Chapter Four: Meeting The Host Club
The Host Club were waiting in the living room of the second Suoh mansion when Tamaki came in.
"WE'RE HERE!" Tamaki shouted dramatically as he burst through the door to his own house. He didn't notice he was still holding Misami.
Chikako and Kyoya came in but unlike Tamaki, the Host Club noticed, Kyoya wasn't carrying Chikako. She was about to complain about having to meet a bunch of idiots when she noticed something.
"Tamaki..." She hissed dangerously. Tamaki gulped as he looked over his shoulder at Chikako. 'W-what d-did I d-do t-this t-time...?' Tamaki thought nervously. "Do you mind putting Misami down now." It wasn't a question, it was an order. Tamaki looked down at Misami in shock.
"I-I forgot s-she was t-there..." Tamaki stuttered.
"Thanks Tamaki. I feel much better now." Misami's usually kind voice was dripping with sarcasm. She sounded more like Chikako. "Am I really that invisible?" Misami exclaimed as Tamaki set her back on her feet, Chikako glaring at the back of his head the entire time.
Unfortunately -because she hadn't needed to walk for a while before, and being naturally clumsy- Misami stumbled. The Host Club and Chikako could do nothing but watch as Misami feel face first. She closed her eyes as if to block out the image of the floor coming closer and closer, when suddenly-
Someone caught her.
Misami felt arms wrap around her waist, suspending her slightly above the floor. Misami couldn't move her head too much, but she saw someone kneeling next to her, probably the one holding her up. There was a sigh of relief from the person that caught her.
"Good, I caught you just in time." The speaker was male, but that had been obvious before Misami had even heard him talk, everyone in the room (except for Chikako and one boy that look suspiciously like a girl...) was male.
Suddenly, Misami realized that he was still holding her, and she blushed scarlet.
"U-um... Y-you can p-put m-me down n-now..." She said with a stutter. The boy that had caught her laughed and Misami wondered if he could see her blush.
"Shouldn't you be thanking your savoir?" The boy stood up and jerked her upright with him, then turned her around so she was facing him, but didn't remove his arms from around her waist. Misami blushed harder when she saw his face, but tried to hide it in order not to embarrass herself. He was gorgeous. He had red/orange spiky hair that was parted to the left and topaz eyes. He was wearing a pale green sleeveless hoodie, with a black sleeveless shirt underneath, and tan pants. Although he was rather pale, he looked kind of... nice.
Before Misami should answer, Chikako stepped in. "Shouldn't you be letting her go now?" She cracked her knuckles.
Karou laughed pointedly. "I'm not afraid of..." Karou didn't finish. He noticed that Tamaki had paled, but that wasn't what made him stop. Kyoya had also paled. Not only that, but he had taken a step away from Chikako. Karou gulped and released Misami, who stumbled backwards into Chikako who stood her upright once again.
"I-I-I..." Karou stumbled backwards as well, trying to get away from Chikako.
Chikako glared at him. "You what?" She snapped.
"I-I-I..." Karou couldn't think of anything intelligent to say.
Chikako rolled her eyes. "Forget that, and let's just get this meeting over with."
"I agree." Kyoya said, pushing his glasses up higher on the bridge of his nose with his index and middle finger. 'I don't know why I thought this was a good idea.' He thought. 'Every second I'm near her, brings me closer to my death. Or paranoia. Whichever one comes first.'
"Why did you need us Tama-chan?" Hunny asked innocently. Chikako and Misami looked over at him, noticing him for the first time.
"AWWW!" They chorused. "HE'S SO CUTE!" They ran over to Hunny, and Misami picked him up and hugged him. Hunny giggled making the girls 'aw' more.
"What's a cutie like you doing in a place full of dummies?" Chikako asked, ruffling Hunny's blonde hair.
"Dummies?" Hunny asked innocently, turning on the charm. "I don't think they're dumb... I think they're my friends!" He giggled once again.
"AWWW." Chikako and Misami's heart's melted at his innocence. "YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!" Mori looked uncomfortable, but Hunny wasn't screaming so he let them be.
"My name's Mitsukuni Haninozuka! But you can call me Hunny!" Hunny told the two girls with a big smile.
"Hi Hunny!" Misami said. "I'm Misami!"
"And I'm Chikako!" Chikako ruffled Hunny's hair again.
"Hi Misa-chan! Hi Chika-chan!" Hunny waved and the girls waved back. "Oh! Misa-chan, Chika-chan, meet Takashi! You guys can call him Mori! Everyone else does! And he's also my cousin!" Misami and Chikako waved again, to Mori this time though.
Mori just nodded back politely.
"Yes! So now that you've met Hunny, Mori, Kyoya and I, there's only three people left to be introduced to!" Tamaki barged into the conversation just like he barged into the mansion. "Misami, Chikako, meet the Hitachiin twins, Hikaru and Karou." Tamaki said pointing to Karou as he said Hikaru's name and Hikaru as he said Karou's name. The twins sighed.
"You got it wrong boss." They said in perfect unison.
"I'm Karou," Karou started.
"And I'm Hikaru," Hikaru said.
"Not the other way around!" They finished together.
"Right! I knew that!" Tamaki said while everyone rolled their eyes (except for Hunny and Mori of course). "Anyways, there's only one person left to meet! Misami, Chikako, meet Haruhi, our newest host!"
Chikako and Misami stared at Haruhi.
"Uh... hi?" Haruhi said, fidgeting under the two girls' gazes.
But they just continued staring.
The hosts started to get worried, even Kyoya (just a little bit). 'What's wrong with them?' They all wondered. Hunny bounded over to Misami and Chikako.
"Misa-chan... Chika-chan...?" Hunny said, worry written all over his face. The girl didn't move. They kept staring at Haruhi.
Not even Hunny's cuteness could snap them out of their trance.
...
Finally, when the hosts were starting to think the girls would never move again, they did. Misami and Chikako turned to look at each other, then back at Haruhi, then at the other hosts.
Misami and Chikako blinked then said:
"But this is a girl."
