The Commoner Athlete

A day in the life of the Fujioka family

"Yoo hooo Akari, Isamu. Hello there darlings, imagine seeing you two here."

Ranka's face suddenly appeared between our shoulders, well my shoulder and Isamu bicep, his beaming smile was directed at me as we kept walking down the streets of our neighbourhood.

"Hi Mr Fujioka, we were just on our way to see Haruhi."

"Oh I see, I guess you haven't been able to hang out as much since she enrolled into Ouran, well I'm sure she'll be glad to see you both so let's be on our way."

As we approached their block complex, Isamu perked up spying something over the loose crowd that's gathered. "What's up? Do you see something?"

"A group of rich kids are at the bottom of the stairs. And I'm pretty sure I can see Haninozuka and Morinozuka." He squints his eyes to see if he can make out their features.

Ranka just keeps skipping along as he passes through the crowd and up the stairs, clearly too excited to see Haruhi that he didn't notice the attractive young men, Isamu and I follow through the crowd but come to a stop as I spot Morinozukas stoic face. "You were right, it is them."

The group turns to us as I speak and the confusion on the cousins faces causes me to slightly step behind Isamus tall frame. "Were you talking about us?" A boy in glasses leans forward to address me even though I think it's pretty clear I didn't want the attention.

"AAAHHHHHH!"

Suddenly, the group looks up at Haruhi's door and sweatdrops at the terrifying noise that came from within but quickly looks away and carries on as if it never happened and Haninozuka comes bounding up to us with a radiant smile. "I feel like I've seen you before but I can't put my finger on it, have we met before?"

Isamu side eyes me for a few long seconds before sighing, "not really, sorry."

"Oh, okay then." He looks a bit disheartened at the answer and there's soon an awkward atmosphere around us all.

"We're gonna check on the boss." The two gingers start up the stairs as we all watch before following shortly after and stopping behind them at the front door.

Ginger number 1 looks around the door first with his hand on the frame. "Hey boss, what in the world is taking you so long?" Ginger number 2 comes around the other side of him. "Woah check it out. The person that passed us downstairs was Haruhi's father."

A cry for help comes from inside as the twins go in and we all gather around the still open front door to see them walking on a snivelling blonde while greeting Ranka.

"It's nice to meet you Haruhi's dad. We're good friends of your daughters, the Hitachiin brothers."

The one with his hair parted on the right side spoke rather loudly, "so you're a transvestite aren't you?"

The other spoke up next, "You're the first transvestite we've ever seen!"

"You finally put the moves on Haruhi, huh boss?" they spoke in tandem as they continued to walk over the blonde.

"What? That guy has a crush on Haruhi? I hope he's not bothering her." I whisper to Isamu though glasses looks over to me too.

"Yeah but look at him, I think we can sort it out if she wants us too."

"True, he doesn't look that strong, definitely not at the moment anyway."

"Sorry about him, he's a ladies man if you know what I mean."

"He's a pheromone machine, in fact I'll bet he's fooled around with more ladies than you can count!"

The annoyance on Rankas face is dangerously visible. "He likes to fool around huh?"
