"I was told she'd be arriving sometime in the afternoon, probably after lunch" Haruhi replied, while she ignored Tamaki's rambling beside her.
"Haruhi! I need to know, should we give her special access to the club room or treat her as more of a customer!" The blonde shouted, and Haruhi finally gave him the attention he was seeking.
"She's going to be around me basically all the time, so special access. But don't act so loud all the time around her. I was told she's not the peppiest person around" Haruhi said.
Honey averted his attention away from the strawberry topped cake he was eating. "So, is she like Neko-chan?" Honey asked, referring to Umehito Nekozawa, the president of the black magic club.
"I'm not sure, Honey-senpai. All I was told was that she isn't all that energetic and loud. I was probably told that because you're known for being obnoxious, senpai" Haruhi said, and was looking back at Tamaki.
Tamaki was sulking in the corner. "Daddy doesn't like that word..."
Haruhi ignored him again, and the Hitachiin twins were sitting by idly, just listening to the conversation and thinking. Hikaru looked at Kaoru, and both had mischevious little smiles on their faces.
"This commoner sounds quite interesting. What do you think, Kaoru?" Hikaru said to his brother, and Kaoru nodded his head.
"She does. I think we've just found ourselves a new toy~" Kaoru said happily, and the twins joined the rest of the club as they piled out for lunch.
~After lunch, back in the club room~
The boys were waiting for Haruhi to come back. She was currently down in the office, claiming her foreign exchange student, while the host club boys were told to stay in the club room during this time. Honey was eating cake, just minding his own business and waiting patiently alongside Mori, but Tamaki on the other hand was anxiously pacing back in forth.
"Don't forget men, we need to treat her with respect and watch our words! This girl is from a completely different continent, and who knows how her Japanese will be. It could be atrocious! Just sit back, and try to make sense out of it, okay?" Tamaki said loudly, with his hand raised and his finger pointed upward.
"Senpai, we already know. Besides, if she couldn't speak Japanese all that well, why would they let her come to Japan on her own?" Hikaru said, and Tamaki went blank.
"Well... maybe they... felt sorry for her...? Or something..." Tamaki tried to make sense of it, but the subject changed when Haruhi finally walked in.
Behind Haruhi, a girl that was dressed in dark gray jeans and a dark red shirt, with a nametag stuck on saying that her name was "Anne Foster." Her hair was a cherry red, and her eyes were a shade of light green with gold specks in them. She looked around at the large room and sophisticated furniture, making it quite obvious that this was out of her element. Tamaki fluttered over, and held out a rose to her. He spoke in slow Japanese.
"Hello, Anne. I'm Tamaki Suoh, the president of the host club" He said, and smiled as she took the rose, not noticing her hesitance.
"Hello" She said simply, and stared at the red rose in her hand.
Tamaki wondered if she had ever even seen a rose that close before. "Let me introduce you to the host club members! This is Kyoya" He said, and gestured toward the black haired boy typing on his computer again. While Tamaki was distracted, Anne put the rose in a vase nearby with other roses in it.
"This is Mitskuni Haninozuka, and this is Takeshi Morinozuka~" He said, and Honey senpai bounded over with an uneaten slice on cake.
"Hi! You can call me Honey~ Want to share some cake with me?" He gave her a big smile, and was balancing Usa-chan on his shoulders.
"Um... yeah, sure" She took the cake, and before she could take a bite out of it, Kaoru came up behind her and tapped her shoulder, and while she wasn't looking, Hikaru swiped the cake off the plate and ate it quickly.
Tamaki flailed his arms. "Hikaru, Kaoru! That's no way to treat a guest!" Tamaki shouted, and the twins just smiled innocently.
"Who are you two?" Anne said, giving them a weird look, mostly because she thought it was pretty rude to swipe a piece of cake like that. She loved cake.
"This is Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, the twins of the host club" Tamaki said, and watched as the twins both stood in front of her.
"Yeah, we're twins. Have you ever even seen twins before in your life?" Hikaru said and leaned down, she was about Haruhi's height, only an inch taller.
"Yeah, I have" She said and crossed her arms. She took a step back, not liking the way the twins got right in her face.
The twins both looked at each other, and then back at her. Before they could speak, Haruhi stepped in front of Anne. "You guys, knock it off, would you? Treat her with some respect, alright?"
The twins took a small step back, they never really liked it when Haruhi raised her voice. It reminded Hikaru especially about the time when she had slapped him in Karuizawa. Without another word, the twins looked bored and walked to a nearby couch, and Hikaru took out a small game and played while Kaoru watched from over his shoulder.
Haruhi sighed, and turned to Anne. "Sorry about them. They really need some getting used to"
Anne smirked. "I can see that. I think I can take them, though" After all, she had to take on much worse people, with much worse personalities than these rich kids.
