The sun was shining brightly on the spacious back lawn of Ouran Academy. The sky was a pleasant blue, the grass a stunning green, and the huge crowd of High School girls as excitable as ever. It would truly be an eventful day for everyone.
"Hikaru, you're embarrassing me…" Kaoru said shyly as the other twin clicked the buckle of a helmet under his chin. Hikaru placed a hand on Kaoru's cheek and brushed it through his hair. He looked longingly into his brothers eyes.
"I just need to know you're safe Kaoru," Hikaru replied softly. An eruption of squeals and giggles was heard in the background. The girls swooned over the site at the not so normal brotherly love.
The two were now decked in various forms of safety gear. For the mini-sports day, the two had decided to try an American sport. Both were dressed to fit the part. Matching baggy cargo pants covered their legs and the pants held up by multi-colored studded belt-buckles. Long loose shirts hung from their shoulders. To finish off the attire were matching black vans. The twins released each other laughing happily as they picked up their boards.
The two ran towards the highly expensive ramps made especially for today's events. The girls' eyes traveled after them taking in every sight. Today was a treat like no other, seeing the twins in an entire new look. Kaoru stopped near the ramp and lowered his board by his feet. He bit his lip and gazed at Hikaru.
"But what if I fall?" Kaoru asked innocently.
"Then I'll be there to catch you…" Hikaru said sweetly. Some of the girls fainted at that. It was far too much. For those lucky few still standing, their attention was set. Cheers permeated the air as the twins took to the ramps.
Meanwhile the other customers focused on their favorites. Honey hopped to his spot set out for jump-roping. He had a mini exercise suit made just for him. The tiny blonde's hair was pushed back by a sweat band. Honey positioned himself.
A pink jump rope was held tightly in his hands. A determined look came to his face, although it just came out appearing adorable. The rope moved over his head and Honey excitedly jumped. His feet landed on the rope. The young man frowned.
"Aw. Oh well, I'll try again…" Honey said happily. It took him five more tries to get started, but he finally succeeded. A chorus of applause followed his triumphant jump. Honey giggled as he eyed Bun-Bun out of the corner of his eye.
The stuffed bunny had its own light blue sweat band around its head. The bunny's head lolled to the side as his owner continued to hop up and down. The girls' cooed as Honey mentioned that now he was like Bun-Bun, a joyful jumping bunny.
That is until his foot caught on the rope as he swung it around it. Honey's face looked shocked as he began to wobble. Then the small young man started to tip forward. The customers watched as their beloved host headed in what seemed like slow motion towards the ground.
"Takashi!" Honey cried out as he braced his arms forward. Out of nowhere, Mori rushes over clad in his Kendo uniform. He reaches forward and catches Honey. The tiny blonde balances his stomach on the larger boy's arms. Honey giggles lightly and stands u straight giving a happy cheer and pats Mori on the head, "Thank-you Takashi!"
"SO CUTE!!!!!" a chorus of girlish coos erupted. Much applause was given for Mori's most heroic efforts. Not all of the girls present were so easily impressed. Sakura had watched the Host Club's antics with the utmost curiosity. The pink-haired quirked a brow and turned to Haruhi.
"I don't think I quite understand some of your friends share…" Sakura commented in a questioning tone. Haruhi shrugged her shoulders and swung her tennis racket by her feet. Both girls stood on a temporary tennis court.
"You get used to it after a while," Haruhi replied. Haruhi bounced a lone tennis ball up and down on the ground. Sakura shuffled in her spot on the other side of the night. Instead of wearing the standard yellow dress, Sakura wore a women's tennis outfit.
Earlier that morning, the twins were very insistent on getting that same outfit onto the lovely rookie of the host club. Haruhi denied the request profusely. In the end, the outfit was offered to Sakura from Haruhi.
The twins were not pleased and they had no problems pointing out that the outfit was fitted specifically. However, the outfit seemed to mold to Sakura's body just fine. It did receive a rather inappropriate comment from Naruto, but that was quickly settled with a smack to the head.
Back to current events, Haruhi served the ball to Sakura. Sakura swung back and hit the ball back to Haruhi. Jealous eyes watched the scene. Some of Haruhi's customers found it completely unfair that the new girl got to play tennis with their Haruhi. It just wasn't fair…
The afternoon went on without a hitch until a runaway soccer ball careened into the tennis court. Sakura and Haruhi paused in their match. They had collected quite a crowd during their game and the random soccer ball had surprised everyone. Naruto stumbled onto the court. He rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Uh…sorry?" Naruto said with a goofy smile. Some of the customers once caught up in the tennis match giggled into their hands. They found this new host to be very cute. Sakura sighed and walked over to the soccer ball before picking it up. She tossed the ball to her friend that caught it with ease.
"Be more careful…" Sakura said in a scolding tone. Naruto laughed nervously. When Sakura got mad sometimes it was very very scary. Luckily at the moment there were far too many witnesses. Naruto nodded his head towards Sakura and then rushed back to his soccer field. He had gotten some of the other young men at the school to volunteer to play with him.
Haruhi lowered her racket and wiped some sweat from her brow. She walked to the net. Sakura noticed this and met her at the center. Their game of tennis had been going on for a while. Both were getting tired. Sakura swung her racket over her shoulder.
"I think we need to take a break. I think it was a good thing Naruto broke up the game by accident, I'm kind of thirsty," Haruhi said with a smile. A few of the customer's sighed with content. They could live without food for a week with that smile alone.
Sakura agreed to Haruhi's suggestion. The two went back towards the school to find a water fountain. There were water bottles outside, but they were located severely close to Kyoya. Haruhi didn't particularly want to deal with him right now. Sakura took note of Haruhi's gaze on Kyoya.
"I hope he doesn't get Gaara in trouble for picking sand castle building as his sport. I've noticed an odd tension between those two," Sakura said. Haruhi glanced back to look at the red-head molding a tower for one of his castles. The girls surrounding him seemed entertained. Haruhi turned back to Sakura.
"So you've noticed the weird thing between them to? Well, if Kyoya does try to say something I could point out the fact he's playing chess for his sport. I suppose in different spectrums both of those activities are sports…" Haruhi said.
The two made their way into the school. They walked down the hallway until they found the water fountain. The school was deserted for the most part due to the fact everyone was outside enjoying the host club. The water was cool to the taste. Both girls greedily drank up.
Sakura straightened up quickly. She appeared to be listening for something. Haruhi looked curiously at her. Then she heard it as well. They were footsteps. The clacking of shoes was coming towards them. Both sets of eyes traveled around. Soon enough they spotted the source of the noise. Haruhi was surprised.
"Casanova?" Haruhi said unsurely. The shy scary looking young man nodded his head. Sakura eyed the boy. His resemblance to Gaara was definitely there. She could tell just by looking at him. Casanova approached the two slowly.
"Hello Haruhi, I...I wanted to speak with you," the red-headed young man said embarrassedly. A light blush had crept to his cheeks. Sakura noted that the cousin's definitely shared different personalities. Casanova shuffled his feet.
"Oh, what is it?" Haruhi asked curiously. The two had ended on slightly odd terms since their last meeting. He was one of the few who also knew she was a girl. He never revealed her secret. Sakura noticed Casanova gazing at her.
"Um, may I talk to Haruhi privately please?" Casanova asked still looking at Sakura. The pink-haired girl bristled a bit. There was one thing for sure and that was Casanova was almost identical to Gaara in scary facial expressions. She felt threatened almost, even though the guy appeared just to want to talk.
"It's alright Sakura…" Haruhi said reassuringly as she eyed her body guard. Sakura turned to Haruhi. She eyed the girl she was mean to guard and then turned back to Casanova. She made a judgment call and decided it would be fine.
"Alright but I'll be right outside, okay?" the pink-haired Nin informed. Haruhi nodded her head towards Sakura as the other girl walked away. When Sakura was fully out of sight, Haruhi turned back to Casanova.
"So, what was it you wanted to talk with me about?" Haruhi asked. The dark faced boy twisted his foot under him. A blush was slowly forming on his face. He swallowed before speaking.
"Um, Renge said you wanted to talk about our relationship?" Kasanoda said shyly. Haruhi's eyes widened and she stared at Casanova curiously.
"Relationship?"
