The Doctor Is Now Present!
Still shell-shocked, Shun stood between Hikaru and Kaoru, who—along with the other hosts—were observing Tamaki as he gazed off into the distance with a dopey expression.
"He must be having a good daydream," Honey surmised.
"He's kind of creeping me out," Hikaru muttered. At that, Tamaki stood up swiftly.
"Envious, Hikaru? This is all part of my strategy." Tamaki held his index finger up. "While you have wasted time blinded by your jealousy, I foresee the outcome of this charade." He then swung his arms out and sighed happily. "This story is obviously a romantic school comedy! Haruhi and I are the main characters, so that makes us love interests!"
"Yeah, then what are we?" the twins questioned.
"You guys," Tamaki said as he pointed at the hosts in front of him, "are the homosexual supporting cast!"
Shun snapped out of her daze instantly. The what? She stared with wide eyes as Tamaki drew a line between them. How did he draw a line in the floor using only a stick?!
"Listen boss," Hikaru said.
"I don't think you get it," Kaoru finished.
Honey clutched his stuffed bunny tighter. "If word gets out that Haru-chan and Shu-chan are girls, then they won't be able to be in the host club anymore, and Shu-chan will get kicked off of the baseball team!" At this, Tamaki's face blanked.
"Although, if Haru-chan and Shu-chan started wearing girls' clothes, I bet they would be even cuter than they are now!" Honey chirped brightly.
"Haruhi dressed like a regular girl when she was in middle school, right? She must have been pretty popular with all the boys," Hikaru thought aloud.
Kyouya nodded in affirmation. "Yeah. According to my report, someone would declare their undying love to her at least once a month." He adjusted his glasses. "Shun is no slouch either. Although she didn't dress as a girl in middle school, other girls constantly gave her confession notes and gifts."
Shun gaped at him incredulously. "How the hell did he learn about that?!" she whispered to herself.
"Oh, I see," Kaoru said. "So the boss wouldn't even be able to get close to Haruhi!"
"But we'd be able to because we're in the same class!" Hikaru said sneakily as both he and Kaoru grinned slyly. Then, as if to break the tense atmosphere, Haruhi conveniently entered the room.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late—" she began, but was cut off as Tamaki grabbed both her and Shun by the shoulders once again.
"Don't worry!" he assured the two of them. "We're determined to keep your secrets! No one will find out that you're really girls during the physical exam tomorrow! So please, promise us that you'll stay our beloved secret princesses!"
The girls both blinked simultaneously. "Sure," Haruhi said blankly.
Hikaru and Kaoru glanced at each other. "I think both of us would be a little peeved if we had to watch all of the guys flirt with them," Hikaru admitted.
"Then that settles it," Kaoru concluded.
Operation: I Swear Haruhi and Shun Are Guys!
Tamaki began tapping at things written on a whiteboard, and the two twins saluted in response. Looking over with a bored expression, Shun noticed that Haruhi was thinking about something. Finally coming to a conclusion, Haruhi placed her fist in her hand.
"I got it!" She lifted a finger to her chin. "You guys are worried because if they find out I'm a girl, I can't be a host and therefore can't repay my debt!" She then turned around and began listing off numbers to herself.
Smacking a hand against her forehead, Shun wiped it down her face and stared at Haruhi between her fingers. "Haruhi can be so dense sometimes," she muttered to herself.
Turning to the side, Haruhi rubbed her neck. "Well, guess I'll just have to find another way to pay you back." She then laughed nonchalantly as Shun's shoulders sagged at Haruhi's obliviousness. After that, she had stopped listening to whatever conversation was going on at the moment and was wracking her brain on what to do.
I can't let everyone find out I'm a girl! If they do, then I'll be removed from the baseball team! She rubbed the bridge of her nose in frustration, pinching it between her index finger and thumb. There's no way I'm gonna lose everything I've done to get this far! Shun was promptly brought out of her thoughts by Kyouya, who had placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled at her comfortingly.
"There's no reason for you to worry, Shun," he reassured her. "The terms of our agreement were that you would work for the host club and in return, we would keep your identity a secret. I am not one who would breach a contract, so you can relax."
The knot in her stomach uncoiled, and she sighed in relief. "Thanks, Kyouya-senpai."
The next day...
The following day, Hikaru, Kaoru, Haruhi, and Shun walked through the halls together on the way to the physical examination.
"So, what do they do at the physical exams for Ouran anyway?" Haruhi questioned.
"It's no different than a physical exam you'd get at any other school," Hikaru replied simply.
"Yeah, why would a physical exam be different for us just because we're rich?" Kaoru added as the group neared the entrance doors.
I can think of many reasons why, Shun thought to herself as she pushed the doors open, the rest of the Class 1-A group trailing behind her. Two rows of identically dressed doctors and nurses met her eyes, and they all simultaneously greeted the students who were entering.
Haruhi gaped at the scene in front of her, while Shun looked mildly annoyed. "What is all this?" Haruhi asked incredulously, her shoulders drooping slightly.
The Hitachiin twins walked past them. "Just another physical exam," Hikaru stated plainly.
"The usual," Kaoru continued as he passed by Haruhi and Shun.
"Well that doesn't sound arrogant at all," Shun said bitterly as she and Haruhi followed them. Two nurses approached the twins, and they promptly left to get their heights measured, leaving Haruhi and Shun by themselves. Then, two different nurses came up to the girls.
"Mister Fujioka, I'm your nurse for the physical exams. Please, come this way." The nurse took hold of Haruhi's wrist and gently led her past the many curtains lined up in the room, while the other nurse did the same with Shun. However, the two both stopped when they noticed Mori and Honey, donning lab coats and looking completely out of place. They both lifted their fingers to their lips in a shushing motion when the pair stared at them.
Kyouya appeared behind Haruhi and Shun suddenly. "I've got those two for backup, just in case something happens," he explained.
"Why are they dressed in doctor disguises?" Haruhi asked.
"They're just helping to set the mood." Kyouya adjusted his glasses before elaborating. "Disguises make our operation feel like a real espionage mission."
"Is that really necessary, though?" Shun thought aloud to herself, before accompanying Haruhi as they began making their way down the carpeted floor. However, their journey was once again halted.
"Hey, what's a crowd doing over there?" Tugging on Haruhi's sleeve, Shun gestured over at the throng of girls that were surrounding one of the curtained areas. Haruhi turned around and directed her gaze to where her cousin was pointing.
A nurse motioned towards the cream-colored curtain. "Hitachiin brothers, we're ready to take your chest measurements. You can use the area behind this curtain to undress."
Hikaru slipped his shirt off. "Doesn't matter to me."
"We're not shy, who needs a curtain?" Kaoru said shamelessly as he followed suit. The girls immediately began squealing in delight, waving their handkerchiefs frantically.
"That explains it," Shun said as she stared blankly at the commotion.
Kyouya observed the scene with a smile on his face. "Quite an impressive turnout today. Physical examination day is quite popular with the ladies."
What's wrong with the girls at this school? Shun thought to herself.
"I won't allow it." Hikaru grabbed Kaoru's shoulder. "It's not fair. I won't let those doctors touch you, Kaoru."
Kaoru chuckled. "What are you talking about? You don't seem to have a problem touching me when we play doctor at home. I can't get you to stop tickling me and toying with my body," he said teasingly.
At the sudden display, the girls in the crowd shrieked even louder. Shun plugged her ears with her fingers in an attempt to drown out the noise. "Do they have to be so loud?" she complained.
Then, Honey and Mori appeared out of the blue, dragging Haruhi and Shun along.
"Come on, this way!" Honey led them to an empty area and shoved them behind the curtain. Tamaki caught Haruhi in his arms effortlessly, while Shun landed clumsily on her knees.
Haruhi whirled around. "Tamaki-senpai?" she mumbled in surprise, falling to the floor.
Shun could feel sweat forming on her brow when she heard a voice from outside the curtain.
"Mister Fujioka? It's time for us to take your chest measurements. Once you've finished disrobing, please come with me," a nurse called.
After reassuring Haruhi and Shun to relax, Tamaki stepped towards the curtain. "I promise I'll protect you," Tamaki said gently as he exited.
Shun scooted closer to Haruhi as soon as he left. "Are you really sure his plan is going to work?" Shun whispered.
"I don't kno—" Haruhi began, but was soon interrupted by the sound of the twins' hysterical laughter mixed with the giggles of the girls surrounding them.
Tamaki soon appeared in front of Haruhi and Shun, quietly pulling back the curtain and hiding behind it. "I'm sorry. They figured it out..." he murmured.
At that, Haruhi and Shun whipped their heads around, shooting Tamaki glares so sharp they could slice through ice, thus causing Tamaki to scream in terror.
Shun was still fuming when she felt Kyouya tap her shoulder. "Haruhi, Shun, are you ready?" he spoke calmly as he placed a hand on his waist. "I went ahead and set up a separate room for you in the special boys' clinic. And I have a doctor standing by sworn to secrecy."
"It turns out all the doctors here today are on staff at one of Kyouya-senpai's hospitals," Hikaru said, shrugging his shoulders. The rest of the host club had also appeared around him.
"It would have been nice if he said something to us earlier," Kaoru commented.
Chuckling, Kyouya adjusted his glasses. "I had to get my revenge, too. I just don't think I'm supporting cast, homosexual or otherwise."
Knocking lightly on the door, Shun held it open for Haruhi when they were given the affirmation to enter. After the nurse informed them that she was made aware of their current situations, she motioned over to an area concealed by drapes, politely requesting them to disrobe for their chest measurements.
After entering the curtained area adjacent to Haruhi's, Shun quickly slipped off her blue uniform jacket, letting it fall to the ground. She had just finished undoing the buttons of her white undershirt when she heard Haruhi's startled voice, followed by the thumping of shoes.
"Haruhi! Are you okay?" Shun asked, worry lining her voice. Without thinking, she pushed past the curtain, only to witness Tamaki yell 'Tama-chan Kick!' as he slammed his foot into the face of a shabby-looking doctor.
"What the—" Shun sputtered, swiveling around when she heard the twins' voices behind her.
Both of them moved in front of her, each placing a hand on her shoulder in a protective gesture. "One: good looks that attract the public eye."
"Two," Kyouya said, stepping out from the shadows. "More wealth than you could imagine."
"Three: chivalry that will never be able to overlook—" Mori started in a deep voice.
"—the hideous crimes of this world," Honey finished intimidatingly.
Tamaki passed Haruhi and draped his shirt over her head. "That's what makes up the Ouran Host Club!"
The other hosts had all gathered around Shun and Haruhi. "We're here. Watch out!" they all said simultaneously.
The doctor gulped, his knees knocking together as they trembled in fear. "Please don't hurt me! Spare me my life!" he pleaded as he bowed to the floor. Before anybody could react, he began reciting his life story in a depressing manner.
Nobody really asked, Shun thought as he continued, explaining how his wife and daughter had left him, so he was searching for his daughter in order to see her again. In the midst of Tamaki rushing forward with tears of sympathy running down his cheeks, Kyouya lifted his gaze slightly.
"Dr. Yabu, I think you may have the wrong place," he said. "Are you looking for Ouran Public High School?"
Yabu glanced up at Kyouya in slight confusion. "Yeah, that's right."
"I figured that might be the case. This is Ouran Academy, a private institution. Your daughter doesn't go to school here," Kyouya informed him. A shocked expression quickly replaced the one of confusion on Yabu's face.
Shun watched as Tamaki stood up. "Kyouya, would you please find a map of all the public schools in this area? I'd like to help this man find his daughter," he said with a strange softness. Shun glanced up at Tamaki in surprise. I've never seen this side of Tamaki-senpai before.
Kyouya smiled slightly as he turned away. "Whatever you say."
The host club watched as Yabu continued on his way, walking down the petal-laden path of Ouran Academy.
"Are you sure about this?" Hikaru wondered aloud.
"After all, even if he does find his daughter, there's no guarantee she'll want to speak to him," Kaoru carried on.
Tamaki's gaze was fixated on the retreating figure of Yabu. "Well then, that's something he'll just have to find out by himself," he answered.
Shun grinned to herself. I guess these guys aren't so bad, she thought as she turned to face the hosts.
"Can you guys get out now?" she requested bluntly. The host club collectively jumped back in shock.
"Are you still angry at us? You and Haruhi aren't thinking of quitting the host club, are you?" Tamaki asked with a panicked expression on his face.
Chuckling, Haruhi turned around. "Don't be stupid, senpai. We've just got to finish our physical exams." She smiled and tilted her head upwards. "As male students, of course." The rest of the hosts were smiling as well, although Tamaki looked a bit distressed. "But don't think I'm doing this just because you're bribing me with food," she continued. "I'm doing it to pay back my debt!"
Tamaki blushed and leapt at Haruhi with outstretched arms, narrowly missing taking Shun down with her. "You're so cute, Haruhi!" Tamaki gushed. "I can see right through you! I know you just want that fancy tuna!"
"Cut it out, senpai!" Haruhi protested as she attempted to wiggle free. "Hey, don't touch me there!"
Shun's eyes flashed red. "Taa-maa-kii," she growled, her fingers curling into a fist.
"Red card!" the twins chorused.
"Looks like Tamaki-senpai—"
"—is the real pervert!"
"That's enough!" Shun shouted as she punched Tamaki in the chin with alarming ferocity. "Get out of here already, morons!"
