The Host Club's Unwelcome Guest

Part 3:

Rea:

The two red heads circled me, eyeing me. I knew who they were from what Haruhi had told me. Hikaru and Kaoru Hittachiin were in the same year and class as Haruhi. If I remember correctly their known troublemakers, they like to play pranks and make people their toys. I suppose I have become their new target. Hehe bring it, I am in a sour mood and I'd like to vent it.

"You're not what we'd expect," the twins said in unison. That made me grin.

" That's good I don't like the expected," I replied causing Haruhi to smile. "If you're trying to intimidate me with this little circling game, it's not going to work. I don't scare that easily."

"Hmm," came from the red heads. The twins stopped circling. I watched out of the side of my eye as the two of them eyed each other. They came to some silent agreement and turned back to me.

"We don't scare you," they asked.

"You're looking for a new "toy". Good luck toying with me; I am far more connected with reality than Haruhi."

After my comment, the twins looked up at each other shrugged then walked off. It seems I have won this battle a little too easily. Oh well. I turned back to Haruhi. She gave me half grin. I returned hers with a wide grin of my own. A tall blond stepped in front of me blocking off my view of my friend. He looked me over. I rolled my eyes. All I wanted to do was talk to Haruhi. I should have known coming to see Haruhi at the Host Club would give me a headache. I heaved a sigh and looked Tamaki Souh in his blue eyes.

Tamaki the club's "king" more like the poster boy. He narrowed his eyes. I remember Haruhi talking about this blond. She says he's a pain in the side. That he is an irritant. Well I can see that. But what Haruhi doesn't see is that when she talks about him her face brightens. I think she is slowly falling for this blue eyed blond, she's just to naïve to see it.

"How long have you known Haruhi," he asked.

"Since elementary." Tamaki's eyes glistened with excitement.

"What was she like?" I shifted to the side to look over at Haruhi. She watched us, suspicion clouding her usual bright eyes. I turned back to Tamaki.

"Pretty much the same, she preferred books over people."

"And you," someone asked from behind. I turned and focused my gaze on the one who caught me before. Looking at him from a distance didn't help. I could still feel the pull of him/ I looked him over. Tall frame, slender but well built, a face stiff with self-control, dark eyes hidden behind glassed, with black short hair. For some reason I found myself itching to break a smile across his cute, well controlled face.

I was the attention seeker. I was always in some kind of trouble. How the bookwork came to be friends with the troublemaker is a mystery even to us." A smile spread across my lips as memories flooded my conscious.

Kyoya:

Rea's eyes sparkled, her lips broke into a shinning smile, I was captured. I couldn't pull my gaze from her. Her eyes meet mine before quickly flicking back to Tamaki.

"Do you have any pictures," Tamaki asked bringing me out of my odd state. Noticing the twins edging closer I decided to intervene.

"Hikaru, Kaoru how are your guests doing," I asked flipping my notebook open. Their eyes widen as if the forgot about our customers. I clicked my tongue in disapproval. They gave Rea a longing look before trotting off to the patently waiting girls.

"That goes for you too Tamaki. Miss Elena looks a bit put out. Be sure she leaves here happy." Straightening Tamaki gave me his most charming smile and with a great sweeping movement turned to Miss Elena. With Tamaki out of their way, the two girls moved closer together and started to talk.

"Haruhi," I said interrupting their conversation. The two girls looked up at me. I tried to ignore Rea's gaze. "Don't forget your guests." The two of them looked over at the three girls watching them curiously. It was obvious the three girls thought Rea was Haruhi's girlfriend. They looked devastated.

"I'll give you a call tonight," Haruhi said turning back to Rea.

"You better since we'll be discussing how you are going to make it up to me."

"And I will, somehow."

Rea laid her hand on Haruhi's shoulder before letting it fall back to her side. Haruhi smiled then turned back to her guests. Rea watched her for a couple minutes before turning to leave. She tried to ignore me, for some reason that bothered me. I am a host, I might as well act like it. I approached her.

"I'll walk you out," I said as charming as I could.

Before she was able to answer Honey sempi had thrown himself at her.
