Chapter 7:
I got two puppies. Ya. I got an extra puppy, a bird and a cat. I knew I was only supposed to get a puppy but then the other puppy just looked so sad without the other one so I got him too. And then when I was walking out, that parrot said that I had pretty hair, so I bought him too. Then this cat jumped on my back as I was leaving, trying to play with the parrot. So I bought him too. Now, I had a little family! I was at my house, getting my pets' stuff out when the Host Club walked in. I waved, "HEY! HEY GUYS! I GOTTA PUPPY, ANOTHER PUPPY, A PARROT AND A KITTY!" Dakota raised an eyebrow,
"I thought that you were only going to get a puppy." I nodded,
"I was but then-" and then I told them how I got the extra pets. Everyone looked around,
"Where's the parrot?" I looked around,
"Sir Lancelot? He's playing with-ARTHUR THE GREAT THE SECOND! SPIT OUT SIR LANCELOT THE SECOND!" I yelled at my cat who was eating my parrot Sir Lancelot. I ran over and pulled out Sir Lancelot. I frowned at Arthur The Great the Second, "Don't eat Sir Lancelot the Second you jerk face." Kaoru kneeled beside me,
"Those are really long names. Are you going to remember them?" I nodded,
"Of course I am. See? That's Arthur the Great the Second, that's Sir Lancelot the Second, that's Oppenheimer the Second and that's Gibble the First." Kyouya wrote in his notebook,
"That would just be 'Gibble'. Not 'Gibble the First'." I picked up my Dalmatian puppy,
"But what if she feels left out? I mean, there's the others and they're all 'The Second' and then she's just 'Gibble'. I would feel left out."
"Are you sure you're not going to forget their names?" Tamaki asked. I nodded,
"Of course I'm going to remember."
::Five Minutes Later::
I pointed to my German Shepherd puppy, "Your name is…is…" I thought really hard for a minute. Dakota smiled,
"Did you forget?" I shook my head,
"No. His name is…" I scratched my head, "Uh…"
"Oppenheimer the Second." Mori said. I nodded,
"YA! THAT'S HIS NAME! Told you I wouldn't forget~." Hikaru shook his head,
"That's not fair. Mori-senpai told you. What's the name of your parrot?" I looked around,
"Where is my parrot?" I looked around and found a few feathers on the floor in front of an open window where my cat was sitting. I frowned,
"Jeez…he must've flied away…" A feather fell from my cat's mouth and I picked her up,
"Okay then. Your name is…" I took a deep breath, "is…." Mori was about to say something but then Honey covered his mouth,
"No Takashi. Don't tell her." I frowned, looking down at my little Siamese cat. She meowed at me and tried to scramble away. I coughed,
"Her name is *cough cough mumble mumble*" Dakota smiled,
"What was that?" I glared at her,
"I said *cough mumble mumble*"
"You don't remember do you?" I shook my head,
"YES I DO! I'm just going to rename you. Your name will be…Scrambles. See? I didn't forget."
"That doesn't count." Tamaki said. I shrugged,
"Whatevers. And that's Gibble." I said, pointing to my Dalmatian puppy. Gibble ran over and tried to lick my face. I put down Scrambles and picked up the puppy, "You're so cute Gibble~!" My German Shepherd puppy ran up and jumped up on me. I sat down and let him crawl on me, "I'm going to rename you too. You'll be…what do I really like?" I thought for a minute while everyone else wandered around my mansion, "I KNOW! I like my buddies so you'll be Buddy." He licked my face and I giggled, "Gross. Puppy breath." Mori walked over and sat beside me on the floor,
"So you're just going to stay here then?" I nodded,
"Ya I'll just watch some movies and eat some ice-cream." He blushed,
"Would you like some company? I could stay here and we could maybe-" I shook my head,
"No. You should go to the party. Don't not go because I'm not going. I'm sure you'll have fun and I'll be fine. I've spent a lot of time by myself and I'm not really by myself anymore. I have Gibble and Buddy and Scrambles. And I'm probably going to try and get another bird or some other animal anyway. Any ideas for names? I'm thinking about getting a snake." He shrugged,
"Name it something you'll remember. Okay?" I nodded,
"Of course I will." I paused, "….what could I remember?"
"What's your favorite kind of food?" My shoulders slumped,
"Mori? Every type of food is my favorite kind of food. KAORU!" I yelled at the redhead who was walking past. He stopped and looked at us,
"…yes?"
"What do you really want to eat right now?" He shrugged,
"I dunno. Cheese." I considered the name before shaking my head,
"That's not a good name. Who names their snake 'Cheese'?"
"Uh…I can see you naming a snake that but anyone else…it just doesn't work." I smiled,
"Thanks Kaoru but since you can see me naming my snake 'Cheese', I can't now. It's too predictable. QUICK MORI! SAY THE FIRST KIND OF FOOD THAT COMES INTO YOUR HEAD!" He paused,
"Uh…um…cookies?" I turned to Kaoru again,
"How about that name?"
"Cookies?" I shook my head,
"No. Because if I got two pets named Cookies, then I'll have to call them 'Cookieses' and that would just be annoying. So, just Cookie." He thought about it before shaking his head,
"No I can't see you naming your snake that." I laughed,
"HAWHAW! That's the name that I shalt have BECAUSE it's unpredictable!" I said happily. Kaoru nodded,
"I'm going to go now…" I nodded,
"Okay see ya Kay-Oh-Roo~!" Just as Kaoru left, Dakota ran in,
"HEY RILEY! Can we use your house?" I raised an eyebrow,
"For what?"
"To get ready for the masquerade ball."
"Why here?"
"Because our families are at our houses and as much as I love my family, they're just going to go all crazy and if we get drunk-"
"We?" Hikaru asked as he walked in. Dakota rolled her eyes,
"Fine. If I get drunk, then I won't have to go back to my parent's place where they'll have a heart attack because I'd be drunk. And, I like your house." I shrugged,
"Sure whatever. Knock yourself out." Dakota and Hikaru walked out,
"SHE SAID IT WAS OKAY GUYS!" She yelled. Then I heard,
"YAY~!" The thought of them staying in my house wasn't really that bad. I really quite enjoyed everyone's company. I just didn't know why they wanted to stay here. I mean, my house is about as lively as a graveyard. I was the only one who actually lived in my house besides maids and my butler. They didn't even live here. They left at 11 every night then came back at 7 in the morning. It was kind of a quiet life inside my house. Everyone walked past the living room and Kyouya stopped before looking at Mori and me,
"Mori-senpai? I think that you should get ready for this ball pretty soon. We have to be there in half an hour." Mori nodded and stood up,
"I have to go and-" I nodded,
"I heard. You go and get ready. You don't wanna be late for the ball your family is throwing." He nodded again and left, leaving me with my laptop with Left 4 Dead in the CD Drive. My game just finished loading when Dakota walked in,
"Hey Riiiiiley~. You look pretty todaaaay~." My eyebrows raised slightly,
"Okay then. Thanks?" She nodded,
"Ya. Do you wanna help me with something?"
"Sure. Just cause you said I was pretty earlier. What do you want help with?"
"I need you to help me tie on this corset." I tilted my head slightly,
"You're going to wear just a corset to a ball?" She shook her head,
"No. It came with this dress that makes me look like I'm from the 1940's." I sighed in relief,
"Thank god. Okay then." We walked upstairs and I helped her put on the corset then I started tying it. She said,
"Riley? Pull harder." I tied it a little tighter,
"Was that hard enough?" She shook her head,
"No. Harder. It's not tight enough." I sighed and pulled on the strings harder.
::Hikaru's POV::
I went to the room Dakota was getting ready in to see if she needed any help only to hear the most interesting thing. I heard Dakota say,
"NO THAT'S NOT HARD ENOUGH!"
"WELL SORRY YOUR MAJESTY I'M JUST NOT USED TO DOING THIS!" Riley yelled back.
"IT'S STILL NOT TIGHT ENOUGH!" Then I heard both girls grunt. My jaw dropped. They were fucking in there. I put my ear against the door and listened. They were still grunting. Kaoru walked past and looked at me curiously,
"Hikaru? What are you doing?" I shushed him and motioned him closer to the door. He put his ear against the door and listened. Then his eyes widened,
"Is that Riley and Dakota?" I nodded,
"Yes it is." We listened for a while longer and all of a sudden, Dakota yelled,
"OW!" Then Riley snickered,
"Too hard?" Riley laughed some more and then we heard a groan and then there was a loud bump against one of the walls.
"OW WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" Riley yelled. Then Dakota was the one who was laughing. I nodded approvingly,
"My woman likes it rough."
"And Riley apparently likes being abused…" Kaoru muttered. Dakota finally answered Riley,
"Because you made it too tight and now it hurts me."
"YOU SAID YOU WANTED IT TIGHT!"
"NOT THAT TIGHT!" Tamaki walked by and shook his head,
"It's not very gentlemanly to spy on a lady while she's changing. It's very-" He then heard Riley and Dakota arguing at each other and stopped talking, "What are they doing in there?"
"They're fucking each other." I said plainly. Tamaki blushed and then listened to what was going on. The two girls argued for a little while longer before we heard some slapping. I snickered,
"Holy shit…"
::Riley's POV::
I could not believe Dakota did that too me. She grabbed me by my ear and then pushed me away, making me fall over and hit my head on the wall. We were currently having a sissy fight, slapping each other's hands all crazy like. After a little while of us actually fighting like that, we started play fighting. We were wrestling for a while before I held up my hands, "I have to sneeze…" She shrugged,
"Oh well I was winning anyway." I scoffed then sneezed,
"You were not winning." Because we were just wrestling, we were kinda out of breath. I burped, "I'm gonna go bitch."
"You're just angry that I was winning." I shook my head and opened the door. Hikaru, Kaoru and Tamaki fell into the room. I looked down at them,
"That's different…" I stepped over the stoned looking boys and into the hallway. I wasn't even down the hall when Honey jumped on my back,
"Hi Rye-chan~!" I stopped walking,
"Hey Honey. What's up?" He hopped off my back, grabbed my hand and dragged me down the hallway,
"Takashi needs your help." I raised an eyebrow,
"My help?" He nodded,
"Ya." He brought me into some room where Mori was trying to tie a tie. Honey turned and skipped out of the room, "Usa-chan and I need to go to the bathroom. Bye guys~!" I turned to Mori,
"Do you not know how to tie that?" He shook his head,
"No." I rolled my eyes and walked over to him,
"What kinda rich person are you? Not knowing how to tie a tie." He shrugged,
"I've never really needed to know before."
"Well you should learn. I'll teach you." I hopped on his back and looked over his shoulder in the mirror so that I could see what I was doing. I opened my hands, "Let's see your hands." He blushed darkly and put his hands in mine. I put my hands on top of his hands so that I was basically moving his hands however I wanted them too. I instructed his hands on what to do and his tie was tied in seconds. I smiled at him, "See how that worked?" He seemed slightly shaky,
"Kind of…" I rolled my eyes,
"Okay then…we'll redo it. Just slower this time." I redid the instruction thing again only slower. "Did you get it that time?" He nodded,
"Ya that time was more…is it hot in here?" I pressed my palm against his forehead,
"Are you okay? You're burning up." He took a deep breath,
"I don't think I should go." I shook my head,
"No you're probably just getting really hot. Take off your jacket." I hopped off his back and took off his jacket, "Now go and wash your face in cold water. That usually helps me." He nodded and went into the bathroom which was in the room. I started to wonder why Honey left to a bathroom somewhere else when there was a bathroom right there. I sat on the bed, twirling my fingers around. "Feeling better?" I asked when Mori walked back in. He wasn't that red anymore. He shrugged,
"I think so…" I walked over and put my palm against his cheek. He was still hot. I sighed, "Maybe you shouldn't go to the ball…" Honey walked in,
"Hey guys~! Are you ready to go you two?" I shook my head,
"Honey? I don't wanna go and Mori's not going." He smiled for a second before looking serious,
"Why not?" I pointed to Mori,
"He's sick." Honey looked sad,
"Oh. Maybe Takashi should stay here then."
"Stay here? Why?"
"It'll be loud at his home and then he won't be able to sleep to get better." I thought about it before nodding,
"Ya that's kinda true isn't it?" I turned to Mori, "Maybe you should stay here then…I need to get you better clothes than that." I went to the speaker thing by the door and pressed a button. After a few seconds, I heard,
"Yes Ms. Winchester?"
"Hey Edward. I need you to get…pyjamas that'll fit Mori."
"Okay Ms. Winchester. I'll send a few maids up to…which room?"
"Uh…the one on the second floor…"
"There's nine rooms on that floor."
"Uh…the one at the end of the hallway to the left."
"The right." Mori corrected. I lifted my hands and made L shapes with my index finger and my thumb.
"Ya the right."
"Okay Ms. Winchester. I'll send a couple maids up to the room as soon as I get the pyjamas."
"Thank you~." I turned off the speaker thing and turned to Mori, "Take off the tuxedo okay? And call your family too. I'll tell the others that you're not going to go okay?" He nodded and I left the room. I walked downstairs and saw a bunch of a people wearing masks in my boot room. I shivered slightly before smiling, "Hey you guys." They turned to me and took off their masks,
"Hey Riley. Where's Mori?"
"He got a fever he's gonna stay here." Dakota smiled,
"So. You and Mori are going to stay here? All night? Together? Alooooone?" I rolled my eyes,
"Yes. That is what's going on." Her smile got bigger,
"Well, have a fun night. Make sure you're both wearing pants." I scoffed,
"Can you guys stop doing that? I don't know why you guys keep thinking that Mori and I are going to hook up. I'm his bro and he's my bro." She nodded,
"Whatever you say you little sex monkey. I'll see you tomorrow."
"I thought you were coming back here." She shook her head,
"Nah. I think that I'll just go back home. See ya." She shoved everyone outside and quickly followed them. Honey jumped from the stairs and onto my back,
"Bye Rye-chan~! Take good care of Takashi~!" Then he skipped out the door. I shook my head,
"Wow…"
