Chapter 2: New Recruits

"D-di-did you just say ei-EIGHT MILLION YEN?!" Haruhi yelled, mortified. My eye twitched. {Why would they leave something that cost THAT much money somewhere where it could easily be knocked over?}

"Haruhi, calm down," I said coolly. I placed a hand on her shoulder. "There's no need to panic. We'll pay it off somehow."

"Well then," The tallest blonde said to us. Haruhi stared at him curiously while I gave him a blank look that no one could see. "Do you know the saying, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'?"

Haruhi nodded. I just gave an annoyed look on my face. {What the hell is this guy trying to say?}

"From this day forward," He said. "Until you can pay back your debts, you two shall be the Host Club's dogs!"

"WHAT?!" Haruhi and I screamed. "We are NOT working as your dogs!"

"Well," Kyoya said. "You two could always leave, but then I'll have to have my personal special police force come after you two. Of course, unless you move out of Japan. Though, I doubt that you two have a passport."

I growled under my breath. {I hate you Kyoya. I really hate you.} Haruhi sighed and said, "Fine. We have no other choice."

Haruhi had gone out to go buy some coffee while I was stuck here serving cake and all that. I looked around the room. Some of the girls were staring at me. I decided against walking over to them to see if they needed something. If they wanted something, they could have just called me over to them.

"Hiroki-san!"

I looked at the twins who, to my annoyance, called me. I sighed and walked over to them.

"You called," I said. They smirked. My eye twitched under my hood. {I SERIOUSLY don't like that look on their faces.} "What do you need, Hikaru, Kaoru?"

"Well….." They drawled smirking evilly. {Oh dear lord, please. Help me!} "We need you to go get us some cake…chocolate, strawberry, banana and cheese cake. Make sure it's four pieces each." I sighed and nodded.

I entered the kitchen and got the cake that the little devils wanted. {I swear one day, I'm gonna KILL those two!}

I walked out as I balanced the cake on my arms, making sure each tray wouldn't fall. {I swear to Kami-sama, if I drop these and add to the debt, I'm murdering those two idiots!} As I walked by one of the twins to put down the trays one stuck out his foot, tripping me. I fell to the floor, having the plates fall everywhere; break and many of the pieces cut my arms, legs and hands.

"Crap," I muttered as I slowly picked myself up. I looked up and glared at the one who tripped me, Hikaru. "Thanks a lot, Hikaru. Now I have MORE wounds to take care of!" I got up, and just as I was about to grab the broom and dustpan, Haruhi was already cleaning it up. "Thanks Haru. I'm going to go get cleaned up. Ow…" I limped my way over to the dressing rooms in the back.

Once inside the dressing room, I slowly began to take off my shirt. That's when the door opened.

"Hiroki, I-" It was Kyoya. Great, just great. I turned so my back faced him. Not the best idea. "What happened to you?" He exclaimed. My eye twitched.

"Can you get out so I can finish bandaging my wounds?" I muttered loud enough for him to hear. Geeze, for a genius, Kyoya didn't think about this very thoroughly. I heard him sigh, but he didn't leave. {Why isn't he leaving?}

"Let me help you," He said. "It's the least I could do." It was my turn to sigh. "I promise I won't look at you there." My eye twitched.

"I know you just realized that I'm a girl," I said to him. "But that doesn't mean you should treat me any different." He nodded but continued to walk over to me to help me with my bandages.

"You know," He whispered in my ear. "You look very familiar. Have I met you before? And what's your real name if it's not Hiroki?" I felt a lump in my throat. {Oh, lord. Please tell me he doesn't know…I swear to Kami-sama, if he knows I'm not dead, I'm in huge trouble.}
