Chapter 2
The school day had finally ended but now the Host Club had begun. Girls filled the Music Room, each with their favorite hosts. Hikaru and Kaoru were doing their brotherly love act or 'Homo Bros Scene' as Harley likes to call it. Tamaki was being his overdramatic prince-like self. Honey was winning over girls with his cuteness with Mori. Kyouya was occasionally selling his host club merchandise, but was mostly typing in his laptop. Harley sat next to Haruhi, who was charming girls with her simple ways.
Harley was finishing up the last of her homework. Once she was done, she got up, and began to drift through the room. He first stop was the Hittachiin brothers' table. She stayed there for literally five seconds before she left out of boredom. She ignored Tamaki's table, trying to skip another 'daddy, daughter' scene. Harley stopped at Honey and Mori's table.
"Can I sit here, Honey senpai?" she asked the short senior gesturing to a seat next to him.
"Of course, Harl-chun. Do you want some cake?'' he asked innocently. Harley bit her lip. She knew that a slice of cake, even a small one, would overthrow her diet. 'One slice of chocolate cake never hurt anyone, right?' she told herself, and gratefully took the slice of cake. Only crumbs were on the plate a minute later.
"Wow, you really like cake! Do want some more?" Honey asked.
"It's okay, Honey, one slice is enough." He nodded, and returned to his customers. 'I already miss the chocolate,' Harley thought glumly. She looked at Mori. He was silent and only moved to perform a small acts to please his customers. His tall stature and silence reminded her of Areily. She shrugged and left their table.
For her last destination, Harley sat on opposite side of Kyoya's couch. She pulled out her own laptop, and logged in. She felt his eyes travel to her, but ignored him. So they just sat there. The only sound came form the clicking of their keyboards.
Finally, the host club was closed, and all the customers left except a certain green-eyed brunette. She was still typing in her laptop, and hadn't noticed the girls leave. Harley had, lets not dance around the word, hacked in Ouran's mainframe. She needed to learn more about the six boys and one girl around her. Her photographic memory was helping her memorized important details and information about her new friends.
'Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane.'
"What kind of ringtone is that?" Hikaru asked. The ringtone had gotten the hosts' attentions.
"A damn good one," Harley responded as she answered her phone.
"VIOLETS ARE RED! ROSES ARE BLUE! IF YOU DON'T PICK US UP, WE'LL F*CKING KILL YOU!" two identical voices yelled through the phone.
"Nice to hear that you two demons are doing well," Harley grumbled. The hosts raised their eyebrows.
"HARLEY, YOU BETTER HAVE CAKE WITH YOU!" A different high female voice said. Harley's phone wasn't even on speaker, but everyone could still hear the other side of the conversation.
"What airport and terminal are you guys in?" Harley asked as she stuffed her laptop with one hand and held her phone with the other. She completely ignored the cake demand.
"Oooh, are my daughter's friends coming over?" Tamaki asked in a Tamaki-like fashion.
"Shhhh!" Harley growled at him. He yelped and went to his emo corner. "Uh, huh, The Kūkō Airport, terminal nine, got it, bye." She hung up.
"Interesting friends you have," Kyoya said, and wrote something in his black book.
"Yes, because these six are the most normal people in the world," she retort with a roll of her eyes. "I got to go, bye."
"Wait!" Tamaki had left his emo corner. "As your father, I must come and meet your friends!" he announced striking a pose.
"First of all, your not my dad, thank god for that, second you can come but I'm taking my bike, and third bring cake, or Shay will kill me," she said.
"Yay! Come Haruhi lets go meet your sister's friends," Tamaki smiled and hooked his arm with Haruhi. "Lets go!" He hooked his other arm Harley, who had dropped her messenger bag in surprise, and dragged both brunettes out of Music Room.
"We're coming too," Hikaru and Kaoru said, and chased after the three.
"Takashi, lets go too, and bring cake," Honey said.
"Yeah," Mori said carrying a few boxes of cake. They left the room, leaving Kyoya by himself. He continued to type on his laptop until he noticed a worn old black leather messenger bag on the floor. Kyoya put his laptop away, and picked up the messenger bag. He left the music room as well, and made his way to the limo with the rest of the hosts.
The airport was packed with people. Everyone walked behind Harley as she pushed a way through the crowd of people. Finally they had made to terminal nine.
"Are commoner's airports always this crowded?" Hikaru asked Harley.
"Yes," she mumbled too preoccupied trying to find her friends.
"Harl-chun, how come you have a passport and Haruhi doesn't?" Honey asked.
"That's because I'm an American citizen," she said.
"What do you mean?" Kaoru questioned.
"American citizens, third class, middle class, or first class, all get American passports just because they're citizens," she said. "Where the hell are they?"
"Is that them?" Tamaki asked pointing to a group of girls.
"No."
"How about them?"
"No."
"Them?"
"NO DAMNIT!" Tamaki went to a makeshift emo corner and started growing mushrooms in the airport. Suddenly, a tiny pink girl attacked Harley.
"Harley! I missed you so mu- is that cake?" the pink girl said looking at the cake boxes in Honey's hands. The girl was tiny, about three inches shorter than Honey, and resembled a little girl. She had long, it reached her waist, straight bright pink, with straight even bangs above her eyes, and had a red ribbon intertwined in her hair. She had wide light blue eyes, and wore dark blue mascara. She was dressed in a white tank top with the word 'Love' in red written on it, a short red skirt, white knee-high socks, and red converse. She jumped off Harley, and walked towards Honey.
"Hi, I'm Shay," she said sweetly. "Can I have some cake, please?"
"Hi Shay-chun, I'm Honey," he said. "We can have cake together." With that the two short eighteen year olds sat on a bench, and enjoyed their cake.
"HARLEY!" Two twins called out, and tackled, or more like groped, Harley. The twins were identical. They both had long wavy light brown hair that was pulled into side ponytails on the left. They wore neon pink contacts and matching mascara, identical white blouses that had the sleeves ripped off, red and gold vest, red plaid short skirts with white ruffles, and red high heels.
"We missed you so much," one twin said.
"Especially your boobs," the other said.
"It was a horror not being able to molest your D-cups in over sixteen hours!" they cried together. A twitching Harley grasped their heads and bumped them together (from now on, its called a head bump).
"Stop acting like perverts, you little demons," Harley growled. They ignored her, and walked over to the other hosts.
"Look Rose, Harley got us a male harem as a welcoming gift," one twin said.
"Isn't that sweet, Violet?" the other twin, Rose, said. They both snickered in a devilish way.
"We're not a harem," Hikaru and Kaoru said.
"Sure," Violet and Rose said rolling their eyes. By now Tamaki had already left his emo corner. He wrapped his arm around Harley's shoulder.
"Why don't you introduce your friends to your darling daddy?" Tamaki said.
"Daddy?" Rose laughed.
"We've been gone for less than a day, and you're already doing kinky role play," Violet added. The female twins laughed. Harley's right eye twitch, and head bumped the twins again. She then thwacked Tamaki in the head, who unwrapped his arm from her shoulder, and retreated to his emo corner.
"Girls this is the Host Club," Harley said. "That's Honey, sugar tooth Jr.," she pointed to the blonde who was still eating cake with Shay. "That's Mori, Mr. One Syllable Words," she gestured to the tall teen who just stood there. "That's Hikaru and Kaoru, Thing 1 and Thing 2," she pointed towards the twins who stuck their tongues out at her. "That's Haruhi, the fem-host," she gestured to the brunette who ignored her. "That's Kyoya, evil dark lord of hell," she pointed to Kyoya who glared at her. "And last and least Tamaki, the not so charming Prince Idiot," she took a huge breath and pointed to Tamaki who was busy growing a mushroom far.
"Hosts," Harley said. "This is Shay, my pink oompa loompa," she pointed at Shay who showed her the finger, and continued eating cake with Honey. "That's Violet and Rose, my demons from hell who have been sent to this world to terrorize every waking moment of my existence," she pointed at the female twins.
"Awww! You make us blush," the female twins said.
"And finally, Areily, my little mermaid," Harley said. She looked around for the taller girl but couldn't find her. "Where's Areily? WHERE THE HELL IS AREILY, SHAY!" Harley picked up the tiny teen and shook her. She seemed frantic. Who ever Areily was, she must have been very important to Harley.
"Crap, I knew I was forgetting something," Shay mumbled. This set Harley off.
"YOU FORGOT MY AREILY?" Harley yelled. She dropped Shay and began to pull at her hair (her hair, not Shay's).
"HEY DON'T YELL AT ME! I DIDN'T HAVE MY SUGAR YET! THE GIFT SHOPS DID'T HAVE ANY CAKE AND ALL THE CANDY TATSED LIKE SEAWEED AND FISH! I COULD HARDLY REMEMBER MY OWN NAME LET ALONE AREILY!" Shay yelled.
"Ooooooooh, someone's in trooouuuuuble!" Violet and Rose cooed. Harley turned towards the female twins.
"And you two, how could you not notice Areily was gone?" Harley growled at the two.
"Hey weren't you just screaming at Shay, remember?" Rose said in defense.
"Yeah, and Areily so quiet, we just thought she was right behind us," Violet said. Harley suddenly went silent, joined Tamaki in his emo corner, and sat in a fetal position. Haruhi walked over to the two second-years, and patted Harley on shoulder.
"Don't worry, senpai, will find your friend," Haruhi said. Harley and Tamaki suddenly jumped up, scaring Haruhi.
"That's right, Haruhi, we will find her!" Harley said.
"Men, lets help Harley find her Areily," Tamaki announced. The two linked arms, and ran in a random direction. The rest of the Hosts, female twins, and Shay all sweat dropped.
"One second she's an Evil Shadow Queen," Hikaru said.
"The next, she's an Idiot Princess," Kaoru finished.
"It's the best of both worlds," Violet and Rose said.
The host club plus four girls searched through the airport for Areily. They searched the gift shops, terminals, bathrooms, and waiting areas. Thirty minutes later, Harley had stopped them all.
"We need to find a tree," she told them.
"What," Kyoya asked.
"A tree! I told Areily that if she was ever lost that all she needs to do is find a tree, and hug it," she told Kyoya as if it made prefect sense.
"There are no trees in the airport," Kyoya said stubbornly. Harley glared darkly at Kyoya.
"So now you decide to act intellect."
"It isn't an act."
"I wonder if they ever shut up in that hellhole that you're from."
"You're depriving some poor village from their idiot." Violet and Rose held Harley back before she could attack Kyoya.
"Come on Har-Har, relax," Rose said.
"Yeah, we're trying to find Areily remember?" Violet said. Harley took a deep breath, and turned to the rest of the hosts.
"Please, find a tree then you'll find Areily," she said politely.
"We need to split up!" Tamaki said.
"I'm going with Shay, okay, Takashi," Honey said as he linked arms with the pink haired girl. They agreed to meet again in twenty minutes at the entrance. With that everyone split up in search of Areily. Haruhi went with Harley. The twins went with their brother/sister. Tamaki dragged along Kyoya. Shay and Honey went together, and Mori went by himself.
Takashi walked through the airport, keeping an eye out for a tree. He scanned the crowd, using his height to his advantage. Something caught his eye. It was a pillar. The pillar had a painting of a beautiful cherry blossom tree. Hugging the pillar was a tall weeping teenaged girl. She had long light blue hair that went past her hips, dark blue eyes that were framed by large tears. She wore a white tee shirt with blue strips, a white leather belt, a white ruffled skirt, white leggings, and light blue converse.
"Hug a tree, and Harley will come and find me. Hug a tree, and Harley will come and find me." She chanted. Takashi approached the weeping girl, and patted her on the shoulder. She turned around to face Takashi, and yelped in surprise.
"Are you Areily?" he asked. Areily nodded.
"Harley's looking for you," Takashi said.
"Where is she?" He could hardly hear her because her voice was so soft. He didn't respond but instead lifted her up bridal style. Areily gasped, but blushed, and didn't struggled. Despite her height, she has extremely light to Takashi. He began to walk to the entrance.
"What's your name?" she asked him.
"Takashi," he said.
"Takashi, thank you for taking me to my Harley," she said. Then she leaned in and kissed his cheek. A light pink blush began to bloom on Takashi's cheeks. Without thinking, Takashi brushed the tears from Areily's eyes with thumb. Then they arrived to the entrance. The host club and other girls were all waiting for him.
"I found her," he said to get the other's attention.
"Areily!" Harley said ran to the two.
"Harls!" Areily jumped, out of Takashi's arms, and hugged Harley, around her waist. The girls embraced.
"Oh, I so sorry, mermaid! Next time you're taking the same flight as me." Harley apologized.
"It's okay, Harls, Takashi found me," Areily whisper meekly. Everyone had to strain their ears to hear the blue haired girl.
"Thank you Mori-senpai," Harley told Takashi.
"Who's Mori," Areily asked.
"My nickname," Takashi said.
"Oh."
"Where did you find her?" Harley asked Takashi.
"She was hugging a pillar that had a painting of a tree," Takashi said the longest sentence that anyone has ever heard him say.
"HA!" Harley turned to Kyoya, smugly. "There are trees in the airport!"
"It's a painted tree," Kyoya corrected her.
"Still, it's a tree," she stubbornly stated. Shay and Areily yawned.
"I think it's time to home," Haruhi said. Everyone agreed, and left the airport. The boys and Haruhi took the limo back home. The girls had decline the boys' offer to ride in the limo, but instead took a taxi. While Shay, Violet, and rose took the taxi, Areily rode with Harley on her motorcycle.
The five girls had finally gotten to their flat. Harley unlocked the door, and everyone entered. The flat was small, period. There was a studio kitchenette, with light green cabinets, gray oven/stove, gray microwave, sink, and gray fridge. A white wooden table with four matching chairs was next to the kitchenette. A tiny green couch was in the small connecting living room, with a mini white coffee table, and a small gray TV sitting on a shelf across the couch. Behind the kitchenette/living room area where two white wooden twins beds with green sheets, pillows, and comforters. Two white wooden dressers, each with four drawers, stood on the other sides of the beds. A white bedside cabinet stood beside the dresser on the left. A paper wall divided a section of the wall where the bathroom must be. The floors were green carpet and the walls were green with white strips.
"It's too green," Violet started, hands at her hips.
"And white," Rose finished, her hand also at her hips.
"I didn't choose the furniture or décor," Harley said, placing the other's girls' suitcases on the ground. "It came furnished."
"Why are there only four chairs in the kitchen?" Shay asked.
" 'Cause we're planning on putting you into a high chair, midget," Violet responded. Shay frowned, and gave Violet a sharp kick in the shin while Rose laughed.
"Harls, can we please push the beds together, so we can sleep like sisters?" Areily asked the older girl.
"Of course, mermaid," Harley smiled, and went to the two beds to change their position as requested. Areily quickly moved to help the brunette.
"Yo, Harley, where do we put our clothes?" Rose asked as she unzipped her scarlet suitcase.
"You and Vi can share a dresser, mermaid and I will share the other, and Shay can have the bedside cabinet since her clothes are the smallest," she grunted as she pushed the two beds together with Areily. The other girls nodded. After Harley and Areily were done, all five girls unpacked their suitcases for about. Violet, Areily, Rose, and Shay fell on the green couch after thirty minutes. Harley went to the kitchenette to prepare dinner.
"Hungry!" both Violet and Rose demanded. Harley shot them a death glare. The twins sunk back into their seats.
"Please," they added meekly. Harley smiled, and nodded. She pulled out ingredients form the fridge that she had bought before going to school, and began to cook.
"Do you need any help?" Areily asked politely.
"Nah, just relax guys. You all probably have jet lag," Harley said. She threw the remote of the small TV to Shay who caught it. The pink haired girl flicked on the TV, and the four watched Japanese game shows.
"Dinner," Harley called out half and hour later. The other went and sat at the table, but Shay had to sit on Areily's lap.
"Harley. How's our new school?" Shay asked during the meals.
"Oh great actually! The classes are prefect, but the uniforms are the only let down," Harley said.
"Why?" Violet and Rose asked.
"The boys' uniforms are okay, it just that the girl uniforms that look like yellow creampuffs."
"What!" The twins both gasped.
"We're not going to," Rose started.
"Wear them, are we?" Violet finished.
"Nah, but what ever you wear has to appropriate and blue, yellow, and black." The twins sighed in relief.
"How are we going to get to school?" Shay asked with her mouth full.
"We'll wake up early, find a rental car place, and rent the cheapest one." Their questions seemed to end now, and they continued eating. Once they were done Harley forced Violet and Rose clean the dishes. The girls change into their pajamas. Violet and Rose shared the right side of the bed while Harley and Areily shared the other, and Shay snuggled in the middle, wrapping her arms around the twins.
Somewhere close by, in a limo, sat the third Ootori son. He had dropped off his other friends already and was on his way home. It was amazing that no one noticed the black messenger bag, which belonged to a certain brunette, on the floor. In his mind he needed the bag. The student file of the feisty girl he had met today did no just for her. She was much more interesting than he had earlier presumed. She was the only person that he'd met that had stood up to him, and engaged herself in his battle of sarcasm and sharp tongues. He couldn't figure her out, and he hated that.
The limo had stopped in front of the entrance of the Ootori estate. Kyoya got up, slug the black messenger bag on his shoulder, and exited the limo. 'This bag must have a few answers at the very most,' he thought.
Hi! Hope you like this chapter and review!
*Important: Harley has nicknames for all her friends, like mermaid for Areily, Vi for Violet, Ro for Rose, and Pinkie for Shay. Other thing about Harley is that she has a connected past with Areily which is why their care about each other so much, but I don't want to spoil it. And Harley can be dark and evil one second and then can act stupid the next. That's just how she is.
