Hiya guys! 'Nika' here! I'm terribly sorry about the delay of the previous chapter. I got sick! (Blame the weather.) Good thing my cousin typed the chapter for me while I was in the hospital bed, staring at the white ceiling. I hope that chapter was long enough for you. (:

I'd like to acknowledge these following persons:

Thank you so much you guys. My cousin told me about it. I really appreciate your concern. :D I'm sorry for letting you wait so long, hehe.


Haruhi was in Kyouya's usual seat; she was sitting in an expensive red chair. In front of her were Kyouya's laptop and some papers that need to be looked at. The table was placed in the far right corner of the room. On her right side was a potted plant. Behind her was a large window with white silk curtains that were hanged on the side so that the sheet wouldn't hide the window. It was 4pm in the afternoon so the sun was starting to set. Haruhi's long brown tresses shone because of the sun's light, making her hair look so straight and silky. She was typing in Kyouya's laptop, entering different digits on the document. Just like the old days. Haruhi thought and a small smile crept onto her doll-like face. She didn't notice a presence looking at her.

She seems peaceful. Kyouya thought. His time with his clients was up that's why he decided to return to his usual spot. He found Haruhi typing in his laptop with a gentle smile on her face. He noticed that she hasn't sensed his presence so he decided to play with her for awhile. He slowly walked pass her and stood behind her. He leaned down a bit to see what she was working on. His eyes narrowed a little. He only asked her to calculate the profit accumulated yesterday. What she was working on now was the different profits garnered by each hosts today. She's good. He thought.

"You seem happy. A penny for your thoughts?" He saw her jump a little and swiftly turns her head back to look at him. He saw her surprised expression and he found it quite cute.

"Please don't scare me like that next time senpai." Haruhi shook her head and returned her gaze to Kyouya's laptop. She started typing again.

Kyouya took a seat across from her. "You seem to be ahead of work. I'm impressed."

Haruhi smirked. "This was my work before. So, doing these types of things isn't a problem at all."

Kyouya chuckled. "So, that means, you always stay behind to calculate everything?"

Haruhi nodded. She picked up a piece of paper and looked at it. "You don't have any customers anymore senpai." She placed the piece of paper down again and continued typing in Kyouya's laptop. She saw him looking at her with a weird expression.

"Is there something wrong Kyouya-senpai?" She inquired but her hands never stopped moving across the keyboard.

"Your hands … didn't stop …" Kyouya was too surprised to form a coherent sentence.

Haruhi stopped typing and decided to give her attention to Kyouya. She tilted her head to the side. "Eh?"

Kyouya: How can she do that?? The other hand was holding the paper while the other was still typing!

Haruhi chuckled. "It's practice senpai." She just answered his unheard question which narrowed his eyes.

Kyouya: Did she just read my mind or something?

Haruhi sighed and smiled. "I wasn't Kyouya-senpai. Even though you couldn't form a coherent sentence, you gave me context clues."

Kyouya immediately averted his gaze to the papers in front of him while fixing his glasses. "How do you do that?"

Kyouya: She can easily read me.

Haruhi smiled. She decided to stop playing with his thoughts and play along. "Do what?"

"Nevermind." Kyouya shrugged and let himself relax in his seat. He let his eyes wander over Haruhi's face for a moment. This is the closest distance I've ever had with her. He examined her chocolate orbs that were focused on his pineapple laptop.

Kyouya: If she were to look at me directly with those eyes, I might drown.

Haruhi heard his thoughts and looked at him with amused eyes. She saw him stiffen a bit which made her smile. "Is there something wrong senpai?"

He shook his head. "Nothing Haruhi." I should be careful with my eyes. "I was just wondering."

Haruhi's eyebrows rose a little. "Wondering, what?"

I was wondering if you're something that fell from above. Kyouya smiled at his thoughts. Haruhi saw his smile and she found it very attractive. "I hope this statement won't be too forward for you but, I was wondering if you're an angel sent by the Gods."

Haruhi's eyes narrowed. This was followed by a laughter that was marveled by Kyouya. "I … I'm sorry. Hahaha!!" So hard was her laughing that small tears started to form in the corner of her eyes.

Kyouya just looked at her with admiration in his eyes. He finally composed himself and only plastered a small smile in his face. "Are you done laughing?"

Haruhi sighed one last time and looked at Kyouya with tearful eyes. "Yes. I'm done. That statement made me remember something."

"Sharing a little wouldn't hurt, right?" Kyouya smiled playfully.

Haruhi smirked at his attempt to spill everything out from her, but she obliged. "Back in middle school, a guy told me that exact statement when we were inside the school laboratory."

Kyouya suddenly felt a twang of pain inside his chest but he just ignored it. "What were you two doing in there?" He also noticed that she stopped typing and that all of her attention was focused at him.

"We weren't the only ones in there senpai. It was class hours. He suddenly came up to me and said those words." Haruhi replied.

"What did you say?"

Haruhi shrugged. "I didn't say anything."

Kyouya tilted his head to one side. "Why?"

"I don't have any idea on what to say to him." Haruhi stated as a matter-of-factly.

Kyouya smirked. "So that means your mind went blank?"

Haruhi grinned from ear to ear. "Precisely."

She's still teasing me about that. Kyouya's smirk went wide. Haruhi saw this and she felt a cold chill ran up to her spine. I think I made a wrong move. Haruhi thought.

"Why don't you tell me about yourself senpai?" Haruhi had leaned closer. Her right elbow on the table and her chin on her palms. She was smiling softly at him. I have a feeling he won't give me anything, considering that we just met two days ago. She thought. Haruhi could feel his reluctance in answering her question. She immediately understood this and abruptly stopped his thoughts whether answering or not.

"I'm sorry senpai. You don't have to answer." Haruhi gave him a soft smile and leaned back to her seat. She positioned her hands back to Kyouya's laptop and decided to transfer her little sadness into her typing by typing slowly.

Kyouya could sense her sadness. He felt guilty about not answering. She answered freely when he asked about the death of her mother. But when she asked something about him, he couldn't even answer. She wasn't even asking about something specific. When he decided to tell a little about him, he saw her stand up. "I'll go check on the guys Kyouya-senpai." She smiled at him and then left. Kyouya caught a whiff of her scent; she smelled like strawberries. He stood up and took Haruhi's previous seat. He looked at his laptop and a smile crept at his lips.

Senpai, your work for today is done. This is the thanks you get for letting me come here for free. Thank you.

- Haruhi


In the other side of the Music Room:

A girl with a yellow puffy dress was staring at Haruhi with sparkling eyes. "You are so beautiful Haruhi-chan."

Haruhi is sitting between the twins. She was also wearing the same yellow dress as the girl who commented about her beauty. "Oh no I'm not. I even wished that I could be as pretty as you are." Haruhi used her host smile. This made the girls stare at her with pure joy. Then, she heard the girls shrieking.

"KAWAIIII!!!" She saw hearts floating around the girls who swooned over her. The ruckus caused the other girls to look around and saw that there was a girl between the twins. This made the girls instantly fly over to the twins' place and look at the girl. When they saw her, their jaws dropped. One of the girls even fainted but none of them paid any attention to her.

Hikaru decided to turn up the heat by pulling another show. He leaned closer to Haruhi's right ear. "You know, they won't stop staring unless we do something."

Haruhi turned to look at Hikaru. Her face became red as a tomato when she realized that their faces were inches away from each other. The crowd of girls saw Haruhi blush and all of them screamed, "KYAA!!!"

Damn this people. Haruhi thought. She instantly glared at Hikaru which made him back away. She stood up and stared at all the girls with loving eyes.

"It is very wonderful to be surrounded by such wonderful ladies, like all of you, right Kaoru?" Haruhi turned her head to the left to look at Kaoru, relaying a message that says: Just play with me and get this over with.

Kaoru got the message and stood up. "Yes. It is an honor. Wouldn't you agree, dear brother?"

Hikaru got away from his seat. "I certainly agree with you Kaoru." Hikaru went over to Kaoru's side and placed an arm around his waist. This made the girls eyes avert to them, waiting for their 'brotherly love' scenario. With this, Haruhi slowly side-stepped and saw that none of the girls noticed her since they were gazing at the twins. Haruhi decided to fade into the background; she was successful.

When she was out of the crowd, two pair of arms swept her off her feet. "Oh my dear daughter! I thought you were lost in a sea full of beautiful ladies! What were you doing with those twins?! You better tell daddy!" His voice was stern, almost like her father's tone when he needed information from her.

"Nothing senpai. I was just trying to check if they were doing their jobs." Haruhi shrugged.

"But why is it that all of the clients crowded in their place?" Tamaki asked.

"It seems that Haru-chan drew the crowd Tama-chan." They turned around and saw Hunny walking with his Usa-chan on top of his head and Mori following silently.

"What is going on in here?" They heard Kyouya's steps slowly approaching.

"Our clients were mesmerized by Haru-chan's beauty, ne, Takashi?" They saw Mori nod.

Haruhi's eyes narrowed. "My beauty?? What's that supposed to mean?"

She doesn't even know how beautiful she is. Kyouya thought. "Let's just –" He was cut off by a girl screaming.

"There she is!!" A girl with a long red hair pointed at Haruhi. In a nanosecond, the girls who previously crowded the twins' place were now surrounding Haruhi, effectively pushing the other hosts out of their way. Haruhi was already backed up against a wall. She can hear some girls asking her pointless questions like 'What's your beauty secret?!' and even some questions that she can hear from a movie like 'What type of brand do you use?!'. She was getting so agitated that she couldn't control her temper anymore.

"ENOUGH!!" She shouted. Her voice was so loud that it felt like the whole room vibrated. She immediately heard complete silence and noticed her mistake. So, she instantly backtracked and tries to correct her error. She looked at the girls with half-lidded eyes, making her look sleepy but sexy. "Shouldn't we all seat down ladies?" Her voice, soft and velvety, made it sound like she was trying to tempt someone, but this time, she was handling a crowd. The sea of yellow-dressed girls immediately sprinted to the nearest couch they could seat. This impressed Haruhi. They're that desperate? Haruhi looked to her right and saw the host club members gape at her.

"We. Were. Totally. Ignored." Hikaru said. The other host club members nodded. They saw Haruhi mouth the word 'sorry' to them. They suddenly felt guilty. They were the ones who were supposed to say sorry because they weren't able to help her get out of the large crowd. What surprised them was that she was able to let all the girls settle down with just 5 words. They saw Haruhi walk towards an empty couch, which was Tamaki's usual seat whenever he would entertain his clients.

Haruhi sat down at the comfortable couch. This is going to be a long afternoon. She smiled her host smile and started to introduce herself. "My name's Fujioka Haruhi. I'm from Class 1-A. I'm a scholar student here in Ouran. It's nice to meet all of you beautiful ladies." She heard a girl squeal and saw that she raised her right hand. Now the question and answer portion. "Yes?" The girl stood up. Her short brown bob-cut hair bounced when she stood up. "Are you from a rich family Haruhi-chan?"

Haruhi shook her head. "No. I'm from a lower status."

"Oh, so that means you're a commoner?" A girl from somewhere around the crowd commented.

Haruhi chuckled. "Yes I am."

"How were you able to afford the uniform?" A girl with green hair spoke.

"The host club gave this to me for free. I'm very thankful." Haruhi smiled which made the crowd of girls squeal in delight. Their squealing is giving me a serious headache.

"How were you able to meet up with the host club Haruhi-chan?" Someone from the crowd again asked another question.

She placed her index finger on her chin, indicating that she's thinking about something. "Hmm … I really don't know how to explain …" But before she could continue, she heard someone coughing from behind her.

"The Hitachiin Twins can do the story telling, if this lovely lady sitting right in front of us will give us the permission to do so." She heard the twins speak in sync.

Haruhi patted a soft cushion right next to her. "Why don't you guys seat with me while you tell these lovely ladies the story?"

So, Hikaru took Haruhi's right side while Kaoru took Haruhi's left side. They started talking about their first encounter, which was on the outside corridor of the building, and the story ended with Haruhi waking up during lunch break and saw six handsome boys staring at her.

"Haruhi-chan's so lucky, ne? Ne?" A girl commented. All of the girls nodded vigorously. Kyouya suddenly appeared at Haruhi's back. "I'm very sorry to say this but hosting hours are over."

They heard the crowd saying 'Aww …', clearly disappointed that time is up. One girl stood up from her seat. "Haruhi-chan, will you be here tomorrow?"

Haruhi smiled. "Of course. I am Kyouya-senpai's assistant after all. Why do you ask?"

The girl blushed. "Well, I just want to talk with you. I want to know you more." The girl spoke softly.

"Me too!" A girl from the crowd raised her hand. Another girl followed, and another, and another, and another, until they saw the whole crowd raising their hands, wanting to see Haruhi in the Third Music Room tomorrow.

This shocked the entire host club members. Tamaki could stop a crowd but Haruhi could attract an entire town towards her! Kyouya thought. Before he could speak, Haruhi stopped him first.

"I'm sorry ladies. Since this is a Host Club, it only consists of men trying to entertain their clients." She heard a sigh of disappointment escaping from the lips of the girls surrounding her. "But …" She suddenly saw sparkles everywhere. I wonder if anyone here notices these strange things. "If you really feel like talking to someone, specifically a girl, then you can always come to me." Haruhi smiled, making the girls swoon over her again. "I'll only entertain 5 clients everyday since I have a job to do here in the Host Club. First come, first serve. Are we all on the same page?" Haruhi saw all of them nod. "We'll be seeing you all tomorrow!" Haruhi waved goodbye and the crowd of girls slowly left the room. When the room was finally empty, Haruhi slumped on the expensive couch. "Glad that's over."

"Haru-chan, are you okay?" Hunny slowly walked towards Haruhi. "We're sorry. We weren't able to save you earlier."

Haruhi looked at her senpai. She could see tears forming in the corner of his eyes. "No problem at all senpai. I'm quite used to that sort of circumstances."

Tamaki immediately stopped gaping at her and ran towards her. He knelt in front of her. "Are you okay sweet daughter?! Did those girls hurt you!? Are you broken?? MOTHER!!" Tamaki was clinging to Haruhi's legs like a leech. Haruhi was too tired to deal with him so she decided to let him be. She patted his head to assure him that she's fine, and also that he would stop clinging to her like a koala.

"I'm fine Tamaki-senpai. Don't worry."

Tamaki smiled softly at her. "Thank goodness."

"Haruhi?"

She looked at Hikaru on her right. "What is it?"

"Didn't you just say that you're used to these chaotic events?"

Haruhi nodded. "I did. Why?"

"And, you also mentioned before that you were part of a Host Club before, am I right?" Hikaru questioned again.

"Where is this conversation going Hikaru?" Haruhi, getting impatient with Hikaru's constant questioning, suddenly snapped at him.

"What I'm trying to ask is that, during your hosting hours, were there a lot of clients?"

"Yes. We even had to open our entrance doors and put some tables outside because the inside is getting cramped with so many students."

Tamaki's eyes went wide. "A full house? How many members do you have in your previous host club anyway?"

"We were only 5, three boys and two girls." Tamaki's eyes widen even more.

"How large is your clubroom Haruhi?" Kyouya asked with curiosity.

Haruhi closed her eyes for a moment and tried to imagine their clubroom, and opened her eyes again. "Our clubroom is just as big as this room, including the changing rooms in here. Our changing room was just our classroom."

"Wow …" Kaoru spoke.

"Who are they Haru-chan?" Hunny asked.

Haruhi turned to look at him and gave him a small smile. "I'm sorry senpai but I can't tell you."

"Eh?" Hunny's head was tilted to the side. "Why not Haru-chan?"

"It's a long story senpai." And it would also be long time for you guys to accept that I'm a vampire. Haruhi thought.

Haruhi stood up from her seat and fished out her phone from her pocket. Kyouya saw this and immediately imitated Haruhi's actions. He walked away from the group. "Are you on the spot? … Good." He flipped his phone shut and walked again towards the group. "I think we should all retire. This day has been very exhausting, especially to our 'natural type' here." His eyes gestured towards Haruhi, speaking on her phone. The other hosts noticed Kyouya's hidden message. They will have to stay and wait for Kyouya's police reports about that sudden appearance of a wall. The cousins knew about this incident through Tamaki's sudden phone call during their dinner time. They all said 'Yeah …" in a tired voice.

"Guys, I have to go. I need to go and check up on dad. See you all tomorrow!" Haruhi waved goodbye to the guys.

"Is your friend going to fetch you again Haruhi?" Kyouya asked. He saw Haruhi nod in response. "Take care Haruhi."

"Thanks. Bye!"

Tamaki limply walked towards Kyouya. "Mother, I feel guilty about spying on our daughter. I think we should stop. We can just ask her, right?"

"I doubt that, Dad." Kyouya replied and fixed his glasses.

"Why mom?"

"She wasn't even able to provide us names about her previous club members." Kyouya sighed. This girl is so full of mysteries.

Tamaki shrugged. "True, but maybe she has her reasons."

I know this is inappropriate but something about her makes me want to know more.

So, the entire host club waited for the reports that would come soon.


In front of the Ouran school gates:

"Damn, she's hot." A man with a cigarette in his mouth spoke. His face could not be seen because of the hat that was covering his entire face. He was looking at a student who had long brown tresses and was wearing a yellow puffy dress.

"See? Now you have a reason why you need to be qualified to become a teacher there." A woman with a long blond hair spoke beside the man.

"If she was just like any other girls, you know, human, I wouldn't kill her." The man spoke with smoke coming out from his mouth.

The woman beside him chuckled. "Make sure you have a good relationship with her."

"Of course. Who wouldn't want to get close to someone as hot as her?"


All done! Let me guys give you a heads up first: I'll be flying to another place next week to take an entrance exam for college. But you guys don't have to worry. I'll only be staying there for three days. So, probably, the next chapter will be out next week also. (:

I hope you liked this chapter! :D
