"Okay… No. I got other things to do." After sending them one more look of horror Kane swiftly left the room.
And really, Haruhi almost felt sorry for the remaining two as Tamaki started whirling them about talk about 'beauty' this, and 'splendor' that.
Kane, on the other hand, now walked down the empty halls of the pink school. He passed by several classrooms and club rooms until he made it to the gardens in the back of the school. Finally, he found what he was looking for.
He strolled over to the few members of the gardening club, " 'Ey!"
Kane quickly came face to face with Kasonoda, "What the hell do you want?" Kasonoda looked Kane over like he was preparing for trouble.
Kane, on the other hand, was as neutral faced as ever. "This is the gardening club right?"
"Yeah what about it?!"
Kane rose an eyebrow, "Ya' need to simmer down mate. I'm looking to join."
The already curious club stopped all of their activities with a resonating whisper sweeping through them. "You… want to join us? The gardening club?" a softer voiced girl asked incredulously. The small group moved so that the black haired girl could walk closer.
"S'why I found ya' all love." Kane offered a dull grin, it didn't reach his eyes.
"Oh. Yeah I guess that makes sen-" the girl's voice trailed quieter until it sounded like a hum more than talking.
Kane looked awkwardly at the girl, only having been able to comprehend the first half of what the she was saying. His Japanese was rusty as it is anyway"Uh, yeah sure. Whatever you say." he walked further into the crowd, looking around at the various activities. The club was mostly girls but there was a fair number of boys as well. Some students were busying around around a small greenhouse in the center of the yard. Kane was frankly surprised how small it was considering how extra this school could be most of the time.
The greenhouse itself was a simple glass number with flowered vines and trees blocking most of veiw in. Kane decidedly liked it, with its small size and elegant charm, the girl who spoke to him earlier lead him into the greenhouse through a door in the back. "I um. Over here is where we keep local flora, and that over there is stuff from Fegi and…" Kane almost had to groan as the girl trailed off again. Words becoming a whisper. That was something he would have to get used to.
"Well this is lovely doll. What can I do to help?" Kane asked, his casual flirting going unnoticed by him but definitely not by the now blushing girl. "Oh yeah. How rude of me, I forgot to ask your name."
"Oh! Um, I-I'm Aiko. And er I guess you can help with the flowers over there," she pointed to a group of two girls and a boy who were staring at them, surrounded by a rainbow of flowers. Kane chuckled and nodded, already waltzing with confidence over to the small group.
The teen inspected the trio for a moment before he spoke, "Hullo. I'm Kane, second year." Kane introduced himself bowing slightly when he remembered his manners.
"Ah! Nice to meet you! I'm Marco, this is my sister Bella and her girlfriend Junko." The shorter teen boy shook Kane's hand with gusto, seeming happy to meet a new person regardless of who they are. The brunette, Bella, nodded amicably a soft smile played on her face.
Junko on the other hand seemed just as ecstatic as Marco that they had someone new here as well, "Hello hello! Just call me June! Ooo you don't look the type to be a gardener! Oh but I guess Kasanoda doesn't either haha you two are a pair and a half huh?" The girl was a handful but that just seemed to amuse Kane as he got closer to them to help them begin planting the flower bulbs they had ready.
"I suppose we are." Kane agreed in amusement, there sure were some interesting characters at this school.
Now that the introductions were over the three went right to putting Kane to work. It seemed these three had no issues with a little sweat and manual labor. Frankly Kane didn't either.
Elsewhere Adam and Michael were suffering in music room number three. Tamaki was trying to figure out what kind of hosts they were. "-Hm well we already have the mischievous type so we need something else for you," he dramatically motioned to Michael. "And ah I just don't know what you could be?" he got unnecessarily close to Adam, making the boy blush uncomfortably.
"Tama-chan, why don't we let them have a trial run-"
"I know!" Tamaki interrupted, "We'll give them a trial run with the ladies!" Tamaki blurted. He started to praise himself, his hands dramatically on his hips.
The two out of three triplets looked at each other unnerved. There was no way this was going to end well for them, was there? Adam politely smiled through it though. "Um,Tamaki was it? I'm sorry but what ladies are you talking about?" He would soon regret asking.
"Why our guests of course! Our lovely princess who wish to be charmed with our beauty!" Tamaki dramatically motioned during his monologue. Spinning Adam around while Michael watched with amusement dancing in his eyes, Tamaki was too dramatic for the poor short boy.
He was starting to get dizzy, with a strange sense of deja vu (for two particular members at least) Adam reached out to the wild type host, "Mori-senpai! Help me!" It activated Mori's inner need to protect, he whisked Adam out of Tamaki's grip, luckily not lifting this one up into the air. Adam struggled to get his footing back and used Mori for balance for a moment before straightening himself out. "Th-Thanks. That was a trip." Mori just hummed at him, patting his head before returning to Hani.
"You seem to be holding back some." Kyoya remarked to Michael when Adam got pulled back into the madness.
That just made Michael chuckle. "Sure I guess. But it's no big deal. More importantly though, you'll never find out how we know your brother if that's what you here for~" Michael said sing songly. He noticed that made Kyoya's mood darken, 'Ah' he thought, 'So that was exactly the information he was after.' "Anyway I better go save my dear baby brother before he gets spun to exhaustion."
And that was true, the twins were playing a game of keep away, spinning Adam this way and that while Tamaki gave chase and Haruhi tried to get them to let the poor boy go. Adam looked about ready to puke. Since today the host club wasn't having guests it was more of a stress than anything to Adam and otherwise pure amusement time for Michael. Michael snapped a picture on his phone and sent it to Kane. 'Hey look the boy is getting dressed up!' And poor Adam was, in the picture Adam was shirtless with purple pants on while running away from scheming twins with piles of clothes in their arms.
Kane's grand reply was 'lol' followed by a picture of his own. His was considerably more peaceful, filled with flowers and three other ouran students with their sleeves rolled up, waist deep in dirt planting the multicolor bulbs. Michael smiled at the picture, he and his twin may not like the exact same stuff, but Michael was glad that Kane had managed to escape the host club to join something that interested him.
He wished he had had the same luxury, he'd rather join the basketball or soccer club but hey, these bunch of dorks didn't seem so bad.
The triplets each spent their afternoon much more enthralled with their respective activities then they had during the school hours.
