Chapter 4: At the Ootori Mansion Part 1

Hanako's POV

The chairman was just telling me who will be my host family when his secretary came in and told him that his visitor has arrived. He went inside his office and talked to his visitor. I was waiting patiently while he talked.

A few minutes later, "Come in." Called the chairman.

I walked in the office to see that the chairman's visitor was, "Kyouya-senpai?!" Oops.

"Hanako-san, you already met Kyouya-kun? Good then, you have met his friends and my son, right?" The chairman asked.

I was confused. All I know is the Host Club was his friends. Who was the chairman's son?

"Anou… Who's your son, sir?"

"You never knew my name, right? My name is Suou Yuzuru."

A Suou? So that means he's Tamaki-senpai's father?

"Your Tamaki-senpai's father? It's an honor to meet his father. Please forgive my rudeness earlier."

"It's ok, Hanako-san. Now that was settled, Hanako-san, Kyouya-kun and his family will be your host family 'till your parents arrive."

Pause and rewind; did he just say that Kyouya's family is my host family?! There are two likely reasons why my parents choose his family. One, the Kinomoto Industries works together with the Ootori Group. Two, my parents are thinking of an arranged marriage between me and Kyouya. Some how, the 2 reason is more reasonable…

"Hai. Thank you for telling me, Suou-san." I noticed that I had uneasiness in my voice.

"It's an honor to have you in the family, Hanako."

I don't get how he can do that! He's so calm, yet his eyes are filled with shock. Of course, I've only known him for a day.

"One last thing;" The chairman said. "Hanako-san, since your family is very well known and your parents aren't here yet, you will attend, as a representative, the monthly meetings with the Suou, Ootori, Hitachiin, Haninozuka, and Morinozuka."

What? Why? I don't even have a clue on what my parents do in the industry. I'm only 15 and when I turn 16 , they'll train me so when my parents retire, I'll take control.

"Hanako-san," The chairman continued. "The first meeting will be on the 30th of March."

"Anou… Suou-san? What will I be doing in the meetings?"

"Listen to each idea given, give as much ideas as you can, and tell your parents."

Wow, that's easy. I bet it'll be boring like any other meetings.

"Hai. Thank you for informing me. My parents will be informed of this."

The chairman shook his head telling me I don't have to.

"You don't have to." See, I was right! "Your parents know all about this. Actually, your parents were the ones who specifically said what I just said to you."

I knew there was a catch! All I need to do is what the catch is…

The chairman gave us his smile and said, "Now, off you go. I bet Hanako-san is very tired."

Kyouya stood up and bowed.

"We will be on our way. Sayonara, Suou-san."

I stood up and bowed also. Kyouya grabbed my wrist and led me to his limo. On our way, a small silent tension was creeping between us. I hate silence. I jumped in front of him and put my face near his. Kyouya stopped and stared at me like I'm some kind of freak. I stared at him for awhile and saw that he was fighting off a blush. And he calls himself a host.

"Are you ok senpai?" I tilted my head with a question mark near my head.

Kyouya cleared his throat and reverted back to the normal yet weird Shadow King. He he he, I like that nickname. 

"Yes, Hanako. How about you? You look like you don't want to live with my family."

Of course I don't! I wanna go back to the US with my friends and family. I wanna visit Aunt Elle's grave, talk to her, and give her flowers… I miss everyone so much. My face made a frown and I covered my face in the shadows.

"I'm ok with it." I faced him and gave him a fake smile. "I always adapt to my parents decisions. I never complain, whine, or anything that embarrass the industry."

From what I said, he just chuckled. Wait, chuckled? What's he laughing about?! I made a face that says, WTF are you laughing about??

"To answer your question, I'm chuckling because we much in common."

My eyes went big. Can he read minds??

"And no, I can't read minds."

I was shocked once again, but I reverted back to my normal self. We arrived at the limo and were on our way to the Ootori Mansion. On the way there, silence came back.

'Okaa-san, otou-san, I wonder how you're doing without me…' I had a blank look on my face and sighed.

"Hanako, you ok?"

Kyouya's voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Gomen, I was just thinking about my parents." After I said the last word, the driver announced that they arrived at the Ootori Mansion. As soon as I got out, my eyes went big. The mansion was bigger than my mansion in the US!! Note to myself: Tell mom and dad to ask for a smaller mansion than the Ootori's. I hate big houses.

Kyouya grabbed my hand, once again, and showed me to the door. Of course, we would have to open the doors, but someone expected us. As soon as we opened the door, I saw my 2nd favorite person in the world: Hanakino Mika. She's my personal maid and has been taking care of me since I was little girl.

"Irashaimassen (Welcome), Hanako, Ootori-kun." Mika bowed.

"Mika-chan, you know Kyouya-senpai?" I asked curiously.

"Why yes, Hanako. I met him this morning before he left for school today. I told him that I was your personal maid."

"She also told me all about you, Hanako."

'Mika-chan…' Wait, why would Kyouya want to know more about me? Oh well.

"Ootori-kun, is it ok if you escort Hanako to her room? It's 5 doors down to the left in the second floor." Mika said. "If you will excuse me, I have to take care of the food tonight." She bowed and left.

Of course Mika-chan would have to fix the food tonight. I bet Ootori-san (Kyouya's dad) tasted Mika-chan's cooking. Kyouya led me upstairs to my room. I noticed that not one family photo are up on the walls or on tables. I bet they just like it to keep it to themselves.

We arrived at a blue colored door. Kyouya opened it for me. As soon as I entered the room, I saw that everything has been arranged. It looks like Mika-chan fixed my room. It was also big!! It was like a little house; two floors; first floor is where the sofa, table, my clothes, and my computer are. The second floor is where the bed, an extra table, and the rest of my clothes are. I was awed. Is the Ootori Group richer than us??

"Thank you, Kyouya-senpai. I hope to enjoy my time here." I said.

"It's a pleasure to have you in the family, Hanako. Please excuse me, I will be going now." With that he left me alone in my room.

I walked around my room to find my plushies all neat and stacked neatly and an extra box. It was labeled, 'My Private Things.' It looks like Mika-chan didn't open it and I'm happy. I heard a knock on my door and was asked to come in. I answered the door to see a maid.

"Kinomoto-san, dinner will be ready in 20 minutes." She said.

"Thank you for informing me. Please excuse me."

The maid bowed and left the room. I went into the bathroom to freshen up before dinner. It was filled all my things as usual. I turned on the water and let it fill the bathtub. As I was stripping off my clothes,

I heard another knock at my bedroom door.

A/N: Gomen!! I'm so late!!! It was late because when school was still in session, I had a BIG History Project!! Then, when school was over, my mom made the whole family CLEAN and REARRANGE the WHOLE house!!!! I never have time for the computer! Now, I did and FINALLY finished the chapter!! YES!!!

Hunny: Yay! Smart-chan finished it! But, I'm not in the chapter...

Tamaki: Same here!! How come my dad's there and I'm not?!

SamrtOotori: Sheesh... You all will be back in a few chapters.

Tamak&Twins: WHAT?!?!?

Twins: Wah!! We won't have fun in a few chapters...

Kyouya: Before she forgets, SmartOotori doesn't own Ouran. Bisco Hatori does.

Hanako: She owns me, Mika-chan, and other characters that will come! She also owns the plot of this story!

SmartOotori: Thanks you guys! Ja!
