Hey guys, thanks for the eviews, I was so happy this morning, I was like YAY!!!! and I sat here giggling at the computer desk :)
Also, Maximum Vampire, thanks SO SO SO SO SO SO much for the titles, I went with 'Deep Beneath Stoic Waters' and I have most of the story panned out in my head now. You're truely amazing xx
And as for this chapter... well I just hope you don't kill me... I couldn't help myself ;)
"Come on!" I growled, taking Lisa's hand and pulling her as hard as I could into school.
She was only here for the remainder of the semester, but that was no problem. She'd also been concerned about uniform, but we were the same size now, so she had my spare one on.
Of course, she was still getting some funny looks, especially when she started uttering a string of swear words in English, quite loud, in front of everyone.
"Just shut up, speak Japanese, and behave yourself." I snapped, rounding on her, hands on hips, acting like she was the naughty child and I was the grown up.
Some girls around started giggling, but I knew them from club, so I let it pass.
"How can I shut up and speak Japanese?" she cried, flailing her arms about (sometimes, she could be the female equivalent of Tamaki).
"Just... shut up. And speak Japanese when people speak to you."
"I just don't want to be here..." she muttered, flicking her brown hair back.
"Fine. Find your way out, go home, don't meet Kyouya." I shrugged, and started walking off, but I felt her hand latch around my wrist in a vice like grip, and she was soon following me quietly.
Pretty soon, we were at club room, and I told her to take a deep breath before we went in.
She did so, and that was my cue.
"Hi Sa-Chan!" shouted Honey, glomping me as soon as I walked through the door. "Who's this?" he asked, smiling brightly at Lisa.
"My best friend Lisa, from England." I smiled.
Pretty soon, Lisa had met Honey, the twins, Tamaki (who she flirted a little with), she said hello to Takashi again, but had already kind of met him, so no biggy.
Her introduction to Haruhi was the best, because literally a second after shaking hands, did she ask;
"You're the girl, right?"
This set Tamaki and the twins off exclaiming that Haruhi was a manly man, very masculine and such, and they only shut up when Kyouya walked in and threw his textbook at them.
"What's going on?" he asked, walking up slowly, but he stopped abruptly when he caught sight of Lisa. "Oh. A friend Saori?"
"Yeah. Lisa Hunt. Lisa, this is Kyouya, Kyouya, this is Lisa."
They shook hands, and I saw a little blush creep across Lisa's cheeks and Kyouya just smiled warmly at her, enjoying her attention.
"Nice to meet you Lisa. I suppose you're going to be here for a while." he said... in fluent English, with an English accent, no Japanese twist to it, or stuttering, or going 'uh' mid sentence.
Why couldn't he have done that with me?
"Y-yeah... well, at least until the end of term." she stammered, going bright pink either through attraction for Kyouya or through embarrassment. I think it was a mix of both.
He just continued to smile at her, until he realized he still had hold of her and and very politely dropped it. They continued to talk in English, adamantly ignoring Tamaki who wanted to know what they were saying, so the blond went off to sulk, muttering French cuss words... I think.
I left them to it, knowing right away that Lisa was harboring a crush for the Ootori, and that Kyouya was likely to want to create a good first impression.
"They seem to have hit it off." said Takashi, who had somehow crept up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Yeah. I think they have."
"She likes him?" it sounded like a question, so that's how I interpreted it.
"Yeah."
I smiled up warmly at him, and he smiled back, He gave me an upside down kiss, and then turned me so I was facing him.
"Love you." he whispered, pulling me close to his chest, nuzzling my hair.
"Love you too." I whispered back, relaxing into him, and feeling my heart swell.
We were quiet as he started to sway side to side, and I could just feel myself becoming more and more peaceful in his arms, and I swear I was struggling to keep my eyes open.
I should have told Lisa to shut the hell up last night so I could sleep.
"Tired?" he asked, tilting my chin up, and chuckling when he saw my struggle with consciousness.
"Yeah."
"You're becoming almost as monosyllabic as I am."
"How can you say you're monosyllabic when you come out with words like that. That's like, five syllables."
"Polysyllabic."
"Smart ass."
He chuckled, chest rumbling as the rich sound vibrated around. I smiled too, before he scooped me up bridal style and sat on the nearest sofa with me on his lap.
The twins wolf whistled, and whereas normally I thought nothing of it, after last nights conversation with Lisa, I was starting to wonder, about... things.
"Takashi." I said very, very quietly, thankful that he had supersonic hearing.
"Hmm?"
Damn me... I was jumping in the deep end.
"Have you..." I sucked in a lungful of air before continuing "have you ever thought about having sex with me?"
I felt him tense, and he looked at me with large startled eyes.
"I-it's just something Lisa said last night, I didn't think- I- God, I'm just going to go now."
I made to get up, but his arms tightened around me.
I felt my face burn as he pulled be back onto his lap, and started staring me right in the eyes.
"Are you serious?" he asked, sounding slightly shocked, but more or less back to his normal self.
Insert sigh here.
"Yes."
Then, his expression softened, and he smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling.
"What do you think?"
I knew what I was thinking. I knew he knew I knew what I was thinking, and I knew he knew that I knew what he was thinking, and he was thinking that he knew what I was thinking.
And that was YES.
I think.
I felt my face burning anyways, and his cocky smile just about confirmed everything. I smiled shyly and muttered quietly;
"Oh."
Great, I sounded like some blond freak show. Well, not necessarily, but I sounded stupid.
He chuckled, and pulled me into a gentle hug, kissing my forehead.
"Sa-Chan! Your friend is really nice!" cried Honey, beaming at me from across the room, arms wrapped around Lisa's waist, the twins playing with her hair Kyouya still trying to hold a conversation with her, but even he admitted defeat as Tamaki bounded over with a dress and begged her to try it on.
She looked over at me, as if asking if this was normal.
"Just do it, otherwise he'll cry."
"But... I don't see why I have to."
"Tamaki, grab a dress for me and Haruhi, we'll dress up too."
Haruhi face palmed and shook her head, while I slid neatly of Takashi's lap (despite protests) and went over to Lisa and Haruhi. She tried to move, but with Honey still clinging onto her, and the twins messing around, she tripped, and fell right into a very large, expensive looking lamp... but then again, what in here doesn't look expensive?
"OW!" she cried, as Honey landed on top of her, looking very shocked, and the twins had tried to catch her, but failed.
It seemed like the lamp fell in slow motion, Haruhi tried to catch it, but missed it by inches.
I covered my eyes, braced for a smash and a sudden billion yen debt to Kyouya, but I didn't hear one. I slowly peaked through my fingers, and saw Takashi standing the lamp up right.
"Nice one Mori sempai!" grinned the twins, high fiving him.
"Wow Takashi, you moved fast!" laughed Honey, bounding up to him and hugging him.
"Why couldn't he have done that with me?" grumbled Haruhi, shuffling her feet.
I heard and laughed quietly, earning myself a jab to the ribs, but I ignored her and moved to help a stunned Lisa up.
"Almost as clumsy as Haruhi." I laughed, making Kyouya smirk and the twins l.o.l.
"I resent that." muttered the smaller brunette.
"Anyways... the dresses?" I asked, looking at Tamaki who magically had another two dresses with him.
I don't know where he keeps pulling them from, and I don't want to find out.
"Right, come on, let's get this over with." muttered Haruhi snatching her dress from a grinning Tamaki
We walked into the back room to change, and I laughed when I heard Tamaki say;
"Mommy! We have three daughters now!"
