As one of the guys reached out towards her chest she shut her eyes tightly hoping this was all just a bad dream and she was still sitting in front of the fire with Kaoru's arm tightly around her. While keeping her eyes closed she heard the door slam open. When she opened her eyes she saw Kyoya and Kaoru beating the three guys then throwing them out of the room. When they were gone Kaoru rushed over to Tomoko and untied her hands and her freed hands wrapped around him so tightly like she was never going to let go, and she never planned to. Kaoru pulled her face in front of his and gentle pulled the tap off the kissed her passionately. Kyoya stood by the door with his back towards them to give them a moment. After a couple of minutes Tomoko stood up and rubbed her wrists that had some rope burn on them.
As they walked back to the class room Kyoya explained how the girl was a old fan of Tomoko but became jealous of the other girls so she did a background check on her and that's how she found out. When they got back to Tomoko's classroom the girl who trapped her in the gym storage was standing in front of everyone giving a speech but it went silent when she noticed them."See! There she is hogging all the men from the host club! She has been lying to everyone." She exclaimed and everyone started yelling and even threw a book or two. Finally Tomoko went to the front of the room and pushed the girl out of the way and she pushed her hard enough that she fell over and a chalk brush hit her on the head covering her in dust.
"Yes that's right I'm a girl," Tomoko said and yanked her wig off letting her hair flow freely and everyone gasped and elbowed each other. "But unlike this sweet and gentle girl has told you, I am not stealing anyone from the host club, their friends! All I wanted was friends." Tomoko yelled at them and at the truth in her voice brought tears to her eyes. With her head cast down to the ground Tomoko tried her hardest to hide the fact she was crying, everything was too much anymore. Then she felt two people grab her hand. Kyoya was holding one hand and looking the other way and Kaoru was holding the other hand and was staring the people down. "That's right were her friends, so there is no reason for any of you to hate her. Plus I have no idea how any of you can hate her, because I love her." Then Kyoya let go of her hand and Kaoru grabbed hold of it and stared Tomoko sweetly in the eyes.
"Tomoko I know we have been arranged to marry but I want to make it more official," he said then pulled out a pink plastic ring that you can get at grocery stores. "Tomoko Ito, will you marry me Kaoru Hitachiin?" The girls in the room squealed and the boys made howling sounds so loud people from other classes came to see what was going on. In the growing crowd outside of the door she could see Haruhi, Tamaki who was freaking out about not knowing anything that's going on, Hikaru who was becoming outrageously jealous of Tomoko and Honey-senpai who was sitting on the shoulders of Mori-Senpai. Embarrassed Tomoko nodded silently and Kaoru slipped the ring on her left hand ring finger and smiled brightly.
He kissed her lightly then moved away because they were both blushing madly. After the whole scandal things calmed down at school. Tomoko had to go to school as a girl now and she was getting much more attention from the guys which Kaoru hated of course. Since she was a girl she couldn't be a member of the host club but she did become a manager to the happiness of Renge because she liked spending time with another girl. With the year coming close to an end people were getting ready for graduation which was less than a month away. Mori and Honey were getting more and more girls requesting them that they needed their own quarter of the music room. As the realization that Mori and Honey would be leaving was hitting Tomoko she was leaning the back of the couch watching them make the girls go crazy over them.
Then the face of Kaoru popped in front of her and he waved his hands in front of her face trying to get a reaction but she was in too much of a trance. Then finally as a secret weapon Kaoru kissed her softly on the lips and she blinked back into reality. They smiled and said sweet things to each other and would occasionally kiss. Kyoya walked up behind Kaoru and started writing in his book. "I told you two that you cannot display affection or I would report you to the principal." He was writing more and more until Kaoru turned from Tomoko and grabbed the edge of the book and forced it in front of Kyoya's face so he couldn't see. "There problem solved." With that he turned over his shoulder and kissed her passionately and the girls squealed out of happiness. The clearing the in the storm is closer then it appeared.
