Hey...
So...
I don't have anything clever to say for this intro...
So enjoy this chapter!
Dani is such a cutie
I'm so glad I created her
She just needed to exist
But that's just my opinion.
You know Ouran High School Host Club? Yeah... It's not mine...
Oh no... No no no no NO! This is NOT happening right now...
I stared at the six boys and the one girl standing outside my door, my mouth gaping. They were still in their uniforms. I saw Hunny-Senpai holding a box of something in his arms, pastries maybe?Hikaru and Kaoru were staring at me, almost like they were studying me..
Okay Dani... Try and play this off... You can do it... Think, think, THINK!
"Umm, hi! Can I help you boys?" I asked, giving them my best smile.
"Hello there, Princess... Is Daniel home? Are we allowed to see him?"Tamaki said, slightly bowing
Okay, I'm pretty sure Tamaki's fooled, but that's not saying much..
"I think so! I'll go see if he is awake. Who do I say is here to see him?" I ask.
"Say that the host club is here to pay him a visit, Miss..." Kyoya said, eyeing me suspiciously...
Shit... What's my name...
"Oh, Naomi. Naomi Mochida." I replied confidently, like it was my actual name.
Did I seriously just use names from Corpse Party?! Yeah.. I totally did. Mental face palm..
He continued to stare at me, then pushed up his glasses, pulled out his black notebook, and starting writing in it.
I have a scary feeling thats like... Senpai's personal death note in disguise or something...
"Well, come on in and make yourself comfy for a few minutes! I will see if Daniel is up or not. He's been sleeping most of the day." I said sweetly, opening the door for them.
"Thank you so much Princess!" Tamaki said, walking in, followed by Haruhi, Takashi ,Hunny, the twins, and then Kyoya. I closed the door behind them and quietly went up the stairs. As soon as I was out of sight, I pressed my back against the wall and took some deep breaths.
What the actual name of everything that is pure and holy are the Host Club doing? Why would they want to see me? I need to gather my thoughts. Quick, Naomi Mochida.. Make up your life story...
After a minute or so, I walked down the stairs. The Host Club was all cramped in my living room. Hikaru, Kaoru, and Haruhi were sitting on the couch, Takashi and Hunny were sitting in the floor looking at the the DVDs I had in the shelves, while Tamaki and Kyoya were standing. All eyes turned to me as I walked into the room.
"Can we go see Dani-Chan, Miss?" Hunny asked.
Just him asking me is about to make me crack and tell the truth.
"I'm sorry... What's your name?" I asked, keeping my act up.
"I'm Hunny! And this is Takashi, but you can call him Mori!" he said excitedly.
"Oh, well hello, Hunny and Mori. Daniel's actually sound asleep right now. "
"Can we just wait for him to wake up?" Kaoru asked.
"Umm I'm not sure. I have to leave and get back to work in about 30 minutes. But if you want, I can leave Daniel a note saying you came by and to give you a call. I assume he has your numbers?" I said, convincing them I was just someone "checking in in Dani".
"She does, thank you Miss Mochida. If Daniel isn't awake, we won't bother you any longer." Tamaki said, grabbing my hands and looking at me with his dark purple eyes. It took all I could not to crack up laughing at Tamaki's little act. I'd decided to go with it, pulling my hands away and pretended to be covering up my blushing cheeks.
"Awh... Well..you boys don't have to leave, I feel very rude just sending you away when you came all this way for nothing. Would you like some tea before you go?"
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK AM I SAYING.. NO...LET THEM LEAVE. AWAY WITH YOU!
"Thats very nice of you, princess." Tamaki said.
DAMNIT DANI!
"Would all of you like some tea?" I asked the rest of the host club.
They all nodded their heads in response. I walked to the kitchen and started the tea kettle. I put green tea in 7 different mugs. Then, I remember the small cakes I got from the coffee shop a couple days before.
These will certainly make Hunny-Senpai happy!
I grabbed the cakes from the fridge and set them on a small plate. I put the one with strawberries creating a rose on the top in the middle of the cakeplate for Hunny. I heard the host club whispering in the other room. I couldn't make out what they saying, though. I took the plates in both hands and walked it into the living room.
"Here are some cakes for you boys. I know it's not much, but it's the least I could do for some of Dani's friends!" I placed the plate on the coffee table. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hunny's excited eyes scanning the cakes. A chorus of "thank yous" followed, as they each grabbed a small cake cautiously. Hunny grabbed the strawberry cake from the middle, no hesitation, and started eating away.
He is the cutest thing! I knew he would like it!
Suddenly, I heard the teakettle screaming from the kitchen. I rushed to get it off the stove and quickly transferred the hot water into the mugs. I grabbed two mugs and walked into the living room. I handed them to Hunny and Takashi first. Hunny smiled and thanked me. Takashi sat emotionless as he took the mug from my hands. The next two mugs I gave to Tamaki and Kyoya. Then, after I gave 2 mugs to Kaoru and Haruhi, I gave the last mug to Hikaru. He wouldn't stop staring at me, it was kinda freaking me out. As I gave him the mug, his hand slightly brushed by mine. His eyes got wide and almost dropped the mug. Hot tea sloshed over the side of his mug and landed on my arm.
"Ouch!" I exclaimed, clutching my arm. The liquid stung my skin and made my arm red and angry looking.
"I'm sorry Naomi! Are you alright?
Oh, now you can say sorry?
"Psh, it's alright! It was an accident! Are you okay? You didn't get any tea on you did ya?" I asked him, grabbing his arm and looking it over.
He may treat me like dirt, but I'm going to be the bigger person here...
"Umm.. No, I'm fine." he said softly.
"Well Good!" I replied, giving him a smile.
Why can you talk to Naomi like this but not Dani?
I sat on the floor across from the couch, being able to see everyone.
"Now.." I said, crossing my legs and flipping my hair over my shoulder. "How do you guys know Daniel? Do you go to school with him?" I asked.
"We are part of a host club. Daniel joined our club when he started attending Ouran." Kyoya said.
"Host club?" I asked, confusion on my face.
Is it bad that I kinda like playing dumb?
"The host club is a club dedicate to making the girls at our school happy. We entertain them and make them feel welcome." Tamaki said.
"Oh I see! Yes, that's a very fitting job for you boys. You are all very handsome and polite!" I said smiling. I saw them slightly blush, except Haruhi. I giggled when I saw their reactions, then changed the subject," So what are your names? I know you are Hunny and Mori," I said, looking over at the third years. Hunny smiled at me, while Mori quickly looked down. If my eyes are correct, I think Mori might possibly be blushing...
"I would like to know the rest of your names." I said, folding my hands into my lap.
"Tamaki Suoh, at your service, ma'am." Tamaki said, stepping up, being his princely type. He got on his knees, grabbed my hand, and gave it a kiss. "It is wonderful to meet such a lovely lady. Especially someone who cares so much for our sick friend. I admire that .." he said.
Oh Tamaki, you're terrible... I'm so unable to even...
I pretended to give in to his dramatics. I giggled a little as he let go of my hand. Out of nowhere, I felt two pairs of arms slink around my shoulders.
"I can't believe we never met before!" Kaoru said on my right.
"How rude of us... Let us introduce ourselves." Hikaru said on my left.
"Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin!" they both said together, letting go of my shoulders and posing in front of me.
"Hitachiin? Isn't your mother a famous clothes designer?"
"Yep that's her!" they said.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you cuties." I said, playing this up for as long as I could.
They smirked. "Hey Naomi, would you like to play a game?" Hikaru said.
"Okay! What Game?" I asked.
"Which one is Hikaru Game!" They both said excited. I heard Haruhi groan.
I giggled. "Sure, I would love to play!" I said happily, liking Hikaru's change in attitude towards me.
Suddenly, both of the twins pulled out hats...
Where we're they hiding those? Up their asses? I mean, their pants don't have that big of pockets!
Anyways, the boys took out their green hats, stuck them on their heads, spun around each other a couple times, then turned around to face me.
"Alright Naomi, which one is Hikaru?" they said.
"Umm... I think Kaoru is on the right, and Hikaru is on the left!" I said, not actually knowing if I was wrong or right. It was hard to tell them apart when one of them wasn't acting like a dick towards me.
"Wow, you're right Naomi!" Hikaru said, pulling his hat off.
"Good job, Princess!" Kaoru said, winking at me.
Well hell yeah then!
"Really! Wow! I just guessed too!" I said, actually somewhat proud of myself.
"You actually didn't get it right Naomi, it was the other way around." Haruhi said bluntly.
"Really? Why did you guys lie?" I asked, looking slightly hurt.
"We didn't mean to Naomi.." Kaoru softly said, magically appearing right next to my left ear
"We would never want to hurt you.." Hikaru finished, whispering in the right ear.
You shameless flirters...
Wait,
Am I really that pretty looking?
Oh stop it you guys...
"Ugh, cut it out you guys, you're gonna make me barf." Haruhi said, pretending to gag. I laughed at her actions. "What's your name?" I asked her.
"Oh I'm Haruhi Fujioka." she said.
Should I be horrible? Yes.. Yes I should be.. It's time to mess with Haruhi a bit..
"Haruhi? Um.. Not to be rude.. But are you a girl?"
The host club got a shocked look on their faces and looked like he would start eroding away at any moment now.
There's a special place in hell for me, It's called the mother fucking THRONE.
"My sisters name is Haruhi, that's all!"
"Umm.. Well... Yeah I am..." she stuttered.
"Awh! You are the cutest thing I've ever seen! You're so pretty!" I said, getting up and giving her a hug.
"Oh, Thank you Naomi Senpai.."
Senpai, ey? I could get used to that.
I looked around the room, and saw Kyoya standing in the corner.
"And who are you?" I said to Kyoya. Everyone turned around to look at him.
He pushed up his glasses. " Kyoya Ootori," he replied flatly.
"Oh... Well, it's nice to meet you, Kyoya!" I smiled at him. He returned a half smile back.
I sat back down on the floor and smiled at everyone. "Now we're all introduced!" I said.
" Not exactly." Kyoya said, "I want to know a little about you, Naomi. How do YOU know Daniel?"
Kyoya... For real man. You're breaking my balls here...and I was doing so well too!
"Yeah, Naomi, how did you meet Dani-Chan?" Hunny asked.
Life story on the spot... 3... 2... 1...
"Well, I work as an intern at Daniel's mother's office downtown. I'm studying to become a lawyer. His mom asked me to come in for a couple hours to make sure Daniel was okay and then come back after lunch."
"Wait... Dani's mom is a lawyer?" Haruhi asked.
"Yes, he didn't tell you? Not much of a surprise actually. Daniel has issues trusting people. I've known him for about 4 years, but he still doesn't like to discuss his past or his problems with me, or anyone for that matter." I said, now actually speaking from the heart.
"That's so sad.." Hunny said.
"It's very sad, Hunny. He doesn't like people to worry about him. He told me he feels like a burden if he expresses his issues with people."
I looked up at the host club, they had sad looks on their faces. I looked at Hikaru, who had a guilty look on his face.
"I'm so glad he found you guys, though." I said to them. They sat up.
"Why is that, Naomi?" Haruhi asked.
"Well, you guys seem like really nice people. You seem to really care about Daniel. I hope he can... Open up to you guys." I said, mostly to myself.
"Thank you Naomi... We appreciate that.." Tamaki said, smiling.
We continued to talk for a long time, drinking tea and eating cake, until Kyoya stepped in and told them that they need to get going.
"Awww.. But we're having fun!" the twins shouted
"We need to get going, we've been here for long enough. And Naomi probably needs to be getting back to work." Kyoya said impatiently.
"Kyoya's right guys, I need to get back to the firm. My boss is not going to be very happy with me that I'm late." I said. I started to pick up the mugs, when Tamaki swooped in.
"Let me help you, Princess. I don't want you doing this all by yourself."
"Thank you Tamaki, how nice of you." I replied, giving him 4 mugs and I quick wink. I grabbed the other 3 and I showed him to the kitchen. We set the mugs in the sink and we walked back to the front door.
"Well, thank you boys for visiting! I'm sorry Daniel wasn't awake, but expect him to call you guys later!" I said.
"It was our pleasure, Miss Mochida." Kyoya said. I gave him a hug goodbye, which surprised him. He took a step back, and I let go. I looked up, his cheeks were turning pink .
Achievement Unlocked: Embarrass the Shadow King... ACHIEVED
I gave Tamaki a hug, who squeezed the breath out of me. I gave Haruhi, Kaoru, Hikaru, grudgingly,and then Takashi, who patted my head in response. Hunny jumped up to give me a hug. He wrapped his arms round my neck and squeezed me hard, just like Tamaki. When I dropped him, I saw he had red icing all over his face from what of the cakes that he ate. I laughed, "Hunny! You're a mess! You've got icing everywhere on you! Even in your hair!" Takashi glanced down at Hunny, who was now attempting to rub the hardened icing off of his face. "Come into the kitchen Hunny, I'll help you out. I'll be right back guys." I said to the guys as I walked Hunny to the kitchen. I wet one of the dish towels and lightly rubbed Hunny face until the red icing disappeared. While I was attempting the get the dark red icing out of his blond hair, he started asking me questions.
"What's your favorite color?"
"I like the color blue"
I actually like green..
"What's your favorite flavor of cake?"
"Chocolate"
Okay.. That one isn't a lie.. Chocolate makes the world go around...
"How old are you?"
"I'm 19.."
JK I'm like 15...
"What's your favorite Movie?"
"Princess and the Frog.."
ABSOLUTELY.
"What's your favorite animal?"
"I think Pandas"
"Really? I thought it would be dolphins."
It actually is...
"Why do you say that Hunny?" I said, finally getting the icing out of his hair.
"Well, you have a earrings with dolphins and your bracelets has little blue dolphins on it! That's so cute! Lemme see!" Hunny said, grabbing my wrist and inspecting the bracelet.
The bracelet Zander gave me almost 6 years ago...
"Oh... yeah, a friend made me this, isn't it nice?" I told him. He looked in awe at the bracelet.
"Hey Naomi, are you done cleaning up our little Hunny?" Tamaki said, peeking her head into the kitchen.
"Tamaki! Look at this bracelet Miss Naomi has!"
Before I knew it, the rest of the host club was standing there, looking at my wrist like a kid looks at DisneyWorld.
Where do they come from? I swear they move like Ninjas...
"Someone made this for you?"
"Why does it look so old?"
"Why didn't they just buy you a bracelet?"
I was bombarded with questions from the boys. Haruhi stood off to the side, shaking her head.
"Guys, quit it, you're starting to freak her out..." she said.
"You guys act like you've never seen a homemade gift before..." I said, laughing a little.
They blinked. Confusion was in their eyes.
Oh come on... You gotta be kidding me...
I looked at Haruhi for help. She didn't notice... as usual...
"Guys, ask Haruhi what a homemade gift is, she'll explain!" I said.
A look of horror flashed through her eyes..
Sorry Haruhi...
In a blink of an eye, they were all over her, asking her questions at lightning speed. Everyone except Kyoya, of course. He stood to the side, rolling his eyes at the ridiculousness of it all. I laughed, and helped to usher them out of the door. When we got them all out the door, I looked up at Kyoya and gave him a smile. He looked down at me, then smiled back.
"Tell Daniel we'll try to see him tomorrow."
"Okay!"
He nodded, then left my house, closing the door behind him. When they were all gone, I flopped on the couch, heaving a sigh of relief.
I tricked them... I really tricked them. High five to myself.
Not long after I laid down on the couch, I heard a small knock at the door. I groaned, then reluctantly got off the couch and answered the door.
Hisao was standing at the door with a goofy smile holding bags of snacks from the groceries.
I completely forgot he was coming over... Imagine if he came over while the host club was here, my cover would have been blown for sure...
Dani avoided the Host Club from discovering her secret one again! Isn't she such a good actor? I'm so proud of her *wipes away a tear*
Did you guys like my little Corpse Party reference? I'm pretty proud of myself...
But anyways! I hope you enjoyed this story! Don't worry your little head, there will be a late night with Tiana and Dani chapter, as per usual because I love you guys to death!
*smothers you with kisses*
Alright! I'll see you guys in the wee hours of the morning!
What am I doing with my life...
My sleep schedule is fucked..
MWAH!
