Holding Out For A Hero
Chapter 4: I Gotta Feeling
It had been one week since Kazumi Aritama arrived in Japan, attended Ouran Academy, and met the infamous Host Club, as well as befriending them. She got along well with Hikaru and Kaoru, shocking Tamaki immensely. ('Kyouya! Your cousin is associating herself with the demons! They're corrupting her!' 'That's not a nice thing to say Tamaki.' 'S-Sorry Kazumi-senpai.' '...But you are right!' 'Kazumi-senpai!') Tamaki, though annoying at times, highly amused Kazumi so she got along with him just fine. Her sibling-like relationship with Kyouya has grown even stronger and apparently everyone around them could tell as well. ('This is helping the profits a lot isn't it Kyo?' '...Possibly.' '...Glad to be of service to you then cousin dearest.')
She, however, grew the closest to her classmates, Honey and Mori. She learned a lot about them and in turn, they learned a lot about her. Everything from her likes and dislikes to places she's been to, which surprised them when she listed quite a few around the world. Well...she told them almost everything about herself and they seemed to sense it, but never pressed her for more for which she was grateful. All in all, she was glad she met them.
...Did she mention that she was part of the Host Club now?
::::::::
"Kazumi-senpai," Tamaki said, gaining her attention from gazing out the window. The Host Club was currently sitting around, waiting for the time to come around so they could open.
"Yes?"
"That was a wonderful act the other day!" he exclaimed. "What do you say to working here at the Host Club with us?"
Kazumi blinked. "Why do you ask?"
"Didn't you notice how all the customers were acting Kazu-chan?" questioned Honey.
"Well yes, but I ignore that kinda thing."
"Don't like the attention Kazumi-senpai?" asked the twins in a teasing manner.
She rubbed the back of her neck. "It's not that. It's just that...um..."
"Kazumi has been around that sort of attention for most of her life," Kyouya interrrupted.
I love you so much right now Kyo, Kazumi thought. "Very much. It tends to get annoying at first, but I've learned to just ignore it and move on. I'd rather not tell them that they're being annoying and hurt their feelings." She smiled, gaining the Tamaki death hug.
"So kind!"
"Thank you. But Tamaki? Would you mind letting go? Please?" She was released. "Thanks...again."
"So Kazumi-senpai..." Hikaru.
"Are you..." Kaoru.
"...going to join?" they asked.
"Please Kazu-chan? I want you to! Takashi too!"
"Ah."
Kazumi's gaze went to her cousin, who seemed to know what she was thinking. "I see no problems with it. Besides, we have some customers asking if they could request you after the incident yesterday."
"What do you say to being our Hostess?" asked Tamaki using that Prince charm of his.
She thought for a moment, deciding if she really wanted to do this everyday. She had just met them, but felt as if she could trust them and they seemed to already consider her a friend. Not to mention the small growing attraction she had towards the Wild Type. What do I really have left to lose? At least I won't be at home alone for so long anymore... She noticed the anxious looks on their faces, even on Mori and Kyouya's neutral expressions. "Alright."
"YAY!" exclaimed Honey, Tamaki, and the twins as they had Kazumi in a group hug, Mori with a small smile on his face and Kyouya with a smirk.
::::::::
Kazumi shook her head at the memory as she walked towards the Third Music Room to get ready for the day. Classes had just ended so there were some students walking around to their destinations, a few saying hello to her, greeting in return. Kazumi was suddenly stopped as one of the male students stood in front of her with shaggy dark brown hair and green eyes.
"May I help you?" she asked kindly. Let me guess what he's going to ask...
The student grinned smugly. "You can by going on a date with me."
...I knew it. "I'm sorry, but I can't," she began lightly. "I don't even know you."
"Toro Miguni. Class 1-C."
Little smug for a first year. Sorry to disappoint you. "It's nice to meet you Miguni-kun, but I really have to go. It's best if I'm not late. Kyo will be mad at me."
He frowned. "Wha-" The boy was cut off as a rather large shadow fell over them, making him freeze in fright as Kazumi looked up at the intimidating figure behind her.
"I-I ha-have to g-go." With that, the first year ran off.
"Thanks," she smiled.
"Ah."
"We found you Kazu-chan!" exclaimed a small senior as he tackled Kazumi around the waist, who spun around in order to keep them from falling to the ground.
"I guess you did Honey," she giggled. "..Did Kyo send you to get me?"
"Nuh-uh. We just happened to be walking towards the club and saw you," Honey said as pink flowers popped around his face in an adorable fashion. Mori nodded.
That's bullshit and you both know it because I stayed behind to finish some work. "If you say so," she shrugged before Honey let go of her waist and grabbed her hand, dragging her to the music room with Mori at their heels.
As soon as they walked into the music room, Kazumi flocked her way over to Kyouya and leaned against his back as she draped her arms over his shoulders. "Hi Kyo Kyo! How was class?" she asked as the others stared in wonder. What she really meant was Sorry I'm late. I got held up again as you probably knew. A first year this time.
"Quite fine Kazumi. And you?" he asked writing in his notebook. Of course. First years now?
"Same," she smiled. "Whatcha writing?" Kazumi peeked at the pages and noticed names, numbers and lots of information. Specifically a certain male student who just asked her out. Of course. Hey, that's the guy!
"Things." I see.
"What kinda things?" What do you mean I see? You aren't going to purposely keep him away from me are you?
"Important things." I have no idea what you're saying.
"Like what?" Really now? Because I wouldn't mind. Too smug.
Kyouya held back a sigh. As you wish.
Ah...cyrpticness seems to run in the family.
The Hosts and Hostess stood in position at the doors as it was time to open. Tamaki was sitting in a chair with his right leg crossed over his left as the others stood around him. Kazumi stood behind him with Hikaru next to her, then Kaoru, followed by Kyouya and Honey. Mori stood back to back with Kyouya, his head turned towards the entrance.
"Welcome!" they said together as the door opened and in came a boy? He wore a large brown sweatshirt pulled over a long sleeve shirt, black pants and shoes, and had messy brown hair and glasses.
"T-This is a Host Club?" he asked in shock. Kazumi noticed a red arrow pointing to a vase. Okay...that's weird.
"Oh wow! It's a boy," stated the twins as everyone else stared. Ah...the new student... Kazumi thought.
"Hikaru, Kaoru. I believe this young man is in the same class as you isn't he?" Kyouya asked.
"Yeah but he's shy. He doesn't act very socially so we don't know much about him." They shrugged in unison.
Kyouya just closed his eyes and smirked.
In a dark room, one of seven lightbulbs lit up.
"Well, that wasn't very polite. Welcome to the Ouran Host Club, Mr. Honor Student."
Kazumi stared at him. Hmm...Kyo knows something. Then again, what doesn't he know?
"What? You must be Haruhi Fujioka!" said Tamaki as Haruhi struggled with the door handle. "You're the exceptional honor student we heard about."
That caught Fujioka's attention. "How did you know my name?"
Kyouya answered. "Why, you're infamous. It's not everyday that a commoner gains entrance into our Academy. You must have an audacious nerve to work hard enough to fight your way into this school as an honor student Mr. Fujioka."
"Well ah...thank you I guess."
"You're welcome!" Tamaki wrapped an arm around Haruhi's shoulder. "You're a hero to other poor people Fujioka. You've shown the world that even a poor person can excel at an elite private academy!"
"Here we go," Kazumi muttered as Fujioka stepped away from Tamaki, who promptly followed with a rant about the poor. Fujioka apparently had enough.
"I'm out of here." Well he would of if Honey didn't grab his arm.
"Hey~! Come back here Haru-chan! You must be like a superhero or something! That's so cool!" he said excitedly.
I don't think that's the case Honey. Kazumi giggled.
"I'm not a hero. I'm an honor student. AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING HARU-CHAN?" he yelled causing Honey to let go in fright and ran towards Mori who held Honey's pink rabbit Usa-chan. Kazumi walked over and patted him on the head. "It's okay Honey," she said.
"Openly what?" Kazumi heard Haruhi ask.
"So tell me what kind of guys you're into," Tamaki stated. "Do you like the Strong, Silent Type?"
Mori held his neutral expression and was surrounded with a blue background and blue roses. Kazumi slightly blushed but no one noticed.
"The Boy Lolita?" Honey held his rabbit in one arm and wiped away his tears as a pink hearts background and pink roses appeared.
Hikaru and Kaoru stood back to back with an orange and blue background and roses. "How about the Mischevious Type?"
"Or the Cool Type?" Kyouya was surrounded with a purple background and roses.
"Or would you prefer our Hostess? The Big Sister Type?" A white background with yellow stars and yellow roses surrounded Kazumi. She gave a small smile.
Fujioka stuttered and started to back up, not noticing that the vase stood behind him. "I uh...i-it's not li-like that! I was just looking for a quiet place to study!"
Tamaki placed his hand under Fujioka's chin, making Kazumi sweatdrop. Well, people are going to start wondering about you Tamaki...
"Or maybe...you're into a guy like me?" A white background and white roses appeared around the two. "What do you say?" Fujioka backed up in fright.
Next thing everyone knew, Fujioka gasped and tried to grab the falling vase and failed. The vase layed broken into many pieces upon the floor.
"Oh boy," mumbled Kazumi as Honey and Mori nodded in agreement.
"Aww~" groaned the Hitachiin twins.
"We were going to feature that Renaissance vase into an upcoming school auction," said Hikaru.
"Oh now you've done it commoner," continued Kaoru. "The bidding on that vase was to start at 8 million yen!"
Least to say Fujioka was very surprised as he started counting on his fingers and was mumbling. "Uh...I'm going to have to pay you back..."
"With what money?" asked the twins in a rude manner. "You can't even afford the school uniform."
"What's with that crummy outfit you've got on anyway?" asked Hikaru, before he was hit in the head along with Kaoru. He turned around and saw that the culprit was Kazumi.
"Kazumi-senpai~" they whined.
"Be nice you two. No need to be so rude," she replied with a stern look upon her face as her cousin walked over to the many shards of glass and picked one up.
"Well, what do you think we should do Tamaki?" he asked.
That was the magical question that turned the new student Haruhi Fujioka into the Host Club's dog in order to pay off his debt. He turned white as a ghost at the statement, causing everyone to surround him.
"Is he alright?" Kazumi asked as Honey poked him twice, where Fujioka promptly fell to the ground. "Nevermind."
Kazumi hummed to herself as both she and Honey waited for Mori to finish his meeting with the school's Kendo Club. The two seniors were sitting outside in the warm sun with their backs against the building, the place very quiet minus the humming from Kazumi.
"That's sounds pretty Kazu-chan," said Honey who held Usa-chan in his arms.
She stopped. "Well, it's just humming Honey," she replied a bit embarrassed.
"Even so Kazu-chan. It's sounds really good!"
"Thank you then," she smiled before they both fell into a comfortable silence. It was broken by a yawn escaping Honey's mouth and a sudden weight on Kazumi's shoulder. She blinked, turning her attention to Honey who's head was the weight she felt. "Sleepy?"
Honey rubbed his eyes. "Just a bit," he mumbled causing Kazumi to let out a soft smile.
"If that's the case," she began pulling her small friend into her lap, his head resting on her shoulder. "Then take a nap."
"You sure Kazu-chan?" he mumbled though she noticed that he was losing the fight to stay awake as his eyes kept slipping closed before he opened them again.
"Of course. It'll be awhile before Mori gets out anyway." She started to massage his scalp causing Honey to finally close his eyes.
"...Kay," he mumbled before slipping into Dreamland, Usa-chan held in his small grasp. Kazumi smiled before leaning her head against the wall and closing her eyes, humming once again, minutes passing by quickly.
At least there's no one around right now cooing and awwing at this sight. Only because I worry for them waking him up because of Honey being an AB blood type. She giggled slightly at the thought before she almost jumped in surprise.
"Kazumi," spoke a low and deep baritone voice. Who's the guy with that rather sexy voice? She opened her eyes, brown clashing with grey, and bright red dashed across her face. Before her stood the one both Honey and herself had been waiting for, Mori. His gaze dropped down to his cousin who was soundly asleep in her lap, Kazumi seeing his expression soften. Aww~ Kazumi cooed in thought.
"Ah, hello Mori," she said quietly gaining his attention again, red slightly painted across her face. "As you can see, Honey got a bit sleepy. Though I don't blame him. It is rather nice today for a nap," she mused. "Anyway, we can go to the Host Club now. But first..." her gaze switched to the small senior that occupied her lap.
Mori seemed to know what she was going to ask and picked up his cousin who unconsciously climbed onto his back, dropping the pink rabbit in the process.
"Thanks," Kazumi smiled, grabbing Usa-chan before standing up, to which she grabbed her tall friend's arm in order from falling back down to the ground. She grinned, embarrassed. "Hehe. Sorry. Legs seem to have fallen asleep."
"Ah."
After taking a few minutes to stretch her legs (which Mori looked on with amusement in his eyes), Kazumi let go of his arm and looked up at Mori with a smile. "All good. Now back to Host Club. Who knows what the others are doing to Haruhi?"
With that said and Usa-chan in her grip, Kazumi began the trek to the Third Music Room, Mori following with a sleeping Honey on his back.
The trio walked down the halls (well Kazumi and Mori were, while Honey was slowly waking up on his back) in a comfortable silence. That was until Kazumi broke it,
"Now that I think about," she mused. "You guys are the only real friends I've had in a very long time, despite the fact that we've only known each other for a week."
"Really?" asked a still sleepy Honey.
She nodded as they reached the doors. "Really really." Kazumi pushed open the doors.
Honey yawned and rubbed his eye tiredly as Mori and Kazumi walked in. "Sorry we're running late," he said.
One of the customers greeted them. "Hello Honey! Hey Mori! Hello Kazumi!"
"Hello," replied Kazumi with a smile.
"We've been waiting here for you guys," said another.
Mori put Honey down as he apologized. "I'm sorry. Kazu-chan and I were waiting for Takashi to finish his Kendo meeting and I fell asleep. And I'm still not completely awake." Little pink flowers spun around his head cutely as he rubbed the sleep away from his eyes, causing the three girls to squeal.
"SO CUTE!"
Kazumi smirked and shook her head before handing Usa-chan to Honey. "Here you go Honey. You dropped him earlier when you fell asleep."
He took it and gave her a smile. "Thank you Kazu-chan!" More flowers appeared around his head causing the girls to squeal again. She just patted his head affectionately.
"You're welcome," she smiled as stars appeared around her. Ookkaayy...didn't see that coming...
"You're so kind Kazumi!"
"Yes! Very much!"
She blushed and smiled. "You're just saying that."
Meanwhile...
Haruhi stared at the three seniors. "Is that boy really a third year student?"
Kyouya stepped up beside Haruhi, his black notebook in hand. "Honey-senpai may seem young and childish, but he's a prodigy. And then Mori-senpai's allure is his strong and silent disposition."
"And her?"
"Kazumi? Well, though she acts childish at times, she cares for everyone around her, much like a sister. Her kindness to everyone is an added bonus. As well as her sisterly act with each member here."
"How sweet of you to say Kyo," Kazumi said spooking Haruhi, before she went and stood next to Kyouya. "Hehe. Sorry."
"Um..." Haruhi just stared at them before being spun around by none other than Honey.
"Haru-chan!" He smiled, pink flowers around his face, as the two just stared at the scene. "Hey Haru-chan, do you wanna go have some cake with me?"
"Thanks but I don't really like cake," Haruhi replied dizzily.
Honey looked up at him cutely with Usa-chan behind his back. "Then how would you like to hold my bunny Usa-chan?"
"I'm...not into bunnies..."
Honey frowned and held up his rabbit. "Are you saying you don't like Usa-chan?"
Haruhi just stared at the rabbit and could have sworn it blushed. "Well, I guess he is kinda cute huh?"
Honey's eyes widened.
In a dark room, a second light bulb lit up.
"Take good care of him okay!" Honey said before he ran back to his customers.
"You'll notice the our club utilizes each member's unique characteristics to cater to the desires of our guests. Just so you know, Tamaki is number one around here."
"He's the king," Kazumi interrupted. "His request rate is 70%."
"What's this world coming too?" Haruhi mumbled.
"And in order for you to pay off your 8 million yen debt with us, you will act as the Host Club's dog until you graduate." Kyouya then smiled at Haruhi. "I'm sorry. I meant our errand boy. You can try to run away if you want to Haruhi, but just so you know my family employs a private police force of 100 officers." Haruhi stared in fright as Kyouya pushed up his glasses. "By the way, do you have a passport?"
Meaning, 'you won't be able to stay in Japan.'
"Now now Kyo. Don't be so mean," Kazumi said to her cousin before turning her attention to Haruhi. "But he does have a point. Sorry Haruhi," she shrugged.
Tamaki appeared behind Haruhi. "You're going to have to work pretty hard to pay off that debt, my little nerd." Tamaki blew in the back of Haruhi's ear, freaking him out.
"Please don't do that again."
Tamaki then went on ranting about how Haruhi should change his clothes, otherwise girls wouldn't look at him. Haruhi responded by saying how he didn't care about appearances and labels, to which Tamaki went into one of his rants about how beautiful he is.
"I have the feeling something entertaining is about to happen," mused Kazumi which the twins happened to hear as they were passing by.
"Really?" they asked as all three stared at Haruhi and Tamaki who was basically moving around like an idiot.
"Mmhmm..."
"Ha! I got it! Obnoxious!" said Haruhi as Tamaki went suddenly white.
Kazumi held back a laugh as Tamaki went to his corner, as the twins huddled around Haruhi laughing.
"You're a hero alright," said Hikaru.
Haruhi apologized, making Kazumi sigh. Oh boy.
Tamaki stated that he would teach Haruhi more lessons to being a gentlemen, which the twins decided he couldn't because of his outfit. Hikaru took off his glasses and paused, as did Kaoru. Curious, Kazumi stood between them as her eyes widened in surprise much like the twins. Wait a minute...is he...?
In a dark room, a third lightbulb switched on.
I knew there was something different about Haruhi. Kazumi thought before she and the twins were shoved out of the way by Tamaki, who took their place as his eyes widened as well.
Kazumi would have fallen if it weren't for the pair of arms that wrapped around her waist. Looking up, she noticed that said arms belonged to Mori. She smiled, a slight blush on her face. "Thanks."
"Ah," he nodded letting go. Kazumi didn't notice that Kyouya had started writing notes after the incident.
Everyone's attention was captured as Tamaki snapped his fingers, Haruhi still rambling on about his contacts going missing.
Next thing Kazumi knew was that Hikaru and Kaoru had taken Haruhi into the back where the changing room was located, Kyouya was calling Tamaki's hair stylist, Mori ran to the eye doctor for some contacts, and Honey sat in a corner with Usa-chan looking dejected as cake sat in front of him. She just blinked.
"Umm...senpai?" Haruhi questioned from behind the curtain as everyone was standing around in the changing room.
"Aren't you done changing yet?" Tamaki asked before the curtain slid open.
"Are you sure it's really okay for me to keep this uniform?" he asked as sparkles appeared around him.
"You're cute! You're as pretty as a girl! Adorable!" he said cooing over him.
Kazumi rolled her eyes. Of course he looks like a girl dummy because he is in fact a she. Her gaze settled upon the twins who held small grins on their faces. Seems demons 1 and 2 have figured it out as well...
"Haru-chan you look so cute!" Honey.
"If we had known that's how you'd really look," Hikaru.
"We would've helped you out sooner!" Karou.
"Very nice." Kazumi.
"Who knows? Maybe he'll draw in some customers." Kyouya.
"You know? That's what I was just thinking," Tamaki said.
Bullcrap...
"Our errand boy is moving up the ranks! Starting today, you are an official member of the Host Club! I will personally train you to be a first rate host. If you can get 100 customers to request your service, we will completely forget about your 8 million yen debt," Tamaki smiled.
"A host?" Haruhi asked surprised.
"This is going to be interesting," Kazumi mumbled gaining a nod from her cousin.
"Why is he so popular?" Tamaki asked as he, the twins, Kyouya, and Kazumi watched Haruhi a few feet away.
"He's a natural," Kyouya and Kazumi said gaining slightly terrified looks from the other three.
"No training needed," commented Hikaru and Kaoru.
A red haired, purple eyed girl, one of Tamaki's customers, spoke up. "Have you forgotten about me?"
"Kazumi, you have some customers."
"Thanks Kyo," she replied before walking over to a table where three girls sat. One had long brown hair and green eyes and another girl had short dark brown hair and brown eyes. The last customer Kazumi knew well.
"Yuka-chan!" she greeted with a smile causing said girl to blush.
"H-Hello Kazumi-senpai."
Kazumi turned her gaze to the other two girls. "Hello there girls. May I ask for your names?"
"Hello Kazumi-senpai," began the girl with green eyes with a smile. "My name is Nita Shimata. Class 2-D." Nice girl.
"Ayane Hitaro. Class 1-D," said the girl with brown eyes with a small smile.
Kazumi smiled at them both. "It's a pleasure to meet you Nita-chan. Ayane-chan. So how are you three today?"
"Fine," they replied.
"Kazumi-senpai, how did you become a Hostess when this is a Host Club?" Ayane asked curiously.
She laughed lightly. "That's a very good question Ayane-chan. Kyo said that I had customers even though I wasn't part of the club and Tamaki thought I did a wonderful 'performance' the first day I was here. So here I am."
"Kyo?" Nita tilted her head, confused.
"S-she means Ootori-senpai," Yuka replied quietly. "They're cousins."
"Mmhmm," Kazumi nodded. "I've always called him that since we were kids. Or Kyo-Kyo, but shh! Don't tell him I told you." Kazumi winked at them, causing all three girls to blush with Ayane and Nita squealing.
Kazumi overheard Tamaki ranting about how Haruhi was cute and looked over, seeing him spin Haruhi around. Poor girl...
"Mori-senpai!" Haruhi exclaimed. "Help me!"
Next thing everyone knew, Haruhi was swiped out of Tamaki's arms and held up in the air. Kazumi could see his slightly surprised expression and a hint of red on his cheeks.
In a dark room, a sixth light bulb buzzes to life...
Haruhi had a surprised expression on his face as he was still held in the air as Tamaki stood with a stunned and shocked expression. "M-Mori-senpai...Y-You really didn't have to go that far. Come on little one, let daddy give you a big hug!"
"I already got a dad and I don't need another one."
She laughed to herself quietly before noticing the expression on Ayanokoji's face. Hmm...she's plotting something...
Kazumi turned her attention back to her customers, keeping the thought in the back of her mind for later use.
"I don't like her," Kazumi stated to Kyouya as she watched Haruhi and Ayanokoji, who surprisingly requested Haruhi for the day.
"That's not a nice thing to say."
"Even so Kyouya," Kazumi said as her brown eyes turned dark. "She's the kind of girl I despise and makes the rest of us look bad." It was quiet for a moment. "You do know that she was the one who-"
"Yes, but there is no valid proof."
"Who said there's no proof?" she grinned. "Besides, I know she's plotting something right now."
"How can you tell?"
"Woman's intuition."
The room went completely quite as crashing was heard, the table tipped over, and Ayanokoji screamed as Haruhi had fallen on top of her. "No Haruhi! Leave me alone! Somebody help me! He just attacked me! Someone do something! Teach this commoner a lesson!"
Kazumi stood up angrily though she caught the warning glance from Kyouya making her frown. Her gaze went back to the scene where Hikaru and Kaoru, who were holding cups upside down, stood over the two who were lying on the floor soaked with water.
Haruhi looked up as Ayanokoji looked at them in anger. "Why did you do that?" She was helped up by Tamaki who brushed away some of her hair from her eyes.
"Do something Tamaki. Haruhi just assaulted me."
"I'm disappointed in you," Tamaki stated gaining a smirk from Kazumi. "You threw his bag into the pond didn't you?" Haruhi looked surprised.
"You don't know that! Do you have any proof that I did it?" Ayanokoji exclaimed.
"Of course!" Kazumi grinned as she held up a video camera gaining a glare from the girl.
"You know, you're a beautiful girl but you're not classy enough to be our guest dear. If there is one thing I know, Haruhi is not that kind of a man."
That's because he isn't a man at all...
"Why Tamaki?" she cried. "You idiot!" she exclaimed before running out of the club crying.
"She got one thing right," Kazumi said gaining an elbow into her ribs from Kyouya. "Ouch. You know it's true."
"Just go get the spare uniform."
"Okay."
"Hmm..." Tamaki thought. "Now how am I going to punish you because it is your fault after all. You quota is now 1000!"
"Gah! One...thousand?" Haruhi asked shocked before being helped up by Tamaki.
"I got high expectations for you my little rookie." He winked getting a confused stare.
"Tada!" Kazumi said as she held up a bag. "Hey Haruhi..."
"This is the only spare uniform we have," Kyouya stated. "Sorry, but it's better than a wet one right?"
Kyouya and Kazumi wore a matching smirk as Haruhi took the bag.
"Thanks a lot you guys. I'm going to go change."
The Hosts (and Hostess) were waiting outside of the curtain once again for Haruhi.
"Neh, Tamaki?" Kazumi asked holding a towel. "Can you give this to Haruhi?"
"Why me?" he asked.
"Well, I guess I'll walk in on him as he's changing then," she sung before the towel was taken from her grasp.
"NO NO! I will not let you be traumatized by such a sight!" Tamaki then began his trek over to the curtain, missing the sly grin on her face.
"That was evil," Hikaru and Kaoru said with the same grin as hers.
"Why'd you do that Kazu-chan?" Honey asked.
"Tamaki has to find out sooner or later right? Why not now?" She grinned as they watched Tamaki close the curtain after just opening it.
"So...Haruhi. You're a...girl?"
"Biologically speaking, yeah," she replied open the curtain minutes later wearing the girl's uniform causing Tamaki to freak out.
"Listen senpai. I don't really care whether you guys recognize me as a boy or a girl. In my opinion, it's more important for a person to be recognized for who they are rather than what sex they are."
"Well, isn't this an interesting development," Kyouya said.
Knew it from the start
"Told ya it would be Kyo," Kazumi smiled.
"Oh yeah!" said the twins as Tamaki was still freaking out.
Figured it out along the way
"You know I have to say senpai, I thought you pretty cool earlier." Tamaki blushed bright red at Haruhi's statement.
"Ooo~ He's turning red like Yuka-chan does!" Kazumi stated gaining nods from her classmates.
"Being a host and getting fussed over by a bunch of girls might not be that bad." Tamaki went blue in the face. "I wonder how I can pull that off?" Haruhi pondered. "I've got it! I'll just call everyone dude and bro now!" She laughed.
"Don't worry Haruhi," Kazumi said wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "You'll be able to pull it off. Only because a certain blonde President was fooled the whole time," Kazumi looked at Tamaki through the corners of her eyes with a grin on her face.
"You thought she was a boy too!"
"Not really. I had my suspicions from the start. Besides...I didn't have to walk in on her to prove it." Kazumi's grin grew as did Tamaki's blush and anger.
"KAZUMI-SENPAI!"
And there's the fourth chapter. x.x Long. Very long. So, I watched the english dub and used it for help, though I'll more than likely start using the english subbed versions next chapter. :)
Anywho, I hope you giuys like it. If not, oh well. I'll do better next time. x3
Review and I shall give you a Usa-chan plushie. :)
Later!
