Tamaki slowly lead them inside, past the doorman, and over to the elevator. Once they were all inside he sighed and pressed the last digit on the control panel and the elevator started lifting them up, up, up, right to the top floor. Tamaki sighed as they walked along the short corridor to the only door that lead off it. Looking back they could see the elegant spiral staircase that lead down to the lobby. Beside the door stood a guard who saluted at them as they approach. "Now, don't expect much... Miss Vivi is quite shy. She's used to just speaking French or English so don't talk all at once if you plan on only speaking Japanese." Tamaki tried to warn them. "I knew we should have taken conversational French." Hikaru whispered loudly to Haruhi who just rolled her eyes and followed the others through the door that the guard held open for them.
Inside the huge entrance was bright as natural light spilled in through two stained glass windows and flooded the whole place. Tamaki went towards a door that lead off and knocked before a gentle and melodic voice answered with a softly spoken 'Enter', spoken in English. Tamaki gave his friends a weak smile before going into the room.
"Tama? I'm so glad you came back! And so quickly too!" the voice came from a woman of around the same age as Haruhi and the twins. She was petite and quite fragile looking with soft long light blonde hair that fell down just below her waist. She had very light pale blue eyes that seemed to emphasise her pale complexion though her lips were full and blood red. Currently, she was sat on a chemise and had on a cute knee length skirt in white and black, a red sweet heart halter neck top and a small white cardigan or shall with a black trim made from silk. She had a pair of delicate white gloves on her hands and a red ribbon in her hair and a pair of white and red polka dot pumps on to finish off the look.
Tamaki walked straight over to the girl and knelt down before her, gently taking her hand and bringing it to his lips. Since entering the room she had stared at the group stood in the doorway and only pulled her eyes away and took notice of Tamaki when he kissed her hand. She smiled graciously at him as he spoke, "But of course! I am here to assist and aid you my dear Vivi." he replied to her comment. "If that's not devotion, I don't know what is." Hikaru muttered and his brother nodded furiously. Hunni took a deep breath and walked over towards Tamaki and Vivi. "Wow vivi-chan! You're so cute! Just like a doll!" he exclaimed. A light blush tinted her cheeks for a moment. "Why, thankyou..." she uttered.
"Oh forgive me! Where are my manners?" Tamaki said standing up. "Vivi, these are my dear friends I told you about. This is Hunni-Senpai." he paused as vivi offered her hand and Hunni shook it gently. "This is my best friend, Kyouya." again he paused as Kyouya stepped forward and gently shook her hand, "I pleasure to meet you, miss." he said. "Like wise." Vivi replied. "This is Mori-Senpai." as before, he paused so Mori could shake her hand. Haruhi thought it odd that she only looked at people when they spoke or took her hand. "This is Hikaru..." Tamaki went on as Hikaru shook her hand. "And this is Kaoru. They're the twins." Tamaki said. "but I assure you my brother and I are nothing alike." Kaoru joked as he shook her hand. "So i can see, Kaoru-san...you're nothing alike." she beamed. Kaoru dropped her hand as he felt himself blush.
"And this is Haruhi." Tamaki finished. "Pleased to meet you." Haruhi said shaking her hand too. "My! What a beautiful young woman Tamaki!" ivi exclaimed, making Haruhi blush. "H...how did you know?" she asked. "How did I know what?" Vivi asked looking confused. "How did you know I'm a girl?" Haruhi asked. "Well... It's kind of obvious to me. I didn't offend you did I?" Vivi asked, her smile falling. "Oh no, not at all! It's just that people usually have trouble deciding if I'm a girl or a boy... For most of my high school life I was mistaken for a boy." Haruhi explained. "How does a person mistake one so pretty as a dude?" Vivi asked, turning her head to look at Tamaki. Haruhi watched her closely as she did this, frowning slightly. "Most girls back home have long hair so the short style and flat chest fool them." Tamaki explained honestly.
"Well, we should probably be leaving now Viv, I'll be back around dinner time to see you again ok?" Tamaki said, pushing the twins out as they were now very bored and touching EVERYTHING to see if it would wobble. "Pleasure meeting you Miss Vivi!" Haruhi said following the twins. "We'll come play again soon ok?" Hunni said going to the door. "Yes, I'd like that Hunni-senpai. All of you are welcome back whenever you like." she smiled. Kyouya closed the door behind them and they all went back down in the elevator, chatting about the strange girl... all except for Tamaki and Haruhi... oh and Mori who doesn't say much but rather gets spoken to by Hunni. Once out of the building they all headed back to their own respective blocks and apartments.
Haruhi linked her arm with Tamaki and dragged him off out of the way and into an alley way. "Ok! Spill it!" she demanded. Tamaki looked at her in silent surprise then became all excitable... as usual when alone with Haruhi, "I know you want me to tell you again how much I love you Haruhi, but I'm not afraid to do so in public." he chuckled, starting to walk back out of the alley way that Haruhi had dragged him into. Haruhi caught his arm and pushed him back. "I said SPILL it!" she snapped. "What's up with that girl?!" she demanded, her hands on her hips to try to look the part. "Aww Haruhi! Do I detect a hint of... jealousy?" Tamaki nudged her playfully. "NOT even in the SLIGHTEST." Haruhi snarled. "That girl... Vivi. she didn't look at anyone. NOT a single ONE of us!" Haruhi snapped, trying to control herself in the face of his stupid and irritating habits. "Oh... that... you saw that hu?" he blushed. Haruhi sighed heavily and rolled her eyes, hoping Tamaki was thankful there wasn't anything hard or heavy for her to hit him with.
