Chapter 4
A/N: Hey guys, Chapter 4 for ya! I got the idea of the dream from the girl who inspires Hezerai. xD I was happy I was able to get this out. Remember, short chapters, but frequent updates. Hope you guys like it, and thank you for Reviewing! Ja Ne~
-Narrator's POV-
It was awhile later before the girls' luggage arrived at the school, with a note of apology scrawled on each of the bags in Ketsueki's mother's handwriting. Seeing as how late it was the girls ended up changing straight into their pajama clothes (A pair of fuzzy multicolored pants for everyone, with varying color and styled shirts) instead of their normal causal clothes.
The girls now sat in a circle in the room they would be sharing (The school had cleared out two rooms in separate wings of the school for the students to stay in for the week) Indian style, their hands folded on their laps, discussing a dream that Hezerai had had the previous night.
"So you are trying to tell us that your dream consisted of going to space, and seeing space monkeys,r right?" Nusuki questioned her, one eyebrow raised.
Ketsueki cut in here. "Why do you look at her like she's insane? Do you not remember what my dream was? With the snakes that were like this long," She gestured to the length of the width of her arms, "and the lagoon/pond/lake thing? And the fact that I'm DEATHLY scared of water?" She pouted, sad she wasn't getting attention.
Nusuki gave her a look that said 'Really?' and spoke. "Yes, I do. But these things happen to you all the time. Now, as for Hezerai, her dreams usually have something to do with her living in the prairie, and being shot with a shot gun and killed. Never mind the part about the killer being American." She scoffed, "Stupid Americans and their Americanese* speak." She grumbled, earning a laugh from the group. Reminiscing in their long-term joke they got back to the original topic.
"Back on topic, yes Nusuki, I did. And it was stranger than your thinking right now, I'm sure of it." She let out a sigh and fell forward, her head just reaching past her feet in her sitting position."Especially with that stupid song! For hours this morning I couldn't get it out of my head!"
Jaxmine threw a glare her way. "So it was you that was humming that song this morning? I was convinced I was going INSANE! That song is so fricking annoying!" Suddenly getting what song it was they were hinting at Ketsueki began to sing it, very loudly.
" F IS FOR FRIENDS WHO DO STUFF TOGETHER, U IS FOR UKULELE, N IS FOR NYTHING AT ANYTIME AT ALL, HERE IN THE DEEP BLUE SEAAAAAAAAAAA!" Came her loud voice, singing the part she was sure annoyed them the most. Although, Jaxmine liked the second part a little more than she should have. This was proved by her belting it out.
" F IS FOR FIRE THAT BURNS DOWN THE WHOLE TOWN, U IS FOR URANIUM...BOMBS! N IS FOR NO SURVIVORS, HERE IN THE DEEP BLUE SEAAAAAAAAAAA!" Although the funny part here wasn't even her belting out the song. Oh no. It was that she was covering her ears while singing, as if the lyrics came out of her mouth compulsively.
After the two crazies finished their 'Booty-full' song, Hezerai got a brilliant idea. Pulling the group techie out, Ketsueki, she pointed to the stereo system her mother had brought oh-so-kindly, and gave a mischievous face. Nodding profusely, Ketsueki got to work setting up the speakers and such as the other girls screamed at each other to shut up, the 'stupid shitty song' didn't need to belted out that loud.
Once the speakers were put into place Ketsueki took out her personal iPod Touch, hit the 'Music' button, navigated to her 'Dance Music' playlist, brought the volume to maximum, and hit 'Play'. Almost immediately 'More' by Usher started playing. You could hear Jaxmine's prominent screams erupt over the music. Smirking, the brown and white haired girl grabbed her arms and started to dance with her.
Hezerai was quickly the next to join, Nusuki almost reluctantly after her. Jaxmine and Ketsueki quickly separated, and the four girls continued their dance that they all took part in choreographing, dancing in a way that can only be described as 'all sexy like' (Just imagine some epic dance moves that go with the beat of the song...it's really a good one. Look it up if you haven't heard it)
It was only by the end of the fifth song when Ketsueki noticed there was a feeling of being watched. Walking herself over to where her iPod was, (as she was going to change the song deliberately anyway) she looked around the room. The room itself was two stories, a single staircase leading up the second floor, which was set up in a balcony kind of way around the first floor. The first floor held four windows looking out on the front yard of Ouran, and had two doors. One in the left wall from the windows, and one across. Same for the second floor.
Ketsueki caught a glimpse of orange as she scrolled through the songs, absentmindedly looking for 'How to Save a Life' by The Fray. Finding it, she turned down the volume to a moderate level, grabbed four microphones (Which again, were there thanks to her mother. She knew way too much about these girls), tossed one to each of them, and let the song play.
Standing in front of a window, Jaxmine started off the song, singing the first few lines, then Nusuki picked it up, then Hezerai. Ketsueki sang the choruses her own, filling the air with such thick emotion you could cut through it like a knife through ham.
The four Host Club members were indeed above the girls, on the second floor. Although, if anyone asked, it was all the twins idea. Completely and irrevocably the twins idea. Kyoya and Mori had absolutely no curiosity about what the girls would be occupying them with at all. Zip. Zero. Nadda. And yet our Ootori friend was writing furiously in his black notebook, his glasses glinting in the setting sunlight.
The next song that played sparked an interest in the twins, however. 'The Only Exception' by Paramore began to play, and Hezerai was pushed to the center of the room. It was obvious the girl didn't want to sing along, but the girls must have made a bet or deal of some sort, as she gave in quickly, and sang with confidence.
As she sung she also felt as if she was being watched, and her eyes darted up to the balcony like second floor. A flash of orange hair. Now she caught on to what Ketsueki was trying to hint at earlier.
~Earlier~
"Hey guys, I've got an idea. Let's let my iPod shuffle through the songs. We'll go in order as we usually do, Hezerai, Jaxmine, Me, then Nusuki." Jaxmine intervened then, even though there wasn't much to intervene with.
"Woah,woah,woah. Why in all of hell should we do that?" She questioned, exasperated. She got a little crazy when she sang, especially if it was an Escape the Fate song.
"Because we've got company." Was her only reply, leaving Jaxmine confused beyond belief. Even if they were thought of as smart, with simple situations like this, they were as dumb as a post. No offense to the post, of course.
~Present~
Her song ended in a blur, her only thoughts on which one had been watching her. Secretly she hoped it was Kaoru, for he was her favorite. And you should know what is meant by favorite.
Passing on the mic to Jaxmine, 'Ashley' by Escape the Fate played. Sighing, she waited as the intro played, and she began to sink into the music. Starting off softly she stayed with the tempo of the song, growing louder as she needed, until she was belting it out skillfully, and sounded good.
Mori watched her from a shadow on the second floor, a small smile on his face, barely visible and hidden from the others. When the chorus started he noticed she changed the name 'Ashley' to 'Jaxmine'. He silently chuckled to himself.
Her song was over nearly as fast ass Hezerai's seemed, and she handed the mic to Ketsueki who passed her. Another Escape the Fate song came on, 'It's Just Me'. She laughed, and addressed the girls.
"IT'S NOT MY FAULT MY IPOD ENJOYS THE BEAUTY OF ESCAPE THE FATE. I SWEAR IT." She yelled over the beginning, as the volume had of course been turned.
It was now Kyoya's turn to watch one of the girls in secret interest, a smirk on his face as he watched. As the line "Cut it out of my mouth, put my tongue on a pole. I won't sing anymore, I'm losing control." came around, he noticed her looking directly at him. His smirk faltered for a moment, before replacing it with his usual stoic mask. Even though he was mostly secluded by the shadows he knew she knew they were there, she wasn't top of the class for nothing.
"Seems as though all of our lives got a hell of a lot more interesting for us, no, Miss Reite?"
Kyoya pulled Hikaru and Kaoru away from the railing just as Nusuki grabbed the mic, and 'Picture to Burn' by Taylor Swift started to play.
Hikaru tried to hide his forlorn look from the others, but Kaoru didn't miss it, being his twin brother. A light smile on his face, he patted his back and followed Kyoya out willingly, Mori bringing up the back.
A/N: Now usually I don't put Authors Notes here...but I had to. It seems Kyoya gets the last word a lot, no? xD Lmao sorry felt I had to point that out!
