"lets all play the which one is Hikaru game!" the twins yell, and I look up from my book, "so, can you tell which one of us is Hikaru?"
"well, its hard to say"
"your Identical" the girls exclaim.
"many ladies have tried to tell us apart, but so far, none have succeeded" I stand up.
"please, that's the dumbest game I've ever heard of." I say, now closing my book and Haruhi walks over.
"i have to agree" she adds, and they look at us.
"have you got a problem with it?"
"not at all" I say, "we just don't understand why you're so popular."
"apparently you two don't understand the merits of having twins as members as the host club, so listen up." they say, but instead, I watch tamaki. he's running around with a laptop, looking around. he looks in our direction, and then storms over to the twins.
"Hikaru, kaoru! when I gave you control of the schools website, I did so on one condition, that you take it seriously!" he yells, and they look at him.
"we take our job very seriously, in fact, last night we worked on it till dawn."
"is this what you worked to hard to create?!" he types something, and a video of Haruhi without a shirt pops up, and all of her fans swarm around it. I look over to Haruhi to see that her soul is currently leaving her.
"your imagining things," i hear the twins say, "its obvious that the photo's been altered" i walk over and grab the computer, typing in my name. a picture of me in a maids outfit pops up and i turn to the twins. "ok no more. no more pictures of us without permission you got that? just what do you take us for?"
"well, your our toys, of course. you see, in order to entertain one self in this otherwise boring life, one must find himself stimulating toys" Haruhi walks over, stealing the words from my mouth.
"we are not your toys ok?!"
"you want a toy?" a low voice from behind states, and we all turn around, "toys. toys, if you like toys than you should come visit my black magic club. we have opened a small gift shop that sells black magic items from across the globe. if you visit now ill even throw in a free curse doll, all you have to do is write the name of someone you hate on its back and they're sure to experience, misfortune." he says, and i step behind Haruhi.
"why is he talking to us through a crack in the door, and has that door always been there?" Haruhi asks, and Kyoya walks up.
"Nekozawa senpai doesn't really care for brightly lit places." tamaki comes up behind us with a low voice,
"don't get involved with that guy" i look at him, "if you do, you'll end up being cursed."
"um, do you have any basis for that?" i ask, and he slowly turns to me, "yes, it happened at the end of the last school year. on that faithful day, i accidently stepped on that guys cursed doll, Belzeneff. then, i went to take my exam and the who thing was written in some strange lettering! i looked around to the others for help and realized i knew none of them! i was all alone in another dimension!"
"did that really happen to you?" Haruhi asks.
"that only happened because you were so scared that you walked into the beginning Greek class and took their exam." Kyoya explained, looking annoyed. Tamaki tried to protest, but Kyoya had a reason for that too. i walk over to the twins. kaoru was holding a flashlight. "hey what ya doin?" i ask and they smirk.
"we wanna see how much Nekozawa will like this." Hikaru says, still smirking. i don't say anything and just watch as they shine it Nekozawa's face. he screams and runs back to his door, closing it behind him. tamaki is absolutely horrified.
"how could you do that?! obviously you two don't understand the terror of black magic!" he yells, but the twins just walk past him. he runs over to the corner, giving me an idea. i run to a table, grabbing a pen and paper. the twins pop up behind me, hovering over my shoulder.
~Hikaru's POV~
Kaoru and i watch Homura grab a pen and paper. she starts drawing something and we watch. after a minute or two the drawing becomes clear. a guy, crouching down, hugging his knees. i look at Kaoru. "i think its supposed to be tamaki sulking." he says, and i nod. why would she draw that? she then starts to write something above it. after that she runs over to where tamaki is currently sulking. she pins the picture to the wall, and the rest of the host club looks at it.
Tamaki's Emo Corner
(just imagine a picture of tamaki sulking without color here)
she's a pretty good drawer.
~Homura's POV~
i turn around to see the whole gang looking at it. the twins burst into laughter, Kyoya writes something in his book, tamaki continues to sulk, Honey and Mori compliment my drawing, and Haruhi gives me a look. i laugh with the twins, and then realize something. "hey, about earlier. is it true that nobody's ever beaten the 'which one is Hikaru game'?" i ask, and they look at me.
"yeah."
"do you mind if i play?"
"sure, you can play, but probably wont win."
"yes i will. i know i will."
"you seem confident about that," Hikaru says. and then they both smirk.
"how about, if you lose, your penalty will your house." kaoru adds, and now Haruhi walks over.
"wait, you've already been to our house!" she says. they are about to say something but i interrupt.
"its ok Haruhi. it doesn't matter anyways." i say and she smiles. the twins just put on their hats and move around. they stop in front of me.
"so, which of us is Kaoru, and which of us is Hikaru?!" they say, smiling. i would answer, but right then the image pops up in my head.
~flashback~
a pair of twins, sitting on a bench in the park. they're holding hands and its snowing. im standing in front of them.
"hey do you wanna build a snowman with me?"
"which one of us are you talking to?"
"to both of you, silly."
"there's nobody here named both of you."
"ok, than im talking to Hikaru and Kaoru."
"oh really? which of us Kaoru, and which of us Hikaru? can you tell?
~flashback end~
"Homura? hey are you ok?" i hear and i look up, realizing i was on the ground and had been holding my head. i move my hands slowly, and than nod my head. Haruhi is crouching next to me. i smile and then point to Kaoru since they haven't taken off their hats. "this ones Kaoru, and this one," i point to Hikaru, "is Hikaru" they smile, as i stand up.
"you guessed wrong." they say. i look at Haruhi, then back to them.
"no, i know im right. you two may look alike, but your very different." they blink, surprised. a couple of the girls come over.
"how did you do that? whenever they wear those hats to cover their hair partings, its practically impossible to tell them apart."
"well, Haruhi, you wanna explain this to them since you can tell them apart too?" the girls look at her.
"you can too?!" she nods.
"yeah, you see, Hikaru's speech and actions make him come across a little more mischievous than Kaoru." i hear Kaoru laughing so i turn around.
"i dont see whats so funny, im honest, i speak my mind and i dont hold back. its sneaky people like Kaoru who are the trouble makers." Hikaru says, and kaoru snaps up.
"dont turn this on me, after all, im the one who's always going along with all of your selfish games."
"i may suggest them Koaru, but you the one who really gets into them Kaoru. if you hate it so much than why dont you just stop?!"
"because id hate to see you make an ass of yourself in front of everyone. it was your idea to call the girls our toys, but i noticed you were quik to make a pass at Homura. admit it Hikaru, your actually in love with her, aren't you?!" kaoru snaps.
i feel my cheeks get hot, but try to ignore it, "hold on, did i miss something here?" nobody really answer me.
"you've got it all wrong Kaoru! why would i fall for her, she looks like a tanuki!" Hikaru says, and i glare at him.
"hey, excuse me?! what is that supposed to mean huh?!" i say, pulling him down so that were eye level. he fumbles for words, and i punch his arm. "just because you don't like me doesn't mean you have to insult me!" Renge comes up on her platform. "that was pretty harsh Hikaru, not only that but you were pretty quick to answer. i think you actually do like her!"
"butt-out otaku!" all three of us say and she pouts. i continue to yell at the twins for a minute and then i realize something.
"hold on, Renge what are you doing here anyway, i thought you went back to France?!" she looks at me.
"well, i was going to, but i decided to stay here and get to know Haruhi."
"but i thought you wanted to start a host club in France?"
"i don't think France is ready for a host club."
"THATS IT! WERE OVER!" i hear the twins yell, and i turn around.
"wait...what?"
the next day...
"hey Haruhi, hey Homura!" i look up to see Hikaru with pink hair.
"what... what did you do!?"
"why is your hair pink?" Haruhi asks and he smiles.
"cause pink suits me. don't you think. from now on i'm the pink haired twin." he says happily.
"wait does that mean-" i was answered by a blue haired Kaoru.
"good morning" instead of talking i just wave and put my head down. i have a feeling its gonna be a long day.
a few minutes later...
the twins are throwing everything in sight at each other
in the cafeteria...
the twins are yelling because they are 'copying' each other. "i was wondering what all the fuss was about. i cant believe the two of you are still fighting. your a disgrace to the host club!" tamaki exclaims, the rest of club behind him.
"we've had enough of this! your both to blame for this fight!" honey says, pulling out a cake. they just stare at him blankly. "Hika-chan and Kao-chan i want you to make up and go halfsies on this cake, 'kay?! but i want a piece too, so i guess were gonna have to go thirdsies. oh were not going o be able to split the strawberry on top though. what should we do? maybe i should just take it, i mean, strawberries are my favorite. oh i forgot to ask. Hika-chan, Kao-chan, do you like strawberries?"
Mori walks over, picks him up, and then carries him away. i sit down with Haruhi and we eat our boxed lunch. we normally share one. neither of us eat a lot so its not a big deal for us. Hikaru sits down next to us. "so whats that?" he asks, pointing at it.
"yesterdays leftovers, and a rolled omelet." he looks at his plate, then back at the box.
"you wanna switch with me, i had to order something different than Kaoru so i ended up getting stuff i dont like." they swap lunches and i grab a fork. Haruhi and i both take a bite at the same time, resulting in the same reaction time as well. next, Kaoru comes over.
"hey is that stuff any good, why don't you try this?" he says, holding out a spoon and holding Haruhi's chin. Hikaru leans forward and eats it. next thing i know they're throwing things again. i look at Haruhi, we grab the boxed lunch and go back to our classroom.
club meeting...
"btw girls, i just want you to know that there is no reason for you to feel responsible, even if you were the ones who made the reckless comment." Kyoya says, and i glare at him.
"its weird for Hika-chan and Koa-chan to be fighting like this. its never happened before." Honey states, and i look at them.
"they've never fought before?"
he plays with his bunny as he talks, "ive know the twins since we were in pre-school. we weren't in the same years so, i never really got to talk to them, always played together."
"yeah that's true, i mean I've only known the twins since middle school, but they definitely stood out." tamaki adds, "it seemed like they kept everyone at a difference except each other. believe it or not they were even more warped back then. when you stop and think about it, ,maybe this fight is a good thing for them, maybe it means that the two of them are expanding their horizons a bit. we should just leave it alone and let them work it out."
i stand up, as well as Haruhi. "well, we'll meet you in the club room." we leave the room and i sigh.
"Haruhi?"
"yeah i know, if this really is their first fight, they probably need someone to tell them when its time to stop."
"yeah, and if they have never fought before, would they even know how to make up?"
in the club room...
of course. the twins are throwing stuff again. tamaki is just sitting there, twitching. there is a big pile of everything in the middle of the room, with Honey on top. "dont you think its time to give up all this fighting? its driving me insane." tamaki says, still twitching.
"what you say? its driving you insane?! ugh, you've got to be kidding me, how do you think i feel right now?!" Hikaru yells, i cant help but feel sad. "every time i look in the mirror i see his face. im sick and tired of being mistaken for you kaoru! the truth is, i hate your guts!"
"you took the words right out of my mouth! in fact, i hate you so much i bought this, Belzeneff the curse doll!" Kaoru snaps back, holding the doll. "im gonna complete the curse Hikaru, im gonna write your name on his back! from this day forward you will experience nothing, but misfortune and sorrow!"
Haruhi runs over and punches their heads, causing them to fall. i grab the doll, and then smack them both. "would you guys knock it off!" we both yell in unison. "what do you think your doing, you dont bring something like this into a petty fight!" Haruhi continues.
"both of you are at fault here, but what's really sad is that you've brought everyone else around you into your big mess! now apologize to each other! if you don't make up right now, no only will i never let you come inside to our house, but i wont talk to you ever again!" i finish, and then they smile.
"so then what your saying is that if we make up we can come over to your place?" they say in unison, slowly walking around us. i turn the doll over to see that he didn't write anything. after a minute i realize, and shriek. they high five and start apologizing. Haruhi looks at the doll, and then falls on the floor. i drop the doll and just stand there.
"you've got to be kidding you mean you guys were faking this whole time?!" Honey shrieks.
"we were bored." Haruhi and i exchange glances, they totally fooled us. i walk over to them. when they look at me i punch their arms, and they yelp. "if you ever do that again i will personally rip you into pieces!" i yell and they take a step back. then they start hugging my, rubbing their cheeks on mine. "we're sorry, please forgive us?"
"no"
"pretty please?"
"no, im too mad"
"we promise we wont do it again!"
"no"
"then you leave us no choice." they say, and then Hikaru throws me over his shoulder. i hit his back a couple times but Kaoru grabs my wrists. "no, i wont forgive you!" i say, trying not to give in.
"then face the consequences!" Kaoru says evilly, and then Hikaru starts spinning.
"someone help!" i say, but nobody comes to my rescue. "ok, ok! im sorry and i forgive you!" i yell, and i notice the spinning stop, and he puts me down. i wobble around, trying to find something to balance on. he grabs my shoulder but i still sway. Kaoru puts his hand on my head, trying to keep me in place. even though im not moving anymore, everything still spins. and then everything goes black
