Chapter 1 : Damn these stupid rich people.
Summer.
A time when people get to enjoy some time away from the prison that is passed off a a place of learning called school. A time to have fun, lay back, and spend some time with friends. Well. For some of us. For others, its a time that you need to make more cash so you decide to take a job working in a bed and breakfast in the middle of nowhere working for a woman that you don't even know. Who might I be talking about? Me. I mean I suppose its not all bad, I am doing this with a girl I have been friends with since the beginning of time. I just wish this all goes smoothly.
Well, wishes don't always come true.
"Yuzuki!" I hear someone scream whilst I was walking down the street on my way to my new job. I turn toward the source of the noise and its running straight towards me.
Just when it was about to crash into me it came to a quick halt. It turned out to be a woman. She looked up at me as if she was about to say something but instead put her hands on her knees, hunched over and starts to try and catch her breath. As she was doing that I decided to speak.
"Hi Harohui." I said with a smile. She looked up with her hands still on her knees, gave me a half asked smile and went back to huffing and puffing.
When she finally got her breath back she straightened herself up and spoke again. "I am never doing exercise again." I chuckled "Nice to see you haven't changed." I said laughing slightly "Well except your hair." I say gesturing to the short two inches of hair that she has on her head a posed to the 20 to 30 inches that it used to be.
"Oh this?" she said running her hand through it. "yeah that's a long story" she continued though I interrupted with "It looks nice." She smiled and replied with a "Thanks"
When we got to the bed and breakfast we were greeted by a smiling woman in a bright white apron with her hair slicked back into a ponytail so tight I was sure it puled most of the skin on her face back with it.
"Hello girls!" Oh. Okay, not a woman. "Good morning miss." me and Harohui said together. "No need to be so formal. My name is Akihiro but you can call me Aki." She – eh – he said with a smile.
"Well hello miss Aki nice to meet you, I'm Yuzuki Sakamoto." I said happily "And I'm Harohui Fujioka." Harohui said from beside me."Well its a to meet the both of you and I am glad to have you working here for me. Here are your work aprons and you can start right away."
I put the apron on over what I was already wearing
( yuzuki_sakamoto_outfit/set?id=77148798 ), placed my backpack in my workers room and headed off to start working.
After the first couple of hours me and Harohui bot got to grips with things around the place and we were working soundly. Currently we are both inside cleaning the empty dining area. We were minding our own business when the front door flew open revealing a group of 6 very attractive, young...rich kids?
A flustered, tall blond boy then comes running into the dining area looking the whole place over for something. Suddenly his gaze turns to Harohui. "Harohui my darling daughter are you alright?" Wait, hold up, are you kidding me? He's around the dame age as her. He runs over to her to give her what looks like a hug until she starts to go a weird shade of purple. "Sempai let go of me." she said pushing hi away. After composing herself she speaks again. "What are you doing here sempai?" Instead of blondy answering her question a small boy holding a pink bunny skips up to her and answers instead. "We wanted to see you Haru-chan." he says in a sickly-sweet voice.
"Oh. Hi Hunny-sempai." Wait. What? Sempai!? Okay now I'm confused and its not as if I wasn't before. This kid looks about 9 and you re telling me that he is older that Harohui? Okay, sure.
Suddenly two bright bursts of red – no – make that orange fly by my face and now there are two identical orange-haired twins either side of Harohui.
Oh great Carrot-Top's here and he brought his identical twin with him. Wonderful I didn't know he would be performing today let me go get my camera. What the hell is going on around here?
"Boss was worried about you Harohui." said one of the twins "He thought you'd gone missing or something." the other finished. They span to look at blondy who I am guessing is "boss." mostly because of the way he came barging in here like a headless chicken. But. You know. Its just my guess. Then the twins began talking in unison. " See boss, she's fine. Nothing to worry about." they said with slightly sinister smiles on their face. Wow these guys are creepy.
Then their attention turned to me. Im screwed. They begin walking towards me with the same weird smile on their faces. "Who's this?" one said as I began backing away. "A friend of Harohui's?" the other questioned. I continued to walk backwards but managed to trip over something being the extremely clumsy person I am and began falling. Oh great.
Just as I prepared myself for impact I stopped falling. I opened my eyes and there were two rather strong arms holding me up so that I didn't hit the floor. I quickly stood back up to look my Savior and I found myself looking about a foot about me. Am I actually on the floor? What am I crouching? Why is this guy so tall?
The mini-kid from before came skipping up to us to stand next to the obnoxiously tall tall guy. "Are you alright?" he asked, the other guy not saying a word, his expression unchanging. Yep. Creepy. "Yes thank you, I'm fine but could someone explain what's going on?" Oops. Now I've done it. At that specific moment another guy walks into the room. He has short, black hair, glasses and a little black book. God only knows what he's keeping in that. He then begins to speak.
"Well you see, Tamaki decided to call all of us out here on a mission to find a missing Harohui even though she clearly wasn't lost at all. An incident like this has occurred before in a town called Kuroizowa. To be Frank with you none of us had the decision to come here we were taken by force on this wild goose chase out into the middle of nowhere. Now were are here you and Harohui. Does that answer your question, Yuzuki Sakamoto?" Well sure but now now I have another one, how the heck do you know my name!?
"You know Yuzuki Kyoya-sempai?" Harohui asked creepy guy now known as Kyoya. She glanced at me for an answer and I shook my head with quite a terrified/confused look in my eye. "No" he replied "I just like to keep tabs on all of the host club and their acquaintance. All I know is that she is 16 years of age, that she is a childhood friend of yours and her name." Yeah, I think that I'm going to stick with creepy guy.
"That was very intrusive of you Kyoya." Great blondys back. "You should be ashamed of yourself, butting into a lady's personal life like that. A princess such as she should be admired for her beauty and wisdom..."Well. He's a bit of a suck up. He continued on for a long time but I got lost in thought. There was a word for guys like him, I just have to remember it. "a specimen such as herself should end up with a prince, someone perfect, strong and dripping with good looks. Someone like me..." Ah! Got it! I pointed my finger slightly towards the blond half-wit whilst he was still going on about how great he was. "Obnoxious!" He stopped talking suddenly after that.
Harohui came and stood beside me "You know that's exactly what I said when I first met him." I nodded at her with a yes-i-see expression. One of the twins spoke next "Definitely one of Harohui's friends." he said and his twin agreed.
Blondy had gone off to sulk in a corner after what I had said to him and I had just about had enough of all this and I wanted answers from the only person who I knew for sure had half a brain.
"Harohui could you please make sense of all of this before I go insane?" Harohui nodded and started to unravel the situation. "These are friends of mine from Ouran." Ohh. That's that crazy, rich people school that she got a scholarship to a few months ago.
She explained the whole story of her being mistaken for a boy by these guys and what happened to the vase and how she became a host so I was brought up to speed on her situation. Then she started to put names to faces.
She pointed at creeper who I believes name is Kyoya but I wasn't certain. "This is Kyoya-sempai he's a second year at Ouran." She then pointed at the two twins"These two are Hikaru and Kaoru they are in my year." Next she pointed to the tall guy and shortie who was now in his shoulders. "These two are third years Hunny and Mori-sempai." Wow. Third years, okay. The tall guy sure but short-stuff, eh, not so much. Finally Harohui walked over to the corner of the room and pointed at a still sulking blondy "and this is Tamaki-sempai, he's in the same year as Kyoya-sempai and I'm sure he needs no further introduction he's already taken care of that himself. She then came over to stand next to me and introduced me to everyone else "and everyone who isn't Kyoya-sempai this is Yuzuki and we've known each other since we were kids and now we are working here."
"We have only just meet you and you have insulted me but since you are a friend of Harohui's i am willing to forgive you." came from behind me. I spun around to find the newly introduced Tamaki standing in front of me. When did he get there? Forget that. When did he even move? "Any friend of Harohui is a friend of the host club." To this Hunny responded by jumping up into the air with a fist pump, a cry of "Yeah!" and a fit of giggles.
Why did all of this happen? All I wanted was for summer vacation to pass by without anything crazy happening. Was that seriously too much to ask?
