Geez it's been a year since I started this story already...wow. I'm so happy that the year has gone by smoothly. Anyways thanks so much to those who've supported me and have a happy holidays. I hope next year I can get alot more done this time, but only time can tell. Enough with this, here's the re-written chapter for Theme Cafe now, Meeting Rene. I don't own Ouran High School Host Club. If I was I'd be writing another cute manga.


She let her smile turn into a vicotious smirk. I gave into a deep sigh. " I wonder who have you been hanging out with without me? I bet the best friend would totally hate you right now for saying that." I told her mockingly. Her smirk turned upside down into a pout.

" Haruhi! Don't be like that you know I wouldn't do that to her and besides she does label you the same way. 'Our Best Friend.' the question is are you the same way." Rene said with a challenging tone. Then she suddenly changed the topic. " Well there is no time for that. I bet your boys have lots of questions for me, no? And bottom line Haruhi, everyone liked you better. So there is no point in arguing that. Obviously the pattern repeats here. " She said remembering about the boys. I didn't remember the boys were listening in and were right there. Kyoya was the first to come back to reality as everyone was still stuck in confussion.

" Yes we have questions for you Ms. Rene Shima. Why don't we head to one of the tables to be more comfotrable. " He said as everyone finally got out of the daze as we head to a table.

Like most of out investigation things with others. The seven of us sitting across from her. She straightened her skirt uniform before looking straight at us. Everyone looked at her bewilderingly. I shook my head in disappointment towards her and them.

" First off why did you dress like a boy?" Kyoya asked.

She smiled at him. " Welll I was at work and I had to dress like a boy for today for the theme of the shop. Then again I always plan something rediculous ,well that's what Kei-chan always says, just for our activities in the school." She answered the volume of her voice lowered.

" Why are you here?" the twins asked. She looked at them with are-you-all-stupid-or-what type of look.

" I was here to walk with Haruhi to her home so we could go to dinner to catch up." She closing her eyes with a sense of pride in herself. " Is it wrong for girls to go out to dinner to chat after meeting each other for the first time in ten years." She tilted her head and batted her eyes slowly at them. They all looked at her with confussion even though they practically use the same technique to their own costumers. I let out a small laugh at their obliviousness.

" Even after my talk with her yesterday night. I would have expected more from the boys that she says that she hangs out with. Obviously you don't take care of her well enough. I find her in the middle of the road nearly ran over! Simply awful how dare you do that to a lady!" She let out a little cry and looked at me.

" This is the second time I had to do this Haruhi. First when we were kids and the idiots got you to go to the middle of the road to get something, and now an idiot driving the car I don't even think he cared to look at his dash board he must have seen it already. Jeez your lucky it was only me Haruhi. Just think if it were the others." She said turning to her real self rabmbling on and on.

" Yes mother I am truly blessed that you are the only one here." I said filled with sarcasim.

She rolled her eyes and gave a heavy sigh. " Well anyways why don't we just get going Haruhi I won't nag you anymore besides you could have turned out worse." I shot her a warning look. I swear she expected something more different than this. " I won't breath a word let's just go." She lightened her mood imediately. I stood up and sighed myself.

" Fine let's get going before your brain gets a hold of what just happened awhile ago." I said getting a hold of my things . The boys got up with us.

" Wait do you mind if we go?" Hikaru asked. Well didn't they just turn a full three sixty.

" Yes we are a bit curious of Haruhi's past friends and would like to know more about you. " Tamaki said after being silent the whole entire time totally out of chracter. Huni nodded in agreement. Obviously Mori and Kyoya would be coming as well since the others were. She looked at them with a blank.

" That would be wonderful!" She said squealing in happiness. She always loved having more people around.

" Let's take our car." Kaoru course thses guys would want to ride in style. They always loved making such an entrance.

" So where is the restaurant?" Hikaru asked as we all were packed into the limo. She sat closer to the window to the driver. " I'll just direct the driver to it." She said.


We arrived to the place after three minutes of driving. I looked at the Restaurant which read " Theme Cafe." When we entered we were welcomed the way we did. " Welcome to the Theme Cafe. " They said. There was a boy in the chair and six others surrounding him. " Hey Rene you left thirty minutes ago." Some whined going into a totally relaxed pose as she gave a smirk to them all.

" Oh shut it! You all know I was bound to come back later, but it seemed there was a change in ocurances. So I had to come way early." She said striding in as everyone dispearsed to what they were all originally doing. I looked to see the boys look from one another noticing the entrance greeting.

Someone in a waiter's costume approached us with eight menus and led us to a table. " We thought you'd be back later with your childhood friend not seven gorgeous men." The waiter said eying the bosy behind me honestly I was used to them getting this sort of attraction where ever we went now.

" I'm sorry but Rann did you just say seven and men?" Rene looked at the girl with a sarcastic gasp. Rann nodded. " The one next to me is a girl." Rene said with a higher voice as she giggled and linked my arm with her's.

The girl looked embarrassed. " I'm so sorry miss." She looked at me with a shock and apologetic look. I shook my head.

" It's okay you don't need to say sorry I'm used to being mistaken as a boy." I said with a reassuring smile. She nodded in embarassment and turned back to my blond friend.

" Rene, now like everyone esle said. You just left thirty minutes ago. Your back a bit early?" She said.

" Why wasn't everyone there during the welcome." Rene asked ignoring the question since she did answer it as we walked in.

" You know how popular the six of you are. Your just lucky that you got out of this time of day when everyone just got out of school." Rann said with an annoied tone in her voice. as we were seated at a table in the corner of the room.

Rene passed around our menus. " It'll be fine Rann your just new to this place you'll get used to the hectic hours." She said looking at her menu with a bored look.

" If you knew how busy it was then why did you want to get off work early?" Rann asked with a more sour note.

Rene gave a cold smirk. " Cause Haruhi means alot to the six of us, and they agreed to it at least one of us would be able to talk to her while the rest would just get part mentions. " She said as if she was expecting them to show up as she looked around the room.

" Drinks." Rann asked taking out the notepad still being all business as she tried to lecture Rene.

" Instant coffee." The boys asked in unison. " Usual." Rene told. " Green tea and water." I asked. " Okay then Six I.C's, Green Tea, water, and the house special." She repeated. Rene smiled." Good girl, who knows if we move on you can take over." Rene applauded. She bowed and went away.

" What's the house special?" Huni asked as he looked aroung the room clutching on to his dear Usa-chan.

" By looking at that adorable bunny your holding you must love rabbits alot?" She seemed to steer away from the comment looking at Usa-chan. He nodded in response. Hikaru and Kaoru stood up with a bored look on their faces." We're going to the bathroom to wash up before we forget." They said walking away.


- - - - -Hikaru Pov.- - - - -

We didn't really want to go the bathroom we just wanted a look of the place. It seemed that Rene is waiting for something inside this cafe. The cafe was quiet a fair size. It was two stories tall with a winding stair case in the middle of the room so coustomers can get up. Suddenly we heard a crash of plates behind us.

" They must have a clumsy new employee. " I said turning to Kaoru.

" Who knows it's probably their first day on the job first timers always make mistakes. " He said.

Suddenly two people knocked us on the ground and whiz past us on skates.

" Sorry!" I heard one yell back at us.

" Hurry Aoi we don't have time!" The other told to the person Aoi pulling them away. Kaoru looks towards me and nodded.

" Deffinately." He said as we both got up and went along with seeing the rest of the cafe. It must be a rotten day for the host club since Haruhi nearly got ran over by a car and we nearly got ran over two speed demons on skates!

We got back to the table were everyone else waited for us. " Sorry we nearly got ran over two crazy chicks on skates." I said. Rene looked towards us with an appologetic look.

" I'm so sorry Hikaru, Kaoru. Karin and Hikari are a bit out of hand sometimes I don't know where they got the skates. Please excuse them. Right now is a busy time during work days since students just got out of school. I'm sorry." She apologized.

Rin came with our drinks as it caught the eye of Huni-sempai. " I just love our new house glasses. Every time you order a special or a house drink you get one in these cups. We were able to save enough money for fifty glasses. " She smiled proudly as she took a sip of her drink.

" They were your and Mitsuki's idea. be glad that our house drinks increased in sale shortly after the purchase and is still increasing. Which reminds me, nevermind we'll deal with it at home. " A voice said in a monotone voice.

Someone approach behind Rann with a high mannered walk and put that edge mom always looked for in a models strut when they'd walk down the runway. Immedeately we knew it was a girl since the voice was very feminine to begin with. She wore glasses and was in a black butler's costume. The new comer had black hair draped over her left shoulder and dark blue eye. When she set her eyes on Rene she sighed.

" You told us you'd bring Haruhi not the entire Ouran Host Club." She glared at the blonde girl and crossed her arms. Rene laughed silently at her and was suddenly silented when we heard voices on the up on the second floor.

" The schools most handsomest boys who have to much time on their hands." A voice chimed with a bit of an attitude.

" Like to entertain young ladies who also have way to much time on their hands." a similar yet different voice continued.

" At Ouran Academy's playgrouond for the super rich and beautiful." two different voices ended as one giggled. The girl in front of us sighed in irritation and massage her temples.

" What am I to do with you guys..." She sighed to herself.

We looked at her in suspicion. " How do you know about our club. Miss?" Kyoya asked in his usual this-is-business voice. She looked towards Kyoya then gave a small smile.

" How rude of me I didn't properly introduce myself. I am Keioko Sai the Black Iced Rose of the Theme cafe. Welcome" She gave a small curtsy.

A waiter pulled up a chair for her to sit as we looked towards one another embarassed not to introduce themselves.

" Firstly I'm Kyoya Ootori of the Ootori group." He introduced himself annoyed that someone was playing at his level. " This is Huni Huninozuka and Mori Morinozuka." They both nodded their head as their name was annouced. " Then the two look alikes are the Hitachiin Twins. Hikaru on the left and Kaoru on the right. I'm sure the last on can introduce himself. " Kyoya said looking towards Tamaki.

" I'm Tamaki Suoh. Of the Suoh family company and Haruhi's boyfriend." Tamaki said.

" How sweet Haru-chan! You found your other half?" Rene asked. Keioko shot her a glance and shut her up from going on.

"It's very nice to meet the six of you and we know about your Host Club through our guest. Some come from your school and talk about you six boys and Mr. Fujioka-san here. " Keioko said.

" It seems that your school has mistaken you as a boy Haruhi...or were you forced into it because you broke something?" She said in a whisper. I saw everyone look at her wide eyed as she just figured out what's been goin on. Rene leaned in with her and a smirk slowly came on her face.

" Rene you have completely forgotten about some of our guest here. I'm happy that none of them caught what you said about Fujioka-san here." She said giving Rene more of a hint. Rene took a while she made an O with her mouth finally catching on.

"Gomen." She apologized. Keioko smiled content her friend got the idea.

" Well any orders you'd like?" Keioko asked us looking back at her watch for her to get back to work.


- - - - -Haruhi pov.- - - - -

" Oh I want a vanilla cake with strawberry filling topped with strawberries!" Huni-sempai immediately answered.

" I'll have the same." Mori said.

" We'll have the chocolate cake." The twins said.

" Creme Brulee`." Kyoya asked.

" Tiramisu." Tamaki ordered. Keioko looked over towards me for my answer.

The more I look at her she reminds me of that time that the boys dressed up as ladies, and she looks like Kyoya that day, but more feminine and in a butler's suit. " Ootoro." I said. She smiled. " As you wish masters." She said bowing before she left.

"What's that about. Masters we don't own this place." Hikaru said.

Rene laughed. " It's how we take orders here at Theme cafe. Rann didn't say it cause she's a newbie. Kieoko said it cause well that's how it goes and we're used to it. Those are the rules towards being a maid or a butler of Theme cafe. This week we focused on the guy's, last week the girls, and next week we'll be doing who knows." She said cheerfully drinking her smoothie.

Keioko came back a couple of minutes later. " Your sweets will be served shortly." She said in a sweet manner as she sat back down in her seat. Soon some other girls came in holding trays." Hey! there is only one of you that's supposed to serve! " Keioko scolded the up coming girls.

" We'll we're sorry Keioko, Boss, but it's not fair that you two get to see Haruhi... Wait. Where is she?" A familiar voice asked with sarcasm. Someone put their hand on my left shoulder. "Here she is the serious little dog." Another voice rang putting another hand on my right shoulder. I looked behind me to find two black haired girls with mischievous cat like green eyes wearing blue sailor outfits.

" Hikari! Kaori! It's a surprise that your here. Before I left I heard that you two were supposed to be moving to the country." I said lightly giving them a warm smile.

Tamaki pulled up a fork of his tiramisu towards me to try it. No one looked so I took the bite. I nodded to him eltting him know it was delicious.

" Well get going Karin, Hikari. There's alot of work to do in such little time." Keioko rushed them impatient.

" Just wait Keioko we'll be going when Ruka and Mitsuki get here with the first visit cake. " they said. Keioko pinned her glasses back to her bridge and was writing things down. I looked towards Hikari and Kaori and saw them staring at something outside the window.

I looked out to see a couple groups of boys walking outside the cafe and looking in looking at them. I looked towards the girls as Hikari wrapped an arm around Kaori.

" Ne, Kao-chan? Do you think that we can play a game to see if they can come in?" Hikari asked Kaori making her sister looking towards her.

" This is embarassing Hikari what if they come to take you away?" Kaori gave a small cry looking towards her sister in worry.

" I'd never let them tear us apart Kaori I don't think I can have a life without you." Hikari said leaning in closer to her sister only an inch away from each other. Keioko shot them both a look and they both ignored it.

"This is not the time to do this you two! We have a busy schedule and you two are doing your forbidden love thing." Keioko said with a slight bite in her tone as she started to rub her temples as Rene shot the twins a look.

Mitsuki and Ruka came towards us with a cake. They saw Keioko's frustration and Rene glaring at the twins. " Get these two right now I don't want us to be behind scedule. It's been a week since the last incident. I dont want anymore groups ruining the place and I want it to stay that way. Now please go before something else happens." Keioko said calming down. Before I could get a good look at them they were shoving the twins away.

" Hey that hurts! Mistuki, Ruka!" They both whined.

The boys looked at Keioko. " What happened last time? " Tamaki asked curiously.

" Last time an incident happened after the twins display. The group that came in were rivals. They broke three windows, seven tables and the grand piano." Rene answered stirring her drink as if it was really nothing.

We looked at her in shock. " The good part was that all the schools paid double." Keioko smiled coldly. Rene didn't seem to like the topic anymore so she gave decided to change the subject.

" So what have you been up after your mother died Haruhi other then being a host." Rene asked with a curious look on her face. I thought back for a minute.

" Well I still study to become a lawyer like my mom and make high marks at school. For now that's really everything else that isn't Host club associated. What about you guys?" I asked the two.

" Well as you can see we all are in the cafe working for the rent on the mansion that the six of us are living in. It's a little like your Host Club we all have a titles, but I don't want to say what they are. I have a special thing planned for it when it is needed. " Keioko said crossing her arms infront of her. " Rene went away this summer to see her cousin in the country and she's ..." Before Keioko could finished Rene covered her mouth and shook her head. Keioko nodded and skipped.

" The twins well their getting more creative with things and do more musical things. Mitsuki and Ruka won a trip to Hong Kong for a week during summer vacation. They said that all Mitsuki did was show up and she won." Keioko smiled.

" What contest was it?" Kaoru asked out of curiousity. "Let's just say she showed up without knowing what it was and won." Keioko said with a smile as Rene laughed. Then they started telling stories of what happened to them during their trips when they were all together.

" One time I think it was during spring break. The six of us went to a spa in the mountain reigon after winning it in a raffle. When we got there it was really late in the night, but we planned to go places really, really early, so I had to wake everyone up since it was easy for me.I started with the twins since they were the easiest,then Ruka, then Mitsuki by coaxing her to get up with her favorite sweets small strawberry spongecake. Then when it got to Keioko everyone else didn't want to wake her up. We had to play rock-paper-scissors and in the end I still had to wake her up. When I told her to get up and what time it was you could feel the air freeeze over when ever you got closer..." Rene went on with the story since I know I will hear it another five times later cause she loves to repeat stories just to make anyone to get pissed. I excused myself to the bathroom and before I made it in I heard my whole table laugh until a familiar blonde girl yelp in pain.

Later when I walked out the bathroom someone familiar called my name from behind. I looked to see it was and found Len and Yuki a couple of old friends that I haven't seen as long as the girls. Yuki had blackish blue hair and chocolate brown eyes and a calm smile. Len had messy blond hair, a wicked smile and clear blue eyes, course to me Tamaki violet blues were more mesmerizing.

" Haruhi is that you?" Yuki asked as the two came into the resturant. I looked at them with a wide eyes. The two of them have grown so much from the two childish boys I've seen and decent young men.

I smiled as I nodded and Len and Yuki approached. " What are you two doing here?" I asked the two. Len rolled his eyes.

" Well duh we came here to eat dinner." He said making a motion to the cafe.

We laughed on the stupid question. Rann came over and was leading them to a table next to ours. Len wrapped his arm around me to a hug. " I miss you so much!" He said looking down at me.

" Haruhi?" Tamaki called out. We turned and saw Tamaki was looking at Len's arm around my shoulder.

" What are you doing to Haruhi?" He asked Len with a bit of a bite in his tone. Len immedeately knew what he was doing wrong and took his arm off my shoulder, but held a smirk on his face.

" What I can't hug my daughter?" He said with a lazy look on his face. I gave Len a glare.

" For the thousandth time Len I'm not you daughter. Even before when you were the head of the "family" Len does not mean I am your daughter I already lectured you about it even then. Geez your as bad as your sister!" I said with a sour note.

" Touchy Ha-chan, thouchy." He said ruffling my hair as Yuki went and kissed Rene on the cheek then sat down in their table.

" He never changes does he?" Rene asked Yuki. Yuki shook his head looking in the menu.

Keioko crossed her arms and immedeately asked. " What Len, Rin's not home?" She sighed. " Oh and please don't do that to Haruhi infront of her friends and boyfriend." She told him.

" What if Kairo did that to Rin in front of you?" She said as I walked back to our table and sat down next to Tamaki. He wrapped an arm around my waist with a emotionless look on his face and made my heart skip a beat. He seems a bit possesive which made me laugh a bit.

" Sorry I didn't think that Haruhi would get a boyfriend. Especially one that has good looks. " Len teased me looking towards the boys.

" Hey!" I said. Someone thumped him on the back of the head an saw Rin she was totally identical to Len except that she had shoulder length lightly spiked.

" Len be nice. Just because you thought she'd never find one and have friends like these guys. You should be happy that she does have them then rather to ridicule her." She said lightly.

" I'm sorry Rin. I'm sorry Haruhi." He said with sincerity in his voice. The two gave each other a kiss on the lips and sat down with Yuki at their table holding each others hand.

I saw the guys' eyes bug out.

" Why'd you kiss her!" Kaoru and Hikaru asked in shock.

" She's my fiancee'. Is there anything wrong with that?" Len said letting go of Rin's hand and moved around her waist.

" Sure you love your twin more than anyone else but you don't have to go that far as to kiss them full on the lips!" Kaoru said.

" Especially as to go far as plan to marry them!" Hikaru said as the boys looked at them in confussion. They were over reacting so much that they made the others laugh. I couldn't blame the boys thought they really did look like twins. The boys looked at the as if they were insane that marrying your twin was okay.

" Rin, twin sister. Yeah sure and my best friend is a demon. No I'd never marry my own sister. I'd never see Rene in a intimate way. If I did that'd...ugh! I can't even see that!" Len started to say shaking his head from imagining being in love with Rene.

" Yeah I only have one sibling and she works along side Rene. It's Mitsuki." Rin said honestly putting an arm on Len's shoulder.

" Oh Haruhi the girls' band is going to have a show tomorrow at 8 pm in the Kizu Club. Would you and your friends like to come and watch." Rin asked. I looked at her confused.

" Oh yeah. Mitsuki, Ruka, Keioko, the twins and myself are in a band would you like to come see our performance?" Rene asked.

" Sure I haven't seen you guys preform in things in a while." I said. Rene handed me seven tickets to their gig.

" Thank you Rene we'll be sure to be their. " I said Everyone else nodded in agreement. I looked at the time and it was already late even if it seemed to be going . "Oh geez it's getting late. " I said. Kaoru yawned. " Ya it's getting late. We all better start heading home. " Kyoya said. Huni-sempai was already asleep, so Mori had to carry him to the car. " We'll see you guys tomorrow then have a nice meal." I said when we started to depart.


Again thanks guys it's an honor that you all read this story and I'm so happy to those who stayed with me with this confussing mess. This chapter is longer then the orginal but I thought I should add a little things into it since I will put use to it later. I hope you all will love the next chapter to Double Trouble.
