Chapter Three: Let's Party
I don't know OHSHC. I only own Akari
"You're Mori's younger sister?" Haruhi asked surprised.
"Yes, I am," Akari replied back, "I left three years ago from the main house, and I decided to venture off on my own for a while."
"You ran away," Mori spoke surprising everyone.
"Yeah, Mori and I were devastated, Ari-Chan," Hunny said with watery eyes.
Akari went to hug Hunny, "I'm sorry Hunny." Hunny started to cry while hugging Akari.
"Well, it certainly turned good for you while living in America," Kyouya spoke, "Must have been great considering being wealthy and rich."
"Well, I didn't tell anyone who I was," Akari explained, "I wanted to live as a commoner for a short while and that I what I did. No maids, no servants, and I did everything myself. It was pretty great actually. It shows how life really is."
"Well Akari, I'd say I would have to disagree with," Kyouya spoke and Akari had a weird face, okay whatever you say.
"Akari Morinozuka, the sibling that ran away from home at the beginning of middle school year; became a pop star and taught Marital Arts, Kendo and Karate in America. Live a nice comfy life, rich and famous I do say," Kyouya pointed out.
"You only researched the part of me that was famous for a time being," Akari snarled, she didn't like it when people actually knew about her. "Once I found out from the beginning, being rich wasn't the greatest thing in the world, and then I moved out of my big house, moved into a quieter area, where no one could find me but where I can still do what I wanted to do."
"I see," Hikari commented, "But I still don't get it."
"Why would you, want to live a commoner life?" Kaoru added in.
"Because being famous isn't what I wanted in the beginning," Akari sighed, "I'm not telling this story."
"To change the topic, how did you play Noelle pretty well?" Haruhi asked.
"Well, I like to act, I did that too," Akari added, "It was going pretty well until you had to catch certain things Haruhi, why are you so smart?"
"Sorry," Haruhi replied.
"Don't worry," Akari said, "Part of it was my fault. I have old habits that I can't let go, and if I don't use them, then I won't remember them, it's like learning a new language. I know a lot of languages though, it guess I'm glad I choose to live in the United States. Many people from around the world live there."
"What are you doing back then?" Haruhi asked.
"Yeah why did you come back Ari-chan?" Hunny asked his cousin.
"Well, I decided I might as well finish school, being a pop star is hard work, I missed my brother, and I was tired of running," Akari explained.
"Running from what?" Tamaki asked.
"Spoilers," Akari spoke.
Akari looked at her watch. "I got to go guys, I got to make dinner and I got to go to the store. I need to buy a new cell phone," Akari said, "I'm sorry leaving in a rush!" She then ran outside of the club room and ran to the nearby hotel that she was currently staying in. Akari placed her bag in her room, and then exited the hotel to go to the nearby electronics store and bought a new phone. She was glad she finally had a phone again and probably wasn't going to take it to school anytime soon.
The next day Akari walked to school in her modified uniform with her bag in her hands that had all of her work and she was quite pleased. She caught up with everything that she had to do, and for once actually had free time. It was definitely a good experience of just being able to relax. Akari always thought walking to school was relaxing especially when you could just smell the fresh cut grass or feel the sunlight warmth against your skin. It was wonderful but soon her free time would end, especially after the call she got yesterday.
Akari still got bullied. The three girls Hina, Emiko, and Sayuri were in the one of each other's limos when they drove past Akari and the car slowed down and a window was rolled down.
"Walking to school miss pop star?" Emiko snarled out.
Akari sighed, "What are you jealous of?" It was obvious in the tone of voice that all three of those girls still hated Akari.
"Nothing," Sayuri replied back. "We are just glad that we aren't like you, lonely and poor."
"I'm not lonely," Akari spoke back, "I got friends, and I got pride in myself, and I also don't need to be wasting my time on you, I really don't even care if you die or not. Seriously."
"How rude!" Hina called out from her seat.
"I'm going to school now," Akari called out and started to walk towards the school again with a smile on face while humming a nice tune in her head. Akari finally got to the school and felt many stares. She turned around and saw basically mostly the student population just looking at her.
"Guys, just treat me normal. This should be easy for you," Akari called out, and then everyone went back to what they were doing.
"Didn't they listen the first time," Akari mumbled to herself when she saw Emiko, Sayuri, and Hina glaring at her.
"They are gonna have tons of wrinkles by the age of thirty," Akari told herself and laughed. She always made herself laugh. Akari made it to her classroom and sat down in her seat and got her items out and began to start on her work. The teacher already wrote what they needed to do, and Akari was already starting to begin her day.
"As they say the early bird gets the worm, which means if I get things ton early, I may be able to leave early. This system sucks, but I heard they are changing to an American class system with four periods a day for two semesters and then four different periods for another two semesters. This is great, I hope I can request gym all year long, it will be great for my health and I just love gym," Akari was talking to herself. It made her day go faster. Akari looked at the clock, "five more minutes until homeroom and yet I got half of the day's work done already.
Then Hikaru, Kaoru and Haruhi walked into class. Girls that were already there swoon over the hosts.
"Man, if Sasuke Uchiha was here right now, they definitely wouldn't be near those hosts anymore," Akari spoke to herself once again.
"What are you talking about Akari?" Haruhi asked her.
"WAH!" Akari jumped, "You startled me Haruhi!"
"Sorry, sorry Akari-chan," Haruhi apologized. Akari turned to Haruhi from her seat, "I was just mumbling about everything that was happening within the moment. I was basically entertaining myself in this world while doing my classwork and all."
"But the day has only begun…" Haruhi said but then she looked at Akari's desk and noticed that most of her work was basically half way finished.
"WHAT? How did you get all that work done so fast?!" Haruhi asked surprised.
"I get here early," Akari replied as it was the most common thing in the world.
"I'm surprised; you must have nothing to do huh?" Haruhi asked her.
"Yeah, but it's alright. I barely have free time anymore, and I was glad that once I got here, I had loads of free time. I just wish I was spending it more wisely," Akari explained.
"Well, the host club is sponsoring a party tomorrow night," Haruhi stated.
"I don't know, I might have to pass on that," Akari stopped Haruhi before she could ask her anymore. "I'm really not into parties."
"At least you have a choice," Haruhi mumbled.
"Oh, is that host club, making you go," Akari said all teasingly.
"Unfortunately yes," Haruhi complied, "I've never been to a party before, only to festivals held in my neighborhood park."
"What are you two talking about?" two pairs of voices said. Akari and Haruhi looked over to see Hikaru and Kaoru standing next to each other and looking at them both.
"The party tomorrow night," Haruhi answered.
"Oh the party!" Hikaru replied happily.
"You better be ready Haruhi," Kaoru to his friend.
"I am, Kanako is helping me to dance, remember?" Haruhi asked to make sure they remembered.
"Of course we remember," Hikaru replied for him and his brother. Then he looked over at Akari. He gave her a small glare that she noticed but then asked her, "Are you going Akari?"
"Hmm, probably not, but why do you ask?" Akari replied to his question.
"Boss apparently wants you to go," Kaoru replied, "He says that you need to be there, though he didn't say why."
"Great," Akari sighed, "Now I have to go."
"YES!" Hikaru and Kaoru exclaimed with a smile. Just then the bell for homeroom rang.
"Guys homeroom is starting, get in your seats!" The Class President spoke out to everyone in class. Everyone sat down in where they would and he started talking about the new schedule that was going to be taking place soon. Akari didn't really pay any attention to it and just stared out the window wondering what the party will be like.
Akari was about to leave the classroom for lunch when she saw Haruhi just sitting in the classroom about to eat her lunch. The twins were nowhere in sight, so Akari decided to sit down with Haruhi and talk.
"Hello Haruhi," Akari greeted.
"Hi Akari-chan," Haruhi replied and then took a bite out of her food.
"You don't eat in the cafeteria?" Akari asked.
"Nah it's too much and the guys eat in the cafeteria. I already see them as much as it is," Haruhi told her.
"Ah I see," Akari understood and then smirked, "You probably also don't want to be surrounded by girls calling your name and fangirling over you.
"Very funny Akari," Haruhi replied sarcastically.
"You know it's true," Akari said and Haruhi hung down her head in shame. Akari sweat dropped, "I didn't think it mean that much to you."
"It doesn't, but it's very true," Haruhi replied shamelessly. Akari just laughed.
"Now I see why they like to hang around you," Akari told Haruhi. "You are very one lucky girl."
"No, I wouldn't consider myself lucky Akari, just grateful I guess, but sometimes they just won't leave me alone," Haruhi told Akari. Akari looked at the clock, "Oh lunch is over, I didn't get to eat anything."
"The host club has sweets and snacks they serve," Haruhi suggested.
"Nah, I'll just go to a restaurant or stop by somewhere and order take out," Akari replied, "Besides I have places to be today anyways."
"Oh that's too bad," Haruhi replied.
"I don't want to be near them right now, especially since they are making me go to that party, and joining that club. They are all idiots I swear, well probably Tamaki and the twins," Akari told Haruhi.
"Not even your brother?" Haruhi asked surprised, she was pretty sure that all siblings would want to reunite after a long separation.
"I don't have the courage to face them on my own yet really," Akari explained, "I have to do something before I face him again."
"Oh family matter huh?" Haruhi guessed.
"Yup, pretty much," Akari answered.
Akari stood up from where she was sitting and Haruhi threw away her lunch and sat down back at her desk and so did Akari.
"I guess we wait like we always do," Akari spoke particularly to no one.
Class resumed after lunch like normally. Akari finished her last piece of work and turned it all in.
"I'm done, Mr. Cross," Akari spoke to her teacher.
"Thank you Akari, you're doing especially when in school, how do you think the new system will be like?" Mr. Cross asked his student.
"Well, I've experienced it before, so it's really no big deal, and I'm hoping for gym all year round," Akari spoke and she heard three EWS!
"Who would want to take gym all year round?!" Hana yelled across the room.
"Someone who wants to stay physically active, my dear!" Akari yelled back.
"You'll be all sweaty and tired," Emiko said.
"So?" Akari said back.
"You're a loser," Sayuri screamed across the room.
"Thank you I appreciate your compliment!" Akari screamed back.
"It was no compliment," Emiko spat back.
"I took it that way," Akari replied back.
"GIRLS!" Mr. Cross yelled at Emiko, Sayuri and Hana, "I will not have bullying in this classroom, do you hear me?"
"Yes sir," the three girls replied back while rolling their eyes. Mr. Cross looked over at Akari, "I'm sorry for the trouble the girls have been giving you."
"It's fine," Akari replied back, "It was way worse at home." Akari waved back and left the classroom, "I'm leaving early today, I've finished my work." Mr. Cross gave an acknowledgement of her leaving and continued to watch everyone else do their work.
Akari left the school, and was heading towards a modeling agency. Akari took out her cell phone and dialed a number that called her last night.
"Moshi moshi," Akari said into the speaker phone, "I'm calling to say I'm taking the appointment and I'll be there in 15 minutes." Akari shut her phone and started to head towards the building and was so lucky that it was nearby the school. She walked into the building and saw the crew working on their latest shots.
"Hello boys," Akari called out.
"Hey Akari," the guy with the camera called out, "Just set your stuff on the side and we will get you prepared and get ready to take your shots soon." Akari nodded and did as instructed and sat in her chair that had her name on the back. She was then called over to do make up and get a good outfit for the shoot.
"I was supposed to go to a club for school today, but they did something that changed my mind about going," Akari told the lady who was doing her make up.
"I see, so you accepted the shoot for today," the lady replied back.
"Yeah, I needed the extra cash too," Akari admitted.
"No offense, but aren't you rich?" the lady asked her.
"Nah, not at the moment, my family has issues to solve and so far, I've been making my money," Akari admitted.
"Being a rebel," the lady spoke, "I was like that in my teens, did things I shouldn't have, like gotten drunk, had sex, all those kinds of stuff."
"Well, it sounded like you had fun," Akari said light heartedly.
"Yeah a bit," the lady admitted, "But after a while, it got boring."
"Oh, I see," Akari replied back, "So then you decided working here?"
"Well yeah, and it's the only place I could really get a job," the lady admitted, "It's not the fanciest but it suites well."
"That's good," Akari said back. She looked over at the camera man and he was certainly waiting.
"Well, let me get changed into the clothes and then the shoot will start," Akari spoke and did exactly what she just said.
"These photos are the best Akari, thank you," the camera man praised her.
"It was nothing," Akari replied to the man. She looked at the clock and it was time for me to go.
"You can keep the outfit Akari," the camera man said, "it's a gift from us, enjoy!" Then the guy left and Akari went back to the hotel.
At the host club Tamaki was wondering where in the hell was his other daughter. Haruhi was already there but his other daughter isn't.
The twins looked over at Haruhi. They were glad that she was here and not Akari, ever since she could tell them apart, she really just sent them off into the edge, not really wanting her in their bubble just yet.
"HARUHI!" Tamaki cried out, "Do you know where Akari is?"
Haruhi cringed.
"YOU DO KNOW WHERE!?" Tamaki asked while shaking Haruhi.
"Sempai, Akari had important business to attend to today apparently," Haruhi announced.
"Important?"
"Business?" the twins finished each others sentences.
"Yeah, I was talking to her at lunch, but she didn't say where she was going," Haruhi explained.
"Well, she really didn't agree to join," Kyouya spoke, "You just assumed Tamaki."
Next thing they all see is Tamaki in his emo corner.
"He's right sempai," Haruhi agreed which made him go into a deeper depression.
"Boss," Hikaru spoke, "Akari is coming to the party tomorrow night, so you shouldn't be worried."
Then Tamaki sprung up in joy, "Yes, my darling daughter will be at the party!" Tamaki was overjoyed and was in his fantasy land.
The others on the other hand was busy talking with all the girls that happened to be there. It was an eventful day but three girls overheard what was happening and rushed out of the room.
"Hey wait!" Hikaru called out.
"Brother why would you want them? I thought you loved me?" Kaoru said with a tearful eye.
Hikaru then looked over at his brother and cupped his cheek, "I love you more than any other girl in this room, I never want to leave your side." All the girls at the table of the Hitachiin twins fainted of how lovey dovey it was.
Soon enough the Host's Club day was over. They had a little meeting of today's events. It was surprising to all of them that those girls ran out of the club. That never happens.
"Why do you think those girls ran out of the club today?" Haruhi asked all the guys.
"We have no clue," the twins said together.
"I didn't get a good look at them, but they do seem familiar," Haruhi spoke. She turned to the twins.
"They were at your table right? Do you guys know them?" Haruhi questioned.
"Hmm," Kaoru thought, "I think they might be in our class."
Hikaru thought it over, "Yeah, they are in our class, they are always in a group. They seem fine to me though."
"They seem suspicious," Hunny added in.
"Yeah," Mori said like always.
"We don't have any reason to be bothering it now when we have a party to think about!" Tamaki cried out, "Haruhi needs to continue with the lessons!"
Haruhi continued with her lessons with Kanako and hopefully she was ready enough to dance at the party.
The next night the host club was getting ready for the party. Haruhi and the guys were in suits. They were discussing what was going to happen because of their plan to get Kanako and Suzushima together again and happy.
In the largest grand hall area where the party was going to be held, Akari entered the hall and was all styled up. She curled her hair and was wearing a green high low boutique dress that overlays; long in the back, short in the front. She was wearing black heels and had a black cross necklace on. Some girls were jealous and others didn't really care. She was walking around talking to some of the girls she barely knew but it was great to pass time away. Then she heard someone on the microphone.
"It's so good to see you here tonight my little lambs, the host club would like to bid you, hello," a familiar voice said, and everyone looked and saw it was Tamaki in a white suit and purple tie. Everyone else was on the stairs and the all took a bow. Everyone clapped cheerfully.
"As always ladies, the host club members are here for your entertainment. So invite you to dance to your heart's content. Based on your dancing skills one lucky young lady will be chosen as tonight's queen. Tonight's reward will be a passionate kiss on the cheek," Kyouya announced. Then Tamaki did this pose and most of the girls fainted while Akari just rolled her eyes.
Akari started to dance with random guys at the ball. She was surprised on how the atmosphere of the party felt. It felt like a royal ball, not a usual teen party that most teens attend these days. The guys she danced with were all gentlemen. She was surprised on how some didn't try to grab her ass or touch her breasts. She was amazed. Though, one guy seemed off a bit. Akari walked over to get a cup of wine. She smelled it first, just to make sure there wasn't any alcohol in it. When she smelled it though, it had alcohol.
"Maybe I'll just drink some tea," Akari thought. She wasn't in the mood to be drunk right now, and she never had any alcohol before and she didn't want to start now. She went to drink some tea but she noticed a long shadow looming over her. She looked up and saw a man. He looked like he goes to school at Ouran but she wasn't sure and he seemed off a bit.
"Hey mister, you're kind of in my space," Akari said and tried to walk off but her hand was pulled and she turned to look at the man.
"Hey would you let go?" Akari spoke in a tougher voice.
"Tough chicks," the man said, "Those are the best kinds."
"I think he's drunk," Akari thought in her head. She looked over at him, "Should I beat him up now or scream?"
Akari thought this over in her head, but wasn't noticing the guy walk closer and closer and ended up touching her breast. This shocked Akari, but not that much.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU FILTHY PERVERT!" Akari yelled and then slapped him in the face; which for some reason made the whole room go silent.
"You little bitch!" the guy said back but before he could do anything, he was trapped in grip by Mori and Hunny had a real evil glare in his eye. Tamaki walked over and stood in front of the guy.
"You don't attend here," Tamaki said coldly.
"So? A party is a party," the guy replied back.
"I ask that you leave this place and never return. You are not welcome here," Tamaki said, then Kyouya spoke, "If you do return, then you'll the whole Ootori police force coming after you. Do I make myself clear?"
Then the guy ran out through the door. Tamaki walked over to Akari, though he didn't know it was her.
"Are you hurt my princess?" Tamaki said.
"Tamaki, don't call my princess," Akari replied back and Tamaki was quite shocked.
"Akari is that you?" Tamaki asked and the rest of the guys looked over well, except Hunny and Mori. They already knew.
"But, but," and that was all Tamaki could say. He was quite speechless seeing Akari looking like that.
"It's just me sempai," Akari said. She then looked over at the rest of the guys, "Don't worry I'm fine. Don't have to be super cautious and call a medical team or something."
Haruhi walked forward, "Couldn't you have done some special karate move or something?"
"Yes I could have, but right now I'm a lady. Ladies aren't supposed to fight, but before I could even fight, Takashi and Hunny got to the guy before I could," Akari explained. She waved them off.
"Go enjoy the party, don't worry about my wellbeing, you have guests to entertain," Akari pushed them off in the direction of many girls. They looked at each other and something sparked in their head and rushed off to do something.
"I guess they had something important to do," Akari spoke aloud, then a crowd of girls rushed over to talk.
"Wow Akari, you were so strong!" a girl exclaimed.
"I would not be that brave if I were in your shoes!" another girl said.
Akari was surprised. She didn't get that kind of praise before. She was in a different kind of world and she finally realized it.
"It was nothing," Akari smiled back. The host club looked over at the crowd of girls.
"I guess she is lucky," Kyouya spoke to Tamaki.
"I guess it's really her decision to join after all," Tamaki said, then he turned to Kyouya, "But what would she do?"
Kyouya looked over at Tamaki, "I guess we will find out when the time comes." They looked over at Akari and then got ready for Kanako and Suzushima.
Akari didn't know what was happening but she followed all the other girls when they walked out. She didn't exactly know what happened but she saw Suzushima chase Kanako when Tamaki started to announce something.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now to begin the final dance of this evening's festivities. The last waltz of the night has been chosen by the host club for this couple," Tamaki said and lower his hand to point at Suzushima and Kanako. They looked at each other and Suzushima asked to dance with her and Akari guessed that they pretty much had a happy ending.
"May this awkward couple be ever blessed," Tamaki said aloud.
"Now we will announce the queen of the ball!" Hikaru said while holding a banana peel.
"Congratulations Princess Kanako Kasugazaki," Kaoru announced.
"Now for her reward a kiss on the cheek from the king!" Hikaru announced.
"Haruhi Fujioka will stand in for Tamaki!" Kaoru said. Akari was shocked seeing how she was the only one that knew that Haruhi was a girl. Akari was going to laugh once she saw that Haruhi kissed Kanako on the lips because Tamaki pushed her. Akari was glad that it was over and was glad, because she got to enjoy her night except for the one incident but was glad because she had fun.
Akari stood by the piano of the grand hall and watched everyone take their leave from the party. Haruhi walked up to her.
"Enjoy the party?" Haruhi asked.
"Yeah it was fun," Akari replied. Then Hana, Emiko and Sayuri walked up to Akari.
"I thought we told you to stay away from the Host Club," Hana spoke.
"Sorry, I just couldn't help myself, they are very sexy men," Akari said sarcastically. She didn't think any of them was sexy and wasn't planning on falling in love any time soon; though if this conversation was going to continue like Akari was thinking, she was going to have fun with these girls.
Hana's face got red. Sayuri looked over at her friend and noticed that she was angry and Sayuri would have to agree along with Emiko too. They all were angry.
"You didn't corrupt any of our darlings, did you?" Emiko raised her eyebrow. Akari smirked though she didn't show them.
"I don't know… I might have gone into a closet with one of them a few times though everyone was so willing, I just couldn't refuse," Akari spoke.
Emiko's, Sayuri's and Hana's eyes went wide. They were shocked. Akari burst out laughing.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe you fell for it!" Akari said while laughing. This was just too much fun.
Sayuri glared along with Emiko and Hana. "You lied to us!"
"Of course," Akari replied back, "I'm not stupid and besides I'm not that kind of person. I respect people around me and I obviously respect my own body." Akari walked closer.
"Don't mess with me, because you'll soon regret it," Akari said slowly and began to walked away but Hana spoke that stopped Akari.
"That guy should have raped you when he had the chance," Hana spoke quietly but Akari heard her. Akari turned and walked over to Hana.
"So it was you guys," Akari spoke angrily, "I was just going to assume it was alcohol making his brain go crazy and assume that he was a nice guy without pressing charges but obviously it was on purpose."
Hana, Emiko and Sayuri looked shocked and scared.
"Run," Akari said, "If you don't, you'll make me do something I wish I hadn't." Emiko, Sayuri and Hina ran right out of the building.
"Phew," Akari said and then leaned onto a nearby pole. She slid down and ended up on the floor. She was tired emotionally and physically and mentally.
"I'm so tired of those girls," Akari spoke totally forgetting that Haruhi was there.
"Those girls were the ones that ran out of the club yesterday," Haruhi spoke.
Akari turned her head to look at Haruhi, "Really?"
"Yeah, we were actually talking about you coming to the party and I guess they heard and ran out," Haruhi explained.
"I see," Akari said, "They heard my name and made a plan to get back at me. I'm surprised I even have enemies."
"Enemies?" Haruhi questioned. Akari shook her head and laughed. She stood up and began to walk back to her hotel.
"You're too young Haruhi," Akari waved and then walked out of the room.
"BUT I'M THE SAME AGE AS YOU!" Haruhi yelled back at Akari.
I finally updated sorry it took long. Marching I got on Tuesdays and then I got sucked into playing Final Fantasy 12 and it's the longest video game ever of the final fantasy series. It takes like 80 hours or more to complete. I can't believed I finished this. It's literally 2 am. I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Goodnight, thank you to the ones that are reading my stories and reviewing. It means a lot to me and it keeps me going. (: SO REVIEW!
