Long Lost and Newly Found (OHSHC)

Chapter Three: Chihaya ♡

Chihaya ♡

As I munched on the cake, I swung my feet and watched as my cousin pointed the guys out. The twin that had helped me with my hair was Hikaru Hitachiin, and his brother was Kaoru. I noticed little differences, but I still found it hard to tell them apart. The brown haired boy was Haruhi Fujioka, a commoner that was paying off a debt by working with the guys. Tama-chan said something else too, but I only heard something about keeping it a secret. Apparently Tama-chan and Kyo-chan were in charge of a host club of some sort. I stopped listening after he introduced everyone.

"This cake is so yummy!~" I grinned. Chocolate is my favourite. I finished the cake and set the fork down, feeling satisfied. While I had been tuning my cousin out, they had opened the doors and welcomed in a huge group of girls. I hopped up and made my way to Tamaki, but couldn't get to him. So I went to Kyo-chan. "Kyo-chan! Who are all these people?" I tugged on his jacket.

He looked down and smiled tightly. "Chihaya." He whipped out a handkerchief and bent down so he was my height. "They're our customers. Be nice, okay?" He wiped my face off, and I closed one eye.

"Kyo-chan! This is embarrassing!" I pouted, and then I heard squealing. I glanced around and saw a few girls surrounding us. They had their hands clasped under their chins and they looked so.... weird.

Kyo-chan grabbed my chin and moved my face back towards him. "Then eat less sloppy." He finished cleaning my face and tucked the kercheif into his pocket. I pouted up at him as he stood and patted my head.

I wrinkled my nose and huffed. "I'll try." I spun on the ball of my foot and skipped to Haru-kun, who was also entertaining a group of girls. I sat at a nearby table and folded my arms on top, laying my head down. I swung my feet again, not able to touch the floor.

I watched the boys around me entertain the girls for a few minutes before I got bored and got up again. I wandered over to Tama-chan and hung myself over the back of the couch he sat in. "Tama-chan! I'm tired!" I rubbed my eyes sleepily, barely holding back a yawn. The girls all stared at me, saying things like "too cute!" and "awww!" and such.

"Chi-chan! I'm sorry. I forgot you haven't even gone home yet." I nodded and went around the couch, setting myself on his lap. "Just wait awhile longer, all right? Club hours are almost over."

"Mm." I snuggled into his chest and listened to him as he told a loose version of my story to his customers. Pretty much the fact that I had had an accident while we were playing and just recently woke up. The girls "aww"ed and I cringed a little. Its not like I didn't like the attention, I did, but a lot of the attention I was getting was pity. I fell asleep soon after and when I woke up we were in the limo again. "Tama-chan?" I blinked at him.

"Ah, Chi-chan! You woke up! We're on our way home now, so just rest. Tomorrow is going to be a big day." He smiled and petted my hair.

~the next day~

I followed close behind Tamaki as he led me to my class, keeping my head down. I was nervous, starting school so suddenly. I was wearing the girl's uniform for Ouran, and I found it slightly uncomfortable.

"Here we are, class 1-A." Tama-chan smiled back at me as he opened the door. "Haruhi and the twins are in this class, so you should be alright." He patted my head and gently pushed me inside. "I'll see you for lunch, okay?"

"Ah, okay." I took one last look at my cousin before walking to the teacher, who stood in front of the class.

"Ah, you must be he new transfer student! Please introduce yourself to the class!" The man smiled and gestured for me to do as he said.
