Chapter 4
By the time lunch came Kagome just wanted to be alone. He was bored and annoyed and ready to just go home. The twins proved less entertaining then he had hoped. In fact, the moment class started they began to behave like role model students. That in and of its self wasn’t annoying. Boring but not annoying. No the annoying part was the high pitch squeal that would emanate from the girls in the class. That and the random hearts that would float towards him whenever he sighed or rolled his eyes at whatever was going on was starting to irritate him.
Seriously. Where are these things coming from? Their like stupid flies. Kagome thought as he swatted another one of the annoying pink hearts attempting to rid himself of the damn things only to have a dozen more slam right into his face.
Standing up Kagome started to walk towards the door in order to find the lunch room. After taking one look at the cafeteria he promptly did an about face and began his quest for the quietest place in the school.
After six classrooms, five labs, three libraries and two music rooms Kagome came to a third music room. Who the hell needs three music rooms? At least this one seems quiet. Kagome thought as he began to reach for the door knob.
Right as he turned the knob the bell signaling the end of lunch sounded over the speakers causing him to turn away from the door and head back to class.
“So much for finding a quiet place. Stupid noisy rich bastards and their stupid rich school.” Kagome grumbled to himself as he walked down the hallway.
Entering into the classroom he noticed the girl, Haruhi he remembered her name was, putting away her binto. Desiring to relieve his boredom he decided to approach her.
“Hay.” He said before she looked at him and he instantly got dizzy. His chest began hurting, it felt as if someone was squeezing his heart. To make matters worse he couldn’t seem to catch his breath. It was as if he was being smothered.
“Can I help you?” Haruhi asked cocking her head to the side when the stranger didn’t say anything else.
“N-n-nothing. Never mind.” Kagome stuttered before turning around and going to his desk. What the hell is wrong with me! Why couldn’t I talk to her! Why did I just freeze? He thought as he looked at his now sweaty palms.
Growling in frustration he rubbed the offending moisture off his hands as the other students began to file back into the classroom. Looking over he began watching her closely. What the hell was it about her that paralyzed him. All he knew was that he had a bad feeling about this.
For the rest of the day Kagome watched Haruhi. By the time the bell rang he had her aura memorized. He knew that she was 5’1” and her blood type was probably O. Kagome even new that Haruhi was some kind of couponer do to the fact that she had a bunch of mechanical pencils that he recognized as freebies from the local supermarket.
Gods I sound like a fucking stocker. What the hell. Maybe I just haven’t had anyone to talk to outside of the family, so I just got the jitters. Ya that must be it. I’ll try talking to her again.
Standing up Kagome approached Haruhi as she was gathering her stuff to go home.
“Hay sorry about earlier, I just started getting dizzy and couldn’t focus. My name is Kagome Higurashi.” Kagome said while bowing.
“Haruhi Fujioka, and I noticed.” Haruhi cut a half bow from her seat.
“So…. Um. You’re the scholarship student huh?” Kagome said nervously rubbing the back of his neck.
“You to huh? Come to find out about the poor commoner.” Haruhi said with exasperation.
“No, I don’t care if your rich or poor. Besides you want to know a secret?” Kagome asked leaning over conspiratorially. “I’m a commoner to.” He whispered in Haruhi’s ear.
“But I thought they only give out one scholarship a year.” Haruhi looked at Kagome with obvious disbelief.
“Meh. I only came into this money thing a few days ago. How about we walk and talk though. I want to find someplace quiet to study. Want to come?” Kagome asked feeling more relaxed around the tom-boy.
“Sure. There are three libraries here so one of them should be empty.” Haruhi enthused, excited that she just found a study buddy.
“Then let the search for knowledge begin!” Kagome shouted while striking a pose reminiscent to some sort of manga hero.
---
Thirty minutes later saw them still wondering the halls looking for a quiet place to relax and much like Kagome’s search earlier the entire building was not only still packed even though school was already over.
“What the hell! This place has four libraries and not a single one of them is quiet.” Haruhi fumed as they continued walking after their latest failure to find a good study nook.
“Well maybe one of the classrooms are empty.” Kagome shrugged while glancing at the girl next to her.
“Ya, your right. What about this door?” Haruhi said as they come up to a rather large and gothic looking door.
Kagome stopped to look at the door Haruhi was indicating. After a quick glance he notices the arcane aura coming from it and with a quick “Nope” he turned from the door and kept walking.
Jogging to catch up with the taller boy Haruhi gave him a funny look before noticing another door ahead of them.
“Music room 3 huh. Sounds pretty quiet for a music room.” Haruhi said grabbing Kagome’s hand and pulling him with her into the room.
Immediately after entering the room they were blasted with rose petals and the sound of voices welcoming them.
“Oh it’s just some guys.” Two boys that Kagome recognized as the Hitachiin twins said.
“Hay. Watch your mouth. They are our important guests even if they are guys.” A tall blond sitting in a chair said to the twins before turning to the two ‘guys’ standing in the door.
At this point Haruhi has pressed herself against the door with her heart in her throat. What the heck is this beautiful group…. Haruhi thinks to herself trying to calm down.
Kagome for his part can tell that this was going nowhere good and shouts “Fuck this shit I’m out. No thanks.” And dashes towards the door only to find it locked.
“Welcome to Ouran High School Host Club!! Rare scholarship student, Fujioka Haruhi-Kun!! And adopted heir to the Toshio Corporation, Kagome Higurashi.” The tall blond continued completely oblivious to the ‘guests’ plight.
“How, how did you know…?” Haruhi began slowly turning towards the strangers
“Forget that shit. How do you get out of here!” Kagome shouted trying to break down the door.
“It seems the tone of our school doesn’t fit for commoners, so if you don’t have a lot of nerve, you can’t get a scholarship here.” A bespectacled boy says looking at Haruhi. Completely ignoring the boy attempting to squeeze through the one-centimeter crack in the door to escape the crazy that he just knows is about to descend upon them.
“If I didn’t know all about you, I shouldn’t be in this school right?” Glasses says completely ignoring Haruhi’s discomfort.
“Yeah. Thank you for explaining so kindly.” Haruhi deadpanned.
“Yes!!” The tall blond shouted as he lunges forward and grabs ahold of Haruhi. “So to speak, you are a hero, Fujioka-kun!!”
Suddenly Haruhi and the tall blond are surrounded by roses and glitter as the tall blond puts his arm around Haruhi in a half hug as he continues. “Welcome to the luxuriant world, oh poorest person. Even if you are the top student, you are also the poorest in this school. People will call you a weed, and you will be despised as a lower person!! Yes, you probably will be!!”
“wait, you don’t have to… say that much.” Haruhi tried to intervein only to be completely ignored.
“Don’t worry, I praise the poorest! What is important to the hero is the reckless spirit!!” The tall blond theatrically proclaims. “I cannot believe the rumored scholarship student and Toshio heir are gay…” Reminding everyone of Kagome’s presence.
“Huh? Gay??” Haruhi stutters.
“Who the fuck are you calling gay blondie!” Kagome explodes forgetting his attempts at trying to open the windows to jump out.
Ignoring the outbursts, the tall blond kept talking. “What would you like? Wild? Lolita? Pedophile? Or… Would you like to try me?” he asks while tilting Haruhi’s face up towards him.
“You misunderstood. We were just…” Haruhi began.
“Haru-chan! Are you a hero? I want to hear the story about when you saved the queen.” A short blond excitedly said grabbing onto Haruhi.
“Who gave you permission to call me Haru-chan!!” Haruhi snapped causing the short blond to run over to the tall dark youth sobbing about how Haruhi got mad at him.
“Anyways. We were just looking for somewhere quiet! Please excuse…” Haruhi began turning around in order to leave only to back into a large gaudy vase.
Kagome, seeing the falling vase, abandoned escape attempt number 34 and rushed forward and yanked Haruhi back before she could fall on the shards.
“Are you okay?” Kagome asked Haruhi inspecting her closely for any injuries.
“Oh no. That rune vase was supposed to be the feature for the school auction.” One twin said.
“What will we do…? We were going to start the bidding at 8 million yen…” The other twin said causing Haruhi and Kagome to stutter at the amount that the vase cost.
“I… I’ll pay it ba…” Haruhi started to sweat profusely at the prospect of having to dish out that amount of money.
“Can you? You can’t even buy your own uniform. What’s with that lame cloth you’re wearing.” The twins said in uniform delivering the final blow.
“This… is my dad’s… and I couldn’t find anything else that looked like a uniform…” Haruhi fumbled over her words.
“What the hell. You don’t need to go that far. Haruhi’s clothing choice is just fine. Don’t listen to them Haruhi. I think you look wonderful. And I can pay for the vase. You don’t need to worry about it.” Kagome tried to reassure Haruhi while glaring at the twins.
“No Kagome. I could never ask you to do that for me. I was the one who wasn’t paying attention and broke the vase. I should be the one to pay for it.” Haruhi said blushing at Kagome’s attention and continued closeness seeing how he had yet to release her since he saved her from falling.
“What would you do, Tamaki?” Glasses spoke to the tall blond now known as ‘Tamaki’.
“Aah… do you know this proverb, Fujioka-kun? Kagome-kun?” Tamaki sat down and pointed a finger imperiously as Haruhi and Kagome. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you don’t have the money, pay with your own body!! From now on, you two are the host club’s dogs!!”
“What?” Kagome yelled in indignation as Haruhi’s ghost began to drift out of her body catching the attention of the host club.
