"Who is that boy?"
"I hear he's the new transfer student..."
"Do you think he really...?"
The entire host club was in an uproar as the boy entered and sat on the couch near their beloved Haruhi-kun claiming to have a designation. He was tall with long hair pulled back in a pony tail and draping bangs that fell before large round glasses that over shadowed his feminine face. The twins scowled and Tamaki's face flushed red.
"Why is he here?" The twins chimed in unison.
Kyouya looks up from his book for a moment with an amused glance at Tamaki. "He made a designation about a month ago, by phone. His name is Ren Takana from class C, I believe he just transfered in this morning."
Hikaru leans over the book and points to the page asking, "Hey Kyoya-kun, what's with all the blank space?"
Kyouya sighs looking rather annoyed. "I couldn't find much information about his background...I'm actually a bit concerned..The Ohtori group has never had an issue providing the data I've requested before..."
Ritsu Kasanoda walks into the host club for his weekly visit and is greeted with eyes filled with pity. The girls at this school still hadn't actually spoken to him but ever since he had been rejected a few months ago they had not stopped glancing at him with eyes filled with burning curiosity, he felt a wave of dread that came with the sad stares. As he approached the couch he could see the other hosts huddled over Kyouya speaking in hurried hushed voices.
"Haruhi-kun? Don't tell me you don't remember me..." The tall boy with glasses whispers in a soft tone leaning in to close to Haruhi.
Haruhi edges over feeling uncomfortable. "I-I'm sorry ...I don't...Should I?" Haruhi blinks wide eyed.
Ritsu steps between the two with an angry sneer, grabbing the tall boy by the front of his uniform. "What are you doing to Haruhi-kun?"
The tall boy blushes as he's brought face to face with Ritsu unable to say a word.
"Kasanoda-kun? " Haruhi exclaims. "Stop!"
The tall boy laughs suddenly turning his face away from Ritsu's. "You don't ever change do you Ha-ru-hi-kun...But even after I came all this way, I understand. You don't recognize me like this..." He adjusts his glasses and smiles, still held by Ritsu. "We all have reasons for being like...our fathers...right?"
Haruhi blinks a few times taking a step back. "R-Ren-sa...Ren-kun?"
The tall boy sighs and with a quick jerk slides one leg between Kasanoda's, knocking him prone. The boy then sits down on Ritsu's back smiling up at Haruhi. "Haru-kun...I have missed you...I have missed..." The girls squeal in the background. "My friend..." He keeps a hand on the back of Ritsu's neck as he leans forward. "But...I know your busy so I'll just play with him instead..." Ren snickers.
Kasanoda squirms as the newcomer's slender fingers curl in his red hair. "M..Mah?" The boy is lightweight and of a small build despite his height , Ritsu frowns trying to comprehend what is going on. He'd been suspicious of many people since he'd stumbled into Haruhi's secret and this guy just didn't seem quiet right in almost the same manner. He refused to be fooled again. Ritsu manages to free a hand and roll the transfer student underneath him with very little force.
Ren gasps surprised as his hair whips around and he tumbles to the ground, the angry red head looking down at him with a red face, his eyes darting back and forth as if trying to make a decision. The room erupts into high pitched squeals as Haruhi takes another few steps backwards bumping into the twins.
"Hey Haruhi? Do you know this person?" Kaoru asks.
Haruhi nods. "We were friends as children...but uh..."
Hikaru leans against his brother. "So you do know him?"
"Bosa Nova-kun? Are you going to kiss him?" Kaoru leans over looking behind Haruhi with a smirk.
Ren squirms but Ritsu is stronger. Ritsu leans down over and laughs, mumbling under his breath. "They all think I like boys anyways..."
Ren stops and stares at Ritsu.
Haruhi turns as Hikaru and Kaoru grab her shoulders. She blinks her large eyes in confusion trying to hold her tongue before turning and storming out of the room twins in tow.
Ren's face flushes a deep red as his body trembles beneath the weight of Ritsu's.
A hand reaches down lifting Ritsu Kasanoda off the strange boy by the collar, as Ritsu spins around he sees Mori and Kyouya frowning at him. The tall transfer student scrambles to his feet with panicked embarrassment avoiding the swipe by Mori for his collar as well, face still red.
"We can't allow behavior like this in our host club...fighting is strictly prohibited. Casanova-kun you already know this." Kyouya's eyes flicker with malice. "Take the two of them to the back room and don't let them out till they can behave themselves..."
