((Chapter seven! ;D A bit of a more serious chapter, but that's alright. Um... The main focus will be on Jinx for this chapter, not much comedy or anything, though it is a bit important. Either way, since Chapter 7's up, Chapter 8 is just around the corner! ;3 Ah yes... Chapter 8... The ultimate in Ouran Host Club crack. Of course, I can't tell you what'll happen, but I assure you, it will be FANTASTIC :| so, read and enjoy! And comments pleeaaase? Otherwise meh muse may die and my fanfiction may 'poof' and no one wants a poofing Host Club.))
I leaned against a wall, watching as the Host's got ready for their guests. Yesterday had gone on uneventfully and like today, the Host's were taking a break from Cosplay and simply wore the uniform. This was my third day as the Host Clubs...er.......dog. Most of the preperations were food, drink, and mild decoration, which took virtually no time. Once that was done, they all most just hung around and waited for opening hour. Of course, this left plenty of time for the twins to try and annoy me, though I mostly just brushed them off today.
I was exhuasted. The day before, I'd been let out of my room to go to school without a problem. I wasn't so fortunate afterschool. Father had gotten home before me, since I was stuck with working for the Host Club, and I'd been in trouble again. I winced, stretching skyward as a dark purple bruise pulsed in pain with every movement, rolling my shoulders slightly to ease it. It was the worst of all the bruises I'd gotten last night. There were a few laserations here and their too, but overall, I ignored the pain. I was glad no one could see them under my black and white striped turtleneck shirt, which was quite large on me. Of course the twins still made me wear the dog stuff, but right now I didn't really care. I just felt tired and weak.
Before I could notice, Hikaru and Kaoru pounced on me from behind. I reeled in pain, nearly backhanding them. Of coarse, both were laughing their asses off.
"We scared you! Ah-ha!" Hikaru laughed, clutching his stomach like a reflection of Kaoru.
"You should've seen your face!" Kaoru joined in.
"I wasn't scared." I growled, barely resisting the urge to punch their lights out.
"Then what was with that face?" Hikaru purred, eyeing me mischeivously.
"You both landed on me. At the same time. It. Hurt." I snarled, glaring viciously. Exhuastion and pain plus twins makes a very irritable me.
I turned away sharply before they could say anything else, climbing onto the window and stretching my legs acrossed it as I crossed my arms, everyone but Kyoya watching me. I turned my head suddenly, glaring death and sending them off to other activities except Mori, who was uneffected by anything unrelated to Honey, and Haruhi, who seemed concerned.
I snorted with content before turning back towards the window, hearing footsteps approach.
"You okay?" Haruhi asked, moving to the windowsill herself when I didn't answer right away. I sighed a moment, letting my anger ease away.
"I don't feel that well, and those two idiots keep annoying me." I said, noticing my voice sounded about as drained as I felt. Haruhi's expression softened slightly as she tilted her head at me.
"Maybe you should take the day off." Haruhi suggested gently, studying me carefully.
"I'll be fine." I replied, waving her off. Haruhi's brows furrowed slightly.
"...alright..." She conceded, still not entirely convinced. She picked up on things like that really well, even when I didn't specifically tell her to back off.
After a while, the Host Club gathered and greeted their guests as they arrived. The two girls from before and a new one sat in chairs by my window again, asking questions.
"So, Jinx, where do you live?" One of the girls asked.
"Edge of Bunkyō." I said quietly.
"Oh, really? How do you get to school?"
"Walk."
"Wow, you walk here?" She swooned. I shrugged indifferently.
"Not that bad. It's only an hours walk." All three looked surprised.
"You walk an entire hour to get to school?" One asked skeptically.
"And to get home afterwards?" Another went on.
"Wow, that must be tough! I bet it can get annoying at times, too." The third added.
"Nah, it gives me time to myself. I can just listen to the wind, and think to myself." I replied. "It's nice and peaceful." I said as I narrowed my eyes thoughtfully, gazing out the window softly. Next thing I knew I was glomped.
"Ohhh, that's so adorable!"
I swear my hair was bristling with discomfort. Too much physical contact... I didn't like being touched, much less hugged by a rich highschool girl in a stupid yellow uniform dress with a creepy boy fetish... Not that I was a guy, but they thought I was.
"Please get off..." I wheezed, my face pressed unceremoniously into her chest and my face flushed candy apple red. I regained my lost breath as she let go, collecting myself. Not wanting to talk much or answer any more personal questions, I decided to switch things around a bit.
"How 'bout you tell me about yourselves?" I suggested.
"Huh?" The two from before gave me questioning looks.
"How come, Jinx-kun?" I tried to think quickly for something to say that was more convincing than my real reason. Putting on my most charming face, I said, "I want to get to know you all better." Of course, it worked. These high school girls were so gullible. I noticed Tamaki looking at me from his couch, albeit more subtly than usual. I was tempted to stick my tongue out at him in victory, but dared not break my facade.
"Oh, okay...um..." The girl in the middle thought a moment.
"Well... I'm Sachie...I live just outside Tokyo with my parents..." She said shyly, twiddling her fingers nervously. She was a girl with short black hair and dark eyes, a slender but somewhat tall frame, and a bright red hairband.
"...I also have a few cats...um...and I love flowers......my favorites are lilies."
"What kind of house?" I ventured, just to keep her talking.
"We live in a large house...just two stories or so...my father is a real estate business owner. My mother used to be a gardener and design yards and landscapes for other people before she passed away." Sachie said. "I'm looking to become a gardener like her." I nodded, already guessing that her mother was her reason for wanting to garden... Or maybe it was the other way around.
"Well my parents live across the sea in America." A blond girl who was obviously not Japanese boasted. "I have a house in the area, and live with my Uncle who moved here several years ago. He's an Attorney. My parents are famous Horse Breeders who've won international championships several times." She said pridefully, obviously full of herself.
"Hm.." I grunted as if I cared enough to listen. In the end, rich people were just rich people.
"Yep, you've no doubt heard of the Heartfeld family? I'm Rain Heartfeld, sole heir to the Heartfeld Fortune. So what's so special about you?" She asked almost venomously, turning to the girl who hadn't spoken yet. Talk about vanity...
"My parents just run a large chain of shopping malls across Japan. Nothing special." She shrugged. At least the two besides the Heartfeld girl were humble about it. I didn't like Rain in the least. She snorted contemptably.
"Oh, is that all? Who knew I was hanging around such lowely company." She sneered, the shy girl, Sachie, flinching slightly. Two could play that game.
"Rain Heartfeld, was it?" I asked.
"That's right." She boasted, lifting her nose to the air with twisted pride.
"And you said your family are famous horse breeder's, right?"
"Yep." She said with the same gestures. Of course, I'd heard of the Heartfeld's and their horses. They were world renouned,
