Chapter Thirty One Fetch, Puppy, Fetch
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Masters, the phone is for you-"
They blinked as they rubbed their eyes. Hikaru and Kaoru glanced at each other from underneath the very warm covers of their bed. Hikaru threw his arm around his brother who rolled his eyes and reached out one hand to answer it.
"Hello." He drolled into the phone.
"GOOD MORNING MY LIL DEVILS! MY AGENTS OF CHAOS!"
He dropped the phone and groaned, rubbing his head into his brothers chest, digging his hands into his back,
"Brother, "He whined, "The Godess has called to early in the morning."
Hikaru rolled his eyes as he reached down onto the floor and picked up the phone, "Good Morning all that is lovely within the world, how may we serve you?"
"Well first off your eggs are way cold for this hour of the morning and second you don't have any gooseberry jam." Kagame commentd as HIkaru glared at the phone.
"What are you talking about?" He asked as his brother only shrugged.
SLAM!
They jumped four feet in the air letting out a horrible scream, "AHHHHHHH!"
It had come from their double door closet as the door swung back with a horrible cringe.
Kagame stood in fully blue robed glory with a pair of bunny slippers peeping out from beneath it. She was finishing off a piece of toast as she sucked down a cup of tea tossing it to the maids who quickly caught it. She glided over to the edge of the bed as they quickly scrambled out of the way, making sure to stay hidden under the covers.
She belched, and adjusted her robes as she let out a cough, touching up her hair.
"Godess." They ventured, "What are you doing at our house so early this morning?"
They weren't going to ask how she had slipped into their closet or what she was she doing in there, she either tell them with relish or toture them with a coy smile.
She smiled at them as she ripped of her robes. She was dressed already though, in a green high collared dress that had no sleeves. The skirt flared out over the bed almost reaching the floor as her heels tapped on the floor. Her nails were painted long and green like the dress as her hair was twisted in some contorted bun.
"I wanted to see if your toast had improved." She answered turning over on her tummy and scooting up on the bed, "For the truth though, Kyoya would have killed me if I did this-"
"You would dare try this on the shadow lord. 'They whispered edging foreward toward her. Kagame had become one of the household very quickly. Their mother had taken to her at the dinner party, and Kagame's previous 'modeling' experience proved to be useful when she wanted a test subject. Then of course Kagame had never really learned to leave.
When she wasn't at her own house, she was roaming the halls of the mansion and gardens chasing butterflies and drawing. They weren't sure how to get rid of her, or better yet how to keep her from getting back in once she left.
"What do you demand of us today Goddess?" They asked. It was useless to resist her demands', she would do horrible things, unspeakable things if they did.
"What do I demand?" She flicked her hair and pointed at her chest and then lifted a finger to tap her chin., "Hmmm, frog eyes and toad ears and little puppy tails."
"Fresh out." Kaoru answered.
"Come back tommorow." Hikaru chimed in as they un furled from the covers and began to put on their uniforms. It was after all a school day. They lucky enough weren't to hung over from the night before which made it all the stranger for Kagame to be over. She usually only bothered them on the weekends or the evenings.
"Aw, then I have a different demand, besides your weekly sacrifice." She laughed as she turned her back staring at the wall finding it more interesting. They dressed quickly as she turned back around.
"Oh don't we look handsome." She smiled as she swung her legs off the bed. Hikaru and Kaoru glanced at each other as they shrugged on the mandatory blue blazer's.
"You haven't told us what you need." They argued, "And we will be late for breakfast soon."
"Boys, let us discuss it over toast then." Kagame answered as she led them by the ties down the stairs. She let go as se once again glided to the room as she swung open the door with no effort. The table was already and set and ready for them to begin as Kagame took her place at the head. Their mother was in Monaco and their father with her leaving the house rather empty.
"So." She smiled as they piled on the eggs and toast and orange juice, "I need your help my evil minions."
"Evil?" They asked, "We are hardly that! We are mischevious, spiteful, sarcastic, noble,-"
"And perfect for my needs." She smiled as she clasped her hands together, "I want you to watch my sister."
"Watch?" They asked glancing at her.
"Yes. Mikan has been acting oddly-" She smiled as she sighed, "I'm worried."
"Weird is the puppies nature." They answered as they glanced at each other, 'But do go on?"
"She was singing this morning, she was skipping to the car." She glanced at her fingers, "She is recovering from her dreams being crushed, and she's singing. I think she's repressing all her emotions in order to appear happy."
"Where do we come in?" The twins asked, "Besides Mikan is always happy."
"She is not." Kagame clucked her tounge at them stirring her coffee slowly as the steam rose up and curled around in the air, "I'm worried. Mikan as you both know is a little well obsseded about dance and her career. Being expelled from dance at Ouran has shall we say, locked a few doors and closed a few windows for her."
"We don't have influence to get her back in." They began as Kagame stopped them by holding up her hand.
"You don't need to." She answered with a slight shrug of her shoulders, "But Mikan can be unstable at times when she's in a lot of turmoil. It would just be a big help if you two spied on her for the whole day. It should keep you plenty amused knowing what goes on at that school-"
She had trailed off and rolled her eyes taking a long gulp of her coffee as she set the cup back down on the saucer, "So how about it?"
The twins glanced at each other and grinned, "We would be delighted oh great exalted being that we are not worthy to be near."
"No, no your not." She nodded happy with their answers as she glanced a pocket watch on a long silver chain, "Your going to be late for school. You should arrive just before Mikan does, don't act any differently then you would."
"We won't." They chimed as they rose from the table leaving the Goddess to do what ever else she would do in their house for the day.
Their bags were waiting for the front door as they sauntered out the front drive to the waiting limo.
"School." They said simply as the driver up front nodded and the car lurched forward. They watched as the scenes flashed by the car window as they exchanged glances.
"So what do you think Kagame was suggesting Mikan would do?" Hikaru started, "We've seen her do lots of crazy things since she became a member of the host club."
"True. I think its more of her worry that she'll cry again." Kaoru answered, "She does have a lot of tears."
"She only does that in the moment when she's really upset." Hikaru answered glancing at him, "Maybe she'll be boring and this will prove to be nothing but an ordinary day."
And it was proving to be quite that as they simply stood by the front doors of the school. It was just as the first time they had run into Mikan, well they had scoffed at her and ignored her and teased her and made her cry-
"Brother here she comes." Hikaru whisperd as the Puppy sauntered up on the back of her friend Jin. Well he could count as their friend in a few ways, but it was not like they roamed within the same social levels. Jin was wearing a bright neon pink shirt with his blue blazer, the black tie hanging lazily around his neck.
Mikan was in her usual yellow plaid skirt and oxford, the red tie as she giggled waving her rain boots. Kagame had a right to be worried, the twins hadn't seen Mikan this happy since she had eaten a half jar of nutella.
"Do you think its Jin?" Karou glanced at his brother, "Perhaps they are dating?"
Hikaru considered it for a minute, "No. No. We would have known."
Kaoru glanced back as Mikan played with Jin's hair, as she gave his cheek a peck and jumped of his back, calling good bye ,"Maybe. Here she comes."
Hikaru smiled as he grabbed his brother's arm and stepped in front of the path blocking her way.
"Puppy." They greeted as they titled their heads and leaned forward, "What has got you all excited? It is spring time."
Mikan looked at them and then glanced around as she laughed, "It's to cold to be spring. And its to early for you to be so friendly, what are you doing? Do you want some brownies?"
"You have brownies?' They asked suddenly confused as Mikan laughed throwing her head back.
"None for you." She answered as she pushed by them. They caught her hair as she leaned back.
"Can I help you?" She asked as she crossed her arms and glared them, "Give me my hair back."
"No." They answered staring harder as she let them have a good smack on either side of their heads as she shook out her hair.
"Its to early for you to be so annoying to, come by third class, then bug me." Mikan answered as she stalked off into the front hall.
"Puppy wait for us." They begged instead as she took one look at them and set off in a jog, "Are we that scary?"
"Maybe she thinks you want something."
They turned as Jin greeted them with a wave of his hand, "Don't give up though, she needs to work on her endurance."
"What do you want commoner?" They hissed as they tried to stare down at Jin who gave them a smug smile and threw his arms around their shoulders tugging them close to his face.
"Well I could tell you." He glanced first at Kaoru and Hikaru, "But I like to see you squirm and guess, I heard you liked to play games."
When they didn't answer he laughed and folded over onto the floor in a hand stand as he flipped over and gave a bow, "So what game do you want to play? I like tag, and fetch. Fetch is fun."
"Fetch what?" They started
"You'll see." Jin answered with a wave of his hand as he skipped down the hall.
"That was-"Kaoru began.
"Strange ." Hikaru agreed, "Stupid commoner."
"Indeed." Kaoru shook his head, "Come on let us find the least strange of all commoners."
"Haruhi."Hikaru smiled as they walked down the hall. The masses of yellow girls swarmed and swooned as they passed who they give a little passing notice with a small wave of their hands. They were more interested when they threw their arms around each other.
"Good morning Hikaru and Kaoru." Haruhi greeted. She was yawning as she rubbed the back of her head, "You seem awful awake."
"We're not." They answered crossing their arms as Haruhi simply shrugged, "Class begins soon."
"Prompt as always.' They teased as they began forward walking down the hall, "Haruhi what does the game of fetch mean to you?"
"To me?" She asked, 'People play it with their dogs. They throw balls and sticks and the dog runs and bring it back to their master. Why?"
"Jin asked us if we wanted to play." They began.
"Jin? You mean Mikan's friend?" She asked, "Why?"
"We don't know." They answered as Haruhi rolled her eyes, "He was probably kidding around guys."
"But-" They raised a finger, Haruhi wasn't listening as she turned her back to them. They hung their heads defeated and sighed as they walked further down the hall. The thought would not leave them alone as it turned over and over, play fetch, but what could that mean?
…
The twins sat in class as they tapped their fingers on the desk, drumming away as the minutes ticked off one by one off the clock. They should be doing something useful besides wasting precious time in class.
"Sensei!"" They raised their hands, "May we be excused?"
"For what?" Their teacher asked. A prim woman with a steely gaze, but she knew they had a reputation for causing trouble, but never in her class. It helped them when they needed to be somewhere quickly.
"Please Sensei! Please!" They begged clasping their hands together as they leaned on their desks.
"Fine." She waved a hand, "If you do not return by the end of class-"
But they were halfway out of the classroom as the door slammed behind them. They smiled and high faved as they swung their bags and walked down the hall.
"What shall we do now brother?" Hikaru asked with a bounce in his step.
"I suppose we should find the puppy and see that she hasn't gotten into trouble." Karou answered
"Where would she be right now?" Hikaru tapped a finger against his chin, "We should find Kyoya in order to find Mikan, because the shadow king knows-"
"What are you doing?" a voice asked behind them as the twins leaped into the air.
The shadow king glared down upon them as they managed a weak smile.
"We were looking for puppy." They began.
"Why? So you can bother her?" Kyoya replied pushing the glasses up the ridge of his nose.
"No." The twins crossed their arms, "We wanted to make sure she was alright."
"That is uncharastically nice of you." Kyoya answered,' Are you jealous?"
"Jealous?" They cried, "Of what?"
"Oh nothing." Kyoya shrugged, "You seem to be awfully clingy though, maybe your annoyed that she no longer seems to care so much about what you think-"
"What are you talking about?" The twins demanded, "We don't like the puppy any more than the rabid mongrel she is, no matter how cute!"
"Lower your voices." Kyoya said calmly waking on, "I'm not suggesting anything, and stop calling her 'rabid' or 'mongrel' behind her back, it isn't proper. People may begin saying-"
"Saying what?" The twins hit their knees, "Please tells us Shadow Lord."
"No, if you're not clever enough to figure it out for yourselves. Its really quite sad." Kyoya turned as he continued to walk down the hall.
"Why would he say we were jealous?" Hikaru glanced at his brother who shrugged.
"I don't know. The same reason maybe he said we should stop calling her names, to her back." Karou answered, "Kyoya can be very mysterious."
It bothered them though as they walked along the halls wandering now. Kyoya hadn't mentioned where Mikan was either which was proving to be annoying.
"I remember now, Mikan had dance at this hour." Hikaru snapped his fingers.
"Do we even now where the studio rooms are?" Karou started as Hikaru simply tugged him along.
"See-"He pointed to the sign above the wooden door, "Dance studio, come on."
They pushed open the door softly, as they glanced around the wide space. There was no classes going on, every room darkened. They leaned up against the one-way glass, but no music was being played.
"This is strange." Karou commented,"Maybe she didn't have class today, since she got kicked out."
"Still." Hikaru answered as they walked further down. The rooms and lighting became scarce as the rooms became darker and darker. They walked side by side as the dark closed around them, pressing on them. They could still see just fine, but the silence of their foot falls did not help.
They reached the ending, as they turned back running into something solid.
"Ommp." They managed together, "What was that-"
They stared for a moment as they realized it was, "Mori? What are you doing out of class?"
"Mikan." He said simply.
"Where's honey?" They looked for the blonde midget that was always by the giant's side.
"He's napping in the nurses office. Bad Headache." Mori answered simply again.
"Oh." They moved forward and then turned, "You wouldn't happen to know where Mikan was would you?"
He gave a sharp nod of his head as he took the lead walking back out of the room labeled studio. They walked in silence as the twins sighed, they were bored looking for Mikan .If the puppy didn't show up soon, they were going to give up.
"Mori were are we going?" They started, but Mori seemed to be swimming in his own thoughts as they jumped and waved their hands trying to get his attention. Mori would just blink and keep on walking.
"Aya! This is so boring." Karou moaned as he slouched over in the walk, "Where are you puppy!"
"Shh! You want a sensei to catch us?" Hikaru glared at him. Karou only shrugged, as they walked along.
"Are you still searching for Mikan?"
They turned as they waved at the shadow lord. He was very creepy and surprisingly stealthy raising almost out of the ground.
"Yes." They answered after another minute, "Do you know where she is?"
"Know that you mention it I haven't seen her in the halls all day. Perhaps she went home early." Kyoya shrugged, "Will you be attending host club?"
"Why wouldn't we?" The twins crossed their arms.
"You may forget in your search." Kyoya answered, "You already missed lunch."
"It's noon?" They blanched, "We couldn't have been gone for that long."
Kyoya ignored them as he turned and went his own way, passing by Mori as well with a nod of his head to acknowledge him.
"Damn Puppy." They cursed together, "She owes us lunch now."
They started down the halls again, following Mori who walked on as if nothing had transpired. It was another few minutes until they understood where they were be lead. Ouran had an elite riding team and most of the horses were boarded at the school since they had a surplus of land. The twins had never really taken to riding, well Kaoru enjoyed hunting, Hikaru avoided horses for the most part.
They were big, smelly, beasts who had a love affair with his hair. Kaoru insisted that it was simply because they liked him, but he suspected it's because his hair was the same color of a carrot.
"Ah, it makes sense for Mikan to take refuage with her beloved horses. I didn't know she rode at the school." Hikaru commented as his brother nodded in agreement.
"She probably has a horse boarded here." Kaoru went on, "So maybe she's been riding. I thought I would have heard something about it."
They entered the first barn as the horses raised their heads with soft knickers of recongnition. There was a chorus of voices as a team of riders walked out the ring laughing and talking with each other.
"Uh excuse us-" The twins began as the girls paused and swooned.
"Kya! Hikaru and Kaoru what are you doing here?" They asked as they suddenly swarmed them.
"Were looking for our puppy." They explained.
"Aww! The puppy!" They cried again together. Everyone knew who Mikan was, she had a reputation at the host club even before her dance escapades were played out for the whole school, "Where's the puppy! Are you playing fetch?"
"No." They said sharply, "We're just trying to find her. Have you seen her?"
"No." They laughed together as tall girl with a crop in her hand spoke up, "Why would she be running around here? Puppies can get smooshed beneath horses."
"Mya." Another girl smiled at her friend, "That is a terrible thing to say."
"It's the truth." Mya answered.
Mya, the twins knew her well from their time as well, brief time as ballerina's from France. She was the most self centered person they knew next to Tamaki, but with a sharp tounge and an evil smirk. It was no secret that Mya was Mikan's rival either.
"Well we hope you don't cause it." The twins said as they leaned in smiling all the while, "It would be a hard thing to explain how you let the puppy get trampled."
The girls were quiet as the twins laughed, "We kid! Our puppy is to stupid to come out here."
They laughed as well, but it was a nervous laugh as they hurried on by with the excuse that they had to change before class began again. The twins shook their heads, Mikan would not be doing something stupid, she was highly capable of it, but not around horses.
"Ah."
They turned, they had forgotten Mori was behind them. He held a piece of a paper in his hand as the twins snatched it.
"Where did you find this?" They asked. Mori pointed to a cubby with a pair of boots with polka dots. The same boots Mikan had worn to school this morning.
The twins unfolded the letter as they read the quickly sprawled out hand writing.
Had to go early. Sorry about mess, will clean up later. Owe you new pair of boots.
M
"So-" The twins started, "Mikan made a mess and had to leave boots, or someone owe her boots, than who's shoes is she wearing?"
"Can I help you boys?"
They jumped as Mori watched landing on the ground with a thump. A tall woman stood with a tight braid running down her back that reached her waist. She had a crop in her hand as well, but this one was made of leather and twice as long.
"Students who are not riding are not aloud in the stables." She crossed her arms.
"We're looking for our friend, Mikan." They answered, "She has pink hair. We thought she may be riding here."
"Oh yes. I remember Mikan." She nodded, "Made a mess with the hay today trying to feed horses, she seemed very excited for a strange reason."
"Why would she need a new pair of boots?" HIkaru asked
"Do I look like I have the answer." The woman snapped, "I don't have time, there's a second class coming in."
"Please do you at least know who M is?" The twins countered
"M." The woman paused, "M. No. Well, yes, actually, there's only other girl with Mikan today, Mona, Mimi, ah no, Momo. Why mikan needs new boots is beyond me-" The woman didn't finish her sentence as the twins turned and sprinted out the nearest door and across the lawn.
"So now we just have to find Momo." They panted, "Do we know where Momo is?"
"This way." Mori called as he loped in front of them. They panted as they followed him back into the school and up the stairs, stopping at a pair of doors labled Music Room 1.
Mori opened the doors slowly, and he walked in quietly as he could careful. The twins followed behind him, as they glanced around. There was a single music stand set up as a girl with plaited long black hair played the violin.
She wasn't the best, the twins twitched every time she hit a bad note.
"Excuse us-" They began again as the girl stopped and smiled and bowed.
"Greetings Hikaru and Kaoru." The girl smiled wider as she placed down the violin, "Can I help you?"
"Your momo right-" They began.
"Yes." She smiled, "This isn't the third music room."
"We know that!" They argued as she let out a high pitch giggle.
"What can I help you with?" She asked again.
"We're looking for Mikan. She left her rain boots in the stable." They answered as she shook her head.
"Oh dear. She's probably got yelled at for running around bare footed. She lent me her rain boots so I go riding, I had left my riding boots at home. " Momo explained as she twirled her hair, "She's silly like that."
"Do you know where she's gone?" They asked again as she stared at them curious and then shook her head.
"I would say she would be with Jin." She answered, "Mori are you alright."
The twins glanced at Mori who seemed to be just fine despite his fist being clenched tightly as he stared out at the window.
"How do you know Mori?" The twins eyed her, "Are you seeking favors from host members?"
"No." Momo said quietly as she blushed, "Mori and I just both enjoy violin music. I once had him as a host and invited him to come hear me play."
"Oh." The twins slumped embarrassed, "Sorry for our poor behavior."
Momo simply turned her back to them and picked up her violin as she began to slide the bar across the string. The twins exited quickly as they could as they shut the door behind them. The eerie music followed them down the hall, as the notes became jarred and then light once more.
"Strange girl." Hikaru commented.
"She's very shy." Kaoru noted as he eyed Mori who had not changed at all, "So now we have to find Jin again."
"Oh like that will be easy." Hikaru scratched his head, "They seem to spend an awaful lot of time together for being just friends."
"Who? Mikan and Jin-"Kaoru finished, "Hmm, that's what I noticed. Maybe their more then friends, maybe they have been for a long time."
"It would explain many things." HIkaru nodded deeply as he smiled, "Of course I don't doubt it at all for a minute."
The hall was full of students changing classes as the girls in yellow perked their ears and turned their heads to the twins.
"Brother not here."Kaoru begged, "We promised to keep her secret."
"Oh its no secret how they hang onto each other." HIkaru rolled his eyes, "He was wearing her pink shirt after the party-"
"True and he did sleep over." Kaoru nodded deeply as he smiled at his brother.
There were whispers on the side of Who? Who? They all knew they were talking about puppy, but the mystery boy made their hearts thump. The twins smiled wider.
"Of course, it's probably why he quit." Kaoru shrugged, "He couldn't stand to be away from her. It must be a deep love."
"True love." HIkaru answered, "It would explain why they skipped class today-"
"What are you two going on about?"
They stopped mid sentence as they glanced down and patted Haurhi's head.
"Haruhi!' They smiled, "Didn't you hear the news?"
"What news?" She crossed her arms, "We need to get to Math, schools almost over."
She walked by them, as they turned and followed smiling at the rumors. They strained their ears to the whispers as an explosion of giggles raced across and by them.
"Where is Mikan?" Haruhi turned to them as they had been trying to suppress their laughter about th missing puppy.
"We don't know. We've been trying to find her all day.' They shrugged, "She probably is with Jin."
"Well I hope she comes to host club today," Haruhi answered, "I don't want to have to serve tea and host, my head is reeling."
"Maybe we won't have it if Honey sempi isn't here." The twins answered as they laughed, "Don't worry about Mikan-"
"Why would I be worried?" Haruhi asked, "She's probably nursing a head ahce or something."
"To the nurses then." The twins smiled as they partially skipped off. They were disappointed to learn that the nurse hadn't seen Mikan at all. They had asked again, saying she was a girl with pink hair and the nurse had replied she knew Mikan because of the burns she treated.
The twins had thanked her and left fustrated. Where was the puppy? They wanted to tease her about her secret love and she was hiding from them. She probably knew and was sobbing that they had said all sort of nasty things about her and Jin. Or she was getting ready to kick their asses, it all really depended on the mood she was in.
"Mori any sign?" They asked as they passed him in the hall. Mori kept on walking as if he hadn't heard them, "Mori come on, what's wrong?"
Mori turned, and shrugged his shoulders and continued down the hall.
"This is annoying." Hikaru ran a hand through his hair, "Do you have her cell phone?"
"Yeah." Kaoru pulled out his phone as he hit the speed dial, "I'm just getting the answering machine."
"What now?" Hikaru shifted on his feet, "We're late for class, and we have spent the whole day looking for Mikan."
"It's about time for the host club." Kaoru sighed, "I'm bored brother."
"Well then let us see if we can't see what mayheam our rumors have brought." HIkaru smiled as they linked arms laughing to Music Room Three.
Mori was there waiting in a chair as his leg pumped up and down on the ground like he was nervous. Haruhi was flipping through a book and the other were absent.
"Where is everybody?" They demanded
Haruhi shrugged, "Maybe we don't have host club today."
"But that's not like Kyoya to simply cancel host club." The twins argued as Haruhi sighed.
"I don't mind. I like having a break." She skimmed another page, "Why are you two so worked up? Are you worried about Mikan?"
"Worried! Why would be worried! She can take care of herself!" They almost began to shout waving their arms. Haruhi glanced at them and then went back to her book.
"You two need to stop being so defensive, people are going to begin to wonder." Haruhi said simply.
"Wonder what?" Hikaru demanded.
"Well when a boy usually treats a girl meanly, my dad said it meant he liked her." Haruhi answered, "And the way your acting people are going to think you like the puppy."
"WE DON"T LIKE THAT STUPID RABID MONGREAL!" They yelled as their voices echoed off the walls.
"Okay." Haruhi said simply, "Please don't yell next time, I'm trying to read."
"Your no help. " They huffed pacing, back and forth on the floor, "We don't want people to think that we like puppy."
"Okay. Then don't be so defensive." Haruhi answered.
"We're going to go find Kyoya and see if we have host club today." The twins said as they walked out the doors. They hadn't gone very far when Momo came panting up to them.
"I have a note." She panted, "A strange boy passed it to me when I was leaving to meet my friends."
Your puppy is on a trip.
Jin is a master thief.
Find your puppy before he steals her.
Go on Fetch.
-Jizo
"Want her back?" The twins started, "What does this mean?"
"Mikan-told me-"Momo leaned over again, "That she was thinking of going back to dance in New York City. Kagame told her to think it over and not to rush into anything, but-she was running down the hall with Jin, yelling about going back home."
"It's been one day since she's expelled and she's running away!" Hikaru demanded, "I bet Jin talked her into it."
"Jin." Kaoru glared and nodded, "There is something off about that dancer."
"Uh huh." Momo nodded, "Let me know if she decides to stay. I'll have to go tell our friends."
The girl slid along the wall as she pulled out her cell phone texting away at the keys, as it began to ring over and over again. The twins turned back to the club finding only Haruhi sitting in the same spot.
"So do we have host club today?" She asked looking up from her book.
"We have bigger problems!" The twins answered, "Mikan is going back to New York."
Haruhi blinked, "Of course she is. She's going to leave without saying good bye to any of her friends, any of us, and just run away to New York City. Mikan isn't going to New York."
"She's going to rejoin her old company-"The twins began.
"Did you hear from Mikan or someone else?" Haruhi asked.
"Her friend momo-"They tried again.
"Mikan says a lot of things and rumors get spread." Haruhi answered, "Like the one that's going around that her and Jin are going out."
"But they are." They insisted, "Can't you read the signs!"
"No they're not." Haruhi answered, "Don't you know-"
The host club doors slammed open as a stream of girls rushed in followed by Kyoya, who was smiling.
"We're having host club today." He announced, "Mori is fetching Honey if your wondering, you two managed to avoid all your classes for today."
"But-but-"They handed him the note.
Kyoya glanced over it, "Your point? So perhaps Mikan has left on vacation-"
"But-but-"The twins began again.
"No buts, the puppy may be late or else she'll alert me that she's gone on vaction." Kyoya shrugged, "If your really all that worried, I'll call Kagame."
He turned away as the twins cringed and tugged at their hair in fustration. The puppy could have been into a million things by now and all of them horrible.
"Kagame, hello-"Kyoya began, as he paused, "Um no I haven't seen Mikan. Well calm down I'm sure she'll be out in a minute. Okay well that doesn't make a difference."
He paused, "Alright, so Mikan is missing. Well she's with Jin, I'm sure she just-."
He paused again, as he glared at the phone, "HOW IS THIS MY FAULT! I WAS KEEPING TABS ON HER ALL AFTERNOON! I SAW HER GO TO EACH PLACE AND MADE SURE SHE WENT TO CLASS! THIS IS NOT MY FAULT IF SHE RUNS OUT OF ME!"
"Excuse us-" The twins glared, "She asked you-to watch her to! KAGAME YOU LIED TO US!"
"Correction I didn't lie." Kagame voice drifted over the phone, "And it doesn't matter know, Mikan is out of my control and probably off to do something stupid."
"It is isn't our fault." The twins argued pointing at the phone.
"I will resolve this." Kyoya told her calmly, "I had a gps chip implanted in her cell phone in case she was ever late to host club."
The twins glanced at him horrified as they crawled away horrified.
"We had no idea that shadow kings obession." They whispered to each other.
"Mikan where are you?" Kyoya's voice filled the room as the girls had taken their seats ready for the club to start.
Haurhi was busy entertaining as the twins slumped over onto the couch beside her sobbing.
"Oh we've lost the puppy! No the puppy has run away! This means Haruhi you must revert to being the host club dog until we can find a replacement."
"What! The PUPPY HAS RUN AWAY! OH I WAS A BAD MASTER! A HORRIBLE MASTER! IT"S ALL MY FAULT! OH MIKAN WHERE ARE YOU?"
The twins stopped mid sob as they glanced up and over the back of the couch, Tamaki was chasing himself in circles pulling at his hair.
"PUPPY! COME BACK!" He screamed at the air. The twins turned back around and smiled, "Well we didn't like her that much any way, it will be good to have a new puppy around the house."
"Stop that." Haruhi turned to each of them, "Those are horrible things to say right now, she just got expelled from dance and here you are trying to kick her out of the club."
"MIKAN WAS EXPELLED!"
They weren't sure were the cry first came from, but it didn't matter, the truth had been let out.
The twins blinked at the up roar as the girls were texing more than talking or were they talking more than texting, or talking and texting and calling.
"We will save the puppy! I'll order a full assault on Jin's parents home! The commoner will not be able to with stand our fire power!" Tamaki said as he pulled out his phone that was quickly snatched away by Kyoya.
"No." He ordered, as he clicked the phone shut, "That is a horrible idea."
"But-but He must have taken her to his home, where else could they have gone." Tamaki began as Kyoya had pulled out his computer.
"Do you keep tabs on all of us?" The twins asked glancing over his shoulder.
"No. Only the puppy for various finical reasons." Kyoya answered, "Ah the last call she placed was to the airport. I'll just do some-" He stopped as he rose up and moved to a different seat as he continued to type away.
"Shadow lord is secretive." The twins glanced at each other as they moved away, "So Milord how does it feel to have failed the puppy? She ran away because you were such a bad master."
"I know! I know!" Tamaki cried, as he stood upon a chair, "but this I swear I will not breathe, nor sleep, nor bathe until the puppy is safe once again in my arms. For she is my puppy and I her master and our bond is stronger than water, stronger than blood, stronger than the strongest thing in the world-"
"Tamaki." Kyoya said simply, "We must leave if we're going to catch the flight. Princesses if you will excuse us, we have to fetch our puppy."
"We're going to New York now?" The twins asked, "But we're not packed-"
"Arrangments have been made." Kyoya answered, "For how ever long our stay will take us."
"What going on?" Haruhi asked startled as the girls had quickly left , "What happened?'
"We're going to New York City in America." Tamaki announced, " A city of lights and culture."
"Tamaki I don't have a passport." Haruhi answered, "And I have school-and packing-"
"Haruhi I have your passport." Kyoya said simply, as he pulled it out of his jacket, "I had it in case you ever needed to leave the country."
"Uh thanks." Haruhi said simply, as she thought to herself , Leave the country? What's that supposed to mean?
"And your father will be alerted as to your absence and the school will over look ours." He said with a wave of his hand, "Don't worry your grades won't suffer. I don't except we'll be gone more than a few days to a week."
"A week!" Haruhi jaw dropped.
"If we are going to New York we are going to make the best of it, even if we're chasing a puppy." Kyoya answered with a small smile, "No worries I can order the annulment of the marriage-"
"Marriage?" Haruhi asked, "You do realize that Jin is-"
She was cut short again, by Tamaki's screams as he searched for Mori and Honey. The pair wandered in from the doors, as Tamaki gave them a long speech.
"Aww and we didn't even get her a wedding present. Will there be wedding cake?" Honey asked as he swung Mori's hand. The giant had gone still as he clenched his one fist until the knuckles turned white.
"Ow. Takashi your grip is to tight." Honey whined as Mori quickly let go and lifted him onto his back.
"Let's go. We're wasting time here." He said simply.
"Off to fetch the puppy!" The twins sang as they linked arms with each other and headed off through the doors.
Haruhi had given up trying to stop any of them. She didn't want to try and deny going on the trip when Kyoya seemed so bent on all of them going.
"Here we go again." She sighed as they walked in mass down the hall. She could hear the giggles and laughter as she sighed. The rumors were going to be a forest fire by the time they returned.
...
Ah yep. So review, fav, or alert. Thanks!
