Hikaru wasn't really paying attention to the lord, as he sat next to Kaoru. His head was pounding from a hard day's work at the Host club and his brother most likely felt the same.
Impressing women has your job cut out for you. Those Ouran girls were so crazy!
"So, in conclusion, I'm going to ask Haruhi to the dance at our country club." The lord spoke, smiling happily.
Hikaru's ears perked up at this, suddenly sitting up straight and the aching in his head disappeared; now all he could think of was what Haruhi's reply would be...
"Oh, but my lord, don't you think you're a little too old for her?" He diverted, trying keep the anger from his voice.
"No, not really Kaoru, do you think I'm too old for her?"
Twitching, he looked at Tamaki like he was an idiot.
"I'm HIKARU, my lord!" He yelled, piercing Tamaki's ears.
Hikaru didn't like to be confused with his brother, although being the twins that they were, it was understandable, there was only one person that could tell them apart, and she was Haruhi.
"My apologies, Hikaru."
"No sweat, my lord." He sat down but was still a little irritated.
"So, uhh... does anyone know where Haruhi is?" Tamaki questioned, giving them his boyish smile.
Honey looked up from the large piece of cake that was all over his round face, "I think she's outside enjoying the fresh air."
"Good, I'll go ask her now." Tamaki grinned again, getting up from his seat on the couch and heading out the door.
"Shouldn't we follow him?" Hikaru questioned, finding an excuse to make sure that Haruhi didn't accept.
"I believe we should." Kyoya answered, pushing his glasses up the ridge of his nose with his index finger.
Breathing a sigh of relief, He walked alongside his brother, following closely behind the lord.
Meanwhile...
Haruhi sat under the shade, reading a book to herself, when she heard somebody shout her name. Knowing it was probably one of her friends, or a fangirl, she continued reading. She hated being interrupted, as it was just getting to the good part, too.
"HARU-CHAN!!!!!!!!" Honey's familiar voice shouted, giving up trying to ignore them, she slowly placed her book down, eyes widening as Hikaru and Tamaki ran towards her at the speed of light.
"HA-RU-HIIIIII!" Tamaki shouted, sprinting across the courtyard.
"HARUHI!" Hikaru shouted, running with his arm outstretched.
What do these rich bastards want now? She closed the book that she was reading and waited for them to come up to her. She had just gotten to the good part too.
"Will...you ... go ...to ... the... dance..." Tamaki began, before Hikaru urgently pushed him out of the way.
"Areyougoingtothedanceatthecountryclub?" Hikaru finished all in one breath. He was panting as he looked up at Haruhi.
"Err... I'm not really a dance person," Haruhi answered quickly eyeing the book in her hand.
Hikaru suddenly felt better, she wasn't going to the dance so there was no chance that she was going with Tamaki. He grinned.
"What if I got you a dress to wear? Would you go with me then?" Tamaki tried again, looking at her expectantly.
" I'm not so poor that I couldn't afford my own clothing, Tamaki-sempai " She said with a hint of annoyance, getting up from her spot and walking away slowly.
"HARUHI! Stop!" Tamaki decided to try again, persistently running after her, and placing one hand on her shoulder.
"P... p... please?" Tamaki wasn't one used to saying please, so it took him awhile to get it out.
Hikaru looked at the two of them, his smirk fading away. He frowned at Tamaki's hand on Haruhi's shoulder. The Ouran girls noticed.
"Kawaii! Haruhi-san is the love of Tamaki-kun's life!!!!!!!! KAWAIIIII MOE !!!" dozens of girls screamed.
Haruhi stared nervously at the adoring fans. If they won't leave me alone then I'll get some reading done at home. She thought to herself, wandering off towards home, Honey and Mori following after her.
Tamaki stared after Haruhi while Hikaru glared at the back of Tamaki.
"Tono, why are you asking your daughter to the dance?"
"To protect her from horny teenage boys like YOU!" He retorted.
"ME, HORNY?! You're a friggin horny volcano waiting to explode, all over poor Haruhi!"
"I'm NOT horny!"
"Oh yeah, fine you're an old FART!" Hikaru yelled, practically roaring.
"I'm not an old fart! Haruhi, tell Hikaru you'll go with daddy and that Daddy isn't an old horny fart."
"NO, Haruhi should go with me, and you're an old fart!"
"Haruhi?" Tamaki turned to the spot Haruhi was sitting in a couple of minutes ago, to find she had disappeared. "Haruhi!?"
"She went off with Mori-sempai and Honey-sempai a few moments ago," Kyoya informed them, standing in the corner with Kaoru, listening to their argument.
"TAMAKI, I'LL GO WITH YOU TO THE DANCE!!!!" A dozen girls squealed, as they watched the argument.
"Thank you for the offer fair princesses, but I will get back to you tomorrow at the host club! Farewell my beautiful princesses." Tamaki smiled as walked away calmly.
"AHHHHHHH Tamaki-kun is so handsome!!!!!" The girls screamed.
Tamaki made his way towards the parking lot to go find Haruhi.
He wondered where she could have gone, yelling to his limo driver to drive around town.
Meanwhile...
"Hello? Honey-sempai, do you know where Haruhi is ?" Hikaru asked, speaking into his cell phone.
"HIKA-CHAN! Haru-chan, Takashi, and I are at a park for commoners! There's a lot of children and ICE CREAM!"
"Which park?"
"The one near Haru-chan's house! "
"Thank you, Honey-sempai."
"You're welcome, HIKA-CHAN!"
'That was too easy. Dumb Tono decided to drive around town to look.' Hikaru smirked, walking with his brother and Kyoya to the parking lot to get their own limo. Although Tamaki got good grades, Hikaru was right about a few things. Using logic just wasn't Tamaki's specialty.
When they arrived at the park...
"Haruhi, will you go with me to the dance?" Hikaru asked. He had made a pact that he wouldn't give up unless he lost the date to someone else.
"I'm sorry, Hikaru. I don't really feel like going with a date, but I will attend. Honey-sempai talked me into it."
'I still have a chance to dance with her, then. I bet she'll look kawaii in one of my designs... (Hikaru mind theater)'
Suddenly, Honey-sempai interrupted his Haruhi filled thoughts.
"Have some ice cream." Honey offered, holding up a cone to Hikaru, while Haruhi reached for it. It was the last cone, and Haruhi wasn't really paying attention, as she read her book.
Her hands gently brushed against Hikaru, who felt overjoyed as goose bumps fell upon him.
"Oh, so sorry, Haru-chan, but this is the last cone." Honey broke the silence, a slight frown forming on his face.
"Oh, then you can have it, Haruhi." Hikaru offered.
"No, you can have it. I've had one already." Haruhi took her hand off Hikaru's, reluctantly.
"I have an idea, you guys can SHARE it!" Honey gave a mischievous grin.
Hikaru gave a light shrug, and let Haruhi have the first lick. Just as Hikaru leaned in to have a lick...
"MMMMMMMMM YUMMY!" Tamaki suddenly came out of nowhere, devouring the entire ice cream cone, before Hikaru could have at it. "AAAAAAAHHHH, BRAIN FREEZE!"
"Do you even have a brain, tono?!" Hikaru yelled, just inches from Haruhi's face. Realizing this, a slight blush broke across his face.
Silence followed until Honey blurted out, "So do we all have dates for the dance at the country club this Friday?" Honey asked.
Suddenly the anger Hikaru had disappeared. He suddenly remembered his pledge and why he had followed Haruhi to the park in the first place.
