Host Hotel

CHAPTER THREE

Last time:

The same day across the country in Karuizawa, the six men stood in front of a familiar hotel/ tea room. It was the same one where they had all stayed at during the summer when Haruhi had been working there.

Taking a big breath Tamaki pushed open the gate and led the others down the path. Although it was a Sunday and the place was closed, he raised his hand and knocked sharply against the wooden door.

They heard footsteps and then the sound of the lock being undone. The door opened wide to reveal:

"Haruhi…" asked Tamaki in shock as all six of them just stared at the person in front of them.

Haruhi's hand flew to her mouth in shock.

"Tamaki-Sempai…" was all she could say before she fainted into Tamaki's arms.

Tamaki picked Haruhi up in his arms with little effort. He paused for a minute shocked at how light she was. Then regaining his senses he went inside with the others following him. Mori who was the last to go in closed the door behind them.

They all walked in silence through the house upstairs to the bedroom where Haruhi had stayed last time they were here.

Setting Haruhi down gently on the covers, while Kyoya turned the lights on, Tamaki looked down at the woman they hadn't seen for four years.

There was silence until Hunny spoke up:

"She's changed…. A lot."

Everyone nodded their heads in consent. Instead of the flat chest, boyish looking girl they knew in school, lying in front of them was a woman.

Haruhi had grown into her womanly curves and was beautiful. She had a womanly chest which led down into a thin waist just above her hips. Her whole body looked like that of a model. She was still petite, probably smaller than all of them now since they had all grown a bit since she left. What was more shocking was her face. Her long eyelashes peaked out from beneath a few bangs which lay over her forehead. Her hair was no longer short; it now hung down in beautiful tresses, with natural curls all the way down to her waist. She looked like an angel lying on the bed.

After having watched her for a while, the six men decided on a course of action. Mori and Hunny went out into town to see if they could find some takeout food since none of them could cook; Hikaru and Kaoru went back to the airport to pick up their luggage and bring it back to the hotel. Kyoya busied himself in the organised files Haruhi kept on the functioning of the hotel. Tamaki refused to leave her side, and no one tried to get him away. He was by far the one who suffered most from Haruhi's disappearance, realising too late that he was in love with her. The others saw themselves as big brothers to her and loved her in that way; but Tamaki loved and still loves her in the sense of how a man loves a woman.

Hours passed as they waited patiently for Haruhi to wake up. In what seemed like ages it was finally morning.

Kyoya left Tamaki with Haruhi, while he and the others opened the hotel.

It wasn't until mid morning that Haruhi woke up from her faint. She tossed her head before blearily opening her eyes. Taking in her surroundings her gaze stuck on the unruly mop of blonde hair resting on a pair of arms at the side of her bed. Suddenly remembering the last events, she let out a whisper:

"Tamaki-sempai?"

"Yes, but he's asleep Haruhi." Answered a voice to her right.

Turning her eyes met those of the Shadow king of the club. Kyoya Ootori.

"Kyoya-sempai…." Said Haruhi.

"Come now Haruhi I am no longer your sempai. You should have told us what happened." Reprimanded Kyoya fixing his gaze on her, but hidden in his eyes was a caring look.

"I wasn't going to make you choose between me and your families." She answered quietly.

Now that shocked Kyoya.

"You knew!!!!"

"Yes, I am not stupid, I did do some digging. Your families are too over confident; they didn't cover their tracks well."

Kyoya smiled at her, and realised that she was still the smart girl they knew and hadn't changed all that much.

Before he could say anything the door to her bedroom opened and before either one could react, Haruhi found herself engulfed in an embrace from two red haired twins who were yelling loudly.

"HARUHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The commotion woke Tamaki and had Mori and Hunny charging into the room.

Hunny immediately joined the hug as did Tamaki both yelling respectively:

"HARU-CHAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"HARUHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!"

Kyoya and Mori watched from the side of the bed both smiling as their so called family finally felt whole again.

It had been two and a half years since the former members of the Host club had turned up at the front door of the small tea house that Haruhi had been running.

Over those two and a half years, a lot had changed. For one Kyoya had taken over the management of the Hotel and dealt with all the financial aspects, and true to his nature, had been ruthless on expanding their branch. And as a result the chain of 'Host Hotels' were now worldwide and on the same level as the Hilton Hotels, they were known as one of the best hotel Chains in the world for being available to both the rich and the normal people.

The twins looked after every aspects of designing the Hotels and in each Hotel they was an exclusive fashion Shop which sold only original Yin and Yang designer clothes. The twins had come up with that name.

Hunny was in charge of anything to do with Food, as a result all their hotels served the best meals and desserts around.

Mori was in charge of security, and their security was so good that many important events were held in their hotels, simply because they were the best at keeping the guests safe and the paparazzi out. Also they were the best at confidentiality. Many stars stayed in their hotels because the staffs were loyal to each other and never leaked information to the press.

Tamaki was the Hotel's spokesperson; with his charismatic nature he was the best to represent then at events where other hotel managers were present.

Haruhi herself was the one who organized the Hotel, she was like Kyoya part of the management, and spent her time dealing with Staff problems and organising all big events that were booked to be held in one of their hotels.

However the biggest change was that both Haruhi and Tamaki had made up for the time they lost and started steadily dating. The couple had gotten engaged four months ago, and so the last four months had been hectic, since they were in midst of planning a grand wedding and running the chain of Hotels.

Haruhi had just exited the twin's suite from her last fitting session for her wedding dress. The twins refused to let her wear anything that wasn't custom made by them as her wedding dress. It was as she was waiting for the lift when Kyoya texted her saying that some important looking cars had pulled up in front of the Hotel.

Haruhi sighed. Her wedding was tomorrow and she hoped that these rich people had reservations, because she still had to finalize details for the reception which was being held in the Tokyo Hotel which they were all currently residing in.

Three black limousines pulled up in front of the Grand Host Hotel, putting the doormen and the bellhops into an immediate frenzy. A limousine meant rich customers which in turn meant good tips.

Kyoya watched as the passengers exited the limos, and as they did a frown formed on his face, and then without a second thought he exited his office and called the lift intent on getting down to the reception of the hotel. These guests were going to be a handful, and the timing was horrible.

'Why now after two and a half years do they suddenly turn up…' Kyoya thought as the elevator doors pinged open. At the same time he sent a message to the other members of the host club telling them to get down into the reception ASAP.

Down in the reception Tamaki was busy double checking the floral deliveries that were due to arrive tomorrow morning for the wedding.

He was so focused on the task at hand that he didn't notice who came through the entrance of the Hotel and make their way to the reception desk. The visitors didn't recognize the man at reception in the pristine white suit since they couldn't see his face.

Tamaki had just hung up the phone when a perfectly manicured hand tapped on the surface of the reception desk.

With a smile on his face Tamaki looked up ready to greet the guests with his usual cheeriness, but the people he saw in front of him made the smile drop straight of his face and his features went cold, the only emotion showing was in his eyes which clearly shone with hatred for the people standing in front of him. Standing up straight he crossed his arms and glared at the visitors waiting for them to speak.

The visitors themselves had various faces of shock on, as they recognized the man in front of them. Just as the eldest person was about to speak the four elevators opposite the reception desk opened and revealed six people who started to head towards the reception.

"Well what a surprise. What are the Suoh, Morinozuka, Haniozuka, Hitachiin and Ootori heads of family doing her I wonder?" said Kyoya in a cold clipped voice as he reached the crowd of unwanted visitors.

Behind him the twins were glaring, Honey was no better, and Mori had a frown on his face as he pulled Haruhi who had gone rigid behind him and out of the sight of their parents.

"What are you doing in our Hotel?" asked Tamaki, his face straight but voice cold and layered in hatred.

"We heard it was the best for organizing private functions. We wished to book one for tomorrow." Stated Kyoya's father, as he recovered from the shock of seeing his third son again.

"We can't do that, you'll have to go somewhere else, maybe the Hilton down the road." Stated the twins in union, with identical glares.

"You dare turn us away?" questioned the outraged Suoh Matriarch.

"Yes we dare grandmother dearest." stated Tamaki in a mocking tone. " We already have a wedding booked for tomorrow so there isn't any availability for your event, and besides even if there was we don't let murderers into our hotels." He finished in a dangerous voice which carried a hidden threat.

"Whose wedding is taking place that it is more important that the prestige of serving us." Interrupted the twin's mother.

Tamaki, who was now standing by Mori, gently pulled Haruhi into his arms and turned to face their families and said.

"Mine. I believe my wedding is more important that hosting a group of murderers." Then turning to Haruhi, he said to her. "Come on Haruhi; let's go check on the menu for tomorrow." With that he set off gently pulling her with him.

Haruhi spared a glance behind her, and saw the boys' families being herded out of the hotel by Mori, Hunny and their security force.

A thought hit her, but she ignored it for the time being as she followed her fiancé.
