Chap. 10

"You're kidding right?" I asked, not believing what the teenage boy had said.

Auntie shoook her head. "Why?" I asked.

"Well, Daisuke's parents are great business partners with us, and-"

"What? You're arranging a marriage for me because of your business needs?" I cut her off.

Aiko gave me a worried look but remained quiet. Aunt sighed before continuing quietly. "We'll be gone for some time. Daisuke is a good boy. Just for now, get to know him."

I heaved a sigh and ran my fingers through my messy hair. I bowed down respectfully to Daisuke before storming up the steps.

I slammed the door shut, jumped on my bed and buried my face in my pillow. I heard the door creak open and I felt the bed shift. I turned my face and saw Aiko with a concern look. I gave a reassuring smile.

"Daisuke isn't bad, he's kinda cute too!" Aiko said trying to cheer me up.

I rolled my eyes. "I just- Ughhh. I don't wanna get married!" I said kicking my feet.

'I miss mom and dad. Aunt and Uncle are becoming more and more... I don't know...' I thought.

The next day I couldn't really focus in any of the classes. I was told that Daisuke would be going to the same school too. Somehow, the word about the marriage spread, but thankfully the rumors were that I was marrying to a girl, so my true gender wasn't revealed. So, now, wherever I go, people would whisper about me. Not to mention my customers coming up to me with tears in their eyes.

It was after school, which means I have to entertain the ladies at the Host Club. As soon as I stepped in, Tamaki lunged at me clinging onto me like I was his life.

"I CAN'T LET MY DAUGHTER MARRY TO SOME BOY I'M NOT AWARE OF! MOST IMPORTANTLY, MARRY AT THIS AGE?" Tamaki shouted, tears flowing down his cheeks.

I shoved the King of Idiots off me and looked around. "Where is everybody?" I asked, meaning the customers.

"Tamaki closed the club today as soon as he found out that you were going to get married." Haruhi said.

I sighed, this is starting to really piss me off. Everytime I hear the word marriage, I cringe.

"So you guys heard about the rumors?" I asked. "No, Kyouya told us by stalking you on his laptop." Koaru explained.

"Oh yeah, the challenge thingy, whatever you call it is off." I said facing towards the Hitachiin twins.

"Why?" They asked in unison. "I have to get this stupid arranged marriage settled," I said, running my fingers through my black hair.

"Ri-chan, are you really going to get married?" Hunny said, coming up to me.

I sighed not knowing what to give my answer as.

"Rin?"

Our heads turned towards the voice, and there, standing on the doorway was Daisuke himself.

"I'm here to pick you up." He smiled. Daisuke was tall, he had black hair, and midnight blue eyes. He was pretty built and he had a cool, yet gentleman-y aura around him. Like was Aiko said, he was pretty cute.

I couldn't help but noticed that both the twins and Daisuke were sending cold glares at eachother. "Let's go, Rin." Daisuke said smiling a bit.

I nodded a bit and bowed to the hosts. "Ja ne." I greeted goodbye before leaving with Daisuke.

Hikaru's Pov:

I clenched my jaw when I saw Rin's 'fiance' entered the Host Club's room. I was boiling up inside for some reason and I had this hatred towards the guy. I mean, he wasn't that good looking, he didn't look that cool, and his smile towards Rin looked fake. I glanced at Kaoru who was beside me and he held an annoyed look on his face. I could tell that he didn't like this guy either.

Mr. 'Cool' looked at me and gave a slight smirk, but no one other than me and Kaoru noticed. We shot him cold glares, which he sent back.

"Let's go, Rin" Mr. Cool said, smiling at Rin. She nodded and said bowed. "Ja ne." She said before leaving with the guy.

"Tanaka Daisuke, age 17, January 17, blood type AB, height 5'11, His family is huge with their fashion business and they are joining forces with the Hayashi's to expand their company and will be opening up a new fashion business line." Kyouta read from his laptop.

"So... Rin's getting married because of some kind of fashion company business thing?" Haruhi asked.

"Hai, that's basically it." Kyouya nodded, pushing up his glasses.

"We're going home now. Kaoru?" I said walking towards the door.

Kaoru nodded and followed after me. "Ja." We both said.

When we got home we both went straight up to our rooms. I was lying in bed with Rin and that Daisuke guy running though my mind.

"Hikaru?" I heard Kaoru ask.

"Hm?"I turned my head towards my younger brother.

Kaoru was silent for a few seconds before he asked. "Do you like Rin?"

I was shocked by the question and my heart was beating quickly when he asked that. I thought for a while, before I came to the conclusion of my answer.

... "Yeah..."

I looked at Kaoru who had a unreadable expression, he looked up at the ceiling and sighed before saying.

"I like her too.."
