Chapter 2

It's been two months since Kumiko came to Ouran High and so far no one has bothered asking her about her family or other personal questions. The only person Kumiko had to keep an eye out for was Ootori Kyouya. Whenever she saw him in the corridor or in class she had a feeling that he knew more than he let on. This somehow didn't stop them from being nice to each other. Sometimes Kumiko appeared to know something that Kyouya didn't and it was fun to see him figure it out. Sometimes he got it right and sometimes he didn't. At those times when he didn't figured it out Kumiko would simply tell him that he did a good job and that maybe next time he would get it right. Kyouyas response to that was to push his glasses up and smile like nothing happened.

During her first two months Kumiko had managed to avoid the members of the Host Club and their fans by sneaking away to a quiet place where she knew no one would look. However Kumikos luck would not last. On a rainy day in October the last person Kumiko would suspect finding her was standing in front of her. Curious of what he might have to say Kumiko closed her book and focused on what he had to say.

'It's quite rare to see anyone up here. I never suspected that anyone would like to be up here to be honest.'

'Well it's nice to see you too Ootori-san.'

'The pleasure is all…'

'Oh cut the crap will you. You came up here for a reason am I right?'

'Straight to the point as always I see.'

'Well someone has to be since the majority around here likes to go around for a bit before coming to the point. Which leads me to ask you what you want?'

'Who told you I want something?'

'Because you never do stuff unless you get something from it. Be it big or small you always end up getting something from everything you do.'

'I see. Well then there's no point in avoiding the subject then.'

'What subject?'

'What your family does.'

'Somehow I knew that you would one day bring that up. And somehow I think that you know more about it than you give away.'

'Well in the beginning I thought that your family probably dealt with something that's connected to the government since there was no information about their work and the fact that you mentioned your older brothers studying political science and law. However when I had it looked up it turned out that there is no one with the name Arisawa working for the government and that's when I started to suspect that your family dealt with something else that could not be mentioned.'

'Your point about all this is?'

'My point is how could a daughter of a yakuza family be as geeky as you are?'

'Excuse me! What's that supposed to mean?'

'What I mean is that how a daughter of a yakuza family could be as calm and relaxed as you are?'

'You know, just because I might belong to a yakuza family doesn't mean I have to behave like yakuza families are portrayed in movies and such. I'm just trying to blend in and not cause problems here at school.'

'I didn't say that you might behave like the yakuza are portrayed.'

'Could we please change the topic? It wouldn't be too good if the rest of the school found out about this you know. All I want is a quiet time here at school with no problems.'

Kumiko then left where she was sitting moments earlier to find another place to read. As if Kyouya had read her mind he said that she was welcome to come and study in the Host club.

'Why would I go there to study? I will just be interrupted by either the twins or Tamaki.'

'I can make sure no one interrupts your studying while there.'

'You promise?'

That's how Kumiko once again found herself in the Host club. However true to his word no one interrupted her while she was studying. At least not until the Host club were close to end for the day.

Just as Kumiko finished her homework in mathematics she felt that someone was watching her. Ignoring it she continued with her work but the more she ignored whoever was watching her the more irritated she got. Instead of continuing Kumiko closed her books and sat back in her chair. The moment she closed her books someone was at her side serving tea. Kumiko looked up and saw that it was Haruhi.

'I thought that you might like a cup of tea while studying.'

'Thank you Haruhi.'

'You're welcome.'

The moment Haruhi left Kumiko felt that someone was staring at her again. Turning around to stretch Kumiko took a look around the room but could not find the one staring at her. Sighing she returned to her homework. After several attempt to focus on her work Kumiko decided to take the remaining time at school relaxing for once. This however was soon interrupted by two identical twins.

'What do you want?' Kumiko said without looking at the twins.

'Who said that we wanted something?' the twins said in unison.

'Hikaru, Kaoru, whenever you come sneaking up on someone like that you usually want something, so what is it?' Kumiko said again.

'We were just wondering' Kaoru started.

'if we can come visit your house?' Hikaru finished.

Before Kumiko could reply to the twins Tamaki came forward saying that it was a brilliant idea. This caught the interest of the other members of the club and soon everyone was standing around Kumiko. Feeling a little claustrophobic Kumiko got up from her seat and backed away from everyone. At the same time she managed to get hold of her bag and started to walk backwards towards the doors. Before she could turn around she had already backed into someone and said someone was none other than Ootori Kyouya. The longer it took for Kumiko to get away the stronger the feeling of panic settled in. At this point she didn't want the Host Club coming over for a visit. With one look at Kyouya he could see the panic and decided to move making it possible for Kumiko to run out of the room. Before she left she could hear the disappointed voices from Tamaki and the twins.
