A/N: Well, five out of six reviews seemed to like this story. As for the one out of six, I guess it is somewhat of a mary-sue, and I guess it is a bit of a self-insert or else I won't be able to write the character well. But in all, I am very thankful for the reviews that are given. I will try to make it less mary-sue as much as possible, but there are no guarantees. Thank you for those that reviewed and giving a bit of time to write one. Edit: Thank you Mikikitty and Softballgeek for correcting me. I guess my tired eyes put the wrong chapter in the wrong story. I apologize to everyone for my lack of double-checking before putting my chapter in. Well here's the chapter for Cakes and Smiles. And again, I am completely sorry for my novice mistake.

Chapter Three

My hosting immediately started today. After my first day at Ouran Academy, which was yesterday, I found out how hard Haruhi had it. It was agreed upon by everyone that my status as a host will not be determined until they see how well I do. For now, I am considered as the rookie of the Host Club.

So far, I only gave out cakes and tea. No one requested me which I don't seem to mind at all. It was rather fun giving out cakes with tea. The aroma of each cake melted my heart, and the cakes were beautifully made. Someday, I will make cakes and pastries made beautifully like the ones that the Host Club is giving out.

"Saku! Saku! Come over here," Honey yelled. I smiled as I walked over to his table while pushing the cart of cakes and teas towards him. I nodded at the girls as a greeting before they squealed in happiness.

"I would like-," Honey started, thinking really hard before smiling brightly. "Why don't you pick it for me?"

I smiled, knowing his eyes are set upon the strawberry cake with the biggest strawberry on top. I didn't understand why he didn't say what he wanted when he knew what he wanted, but I obliged and picked his favorite cake out of the cart and placing it before him.

"Saku, you are the greatest! You knew what I like," Honey said happily while I carefully poured the tea that goes well with his strawberry cake.

"Well, you were looking straight at it, Honey. I'm just happy you gave me the chance to pick it for you," I told him with my usual smile before he looked away for some reason. The girls at the table squealed, making me confused as to why they did that.

"It is so 'Moe' that you made Honey blush like that, Saku-san," one of the girls at the table said before I looked at them confused.

"Why would he blush? Did I do something embarrassing?" I asked. The girls shook their head quickly.

"Hn," Mori sounded as I looked over at him.

"Oh yes, I should get you cake as well, shouldn't I, Mori?" I asked as he nodded with a smile. "Well, I don't think you want something too sweet or too bitter…"

I thought for a bit while I unknowingly stared at Mori in concentration. Suddenly, I heard loud laughter echoed throughout the club and felt the rumbling beneath my feet out. I turned around to see Renge and a platform popping up in the middle of the club out of nowhere.

"I see we have a glaring competition between Saku-san and Mori-senpai. Is this a battle of love for Honey-senpai?" Renge announced with a microphone she took out of nowhere.

Being completely confused, I said, "What are you talking about, Renge? I was just thinking about what kind of cake fits with Mori's taste."

Renge and some others fell over immediately at my explanation. Again with the falling over, I wonder if it was just me hallucinating.

"Then why did you gave him a glare as if challenging him for Honey's love," asked Renge. With a questionable look, I looked around to see almost every person pale even Honey looked like he was about to cry.

I looked over to the girls at Honey's and Mori's table and asked, "Did I really look like I was about to steal Honey away from Mori?"

The girls replied with vigorous nodding.

"Saku… you looked really scary," Honey cried, tears now pouring out of his eyes. I rubbed the back of my neck, feeling guilty for causing a scare to everyone that saw me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Will everyone forgive me?" I said before kneeling down on the ground and bowing my head low while I waited for everyone's forgiveness.

I felt a small finger lifting my chin up and saw Honey's chocolate brown eyes. For some reason, his gaze started to make my face heat up but I couldn't just look away. Suddenly, he smiled and then immediately hugged me afterwards. I was completely shocked by the sudden hug and then Mori joined in with hugging me. And of course, my whole body froze. All I could hear are girls squealing loudly, but my mind was set on a pair of big muscular arms that touched me.

"Oh, isn't this beautiful! The sharing of Honey's love has made two enemies become allies," Renge announced before I heard laughter and felt rumbling beneath my feet before it stopped. I guess Renge left in her unusual way again.

"Mori," I finally uttered with a pause.

"Hn," he sounded in a questioning manner.

"Don't. Ever. Touch. Me," I yelled before I threw him a foot away. I realized at what I've done and immediately apologized to Mori when he came back while he rubbed his head from the pain. All the girls that squealed had turned quiet and I apologized to them as well.

And of course, I bowed to them and said once more, "I am deeply sorry for my actions. I hope everyone will forgive me for my violent nature."

I felt a sudden hold on me and knew for sure it belonged to some guy other than Honey, and I immediately grappled him on the ground with one of my wrestling moves.

"Mama, help me!"

I found out later it was Tamaki before I stopped and let go of him. I apologized to him as well, but it seemed by now that every girl was afraid to come near me. I could see that I wasn't host material if I made the girls get scared by my own actions.

Well, that thought, changed immediately until a girl was brave enough to come up to me. She was quite a shy girl. Her bangs hid her eyes while she looked shyly away from me. I couldn't help but smile at the girl who reminded me of a friend that I made way back when I was a kid.

"May I help you," I asked nicely. She nodded, still not looking at me.

I waited for her to speak, but it took a short moment before she said something.

"I-Is i-it true," she asked in a barely audible voice.

"True?"

"Th-that you don't th-throw or h-hurt girls," she answered more clearly this time. She gave me a quick glance before looking away.

I smiled at the question before I gently placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked at me and I flashed a smile at her to let her know that she wouldn't get hurt. Suddenly, she smiled back before hugging me back. I was caught by surprise from the sudden action.

"C-can I re-request you, S-Saku-san," she blurted with a yell. She gasped before she let go of me and covered her mouth with her hands. I chuckled before I nodded.

"I would love to," I told her. She squealed before I showed my arm to her like those gentleman would do in the movies. She slowly took my arm before I led her to a table.

"Y-you are v-very kind, S-Saku-san," she told me. I chuckled once more and poured some tea for her.

"Thank you…" I started before I noticed that she didn't give me her name. "Um… I apologize for my rudeness, but may I know your name?"

"I-It's L-Leiko. Leiko Katsunaga," she told me in her barely audible voice before she looked shyly away again. "I know my name means "arrogant", but my parents gave me that name so that I would be able to grow up not being arrogant. I am very grateful no matter what people might say."

She spoke the latter so fast it was almost impossible for me to understand. I smiled and nodded before I lifted her chin so that she could look at me. When I met her gaze, I could finally see the brown eyes she tried to hide behind her bangs. I took out my hair clips that I would use whenever I needed it and used it on Leiko. Her black bangs no longer hid her eyes. Her eye shape and eye color reminded me of almonds.

"Leiko is a beautiful name," I told her with a smile. She squealed before hugging me.

"You are so gentle, and your hands are so soft, Saku-san! It is as if it belongs to a girl's!" She yelled, almost sounding happy to me.

Other girls squealed and found some of them surrounding our table.

"Is he really?" One asked. Leiko nodded.

"If you don't mind, Saku-san, can we touch your hands," asked another. I looked at her confused but nodded, not knowing why she wants to touch it. She suddenly squealed and said how soft it was. It suddenly got out of hand when they all asked for permission.

Thankfully, Kyoya stepped in and spoke.

"Now, now, girls. This is Saku's first time hosting. If you want to touch his hands, you need to get in line," Kyoya said, a smirk written on his face while he vigorously wrote on his notebook. I fell over, knowing why Haruhi told me to watch out for him. He is quite scary indeed.

After the Host club finished, I lied on the couch and looked at my hands. I was pretty surprised that my hosting started because of my hands. I need to thank my mother for that. She always wanted me to use rice water on my face and hands so that it would get soft and smooth. Guess it helped in ways I didn't expect it to.

"Saku-san, you were quite troublesome," Kyoya told me and I gave him an apologetic look.

"But in the end, Leiko gave a gracious smile. You are host material," Tamaki said before he smiled and continued, "Congratulations, Saku! You are no longer a rookie host." He hugged Haruhi close to him while he said that. Haruhi, obviously, looked unhappy.

"Now, we need to give you a type," Kyoya said.

Immediately, Honey jumped up with his hand raised high while he yelled, "Ooh, ooh! I have one!"

Kyoya looked over at him and said, "Yes, Honey-senpai?"

"Saku should be the 'awesome' type," Honey yelled with a large smile before hugging me.

I looked away from him and blushed.

"Thank you, Honey, but I don't think that it is a good description of me," I told him, giving him a soft smile to gesture that I am really thankful for his kindness.

"But I think you are," he said quietly to me with a frown on his face. I almost thought I saw bunny ears drooping down on his head.

"The one I think is awesome is you, Honey," I told him. His eyes sparkled and the bunny ears that I imagined perked up. It was then that I turned to everyone. "And so is everyone. You guys are just as awesome as Honey."

Everyone suddenly fell over, including Honey.

"That's so mean, Saku," Honey cried. I was shocked, not knowing what I said wrong this time.

"I thought it was quite cute you told Honey that, but…" One of the twins started.

The other twin finished by saying, "In the end, it was a disappointment with all that unnecessary stuff."

"But you guys are awesome," I said, still confused as to why they were unhappy at me telling them that. I thought they liked compliments.

"Saku, you are quite clueless sometimes," said Haruhi. The guys fell over again.

"I don't think you are the one to say something like that, Haruhi," Tamaki said.

"And what does that mean?" Haruhi asked, looking a bit angry. Tamaki's eyes widened before he ran to her and held her hands.

"Oh, I didn't mean it like that, Haruhi!" Tamaki cried before he hugged her again. This time Haruhi grumbled under her breath with an irritated look this time.

"If everyone is rather finished, we still need to give Saku a type," Kyoya said before he pushed up his glasses.

"Kyoya is right. We need to be on track and I've got just the thing," Tamaki said happily before reluctantly letting Haruhi go. Haruhi didn't mind at all. She was quite glad, really.

"And?" The twins asked in unison.

"Saku should be called the 'confusing' type," Tamaki said proudly. Everyone, other than me, looked at Tamaki with expressionless faces.

"L-A-M-E," one of the twins spelled out.

"Lame," the other twin said.

"It doesn't give off a good vibe with such a title," Kyoya agreed with the twins. Tamaki cried and went to the corner where darkness suddenly surrounded him.

"Um… do I really need to have a type?" I asked, seeing that titles are becoming quite a hassle to the club.

"Yes, indeed. Each of us has our own types including Haruhi, and so you must have one as well," Kyoya said. I sighed before I had to think one for myself as well. What type should I be?

A/N: I need your help. What type should Sakuno be? Your thoughts are most welcomed. And please, no flames.
