Haruhi's Beloved Twin Sister (Ouran OHSHC)

10-Karuizawa

Hiromi's POV

I was packing out laundry baskets with Haruhi to hang on the clothesline. It had been a very busy day of preparing the bed and breakfast. I noticed Kyoya sitting at a cafe table.

All the other guys must be off somewhere else competing. All of the hosts were competing to earn the last available room.

I held the basket against my hip with my right hand, using my left to open the sliding door. I let Haruhi he'd outside first. She went past me and waited on the porch as I came out.

I looked around at everyone being outside, besides Kyoya. I noticed Mori chopping wood, shirtless. Then I looked over to Tamaki to see him doing a terrible job "fixing" a fence. Tamaki is just making it look worse in my opinion. Honey was watching him while munching on the cake. Wasn't he competing?

I turned and saw the Hitachiin's further down on the porch. I watched as they played with the water hose. Haruhi said, "Hiro, come on."

I nodded and walked down the steps with her. I felt like something was off. While clutching the back of her clothes with my left hand I kept an eye on the red-haired boys. After a moment, they narrowly avoided being hit by a flowerpot. Then they went to their brotherly love act.

I heard, "Refresher points!" More points to them? They'll probably get it...

Soon enough, I figured out that it was in fact the Hitachiin's who got to stay in the room.

The next day Ari came into the bed and breakfast. He was packing a box of food. He said, "Haruhi... Hiromi?"

Haruhi paused looking at him, "Ah, hey Arai."

I nodded, "It's been a while." I could feel eyes on me and looked over to see Tamaki and the Hitachiin's.

Arai nervously asked, "So are these your friends?"

Haruhi turned to them, "Oh yeah, this is Hikaru and Kaoru, they're in my class. And this is my sen-" she cut herself off. I noticed Tamaki had a broad grin. She paused looking at the group of us. "An acquaintance of mine." Tamaki sank as it sounded as if a piano's keys sank.

Soon enough, Haruhi, Arai and I sat at a table. I could hear the other hosts talking. We began talking amongst ourselves about middle school.

Arai commented, "It's still amazing you both made it into Ouran."

I nodded, "Yeah, just wish I was a bit smarter."

Haruhi responded, "Hiro, you are smart."

I smiled, "I said smarter. Wiser than I am now."

Hikaru raised his cup clinking the ice inside it, "Hey, Haruhi! Don't you think you should be working? You shouldn't be slacking off."

She told him that we'd already gotten permission. We kept on chatting among ourselves. Suddenly Hikaru boisterously said, "I'm just saying it's obvious this guy has a thing for Haruhi. It's sickening to watch him try and flirt. Urgh-" Is he jealous?

Haruhi stood up suddenly in anger, "Hikaru, what's wrong with you? Quit acting like such a jerk!"

Arai held up his hands in defense, "Hey, it's no big deal. He's right, I did have a thing for you once." Now everyone's eyes were on him. "But who cares, you already turned me down. Right?"

Most people said "huh" including Haruhi. I said, "Oh yeah, that..."

Kyoya pondered, "Why do you look so surprised?" He pointed to Haruhi.
