"Hey, Takashi, where are we going?" asked Hunny, poking his head through the window separating the driver and the passengers.

"Zoo." Mori replied, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Really, Takashi?" Hunny asked. Mori merely nodded in conformation while the short senior cheered happily. "Yay! I've always wanted to go to the zoo!"

"You've never been to the zoo, Hunny?" Ciel asked curiously.

"Nuh uh! I've always wanted to go but I've never been able to." Hunny said with a frown that immediately turned back to a big grin, "but that's okay because now I get to go with all my closest friends!" he smiled as he hugged Ciel. Ciel decided to give in and gave the small boy a hug back.

"I knew you had a sweet side somewhere in you!" Tamaki said excitedly.

"Oh Tama-chan, Ciel-chan is sweet, he just like to act tough." Hunny said as he played with Usa-chan's ears.

"He's just a little bit more difficult to open up, kinda like Mori-sempai and Kyoya-sempai" Haruhi said with a smile that quickly became a face of fear as she looked at Kyoya and the look of annoyance on his face. "Ky-Kyoya-sempai, a-are you okay?" she asked cautiously.

"Oh just fine! The money I was hoping we would save on this trip by having Mori drive us to the beach will probably be wasted between the gas used on this detour to the beach and the zoo itself." Kyoya began to grumble, obviously frustrated.

"Relax Kyoya. Hunny has always wanted to go to the zoo, I figured it was on the way, so I'd take him. We'll all enjoy it anyway" Mori said from the front seat, "Now calm down Kyoya." He shot a glare at the shadow king, causing the shadow king to grow more irritable and everyone else in the car become fearful of what was going to happen next.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Haruhi said nervously. The twins nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, Kyoya sighed as he adjusted his glasses before looking up with a slight smile, "Well, I guess this could be a fun experience for us all. We can all enjoy all enjoy the ride anyway!"

Everyone was shocked by the sudden mood change, but soon the passengers relaxed and made idle chitchat which consisted of an over dramatic Tamaki, taunting twins, slightly aggravated Ciel, excited Hunny, cold Kyoya, and indifferent Haruhi and Sebastian who were holding a conversation of their own.

"Look at them chatting away. He's probably planning on how to put 'the moves' on her." Tamaki said with a sad puppy dog look on his face. The twins saw an opportunity and smirked.

"I heard he had a thing for Haruhi." Kaoru said nonchalantly to his brother.

"Yeah, he has a shrine dedicated to her in his room and everything." Hikaru lied mischievously.

Tamaki forced himself into the conversation at this point, "What shrine?"

"The one Sebastian has dedicated to Haruhi. It's hidden in his closet." Kaoru answered him

"What all is in this shrine?" Tamaki asked, staying just quiet enough so Sebastian couldn't hear him on the other side of the limo.

"Oh, nothing too over the top," Hikaru sighed, "Just some provocative pictures of her, some candid photos of her at inappropriate times, some forks and things she's eaten off of, a used tissue or two."

"I heard he had some of her clothing in there as well." Kaoru added.

"He almost has a whole outfit! He's just missing her undergarments."

"Undergarments?" Tamaki asked with a grave look on his face.

"You know, like her bra." Hikaru told the naive blond.

"And her panties." Kaoru added, just for extra cruelty.

"I will not stand for this creep going after my beautiful daughter's private clothing articles!" Tamaki yelled, causing strange looks from Hunny and Ciel. Kyoya was too preoccupied by his handy dandy notebook and Haruhi and Sebastian had managed to tune them out.

"If he keeps talking to her like this, he may get a hold of them by the time this trip is over." Kaoru whispered to Tamaki, struggling not to snicker.

"What? I must stop this!" Tamaki said, "HARUUHIIIIII!" he yelled as he leaped from his seat to embrace her as tightly as possible.

"Senpai….. Can't…. Breathe" Haruhi struggled out.

"Oh Haruhi! Daddy loves you so much! I would never let anything bad happen to you, like letting perverts get a hold of your possessions." Tamaki went on and on of his love for Haruhi as her face turned a slight purple color.

"What is he doing?" Ciel ask Hunny, looking the tall boy pressed tightly against a slowly suffocating Haruhi.

"Oh, Tama-chan is just overreacting a little, that's all" Hunny smiled back at Ciel, "But Haru-chan looks like she needs air."

"I agree." Sebastian nodded, "Tamaki, how about you let go before you kill the poor girl?" he asked politely.

"How dare you tell me how to raise my daughter!" Tamaki yelled at Sebastian, "I love her and I would never hurt her you-"

"We're here." Mori said from the front.

"Yay!" Hunny squealed as he raced out of the limo, Hikaru following right behind him. Kyoya casually climbed out after them

"I can't wait to see the lions! Come on Ciel." Kaoru said to the dark haired boy as he motioned towards the door with his head.

"I always love watching the lions too! Are you coming Sebastian?" Ciel asked, climbing out of the limo behind Kaoru.

"Of course young mas- I mean, host." Sebastian said, letting a small laugh escape him, "Are you coming Tamaki? Haruhi?"

"Yeah, just let me catch my breath for a few minutes." Haruhi panted, her face slowly turning to a light pink color.

"Yeah! Give my darling princess some space!" Tamaki barked at Sebastian, "Do you need an oxygen tank? Will the zoo have enough air for you? Do we need to have some commoners kicked out so my little girl can have more air?"

"I'm fine Senpai. C'mon, let's go catch up with the others." Haruhi slid out of the limo, Tamaki keeping his arm protectively around Haruhi the entire time. The three quickly walked to meet the others who were standing in a group, looking confused.

"How do we do this? Do we just walk in?" Hikaru asked.

"You have to pay obviously." Ciel said looking at all the tellers.

"Do we just walk up or…?" Tamaki asked.

"Oh brother, it isn't that difficult." Haruhi said as she led the group towards one of the women.

"Welcome!" said the admittance lady, "How many?"

"Nine." Haruhi answered before Tamaki could speak and say something stupid.

"That will be one hundred and twenty-six dollars." the lady smiled cheerfully.

"How much?" exclaimed Haruhi, "I'm sorry, we can't afford that." She apologized.

"Nonsense!" exclaimed Tamaki, "Nothing is too expensive for my dear daughter!" He pulled out money from his wallet which totaled to be twice as much as needed. Kyoya quickly snatched the money from Tamaki and handed the lady the exact amount and not a cent more.

"You better be able to make up for the wasted money." He grumbled before entering.

"Thank you Kyo-chan!" yelled Hunny as rode in on Mori's shoulders.

The rest of the group followed in behind them, not yet knowing the chaos that was about to ensue…
