Chapter 6
~Time Skip~
The very next morning
Kyoya's POV
We had just arrived at their residence. Tamaki was fluttering around about something. The twins were excited to be at their new 'toys' home. Haruhi was imagining aloud about all the American food she was going to eat. Honey was just happy to be there. Mori was wearing his unreadable expression. Are they going to answer? I hear them whispering behind the door.
A happy Latina woman flung the door open and gestured for us to come in.
"Hello, I'm so delighted to finally meet the rest of you. My name is Maria, and I am the Mangers' and Karmazins' nanny. Today is going to be a busy day, so please come in, take your shoes off and relax, before you all need to handle some business with Miss Keiko's family. Kyoya, why don't you show them where to take off their shoes? Please show the others where they can get some house slippers to wear around the house".
"What!" The other Hosts were shocked that I had already been over.
The woman giggled fiercely, "Didn't Kyoya tell you that he's been coming over every Saturday to take Eva out on a date?"
"Kyoya…" Tamaki started.
"What is it my fault if none of you asked what I did over the past weekends?" I coldly asked. This seemed to electrocute Tamaki.
"Well you could have mentioned something earlier", said the twins.
I simply shrugged, "It never came up."
They just gave me an irritated look.
The moment we walked in, we were swarmed by our friends' relatives.
Two identical twins with brown hair and hazel eyes who I believe to Leopold-Levi and Bryce-Richards came up to scrutinize us.
"Who have we got here L.L.? Some perverts from their school?"
"Possibly…Now who is the hottie with them B.R.? She looks fun and tasty!"
"How dare you say those things about my daughter you devils?"
The two merely smirked at him and said, "How could she possibly be your daughter? Unless that's the fantasy that you have of her, you twisted pervert…Pretty pathetic."
Tamaki ran over to a corner, and huddled in it.
The relatives sweat dropped at his reaction. They turned to us and asked, "So Nicole wasn't lying to us?"
"Nope…" started Hikaru.
"…in fact he does on a regular basis", finished Kaoru.
"That sounds pretty pathetic…He needs to toughen up, if he wants to survive in this world", they said. Arrows came and pierced him through the heart. The relatives started to chuckle at his sensitivity and proceeded to insult him more. They enjoyed his unpredictable rebounds and his defiance of the laws of nature.
They then were told by Maria to introduce themselves.
A Latino boy spoke first, "Hi, my name is Carlos Manger. I am one of many adopted children. I am a 3rd year in middle school."
A tan boy with curly hair shouted, "Hello everybody! My name is Jeremiah Manger; another adopted sibling. I am a 5th year in elementary school."
He then pointed to a boy next to him, and said, "This is Ryder Manger; he is obviously another adopted kid. He's quite shy around new people, but once you get to know him he really is a cool dude. Oh! And he's in my grade too."
A black guy came up to us and held out his hand which we all shook. The twins and Haruhi greeted him with a hello and a hug. He responded by ruffling Haruhi's hair, which made Hikaru and Tamaki fume. He rolled his eyes at their immaturity and turned to Honey, Mori, and myself to introduce himself.
"Hey, my name is Zackary Manger. You probably already met my twin Chloe. Obviously I go to high school as a 2nd year. So who wants to introduce themselves next…?"
"I will", said a deep voice. We turned to see a boy who looked like Chrissy-Tia, except he had a more masculine jaw line and build.
"My name is Brandon-Lee Karmazin. I am a second year at the high school, which some of you may already know." He shifted his weight uncomfortably when the other hosts continued to just stare at him. He started shaking angrily from their pointed stares.
Brandon then shot a glare at my fellow club mates. "Is there something interesting about my face? 'Cause I would like to be let in on the secret. I get it! I look like male carbon copy of Chrissy-Tia! I don't need to be reminded…by complete strangers".
Haruhi simply looked at him in her owlish way. "Sorry we're just really amazed by how you look so much like older sister…And it's nothing to be ashamed of. You still are your own person after all."
Brandon was dazed and entranced by Haruhi.
Suddenly a girl with hazel eyes and tan skin came up to us…For a moment we all thought she was another adopted kid, until she spoke.
"Hey, my name is Kendall-Lynn Karmazin. Although, I don't look it, I am biologically related to my other siblings. I am a 1st year in high school!"
She sounds like Chrissy-Tia.
Three identical triplets came up to us and said, "Our names are Grayson-Oliver, Isaiah-Niklas, and Annabelle-Gianna Karmazin. We are only three years old, so we don't go to school. We hope you are going to play with us, because we love playing with new people." The twins smiled at the three.
A little girl who looked like a younger Chrissy-Tia, skipped over to us and bowed. "Hello, I am Makenna-Evelyn Karmazin. I am in kindergarten. I like eating cake, so I hope you brought some." Her face went into a serious expression that I guess must have been cute, because it made Tamaki and the twins squirm. Whatever…
A new set of twins came and bowed to us. However, this pair was different, for they had different hair colors and genders. "Hi, my name is Sebastian-Vladimir Karmazin…" started the male twin with black hair.
"…and my name is Scarlett-Natasha Karmazin", finished the female twin with dirty blonde hair.
"We are in the 2nd year of middle school." They chorused.
The first set of twins returned. "Our names are L.L. Karmazin and B.R. Karmazin. We are identical twins and we dare you to find out which one is which. We are middle school 3rd years…By the hottie, are you still single?" They draped their arms over Haruhi, and kissed both of her cheeks simultaneously.
Tamaki started fuming and Hikaru was shouting at them.
"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HARUHI IN THAT MANNER?!" shouted Tamaki.
"Don't touch my toy!" screeched Hikaru.
The two boys looked at one another and started to laugh. "Are you saying that you two own her like your personal sex-slave?"
"No! She is my precious daughter, so I refuse to have others disgrace her in such a foul manner..."
Hikaru interjected at the top of his lungs, "She is my toy, and I will not have anyone else play with her like that, with the exception of my brother."
The two brown-haired twins grinned evilly. "So, what you both are saying is that you do indeed use her as a sex slave to fulfill your inner fantasies? You guys are really sick bastards who need to be put away for a long time and need to become someone else's bitches."
"YOU TWO HAVE A REALLY BAD MOUTH! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF WE WASHED YOUR MOUTHS OUT WITH SOAP?"
"SOUO AND HIKARU ARE GOING TO BE MY BREAKFAST!" growled an unhappy voice. Tamaki and Hikaru became ghostly pale.
"Who is that?" all the Hosts ask timidly. I might have an idea who it is…
"Looks like Eva is awake ", said a sheepish Maria. Just as I thought…I knew she wasn't a morning person.
The other Hosts paled.
"Looks like Eva-chan isn't a morning person at all huh Takashi?"
"…Yeah".
"Is she going to kill us?" asked the twins and Tamaki.
"Don't worry; she's only going to slaughter Tamaki and Hikaru for waking her up so early…" said L.L. and B.R. We all sweat dropped …It's only 9 in the morning.
"She usually sleeps in till 10:30, so you guys are definitely in big time trouble…Can you say Tamaki and Hikaru kebobs?" they asked.
"Goodbye Hikaru…" cried Kaoru.
"Kaoru take care…you were the best brother a twin could ever have".
"Oh Hikaru!" They dramatically held each other. All the Manger and Karmazin children were horrified by this incestuous display.
Tamaki screamed frantically, "What about me? Don't you have any love for your father?"
Hikaru and Kaoru looked at each other. "Nope! Bye Boss!"
Tamaki went off into his corner sulking. "Nobody cares about the death of their beloved Host King."
"Guys, would you please calm down? I don't think Eva will kill you, because you were being loud idiots", deadpanned Haruhi.
L.L. and B.R. shook their heads at her. "Poor hottie, she thinks that Eva will show mercy. She is not aware of the fact that Eva loves to munch on boy's heads early in the morning and wash 'em down with a bar of dark chocolate." The rest of the Hosts gulped loudly.
Tamaki suddenly started ranting loudly, "Don't call my little girl such a degrading nickname!"
We hear a loud rumbling coming from upstairs. Tamaki froze.
"Suou I warned you…Now I'm gonna crunch on your bones!" Tamaki squealed and the other Hosts started to visibly shake.
Eva came charging down the stairs at warp speed. She had a very dark look in her eyes with the intent of inflicting pain on the nuisances who woke her up. Her hair seemed to be moving like venomous snakes. She loomed over Tamaki and threw him into the corner. He landed with a loud thud. She then headed over to Hikaru and flipped over to the same corner. He landed on Tamaki; which inevitably made Tamaki become crushed under Hikaru.
She headed over to me, and yelled, "Why did you bring these idiots over to my house? It's too early for this commotion." A dark aura with a murderous intent was swirling around her.
I felt my own dark aura form around me. "I didn't have a choice. Chrissy-Tia wanted us all to come over here this early, so don't blame me for this. You do want to help Keiko, don't you?"
Her anger dimmed, and then it reheated. "How you dare bring her into this fight? At least she is not going to hold helping her over my head like you will probably do."
I glared at her, "Do you think that I am so heartless that I would help out someone only when there is a substantial benefit for me?"
She smiled darkly, "Sometimes…I feel that's all you care about, but then I remember how caring you can be…And that's all that matters as long as you hide yourself behind a mask, right?"
"People take advantage of nice people, so it's important to protect one self. But you wouldn't know about that would you, because you are so open about everything." I hissed.
"Well at least I have the courage to reveal who I really am", she threw back.
"Good for you! You will never see me show any real emotion to anyone else other than to myself!" I shouted.
"I just did." She smirks happily. She tricked me…into slipping off my mask…Why don't I even feel the least bit angry…Do I want to truly want all of them to see me as I truly am?
"I can't believe you guys didn't see her motives. The moment she had thrown Hikaru into the corner, she was already back to normal Eva. She just wanted to get a rise out of Kyoya", said a familiar voice.
All of the Hosts and I jumped at the voice and turned slowly to see Alex was standing casually in the shadows as if she has been there the entire time.
"Why are you guys so surprised? That's typical Alex behavior to hide in the shadows. She is like a Shadow Ninja. She is really good at sneaking up on people", matter-of-factly said her relatives.
We all sweat dropped. Well that isn't too creepy, I could use as a spy in the future…I could also learn her technique to give Tamaki a bit of a scare and possible heart attack…He! Ha! He!
"How is hiding in the shadows like an animal a good thing for a woman to do?" screeched Tamaki.
The relatives said in perfect unison, "Because it helps them escape certain situations dummy!" Tamaki ran over to cultivate…tomatoes?
That's new for him…How does he do that anyway?
We heard some commotion going on upstairs, and we turned towards the sound. We saw Nicole, Keiko, Emi, Chloe, B.J., and Haley stumble down the stairs. Keiko was in a black nightgown. Chloe was wearing a shirt, sweats and sneakers. Emi was only wearing a robe and knee-high boots. B.J. was wearing bunny pajamas. Nicole was wearing boxers and a sports bra. Haley was wearing black skinny jeans, a black Sweeney Todd shirt, and black combat boots…
Well no wonder Nekozawa fell over heels for her! She is darkness personified.
Nicole acknowledged us with a grunt. Chloe jerked her chin at us in greeting. B.J. and Keiko give us a small wave.
Emi said while yawning, "Hey! When did you guys get here?"
"Not too long ago, my princess, I must say that you are looking rather radiant this morning."
She rolled her eyes. "Sure, I do." I hate to admit it, but Tamaki's right. But that's only because Eva is not a morning person, she is more of night owl or a daytime kind of lady that I lov…admire.
She turned to Haley, "When did Nekozawa go home last night?"
"Who says I ever went home?" interjected a gliding Nekozawa.
Everyone jumped in shock at his sudden appearance (even Keiko).
"Good morning, my Dark Knight. I would rather it be nighttime instead of day…But you can't be too choosy…It's our 3rd month anniversary today, and I am considering last week part of our time together, because it was our first argument."
"Say what!" everyone exclaimed except for Nicole.
Haley turned to us and said, "Oh! Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention the length of our relationship. By the way since we are confessing things, we sort of made up that fight you Hosts had to fix, because Neko and I were bored…"
The Hosts and I sweat dropped; as did the relatives.
"Typical Haley, always needing attention from a little stirred up drama." Nicole stated flatly.
"Are you serious? We had to do all of that work for nothing!" cried B.J.
"C'mon, why so glum bunny, is it because you were forced to let the Hosts play along with our game? But that's not the only thing that I need to tell you…"
"Please don't tell me you got knocked up…'Cause if that's the case, then you are on your own… I am not to raise your kid while you go to college", deadpanned Maria.
"No I am not going to college. But that's not the point…I'm engaged to Neko as of last night, and he asked me to move in with him today and I said yes."
Everyone was stunned that she would move so quickly in with her soon-to-be fiancée.
"Well congrats! I know that you will be a great housewife to Nekozawa and you too living together makes sense", said Nicole.
"I would have rather you waited until after you married him, but I can't stop you", huffed Eva.
The others smiled in approval. Tamaki started going off on the merits of true love and happy married couples.
"Well, I'm glad that you made my decision concerning you easier to make", entered a new voice.
We looked for the source of the speaker, and saw it was an older man on the television apparently was attempting to Skype the Mangers and Karmazins. It was none other than Robert Manger. His dark mocha skin was shining through the screen. His eyes narrowed into slits, as if he were prepared to steal everyone's soul.
"Well hello to you too Grandfather."
"As of now you have no legal right to call me that, I have currently just disowned you. Your name is now just Haley. You have thoroughly disappointed me time and time again. Joining a man in bed, before you even marry him is disgraceful. Moving in with a man, before you marry him is unbefitting of a young woman. Marrying the heir to the Black Magic Company is a travesty to the Manger name. You are a selfish orphan who has used this family's name for the last time in vain. Therefore, you are banned from all Manger-owned residences and required to be gone by the end of today; you are also never allowed to speak to another Manger as long as you live, unless you wish to lose some of your husband's money. Enjoy what's left of your life, Miss Haley."
"You are a complete bastard!" shouted Nicole.
The man on the television screen glared at Nicole. "And you are a woman without a pedigree. Miss Nicole, if you do one more rebellious act against me, then you will be disowned as well. Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
"Crystal", she said through gritted teeth.
"Evangeline, congratulations on your engagement and the gossip that has steamed from it, you will most certainly gain a prominent position in our family's company. Good bye for now." He hung up.
"Haley, I am so sorry that bastard did this to you." Nicole comforted Haley by rubbing her sides.
It is strange to see Nicole so gentle to others…
Haley was in tears, her voice cracked while saying, "I'm only saddened that I won't be able to talk to you guys after this…I love you all so much…Can we just go to the dining room, so we can have our last meal as a family? I want that".
We all sat down at the longest and frankly most beautiful dining table. It held burners with scrambled eggs, fried eggs, and assorted meats on top. There were 3 huge baskets of muffins. A sack of pancakes were at the center of the table that seemed to go as high as the ceiling. Bottles of syrup surrounded the stack along with butter dishes (that somehow managed not to melt).
I was astounded by the amount of food before me. I looked over at my fellow Hosts. Haruhi's eyes were wide and brimming with happiness at the sight before her. The twins and Tamaki were excited. Honey was jumping up and down. Mori had a slight smile on his face.
We all sat down and filled our plates. I have to admit the food was beyond good, it was spectacular to say the least.
"Thank-you Maria-san!" said Haruhi, the twins, and Tamaki.
She laughed, and the relatives all joined in with her. We all looked at her in confusion.
Was this some kind of American thing they did in the mornings?
She wiped away her tears, and said, "Dear, I can't cook at all. It was Chrissy-Tia who made this grand feast for everyone."
"Really? I didn't know she was this good", said Haruhi.
"She doesn't like to brag, and when guests are over, she usually makes me take the credit."
"Tia-chan makes really good cakes too!"
"I have to wonder though…"
"…where is she and when did she make this meal?"
"Yes! Where is our beloved Cinderella? She should be dining with us and not forced to dine in the servant's quarters like a third-class citizen. She should be praised for her cooking…" All of the family sweat dropped at him.
"Idiot!" I agree with them 100%!
He ran off with his plate, eating his pancake in his corner of woe.
"She is in the nursery, taking care of Jasmine. She was making breakfast when all of the commotion was going on, and when the sleepy heads woke up. I just sent her off to take a nap, from staying up late to help Keiko settle in our crazy household as well as dealing with Jasmine into the wee hours of the morning ", said Kendall-Lynn.
"Who's Jasmine?" asked Hikaru and Kaoru.
"Her adopted baby, I thought Kyoya already mentioned this when you first met us," chided Eva.
"Well…it must have not been that interesting if we didn't remember…We only tend to remember only exciting facts about people, not the boring ones…Besides adopting a baby, isn't as interesting as say being a national kendo and boxing champ."
Nicole smirked proudly at them.
Alex huffed exasperatedly.
"What?" they asked.
"…"
"That's what we thought…"
"I don't understand why you guys think that you should only care about the interesting facts about a person. That's stupid and immature. You need to appreciate a person for not just their unique qualities, but for their less interesting ones as well…Truthfully nobody has an interesting quality about them; just an interesting event happen to them", she philosophized.
"I guess you're right Alex", said Kaoru.
She smiled triumphantly at him. Kaoru blushed faintly. They had a moment of gazing into each other's eyes like they were star-crossed lovers.
Nicole ruined their "moment" with, "I'm still not over the fact that our bastard of a grandfather did that to you Haley."
"Nicole, I'm not surprised that he did this…It's in his nature…Besides I'm not even his biological granddaughter…I just want you all to know that I have had the best 3 years of my childhood with you…I also want to thank the Host Club for getting me and Neko back together; even though our "break-up" was a farce. But I love Nekozawa with every fiber of my dark being. He is the blanket of darkness that I need in my life. I am so thankful that I am going to marry him after the end of the school year…I can't wait to fulfill my dreams of becoming his wife and the mother of his children. I will understand if none of my ex-siblings can make it without being disowned by Big Bad Grandpa Manger. I will miss you guys so much…that's why it is even more crucial to ensure that Keiko is going to become a part of this family…Because she needs to get out of her parent's house, so she can experience what a real family is like…Keiko, I am so glad that I have met you, you are truly a fantastic person and I would be honored to consider you family." She looked at Nekozawa with tears in her eyes, and he wiped her tears away.
Everyone had teared up from her speech. I had to adjust my glasses, so no one could see the one tear that escaped from my face.
"Also, I know this is going to sound pretty selfish, but could you guys please help me pack up all of my stuff into my Dark Prince's limo, as soon as we finish breakfast. Then afterwards the Host Club, Eva, Nicole, Keiko, and Chrissy-Tia can go take down the evil devils that have hurt Keiko."
Everyone applauded, and said, "Of course we will help you."
Everyone soon returned back to a more light-hearted conversation.
"Are you saying that you don't understand what ignoramus means?" asked Nicole mock-threateningly.
"'Cause you fit the word perfectly…It would only make sense if you recognized the word", added a mocking Emi.
Tamaki was sweating profusely from all of the pressure these girls were giving him. "Sorry princesses, I don't understand…"
A baby cry erupted from behind us. We all turned to see Chrissy-Tia holding a baby.
She was wearing a baggy black cat sweater that went past her butt. She had on form-fitting yoga pants that showed off her subtle curves. She was cradling the young baby in a purple blanket. Her long curly hair was swaying as she rocked the child. Her face was glowing despite the bags under her eyes.
"Jasmine, it's alright sweetheart. Mommy's here", she said sweetly.
"Maria, do we still have some formula in the fridge?"
She jerked her head up and saw us. "Hello, everyone, I hoped you all enjoyed your breakfast! I also pray that my family hasn't caused you too much trouble."
"If I may ask why do you not like to brag about your cooking abilities? You are quite good. And no, they have behaved like good children; they only attack Tamaki." I stated.
"To answer your question Kyoya-san, it is rude to be so vain about one's qualities. You all know better than to treat our guests with some disrespect…So please try to keep your insults to a minimum", scolded Chrissy-Tia.
"Sorry C.T." they all huffed in submission.
"Thank-you for gracing us with your presence my Princess, I was so worried that you had been locked away from us in a high tower that would require us to have to climb in order to rescue you. But I can see now that you are a rare breed of Princess who can take care of herself."
She nodded her head in thanks and headed to the kitchen to make Jasmine a bottle.
"Princess? Is this dude serious? Who speaks like that anymore?"
"He needs to go back to the medieval times, if he wants to talk like a feudal lord." This kid started cracking up.
"I can't believe that he called C.T. a Princess! I bet that's his sick way of getting near women. If wants to pick up chicks that way, he should go back to medieval Europe where he belongs. He probably even wouldn't be accepted there either, because he's such a phony and a moron…"
Each time the children said a hurtful comment to him. A spear-like arrow would pierce his heart.
"Enough you guys!" shouted Makenna. She went over to Tamaki, and comforted him.
"Don't worry about those meanies, Mister. They're just jealous of how funny you are."
"Really? You find me hilarious Princess?"
She giggled at him, and said, "Yes. Now why don't you have some bacon? It's very tasty and I'm sure that it will make you feel better."
"My dear, what is this bacon?"
"It's meat"
She handed a piece of greasy looking strip.
Tamaki hesitantly looked at the piece, he was about to refuse, when he saw Makenna's face he bit into it. His face exploded into pure pleasure.
The other Hosts and I took this as a good sign and also grabbed for a slice. We bit into it, and it was delicious.
"Aww…Look at the kids from the prestigious Ouran Academy enjoying deep-fried American Bacon. All hail Bacon!" shouted the children.
Chrissy-Tia brought Jasmine in a high-chair, and started clearing away the table.
"Let's go up to my room and pack!"
We all followed her up the stairs. Her room was very dark. Her suitcases were already full of clothes, shoes, and bathroom accessories. Her closet and drawers was bare, as was her bathroom. She had open boxes scattered across her floor.
"Didn't you say that you needed help packing?" asked Hikaru and Kaoru.
"Yeah with my knickknacks, movies, pictures, posters, electronic devices, and my cat's belongings; what else did you think I need to take Neko?" asked Haley.
"What about your furniture?"
"She won't need to worry about that. My mansion is already furnished with dark furniture, so we will be fine in my room", explained Nekozawa.
"What?!" everyone exclaimed.
"You guys are going to share a room together?"
"Yeah…So why are you guys getting all worked up about this…That's what moving in with someone means." Everybody flushed in embarrassment for realizing that she already mentioned this to them before.
"Are you saying that you plan to deflower this dark Princess before you even marry her?"
"Tamaki, we've already past that point in our relationship…So that's not his intent. We just want to have a room to ourselves".
"What about Neko's parents?"
"They approve of us sharing a room; in fact they were the ones who suggested it."
The Host Club and I fell over.
"Hey are we going to move out or what?"
Everyone quickly helped her all of her stuff and her cat supplies into the open boxes, and put it in Nekozawa's limo. They also put her suitcases in the trunk of the limo. She only carried her cat 'Jewel-Bezelle' in her arms. The cat decided to jump into the limo.
Haley was in tears and hugged all of her family. Chrissy-Tia whispered something in her ear that made her smile.
Haley said, "I love you all! I will miss you guys! Goodbye my family!"
She started to cry again, but she instead of hugging someone she walked into the limo with her head held high.
Their limo then drove off into the horizon.
Most of the relatives said goodbye to us, and headed off to the living room to watch TV. Eva, Nicole, Keiko and Chrissy-Tia headed up the stairs to change into something more appropriate to intimidate Keiko's parents.
I hoped that Eva would be okay with facing them.
~Eva's POV~
I don't like doing this to Keiko.
"Guys, are you sure that we should be forcing Keiko to come with us to face her parents?"
"Evangeline, I don't like doing this to her either, but it will help her gain courage to face her parents"
"What's the matter Eves? Afraid that she can't handle being near those monsters? You should have faith in Keiko, like I do".
I glared at her. "Of course, I do. You should have faith in me."
"Why should I? You are a coward Eves, and you think everyone else around you is one."
"At least I'm not a complete bitch like you"
"You little…"
"Hey! This is not the time or the place. You guys always fight about the stupidest things…Why?" Chrissy-Tia purposely stood between Nicole and me.
"Because I can't stand her and I wish that she go away!" we screamed in unison.
We proceeded to glare murderously at one another.
"…Come on let's get Keiko and go. You two need to separate and stay away from each other. Got it?"
"Chrissy-Tia, do you think that this appropriate enough to face off my parents?"
We turned to look her over. Keiko was wearing a white blouse, black slacks, and black flats. Though it looked like church clothes, it gave an intimidating vibe on her.
We walked down the stairs, and hollered at the Hosts that it was time to go intimidate the abusers.
~Time Skip~
We arrived at the house. It looked tore-up.
Poor Reiko, she has to live with a wannabe Addams Family looking house. And not to mention, being surrounded by the parents from Hell!
Walked up to the door and rang the bell. A creepy butler answered the door.
We were beckoned into the house, and found two formidable figures in a loveseat in the living room. The mother of the family looked like a man (but even comparing it to a male would be an insult to the male population) in an oversized ball gown. The father of the family was a hairy giant with a face that could be easily forgotten.
"How may we help you today children?"
"Drop the act. You know full damn well why we are here. So get to issuing your demands", said Nicole.
"Alright, here's the deal, we will allow you to keep our filthy daughter, as long as you don't report us to the police about her bumps and bruises in order for us to keep up our image; along with a few other requests".
Chrissy-Tia choked out, "Are you serious? You care more about your pathetic image than your own blood…That is absolutely dishonorable. I am so happy that we are getting her out of this prison. Come on Keiko, let's pack your things."
She took Keiko out of the room quickly.
"These are our requests: 1) We want 800 million yen for our trouble of losing our only daughter, 2) We want a spot on the Board for the Powerful Families in Japan, 3)…"
Kyoya interrupted them, "We won't be able to agree to those requests, because as of this morning the Tokyo Police have confirmed that your first-born son is the murderer of 15 wealthy businessmen, so obviously we can't make any type of deal with you." That's my man!
All of the Hosts were smiling smugly at his crudeness.
"…But…"
Chrissy-Tia scurried down the stairs with Keiko in tow. She ran over to Kyoya and whispered something, and then she bent down to Honey and whispered it as well.
Kyoya and Honey both grew pale momentarily. Then they became completely angry by her words.
Kyoya's glasses glinted very dangerously. Damn! I never want to get on his bad side…Or do I? Eva! Stop thinking like a pervert!
Honey's eyes narrowed, and his voice became low and protective.
"We definitely aren't going to let you get away with hurting our friend. After forcing your daughter to perform such sick games…Consider yourselves the enemies of the Haninozuka, the Morinozuka, the Ootori, the Suou, and the Hitachiin families. We will be taking you to court over this. Be prepared to lose."
The two parents were shaking and became ghostly pale.
"You have nothing on us", they weakly said.
"Actually we have Keiko's bruises, scars, and her extensive hospitalization records. Also we have the weapons you used against her, so we have the upper advantage on taking you down; not to mention evidence pointing to Keiko being forced to live in your bedroom closet; shackled to the wall. I do hope for your sakes that you can find a decent lawyer, though I doubt you will be able to find one who will work for you", Kyoya said while smiling cruelly.
Everyone glared at Keiko's parents.
Honey whipped out his phone to call the police.
Chrissy-Tia announced that she needed to take Reiko to the doctor to see if anything was infected.
She left and dragged Nicole alongside.
Smart move C.T.! Nicole is liable to snap and kill this family, before the police even arrive.
The police arrived to start their investigation.
They told us that we should leave, so they could do their work.
We all walked off the gruesome property.
Kyoya and I slowly walked behind the rest.
My hand slips into Kyoya's without even thinking about it.
…Why do I trust him so easily? Because I love him first and foremost, and secondly he does so much for others without any real 'strings' attached. I just need him to realize it…
I also think that maybe it would be a good idea, if we didn't date until this court case is all settled. I need to help Chrissy-Tia help Keiko get used to our crazy home life. I need to tell him all of this…
"Kyoya?"
"Yeah?"
"I think it was very kind of you to stick your neck out like that."
He looked at me in surprise. "I wasn't sticking my neck out. I was helping someone, because I wanted to. I didn't do it, to benefit me for my own gain".
"I know Kyoya. I just needed you to recognize that. And I need to tell you that we should probably not go on a date until this investigation and the trial is over."
"I agree".
Look how quickly he agrees…Going on dates with me must be really troublesome.
"Alright then…" I let go of his hand and held myself.
I hope one day that he will love me…I can't stand this one-sided romance.
I slid into the limo, and just looked out the window.
I don't want to be alone in this marriage, but I need to suck it up...The only good thing that will probably come out of this is that I will get to have his children…
I looked over at him.He was staring intently at his notebook.
He has no idea…But I don't want to tell him and ruin what we have between us…unless I absolutely have to.
