl clothes aswell."

She pushed him off,"I told you, I'm not your daughter and neither is Haruhi, so knock it off."

The blonde prince collapsed in the corner, tracing circles on the hardwood floor with his index finger, a gloom set around him.

Sai tilted his head,"You look a little miffed, what's up?"

His sister stared at him,"Haven't you seen what I'm wearing?"

He shrugged,"Yeah, you look cute."

"No, no, no." She frowned,"Someone replaced my clothes with these..." Sei looked herself up and down and then stared at her brother suspiciously. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?"

Sai laughed nervously,"Ah, n-no. Of course not, Sei!"

Hunny tilted his head,"I think Nana-chan looks cute!"

Sei glanced over at the small blonde boy before staring her twin straight in the eyes, shrugging,"Fine, fine, I guess I'll just have to wear this today seeing as I'm getting nowhere with playing detective."

Sai let out a sigh of relief before going to put his finished plate in the kitchen where the cook still was.

"Sei, are you ready to go to the zoo yet?" Tamaki asked as she sat down and started nibbling on a piece of toast.

The burgundy haired girl shrugged,"I guess, if everyone else is ready to head down there." She glanced over at the twins, who noticed and turned their heads away from here,"Oh come on! Don't tell me you're still mad about earlier! You knew I was kidding, good grief."

"Did you hear something Kaoru?"

"Yeah, a rude little buzzing noise."

Sei rolled her eyes,"Oh, that's mature guys."

"There it is again."

"Maybe we should call pest control."

"Maybe we should."

Sei growled,"Fine, two--er--three can play at that game."

Sai came back from the kitchen, rubbing his hands together,"So, are we ready for the zoo yet?" He then noticed the tension hanging thickly in the air and took a step back with a frown,"Can't we all just get along?"

"Ask them that." Sei was now standing by the table with her arms crossed and her head turned away from the ginger haired Hitachiin's.

"Don't peg this on us, you started it." Hikaru and Kaoru shot back.

The rest of the Host Club, and Sai, all sighed annoyedly at the immature trio, wishing they would act their age and get over it.

Sai grabbed his sister's hand and started for the door,"Let's just go already, we're wasting time." Sei didn't fight her brother's hold, and let him lead her outside, followed by the rest of the Host Club.

The short walk down to the entrance of the zoo was silent, but almost painful to bare with the Hitachiin's and Sei shooting scathing glares at eachother. Haruhi groaned loudly, extremely annoyed with the way they were acting over something so silly and trivial. Kyouya seemed to be thinking along the same lines as Haruhi as he walked side-by-side with Tamaki, who seemed to be fascinated with the animal shaped shrubs.

"Yay!" Hunny cheered as they finally reached the entrance to the zoo,"We're here!"

The mood seemed to lighten and everyone seemed somewhat excited about going to see the animals.

"I want to go see the penguins!"

"I want to go see the lions!"

Hunny and Tamaki both stopped and stared at eachother, surprised defiance in their eyes.

"Lions."

"Penguins."

"LIONS."

"PENGUINS."

"LIONS!"

"PENGUINS!"

"Guys, stop!" Haruhi came in between the two blondes,"We can go see both the lions and the penguins."

Tamaki and Hunny both turned to Haruhi and then back to eachother, the two blondes seemed to be thinking about what the brown haired girl had said, considering it.

"As long as we go see the penguins first."

"As long as we go see the lions first."

Everyone groaned.

Kyouya stepped forward,"Why don't we all just split up and meet back here later? There's 9 of us, so 3 groups of 3."

"Haruhi's coming with us!" Hikaru and Kaoru both pulled said girl to them, making Tamaki glare.

"Don't you dare touch my daughter!" Tamaki cried out at the twins who stuck out their tongues and dragged Haruhi off.

"Don't I get a say in this?" She asked, but it went ignored.

"I'll go with---"

"Us." Kyouya interrupted Sei, who did a double take and stared at him.

"I will?"

Tamaki jumped out of his depression and hugged Sei tightly,"Yes, my other daughter hasn't left me! Don't worry, we'll rescue your sister from those little devils!"

Hunny bounced over to Sai,"Then that means you're coming with Takashi and me!" He grinned, grabbing the taller boy's hand and leading him over to his cousin.

"Uh, bye Sei!" Sai called as he, Hunny, and Mori started walking towards where the arctic animals were.

She waved a little at her departing brother before pushing off the eccentric blonde.

"To the lions!" Tamaki shouted excitedly, pointing in the direction where the savannah animals were located, and marching off towards the exhibits.

Sei and Kyouya lagged behind a little bit as the blonde Host King led the way enthusiastically, muttering happily to himself.

"Why'd you want me to come with you and Tamaki?" Sei asked, side-glancing the bespeckled older boy.

"I have my reasons." He replied and she tilted her head.

"You're just one big mystery, aren't you?"

"Hurry up, you're going to miss the majestic lions!" Tamaki called to them, he was already at the lion exhibit, and the two realized how far back they were.


Hunny had been sitting on his cousin's shoulders as the three boys made their way towards the penguin exhibit, stopping briefly to see the animals on the way to Arctic Alley.

"Waii! Lookit the penguins!" Hunny squealed, staring through the glass window in at the penguins in their snowy habitat.

"Uhn." Mori grunted.

Sai looked in through the glass aswell at the wabbling penguins,"Neat little guys, aren't they?"

"You bet!" Hunny grinned, hugging his Usa-chan to himself.

The three stayed by the penguins for about 5 more minutes before Hunny decided he wanted to see some more animals in the area, so they went over to the next exhibit.

"Wow! Look at the polar bears!" Hunny exclaimed, fascinated by the large white bears playing in the water behind the reinforced glass window.

"Yeah, polar bears are one of my favorite animals." Sai smiled as he watched one polar bear tackle another one playfully, sending both of them tumbling into the water.

"Oh no, that one's hurting the other one!" Hunny cried.

"They're playing." Mori supplied, and Sai nodded.

"Oh!" Hunny smiled in relief,"That's good."


After Hikaru and Kaoru had grabbed Haruhi and dragged her off into the zoo, they had decided to stop first by the sloth exhibit. They stared at it for what seemed like forever, but it still didn't seem to be getting anywhere.

"Man this thing is slow!" Hikaru complained, and Kaoru agreed.

Haruhi laughed a little,"Of course it is, being slow is what sloth's are known for. Haven't you ever heard of the seven deadly sins? Sloth, being lazy and lethargic."

The twins stared at her before rubbing their cheeks against her,"How cute!"

They were startled by loud screeches, their curiousity got the better of them and they found themselves standing infront of a large cage with somesort of screaming monkey in it.

"It says they're...Howler Monkeys." Kaoru read from the info-stand infront of the exhibit.

Hikaru rubbed his chin, watching as the Howler Monkeys screeched at them, before he turned to Kaoru and smirked.

"Kinda reminds you of Sei, doesn't it?"

Kaoru laughed,"Yeah, now that you mention it."

Haruhi rolled her eyes,"No it doesn't, it's not nice to talk behind someone's back."

Hikaru glanced over at his brother,"Honestly Haruhi, how can you defend that rude girl?"

"She's not rude, you're just annoying." She spoke with absolutely no malice in her voice whatsoever.


Sei sneezed suddenly as they reached the giraffe exhibit that was closeby to the lions they had previously been looking at.

"You know, they say when you sneeze that someone is talking about you." Kyouya offered, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

She groaned a little,"Great. It better not be the twins or I'm going to kill them."

The bespeckled black haired boy chuckled at her reply, but they had to turn to where Tamaki was when they heard him cry out.

"Oh wow! Look at the majestic grace with which the giraffes move! How beautiful they are!" He all but squealed, watching as the tall creatures reached up with their long necks and munched on the leaves at the top of the trees in their exhibit.

"If you love them so much why don't you assimilate yourself to be one with the giraffe?" Sei asked, her arms crossed from her position beside Kyouya, who seemed amused by what she had said to the Host King.

Tamaki turned around and his face paled, curiousity overwhelmed Sei and Kyouya, so they both turned around as well, the latter of the two raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, we better wrap this up, looks like it's going to rain." Sei frowned and turned around to see both Tamaki and Kyouya on their cell phones.

"We're meeting everyone else back at the mansion." Tamaki informed her, and she nodded.


Thunder had sounded not all that far off, which alerted them of the oncoming storm, making the twins' eyes widen.

Haruhi shivered and bit her lip, making Hikaru start digging in his pocket, searching for something in particular. Kaoru eyed him curiously until the older twin grinned triumphantly and pulled out his iPod, turning it on and handing it to the shaking girl.

Haruhi gratefully took the iPod and put the earphones in her ear, letting the rock blasting out of it take her away to another place. Hikaru gave his brother a look as the younger twin's cellphone started to ring.

"Hello? Yeah, we noticed." Kaoru stated dully,"Already on our way." He hung up.

"Who was that?" Hikaru asked, as if he didn't already know.

"Tamaki, we're meeting them up at the house." Kaoru supplied, watching as Hikaru took Haruhi's hand and started leading her towards the front entrance of the zoo. Kaoru sighed and walked quickly so he could catch up to the two who were already pretty far ahead.


"They're so cute! Like big fluffy doggies!" Hunny laughed.

They were now infront of the Arctic wolf exhibit, watching as the wolves played with the little pups, running around on the icy terrain and being tackled to the ground by the much smaller wolves.

Sai laughed,"Yeah, I guess you could say that."

Just then he heard a clap of thunder, glancing up at the sky Sai noticed the quickly moving dark clouds coming towards them. The burgundy haired boy groaned and was about to call his sister when Hunny's cellphone rang. Staring curiously at the boy, he wondering who it was, until the smaller boy hung up and turned to them with a somewhat serious look on his face.

"Kyo-chan said to meet them back up at the house."

"Alright, can do." Sai saluted as they started for the entrance of the zoo.


Everyone had made it back just in time, as the last person made it through the door, it started pouring rain outside, thunderclapped and lightning struck.

"We're going to take Haruhi upstairs." Tamaki and Hikaru declared before leaving with the shaking girl, who was still listening to Hikaru's loud rock music to drown out the sound of the thunder.

"Ne,ne, Nana-chan, I want cake!" Hunny bounced, looking hopefully at the girl.

"Alright, just go through that door and tell the cook, Mrs. Yamanaka what kind of cake you would like." Sei pointed towards a swinging door across from the diningroom table.

"Yay! Cake!" Hunny cheered as he ran towards the door to the kitchen, Mori following him.

Kyouya and Sai sat down at the dining room table, the bespeckled boy typing away at his laptop, while the emerald eyed boy started eating from a plate of cookies in the center of the table.

Just then a rather loud bang of thunder was heard and the power went out, follow by a high pitched yelp, before the lights came back on.

"What just happened?" Kaoru asked.

"The back-up generator kicked in." Sei said, relieved.

Kyouya stared up over his computer screen with a knowing look in his eye, one that clearly told Sei that he knew something she didn't want him to.

"I, um, I think I'm going to go to bed now." Sei said quickly, starting for the stairwell.

Kaoru yawned,"Yeah, I think I'll go to bed too."

"G'night Sei!" Sai called to her from his seat at the table.

Sei was trying to walk as fast as she could but she ended up stumbling, Kaoru caught her before she could fall onto the floor. She stared up at him, a surprised look set in on her face as he stared down at her, amusement dancing in his eyes.

"I thought you were mad at me?" They both said in unison before laughing.

"Ah, um, thanks...for catching me." She pulled away from him and stood by her bedroom door, avoiding his gaze.

An awkward silence set in around them and Kaoru just nodded and muttered a 'your welcome'. He turned around to leave when a loud crash was heard outside and the lights went out once again. He jumped little when he heard a startled cry and felt someone latch tightly onto him.

"Um, Sei?" He asked, looking down at her through the darkness, he could just make out her form against his body and could actually feel her shaking against him.

She didn't respond, atleast not with words, but instead she buried her face into his chest and tightened her grip on him. Slowly, Kaoru wrapped his arms around her waist protectively.

"You're afraid of the dark, aren't you?" He asked quietly.

She lifted her head away from him a little,"Please, don't tell anyone." Her voice cracked as she was saying this, and he frowned, but nonetheless nodded.

"I promise I won't." He smiled, and he could just see the outline of her face as she returned it.

"Thankyou, Kaoru." She hugged him, and they stayed in that position for what seemed like forever, but Kaoru didn't mind, and Sei was just too scared to let go.

Soon he heard her breathing become less ragged, and more steady. The ginger haired boy glanced down at her,"She fell asleep standing up? Well, I guess I might aswell go lay her down in her own room." He sighed and moved to open her door before picking her up bridal style and lightly kicking the door open all the way so he could walk in.

Kaoru yawned and stumbled over his feet, tripping and falling ontop of her bed, with Sei ontop of him, still fast asleep. He let out a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing she's such a deep sleeper." He yawned again,"I'll just...just rest my eyes for a minute..."


Hikaru had gone to bed in his and Kaoru's room after the storm had stopped and he and Tamaki were sure that Haruhi was fast asleep. He wasn't too worried when he didn't see his younger twin already asleep in bed, figuring he was still downstairs with the others. But when he woke up the next morning, and still no brother, he started to panic a little and immediately jumped out of bed and started searching every room.

He burst through door after door, but no Kaoru, he was about to call Kyouya to call his secret police when he came to Sei's door. He hesitated a bit before opening the door and peaking in,"Sei, have you seen Ka--" He stopped when he noticed his brother fast asleep on her bed, with her using his chest as a pillow.

He narrowed his eyes at her before turning around and walking out, closing the door behind him. How dare she take my brother away like that. He thought bitterly to himself before going back to his and Kaoru's room to get dressed.


Kaoru woke up a little after his brother had found them, he glanced around the room in confusion, and that's when he felt the extra weight on him.

"Oi, Hikaru, get o---oh, that's right." He finished quietly, seeing Sei still fast asleep ontop of him.

He eased her off of him and onto her side of the bed, staying still for a moment just incase he had disturbed her sleep. Seeing as she wasn't going to wake up, he slipped off of the bed, putting his feet onto the carpet and shuffled towards the door.

The amber eyed boy stared over his shoulder at her, a small smile gracing his lips before he opened the door and left the room.

He went back to his and his brother's room at the end of the hallway, deciding on getting dressed since they were all due to leave to go home soon. When he got into their room he half expected to see his brother there waiting for him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Must've gone down to breakfast already." He concluded, throwing on a pair of jeans and a short sleeved blue t-shirt.


"Morning Sei." Her twin grinned, handing her a plate of breakfast, which she took gratefully.

"Morning Sai," She smiled before turning to the Host Club,"Morning guys."

"You seem rather cheerful today, anything happen last night?" Hikaru said pointedly.

Her and Kaoru both exchanged looks before she shook her head,"No, not really, I guess I'm just well rested is all."

"If you say so." He muttered.

Sei frowned a little before twirling her fork around in her food, shoving a forkful of eggs into her mouth. Sai watched her for a few minutes before he felt something by his feet, surprised, he looked down to see Yasai rubbing up against him expectantly.

"Oh, I'm sorry Yasai, here." The burgundy haired boy tossed the fox a piece of sausage, which Yasai scarfed down contentedly.

Everyone finished off their breakfast rather quickly, with only a few spoonfuls of eggs being flung at Tamaki this time.

Kyouya's cellphone rang and he answered it, speaking briefly before snapping it shut and turning towards the Host Club.

"The limo's here, we shouldn't keep it waiting." He announced.

"Thankyou Nana-chan and Sai-chan, for letting us stay here this weekend with you!" Hunny grinned, flinging himself and Sei, giving her a great big hug.

"Haha, well, um, you're quite welcome Hunny-senpai!"

"Yes, thankyou Sei and Sai, for letting us tour your zoo and stay at your house for the weekend, we appreciate it." Tamaki hugged Sei aswell.

"Didn't I tell you not to hug me?" Sei asked.

"No." He replied.

She pushed him off of her,"Well, then I'm telling you now, don't hug me." Tamaki was sent off into the corner to mope.

"C'mon Tama-chan! It's time to go home!" Hunny pulled the blonde host king to his feet and he and the twins pushed him out the door and to the limo.

Once the Host Club had left, Sai turned to his sister and heaved a sigh.

"Well, that wasn't as bad as we expected, now was it?" And they both laughed.
