"So he really said that to you?" Haruhi's friend Kitsune asked. Kistune has been Haruhi's friend since middle school and the only friend that has really kept in touch. Wanting to know everything that's going on with Haruhi's life. Actually, more like meddling in her life.

"Yeah. But it's no big deal. It really shouldn't matter that I'm a girl." Haruhi huffed as she looked through her suitcase. Kistune smiled.

"It doesn't. I believe that boys want to believe that they are the superior ones over girls." Kitsune said. She leaned against the dresser. "And they'll try to make any girl who threatens that logic believe that as well by calling it common sense."

Haruhi sighed and laid on the bed. "That's a good point. But it doesn't give him any excuse to act like that."

Kitsune walked over to the opposite side of the bed and looked down at Haruhi. "Yes. But you can't ignore the fact that he saved your life."

"Of course I can't. That was really nice of Sempai. I just wish he didn't use it to his advantage." Haruhi said. Kitsune nodded then looked at her watch.

"I need to get Lady Martika's room. She's helpless without me. But here's some advice: Tease him a little. If he tries to talk to you, then remind him of what he said." Kitsune said. She patted Haruhi on the head.

"Thanks." Haruhi smiled. Then she frowned. "My dad replaced all my clothes again."

"Hm. Wear the pink dress." Kitsune smiled at Haruhi's face. "It'll look cute."

Kitsune stopped by the door. "And also, it wouldn't kill you to learn some kind of defense. I'd hate to find out that you're in the hospital because you couldn't defend yourself."

"Yeah." Haruhi said. She was kind of surprised. Kitsune was always there to say something that usually agreed with Haruhi because they were so much a like. Not much on the outside, but on the inside. And to hear that from Kitsune, it might not be much of a bad idea.


Kitsune walked out of the room and turned to go to the elevators. She was stopped around the corner by a figure. She didn't need to look up to see who it was though.

"Thank you for that. Here's your money." Kyouya held the money in front of her.

Kitsune laughed and looked up at him. "Don't mock me. I didn't do that for money. I did it because I believed it. But I do think that your friend went about it the wrong way."

With that, she left him there standing with an eyebrow raised. The likeness between her and Haruhi was undeniable yet very unbelievable.


Kyouya left the room along with leaving Haruhi and Tamaki alone. Hopefully the idiot doesn't mess this up. It'll hurt the Host Club's financial business if those two were still mad at each other after this trip.

He walked down the hall and turned the corner. He stopped when he saw Kitsune leaning against the wall. She looked up when he stopped with a grin on her face.

"She surprised you didn't she?" Kitsune said. Kyouya just looked at her. "She does that to everyone now and again."

"Yes. She had a very interesting idea." Kyouya said.

"Hm. And she was right. You would gain nothing from sleeping with her. Just the satisfaction of the sex. But even that's an iffy." Kitsune said to him. Now Kyouya was surprised by her.

"Yes, I am a commoner Mr. Ootori and most likely this won't be the last time you will see me even though I wish." Kitsune said.

"And why would you think that I wish that this is the last time?" Kyouya asked her. Kitsune looked away from him.

"I never said that you would. You did that on your own." And once again, Kitsune left Kyouya standing alone. However, she stopped only a few feet away. "Haruhi's scared of storms. I don't think your screwball will screw up too badly." Then she left.

"What an interesting girl. In her own way." Kyouya said as he realized that Kitsune and Haruhi were not exactly the same.
