I'm so happy it's summer T.T though that means I have to end this story soon. Though will never end my fandom for Tamaru. XD Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran Host Club which belongs to Bisco Hatori and Funimation

Summary: Similar to Beauty and the Beast but with a different twist to the tale. Tamaki Suoh is the prince of the school and president of the newly formed Host Club. To Nekozawa he seems nothing more than a player toying with girls' hearts and places a curse on him. Now Tamaki has to make his 116th guest his bride.

"Summer vacation…" Hikaru moaned with a sigh of relief.

"The perfect time to spend with friends." His brother finished for him.

"So why did you have to bring me here?" Haruhi muttered, huddled under an umbrella. She curled her knees close to her chest though the pool was over two feet away.

"Because we couldn't have left you alone for the summer." Tamaki fretted leaping in front of her. "After all without spending company with us you would…forget about us!" He covered his mouth in shock, tugging her in a tight embrace. Haruhi only glared annoyingly at the other kidnappers, who broke into her apartment while she was asleep. By the time she woke up, she was in a strange room filled with different types of girly swimwear.

"Not to be rude but I did have my own agenda today." She muttered, pushing against his chest.

"Don't you like to swim Haru-chan?" Hunny asked, popping up with a floaty around his waist.

"Not really." The four, excluding Mori and Kyoya all looked at her oddly as if expecting more. "What?"

"Is it just that you don't like it?" Kaoru asked.

"Or you can't?" Hikaru grinned slyly.

"It's not that I can't I'm just not entirely fond of it. Can't I go home?" She groaned, pulling her jacket closer around her bikini clad body.

"Not until you use your swim suit." The two twins said defiantly.

"I don't need to use it, I'm not going in! And who asked you for a swimsuit?" She muttered the last part.

"Haruhi, we simply want to spend quality time with you on our break." Kyoya spoke up. "Although no one's forcing you to stay."

The two ginger heads and Tamaki glared at him, though he paid no mind and simply adjusted his glasses.

"Though, we're not saying you won't get…a discount." There was a pause of silence.

"Discount?"

"A small reprieve of your debt."

"That doesn't mean I'm getting in the pool."

"Of course." He agreed, sending a bad feeling down her spine. "We can't force you." With the small glint in two similar pair of eyes, Haruhi only leaned back in the chair, cautiously watching the others.

"Alright, I'll stay the afternoon." She grumbled, zipping the jacket up.

"Fine…fine…." Kaoru sighed.

"I guess we'll have to make due with a water gun fight!" Hikaru whipped around pumping a water gun directly into Tamaki's back.

"What the- why spray at me?!"

"Well you're the only one we can probably get to fight with us." Hikaru explained as if it was the most obvious of things.

"As if I would fight with you two." Tamaki huffed.

"Really? Why not Tono?" Hikaru asked cockily.

"Because it's frivolous, why would I waste my time?" Hikaru brushed closer and cupped his hand around the blonde's ear.

"I guess you don't want a chance at winning the spare photos we took of Haruhi trying on the numerous different swimsuits we put her in, including the one that looks best on her that she's wearing right now." Tamaki's eyes casted a glance at said girls direction. "Clearly you're not going to see it on your own."

In an instant Tamaki had a similar pump gun in hand and began the war by the pool.

"Like I'll let you keep those!" While the two were busy pumping countless ounces of water, Haruhi only watched board.

"Those two can goof off anywhere."

"Yeah, but at least it isn't real serious." Kaoru grinned walking up.

"I thought you would play with them." He snickered to her comment.

"Well, I don't think I exactly have a place to 'play' anywhere."

"Don't you always? I mean there were times you and Hikaru teamed up against Tamaki-senpai."

He only shrugged, placing the point of his gun against his neck casually. "Yeah but in this case it's kinda different."

"How so?" He casted a side glance at her with a sly smirk. If only you had an idea, Haruhi.

"Hey Kaoru!" Hikaru shouted sending a spray into the face of his twin, snapping him from his conversation with Haruhi. "Don't get distracted!"

Kaoru chuckled to himself aiming his own water gun at his twin. Knowing that what he meant by not to get distracted, was his own hidden message to back away from his secret crush. Although it was strange to have someone to share Hikaru with, he found it amusing to see him flustered with no idea how.

"I wouldn't accuse him about being absent minded Hikaru!" Tamaki yelled at the two throwing a water balloon grenade between the two, naturally getting Haruhi wet. There was a moment of awkward silence, when through her wet bangs, Haruhi glared up at the three.

She huffed out an aggravated sigh and slipped her feet into her flip flops. "I'm going to go get a towel." She grumbled, walking past the trio.

"Look what you did now Boss." Hikaru mumbled lowering his gun.

"It wasn't my fault you guys were so close."

"Sure, blame us and act like it's our fault." Kaoru added.

"It is!"

"Oh shut- up!" Hikaru huffed spraying him. Tamaki, ducked out of the way and instead it caught the young brunette walking back from the towel stand to lose balance on the walk and crash into the pool.

"Haruhi!" Tamaki shouted dropping his gun and diving after her, keeping in mind that she tripped into the deep end. The brunette under the water began kicking frantically, being pulled down by her jacket. As she began paddling to the surface, she felt a pair of arms grab hold and help pull her. Bursting above the surface she coughed the water out and kept trying to not keep her head bobbing in the water and tried kicking to keep her up. Wiping her eyes she squinted to see the amethyst eyes of her upperclassman staring back at her.

"Are you alright Haruhi?" He murmured, brushing aside a piece of her wet bangs.

"Yeah I'm fine Senpai, thanks." She coughed trying her best to paddle to the ladder.

"Haruhi let me help you." He insisted, swimming alongside her easily, gripping her arm and pulled her along.

"I'll be fine, thanks to you three." She grumbled. "Stupid water guns."

"I thought you said you could swim." Hikaru said from the edge.

"I can…" Haruhi began feeling herself being pulled down but paddled her best up to prevent sinking. "But it's difficult in water I can't touch down in. I'm not that great."

"Take off your cover up and you won't weigh as much." Kaoru sighed, placing his palm against his head.

"I'd prefer…not." She gulped for breath, bobbing under a moment. Tamaki helped pull her up again, looking utterly concerned. "Fine." She huffed, unzipping it under the water and did her best to shrug it off. When it slipped past her fingers and fell to the bottom.

"You can leave it, we'll get it later." Tamaki assured, swimming alongside her. With the easily discarded weight, she was able to paddle towards the ladder and pulled herself up, climbing out as fast as she could. With her out of the water, Tamaki got a view of her swimsuit and ducked his nose under water in hoped to cool his blush. It was a light pink bikini with a ruffled part to give a better definition to her chest.

"Haru-chan looks really cute in her swimsuit!" Hunny exclaimed, paddling alongside on his floaty.

"Yeah, we did a good job." The twins smirked in unison with a high five. Haruhi just shrugged and walked past them to sit in her chair again.

"It's just a little too girlish."

Oh no… Tamaki thought not trailing his eyes elsewhere. It's just perfect.

Mori swam past him towards the ladder with the yellow jacket in hand.

"Thanks Mori-senpai." Haruhi sighed, looking at the soaked lump that he tossed out. "I think it should be time for me to go."

Tamaki bolted up from the water, determined to find a way to keep Haruhi in her swim suit.

"But Haru-chan…we were gonna hang out the entire break here." Hunny wined looking up at her with big watery eyes. His indication of the break only being an extra day off with conferences being held at the school.

"I never said I could." She reasoned trying to be resistant to his gaze. "We have end of term exams next week."

"Like you're not probably going to get the highest rank in the class." Hikaru shrugged, not really caring about the topic.

"Well I still have to tread lightly; I only keep my scholarship remaining in the top five of my class."

"You'll be fine." Kaoru assured with a smile, stealing a glance to Hikaru. With a sly smile he turned back to Haruhi. "So fine that there was something I wanted to ask you."

The dramatic pause only built up the suspension between the others, although made Tamaki who was climbing out of the pool tense.

"Yeah, what is it?" Haruhi of course was oblivious to everyone's reaction. Kaoru bent down to eye level with her, with his smile spreading a little wider.

"I was wondering if you would want to go on a date tomorrow afternoon." And with the splash that followed, Tamaki lost his balance and fell back into the pool. Floating under water for a few minutes in his shock.

"This cannot be happening…" Tamaki groaned from the large bed. Kyoya glanced up; the only glow in the room was the illumination of his laptop.

"Well what do you expect to happen? Haruhi to fall head over heels for you? Without you lifting a finger?" He asked sarcastically.

"Isn't that how it always is?" Tamaki chuckled to himself quietly. "Ironic to how I do it to nearly every girl who comes to the Host Club, and she's the only one it won't work on."

"I suppose that's the ironic coincidence of your predicament. But you can't expect her to not turn down other offers, and you definitely can't object about how others may have feelings for her."

"How could I not? Both of those doppelgangers like her now."

"So what do you intend to do?"

"I intend…." He bolted up straight forward on the bed. "To watch what happens tomorrow."

"Of course you would want to do something like that." Kyoya sighed, shutting his laptop and leaving the room to go off to bed.

The next morning, Tamaki lead the gang of snoopers, consisting of himself, Hunny, Mori, and a reluctant Kyoya. Luckily, they overheard Kaoru's plans of where he would meet Haruhi, and they waited for the two to arrive.

"Look at Haru-chan!" Tamaki exclaimed pointing at the approaching figure. Haruhi came first, always not wanting to be late and was calm for someone going on her first date.

She intended to dress casually, though when she woke up, it seemed that her father just happened to have been washing all of her jeans and forgot to dry them. Leaving only the half of her wardrobe that consisted of her father's donations of brand name dresses. So now she stood waiting, being secretly staked by the host club, in a pink sundress with a white shirt underneath as to cover her shoulders.

"So cute…" Tamaki murmured to himself, feeling his face heat up once again.

"Yeah, it's good I called a little bit ahead with Haruhi's dad." A familiar voice said from behind the four. Tamaki who was two dwelled in admiring Haruhi, turned to meet golden eyes, and tensed when he glanced back and saw the approaching ginger head.

"Hey sorry I'm late." He shrugged with a small smile tugging at his lips.

"It's no problem…" Haruhi muttered tilting her head slightly to the side. Another cute motion to Tamaki. "Though what are you doing here…Hikaru?"

"Yeah, well you see Kaoru…didn't real feel up to a date." He muttered slowly, staring down at his feet. From a distant they could see his slightly flushed face. "I could understand if you don't want to go anymore."

"I don't really mind." Haruhi shrugged. Hikaru's face turned only a little darker, while Tamaki's was paling. The ginger head reached for her wrist and pulled her along.

"Ok, let's go find something to do." He grumbled. As they turned the corner, the rest of the members followed.

"So why are you stalking Hikaru?" Tamaki hissed to Kaoru. The two along with Hunny were peering around the edge of the corner in order to watch the two. Kaoru shrugged and glanced up.

"Like you're one to talk Tono, I mean aren't you stalking them to?"

"I call it supervising."

"You want to see a movie?" Hikaru suggested.

"It'd be a shame on a pretty day." Haruhi pointed out. Filtering her gaze up at the sky with her hand.

"Than what would you want to do?"

"Idiot." Kaoru whispered, slapping his face giving a stronger hope to Tamaki.

"Well there's a farmer's market over there." Haruhi said, pointing in the direction of a large banner.

"Alright." The two walked ahead, turning onto the street the market was held.

"Wanna try one?" Haruhi asked, within seconds already being offered free samples of freshly grown vegetables.

"I don't think I'll-" He was silenced by a roasted mushroom being stuffed into his mouth.

"Just try it." She said with an actual giggle at his expression. The three stalkers, Mori and Kyoya bailing to act like normally people casually watching the scenario, each blushed darker than the first.

SO CUTE! Tamaki's thoughts screamed though he remained tense at the sight and unsure of why his heart was twisted inside of him.

"These would be great with what I had planned for dinner tonight, and they're a lot cheaper here than at the super market." Haruhi said to herself.

She doesn't even act like it's that much of a date. Tamaki noticed as she pulled out the money she owed to the vendor before having it placed in a plastic bag. Throughout the afternoon, the events transpired like that. Haruhi and Hikaru walking from booth to booth with their friends trailing after them.

"You want to stop here for a minute?" Haruhi suggested looking towards the nearby ice cream shop.

"Sure, but I thought you didn't really like sweets." Hikaru recalled. Haruhi shrugged and opened the door. Leaving the others to only be able to watch what they did, careful to not be noticed.

"Well ice cream is a treat; I wouldn't want to eat it every day though." She explained placing her order for a vanilla one.

"Yeah, you don't want to be like Hunny-senpai." She chuckled to his joke, causing his face to heat up a little. Once she glanced up, he diverted his gaze out of embarrassment.

"Thanks." She replied to the vendor, taking a small lick of the cold treat. A chill ran down her spine at the temperature of the room, causing her to turn and head back outside with Hikaru trailing behind.

"I wanna try some!" Hunny giggled leaping into the shop with his cousin following along.

"Wanna lick?" Haruhi asked holding the cone up for him to try. Embarrassed he scooped some up with his tongue.

"Yeah, it's good." He looked away again not wanting to share a look with her. As she was about to take another lick, an orange whizzed through the air, knocking the top of the cone off. The two turned around and glanced around for a sign of how it was thrown, to not even spot a stand.

"What the hell?" Hikaru muttered, glancing around.

"Maybe it was an accident?" Haruhi said with doubt in her own voice.

"I guess." He sighed.

"You're not really acting like yourself." She observed.

"Well it's a little weird being apart from Kaoru."

"You guys really are inseparable."

"Yeah, we've been that way since birth. Even today is one of those weird occasions that we're not together."

"So that's the type of bond you share."

"You act as if you didn't know." He stated raising a brow.

"Oh I knew, it was just I wondered how you made your act so realistic for the other girls. I mean it doesn't seem like you're fully lying while you act like you are. You two really care about each other. True loving brothers."

There was a pause of silence with the two standing in the glow of the afternoon sun.

"Haruhi," He sighed looking down to his feet again. "I feel like an idiot."

"Why?" He glanced up at her curious eyes and looked down to hide his behind his bangs.

"Forget it."

Tamaki felt his breath fall out, glad as the two walked back to their original meeting place.

"I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow." Haruhi said, gripping her bag in both hands.

"Yeah, you sure you don't want a walk home?"

"I'll be fine." She muttered. "It's real close to my house. Bye." She waved and started walking away. Hikaru waited a few moments until she was gone before he started his stroll around alone.

"Glad that worked out." He glanced up at his younger brother standing in front of him with a smile. "Did you tell her?"

Hikaru looked away and sighed.

"I couldn't. How pathetic is it to tell someone your brother arranged for you to go on a date. It was awkward." He glanced back at his brother with a bit of a narrowed intensity. "Though it was a weird feeling to be followed al through it too."

"Oh…you saw that."

"Yeah, be glad Haruhi didn't."

"I only wanted to watch how it all played out."

"It wasn't exactly you I was worried about ruining it."

"Then who were you worried about?" Kaoru chuckled as they managed to find their car.

"Someone I'm jealous with."

"I mean I doubt even Hunny-senpai would try and steal you special time with Haruhi."

"Tamaki," Hikaru hissed, his fist clenching by his side as he stood by the opened door. "It's official now…that we're rivals."

Alright I sold half my soul for this chapter, so please review if you want more of this love triangle. Especially when one of them is willing to create a rivalry.
