Chapter Two- A New Member of the Host Club
Later on in Class 1-A Haruhi seemed to be distracted during class. When the lesson was over and it was break time Kaoru was able to ask Haruhi, "Haruhi what's wrong? Did your cousin get lost or something?" while Kazuna was on his lap. Kazuna got off and went to Haruhi.
"Is it that time Haruhi?" whispered to her ear so the guys would not hear.
"Nnnno! It is nothing like that Kazuna!" Haruhi whispered back to Kazuna. She looked back up to Kazuna and they both walked to their seats and Haruhi told them, "Sigh. It is just that I found out that Kyoya-senpai has already met Kimiko. Somehow, somewhere they met in elementary school."
"That's odd; Kyoya-senpai doesn't seem the type to talk to commoners unless it was to get money from them or something. Did he have a greedy look or something to get more money from her?" asked Hikaru.
"No he did not seem that he have any of that. It is true that Kyoya-senpai would not talk to a commoner unless it was for his own benefit, all though he does have his moments." explained Haruhi. She began to walk to her seat when the teacher came in telling everyone to take their seats so they could begin class, they did not notice that the bell rang.
"I will tell you guys more about it later." Haruhi whispered when their teacher began the class.
It was after school and Tamaki, Kyoya, and Kimiko were on their way to the club room. On the way Tamaki asked Kimiko, "So how did you like your first day at school Kimiko!" with so much excitement. Tamaki had a feeling that he would be able to finally get to know there connection when they reached the club room with everyone.
"Oh I liked it very much Souh!" Kimiko said with a bright smile that a parentally sent Tamaki to tears and started to hug her as tight as he does with Haruhi.
"You could just call me Tamaki Kimiko!" Tamaki squealed as he began to hold her tightly and spin her around.
"WILL YOU GET OFF OF HER? CAN'T YOU TELL SHE CAN'T BREATHE WHILE YOU HOLD HER LIKE THAT?" Kyoya yelled, for he could not stand Tamaki suffocating Kimiko like that. They both jumped when Kyoya yelled. Tamaki let go of her, being afraid what Kyoya might do to him if he did not.
Kimiko got a chance to catch her breath and turned to Kyoya with a weak smile saying, "Thank you very much Kyoya for helping me, but you did not need to yell at him. He was just showing is happiness by hugging me that's all." Kyoya calmed down and pushed up his glasses.
"Forgive me; I don't know what came over me. We should get going to the club room now." Kyoya said, and after that they continued to walk towards the club room. When they finally reached the club room and opened it to see everyone else has arrived.
"Hi Kyo-chan! Tama-chan! Is that Haruhi's cousin! So did you come to meet us!" Hunny said as he came running towards them holding his bunny.
He must be Mitsukuni Haninozuka, judging by the description that Haruhi gave me; he has so much excitement in his little body. Kimiko thought as Hunny got closer.
"Yes, I am Haruhi's cousin. I am Kimiko Fujioka. It is very nice to meet you Mitsukuni-senpai. You are just what I pictured from the description from what Haruhi has told me. You must be Takashi-senpai! I am right?" Kimiko asked as Mori came over to tell Hunny to settle down and just nodded to her question. The seniors told her to call them by their nicknames.
Then the twins came along with Kazuna to greet her.
"Hi, nice to meet you, I am Hikaru Hitachiin. I am the eldest brother. That is Kaoru and his girlfriend Kazuna. We are in the same class as your cousin. So are you planning to become a lawyer as well? It just seems that all we get form our scholarship students are lawyers." Hikaru said
Kaoru said, "Not that is anything wrong with people being lawyers!" trying to take back up what his brother had said.
"Yes Kaoru is correct there is nothing wrong with those who want to be lawyers." Kazuna said in annoyance. Kazuna's dark brown eyes looked as if she was trying to burn ideas into his head of different kinds of threats in store for Hikaru.
"It is very nice to meet you Kimiko. I hope that we could be great friends." Kazuna said looking back at her with a very bright smile that seems like it would melt anyone's ice cold heart.
"Ya the five of us would have a blast together! You, Hikaru, Kazuna, Haruhi, and I would have loads of fun together!" Kaoru said
"No, I am studying to be a doctor or a nurse. It was what my parents were so I wanted to follow there footsteps so that is why I decided to come to Ouran High when they finally had room for me." Kimiko said carefully choosing the right words and molding those words hoping not to offend Kazuna in anyway. Kimiko wanted the three of them to know that she is not at Ouran for the knowledge, any school would have worked.
"That is why I choose Ouran as well. Kimiko was the one who suggested that I would go to Ouran High." Haruhi said while agreeing with Kimiko.
"Well now that introductions are out of the way. How about you tell us on how you and Kyoya met! I am sure all of us are dying to know! It will also be a great opportunity to get to know you as well Kimiko!" Tamaki said smiling so bright that could have any vampire find a very dark spot to stay alive. Mori and Hunny were shocked that Kimiko and Kyoya knew each other before coming here.
"That was your intention all along was it not Tamaki? You just wanted to others to hear so you would not feel like you were intruding in our business?" Kyoya said it like the vampire has found its own little heaven not worrying that no spot of sunlight would find its way to that room.
"Well I don't mind telling them, but Kyoya if you don't want to then we don't have to tell them." Kimiko said feeling sorry for Tamaki, who went to his corner to hide from the shame that Kyoya found out.
Kyoya sighed and said" If you want to tell them I don't care Kimiko either way. We first met at one of my families hospitals just doing our regular check ups to see if everything went smoothly. It was also bring your children to work day. So when my father and I went to check on the employees I saw Kimiko reading alone in one of the waiting room chairs. I went over there to see what she was reading."
When I saw her I thought that she was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my entire life. Her eyes were the first thing that I notice first then her pretty voice that could have made me melts at that very spot. As an Ohtori I was not aloud to do such a thing.
"Then he came up to me and we talked about a lot of things about medicals and how we had a lot in common about the medical field. Our parents called us to come and then Mr. Ohtori said that he will make sure that I would spend more time with Kyoya since my parents were the best doctors at the hospital that it would be an honor to have two great families to get to know each other. Then we got to see each other everyday after school. Then…" Kimiko trailed off for she can't remember why they had stopped seeing each other.
Kyoya remember exactly what happened next, he stepped next to her, put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Then we had to stop seeing each other because when we both entered middle school our parents thought it would be good to stop seeing each other so we could start studying more at school, and to be able to succeed our dreams." Kyoya finished with a tone that could bring spring to winter.
"So are her parents still working at the hospital Mon Ami? If so why have not started talking to them?" Tamaki asked to see what else he could get out of them. The others and Tamaki could tell that Kyoya loved her, but they did not know it yet.
"No they are not since they were murdered last week." Kimiko said as tears started to form from her eyes. Kyoya went over to her and wiped her tears away with his thumb.
"Don't cry Kimiko, you know that they died with no regrets right?" Kyoya said trying to make Kimiko feel better.
"Thank you Kyoya for reminding me. Sorry I did not mean to cry like that in front of you guys. When they died and I started living with Haruhi and Uncle Ranka." Kimiko said blushing in different shades of red.
She looked awfully cute, the way she would get all embarrassed so easily. I wanted to laugh but that would not look well. I notice she was blushing when I wiped her tears away and with that I started to get closer to her. For some reason I had this feeling inside me that wanted to get closer to her and kiss her right then and there.
"Sorry I forgot about that Kimiko" Tamaki apologized to her and told her to sit on one of the couches to make feel more relaxed and motioned Kaoru to get some tea for her. Kyoya sat next to her to try and make her feel right at home. Once he sat down Kyoya notice that Hunny was coming over.
"Kimi-chan so you live with Haru-chan now? That is so cool that you do! Would like some cake Kimi-chan! We have chocolate, strawberry, and mango cake today! Do you want to hold my Bun-Bun to make you feel better?" Hunny said going around so fast that it seemed like he was making Kimiko dizzy, and she was just laughing like the others. She was so surprise that the oldest member of the club is so small with so much energy. Hunny was spinning with his bunny while holding a strawberry cake. Mori tried to take it from him or at least tried to tell Hunny to calm down but lost his balance and he let go Bun-Bun that flew on to Kimiko's lap.
"Bun-Bun!" Hunny yelled across the room carrying the strawberry cake to the table. Kimiko just got up with his bunny with one hand and with the other one she just took the cake off his hands, grabbed her hanker shift out of her pocket and wiped Hunny's hands, that had icing from the cake, and gave back his bunny.
"Please be more careful Hunny-senpai" she said like a mother would tell her toddlers that were playing rough with their toys, when she did that Kyoya felt like he wanted to go over to her pick her up and kiss her.
Wait! Why do I feel this way? I don't even know if she feels the same way with me! So why do I feel like I want to kiss her so badly?
"Thanks for catching my bunny Kimi-chan!" Kyoya heard Hunny from the other side of the music room. Later he saw Kaoru coming up behind the two of them with the tea set in his hands. As Kimiko was standing up Hunny did not see Kaoru behind her and he jumped up to hug her, but as he did Kimiko lost her balance, Kyoya got up to try and catch her but it was a bit too late. She crashed into Kaoru and broke the tea set.
"I am so sorry Kaoru! Are you ok! The shattered pieces did not get you did it?" Kimiko said as she tried to get up and help the two boys.
She really does sound like a mom already. It seems a bit weird, but I guess it is only natural since she was raised like that. If I remember correctly she had to take care most of her younger cousins.
The others came to help them as well as Haruhi got a broom and dust pan to clean up the glass while Kazuna got a rag to clean up the spilled tea.
It seems so familiar. It seems like when ever we invite a new scholarship student we keep breaking things. Note to self, never show the Host Club to future scholarship students. Haruhi thought as she was cleaning up the broken pieces.
"Well their goes one of the tea sets. Kaoru what were you thinking we were going to use that tea set to start off our next theme tomorrow! Since it is broken we would need to order a new one. Kimiko I am sorry but since it was you who broke it I am afraid that you have to pay us back by working here like those two." Tamaki said pointed to the two girls who were cleaning up the mess with some of the boys, with a changed in attitude.
"Tama-chan it was my fault not Kimi-chan! Why do you need to" Hunny was stop when Tamaki covered his mouth.
"Shhhh! Please senpai I don't think she would like to join the club but since she bumped into Kaoru and broke the tea set, she will have more time to spend with Kyoya. This might be their chance to get together like old times right! We all notice that they like each other but they are just too stubborn to tell each other. Get it?" Tamaki whispered his plan to Hunny, so he would get it and tell the others.
"I'm sorry Kimiko. It seems that you would need to work with Kazuna to pay it off. The way you would pay it off is if you are able to get a certain number of people to come and ask for you. You will be a hostess along with Kazuna, but so far the costumers just want the host club members to do the work, so it will be hard for you to work it off. It would be simpler to pay it off just being a maid here or something like that. I tried explaining that to Tamaki but he will not listen to reason anymore. If you like since it really was not your fault I could pay it for you so you don't have to work here." Kyoya said.
It would not be fair to the others but it really was not her fault. I know for a fact that Kimiko doesn't like me like that. She is probably blushing because she is just embarrassed by all of this.
Everyone was surprise that Kyoya was trying to bail Kimiko out.
"No thank you Kyoya, I really do appreciate the offer but I was going to ask if I could some how be in the Host club to spend more time with everyone." she said trying not to blush.
The truth is all I really want is to spend more time with you. This will be just like old times. Please don't try and make me change my mind Kyoya. Just say fine or something!
"Very well if you want to then fine, Kazuna will tell you what to do and show you how things run for tomorrow." Kyoya said pretending not care.
Good she is going to do this. That will give me time to form a plan to tell her how I feel and with father not knowing. He wants me to marry Haruhi, but if I tell him that she already love someone else he might let it go. I need to see if he remembers Kimiko and maybe just maybe he will let me marry her instead of Haruhi. Kimiko I just hope you are ready for the future for it is already messed up now that you are in here. I promise I would protect you always, even if you are not mine.
