Haruhi's Color

Chapter 3

Oh this was going to be bad. When Haruhi woke up, not only were all the guys awake before her, but when she went in the kitchen, she found a huge mess all over the kitchen, and all of them arguing over something.

"You better help me clean this up"

She walked to the closet and got out a broom, a vacuum, and a mop. She gave the mop to Hikaru, Kyoya got the vacuum, and she started with the broom.

"Um, not to be rude or anything, but I am still very new to the usage of vacuums, as you call them."

A vein popped on her head.

"Just start already Kyoya."

She kept brooming until she noticed that Kyoya really couldn't use a vacuum. She put the broom away and started with the vacuum. While she was vacuuming, she was telling the others their orders.

"Hey Haru-chan?"

"Yes Honey-senpai?"

"When this is all over, can we have sweets?"

"Sure Honey-senpai, if that will make things go faster. I'll bake you a chocolate cake with chocolate fudge, colourful sprinkles, whipped cream and chocolate kisses."

"That sounds great!"

He moved around faster and cleaned up quicker.

'Phew, now where am I gonna find all that's needed?'

A loud crash snapped her back to reality.

"Senpai! What did you drop?"

Tamaki looked down in guilt.

"I uh, dropped a bowl."

"Did it break?"

He nodded his head.

"Um, yes. And I cut my finger!"

He came running to her while crying. She looked at it and saw that it was a tiny scratch, no blood, and no glass inside it.

"Ugh, go run some water over it and then put a bandage on it."

"Um, where are the bandages?"

"In the cabinet in front of the sink."

He went to the bathroom. The rest kept cleaning up and by the time it was done, it was already noon.

"Aw man, I'm starving now! Come on guys, let's go out for lunch, my treat."

Suddenly both twins had a hold of her arms.

"Nuh-uh Haruhi, let us pay for you, we don't want you to starve yourself just for us."

They said at the same time and Haruhi's eyebrow twitched.

"Are you saying I'm poor?"

"N-No! Of course not Haruhi! We just don't want you to waste your money is all."

They grinned at her and she groaned.

"Fine, just as long as I get to pay for my meal, got that?"

"Yes Haruhi!"

Tamaki then came towards Haruhi and pointed at them accusingly while yelling at them.

"YOU TROUBLE-MAKING LITTLE DEVILS LET HARUHI DO WHAT SHE WANTS SHE'S VERY CAPABLE OF HANDLING HERSELF!"

They both smirked and hugged Haruhi tightly.

"And that's why you need her to take care of you right Tamaki?"

They looked at his scratch and Tamaki turned beet red and went to cry in his corner. Haruhi sighed then went to get her keys and then she was at the door.

"Guys are you coming?"

As soon as she asked it they were all right in front of her and Honey was on Mori's shoulders.

"Okay, let's get going then."

Haruhi opened the door and started walking outside. She looked around at the people walking by, most were wearing something red. She looked down and got sad a little but quickly sucked it up so that no one would notice. Unfortunately for her they all did.

"Haru-chan, are you ok?"

She nodded her head meekly.

"Yes Honey-senpai, I'm great."

She smiled at him sweetly, but he could tell it wasn't full-hearted. As they kept walking, the twins put their hands on her shoulders and smiled.

"You are going to take a ride with us in our car."

Hikaru had spoken first.

"And the rest will too so that way we won't have to walk!"

Kaoru finished for him. A normal looking car pulled up and they all went in. The driver was dressed in normal clothes, he looked like a dad, as to not attract unwanted attention. Haruhi smiled at their attempt at a "normal" setup, even though it did look strange that the driver still acted like a chauffeur.

'Mom, I really hope you're happy up there. I'm wearing your favorite shirt, the one you were going to give to me when I would be older. Hope you like it, I love you mom.'

"I love you mom."

She hadn't meant to say it aloud, but it came out in a low whisper and caught the attention of them all. They looked in her direction to see a tear fall down her cheek. They all looked saddened, even Kyouya.

"Haruhi, where did you say this restaurant was?"

She snapped out of her trance and looked towards Kyouya.

"Oh, you keep going towards that road then turn left after the third stop from this one."

He nodded and gave the directions to the chauffeur. Honey was happily playing with Usa-chan, while Tamaki was sleeping and the twins were trying to imitate eachother.

"It's right there guys!"

Haruhi pointed to a building of 5 stories that looked fancy enough for their tastes. It wasn't a 5 or 4 star, but it was a 3 star, and Haruhi could afford it. Tamaki's and the twins' mouths dropped to the floor.

"A-are you sure you wanna go here Haruhi? I mean, what if it's too expensive, what if the food isn't good, or m-maybe what if it won't fit into your budget and you'll be poor for-"

She turned her head brusquely in his direction and glared at him.

"Tamaki-senpai, I think I know what I can afford or not. I'm not stupid."

She walked in the door and the twins were laughing at him while he was crying while sulking behind them. They got to the front and the waiter smiled wide.

"Ah Haruhi-sama, so nice of you to join us today. It has been such a long time, which table shall I give you?"

She smiled as he greeted her and bowed, kissing her cheek. The twins and Tamaki wanted to punch him through the nearest wall.

"Nice to see you again as well Kiyo, I would like the usual table please, and put a tab for me, I'll be paying for them all."

He nodded and told them to follow him. The twins and Tamaki were glaring at him and Haruhi was still smiling.

"Here you go, if there's anything you would like, feel free to ask."

He then left and Haruhi started looking at the menu.

"Who is he! Why did he kiss your hand!"

The twins and Tamaki said in unison. Their teeth were grinding and Haruhi couldn't help but laugh.

"He's a friend of my dad's at work. His part-time job is being a waiter, and since I often come here I know him almost as well as my dad."

Tamaki looked at the twins and they were trying to figure out why he sent them a cocky smile after kissing her hand.

"Don't you even think of harming him, or you'll be literally kicked out of here."

The twins smirked and Tamaki was already forming a plan after she finished, until...

"May I take your orders or would you like to wait another minute?"

She looked at the menu then at the guys and back at Kiyo.

"I think we're ready to order."

As soon as she finished that sentence no sooner did Hikaru and Kaoru almost jump out of their chairs. Mori had picked them up and Honey was just laughing and running around his legs holding his precious bunny. Haruhi then started placing everyone's orders and Kiyo took her menu first then all the rest. Kaoru and Hikaru smirked, for they had left a surprise in theirs.
