Chapter 8
Authors Note
Hello everyone! Sorry I disappeared for such a long time but a lot has happened. My computer completely died on me so I had to replace the hard-drive! I lost a lot of important documents including this story and what I had written so far. I also started up school and I have a job now. Don't you peeps worry though I'm going to keep on posting (: and I might post more short clips of this story before I incorporate them into an actual chapter. I was also thinking about writing some different stories which would only be one or a couple of chapters long. What do you think? I was thinking about doing a poll to see what you guys might want me to write. That way I can continue writing this story and give you something extra so it doesn't seem like I abandoned you and keep you up to date with my progress and get more feedback from you guys. Anyways enjoy the PREVIEW of chapter 8
Warning this is NOT a complete chapter but a PREVIEW! An update to let you know I'm working on chapter 8
Chapter 8 Preview
Kagome lounged in one of the chairs sluggishly eating and staring off into the distance as she ate yet another plate of whatever Honey brought over to her a while ago. 'How many plates have I had' she looked over at the table that was right next to her 'not much' she thought sighing out of satisfaction.
'It really pays to squat- I mean to hang out with the Host Club'
Looking over towards the door she waited as she felt a presence on the other side of the door.
'I have a feeling today is somehow going to be tiring, hysterical, and perverted all at the same time…'
Looking over she noticed that the Host Club all got in their special positions to greet the guest.
"How did they know they had a guest?" Her eyebrow twitched.
"Mori looks good…"
.
.
.
"Put this brat in isolation!" Tamaki said as he pointed at Shiro
"You got it boss!" The twins said. A cage suddenly lowered from the ceiling trapping Shiro
"Oh my god! So I was right Tamaki really is a perv!" Kagome said loudly and made a show of studying the cage with apprehension. "Well, maybe more of a freak then I thought…"
"WHAT I'm not a pervert or a freak!" Tamaki yelled while waving his arms back and forth.
"Then why do you have a cage?" Kagome replied with a bland tone looking at Tamaki over her shoulder.
"Yeah where did it come from? This is suppose to be a music room right?" Haruhi said as she looked at the cage with blank eyes.
"Not you to Haruhi! You must know daddy isn't a pervert right?!" Tamaki said as he teleported before Haruhi and cupped both her cheeks with his hands. Haruhi grimaced at the sudden contact.
"Wow not only are you a perv but it seems like anyone will do right Shiro~" Tamaki looked up at Kagome then at Shiro before finally turning her gaze to Haruhi, the heavy implication clear.
"What no!" he yelled out loud "I don't like guys!"
"I bet he's the uke" Kagome whispered loudly, riling Tamaki up even more.
.
.
.
"Why did we bother with disguises, we stick out like a sore thumb" Haruhi grumbled
"oh theres a reason, a damn good reason"
"Isn't she the cutest" The twins said together as Honey pulled Haruhi with him.
"Oh look at her in that mini skirt". Tamaki's face turned a deep red as he peered around the corner of a door to look at Haruhi. "Haruhi looks like a little doll!" he finished.
"So basically you just wanted to see her dressed up like that" Kyoya said making Tamaki twitch.
"Ok thats just a whole new level of creepy" Kagome said making a repulsed face as she lowered a can of soda that magically appeared in her hand. "are you even allowed to be within a hundred feet of any school children?"
Tamaki choked at Kagome's comment but she continued "What is it with you and costumes anyways? Your the type of perv who likes to BLEEP with BLEEP and BLEEPING BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP in BLEEP BLEEPING huh"
Mori's hand covered Kagome's mouth as the rest of the Host Club froze at Kagome's foul words. Tamaki proceeded to melt while the twins unfrozen from their shock looked at each other unsure of what to say.
"moving on from that… Honey and Haruhi are not here anymore" Kyoya finally said
The group turned back to where Honey and Haruhi only to see the flashing outline of where they once were.
"Lets follow them!" Tamaki said recovering from his melted state.
The group moved forward after waiting for several small students to pass their hiding spot.
'They're so cute and tiny' Kagome thought as she looked at the students backs before the group hurried to catch up to Honey and Haruhi.
"I wonder what Mori looked like as a elementary student…" an image of a full sized Mori in a elementary school uniform had Kagome spitting out the contents of her drink on Tamaki as she burst out laughing hysterically making Tamaki yelp in surprise.
"Shut him up or he'll blow our cover". The twins tried to follow Tamaki's orders but Kagome was practically convulsing with laughter.
"Oh god he got his drink all over me! What is this anyways!…". Meanwhile Mori gave Kagome a blank look which had Kagome laughing even more.

Ok thats it for the preview... but heres some original content that I'm going to incorporate into the story! I might add more as I continue writing chapter 8 (: So enjoy!
-Why So Hungry?-
Curiosity getting the better of her Haruhi finally mustered up the courage to ask a question that had been bothering her for a while.
"Kagome why do you eat so much", Haruhi's question got Kagome to stop eating as she looked up at Haruhi
"I think the question she be more like how he eats so much" Kyoya quickly retorted.
Not bothering to say anything to Kyoya, Kagome quickly made a mental note to get revenge later, as she bit her lip as in thought about Haruhi's question.
"I don't know maybe because of habit?" Kagome said finally after some time. Seeing the confused looks she sighed as she tried to explain herself
"Well you see when I was in middle school I got caught up in some stuff"
"Gang violence?"
"Delinquency"
"Kidnapping!" Tamaki screamed out
"Cake!" Everyone paused as they looked at Honey.
"Anyways… no I got caught up in some important… family matters, which required me to take time off of school and travel a lot across Japan, often to very isolated and rural areas"
'Well thats not suspicious at all'. Thought the Host Club together.
"Often we would run out of food we brought with us and so we would have to hunt for our own food, on rare occasions going days without a good meal, while we traveled the country side"
"That sounds horrible!" Tamaki said as he shuddered at the thought of missing a meal. Kagome however didn't react to Tamaki's comment as she was to busy reminiscing.
"Is it just me or-" Kaoru began
"-does he seem happy" Hikaru finished for his brother
"Did anyone notice how he said 'we' " Kyoya said to the group as he was busy writing down what Kagome was saying about himself.
"That still doesn't explain why you eat so much" Haruhi said to Kagome, breaking her out of her train of thoughts.
"Oh yeah I guess. Well on the occasional times I came home or we caught a big meal I would eat a lot to make up for the times I didn't eat, so I guess when I finished my missio- journey I never lost the habit".
"Ok I guess that explains why Kagome is such a glutton"
"hey…!…" Kagome shouted lazily, to tired to try to defend herself against that particular comment as she eyed some cookies on a plate near her.
"but now we've got so many other questions that need to be answered" the host club said in unison as they all looked at Kagome as she rudely let out a big yawn ignoring everyone.
-Abduction-
Kagome was walking with Haruhi when suddenly Hikaru and Kaoru grabbed the brunette.
"Target-"
"-captured"
Kagome stood their with blank eyes as a limo pulled up and the window rolled down to reveal Tamaki.
'Well someone looks pleased with themselves' Thought Kagome as she looked at the effeminate blond.
"Wait! Help me Kagome! Do something!" The twins and Tamaki froze as they waited for Kagome's reaction. Pausing for a second after hearing Haruhi's plea for help Kagome acted,
"Wait. No. Stop…". Kagome said lazily without really doing anything else, not wanting to get to involved in Tamaki's stupidity.
Seeing Kagome's obvious lack of effort the Twins continued on with their abduction.
"You Traitor!" Haruhi yelled as she was stuffed into the limo. Looking away from where Haruhi was Kagome turned her attention to Tamaki.
"How envious you must be that you are not invited to our Host Club only trip" Tamaki said to Kagome one arm outstretched while the other was clenched at his chest.
"eh not really-" but Tamaki ignored her, to busy caught up in his inane fantasy to hear her,
"…and that Haruhi will be with us having a wonderful time-…" Slightly irritated by Tamaki's satisfied look and continued ramblings. Kagome watched as the limo started to pull away, smirking as an idea came to her she yelled at the retreating limo,
"Have a fun time on your trip! I'll keep your guests busy while your gone!" Kagome turned around and smiled as she heard the hysteric shouting of Tamaki despite the distance that was now between the limo and her.
"thats better"
-To The Beach!-
"Wait you want me to what?" She shouted at the Host Club
"We want you to come with us to the beach Kagome!" The twins spoke in unison while looking at her like she was stupid.
"Really I have a hard time believing that". Kagome said bluntly as she peered around Mori to look at Tamaki who had tears running down his face as he bit a cloth and proceeded to pull on it out of anger and saddness.
"Unfortunately since you took many of our clients it would be more profitable for us to invite you along for the trip, which would bring back many of our old clients" Kyoya said as he sat at one of the tables around the room, not bothering to look up while he talked.
"Thats your reasoning for inviting me!?" Kagome shouted somewhat offended.
"Isn't it great! We can play beach volley ball, swim, and hunt for seashells!" Honey said excitedly. "We three can even wear matching swim shorts". Mori blushed at the thought and Kagome gave Honey a puzzled look.
'Swim shorts? Oh yeah I totally forgot, no one even knows I'm a girl huh… well not like I've been purposefully hiding my gender, and I do love to swim…'
"sure I'll go" Kagome said smiling at Honey and Mori.
-Dream Come True-
"Hey Kagome!" Shouted Honey upon seeing her. Kagome turned around and smiled upon seeing her two close friends
"What are you doing?" Honey said looking up at Kagome.
"Haruhi is busy studying in the library so I was going to eat outside along the fountain"
"But the fountain is on the other side of campus? We're by the cafeteria." Honey asked confused. Mori nodded agreeing with his cousin
"Thats the entrance right there" Honey pointed to the doorway Kagome had been standing near before they had started their conversation.
"Oh really… hahah my bad I must have gotten lost…" Kagome awkwardly laughed 'I can't tell them I was here just to stare at the cafeteria food!'
The cousins looked at each other, neither one believing Kagome's explanation.
"Well we're going to the cafeteria to eat. You want to join us!". Honey asked Kagome excitedly. Kagome was silent for a few seconds, mulling over the proposition. Before she could say no Mori interrupted.
"Join us" seeing the silent boys intense look Kagome relented.
"Sure…" Kagome sighed out knowing that she would be envious of the two and everybody around her as they ate the delicious looking food the school served.
Quickly entering the cafeteria Kagome went of to get a table for the them, mumbling her intentions to her companions. Plopping down into a seat she waited for her friends while silently glaring at the people around her, who enjoyed the food she so desperately wanted to try but couldn't afford.
"You ok?" Mori's deep voice said to her, making her shiver and breaking her out of her heated stare. Looking toward the boy she saw his concerned look as he sat down next to her.
"Yeah I'm fine" she said as she looked at Honey as he sat across from them with his own meal, "Lets eat". The two continued to look at her for a few more seconds before turning their attention to their own food.
"Arn't you going to eat Kagome?" Honey asked after noticing Kagome still had yet to get any food.
"Hmm oh I am". Kagome replied as she began to dig through her bag and pull out some containers of what looked like home cooked food. Honey smiled his concern leaving him as he began talking to his cousin, however the two stopped the one sided conversation as did most conversation around their table as Kagome continued to pull out more and more food from her bag. A long silence continued to go an as people watched Kagome pull out large quantities of snacks and meals she had in her bag.
…
.
.
.
…
Kagome stopped pulling things out of her bag and looked at the assortment of food before her, her eyes narrowed as she looked at the items before her, she paused for a second then went back to digging through her bag
"THERES MORE!" Everyone watching Kagome shouted in shock, making Kagome look up from her search, finally noticing the amount of scrutiny she was under. Moving slowly she pulled out a final container of food along with eating utensils before slowly turning back to her food.
Still feeling the intense judgmental stares she finally couldn't take it anymore
"You got a problem with me say it to my BLEEPING face!" The shout scared all the students making them turn back to their own meals. Sighing in relief Kagome finally began to eat
'Its not like its that much…' she thought bitterly and slightly embarrassed.
Kagome looked to Mori and Honey who were both staring at her albeit Mori had a slight smile on his face. "Its not that funny" Kagome muttered to Mori who began eating.
"Do you always eat the much for lunch Kagome?" Honey asked curious.
"…" Honey and Mori didn't receive any reply from the black haired girl.
'Wait does that mean…!'
"Do you eat that much for every meal!" Honey shouted while he stood up on his seat in shock, catching the attention of everyone.
"…"
"Sit down Mitskuni" Mori said to his cousin as he paused in his eating. Honey noticing the look in his cousins eyes obeyed.
…
"Thanks Mori" Kagome said after some time without looking at Mori. Mori blushed at sincere look he received from the boy.
'He looks embarrassed' Mori thought before looking at his cousin as he began talking, with Kagome joining soon after. They continued to eat together but Mori stopped after some time after noticing something. Taking a plate of his food he slid it over so it was between Kagome and him.
Kagome looked at the plate then back at Mori confused.
"You were staring at it" Mori said simply. Kagome smiled upon the realization Mori was giving her some of his food. Taking the plate Kagome smiled excitedly as she finally got a chance to try the food after so long. Taking a bite she sighed out of contentment and a heavy blush took over her face. She placed some of her own food in front of Mori before taking another bite.
"Here! I made it myself" Kagome said smiling at Mori. Mori nodded unable to look Kagome in eye, unsure himself why he couldn't.
"And thanks Takashi"
Mori's blush deepened and the usage of his first name and he found he couldn't stop himself from smiling slightly despite his best efforts.
'He's never called me by my first name before'
-The Kendo Club-
Kagome wandered around looking for the Kendo Club as she got off of practice early. Mitskuni had invited her to see his cousin before they headed to the Host Club after hearing about her interest in the sport. Finally finding the clubs dojo she settled against a wall and watched as Mori practiced with his club members.
Watching him closely she certainly could see how he had become a national champion in the sport.
"If the girls at this school saw him right now they would be all over him" Kagome mumbled to herself
"he looks good…" Kagome trailed off as she watch Mori practice with his shinai
'He's got good form. Way better then Inuyasha with the Tetsuiga" thinking of her stubborn half demon friend and how he clumsily used his sword at times had her chuckling until a large shadow loomed over her. Looking up she was greeted by Mori's ever stoic face.
"Hey Mori" Kagome said brightly, not noticing the blush that covered his cheeks at the familiar way she said his name.
"You just finish practice?" Kagome said looking up at the tall boy, receiving a nod Kagome replied to Mori's unasked question.
"Honey invited me to come see you practice, so here I am!" Looking around the dojo Kagome examined the place. Noticing that his team members had left to go change.
"You were great out there! Perfect form and everything". Mori's blush deepened at Kagome's words, slightly embarrassed at the smaller boys praise but he also felt a nice warmth settle in his chest.
Looking back at Mori after a pause in the conversation she saw another questioning look.
"Oh are you curious about how much I know about kendo?" Kagome received another nod.
"Lets just say I have been around plenty of swords and other weapons in my lifetime" Kagome said in a playful but mysterious tone.
'What does that mean' Mori thought as he looked at Kagome 'Theres still a lot I don't know about Kagome'
Seeing the intense stare Mori was giving her Kagome finally caved in after a few seconds of silence. "If you really want to know, many of my old friends used to know some form of martial arts" sighing she looked around suspiciously before leaning towards Mori
"And I also live on a shrine so we have many ancient artifacts like swords and shakujōs" she whispered.
Seeing the surprised look on Mori's face she tilted her head to the side
"Shrine?" Mori said to Kagome
"Is it really that surprising?" Kagome said jokingly.
Mori studied Kagome imagining him in a priests outfit. The thought had Mori's lips upturning in a small smile 'cute'
Ignoring the weird look on Mori's face Kagome spoke out a random thought she had, "If you don't believe me your welcome to visit my Shrine". Mori head snapped back to look at Kagome in shock. 'Was he…'
"Yeah, why didn't I think of this before! Here give me your hand!" Still slightly frozen in shock Mori numbly gave Kagome his hand as the boy quickly shuffled through his bag and pulled out a marker.
"Ok here we go" Kagome said with garbled words while she had the markers cap in her mouth as she wrote on Mori's hand.
"Ok all done" Kagome smiled up at Mori who was still in a daze. Looking down at his hand he stared at the address Kagome wrote on his hand.
"Come on over any time and see for yourself that I really do live on a shrine! Just don't give anyone else in the host club my address. Especially Kyoya or Tamaki". Kagome shuddered at the thought of either one or both finding out her address. 'Oh the horror'.
"Honey or Haruhi are exceptions of course though" smiling to herself Kagome frown at the familiar feeling of her hunger pains.
"Anyways I'll let you get cleaned up, I'll be up at the Host Club". Mori nodded numbly at Kagome as she left still staring at the address she had given him. Walking to the Kendo's changing room he continued to look at the writing on his hand.
"Hey you ok Captain?" Said a voice to his right, questions followed from his other team members all asking if he was ok after noticing his odd behavior.
"Whoa is that a phone number?! Did some girl give you her number!" Said a voice and then his hand was grabbed and examined by several of his club members. Mori's face turned red and steam came off his head at the assumptions his teammates were making. 'It's an address not a phone number'
"Crap he got a phone number and a home address! Although I don't recognize the address…"
"Who cares! Who new that Morinozuka had it in him!". Mori ignored the cheers and whistles his teammates gave him as examined his hand puzzled at what they just said
'Phone number? Where?' Turning his hand over he tensed up at the numbers sprawled across his palm.
'Kagome gave me his phone number!' Mori thought frozen in place at the discovery.
"You ok captain? You don't look so good"
