Mix #3: Medical Emergency
Sally walked down the hallway the next morning; she looked up at the sound of girls squealing while a few of them were practically hanging off the balconies trying to get a glimpse of the fabled Ouran Host Club. Annoyed by how the girls were staring at each of the boys as if they were pieces of meat on sale at a deli. However, she could tell some of them basked in the attention while others just walked as if they did not hear the squeals and love confessions being yelled out towards them. She could have sworn that a girl had thrown her panties in hopes that one of the hosts would catch them. Shaking her head, she wondered just how anyone could act as if they did not have common sense.
"Hey Sally, you're her early," Ashanti came to her friend's side. "Oh, it's the host club's daily walk around before classes begin."
"They do this every day?" Sally asked curiously. "How do they sleep at night knowing they're responsible for the great panty drop of April?"
"I honestly cannot figure it out, the hosts are normally just here to charm the girls in our school or help people they see fit but lately I've noticed they've started using the mornings to gain more guests and to show off what they look like in the mornings." Ashanti tilted her head to the side resting her chin in the palm of her upturned hand as she leaned on the balcony's railing. "But I think that Hikaru and Kaoru enjoy the attention and make it even more fun with their twincest act."
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that," Sally watched as girls nearly mauled Tamaki. She rolled her eyes and waited until the host club got close. "Hey Shanti watch my stuff, I'm going to drop in on the hosts."
"Drop in on the—" Ashanti's eyes nearly bulged out of her head as she watched Sally jump over the balcony railing.
"Hey, one of you catch me!" Sally shouted as she fell, she did not care her skirt was practically showing everything she wore underneath nor did she care that people were screaming in horror.
"Sally!" Tamaki ran forward and caught her in his arms, he grunted a little before his legs decided to give away under him and he hit the floor rather hard.
"Yo nice catch Tamaki," Sally giggled softly and looked down at him; she laughed at how Tamaki was blinking in shock from the sudden impact. "Good morning dude, I thought I'd drop in on you and your posse."
"That was dangerous!" Tamaki scolded. "You could've broken your leg or missed my arms and hit the floor hard shattering your frame."
"Dude, I've fallen off the roof of a moving escalade once," Sally pointed out. "I nearly was road kill had I not rolled out of the way of a car behind the one I was in."
"Why were you on the roof of a moving car?" Tamaki demanded. "You're a girl! You shouldn't be doing stupid stunts!"
"Tch, don't get your draws in a bunch I did that when I was fourteen," Sally shook her head. "Ghost riding is fun and one of the dudes in my physics class taught me how to do it."
"Ghost riding? What's that?" Tamaki asked.
"It's something cool maybe I'll teach you how to do it some time," Sally said and then smiled. "So you gonna introduce me to your homies or do you guys follow the code of bros before hoes?"
"Oh right, um these are friends." Tamaki said finally peeling himself from the floor after making sure that Sally was on her feet. "They're part of the host club."
"I see," Sally walked to each host and looked at Kyouya in the face first. "Wow, he looks like a real pissed off dude. Did you like step on his new sneakers or something?"
"Ah, no no Kyouya's my best friend." Tamaki declared proudly. "We've been friends since I moved here from France."
"It's nice to meet you Moore-san." Kyouya said politely though annoyed by the girl staring at him closely. "I hope you know that you're invading my personal space."
"Sorry about that," Sally moved away. "So you're buddies with Tamaki here huh? That's cool; he needs an awesome bro to always have his back."
"I do intend to keep Tamaki out of trouble," Kyouya noted. "Even if he becomes too capricious for his own good."
"See, I like that." Sally laughed softly before walking to the twins. "Hey, you're that one dude that pranked Lewes-sensei the other day. I didn't know you had a clone."
"A clone of my brother," Hikaru looked at Kaoru a moment before looking back at Sally. "We're twins."
"I was messing with you," Sally smiled. "It's cool there are twins around here, hey! Do one of you get bored and like trade places? You know like one goes to class while the other hides out in the boys' room?"
"Why would we do that?" Kaoru asked. "It'd be no point as our teachers can figure out which one us is which."
"Ooh that is a problem," Sally nodded with her arms crossed. "Question withdrawn. Anyway what are your names?"
"I'm Hikaru."
"And I'm Kaoru."
"Ooh names that rhyme, rather cute." Sally smirked. "But I'll call you Hika-bro and you err…well I'll call you Kaoru because I cannot think of a good name for you right now."
"Uh…thanks…" Kaoru mumbled.
Sally walked over to the tallest of the hosts and looked up. She stared in surprise a moment before letting out a low whistled. "Ooh, he's the tallest boy I've ever seen!" She said walking around Mori a few times. "Damn dude, you're like the tallest dude I've seen so far. I mean seriously you must've drunk all your milk when you were kid because it did your body good."
Mori blinked a few times before giving a small chuckle, which was surprising as he did not laugh or make a sound often.
"All right dude you seem like a disciplined type who took a vow of silence because you must uphold the honor of your family because your family must kick a lot of asses as the Yakuza right?" Sally asked her eyes shining. "Dude you're going to be a bad ass mob boss, hey! Hey! If you do form a mob you HAVE to sit around a huge table eating Italian food like on the Sopranos."
"But I'm not a…"
The sound of laughter was heard as the small loli boy on Mori's back was trying his best to hold in the laughter before he finally lost the battle and was rather loud. "Takashi's not a yakuza." He said. "He's Takashi!"
"What the hell?" Sally raised an eyebrow before kneeling in front of the boy. "Kid, you should go back to the elementary school. This is the big kids' school, I know you like being like a big kid, but you have to wait for your time to grow up too all right?"
"Umn…Sally…" Tamaki began.
"Hold on a minute," Sally smiled. "Come on I'll walk you back to your school all right? You can hang out with the big kids afterwards. I am sure they'll take you to the arcade."
"Actually Miss Moore, Honey-senpai's actually a senior." Kyouya spoke up finally amused by Sally's antics.
"Uh-huh and next you'll be telling me that Biggie and Tupac are on an island with Elvis and Michael Jackson." Sally said.
"It's true," Honey, giggled as he held up Usa-chan. "I may not look it but I am really eighteen!"
"You're…eighteen and you are…" Sally went silent a moment trying to wrap her brain around the revelation. "That's rather…awesome? You have a baby face so you will be able to get away with anything which is awesome." She finally spotted Haruhi and laughed. "Yo you must be Haruhi right? I heard all about you from Tamaki."
"He told you everything?" Haruhi asked looking at Sally then at Tamaki.
"Yep, he told me that you're really a chick," Sally waved a dismissive hand. "I won't tell anyone else about your secret. I rather not spread something that is not anyone's business but your own. Just so long as you're happy with who you are and not afraid to step over the set stereotypes that are given to girls."
"Oh I like her," Haruhi smiled. "It's nice to find someone that doesn't seem to be in shock about it."
"I was at first but I got over it quickly," Sally looked up hearing the bell ring. "Anyway you guys we all should go to class. By the way, if you guys wanna hang out some time then just poke your heads into my classroom and I'll know you wanna hang out. At least until I get your cell numbers to text ya."
The hosts all nodded and began heading off to their classes. However Tamaki had dropped something out of the pocket of his blazer that rolled by Sally's foot.
"Hey…what's this?" Sally knelt down picking it up. She turned it over a few times before finding writing on it.
It was an Epipen. She assumed that one of the hosts may have dropped it and made note to return it to them when she saw them again.
"Man, I hate surprise tests,"
Sally stretched as she walked down the hallway later that day, she looked up at the ceiling, her mind had been wandering to her meeting earlier that day. The host club seemed to be rather nice and she decided they were not gigolos. As she mused this, she headed towards the open door that led to the roof. She had decided to eat lunch outside was better than being cooped up inside all day.
"Yo, Tamaki are you up here today?" Sally called out stepping outside; she looked around and saw that Tamaki was on the bench eating his lunch. She noted he was not eating his normal lunch but rather one from the cafeteria. "Is it good today?"
Tamaki nodded. "Yeah," he smiled and moved over making room for Sally. "They were serving dumplings today."
"Ooh cool," Sally said as she opened her bag. "So dude, did you pass your test that you had today too?"
"I didn't have one," Tamaki said biting into one of the dumplings. "Our class didn't have to do a surprise test."
"Lucky," Sally unwrapped her lunch and sighed. "I seriously think that I bombed mine, I was never good in Chemistry."
"You'll get the hang of it," Tamaki said. "If you like I can tutor you."
"That'd be cool," Sally sighed and picked up one of her sandwiches. She sat her bentou on the other side of her. "I really hope there are no more tests this week. It'd suck to flunk out a round of test in one week."
Tamaki nodded. "That'd be bad." He sat down the bowl of dumplings next to him and put a hand to his head. A strange feeling of light-headedness had overcome him. "Hey Sally, you can try one of the dumplings if you like."
Sally shook her head. "Nah, I rather not." She waved a hand. "I'm good today. You should eat them yourself."
Tamaki leaned forward as he tried fighting off the oncoming headache before he felt his throat tighten. He began to wheeze and finally fell forwards.
"Tamaki!" Sally gasped catching him almost immediately. "What's wrong? Are you all right?"
Tamaki tried reaching into his jacket pocket but felt that something he carried with him everywhere was gone.
"What's wrong?" Sally asked and noticed where his hand was. She gasped in realization of what he was looking for. She quickly took the Epipen from her bag. She opened the top and managed to press it against Tamaki's thigh as she heard it click. She held it there for ten seconds before she sat it down and pulled out her cell phone calling 911.
"Dude, don't move." She ordered and spoke to the dispatcher, as she made sure Tamaki was lying on his back with his head resting on her lap. She made sure that she massaged the injection spot.
"Damn it…what the hell? What was he eating to cause it?"
Sally paced around the lobby of the hospital they had taken Tamaki to. She had gone with them as she explained what happened but was surprised when the doctors told her that she prevented Tamaki from dying.
"Sally?"
She snapped her head up and saw Tamaki walking out of the room he had been taken in to. "You're all right dude; I got so worried that you would've died on me."
"No, I'm fine now…thanks to you." Tamaki gave her a gentle smile. "How come you had my Epipen?"
"You dropped it," Sally admitted. "I thought it belonged to one of the others and I had planned to return it to one of them."
Tamaki nodded. "Thanks again for the help," he said. "I must've eaten some Chrysanthemum."
"Chrysanthemum?"
"Yeah, I'm allergic to it," Tamaki shook his head. "That's why I go out of my way to avoid eating it. I guess that dumpling had it as a main ingredient but I didn't notice until it was too late."
Sally nodded quietly and she could hear the sound of the hosts running over to them. She stepped away so they could get to Tamaki. She was rather in shock at how she saved someone's life without even knowing.
"Idiot why the hell didn't you eat with us today?" Kyouya demanded glaring at Tamaki. "I've told you many times to check with the cafeteria staff about what they serve for lunch!"
"It was an honest mistake," Tamaki said. "Don't worry I'm fine."
"Tama-chan, why didn't you bring your own lunch like you always do?" Honey asked. "You never eat anything from the cafeteria because half of what they make has Chrysanthemum leaves in it."
"I wanted to try the dumplings." Tamaki shrugged. "I'm fine; don't worry so much about me."
"Boss, what would've happened had no one been up on the roof with you?" Hikaru questioned. "You would've died."
"And then we would've beaten ourselves up over it." Kaoru added. "We can't just lose you to some allergy."
"You should be more careful senpai," Haruhi said. "We can't have this happening again. I'm just glad you were able to reach your Epipen in time."
"Actually…" Tamaki said softly. "I didn't have it with me….I dropped it earlier and well…Sally was the one who did it."
"Sally?" The hosts looked over at the girl and they quickly did the only thing they could. They surrounded the girl expressing their thanks for saving their friend's life.
Sally however overwhelmed by what happened finally did the only thing she could. She lost the battle of remaining calm and fainted.
"Sally!"
Author Notes: This chapter did explain why Tamaki does not like Chrysanthemum in his food. It is because he is highly allergic to it and can die if he does not get medical attention or has his Epipen with him, This also shows the start of his relationship with Sally. I hope you guys liked the chapter and please review the chapter. I do like feedback if I should continue this story or not.
