Chapter 4: Studying
Haruhi woke up in her bed the next morning. She figured that her dad had come home last night and put her there. She got up and went to the kitchen. She made breakfast for her and her dad. She put her dad's breakfast in the fridge with a note on it. The note read: Hey dad, if I'm not here when you get up then I'm out at the market or library.
After Haruhi left the breakfast for her dad in the fridge, she went to her room and changed into shorts and a t-shirt, as unfeminine as always. She grabbed her bag and went out the door. Her first stop was the public library. Haruhi, being the studious person she was, decided to check out books on karate and kendo so she could gain a better understanding. She checked out her books and found a quiet table in the library and sat down to start reading. She read the first few chapters of a book on karate then the first few chapters of a book on kendo. She decided she would read the books at the same time because she was learning them at about the same time. After she read the first few chapters of the books, she left the library and headed to the market. She got some things to make for dinner that night then went and checked out. She asked for an extra bag and set her books in it. She had just walked out of the market when she heard a commotion and turned to see Tamaki and the twins running at her.
"Can't I ever just have a day when they don't bother me?" She questioned herself. She was then surrounded given a group hug from the three that had been running towards her. As a result the bags she had been holding fell to the ground and upon hearing them fall she was let go. "You guys need to be careful. What would you have done if I had something breakable?" She questioned with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Sorry Haruhi." the twins chorused and rubbed the back of their heads looking guilty. Tamaki had instantly found a place to begin growing mushrooms next to a stall outside the market. Haruhi bent down to start picking up her groceries.
"We'll help you Haru-chan" said Hunny as he dropped down from Mori's shoulders and started helping Haruhi pick up her groceries. Mori also then started helping.
"Thanks you guys." Haruhi said as they finished picking up the spilled groceries and putting them back into her bags. Hunny went to pick up another bag and saw a book had fallen out of it and he looked and saw more books inside. He read the titles of the books and looked up and smiled at Haruhi.
"Haru-chan you got books on karate and kendo." He said happily and handed her the rest of the bags as she stood up.
"Yeah. I figured if I knew a little more about them training would be a little easier. The histories of both of them are kind of cool. I'm going to try to finish reading two of them over the weekend before training on Monday." she said.
"That's a good idea Haru-chan." Hunny said. Mori nodded his approval. The short conversation had brought Tamaki out of his corner.
"Haruhi you are being such a good student and still making time to go to the market to be able to feed your father. Let me carry-" he said try to offer to carry the bags but Mori had already just taken the bags from her hands.
"Let me." Mori said and held the bags.
"Thanks Mori-senpai." Haruhi said then turned to Tamaki.
"Were you saying something senpai?" she asked and that sent Tamaki sulking again. The twins were laughing loudly.
"Nice going Haruhi." Hikaru said while laughing. Haruhi was slightly confused. She then turned to Kyoya who hadn't said anything so far.
"I'm guessing you guys are staying for lunch." She stated, already knowing the answer.
"It is about that time. I already ordered sushi so no need to fret Haruhi. You cooked last time we came over. Hunny-senpai also has cakes waiting at your apartment. Shall we return? Your father was wondering when you would be back because the note you left didn't specify a time." Kyoya said. He had everything set up and he had already rad the note.
"Okay lets go." She grumbled and led the way back to her apartment. She opened the door and went into the kitchen after removing her shoes. Mori followed and deposited the bags on the counter then joined Hunny and the others who went to sit with Ranka in the small living area.
"Oh Haruhi they found you. Mori even carried your bags, how gentlemanly, unlike that Suoh boy." Ranka said which sent Tamaki into the closet to begin growing mushrooms. Haruhi looked at him.
"Senpai stop doing that I have to clean that up." She said and he stopped growing mushrooms and went back to the group. He still had a sad look on his face though. "Is regular tea okay you guys?" Haruhi asked.
"It's okay we brought tea again." Kaoru said and handed her a box of tea. Haruhi took it and headed back into the kitchen. While to water was heating up, Haruhi put her groceries away and set her books by her backpack. Ranka's phone rang and he answered and had a short conversation. He got up and went into the kitchen to talk to Haruhi then he went to his room and in a few minutes he came out ready for his job. When he went to the door he turned to Kyoya.
"I have to go into work early, please watch after my daughter and keep that boy in check." he said referencing Tamaki. Tamaki got even more depressed.
"I will be sure to do that Ranka-san." Kyoya replied then Ranka left. Haruhi then came in and gave everyone a cup of tea. There was then a knock at the door and Haruhi went and answered it. After the door shut, Haruhi came back with the sushi and set it on the table. After lunch they had some of Hunny's cake then the host club left, much to the relief of Haruhi. She cleaned up after the lunch then went and grabbed the two books she had started. She sat in the living area and began reading again. The next day she cleaned her apartment, did her laundry, and finished her homework. After finishing everything else she then finished the two books. She was ready for training the next day.
