Chapter Three: Yumi Meet's The Hosts!
-
After Yumi finally got over the shock of the girls uniform and was done unpacking, she helped Haruhi fix dinner. Haruhi put her father's dinner in the fridge and Yumi passed out on the cot after a hot bath.
Haruhi fell asleep herself about an hour later.
Yumi set her cell phone to go off at five forty-five the next morning, which was hard for her because she was still getting use to the time change. Yumi's phone started to vibrate madly in her pajama pocket and it started to play a loud, screaming type of song. She groaned and pulled the phone out of her pocket, and pressed the snooze button that appeared on the screen.
She lied down on the cot and pulled one of the pillows out from under her head and put it over her face. She let out a small scream, and then she kicked the blankets off of her and sat up.
She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, causing black dots to blur her vision for a few seconds. She looked around the room and squinted her eyes once her head moved in the way of the sun's rays coming through the blinds. She moved her head away and she jumped at the sound of her phone's alarm going off again.
She quickly grabbed the phone from under her other pillow and turned off the alarm. She quickly looked up and saw Haruhi grab one of her pillows and cover her ears with it.
"Sorry Haruhi," Yumi mumbled. Yumi stood up and quietly walked out of the room. She heard a snoring sound and saw that Haruhi's father's door was opened. She tiptoed across the door and into the kitchen. She walked over to the cabinets and got herself a glass of water then went into the bathroom. She took a quick shower and brushed her teeth before going back into Haruhi's room to grab a pair of her sweat pants and t-shirt.
Once she was back in the bathroom she changed and spent at least ten minutes brushing out her hair. She didn't want to risk waking anyone up with the blow-dryer so she let her hair stay wet.
She made her way out of the bathroom after cleaning up her mess and as she walked back into the room, she saw Haruhi was up and making her bed. Yumi glanced at the clock, "I thought you wouldn't be up until seven." Yumi said as she took a seat on the cot.
Haruhi shrugged, "School starts at eight so I normally get up at six thirty."
Yumi nodded, "So we have another hour and a half until school?" she asked. "Well, it takes about twenty minutes to walk to Ouran so we have an hour and ten minutes." she explained.
Yumi grinned, "Great! I can tweak my uniform before I get to Ouran!"
Haruhi stared at her, "Tweak? What do you mean by "tweak" Yumi?" she asked. Yumi grinned and reached under her cot. She pulled out one of the small plastic boxes and held it up for Haruhi to see, grinning, "Tweak as in fix it completely! It'll be Yumi-fid once I'm done with it! And "tweaking" a uniform like the Ouran uniform will take about forty-five minutes to fix! It'll be nice and ready before we leave!" Yumi explained, taking a seat on the floor and opening up the cases.
Haruhi sighed and walked over to the door, "I'm not even going to ask what you're going to do to the uniform." she mumbled as she walked out. Yumi chuckled and reached her arm over to the dresser and pulled out the middle drawer, where her uniforms and shirts were.
She pulled out the dress and draped it out on the floor, laying it flat. The skirt was puffed up because of the giant petticoat under it. "Arrg, those white truffles have got to go!" she mumbled and she flipped the silk yellow fabric up, revealing the white lacy petticoat. She took the scissors and started cutting like mad. She ripped at the petticoat, having the puffiness of the skirt to go down and down.
In a matter of minutes, all the lacy, white petticoat fabric was sitting all around her on the floor. Haruhi had just walked in and jumped when she saw the scene, "I knew the skirts were puffy, but I didn't know they were that puffy!" she mumbled.
Yumi giggled, "Yeah, you got a trash can in here?" she asked. Haruhi quickly left the room and reappeared with a plastic grocery bag, "Put everything in there," she told her.
Yumi nodded and started to clean up the puffy mess around her. Haruhi moved past her and opened the closet door, pulling out her uniform. "I'll be back in about twenty minutes. Try not to make too big of a mess," she informed her.
Yumi nodded and placed the bag on the cot, then started to pull out the rest of the plastic boxes and bags from under the cot. She then pulled the yellow fabric of the skirt back down and she examined the dress once more.
"Ew, the sleeves are a big no-no!" Yumi announced, bending forward and leaning over the dress, cutting up the puffy sleeves. After the puffy sleeves were gone, she realized that made the normal part of the sleeves shorter. She pulled open one of the bags and pulled out a white lace material and a silk white fabric.
She started to quickly stitch the lace to the white fabric and did that a second time. She then sewed the new fabric to the ends of the sleeves and the dress, connecting the two back together and then did the same with the other sleeve.
"Better, but something is still missing," Yumi mumbled staring down at the dress. She looked at the bags and started to look back and forth, thinking of ways to change the dress.
"The collar!" she said happily, noticing the long white collar around the neck with the purple ribbon. She quickly untied the ribbon and pulled at the collar, hoping it would come right out. Sadly, it was sewed to the real collar of the yellow dress and Yumi grabbed her scissors. She slid the scissors under the rim of the collar and started to cut the fabrics apart. Slowly, they ripped apart and Yumi saw that the real collar of the yellow dress was a circular opening, like any kind of t-shirt.
She grabbed the needle and yellow thread and started to sew down the cut up top of the collar. When she was finally done, she noticed the thread was easily shown and she couldn't have a sloppy looking uniform on her first day. She quickly looked in the fabric bag once more and pulled out two slips of curved edged fabric and held it up against the collar.
"Hmm, looks okay to me." she mumbled. She grabbed the black thread and placed half of the fabric on the inside of the collar, then on the outside, then began to sew then together, as she did with the other side of the collar.
She stared back down at the dress and then grabbed another one of the bags and started to searched through it.
"Oh my-!"
Yumi looked up and saw Haruhi standing in the doorway, wearing a light blue/purplish blazer and dark pants and a dark tie.
"Um, Haruhi, isn't that the boys uniform?" Yumi asked her, looking back down at the bag she was currently digging in. Haruhi walked up to Yumi and bent down on the floor, and started to examine the uniform.
"Wow, you really did tweak it a lot. It doesn't even look like it anymore; it looks, well, kinda decent." she mumbled.
Yumi grinned and nodded her head proudly, "Yeah, I might actually wear this at the mall or something once I'm done! I can't believe those girls at school wear them the way they came! It's such an icky design."
Haruhi nodded, "Yeah. You'd think they were rich enough to give the girls a good uniform like the guys."
Yumi laughed, "I know, right! Is that why you're wearing the boy's uniform? Though, I understand you would. Yellow is kind of a spring color, when your complexion is more of a winter." Yumi said, examining Haruhi's face. Haruhi chuckled nervously, "Yeah, about that," she started.
She paused when she saw Yumi pull out a red lace type of fabric, "Oh no," she mumbled. Yumi looked at her, "What? Too bright?" she asked.
Haruhi nodded then looked back down at the dress, "Why don't you add some trim to the edge, here," Haruhi said, pointing to the ends of the dress, "With black or a black lace type. That way it matches. And here," Haruhi pointed to the collar and in the very middle of the two black fabrics Yumi had sewed, where a small triangle formed an opening, "You could add a black or yellow ribbon or tie type thing there for an accessory." she explained.
Yumi stared at Haruhi then hugged her, "Omigod Haruhi! Thank you, I would have never thought of that and I'm the one who makes clothing look great! You're such a big help!"
Haruhi smiled lightly, "No problem, Yumi. Just hurry up. We have to leave in forty-five minutes."
Yumi let go of her and went back to her dress. Haruhi stood up and walked back out of the room to make some breakfast.
Yumi quickly pulled out the black fabric and a well designed black lace material. She took a sticky and clear type of tape and started to spread it across the black fabric, and then, very carefully, placed the black lace over it. She got is spread out, no lumps, and gently placed it on her cot for it to dry.
Yumi grabbed the small box she got the sticky and clear tape from and read a small portion of the directions, "It say's 'quick drying'." she mumbled as she looked back at the fabric then placed the box back on the floor.
She grabbed another bag and pulled out a small black ribbon with dyed yellow tips and tied it in a small bow. She put the bow where the triangle was on the collar and shook her head, "Not enough. It needs more flare!" she announced.
She reached under the cot and pulled out a small jewelry box and opened it up, revealing millions of different types of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. She started pushing through a small box of earrings and found what she was looking for.
"Aha! Found this little devil!" she mumbled happily, pulling out a skull earring with little black hearts dangling from the skulls mouth. She pulled off the hook and took the scissors and cut the small loop off of the earring.
She grabbed the sticky clear tape and placed it on the small triangle. She first placed the ribbon on the triangle then placed the skull over the ribbon and pressed down hard. After that was done she put the jewelry box back under the bed and then grabbed the black fabric off her cot and placed it down on at the edge of the dress. She grabbed the bobby pins and placed them in place and did that all around the dress. She flipped the end of the dress over and started to sew the two fabrics together.
Haruhi reappeared in the room ten minutes later, "Almost done?" she asked.
Yumi smiled brightly and held up the dress for Haruhi to see, "I'm done completely! What do you think?" she asked.
Haruhi studied the dress. She couldn't even tell it was an Ouran Academy girls uniform. It had a small black collar and black lace trimming at the end of the dress, their was no puff to the skirt or the shoulder part of the sleeves, and a small skull with black hearts hung at the collar with a ribbon.
"It looks really nice." she said walking up to her. Yumi nodded, "It's got a dark thing going on, but not too dark cuz the dress is still yellow and it's not puffy!"
"You're really only wearing this to school? People might make fun of you for tweaking the uniform. A few of the girls at Ouran can be really mean," Haruhi said, speaking from past experience.
Yumi paused, "Well, I don't care. I've been teased before and my parents just told me they were jealous of my individuality! If those stuck up richy rich girls have a problem with the way I dress, they have another thing coming! It only takes one call to Eddy to get a stink bomb made, or a bunch of firecrackers to go off in their shoe locker!" she explained, laughing.
Haruhi's eye twitched, "I guess you play to get even,"
Yumi nodded, "Yup! My mom always told me that if the person teasing me is annoying enough, I have full permission from her and dad to fight back. Not physically, of course, but with ticks and silliness!" she giggled.
Haruhi nodded, "I'll leave so you can change," she said, walking out of the room. Yumi nodded and started to strip from she sweats and t-shirt. She pulled on the dress and then noticed her hair was completely dry. She grabbed her brush and started to part it down the middle.
She brushed off the skirt of the dress and started to pick up all the clippings at light speed and putting them in the plastic bag. She pushed the boxes back under the cot and then walked over to the dresser. She opened the top drawer, revealing her undergarments. She grabbed a pair of ankle socks.
She fell back on the cot and put her socks on, then opened the closet door and pulled out a pair of Panda styled Mary Jane's.
She held the shoes in her hand and then grabbed a black Tote bag and slung it over her shoulder before running out of the room.
As she walked out of the room, she saw a man with long reddish hair pulled into a pony tail and wearing sweats, sitting in the living room.
"Oh! You must be Ryoji!" Yumi said happily, running up to him. He looked up at her and smiled, "Ah! Yumi! It's so nice to finally meet you!" he said happily.
Yumi tucked back the skirt of her dress as she took a seat on the floor next to him, "I love your hair, Ryoji! I wish I could get my highlights to look like it! But, sadly, it always turns out to be a light reddish color." she explained.
He nodded his head, "Yes, yes, I have a friend do my hair for free and they always add different colors to make it look like this. Oh yeah, and please call me Ranka, dear! That's the professional name I go by at the bar I work at!" he explained.
Yumi nodded, "Alright, Ranka! You told me about this bar in one of our phone conversations; I wonder if it'll be okay to visit it?! I've been to a few of those types of bars in Italy with my best guy friend! He has a part time job there and he would always invite me to go along! And he told me to check out a Transvestite bar in Japan and call him and tell him about how different it might be!" she explained.
Haruhi walked into the room and handed Yumi a small plate. "Thanks Haruhi!" she said happily.
"So, I see you've fixed up your uniform! It looks so cute on you, dear!" Ranka said. Yumi nodded, "Thanks! I've been making clothing and fixing clothing since I was about ten so it was a sitch to tweak this outfit!" she explained, taking a bite of her breakfast.
Yumi glanced at the clock in the kitchen and jumped up, "Omigod, we're gonna be late! Come on, Haruhi!" Yumi shouted, grabbing Haruhi's arm and pulling her to the door. "What's the rush? We have another five minutes before we can leave!" she called.
Yumi threw her shoes on the floor and slipped them on, "Yeah, but I want a chance to check out the school before classes start," Yumi then leaned in close to Haruhi, "And you never told me why you dress in the boys uniform," she whispered.
Haruhi sighed and slipped on her shoes and grabbed her bag, "Bye dad," Haruhi called. "Bye bye Ranka!" Yumi chipped happily. Ranka waved goodbye to both of them, "Bye, have fun!"
Haruhi and Yumi both waved before Yumi pulled open the door and pulled Haruhi out of the apartment.
After running nonstop for two blocks Yumi finally stopped and let her and Haruhi catch their breaths.
"Okay, why did we run again?" Haruhi asked a little annoyed. Yumi made a grin appear on her face, "The faster we get to school, the faster I get to see it! I've only seen pictures online, I wanna see it in person!" she explained.
Haruhi nodded, finally catching her breath. Yumi stood next to Haruhi, "Alrighty then! On to Ouran!" she shouted happily, linking their arms and walking up the street.
Haruhi chuckled and rolled her eyes. "About my uniform," Haruhi started. Yumi shook her head, "No, I think I've figured it out," she said.
Haruhi stared at her, "You have?"
Yumi nodded, "Yeah! You're just like your dad!" she said happily. Haruhi's eye twitched. "I should have guessed when Ranka told me that one time over the phone about himself and I saw you wearing the boy's uniform. Don't worry, I'm cool with it! I have a bunch of friends who cross dress! It's really normal for me." she explained happily. Haruhi shook her head, "No, no. I don't cross dress because I want to. I have to,"
Haruhi stopped mid-sentence when Yumi gasped, "Does your dad make you cross dress?!" she asked. Haruhi's sweat dropped and shook her head, "No! I have to make everyone at school think I'm a boy because I have a debt," she explained.
"A debt?" Yumi asked, raising an eyebrow. Haruhi nodded, "When I first started at Ouran, I walked into the 3rd music room and broke a really expensive vase. That vase belonged to the Host club-"
"Host club? Isn't that a little, um, not right for high school students?" Yumi asked. Haruhi shook her head, "Not like that! It's just a club where "handsome" looking rich boys from school sit around and talk and flirt with woman after school. They sometimes go on trips and do themes for the club, it gets hectic." she explained.
Yumi nodded, "So then, why do you have to dress up as a boy because of breaking a vase?" she asked. "Well, at first they thought I was a boy, because I kinda looked like one, and they made me the dog of the club, doing chores and cleaning up afterwards. Then they made me wear the boys uniform and did my hair and a bunch of other stuff and they agreed that I was the new member and if I could host enough clients, then it'll pay off the vase." she explained.
"That sucks! Having no one know your gender! The host club does know your real gender though, right?" Yumi asked.
Haruhi nodded, "Yeah. They all figured it out in their own time." she said, remembering the fact that Tamaki was the last to find out days later.
Yumi nodded, "Hmm, if it's okay with you Haruhi, is it alright if I stop by this Host Club after school? I want to meet these boys!" Yumi said happily. Haruhi nodded, "Sure, I don't care. Maybe that way you'll make some new friends or something." Haruhi thought for a moment, "Is it easy for you to fall for pretty guys?" she asked.
Yumi stared at her for a moment, "No way!" Yumi announced proudly. "My mom and dad always told me to never be a boy crazy type of girl like all the others, and I'm not! I have my own taste in men, and so far I've never really crushed on a guy. I didn't even think that Rob dude was hot when the announced the cast of Twilight when all the other girls thought he was drop dead hot! That's how much of an individual I am! Sometimes my friends back home think I'm weird for being myself so much!" Yumi laughed.
Haruhi nodded and sighed, "Good because a lot of the girls and some of the guys in school have fallen for the boys in the Host Club."
Yumi stared at her, "Did you fall for one?" She asked curiously. Haruhi paused and thought for a moment.
Yumi's curiosity increased when she saw a tint of pink color Haruhi's cheeks. "Omigod, you have! You have!" she said happily. Haruhi shook her head, "I have not, Yumi!" She argued.
Yumi laughed, "I'll believe that, for now! But I'll figure this out! Hmm, the mystery of Haruhi Fujioka's Secret Crush! I like the sound of that!"
Haruhi sighed and looked straight ahead, "There's the school," she announced. Yumi looked up and saw the giant building at the end of the street, and a crowd formed at the gate.
"Oh! Is that like a welcoming committee for me or something?!" Yumi asked excited. Haruhi took a closer look and sighed, "Ah, no. That's a crowd of girls staring at the Host Club." she mumbled.
Yumi stared at Haruhi, and then placed her hand flat above her eyes so the sun couldn't block her vision and she got a closer look.
"Oh! This is great! Now I don't have to wait until after school to meet them! Come on!" Yumi said happily, grabbing Haruhi's hand and pulling her down the street.
Haruhi stumbled forward as Yumi pulled her along, trying her best to keep up with the running girl. Haruhi noticed as they ran passed some of the Ouran students that a lot of the boys were staring at Yumi. She kept looking back to take another look but that only caused her to stumble again as Yumi kept pulling her.
They slowed their pace as they reached the big crowd. Yumi let go of Haruhi's hand and stared in awe at the crowd of girls, "Damn, there are a lot of fan girls." she told Haruhi.
Haruhi nodded and stepped in front of her. She tapped on one of the fan girl's shoulders, "Excuse us," she said.
The girl turned her head and she began to blush, "Oh! Hi Haruhi!" she said, taking a step aside so Haruhi could get through. Haruhi smiled at her and nodded her hand in thanks and Yumi followed Haruhi into the crowd.
They finally made their way past all the girls and Yumi stared up at the sight of the six boys. She took a note of the twins, and that the one blonde in the middle seemed to be the one the fan girls kept calling out to. She saw a little blonde boy standing next to a very tall solemn looking man. Behind the blonde in the middle was a boy with glasses, writing something down in a book.
Yumi felt extremely pissed that all these girls were fawning over some pretty boys and took a few steps forward, "Alright, alright!" she shouted, stepping in front of the group of boys and holding up her hands.
All the girls stared at her curiously. Yumi put her hands on her hips, "You shouldn't crowd these guys! You already take up their time after school! Give them time to breathe, gosh!" she shouted.
"Who in the world are you?!" one girl hissed. Yumi smiled proudly, "The name's Yumi! I'm Haruhi's friend and I'm starting in class 1-A today!"
Tamaki took a step forward as the crowd of girls disappeared, who were obviously pissed off at Yumi. "Y-You're the one staying with Haruhi?" he asked.
Yumi perked up and turned her head. She grinned brightly, "Yup! I'm Yumi De Luca! What's your name, dude?" she asked. Tamaki stared at her, "D-Dude?" he mumbled. Haruhi stepped up to her, "That's Tamaki-Sempai." she told her.
Yumi nodded, "Aha! Tamaki, is it? Nice to meet you! And who are the rest of you?" she asked, looking at the others in the club. Honey stepped up to Yumi and smiled, "I'm Mitsukuni, but everyone calls me Honey, and that's Takashi, but everyone calls him Mori!" he explained.
"Ah, so you're in grade-?" Yumi asked. "Grade 3, Yumi," Haruhi told her. Yumi stared at Honey, and then laughed, "Okay! Nice to meet you Honey! And, might I say, you are so cute! You remind me of my little brother!"
Honey smiled up at Yumi and walked back over to Mori. She then moved her stare to Kyoya, "And who are you Mister Glasses?" she asked. Kyoya looked up at her and smiled a greeting type of smile, "Hello, I am Kyoya Ootori, nice to meet you Miss De Luca." he introduced himself. Everyone in the club seemed to freeze slightly at Kyoya's niceness, but Yumi was unfazed.
She then moved to look at the twins, "Ah twins; my specialty! What are you're names and which is which?" she asked. Hikaru and Kaoru both grinned like the little devils they were.
"I'm Kaoru Hitachiin!" Hikaru smiled.
"And I'm Hikaru Hitachiin!" Kaoru said. Haruhi sighed, knowing who was who, and realized they were tricking Yumi. Yumi stared at them, "Really?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
The twins nodded. Yumi shrugged, "Oh, because I thought you were Hikaru," Yumi pointed to Hikaru, "And you were Kaoru," she said pointing to Kaoru.
Everyone in the Host Club (minus Kyoya) stared at Yumi in shock, "How did you know, Yumi-Chan?" Honey asked her, already adding the "chan" to the end of her name. Yumi chuckled, "Intuition, the fact I have twin siblings, and that some fan girls said goodbye to Hikaru and Hikaru was the only one who waved, and Kaoru only waved when they said goodbye to him!" She laughed.
"You're more observant then I thought," Haruhi mumbled. Yumi nodded, "Yeah. Well, any of you in our class?" she asked the Hosts.
Hikaru and Kaoru both nodded, "Great! We get double the trouble now! Ha-ha! Well, let's go!" Yumi said happily, grabbing Haruhi and pulling her along.
"Wait!" Tamaki shouted. Yumi stopped her walk and turned to look at the blonde. "I do not want my Haruhi hanging with such a bad influence!" he shouted.
Yumi raised an eyebrow, "Bad influence how?" she asked. Tamaki pointed to her uniform, "Look at what you did to the uniform! What would your parents think if they found out you cut up your uniform?! And you decorated it with black fabrics and then that skull! You're obviously a rebel and a Goth! That isn't a good influence at all!" he shouted.
Yumi's eye twitched and she let go of Haruhi and took a few steps closer to Tamaki. He stared down at the short girl. She looked up at him and then smiled. "You really should think about the person you're yelling at before spitting out that shit," she smiled.
Tamaki stared at her, shocked. She then slammed her foot in his toe and when be bent forward from the pain she took the chance and slapped him in the face.
She felt proud of herself and put her hands on her hips, "ha-ha! That'll teach you to mess with me!" she announced, turning on her heal and walking back up to Haruhi, linking their arms, "Come on! Let's get going!" she said happily, pulling Haruhi along.
Behind them, the twins were laughing their asses off at Tamaki, who was sitting in his corner pouting and rubbing his sore cheek, Kyoya wasn't really fazed by the action and Honey was telling Mori about how much livelier the club will be with Yumi there, and Mori was silently agreeing.
