Sakura's POV:
I woke up at 6:30 then took a bath. It took me 25 minutes to finish bathing so at 6:55, I woke my little brothers and made them take a bath together. While they bathed, I cooked breakfast which is hotdogs, toasted bread, and scrambled eggs. I put the dishes on the table and the food. I sat on my seat and started to eat while waiting for my little brothers.
I saw them coming in with still sleepy eyes. But once those eyes found me, they brightened and their sleepiness is gone. Naruto ran to me first and kissed my cheek and vice versa. Next was Sasuke and then last was little Sai. They went to their seats and ate their fill.
After eating breakfast, we got into the car and drove to Ouran. We arrived at exactly 7:45. Only a few students were there because classes start in 8:30. So I went with my little brothers to their classrooms. I knew Sasuke and Naruto were in the same class. But it was just a hunch so when Naruto said that Sasuke and he were in the same class, that assured me. I left them in their classroom since a few of their fangirls were there. Naruto and Sasuke tried to get away but couldn't and so, with very adorable looking faces, I left them to the fangirls' care.
Now, I went to Sai's side of the school. He's in his 2nd year in kindergarten. He's a very smart boy, I tell you. I'm holding his hand while walking with him to his classroom. His classroom was just the same as every other kindergartener's classroom. There're papers stuck on walls, small chairs and tables, and a big space where they can play. It was kind of cute.
I noticed there were still no students there so I decided to be with my adorable little brother here. I took his bag and made him sit in his place.
"Did you bring your plushie Sai-chan? You can play with it while you're here waiting," I suggested. And as soon as I said it, he smiled widely. Then he nodded. I smiled and found the three-tailed wolf plushie I made him and gave it to him to play with.
I actually made the plushies my little brothers have. I didn't want to disappoint them after promising them I would give the three of them each a plushie. I didn't have the time to buy one so I just made them while I have free time or when doing something that doesn't need my hands. And then I finished those three plushies in just four days. I didn't expect them to like it very much since I think it's very amateurish and I was only a beginner, that is until someone saw it and said, 'Oh my! where did you buy those plushies?! I want one ,too! They're so cute!'. It gave me a boost of confidence that time. And when I gave them the plushie they wanted, they were so happy and loved it that they never let go of it for even a second for a whole day.
As I watched little Sai play with his plushie and a bunch of other toys the class owns, I remembered myself being that little and happy with a plushie. But just by myself since I was the only one that was different. My classmates bullied me. They said I had a big forehead and started to call me names. But then, mom would be there and sing to me or comfort me. She even taught me many things such as handicrafts, making plushies just like Sai's, cooking, and other things that developed me into this me right now.
I didn't realize that a classmate of Sai's has gone in the room. That is until I saw Sai look in the direction of the door to the room. I looked and saw a girl. Maybe a year older than him. She was looking at me with surprised eyes. I wonder why.
"Sai. I'll be going now. You have a friend here now so you can play with her until later at pick up time. Okay?" I told Sai.
"Hai!" Sai exclaimed happily. He was smiling widely at me. And I smiled back. I walked toward him and bent down to kiss him on the cheek. Then I took my bag and walked to the door. But before I went out of the room, I faced the girl and spoke to her.
"Little girl? Can you play with Sai-chan? He gets lonely when no one plays with him. Okay?" I pleaded. She nodded, still in a daze.
"Thank you! Bye then. Neh? Ja!" I turned and walked out. I went to the garden outside the highschool building and sat there for a whole ten minutes.
Haruhi's POV:
I'm inside the 3rd music room. Doing what I do everyday. Which is just following what Tamaki-sempai is telling me to do. Of course! How boring. But then, Kyoya-sempai looked at the window and I saw his eyes widen a bit. I walked up to him then asked.
"What's wrong Kyoya-sempai? Is there something that surprised you?" I asked him. But he just looked at me with his stern look. Then answered.
"No, Haruhi. There isn't anything wrong," He said calmly. Though I felt there is, but I was unsure if it would be right if I pressed. I went back to my current work. I heard Kyoya-sempai call out to Tamaki-sempai. Then I looked. It was really the very first time I heard Kyoya-sempai call out to Tamaki-sempai that urgently. I saw them look out the window of the music room. I was curious so I went and looked out the window, too. But I saw nothing that could be very interesting. Except for a car that looked old but new at the same time.
I looked back at my two sempai. They nodded at each other as if there was something they had agreed to do together. Together, they faced the whole club members. Then Tamaki-sempai ordered with a loud voice.
"We are going to follow someone in school guys! So come on!"
We followed him out into the elementary's side of the school. I was confused at first and wanted to ask until I saw something pink pass my line of sight. And then I knew who we were following. It was a boy. A year older than me, I think. He's wearing a cap. And he's holding hands with two boys. One was the youngest with black hair and pale skin and the other has dark blue hair in the style of a hen's tail feathers. Then in front was a boy of the same age as the boy with the dark blue hair. This boy in front was blonde with a fox-like grin and three lines on his visible cheek.
I don't know what this was about but I followed on. The one in the lead was of course Tamaki-sempai as he is the leader of the hostclub. Just then I heard squealing.
And when I looked at the direction from which it came from, I saw a few girls circle around the boys with the blonde and dark blue hair. The two were trying to get out of their circle but couldn't. Then I looked at the oldest one in the group which was the boy with the cap. Now I saw that he's very handsome. Very handsome, indeed.
He was looking at the two struggling boys with amusement. And now I saw that the three boys were very adorable in their own way. But I only ignored them because I want to see this handsome boy that interests me. He has pink hair! And here I thought there were only black and brown and blonde hairs around the world. But it did make him look kind of feminine if it weren't for the cap he was wearing. Which mostly covered his hair, except his bangs that framed his face.
I imagined him with long pink hair and I thought I saw a girl! Now that is interesting. Now I know why Tamaki-sempai and Kyoya-sempai are interested in following them. They want that boy in the club. Oh dear. But then, I heard the boy say bye to the two younger ones. I looked and saw that the two boys were taken to their classroom. Forcefully.
Then we followed the boy again. Now, he's in a room. And when I peeked in, I saw that there were small tables and chairs. And there are drawings on the walls. And there was a big space with a few toys in it. Then I thought that this was the Kinder's room. I looked around and found the handsome boy trying to find something in the younger boy's bag. After watching for a while, I saw him take out a very cute plushie of a wolf with three tails. Then gave it to the younger boy.
I think I squeaked 'kya' a little loudly when I saw the plushie because all the members excluding Kyoya-sempai were giving me the sign of 'Be Quiet'. And so I followed their action. Then looked inside again not noticing a girl walk past us and go in the room. That is until I saw the pale boy look my way and narrowed his eyes. I thought he was looking at me but I thought wrong because he was actually looking at the girl a few inches in front of me. I sighed softly with relief.
I looked at the handsome boy and saw him stand up and smile to the pale boy. He spoke and I heard the most angelic voice I have ever heard from a boy. I thought I was juast hearing and imagining such things. So I focused my attention again to him. I saw him take his bag and attempt to go out of the room. Luckily we were gone before he even reached the door and had the chance to see us.
Now we're back in the 3rd music room. Having a meeting. With Tamaki-sempai being the one who hosts it.
"Now you know that there is another boy that is just as beautiful as us, right? What we need to do now is to make him join the Hostclub! What do you say boys and my darling daughter? Are you in the plan?" He asked. And we all exclaimed 'Yeah.'
Sakura's POV:
After ten minutes of sitting on the ground, I stood up and slid my bag on my shoulder. Then I walked toward the highschool building. I found my way to the classroom. And while walking in the halls, a few students were whispering with each other. Maybe talking about me or my hair. I don't know. But I kept walking and ignored them. By the time I arrived in the classroom, I saw only a few of my classmates in it. They were talking happily by themselves until I came in and they noticed me.
I was just walking to my seat when a girl appeared before me. She was smiling nervously. And she was fidgeting. Then I remembered Hinata from this girl. Since Hinata is very shy around people. I stared at the girl in front of me. She looked normal to me. Nothing really different and uncommon like my hair.
"U-umm. . . . H-hi Saku-kun. . . . Etto. . . . U-u-ummm. . . . N-nice to meet you!" she said nervously while trying to look somewhere else but me. And loudly, too.
"Hello. What's your name?" I answered then asked at the same time. I asked the question with a closed-eye smile while tilting my head to the side a bit. I heard her squeal loudly with a few others so I opened my eyes and saw that the girl fainted with the others and was very red. My left eyebrow went up in confusion. I didn't know what to do about this.
But then I heard luaghing behind me. I looked at that direction and I saw Tamaki and Kyoya with 4 other boys and 1 girl wearing the boy's uniform. The tallest and shortest were older than me and the three, including the girl, were a year younger.
"Did you see that boys?" Tamaki asked them. And they nodded.
"Please come with us Haruno-san. We have something to talk about with you. Can you spare us a little of your time?" Kyoya asked me. I nodded and answered, "Sure." We walked through the halls of Ouran and stopped in front of a double door. I stared at it and waited for one of them to open it. One of the twins opened it and stepped back. Then Tamaki with the girl went in first, followed by Kyoya, then me, then the twins, and last were the tallest and shortest of us all.
I saw that the room was very big with sofas and a few expensive looking table sets. It was well decorated and fine. It would be perfect to hold a party in this room. I didn't notice the others sit already and were staring at me. After some time, I heard Kyoya speak.
"Excuse me Haruno-san. But please, can we have your attention?" he asked me. I looked at them and waited for them to speak.
"Well. The thing we wanted to talk about with you was that we want you to join our club," Tamaki explained.
"I don't want to join any sports club," I answered flatly still looking at him. Then I saw him chuckle a bit. He stopped and smiled at me.
"No. No. Our club isn't for sports. It's actually a hostclub. I'm sure you heard about us?" he asked. I shook my head. Then he laughed again. He shook his head and looked back at me. Then said, "Well. Alright. Again. I ask you to join our hostclub Haruno-san." I shook my head again in response. He took a step back and dramatically put his hand on his chest and gave me a shocked look.
"Don't you know that the world needs us? Our beauty and excellence is what makes this world complete . . . . ," he rambled on and on about how the world wouldn't be perfect without our beauty and sense of style and the like. But I didn't listen, instead I stared at the girl then asked.
"Why is a girl wearing a boy's unform?" I asked. Then Tamaki's rambling seized and was exchanged by wide eyes. I looked at them, cunfused.
"Why are you looking at me that way? Is there something wrong?" I asked next. Their eyes were still wide with surprise, or maybe shock. After a while, Tamaki cleared his throat and looked at me directly. With a nervous, smiling face that it made me almost laugh a bit.
"What do you mean 'girl' Haruno-san? There aren't any girls in here!" he exclaimed while holding his hands in the air as if to prove his point. But then I sighed and gave him a serious look which made the others and him tense up.
"I know the difference between a boy from a girl. I'm asking why that girl over there," I pointed at the girl with the short, brown hair and doe-like eyes then continued, "is wearing a boy's uniform."
They all looked at the person I was pointing at with wide eyes again. Then the bell rang. I sighed and said, "If you don't want to answer my question, it's fine. But please, don't bother me about joining your hostclub again if you don't want the girl out of it. See you in class Tamaki-san. Kyoya-san." I bowed then went out of the room to my class.
Haruhi's POV:
'Surprised' was maybe the wrong word. I think even shock was wrong to describe this feeling. I looked at Kaoru and Hikaru who were standing on each side of me. And I saw their faces were undescribable. I think they're shocked but their eyes were so big and their mouths were hanging open. It couldn't be the look of shock. Is it dread? I don't know.
All I know is that if we bothered the handsome classmate of Tamaki-sempai and Kyoya-sempai, my identity will be known throughout the whole school. And I don't like what will happen if it would be known.
"Ummm. . . . What are we going to do now Tamaki-sempai?" I asked him. He looked at me worriedly then I gave him a blank look saying 'please, not that look'.
"We're going to follow him to his house later by the end of school!" he exclaimed while punching his fist to the air. But I saw Kyoya-sempai adjust his glasses and look at Tamaki-sempai.
"But what are we going to do about the activity today? We were supposed to have an activity involving our customers," Kyoya-sempai stated. Tamaki-sempai froze.
Then unfroze and told Kyoya-sempai, "We're going to cancel it until tomorrow. Right now, we need to know where our current interest lives in and what his status might be. If he's richer or just as rich as us or poorer than us. Do you understand Kyoya-kun?" he answered. I felt offended at the status part but anyways, I already understand him to know that he doesn't mean it in a bad way.
"Well, come on guys! We're late already! Bye Haru-chan! Bye everyone!" Hani shouted while sitting on Mori-sempai's shoulders. Mori-sempai nodded before going out the door. Then it hit me that we were really late and that this wouldn't help me with my attendance so I ran out of the room with the twins. I think Tamaki-sempai and Kyoya-sempai ran out of the room, too, and went to their class.
Thankfully, we weren't very late because our teacher wasn't there yet. I went to my seat with a 'huff'. Then I sighed with relief.
Sakura's POV:
Tamaki and Kyoya were late but the teacher excused them because she was stirred by Tamaki's words. Then he sat in his seat beside me while trying his best to not look directly at me. And the same with Kyoya. And the classes ended with no interesting events. I took my bag and went out the door, eager to get out of the classroom and away from those two. And also very excited to see my brothers and take them home.
I went to their side of the school and then stopped in front of the classroom of the twins, Naruto and Sasuke (they're actually fraternal twins so don't be confused). I saw them outside their classroom being swarmed by little girls their age. I laughed out loud and they heard me. They looked at my direction together with their fangirls and beamed. Though the girls were now looking dazedly at me. I even saw a few girls with hearts in their eyes. I greeted them and they squealed making me confused very much.
"We were waiting for you you know?! And we were trying really hard to not make rude remarks on the girls! Really!" Naruto exclaimed while running to me. Sasuke in tow and was walking coolly with his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face. I looked at the girls and they were still looking at me. Some even fainted just like the girls in my classroom earlier today. And some squealed again.
But then I turned my attention to the boys. They were looking at me with big grins. Each holding out one hand. And I took those and held them with my bag on my shoulder. We went to Sai's room and saw that he was alone in one corner. He was playing with his plushie. I felt sad looking at him so I called him.
"Sai-chan! Come on! We're going home." I called. Then he looked my way and he stood up, no longer feeling lonely. He took his plushie and bag and then ran toward me holding out his hands. I let go of Naruto and Sasuke then held out my arms for Sai.
"Were you lonely? Didn't the girl play with you?" I asked while carrying Sai.
"She did but she went home with the others. So I became alone. Then I played with Sanbi to waste my time," he answered cutely. I nodded in understanding.
"Alright. Let's go boys. I'm gonna make dinner for you so let's hurry up," I said and they punched their fists into the air while shouting a loud 'Yes!'.
We walked our way to the gates and waited there for a while. Our car appeared and the driver stepped out of it, bowing. Then he opened the door of the backseat and stepped to the side for us to go in. He took the bags of Sai and Naruto while Sasuke and I held ours. Then we stepped in the car and sat while the driver closed the door and went to the driver's seat. After fastening his seatbelt, he started the engine and drove to our house. We talked while the car was being driven to the mansion.
When we arrived and went past the gate, the driver stepped out and opened our door then bowed again after stepping aside. I nodded at him and assisted Sai out of the car. By then, the butler was already heading down the front steps to us. When he reached us, he bowed and took our bags. But I refused to let him take mine since he can't hold that many things at once. He nodded then started to head to the door of the mansion with us in tow, leaving the driver behind.
Before the butler had the chance to hold the doorknob, the door slammed open and out came a lttle girl with blonde hair tied up in a ponytail. She has a long bang covering her right eye. She was Sai's age. And she was wearing a purple dress with dark purple leggings. She was breathing heavily as if she ran too fast, and I think she literally did. She looked at me and gave me a big grin. And I grinned back.
She jumped with her hands outstretched and gave me a hug. I hugged her back and gave her a few swings. And while I was swinging her while hugging her, two boys, one is older than me and the other is just my age, just came out of the door. They were the brothers of the blonde haired girl. I noticed them and looked at them. I put down Ino, the girl, and hugged the two boys and they hugged back. Then after a while, we separated.
"Shikamaru! Chouji! How are you?! How's your parents? How did you get here?" I asked them loudly. Shikamaru shook his head and asked back, "Do you have to be so noisy when you see us?"
"Of course not. When your not surprising me or giving me a surprise visit like this one, anyways. So, what brought you here to my humble abode?" I asked him sarcastically. And he let out a loud 'huff' and mumbled, "Troublesome."
I laughed then said, "Come on. We can't stay here forever you know. Oh! And by the way, I'm gonna cook dinner tonight. Wanna join us?" then Chouji nodded immediately.
"Of course! Sakura-chan, your cooking is the BEST!" he exclaimed and Naruto said the same while the others including Ino nodded in agreement.
"Alright. Alright. Just wait 'cause I need some time to change and prepare the food. Come on!" I said excitedly.
