Author's Notes: Alright then. I'm starting a new story, as my last one was very unoriginal and not very well written. That was just a warm-up story, basically, as I haven't been on in perhaps 2 or 3 years. () PLUS, I had to write it on wordpad, so there was no spell check...So, without further ado, here is the start of my new fanfic! (Don't worry, I didn't forget Double Trouble. I'll still finish it for those of you who are fans of it, even though I do admit, it's not among my best of works. () )

Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran High, not matter what the voices in my head tell me.

FULL SUMMARY: Based off a true story. Kaoru, of all people, has finally gotten the nerve to ask Haruhi out for real. However, Hikaru can't hold in the jealousy of their relationship for long, but is it Kaoru he's jealous of for having Haruhi, or the other way around?

Also, Tamaki does not approve of the newly made couple. Is he finally beginning to realize he doesn't want to be Haruhi's 'father' anymore, but in fact, something more?

And what is all this drama circling around Renge and Kyoya? And the fear of graduation from Hunny and Mori?

Let the show begin!

Chapter 1. Before We Go

"HA-RU-HI!" Tamaki shouted, throwing his arms around her in his overly energetic fashion that he always uses. He then pressed his cheek against hers and began to rub his face up and down, making the female host unintentionally and unwillingly do the same. However, her facial expression was covered with annoyance and irritation, not happiness and glee like the 'lord' host's expression.

"Sempai, I am TRYING to leave!" she finally yelled at him. She then put her hand on his forehead and pushed him away. She did not push him very hard, however, being the overly dramatic actor that Tamaki was known for, he fell to the ground on him back, causing a sudden crash sound on impact.

Quickly scurrying to his knees, Tamaki pulled out a white handkerchief from his pocket and bit down on it hard, over exaggerated rivers of tears falling down his face. "Haruhi! Why do you always have to be so mean to Daddy?!"

"Why do you always have to be so damn obnoxious?" she swiftly replied, shifting her eyes to the left and away from Tamaki.

Absorbing the words and taking the comment as a low blow, he then suddenly appeared in the corner of the room, hugging his knees with a shadow cast around him.

Sighing, Haruhi then turned to look at the rest of the room. The tables were half-full with female customers, who were all currently being accompanied by Mori, Hunny, Hikaru, and Kaoru. Even a few of the females were talking to Kyoya, who was showing off some of the newest merchandise the host club had to offer.

Turning around, she began to head towards the door to leave, when suddenly a voice called out to her. "Haruhi, wait!"

Blinking, she turned around and looked to see Kaoru running towards her, leaving a very confused Hikaru back at their table as the girls who had requested them left, due to expired time limit.

"Yeah, what? Is there something other then coffee you need me to get?" she questioned, tilting her head slightly to the side.

"Actually, I wanted to know if I could come along with you!" Kaoru exclaimed, a smirk on his face.

Ears suddenly perking up, Tamaki turned his head slowly to look towards the two.

"I'm not sure. It'll be bothersome and take longer then needed."

"No it won't, I promise! Besides, what's the worse that could happen?"

With that, Tamaki ran full speed at Kaoru. When he was a mere inches away from him, he abruptly stopped and pointed an accusing finger in his face, which caused Kaoru to lean back so not to get poked in the eye. "I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!"

"You know," Kyoya began as he headed towards them, leaving a group of fangirls back by the table to squeal at the calendars they had purchased. "Those Lobelia girls might still be out there. Perhaps leaving Haruhi alone isn't a good idea."

Tamaki froze, remembering all too clearly the hell those Lobelia students made them go through. Grabbing his chin, he gave the idea a moment of thought, then grinned widely and snapped his fingers. "I got it! I'll go with Haru--!"

"No," Haruhi cut him off, a blank and cold stare in her eyes. Harmed, or just milking the idea of being hurt and acting accordingly, Tamaki retreated back to his dark corner of woe in the music room.

"If I go, then there won't be any worries about the Lobelia girls. I'll be sure to keep my eye on Haruhi!" Kaoru excitedly said, resting an arm on her shoulder.

"I can take care of myself, you know," she replied, giving Kaoru a quick glare.

However, it did not seem to affect him. He then lowered his arm and latched onto Haruhi's, dragging her towards the door. "Come on! We're wasting time just standing here! To the uber market!"

"That's SUPER market! Not UBER market!" Haruhi corrected him as she was dragged out into the hallway and out of the music room.

Opening his binder, Kyoya then began to take notes as Hikaru arose and walked over to him. "I'm surprised you let Kaoru go, given how many guests we have here today."

"I have a feeling events are about to occur that will draw even more attention and guests to the club then anything we're used ever before," Kyoya replied, his eyes never averting from the notes he had been taking.

Suddenly, Tamaki's head appeared behind the binder and slowly rose up until his face was visible to Kyoya from the nose up. "And WHAT exactly are you implying by that?"

Closing the binder with one hand, Kyoya merely shrugged with a smirk on his face and made his way back towards the now much larger group of females awaiting to purchase calendars.

"He's enjoying the fact that we don't know what's going on, the sick bastard," Hikaru muttered under his breath.

Walking down the street, Kaoru and Haruhi made their ways back to the school. Kaoru was holding all the bags of coffee, as he had offered once exiting the store, and Haruhi walked closely beside him.

"I can hold some of that, you know," Haruhi informed Kaoru, looking up at him,

"Now what kind of host would I be if I made you carry all the bags?" he replied with a smirk.

"Not like you guys haven't made me before," she muttered to herself.

Kaoru again gave her a friendly smirk, then stopped walking and looked at the ground. "Actually, there was something I wanted to ask you, Haruhi."

"Hm?" She then stopped right next to him and looked up.

"I was just wondering," Kaoru began, the smile still on his face. "If you might be interested in going out with me?"

Pacing near the door, Tamaki had his arms crossed and was biting his bottom lip. Surprisingly, though, Hikaru was following him in the same fashion.

"They're taking too damn long!" Hikaru complained. He did not like being by himself and he disliked the idea of Kaoru being alone with Haruhi even less. He knew nothing bad would happen to either of them, but something in his gut was telling him that something big did just occur.

Running up to Hikaru with teary eyes, he clung to his side. "Why does Haruhi do this to Daddy?! Why? Why?! WHY?!"

"Get ahold of yourself, my lord!" Hikaru scolded, trying to push him off, but Tamaki's grip only grew stronger as he shook his head frantically and cried some more.

Suddenly, the door opened and Hikaru and Tamaki's eyes averted towards it. Standing at the door, Kaoru and Haruhi walked into the room, large grins on their faces.

Not liking that expression on them at all, Tamaki ran up to Kaoru and pointed another accusing finger at Kaoru. "What were you two doing that took so long?!"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Kaoru said with a smirk as he wrapped an arm around Haruhi.

"DON'T GET THAT TONE OF VOICE WITH ME!" Tamaki shouted, but then Haruhi walked over to him and pushed his hand out of Kaoru's face.

"You're over-reacting. We got coffee. Here," she replied, forcing the brown paper bag of instant coffee into his arms. She then made her way towards a table full of girls who were anxiously waiting for her to arrive.

"Hm," Tamaki blinked towards her, then looked down at the brown bag of coffee. "I guess everything did turn out okay."

"Everything turned out perfect," Kaoru replied with a devilish grin that made his twin, Hikaru, raise an eyebrow at him. Kaoru then began to head towards another table full of girls, however slowed down a bit when he went passed Tamaki and said quietly, "Haruhi and I are going out Friday, so don't expect us to be here after classes."

At that second, Tamaki turned pale white and froze in the spot, a look of shock and horror on his face. "G-going...OUT?!?!?!?!"
