Chapter 1: The Host Club Takes Over Texas!
-Kaoru POV-
It was the first day of summer when we got the frantic call from Boss.
The phone started ringing at nine AM, I recognized the ring tone as his and hit Hikaru on the head.
"Answer the phone!" I yelled at him
"No, let it go to voice mail." He said
"That's Boss`s ring tone. Answer it!" I said again "Only nine hours into summer…" I grumbled sitting up
Hikaru answered the phone to a frantic Suoh. "Haruhi`s gone!" he yelled "She must`ve gotten kidnapped by the occult!"
"Whoa, slow down Boss! What?" Hikaru said. He grew wide eyed "What do you mean Haruhi`s gone?" he said putting the phone on speaker
"I went to her house this morning and she wasn't there! She must`ve been kidnapped by an occult and they will sacrifice her to their evil god!" Boss said
Kyoya-senpai ended his sick fantasy with a fact about her whereabouts. "Sorry to ruin your fantasy, Tamaki. But Haruhi is currently in Texas."
"So Haruhi was forced out of her home in the black of night by the occult is going to be sacrificed… in Texas." Boss said
"No moron. She has family over there and is visiting them." Kyoya-senpai said
"Well if my daughter has family in America then we must visit them as well! ~" Tamaki said
"You know you sound like a stalker right, Kyoya-senpai? I mean you know all this stuff about everyone." Hikaru said
"We are all going to Texas! I`m coming, Haruhi! ~" Tamaki said ending the call
-Intermission-
We landed in Dallas at around five o'clock the next day. Kyoya-senpai, being the stalker he is, knew where Haruhi was staying, and where her cousins lived. We arrived there at around 5:30 in the evening. "HARUHI! ~" Tamaki-senpai squealed as we got out of the car. Haruhi walked out of the house, it wasn't that bad. A one story home with small windows, what you`d expect of a commoner home.
"Senpai… why are you here?" she asked irritated.
"We are visiting your family in Texas! ~" Tamaki explained "My dearest little girl`s family is my family! ~"
Out of the home came a girl about our age with black, short hair. Her eyes appeared to be blue and she wore a Hatsune Miku t-shirt and knee length shorts. "Who`s that?" me and Hikaru asked at the same time.
"Oh! That`s Ren-chan. She`s my cousin." Haruhi said, bewildered by her appearance.
"Why do you act so shocked?" Hikaru asked
"Well… she pretty shy, actually." She said "Come here, Ren-chan." She said like she was talking to a dog or a child. The girl complied, coming obediently to Haruhi`s side.
"Why is she so shy?" Hunny-senpai asked innocently
"Well… she has a condition called selective mutism. She chose not to speak when she was around eleven or twelve." Haruhi explained hugging the girl close to her side. "Ren-chan, this is Mori-senpai, Hunny-senpai, Tamaki-senpai, Kyoya-senpai and Hikaru and Kaoru. They are my friends from Japan." She said pointing us out.
"Why did she stop talking?" Tamaki-senpai asked concerned.
"No one knows. She`s never `told` anyone." She said making air quotes around told.
"What do you mean 'told'?" Kyoya-senpai asked, perplexed
"She writes in order to communicate. She also draws and writes stories. But none of these explain anything about why she stopped talking." She said
"Selective mutism is usually brought on by a tragic experience such as a death or traumatizing experience." Kyoya-senpai said
"Well none of that happened to her that we know of." Haruhi said
"Takashi, are you a selective mute?" Hunny-senpai asked Mori-senpai
"No, Mitsukuni. There are many degrees of it though, but I am not one." Mori-senpai said
"Hey, Kaoru?" Hikaru said
"Yes, Hikaru?" I said
"You know what I`m thinking?"
"Why yes, I think I do" I said, because I did.
"I bet we could get her to talk." We said together in our classic position with Cheshire Cat Grins plastered on our faces. The girl, Ren, looked frightened; she hid behind Haruhi like a scared child would with its mother at a soirée.
"Guys, please don't even try." Haruhi said
"Ah, come on, Haruhi. We will stay here over summer and if we can`t get her to talk then we will owe you a favor." Hikaru said
"Uh… I don't know you guys. Ren-chan what do you think?" Haruhi said, but, to her surprise, Ren nodded
"You really wanna try this, Ren-chan?" she said looking at her, again the girl nodded
"Okay…" Haruhi said "Start tomorrow."
"Yay! ~"we said clapping
