Recap:
They were already at Haruhi's apartment.
"See yah at school Haruhi-san!" Emiko waved at Haruhi, already heading towards her house.
"Take care!" Haruhi replied, also waving her hand at Emiko.
CHAPTER 9
"Mp3? Check. Insect repellant? Check. Camera?"
Emiko checked the things that she will bring for the school trip. She turned her camera on but it automatically turned off later on, showing a red "x" sign on the screen.
"Dead bat. Grrr… Bad trip! I forgot to charge it last night"
Then, suddenly her watch beeped.
"Oh shoot! It's time already! Gosh! I need to hurry or I'll be late again."
Emiko put on her varsity jacket and sneakers; she grabbed her things and exited her room.
As she went down the stairs, she was greeted by her mother.
"Oh? You're going already? You haven't eaten breakfast yet. And—"
Mrs. Hirohata's eyes landed on her way of clothing.
"What are you wearing? You look like a boy" she said.
"hehe…" Emiko laughed nervously. "Mom, I better get going now. Bye!"
Emiko kissed her mother goodbye and exited the house. After exiting her house, she put on her wig. Then, off she goes.
"Good morning Emiko!" Haruhi greeted Emiko who entered the school's large gate. Haruhi was wearing a shirt with a hoodie on it and brown pants, completed with white sneakers.
"Good morning Haruhi-san!" Emiko greeted back while smiling.
"So, is everyone ready?" Kyouya said while looking at each student. Suddenly, a blonde-haired girl appeared from behind Kyouya, surprising the other host club members.
"Ready as I'll ever be." the blonde-haired girl said while carrying her expensive Chanel handbag.
"Good morning Kyouya!" she said as she tugged on his left arm, smiling widely.
"Good morning Renge." Kyouya greeted her, slowly pulling his arm away from her grasp.
"Oh! Is this the new host club member that I've heard of?" Renge suddenly appeared between Emiko and Haruhi, receiving a surprise look from them.
"Uhmm… It's nice to meet you Renge-san!" Emiko said while bowing her head slightly.
"I'm—"Emiko was about to introduce herself before Renge cut her off.
"Hirohata Mikuo. The recent transferee. A scholar student just like Haruhi-kun. And also…"
Renge scanned Emiko closely, starting from head to toe.
"So Kawaiiiii~ this adds to Moe factor in my records! You look like a girl; you'd probably look even cuter when wearing girls' clothes. Imagine! Haruhi-kun and Mikuo-kun together. MOE OVERLOAD! Kyaaa~" she exclaimed while having sparkles in her eyes.
The host club members laughed nervously.
"She's the self-proclaimed Host club manager." Hikaru and Kaoru both said.
"Self-proclaimed? How? " Emiko asked.
The twins shrugged their shoulders.
"Everyone, let's better get inside the bus now or it'll leave us." Haruhi pointed at the bright yellow school bus. Today, they will ride a plain school bus just like ordinary kids do.
Everyone stepped inside the bus while looking around as if amazed by it.
"Haruhi!" Tamaki waved his arms to get Haruhi's attention.
"What is it sempai?" Haruhi looked at the blonde-haired boy occupying the first seat in the row.
"This is amazing! This bus is so big! Look! I can see a tree from here! Come! Sit next to Otou-san."
Tamaki patted the empty space next to him. Haruhi rolled her eyes.
"No way sempai. The others are sitting in the back and I'm gonna sit next to Em- I mean Mikuo"
She crossed her arm then continued her pace towards the back leaving the teary-eyed Tamaki behind.
"Haruhi…" he sniffed.
"Suoh-kun, is this seat taken?"
Tamaki turned his head to the student wearing a long black cloak.
"Ne…Nekozawa?" Tamaki stiffened then shivered.
Nekozawa smiled then took the seat next to the scared Tamaki.
"Save me!" Tamaki cried, looking at the laughing host club members at the back.
"Poor Tamaki-san…" Emiko whispered then giggled.
"This is going to be long ride…" Haruhi sighed.
"Tokyo Tower . The tallest self-supporting steel tower in Japan. 333 m (1,093 ft) high and resembles the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Amazing!"
Emiko looked up at the tower in awe. Everyone was in groups and of course she was with Haruhi, Kaoru, Hikaru, Tamaki, Mori, Hunny and Kyouya. They were attracting a lot of tourist and some were even taking pictures with them. Sadly, Emiko didn't bring her camera. She wanted to take a lot of pictures with everyone.
"Mikuo-chan, let's go this way! It's much peaceful" Hunny grabbed her arm then dragged her to the other side of the tower. The rest of the host club followed.
True, the other side was peaceful and only a few people were there. They enjoyed the view and bought some snacks from nearby stores. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the moment and as if they were in a whole other world. They laughed, they ate and they took a lot of pictures using Tamaki's professional camera.
"Let's return to the bus now, it's getting late." Kyouya looked at his wristwatch and motioned the others to move.
They returned to the other side of the tower to found out that the bus just left them.
"Hey!" Hikaru, Kaoru and Tamaki tried to chase the bus but failed.
"So, what are we gonna do?" Haruhi questioned completely irritated.
"It's okay, we'll go home tomorrow. Let's find a hotel to stay in." Kyouya said, he was slightly irritated but didn't let it show.
"Let's go!" Tamaki lead the group much to the other's annoyance.
They found a hotel then they went inside the huge double doors. Inside, the lobby was elegant and spacious. Tamaki asked the lady behind the counter if there were any rooms available. Luckily, there was but only one.
"Uhmmm… Where are we going to sleep?" Emiko asked the boys since she and Haruhi were girls, and her dad will totally flip if he will know about this. IF.
"Don't worry. We won't do anything to you." Hikaru smirked. Then Kaoru moved in closer and matched the smirk on his brother's face.
"I will punish if any of you homosexuals do anything to my daughter!" Tamaki exclaimed then hugged Haruhi tightly.
"Sempai…let go" Haruhi broke free from Tamaki tight hug.
"Well, let's go. Since Tamaki already has the keys to our room." Kyouya moved towards Tamaki and snatched the keys in his hands.
"I'll be taking that."
They walked towards the elevator until a group of students passed them.
"Oh! Was that… Hirohata Emiko?" a female voice spoke.
Emiko slowly turned her head and faced the other group. She stiffened at the sight the red haired girl in front of her.
"Rea-san?" she asked while shaking slightly.
"Long time no see, Emiko" the girl smiled.
