A/N: Sorry for not updating. I was busy, and school started, my afterschool classes started, all that stuff. So here is another chapter, although I suspect many of you have been chased away already...

"Why are you wearing a dress?"

Atsushi slowly stood up from the bench, and walked towards Haruhi, his sea-green hair blowing across his face. He walked up to her and said, "Hi, Haruhi-san."

Haruhi gasped. "Atsushi-kun, your voice… Are you, a girl?"

Smiling at her, Atsushi answered, "Bingo." Her arms fell loosely at the sides of her brown floral dress, the cabbage roses a soft pink and red. "Haruhi-san, lets talk, shall we?"

"Oh, so this is a commoner's apartment?" Atsushi looked inside curiously. "Tatami mats, low ceilings, one room, small kitchen, all the characteristics of a commoner's apartment. How charming."

"Oh please, don't strain yourself," Haruhi muttered. She walked inside and turned on the lights. Her father wasn't home yet, so they had the apartment all to themselves. She turned to Atsushi and asked, "Would you like something to drink or eat?"

"No thanks, I'm fine," Atsushi called out to her from the one and only room in the apartment. Haruhi walked inside and asked, "Where were you these last few days? We were very worried."

"Thinking. Reflecting on my actions on Sunday."

"Uh, this might sound awkward, but is Atsushi your real name? Atsushi is a boy's name so…"

Atsushi laughed and said, "Just call me Aoi."

"That's weird. You're hair is greenish, but your name means blue."

"Not my fault," she grumbled. Aoi looked up and stared at Haruhi. "Sorry, but can you not tell anyone? This should never be known by anyone, or else… or else… I might ruin something very important to my family…"

Haruhi smiled warmly, her eyes small lines. "Don't worry, I won't. Then, when are you coming back to school?"

Aoi averted her eyes. "Who knows?" She slowly rose from the floor, and headed towards the door. "It's late, I should leave. Bye."

VvV

What should I do? Aoi sat in her brown corner sofa, her hands clasped tightly together. Should I come back?

"He's not here today either," the Hitachiin twins grumbled. They had become great friends with the green-haired boy, and were missing him.

"I wonder what's wrong with Atsu-chan," wondered Honey. He hugged Usa-chan tightly. "Is he sick? Maybe he didn't have cake for a long time. Should I go bring him cake?"

"Only you Honey-sempai would get sick from not eating cake," Hikaru muttered.

Haruhi sat still in her chair, thinking about the night before. Why isn't she coming? She thought, staring of into nowhere in particular.

"Oi… oi… Haruhi… Earth to Haruhi… HARUHI!" Tamaki yelled, frantically waving his arms in front of Haruhi's face. "Is my daughter alright? Are you sick?" He gasped suddenly. "Maybe my daughter is having boy problems! Oh, Haruhi! Don't worry, Daddy will take care of those boys! I'll make them pay!"

"It's nothing like that sempai…" Haruhi told him.

Tamaki sighed in relief. "That's good."

Then, behind them, big double doors creaked opened slightly, and in walked a rumpled Atsushi, who stuck his hands in his pockets, his back hunched slightly.

"ATSUSHI!" the twins yelled happily, and ran towards him, arms outstretched, only to be dodged. "Hey…" they grumbled.

Atsushi walked straight towards Kyoya, who was sitting at a table, his hands flitting over the keyboard.

"Ah… Um… Sorry for how I behaved on Sunday. It was immature and unacceptable, and wrong. I won't do it again." Atsushi mumbled, fidgeting.

"Of course you won't." Pausing for a moment to push his glasses higher up the bridge of his nose he continued, "You really are like a Fallen Angel are you? You were probably basking in self-pity for the last few days."

"You..."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing..."

They shook hands, and then pretended nothing had ever happened.

Behind them, the Host Club members gawked at them. "Did I… did I see this correctly…?" Hikaru muttered, rubbing his eyes furiously.

"I'm not sure… what did you see?" Kaoru asked.

"I… saw them… do the impossible… I saw them… SHAKE HANDS!"

"You're not turning crazy Hikaru! I saw that too!"

"What do you mean Hikaru, Kaoru?" Kyoya asked menacingly, his glasses shining, and his lips turned into a snarl.

"NOTHING, SIR!"
