The Sisterly Type
Chapter 1:
Host Club
"Sachiko-San?" Someone called out.
"Sachiko-Chan?" Another called out.
"Sachiko-Nee." Someone called out.
"Sachiko-Hime." Another called out.
Yes, a lot of people added different honorifics to her name. She's not a completely new face for some people but she is new to Ouran Academy. She's the student who got a sports scholarship, yes, a sports one.
Sachiko, well – Leilani, really didn't want to talk to all these people.
No one would leave her alone though. People wanted to know if she would have sleepovers, share her life story, do makeup, do their hairs, share advice and help with homework, etc. etc. But she wanted to rest for a bit. It was still April, the first month of the Japanese academic year and she had already grown popular. She wasn't surprised; it had happen before. In London, California, Georgia, France and other countries.
Sachiko (or Leilani) was not only pretty, but inspiring for the other students. From a young age, she had been growing with her talents and skills especially in the sports and music section. However, sometimes she wished she hadn't. She doesn't like all this attention in less than a month. It meant that she would get no time to herself. Nor would she get to talk to Haruhi again. It had been a while.
As she heard her name continuously be called out, she finally turned around and smiled, dimples adorning her face, and asked, "Yes, sweethearts?" Her extra-long canine that were vampire-like showed as well, "Do you need me for something?"
A first-year scholarship student should not be getting this much attention already, especially for someone with her past. She got why Haruhi got the attention, but she doesn't want it.
The people who were calling her started to stutter and blush at the adorable show, "W-Well…"
"Yes?" Leilani pushed, starting to get a little annoyed. She pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.
It was a little hard to get her annoyed since she was someone who found a lot of stuff new and amazing. She was usually smiling or laughing or something. It happens every time she goes to a different country.
"U-Um, could y-you help me with t-the English h-homework. Y-You know, since I-it's your f-first language." One of the girls with pitch black hair asked her, looking at the floor.
"Of course, I will. Just tell me when and where." Leilani said, looking at the girl and walking up to her.
"I-I wanted to g-go to the Host C-Club after school, s-so can you c-come with me?" She asked.
Leilani looked at her face and realised who she was. Emiko Akechi, 1st-Year from 1-B.
"Of course, Emiko-Chan." Leilani replied, chuckling a little at the girl's blush.
One other thing, a lot of the students who got to talk to Leilani realised she was either like a little or older sister. Most first-years, whether older or younger than her, would address her as Onēsan or Onēchan. Most seniors and upperclassmen would address her as Imōto. She did act like a sister most of the times. So, why not?
"T-Thank you, Sachiko-Nee." Emiko said, before rushing off.
"Sachiko-Chan, can you help us all with our homework? Most of us are going to be at the Host Club anyway." 1-C's Hana Ajibana said.
Hesitantly, she nodded and then she was finally left alone.
Leilani huffed as she sat down. She doesn't want to visit the Host Club, they're just flirts and playboys. Well, apart from Haruhi, who's a girl for flick's sake! The Hitachiin twins had pestered her to come for the past week and a half, but she had quickly shut them down. And yet now she was going to go their stupid club room.
The bell, signalling the end of the day, rang and Leilani groaned. She had Gymnastics Club, yet it just had to be cancelled for today. Not: Sarcasm with the just had.
Meaning, she could just go straight to the Host Club. Something she didn't want to do but told the girls she would.
Quickly, she grabbed her chocolate-brown hair which had purple highlights, and tied it up in a high ponytail, before running to Music Room No.3.
She pushed the grand pink and gold doors open and almost choked on the red petals that flew into her face. Flailing her arms around, she got rid of them.
"Welcome!" Seven voices said in unison.
Her eyes snapped open to face six boys and one girl that dressed like a boy.
Hikaru Hitachiin, Kaoru Hitachiin, Haruhi Fujioka, Tamaki Suoh, Kyoya Ootori, Takashi Morinozuka, and Mitsukuni Haninozuka. They were all standing there and welcoming her. There were no other clients here yet and she wanted to kill herself at that moment.
"Sachiko, you came!" Hikaru and Kaoru said in unison.
Her left eye twitched slightly before she smiled kindly at them.
"Pardon my intrusion! But, I told a few girls I'd meet them here to help them with some work whilst they talked to you boys." She said, trying her best to maintain her sweet smile.
"Oh! You're Sachiko, the sports scholarship student! Everyone loves you!" Tamaki said, jumping up. Then he bowed down and pressed a kiss against her hand, much to her annoyance. "Welcome, Princess! What type do you prefer?"
"Neither." She quickly said, making sure he didn't elaborate.
Tamaki vanished into a corner and sulked.
"Sachiko-Chan, please wait over by that table whilst the other girls arrive." Kyoya said.
She shivered slightly and removed her smile. She walked over to the table and stood quietly.
"Tamaki, come back to your position please. The girls will be entering any time soon." Kyoya said, looking back at his classmate.
He did so and the doors immediately flew open again, roses flew everywhere with a soft breeze, and blushing girls walked in.
"Welcome." The hosts greeted them.
The girls followed their respective hosts to their tables and sat down to talk to them.
About four girls saw me and quickly rushed over.
"Sachiko-Nee, y-you came!" Emiko and Hana exclaimed.
"Yes, of course! I did tell you I would help you." Leilani told them, and out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Kyoya watching her.
"Will you help us now, or d-do you want have an a-appointment with a host?" They asked.
"I don't talk to these hosts. So, I'm free now." Leilani said, with a small smirk when she caught Kyoya's slight glare.
"Oh, that's great!" The four girls cheered and sat down in the seats at the table.
"W-Well, this isn't my table, so…" Leilani said awkwardly.
I did not think this through… She said, in her head.
"Oh." The girl said, sadly. "We really wanted your help…"
Almost instantly, Kyoya stood beside Leilani, startling her slightly.
"Sachiko-Chan can accompany you with your work at this table if that is your wish. We, the Hosts, do not mind if you all use this table today." He said, writing into his book.
Is that a Death-Note? Oooh, that anime/manga is so good! Calm it Lei… She thought.
"If you don't mind, I guess I don't either." Leilani said, sitting between the girls and proceeded to help them.
"Sachiko-Nee, can we ask some more of our friends to come? We didn't know if you'd actually show up so a few other people didn't show up here. They don't visit the Host Club, but they'd come since you're here." Hana said, getting out her phone.
Leilani just nodded and wrote down some notes for the students to work off.
Kyoya, Tamaki and the rest of the Hosts kept their eyes on the group in surprise. New guests would be coming just because of this one girl… And a first-year at that too.
Only moments later, the doors opened and three new faces entered and rushed over to where Leilani and the other girls were. Tamaki, being himself, started to cry slightly. They didn't come to him!
Kyoya, taking in the sight, wrote down some more in his notebook. Haruhi smiled to see her old friend here. Hikaru and Kaoru smirked, seeing their first plan was a go! To get the popular girl to attend was genius! She'll attract other people's attention. They thought.
After a while, it came to their realisation that the club was over and they led the girls out. The last one being the tutor – Leilani.
"Sachi-Chan~! You were really helpful today~!" Mitsukuni said, smiling up at her.
"Thank you, Honey-Kun." Leilani said, using her dimply smile. "Now, anyway boys, thank you for letting me use the table. I'll be leaving now."
She made her way towards the door, but Hikaru and Kaoru linked their arms with hers and dragged her back.
"Er, what are you doing, Hikaru-Kun, Kaoru-Kun?" She asked a little nervously.
"Sachiko-Chan." Kyoya said.
She gulped and faced him, "Y-Yes, Kyoya-Senpai?"
"You can call me using –Kun as well, you know? It's what you call all the boys at Ouran, right? So you can address me the same way." He started but then got more serious. "Today, our sales and customers had increased thanks to you. So, we wanted to ask you, if you'd be willing to join the Host Club?"
"Yes, Sachiko-Hime! With your charm and likeability, not only have you caught our eyes but everyone else's as well!" Tamaki said, dancing around her.
She sweat-dropped.
"N-No thank you. I participate in the Gymnastics Club and like it there very much." She answered Kyoya.
His brownish-grey eyes met her vibrant blue ones.
"According to my research, Gymnastics Club only lasts for around 30-45 minutes. Since you are advanced, you could shorten your time with them a little bit. After Gymnastics, you could come to the Host Club." Kyoya said.
"Still no." She said.
"And why would you decline this offer?" He asked, glasses glinting.
"Well, the only people I actually don't mind here is Mori-Kun, Honey-Kun and mostly Haruhi. Hikaru and Kaoru annoy me a lot, Tamaki's a plain idiot, and you're… you." She said, clicking her tongue at the end, with a small laugh.
"I do not understand why you still wouldn't take up our offer." Kyoya said, kind of annoyed at just being himself.
"Basically, I see no point in this club." She said, starting to walk away but the twins dragged her back.
Tamaki was struck and was crying in the 'emo corner'.
"Tamaki-Kun, I'm sorry if my words hurt you. But you'll have to do a lot more if you want me to join." Leilani said, feeling a little guilty.
Tamaki shot up and came up to her.
"Princess, if you were to join us, I would give you anything you want." Tamaki said, with his 'charming' smile.
"Anything?" She repeated, remembering the necklace she was currently wearing.
"If your promise to take good care of me, and not make very angry or upset with you guys, I'll join." Leilani told them, smiling only a little bit now.
The Host Club, excluding Haruhi, was extremely confused at her wish but nodded anyway.
"That is our promise to you!" Tamaki declared.
"Kyoya-Senpai, I'll join the Host Club." She said.
He nodded and started scribbling away in his black notebook.
"Ne, Ne, Sachi-Imōto, why don't you call Kyo-Chan, 'Kyo-Kun'? He said he'd fine with it!" Mitsukuni said, looking up at her with big innocent eyes.
"I'll call him that starting tomorrow. Now, do you need anything else, or can I go?" Leilani said, eyes travelling to Haruhi. "Oh, and Haruhi, you're coming home with me today."
Haruhi nodded and grabbed her bag, standing side-by-side with the blue-eyes 1st-Year.
"I know that we're all classmates…" Hikaru started.
"But, how do you know each other out of school?" Kaoru finished, grabbing Tamaki's attention.
The two girls laughed a little before sighing and answering, "We're best friends!"
"Na, more like sisters." Leilani said, wrapping her arm around Haruhi's shoulder.
They looked like they were going to burst with questions, but Leilani stopped them.
"Questions tomorrow. Also, Hikaru and Kaoru, you have my number so just text me your questions." The gymnast said.
"Well, bye then." They said, leaving with the rest of the Host Club as they said 'goodbye' too.
"Wait, before you leave, I need to talk to you." Kyoya said.
Haruhi looked at her friend worriedly but she just shrugged.
"Go wait outside. I'll be out real quick." Leilani said and Haruhi obeyed.
Leaving the two of the room, she walked out and waited for a while.
"Sachiko-Chan, why can't I find any information on you?" Kyoya asked.
"I'm afraid I do not understand your question." She said, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Everyone I have met has a detailed file on them. Apart from you. All you have is your first name –not last name-, age, birthday, gender, and scholarship reason. There is no parental/guardian information nor is there a sentence about your past." He explained.
"Kyoya-Senpai," She started, but then corrected herself, "Kyoya-Kun, why do you want to know about me for?"
"As a member of the Host Club member now, it is my duty to inform your family of your actions and well-being. I also should know about you as your Vice-President. Care to explain?" Kyoya asked.
"It is quite a long story, Mr. Ootori. If you wish to know about it, then you will have to ask me tomorrow, preferable at lunch." Leilani said, letting her smile adorn her face again.
"Fine. You can leave." He said, and she did so.
"What did he need to talk about?" Haruhi asked as the pair walked out of school.
"He wants to know more about me." Leilani muttered.
"What are you going to tell him?" Haruhi asked, concern written over her face.
"False information of course. I'm not letting an Ootori know my past." Leilani replied simply, before bring her phone out.
Unlike what her fellow classmates and all had, she had brought her phone from England and America – iPhone 5s.
She texted Hikaru and Kaoru.
Sachiko: Just ask me the questions tomorrow. I'm too tired.
Hikaru: Oh, Okay then…
Kaoru: Get a good rest!
She put her phone away and dropped Haruhi off at her doorstep.
"Goodnight Haruhi, Goodnight Oji-San." She said, with her dimply smile. Yes, she calls Ryoji her uncle.
"Goodnight Leila!" They both said, calling her by her the nickname of her first name instead of middle name like everyone at school did. Not that they knew.
"Thank you Lani, for dropping Haruhi off safely. Have a safe journey." Ranka said, before shutting the door.
She shook her head and walked down the streets until she reached her home.
A/N: New story! Because I actually planned this one through! School is starting soon, but I promise I still will be updating whenever I can. I hate doing homework and rather do this, so why not? If any character seems OOC, tell me in a review. Leave constructive criticism, tips, suggestions, etc.
BTW, Sachiko and Leilani are the same people. Leilani is her first name, and Sachiko is her middle name but no one knows her name is Leilani.
R&R + F&F
BYEEE!
