I sighed, taking a photo of a tea set as I stared at it. I had been at the host club for one week, and all they seemed to do was cosplay and entertain their guests.
Plus my camera was almost full with photos of the hosts. Which would probably be very creepy to my brother if he saw them.
I was so bored. Where were all the stories Haruhi told me about helping other people with weird problems, or going on vacation? Why did all the weirdness have to stop now?
I am so bored.
I was hoping something would happen soon. I looked over at the twins sitting at the next table over with their guests. They were playing the "which one was Hikaru game."
I don't think I knew the difference just yet. Kaoru had a softer voice then Hikaru, but it was hard to tell when they spoke in unison. Oh well, im sure I'll tell them apart in time.
In the break between guest appointments, the club was talking about something. Probably something to do with the fact that Haruhi wasn't at school today.
I had the feeling I should know where she was. This day felt familiar, but I couldn't tell why. Oh well, if it was really important I'd remember.
I got up and walked over to the hosts. I handed my camera over to Kyoya. "Here are the photos from the past week, I hope they're alright," I said, and Kyoya nodded and started looking through them.
"Hey Kit-chan, do you know where Haru-chan is today?" Honey asked me, and I could almost see the little flowers coming off him. "Yeah," said Tamaki, coming over and putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Where is my precious daughter?" He said. Daughter? Really?... I thought confused. "No sorry, I don't know where she is," I told him, and then stepped away so he fell flat on his face.
"Mama! Where could my precious daughter be!" Tamaki cried. At the present moment, I knew I should be worried about the fact that Tamaki was calling Haruhi his daughter, and Kyoya "mama" but the word mama struck a cord in me.
Oh… "Oops," I mumbled out loud. Eyes turned my way. "What?" The twins said in unison. "Uh sorry guys, but I have to go, so see you later," I said edging closer and closer to the door, the turning and powerwalking out.
Hikaru P.O.V
"Where are you going?!" Kaoru and I called out to Kitty. She threw an answer back, but we were to far away to hear it properly. "What was that about?" I asked.
"Yeah what does oops mean?" Kaoru followed up. "Well" Kyoya said. "I might be wrong, but I think today is Haruhi's mothers death anniversary. I suspect Kitzume knew and only remembered just then," He said.
Silence. "Oops indeed," my twin and I said. "WHAT?" Tamaki screamed. "MY POOR HARUHI!" He said totally flipping out. Tono takes it a bit to far sometimes.
"Kyoya!" Tamaki ordered calming down. Find out where her mother is buried! We must honour the wonderful woman that raised our Haruhi!" He said.
Kitzume's P.O.V
"Ah, there's the graveyard," I said to myself as I pounded towards the gates. I wanted to get there before Haruhi left. She took me here soon after we met, but I wasn't sure if I could remember where exactly the grave was.
It turns out; the grave wasn't too far away from where I was standing now, although I only recognized it because Haruhi was sitting beside it.
I moved over to her and sat down next to her. Her eyes were puffy and tears were silently rolling down her cheeks, and they were closed now, so she hadn't noticed I had arrived.
I decided not to disturb her for a while, and just sat there next to her. I looked at the grave.
Here lies Kotoko Fujioka
Loving Wife and Mother
She will be missed
"Kitty," Said Haruhi. I turned to her she had opened her eyes. They were red from crying, although she seemed to be controlling it now.
I didn't really know what to say. "Are you alright," Sounds heartless, obviously she wasn't alright.
I decided to opt out of talking, and just wrapped my arms around her. I think she was expecting me to say something, because she faltered for a second and looked a bit surprised.
But then she hugged me back. I could feel her start to cry again, and she gripped me tighter. A funny fact about Haruhi, she prefers to cry silently, instead of wailing.
Anyway, I was glad she trusted me enough to let her feelings out. Haruhi was often closed off, but less so after meeting the host club.
"I'll be right back," I told her, standing up and racing away. I went back to the front gates, where many rosebushes were growing. I picked one of each colour. A red one, a purple one, a yellow one, a dark blue one, an Orange one, a light blue one, a pink one and a green one.
I clutched them together in one hand, making sure to keep my fingers clear of thorns and I ran back to Haruhi. There were already lots of flowers on Kotoko's grave, but adding my own wouldn't hurt.
I placed the roses on the grave. Haruhi smiled at me and I gripped her hand. "Haruhi?" I heard Tamaki's voice sound from behind us.
He and all the other hosts were also behind us. Tamaki bent down next to Haruhi and hugged her. Then one by one the other hosts did the same until they all formed one big group hug around Haruhi.
Haruhi looked a little uncomfortable, but genuinely happy, and almost seemed to be tearing up again. "Thanks guys," She said, and I couldn't help but join in the hug as well. Aww this is nice I thought.
On the way back to school to pick up our bags, I was walking behind everyone. Tamaki and Haruhi were talking, Kyoya was writing in his book, surprisingly missing all objects, despite having his head down.
Honey was on Mori's back, and the twins were…
"Hey Kitty!" The twins said, popping up either side of me. "Hi," I said nonchalantly.
"We were wondering," Kaoru started. "How long have you known Haruhi? How did you know today was her mothers death anniversary?" Hikaru finished.
"For little more than a year. I transferred to Ouran Academy at the start of high school, and Haruhi and I took the entrance exams together. We became friends, but we were separated into different classes so we saw less of each other," I said, kind of rushing through the sentence.
"Heh," They said, pretty satisfied with that answer. "Where'd you transfer from?" Kaoru asked. "Lobelia Girls Academy, " I said.
I swear if the twins had something to drink they would have spat it out in shock. "W-what?" Kaoru stuttered. "Why did you leave?" Hikaru asked cautiously.
"I didn't like the way it worked, so I transferred," I said confused. Kaoru sighed in relief, and Hikaru nodded. "Wise choice," He said.
It was the right choice I thought happily.
And chapter two done!
This is like the first time I have finished two chapters in under a week! Yay!
