Chapter two is here as well! This one introduces the OCs, and shows some of their characteristics and reactions from some of the Host Club. Once again, it's early, so please, if there are any typos or mistakes, feel free to tell me so I can fix it!
Chapter Two
A girl stood in front of the classroom, smiling confidently, glancing around the classroom with bright brown eyes. There he was, the one reason she had been sent to this school, instead of Roberia. She shuddered at the thought of going to yet another girl's school and instead focused her thoughts on the boy.
Kyoya Ootori. He was the third son, so he could never inherit, unless some miracle happened and he did, she mused. But all the reports that she had made and read said that he was highly capable, with the analytical abilities that put his brothers to shame. He was the vice-president of the Host Club the school director's son had formed.
Tamaki Suoh. As far as she could tell, he hadn't arrived. She was sure she would have noticed a blond in this room, especially one with purple eyes. A harmless flirt,she had already concluded, but kind. In fact, the only flaw he had that her research had brought up was his parentage, which quite frankly, she couldn't care less about.
The teacher still hadn't arrived yet, so she waited casually by the desk. She was still there when Tamaki arrived, easily recognized by his hair, not to mention all the girls, not just his fan girls, squealing.
"Good morning Tamaki!" The girls chorused.
"Good morning ladies!" Tamaki replied easily and cheerfully. "What a beautiful garden to see when I walk in this morning!" The girls all squealed again, and many of them swooned into another's arms.
The girl chuckled at the reaction. He really is a flirt… it's not too hard to see why he's the number one host.
Tamaki noticed her and sent one of the easily charming smiles her way. "But you, my lady, in this garden you are a perfect rose."
He's also completely sincere. "Do you always flirt before you find out a girl's name?" she teased lightly, tossing her medium length reddish-brown hair out of her eyes.
"My apologies my lady," Tamaki bent into a small and respectful bow. "My name is Tamaki Suoh. And yours?"
"Akira Asato," she replied, grinning broadly. Tamaki was both cute and charming, but definitely not her type. Akira was more attracted to the smart, stoic, and mysteriously dark boys, and of course, being good looking never hurt. Therefore, that being the case, entertaining the idea of a flirtation with Tamaki was harmless.
Kimiko would be a stammering mess by now if she were here right now, Akira thought devilishly of her friend, the grin expanding wider at the thought.
"Tamaki." Kyoya appeared by the boy's side, giving him a look Akira couldn't understand before looking at her. "Asato-san, I hope he wasn't bothering you at all."
"Akira, please. And don't worry, he wasn't bothering me, he was quite nice actually. Plus, it's not like I don't know that the only reason you want me happy is so I don't try to convince my father to withdraw the contract," Akira replied bluntly. She despised all the people who used her to get to her father, so even being in the same room as one of those people did not make her feel very cordial at all.
Kyoya smiled, one of those Shadow King smiles, but Akira didn't know about that side of her. To her, the smile was charming, and made her feel a little guilty about accusing him about using her. She shook those feeling away angrily. No, he is using me! No feeling guilty about revealing the truth!
"Well, Miss Akira, would you do us the honor of visiting the Host Club?" Tamaki asked, trying and succeeding to ease a little of the tension. "Since you're new and all, the first visit could be free."
"Who says I'd go again?" Akira teased lightly. Tamaki looked a little hurt and dumbstruck, so Akira relented with a laugh. "If I did decide to go, could I bring a friend with me? She's new here too, you know."
"Kimiko Sato, a first year. She's the one in the same class as Haruhi and the twins," Kyoya said, answering Tamaki's unasked question.
"Seems you've done your research," Akira noted.
"I make it my business to know the students of this school," Kyoya replied, with just a hint of contempt in his voice, as well as unexpected pride.
"Do bring her! The more, the merrier!" Tamaki said to Akira as he and Kyoya moved to sit down.
Akira grudgingly admitted respect for Kyoya as the teacher walked into the room. Just from the short conversation, she sould tell he was not only a good businessman, but a good enough diplomat to keep things under his control and manipulate the situation to suit him and whatever he was supporting. Even with all that, he was so… so… well Akira couldn't find the word yet, but she'd figure it out eventually.
() () () () () () () () () ()
Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom… Dang it, its still in there! The girl stifled a laugh. This is all Akira's fault!
Of course, she didn't really believe that. If the song was that annoying, she never would have recorded it. Even now, when they were in separate classrooms, she could already hear Akira's reply to her half-hearted complaints.
Kimiko, you thought it was funny too! Yeah, that was Akira.
Yeah, well Akira, I didn't think this song would get stuck in my head this long or this badly! Kimiko retaliated mentally, knowing it wouldn't mean anything.
She glanced sideways at the rest of the class, who was staring at her openly. Kimiko sighed inwardly. Akira might not mind and be fine with this stuff, but the stares made Kimiko nervous. It wasn't ever so bad when someone else, mainly Akira, was there, but right now Kimiko was alone in front of the room. Alone. Being stared at.
Confident… be confident… nom nom nom… Kimiko giggled intoher palm quietly.
Hikaru and Kaoru watched the girl with a detached interest. It wasn't as if the girl concerned them, but if something was funny, they wanted to know.
"Hey Haruhi?"
"What Hikaru?" Haruhi asked, just a little absently.
"We're gonna talk to the new girl, wanna come?"
"No, I'm…" Their past pranks and tricks they'd pulled came to Haruhi's mind and hit her full force. "Don't even think about it!" Both twins sent her an evil grin and stalked off towards the front of the room.
My debt! After a moment, Haruhi chased after the twins.
Kimiko looked at the three boys in front of her brother, blushing a little. She wasn't used to getting talked to by boys, especially good-looking boys. The identical twins had to be the Hitachiin twins, while the other just had to be the scholarship student. What was his name again?
"Um…" Aah! Why didn't I read Akira's research on them? Umm… I think the twins are Hikaru and Kaoru… though I can't tell which one is which… but the other's name… Aaaaaaah! Why can't I remember?
"Please ignore them," the scholarship boy said. "I'm Haruhi Fujioka."
A-ha! That was the name! Kimiko bowed slightly. "I'm Kimiko Sato! Nice to meet you!"
"Hey, your parents know Kyoya's, right?" One of the twins, probably Kaoru, asked.
"Um… Ootori's parents?" Haruhi nodded. "Yeah, that's them," Kimiko replied. "Actually, the only reason I'm at this school is because of that connection with them."
"Really?" The other twin said, just a little doubtfully.
"Um… w-well, yeah…" Kimiko muttered. "I could be at Roberia." All of them but Haruhi shuddered. They had all had bad experiences with either Roberia or another girl's school, and it was a horrible thought.
"Hey, wanna play a game?" Kaoru asked, though Kimiko was still confused as to which twin was which.
"No, she doesn't," Haruhi answered.
"W-what kind of game?" Kimiko asked reluctantly.
"The… 'Which One is Hikaru' Game!" The twins did the insanely long switch-around and put on the hats. "We pick the penalty if you're wrong!"
"Um…" Haruhi was silent, so Kimiko assumed that meant he had given up and she had to take a guess. She pointed to one of them. "Um… Kaoru? And you're Hikaru?"
"WRONG!" The twins chorused gleefully. "And your penalty is…" Haruhi's death glare was more than enough to make the twins think twice about their penalty game.
"You have to visit the Host Club today!" Kaoru announced, a little weakly while Hikaru glared at the wall, annoyed that this girl was getting away with such a lame penalty.
Kimiko blushed, much to Kaoru's pleasure. It was fun messing with people, and quite obviously, this bothered her quite a bit. "Um… w-well… o-okay…"
"You don't have to do it you know," Haruhi put it, trying to make the embarrassed girl feel better.
"N-no, I lost, so I'll do it," Kimiko replied faintly, unknowingly earning a little respect from the group. This is so not what I needed! Kimiko thought in dismay. After all, she had heard some of the things Akira found out in her research.
"Hey Haruhi, did you do last night's homework?" Hikaru asked, effectively taking the attention off Kimiko and ignoring her at the same time.
"You're not copying it Hikaru."
"Please?"
"No."
"Haruhi…"
"No!"
"Hikaru, you can go and copy mine. It's in my bag." Kaoru sent Hikaru to go copy his homework. He looked at Kimiko before he followed Hikaru to the desks, sending her a sly wink. "See ya later Kimiko!"
Kimiko blushed even harder if that was even possible as the boys left. No, no, no! Stop blushing! Aaaaaaaah! Why did I have to agree to go? Maybe I could just drag Akira with me… yeah, that should work… I'll do what I promised, and I won't be alone and surrounded by attractive boys…
There's Chapter Two! Now that I look at it, the chapter ended kind of strangely… but you can see the potential hopefully… The next chapter will be at the Host Club! I know what their cosplay will be, but you'll have to read to find out! Once again, please give me an honest review on how you feel and how you think this could be improved! It would be a huge help so please review!
