Hikaru's POV

Here I am, painting furniture with my brother. Boss was hanging some curtains, Kyoya was supervising the deliveries, Haruhi-chan was making tea, and Honey-senpai was sleeping on the couch with little Usa-chan in his hands. We usually have the work done for us but Haruhi forced us into doing it ourselves.

"This is so tiring!" Tamaki yelled out, causing Haruhi-chan to glare at him. He shivered and went to his corner. Kyoya pushed his glasses up and Tamaki ran to him.

"Mommy, little Haruhi dislikes me!" I rolled my eyes at our 'king'. I believe the shadow lord, Kyoya, told us that his cluelessness can sometimes be his strength but seriously, he's too dense for his own sake.

"You could at least try," Haruhi said and Honey-senpai woke up. He rubbed his eyes and said "Is it time for cake yet?" Haruhi stopped for a while and handed him some strawberry cake, smiling.

I wonder how long it's been. It hasn't been as cheery lately. And Haruhi got used to me and Kaoru and surprisingly, we were running out of ideas.

We were doing last minute touch-ups and once we were done, we got changed into our costumes. Sixteenth century clothes…I don't even know where boss gets his ideas. Though I bet the shadow king, Kyoya, manipulated him or something.

A few hours of tiresome work later, we left for home.

"Hey Kaoru," I started and he looked up in confusion. "Yeah?"

"Got any fun ideas to do tomorrow?" I asked but he shook his head. I sighed and got off the limo as we stopped in front of the house. We headed for bed.

We woke up and got ready for school. Once we got there, we headed straight to the club room. Everything was set.

"I sure hope this all goes as planned," Haruhi said.

"You have to admit, Haru-chan," Honey started. "This is quite impressive." We all nodded as Haruhi smiled. After hours of lessons and boring lectures, it was finally club time. We got dressed up in our princely outfits and went to our places. The door opened as the first guests came in.

"Welcome," we all said as more guests came in. Soon, Haruhi was serving tea, Honey and Mori were chatting with some girls, Tamaki was doing his princely act, Kyoya was calculating our expenses, and me and Kaoru were doing our twincest act.

Then the weirdest thing happened. The doors burst open as two girls were bringing in another girl who had her hands tied with a thick rope of twine and her mouth bound with a piece of cloth.

"W-what is going on here?" Tamaki said, dumb-founded. The girl looked up and every one of the hosts stiffened…she was just absolutely beautiful…

She had beautiful black eyes and medium length straight black hair. She was also wearing rectangular shaped glasses which made the colour of her eyes pop. Then the ground shook as a weird and creepy laugh filled the air. The sound of a powerful engine started as a sphere shaped platform rose up from the floor. We knew what was coming.

"Hello there, old friend!" Renge yelled immediately and jumped off the platform before it completely rose. She ran to the tied girl, who was now glaring at her.

Then Mori suddenly picked the girl up, bridal style, and placed her on one of the empty sofas. He removed the cloth that was silencing the girl but left the rope on. This didn't really work since she broke it without hardship…which is saying something since it was made out of twine. Then Renge and the two other girls looked nervous.

"K-Kyoya…who is she?" Tamaki asked as Shadow King checked his laptop only to look frustrated...

"I-I don't…know…" he said which shocked us all. The girl was wearing the Ouran uniform which means she's a student here…and Kyoya knows every student enrolled to this school!

Apparently except for this girl…

"You have some explaining to do, Renge," the girl said. Renge looked frightened. She was sweating and looked a bit shaky which isn't like her at all.

"S-sorry about that…" Renge said with a shaky voice. The girl looked at us hosts, looking each one of us in the eyes. Then she looked at Kyoya.

"No wonder you don't know me. But I'm sure your father knows me quite well, Mr. Otori," she said.

"And you, Tamaki-san," she started as Tamaki looked shocked. "It's an honour to finally meet the son of the Superintendent."

"Do you know me?" Honey asked, looking excited. The girl smiled and nodded.

"Honey-kun and Mori-kun, I believe your family also knows me well," she said. They looked confused so I guess they don't really know who she is either. Then she looked at Haruhi.

"Haruhi Fujioka. I don't think your father knows me but it's nice to meet you," she said. Then she looked at us next.

"Hitachiin brothers…" she said then looked at each of us. "Your mother knows me but I doubt she has talked about me and my family to you." My brows rose in confusion and so did Kaoru's.

"Isn't that unfair?" Kyoya said, acting calm and collected as usual, but I bet he's frustrated inside. "You know so much about us and we don't even know your name." We all nodded as the girl sighed. She walked to a couch near the window and stared at the sky. I wonder what she's thinking. Renge cleared her throat and started saying stuff.

"I can't believe you don't know her!" she yelled suddenly which is quite out of character for her but, oh well, that's Renge for you.

"Her family is the richest of the rich. Her father practically runs the operations of the Ootori Company. He is also close friends with the Superintendent especially since she's a scholar here. She was proclaimed Japan's ultimate secret weapon, much stronger than Honey-kun and Mori-kun. Her mom owns more than half of the manufacturing companies for products that is often used by food industries and fashion industries. She helps most of the fashion industries here in Japan, that includes the twins' family company," Renge started.

I can't believe their name is pretty well-known in Japan and yet we don't know her. I'm shocked how Kyoya can't get a clue!

"She's a straight A student, most trusted by all the school staff. She's practically the biggest heartthrob among both boys AND girls! Why don't you even know who she is?" she yelled and we sighed.

So this chic is a star to both boys and girls? That's just hard-core.

"Her name is Yume Akahana, in case you don't know. Which I'm pretty sure you don't," she said once again. I looked at the girl named Yume. She hasn't moved since she sat there. She remained staring out the window.

"Exactly how do you know her, Renge-chan?" Honey-senpai asked.

"Well, my parents are pretty close with hers so she usually stayed at my house and vice versa." Our eyes went wide. Yume actually handled this otaku? Or maybe she's an otaku herself…maybe an even bigger otaku than Renge! SHIMATA!

"By the way, I am not a fan of those simulation games Renge is in love with, if that's the reason your eyes are falling out of their sockets," Yume said, turning her head to look at us.

"I don't get it. If you and your family is very well-known, how come I don't know you or the fact that your parents work with ours?" Kyoya asked, probably agitated inside. Kaoru and I nodded.

"It's called keeping a low profile," she said seriously. The girls from the other tables swooned and flooded around Yume whose eyes went wide. "Here we go again," Renge said, sweat dropping.

"You know Hikaru, she's in your first period Literature," Renge said and my eyes went wide. I never saw her there! I looked at Kaoru for support but he just shrugged, telling me he ever saw her before either. "How about you, Haruhi?" he asked Haruhi. She shook her head and sighed.

"Ladies, it's time for the club to close," Kyoya announced to our customers. "Shimata! I have something important to do!" Renge yelled and hoped onto her platform. "Ja-ne, minna!" she waved at us as she descended into the floor…weird.

I looked at Yume and saw her looking annoyed. She sighed and calmly left the room. We cleaned up and left for home.

"Hey Hikaru," Kaoru asked.

"Yeah?" I said.

"What do you think of Yume?" I shrugged. "All I know is that she's so mysterious that even Kyoya doesn't know who she is. That's a different level on keeping a low profile. I mean, if her family business and reputation is that big, how the hell doesn't Kyoya know who she is?" I asked and my twin brother giggled.

The limo halted in front of the door and we got down. I sighed and started going to my room with Kaoru at my side. I took a bath and changed into my pyjamas.

"Good night, Hikaru," Kaoru said as we laid down in bed side by side. "Good night, Kaoru."
