Alex Conners: 5'0, Virgo. Positive traits of Virgos: brave, sincere, dynamic, freedom loving, spontaneous, adventurous, takes initiatives, inspiring, and child-like enthusiasm. Negative traits of Virgos: rushing into things, ego, demanding everything immediately, and reacting. Theme song? Probably So in Love with Two, by Mikaila. I don't own OHSHC or FMA or FMAB.
A week. A week was all it took before Alex grew to love this hospital. The food was amazing, the nurses and doctors were really nice, and the TV-Holy shanp, that TV! She was able to play video games- albeit it was difficult using only one hand. And it was not easy playing against Hikaru and Kaoru, who could so easily use both. But then they made it to where they both used one controller, Hikaru and Kaoru sharing it and using one hand. Kaoru would lead the player, while Hikaru made all the actions. It was hilarious watching fall all over themselves as they tried to fight a boss.
But, there was a laptop, so Alex grew to love the hospital even more. She had one of the nice nurses put the laptop on the desk thing that rested above her legs and she was free to roam Google all she wished. The laptop...her haven. She completely understood why Kyoya typed on his pineapple (Yes, she noticed) laptop all day long during the manga, laptops are amazing.
Hikaru and Kaoru were actually nice enough to send in a arm therapist for Alex-she was gradually gaining control of her arm. She could now lift it up at least two inches off the bed sheets. She was making progress. Her ribs would need at least five more weeks to completely heal, but she could leave after four, so long as she used crutches or a wheel chair. She could walk, so she would probably use crutches-despite how tempting the wheelchair would be. She was given pain killers regularly, so to help get rid of the pain. But, it still didn't do much with the pain she had to bear, knowing that she would never be able to see her loved ones again.
According to the doctor, Yuuichi, Akari-the girl she was supposed to be, the girl she swapped places with- has no family, having been murdered. Alex found that slightly ridiculous, overpowering, but knew that murders were really common. Akari's family wasn't rich in the slightest, so there was more proof that the murder happened.
And despite how often the twins' visited, it was proven that it was only to see that she was still alive and kicking, rather than them actually caring about her. Pain killers...what she wouldn't give if they could get rid of this pain.
Alex opened her eyes and sighed softly, turning her head to see the sun high in the sky, signalling it was noon. In a few moments, if they were coming, the twins' would be here, most likely to annoy her to the end of time.
...
They refused. They refused to let her out, despite the fact that it has been four weeks. Stupid twins', can't they see that she just wanted out of this place? She was sick of being cooped up in a bed for so long. She wanted to walk, she wanted to run- despite how much hated running.
The twins' didn't help at all. No, in fact, they only made it worse. She had to stay until her six weeks were done, and three extra days-just to make sure her vital signs were okay and she was completely healthy. She swore the twins were just out to spite her. Anyway, by this time, Alex was more than convinced that everything was completely real-she wasn't dreaming, it wasn't because of a concussion, or hallucinations...The pain was still there, the emotional pain, but it was numbing...
...
"Right, so, we were thinking," The kind twin began-Alex still couldn't tell them apart yet.
"that when you enroll into Ouran, you should visit us in our club."
"And,"
"quite obviously,"
"help out in the club."
"Wh-what? Why?" Alex questioned, alarmed and slightly surprised. "Why-Why would I-why would you want me to help with your club?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Twin number two questioned, a smirk crawling its way up onto his face, "Your our new toy."
"And, as our toy, you need to help out with the club. It is your last day here in the hospital, afterall."
"And, since we're also giving you a place to live, it's only fair that you do us a favor."
"Should I be frightened?" Alex questioned, raising an eyebrow. The twins' grinned and in completely unison,
"Very, very frightened."
"Joy...Remind me to tell everyone to not invite you to my funeral." They seemed to find that funny, as their eyes reflected amusement and their grins seemed to grow.
"I'll pick the flowers," One said,
"And I'll get the coffin." Two finished, both grinning sadistically.
Liam...Mom, Dad, Briana, Drake, Marie...I hope you all are doing well. I hope you are all happy. She felt the pain hit her once more and she breathed in deeply, her chest tightening at the heart crushing feeling that appeared. My entire life has changed...I just hope it isn't for the worse.
Alex sighed and the twins' looked at her oddly, before twin one spoke up,
"You know...the Doctor's said you can get out tomorrow morning, and it won't be much of a wait."
"Yeah, it'll be fine." Twin two said, much more nonchalantly. He seemed to care less about how the girl was feeling. He caught his brother's gaze and sighed, "Don't worry, you'll be out of here before you know it."
"Y-Yeah...I guess." Alex, despite not being upset over that, felt grateful for their attempts to cheer her up. At least she wasn't hit by a complete snob. That was the only upside, she guessed. And that she isn't dead. That was pretty good, if you don't count the fact that she was ripped away from everything she even known and loved and can never ever see her loved ones again...Yeah, it was pretty good. "Thanks, I suppose..." Isn't that what one was supposed to say to something like that?
There was a small silence, in which Alex began, "Yup, that's cool. Really? How interesting-whoa, Jason did what!?"
The brothers' looked at her oddly and Alex nodded at them, acting as if they had spoke,
"Yeah...I can't believe it either-"
"Who the hell," Twin two began, raising an eyebrow.
"are you talking too?" Twin one finished, also raising an eyebrow.
"Now you decide to talk." Alex huffed and sighed loudly, closing her eyes. I want out of here...I want to go home. Home with her stuffed animals, her laptop, her mother and father, and her sisters' and brother who are never home 'cause they're all in college. Twenty-two, twenty-one, and nineteen. Alex was fifteen, though she looked younger than that. I miss you guys...
A brief image of a boy with ginger hair and glasses popped in her head and she felt her heart clench, Liam... She missed him, but she also missed her friends. They were all a bunch of goofballs...Ellena may have been the only girl besides her, but she was the only female that Alex could actually feel close too. Sure, there Natasha and Sally, but...she just didn't feel as close to them as she was with Ellena. Then there was Rapheal, Ellen's boyfriend, and Liam. Liam...They all made fun of her for being a klutz and called her "Clumsy" but they were just joking around. Besides, if they weren't truly her friends, they wouldn't even bother to hang around her. She was obnoxious, annoying, loud, extremely sarcastic and...she just wasn't good with people.
The twins' visit ended not long after that, and they left. Alex ate her (delicious, rich people type) hospital food and went back to sleep, fully intent on leaving tomorrow.
...
"I wanted to thank you, again..." Akari's voice rang out in Alex's head and she groaned, mumbling,
"Great, what did I do this time? Did I die again?" Akari giggled slightly and shook her head,
"No, talking to you is only because of the same figure who gave me the message. He's actually rather nice, remind me of Truth from FMAB though."
"Yeah..."
"Anyway, I'm really sorry." Alex raised an eyebrow at the girl's saddened nature,
"What-Why, what's wrong? What happened-why are you apologizing?" It came out slightly harsh and Alex flinched, "Sorry!"
"It's fine...And...I took all this away from you. I was selfish and I took you from your home, your family, your friends, Liam..." Alex cut in, narrowing her eyes,
"How'd you know about him?" Akari smiled gently at her and tapped her head repeatedly with her index finger,
"You gained my memories all the way up to five years old, right? Well, I gained your fifteen years of memories, while still keeping my own. It's been rather helpful when it comes to talking to people. Oh! And, when people start asking questions, your back story is: You were kidnapped by a friend of the man who murdered your family, you both moved to America, and your name was changed to Alexandria Elizabeth Connors. Your original name, however, is Akari Akira Ayuzawa. So, if a girl with dark hair and eyes says that or something, then you know her. Her name will be Haruhi Fujioka. We used to be neighbors and close friends back in preschool."
"Right..." Alex nodded slowly, eyeing the girl weirdly, "Did you come up with that yourself or did the angel tell you that?" She grinned madly and Alex couldn't help but grin back,
"The Angel told me everything. Almost everything, but close enough."
"You realize I have bad memory, right?"
"Yes, yes I do. I have bad memory, too."
"Sweet! We'll get along epicly then!" Alex grinned widely. "Now..."
"You wake up."
"Wait, what-" Alex was cut off.
"Wake up! Geesh, talk about a deep sleeper." Alex opened her eyes groggily to find herself being shaken roughly by a pair of hands. She blinked and once her vision cleared, she saw red hair. She instantly asked, slightly hopeful,
"...Liam?"
"No, it's me, Kaoru. We're checking you out of the hospital." Disappointment hit Alex in the chest like a bullet-and she knew what one felt like, so she had a right to make that comparison- and frowned, her lips sticking out slightly in a pout.
"Oh...Okay, ow-!" She flinched when one of the needles were taken out of her arms. Kaoru gently pulled the Oxygen mask off of her face and backed away, allowing the Doctors to do the rest. Alex looked at Kaoru, blinking as she took in his features. High cheekbones, an ideal nose...Her eyes roamed his face, trying to spot a difference from him and his brother. They both have mischievous eyes...His kind of remind me of Edward's though...Like Scar said in that one episode, he has "Kind" eyes...I think his head is square, but I could be wrong... Um... Alex was taken out of her thoughts when one of the nurse's said,
"All done, Mr. Hitachiin, Ms. Connors is free to go." Alex made to stand, sliding off the bed, only to almost have her legs give out on her completely. There was a loud, and high-pitch, shout as Alex toppled to the ground. She grumbled incoherently as she got up on her knees, shaking her poor, throbbing hands.
"Well, that felt lovely, I just can't wait to do that again." Alex grumbled, sarcasm leaking off of her tongue like a second language. She tried to stand again, her legs incredibly weak from not walking or standing for six weeks and three days, wobbling. "Whoa-Whoa!" She waved her arms frantically as she started to fall again, only to quickly catch her balance. "I'm okay! I'm good! I'm okay, thanks for asking! The food was wonderful, tasted like heaven-believe me, I've been in hospital for a long time, I would know." She laughed slightly and Kaoru shook his head, watching her stumble as she walked towards him and the door.
"Ah, come on already, Hikaru's waiting in the car." Kaoru reached forward and grabbed her arm, slinging it over his shoulder as he put the other on her waist, "He's extremely impatient."
Alex jumped in surprise, and gasped, "Wh-What're you doing?"
"Helping, you were gonna fall before we even get down the hallway." As if to prove his point, Alex tripped slightly and Kaoru helped her catch her balance. "Come on, the exit is this way. School starts in two days, since it's Saturday. So make sure you're ready and able to walk by then."
"Whatever." Alex said, nodding her slightly. "I'll try."
"Better, or we'll have you cleaning up after our servants."
"Oh, you're nice."
"I try."
"Brilliant."
"Thank you, I try."
"You realize I was being sarcastic?"
"Yes. Now get in the car." Alex huffed and grumbled unintelligible words as she was forced to get in the-
"What the hell!? You call that a car!? That's a fucking limo!" Kaoru slid in next to his brother, who smirked.
"Yeah, you should be grateful that we're letting a Commoner like you into something as expensive as this."
"Not to mention you're going to be living in our mansion."
"And going to Ouran Academy, where only filthy rich aristocrat heirs get to go."
"And help in the Host Club,"
"where people with way too much time on their hands,"
"entertain ladies, who also, have way too much time on their hands."
Alex was silent for a moment, staring at the two boys' who were smirking inside the heavenly vehicle, before asking bluntly, "I'm screwed, aren't I?"
"Nope, just our toy."
"Yeah...I'm screwed." Alex then turned around and started to walk towards the Hospital, "Later."
"Get back here!" Alex screamed when she was attacked by the twins' and forced inside the limo.
"I don't wanna!"
"Stop being so childish!" Hikaru grunted, his voice faintly reminiscent of Death the Kid and Ling. Thank god she watched the anime.
"I am childish, I can't help it!" She struggled as Kaoru put the seat-belt on her, ordering,
"To the mansion."
"Yes, Young Master." And the Chauffeur, the same one who used a frying pan, drove.
"I hate you all!"
