Chapter 4: To Movie Date or Not to Movie Date
"So is Haruhi coming or not?" Sally asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"She'll come soon," Tamaki said. "After all she did promise, and we do need to give her the special outfit we made for this movie tonight."
"You guys should've called her first." a ginger haired boy said in annoyance. "I mean it's bad enough we have to share a theater with that girl Kaoru's obsessed with."
"I didn't know Haru-chan's dad had a car." the small blond boy said as he saw Haruhi getting out of the back seat of a black American made car.
"I didn't either." Tamaki said. "Haruhi! Hey you're right on time! Who's car is that? Is your dad inside? Nevermind! Hikaru and Kaoru grab her!"
Haruhi blinked as she was grabbed and whisked off by the twins. "I'll see you two inside!"
The other hosts all laughed in unison before following them inside.
"What kinda weird ass white people shit?" Marcus asked with a grumble as he locked the car and walked to the theater with China.
Haruhi groaned quietly as she returned to the group wearing a Deadpool costume. She cursed under her breath and tried to walk without stumbling only to run into someone from behind.
"Yo, that you in there tanuki?"
"Yeah…" Haruhi said in annoyance. "My idiot friends put me in this because we're all wearing Deadpool merch...I hate they made me put this on."
"Next time just kick 'em in the nuts." Marcus said with a shrug as he lifted her mask up.
"I'll do that." Haruhi sighed. "Come on let's go inside...I really don't want to sit with them but they want me to...especially since Hikaru's being a pissed off rich bastard about something."
"Oh well don't sit with 'em. Sit up top with me."
"Alright." Haruhi said. "Hey where's Birb-chan?"
"Gettin' popcorn."
"Oh ok." Haruhi said. "She'll catch up with us. Come on the movie is being shown in theater 1."
"Aight, aight. Tanukipool." Marcus snickered.
"Asshole!"
"Marcus," Haruhi said nodding to a seething China. "What's wrong with her?"
"She looks like she's ready to kill someone. Chupacabra, up here!" Marcus waved his sister to the top of the theater. He watched as she stomped up the stairs and plopped in the seat on the other side of him. "What's wrong?"
"Some ginger asshat and bitch baby clerk tried to tell me my ass was too fat!"
"Really?" Haruhi asked. "How rude of them to say that...your butt is cute from what I've seen."
"Thank you!" China grumbled and kicked the seat in front of her.
"Maybe the guy who was out there may be in another theater." Haruhi rolled her eyes at the sight of the hosts in two rows down from them talking quietly to one another.
"I don't care. Lil' boys ain't shit!"
Haruhi shook her head and sighed as she started watching the movie. She blinked a few times when she could've sworn she saw some popcorn being tossed. "The hell?"
"Chupacabra what're you doin'?"
"I see the ginger headed shit!" China snapped as she kept throwing popcorn down the theater.
"Geez...ah soda!" Haruhi moved out of the way and saw the soda hit China. "Are you ok?"
"Got you big assed Cardi B wannabe!"
China gave a furious shriek before she leapt over the two rows and landed on the person who threw the drink. She grabbed him by the back of his head and began slamming it into the floor.
"Ah hell…" Haruhi cried. "We have to stop her...aww man she got a hold of Hikaru!"
"He shouldn't have started it. Let 'em get his ass kicked." Marcus said and snickered when he saw her suplex the boy.
Haruhi watched the fight and sighed in relief when she saw Mori had grabbed China off of Hikaru.
"That's not gonna work."
Haruhi looked back to see China had wrestled free of Mori's grasp, much like an eel and lunged at Hikaru again.
"Wow…" Haruhi said quietly as she saw Security had finally arrived to break up the fight. She groaned. "Damn it...we're all gonna get thrown out."
"No we're not." Marcus said though looked up at the security guard that approached them. "Can I help you?"
"Are you with these troublemakers?"
"Nope, we're on a date." Marcus lied. "Can we get back to the movie now, sir?"
The security guard nodded and went back down to help the other guards carry China out.
"Your sister's going to be mad." Haruhi said with a small laugh.
"She'll get over it. I actually wanted to see this movie too." Marcus said as he reclined backwards.
"Mn...ok." Haruhi laughed as she went back to watching. She knew her friends would probably whine to her about being thrown out later.
Marcus looked over at Haruhi and chuckled before looking back at the screen.
Haruhi looked at him. "What?" she whispered. "What's wrong?"
"Your eyes seem to get wider at every action scene," he whispered back.
"I like em," Haruhi admitted. "I enjoy these types of movies...i've seen Black Panther 7 times."
"I got the uncut version of it back at my house."
"Oh awesome!" Haruhi squealed. "I'd love to see it again...Killmonger's kind of hot."
"So he's your type?"
"What can i say? I think guys with braids are attractive." Haruhi admitted.
Marcus raised an eyebrow and laughed softly. "I'll have to remember that if I ever take my braids out."
"Oh uh...I didn't mean…"
"Hey girlpool and wannabe Killmonger shut up." a guy said from behind them. "I'm trying to enjoy the movie."
Marcus turned around and stood up to his full height. "You got a problem?" he asked with a glare and a snarl.
"Uh…" The guy got up and moved.
"What I thought." Marcus sat back down and offered his popcorn to Haruhi.
"Thanks." Haruhi said. "You sure scared him….hey after this you want to hit up McDonalds?"
"Yeah, I'm sure the Chupacabra is gonna be hungry again."
Haruhi nodded. "Hopefully she's not wrecking things outside." she said quietly.
"She's not. She's waitin' by the car." Marcus held his phone up to show Haruhi the text before he went back to watching the movie.
"That ending sucked," Haruhi grumbled walking with Marcus. "What a way to cheapen a death...predictable movie...At least in Black Panther Killmonger stayed dead...or in Infinity War everyone died...but nooo they brought Deadpool and his girlfriend back...fuck Cable!"
Marcus stared at Haruhi for a moment before laughing as he walked her to the car.
"What? It's true...and I did not appreciate them making Negasonic Teenage Warhead a secondary character." Haruhi said. "I dressed up as her for Halloween a few years ago!"
"You dress up for Halloween?"
"Uh yeah, when you have rich friends that live in a rich neighborhood you know they give out full bars." Haruhi said. "That's the only time those rich bastards come in handy."
Marcus laughed softly. "Well I hope you use me for somethin' other than candy."
"Oh, you're my friend." Haruhi said. "If I need a T'challa to protect this year for Halloween I'll ring you up...I was planning on dressing up as one of the guard chicks from the movies. I even plan on making a spear to carry around."
"Alright Okoye." Marcus walked up to the car to see his sister sitting in front of it. "Ready? We're goin' to McDonalds."
"Finally! Feed me!" China puffed her cheeks out as she walked to the passenger's side.
"It's ok Birb-chan." Haruhi reached into her bag and pulled out a box of candy she had saved for later. "Have some sugar stars. They're endorsed by your cousin."
"Nah, no candy." China grumbled before getting in. "Did you two have fun on your date?"
"It wasn't a date...uh...I don't think." Haruhi said blushing as she got into the car. "Marcus and I just watched the movie with a bad ending...fuck Cable!"
Marcus shook his head and laughed. "I wouldn't call it a date. I didn't kiss her."
"And we only shared some popcorn," Haruhi added. "And nachos...and candy...and oh one of those huge slushy things."
"Gluttons." China snickered.
"What? It was good and we're going to grab a post movie, dinner snack." Haruhi said brightly. "4 mega macs, 10 McNuggets, 5 fries and 3 apple pies...and if the ice cream machine is working maybe 5 McFlurries."
"The only thing that might make it a date is that I know her type now."
"Shh!" Haruhi said. 'Don't make me find an infinity gauntlet and snap my fingers."
"Like you could even lift one."
"I could lift one and then you'd disappear." Haruhi said. "I'd spare Birb-chan because her butt is soft looking."
"It's very soft. So is Crawdad's chest. Babies love it."
Haruhi smiled. "Soft huh?" she asked. "Well guess I'll need to try it out sometime...maybe toss a baby on him."
"Just watch Toot cuddle him."
"Oh that's right…" Haruhi smiled. "Baby Toot! We have to pick him up a happy meal, I'm sure we can give him the toy and eat the food."
"We'll play with him when we drop you off. You stayin' with Unc the whole week?" Marcus asked.
"No just tonight." Haruhi said. "My dad will be home tomorrow and it's our rupaul's drag race night."
"Want a ride home?"
"Don't you got football practice after school tomorrow?"
"Shit, I do."
'I can take the train, it's not a big deal and i can stop at the cafe in school to grab a winter berry pudding."
"Hey, have you ever tried white rose tea?" China asked.
"Yep they serve it in the host club all the time."
"You should try our special homemade blend."
"Bring some by to Music Room 3 tomorrow." Haruhi said. "I can ask my friend Kaoru to brew some since tomorrow is French food day."
"No, no, you need an infuser for this." China said. "Gets it richer than regular brewing."
"Ok bring it by tomorrow." Haruhi said with a smile. "I can try it before the club starts...though it may start late tomorrow since senpai and Sally have band practice."
"Oh well you can spend time with the big ol' bear."
"Pic kee toi."
Haruhi blinked in confusion before hearing her phone chime. She looked down at it and saw a group chat going on. "The hell do they want?" she accidentally turned on the voice chat.
"That Cardi B bitch sat on me!" Hikaru shouted in fury. "She better be lucky I can't hit girls!"
"You can't even hit yo' dick to jerk it jackass!" China shouted.
"You little bitch!" Hikaru screamed. "Why the hell do you have Haruhi's phone!? Did you steal it from her?! You little brat! Give it back!"
"We're in the car with her and you disrespect my sister again she's gonna be the last of your problems." Marcus said with a deep growl.
"Why you-Kaoru give me my phone!"
"Sorry!" Kaoru said. "My brother is a jackass, don't beat him up, he needs to stay alive long enough for the band competition."
"He says one more thing that I hear he's gonna be found upstream."
Haruhi could see Marcus' eyes narrow in the rear view mirror, his light hearted demeanor gone in that instance.
"He'll be good." kaoru promised.
"The dummy shouldn't have picked a fight." Tamaki cried. "And now we're banned from the theater."
"That was your fault idiot." came voice that sounded bored. "You whined about buying the theater."
"Dumbasses." Marcus growled as they turned the corner.
"Haruhi-dear, you're in a car with strangers?"
"They're friends and my godfather's nephew and niece." Haruhi explained. "They're nice people."
"Your godfather?!" Tamaki cried. "You mean that scary old guy was your godfather?!"
"Unc's forty."
"But...your godfather lives in that scary house down the street!" Tamaki cried. "There is a legend that there is a ghost girl that lives there...I've heard singing during the summer! It's haunted!"
'Senpai...that's his daughter." Haruhi grumbled. "And the Sakurai home isn't haunted."
"Sakurai!?" a voice cried. "Haruhi I had no idea you knew of them...I do hope that you stay safe. After all you do have a debt to pay."
"Rich bastards." Haruhi grumbled in annoyance. "Can you guys call me back later? I want to enjoy the rest of my night with my new friends...well actually Birb-chan's my favoritie pet."
"Birb-chan?" Hikaru began laughing. "She does look like the red angry bird!"
"Yeah well I'mma blow up yo spot tomorrow bitch ass ginger!"
Haruhi ended the call before Hikaru could retort back. Shaking her head she groaned quietly. "Sorry about him Birb-chan….he's a jerk sometimes….I don't know if he does it on purpose or likes to hear himself talk."
"Next time he does that he's gonna end up hangin' from a flagpole." Marcus said as he turned into the drive thru.
Haruhi blinked a few times. "We're not going in?" she asked. "Dude! You really don't know how to Micky D it."
"Nah. I wanna get back to Tarou before he goes down for the night." Marcus laughed.
"Big ass teddy bear."
"Want me to beat you with the foam bat again?"
"No. Jackass."
Haruhi laughed. "So you want to go back to take care of your cousin?" she asked. "That's cute but I think since he's a newborn he'll be asleep by the time we get back. Babies do sleep a lot."
"Not Sakurai babies."
"It's almost impossible to put us to sleep for long."
"'Sides," Marcus said. "Babies sleep a lot but not for as long as you think. They sleep in bursts for about two hours or so before they're up again. Why do you think they wake up a lot throughout the night?"
"I just assumed they were being evil…" Haruhi shook her head. "But fine we can eat inside next time."
"You know you wanna play with Toot too." China snickered as she looked over at Haruhi.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Haruhi said innocently.
"Uh-huh. All I know is that I got my phone ready for you two, cause I know y'all gonna be fightin' over him.'
"I won't fight, I'm not a child." Haruhi said simply. "I'll play for three hours then I'll do my homework."
"Oh yeah!" China nudged Marcus. "Crawdaaaad, I wanna stop by the hair store."
"Ain't you got enough hair supplies?"
"I need a converter for my hair dryer."
"Fine." Marcus rolled his eyes and ruffled her hair.
"Why not just get another?" Haruhi asked. "Or you could have mine."
"What's the point of buyin' another when I have one that works perfectly fine?" China asked. "I just need a converter."
Haruhi nodded. "So you're passionate about hairstyling?" she asked. "At Ouran there is a guy in Class 1-B who has a secret salon that operates out of his dorm room….then again Sergei tends to hide a lot from everyone."
"I do hair and make wigs. If you ever want that crop tamed I can make it happen." China smiled. She pointed to Marcus's braids. "I did those before we left NoLa."
"I'll keep that in mind and you did? That's impressive." Haruhi laughed. "You should hang out with Sergei though...he needs another stylist since my friend Kaoru chose to be a chef instead. I'm surprised you guys haven't paid attention to the social media page our school has. It has a directory of a lot of people who use their talents for productive means and also who to avoid...like the animal rights club are a crazy bunch."
"Why the fuck would we do that? We don't plan on fuckin' with a lot of people there." China said with a shrug. "No time for snooty assholes. Especially pampered pooch kids."
"Not everyone's bad." Haruhi said. "A lot of kids there aren't pampered pooch kids, they're rather nice and normal...and I hope you guys don't hide in the closet like other transfer students."
"This is a no R. Kelly zone here."
"Maybe you guys could pull them out?" Haruhi asked. "They started some club up called New Wakanda and they basically hold meetings about actually turning a classroom into their own little copy of Shuri's lab….just without Vibranium...I dunno...but they tend to keep to themselves since apparently some blonde idiot scared them so badly that they decided not to deal with him...wonder who that kid was."
"Probably the same fuck that knocked over my Harley."
"You ran into him?" Haruhi asked. "Oh man who is it? Maybe I can ask my friends to look into his records and have him deported."
"It's your scrawny blond friend. The Chairman's kid."
"Senpai!?" Haruhi cried. "Dude...seriously?! Oh man...I should've guessed...but then again it's hard to think he would since he is a chocolate chaser."
"Anyways Haruhi, thanks for the suggestions but we wanna navigate the school on our own for the most part. If we got any questions we'll ask you."
"We need your number first." China grinned.
Haruhi nodded. "Ok," she said as she proceeded to tell them her phone number. "Oh and if you guys ever want to have lunch with me please let me know, I can sneak away from my friends on Tuesdays only since senpai eats lunch on the roof with Sally-chan."
"Sounds fine." Marcus said as he drove up to the order window.
After leaving their uncle's house, China looked at Marcus with a small smirk.
"What?" he asked with a small sigh.
"You like the tanuki girl don't you?"
"I just met her ass, the fuck you mean? As a friend? Sure."
"Uh-huh. Alright then." China leaned back in the seat as she watched their new neighborhood roll by. "So, we meetin' up for lunch tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I'll drop by your class to get ya. Too bad we can't go off campus for lunch."
"Well we could, we'd just have to sneak off." China snickered.
"Uh-huh, no fightin'."
"No promises. I need to find the Kasanoda kid too."
"Ain't he in your class?"
"Fuck if I know. I ain't look at the roster, did you?"
"Glanced at it." Marcus shrugged with a small sigh. "Tomorrow's gonna be hell."
"It might be fun. Ready to be the main attraction?"
"Ain't we always?"
