Gossip is Wild Fire

The host club was perhaps the most popular and well-known club in the school. It was also the most talked about, wild rumors popped up around every corner, from Tamaki was going to cancel the club due to hunny's excessive cake eating, to the twins were going to get married. Everybody knew they weren't true, but still they grew, and grew.

The flavor of the week: The New Girl, all the customers who had been their witness that event had resulted in a constant buzz of whispers. Those who had come after, quickly discovered a somewhat altered if not almost true version of the story.

"They really made her cry for hours on end?" Someone was asking. Momo rolled her eyes as she, Ria and Yui sat in western history. The teacher had given up using the last ten minutes of class to teach anything relevant.

"Can you believe the things their saying?" Momo asked

"No, but we weren't really any better were we?" Ria asked

"Yeah, the things we said yesterday, that maybe she was poor." Yui finished in a whisper, "I think she was simply nervous. She was sitting in the back all by herself yesterday."

"If we hadn't come along it would have spelled her doom." Ria agreed, "It's not like we were being bad friends or anything. It's okay if everyone's talking about it."
"And it's not like we're spreading rumors." Momo finished, "We just told the truth of what we saw. I was walking into school today and you'll never believe it. Hunny was waiting outside with Mori, by the front doors with his bunny. He had the cutest umbrella!"

"Oh we know. We saw as we passed by, the one with pink bunnies." Ria laughed, "He seemed a little worried."

"I wonder what he was standing outside in the rain for?" Yui asked, "I saw Hariku and Karou doing the same thing only at a back entrance, where the path splits to the middle school."

Momo and Ria stared at each other, "They we're waiting for her!"

"WHO?"

"The new girl." Ria exclaimed it's so obvious, "Hunny and Mori, the twins. How sweet! That means they didn't apologize yesterday. Or maybe they did and she was still mad. She isn't at school today!"

The newcomer clapped her hands, running away to spread the new tidbit, from the girls who had actually met the new girl.

"Maybe we should start calling her by her first name." Momo said guilt lining her voice, "Do you remember what it was?"

"Oh I think it was-Mikan." Yui exclaimed, "Yeah! I remembered her name."

"Good job." Ria answered rolling her eyes, "We'll have to remember that. Why do you think she didn't come to school today?"

"Maybe she really did like them." Momo answered, "Like love at true sight, yet she was unable to expresser her feelings-"

"No they probably rejected her." Rai interrupted, 'And her heart was broken, and she's crying in her pillow."

"Maybe she ran home before they could apologize, and decided to run away to avoid further humiliation!" Yui gasped, "Oh that poor commoner, out in the big world all alone with no one to care for her!"

"Yui! We don't know if she's poor." Rai scolded, "But you have to admit it does seem suspicious. I mean if you have the money, why wouldn't you want to wear these fabulous yellow dresses."

"Maybe her mother's a fashion designer. And won't allow her to wear anything that she doesn't design." Momo commented

Yui gasped, "Really? I hope she'll give me some clothes! I wonder which designer her mom is?"

"Yet Mikan doesn't really seem like the fashion type. What's with the pink hair anyways?" Ria asked feathering her own brown locks, that she had pulled back today, fingering the jewel encrusted butterfly pin, "I think I would die if my hair was that color."

"Maybe she has a really bad coloring job." Momo answered, "Remember when Nabiki wanted to giver her hair natural highlights and tried to red with her honey blonde."
"Oh and turned that horrible shade of burnt orange." Ria gasped," I would dye my hair pink as well if it turned out that way."

"Maybe she likes the color pink." Yui told them, "I don't think it looks bad on her at all."

The girls again looked down in shame, they we're gossiping about a girl who could have easily just had her entire world shattered.

"We should visit her!" Momo announced pointing her finger in the air, "We shall miss out on our favorite extracurricular activates to comfort our friend.

Yui clapped, "Oh I've never been to a commoners house."

"Yui!" Ria whispered, " Must I remind you again, you cannot simply assume these things, her mother could quite possibly be a fashion designer."

"Free clothes!" Yui pumped her arms in the air, "I cannot wait to visit. We should bring something to make her feel better."

"What do you think Mikan would like?" Momo pondered aloud, "I always love it when I'm aloud to pick first out of the latest dress, maybe we should get her a dress in her favorite colors."

"But we don't know what her favorite color is?" Ria sighed, "We only met her yesterday. I love it when I visit my family's private hot springs! It helps soothe any woes I' ve had."

The two looked at Yui who seemed to be in deep thought, "I GOT IT!" She paused dramatically," A puppy!'

"AWWW! Yui that so cute! And perfect! Who doesn't like puppies." The two girls sighed, "But what kind of puppy?"

"Well, Mikan has crazy hair right, so right not a Papillion? They have the cutest ears. And it would be easy to take care of right, I heard it was a huge rage in America for the wealthy to carry their dogs in their purses."

"Oh I heard about that." Rai answered, "A Papillion would defiantly suit her!"

"I'll get my mother to pick one up, she was going shopping today anyways." Momo smiled, as she texted away on her phone, "Oh we can put a big pink bow, and in a box!"

"Do we know where she lives?" Yui asked," How do we find her address. Maybe we have to hack into the school's files to get it, do we even know her last name?"

"Oh yeah." Rai sighed, "Wait we can easily find that out, we have people!"

"Oh right." Yui sighed happily, "Your such a genius Rai."
"Well I try." Rai smiled, pulling out her own phone, "Got it. We'll have the limo drop us by today after school. It seems live in a pretty obscure area."

/Yui's inner mind theater/

A small shack in the middle of the woods, with the roof half fallen in and rats running around the outside. A girl in a checked skirt and a ragged apron appears, her pink hair dirty, "Hi guys! Sorry the place is a bit of a mess."

She looks at the puppy, "Oh you brought dinner."
/End theater/

"Yui? Yui?" Momo waved her hand in front of her face, "Hello? What do you think we should name the dog?"

"DINNER!" She yelled. Rai and Momo simply exchanged a look, "Right Yui!" Rai patted her shoulder, "How about something cuter, like Cho? Papillion are known for their butterfly ears aren't they? It's like perfect."

"So cute." Momo agreed," It's settled, we shall enact operation cheer up Mikan!"

"Yeah!" Rai and Yui shouted in unison.

…………..

"Wow!" the three stood outside a huge wrought iron gate, "That's a big house."

The puppy yipped inside the box, scratching at the sides, Yui gripped the box tighter.

"Come on, we need to give Mikan her present." Rai gulped stepping forward. The house seemed to be on a tilt, with crooked windows and a slanted roof. It reminded her of all the old Victorian houses she had seen in England, but this one was made of brick and stone, with a large porch.

"Oh wow look at this door knob." Momo said in awe, "it's in the shape of a-?"

"Parrot!" Yui yelled, "How cute-Come on lets go in." She threw the doors open, forgetting her manners for the moment. "Mikan-kan! Are you home?"

It was pitch black until the lights flashed on as a shadow appeared from the depths of the ceiling, almost floating down.

"Can I help you?" it asked
"Kya!" Yui screamed, running back out the door to her friends.

"Please excuse her, -"Momo paused pulling out her phone and flipping through for a few moments "Ms. Tanaka."
"Ms?" The woman asked laughing, "Am I really that old?"

She was tall, like a model in a pair of loose fitting pants and a tang top, Do I look like my mother? No I'm Kagame. happens to be my mother, what can I help you with?"

"Well, I am Momo." Momo introduced herself stepping into the spotlight, as Ria and Yui huddled behind each other, "We were looking for Mikan."

"Oh right, she's off attending school. I'm sorry, but she's not home at the moment. She had an accident and is in the hospital receiving treatment for her injuries." She explained quickly, "If that's all-"

"But-" Momo asked, but Kagame had some how floated up again, as if she didn't even realize the three of them were still waiting, and disappeared into the darkness of the ceiling as the lights shut off.

The three looked at each other, "O to-"

"To the M-"

"To the G' Yui finished, "I have to tell Tenten and Renge and Hinata." As she fished out her cell phone her fingers flying as she typed away at the keys.

"Same here.' Rai and momo answered pulling out their own phones, "This is serious."

The puppy continued to knock around in its box, as they picked him back up and returned to the limo.

'We'll have to give it to her tomorrow." Yui said, as she held the box on her lap, "Poor Cho. He'll have to wait another day to meet his new master."

"Yeah, poor Mikan-kun. I wonder what happened?" Rai said concerned, she glanced at Momo.

"Oh yeah." Momo agreed, "But talk about a strange house-"

All three nodded as they let everybody know about their latest adventure with the new girl, ahem Mikan.

…………….

"You hurt her feelings so much, that she hurt herself?" Tamaki yelled as he read the five text messages on his phone, "How could you do such a thing?"

The twins sighed, "Milord these are rumors started by the girls. You should not take such things seriously."

"Oh I hope she's alright." Hunny cried as he held his bunny, "That's why she probably why she didn't come to school today."
Mori gave his shoulder a tight squeeze, "She is alright."

Hunny smiled, "Okay. We should do something nice for her when she comes back."

Tamaki stopped in mid rant "Hunny-chan you are most amazing! And what do women love most?"

"Chocolate and cake!" Hunny answered

"Money and clothes." The twins yelled

"None of those-"Tamaki raised his finger, "They love to be flattered, pampered-"

"Are you sure?' Huruhi asked," You may just up making it worse."

Tamaki turned pale right running into his corner of woe, cultivating mushrooms. Everybody simply ignored him, used to his antics long ago.

"What do you think Huruhi?" Honey asked," You are a girl after all."
"Well when my mother was in the hospital we used to bring her flowers on occasion. She would smile, and tell me they reminded her of all the happy things. Summer, the beach, the park where she would sometimes take me when I was very little."

"Aww Huruhi! That is so cute!" Tamaki yelled, snapped out of his corner of woe, "Your commoner wisdom has once again been shown."

Huruhi struggled as she attempted to get out of his death grip.

"Milord, you are making her unable to breathe." The twins yelled snagging her back.

"It's settled we shall give her flowers. When she steps through the door you two shall hand her a bouquet. She'll be so touched by your kindness, that forget any ill feelings."

"I hope so-"Kyoya commented, "You do realize what this could do to our clubs image, it would mean a lost of costumers. And that would not fare well for anyone of you." His glasses glinted, as everybody ran for cover at his evil shadow lord look.

"Can I give her flowers as well?" Hunny asked after they had fled far enough away for Kyoya's death glare.

"Of course." Tamaki answered, "I can see it now. She'll have the one bouquet and be again over whelmed with feelings of pure joy!"

"Excellent." Kyoya smirked.

He knows something, Huruhi noted, That he's keeping from the rest of them.

The day the evil shadow king reviled something before he was ready was the day when Hunny got sick of cake.

Never.

So she kept it to herself, though Tamaki was on another rant after reading the latest text he had received, "She lives in a hunted house in the middle of the woods, with an evil sister who feeds her nothing but old cheese. This poor princess!"

Huruhi sighed, Here we go again.

Did you enjoy? Quite a twist no?LOL
