Hot chocolate

Chapter 20

I was still walking with Zmeya and Shiloh. We were walking at a reasonable pace. "Od ew llash tahw (what shall we do- Zmeya spoke backwards English so they couldn't understand us)?"

"ginklaw peek tsuj dloush ew. Nuf rethar ti tcepsus I. (we should just keep walking. It will be fun)" I grinned, highly amused. Zmeya rolled her eyes, but looked amused also, as did Shiloh. It was pitch black, and the street was bright from the street lights. "You know, tis' rather rude to follow someone." I grinned, turning around swiftly. Tamaki jumped and hid behind Kyoya. The twins, Haruhi and Honey both jumped also. Haruhi then sighed. "I did say it was a bad idea, but they wanted to see where you lived, and they kind of dragged me along..." Haruhi trailed off. Tamaki then came out from behind Kyoya, and had a warm, bright smile on his face. "Can we see where you live, ladies?" He asked, attempting to be seductive. Zmeya, Shiloh and I snorted, and began chuckling to ourselves. Tamaki looked somewhat confused. "What's so funny?" He asked. "I am no lady." The three of us giggled at the same time. 

"Yeah you can come in, it's just around this corner." I said. We all then made our way to the apartment. We turned left, and were greeted by the sight of an apartment complex. We walked up the stairs, and stopped at the door three doors down from the stairs. I got my key out, and unlocked the door. I opened it slowly for dramatic effect. Tamaki, Hikaru and Kaoru gasped as they saw the inside. "It's a dump." Hikaru commented. Kaoru nodded in agreement. 

"Don't like it, bugger off." Shiloh stated. Kaoru and Hikaru looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. "I'll go make some hot chocolates." I said, as I made my way inside. I heard Shiloh squeal excitedly. "You always make the best hot chocolate!" Shiloh said. I rolled my eyes and sighed. I then saw Kyoya right some notes in his notebook. I opened the door to the living room, and said, "Please make yourselves at home. Drinks shouldn't take too long." I held the door open, as everyone walked in. I put a door stop on the door, as to allow me easy access. I walked down the small corridor, and opened the door on my left. I made my way to the cupboard, and got the cocoa powder. I then went to the kettle and started heating it. Fancying cookies, I started to make the batch, and put them in the oven. I heard the kettle boil, so I made my way over to the mugs. I made the hot chocolates(not forgetting the marshmallows) and placed them on a tray. The cookies were also done, so I placed them on a plate and on the tray also. 

I picked up the tray, and went to the living room. Tamaki, Kaoru and Hikaru were harassing Haruhi (as per usual), but surprisingly Honey was having a friendly discussion with Zmeya and Shiloh (especially surprising with Zmeya). I placed the tray on the coffee table, and sat on the plush sofa between Kyoya and Mori. "Please, dig in." I gestured towards the tray, smiling. Honey's eyes widened as he saw the freshly baked cookies. I handed Mori and Kyoya their drinks, and finally got my own. Everyone else took a mug, and started drinking from it. Shiloh sighed contently, and everyone's eyes seemed to widen. "This hot chocolate is amazing Athena!" Exclaimed Honey. 

"I agree." Stated Kyoya. Mori just nodded.

"This is nicely made, for a commoner at least." Hikaru added. Shiloh and Zmeya looked at each other, and burst into laughter. They were practically crying because of laughing so much. Kyoya raised an eyebrow quizzically and inquired, "What is so humorous?" Both of them stopped laughing, as I gave them a warning glance. "Nothing!" Shiloh denied, raising her hands defensively. "It's just that we highly doubt that someone such as Hikaru could make something as delicious as that." Zmeya quipped.  It was obvious to me that it was a white lie. Although they did think that, it was not the reason why they were laughing. Kyoya sighed, and let the matter drop. "Athena these cookies are amazing!" Honey shouted gleefully. It was then my turn to sigh. "Thank you for the compliment, but I really don't think I am worthy of such praise." I stated. Kyoya then began writing in his notebook. "Writing more names in your Deathnote, Light?" I asked. Shiloh burst out laughing, and Zmeya was barely holding herself together. "I am merely writing notes I may find useful at a later date. And my name is not Light." Kyoya simply replied. I sighed. "I know Kyoya, it was only a joke."I said.

 Realising how late it was, I asked the club members, "Do you want to stay overnight? I know there isn't much room but I'm sure we can work something out." I looked towards the rest of the group. Zmeya was about to protest when Shiloh elbowed her in the ribs. Slightly winded, she glared Shiloh. "If it's not too much trouble." Kyoya responded. The rest of the club nodded in agreement. "OK there are 4 bedrooms. Zmeya, Shiloh you can share one room with Haruhi. Mori and Honey can share one also, as well as Hikaru and Kaoru share one, and Tamaki shares with Kyoya. " I suggested (it was Friday).

"But where will you sleep?" Kyoya asked. 

"I'll just sleep on the sofa. I don't mind. Anyway, we all better get ready. Pyjamas are in the wardrobes. " I stood up, and headed towards a bathroom to get changed. I got a quick shower, and dried myself. I put on some pyjama bottoms and tops. I brushed my teeth, and got out of the bathroom. I headed towards the living room, blanket and pillow in hand. "Night everyone!" I shouted. I laid down on the sofa and closed my eyes. I was drifting off when I heard a knock at the door. I yawned, and made my way to the front door. I undid the chain and unlocked it. I opened it, and was met with an unexpected sight. It was Alucard. "What are you doing here Nosferatu?" I inquired.

"I thought I would just stop by and say hello." He grinned widely. 

"And what of Integra?"

"The police girl is watching her." He answered.

"That's good. Would you like to come in? We'll have to be quiet though. People are sleeping." I opened the door more, and allowed him to enter. I closed the door, and showed Alucard to the living room. He sat down on one of the armchairs as I sat on the sofa I was going to sleep on." Oh, how rude of me! Would you like a drink? But don't get any funny ideas." I asked. He chuckled, and nodded. I quickly but quietly went to the kitchen and got two glasses. I filled them with scotch whiskey and ice. I went into the living room, and passed him one. He took it, and began sipping it when I sat down n the same place as before.  The door slowly opened, revealing Kyoya in his bed wear. He looked at me, and blushed slightly. "Ey' up Kyoya. I'm surprised your up. Sorry if I woke you up. Anyway, this is Alucard. Alucard, this is Kyoya." I introduced. Alucard stood up, and offered his hand. Alucard towered over Kyoya, which I though was rather funny (even though I was shorter than Kyoya, meaning Alucard was even taller for me). Kyoya took it, and they shook hands. Kyoya then sat beside me, notebook in hand.

"Now, what is a little boy like you doing in a young woman's home, not to mention said woman is single?" Alucard quirked an eyebrow in amusement.

"I was offered a place to stay for the night as it was late. And I am no little boy." He replied. Alucard merely ignored the last part, and asked me, "How do you know him?"

" If you really must know I am... Shall we say in his debt. Shlioh and Zmeya broke a vase, which I might add was stupidly placed, which was worth 100 million Yen, which is £695,800." He whistled. "So you're a rich little boy, how interesting..." Alucard trailed off, smiling his signature smile. Kyoya adjusted his glasses, clearly agitated."Play nice Alucard." I reprimanded Alucard playfully. "Why, what are you going to do?" He asked, equally as playful.

"Three words: Wooden. Spoon. Attack." I replied. Alucard chuckled, trying to hold himself together. Kyoya quirked an eyebrow, also amused. "Oh no, whatever would I do if I was attacked my a wooden spoon?" Alucard teased. Kyoya's shoulders were shaking, as he was stifling a laugh. "I have you know that wooden spoons can be very deadly." I joked. There was then another knock at the door. "You didn't tell me others were going to come." I said to Alucard. 

"I didn't know myself." I sighed, and walked to the door. I opened it, and almost fell backwards in surprise. It was Claude.
