(A/N: Sorry my chapters are so short. :d I know what I want to write but I always get pre-occupied and just post a small chapter to tide people over. Well, cheers! Review and all that. ;D)
Chapter 4
Walking into the air conditioned building I grab a basket at the door and follow Haruhi down and isle. He looks at the coffee and I turn my back to him to look at the various tea's. They had way more here then back in any super market in England if that was even possible. Picking up a few boxes of fruit flavored tea's I dump them in my basket. Turning to Haruhi I notice that he has his arms full of different kinds of coffee and chuckle. "Do you want to put your things in my basket?" I ask. He peeks over his pile and gives me a "No thanks." but right after almost trips and drops the load in his arms. I set my basket down beside him and say, "Hold on.", running back to the front of the store. Grabbing him a basket of his own because he was to stubborn to use mine, I head back over to him. As I walk up behind him to hand him the basket he gives me a charming smile with a soft, "Thank you." Nodding my head I reply, "Your welcome." and bend down to help him pick up his things. As he stands up his wallet falls out of his pocket and lays open on the floor. I look down at it and pick it up but couldn't help ''accidentaly' reading his middle school id. "Haruhi..."
"Huh?" He asks as I hand him his wallet back.
"...Your a girl?"
"Yeah." SHE says nonchalantly. I nod indifferently at her and we continue with our shopping. This was kind of a surprise but then again it wasn't. I mean the whole time I thought Haruhi was pretty girlie for a boy so Im more relieved than not to know that "he's" actually a "she". I guess that's why I wasn't attracted to him when we met. Thank god for that woman sense thing that us females have or this could of been disastrously awkward.
"Well it didn't take you as long as the rest of the Host Club to find out." She says, coming up beside me to look at the instant noodles. I laugh and say, "Well, I don't think I would of figured it out unless I'd seen your id. It's a relief to know your a girl though I was thinking that you were just a really feminine boy."
She chuckles but goes a bit serious. "Could you not tell anyone though? I've kind of got a debt to pay back to the host club." I nod and smile. "Yeah, I can do that but is that why your working in the host club? To pay back a debt?"
She slumps her shoulders and groans. "Yes...I broke a 800,000 yen vase and now I'm being forced to work there to pay it off." I practically run into a display case of pocky as I look at her.
"800,000? That's un-godly!" I practically scream. She groans again and mumbles, "I know...stupid rich bastards." At this I kind of feel her pain but then again it lightens my heart to know that I'm not the only "commoner".
Grabbing a bag of rice and throwing it in my basket the two of us head to the register in comfortable silence. A display case catches my attention though and I drift over to it with a giant grin on my face. "Sea Monkey's!" I say excitedly. Haruhi raises an eyebrow as she sets her things down to be rung up. Picking one of the boxes up I examine it and decide that it'd be nice to have a sort of pet. And I'm sure if I brought them with me Atticus wouldn't mind too much seeing as their defiantly smaller then a dog or a cat.
Paying the cashier Haruhi waits for me to dig my money out of my pants pocket and pay the cashier as well. The girl behind the register sighs dreamily looking at Haruhi and then looks at me with a sort of glare. "Lucky." I hear her mumble under her breath. I snort and stop myself from laughing as I pick up my bags and follow Haruhi out of the store.
When we arrived back at the Host Club it was a mad house. To me anyways. Girls sat around on couches everywhere giggling madly at what some of the host members said and others fainting at certain things done. Like the twins off in the corner doing an incest act for their group of girls. I deadpan and let one of my hands slide down my face. Haruhi glances at me and gives me a "Told you so" look.
As soon as Tamaki caught the sight of us he squealed in delight and caught the two of us in a bone crushing hug. "Oh! Thank goodness your back! Daddy was so worried something bad had happened!" He yelled, twirling the two of us around. Feeling myself getting sick I reach out a hand to grab onto to something with to stop us and yell out, "Help!"
The next second I'm slung through someones arm, gazing at the ground in relief. Being set on my feet I let out a relieved sigh. "Thanks." I say looking at my savior. He was at least a half foot taller then myself and had striking dark eyes as well as short ruffled black hair. He looked so indifferent to everything as he set Haruhi on her feet as well.
Looking at me he nodded his head and replied with a short. "Ah."
Turning back to Tamaki I put my hands on my hips and gave him an equally emotionless expression as the dark headed guy had. He ran at me with tears in his eyes and his hands out stretched, yelling, "Oh Kismet! I'm so sorry! Please forgive daddy!" Stepping out of his path of destruction, he flys over a couch and lands face first on the floor, skidding a few feet as well. The twins look over at our little "scene" and laugh hysterically, pointing their fingers at the distressed king.
Ignoring the cackling twins and the sulking blond idiot I bend over and pick up my scattered groceries. A shadow grows over me as the tall guy bends down beside me and helps me pick my things up.
"Takashi!" A small blond with the biggest brown eyes besides Haruhi's prances over, clutching a pink rabbit. I raise an eyebrow at him as he squits down beside me and "Takashi". "Hiya!" He says to me tilting his head and smiling. I smile back and say hi.
"Im Mitsukuni Haninozuka but everyone calls me Hunny and this is Takashi Morinozuka but everyone calls him Mori." Hunny says as I pick up the rest of my groceries. Standing up all together Mori hands me my bags. "Thanks." I say. "I'm Kismet Maddock."
By this point in time Tamaki had gotten out of his slump and had made his way over to our little group. Taking the sea monkey box out of my hands he inspected it with child like curiosity. "Is this commoner food?" He asks in awe.
Shake my head no, I chuckle. "No, their sea monkeys. You pour water in this little tank and then pour the eggs in there. After about a day or two the eggs hatch and you have sea monkeys." His eyes shimmer with excitement as he looks at the little cartoon sea monkeys on the box. By this point most of the host club were gathered around us, holding on to my every word. "Kiss-chan, Kiss-chan can we make sea monkeys?'' Honey asks hanging on to my hand. How old was this kid?
I raise my eye brows as I look at the hopeful crowd. Shrugging, I smile. "Sure, why not?" They applaude loudly and follow as Tamaki pushes me over to a table to demonstrate this magically birth of sea monkeys. The twins grab my bags and set them on a couch.
Opening the box I lay all the things on the table, smacking each of the twins hands as they try to touch the packets of food and eggs. Tamaki excitedly goes and puts water in the little plastic tank and nearly trips when he brings it back. Ripping open the packet of eggs I pour them in the water and everyone goes, "Ohhh."
Putting the lid on it I walk over to the window and set it by the ledge. "Now we just wait for the eggs to hatch and then you can feed them." I say shrugging. Everyone gpes and stares at the tank with eager eyes. "They probably won't be hatched until tomorrow though." I add. This causes the crowd to go 'Awwwww" in perfect unison.
To say that my first day at Ouran was a bit odd was an understatement. I had a feeling though that ever day was going to be like this one, crazy and bizarre.
