Surprise!
Okay, this is just some random thought I had when browsing through the stories. This is my first Ouran story.^^
Renge knows Haruhi is a girl in this story.
Basically, Haruhi is swept into a whirlwind of an afternoon when she finds Renge in the 3rd music room instead of the hosts.
As Haruhi walked down the corridor on her way to the Host Club, she reflected on her day.
It had been like every other school day since befriending the host club. Kaoru and Hikaru had been their usual annoying selves. Not that Haruhi really minded.
Hunny-senpai had looked excited to see her when they'd passed each other in the hallway. Mori, always by Hunny's side, hadn't said anything to either of them, but she didn't really mind that either.
She hadn't seen Kyoya, but she suspected he was busy keeping Tamaki away from her until the host club time after school.
Then her thoughts slipped to the final host club member. Even if it wasn't official, Renge felt as much a part of the club as she did. Recently, Renge had found out that she was a girl.
The host had taken a vote. No one had seemed against it, and Haruhi had been all for it. She didn't usually mind pretending to be a boy, but it could get a bit annoying in everyday life.
Sure in the host club it was like her act. Everyone had one. But all she really did was have to be herself, so pretending to be a boy had been her self-appointed act.
Not all things were just acts though. Because the acts were based off of what the hosts were really like.
The twins really did love each other. Hunny-senpai really was that excitable and Mori really was that quiet.
Tamaki probably couldn't tell one girl from another, but Haruhi would rather spend her entire weekend being tormented by the twins then try to figure out what was going on in his head.
And Kyoya wasn't all that different during host club hours and before or after.
The only thing that had made the day somewhat interesting was a note she'd found in her locker. (Which was a whole lot bigger than her locker at her old public school.)
It had told her that there would be a surprise for her once she got to the third music room.
Haruhi had expected Tamaki to write something like that, but the hand-writing had looked way too... girly. Even her writing wasn't like that.
Besides, she'd memorized every host's writing style. And that was definitely not Tamaki's. She hadn't ruled out Hikaru and Kaoru yet. Over the past year they'd gotten pretty good at forging other people's writing. Haruhi had had quite a bit of trouble with her teachers when the two of them had sent in something in handwriting that looked almost identical to her own.
(I'll stop rambling now and get to the point.)
When Haruhi opened the doors, she was surprised to find the room... empty. The host club wasn't there and the place wasn't decorated for anything.
She took a few steps into the room and closed the doors. Haruhi walked farther into the room and called out. "I know you're in here! There would be no point in sending that letter if you didn't plan on showing up. So would you just come out from wherever you're hiding so we can just get this over with?"
"Shh!!"
Haruhi, startled that she'd gotten a response whirled around to see who ever was behind her.
"Renge?"
"Shh! Didn't you hear me?" she whispered "Not so loud! They're only in the next room you know!"
"Then why do you want me in here...?"
Renge rolled her eyes. "I sent the letter. The host club is cancelled today. I made it official, and the rest of the club is in there." she gestured towards the dark room where Nekozawa dwelled. "While they're distracted, we can get out of here."
"And go where?" asked Haruhi, still confused.
Renge rolled her eyes again. "I don't know. I just thought it might be nice to spend the afternoon with another girl for a change."
"Renge, in case you haven't noticed, since I joined the host club, I've been spending all of my afternoons with a bunch of girls."
Renge waved her hand dismissively. "The clients don't count."
Haruhi sighed and followed the overdramatic girl out of the room.
"So, what are we gonna do?" she asked as they exited the school and started walking down the street.
"I don't know yet." said Renge thoughtfully.
"Great planning." Haruhi muttered. Renge either didn't hear or didn't care.
"I've got it!" Renge then went on to explain a bunch of places she liked to go to around Ouran. (Considering that the school is Ouran Academy and in episode 3 Kyoya mentioned Ouran public school I'm assuming that the name of the town is Ouran.)
For a lot of the rest of the afternoon Renge brought Haruhi to look at shops around the town. Haruhi wouldn't have even noticed most of these if Renge hadn't pointed them out. Although the only shopping Haruhi usually did was grocery shopping.
She started to notice that all the shops had the same theme to them. A few were bridal shops, some were another was a seasonal one that had just opened for valentines day. Haruhi had been listening to a lot of the conversation going on with her classmates and they'd each had one certain theme too. So she knew that a lot of the places they passed or stopped to look at were popular date places in Ouran.
After a little while they stopped at a park and sat down on a bench to watch some younger kids play in the snow that hadn't yet melted. After a little while, Renge broke the silence.
"You must've been really smart at your old school. There have been commoners before you that have tried to get into Ouran you know. But, their grades just weren't good enough."
"Well, yeah, I guess. I was in Honors classes in everything."
Renge was silent for a while. Then out of nowhere she said: "Don't you just hate it when people can't pick up on something, even though you've been dropping hints for a while?" This statement normally would've been an angry one, but Renge looked a bit sorrowful.
This time it was Haruhi's turn to be silent. She looked around the park and sighed. It had been a cold year. She was looking forward to the spring. Valentines wasn't exactly her favorite holiday anyhow.
"Wait a minute... Valentines Day... That's what you've been getting at all day!" said Haruhi, a bit excited. "I'm right aren't I?" They'd started walking down the street now and were getting deep into a very crowded town. "But, it wasn't me you've been dropping hints to all week... It was Kyoya! I knew I was right! You do still like him!"
Renge blushed. "I was worried I was being way too obvious about it, but no one seemed to notice. Well, except for you now."
She had been pretty obvious, but still Haruhi wasn't surprised. Tamaki was a complete doof. Hikaru and Kaoru were always in a world of their own. Hunny-senpai didn't seem to think much about other people's or his own love life. (Not that he had much of one) And if Mori-senpai had noticed, he hadn't said anything. But that wasn't surprising either.
That left Kyoya himself. But, when she thought about it, Haruhi wasn't surprised about this either. Kyoya may be a genius when it came to school work and handling money, but he didn't have a clue when it came to love.
Not that I have much experience in that area either... thought Haruhi.
They'd both been spacing out in their own worlds. And only for a few seconds at that. But when Haruhi looked around she was alone. Well, not exactly. She was surrounded by a crowd, but you know what I mean.
"Renge? Come on, I'm not in the mood for this. It's getting late." She got a few strange looks from some of the people around her, but Renge wasn't anywhere to be found.
All of a sudden, both of her arms were grabbed and before she had a chance to look around she was dragged between two stores.
"Hey!"
"Surprised to see us?" Asked two voices in unison.
Haruhi turned around to see two identical grins.
"Hikaru? Kaoru?"
Read and Review Please! This is my first Ouran fanfic, I'm pretty sure I've already mentioned this, so sorry if it sucks. I'm the only person I know who's a KyoyaxRenge fan, but I'm sure I'm not the only one... Hopefully...
