"You ran into Hazu-chan!?" Hunny asked.
"As in, Hazuki Hoshizora?" Haruhi questioned.
"Hazuki Hoshizora!" Tamaki confirmed.
"Yuki's twin sister, Hazuki!?" The twins asked in unison.
"Yes!"
"Where?" Haruhi questioned.
"At a jeweler in the city!" Tamaki then panicked. He almost blew it! "I mean, she works there, but I was at the library! The library! Yeah! I wanted to check out a book and she was volunteering there." He quickly replied.
"Nice save, Tama-chan!" Hunny whispered.
"Did she recognize you?" Kaoru asked.
"How you do you know it was truly Hazuki?" Hikaru added.
"Well, she didn't say anything. Her hair was shorter, but it was the exact same color and her eyes were the reddish purple! And she was still short! And she kept calling me senpai! And when I mentioned you guys, she added information only she would know!" Tamaki explained.
"Maybe she's with Aki-chan! I miss eating cake with Aki-chan!" Hunny suggested.
"And maybe she's with Yuki or knows where she is." Haruhi pointed out. Silence settled in. The host club have been receiving letters from Yuki. Her handwriting and spelling was horrible, but she wrote to each and every one of them, except for Kyoya, which was strange because she would write to him the most, but he didn't get anything. They stopped receiving her letters after they followed Haruhi to Boston to study. But in Yuki's first letters, she said she was in Chicago.
They would reply to her letters, but she would always write as if she never got a reply. She often asked about Kyoya because to her, he would never reply. But to them, he never received a letter. Not a single letter. And every birthday and every Christmas, she sent birthday presents. For example, she sent Tamaki American commoner food. They would send her presents too. The host club also tried to set up a Skype or arrange a time to meet in Chicago, but she replied as if it was never mentioned.
"Do you guys think she moved on?" Haruhi asked.
"She's beautiful." Tamaki said.
"But she was in love with Kyoya too." The twins pointed out.
"I hope not. Yuki-chan and Kyo-chan are soul mates! They were made for each other!"
"He's her lobster." Tamaki muttered.
"What are you talking about?" Haruhi questioned.
"It was just something I heard."
"It's a reference to Friends!" The twins cried.
"Phoebe says that Rachel is Ross's lobster!" Hikaru explained.
"And that lobsters like mate for life! Even in the tank before their cooked they walk holding claws until they die together!" Kaoru added. Hikaru and Kaoru each made a claw with one hand. Hikaru interlocked his claw with Kaoru's claw.
"See?" Everyone sweat dropped.
Another day at work. She had a strange dream that night of how she reunites with everyone. Hunny was almost six feet tall. He told her Kyoya gave him special vitamins to keep him short. She asked him why and he replied, "he was the loli-shota type. If Hunny was average height, there would be two Tamaki's, which wouldn't be good for business." And then she woke up.
"HAZUKIIIII~!" They called as they rushed in. She was reading an article in a magazine about how the Hoshizora is staying on top and Ohtori is second in a magazine at the counter which also had her twin modeling in it. Tamaki, the twins, and Hunny leapt over the counter to tackle her.
"Guys!" She was grinning from ear to ear as she hugged them tightly. She pulled away. "Oh my god, you all look so different! You dyed your hair, Hikaru!"
"How do you know I'm not Kaoru?" Hikaru asked.
"You can't mix me up. It isn't that hard to tell you apart." She replied.
"I agree, but everyone else thinks its very difficult." Haruhi chimed in.
"Haruhi!" She hugged her tightly. Haruhi narrowed her eyes at her. "You grew your hair out! It looks so pretty! Mori-senpai! You look...the same...but that's good! I've missed you so much!" She hugged Mori, and he returned in. "And Hunny-senpai, you're still the cutest! Thank god you're still small!"
"You got taller, Hazu-chan!"
"Wait, did you call me Hazuki? I'm Yuki!" She looked at all of the faces, but the one she wanted to see most wasn't there. Her heart sank.
"I thought so." Haruhi remarked.
"What are you guys doing here?" Yuki asked.
"Haruhi came to study here and we decided to surprise her and follow her." The twins replied in unison.
"Did you guys get my letters? And my presents?"
"Every single one."
"Why didn't you reply?"
"We did!" Yuki frowned.
"I never received a reply...I got all of your presents but you never wrote back...that's weird. I've been trying to Skype and call, but I lost your numbers when my phone was dropped in the toilet and Hazuki left hers in the car." Yuki explained. Her eyes were watering. "I've missed you all so much...But I'm sorry. I didn't want to stay here..."
"It's okay, Yuki." Haruhi assured.
"We forgive you." Tamaki said.
"We don't blame you. We would've probably done something crazier if we was set up like that by our own girlfriends." The twins added in unison.
"You're so sweet. Thank you."
"What are you up to now?" Haruhi asked.
"Dad moved here to Boston and I got accepted to Harvard in Cambridge. I hope to go to vet school in New York after I graduate." Yuki replied.
"But what about your dyslexia?" Hunny asked.
"Dad got me this really good tutor. It's not a problem for me anymore. Sometimes I have trouble reading, but not really. But my handwriting still sucks." Yuki laughed at herself. "Um, I'm also dancing again. I won four national titles here and I'll be going for my tenth in two weeks. I've been auditioning a little for Broadway shows to..."
"Congratulations!"
"But enough about me! What's new with you guys?" Yuki asked. She was kind of hoping to hear something about Kyoya. Was he here too? Did he hate her? "Tamaki-senpai, how's your family?" This has been bugging her to. Is his grandmother still a hateful hag? Yuki couldn't help but use the term senpai with all of them. It was an old habit that never left. Just like how her love for Kyoya never diminished...
"Good. My grandmother listened to be play the piano and that's when things got better! It turns out we have the same favorite movies and tv shows!" Yuki smirked. She wanted to tell that woman that she told her so. "Kyoya was a big help with it. He also helped me reunite with my mother!"
"Yuki! Ready for lunch?" A voice called. Hazuki entered the store. She didn't look much different. "Oh my god! Tamaki! Hunny! Mori! Hikaru! Kaoru! Haruhi!" She hugged them all. "You look so different! Except for you, Mori. But that's okay!" She hugged Mori again and he returned it. "Wait, where's Kyoya?"
"He has afternoon and evening classes because he gets up late." Tamaki replied.
"Oh, same with Yuki!" Hazuki gushed. "Have you guys ever tried waking her up!? It's the scariest thing ever!" Yuki hit her.
"Shut up. I'm not that bad." Everyone laughed. "I'm not!"
"How long will you guys be here?" Hazuki asked.
"Till the end of the school year. We're just studying for one year." Haruhi replied.
"So can we all have dinner together! Like all nine of us! I want to see Kyoya again. Wouldn't that be nice if we were all here together?" Hazuki suggested.
"Actually, there's a formal ball this Friday. We'll all be there. You two should join us." Tamaki offered. The rest of the host club's jaws dropped, except for Mori, who remained expressionless.
"Oh, I don't know..." Yuki was scared to see him. At the same time, she wanted to see him. She longed for him all these years. When she moved to America, she cried herself to sleep month after month because she missed him so. Her father disapproved her attempted contact with him because he feared they were exchanging information. Yuki ran away once to an airport to fly back to Japan, but because of her problems with dyslexia again, she got on the wrong flight and ended up in Germany so her father had to come get her.
"I have the perfect dress for you, Yuki! You're going with me whether you like it or not!" Hazuki stated firmly. Yuki rolled her eyes.
"It's a masquerade ball." Tamaki added.
"Even better!" Yuki wondered why the rest of the host club was so speechless. Was it going to be a surprise for Yuki or something?
