A World of Strawberries – Chapter One

Mitsukuni Haniozoka loves strawberries. His love for the sweet red fruit had become the entire way he thinks about the world and the people in it. He saw people as strawberries. Big, small, sweet and sour, it didn't matter, you were still a strawberry. Since he only ate strawberries that tasted nice, he based whether he liked you or not on whether he'd eat you. So if he didn't like you, you were a rotten strawberry.

Hunny liked Mori. He didn't care that Mori looked bland and boring, because he new he was really very sweet. And Tamaki; he was loud, and obnoxious but that was okay, according to Hunny, because all strawberries couldn't be perfect. And there was Haruhi. Hunny had liked Haruhi since she had arrived at the Host Club, and couldn't imagine anything the girl could do that would truly upset him.

Looking around the 3rd Music room, Hunny spotted Hikaru and Kaoru chasing their king yelling in unison;

"Tono, Tono, stay still Tono!" Hunny smiled to himself. Hunny saw them as identical strawberries, equally funny and mischievous, and they loved to tease Tamaki. Hunny chomped on a piece of cake, and allowed his mind to wander.

He had realised that the only person he hadn't figured out yet was Kyoya. Hunny didn't dislike him, but he smelt of rotten, and Hunny wished that he would never meet a rotten strawberry, so he had to solve this problem. He had a plan to figure out the Shadow King. He only had to wait for the right opportunity.

And one day that opportunity came………

The Host Club had ended for the day, the fan girls had all gone home and now the members of the club were all considering leaving as well. The Hitachiin Twins were the first to make a move.

"Later!" They chorused as they stood to walk out the door, "We get to go and help Mum with some new designs!" As they walked through the doors, Haruhi also stood to leave, mumbling a vague excuse to get away as fast as possible.

"Gotta make dinner." Hunny caught the words as she followed the red-heads out the double doors.

"Mitsukuni…" Came a deep voice from behind him. He immediately stood and launched himself at his cousin.

"Yes Takashi?" He sang happily.

"…Judo…stay here…" Mori continued, gently setting the small boy on the ground. Hunny nodded, and turned around, just in time to catch a glimpse of Tamaki making a rapid, unannounced exit. Hunny finished his cake, and then looked around the room to see who was left. A devious smile flitted across his face as he realised that it was only Kyoya and himself remaining. He gazed at his polar opposite sitting on his swivel chair, typing stoically at his computer.

"Kyo-Chan!!" He yelled jumping onto the taller, darker boy's back. Kyoya flinched slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

"Yes, Hani-senpai?"

"Wotcha doing?" Hunny asked, peering over his shoulder.

"Work." Was all the reply he got.

Hunny looked sideways at Kyoya. His dark glasses stood out from the pale skin.

"Do you really need those?" He asked curiously.

Kyoya paused his work and glanced at the inquisitive, child-like face peering up at him.

"Need what?" He asked.

"Your glasses."

Kyoya shrugged and resumed work.

"I suppose they're not essential…"

He was cut off by his glasses being rudely tugged off his face and being carried away by small hands that were probably, to Kyoya's disgust, covered in cake icing.

He looked up in mild irritation.

"Give them back, you'll make them filthy." He ordered.

Hunny's eyes glinted mischievously and he shook his head.

"You have to chase me!" he giggled as he climbed up onto a table.

Kyoya spun around on his chair, glaring.

"Why are you being so difficult?" he asked. He was aware that the boy had childish tendencies, but he had never noticed him to be so… annoying.

"I'm bored Kyoya, come play." Hunny whined.

'Seriously, it's been all of ten minutes; find something to amuse yourself with other than torturing me…'

This is what Kyoya thought, but instead he said:

"Why are you bored?"

"Takashi's not here, I have to wait for him… he takes too long."

Kyoya sighed in frustration as he watched Hunny lean down and grab the arm of his stuffed rabbit.

"Come Usa-chan," Hunny proclaimed, "Let's play dress ups!"



Okay, so this is my first fanfic…
