Chapter 1
Haruhi
"Where have you always wanted to go?" he asks.
We are at the post office in line so I can get my passport picture taken. I know, I'm seventeen and I don't have my passport. That's what happens when your family isn't exactly rich. The post office was actually pretty stuffy so I'm surprised he hasn't said anything. People are bustling everywhere and the spring heat isn't quite helping. He takes my hand in a firm grip but, I don't mind. He looks down at me and I smile back at him. His blond hair is perfectly styled and his violet eyes glitter like the always do. He is actually dressed pretty casual today; if you consider jeans and a button-down casual. My short, dark hair is brushed out the best it could be and I have on a hoddie and jeans just to be comfortable. When he looked away, his eyes filled with annoyance. I could tell he was getting frustrated.
"Um," I started. "America is pretty cool but, so is France. I think since you have been like everywhere, I'll let you decide."
He chuckles.
"Of course I'm going to decide where we go my precious little Haruhi!"He practically squeals in excitement.
"Yay," I mutter sarcastically.
It's only because I love him that I put up with his insanity. That's the deal with Tamaki Suou.
"Haruhi,"he chirps.
"yes, Sen-I mean Tamaki," I turn around and face him. He tilts my face towards him and plants a kiss on my lips.
I am so distracted by Tamaki that I don't hear the attendant call my name. I do hear it the second time, she makes sure I do. The attendant smile at me forcefully, snaps the picture, and then sends me on my way.
"That's it? We waited in line for that?!" he shrills.
"We could have done it the easier way but you insisted on doing it the 'commoner' way," I explain.
"It's over. There's nothing we can do now," he pouts.
"Oh senpai," I mutter.
"Haruhi, remember I am no longer your senpai but I have romanced my way into your heart," and there's the rose.
"Sure," I pull him along behind me.
Tamaki
We return to Music Room 3 to the rest of the Host Club.
"Hey boss,"Hikaru and Kaoru approach us.
"Not now boys," I catch sight of Kyoya. "Kyoya! Did you make the announcement?"
"I thought I'd let you," Kyoya pushes up his glasses whilst giving me a smirk. Of course he did.
Haruhi stepped out of the room and I wanted to follow but I had an announcement to make!
"The Ouran High School is taking a four week trip to America lead by the Host Club!" I announce.
Kyoya smiles his crooked grin and the twins' smile is just the opposite.
"And don't worry about Haruhi. Our king took care of her passport situation today,"Kyoya says.
I nod and turn around to where Haruhi left. She missed my announcement.
"Hey where's Haurhi?" Hikaru asks Kaoru.
"I don't know," He replies.
That's my cue. I go to the backroom and find Haruhi on the cell phone the twins had given to her.
I hang up my phone as Tamaki comes in.
"Hi," I start.
"You missed my announcement," He says with concern.
"I'm aware," I say.
I drop my phone and hug him, burying my face into his chest.
"Haruhi, what happened?" He asks in my hair.
"I don't know what I'm going to do…" I mutter.
He kisses my hair then lets go of me. He scoops me up and carries me to a nearby couch. I mean we are in the Host Club room. Those gold and red velvet couches are everywhere.
"Haruhi, you need to tell me," He says.
Tamaki
"Haruhi, you need to tell me," I say.
She looks at me with those adorable eyes and they're brimmed with tears. She slides off my lap and I try to pull her back but she's too far over.
"My aunt called," She starts.
Since when did my little Haruhi have an aunt?!
"She's my dad's sister. She…she said that I'm not a lady, even though I go to Ouran High. She said that the only way to become a lawyer is to transfer to Lobelia and be like my mother. She also said that if I don't transfer, she won't let me live with my dad because apparently being in the Host Club influences my dad to further cross-dress and she hates it when he does that. So, now I can't live with my dad," She looks at me and buries her face in her lap and sobs.
"Haruhi? I have a question," I nudge her.
"Yeah? *sniffle*," she looks at me.
"Why does your aunt have so much influence over you?"
"She's my femine influence and my female guardian," She says with absolute disgust.
"Oh," That's all I can say.
"I mean all I can still visit my dad but, I cant live with him if I continue to go here," She finishes.
I grab her hand and squeeze it.
"We'll figure it out," I tell her.
She kisses me which takes me by surprise.
Haruhi
I can't believe that sleazy, scheming b*tch of an aunt wants me to go to Lobelia. I will not. Tamaki looks at me with wide eyes after I break away. Then his whole face lights up. Oh Lordy… he has a plan.
"You can just stay with me," He exclaims jumping up and taking my hands, now standing in front of me.
"I don't know Tamaki…" I start.
"But I know my father already likes you. I mean he already told me to marry you. Please please please please please?" and then he gives me the eyes.
"Um, why don't we go back to the rest of the Host Club," I say.
"You're right! You missed my announcement!"
"Oh yeah," I remember. "What is it?"
"The Ouran Acadamy is taking a trip to America lead by the Host Club!" He says with all the usual pomp.
"Oh cool. That actually sounds like fun.
