Stranded: Revised Version
Chapter One
It was a normal day in the life of Haruhi Fujioka. She was idly wandering around her small apartment, cleaning things as she went. When she heard a knock on the door, she smiled to herself- thinking it was the sushi she'd ordered. Grabbing some change- she made her way to the door.
There stood Tamaki, smiling brightly and jumping up and down. "Haruhi! It's so good to see you! I have something extremely important to tell you!"
It's to bad the door slammed in his pretty little face.
Returning her change to it's original spot, Haruhi continued sweeping the tiles in her small kitchen, humming a tune her mother used to sing to her.
"Haruhi! Open the door! It's important!" She heard screaming from her window. She paused, turned, and saw the twins standing with their mouths open and faces pressed against the window... drooling. She winced. That was beyond disgusting.
Debating whether or not she should ignore them and continue her work, or to open the door and save her windows, Haruhi continued to stare.
"Well?" The twins said at once.
Mentally kicking herself for what she was about to do, she set her broom down and opened the door slightly. Taking this as a time to explore her small living space, the twins slammed the door open, taking a look around.
"Wow! Look at how dull the craftsmenship is!"
"Hikaru, looky here! Is this a sink?"
"Amazing! Hey, what's this?"
"Ohhh! I wanna see!"
Irritation was clear on the commoner girl's features, and she was just about ready to punch the twins before Tamaki stepped in.
"Hey, you dumbo's!" He growled, grabbing them by their collars. "We didn't come here to judge Haruhi on her living conditions! That isn't any of our business!"
Thank you Tamaki!
"We came here to be the savior in Haruhi's life, and tell her of the wonderfull birthday plans we have for Kyoya! It's obvious she would never be able to afford them herself, so we must tell her with utmost sympathy!"
Screw you Tamaki!
The anger quickly fading from her features, she sighed and made her way past the bickering host clubs and to her futon. It was four o'clock, and she'd been up since five cleaning...
Just as she was about to lay down, she heard squeeling and felt someone grab her wrist. "Come on, Haruhi! We have to go now! The twins have brought along a few dresses for you, and their currently going through your clothes to get some more! We're going on a cruz!" Tamaki rejoiced, running out of the apartment and dragging her with him.
She struggled to keep up with his long strides, and screamed when she was suddenly tossed in a limo.
"Haru-Chan!" Hunny shouted way to loudly, changing his seat to sit next to her. "Are you excited?"
"Excited? Excited for what?" She asked, breathless. The slamming of a trunk was heard, and shortly after Tamaki and the twins were climbing into the car.
"Well, it's Kyoya's seventeenth birthday tommarow, and we decided to have his birthday on a cruz ship! We'll be sailing from southern Japan to the coasts of Australia!" Tamaki was jumping with excitement.
"Austrailia? But I don't have a passport!" Haruhi exaggerrated. Kyoya rolled his eyes.
"Relax. We aren't getting off the boat. Besides," He smirked. "If you do this, I take 20,000 off your debt."
"And! And, you can watch the dolphins jump in the bluest water you've ever seen!" Kaoru gushed.
Haruhi smiled. She would have so much of her debt taken off, she'd be able to go for free, and what could hurt about seeing some dolphins?
Nothing at all.
"Thanks, guys." She smiled happily, causing the rest of the hosts to blush and turn away.
Once at the boarding dock, Haruhi gasped at how huge Tamaki's private cruz ship was. When she asked about it, he shrugged, smiled, and said, "It's my family's. Not mine." Quickly grabbing her baggage, only to be stopped by one of the workers, she made her way up the fall out stairs and onto the ship. Everything was so fancy!
She could hear the sizzle of things being cooked in the kitchen, and she couldn't help but be drawn to it. Kind of like Remmy from Ratatoulle. She marveled at the chef's handywork, tossing foods in the air and mixing random ingredients with post haste.
"Like it?" She heard Tamaki say from behind her. Haruhi quickly nodded, and continued to stare. Tamaki chuckled, and grabbed her hand. "Come on, I'll show you where your going to be staying." He said as they made their way through a hallway.
The blare of the ships horn caught Haruhi off gaurd, and she screamed, clutching to Tamaki.
"Awww, your so adorable!" He gushed, opening the door to a very elegant room.
"Huh? Am I staying in here?" She asked, eyeing the king sized bed. Tamaki grinned and nodded. When there was a cough from behind, the duo turned to see the captain of the ship.
"Excuse me, Mr. Souh, but it appears there's a storm coming in about halfway through our journey. We are more than likely going to have to change course and arrive a day late, but it's better safe than sorry." And with that, the fifty year old man turned and left towards the front of the cruz.
"Huh, a storm." Tamaki pondered. Haruhi frowned.
"Um, I'm going to change..." She said after her luggage caught her eye. Tamaki looked down, blusing when he realized they were still holding hands, and turned to leave.
Once she was alone, Haruhi kicked her shoes off, and flopped down on the big bed. Curling into herself, she muttered, "No storms..." Before falling into a deep sleep.
