Chapter 18: Meeting Ranka-san and The Weekend Part One
It had been a whole week since the wedding and the fun sleepover at Hikaru's and Kaoru's place – the only non fun part was that they made me wear that damn nightie. After I had woken up that Sunday afternoon, I was greeted and we had brunch together. Haruhi and I had to leave and we were given a limo – even though we protested saying that we didn't need one. Before I left, I was hugged my Hunny while Takashi touched my cheek.
Haruhi teased me on the way out because apparently my face was red. Of course it would be red after that small intimate moment. Wait, is that even considered an intimate moment? Anyways, when I was dropped off, Haruhi asked me if I would like to have dinner with her and officially meet her otou-san. Me being me, I said that I would love to. She set the date to Friday after Host Club work. And guess what….it is now Friday.
I sighed as the last set of my customers left to enjoy the start of their weekend. I leaned back against the chair, closed my eyes and enjoyed the small amount of silence that I had before Things One and Two came along. Hmm, maybe I should call them Fred and George like from Harry Potter. Or maybe-
"Setsuna-senpai!" I heard Hikaru and Kaoru. I opened my eyes and they were right in front of me. I just looked at them and said,
"Yeah?"
"What'cha up to?" Hikaru asked me. He had to ask me a rhetorical question. I mean, wouldn't it be obvious what I was doing?
I sighed and muttered, "Resting until you bozos came and disturbed me."
"Hikaru, Setsuna-senpai doesn't love us anymore," Kaoru fake cried as he and his brother held each other now.
"Don't worry, Kaoru. I'll still love you even after the end of the world."
"Hikaru."
"Save it for when we have customers," I said as I got up and headed towards Hunny and Takashi.
"Setsuna-senpai, you're no fun," They both said as they crossed their arms. I just laughed and kept on walking. As always, Hunny was eating his large amounts of cake while Takashi was having a cup of tea.
"Hello boys," I pulled up a chair and sat down with them.
Takashi looked at me and smiled as Hunny swallowed his large piece of cake and smiled as he said, "Suna-chan! Do you want some cakie?"
"No thank you. So do you have any plans for the weekend, besides studying and all?" I asked as I was given a cup of instant coffee from Takashi. He already knew about my little addiction with coffee since I can have as much as I want here. "Thanks Takashi."
"Welcome," he smiled and went back to sipping his tea.
"Usa-chan and I are going to eat a whole lot of cakie!" He smiled with flowers around him as he prepped himself for another large bite of cake.
I just sweat dropped at his answer. I seriously wonder how much his stomach can take before he passes out and collapses from eating a lot of cake.
"I'll be practicing kendo with Satoshi," Takashi before drinking his tea.
"He's your otōto (little brother), huh?"
Takashi nodded his head and finished his tea. I looked at him as I drank my coffee and began to wonder whether Satoshi looked like Takashi and if they had the same personality. All I know is that I gotta meet this kid eventually.
"Suna-chan!" I heard Hunny shout, catching my attention.
"Huh?" I was confused now. What had I missed?
"I asked what you were going to do this weekend," Hunny said as he finished his last bite of his strawberry cake.
"Oh, um, well let's see. I have to do laundry, homework, umm clean my room." Yes this was all housework, besides homework of course. "Maybe read my book New Moon."
"Suna-chan, let's head out now?" Haruhi walked over towards us and stopped right next to me. "I have your bag already."
"Sure," I got up and smiled at the two cousins. "I'll see you guys on Monday."
"Bye-bye, Suna-chan!" Hunny smiled and waved his arms around.
"Bye, Setsuna," Takashi gave me a small smile.
I waved and headed out the door while dodging Tamaki's dangerous hugs. I laughed as he fell to the ground and we made our escape. As we walked along the corridors of Ouran, we talked about today's work and once we were outside, Haruhi told me something very interesting.
"Just to warn you, Suna-chan, my otou-san might frighten you for a bit."
I just looked at her confused as we walked out of campus grounds. Why would I get freaked out by her otou-san? I reminded myself to say honorifics in front of her otou-san, since it is polite to do.
We just kept walking and I asked what we were going to eat. She said that she was going to make curry rice. I love curry! Haha, what can I say, food is good! I told her that she had to start teaching me how to cook sometime soon. I mean you never know when I'm going to run out of ramen cups. That reminds me, I need to go get some more this weekend too.
We passed my house and kept on walking. In about ten minutes, we were in front of the apartments that Haruhi lived in. This reminded me of the apartments that I and my family lived in back at Hongō. We went up some stairs and finally we were in front of a door with the number 203. She pulled out her key and placed it in. She then opened it and said,
"I'm home and I brought a guest over."
The first room that I saw was the kitchen. There was an oven, stove, fridge, sink, cupboards – you know, what you typically have in a kitchen. The tiles on the ground were a light brown shade and above the sink was a window. Across from me were sliding doors that lead to the living room. What I was able to see was a T.V., a table, and large sliding windows that lead to a balcony.
"Suna-chan, may you please remove your shoes," Haruhi told me as she took off her shoes and walked in. "Oh and would you please wait in the living room. I'm gonna change."
"Yeah sure," I said to her as I began to remove my slip-ons that I decided to wear today.
As soon as I took off my shoes, I walked in and was now inside the living room. Tatami mats were on the floor; that's why I was asked to remove my shoes. I looked around and also saw a large book case that was filled with books and next to the sliding door was a memorial for Haruhi's okaa-san.
I walked over to it and sat with my feet tucked under my legs. A vase with flowers and a memorial stone were each next to a picture of Haruhi's okaa-san.
'Haruhi surely does look like her okaa-san,' I thought to myself as I decided to say a little prayer to introduce myself to her.
I softly whispered, "Hello Fujioka-san. My name is Ayase Setsuna and I am a friend of Haruhi-chan. I just want to tell you that I truly care about your daughter and I will take care and protect her in any way possible. She is like a little sister to me and I want her to always be happy and if not be there for her when she is sad or angry or for any other emotion that she is feeling. I hope that you are happy and peaceful in heaven. May you rest in peace, Fujioka-san."
"Thank you, Ayase Setsuna-chan." I heard an unknown voice say behind me.
I yelped in fright. Slowly, I turned around. There right in front of me was Haruhi's otou-san. Is he an okama? He had long red-brown hair that reached half-way his back which was cut in layers. Light brown eyes whose eye lashes may seem to have a bit of mascara on. He also had on red lipstick. He had on a blue knee length skirt and a white blouse.
"Don't be frightened. I'm Fujioka Ryouji, Haruhi's otou-san. But you can call me Ranka-san, kay. It's my Genji name that I use at the okama bar I work at," Ranka-san said.
"Ah, pleasure meeting you, Ranka-san," I bowed to be polite.
Ranka-san smiled and said, "My, what a pretty girl you are and very polite too. You are a senior correct?"
I nodded my head as a yes.
"And not only that but you are also part of the Host Club. The Maternal Type, ne?"
"Yes. Does Haruhi-chan normally talk about the Host Club with you?"
He seemed to ponder for a bit before answering, "Nope. Kyoya-kun tells me. But she does tell me other things. Like about her friends and she told me a lot about the wedding that you invited her to."
I sweat dropped, 'Freaking Kyoya. Does he talk to otou-san too?'
"Ah, otou-san." I heard Haruhi's voice as she walked out of a room. She was now wearing some capri jeans and a light blue shirt.
"Haruhi!" Ranka-san got up and went to hug his daughter. Oh man, he acts like Tamaki. No wonder she told me not to be freaked out.
"Otou-san!"
I smiled at the sight. Ranka-san looks like a very fun person to hang around with. I got up and walked over to the table and sat down again.
"Otou-san, could you please let go. I need to start dinner for us all to eat," Haruhi told her otou-san as she pried away from him.
I lifted my hand and said, "Haruhi-chan, are you sure that you don't need any help."
She smiled and looked over at me saying, "No I am fine. Oh and you can drop the honorifics Suna-chan."
I sweat dropped and said okay. Haruhi went over to the kitchen and brought out some tea for us to drink. Ranka-san then sat at the end of the table and asked me,
"Setsuna-chan, how did you come by the Host Club? I haven't been told about that."
I placed my finger by my lip and said, "Well, when I met Haruhi, she told me that she was part of the club so me being curious, I wanted to go. Earlier before that though, I had met Hikaru and Kaoru at their home for a dinner that my family was invited to. Otou-san's boss, who is their okaa-san, invited us. Then Hikaru and Kaoru told Tamaki that they wanted me to join their club, but as a maid though. I declined and then Kyoya asked me if I would rather be a host. I mostly give advice or talk to the customers and that's how I got in."
"Ah, that's how you were able to meet your future boyfriend, Mori-kun, ne?"
"Yup, that's how- Wait, what?" I began to blush furiously. How does he know?!
Ranka-san smirked and said, "I've heard stories about you both. I think you two would make a fine couple."
I was still blushing as I said to Haruhi, "Haruhi?! You told your otou-san?!"
She walked in a little and rubbed the back of her neck while saying, "Sorry, Suna-chan. It sort of slipped out when I told otou-san about your okaa-san's wedding."
"If you want, Setsuna-chan, I can help you out! I can-" Ranka-san was interrupted by Haruhi.
"Otou-san!"
"Haruhi! I wanna play match-maker. Please!" He whined and Haruhi just walked away.
A blush red as an apple stained my cheeks for a while. Apparently, Ranka-san found it so adorable that he wanted to take a picture of me. And of course, Haruhi told him no. It wasn't long before we had dinner. Haruhi's cooking is so good! I should come over more often just to get some food.
It was around eight PM now and dark outside.
"Haruhi, I should head home now before otou-san goes crazy and calls the cops," I sweat dropped at my statement. Knowing otou-san, he would do that.
"Do you want me to walk you home, Suna-chan?" Haruhi asked me.
I shook my head as a no and said to her, "I don't want you to walk back home alone."
"I'll walk Setsuna-chan home!" Ranka-san announced. I was about to protest but he continued saying, "Now let's go!"
Haruhi and I sighed but I smiled in the end. I got up from floor and grabbed my backpack and headed towards the door. Haruhi was behind me all the way as Ranka-san headed to his room to get a sweater.
"Thanks for inviting me, Haruhi. The food was really, really good!" I hugged her after I put my shoes on.
She smiled, "Thanks, Suna-chan. Be careful, okay."
"I will."
Ranka-san finally appeared with a white jacket. He walked over to us and placed on his shoes. He told Haruhi that he would be back soon and with that we left.
"Thank you, Ranka-san, for walking me home this late at night," I thanked him as we began to walk down the street.
He smiled and said, "It's my pleasure. I wouldn't want a cute girl like you getting mugged or hurt now. Besides I wanted to greet your otou-san too."
Okay, now I am confused, "You know my otou-san?"
"Uh huh. He comes by the bar during the weekends sometimes. It's mostly late at night though. He speaks a lot about you and your two sisters. That's why I knew that you were a good girl."
I smiled. It wasn't long until we arrived to my house and we walked in.
"Otou-san! I'm home and someone wants to say hello to you!" I shouted since I had no idea where in the house he was at.
I saw him walking down the steps as I lowered down to grab my shoes after I removed them.
He smiled and said, "Welcome home, Setsuna. Ah Ranka-san! Welcome."
"Kenji-san it's good seeing you again." The two men greeted each other.
"I see you finally met Setsuna. Was she polite when she was over at your home?"
'Of course I would be polite. I always am at someone else's house, otou-san,' I thought to myself as Ranka-san told him I was.
"Otou-san, I am gonna go my room now. Thank you, Ranka-san, once again for walking me home," I bowed.
"It's no problem. You should come over more often, Setsuna-chan."
I smiled and said that I would and told both otou-san and Ranka-san goodnight. I walked up the stairs to my room and opened it. After closing the door, I threw my backpack onto the bed, headed towards my closet and threw my shoes in and grabbed a robe that was hanging.
I stripped my self, putting all my clothes in the hamper and placing the robe on me. I walked out of my room and headed towards the bathroom to take a shower. Luck was on my side since no one was in there. I went in, closed the door, and showered.
About thirty-five minutes later, I got out of the shower and first dried my hair with a towel that was in there so it would be faster for me to blow dry my hair. I blow dried my hair and placed on the robe. I brushed my teeth and once I finished, I got out of the bathroom and headed towards my room.
I closed the door behind me and headed towards my drawer. I got out a green sports bra, blue panties, and began to get dressed. I put on those two items first and then placed on my black pajama bottoms and white muscle tee. As soon as I finished, I jumped on my bed and unzipped my backpack.
"Might as well get started on my homework," I said to no one in particular. "Okay, there is Calculus homework, History, Physics, and English. Calculus is just five problems so I can finish that in like an hour or less. History is just reading and outlining the chapter. That would take like another hour. Physics is five problems but I can finish that in like thirty minutes. English is just to read Brave New World, but I did that already. Alright, let's go Calculus then!"
I pulled out my Calculus notebook and got a pencil out. I always hated math but for some strange and bizarre reason I always did good on it. I began to do read over the problems and began to work on it. Time kept on ticking by and just like I predicted, I finished in like fifty minutes. I decided to do Physics next because it involved math problems, but it was like Algebra, so I finished it faster than I expected. Now it was time for History. It took me and hour to finish so now it was twelve at night.
I lay down on my bed, not knowing what to do next. I just sat up and decided to go get a bottle of water. I did so and headed downstairs. Apparently Kazumi was back since I saw her in the living room watching late night television.
'Hm, maybe I can watch an anime off my laptop. Nah, I'll just go to bed.' I grabbed a water bottle and headed back upstairs. I closed the door behind me and headed towards my bed. I grabbed all my books and notebooks and placed them on my desk. I threw my backpack to the ground and jumped on my bed. I drank a few gulps of water and placed the top back on. I got under the covers and sighed.
"Good night, everyone," I whispered and just went to sleep.
The Next Morning
"Setsuna, get up. We have to clean the house."
'Ugh, I know that voice. Damn you, Kazumi.'
I didn't even bother opening my eyes as I said with an annoyed voice, "Why?"
"Because some friends are coming over to visit here for the day since they haven't seen our new house."
"Who's coming?"
"Hidekazu, Jiro, Tatsuo, and Shiki."
Ah Matsuo Shiki. He is the same age as me with really dark brown hair – it looks like its black – and brown eyes. I used to have a huge crush on him in my old high school, but in the end I gave up since I doubt he liked me. He too plays the drums and is about an inch or two taller than me.
"Why do I have to clean when they are your friends?" I asked her as I pulled the covers over my bed.
"What are you talking about? They're your friends too," She told me as she began to pull my covers to get me out of my bed.
"Friends are people who talk to you, not when they stop talking about you."
"You're an idiot. They ask about you whenever I hang out with them," Kazumi said as she finally managed to remove the covers.
'They actually ask about me? Then why the hell do they not ask me?'
I just glared at her and got up from bed. I just walked out of my room and headed towards the bathroom to do my business. I got out after I finished brushing my teeth and headed towards the living room. There I already found otou-san cleaning the place.
"Ohayo, Setsuna. Can you go was dishes?" He asked me.
'What time is it anyways?' I went to find a clock and once I did my mouth just literally dropped.
"What the hell?! It's barely ten!" I shouted. Man I was pissed now.
I walked towards the kitchen with a dark cloud over my head. I can just picture it having lightning bolts shooting out of it. I grabbed a bowl and poured any random cereal that I found and milk as well. I began to eat it – I would stab occasionally, too – and finished in ten minutes. I got up from the table and put the bowl in the sink.
"I hate doing dishes," I said. Once I finished my hate route, I began to actually do the work.
Scrub and rinse and even more scrubbing and even more rinsing. I don't even know how many dished I had done but now I am on my last one. The plate was still wet as I moved it to put in with the other dishes, but it slipped from my fingers and fell to the ground.
"This isn't my day!" I exclaimed as I bent down to pick up the broken pieces. I was right; it wasn't my day because right when I placed my left hand on the ground to grab a piece, I cried out.
"Son of a-" I stopped my self as I looked at my left hand. The cut was bleeding a lot and my hand began to throb.
"Otou-san!" I shouted out loud to call him. Not that long he walked in and all he did was see the ground and me clutching my hand before he freaked out.
"Setsuna! Are you alright? Fuka, bring a first aid kit! Kazumi, bring a broom!" He shouted out loud so that my sisters would hear his commands. He then led me over the sink where he turned on the faucet and placed my left hand over the running water.
The first person to appear was Kazumi with a broom.
"What happened this time?" She asked as she walked in. All she had to do was look at the ground and at me to know what happened. "Idiot," I heard her before she began to sweep up the broken pieces of glass.
Fuka came in next and brought the first aid kit with her. She walked over to otou-san and opened the kit for him. He pulled out some tweezers and brought my hand close to his face. Slowly, he began to remove pieces of glass from my hand.
I brought up my right hand and bit it so I wouldn't scream. Tears were threatening to fall as he removed the glass. When he finished, I looked in the sink – where he had placed the glass – and freaked. There were five small pieces and two big ones. Otou-san then placed on some anti-bacterial cream and wrapped a bandage around my hand. The pounding in my hand began to fade but the pain was still there.
"Next time be careful, Setsuna," Otou-san said as he finished wrapping the bandage.
"I will," I told him.
"Ey, go get dressed. They are gonna be here in like ten minutes," Kazumi told me as she threw away the pieces of glass into the trash can. My face went blank as I left the kitchen to head towards the staircase.
I slammed the door shut behind me and locked it. I walked over to my closet and looked for something to wear. I decided on black skinny leg jeans and a green tank top. I threw that on my bed and grabbed a bra from my drawer. I changed and threw my pajamas in my drawer.
All of a sudden, my cell phone began to vibrate on my desk. I went to grab it and just picked it up.
"Moshi, moshi," I answered the phone.
"Suna-chan!" Hunny's cute voice was heard.
"Hi, Hunny. What's up?" I smiled and sat down on my bed. My bad mood began to fade away quickly.
"Usa-chan and I and Takashi want to come over so we can do homework. Ne, Takashi?" I heard him ask his cousin.
Knowing Takashi, he would have nodded his head or said "Ah."
"Well, it's totally fine with me. But I do have to warn you that there are other people that are going to be here as well."
"Who?" His voice is too cute!
"Some of Kazumi-nee's friends."
"Does that mean that your ex-boyfriend will be there?"
I sighed and said, "Unfortunately yes. I am just gonna avoid him completely; I mean we are gonna be in my room the entire time."
I then heard him say to Takashi, "You know what that means, Takashi. You get to be Suna-chan's boyfriend again!" He then said to me, "We'll be there in twenty minutes, Suna-chan. We'll bring cakie! Bye-bye!"
"Bye, Hunny. Tell Takashi I said bye, too."
We both then hung up the phone. I ran my fingers threw my hair before getting up and placing my cell phone in my pocket.
'Let the rest of my day begin.'
