~Previously~
Takashi's POV
Everyone watched as we completed our nearly silent exchange. "Mori-senpai is feeling bold today!" Tamaki declared while thumping his chest.
Kyouya watched with interest. He scribbled these details down in his book. He had a smug look on his face. He could be writing anything down in that book. I sighed. What have I gotten myself roped into this time?
~Chapter Two~
Matsuki's POV
I went home with Kyouya shortly after Takashi-Senpai took me away from Hikaru. I felt like a stupid, naïve, little girl. It only made it worse since I couldn't say anything aloud. All I have is my stupid communication book. Nothing but small cards filled with words and pictures. The dumb thing couldn't express what I really wanted to say and how I wanted to say it. I guess it never will.
I asked Kyouya about a surgery to fix my voice, but he was no help. He said, "You're a special case, Matsuki. You puzzle doctors all over the world." At his words I frowned, pointing out my words to him. I. Am. Sick. Of. Hearing. That. From. Everyone. After that I went back to my room, getting ready for bed. Those events last night led me here, trying to put a brush through my long black hair. I scowled at I blew my bangs out of my eyes.
I couldn't really do anything with my hair, being as it was so long. Today I straightened my bangs, braided the top half and let the rest of my hair under it hang free. I had put on blue, white, and red plaid skirt and a red tank top to match. My braid was held together by a blue ribbon, my socks white, and I slipped on my black converse. I'm big on coordination.
I headed down flights of stairs and ate a brief breakfast with Kyouya. We then left for school. I dreaded seeing the twins. They were weird yesterday. I wonder what issues Takashi-Senpai was talking about. Tamaki-Senpai was over dramatic, but I still think he's funny. Hunny-Senpai is cute, I can't really decide if I like him or not yet. And then there's Haruhi. His voice sounds like a girl. I can hear it when he talks. There's something that he's lacking that a boys voice needs. Oh well, I'll just leave it alone for now.
When Kyouya and I stepped out of the car, I was suddenly tackled and spun around by a short senior. This is what I get for not paying attention. I tried pushing him off, but he wouldn't loosen his grip. "Matsu-chan~" He sang. "I missed you!" He hugging me tight. "Did you miss me?" Just as I was about to nod, I was again lifted off the ground.
Ah, Takashi-Senpai has arrived. He carefully placed me down next to him. "Mitsukuni, remember what I said about personal space?" He said. His deep voice made my body tremble. I never heard someone with a voice as rich and as smooth as his.
Suddenly, Hunny-Senpai's face lit up like a light bulb. "Oh yeah! I remember now, Takashi. Sorry Matsu-chan!" He then climbed on his Takashi's shoulder. "Well, bye bye! We have to get to class. See you later~" The pair then walked away, leaving me alone with my cousin, who then escorted me to class.

When I eventually got to class I took my seat next to Hikaru. He grimaced when he saw me. I sighed and took out my binder and my communication book. I tapped him and pointed to my book. Hello. I tried to be nice to him, but he just totally blew me off. Talk about rude. "Whatever." He scoffed. "You probably don't even remember who I am."
"That's no way to talk to a girl!" Haruhi scolded from his seat. Hikaru humph-ed and promptly ignored her. I tapped the red-haired boy again. He looked at me with angry eyes. I wasn't even doing anything bad! I just wanted a friend… That's all. But. I. Do. Remember. Your. Name. It. Is. Hikaru. Hikaru looked at his name on the card with a surprised face and then looked at me. I offered him a small smile.
I had stayed up all night making everyone in the Host Club a name card. I did my best to try and draw their faces correctly. I even parted the twin's hair to their respective sides. I drew the twins with their spiky red hair and lopsided grins. Kyouya with his glasses flashing, looking professional as always. Haruhi had a small smile on his face, but it was polite. For Tamaki-Senpai, I made sure to give his hair extra color and his happy face- :D. For Hunny-Senpai I drew him with a cute smile and pink flowers around his head. Takashi-Senpai was the hardest, I had literally drawn his face like this- o_o… Or something like that anyways. His face was the hardest.
"You drew me a card?" Hikaru asked, scratching his head. "Why?" I sighed, but smiled anyways. Because. I. Actually. Care. About. People. I. Do. Not. Mean. To. Harm. Them. In. Any. Way. I. Am. Sorry. For. Making. You. Angry. Yesterday. Hikaru watched as I pointed. After a minute he finally spoke. "I don't really know what to say, but thank you I guess."
The rest of time we were in class together we actually got along. I think he's starting to warm up to me, which is a good thing. At lunch I finally asked Haruhi if she was a girl, to which she promptly pointed to the word yes. I smiled at my victory. I was right! Score one for me!

I had been spending a lot of time with the hosts after school during club hours these past two weeks. They all seemed to like me. "Matsu-chan!" I heard Hunny-Senpai sing. "Come sit with me and have cake." I nodded, smiling. This kid was going to make me fat with all the sweets he's been feeding me. I sat across from him and Takashi-senpai, who cut us slices of strawberry cream cake. I bowed my head in thanks and he grunted. "Did you hear about the cruise trip Matsu-chan?" Hunny-Senpai asked me. I gave him a confused look. "All the hosts are going to be assigned their own girl, who they have to spend the whole week on the cruise with. Of course the girls choose which host they want, but we pick the names out of a hat." I nodded when he was done. Weird, Kyouya should've told me about this. Ah, doesn't matter. I'll get that little bugger back later.
It was like Hunny and Kyouya had mental telepathy because as soon as we… I mean Hunny-Senpai, finished the cake, Kyouya started pulling the names of the girls out of the hats. I wasn't really paying attention because Kyouya would probably take me anyways. I was just sitting there, quietly sipping my tea until I heard all too unwillingly…
"Yes, and now for the last host, our Wild Type, Mori." Many girls surrounding the area squealed, hurting my sensitive ears. Damn canaries, why must they be so loud. "Mori will have the pleasure of escorting…" Kyouya fished around in the bag. "Hyuuga, Matsuki-hime."
I literally choked on my drink, some of it even came out of my nose. Ew, talk about gross. I stood up sputtering like an idiot. I hadn't even know about this! Why was my name in there? God… Why can't things in my life ever be simple. "Thank you ladies, we will leave exactly a month from today." I heard Kyouya say over my loud hacking. How was I supposed to even communicate with the senior if I couldn't even say words as simple as 'yes' or 'no'? Argh! Impossible me life is.
Takashi-Senpai just looked at me. I could swear he had an amused smile painted on his stoic mask for a moment. I glared at Kyouya. Now he was really going to pay. I received many strange glances from the other girls in the room, they must think I'm crazy. I stomped my way over to Kyouya.
I. Do. Not. Want. To. Go. On. This. Boat. Trip. I scowled and he just chuckled his dark, Ootori laugh. It gave me chills. "Oh Matsuki-chan. I'm afraid I've just finished arranging things for the cruise. Can't back down now, can you?" I continues to scowl. This. Is. Not. Funny. You. Stupid. Curse my poor lack of words. "And if you keep frowning like that you'll get wrinkles." I hit him on the back of the head, to which he glared at me, but it shut him up at the least. Thank god.
~End of Chapter Three~
