The host club was just as loud as ever as everyone began to get to know one another. Haruhi had really begun to enjoy spending time with Ryu and Alice.
"I see, so your mother died when you were young." Alice said sadly.
Haruhi nodded. "Yes, but it's okay. I mean, my dad works hard for me, so I shouldn't complain."
Ryu and Alice nodded in understandment.
"What about your parents?" Haruhi asked, staring at the two siblings. Alice and Ryu blinked, glancing at each other.
"Oh well…" Alice paused, trying to think of the right words to say.
"Our parents work a lot, we don't see them often." Ryu scowled, folding his arms over his chest. Alice glared at her brother for his rude tone.
Haruhi simply smiled though, nodding. "I must ask though… Ryu… why are you here exactly?"
Ryu flinched. "D-Don't get the wrong idea!" he stammered. "I'm only here because I didn't want to leave Alice alone with a bunch of play boys!"
Haruhi and Alice chuckled at Ryu's embarrassment. "I see, so you were only protecting Alice. That's actually very nice of you." Haruhi nodded.
Ryu's shoulders relaxed and he nodded, glad that Haruhi understood.
Haruhi refilled Alice's cup of coffee and glanced over at the Hitachin twins, who were currently staring at Tammy in wonder as she continued on with her 10 minute rant on oranges.
"So, how long have known Tammy?" Haruhi asked, hoping to continue the conversation and get as much information as she could.
"Not long." Alice said, leaning her head against her hand. "We've been neighbors for a couple months now, but we didn't actually start talking to each other till this morning."
Haruhi nodded.
"Though, I've definitely heard of their reputation." Ryu sighed, slouching in his chair.
"Reputation?" Haruhi asked, tilting her head.
Ryu and Alice nodded. "We went to the same school last year, and there were a whole lot of rumors going on about those three." Ryu leaned in a bit to whisper the info as he point to Tammy, Alix, and Sarah.
Haruhi raised an eye brow of interest, glancing at the three.
"So, Alix and Tammy are siblings, while Sarah is their older cousin." Alice started. "Last year, during one of the football games, Alix and Tammy had climbed up to the top of the bleachers, and threw apples at the football team." Haruhi blinked in surprise.
"Why did they do that?"
"No one knows. Though they were yelling something like 'Get your energy you fatties.'" Ryu muttered.
Haruhi gulped. These girls were all ready sounding like a crazed bunch.
"Those two were constantly causing trouble last year. They single handedly destroyed 12 of the different class rooms, blew up the chemistry room, and the police had to visit our school 23 times last year." Alice announced.
Haruhi stared at the two in shock. Tammy and Alix seemed so sweet, a little dim, but sweet. It was hard to believe they could do all of that.
"What about Sarah?" Haruhi asked slowly.
Ryu shivered, causing Haruhi to worry on a number of levels. "Well… lets just say her nickname suits her perfectly."
"What's her nickname?' Haruhi questioned, leaning in a bit to listen closer.
"The Blond Devil. She could flip an entire school over and not even break a sweat." Ryu said slowly, his voice sounding dazed.
"At one point last year, she stopped a car that was moving at 50mpr with one hand. I can't even remember why she did it, but she did." Alice shuddered a bit, remembering back to the say.
"The poor guy had a really big dent in his car…. I mean this dent was huge! It crushed the engine a bit." Ryu lifted his arms up in exasperation.
Haruhi blinked in shock. "R-Really now." she said slowly, glancing back at Sarah who was calmly eating so cheesecake.
Tammy and the Hitachin twins
"So my princess, how do you like Ouran so far?" The twins smiled mischievously after Tammy had finally ended her rant on oranges.
Tammy looked up from her tea and smile. "It's a very nice school. Though, I get lost easily. This school is very big you know. There are so many halls and doors. You could fit a thousand people in here in you wanted to. Maybe more though. Maybe two thousand." Tammy murmured, rubbing her chin in thought.
Kaoru and Hikaru glanced at each other, then back at Tammy.
"So, Hikaru, is it fun, having a twin?" Tammy asked with a joyful smile.
Hikaru blinked. He had never been asked that question before. "Yes." he nodded. "It's very fun."
"That's nice.' Tammy smiled brightly. "I always have fun with my sister, though we're not twins. She is 2 years older then me. My dad says we're sort of like twins though, cause we look so much alike and act alike." Tammy began to plan with her bangs.
Hikaru and Kaoru sweat dropped. This girl really liked to talk, huh?
"So then, why are you guys in the host club? Is it fun too? It's fun to me. Cause see, there are so many fun people here. Like Hikaru and Mr. Orange." Tammy smiled.
Kaoru's left eye brow twitched. "Wait a minute. How come you call Hikaru by his name, but I'm still 'Mr. Orange'?" Kaoru questioned.
Tammy tilted her head. "Well, because thats who you are." Tammy blinked.
"My name is Kaoru though." Kaoru said in a low tone.
"Mr. Orange." Tammy corrected.
Kaoru flinched, wanting to snap at Tammy right there, but froze at the sight of her bright and happy smile. He felt the heat rush to his feet, and looked down at his cup in embarrassment. "K-Kaoru." he said softly.
-Alix, Tamaki, and Kyoya-
"So Mr. Sparkley vampire man, what does your papa do? Mine is a police officer. He makes cookies too you know. He even makes cookies for some of the bad guys that come into the police station." Alix smiled.
Tamaki, who was still a little depressed about his new nickname, stared at Alix. "Even for the bad guys?" he repeated.
"Even for the bad guys." Alix nodded.
Tamaki's eyes sparkled with inspiration. "That is incredible! To be so kind hearted even to those who have done terrible wrongs! What a wonderful father you have!" Tamaki proclaimed.
Alix smiled. "What does your papa do?"
"My father is the principal of this school." Tamaki smiled kindly.
"Oh, I saw him! This morning, he acts a lot like you." Alix blinked innocently, causing Tamaki to flinch in despair. Alix, oblivious to Tamaki's reaction of her last comment, turned to Kyoya. "What does your papa do, glasses man?"
Kyoya looked up from his computer and pushed up his glasses, giving Alix a smile. "My father, I suppose you could say, is a very successful business man."
Alix frowned, staring at Kyoya blankly. "You don't have to smile if you don't want to."
Kyoya blinked in surprise, staring at Alix in confusion.
"Your smile… its fake. If you don't want to smile at me, you don't have to." Alix smiled brightly at him. "Cause it's better your yourself around others."
Tamaki and Kyoya's eyes widened in surprise. "Then, do you truly wish to smile at me?" Kyoya asked slowly, his glass glinting off the light, hiding his eyes.
"Yes." Alix answered. "Cause Mr. Glasses man, and Mr. Sparkley Vampire man are so much fun." Alix giggled, leaving both of the boys speechless.
--Sarah, Mori and Honey-
Sarah finished her piece of cake and placed at plate on the table in front of her.
"Did you like it?" Honey asked, all read on his 4th piece.
"Not a big cake fan." Sarah said blankly, folding her arms.
"Eh?" Honey whined. "Then why did you eat the cake?"
Sarah stared at Honey and Mori for a while before she shrugged. "Cause you wanted me to I guess." she mumbled, rubbing her chin.
Honey's eyes widened. "For me?" he smiled brightly. "Awe, Sarah-chan is so nice! Right, Takashi?" Honey looked towards his much taller friend. Honey blinked at the sight of Sarah flinching at the name 'Sarah-Chan'.
"Ah." Mori nodded in agreement.
Sarah shrugged once more. "Well, I don't want to be a kill joy, but I have to go." Sarah said, rising from her chair.
"Eh, why?" Honey whined, wanting Sarah to stay a little longer.
"I have to get them home. Since I'm their cousin, it's sort of my responsibility to watch over them." Sarah said, motioning towards Alix and Tammy.
Mori's eyes widened a bit. He glanced at Honey then back at Sarah, understanding her responsibility as well.
"Thank you for the cake, Mitsukuni, Takashi."
"You can me Honey, and Takashi Mori, if you like." Honey smiled.
"Oh, okay." Sarah nodded slowly.
"Well, come back tomorrow, Sarah-Chan!" Honey lifted up his hand to wave goodbye.
"Sarah." Sarah corrected. "Just call me Sarah please." Sarah said softly, a sad look in her eyes.
Honey blinked, pulling his hand back in surprise, "O-Oh, okay." Honey said, staring at Sarah as she left.
"Alix, Tammy, we're leaving." Sarah announced as she walked passed their two tables.
"Aww, just a few more minutes?" they whined.
"No, now." Sarah said, opening the door.
Alix and Tammy sighed. "Okay." they both got up from their spots and smiled at their hosts.
"Thanks for the tea Hikaru, Mr. Orange." Tammy smiled.
"Kaoru." Kaoru corrected.
"Mr. Orange." Tammy nodded, causing Kaoru to flinch while Hikaru chuckled a bit.
Both of the boys let out a small gasp though when Tammy grabbed both of their heads, and pressed all three of their foreheads together. Kaoru felt his cheeks burn a bright red on how close their faces were to each other.
"Bye Bye." she grinned before pulling away and running towards Sarah, who stared blankly back.
"Bye, Bye, Mr. Sparkley Vampire man, Mr. Glasses man. It was nice to speak with you. Let talk again sometime." Alix smiled at the two.
Tamaki smiled back, nodding. "R-Right."
Kyoya looked up from his computer with a frown, oddly enough causing Alix to smile even brighter.
"See, I can tell that frown is real." Alix giggled.
Kyoya blinked, pushing up his glasses a bit. "It was… nice to meet you Alix Avilia." he said, a small smile pulling at his lips.
Alix blinked, grinning widely. She reached her hands out a grabbed Kyoya's head.
Kyoya blinked in shock as Alix pressed her forehead against his, her grin never fading. "Bye bye." she whispered before pulling away and running for the door.
The other guests in the room stared at the two Avilia sisters in shock.
"W-Who were those two?" one whispered.
"Tammy and Alix Avilia, scholarship students." another answered.
"What boldness they have, doing that to the host." one gasped, sounding a bit envious, wishing she had the courage to press her forehead against one of the hosts.
As Sarah began to close the door, she paused to look at Ryu and Alice. "Hey." she called solemnly.
Ryu looked over his shoulder at her, blinking.
"Make sure you join this club, or people will get the wrong idea." Sarah said with a small smirk before she closed the door, barley dodging the cup Ryu threw at her.
Ryu's face burned bright red out of anger and embarrassment as he glared at the closed door. "Why that little-" he hissed, slumping back into his chair.
Alice and Haruhi chuckled. "Do you really want to join?' Haruhi asked.
"No!" Ryu snapped, folding his arms.
"People are getting the wrong idea though." Alice cooed with a smirk.
"S-Shut up, I wouldn't make a good host anyway, even IF I wanted to join." Ryu hissed at her.
"I don't know, I mean, you've got the looks. All you need is some training." Haruhi shrugged.
Ryu blinked, looking at Haruhi in surprise. "Really?" he asked, tilting his head.
Haruhi smiled, nodding. "Yeah. I didn't really need training though, so I'm not sure what it entails. I guess I was just, a natural rookie." Haruhi shrugged.
Ryu nodded.
"Come on Ryu, you should do it. It will give me an excuse to come back here every once and a while." Alice grinned. "Plus…" Alice smirked widened evilly, causing Ryu to flinch in fear. "It will give you a chance to learn how to pick up girls, then you can finally ask 'Her' out." Alice cooed.
Ryu blushed, sputtering. "W-What do you mean?" he demanded.
I've known about your little crush since last year Ryu. No need hiding it." Alice chuckling, elbowing Ryu's shoulder.
Ryu's eyes widened, his whole face turning a bright shade of red. "S-Shut up, don't say anymore!" he squeaked, covering Alice's mouth with his hand.
Haruhi raised an eye brow of interest. "Crush?"
Ryu flinched. "I-It's nothing, you didn't hear any of that."
"No use trying to deny it Ryu." Alice said, pulling away from his grip.
Haruhi chuckled. "Maybe you should join the host club then. I mean, there are a lot of different ways to pick up girls, but it all depends on what that girl is interested in. If you join the host club, you could look and see how all the other hosts pick up girls, without giving people the wrong idea. Then you could learn and get comfortable with it, and be ready." Haruhi nodded.
Ryu looked at Haruhi in surprise, thinking over her suggestion. "I…. Guess you're right." he nodded. "Okay, I'll do it." he grinned.
Haruhi nodded. "Great, now you just need to talk to him over there about it." Haruhi said, pointing at Tamaki over her shoulder.
Ryu let out a groan of distaste. "Sparkle man?"
Haruhi chuckled at Tamaki's new nickname. "Yup."
Ryu let out a whine. "Can't I just talk with you about this?"
"Sorry, I'm only the rookie. He's the actual king." Haruhi shrugged.
"Ha, King of Sparkles." Alice chuckled.
"That makes so much sense." Ryu sighed, nodding, getting to his feet. "I'll be back." and with that, he trudged over to the Sparkle King.
