Kasumi
"...um, what are you doing?"
Ten seconds. I've been in here ten seconds and they've already awed me of their idiocy.
~10 seconds ago~
I opened the door to the Host Club, hoping that I wouldn't find myself in the middle of a great desert setting with heaps of sand dunes or surrounded by the guys-and maybe Haruhi-dressed up in Egyptian garbs. Instead, I found myself staring at a big sign. Kim was already standing next to Kaoru. I had to do a double take on that because she has not done that before! I turned my attention to the most disturbing sight that caught my attention first.
-The Great Strategic Plan to Hide Haruhi's Gender! We call this operation "Haruhi is absolutely a guy!–Start!"-
The Host Club was lined up next to the sign, listening intently to Tamaki as he spoke, tapping a marker against the board.
"Well then, fellow team members," he said in a commanding voice, "Please reconfirm your position in formation A for tomorrow's physical examination."
Honey looked up in amazement at Tamaki and clapped his hands. The twins saluted and said, "Yes sir!"
~10-seconds-flash-back: DONE~
"...um, what are you doing?"
"Oh!" said Kyoya. "Kasumi, why don't you join us?"
I eyed each member cautiously, never looking away even as I put my bag down on the table. "So? What's this all about?"
"We've gotta keep Haruhi's secret safe, Kasu-chan!" said Honey, looking up at me with those big puppy-eyes.
"If they find out she's a girl," began the twins.
"HARUHI WON'T BE ABLE TO STAY IN THE HOST CLUB!" cried Tamaki.
"Ah," said Haruhi suddenly, "I get it. If I can't stay in the Host Club, I won't be able to pay off my debt!" She laughed a little nervously. "Oh well! If they find out, it's no big deal!"
The Host Club stared at her in horror.
As Haruhi laughed, Hikaru said depressingly, "What a way to kill our motivation..."
"You know," I said, "I heard there's a real easy job about four blocks from here. The pay isn't too bad, but all you have to do is stack books and price sale items—"
"SHHHH!" hissed the twins, clamping their hands over my mouth. "DON'T LET HER HEAR YOU!"
Haruhi turned around, confused. "Sorry, what?"
"She said-" Kaoru clamped his hand over her mouth, "shhh, Kim-chan!" (blink, blink)
"Nothing!" the twins said, waving their free hands around. Haruhi shrugged and didn't say anything. We bit down on their hands.
"YOWCH!" shouted Hikaru.
"AAHHH!" exclaimed Kaoru.
I spit into the rubbish can, wiping my mouth. "Don't do that again," I snapped, glaring. They whimpered, scared of me, and nodded. Kim apologized, but only to Kaoru though. "So?" I said, looking at Kyoya. "What's the plan?"
