Hello again, Kitty Kitties! I've just gotten back from seeing Despicable Me 2 (great, by the way) and am going to start typing again! Hope you like my OC Yinghao Tsuminako, she's in pretty much every story I write and is the anime OHSHC embodiment of Toph Bei Fong from Avatar: The Last Airbender because that girl kicks some real ass. Anyways, on with ze story!

Chapter 10

"Stepsister?" Kaoru asked. His cheeks were flushed with red. "I didn't know you had a stepsister."

"Me neither, until about a month ago," Haruhi replied with a shrug. "My dad got married."

"REMARRIED? YOUR DAD?" Kaoru asked in shock.

"Yeah. I think I forgot to mention it..."

"Whatever. We can talk about this later. Right now we have to figure out what to do with all these people!" Kaoru took his phone out of his pocket and the screen illuminated. "Oh shit, it's six forty-five. People will start showing up soon."

"Take them to the music room!" Hunny said, already dragging two people behind him. Haruhi shrugged and grabbed Yinghao and another girl by the wrist. Kaoru looked at the two with pure bewilderment as he followed with the last three.

"Hey Haru-chan," Hunny glanced up at Haruhi (though he was almost as tall as her now). "What happens if we never see Tama-chan or Hika-chan or Kyo-chan again?"

"We will," Haruhi replied unconvincingly. Hunny's gaze froze this time on Haruhi's terror-filled face.

"You're scared."

Hunny and Haruhi turned around at the sound of Kaoru's voice. "I know you are. You know you are. Just admit it to yourself, Haruhi. You're worried for the sake of Tamaki, Kyoya, and my brother. It's going to be fine though. We've got this little pocket-sized ninja," Kaoru joked as he released his grip on Mitsunashi, third year class D, and messed up Hunny's hair.

By the time that people began showing up, Haruhi, Hunny, and Kaoru had gotten all of the suspicious characters into the music room and began investigating their masks. Kaoru felt the texture and looked up at the others in shock. "They're all different," he choked.

"So?" Haruhi asked, then felt like a complete retard when Hunny and Kaoru turned to her with dropped jaws.

"This one is paper mache, Haruhi," Kaoru said, tossing the mask to her. "That means this one is a commoner and therefore has no right to be at this school."

"I'm a commoner, too," Haruhi said bluntly. Kaoru looked at her like she was a complete dumbass, which was how she was feeling.

"Haruhi, this is Mitsunashi Kanadoga, third year, class D. No scholarships here."

Haruhi looked at the girl with the long red hair. She had bright green eyes and a pair of scissors tucked inside her ninja-suit-whatever pocket. "Oh, I know her! People call her 'Mittens', right?"

"That's correct, Haru-chan!" Hunny clapped. Haruhi blushed.

"So, back to the topic on hand..." Kaoru said, trying desperately to steer them away from nicknames. "Mitsuna-"

"What's your nickname, Kao-chan?" Hunny asked, looking at him with big beady eyes.

"I-I-I don't have one," Kaoru stuttered.

"Come on, everyone has a nickname," Haruhi rolled her eyes. "Mine is 'Mount Fuji'."

"FINE! My nickname is 'Cow'." Kaoru buried his head in shame.

"Um, hello? Where am I?"

Haruhi glared at the girl lying on the floor. She had her head propped up and had listened to every single word they'd just said. "Fuji? Is that you?"

"Shut up, Yinghao. Why did you try to ambush my friends?"

"Oh, that..." Yinghao chuckled. "Why don't we talk about it over a cup of tea? I am, after all, in the music room that contains the host club, am I correct?"

"We're not much of a host club anymore because of you. Why did the effects wear off so quickly on you?"

"What effects?"

"The dart..."

Hunny rolled his eyes. "Haru-chan, there was no dart."

Ooh...mysterious...hope you guys liked this chapter! It's a bit longer than the others so I hope you like it! PEACE OUT! Until the next update!
