It would have been dead silence if my maid hadn't spoken up. "I'll go get more drinks, what would you guys like to drink?" Mei was the first one to start ordering her drink. While she was busy taking their orders I walked over to Amaya and pulled her aside forcefully.
"Nice hair." I said looking at her short dark purple tousled hair.
"Thanks." She whispered touching it slightly.
"Now back to the subject..just when the hell is this?" I whispered to her trying to not yell.
"Sorry it's just Ryuku showed up to my house with Akiko and Mei when the limousine came. And Ryuku must be psychic or something because he knew I was coming over to your house!" She said with a freaked out expression.
"Amaya only you would think that…" I whispered. I mean it's not hard to put two and two together right? I tell Ryuku to give me Amaya's phone number and suddenly there's a limo outside her house.
"Are you old enough to be having that kind of drink?" I could hear my maid ask Mei.
"Um yeah, I wouldn't be asking for it if I knew I wasn't allowed to drink it." Mei said crossing her arms.
"Well alright," my maid said with a twitching smile. As soon as she disappeared into the kitchen both Mei and Akiko slapped fives.
"What's this, a party?" My brothers chimed with mischief in their voice. I looked over at them to see they were both standing in the doorway, soaking wet. Great…
"So…Hana aren't you going to introduce us to your brothers?" Akiko said looking at them with a look I knew to well. It was the I'm-so-getting-you-into-my-bed look.
"Oh yeah…" I said walking over to them half heartedly. "Hikaru, Kaoru this is Akiko and Mei." I introduced them looking over at the girls giving them warning looks not to touch them. Akiko blew me a kiss I glared harder at her. "And that's Ryuku and Amaya." I said gesturing to my best friend and the girl who was responsible for all this.
"It's a pleasure meeting you two!" Akiko said pushing me out of the way with one swing of her hips and into Ryuku's chest. That little skank! I was about to march back over to her.
"Whoa where are you going?" Ryuku said sliding his hands around my waist. I looked up at him to see he had a toothy grin.
Mitsukuni's P.O.V
Hanako got thrown to the side by a girl with bright red hair. She landed right into the tall brunette who hadn't taken his eyes of Hanako since he got here. My blood boiled as he wrapped his hands around her lower back, the look he was giving her made my fists shake.
"And who are you little boy?" The girl with dark purple hair said leaning down to my eyelevel. I wasn't paying attention to her as I saw the guy trying to get closer to Hanako's face. She noticed I wasn't looking at her and turned around.
"Oooh little boy you shouldn't be seeing that, it's rated PG-13." She took another peek. "And hopefully heading to rated R!" She said with a giggle. "I mean it's about time they noticed there feelings for each other." I directed all my attention to her.
"What." I said.
"Oops there I go rambling again." She said hitting herself on the head lightly. "Uh…pretend you didn't hear that okay?" She said leaning closer to me.
"No, I'm going to remember all that." I said looking down, my hands were still balled up into fists. I got up, everyone else seemed to be busy with each other. I was about to walk out of the living room but I turned back to see Hanako, she looked at him with a longing look and a slight blush on her cheek. Why did I even come here? I kept walking towards the front door I heard heels clacking against the floor.
"Hey! Little boy where are you going?" It was that girl again. "Was it something I said? I'm sorry, here I have candy here somewhere. Little kids like candy right..?" She mumbled the last part to herself. I turned around to face her.
"Oh looks like I won't need that candy after all." She smiled.
"What's your name." I said.
"Amaya!" She said cheerfully. "What's yours?" She said with shinning eyes.
"I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka, and I'm not a little kid. I'm seventeen years old." I said angrily looking at her in the eyes. They seemed to gleam once I said that, I turned around and opened the door but before I left I looked back at her.
"And by the way maybe you shouldn't assume someone's age." I said walking out and slamming the door behind me. I wasn't mad at her, in fact I really didn't know who I was mad at. I had all this built up rage.
I guess Hanako doesn't feel the same way I do…and that guy he's the one she lived with all those years she was gone. Isn't it natural for her to feel something for him? I felt like punching something, someone…why am I this angry? I don't get it…Hanako's smiling face flashed across my mind, my hands stopped shaking I started to feel calmer. But then his face came into view, the way his green eyes looked at her like she belonged to him. All my rage came back like it had never left but instead increased. I got into the limo that had been waiting for me.
"Take me to the Dojo." I told the chauffeur.
Hanako's P.O.V
"Ryuku what are you doing?" I said trying to get out of his hold. "Can you please let me go?"
"Ha ha no way!" He laughed, he tightened his hold on me. "So mind telling me way you hung up on me?" He asked trying to grab my chin so I could face him. His left hand was still firmly placed on my lower back. He gently grabbed my chin and made me look him in the eyes. That movement reminded me of Mitsukuni and for a second I thought he was the one holding me.
"Hanako?" I heard Ryuku say.
"Huh? What?" I said coming out of my daze.
"Way to space out like that." He chuckled letting me go.
"Yeah.." I suddenly got the urge to want to see Mitsukuni I quickly looked back but I didn't see him anywhere. I also noticed Amaya wasn't in the room. I heard footsteps coming from outside the living room, I walked out of the living room towards the front door. I saw Amaya walking towards me looking back at the door like she was debating weather to go outside or not.
"Amaya, what are you doing?" I asked her looking at the door and back at her.
"Huh? I was just…hey who was the little-I mean Mitsukuni." She asked.
"Mitsukuni, how do you know his name?" I said surprised.
"Oh, I was just talking to him but he left…it looked like he was mad about something." She said scratching her head. "So who is he!" She said grabbing my hand.
"He's the one I kissed…" I said looking at the door, did he see what Ryuku was doing?
"So uh…I guess he's off limits then…" Amaya said blushing. I looked at her in disbelief.
"Ok then I guess he is…" She said, she suddenly gasped. "Oooh then maybe it was a bad idea to tell him you and Ryuku liked each other…" She said biting her index finger.
"YOU WHAT!" I yelled I slapped a hand over my mouth. I looked back to see if anyone was eavesdropping on our conversation before going on. "Amaya why would you say that! I don't have those kinds of feelings for Ryuku." I said trying to keep my voice low but it was impossible it all made sense now, that's probably the reason Mitsukuni left! "Amaya what exactly did you tell him." I said in a shaky voice.
"Just that…and that you guys might you know…" She said trailing off looking away.
"You know…?" I repeated her last words slowly afraid that it was something even worse than the first thing she said.
"Do the nasty." She whispered into my ear.
"What!" I yelled I covered my mouth again. With all this yelling I wouldn't be surprised if someone showed up.
"Sorry..I didn't know he was the one you kissed, can you forgive me?" She said giving me the puppy eyes look.
"Yeah, I guess, you didn't know..but still why would you tell him that!" I said stomping my foot.
"You guys just looked so cute together you know? The way he looked at you and held you it looked like it came out of one of those romantic movies."
"Really…" I said incredulously. "I should have taped that-WAIT NO!" I need to stop loosing my mind to romance...
"Okay for now let's just go back and deal with everyone." I said, we walked back to the living room but it was empty.
"Hey were did everyone go?" I said looking around.
"There out there!" Amaya said pointing to the glass doors. We walked outside to see them sitting on one of the tables near the pool. Mei and Akiko sat on the sides of my brothers, Ryuku sat across from them…what is Hikaru holding? Is that a notebook! Are they questioning him! I walked over to them Amaya right behind me.
"So when Hanako went to that Momo's thing did she ever fill in for anyone?" Hikaru asked him. I took away the notebook.
"What are you guys doing?" I said looking at them.
"We just want to know what happened during those three years." Hikaru and Kaoru answered like it was nothing. I looked down at the notebook to see it filled with things I did and where Ryuku was at those times.
"Yeah Hanako don't overreact they're just being normal protective brothers." Akiko said getting closer to Kaoru. My eye twitched when I saw her shirts neckline way lower than before.
"Hey let's go for a swim!" My brothers in unison.
"That's a great idea!" Akiko said with a giggle. I clutched the notebook so I wouldn't slap her.
"But we didn't bring swimsuits." Mai said in a bored tone. Okay at least I knew she had given up on trying to seduce one of my brothers. But I couldn't say the same for Akiko when she had her mind set on something she stuck to it till the end.
"Why don't you let them barrow some swimsuits?" Kaoru suggest looking up at me. I sighed.
"Fine, come on let's go to my room." I said walking back inside. I looked back to see my brothers dragging Ryuku inside as well. I didn't say anything until we where inside my room. I opened my walk in closet.
"Swimsuits should be in the back, you can keep whichever one you choose." I told them.
"Really!" Amaya beamed.
"Yeah." I said. Amaya dragged Mai inside. I looked over at Akiko. "You. What are you trying to do with my brothers?" I said narrowing my eyes at her.
"Oh relax Hana, it's just harmless flirting." She said putting her hands on her hips.
"Is harmless flirting almost flashing them?" I yelled. She sighed.
"Hana I wouldn't do that…well yeah maybe. But it's not like I'm actually going to sleep with them, although a threesome will be pretty hot-"
"There's no way in hell that's going to happen." I said getting angrier.
"Alright, aright geez I get it. Your brothers are off limits." She said with a serious look. I stopped glaring at her I knew when she had that look she wouldn't go back on her word. But still…She sighed. "Oh what fun will it be if I can't flirt with anyone."
"Who says you need boys to have fun?" I said walking into my closet.
"I do." She said walking in right behind me. "Ugh, Hana you rich bitch I can't believe you kept this from us." She said looking around.
"And that your mom is the famous clothes designer Yuzuha Hitachiin." Mai said holding a red bikini. Amaya popped out of no where in front of my face.
"Tell your parents to adopt me!" She said in a pleading voice. I laughed.
"Wouldn't you miss your parents?" I told her.
"No, I think they're going to send me to boarding school or something…" She said.
"What!" We all shouted in unison.
"I'm just kidding." Amaya said laughing it off. I didn't believe her though.
"Come on Hana let's go swim!" Amaya said picking out a black and yellow bikini. I picked out a random swimsuit Amaya started undressing she never did mind if anyone saw her naked.
"I'm going to the bathroom to change." I told them starting to walk out of my closet. "If you guys want there are guest rooms you can change in down the hall."
"Thank Kami!" Mei said speed walking out of the walk in closet. "She just took of her bra!" She said exiting my room. I laughed. "What about you?" I asked Akiko.
"Where do your brother's sleep?" She asked me.
"I'll kill you if they ever see you naked!" I shouted chasing her around my room.
"I'm just kidding, really it was a joke!" Akiko said jumping on my bed. I sighed and closed my eyes.
"Geez what's wrong haven't they ever seen a girls naked body before?" She asked me as she sat Indian style on my bed.
"H-how would I know!" I stuttered.
"Maybe they haven't…they still have that innocent look in their eyes." Akiko said rubbing her chin in thought.
"Innocent look!" Amaya said from behind me. I jumped.
"How long have you been behind me?" I said in a weak voice she really scared me.
"Long enough to hear innocent!" Amaya said blushing. "So who are the innocent ones?" She asked us.
"Her brother's." Akiko informed her.
"Really? I haven't been paying that much attention to them but I can tell when a guy is still innocent!" She said with gleaming eyes.
"Of course we know you're fetish." Both Akiko and I said.
"You only seek out guys with that young aura coming off them." Akiko said.
"Oh yeah! Well you only seek out uh, um…" Amaya looked stumped.
"I don't have a type as long as they look cute enough I'll go for them." She said winking. "Like your brothers." She said looking at me. Amaya held me back as I tried to kick Akiko.
"What's going on?" Mei said walking into my room.
"Oh, we were just talking about Hana's brother's still being virgins." Akiko said like it was nothing.
"Hey I'll be the judge of that!" Amaya said letting me go I took that chance to punch Akiko she fell back on my bed.
"What was that for?" She said sitting up rubbing her cheek.
"Just take it as sign to stop talking about my brother's sexual lives!" I said glaring at her.
"Really well…" Akiko got up and punched me sending me stumbling back. "That's pay back." She smirked. We both glared at each other before running at each other with our fists extend back. Neither of us landed a real punch on each other since we were both dodging the fists that came to our faces. I could see her smirk as she did a roundhouse kick which almost hit my face if I hadn't jumped back. Damn I forgot about that, kicks are her strongest point. I tightened my fists, oh well I have my strongest points too. We were about to go at it again we were three inches away from each other when someone smacked us on top of the head hard and I mean really hard.
"Oww!" I yelled holding my head. I looked up to see Ryuku.
"What was that for!" Akiko and I shouted.
"Do I really need to explain myself?" Ryuku said hitting me on the head again.
"Hey why the hell are you hitting me!" I shouted at him.
"Because…I enjoy it." He smirked. "Now apologize to each other." He said pushing me forward. I looked at him for a couple of seconds. He gave me a creepy grin as he lifted his hand up again. I immediately extend my hands out and hugged Akiko.
"I'm sorry I punched you." I shouted so Ryuku could hear it loud and clear.
"I'm sorry I punched you too!" Akiko shouted.
"Touch my brother's and I'll kill you." I whispered into her ear.
"Touch my face and I'll kill you." She whispered to me.
"I have very good hearing." Ryuku said.
"We're sorry!" Akiko and I shouted.
"Is that normal?" I heard to familiar voices say. I turned around to see my brothers walk towards us they looked a little surprised and amused.
"Yeah they always used to get into fights like this every few weeks." Ryuku told them. My eyes widened.
"How much of that did you guys see?" I asked my brother's.
"Well around the part where you two started charging at each other." They both said. "Well now we know you were truly a female fighter."
"Wait! Who told you about that?" I asked them. They both looked at Ryuku.
"I didn't know it was supposed to be a secret." He laughed nervously as I glared at him. "Hey half of you are already in swimsuits, I guess we'll meet you two in the pool." Ryuku said grabbing Mei and Amaya they all left my room living Akiko and I alone.
"What. A. Fucken. Idiot." I said looking at the spot where Ryuku last stood.
"Aww Hana don't talk bad about him, after all he only acts that way because he likes you." Akiko said wrapping her arms around my neck.
"What is it with all of you guys saying that? He doesn't like me we're just that close." I said getting out of her hold. Akiko turned around and I did too, I started to undress.
"And by everyone you mean only me and someone else don't you?" She asked me.
"You know me so well." I said taking off my bra and putting the top half of the bikini on. "But why do you guys keep saying that?" I said frowning at the wall since I couldn't see Akiko's face.
"Well you really haven't seen how he looks at you." She said. I put on the bottom half wondering about what she had said, how does he look at me? Do his eyes give off some message like those moving signs on the subway?
"Are you naked?" She asked me.
"Nope." I said turning around to see her already facing me. "Come on let's go." We both walked out of my room and down the stairs to the pool. I was still thinking about what she had said.
"Hey!" Amaya shouted jumping on me. I hadn't even noticed we were already outside.
"Oh, hey did you already get in?" I asked her noticing she was already socked from head to toe.
"Yeah! Your brother's pushed me in!" She smiled. "Oh that reminds me!" She hoped over to them I looked at Akiko but she just shrugged. We both looked at Amaya as she grabbed both my brothers' faces squishing them together and bringing them down to her eye level. She let them go after a second and skipped back to us. She smiled at me and gave me two thumbs up.
"They're still virgins!" She said grinning.
"I really didn't need to know that..." I mumbled. Akiko started laughing hysterically. I pushed her into the pool but even then she was still laughing.
"Hey aren't you coming in?" Mei asked me.
"No I think I'll get in later." I said. I sat down on the ground and looked at my feet, I still felt pretty bad about Mitsukuni leaving. I felt like going over to his house and explain everything to him but I couldn't leave them here in my house. Who knows what will happen I don't want to risk leaving my friends alone with my brothers. I sighed loudly.
"What's wrong sad eyes?" I looked up to see Ryuku he looked pretty tall from my angle. Maybe it was because I was sitting on the ground.
"Nothing." I said looking down.
"It doesn't sound like nothing." He said sitting down next to me.
"Why aren't you in the pool?" I asked him, I took this chance to look into his eyes to try and see what everyone was talking about but I couldn't see words moving across his eyes.
"Well I was getting…left out." He said the last words in a whisper. I laughed he never liked feeling left out maybe because he was so used to all the attention being on him. I looked at the pool to see my brothers messing with Akiko and Mei. Akiko didn't look like she was going to flirt with them anytime soon.
"So why aren't you in the pool?" He asked me.
"Because…."
"Because?" He questioned.
"Why couldn't you just take the because." I said looking at him.
"I'm curious, what has you so down?" He said.
"Haven't you ever heard of 'curiosity killed the cat'? " I said raising a brow.
"Don't you know cat's have nine lives?"
"Good come back." I laughed. "Can I just have a hug?" As soon as those words escaped my lips he wrapped his arms around me in a tight embrace. Someone splashed water on us. We both glared at the person who did it. Akiko slowly backed away.
"Don't look at me someone here is splashing water on everyone." She said going back into the pool. I looked at Ryuku and we both laughed. I got up.
"Come on let's go in." I said giving him a hand. He smiled and I knew then that everyone was wrong about him, we were just best friends and nothing more.
"Finally you're out of your emo stage." He said taking my hand as he got up but I let him go and he fell back down.
"Ow!"
"That's for calling me emo!" I said running towards the pool and jumping into the deepest end.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
It was now Sunday, I looked at the Haninozuka mansion from outside of the gate. Looking back at it, from yesterday's point of view it didn't look this hard to go in there and explain everything he saw. I had managed to convince my mom to let me go to work a little late today she agreed but now that I was here I didn't know what to do. What exactly should I say? How do I start it off?
"So you did have a fight with your boyfriend." I heard my driver say from behind me. I turned around to see him leaning on the limo looking at me. I gave him my death glare.
"Shut up he isn't my boyfriend I think…" I said looking down.
"Fuck buddies?" He suggested I looked up at him with wide eyes, he was now lighting a cigarette. "Ooh is that why we're here? You're going to have a quickie before work?" I felt my face go red I found myself walking over to him and I started hitting him.
"Does it look like I would do such a thing!"I shouted.
"I don't know girls like that usually look all innocent and quite." He said taking a drag. I smacked the cigarette out of his mouth.
"You have a real big mouth you know." I said walking back to the gate.
"So do you." He shouted back I looked back to see him with another cigarette. I inhaled and exhaled to try and relax myself I don't want to go back to jail for murdering my chauffeur. I pushed the button that was on the buzzer intercom.
"Yes?" Someone's voice came through the tiny speaker.
"Um, I'm looking for Mitsukuni Haninozuka." I said.
"What's your name?" The other person asked.
"Oh, I'm Hanako Hitachiin."
"Alright, please wait a moment." My legs trembled as I waited for the person to speak again.
"He's not here I'm sorry please come back another time." What! He's not home! B-but it's so early! I gasped what if he just doesn't want to see me? Then he really is mad! Ow why does my chest hurt…I put a hand over my chest. My eyes started to sting. Hmm maybe it's allergy season already. I walked back to the limo with my head down.
"Just take me to work." I mumbled.
"Alright then…" He said. He drove me to work as I pondered over Mitsukuni. I guess I can see him at school or the host club right? It's not like I'll never see him again…I sniffed a little and wiped away the tears in my eyes. Stupid allergies…Ow damn it what's up with my chest? Maybe it's heartburn or something…
"We're here!" He said happily. I got out quickly checking my phone only to see I have three minutes left!
"Thanks for the ride!" I shouted without looking at him I ran inside the building. Damn I still had to take the elevator. Oh! One still open, oh no it's closing! Oh there's someone in there!
"Wait can you hold the door please!" I shouted. I saw them stop the door with there hand I ran inside. I put my hands on my knees. "Thanks" I said out of breath.
"You're welcome. Which floor are you heading to?" He said with a slight accent.
"The thirteenth floor please." I said looking up he had black hair that stuck out all over the place, red eyes and a wide smile.
"What a coincidence I'm heading there too." There was that accent again.
"Really well I never go there though, I don't know why my mom is sending me there…"
"Is your mother Yuzuha Hitachiin?" He asked.
"Yeah how do you know?"
"You look a lot like her." I mentally grunted there I go again asking the obvious. "Do you work for her I've never seen you?" I asked changing the subject.
"Oh yes, actually I only come when the designs are finished see I'm a-" He was cut off by the door opening.
"There you are Hanako!" I heard my mother shout.
"Sorry-I'm-late-don't-punish-me-by-making-me-work-here-longer!" I said in super high speed stepping out of the elevator.
"What?" She said with a puzzled look. She shook me off with her hand. "Whatever as long as you're here." She looked over my shoulder.
"Oh I see you met Ciarán!"
"Uh yeah, in the elevator." I said looking around the room. "Mom what am I doing here?" I asked.
"Oh we'll get to that." She walked over to me with a big smile plastered on her face that made me slightly worried. "Hanako you're going to be working with him for a little while." I looked at her confused I tilted my head.
"Oh! Is he a designer?" I said looking back at him, he just chuckled.
"Um…No. He's a model and you two will be modeling together." She smiled.
"WHAT!" I shouted utterly shocked.
