Big Sister Fujioka

How to Handle Attention Hogs!

I'm glad you liked the ending of my last chapter! I threw it in last minute to tie it into this chapter.

Jin was granted half a second to look at Kyoya oddly, then she was being shaken around by two third year students while Tamaki tackled Kyoya to the floor. With the way everyone was screaming, even she was having a hard time distinguishing all the questions. She caught a few, like the continuous stream of 'when, when, when' coming from Honey, but Tamaki's incoherent screams were beyond even her linguistic talents.

When Kyoya finally managed to wiggle himself out from underneath the half-French boy, he stood and brushed off his uniform, "Yesterday, you idiot! I asked her when we got out of Lobelia's theater. It was a spur of the moment behavior."

"So you haven't been wanting to ask me out for months like you told me this morning?" The boy glanced at Jin over the rim of his glasses, continuing to straighten out his cuffs with a smirk. That, of course, only made the three boys freak out more.

"You guys are so unfair!" The twins unhappily threw themselves back down on the couch, "We wanted to blackmail you with that! How come you always suck the joy out of life?"

Haruhi looked at them, "You knew?"

"We saw them trying to swallow each other, if that's what you mean," Kaoru grumbled. Tamaki let out a ridiculously high note before deflating into a puddle on the floor.

"Kaoru..."

"What?" He stared at Jin, daring her to deny it, "It's the truth!"

"I hardly think a simple kiss deserves that kind of exaggeration." Kyoya cast a glance at his best friend, who let out another shriek when the kiss was confirmed. It was unclear whether his writhing was out of happiness or brain trauma.

"'A simple kiss'? Really, Kyoya-senpai?"

"That was 100% making out, and you can't tell us different."

"I was unaware you two were such perverts." Out of nowhere Tamaki suddenly started cracking up on the floor. How long had they been using that same line of him? Such sweet revenge!

Then a mental picture of Kyoya 'defiling' his 'sister' reappeared in his mind theater and he went quiet.

Honey finally relaxed enough to notice something, "Haru-chan? Aren't you happy? We've wanted them together since summer break!"

The short-haired brunette shrugged, but she was smiling, "Nēchan give me a full run-through of what happened yesterday after she told Dad Kyoya-senpai asked her out. I actually had to beg her to shut up about it."

"Jin?"

The brunette looked at her American friends, who were watching the scene in utter confusion. She smacked her forehead, "I'm so sorry! I forgot you don't speak a lot of Japanese."

Mara lifted her hands, "It's okay. We've been studying since you've been gone, but... it's the speed we have to pick up on. What just happened?"

"Well... these guys didn't exactly know that Kyoya asked me out yesterday..."

"Aaaahhhh..." the four nodded.

"Yeah, so... are you going to be taking classes? How long are you going to be at Ouran anyways?"

"Only three days, and we'll be doing our own online assignments while we're down here. Mostly we'll be learning about the school days and curriculum in Japanese culture. We're staying at Ouran to get a look at private schools, and then we're heading to Higashi High for the public education."
