Chapter 4- Jealousy Runs Deep

"How does he know Haruhi's a girl anyway?" Tamaki was pacing back and forth in the music room, hands behind his back. " I don't get it! How?"

"Milord, remember that Haruhi did go to other schools before this one," the twins piped in.

"But she's the only one that came from her junior high, so how!"

"Well," Hunny chimed, taking his cake away from his mouth, "What if he went to elementary school with her."

"Or maybe he figured it out because the girls may be fooled but he's not," the twins said.

"No! That's impossible. There is no way that he would know that she's a girl from that."

"I still believe that it's the elementary school idea," Hunny said, munching happily on his cake.

"We have to save her!" Tamaki yelled.

"Save?" Kyoya asked, looking up from his clipboard.

"Yes, we shall spy on her and when he's not looking, snatch her away."

"Didn't she say that she wouldn't speak to you anymore if you did that?"

Tamaki's eyes filled with tears as he nodded his head. He knew that that would happen, he just didn't want to admit it. As he began to go into his sulking position, Haruhi entered the room.

"Hey guys," she said. "Is business slow today, or..?"

"Tamaki is wallowing in too much self pity to entertain," Hunny said with a smile.

"Self pity about what?"

"You dating that guy," the twins said in unison. "He doesn't understand how he knows you're a girl."

"I don't think he does."

"What?" They all said.

"Yeah, I really don't think he knows, odd as that sounds. But I really don't care. He's a cool kid."

"A cool kid? Doth mine ears deceive me? Haruhi, how can you even think of dating him? How do you know he's not a perv?"

"First off Tamaki, it's none of your business. Second, I'm only going out with him so he'll leave me alone. Third, if he were a perv it really wouldn't matter because I wouldn't be here right now would I? I'll bet you're all angry and jealous because I have other friends besides you. If you can't live with the fact that Shoji and I are friends then maybe I shouldn't be friends with the members of the host club anymore!"

A deadly silence filled the room. Haruhi was fuming with anger. There she was, coming back to the boys because she missed them, and she was being harassed about her new friend. As she looked at all the faces staring at her, she was hurt to see the twins looking away in shame.

Almost as if on cue, Shoji entered. "Ready to go Haruhi?"

"Yep." She locked her arm in his. "Let's go."

"Hikaru, are you really that hurt over Haruhi?" Kaoru asked as they changed into their pajamas. It had been hours since the blow out at the club, and they were now getting ready for bed.

"Of course not," Hikaru responded. "Why would I?"

"You seem to have taken a liking to her since you two went on that date."

Hikaru blushed a little. "It's not that. I've just become better friends with her, that's all."

Kaoru wrapped his arms around his brother's shoulders. "You can't lie to me Hikaru. I know you better than that."

Hikaru pulled away embarrassed that his brother could see right through him. "Okay so I like her, but what about you?"

"I'll never tell."
