Ouran High School Host Club

Chapter 3

The Deal

Hiro just stared at Kyoya in disbelief. Kyoya just smirked at Hiro with the word 'sneaky' written all over his smug face. Hiro gulped and tried to speak,

"You d-do?" Hiro blinked as Kyoya nodded.

"H-how-"

"Hiro isn't the name of Keieimaru's child and it isn't a boy. He, however, does have a daughter by the name of Hiromi, who looks a lot like you." Kyoya placed his hand in his pocket and pulled out a small white picture. He handed it to Hiro and he did not like what he saw. It was a photograph of a small girl in a garden swinging on a tree branch. That girl was Hiro when he was 3. Hiro just sighed at the picture and finally let his girly self take over in the conversation.

"I guess you do know my secret, hunh Kyoya-sempai?"

She giggled a little and uncrossed her legs, "but…." She crumpled the small picture into a ball, "NO ONE ELSE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS, GOT IT?" She commanded with a serious tone. Kyoya justlooked up from his laptand nodded,

"Yes but on one condition."

Hiromi raised her eyebrow and cocked her head a little to the side and dared to ask the question

"And that is?"

Kyoya smirked but still held his gaze "You work as a host for the host club." Hiromi just smiled at this and nodded,

"But only if you keep my true gender a secret. Don't even mention this to the other hosts."

He smirked again and held his hand out for a shake, "You, my good man, have a deal."

Hiro gladly shook his hand while transforming back Hiro again. Kyoya pulled his hand away and went back to his typing as Hiro got up from his seat. Kyoya added something before Hiro left,

"You can observe everyone else today and start tomorrow. First up, the Hitachiin twins, since you have been getting along so well with them anyway." Hiro coughed. "But you can sit by Haruhi, if you'd like, and watch them from there. Understood?"

Hiro nodded and went to join Haruhi, who was patiently waiting for Hiro's return. Haruhi was pouring tea into two cups as Hiro slowly approached.

"Oi Haruhi!"

Haruhi flinched and quickly scrambled to catch the falling tea cups. "AH! OH NO!" Hiro saw this and quickly grabbed the hot tea pot instead of the tea cups, which shattered when making impact to the ground. Haruhi had a horrified look smack dabbed on her face. She knew what was gonna happen.

"UH OH!"

Haruhi and Hiro glanced behind them and saw the twins with evil smirks on their face. Haruhi sweat dropped and sighed. Hiro stared at them but didn't notice a small hissing sound coming from his hands. He looked down and noticed that his hands were turning red and pain piercing through his pearly white flesh. He yelped and let the tea pot falling to the floor shattering into small pieces. He fell backwards into a pair of arms and screamed in agony. Haruhi rushed to her friend obviously forgetting what had just happened. Hiro fell to the ground with the person and held his arms close. He began sobbing and weeping because of the pain. Haruhi placed her hand on his shoulder with concern,

"Hiro-kun! Are you alright?"

Hiro kept his eyes closed as Haruhi took his hands and opened them. She gasped at the sight. They were completely burned. His skin was red with slight brown on the tips of his fingers and the skin was peeling from the center. Kaoru came and knelt down next to Haruhi to examine Hiro's hands as well.

"How are they?"

A voice came from behind Hiro so he looked back and stared at the boy. Hikaru just looked at his hands with concern and worry.

"Dang…that has to hurt."

Kaoru looked up and stared at his brother with a 'No duh' expression. Hiro felt something brush against his hands and pain over come him. He winched and retracted his hands. Haruhi snapped her head up and looked at Hiro with concern.

"Hiro-kun… does it hurt that much?"

Hiro just nodded as tears brimmed golden eyes. Hikaru looked up to see if his brother could help him get Hiro off of him and onto a couch but he was nowhere to be found, just like Tamaki who has disappeared in thin air as well. Hikaru looked at Haruhi from over Hiro's shoulder.

"Haruhi, where's Kaoru? And Milord? There both gone."

"Here!"

Everyone turned to see Tamaki, holding a small rag, and Kaoru following right behind. Tamaki knelt down where Kaoru once was and gave Haruhi the small damp rag as Kaoru tried to grab Hiro's hands.

"NO! Don't touch me!"

Kaoru glared at him.

"Come on, we have to in order to let the pain reside."

Hiro glared back.

"No, you incestuous freak!"

"HEY! How'd you find out about that so quickly?"

Hiro smirked,

"Gossip travels fast around this school." He lied. Haruhi had told him of this before.

Kaoru slumped his shoulders.

"Oh… right. Now Gimme!"

Kaoru lunged for Hiro's hands but he pulled them away.

"NO Evil being number two!"

Hikaru glared at Hiro,

"SO I'm Evil being number one?"

Hiro looked back at him,

"You were born first right?"

"Yea."

"Okay then… I stand by my statement."

Haruhi sighed, "Hiro-kun… can I please have your hands?"

Hiro thought for a moment, "Hmmmmm…… Okay!"

The entire Host club did a sweat drop. Haruhi took hold of Hiro hands, gently this time and placed the cloth over them.

"Alright now let's get you under the sink."

Hiro got up with the help of Mori and Tamaki and walked over to the sink with Haruhi. She turned on the sink and put the water on cold. She removed the rag, slowly, from Hiro's hands and placed them under the water. Hiro winched a little but soon relaxed. Haruhi turned to Hiro and couldn't help but giggle. Hiro turned to his friend, "What's so funny?"

Haruhi giggled even more.

"Come On Woman! Tell Me!"

Haruhi burst into laughter.

"WHAT??"

"After…ha-ha…all you been trough…Hahaha…you still dropped the pot! AHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Haruhi fell to the floor in a fit of laughs of Hysteria. Hiro grimaced and turned away from her with a small 'humph'. But then, Hiro was reminded of what happened earlier that day. It drifted from homeroom to homework and finally to the twins.

'Something about them', he thought, 'is a little off.'

He turned his gaze to the two boys currently entertaining girls (AN: They let them in after the entire hands burning thing). Sadly, she turned at the WRONG time and saw a very WRONG thing. There they were, holding each other's faces, saying sweet nothings to each other. He was about to barf. He didn't know it was like this. The Hiro remembered something. He quickly wrapped his hands and left the laughing Haruhi (AN/ Yes, she is still laughing) and walked causally to the twins. Hiro's face turned into an innocent one.

'Well, can't beat em,' He thought, 'join em.'

"Hikaru-kun… I thought…"

Hiro looked down. Everyone at the table turned to face him. All the girls just whispered. Hikaru gave a questioning look as did Kaoru.

"I th-thought…" Hiro began to fake cry, "I thought you cared about me!"

Hiro looked up with tears brimming his eyes, "YOU SAID YOU'D TAKE CARE OF ME! BUT NO! YOU JUST WALKED AWAY!!"

All the girls began to cry along with Hiro with blushed stained faces. Hiro fell to his knees and began to sob. Hikaru's mind clicked and he smirked but no one saw it. Kaoru caught on as well but a little sooner than Hikaru. Hikaru made a guilty face and ran to Hiro's side as Kaoru pretended to be jealous as he ran to the other side of Hiro and hugged him. Kaoru glared at his brother,

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? Leaving poor Hiro-kun to mend for himself."

Hikaru looked shock and saddened.

"I only did it for you Kaoru."

Kaoru looked away. Hiro turned to him.

"Kaoru-kun," He said sweetly, "It's alright. Hikaru probably meant well or he just forgot." Hikaru glared. "But no one, not even me, can come between you two." Kaoru turned to him with concern,

"B-But Hiro-kun-" Hiro placed his slightly less burned pointer finger to his lips.

"It's alright… Kaoru-kun."

All the girls in the room squealed loudly making the trio wince and gain massive headaches.

The rest of the afternoon went well. Hiro spent some time with each host, play flirting with the girls, play flirting with the twins and even Haruhi (AN/ Because of what happened earlier) because she didn't really care, and telling the girl's about his 'commoner' life. Kyoya was impressed on how much profit they gained by having Hiro in the host club. He pushed up his glasses and returned his gaze to the person he has been studying for a while now. The brunette was speaking to her designators about how she received a scholar ship at Ouran and how hard she studied to get here. He found this girl interesting for quite some time now and he is not planning on losing any interest either. He was willing to make a move… but the question was… was she?


"PHEW! I say today was a job well done guys!"

Hiro sat in a chair next to Haruhi around a large cherry oak table. Hunny nodded.

"Yea! It was fun having Hi-chan around!" He played with his bunny's ears flapping them up and down with joy. "I bet all the girls did too, ne Takashi?"

Mori nodded and gave a small, "Ah."

Tamaki stood from his chair and held a heroic pose.

"I say Hiro should become a host!"

Kyoya sighed and glared at Tamaki, "You idiot. We've already made him one remember?"

Tamaki blinked at him and pondered for a minute then snapped his fingers, "Oh yes! Now, I remember! It was because he was good looking and had that little… thing with… Haruhi… this… morning." He mumbled the last part. Kyoya nodded and looked back to his laptop, "But we have one problem to solve."

Hikaru and Kaoru looked over to Hiro and examined him for a few seconds then smirked, "Yea, he doesn't have the proper uniform on and his hair is a huge mess."

"Hey!" Hiro glared at them, "There is nothing wrong with my hair!"

Hikaru laughed and said, "Oh really? Care to take a look at yourself in a mirror?"

Kaoru smirked, "I don't think he should Hikaru. He may break it…"

"WITH HIS FACE!" They busted into fits of laughter as Hiro glared daggers at them. Haruhi sighed and turned to Tamaki,

"Sempai, um… Hiro-kun can't afford the uniform remember?"

Tamaki turned to the petite brunette and smiled, "AH! Yes of course! He is a commoner like you so he couldn't be able to afford such a thing! Kyoya! Do we have another extra uniform?" Kyoya nodded, "GOOD! Hikaru! Kaoru!"

They stood and saluted him, "HAI?"

"Get his hair properly fixed and get him into that uniform!"

"YES SIR!"

The twins grabbed Hiro and dragged him into the changing from along with the uniform. They sat Hiro in a chair and got their 'tools of Hell' as Hiro called it. He couldn't stand sitting there as the twins chopped off the rest of his flaming red hair. He was screaming and crying on the inside.

'OH, THE THINGS I DO FOR FRIENDSHIP!' He thought.

When they were done they grabbed the uniform and smirked,

"Now, take off your shirt."

Hiro blushed shook his head, "OH HELLS NO!"

They smirked again and lunged for him. They were about to take off his shirt until Hiro pushed them out of the room's curtain.

"I CAN DO IT MYSELF THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"

Hikaru and Kaoru looked at each other and shrugged.

/ Few minutes Later/

Tamaki sighed and called for Hiro, "Hiro-kun are you done yet?"

Hiro sighed as well and answered, "Yea, I'm done."

Hunny smiled, "Then come out Hiro-kun! We wanna see how you look!"

Hiro sighed again, "Okay as long as you don't laugh at me! Okay?"

"Fine Fine whatever just come out now." They twins were as bored as usual and didn't really care to see what Hiro looked like but part of them did but they just ignored it. The curtain slowly opened and revealed a very presentable Hiro.

"So… How do I look?"
