Me: Hey guys hope you like this chapter. Remember REVIEW! Oh yeah and I edited last chapter so it's better. Read it.


"What did you say," Mitsukuni asks, "I couldn't understand you." I mentally slap myself for saying what I did. I pull my body from his. The scent radiating from him is dizzying; I can't concentrate this close to him.

"Thank you for catching me Mitsukuni senpai." I stutter while bowing. I hope that I can change the subject on the sly. I look back up into Mitsukuni's eyes. Our eyes meet once again; before we knew what we are doing we start to lean into each other.

"What!" I hear of chorus of voices screech from the door. Mitsukuni's and my head snap toward the sounds. The rest of the hosts were standing at the door, though Mori and Kyoya were the only ones to seem unfazed. They simply walk past their stunned friends and put away their things. Tamaki is the first to regain his cognitive functions.

"What did you just call him, Haruhi? You can't be close to anyone besides Daddy! I won't allow it." He shouts. Behind him the twins slowly unfreeze. Mitsukuni grabs my hand and stands me up next to him.

"Haruhi can call me whatever she pleases Tama chan." He retorts with a pout and a small fist on his hip. I would have yelled at Tamaki as well, if I wasn't so hypnotized by Hani's cuteness. "Last time I checked, you weren't her father." He continues while pulling me out of the kitchen with everyone following, all traces of his cuteness are gone. I then realize he does this on purpose sometimes. He knew when to act like Hani, the cute boy who no one suspects, and Mitsukuni, who is obviously older, more mature, and possibly colder than anyone here. Mitsukuni sends Tamaki a small glare that in turn sends him straight to a corner. The twins recognize that Hani is not to be messed with today and back down, although I am not sure if they are still angry or not.

"Where are our surprises?" They ask in unison successfully changing the subject. I laugh and then smile at them. They look like little kids. They stare eagerly as I go to retrieve their treats. By now all of the other hosts are eyeing me curiously, obviously having no clue as to what the twins were talking about.

As I return I hand two bags to the twins. They open them and gasp. "You made this for us?" They ask with pure joy embedded in their faces. I can't help but feel the guilt fades from my heart.

"I made some for everyone." I reply as I go to distribute the cookies. Mori senpai pats my head with a small smile and Tamaki bursts from his mushroom corner and raves about the joy of receiving objects of adoration from his 'beloved daughter'.

"Kyoya senpai, these are yours." He takes them from me with a smirk and an adjustment of his glasses. I gulp. What is he trying to charge me with now?

"Tell me Haruhi," He asks "Did you make these here?" A smile stretches across my face.

"Ha" I shout. I figured he would want to tack these onto my debt. "No, I made them in Home Economics Room Two." I smile triumphantly into the face of the Shadow King. For once I avoid a debt increase. His smirk fades and I skip over to Mitsukuni senpai caught up in my happiness. He looks at me with a big grin.

"Can I have you instead?" He asks in a cute Lolita voice. It takes a second for it to register in my head.

"What did you just say?" I exclaim. He tilts his head to the right and throws me a perplexed look. Why is he confused I should be the confused one here?

"I said can I have mine now?" I release a nervous laugh.

"Of course you can." I hand him his cookies. I start to walk away when I am pulled back by my wrist. He then spins me around to face him. Sometimes I can do nothing more than just admire his hidden strength.

"What did you think I had said?" He questions with a cute look on his face, but I know that he is pretending to be Hani right now. Mitsukuni was really the one in charge. I make Mitsukuni senpai seem like he has multiple personalities when I talk about him this way. A small shudder runs down my back at the thought. There is no way I would be able to face him again if I tell him. Tamaki, Hikaru, and Kaoru rise up from behind Mitsukuni eerily.

"Yeah Haruhi, What were you thinking?" They ask. I pull my hand from senpai's grip and start to panic. I am in so much trouble. I don't want Mitsukuni to find out I like him in this sort of way.

"It's time to pose." Kyoya says while typing on his computer. We all turn to face him. I release I big sigh when everyone walks away.

The double doors open and we greet the girls with exceptional charm and smiles. When the group brakes apart to tend to our own costumers Mitsukuni pulls me to him.

"We can continue our earlier conversation later," He whispers into my ear. My face pales a little; I thought I had changed the subject back then. "Isn't that right Haru chan?" He confirms in his regular voice. I nod sharply, perhaps a little too sharply, and watch as he runs off to play with Mori and his costumers. He is as sly as he is cute. I will never underestimate him again!

"What was that about Hani senpai?" I over hear his fans ask him. He give them a big smile then glances back towards me with knowing eyes.

"It's a secret between boys." He turns back to his audience. "Now, who wants cake?" I nod to myself and start my duties. Yep, I definitely won't underestimate him again.

For the better part of the afternoon I try to avoid direct contact with Mitsukuni senpai. Since Mitsukuni senpai is bound to discover the fact that I like him soon, I thought that I might as well use this time to analyze his interactions with his fans. I figure that if his expressions with his fans were the same with me than that means he only likes me as a friend. I watch as they called him cute and the look on his face when he feeds them. One girl went so far as to give him a kiss on the cheek. There is no change in behavior with any of them. This must be his constant, I realize. If I give him different reactions to the same actions I should have my answers.

"Haru chan!" Mitsukuni senpai shouts. I jump up in surprise and almost spill the tea in my hand. When I know that it is safe I wipe some sweat from my brow. I should have been relieved but I could feel a dark aura behind me. I turn slowly to see Kyoya staring at the cup. I laugh a little hysterically.

"I didn't spill a drop Kyoya senpai. You can't add anything to my debt." All he did was give me his signature host smile.

"We'll see about that." My nervous giggles leave at that exact moment. With all of my cocky relief I think I might have incurred the wrath of the Shadow King.

"Haru chan, come here!" I snap from my thoughts and rush to Mitsukuni.

"Ah, yes Mitsukuni Senpai?" His costumers gape at my sudden closeness with Mitsukuni senpai. It would be awkward if people only heard me say Mitsukuni's name. "Would you, these ladies, or Takashi senpai need anything?" I say with a natural smile. If there was any suspicion amongst the girls, it is now gone. Mitsukuni nods his head vigorously.

"Can you get me some tea Haru chan?" I look into my hands.

"I was planning on drinking this myself but you can have it." I hand him the still steaming cup. "Takashi senpai would you like some as well?" He grunted a no and turns to look out of the window. Three girls fainted and I mentally roll my eyes. I look back at Mitsukuni senpai his hanging low as if he troubled.

"Mitsukuni senpai, what's wrong?" He looks up at me with tears in his eyes. It's so cute that I start to blush.

"You shared your tea Haru chan." I sit next to him and wipe away his falling tears with my thumbs.

"It's okay Mitsukuni senpai you don't have to cry." I say softly. Across from us more girls faint. His tears stop forming and a sudden smile stretches across his face.

"I know I'll share my cake." He shouts sweetly. He quickly takes a piece with his fork and hovers it outside my mouth. "Say ah!" I should be analyzing Mitsukuni's face but all I can think about is indirect kiss we are about to share. I blush madly but do as I am told.

"This cake is sweet, like you Mitsukuni senpai." I give a small smile. I look at my senpai to catch a flash of pink rush to his cheeks. I think I stunned him. Does this mean my feelings will be reciprocated? Mitsukuni regains his composure and smiles.

"Wai, you're so nice Haru chan." The rest of the hour I try to see how many times I can make Mitsukuni senpai blush. It came out to four more times after that. Either he likes me as well, or I just embarrass him.

When the girls all leave and other hosts start to go home I decide I should also leave. I go into the kitchen to gather my belongings, but I get stopped before I can make it to the exit.

"Mitsukuni senpai is everything alright?" I ask, worried by his sudden serious expression. Then I remember what he told me as the club activities started.

"Hey Haru chan, I need to ask you something." I try to steady my breathing a little before I answer him.

"Of course, what is on your mind?" Mitsukuni walks towards me and I step back in response. I try to escape, but my back hits the island table in the middle of the kitchen, and then Mitsukuni places his hands on the table, they land on either side of my waist. He has me pinned. My eyes migrate to the ceiling.

"Look me in the eyes Haruhi." The lack of my nickname only emphasizes his seriousness. I comply by reluctantly lowering my gaze. A blush sets my face ablaze with heat. "Haruhi do you like me?"

The heat brought to my face intensifies. Was I that obvious? How is he going to react if I say yes? I swallow my pride and take a deep breath.

"I do, but the true question is," My words hitch in my throat for a second, almost refusing to complete my thought. I clear my throat. "The question is, how do you feel about me?"
