Here Comes a New Hostess

Chapter 5: Can't I Just Sleep?

“Hibiki!” Hikaru and Kaoru growled in unison trying to pull me out of bed

“Nooo…” I mumbled into my pillow

“Let’s go!” Hikaru yelled pulling my leg

“I don’t wanna…” I groaned

“Fine then.” Kaoru said like he had a plan of getting me out of bed and left my room with Hikaru

“Sleep…” I cheered sleepily snuggling my face in my pillow

~A few minutes later~

“Hibiki…” Hikaru hissed

“There’s a visitor…” Kaoru hissed with him

“I don’t care. I’m sleeping…” I mumbled

“You don’t want to see me, chibi?” I heard Kazu pout

“Of course I do…after I sleep for a few more hours…” I mumbled again

“What do you mean a few more hours?!” Kaoru yelled

“It’s 2 in the afternoon!” Hikaru yelled

“So?” I said plainly before hearing whispering, and then my legs were being pulled again

“Let go!” Hikaru and Kaoru yelled

“I don’t wanna!” I screamed, but my fingers were pried from the bed frame

“I win.” Kazu smiled

“Traitor!” I yelled before being dragged into my closet by my brothers. They picked out my outfit and got the twin maids to force me into it despite my protests. When I came back out I was dragged into a limo with Kazu and my brothers, and glared at all of them.

“If you’re so mad at us…” Hikaru started

“Just go back to sleep.” Kaoru finished

“I’m sleeping on you then…” I mumbled towards Kazu and was knocked out in seconds. When I woke up again I was on a sofa in some unfamiliar place, but it wasn’t the place that got my location…it was the coffee.

“Coffee…” I groaned sounding like a zombie

“See, we told you she’d wake up…” Kaoru started

“If we just made her some coffee.” Hikaru finished

“Why didn’t you do that before? It could’ve saved you all that trouble.” Kazu said not getting my brothers’ logic

“Yeah, but it’s more fun messing with her.” They shrugged

“Can’t argue with that.” Kazu nodded in agreement

“Where am I?” I asked trying to get an answer out of them before they started sharing ideas

“Karuizawa. Haruhi is working for a pension here.” Kazu explained

“Oh…” I giggled sipping some of my coffee

“Did you hear about the contest?” He asked sitting on the chair next across from me

“What contest?” I asked tilting my head to the side

“The contest to get the room upstairs. There’s only one, so everyone’s fighting for it.” He explained

“You aren’t?” I asked

“Nope. It’s more fun watching everyone else work for it.” He chuckled with a toothy grin

“So, this is why I love you.” I giggled

“Looks like Kyoya-senpai isn’t going to compete either.” He said turning around to look at him

“You two really stick together don’t you?” Haruhi laughed in a completely different conversation with my brothers

“Always.” Kaoru said

“The two of us have been together since birth. We haven’t really needed anyone else.” Hikaru said and I flinched at the statement as if he was hitting me across the face

“Well, that was before we knew you.” Hikaru laughed

“So, it was Haruhi…” I breathed

“What are you talking about?” Kazu asked trying to redirect my attention to him

“They changed and I wasn’t sure why. Out of nowhere they started becoming more and more social, but not like this. When we had gotten into high school, they seemed more relaxed, but once Haruhi came to the school…it seems more real. The plastic melt off of their faces and it was because of Haruhi…” I smiled as my eyes softened at Kazu

“So, she helped them become more human?” Kazu clarified

“Yup, and in a sense. You helped me come alive the same way she helped them.” I smiled kissing him on the cheek

“Thank you.” I whispered into his ear before walking inside and sat there thinking about everything that happened when someone started playing the piano. Tamaki-senpai was playing on the grand piano in the living room while guests ate and sat around.

“You cheated…” I giggled to myself, but stopped when I head a crash outside and ran out to see what had happened

“Kaoru!” I heard Hikaru gasp

“Are you guys okay?” I said worry showing through all my features

“Don’t scare me like that…” Hikaru sighed resting his head on Kaoru’s shoulder

“I see what’s going on here…” I giggled leaning on the doorframe and crossing my arms over my chest

“What are you talking about?” Kazu asked from behind me

“Just watch.” I grinned turning back around and giggled at Misuzu’s dancing on the rooftop

“The victory goes to…the Hitachiin brothers!” He sang

“I don’t think Tamaki-senpai will be too happy about this…” Kazu sighed

“I guess I’m sleeping here tonight…” I sighed

“Kaoru, get off!” I pleaded gasping for air

“W-What?” He said finally waking up

“You’re…heavy…” I said finally pushing him off of me

“Hikaru…” I hissed glaring at him still sleeping

“Wake up!” Kaoru yelled at him while I went to go get changed

“I didn’t mean it!” Hikaru whined when I came back

“Both of us though? Really?” Kaoru sighed

“I almost died!” I said overdramatically

‘I’m starting to sound like Tamaki-senpai…’ I thought bitterly to myself

“Morning, chibi.” Kazu smiled

“Hi, Kazu~” I sang giving him a short peck on the lips

“I have a feeling that it’s going to be a long day…” Kazu sighed

“Why?” I said taking the book he handed me and feeling my face drop when I got to a certain rule

“I’m guessing you found it?” He asked taking the book back from me

“I have to wake up…at 6AM…?” I hissed in Tamaki-senpai’s direction letting a dark aura surround me

“Don’t kill him, okay chibi.” Kazu said pulling on my sleeve while I shot daggers at our soon to be dead king
