"Even if i'm not able to do it someday, somewhere, someone will show up who may be able to tell you apart. Still this much is certain, if you three stay in your own little worlds, you will never run into the person who can tell you apart. So instead, why don't we open the doors of the host club together? Let's try to expand your world together! Our first meeting will be after the opening ceremony after school. We will be having it at the music room #3." After tamaki walked away, i will admit, just a little bit, i was impressed by him.

"I'm going to hang out with somebody else this year." I said to hikaru and kaoru when i spotted a familliar girl who i saved. I ran to her and pocked her in the head.

"My name is kouru hitachiin,what is yours?" i asked 

"My name is akanekou kouku and nice to meet you! " She said grinning.

It was the next day and as i wasn't hanging out with my brothers for the year, i decided to walk to school for the first time ever. Of course my brothers and mother being worried became mother-hens and i had to run away and hide to stop them from stalking me. Although when i hid in the bush i was surprised to see akanekou.

"Yo!" I said popping up in front of her and chuckled at her scared face.

"Why did you scare me like that idiot!" She shouted punching me on the head

"Habit!" i grinned feeling happy for some reason.

"Well you almost scared me to death kou!" She replied.

"Kou?" I questioned confused at how she addressed me.

"Well my name is akanekou and your name is kouru so we practically have the same name!" She beamed." So we can call each other kou!" She smiled. I grasped my chin and started thinking.

"Now that i think about, that is true kou." I muttered my face thoughtful.

"Well that's a relief!" She sighed." I thought you'd hate it or something."

"Why would i?" I asked generally curious. "Y-you don't have to answer that!" I shouted waving my arms about when i saw her down expression.

"No you should know, it's just that  i used to get bullied for being weird and a dense idiot." She then started laughing."That's why i have no friends, and i probably deserve it anyway-" 

"They were right, for one thing you clearly are an idiot." I said cutting her off. I grabbed her hand and started running to the direction of the school. "You are dense but nobody as rude and cruel as they are deserve being bullied." I stopped and faced her. " Especially nobody as nice and selfless as you are. Even though i barley knew you for an hour, i could tell instantly so ignore the people who leave your life and pay attention to those who stay!" I said running again. I felt her hand tremble and her stop.

"Nobody" She said her eyes a bit watery" ever told me something like that before." She then smiled a grateful smile. I made sure in that moment to remember that feeling in my heart."So thank you!" She said grabbing my big hand with her tiny ones."And don't pull me around like that idiot-kou!" She shouted hitting me with her bag.

"OW!? WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" i shouted my eyebrow twitching. She held up her bag and i ran for it. "Forget what i said you're crazy as well!" I shouted running to school with her chasing me. I heard laughter behind me and smiled. I turned around to mock her when i was suddenly faced with the floor. I heard someone gasping for air and saw kou laughing so much. "Don't laugh!" I whined " My back hurts!"

"That's what happens when you don't look where your going!" She said grinning."And they call me an idiot." She held out a hand and helped me out." Let's go or we'll be late to school!" She grinned. We then had to run to school because we only had a few minutes left. I bid her goodbye when we got their and went to my class. BBBRRRIIINNNNGG. The bells went.

"Safe!" I muttered breathing heavily. I only just arrived, i sat down at my desk as it was hikaru and kaouru's turn to sit next to each other this time.

"Psst why are you so late?" Hikaru whispered to me.

"I was walking with someone and we lost track of time." I replied and answered when our teacher called my name. Frankly, as i finished school, when i died, i already know all this stuff so i don't actually listen to what the teachers say. When it was finally break, i went to go find kou. I saw a big crowd of people and saw kou in the middle so i pushed my-self through.

"Your so ugly, you should be mummified!" A kid said insulting kou. Of course my best friend being bullied enraged me so i stood between them.

"What the hell are you doing you bastard?" I said my face angry.

"Oh we're just showing little miss perfect what level she's in." The guy replied." You can have my turn if you want?" He smiled at me.

"Turn my a**" I growled enraged" You wanna have a fight?!" I brought up my fist" If not then you'd better scram" He started backing away." NOW!" He and his friends ran for the hills and i turned back to kou, face calm.

"You didn't have to do that, i could have handed it fine!" Kou said

"Didn't look fine to me." I said"Why bother defending them, your better then that kou." I grabbed her hand and went to the back of the school." For now on, we will meet here." She nodded but didn't speak. I sighed and hugged her encasing her with my body. "I'm not angry at you and i'm sure those guys won't be bothering you anymore, so cheer up!" I smiled inhaling her honey and lavender scent. 

"You know" She said looking up at me" Life's greatest goal is to find a true friend." She then smiled and made me blush."I honestly think that's you!" Even though i should feel happy, a bit of me felt sad for some reason.

"And your mine so don't feel sad." I said letting her go."There's an amusement park that's opening tomorrow and today is friday so" I blushed " Do you want to go with me?" I asked.

"Sure." She replied "Let's swap numbers and i'll give you my address." She said. I brought out my phone and we gave each other our phone numbers. I then heard the bell go.

"Gotta go, see you later!" She said and ran off. I instinctively  brought my hand up to try and grab her when she ran off. 

"I have a feeling." I muttered " That if i ever let her go i'll regret it for the rest of my life."
