Chapter 13: Nightclub?!
"I can't believe Yuki would want to work in such a place!" Haru said, vexed. "We need to confront her," Kaoru said, walking up and down. "Kyouya, do you have any clue where that place is?" Tamaki could not bring himself to say the word 'nightclub'.
"Here is the information. That club is called 'flower 10'. It's roughly about 4 kilometers away from Ouran and there's a chance that Yuki is living near that area. But if you guys want to visit her, we'll need to go undercover."
Tamaki stood up, "Lets go, it's makeover time!" When the sun had set, the group made their way towards flower 10. Each of them wore long hair and dresses (except Mori) Men and women stared at the group of eight as they went inside the club.
"Eww, guys leering at us!" Hikaru whispered. Loud music blasted from the speakers and men were whispering among themselves about the hosts. A young man; obviously the owner of the club came over to them. He introduced himself as Fred.
"May I ask why such fine young ladies are here? Its such an honor," Fred kissed Tamaki's hand. Tamaki was not used to being kissed like that. He tried his best to sound like a girl but sounded more like a duck. "W-We've C-come here to meet a person," Haruhi elbowed Tamaki to shut up and glared at the rest to stop laughing.
"We're here to meet a person called Yuki, I'm told she works here," Haruhi spoke sweetly. Fred eyed her suspiciously. "The only 'Yuki' here is a guy. He is busy singing right now. He is also heavily booked by other ladies,"
Haruhi smiled, "We'll pay you more," Fred thought for a while before nodding. He led them to a private room to wait. "Haruhi, I didn't know you could act like a girl," Haru said as they waited. "I can be like a girl if I wanted to," Haruhi rolled her eyes.
"Sorry I'm late-" Yuki stopped at the sight of the hosts and her brother. "Why are you here?" "Yuki!" Haru hugged his sister. "Nii-san," Yuki began. "Don't say anything, Yuki. I've been so worried!"
"Yuki, why do you, of all jobs in the world, work in a nightclub?" Kaoru asked. "I'm alright. Anyway, the pay's good," Yuki replied. "Are you insane?!" Kaoru asked. "Uh, I think we'll leave you and Yuki alone to talk things out," Tamaki said. The others nodded and went first.
For a while, there was silence. "Give me some beer," Kaoru said. Yuki took a glass and pass it to him. Kaoru grabbed Yuki's hand and made her sit on his lap. "Kaoru-" He took out a wad of money and threw it on the table. "One night. That should be enough. You want money, here-"
Yuki splash the beer on Kaoru and stood up. She gave him a tight slap. "Kaoru Hitachin!! Do you think I'm some kind of cheap woman?!" Yuki yelled. "Just because this is some club you think I'll sell myself? My dad has debts okay, I need money but I'm not a loose woman!!"
"So, quit!" Kaoru stood up. "I won't, I'm not stupid you know. I've dressed as a man to avoid men like you!" Yuki shouted. "What if they find out you're not a guy?" Kaoru asked. "Why can't we help you? Are we not your friends?" Kaoru asked. "No, Kaoru. From now onwards, if we ever meet again, I ignore you," Yuki said coldly.
"Fine. We're not friends anymore!" Kaoru stormed out of the room in rage and sorrow. "Kaoru, I heard you guys fighting," Haru said. "Forget about that idiot. If she wants to continue working here just let her! I don't give a damn," Kaoru pulled Hikaru out of the club.
"Kaoru is just like Hikaru. He forces his feelings onto other people," Tamaki sighed. "Lets go back first. We'll come back some other time," Haru said. Meanwhile, Yuki looked at the hosts as they went out. A single tear fell. "Guys, I'm so sorry…." She whispered.
