AN: here's chapter two! sorry that its not as long, but that first chapter was orignally two chapters so...yeah. And thanks for all the reviews. No, Haruhi won't be crossdressing in this story, but she will be involved in the host club, in a way. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Haruhi awoke early the next morning, intent on getting to the school with enough time to properly look around. Walking down the hallways, she had been wandering around for ten minutes before asking a maid where the kitchen was.
Her dark eyes slid over the room as she entered. The kitchen, as they called it, could classify as a kitchen for a high class restaurant. It was amazing what rich people thought was normal. No one was currently inside so Haruhi wandered around looking for some cereal.
After a half hour of searching she gave up her quest and settled for a banana. She was about to walk back up stairs to get ready when a certain twin walked in the room.
They both stopped at seeing the other. Haruhi merely blinked while the boy gasped loudly.
"Kaoru! Kaoru hurry!" Hikaru called out in Japanese. His brother came skidding into the room hearing his call.
"What? Hikaru?" Kaoru's eyes landed on Haruhi and he too gasped. They both circled her before settling in their original spots.
"Kawaii!" They sang, hugging her. Haruhi looked at her reflection on the fridge (why they had a mirror on the fridge was beyond her) and gave a confused look. She was wearing purple short shorts with white stars and a white tank top with a purple shooting star on the front.
Her long hair was piled on top of her head and fell messily around her face. She didn't see how it was cute at all. All she did was put on clothes to sleep in and pull her hair up to keep it out of her face. She turned her befuddled expression to the twins, who were still cuddling her. They of course, thought she was confused because she couldn't understand them. But, to them, the look on her face made her even cuter.
"Kawaii! Kawaii! Our new toy is so kawaii!" They said, huge smiles spreading over their faces as they continued to hug her.
Just as she opened her mouth to ask what this 'toy' was, a maid walked into the room. "Miss Fujioka, your uniform is ready." She spoke in choppy English. Haruhi merely nodded as she withdrew herself from the twins' clutches.
"This will be fun. Ne, Hikaru?" Kaoru spoke. His brother nodded in agreement before calling for the chef.
Haruhi sat on the chair and tried to wait patiently for the girl to finish her hair. Earlier, she had thrown on the uniform and was ready to walk out the door when pulled back in by two girls who said they were under 'special orders' to make her look extra good for her first day.
She told them she didn't want anything too drastic so they settled on simply letting it down. But, of course, letting it down also entailed washing it, blow drying it, and then straightening it.
"There, it's done. See, Fujioka-san? It looks much better." The girl said. Haruhi looked into the mirror held before her. She thought it looked the same.
"Now for your make up." The other girl bounced over to her caring a case of many different assorted creams and powders.
"No, thank you. I'm good without it." Haruhi backed away, grabbing her bag. Making it to the door, she quickly exited muttering an apology over her shoulder.
Walking down the long drive way, she came to a stop when she realized she had no idea where she was going.
"Miss? I'm supposed to drive you to school, you don't have to walk." A white haired man spoke. He was sitting inside a small car that was parked in a long row of assorted vehicles. Muttering something along the lines of rich bastards and global warming under her breath, Haruhi walked over to the man.
"Oh, thank you. Would you mind taking me now?" Haruhi asked rather sweetly.
"Now? But the young masters don't normally leave for another hour. Wouldn't you rather wait to go with them?" The man asked, being used to girls who normally came around and would be falling all over the two boys.
"No. They're…what's the word?" Haruhi thought for a moment. "Oh, I know, annoying." She deadpanned.
The old man broke into laughter, not being able to contain it. "I apologize." He said as he got himself under control. "Of course I can take you now. Let me just pull around the limo."
"No need. This car is fine." Haruhi jumped into the passenger seat of the car he was already sitting in. He gave off another chuckle as he pulled out of the driveway.
"I think you're exactly what this house needs." She gave him a questioning glance but didn't ask.
Hikaru and Kaoru sat at their desks, eyeing the students within the room. The driver had told them Haruhi had already gone to school since she needed extra time to check in.
"Hikaru-kun, Kaoru-kun. Did you hear? A new transfer student is coming here." A girl with shoulder length light brown hair spoke. They smiled up at her, putting on their host club charm.
"Really? I hope it's someone interesting. It would be nice to have a new friend." Hikaru said, smiling at the group of girls around them.
"Hikaru, are you…not happy with me anymore? Are you trying to…replace me?" Kaoru turned his head away as tears leaked out of his eyes. "Am I not good enough anymore?"
"No, Kaoru, I could never replace you." Hikaru took him into a hug as the fan girls squealed behind them, watching the display of twin love.
"Hitachiin, how many times do I have to tell you to stop distracting the class?" The teacher spoke out, adjusting her glasses. Looking at each other, they shrugged it off while the other students scurried back to their seats.
"Now, class, we have a new student that I would like to introduce. She's come a long way to get here so be nice." Haruhi stepped through the door, her long brown hair falling around her innocent face. The pale yellow dress clung to her petite form and made her already big brown eyes seem even bigger.
Murmurs of 'Wow, she's pretty.' And 'Dude that girl is so cute.' Echoed around the room as all eyes were on her.
"This is Fujioka Haruhi. Want to say anything Haruhi-san?" The teacher asked, smiling kindly at the girl. Hikaru and Kaoru scoffed at the teacher.
"Hikaru, she's talking in Japanese. Poor Haruhi-chan can't understand her." Kaoru whispered.
"You're right, Kaoru, lets say someth-" Hikaru started, but was cut off by the girl standing up front.
"Etto, it's nice to meet all of you. I hope I don't cause anyone any trouble." Haruhi said, smiling sweetly at the class. The boys all seemed to be drooling at their seats while the girls either returned the smile or glared in envy.
The twins, having been speaking in Japanese thinking she couldn't understand them, had their jaws hanging down in shock.
"Ne, ne, Hikaru. When did she learn Japanese?" Kaoru murmured, waving a hand in front of his face. Hikaru only shrugged before looking back to the front of the class.
The teacher was looking over the seating chart trying to find a good spot for her new student. There were a couple seats up front, but she had received a message about this situation that morning. 'It said to place Haruhi with the Hitachiins since that's who she's staying with for now.'
"Ok, Haruhi-san, I have a seat for you." She turned back to the class. "Hikaru-san, I'm going to need you to move over. That will be Haruhi-san's seat from now on." She motioned to the boy sitting to the left of his identical sibling.
The class fell into silence as they watched the brothers. Their golden eyes slid to the side, looking at the other. With a shrug the Hitachiin stood and moved over one seat.
"Thank you, Hikaru-san. Now, I'll be right back. Haruhi-san, go ahead and take your seat." Haruhi, who hadn't really been paying attention to anything the woman had said, walked slowly to the back of the room. After a gathering some papers, the teacher left. The moment the door closed, the class broke into conversation. A few girls greeted her while boys watched, too shy to approach with everyone watching.
Haruhi made her way to her seat and calmly sat down. Both twins were staring intently at the girl between them, giving her the same accusing look. It was Kaoru who spoke first.
"Haruhi, I thought you didn't speak Japanese." He moved to lean on the front of her desk, his hands resting on the wood and his head bent down to look her in the eyes. He had on a devilish smirk that made the girl a little bit nervous.
"I never said that." Haruhi countered, her face serious.
"But you never said you could either." Hikaru pointed out, wrapping his arms around her shoulders from behind and resting his head atop hers.
"Well, I guess that would have to be because you never asked." She said simply, removing Hikaru from herself.
"Hmm…Well, I say that because you got us, we need to get you back." Hikaru grinned slyly at his brother, striding around the desk to where he stood.
"You're right. I'd say this little trick you just played on us deserves a penalty." Kaoru mimicked his brother's expression while leaning an arm on his shoulder.
"Hitachiin, I'm not going to warn you again. Now sit." The teacher hissed, walking back into the room.
"Hai, hai." They mumbled, sauntering back to their seats. A while had passed and Haruhi was content. The twins, luckily and surprising, hadn't tried anything during class. She may have only known them for a day now, but they gave her the impression that they were rather persistent.
They had finally been given a free period, although considering that they had to do something constructive, she wouldn't exactly call it free. Attending this school was going to be harder than she had thought, but luckily Haruhi had some really good study habits. Taking out a book she thought back on the day. It had started out ok, but lunch had been a total disaster. Three boys had managed to confess to her before she had fled back into the safety of the classroom.
The sad part was none of those boys were even in her class. The other thing that made the day hard was the fact that wherever she went it seemed like two very annoying and loud identical set of people followed her.
They had had a whining fit when she had ditched them in the middle of lunch. Sighing, she turned back to her book, determined to finish the chapter.
"Hikaru-san. Please put that gameboy away." The teacher said, sounding exasperated. The day was nearly over and she was at her limits.
Haruhi, who had been reading, looked to her left at Hikaru. To her surprise, there was no gameboy in his hands, only a very poorly made origami swan constructed from their homework. He seemed determined to make the wings perfect and didn't even look up when the teacher called out his name.
Her head turned to her right and saw Kaoru putting a gameboy in his bag. Her head tilted to the side as she watched him. His eyes met her confused ones and he brought up an eyebrow in question.
"But Hikaru is…" Haruhi looked back over her shoulder at Hikaru and turned back to Kaoru. Shaking her head she went back to reading her book, oblivious to the two boys staring at her in confusion.
The school bell rang and the brown haired girl was walking out of the classroom with her fellow students, determined to leave before the twins caught up to her.
"Ha-ru-hi-chan!" Rang out two voices. Quickening her pace, she walked down different hallways trying to loose them. She honestly had no idea where she was going, but anywhere was fine for now. Somewhere quiet would be preferable though, if she could choose.
Passing by various different rooms, Haruhi came to a stop before large white doors. The sign above said Third Music Room. Pressing her ear to the door, Haruhi didn't hear any music coming from inside.
Figuring no one was using the room, she opened the door and stepped inside.
AN: and host club madness shall start! Ok, tell me what you think! I'm hoping to update soon. I really enjoy writing this story.
