Ch Five: Dramatic Interruption
Haruhi thought it was a little odd pretending to be THAT to him. It was even odder acting lovey dovey, which was so out of character for her. The oddest thing of all was how Tamaki had to act towards Haruhi. He was so serious, at times cold. They were just going through the script right now:
Misty: Eric! It's me! I finally made it!
Eric: Hey Misty
Misty: Oh Eric, I'm so glad to be with you.
Eric: Glad you are here too.
"No, No that's all wrong!" a female voice shouted. Haruhi slightly cringed. She turned to see Renge stomping towards her. "Haruhi," she scolded and pulling out a megaphone she added, "MORE DRAMATIC!"
Haruhi took in a deep breathe, "Hello Renge,"
"Oh Renge," Tamaki greeted, "May inquire what brings your presences here?" Renge turned; she put a finger right in his face.
"Traitor," was all she said to him. His world seemed to disappear in that very moment. He felt his knees go weak. Self esteem dropped quiet a few notches. He became a white and could be found leaning against the corner of a trailer.
Haruhi ignored the dramatics, "How did you get in here?" The director came up intervening the answer Haruhi wanted.
"Renge," he stated crossing arms, "How's my son doing with the band?"
"Damn rich people and their connections," Haruhi muttered to herself, realizing that explained everything.
"Yes, well his doing fine," she began, "Our band is going to be number one here in the states in no time, as well. Thanks to your American son. He has been a wonderful asset to our band." Renge stood with one leg on a stool the other on the ground, "Victory shall be ours!"she shouted as she held a V sign in the air.
The director smiled, "That's great, but what the hell are you doing on my set?" he furiously inquired, forgetting of the friendly exchange earlier. Her attention directed towards to Haruhi.
"What does it matter how I got here, I am here!" she replied, "I shall help Haruhi get into character." Renge then shook Haruhi shoulders, "I will make you a great actress! Alright, Tamaki and Haruhi from the top!" The director looked at her slightly annoyed. He however just waved it all off. Renge's antics were nothing new to him, most of the time they were a benefit. Letting her do what she wanted, would be okay for now.
"We are just going over the script," Haruhi complained her brows narrowing on her big puppy eyes. She frowned before sighing. There was no fighting Renge.
Misty: Eric! It's me! I finally made it!
She was more excited, and cheerful.
"No, no," Renge yelled again. Tamaki blinked his eyes in confusion, he thought Haruhi's portrayl was perfect; maybe he did something wrong. No, he hadn't said a word yet.
The bossy girl stood in front of them. She then grabbed Haruhi's hand and placed it on Tamaki's arm. Hearts beat faster, out of nervousness or excitement it was unsure. The handsome blonde will have to try profusely to ignore the existence of her hand upon his arm. However, the wonderful feeling made it nearly impossible. Regardless, he was a professional.
"You are supposed to act clingy," she explained, "and Tamaki is going to act like it doesn't matter." Haruhi simply nodded, despite the pain that seemed to crawl its way into her heart at that thought. "Good let's do it again,"
Misty: Eric! I'm here! I finally made it!
Eric: Hey Misty
His voice was cold and slightly annoyed. Haruhi briefly wondered if she appeared hurt.
Misty: I'm so glad you're here
She latches onto his arm, while he looks off in the distance. Somehow Haruhi plasters a bright smile.
Eric: I'm glad you're here, too
Misty: Oh Eric, things are going to be so great now that we are together again.
She let out a slight giggle.
Eric: Yeah, I guess
Misty: What's wrong Eric?
"Oooh," Renge squealed, "much better Haruhi! Now let's see um maybe you should…,"
"Tamaki!" Lionel shouted running towards them. "We must go now!" he grabbed him by the arm jerking removing him from his beloved Haruhi.
However, the demanding Renge would not have this. "Wait a minute," she latched onto his other arm, "you have to finish the scene!"
The director spoke up, "Renge, it was just a read through,"
"I don't care, he must finish," She yanked once more.
"We have a schedule to keep," he pulled Tamaki in the opposite direction. The Host King was trying to break free, but failed miserably.
"Renge, Lionel," Haruhi began, but they ignored her. Standing there, she couldn't help but pity Tamaki..
"Schedule or not this is more important," Renge insisted glaring at the French man.
"Renge," the female host girl tried again.
"I will not have you throw me off schedule you dumb…girl," he managed to spurt out being come backs really weren't his thing.
"Oh please you French idiot, this is a great movie, there couldn't possible be anything more important!"
"STOP!" Haruhi yelled, surprising everyone especially Tamaki. The two let go of him letting him fall to the ground. "Senpai," she spoke plainly, as she pulled a piece of paper from her pocket "well, don't forget this." She handed him a piece of paper that contained all her contact information. That she found very precious. His mood was instantly joyous. .
"Oh Haruhi!" he hugged her once more, "How sweet! You were concerned, and now you gave me your number,"
She sighed though slightly smiling, "I could always take it back, if you don't let me go right now," he released her immediately.
"Oh no Haruhi," He drew the paper closer to him, holding as if it was some wonderful treasure he discovered. "No, I'll never let this go!" he exclaimed shaking his head.
Tamaki sighed. Looking at his schedule, he was completely amazed. There were only three things, but it would take all day. He had another photo shoot today, then a meeting with some important men from the agency. After that a interview T.V. show . Perhaps, he could get Haruhi to come with him. After that, he will be back at work on the movie for some romantic night scenes with Alice.
The limo stopped waking him to reality. He noted they had arrived at the desire location with time to spare. Why did Lionel always act like they were going to be late? They almost always ended up early. Unless a stunt was pulled by the king, a smile graced at a past memory.
The limo was nice and comfy compared to the cold outdoors. Tamaki's thoughts briefly drifted to Haruhi at the sound of the thunder. Thunder, meeting Haruhi made him extremely anxious to see her again. Bing needed by her was one of rarest wonderful experience.
That Lionel was looking over his schedule again. Tamaki's career was just now taking off. Getting to everything on time was extremely important. Except parties, being late was pretty much required, along with the showy moves he would perform without difficulty.
Tamaki could barely see outside the window. He caught something small and yellowish. Then he saw it, big brown eyes. "Driver stop," Tamaki commanded immediately causing it to stop. The king leapt out of the vehicle. He searched franticly for the brown eyed creature.
Lionel had gotten out, with almost no grace. Panic clearly hitting him. He ran to Tamaki, "Minoseur!" he called chasing him. When he found his boss, he was surprised to find that Tamaki had a wet puppy in his arms. "Look, now you are soaked, this is going to put us behind schedule!"
Haruhi was exhausted from running all over campus talking to professors. They were very understanding. One of course asked for Tamaki's autograph. She thought, Sharon was the ultimate fan girl, but her professor was no doubt competion. The woman had squealed at what Haruhi was sure, an unnatural level.
She sighed deeply. It was just like Tamaki, or any of the host club members to turn her completely fixed life upside down. She smiled lightly, but what other way would she want it.
She was starting to get a bit bored lately. Now, with Tamaki in her life again, boredom won't visit so often. Though, Sharon had always kept things interesting before. Why was Tamaki's reappearance in my life so important?
Speaking of people turning her life upside down, where did Renge come from? That girl always had the ability to jump out of nowhere, but still wow. If she was able to do that how long would it before the others appear. She locked her car with a press of a button. Turning towards her apartment, in a flash a hand was on each shoulder. Her body was being pulled in another direction.
"I guess this answers my question," she muttered glaring up at the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru.
Author's Commentary: Anyone else getting tired of the chapters titles with the word limit in it? Anyhow thank you to my editor! Very Much! Now to the rest of you, the next chapter is actually completed! Gasp, yep just need to revise, edit, then sent off to be edited again.
