~HARUHI IS NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS~
3rd P.O.V.
"So tell me Haruhi, do you have any hobbies? What do you like to do?" One of Haruhi's guests asked her.
"I'm curious, what kind of products do you use on your skin?" Another girl asked.
"Yes, it's so pretty!" The third girl commented with a smile.
'Uhh.. I can't do this anymore.' Haruhi thought nervously with an eye twitch.
'I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.' She finished with a nervous sweatdrop.
"So why did you join the host club, Haruhi?" The three girls asked in unison, giggling slightly.
'Uhh... All I have to do is get a hundred customers to request me and they'll forget about my 8,000,000 yen debt... I know just the story.' Haruhi thought to herself, while straightening up her back.
Tamaki popped up from behind his couch, sneakily keeping an eye on Haruhi and how she was with her guests. He moved himself along the couch, creeping his fingers along with him.
"I see... Your mother was sick and passed away ten years ago. Who does the chores around the house?" The brunette asked Haruhi, with a tilt of her head.
"Oh Ryuu and I do them ourselves. Our mother taught both Ryuu and I. She was an amazing cook. And when she went to the hospital, she left us all kinds of recipes. It was fun to create each dish, especially when they turned out well. And it made me happy to see my dad and Ryuu enjoy it. I've had a hard childhood, but Ryuu, Dad, and I have managed to make it through okay." Haruhi answered her with a soft smile.
"So.. uh.." One of the girls began to say.
"Is it okay if tomorrow..." The second girl continued.
"...we requested to sit with you again?" Thethird girl finished asking.
"Yeah, I really appreciate that, ladies." Haruhi told them with a relieved and happy smile.
"Why is he so popular?" Tamaki asked with a crossed look.
"He's a natural." Kyoya commented with a push of his glasses.
"No training needed." Hikaru and Kaoru commented together.
"That's my Haruhi, I wouldn't expect anything less." Ryuu said with a smug smirk, causing the twins to gain light blushes on their faces.
"Have you forgotten about me?" Ayanokoji asked causing Tamaki to look at her.
"Oh, no, sorry princess. I'm just a little bit concerned about our newest host." Tamaki commented with a slight flick of his hair, causing some glitter to appear in the background before disappearing.
"Well, that's obvious, Tamaki. You sure have been keeping an eye on him." Ayanokoji told him, looking at him from the corner of her eyes.
"Of course, I have to. I'm training him to be a gentleman like me. Haruhi, come here for a minute." Tamaki told her, then snapped his fingers, getting Haruhi's attention, and motioning her to come over.
"What's up?" Haruhi asked, walking over.
"I'd like you to meet someone. This is my regular guest, princess Ayanokoji." Tamaki told Haruhi, motioning over to Ayanokoji.
'It's that girl from earlier.' Haruhi thought with a gasp.
"Miss, it's a pleasure to meet you." Haruhi greeted her with a smile.
"That was so cute! That air of bashfulness was very good! Super good, amazingly good!" Tamaki exclaimed, swinging Haruhi around like she weighed nothing, while also suffocating her in his tight hug.
"Oh, Tamaki." Ayanokoji said with a raise of her hand, trying to get his attention.
"Oh, you're so cute!" Tamaki gushed out with a absolute red face.
"Mori-senpai! Help me!" Haruhi yelled out, managing to turn around in Tamaki's death hug, causing Mori-senpai to run over and pluck her out of Tamaki's grip.
In that moment, another light bulb went off. Mori-senpai was the next person to realize that Haruhi was indeed not a male but a female. Now only one more person to go.
"Mori-senpai, you really didn't have to go that far." Tamaki said with his arms in front of him, shocked at Mori-senpai's actions. Mori-senpai was still holding Haruhi up in the air, and in the background, both Hikaru and Kaoru had to hold back a certain over-protection brother, from running over and strangling Tamaki's neck.
"Come on, little one. Let daddy give you a big hug." Tamaki finished saying, causing Ayanokoji to flare up with jealousy in the background.
"I've already got a dad. I don't need another one." Haruhi commented, earning a big glare from Ayanokoji, not that she knew.
"Hey, what happened to my bag?" Haruhi asked aloud, in front of a window. Turning around, she looked outside.
"Are you kidding me?" Haruhi exclaimed in disbelief.
"But how did that happen? I didn't think there were bullies at this school. Hm, guess they're everywhere." Haruhi finished saying, leaning away from the window. As she turned around, she spotted her older brother Ryuu.
"Hey Ryuu." Haruhi greeted him with a smile.
"Hey Haru, what's up?" He asked her, pulling her into a hug.
"Someone tossed my bag into the pond, so I'm going to go and get my things." She told him, causing him to grit his teeth in anger.
"I'll come help. No one messes with my little sister and gets away with it. I'll deal with them." He told her, causing her to smile at his protectiveness.
While they ran towards the pond, they encountered a wild red witch. (Lol, Haruhi! I choose you!) HAHA :P
"Oh, it's you guys again." She commented rudely, causing them to stop a couple steps away from her.
"I bet you love having Tamaki making you over and fawning over you." She continued, causing Ryuu and Haruhi to look at each other, before looking at Ayanokoji from the corner of their eyes.
"It's useless, though. You're always going to be a second-class citizen." Ayanokoji finished with a smirk, before walking off, her foot steps echoing in the empty hall.
'I have a feeling that girl is the one who threw my bag in the pond. I can't be bothered with her right now, though. I've gotta find my wallet or Ryuu and I won't have any money for food this week.' Haruhi thought to herself, before looking over to her older brother, who was tensed with anger.
"Ryuu, are you okay?" Haruhi asked her older brother, causing him to pause his actions and look over to her.
"Yeah, just angry. I'm angry about what that Ayanokoji person did, but I know better than to lay a hand on a lady. Though, I have the feeling the twins will probably do something about it." He told her, with a smirk on his face, before looking through the water again, to find Haruhi's wallet.
"Hey, commoners!" Tamaki exclaimed, catching both Haruhi's and Ryuu's attention.
"You've got some nerve, skipping out on the club like that. Why is your bag all wet?" He said before questioning them.
"Uh, it's no big deal. We got it. I just can't find our food money." Haruhi said, while her and Ryuu got back to searching.
A splash in the water caught both of their attention.
"Hey, you don't have to do that. You'll get wet." Haruhi told Tamaki who was searching in the water.
"Yeah, we got this, you don't have to get yourself wet to help Tamaki." Ryuu said, with a slight surprised expression.
"A little water never hurt anyone. Besides, people are always telling me that I'm dripping with good looks." Tamaki commented, causing Haruhi to look at him with slight adoration.
"Hang on a second. This what you're looking for?" He questioned, walking over to Haruhi with the wallet.
"What's the matter? You're staring off into space. You're not falling for me, are you?" He said with a slight smirk, snapping Haruhi out of her trance, and causing Ryuu to snicker in the background.
"No way." Haruhi exclaimed, snatching the wallet out of Tamaki's hand.
"How did your bag end up in the pond anyway?" Tamaki asked her.
"Well, uh... I guess I accidentally dropped it out the window at some point." Haruhi said.
Switch Over Back To Music Room #3, With Haruhi And Ayanokoji, With The Twins Comforting A Pissed Off Ryuu.
"Oh really, that must have been terrible. I can't imagine what I'd do if my bag fell into the pond." Ayanokoji commented with a smug look, putting her cup down.
'Why did she request me when it's obvious she doesn't like me?' Haruhi thought to herself.
"And you actually made Tamaki search that dirty old pond with you. How astonishing. You do realize he's a blue blood, not a commoner, right?" Ayanokoji said, linking her hands together to rest her chin upon.
"The only reason he's paying attention to you is because he's trying to turn you into a gentleman.
Don't start thinking he cares about you just because he's doting on you." Ayanokoji finished telling Haruhi, causing her to gasp in realization.
"Now I understand. You're jealous of me." Haruhi said truthfully, causing Ayanokoji to freeze up in shock and anger.
To put up an act to get Haruhi in trouble. Princess Ayanokoji decided to pull Haruhi by the collar of her shirt and over the table. Causing not only the table to flip over but the tea set to fall and break. At this point Ryuu got up and stormed over, with Hikaru and Kaoru hot on his tail.
"No, Haruhi, leave me alone! Somebody, help! He just attacked me!" Ayanokoji screamed out, causing everyone to look over at the commotion.
"Someone, do something! Teach this commoner a lesson!" Ayanokoji demanded. Though right after, two people poured water over Haruhi and Ayanokoji (A.K.A. the bitch with red hair.) Those two people turned out to be Hikaru and Kaoru. Even though Ryuu was pissed off to no extent, he knew the both of them had a reason for it.
"Why did you do that?" Ayanokoji asked with a shocked expression towards the twins.
"Do something, Tamaki. Haruhi just assaulted me." Ayanokoji told him, after he helped her up off the floor.
"I'm disappointed in you. You threw his bag into the pond, didn't you?" Tamaki demanded her, which had Haruhi looking at him with shock and a look one couldn't explain yet.
"You don't know that. Do you have any proof that I did?" Ayanokoji questioned him hastily.
"First, you approached the both of us, right after Haruhi found her bag and belongings in the pond. Second, you requested Haruhi, and when she told you the truth you didn't want to hear, you caused a scene, hoping to get Haruhi in trouble, which didn't work by the way. Third and foremost, you mess with Haruhi, you mess with me. You touch Haruhi ever again, and you'll be dealing with me, you got it!?" Ryuu told her with the angriest face the host club has ever scene. He had his hands on Haruhi's shoulders, being there comfort wise, but he was giving Ayanokoji the deadliest glare he had, which had Ayanokoji cowering in fright.
"You know, you're a beautiful girl. But you aren't classy enough to be our guest, dear. If there's one thing I know, Haruhi is not that kind of a man." Tamaki told her with a stern look.
"But why, Tamaki? You idiot!" Ayanokoji cried out before running off.
"Hmm, now how am I going to punish you? Because it is your fault after all. Your quota is now one thousand!" Tamaki questioned himself aloud, before pointing at Haruhi and exclaiming her punishment.
"One thousand?" Haruhi whimpered out, with multiple twitches of her eyes, which caused Ryuu to bust out laughing. Gaining blushes from his boyfriends, and a few girls to squeal happily, not that he cared at the moment.
"Come on. I've got high expectations for you, my little rookie." Tamaki told her, while helping her off the floor, before giving Haruhi a wink, causing her to look at him in disbelief.
"This is the only spare uniform we have. Sorry, but it's better than a wet one, right?" Kyoya told her, while handing Haruhi the bag.
"Thanks a lot, you guys. I'm gonna go change." Haruhi told them, whilst looking in the bag.
"Haruhi, here you go. I brought you some towels." Tamaki said, opening up the curtain, holding the towels before freezing in shock, while Haruhi looked at him with a tank top on, and her shirt halfway off her arms.
While still in shock, Tamaki let go of the curtain, allowing it to close. Right there and then, the final light bulb went off. Now the entire Host Club knows Haruhi is a girl.
"Haruhi?.." Tamaki called out.
"Yeah." Haruhi answered.
"So, you're a girl?" Tamaki asked her.
In The Background, a photo of Haruhi's photo ID shows. With an arrow pointing to her gender.
"Biologically speaking, yeah." Haruhi told him.
Haruhi looked at Tamaki with a small gasp, and somehow red roses popped up around her. Tamaki yelled in shock and disbelief whilst tugging his hair.
"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 for what sex they are." Haruhi told him while fixing the ribbon on the dress she was wearing.
"Well, isn't this an interesting development." said Kyoya.
(KNEW IT FROM THE START)
"Oh, yeah." Hikaru and Kaoru said, with Ryuu's arms around their shoulders.
(FIGURED IT OUT ALONG THE WAY)
"Uh, you know, I have to say, senpai. I thought you were pretty cool earlier." Haruhi told Tamaki causing him to blush deep red and walk slightly backwards, in which Ryuu narrowed his eyes at.
"Now I could be wrong, but I think we may be witnessing the beginnings of love here." Kyoya said with a smirk, earning a look from Ryuu.
"Being a host and getting fussed over by a bunch of girls might not be that bad." Haruhi said, causing Tamaki to look at her in shock and a lot of disbelief, while the others regrouped in front of her.
"I wonder how I could pull it off. I've got it!" Haruhi said while lightly thumping her fist against her hand.
I'll just call everyone dude and bro now." Haruhi finished saying, with a giggle, causing Ryuu to smile at her lightly.
