Hey Everyone! Sorry I took so long to post up my new chapter. I just have been very busy lately. I'll try to write new chapters faster.
Well, this is chapter FOUR!!! YEY!!! I hope you enjoy reading it.
.:Disclaimer:. nothing of ouran belongs to me except for Miharu Mizuhashi.
Miharu and Haruhi finally got to school but no matter what Haruhi did she couldn't get Miharu to step across the gate to get to the schools building. It was as if Miharu's shoes were cemented to the ground and nothing could move her.
"Come on Miharu we are going to be late if we don't keep walking," said Haruhi with a worried face.
Miharu just stared blankly toward the building and was talking to herself under her breath. "I can't, I can't, I can't."
She suddenly snapped out of it and looked straight into Haruhi's eyes and yelled out, "Haruhi. I can't do it! I can't go in wearing this. I have to go back and change."
Miharu turned around to go back to the house but Haruhi grabbed her hand and told her with sincerity, "Remember what we talked about at home? Well, I'm still here and I will stay until we get through the day. I promise."
Miharu was surprised but she was so happy that her eyes began to tear up. She nodded and said, "okay Haruhi. Let's go." She wiped her eyes and held Haruhi's hand tightly which seemed to give her more confidence to keep walking toward the building.
Although she was confident, she could feel everyone's eyes staring at her. Then she could hear people whispering with one another. Miharu just closed her eyes and kept pressing forward. Miharu opened her eyes, and before she knew it, they were in the classroom. Miharu was so confused considering she was sitting at her desk already. She raised her head and saw Haruhi who was standing in front of her desk. Haruhi smiled big bent down and said, "See. Nothing happened. You are safe."
Miharu was still confused of how it happened but she was very happy. Miharu suddenly felt very uneasy considering everyone was staring at her and whispering between one another. Miharu thought to her self, "I definitely shouldn't have done this to my uniform. Oh gosh. Why am I such a fashion freak? Why couldn't I just wear the uniform like every normal girl would."
Miharu looked down at her desk and clutched her hands into fists and began to shake. Haruhi simply put her hand on top of Miharu's and said, "Don't worry. Everything will be all right. I won't let anyone hurt you."
Miharu nodded once again and Haruhi walked toward her desk. Miharu sighed and hoped that Haruhi was right. She hoped nothing would happen. Not anything bad at least.
***********
Classes have ended and like yesterday Haruhi went to her club with the twins.
"Just like Haruhi said, nothing happened. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do today while I wait for Haruhi." Miharu started packing her stuff when suddenly a group of girls stood in front of her desk. At first Miharu did not notice them but she felt a bad aura surrounding her and she saw shadows on her desk. She shivered and looked up and saw that it was the girls from yesterday. Miharu smiled and said, "hi girls. How are you today? I can talk today since I have quite a while to kill before I have to go home."
The girls were not happy with Miharu. One of the girls got irritated of how happy Miharu was and slammed Miharu's desk. Miharu jumped and began to worry. She did not know what to do at this situation except stare at the girls with confusion.
"WHAT WERE YOU DOING HOLDING HARUHI-KUN'S HAND TODAY?" yelled out the girl who slammed the desk.
Miharu was surprised at what she was hearing. When suddenly it hit her. "Everyone thinks Haruhi is a boy," thought Miharu.
Miharu did not know what to say. She could not simply tell them the truth because they wouldn't believe her and it would just make the situation worse. She just had to come up with something.
"umm –" Miharu replied quietly.
"HUH?"
"I was just shaking Haruhi's hand. It's not like I was actually holding his hand."
The girls stared at her with disgust.
"Do you really think we are that stupid? We saw you holding hands all the way from the front gate to the classroom. Not only did we see it, but so did the whole school! And how dare you call him only by his first name?!" yelled out the girl.
The other girls just stood there staring at her angrily with their arms crossed.
Miharu was very sad and didn't know what to do. All she thought was that she had to apologize. Miharu opened her mouth to reply when suddenly a large shadow stood behind her and a deep voice called out to her. She turned around slowly and saw that it was Takashi Morinozuka. Miharu then began to feel her body slowly feeling heavier and heavier. She could not believe she was having two bad things happen to her at the same time. Miharu turned back around to face the girls.
"Are these girls bothering you?" bellowed Takashi Morinozuka while giving the girls a glare.
The girls got startled and replied with fright, "no… we are not bothering her. We were just having a friendly chat. Isn't that right girls?" They all nodded nervously and said "yeah." Then the leader of the pack said, " So we'll be going now Miharu. We'll see you tomorrow." The girls walked away but they were not happy at all.
Miharu was very confused about what happened considering the girls were very upset with her. She just shrugged and stood up and walked to the front of the class. Miharu turned around and faced Takashi Morinozuka.
"Thank you very much for helping me out Mori-senpai. You already know my secret so I will not hide it from you. I am very afraid of you but at this distance I think I am okay. So thank you again." Miharu bowed, rose up, and stared at Mori. He simply stared back without saying anything.
There was a very long and awkward silence. Miharu didn't know what to say next so she started to fidget. Mori then started walking toward Miharu. She noticed this and so she took steps back. He was not stopping and so Miharu did not either until she hit the wall and she had nowhere to go but the door. By the time Miharu thought of running to the door it was to late because Mori was already standing right in front of Miharu. It was at that time that Miharu panicked, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness.
************
Meanwhile at the third music room each one of the host club members are working very hard. When suddenly Mitstukuni Haninozuka comes out of the back room crying. All the girls went to him to comfort him.
"What's wrong Honey?" said one of the girls with long brown hair.
"I can't find Takashi. Where is he?" sobbed Honey.
Everyone looked around and couldn't believe that they haven't noticed him leave the room. Then a girl with shoulder length black hair said, "It's okay Honey. I bet he just went to the bathroom."
Then Honey blinked with relief and hugged the girl saying happily, "okay. I believe you. You are probably right. Thank you!" Because of Honey's reaction all the girls screamed of joy and blushed saying, "HE'S SO CUTE!" Honey simply smiled and ran off to eat some sweets. Although Honey seemed satisfied with the reply he got, the other hosts were still wondering what happened.
***********
Half an hour has passed and there are only fifteen minutes left until the club meeting ends. Yet Mori has not returned from where ever he went. Everyone was starting to worry considering he didn't tell anyone where he was going. There were only a couple of girls left at the club including the group who were bothering Miharu earlier in the classroom. The girls were still bothered by what they saw in the morning but they still requested Haruhi since they like her so much. Although they were together with Haruhi they noticed that she was kind of dazed. Then the leader of the group asked, "What's wrong Haruhi? Are you not feeling well?" Haruhi came out of her thoughts and said, "oh. No. Sorry girls. I was just thinking about something."
Suddenly the doors opened wide and in came Takashi Morinozuka with Miharu Mizuhashi in his arms. He went straight to the bed that they had in the room and placed her there. All the hosts were surprised of what they saw, especially Haruhi.
"Sorry girls I have to go and check up on Miharu. I have to make sure she is okay. I'll definitely put you on the top of my list for tomorrow." Haruhi stood up and ran toward the bed.
Tamaki Suoh then stood up and said out loudly, "I'm sorry girls but I will have to end today's early. I am sorry for the miss convenience, but everyone who is in the middle of their appointments, we will reschedule you to be the first ones tomorrow." All the girls wined and walked out quietly without complaints. The only ones who were unsatisfied were Haruhi's group of girls. They became even more hateful toward Miharu but they just left with angry faces and crossed arms. Kyoya noticed this but he just let them be and went toward where the rest of the hosts were crowding.
They were all staring at Miharu and Haruhi looked up at Mori and said, "What happened? Why is Miharu unconscious?"
Mori looked strait into Haruhi's face and said monotonously, "I got too close."
Everyone looked at him with confused face. They were amazed how simple Mori was with his words. Miharu then groaned and moved a little, she was coming to. She opened her eyes slowly and everything was blurry at first but after a few blinks she could see clearly, everyone staring at her. Miharu blushed and went straight under the covers. Haruhi went to uncover her and asked, "What happened Miharu? Did you get sick?"
Miharu uncovered herself and sat up slowly. She scratched her head, thought for a little while and said after a long pause, "I don't know." Everyone except Mori fell on their knees from finding out how simple even Miharu could be. They thought she was going to give a long explanation of what happened considering she had to be carried into the room. Miharu then saw that Mori was staring at her with such strong eyes. She blushed, looked down on the covers, and said, "I don't even know how I got here. All I remember is being in the classroom packing my bag." They all stood up and Honey said excitingly, "Takashi brought you here carried like a princess." Then the twins said simultaneously, "Yeah. It was like a princes saved from the top of the tower." Then Honey finished by saying, "By her prince in shining armor." Then they all pictured this fairytale like scene as if it actually happened that way. Miharu blushed and shook her hands saying,
"That can't be true. There is no way anyone would do that."
"It's true Miharu. We were all surprised when Mori-senpai suddenly came in the room carrying you," Haruhi said with worried eyes.
Miharu looked down at the covers, blushed and stayed quiet not knowing what to say. Mori just turned around got his bag and headed toward the door. Honey noticed this so he also did the same and followed him out the door saying, " Hold on Takashi!" He turned around and said, "Bye Bye Miharu. I hope you feel better." He waved goodbye and closed the door. Kyoya then said, " I guess we'll take our leave as well." Tamaki then said, "Wait! Why do I have to go? I want to know what happened to Miharu." Then Hikaru said schemingly, "I guess we'll be the only ones to hear her story." He turned to look at Tamaki and smirked. Tamaki then straitened up and said,
"Oh no you don't. You both are also coming with us."
"AWWW. But we don't want too."
After their little dispute, all the hosts were gone and only Haruhi and Miharu were left alone. Miharu stood up from the bed and Haruhi said,
"Are you sure you can stand?"
Miharu looked at her and said with a smile on her face, "yes. I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be okay? It's not like I got a broken foot or anything." Haruhi frowned at her but Miharu just said, "How 'bout we take off too. We have to make dinner for your dad." Haruhi wasn't really satisfied but she just nodded and said, "okay."
They went back to the classroom to grab Miharu's stuff and took off.
**********
The afternoon went by pretty quick and before they knew it, it was time to go to bed. Haruhi then tried asking Miharu what happened. At this point Miharu has remembered everything what happened but she did not want to trouble Haruhi so she just shrugged and said,
"I already told you I don't remember. Sorry, but if I knew I would tell you."
"Sorry. I just wish I could do something for you especially when I promised nothing would happen. I'm sorry for leaving you alone. I should've brought you with me to the club."
Miharu looked at her with sorrow eyes and said, "It's not your fault. It's not like you have to protect me 24/7."
"I know I don't but the problem is that I promised. Next time I won't leave you alone." Haruhi put a fist up next to her face to show her confidence.
When Haruhi said this Miharu thought of the girls who gave her trouble. She did not want these girls to do anything else to her so she said,
"It's okay Haruhi. I really appreciate you being there for me but you don't have to go through that trouble for me."
"But –"
"It's okay. I got a better idea. How about we try something new tomorrow. I'll leave the house before you tomorrow morning and I'll come home alone. Just to see how brave I am."
"Why – "
"Please Haruhi. Do it for me. I want to get rid of my fear. Please" Miharu kneeled down hoping Haruhi wouldn't think anything bad of her.
There was a short pause and Haruhi interrupted it by saying,
"Okay. I will help you Miharu. I am so proud of you. Just make sure you call me when you get to school and when you get home."
Miharu was amazed that Haruhi agreed so easily. She then smiled and agreed with Haruhi. They went to their beds and turned the lights off. Although Miharu had a long day she was unable to fall asleep. She was too scared of what was going to happen to her tomorrow. Even though she couldn't stop going though her day, because of all her worrying and thinking, she fell asleep without even noticing.
There you have it. Chapter four in the flesh. Tell me what you thought. If you have any ideas that I could put in my story, let me know. I'll give you credit for it. Thanks Everyone!!! I'll try to put chapter five sooner then I did with this one.
