"I-I'm so sorry Mrs. Hitachiin!! Why are you in my house?!" Katya helped the red headed woman up. "Well I had heard that your parents had fallen on hard times so I wanted to surprise your mother." Yuzuha held up a giant basket with tons of stuff in it, "it also has her first paycheck in it." Katya just stared at the woman.
"I'll just leave this hear and be on my way," Yuzuha said as she placed he basket on a counter. "You rest up now, you have school in the morning" Yuzuha smiled and left the house.
Katya just stood there, "that woman is uh...eccentric.."
The next day Katya was headed to her Japanese class. Since she wasn't fluent in the language she was required to take it.
The blue-eyed blonde sat down in her seat and took out her textbook with Japanese characters on it. She sighed and started to doodle on the paper in front of her. Her doodles looked like ballet shoes and tiny dancers.
"So you are a dancer!" a voice spoke loudly. Katya jumped and almost fell out of her seat. She looked to the source of the noise and she saw Tamaki. "Tamaki? What are you doing here, this is a Japanese class for foreign students," she adjusted all of her items to make room for him.
Tamaki sat beside her and placed a book down in front of him, "I am foreign, I'm French." Katya nodded, "Ah, ok, how long have you lived here? You seem to speak Japanese well." Tamaki smiled, "A while, but I prefer English and French. I know Japanese enough to run a business but not to have a conversation."
The two of them kept talking, Katya learned about Tamaki's mother and Tamaki learned about Katya's grandmother. The teacher came into the room and they started class.
The school had all students learn English and Japanese at a young age. But foreign students were only required to learn one at a time. Katya knew a bit of English and more Japanese because of her mother teaching it to her.
Soon class was over and tamaki looked over to Katya, "would you like to have lunch with me?" Katya didn't expect that but she nodded and smiled anyway, "Sure." Katya put her backpack on and walked with Tamaki to the lunch room.
Multiple girls saw them walking and whispered and glared. Seeing their favorite host with a girl didn't make them too happy. "So, Katya, why didn't you like it when Kyoya said Ekaterina?" Tamaki asked as the walked into the café.
"Ekaterina is more of a formal name, for documents, teachers, and other stuff like that. Katya derives from it and it's much easier to say," she giggled and ordered some food for herself. Tamaki blushed slightly when she giggled, before he thought of her as just another girl, but now they were becoming close and he honestly thought she was kind of cute.
Tamaki saw his fellow hosts and decided not to sit with them. Instead he led Katya to a booth seat and sat across from her. Katya picked her food apart, not really knowing where to start. All she had wanted was solyanka, a typical Russian dish(which she was surprised they even made), and she received a 3 course meal. They gave her the "Russian Cuisine" which was solyanka to start, pelmeni as the main course, and a pirozhki accompanied by hot tea.
She felt sentimental, these were what her babushka would make before a big recital. She looked at Tamaki's plate and he had just a simple sushi meal. "Would you like to try some, Tamaki?" she asked.
"Sure, what is it?" he looked over her tray. "I think you'd like this," she pulled some of her pirozhki and held it up to him. Out of instinct, he ate it from her hand and blushed, "S-sorry! It's a habit..."
Katya looked at him funny and found some hand sanitizer in her bag and cleaned her hands with it. Tamaki blushed embarrassed and looked away from Katya. "It's alright...just warn me next time," Katya laughed and put the hand sanitizer back in her bag.
"Boss!!!" The twins bum rushed the table and sat in the seats. "What do you two devils want?! I'm trying to enjoy my da-, my lunch with Katya!" Tamaki yelled and glared at the twins. "We had an idea for today's host club!" Hikaru grinned and scooter closer to Katya. Katya just blinked, she didn't realize that these guys felt comfortable being around a girl they just met.
Kaoru was bouncing in his seat and blurted it out before Hikaru could say it, "Let's have a Fashion show! A really high fashion one! Mom said she would dress all of us up, including Katya!" Katya looked at Kaoru, "How does your mother know me?" She hasn't put two and two together about the twins being related to Yuzuha.
"Your mother works for her, duh," Hikaru rolled his eyes, "Are you dumb or something?" Katya shrunk down into her seat, feeling really stupid. "Hikaru! That was mean!" Kaoru scolded his brother. Hikaru pouted and crossed his arms while muttering to himself.
"I'm sorry Katya, he didn't mean it," Kaoru held her hand and smiled. Katya felt a little better but scooted away from Hikaru, who was next to her.
Hikaru got up and ran away from the group; Kaoru ran after him, "Hikaru! Come back!!"
Tamaki looked to Katya, "would you like to be apart of our fashion show?" He grinned. Katya shrugged, "I guess...as long as it isn't too long..." she thought about her dance practice.
"Yay! It's settled, you'll be our super model!"
