Chapter Eight Breaking in the new Puppy
The twins glanced at each other as Mikan thumped through the door. Gloom hanging over their heads. The more they thought about it, the stupider it seemed. She had been serving tea right in front of them, and they hadn't noticed. Granted they were to bored to be really being paying much mind to anything but themselves.
But her screams, they had just sat there. Like idiots watching her as she squirmed and clutched her hands in pain. Really they all had.
She probably would have had more severe burns had it not been for Haruhi's quick reactions.
They glanced from the edge of the couch as they watched her pour the tea, from the steaming teapot in the tiny cups. The bandages gone, replaced by red inflamed skin, that she was trying to hide beneath the sleeves of her replacement dress.
"You can't pour tea clumsy." They told her as they yanked the teapot out of her hands deciding it would be better if they served instead and shoved her over to couch, "Stay puppy."
She sat as a look of confusion, anger, and general amusement came across her face as she leaned back into the couch, loosing all her posture and poise. They stomped around placing the teacups at the tables as she followed behind, scolding, "No you got the placement wrong."
She would change up the cups, putting the saucers a hint to the right, or a spoon on the left.
'You still can't pour tea." They told her, stealing the teapot away.
"Says who?" She huffed crossing her arms, "As my mom says, you fall off the horse you get right back on. Give it here. You can't do it right anyways."
'Shoo commoner." They waved her away, "You're not the only one who can pour tea."
"No." She answered, snatching the pot from their hands and clutching it to her chest, "I'm the only one who can do it correctly. Besides, don't you have customers to, cough, entertain?"
They glanced at each other, "Do you not like it when we get so close to one another? Does it make you nervous?" as they spoke, they wrapped their arms tighter around each other.
"No, just sick to my stomach." She answered, as her eye twitched just the slightest muttering about the rich and inbreeding.
"Do not insult your masters." They scolded bonking her on the head.
She loosened the collar she had added to her general costume as she laughed, turning to face them with a smirk of her face, "Whoa now. Where getting in a whole new level here."
They only stared at her, as she laughed again turning away, finishing the pouring of the tea. They couldn't relax following her every move, until she snapped asking them to simply, "Go make out in the corner, or bother Haruhi or whatever else it is you two do while your waiting. But stop breathing down my back. By the way you could use some breath mints."
The twins relented watching her from the cover of the couch, as Tamaki took his turn to rant at her and the dangerous of tea.
"We agreed not serve our costumers this foul liquid! It's no surprise that an accident hasn't happened before! Now we know it's unsafe for their delicate-"
She turned, as she sat down the pot down, her arms crossed, "Tamaki-sempi I understand that you are worried for the general safety of the girls you entertain, however I think you are insuatiting that they are to weak to even enjoy the simplest of bervages. Which I might add, as a female myself may take it to heart, that their King is someone who otherwise looks down upon the female race, as weak beings unable to fend for themselves."
He turned to ash, as it was then blown into his corner. The twins applauded as she yelled at them, "DON"T YOU START!"
Tamaki simply muttered in his corner, as Mikan slapped hand to her face walking over and sitting near him.
"Tamaki-sempi, I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings. But you must be careful of how you talk about girls, we're fickle creatures-"
He glanced at her before turning back to the corner, "I was just trying to help."
"I know. And that's a wonderful quality." She answered.
"She'll never get him to come out." The twins whispered to each other as they watched, their boredom temporarily cured.
"Please Tamaki-sempi. I'm very sorry I forced you to feel so dejected." She told him as she ran a hand down his back in a soothing motion.
"No." He whispered as he suddenly stood up, "It is I who should feel the shame. Thank you Mikan-" He grabbed her hands as he leaned in closer, she leaned away, "For you have shown me the error of my ways. Such a helpful puppy."
She smiled and blinked removing her hands, waltzing over to the couch as she leaned over the twins who pulled back from their look out spot.
"You were watching the entire time weren't you?" She asked
"Maybe." They shrugged, "Why do you care?"
She rolled her eyes, moving past them as she greeted Haruhi. They talked like they had known each other for years.
"How does she do it?" Hariku whispered to Karou who shrugged.
"She's the puppy remember. Likable by everyone." He answered, "A thing to be petted, and pampered."
"And played with." Hariku finished as his twin suddenly matched his smile.
He grabbed a pillow, tossing it across the floor, "Fetch Puppy."
She glanced at them, "What do I get?"
They looked at each other, "Nothing."
"Then no. If you want a retriever you should have gotten a lab." She told them as she turned back to her conversation with Haruhi, though it was mostly Mikan doing the talking.
They glanced at each other, "Are you stupid puppy?"
She glanced at them, "Are you insuating something about my intelligence, or perhaps you have something to say about Kyoya's ability to judge character?"
They shut their mouths faster than they had opened, lifting the pillow themselves and sitting on the couch again. Puppy had a nasty bite when she wanted to.
She clapped, "Aww, who are the good masters? You are. You are. You got the pillow. Good boys." Before she laughed.
They blinked, did she just tease them?
The thought rendered them emotionless, as they tried to comprehend the fact that they may have just been teased. Not even Haruhi teased them. They were the teaser, the pranksters, and the little devils.
"Mikan-chan are you feeling better?" the high voice of Honey cried as he tugged Mori behind him," We rushed here, because we didn't get to see you today."
She smiled, "Of course Honey. Thank you. There's cake on the table if you want some."
She had gotten him cake. It was all so much. The twins clutched their heads, as they let out loud moans, "Take it away. Take it away. She shouldn't have been spawned."
"Are they okay?" Mikan asked as she glanced over at the twins who clutched their reeling heads. Haruhi only shrugged as she leaned against the chair, yawning, "I guess. They tend to me a little dramatic like Tamaki."
"Ah." Mikan answered, "So you want to come over this weekend? I'm going to be at my temporary house, while they do some work. I can introduce you to Star Trek."
Star Trek? They wondered, but it didn't matter. Mikan was inviting Haruhi, not anyone else. That meant she, no he was her favorite.
"We're coming to." They announced as the sat between them forcing Mikan to get off the small couch. She raised an eyebrow, as she instead made herself comfy on Kaoru's lap.
"Fine by me. 'She answered, "Your very comfy you know that."
He shoved her off, as she in turned grabbed his arm to yank him off, "Come on. I'm letting you over to my house, the least you can do it let me sit."
He tore his arm from her grip, "No. Puppy should sit on the floor."
Mikan huffed instead crushing Haruhi, who gasped at the sudden weight on his legs.
"Gah, please get off."
Mikan glared for good measure, before she moved off to Honey who glanced up at her with a knowing smile.
"Uh, Mikan-Chan could we also come to your house?" He asked his eyes getting wider if at all possible.
"Sure. The more the merrier. Tamaki you coming to?"
"To your house?" He asked as his eyes begin to sparkle and he twirled, "It would be the greatest honor, to sit in the house of a mere commoner."
She snorted, "I'll take that as a yes. I'll leave you to invite Kyoya."
The twins glanced at each other. The shadow king attends as well? That would make things interesting. They loved it when things were interesting.
Speaking of which, his voice suddenly called out that, "The guests will be arriving in two minutes. Mikan did you manage to set up today with out accidents?"
"Besides the fact that I almost lost a leg and right eye?" She asked as she thumped back over, "Yes."
"We made sure you didn't do anything of the sort-" They started, as Haruhi's voice chimed in, "I believe she was being sarcastic."
They lowered their heads, as Mikan again clapped smiling. "Whose the good smart masters?
They glared, but unable to come up with a snappy comeback as Tamaki called for them to assemble. She began to thump away.
"Oh no you don't. You're apart of this family, and you'll like it." They told her as they grabbed her arms, dragging her over to the others.
"Whoa!" She yelled, as they tried to lift her up in the air. It would be cute if they could hold her like a puppy. It was harder with the dress and the cast added a few pounds.
"You're going to drop me." She yelled, as she was suddenly yanked out their grasp by Mori who simply held her in the air as her arms hung by her sides.
"Mori. You can put me down." She told him as he gently lowered her.
"She should sit front of Tamaki."Kyoya told them, as she sank in to the ground on her knees, trying to make sure that anyone walking wouldn't be able to see up her skirt.
"Welcome." They greeted as the girls filed in, starting the usual small talk, as Mikan slid off the floor carrying a tray around filled with the teapot and cups.
"Is it safe for her to be doing such tasks?" a girl asked Karou as they sat drinking the most delicious commoner tea.
"Our puppy is very stubborn.' The twins smiled, "She bit us twice today you know."
The girls turned to glance at the pink haired maid as she limped about.
"Do you think its ill breeding?" One commented
"Do you not approve of Kyoya's taste?" Hikaru asked
"Yes you are insulting a host." Kaoru continued, as the girl flushed, "No of course not I think she's a wonderful puppy, perhaps she simply needs more training."
"We don't mind when she bites. It doesn't hurt us at all." They smiled, "We're quite used to biting."
The girls swooned screaming 'KYA!"
"Does she do tricks?" one asked eagerly clasping her hands together.
They smiled, "Of course. That was the first thing we taught her. Watch her play fetch."
Hikaru picked up a small teacup as Kaoru called out, "FETCH PUPPY!" as he tossed the teacup to where she was standing.
The teacup rolled and clattered against the floor, now chipped from the impact. Mikan glanced at her feet, as she picked it up placing it on her tray.
"See." The twins smiled, "She is very well trained." Not noticing how the puppy had begun to bristle throwing them dirty looks in between her sweet smiles.
"What else can she do?" the girls inquired now interested to see the commoner perform.
"What do you want her to do?" Hikaru smiled as Kaoru snapped his fingers, "Here Puppy."
She took her time, serving the other tables first before she stopped at theirs.
"Sit puppy." They ordered expecting her to simply drop to the floor. Instead, she shrugged plopping straight onto Hikaru lap, crushing his legs as he let out a gasp of annoyance at the sudden added weight.
"NO PUPPY!" They yelled together smacking her on the head, as Hikaru added a second swat for good measure onto her nose.
He found his hand a minute late in her mouth as she chomped down hard. The table was silent for a minute, and then, "SHE BIT ME! THE PUPPY BIT ME! I HAVE RABIES! I'm FULL OF DISEASES! I"LL DIE! QUICK SOMEONE GET THE RABID MUTT OUT OF HERE!" He stood up pushing the chair away; as she pushed herself up to avoid hitting the floor with a loud thump.
The girls squealed holding onto each other crying out, "Poor poor Hikaru!" as another yelled to, "GET HER AWAY! QUCIK! QUICK!"
Mikan stared in confusion as she sat down the tray on the table to avoid another accident, before glancing down at Hikaru who was rolling on the floor now moaning in pain, "The light is fading."
The girls stopped their chatter, at such a dramatic line, as they realized then once again something exciting was happening.
"Kyoya-sempi shouldn't something be done about the puppy?"
He smiled at the princess as she stared at him with worried eyes, "Of course, proper measure will be taken. Mori please come remove the puppy."
The giant was seen a moment later with Mikan over his shoulder as Honey scolded her over and over about how she shouldn't bite people.
"His hand was right there." was the last thing that was heard until the club doors slammed shut.
"What's going to happen to Mikan?" Haruhi asked as Kyoya only smiled his usual calm smile, "Nothing really. It just seems the guests look at her as a threat."
"WHAT! YOU'RE GETTING RID OF MIKAN!" Tamaki yelled as the girls gasped, as some tended to Haruki and Karou or gathered around Tamaki.
"You won't get rid of the puppy will you?" a girl asked, "She's so sweet. I'm sure she just didn't know any better."
"Yes." a unified call of girls rang out.
"But she bit Hikaru. She could be full of disease.," another girl pointed out as Haruhi sighed.
I don't have any diseases, she thought to herself as Kyoya spoke above the rest.
"I can assure you I made sure she was vaccinated."
But the girls seemed to preoccupy of rather Mikan aka the puppy was a dangerous part of the host club.
"She could bite one of us."
"MIKAN HAS NEVER BITTEN ME!" A blonde yelled out.
"Yui's right. We see her everyday." Her friend agreed.
"Maybe that's because she's been waiting for the perfect opportunity."
The girls began to chat among themselves, as they seem to split over keeping the puppy or ridding of her.
"Enough, we will keep the puppy. She will just have to be better trained." Tamaki interjected," Besides if we get rid of her. Where will she go? Who will look after her?"
Haruhi sighed, glad to know that Mikan was nowhere near to see this as Tamaki floated around the room.
"But Milord, what if she had bitten you? If a dog bites it's master should it not be rid of?" The twins asked as Kaoru wrapped his arms around Hikaru.
"It's okay brother I'm here now. She won't be able to bite you again."
"It's our fault really." A girl sighed, as she twirled her brown hair as her friends gasped, "We just wanted to see the puppy do some tricks."
"No. It's not your fault." Tamaki clasped her hands in his, as she turned away flushed, "It is ours. The host club. We have failed-"
Haruhi was very glad indeed that Mikan was not here to see this.
"Where did Mori take her?" she asked aloud, though she didn't get an answer.
"Mori please put me down."
"Shh, bad puppy!" Honey swatted her on the head.
"Honey that wasn't nice." Mikan commented as Mori slid her off setting her down by a tree.
"Stay puppy." Honey ordered as he sat in front her.
"No." She answered as lifted herself up off the ground and began to walk away.
"Takashi quick stop her." Honey begged as he tugged on his arm.
Mori glanced at Honey but as he went to lift Mikan she turned and hissed, "Not this time buster. You hauled me through the school halls all the way out to the garden. If you want to lift something go lift some weights."
He stopped, before raising an eyebrow and easily lifting her up in the air holding her at an arms length.
"Stay." He said simply before he sat her back down on the ground.
She sighed, picking at the blades of grass as she sprawled her legs on the grass letting her thighs stretch. My god, she thought to herself a midget and a giant is holding me hostage, what a twisted turn of events.
"Oh I'm so sorry Mikan-chan, please don't be sad." Honey cried as he hugged her around the waist. She stared up at the tree rolling her eyes, "It's fine Honey. Really. I just get tiered sometimes of being treated like a puppy."
"But you are a puppy." He started.
She slapped a hand against her face as shook her head giggling, "Right. You do realize they provoked me."
"They provoked you?" Honey repeated as he crawled back to sit with Mori who sat still looking down at her or maybe the grass. She couldn't tell.
"Yep." She answered with a shrug, "He waved his hand in front of my face, and I'm sorry to say it looked like a bone."
"Oh that makes sense right Mori?" Honey asked as he stared up at his friend who gave a slight nod of his head.
"So does he say anything, -ever?" Mikan asked as she glanced at Mori who stared back meeting her eyes. Creepy she decided looking away instead at the tree branches.
"Sometimes." Honey smiled, "He doesn't like to really talk to anyone."
She nodded again, "So can we go back yet?"
"No." Honey answered, "Kyoya asked us to take you out-"
"Oh in that case let's go get something to eat, I'm starving." Mikan smiled, "Isn't your tummy hungry?"
Honey felt his stomach growl; "We could go get some noodles from Rita-San shop."
"Is it close by?" Mikan asked raising an eyebrow
"Of course." Honey answered as stood up, "The limo will take us. But wait will you be able to buy anything-" He paused, "You could take us to a commoners noodle shop."
"Sure." She answered, "Haruhi was telling me about this place she eats at all the time."
Honey led as he clambered into the limo and Mikan watched as Mori ducked low enough to fit in, "Wow. That's impressive." She commented as she followed in taking a seat and the limo pulled out.
Haruhi sat on the couch, watching uninterested as a battle had unfurled between Tamaki and the twins, as the girls argued for one or the either.
He sighed, his head beginning to thrum with a dull pain.
"I'm the king and I say we keep her."
"Then we'll quit." The twins retorted, "We don't want to be injured by the mongrel again."
"But she's so cute." some cried
"We'll be next.," someone yelled and it started all over again.
"Are you going to put an end to this soon?" He asked as he turned to Kyoya.
"And ruin all this wonderful drama?" He asked, "No of course not. This will make our club exceedingly popular. Besides these things have a way of working themselves out organically."
"YOU DON"T HAVE THE GUTS TO QUIT!" Tamaki started
"WATCH US!" The twins answered, but the girls would rush them with pleas for them to stay.
"We only come because of you.' They told them as the twins watch Tamaki fume.
"All right. We could stick around here a little longer." They answered smiling at each other.
"How disgusting."
Haruhi glanced at the voice, "Hey."
"Hey. Want some noodles, there from that odddles of noodles-"Mikan offered as she held a Styrofoam bowl and fork, "Picked up your favorites."
"Thanks." Haruhi smiled as he dug in, "So good."
"We ended up going because Honey was hungry and Kyoya had said to take me out." Mikan explained as she slurped down more noodles, "I tell you that kid can pack away some noodles. He ordered ten bowls after his first. Couldn't get enough-"
Haruhi nodded as he stuffed more noodles into his mouth, "Yum."
"So glad you told me about this place." Mikan smiled, "I don't think Mori was happy, but it's hard to tell. He was stuck carrying like two huge bags filled with ten different bowls of noodles for Honey. I tried to get him to try some, but he kept refusing. "
Haruhi nodded again as she yawned, "Good to have you back. They've been fighting about you since you were carried out."
"Really?" MIkan asked as she giggled," What about?"
"Whether to keep you, the mongrel, as the twins put it or to get rid of you." Haruhi explained, "Apparently there split between getting bitten or the fact that you're cute."
"Fascinating." Mikan snorted as she suddenly raised her head, "You know what's weird, I noticed that the rich seem to be addicted to commoner food."
"You should see Tamaki. He loves all cheap snacks we get out the vending machines." Haruhi laughed as she ate more noodles.
"YOU!" The twins yelled as they turned to Mikan who sat sipping her noodles, "YOU SICK MONGREAL WE TOLD YOU TO GET OUT!"
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Tamaki yelled back as the girls swooned on either side.
"All right now they're giving me a headache."
Mikan glanced over as Haruhi clutched his head, "Do you want some Aleve?"
"Yes. That might help." He admitted as Mikan walked away slamming the door behind her.
"PUPPY! COME BACK PUPPY!" Tamaki yelled running out the doors.
"Yes, please come back!" the girls followed after the king as the halls became a mass of yellow.
The twins shrugged at the now empty room sitting on the couch on either side of Haruhi, "We're bored again."
"After all of that your bored again?" Haruhi asked amazed sitting back, "You two are amazing."
"AWWW! Haruhi that's the nicest thing you've ever said to us!" They smiled as she choked from there arms crushing his windpipe.
"Do you hear that?" He asked as a commotion sounded from outside.
"What do we care?" The twins shrugged leaning back.
"I thought you two said you were bored-"Haruhi started
"We are." They smiled, "but not that bored as to see what the commotion is."
"Ah." He nodded to lazy himself to see.
The door flung itself open as Mikan was once again carried in by Mori across his shoulder as Honey talked about how a puppy shouldn't run off because they hadn't given her permission, as Mikan retorted she was a puppy and didn't know how to listen as Tamaki cried behind for them "to put the poor creature down."
"I don't want to die." Mikan told him, but no one seemed to understand it. She rolled her eyes looking between fed up and amused, fingered something in her hand before she raised herself up by her hands off Mori's back, enough to chuck a small pill bottle to Haruhi who glanced at the label, Aleve.
"DON"T TAKE IT!" The twins yelled snatching it away, "THE PUPPY IS A DRUG DEALER!"
They smiled please at each other, as they watched the girls go wild as they had returned finding that Mori had carried the puppy back. There were squeals of terror and excitement from outside, as Kyoya announced that the host club would close ten minutes early due to the mishap with their puppy, "If you return tomorrow, you will find she has been sent to training, we hope to have her back by the end of the week."
The girls all glanced at each other as they dispersed back into the hall giggling and chatting as they texted on the phone, before the two oak doors shut.
"Can I get down now?" She asked as Honey smacked her again, saying "No. Not until Kyoya says so."
'Honey what did I say about hitting me?" She asked glaring down rubbing her now sore head.
His eyes filled with tears as he ran around to the front of Mori hugging her leg, "I'm sorry Mikan-chan, please don't be mad."
She yawned, "I'm not angry Honey."
"Mori you may set the Puppy down by Haruhi." Kyoya told him, as Mori lifted her off, and she slid to sit at Haruhi's feet.
"Where you belong." The twins smiled down at her.
"Don't you start-"She hissed as she grabbed the pill bottle that sat on the floor, "Did you get to take some, it will help your headache."
"Thanks." Haurhi smiled as he popped two of the pills before handing the bottle back to her on the floor.
"Oh puppy's a drug dealer." The twins teased in a sing song voice, "Is this how you afford food?"
"Meh. I strip dance for that. " She shrugged, 'Puppy's tiered."
She stretched out on the floor closing her eyes as she rested her head on her arms, sighing.
"Why don't you look that cute Haruhi?' The twins asked as Haruhi rolled his eyes.
"I didn't realize you guys watched me while I slept."
"Creepers." Mikan commented laughing from the floor.
"How can you forgive them!" Tamaki asked as he knelt by her, ripping his hair.
"See Milord. She knows who she serves-GAH!" Hikaru started until he leapt into the air and Mikan rubbed her eyes, "I warned you."
"You didn't have to bite my ankle!" He yelled, as Tamaki only laughed at them.
"Good puppy." He patted her head.
"It's not a good idea to encourage bad behavior, Tamaki-sempi," Honey warned from across the room as he dug into the cake he had been forced to leave. Tamaki froze turning to ash, and smacking Mikan hard on the head instead as she moaned, "Ow."
"Ahh! I'm so sorry." He started again, "So sorry-"
"Forget it." She snapped, "I forgive you. I'm a puppy."
"Host club is finished for the day." Kyoya announced, "Unfortunately for you, Haruhi, your debt has increased due to the twins lack of control over the puppy."
Haruhi smacked his forehead as he sighed how that even worked out was sure beyond the grapples of his mind. He would work off the debt eventually.
"Mikan clean up." He ordered as he walked out the door an ashy Tamaki in tow, "Come on Idiot, you may want to shape up before your fans see you."
"See you tomorrow." Mikan said as she waved to the twins and Haruhi as they grabbed their bags, "Hopefully it will be a little less eventful tomorrow."
Though it's highly unlikely she thought to herself as she began to stack the teacups and saucers.
Oh what's going to happen? I know! you don't! Laughs again. PLease review or fav! Thanx so much.
