Hi! Thank you Nia, and RedcabooseAngel (aka one of my besties, Courtney) for reviewing! ^_^ And since her favorite character is Honey-senpai I decided to write a scene in this chapter with him in it. :)
It had been about a week since Tamaki started dating Hikari.. Haruhi wasn't completely over it, but she had come to accept it. She wasn't the type of girl who would weep and cry about it for weeks when in this kind of situation.
When Haruhi arrived to school, she suddenly felt someone girp her uniform and whoever grabbed her tied cloth over her eyes so she couldn't see. "H-Hey! What are you doing?! Let go of me!" she yelled. Before she could say anymore the person covered her mouth and dragged her down the quiet hallway; it was still early so no one was around. Haruhi was thrown into the janitor's closet. After recovering from the rough landing, Haruhi stood up and she could see again.
A familiar looking girl with long dark red hair stood before her. "Hello Haruhi Fujioka," the girl said evilly, her gray eyes meeting Haruhi's brown eyes.
'That voice...' Haruhi thought remembering her first day at Ouran Academy. "Ayanokoji?" she said in surprise.
"Hmm, so it seems you remember me."
"Yes, you were Tamaki's top guest when I first came here," Haruhi answered directly.
"Yes... But enough about that. I know your secret Fujioka-chan. Well actually, I know your secrets. You may have been able to fool this whole school, but I'm not that gullible and stupid."
Haruhi froze. 'Great if she really does actually know my secret and tells everyone, then I'm doomed and will never be able to pay back my debt... Wait what did she mean when she added an 's' making it plural?' she thought unsure.
Ayanokoji smirked. "I know I am right, I have known since that day you came here. First of all, who names a boy Haruhi? It has always been a girls name. Secondly, a boy doesn't have eyes that big. Thirdly, you may be flat as a board, but everyone you fooled really are idiots. You even sound like a girl!"
Haruhi didn't know how to respond at first, but then she looked straight at her. "Okay so now you know my secret, do you think I-"
Ayanokoji interrupted her, "That's not all I know. Don't think I didn't figure out that you like Tamaki. But he's dating Hikari now so I guess neither of us can have him right? Don't worry, I'm not going to let out your precious secret identity. I was wondering actually if you'd like to help me."
"Help you?"
"Yes. Help me break them up. We're the same, we both have feelings for him. Of course since you're a commoner, I probably stand more of a chance than-"
"No. I would never do that."
"Why not?"
"That's what makes us different. You're a selfish evil girl with no morals. Yes I admit it, I do like Tamaki-senpai as well, and yes I am slightly jealous, but he's with Hikari and they're a great couple so far, so why should I destroy it? Everything won't always go your way and you just have to accept that."
Ayanokoji froze. 'Was she really a bad person?' She just really wanted to be with Tamaki, she felt embarrassed when he shunned her from the club, and he was still occupying her mind. "You stole him from me! And now he's with that girl that no one even talks to-"
"I can't listen to you anymore!" Haruhi yelled. She left the janitor's closet slamming the door behind her out of frustration.
Ayanokoji smirked. 'Fine Fujioka, have it your way. If you don't want to help me, then I will figure this out on my own!'
Honey ran down the hallway. "Haru-chan!" he exclaimed hugging her.
Forgetting about her frustration she hugged Honey. "Hey Honey-senpai."
"Want to have some cake with me?! Pleeeeease?"
Haruhi looked at her phone for the time, there was still about an hour and a half before class would start. "Sure why not." she replied smiling at him.
"Yay!" he exclaimed with a big grin on his face.
I followed him to Music Room 3. None of the other hosts were around. Honey had set up a table with cake galore. "I love cake don't you?" he asked sweetly.
Haruhi laughed, "Yes, especially if it has strawberries."
Honey handed her a piece of strawberry cake and sat at the table. "Sit down Haru-chan!"
Haruhi sat at the other side of the small round table and ate a forkful of her cake.
"Hey Haru-chan! Can I ask you about something?" Honey asked innocently.
"Sure."
"Do you like Tama-chan?"
"...Yes." Haruhi said directly.
"I was right!"
"Honey, could you not be so loud? Please?"
"Oh sorry and I won't tell anyone, I was just curious. Are you alright Haru-chan?"
"Yeah, it was hard, but its okay. He and Hikari are a great match. Probably better than him and I any day."
"Aww Haru-chan, that's not true!"
Haruhi laughed, "It is Honey. Well it was great having cake with you, but I should head to class. See you later Honey."
Honey frowned as Haruhi walked out the door. Shortly after Haruhi left, Mori walked into the room and saw his friend looking sad.
"What's wrong Honey?" Mori asked.
"Haru-chan and Tama-chan... I just wish they were together, they would be so kawaii..."
"Yeah." Mori replied being himself, a guy of few words.
Hikari and Tamaki walked down the hall hand in hand.
"Hey Hikari, I was wondering.. Could I meet your dad?" Tamaki asked.
"I would introduce you to him, but he died about four years ago when I entered middle school.." Hikari replied looking down.
"Oh, I'm so sorry..." Tamaki replied feeling bad for asking.
"I-it's alright. He died from lung cancer. His condition was starting to get better, but then it got worse than it ever was before and he passed away.. I-I still miss him, I spent a lot of time with him. We used to go on horseback rides together all the time. He also was the one who taught me how to play the piano..."
Tamaki hugged her, "It's too bad I couldn't have meet him.."
Hikari blushed then nodded. "Yeah, you two probably would have gotten along well."
Tamaki smiled and took her hand again and they headed to class.
When the lunch bell rang Haruhi headed to the cafeteria and this time when she saw Tamaki, he wasn't with Hikari. 'That's strange.' Haruhi thought.
"Hi Haruhi," Tamaki said greeting her.
"Hey senpai. Where's Hikari-senpai?"
"She made a friend. She didn't mention to me what her name was, but I told her that she should hang out with her today. I'm so happy she made a friend!"
Haruhi smiled, "That's great!"
"So I'll have lunch with you and the rest of the club today!"
"Hey boss!" Hikaru and Kaoru exclaimed running towards Haruhi and Tamaki.
After the rest of the host club came, they all got their food and ate in Music Room 3.
"So how are you and Hikari-chan?" Honey asked Tamaki.
"We're doing great! I really like her, she's really sweet," Tamaki replied.
Haruhi smiled, "That is really good to hear senpai."
The room fell silent. The hosts (besides Tamaki) all knew how Haruhi felt so it was kind of awkward.
"Why did you all become quiet?" Tamaki asked breaking the silence.
"I like cake!" Honey exclaimed hoping it would get rid of the awkward aura in the room.
The club then started talking about random things. Kyoya acted like he was listening, but he really wasn't. 'Haruhi is such a strong girl...' Kyoya thought. Of course he knew that Haruhi wasn't at all cliché, she was special. She was different from other girls and he liked that about her. He mentally shook his head, 'why am I having these thoughts? Am I just like Haruhi and that idiot?'
End of chapter 5! So what did you think? Hope you like my twist by adding Ayanokoji from the first episode of the show as the antagonist. Well I hope you liked it, please review! Arigato! :)
