Chapter four "A Commoner's Life"

Tamaki's point of view

Hello my darling fans. Yes, I Tamaki Souh finally get to announce my side of the story. Last chapter briefly told my side, so now I will tell you more about my personal life. It all began when I was born. I had charming looks then too and my mother told me how beautiful I was and claimed me as her little prince.

Through out most of life, I practiced my beauty and education as well, but I lacked something. I wanted others to join in my beauty and admire it, so by the end of middle school year, I Tamaki asked Kyoya Ohtori if he wanted to join. He said yes and soon that was being of the Host Club. I then had to convince Mitsukuni Haninozuka otherwise known as Hunny and Takashi Morinozuka also known as Mori to join the club. I knew if Hunny joined, then Mori would follow. Once Hunny agreed, it was off to the twins. The Hitachiin twins were an interesting group. They focused on themselves than other people. I knew I had to change that. So, I used my ways and played a bet with him. Which one was Hikaru game, interesting, but I figured it out. I knew in time they would join and they did. Now, my beloved daughter Haruhi Fujioka, she was the only one I didn't have to ask to join. Her charm amazed me when she stepped in, even when I thought she was guy, I could tell she would make a great member. We all know the story of coarse when Haruhi joined, so I won't talk about it.

The Host Club, still holding on today. We had our laughs and disagreements, but now where a family. We're the weirdest family you will probably ever meet, but suddenly two members of our family took off and that's where we are now. You should all remember that Hunny-senpai and Mori-senpai weren't mentioned in our last chapter and we claimed they were gone. Well, I our lovely prince and my lackeys are going to search for them!

We ran down the halls of the lovely Ouran Academy. Each student talked about the hall way and as we ran, stared directly at us. They questioned each of us. Worried, not really, they were confused by the running is all. I had to doge in and out of people, plus let's not forget that I'm still inside Haruhi's body so my running slowed me down some notches. We opened doors, yet no sign of them. We checked the cafeteria to see if Hunny was eating cake, nope not there. Karate Cub, Third Music Room, Library and other places, yet no sign of Hunny or Mori-senpai any where.

"Dang it, we looked all over. Where could they have gone?" Haruhi asked breathless.

"Who knows? We did check the area where we left the machine and they weren't there. Do you think they got sick?" Kaoru asked.

"I don't think so. I checked the nurse's office and none of them checked out," Kyoya said, sounding brilliant as ever.

"MORI AND HUNNY-SENPAI, WHERE EVER YOU ARE, PLEASE COME OUT NOW!" I said as what felt like three windows crack from afar of my high and girl-ish voice echoed the room.

"Where right here Tama-chan. We just went out for some cake," Hunny said as he walked closer to us.

"Sorry we didn't tell you, Mitsukuni was craving cake badly, so I took him out. We would have called, but I left my phone in the room," Mori said cool in a calm tone.

"So we did all that running for nothing. What a joke," Hikaru exclaimed.

"It's getting late. We better get home," Kyoya said.

"Hehe, that means that me and Haruhi can have real fun tonight. Right buddy?" Hikaru said as he got closer and closer to Haruhi.

"HEY! LEAVE YOU GRUBBY FINGERS OFF MY DAUGHTER!"

"Relax boss, besides, we can have fun just as well. Think about, we can raid Haruhi's closet and play dress up," Kaoru exclaimed.

To my ears, that sounded so tempting and I could picture every moment, which I will show you.

Tamaki's mind theater presents another disturbing imagine

Tamaki's thoughts

"Oh Kaoru, doesn't Haruhi look adorable in this dress?"

"I know boss. She would look cuter in this outfit as well,"

Kaoru holds of frilly bikini suit they have wanted to see her in since like episode 10.

"You're right Kaoru! Let's have her try this on,"

"Remember boss, no peeking,"

End of Tamaki's thoughts

"Tamaki-senpai! Would you stop fantasying me in that bikini for once and pay attention!" Haruhi said and then hit me.

"Oww, why did you have to do that for?" I asked.

"Because you're an idiot and really need to get over that,"

I just turned and faced to my corner and began to pout.

"That won't work senpai. Besides, I have you appearance remember,"

I turned and gave the puppy dog look. Even if it wasn't my appearance, Haruhi's looks would make it even worse on them.

"Nope," Haruhi continued to say.

I turned again and flashed it wider.

"Alright fine, I give in,"

"Bark!"

"Ok senpai, I usually walk back to my house, but if your nice to Kaoru, maybe he can drive you back. When you get home there will be a list of chores I need to get done. While doing that, I usually start cooking dinner. Please try not to burn anything while you're over there. We can't pay for damages if you mess up,"

"Don't worry Haruhi! I won't make a mistake and neither will Kaoru,"

"Why are you dragging me into this?" Kaoru asked

"Because, you will want every thing to do with the commoner's life style as well and that will be to help me with chores. Plus, I want to see what you will look like in this maid outfit,"

"You can't be serious boss," Kaoru said embarrassed.

"Do I look serious my friend?" I asked Kaoru, hiding the fact that I was laughing on the inside.

"No,"

"Well then, you will put this outfit on!"

"Fine, but were walking home,"

He caught me off guard and suddenly I remained in my own sheltered corner in my own mind. It was dark, very dark. So we walked home. It was tiring. How do the commoner folk do this, I mean walk place to place. Can't they just take a care of taxi? Does it really cost that much to take a transportation?

We finally got home to the small and cozy "house" these commoner folk live in. I opened the door and removed my shoes and customary in a person's home. I began to read the list of chores asked of by Haruhi's father. Strange, there were some odd jobs here.

List of chores

First vacuum the floors and sweep the floor in the kitchen

Dust off all furniture in the house

Start the laundry

Wash every single one of my draws by hand

Clean the bathroom with Tamaki's toothbrush or Kaoru's toothbrush if he allows you to use it

Wash all the windows

Write "I'm loser" fifty times on paper

Lastly, start dinner.

Strange, it seemed like some where just recently added to the list and it wasn't his hand writing. Ahh, I know, he must have had some one else write it for him cause his hands were tired.

I began to do the chores that were asked of me. Dusted, cleaned and washed by hand. I was very grossed out by the washing underwear by hands and the fact that I had to get my toothbrush and clean the bathroom with it. Kaoru wouldn't let me use his and chuckled the whole time. I give Haruhi credit now, doing commoner's chores isn't easy at all. I began to make dinner. Seemed simple enough. Rice balls; never heard of it or had it to say the least.

Kaoru and I began to roll the rice into odd shaped balls and stuffed meat inside it and other things like vegetables and fruit. Haruhi told us to only cook the ones with meat and vegetables. So we did and we cooked it in the rice cooker. For once in my life, I can say I cooked a meal and a commoner's one at that.

"Haruhi I'm home! How is my little girl?" Ryoji exclaimed as he entered through the door.

"Alright boss, time to start acting like Haruhi," Kaoru whispered in my ear.

"Everything is fine dad," I called out from afar.

"Haruhi, you didn't tell me you were having guest over. Hello Kaoru, nice to see you again,"

"Nice to see you as well," Kaoru said with a dazzling smile. That little liar.

"Sorry dad, it was sort notice. We're working on a class experiment and he will be staying with us for a while till it's done," I said lying through my teeth.

"It's ok sweetie. I'm sure you got all the chores done?" he asked.

"Yep, but there a couple of strange ones, like washing your underwear by hand and cleaning the bathroom with my…I mean Tamaki-senpai's toothbrush,"

"I didn't put those things down,"

"If you didn't… Kaoru, can we talk alone for a minute," I said and started to pull him by the ear.

"I'm sorry boss, but I couldn't resist,"

"You little cheap skate. Next time you have me do that, I will have you clean out the Host Club's restroom with your toothbrush and I will have you rub my stinky feet, which hasn't been cleaned in over two months. I'm having a bet with your brother Hikaru on who can go the longest with smelly feet," I whispered back, still grinding my teeth together.

"Haruhi! Dinner is ready," Ryoji called out from the other room.

"Be right there," I called back.

I dragged Kaoru back into the other room and sat down at the table. The food smelled so good, looked good and was a commoner's cheap meal. I began to dig in, ripping away the ball of rice like a savage and yet princely cave man. I hadn't eaten such food since Haruhi introduced us to commoner's instant ramen back in manga number two, for those who haven't read the manga series. It was the best thing ever. I now declare that the Host Club will have rice balls every Thursday!

"Haruhi, all you alright? Looks like you haven't eaten in days," Ryoji asked me.

"I'm fine dad. I just never realized how good this meal is," I said still stuffing my mouth.

"Well don't forget, you still have to do the dishes," He said and left the table.

With that I cleaned the dishes. One by one like a poor commoner. However; I didn't see that they had a dish washer. Oh, better to learn the hard way than not at all. One by one I let them shine so that I can see Haruhi's reflection in the spotless dish. Her face is gorgeous, don't you agree? It is a flawless and I can now embrace on its beauty. Still, I do miss my own pretty face. The dishes were done and I went to the room. I couldn't wait to try on any and all outfits Haruhi had. The endless possibilities.

"Hey boss, I'm over here," Kaoru called from the other room.

I walked over to where Kaoru was standing and amazed myself to be standing in Haruhi's room. Although, I was in it earlier and found it strange, now I'm delighted to be here. The clothes ranged from boy-ish to more famine styles, styles that Haruhi wouldn't possible wear, even if it was a bet.

"So boss, I mean Haruhi, what do you want to try on first?" Kaoru asked.

"Well Kaoru, I think I will try this summer dress on, but don't peek," I said and motioned over to the light violet summer dress. It was a no strapped dress with little flowers at the ends of it. Small designs could be traced on the dress if you looked at it closely. I tired it on and looked in the mirror. I looked so cute! It made Haruhi stand out, show a side you possibly couldn't imagine. It reflected her skin nicely as well as her hair and eye color. Why couldn't my little girl dress more like this!?

"Wow Haruhi, you look amazing!" Kaoru exclaimed.

"I know and best of all, there is plenty more where that came from," I said with glee and pulled out every outfit.

The night continued, wearing and un-wearing all the outfits. They all made Haruhi pretty, even the ones you wouldn't expect to look good on her did any way. Her father surely knew how to dress his daughter. Even through I was having fun, I wondered how Hikaru and Haruhi were doing. Kaoru has never been separated from Hikaru before and they must be thinking the same thing by now.

It was finally late and we decided to end our little game. We lay on the unstill comfortable beds and gazed at the roof. Thoughts seemed to fill my empty head about the future. I knew that Haruhi and I are best friends, but could there be something more.
