Disclaimer: It's actually in the first chapter but yes, I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. As much as I want to, I can't. For obvious reasons.

When they went back to class, the twins realized that the girl they had mistaken for a boy was their new classmate. Ayumi Hara was introduced to them earlier (the girl's father seemed eager to let her go to school tomorrow) and Haruhi seemed pleased with the familiar face. Ayumi left with her father after that and the twins weren't speaking to each other.

All the way to their house, Hikaru and Kaoru refused to speak to one another and were both in deep thought. They didn't seem to like the girl like the others because of the bad impression they had of her earlier.

Bedroom,

Kaoru looked at his mirror image, Hikaru. He was sitting on their bed, drying his hair with his towel until Hikaru dragged the towel away. "You know, I don't like the sound of another girl in the Host Club." Hikaru said in an irritated tone, "Just because Hunni-senpai likes her doesn't mean she can be a host."

"A hostess." Kaoru corrected, "Although I don't think Kyouya-senpai..." And then his voice trailed on.

Hikaru looks at Kaoru, a big sly grin on his face, "What do you say, we paint her pink?"

"What do you mean by 'paint her'?" Kaoru smirked, getting his twin's idea when Hikaru had voiced it out. And so they went into full discussion about the plan.

Ouran High School,

The Hitachiin twins met Hunni-senpai on the way to the Music Room. He was a bit cheerful that day, even without Mori by his side. The twins wondered why, so they asked.

"Takashi's with Ayu-chan today. I made him walk her here!" Hunni smiled at the revelation, "What's wrong, Hika-chan? Kao-chan?" He noticed when the twins stopped in their tracks.

"Uh-oh." The twins exchanged glances.

Hunni stared at the two running away at the other direction. He decided to think why for a moment but then his mind turned to cake and he skipped away, to the Music Room.

Library hallway,

"Hunni-senpai wanted you to walk me there? But I won't be going there today." Ayumi looked at Mori who was tagging behind her. "But I wouldn't want to cause any more trouble for you. So, let's head straight there."

The boy grunted as a reply, telling her that he was listening to her every word eventhough he lacked response.

"MO-RI-SEN-PAI!" Two voices from the end of the hall called out.

Ayumi and Mori halted and turned their heads. The tall host's left foot landed a certain space on the floor and then,

SPLASH!

"Mori-senpai!" Ayumi covered her face with her arms to sheild herself from getting paint in her face. Her sleeves though, was ruined because of the pink paint. Worse than that, Mori didn't expect this so his head was covered.

Ehem, pink paint.

The twins stopped on their tracks. They started to back away slowly, noticing that the paint was boiling. Mori's figure turned slowly to them and the twins stepped backward.

"Mori-senpai?" The girl lowered her arms as she looked at the tall boy. "Are you...alright?"

Music Room # 3,

"What's wrong with you two? You seem scared." Haruhi noticed as the twins entered the room, barricading the door by blocking it with the sofa and other things they could lay their hands on. She shrugged it off and continued making tea.

"Ne, what are you doing? Takashi won't be able to come in!" Hunni squealed from his corner, laying down a fork.

"That's the point!" Hikaru huffed as he leaned in the wall after they blocked the whole door.

Kyouya looked at them when he was finished with his calculations, "What did you do?" It was so rare that they messed with Mori since they wouldn't be able to take the consequences of their actions with him. They didn't really mess with anyone expect for Tamaki and Haruhi really.

"What makes you think we did anything?" Kaoru looked at him, fear in his gold eyes.

"We didn't do anything. Right Kaoru?" Hikaru told his twin.

"Yeah." Kaoru added, but then stubborn Tamaki pushed them away.

"What are you two devils doing? The beautiful princesses can't come in if you do that!" Tamaki scolded the two, taking the furnitures away from the door. The Hosts can hear footsteps as Tamaki lessened the barricade that the twins made.

BANG!

Tamaki flew from the impact of the door hitting his face and hit the opposite wall.

"Takashi! Ta-kashi?" Hunni looked eager at one second but turned to the twins who were hiding behind pillars. The others had backed away, they didn't want to get close to Hunni-senpai when he's angry.

Later,

"What were you two thinking?" Haruhi served the twins tea when they regained consciousness. "Pulling a prank on Mori-senpai like that-"

Hikaru broke her sentence and took a cup, "It wasn't for Mori-senpai."

"Look at what it cost you." Kyouya told them, closing his laptop and pointing at the cuts that they received from Hunni.

"And what will our dear ladies say?" Tamaki asked so dramatically, leaning forward to look at the injuries, "What in heaven's name did you get the idea that Mori-senpai would like pink? I think he prefers orange or green."

Dumb lord. The twins thought.

"Anyway, let's just fix Mori-senpai up..He looks, er, pink." Haruhi looked worried when her eyes wandered over to the host by the corner. "He looks angry too."

"Oh Haruhi? Do you think I look good on pink?" Tamaki smiled lovingly at Haruhi, hoping for he'd get compliment from his daughter. Everyone in the host club knew Haruhi meant more to him than just that.

"Er, yeah. Maybe." Haruhi answered, suddenly deciding to go and make some more tea.

Tamaki jumped up and started his mind cinema about Haruhi again. The Hosts turned away from him and his insanity. Then finally, Hikaru stood up, "Don't follow me Kaoru. I'll just head outside."

"Okay." Kaoru looked up, he followed his twin brother's footsteps with his eyes then turned to Haruhi, "Haruhi? When did you meet that girl?"

"Let's see." Pause. "Oh yeah." Haruhi bit her lower lip when she came back and began telling them the story.

Haruhi's POV

"Fujioka?" A voice called me from behind. I was walking to school that day when I saw Ayumi. I turned around and saw her walking towards me and she was wearing a smile. "Do you mind if I walk with you?"

"No, not really."

"Fujioka?"

"Hmm?"

"You're brave."

In my mind, those words struck me but I just looked at her with my usual expression. "For being persevere without your mom." Ayumi continued, looking a bit forlorn for the first time then she smiled and said goodbye before running off to the car.

Still standing there and watching her, I wondered why she had said that. We were friends sure, but never really that close to talk like that.

Hitachiin mansion,

"I think we should stop Hikaru." Kaoru tossed his bag on the sofa, a large frown on his face.

The other copied the expression and sat down, "Why? I'm not going to stop until she quits the club."

Kaoru sighed, he never said anything after that. He actually didn't need to. After all, Hikaru wouldn't listen to him anyway.
