With all this talk of contests and nominees, I completely forgot to update my story! And it was just getting good, too! No worries, though. I can do it now. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, in a closet!
Chapter 5-The Deal
It was dark. There was a small bit of light escaping through the bottom of the door, but only enough to see a very thin outline of my sisters head. Also, it was uncomfortably cramped. Our average sized teenage bodies easily filled the entirety of the tight space, leaving enough room only to breath. I looked at the figure assumed to be Tamoka and saw that her head was firmly pressed against the door of the closet. I could see her suddenly tense as the footsteps of the host club entering the room became more audible. I pressed my ear to the door of the closet, straining to hear their conversation. Although, I didn't really need to because they were VERY loud. I could tell who was saying what, too:
"Hey, Haru-chan!" honey said enthusiastically
"Hello again." Mori said in a deep voice
"How's it goin, Haruhi?" the twins said simultaneously
"Good afternoon, Haruhi." Kyoya said formally
"Hey, guys!" Haruhi said. There was a pause. "Umm, where's Tamaki-sempai?" she asked
"Your dad won't let him in" Kyoya said bluntly. "They're at the door arguing as we speak..."
We heard quick footsteps as someone ran into the room and a scream of surprise, followed by a loud thud.
"Oh Haruhi! Its so good to see you" we heard Tamaki say dramatically.
"Did you really have to tackle me?!" Haruhi yelled irritated.
"I'm sorry." he said shamefully. "It's just that I was so excited and-"
"Excuse me, young man, but I don't think I gave you permission to come in!" Ranka said sadistically
"W-Wait! I'm sor-" Before he could finish talking, we heard shuffling and scraping noises.
"I'll be back Haruhi. I'm going to take out the trash." he said before we heard him walk toward the door, dragging something behind him.
It must have been Tamaki because we could hear his futile pleas to be released before the door closed behind them.
"So...what have you guys been up to?" Haruhi asked, breaking the silence that had settled in the room.
"Well, we were at the school earlier today." Kyoya said.
"Yeah! We were playing hide and seek!" Honey said cheerfully.
"We were until Mori-sempai ran off somewhere..." Hikaru commented
"Yeah, we saw him take off running and tried to look for him. We found him in front of your apartment building." Kaoru stated matter-of-factly.
'That must have been after he came here looking for us' I thought to myself.
"Why did you run off? And to here of all places..." Kyoya asked curiously
There was a long pause of silence as they waited for his answer. I heard him shift In his seat and take in a breath of air before answering.
"I was chasing someone." he said simply
"Who?" the twins and Honey asked together. There was another pause.
"Two girls with brown hair. I've never seen them at school before and they seemed suspicious." he replied bluntly
"That's unusual..." the twins said simultaneously.
"Yeah, let's keep an eye out for them" Honey said seriously.
"Interesting..." Kyoya said in a eerily pleasant way.
I shook my head in misery. Now the entire host club is after us. And what's worse is that the infamous shadow king has taken interest in us. There's no way we're getting away now. Through the door, I could hear Haruhi laughing nervously. She had remained silent during the whole conversation so that she wouldn't give us away. I'd have to thank her for doing that at least.
"So Haruhi, what have you been up to?" Honey asked curiously.
"Uhhh...actually...you guys caught me at a bad time..." Haruhi said nervously
"Oh really? Why is that?" Kyoya asked fascinated
"Well...I was getting ready to...umm...go to the mall." she replied
"The Mall?" the twins asked suspiciously
"Yeah, the mall." Haruhi said reassuringly. There was a long moment of silence.
"Since when did you start liking shopping?" Hikaru asked genuinely confused.
"Since now!" she said defensively. "Do you......wanna come, too?"she asked nervously. There was more silence.
"Can we, Kyoya?" the twins asked sarcastically.
"Well, it doesn't interrupt my plans...why not?" he replied plainly.
"YAY!!!" yelled Honey
"This should be fun..." the twins said mischeviously
We heard their footsteps leaving the room and then silence after we heard the door close behind them. "Thank god! They're gone..." I breathed before making an attempt to move. Bad Idea. I shifted from on foot to the next, accidentally stepping on Tamoka's foot. "Hey!" she yelled. In an attempt to move away, she entangled her leg in mine, tripping me. Before I knew it, I was falling through the closet door, taking Tamoka down with me. "Owwwww" I said miserably. I had landed face first on something hard. But it wasn't tough. It was kinda tender and it's surface felt like fabric. Actually, I now noticed that the surface felt very strange. It was uneven and I could feel it moving up and down. It was warm and smelled nice, too. I could also here a pounding coming from this object that doubled in speed everytime I moved. 'Is this the floor?' My thoughts were interrupted by a gasp of surprise. 'Oh, what is it now?' I thought to myself agitated. I sat up holding my head and turned to Tamoka. My heart skipped a beat. She was sitting on top of an unconscious Hikaru, her hands covering her mouth and her eyes wide in a mixture of surprise, worry, and panic."Stay calm." I said slowly. She turned her head in my direction and her eyes widened even more. She slowly removed her hand from her face and pointed to the object under me with a horrific expression on her face. I looked down and discovered that I too had landed on a twin. Only difference was that this one was awake...and staring at me. I was stunned silent. All I could do was stare right back at him. Then after 30 seconds of staring and silence, he spoke. "Umm, who are you?" he asked more confused than surprised. I blinked not knowing how to respond. After I remained silent, he looked from me to Tamoka and back, still very confused. And as if things couldn't any worse, the unconscious twin underneath my sister began to awaken. He was unaware of his surroundings but soon realized after he tried unsuccessfully to get up. "Hey! What's the big ide-" he was cut off by Tamoka's hand covering his mouth. "Shhhh!" she hissed. I turned to Kaoru who was beginning to look worried. "Leave here, no questions asked and don't tell a soul." I commanded in a low voice. He looked at his brother and then back to me. "Why? What are you doing here anyway?" he asked suspiciously. I sighed impatiently. "That doesn't matter right now! We'll explain when we start attending your school. Until then, just do what I ask." I said irritated. He waited a moment before replying. "Fine. But what's in it for us?" he asked smugly. 'Aw come on' I thought to myself. "Whatever you want! Just tell us when we get to Ouran!" Tamoka said impatiently. "You sure?" he asked smiling mischeviously. "Yeah, whatever! Just go!" I almost yelled as I hopped off him. Tamoka removed her hand from Hikaru's face and slowly got off him, too. They helped each other up and turned toward us, putting their hands out. "So...we have a deal?" they asked simultaneously. "Yeah, whatever, deal." we both said grabbing their hands and roughly shaking them. We heard the front door open in the other room. "Hey, what's the hold up? Let's go!" Haruhi yelled from the door. I grabbed their shoulders and pushed them toward the door. "Remember. Not a word!" I wispered as they left. When the door closed behind them, my knees gave way and I felt to the floor in exhaustion and relief. We evaded getting caught AGAIN. But we had to make a deal with two demons to do it. It's all good though. I will not live in fear of the twins demands if I can help it. Little did they know, I already had a plan to get out of that. All I had to do was wait to put it in action.
[A Few Hours Later]
Tamoka and I were sipping tea at the table when we heard the front door open.'Haruhi and Ranka must be back from the mall' I thought. "Hey, guys?" she called to us. "What size are you?" I looked at Tamoka. She shrugged her shoulders not knowing the answer. "Uh, why?" I called back. She came into the room, her arms full of bags from every store imaginable. "Sempai went and bought me all of these girly outfits and they're not really my style..." she said scratching her head. I thought about it but already knew how to answer. "Well, you may not like it but I plan to give you a makeover, so keep em. Besides, I don't think me and Tamoka will be needing any girl clothes anymore." I said smiling. "Yay! Makeover!" Tamoka said giggling. Then she stopped and frowned. "Wait, WHAT?!" she looked at me confused. "Why?" Haruhi asked me. I looked at them both and smiled smugly. "Because I have a plan."
