Hey so I'm on spring break now, so hopefully I'll be able to get another chapter out this week because I'm excited for the next few chapter line ups. The next few chapters are like fillers and the story will definitely begin to develop after these chapters. So I hope you enjoy!
Memories of America (Hikaru and Kaoru)
Carissa sat bored in her geography class. Honestly, she could care less, even if now they were learning about America. Brianna was also bored. She knew enough geography, especially her own country's geography. Hikaru and Kaoru threw paper balls at unsuspecting classmates to pass the time while Haruhi was the only one who was actively paying attention and taking notes.
"This is boring." Carissa whined lowly, pouting.
"Fifteen more minutes…" Brianna answered, leaning back in her seat and propping her feet on the desk.
Carissa groaned and let her head hit the desk.
"FML." She groaned.
Finally, fifteen minutes later, the bell rang and the class rushed out.
"Time to go to the host club!" the twins said.
Haruhi and Brianna rolled their eyes and Carissa cheered.
"Finally! Some entertainment!" she cheered, rushing ahead of the group.
.
Carissa groaned as she walked into the kitchen with an empty cart.
"What's wrong with you?" Brianna asked as she began to load up the cart.
"There's, like, no freakin entertainment! Like, no snooty rich girl's tryna pick a fight, no feuding hosts, nothing!"
"And that's supposed to be a bad thing?"
"Yes! I'm bored!"
"Well I am enjoying this peace. We hardly ever get it."
"Ugh!" Carissa threw her hands up in the air and stomped her foot, then grabbed the cart and headed back out.
Brianna snickered and shook her head.
.
The host club was finally finished and everyone was cleaning up.
"Ugh! This is so boring! Let's do something else." Carissa complained, flopping onto the couch.
The other's stopped cleaning and regarded her curiously.
"Like what?" Tamaki asked.
Carissa shrugged, not really knowing the answer to the question. Brianna sighed and shook her head, rolling her eyes.
"Just ignore her." Carissa huffed and crossed her arms over her chest, until a thought struck her.
"Hey you guys…since you're rich and all, have you ever visited America?" Carissa asked as she lay sprawled across the couch.
The others stopped what they were doing and looked at her curiously, nodding their heads in answer to her question.
"What are some of your memories? Like the ones that stand out first?"
Surprisingly, it was the twins who answered first.
"Well…" they sat down on the opposite couch, while the others sat around the room, "There is this one memory we have…"
"Well? What is it?" Carissa asked eagerly.
"We were seven at the time…our mom had taken us to New York for fashion week and there we met a girl…"
"A girl?" Carissa asked curiously.
"Well, we should probably talk about what led us to meeting her first,"
Eight Years Ago…
(A/N: from this point, if there is text in italics it means the twins are narrating the story or one of the other hosts are talking)
Hikaru and Kaoru sat in their hotel room, bored as they waited for their mother to return from the fashion show.
"This is boring." Hikaru complained, throwing down his game.
Kaoru looked up from his drawing and nodded his head.
"Mom's going to be out all day, helping to prepare for the fashion show, so we're stuck here in this boring hotel room until she comes back." Kaoru said.
Hikaru smiled mischievously, an idea forming in his head.
"So…why don't we leave?" Kaoru nodded his head, agreeing with his brother.
"Yeah! Let's go!" they quickly put on some clothes and opened the door.
Looking around, they noticed that the guards stationed in front of their door were gone.
"Probably thought two seven year olds wouldn't leave their room." Hikaru said as he closed the door and began making his way towards the elevator.
Once down stairs, the two quickly walked behind a woman yelling into her phone, making it look like they were her kids so the doorman wouldn't question why two kids would be out exploring on their own.
Once outside, the two quickly dashed away and paused about a block from the hotel.
"What should we do?" Kaoru asked as he looked around.
Hikaru shrugged as he looked around.
"Let's just explore."
"We wandered around until the afternoon came and we got hungry. After we ate, we got bored of the area we were in and wanted to see more."
"Let's take the train to Brooklyn!" Kaoru suggested as they stood on the trains platform.
Hikaru agreed and the two waited for the train to show up. Once it did, they quickly hopped on and rode the train all the way to Brooklyn. Once their stop was announced, the two hopped off the train and ran up the steps and onto the street.
"Those trains were gross." Kaoru complained.
"I agree." Hikaru stated.
"We walked around until it began to get dark."
"Hey…Hikaru…I think we should head back. It's starting to get dark and I'm hungry." Kaoru stated.
Hikaru nodded in agreement and began to turn back around, when he paused.
"Do you remember the way we came from?" Kaoru shook his head 'no'.
"Great…ok, let's just head back from the way we came." Hikaru said, turning around and marching back the way they came.
The two wandered, making random turns, watching as the scenery began to change from pleasant to dirty and dangerous.
"I don't think we should have made that last turn." Kaoru said, as he looked around.
"We're fine!" Hikaru reassured, although he silently agreed with his brother.
"But—ah!" just as they had turned a corner, Kaoru bumped into a man and was sent onto the floor.
"Hey! Watch were you're going!" Hikaru yelled as he helped his brother to his feet.
"Why you little!" the man growled, raising his arm and swinging his beer bottle at the two.
He missed, as the twins had ducked. Sticking their tongues out, the two ran off.
The twins laughed as they heard the man curse. Turning their heads to look back, they stopped laughing when they saw he was following them.
The two sped up and tried to lose him by dashing into an alleyway, but found that they had only trapped themselves when they were met with a dead end.
"Now I've got you, you little brats!" the man hissed, walking up to them.
The twins backed up until they hit the wall, shaking in fear as the man walked towards them. They huddled together and shrunk down, watching as the man raised his hand, the bottle gleaming in the moonlight.
"That's when it happened. That's when we met her."
Out of nowhere, a girl appeared, slamming her foot into the man's face. The man howled holding his bleeding nose.
"Run!" the girl yelled, and the twins followed after her quickly.
They ran for a little bit, until the girl stopped running and looked around. Once she had made sure the coast was clear, she turned to face the twins.
The twins finally got a chance to really look at her and noticed that she had a light tan skin tone, blonde hair and blue eyes.
"You shouldn't be here. This is not an area for kids like you." The girl stated.
Hikaru and Kaoru blushed. "We-we're not kids! Besides! The same thing could be said to you!"
The girl merely eyed them before turning and beginning to walk away.
"He-hey! Wait! Where are you going!?" Hikaru yelled, as he and Kaoru chased after the girl.
"Home."
"But you can't just leave us here!" the girl stopped walking and turned her head to look at them.
"Don't you guys have to go home or something?"
Kaoru opened his mouth to answer, but was stopped by his and his brothers stomachs growling. The two blushed as the girl raised a brow at them.
"Follow me." the girl sighed, beginning to walk.
The twins quickly followed behind her. They walked for a few minutes until they came across a small store. Walking in, the girl immediately headed to the cashier.
"Dos sándwiches de pavo y queso y tres té helado por favor."
"Seguro niña."
The man walked off and a few minutes later, returned with a brown paper bag and three iced tea drinks.
"Cuánto?"
"Veintitrés cincuenta." The girl handed him the money and grabbed the food, leading the twins outside.
Once outside, she opened up the brown bag and handed the two their sandwiches and their ice tea. The twins scrunched up their noses at the food and were about to complain when their stomachs growled again. Deciding to suck it up, they took a bite of their food, deciding that while it was different from what they normally ate, it was not that bad.
"So, what are you two even doing out here? From your clothes, I can tell you're not from around here." The girl asked, taking a sip from her drink.
The two told her how they ended up here and once they were done, the girl began to talk.
"So basically…you two got bored and are now lost."
The twins nodded.
"Do you at least know the name of the hotel you're staying in?"
The twins shook their head no.
"Wow. That's just great. Good luck getting back." The girl stood up and began to walk away.
"Wait! You can't just leave! You have to help us!" the twins yelled, chasing after her.
"No thanks."
"You have too!"
The girl snorted. "I don't have to do anything for you."
"But! But!"
The girl spun around and glared at them.
"Look. Just beat it already. I don't have any more time to waste on spoiled brats who don't even know how to say 'please' when asking for help." The girl turned around again and was about to storm off, when she was stopped by the twins, who had reached out and grabbed her shirt.
Turning her head, ready to yell again, she stopped when she saw their faces.
"P-p-please help us…" the girl sighed.
"I'll take you to the nearest police station. That's it." The twins nodded and began to follow her.
They walked for another twenty minutes before they finally came across a police station. Stopping about a block away, the girl turned towards them.
"Listen up. When they ask how you got here, don't say anything about me. Leave me out of the story."
"Why?"
"Just do it!" she hissed and the twins nodded.
She nodded her head and pushed the two forward.
"Now hurry up so you can go home." The two nodded and began to walk away, but paused and turned back around.
"Hey, wait! What's your na—?" they wanted to ask her for her name, but when they turned around, she was already gone.
Eight Years Later
"So that's what happened." The twins said, finishing their story.
"How did you get back to the hotel?" Tamaki asked.
"We described it to the police, and a few of the stores and stuff around it. Luckily, one of the cops knew which hotel we were talking about."
"Did you ever tell the police about the girl?" Haruhi asked.
"No. We've never told anyone about her, until now."
The others began to talk, but no one noticed that throughout the entire story, Brianna had gotten extremely tense and was now, completely silent.
"Well…what about the rest of you? Any interesting stories?" Carissa asked.
"It's getting late." Brianna cut in, getting up from her seat and gathering her stuff. "Let's go, Carissa." Without waiting, Brianna walked out.
"Hey! Wait up!" Carissa yelled, scrambling up off of the couch and running after the girl.
The hosts looked at each other, wondering about Brianna's odd behavior.
.
"Hey! Brianna, wait up!" Carissa yelled, chasing after the girl.
Brianna paused, waiting for Carissa to catch up.
"What the hell was that all about?" Carissa asked, once she had finally caught up to her and had caught her breath.
Brianna didn't reply right away, seemingly lost in thought.
"Hey, Char…"
"Yeah, Bri?"
"I think they were talking about me…"
"Who?" Carissa asked, raising a brow in question.
"Hikaru and Kaoru…that girl they were talking about…was me." Carissa's mouth dropped open.
"WHAT?! Bu-but! You don't even have blonde hair or blue eyes!"
Brianna glared at her friend.
"Ever heard of hair dye and colored contact lenses?"
"I-but-how?" Brianna sighed.
"I didn't recognize them when we first met, but now…after hearing that story…I know they were talking about me because I remember helping out a pair of twins when I was seven."
Carissa stayed silent for a moment, before she began to squeal.
"Omg! You have to tell them!"
"What?!"
"Hikaru and Kaoru! You have to tell them that the girl is you!"
"No."
"No?! Why not?!"
"I was seven, Carissa. Think about what I was doing, roaming the streets of Brooklyn." She waited as realization dawned on her friend.
"Oh…"
"Exactly. Plus, they'd ask questions. Questions I can't give them answers too." Carissa nodded her head in understanding.
"Still…it's crazy that you actually met the twin's way before high school. You think you met any of the other hosts?"
"Nah. That'd be too much of a coincidence." Brianna said.
The two girls laughed as they walked home.
