Chapter 21

"Come on Hitomi! There must be something you are good at!" Tamaki whined.
I groaned. I could feel a headache brewing in my right temple. I glared at the Hitachiins. They were the cause of this mess. They brought up the topic because they knew Tamaki would bother me incessantly.
"I'm really not good at anything."
"Nothing?"
"Yeah."
"Everyone is good at something! My dear Haruhi ( Haruhi: -scowl-) is good at schoolwork. Kyouya is good with money. Mori is the national champion in kendo. Hunny is the former captain of the karate club. Hikaru and Kaoru are good at... being evil ( H+K: -scowl-). And I"
Tamaki grabbed my hands and pulled me close.
"I am good at enchanting the hearts of princesses."
"You weren't born, were you?"
Tamaki looked at me, puzzled.
"You just materialized out of sunshine and farts."
Tamaki jumped away from me, followed by snickers from the twins.
"Haruhiiii! Hitomi is being cruel to your papa!"
Haruhi just walked away, once again banishing him to his emo corner of sadness. I chuckled and turned away. I was getting used to their odd father-son relationship. I looked at Mori.
"Hello Mori"
He turned around to attend to Hunny who shooed him away.
How strange...
Apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought this was strange because I was pulled into a huddle by the twins and Tamaki.
"What's wrong with Mori?" asked Tamaki.
"Why am I in the huddle?" I asked. I was ignored.
"He was like that all yesterday as well."
"I can tell you what's wrong," said Renge, joining our huddle.
How does she always come out of nowhere? It's half an hour until the club starts...
"It's a lover's quarrel!" she squealed. The twins looked doubtful. Tamaki gasped.
"That must be it!" he said.
"I think maybe we should stay out of their business" I said. I was, once again, ignored.
"You guys shouldn't be so nosy." Haruhi said, arms crossed. Tamaki broke the huddle, leaping to Haruhi and hugging him. Haruhi pushed him away.
"Anyway, back to the dilemma of Hitomi."
I felt like banging my head on the wall repeatedly.
"It shall be solved after club!"

Mori had been waiting all day for the perfect opportunity to present his gift to Hitomi. The quest for finding Hitomi's strength was predictably forgotten by everyone who cared and ignored by those who didn't.
And there it was, the perfect opportunity presenting itself to him. Hitomi was standing alone waiting for her limo. He walked over to her and stood there, bouquet held behind his back..
Hitomi looked up at him and his heart skipped a beat.
"Hello Mori."
"Ah." Mori internally beat himself over the head.
Is that all you could come up with?
"Mori?"
"Yes?" That was better. At least it was an actual word.
"You aren't mad at me, are you?" she asked with a frown. Mori internally beat himself up more. He hadn't wanted to come across like that.
"No." he said. Hitomi breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good." She said.
Ask her!!
"Hitomi?"
"Yes Mori?"
He meant to say something, really he did, but he just couldn't do it. He opened his mouth and closed it again. Hitomi's limo pulled up. He opened his mouth and closed it again. Hitomi giggled.
"That's a good imitation of a fish, but I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow." Mori felt like a fish, he was floundering. She waved good bye and climbed into her limo. Mori slapped himself on the forehead.
Stupid! Stupid!
Haruhi walked up to him, on her way home.
"Mori-sempai?"
He looked at her.
"Hitomi doesn't know I'm a girl, does she?"
"No..."
