Note at end.
At lunch the next day I pull Tamaki aside.
"Hey. When would be the best time today for me to tell the Host Club?"
"Well, now probably. We're supposed to have a meeting so everyone will be in the club room."
"Ok." I take a deep breath. "Let's get this over with."
Tamaki and I go to the club room and enter. I see that everyone has arrived and I walk over to Kyoya.
"I have an announcement to make. It'll probably take a little while, so when would you like me to make it?"
"We only have a few things to discuss so after that."
"Ok."
I sit down and we start the meeting. After what felt like forever, but was really 10 minutes, we finish and Kyoya announces that I have something to say. Everyone looks at me and Tamaki nods.
Phew. Ok. Here goes. I tell them the same story I told Tamakim omitting the friend and her mom from the crash. When I finish there are a couple minutes of silence. Suddenly, Tamaki speaks up.
"Ok everyone. You can't not talk. You must have questions. Go ahead. Kairi and I will both try to answer them all."
"Kai?"
"Yes Honey?" I reply.
"Why did you lie to us before about your family?"
"Because what I told you was the cover story. I'm not allowed to tell anyone the truth until I've graduated college, when it will be announced to the world. Last night I agreed to an extension that allows me to tell you guys. But only you guys. So you have to keep this secret."
"Why do you have to wait until after you graduate college?" Hikaru asks.
"Well. There is this plan that Tamaki's and my father has. I don't know how much I can tell you guys. I'll ask him the next chance I get."
Suddenly the bell rings. Everyone grabs their stuff and goes to class.
The rest of the school day flies by. Before I know it I'm sitting in front of my regular customers.
"Hello girls. How was all of your weekends?"
They all reply, "Fine."
"Where were you Friday?" Asuna asks.
"Oh. I had something personal come up. I'm sorry I wasn't here."
"That's ok. We understand."
"Thanks." I smile. "So, Ayako, how did you do on your math test?"
"Well, I passed. I got an 88 on it."
"Yay! That's awesome. Did you remember the trick I taught you?"
"Yes. It helped me immensely. Thank you so much."
"Of course. I'm happy to help. Now, Rin. You had a chemistry test. How did that go?"
"I did better. I got a 90 on it. Thank you so much for the help."
"No problem. Asuna? How was your German test?"
"Richtig! I ch habe 86 Punkte reziehlt."
"Wunderbar!"
"Danke."
"Bitte." I look at the puzzled faces of the other two. "Sorry. That was German. I thought it was fitting since we were talking about her German test."
The other two nod and smile.
"That's so nice of you," Ayako compliments.
"Yeah. You're so nice," Rin agrees.
"Thanks you guys. I'm not doing anything special though. I'm just being a decent human being."
"You're so modest." They all giggled. We all continued to talk until the club hours were over.
I got up and went about cleaning up. After I finished, I went over to Tamaki and told him I'd meet him at the limo and that I had something to discuss with Kyoya. He nodded and left. I walk over to Kyoya and sit down across from him. Everyone else had left so it was just the two of us.
"Do you need something?" Kyoya asks, not looking away from his laptop.
"Well, I just came across some info that you don't know. In fact, no one knows of it except for 3 people including myself."
Kyoya looks up at me. "Is that so? And why would I care?"
"Oh. Trust me. This is something you want to know. Let's say in involves you."
"Really? Well, let's cut to the chase then. What do you want?"
"I have one request before I tell you."
"Very well. What is it?"
"I want to know the reason you told the Host Club that I should join."
"What? What makes you think it was my idea?"
"Because that's what someone told me."
"Who was it?"
"I'm not telling you. I'm not a snitch. I just want to know why you wanted me to join."
"I do not wish to give that information away. If that is all, we are done here."
"Wait. Why are you so opposed to telling me?"
"It is none of your business."
"Oh my god! You are so aggravating! What did I do to you? Why do you treat me like shit? Seriously. Since the very beginning you've treated me like shit! First, you tried to blackmail me. Then when I finally joined the club you treated me like I was a burden. Do you know what I've given up for this club?! Do you know what I agreed to just to have my brother in my life? I cannot believe I agreed to marrying you! When I heard you wanted me here I thought maybe you weren't all that bad! I thought maybe you wanted me here for a reason! I thought that if there was a reason you wanted me here that maybe marrying you wouldn't be that bad! But if this is how you're going to treat me, you can forget about me being compliant in this marriage! I will make your life a living hell! You will wish we didn't get married!"
With that, I storm off. When I got to the limo, I climb in and put my earbuds in. I ignore Tamaki's look of curiosity and stare out the window. Tamaki tells the driver to go to my place and we head off.
When we get there, I put my earbuds away and get out. Tamaki and I go into the apartment and start bringing my stuff to the limo. As we're working Tamaki starts talking.
"I don't know what happened, but just know I'm here for you if you want to talk."
"Thanks." After a minute or so I speak again. "I went in there to give him some very important information. All I wanted in return was to know why he wanted me in the club to begin with. I guess he couldn't be bothered to tell me. I finally snapped and yelled at him. And I told him in the worst way possible that we're engaged. I know I should've been calm, I just. He's so . Grr."
Tamaki walks over and hugs me.
"Hey. It's ok to be upset. Kyoya can be like that to people. In his mind, if he doesn't gain anything from someone then there is no point in being nice to them. He is a good guy. I'm not trying to excuse his actions, but maybe he has a reason for not wanting to tell you."
"I know. It just really frustrated me."
"I'm sorry. I think you just need to talk to him. Eventually he'll come around. He's not as bad as he seems."
"Thanks. I'm good now. Let's finish loading these boxes into the limo."
We finish transferring the boxes and I very emotionally say my goodbyes to Unc and Aiko. We get in the limo and we leave.
We arrive at the estate and Tamaki shows me around the manor. He tells me the servants will bring my stuff to my room and that we can go down and eat. I feel uneasy about having servants doing all the work but Tamaki reassures me that it's ok.
After dinner, he leads me back to my room. Before he opens the door I thank him.
"For what?" Tamaki asks.
"For trying. I know this is weird. I wasn't expecting this to happen. I always thought you'd find out when everyone else does. Then I'd live with Yuzuru and that would be that. I didn't expect that I would already know you. I'm sorry. But thank you for trying."
"Don't worry about it. After everything you've been through, I think a little normalcy is in order."
I walk over and hug him. "Thank you. You have no idea what that means to me."
After a couple seconds, I let go and open the door to my new room. When I look inside my jaw drops. This room is huge. I think it might be bigger than my entire apartment. Well, my old apartment. If only those kids could see me now. Look at me now bitches. My new room is bigger than the entire house. Fuckers. I won.
"So what do you think?" Tamaki asks. "It's not finished. We had very little notice. But, at least you can help with designing based on your likes."
"No, it's fine. It's more than fine actually."
"So you like it?"
"Yea. I mean, it'll take some getting used to, but it's definitely big."
"Oh good. I'm glad you like it. I was so worried about it."
"Thank you." I chuckle. "I seem to be saying that a lot." Tamaki chuckles.
"Well, I think I'll leave you now. If you need anything I'm right across from you."
"Thanks." We both chuckle.
"Goodnight Kairi,"
"Goodnight Tamaki."
I close the door and take another look at my new room. This is certainly big. Who needs this much room? I managed just fine before in a shared bedroom. Now, I have this whole room to myself. I don't have to share a room anymore.
All of a sudden, I realize I'm crying. What? Why am I crying? It's not like I didn't know this was coming. It just came a little sooner than expected. Ok. I need to stop now. I have other things to worry about.
I walk over to the boxes that the servants had brought up. I open a couple up and find my phone charger, the picture of my family (Mom, Dad, Aiko, and I), and my stuffed kitty. I don't know why, but I sleep much better with my kitty. I walk over to my bed and set the picture on the table next to my bed. I plug my charger into the wall and sit kitty on the bed. I should go to bed. I can't be slacking off in school because of all this.
I find some pj's and put them on. I start to set an alarm when I realize I don't know when to set it for. When does Tamaki usually leave for school in the morning? I suppose I should go ask him.
I get up and talk across the hall. I knock on the door and a couple seconds later Tamaki opens the door.
"What's up Kairi?"
"Um. I had a question."
"Yes?"
"Uh, when do you usually leave for school in the morning? I can't set my alarm without this info."
"Oh. I usually leave around 8:15. Breakfast is served at 7:30, so I usually get up around 7:15. Does that help?"
"Yes. Thank you. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
I walk back to my room and set my alarm for 5:45. That should give me enough time to finish homework and get ready before breakfast. I wonder if it's possible for me to get a cup of coffee while I do homework. Hmm. I could ask Tamaki but I don't want to bother him again. I could text him. Oh wait. I don't have his number. Making a mental note to get his number in the morning. Ok. I guess I'm all set. I should go to sleep now.
I lay in bed and close my eyes. After a while I finally fall asleep, but I have a night of restless sleep.
I'm sooooooo sorry. I know I keep saying this. I feel like I apologize every time I upload. It's been a hectic couple of weeks. Between finishing one production and starting another production I've had no time during the day to write and upload. I had a longer weekend this weekend so I wrote. I did all my homework and then wrote. I have enough written for another chapter so at least I can get that uploaded next week. I'll really try to upload as often as I can. I'm so sorry for the wait.
I'd like to briefly thank everyone who is following/favorited this story. I cannot believe that people like this story. This story literally came out of spite and anger. I got upset with OC stories always having the OC not fight back when they get forced into the club. So, I wrote my own story to satisfy my anger. I guess everyone has enjoyed the product of this anger. I hope you all continue to enjoy this story.
Also, translation for you. "Rightig! Ich habe 86 Punkte reziehlt." means awesome, I scored 86. "Wunderbar." mean wonderful. "Danke and bitte" are thank you and you're welcome. I decided to use my German knowledge for once.
As always, thank you all for enjoying this story. Please feel free to write reviews. I always respond to everyone by pm-ing them. I find it's more personal that way. Thank you all.
