Family Ties

@ Color Me Morbid
(okay, bedtime for me haha ill respnd in the morning)

(Sorry it's so short.)

Tamaki stared in surprise at Kyoya, who very clearly and very bluntly just manipulated his sister into co-managing the club. "Kyoya, that's not very nice... To play on Kimi's emotions like that..." Hana felt a little uneasy at Kyoya's play on Kimi's emotions too, but she didn't say anything.

(It's fine! And, sorry, I passed out last night. x.x)

Kyoya sighed and looked over at Tamaki. "Would you really rather your sister manage the club on her own?" he asked rather bluntly, "This way, the stress isn't all on one person, so it won't be as prominent on either of them if they work together." He shrugged slightly, fairly confident that his idea was good overall. "I didn't get her to agree just for the club, but so that your sister wouldn't stress out so much, too." Kimi remained silent, figuring there was no point in interrupting.

(Sorry been super swamped lately with a show I wrote, directed and stared in. Will be back on mibba regularly hopefully tomorrow or Monday. --we had our performance last night--)

(No worries! I was just worried I hadn't clicked the tag before, so I wanted to fix it in case. How'd the show go? :D)

@ Color Me Morbid
(Really well, thanks for asking! I'm qualified and am going to take it to competition)

(Oh, congrats!)

Tamaki sighed, he couldn't deny that Kyoya had a point. Tamale didn't was his sister to get stressed out from managing the club on her own, and he opened his mouth to voice it but was cut off by Hana. "I am right here and can talk for myself, Tamaki." Hana turned her kind, violet eyes to look at Kimi, "Dint worry about me, if you don't want to do it. Then don't, I won't be angry with you."

Kimi blinked a few times in surprise and shook her head slightly, managing a slight smile. "I don't mind helping," she assured quietly, "I'm just a little nervous about it, the responsibility and all." After all, if they messed up, it might make her brother - or the others for that matter - upset with her and it wasn't something she wasn't to experience. Kyoya sighed quietly and shook his head. "It's really not hard," he assured them, "But having both of you rather than one will make it easier for both of you."

Tamaki was annoyed but he didn't really have another option other than to just nod and sit down, still in his princely get up, on one of the love seats. "Okay, that's great Kyoya, but what is it they'll be doing? Hana's got homework too, she's also involved in her own clubs."

Hana shook her head at Tamaki and sat down beside him, taking one his her brother's hands in both of her petite hands with care. "I'm not apart of any clubs just yet, but I would like to be. I assume you'll be taking care of the financial things, Kyoya, so what exactly does that leave for Kimi and I to do?"

"They could decide on the places we visit. Kimi's fully aware of the places our family controls, so she could easily suggest ideas and Hana and Kimi can make final decisions after running them by me," Kyoya explained before he shrugged, "Also, they can be in charge of getting more guests to make things easier for us." His eyes glanced over to Kimi at hearing the other two mention clubs, though, and he wondered if his sister would be joining any, if this really would be too much on her. Even he could be a little concerned. "Are you going to join clubs, Kimi?"

Kimi blinked in surprise at hearing her brother and she shook her head slightly. "No, I don't think so," she decided after a moment. It wasn't because she didn't want to, but she simply figured none of the clubs would interest her.

Tamaki sighed, giving up on fighting the matter. "Hana, don't over work yourself but do whatever you please." He gave his sister's hand a final pat before he stood and dusted off his costume. "I'm going to go change, you'll wait me for here?"

Hana nodded to her older brother before she stood herself and straightened her own pastel yellow uniform and adjusted the neck bow. "I've actually got to go check out a club but I'll be back, don't worry," she said before Tamaki nodded and walked in the back to change. Haruhi, Honey and Mori followed soon after leaving Kyoya, Kimi and Hana left in the front room. Hana's eyes drifted to the clock, "I'd better get going, I'll see you tomorrow Kimi."

Kimi smiled slightly in response. "See ya," she murmured quietly before she glanced up to her brother, hoping he wouldn't be rude. As if sensing his sister's expectant stare, Kyoya looked down at the girl before sighing and looking towards Hana. "Until tomorrow, Hana," he said before nodding, "Be careful not to get lost. Your brother would worry - and I'm certain you know how much he would freak out."

@ Color Me Morbid
(I'm thinking if the OHSTC acts like the Lobellia girls did when Haruhi was sucked into their show it'll provide some plot drivers, if you don't like it I can change it or take it out completely. And I put in "second most beautiful boy she'd ever seen' because the first most vesicular boy Hana's ever seen is Kyoya, she just hasn't admitted it to herself yet haha)

Tamaki took his time changing, a little but of dread coursing through him as he let his mind wander. He was afraid and nervous about so many things, but most if not all were about his sister, Hana. She was always his own friend and he could easily protect her from any harm but now that she was integrated into his friend group he was afraid something might happen. Tamaki wasn't a complete idiot, he recognized the fact that the Host Club was made up of attractive boys and the whole club was based on that and love. Tamaki was afraid that Hana might fall prey to one of the other boys and suffer for it. That was the last thing he wanted.

Hana hummed softly to herself as she walked down the hallway, she knew where she was going, this club wasn't exactly hard to find. Hana heard them before she saw them, several voices shouting over one another in too many accents for her to count, some were singing, some were shouting in despair or anger. Happily, though nervously, she knocked and opened the door to the room to find the second most beautiful boy she'd ever seen greet her with a smile, "Hello and welcome to the Ouran High School Theater Club."

(No worries, that's fine! xD Sorry this is a little short. I'm half-asleep.)

Kimi let out a sigh as she moved to sit on the couch. Her brother, on the other hand, went to the back to change back into his school uniform. It had been a long day for all of them, apparently, and neither of the Ootori siblings were certain of how things were going to go for the rest of the year. Kyoya had faith in Hana and Kimi taking over as co-managers, but he wasn't sure how well they would handle it. Kimi, on the other hand, was a little worried that she might mess up and ruin everything for everybody else.

Tamaki mindlessly got changed and waited in the club room for his sister to return. He was too emotionally drained and exhausted after his day to think too deeply about anything.

Meanwhile, Hana was instantly swept up in the Theater club, she met many students with all sorts of personalities but they all welcomed her and just about suffocated her with hugs and cries for her to become a member after she gave her try at a monologue. After about a half an hour or her mingling with the group the beautiful boy from earlier gently pulled her aside, "Your acting is incredible, Hana." He reached out a hand and took hold of hers in a paralyzed, comfortable handshake. "My name is Lee Kimaru and I'd love it if you joined the Theater Club as a full member with me." She chewed her lip, something like that needed to be thought about and she told him that before she kindly excused herself to go fine Tamaki. She needed to talk to him about it, make sure that she'd have time to help with the Host Club and do the Theater Club.

(Sorry this is so short. D:)

Kyoya soon came out of the back, looking around for his sister. Once he spotted her, he made his way over, having already changed and clearly ready to go. "Let's head home," he told her simply before looking towards Tamaki, "I'll see you tomorrow, Tamaki. Bid farewell to your sister for me." Kimi was quick to stand, offering a slight wave towards Tamaki before she moved to follow her brother out of the club room.

Tamaki and Hana found each other again and silently made their way to their waiting family car. The drive home was equally silent and Hana couldn't help but feel a little suffocated by the ringing silence. "Talk to me, will you? What's wrong?"

Tamaki sighed at his sister, "I'm worried about you. That's all."

Hana exhaled loudly in annoyance and blew the hot air out through tight lips. She wasn't going to bother giving him an answer. They rode the rest of the way in silence.

The Ootori siblings were rather quick to get into the family limo and Kimi honestly felt exhausted from the day. She had been rather nervous about her first day and all that nervousness had affected her more than she would openly admit to. With that, it was obvious that the car ride was going to be silent, which she didn't mind at all.

Kyoya had only then realized that he hadn't apologized to Tamaki's sister for whatever he had done wrong. He shrugged the realization off, figuring that there was no point in dwelling over the matter when he had already decided that he hadn't been in the wrong on anything. Maybe Tamaki's sister was just overly sensitive or something, he figured as he remained silent during the ride.
