Chapter 6
Fuyoko's P.O.V
It had been a little more than a week since I joined the host club, and I was ready to scream. Ever since I called Tamaki Daddy he had become clingier and an even bigger pervert. And he wasn't the only one. Ever since those devilish twins realized the kind of reactions they could get out of me they hadn't stopped smothering me. I also hadn't stopped getting messages from Hotaru, Ibi and Hachiro every five minutes. The only time I could get away from the buzzing coming from my phone was when I was at the host club. So far this past week the only things' keeping me sane at school was Haruhi, Mori and Honey. Bringing us to where I am now.
Ouran Host Club Flower Viewing Reception
Haruhi, Mori, Honey and I, along with two guests, sat underneath a pink cherry blossom tree, making tea. We all watched silently as Honey vigorously stirred a green tea mixture in a small bowl. I sat there not sure whether or not tell Honey that the tea was spilling over the sides, and absorbing into the blanket we sat on. We all sat there staring at him conflicted as to if we should tell him. As I opened my mouth to tell Honey, I smoothed out my black outfit, which was the same as Haruhi's. But just before a noise could leave my throat Mori spoke up.
"Mitsukuni." Mori grunted. "You over did it."
I grimaced and looked to the side as Honey froze, with wide eyes. "He told him." I thought shocked. Slowly Honey took his stirring stick out of the bowl, which was almost devoid of tea. His eyes shrunk down to normal size, as sadness filled them and he looked like he was about to burst into tears. I jumped as one of the girls sitting with us yelled.
"Honey, I'll take it. It looks so yummy."
"It's just the right amount for the both of us any more would be too much." The other girl said. I blocked out the rest of the conversation as I looked to the sky and let out an exasperated breath.
"Maybe it's only Haruhi that's keeping me sane." I thought.
"Haruhi, you want to go and look around?" I mumbled to the cross dressing girl sitting next to me. She turned towards me and nodded her head before standing up. I copied her movement and the two of us walked away from our small distracted group. After a while of walking around Haruhi stopped suddenly and looked up. I stared at her for several second before following her gaze and looking towards the sky, where a kite was flying. Tilting my head, I tried to figure out where the white kite was coming from.
"Haruhi. Fuyoko." An annoyingly familiar voice said from behind us. As Haruhi turned to look at our blond haired club president, I dropped my head into my hands and sighed. "How are you doing? Are you having a good time?" Tamaki asked.
"Tamaki-sempai." Haruhi said.
"Don't acknowledge it." I moaned shaking my head, it referring to Tamaki.
"The flower viewing reception is going over quite well." He said dramatically. "But even so it's rather daunting to spend more time being admired than doing the admiring." This statement made both me and Haruhi sweatdrop.
"Wow sempai you're blooming in more ways than one." Haruhi stated. At this point I looked up at Tamaki as he suddenly pointed towards us.
"You noticed!" He exclaimed before striking a pose. "Yes, today my beauty is quite splendorous. I'm in full bloom. I bet you'll fall for me soon."
"If she doesn't strangle you first." I mumbled. "Or if I don't strangle you first." I glared at him, when all of a sudden I felt myself being pulled into an embrace. An arm wrapped around my waist and grab onto Haruhi's wrist, while the other went around my neck, the hand grabbing my opposite shoulder and a body pressed against my back. Looking up I blushed as my nose almost touched Kaoru's, and I could have sworn that I saw his face turn a little red. Then Haruhi was pushed into me with Hikaru behind her, his arm wrapped around her shoulder.
"So Snowflake, Haruhi. Have you two decided your elective courses this term?" Kaoru and Hikaru said in unison.
"How about conversational French?" Kaoru asked.
"I don't know." Haruhi mumbled.
"You guys can go ahead; I lived in France for a while so I've heard enough French to last a lifetime." I murmured, looking at the page Kaoru held in his hand.
"Even so I think the four of us should all take it together." Hikaru said. "It makes perfect sense."
"We are in the same class." The twins smugly announced, looking at back at Tamaki. I followed their gaze just in time to see Tamaki crouch near a tree, with an air of depression surrounding him. As I tried to pry myself out of Kaoru's grip, he just tightened his arm around my shoulder. This sent a chill down my spine as his breath hit my skin, heating my body.
"Say mommy." Tamaki said suddenly.
"What is it now… daddy." Kyoya responded, coming out of nowhere and writing on a small clipboard.
"I have a theory. I mean it's just my hypothesis but it seems that by being in the same class, Hikaru and Kaoru spend more time with Haruhi than I get to here at the club."
"Why was I excluded in that sentence? I'm in the same class as them." I mumbled raising an eyebrow.
"This gives them a chance to get close to her and if that happens." Tamaki finished.
"I'm right here." I shouted, trying to get out of Kaoru's grip while he and Hikaru laughed.
"Tamaki, you're just realizing that now?" Kyoya asked making Tamaki spasm and left a sound of dismay. Before walking over to a large whiteboard, which came out of seemingly nowhere, and pointing towards one of the large pie charts on it. Kyoya then described that Tamaki only spent a total of 3% of his day with both me and Haruhi.
"Ah I don't want to hear. I don't want to hear it." Tamaki shouted while he cried. All of a sudden Tamaki appeared in front of us and grabbed Haruhi, pulling her out of the sandwich the twins had squished us into. Unfortunately Haruhi's freedom meant my suffering. As soon as Haruhi was gone Hikaru and Kaoru stepped closer and squished me in between them yet again. I let out a whimper as the two wrapped their arms around me and snuggled close to me, before they looked at the scene in front of us.
"Why me?" I groaned in my head.
"Listen Haruhi." Tamaki yelled. "I want you to stop hanging out with those shady twins from now on."
"Who are you calling shady." Hikaru yelled as he and Kaoru shook their fists.
"Yeah take a good look at yourself, boss." Kaoru shouted.
"Am I that forgettable, Tamaki?" I grumbled, as Tamaki let go of Haruhi and fell backward, looking like his world had just been destroyed.
"T-that's it. All right then, we can't go hiding the fact that you're a girl from everyone in the school any longer." He yelled before sobbing. "All daddy wants is for you to go back to being the girl you used to be; for you to surround yourself with girlfriends and to start living a wholesome life." He then shook Haruhi back and forth. "So do it, change back now." He sobbed desperately.
"You don't have to rush things, she'll be found out soon enough." The twins said in unison. This sentence caused me to stop and forget about the hell I was dealing with right now, while I was squished between them.
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking up at them. This made them turn down towards me.
"Physical exams are the day after tomorrow." Kaoru explained.
"Physical… exams?" Haruhi said confused. The entire host club froze in shock once they heard her. While they were frozen the twins loosened their grip, giving me an escape route. I quickly lunged out of the sandwich I was in and stumbled backwards, stopping in front of Haruhi. While placing Haruhi between me and the twins, I sighed before speaking.
"I had physical exams at my last school and I hate them. There completely unnecessary." I mumbled.
"I forgot all about it." Kyoya said, while the club stared at Haruhi and I hid behind her.
"Then there's no doubt about it." Haruhi started.
"Everyone's going to find out you're a girl." I finished as we looked at each other. Meanwhile the host club, besides Mori and Kyoya, gasped in despair.
BEWARE THE PHYSICAL EXAM
The next day I walked into the host club, dressed in my school uniform, only to see Tamaki sitting in a chair and daydreaming. I blinked at him as he smiled dopily and giggled.
"He must be having a great daydream." Honey said.
"He's kind of creeping me out." Hikaru mumbled as he and Kaoru placed their elbows on my shoulders.
"Have you ever thought about getting him professional help?" I deadpanned, when Tamaki suddenly sprung up from his seat.
"Envious Hikaru, this is all part of my strategy. While you've wasted time focusing on your own jealously, I foresee the outcome of this charade." Tamaki announced. "Ah, this anime is obviously a romantic school comedy. Haruhi and I are the main characters, so that means we are love interests."
"I'm serious we could get him some really good help if we all pitched in with the costs." I mumbled, emotionlessly.
"If you're the main characters then what are we?" Kaoru and Hikaru asked.
"You boys are the homosexual supporting cast." Tamaki announced pointing at us. Wait is he including me with these idiots. He is. "So don't step over this line." He said as he used a stick to draw a line on the floor. That's it. With a growl I stepped forward and ripped the stick from his hands. I then proceeded to snap it over my knee, while Tamaki gasped.
"And what character am I? Cause I know I'm not being roped in with, as you put it, the homosexual supporting cast." I hissed at him, holding up one half of the stick which now had a very sharp end. Tamaki cowered in fear and cried as I stood over him.
"Mommy our younger daughter is being scary and mean. Those shady twins have broken her." Tamaki sobbed. "Someone help." He screamed as I stepped over his line and came closer.
"Fuyoko." Kyoya warned with amusement, as he smirked into his black book.
"Fine." I sighed as I threw the sticks down and walked back towards the group, stopping behind Honey.
"Hey listen boss." Hikaru started.
"I don't think you get it." Kaoru continued
"If word gets out that Haru-chan is really a girl, then she won't be able to be in the host club anymore. And if Haru-chan leaves then Fuyo-Chan will leave too" Honey finished, as Tamaki lost all colour in his body. "But if Haru-chan started wearing girl clothes I think she'd be even cuter than she is now."
"She dressed like a regular girl when she was in middle school right. She must have been pretty popular with the boys." Hikaru said.
"Yeah according to my investigative reports someone would confess their undying love to her at least once a month." Kyoya responded.
"Oh I see so the boss wouldn't even be able to get close to her." Kaoru stated.
"But we'd be able to because we would be in class with her all day long." Hikaru continued.
"Haru-chan must have been pretty popular to get confessed to like that. What about you Fuyo-chan?" Honey asked me.
"I got confessed to at least once a week but most of the time it was just guys coming up to me and mumbling incoherently, while blushing, or they were chased away by my twin Hotaru and one of my best friends Ibi." I explained. "Who are the reason I've never had a date; that plus my personality." I finished, just as the door opened.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm so late." Haruhi said as she stepped into the room, only to be attacked by Tamaki, who grabbed onto her.
"Don't you worry Haruhi, we're determined to keep your secret no one will find out that you're really a girl during tomorrows physical." Tamaki shouted in her face.
"Hey Tamaki, you think you could be a little louder. I think only half the school heard you." I said, emotionlessly, across the room.
"So please promise you'll stay our beloved secret princess." Tamaki continued.
"Sure." She murmured while I sat down in a chair. I watched, amused, as the guys came up with an overly elaborate plan on a whiteboard. Sighing I stood up and walked over to Haruhi.
"Are you really ok with this?" I asked.
"If it keeps them busy, then I don't see a problem." She said, before smacking her fist against her palm. "I got it you guys are worried because if people find out I'm a girl then I can't repay my debt."
As Haruhi turned around and started mumbling to herself I spoke to myself. "If Haruhi isn't with the host club then I can help her pay off her debt another way, and I don't have to be in the club anymore. Cool."
"What do you mean Fuyo-chan?" Honey asked, coming up to me. "Don't you like being in the host club with us?"
"It's not that. I like you and Mori. And I can stand Kyoya." I said before glaring at the twins and Tamaki making them sweat drop. "It's them." I glared, making the three of them shiver in fear. Beside me Haruhi seemed to have come to a conclusion.
"It looks like I'll have to come up with another way to pay back my debt." Haruhi said as we smiled at each other.
"Do something. The subject doesn't appear to have any motivation and she now has an ally." Hikaru and Kaoru hissed in unison.
"Why did I get stuck with such difficult heroine and sidekick?" Tamaki questioned.
"Haruhi better be the sidekick." I said.
"Are you saying that you hate being a host? That you two hate this club?" Tamaki screamed across the room.
"To be honest I'd have to say yes." Both I and Haruhi said, while Tamaki hid in the corner. I was way too focused on how Tamaki was making that depression cloud, to hear what the rest of the club nattered on about. My attention refocused when Haruhi froze next to me.
"That's right you didn't get a chance to eat any during last episodes party. Did you?" Tamaki said suddenly.
"First of all eat what and secondly what episode?" I questioned.
"You weren't here for that episode." Honey explained.
"Oh, that in no way explains it." I mumbled, before turning back to the scene in front of me.
"Come on don't be silly. Just because I'm poor and I've never had it doesn't mean I'm so much of a glutton that I would go on fooling everyone about my gender, just to try some fancy tuna." Haruhi said nervously, while laughing. "Am I really going to get to try it?" She asked, while the boys laughed in glee.
"Fancy Tuna? If you want some Haruhi I can just…" I started only to get cut off by the twins, Hikaru who wrapped his arms around my body and Kaoru who slapped his hand over my mouth.
The Next Morning
"We will begin conducting Physical Examination shorty. All students please proceed to the clinic in your respective school building." A voice announced over the loud speaker as I rushed down the hallway. I had arrived late to school because Scrapper was sick and I didn't get much sleep last night. Quickly I ran and found my way to the clinic. My eyebrows raised once I stepped in, the place look almost the exact same as the clinic at my old school when Physical Exam time came around. As I slowly walked forward I was suddenly bumped into by a tall man in a lab coat rushing by. As he mumbled an apology I couldn't help but notice that he looked a little too disheveled. My eyes followed him as he left the room.
"Strange." I mumbled before I continued walking. In the large crowd of people I finally caught a glimpse of Haruhi. I rushed towards her and stopped next to Kyoya, who was beside Haruhi. "Mori, Honey why are you dressed like doctors?" I asked, noticing the two. My eyebrows rose when they didn't answer me and I turned to see what all four of them were looking at. I choked and felt my entire body blush as I saw what they were looking at. Standing in front of me were Hikaru and Kaoru… shirtless. I froze and as much as I tried I couldn't take my eyes off their chests.
"I won't allow it. It's just not fair. I won't let those doctors touch you Kaoru." Hikaru whispered to his brother, making me swallow hard.
"What are you talking about? You don't seem to have a problem touching me when we play doctor at home. I can't get you to stop tickling and playing with my body." Kaoru said while he and Hikaru embraced each other.
"Haru-chan this way." Honey shouted as he and Mori pushed her into a tent.
"What are you guys planning?" I asked as I tried to calm my breathing and make my blush go down.
"You'll see." Two voices said in unison, as the twins appeared out of nowhere ad leaned against me. I stood there in shock before my brain finally registered something.
"Put your shirts on." I hissed as I looked down, bangs covering my eyes, trying to hide my blush.
"Mr. Fujioka, are you ready to be measured now." A voice asked. I looked up and watched as the screen in which Haruhi was hiding behind opened. Once it opened my jaw dropped and I sweatdropped at the scene in front of me.
"I'm Haruhi Fujioka.", said Tamaki, in brown haired wig.
"What!" I exclaimed. It was obvious from the murmurs around the room, that I wasn't the only one who figured out that that was Tamaki. I jumped as the twins bent forward and laughed hysterically.
"I can't believe he fell for it." Hikaru laughed.
"They recognized him. I told you they'd totally see through it." Kaoru chuckled loudly. I smirked when Tamaki threw down his wig and grabbed Hikaru by the throat.
"You jerks. You said there was no way the girls would be able to tell it was me." Tamaki yelled.
"I think you're underestimating the intelligence of the girls at this school." I added in.
"It's payback for calling us the homosexual supporting cast." Hikaru gritted out. Tamaki then pushed him back and headed for the curtain. I grabbed Hikaru before he could trip onto his back, but once his bare skin hit my palms I pushed him to the side. All of a sudden Tamaki screamed. With a sigh I walked over to the curtain and stepped in.
"You okay?" I asked Haruhi as she knelt on the floor.
"Yeah I'm fine." Haruhi said standing next to me.
"Sometime I wonder if the boys share a brain." I murmured.
"Haruhi ready I set up a separate up a separate room for you, a special boys room. And I have a doctor standing by sworn to secrecy." Kyoya said as he stepped up behind me. "Fuyoko the room is also for you too. I had a feeling you would want some privacy too." My eyes widened as I understood his real meaning.
"Thanks." I mumbled as I looked down, before grabbing Haruhi's wrist and dragging her along, with Kyoya leading the way.
Special Boys' Clinic
Once Kyoya left I knocked on the door of the clinic.
"Come in." A voice said, before Haruhi opened the door. "Oh, Mr. Fujioka and Miss. Rain I've been made aware of your different situations. Please disrobe for me over there."
We moved over towards the changing room and started to remove our clothes. I slowly took off my dress, letting it pool at my feet. Underneath I wore a black tank-top with a black bra and panties, while my black socks reached my knee and I still had my shoes on.
"Fuyoko what happened?" Haruhi asked shocked behind me.
"Huh?" I questioned before looking down at my body. Littered all across my body were tiny little scars and on my left side was a large scar, stretching from my hip to my belly button. "Yeah, that's what Kyoya meant when I would want a separate room. This happened a while ago… I-I don't want to talk about it."
I watched her mouth open to say something when she suddenly froze, looking behind me. Turning my head around I saw a man dressed in a lab coat. I then turned my body and stumbled back towards Haruhi.
"You can't be…" I started only to be cut off when the man put his hands over mine and Haruhi's mouths.
"No it's not what you think just please…" He started to plead, but was stopped when Tamaki appeared out of nowhere, kicking him in the face. I stared at the wall where the stranger had smashed into before sighing.
"One." Two voices said behind me, making me jump and grab onto Haruhi, my one hand gripping her arm and the other, her shoulder. "Good looks that attract the public eye."
"Two more wealth than you could imagine." Kyoya said, standing in the shadows.
Three." Mori started. "Chivalry that will never overlook,"
"the hideous wickedness of this world." Honey finished. I looked up when Tamaki threw his dress shirt over top of Haruhi's head, and covering my arm. Once my brain registered that I was half naked in front of the club, I collapsed to the floor, crouching and covering my front with my knees. My face heated up when I felt a blazer land on my shoulders and I turned to look at Hikaru, who was now only standing in a white dress shirt. Behind me I felt Kaoru place his hand on top of my head.
"That's what makes up the Ouran Host Club." Tamaki announced.
"We're here. Watch out." They shouted in unison.
"Seriously." I murmured sweatdopping as the man in front of us screamed.
"Please don't hurt me. Spare me my life." The doctor pleaded, before continuing to tell us his whole life story. I sighed as I waited for him to finish. Once he was done Tamaki had tears streaming down his face.
"That's so tragic!" Tamaki shouted, going up to the man. I rolled my eyes at Tamaki before sliding on Hikaru's blazer and buttoning it up. Once I stood up I was happy to realize that the blazer reached just under my butt, covering my lower half.
"Doctor Yabu," Kyoya began. "I think you may have the wrong place. Are you looking for Ouran Public High School?" Both Yabu and Tamaki looked up at Kyoya curiously, having suddenly stopped crying.
"Yeah, that's right." Kyoya sighed and pushed up his glasses.
"I figured this might be the case. This is Ouran Academy, a private institution." He explained. "Your daughter doesn't go to school here." After Kyoya finished Yabu froze and turned completely white
"Man, that's pretty sad." Hikaru deadpanned at the man "You don't even know what school your daughter goes too?"
"I bet your relationship is messed up because you don't pay attention to her." Kaoru stated, finishing his brother's thought. "Not because of some stupid debt."
"That's just sad." I stated shaking my head.
"Wow, Kyo-chan I'm impressed you figured out that he had the wrong school." Honey exclaimed.
"Well there's no way the daughter of such a small town doctor could afford to go here." Kyoya explained.
"Kyoya would you please find a map of all the public schools in this area." Tamaki said suddenly. "I'd like to help this man find his daughter."
"Whatever you say." Kyoya said.
"Maybe Tamaki isn't just an idiot. Who knew he had this side to him." I thought with a smile, as we all watched him go.
"I'm sorry about this you guys but could you please leave." Haruhi asked, making the host club gasp and back away.
"Are you two still angry with me? Don't tell me your thinking of quitting the host club." Our blond haired president asked, his voice full of nervousness.
"Don't be stupid Sempai. I have to finish my physical exam. As a male student." She laughed. "But let's get one thing straight, I'm not doing this because you're bribing me with food, it's to pay off my debt."
As she said this she was tackled into a hug by Tamaki.
"You're so cute, HARUHI! I can see right through you, I know you're both just after that Fancy Tuna!"
"Hey, cut it out! Get off-don't touch me there!" Haruhi screamed.
"Red-Card!" The twins cheered.
"Looks like Tamaki-Sempai," Hikaru started, grinning
"Is the real pervert!" Kaoru finished with a smirk. I rubbed my head sensing an incoming headache, stepping forward. Grabbing Tamaki's face I threw him off of Haruhi, before grabbing her shoulder and pulling her closer.
"You guys should really get out. Unless you want to stay." I smirked leaning my head against Haruhi's and un-buttoning on of the top buttons of the blue blazer I was wearing. Laughing internally I watched as Tamaki, Kaoru and Hikaru blushed a deep red , before Tamaki grabbed everyone and rushed out of the room.
