Chapter 2: Acquaintances
As the doors of the classroom opened, a brunette haired girl came and surprised everyone. She was beautiful alright, but it was obvious that she was shy.
"Ohaiyou Guzaimasu. My name is Kana Yakashima. It's nice to meet you all."
She bowed politely, but her headband fell and everybody sweatdropped. She blushed and apologized as she put back into place her white headband in her long curly hair.
At the back of the classroom, the Hitachiin twins were whispering.
"Ne, Hikaru."
"What is it, Kaoru?"
"Look. It's bandage girl."
"Yeah, I know."
"Aren't we gonna do something about her?"
"Nah. Let's just watch things for now. We'll take action at the right time."
Before they knew it, she was standing in front of them, holding a handkerchief in her hand.
" Uh, arigatou. Here, I'd like to return your handkerchief."
She bowed as she gave the handkerchief.
"Ne," said the person in front of her
"Eh?"
"I'm Kaoru. He's the guy who gave you that handkerchief, not me."
"Ah! gomenasai."
She blushed again as she gave the handkerchief to Hikaru.
"A-a-arigatou!"
Hikaru smiled.
The girls in their class had mixed emotions about Hikaru's gesture. they were both jealous and furious at Kana.
"Thank you very much."
He reached for, not his handkerchief, but her hand.
"I'm looking forward to getting to know you better."
The girls got shocked! They were infuriated that a nobody like Kana immediately got the attention of a charming prince like Hikaru.
"Alright, everybody settle down. It's self study today. I'll be back in 1 hour."
The teacher left the classroom in chaos. So many questions circled around the classroom.
"Who is this girl anyway?" "What did happen between them?" "Are they secretly related?"
But all of that was temporarily silenced when a certain prince stood up and talked to Kana.
"Hello there. My name is Haruhi Fujioka. I was assigned to take you to your seat. Mind if I take you to your seat?"
"EH?!"- was the only thing that was hearted from the broken-hearted girls.
"Oh no! Not my prince Haruhi too!"
"What?! How can an ugly girl like you possibly own MY prince Haruhi like that?!
"WHAT?!"
And with that, classes regained chaos again.
A/N: not really self study is it?
***************
With al that noise, Hikaru and Kaoru could hardly hear themselves speaking.
"I thought we'll just watch. What the heck was that for?!"
No reply. Hikaru was busy staring at Kana.
"Eh?"
"HIKARU!!!!!"
He waves his hands at his brother's eyes.
"What is it Kaoru?"
"What are you doing?"
He flashed a big grin towards his brother and whispered something in his ear. After hearing his brother's plan, he also can't help but to grin ear to ear…
At the other side of the classroom, Kana felt a little uneasy, being the new girl and all. But she can't shake the feeling that she was being watched.
"Oh no. Did I do something wrong? Why are people staring at me like this? *sigh* I guess I'll just live with it and ignore them. Maybe they'll get tired." She thought.
So, she went back to her reading. But to her dismay, the feeling didn't stop. She looked around and saw a guy, staring at her at the other side of the classroom.
"Darn. Did I embarrass him or something? Why in the world is he staring at me like this?! Guh… this is idiotic."
*************
Classes were over and Kana was reading a book about Ouran High School that was given to her by her father upon her enrollment. As she was enjoying her time alone, she noticed that almost every girl ignored her. Some even looked at her with eyes she can't understand.
"It's weird that ALMOST all of them ignored me… is it because of what happened this morning with the guy who showed me to my chair? Or is it the one who owns the handkerchief? They really got angry that time. Or is it because I'm new here? Yeah, maybe the last choice." She whispered to herself.
Eventually, she got bored and decided to use the map that was at the back of the book. It was the map of the school. So, she gave herself a tour. She got out of the classroom and decided to go to the garden at the front of the school. She marked it as her first stop for the tour.
"Wow! What a big garden! It so beautiful! … What? What's this? ...
"Beautiful!"
***************
"Alright, I'll visit the next stop! Hmm…. I think I'll visit their big study rooms!"
And with that, she went to visit them.
"Turn left, up the stairs and go turn to a right. Alright, Sounds easy!"
But it wasn't. She ended up disrupting 3 English classes, 2 self study classes and she bumped a lot of people.
"Finally! I'm here! Eh? The Third Music room… Sounds fancy… I think I'll take a little peek…"
The doors opened and red roses came and bursting onto the pavement.
"Welcome, my princess."
Kana saw 7 dazzling waiters. Then, a certain blond haired guy came and took her hand.
"Come, my princess. Let us serve you wit elegance and delight. Now, which one on us will you take?"
"Er, pardon?"
"Tamaki, don't scare her"
"But Kyouya,"
"She's the new girl here. She doesn't know this is a host club by the looks of things."
"Miss Yakashima?" Haruhi said from the back.
"Mr. Haruhi! Um, can you please explain things for me?"
"Haruhi, take care of it."
"Hai. Kyouya-sempai."
"No." Hikaru said, blocking Haruhi's way.
"Hikaru, please get out of my way."
"Haruhi, me and Kaoru will take care of this."
"Fine, but make sure to be gentle with her."
"Don't worry, we will."
And the Hitachiin twins took Kana's hand and showed Kana to a nice table by a window.
"Haru-chan…"
"Nani?"
"What happened in class?"
"I don't really know, Hunny-semapi."
"Mitskuni." Mori-sempai said as he approached the two speaking.
"Ah. Mori-sempai. What is it?"
"It's time for Takashi's nap."
"Takashi!"
"Hunny-sempai, I'll wake you up later."
"Hai! Arigatou Haru-chan!"
While things are going on like that, the Hitachiin twins were preparing tea and creampuffs for Kana.
"So, how's your first day here at Ouran?"
"Uh, fine Mr. Hitachiin."
"Call me Kaoru."
"And I'm Hikaru."
"It's nice to meet you Hikaru, Kaoru."
She gave them her smile. It was not a very big one, but it was sparkling like a star.
"What's this feeling? It's like a whole new thing for me…" he thought.
His thoughts were disturbed when his twin talked.
"So, you finally showed your smile. Mission accomplished Kaoru!! Eh? Kaoru!!"
"Ah!"
"What's wrong with you, man?"
"I'm sorry Hikaru, but…..
"It's like you don't care about me anymore… I feel so alone, lately…"
"I'm sorry if I let you feel that way. I care for you, and I won't let you feel that ever again…"
"Hikaru…"
"Kaoru…"
….
"Hahahahahaha! You guys… Haha! Are so… Haha! Funny!! Haha! It's like something you see on T.V!! Woo. Haha!!
"Aren't you going to say something like "Wow! What amazing brotherly love! Or something like that."
"No! That's not brotherly love!"
She pauses…
"Kaoru…"
"You can tell us apart?" Kaoru said is shock.
"Yeah. Can't all of them?"
"No they can't. It's Haruhi so far." Hikaru said while he stared at Haruhi.
"Hikaru…"
Kana blushes as she watches Hikaru stare at Haruhi. She smiled and turned to Kaoru next.
"So, Kaoru."
"Hai?"
"What are you doing here? Why are you all dressed as dazzling waiters?"
"Dazzling?"
Kaouri chucled.
"We're here at out very own host club. The third music room. It's an unused music room where ladies of our respective school come and expect us to bring joy and elegance to them."
"So you're always dressed as waiters?
"No. we dress in different types of costumes."
"Oh. I see. Uh … Do you get paid?"
"Um… It's too confidential. I can't talk about it."
"Oh, I see. Well then, will you introduce me to the members?"
"Um, Okay."
Hikaru was still blissfully staring at Haruhi while she attends to a customer.
"The blonde one, our king, is Suoh, Tamaki. The one with the glasses is…"
"KYOUYA OOTORI!"
"Eh? How did you know?"
"My dad and his dad are business partners. I was told that he had black hair, wore glasses and came to Ouran."
"Oh I see. Well, the pair over there is Mori-sempai and Hunny sempai. Hunny-sempai is the small blonde one with the bunny."
"Kawaii!! Oh yeah. Who's the manager?"
"Kyouya-sempai."
"Ah…"
************
Hours had passed and the host club members are preparing to go home.
[5:40]
"Kaoru, it's time to go."
"I'll be right there Hikaru."
"I'll wait for you at the gate."
"Thanks."
Hikaru left and Kaoru was stuffing things inside his bag. He closed the door behind him and left. He walked on a long corridor when suddenly, there was music playing.
"What? There's music at this late hour?"
He rushed to a window and saw a garden he never saw before."
"Beautiful…"
*********
Three days has past since kana's last visit at the host club. Things were busy around there when Kana came. She approached Kyouya and said
"WILL YOU PLEASE LET ME WORK HERE?"
End of Chapter II.
