Chapter 3
It's Wednesday, the day me and Haruhi dread the most out of all of the days...it's cosplay day. Tamaki had decided to go with a spring theme as it was now spring. The doors opened to the garden outside the school as many girls stood there. We all welcomed them in and sat them down with their hosts. I simply walked around in my very pink dress, which had flowers all over it. I carried on serving and seeing what the guys were doing. I saw Tamaki asking a girl
"So, in which cup would my princess like her tea? The Foley? The Worcester? Or perhaps the Susie Cooper Gardenia?"
Really? They need names? They're tea cups!
The girl admired the cups and replied "Beautiful. These are English antiques, aren't they? Which one do you like, Tamaki?"
Tamaki pulled the girl closer to him from the chin and whispered "Which one? Well, none of these compare to my princess."
"Wow, I don't really know what to say." I do...yuck!
I looked over to Hikaru and Kaoru who were putting on their 'twincest' act. A girl who was with them said
"I can't take it. It's overwhelming."
The black haired girl who was with her ushered
"You have to watch this. You may never get another chance. Who knows it will happen again?"
Kyoya suddenly popped out of nowhere and said "You are absolutely right, mademoiselle. All beauty is fleeting."
He continued while looking at the cherry blossoms "Just take a look at these cherry blossoms. You'll never be able to see them this vibrant again. And that's why I compiled this picture book that contains photo that capture the beauty of each passing day. Incidentally, I've prepared similar books for the other hosts as well. And if you ladies are interested in collecting all four of them, I'll discount full set for you."
Both of the girls pratically begged for the picturebooks. Well, at least the club is earning extra money. But trust Kyoya to take any opportunity to make money. I looked at find Haruhi and saw her with Hunny and Mori. Hunny was trying to make some green tea but was stirring too fast. Finally Mori stated
"Mitsukuni, you overdid it." Poor Hunny looked like he was going to cry but a girl hurried to cheer him up
"Honey, I'll take it. It looks so yummy." She drank it while her friend said
"It's just the right amount for both of us. Any more would be too much. How did you know? You never cease to amaze me."
Hunny immediatly cheered up and smiled. About half an hour later the host club had finished for the day, I stood next to Haruhi as we admired the blossoms and breathed in the fresh air. It didn't last long as our moment of peace was interupted by Tamaki
"Haruhi, Maria, how are you doing? Are you having a good time?" We looked at him as he continued
"The flower-viewing reception is going over quite well. But even so, its rather daunting to spend more time to being admired than doing the admiring."
You could pratically see the sweatdrop from Haruhi's head "Oh wow senpai, you're blooming in more ways than one."
I chuckled as Tamaki replied "You noticed. Yes, today, my beauty is quite splendid and I'm in the full of bloom. I bet you'll fall for me, soon."
Well someones full of himself, this guy must live his life completely unaware of the hardships of this world. Just then I felt and arm around me as I saw Kaoru next to me and Hikaru next to Haruhi.
They both asked "So, Haruhi and Maria, have you decided your elective courses for this term?"
Kaoru continued "How about conversational French?"
"I don't know." Me and Haruhi replied, we both wanted to stay in class together but most of the classes were boring.
Hikaru then said "I think that four of us should take it together. It makes perfect sense."
Kaoru then joined in with Hikaru "We are in the same class."
They turned their heads and looked at Tamaki which made him go to his emo corner. I decided to just carry on choosing classes with the twins...well that was until Tamaki came over and grabbed both me and Haruhi, he shouted
"Listen, Haruhiand Maria. I want you to stop hanging out with shady twins from now on." Of course the twins protested, Hikaru began
"Who you calling shady?"
Kaoru finished "Yeah, take a good look at yourself, boss."
Tamaki then let us go and gasped "Yes, that's it. All right then. We can't go on hiding the fact that you're a girl from everyone at this school any longer Haruhi. All daddy wants is for you to go back to being the girl you used to be, for you to surround yourself by girl friends and start leading a wholesome life."
Hey what am I? Chopped liver? I'm Haruhi's friend you know! Tamaki continued to shake Haruhi to get her to start acting like a 'girl' but Hikaru stated
"You don't have to rush things. She's going to be found out soon enough."
Kaoru finished "Physical exams are the day after tomorrow."
Me and Haruhi looked at them and questioned "Physical exams?"
Everyone looked at Haruhi as Kyoya said "That's right. I forgot all about it."
Haruhi thought about it and said "Then that means there's no doubt. They're gonna know I'm really a girl."
Tamaki, the twins and Hunny gasped. I just rolled my eyes, it's not that big a deal...is it?
The next day came and went quickly, the last bell rang for the day as we were reminded of the physical exams tomorrow. Me and Haruhi made our way to the host club.
"Ready to face Tamaki's hug a death?" I joked.
She rolled her eyes and shook her head "I swear it's like he's never hugged anyone before."
We opened the door and Haruhi began "Hey guys, sorry we're so late..."
But suddenly Tamaki ran up to Haruhi and grabbed her arms "Don't you worry, Haruhi! We determined to keep your secret. No one will find out that you're really a girl during tomorrow's physical exams. So please, promise you'll stay our beloved secret princess." Haruhi just blinked and agreed.
I shuffled over to Mori and asked "do I want to know?"
He looked and me and simply said "no." I walked to Haruhi and saw the guys at a whiteboard, with their 'plan and action.'
"Listen up, squad members. At tomorrow's physical exams, position yourselves for formation A. And then wait for orders." Tamaki ordered. Hunny and the twins saluted as Haruhi said
"I've got it. You guys are worried because if they find out I'm a girl, I can't be a host and therefore can't repay my debt. My balance is 5,333,332 yen. Well, guess I'll have to come up with another way to pay you back." She started laughing as Tamaki pointed to Haruhi
"Are you saying that you hate being a host? That you hate this club?" By this time Haruhi stopped laughing and simply said
"To be honest, I'd have to say yes." Tamaki gasped and huddled in his emo corner.
Haruhi continued "I mean you guys aren't bad. But If it gets out that I'm a girl, there's nothing I can do, you know?" She carried on laughing as I stood with the boys,
Hikaru moaned "She doesn't seem to care one way or the other."
Kaoru continued "Well before we do anything else, we have to find a way to motivate her."
Suddenly Mori looked at Haruhi and said "Fancy tuna." She gasped at the thought.
Tamaki suddenly said from his corner "Oh that's right. You didn't get a chance to eat any during last episode's party, did you?"
Episode? What does he mean by that? He turned his head and he looked really scary with an evil glint in his eyes. Man he looks like the girl from the Excorsist.
I looked at the twins who were whispering to each other about fancy tuna, I then looked at Kyoya who was ignoring what was going on and was taking notes in his book.
"Are you not bothered by this Kyoya?" I asked.
He looked at me and grinned "there's not much I can do you know, besides it doesn't really matter to me...just as long as she pays us back."
He really is evil...
Haruhi then spoke nervously "What are you talking about? Don't be silly. Just because I'm poor and I've never had it doesn't mean I'm so much of a glutton that I'd go on fooling everyone about my gender just to try some fancy tuna..."
She laughed nervously then stopped "Am I really gonna get to try it?"
She really is a glutton...its just fancy tuna. I shook my head and smiled, this was going to be fun.
Finally it was the day of the physical exam. Me, Haruhi and the twins were making our way down the hall to the examination room along with the other students. Haruhi asked the twins
"So, what's the deal of this formation A thing you guys were talking about? What do they do during physical exams here at Ouran, anyway?"
Hikaru replied "It's no different from a physical exam you did in any other school."
Kaoru continued "Yeah, why would a physical exam be any different for us just because we're rich?"
Haruhi laughed "You're right. I didn't think about that way."
We came to the door and opened it, inside were two long lines of doctors welcoming the students. Me and Haruhi gasped as I asked
"W-what is all this?"
Hikaru just calmy walked in "Just another physical exam."
Kaoru followed "The usual."
Haruhi and I just looked at each other and asked "The usual?"
We walked in as two nurses took the twins away for their height measurements. Another nurse came up to Haruhi and said
"Mr. Fujioka, I'm your nurse for physical exams this afternoon. Please come this way." She grabbed her hand and dragged her towards to curtains. I decided to follow...I didn't want to miss this. I then saw Hunny and Mori dressed as doctors. I found Haruhi who was looking at them as well. I said to her
"It's so obvious." She nodded and Kyoya popped up from...I dunno and explained
"I've got those two for backup just in case something happens."
I turned to him and asked "But why are they in doctor disguises?"
He replied "They're just helping to set the mood. The disguises make our operation feel like a real espionage mission."
This isn't a spy movie you know...
I turned to Haruhi who was observing some doctors who were praising a girl for loosing weight.
She asked "Don't you think it's weird that these doctors are all so jovial and nice?"
Kyoya stated to us "They're chosen by the school's chairman. This may be a school, but it's also a business. Therefore, they want to keep students happy. After all, most of the students that attend Ouran academy come from prominent families that have their own private doctors at home. So, this is just a formality."
These damn rich people.
I followed Haruhi until we saw a big group of girl gathered around the twins. A nurse said to them
"Hitachiin brothers, would you please come with me? We're ready to do your chest measurements. You can use the area behind this curtain to undress."
Hikaru unbuttoned his shirt and began "Doesn't matter to me."
Kaoru, who was also undoing his shirt, finished "We're not shy. Who needs a curtain?"
As soon as their shirts were off all of the girls started screaming like wild animals. Kyoya popped up next to me and Haruhi
"See. A rather impressive turnout today. Physical exam day is quite popular with the ladies."
Haruhi whispered to me "What's wrong with the girls at this school?" I shrugged and looked at the twins, Hikaru was holding Kaoru and said
"I won't allow it. It's just not fair. I won't let those doctors touch you, Kaoru."
Kaoru chuckled "What are you talking about? You don't seem to have a problem touching me when we play doctor at home. I can't get you to stop tickling me and toying with my body."
Thanks for that...now that's going to haunt my dreams.
A doctor came up to me and bowed "Miss Maria Smith? I'm your doctor for today, please follow me."
He grabbed my hand and took me to the curtains. I had to admit this doctor was very young...and very attractive with his shiny brown hair and peircing blue eyes. I could get used to this.
He took my height and weight measurements before saying "we need to measure your waist and chest. So if you please can you remove your top?"
"Oh yes of course." I replied. I was once again wearing a pair of jeans and converses, but this time I had a very fashionable top on...thanks to Hikaru and Kaoru. They refused to let me wear another scrubby top. I took my new top off and the doctor got in a nurse to take my measurements. After that was finished I saw the nurse smiling at me
"oh my your perfect! You have such a beautiful body, a proper womans body it's so nice. Do you work out?"
"Uh..thank you. And no not really." It was kinda creepy that she was being so nice and happy about it but I simply thanked her and walked out.
I found Haruhi in the changing room looking sad, I knelt down to her as she told me everything about Tamaki pretending to be Haruhi...but it didn't work. The twins probably tricked him into it...poor Tamaki. Kyoya tapped Haruhi's shoulder and we looked up at him
"Haruhi, ready? I wanna head and set up a separate room for you, a special boys' clinic. And I have a doctor standing by sworn to secrecy."
We stood up as Hikaru said "It turns out that doctors here today are all one staff and one of Kyoya senpai's family's hospitals."
Kaoru finished "Would've been nice if you said something to us earlier." I was going to agree with them when Kyoya simply stated
"I had to get my revenge too. I'm sorry. I just don't think I'm a supporting cast, homosexual or otherwise."
I just looked at him confused what was he talking about? But it didn't matter. Haruhi went off to the boys' clinic as I decided to stay with the guys until this was all finished. We suddenly heard a girl cry, apparently she was grabbed by one of the doctors who was trying to make a pass at her.
Kyoya said "I had a feeling this might happen."
We looked at him as Hunny asked "What do you mean?"
Kyoya replied "A bit earlier today, I saw a strange man wearing a white lab coat, but clearly not one of our hospital's doctors. So I thought he was a little odd."
Me and the twins frowned and asked "Shouldn't you have said something sooner?"
Kyoya defended "Oh well, it's no big deal. I'm sure the security guard will catch him."
I heard a man ask the girl "Tell me, Miss. Did you happen to notice where the pervert doctor was headed?"
The girl replied "Yes, sir, he ran off to the special boys' clinic."
The words rang in my head, we all gasped and shouted "Haruhi!" Tamaki had finally joined us and we ran to the clinic. If anything happens to her I'll never forgive myself. We opened the door and went over to the curtain, I opened it and saw the man holding Haruhi and covering her mouth, before I could do anything Tamaki shouted
"Haruhi! Tama-chan kick!" He kicked the man into the wal and did about 4 flips in the air without falling down.
Ok he just casually defied all the laws of gravity. I ran to Haruhi and held her tight, to make sure he didn't attack again. She was holding her top to her to make sure no one saw her bra. The twins, from behind us, began
"One... Good looks that attract the public eye."
Kyoya stepped in and continued "Two... More wealth than you could imagine."
Mori added "Three, chivalry that would never be able to overlook..."
Hunny also continued "the hideous wickedness of this world."
Tamaki put his shirt over Haruhi and finished "That's what makes up the Ouran host club."
Everyone stood around us and shouted in union "We're here! Watch out!"
The man panicked and begged "Please don't hurt me. Spare me my life."
Before anyone could say anything he continued "I'm a doctor. I have a small emergency medical clinic that I run in the next town over. My name is Yabu."
Hikaru asked "Did he say his name is Yabu?"
Kaoru agreed "That's crazy. What a terrible name for a doctor."
They both then finished "Unless you're quack."
I punched their arms "shut up and let him finish!"
Yabu nodded and continued "I'm here because I was hoping to see my daughter. My wife left me last month and took my daughter with her. But I know that she attends school here."
Haruhi asked Yabu "I don't mean to pry or anything. But why did your wife and daughter leave you?"
Yabu explained to us how he would always give people money and how they wouldn't always pay him back. His wife and daughter got sick of it and left him.
"And that was it. They left me for ever. I know I'm terrible at managing our money. And I can't say no to anybody. I don't blame them for being tired of constantly living in debt. But I wanted to see my daughter one more time, so I came here. After being pelted by rain and wandering the streets, I finally made it to your school. Once I entered, I was mistaken for a doctor here to examine students."
Hikaru stated "Well of course. You're wearing a lab coat."
Kaoru added "Anyone would mistake you."
Yabu cried "And then it happened. When I tried to ask her about my daughter, the girl started screaming and before I knew it, there were all kinds of people chasing me!"
By this point Tamaki was in tears like the baby he is. Kyoya looked at Yabu and calmly asked
"Doctor Yabu, I think you may have the wrong place. Are you looking for Ourin public high school?"
Yabu nodded "Yeah, that's right."
"I figured out that might be the case. This is Ouran academy, a private institution. Your daughter doesn't go to school here."
Woah! Poor guy, that's a bummer. Hunny said to Kyoya
"Wow, Kyo-chan, I'm impressed that you figured out he had the wrong school."
Kyoya simply replied "Well, there's no way the daughter of such a small time doctor would ever be able to get into Ouran academy."
Trust him to notice that...
Tamaki knelt down to Yabu and said
"Kyoya, would you please find a map of all the public school in this area? I'd like to help this man find his daughter."
Haruhi and I looked at him and Kyoya just smiled
"Whatever you say." He got a map and handed it to Yabu, he thanked us and left the building without being caught. We watched him from out of the window,
Hikaru asked "Are you sure about this?"
Kaoru added "After all, even if he does manage to find his daughter, there is no guarantee she'll wanna speak to him."
They did have a point, but Tamaki wisely replied "Well then, that's something he'll have to find out for himself."
Haruhi sighed and said "I'm sorry about this, you guys, but could you please leave?"
We all looked at her as Tamaki began to panic "Haruhi, are you still angry with me? You're not thinking of quitting the host club, are you?"
Haruhi laughed "Don't be stupid, senpai. I've just gotta finish my physical exam, as a male student, of course. Uh, but let me explain. I'm not doing this because you're bribing me with food. I'm doing it to pay back my debt."
Tamki smiled and grabbed Haruhi to hug her "You're so cute, Haruhi! I can see right through you. I know you're just after that fancy tuna. But it's so cute that you're pretending..."
Haruhi shouted from the hug of death "Cut it out, senpai. Rude. Hey, don't touch me there."
The twins shouted "Red card!"
Hikaru began "Looks like Tamaki senpai..."
Kaoru finished "...is the real pervert."
Haruhi continued shouting "Who cares? Would you guys just get out of here?!"
I laughed and grabbed Tamaki away from Haruhi, I dragged him outside as everyone followed. About 10 minutes later she came out in her boys uniform and smiled. I looked at Tamaki and smiled you know, he may be an idiot...but he has a heart of gold.
