"So is it true?" Kaoru asked.
"How come you never told us you had a sister, Boss?" Hikaru asked.
"Because I didn't know I had one!" Tamaki said with his head in his hands. After the arrival of the strange girl they had shut the Host Club down early with a promise of refunds. Izumi, as the girl called herself, had been staring at the food until Honey went a brought her some. She seemed surprised but took the plate and ate hastily and without manners. Honey was glad to have found someone to share his sweets with and they happily ate together. Tamaki was still in shock.
"We don't know that, there is no genetic proof," Kyoya said from across the room at his laptop.
"But Izumi-chan looks just like Tama-chan!" Honey called out from the couch where he and Izumi where laying down after their meal. Izumi was rubbing her belly. But it was true, this girl did resemble Tamaki.
"Isn't she speaking French? You're half French, right Tamaki?" Haruhi said, rubbing Tamaki's back.
"Yes, that's true, but I haven't been to France in years. And I am an only child," Tamaki said, looking up at Haruhi, who smiled down at him.
"Why don't you ask her?" Mori said, appearing behind the couch where the two were sitting. At the sound of his voice Izumi started and ran and hid behind Tamaki. She peeked around his chair at Mori. Honey went to her.
"It's okay, Takashi won't hurt you. Right Takashi!" Honey said, turning to Mori.
"Right," Mori said, nodding. Izumi looked at Tamaki.
'He won't hurt you,' he said in French. Izumi smiled.
'He scared me, he appeared out of nowhere!' she said.
"What's she saying?" Honey asked.
"She said that Mori startled her," Tamaki replied, but still looking at this girl who resembled him so much. Then he asked the question that had been bothering him.
'Who are you?'
'I told you, I am you sister, Izumi Sauo,' she said, looking confused.
'But I don't have a sister,' Tamaki said gently. Izumi frowned and shook her head.
'You do! You just didn't know! I have been living with Mother in France!' she said.
'Mother!?' Tamaki said, shocked. He hadn't heard or seen his mother since he was small, his grandmother had forbidden it. Was it possible that Mother had had another child?
'How is Mother?' he asked urgently getting down on his knees and grabbing her hands. She searched his eyes then looked away.
'Fine,' was all she would say. Tamaki sighed.
'Why are you here?' He asked. She only shook her head. He sighed again.
'Okay how did you get here?' She looked up at him and tears started to form in her eyes.
'It was a long journey, but Mother said I would know you right away when I found you. She told me about your school. She wanted us to meet, I-I ,' she started crying, Tamaki pulled her close and rubbed her back
'Shh, shh, it's okay, I'm here,' he said soothingly, if this girl was really his sister then she might be able to get him to his mother.
"Maybe we should go take her and get the test done to make sure she is who she says she is," Kyoya said, his father ran off the France whenever he could and all of the Oturi boys knew multiple languages including French.
"I don't know, she seems pretty traumatized, is it really a good idea to take her to a hospital?" Haruhi said, watching Tamaki and Izumi with uneasiness.
"Then why don't we bring the hospital to her," Kyoya said, a cell phone in his hand already barking orders into it. A moment later he hung up, "They will arrive shortly."
"It's scary how you do that," Haruhi said. Izumi finally stopped sobbing, Tamaki still held her rubbing her back and stroking her hair.
A moment later there was a knock at the door, and at Kyoya's command the medics entered pulling along fancy machinery. Izumi shrieked at the sight and clung to Tamaki more. Haruhi tried not to roll her eyes. She didn't like another girl all over Tamaki.
'It's alright, these machines will help us know who you are,' Tamaki said.
'But you know who I am, I told you,' she looked scared and Tamaki had a fierce wave of protectiveness flow through him. The emotion took him by surprise, he had just met this girl yet he already wanted to defend her. Strange.
'I know, but this is just to make sure,' Tamaki said, Izumi looked back and forth between Tamaki and the machines, biting her lip she finally nodded.
"I got doctors that can speak French, so it should be fine," Kyoya said. Tamaki nodded and led the girl over. The doctors poked her with weird things that hurt and took blood out of her, Izumi first tried to struggle but Tamaki kept telling her it would be alright. Maybe this was just some weird Japanese thing that they did to all of their guests. Either way, she didn't like it but if Tamaki wanted her to do it she would. About half an hour later the results came in.
"She is defiantly you sister," the doctor said, reading the papers the machine had popped out. Tamaki stared at the girl. She was his sister, but how did he not know.
"Full blood too, you share the same parents," the doctor continued. Tamaki looked at the doctor.
"No, that's not possible," he said.
"I'm just telling you what the tests say," the doctor replied.
"Thank you, that will be all," Kyoya said, dismissing the crew. In a minute the machines where gone and Tamaki was left staring at the girl. It was true, it was weird, it was a miracle.
…
It was late that evening and everyone was gone, the school was closed and Izumi was left to wonder the halls. She really didn't know what to do. It had been hard enough to get into this place there was no way she was leaving again. She hadn't expected Tamaki to take her home, but now that she was her she didn't know what to do.
'Mama, I miss you,' she said, as she looked out at the stars through one of the huge windows. By chance she found her way to the nurse's room and was happily surprised to find it was full of beds. She laid down a quickly fell asleep.
