Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host club in any shape or form! OHSHC belongs to the amazing Hatori Bisco! If I did Mori and Haruhi would have ended up together. I also do not own the song "My Guardian Angel", this wonderfully beautiful song belongs to Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

To my best friend Abby, who acted as my sounding board! Oh the conversations you have with your best friend! I dedicate this to you!
Takashi, having stepped back when Haruhi wasn't looking and before his friends could ask him too many questions about the just about permanent crimson stain to his cheeks, slipped off into the shadows watching his friends and the keeper of his heart for a few moments. Upon seeing Kyoya slip Haruhi's arm through his, Takashi was surprised to find himself jealous. Just as he was trying to reason with himself and stamp out the unnecessary flare of Jealousy, Takashi heard his phone alert him to a text. Reaching into his inside jacket pocket and flipping open his cell phone, he found a text from Kyoya which sent his eyebrows almost up into his hair-line. Calm down Samurai... I'm only distracting. Looking up, Takashi had to chuckle, watching Kyoya slip his own phone back into his pocket as he and Haruhi walked away.
Seriously .. How does he do that?
Tucking his phone back into his inside jacket pocket, Takashi set off for the 3rd music room at a brisk pace. Great now I'll probably run into everyone. I really want to do this though.. so .. No backing out. I've come this far. Taking the stairs easily two at a time, Takashi hit the landing and took off down the north corridor. Reaching the music room Takashi stopped short of opening the door to listen. It's quiet…I must have beaten them here. Thank you Kendo training! After stepping through the door and closing it behind him, Takashi moved through the music room to the prep room in the back. This is a music room .. Please tell me it has what I need .. From the corner of his eye he spotted a guitar case sitting on the prep table. Moving closer, Takashi found a note attached. "I believe you will find this to your satisfaction. You're welcome. Now go sweep her off her feet already! Ps. You owe me ¥ 1467074.95.'' The Kendo Champion moved with quick steps toward the main room, stopping halfway across the room upon seeing Tamaki and the twins bursting through the door arguing over some "plan" of Tamaki's, Honey following behind. You've got to be kidding me! One look at the their tall senpai caring an instrument case and the mischievous trio stopped mid argument to share a knowing look and turning, gave their quiet senpai a thumbs up . Except for the subtle raise of an eyebrow, no one but Honey would know that their sudden presence fazed the quiet man. Walking through his friends, Takashi shouldered the Guitar case and walked through the door, stopping to turn. Just before closing the door he looked back at his friends, still giving him the thumbs up " There are no secrets in this place."
Kyoya and Haruhi sat having tea as the sound of rushing footsteps preceded a certain mischievous trio. Looking up from their tea, the natural and cool Types had to control the desperate urge to laugh as Hikaru, Kaoru and Tamaki moved not so sneakily through the room. They both were successful until they saw Honey bringing up the rear, walking calmly and yet every few seconds would stage whisper. " Quick! Someone's coming!" and the trio dived behind any available object, going as far as to pose as mannequins. Stopping at the table next to Kyoya and Haruhi, Honey watched the trio make their way to the stage carrying equipment. "Wait for it .." Kyoya and Haruhi looked up to the stage. Hikaru, Kaoru and Tamaki were stock still staring at the stage which had already been set up. Tamaki and the twins turned around confused with mouths hanging open comically. Kyoya and Haruhi, setting their teacups down; shared a look with Honey and all three burst out laughing. " Oh , I forgot to mention … I may have run ahead and set up the stage while you guys were playing ninja." Honey spoke through chuckles, clutching his sides.
Looking at his watch once the laughter died down Kyoya looked up to their king, still in shock up on stage and smirked. "Nicely done Honey senpai. Very nice, if we waited any longer we'd be running late. As members of the host club and hosts of this dance it would look very unprofessional if we had to keep our guests waiting." Seeing that Tamaki was going to throw a fit Kyoya continued on. " …and to see such lovely ladies sad, It would be so ungentlemanly. Right Tamaki?" Shutting his mouth, stopping what ever retort he had planned; Tamaki nodded. "Of course Kyoya, we can't have such bad manners. We are The Ouran Host Club."
Blocking their exuberant king out, Honey turned and noticing Haruhi about to stand and take the tea-tray away, quickly waved over the twins. Jumping from the stage, Hikaru and Kaoru ran over as Honey gently took the tray from his best friend. "Here Haru chan, let me get that for you." Hikaru helped clean off the table as Honey took the tea-tray away. Kaoru was gently and playfully scolding his small friend. "Haruhi! You can't be doing that. What if you got your dress messed up? We don't have enough time to fix it if you do." Haruhi rolled her eyes but sat down as Kaoru touched up her lipstick. "Guys, I'm fine .." Kaoru pulled back, lipstick in hand to look down at the host turned porcelain doll. "But Haruhi, Mori senpai isn't hear to catch you if you fall." Haruhi became flustered, remembering a flight of stairs and a certain pair of arms. "Mori will be here and if I fall he will catch me again." Turning at Haruhi's response the duo looked confused until Haruhi catching her slip up looked anywhere else but at them. "Haruhi?.."
Just as Hikaru and Kaoru where about to ask Haruhi what she had meant by 'again' Honey came running up to them excitedly. "Hika chan, Kao chan! Kyo chan Says we're ready to start in five minutes. Haru chan, come with me!" As the twins took for the main stairs Honey gently took Haruhi by the arm. "Honey senpai, what are you doing?" Smiling reassuringly up at his best friend, Honey lead her to the stairs. "Such a silly question Haru chan. I am helping to make sure you make it safely back up the stairs. You see, Kyoya says we are making our entrance from the landing and I don't want you to fall again, Takashi isn't near to catch you this time." They had just reached the landing at Honey's last sentence and as Haruhi turned with the rest of her fellow hosts to face the hall she looked down at her senpai with wide eyes. "How did you…?" The small martial Artist looked up at his bewildered friend and smiled knowingly Just as the doors were flung open to their guests. "There are no secrets in this place Haru chan."
