Pajama-rama
A/N: Hey hey. So... Here's the sleepover. What secrets will be told? Will Haruhi be made over by Rizu? Who is it that Rizu is betroth to anyways? How does Kyoya know this? And why haven't I started the chapter yet?! Because before the chapter starts, I must sadly say one thing: I don't own the Host Club but I wish I did. Reverse harems are fine with me. ^_^
"No, I don't think he's a dork." Rizu replied after Haruhi asked if Tamaki ever embarrassed her. "He does have his moments but I guess his kindness makes it easy to overlook his... acts of idiocy." Haruhi smiled as she recounted a few incidents to Rizu. The night was going by nice as the girls realized they had a few things in common. Both loved fatty tuna and had lost their mothers at a young age. Rizu wasn't so informative about her family and only offered that Hiro was really his older half brother. Haruhi wanted to press Rizu further on the subject but decided it wouldn't be polite. Rizu talked of the many trips she had taken in her life: to Paris, Morocco, New York, and London. Both were determined to follow their dreams in doing what they loved to do. Haruhi wanted to be a lawyer like her mother was; Rizu planned on being a fashion designer.
-----In the boys' room-----
"Ugh, how did we get talked into this?" Kaoru groaned, as Tamaki applied make-up on him. Tamaki, hoping to find out how the girls were getting along and trying to get some time alone with Kyoya so he could ask him something, came up with the plan to have the twins dress up as girls and "infiltrate" the event. Hikaru and Kaoru only went along with it because it was better than listening to Tamaki singing the latest J-POP songs he knew.
"Because Father wants to make sure his daughter and cousin are getting along!" Tamaki exclaimed as he put the final touches on Kaoru's face. "There we go! I must say, I certainly can apply make-up. Now go... And remember-"
"Don't let them know it's us," Hikaru and Kaoru stated at the same time. And with that, they left the room and headed down the hall. In Tamaki's mind, he envisioned pillow fights, make-up lessons, and girl talk. Maybe they'll find out if Haruhi likes me, he thought. After a few minutes, he heard a knock on the door. He opened it to see Kyoya standing there, looking not so pleased. He let Kyoya in and closed the door behind him. Tamaki was nervous as to how to go about asking Kyoya about his notebook when Kyoya spoke first.
"What is it in the book did you want to ask me about?" Kyoya curtly replied. Pushing his glasses up and taking the notebook from under his left arm, he showed Tamaki how he knew. On one of the blank pages, Tamaki had wrote down a small list of items to get Haruhi to try. He frowned as Tamaki fumbled unsuccessfully to come up with a good excuse.
"Fine, I did read some of it. And I'll have you know that the ladies do like when we hold a hula party." Tamaki resigned. "But I want to know how it is that you know who Rizu-san is betrothed to."
"Well, seeing as Tomi-san is my older brother, it would only seem fitting that I would know." Kyoya said, thinking inwardly that he was surprised that Tamaki asked about that and not about Haruhi.
"Have you told Rizu-san about this? She should know." Tamaki asked, hoping to find out that Kyoya did tell her. But that hope dwindled as his friend shook his head negatively. "How long have you known, Kyoya?"
"For three months now." Kyoya replied, taking into account that Tamaki's face was turning red with anger. He knew what was coming next so he answered before Tamaki could shout at him. "I didn't inform you because I had assumed that you had known. Especially when you pulled some strings to have Rizu admitted into the school."
"So are you trying to see if her marrying your brother will hinder your chance of getting more merits? Do you Ootori men really think it's always about personal gain?" Tamaki asked, not waiting for Kyoya to reply back. While Kyoya was prepared for Tamaki to be over-dramatic about this, he wasn't expecting what Tamaki had said.
"Yes, I do believe that personal gain is very important," Kyoya said as Tamaki went to the lounge chair and sat down. "As the third son-"
"You plan on gaining more merits than your brothers so you can be heir to the Ootori business" Tamaki finished. "Heh, this was the reason you gave to me as to why you couldn't host any guests. 'Tamaki, with your club being the way it is, you need someone whose sole job is to take care of the financial assets.'" Kyoya smiled as he didn't think Tamaki would remember that. I'm always surprised when he remembers anything that doesn't involve the girls, Kyoya thought. With that, Kyoya excused himself and headed to his room. He didn't need Tamaki gushing about how love was special. Love was just an excuse made for when someone didn't want to stride for the best. Or in his case, the family company and honor.
----- In the girls' room-----
A knock on the door had startled Rizu which caused her to spill some tea on Haruhi's nightshirt. Sending Haruhi to the bathroom with one of her nightgowns, Rizu went to open the door. Standing in the doorway was the twins, dressed as girls. Rizu started to point out that she knew it was them but thought better of it.
"Haruhi! It seems like we have some more girls to hang out with," Rizu exclaimed as she let the "girls" in. "So, umm... What are your names?"
"I'm Ushio and this is Haine. We're sisters who got bored and wanted to play," Kaoru replied, reciting the names Tamaki had told him to use.
"I thought I was Ushio, Kaoru," Hikaru whispered into his brother's ear. Kaoru shrugged as Rizu offered them some tea and Haruhi walked out of the bathroom. Neither brother noticed the subtle hints Rizu gave Haruhi about going along with it.
"Well, hi. I'm Haruhi," she said as she reached out her hand. Hikaru 'Haine' shook it as Kaoru 'Ushio' looked towards Rizu. "I didn't know there was any other girls staying here at the resort."
"Ok, guys... We were going to play Truth or Dare but I think it will be even more fun now that there are more people here," Rizu said as she brought the cups of tea to the group. Smiling, she handed everyone a cup. It's kinda hard to think she's related to Tamaki. He's a moron and she's... Wow. Kaoru thought to himself as he took in all of her features. The way her emerald eyes shone as she smiled, how her blond hair cascaded down half way down her back, how he felt like she was just waiting to play some trick on an unsuspecting victim, and how he thought he might just be attracted to her.
"So, who wants to go first? Haruhi told me that this game was really popular when she was growing up and I love playing games," Rizu remarked. Everyone sat in a circle as Haruhi went first. The game went by quickly with the twins taking mostly dares and the girls preferring to be more truthful. Rizu had the last turn when she asked both "girls" truth or dare. They tried choosing dare but Rizu claimed that the rules stated that the final choice had to be truth. Grudgingly, they chose truth.
"Is it truth that you aren't really girls?" Rizu asked with a smirk on her face. "Because if you guys are, then Haruhi and me are munchkins from Oz." They looked at each other and pulled off the wigs. Haruhi and Rizu giggled as the twins smiled.
"How did you know?" Kaoru asked. "Tamaki said this plan was guaranteed to work." Rizu really burst out laughing as she heard this.
"Sorry... But I think Tamaki didn't do so well. For one, you both are more flat chested than Haruhi is." Rizu said between laughs. Haruhi started to protest her bust size but thought better of it. After discussing the plans to infiltrate the sleepover, Rizu told them what to say. Things about how Haruhi was looking great with the makeup Rizu gave her and how they discussed kissing techniques. The twins finally got ready to leave when Kaoru called Rizu over to the door. Hikaru had already started down the hallway and Kaoru was standing on the outside of the door, facing Rizu. Now would be a good time to... His mind decided as his right hand pulled Rizu's face closer to his. Her lips parted slightly in surprise as his found their way to her cheek then proceeded to her lips. Her eyes blinked as he pulled away from her and grinned. Not giving her a chance to say anything, he turned and walked off humming. Not known to either of them was that this was the time Kyoya had chose to leave his room and head to the front desk. It was when he was three doors away that he glimpsed the kiss. Emotions raced through him as he saw the smile on Kaoru's face; emotions he wasn't familiar with or could even name. He continued down the hallway to the elevator, right pass Rizu. Rizu had said hello to him but he ignored her. What on earth is up with him? And boy, that kiss was unexpected, her mind mused.
A/N: Ok, this chapter is a bit long. Also, I got hit with the stick of inspiration last night while listening to a song on the radio. Of course, that chapter is a little ways off. First we got to figure out what Kaoru was thinking by kissing her. Maybe next chapter, he'll get his chance to explain.
