Chapter Two: On The Way

The next day, Haruhi awoke at an ungodly hour of the morning due to the fact that her alarm clock rang. Groaning slightly she waved her hand on it pressing random buttons in hope that it's going to be the one to turn it off. Rolling on her back, she arched her back slowly to stretch out. Pulling the covers away, she walked to her closet to see what clothes she didn't pack to go to her aunt's house for a month and a half.

Taking out blue comprise and a dark blue tee. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. Why out all the things to wear did she want to look like a girl? She had to admit, she did pack all of her boyish clothes and since her father had asked to her wear something femenine before scaring off her aunt with the crossing dressing, she decided to take what she got. And beside, she might be able to come up with a good mix and match with the comprise and the shirt.

"Haruhi! Are you ready?!" Her father was outside her door and she sighed.

"Yes." Haruhi sighed, "Just gotta get ready to leave."

"Okay!" Ranaka ran off again. Haruhi faintly wondered how her father could have so much energy to do what he could. She walked over to her desk that held her laptop and the piece of paper with everyone's usernames. Smiling, she folded and pocketed the paper so it wouldn't get lost, and put the laptop in the carrying case the twins provided for her. Walking over to her suitcase, she placed her laptop on the top of the suitcase before walking off to her bathroom.

"Haruhi! Hurry."

"Hai, hai." Where did he get his energy from?

-----------------------

Somewhere between getting in the car and taking a long nap so that more time would fly by, she was partly amazed at how far they came. Her aunt only lived a few towns and ten cities away. Haruhi got bored looking at the sites and took out her laptop from her carrying case.

Right when she logged in, she was already dragged into a conference

Sweethunnie: Haru-kun's on!

PikaHika: No really? Hey what's up Haru?

PrinceCharming101: My poor daughter being trapped by a car.

Haruhi got enough of that jabber and decided to answer back then to read everyone's hellos'.

BoyishGirl: Tamaki-sempai I'm not your daughter. And being trapped by a car is better then to hang around in the house all day.

HitaKao120709: Haha milord, Haru-kun really doesn't like you that much does she XD

PikaHika: Kaoru's right milord. Why do you keep on trying to woo her into your arms? You know that's never going to happen.

Haruhi's eye twitched as she read Hikaru's message. Wooing? Was that what Tamakai trying to do?

BoyishGirl: He better not. I don't even like him in that way.

PikaHika: Oh my god, she finally sees emotions!

Haruhi frowned...sees emotions? What was Hikaru talking about this time?

BoyishGirl: What do you mean by that?

Sweethunie: You mean you don't know?

Don't know? Now she had a feeling that they were just playing with her. Yeah, that had to be it right? They were just playing with her and that's all.

BoyishGirl: What are you talking about Honey-sempai?

PrinceCharming101: Don't brainwash my daughter

shadowking: Don't you think she already told you that you aren't her daughter Tamaki?

Kyouya sticking up for her? What was this about? Maybe she should just stop while she had the chance. This conversation was just getting weirder and weirder as time went one, and Mori hadn't said a word throughout the whole thing.

PrinceCharming101: Not true! She's always been my daughter and she always has been!

PikaHika: Don't kid yourself milord.

HitaKao120709: Yeah milord, you shouldn't be teasing our toy like that.

Haruhi sighed to herself since she didn't want her dad to worry that something could be going wrong or if she was getting sick or something. Deciding to end it once and for all, she placed her fingers to the keys.

BoyishGirl: I don't remember ever considering myself as your property Kaoru.

PikaHika: Oh your not just his. Your mine too. We share everything!

BoyishGirl: Everything but accounts right?

HitaKao120709: Ouch...cold insert a cold look here

BoyishGirl: At least one of you knows creativity.

PikaHika: wince do you have to be so cold to us Haruhi?

shadowking: She's not being what you say cold, she's being honest and besides hows your trip going Haruhi?

BoyishGirl: Someone with manners finally. So far boring, thats why I came online.

PikaHika: Are we providing enough entertainment for you then Haruhi?

HitaKao120709: Yeah, we wouldn't want our toy to get bored.

This time Haruhi sighed aloud causing her father to look over to the back, "Something the matter Haruhi?"

"No nothing's wrong." Haruhi said lying through her teeth as she stared at the screen with distrust and dislike. Why did she even BOTHER coming on?

Sweethunnie: Takashi's not on. :S

No wonder he's not talking. She looked over at her personal contacts that she had entered the night before and saw that Mori was indeed offline.

BoyishGirl: He should be coming on soon right?

shadowking: He rarely gets on unless he knows that Honey's online.

BoyishGirl:...ah

PrinceCharming101: You're a killjoy Haruhi. You nearly killed the conversation.

BoyishGirl: it was nearly over to begin with.

PikaHika: Where are you at?

Haruhi glanced outside to look at the signs, but so far, none helped her decide where she was. Not wanting to bother her dad since he was driving she turned back to the screen.

BoyishGirl: I have no idea.

HitaKao120709: Oh my god. Don't say that.

PikaHika: Milord might think you got kidnapped again Haruhi.

PrinceCharming101: AGAIN?!

Haruhi sweatdropped. Why...why...why did the twins have to think that this was a game? She sighed as palmed herself in the forehead. Ranaka glanced at his review mirror to see his daughter in distress, "Haruhi? Are you sure everything's okay?"

"Besides dealing with the idiots online, I'm fine." Haruhi answered smoothly to not cause any worry to her father.

BoyishGirl: I was never kidnapped! I was working at the hotel. You know this well Tamaki-sempai.

shadowking: He never pays attention Haruhi. Ignore it for now.

PrinceCharming101: She wouldn't ignore me! I'm her father!

BoyishGirl: insert anger mark here Tamaki-sempai I told you again and again that I'm NOT your daughter!

PikaHika: Stop pushing your luck milord. She's just going to hurt you when she gets back.

HitaKao120709: Either that or she'll just ignore you or block you from MSN.

Sweethunnie: Blocking a user? Isn't there a less harsh way of blocking someone?

PikaHika: Don't add them or just pretend their not talking and change subjects.

Sweethunnie: Blocking them is merciful.

Haruhi nearly cracked up. To think that Honey would say that? Then again he wasn't the lolta-shrota for nothing. He had to act sweet. She could only suppose that the act really caught up to him. She wondered how the twins managed to do their act and not involve each other in anyway in the real life?

BoyishGirl: True...

PikaHika: Aw man Haruhi. Kill the conversation again!

HitaKao120709: Yeah Haruhi. Way to go!

BoyishGirl: Like I said before, conversation was almost dying anyway.

shadowking: Where are you using the computer from Haruhi?

So the twins didn't say a word that they got her a laptop? Well, that only made things harder to explain. Haruhi sighed to herself once again and then wrote

BoyishGirl: Ask Hikaru and Kaoru.

PikaHika: We gave her a laptop

HitaKao120709: Sorta anyway.

shadowking: Sorta?

HitaKao120709: Yeah.

Haruhi frowned, like Kyouya she had no idea what that meant either.

BoyishGirl: I don't get it.

PrinceCharming101: How can you sorta give a laptop? You either give to her or you don't!

HitaKao120709: Sorta because that laptop she has at the moment, was ours. We're letting her barrow it.

Ooooh, that made a lot of sense now.

BoyishGirl: Thank you for the generosity Kaoru.

HitaKao120709: You're welcome Haruhi.

PikaHika: What?! What about me Haruhi?

BoyishGirl: What about you Hikaru?

PikaHika: It was from the both of us.

BoyishGirl: Kaoru owned it doesn't he?

PikaHika: Yeah...but

BoyishGirl: Then he gets my thanks. Not you. I can thank you for making the MSN though.

PikaHika: Finally some credit.

HitaKao120709: Jealous

PikaHika: I'm not jealous.

Sweethunnie: Don't start!

PrinceCharming101: We don't need another fake fight no matter how amusing it was to you the first time.

Sweethunnie: Wow Tamaki...

PikaHika: Said something smart this time.

HitaKao120709: Very smart. Where's the dramatics?

PrinceCharming101: . . . what?

BoyishGirl: I think it was an act.

shadowking: I wouldn't be surprised.

Haruhi sighed and then looked at the clock. She's been on it for more then fifteen minuets.

BoyishGirl: Gotta go.

PikaHika: Awwww

HitaKao120709: Battery running low?

BoyishGirl: No...time limit.

HitaKao120709: Smart. Okay Haruhi bye!

Sweethunnie: Bye Haru-kun! Have fun!

BoyishGirl: I will. Bye Hikaru, bye Tamaki!

PrinceCharming101: My sweet daughter leaving me! Nooooooooooooo

PikaHika: Stay awhile longer Haruhi...please?!

BoyishGirl: Bye!

Haruhi logged off and exited out the window before anyone could try to make her keep talking. The host club was so different online then they were when she saw them face to face. She didn't even know why. Leaning back, she shut the laptop firmly before looking out the window. It was going to be a very eventual day.
