When the twin girls walked away, the others looked at each other for a moment before taking their seats at their regular places. When the club opened, Kyoya announced the new addition of twins to the crowd. Girls and boys came in to talk to everyone. Kimi and Rimi were paired with two guys. Kimi fidgeted nervously, but managed to smile towards the end and wave good bye to them. As the next two guys came and sat down across from them, Kimi felt sick to her stomach. Sitting across from her was him. The one who had hurt her so horribly before. He was staring at her and she wanted to die. Rimi noticed her discomfort and looked over at her twin, who was now shaking. Tamaki noticed Kimi's behavior as well, and came over to check on her.
"I'm sorry, but your appointment will have to be moved until tomorrow. We're having scheduling problems at the moment." Tamaki waited until the boys were gone to turn to the twins. A few silent tears slid down Kimi's cheeks and Rimi hugged her. A few other girls gathered around, asking Kimi what was wrong.
Kaoru came over and pushed Rimi out of the way to hug one side of her, while Hikaru hugged the other side. Rimi jumped up right as Kimi started to freak out.
"You're scaring her! She's still freaked out! That guy sitting across from her was her ex!" The rest of the club froze and the girls looked confused. Rimi re-explained how Kimi's ex had beaten her and how she would step in for her sister. The guys who were in there nearly fainted when Rimi hugged Kimi and kissed her cheek. Kimi managed to stop crying and looked around at the big crowd. She hid behind Rimi, hating all the attention.
"Ok, ok. Nothing to see here folks!" Rimi stated, trying to help out her shy twin. After the club session had ended, Haruhi walked over to the two girls.
"Wow. I'm really sorry about earlier. We'll try to keep him out of the club. And if Tamaki plays his cards right, he can get that guy kicked out of the school." Kimi looked over at Haruhi and gave her a grateful smile.
"Thank you." Rimi stated. "That means a lot to us." Haruhi nodded and Rimi went over to talk to Kyoya about Kimi's ex, leaving Kimi all alone. Hikaru and Kaoru walked over and sat on either side of Kimi.
"We're really sorry about today." Kaoru said.
"Do you talk?" Hikaru asked Kimi gently.
"Yes." Kimi replied quietly.
"Oh. Why don't you ever talk?" Kaoru asked her.
"I don't like attention." She stated softly.
