Chapter Ten: The Debtor

Yuki's POV

"Another school year, another end to first day of school." Sumi said as the two of us walked to the club room, "Ya know this school stuff wouldn't be so bad if there was no school involved."

Sumi had gotten accustomed to talking and acting like herself whenever it was just the two of us, not that I mind. It was just something that I noticed.

"That's the reason why we're here, Sumi!" I laughed.

"Hey, that's senpai to you!" She joked.

"Uh-huh, tell me that me that next year when we're in the same grade because you've failed math."

She looked at me sheepishly, "Yeah, I need a tutor."

"Yeah, don't look at me; trigonometry is as far as I go and I'm already gonna go get help from Kyo for that." I told her, "Go talk to Hunny-senpai. He's amazing at math."

"How would I do that without explaining who I am?"

"Not a clue." I replied as I reached the doors. I opened the door and rose petals came flying at us.

When they stopped, Sumi and I looked at each other with the same expression 'what the hell'. We looked to them; they all looked a little sheepish.

"Trying something new, I see." I said as brushed the petals off of me, "You might want to try a little less wind and petals next time for the customers, so it kinda doesn't seem like the flowers are attacking them."

"You felt like you were being attacked by the petals?" Tamaki asked a little bit, okay very, dramatically.

'Opps… Might have wanted to rephrase that…' I thought.

"I liked the flowers, Tamaki." Sumi spoke up. Like a flip of coin, his mood went from depressed to ecstatic.

"Really?" He asked excitedly, holding her hands in his.

"Tamaki, hands." Sumi told him. I looked from them to Takashi-senpai. His face was as stoic as ever, but if you looked at his eyes, you could tell he wasn't exactly thrilled about the hand holding. That quickly went away when Tamaki moved his hands from hers.

I made my way over to Kyoya, shaking my head. I didn't understand Takashi and Sumi. Did they like each other? Yeah. Did they do anything about it? No. I got why Sumi wouldn't try anything, but Takashi, not really. We had all placed bets on when it would happen. The twins started it, doesn't mean I couldn't make a little money off of it. At this point, Tamaki's lost the bet and was so far off by almost a year. The twins lost it too, they had guessed something would happen over the summer. Nothing did.

"Looks like we won." I told Kyoya. The others were busy and weren't listening to us. The twins and Tamaki were talking to each other. Sumi and Hunny were talking, Takashi was paying attention to them.

"Not yet." He replied, "We have the best chance of winning, I suppose, but we have not won yet."

"The others are out of the pot it's just us left." I pointed out.

"Yes and we would have our money right now if you hadn't put in the 'if they don't get together outside of the marriage' addendum in there."

"Hey, you were all for that when I made it and you know it." I reminded him, "Plus we would have been screwed out of our money if one of them had won." I looked at him. He raised an eyebrow at me. "Yes, I know how stupid that last sentence sounded." I answered his silent question. It was obvious knowing Sumi and Takashi, both Tamaki and the twins would have been wrong with guessing something so soon.

After a few moments, Kyoya spoke up, "Yuki, I-"

The club doors started to open.

"Never mind." He told me, before following the others guys to assume their positions. Sumi and I went to the back where the petals were. Sumi worked the fan, so it was more of a quiet gentle breeze than a huge gust of wind. I worked with the petals so it was more like cherry blossoms falling at a festival, than being attacked by a tornado of rose petals.

"Welcome." The boys said in sync.

After the doors shut we stopped with the petals at went over the boys to get our assignments, but saw our unusual customer and stopped ourselves to watch the scene play before us.

"This is a host club?" The customer asked. By the way they were dressed from the spot I was in I couldn't tell if they were a boy or a girl.

"Wow, it's a boy." The twins said surprised.

"That's a boy?" Sumi whispered to me.

"I don't know." I whispered back, "You're guess is as good as mine."

"Hikaru, Kaoru. This boy is in the same class as you, is he not?"

"Yeah, but he's shy, he's doesn't act very sociably so we don't know much about him." They replied.

"Girl." Sumi and I stated at the same time, quite enough so the others couldn't hear us.

"Well, that wasn't very polite." Kyoya told them, and said to the girl, "Welcome to the Ouran Host Club, Mr. Honor Student."

"What?" Tamaki asked coming closer to her, "You must be Haruhi Fujioka. You're the exceptional honor student we've heard about."

"How do you know my name?" Haruhi asked them.

"Why, you're infamous. It's not every day a commoner gets into our academy." Kyoya told her, "You must have an audacious nerve to work hard enough to fight your way into our honor students list, Mr., Fujioka."

Sumi and I looked at each other, and suppressed a laugh. Not about Haruhi, but more about ourselves and our situations. We were both basically commoners, with Sumi only living the life of luxury by pretending to be someone else, and me, being here living kind of luxuriously for a limited amount of time at certain costs. So, it may not have been every day that commoner had appeared here, but Haruhi was not the first, although, she may have been the first out of the three of us to actually deserve it.

When we looked back, Tamaki had put his hand on her shoulder, "You're a hero to other poor people, Fujioka. You've shown the world that a poor person can excel at an elite private academy."

"Should I take offense to that?" I asked Sumi.

"I don't know." Sumi replied, "I'm still working on how working hard at school makes you a hero."

"We really need to get you another tutor and find you something you can passionate about that involves some amount of school work."

"Long live the poor!" Tamaki exclaimed, "We welcome you poor man to our world of beauty!"

"What the-" Sumi started. I laughed.

Haruhi started to leave. Hunny pulled him back, "Hey, come back here Haru-chan! You must be like a superhero or something! That's so cool!"

"I'm not a hero, I'm an honor student." Haruhi told him blatantly, and then yelled, "And who are you calling Haru-chan?!"

Sumi moved to go over to Takashi who was giving Hunny his Bun-Bun. I continued to watch my brother interact with the honor student, asking her what type she was into and pointing out the different types.

"Or maybe, you're more into a guy like me." He said caressing her face, "What do you say?"

She jumped back in surprise and knocked over the vase we were going to use in the auction.

"Ah, we were going to use that renaissance vase in an upcoming school auction." Hikaru told her.

"Oh now you've done it commoner, the bidding on that vase was supposed to start at eight million yen." Kaoru told her.

"What?!" Haruhi exclaimed, "8,000,000 yen?!" And then started talking to herself, trying to calculate it.

"If it helps, 1000 thousands are in a million, and 8000 thousands are in 8 million." I told her, save her some of the mental math. I felt bad for the poor girl; I meant that figuratively, I was in no position to call anyone poor, anyway who knows how these guys, as sweet as they are, would make her pay that back. We were going to fund a lot of stuff using the money from that vase.

"I'm gonna have to pay you back." She told us.

"With what money?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked her, "You can't even afford a school uniform."

"What's with that crummy outfit you've got on anyway?" Kaoru asked her.

"Well what do you think we should do, Tamaki?" Kyoya asked picking up a shard of the vase.

"There's a famous saying you may have heard Fujioka: When in Rome, you should do as the Romans do."

"I don't think that's how you're supposed to use that phrase, Tamaki." I told him. This situation and the phrase being used that way didn't exactly click for me.

"Since you have no money, you can pay with your body." Tamaki continued, "That means starting today, you're the Host Club's dog."

"Does that mean I'm out of a job?" Sumi asked me as I came over to them.

"No, I think it means you have less to do." I replied as Haruhi fainted.
