Chapter 8 - The Ambush
It was a day that the sensei had decided to hold me back in order to speak to me. Which meant that I was already running late for the host club. Oh well. I might have to suffer the Shadow King's wrath for being late today. However, as I walked by an empty room on my way up to the third music room, someone grabbed me from behind and pulled me in.
Instantly, my mouth was covered as well, but by something warm. "I'm glad to have caught you before you got all the way to the club room." Eclair whispered into my ear after breaking off the kiss for a moment.
"E-Eclair! You startled me! But, you do realize I am late-" I started to say, but got cut off again. She was kissing me again. I moaned as she deepened it.
"Late. For. Host. Club. Need. To. Go." I attempted between kisses after a few more minutes. "No. You are mine today." Eclair said.
"I'm always yours. Need to go though or senpai will add to my debt. Can always continue to request me today though." I suggested as I finally managed to disentangle us. I knew I had to tidy up my appearance. I barely registered the fact that Eclair had her phone out and had sent the Shadow King a text to say that I was with her.
Then again, my response to getting ready, and for the Shadow King's wrath too, I was pulled back into the embrace of Eclair. "Ootori-san says that it is fine that you miss today, since you are with me." She said.
"And, how much did my debt go up?" I asked curiously, though I just felt my phone vibrate a bit. I was scared to even look at it.
"He won't touch your debt. I told him I'd pay the losses tomorrow for today."
"I really would like to pay off my debt though, Eclair. Eventually, I want to come out as a girl and not be a guy the whole time I am in high school." I explained as I tried to wiggle out of her grasp a bit again, but she was too busy making a love bite on my neck to let me go.
"Why don't I pay your debt off to the host club? Then we can also reveal our relationship." She suggested.
"I don't want you paying off my debt though. Otherwise, I am sure that the guys would have just wiped it clean at some point if I wasn't so persistent in paying it off myself." I shrugged.
"You can become in debt with me then if I paid it off for you." She replied back. I sighed.
"We're going to keep arguing about this, aren't we?" I asked.
"Yes, we are. Or, you can give in and let me win this one." She smirked. I shivered.
"Fine. You win. I'll become your slave then. Although, I am going to miss the guys if you pay it off." I mused a bit. I felt my phone vibrate again. I knew I couldn't leave it for much longer.
The first one was from Kaoru. Hey, are you coming? Teach couldn't have kept you that long!
The second one was from none other than the Shadow King himself. Increased debt of 50,000 yen for troubles caused.
I looked at the time. I had talked to my sensei for at least 20 minutes after class. Not to mention that we had been cuddled up in this particular room for at least an hour and a half, which put the time at 6pm already. The doors to the Third Music Room would be closed to customers right now, but the others could still be there like normal.
"Want to go up to the music room now to see what they guys are doing? And to see how much I owe?" I asked.
"Hm. That's a good idea. I guess they are closed now, aren't they?" She replied with a question.
"Yeah, we close at 6pm to the public, but everyone sticks around to watch me clean generally. Which my debt increased by 50,000 yen too by the way." I mentioned. We were only a half dozen doors away from the Music Room, so we were there within a minute. I opened the doors to the room. In some ways, it felt like deja vu of how I met the host club. Only difference was how I was presented now compared to then.
There were six pairs of eyes trained on me as soon as I walked in. Well, Eclair followed me in too as if it were natural for her.
"My darling daughter! Where have you been?!"Tamaki cried out.
"Yeah! Where were you. Surely the sensei couldn't have talked to you all the way up until now!" The twins whined.
"Kyoya-senpai, you really didn't give them a clue?" I asked.
"Of course not. But, as I told you, 50000 yen went onto your debt for the troubles." He replied.
"Kyoya-san, how much does Haruhi owe on her debt?"Eclair finally asked, wanting to get to the point quickly.
He quickly added it up. "She owes 3,564,000 yen now to the club."
"Very well. I am paying off Haruhi's debt today then. Just so that she can finally reveal herself as a female sooner rather than later. When she wants to do it, is up to her." Eclair told the boys.
"Not to mention that it would be nice to reveal my relationship with Eclair. I don't want to keep having Eclair make excuses for our alone time." I stated.
"Relationship? With a Tonnere?" Tamaki-senpai asked.
"Ah, yeah. We were childhood friends once. We sort of grew on each other after that point. Only when she returned to Japan did we discover that we could pick up that friendship but that we also wanted more out of it. Her parents and my father both just want us to be happy." I told them.
"Are you happy with her?" Hikaru asked.
"I am." It was at that time that something clicked. Hikaru liked me. "Gomen, Hikaru. I can only think of you as a friend. All of you are friends to me. I don't know why, but ladies appealed to me more than males did. Gomen." I whispered.
"Cheer up Hitachiin! You're going to be on dress duty for awhile!" Eclair smirked again. I groaned.
"Why'd you groan, Haru-chan?" Honey-senpai asked.
"My girlfriend is even more evil than Kyoya-senpai. If she's saying dresses, then they are the lacy and frilly kind. Considering that my agreement was that I had to do what she said since she just finished paying off my debt." Was all I said as I turned a light scarlet. Hikaru's ears perked up at that though.
"And a few other choice of garments that I seem to enjoy. I'll have you the list tomorrow boys!" Eclair added. I turned even more scarlet since I knew what they were. From there, she all but dragged me out of the room with her. Down to her waiting limousine.
