Chapter Ten: Trips & Phone Calls

.

That Monday Yumi walked into school wearing the girls uniform, only it was dyed black, the sleeves and collar were cut off, making it seem like a sleeveless dress, but under it was a red fishnet tank top and she had removed half of the puff in the skirt, but not all of it. She was wearing the same boots she wore the first day she met Haruhi, and her hair was tied in a loose low braid with half of her hair hanging around her face. She had on at least three belts around her waist all black with a red splatter designs on all three and she was wearing over ten silver bangles on each wrist.

She was holding a plate with a round cake on it and clear covering over it. The cake had vanilla icing and sliced strawberries around the top. "This looks so good! I can't wait to get a piece after the club!" Yumi said happily as her and Haruhi walked into class.

"Make sure Hunny-Sempai doesn't see. He might want to have it at lunch instead of waiting until after school," Haruhi told her. Yumi laughed and placed the cake on her desk.

Haruhi took her seat in front of her. Yumi glanced at the two seats on either side of Haruhi, "Where are Tweedledee and Tweedledum?! I need to talk to Tweedledum!" Yumi whined.

Haruhi shrugged, "They're probably running late." she told her. Yumi nodded and started to tap her foot. She stared at the window until the bell rang.

"De Luca?" the teacher called. Yumi blinked and looked at the teacher. "Oh, here!" she called. She looked in front of her while the teacher called out the rest of the names and saw Hikaru and Kaoru had already gotten there.

Dammit! I needed to talk to Kaoru! I forgot to tell him yesterday about Haruhi's feelings! Yumi thought grimly. She placed her chin in the palm of her hand and stared out the window the rest of class.

"Yumi?"

Yumi looked up and saw Haruhi, "Going to lunch?" she asked. Yumi nodded and pulled out a small black wallet with a polar bear on it, "Yeah, I brought money today for lunch," she stood up with Haruhi and noticed her bento, "You normally eat in here. What's the occasion you're going to the cafeteria?"

Haruhi shrugged, "Just feel like it, I guess."

Yumi nodded, "You think you can save me a seat while I'm on line?" she asked. Haruhi nodded. "Great! So, do you know if the cafeteria food here is any good? Last week I never bought lunch so I have no idea,"

Haruhi chuckled, "This school's food is nothing like a normal public school's food,"

Yumi stared at her, "Really? Hmm, I can't wait to try it then!" the two girls finally made it to the cafeteria. Haruhi walked over to one of the tables (the one Tamaki was waving her over to) and Yumi made her way to the lunch line.

"Hikaru! Kaoru!" Yumi called, running up to the twins. Luckily, they were, so far, the last in line so Yumi didn't have to cut in front of anyone to stand next to them.

"We thought you would stay in the class with Haruhi today," Hikaru told her. Yumi shrugged, "Haruhi wanted to come down here and I got some money out of my bank account last night after dinner so I have lunch money today." she explained.

The twins nodded. When Hikaru turned to face the line, Yumi quickly pulled Kaoru's arm and pulled him down some so she could whisper in his ear, "It's a go! Haruhi's got feelings for Hikaru!" she said happily in a whisper.

Kaoru stared at her, "Really?" he whispered back. Yumi nodded with a smile, "Yeah! It's a complete go! I've been trying to think of a first plan! When I get an idea, I'll let you know!" she told him.

Kaoru nodded.

"Guys! Come on!" Hikaru called. Kaoru and Yumi both looked at him and saw their was a very noticeable distance between the two. They quickly walked up to Hikaru.

"What were you doing?" Hikaru asked. "I was telling Kaoru his fly was down," Yumi said nonchalantly.

"What?!" Kaoru asked looking down at his pants. Yumi and Hikaru let out a laugh. Kaoru sent Yumi a glare.

"So, what's for lunch today, boys?!" she asked happily, grabbing one of the trays. "Look at the menu and you'll know," the said simultaneously.

As Yumi got closer, she saw a menu on a small window. She studied it and finally found what she wanted.

"Can I have, um, A Lunch and a slice of triple chocolate fudge cake?" she asked sweetly. The cook nodded and handed her a tray and then placed a small plate of chocolate cake on the tray.

"Triple chocolate fudge?" Kaoru asked with a smirk. Yumi nodded, "I only eat it when my grandma makes it, but she hasn't made it in a while so I haven't had any and I need some good cake in me! I'm dying!" she said dramatically.

The three of them made their way to the table and Yumi took a seat next to Haruhi, while Hikaru and Kaoru sat on the other side of the table, across from Haruhi and Yumi.

"What do you have for lunch, Haruhi?" Hikaru asked, leaning back in his chair. "Leftovers from last night's dinner and a rice ball." she said.

Yumi took a bite of her lunch, a plate of spaghetti and cut bread, and then glanced around the room.

"Really nice cafeteria," she mumbled. "What do you expect? It's Ouran," Haruhi told her simply.

Yumi chuckled and started to twirl her pasta.

"Yumi-Chan! Yumi-Chan!" Hunny called, looking over at her from his seat. Yumi glanced up at him as she took a bite of her lunch. "Y-Yeah?" she asked, swallowing down the spaghetti.

"Did you make the cake?! Is it here?!" He asked happily. Yumi grinned, "Yeah, Haruhi helped me bake the cake! You'll get to eat it after the club today!" she explained to him.

Hunny smiled, "Yay! I can't wait!"

"Oh, so Haruhi baked with you, eh?" Hikaru asked. Yumi nodded.

"Oh, this is great! Both of you made a cake just for me-!"

"-Not just for you, Tamaki," Yumi grumbled.

"-I can't wait to try it!" he said happily, ignoring what Yumi said.

Yumi sighed and started to finish up her lunch quickly.

"Eating rather fast, huh?" Hikaru asked. Yumi nodded, "I wanna get back to class! I left the cake there!" she told them, taking the last bite of her cake.

She sigh, "Damn, I couldn't enjoy that cake," she mumbled. She shook off the thought and grabbed her tray.

"You can leave it there. After lunch the cleaning people just come around and pick it up for you," Kaoru said boredly. Yumi nodded and proceeded to leave the room.

Haruhi also stood up. "Where are you going Haruhi?" Tamaki asked her.

"I'm done with my lunch so I'm gonna head back to class with Yumi," she said nonchalantly. "See you guys at the club," she waved as she pushed in her chair and followed Yumi out.

Yumi turned around and saw Haruhi walk up to her, "Hey!" she said happily. Haruhi nodded. The two walked into their class and Yumi smiled when she saw the cake was unharmed.

"Why were you so worried?" Haruhi asked. Yumi shrugged, "Someone could take the cake and eat it! I didn't want that to happen," she told her, sitting at her desk.

Yumi glanced around the room and saw a few students were sitting at the seats, talking and finishing up their homemade lunches.

"Damn, this is boring," she mumbled. "What is?" Haruhi asked, turning in her seat. "This! The school! Everything is so boring right now." she groaned.

She closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Her eyes snapped open and she quickly stood up and bent down next to Haruhi's desk, resting her arms and chin on the edge of her desk, "Let's play hooky tomorrow!" she whispered.

"What?!" Haruhi asked. "Yeah! Let's go to the beach! The beach is fun! We can swim, play beach volleyball, collect seashells, everything! And it'll be just you and me-!" Plus Hikaru and Kaoru once I tell him, "-And we'll have a blast!" she explained happily.

"I don't really know, Yumi," Haruhi started.

Yumi sighed, "Come on! I'm sure honor students like you play hooky once! Just call in sick or something and we'll hunt down a beach or something! It'll be fun!"

Haruhi gave her a look, "It's the last month of school. Missing one day could cause you to be really far behind,"

Yumi sighed, "You're so no fun. How about we go Saturday? That way we'll only miss one day, and then we have Sunday and we'll make it up on Monday? Please, please, please?!" Yumi begged.

Haruhi sighed and continued to protest and Yumi continued to beg.

Meanwhile, outside of the classroom, Hikaru and Kaoru were making their way back to class when they heard a little gossip.

"She's already around them so much! And she's got the boys in class eating out of her hand! Now she's going after Haruhi!" one girl whispered.

"She's trying to turn sweet, innocent Haruhi into a bad boy who cuts school! She's terrible!" another said.

"What are they talking about?" Hikaru mumbled, eyebrow raised. Kaoru shrugged. They walked into class and saw Yumi's head resting on Haruhi's desk, and her begging for something.

"What are you up to now, Yumikins?" Hikaru asked, leaning one hand on Haruhi's desk. "I want Haruhi to play hooky with me! And don't call me 'Yumikins'!" she snapped.

"Hooky? Where?" Kaoru asked, standing behind Yumi, leaning on his own desk. "To the beach, of course! I watched the weather and it said it was going to be nice all week! Going to the beach and having fun is better then staying here at this boring place and learning," she explained.

"Hmm, the beach does sound like a good idea," Hikaru started. "But no host club! Worry free!" Yumi said standing up and walking over to Hikaru,

"That way Haruhi can wear a girl's swimsuit and doesn't have to worry about people finding out!" she whispered to him.

Hikaru's mouth made an 'O' and he nodded. "If you want to get away with playing Hooky then we have to run it by Kyoya, and then he'll turn it into business, so there is no way their won't be girls there," Kaoru explained.

Yumi sighed, "That's no fun," she mumbled. She thought for a moment, and then snapped her fingers, "Oh! How about one day is a day we entertain the hosts then the other day is a day to ourselves?" she asked.

"That's a good idea," Haruhi told her. "Yeah! It'll be Saturday and then Saturday night the girls and guys will go and we'll have the beach to ourselves!" The rest of the hosts will end up being there, but I'm sure Kaoru and I will be able to get Hikaru and Haruhi alone at some point that weekend! She thought happily.

"First run it by Kyoya and you'll probably get your wish to go to the beach," Hikaru told her, taking his seat.

Yumi smiled and nodded her head as she stood up and walked over to her seat. Her bag started to vibrate and the three eyed it curiously.

Yumi grinned and pulled out her phone, "Hehe, one sec," she told them before flipping her phone open and speaking into it.

"Hello?" she asked.

"What's up, brat?" a male Italian voice asked happily from the other line. Yumi's lips curved into a bright grin and started to speak back to him in Italian, "Oh, you know," she said happily, taking a seat in her desk.

"Granny told me you're in a club," he said back. Yumi nodded, "Yeah, the host club. I'm the first female member,"

"Host club? Do you really think that's a good idea, Yumi?" he asked her. Yumi's smile faded then she glanced at Haruhi, "Anything for a friend!" she said happily after a moment.

"Yeah well, the twin runts can't take it so we're flying out tonight and we'll be there tomorrow," he told her boredly.

"Really? Tomorrow?" she asked. "Yeah! Tala and Tino just lost," the boy paused, "You know," he mumbled sadly.

"Anyways, now you're gone and they miss you and wanna see you so Granny and Poppy are closing the main shop and we're all flying down to see you for the week!" he explained happily.

"All week? As in Saturday too?" She asked sadly. The boy chuckled, "No. Granny and Poppy can't afford to close it down for that long. We'll be there tomorrow the next day and then half of the day after. So, I guess we'll be there half of the week," he explained sheepishly.

Yumi nodded, "When you get here tomorrow, come to school and text me before you show up, got it?" she asked.

"Why?" the boy asked curiously.

Yumi grinned, "Because it's gonna be funny, trust me!" she told him firmly. The boy laughed, "Gosh, you're insane Yumi. But that's why we love you!"

Yumi nodded, "Well, I'll talk to you soon. Give everyone a kiss for me!"

"Alright, bye Yumi, see you tomorrow,"

Yumi nodded, "Alright. Good bye Eddy," she said into the phone, before flipping it closed.

She looked at her three friends in front of her, all of them looking confused.

"Haha, I'm glad you're learning English and not Italian! Otherwise I'd never get a private conversation!"

"Who was that?" Hikaru asked her, raising an eyebrow. Yumi placed her phone in her bag, "My big brother, Eddy!" she said happily.

"BROTHER?!" Hikaru and Kaoru asked in unison and shock.

Yumi laughed, "Not real brother! He's been in my family for like five years!"

"Then how can you consider him your brother?" Hikaru asked her. Yumi shrugged, "He comes from this really important family and they had plans for him to take over the family business and everything but he didn't want to. They disowned him and he was left on the streets! I found him one day outside of my school and took him home so he could get cleaned up, and he never left!" she explained.

"Really?" Kaoru asked. Yumi nodded, "My parents were so touched by his sad story they let him leave in the garage apartment and work at the main bakery, the one only family works at! And he's always been like a big brother to me! Heck, Tala and Tino call him brother since he's been there since they were born and before then!" she explained.

"You guys must be close then," Haruhi smiled. Yumi nodded, "My parents never really adopted him or nothing, but he was always treated like a brother to me, son to my parents, and grandchild to my grandparents. He even calls my grandparents Granny and Poppy! He's really close with us," she said happily, letting out a sigh.

The bell rang and the teacher made her way into the class and began the lesson.

.

After the Host Club

.

Yumi placed the cake down on one of the tables and Hunny was already sitting in the chair in front of it, a plate in front of him and a fort in his hand and his eyes sparkling.

Yumi chuckled as she cut a big piece of the cake and placed it on Hunny's plate. "By the way, Kyoya, I was wondering if the host club could go on a little trip Saturday." Yumi asked him happily, cutting a piece of cake and handing it to Kyoya.

He stared at her for a moment while taking the cake, light flashing off his glasses, "Really? Where to?" he asked her.

Yumi smiled, "The beach! I was thinking about us playing Hooky Saturday and going to a beach Saturday and Sunday!" she explained.

Kaoru and Hikaru sent her a look from the other side of the table. Yumi sighed and crossed her arms, "Fine! If you don't want us to have a work-free day, then how about Saturday after school we go to a beach and host, then Sunday we have the beach to ourselves?" she asked grumpily.

Kyoya thought for a moment, "I like the first idea," he said after a moment.

Yumi stared at him, wide eyes, "Wow! Kyoya Ootori putting something that doesn't make him money into consideration?! Awesome!" she said happily.

He nodded, "We have made more money then normal since you started last week so missing one day wouldn't really put a dent into the profits." he explained casually.

"Yay! So Haruhi and I will play hooky Saturday! Thanks Kyoya!" Yumi cheered happily.

"I thought you said 'the host club'?!" Hikaru and Kaoru protested. Yumi sent Kaoru a look that read shut-your-mouth!-Duh-you-two-are-going!

Kaoru stopped protesting; imminently understanding Yumi's stare, but Hikaru was locked in a glaring contest with Yumi about her bluffing.

"I originally thought me and Haruhi, alone! I have every right after getting permission to say only me and Haruhi can go!" Yumi argued with him.

"Not only are you keeping us out, you got everyone's hopes up and you crashed them down!" Hikaru shot back. He looked around the room, "Take Hunny for example!" he quickly said, walking up behind Hunny's chair.

Hunny, who was too wrapped up in his cake to listen to the current conversation to notice, looked up at Hikaru.

"Huh?" he asked. Hikaru thought for a quick second, "See?! Hunny is so depressed he's blocked it out of his memory!" he shot at Yumi.

Yumi huffed, "You've gotta be kidding me!"

"If we all can't go then you can't go. How about that?" Kyoya asked, pushing the rim of his glasses up his nose.

Yumi's shoulders fell and glared at Kyoya. "Dammit! Fine! You can all come!" she finally shouted.

Hikaru grinned. Tamaki started blabbering on to Haruhi about how excited he was to spend time at the beach, for the first time with two daughters, Hikaru and Kaoru locked their hands together and started jumping around happily cheering, Hunny continued with his cake with Mori sitting beside him and Kyoya started to write stuff down in his book.

Damn, this is not going according to my plan at all . . . Yumi thought sadly.

She sighed and took a seat at the table, next to Haruhi and across from Hunny, and she glanced around the room once more. On the other hand, maybe seeing Eddy, Tala, Tino, Grandma and Grandpa tomorrow will lighten my mood.

She turned around in her seat and looked at the twins. A giant grin grew on her face, and I get to show those two what it looks like to see two close siblings having a "twincest" act up close and in person!

Yumi tried her best to hide her laugh, and started to cut the rest of the cake for her and the others.
