Wish me luck!
Rei
Rei quickly dashed as soon as she heard the bell rang. She was at the third music rooms' door but before entering it, she paused and breathes in order to gather all her courage, she needs it. Then she opened the door,
"Irasshaimasen!" she was greeted by the beautiful, charismatic male students of the Ouran High School Host Club.
"Oh! It's Rei-chan!" the Twins happily greeted.
"My, my, it's such an honor to brighten these heavy-hearted princes by a beautiful princess." Tamaki said quick to flatter the guest.
"Wah! Rei-chan, are you here for Kyou-chan again?" Honey jumped in front of her
"Hai, Honey-senpai! I'm ever-ready to do it! " Rei boldly stated as strong aura surrounded her.
"Oh! This is a must see" the Twins smiled
"Hello Rei-senpai, ano, Kyouya-senpai is over that table near a corner" Haruhi directed her
"Arigato Haruhi" Rei smiled at her 'Gambate! You can do this Rei!' she cheered herself and walked towards Kyouya's direction.
"Wow! Rei-chan really looks fired up" Honey noticed,
"Ah" Mori agreed and nodded his head
"She says she was going to confess to the Low-blood pressure King, brr…" Hikaru shuddered, as he cannot imagine what Kyouya's reactions would be.
"She seems so determined about it too, I wonder how Kyouya will react after hearing it." Kaoru said
"I feel sorry for her; she would just be hurt by that insensitive idiot!" Tamaki pitifully stated.
"She's a strong-willed girl, I think she can manage" Haruhi blatantly said.
"Easy for you to say, you already got Tono!" Hikaru teased
"Hey!" Haruhi raised a brow
"Now's not the time for that, we have that to worry about" Tamaki pointed to Rei getting close to where Kyouya was
"Let's go see Takashi," Honey suggested
"Ah" Mori replied
The Host club members followed Rei to witness her bold declaration of love to the feared Low-blood pressure King.
Rei came to a halt when she closed the distance between her and Kyouya, who was attending to his laptop. He stopped and lifted his eyes to see Rei.
"Good day Hinagiku-san, what can I do for you today?" Kyouya asked
"Ano…" she paused and with great courage, "I am here to pronounce my love for you, Kyouya-kun!"
Five seconds passed then, Kyouya quickly replied, "And you pronounce it well!"
The eavesdropping host club members were dumbstruck by Kyouya's thoughtless reply to a girl's confession.
"Talk about killing the mood!" Hikaru commented on the situation.
All Rei could do was smile in front of Kyouya as a respond to the insult. Moments later, words started to spread among the girls present earlier who witnessed the fiasco.
"I feel sorry for Rei-senpai"
"Demo, don't you think she's brave? I mean she stood up and confessed!"
"Rei-senpai inspires me to do the same"
Kaoru glanced right to see Rei, "Sugoi ne, you really confessed!"
"Of course I did, I wasn't bluffing when I said that" Rei pointed out
"Demo, the Shadow King didn't…" Hikaru said, "You're so cool Rei-senpai!"
"I told you she's strong" Haruhi reminded Hikaru as a way to get back at him for teasing her about Tamaki.
"Fine, I will trust your judgment next time Haruhi"
Kaoru was curious as to how Rei was able to hold in the want to do something beyond a smile that she showed earlier, "How did you manage to just smile?"
The infamous trios were with Rei while Tamaki, Honey and Mori were with Kyouya. Tamaki did all the lecturing about how to treat a girl.
"Oi! Kyouya! How could you joke about a girl's confession?" Tamaki asked
"That wasn't nice Kyou-chan!" Honey stated in a sad tone
"How can I say this, uhm…I'm not good with words…" Kyouya was irritated at himself for being incapable of sharing what he thought about Rei, with his friends.
"…actually, I do like her, but it was at the spur of the moment. She caught me off guard; I thought she wouldn't confess…" Kyouya stuttered, and as the words came out rushing his cheeks flushed bright red.
"All of us didn't expect that to happen as early as now, but it did. And why are you so indifferent about it? Even before her transfer, you get tons of love confession," Tamaki reasoned, outraged that in spite of the fact that Kyouya really felt love for Rei he denied it not just to her but also to himself.
"You know Kyou-chan, you should've been nice to her" Honey interjected
"It's because I was planning to do it first..." Kyouya answered Tamaki's question "…maybe not now, but I am planning to do it. But she…"
"Confessed first, and you kind of insulted her. What are you planning to do now Kyouya?" Mori asked
"Make up for your mistakes and shortcomings…" Tamaki adviced. Kyouya just sighed as he sat stooping down.
'Kind of new for Kyouya to act like this, how Rei-san manage to mellow down the Low Blood Pressure King? That I don't know' Tamaki could also do nothing but smile in amusement.
Dear diary,
My confession didn't go as planned yesterday (I think he insulted me). But am still happy though, I managed to get it off my chest (^^,)
Now, I'm gonna try a new approach...*evil laugh*
Rei
Ootori Residence
"Ano, neesan…" Kyouya was finding it hard to ask advices from his sister.
"What is it Kyouya?" Fuyumi looked up to see her brother fidgety, "Did something go wrong?"
"Well, you can say that…" Kyouya motioned himself near his sister, "It's about Rei…"
"You want to confess your undying love for her?" Fuyumi's voice raise in anticipation
"Sort of," Kyouya blushed, "see, I messed up. She confessed earlier, and it caught me by surprise and I didn't take her seriously"
"That's because you're so full of yourself!" Fuyumi poked his temple, "You're always putting up with a front when you don't know what to do"
"I know," Kyouya agreed with his sister on this, he really does put up a front.
"So, how does a guy confess to a girl?"
The following day…
"Oi, did you hear the news?" Hikaru came up from behind Haruhi and Kaoru who were eating lunch.
"Sort of…" Haruhi replied "Which one?"
"Hamasaki, Hiroshi from Class 2B, the new transferee" Hikaru responded, "I heard the girls gossiping about how good he looks"
"If I'm not mistaken, I guess that's the guy" Kaoru referred to the person standing next to Rei,
Rei's POV
"Konnichi wa ojou-san, I'm Hamasaki, Hiroshi of Class 2B. I believe we are of the same class" a mild and pleasant voice spoke from behind me; I tilted my head to the left and saw a mesmerizing replica of Ootori, Kyouya.
'Is my mind playing tricks on me?'(o.o;)
He really looked like Kyouya; he was at least 5'10 tall, the same as Kyouya. His hair was slightly the same as his. He wears glasses just as Kyouya and he had beautiful pair of gray eyes. The only difference is that, he has an admirable demeanor. I was taken aback by his appearance that I forgot to answer his question.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Hinagiku, Rei" I was finally able to blurt out an answer
"Do you mind if I seat with you?" He asked, "I'm kind of new here"
"Sure, no problem Hamasaki-san"
"Thanks," he smiled, "You can call me Hiro, that's what my friends used to call me"
In no time, we got along very smoothly. During class, he sits next to me.
End of Rei's POV
Kyouya was idling in the third music room he was earlier than usual. 'You can do this' Kyouya's thoughts were still on how to patch things up. The bell went off, and the first to arrive after a few minutes was Tamaki, who barged his way in,
"Oh Kyouya! You were here all the time?" Tamaki asked, "Anyway, winter vacation is almost coming and I was planning to spend it with the rest of the gang at your private island, what do you say?"
"Yeah, whatever" was all Kyouya could say, he was busy with his thoughts. Moments later the seniors Mori and Honey appeared followed by the trio of Class 1A, Haruhi and the twins. It didn't take long for the clubs clientele to fill the room, but Kyouya's persistent customer was nowhere in sight.
"Tamaki, did you pass by Class 2B?" Kyouya asked
"Yeah I did, their class dismissed first before ours did" Tamaki replied
"Hikaru, Kaoru, did you by any chance see Rei?"
Just then Rei entered the room,"Goodafternoon mina-san!"
"As usual, your timing is flawless Hinagi-" Kyouya wasn't able to finish his statement when he saw Hamasaki, Hiroshi behind Rei, which irritated him.
"Looks like someone's in a good mood" Tamaki commented, "and to spice it up Kyouya was just looking for you"
"Honto? Wherefore Kyou-chan?" Rei dreamily moved towards Kyouya holding both her hands and placed it under her chin. 'Has he come to realize how much he needs me?*giggle*'
"Konnichi wa Ootori-kun, I'm Hamasaki, Hiroshi of Class 2B" Hiroshi gave Kyouya a friendly smile as he introduced himself
Kyouya's face read as annoyed, everyone noticed it especially Rei who enjoyed the fact that he was looking for her moments ago, "Are you upset about me being late?"
"No, in fact, I don't complain about your shortcomings but about your long staying," Kyouya really got pissed 'you, you, ggrr! Aish!'
Rei didn't quite get the message, neither does anybody in the room. They watched Kyouya turned his back on them and he attended to his clipboard.
"His personality's split so many ways he goes alone for group therapy" Tamaki commented with no ill-intention.
