Chapter 1

"Renge, I have a very important task for you."

"What is it, Nekozawa-sempie?"

"Christmas is coming up and I want you to give this charm to one of the Hitachiins as a present."

"What?"

"You heard me, this is a black magic charm. It is in the form of a bracelet. I am giving this to you because you are the closest to the host members. There's a Christmas celebration for the host club guests this year, right. It's all Christmas themed?"

"yes."

"Excellent. Here are the other gifts, they have the labels on them. Take this charm, close your eyes and put it in either the orange or blue." He handed her the trinket and she closed her eyes and put it in one of the boxes. Nekozawa then put the lids and bows on them. "Take these to them."

"Will it cause them to get hurt or seriously injured?"

"Not at all. That's not the purpose of it. When is the party?"

"This afternoon."

"Ok. Give it to them then."

"Ok. Bye." It was the day before winter break, the hosts were celebrating early so that they could enjoy Christmas together. Renge walked into the room.

"Hey, we're about to open. Get into a cosplay." Tamaki said.

"Ok. Oh, I have presents for you guys, but you'll have to wait after the club meeting."

"We'll be happy to see what it is you got us, and appreciate the thought." Tamaki was his usual self. "Get into positions. Renge, you can put the presents under the tree." Renge nodded and placed them there. She ran into the back and got on her cosplay. She came out. The guests started filing in. Everyone was doing what they usually do.


~Hikaru and Kaoru~

"We're going to our grandmother's for Christmas." Hikaru said.

"She always plans big parties. Hikaru and I have to be on our best behavior." Kaoru spoke after.

"Yea. I find it unfair too. We always sneak some sweet treat every year though."

"Hikaru would distract, while I get the sweets. We switch every year."

"This time it's your turn to distract, Kaoru. Don't be too great with the distraction, I might get distracted my self, Kaoru." Hikaru's face inched closer.

"Can I really be that distracting?" he was using his usual voice when they do their 'brotherly love' act.

"Your distracting me right now."

"Hikaru." This made the fangirls inch closer to see what would happen next.

"funny story time." Hikaru said as he turned to the ladies.

"What happened this time?" One of them asked.

"Well it was last Christmas." Kaoru's eyes got wide. "Kaoru and I went downstairs on Christmas morning. Dad was walking out of the kitchen and spilled eggnog all over him."

"Hikaru."

"It was hilarious. It was draining down his face and all over his pajamas. Dad broke out in laughter."

"Hikaru, why must you embarrass me like that? Your so mean." He inched away and had tears running down his face. He looked to the ground.

"Oh, Kaoru, I'm sorry. It was so funny and I thought you'd laugh about it. Your laugh is so cute and I wanted to hear it." Hikaru wrapped an arm around Kaoru and pulled him closer. "Your laughter makes me happy. I'm sorry. I wanted them to hear how cute it was."

"I forgive you, Hikaru." The girls sitting at the table were fangirl screaming.


~Tamaki and Kyoya~

"Hello princesses? You like Christmas cookies? Well, look no further because my best friend Kyoya and I will make some." Tamaki said. Haruhi was watching.

"The fire exits can be found in the front and back of the music room." Haruhi said.

"Haruhi, you have no faith in me do you?" Tamaki asked.

"Not really Sempie."

"Well, I'm going to prove you wrong. Ok, Kyoya, let's get started."

"Why did you drag me into this?" Kyoya asked.

"Ok, first we need flour." Tamaki started pouring flour into a measuring cup. "Put this in the bowl Kyoya." Kyoya picked up the measuring cup and started to carry it when he slipped and it spilled on him. He got up and his black hair was now white. Tamaki was laughing.

"You think it's funny, huh?" Kyoya grabbed some eggs and cracked them on his head.

"Hey!"

"Your fault for laughing." Tamaki picked up the thing of icing and took some out and put it on his face.

"Ha, take that."

"Oh no." Haruhi said and she looked away. Kyoya looked angry at first, then calmed down. He grabbed the sprinkles and opened them and poured them all over Tamaki.

"There, now all you need is some icing and some flour, then you could be a Christmas cookie." Kyoya said. He grabbed the bag of flour and poured it all on Tamaki.

"If you're going to be that way. Fine." He grabbed an egg and threw it at Kyoya and it landed right on his shirt. Kyoya grabbed some icing and put it on Tamaki's face. They both started throwing baking stuff at eachother until they ran out. They looked at eachother. Then broke out in laughter. "We're a mess."

"You're insane. Haruhi, clean this up." Haruhi lowered her head and got a broom. The two friends walked out to get cleaned up. Kaoru walked over.

"Hey, you want help?" He asked.

"No, I got it."

"I insist." He grabbed a washcloth and started cleaning up the egg mess. Hikaru came over to help and they finished cleaning.


~Hunni and Mori~

Hunni was wolfing down sweets.

"Mitsukuni." He swallowed.

"Yea?"

"Need something to drink?"

"Yes please."

"Hmm." Mori got up and walked over to the small kitchen that was put in there by Tamaki.

"Well, Hunni, what do you think?" Asked one of their fangirls.

"They are all delicious. Thank you for bringing these in for me."

"We all know how much you like sweets."

"They are sweet, but not as much as you ladies. You are the strawberries on top of the cake. I love strawberries."

"So cute!" The fangirls were smiling. Mori walked back and handed him the milk.

"Here Mitsukuni. I know milk goes great with chocolate."

"Thank you so much, Takashi. I'm glad I have you looking out for me."

"Of course." He said.

"So, what do you think Renge-chan got us, for Christmas? Do you think it could be something sweet?"

"Who knows?" Takashi asked. Haruhi walked over.

"Hey, Hunni-sempie. We have some left over frosting. Want it? Tamaki-sempie and Kyoya-sempie won't be using it after all."

"Sure, I'll take it. Thank you Haru-chan."

"your welcome, Hunni-sempie."


The club soon was closed.

"Renge, why don't you pass out the presents to them?" Tamaki suggested.

"Ok." She nervously walked over to the tree and grabbed one of the presents. Each host brought one in for everybody. "This one goes to Haruhi." She handed it to her. It is a custom in Japan not to open the present in front of the person who gave it to you. "This one is for Kyoya." The presents all went to the hosts, every person got seven presents.

"Thank you everyone." Kaoru said gratefully.

"You're welcome Kaoru." Haruhi said.

"Yea, everyone here is a family, family gets gifts for family. Hope you all enjoy your presents and hopefully we'll be able to all get together for a Christmas party on Christmas. Or at least celebrate the New Year." Tamaki said.

"Well said, Tama-chan." Hunni-senpai said, raising Usa-chan in the air.


They all left and went home. Hikaru and Kaoru opened their presents. They pulled out identical bracelets.

"Looks like it will be even harder for people to tell us apart." Hikaru said.

"Yea." Kaoru put his on. "The gem is really weird. It's an orange crystal now. It changed from white to orange."

"Weird, mine didn't do that. Maybe yours is kind of like one of those mood rings."

"Yea. Haruhi had one. Hers turns keeps turning red."

"I think red stands for annoyed."

"Makes sense." Kaoru started feeling tired. "That party really wore me out."

"Me too."

"I think I'll go to bed early. Good night."

"Good night. I'll be up in a few."

"Kay." He grabbed his presents and carried them upstairs and put them in a corner. He climbed into bed. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep. Hikaru walked into the room. He smiled at his brother.

"Sleep well Kaoru." He got into the bed next to him and fell asleep as well.


The next morning, the twins woke at the same time. They both got up and stretched the same way as always. They both got changed and went down stairs.

"It's so great to have a nice vacation from school." Kaoru said.

"You said it, Kao. Shall we go and convince our little toy to come over?"

"Ok." Kaoru looked out the window. "Hmm, it snowed."

"How much!?" Hikaru was at the window in seconds. "Darn, doesn't look like enough to have a snow ball fight."

"It's still snowing. Give it a few hours and it should be enough to have a snowball fight."

"Ok, in the mean time, let's get Haruhi."

"Ok." They moved from the window and were about to head out.

"Hold it you two." They turned around and saw their mother. "Put on your coats and hats first. Don't want to get sick."

"Yes mom." Yuzuha smiled and went to her office. They grabbed their coats and hats and went out to the limo.

"To Haruhi's apartment, please." Hikaru told the driver.

"Yes sirs." They made it to the apartments and went up to Haruhi's apartment. Her dad answered the door.

"Oh, the Hitachiin boys. Are you looking for Haruhi?" Ranka asked.

"Yes, we were wondering-" Hikaru started

"-If she'd like to visit our house." Kaoru finished.

"Oh, let me go fetch her, come in out of the cold for a moment." They stepped in. Ranka went into the other room and soon came out with Haruhi.

"Hey Haruhi." They spoke in unison. "Want to come over to our house for a bit? We were planning on having a snow ball fight later."

"Ok." Haruhi agreed

"Great." They spoke in unison again.

"Haruhi, don't forget your coat." Ranka told her, like any worried parent would.

"Kay, Dad." She got her coat and they went to the limo.

"Bye, Haruhi!"

"Bye." They went inside the limo and went to the Hitachiin mansion. "So, why did you invite me over?"

"You're the most fun out of the hosts." Hikaru said.

"Really?"

"Yep. Hikaru and I enjoy hanging out with you." Kaoru spoke this time. They entered the mansion.


~Somewhere else~

"Renge, you did well." Nekozawa said

"How do you know I managed?"

"I can see it from my crystal ball, come with me." Renge followed Nekozawa into the back room. He showed her a crystal ball. She saw everything that was going on. "I believe, it got it's way to young Kaoru. The youngest of the twins and of the host club."

"What will the bracelet do?"

"It will slowly push back time until he's a small child. His memories will start to change. His hair will get shorter, his height will get shorter. First, his memories, then his height and hair length. When he wakes up the next morning, he will be the equivalent of a 5 year old child."

"Will he be able to change back?"

"Yes, once the charm is turned off, by me."

"What have I done?"

"This was perfect for research on this cursed charm. I can make more."

"This is really bad. I need to figure out how to stop this."

"You may leave now, Renge." Renge left.
