Chapter 1: Starting Today, You are a Host!

Loud chatter could be heard no matter where they turned, the two 'commoner' transfers went room to room just looking for a quiet place to study in the gigantic school. They sighed as they opened the door to yet another noisy library and went on their way once more and the two shaggy looking students made their way up the stairs.

One of the students was a brunette named Haruhi Fujioka. He was short, only 5'4", and petite with large brown rimmed glasses that made his large round brown eyes look even bigger. His hair was shaggy, and only barely reached past his ears, and instead of the school uniform he wore a white shirt beneath a muav sweatshirt and jeans with white sneakers. His best friend, Naruto Namikaze, had spiky, sunny blond hair (That was slightly longer than Haruhi's) and large blue eyes. Naruto was slightly shorter than his brunette friend (About 5'2") and wore big glasses with dark blue-violet rims, a baggy orange and black jacket with a black shirt underneath, and black jeans with black converse.

"This school has 4 library rooms, you'd think one of them would be quiet." The Haruhi quietly commented to the smaller blond that walked beside him, who nodded.

They stopped at a large window and looked outside watching the beauty of the birds as they flew by. 'How are things in heaven, Mom?' the brunette thought, his blonde friend thinking similarly. 'I can't believe it's been 10 years now…'

'I hope everything's good where you are, Mom, Dad… 15 years is a long time…'

They continued walking. "You know, Naruto, I'm beginning to think that rich kids only come to school for the fun of it."

The Naruto sighed. "Yeah,"

Finally, they stumbled upon a room that seemed to be empty or quiet: Music Room #3. "It's an unused music room."

"It's probably the only place we'll be able to study."

They pulled the doors open and were showered with rose petals. The two scholarship students stared into the room, dumbfounded at the sight in front of them.

"Welcome," Came a chorus of voices. There were 6 teens in the room, even though one looked like he should be in elementary.

A blond with violet eyes sat in a chair in the middle of the room with the other 5 surrounding him.

'When we opened the door, we found the host club.'

"Only those with excellent social standing and those from filthy rich families are lucky enough to spend their time here, at the elite private school: Ouran Academy." The blond explained. "The Ouran Host Club is where the school's handsomest boys with too much time on their hands entertain young ladies who also have way too much time on their hands. Just think of it as Ouran Academy's elegant playground for the super rich and beautiful."

The two honor students froze, backs pressed against the door.

"H-host Club?" They asked as the panic set in.

"Oh, it's a couple of boys." Voiced the orange haired twins, who were currently hanging off each other

"Hikaru, Kaoru?" The dark haired one with glasses said. "I believe these young men are in the same class as you, aren't they?"

The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, turned to him. "Yeah, but they're shy. They don't act very sociably so we don't know much about them."

The taller boy gave a shrug and an eye smile, a light bulb going off in his head. "Well, that wasn't very polite." He chided, and the twins shrugged. "Welcome to the Ouran Host Club, Honor Students."

Suddenly the tall blond appeared in their faces. "What?" He said in shock. "You must be Fujioka Haruhi and Namikaze Naruto. The exceptional honor students we've heard about." He commented in slight awe as the two tried to escape the music room. They suddenly turned their heads to face them.

"H-how do you know our names?" They asked, slightly freaked out.

"You're infamous. It's not everyday that a commoner gains entrance into our academy, let alone two." Glasses said, and their shoulders sagged. "You must have audacious nerves to work hard enough to fight your ways into this school as honor students, Fujioka-kun, Namikaze-kun."

"W-well, uh… Thanks?" They stuttered simultaneously, still hunched over as if the words 'commoner' and 'audacious' stabbed them.

"You're welcome." The ring leader said, wrapping an arm around the two commoners. "You're heros to all of the other poor people, Fujioka, Namikaze." He babbled. "You've shown the world that even poor people can excel at an elite, private academy!" The shorter teens shrugged him away and slid away, but he followed. "It must be hard for the two of you to constantly be looked down upon by others."

Haruhi cut in as they sped away from the blond again. "I think you're taking this 'poor' thing too far." He didn't pay attention, though, and continued on.

"But that doesn't matter, does it? Long live the poor?" He shouted, pulling the two closer to him. "We welcome you poor men to our world," he made a slight pause. "Of beauty!" His voice raised and more roses came from nowhere, surrounding him as he sparkled.

The first years sighed again. They were doing that a lot today. "We're out of here." Came their deadpan reply to him as they made their way to the door. Before they could reach it, however, small hands grabbed their wrists and pulled them back.

"Hey!" The small, lolita boy exclaimed. "Come back here Naru-chan, Haru-chan! You must be like superheroes or something! That's so cool!" innocent honey brown eyes looked up at them.

"We're not heroes, we're honor students." Naruto's said flatly. They just wanted to study, why was that so hard in this school? He paused for a moment. "And who are you calling 'Naru-chan?!" He screamed in the short teens face, appalled by the nick name. It seems that no matter where he went that name would follow.

The blond slid in again. What were their names anyway? "I never would've imagined the two famous scholars would be so openly gay…" He muttered to himself.

"Huh?" Haruhi looked at him.

"Gay?" Naruto stared, unamused.

He, again, ignored them.

"So tell what kind of guys you're into," He gestured to the tall, muscled brunette. "Do you like the strong silent type?" he asked them. "The boy-lolita type?" his gesture moved to the short blonde teen carrying the stuffed bunny. "Maybe the mischievous type?" He moved to the twins, who were smirking. "Or the cool type." Now he was pointing to the tall dark haired male with glasses.

"Uhh…" They slowly backed away from the blond. "I, uh, i-it's really not like that!" They sputtered. "We were just looking for a quiet place to study, that's all!" The blond ignored them once more and brought a hand to each of their cheeks, sliding it down to their chins, lifting their faces.

"Or maybe," His voice dropped from cheerful to seductive. "You're into a guy like me? What do you say?" He had a playful, seductive smirk on his face and the two first years' panic worsened.

The two shot backwards, and in the process, knocked over a wooden pedestal holding an expensive white vase with blue accents, shattering it to pieces on the tile. They panicked looking at the many pieces of the vase.

"Aww," The twins' voices sounded from behind them.

"That renaissance vase was going to be featured in the school auction." One said.

"Now you've done it," The other continued. "The bidding for that was going to start at ¥8,000,000."

The two froze. "E-eight million yen?!" Naruto stuttered out, suddenly finding it hard to breathe.

"How many thousand yen is that? How many thousands are in 8 million?" Haruhi counted on his fingers, then turned to face the host club.

"Uhhh, can we pay you back?" They asked warily, sounding dizzy.

"With what money?" The twins scoffed. "You can't even afford school uniforms." Naruto's hands balled into fists, though no one seemed to notice. "What's with those grubby outfits you've got on anyway." His tan knuckled started turning white.

"Well, what do you think we should do, Tamaki?" The cool type said. 'At least we know blondie's name now…'

They looked to the blond who was now sitting in the chair again, he swung one leg over his knee as he spoke. "There's a famous saying you may have heard, Fujioka-kun, Namikaze-kun. 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'." He said, pointing at them, his eyes cast down. "Since you don't have any money, you can pay with your bodies." He looked up, opening his eyes. "That means starting today, you're the Host Club's dogs." He smirked at them.

Naruto and Haruhi turned white. 'I don't know if I can handle this, Mom…' Haruhi thought.

'I think this club is going to be the death of me… Mom, Dad, I might get to see you soon.' Naruto's thoughts nearly mirroring his friend's.

The Host Club members, noticing their dazed looks crowded them, trying to get their attention.

'We've been captured by a bunch of boys that are calling themselves a "Host Club"...'

"Poke, poke." The short, 'boy-lolita' said as he did just that.

They both fainted.

"Tamaki-kun, what's your favorite song?" One of the surrounding girls asked.

"What song? The one that reminds me of you, of course." The blond flirted.

"I baked you a cake today. Would you like to taste it?" Another asked, shyly.

Tamaki grasped her chin between his fingers, bringing his face close to her own. "If you'll feed it to me." He said into her ear, his warm breath tickling her face.

The girl's cheeks warmed. "Oh wow, you're so dreamy." She said, closing her eyes and leaning into his touch.

Tamaki Suoh: High School 2nd - Year (Host Club King)

"Tamaki-sama, I heard," A girl from beside him started. "You're keeping a couple unpedigreed little kittens?" She turned to him, revealing her sharp purple eyes and auburn hair.

"I wouldn't say kittens, more like," He paused as he saw the two draw closer. "Speak of the devils." He looked at them. "Thanks for doing the shopping little piglets." He winked. "Did you get everything on our list?"

They sweat dropped.

Haruhi Fujioka: High School 1st - Year. (Host Club Dog #1)

Naruto Uzumaki: High School 1st - Year. (Host Club Dog #2)

"What?"

"Piglet?"

They set the bags down, and the 'King' of the club looked through them. "So, what's this, then?" He asked picking up a glass jar filled with brown powder.

"Just what it looks like." Haruhi deadpanned.

"It's coffee." Naruto nearly scoffed.

"I've never seen this brand before before." He said, further investigating the container of coffee. "Is this the kind that's already ground?"

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked.

"It's instant coffee." Haruhi explained.

"Instant?" A couple girls on a couch across from the two asked, tilting their bodies to the side.

"Wow, I've heard of this before." Tamaki said in shock. "It's commoner's coffee. You just add hot water to it, right?"

More girls crowded them. "I didn't know there was such a thing," one said.

"So it's true then, poor people even have enough free time to grind their own coffee beans," Another said, and the surrounding girls nodded.

"Commoners are pretty smart," Kyouya, as the two had learned, said, impressed.

"100 grams for ¥300?" One twin asked.

"That's a lot less than we normally pay," The other continued.

"Look, We'll go back and get something else," Haruhi said, clutching his books to his chest.

"Excuse us for not buying expensive coffee…" Naruto muttered.

"No, I'll keep it." Tamaki stopped them, and the girls looked at him in confusion.

"Huh?"

"I will drink this coffee!" He stood tall and proud holding the container like it was some kind of trophy or award. The girls around him, even some of the host club clapped at his 'bravery'. "Alright Haruhi, come here and make some of this commoner's coffee.

'These damn rich people...' ' The two club 'dogs' thought to themselves as they made the instant coffee.

"Oh Tamaki, you carry this joke to far," The girl who made the kitten comment said, placing her teacup onto a saucer. "Your pallet won't be able to stomach that crap, you don't have to drink it just because they bought it."

"Huh?" Haruhi muttered while Naruto balled his fists.

"Forgive me," She said, hearing Haruhi. "I was talking to myself." She smiled a fake smile at the two 'lower-class' students.

"Uhh…" Haruhi glanced at her, and Naruto tightened his fist, his knuckles once again turning white.

"Haruhi! Naruto!"

They took one last glance at the 'princess' as the Host Club called their customers.

"We're coming," came their bored response.

Haruhi added a bit of the brown coffee powder into the teacups that were sitting on the table and Naruto poured a bit of the hot water each. They placed the coffee on a tray and held it out to the upperclassman.

"Here." Haruhi said flatly, both the first years mouths in a tight straight line.

Tamaki brought a hand to his chin. "Let the tasting begin." He announced.

Four of the girls had cups, looking anxious to drink the 'commoner's drink'. "I'm a bit nervous to drink this," One said.

"If I drink this my father will yell at me." Another said looking into the cup warily.

Tamaki cupped her face and leaned close to her, the girl's cheeks flushed. "What if I let you drank it from my mouth?" His seductive voice asked, and she tensed.

"Well then I would drink it." She said, in her trance. Surrounding girls squealed and cheered for the blond 'king' of the club with hearts in their eyes.

'This is ridiculous.' The two thought boredly as they watched the scene unfold.

Hikaru laughed with some girls at their table as he told them a story. Kaoru sat beside him blushing in embarrassment. "So he had this nightmare that made him bolt up out of bed," He explained and Kaoru jumped.

"Hikaru, don't tell them that story!" He said desperately, his cheeks flushed pink. Tears welled in his eyes, and he brought a finger to his lips. "I asked you not to tell anyone that," He turned his head away from his brother. "Why are you so mean to me?" A tear fell as he spoke.

Hikaru sat up straight. "I'm sorry, Kaoru," The girls held each other as they watched with red cheeks. Hikaru brought his brother's face close to his, light blushes dusting both of their cheeks. "I didn't mean to upset you, but you were so adorable when it happened I had to tell them. I'm sorry."

"I forgive you," Kaoru whispered breathlessly as his brother held him close.

Hikaru & Kaoru Hitachiin: High School 1st - Years (The 'Very Close' Hitachiin Twins)

The girls turned a red that would put a tomato to shame and squealed loudly. "I've never seen brotherly love quite like that!"

Haruhi walked by, sweatdropping. 'What are they so excited about? I just don't get it'

Takeshi walked into the room, with a tired looking Honey-senpai on his back like a small child. "Sorry," He yawned, rubbing his doe eyes. "We're running late."

"Hello, Honey!" One of his customers greeted. "Hey, Mori!" She greeted his taller cousin.

"We've been waiting here for you guys. Hi!" Another said.

Takeshi Morinozuka (Mori for short): High School 3rd Year

"I'm sorry," Came the lolita type's sleep-slurred response. "I was waiting for Takeshi to get out of his kendo meeting and I fell asleep." Honey explained and Mori bowed to the ladies who waited for them. Honey rubbed his eyes again. "And I still seem to be sleepy."

Mitsukuni Haninozuka ('Honey' for short): High School 3rd - Year

The girls froze, turning red before squealing. "So cute!"

Naruto watched the whole scene from a distance. "Is that boy really a 3rd year?" She muttered in disbelief.

"Honey-senpai may seem young and childish, but he's a prodigy, and then Mori-senpai's allure is his strong and silent disposition."

"Uhh…"

"Naru-chan!" Honey squealed latching onto his arm, causing him to lose his balance and spin for a moment. "Hey, Haru-chan, you wanna go have some cake with me?" He looked up at the blond with round golden brown eyes.

Naruto's head was spinning. "Thanks but I don't really like cake." He said dizzily, his body swaying with each word.

"Well, I'll let you borrow my bunny, Usa-chan!" He grinned up at the taller blond, who gave him a, dizzy, deadpanned look.

"I'm not into bunnies," He said, finally regaining his core balance.

"Are you saying you don't like Usa-chan?" Honey held up the pink bunny with tears beading in his eyes.

Haruhi walked up to them and looked at the stuffed animal.

"I-it's cute, huh?" the the two stuttered nervously, joining their conversation.

A blush appeared on Honey's face and his eyes widened, a light bulb going off in his head as he looked at them. He pushed the bunny into the brunette's arms and ran off smiling.

"Take good care of him, okay?" He said jumping onto a girl's lap, giggling.

"You'll notice that our club utilizes each man's unique characteristics to cater to the desires of our guests." Kyouya said to the two, who stood dumbfounded. "By the way, around here, Tamaki is number one, the king. His request rate is 70%."

"What's this world coming to?" The two first years asked rhetorically.

Kyouya Otori: High School 2nd - Year (Vice - President)

"By the way, with your 8 million-yen debt, you are this club's dogs until you both graduate- oh pardon me, 'Errand-boys'." They stared up at Kyouya, shocked. "You can try to run away if you want to, but my family employs an able, private police force of roughly 100." He pushed up his glasses. "By the way, do either of you have a passport?"

"Huh?" They gaped at him.

Tamaki slid beside them with smug look on his face. "You're going to have to work hard to pay off that debt, my little nerds." He teased, leaning between their heads and blew warm air in both of the boys' ears. They gasped, bringing a hand to cover their ears and moved away from the taller blond, panting as their hearts accelerated from the shock.

"Please don't do that again." Haruhi said, trying to hide the nervousness in his voice, while Naruto shivered in disgust.

"You need makeovers, you two are never going to get any girls as disheveled as you both are." He said with his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah, well I'm not trying to get any girls in the first place." They said flatly.

"Are you kidding? That's the most important thing." The king of the club told them, pulling a red rose out of nowhere. He closed his eyes as he spoke again. "You have to learn to be a gentleman and please the ladies," He posed with a seductive smile. "Like me."

"I just don't think it's all that important." Haruhi shrugged.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter either way, does it?" Naruto asked, looking at his friend.

Tamaki stumbled, his eyes widening a bit.

"Why should we care about appearances and labels anyway?"

"All that should really matter is what's on the inside, right?"

"To be honest, I don't even know why this kind of club exists." Their voices chorused, reminding Tamaki of a certain pair of twins as they mimicked each other's shrug unintentionally.

"It's such a cruel reality, isn't it?" He said earning growls from his two kohai. "It's not often that God creates a perfect person like moi, beautiful both inside and out."

They gaped at him. "Say what?"

"I understand how you both must feel, since not everyone is as blessed as I am, but you must console yourselves. Otherwise, how could either of you go on living?" They stared at him as he continued his rant. "And think about this, why do you think they put works of art in museums? Because beauty should be shared with the world, and those born beautiful should promote beautiful things-"

Haruhi looked over at Naruto, and quietly whispered to him. "There's a word used to describe people like him." Naruto nodded and they both tried to think of the proper word.

"Hmm, what is it?"

"Let's see…"

"Hmm, what was it again?"

"Here's a tip, when setting down your glass use your pinky as a cushion. That way, when you set it down, it won't make a loud clatter." Tamaki continued in the background.

"Hmm…" Naruto muttered.

"A pain in the neck?" Haruhi suggested, but Naruto shook his head.

"No," The blond sighed. "There's something more precise to describe him…"

"But above all else, Naruto, Haruhi, you must remember," He paused, leaning close to the two. "How effective a glance to the side can be." His tone deepened as he gave each a side-glance, when suddenly their heads shot up.

"I got it!" They announced, punching their flattened hand like a judge's gavel. "Obnoxious." They said, and Tamaki turned white, and sat in the corner. They stared at him. "Um… Sorry Tamaki-senpai."

The twins laughed at the blond king's expense, each resting an arm on one of the newbies' heads.

'He is a pain in the neck though…' They thought.

"Sorry senpai," They rubbed the backs of their necks sheepishly.

"It really did strike a small chord with me though." Haruhi said, causing the sulking blond to stand proud once more.

"Really? It did? Let me teach you more, my friend!" He extended a hand out to the two, sparkles flowing off of his skin.

"He got over that quick." Naruto muttered.

"Boss…?" One of the twins started.

"Call me 'King'." He said desperately, but Kaoru continued.

"You can teach them all the basics of hosting," He stopped.

"But they're not going to get very far with the ladies if they don't look the part, you know." Hikaru added. "They're not exactly Host Club material but," They twins each took hold of one of the two rookie's glasses.

"Maybe if we took off their glasses it'll help." The two said, looking at the shorter teens, their eyes widening.

"Hey! We need those, we ran out of contacts, okay?" The twins stared at the two, Kyouya, Honey, and Mori gravitating to the four 1st years.

Tamaki marched over to them with wide violet eyes, then suddenly got serious. He clicked his fingers. "Hikaru! Kaoru!" He called and they gave him a salute.

"Got it!" They each grabbed one of the boys and dragged them away.

The blond King pointed to Kyouya, who already had his phone ready. "Kyouya, phone my hair stylist." He then directed his attention to Takeshi. "Mori-senpai, go to the eye doctor and get them some contact lenses." He gave a curt nod, then ran off.

Honey popped up in front of him. "What about me, Tama-chan?" He asked grinning innocently.

"Honey-senpai,"

"Yes, Sir!"

"You… Go eat some cake."

Honey sat at a small table with Usa-chan, wrapped in gloom. "It's just us, Usa-chan. Everyone else said they were too busy…"

The twins threw the two teens into a curtained off changing room, and held boy's uniforms out to them. "Here, change into these uniforms."

Naruto and Haruhi gave them odd looks. "What?" The blond asked, tilting his head.

"Why?" Haruhi asked, loudly.

The twins took fighting stance before pouncing on them. "Don't ask questions!" They yelled before chanting, as the smaller teens struggled. "Change. Change. Change."

"Alright!" The two friends yelled. "We'll change, but you two have to get out!" They said, shoving the twins out of the changing area.

The red-headed twins stumbled before regaining their balance, preventing them from hitting the ground. They shared a surprised look, light bulbs going off in their heads.

"Um, Senpai?" The two asked from behind the curtain, the rest of the host club now gathered around the make-shift changing room.

"Aren't you two done changing yet?" Tamaki asked impatiently.

The slid the beige curtain open, revealing themselves. "Are you guys sure it's okay for us to keep these uniforms?" They asked, looking at the club members.

Tears of joy streamed down Tamaki's face, that was squeezed between his palms, as a slight blush appeared on his cheeks. "Cute…" He squealed. "You're as pretty as two girls! Adorable!" He sobbed happily at the results.

"Haru-chan, Naru-chan, you look so cute!" Honey cheered.

"If we'd known that's how you guys really look," Hikaru started.

"We would've helped you out sooner." Kaoru finished happily.

"Who knows? Maybe they'll draw in some customers," Kyouya commented.

"You know, that's just what I was thinking." Tamaki said, grinning at the two. "The errand-boys have graduated. Starting today, you are official members of host club!" He announced. "I will personally train you to be first-rate hosts. If the two of you can get 100 customers to request your services we will disolve you of your 8 million-yen debt!"

"Hosts?" They asked in disbelief, looking at each other nervously, beads of sweat pearling on their foreheads.

"So tell me Haruhi-kun, Naruto-kun, do you have any hobbies? What do you like to do?" A girl with short, light brown hair asked the new hosts.

"I'm curious, what kind of products do you use on your skin?" Another asked.

"Yeah, it's so pretty!" A girl with long black hair, agreed.

They smiled nervously, at the girls. 'I can't do this anymore! I have no idea what I'm supposed to do!' They were thinking as the girls giggled.

"So why did you join the host club, Haruhi-kun? Naruto-kun?" The four girls asked giggling again.

"Uhh," 'That's right, we only need 100 customers to request us and their forget about our debt!' Haruhi sent his blond friend a look that said 'follow my lead' before finally answering the question, while Tamaki secretly watched the two from a distance.

"I see… Your mother was sick and passed away 10 years ago… So who does the chores around the house?" One said, sympathizing with the brunette.

"Oh, I do them myself. I was taught by my mother, she was an amazing cook. When she went to the hospital she left me with a bunch of great recipes." Haruhi turned away with a slight blush as she explained to half of them.

"You never even knew your parents, only being raised by your brothers and godfather," One of their girls on Naruto's side sighed, wiping a lone tear that welled in her eye.

"Yeah, but it wasn't all bad. My godfather taught me all kinds of fighting styles. He's a world renowned martial arts master, and besides me, his only other student was my father. He claims the only reason was because I look just like he did, but I think he saw how much passion I actually have for it." Naruto smiled at the memories of training with Jiraiya.

"What about those marks on your cheeks? Are they tattoos?"

Naruto wasn't surprised by the question. "No, contrary to popular belief they're birthmarks," He took the girl's hand and brought it to his cheek. "If it were a tattoo or a scar you'd be able to feel the markings, but there's none, see?" He gave his 'signature Naruto grin' and closed his eyes. The two girls he was entertaining blushed deeply.

"You're so cute! Yet so… Oh, I can't even describe it. You're tough looking and cute all in one!" they exclaimed, hugging each other. Naruto ruffled his hair as he rubbed the back of his head, a slight pink flush appearing on his cheeks.

"So, uh…" One of the girls started.

"Is it okay if tomorrow…" Another continued.

"We, uh…"

"Requested to sit with you again?" Their cheeks were red, as the two smiled at them.

"Of course," Naruto said.

"We'd really appreciate that, ladies." Haruhi added with a smile.

"Why are they so popular?" Tamaki asked with a pout.

"They're naturals," Kyouya said.

"No training needed." The twins added.

"Have you forgotten about me, Tamaki-sama?" The auburnette beside him asked.

"Of course not, my princess," Tamaki said, sparkling. "I'm just a little concerned about our rookies."

"Well that's obvious, you sure have been keeping an eye on them quite a bit, especially the brunette."

"Of course," He explained. "I have to, I'm training them to be gentlemen, like me." He snapped his fingers, gaining the two new host's attention. "Haruhi! Naruto! Come here for a minute." He gestured for the two to come over.

"Yes?" They asked, looking down at the king seated on the lounge.

"I'd like the two of you to meet someone," He told them. He gestured to the young lady beside him. "This is my regular guest, Princess Ayanokoji."

Their eyes widened. 'It's that brat from earlier…' Naruto thought to himself, before putting on a fake smile, much like his friend.

"It's very nice to meet you, miss." They said grinning down at her.

Tamaki's face turned red. He grabbed them, hugging them to his chest and spinning. "That was so cute! That air of bashfulness was good. Really good! Amazingly good!"

"T-tamaki-sama?" Ayanokoji sweatdropped at his antics.

"M-mori-senpai! Help us!" They cried reaching for the table where he and Honey were sitting.

A glint appeared in his eyes, before an angry look flashed on his face, and suddenly the two small boys were out of Tamaki's grip and lifted into the air by Mori's strong grip, pink dusting his cheeks. Rose petals surrounded the three, and a light bulb in his head lit up.

"M-mori-senpai," Tamaki started. "You really didn't have to go that far…" He said awkwardly, as he stared at the three. "Come on little ones, let Daddy give you a big hug!" He cooed at them. Ayanokoji glared at them.

"I've already got a dad I don't need two."

"I've got two older brothers and my weirdo godfather, I don't need you too."

"Hey, Naruto!" Haruhi called.

"Yeah?"

"Where are our bags?"

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked, incredulously. "They should be right there." They turned to the window behind them, and their eyes widened in shock.

"Are you serious?!" They groaned.

"I didn't think there'd be any bullying here…" Naruto sighed.

"Yeah…Guess they're everywhere."

In the fountain below the window their bags soaked in water along with some of their other belongings.

The two teens broke into a run, trying to get to the fountain as they passed the princess from earlier. They stopped when she started talking.

"Oh, it's you two again." She said. "How nice for you, having Tamaki-sama tidy you up." She didn't look at them. "While you're at it, why don't the two of you correct your poor upbringing." Ayanokoji walked off leaving the two in the hall.

Naruto growled at her, and Haruhi put a hand on his shoulder. "Let's just get our stuff, we'll deal with her later." The blond reluctantly gave up and they continued their way down to the fountain.

"She was probably the one who did it, you know." Naruto said, going through the last of his wet belongings.

"Yeah, but right now I have to worry about finding my wallet. Otherwise I won't have money for food this week." Haruhi said, still searching the pond for his wallet.

"Hey, commoners!" Tamaki called from beside the pond fountain."You've got some nerve skipping out on club activities." He said looking between the two. Then he paused. "Why are your bags all wet?" They froze.

"Uh, it's no big deal." Naruto started.

"We just dropped them." Haruhi lied. "I just need to find my wallet…" Haruhi muttered.

Naruto watched Tamaki wade into the water, and upon hearing the splashes, saw Tamaki beside him, feeling through the water. A smirk appeared on Naruto's face, but no one noticed.

"Y-you don't have to do that, you know." Haruhi stuttered. "You'll get wet."

"A little bit of water never hurt anyone," Tamaki waved him off and continued to help. "Besides, people are always telling me I'm dripping with good looks." The blond joked. Haruhi stared in awe, and Tamaki stood up, holding up his black wallet. "This what you're looking for?" He winked at the brunette. "What's the matter? You're staring off into space." Tamaki said bending to Haruhi's height, and Naruto suppressed a giggle. "You haven't fallen for me have you?" He teased waving the wallet in the brunette's face and earned a snort from the blond, who looked away pretending he wasn't watching.

Haruhi snatched his wallet, scoffing. "No way!"

"Still, how does something like this happen anyway?" He questioned them with a serious look.

"Well, uhh…" Naruto sputtered, not wanting to say what he thought happened, leaving the answer up to his friend.

"We accidently dropped them out the window at some point."

Seeing through the obvious lie, the blond still dropped it.

"Oh really? That sounds terrible…" Ayanokoji said with false sympathy. Naruto held in a growl. "I can't imagine what I'd do if my bag fell into the pond." She said looking up from her tea.

'Why would she request us if she obviously doesn't like us?' They thought, watching her.

"You even made Tamaki-sama search that dirty old pond with you, you do realise he's a blue blood and not a commoner, don't you?" She asked rhetorically. "The only reason he's paying attention to the two of you is because he's trying to turn you into gentlemen." The two froze. "Don't start thinking he cares about either of you, just because he happens to be doting on you right now."

"Now I understand." Naruto said out of the blue."You're jealous of us, right?" Ayanokoji froze in place, her eyes wide, and the color drained from her face. There was a quick flash of movement and the two rookies stood, the table getting knocked forward in the process.

The auburnette screamed as the tea set and vase of roses fell to the floor, smashing to pieces, Haruhi landing nearly on top of her. Naruto landed beside them, some ceramic sticking into his ankles. He groaned.

"Haruhi-kun, leave me alone!" Ayanokoji yelled when things stopped falling and the table rolled away. "Somebody, help he just attacked me!" Haruhi stared at her, completely dumbfounded, but understood what she was trying to do. "Someone, do something!"

Suddenly the twins were standing over the pair, who were now soaked, with empty kettles.

"What are you doing?" She demanded. Tamaki walked over helping her up, while the twins helped Naruto. "Tamaki-sama, Haruhi-kun assaulted me."

"How disgraceful," the blond said. Haruhi stared up at him. "You're the one who threw Haruhi and Naruto's bags in the pool, aren't you?" He questioned her, his voice low.

"How can you say that!" She demanded. "Do you have any proof?"

Tamaki held her face in his palm. "You really are quite pretty," He muttered. "But you are not fit to be our guest." He said firmly. Mori and Kyouya stared at her emotionlessly, and the twins stuck their tongues out in disgust, while Tamaki glared at her. "I know this much, Haruhi and Naruto are not like that. They're not those kind of men.

"T-tamaki-sama, you idiot!" She cried, running passed him. The host club stared after her, before turning to Naruto and Haruhi.

"I'm going to decide your punishments for causing this trouble," Tamaki said. He pointed a finger at Haruhi. "Your quota is increased by 1000!" Haruhi's face twitched.

'1,000?!' He thought in disbelief.

Haruhi paused when a hand appeared in front of his face, seeing that it was connected to Tamaki.

He grabbed it and the blond pulled him up. "I'm expecting a lot from you, Natural Rookie." He said, winking at the brunette.

Kyouya held up two bags to them. "These are the only spare uniforms we have," Kyouya said as they took them, peering inside. "Still better than a wet one, though, right?"

"Thanks a lot you guys," Haruhi said.

"We're gonna go change, now." Naruto dragged the brunette back to the make-shift changing rooms.

"Haruhi? Naruto? I have some towels." Tamaki said, opening the curtain to see the two hosts, who were now clearly females - especially the other blond- and froze. He dropped the curtain, and the light bulb inside his head finally lit up. "Haruhi...Naruto…"

"Yeah?" They said, exasperated.

"So… You're both girls?"

"Biologically, yes." They answered, sliding the curtain open to reveal the two girls in the female's uniform. Tamaki screeched, scratching and ripping at his hair.

"Listen, we don't really care about whether we're recognized as boys are girls," Haruhi said, toying with the bow on her dress.

"It's more important for a person to be recognized for who they are, rather than what sex they are," Naruto added.

"Well, isn't this an interesting development," Kyouya said. Knew it from the Start.

The twins looked at each other. "Oh yeah!" They said while Mori and Honey stood silently, not looking surprised. They figured it out along the way.

Tamaki sputtered incoherently. How could he have thought otherwise?! He looked between them. Haruhi had a small cup size, so he supposed he just wasn't paying attention, but Naruto… Where was she hiding those?! She was much bigger than Haruhi, yet the dress uniform fit her perfect. He glanced at Kyouya, but turned back to face the girls has Haruhi started talking again.

"Y-you know senpai, I thought you were pretty cool earlier!" She said bashfully. The blond male's face turned red, and he used his hand in a poor attempt to cover it.

The twins laughed at him before Naruto's voice got their attention. " Thanks for your help earlier too, and for not dumping the water directly on me." She said giving the two her signature grin. Small blushes appeared on their identical faces and they turned their heads away from her, hearing her giggles.

Kyouya turned his head to face behind him. "Now, I may be wrong, but I think we may be witnessing the beginnings of love here."

"You know," Naruto said turning to her friend. "Being a host and getting fussed over by a bunch of girls may not be so bad." She said laughing. The twins and Tamaki blanched.

"But how will we pull it off?" Haruhi asked. The two stopped to think for a moment.

"I got it! From now on, we can just start using 'ore'." They said before laughing at their joke with a light pink blush dusting over their cheeks.
