You guys know by now that I don't own Ouran, just Ringo, her family, and Sara :P
The next day when Ringo went to school girls kept giving her cold glares and boy wouldn't look at her at all. Noone would talk to her except for the twins and Haruhi. Renge sat with her at lunch, but wouldn't talk to her. Ringo had no clue why until she went to the host club that afternoon.
She was sitting with Tamaki today, who wasn't speaking to her very much either, seeing as it made the other girls very unhappy. In fact Ringo never would've known why everyone was mad at her if she hadn't have over heard a couple of girls talking about her with Haruhi.
"I don't even know why she's sitting with Tamaki." said one girl.
"Why wouldn't she, it's her choice of who she sits with isn't it?" Haruhi asked.
"Yeah, but, she's dating Hikaru isn't she?" Said another.
"There was a report about them arguing as a couple a few days ago, and then this morning there was a huge news report about them kissing!" said the first girl.
"And now she has the audacity to ignore that it even happened!" said the second girl sadly.
Haruhi glanced at Ringo, who had overheard their conversation. Ringo quickly stood up and left the room, probably crying. Haruhi wanted to follow her, but knew she couldn't really leave the other guest. A few moments later she saw another guest get up and leave.
Ringo had gone to one of the libraries and was surprised to find it empty. She went to a bookshelf and sat down on the floor, crying quietly. 'It was just a heat of the moment thing. I mean sure it was special, but it wasn't that big of a deal, and no one else was even there.' She thought.
"Hey! Why were you sitting with Tamaki instead of your boyfriend? Did you not want to see other girls fawning all over him?' someone asked her.
Ringo looked up to see a gurl with her medium blonde hair in buns staring down at her. "Sara?"
Sara smugly looked down at her. "Yes it is. Glad to know you can recognize your own rival. But it seems as though I'm besting you in the school setting. You've went to having everyone hanging on to your every word and following you around to not even looking at you and you've only come to school two or three times. So why'd you miss anyway? Off getting an abortion or something because Hikaru got you pregnant?"
Ringo just stared at the girl, not really listening to the harsh words she was saying, but trying to believe that this girl, who had been her best friend, was talking down to her as if she were a piece of trash.
"Hey! Stand up and don't ignore me!" Sara pulled Ringo up. "Didn't you hear me Ringo?" Sara gave her a look of disgust. "Are you really that in awe of me that all you can do is stare?" she laughed before slapping Ringo hard across her face. "Next time you'll listen and pay attention. And stay away from Hikaru. He's mine and mine alone, got that?" Sara pushed Ringo into the bookshelf causing a few books to fall on her head before walking off.
Ringo sat back on the floor. "Maybe I just won't come back. I won't go back into singing or be an idol anymore. I'll stay in the background from now on.." she whispered to herself falling asleep.
(Time skip brought to you by Popcorn Shrimp, XD jk just back to the club room)
"Hey where's Ringo-Chan? I wanted to share some cake with her today!" Hunny said.
"Oh Ringo. She left quite some time ago. She was crying, but I had a few other guest to entertain so I never got the chance to follow her." Tamaki replied.
"One of our guest left in the middle of a session." the twins said.
"Yeah I saw that." Haruhi said. "Maybe she was following Ringo?"
"If I'm correct, the girl that left was Sara Kasumi?" Kyoya asked the twins who nodded. Pushing up his glasses he sighed. "It seems the two have been "rivals" since they debuted. It's highly unlikely that Sara was going to check on Ringo, but maybe hurt her more. Speaking on that topic, Hikaru are you and Miss Tanashi dating as the reports say you are?"
'Uh, well" It was obvious that Hikaru was flustered. "Can we get to that later? Ringo could be crying somewhere?" He ran out the room quickly to avoid anymore confrontation. The rest of the host club followed asking anyone they passed if they'd seen Ringo.
Hunny saw Sara and ran up to her. "Hi Sara-Chan! Have you seen Ringo around?" he asked her smiling.
"Ringo?" she asked as though surprised. "No, not today, I heard something awful about her, and hadn't really seen her around much today." She said answering Hunny with a smile. A fake one that she used for spotlight pictures.
"Oh okay then! Thank you!" Hunny said watching her walk away before skipping back over to his friends. "Sara said that she hadn't seen Ringo, but I don't think she was telling the truth."
"Where do you think she could be?" Haruhi asked quietly.
"Why don't we ask Renge. Even though she hasn't talked to Ringo today, she knows everything, so she might know where she's gone." Kaoru suggested.
"I heard someone say my name?" They heard Renge say from above. She quickly ran down the stairs. "You want to know where Ringo is? Well I'm not quite sure, but there a few places I would check!" The lights dimmed (seriously what is Renge, a magician?) and a spotlight shone on Renge. "Isn't it obvious, she was hurt by some awful things people said about her. She confused about her feelings for Hikaru and people talking about it didn't help much. She has a fragile heart and her shy self couldn't stand up for her heart. She's probably crying in a quiet room about now." Renge said dramatically, it was a wonder she wasn't an actress.
"So a bathroom?" Tamaki said heading for the nearest girls room. Mori was quick to grab him.
"I don't think so." he said.
"Maybe a library?" Hunny suggested.
"But the library rooms here are always loud and noisy. She wouldn't be there." Haruhi said remembering her first days at this school.
Kyoya pushed up his glasses. "It's later in the day, so most students have probably left for the day. She might be there." he said looking through a notebook.
"Alright then we'll check them." Tamaki said, passionately doing a hero pose (hands on hips, looking at a 67 degree angle towards the sky, you know what i mean).
"Ringo? You in here?" Hikaru said walking into Library Room #2. He didn't see or here anything, so he started to turn around to leave the room when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
It looked like a girl had passed out on the floor. Moving closer, he saw it was in fact Ringo. "Ringo!" Hikaru knelt down closer to her. She hadn't passed out. She was holding her knees to her chest lying on the floor, books surrounding her, mumbling the same few sentences over and over.
"Ringo.. are you okay?" Hikaru asked gently shaking the girl.
Ringo glanced up at the red haired boy. she frowned. "You belong to Sara, she told me so..." the girl said trailing off at the end.
The door to the library opened quietly. Hikaru glanced over his shoulder to see Hunny and Mori standing at the door. "Guys we found her!" Hunny called out to the rest of the host club before running over with Mori to join Hikaru on the floor. It wasn't long after that that the rest of the club joined them.
"What's wrong with her?" Kaoru asked.
"It seems that she's in shock of something. Maybe overhearing people talk about her or something that she's seen." Kyoya said.
"But Ringo-Chan has been mumbling about not performing anymore since we got her." Hunny said sadly.
"Not performing! Oh, but what a sad event that would be to never hear her lovely voice again. We should try to talk her out of it. Or maybe we could have her sing one last time! Maybe at a ball for everyone to hear!" Tamaki said sadly at first, but quickly growing excited.
"Tamaki, she's a pop singer, music for a ball is more classical." Haruhi reminded him.
"Well then not a ball, more of a commoners party then!" Tamaki said clapping his hands. Ringo looked up at him.
"...Party? I want to go to one..." she said quietly hugging her knees tighter.
"Then it's settled! We'll have a commoners party!" Tamaki said excited. He began planning and Kyoya followed him through the library writing down any information that would be needed, so everything.
"Guys we need to focus on getting Ringo home first..." Haruhi said, interrupting the guys party plans.
"I don't want to go home. Mama will be mad." Ringo said crying harder.
Hikaru rubbed her back gently. "Why don't you come home with me and Kaoru? You can wait a few days before going back home."
"Hikaru, aren't you forgetting, you two being together kinda started this." Kaoru said.
"Well maybe she could come over my house. Our houses aren't to far, that way if she wants to go back home, she can get there sooner." Haruhi said.
"But your house is tiny, wouldn't it be kind of troubling?" the twins asked her.
"No it'll be fine. Plus you guys could plan for the party, we should hold it soon." Haruhi said helping Ringo stand so that they could leave. "Bye guys."
