Haruhi's Motive

Hey everyone. First fanfic, enjoy! R&R please!! Hope you like it!

Haruhi's POV

I have always known about everything. It was really obvious that Tamaki liked me but didn't realize it. As a matter of fact, I always knew that everyone liked me. The only reason I pretend to be stupid is because then it doesn't really hurt anyone. Then I don't have to choose who I'll be with. Then I don't have to make the others feel hurt over me. Because it would be really stupid for a long-standing friendship like that of the host club to be broken because of a GIRL.

As for Arai-kun, Kassanoda-kun, and every other guy who asked me out, I rejected them because I liked them as friends, nothing more. I hate the way I always say no, and then the guys go all spiral- eyed and fall on the floor. It almost hurts how stupid they think I am. Almost. They ask me out, I turn them down, in a way that sounds like I'm clueless as to what's going on. Like if someone says, "I like you... a lot." I would say, "I like you a lot too! You're a great friend!" And they do the whole spiral-eyed fall on the floor routine.

But I think part of the reason I say no is because I don't want them to hurt me. Besides, friendships outlive stupid, lovey- dovey relationships, right? I want to be with someone... I just don't know who.

Of course, sometimes, no one gets this. They just assume I'm blunt. That's not true at all. Maybe sometimes I make quick comments that start things like the whole "Hikaru/Kaoru Fight." But for the most part, I don't like to beat around the bush, or mince words. If you ask me something, I'll give it to you straight. Hey, honesty is the best policy!

I will find my prince someday, as corny as that sounds. I just don't want to be in a "fake" relationship. You know where two people are "going out," but only because they want to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Those are the relationships I would be in if I went out with anybody that has ever asked me. They would be happy, but I doubt I would be. Because if I met my "prince" while I was with someone else, then I would have to deal with the whole "breaking-up" thing, and I hate hurting other people's feelings. Oh, god, I've been thinking this whole time, and haven't been listening to Kyoya talk at all!

Ominous Person's (Narrator's) POV

"Nee, Haruhi... have you been paying attention?" Asked Hikaru and Kaoru as they wrapped their arms around her waist in an all-too-familiar gesture.

"MOTHER! GET THE INCESTUOUS TWINS OFF OUR POOR DARLING DAUGHTER!" Tamaki wailed.

"Anyways, as I was saying, Haruhi, we will be taking a required trip to Switzerland so we can go skiing together," Kyoya cut in smoothly.

Damn rich bastards. Why do we need to go anywhere? Aloud, Haruhi asked, "Ano... Kyoya-senpai, why?"

"Because it will promote club unity." Kyoya stated simply, and scribbled yet another note in his black notebook of secrecy.

"And how am I going to get there?"

"On an airplane of course."

Haruhi smacked her head, "No, how will I pay to get there?"

"This is an all expenses paid vacation," Kyoya smirked.

"What's the catch, senpai?"

"Your debt will be increased to accommodate your hotel room, meals, ski rentals... and everything else." Kyoya stated simply.

"I suppose this is a required club activity, right?"

"Of course."

"So, there's no possible way I can not go?"

"Correct."

"But, I can't ski at all."

Start Tamaki Inner Mind Theater

3...2...1...

"Oh Tamaki-senpai, Haruhi is scared! Haruhi is afraid she will hurt herself." Tears glimmered in her beautiful chocolate orbs.

"Never fear, dear princess, Tamaki will protect you!

End Tamaki Inner Mind Theater

"Our lord is thinking gross thoughts again! He has that look in his eye..." Hikaru smirked, trying to prod Tamaki even further.

"I know, what a pervert!" Kaoru giggled, watching Tamaki's head swell red with anger.

As soon as Tamaki heard this, he jumped up from his chair and said,"YOU HORRID TWINS!! IS IT SO WRONG FOR A FATHER TO WANT TO PROTECT HIS DAUGHTER?"

"But your not her father." Hikaru and Kaoru pointed out.

And with that comment, Tamaki flew into his Corner of Doom at top speed and began drawing doom swirls on his wall.

"Fine, I'll go" Haruhi sighed, not that I have a choice, she added darkly.

"Excellent!" Kyoya stated, closing his notebook of secrets with a final snap.

All right! I would love to go skiing in Switzerland! It would be so cool!! Anyways... what did you think? Yeah, I know everyone was OOC, but hey this is my story. It can be as OOC as it wants to be! So there! So... I have no idea who Haruhi is gonna get with... so please vote. The only person off limits is Honey-senpai, but every one else is okay! (Yes, the voting is actually a trick to get you to review, but whatever...) I won't continue this story unless I get 3 reviews. (Keeping it a nice, low, practical number... just in case...) I love you!! xoxo
