Yay! Chapter two! This was really hard to write. I kept rewriting it over and over again. I don't know why it was so difficult. It was just really hard to write, especially the ending. So I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club! If I did, there would be a second season! I mean seriously? That ending wasn't good enough! I want to see the rest of what happens! ... :( Even though I already know… :P
Tamaki slowly inched towards the rest of the group from his corner, obviously listening in on their conversation.
"So, Kimiko," Kouru and Hikaru asked, "You were in America for a year?"
Kimiko nodded with her mouth full of chocolate cake. "I just got back from America and I came here to visit Honey and Mori." She paused. "Well, actually my father and I came here to enroll me and I took it as an opportunity to come see them! I haven't seen them forever and I really missed them, especially Honey Bunny!" She giggled and shoved another bite of cake in her mouth.
"Honey Bunny?" Hikaru and Kaoru snorted. "Wow, Honey-Senpai, what an embarrassing nickname."
"I like it!" Honey disagreed.
"Wait, you're going to go to this school?" Haruhi asked. "What class?"
"Yep," Kimiko bobbed her head up and down excitedly. "Starting tomorrow I'm going to be an Ouran Academy High School second year, class A!"
Haruhi smiled. "Great! That means you're in the same class as Kyoya and Tamaki.
"What?" Hikaru and Koaru cried in disbelief, "S-s-s-second year?" Hikaru and Koaru leaned towards Kimiko, looking her up and down. Just like Honey, Kimiko looked younger than she actually was. "You're in high school?" said Hikaru. Koura, as always finished his twin's sentence, "And a second year even?"
Kimiko giggled and nodded. "I get that a lot."
"It's probably because you're so flat-chested." Hikaru quickly recovered from his shock.
Kimiko clenched the fork in her hand and bit her lip, trying to control her anger.
"Kimiko and Haruhi should start a 'Little Miss A-Cup' Club!" Kaoru joked.
Kimiko gritted her teeth together and told herself to just ignore it.
Honey shushed them. "Be nice!" he ordered.
"Yeah, be nice to the sweet little princess!" Tamaki suddenly joined in on the conversation. He turned to glare at Hikaru and Kaoru. "And leave my baby girl alone! No one makes fun of my Haruhi!"
"But, Boss, they're both as flat as a board!" The twins were having a laughing fit.
"That's it!" Kimiko yelled. She dropped the fork, which now had an imprint of her fingers, and stood up. She tried to jump at them, but Mori quickly scooped her up and restrained her. Kimiko flailed and shouted, regretting letting go of the fork. "Let me go, Mori! I'm going to kick their butts!"
Mori whispered quietly in her ear, "Remember to control your anger."
Kimiko closed her eyes and took a few calming breaths. When she opened them her eyes lost the fire they had had before.
"I'm sorry." She murmured. Kimiko hated how she always lost control of her anger. She pouted and buried her face in Mori's chest, gripping his sleeve.
All of the sudden, there were screams and giggles ringing throughout the room.
Kimiko looked up slightly to see a group of girls going crazy. She wondered where the heck they had come from. She turned to look at them, still being held by Mori.
"Oooh! Look at how cute she is!"
"She looks just like Honey!"
"Mori is such a sweet heart! Look at him holding her like that!"
It took Kimiko a moment to realize they were screaming over her. "Mori," she asked hesitantly, "Are we the ones making them do that?"
Mori nodded.
Kimiko looked at all the girls staring at her with dreamy eyes, and she blushed, her face turning a deep shade of red. She tried to hide her face again, but when she did, it just set off another round of screaming.
"She's nuzzling him! So cute!"
"Oh! They're cuddling."
Kimiko didn't know how to react. She wrapped her arms around Mori, as if she hugged him hard enough she'd become invisible, but that just caused them to scream louder.
Mori set her down and she reluctantly let go.
Kyoya smiled deviously. You could almost see the gears turning in his head.
"Ladies," he announced, "This is Honey and Mori's cousin, Kimiko Haninozuka. She will be joining our school as a second year tomorrow."
All the girls giggled wildly. Kimiko smiled sweetly at them. "Hi!" she said more confidently, trying not to be shy.
The girls screamed, gushing over how cute she was.
"What did I do?" she asked desperately.
Honey smiled. "You're just so cute, especially with your bunny ears!"
Kimiko reached up and lightly touched the bunny ears. She had forgotten that she was wearing them.
"They love you, Kimi-chan." Honey whispered, "Just keep acting cute!"
"But," Kimiko protested, "I don't know..." She trailed off and looked at her feet nervously, not wanting to meet anyone's eyes.
"Ladies, ladies," Tamaki said, trying to calm them, "Let's just settle down and you can all come have some tea with MEEEE!" He spun around in a circle and gave them a dashing smile.
Kimiko reached out blindly for Honey's hand, not daring to look up. She finally grabbed a hold of him and squeezed his hand. "Honey Bunny, I don't know what to do." she murmured just loud enough for everyone to hear.
The girls squealed wildly, waving their arms like crazed chickens.
"Another natural." the twins muttered. Kyoya smiled, and wrote something down on his clipboard.
Tamaki gasped and collapsed to the ground clutching his throat, as if the girls' attention was oxygen. "They're... ignoring me..." he breathed. He slowly made his way to his depression corner, sobbing quietly to himself.
"It's okay, Kimi-chan," Honey reassured, "Just be yourself and I'm sure they'll love you just like I do!"
Girls swooned and fanned themselves, on the verge of passing out. "We love you, Kimiko!" they all screamed. Through all the screaming Kimiko heard the sound of a powerful motor and gears turning.
The floor in the middle of the room moved and a hidden door slid open. A girl emerged posed on the rising platform. The strange girl cackled madly and looked right at Kimiko.
"You!" she said in a threatening tone. The girl pointed right at Kimiko.
Kimiko swallowed nervously. "Yes?"
"You're perfect!" she exclaimed, the threatening tone gone.
"Uh... Thanks?" Kimiko had no idea what she was talking about.
"You're just what this club needed!" she screamed madly.
"Don't be absurd, Renge." Kyoya said, "This is a host club... for boys."
Renge frowned at Kyoya and explained, "It'll make sense in a second! So just shush and listen! Kimiko is perfect! She's a young girl who seems sweet, but really has a dark, troubled side. She's has an arranged marriage, but does she even love her husband to be? She's keeping dreadful secrets that not even her precious Honey Bunny knows! Will these secrets be revealed? Find out soon!"
Kyoya pushed his glasses up and scribbled in his notebook, nodding to himself. "That doesn't explain how she fits into the host club."
"Oh yeah!" Renge said, "She's going to be my assistant." She pointed at Kimiko again. "Kimiko Haninosuka, you are now the Ouran High School Host Club Assistant Manager! Now I bid you goodbye!" Renge bowed and disappeared back through the floor.
"What?" Kimiko screeched, "Where'd she get all that from? And why am I the Assistant Manager?"
Honey looked at her, his bottom lip quivered and tears welling in his eyes. "You're keeping secrets from me?"
"No, no, no! Of course not!" she said frantically.
"I thought we were BBFFs!" Honey cried.
"We are! We are!" Kimiko started sobbing. "H-h-h-honey!" she whined. They both fell to the ground, hugging each other, and sniffling. They whispered quietly, comforting each other.
The girls tried to muffle their squeals, all watching in suspense.
"Wait, BBFFs?" Hikaru and Kaoru questioned.
"Best Bunny Friends Forever." Kyoya explained. Everyone looked at him strangely. He shrugged nonchalantly and scribbled on his clipboard. "Hikaru, Kouru," he ordered, "Please, calm down our guests and get them settled."
Hikaru and Kouru zipped over to the ladies and quickly got the host club started.
All the girls wanted to sit with Honey and Kimiko, causing Tamaki to have a fit and sulk in the corner, poking mushrooms with a stick. The girls' squeals drowned out Tamaki's sniffles. He hugged his knees to his chest and sobbed. He was invisible to them. The girls didn't care about him anymore. They were too focused on Honey and Kimiko.
"What's wrong with Tamaki?" Kimiko asked.
"Oh," Tamaki looked up slightly at the sound of his daughter's voice. "He gets like that."
"He's weird."
"Weird?" Tamaki screeched. He jumped to his feet and turned to Kimiko. "I may be a pervert and stupid, but I'm not weird!"
"So you're finally admitting you're a perv?" The twins both raised an eyebrow at him, smiling mischievously.
"What?" Tamaki took a second to realize exactly what he had said. "No! I didn't- I mean- I'm not a perv!"
"But you just said you were one." Honey said, slightly confused.
"And you also admitted you were stupid." Kimiko pointed out.
Tamaki stared at them, tongue-tied, realizing he was trapped. He turned to Kyoya. "Mommy!" he cried desperately.
Kyoya sighed, pushing his glasses up his nose. "Sorry, Daddy, you got yourself into this."
"I didn't mean to say that! I'm not stupid, perverted, or WEIRD!"
"Geez, Boss," Hikaru chuckled. "We were just kidding."
Koaru laughed with his brother. "You take things way to seriously."
"Why do you care most about being weird? What's wrong with weird people?" Haruhi asked.
"N-n-nothing!" Tamaki said frantically.
"You should be more worried about being a pervert, Boss." the twins said.
Tamaki was about to protest, but stopped, and sighed, grumbling as he stalked back to his corner, seeming defeated.
"Hey, Kimiko?" The twins slipped on their hats. "Do you want to play a game?"
"What game?"
"The 'Which One is Hikaru?' Game! All you have to do is guess which one is
Hikaru!"
Kimiko frowned. "Well, that's not fair. How am I supposed to know when I just met you? I have to get to know each of you first. Ask me again in a week."
Hikaru and Koaru smiled. "Take as long as you want. You'll never figure it out."
"I wouldn't underestimate Kimi-chan." Honey said. "She's very smart."
The twins shrugged, and then turned to the girls, asking them to play the game.
"At the school I went to in America there was this game called 'The Game.' It was kind of stupid. The rules were that if you thought of the game then you lost the game." Kimiko said.
Everyone gave her confused looks. "What?" one of the girls asked.
"You couldn't think of The Game or you lost. If you thought of it then you had to say you lost and then everyone else around you would most likely think of The Game and they would lose. But when you lost it started over so it's kind of endless."
"I don't get it." Honey said.
"That's stupid." Kyoya remarked, scribbling on his clipboard.
"Yeah, I know."
"Tell us more about America!" the girls pleaded.
"Well, I don't know what else to tell you."
"What part of America were you in?"
"Um, southern California, not too far from Los Angeles. They liked to go to the beach and surf a lot."
They all nodded attentively.
"I don't know what else to tell you."
"Kimiko, where the hell have you been?"
Kimiko froze in fear, suddenly feeling nauseous. "Oh no," she whispered, "Please let it be anyone but him." But she knew it was him, and she was too scared to turn and face him.
"Kimiko answer me."
"I've been here with Honey and Mori." Kimiko said quietly, staring at her feet, unable to meet his eyes.
"You shouldn't be wasting your time goofing around! You should be training." he yelled.
Kimiko nodded. "Yes, Father."
He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room. "You will be punished." he said harshly.
The room was silent. Everyone stared at the door that Kimiko had just been forcefully dragged through.
Honey broke the silence. "I hate that man." he growled. It was so unlike Honey to say something so brutal that no one knew what to say. "He's too hard on her. He treats her like trash and works her too hard." Mori placed his hand on Honey's shoulder, trying to calm him. Honey shrugged it off. "You know exactly what I'm talking about Takashi!" He scowled up at him and then whispered so only Mori could hear. "You've seen the bruises she always has. Do you really believe those are from training?"
Mori opened his mouth to say something, but Honey had already run out of the room. "Wait! Mitsukuni!" he called. He quickly ran after him.
The room was silent once again. Tamaki cleared his throat. "Um, sorry ladies, but since we are missing two hosts we have to close early today."
DA DA DA DAAAAA! Was that dramatic or what? Haha I know not really! I know some of you will be like "Wait what why didn't they mention the whole arranged marriage thing?" That will happen next! … I think…. Maybe? I know that it will be brought up sometime later…. Oh and I loved how this chapter showed a different side of Honey! Please review! I don't care if you liked it, hated it, or fell asleep reading it I still like reading reviews! I want to know what you think! :D
