In the last chapter, I said that I will let the readers choose this pairing. Here are the votes so far:

Tamaki: 3

Kyoya: 8

Hikaru: 1

Kaoru: 2

Honey: 0

Mori: 1

Note: I did not include the votes where the whole host club was chosen. Also, this will only go on for a few chapters as I eventually will have to lean towards one pairing.

Introductions

Home, I want home now. Haruhi looked around for the exits in the room, wondering if she could make it past the front gates. After a moment's thought, she shook her head, there were too many obstacles that she could trip over, which would only make matters worse. She looked back towards the front of the room.

When the six boys were in view, there were many oohs and ahhs. Haruhi sighed, she looked more closely at the six boys. Tamaki-senpai hadn't changed at all, he still had the princely air around him as he smiled and waved at the girls. Next to him, Kyoya-senpai was standing, smiling at the crowd. Haruhi shivered. She knew too well what was behind the smiling mask. He was frequently called the shadow king, icy and cold when there are no benefits in the situation for him. Beside Kyoya stood the twins, grinning widely. Their arms were around each other's waists, no doubt still holding on to the brotherly love concept. For the next person in line, Haruhi had to make her view lower, Honey-senpai. Honey still had that childish look. In one hand, he clutched his bunny. Haruhi knew not to be deceived by his little boy look for Honey was a martial arts expert. Finally, the last in line was Mori-senpai. From what Haruhi remembered, Mori was the silent type, one that spoke few words, but that factor had attracted many girls in the host club to designate him as their host.

Haruhi leaned back onto her seat. It had been six years since she had graduated from Ouran. She only saw the host club members a few times during the past six years. This was just too sudden for her. She needed mental preparation for this. Haruhi remembered with a smile how crazy the times were, pretending to be a male student. The host club had become very good friends of hers, it had been sad to leave that and move on. There was no room for a commoner in such a high society. When they all graduated, she went a separate way.

Misa clapped twice, shattering Haruhi's thoughts. "Girls, as you can see, these are the six young men that you will be spending your coming weeks with. Let each of them introduce themselves."

Tamaki stepped forward with a princely stride. "Good evening. I would first like to welcome you to this season of the bachelor. My name is Tamaki Suou and as one of the bachelors, I feel very lucky to have so many beautiful ladies listen to me talk. My heart surges upon the sight of all your lovely smiles."

It appeared that all that time at the host club had served him well for at those words, girls around the room squealed in delight. Tamaki paused and waited patiently for the commotion to pass. It soon quieted down for him to continue speaking.

"I hope that all of you will enjoy your time here and I look forward getting to know each and every one of you." He smiled and stepped back inline. There was a round of applause before Kyoya took the spotlight.

He bowed slightly at the crowd of girls before speaking. "Good evening. My name is Kyoya Otori. I am delighted to have the company of all you pretty ladies tonight. I wish for everyone to enjoy their stay here and hope that all of you will gain something from the experience in the mansion. I look forward to getting to know all of you." He stepped back.

All around her, Haruhi could here whispers. "He has such a cool appearance but his personality seems so nice! He is such a gentleman. That is so my type" Haruhi smirked, surely Kyoya's personality couldn't be classified as nice.

Next, Hikaru and Kaoru each took a stride forward. "Yo. My name is Hikaru Hitachiin and this is my twin Kaoru Hitachiin. I hope you'll look after Kaoru when he's in the mansion because sometimes he can get a bit shy." Hikaru said teasingly.

"But Hikaru! I'm not always like that, only when you're not around, I feel insecure." Kaoru protested.

"Their relationship is so sweet! They seem so caring" The girl next to Haruhi was whispering vigorously to her neighbor. Sweet? Haruhi raised an eyebrow, as far as she could see, the brotherly love relationship was nothing but wrong. By now, Haruhi feared for her sanity of the people whom she was housing with for the next couple of weeks. Shaking her head, she looked back

It was Honey-senpai's turn and for the first time, it seemed that Tamaki had noticed her and was eyeing her curiously. Luckily, the spotlight was on Honey, so, many of the other girls didn't notice. Haruhi could feel his eyes on her. She looked straight ahead at Honey, determined not to look at Tamaki, afraid of what crazy scene Tamaki may create once recognizing her.

"Hii! My name is Haninozuka Mitsukuni but please just call me Honey! I like chocolate, cakes and just about anything sweet including people with sweet smiles like all the people in this room today!" Honey smiled cutely around.

"Kyaaaaaa! He's so adorable, I just want to pinch his cheeks!" Haruhi rolled her eyes. Honey was in his twenties now but he still acted like a pre-schooler.

Haruhi was now eyeing Mori-senpai. She sighed, maybe one look at Tamaki won't cause much of a commotion. She tore her eyes away from Mori and looked up at the hopeful blonde-haired senpai.

As soon as Tamaki saw the large brown eyes, something finally clicked.

Commencing Tamaki's inner mind theatre … 3 2 1 …

"Senpai!" Tamaki looked up and saw Haruhi running gracefully in slow-mo with her arms out wide.

"Haruhi!" He exclaimed as she leaped into his embrace, her arms wrapped around Tamaki's neck.

"Senpai! I missed you so much." She said tearfully into his shoulder.

"I'm here now, there's no need to worry. Haruhi, there is no need to call me sempai, please, just call me Tamaki" He gently stroke the back of her hair.

Flowers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blooming and spreading their lovely fragrance.

Haruhi was surprised that Tamaki hadn't created a scene. She looked over at him again but was not surprised at the expression he wore on his face. He looks so stupid. Haruhi had no doubt what was going through his mind. Most likely something that was not going to happen anytime this millennium.

Meanwhile, Honey-senpai spoke for Mori. "This is my cousin, Morinozuka Takashi. I hope everyone can look after him, he's very quiet but he's also very caring." Mori smiled gently at the crowd of girls.

"Sakuno! Sakuno, are you alright?" Haruhi quickly turned around and saw a body on the ground, it seemed that Mori's gentle smile had been too much for that poor girl and she fainted. Geez, isn't this a bit over dramatic? Aren't there any sane people in this room? Haruhi looked around the room and was relieved to find quite a few girls, still unfazed by the host club.

At the front of the room, Hikaru and Kaoru were trying to wake Tamaki out of his fantasy. "Milord, wakey wakey!" Haruhi was surprised that Tamaki still had that dreamy look on when the twins were shaking him so vigorously. Finally, the twins succeeded in waking Tamaki by dumping a bucketful of cold water on him. How the twins suddenly had a bucket at their side was a mystery to Haruhi.

Misa laughed. "Well, as you can all see, they are a playful bunch of boys." She said, embarrassed. By now, the twins resumed their places in the line and everybody was looking perfectly normal, as if nothing had happened, well, everyone except for a certain wet Frenchman. Haruhi almost snorted in laughter, they really hadn't changed much.

"Tomorrow, all of you will be split into groups and spend time with the boys. At the end of this week, we will have an elimination ceremony where three girls will be leaving us. I wish you all good luck and good night." Misa smiled at the camera before someone yelled out 'cut'. They were no longer being filmed.

"Okay girls! There are lists on the wall on your right, they are your bedroom arrangements! I will meet you all down here tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. I hope you all have a good night's sleep." Misa instructed.

The host club members all waved their goodbyes before exiting out. At the doorway, Tamaki turned his head, looking for a certain brown-haired commoner. However, she was already engulfed into the crowd of girls that were swarming around the wall, looking at the bedding arrangements. He walked back into the foyer where Kyoya was waiting for him.

"Looking for Haruhi?" Kyoya asked.

Tamaki started. "Yeah . . . wait, how'd you know that she-"

"Was here? I have sources." He smirked. My, my, my, this is going to turn out interesting.
