Normal POV

A young boy in the Ouran Academy middle school uniform made his way through the school, on his way to a certain room. In the middle of his walk to his destination, one of his teachers from the Elementary School department caught up with him.

"Shiro-kun! Shiro-kun, where are you going?" The old teacher yelled as he ran to the young boy. Shiro stopped walking as the teacher stopped behind him and tried to catch his breath.

"Where are you going, Shiro-kun? You're going to be late for rehearsals." He said. Shiro stayed silent for a few moments before replying. "I'm quitting." And with that, he walked away.

It took a few seconds for the teacher to process what the young boy just told him.

"What? Shiro-kun, come back!" He yelled. He was about to start running again in order to catch up with him but Shiro was already too far away.

'The 3rd music room on the 3rd floor of the High School department…' He thought to himself as he made his way to the destination.

He stopped in front of the door and slowly reached up to put his hand on the handle. He slowly opened the door as a bright light shone through the crack that grew bigger and bigger as he opened it wide. And there, right in the middle of the room, was a group of teenagers known as, - who else could it be? – The Ouran Host Club, who were dressed in island costumes.

"Well, hello there, young man. What is your name?" Asked the blonde one who was seated in a chair that seemed to resemble a throne. The boy could only stare at them as he stuttered his name. "Shi-Shiro Ta-Taka-Takaouji…"

The blonde smiled softly. "Hello there, Shiro-kun. My name is Tamaki." He motioned for him to come closer. Shiro entered the room, shutting the door behind him, and stood in front of the teenagers. Once Shiro was close enough, Tamaki spoke again. "May I ask you as to why you are here?"

A determined and serious look appeared on Shiro's face as he pointed to Tamaki. "I want you to teach me how to be a host!"

"So you're taking him in as an apprentice?" One of Tamaki's customers asked him. "Why, yes! He seemed so determined that I just couldn't refuse him!" Tamaki answered, his princely smile appearing on his face. The young lady could not hold in all her feelings when she nearly fainted at the sight of the blonde's handsome smile.

"Oh, Tamaki! You are just so compassionate!" Tamaki wrapped his arms around her and brought her close, but then… "Ahem." They both turned to see who had just interrupted their moment and saw Shiro-kun standing there with a tea set on a tray in his hands.

He looked at Tamaki. "I brought you some tea." He then looked to the customer. "Shall I pour you some tea, Ojou-sama?" A charming smile on his young face. The girl, accompanied by some other customers who ran to her side to join her, put her fists to her chest and hearts appeared on her eyes as she and the other girls squealed their hearts out. "He is such a sweetheart!"

"He is so charming!"

"He's so adorable!"

"He's just the cutest thing!" Each girl commented about what they thought about the temporary addition to the Host Club. Tamaki stood up from his seat and nodded at Shiro. Shiro understood and stepped forward to give Tamaki's customer some tea. Tamaki went to stand behind him as he watched him work. When Shiro finished, Tamaki ruffled his hair. "Good work, Shiro-kun! You'll be a proper host and be able to serve the ladies all by yourself in no time." He encouraged. Shiro smiled and left to go help Haruhi out with the food and drinks.

"You're doing a good job of training him, Tamaki!" said one of his customers. Tamaki smiles at them.

Shiro stood dumbstruck as he watched the two Devil Twins do their normal routine of their "Brotherly Love" stuff, and then suddenly, something about the same size as him came and suddenly tackled him.

"Shi-chan! Do you want to play with me?" Asked Mitsukuni, holding his Usa-chan. "Wha-what? But you look like an elementary student!" Shiro stuttered as he walked backwards in shock, only for his back to touch something hard and sturdy. He turned around as he looked upward to see Takashi looking down at him.

"Are you bothering Mitsukuni?" Mitsukuni jumped onto Takashi's back with tears in his eyes that Shiro only noticed then. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings!" 'but seriously, he's a high school student?' He thought. He continued walking backwards as Takashi continued to stare at him but then ended up almost tipping Haruhi, who was carrying a tea set on a tray, over.

"Ahh! Whoa there, Shiro-kun!" She yelled, gaining her balance. "Ah! I'm so sorry, Haruhi-niisan!" He said. Haruhi smiled at him. "It's alright. You're a bit freaked out by this, aren't you? Don't worry, I was like that as well when I first got here, but I got used to it. You'll do so as well soon." She gave him a cheerful look that seemed to resemble that of a…

"Crossdresser." All the male hosts froze at that simple word as they stopped whatever they were doing. Tamaki and the twins ran to Haruhi's side as fast as they could. The twins stood by Haruhi as Tamaki covered Shiro's eyes.

"Haha! You're so funny, Shiro-kun!" Hikaru laughed.

"Yeah, Shiro-kun! Never knew you were the joking type." Kaoru laughed as well, quickly agreeing with his brother.

Shiro removed Tamaki's hand from his eyes so he could see and then stared at the twins. "But 'he' speaks just like a girl."

'This kid is smarter than we thought.' The twins thought to themselves as they looked at the elementary kid with wary eyes.

"No, no, Shiro-kun!" Tamaki said. They all looked at him. "Haruhi is most definitely a boy, see!" And before any of them knew, Tamaki placed his hand right on Haruhi's chest. Her chest.

"See, Shiro-kun! As flat as a board!" The twins, Mitsukuni, and Takashi could only look at him with stupefied eyes. They knew Tamaki was an idiot, but they didn't think he was this big of an idiot!

Kyouya was the only one who concealed his emotions quite well. Except for the fact that he held his pen so tight that he actually managed to break it in half.

"That idiot…" He mumbled. Okay, maybe he didn't really hide his emotions that well.

Haruhi could only hold onto her wrath as she forced a smile out of her face. "Yes, Shiro-kun." She was unconsciously twitching her left eye as she forced the words out of her mouth. "I am most definitely a boy! Just as Tamaki-senpai said, I am as flat as a board!" Her face turned into one of those creepy smiles you would see in horror movies. You know, the one with the really wide eyes and the really wide smile.

"Hmm…" Shiro thought, holding his chin. In order to convince him more, which was just the dumbest thing a person could ever do in human history, Tamaki pressed his hand harder into Haruhi's chest. This last movement caused Haruhi to clench her fists as she restrained herself from punching Tamaki. This also caused Kyouya to grip onto his black notebook so tight, he actually managed to wrinkle it. Both the pages inside, and the black leather cover.

"Hmm… I guess you're right!" Shiro said. Tamaki then removed his hand from Haruhi's chest. "I told you, Shiro-kun! Now how about you take this tea set and serve it to the ladies so that Haruhi could do some other manly tasks?" Shiro smiled as Haruhi handed him the tray and he gratefully took it from her before bouncing off to the customers.

Haruhi turned her head to look at Tamaki almost like how the girl from The Exorcist did. Almost because it's not like she could turn her head in a 180 degrees angle. And then she said to all the hosts, "Kitchen. NOW." All the other hosts, except for Kyouya, scrambled to the kitchen, tripping over each other or their own feet, with Kyouya calmly following behind them.

Once they were all inside the kitchen, Haruhi stepped in as well. She closed the door and locked it behind her, silently thanking the gods that the walls in this school are soundproof.

She turned around, her eyes looking like glowing red dots that showed she was furious. The twins, Kyouya, Mitsukuni, and Takashi all simultaneously took a step backwards, leaving Tamaki to stand all by himself.

Tamaki gulped in fear.

The next thing everyone knew, Tamaki was nursing a dark red, hand-shaped mark on his left cheek as Haruhi, who had her back turned to him and the other hosts, clapped her hands together, as if ridding herself of the dirt her hands could have come into contact with.

"Well, she's angry!" The twins exclaimed silently. The other three hosts nodded their heads slowly, in fear that Haruhi might release her anger out on them as well.

"Was that really necessary, Haruhi?" Haruhi turned her head at him again.

This time there was a red hand-shaped mark on his right cheek as well. Haruhi stared at him with her arms crossed over her chest. "You're asking me if that slap was necessary?"

"All I did was prove that you are a boy!"

"Yes, by indirectly insulting me!" She yelled back at him, the red glowering eyes coming back to make him nearly piss his pants.

"And do I have to remind you that I am still a girl? You can't just go ahead and touch my chest like that!" She yelled, instinctively holding herself over her chest.

"I'm sorry…" He said.

Haruhi took a deep breath. "Whatever. Let's just go back outside before the ladies start wondering where we are." With that, she unlocked the door and walked out of the room.

"Why's she so angry?" Tamaki whimpered to the other hosts. "All I did was make sure my little girl's secret was safe!" The other hosts could only sigh and walk out of the room behind Haruhi as they shook their heads at their boss' stupidity.

Kyouya stopped by Tamaki's side and clutched onto his best friend's shoulder, his eyes on the ground as the light made his glasses gleam, indicating that he had something up his sleeve. "If you ever do that to Haruhi again…" Tamaki turned to his best friend with curious eyes. "I will not hesitate to hurt you." He threatened. He then let go and walked away.

"Hmm…" Tamaki said, tapping his chin as he looked at the boy in front of him. The other hosts silently stood behind him in a line. "We have to think of Shiro-kun's type." Kyouya stated, the earlier mishap already forgotten. The twins, Mitsukuni, and Takashi nodded in agreement. Haruhi and Kyouya just watched.

"Type?" Shiro asked.

Kyouya started to explain. "You see, here at the Ouran Host Club, our policy is to use our individual personality traits to meet the needs of our guests.

"For example, there's Tamaki who is the princely type; there's Mori-senpai, the strong silent type; Hunny-senpai, the loli-shota type; the twins who are the little devil type; me, as the cool type; and Haruhi, who holds us all together, as the natural type."

Haruhi gave him a confused look as she pointed to herself. "The natural type?"

"So now we have to think of a type for you." Kyouya said.

"Well, the automatic thing for him to be is the loli-shota type." Kaoru said.

"But Hunny-senpai has already taken that title." Hikaru pointed out. Mitsukuni had tears in his eyes as he clutched onto Takashi's leg.

"Hm… if you can't be the loli-shota type, then what could you be…" Tamaki said to himself. All of a sudden, the ground started to rumble as a platform burst out of the floor.

"MWUAHAHAHAHA!" An annoying voice laughed. They all turned to the top of the platform to see Renge standing there. "You are all such a disgrace! You all lack some sort of imagination."

"What do you mean, Renge?" Tamaki asked.

Haruhi turned to the twins. "I thought this was a music room?"

"I mean, you are all looking at the general types! There are so many types that are out there, yet you are all so close-minded that you cannot see the other possibilities!" She exclaimed, twirling around the room.

"Like what?" The twins asked simultaneously. Renge rolled her eyes at them. "As you said, the obvious choice would be the loli-shota type, but Hunny-senpai already fits that role perfectly, so that option is rejected."

"So what other option do you have then?" Haruhi asked. Renge gave her a smirk.

"Hmm… The naughty type!" All the hosts, including Shiro, looked at her as if she just grew an extra boon.

"Ha?" They all simultaneously said. Renge rolled her eyes at them again. "The naughty type! What girl wouldn't be head-over-heels for a boy who is young, cute, and a bad boy? It's like, the elementary version of 'the school bad boy'." She explained.

"Ah…" The hosts now nodded in understanding, but Shiro looked at all of them confused. Renge then pointed a finger at him. "Get him!" The twins held him by the arms as she got some eyeliner and began drawing fake scars on his face and knees and even adding a few band-aids here and there.

The twins both stood away from each other from two sides of the room and held the ends of a rope. Renge blew the whistle and Shiro took off running. "Faster!" She yelled. Shiro ran faster. "More reckless!' Shiro followed her orders. "Now trip!" He ran towards the rope and tripped over it, falling to the floor hard. "Now say your catch phrase!" Shiro wiped some dirt off his face. "It's ok; it doesn't hurt at all."

Renge squealed in content. "Perfect! Just absolutely perfect!" Tamaki stood beside her and took her hands in his. "You did a wonderful job, Renge! I never knew you were such an excellent coach!" Renge put a hand in front of her mouth as she laughed a very haughty laugh. "Why, thank you, Tamaki! Anyway, it seems like my work here is over!" And with that, she stepped back onto her platform and it descended back to wherever the Hell it came from.

The hosts then all turned to Shiro. "Well, Shiro…" Tamaki said. The young boy looked up at him with a curious face. "Are you ready to start hosting?"

"Oh, Shiro-kun! You are so adorable!"

"I totally agree! You are most probably the most adorable boy I have ever seen!" Most of the customers were all cuddling Shiro-kun, or at least those who were closest to him were, while the rest of the hosts, who were seated close together with their customers, watched from afar.

"Well, it seems like Shiro-kun's popularity escalated rather quickly…" Kyouya stated. The other hosts nodded their heads.

"You got that right." The twins said.

Tamaki nodded his head in agreement. "Renge did a pretty good job, don't you think?" He smiled at Haruhi.

Haruhi glanced at him from the corner of her eye and gave him a small smile. "Yeah, that's true." Then she looked back at Shiro. She couldn't help but notice the small look of distain on his face. It was almost as if he didn't want to be hosting any of the ladies around him, but maybe it was a certain lady he wanted to host.

Kyouya couldn't help but feel a bit jealous at the small smile Haruhi gave Tamaki. No matter how small it was, he couldn't help but feel angry. It was so rare of her to smile like that at him and he couldn't help but feel jealous… Even if Tamaki is his best friend.

Kyouya was taken out of his thoughts when Haruhi started talking. "You know, I think there is another reason as to why Shiro wanted to become a host, or at least wanted to learn how to be a host…" Haruhi pointed out. The other hosts looked at her curiously, wondering what she meant. "What do you mean, Haruhi?" Kyouya asked. Haruhi continued eyeing Shiro. "Well, if you think about it, boys his age wouldn't really be this interested in getting the attention of most of the girls, right?" The other hosts nodded. "Well, what if Shiro-kun only wanted to impress one girl?" The hosts looked at her stupefied. Never did that thought ever cross their minds.

"Now that you think about it…" Kaoru starts.

"…She does have a point." Hikaru ends. The twins both looked at each other and nodded before looking at the others.

"How about tomorrow, we try to investigate?" The twins asked simultaneously, a mischievous smile appearing on their faces as they looked at Kyouya. Kyouya looked at them curiously before understanding what they were trying to tell them. Kyouya looked at the other male hosts and nodded before looking at Haruhi, all with a sly grin on their faces.

She looked at them with a straight face. "… What the hell are you rich bastards planning?"

"I can't believe they made me do this…" Haruhi sighed. "Still, it's kind of surprising that this thing fits me." She looked down at herself to double check if the dark maroon uniform of the female elementary students was properly worn. She was also wearing a straight, long brown wig, just like the one she wore in the party a few weeks back.

She sighed as she glanced at Mitsukuni who was wearing the green elementary school uniform for boys. He was currently checking if the coast was clear before he and Haruhi would infiltrate the elementary school department, but his efforts proved to be futile as the other students' attention was already on them.

"How did we let them talk us into this?" Haruhi asked him. "It'll be ok, Haru-chan! It was so easy to sneak in! And wearing this uniform, I really look like I'm in elementary school!" Mitsukuni said.

Haruhi put a finger to her chin. "Yeah, you do. I can understand why they wanted you to wear an elementary school uniform, I mean, we are sneaking into an elementary school, and you totally fit in, senpai!" She said. "What I don't understand is why they made me dress up in this middle school uniform…"

"Oh, Haruhi… I assure you, there is a reason as to why we made you dress up like this… A damn good reason…" Tamaki said under his breath, only loud enough for those who are near him to hear.

"This way, Haru-chan!" Mitsukuni said, taking her arm and dragging her to one of the classrooms.

"Isn't she the cutest?" The twins both said.

"Ohh, she looks so adorable in that outfit!" Tamaki squealed. "Look at her in that miniskirt; Haruhi looks like a little doll!" He squealed again, his face turning into a deep shade of red.

"So, basically you just wanted to see her dressed up like that?" Kyouya asked. 'That little pervert…' Kyouya couldn't help but feel anger and jealousy almost taking over him. He knew that Tamaki had feelings for Haruhi, and that Haruhi had feelings for him, but he couldn't help but feel it. He knew you could never really control love, but it still hurt knowing that the first person you ever loved… actually loved someone else.

Your best friend for that matter.

Mitsukuni opened the doors to one of the classrooms. "This is it; Shiro-chan's classroom!" He opened it wider and ran inside. "When I was in elementary school, this was my classroom too!"

Haruhi stepped inside after him, leaving the door open behind her. "There's nobody here." She said.

"So the kid's classroom is empty, is it?" Tamaki said.

"Well this takes me back." Said both twins as they stepped inside as the rest of the Host Club followed them in. The five of them were in a single file with Hikaru in front, Kaoru behind him, followed by Kyouya, then Tamaki, and then Takashi.

"I wonder if the doodles are still on my desk!" Kaoru said. "Doubtful." Said Kyouya. "The school changes all the desks every year."

The host club members then started about visiting and checking out some of the other places of the elementary school department to reminisce on some old memories, not noticing how angry and shaken up Haruhi was getting.

"Hey, if you're just gonna barge in here like that, then why'd we wear these stupid disguises?" She whispered.

"Don't worry about it." Said Hikaru.

"There's no one here to catch us!" Said Kaoru. And at that exact moment, a pair of footsteps were suddenly heard from outside, getting closer to the classroom they were in. They all gasped and hid underneath the desks.

"If the teacher finds us…" Said Kaoru.

"…We'll have a hard time explaining why we snuck in." Said Hikaru.

"Shh… shut up, guys!" Said Haruhi, a finger on her lips. The male members of the Host Club glanced at her with a questioning look. "Huh?"

"Just keep your lips zipped!" She then pretended to zip her mouth shut. The twins and Tamaki did what she did, all thinking at the same time, 'Haruhi's the cutest thing I've ever seen!'

Kyouya couldn't help but try not to blush and hide his slightly flushed cheeks, not knowing that Takashi noticed what exactly he was trying to do.

Haruhi peeked out of the door and saw that the teacher has walked past the classroom they were in. "It's alright now; he's gone."

The hosts then stood up. "Man, that was close!" The twins said simultaneously.

"Well this is interesting." Everyone turned to look at Kyouya who was looking at the wall of framed photos beside Mitsukuni. Everyone gathered around him to see what caught the attention of the Shadow King.

"What'd you find?" Asked Haruhi, walking over to him. Kyouya simply pointed at one of the pictures. The others looked closer and saw that it was a picture of Shiro sittingo beside a girl as they both played a duet on the piano.

"So he's in the Classical Music Club…" Kyouya stated.

"He looks so sweet sitting next to that girl like that and playing the piano with her." Haruhi pointed out.

"Yeah…" Tamaki agreed with her.

The Host Club members traveled to the Elementary Music room and watched Shiro-kun from the window. Shiro-kun was gazing outside like a loner while all the other students were busy either chatting idly with each other, or practicing some of their own instruments.

"There he is! There's Shiro-chan!" Mitsukuni pointed out.

Shiro continued to gaze out the window when suddenly, a girl stopped in front of him, not noticing her presence.

As the Host Club watched, they couldn't help but notice that she was the same girl from the photo.

"Excuse me, Takaoji?" Shiro finally realized she was there and turned around to see her smiling at him as she clutched a few binders to her chest. "I'm sorry, but have you been practicing the new piece sensei gave us?" She asked him.

"The new piece? Not really…" He answered.

"If you want, I can show it to you?" She offered. "Do you want to come play it with me?" She asked, a slight bit of hope in her voice. Shiro shook his head. "No thanks… you go ahead… After all, there's only one grand piano. You should use it, Kamashiro." She gazed at him for a while in silence before a bright smile appeared on her face. "Thank you! I will then. And if you want to join me, just let me know." And with that, she turned around and headed for the piano.

She opened the piano and began to play a beautiful melody. Shiro watched her as she played. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed listening to the beautiful music she was playing.

Outside, Haruhi and Tamaki couldn't help but stare curiously at the scene in front of them.

Unknowingly, Kyouya was somewhere around the corner, watching them. He decided to keep his distance away from them a bit, just in case he would do something he would most likely regret.

A girl stepped out of the music room when suddenly, "Pardon me, mademoiselle." The girl turned to see a handsome tall, blonde young man holding out a single white rose to her. "Huh?" She wondered. "I have never seen a rose more lovelier than you, my dear. Here, this is for you." He gave her the rose and she took it.

He then turned his head to face the window again and she followed suit. "Now, I was wondering if you could tell me about that young lady playing the piano? Do you know her?" He asked.

"That's Hina Kamashiro." She said.

"Her name is Hina?" Tamaki confirmed. She nodded. "That's right. But you better not fall in love with her." She stated.

The other hosts watched Tamaki work his magic from behind them and eyed the young girl curiously. "Why?" Tamaki asked. "DIdn't you know?" She asked. "Hina has to move away soon. Her dad just got a new job in Germany so they have to move there at the end of the week."

"What do you think you're doing?" Their conversation was interrupted when an angry Shiro suddenly stepped out of the music room. "If you guys are trying to spy on me, then I want you to leave immediately! I'll talk to you during club hours!"

Tamaki suddenly pulled on Shiro and put him over his shoulder and carried him away. "What are you doing, Tamaki-senpai?" He yelled, struggling to get loose of the blonde's tight hold on him.

Due to the loud noise of the commotion, Hina stepped out of the music room as well and watched Shiro get whisked away by the Host Club.

"Let me go! Put me down! Where are you guys taking me?"

"It's time to go, Shiro…" Tamaki stated calmly.

"What is your problem, you big idiot?" He yelled at Tamaki. Once they arrived in the clubroom, Shiro was dumped onto the couch by Tamaki.

"I'm sorry, but you're the idiot!" Tamaki yelled back. "You said you wanted me to teach you how to make women happy, but that's not it, is it? You're not concerned with the happiness of just any woman, you've got your sights set on one woman in particular." Shiro could only stare at Tamaki in shock and disbelief. "You only care about one, and that's Hina Kamashiro!"

"But I'm afraid, there's nothing I can do to help you with that." Tamaki stated. "Listen, Shiro. I know that I told you, it's the job of a host to make women happy, but if you care for someone, you must find the courage to express what is in your heart! You have to tell her how you feel about her! Now, you didn't come to me looking to become a full-fledged host, you want to be a full-fledged man."

Shiro bent over and put his hands on his knees in sadness. "It doesn't matter anymore. I've run out of time. I just… I just wanted to hear her play before she left for good… that's all."

"That piece she played, it's Mozart's Sonata in D Major for two pianists, isn't it?" Tamaki turned around and walked over to a yellow see-through curtain that was obviously hiding something behind it. Tamaki pulled it aside to reveal a beautiful, black grand piano.

"Wait a minute." Haruhi said, looking at what was happening right in front of her. "Was that thing even there before?" She asked. The twins happily answered her. "Well, this is a music room after all…" Kaoru said. "…So why wouldn't there be a grand piano?" Hikaru said.

"It is a music room, after all." Kyouya, who has physically calmed down and was currently seated with Mitsukuni and Takashi and drinking tea, pointed out.

"It is a music room." Takashi said.

"It's always been there, we just had it covered up." Mitsukuni said.

Tamaki then started to play the piece Hina was playing on the piano with Shiro staring at him, clearly stupefied that the blonde idiot of the Host Club was actually capable of this. He stood up as he watched him and with shocked, wide eyes, he said, "Awesome…"

He started to reminisce of how he first started playing the piano. Of how Hina was actually the one who influenced him to learn it with her.

When Tamaki finished playing, Shiro said to him, "She played beautifully but… it wasn't the piano that I liked…"

Tamaki then told him, "For the next week, you will spend your mornings, lunches, recesses, and free time after school in piano lessons with me." Shiro looked at him curiously. "But… why?"

"You wanted to be my apprentice, right?" Tamaki asked him. Shiro nodded his head. "Besides, that young lady looked like she wanted nothing more but to play the piano with you."

The rest of the hosts watched the scene before them from afar with warm eyes.

One Week Later

Hina Kamashiro stood in front of the 3rd music room, a letter in hand that said,

You are invited

September 23rd at 3pm

To a private recital.

She timidly reached out her hand and opened the door, a bit scared of what could possibly await her inside.

When she opened it, the Host Club was lined up in two lines along the door wearing crisp, white tuxedos with a red and yellow tie. "Welcome, Princess. We've been waiting." They recited.

Tamaki stood in front of her. "I present to you Shiro Takaoji's piano recital." He gestured towards the two grand pianos, where one of them was currently occupied by Shiro who had a slight blush on his face.

Tamaki walked to the unoccupied piano and pulled out the chair and gestured for Hina to come closer. "If you please, Princess." She stood there shocked for a moment before a smile came across her face. Shiro turned to face her, a smile also on his face. "Let's play together, Hina." "Okay!"

The two of them sat side-by-side in their respective pianos performing the beautiful tune in perfect harmony.

10 Days Later

"So you've been exchanging emails with Hina-chan now that she's in Germany?" A girl asked.

"Yeah, I guess. I really like her, but she can get really jealous for an elementary school girl." Shiro replied. Shiro seemed to be very busy as he is currently being surrounded by most of the Host Club's regular customers. "She'd be upset if she knew I was with you, ladies, so let's keep this a little secret." He said with a little sense of suave.

The girls all squealed in delight. The two girls right beside him started kissing him all over his cheeks.

Tamaki watched the scene before him in complete anger and fury. "You brat! What are you doing? Those are my guests!"

Shiro smirked at him. "Sorry, boss! Looks like they prefer the naughty boy." He winked, and with that, he turned his attention back to his customers.

Tamaki, who was still furious and looked like he was just about to beat the crap out of Shiro, had to be held down by both twins.

"I thought he wasn't going to explode like last time!" Kaoru yelled.

"I guess we should've known he was gonna blow up sooner or later!" Hikaru yelled back.

"You know, ever since Shiro came along, our sales did slightly increase…" Kyouya pointed out, looking at his little black notebook. The other hosts all looked at him, even Tamaki and the twins. "Kyouya, you're not… suggesting…" Tamaki started.

"I think it would be a great idea, Tamaki."

After Club Hours

The Host Club all stood in front of the couch where Shiro was seated with Tamaki in the middle of their line.

"Shiro-kun, due to your unexpected popularity and the increase in our sales, we wanted to ask you something." Tamaki started. Shiro raised an eyebrow at him.

"And that would be?"

Tamaki smirked. "Would you like to be a permanent member of the Ouran Host Club?" Shiro was shocked by the question.

Are they really asking him to join the club?

He stayed silent for a bit as he thought of his decision.

"I'd be glad to." He said with a smile. Tamaki was about to continue with his speech but was interrupted by Shiro. "On two conditions." Tamaki and the rest of the Host Club members looked at him curiously. Kyouya, who was better at negotiations, stepped forward.

"And those conditions would be?"

"The first one; I would like to change my type." Kyouya slightly sighed in relief. "And what would that be?" Shiro smiled warmly at Tamaki. "I want to be the piano type." He said. Tamaki smiled and nodded to Kyouya. Kyouya approved of this as well. "And your second condition?"

"Well, actually, it's more of a question…"

"And that would be?"

…

…

…

"Just when are you going to admit to me that Haruhi-senpai is a girl?" Everyone froze. Tamaki ran to Haruhi's side, hand right above her chest but barely touching it.

"What are you talking about, Shiro-kun? DIdn't I already tell you? Flat as a-"

"Don't you even dare!" Haruhi shouted out. She didn't care anymore that her secret has been revealed. He was part of the Host Club now anyway, and she doesn't want Tamaki's hands on her lady parts ever again.

… "So it's official then?" Kyouya asked Shiro, hiding his slight anger inside of him.

Shiro nodded his head. "Yeah, it's official." He then turned to face the rest of the Host Club and they faced him as well. "I am officially part of the Ouran High School Host Club."

Haruhi was left to lock up again. She was cleaning up the pile of dishes that were stained with frosting and crumbs. Once she finished she left the kitchen and was about to pack up her things when, "Haruhi." She looked up to see Kyouya looking at her. "Kyouya-sempai? What is it?" She was hoping he wouldn't make another unexplained stunt like the last time they were in this situation.

He sighed. "I came here to apologize." He said. Haruhi raised both her eyebrows at that statement. "Apologize for what?" She asked. Kyouya sighed again. "I came here to apologize for what I did last time. I shouldn't have forced a kiss on you like that, even if it was only on the cheek." Haruhi felt her cheeks heat up at that.

She looked to the floor, unable to contain the blush on her face so she decided to hide it from him instead. "I-it's al-alright, Kyouya-sempai..." She said. Kyouya shook his head. "No, it wasn't... especially if you have feelings for someone else..." Haruhi's ears perked up from that. "Excuse me?" She said. "What did you just say?"

"I said that what I did wasn't ok because you have feelings for someone else." "Who do you think I have feelings for?" "Tamaki."

...

"... You're frickin kidding me, right?" She said. Kyouya shook his head. "Ok, this may sound mean, but I most definitely do not have any feelings for Tamaki-sempai, at all."

"Then is it one of the twins?"

"Hell no." "But you are correct about me loving someone though..." She muttered, not expecting Kyouya to hear, but she underestimated him. "So you do like someone?" Haruhi's eyes widened at that.

"I-uhh... umm..." Kyouya suddenly took her hands in his. "Haruhi, who is it that you like?" He asked. Haruhi only shook her head. He brought his head closer to hers by putting one hand at the nape of her neck and pulling her towards him. "Who, Haruhi? Who is it?" He demanded.

Haruhi looked to the ground before looking back at his eyes.

"You." Kyouya felt the weight fall off his chest, his shoulders, everywhere!

Haruhi expected him to loosen his grip a little, but instead, he tightened it as he pulled her into an embrace. Haruhi loved the feeling of his arms holding her like that. They made her feel... safe.

"Oh, Haruhi... I love you too." Kyouya pulled his head away to see Haruhi's reaction. "Are you telling me the truth, Kyouya-sempai?" He smiled warmly at her. Not one of his host smiles, but a true smile. "Yes, Haruhi. I am." And with that, he pressed his lips to hers and gave her a heart stopping, passionate kiss.
