Chapter 2
When Satoshi woke up he could smell breakfast. He got out of bed and walked into the kitchen. Hikaru, who was still in her pajamas, had just finished fixing breakfast.
"Good morning," she said placing two plates on the table.
They sat down to eat and were soon finished.
"I will take care of the dishes, you go get ready," Hikaru said as she collected the plates and went to the sink.
"Okay," he said and went back to his room.
When he came out Hikaru was in her room getting ready. He grabbed his bag and waited by the door. Hikaru came out of her room in a yellow dress with poof sleeves and poof skirt. She also wore black shoes and white tights. Her hair was back in her usual long braid the went past her behind.
"Nice uniform," Satoshi said knowing how much Shi hates dresses.
"Blah~" she complained as she grabbed her bag and followed Satoshi out the door. "So, do you remember the way to school?" she asked.
"What? You don't know the way to school?" Satoshi asked beginning to freak out.
"Yes, I know the way to school," Hikaru laughed. "I just wanted to see your reaction."
"Do you remember the way out of the school?" Satoshi asked remembering yesterday's events.
"If you just follow the crowd we will eventually get out," Hikaru said. "We need to find a way to meet up at the end of school."
"What if I meet you outside of your class room?" Satoshi suggested.
"Ok, I will wait there then."
They entered the school building and went to the main office to get their classroom number. Instead of just giving them a room number two people form the office escorts them to there class.
Class had started about ten minuets ago when the door opened to the class room. A person from the office walked in followed by a student. The student had short brown hair and brown eyes and seemed really reserved. If anything for certain he was defiantly handsome.
The person from the office talked to the teacher for a bit and then left.
"Class," the teacher addressed them, "we get the honor of welcoming one of our new students. This is Satoshi Sohma. He transferred her from a private all boy's school about thirty minuets away from here."
Haruhi who was sitting in the back of the class with Koaru on her right and Hikaru on her left watched the new student intently. There was something that was off about him, she just couldn't tell what. When she glanced over at Hikaru he was wearing a devilish grin on his face, she glanced over to Kaoru and his expression matched Hikaru's.
"Guys, just leave him alone," Haruhi whispered looking back and forth between Hikaru and Kaoru.
"No way, we have to," Hikaru began.
"introduce ourselves to the new student," Kaoru finished.
"Let's see," the teacher said, the conversation between Haruhi, Kaoru, and Hikaru not heard, "you can sit in the empty desk right in front of Haruhi Fujioka. Haruhi please raise your hand." Haruhi raised her hand and Satoshi went and sat in the desk in front of her.
(This is happening at the same time as the last scene)
The classroom door opened and a lady from the office walked in with a student behind her. The student had long blond hair in a braid that went down past her behind; she had fair skin, and bright, vibrant, dark blue eyes. If one thing was to be said about her it would be that she is definitely beautiful. The lady talked to the teacher for a minute and then walked out.
"As it turns out we have a new student," the teacher said to the class. "This is Hikaru Sohma. She used to go to a private all girls school before she transferred here."
Tamaki glanced over to Kyoya who sat a seat over to the right. Kyoya had a facial expression that said he was in deep thought.
'Father didn't tell me anything about a new student, I wonder why,' Tamaki thought to himself as the new girl was assigned a desk.
It was finally time for lunch. Haruhi had been starving since she didn't eat that much breakfast.
"Hey, Haruhi, you should come to the lunchroom with us," Hikaru said as they stood up to leave the class room.
"Yeah, it is probably no fun in here alone," Kaoru added.
"Ok, sure," Haruhi said as she put her books away. She paused when Satoshi got up and left the room. "Does something seem off about him?"
"Off? How so?" Kaoru asked.
"I don't know, he just seems off," Haruhi said as they walked to the lunchroom.
"You're just imagining things," Hikaru said.
"Yeah, I guess your right," Haruhi said. "Hey look, Satoshi is with a girl. Could she be the other new student the teacher mentioned?"
"Maybe," the twins said in unison. The twins went through the line and Haruhi went and sat at the table the rest of the club was sitting at. Honey was eating cake, Mori was sitting silently beside him, Tamaki seemed bothered by something, and Kyoya was busy typing away on his laptop. Haruhi went and sat down and Tamaki's face immediately brightened with joy.
"Haruhi! Did you come to share a lunch with your father?" Tamaki asked excitedly as Haruhi expression remained blank.
"Sempai, I already told you that you aren't my dad," Haruhi said.
"How can you be so cruel to me?" Tamaki asked going into his depression corner.
"What's the matter milord?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked coming back with their trays of food.
"Haruhi is being mean to me," Tamaki wept. Everyone looked at Kyoya when he stopped typing.
"So, what did you find out?" Tamaki asked Kyoya who stopped typing.
"Well they are part of the Sohma family, if you couldn't tell that by their last name," Kyoya said, "Hikaru Sohma, the girl is the older of the two, and Satoshi Sohma, the boy was born prematurely and has a few health problems because of it. Other than that it states their birthdays, eye color, hair color, height, and ect."
"Hey, Hikaru, she has the same name as you!" Honey said happily.
"Whatever, Hikaru is a weird name for a girl, anyway," Hikaru said brushing off the comment.
"I think it's a fine name for a girl," Haruhi said, "There was a girl in my elementary school that had a friend that went to another school who knew a girl named Hikaru."
"That was way to confusing," Kaoru and Hikaru said together.
"What else did you find about them?" Tamaki asked.
"Strangely, that's all I could find," Kyoya said.
"What that's all?" Kaoru asked.
"That's very little for a regular person, let alone Kyoya-Sempai," Hikaru stated.
"It seems they have high security on their personal information. I wonder why. And besides why are you taking an interest in them Tamaki, they are just transfer students?"
"I'm not sure, but they seem different for some reason," Tamaki said.
"It's almost like as if they were hiding some kind of secret," Haruhi said and began eating her lunch.
"Hey," Hikaru (Sohma) said as Satoshi walked up to her. School was over for the day and Satoshi had met her in exactly the place they had discussed. "Ready?"
"Yup," Satoshi said and they began walking towards the door, or so they thought.
(About 15 minutes later)
"No! We are lost again," Hikaru said.
"See, we should have kept the map, but no, you have a 'great sense of direction' you say, 'we can find our way around with out it'," Satoshi mocked Hikaru. "How about we ask someone for directions," Satoshi suggested when Hikaru shot him a death glare. "How about we see if there is anyone in that room over their?" Satoshi pointed to a room that had very elaborate double doors and a sign that said which room it was.
"Music Room 3? Ok, what ever you say," Hikaru said and placed her hand on the door knob.
She turned the knob and opened the door. When she pushed open the door rose petal flew towards them. When the petals cleared there were seven guys standing in the room. One with blond hair and blue eyes in the middle, one with black hair and glasses, a really tall one with spiky-ish black hair, a really short one holding a stuffed rabbit, a short-ish one with brown hair who looked really feminine, and last but not least, two red-headed twins. For some reason the one with the glasses and the taller blond one seemed familiar.
"Welcome to the Ouran Host Club," they all said in unison.
"Ah, the two transfer students, I was hoping you would come by here one day. Looks like today is the day," Tamaki said stepping forwards to the shocked two standing at the door. "We accept any kinds of customers here, transfer students, honor students, female students, male students. Please come have a seat princess," Tamaki said grabbing Hikaru's hand and kissing it.
"What the hell?" Hikaru shouted jerking her hand away. "Ya, know, we just came to ask for directions, but since we can't get that here, we can go find some other students somewhere else," Hikaru said turning around to head out the door, "come on Satoshi, let's go."
"Wait," Kyoya said, "we have some questions for you."
"Questions, what kind of questions?" Hikaru asked turning back around. Something in her brain then clicked and she remember why the one with glass and the blond one looked so familiar. "Hey, I remember now, you two, the one with glasses and the freaky blond one are in my class. Anyway, we don't really want to answer questions, so we will just be heading off now," Hikaru said turning around again.
"Wait! I know this all seems really weird, but if you could just give us a little of your time," Haruhi said stepping forward.
Hikaru and Satoshi glanced at each other and then back at the club.
"Fine," Hikaru said and Satoshi nodded. "But we have to be home soon so make it quick."
"Haruhi go put a sign on the door that says we are closed today," Kyoya said as Hikaru and Satoshi walked towards the guys. Haruhi went off the back room to find paper and a marker.
"Please why don't' you sit?" Kyoya said as Hikaru and Satoshi sat on a couch across form the club members.
"Okay, what do you want to know," Hikaru asked hesitantly not sure if she would be able to answer any of the questions.
"Why did you transfer to this school?" Kyoya asked.
"Reasons," Hikaru answered simply.
"Reasons?" Tamaki asked, "Can't you tell us more than that?"
"Nope," Hikaru replied.
"How come your name is Hikaru? Hikaru is more of a boy's name," Hikaru (Hitachiin) asked.
"One, who do you know my name?" Hikaru (Sohma) asked.
"Well not many people transfer into Ouran after a new year had already started," Kyoya answered.
"Touché," Hikaru (Sohma) said. "Two, because my mother wanted to name me that, do you have a problem with it or something?"
"Yeah, it's a boy's name, girls that have boy's name's sound to weird and masculine for girls," Hikaru (H) said stepping towards the two Sohmas.
"My mother thought it was a perfectly fine name for a girl," Hikaru (S) said standing up being a couple inches shorter than him.
"Well, what is wrong with your mother," Hikaru (H) began. A soft uh-oh was heard form Satoshi, "is she stupid or something? I mean geez, you have to be pretty stupid to name a girl a guy's name," Hikaru (H) said.
The next thing happened in a matter of seconds. Hikaru (S) drew her arm back and shot it forward in a punch hitting Hikaru (H)'s cheek knocking him to the ground. Satoshi tired to stop her but was to late and ended up knocking into her after Hikaru (H) was already on the ground.
"DO NOT CALL MY MOTHER STUPID! SHE'S SMARTER THAN YOU WOULD BE IF THERE WERE TEN OF YOU!" Hikaru (S) yelled why everyone, including Hikaru (H), stared at Hikaru (S) in shock.
"I'm sorry about all this," Satoshi said letting go of Hikaru and bowing to the host club. "I think we better leave now."
"Wait!" Tamaki said as they began to walk off but Kyoya stopped him.
"We will see them tomorrow during school."
The door opened and Haruhi came in.
"Haruhi, what took you so long?" Kyoya asked.
"There were some girls out there and I had to tell them why we were closed today."
"Very well, just come over here," Kyoya said.
"Okay," Haruhi stepped wrong and stepped on her untied shoe lace she hadn't noticed and fell. But she didn't fall on the ground, no. She fell into something, someone to be exact. She fell into Satoshi.
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry," Haruhi said but then she realized she was lying on a deer. "Um…" The entire club stared wide eyed at what just happened and Hikaru (S) cursed under her breath.
Hikaru (S) quickly picked up the deer and his clothes.
"Is there a back room or something?" she asked and Tamaki pointed to a door. Hikaru raced back to the room and stepped inside.
A few seconds later she stepped out without Satoshi or the deer.
"Care to explain?" Tamaki asked and Hikaru (S) frowned.
"Um, it's kind of a long story," Hikaru (S) said.
"We've got time," Kyoya said.
"The Sohma family is cursed," Hikaru (S) said very seriously.
"Cursed? Yeah right! What a load of baloney. Clearly she has already met Nekozawa-Sempai and he messed with her head or somethin," Hikaru (H) said.
"What you don't believe me? You saw it with you owns eyes and yet you doubt them?"
"It does seem a little ridiculous," Kyoya said, "but go on."
"Do you know the story of the god and the 12 zodiac members and the cat?" Hikaru (S) asked.
"I do! My mom used to tell me that story," Haruhi said.
"That is the curse; there is a God, the twelve animals of the zodiac and then the cat. If we hug a member of the opposite sex or get too stressed out we transorm."
"Whether it is true or not, I do not believe a deer is part of the story," Haruhi said.
"Well there is a hidden part to it, a part where there can become other animals," Hikaru (S) said, "and that's all I can tell you."
"Nothing else?" Kaoru asked.
"Well that's all I know about it," Hikaru (S) said.
Satoshi stepped out of the back room as a human again.
"I see," Kyoya said. "If you will excuse us for a moment." Kyoya and Tamaki got up and went to a back corner of the room to talk.
"We have come to a decision!" Tamaki said. "Since you two need something and we need something we can come to a compromise," Tamaki said walking back to the group with the Kyoya.
"And what do we need exactly?" Hikaru (S) asked.
"You need us not to tell about you punching Hikaru," Kyoya said.
"Wait, what? She punched Hikaru?" Haruhi asked just noticing Hikaru (H)'s swollen cheek. "Why?"
"We will tell you later," Kaoru said.
"And why do we need that?" Hikaru (S) asked.
"Don't you care about getting detention or suspended even," Tamaki asked.
"Why not? It's not like I haven't been before," Hikaru (S) said like it was no big deal.
"If you got detention what would it bring your total up to?" Satoshi asked looking at Hikaru (S).
"Thirteen I think," Hikaru (S) said.
"That many detentions? What for?" Tamaki asked in disbelief.
"The same thing that happened here," Satoshi said.
"What if we had a story about your curse put in the school newspaper, then everyone would know?" Kyoya said determined not to loose.
"What if we told the newspaper Haruhi was actually a girl?" Hikaru (S) said, "it sure would cause trouble for you."
"Who would believe you?" Kyoya asked.
"Who would believe you? Your story is more ridiculous than mine." Hikaru said. "What do you want anyway?"
"For Satoshi to become a host and for you to help out in the club for various odd jobs," Kyoya replied.
"NO," Hikaru (S) said. "Well we could have all of your memories erased."
"That's not possible! Is it?" Hikaru (H) asked.
"Why don't you let me called the person that does it so you can find out," Hikaru (S) said taking out her cell phone.
"Do you think he would be allowed on the school grounds? We could have security guards out their in a matter of minutes." Kyoya said.
"Hikaru, just do what they say," Satoshi said.
"But-" Hikaru (S) began but was cut off by Satoshi.
"You don't need to get in trouble again."
"Fine," Hikaru (S) said finally giving in.
"Good, you will start tomorrow after school," Kyoya said and Hikaru (S) and Satoshi left.
Hikaru sighed as she unlocked the door to their apartment.
"Sure took you two along time to get home," a voice said as Hikaru switched on the lights.
"Hatori! What are you trying to do? Make us have a heart attack or something?" Hikaru shouted as Satoshi shut the apartment door.
"Sorry we are so late," Satoshi said.
"We sort of ran into some trouble," Hikaru said.
"What kind of trouble?" Hatori asked narrowing his eyes.
"There was this club wanting us to join it and they wouldn't take no as an answer," Satoshi said thinking quickly which wasn't to far from the truth.
"Anyway, I just wanted to come by and check on you two. How was school?" Hatori asked.
"Fine," Satoshi said.
"Terrible," Hikaru replied honestly. "I hate it there."
"Maybe you will learn to like it," Hatori said.
"Doubt it. Hatori, why Ouran?" Hikaru asked.
"Because I have some friends that work for the school and could get you in," Hatori said. "Well, I have to be going now, Akito will be mad if I don't."
"Bye Hatori," Hikaru and Satoshi said as they leaned out the door to watch Hatori walked down the stairs, got in his shiny black car and left.
They were both about to go back inside before something caught Satoshi's eye.
"Haruhi," Satoshi said staring at the small host unlocking the apartment door next to theirs. Hearing her name Haruhi turned to see who had called it.
"Satoshi? Satoshi's sister?" Haruhi asked.
"We can't get away from them can we?" Hikaru said and frowned.
"Don't be mean," Satoshi ordered Hikaru and lightly stomped on her foot.
"So this is where you guys live, I noticed the apartment wasn't vacant anymore and I was going to come over and see who lived here and to greet the new neighbors later but apparently we have already met. I'm surprised you two live in an apartment, figuring you could afford to even go to Ouran let alone transfer in after the school year started. I pictured you living in a mansion or something," Haruhi said.
"Well it's nice to know that we know someone that lives close," Hikaru said smiling. "Plus you seem more calmer than some of the others. Oh, by the way, please don't tell them you know where I live," Hikaru begged.
"Don't worry I won't," Haruhi said. "Well, I've got to go now, see you tomorrow. Oh, I don't think I managed to catch your name."
"It's Hikaru," Hikaru said with a smile.
"Bye," Haruhi said smiling and stepped inside her apartment.
"Come on we're late," Hikaru said to Satoshi as they ran down the almost empty halls of Ouran making their way to Music Room 3.
"It's your fault you got lost again," Satoshi said.
"Ah-ha! Found it!" Hikaru said grabbing the door handle and pushing it open.
The whole club was decked out like a tropical island or something.
"What the-?" Hikaru (S) asked.
"Why are you two so late?" Tamaki asked.
"Sorry we got lost," Hikaru (S) said.
"Oh well what's done is done. Now hurry up and get changed," Tamaki ordered and threw them Balinese outfits.
"What?" Hikaru (S) asked.
"As a host and host club assistant you a required to dress up just like the rest of us," Tamaki said.
"But I don't wanna," Hikaru (S) wined.
"You are going to unless you want your secret to be leaked," Kyoya said coolly.
"Fine," Hikaru said (S) and stomped off towards a dressing room.
"Oooo," Honey said as Hikaru (S) stepped out of the dressing room while Honey and Mori softly clapped.
She was wearing a white flowy shirt with a large gold collar. The skirt was dark purple with a golden sash around the waist.
"Now Satoshi's turn," Honey said happily as Satoshi walked into the dressing room.
A minute later he stepped out, dressed in the costume, while Honey and Mori clapped softly again. He was shirtless, which reviled a bruise or two, and was wearing baggy pants that where dark red with a light orange sash.
"Okay everyone into position," Kyoya said and everyone got into their positions.
"Satoshi stand over here by me and Takeshi," Honey said pulling Satoshi over with him. Hikaru (S) stayed away form the group on the sidelines.
Girls flooded into the room and were seated at various tables.
"Tamaki, why did you decide to add a new host all of a sudden?" one guest asked and some girls went over to where Satoshi was sitting with Honey so he could learn the ropes.
"Being a transfer student can be hard, I know this on a personal account, we just wanted to include him and make him feel welcome," Tamaki replied in his princely voice.
"Aw, how sweet."
"Tamaki, who is that girl over in the corner?" another guest of Tamaki's asked.
"Oh, she is Satoshi's sister," Tamaki answered.
"Why is she here?" a third girl asked.
"Satoshi was born prematurely and gets hurt easily. She is just doing her job as the older sister and staying here to make sure he doesn't get hurt," Tamaki said.
"How adorable," the girls said, "a sibling looking after a sibling is just sweet." Hikaru (S) rolled her eyes hearing Tamaki.
"What is her name?" one girl asked Tamaki.
"Her name is Hikaru Sohma."
"What a strange name for a girl," one girl commented.
"How do you not get her name mixed up with Hikaru Hitachiin?" a different girl asked.
"Good point princess, we haven't thought about that," Tamaki thought for a second. "Kyoya what do you suggest?"
"I don't' know right now, how about you think about it and then we will discus it once the princesses leave," Kyoya said.
"Okay," Tamaki said and went back to his 'princesses'.
After the guest left Hikaru (S) was the first to change back into her school uniform. After everyone else got back into their uniforms he called a meeting.
"Hikaru, what animal are you?" Tamaki asked.
"A lion, why?"
"Hmm," Tamaki said.
"What are you thinking, boss?" the twins said in unison.
"AH-HA! I've got it!" Tamaki said.
"Got what exactly?" Hikaru (S) asked.
"Since lions are called shishi, we will shorten it and call you shi!" Tamaki said.
"Good thinking milord," Koaru said.
"I like that name," Honey said happily while Mori nodded.
"Well, what do you know? Tamaki does have a brain after all," Kyoya said.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Tamaki asked. Hikaru (S) sighed, this was going to be a long school year.
"We have to go now," Shi said standing up.
"Don't forget about the dance coming up next week," Kyoya said. "Both of you must attend."
"Yeah, I got it," Shi and Satoshi left.
(One morning while HIkaru is in the shower)
Satoshi picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hell, you have called Trust Ayame," a female voice said over the phone.
"May I speak to Ayame?" Satoshi asked.
"Hold on for just one minute," she said.
"Hello?" Ayame asked.
"Hi, Ayame it's me Satoshi."
"Satoshi! You've never called me before! What can I do for you?"
"Well there is this party that Hikaru and I are supposed to attend but I can't go since I would be required to dance with girls and it would be to risky of a situation and Hikaru won't go if I go but I want her to go and have a good time but one thing she doesn't have a dress and two she won't leave me home alone."
"Ah, I see, just tell me what I need to do."
"Well I was thinking that if I pretended that I was sick then I wouldn't have to go and I was wondering if you could make Hikaru a dress for the party and bring it here in three days. Can you do that?"
"Can I do that?" Ayame laughed. "Do not dare under estimate me dear child. I will see you in three days." Ayame finished and hung up.
(Three days later/the day of the party)
"Hikaru," Satoshi said walking into her room. "I don't feel good." Hikaru put a hand to his forehead.
"Hmm, you're a little bit warm," Hikaru said. "Your not going. It is better to be safe than sorry plus we don't want you to get anyone sick if you are sick."
"You're still going right?" Satoshi asked.
"No way, your sick and I have to stay here and take care of you," Hikaru said.
There was a knock on the door.
"I'll be right back," Hikaru said and went to go answer the door.
"Ayame?" Hikaru asked surprised as Ayame walked in with a girl with black braids wearing a maid outfit following behind him.
"Satoshi told me all about your little party you're going to so I made you a dress!" Ayame said.
"Well, I'm sorry but I'm not going," Hikaru said.
"Why not?" Ayame asked.
"Because Satoshi is sick and someone has to watch after him," Hikaru replied.
"I can watch over him!" Ayame shouted.
"I don't' know about that," Hikaru said.
"We are very responsible people aren't we Mine*?"
"Yes sir, we are!" Mine replied.
"See?" Ayame asked.
"Fine! But if anything goes wrong you have to call me immediately!" Hikaru said. Ayame handed her the dress and she went to her room to change.
"You look so pretty!" Mine said as Hikaru came out of her room. Satoshi, Ayame, and Mine where sitting in the living room. The dress had one thick strap on the left should while the other shoulder was bare and it came down about three inches past her knee. It was dark blue with a few ruffly layer alternating between the dark blue and white down at the bottom.
"Ooo! May I do your hair?" Mine asked excitedly and Hikaru gave in. Mine straightened Hikaru's naturally wavy hair and then put it up in a half up half down style.
"Shi and Satoshi are not here," Tamaki said. The host club was in a backroom getting ready for everything.
"Maybe they decided to skip out," the twins said together.
"This wouldn't surprise me considering Shi's attitude," Kyoya said. "Oh, well, they can pay the punishment later."
"Hey look here comes Shi!" Honey said happily.
"But where is Satoshi, he is the host, not Shi," Kyoya said.
"She looks so pretty!" Honey said ignoring Kyoya's comment.
"Who knew that such a tom-boy could look so much like a girl," Hikaru said rudely.
"Don't be mean," Haruhi said.
"Sorry I'm late," Shi said walking up to the hosts.
"Where is Satoshi?" Tamaki asked.
"About that he got a fever and I made him stay home."
"You left him alone?" Kaoru asked.
"No! A family friend is taking care of him. I wanted to stay home and take care of him but they made me come, so here I am," Shi said in one breath.
"Well I guess you did the right thing, we don't want our guests getting sick," Kyoya said. "Come on, it's time to begin."
(Later on the evening (the party is still going on (this is after Haruhi got all dress up and everything)))
"Why are you standing here all alone?" Kaoru asked Shi coming up next to her.
"Well one, I am not a host, and two, there aren't any guys to dance with, and three, I don't' dance."
"Well I am pretty sure at least trying to dance is better than being alone," Kaoru said.
"I'm used to being alone, and besides I haven't danced in three years and I won't start now."
"Why haven't you danced in three years?"
"My grandfather used to make Satoshi and I take ballroom dancing lessons and three years ago is when we stopped and I haven't danced since."
"That's kind of depressing."
"Yeah, well whatever. It wasn't like I even wanted to come to this thing. Satoshi and Ayame made me."
"Who's Ayame?"
"He is a family friend. He runs a shop somewhere, I'm not exactly sure where or what it is."
"Oh."
"Um, I think some girls want you to dance with them." Shi said and pointed to three girls standing their out of hearing range watching Kaoru and Shi. "Go on, go be a host." Kaoru walked off and Shi was alone again.
(Sometime later after the party during the end of the school day)
"Now the last thing on our list is to read the list of the top twenty averages in the class. To save time I will only read the top five. The list will be posted on the wall if you want to see the full list," the teacher said.
"Why bother? We already know Kyoya's first," one student shouted and it caused everyone else to say their input.
"Hey everyone quiet down! I took my free time and put this list together so you're going to be quiet and listen to the top five smartest students in the class! Now, to add suspension we will begin at five and work our way to one," the teacher yelled at the class and then cleared his throat. "Number five: Masaru Tsuwabuki, number four: Ayame Jōnōchi, number three: Tamaki Suoh, number two: Kyoya Ootori, and last but not least number one: Hikaru Sohma. Now sit and talk amongst yourselves until the bell rings."
"Hey Kyoya, I guess you finally got your butt whopped," one student said coming up to Kyoya.
"I wouldn't say that necessarily," Kyoya said smiling calmly. "This war is just beginning." Shi looked over to Kyoya who glanced over to her at the same time.
"You know Kyoya," Tamaki said as they walked to the club room. Classes were over now and they were going to set everything set up. "I never would have guessed you would fall down to second place in grades." Kyoya didn't reply and they walked the rest of the way in silence.
"Hey, Shi," the twins said as Shi and Satoshi entered the club room. "We heard that you," Hikaru began. "Have the highest average in class 2-A, which means," Kaoru said. "You passed Kyoya." Hikaru finished.
"Yeah, so? What about it?" she asked clearly in a bitter mood.
"So, it's a weird, I don't think anyone has been able to pass Kyoya before," the twins said in unison.
"Why do have to have your grades so high?" Tamaki asked.
"I want to go to college," Shi answered.
"But shouldn't your family be able to pay for it?" the twins asked in unison.
"Well there is enough in the account to where I can go to college, but I want to go a certain college. It's not to easy to get into."
"And what college would that be?" Tamaki and the twins asked together.
"Saint Anastasie University," Shi answered simply.
"That is one of the hardest colleges to get into! And it is in France!" Tamaki said surprised by her answer.
"Our mother helped that college get started. Financially wise, I think she donated at least half of the funds needed, maybe more," Satoshi said getting into the conversation.
"Who was your mother?" Haruhi asked also getting into the conversation.
"Anastasie Benoit," Shi and Satoshi said like it was no big deal.
"That is who the college is named after isn't it?" Haruhi asked.
"Yup," Satoshi said.
"Why aren't you living with her in France?" Tamaki asked and the two remained silent.
"Get ready, it is time to open for business," Kyoya said.
The rest of the time passed without anyone talking about Anastasie Benoit and college.
"Bye," Shi said as Satoshi walked towards the door.
"Hey wait!" Haruhi said. "We should walk home together."
"Ok," Shi said and the three left.
The walk home was silent. It seemed Shi and Satoshi were deep in thought about something.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow," Haruhi said going to her apartment.
"Yeah," Satoshi said and they went into their apartment.
Hikaru put her book down and went and sat at the table and just relaxed for a minute. Her relaxation time was interrupted by a knock on the door. She got up and answered the door. Hatori was standing there with two other people. One of the new people seemed about her age while the other one seemed about seven. The one that seemed about her age had white hair with black roots. He wore a sleeveless black T-shirt and black leather pants. The one that seemed younger was blond and had brown eyes. He was wearing a pink shirt and brown shorts with a fuchsia hat.
"Sorry, I had to bring these two along with me," Hatori said.
"Uh, it's fine, please, come in," Hikaru said moving out of the way of the door so they could enter. They entered and made their way to the tiny living room.
"This is Momiji," Hatori pointed the blond, "and this is Haru. Haru, Momiji, this is Hikaru."
"Oh, so this is the girl you told us about," Momiji said. "Hey Hari, she knows about the curse right?"
"Yes," he answered.
"That means I can hug her!" Momiji lunged forward hugged her but nothing happened. "Um, hey, Hari, why didn't she transform?"
