DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB. Hey guys, thanks for the reviews and everything.
"Last period of the day" Mercy sighed.
"Yep, I guess I'll see you after class." Faith agreed as she headed into her class room.
"Oh Faith, you can sit by me again." Haruhi offered as she walked in.
"Thanks" Faith replied as she plopped down. "Hey Haruhi, why do you think the twins hate me so much?"
"They don't hate you, there just not really good at expressing emotion." Haruhi sighed. "I hope they're not giving you a hard time, I'm sorry for the inconvenience my secret has caused."
"Don't be stupid, the truth is that I envy you." Faith admitted.
"What, why?"
"Well you have not only great friends, but a great family. They really care about you; to have that family…it must be nice."
"Yes, your right. I'm really lucky to have them, even though they cause trouble. What about you, Mercy's your friend right?"
"Yeah." Faith smiled sadly.
"Sorry, are you guys fighting or something?" Haruhi added quickly.
"No, no nothing like that. Mercy's like a sister to me, she means everything to me. I'd die without her." Faith said with the same sad expression.
"Then why do you look so sad?" Haruhi asked concerned.
"I'm not sad, just selfish." Haruhi didn't get a chance to respond to that cause just then the teacher walked in.
"Hello class, remember me? How could you not, my amazingness burns itself into your little brains. Just kidding, hahaha. Anyway let's get started, shall we?" That started a whole hour of useless babble from the teacher. Once class finally ended Faith got up and yawned.
"So even Japan has flaky teachers I see." She said, stretching.
"Actually, this school has really great teachers. I don't know how she got to be one of them, she doesn't even teach us anything." Haruhi agreed.
"Yeah well, what can you do? I guess I should get going now" Just as Faith was about to leave, Haruhi added.
"You should visit the host club."
"What, why?" Asked Faith as she turned around to face her.
"If they get to know you better, I bet the twins won't give you such a hard time. Also, you're new here and they really are a group of great people, so you should get to know them. You can bring Mercy." Haruhi added. 'It couldn't hurt to get to know them, at least then I'd know what I was dealing with.' Faith thought.
"Actually, that sounds like a good idea, thanks for the offer." Faith said honestly.
"No problem. See you soon, oh and you don't have to worry about Tamaki. He's an idiot, not a pervert." Haruhi added.
"Okay, thanks." Faith said as she left. As she walked down the hall, Faith deeply considered bringing Mercy down to the Host Club. 'Mercy needs to know what's going on before something worse happens, might as well let her get to know them' Faith decided. When she found Mercy it took a while to convince her to go to the Host Club, but when she finally did, they had found it with no trouble.
"Here we are music room three." Faith said in preparation.
"Why are we here again?" Mercy sighed.
"You should get to know them." Faith smiled. 'It's for your own good' she added silently.
"Fine, let's just get this over with." Mercy surrendered. They both sucked in a breath as they entered. They were showered in flower petals, the air sented with diffrent aroma's.
"Ahhh hello my princesses, you two look as lovely as ever." Tamaki greeted as he held out a rose to them.
"What the heck? Whats with the flowers." Mecy asked as she struggled to pry the petals from her hair.
"No need to worry my darling, your beauty is no match for the mear flower." Tamaki said as he held a hand to Mercy's face.
"Do you know the defanition of personal space?" Mercy said shoving him off. "I mean seriously, do the other girls find it charming. because i find it kind off creepy." Mercy stated. Tamaki fell to the floor.
"Y-y-you're colder than the other one." Tamaki stuttered, shrinking back into his corner. Faith thought for a second, 'just because they're weird doesn't mean they're bad people.' she reminded herself.
"Please excuse my friend; she's a little quick to judge. Thank you for the….interasting welcome, it's a pleasure to be here." Faith said trying to perk Tamaki up. He did just that.
"Oh no problem, I could never stay mad at such fine ladies as yourselves." Tamaki said, back to his normal self. Faith had a hard time not to flinch back at his strangeness. Hikaru and Kaoru stared at each other before they nodded their heads.
"Nice to officially meet you." Kaoru said, stepping forward. "I'm sorry for the-" Kaoru's word were cut off when he 'tripped' and started to fall face first. Hikaru jerked up and caught him, pulling Kaoru back up as they held each other close. Hikaru's face was barely an inch away from Kaoru's as he spoke.
"Kaoru, are you alright?" He asked, worried.
"Yes, thanks' to you." Kaoru replied, nuzzling into Hikaru. The twins waited for Mercy and Faith to start fawning into them but was surprised by their reactions.
"Aghh, what are you doing?" Mercy said wrinkling her nose.
"Eeep, no do NOT do that!" Faith exclaimed, shielding her eyes. The twins looked at them in surprise.
"Will you two please step away from each other! Your brothers, this isn't just incest it's, it's."" Faith stuttered.
"Twincest?" The host club offered.
"Yes, exactly!" Faith said, still hiding her eyes. The twins were shocked that the girls were acting this way. 'What is wrong with American girls?' they thought.
"Can you two seriously move back now, that's really creepy. No wonder Tamaki or whatever you name is, is king, compared to you guys, he's the only normal one." Mercy exclaimed.
"Thank you my darli-" Mercy interrupted Tamaki.
"But you're still weird." She said, causing him to shrink back to his corner. America was so simple, jerks and jocks were the only guys she had to deal with, with the occasional stalker but this was way off her strange meter. The twin's released each other as Faith cleared her thoughts.
"Aaanyway." Faith said catiously. "Thanks for inviting us, being new here and all your hospitality is…nice." Faith had no idea what to say next. She looked around the room to see if there was anything she could start a conversation with, but discovered something else instead.
"Is that a piano?" She asked excitedly, forgetting about the twins.
"Yes, this is a music room after all." Hikaru grumbled.
"W-would you mind if i-?" Faith asked hesitantly.
"Of course not my dear, you play the piano?" Tamaki asked. Faith approached the big piano and took a seat.
"I haven't in a long time." Faith said mindlessly. She placed her hands on the keys as she sucked in a breathe. Her hands flowed across the board like water as a beautiful sound flowed across the room. The Host Club gawked at her as Tamaki jumped up in delight. He walked up and took a seat next to her, listening to the music. When she had finally finished, everyone was silent. The twins looked at her with disbelief while Tamaki looked at her with stars in his eyes.
"Amazing! What song is that? I haven't heard it before." He asked, his eyes glittering in admiration.
"That's because I made it up a long time ago." Faith trailed off.
"What! You made it up! B-but…" Tamaki cleared his throat. "Now I must show you what skills I posses." He said eargerly as he placed his hands down next to hers. As his fingers started to move, a soft melody flooded in the room, its sweet sound echoing slightly. Faith felt herself move with the music as she started to play a background to it. Playing random notes she thought would add to the music nicely, Tamaki started to do the same. It wasn't long until he trailed off the song completely and started to play something entirely new that never before existed. Both played with their hearts and hands in complete harmony. The music flew across the room like a gust of wind, causing everyone to shiver. When the song finally ended everyone stood in amazement.
"Amazing, I had no idea I could do that. You my dear brought out another one of my hidden talents, as well as one of your own. You must be famous in America, playing for only royalty." Tamaki swooned. Despite Tamaki's praising, Faith couldn't stop smiling. It felt good to play again, and it was magical to play with someone else. She felt a surge of happiness go through her as she sighed.
"Congrats, you just created your first song." Faith smiled. Tamaki gleamed-
"We created the song, don't sell yourself short." Tamaki said, Faith responded with a genuine smile. Mercy stared at Faith, she hadn't seen her this happy in a long time. Kyoya walked towards Mercy.
"Hmm, she's talented." He marveled
"Yeah, she is." Mercy agreed deep in thought.
"Looks like she has boss in her grasp, is there anything else we should know about you two?" Hikaru asked, coming up behind them.
"What do you mean she has him in her grasp?" Mercy asked coldly.
"I see right through you." He said whispering in her ear. She gritted her teeth-
"You don't know anything about us."
"Not yet, but just know that I know your hiding something and I'll find it. Expose our secret and we'll expose yours." Hikaru said, leaning closer. Despite the threat, Mercy asked.
"What secret?"
"You act innocent now, but I'll find it." Hikaru spun around and went back to Kaoru. Did they think she knew something she didn't? Mercy had meant what was their secret, she really didn't know. The truth was, she did have a secret, but it was not what they thought, and they would never find out. Faith spent the rest of the time giggling curelessly with Tamaki as they fiddled around on the piano, while Mercy pushed what Hikaru had said to her out of her mind as resumed talking with Kyoya. She found they had more in common then she thought they would. They were both the profit makers of their 'family.'
"So in Japan being the third child is bad? Interesting, in America it's being a middle child that's bad." Mercy stated.
"And which child are you?" He asked.
"The middle."
"Looks like we both got bad ends of the stick." He replied. When Mercy and Faith decided to go, Kaoru couldn't help but ask.
"Hikaru, what did you say to her?" Asked Kaoru.
"I just gave Mercy a warning about keeping her mouth shut." Hikaru shrugged.
"Hikaru, I thought we agreed on befriending them." Kaoru complained.
"We are, I just wanted to put a little warning in there." Hikaru said defensively.
"I just hope that whatever you said to her didn't break things beyond repair." Kaoru sighed.
