Chapter 3
AN: Dang, we're flying through, huh? *cricket chirps* Ooookay then...
Reviews(we got a lot! XD):
I'mBarelyHuman: Well, thank you very much! Life is a pain, so that's why the updates are far apart, but still exsistent (Barely - haha, see what I did there? No? OK). I like this too(which is why I'm doing this... MOVING ON!).
Amythystgirly: Thank you for loving the idea of this! It's been a while since I originally wrote this, so this might not make sense (I had originally written around the first half of this chapter, so if there are some bumps, I'll come back and smooth it out).
tokyoghoul234: Interesting name... Is Tokyo nice? X3 Anywho... You are welcome for the roses! Kyoya had to tax me for using their roses though, which stank, since I'm saving up for AnimeFest and A-Kon this year(and ComicCon! XD)...
AGirlWhoLovesSweets: Hiya there, friend! Yeah, I had a lot of debate with "Bee" when I told her I couldn't feel anything for this story anymore, so we watched Ouran and I got back into it! So, thank "Bee"(metaphorically, since she doesn't have fan fiction.. YET! - actually, probably not, since she is a busy gal) for getting this story back on! XD She rocks in real life, which I try to put into this story. I read the new chapter, AWESOME! Claudia is me, whenever I am mad at a friend, I always "overreact"(psh! That is not so *my friends in the background* Uh, YES IT IS! *sweatdrop*) and ignore them. When they ask me if I'm mad (no, der!), I glare at them over my glasses and retort, "No, of course I'm not!" Only Bee and another friend catch the sarcasm (and even then only sometimes). It's OK, I get it! X3 GAH! I'm rambling! Gomen!
Also, I don't remember what I said the ships are for this story, so I'm saying them again (since they've changed):
Kyoya x OC, Kaoru x OC x Hikaru, AND AN OC WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE SHIPPED WITH ANOTHER OC IN THE FUTURE (as long as Bee is alright with it, of course... Or if you guys want her to end up either unmarried - which is what the real "Bee" wants - or for her to end up with some OC I'll make up on the spot - aka, base it off another friend of mine, probably someone real "Bee" doesn't know so she won't get too mad at me.) If I can figure out how, I'll put up a poll for that... Either soon or once I introduce the OC... Ugh, DECISIONS!
So that is our new and improved shipping for this story! X3 Hope you lovely readers are alright with the changes, since I'm not going to change them again, it's too hard on my mind (plus Bee was kind of upset when she read that she was going to end up with Kaoru, and I don't want her mad at me, so... yeah)
Well, on to the disclaimer! Hikaru!*points to empty spot* Huh? Where'd Hikaru go?
Haruhi: Don't you remember? He and Kaoru ran away, you scared them off.
Me: Oh, really? *looks down in shame**IDEA!**looks up* Ha-ru-hi?
Haruhi: Oh, fine. Author-san does not own Ouran High School Host Club. Enjoy!
Chapter break ~.~
*BEEP* *BEEP * *BEEP * *BEEP* *BEE-*
I reached up towards my alarm clock and turned off the stupid noise maker as my little brat—I mean little sister—called it back home. Boy am I glad to be living semi alone in this world!
I stumbled out of bed and shuffled over to my closet and slipped on my uniform. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my hair and teeth and flossed through my braces. I walked into my room, more awake, and grabbed my glasses. I opened the door to Bee's apartment and woke her up.
Apparently, we had a chain reaction to wake up. Normally, Vicky would wake me up if she told me she wouldn't be at practice for something at school. Then, I would wake up Bee after I got dressed early and when we were all ready, we would eat rice in my place then walk or take the bus to school. So, after I checked and saw Vicky had left, Bee and I did our routine—which we knew by the paper I have in my room since I have terrible memory.
After we did all that, us non-twins-that-act-like-twins walked over to Haruhi's apartment. Instead of Haruhi welcoming us, we saw a man with long wavy red hair, make-up, and a tan dress business suit open the door for us. Bee and I smiled to Ranka and he goo-ed over us.
"Aw, you two girls are so cute! I love how your long hair is braided and hidden under your collar! Are you the girls Haruhi told me about last night? Where's your friend, the one with black and red hair?" Ranka shot questions at me, before Haruhi poked her head over her father's shoulder. She smiled at us.
"Hey girls! Come on in! Dad, get out of the way for my friends to some inside, k?" she gestured for us to some in and glared at her father, which he just sighed and shrugged and stepped aside.
I shook my head, which Bee copied. "No thank you! We don't wish to intrude. We just wanted to walk Haruhi to school with us is all," I explained to her tranny father, shying away from him. He kind of scared me, the only thing in the world. Literally, her father creeped me out.
Haruhi nodded in understanding and went back inside for a moment. After a few seconds of torture with her father, she came back with her bag and her hair combed to look more like a boy. Bee and I extended our arms to her, which she accepted. She looked back to her father.
"Bye dad. See you tonight."
"Bee sa~afe!" he waved good bye as we dashed away, me in the lead. Haruhi looked at me in curiosity. "Why did you leave my house so quickly, Anna?" I grinned fakely, which she saw right through.
"Well Haruhi, you see, I've seen your father around before and how possesive of you he was, and he kind of scared me," I explained, which was true, in a sense. I have seen him like that, but I was on one side of the screen and they were on the other side. Seeing him in person scared the life out of me.
Chapter break ~.~
Soon, we arrived at the pink gates of hell—I mean school! School! We slowed down and Haruhi gasped and panted. I grinned apologetically. "Well, look on the bright side, Haruhi! We are a full hour early! Maybe we can check our homework for the umpteenth time," I mumbled the last part, which Bee heard and she giggled. Haruhi giggled too, mainly because we were a sight. Bee's and my hair was catty-wampuss and Haruhi's uniform was wrinkled, and we all were sweating from the mad dash.
We speed walked into the school and walked to the restroom, where we fixed ourselves up and Bee and I re braided our hair and pinned it under our collar. Straightening, we walked out of the ladies room without Haruhi or Bee being seen.
Haruhi and I dropped Bee off at class 2-A(well, dragged a hissing and clawing Bee to the room and tossed her in, she hates Tamaki and doesn't want to be in there, since her teacher sat her right next to him. I feel so sorry for her.).
We walked into 1-A together, and since everyone minus Vicky and Hikaru(Hikaru~) and Kaoru and myself think Haruhi's a boy, we had to pretend she-I mean he, was helping me with something I'm declining in already.
"Alright, so. You know a squared plus b squared equals c squared is the Pythagorean Theorem, right?"
"Right."
"Good. Now, oh, hey everybody!" "Hey." We greeted the class when they stopped everything and looked at us. I waved at Haruhi and said, "Well, you'll continue tutoring me in Geometry during lunch, right?" Haruhi kept up the act and smiled. "Of course." I blushed, which was not fake, I really felt silly doing that, and the blush was understood as me liking Haruhi. (AN: For those reading this, know this: I AM NEITHER LESBIAN(though I'm not insulting them nor trying to!) NOR IS THIS STORY YURI! Enjoy!)
I walked to my desk and was bombarded by girly voices and cream puff dresses.
"Wow, you like Haruhi-kun?"
"Lucky, you're getting tutored by Haruhi-kun!"
"How did you do it? I always try to get close to him, but I never have the chance to!
"Can I join you for tutoring?" The world got ever so slightly blurry and I heard gasping close by.
"HEY! Stop pestering her! Can't you see she doesn't like it? She's claustrophobic! See, she's hyperventilating!" I noticed I was subconsciously hyperventilating and the world was even more so slightly blurring. I heard shoving and fast foot steps and soon I felt familiar hands on my shoulders and looked into the dark forest green eyes I have envied of Vicky.
I smiled and my breathing became normal. The world came back into focus and I saw the girls were at a distance and looked very worried. Vicky's tight grasp on my shoulders loosened and she sighed and rested her head on my shoulder.
"Be careful, Anna. You need to watch out for these kinds of situations. The teacher is calling Bee over here now. Sh-He'll flip, you know," Vicky murmured. I smiled and stroked her head soothingly, not caring if we were making a scene. "Vick, I'm fine now. Thanks." She looked up at me and we smiled at each other.
Vicky's POV(RARE!)(Time reverse!)
I walked into the classroom after a grueling practice only to see Anna surrounded by girls who were pestering her with questions and closing her personal space quickly. I signaled the teacher guiding me here to get our friend Bee.
I kept my anger under wraps as I saw her gasping for breath quickly, too much of a reminder of our-world childhood. I ran through the desks while saying,
"HEY! Stop pestering her! Can't you see she doesn't like it? She's claustrophobic! See, she's hyperventilating!" I shouted until I got to my best friend. I kneeled in front of her and placed my hands in a vice like grip to get her to get a hold of herself. She looked up at me and our eyes locked. I watched her fiery hazel eyes gain their sparkle which is a sign that she was calming down. I heard her sigh and I sighed in response and loosened my grip. Worried sick and recovering, my neck muscles seemed to let out on me and my head fell onto her shoulder, just like Hikaru and Kaoru in episode 15 of the anime, which hasn't happened yet.
"Be careful, Anna. You need to watch out for these kinds of situations. The teacher is calling Bee over here now. Sh-He'll flip, you know," I said and smirked, that'll be a sight. Bee's like our mother and sister at the same time. I'm sure she smiled when she placed her hand on my head and stroked it soothingly. I mentally noted we were making a scene and realized that I didn't care!
"Vick, I'm fine now. Thanks." I looked up at her and we smiled, just like Hikaru and Kaoru, except I had a real reason to get worried, unlike Hikaru.
Then, just to ruin the moment, I heard Bee burst into the room. I heard her foot steps hurriedly walk through the maze of desks, which I messed up earlier, and scoot me aside so we made a triangle, like we did when I had to get my tonsils out. I looked over at her and saw her emotions range on her face from anger, fear, happiness, and back through the cycle again. I giggled at the comical reaction and Anna joined me.
Anna's POV(main one)(Time reverse a few seconds)
Just ruining the moment it seems, I saw Bee burst into the room and speed walk through the maze of desks which Vicky messed up. Whoops! She gently scooted Vicky aside so we all formed a tight triangle. I looked at Bee and saw her face go through a cycle of emotions, anger, fear, happiness, and back to anger again. I smiled when Vicky started giggling and caught her contagious giggles. Bee looked at us in confusion and I engulfed my two best friends in a bear hug, making yet another scene.
I felt my hands tire, so I let go. I winked at my friends and Bee winked back, then stood and waved good bye and left for her class. Vicky stood up and sat down on the edge of my desk and motioned for everyone to continue what they were doing before and go away, which they did. Vicky leaned down to face me and we started the interrogation.
"Why were they surrounding you and activating you claustrophobia and ceraunophobia?"
"Well, I walked in with Haruhi and we had to have an excuse for coming in together, so we pretended she- he was tutoring me and we would meet during lunch. After, girls all surrounded me and started telling me how jealous they were of me and how I did it and even if I could get them a tutoring session with Haruhi. Then you came in, and well, you know." Vicky nodded.
"Well, why did you let them? Why didn't you just stand up and go to the restroom or something?" I stared at her.
"You know how I get when I'm just claustrophobic in general, so when ceraunophobia is activated too, I freeze up and am hardly aware of what's going on. I'm sure that answers both questions. Anything else?" I asked sarcastically. She looked away and blushed.
"Yeah. What was up with the "Vick" thing? You never call me Vick!" she murmured and I looked at her in surprise. She never blushed, she was the tomboy, protective father of our group. I shrugged.
"I dunno. Probably to get the class to believe that you're a dude. Don't forget you and Bee have a reputaion to keep up. Also, I spoke to Tamaki-senpai on the phone before bed last night and presented your idea to him. He said sure, except that when you or Bee aren't doing violin or piano to host girls instead of serve sweets. That'll be my job when there's an instrumental piece being played. Just so you know," I gasped for breath quietly as I spoke quickly and in one breath.
Vicky nodded and looked up and moved over to her seat. I looked up and saw Hikaru looking down at me. I tilted my head in curiosity, while internally fighting with myself to not fangirl at my favorite host. The elder devil twin leaned down to me, his topaz eyes looking at my hazel red ones.
"What were you doing, hyperventilating?" I blushed at the seemingly kind words from my one and only crush. I took a deep breath a prepared to reply when the teacher came in and we had to start homeroom. Hikaru looked at me and turned around to his seat. I looked down at my papers and tried to organize them while the teacher blabbed on about something boring.
Bored, I scribbled down a note a passed it to Hikaru. I tapped his shoulder and he reached over his shoulder and grabbed the note. He nodded his head and I heard pencil being written on the paper and soon after, I saw his hand behind him toward me. I reached down and nonchalantly read the note, my part and his reply.
(AN: Anna, Hikaru)
Yo. You as bored as I am? Even club would be better than this
How do you know about club when this is only your second day?
I hastily scribbled a reply;
Well, my old school had a host club similar to this one. And besides, that blonde idiot (Tamaki right?) is better than THIS
I handed it forward and Hikaru nodded his head and I heard him write a reply. He handed it back to me, but not before Haruhi glared at him for passing noted during class, which he shrugged to. I grabbed the note and opened it;
According to Kyoya-senpai, you have been homeschooled and taught yourself. He said it was a wonder you got into this school. Is he right? Especially since you couldn't have had a host club.
I rolled my eyes and wrote a reply, which Hikaru took and read pretty slowly.
What do you think? And I meant my second cousin once removed on my mother's side and third cousin twice removed on my father's side had one and he told me about it.
His reply was also simple, but it hurt to know he was spot on.
I think he was right.
I hold the paper in my hands and tighten my grip on it, making it crumple just a bit too loud. I loosen my hands so the teacher won't see us passing notes. I grabbed my pencil and wrote a reply;
Listen, Hikaru. If you EVER tell ANYONE outside of club—excluding Tamaki of course—I will PERSONALLY MURDER you and maybe even Kaoru too, got it? I don't want my WHOLE LIFE being spread around campus! People think I'm a freak already, what with the hyperventilating incident! Okay?
He gasped when he read it, glanced toward Kaoru, and wrote furiously on the paper like his life depended on it, which it does, and his twin's life. Oh, am I not clever?
I swear not to tell Tono, nor anyone else outside of the club!
I wrote back a short answer;
You swear? Should I believe that? You and Kaoru are tricksters after all... I just dunno!
Hikaru replied at the speed of sound;
I swear! At lunch break, I'll swear it to you, how about that? When it comes to Kaoru, nothing's too much!
I replied with as much sarcasm as possible—I may have liked Hikaru, but when people know about my past(any world, really), I get very nasty, even to the boy I lo-er-like!
Aww! Is that some twincest I see here in the paper?
But before Hikaru could answer, the bell rang for lunch break. I stood up and grabbed Hikaru's collar, dragging him out into the hall, all of the students had left their classrooms 5 minutes before the bell so the halls were quiet. As soon as we were in between the two doors to the classroom, so we had some privacy.
"Well, Hikaru? Do you swear?" I asked, threateningly at a low level and calmly. The elder twin gulped and nodded, then held up his right hand and said,
"I swear to you, with the heavens and the earth as my witness, that I will never speak of your past with anyone outside of club, nor Tamaki-senpai." He lowered his hand. "There, happy now?" I smirked, nodded, and turned on my heel and walked into the classroom, where Haruhi, Vicky, and Bee all sat with Haruhi's desk pushed back, Bee right behind her. Vicky's and my desks were pushed towards the two desks, making a little Tetris® shape. I looked around and saw Kaoru waiting diligently at his desk.
I walked over to the group and sat down in my chair and pulled out my lunch bag. My three female friends did the same. I picked out my strawberry salad and placed it in the middle of the four desks. Bee and Vicky grinned and followed suit, Bee placing in a watermelon ramune® soda and Vicky placing in some rice balls. Haruhi looked confused, so I explained by announcing,
"May the food drawing commence. But first, since we have a guest, let us explain how we do it, in Sanbourn and company." I turned to Haruhi and explained,
"Three times a week, when we have lunch together, we put in one thing in our lunch we don't really want and when I say, we reach our hands in and grab something random. Then, if someone wanted the ramune ® soda, they have a one in three chance. You can participate or just watch." Haruhi shrugged and reached into her bento and placed in the middle a small container of Swedish meatballs. I did all I could to not drool. I wiped my mouth and stood up and said, "On your mark, commence!" We all closed our eyes and reached in. We pulled our arms out simultaneously and opened our eyes to see what we got. I beamed.
"Yes! I got the Swedish meatballs!" Bee grinned too.
"Alright! I got your salad!" Vicky sighed.
"I got the soda." I looked at her curiously.
"What's wrong with that?" She looked at me.
"I hate watermelon!" We started laughing and I held out Haruhi's container of meatballs.
"Here. Have these. I'll trade you." I sat down and gave her the container. Bee held her hand over mine and I looked at her in curiosity. She smirked.
"You really forgot that you're allergic to watermelon?" I grinned sheepishly. "Oh yeah. That's why my stomach churned when I thought of watermelon." I held my hand behind the back of my head sheepishly and giggled, then returned the ramune to Vicky. She was about to hand me the meatballs when I placed my hand on it and said, "You keep them. I'm not that hungry today." She smiled at me and shoved through and forced them to me.
"Yeah right. Not only do you love these things, but you have a fast metabolism and you're hungry faster, so you are the hungriest of all of us." she said logically, while still smiling. My stomach agreed with her with a very loud grumble and rowl. I blushed heavily while my friends—yes, I consider Haruhi a friend too—laughed.
I grabbed my chopsticks and dug into the meatballs with delight. The girls laughed harder and I'm sure I heard Hikaru murmur to Kaoru something. I mentally shrugged it off, externally enjoying these meatballs.
Haruhi and the girls dug in and we enjoyed our meal. We moved the desks back to how they were and then the class came in. Bee waved good bye and she left for her class reluctantly but responsibly. I smiled, that was like her, she was funny, but responsible.
I was snapped out of my reverie by, well, a snap! I started and looked at the person in front of me. I rolled my eyes.
"Yes Kaoru. What do you want?" I asked, leaning back in my chair. I don't really like Kaoru that much, that's Bee's thing. and even there, it'll just be friendship, I'm sure... Kaoru looked at me in shock and I looked at him in curiosity.
"How did you know I was Kaoru and not Hikaru?" I smirked and leaned forward, there was half an hour left till class, since everyone came in early. I looked at Kaoru, pretending to study his features. I smirked again, one that could contend with the Hitachiin not yet famous Cheshire smirks.
"Well, it was a guess, but you speaking confirmed it. Thanks by the way." I totally lied. Even in person—ish, Bee and I can still tell between Hikaru and Kaoru, even if we were blind and the twins were deaf! We practiced with cosplayers too! They were easier! Any way, I leaned my chin on my open palm and looked at Kaoru who, at the moment, was towering over me.
"Again, what do you want Kaoru?" I repeated bored.
"Why did you threaten Hikaru and me?" I sighed and looked down at my desk, not meeting his gaze.
"Well, Hikaru knew my past. I wasn't sure about you so I had to threaten you too. Plus, it ensures that you both will not tell, because you care for each other. If anything happened to Hikaru, you would protect him and vice versa. Ya know, you two are lucky to have someone to care for you and about you. To make you feel whole. You're lucky to have a family here at school in the Host Club." I looked at him, feeling my one negative feeling for the group coming out. Jealousy.
I was jealous of the club being so close, I was jealous of them being a family, I was jealous of them standing up for each other. I was jealous of it all, because I never had it. Even with Bee and Vicky, they are my sisters(and Bee kind of my mother). But we don't have any of the crazy parents, siblings, or even next door neighbors! We only have us three. My gaze focused down at my desk and I saw some wet puddles there. I felt my cheeks. Wet? Tears? I looked up and saw Hikaru in Kaoru's place. I looked around and saw no one was there. What the heck? I feel like Tamaki in episode 4 when he was the lonely prince in the filming. Oh well.
I heard a small giggle which I recognized immediately. Vicky. She seemed to be trying to get Hika and me closer. Not today, sister!
I looked up to a blurry Hikaru, who seemed as perplexed about this as me. I dipped my head and wiped my eyes quickly, embarrassed. I don't normally cry. I looked back up at Hikaru, who was now more in focus. I stood up and bowed in apology.
"Sanbourn-san?"
I looked up. The teacher was looking at me while holding a book and pointing at the board. I felt the gazes of everyone in the class on the back of my head.
"Sanbourn-san, if you knew the answer to the math problem, you just had to raise your hand. You don't have to stand up," the teacher told me. I blushed and sat down, mumbling shyly,
"Sorry, I didn't know the answer," which elicited the class to laugh at me. I ducked my head down and saw in my peripheral vision Vicky looking at me curiously. I ducked my head down so far, I hit my head on the desk. I heard the teacher go on to the next lesson. I'm so embarrassed, it isn't funny!(AN: It kinda is...)
After school before club
I walked into the abandoned music room, still embarrassed from this afternoon. I looked up and saw Vicky tuning her violin. We planned today to do three different pieces, one consisting of Snow Fairy(DO NOT OWN IT!), the other two were different songs, one describing and telling of someone's wish to have a heart to complete the wish of their creator, the other telling the tale of a girl who fell in love with a prince, who returned the feelings; she was believed to be a witch for the princes feelings(AN: If you know these songs, I DO NOT OWN THE VOCALOIDS NOR THEIR SONGS, THEY ARE MOTHY'S AND THEIR CRREATOR COMPANY'S!).
I was brought out of my reverie by the blonde idiot king hugging me and saying some sort of father and daughter garabage. I closed my eyes irritated and shoved Tamaki off of me, retorting,
"Tamaki, my birth father was murdered right in front of me at age four, my second father always beat me with a whip whenever I spoke, and my third father doesn't even know my birthday. You are none of them," I said, loud enough only for him to hear. The blonde idiot king started crying and hugged me even harder.
"ANNA! I'm so sorry for reminding you of your terrible fathers! Daddy will never do it again!"
"Tamaki-senpai~" I murmured. He let go of me instantly, scared at how calmly I said his name. I lifted up my head and smiled and became my cheery self, when I'm not tired or irritated or embarrassed that is.
"That's interesting. According to my research, you never knew your parents and grew up with Vicky. You only had your birth father," Kyoya-senpai said to me. I froze. We have an actual history in this world? I smirked and played with this world's logic.
"You are right. I always used that excuse in the past though, so people won't try to get me in an orphanage. I went to visit one once and hated it there and decided to live with Vicky," I lied.
The clock chimed, signaling it was time for club to start. I looked around and suddenly saw the room became a jungle. What happened, it was a normal room just a few moments ago! Wait, this is the second episode! YES! This flew through my mind as Vicky dragged me to the area where we would sing and play music. I looked at us three and saw that we were clothed in our uniforms. Odd, I thought we would wear the Balinese clothing. Then again, none of us wear skirts.
After the girls were settled with their host, Tamaki-senpai introduced us.
"Ladies, today and hopefully from now onward, we will be having live music from the three new scholarship students. Anna-san will provide vocals, Bee-kun will play piano, and Vicky-kun will play violin. If any of them are not on stage, Anna-kun will be serving sweets or Bee-kun or Vicky-kun will host. Anna-san, would you take it from here?" Tamaki-senpai nodded at me and walked to his group of ladies.
"Thank you Tamaki-senpai. First, we will do the song Snow Fairy. Enjoy!" I looked over to Bee and nodded. Vicky walked down the stage and helped host for the first day. I looked back to the audience and closed my eyes and prepared to sing.
(I won't put the song since I put it in the previous chapter and I'm lazy! Sorry! Also, I did the disclaimer there too, so, ya. MOVE ON! O.O)
When I finished the song, I heard applause right after. I opened my eyes and saw the girls clapping while the hosts were nodding in approval. I smiled and motioned Vicky up here. She ran up the steps and joined me. I sat down on the bench next to Bee for this one. Vicky walked to the microphone after preparing her violin. I could hear some murmuring in the crowd on what Vicky would do, and some irrelevant, such as one that the girl wished that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom for the dance party. Dance party?
Any who, Vicky announced the next song to everyone,
"Next, Anna-san will do the song 'Kokoro'. Also, we wish to let you beautiful ladies know that we will be turning down the volume on everything so that it shan't interrupt you and your activities. Enjoy!" She walked next to the piano and rested lightly on it, giving the appearance of someone sitting on it. She nodded to Bee and they started the music. I harmonized on the notes of the original singer and jumped into the Japanese. (Kokoro, owned by Mothy - or whoever wrote it - and originally sung by the Vocaloid - who I don't own either - Rin Kagamine!)

I opened my eyes and hear girls clapping lightly, half paying attention to us and more to their hosts. We're of course perfectly alright with that though, we knew that would happen. As long as we get some profit from performing. Not money though...
There were some girls who were waiting for their host and those were the ones who mainly clapped. For their sake, we introduced the next song, just that though.
"Song is called Majo. Enjoy!" I nodded and the two musicians started their instruments for this other vocaloid song.(Majo, owned by Mothy, sung by the Vocaloids - who I don't own either - Rin, Len, Miku, Kaito, and Luka!)

I looked around and saw that all of the girls and the hosts were applauding. They weren't really supposed to hear us too well. I looked at Bee and Vicky and they pointed in the direction of the speakers. I looked and saw that the volume was at it's original volume, before we turned it down so we were background music. Oh well! It wasn't us, plus the entire room loved it and that was what I was going for! YAY!
Vicky put her violin under her arm and Bee stood up and in unison, we bowed deeply. We straightened and walked off of the stage, after Vicky put her violin on the piano, since it wasn't really hers, per-say, but the schools that she was borrowing. Whatever.
I looked at my watch and saw it was almost time for club to end, so we timed that all pretty well. At least, I think so...
We walked over to the side of the room and picked up our school bags, which were located close to the changing rooms. We decided to place them here, on days we cosplay and when we don't. We slung the bags over our shoulders and walked to the doors, waving good bye to the host club. However, when we got to the door, Tamaki stood in our way.
"Hold it, you three! We are staying later to help Haruhi learn how to dance, for the ball, alright?" I sighed, this was expected, however, I thought he was in a corner eating commoner's ramen. That reminds me, I have to go to the store and buy more food...
Vicky looked up at him, since she was 4 or 5 inches shorter than him.
"Tamaki-senpai, we don't know how to dance either. Also, what could we do? And thirdly, WHERE DID ALL OF THE JUNGLE JUNK GO?!" she yelled at the last part, going all chibi and spit drops flying from her mouth. Since the girls had left, Bee's and my hair was free(still braided, not under the collar), and flying all around our faces from the fast wind currents from Vick. Haha, a nickname for a nickname! Jeez, am I slow!
Tamaki-senpai closed his eyes, tears brimming in his eyes, and went into his emo corner, the waves of sadness hitting us heavily from over 5 feet away. Wow, more shocking than I thought! Just, wow.
Haruhi walked over to us and said in a monotone voice,
"You really don't have to come, he's just being weird and saying something about his family being together. Also, you three were amazing!" Haruhi brightened when she complimented us. We smiled and we shared the same thought,
We'll definitely stay for the dancing lessons! We HAVE to be in this episode!
We smirked, not even looking at each other and said to Haruhi in unison, "We will be here for the lessons. When are they? Later today? Tomorrow?" Haruhi sweat dropped(YES! A sweat-drop in this world!) and Kyoya-senpai appeared behind her.
"We are going to have the lessons tomorrow, so I do not know why Tamaki wanted you here today. Haruhi is going to be Kanako-san's intended partner for the dance, and she is teaching."
"Yeah, and I'm being blackmailed by the threat of going back to being the dog. You three are lucky for being the musicians and part time hosts/maid. You have no blackmailing liabilities," Haruhi said, stepping away from Kyoya-senpai and I can swear that Vicky was drooling at the sight of Kyoya-senpai. I'll have to talk to her about that...
Kyoya-senpai smirked and pushed up his glasses, which received a glare from the lighting. "Who said they don't?" I swear a chill ran down all three of our spines when he said that. And Vicky's drooling increased. Dude, girl! Calm down!
I reached over and wiped Vick's drool and lowered my arm. I looked at Kyoya-senpai. "What exactly do you have that you can blackmail us with, senpai?" I laced as much pretty cuteness and darkness as humanly possible and then some, smirking. I can swear to eternity that he shivered before replying.
"For one thing, I know your past selves. Not a lovely childhood, was it? Also, Bee and Vick are girls, though the entire student body mistakes them for boys. Haruhi and them have a secret that would be very difficult to clean if it were to spill."
We sweat-dropped, he had a point there. We sighed and Bee spoke.
"Alright, we get your point. However, why is Tamaki-senpai eating a fourth bowl of commoner's ramen? I can tell it's fourth because he has three bowls behind him and a new one in his hands. Four isn't a very good amount, is it?" Haruhi, who was walking past us, noticed and looked towards Tamaki-senpai and, sure enough, he was eating his fourth bowl of ramen. Haruhi shrugged, then turned to walk out the door. Kyoya-senpai and ourselves followed suit.
TIME SKIP: NEXT DAY
I stood next to Hikaru watching Tamaki-senpai, watching Kanako-san teach Haruhi how to dance and Bee and Vicky teaching each other. Apparently, Bee knew how to dance somewhere in her life—I personally think she watched a how to video last night on how to dance the waltz and is just showing off.
"Quick, quick, slow. Quick, quick, slow. Good, Haruhi-kun. On 'slow,' bring your feet together. The gentleman always leads. Be sure to look at the girl you're dancing with."
"Got it!" I smirked, I saw Tamaki-senpai hiding in the corner, sulking. Bee and Vicky were ignoring Haruhi and the host-hopping gal while they danced with each other, when Haruhi fell over onto the lady.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Kasugazaki!" I smirked as I turned around to face the two as Miss Kasugazaki pulled Haruhi closer. What would the hosts do if a guest tried to kiss them, anyways? I shrugged at the thought, I could always ask Kyoya.
"It's okay, Haruhi." I smirked again, this time turning back around to face Tamaki-senpai, who was still sulking on a window seat. The twins flanked my sides and we spoke in unison, "Why so gloomy, boss?" The twins looked at each other over my head and I looked up.
"I bet it's because he wanted to be the one Haruhi practices with." I made a thinking pose and donned a serious face, nodding every few words that Hikaru said.
"I think you may be right, but the boss is way too tall to stand in as a woman!" I nodded again and Bee glomped me in a hug from behind. I gasped for air, while Hikaru and Kaoru laughed at my position. I twisted my neck to glare at Bee, who was on top of me with a triumphant smirk.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked in as threatening a voice as possible. Thankfully, Bee got the message and got off, hiding behind Vicky.
"Papa, our daughter's mad at me!" she whined to Vicky, who rolled her eyes and patted Bee on the head. I gave Bee a small glare before standing up and looking around, before asking, "Wait, am I going to dance? Cos I didn't get any lessons and already Haruhi and Miss Kasugazaki are calling it quits. What's up with that?" I pointed to the two, who were seated around the table. Kyoya appeared next to me and I felt a rebellious shiver dance a samba on my spine. Gosh, that guy is so intimidating.
"Well, since you are a maid and not exactly a host, or in your case a hostess, you won't be needing to dance with anybody, so you won't need to learn to dance." I nodded, before walking away to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"Oh, no problem. I heard that you're not seeing any customers today so that you can practice dancing. I'm glad I got to spend this time alone with you." Oh good Gallifrey, someone please shove me into a well so I won't have to listen to this!
Deciding I didn't like one-sided flirting, I walked over to Bee and Vicky, who were lounging in a couch with the twins leaning on the back of said couch. Defiantly, I sat down on Bee's lap, who squeaked in surprise. "A- Anna, why don't you sit on Papa's lap?" I glared at Bee, she knew Vicky wasn't any of my three dads, she was too good.
From my spot on Bee's lap, I could perfectly watch the scene between Haruhi, Miss Kasugazaki, and Kyoya without hearing anything.
In mid-thought, I felt a poke on my shoulder. I looked behind that shoulder to see Kaoru pointing to Hikaru. I rolled my eyes and looked back to the scene, noticing when the guy came in and decided to tune in.
"No, I'm a regular student. Can't you tell by the uniform?" Miss Kasugazaki laughed lightly before she turned around in her seat.
"Oh Haruhi, you're so funny. I can't blame you for not knowing. After all, he doesn't look like an heir to a first-class company." 'Aren't they all in one way or another?' I thought exasperatedly, before I remembered the blooper for that bit and I started to giggle, before coughing it down.
"First-class company?"
"His family's business, the Sushima trading company deals primarily in the importing of tableware. They currently have top-market share in the country." I could almost hear the violins in the background.
"Wow."
"So, whenever something exceptional comes in, we've asked them to send it our way. He has a great eye for fine china, don't you, Suzushima?" I shrugged when Haruhi gave me a curious glance, before she looked back to Suzushima-kun.
'You think? I've still got a lot to learn, but thank you." 'Ok, where did that orchestra soundtrack come from?'
Bee squirmed from under me, to which I just stomped on her foot lightly, signaling her to calm down. She whimpered, but did stop moving. Since I didn't want to crush my friend, I got up and sat down next to Bee, right under Hikaru. 'Oh my goodness, Anna, calm yourself! Just because you are in one of your favorite animes and are in close vicinity with your crush - he is not my crush!' yelled the defiant voice in the back of my head. I squished it before continuing my mental rant - 'does not mean you will turn into a Mary Sue, or whatever it's called for anime fanfictions and fall in love that easily! I mentally groaned. Why won't the author give me some angst?' (AN: Because her mental turmoil is angst enough, until we get further into the plot! X3 )
I looked up when I heard the door close quickly, as if someone was in a hurry. I was about to look behind me when I remembered who was behind me. Before my face would turn beet red, I looked back around. In my peripheral vision, I saw Vicky wiggle her eyebrows suggestively at me and Bee roll her eyes. I grinned sheepishly at them, before I noticed Kaoru giving me a confused look.
Quickly, I grabbed my bag, pulling out my sketchbook, flipped to the next blank page, and started to sketch whatever came to mind. Whenever I wanted to draw but didn't know what, I just drew what came to mind after I look at the first thing that enters my sight. I looked over the rim of my glasses to see topaz eyes gazing straight at me. I squeaked, jumping a little from the close vicinity of one of the twins. Instinctively, I kept my sketchbook close to me, not wanting anyone to see what I had drawn (which was nothing, but that's besides the point!).
Hikaru sighed, straightening. He looked over to someone to his right. "See, Kaoru? I told you she was awake! She just got her sketchbook out, is all!" I followed his line of sight to see Kaoru staring at me, almost worriedly. I tried to summon a grin, though I think it ended up looking like a grimace.
Before anything could happen between the awkward five, I heard Hani-sempai shout, "Haru-chan!" I stood up quickly from the startle of the sudden loud voice. I sighed as Hani-sempai told Haruhi the two who had just left here did know each other. I looked at them, smiling.
"Kyoya, how long have you known this?" All five of us looked towards the Shadow King and I grabbed Bee and Vicky's wrists, pulling them closer to the rest of the club.
"About the two of them being engaged? Well, as you know, I conduct general searches on all of our customers. The two of them were childhood friends, it seems that their engagement was arranged by their parents. I didn't think the information would benefit us, so I disregarded it." I smirked, crossing my arms under my chest, in an instinctive defensive stance.
"I see," was Tono's weak reply. Kyoya looked back down at his Death Note - I mean, notebook. "Toro Suzushima. Outstanding grades, fair social status, he's ordinary looking, but he's reliable. If i had to fault him for anything-"
Hikaru and Kaoru slid up behind the Shadow Lord. "-He doesn't have much presence-"
"-And he's faint-hearted,"
"So in other words, he's boring." Kyoya closed his notebook-
-Death Note-
-notebook with a snap. Haruhi sweat dropped and I thought, 'I never knew Kyoya and the twins would finish each other's sentences... Guess there's a first time for everything, huh?'
From his spot on Mori-sempai's shoulder,Hani-sempai piped up. "Suzushima is a good boy, right?"
"Yeah." Ah, one-word Mori.
"All right, everyone. We'll have to work on our strategy." Tamaki had stepped forward, so we were all in a big huddle. All of us spook in unison, "Which one?"
"Men, and ladies, it's our responsibility as members of the elite Ouran Host Club to make every girl happy!" 'Huh, don't think you're doing so great,' I thought, looking over to Haruhi's dead pan expression while she was still holding the tea cups. I suddenly realized I was supposed to take those into the kitchen. Oops.
Slowly, while Tono was rambling, I grabbed the tea cups from Haruhi's arms and dashed off to the kitchen, where I put away the tea cups.
Once I had finished that, I walked out of the room to find most of the Host Club had left. All that were left were Bee, Vicky, and the twins. When I got close enough, I hummed in thought.
"Huh, was I that slow?" The twins ignored me, instead gathering their stuff. I looked to Bee and she shrugged. "Pretty much, ..."
I nodded while she explained the plan to me. Alright, makes sense. What, WHAT?! I voiced my complaint to Bee, yelling in her ear. She held her hands up in defense.
"Sorry, but it's Tono's plan and you know how much of a fit he'll throw if you don't do it!" I could tell she had barely convinced herself to do this herself. I sighed and shook my head. "Well, at least I won't be alone... Right?" I gave Bee and Vicky a hard stare, which they just sweat dropped and started to walk backwards. I walked after them, going faster, causing them to walk faster, till we were running.
"I WON'T BE ALONE, RIGHT, BETHANY LILY HANAHILLA?! VYCTORYA ELIZABETH CABAZALLA?! RIGHT?!" By now, I was pretty much Renge, my hair were snakes and I was pretty much a red-glowy-eyes demon chasing my friends around, who were crying and begging for hel prom the twins, who were just watching with amusement.
