Chapter 3
'Music Room Three'
This was the place, all right. Kagome almost couldn't believe she was doing this… But then again, she did agree she'd visit those devil twins at their club one day. No one else was in the hallway, since the club had already started, and the doors were wide open- showcasing the goings on inside.
And mere seconds after Kagome stepped foot into the room, the girls not sitting with their desired hosts fell into silence…
Haruhi was walking back to his table after his previous guest left, right by the club doors, when the semi-constant chatter broke… It was quiet for a second, before it started up again, only now in low whispers…
Wait a minute… That whispering…
Haruhi looked over to the doors, finding exactly who he thought he would- the beautiful girl glancing around the club without a care. The honor student sweatdropped, before walking over to her, "Do I even want to know what you're doing here?"
Cerulean blue eyes snapped to him, and Kagome giggled, "Hey, have more faith in me… I came to be your guest."
Brown eyes shot open at that, "Wha-what?"
"Well, you've got a quota of 100 right? I've got nothing better to do while I wait to be able to go home, so I might as well help you get rid of your debt, right?" A smile lit up the miko's face, making a few of the eavesdropping girls blush.
Haruhi stared at Kagome in shock for a few moments, but then, his expression softened- and he smiled. "Thanks, Kagome. I owe you one."
"Nah, besides, this is way better than doing homework."
"You never do the homework."
"I- hey! I do… sometimes."
Hikaru and Kaoru were right in the middle of one of their twincest acts when the background noise suddenly hushed a bit, and a familiar feminine voice was heard chattering about something, followed by the clack of heels on the ground.
They followed their guests' gaze to see Kagome at Haruhi's side, the honor student leading her over to his table, and couldn't hide their shock…
I-it was really her… Kagome Taisho had actually showed up at the Host Club… But wait, why was she sitting with Haruhi?!
Kaoru looked over at his twin, who made eye contact with him, and without a single word spoken, they hopped from their seats, "We'll be back in a minute-" they made quick time over to where Haruhi was, "Kagome! You came!"
The beautiful miko paused mid-step, turning to look over at the twins and smiled at them, "Oh, hi, Kaoru, Hikaru. Yeah, I said I would, didn't I?"
"Well we didn't know how truthful you were," Hikaru began, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
Kaoru did the same to her other side, "Since you brushed us off."
Haruhi sweatdropped- had those two ever heard of personal space? Kagome's eye twitched and she hunched her shoulders, before quickly stepping out from between them. "One, personal space, and two, I said I had to be somewhere."
The twins exchanged a quick glance, and grabbed at her again, "Well, you're here now! Come sit with us!"
Kagome huffed, putting her hands on their cheeks closer to her, making an x-formation with her arms, and shoved them away. "I'm gonna sit with Haruhi! You two can wait! Besides, you have guests!"
"Aww come on, sit with us~!"
"Hikaru, Kaoru," a new voice rang out, making all four of them turn to the source. Cerulean blue eyes landed on a tall, black-haired teen with glasses and a tight smile… Kagome fornwed a bit, was this… It had to be…
The unknown teen, who was most definitely a Host if the miko was right, pushed his glasses up his nose- making the light shine off them. "If I'm not mistaken, you have guests to attend to, and it's rude to leave them alone for too long."
"But Kyoya-senpai," Hikaru began.
"We want Kagome to sit with us," Kaoru finished.
"Then we can make Tono jealous."
Kyoya's eyes flickered down to the beautiful girl, who wasn't comprehending the devil twins scheme at all… the biggest bluest eyes he'd ever seen stared up at him, her soft, rosy lips contorted into a soft pout, and soft brows making a crease between her eyes as she frowned- the only blemish on her soft, ivory skin…
It didn't take a genius to figure out this girl was a beauty…
She almost reminded Kyoya of a perfect porcelain doll…
"Ah, yes, Miss Kagome Taisho." A perfect, swoon worthy smile was plastered on Kyoya's face. He had heard rumors about the 'most beautiful girl in school' who was in Haruhi's and the twins' class… And he had researched her extensively… "It's an honor to meet you. My name is Kyoya Oortori."
A smile pulled at Kagome's face and she bowed politely, "It's nice to meet you, Ootori-senpai." she righted as a bashful blush coated her cheeks, "I hope I'm not causing some sort of disturbance in your club."
"Oh, not at all…" Kyoya fidgeted with his glasses… Oh dear fucking lord…. "I do hope you enjoy your time in our establishment, Taisho-san. You two-" he glared at the Hitachiin twins, who let out a terrified squeak, "Back to work. Taisho-san can come to your table later."
"Sounds good!" Kaoru sent his senpai a grin, him and Hikaru sauntering back to their table, each and every one of their guests staring at Kagome's entrancing form. They erupted into chatter once the twins returned, questioning them about the girl…
"Now, Haruhi-" Kyoya began, making the honor student jump.
"Y-yes, Kyoya-senpai?"
"You make sure all of Taisho-san's needs are met while she's attending our club," the Shadow King of the Host Club smiled down at the younger boy. "I trust you can handle that."
Haruhi gulped… sheesh… Kyoya-senpai was scarry, "Uh, certainly, senpai." He looked over at his friend, "Come on, Kagome."
"Alright!" Kagome trotted off after the honor student but waved over her shoulder at Kyoya with a smile, "It was nice meeting you, Ootori-senpai!"
And if Kyoya's cheeks turned the faintest shade of pink, he'd deny it until the day he died.
"Hikaru, Kaoru," one of their customers, Yuu, said once they sat back down. She glanced over her shoulder once more to where Haruhi was now leading Kagome away, and blushing lightly, before turning back around, "W-who's she?"
"Oh, you mean Kagome?" Hikaru slouched back in his chair, throwing an arm over the back. "She's in our class. Kaoru sits behind her."
"Really?!" the girl's eyes sparkled, just as the two other guests at the twins table squeal. "Wow, I wish I could sit next to her! She's so pretty!"
"I wonder how she gets her skin so smooth," the second guest, a girl named Tomomi, muttered to Yuu. "I wish I was as pretty as she was…"
The third guest at the twins table, a second year named Kozune, sighed dreamily, "Yeah, she's almost like a doll…"
"Mhm!"
Hikaru and Kaoru both sweatdropped at their guests' behavior…
Kagome smoothed down her skirt as Haruhi pushed in her chair, and the miko giggled, "You've become quite the gentleman, Haruhi."
"Gee, thanks," the honor student muttered, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Though it's not like I had a choice, Tamaki-senpai's been trying to drill it into my head for the last day and a half."
Tamaki? Kagome tilted her head to the side, "Who's that?"
Right… Haruhi deadpanned, she hadn't had the… pleasure of meeting Tamaki yet. A light bulb went off over the honor student's head as he hit his fist into his open palm, "That's right! I'll be right back, Kagome."
The miko blinked as she watched Haruhi walk off, a question mark hanging above her head. But then, Kagome shrugged, and looked around at the happenings of the club…
Tamaki Souh knew how to charm a lady… He prided himself on knowing how to make women happy, and he took great pride in being the most requested Host in the Host Club. There hadn't been a woman yet who hadn't fallen for his charms…
The four girls gathered around him chatted happily about their days so far, drinking tea and enjoying themselves. But then, a flash of stunning bright blue caught Tamaki's attention, and his gaze immediately snapped to Haruhi's table…
And sitting at that table was a woman who could only be described as stunning…
She was looking around the clue with an almost child-like nativity, patiently waiting for Haruhi to return, big cerulean blue eyes scanning the room. They landed on Tamaki's form, and she smiled at him, making the Host Club King freeze…
O-oh… His eyes grew wide… H-how had he not known there was someone like that attending Ouran?! Who was responsible for this tragedy! Tamaki immediately stood, catching his guests' attention.
A red-headed girl in her third year, Princess Ayanokoji, looked up from her tea-cup, "Tamaki-sama? Just whatever are you doing?"
"Oh, I'll be back in a moment, my dear. T-there's something I need to take care of, that's all," Tamaki sent her a dazzling smile, temporarily keeping Ayanokoji quiet while making his other guests swoon.
The blond 'king' swiftly made his way over-towards Kagome, bowing in a princely manner once he reached her table, "Greetings, my dear." He righted himself, smiling at the woman. "I don't believe I've ever seen you in the Host Club before."
"Uh…" big blue eyes blinked up at him in confusion. "Y-yeah… I came to visit Haruhi."
"Ah, you've taken an interest in our Natural Type then, I see!"
"No, I just came to see my friend."
An imaginary arrow shot through Tamaki's heart, how could this be?! With the other girls, Haruhi was doing such a good job charming them! The blond 'king' smiled then, reaching out to pick up Kagome's hand resting on the table, placing a kiss on the back of it, "Then perhaps you'd like to request my services, Princess~ I'd be honored to have such a beautiful maiden grace me with her presence."
A dark blush coated Kagome's cheeks, wh-what?! She pulled her hand away quickly, surrying to the side of her chair, "I-I…"
Tamaki couldn't help but squeal at her behavior, "Oh, you're so cute~~!"
Kagome's blush darkened at that…
Never was Takashi Morinozuka relaxed…
He was always on edge, ready for a fight, ready for battle…
Which is why he heard her squeaks of terror instantly.
Takashi stood easily, catching Mitsukuni's attention, "Takashi?" the blond boy internally recoiled, lord, he hated how that sounded. "Is something wrong?"
"Yeah," the stoic senior nodded, glancing down at him for a second. "I'll be back."
"Come back soon, Mori!" One of their guests chanted, but Takashi didn't even look back, already walking away. The guest slouched in her seat, Mori was so hard to get a read on… he was silent, stoic, strong, handsome, and impossible to understand.
There was a reason why he was known under two names in the Host Club, one based on his strong and silent demeanor, and the other… based solely on the fact you'd never know how he'd react- he was the wild card of the Host Club.
Mitsukuni, holding a plate filled with carrot cake, smiled, "Don't worry, Hana-chan! Takashi's just gotta take care of something!"
"I-if you say so, Honey."
Haruhi sweatdropped the minute he came back to his table…
The honor student held an ornate tray in his hands, filled with a large slice of carrot cake, a plate full of sugar cookies, and a tea set. Haruhi knew by now that Kagome couldn't take a complement for the life of her, and sighed, setting the tray down on the table, "Tamaki-senpai. Leave Kagome alone. You're freaking her out."
"Oh, come now, little piglet! I'm only trying to make your friend feel welcome!" Tamaki came around the back of Kagome's chair, placing one hand on her shoulder, and the other under her chin- lifting her head to look at him as he bent down. "Isn't that right?"
"A-ack!" Kagome slapped Tamaki clear across the face, sending him stumbling away from her. The blond 'king' took multiple steps backwards, rubbing his aching cheek with a noticeable hand-print mark on it.
The guests watching from his table gasped loudly, Ayanokoji tightening her grip on her tea-cup. Haruhi sighed deeply, "I tried to tell you, Senpai."
Kagome sat on her knees backwards in the chair, her hands gripping the top of the back as she kept Tamaki in her line of sight; yet still hiding behind the back of the chair… She wasn't letting that creep out of her sight!
"Y-you… hit me…" the words came out a whisper, as if Tamaki himself didn't even believe what was happening. But then, he rose back up as if it never even happened, taking a step towards her once again, smiling widely. "Well, we've certainly never had someone like you in our club before, Kagome-san!"
"Stay away, you creep!" Kagome pointed at him angrily.
Another imagery arrow struck Tamaki through the heart, making him fall to a heap of limbs on the ground. The blond 'king' twitched, "So mean…" he sat up, tears in his eyes. "How could you say something like that?!"
"Cause you're a prev! That's why!"
Tamaki gasped dramatically, arms flapping as he stood, "How dare you! I'm no such thing!" He struck a princely pose. "I'm what every woman dreams of in a man!"
Kagome scoffed, "More like in their nightmares!"
Haruhi sighed, another sweatdrop forming… Okay, maybe Kagome being here wasn't such a good idea…
Tamaki bent down close to Kagome's face, once again trying to show her his princely charms, reaching out to grab her jaw. The miko squeaked, trying to pull away, only for Tamaki to be yanked backwards forcefully.
The blond 'king' blinked, feeling the grip on the back of his blazer, and his eyes widened when he laid eyes on his fellow club member, "M-mori-senpai?!"
Dark gray eyes flickered down to Tamaki's form, a glare in them that rivaled Kyoya's when angered. The blond gulped nervously, w-who pissed him off?! Shadows covered Takashi's eyes, making him appear even scarier, and Tamaki let out a yelp, "WAH! Scarry!"
Kagome laid eyes on Takashi and gulped… His eyes flickered towards her, going across her form and checking for harm, before the stoic man took a step forward- dragging Tamaki behind him. "What are you doing here?"
"Uh… I-I came to see Haruhi." The miko let out a squeak and shut her eyes tightly, clasping her hands together in a pleading motion. "Please don't be mad!"
Takashi observed her slightly shaking form for a few long moments, then glanced at Haruhi for a few split seconds, and seemed to decide something. Mori raised a hand and rested it on Kagome's head, the miko cracking an eye open at the action, "Be good."
With that, Takashi Morinozuka turned on his heel, dragging a whaling Tamaki behind him.
Kagome breathed a long sigh of relief, slumping into her chair. The eavesdroppers all blinked in shock, before they slowly went back to what they were doing. Haruhi merely looked at his friend as she righted herself in her chair, before sitting down himself. "You never mentioned you knew Mori-senpai."
"Oh! Well, you never asked!"
Haruhi snorted at her nonchalant attitude, before placing the slice of cake in front of her, "Here."
Kagome's eyes immediately turned to stars, "Oh, Haruhi, I love you! You're the best~!"
"Yeah, yeah. Eat your cake."
Kagome… well, she really wasn't sure how she ended up here, if she was being honest. She sat in between Hikaru and Kaoru at their table, the miko joining them like she said she would once her session with Haruhi was over…
But the last thing Kagome expected was to sit in between the twins.
She didn't notice the jealous, yet adoring stares of the customers; however, Kagome was fully aware of the twins… The twincest act was… something, for lack of a better word.
Kagome's cheeks were blooming a dark red as she looked down at her tea, trying to tune out Hikaru's recollection of Kaoru's latest nightmare. The younger twin blushed in embarrassment, staring at his brother with wide eyes, "Hikaru! I thought I told you not to say anything!"
"Oh," Hikaru looked taken aback for a moment. But then he smiled, standing and leaning across Kagome to hook a finger under his twin's chin. "I'm sorry, Kaoru… You were just so cute, I couldn't help myself."
The girls at the table squealed loudly, while Kagome pushed herself further back in her chair, but she was still caught right in the middle of the act… and had a front row seat. S-she just couldn't understand what was so popular about this! Not to mention it was embarrassing!
"It's alright, Hikaru," Kaoru muttered, hooding his eyelids. Two sets of amber eyes then glanced down at Kagome's blushing form and the corners of their lips lifted ever-so-slightly.
Kagome saw the tiny action with her well-trained eye- her entire body suddenly going on edge. Whatever they were planning, she did not like it…
"But," Hikaru pulled away from his twin, placing a hand on Kagome's shoulder closest to him, while the other one grabbed the miko's jaw. He tilted her head so she'd face him instead of her tea, "You're not the only cute one."
Kagome's eyes shot open, cerulean blue eyes staring at Hikaru, only then to flicker away. However, instead of an empty club room, she laid eyes on Kaoru, who had stood and was leaning down on her other side.
The younger twin smirked, placing a hand on Kagome's other shoulder, "I guess I can't be too upset, Hikaru, after all-"
"It's so hard to keep our hands off Kagome."
The guests at the table looked at them in pure shock- n-never before had the twins incorporated one of their guests in their twincest act… B-but if it was Kagome, then… Loud, high-pitched squeals erupted from the table, blushes coating their cheeks; i-it was too much!
Kagome could feel the twins' breaths fanning her face, and she hated it… There was only one person she allowed to touch her… Only one person had full access to her body… Only one person who couldn't keep his hands off her…
Hikaru and Kaoru were not that person…
And in that moment, Kagome reached up, grabbed Hikaru's hand holding her chin and threw it off. She stood, shoving the twins off her body, making them stubble back from the shock. They looked at her, blue eyes blazing with furry.
"How dare you?! How dare you talk about me like-like I'm some fucking toy!" Kagome's hands shook as she slammed them down on the table, the china-set clanking as the guests immediately quieted.
"And don't you dare fucking assume I'd let you two bastards touch me! I-I am not just some easy lay!" Her last words came out choked, tears filling her bright blue eyes, making them turn glassy…
Tears trickled down her cheeks, and right then- Hikaru and Kaoru knew they fucked up.
"K-kagome… I…" Kaoru reached out to her, but she flinched away, making the younger twin recoil in shock… S-she had never flinched away from them before… Even in class, with their bold flirting and teasing, Kagome never flinched away from them…
Cerulean blue eyes stared at the two for a moment longer, before she turned around and bolted right out of the club door…
They had fucked up bad…
