Hikaru: There was quiet a few responses about the last chapter

Kaoru: yeah, but it probably because they want to know, what happened to Usa-chan

Air Lore: Is that a bad thing? If keeps the reader interested.

Haurhi: I just the surprise that Hunny senpia let you write something happened to Usa-chan

Hunny: I know that we only pretending. It not like Air-Chan would write any thing to hurt him

Tamaki: Of course, she would not. She is too kind hearted

Kyouya: This would not be an attempt to keeping from her making you the guilty party

Tamaki: Of course, not, I am only paying her a comment

Air Lore: Weather or not he really is. Everyone is fair game. That the way it going to be

Hunny: But we will have fun with this, right

Mori: Yea

Air Lore: well then, shall we get started

Kyouya: Before we do, do you think we should thank everyone for support

Air Lore: Brilliant idea, Kyouya, We all wants to thank all of you for the support and we are glad you like the story.

Tamaki: A special thanks to The Awsomactical Girl for the review

Hikaru and Kaoru: do not worry; we will make her continue the story

Air Lore: Oh, like I need motivation from you two. Now, who is going to do the disclaimer?

Tamaki: It will be my honor, as unfortunate as it is. Air Lore does not own Ouran High School Host Club. I think she could come up with some creative ideas if she did.

Kyouya under his breath: you are sucking up to her

Air Lore: Also, want to all of you know, if you solve the crime then let me know in the review section.

Hikaru and Kaoru: Don't forget about the pairing

Air Lore: Knock it off

Chapter 7-The finger pointed

All of the room was in shock. The stuff pink bunny, that Hunny always carried, was gone. The chair was empty.

"What do mean that he is gone?" asked Haurhi

"He is not where I left him," said Hunny

"Are sure you did not misplace him or you are looking for in the wrong place?" asked Tamaki

"No he was right here" Hunny started to cry

"Clam down, Mistsukuni, we will find Usa-chan" said Mori

Tamaki turned an addressed the guests. "Would all please take a moment and look around to see if you see Usa-Chan"

Erica stood there observing the scene. Her glance went back and forth between the host and the guests. She brought her hand against her chin.

"What is eating you?" asked Kaoru

"It can't be that simple," she stated

"What can't be that simple?" he and his twin asked

"Hunny, could not have misplace Usa-chan. I remember seeing Usa-chan at that table" her response was "Now, he is missing. It does not make sense."

"You think something else might happened," asked Haurhi

"Yes, however, it is not what everyone wants to hear"

"It should not matter if it helps to finds Usa-Chan," said Tamaki

"Well, I think he was taken by one of you," said Erica in a I can't believe I am saying this voice

The room was dead quiet for a moment. Then, the guests became in an up roar. They shouted at her for saying something like that. That she should take it back. In addition, how dare she accuse the hosts of doing such a thing.

Kyouya stepped forward. "Ladies, if you please. For someone accusing us of the crime is rather terrible. However, I can see where Miss Erica is coming from. The only people that were around this table were the hosts. She is just stating the obvious"

"Eri-Chan" Hunny said approaching her with tears in his eyes. "Can you find who did it? Find Usa-Chan for me, please"

"Of course, I will find him" she responds as she patted on the head. Then, she turned to everyone. "I would appreciate everyone would actively participate in the investigation of what happen to Usa-chan. Is that possible?"

There was some chatter back and forth amongst the guest. Eventually, they were all an agreement. Since Hunny, seem to trust Erica in solving this case. They might as well, they wanted Hunny to have Usa-chan back. Even if that means that, the hosts would be guilty.

"Alright, the first thing we need to do is eliminate any suspects that are less likely to be the guilty party," said Erica

"Did you already do that?" asked one of the girls that was sitting Tamaki

"Yes, but there is still too many suspects and little evidence to figure it out" Erica responded, "What could help though if any of you could think of something that clear any of the hosts. In addition, any addition information would be more than than helpful"

One girl with short black hair raises her hand. "Mori, could not have done it. He was with Hunny"

"That is a good point" said Erica, "It would rather difficult to steal Usa-chan while being with Hunny. Still, it is possible. "

"How would he be able to?" asked the twins

"We could not see Usa-chan, because Kyouya body was blocking the view of the chair. Therefore, we could assume that could be there. When Hunny enter the room, he went to talk to Haurhi. Mori would have a moment to grab Usa-chan. When everyone is in a commotion, stash Usa-Chan somewhere.

"Takashi, you did not really do that, did you?" asked Hunny with tears flowed down his face

Mori rapidly shake his head. He also waved his arms around. He was letting Hunny know that he was innocent.

"It would kill Mori senpia to do such a thing," said Haurhi

"There is some truth in that," said Tamaki

"Uh, well" a voice said in the back of the room

"Yes"-said Erica,

"There might be a reason for Mori to take Usa-chan" The girl said, "I remember earlier in the week. I have been noticing that Hunny was pay lots of attention Usa-chan than Mori"

"Wait a minute" Erica said, "What are you trying to say is that Mori was jealous of Usa-chan. That is the reason he took Usa-chan"

"Well, I also notice once that Hunny asked Mori to hold Usa-chan. Mori held him rather tightly. It almost as if he was mad at him," the girl continue to explained

"Okay, I will admit it a little odd. There is a possible that it is true," said Erica

"Really" exclaimed the twins

"You will be surprised what people would do over the small of things" she responded "Well, that one suspect's information down. Now, we needed the others," She walked over the scene of the crime. She notice that there little droplets of water on the table. These water droplets are heading in the direction of Usa-chan spot.

"That is interesting," she muttered

"You found a clue?" asked Hunny

"I think so" she said, "It looks like someone knock over the vase"

"Oh, that was me," said "Tamaki "I accidently knock the vase. I mange to catch it before it made a big mess"

"You are the one who stole Usa-chan," said Hikaru and Kaoru

"WHAT" exclaimed Tamaki "I would never do such a thing. What possible reason would I take Usa-chan?"

"To cover up your tracks," said Hikaru

"When knocked over the vase, some of the water onto Usa-chan" said Kaoru "He was tucked away when you appeared to be moping in the corner"

"Therefore, you took and hid Usa-Chan. That way, Hunny would not be upset with you," they both stated

Tamaki backed away shocked. He could not believe what he had the finger pointed at him. Not to mention, it was over some so trivial.

"Oh, come on" said Erica "Hunny would understand if it was an accident"

"You don't understand. Hunny can have a quiet a mean strike," said Tamaki, Hikaru, and Kaoru together

"Yeah, sweet Hunny over there" she said in tone of disbelief

"If it an accident. Then, it is accident" Hunny said give the impression he would not be mad.

One the girls that was at the far left table spoke up "Wouldn't you guys seen Usa-chan, if that were true"

"Interesting fact to point out, you two would have notice that" said Erica "I have to say that you two are having no trouble accusing someone else. Is that you two what the attention off you"

"Are you saying that we are responsible for what happened to Usa-chan," asked Kaoru

"It is a possibility," said Erica "You could have done it as a prank"

"How could they have pulled it off?" asked Hunny

"Similar to Mori case, because Kyouya blocked the view of Usa-chan. Either one of them could back away, while the other continue to taunt Tamaki."

"Oh come on," said Hikaru "We won't do a prank like this. That would be too cruel"

"Well, your pranks can come off as cruel," said Haurhi

"Really" the twins responded

"Let's get a show of hands, here. How many of you think that while the pranks are in good fun, can be cruel"

There were a small portion hands raise. The twins face show a little bit of guilt. Erica turned to them. "Look, I sure that you have not indentation to hurt anyone. You are not bad people. That tends to happen. What you need to careful of, is how the person on the other end"

"I can see where coming from"said Kaoru"but what makes you think that we would pull a prank on Hunny"

A girl with brown hair in pigtails, said, "I do remember earlier in the week that you said that wanted to play a prank on Hunny"

"So you planning on play on Hunny, all the time," said Erica

"Yeah, but it was all talk" said Hikaru a little nervous

"Yeah, it doesn't mean we actually did it," said Kaoru nervously

"Like I said it is a possibility," said Erica "There two suspect we need to look over before we come to a conclusion."

"Um, can ask a question" a blonde girl

"Sure," said Tamaki

"Kyouya, one of things tat get pointed out of the cases is that you were near Usa-chan. Why did you see anyone taking him?"

All eyes slowly went to Kyouya. There was a point to the girl was saying. There was a tension in waiting for what he had to say.

"I was simply distracted" he replied

"Still, you notice should something," said Haurhi

"Could it be that you have something to hide, Kyouya?" asked Erica

"You really think I could take Usa-chan," he asked

"With your back to the chair, there would be no problem taking him. You could have done it before you called over Haurhi"

"There might be some truth to that, I will admit," he said, "however, what could be the reason me to take Hunny's stuffed rabbit"

The blonde girl spoke up again. "I have also notice early in the week that he announced that he was going to selling some of the hosts things"

"He is going to selling Usa-chan," exclaimed Hunny

"I see, I do remember something," said Erica "Yesterday, Kyouya did mention the Hunny's cake intake does create a bit of a spiral downhill in the host club budget. Taking Usa-chan and selling the cute adorable bunny. It like Hunny would be repaying him back all the money the was lost"

"That is a clever theory, Miss Erica," said Kyouya "I would never sell item of the host without them knowing"

"Are you kidding," said Haurhi "You have done that with me"

"Besides, Kyouya, the being that you were the closest to Usa-chan you are the likely suspect. Unless you can give us the name of the person that you notice might have done something out the normal," said Erica

There was a moment of him being quiet. Then he came out a name. It was straightforward and without any hesitation.

"Haurhi"

"Me" she said shockingly

"What distracted me was. Haurhi thought that there were guests knocking at the door. When I went to look, he would have the opportunity to take Usa-chan"

"But for what reason" asked Haurhi

"Allow me to shed some light on this" Kyouya with a simple push up of his glasses "A few days ago, I notice that you were ran out to the courtyard holding Usa-chan. Then, you tripped. When that happened you might have ripped him."

"Therefore, you made a duplet Usa-chan. Until you be able to repair him. The plan was to switch the two Usa-chans. However, you were not able to since Hunny saw that he was gone"

"What you are saying is. His reason is similar to Tamaki. It was to quickly take Usa-chan before Hunny found out," said Erica

"Correct" said Kyouya

"I don't get why some you are afraid of Hunny finding out that something happen to Usa-chan," said Erica

"Yeah, just be honest. I won't be mad," said Hunny

The twins and Tamaki did a face palm in the back of the room. With Hunny, deigning that would get extremely angry if something happen to Usa-chan. This is making their stories less creditable. Not to mention, Hunny get really angry over certain thing. This would be one of them. however, he was not showing it.

"All everyone appears to have a motive and opportunity. The question I want to ask all of you. Who do you think is the guilty party" asked Erica
