Disclaimer: …I'm getting really tired of putting this but since I don't feel like breaking "tradition"…I don't own Ouran Host Club

Now that I'm done…I've just got a random question. Where does Tamaki keep the roses that he gives out to girls?

"Where are they? I can't find them!" Tamaki had called the rest of the host club.

"Have you tried Haruhi's cell phone?" This was the twins.

"Or Kano's?" This was Kyouya.

"Kano doesn't have a cell phone! And Haruhi won't add me to her buddy list!"

"They are in a small village. It's said to be run completely by food." Kyouya's calm voice indicated that he was reading from his notebook. "Ranka-san worried that Haruhi and Kano would set the house on fire so he sent them to a business partner in an out of the way place so if Kano makes a nuisance of herself, no one will care."

"Kano, some customers are coming." Kano saluted and stood by the door. When they opened the door. She bowed.

"Welcome." She stood up and smiled. Her jaw dropped in pleasant surprise as she saw who it was. Haruhi was walking by with a load of laundry when she stopped behind Kano and stared at the newcomers.

"What are you two doing here?" Both Kano and Haruhi smiled uncertainly.

"Why would they come here?" The host club, sunglasses and all, stood in the middle of the village square. "Even if Ranka-san sends them here." Tamaki stopped a passing lady and offered her a rose.

"Madam, your eyes bring shame on even the most flawless diamond. Would you happen to know where a Fujioka Haruhi and Kolane Kano are residing?" The lady smiled and nodded.

"Of course, I would. Who in this village doesn't know? Since those three kids came to visit, this place has become much more lively. You'll find Fujioka-chan and Kolane-chan at the HAK Hotel and Restaurant, which by the way was named after them. It's that way. You can't miss it." The lady pointed and walked away. The host club walked the way that she had indicated.

Kano and Haruhi were on their break. "So you guys were just here, waiting for us to show up? Didn't know that you were so loyal." Kano poked the guy with brown hair in the arm. "Your name should've been Dog instead of Lexander." Lexander flinched when she'd called him a dog. He put his elbows on the table and looked at Kano.

"I think when you welcomed us it was the first time I saw you smile." Kano smirked. "I'm much more used to seeing that look on your face, but a smile's much better. Can't believe that you only show it to girls at your school for a club." Kano rolled her eyes and shook her head, saying she was a part of the host club due to special circumstances.

"So you're going to a super rich school, right? You got in through a scholarship didn't you?" Haruhi nodded at the black haired guy. "Thought so. You always were academically smart."

"So, have you been just waiting here for us with Lexander, Lars?" He gave an embarrassed smile and nodded.

"Yeah, but it was no picnic. He's so neat and clean. Half the time I'm wondering why he just doesn't move to a hospital room." Lexander chucked a napkin at Lars.

"How can you live in that mess? One of these days that mess'll crush you. Death by dirty underwear. Want that?" Lars went red as the two girls snickered, then laughed. It was obvious that all four of them were having a good time.

"So this is it huh?" The host club stared at a hanging sign that boldly declared, HAK Hotel and Restaurant.

"So Kanny-chan and Haru-chan are staying in there, ne? Hunny tried to peer through the windows but they weren't even in the front yard so the windows were too far away.

"Yeah." Mori only nodded.

"Huh? What are you guys doing here?" Arai peeked out from behind his pile of groceries. "I didn't expect to see you here. Were you worried about Haruhi?" Hikaru rubbed the back of his head.

"Look, sorry about the last time we met." Arai blinked at Hikaru before smiling.

"No, It's fine." He took the bags from off his bike and began walking towards the building. "The two of them are supposed to be on break right now so they'll be able to talk to…" The door opened and the host club and Arai saw Haruhi, Kano, Lexander, and Lars sitting around a table.

"Death by dirty underwear. Want that?" Lexander was saying. The boys turned white with big eyes.

"Wh-what?" The four of them turned.

"Oh! Arai-kun's back." Kano walked over to him and took the bags. "I'll stick these in the back." With that, she disappeared into the back room and was back. There was an awkward silence as each person thought of something to say. "Yeah…Ouran High School Host Club, this is Lars and Lexander. Lars was Empress' second and Lexander was Blue Rose's." Lars and Lexander nodded politely to each one of the hosts. The silence returned. "Er…" Kano dusted her hands, and turned around. "I'll just get back to work." She began walking away.

"Wait! Kano!" Nearly everyone said that. She turned and looked at them.

"Haruhi, we need to get back to work. It's almost time to set up for dinner." Haruhi nodded and went to follow Kano. Arai took a glance at them nervously before following the two girls to prepare his duties for the dining hour. Once the three of them were gone, Lars and Lexander looked at the host club appraisingly.

"So we're up against you blue bloods, huh?" Lexander smirked.

"We're not gonna lose to the likes of you, but you'd better not be playing around with Haruhi or Kano, or we'll take you out faster than you can say destroy." Lars clenched his fists.

"Destroy." The twins said it in their trademark perfect unity. "What do you know? We're still here." The two boys growled.

"Don't push us."

"I assume you two feel jealous that we spend more time with both Kano-kun and Haruhi-kun nowadays than you both are able to." Lexander snorted and turned away.

"Whatever. Let's get a table before the place starts to get full." The two of them headed away.

"I wonder what that was about." Tamaki stood there clueless as always.

"How would I know?" Kyouya pushed up his glasses.

Few Hours Later

It was dinnertime and the restaurant was completely packed. Kano was in the kitchen cooking, Arai was bussing tables and Haruhi was taking orders. The host club looked at the empty plates left on the table.

"I didn't know that Kano could cook that well." Tamaki made the comment to Arai who had come to clean up. Arai smiled.

"Yeah…I didn't either before we came here. I was surprised how well she cooked but then again, she grew up with only her brother and her brother sure wasn't the one who could cook." Aria had finished cleaning the table. "Oh, while you're here could you all do something useful?" The host club looked at each other.

Next Day

"Kanny-chan, Kanny-chan!" Hunny walked over to Kano, crying. "I can't find my bunny!" Kano blinked at Hunny before understanding.

"Didn't you just have it? Wait, try looking by the tree. If it's not there, then I don't know where it is." Hunny ran to the tree that Kano had pointed out. She walked around the grounds. Tamaki was hanging out with Haruhi. No surprise.

"You know that you aren't to turn your cell phone off…Kano-kun." Kano shrugged, not even turning around to look at the speaker. Only Kyouya used her name in that tone of voice.

"Well, it's not like I wanted it in the first place." Kyouya smirked.

"I suppose. Then you won't mind my taking it back."

"Be my guest. Ranka-san gave me a pager so it's easier for me."

"Right and a pager is better?"

"Yeah. You have an excuse not to talk to someone and they can't get mad at you for it."

After some more dull conversation, Kano continued on her patrol. The twins were entertaining a few ladies during their break.

"It's time for the "which one is Hikaru-kun?" game!" The ladies clapped. The ladies guessed that the twin on the right was Kaoru and the one on the left was Hikaru. "You're right!"

"That's terrible." Kano had appeared behind them. "You shouldn't fool them. They don't know you as well." Kano put her elbow on the twin on her right, the ladies' left. "This is Kaoru. The other's Hikaru." The twins blatantly stated that she was wrong. "I'm not. Kaoru's got kinder eyes than you, Hikaru. Not to mention some more reserve than you do."

"Yeah right." Kano smiled knowing that she was right. "You can't tell by the eyes." Kano shrugged.

"If you don't believe me, you don't believe me." With that she walked off.

The twins were cleaning up the front path when Lexander showed up.

"Don't think I didn't see that."

"See what?" The twins looked at each other.

"Kano smiled for you. She never does that for anyone else. She only gives them a smirk and walks off." Lexander clenched his fists. "The host club is all she talks about you know. Even when she saw me again. Me, her second in command for who knows haw long." The twins looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Before, they could answer however, Kano showed up.

"There you two are." Kano put a hand on one shoulder of both of the twins. "Some customers want to talk to you." She pushed them both toward the hotel. She waited until they were out of earshot before she turned to Lexander. "I don't like how you were about to threaten them. There's a reason I stopped being Blue Rose and it has nothing to do with Empress or the Yakuza. But right now, standing here and looking at you, I'm glad I met the host club and I'm glad that I choose them over you." She turned and headed into the restaurant without a backward glance.
