Chapter 7: Let The Real Game Begin

HIIIIII! …yeah…I actually don't really have much to say…so enjoy! :D

Preview:
Karou's POV:
(sigh) That really took energy out of me, if just being with them does this, then when I lose the game, I'm going to be drained constantly...but, I don't think I'll mind when I reveal everything...anyways there's something about Haruhi and the twins I want to know more about...but person-to person. Well, this game is going to be fun while it last. That Kyoya, I'm pretty sure, he's going to cheat...(small smile) truthfully, I really can't wait to find out what the host club finds out about me and my family...having fun, Kei? (Looks up at the sky.)

Starting chapter 7:

Mizuki's POV:
Beep beep beep, bebebebeep, bebebebeep, bebebebe-
(Mizuki slaps the dismiss button on the clock and sluggishly gets out of bed.) Ugh…my head. I feel as if I was spinning for hours…maybe it's because of yesterday… (Yawn) (Goes to the bathroom) Why does the bathroom feel farther away? (Realization) Oh yeah, I came to the mansion…6am…really early…but I have to get up this early to do everything today. *knocking sound* "Mistress? May I come in?" Oh yeah, Hannah comes here around 6am everyday…can't believe I almost forgot. "Of course, Hannah." "Oh you're up. When you came back home, you looked really tired, I thought you couldn't wake up and came to wake you up, but looks like you're doing fine as always." "(smile) Thank you, Hannah, it's the thought that counts. If you don't mind, I'll be leaving early today as well." "Oh no mistress, that's what I'm here for. I'll go get breakfast ready." "Thank you Hannah." (Hannah leaves) (Sigh) She really is a sweet old lady. Gotta get 'ready' (Wears jean capris with a white t-shirt that has a picture of a poppy on her shirt pocket.) Remember, it's May right now. (Goes down to the kitchen) "Hannah! Where are you?"

Hannah: "You're done getting ready for school already?"

Mizuki: "Of course, I have to leave at least two hours early if I want to get to school on time."

Hannah: "You're not meeting a boy right now are you?"

Mizuki: What? "Where did you get that idea from?"

Hannah: "Nothing, I was just curious." (Just smiles and goes back into the kitchen)

Mizuki: She may be a sweet old lady, but sometimes I just don't understand what she is thinking at times. "Oh Hannah, I have to leave now."

Hannah: "You're not skipping meals again, are you?"

Mizuki: "Of course not, I just finished your gigantic breakfast didn't you? Also, you were watching the whole time I was eating."

Hannah: "Of course. Be safe!"

Mizuki: "I will! Thanks again for your help, Hannah!" (Leaves)

Hannah: "Mistress is definitely hiding something…but what? Oh well, I need to open all of the curtains and dust everything too…though usually, there is nothing to dust."

Mizuki's POV:
(Riding towards her apartment on her motorcycle and sees Akio at a park. She parks her motorcycle and walks up to Akio) "Hayashi-san?" What is he doing here? Doesn't he go to school soon?

Akio's POV:
While I was remembering and thinking about Kei, the new girl, Mizuki just came into my thoughts. First I thought it was a trick from my brain, but only to find Mizuki standing in front of me asking if I was okay. "Um yeah, I'm fine. Anyways, what are you doing so early outside in the morning, Makoto-san?" She looked kind of confused when I asked her that question. "Ummm…I'm leaving for school right now. What are you doing here? Don't you have school?" So that's why she was confused, but school doesn't start for about an hour and a half. "Um, I can leave for school, but if I do right now, I'd be really early and won't be able to get into the school yet. (Smile)" I just noticed how cute Mizuki looked in those jeans and shirt.

Mizuki: "Hehe, right. I have to go now."

Akio: "Do you always leave this early to go to school?"

Mizuki: "Well, I have some business to take care of every day. (Smile) So pretty much, yeah."

Akio: "You have a busy life, don't you?"

Mizuki: "Yeah, (looks at her watch) Oh gosh! I'm going to be late! I have to go now. (Gets on her bike) Bye!" (rides off)

I didn't know she drove a motorcycle…I didn't even know she even had a license…

Mizuki's POV:
I hope I get to school on time today...

Later at 12:02pm…

Karou's POV:
I did get to school on time and thank goodness I didn't lose my composure…"Ryo-Chan, Ryo-Chan!" Mitskuni-senpai's voice. (Sigh) (Turns around) "What do you want?"

Honey: (Hugs Karou really tight)

Karou: (surprised) "What's with you? Don't go around hugging people without their permission, especially me." (Pushes Honey off of him)

Honey: (tears) "You are so strong! Just hang in there!" (Is carried off to music room 3 by Mori)

Karou: Guess they found out a lot about me yesterday…now I'm really starting to get curious…just need to wait 3 hours and 50 minutes more…(sigh) But…I kind of don't want to lose this game either…(shrugs) Eh, what to do? (walks off)

After school…

Haruhi's POV: -In the library-
(working on homework) (sigh) I finally finished my math homework. (closes workbook and then looks at the clock) Oh gosh! I'm going to be late! (Running through the halls) They'll keep bothering me if I'm late…(arrives and now is inside the club room) Where am I? Am I in the right room? "Aw, it's only Haruhi." Geez, I'm sorry to disappoint you. "Haruhi, you're late." Of course, Kyoya-Senpai goes ahead and tells me what I did wrong right away. "Haruhi! We can wear matching outfits!" Tamaki-Senpai…he may be the 'King', but to me, he is the king of obnoxiousness. -_-

Karou's POV:-In the courtyard where the fountain is-
(Looks at watch) it's time. (Gets up and heads towards the 3rd music room) I am curious to find out what the hosts found out about me…but at the same time…I'm kind of scared to know what they found out…looking at Mitskuni-Senpai's action towards me today…I feel like they found out more than I usually let people find out…well…what's done is done…(arrives at the door) here goes nothing…(takes deep breath, and opens the door.) This breeze and this time, when I opened the door, I don't feel rose petals landing on me, I smell something like a rain forest and before I knew it, I was kind of confused to where I was…

Honey: "Ryo-Chan, Ryo-Chan!" (Goes running up to Karou) "Did you come here for some cake and tea?" (Smiley with his big, goofy grin)

Kyoya: "I'm thinking our friend here visited us today for something different." (Nods at Karou)

Karou: (Nods back at Kyoya) Nodding…it kind of already has become Kyoya-Senpai's and my way of greeting each other. Right after I nodded, a bird…a toucan flew down and landed on my right forearm and a snake slithered and wrapped itself around my left arm, rests some parts of its body around my neck and rests its head on my right shoulder. "Why do you guys have exotic animals in here?"

Tamaki: "It is so that the guests may feel the full effect of the exotic warmth of a tropical jungle!"

Random guest: "Karou-Kun! Aren't you scared of that snake?"

Karou: "Why would I be afraid?"

Another random guest: "And that bird. Isn't it heavy?"

Karou: "No, it's not heavy and this bird is called a toucan. Also, this snake is a cobra" What is this cobra doing here anyway?

Random guest: "You're so brave, strong and smart."

Karou: "…Suoh-San, a cobra snake does not belong in a tropical island."

Tamaki: "I know that of course! I just wanted a cobra snake to be here."

Karou: Sometimes I wonder if he listens to himself speak. "It might have scared the guests away."

Tamaki: It was in a case before.

Karou: (sets bird on a random tree) "Is this snake someone's pet or did you guys import it from somewhere?"

Hikaru + Kaoru: "That snake is our pet."

Karou: "then take good care of it. Don't just cage it in, but also, don't let it roam freely and mate with the snakes that live around here…but I don't think there are any snakes around this area anyways." (Brings cobra to Kaoru)

Kaoru: (Takes the snake from Karou)

Karou: "Because your club activities aren't finished yet, I'll be back later." (Starts walking towards the door)

Tamaki: "WAIT! You're on my territory now! You have to do what I say…Makoto-san, are you familiar with the saying, When in Rome, do what the Romans do?"

Karou: "I'm familiar with that saying, and I do understand what you're telling me to do, but I would think it wise to 'do what the romans do' after club activities. What do you think, Ootori-San?"

Kyoya: "Usually, I wouldn't care, but for now, Tamaki, let him come around 5pm when club activities are done."

Tamaki: "Fine…You may leave."

Kaoru: "Uh…boss?" -.-

Hikaru: "He already left." -.-

Tamaki: "WHAT! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS!"

Hikaru: "Geez, calm down boss."

Kaoru: "It's not like it's the end of the world."

Karou's POV: -Back at the courtyard where the fountain is-
That Tamaki…he really is annoying and obnoxious…but at the same time…he livens things up…(Sigh) I'm already feeling tired though. My headache is coming back… (Lies down on a bench and falls asleep)

One hour later…

Tamaki: "Oi Makoto-San. Wake up."

What? Who's voice was that? (Opens eyes to see Tamaki's looking down on her and instinctively punches Tamaki in the face with her fist.)

Tamaki: "Ow! What was that for!" (Holding his nose)

Karou: "Creep."

Tamaki: "What did I do!"

Karou: (Sits up.) "Sorry, Suoh. When someone gets too close to me, my instinct is to punch or harm that person in anyways possible to get him or her away from me. But…(pushes hair out of face.) the way you looked at me would frighten anyone from their sleep."

Random Girl hiding behind a bush: (Squeal) "Did you see that! Did you see that !" (She means when he pushed his hair out of his face.)

Friend of Random Girl hiding with her: "Shhhh! They'll hear us."

Karou: (Turns to look at the two girls) "If you don't mind, please refrain from stalking me any longer. (Glare) It's annoying."

Random Girl hiding behind a bush: (sigh) "even his glare is dreamy."

Friend of Random Girl hiding with her: (sigh) "I know right? I wish, even if it was a glare, he would glare at me the whole entire day."

Karou: (Walks up to them and says something to them quietly so that the host club won't be able to hear.)

Both of the girls: (squeals while running away in glee)

Karou: (Walks back and sits on the bench) (sigh) "What is wrong with the girls here?"

Kaoru: "What were doing sleeping on the bench anyway?"

Karou: "I was tired and my head started to hurt, so I took a nap."

Hikaru: "Why not in the nurse's office?"

Karou: "Because I felt like sleeping outside."

Tamaki: "Such blunt answers! You must put some meaning into those words when you join the host club."

Karou: "When you win the game I might. Go on."

Kyoya: "You just said when we win the game…"

Karou: "It's exactly as you thought it would be."

Kyoya: "Do you have a purpose?"

Karou: "Yes. Is the 3rd music room clean? No trees, animals, and girls?"

Tamaki: "Yeah, why?"

Karou: "I don't want anymore people spying on us while we speak and you guys tell me the answers."

Kyoya: "That's probably a good idea. Tamaki."

Tamaki: "Let's go."

In the 3rd music room…

Karou: "Because it is my game, I will ask the questions and you guys tell me the answers. I will then tell if you guys are correct or not. Who knows? I might even tell a story." (shrugs)

Haruhi: This guy loves taking charge.

Karou: "Ootori-San, who?" (He is asking who know his true gender.)

Kyoya: "Me, the twins, Honey-Senpai and Mori-Senpai."

Karou: "When?" (Question: When did they find out?)

Kyoya: "Yesterday around 9pm."

Karou: "How?"

Kyoya: "Elementary school." (Answer: Hikaru and Kaoru found out your elementary school)

Karou: "What about Fujioka-San and Suoh-san?" (Question: Why don't they know about my gender?)

Kyoya: "Father prevention and slept till this morning." (Answer: Haruhi's father wanted her to help out with something that took the whole entire day and Tamaki did find out some of your history but fell asleep so we had to take him home and he slept till today.)

Karou: (sigh) Really, that Tamaki.

Hikaru: "Yo, can you guys let the rest of us in what you guys are talking about?"

Kaoru: "It's kind of hard to understand your gibberish."

Karou: "It seems like most of you know there is to know about me…but let the trivia start."

Tamaki and Haruhi sit on the couch with two spaces. Kyoya sits on a single space couch chair thingy, the twins and Mori sit on the three space couch and Honey is sitting on Mori's lap while Karou is sitting on a single space couch chair thingy too.

Karou: "Where was I born?"

Honey: "In the United States!"

Karou: "What state?"

Honey: "California."

Karou: "Why did I move here?"

Hikaru: "Because your parent's company transferred here."

Karou: "How old was I?"

Kaoru: "5 Years old."

Karou: "In what city did I live in first?"

Mori: "Kyoto then you moved to Tokyo."

Karou: "Which Elementary school did I attend to first?"

Honey: "The elementary section here at Ouran."

Karou: "When did I stop attending here?"

Honey: "During second semester in your 3rd year of elementary school."

Karou: I have to ask why…but it's going to be painful…"I want each of you to tell me my story. I can tell that Ootori-San and Morinozuka-San already knows my story, so Honeynozuka-San, Hitachiin-San and Hitachiin-San will tell me my story. Starting with Honeynozuka-San telling me about my elementary school years…tell me everything."

Honey: "Okay! When Ryo-Chan was in elementary school..."

Cliffhanger because it will be too long if I go on telling about Mizuki's History, the story might go over 4,000 to 5,000 words. It will be too long to read. So yeah...this chapter I admit was a bit boring, but I think Mizuki's history will be fun to find out about. Don't you? :)
