Ouran High School Host Club Fan Fiction ❯ kyouya's lover ❯ The power of tea ( Chapter 3 )

Once Kyouya was back at school and in the music room he took out the bag of tea that Nika had given him and called Haruhi over as she was walking by with a tray of tea.

 

“Haruhi could you please make me a cup of tea using this.” Kyouya said nicely handing her the bag.

 

Haruhi looked up at Kyouya surprised he didn't seem to be ordering her to make it. And looked at the bag in her hands questioningly.

 

“Um..excuse me Kyouya sempai but didn't you go to the store for cold medicine?”Haruhi asked placing the bag of tea on the tray and looking up at her sempai with concern on her face.

 

“Just because I'm not at my healthiest does not mean my mentality has diminished Haruhi”Kyouya said simply while he pushed his glasses up his nose with his index finger.

 

“Mommy you don't have to speak to our daughter like that!Shes just concerned about her mommies well being.”Tamaki said hugging Haruhi from behind roses and sparkles aglow.

 

“Tamaki sempai how many times do I have to tell you? You're not my father!”Haruhi said point blank making the prince of the club go into a corner and start sulking.

 

Haruhi sighed as she went off to make the tea and Kyouya walked to his usual table to do some work on his laptop wondering how Nikas tea was supposed to beat a cold so quickly.

 

“Here you go Kyouya sempai..you look a little better already.” Haruhi said placing the tray of tea down and looking at Kyouya who only glanced away from his laptop to look at the yellowish -green steaming liquid that was already poured into a cup for him.

 

“May I ask a question sempai?”Haruhi asked as she poured some sugar in the cup for him after already having a month of practice making tea for the host club.

 

“Of course Haruhi.” Kyouya said taking his attention away from his laptop and looking at Haruhi an eyebrow raised.

 

“Where did you get this tea it smells really good?”Haruhi asked in her usual blank manner that would seem cute to most but just normal Haruhi to Kyouya.

 

“A young lady gave it to me.”Kyouya said with a smirk as he took the cup Haruhi offered and absently sipped as he turned back to his laptop.

 

“Oh my!”Kyouya said to himself after taking a sip of the tea.

 

It was by far the best tea Kyouya had ever tasted. The aroma alone filled his nostrils and made it easy for him to breathe and made any and all mucus seem to disappear as he lifted the tea to his mouth. The taste itself was on a whole different plane. It was minty one minute then sweet like honey with an after taste of vanilla. As it went down his throat it seemed cool and comforting making his slight sore throat disappear, and when it hit his chest it warmed making him feel like he just put on a nice warm jacket.

 

Kyouya stared at the brew as if it was some foreign object for a minute then continued to sip making sure not to let his demeanor of cool confident sophistication soften even a little bit while the club was still in session.

 

When Kyouya had come home after not saying even less then usual to his fellow host club members he decided to do some research.

“I have some tea I want you to analyze for me. Check for any medicinal herbs that may be in it if you can. I'm sending it over now.”Kyouya said to his families' private chemist who he had called on his cell phone as he passed one of his servants the pouch of tea Nika had given him.

 

Once the servant had gone Kyouya opened up his laptop and entered his families' personal database of information on anyone and everyone in Japan. It was commonly used to retrieve medical records but Kyouya was not looking for that.

 

“Cho,Nika”Kyouya typed in as pictures and info reflected off his glasses. The computer put up a prompt telling him it would take an hour to go through all the cho's in Japan.

 

“I didn't expect so many people with a Chinese name to be in Japan.”Kyouya sighed as he decided to take a shower while waiting for the computer to do its work.

 

As Kyouya showered he found himself thinking back to last night and the sight of Nika in the rain smiling at him seemed to not want to go away as he put his head under the showerhead hoping the water would clear his mind.

 

“Even if she's intresting,why do I keep thinking about a simple girl like that? She's not even that pretty.”Kyouya said to himself as he walked out from the bathroom putting his glasses on and draping a towel over his head.

 

He glanced at his computer screen and found it had a rather large picture of a younger Nika on it smiling brightly in what must have been a school picture by the look of the uniform.

 

Kyouya sat down and began to read the info his eyes going wide as he read.
