Deux

(A/N- for plot reasons Haruhi was too fast at learning for class 1-A, so she was put into class 2-A instead, with Tamaki and Kyoya)

Shun was right, the class went on an on forever. The only reason she wasn't in the same American Literature class with the boys was that she was put in advanced placement. However, she was certain the boys would pass this unit with flying colors, after all, they had learned this years ago.

"Miss. Takeo Shun, could you please read for Hermia? While she is a main character, English is one of your main languages."

"Hai,"

"Ootori-kun, please read for Lysander," Kyoya nodded, looking at the teacher. "Fujioka will read for Helena, and for Demetrius, it will be Tamaki. There we have our four lovers." The Sensai ordered.

Shun had read for Hermia the last time, she knew most of her lines by heart. Theseus and Hippolyta both had their discussion, and Shun didn't really focus until Theseus spoke to her. She instantly replied, "So is Lysander." It was a short first line, but it was enough to gage her performance. Everyone who was in the scene was standing and told to read with emotion, so that's just what she did.

"Yes he is, but lacking your father's blessing, the other must be thought the worthier."

"I wish my father could see through my eyes!" She cried out, remembering all the notes the drama teacher told her. God, Ms. Duffy was terrifying.

"Better yet, your eyes should see with his judgment."

"I beg your grace to pardon me. I don't know what has made me act so boldly, but let me ask your grace, what is the worse that can happen to me if I refuse to marry Demetrius?"

"Ether to be put to death, or to abstain from the company of men forever. Therefore, fair Hermia, ask yourself what you truly want. Could you stand the life of a nun?"

"I would, my lord, before I give my virginity to him!"

"Take some time to consider. By the next new moon-the day when my beloved and I will be joined in marriage-be ready either to die for disobeying your father's desires, to marry Demetrius, as your father wishes. Or else, you can go to the temple of Diana and vow to spend the rest of your life as a virgin priestess."

That is when Tamaki made his grand entrance...

"Give in, sweet Hermia. And, Lysander, give up your crazy claim to possession of what is mine." He screamed, burning with passion.

'He's enthusiastic, I'll give him that,'

"Her father loves you, Demetrius. Let me have Hermia, and you can marry him." Kyoya argued, not really in character. The whole class either laughed of oooo'ed.

"Rude Lysander, it's true, I do love him. And because I love him, I will give to him what is mine. Hermia is mine, and I'm giving my rights to her to Demetrius." Hermia's dad said, trying to not laugh while talking.

"My lord, I'm as noble as Demetrius, and as rich. I love Hermia more than he does. My prospects are in every way as good as Demetrius', if not better. And, more importantly than all of those things I just boasted about, beautiful Hermia loves me. Why shouldn't I be able to pursue my rights marry her? Demetrius-and I'll declare this to his face-wooed Nedar's daughter, Helena, and won her love. Now Helena, that sweet lady, obsesses, deeply obsesses, obsesses over this stained and unfaithful man, idolizing him as if he were a god." Kyoya said, reading the lines, but he didn't embrace the character.

"I must admit I've heard that too and meant to speak about it with Demetrius. But because I was too busy with my own concerns, I forget about it. But now, Demetrius and Egeus, come with me. I have some advice for you both that I want to give in private. As for you, beautiful Hermia, prepare yourself to shape your desires to match what your father wants, or else the law of Athens-which I can't modify or lessen in any way-demands that you either die or take a vow of chastity and never marry. Come along, Hippolyta. How are you, my love? Demetrius and Egeus, come with us. I have some work I need you to do regarding our wedding, and there's something that concerns the two of you that I want to discuss." Theseus replied.
