OHSHC Meets Neko

I do not own OHSHC. This is just for enjoyment.

Chapter 2

Opening the door to her single room apartment, Neko led Nikki to the bathroom to clean her rash off.

"I can't believe you caught Usagi stealing from Rhys. Are you alright?" Nikki asked.

"I'm alright, let me see your arms, I have the Silvadine. Don't let her shove you around; your knight in satin armor won't always be there." A knock at the door interrupted her. As she went to answer it she fixed the baggy shirt she wore.

"Hello, my name is Ranka and this is Haruhi, welcome to the neighborhood!" A red headed woman said, presenting the quiet guy from the host club. Neko stood there for a moment before shaking her head and letting them in.

"Sorry for the mess, I've just moved in a few days ago and I'm right now dealing with some things. Welcome to my humble abode." She said.

"Neko, am I staying here, or do I need to call Jhoto?" Nikki asked, peaking out of the bathroom, her hair freely swinging out of their braids.

"Oh! You're just so cute! Is this your girlfriend, Neko?" Ranka asked.

Laughing, Neko answered "No, I see her more as a sister, and Jhoto would be mad if she was my girlfriend. Nikki, you get my bed, I'll take the couch again."

It took an hour, but Neko and Nikki were sitting down to watch the Harry Potter series, with their additions of course.

"Ooh! The sorting song!" Nikki shouted. (A/N: play The Sorting Hat by riddleTM)

"Do you ever miss your family?"

"Sometimes, but they're dead so I can't do anything. At least classes are cancelled for tomorrow. Don't know how I'd get up if I had them." Neko replied after a moment. "Dammit Harry! That's not how you handle a dog!"

Neko woke up to a weight on her stomach. Looking down she found Nikki with her head on her stomach facing up to her chest. It only took a minute for Nikki to wake up and see the position of her head.

"Like what you see?"

"EEEEKKK! Neko! Don't tease me like that!"

"Something woke me up, you want me to cook?" With a nod from Nikki, Neko went to get up, only pausing when the doorbell rang. Covering Nikki with the blanket, she walked to the door and blinked at who was on the other side.

"Neko-Chan! Do you want to go to the water park with us?!" the kid from yesterday stood there with his tall silent friend in swim trunks and a snorkel mask.

"Hey Babushka, can Nikki come with?" she asked. When she got a nod she leaned into the apartment and called "Hey Nikki! Get your suit on and call your boyfriend! We're going to a water park!"

"Blue or yellow?!" Nikki called.

"Blue! It'll bring out your eyes! Let me grab my swim trunks and shirt and we'll go." She ducked back into her apartment and put on her emerald green trunks and green and silver striped shirt after wrapping her chest. Stepping out with Nikki in her bikini and sarong, they climbed into Hani's car and drove to the park. It only took five minutes before Neko jumped into the current pool.

"Nikki! Join me in the merry making!" she yelled before going under and popping back up with a splash.

"Let me put our things down!" Nikki said.

Neko sat on her towel fiddling with a small contraption. It looked like a mini vacuum attached to a scuba mask.

"Hey, what're you working on?" Haruhi asked.

"I'm trying to fix my brothers water to air machine. It takes in the water and turns it into breathable air so you can stay under water and explore for longer." Neko said.

"So what's wrong with it?"

"It lets in water from the rotator. I've gotten it to let in only a teaspoon at a time, but I'm trying to stop it all together. I'm going to try it out later. What are you-"a loud rumble interrupted her. Haruhi leapt back in surprise when Neko jumped up and ran to the current pool where Hani was, jumping in just as the large wave started to barrel down on Hani.

Jumping in, Neko swam to Hani and grabbed his floating tube. As the wave crashed over them, she took a deep breath and shoved the mask in her hands on Hani's face. Rolling around under the water, she pulled Hani out of his tube and into her chest to stop him from hitting the walls or floor in the pool. Hani's eyes opened wide as he felt the two large bumps on Neko's chest. He always thought Neko was a guy, not a tomboy!

As she held him, she swam towards the light above her, lungs burning from the stale air in her lungs. As she broke the surface, she had enough time to exhale and take a short breath as the wave pushed her under. She was being thrown head over heels, tightly holding the precious life to her body. It was at this moment she was thrown hard against the wall head first. As everything faded from her eyes, her last thought was at least Nikki can't yell at me for being reckless.

As the rest of the host club was searching for Hani and Neko, the current pool had calmed down enough that Hani could drag Neko out and lay her on the grass by the end. As he pushed on her sternum, he tried not to think about where his hands were almost touching. Neko sat up on the fifth push and threw up the water in her lungs.

"Thanks Hani. Are you alright? Did the mask work?" After receiving a nod, she gave a contented sigh. It was then that Hani asked the question swarming behind his eyes.

"Neko-Chan, why didn't you tell us you were a girl?" She looked over at him, startled.

"I guess you would have found out with how close I squished you to my chest. I… I never thought of myself as a girl. My family… My family has always given birth to boys, so when I was born, my… uncle wasn't too happy. My parents were killed in front of me, while my brother was taken out of the room. I heard… I heard the gunshot that took his life… saw the man who did it c-come back in, covered in- in his blood. I thought… I thought if I was a guy, no one else would be hurt. Nikki is all I have left. Don't tell anyone, please? I need to do this." Neko looked at Hani pleadingly until he nodded.

"We should find the others. Thanks for saving me from drowning." They started walking into the forest. It took ten minutes before they heard yelling. Hani signaled for Neko to stop as he grabbed a long vine. He swung out to the voices and she followed after him, pausing as she saw him take down the remaining police.

"Don't hurt my friends 'kay~?" he said. Wow, little man has power. Who knew? She thought.

"Hey, Haruhi, you want to show me where the others are? I need Ootori to check where I hit my head."

"I would like to go to a beach. I mean a real one, not a resort." Haruhi said.

"WE'RE GOING TO THE BEACH!" Tamaki yelled.
