As the week progressed I got really close to the club members, and Kai barely spoke to me anymore. I had decided that if Kai was going to be belligerent about this, I didn't need him. He had officially turned into the type of person I hated. He already broke one of my guitar strings purposely; he had told mom that I was doing 'inappropriate' things with guys at school; she didn't believe him to my amusement, and he has been in general became a pain in my ass. I was done with him. Wow that was new, me giving up on Kai. Ha, what has this school turned me into? Whatever it was, I liked it.
Ever since Tamaki and Haruhi confessed their love for each other, he's been picking her up before school so I don't get to walk with her anymore, Kai likes that, but that's okay because I go over her house every day after school, and I get a ride from Tamaki there, Kai hates that.
I smirked as I walked out of the door knowing that no one would be at the club yet, Haruhi didn't even start walking this early. I started walking past Haruhi's apartment and I noticed a tall red-head in front of the gates to the building. He was wearing an Ouran uniform and I got curious. I took a better look at him, and he didn't even see me coming, when I saw his scary eyes I knew exactly who he was.
"May I ask why Bossa Nova-kun is waiting in front of Haruhi's house?" I asked tapping him on the shoulder.
He jumped and held up two fists toward me, but when he saw it was only me he lowered them. "I just wanted to ask her something." He looked sullen.
"You wanted to ask about her and Tama's relationship?" I asked reading him easily.
"Y-Yeah." He looked down. How could anyone call this shy person in front of me the human blizzard?
"Well it is true. They are together… I guess. I mean they confessed to each other, and they kinda act like a couple, but you know Haruhi, she knows nothing about haw to be romantic," I giggled "But she does know how to be nice and cute to Tamaki."
He looked sadder as I said that.
Crap. What should I do? What should I… That's when I noticed someone hiding behind a tree; the person's hair was long and a dark brown, definitely a girl. What was a girl doing this early hiding behind a tree? Unless…Oh! I know what to do now. "Bossa Nova-kun don't be sad, I bet there are other girls in the world, some that actually have feelings for you" I said smiling.
"You know someone who does?!" He asked grabbing a hold of my tiny shoulders with his huge hands.
"I might." I smiled looking at the tree out of the corner of my eye, "Were you heading to school Bossa Nova-kun?" I asked him as he let go of my shoulders.
"I was, but I think I'll take the long way. Thanks for the help…?" He didn't know my name and that made me laugh.
"Mami. But please call me Mimi."
"Well thanks Mimi." He took off in the opposite direction of the hiding girl and I walked toward the tree. The closer I got to the tree, the quieter she was.
"Who ever you are, show your self." I demanded Standing directly in front of the tree. A girl with long brown hair and black rimmed glasses came out blushing and clutching her books tightly.
"Umeko Risuka, president of the Gardening club." She said lowly and shyly. "You're Mami Shidoku but you want everyone to call you Mimi. You're the first and only girl to ever be in the Host club. Am I right?"
I giggled; she was right about some things. The first and only girl in the host club? She is a smart girl, how could she not see that Haruhi is a girl? Oh well.
"Yeah you're right. So who is it you're stalking? Me or Blizzard boy?" I said, throwing my thumb over my shoulder.
"Um…well…" She looked down at her hands and blushed even deeper. She then pushed up her glasses that had been slipping off of the brim of her nose. "Sorry Mimi-Senpai, but I'm following Kassanoda-kun."
I giggled and beamed "No really it's okay. I'm okay with not being the stalked," I giggled again. "Why are you stalking Kassanoda? Do you like him?" I teased, getting closer to her face.
"Well…" She looked away, "What's not to love? He's kind, strong, we like the same things, he's a great person…" She rambled on with hearts in her eyes. Oh she is great for him…
"Hey Umeko," I interrupted her; "You wanna know what I think you should do instead of stalking him?"
She nodded.
"You should tell him how you feel." I beamed, turning to walk away, resting my hands on the back of my head, my elbows above my head.
"W-Wait! Mimi!" She yelled after me, rushing to my side. "How would I tell him that?"
"Just go up… and tell him."
"B-But what if he rejects my feelings?"
I smirked, "I have a very good feeling he won't." I winked at her and quickened my walk; I need to get to school before they do. "Sorry to leave you but I gotta get to school!"
I ran all the way to the Third Music Room and stood anxiously at the door. I had been lucky all week but that didn't mean I would get luck today. I touched the handle slowly and prayed silently that it would be empty on the other side of the door.
My prayers were answered.
"Yes." I whispered in exuberance, as I slung my guitar off of my shoulder. I walked over to the couch and placed the guitar in my lap as I sat down. I began to play the acoustic melody of an American song I liked. "Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place, if we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday, if only time flew like a dove, Well God, make it fly faster than I'm falling in love." I sang in perfect harmony with my instrument, "This time we're not giving up, let's make it last forever, screaming, hallelujah. We'll make this last forever." I ended there smiling; I forgot how much I loved singing.
The sound of clapping made my head snap up, Hikaru stood there smiling and clapping as he walked into the room. I blushed and immediately stopped smiling.
Hikaru, Kaoru and I have been getting especially close this week, all trouble makers, all playing pranks on each other, but for some reason Hikaru is somewhat closer to me then Kaoru. Haruhi beats all of them in the best friend category, maybe that's because she was a girl, but as in guy best friend Hikaru definitely won. I shouldn't have been embarrassed to be caught singing by my best friend but I was horrified.
"Why'd you stop? That was really good, what song is that?" He asked coming closer to me.
"An American song." I answered blushing, I then looked up at him and noticed Kaoru was no where to be seen. "Where is your counterpart?"
"I think he's at Hunny-Senpai's house." He sighed running his fingers through his ash colored hair.
A quick wave of worry splashed through me when I suddenly remembered the story Haruhi had told me about when the twins fought. They stood at different houses and they fought for a long time. "Did you two get into a fight?!" I asked a bit too worried.
He laughed lightly, taking a seat next to me. "No we're not fighting. We both slept over Hunny-Senpai's house last night and since I got up really early, I decided to come to school earlier."
"Oh." I sighed in slight relief.
"Mimi, was that worry I sensed in your voice?" He smirked getting closer to me.
I scoffed and knocked him on the back of the head. "Idiot. You know how worried Kaoru is going to be? And for the record, I was only worried because you two are always attached at the hip, anyway … I like Kaoru more, and I don't want him to be worried sick." I said jokingly as I stuck my tongue at him.
A serious expression fell upon his face and he grabbed my face in his hands. "Oh Mimi-chan why would you say such cruel things to me?" He faked a blush perfectly and when he saw my blush he chuckled and let me go.
I was really surprised at his actions and I could feel the blush that burned in my cheeks, I could only guess that I looked like a tomato. "Don't do things like that! Geez! That was, too much like Kaoru." I said brushing my bangs out of my eyes.
"How do you know I'm not Kaoru?" He smirked, fake blushing again.
"Because I know my best friend." It was his turn to blush.
After what seemed like hours of silence Hikaru asked me, "Do you come here so early to sing?"
"Well to play music, today is the first day I sang here. I guess you caught me. I had a feeling my luck would run out today." I giggled. I then realized the handle start to turn. Kaoru stormed in with an angry face, marched over to the surprised Hikaru and smacked him right across the face.
"Kaoru!" I screamed, my shrill scream piercing the silence in the room, and my hand held up in a helpless attempt to stop the past event.
Kaoru stared at Hikaru, his face furious. "How could you just leave?! No note, no call, you didn't tell anyone that you were leaving! We…" He corrected himself, "I was worried sick!"
"Sorry," He whispered standing up to face his brother, eye level. "I didn't mean to worry you." Kaoru, with watery eyes rested his forehead on Hikaru's shoulder and I felt my eyes start to water. No! How could I let this get to me? I am not a stupid fangirl of the brotherly love. It did remind me of the way Kai used to be though… I missed that.
Kaoru mumbled something I couldn't make out and Hikaru nodded. "Kaoru, would hearing Mimi sing cheer you up?" The both looked up at me grinning. Oh those little brats.
"No!" I said going to stand up.
"Come on Mimi, it would really cheer me up. I would love to hear you sing," Kaoru smiled sweetly, and let a tear escape his eye. Damnit. He was good at that. I rolled my eyes and fixed the guitar into place. "Fine, but you two are never allowed to ask me about this ever again, and you must NEVER, EVER, EVER, ask me to do this in front of other people." I pointed at them, warning.
"Oh-Kay!" They both chimed, sitting in front of me like little kids at story time.
"I'll do another American song." I started playing the beloved into and smiled for the words that would follow. Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you, by now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do. I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now." I slipped a look at Hikaru's smiling face as I kept playing, "Backbeat the word was on the street that the fire in your heart is out. I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt. I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now. And all the roads we have to walk along are winding, and all the lights that lead us there are blinding. There are many things that I would like to say to you. I don't know how." I smiled down at my fingers, as I watched my fingers play the notes, "Cause maybe… you're gonna be the one who saves me, and after all, you're my wonderwall." I stopped playing and looked up to all of my club members clapping and my smile turned into a grimace. "You. Rotten. Twins." I hissed looking in their direction.
"We didn't ask you anything, so technically you can't be mad at us." Kaoru, smiled at me, looking a tiny bit scared.
"Oh…" I grinned evilly "I am mad at you," I bent over and whispered at Kaoru "I know this was all your idea Kaoru, so my wrath will be on you alone. Beware." I hissed.
Kaoru was going to feel my wrath alright.
