Chapter 3
After a couple of minutes, Haruhi had explained everything to Minato. From her first day in the wealthy to how she came in debt to 8 million yen to this club.
"I see… that does seem like a doosey of a problem. Haruhi-chan, why don't I payback the debt for you?" Minato offered. "No thank you, I can do this on my own." She said with confidence. "Humph, still independent as always." To be honest, she just wanted to stay with the guys, because they made her happy and she felt like they were like a huge family when they are together.
"So this dumb blonde here thought you were a guy till the end huh? Moreover he's forcing you to do something like this, he may be the person I have ever met." Said Minato with venom in his words.
This caused Tamaki to go back into his sulking corner and trace circles with his finger on the ground.
"Is he always like this?" Minato asked. "Afraid so." Kyoya said with a sigh.
"So tell us how did a rich person like you know Haruhi, a simple commoner?" Hikaru asked bluntly. 'Simple commoner?' Haruhi thought while raising her fist in anger.
"Well actually my family was never rich to begin with. When I was a kid my family didn't have much money, so they decided to move somewhere else in Japan and look for a better future there. Through years of hard work, my mother and father became the president and vice-president of their own software corporation." Minato told.
"OOHH MY! What lovely tale of love and hardship! Your family are truly heroes!" Tamaki wept with tears sadness and joy from this tale. "He-heroes? I don't think we're-" But Tamaki wouldn't let him finish what he was saying. "Oh but it's true! A family who used to eat cheap food and relying on hand me downs. What an epic story of love and drama, why it should be made into a movie!"
"I think there's movie like that already senpai." Haruhi said with a bored look on her face, but the 'king' just ignored her and kept fantasizing about Minato's story.
"-Sigh- But I'm glad you're family make a lot of money now Minato-kun." She said with a sincere smile on her face. "Thanks Haruhi-chan, that means a lot for me." Said Minato also a sincere smile on his face.
"But that still doesn't answer how you knew Haru-chan." Said Hunny with a confused look on his face.
"Well before we moved, I was Haruhi-chan's next door neighbor and we went to the same school together and we went from there. Plain and simple." Minato said.
There was silence in the air before Minato asked, "What's with the silence?"
"That sounded so boring. Nothing special at all, there's no drama or anything in there!" the twins shouted in unison.
"Well what do you expect it? Our meeting to be something from a manga or animé or something?" Minato angrily shouted.
"Oh by the way Minato-kun, how's little Iria-chan anyway?" Haruhi asked. "Oh she's doing well Haruhi-chan, she's happy with all the toys and clothes that my parents are able to buy for her." Minato answered.
"Who's Iria?" Tamaki asked. "She's my little sister, hold on for a sec." Minato reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet and inside it had a picture of a little girl in a pink dress. (A/N: I'm too lazy to describe her, so think of her as a younger Reala from Tales of Destiny 2)
"She's so-" Tamaki said. "CUUUUUUUUTE!" the twins and the two blondes shouted.
"Hey Minato-kun do you think I could visit your family? I would love to see them again, it has been a very long time." She asked while smiling.
"I'm sorry, but you can't. You see my parents are far away from where I live. So they sent me to live in an area near Ouran, so that I could attend here." Minato said.
"Huh? That seems like a mean thing to do." Said Haruhi. "Well they want me to get the best education, since they want me to take over their business." Said Minato. "But that seems kind of harsh though don't you think?" She retorted. "But I want to do this, I want to take over the family business." He said with an honest tone.
"Hold on a minute! Kyoya-senpai you said that this transferred here today then how come we didn't see him?" Kaoru asked. "What are you talking about? I'm in your class, heck I even sit behind one of you jerk twins." Minato said angrily. "Really? We never noticed." The twins said in unison. "I'm sorry Minato-kun, but I guess I didn't pay attention as well. I didn't see you in our class." Haruhi said with her eyes closed and nervously smiling.
When she opened her eyes she spotted Minato-kun in Tamaki's sulking corner, kneeling on the ground on all four. "Of course you guys wouldn't notice, I'm just a nobody." He said in a depressing voice. "Hey that's my corner get out of there!" Tamaki demanded.
"Well anyways," Minato said as he quickly recovered, "Haruhi-chan you want to go to that old restaurant, the one where our parents took us to when we were kids?" he asked. "Sure I'd love to!" she answered happily.
This left the entire host club shocked with their mouths jaw-dropped opened, except for Mori and Kyoya, who still kept their cool.
"Hey what's the deal?" the twins demanded with a hint of anger and jealousy. "You never want to hang out with us!" Hikaru stated with his fist in the air. "Yeah what gives?" Kaoru said with his fist also in the air.
Tamaki made a dash towards her and grabbed her face with both of his hands. "Why daughter why? You don't want to spend quality time with daddy, but you'd rather be with this scrupulous boy?" Tamaki asked with dread in his voice. "Hey don't talk about people like when they're around you!" Minato angrily said.
"He's my old friend, of course I'd hang out with him. And please let go of my face before I call for a restraining order." She said while her eyes were looking in a different direction. Tamaki slowly let go of his hands and collapsed on to the ground with soul flying out of his mouth.
"Oh look! It's milord's slow motion technique!" Kaoru stated. While were focused on Tamaki's despair. The childhood friends had left the room and were on their way to get some food.
But only one of the member's had payed attention to their leave, who else but Mori. However he had a puzzled look on his face while they were talking to Minato.
"Takashi, is something wrong?" Hunny asked his loyal cousin. "I don't know Mitsukuni." Mori replied. "Liar, there is something bothering isn't there?" Hunny said. He was always good at reading his cousin. "Well it's about Miyazaki." Said Takashi. "What about him?" Tamaki asked after he finally recovered from his sulking. Now everyone was paying attention to what Mori had to say.
"I noticed this while we were talking to him. Why did his hands always tighten into fists when we talk talked about his family?" Mori said out loud.
