AN: Okay not much to answer to and I haven't found anymore major mistakes so on to the story.
Chapter Five
Pranks Make Sparks on Ice
Saelyun scribbled down the last piece of information from the board just before the final bell sounded. 'End of the day finally.' She thought, arching the tension out of her back. It felt like she had been waiting a life time for the end of the day to come.
As she packed up her books and pencil case she went over the directions that Haruhi had given her to the Host Club earlier. Saelyun was pretty sure she knew where she was going, but didn't want to take any chances. She was the last one out of the room so she wasn't worried about running into Mr. I-can-freeze-oceans-with-one-look. God he got to her for some reason. Like nails on a chalkboard.
Once outside the room she looked around for her target. 'Bingo.' She sighed in relief. Only a short distance from her was a group of giggling girls, saying something along the lines of roses and which type they had chosen.
Saelyun deducted that these girls were talking about the Host Club. Saelyun plastered a smile on her face as she approached the girls with confidence, but not too much that she would frighten them.
"Excuse me ladies, but as you can see I'm new here and was wondering if you could help me?" Saelyun breezed out in a sweet yet mellow voice. All of the eyes of the girls in the group grew large. 'Wow news does travel fast around here.' Saelyun mentally said to herself. One of the girls snapped out of her shock and answered Saelyun.
"We would be honored to help you. What is it we can do for you?" The young girl bowed to Saelyun, showing respect to her for a reason that was lost to Saelyun.
"I am looking for the Host Club." Half the group of girls swooned hearing this. "But I can't seem to remember Haruhi's directions for the life of me, and I promised to meet him there." Only one girl was left standing by the time Saelyun had finished her explanation. 'I really should have been a boy.' She chided to herself
"Oh how wonderful. We were just heading there ourselves and would love for you to accompany us on the walk there." The last girl standing said. Suddenly all the fainted girls popped up giving their agreements that Saelyun should accompany them on the way there. Saelyun sweat dropped. 'I just had to pick a group of not only customers, but crazy fan girls!' Saelyun chastised herself mentally as the girls pretty much dragged her along to the Host Club.
At the Host Club…………
Things were going as normal, minus the questioning stares Haruhi was getting from every member of the Host Club. Haruhi had avoided any interactions with the other members by 'accidently' running into her first client of the day and offering to escort her to the Host Club. Another thing that didn't go beyond her notice was that Kyoya seemed to be in rather dark mood as he typed away on his laptop furiously.
"Haru-chan?" Haruhi's client, Claire, said.
"Yes Claire?" Haruhi replied setting her tea cup down gingerly. Claire looked around the room, seemingly hesitant to ask her question.
"Are you dating the new student in 1-A?" Claire spat out quickly. Everything in the Host Club came to a stand still, like someone had just announced they were actually from Mars. All attention was now on Haruhi and her client. A clock somewhere ticked as the seconds drew out, still Haruhi waited to answer.
"Well actually…" Haruhi began to say.
The door to the Host Club burst open as about 20 fan girls ran in screaming, moeing, and everything else girls do when they go romance crazy. Slowly a figured appeared after them in the doorway, a bright smile on her face. Haruhi also smiled and rose from her seat.
"Saelyun I am so pleased you found the Host Club. Have any trouble getting here?" Haruhi asked as she made her way over to the door.
"None at all. Those lovely ladies over there showed me the way here." Haruhi laughed. If Saelyun would have been able to pass off as a guy she would have been made a host and given Tamaki big competition as the most designated.
The fan girls blushed at Saelyun's compliment and then most passed out when Haru-chan turned to them and said. "Thank you ladies for escorting this goddess to my humble palace."
The six men in the Host Club could not believe what they were witnessing. Multiples of gooey-eyed girls rushed over to Kyoya demanding that Haruhi become their new designate. All the other Hosts sweat dropped. Tamaki was red, he had just lost loyal clients, had tea spilled on him by girls running to change hosts and Haruhi may be a lesbian, ruining any chance he may have never had. That was the breaking point.
"Ladies due to the sudden change in designates the club will be closing so that a new schedule can be created to meet all of your needs!" Tamaki announced, still managing to keep himself in Host mode as to not scare off their clients. Or Haruhi's clients now. The ladies let out moans and sighs of protest as Tamaki and the twins ushered all the girls out of the club, leaving only the Hosts and Saelyun in the room.
"HARUHI!!" Tamaki shouted grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her vigorously. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US! YOUR OWN FAMILY!" Tamaki continued to yell and shake Haruhi until Mori picked the 'King' up and released Haruhi from his grasp. Though little shaken up, literally, Haruhi refused to break from her role.
"I was hoping that you senpai, of all people, would accept Saelyun into our family since she is very special to me." Haruhi sighed at Tamaki. He in turn went to his corner and sulked. Kyoya now walked up to the girls, who were standing next to each other. He shot Saelyun a very harsh icy glare before he addressed Haruhi.
"If this is what you have chosen Haruhi, then I am going to have to ask you to pay off your remaining debt immediately." Kyoya ordered. Haruhi faltered a little. She hadn't expected this from the 'Shadow King'. This ultimatum came out of no where Haruhi thought. Not missing a beat Saelyun chimed in. Grabbing Haruhi's hand she brought it to her lips and placed a small kiss on it.
"Don't worry my love. I will pay off your debt." A gasp came from the Host Club, could they really be losing their dear Haruhi to another woman? Saelyun spoke softly again as she brought Haruhi into a tight embrace. "No price is too high to pay for you my soul mate." 6 jaws hit the floor. Even Mori's did.
"I can only see one problem we can't over come." Saelyun continued.
"And what would that be, darling?" Haruhi cooed back. Huge smiles broke across the girls faces. The men waited, and waited, and waited.
"I'm not a lesbian." Saelyun said.
"Neither am I." Haruhi commented back. Hunny spat out the cake he was eating, Mori fell off his chair, Tamaki fainted, Hikaru and Kaoru trip over the carpet they had been walking by and Kyoya's note pad clatter onto the floor.
"Well we gave it our best shot." Saelyun chirped and shrugged her shoulders. Haruhi smirked as she and Saelyun broke apart. A few seconds went by as the girls examined the scene before them. The normally very composed and smooth Host Club members were now all over the place.
Quite literally too. The girls couldn't take it anymore, they cracked. It started as small giggles and then progressed into full out on the floor rolling belly laughs. Both girls were having great difficulty breathing.
"You mean…" Tamaki had come out of his sulk it would seem. "…this was all just a joke?" His voice had risen a few octaves by the end of his sentence. The Host Club members had began to move in on the two girls, one of which got to her feet fast and the other who was moving to the side little by little. Haruhi, being the one standing, began backing up as the boys closed in on her.
Saelyun figured now would be an appropriate time to make an escape, since no one was paying attention to her at the moment. Scanning the room she spotted what she was looking for. 'Perfect.' Silently she moved over to where the object of her interest lay.
"Haruhi what were you thinking you almost gave us a heart attack!" Hikaru shouted leering down on the petite brunette who was now cornered in the room by six sort of angry men. She didn't get a chance to reply.
"This is going to be added to your debt since we had to close early." Kyoya reprimanded. 'Always with the debt thing!' Haruhi thought.
"Actually," A voice called from somewhere behind the group. "By my calculations I would have to say the opposite. With this new dimension to Haruhi's character more girls have already signed up online for the Host Club. Haruhi being their designation of course." The voice finished off. The Host Club members looked around the room trying to figure out where the voice was coming from.
"And how is it that you have come across this knowledge?" Kyoya snapped hotly.
"Well frosty," The voice snapped back at Kyoya. "It would seem that now the girls see Haruhi as attainable, so they want to spend time with a Host they may actually have a shot at. Host Club revenue is going to increase dramatically because of this." The voice finished off smartly. Kyoya spotted the voice bearer, Saelyun as he now concluded, sitting at a table with her back facing everyone. She was leaning over something that was blocked from view by her body.
"What makes you think that your calculations are correct?" Kyoya fumed. She may have been right in Physics but there was no way she was right about the Host Club profit margin.
"Your programs do." Saelyun said flatly as she turned to face 'frosty'. She was now sitting sideways on the chair looking at the blank expression on Kyoya's face. He obviously didn't understand what she meant. So Saelyun leaned back to reveal what she had been leaning over on the table. For the first time in his life Kyoya was shocked into silence. There sitting in front of Saelyun on the table was Kyoya's laptop.
A dark aura enveloped Kyoya. Everyone knew he was now in low-blood-pressure-evil 'Shadow King' mode, and they all backed away from where he was standing. Even Haruhi took cover behind one of the red plush chairs. NO ONE, EVER touched Kyoya's laptop, let alone used it without his permission. And he never gave anyone permission. The only one unfazed by the sudden drop in the room's temperature was Saelyun. Kyoya clinched his fist as he slowly started to walk to the table where Saelyun was seated.
"You are either really brave or really dumb young lady." Kyoya said, ice lacing every word. "More the latter I believe."
"Well I believe we figured out who between us is the dumb one in Physics." Saelyun countered her eyes blazing. The twins gasped from their location under a table. They had never seen someone take on Kyoya. And without body armor no less. They saw Kyoya's fist clench tighter, the twins put on battle helmets. Things were going to get ugly.
"Dumb is someone who has no idea who they are dealing with." Kyoya gritted out. He was now standing right in front of her, towering over her in fact since she was still sitting. Saelyun met him head on, standing up she was only 2 inches shorter then Kyoya.
"Well dumb maybe," Saelyun seethed out. "…but a coward is someone who assumes because of name alone they are a threat."
Kyoya quickly reached onto the table and snatched up his laptop, subconsciously aware that Saelyun didn't flinch or back away from him as he reached around her. Straightening up Kyoya stared into a set of deep green eyes whose fierce fire matched his chilling cold ones.
The two were standing so close now that Saelyun felt Kyoya's next words dance across her lips. "It doesn't matter what name I have, it is still attached to me. And that is more of a threat then anything." Unnoticeable to Kyoya a small shiver ran down Saelyun's spin.
With that he walked out of the Third Music room, leaving one girl fuming and six people hiding under, and behind various pieces of furniture. A white flag popped out from behind a chair, waving back and forth slowly. Tamaki wasn't going to risk being on the end of a girl's wrath who was even a match for Kyoya. He may be bit odd but he wasn't suicidal.
AN: YAY! Another chapter finished! Thank you for the reviews from everyone and I want to mention that even if I have already updated a new chapter please feel free to answer pervious questions from other chapters! Hope this is the kind of encounter you were looking for!
Question:
What kind of revenge should Kyoya take on Saelyun?
Also Saelyun will be playing a part in the Host Club, but she won't be a member obviously cause like I said earlier, there is no way she could pass for a boy!
