Chapter 3
"Hey Boss," the Hitachiin brothers inquired from behind the sofa Tamaki was sitting on.
"Even though we agreed Kaida Yuuki was going to be a customer here, wouldn't it make sense if she was Haruhi's client?" they finished with perfect synchronization and timing, both turning to stare as Yuuki sat, cross legged on another couch with Honey and Mori.
Tamaki followed their gaze for a moment, half suspiciously and half competitively. "How could she go over there if she's my little girls friend?" he mumbled, peeking over the seat. "Daddy needs to approve of his dear daughter's friends…"
The twins were annoyed by this. "That's not the problem here!" Hikaru snapped, pointing dramatically at Yuuki. "It can't be a coincidence that she just so happened to come here if she actually knew Haruhi!"
Kaoru nodded his head, and then pointed just as dramatically to Haruhi, "and she isn't worried one bit! That girl isn't even Haruhi's client! She's Mori and Honey-senpai's!" He pointed accusingly to Yuuki then pointed to Mori and Honey to prove his point.
Honey glanced behind him before patting Yuukis leg. "Don't worry Yuu-chan! We like you! Any friend of Haru-chan is a friend of ours right Takashi?" he smiled cutely, trying to reassure her.
Mori nodded, "Yeah."
Yuuki smiled at Honey, "Thanks senpai, I appreciate you two keeping me company today." As she spoke she picked up her own plate of strawberry cake and was about to eat it until she noticed Honey staring at it longingly.
"Honey-senpai? You have your own cake don't yo-"Honey held up his empty plate, only the crumbs remaining. Mori just looked at Yuuki with a straight face. "He ate it three seconds earlier."
The disbelief was replaced with a smile and a laugh. "Alright alright," she giggled, "Here Honey-senpai, you can have mine."
She placed the plate in front of him, but not before receiving a strange look from both senpais. "What?" she tilted her head to the side.
Honey suddenly busied himself with the cake, popping the strawberry into his mouth with extreme delight. Mori continued to watch her with a straight face. It was difficult to tell what they were thinking.
Tamaki and the twins watched this exchange before looking at each other. "She even has Honey and Mori-senpai fooled! We must figure out her motives!" they all gazed at each other, fiery eyes and determined to win.
"Will you stop making an enemy of Yuuki?" Haruhi snapped as she walked into the room, her notes clutched to her chest. "Yuuki is my friend, I already said that."
Tamaki practically flew over to her. "What do you mean she's your friend? You never told this to daddy!" he spoke frantically.
Haruhi stared at him straight faced, "I didn't tell you because you would have asked a lot of annoying questions. And the fact that I wouldn't have anything to say."
Both twins frowned at this, unpleased by Haruhis lack of cooperation. "What do you mean you wouldn't have anything to say?" Hikaru complained. "If she's your friend you would tons to say wouldn't you?" Kaoru asked.
The short haired girl shook her head, "If you want to know so much about her why don't you just ask her yourself?" there was a testy note in Haruhis voice as she spoke.
"Or," Kyouya opened a slightly thick folder and began looking through it. "We could find out even more through the Otori groups connections.
In a flash, Tamaki and the twins surrounded him. "Well?" Tamaki demanded,
"What did you find?" The twins tried to take a peek at the folder but Kyouya snapped the folder shut before they could make out as much as a word. "Confidential."
Tamaki instantly got close to Kyouya's face. "Hey Kyouya, what do you mean 'confidential'? We're all friends here…"
"That's not the case."
Everyone turned to see Yuuki, standing up and looking towards them coolly, only a small trace of anger could be seen. "My business is my business, and Kyouya-senpai…" Her blue eyes flew directly to Kyouya, who smiled and looked down only to fix the papers in the folder before letting the contents be in plain view again.
"I understand Miss Kaida, not to worry; everything is strictly confidential unless I am notified of any changes." The threat in his words was clear. Yuuki glared at him before glancing over to Honey and Mori, muttering a thank you for the company then disappeared out the door, her long hair whipping out of sight as she left.
Hikaru leaned back against the couch, "I don't see what her problem is."
"Besides the fact you tried to pry into her life while she was in the room?" Haruhi sighed.
The older Hitachiin twin looked up to Haruhi, "She should have known what she was getting into if she enrolled into this school and practically followed you around like some little puppy."
"That's not right Hika-chan." Honey walked over, clutching his stuffed rabbit, Usa-chan. "During lunch today, I saw Yuu-chan sitting by herself by the pond." He looked over to Haruhi, "Haru-chan always eats her lunch in the classroom so she's with you and Kao-chan. Even if Haru-chan is her friend, she doesn't seem to hang around anyone except when she comes here. Right Takashi?"
Mori nodded upon Honey's look for backup.
Hikaru just shrugged his shoulders. "If she really is Haruhi's friend she could just hang around the classroom then, I still say she does follow Haruhi around a lot." Kaoru sighed but nodded in agreement. "Doesn't she follow you home Haruhi?"
Haruhi folded her arms across her chest, "You don't seem to get it. Yuuki lives two blocks away from me, so it's convenient for us to leave at the same time. Also, even if she's my friend, it can be hard to understand what she's thinking. Even when we were little- ah." She immediately stopped talking and looked outside the window.
Hikaru leaned forward on his seat, his interest now captured. "Oi, don't stop when you're about to say something." "Yeah, what we're you gonna say?" Kaoru chimed in. "Hey, Boss, you should say something t-" Both Hitachiin twins looked to their president to see him chuckling. "Um…Boss? Are you okay?" Both twins reached out to him cautiously.
"So we have a shy young maiden coming to us is that it?" Tamaki laughed. "I have a plan." The moment he spoke those words, Kyouya flipped open his phone and began dialing a few numbers.
The twins and Haruhi looked very confused at this sight. "Um…Senpai?" Haruhi asked, slightly worried for Tamaki's mental state.
The blonde second year just kept right on laughing for a moment before pointing to Honey and Mori. "senpais, make sure to bring lots of sweets tomorrow!"
At this, Honey broke into a large grin and saluted to Tamaki. "HAI! We'll bring lots!" he proclaimed happily.
When Tamaki rounded on the twins and Haruhi he spoke grandly, "and you three, bring Kaida Yuuki! Or….just show up." He finished lamely, the last part directed more to the twins than to Haruhi.
The twins looked at Tamaki, annoyed, "Ehh? Show up?" Kaoru and Hikaru were less than pleased. "For what? Hmmm senpai? Why can't we bring her?" Hikaru complained.
"You can't." Haruhi interjected straight faced.
"Why not?" Hikaru snapped, getting more and more irritated by the second.
"Not only you two but Tamaki and Kyouya-senpai too, you made her angry, it wouldn't be the best idea to-"
"I don't see why you're so reluctant to let them take your place Haruhi; just let them go if they insist." Kyouya interrupted, pushing up his glasses and snapping his cell phone shut. "If they fail, they'll not only have you to deal with but me as well." His smile seemed friendly but there was a dark aura about it, causing both twins to shudder, and nod slowly.
"U-understood…" both said nervously. Haruhi could only sigh, "This cannot go well…" she thought.
Please review! (there might be some weird format where the text stops in the middle of a sentence...I dont know why it's doing that yet but I will try to fix that ASAP...)
thank you!
