Hikaru's POV
"She's coming, she's coming!" yells Honey-senpai. "The new princess is coming!"
We all look at him, who was running back and forth across the room.
"Calm down, Mitsukuni." Mori-senpai says calmly.
"But Takashi, the new princess is coming!"
Mori-senpai raises an eyebrow at him. "Why are you so worried about that?"
"Don't you remember? Tamaki said we have to make sure she stays away from Haru-chan."
"I think he was just talking to the twins.."
"No Takashi! I want to be useful too."
Mori-senpai then knelt down and patted him on the head.
"Don't worry Mitsukuni. Just do your best in the host club, that's all you need to do to be useful."
"Really, Takashi?" asks Honey-senpai looking up at Mori-senpai with eyes glimmering like a child who just got a new toy.
"Of course."
"Alright then! I'll do my best!"
Girls started squealing. They gathered around the two as if moths drawn to a flame.
"Aw Honey, you're so adorable!"
"But Honey-senpai, you are useful!"
"Mori-senpai, that's so nice of you! You really are like an older brother to him."
"Awwww!"
So there they were, cooing over the two seniors and Honey-senpai seemed to have forgotten about the new girl coming in. Even I almost forgot about the task the boss just gave us earlier.
That was until…
"Hello everyone."
Hmm?
I turn around to find the boss standing beside a girl whose eyes were crafted with a beautiful shade of hazel and long black hair adorning her head. Her bangs covered part of the right side of her face, which was kind of a shame, really.
Tamaki clears his throat. "Everyone, this is Ms. Masami Yuka. She'll be joining us here in Ouran Academy from now on." He smiles.
Everyone looks at her. I can tell she's really uncomfortable with that as she holds the boss by his shoulder and steps partially behind him. All the girls stare at her seemingly unamused, their insecurity plastered across their faces.
"It's alright, princess." Tamaki assures her. "Come on, I'll take you to meet some of our members."
She nods, a slight smile visible on her lips. So this is the girl, huh? The boss then leads her to where Kaoru and I are standing. Big surprise.
I place my arm in front of my stomach and bow as Kaoru does the same thing. "Nice to meet you, princess Yuka." We both say at the same time.
"I'm not a princess, silly!" she giggles. "And I'm fine with being called Masami."
"Oh but here in the host club, we observe proper manners." Says the boss as he grabs her hand. "And besides, every girl is treated like a princess here." he lightly places a kiss on the back of her hand.
"Is that so..?" she smiles.
Her eyes scan the room. "Wow, this club seems really nice."
Kyouya steps in. "You can come in anytime you want and request a host. Of course, you can also do it on the school's website."
"Oh that's simply lovely, thank you."
"So, princess, may we have the pleasure of being your first hosts?" I ask as I give her my most innocent smile.
I watch her carefully. She seems kinda confused.
"Oh dear, how terribly rude of us. We haven't introduced ourselves yet, have we? I'm Kaoru Hitachiin."
"…I'm Hikaru."
"And we're… the Hitachiin Brothers!" we say, holding our hands out.
She doesn't say anything. She looks at Kaoru, puzzled.
She tilts her head a bit, "I thought you were Kaoru?" she points at my brother.
My eyes widen, my mouth falls slightly agape. I couldn't say anything. How did she..?
"We met at lunch… At least I think you were the one I met."
Neither I nor Kaoru, who was looking down, say a word. I look at him, waiting for an answer.
"Well... umm, were… you..?"
A few seconds of silence that seemed so long fell upon us. Kaoru kept his head down as Masami and I just stood there.
"That's right." Kaoru finally replies.
Thoughts were rambling in my head right then. When did they meet? And why didn't Kaoru tell me?
"Oh thank goodness." She let out a sigh. "I would've been so embarassed if I forgot how you look like right after we met."
"My, someone who can tell Kaoru from Hikaru? That's certainly amazing!" Tamaki interrupts.
"Really? You mean, no one else can tell?"
"Well, certainly not no one. I've managed to tell them apart before." He says, smiling.
"That was simply a lucky guess and you know it." Now Kyouya butted in.
The boss laughs, "Yeah, you're right… But so far, the only people who have managed to tell them apart just by looking are you and… Well, Haruhi."
"...Haruhi?"
"Yes, Haruhi Fujioka. He's another host club member. But he's a special case." Explains Kyouya.
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"Unlike the rest of the students here at Ouran Academy, Fujioka got in through a scholarship. He's not very wealthy, you see…... He's, well… A commoner, you might say."
"Are you guys talking about me again?"
Everyone turns their head to the door.
"HARUHI!" the boss exclaims as he runs over to her.
"Haruhi…" my brother and I mumble together.
"Where have you been, Haruhi?!" Tamaki asks furiously. "Daddy was terribly worried you decided to skip out on us."
"As you can see, that's Haru-chan!" Honey says as Mori steps in carrying him on his back.
"Well, this isn't exactly free period so as soon as I finished lunch, I went to turn in all my extra homework. Plus I headed to the library to find a book for history so…"
"YOU SHOULD'VE AT LEAST TOLD ME! THAT'S IT, NEXT TIME I'M SITTING WITH YOU AT LUNCH, GOT IT?!"
Honey covers his mouth trying to hide his laughter but it was still very audible.
"What are you talking about, senpai? Haruhi asks, one of her eyebrows twitching."
She tries to push Tamaki away but the boss ended up holding her tighter even more.
"…So that's Haruhi Fujioka." Says Masami.
I look at her. She has a smile on her face as she watched the boss and Haruhi. Then suddenly, her focus was on something totally different. It's hard to tell what it is but it's as if she just thought of something.
She turns to Kyouya. "Excuse me but… What should I call you..?"
"Ootori would be fine, thank you."
Who the heck calls him Ootori?
"Alright. Ootori-senpai, I'd like to request a host."
"Very well. And which one would you like?"
"I'd like to request… Haruhi Fujioka, please."
