Chapter 12-The Press Conference

Flashback

"Arigato, minna, and oyasumi!"

End of flashback

It was Monday morning, yet again. I was woken up by my personal alarm clocks, the damn chirping birds. Why are there even birds, anyways? And can't they find another time to chirp their annoying song, who no one listens to at 6:30 in the morning? I groaned and pulled my blanket over my head. Oh, just shut up, you damn birds! Just then, someone shook me. "Haruka…" A calm voice said. I opened my cocoon and turned to look at Nee-chan. "Yes?" I asked innocently. "You need to get up now." She replied, saying each word slowly. "NO! I DON'T WANT TO!" I pulled my blanket over my head again. Nee-chan sighed. "Okay, but today, we have curry for lunch…" I immediately sat up. "C-c-curry?!" It was my favorite lunch and dinner of all, besides American food. "I'll be ready in 5 minutes!" I yelled, and scrambled to prepare for yet another boring day. Or, so I thought.


Meanwhile, a young man with raven-hair and blue eyes hidden behind glasses was enjoying his breakfast in an extravagant mansion on a fine Monday morning. Just then, a man with a black suit and sunglasses burst in the dining room. "Young master!" The sunglasses man called. He bowed down in front of the young man. "What is it?" the young man replied, obviously annoyed that his breakfast mood was ruined. "I've got some information on the miss you wanted." The young man stood up. "Give me the files." Some files were handed to the young man. He chuckled and opened the files. In it were some information and a picture of a young girl in her teen years, red hair and brown eyes (sounds familiar?). The young man smiled and looked up at the sunglasses man. "Thank you. You may leave now." The young man waved his hand, indicating that the sunglasses man should leave. "Yes, young master." The sunglasses man nodded, bowed, and left. "Ah, Ruka-chan, we meet again…" The young man chuckled. He flipped through the files and found an article of a concert (refer back to chapter 12). "What's this?" The young man frowned. On the article, it said:

Host Band Successful!

Last Saturday, our very own Ouran High School's Host Club showed yet again their brilliance by performing a concert for the student body. The concert was very successful, as expected! The host club, or the "Host Band", performed two original songs, 'Baby! Be My Baby!', and 'Prisoner of Love', which starred a new songstress, Suzuka Haruno. As one of the members of the audience said, "the concert was awesome!" Another member of the audience stated, "The concert was the bomb, but I especially like Suzuka Haruno." Who was Suzuka Haruno, the audience asked? When an interview was requested to the Host Band, our favorite Ootori Kyouya said, "We will not be doing any interviews after the concert. However, we will be holding a press conference in the Third Music Room on Monday afternoon." What a statement!

On the article, there was a picture of the Host Band. But what really struck the young man was the picture of the blonde young woman. She had blonde hair and brown eyes, and she was laughing. But, why does she look so familiar? "Ah, so this is Ruka-chan's second look…" The young man murmured. Then, he looked back at the picture of the young girl with the red hair and brown eyes. He smirked, and his eyes twinkled with lust. "Ruka-chan…" He licked his lips. "I can't wait to see you again…"


(Ugh! What a pervert! Does he like to torment girls or what? Anyways, let's get back to the story, shall we? Haruka is currently in the Third Music Room with the other members, ok?)

"Wait, wait. A what?!" The shocking news rang across my mind. That Kyouya sighed and crossed his arms. "It's an interview, Fujioka. How many times d I have to say it?" How did this happen?

Flashback

Nee-chan and I headed to the Third Music Room after school. But, why am I going again? "Uh, Nee-chan, why am I going to the Music Room with you?" I asked angrily. I had better things to do. For example, I had finally saved enough money to buy a cell phone.

Nee-chan frowned. "I wouldn't know. Kyouya-senpai told me to bring you to the room with me." Both Nee-chan and I could tell something bad was coming….When we reached the Music Room, we immediately sat down. I was met by an annoying Lemone, but I quickly slapped him away before he could say anything. "So, what's the big idea?" I blurted out. "Why do I need to be here?" I asked. Everyone twitched. "You can leave…" Hidose started, but I glared at him. "Ney, imooto-chan, do you not want to be here?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked. "Of course I don't. I have things to do." I said bluntly. Tamaki-senpai fainted. He murmured something unintelligible. That Kyouya cleared his throat. "You are here, Fujioka, because all of the members of the 'Host Band' are having an interview." I stood up and smacked my hand on the tea table. "W-W-What? An interview?"

End of Flashback

I groaned. "Oh, great. And, I suppose you want me to dress up as Haruno today?" Everyone nodded especially Tamaki-senpai, Honey-senpai, and Lemone. "Oh, you are going to look like my imooto-chan again!" Tamaki-senpai swished his golden hair with his hands and looked at me. Lemone said, "Whatever you dress in, you are a princess, my love!" I sweat dropped. "Come, imooto-chan, let's go venture this world!" Tamaki-senpai looked very sparkly and offered an arm. "Uh, senpai…" Lemone said. "SHE'S MY PRINCESS! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?" Hidose said bluntly, "Baka Lemone. She's UGLY, remember?" Tamaki-senpai and Lemone glared at Hidose, and they had started arguing. Luckily, Nee-chan was there to calm them down, or else I would have burst with anger.

I sighed. "Fine. I'll do it. I'll wear that wig again." That Kyouya gave me the wig, and I put it over my head. Hikaru and Kaoru snickered, while Honey-senpai, Tamaki-senpai, and Lemone ogled at me. But, there was more, I guess. That Kyouya kept staring at me. "What?" I asked, incredibly vexed. "There's more." My veins popped out on my head. "What more?" I asked in a menacingly low tone. "You need to change. People don't know Haruno goes to this school, and we can't let them know because some girls might target Haruno." I nodded. New clothes could do. "Fine." I walked into the changing area (luckily, they had gotten a new door), where there were billions of outfits. My eyes sparkled in delight. "Ooh…" I WAS IN HEAVEN! Hikaru and Kaoru yelled, "We had mother bring in some designs." Some designs? This could fit a whole mall! Honey-senpai yelled, "Ney, Ney, imooto-chan, pick a cute pink one, okay?"


A few minutes later, I came out in a white dress, with long sleeves. The dress had a V-neck and a semi-collar, and it went down to my knees. I wore a pair of white laced, leather boots to match. I also got a white purse to match. Now all I need are angel wings. I chuckled. Honey-senpai came to me and hugged me. "Yay! Imooto-chan looks so cute!" I smiled and hugged Honey-senpai back. Gosh, he was like a little kid! I wanted to cuddle him, but I believed that it wasn't my job to, so I didn't. "Arigato, Honey-senpai." Meanwhile, Tamaki-senpai and Lemone looked at me with glittery eyes. I walked over to them, and said, "Stop staring, perverts." I sat down next to Nee-chan. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…But, before they could do or say anything, the door burst open, and the Ouran press club burst in. There were the sounds of camera shutters, the flashes, and rapid talking. "One at a time, one at a time, wonderful press." Tamaki-senpai said gallantly. Immediately, the press stopped, even though there were still flashes and the sound of camera shutters. "Ahem." One guy stepped in. "So, what inspired you to do the concert, Kyouya-senpai?" That Kyouya smiled an incredibly fake smile. "Well, I just thought we could entertain our princesses with our voices and such." Some girls who managed to sneak in shrieked. "Next question please." That Kyouya smiled. "Very well." Another guy stepped in. "This question is for Suzuka-san though." I raised my head. I looked at that Kyouya. He nodded his head in approval. "Ask away" I replied. "Is it true that you are a foreigner, and that you performed with the band because you have a relationship with one of the band members?" What? I shook my head. "Erm, yes, I am half-English and half-Japanese" I replied. "However, I do NOT have a relationship with one of the band members. I performed because I was asked to, as a guest appearance. Any other questions?" A third guy stepped in. "This question is for Suzuka-san too." I smiled. "Okay." "Are you single?" I was shocked at the question. It sounded like that guy was confessing to me! "Uh, yes, I am" I said, surprised. It may not have caught the other's eyes, but I saw some guys sighing in relief, but Hidose seemed to have twitched. "All right, I believe that time is up." That Kyouya piped in. "Thank you, members of the press, and we will be doing a fan signing as soon as our new CDs come out." Everyone (except for that Kyouya) was indeed shocked at the news, but the Host Club remained their smiles. The press took some more pictures, and they exited. "Whew, what a long day." I sighed. "But, Ootori, are we seriously going to do a fan signing?" That Kyouya smirked. "Well, with more publicity come more customers, no?" Scary and greedy magistrate…."But, I never knew that we had a CD. I mean, we just performed 2 songs so far…" Nee-chan said, "Well, but they are good songs." Everyone nodded.


Meanwhile, back at an exquisite mansion, a young man who was watching TV was now chuckling. The TV screen went blank. "Ah, Ruka-chan, so you're single, huh? But, you're not pure anymore…" The young man laughed maniacally.


Ugh, seriously, that Ryuu-kun pisses me off, even though he is my own character…Anyways, thank you for reading, readers, and PLEASE wait for the next update! I'm sorry this one was slow, but I'm finally done with this chapter! Look forward to the next one!
