Haruhi found herself taking a little boy to the restroom. The little boy looked up and squeezed the hand that he was grasping. "Onii-san, can we hurry up a bit? I really have to go!"

Haruhi snapped back into reality when she felt her hand being squeezed and noticed the pained look on his face after realizing the child was talking to her. After all, she wasn't use to being called onii-san. "Ah, okay! Why don't you lead the way?" Haruhi replied.

The little boy released her hand and started sprinting towards the bathroom. Haruhi, being as slow as she was, started panicking, afraid that she would lose him. Luckily, she found the restroom when she saw him dash into it as she had turned the corner. While she was waiting for the little boy to finish his business, she sighed and leaned against the wall. It had been a pretty long week so far.

A few days earlier, the Host Club had their usual meeting. Kyoya had brought up the subject of Halloween. Hearing the subject, the flamboyant blonde, Tamaki, and the devilish twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, went into a frenzy. "What should we do this year, Kaoru?" Hikaru asked, turning to Kaoru with a grin that made Tamaki shudder.

Kaoru tapped his lip and said, "Well, we can go over to Haruhi's house and participate in her commoner festivities."

Tamaki slammed his hand onto the table as he glared at the twins. "As the club president, I object! How rude can you two abominable twins be? Commoner rule number one, you mustn't impose yourself on others," he said, pointing his index finger in his infamous, I-know-all-about-commoners pose.

Haruhi, hearing that, averted her eyes. Wasn't it generally rude to impose oneself on others, disregarding class? "But Tama-chan, I want to go to Haruhi's house too!" Hunny, the lolita boy, paused in his comment and then suddenly smiled brightly. "And eat candy! Takashi, doesn't that sound like fun?"

"Yes" Mori, the man with few words, said in his deep voice.

"Hunny-senpai, Mori-senpai," Tamaki said tentatively. "We can always eat candy and have fun here!"

"Oh?" Hikaru said, sidling towards Tamaki to invade the Lord's personal bubble by butting his head against his Lord's. "You aren't thinking about how you don't want other people to see Haruhi in a cute costume are you?"

Kaoru appeared on Tamaki's other side and whispered in horror, "How perverted! So this is what Tono thinks of all the time!"

Tamaki started throwing a tantrum as Haruhi decided to ignore them by turning to Kyoya. "So what are we doing for Halloween?" she asked.

"Why are you asking me? Tamaki is the one who makes the executive decisions," Kyoya replied, barely looking up from his laptop.

Because he's the Shadow King, of course, Haruhi thought. Instead she of saying her thoughts aloud, she said, "Because you were the one who brought up the subject. So doesn't that mean you had something in mind?"

Kyoya pushed his glasses up with one finger while his other hand continued to type unknown information into his laptop. "An interesting point of view," he replied.

"Mother! The twins are misbehaving!" Tamaki whined from the other side of the room.

Haruhi glanced at the chaos before getting up and declaring, "Since we aren't doing anything important, I'll be going home then. There's a sale at the supermarket today."

The males in the room all stopped what they were doing, except for Kyoya, and took their seats at the meeting table and quietly sipped their tea, twiddled their fingers, or smiled at Haruhi, urging her back to the table. Not falling for the silent pleads for her to stay, she took a step towards the door before she heard Kyoya say, "If you skip out on club meetings, that will cause your debt to raise up quite a bit."

Haruhi soon found herself sitting back in her seat. Tamaki beamed and said, "So then it's decided! We're going to help out at the elementary school division for our Halloween festivities!"

"That's a good idea! The elementary school will have lots and lots of candy!" Hunny said happily while Mori grunted his agreement.

Hikaru and Kaoru looked bored as they said, "Where did you get that idea, Tono?"

Tamaki smiled and suddenly stood up in another pose, holding out a flyer. "I saw this flyer outside in the hall! It says the elementary schools are holding a festival to raise money to donate to CAM, a group that helps unfortunate children and mothers! What a noble cause that would be," Tamaki finished, staring off into space with a dreamy look plastered all over his face.

As the twins started teasing the blonde about what he could possibly be daydreaming about, Haruhi watched Kyoya smile. She shivered from a sudden chill she felt on her neck. Earlier that morning, she had saw Kyoya put flyers up in the hallway. However, Haruhi had noticed how he had tactfully arranged them so that the flyer that would catch Tamaki's attention would be the Halloween festival one.
