I know that it'sbeen a while since i've last udated BUT i have a valid excuse. I'm going through a lot of graduation preparation and stuff so i've been really busy. With this chapter i'm going to try and begin the process of wrapping this story up. I'm still unsure of the ending- so ideas would be very much appreciated. Ihope you enjoy!
Oh! And i don't own Ouran High School Host Club. (I finally remembered to type the disclaimer lol)
'Hmmm, Paris has changed a lot since I've last been here...there are so many lights. Kind of reminds me of Tokyo at night. Oh! The Eiffel Tower! It looks taller than I remember...let's go to the top!' Tamaki ran towards the red tower, pushing past large crowds. Tamaki reached the large tower and paused. 'I know that it wasn't red...maybe it got a new coating of paint!' Tamaki shrugged off the oddities of the town he grew up in and began his ascension to the top.
"Damn it Rei! You just had to trick him into thinking he was in Paris, didn't you?!"
"Oh shut up Hikaru!" Rei glared at the twin running beside her. "If Tamaki is as stupid as I think he is he's probably going to go somewhere that he believes resembles Paris the most...like the Eiffel Tower or something-" Rei paused and turned to her right, in the distance the Tokyo Tower stood glowing brightly in the darkness. A smirk slid across her face. She whipped out her cell and dialed Haruhi's number.
"Yeah?"
"I found him!"
"Where?!"
"I think that he's at the Tokyo Tower, I'll meet you in the front, okay?"
"Yeah, I'll meet you there"
Rei hung up the phone and turned to face the twins.
"So you really think that he's there?" Kaoru asked.
"Yeah, just think about it...it makes sense doesn't it?" Rei looked at them seriously.
"Yeah, it does" Kaoru agreed "well, let's get going. Haruhi and Kyouya are probably already there by now" Rei nodded and the three of them ran towards the tower.
Tamaki stared down at the town below him, a frown marring his face.
"This isn't Paris" he whispered angrily. "That Rei tricked me...again" Tamaki's hands clenched into fists.
"Tamaki!" he turned to see Haruhi running towards him. "There you are...we've been looking everywhere for you" Haruhi gasped out catching her breath. It was then that he noticed the rest of the Host Club standing not too far behind her...including Rei. His frown deepened. Rei's eyes widened as Tamaki stomped towards him.
"I didn't think that you'd actually fall for it" he shrugged, Tamaki let out a very primitive sound.
"I don't appreciate you taking advantage of me like that. I don't care if you've tricked everyone else into thinking that you're this great person, but I'll have you know that you can't trick me. I will do everything in my power to get you kicked out of Ouran" Tamaki purposefully bumped into Rei's shoulder as he walked away. Rei frowned and turned to look at his retreating back.
"The only one I'm tricking is you...you're the only one that doesn't know the truth. Kick me out of Ouran! I was getting sick of this anyway" Tamaki twitched at the sound of Rei's condescending tone.
"Tamaki is really mad" Haruhi frowned.
"I know"
"He said that he was going to try and kick you out of Ouran"
"I know" Rei muttered staring at the blank TV screen.
"How can you be so calm?"
"I know"
"What? That doesn't make any sense"
"I know"
"Rei! Are you listening to me?!"
"Huh? What?" Rei turned to face Haruhi. Haruhi threw her hands into the air exasperated. "Listen, Haruhi, I understand that you really want me to stay at Ouran with you, but I'm getting tired of having to pretend that I'm a guy. It goes against how I was raised" Rei looked away staring at the TV again. Haruhi frowned, knowing exactly what Rei was referring to.
---Flashback---
"Rei-chan! Let's play!" Haruhi smiled at her friend.
"Sorry Haru-chan. I have to go to a pageant" Rei frowned.
"A pageant, what's that?" Haruhi tilted her head to the side.
"It's where girls my age compete to see who is the prettiest, most talented, and best girl there"
"Why do you have to go?"
"My mom doesn't think that I'm feminine enough. I've been taking etiquette classes too." Rei shrugged. "Sorry Haru-chan, but I have to go now. I'll see you later" Rei ran towards the limo in the distance. Haruhi frowned and ran home.
"Daddy! Daddy!" her dad's head popped out of his bedroom.
"What is it sweetie?" he asked kneeling down next to her.
"Rei-chan says that she has to go to pageants because her mommy doesn't think that she's femi-femin-girly enough!" Haruhi cried. Ranka frowned and hugged his daughter.
"It's okay, honey. I'm sure that Rei-chan's mommy will realize that Rei-chan is girly in her own way"
"In her own way?" Haruhi pulled away from her dad and wiped her eyes.
"Yep, just like you're girly in your own ways. Although you don't like dressing up in dresses, you like to have fun-just like all little girls!" Ranka tickled Haruhi causing her to go into a fit of giggles.
"No! Don't! It tickles!" Haruhi laughed pushing Ranka's hands away from her sides. She frowned, suddenly serious again. "But Rei-chan is super sad...how can I cheer her up?"
"All you have to do...is be her friend!" Ranka smiled.
"Wha?" Haruhi took a disbelieving step back.
"That's right," Ranka chuckled "all you have to do is be her friend and show her your support"
"That's it?"
"Yep, that's it. Now why don't you go to her pageant and cheer for her"
"Okay! Can you take me?" Haruhi looked up at her dad.
"Of course! Let me change first"
"You're not gonna go as a lady are you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me going as a lady" Ranka sniffed walking into his room to pull on a dress and wig.
"Let's go daddy! Let's go!" Haruhi tugged his hand towards the car. Ranka laughed and allowed himself to be dragged to the car.
---End Flashback---
"I understand." Haruhi looked down sadly. "Have you talked to her lately?" Rei let a bitter laugh pass through her lips.
"No. Well, she did call me to tell me that she hoped that I was feeling alright" Rei shrugged.
"You really don't want to pretend to be a guy anymore do you?"
"Nope...like sometimes it's fun but when I really think about it, I just-I don't know. I just feel really tired, of it all. I don't know how you do it..." Rei then smirked and faced Haruhi. "I guess cross dressing runs in the family" Haruhi instantly retaliated and hit Rei with a pillow. In a chain reaction of events, the two girls ended up having a brutal pillow fight.
"You want me to expel Hiroshima, Rei-san?" Tamaki's father questioned curiously.
"That is correct" his father frowned.
"And may I ask what brought you to ask this of me?"
"I don't believe that Hiroshima-san has what it takes to properly represent Ouran Academy. I believe that he is a disgrace to the school, more than anything else."
"I see...I shall give consideration to your words" Tamaki bowed as his father dismissed him. Tamaki left the room and smirked.
Hiroshima, Rei would not get the best of him.
I know that it was pretty choppy but...yeah. Please review, i will be forever greatful! :D
