Creak
A startled girl with teal eyes and midnight hair looked up. The room was as dark as her hair and she laid down on her bed. A laptop as infront of heer.
"Sango? What are you doing?" The girl returned to her clicking.
"You know very well what I'm doing Makoto." Makoto enter his sister's bedroom.
"I don't see why you're doing this."
"Because she's my best friend. I want her to be happy. Besides, they are soulmates. Fate brought them together. I'm just helping."
Makoto rasied an eyebrow.
"That's all?"
"That's all."
"Well, I say you are lying." he flopped down on his sister's bed, cross-legged.
"Wanna bet?"
"Yeah. I bet my freedom." He and Sango played poker and BS all the time.
"No way. We made a deal. I won that round and you have to do this."
"Fine." he grumbled.
"But as payment, you must tell me the truth. Is it because you feel responsiable in the first place they quote-on-quote 'broke-up'?"
But Sango was fast asleep. Makoto sighes as he picked-up his sister's limp body and placed it under her sheets. He took off her glasses and put then on her bedstand.
He was about to close and save all her documents when he clicked on the last one.
A girl wearing frills and pink shirt stood there. Her arms folded and a smirk on her pale lips that read 'Bring-It-On'. Her dark ash hair gleamed in the spotlighrs. Her pink eyes seemed to glow life and rebellion. Her expression and posture was a total contrast to the clothes she was wearing.
Makoto smirked.
'Maybe this chick will be tougher to crack.'
He scanned down the page, learning everything about her from her blood type to her personality to her favorite color.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango peeked her eyes open. She watched as her brother looked at Sayuri's file.
'All is according to plan...' Sango sighed and drifted off to a well deserved sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
'I can't believe Hikari and Sango ditched us...'
Somethings up. I can feel it.
'Well if you feel whatever I feel, how come I can't feel it?'
Ummm...
'Say anything and I will kill you.'
Bu-
'Don't even-'
Thunk
"Itta..." Sayuri groaned as she was sprawled against the tiled floor. She looked behind her and spotted her high-top black converses untied. She groaned and laid back on the floor.
The hallrom was as silence as death. This was the time of day Sayuri enjoyed most. A period in which she was at her happiest for this period signaled school was almost over. A block in which we call Study Hall. Usually people were in the library or at a club.
But in the meantime, Sayuri was stuck in limbo. She couldn't go to the library because there was so many kids and getting peace and quiet in the Third Music room was out of the question.
Sayuri sighed as she pressed her forehead to the tile floor.
"Whatcha doing?" a male voice whispered in her ear. Sayuri jumped three feet in the air.
A boy about her age was crouching next to her. His dark blonde hair slid into his face with his light celery eyes glistened. His smile was bright and he gave off a 'Boy-next-door' feeling. Any normal girl would have swooned and fainted on sight at the sight of his smile.
But then again, Sayuri was no normal girl.
Sayuri sat up and gatthered her skirt around her legs.
"Waiting for a mircale."
"Well, I was hoping for the same thing. I then bumped into you." he murmured, giving you a sly smile. A normal girl would have grabbed him and hugged him on the spot.
But as said before, Sayuri was no normal girl.
"Um dude, I just met you."
"Haha! Just kidding!" he rubbed his head nervously. He gathered her books and placed them into her waiting hands.
"Arigoto. My name is Cho Sayuri." She extanded her hand.
"Watanabe Makoto." he shook her hand.
He must be somehow related to Sango.
'Maybe, but then again, isn't Watanabe a common surname?'
Good point...
"Nice to meet you. See ya around Cho-san." he flashed a smile and jogged off in the other direction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Third Music Room?" Makoto held a small paper that had that saying scrawled across the top.
'This is definatly Sango's writing.' the boy rasied his eyebrow in amusement.
'If she would stop writing with that computer, she might actually stop failing penmenship.'
He pushed open his door, his messenger bag at his side. A couple of petals were flung at him, smacking him in the face.
"Welcome fair maiden to the Hos-" Tamaki stopped.
"You're not a fair maiden."
"I can see you're top of your class." Makoto muttered.
(Ironic part Tamaki is 2nd in his class...for now...)
Makoto saw 5 males standing around a couch. A pair of twins, a guy with glasses, and a tall bleach blonde hair guy.
"But anyway, what is your type?"
"Now, I'm not here for the service. I was hired to be a host."
"NANI?" Tamaki's mouth dropped.
"My apologizes Tamaki. I agreed for him to join us for he'll bring us a lot of money." Kyouya never looked up from his computer.
"What? How can this guy bring us money?" Though Makoto was handsome alone, he was average compared to everyone else.
"Do you know who he is?" Kyouya pushed his glasses up further.
"Umm...no."
"Let me. My name is Watanabe Makoto." He extanded a hand. Tamaki didn't grasp it.
"So?"
"That's my real name. But I go by Ace Spades." Tamaki's mouth dropped.
"Y-You're Ace Spades?"
Ladyofpacific: You used Ace? Mylinh: Yep. His pen name was orginally going to be that. But when I wrote the me- oh, nvm. I don't want to spoil our story to the readers yet.
FQT: I want to know!!
Mylinh: Don't worry! Time will tell...
Mylinh: SQT? Are you going to eat your- SQT: *takes out huge katana* Don't even think about it.
Zzzzzz... Mylinh: Okay, we're going to wake-up if it's the last thing I do.
"Who's Ace Spades?" Sayuri walked out with an apron on, wringing her hands in a small towel. Her usual braid of hair was twisted and clipped behind her head. A smudge of chocolate was placed on her right cheek and a bit of flour in her bangs.
"Hey Watanabe-san!" She smiled and waved.
"Hey Cho-san! Call me Ace or Makoto. Preferablely Ace."
" 'kay then Ace-kun. I'll call you that if you call my Sayuri. Everyone else does. But how did you get Ace from Makoto?"
"Oh, Makoto is my real name as I was saying. My pen name is Ace Spades."
"Why do you have a pen name?"
"My dear daughter!" Tamaki stood infront of Sayuri defensely, "Ace Spades is a notorious lady killer. He is smooth, cool, and has mastered the art of pleasing ladies. He's from the counter host club in England. Daddy forbides you to date and/or interact with him."
"I kinda can't do that."
"NANI? You dare to disobey your father?!"
"No, it's just since he's now in the club, I kinda have to talk to him."
Tamaki anime fell.
"Oh, right. I-I knew that."
"Sure you did..."
"Sayo-chan? Come-on! We still have to make the frosting!" Honey squeaked from the kitchen door.
"Gomen, the kitchen wench must go back." Sayuri skipped back. Ace looked after where Sayuri stood.
'I'm starting to like Step 2...'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok Honey-kun, if you could mix that." Sayuri poured over the recipe book while trying to mix the eggs at the same time. She then felt the bowl being taken away.
"Na- Oh arigoto Takashi-kun!" Takashi nodded and began to stir.
"Um...Sayuri?" Sayuri's head looked toward the doorway toward her name.
"Oh, hey Ace-kun! I forgot to introduce each other. This is Mitsukuni Haninozuka. But we call him Honey-senpai." she ruffled Honey's hair.
"And this-" She put her hand on Takashi's shoulder, "Morinozuka Takashi aka Morin-senpai."
"Wait, Honey-senpai?"
"Hai! He's one year older than me." Honey looked at Ace cutely when a sign below him read: Actually 18.
What is with these signs?!
"So anyway, what to help us?"
"H-Hai." Ace nervouosly accepted the bowl and spoon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SPLAT
"Gomennasi." Ace winced as half the batter fell out.
"That's ok. Let me just-" Bot Sayuri and Ace leaned down to fix it when-
THUNK
"Itta!" they both yelped. Sayuri clutched her forehead while Ace clutched the top of his head.
"Gomen Ace-kun." Sayuri rubbed her head.
"Gomen Sayuri-chan."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Takashi watched as the two smiled innocently at each other.
"Awww! They're so kawaii for each other!" Honey exclaimed secretly to Takashi. Takashi felt a small twicth deep inside his stomach. He shrugged it off and contiued to stir.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Finally! We're done!" Sayuri threw everything in the sink and wiped the bit of chocolate on her cheek.
"Ok then everyone. Let's get ready for our customers!" SAyuri smiled again and flaunted out the room.
"Is she always this happy?" Ace looked at Takashi. His face was emotionless.
"Alrighty then..."
"Here, let me help you Sayuri."
"No, that's ok Ace. It's my job-"
"I insist." Ace took the heavy tray from Sayuri. He gave a flirteaous smile. Sayuri didn't notice.
"Arigoto! I'll be right back ladies and gentleman." Sayuri respectfully bowed. There were twice as much fangirls than usual due to Ace. Apparently, he's pretty popular. Fangirls everywhere had at least one poster of him.
Tamaki was depressed while Kyouya was smirking. Takashi was unreadable and Honey was indifferent. Haruhi didn't really care.
Sayuir went threw the double doors to the kicthen.
'Step 2 may be harder than I thought.' Ace thought silently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ugh...my feet hurt." Sayuri moaned. She collasped on the red velvet couch with Takashi and Honey at her feet.
"Sayo-chan do you want Bun-chan to sit next to you?"
"That'd be great Honey." She smiled at the Lolita Shota as he placed her old stuffed bunny next to her.
"So Sayuri, you're dad is the owner of the resturant 'Haru Yuri'?"
"Hai."
"Now I know the 'yuri' (lily) comes from your name, but where does tha 'haru' come from?"
Sayuri smile faded a little.
"My mother's name. Her name was Chiharu*. She used to call me Yuri-chan. (aka Lily-chan)"
"Oh I see." Sayuri laid back down and became quiet. Noise from the other memembers bubbled. After awhile, Ace was getting worried.
"Are you ok Yuri-chan?" The earth stood still after those words. Sayuri sat-up. Everyone went quiet at the look of pain flashed on her face, then replaced by false happiness. She stared blankly at Ace.
"Please don't call me that Ace-kun." Sayuri said, keepig her voice calm.
"Why?" Sayuri stood-up and grabbed her bookbag. On her way out-
"I only let people who I love call me that. Only one other person I allowed to call me Yuri-chan."
"Who was it?" Ace stood-up. Sayuri turned and flipped her hair causally.
"My mother." She quietly shut the door.
"What did I do?" Ace was uttery confused as Takashi went out of the room. Until he remembered the information list.
"God I'm an idiot..." Ace slapped his head and fell back onto the red couch. He felt 5 other prescences infront of him.
"Na- Oh. It's just you."
"You can't go around hurting Sayuri-chan like that." Tamaki threatned. He looked very mad.
"Yeah. We know you read the information about her and you knew not to call her Yuri-chan. She is still very sensitive about her mother." The twins had there arms crossed.
"Don't hurt Sayo-chan again." Honey stated still cutely.
"None of us can stand her getting hurt. She's been threw a lot..." Haruhi trailed off.
"Ok, ok. I'm sorry. I forgot."
"Don't forget next time. Oh and by the way. Stay away from Morin-senpai. He is still very protective of Sayuri-chan." Tamaki warned him as he and the others filed out.
"Why?"
"You should know already." The door slammed closed.
Ooooo! Ace is in trooouble! Takashi is going to beat the crud out of him! Right? Mylinh: Wait and see...
Mylinh:Are you going to eat your cook- SQT: NO ONE is going to take my precious cookie away from me...NO ONE Mylinh: *backs away*
Zzzzzz....Mylinh: *takes blowhorn and pushes button next to TQT ear*
TQT: Zzzzzz...stupid...fly...
Sayuri was curled up in the tree. Though many people thought she was very weird for doing this, her sancutary was a tree.
"Sayuri." a weight was next to her.
"Takashi-kun, why do all the people care about leave me?"
Silence...
"I mean, first you and Honey, then my Okaasan, then my Otoosan."
He ever so slightly cocked his head.
{Your Otoosan isn't dead.}
"He seems it to me. He isn't the same. He used to always be so overproctetive, but now I could be hanging out in some dark alleyway and he wouldn't care. He doesn't call me every night anymore just to be sure I'm okay. He visits me twice maybe three times a year and only for a day. I feel like he abandon me for his work. That's what he did with both me and my mom."
{What do you mean you lost me and Honey? We're still here. We'll always be here.} Takashi put a hand on Sayuri's shoulder.
"Arigoto Takashi." she whispered.
