"HARU-CHAN!" Haruhi turned around to see Hunny running towards her. He hugged her tightly but because of his height, Haruhi had to bend down. Haruhi looked over Hunny and saw Mori sitting on the couch next to Tamaki. Mori smiled and nodded at Haruhi.

Hunny finally let go of Haruhi. "So, is everyone living here? Takashi, wouldn't it be cool if we also lived here, it'd be the host club reunited, ne?" He asked his cousin.

"Uh," Haruhi started awkwardly. "I'm not sure if that's possible, the twins are sleeping in the living room. Because there weren't enough rooms, they got their beds sent here and decided upon themselves to use the living room as their sleeping headquarters." Haruhi glared to a certain pair of twins.

"What?" They chorused. Kaoru shrugged "It wasn't our fault you only had three rooms." Hikaru grinned mischievously "Of course, if Haruhi doesn't mind, we could always move our stuff to her room and share with her, that way, Hunny-sempai and Mori-sempai can use the living room." He draped an arm over Haruhi's shoulder.

"Nooooooooooooooo!" Tamaki got up and sprinted towards Hikaru and Haruhi. When he got there, he wrenched Hikaru's arm off Haruhi. "Brothers and sisters aren't supposed to sleep in a room together! Mummy! Do something."

Kyoya sighed. "I suppose you're referring to me. Well, Hikaru and Karou, there's no need for you two to move to Haruhi's room. If Hunny and Mori wants to stay with us, they can share the other lounge room. By the way, Hunny and Mori, your school is a bit of a distance from here, you'll probably have to have a chauffer pick you up every morning."

Haruhi heaved a sigh of relief. If she had to share a room with Hikaru and Kaoru, she'd probably get no sleep. On the other hand, Haruhi smiled at the scene infront of her. Tamaki was chasing the twins around the room for coming up with the idea of sharing a room with his 'precious daughter'. Mori and Hunny were standing and staring at the chase while Kyoya was on one side, talking on his mobile, making Hunny and Mori's sleeping arrangements. It was almost like before, in high school only, no hosting.

"Enjoying yourself?" Kyoya had finished talking on the phone and appeared behind her.

"Doesn't it feel like we're back at Ouran?" She asked.

Kyoya stared at her. "No, not really."

Haruhi's shoulders slumped. "Nevermind. The shadow king probably can't feel anything." She muttered.

That night after hotpot, Kyoya excused himself and went into his room. He laid down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Kyoya thought back to Haruhi's words the shadow king probably can't feel anything. Ouch. That hurts. The words spoken from her mouth had really cut him. Was he really that emotionless?

The next morning.

"Haru-chan!" Haruhi was spreading jam on her toast when she turned her head to see hunny-sempai come bounding towards her. "Haru!" With a big smile, he pointed to the piece of paper in his hand. "Tomorrow, Haru-chan"

"C-i-r-c-u-s--c-o-m-i-n-g--t-h-i-s--s-a-t-u-r-d-a-y" Haruhi read out slowly. Unfortunately, before Haruhi could say anything, a voice behind her boomed out his opinion. "OF COURSE! We shall to go to the circus together as a family! It has been so long since we parted and this is the golden opportunity to spend some precious time together. It pains me to think of all those years that had parted me from this family!" Tamaki raised a graceful hand and brushed away the glistening tears which were forming in his eyes.

"No sempai, it has actually been only a year since you left high school. Also are you using that tear-dropping eye solution again?" Haruhi said in an accusing tone.

"WHAT NONSENSE! A true king can form tears without that rubbish! MY TEARS ARE GENUINE! LOOK!!" Tamaki grabbed Haruhi's shoulders and yanked her up close and personal with his eye.

"Yes… sempai, I see they are genuine tears. Now can you please let go of me now?" Haruhi said tensely.

No matter how oblivious Tamaki was to some things, the sarcasm was in Haruhi's tone was too obvious for even a person like Tamaki to not notice. He immediately reverted into his corner of gloom.

Haruhi sighed. "Right, I'm off to school. I'll see you all this afternoon."

On her way to school, Haruhi thought over a few things. Last night, kyoya had strangely excused himself and went into his bedroom without coming out until morning. This morning, he wouldn't even look at her. Nor did he look at anyone else, he just ate in silence and left.

Haruhi looked up and a little infront of her, was kyoya walking deep in thought. She hurried to keep up with him.

"Sempai!" Kyoya turned around. Why was it that she always caught him offguard?

He nodded at her.

"Is there anything wrong? You seemed different." Her large eyes looked up into his. Kyoya quickly turned and gazed ahead.

"No, I'm fine." He needed to think. He needed time to figure out what were his priorities. He doubted very much that his father would give him brownie points for falling for a commoner. The time is coming soon when his father will decide the next successor, although his father had said he would decide in a few years, kyoya knew that it would be long before his father would make his choice.

"Uh, sempai?" A voice separated his thoughts. "I just asked you a question."

"Eh? You did? Right. ….sorry, can you please repeat it?" Kyoya asked.

"I asked if you wanted to come to the circus with the rest of the host club" she repeated.

"That sounds fine." He answered.

"Ohhh, so sempai also likes clowns. I never knew that." She smiled up at him.

Kyoya sighed. That isn't the reason why I'm coming.

A black BMW drove past the boy and girl slowly. "Ne Takashi, Kyo-chan already figured out his feelings I think. But I hope Haru-chan will also figure out her feelings in time." He smiled behind the tinted windows at his two friends.

A/N: Heys. I'd just like to say that this story will probably be put on hold for a little while. DO NOW FEAR, I WILL FINISH IT OF COURSE. But, I've started another Ouran fanfic recently and decided to work on that for a while. Drop in over at my other fanfic anytime and tell me what you think. Thanks.
