More Bloody Gingers? (OHSHC fan-fic)

And the Truth Comes Out!

Yuuki's POV

Ever since the photo shoot a few days ago I've been addicted to Steampunk. I kind of know how Sakura feels about lolita. I'd been working on my own Steampunk designs, so naturally I changed into them right after school for the Host Club meeting Tamaki had called. It was probably about some stupid thing like the Valentines preparations.

We were all sat on the couches, the boys and Haruhi in their school uniforms, me in a black Gothic lolita skirt I'd stolen from Sakura (the only Gothic Lolita she owned) and a silver corset and white blouse. Sakura had some weird sweet lolita skirt, and a bow-adorned blouse.

My haircut had gone over well with the Host Club, all except for Tamaki. He'd given me a big rant about how ladies were supposed to have long hair and always dress in an appropriate fashion. Needless to say, Sakura was his new favourite.

"You may have wondered why I called you here," Tamaki said standing up and waving his hands around while he talked. He did that a lot. "It has come to my attention that there has been some strange occurrences in the Host Club." This was accompanied by a pointed look at Kyoya.

With a sigh Kyoya stood up. "Sakura, I need to instruct you on the cookies we will need for the up-coming events. Come out to the hall with me, please." he said in a business like tone.

Sakura looked at me confused, and then followed Kyoya out into the hall.

"And now onto Valentine's Day preparations!" Tamaki said excited. "We're going to rent a high-end restaurant and have a 'Host-Club-Only Couples Feista!" This must of been something Tamaki had come with himself, because even Mori looked nervous.

"I've already picked most of the couples. Honey-senpai will be going with Mori-senpai, I will be going with Haruhi, and Yuuki will be going with-" said Tamaki as Hikaru went up to him and whispered something into his ear. " Yuuki will be going with Hikaru, and Karou-" Tamaki was cut off once again.

"I have something going on that night, sorry..." Karou trailed off.

" What! Why didn't you tell me? " an aggravated Hikaru said.

"I'll explain later," he said back to shut his brother up.

"Anyway..." said Tamaki, trying to get everyone's attention back " Sakura will be going with Kyoya."

"Oh, hell no!" I said shooting up from my seat, ready to murder Tamaki.

"No, daughter dearest let me explain..."

Sakura's POV

Let me tell you, being out in the hallway with a guy you once had a thing for but turned out to be a total jerk is not fun. In fact, if you looked up awkward in a dictionary, there would be a picture of Kyoya and I in the hallway at this exact moment.

"Well, what do you want?" I said; I just wanted to get this done and over with.

"I want to explain what happened at the ball." he said, frowning slightly.

"Oh, so you want to explain how you were just using me and how you've been a complete jerk ever since?" I shot back. No way could he explain his way out of this.

"That was all a misunderstanding" he said back.

"Really? You're gonna go with that? Out of all the lies you could tell, that's the one you pick?" I replied, pissed.

"I don't have time for you to make me out to be the bad guy. Just let me explain, please?" Kyoya pleaded.

"Tch" I said "Give it your best shot."

"Well," started Kyoya "I'm not going to pretend that I never said that I was using you for my personal gain, however it was a lie. I told this lie to my father, who had shown up at the ball to scold me for 'wasting my time with a lady'. To my father falling in love is a waste of time unless there is something financial to gain, hence how I lied and said that I was only using you. This is also the reason I had a meeting with my father recently to try to convince him to allow me to spend time with you, without him expecting financial gain."

"Then why didn't you tell me this earlier?" I said, not buying any of his bull.

"I wanted to clear it up with my father first," he said, sounding genuine.

"What do you expect me to do now? Pretend that it never happened and go back to trusting you? Because I don't know if I can."

"I don't expect you to trust me right away, but I'm hoping that we can still have a relationship" he replied.

"Well I guess I can try. but first" I said, making this more fun "You have to forgive Yuuki for killing your laptop, and erase her debt, and you have to erase half the debt Haruhi has left. Deal?"

"That was very cold of you, but deal." He agreed, half-joking.

"Ok, so... about those cookies... "I said

"You don't have to make them if you don't want to," he said, looking slightly panicked.

"Well I mean, I do like baking, so I'll do it for Honey-senpai's sake. I don't think he could handle store- bought cookies anymore." I said, smiling for the first time since this conversation had begun.

"Oh, and I should probably warn you, Tamaki is planning some silly Couples day for Valentines day..."
