Chika took a deep breath as he stood outside the music room, Usa-Chan held to his chest. It was his first day back at school and he felt that he had to stop by.

"Alright Mitsukuni, I trust you." He whispered and opened the door to find the hosts sitting next to Honey's table in tears, it had been months since they lost him and the pain had yet to lessen. Takashi turned from it unable to handle the sadness. No one seemed to notice he was there.

"The guests should be here soon, we should get ready." Tamaki said half heartedly.

"Whatever you say boss." The twins said in unison but no one moved.

Chika moved closer, fresh tears fell landing on the rabbit.

"Yasuchika, I didn't expect to see you here. " Mori said suddenly. The hosts attempted to wipe away their own tears.

"Please come in, I'm sorry we aren't exactly -"

"It's okay, I just wanted to come and tell you that I'm sorry that he's gone."Tamaki smiled sadly.

"Thank you, but he was your brother, we should be saying that to you."

"He was important to all of you too. He really thought very highly of you,and-" chika lowered his head.

For a while no one spoke.

"Your father said that you're not allowed to do karate anymore, I know how much it means to you."

"It's fine, I promised Mitsukuni I'd listen to the doctor anyway, it's the least I can do now."

"Can we get you some tea or coffee or anything?"

"I guess I could stay for something to drink." Without a word. Haruhi got up to get and drinks.

"We're having a special treat to honor Honey-senpai today, we just reopened the club, I know you don't like sweets but if you wanted to stay we'd like to have you." Tamaki offered.

"I could stay for a while."

"That's great, you can sit wherever you're most comfortable the guests will be here any second. Haruhi's really good at making the coffee and tea so it shouldn't be long."

Chika nodded and sat down on the chair behind him. It wasn't long before the ladies arrived and noticed him.

"We heard about Honey-Senpai, we're so sorry Chika." They said.

"Thank you, Mitsukuni was very brave and one day I hope I can be more like him. He's the best brother anyone could have, I didn't deserve him."

""is there anything we can do?" One of the girls asked as the hosts looked on.

"Remember him, if we remember, Mitsukuni won't leave us." As he spoke he tightened his grip on the rabbit. Tamaki knew just by what he was seeing that Chika was having a hard time and feeling alone, he made up his mind instantly.

" Excuse me for a moment, Chika, it looks like you could use some friends, since you aren't able to be in the karate club, we'd be honored to have you here in the host club." Chika looked up at him.

"you understand that I'm not Mitsukuni, and I. Can never replace him don't you?"

"No one can ever take Honey-Senpai's place. But at least you would be with friends. It's something to think about."

"Friends?"

"Of course, the host club is like a family. A family that we want you to be part of."

"You're not asking just because of my brother are you?"

"Of course want you here."

"Come on Chika, say yes." Many of the girls urged.

"I'll join, as long as you don't expect me to be Mitsukuni." Tamaki smiled and turned to the hosts.

"Gentlemen, he have a new host." He announced and the group joined in the welcoming. After several minutes, they brought out the cake and when offered, Chika agreed to have small piece in memory of his brother.

Everyone in the room bowed their heads.

""To Honey-Senpai, he will forever live in our hearts and memories." The hosts said together.

"To Honey!" Everyone repeated before taking a bite.

"Well Mitsukini, I guess you were right, I don't usually do this but since you gave me your life, I can at least give you some cake." Chika took a bite of his cake and smiled, he readjusted Usa-Chan in his arms.

"So-"

"How's the cake?" The twins asked.

"It really isn't that bad." Chika replied, he could get used to his new friends.
