When You Came

Chapter 3 ~WE ARE NOT HOMO!~

A/N: Hi~ Thanks to all that reviewed! Yay! *hands out cyber cookies to all* I DO NOT OWN OHSHC! But you can keep on wishing~ :3

Azuki's POV

"Kimi-chan I'm home!" I yelled as I swung open the door to our apartment. She was asleep on her bed. I slightly facepalmed and lightly shook her awake. "Mm mph…ramen…yummy…" she mumbled. I tipped my cup of water on her face and ran. "Aarghh…NAMIKAZE AZUKI! I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS!" I heard her scream from her room. I gave her the ramen and she shut up instantly. Rolling my eyes, I got my chopsticks and muttered a quick 'Itadakimasu' before slowly eating the food. After that, I went to bed and slept like a log.

Next Day – The Host Club is open for business~

"Hello, what would you like this afternoon?" I asked with a smile; thinking about possibly punching the twins afterwards. We were all dressed in kimonos and yukatas. I had an aqua-blue yukata with blossom designs and a navy-blue obi sash. Kimiko had a purple and pink furisode (the one with long sleeves – look it up!) and a gold obi. Guys came through the doors after hearing the rumours of there being hostesses.

"You know, if you keep up with this excellent performance, your debt will be paid off easier," said the black-haired miser. I rolled my eyes and continued with my job. Then, an idea flashed in my head. I whispered something to Kimiko and she nodded, excused herself then ran to her locker. She came back with her guitar and I went over to the piano. If I had to be stuck here, I might as well have fun!

"One, two, three, four;" I counted us in as we played along to the song: Sign by FLOW.

I realise the screaming pain

Hearing loud in my brain

But I'm going straight ahead with the scar

Can You Hear Me (x2)

Can You Hear Me (So am I)

Wasurete shimaeba ii yo kanji nakunacchaeba ii

Can You Hear Me? So am I

I smiled at the crowd in front of us. I got down from the piano and bowed to the guests; Kimiko did the same. "Thank you to you all; if Kyoya-senpai will allow it, we will be having performances here every few days," I said. The crowd cheered again. I saw the hosts – including Haruhi – and they were clapping for us! Yay! We sat back down and the guests went back to being hosted by the hosts.

"How long have you been learning piano?" "You play so well!" "Did you rehearse this?" "Kimiko-san and you were in perfect sync!" Kimiko and I were overwhelmed with all of these comments. "Umm… I self-learned for about a year… thanks… to be honest, we did practice a few times and well, thanks!" I replied in one huge breath. Kimiko patted me on the back. "Well, that might possibly be the best performance we've ever done!" she grinned. "It's the only performance we've ever done…" I said, sipping my tea. Kimiko punched me playfully, "Way to kill the mood…" "You're welcome!" I replied as I hugged her.

Our guests looked in amazement. "Are you and Azuki-san homo?" asked a guest. I pulled away swiftly. "No! We are just best friends! Trust me – we're straight!" I spluttered. Kimiko was fully red. "What she said!" she exclaimed, pouring another cup of tea for the guests and herself.

Later that afternoon~

"I can't believe someone called us homo!" I exclaimed. Haruhi laughed, "You two… what did you do?" "Umm, Azu-chan hugged me and they thought we were in love with each other!" said Kimiko. "That makes us seem like the twins…" I muttered. "Oh Hikaru…how would I ever survive without you…" Kimiko imitated in a funny voice. "But you would never leave me Kaoru…" I mocked. Then we all burst out giggling.

"That's not very nice to be mocking people…"

I jumped back quickly and threw a sword at the twins, which they easily dodged. Yep, I came prepared! "Nuh uh, it's not nice to be throwing things at people!" the twins said in unison. "And since when did I care?" I countered holding two long swords in my hands. "But I don't want to get hurt, Hikaru…" said Kaoru. "Don't worry, I will protect you…" said Hikaru. Brilliant, it's the homo-brotherly act. "Remind me to puke," Kimiko stated, poking a finger in her mouth. "Hand me a bucket, someone…" I said. The twins made it a point to argue that they were better than us and so we argued back until Haruhi stopped us all. "You guys are so immature…" she mumbled.

Even Later~

Today I didn't have to go to work so I stayed with Kimiko and practiced playing a piece we were working on; My Soul Your Beats by 'Girls Dead Monster'. Haruhi stayed to listen. "You two should really perform at a gig or something!" she suggested. Kimiko put down her guitar and wiped a bead of sweat off her forehead. "Nah, we're not good enough…" she said. "If you would like, we could let you perform at a conference and the profits will pay off some of your debt?" said Kyoya. I jumped back a bit.

"Where did you come from, Kyoya-senpai?" I asked, clutching the front of my kimono; breathing heavily. "Why, I was here the whole time; you two are talented musicians," Kyoya complimented. I nodded in acknowledgement. "Thanks, and could we take you up on that offer?" said Kimiko. Kyoya nodded, "Of course; but it will incur a small fee of 9 000 yen." I processed this through my brain. "Fine, just charge it to our debt," I concluded. He nodded and went back to typing stuff on his laptop.

After that, everyone went home did whatever they did and went to bed~
