A.N/ Hey everyone! Thank you so much for reading my story so far! A BIG thanks for the reviewers so far I was literally jumping for joy! I never imagined I would get 10 followers on my first story. Sorry for taking so long. School has been crazy with homework and I've suffered writer's block for a good while :/ Hope you all like the new chapter!

Chapter 4

" Hazel?" All the voices of the host club exclaimed as they saw me in my maid uniform. Of all the people who had to see me in uniform it has to be the host club didn't it? My body was frozen stiff in the doorway as my eyes were wide at the sight of the men. Why didn't I figure out it was them earlier? After all it was unusual for Nanami to have more guests than usual.

" Hazel, why don't you bring in the tea for my guests? We were just talking about the party being held at the manor next week so you might as well stay because I need you to tell all the preparations which have been sorted out."

My false smile returns to my face as I say, " Yes, Tokinawa-sama." With caution I set down the cups and teapot onto the table. There is no way I can afford to pay for damages; if I broke them and I can't afford to lose money especially with the rent this month.

" Haz-chan!" Suddenly, I felt a huge weight around my waist and turn to find Honey-senpai clinging onto me as if he was a monkey.

" Hi Honey-senpai." With Honey on my back it made pouring the tea much more difficult than it needed to be but I don't mind it so much as he is nice to me.

" You look really cute in that maid uniform Haz-chan!" My hand froze and I use my hair to hide my face as I knew I would look as red as a tomato right now.

" T-t-thank you. But it's only a uniform." I murmur quietly.

" My daughter looks so cute in her little maid uniform!" Tamaki began to fawn over me with tears flowing from his eyes. " Haruhi, you have to wear this!"

"No way in hell, senpai!" Haruhi shouted. Quickly, Tamaki grabbed onto Haruhi's violet blazer. Desperately, He was trying to run from his tight grasp but wasn't getting very far. This was odd. Why would Tamaki want to dress Haruhi in girl's clothes?

" Haruhi... by any chance like... cross dressing?" Suddenly, everyone froze.

" Of course not! It's just that Haruhi looks a lot like a girl... Not that he is a girl of course!"

The twins joined in out of desperation, " Haruhi is the most manly guy we know! He's beat up the best sumo wrestler in the school!"

" You idiots, you must be able to come up with a better reason than that!" Tamaki shouted disapprovingly.

What the hell are they on about?! " If Haruhi cross dresses it doesn't make him any less of a man than any other men." Relieved sighs were heard around the room.

" Cross dressing runs in his family. His dad works at a tranny bar." Honey explained cheerfully.

"Really? Is that true Haruhi?"

" Yeah, he's worked there for a long time now."

" Alright. The tea is ready. Here's the tea. Be careful it will still be a bit hot yet." Mori took Honey off my back as I began to hand out the tea. Each of the hosts gave me a polite smile in return. Once I got to the Hitachiin twins my nerves took a turn for the worst. Hikaru was obviously ignoring me which for a strange reason made me feel even worse. I started to shake as I handed him the cup. I hope he didn't catch on to how nervous I was feeling around him. Next, I had more ease handing Kaoru his cup of tea until...

" Hazel." I glance up at him and suddenly, he pulled my ear down to his mouth. Gently, he whispered, " Don't worry about Hikaru. He'll get over it. It's not like he hates you so don't be so nervous." I shivered a little as I felt his warm breath on my neck. My cheeks were flushed with rosy red as I saw his encouraging smile. Panicking at our closeness I pulled away and knocked over the cup spilling the tea all over his trousers. He gave a pained shriek.

" I'M SO SORRY! WHAT SHOULD I DO?" A surge of panic ran through me. Kaoru was clutching his leg tightly with his face wincing at the pain. Quickly, Hikaru went over to his brother.

" Kaoru! Are you alright?!" His eyes were full of worry for his brother. I gasp in surprise as his eyes narrowed as he looked at me. I grabbed a towel I had been holding and tried to wipe the stain on his leg at a furiously fast rate.

" Umm... Hazel I think your wiping in the wrong place." Kaoru stated nervously. I look at him bewildered like a deer in headlights and then glance down... Holy... Was I wiping near his...

" OH MY GOD! I AM SO SORRY!" Flushing a vibrant shade of red, I hide my face from his view.

" Kaoru what are you doing letting someone else touch you?! You know I'm the only one allowed to toy with your body." Hikaru gazed with meaningful eyes.

" I'm sorry Hikaru. You know I only like it when you touch my body."

Both twins sent sinister smirks in my direction. Rich red was flowing at a steady pace down my face.

" Did you like that Hazel? It's pay back for earlier." Those... JOKERS! I've been humiliated yet again!

" You... Do you ever get sick of annoying the hell out of me?!"

" No you are our new toy after all." They stated simultaneously. This can't be good! I don't want to put up with their teasing. Someone please help me get away from these tricksters.

" If we could get on with the meeting it would be helpful." Nanami interrupted looking irritated.

" I am sorry, Tokinawa-sama. Forgive me for getting too carried away." Like the servant I am, I bow before my master.

" Go and clean yourself up you look like a disgrace." Nanami turned around avoiding my gaze as she looked ashamed me.

" As you wish." I could feel all the hosts stares on me. To some extent Haruhi looked shocked. I'm sure they have seen servants before, what makes me any different? Without a second glance, I exit the room.

Once I made it to the kitchen I was surprised that there hadn't been any explosions. Both Hibiki and Ren were busy at work making the only thing they could without wreaking the place; cake.

" It hasn't even been half an hour and you haven't wreaked the kitchen yet. It must be a new personal best!" I announced. I'm happy they have actually made progress.

" Is that supposed to be sarcasm?! I can go a whole day without exploding anything or wreaking the kitchen!" Spinning around Ren turns to look at me. His eyes enlarged as he gaped at me in awe as he saw the bloody river running down my face. " What the hell is wrong with you?! You don't have a serious illness, do you?"

" Don't panic! It's nothing!" Frantically, I wave my hands preventing him coming any closer.

" Would it have anything to do with those very good looking guys you have your eyes on up in Nanami's room?" Hibiki suggested slyly as he glanced in my direction. A immediate rush of red to my face gave him the answer he wanted.

" OF COURSE NOT! Why would I even look at them in that w..." I stopped realising it was useless to be stubborn. Ever since, I was young Hibiki could always read me like a book.

" Where you have fantasies about them?" His grin widened even further. Instantly I ran to the sink, slashing my face with the cool water, ridding it of the rusty coloured blood.

" Trying to get rid of the evidence after we've already seen it. Don't worry Hazel we are good at keeping secrets. We won't tell everyone about your wild imagination."

" That's enough of your teasing! I get enough from those two jokers at school!" I had my hand in my hair gripping it in frustration.

" Oh so now there is two of them~" Great, I've made things a hell of a lot worse for myself. Nice going there.

" I know what you're thinking so don't you dare mention anything to anyone at all!"

" Who said I would? I did say earlier..."

" Just stop. I"ve had enough! I'm not listening anymore!" Childishly, I put my hands over my ears, singing very loudly the song Hibiki hates the most.

" ALRIGHT! I'LL STOP! PLEASE SPARE ME ALL SO GREAT HAZEL-SAMA!" Dramatically, he was on the ground bowing in mercy at my presence, treating me highly as if I was a God. Abruptly, Ren bursted out in a fit of laughter holding his sides desperately to trying to breath properly. HIbiki let a brief snicker before joining Ren, laughing uncontrollably. Soon after I couldn't stop laughing, my cheeks aching from smiling too much. After a few minutes, of wheezing for breath we look at each other greeting with wide, cheesy grins.

A clicking of heels smashing against the solid, polished floor could be heard in the distance. The clatter getting closer and closer to our destination. A small maid slammed open the door and crashed into Ren making them crash land straight onto the floor.

" Sorry Mr Cook! I didn't mean to bump into you. I was panicking because I was told to find the mistress's personal maid straight away!" The clumsy maid, which was currently sat on top of a very bashful cook, is called Sakura Takano. She only joined the staff a couple of weeks ago. The poor girl had been in search of a job for months as her family struggle with money and her job here at the household pays a significant amount if her school fees.

On her face was thin rimmed glasses which perched on her nose. Her unusual hazel eyes shone with concern and her astonishing bright flame orange hair was tied in a pony tail with her fringe framing her heart shaped face. Her personality is very unusual as she is always cheery no matter what and is sincere to everyone. However, she isn't very good at remembering names so she calls most people by the name of their profession.

" Eh... It's no problem. But please can you get off my stomach, you're making it difficult to breathe," Ren gasped out.

Confused, she looks down at him and finally puts the pieces together. Stunned, she froze of a moment and then burst into a panicked frenzy. Carefully, Hibiki lifted her off Ren and he let out a sharp sigh of relief.

" Sakura, what does Nanami want from me?" I asked. From a moment she looked in awe as she finally noticed my presence.

" Ah, so you're the main maid! Have we met before?" Am I really that invisible to her? She's met Ren less times than she has met me so why does this always happen?

" Yes, we have. I gave you a guided tour on your first day here and we have met several times during the two weeks you have been working here."

"... Oh yeah! You've helped me out so many times! Thanks for everything so far. I have been meaning to say that for a while but I kept forgetting who you were."

" It's fine so what does Nanami want?" I have the feeling I will have to have a lot of patience with this girl.

" She wants you to show out the guests and make sure all the limos are here for their departure."

" Thank you for telling me. I have the leave so please make sure the cooks don't blow anything up." Loyally, she saluted.

" Yes sir! I mean... Ma'am" I heard the experimental cooks snigger under their breaths.

" I have a warning for you two. If anything and I mean anything happens I will personally deal with you some kind of punishment so terrifying you won't wrong me again!" They looked in horror as they knew I was serious. " Now enjoy cooking!" I beam a false smile that scared the pair.

I don't even have any punishments in mind but as a kid I would always prank them if they annoyed me. I'm sure I will come up with something. Now, I have to go outside and waiting for them to arrive before I can call all of them down stairs. I didn't even have to check if all the limos were there. They were all waiting in a neat row. Once I step outside I felt relieved to be out where it was cooler. Sometimes it gets too much being in the house. Sometimes I imagine my parents are still working in the room with me. There are so many reminders. The majestic cherry blossom which stands proudly in the middle of the noble Tokinawa estate is one of few places where I held good memories of my parents.

When ever I was upset I would climb that tree. All the way to the top. My dad would always follow me up there first and he would comfort me. He would always say at the end no matter how hard you're troubles are just smile. Not to sound weird he was always a happy man. He would always wear a stupid grin even at the most awkward of times. My mum said that was the best trait about him; his smile. The best time up in that tree was when the sun sets. Unique shades of orange and purple would infiltrate the sky taking away the azure blue. A warm hand pat my head, waking me from my dreamlike memory. I turn to see Kaoru looking at the landscape. The sun sending a warm glow on his skin. His amber gem like eyes sparkled in the light.

" Sorry for getting you into trouble with Nanami. Me and Hikaru can get a bit carried away at the worst of times." My head suddenly felt very hot from his delicate touch. His warmth felt comforting. Thump. Thump. My heart began to pick up speed and I felt strange. It wasn't like I was ill but I felt flustered.

" It's fine. How come you're not with the others upstairs?"

" I needed to get out. Talking about party planing and business gets boring after a while. Kyoya-senpai does all the business arrangements anyway. All the boss does is distract Haruhi and tries to bug him."

" Where's Hikaru? Usually you aren't seen together without each other. Never mind speak of the devil." Strolling slowly with an utterly bored expression, Hikaru yawned as he approached us.

" Have you been playing with our toy without me, Kaoru?" That same sly smile broke out on his face again.

" I'm sorry Hikaru but that meeting was so boring that I wanted to go off and have some fun." A cold shiver climbed up my spine at an alarming rate. The twins stood either side of me bending down to my ears.

Hikaru whispered, " If you are feeling cold..."

" Let both of us warm you up." Kaoru finished. Heat rose to my face as I stumbled back and I lost my footing. Instantly, I clench my eyes shut. It was a long way to the bottom of the steps so I braced my myself for impact. But the impact never came. I felt a strangle heat source in front of me. Shouldn't the ground be hard and cold?

" Hazel are you alright?" Kaoru asked concerned. Reluctantly I open my eyes and blush as I was held in his arms and my face buried in his chest. I was lost for words. Slowly I , I push myself from his grasp.

Footsteps could be heard approaching closer and we all turned to see the rest of the host club and Nanami deep in conversation. Kyoya was furiously scribbling in his notebook taking down everything to the last detail. Honey was clinging to Mori tightly like a koala bear. Tamaki was walking along side her.

" Hazel, are the limos are prepared?" Nanami said with an authoritative voice.

" Yes, all the host's limos are here." I responded.

" Thank you the meeting. We will be in touch Miss Tokinawa." Kyoya said professionally as he slammed his note book shut.

" The pleasures all mine. Thank you for being here today."

" Ok, we'll be going then. Bye my daughter!" Tamaki launched himself on me clinging with all his might.

" Bye... Daddy." It felt awkward yet strangely comforting.

All the hosts left waving. For some reason my eyes seemed to follow Kaoru. There was just something about him that made me feel strange. I wonder why...
