Chapter 5

The day Suoh came back he looked pretty bad. The right side of his head was covered in bandages. He'd spent half of the club whining about how much his head hurt. All the girls in the club were glaring at me all day. I felt like crying about my new and improved debt of ¥ 300,000. But I plastered a smile on my face.
"That girl is so evil" Tamaki said. He sniffled. Rabid fan girl #15 shot me a dirty look and hugged him. Hikaru and Kaoru snickered simultaneously.
Jackasses.
"Hitomi-chan! Could you bring me more tea please!" said Honey, ever so sweetly. I smiled and started to walk towards him, passing the chairs the Hitachiins were sitting in.
A foot swung out into the middle of the aisle. I came plummeting down like the anvil tied to the feet of a guy who's sleepin' with the fishes. I landed face first in hot tea and broken porcelain. I felt a sharp pain in my cheek and something warm that was either tea or blood. I heard a few giggles.
"You really should be more careful." One of the Hitachiins said. I looked up at them. One of the Hitachiins looked like the incarnation of pure evil. But the other one looked a little... remorseful. Just a little.
"Really guys! Is that really necessary?" Haruhi got up out of his chair and helped me up. I put my hand up to my cheek.
"You should really go to the nurse." He said and offered me a handkerchief.
"Of course..." I replied. I took the handkerchief and pressed it up against my cheek.
"Thank you..." I muttered and I left, not bothering to grab my uniform or my books.

I kicked off my shoes at the door and trudged down the hallway, to the kitchen and into the pantry. Then I opened up the small door and went up the stairs that led to my room. There isn't really any other way to get into my room. Unless you count the dumbwaiter, but I haven't been small enough to use that since I was about 4.
What a day…
I quickly changed into pajamas.
I think I'll go eat an apple…
I walked back down the stairs and shivered slightly. I'd forgotten to adjust the thermostat that morning, so it was pretty cold. I crawled through the door walked out of the pantry and into the kitchen.
"Hitomi! Darling!"
Oh my god…
"Hi Aunt Sayomi" I said, putting on a smile. My aunt is easily the most gorgeous woman I've ever met. A curtain of sparkling black hair that falls to her waist. Clear blue eyes, full lips, a blush to her cheeks that can not be attributed to any cosmetic. Tall and slender with a full chest. She has the figure that any model would sell her soul for. If you compared us side by side, you'd never guess that we're related. She owns a large fashion corporation. Today she had Koji with her and he was resting on her hip. Koji is her son and my little cousin. He's almost unbearably cute. He has the black hair and blue eyes that is typical of my family.
"Tomi!" he cried, reaching out for me. I took him and cradled him in my arms. Aunt Sayomi perched herself onto a stool and looked at me.
"So how did it go? Did you meet any cute boys? What happened to your face."
"It went awfully. Yes. And nothing." I said. Koji started playing with my hair.

I finished explaining the whole situation to her.
"How could being surrounded by gorgeous boys every day be terrible?" she asked, obviously amused. Koji was dozing off in my arms. I rolled my eyes at her.
"You've obviously never met the Hitachiin twins" I told her. She paused, thinking.
"Actually, I have. I know their mother. I saw them once at a dinner party. Real cuties."
What?!
"Don't you dare tell them that you know me!" I yelled, waking up Koji who, in turn started to cry.
"Don't yell you're scaring the baby!" She got up and snatched him from me. I crossed my arms. She quieted Koji down.
"How could anyone consider those demons cute?" I asked. Aunt Sayomi smirked.
"This is exactly why your father and I say you'll never get married. No man could put up with you." She said. I turned away from her, pouting. Because, as much as I hated to admit it, she was right.
"Well anyway darling, I have to be going. Your uncle should be just about finished with his prostate exam." She said. I stared at her incredulously.
"He's 24!" I said. Aunt Sayomi bounded out of the room. I shook my head, smiling slightly.
Weirdo…
I sighed.

My daffodils are planted all up and down one of the smaller pathways of my private garden. My garden is the thing in this world closest to my heart. It's beautiful all year round even in the winter because we have Ume trees that flower despite the cold weather.
I kneeled down to inspect the flowers on my daffodils. This hadn't been a good year for them, so they were wilting a little.
I suppose I'll just replant them later on…
I turned on the hose and started to water them. Before long, I felt my mind starting to wander.
So Aunt Sayomi knows the Hitachiins… I wonder what their mother does… Maybe she's in fashion…I wonder if Nekozawa knows about the Host club…
I finished, turned off the hose, and set it down. I walked down the path to my small lake, within my personal garden. I sat down on the bank. Something felt missing from my garden. Something missing from my heart.
I looked around at all the bright splashes of color.
"Black Irises… that's what I need…"
