Welcome To Ouran Academy

Chapter 3: Kyoya's Plan?

Inside the envelope was an invitation to join Tamaki for a private dinner at a restaurant. I squealed at the sight of the invite.  
 
"He's asking me out on a date!" I said, empathizing. "So soon. No no, this can't be real."
 
Tamaki asking me out was way too hard to believe. Along with the invite was a note, written neatly, and scented with perfume. I got a whiff of the sweet smelling aroma, that engulfed my nose. It smelled like he poured the stuff onto the note, which read:
 
"Greetings, my princess. You had me at hello, when you first walked through the doors of the host club. I was captivated by your friendly, charming smile. And I would like to courtly invite you to dinner, on a more personal level. I will be by on Saturday at 7:00 sharp to pick you up with my limo. I'm looking forward to be escorting you." From, Tamaki Suoh. 
 
I dropped the note and fainted on the couch. Many reactions rush through my mind all at once, but the one question that stood out was 'Why?' I began to think to myself. "Why would he choose to go out with me, of all people? I'm not really the type of girl who gets asked out by nice guys a lot, not that I'm perfect or anything. I have my imperfections too.’ I scoffed for a bit. “Looks can't mean everything, right." Jeeves walks into the living room, and heard the last part of my sentence.
 
"It all depends as to how others see the real you." said Jeeves. "And how you see others for who they are."
 
I sat silent for a moment reflecting on the advice.
 
'How others see the real me...' I thought.
 
I remembered that I had to talk to my father.
 
"Mm, better go talk with father, I told him I'd tell him on how the exam went when I got home." I said, walking off to father's office.
Meanwhile, in the Host Club….
 
Tamaki and the rest of the Host Club were done with their hosting, and starts to rap up for another day. Their guests strode out the club one by one.
 
"Another host full day." said Tamaki, blissfully.
 
Everyone groans, as how Tamaki used the word 'host', and puts away their costumes.
 
"But seriously, next time, can we mix up our cosplay themes with the other ones? It's kinda repetitive, if we keep doing a certain ones, over and over again." said Hikaru, projecting his opinion.
"Eh, it wasn't so bad, dressing as doctors for a second time. Some of the ladies sure loved it." said Karou.
"And top requested person, yet again, is.. ." He sighs. "Tamaki." said Kyoya, announcing today's top most requested host.
"I swear someone will end dethroning you one of these days, even if one of us get a increase in clients." said Haruhi.
"By the way Haruhi, you're still not at 100 customers, so your 8 million yen debt still lingers." said Kyoya, reminding her.
"I know, geez you guys are not living this down." said Haruhi.
"Although we 'are' pretty consisted on reminding you about it." said Hikaru, teasing Haruhi.
"Even on using that 'Fancy Tuna' bit, just to get me to do stuff. Seriously, you two need to stop using it as an excuse. said Haruhi, irritated.
"It's fun teasing you ever once in awhile, plus it gets under the boss's skin as an added bonus." said Karou.
Yuri's POV
 
I knock on my father's office door.
 
"Come in." said Father, sitting in his office chair
 
I entered, and then closing the door behind me.
 
"Yuri, I am so proud of you. Soon, you will be on your way to take over the company, if something should happen to me." my father said.
"Father, I haven't even chosen what I want to study yet. So, don't assume I'm gonna study business." I said, to dad. "Besides I have something else in mind I want to pursue."
"Oh and what is it?" my father questioned.
"I want to be a General Physician. But in order for me to do that, I would have to go to medical school. Ouran Academy doesn't offer classes in that specific area of interest." I said.
"It would at least be good for you, to have some business experience, should I retire from my position." said Father.
"I don't know father, I just don't know if I want to be a female CEO." I said. "You're just worried that something will happen, and that I wouldn't have much of a choice, so I am deciding for myself before it happens. The only reason why you're forcing me is because you don't have a son to inherit the company."
"Hey, watch your attitude, young lady." said her dad, not liking my tone of voice.
"I'm fifteen years old daddy, when will you stop treating me like a child?" I said.
"I will stop treating you like a child when you turn eighteen." said her dad, angry.
 
He notices the invite in my hand and yanks it out of my grasp. 
 
"Who is this dinner invite from?" said her dad, still angry.
"Na-no one." I said.
 
He reads it. And he was surprised at who gave this.
 
"Tamaki Suoh, that...that ladies man, invited my daughter to a romantic dinner." said her dad. "You're too young to be dating."
"What do you know about him?" I said, irritated.
"All I know about him that he uses his princely charms to capture girl's hearts." said her dad. "It's obvious that he wants to get some type of attention that he finds in young girls. In my opinion he's a princely womanizer pervert."
"He's not like that, Father. He seems well mannered and polite." I said. "Tamaki wouldn't do that kind of thing."
"And why do you think he runs a school host club?" said her dad, try to changing my mind about him. "To get close to younger girls, if you get my point."
"No, the club's goal is to entertain young rich women who have way too much time on their hands. Think of it as an elegant playground for the young, rich and beautiful."
 
My dad just sighs defeated.
 
"The point is I'm trying to protect you from those types of men." said her dad. "There are things you shouldn't know about, at your age."
"You wouldn't able to protect me forever. Once I turn eighteen, I'll have full control over my own life." I said.
"In the meantime, since you're living under your mother's and my roof, you are to go by our rules, is that understood?" said my dad, trying to calm down from the abrupt argument.
"But father.." said Yuri.
"No buts." said her dad.
 
Then I thought of one idea that could definitely get him to let me go out with Tamaki on Saturday.
 
"Fine, how about I make you a deal? If you let me go out with him twice, I will promise you, that I will um...I will take up business as my study of interest." I said.
 
My father looked into my eyes. For the most of my life, I was always treated by my father like a little girl he used to rock in his arms at night. However, with my deal, I noticed that he treated me different this time. No longer did she see me like that...now I see that my father is treating me like a young girl, maturing rapidly into a responsible woman.
 
"Alright, deal. If you think he is a good catch….I will let you date him." my father said.
"R-Really father, you'll let me date him?" I said, getting excited.
"I just don't want you getting pregnant. There are some guys who would lie, cheat, steal, just to get ahead. Even using young women to fool with."
"Thanks. You won't regret it." I said, excited, and kisses him.
"Just also promise me that you'll make the right choices." said her dad. "I was a little reckless myself when I was 16, I had met your mother in the red light district, on a one night sight, and that's how you were born."
"Not the topic I wanted to talk about right now. Speaking of mom, where is she?" I asked.
"Last I heard, she was laying down from another night of drinking." said her dad.
"That seems like mom would do. I'm gonna go check on her." I said.
 
I walked out of father's office, and went to check on my mother.
Outside POV…
 
As Yuri goes to check on her mother, something else goes in the mansion of one of the Host Club members: That of Kyoya.
 
There, Kyoya Ootori sat in a chair at his father's mansion, sitting in a decently bright room. He is not delighted however, but rather envious. With a rather heavy sigh, he looks at the table, with thoughts heavy with a tone of discord in his voice...
 
"In a moment's time, Yuri Kagami will be mine." Kyoya mutters to himself. "Just you wait..."
What is Kyoya planning this time ? What has happened to Yuri's mother ? All will be answered in the next chapter. Next: Chapter 4
