Succubus Ties #1 (Ouran High School Host Club)

Chapter Nine: The Prophecy

"Oh my God, this apartment is smaller than Haruhi's," Hikaru and I say together, earning a glare from both Haruhi and Athena.

"Well, excuse me for not wanting to live 'The life'" Athena snaps, clutching her teacup so hard that it shattered in her hand. She looked at her bleeding hand and cursed, standing up and heading into the kitchen.

"Wow, it must suck having inhuman strength," I muse.

"Being a Succubus must suck," Hikaru puts in.

"Speaking of inhuman strength and Succubi, Kaoru are you an Incubus," Kyouya asks, looking over at me, his glasses shimmering in the sunlight coming from the open window. There was only one four rooms in this apartment: one bedroom, bathroom, lounge room and bathroom. There was only one window in each room, and sunlight dappled on the floor from those windows. Haruhi's apartment had at least six rooms, whilst the rest of us had more rooms than we can count.

"Yeah," I answer, not seeing the point of lying. Kyouya nodded and wrote something in his black book, giving me the urge to pluck it out of his hands, rip it apart and set it on fire.

Wait - where are all these thoughts coming from?

"So, if you're an Incubus, does that make me one?" Hikaru asks. I shook my head and told him what Athena told me - which I still didn't understand myself. Hikaru's face went white, and just when I thought he was upset that I was a supernatural creature with awesome powers and he wasn't, he breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Hikaru?"

"I'm glade that I'm human," he says. "I love you Kaoru, but after seeing what Athena does, I don't want to be like that."

"Are you calling me a whore?"

Hikaru's face pales. "Uh ... not exactly."

"Hikaru," I hiss, glaring at him. Hikaru looked like he wanted to jump out of the window.

"Don't worry Kaoru, you aren't a whore. Yet," Athena says, coming back with a bandage wrapped around her palm. I looked at that, confused.

"Can't you heal yourself?"

"Not without feeding on someone's Chi."

I jump up and walk over to Athena, wrapping my arm around her. "Which one of you would like to sleep with Athena so she can heal?"

"KAORU HITACHIIN!" Athena yells, slapping me on the back of the head, causing me to face plant onto the floor.

"OUCH!"

"I do not need to have sex to heal myself," she says, glaring daggers down at me. "I can easily heal myself with a kiss!"

"Than let Daddy kiss you and make it better," Tamaki says, jumping up and rushing at her. Athena palms him in the face, causing him to fly against the wall.

"Athena is even more scary than Haruhi is when she's angry," Hikaru and I whimper, cowering with our arms around each other.

"Wait, am I the only one who's alarmed about what the Warlock said?" Haruhi asks.

"Which one? She's said a lot," Hikaru and I ask.

"What she said to you Kaoru," Haruhi says.

"Of course I'm alarmed; wouldn't you be alarmed if someone asked you for sex?"

"No, not that," Haruhi says, obviously annoyed.

"Than what?"

"About there being both Light and Dark in your future," Kyouya finishes what Haruhi was trying to say.

"Thank you."

"I think we should be more alarmed about the fact that I was turned into a donkey!" Tamaki exclaims, having recovered from being thrown at a wall. There was a giant crack in the plaster where he had hit, and Athena was grumbling about how much it will cost to fix.

"You turning into a donkey wasn't alarming Boss; it was hilarious," Hikaru says, causing Tamaki to sit in his Corner of Woe. I nod in agreement.

"What do you think it means?" Haruhi asks.

"Kao-Chan could have to pick between light chocolate and dark chocolate!" Honey exclaims (only Honey could come up with that).

"I think it has nothing to do with chocolate Honey-Sempai."

"Well, it's obviously something to do with the Fay," Kyouya says, continuing to write in his book.

"Light and Dark," Mori whispers, thinking hard.

"Oh my God, he can speak," Athena says, having recovered from the shock of the damage done to her wall.

"Maybe something to do with the Light and Dark Fay?" Hikaru offers.

"A love triangle with a Light Fay and Dark Fay?" Tamaki adds pensively. He recovers from those things quite quick.

Athena looks uncomfortable with that and I grab her hand from behind our backs. She squeezes my hand affectionally.

"I don't know," Athena says, closing her eyes. "I guess only time will tell."

"So what do you think the prophecy - if I can even call it that - actually is?" I ask later that night after everyone went home. I had decided to stay back so that I can talk about it more with Athena the Fay expert, as Hikaru had put it. But somehow I knew he knew something more than he was letting on. I have a very observant twin.

"No idea," Athena answers, resting her legs over mine. "Something both Light and Dark. Maybe it's a battle between the Light and Dark Fay?"

"But what has it got to do with me?" I ask.

"No clue, and the Light and Dark Fay have been at peace for over five hundred years. It must be something else."

"Can't we just ask Caitlyn what she meant?" I ask, mentally shivering at the thought of seeing the crazy Warlock again.

"No can do," Athena answers. "She never remembers what she says afterward."

We stay silent for a while before Athena moves to straddle me, her hands resting on my chest, feeling my heartbeat. I raise my eyebrows as she rests her head on the crook of my neck. Her hair tickled my nose so I patted it out of the way.

"Finally we can have some time to ourselves," Athena breaths, caressing my cheek as she looked at me.

"You know, when you said you would give me to Caitlyn I thought you were serious," I said sheepishly.

"Of course not. I never give away my man to another woman." And as if to prove her point she leaned forward to press her lips against mine. I somehow found myself laying on my back, Athena straddling my chest as she kissed me harder. I pushed her off me and said, "feed on me so you can heal yourself."

Athena stares at me shocked before she smashes her lips against mine again.
