Chapter 2: Secret


The girl, name Kawasawa Rin, was running down the hall. She was looking for her notebook in which she dropped the other day, but no luck finding it.

She stopped running, finding it useless to look for it. "I guess I need to start from scratch…" she muttered, running her hand through her hair.

She held her backpack tightly, feeling sad that she lost all her hard work. She shook her head and decided to forget about it.

Rin then began walking down the hall, humming to herself.

She was walking down the hall when she came to a pair of double doors. She stopped and looked up, seeing the sign that said 'Music Room 3'. Rin bit her lip. "It's a good place," she said, putting her hand on handle. "Maybe I could have some piece and quiet when I work in a Music Room."

Rin opened the door and standing there were six guys. "Welcome!" they said, every single one dressed as a cop.

Rin was frozen and starring at each one of them. She took a step back and looked up. Did I miss something? she thought, looking back to the boys.

Rin began backing up, but before she could two people grabbed her from behind. Rin looked and saw a pair of twins holding her by the arms. "Planning to leave so soon, Kimi Natsuki?" they said.

Rin froze. How did? she thought. Am I that obvious…?

Tamaki stepped forward, Rin knew him since she was in the same class as him and Kyoya. "Time to get to questioning," Tamaki said, smiling.

Rin lifted an eyebrow and next thing she knew, she was pulled along by the Hitachiin twins to the back room. They ten pushed her into a chair and sat next to her, making sure she couldn't go anywhere.

"What is this about?" Rin shouted. She was about to shout more, but Hikaru placed his hand over her mouth.

"We just want to ask you a few questions," Hikaru said, smiling.

Rin glared at the twins, but she stopped glaring when Kyoya and the others walked into the room.

Kyoya stood in front of Rin, who was glaring at him with ever ounce of her being. Rin removed Hikaru's hand and smirked. "How did I know this was a plan hatched by the Shadow King himself…?" she said.

Kyoya didn't say anything, he just kept his arms crossed.

"What do you want, Ootori Kyoya…?" she said, sitting back.

Kyoya held out her notebook. Rin took her notebook and looked at Kyoya suspiciously.

"I simply didn't want to keep something so useless around…" Kyoya said.

Rin gritted her teeth. "What else do you want?" she said, standing to her feet. "There's more to this then simply just giving me back my notebook. You want something…"

Kyoya smirked.

Rin felt two arms wrap around her. "We simply…" Kaoru said.

"…want you to work for the Host Club…" Hikaru said.

"That is," they both said in her ear, "to keep your little secret…"

Rin gritted her teeth, but then ungritted them and smiled. "What secret?" she said, laughing.

"You are Kimi Natsuki, the famous singer, aren't you?" Honey said, riding on Mouri's shoulders. He smiled sweetly. "I think if people heard that everyone would be smothering you."

"And then you wouldn't be able to live a quiet high school life," Tamaki said, grinning.

"If you work for the Host Club," Kyoya said, getting close to her face, "we promise not to mention anything to the school or the students…"

Rin gritted her teeth as she looked into Kyoya's cold eyes. She felt a shiver go down her spine, telling her she didn't want to mess with this. Rin rolled her eyes and looked to the ground. "Fine!" she said. "Just keep it a secret, alright?"

Every member of the Host Club grinned.

Rin pushed Hikaru and Kaoru off of her. She then walked a few feet away from them. "So," she said, smiling, "why is Haruhi pretending to be a boy?"

Everyone's eyes widened, but Kyoya grinned. "Due to certain circumstances, Haruhi has had to hide her gender," Kyoya said, pushing up his glasses.

Rin nodded slowly.

"In other words…" Haruhi said, disappointingly. "I have debt…"

"That makes since," Rin said.

Tamaki smiled and was getting giddy. He ran over to Rin and hugged her tightly. "Oh, Mom!" he said. "We have another daughter! Haruhi has a sister!"

Rin was getting pissed. She elbowed Tamaki in the stomach and sent him to his knees. "I am not your daughter!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.

Kyoya smirked. "Why not?" he said, crossing his arms and walking over to her.

Rin glared at Kyoya and began shouting at him now. "Because I don't want to be your daughter!" she shouted. "I would kill myself if I had to be related to you!"

Everyone smiled, finding it kind of funny how Rin thought she could win a fight with Kyoya. But in the end, he always wins.
