~Ryu's POV~
Mizu seemed to have calmed down a bit more after nee-san's hot chocolate. She lay in my arms, half-asleep. 'Hey, Ryu...'
'Hmm?'
'I love you...'
'I love you too, Mizu.'
I fingered her hair and placed her on the bed. She cuddled up against me. 'Don't do that again, okay?'
'I'll try,' I grinned as she whacked me teasingly. 'Hey, Mizu...' I asked her.
'Yes, Ryu?' She replied drowsily.
'What do you think the reason for you being born with black hair and me being born with white hair is?'
No reply. After a few seconds, light snores came from my sister's body. I smiled and covered the blanket over her. 'Goodnight Mizu.'
I quietly opened the room door and tip-toed outside...and came face to face with Haruhi. 'Ah...Haruhi, what are you doing here?'
'Oh, Ryu! I-I wanted to see how Mizu-san was faring.' I smiled at his concern. 'You're a really nice person, Haruhi. Mizu's doing fine, she just fell asleep.'
'O-oh! Okay then,' he walked into the room. I yawned and walked downstairs to make myself a bowl of cereal. (Koko Krunch!) Just then, I saw Mori-senpai and Yumi nee-san all cuddled up on the couch and Hani-senpai was lying next to them. I nearly burst out laughing.
I dragged myself to the kitchen and poured the Koko Krunch into the bowl. Suddenly, a blast of cold air entered the house. I turned to look for the source and found that one of the kitchen windows was slightly ajar. I looked out the window, the small breeze pulled at my hair. Just then, a sudden movement caught my eye. I rubbed my eyes...For a moment there, I thought I saw a human figure...
I quickly shut the window and took my late night supper upstairs. Haruhi, Hikaru and Kaoru were already in their beds when I stepped into my room. Haruhi was the first to notice my presence. 'Oh Ryu! Where did you go?' He turned over in his sleeping bag. The Hitachiins turned around too. I showed them my bowl of Koko Krunch. 'I was hungry...'
The twins were busy looking at some sort of book. I sat down on the floor in between Haruhi and them. 'What're choo guyfs looking aft?' I asked as I wolfed down my food. The twins sniggered. 'My, my Ryu-san...You looked so adorable when you were young, not like the statue we know now. They turned the book around so that I could see the cover. I immediately snatched it away from them. It was an album filled with pictures of Mizu, Yumi nee-san and I when we were young. 'And Yumi-senpai looked so cute!' Hikaru squealed. Haruhi got out of his sleeping bag and clomped the two over the head. 'Don't go looking through other people's stuff without permission!'
'But Haruhi!!!' the twins whined. I slotted the book back to its rightful place on the room shelf. Hikaru and Kaoru stared at me evily like I'd just ruined their fun. I glared them down and added, 'Do you guys want my eyes to glow?'
And just like that, the two of them were under their blacnket, shivering with fear. I smiled in triumph as I finished my last spoon of cereal. I put it on the floor near the door, hoping that I would remember to bring it down the next morning, and crept into bed beside Mizu. I flicked of the lights and all of us lay in darkness. 'Hey Ryu-san?' Haruhi whispered.
'Yeah?'
'Why do you have white hair? Did your mother have white hair?'
I snuggled underneath the blankets. 'Kaa-sama had the most beautiful black hair...she had red eyes too, like Mizu.'
'So then, why do you have a different hair colour, Ryu?'
I closed my eyes. 'I don't know, Haruhi. When we were born, Kaa-sama took one look at me and she yelled and screamed , 'This child isn't mine! This child isn't mine! My beautiful baby daughter was born along with this monster!'
Haruhi kept quiet. 'I'm so sorry,' he said after a while.
'Nah,' I murmured. 'It's okay. But after that, because of kaa-sama's strong refusal to bring up a child like me and her screaming and resisting fits, she developed an incurable lung infection. Then a few years later, she passed away.
'After that, Otou-sama had to raise all three of us by himself, but he never complained. He kept on saying things like, 'Oh how happy I am to be blessed with such wonderful children' or 'I love all of you! Each one of you is a blessing!'
I could feel tears welling up inside my eyes. 'But I knew that Otou-sama wasn't happy all the time...' I rolled over in bed. 'If he had just two perfect daughters...without this monster of a son, things would be easier for him.'
Haruhi sat up on his matress. 'Ryu! Don't say things like that!'
I sat up too, and looked at him through the dim moonlight coming in through the window. 'There was one time...Otou-sama left for work without his bento and I went to go and bring it to him. When I was at his office, I heard some of his colleagues jeering at him and teasing him. 'Haha! Your son is a monster! Just look at him, with his hair colour!' One had said.'
''How do you live life like this, Kago? Surely someone like you wouldn't be able to stand having a monster for a son!' Another had said. Otou-sama only dipped his head in embarrassment and I ran off, leaving his bento at the office.'
Haruhi argued back. 'But Ryu! Look how you've helped other people in life! Without you around, Mizu wouldn't be this happy! And Yumi-senpai-'
'This happy?! This happy?!'
'No Ryu, what I meant is-'
'Look Haruhi! Look how I made Mizu cry! Look how sad she is everytime!' I snapped. I looked over at Mizu, tears flowing freely down my cheeks. 'All this, just because she was born a twin...A twin of a monster, too make things worst.'
'But Ryu! If you weren't there to save Mizu from bullies countless of times, she would be more hurt and upset!'
I paused and looked at Haruhi. 'Ryu, you being born into this world wasn't a mistake. And you're not a monster, you're just unique. You coming to the Host Club wasn't a mistake either. With you, Kaoru, Hikaru and I have another friend...And-And! With you...Kyoya-senpai has made more profits for the club! A-and-!'
'Haruhi, I understand,' I cut him off as I lay down in bed.
'Oh...' Was all he said and he too lay down to sleep.
'And Haruhi?'
'...'
'Thanks...And you know? You're really like a girl sometimes...'
I heard him gulp. Then silence. I smiled and closed my eyes and dozed off into dreamland.
~Mizu's POV~
I sat up in bed and stretched. I saw that everyone was already getting ready. Even Ryu was already putting on his dress shirt and tie. 'Ryu...' I yawned. 'Why didn't you wake me up?'
He smiled and looked at me. 'You just looked so cute when you're sleeping so I didn't wake you.'
I pushed the blanket away and stumbled off the bed. 'Well, I'm going of to have a shower.' I glared at the twins. 'And don't you two dare come near the bathroom!'
The twins sniggered as I closed the bathroom door behind me. I heard Ryu's muffled voice next. 'If the two of you so as to take even one step towards that door, I will make sure that you'll live to regret it.'
I covered my mouth to stop myself from laughing out loud. Ryu's acts of kindness were so awkward sometimes...
Once I finished my extremely nice and refreshing bath(from crying a lot last night) I changed into my school uniform and ''departed'' the bathroom. Then I froze. Hikaru and Kaoru were having one of their famous ''brotherly love'' scenes in the room. They had heard the bathroom door open and had gone from ''shivering and cowering in fear'' mode to ''hyper overdrive extensive brotherly love'' mode. Ryu rushed over to me and covered my eyes as soon as he saw me. Haruhi was covering his eyes with his hands too. Thw twins, seeing that there was no more fun since Ryu had covered my eyes, stopped their brother love act and had gone on with preparing for school.
'Hey Haruhi! I need help with my English homework!' Hikaru yelled.
'Hey Haruhi! I need help with my Japanese homework! Kaoru yelled.
'Why didn't you two finish your homework yesterday?!' Haruhi snapped back. I covered my ears to block out their insane yells. Ryu, having removed his hands from my eyes, saw that I was affected by the trios screaming, went over there and threatened to hit them if they didn't shut up.
All three of them immediately sat down and kept their mouths shut to avoid Ryu's horrible wrath.
~Normal POV~
I awoke to find myself in Takashi's arms the next morning. 'Eep!' I shrieked and pushed myself away. Takashi opened his eyes and yawned. Hani popped out from nowhere, as usual. 'Ah, Yu-chan! Takashi! You're awake!' He giggled. I didn't want to wake you two 'cos you looked so comfortable together!'
Takashi and I turned beet root red. I looked at him and he looked at me. 'Um...Um...' I mumbled.
'Hey hold on Haruhi!' Kaoru's voice came from upstairs and the five first years came down the stairs. I heaved a sigh of relief and said a silent thank you.
Ryu and Mizu came up to us. 'Ohayo, nee-san. Ohayo Mori-senpai, Hani-senpai.' They bowed respectfully while Haruhi was trying to get away from the Hitachiins, who were trying to fit a bow on his head.
'Um...' I pointed at Haruhi. 'Why are you two trying to put a bow on a boy's head?'
Just then, Tamaki and Kyoya appeared out of nowhereWhy does everyone keep on doing that?!.
'Yumi-senpai,' Kyoya said as he adjusted his glasses. 'Since you and you're siblings are now in the Host club, we have to let you in on our little secret...'
The twins pushed Haruhi to the middle of the grand room and a spotlight magically appeared.
'Our dear Natural type of the Host Club.....' Hikaru and Kaoru said.
'Is actually a GIRL!' Everyone but us three chorused. We turned as blank as a sheet. '...' I was lost for words.
'Yumi-senpai?' Tamaki asked.
'...'
'Yu-chan?'
'...'
'Nee-san?'
'...'
The twins waved their hands in front of my face and that brought me back to reality. 'Whaaaaaaaaaat?!!!!' I screamed so loudly that the birds around our mansion all flew away.
'What's all the ruckus about?' Dad came staggering out of his room, rubbing his eyes.
'Ohayo, Otou-sama,' Mizu and Ryu bowed yet again.
'Oh what respectful children I have!' And with that, he was swinging Mizu and Ryu around like dolls.
Hikaru and Kaoru whispered to each other, 'Hey, doesn't Kago-sama remind you of someone?'
'Yeah, Kaoru...'
Then they started laughing. 'Yeah! He's just like Highness!'
I hate to admit it, but I had to agree with them.
I looked around but something caught my eye. 'Hey, Ryu...' I said after dad put him and Mizu down and pointed to the thing he was holding. 'Why're you bringing your old kendo sword to school?'
'I heard that there was a kendo club at Ouran, so I want to try out.' he told me casually.
'Ah! Ryu-chan! What a coincidence! Takashi here happens to be Japan's national kendo champion!' Hani bounced on me.
I groaned with the burden on my back. 'Whaaaat?!' I screamed again.
Takashi looked at me with a guilty look on his face. 'Um...sorry I didn't tell you Yumi,' he scratched his head. 'I didn't think it was important.'
'Not important? How can being a national champion not be important?!'
He shrugged. I cooled down. 'Nevermind.'
~Mizu's POV~
I watched Ryu kneel down in front of Mori-senpai with his kendo sword in hand. 'Mori-senpai! Please allow me to join the kendo club!'
Mori looked at him with his emotionless eyes. 'I wouldn't mind you joining, but I'll have to check with my younger brother Satoshi, who is the current captain of the kendo club. He's in his third year of middle school and your junior by one year.'
Ryu bowed his head. 'Thank you Mori-senpai!'
He got up and looked at me and we shared that moment for a while. 'But, Mizu...You...'
'It's okay Ryu, I can always watch you during the kendo club, can't I Mori-senpai?' I looked to Mori-senpai.
He nodded. 'Good,' Ryu and I looked at each other again....and smiled.
~Normal POV~
I watched Ryu and Mizu share their twins' love moment, then directed my attention at Takashi. 'Hey, Takashi...'
'Yumi...' He cut me off. 'I'm sorry about not saying anything about the kendo thing...You're not mad are you?'
I chuckled. 'No, of course not. But I just wish that you had told me even though you didn't think it was important...But,' I looked up into his eyes. 'Let's have no more secrets between us now, promise?' I handed him my pinky.
He intertwined his pinky with mine. 'Promise,' he repeated. Then we shared a long smile before dad said something about us going to be late for school if we didn't hurry and get changed. So we sped through washing up and breakfast and we all dashed out the door. And I mean ALL of us...at once. Good thing that our mansion has big doors...
But inside myself...I knew that the bond Takashi and I shared was growing stronger...
Was that okay? The ending's a bit weird...sigh. Well.....PLS REVIEW!!! Review like your life depends on it! Please?! :P Chap 5 will be up soon...soon as I clear my head of this writer's block. Bye till then! :P
