(Forgot to mention that everyone is now talking in English, it's just easier that way, so pay no mind k?)
NO! It can't be, they can't be here! Haruhi thought, but even as she rubbed her eyes to get rid of the picture, it was still there.
"Aren't you glad?" Tamaki asked oblivious to the inner turmoil of Haruhi Fujioka.
"Glad?" Haruhi questioned. How am I glad?
"Yes, glad, would you like a different word?" Kyouya said smiling. He must enjoy my pain. Haruhi's figure slumped, when you spend as much time as Haruhi with the Host club, you know when you've lost.
"We are going to be in the same school." Kaoru said coming up to Haruhi's side, with Hikaru following close behind him.
"And we're going to see each other every day!" Finished Hikaru. Haruhi literally was a puddle of despair, as she processed the comment made by the twins.
EVERYDAY! I'll see them every day! Then everything went black.
"Tick, tock, tick, tock." Haruhi realized she was in a bed, and smiled. So it was a dream then.
"Haruhi are you awake?" Asked Honey. Haruhi's world shattered, she slowly opened her eyes to see the Host club crowding around her bed, with the exception of Kyouya and his black notebook, who knows what he writes in there.
"My daughter, are you alright?" Tamaki practically shouted, and squeezed the life out of Haruhi. Haruhi winced, the sound was too loud for her to take, and luckily Honey and Mori noticed it.
"Why don't we give Haruhi some room, she must be tired right now." Said Honey. Everyone backed away and gave Haruhi some breathing room. Haruhi sighed and sent a silent thank you to Honey, who saw it. He smiled and skipped to a chair that occupied some of the room. A moment later he was eating cake.
Where did that come from? Questioned Haruhi. "Where am I?" She voiced instead.
"You're in the nurse's office." Answered Kyouya who was sitting in a chair. "And also I made sure the teachers knew that you weren't feeling well."
Well, that's unexpected, who knew he could be so nice. Thought Haruhi. She turned towards the door, which opened to the nurse.
"Hello, are you feeling okay?" She asked, with a gentle smile, she looked around her twenties, but seemed older than she actually was.
She had sun-kissed blonde hair that went down to her waist, but was now twisted into a bun, some strands escaped, her glasses sadly hid her striking grey eyes, but over all she was beautiful.
"I think I'm fine." Answered Haruhi.
"Well, if you need anything just tell me. I'm Ms. Walker, but you can call me Kate." Said Kate. Haruhi just smiled at her, as a thank you, and closed her eyes, falling into a dreamless sleep once more.
The Host club seeing as they weren't needed quietly left without a word.
As Mori closed the door, everyone could finally talk.
"Should we do something nice for Haruhi?" Asked Honey, concerned of the surprise of being in the same school, gone wrong.
"Yes! Why don't we have a party?" Tamaki, then as always, started to have what you would call "Haruhi Fantasy."
The door opened and Haruhi walked in wearing a pink dress, looking cute and innocent. Her eyes widened at the decorations that embroidered the room.
She smiled, and what looked like tears collected at the end of her eyes. "Oh, Tamaki thank you."
Tamaki walked up to Haruhi, he put his hand under her chin, and raised it, until their eyes met.
"I would do anything for you, my princess…" Tamaki trailed off and leaned in, Haruhi closed her eyes, their lips only—
"MILORD!" Hikaru and Kaoru yelled at the same time, shattering Tamaki's dream.
"Huh?" Asked Tamaki, still dazed from the fantasy.
"What do you think milord was thinking?" Hikaru said to Kaoru.
"Something perverted I bet." Answered Kaoru. Tamaki, awake by the comments that the twins made, start yelling at the twins.
"How about we send her some presents, something that will help her in school." Honey suggested, the ever so happy person, who came with a perfectly reasonable idea, not like some people….
(If you haven't figured it out, it's the troublesome trio)
"That's a great idea." Said Kyouya writing something in his notebook, his glasses flashing as some notion conjured up in his mind.
"Ah." Mori said agreeing that the idea was great.
"Okay then, everyone….." Tamaki turned into a command officer, ordering everyone around.
"Twins, make party plans. Kyouya find presents, Mori get a location for it, Honey eat cake."
Everyone speeds as they follow their orders, Honey detested goes to the corner of the room and starts eating cake with Usa-chan.
"It's just like last time." Honey said forlorn to Usa-chan.
Haruhi wakes up feeling refreshed, the nurse sits at her desk reading the newspaper.
"Are you feeling good now?" Kate asks Haruhi as she gently puts the paper down on her desk.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Haruhi answers, as she gets out of bed.
"Well, school's already over, so you could go home now, but make sure to get enough rest, okay?" Kate smiles.
"Okay, thanks for taking care of me." Haruhi bows at Kate, still not used to the customs of America.
"It's my job." Her smile still intact.
Haruhi leaves and closes the door behind her, she slowly walks down the hallway, looking at the empty classrooms, a little mad that she wasn't able to go to school today.
As she journeys out the door, she finds that one of the classroom's light is still on, and curiosity finds her, Haruhi walks into the classroom to find a girl about her age working hard at a sketch.
"Hello?" Haruhi asks, startling the girl. She turns her bright blue eyes at her, her red almost auburn hair fall across her forehead. The girl was somewhat tanned, but still pale, and her hair was long, as it reached her waist, but what really caught Haruhi's eyes were the way the girl's eyes seemed to know something that you don't know, and you would try anything to get it out of her.
"Oh, hi." She said, and then turns to her sketch once more adding a few more things before, putting her art supplies away.
"Sorry if I was bothering you, but I was just wondering why the light was on." Said Haruhi, and she turns towards the door to leave, but the girl's voice stops her.
"That's alright," She answers, and catches up with Haruhi, they start walking towards the exit. "I was just finishing my sketch, I'm Rachel." Rachel smiles at Haruhi and holds out her hand to shake.
"I'm Haruhi." Answers Haruhi.
"You new here?" Rachel questions. Haruhi nods, and they both lapse into a comfortable silence.
"You're Japanese right?" Rachel asks. Haruhi nods again, surprised that she knew, unless she was Japanese herself. Rachel must have seen the confusion in Haruhi's face. "I'm half Japanese; my father is Japanese, and my mother British." Now that Rachel mentions it, Haruhi could hear her accent.
"It's interesting for sure, I mean I look more like my mum, but my brother looks like my dad. Lots of people never believe that we're siblings."
"You have a brother?" Inquires Haruhi. Now it's Rachel's turn to nod.
"Yeah, he's a year older than me. And we're so different, he's the straight A student, and I'm the artsy geek." Even with that, Rachel's still smiling, guess she doesn't mind it.
Before they even know it, Haruhi and Rachel are already outside the school.
"Where do you live?" Asks Rachel, shivering a little from the evening air.
"Five blocks from here." Said Haruhi, pointing in the direction of her house.
"Oh! I live in that direction too, why don't I walk with you?" And without an answer, Rachel grabs Haruhi by her arm, and both of them walk down the street.
During their walk, both the girls bond as they talk about trivial stuff, not long after they reach Haruhi's condo.
"Would you like to come in for some tea?" Haruhi asks, seeing Rachel shiver from the cold.
"Oh no, I wouldn't want to intrude." Said Rachel, but reluctantly agrees when Haruhi insists.
Haruhi gropes for her key in her jacket, and opens her door. The place suddenly lights up and both Haruhi and Rachel jump back in surprise.
As they adjust to the light, they find Haruhi's nightmare that seems to have followed her everywhere.
"SURPRISE!" Yells the Host club.
