Glassy Sky

[ t e n ]

The Ouran Host Club and I were on our way to Mayuri's house. When we arrived there, I quickly admired her home. The house is a two-story condo and there was a grey tiled pathway to the front door. Tamaki rang the doorbell as I examined the house. There was a flat roof at top with a glass fencing that had a Jacuzzi on top with some plants and the second story was painted white and smooth with a patio in back with a pergola that was painted white and smooth. The backyard was lined with white tiles except for a rounded section that had evenly trimmed and shaded grass and in the back were black and white sofas with a pool as well. The first floor exterior was made entirely of tinted glass and was see-through.

"Why isn't she responding?" Tamaki grumbled, bringing me back to reality. How many times has rang the doorbell already?

"Probably because she's not home," I shrugged. "She might be at work, you know. Not everyone sits around all day like you, Senpai. Maybe we should check at the bakery to see if she's working."

"Good idea," Mori nodded.

As we turned around, I was greeted with a jet of water to my face. My eye stung as needles of a water sprayed in my face, I covered my eyes to protect my contacts, coughing and choking on water. The water stopped coming onto my face and I look up. I see Kaori with a green hose, still dripping with water.

"You are not welcome here!" She shouted, preparing to spray the hose again. "What you did...was unforgivable! Leave at once before I spray you again and call the cops!"

I was confused.Haven't Kaori seen us before? We aren't Mayuri's enemies! "What?" I asked. "Wait!" I held my hands up my hands in surrender. "We're Mayuri's friends."

"Huh?" Kaori put down the hose and squinted, examining us. She gasped, dropping the hose. "I'm so sorry!" She bowed her head. "You are Mayuri's friends I met a while back! You must be visiting her by surprise! I'll go and tell her she has guests!"

*~*~*~*~*~

"What?" I asked, getting up from my study desk, my silver angel wing earrings bouncing with my movements. "I have guests?"

"Yes," Kaori nodded. "It was a surprise visit. They've been ringing the door for for a while. I...uh...maybe you should step out and see."

I dashed to the front door and opened it. There was the Host Club at the front door, with Haruhi dripping water. "I'm SO sorry!" I gasped. "Come in! Come in! Kaori, can you take Haruhi to the laundry room so he can get his clothes dried?"

As soon as Kaori escorted escorted Haruhi to the laundry room, I remembered that he's going to need towels to dry himself off. I dashed upstairs where we keep the spare bedding and grabbed a stack of towels and took them to the laundry room. Tamaki noticed me. ""Wait, Mayuri I can--" He started.

"I got it!" I yelled. Once I reached the laundry room and quickly knocked, announcing my presence and twisted door knob open. "Haruhi, I got some towels--" I open the laundry door and see Haruhi topless. His back was facing me and turned around and froze at the sight of me. I froze, dropping the towels as well. Haruhi was wearing a bra. Wait, why is Haruhi wearing a bra if he's a...guy? "W-W-Why...w-what..." I stuttered, a blush creeping up to my face as I eyed his(her?) body.

Haruhi quickly took his(her) shirt from dryer and threw it on and grabbed the towels I had dropped and used them to dry his(her?) head. The Host Club opened the door, causing me to stumble at the sudden noise. "So, you now know the Host Club's big secret," Kyoya sighed as he pushed up his glasses. "Haruhi...is girl. Due to unusual circumstances she got herself into with this club, she was forced to crossdress and work with us."

"I-I didn't mean....I was bringing Haruhi towels--" I stammered.

"Senpai, lay off," Haruhi added. "It was an accident."

"I swear I won't tell anyone about this!" I promised. "Besides, I have experience to having rumors being spread about me," I added quietly.

"Huh? You said something?" Haruhi asked.

"N-Nothing!" I stammered. "Anyways, why did you come here?"

"Oh, about that," The twins remembered.

"The Host Club is planning a trip for the winter break, up in the mountains," Tamaki explained.

"We just wanted to see if you wanted to come along," Haruhi invited. "We had a trip to the beach earlier this year but since we didn't really know you that well we didn't invite you."

"Oh...um..." I was still blushing from what happened earlier. "Oh course, I'd love to go!"

"That's great!" Honey grinned.

"We're meeting on Monday once break starts," Kyoya informed. "Don't be late, as we're leaving by bus up the mountains."

"G-Great!" I smiled awkwardly. "I'll write it down so I remember!"

"Okay," Haruhi smiled as the Host Club stood up and prepared to leave. "The Host will see you then!"
