She came in every day. Every day at 3:30, and she stayed for about 30 minutes before excusing herself and leaving. She would sit with Hani-senpai and Mori-senpai, eating a piece of cake and barely saying anything. Even Mori-senpai spoke more than she did. I wasn't even completely sure what her name was.

"Kaoru? What do you think?" A polite, high-pitched voice asked me.

Great, I hadn't even heard the question because I was too busy daydreaming. Hikaru smirked at me and stifled a laugh at my dilemma.

"Uh, yes. Certainly."

The girls giggled and sipped their tea excitedly. Who knows what I just agreed to?

Twenty minutes later, the girls appointment times were up, and they left as a new batch of customers came in. I watched as the girl politely waved to Mori-senpai and Hani-senpai and shuffled out the door.

"Staring at Sato Hina, Kaoru?" Kyoya said behind me. Hikaru laughed and walked over toward Haruhi.

I whipped around. "Is that her name?"

"Of course. She's in your year, you know. Her father is a prominent businessman that has his fingers in all sorts of pies."

Hmm. I guess at some point, I'll just have to talk to her myself. Most girls don't switch hosts randomly, so she'll probably never just decide to be around Hikaru and me.

As Hikaru, Haruhi, and I trudged out of our class together, I saw a flash of dark brown hair coming out of the opposite classroom.

"Hey guys, I'll be right back," I called to Hikaru and Haruhi as I dashed over to her.

"Sato-san!"

She turned around and looked at me quizzically.

"Can I help you Hitachiin-san?"

In my haste to get over to her, I didn't think of anything to say.

"I, uh, I…"

"Kaoru just wanted to know if you would give us the pleasure of being our guest this afternoon at the Host Club?" Hikaru came over and swung his arm over my shoulder, adding in a wink at Hina.

"Um, I suppose I could, as long as switching is okay with Kyoya –senpai," she answered quietly.

"Great!" Hikaru smiled at her, and turned and walked away quickly.

He turned to me and burst out laughing.

"K-Kaoru! You couldn't even say a single word to her!" He cackled and slapped me on the back. I stalked over to Haruhi, who gave me a sympathetic smile. I grumbled and headed to our last class of the day.

Hey everybody, this is my first fic on this website, and I'm trying to write it from a male's perspective, which is quite the challenge. So, let me know if Kaoru ends up getting too girly or it's obvious that I'm a terrible writer *cries*
