Ouran Host Club is open for business.

"Haru-channnn~" Honey-senpai said, and ran to Haruhi and almost knocked her over in a hug. "When is your friend coming? Is she nice~? Does she like cake~?"

Haruhi tried to keep her balance. "I don't know, Honey-senpai. She should be here in a little while, I'm sure. And maybe she likes cake.. you'll have to ask her" Haruhi politely pushed Honey off.

Kyoya pushed up his glasses with his middle finger, and looked at Haruhi. "I did some research on your friend, there"

Haruhi sighed. "Of course you did, Kyoya-senpai"

Kyoya smirked, and glanced at the laptop he was previously typing on. "So, she had been starting her own business at just the young age of 12, right? By 15, she had already developed a software and gaming company, and owns gaming stores all around Japan, plus a few random stories that are focused on many other things?"

Haruhi blinked, she didn't even know the intricate details like he did. "I suppose so.. she never really talked about all that around friends. Around people, she acts like a normal person"

Tamaki had been watching from his place on the couch, he had been staring at the door, waiting for the girl to come in so he could be the first to greet her. The Hitachiin twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, were both beside him, fighting for the spot to be the first to greet her. "Wait! So she acts like any normal commoner!" Tamaki looked horrified.

Kyoya looked at his moronic best friend. "That must be a tough feat to accomplish, with the networth this young lady has gotten"

Haruhi looked absolutely unamused, and was about to interject but the door to the room swung open. A girl, looked 17 with long black hair pulled up into a high ponytail on the top of her head and deep violet eyes stepped in. She was wearing a simple t-shirt and capri pants, nothing like a business woman would wear.

"Haruhi-san~" She said with a bright smile.

Tamaki and the twins all crowded around her, and made her look uncomfortable.

Tamaki held out a rose. "Welcome to the Ouran Host Club, Minamoto-san~"

She took it, reluctantly, it seemed. "Please, just call me Azumi. No need to be formal"

The twins both looked at each other, then at Tamaki, then at Azumi. Each twin linked an arm with hers, and Hikaru took the rose and tossed it over his shadows, letting it fall to the floor. "Sorry about him, he's so forward~"

"And you're not being forward..?" Azumi thought to herself, but of course stayed polite.

"Come on, let her walk in and get used to the place before you attack" Haruhi said, but it sounded like a demand.

Azumi wiggled herself free and stepped into the middle of the room, her hands on her hips as she examined the place. "This isn't a half bad place.. very nice"

Kyoya had been watching her since she walked in. In his mind, gears were turning and he was thinking about how getting closer to this girl could mean good things for the Ootori family. Obviously, she knew what she was doing and was successful in her line of work. It doesn't take a genius to know that Kyoya ought to have some relationship with her.

"I'm glad to see it's to your liking, Azumi-san" Kyoya gave her a sweet smile, and she raised an eyebrow.

"The Shadow King.." She glanced at Haruhi, and back at Kyoya. "I know you, you're Kyoya Ootori. Your family deals with the medical field, right?"

"Yes, so you've heard of me?" He held his clip board to his chest, and the others looked on to their conversation.

"I have. From Haruhi, and many others" She turned, and looked at Honey. "You're Mitsukuni, am I right?" She smiled, and Honey had a slice of cake in his hands.

"That's me~! Do you like cake?" He held the strawberry topped slice of cake up to her, and she chuckled.

"Yeah, I like cake" She took the slice, and was pulled over to a table near the window where Takeshi had been sitting quietly, keeping to himself.

Kyoya watched her be pulled away, right in the middle of their conversation. The way it had played out, made him think she must know about the way he works. He turned to Haruhi, who just stood there silently, glad their attention was off her for the time being.

"Haruhi, can I talk to you for a moment?" Kyoya said, as he pushed his glasses up onto his face again, the light made them flash.

"Hmm?" Haruhi looked up. "Oh, sure senpai" She walked over to him, waiting to see what he had to say to her.

"Have you told Miss. Azumi about me? It seems as though she's known me from a specific source" He had his usual expression on his face, and Haruhi looked somewhat confused.

"Well, yeah, of course I've told her about you, I told her about everyone. I figured it'd make her more comfortable if she knew something about everyone. Is there something wrong, senpai?" Haruhi looked as innocent as she usually did.

Kyoya gave her a smile. "No, nothing is wrong. I was only curious" He looked over at Azumi, who was eating the strawberry off her cake slice.

"Hmm.. this girl knows about me. I'll have to change her mind" Kyoya sat down at his laptop, and started clacking away at his keyboard. In his mind, he was thinking of ways to get closer to the girl, there was no way he'd pass up a chance to get some recognition from his father.

"I'm glad to see I'm so welcomed here~" Azumi said, once she swallowed the strawberry.

Tamaki went over to her, and gave her his famous side glance. "But of course a friend of Haruhi's would be fully welcomed into our little group~ We're happy to have you here"

Azumi chuckled, she wasn't phased like the other girls were with his handsome tactics, and just thought he was being funny. In her mind, she was saying how she could tell this Tamaki fellow was kind of an idiot.
