A Shy Cherry Blossom

Chapter Two

I turned to see who had complimented me. "O-Oh…thanks K-Kaoru" I felt my cheeks heat up /UWAAAAAAAHHHH!!! He's perfect!!/ Kaoru smiled kindly "you're welcome Chi-chan" "A-Ano, WH-where's Hikaru?" I had noted that they were almost always together. "Oh, he's off messing with Tono." Kaoru shrugged. I giggled lightly at their nickname for Tamaki. "So, which type would you like to designate Chihiro?" I squeaked and latched onto Kaoru's arm, scared out of my mind at the random question asked by the shadow king. A light pink dusted Kaoru's cheeks and I let go with a scarlet red face. "T-T-Type?" I stuttered. "Yes!" wailed Tamaki and he pointed to the according host in turn "Cool, Wild, Little Devil, Natural, Loli-shota, or……….." he trailed off, turning on his host club charm "The prince type, which happens to be yours truly, princess" he said while cupping my cheek. I turned red and tried to say something but it came out as a stutter "L-l-loli-shota, p-please" "Hunny it is then" smirked Kyouya. I quivered as I walked towards Hunny and Mori's table. "Ano, Mori-senpai, why don't you ever talk?" "Nn" was his answer. "I see…" I said. "Ne, Ne, will Chi-chan sing for me again? Usa-chan was asleep when you sang last time!" said an adorable little host. I couldn't help but smile "not right now Hunny" I stood up. I walked over toward a beautiful painting and I just admired it "it's pretty, isn't it Hunny-senpai?" "It sure is Chihiro-chan" said a velvet-like voice. I turned to see Kaoru and I blushed, this situation reminded me of a book I had read… about a girl who fell in love with a vampire, oh what was it called? Oh! Twilight!! That was a really good book. Come to think about it, Kaoru's eyes looked sort of like Edward's golden honey eyes. I blushed lightly at the extreme similarity. "I love your eyes…" I accidentally said out loud. Kaoru smiled Edward's famous half-smile and my heart went wild inside my chest. I really didn't like Edward, but I was head-over-heels for Kaoru. I started to feel dizzy… /AAAAHHH!!! DANGIT!!!! I'M GONNA FAAAIIIINTTT!! CURSE YOUR PERFECTION KAORU!!!/ I passed out. Kaoru was kind enough to catch me and carry me to a couch. I felt really comfortable in his arms and I unconsciously snuggled into his chest.

~Kaoru's P.O.V~

I blushed lightly. "Chi-Chihiro-chan?" I stuttered. "Mmmmnnnnn" she muttered, completely asleep. "Hikaru? Why have you taken Kaoru's place??" she asked in her sleep. I blushed deeper, /she's dreaming about me? Why would she dream about me? / I wondered to myself. /She's so cute…/ I mused. I sighed dreamily. She was adorable. I brought my hand down to stroke her cheek and I smiled kindly. She squirmed a bit. I chuckled "Kawaii…." "Nn?" I saw her eyes flutter open and I blushed. "Haha," I tried to sound casual, "g'morning sleepy head" I smirked.

~Chihiro's P.O.V~

I flushed red "K-Kaoru!!" I managed squeak. "Wh-What happened??" He smirked "You passed out, then you drifted into sleep" he was still smirking as I blushed even more. "Eto……ano…" dink dink dink I was twiddling my fingers shyly. /GAAAAHHHH!!!!/ I mentally slapped myself. /WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO SHY?!/ I sighed why oh why does this happen to me?! Kaoru looked at me concerned, with his liquid honey orbs; I blinked my jade ones, believing that they were no comparison. Gosh…he was absolutely perfect. I sighed, completely confused and Kaoru took my face and turned it to his, looking truly concerned, I blushed like mad, knowing it was after club hours and the hosts were cleaning up. I bit my lip, trying not to blush any harder. "K-Kaoru, y-you aren't trying to capture me with hostly charms are you?!" I cried because of the intense blush. He blushed as well "I wasn't trying to Chi-chan…honest" I winced at the hurt in his honey-colored eyes. "G-Gomen, I w-wasn't sure that you weren't trying to sway me just b-because it's your job here…." I stuttered. He looked at me absolutely serious "Chihiro, that's not all I'm supposed to do, I'm supposed to make the girls feel important." I stared at him completely speechless. /he wants me to feel important? No…..it couldn't be just me! He doesn't like me like that…at least I don't think so…/ I thought to myself. Kaoru then cringed, I don't know why though…

~Kaoru's P.O.V~

I cringed. Chihiro looked hurt and confused. I couldn't stand it, I wanted to console her and explain everything. Even the fact that I loved her… but I couldn't do it around the other hosts! I snapped together a few cords of ideas and I came up with asking her to meet me after the host club while she waited to be picked up. "Chihiro-chan," I started, "Would you mind talking to me right after Tono lets us off the hook?" I questioned. "Uh….o-ok Kaoru" she stuttered

~Chihiro's POV~

/why does he want to talk to me? I'm just some "customer" as Kyouya-senpai puts it…/ I sighed. Why does the gorgeous Kaoru Hitachiin want to talk to plain old Chihiro Hitsuyouma, when he can have any girl in the school to talk to? Kaoru put his hand on my cheek and I felt the heat run to my cheeks. I just stared into his smoldering honey-colored eyes.

~Kaoru~

Chihiro was absolutely beautiful. Her shy jade eyes glimmered with surprise. I felt my cheeks get dusted light pink. She was adorable. "Kawaii" I murmured. Chihiro flushed scarlet red and I smiled. "You're acting like Edward Cullen…." She muttered. "What?" I knew about Twilight and I've read it, but how was I acting like Edward? "You're making your eyes smolder……you're d-dazzling me……..even though the club is over..." I narrowed my eyes. She didn't understand. /the reason I'm dazzling you is because I love you Chihiro Hitsuyouma!!!/ Ugh… Why won't this gorgeous girl before me understand that I'm in love with her?!Uurrrgh it is so very annoying….. "Chihiro, I'm da-""KAORU!" My twin called. "Nn… Coming Hikaru! Sorry Chi-chan" I said chuckling nervously. She smiled and it lightened my heart. "It's alright K-Kaoru-senpai." I inwardly frowned /Senpai? She only thinks of me as her senpai? Ugh this is worse than I thought! / I smiled politely back then walked over to my twin brother. "Yes?" I questioned, "Help me with these dishes" Hikaru commanded. I obliged and cleared the table with him. /I cannot believe that Chihiro only thinks of me as a senpai…. / I thought with disappointment that clearly showed on my face. "Ne, are you upset Kaoru?" asked my mirror image. "No! Why do you ask Hikaru?" I suddenly got defensive. Hikaru smirked. "It's because of Chihiro, isn't it?" I blushed, "n-no!" He smirked.

~Later that day~

A young girl with waist-length cerulean blue hair wandered the halls of Ouran, searching for her sister. "Chi-chan, where are you?" she said, sighing.
