Ouran High School Host Club

Chapter 6

The Truth

"Thank you Sempai," Haruhi bowed to the blond who sat worriedly in the long black limo, "Make sure Hiro-kun gets home safely."

With tears streaming down his face, he nodded. It had taken 15 minutes to get to the house…umm...I mean mansion and it made Tamaki have anxiety. Haruhi turned and made her way to the front steps but stopped when the blond spoke one last time, "Please do be careful Haruhi. Keep in mind that Hikaru is-"

"No need to worry sempai." She turned to him with a smile. He returned it and nodded. He rolled up the window and told the driver to go and drove away.

Haruhi sighed slightly having no idea of what would happen inside of the Hitachiin Estate. She dragged herself to the front door. Once there, she raised her finger to ring the door bell but stopped once the door opened. She stared at the two figures standing in the door way. Then suddenly, she got butterflies in her stomach. She didn't like them… she didn't like them at ALL.

"Welcome Fujioka-san!" They chorused as they pulled her inside.

Oh yea…the twin maids… standing there with their matching devilish grins and matching uniforms.

"Ugh…hello…um…" They came closer to her face, "Yes?"

"Um…I'm here to see Kaoru…umm…please?"

They retracted and nodded, "Right this way." They turned and dragged Haruhi upstairs to the twin's bedroom. They headed up the stairs to the third floor but was stopped by a voice on the second floor,

"Oi, Haruhi, over here!"

The three turned and saw Kaoru waving from a room completely in the opposite direction where they were original heading. The maids let go of Haruhi's hands and bowed to towards their master, "Fujioka-san is here to see you Hitachiin-sama."

Kaoru leaned against the doorway and nodded, "Yea I know. Thank you. This way ,Haruhi." She nodded a crept away from the horror twin maids… what? They really scared her…

"Oh and ladies?"

They turned back to him, "Hai, Hitachiin-sama?"

He turned away from them once Haruhi was inside the room, "I rather you not tell Hikaru that Haruhi is here or that I am busy. If he asks, tell him that I went out. Understood?"

"Hai Hitachiin-sama!" Ands off they went.

Kaoru went inside then locked the door and turned to her, "You can kinda guess why I wanted to see you right?"

She nodded still in a daze about how beautiful the room was. She was guessing that it was a library since there were like 3,000 books on hundreds of different shelves. There were pink and burgundy couches, love seats and a few chairs. There were small wooden, probably oak, coffee tables in the middle of each set of seating arrangements. She sighed,

"I guess I sort of have an idea but I'm not really sure..."

He grinned and crossed his arms, "Take a guess."

Haruhi turned and kept a steady gaze on him and took a second to answer, "Hiromi." It was more like a statement than a question. Kaoru frowned and sighed walking towards a love seat and sat down, "Yea. How'd ya guess?"

She turned and headed towards a large pink (ew) couch that was just mere feet from the love seat Kaoru was in currently, "It's pretty obvious if you ask me."

He slouched and rested his head in his arm, "So… I think now is the best time to tell me what exactly made Hiro react that way when Hikaru… well you know…" Haruhi nodded, "Yea… I was thinking the same thing… well… If you really want to know…" she looked up at him and searched for an answer but all he gave was a slight nod. She sighed, "Well… then let me tell you exactly what Hiromi told me 4 months after I met her…"

"That's alright with me." He shrugged, "as long as I get to know."

Haruhi sighed and sat back in her seat, "This is what she told me…"

"Ruhi-chan?"

The long haired brunette turned to her friend, "Hai, Romi-chan?"

"If I told you a secret, would you promise to keep it to yourself?" The long haired red-head held out her pinky.

Haruhi smiled and hooked her pinky with Hiro's, "I promise." Hiro's smile turned into a frown…,

"Well… remember when I told you my father died when I was only 8 months?"

Haruhi nodded.

"Well… my mother felt like it was my fault and… she began to…began to…" Hiromi's ocean blue eyes began to fill with tears, "She…" Haruhi put her hand on Hiro's shoulder. Hiro winced and pulled away from Haruhi.

"Hiromi…-chan?"

She didn't bother looking at her and she just pulled down the sleeve of her blue t-shirt and revealed a once deep scab wound that started at the bottom of her ear to the top of her arm. It looked like someone took a sharp object and just dragged it across her pale flesh. Haruhi's eyes narrowed,

"She did this to you?"

Hiro cried even more, "Yes…"

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Haruhi lifted Hiro's sleeve.

"I couldn't. My mother said she would do much worse if I did." Hiro turned to her friend, "But now… I'm tired of it. Haruhi… I need your help."

"The after that, we told my dad and her mom was arrested and my dad gained custody of her so now she lives with us." Haruhi smiled.

Kaoru just stared at her, dumbfounded of what he just heard,
"You're serious?"

She nodded.

"Wow," Kaoru placed his hand on his head, "I never thought she would have it that hard."

"Yea," Haruhi's head dropped, "I never did either, that is, until she told me." Then something clicked, "Wait, Kaoru?"

He looked up at her, "yea?"

"You said you had something to tell ME not the other way around." Kaoru stiffened. "So…," Haruhi sat up, "What is it?"

Kaoru blinked and scratched the back of his head, "Well um…how can I say this…?"

Haruhi just stared at him.

"Well, you know when you told us that Hiro was actually Hiromi I kinda was like…oh wow I actually thought…um…"

Haruhi smiled, "You thought you were gay?"

Kaoru blushed deeply, "Umm..yea…"

Haruhi giggled, "So, you like Hiro-kun, hunh?"

Kaoru shoot up from his seat, "Don't say it like that! I mean…I thought I was but-"

"But in school you are."

He turned even darker, "No I-"

"Yes because in school Hiro-kun is real and is not Hiromi-chan so…if you like Hiromi-chan here, you like Hiro-kun at school. So that would make you bi, right?"

"NO! Just…aw forget it!" He sat down with a humph.

Haruhi laughed, "I'm just kidding Kaoru!" She calmed down, "But…seriously…?"

He stared at her.

"Are you in love with Hiro?"


Next Day

Morning Meeting

___________________________________________________

"Ohiyo Haruhi-chan!" Hunny greeted with a smile and a big hug.

"AH! Oh, Ohiyo Hunny-sempai."

"Oh my daughter you're alive! Thank heavens!" Tamaki twirled Haruhi around in a circle.

She blushed, "Ano…ah sempai! Let me go!" He did so, "Gomen Haruhi!"

"Ohiyo Haruhi," a calm voice came from behind her. She turned and found the person she was talking too just hours ago, "Oh…Ohiyo Kaoru. How's Hikaru?"

Kaoru sighed, "He didn't want to come today. What about Hiro?" Haruhi shook her head. The suddenly a horrible eerie presence hovered over them, "Well if neither are here today, then you two are going to have to make up for that." They turned and faced the evil Shadow King himself, "But… but… but-" The black flame surrounding him suddenly got bigger. "Okay Okay! We'll do it!"

Well, except for the incident today, it was just like an ordinary average day at the Host Club. Morning customers get to be hosted, hosts get to do their jobs, and …wait…

"Ano…Kyoya-sempai?" a girl in a group of girls that had approached the nerd (XD sorry!) spoke up, "Where is Hikaru-kun?"

"Yea and Hiro-kun?" another asked.

Kyoya pushed up his glasses to the brim of his nose, very upset about the low profit the club has been getting lately, "I'm sorry ladies. It seems neither of them are-

"KYAA!!! IT'S HIRO-KUN!!!"

Everyone, including Haruhi, turned and were shocked to see Hiro actually stand there looking as cool as a clam. He wasn't wearing his uniform though. Instead, he had on a white T-shirt, a leather vest over that, loose fitting red jeans held up with a checkered belt, a red fingerless glove on his right hand, and checkered converses. His hair was the usual except he had a pin holding his bangs back.

All of the girl's had hearts in their eyes, the host's mouths were wide (except Kyoya Mori and Haruhi), and Hiro just smiled,

"What? Is there something on my face?" Hiro rubbed his face with his ungloved hand. The once he raised his head, he made the cutest innocent face and some girls squealed while some squealed and fainted. Haruhi ran up to where Hiro was,

"Hiro-kun, why are you here?"

Hiro turned to her, "I go to school here silly!" Haruhi slapped him upside the head,

"Baka, not what I meant! I meant, why are you here dressed in that?" Haruhi pointed to her friend's clothes, "I highly doubt you wanted to come to school today, period."

Hiro chuckled, "Nah Haruhi! I just came to give this note to the headmaster saying I won't be in today."

Haruhi sweat dropped, "Then why didn't you let me do it?"

"Because you left before your dad even had time to write it." Hiro grinned, "So I said I would go."

Then Hunny came out of nowhere, "But wouldn't they get suspicious since you are the one delivering your absent note?"

Hiro nodded, "Yes actually, I did. That's why I came here so I could ask Tamaki-sempai to give it in for me." Haruhi sighed,

"Well, he is with his customers so I'll take it." She held out her hand waiting for the letter but Hiro just pouted, "No."

"Why not?" Haruhi crossed her arms.

"Because you'll probably lose it like you lost my iPod last year." Hiro scowled at her.

Haruhi scratched her cheek, "Oh…um… you still remember that?" He nodded. She sighed. She knew she was not gonna win this fight...

"HIRO-KUN!!!"

"WAHHH!!!" Hiro flinched as was glomped by the all-so-favorable king… Tamaki. He rubbed his face against his own, "OH HIRO, MY SON! YOU CAME!" Tamaki pulled away and stared at Hiro with glittering anime eyes, "YOU MUST LOVE YOUR FATHER SO MUCH!!!"

"Ew…incestuous I see?" Hiro stated with a smirk. Tamaki went wide-eyed, "NO! That isn't what I meant!! I just want a father and son relationsh-"

"Oh so you want me to be gay too?"

All the girls in the room turned to them. Some with hearts in their eyes, others with tomato faces, and the rest had waterfalls coming out their noses. Tamaki turned red and pulled himself away from Hiro, "NO NO!! I mean… uh… I just wanted us to be-"

"A couple?" Hiro questioned with a disgusted look.

"NO! I-"

"So now you're too good for me?"

"No! I mean-"

Hiro growled, "You good for nothing cheap bi-polar freak!" He stuck his tongue out at him. Tamaki burst into tears and sat in his emo corner. Haruhi just laughed, "I guess you have no choice do you Hiro-kun?"

Hiro turned to her, "Hunh?"

"Tell you later." Haruhi winked.

"Umm..okay...," Hiro turned back to everyone, "Sorry for interrupting you everyone," A chestnut haired girl with green eyes began walking towards him, her eyes focusing on nothing but him. His eyes widened. She spoke softly, "Hiro-kun may I…umm," she stopped but her friends told her to keep going, "May I…," She reached out a hand towards him,

"AH! Onna, Abunai! (Girl, Watch out!)"

Hiro sprinted to the girl as her foot made contact with a puddle of cold tea that was in the way of the girl's path. She slipped and fell forward, "AH!" She closed her eyes and waited for the impact. Hiro ran as fast as he could but then slid the rest of way there and caught her by her waist and was stopped by the couch. They hit it with a loud thump. Everyone in the room stared in awe.

The young girl slowly opened her eyes, "Emm AH! Gomennasai, Hiro-kun! (I'm sorry, Hiro!)" She stared up at him, into his eyes. She blushed. Hiro slowly opened his eyes, "Are you alright, my princess?"

"Hai…" She inched closer to him, "Ano…Hiro-kun…" Hiro backed away a little and stared to panic,"Nani?"

The girl closed her eyes and pucked out her lips, "Kiss shite… (Kiss me.)" She leaned even closer… waiting for him. Hiro saddened, "I'm sorry I-"

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Tamaki screamed as he rushed to the pair of freshmen, "Hiro not your first –banana peel slip-"

BUMP

*smooch*

GASP!

:D

Everyone stared in shock and in silence… No one breathed. No one moved. They all stared in silence. Then the girl spoke up,

"Hi-Hiro-kun is…gay?"

Tamaki and Hiro were…(UGH!)…KISSING!?!?!?


Me: I'll end that there!!! MUHAHAHAHA!!! I'm tired.

Haruhi: Well, I'll explain why it is taking so long since…um…

Me: -lies down under a Hikaru and Kaoru blanket with her Hitachiin plushies and naps-

Haruhi: Well…yea… anyway. Um, you see school, social life, and family life is kinda becoming more and more of need of attention. Too much homework, too many art requests, and too much family business is becoming too much of a hassle.

Me: -stirs- too much…homework…video due…on Dec 1! –snores-

Haruhi: So she probably won't update for a while.

Me: -nods-

Haruhi: VOTE NOW BECAUSE LADY MIYAKA IS GONNA START WITH THE LOVEY-DOVEY JUNK IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!

Me: -jumps up- IT IS NOT JUNK –cuddles up with plushies and goes back to sleep-

Haruhi: Yea…UNTIL NEXT TIME!!! –smiles-
