Entering Ouran High School
Chapter 14: They're You're What!
-x-x-x-
As soon as their classes ended, Hani dragged Mori towards the Class 1-A's classroom while happily enumerating the various cakes that he's going to introduce to his female cousin.
"Ne, Takashi. Which do you think would Kago-chan like better, a chocolate marble cake or a red velvet cake?" Hani asked enthusiastically while walking.
"Hn, probably both." Was the immediate response of the tall senior.
"You're right, I'll just give her both. And then, maybe, I could drag Chika to eat cake with us. You should bring Sato-chan too." Hani said, imagining how much fun they would have together. But then, he remembered that the rest of the host club would also be with them and giggled. "I wonder how the others would react once they realize who Kago-chan is to us… They'd probably be shocked, right, Takashi?"
"Ah…" was the non-committal reply.
With the thought of the reactions of their kouhais to the news of their relationship with Kagome, Hani continued to skip towards the first years' classroom.
-o-o-o-
Kagome and Haruhi have just finished packing their things when Hikaru decided to drag Kaoru over and said to the young miko, "Oi, can't you do something about him… He's been pouting about being the last to know about you. It's starting to get creepy."
Upon hearing his words, Kaoru began to protest, "I AM NOT POUTING! It's just, how come did Hikaru realized it before me?"
And before his twin could reply, Kagome answered nonchalantly, "Because your brother's an idiot pervert who can't keep his hands to himself while you're a sweet gentleman who knows how to treat women." And with that she walked towards the door amidst the shouts of,
"I'M NOT A PERVERT!" – Hikaru
"Hikaru, what did you do to Kagome?!" – Kaoru
"Sigh… I've no energy left to deal with you guys." Haruhi called to the twins before following Kagome outside the classroom. The two redheads, upon noticing that the two girls have already left, scrambled to follow them whilst being interrogated (Hikaru) and deflected (Kaoru) about Hikaru's so-called perverted actions towards Kagome.
-x-x-x-
Outside their classroom, the four first years were met with a cry of "KAGO-CHAN!" and a sweeping tackle from Hani and a curt nod from Mori. The small blond was talking a mile a minute regarding how much fun they would have at the Haninozuka Compound along with the number of cakes that they'll get to enjoy. Kagome listened to him attentively while Haruhi sighed and muttered, "So tiring…" The twins on the other hand moved towards Mori in order to escape the barrage of chatter that their blond senior was giving while continuing their prior argument.
"Hikaru, just tell me already!" Kaoru demanded.
"I don't have anything to tell!" Hikaru defended himself.
Looking unconvinced, Kaoru rebutted, "Then, why did Kagome call you a pervert? Hmm…"
Scowling towards their newest member, the older redhead muttered mutinously, not realizing that Kagome and Haruhi heard every word, "It's not like her chest is anything to be proud off. If anything, she's just a little bigger than Haruhi."
Gaping at his twin, Kaoru hadn't even had the chance to scold his twin when two black shadows closed in on his clueless brother. Deciding that it would be best to retreat, the younger twin motioned the two seniors away from the oncoming chaos.
Finally feeling the black aura, Hikaru looked over his brother and said, "Kaoru, what are you doing over there?"
"Hmm, just getting out of their way." Kaoru replied while pointing toward Kagome and Haruhi who were too busy approaching Hikaru to notice.
The older redhead looked at the two and gulped, "Ah, me and my big mouth." He motioned to run but was caught immediately when he bumped into a scandalized Tamaki and a glaring Kyouya.
The two girls smiled at them eerily and said, "Thanks sempai…"
Kagome approached first and said, "Saa… You were saying something about me earlier, eh, Hika-baka?" On the other hand, Haruhi hissed, "What was that about me, eh Hikaru?" and at the same time they said, "You're dead, " while grabbing a falled Hikaru and hitting him with a bag (Haruhi's doing) and pinching his cheeks in various directions (Kagome's punishment). They only stopped when Hikaru shouted, "Give up! Give up!" Happy at their victory, the two female members of the host club smirked at him and sauntered haughtily towards the school's entrance.
The rest followed with varying expressions of disbelief at their actions.
-o-o-o-
The ride towards the Haninozuka Compound was uneventful thanks to the fact that Kagome and Haruhi were riding with the two seniors who, apparently has enough brain cells to realize that antagonizing females is not good, told them about Haninozuka family (Hani) and nodding at appropriate areas of the conversation (Mori).
When they finally reached their destination, the group were met by and entourage of servants followed by the seniors' younger brothers Haninozuka Yasuchika and Morinozuka Satoshi, as well as the head of the Haninozuka Family. The younger members were surprised by such a reception and even more so when Hani's father looked towards Kagome with a smile and said, "Welcome, my dear niece… It's nice to finally meet you."
Manners settling in, Kagome bowed at the older man and replied, "A pleasure to meet you too, sir. My mother also sends her regards."
Haruhi finally having enough of the confusion asked, "Hmm, Kagome what's going on? Hani-sempai? Mori-sempai?"
Scratching her head sheepishly Kagome turned towards the stunned members of the club and said, "Ah haha… Please meet my cou…sins?"
Looking between a sheepish Kagome, a beaming Hani, a composed Mori, and the rest of the household, the Hikaru and Tamaki shouted, "They're your what?!" while Kaoru and Kyouya just muttered with a hint of relief, "So that's what their relationship was!"
"Eh… Surprise?" Kagome added as an afterthought before running towards her uncle and pushing him towards her friends saying, "Oji-san, you explain…" before turning to Yasuchika and Satoshi saying, "Hi, you must be Chika-chan and Sato-chan… Hani-sempai told me so much about you… I'm Kagome, by the way."
Leaving her uncle to explain the situation, the miko began to chat at her younger cousins who goggled (Chika) and grinned (Satoshi) at her rapid-fire speech. Meanwhile the rest of her friends, her elder cousins notwithstanding, listened at the explanation regarding the mechanics of how the Haninozukas, Morinozukas and Higurashis are related to each other while being guided towards the compounds guest receiving area.
