AN: In response to the guest who asked when I will have the host club enter the story: I thought that it would be obvious that she would meet them in highschool. After all, it is called Ouran HIGHSCHOOL Host Club. Haruhi is only six at this point of the story. I'm sorry if the story seems to be going slow, but I don't wish to rush to the action. My writing style is very character driven so my main focus is always making sure that characters are as in character as possible with the situation I throw them in, such as having more mild language than usual with the case of Yurio back in Second Skate or having a usually childish, happy character have a more adult, depressed POV as I have a feeling will be the case of Manami in this chapter. I do my best to speed things up, but there's only so much I can do without feeling too uncomfortable or losing interest in writing. Doing that was one of the reasons one of my other stories (Why Must Life Be Crazy) was cancelled. A lot of my stories end up lost to time if I try doing a more plot driven writing style. So to answer the question, the hosts will come in when I feel like it's appropriate for their character. I can't say when that will be, but I can say that when I get to that point I'll add them in without a problem for that's just how I write. I do hope that other's ask questions as well. I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Now, this is one of my smaller updates but that is mainly due to writer's block and time constraints that will be more prevalent in the near future as school has started back up again for the 2019-2020, but I never really stick to a schedule so the relevance of this information is quite pointless. Either way I hope you enjoy this chapter enough to leave a review and favorite/follow. I love reading the reviews no matter the type. Heck they could be completely irrelevant and I'd still like it. Anyway this chapter was posted on August 11, 2019. Now on with the story.

Fifth Skate:

Chat and a Post

Minami's POV

Dinner was okay. Everyone made me feel like I had a place to belong here. After dinner I brought a plate up to Haru-chan's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in," I heard faintly. Doing as told, I entered the room and saw Haruhi stretching out her arms with her eyes closed.

"Hey Haruhi," I say a bit slower than usual so as to not scare her. Her eyes snapped open and her head turned to me so fast I'm surprised she didn't suffer from whiplash. Brushing the reaction off I carry the plate of food over to her and sit on the side of her bed. "You missed dinner, so I brought you some in case you were hungry." I smiled my trademark grin, even if it felt a bit forced now.

Haruhi waved her arms frantically as she spoke. "Oh you didn't have to do that for me, Kenjiro-sempai. I'm sure I would have been okay even if I didn't get food." Her expression was so priceless and cute that I can't really describe it. I let out a barely audible chuckle, handing her the plate.

"It was no problem. Besides, what kind of Onii-san would I be to let you skip a meal?" I quirk an eyebrow at her. I must of said something wrong because she froze up in an instant. "Haruhi," I say, worry clear in my tone. "Are you alright?" She shook her head and then nodded.

"Yeah," she said quietly. "I'm okay." She then proceeded to eat the food given to her.

"What made you faint earlier?" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me again.

"Nothing," she replied quickly.

"Well it must have been something. People don't just faint out of nowhere, you know?"

She paused for a bit. "Surprised, that's all."

I furrowed my eyebrows thinking. "What was so surprising that it could cause that reaction? You were fine when we met, but when Yukimura-chan and I were arguing you fainted. So what was it?"

She let out a heavy sigh. It was the same kind of sigh I heard Yuri-sempai do after one of his performances. She looked at me with her expressive, brown eyes while taking a deep breath. "I," she started before biting her lip, "I wasn't… I wasn't expecting you to say that."

"Say what?" I ask tilting my head to the side. She stared down at her plate that was now about half empty.

"I wasn't expecting you to call me your sister," she mumbled. It took a bit to process her words, but after I did it donned on me why that would surprise her enough to faint. She is a fan of mine and she's an orphan as well who might not have any family left, unlike the Yukimura siblings. Oh man. I hope she's not too upset at me for that.

"Oh. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Haru-chan." She waved her hands back and forth rapidly.

"No, no. It's alright," she said quickly. "I just wasn't expecting it is all. It was nice. I was just surprised; it's no big deal. Please don't be sad Kenjiro-sempai!" Her eyes showed all of her emotions that were rapidly switching back and forth from scared to concerned.

I smile reassuringly to my little sister. Man, is that a nice thought. "I'm not sad. I'm just worried for you." She smiled back at me and from there we talked the whole night through. Well, at least until her nine o'clock curfew when I went back to my room so we wouldn't get in to trouble.

Back in my room, I instantly got on my phone and started browsing social media. Phichit posted more cool pics from Thailand, Victor posted more pictures of Victuuri and of his dog Makkachin, Yuri Plisetsky tweeted about how disgusting they were, and Guang Hong Ji tweeted out a thank you for all the support he was getting. And then, it happened. The notification that I know every Victuuri shipper was waiting for.

Victor tweeted that he and Yuuri-senpai were getting married on February 14th. That's only ten days from now. I can't wait to see the photos and videos of the ceremony and reception. I checked the rule book and unless I had a potential adoptive parent that was close to the end of the adoption process with me I wouldn't be able to go, which sucks. I eagerly comment that due to orphanage rules I can't make it, but wish that I could, before asking for someone to post photos and videos so I wouldn't feel left out. Not five minutes later, Phichit replied saying that he will be live streaming the ceremony and reception for those who couldn't make it. This got a lot of support and Yuuri-senpai even said that Phichit is going to be his best man so he'll be close to the action. Happy for one of my wishes being granted I turn off my phone and get some rest. I have a feeling that these week were going to be very eventful.

AN2: Okay so... I'm a bit confused about the difference between senpai and sempai as I have heard both used to reference the same thing so if someone could please let me know which mean what that would be great as all my research has been contradictory to itself that would be great. Tell me your thoughts and please let me know if you feel like a character isn't being portrayed correctly as I am to keep the characters as in character as possible (Yurio not withstanding as I'm simply uncomfortable with casually cussing like he does). So that is all and I hope to hear from you in the reviews, see you next time ~lumigo
