Mind Games (Ouran High School Host Club) Ch.7

"Then tell me. I'll even do anything you want, if you tell me everything about who you are, Mr. Kinmichi..."

"But-" I whisper pleadingly.

"The more my curiosity grow...of how curious I am of you..." His words echos.

"Stop."

"Tell me..."

"I said stop it!"

"Tell me who you really are Alexander Kinmichi..."

"Stay out of my life!" I shriek, as I woke up with a start. My body trembled, as I cover myself with the bed sheets. Sweat had soaked my nightgown, along with the bed covers. I look down at my trembling hands, as my vision blurs when tears flooded my eyes. I've never felt so defeated since the sudden accident had happen years ago.

I gritted my teeth.

"I'll tell you everything." My uncontrollable words repeated inside my head."After this weekend ends, I'll tell you everything."

I glare up at the ceiling."How dare you mess with my mind, Kyuoya Ootori."

I stayed up for the last three hours, as I watch the dawn break. The light shines through my open window, and crosses my path while creating awestruck shadows on the tile floor. My mind was somewhere else, as the clock struck the next passing hour. Eight O' clock exactly, when sound of my door is being knocked on, and someone and enters my room.

"Good Morning, My Lady." Ann said cheerily. Her curly brown hair bounces each time she hops towards my bed. Her honey colored eyes twinkle with morning joy.

"Morning." I said. Tired as I was, I covered my face with a pillow for some darkness. Also, not wanting Ann to see how sleepless I am.

"Now now, it's Saturday, so no lazily laying in bed all day." Ann said."So out the bed you go!"

I groan.

The sudden force of the sheets being tug away, left me completely exposed of the chilly air. I whine, and muffle something unintelligent into the pillow that is covering my face from the sunlight.

God dammit.

(*)(*)(*)

I eventually took my morning shower, brush my teeth, change into my daily clothes, and drag myself to the kitchen. I yawn. Looking around with no presence of anyone in sight.

"They must be still sleeping." I said to myself.

I open the refrigerator, and had an idea for my breakfast. I simply grab one egg from the fridge, olive oil from the pantry, spices from the cabinets, and toasted Rosemary bread while heating up the frying pan.

Drizzling olive oil on the pan with one hand, and cracking the egg with the other. The sound of a frying egg pleases my ears and mouth. I took out a spatula from the drawer, while sprinkling an All Season spices on top the egg after turning the egg over. Then I peeper the yellow yolk with care, not sensing someone was watching me.

"Your making breakfast?" Sebastian sudden voice startled me. I stumbled back, that had caused me to release my spatula. Sebastian quickly rush forward, and caught it by it's handle before it hits the floor.

I let out a sigh, while holding my heart.

"I apologize for startling you, Mr. Kinmichi." Sebastian said meekly.

Sebastian Augustine is my personal butler. With his dark straight shoulder cropped length hair, and his deep blue eyes, anyone would fall for just his looks. But to me, his talent and what he could show people brought more attention to me more than anything else. That is why I have chosen him, the youngest twenty five year old butler. Even though I've never told him about my secrets, he seems to not have any suspicion about my identity, which makes it even better for me.

I quickly shook my head."It's alright."

The toaster ring, and I immediately took a plate out and put the bread on, then drizzle more olive oil on the Rosemary bread. I was about the grab the egg, but forgot about the spatula. When I turn around to ask Sebastian for my spatula, he was already there behind me. I was taken by surprise at how close he was until he lightly press his shoulder against mine to reach the off switch from the stove. Scoping the egg out of the pan, and place the egg on top of the bread in a way I wanted it.

I felt my heart skipped a beat when he let out a smile in satisfaction.

"Enjoy your meal, master." Sebastian said, bowing halfway, and left without another word.

"What..." I said breathlessly. My heart. felt numb with confusion."What just happen?"

(*)(*)(*)

"I'm busy." I said, not letting my eyes look away from my laptop screen. I fiercely type the keys, while going to multiples of sight. My half eaten breakfast is on the table next to , I plan to search for my birth mother. Wherever she is, she is around this part of city. I've been search through the internet of the city of Tokyo for hour to find, in theory, of the where about of her. And just now, my friend had to interrupt my concentration when she knocks on my bedroom door.

"But you have guests." Ann said suddenly.

"Then tell them to go away."

"But they say they were from the Host Club."

My finger stops typing."You have got to be kidding me."

"You know I never kid, Alex." Ann said.

I sigh."Great."

(*)(*)(*)

"Okay, one question." I ask the Host Club. My arms was cross over my chest with impatience. My desire of wanting to kick them out has been urging me to do so within the last five were all sitting in the living looking around as they waited for me to come downstairs and greet them, even though I've been there watching them for the last five minutes.

"What is it?" Tamaki finally ask.

"Why the hell are you guys here?" I completely barked at them."And how did you find my house?"

"That was two questions." The twins said in boredom.

My eyes twitch in irritation.

"It was Kyouya who showed us." Honey said. Mori-sempai nodded in agreement.

Of course.

I looked over at Kyouya, but he wasn't paying any attention to me. His eyes was fixated on his laptop that he happens to bring with him. His fingers gracefully traces the keys with perfect precises rhythm.

"And we're here to pick you up, my boy." Tamaki said, as he wrapped his around my shoulders."Then, we'll go pick up my daughter, Haruhi, next."

Wait a minute...

"Did you just say, my daughter?" I ask. I knew I've caught him. Realizing what he just said before anyone could catch his the Host members head snapped up at what I just asked. Shocked filled their faces.

"Guess it can't be helped now." Kyouya suddenly broke the awkward silence."Yes, Haruhi Fujioka is a girl. A female in a boys club, and do you have any problem with that?"

"Well no, but-"

"Please don't tell anyone about my daughter!" Tamaki pleaded at once, as he lightly shakes my shoulders.

"Okay I won't, but-"

"Not even the students, because if Haruhi's secret is to be revealed, she won't be able to repay her dept!" Tamaki whines.

"Okay I won't, now will you please shut up and listen to what I have to say?" I snapped at him. I was loosing my patience with his interruptions.

Tamaki cowered away from me.

I sigh. "There's somethings I've wanted to tell everyone."

Kyouya keyboarding suddenly stop.

I look at him meaningfully, and he only responded with a shrug.' I don't care weather you confess now or later', is what he is telling me with his simple shrug.

"I'm really-"

" Going with us." Mori-sempai interrupted. Everyone's eyes look at him in question, even me."Isn't that right?"

"Yeah, that's right, but-"

"Yay, Al-chan will go with us!" Now Honey butted in. Suddenly climbing up my leg and hugs me from behind. I look at him in confusion.

Why do they keep interrupting me? I thought to myself.

"Sure, why not?" I said. I knew Kyouya was also watching my reaction. He must be questioning the same situation I'm thinking about.

"What." Kaoru started to say.

"Ever." Hikaru finishes.

"Let's go then!" Tamaki exclaim."Haruhi must be worried sick about me!"

I watch as Kyouya closes his laptop, and is the first one out the door. The rest took their time, with Honey still clinging on my back. Mori-sempai held the door for us.

"Master Kinmichi."

I turn my attention around to face Sebastian. His worried eyes studied mine in search of something that I don't know of.

"What is it?"

"Let me accompany you on your trip." He said, rather than questioning. I look at him, confuse by his complicated meaning within his words.

"Don't worry, butler Sebastian, I'll protect Al-chan from any harm!" Honey said happily.

My butler look at Honey for moment, as he weigh in his decision."Very well."

"Protect my master from anything that is a danger."

Sebastian words sounded bitter. Like he's want his words to mean something to someone. Sebastian's eyes stared out, thinking that he was just staring into space. Instead, as I follow his gaze, it landed out the front door, where Kyouya was by the car. His eyes also stared back, then it met mine.

The sudden gaze of Kyouya's eyes made me feel like I've been caught. It cause me to look away, and I didn't know why. I caught Sebastian's' eyes on me instantly after Kyouya. Also the same sudden feeling, but less intensity.

"Be careful." He said, lightly smiling.

I nodded."I will."

"Don't worry, Al-chan." Honey suddenly whispers into my ear."Mori and I will protect you, and keep your secret safe."

My body stiffen then. I crane my head to met his chocolate eyes. Honey childlike pupil sparkle like a child who holds forbidden secrets, and would never speak a word of it.

"How-"

"Well explain later." Mori-sempai cut my question off. I look at him, but he only gesture his right hand for us to go on.

While walking out the door with Mori-sempai following us, my mine was spinning with so many questions that needed some answers. Impatient as I am, I knew I had to wait. Even through the car ride that takes us to Haruhi house. Then the picnic all of us had in a public park. Through those long hours, I have to wait to ask the first question on my mind.

How did they find out?
