A Rose Hidden by Shadows
Chapter Four~ Curious Misunderstandings
I woke up to the annoying ringing of my alarm clock, muttering about getting a different clock. I sighed slightly as I turned it off and sat up. I stretched before throwing the covers off of me and getting out of bed. The first thing I did when I got out of bed was stub my toe on my night stand. "Today isn't going to be a good day." I whined slightly as I walked to the bathroom to get ready for the day, not really knowing how right I was.
~At School~
I walked towards my classroom, thinking about a song that I couldn't remember the name of. I walked into the room and took my seat, still trying to remember the name of the song. I sighed slightly before saying," I wish I remembered that name. I guess I'll just search the lyrics when I get home." I looked in my messenger bag for my math book, that being the first class I had for the day, and couldn't find it. I shook my head before looking again, still to no avail. I took off my glasses and rubbed my eyes in frustration. "How could I forget my math book?" I said before walking up to the teacher. I told him that I had left my book at home and asked if he had another I could borrow.
"Sorry Chouko but I don't have any extras. Kyouya?" He called Kyouya up.
"Yes, sir?" Kyouya asked, glancing slightly at Chouko.
"Would you share your text book with Chouko? It seems she has forgotten hers at her house." the teacher asked.
"Yes sir, it wouldn't be a problem." Kyouya said. The teacher gave a nod and Kyouya turned to walk back to his desk.
I followed him, unsure, before asking," Should I grab my chair?" Kyouya simply nodded before taking his seat. I walked over to my desk and grabbed my pens, pencil, and notebook before placing them in my chair and taking it over to Kyouya's desk. "Uh, thank you for sharing your book with me, Ootori-san." I said after taking my seat, noticing many girls giving me glares. 'Today is going to be a long day, I just know it." I thought to myself before looking at Kyouya's open math book.
"You're welcome Makoto-san." Kyouya said before the teacher started the lecture.
~Host Club~
I walked into the host club and saw Hunny, Mori, Hikaru, and Kaoru already getting dressed in the cosplay. "Chouko!" Hikaru and Kaoru called before walking over to me.
"Huh?" I asked looking between the two, noticing that they were wearing matching kimonos.
"Our mom designed the kimonos for everyone. Yours is already in the dressing room." The two said in perfect unison. I nodded before heading to the dressing rooms. I walked into it and saw a dark violet kimono with a dark blue design and a lighter blue obi. I smiled at the design before putting it on and getting dressed in it.
Afterwards I walked out of the dressing rooms and noticed that everyone had arrived and were in the process of getting ready. I waled over to the piano and started to do warm-ups, preparing for when the club opened to the public. I knew what song I was going to do, it was similar to the one I had done previously and another one that I liked. Once everyone had gotten settled with their guests I started to play.
Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine
And get out of here fast
I hate to break it to you babe, but I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost with no direction
But you'll never see
You're so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening
And who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
All my life I've tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
Let me hold your crown, babe. (If these lyrics are incorrect forgive me, I got them from elyrics)
I sang along with the piano, thinking about the meaning behind them. I was happy with this, doing something I enjoyed with people who seemed to accept me. As I finished the song I smiled slightly. Then as the last key rang I turned on the bench to look at the other members. I noticed a girl standing by the entrance of the club, seeming to hide. I watched from my seat as the twin talked to her before Tamaki started.
I watched as he went to cradle her chin before she roughly shoved him away shouting, "No! Don't touch me! You're phoney!" I quickly stood up and went to stand next to Haruhi as the newcomer continued to insult Tamaki. I watched as he seemed to fall in slow motion, wondering how that was even possible. Then once Kyouya started to ask if she was who he thought she was the newcomer ran up to him, saying she wanted to meet him.
~Later~
I stood next to Haruhi as Hikaru asked why he was still moping.
"It's because Mommy was keeping a secret from Daddy" Kaoru said.
I looked at him oddly before Kyouya said," Why does everyone insist on refering to us as husband and wife?"
Then Renge, whose name we learned not long ago not to mention that she was apparently Kyouya's fiance, started to go on about something being love at first sight. I wasn't really paying attention, I was too busy trying to figure out why the thought bothered me. It wasn't supposed to, I mean it's not like it's an uncommon thing for there to be arranged marriages. Then I heard Tamaki say something about an otaku.
~Time Skip~Next Day~
Everybody in the host club sat around, talking about Renge being the female manager, as she proclaimed the other day. The twins just asked about why Tamaki thought it wouldn't be a bad idea.
"Well it's fairly obvious, isn't it? Renge just transferred into the same class as Haruhi. So if Haruhi has a girlfriend around then maybe it could bring out the female within her. Rege's girlish air of tenderness might be able to stimulate Haruhi's own since of femininity. Now is our chance to help Haruhi get in touch with her feminine side." Tamaki said.
"Hey, do I not count or something?" I asked, a little angry that they had overlooked my already exsisting friendship with the person in question.
"But you're more of a tom-boy. You don't act too feminine." Kaoru stated.
"Yeah well that's the way we are. I can be girly, I just choose not to because it gets annoying after a while." I said with a slight shrug. "Besides, you can do more things when dressed as a guy that you can't do in a dress or skirt." I said with a slight laugh.
"What kind of things?" The twins asked curiously.
"Well climbing trees. I don't do that but yeah. Play basketball, and such." I said, thinking about it.
Overall, it was an interesting couple of days. At least for me.
A/N
Well, this one was more with the plot of the episode. Probably doesn't help that I was listening to the episode as I wrote this to get certain parts of the dialogue right. The song I used was King of Anything by Sara Barellies, again. Also I would like to share a video I found on youtube using that song and Ouran actually. http : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = A6nBf7ZpnIo Just take out the spaces cause I'm really not sure how fanfiction feels about links. Also want to thank EmeraldGreen4Life for reviewing last chapter. Thank you so much, reviews make me really happy and want to write more for the reader.
