In the Hitachiin masion, around six o'clock in the morning...
The Hitachiin brothers unexpectedly woke up before their alarm. It was Saturday and they basically had nothing much to do. With no particular reason, kaoru crawled under hikaru's sheets and lay down near him.
"Hikaru, what do you think of natsume-chan?" kaoru slowly whispered to hikaru's ear.
"She's annoying, an eyesore. Every time I see her, I wanted to play a prank on her. She's unpredictable. She says what she likes. She does what she wants. She's not cute at all." Hikaru said with full of irritation as his faced his sleepy twin.
They were staring at each for a while when kaoru suddenly spoke again.
"Then what about haruhi?" Kaoru smiled at him.
"Wh-wha-what? Why is haruhi suddenly included in this conversation?!" hikaru frantically said as he tried to cover his face with his pillow.
"Just answer my question hikaru."
Kaoru forcefully removed the pillow away from hikaru's face to see his embarrassed face. Kaoru often teased hikaru because he loves seeing different kinds of expression from the face of his twin.
"Uhhhmmm… should I even say it out loud? I like her of course, happy?" Hikaru suddenly flashed red.
Though kaoru pretty much expect this kind of reaction from him, it really never gets old. Hikaru's blushing face was the best sight kaoru could ever see. Oh, and so as his flustered face.
"Maybe." Kaoru said while looking towards his side as if he was avoiding eye contact.
"What about you kaoru? What do you think of haruhi?" Hikaru asked out of the blue.
"Should it really be haruhi first?" Kaoru thought. "Well, I like her too but not like how you like her."
"Then, how about that girl?" Hikaru said in a very serious face.
"That girl? She has a name you know?"
Kaoru pinched the cheek of hikaru.
"Fine. What do you think about 'that' natsume?" Hikaru pouted as he cupped his swollen cheek.
"I think I'm interested with her." Kaoru flashed a smile with some glittery effect on his eyes. He was serious about this. For some reason, he was slowly being to get interested about natsume.
"Are you serious?! If I were you, I'd better not be interested in her. She… she has a lot of secrets. I don't understand her very much. She's often jolly then she'll suddenly switch into a bad mood. She says foul words to her costumers then suddenly she'll comfort them. She's twisted, ok?! You better stay away from her." Hikaru grimaced as he warned his twin.
This became hikaru's view of natsume after they visited her from before. He was still a bit confused about the things she said to him that time, about herself, her powers and her mother…
"Pfffffffft!" Kaoru suddenly burst into laughter.
"What?! I'm serious here!" Hikaru tried to snap his twin out of his laughter.
"You make me want to know her even more hikaru but aside from that I'm more interested on how you can actually talk about her for too long. It's suspicious enough." Kaoru poked his twins face.
"Stop kidding with me kaoru!"
Hikaru was a little bit pissed off so he turned back to avoid kaoru's stares but kaoru kept poking him and they ended up tickling each other.
"Natsume… -chan, eh? I wonder who is this person who makes my boys loud so early in the morning?"
Yuzaha, hikaru and kaoru's mother, was peaking at them the whole time. She was very intrigued on why her boys would be up so early and worse they even have a lot of energy. She gradually became curious about natsume because she was the topic of the twin in the first place.
In Natsume's apartment.
She always woke up early since she has a part-time job. Well, she had to do it. She can't always rely on what her grandmother was sending her. She'd be too abusive. She then stretched her arms and yawn a little while covering her mouth.
"Time to go to work then."
She was locking up the door when she received a text message from haruhi. (This was something very rare.)
[Gudmorning natsu, what are you doing now? Are you free for today? Let's go around town if you like?]
She immediately replied to her. Unfortunately, due to working schedule she can't accompany her dear sister. It was really disappointing but she can't really do anything about it.
[Sorry haru I have work to do. Well, here I go.]
Natsume sighed as she left her apartment building. Natsume first roamed around town. She had more time before going to her part-time job. Now, she regret turning down haruhi's offer.
"This place sure is big."
While regretting everything, natsume continued walking as if she was a walking corpse. Because of this she suddenly bumped into someone and that certain someone fell on her knees. The weird thing was that their collision wasn't really strong. Perhaps the person she bumped was really weak.
"Sorry. I was dozing off." Natsume reached out her hand to help the woman who fell down.
"Don't worry about it. I'm fine." The woman grabbed natsume's hand and slowly stood up.
"Do you need help on something?"
Natsume felt guilty that the woman fell on her knees because of her. It also seemed like that woman was really in a hurry. Nastume wanted to at least help her out or something along the lines.
"Well, I'm really in need of someone and…" The woman suddenly stopped talking and started to inspect natsume from head to toe. "You seemed to be the right girl for it.."
"Excuse me. I don't quite understand where this is going into."
"Just follow me, ok?"
Natsume was suddenly dragged by the strange woman.
In Haruhi's apartment…
Haruhi was lonely that her invitation to natsume was turned down. She was fair gloomy as of the moment when she suddenly received a call. It was from tamaki.
"Hello-" her words were cut off by the overly excited voice of tamaki.
"Haruhi! I'm in front of your house right now!"
Haruhi jumped out of her seat and quickly opened the door. There she saw tamaki and his freakishly big idiotic smile.
"Ehh? Senpai, why are you here?"
"I actually came to visit natsume-chan since I wasn't able to come last time when she was sick." Tamaki said as he was all hyped up.
"Unfortunately, natsu isn't around plus she lives in another apartment."
Haruhi was still depressed, making her manner of talking with tamaki colder than before.
"Ehh?! Why?"
"Some reasons…"
"Then what should I do now?"
Tamaki suddenly pouted and squatted down on his knees. He was supposed to act cool while visiting the twins. However, his plan back fired the moment he knew that natsume wasn't around and worse she doesn't really live there. Haruhi sighed.
"Senpai, do you want to come strolling with me? I originally plan to do so with natsu but since she had something to do, I don't have anyone to accompany me. Would like to scome with me?"
Haruhi suddenly smiled at him. After seeing this tamaki immediately revived from his current position as if nothing bad has occurred.
"Ok!" Tamaki exclaimed. "Wait! Is this a DATE?!"
"Senpai, this is not a date."
"Mind reader!"
"I'm not a mind reader either."
"Heh… Is that so?" Tamaki sweat-dropped. "I really thought she could read my mind but I don't expect less from my daughter."
"I'm not your daughter."
"Eh?!"
"Shall we go?"
In the place where natsume was brought to…
"Uhhhmmm… what am I suppose to do?"
"I'm terribly sorry for dragging you here. First of all, I'm Yuzuha, Hitachiin Yuzuha. We're kinda short of models right now so can you help us?"
"I've been dragged here already anyway. I think it's fine." Natsume thought. "It's ok. My shift is still three hours from now so I can manage. I think?"
"Yay! I was right to pick you. You're really a life saver!"
"Wait didn't she just say Hitachiin?"
"Pick me? Didn't we bump on each other by accident?"
The woman left me without answering natsume's lingering question. She pushed her towards the photographer who has been waiting for a long time. He seemed so pissed off being out of schedule. Then the photo shoot started. Natsume had no idea what she was doing or merely why the heck was she there in the first place. She just followed what the photographer was saying and acted a little bit on her own. She really can't refuse requests. That's one disadvantage for her. A simple no was enough but when someone actually acted like a lost animal and asks her a favor, whether she likes it or not, she still can't refuse.
"Hey, who's that model? She's very suited to any clothes she wears. It's as if she embodied the clothing itself."
"I wonder which company she works with."
"She's really beautiful."
Finally, the shoot ended. It took around two hours.
"Arigatou (Thank you)! You're really a great help. By the way, what's your name?"
"Fujioka, Fujioka Natsume."
"Fujioka? Could you be a relative of Fujioka Haruhi?"
"I'm her twin sister. How do you know her ma'am?"
"That's why you resemble her, aside from the long hair of course. She's a classmate of my sons."
"Wait. Yuzuha… Hitachiin… Hitachiin…Hitachiin… could she possibly be?"
"Are you studying in Ouran as well?"
"Ha? Yes."
"Do you know hikaru and kaoru Hitachiin?"
"OMIGAD! It can't be! This nice person is their mom? Where the heck do they get their annoying genes from?! This person is definitely nice not like them. Could it be from their father? Wait. I really can't believe this! Why? Why?!"
Natsume was in state of shock.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me… hehe…"
In the streets of Tokyo…
"Haruhi, do you know where you're sister is?" Tamaki suddenly asked to break the silence.
"Not really. She doesn't always tell me where she goes." Haruhi bluntly said. "That's because I can already tell just by listening to her voice."
"Is that so…" Tamaki became silent once more.
"Senpai, let's go to this store."
Haruhi suddenly gripped on his sleeve and pulled him towards a store.
"Ok. Wait up."
While in the store, haruhi was lining up clothes on tamaki. As if she's checking if it fits him. Tamaki became a little nervous.
"Haruhi, why are you-?"
"Hold still for a moment."
"Could it be that haruhi is planning on buying clothes for me?! I'm so touch." Tamaki thought with full of glee.
"Senpai, what do you think looks better?"
"Anything you pick is good."
"Well, I'm not sure if otou-san(father) would like it though."
"Otou-san? Could she be acknowledging me as her father already? This makes me happier!"
"Senpai, are you ok?"
"Yeah. I'm totally fine."
"You weren't listening to me, are you? I said what do you think my father would like this one or this one?"
"My father… wait… does this means it's for ranka-san." Tamaki paused for a moment. "Haruhi, that present… it's for ranka-san?"
"Yes. My father's birthday is coming soon so I wanted to buy him something that he can use."
With just one sentence tamaki's inner mind fantasies have been crushed into ruins.
"When I finally thought that haruhi acknowledged me as her father, my dream shattered in just a second."
"uhhhhmmm… tamaki-senpai…"
"What is it?" Tamaki said with lack of interest since his dream was shattered a moment ago.
"I'll treat you in exchange of coming with me today, ok? But don't expect much."
Once again with just merely a sentence, the idiotic prince has been revived.
"Haruhi!"
Tamki suddenly glomped haruhi out of the blue.
"Kyahhhh! Don't suddenly hug me in public senpai!"
"Sorry. I just can't help myself."
The two started looking for a place to eat. They searched for a while a finally they were able to find a place they wanted to dine in.
"Let's eat here." Haruhi suggested.
Tamaki immediately agreed and they entered the place together.
"Welcome ma…ssstttteeeerrrrrr?!"
"Natsu?!"
"Natsume-chan?!"
"Haru?! Suoh-san?!"
