Chapter 6: Haruhi's Chit-chat

A little calm down chapter. I wrote this at school, pretty much after I wrote a test, so yeah. Good fun, good fun. They have blocked there though, so I had to wait until now. So here we go.

After the twins, I felt ready to give up my investigation. I decided "Hey, maybe they're all crazy, and I don't want to get mixed up in this crowd." I then mentally mapped out who was left… Tamaki… no, not yet… Kyoya…hmm, maybe? And then Haruhi... quiet, slavish Haruhi. Nah, I'd already dealt with a majority of the whack-os, I can handle the last three.

I entered the room, expecting only the worst. However, yesterday's theme had completely disappeared from the room, returning the club to normal (or shall I say its natural state?). Thank god I wasn't the first today, and thank god to the highest that Tamaki hadn't spotted me yet.

I meekly approached Haruhi, who looked up at me, almost stunned at first. He then smiled coolly saying "So, it's my turn today?"

Sitting with Haruhi was probably the calmest day of them all. While Takashi was quiet, it was almost nerve racking, while Haruhi would talk, and not freak me out.

From these conversations, however, I noticed Haruhi was far different then the other hosts.

Haruhi, for one, had a girly voice. Yes, Huni does too, but he is also a midget. I just couldn't imagine such a distinctly feminine voice on Haruhi. Second, he gave off a different vibe than the other hosts. While they gave off the 'host' vibe, Haruhi's was more of a 'friend' vibe, leading me back to girly.

Haruhi eventually noticed my stares, but skillfully broke the awkwardness of the situation. "Did you have fun with Kaoru and Hikaru yesterday?" Haruhi sipped his tea.

I nodded half heartedly. "How can they turn the tears off and on like a faucet, I wonder..?"

"Hmm… must be the eye drops... Oh oops…"Haruhi stared up at me. "Err… pretend you didn't hear that..." and he laughed.

Ah... it's all falling into place. "Umm... sure, nothing at all! May I ask you a question though?" I smiled at Haruhi, trying out some girlish charm.

"As long as it's not to invasive, sure," Charm had zero effect.

I was stunned, but continued. "Why does Tamaki always flock me at the door? And what does Kyoya write in his book?"

Haruhi shrugged in response. "Tamaki's…eccentric. Usually he's the first host for all new comers, you must be worrying him by avoiding him," He paused. "Kyoya... that one is a mystery. I think he is tallying up my debt and repayments..." Haruhi stopped all together.

"Debt? Is that why you joined the club?"

Haruhi gave a defeated sigh. "Yeah, or else this would be the last club I'd join..."

Haruhi was fun to talk to. I learned more about the other hosts, which I planned to use to my advantage. Instinctively, from Haruhi's girlish vibe, I decided to hug him goodbye.

When we finished, Tamaki did his customary harassment, disappointed I hadn't requested him today either.

As I left, I though 'that hug with Haruhi... Did he have boobs?!'

Oh noes! Our heroine is discovering Haruhi's secret! Kind of! Stay tuned for... Tamaki!
