Chapter 2: New Buddy

"That's why I've come."

[Two Days Later]

"Hey, Iryuogi-san... do you this dress suits me?" Kobato asked the little blue blush as he waited impatiently for her to head to school.

"Yeah, yeah, look at the time!" The dog plush exclaimed. "You're gonna be late. Don't forget your hat. Got it?"

"Hai...!"

-x-

"Excuse me young miss, but hats are not permitted on school grounds. Kindly hand your hat to me." politely asked the school officer. Beside the officer was a boy which looked about the same age as Kobato. His dark hair caught the eye of Kobato, and his bored expression said to her that 'she better get going so I can get to class'.

Breaking the short silence, the young maiden glanced over at the officer's name tag.

Shoutaro Kiritani

Official officer of Ouran Koukou

"I'm sorry, Kiritani-san. But the principal of this school directly handed me a note that I'm permitted to wear my hat." Her slender fingers pulled out a paper with the school principal's signature and handed it to the school guard.

The black haired boy raised an eyebrow and small smirk tweaked on his lips. 'Oh. This girl's pretty good at backing herself up...'

The officer's eyes scanned through the paper. He stopped halfway and rested his eyes. "I see. Very well. Please hurry to class. Seems like you're a new student to Ouran. I warn you that this school is quite big. I'll have my son here bring you to your classroom. See you later, Hanato-san." The officer handed the paper back to Kobato and his wrinkled face lightened when he saw her bow politely.

"Thank you, Kiritani-san.. I mean Officer-san!" She said, walking towards the school accompanied with the black haired boy. Although, a few moments later, Kobato came running back to the old officer, pulling a tangerine out from her bag.

"I'm sorry for bothering you again, Officer-san, but I thought you looked a bit tired earlier. So I thought this might help you feel better. A friend of mine told me that if you eat something sour.. you'll wake right up!" Kobato grinned brightly, and her sun rays touched the officer's, making him smile, too.

"Hey.." called the black haired boy. He continued, leaning on his right leg as he flipped his bag over his shoulder. "We have to get going."

...

"Pftttt!" Officer and Kobato broke out into laughter.

"That.. was so... funny! You made my day black hair-san!" Kobato exclaimed.

A shadow covered the boy's eyes and a dark 'you-better-stop-laughing-now' aura floated around.

"Haha, nice one Ryuu. I thought you already gave up being a model."

This time, the jet black boy was about to snap. But before he could do so...

.. Kobato popped up in front of him. "You want to be a model..?" Her eyes sparkled in front of his.

"You.. you were just beside the old man a few seconds ago! Are you... some kind of ninja?" The boy asked, giving her the 'raised eyebrow' look.

"EHH! No! I'm Hanato Kobato! But you know.." Kobato's voice began getting softer before she continued. "you're really nice! I'll help you become the best model ever!"

"Yeah, yeah. And I'll help bring you to your classroom. Let's go already." The boy said in a bored tone which sounded somewhat sarcastic. "Oh, and for the record, my name's Ryuu."

"Kiritani Ryuu... nice to meet you!" Kobato bowed politely and continued, "sorry about my rudeness earlier.. it's just tha-"

Ryuu cut her off. "Yeah, I get it." His eyes smiled slightly and he pat the brunette's head lightly.

"Welcome to Ouran."

Chapter 2, End -

A/N: Hope that wasn't too boring for all of you. I just thought it would be more interesting if we added a male character early in the series rather than later in the series. I've got some things planned for Kobato, the host club and Ryuu so I hope you'll be ready to read more!
