Chapter 11- Government Involvement:
Reve:
I slowly closed my eyes as I sat cross-legged to mediate. Yet, before I was in the full meditation state, it turned out that Iopov needed to speak with me.
I looked around at the mind plain of Iopov. The same café, the same tables, the same menu…Iopov, who was sitting at a table, waved his hand over. I obeyed and went to the table with a raised eyebrow. He shrugged,
"I suppose this would be more casual. With the news I am about to tell you, I also figured you would need to sit down."
"This is a mind plain," I pointed out, "if anything is that shocking I will just simply disappear and wake up back at the apartment."
"Touché."
"What is it you wish to speak with me about?"
Iopov sighed,
"Reve, I fear you, along with the girls- are in danger."
Third Person:
The next day at the host club, the hosts were confused that neither Reve nor Moriko had shown up for school that day. Mori, along with Hunny, was the most concerned. He found it odd that he never saw Moriko after their date. She didn't call. She didn't show up to school. Was it something he did? Did he move to fast?
"Twins," Tamaki ordered.
"Yes Boss?"
"Find Kato," he ordered, "we need to know what these aliens are up too!"
Kyoya sighed and the twins saluted. Then, the twins dashed from the room on a mission to find Kato. Kyoya sighed,
"If Reve and Moriko failed to show up, what makes you believe that Kato would?"
Tamaki looked thoughtful. Hunny didn't really understand why Tamaki was so set on 'proving that Reve Moriko, and Kato were aliens.' It was still fun though. Hunny wouldn't question it; he would just go with the flow. Mori, however, was a bit upset that Tamaki thought Moriko, along with Reve and Kato, were aliens. Why Tamaki had to be so outrageous was a mystery.
Soon, the twins returned with a sad expression,
"Sadly we can't find her anywhere-"
"-we even checked the Black Magic Club-"
"-even Nekozawa hasn't seen her today-"
"-Weird."
The twins shrugged. Tamaki looked thoughtful,
"I GOT IT," he declared as his mind theatre went into action, "Reve knew we were on too them and they were sent back to their home planet!"
"As likely as that is," Kyoya said sarcastically, "They are probably just ill. After all, they all do live together. If one of them got sick, it is only expected that the others would catch it as well."
Tamaki went into his 'emo corner,' muttering about 'Mommy' betraying them all for the aliens. Haruhi sighed,
"Sempai! Stop growing mushrooms!"
"Excuse us."
Tamaki snapped out of his funk as he looked at the men that entered the host club. Luckily, it was after hours so it wouldn't affect their clients. There were three large, tall men in suits- completed with sunglasses despite being indoors. There was one man that stood out between the three- a man in black slacks, an opened white jacket and a white shirt. He stepped forward,
"Pardon us for intruding," he said with a clear American accent, "I'm Dr. McLain. Would it be alright for me to ask you fellows a few questions?"
Kyoya narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Private information about ourselves-"
"-will not even be asked," Dr. McLain finished with a smile, "Now, have any of you seen a girl named Reve Effroi, Kato Skrapi, or even Moriko Tenshi?"
Kyoya saw through the doctor's fake smile.
"I'm afraid, gentlemen," Tamaki said, suspecting something was up, "that we haven't heard of any of those women. Now, please do leave."
The doctor narrowed his eyes. The men behind him were also glaring and they moved their arms slightly as they were about to grab their guns. The doctor sent them a look and they stopped. Mori narrowed his eyes, as did everyone in the host club, since they all spotted the guns under the men's jackets.
The doctor left, grumbling, and the men followed him. The twins whistled,
"Wonder what they did to get that much trouble-"
"-honestly, I'm surprised you didn't sell them out, Boss-"
"-after all, you do think that are aliens."
"Still," Tamaki said, "members of the host club are family and we do look after each other."
"Besides," Tamaki continued, "those men were clearly secret government agents sent to capture the aliens!"
Haruhi felt her sweat drop, of course.
"It is rather interesting that apparent agents of an American government are asking questions," Kyoya amused, "especially since their records seemed faked…"
"What do you mean," Haruhi asked.
"When I looked up Reve and her cousins, not much came up. Just the basics…it was too clean for my tastes. It seemed as if all the information about them was faked, and rather well if I didn't know what to look for."
The next day at school, Reve and Moriko did show up to the host club- though Kato had to go to the Black Magic Club. They didn't seem the same though. The hosts kept giving them concerned looks because Reve and Moriko were both very…lethargic looking. Reve's eyes were dull and she had tired bags under her eyes. Her shirt was wrinkled. Moriko fell asleep while hosting, her hair was tangled, and she was a bit more pale than usual. Something was wrong.
When their clients finally did leave, the hosts went into action. Reve didn't even react as the twins put her and Moriko in a chair with a light shining down on them- an interrogation. Mori had gritted his teeth at the actions since the club didn't know that he was dating Moriko.
"Why were government officials asking questions about you," Kyoya asked calmly.
"Why were your records faked," the twins asked,
"-this smells of conspiracy-"
"-maybe the Boss was right."
Tamaki's eyes shined with pride and Haruhi slapped him upside the head to knock down his pride. Reve winced, knowing that they were catching on.
"Before I say anything," Reve sighed, "Moriko, please go get Kato."
Moriko had wide eyes.
***
Kato smiled and chuckled slightly as Nekozawa grumbled when he mispronounced the spell. She smiled as she watched him- a week after that incident and they were still going strong in their secret relationship. Suddenly, the door opened and Kato hissed. Nekozawa quickly hid in the shadows as light poured into the room.
"Sorry," Moriko said as she fidgeted, "Reve wants you in the music room- now."
Kato huffed. She didn't get to see her boyfriend yesterday and she planned on spending time with him today- yet, now even that was ruined. Moriko left the room, closing the door behind her. Kato sighed.
"Are you alright," Nekozawa asked concerned, his puppet looked at her concerned as well.
"I'm fine," Kato shivered. She sighed and headed to the music room- taking the long way out by going out the main door and not the door that connects the Black Magic Club and the Host Club. In fact, Kato didn't even know that door existed.
As Kato entered the room, she noticed that Reve and Moriko were both sitting in chairs. The twins grabbed Kato and put her in a chair as well.
"The light isn't necessary," Reve pointed out.
The twins shrugged and in a second, the large light was gone. All the hosts looked at them curiously. Nekozawa poked his head out the door connecting the two rooms. Reve sighed. Kato looked at her,
"Reve," she thought- in English-, "what are you doing?"
Reve picked up on the thoughts and sent a message to Moriko and Kato,
"We may as well tell them."
"WHAT?!"
"Think about it- the government will most likely attack them whether they know or not. Therefore for their safety, in this case, it is safer to tell them."
Reve took a breath,
"For once, it appears that Tamaki is right. We are not as we appear."
