A Slice of Heaven, or Hell?

Okay, okay, I have some apologies to make. First, I just realized it's Hitachiin, not Hatachiin.

Second, I read through my first chapter and solemnly swear to take more time on editing! My gosh! Sorry.

Thirdly, for updating a little tardy. I think I just got lazy.

Anywho, thanks for all the reviews! I loved some of the ideas and might toy around with them (That twister one was awesome. Just the idea of it cracks me up.)

So, yeah, here's Chapter Two!

Drabble no.2: Whaaa, can't wait for Ep. 21 of Ouran! Hikaru and Haruhi trapped in a net! I hope you guys are looking as forward to it as I am!

Chapter 2

The Devils up their Game

Kaoru stretched back lazily before deftly grabbing Haruhi's hand and standing up, "Ne, ne, Haruhi! Lets play a game!" He grinned playfully at her, pulling her to her feet.

She went reluctantly, her lips forming a flat line, "What kind of a game?"

Hikaru stood up elegantly, draping an arm around her neck casually, "Hmm… How about red light green light?" He asked with a raised brow.

Haruhi gave a sigh, "You know I'm not into games like that… they're little kids' games anyway."
Kaoru smiled at her, entwining his fingers through hers in the hand he still held, giving it a gentle squeeze, "Well, how about… TAG!" He laughed, using his free hand to lightly tap the end of Haruhi's nose. The twins jumped back from her in unison, grinning at her.
Haruhi gave them flat looks, folding her arms, "I'm not playing." Simple as that…
Kaoru pouted his lips at her, "C'mon, Haruhi, at least try to have some fun."

She closed her eyes, unmoved, "No."

A thought flashed through his mind… "Well, the sooner you play, the sooner you get to eat that fatty tuna…"
Like magic, her eyes clicked open, thoughtful. The twins' eyes widened in anticipation. Haruhi gave a slow, sly smile, "Fine, fine…" And then, with a quickness the Hitachiin brothers didn't expect, she lunged forward to tap Hikaru, "Tag!" She called, grinning foolishly.
Hikaru stood there, quite taken a back for about a second before he grinned in return, taking chase. Haruhi started to run, smiling widely. For someone who didn't take PE, she was really rather fit, dodging 'round Hikaru when he got too close. To their surprise, she seemed to be genuinely enjoying it; even laughing a few times when she made a narrow escape.

"You'll have to try harder than that, Senpai!" She cried once she had made a ridiculously good side step. Naturally, Hikaru had missed on purpose, but feigned disappointment. He had a mission and he was damned if he was going to mess it up. Besides… it was fun watching her laugh and smile at him…
Kaoru was laughing too, running around with them, also nimbly escaping Hikaru's attacks when he occasionally aimed at him. They caught each others' gaze, the message in their eyes clear. This was a victory for them; getting Haruhi to actually enjoy some of the time she spent with them. They simultaneously turned to look upon their own private princess laughing and having fun, their smiles widening.

Eventually, Haruhi started to tire out, her pace and breath becoming more rugged.
Hikaru gave one of his Cheshire smiles and ran around her, coming to tag her from in front. She saw him coming and made to make a dash around him at the last minute when he was almost in touching distance, though, got herself caught up in her own feet, tripping backwards. She made an instinctive grab at anything to keep herself upright, snagging Hikaru's arm. Funnily enough, he fell with her, hands landing at either side of her head, sprawled lightly on top of her. For a moment, he looked down at her, eyes flashing a hint of lust, his breath coming in soft pants from running, brushing her cheek. Slowly, he bent his head down, softly pressing his lips against hers, holding their kiss for a small moment. He then brought his head back up, his mouth caught in a slight smirk, "Tag…"

Haruhi blinked, eyes wide at him, lips slightly parted. "S-Senpai…"
With expertly practiced timing, Kaoru called out to them , "Neee, Hikaru! I'm getting cold!"
Hikaru pushed himself off of her, leaning back on his heels, "Alright, alright. Lets head back inside."
He held a hand out to Haruhi, who took it dazedly; still not sure what to make of the situation. She stood up, patting her dress down, frowning at the few grass stains she had on it. This was one of the few dresses she liked too…
Before she knew it, the twins had linked hands with her, walking side by side back to the house, late afternoon shadows making patterns on the dappled grass.

Once again, Haruhi found herself alone in the guest room. It was almost time for dinner and the twins had left her to get changed into her dinner outfit. She unenthusiastically walked to her bed and opened the package. Well… she supposed it could have been worse.
She slipped out of her casual clothing, tugging on the dress she had been left. It was a rich orange, the colour of the setting sun, with a lot of lace and add-ons. The neck line was modest, but covered in delicate frills to give the impression of a bust that didn't exist. At the hip, it flared out a little to aid her waist, the hem falling flawlessly at her feet. She wasn't an expert on material, but it felt comfortable, sitting nicely on her frame. She smiled to herself, fiddling with the lace cuffs. In short, it was a cute dress. She looked back at the paper, realizing she had been left a length of orange ribbon for her hair too. She shrugged and tied it over her head in a bow, the loops stylishly placed by her right ear. She hated to admit it, but she actually quite liked the look.
Shortly after, she heard a knock on the door, the maids opening it, "The Masters request that you come to dine with them." They spoke in unison, gesturing her to enter the hallway. She nodded, glad to comply, as for once she had been spared the harassment of being dressed by them. Hikaru and Kaoru were waiting at a luxuriously styled table. When she entered, the both caught their breath, blushes spreading to their own faces. She looked amazing… stunning… so incredibly cute. The way the dress flowed when she walked, creating a lady-like sense of movement as she crossed the room to the table, the ribbon bobbing up and down with each step. They shook their heads, speaking in unison, "P-Please, take a seat." Motioning to the table. A divine white table cloth graced the flawlessly polished wood, candles placed on it an equidistance apart. Haruhi was seated in-between them, finding it odd that they were all sitting side by side on the same side of the table. A plate was placed in front of each of them, she noted, but there were none placed for their parents.

As if reading her thoughts, the twins spoke in synchronous timing, "Mother and Father said they would be back late tonight, and that we should eat without them. They're sorry they couldn't be here to meet you, though."
Kaoru smiled at Haruhi with innocence, "At least this way, we can talk however we like without pointless small talk, right?"
Haruhi blinked at him, "Well… I suppose so…"
It was then that the butlers entered with food, placing platters on the table, lifting the lids to reveal gorgeously arranged sushi. They had all three kinds, from the kind rolled in seaweed to the kind with the toppings placed on an immaculately square bed of rice.
Haruhi could feel her mouth watering, eyes widening at the vast amount of choice. "Where to begin?" She mumbled softly, as though in a dream. Hikaru deftly picked up a piece with his chopsticks, turning to Haruhi, "Here, this one's your favourite; Ootori."
Before she could object, he had popped it into her mouth. She chewed it once or twice, amazed at the intense sensation it sent her taste buds. The texture was fantastic; everything she had imagined Ootori should be. How could she possibly go back to normal tuna after tasting such a delicacy!
She swallowed, smiling happily, "D-Delicious."The twins shot each other winning grins behind her back, Kaoru leaning towards her, "So, I take it you're enjoying yourself here?"
Haruhi smiled at him, nodding, taking another piece of Ootori sushi. "Yeah, I am."
"Perfect…" The Hitachiin brothers spoke, returning her smile.

When Haruhi had eaten her fill, she sat back happily, a content smile gracing her face, "This was the best meal I've ever had…" She murmured, closing her eyes. "I couldn't eat another bite."
The twins placed their chopsticks on their plates, also leaning back, "Mmm… it was delicious, wasn't it, Hikaru?" Kaoru looked over at his brother. He nodded, stretching lazily, "Yeah, I wouldn't mind eating that every day." He yawned, shutting his eyes and spoke on queue "But, now I'm a little bored… what are we going to do?"
He peeped a look at Kaoru through one of them, who placed his index finger on his chin in cute thoughtfulness "Hmm… well, I've been researching commoner games again… why don't we play one of those?"
Haruhi sighed, "No more baby games, Kaoru, please…" She muttered sourly, eyes still closed.
Kaoru smiled slyly at Hikaru, "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that… this game's called 'The Pocky Game'. Have you heard of it?"
"It vaguely rings a bell…" Haruhi opened a suspicious eye at Kaoru, sitting up straight.
He grinned at her, "Great! I've been wanting to try Pocky for a while, ever since you started introducing us to all these commoner foods."
Hikaru stood up from his chair, his younger brother following suite. "C'mon, lets go play in the living room."

The servants had already lit the fire place. The mansion didn't really need one, as the room was far too big to be heated up by a small fire, but it created a good atmosphere. Hikaru sat down close by it, Kaoru sitting beside him, placing his arms around his shoulders, "Ne, ne, Oniisan, why don't you explain how to play?"
Hikaru nodded, producing a packet of Pocky, ripping off the cardboard tab to reveal the two separate silver wrappings that encased the chocolate Pocky.

"There's a slight change, however. We've devised our own way of playing it." He took one of the packet and ripped open the top, revealing the chocolate sticks, "We'll play the Pocky Game as a penalty. It'll be quite simple, though. Basically, we'll ask you trivia questions about one of us at a time and if you get it wrong, then you have to play with one of us. I assume you know what you do with the Pocky."

Kaoru gave an innocent smile, "I know, lets do a demonstration for Haruhi!" He spoke, pulling out a stick of Pocky. He placed one end in his mouth, Hikaru taking the other end in his. They began to munch their way to the end, gradually getting closer and closer to the middle where they would meet, slowing down as they did so. Before their lips met, they parted, Hikaru popping the last bit of Pocky into his mouth. Kaoru smiled at Haruhi, "See, really quite easy."

She narrowed her eyes a little, "And why would I play that?"

The elder twin raised a finger, giving another Cheshire smile, "Simple. If you get just one question right, we'll stop playing games for the rest of the evening."
She paused to consider this for a moment, before sighing, "Very well, what's the first question?"
The two beamed at her, Kaoru piping up, "What's my favourite food?"
Haruhi frowned. What a broad question… it really could be anything… Her frown increased as she thought, finally deciding upon, "Uhm… ramen?"

Delightedly, Kaoru called out, "Wrong! It's Curry!" He grinned, taking a stick and placing it in his mouth. Reluctantly, Haruhi took the other end, eating her way to the middle ever so slowly. She looked at Kaoru, his eyes locking with hers. She watched his face get closer and closer, 'til she could feel the warmth of his face, his breath coming softly. This time, their lips met, locking a little more solidly than the last kiss she had received from the other Hitachiin. Compared to his brother, Kaoru's kiss was more gentle and caring. Slowly, he withdrew, smiling at Haruhi nose to nose before moving back next to his brother; the victim still blushless.

"Next question!" Cried Hikaru gleefully, Pocky stick already at the ready, "What's our star sign?"

Oh crap! Haruhi thought, gritting her teeth. She had no idea when their birthday was, let alone what days of the month fell under which star sign. She should have known it would be useless to play against them, it was like winning lotto. Though the prize was big, the chances of winning were very, very, very slim. "L-Leo?"

"Wrong!" The twins chorused happily, now Hikaru's turn to try and make the fair maiden fluster. Like his brother, he placed the end of Pocky between his lips impatiently, Haruhi again doing the same. Hopelessly, she look ahead at Hikaru, who looked somewhat hungry, deep down in those auburn eyes. He started chewing, Haruhi slowly copying. Inch by inch, the came to the center, Hikaru placing a hand gracefully on her cheeks as he did so. He took her by surprise when their mouths met, his kiss deeper; contrasting the gentle peck he had given her earlier that day, his hand holding her in her place. When she didn't react, he gave her bottom lip a daring, but gentle little nip. Still, she didn't blush, Hikaru pulling back. Even though he hadn't gotten a reaction out of her, he had felt her first initial surprise, allowing himself a small smirk.

Before she knew it, Kaoru had draped himself over her shoulder, holding a bar of chocolate that had seemed to have had appeared out of nowhere. He broke of two pieces, still attached to one another, "I think Pocky's boring... this'll make it much more interesting…" He purred, placing the two connected piece in her mouth. She didn't have time to object before she felt his lips pressed to hers, enveloping the piece of chocolate sticking out of her mouth. Ever so carefully, he bit down on the hollow holding the segments together, leaving their mouths with a piece of chocolate each. He expertly pulled the bite into yet another kiss. Kaoru took his time, holding the kiss, moving his lips gently against hers. He was careful to keep it passive, yet applied some pressure, giving her the best of both worlds. When he pulled back, he gave her bottom lip a slow lick, "You still had some chocolate on them…" He spoke in hushed tones, licking his own lips to catch any smeared chocolate. He chewed on his piece, swallowing it triumphantly and sat back, flicking a look at Hikaru. It now seemed like a competition between the two, Kaoru's look obviously saying 'beat that'. To his even greater delight, he was rewarded with a soft blush on Haruhi's cheeks, the dazed look returning to her face as she swallowed her chocolate. For the twins, it wasn't enough. They couldn't stop there. They craved more, as though they needed it to live.

------------------------------------------------

Sozz, felt like a good place to stop there. In reality, I typed this up in three hours, otherwise I probably wouldn't have a chance to put it up 'til Sunday evening x.x And that wouldn't be cool. I suppose this chapter is to say thanks to those people who stuck it out for chapter one. I really appreciated the reviews for such a lousy first chapter. I hope this one lived up to your expectations! I'll probably read this in a few days and go: 'Ohmygosh! It's so unbelievably crap! Why are people reading this!' So I'll understand if you don't think it's great. I didn't exactly edit it a lot x.x It's also late… but enough excuses…

I just realized this is only the first day! I wonder what weird things I can come up with for the rest of the time she's trapped in the Hitachiin house…

Thanks again for all the reviews and I really hope this chapter meets all your standards.
