I love my readers!

The reviews were awsome and there was a question of if any other Naruto characters would appear in this fic and to be perfectly honest... I'm not sure yet.

:P

But there might be. I know there are a few situations where a Naruto character or two would fit in with the humor but not so much the drama.

We'll all just have to wait and see.

Another question was why I didn't put it under Naruko if Naruto is a girl.

There's two reasons for that. The first is that Naruto's name means fishcake and I think it's funny for a girl to be named after a topping that goes with ramen because anyone who's read or watched Naruto knows ramen is almost the only thing he'll eat.

The second reason is plain and simple...

I just didn't want to. :P

On to chapter 2.


Chapter Two Past? Scars? KISS?

Naruto hurried from her last class to the clubroom at the end of the South Hall in Ouran Academy. She sighed looking down at her watch, relieved that she was a couple minutes early rather than late.

If she'd been late at all, she knew she'd never hear the end of it.

She opened the door expecting to see the clubroom and the guys in their uniforms like normal... As normal as the Host Club can be anyway. But instead, she found herself in a tropical paradise.

Palm trees and wild-life included.

"What the heck... ?"

Just to be sure, Naruto leaned back out the doors to check the room's label above her.

Third music room. CHECK.

She straightened back up and looked in front of her and blinked.

"I'm confused." She mumbled to herself, closing the door behind her and taking a look around before checking the date on her watch. "Isn't it supposed to be April..."

"Ah, Naruto, there you are." Kyouya said coming almost out of nowhere, wearing some kind of tropical island wear. "Haruhi's not with you?"

"She's not here yet?" Naruto questioned. "She must have gone to one of the quieter libraries for some last minute studying."

"Seems she'll be a bit late then." Kyouya said pushing his glasses upward. "Well, since you're here, you can go change into your tropical wear. You'll be taking the sort of role of an injured warrior still ready to fight, as Tamaki put it. There's bandaging to cover your chest as the 'injury'. Should you need any help, just ask."

"Okay."

Kyouya waited outside the changing curtain just in case as Naruto changed.

"Um... Kyouya-senpai..." Naruto said a bit quietly.

Kyouya found it a bit unusual to her open outspoken nature, but said nothing about it, "Having trouble?"

"Umm... I need more bandages... Just a couple though."

Kyouya raised an eyebrow confused. "There was enough bandaging you bind your chest and broaden your curves enough to pass you off as a boy without completely covering your torso." Kyouya stated.

"I-It's not that... um..."

Getting a bit impatient, Kyouya went in to see the problem for himself. What he found, surprised him enough for him to show it. Standing there staring with wide eyes.

Naruto jumped and turned to keep her back from his view when he walked in only to mentally curse forgetting he'd see it anyway with the mirror behind her. She stood facing him with her arms at her sides, white bandaging hiding her natural shape successfully but still showing her lower back and abdomen criss-crossing up over her chest and over her shoulders, while her own aquatic-green jewel necklace hung around her neck where it belonged, and wearing the cream colored capris and the white cloth with yellow and red diamond shape trimming hanging from her hips with a red sash to keep it together.

However, in the mirror, peaking out a bit near her sides over her shoulder blades, were a couple of mostly hidden red ink markings alined with gold and barely noticable black.

Kyouya's wide eyes slowly went back to normal. "You have a tattoo..."

"Yeah... It's not like some big secret, but it would be bad for the customers I have today to see them right? And the school board may disapprove. Makeup will do too, I guess, since they're only showing a little."

"I see..." He said calmly. "So you were in the fire."

"What?" Naruto questioned him with a look surprise.

"I'd found a couple news articles of the fire your parents had died in when I checked your background." Naruto scowled and looked ready to cuss him out when Kyouya said, "Don't look so upset. I check the backgrounds of everyone I meet and anyone who may be important. The articles informed me that the apartment complex you and your family were living in burned down and that your parents weren't the only ones to perish in the fire. That many hadn't been able to escape without severe burns except a little girl. They said that it was a miracle how she had such a small amount of burns by the time the firemen found her compared to the others found alive before her..."

"Yeah... I just needed a way to hide or remove my scars." Naruto said. "With Uncle Ryouji's permission, after pulling some money together as well as to make due for an old favor, we were able to get me a pair pheonix wing tattoos from a friend of Ryouji's last year for my birthday. This friend, who's son is a friend of mine as well, once went to medical school for surgeon works before fallowing his passion in body-art. So my tattoos are so well done, it looks as if the scars were never there. Tattoos were the best choice since we obviously wouldn't be able to afford the surgery for scar removal."

"Actually, the school, though some would disapprove, would say it can't be helped seeing as it was there before you came here and would be fine with it due to your reasons. It would probably be a better idea to let the chairman know though. I'll set up a meeting for you tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Also, showing the tattoos could possibly heighten your popularity as a host. Your birthmarks are a fine example. Showing some skin, alone, proves popular with the ladies. Skin with markings such as birthmarks or tattoos may make them feel more closer to you knowing you have it. Especially if you explain the reasoning behind it since they already know of the fire." Kyouya said walking up to her and stood behind her with his own back facing the mirror. "We'll fix your bandages so that your tattoos show for the most part but still enough to hide your shape."

Naruto nodded, unable to say anything as her face started to fell a little heated feeling Kyouya's fingers work with the bandaging alongside her own.

"By the way, I'm curious about that necklace you're wearing." Kyouya said. "It looks rather expensive."

"As far as I know, it's more than this enitre school three times over." Naruto said honestly.

Kyouya paused in his work out of surprise before continuing, "Where did you get something like that?"

"I actually won it in a bet when I was twelve against an old friend of my parents and godfather." Naruto said with a light laugh. "She's my godmather actually but she travels a lot and both she and Jiraiya thought it best I live with Haruhi and Ryouji as they're my family by blood."

"Tsunade Gamasennin." Kyouya noted. "Jiraiya Gamasennin's ex-wife although she kept the name."

"Yeah, although, technically she's not an ex-wife seeing as they never divorced." Naruto said. "Like I said, she just travels a lot in her medical retirement, even though she's still works in the medical bussiness quite a lot. According to hospital records, she's retired, but she works more along the lines as a traveling doctor. A little strange sure, but it makes her happy. So does gambling even though her losing streak gave her the unavoidable nickname, 'the Legendary Sucker'."

Kyouya chuckled. "What did you bet?"

"That I couldn't learn how to fight with a weapon within a week." Naruto said proudly.

"And you won."

"Yep."

"What can you fight with?"

"Well the bet was over learning with a pair of nunchakus." Naruto slightly shivered at the memory. "Boy did those sting. But after a view years I grew into learning with tonfa and bokuto as well."

"I see. There."

Naruto turned to face him and thank him for the help but the words escaped her when she found how close they were. Kyouya was silent as well... for a moment.

'I never realized how much more taller than me he is.' Naruto thought. 'And he so well muscled underneith the Ouran uniform. Not bulging muscles, of course, but not twig-like in the least... His eyes... They look so deep for someone so serious most of the time.'

'She's so... petite...' Kyouya found himself thinking as he stared down at the whisker-faced blonde. 'To think such a small body went through so muchand she can hide it so well. Her skin looks so soft, I want to... Wait, what am I doing? '

Kyouya cleared his throat, snapping them both out of their stupor. The top of Naruto's cheeks turned a light pink before she looked down, seeming to find something interesting about the floor.

"Um, I'll let you get back to dressing. You only have the forearm braces, ankle bracelets, and earrings left." Kyouya said hurrying out.

The black haired boy in glasses combed his fingers though his hair from outside the changing curtain and sighed to calm himself down. It confused him as to what just happened and why he was reacting so strangely before getting back to his club duties.

Naruto herself shook her head as if to clear it, although her cheeks were still a bit flushed, and continued dressing.

A couple minutes later, Naruto came out. Her bandages were fixed so that her shape was hidden, the top and about one-fouth of her tattoo was showing as well as her lower back and abdomen like before, and, instead of the bandages wrapping over her sholders, they wrapped around the back of her neck, making the bandaging look a little like a body-shaped necklace. She had golden braces on that covered her forearms from wrist to a an inch or two below the elbows, on each of her ankles were two golden rings that jingled when she walked, and her earrings were each a dime-sized diamond-shaped ruby with three needle-like pieces of gold dangling from the bottom of the four points of the ruby.

Haruhi had come in just as bewildered as she had been before a tucan landed on her head.

"Naru-chan, you look great!" Honey exclaimed from where he sat on Mori's shoulders as they ran by.

"Ah, our injured warrior graces us with her presence." Tamaki said with a smile just before the doors opened again.

The Host Club welcomed their customers with ready smiles.

"How cruel." Tamaki said to his guests gently lifting the chin of one of the girls. "Even with such skin of ivory and with this ceremonial dress fit for an island king, I'm no mare than a slave to my goddess."

"Tamaki..." The girl sighed happily.

"Wow..." The other girls sighed.

Naruto shook her head while Haruhi looked unimpressed as they served some drinks and snacks before their own customers arrived.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention to you ladies," Tamaki said, "Next week, the Ouran Host Club is having a party."

"Party?" Naruto and Haruhi questioned.

"What kind of party is it going to be?" One of the guests at the twins' table asked.

"Will it be formal?" Asked the other.

"Yes. In fact, we've rented the school's largest hall in the Cental Building." Hikaru said.

"It's the perfect place for dancing." Kaoru said.

Hikaru stood next to his brother's seat and lifted his chin saying, "But I really wanted to spend such time alone with you, Kaoru."

"Don't be upset Hikaru," Kaoru said, "I wanted that too..."

"Kyaa! Brotherly love is beautiful with a tropical feeling!" The girls cried with red faces.

"Ta-da!" Honey shouted standing in front of him and Mori's guests with a ring of red flowers around his neck.

"Honey's so cute!" The girls cheered in unison.

"Thank you. We had these flowers flown in just for this. Takashi!" Honey shouted to the senior who'd walked over carrying a pineapple before Honey, literally, crawled up Mori's body and put a ring of red flowers around his neck as well. "There, we match!"

Both girls sighed, one feeling faint.

'Haruhi's probably still confused about the two of them together... I kind of still am too.'

"Naruto," one girl said in surprise, bringing Naruto out of her thoughts before she and four girls sat around a round table, "on your back, are those tattoos?"

"Yes." Naruto said with a smile.

"Why would you want tattoos on your perfect sun-kissed skin?" Another one of the four girls getting nods of agreement.

"Well, I've told you of the fire already." Naruto said with a sad smile. "What most people don't know is that I was still in the fire my parents died in and I'd gotten burned."

"Ohh!" The girls gasped.

"Unable to afford the surgery to remove my scars, I had to settle for tattoos." Naruto said.

"How awful..." One girl said.

"Not at all. It's ironic really." Naruto said standing with her back facing the girls bringing a hand behind her, touching the bottom half of her left wing tattoo covered by bandage. "Even when the burns were in the place of my tattoos, they were a couple of long and slightly wide burns over my shoulder blades stretching down to the middle of my torso, much like wings. It was like a sign from god that I was meant to have the wings of a pheonix..." Naruto turned to them smiling and kneeled before a girl with short aburn curls and taking her hand saying, "And just like the firebird itself, I was reborn as your knight. And, injured or not, I will fight for my lady." Naruto then kissed the girl's hand.

"Oh, Naruto..." She sighed happily.

"Lucky." The other two girls somewhat whined, even with the hearts in their eyes.

Meanwhile at Haruhi's table after a thought of confusion towards Honey and Mori as a pair...

"Haruhi, are't you going to wear a tropical outfit like the other boys?" One of the three girls asked.

"I'd like to see that." Saidn another.

"Um, no." Haruhi said with a slightly nervous smile. "I just think it's more natural to wear early spring clothes in the early spring."

"I picked out an outfit for you Haruhi!" Tamaki said excitedly. "And it's maid to be paired with mine!"

"No thanks." Haruhi said flatly making Tamaki feel cold.

"Wow, so you want to treasure the seasons Haruhi?" The first girl asked with hearts about her.

"Then let's hope the cherry blossoms are in full bloom on the night of the party." Said the second, hearts flying around her too. "That would be wonderful."

"A couple dancing among the cherry blossoms..." said the third with more hearts flying, "how dreamy!"

"Really?" Haruhi said smiling. "You know ladies, I thinks it's so cute when you dream like that."

The girls sigh happily.

"Excuse me." A girl with her brown hair in a bob came over with a smile. "I believe it's about time for the hosts to switch clients."

"Oh, I'm sorry, you must be my next customer, Miss..." Haruhi said.

"My name is Kanako Kasugazaki." She said lifting Haruhi's chin. "You're even cuter than I expected. I've decided. You're my new favorite."

Tamaki's jaw dropped in shock in the background.


SLLLLUUUUUUUURRRRRPPPPPPPP!

"I can't talk this anymore." Tamaki said slurping instant noddles form their plastic bowl. "This is unacceptable!"

"My lord, why don't you quit slurping that commoners ramen and come over here to help us with the party palnning?" Hikaru said.

"Does it really bother you that Princess Kanako has taken a liking to Haruhi?" Kaoru asked.

"He shouldn't be so surprised." Kyouya said typing on his labtop. "She's had the illness for quite awhile now."

"Illness?" Haruhi and Naruto questioned.

"She's got the 'Host-hopping' disease." Hikaru said.

"In other words, the 'never-the-same-boy-twice' disease." Kaoru said.

"Usually, our customers choose a host and see them regularly." Kyouya explained. "However, Princess Kanako tends to change her favorites... on a regular basis."

"That's right." Honey said. "Because before she was with you, she was with Tama-chan."

"Oh, I get it..." Naruto said with a sly smile.

Haruhi just looked bored, "So he's upset I snatched his customer away."

"NO! I couldn't care less about that!" Tamaki shouted in their faces, making their hair fly back. "Argh! I'm running out of patience!" He said standing back and pointing at Haruhi. "Haruhi, it's about time you start looking like a girl!"

"Huh?" Haruhi and Naruto said with sweatdrops.

"I just don't understand how you can be so popular with the ladies when you youself are a lady!" Tamaki shouted looking almost ready to rip his hair out. "That goes for you as well Naruto and as Haruhi's older cousin, you should be setting an example for her!"

"I'm only older by four months." Naruto said with her and Haruhi's sweatdrops growing bigger.

"That's besides the point! No one in the entire school knows the truth except for those of us here!"

"That's right." Hikaru said. "They both opted out of taking Gym classes."

"And the boys and girls attendance numbers are all mixed together in class so no one can tell." Kaoru said.

Tamaki brought out a trunk that appeared out of nowhere and started digging around in it. "This is it Naruto, Haruhi. Now you listen to daddy!" Tamaki said pulling out a wide portrait from and showing the two their expanded pictures.

The pictures were of Haruhi and Naruto in the blue and red sailor-suit uniforms of their junior high school while they still had long hair. Haruhi had hair a little passed her shoulders and bangs cut straight across her brow. Naruto had hair down to her waist up in two pony-tails atop her head and her whisker marks weren't hidden like they were their first couple of weeks at Ouran Academy.

"Daddy wants you two to go back to the way you were before!" Tamaki shouted with anime tears.

"Don't go blowing up our photos without our permission!" The two girls shouted angry.

"The more I look at these pictures, the more amazed I am." Hikaru said with the Host Clab members gathered aorund the picture-frame Tamaki now placed on the wall. Tamaki was on his knees crying in front of it while Naruto and Haruhi were standing a few feet behind them with sweatdrops. "How did these become your appearances before we fixed you up?"

"The day before school started one of the kids in our neighborhood put his gum in my hair." Haruhi said rubbing the back of her head. "It's a pain to get gum out of long hair so I just decided to cut it all off."

"It was my first time fighting with a blade and my opponent thought if he cut my hair with the katana he was using, it'd distract me in our match enough for him to win." Naruto said with her arms crossed behind her head. "He learned the hard way that I didn't much care when I beat him without pause before slicing off the rest of my hair in front of everyone."

"We don't really care if we look like a couple of dudes anyway." The two said in unison.

Tamaki jumped in front of them with anime tears falling again. "A girl should never refer to herself as a dude!" He turned to the other club members. "Mother! Naruto and Haruhi are using those dirty boy words agaaaain!" He cried falling to his knees.

"I'm sorry, but who's mother?" Kaoru asked Kyouya confused.

"Club postion-wise... probably me." Kyouya said.

"Kyouya as a mother?" Naruto said flatly. "That's one family shot straight to hell."

The twins couldn't hold in their laughs, Honey giggled, and Haruhi couldn't hold back a snort.

"I don't know what you're so upset about anyway." Naruto said to Tamaki. "Working as a couple of hosts, we're able to pay back more of our debt. We wouldn't be able to pay you back until graduation if we were back to being the Host Club errand-boys."

"Hate to change the subject but does Haruhi have formal dancing experience?" Hikaru asked after he was able to stop laughing. "Obviously Naruto does and you'll need it at the party."

Naruto blinked, eyes wide while Haruhi smiled nervously and slightly stammered, "N-No, but the party doesn't have anything to do with our quota right? I'm... not interested in going to any events, so if I could be excused-"

Tamaki's eyes shined with an idea as he stood, "Definitely not Haruhi. A refined gentleman must know how to dance. If you insist that you and Naruto are to work off your debt as hosts, you'll have to prove how far you're willing to go, Haruhi. I order you to master the waltz in one week and you will demonstrate it for us at the party... Or else I'll tell the enitre school that you and Naruto are girls and knock you both back down to being the Host Club errand-boys!"

Both girls were twitching and trembling at his order.


The next day, before her last class started, Naruto was called down to the Chairman's office. She was confused until she remembered Kyouya said he'd schedule a meeting for her to inform the chairmen of her tattoo.

"The Chairman will see you now, Mr. Namikaze." Said the secretary.

Naruto sighed and lifted her bag before going inside.

"Ah, so you're Naruto Namikaze." The tall brown haired man said. "It's good to meet you in person. I was very please when Kyouya Ootori requested I speak with you."

"Yes sir, it's nice to meet you." Naruto said.

"It so sad how you must masquerade yourself as a boy, you and your cousin both when you're such beautiful young ladies!" He said cried.

Naruto could only blink and sweatdrop. 'Why am I suddenly feeling like I'm around an older version of Tamaki?'

"And what's worse is that you have to do so, so you and your cousin can pay off the debt for that broken vase! It's just awful!" The Chairman continued before suddenly smiling brightly. "But I am very glad you're here. It's a shame I couldn't meet your cousin as well... Actually I'll call for her."

"There's no need for that, Chairman. There'll be other times where you'll get to meet her in person." Naruto said assuringly with a slighly nervous smile and sweatdrop slightly bigger.

"You're quite right. Alright then, what is it that you needed to speak to me about?"

"Well, you see, ten years ago, the appartment my parents and I were living in... ... ... ... and so, since we couldn't afford the surgery, my uncle allowed me to get the tattoos for my fourteenth birthday. And they're so well done, it looks like the burns were never there. I'm just here to inform you of my tattoos in case any rumor should be said about me if word of my tattoos are spread. It's happened before and I was almost kicked out of my junior high with all the rumors that had piled about me because of ridiculously judgemental teachers who wouldn't bother listening to my side of the story."

"I see. I'm glad you came to tell me and I'll be sure to clear up any nonsence that may be said about you simply because of your tattoo."

"Thank you sir." Naruto said with a bow before glancing at her watch. "Oh, I'd better get going. Although we don't have club acticities today, I've got to help Haruhi learn to dance the waltz before the week is over. Thank you, again for listening Chairman. I'll see you again soon."

"Good day Naruto-chan." He said with a smile.

With that Naruto hurried out of the office to the clubroom.


"Quick, quick, slow. Quick, quick, slow."

Tamaki sat by a window staring off into space gloomily.

"Good work Haruhi." Kanako said as they tried to dance, with Mori swinging Honey round and round in the background. "Now put your feet together on the 'slow'. Remember, the gentlemen always leads and make sure to look at the lady you're dancing with."

"G-Got it. Wh-Whoa!" Haruhi fell to her hands and knees over Kanako who could only giggle. "I'm so sorry, Miss Kasugazaki." Haruhi apologuised.

Kanako only wrapped her arms up around Haruhi's neck with a smile as she brought Haruhi down closer. "It's okay Haruhi."

"May I help you up?"

"Why so gloomy, Boss?" The twins asked Tamaki in unison before turning to each other with half-lidded eyes and smiles.

"I bet it's because he wanted to be the one Haruhi practiced with." Hikaru said.

"I think you're right, but he's way too tall to stand in as a woman." Kaoru said.

"Speaking of which," Hikaru said as they then tunred to Naruto, who could only shake her head at Tamaki with a smile, "why couldn't you just teach her Naruto? You and Haruhi are the same hieght, so you can stand in as a woman."

Naruto looked to the ceiling thinking of how to put her explaination into words, "Well, to put it simply, Haruhi is incapable of learning how to dance from me. Technically, Haruhi already knows several dances."

"Huh? Then why is she having trouble?" The twins asked. "And what do you mean technically?"

"When Haruhi and I are dance partners, we often switch gender stand-ins during the dance, and it's been that way since we were kids. I've been the only one she's ever danced with like it was no big deal after helping me practice all the time over the years. All I have to do is take her hand and she can dance as easliy as breathing, but... it's different with other people dancing with her, even if it's her dad. With me, her body moves on it's own as long as we're touching, she barely even realizes she's dancing with me. But with other people, her mind is doing all the work, and her body forgets what to do. And I can't exactly hold her hand the whole time at the party. So it's best that she learns from scratch from someone else."

"Hello?" A tall brown dark haired boy in an Ouran uniform and a white sweater said comming into the clubroom, carrying a box. "I'm here with the new teacups you ordered."

Naruto noticed how Kanako, sitting at a table, suddenly went wide-eyed and stiff. Kyouya was thanking the boy and Haruhi was asking about teasets when Kanako laughed lightly, though Naruto could tell it was fake. Naruto observed, not really paying attention to what was being said when she noticed the boy looked surprised and saddened seeing Kanako, who also seemed saddened, before smiling at something Kyouya said and leaving.

Tamaki came over to Kanako with a light smile and asked, "So are you enjoying the host club?"

"I get the feeling you and that guy are kind of close." Naruto said making Kanako go stiff again.

"Yeah. Are you?" Haruhi asked.

"Don't be rediculous! No, we hardly know each other! What could give you a silly idea like that? I'll be leaving for today, thank you, bye!"

Naruto and Haruhi could only blink and sweatdrop at the obvious lie as Kanako hurried out.

"Naru-chan!" Honey sais smiling, jumping on Naruto's back in a hug. "Guess what, they do know each other. Suzushima is Kanako-chan's fiancee!"

"Kyouya, how long have you known this?" Tamaki asked with his arms crossed.

"About them being engaged?" Kyouya said as he opened his notebook. "Well, as you know, I research all of our customers. The two of them were childhood friends and the engagement was decided by their parents. This information is of no use for me, so I just ignored it."

"I see..." Tamaki said with a slouch in his posture.

"Tohru Suzushima." Kyouya said. "Grades are impressive, family prestige is so-so, average appearance, and his strong point is his serious personality. If one were to fault him for anything..."

"He doesn't leave a strong impression." Hikaru said as he and Kaoru suddenly stood on either side of Kyouya.

"He's weak." Kaoru said.

"In other words, he's boring." Kyouya said flatly while snapping his notebook shut.

'How blunt... They show absolutely no mercy on other guys...' Naruto and Haruhi thought with sweatdrops and the right corners of their mouth quirked up in an attempt to smile.

"Tohru's a nice guy, right?" Honey said.

"Yeah." Mori said tonelessly.

"Right everyone." Tamaki said stepping in. "We'll have to work up a plan."

"For what?" Everyone asked in unison.

"It is our duty as members of the elite Ouran High School Host Club to make the ladies happy!" Tamaki said.


A week later, it was the night of the party and Naruto and Haruhi couldn't help feeling awkward. Everyone was wearing formal where and, as Host Club members, the two had to wear tuxedos which the the twins had tailered for them. Haruhi wore brown shoes, light brown slacks, a brown jacket, white button-up shirt, blue stripe-patern waist-coat, and a purple tie. Naruto wore black shoes, dark gray slacks, a white button-up with thin blue lines, a dark red waist coat, no tie, orange fingerless gloves, and square-cut diamond earrings. Both stood with frowns, have lidded eyes, Haruhi had an eyebrow raised while Naruto had an eyebrow twitching.

"Haruhi, Naruto," the twins said standing on either side of them, "show some enthusiasm."

"Well sorry but we're not used to these kind of events." Naruto said plainly.

"We've only ever gone to the fesitvals held in our neighborhood park." Haruhi said just as plainly as the two of them slouched forward with a sigh.

"I don't know if you can really consider that a party or not." Kyouya said from the side with Mori behind him with Honey on his shoulders. "But at least have a taste of the food we have here. It'll be a treat."

"Treat?" The two questioned, straightening up. "Umm..."

"With... fancy tuna?" Haruhi asked.

"And BBQ spare ribs?" Naruto asked.

Kyouya accidentally crushed his mechanical pencil.

"Fancy tuna and BBQ spare ribs?" They all questioned like lightning had struck.

Naruto and Haruhi went red-faced when Hikaru and Kaoru wrapped their arms around them in a group hug with tears in their eyes, rubbing their cheeks against the blonde and brunette's heads saying, "Poor children. You poor little dears. Aww."

Tamaki ordered Kyouya to order fancy tuna and BBQ spare ribs immediately while Kyouya added to order some premium delux sushi as well.

Out of their embarrassement, Naruto and Haruhi thought, 'Damn these filthy rich bastards...' and were quickly regretting they'd said anything.

The two were all too happy the dancing had begun.

Haruhi stood on the sidelines while the others danced. Kanako showed up and just before they could get to the dance floor, the Mari and Honey kidnapped Haruhi while the twins, Kyouya, and Naruto left a couple minutes earlier. Haruhi changed into the dress and left to meet with Tohru. A minute later Tamaki went to go get Kanako while the others went to get this ready outside the Central Building.

Naruto sighed, waiting patiently with the others.

"Hey, Kyouya-senpai." She said.

"Yes?"

"What did you mean by, 'a little accident towards the end will make things more thrilling'?"

Kyouya chuckled, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "You'll just have to wait and see."

'Why am I suddenly feeling chills?' Naruto thought with a slight frown.

Haruhi, changed back into her tux, and Tamaki came back and a moment later Kanako ran by with Tohru right behind her before catching her hand. Spot lights were shown on them and they began to dance. By the look of things and the bright smiles they both wore, Tohru finally told her he loves her and wants to marry her and Kanako quit host-hopping.

"Now to announce the Queen of the ball..." Hikaru said into a microphone, holding a banana peel in his free hand.

"Congatulations Princess Kanako Kasugazaki!" Kaoru said into his own microphone, also holding a banana peel in his free hand.

"And her reward will be a kiss on each cheek from the king..."

"Sitting in for Tamaki will be both Haruhi Fujioka and Naruto Namikaze!"

"WHAT?" Tamaki and the girls-dressed-as-boys shouted.

"Kyouya did say, 'a little accident towards the end will make things more thrilling'." The twins said making Naruto throw Kyouya a scowl.

"They're is no way we can kiss her." Naruto and Haruhi said.

"I'll cut your debt by a third." Kyouya said.

Naruto and Haruhi glance to each other before saying, "Well it is just a peck on the cheek."

The two walked down to give Kanako a kiss on the cheek when Honey said, "Hey, you don't think this is Haru-chan and Naru-chan's first kiss do you?"

"What?" Tamaki gasped.

The blonde and brunette stood on either side of her leaning to kiss her cheeks at the same time as Tamaki came running down the steps with a shout of, "Just hold up on that kiss!" before slipping on one of the banana peels the twins had and accidentally pushed Haruhi into a real kiss with Kanako.

Tamaki face flat on the ground before all three girls jumped back in surprise as Naruto laughed, "I don't think there's any need for my kiss anymore."

Naruto then look back up the steps with an angry pout before hurrying, up ready to cuss out Kyouya. "As for you Kyouya senpai, I know you planned for-w-whoa!"

Naruto ended up slipping on the second banana peel that had been dropped just a couple feet from Kyouya. Kyouya was taken by surprise and ended up tossing his notebook in the air as Naruto grabbed the front of his suit in her fall to try, but fail, to catch herself. The girls surrounding them screamed happily at the sight of the Host Club Cool-type lying flat on top of the Host Club Knight before Kyouya lifted himself on one elbow while his free hand readjusted his glasses. The screams skyrocketted, though, when Naruto lifted herself to both her elbows with a groan and looked up only to accidentally kiss Kyouya when he looked down.

The two lay there frozen with their wide eyes locked, still kissing, and only slightly aware of the screaming girls and the other Host Club members' stares. Finally, they slowly, awkwardly, pulled apart. They stared at each other in surprise before Naruto's face seemed to burst into flames and Kyouya, uncharacteristically, flushed as well but, of course, not as badly before the two quickly looked to their rights and awkwardly stood without a word.

Naruto forgot she wanted to cuss out Kyouya for planning the whole kiss for Haruhi and Kyouya forgot about writing down the event's "accident".


Phew!

This took a lot of rereading and rewriting to get it they way I like it. Although, there are probably still a few errors.

And, yes, I know ribs aren't totally expensive but I was craving them when I wrote the end of this and it was the onyl thing I could think of at the time. And, actually, I take it back, it can be ridiculously expensive depending where you get them.

And at the end, I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss between Naruto and Sasuke in the Naruto series and that last scene just seemed to stay in my head like a song you can't get rid of, until I typed it.

Betcha thought I was gonna make Haruhi and Naruto kiss, huh?

I actually wonder what really happened to the second banana peel in the original Ouran HSHC anime.

Hope you liked it! ^-^

Till next time.
