One Step at a Time: Kaoru Hitachiin Love Story

Chapter 3: Beware The Physical Exams!

Kaoru's POV

    We all arrive at the garden and change into our outfits and wait for the ladies. Hikaru and I are in waiter outfits along with Tamaki, Kyoya, and Kosuke. Honey, Mori, and Haruhi are in kimonos. We open the gates and guests come flowing in. For today Kosuke is just watching to see how the host club works. Right now he's watching Tamaki flirt with his guests. Suddenly I'm burned by spilled tea. "Ow!"
    "Kaoru!" Hikaru says. He turns around and sucks on my finger. "Honestly, Kaoru. You have to be more careful. From now on, keep your eyes on me, okay?"
    "Hikaru..." I say in a submissive voice. The two girls at our table squeal. Kosuke is facepalming in the background.
    "I can't take it. It's so overwhelming!" one says.
    "You have to watch this! This is a rare scene! You may never see it again." says the other. Kyoya walks over while they are talking.
"You are absolutely right, mademoiselle. All beauty is fleeting. Just take a look at these cherry blossoms. You'll never be able to see them this vibrant again. And that's why I've compiled this picture book that contains photos that capture the beauty of each passing day. Incidentally, I've prepared similar books of the other hosts as well. If you ladies are interested in collecting all four of them, I'll discount the full set for you." Kyoya says with all with his fake grin.
    "I'll buy them!"
    "All of them!"
    "So this is how the host club makes money" Hikaru and I say.
    "Which raises the question..." starts Hikaru
    "... when did he take pictures of any of us?" I finish.
    A while later Hikaru and I see Tamaki talking to Haruhi. We both look at each other with Cheshire grins. We run up to Haruhi and put our arms around her shoulders. We ask "Haruhi, have you decided on your electives courses yet?" I say "How about conversational French?"
    "I don't know" She says.
    "I think the three of us should take it together. It makes perfect sense." says Hikaru.
    "We are in the same class." Both of us say while giving Tamaki our devil smirks. He goes into his emo corner while Hikaru and I talk to Haruhi. Kosuke walks over to Tamaki to listen in. Suddenly the Boss comes over.
    "Listen, Haruhi. I want you to stop hanging out with those shady twins!"
    "Who are you calling shady?" Hikaru says.
    "Yeah, take a good look at yourself, boss!" Tamaki slowly backs away.
    "Yes, that's it. All right then. We can't go on hiding the fact that you're a girl from everyone in the school any longer. All daddy wants is for you to go back to being the girl you used to be, for you to surround yourself with girlfriends and start leading a wholesome life!" Tamaki declares.
    "Who's daddy?" Haruhi says. We watch as Kyoya writes all this down. Kosuke walks over and tries to take a peek at his notebook , but Kyoya slams it closed.
    "So do it. Change back now! Change right now!!" The Boss says while shaking Haruhi. Kosuke smirks and walks up towards Tamaki. He whispers in his ear and the Boss instantly turns red. Small red drops come out of his nose. Kosuke comes over to us and whispers.
    "I told him that he shouldn't hold her there, plus shaking her will just make her chest shake right against your hands." Hikaru and I burst out laughing and fall down on the floor in tears.
    "Kosuke, my friend, you are awesome" We say. We turn to Tamaki.
    "You don't have to rush things. She's going to be found out soon enough" Hikaru says.
    "Physical exams are the day after tomorrow"
    "That's right. I forgot all about it." Oh okay Kyoya forgot som... OH MY GOSH KYOYA FORGOT SOMETHING.
    "Then that means there's no doubt. They're gonna know I'm really a girl." We all looked at her shocked as lightning flashes. Well except for Kosuke. He just stands there with a smirk on his face. What is up with him? Why is he so quiet, yet he has proven he is quite witty. I wonder how this game will turn out.
