Haruhi's hand twitched as she began to reach for the handle on the door to the music room. She hesitated, and then forced herself to open the door. She thought she would try to play it off 'cool' so no one could suspect anything.

"Haruhiii!" Her name flowed from the Lord's mouth like a song as she opened the door.

Just don't think about it; just don't think about it… she chanted in her head as Tamaki, president of the Host Club, wrapped his arms around her small body.

"Haruhi! We're going to play kick-the-can again, today!" He began to lead her to the door as the other Host Club members followed.

"Um, senpai, I'm not feeling so well today. Maybe tomorrow," she said, trying not to look at his face.

Sometimes she would think about her fellow host club members in her free time. She thought about the twins and how close they were. She thought about Mori-senpai and Hani-senpai and how even though they were completely different, they were meant for each other. Haruhi also would think about Kyouya and how sinister he can really be even though he looks the exact opposite (cool and collected). And then there was Tamaki. Usually she would think about him as a rich idiot or a womanizer. But there were also some qualities and characteristics that she liked about him: He was kind, generous, self-sacrificing… not to mention handsome, but she never really thought of him as someone just to look at. He never really popped up into her mind as someone she could see herself with, so her dream was extremely out of the ordinary.

"If you're sure…" Tamaki replied with a sigh. Haruhi relaxed when Tamaki let go of her and began to walk with the other boys out into the courtyard. As they disappeared outside, Haruhi sat down, rested her head against the wall behind her, and closed her eyes. This was going to be a long day. She questioned whether or not she was alright mentally because of what she had thought about. Nothing like this had happened before, so why now? She then stared at the ceiling.

There's no use in dwelling on something that won't happen again in my mind or in real life- why am I so worked up about it? She counseled herself. Her eyes then drifted over to a small black ball rolling underneath a table. As Haruhi sat up to get a better view, the ball began to roll again, this time to a wall on the far side of the room. She stood up and slowly began to follow the ball, and then it quickly rolled into a small hole in the wall.

"…That's odd," Haruhi mumbled to herself. She then began to hear footsteps outside of the room and crept over to the door to investigate. As she put an ear to the door, she heard the footsteps stop and then trail away.

This seemed a little too suspicious to be anything normal, even for Ouran High School, so she quietly opened the door and followed the footsteps. She continued to follow them at a safe distance, but then stopped as she heard some talking just around the corner. Haruhi knelt down and listened carefully.

"Moshi- Hai… Hai… eh, no, I couldn't get much. Gomen… NANI?" She heard a boy's whispering voice, but she couldn't tell who it was. "Fine… domo…" Suddenly, a head hit Haruhi's and she grabbed her head in pain.

"Atatataaaa"- The boy grimaced. She opened her eyes and saw him. She remembered seeing him before but she couldn't quite remember where.

"Ah, gomen," she apologized. He looked up at her, tucking away his cell phone.

"Fujioka-san?" He said, almost shocked. "What are you doing here?"

Her eyes widened and she choked up. What was she going to say?

"Eh, I dropped my contact lens! Yeah, that's it!" She laughed in the most obvious way possible and moved her hands on the floor as to find her lost contact lens.

"I'm sure…" He said, standing up.

Oh God. Did he figure me out?

"I lose my contacts all of the time." Haruhi sighed in relief and took his hand to get up. "Well, I have to go now. See you later!" He called out as he began to walk away.

What did the conversation he had on his cell phone mean? And what was that black ball? Haruhi sighed at the list of questions she had still left to be answered and began to walk back to the music room. When she entered, she saw the rest of the club and their distressed president.

"HARUHIII!!!!" Tamaki cried, rushing towards her. "I was so worried that you had been kidnapped!"

"In the middle of school?" she then remembered whom she was talking to. "Gomen ne, I had to use the restroom," Haruhi lied. This seemed to be more popular (lying) as the day went on.

"Yeah, take it easy, Lord." Hikaru said.

Haruhi sat down on an available chair and scratched the back of her head. "Oh yeah, I also saw a black ball earlier. When I got close to it, though, it rolled away."

Kyouya stepped forward. "Where did it go to?"

"Over in that hole," Haruhi said, pointing to a hole in the wall.

"I've never seen that hole there before. Where does that lead to?" Kaoru asked.

"Into a hallway that leads to the janitor's office. It's hardly ever used." Kyouya explained. Haruhi then placed her fist in her palm. "So that's it…"

"Nani?"

"I saw a boy – I don't remember who – but he was there in that hallway talking on a cell phone."

"I see… well, if you see him again, point him out to us, okay?" Kyouya said and Tamaki nodded.

"Okay," she agreed and nodded as well.

How did I get myself into this? Haruhi asked herself again and again as she was being led somewhere unknown.

"Are we there yet?" She asked, trying to look beneath the blindfold that covered her eyes.

"Almost… just a little bit further." Tamaki said, a giant grin on his face. "Okaaaay…. NOW!" He signaled for her to remove the blindfold. She took it off and looked around.

"The gazebo in the middle of the hedge-maze?" She asked disappointed. Tamaki nodded fiercely and sat down with a cheerful look on his face.

"Time for lunch!" He said, excited, pulling out his bento box. Haruhi walked over to it sluggishly and sat down next to him. "Here, Haruhi! Say 'Aaaah'," he offered to feed a roll to her.

"No thank you," She replied rather bluntly. "I'll feed myself."

Tamaki, content none-the-less, popped the roll into his mouth and smiled. "We should come here more often," he said, resting his chin in his palm.

"It is peaceful"- she then felt an electric shock in her heart. Her eyes widened and she blushed tremendously. She had just remembered what she had dreamt about the previous day.

"Haruhi," he smiled, still looking forward.

"H-h-hai?" She tried to create a smile. He looked over to her and noticed her color.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"U-uh, yeah, I'm fine," she said, trying not to make a scene.

"In that case… is it alright if I… kiss you?" He asked sweetly.

Haruhi felt as though her heart had exploded. Had she fallen asleep and dreamt this up like last time? She flicked her own hand and got a normal, awake, response. What do I say!? No? Yes? Maybe later?

"Ano… um… sure?" The words barely crept from her trembling lips. EH! Did I just say YES!?

Tamaki blushed a little, surprised that she had actually agreed for him to kiss her. He moved in closer and Haruhi's knees began to quiver. She feared her dream had actually come true! Suddenly, Tamaki stopped. Haruhi looked confused. He looked around and picked up a small, black ball.

"This fell on my head," he said as Haruhi took it from him.

"This is the same ball I saw yesterday," she replied, looking at it all around. She was somewhat relieved that their soon-to-be kiss had been interrupted.

"There it goes!" Haruhi exclaimed after the ball slipped out of her hand and rolled out of the maze. "Where did it come from… and why does it keep appearing?"

"Ah, Haruhi," Tamaki called. Right as she turned her head to look at him, her lips met his and her eyes grew large. She backed away and covered her mouth with her hand, shocked at what had just happened. Tamaki watched her face get red again and laughed.

"Well, I have to meet Kyouya at the library, so I'll see you later. Ja ne," He said, walked away from the gazebo and waving.

I have no other way to end this SOOOOO I'm ending it here. WOAH! What is this ball that keeps showing up? What is with Haruhi's dreams? What's going to happen with Tamaki? LETS FIND OUT!!!
