Someone asked me something, so I'll just say this now. Things from the last story that weren't really address, but were mentioned, I'm going to get to them in the sequel. If anyone was wondering...anyhoo. Thank you for the follows favorites and reviews. Here you go.
Disclaimer: Neva.
Being the captain isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Of course it's not a position I would dream of volunteering for in a million years, but it's not completely awful. The strangest part about this whole situation is that the boys actually listen to me.
I pulled my bag over my shoulder and headed for the door. "I'll see you guys tomorrow, alright?"
The boys bowed. "Yes captain." Gosh this is beyond weird.
I blinked. "Uh yeah..."
"Kris!" I turned around to Kagura. "Say hi to your host buddies for me."
"Sure thing." I said.
"Oh and Mazaki too." He grinned.
"...um ok?" I closed the door behind me and walked out into the hall. He sure loved messing with her, didn't he? I shook my head. That wasn't the issue right now. What's really important at the moment is our king isn't here. When I walked into home room I noticed that he was absent. I sighed. I remember when I talked to him yesterday. He told me it was just a simple head cold. I guess it was a lot more than that. Knowing him he probably didn't listen to me and was still worrying over the matter with Haruhi.
I opened my phone. I've decided to listen to Kyoya and become more accustom to technology like a normal teenager, but it's hard to keep up with the thing. Just this morning I couldn't find it anywhere. I was about to give up when I found it in Bubbles tank. How that happened I'll never know.
'Maybe there's a friend she wants to talk to? No, spiders use the web.' I paused in the hall before I snorted. Of course it wasn't funny at all, but I couldn't stop myself from laughing. I have a bad sense of humor. I turned toward the stairs and closed my mouth immediately when I saw who it was.
"Oh h-hello Yasuchika..." I said, shuffling my feet. I felt embarrassed for being caught in my giggling fit. My laugh in general makes me look like a maniac. He stared at me with a cross between confused, curious and something I couldn't describe. All in all he was looking at me.
"Hello...Carson." He said, still looking me over. Which was starting to get a little weird. It was as it he was searching for something.
"Kris is just fine." I said with a smile, trying to get ride of the strange atmosphere. I pushed my bag back on my shoulder. "So um..." I glanced at him to see he was wearing his karate gi. "So your headed to your...your club?"
"Yes I'm headed back that way." He said. There was a pause. "You're going to that host club?"
"Yeah..." Gosh why are we so awkward? Well it's more like me, but it's not as if I talk to him. Frankly speaking this is the first real-time I've ever spoken to him by myself. Which looks really bad on my part considering I'm dating his brother. Then again does he even know that's actually whats going on? Come to think of it, we've never even told him that I was a girl.
This is terrible.
But how am I going to tell him that? I glanced up to him. It feels like we've been standing here for hours when in reality it's only been a few minutes. I could just blurt it out now, couldn't I? But how much hope do I have in this plan actually working?
Nonexistent.
We were both silent and I felt a pregnant pause in the air. Why am I so bad at talking to people? He's Mitsukuni brother isn't he? This shouldn't be this hard, right?
Wrong.
Their complete opposites. I sighed. "Well I'd better get going, I'm already late. " I smiled and went to leave.
"Wait." I turned back to him. He looked like he was having a difficult time speaking.
"What is it?" I asked.
He peered up at me. "Do you...I mean are you and my brother..." He trailed off at the end so I couldn't understand him.
I tilted my head. "I'm sorry, what did you say? I couldn't hear you."
He started to turn red. "It's ridiculous, never mind!"
I blinked. "Um alright...bye then." He nodded and quickly walked past me and hurried down the hallway.
I'm confused.
I think that I'm correct to guess that Yasuchika still has no idea that I'm a girl. Which makes me feel kind of disappointed. I realize that he and Mitsukuni aren't the closest brothers in the world, but I just thought maybe that he would have told him. I also still haven't seen his family. Sure he's talked to me about them, but that's about it. I don't want to force it or anything. I'm just trying to make reason.
'But does that mean he doesn't want me to meet his family?' I shook my head. Who knows how long it would have taken me to introduce him to my parents if they hadn't come to Japan. But I was still bothered. Mitsukuni's family lives in this country and probably not that far from the school. You'd think that he would suggest it, but no. He didn't.
I frowned a bit. "Quit thinking about it." I walked up the stairs and down the hall to the third music room. I pinched my cheeks. "No frowns." I whispered. I nodded as I straightened myself up and opened the door. "Sorry that I'm late guys I-"
"Tamaki's sick?!" I winced at the sudden yelling. The girls seemed to be in a panic. I slowly closed the door behind me. The rest of the host gang was standing in the middle of the floor with the girls scattered around them. I glanced over hoping that Mitsukuni and Mori were there, but alas they weren't. I sighed inwardly. Oh well you can't expect them to come ever day. I walked over to the commotion.
"Yes it seems as though he's had a high fever since last night and couldn't get up." Kyoya said. "This is a text message I received earlier."
The twins took the phone."Oh no!" They said.
"What?" I asked, looking over Hikaru's shoulder.
"He spelled everything wrong and even messed up the emoticon." Kaoru said.
"We'd better keep this as future evidence." Hikaru said as they nodded in agreement. My eye twitched.
"Guys calm down people catch colds every once in a while." Haruhi tried to reason.
"Not Tamaki." A girl said. We turned to her. "He's never had a cavity and has never been sick!" How does she know that? Has she known him all her life?
I raised my brow. "Never?"
"Never." Well then.
"He was acting strange yesterday." Another girl said. "He put thirty spoonfuls of sugar into his tea."
"He was pretty depressed too." Somehow I felt like this was going to be directed toward me. Not that I want to be the center of attention. It's the exact opposite especially in a situation like this. I tried my best to stay out of it. I knew exactly what it was and I wasn't planning on telling the entire room.
I froze when I saw Rin staring at me. I shook my head quickly, but she had already began speaking. "Ah, Kris you talked to him yesterday, right?" A gave her a look and she silently apologized. I slowly turned when I realized the entire room was looking at me and it was as if a spot light dropped down. Now I was the center of attention. Thanks a lot Rin.
I pulled down on my jacket sleeve. "W-Well you see..." I jumped when I saw them all come in closer. "Uhh."
"You don't have to say another word Kris I know exactly what happened." We turned to Renge. How does she know? She wasn't there. Then again this was Renge we're talking about. She defies logic and pops up anywhere she wants. She smiled and pointed at me. "While you two were alone in the classroom together. Tamaki obviously confessed his love to you, but you rejected him! Because of this he's at home unable to bear the pain!"
What.
"No that's not what happened at all." I said staring at her.
She shrugged. "Hm, it would have been a great drama if you did."
"So there is a reason?" Another girl asked.
I sighed and glanced over to Kyoya for help. "Were going to see him today so ladies please don't worry."
That seemed to calm them down. They went and sat down to talk more on Tamaki's fake love confession. Gosh the things Renge comes up with. I went and sat down as the other host came around.
"So what really happened?" The twins asked. They came to either side of me.
I dropped my gaze to the floor. "Nothing much we just talked...about life, you know?" They glanced at me then to each other. Neither one looked like they believed me. I was thankful when I heard my phone beeping.
"So your finally using the phone we gave you?" They asked. I nodded. "We don't need to ask why."
I blushed. "T-That's..." I couldn't think of anything to counter with so I opened it and it said: K-chan~ Sorry we couldn't come on time. Afternoon classes ran longer than I thought, but were coming right now! So don't go anywhere!
I smiled and looked back up at them. "Mitsukuni and Mori are on their way over here now."
"That's good." Kaoru said
"They can just follow us." Hikaru said. He glanced over to Rin. "You can come...if you want." She blinked. "I mean no one is forcing you if you-"
"No, I'll come." She said, lifting her glasses."I mean I want to see how he's doing. He must be in bad shape if he didn't come to school."
I glanced over to Kaoru. It seemed like he was thinking the same thing because he was looking at me.
'Progress?'
It was awkwardly quiet so I turned to Rin. "Have you seen my sisters at all today?" Rin had started to become good friends with them and I didn't see them during lunch or this morning.
She nodded. "I think I saw Stephanie in the hallway she seemed kind of angry."
I blinked. "Angry?" Why would she be mad? Were they causing trouble already? No, probably not. I would have heard about it. I usually do.
I sighed. "Well what ever it is. If it's bad I'll probably be hearing about it tomorrow."
I hope they don't cause to much trouble.
*Break*
Stephanie and Ana were angry, no, they were beyond angry they were infuriated. Both had been good and ready yesterday to join the karate club, but they were shut down before even saying a word. They walked past giggling girls outside and knocked on the door. A boy came to the door. "Who is it..." He looked down at them and rolled his eyes. "Oh it's you two."
Ana glared. "Yeah it's us."
"Look I told you guys yesterday that we don't have open practices."
"We're not here to watch, idiot! We want to join!" She yelled.
"Hm?" He grinned. "What did you say?"
"She said we want join." Stephanie said stepping forward. "Do you want me to repeat it again?"
He looked her up and down. "Look kids I know you want to be big and tough, but it's a hard world out there. So let the men handle the fights, alright?"
"How would you know if it was a hard world?" Ana countered. "You go to a freakin' pink candy castle of a school! Your rich you don't know what life is!"
"Aw look princess is getting angry? Maybe you two should go home, this isn't the place for you."
"And I believe blocking the door way isn't the place for you." Stephanie said. She was trying her very hardest to be nice, but it was getting more and more difficult by the second. "Move or be moved."
He furrowed his brow. "Hey look you-"
Suddenly another boy came to the door. "Hey it's noisy out here. What are you doing out here?"
"Oh these little girls just wanted to play. I told them not right now."
Ana lit up. "Little girls?! You-you! That's it I'm gonna kick your-"
"Ana calm down." Stephanie said though she was glaring. "He's not worth your tantrum." She turned around to see a familiar boy walking down the hallway. "Isn't that your friend?"
She turned to her with a frown. "What?" She looked past her sister. "Chika!" She ran over to him.
He raised his brow at her. "What are you doing here?"
She ignored his question. "I didn't know you were in the karate club. Hey, maybe you can help us!"
"Help you?" He said. She nodded. He walked over to the door and saw the girls sister with two boys standing in front of the door. "What seems to be the problem here?" The boys stiffened at the sight of him. Which made her wonder if he was really that strong. She glanced down and saw that he had a third degree black belt.
"N-Nothing much captain." The twins paused and both turned to him slowly.
"You're the captain?" They said, ignoring the fact they spoke in unison.
"Yes I am." Chika said.
"Then what's this dude doing blocking the doorway!" Ana yelled.
"Look I told you-"
Stephanie put a hand up. "You're not the authorities here. So please silence yourself." He glared and she turned to Chika. "Since you are the captain here. I will bring my complaint to you."
"Complaint, what is it?" He asked.
"We came here yesterday wanting only to join the club, but the door was shut in our faces. We've come back today to ask if we can join." She says.
Chika stared at them. "You two want to join the karate club?"
Ana nodded. "Uh yeah. I don't understand why this is such a huge problem for everyone."
The other boy snorted. "Well first off-"
"Quiet you." She snapped. She turned back to Chika. "This is the karate club, not only boys, not only girls, but a club. It's not our fault that these girls don't want to learn martial arts. Besides article fourteen of the Japanese Constitution guarantees equality of the sexes.(A/N:It's true I looked it up!)"
Stephanie crossed her arms. "We may not be Japanese, but we're in Japan now looking for the same opportunities as everyone else."
Chika looked back and forth between the two of them before sighing. "Alright then. Be ready to practice tomorrow we're almost finished today-" He was stopped when Ana suddenly jumped him.
"Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you!" She said jumped up and down."We won't disappoint, I promise!"
He pried her off and pushed up his glasses. "Y-Yeah, yeah, just get off me."
"Sure." She smiled.
"Captain you can't be serious they-"
Chika turned to the boy and he closed his mouth immediately. "Are you questioning my decision?"
"N-No sir."
"Good." He said. "Go and tell the others that I want two hundred push-ups from them before they leave today."
"Y-Yes sir." They hurried into away and he turned back to the girls.
"Be ready for tomorrow. If your really serious about this. I won't tolerate slacking off no matter if your girls."
"There's no need to worry about that." Stephanie said. "Rest assured you won't have any problem from us in that area."
He looked at us then nodded. "Fine." He turned to the door then paused glancing back at us. "Theres something I..." He paused. "Never mind. Just go and be on time tomorrow."
They blinked. "Alright." They turned to leave.
"See ya Chika!" Ana said. He waved her off and went inside. She smiled. "I guess he does like me."
Stephanie rolled her eyes. "Yes, strange I know."
"Hey!"
*Break*
I looked up at the mansion in front of me. "Wow his house is big." I mumbled. I don't see how I forget that Tamaki and the rest Ouran live in money.
"If you think this is big you should come to our house." Hikaru said.
"Yeah, how about this weekend?" Kaoru suggested.
"Guys you can't force her to go." Haruhi said.
"You can come too Haruhi." They said.
"No." She said.
"Aw, come on."
"I said no."
I shook my head. Someone jumped on my back. "So Tama-chan is sick?" I glanced to Mitsukuni and nodded. "Well let's go see him!" We all walked inside and I have to say that this is a very pleasant place to live. When we got up stairs I saw him laying down on the bed and he honestly looked miserable.
"Boss we're here to visit." The twins said.
He sat up with teary eyes. "You guys came."
"Of course we did, Tama-chan." Mitsukuni said, dropping down and walking over to him. My eyes peered around the room. It was so nice and I was actually a bit jealous. Of course I've stayed in a nice guest room at Kyoya private beach, but it wasn't my own.
"Hey look at this." Hikaru said. He picked up what looked like a scrap-book off the table.
"Commoners food volume three?" Kaoru started to laugh. I smiled looking over his shoulder.
"Aw look he wrote down what he thought of it and what day he ate it." Mitsukuni said
I walked around the room and saw Haruhi, Mori and Rin standing in front of a glass case.
"What's this?" There were shelves of miniature action figures?
"Tiny toys?" Rin asked. "Commoner gifts, I think."
I glanced over to Mori he was holding one in his hands, but I couldn't tell what it was. I tilted my head. He could tell that I was curious. He put the toy into my hand. I blinked. It was a small robot. Cute.
I turned when I heard the twins whispering. "Maybe they have a fetish for small things." I blushed and quickly put the figure back into Mori's hands.
"Um you guys?" Tamaki called in a fevered tone. Probably because we weren't paying attention to him. Even though he's the reason we're here.
"Ah this!" Haruhi seemed excited. I walked over to the glass tank in front of her. It looked like a designer Barbie home...why does Tamaki own this?
"You know what that is Haruhi?" He asked.
"Yup I use to collect the Mika-chan home series. Oh wow, a reissue edition."
I jumped back when Tamaki suddenly got up and bursts toward the cabinet, opening it and poring all of the set into a box. He pushed it in front of her. "Here, I'll give this to you!"
"Ah it's alright it only brought back memories...I don't really do that now..."
"It's for you!" I wasn't sure if he was blushing or the fever was getting to him. Regardless I don't think he should be standing up right now. Though this was interesting to see.
"T-Thanks." Haruhi said, but she looked a bit confused. Their hands touched and he screamed throwing the box at her in the process.
"Hey, what did you do that for?" The twins asked
"It's no use. My head hurts and my heart is pounding." He said, walking to his bed.
"Are you okay?" Mitsukuni asked. "Maybe you should call a doctor."
"No it's alright. I'm just a pervert."
"So you knew?" The twins asked. Tamaki looked at them in shock. "What?" He ran over to his bed in a sulking manner.
"We should be heading out." Kyoya with a sigh.
"Aw, but we just go here." The twins whined.
"He won't get better with us loitering around in his room."
"Fine." They said as we walked out. We began to walk down the stairs and I glanced to the right to see Kaoru walking by himself. I looked back and saw Hikaru talking to Haruhi. He was laughing and Haruhi smiled. Hm. This is new. All this made me peer over at Rin. I saw her staring back at the two. She saw that I caught her and turned around quickly, shuffling down the stairs to walk with Mori and Kyoya. Kaoru was right. Everyone just needs to come to their senses.
I sighed. "K-chan!" Mitsukuni skipped up beside me. I smiled, but then it slowly fell. Why do I keep thinking about that? It's no big deal that he doesn't want me to meet his family right now. It's not. Nope. No problem...
Liar.
I even suck at lying to myself. I glanced up to the rest of the gang. They were leaving. Hikaru walked on ahead, but I didn't see Haruhi. I looked behind me and she wasn't there. Maybe I missed her going by? "We should get going." I said quickly. I turned to go ahead, but I was stopped when he grabbed my hand.
"What's wrong?" He asked. I shuffled trying to subtly take my hand away.
"I-It's nothing. We should-"
"No." I glanced down to him. "Not until you tell me what's bothering you."
"...their leaving."
"It's fine." He assured. "Tell me, please?" He was doing it again.
I looked away. "S-Stop making that face."
"What face?" He asked innocently. But I could tell he knew what I meant.
"You know what you're doing." I mumbled.
"I'm not sure what you mean K-chan." He said, lightly swinging my hand with his. "So will you tell me. Pretty please with a strawberry on top~"
"Alright." I muttered. Why does he always do that? "Well um...w-why haven't you." I sighed. "Why haven't you ever taken me to your house." He stared at me with an expression I couldn't describe. I was trying to figure out what the problem was until I realized how it sounded. "N-No! I mean to see your family!"
"My family?" He tilted his head.
I nodded twisting my hair. "I saw your brother today and I realized he thought I was boy and it was awkward...I just thought since you've met my parents I-I could met yours." I mumbled. "But you haven't said anything I just thought you didn't want me to." I looked at him after all my rambling.
"You want to meet my family?" He asked slowly.
"I-If you don't want me to I-"
"No, no that's not it, K-chan!" He said. "I just didn't know that's what you wanted so I was surprised. I haven't brought it up before because I was waiting for you to be comfortable with it. I have thought about it before, really."
"You have?"
He nodded. "And I have tried to talk to my brother about you, but he avoid me and always changes the subject so I've never been able to tell him."
I blinked. "Oh I see...well um..." I wasn't sure what to say now.
He gives a flowery smile. "Hey do want to come over this weekend?"
I stared at him. "Come again?"
"I asked if you want to come to my house this weekend. I'd like to introduce you properly." He said.
What have I just gotten myself into? "I-I maybe it's not the right time. I...um..."
"What is it?" He asked.
"W-Well I was just thinking...w-what if they don't...like someone like me." I fidgeted. "I mean I'm nowhere near ideal or anything a-and-"
"K-chan." I looked at him. He smiled. "I love you, so don't worry about that, kay?"
I blushed. "K-Kay." I paused for a moment."I love-"
I was suddenly interrupted when a small brunette walked in. "I forgot Tamaki's...present." She looked between the two of us. "Sorry for interrupting." Then I saw a few of the maid hurry into the next room. Did they just here...
I turned scarlet red and quickly went for the exit when I heard someone behind me. "Wait K-chan I didn't hear you. What were you going to say? K-chan come back!"
Instead of walking I somehow ended up in a full on run. "So embarrassing."
Well I'm done please review and tell me what you think. I wasn't really sure on this one.
