What in the world are they up to?

Haruhi suppressed a groan as she saw movement from the corner of her eyes. The twins were following her 'discreetly' as possible, jumping behind pillars or people and trying to blend in when she glanced behind. Haruhi sighed, praying that they wouldn't steal her to someplace Tamaki had in mind. She shuddered when a memory of the twin maids crossed her mind. She quickened her pace to find safety in her classroom.

Breathing a sigh of relief, she sat in her chair, placing her studies on the desk. She stiffened when she the twins walk in, but they didn't have on their mischievous grins, so she relaxed, a little.

"Oh! Hey, Fujioka."

Haruhi looked up to find Tetsuya sitting in front of her. Yes, she remembered now. She had met him just yesterday, when she found that she accidentally lost her book and had rushed back to the library. They had bumped into each other on her way out, and he had helped her recollect her things and walk her back.

"Oh, hello, Niwozaka-kun," she smiled back.

He was pretty tall for his age, probably the same height as Tamaki. They also shared the same color hair, though his hairstyle resembled…more of Kyouya's, Haruhi thought. His eyes were also more slanted than Tamaki's and were a pale green that was currently radiant in delight.

"Fujioka," he chuckled, "please, just call me Tetsuya. After all, we're friends now, ne?"

Haruhi couldn't suppress another grin. "Yes. Then I suppose you can call me Haruhi. Ne, Tetsuya?"

Tetsuya grinned in agreement, before turning around when their teacher came in. For a second, Haruhi thought she saw a flash, but she ignored it and opened her notebook to write notes.


"Kaoru…"

"I know. This is more serious than we thought."

Hikaru had almost thrown his chair at the boy if not for Kaoru, who had to warn him with a hand on his arm.

"I can't stand this anymore! It's only the first day yet they're already friends now," Hikaru hissed vehemently.

Kaoru lowered his head, still eyeing the boy, who had secretly passed a note to Haruhi. The twins jerked, and getting out his phone, Kaoru snapped a picture when Haruhi opened it. Hikaru leaned over him, eager to read what it said.

'Hey Haruhi!

I hope you don't mind, but if you're not too busy with something else, do you want to sit with me during lunch? I could use the extra company.

Your friend, Tetsuya'

Tamaki's hands trembled, and Kaoru swiped it away before he could break it.

"See, tono? It's terrible! They've already become so close!"

"We've got to do something before it's too late!"

Their king remained speechless, his body gradually dispersing into dust. Kyouya adjusted his glasses, the lens flashing.

"It does seem that they are…familiar with each other," he simply stated.

Hunni nodded. "It looks like Niwozaka-kun really really likes Haru-chan."

"GAAAACCKKK!! NONONONONO!! DADDY FORBIDS IT!!" Tamaki shrilled, clutching his head.

"What do you plan to do now, tono?" the twins asked.

Suddenly, their lord's demeanor changed. His back straight and composed on a grand chair, he rested his chin on the top of his hand, his expression solemn. The room was eerily quite, save for the usual scribbling of Kyouya's pen on notebook. Tamaki's eyes shone dim, lost in thought.

"This is quite serious," he murmured.

To the members' surprise, Tamaki was lacking the dramatic attitude he always displayed when sending orders. "My dear Host Club, this is what we shall do…"


"This…this is incredible!"

Haruhi was blissfully savoring a small sample of dark chocolate and raspberry cake.

"It is, huh? Here, have mine," Tetsuya chuckled.

"Ah- no, it's okay…" Haruhi stuttered.

He laughed. "Really, it's fine. I eat this all the time. You, on the other hand, look like you've never had it before."

Haruhi blushed. "Well, actually it is my first time. I'm really not that rich, like everyone else here," she muttered.

Tetsuya merely grinned. There was a brief silence, excluding the chatters of the crowd of girls surrounding them, and he suddenly chuckled. Haruhi glanced up to ask what was so funny when she found him smiling intently at her, brushing golden locks away from emerald eyes lit in amusement. He got up and held her arm, carrying her tray with his other hand. He led them to the maze and sat down in the hiding spot Tamaki had claimed as his and Haruhi's in hide-and-go-seek.

"Is it okay if we sit here? It was a little noisy in the cafeteria, ne?"

Haruhi nodded, feeling something queer in her gut about sitting there with him in that particular place. She swallowed it down with another bite of cake.

"Haruhi, I hope I'm not intruding in personal business, but tell me, why is a beautiful girl like you dressed up in a male uniform?"

The fork delivering a small raspberry froze abruptly in her hands. She turned with wide, curious eyes at his smiling face, unaware to a small rustle in the bushes behind her.

"Tetsuya…"

Still grinning, he guided the fork into her gaping mouth, slipping the fork from her fingers as he took it back out. She continued to stare when he suddenly thrust it to the side like a dagger. She blinked in surprise when she heard familiar voices.

"Are you okay, my lord?"

Haruhi cried out in shock as six figures suddenly jumped out of the tall bushes. Then she scowled. How wonderful, the gang is all here, she thought with a grimace. She noticed that Hunni was twirling her fork in his fingers. "Er…"

"Haruhi! What are you doing?" Kaoru accused, pulling her up by her arm.

"At least, with him," Hikaru spitefully muttered, latching on her other arm.

Tetsuya retained his composure, smiling now at the newcomers.

"You all, what are you doing here?" Haruhi asked. "Can't you see that I was busy eating with someone?" she added with an annoyed tone.

Tamaki stepped up. "Haruhi, we were only concerned about you. We just wanted to know where you were-" He squeaked when she gave him a sharp glare, and he found a corner to mope.

"Well I'm curious to know why this gentleman flung a fork at us," Kyouya interjected. "If Hunni-senpai had not caught it, Tamaki would have been severely injured," he added, giving Tetsuya a very familiar smile.

Tetsuya grinned just as pleasantly back. "Forgive me; I'm not so used to people spying on personal conversations."

Haruhi shuddered as she felt, or rather saw, the two clashing auras. "Uhm, ano…"

Tetsuya was suddenly at Haruhi's side, an arm draped around her waist. He merely smiled pleasantly as the host members tensed, the twins considerably outraged. Tamaki had also caught this, his face now plastered with horror and an anxiety strangely similar to when Casanova-kun was about to confess his love to Haruhi.

"Actually, I am grateful that you are all here. It saves me the trouble for hunting you all down myself. I know Haruhi is a female, it is futile to deny it at this point," he chuckled as the tense atmosphere soared. "I do not wish to encounter any of you in the near future, so I am here to make something clear…"

Tamaki's eyes widened as Tetsuya crushed a confused Haruhi into his chest.

"Haruhi is mine."
