Las Mariposas Exoticas (Ouran High Fic) Chapter Three

Laughter and voices could be heard coming from the third music room. Hikaru walked in, late, and walked over to the couch where Tamaki sat.

Tamaki, at present, was talking to a young woman with brown hair, his hand upon her chin and his mouth only centimeters from hers. %u201CYour eyes are like deep pools of beauty, something I would feel honored to drown in.%u201D The girl blushed madly, averting her eyes to the floor as she answered him.

%u201CYou would be welcomed.%u201D She said shyly as she looked back into her prince%u2019s eyes, the women around them screaming and waving madly.

Tamaki soon noticed Hikaru%u2019s sudden presence and kindly asked the surrounding ladies to leave, who did with a little bit of reluctance. Once the horde of yellow was gone, Tamaki sat down beside his friend, whom was showing an expression of total misery. %u201CHikaru,%u201D he began with a broad smile, %u201Cwhat is the matter? You are late, after all, and do not seem to happy.%u201D

%u201CMy Lord,%u201D Hikaru answered back, slow and quietly as each word was filled with despair. %u201CWhat would you do, if Haruhi was being stolen away from you?%u201D

The blonde man wasn%u2019t ready for the sudden question and jumped slightly, his face turning a light shade of red. %u201CI%u2026I uh%u2026I would defiantly try to take her back, I am...uh%u2026I am her father after all.%u201D

%u201CAnd if%u2026%u201D

Silence. Tamaki sat waiting for him to continue. %u201CAnd if%u2026?%u201D

%u201CAnd if%u2026you were not sure words could bring her back, then what would you do?" Hikaru never once looked up; he kept his gaze to the ground and his hands clamped in his lamp.

%u201CWell, I uh%u2026I would defiantly take action. I would try my hardest to get her back any way possible!%u201D The Prince of Ouran High had a serious and heroic look upon his face and was about to stand when Hikaru spoke once more.

%u201CBut what if the person who was stealing her away was%u2026a woman?%u201D The orange haired young man hesitated slightly when asking this, not wanting to give the true origin if his questions away.

%u201CA%u2026woman?%u201D Tamaki asked, surprised at the sudden change. He loosened up and thought deep about his answer. %u201CI don%u2019t know exactly.%u201D He decided. %u201CI suppose I would still go after her, I being Haruhi%u2019s father after all, but I would never use rash action against a women. I suppose%u2026I would talk to her, perhaps I could persuade her in some manner or give her something in exchange for Haruhi, though Haruhi would get mad, me trading her like an object and all and%u2026Hikaru, are you listening Hikaru?%u201D Tamaki waved his hand in front of the dazed boy who, as a matter of fact, had gone into his own world.

The high school freshman suddenly snapped back to reality and, with his first smile in several hours, stood. %u201CThank you My Lord.%u201D He said as he began to race towards the doors.

%u201CHikaru%u2026wait! What were all the quest%u2026%u201D But he was never allowed to finish his sentence before the young man was out the door. %u201CHmmm%u2026I wonder what that was all about?%u201D

A smirk was plastered on the twin%u2019s face, one string of words running through his mind.

%u2026I could persuade her in some manner%u2026

Kaoru was roaming the halls, his hands in his pockets as he watched his feet. It%u2019s been a whole day and I still can%u2019t stop thinking of her. He scuffed his shoes against a stair railing and stopped, checking out the damage.

A minute passed and he stood, brushing aside some orange hair as he turned to go back to the third music room, when he heard something. It sounded like a beautiful song though it was not a piano, it sounded like a%u2026violin, cello, viola? Whatever it was it was very well played and caught his interest.

Kaoru made his way to a lone classroom, one that was no longer used, for the moment at least. He grabbed the doorknob and slowly and quietly opened the door, and as he did so music seemed to flow out through the passageway and into the hall. And what he saw before him took his breath away.

Nakamura Ayumi stood before him, holding a violin. The young man watched in amazement as her body swayed gently and her arm moved smoothly as she played the gentle notes. Her eyes were closed and needed not to scan the music before her. Her fingers moved swiftly upon the neck of the instrument yet they never seemed to disturb it%u2019s resting peace.

It took only a minute more before she finished her piece, and as she reached for the next she heard a voice from behind her. %u201CIt was beautiful.%u201D Not expecting company Ayumi jumped and spun around to see her visitor, but a chair got in her way and she fell backwards, no open hands to catch herself.

Kaoru saw what was happening and ran to her aid, catching her in his arms before even her legs could touch the cold ground.

Each was in a slight daze at what had happened, and as the startled papers fell to the floor Ayumi felt the need to speak. %u201CDon%u2019t you know how to knock?%u201D Was all she could ask as she looked up to Kaoru with an angered face.

He couldn%u2019t help but melt away at her expression, and being so close and holding her wasn%u2019t helping him. %u201CI%u2026I%u2019m sorry, I just heard music and thought I should see where it was coming from.%u201D

%u201CWell you could have knocked, or at least waited until I noticed you were here or something.%u201D Her face softened, as if she was explaining things to a child.

%u201CWell, you%u2019re very beautiful.%u201D Kaoru%u2019s face showed surprise and fear at what he just said. %u201CI mean, your playing is very beautiful.%u201D He said smoothly, a cover-up smile hiding his true feelings.

Ayumi began to laugh, softly at first and then gradually she began to laugh louder. A few seconds passed and she noticed she had a very confused boy staring down to her. %u201CSorry.%u201D She said with a smile. %u201CI just think that your little mix up was quite funny, since I am so used to hearing the opposite.%u201D Her body began to feel heavy and the violin and bow in her hands began to feel like fifty-pound weights as she realized she was still being held. %u201CUm%u2026Kaoru, would you mind letting go of me?%u201D

Kaoru blushed slightly and removed his hands quickly. %u201CSure, s%u2026sorry about that%u2026thud%u2026oops.%u201D He realized that he had literally let go of her.

Ayumi was on the floor, rubbing her bottom as she stood. %u201CI didn%u2019t mean literally!%u201D She nearly screamed at him as she confronted him.

%u201CI%u2026I%u2019m sorry, I didn%u2019t mean to! Honest!%u201D Kaoru waved his hands in front of him to protect himself.

%u201CHow can I believe that after Haruhi told me everything about you and Hikaru%u2019s tricks? You two are devious and this was probably planned out! Hikaru%u2019s probably right outside that door, laughing and taking pictures! Well, I%u2019ll give him something to take pictures of!%u201D She said as she lifted her violin like a hammer and her bow like a sword.

Kaoru leaned back as she stepped backwards. %u201CNo, really, I swear it! It was a total accident!%u201D He soon reached the wall and pressed up against it, willing himself to phase through.

Ayumi stopped once he reached the wall and starred him down, and after a few seconds of looking the frightened teenager in the eyes, she sighed and turned around. %u201CFine, I believe you.%u201D She said as she made her way back over to her stand.

Kaoru stood and watched her, making sure she wouldn%u2019t lash out at him suddenly. He watched as she picked up her music that earlier fell and placed it upon the stand once more. She positioned herself; legs spread slightly apart, left arm bent somewhat at a ninety-degree angle and back strait. She brought the bow close to the strings, about to play an open A for tuning when she stopped. %u201CAre you going to stay and listen?%u201D She asked Kaoru who was stilled pressed against the wall.

As he answered she played her note, tuning her strings with her left hand as she held the instrument between her should and chin. %u201CWould you mind of I did?%u201D Kaoru asked as he stood away from the wall, taking a few steps towards her and her hypnotic music.

%u201CNot at all.%u201D Was Ayumi%u2019s answer, %u201Cfeel free to stay. Although,%u201D She looked to her guest, finished with tuning. %u201CDon%u2019t you have that club to go to?%u201D

Kaoru shook his head with a smile as he sat down in a chair next to the stand. %u201CI%u2019m sure Hikaru can handle our designations by himself.%u201D

Ayumi shook her head with an amused smile. %u201CYou guys and your club.%u201D She placed the bow on a string and looked Kaoru in the eyes. %u201CReady?%u201D She asked.

%u201CReady.%u201D He answered with a smile.
