DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOT CLUB IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM

"Oh, so much to do! Oh, so much to do!" Bonbusheru said as he paced around his office, "I need to get the right attire, I need to get the right present, I need to make sure my wife and daughter look just right! Oh, so much to do! This is all so great!"

"Would you like me and Shibuia to maybe got shopping for some new wedding outfits?" Haruhi asked with caution.

"I just bought you two new yukatas. How much more clothes do you women need? You think I'm made of money?" Bonbusheru snapped.

"Well no, but I thought you'd want to display your family in its greatest glory," said Haruhi.

"Are you suggesting I don't care how my family looks? That we look poor and unworthy of attending such prestige wedding?!" Bonbusheru asked.

'Oh no!' Haruhi thought.

"I'm sorry that's not what I intended," she quickly said, "I guess I was being selfish and wanting an excuse to get myself some new clothes."

At that Bonbusheru laughed. "You women and your clothes!" he said, "Although, I supposed it wouldn't hurt to make sure you do in fact look your best for this thing. Alright, take the brat and go and make sure it's the best outfit you can find! You both better come back looking like a thousand bucks got it!"

"Sure, thing dear, thank you so much," said Haruhi,

"Just go pick the brat up from school," Bonbusheru ordered, "And since you insist on going out and wasting my money, find a wedding present tomorrow as well!"

"Of course, dear, what's the theme to the wedding?" Haruhi asked.

"Haruhi, this is a Haninozuka wedding. There's only one theme for a Haninozuka wedding, honor and tradition. Find a present that reflects that, if your feeble little mind can grasp what that means," said Bonbusheru.

"Right," Haruhi said. She managed to sneak the invitation from Bonbusheru's desk and take a quick glance. It read, Our Wedding Theme Will Be Happy Meadow with Cute Little Creatures.

'That sounds like something Hunny would want for his wedding,' Haruhi thought as she walked out of the office. However, she stopped and looked back at her office, "By the way, how's that thing with the Hitachiin family going?"

"I already told you that's none of your business Haruhi, unless it needs legal advice," Bonbusheru said as she shoved her out, right into a wall and slammed the door in her face.

"Okay, okay, I guess he's really not going to share much regarding this," Haruhi said to herself.

She walked back to her room and dialed up the secret phone number, trying Hikaru again.

"Hikaru, it's me," she said when he answered.

"Haruhi, what's going on?" Hikaru asked anxious.

"My family got an invitation to Hunny's wedding all of a sudden," said Haruhi.

"You got it? Awesome!" said Hikaru.

"What do you mean?" Haruhi asked.

"Kaoru and I came up with the idea to invite your husband to the wedding as another means to see you in a public setting and share info with you!" Hikaru explained.

"Oh, that makes sense," said Haruhi.

"Yeah, oh and we have a list of nearly everyone of importance that could be your mold leaking info to your husband out our brand of clothes. Do you think if you saw the list, you could recognize a name?" Hikaru asked.

"Hmm, that's a big if," Haruhi admitted, "there's some men in my husband's syndicate that I haven't even met personally or could remember if I've met them already. Plus, they could be using a fake name with you."

"Good point," said Hikaru, "We still got to get you to see that list just in case. Is there any way you can get a list of some of your husband's "employees" that we can fact check with Kyoya or Bossanova?"

"That's an even bigger if!" said Haruhi, "I'll need the best excuse I can think of to get something like that."

"Hmm," Hikaru said, "Well maybe we can come up with something."

"Oh, that reminds me, one of the main reasons I called. Bonbusheru gave me permission to take Shibuia and myself shopping for new clothes for the wedding. Any recommendations?"

"For you my friend, most certainly," said Hikaru.


Shibuia stood outside her school, trying to pass herself off as just a regular girl fiddling with her iPhone when in reality, she was trying to be on alert in case Ken was the one that coming to pick her up today.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Haruhi's car pull up to the front.

"Hi," Haruhi greeted as she opened the door for her.

"Hey," said Shibuia as she got in.

"Feel like doing some shopping?" Haruhi asked.

"For what?" Shibuia asked.

"We've been to high profile wedding," said Haruhi, "For a prestigious family, the Haninozukas."

"Isn't that the biggest martial arts family in the country or in most Asia?" Shibuia asked.

"That's about right," said Haruhi.

"Why would they be inviting a low syndicate like us to a wedding of theirs?" Shibuia asked.

"I guess your dad did something that got their attention that they felt he merit an invitation," said Haruhi.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Shibuia asked.

"Why would assume that?" Haruhi replied.

"You just see a little off lately," said Shibuia.

"Everything's fine honey, I assure you," Haruhi tried to insist.

"Okay," Shibuia said. She still couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Soon the two arrived at a store similar to the one they had shopped at before, but looking a little fancier.

"Are you sure we can afford to shop at a place like this?" Shibuia asked as they walked into the store.

"Sure, your dad said we need to look our absolute best for this wedding," said Haruhi.

"Okay, but I just know he's going to flip out when he sees the bill, even if it's just a hundred bucks," Shibuia said as the two-walked in.

"I'll handle your dad, don't worry," said Haruhi.

'Sometimes I think you handle dad too much for your own good Haruhi,' Shibuia thought. She didn't want to lose another mother figure.

As they walked in, much to the two of their surprise they saw Azami at the front desk.

"Welcome Yamaguchi Ladies, we've been waiting for you," she said as she stood up, bowing.

"You have?" asked Shibuia.

"I already arranged an appointment," Haruhi explained.

"Oh, but why is she here?" Shibuia asked, pointing at Azami.

"I go where the Hitachiins need me. I'm a floater so to speak," Azami explained. She hit a button at least six different women in kimonos came to the front and bowed.

"Welcome Mistress Yamaguchi and Young Miss Yamaguchi, please allow us to serve you today," they all said in unison.

"Thank you," said Haruhi.

"Remember Ladies, this is for Kaoru and Hikaru's friend's wedding, Mitskuni and Hama," Azami made sure to remind the ladies before three each escort Haruhi and Shibuia in opposite directions.

"I assume the color scheme would be pink?" Haruhi asked as the ladies led her to a private room.

"You would be correct madam," said one of her helpers as she flicked a switch to reveal several pink dresses on dress dummies all displayed for her.

"They should meet with your expectations.


"I hope Shibuia isn't too upset about pink," Haruhi said out loud as she looked at the different dresses.

"If she is, our masters have prepared several ones she can also choose from," said another helper.


"Awful lot of a pink here," Shibuia said as she looked at the dresses in her private changing room.

"Well that the theme of the wedding," said one of her helpers.

"But we did try to find some other choices you might like," said another as she opened a secret door and pulled out a few black and pink dresses.

"Oh nice," Shibuia said as she walked over to them eagerly. She found one in particular that sparked her attention. It was knee high, dark pink emborder dress with a black corset and bow in the middle.

"We may accidently ship you this one by mistake," said the helper.

"I like the way you think," said Shibuia.

"Well, when you work for the Hitachiins, you have a little evil side to you. It's only way you'd survive," said the helper.

"Nice, I wouldn't mind getting to work for them," said Shibuia.


"So, did you find the dress you liked?" Haruhi asked once she and Shibuia were done with their dress fittings.

"Oh yes," Shibuia said with a hint of smugness in her smile.

"Are you up to something now?" Haruhi asked.

"Maybe, maybe not," said Shibuia.

"Okay, I'll let you do what you want," said Haruhi as the approached Azumi's desk with the tags.

"Okay, and friends' discount of course," Azumi said to herself as she rang up the clothes, "you'll want delivery too?"

"If it's better," said Haruhi.

"I would imagine," said Azumi. Haruhi nodded.

"Hey, can I ask you something real fast, you're going to attend wedding, right? What are you and Kaoru planning on getting as a gift?"

"Oh, Kaoru, Hikaru, Aiden and I are all going in on one big present," said Azumi, "We've arranged to have a big pink statue of Hunny, Hama, and Usa-Chan along with a cake of similar nature."

"That sounds like something he'd enjoy," said Haruhi, "But who's Aiden?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you knew, that they told you, he's Hikaru's on again off again boyfriend," said Azumi.

"Boyfriend? Did you say boyfriend?!" Haruhi asked.

"Yeah, Hikaru's gay," said Azumi.

"Well, in a weird I'm not surprised," said Haruhi.

"What are we talking about?" Shibuia asked.

"Oh, I was just asking this woman what she and her boyfriend Kaoru, you remember him from the other store right, what they were getting for their wedding present since they're coming too," Haruhi quickly explained.

"If you want to really do some shopping, I heard Hunny really likes this one store the Boss opened not too long ago that you might find something that would suit his fancy," Azumi recommended, "It's kind of like a host souvenir shop."

"A host souvenir shop?" Haruhi asked.

"Yeah, it's stalked with all sort of things host related or things that they like that their fans can buy at a discount for themselves or for their favorite hosts," Azumi said.

"Wow, I'm surprised Renge isn't in on this," said Haruhi.

"Well she is the manager," said Azumi.

"Of course, she is," said Haruhi, "But I guess it'd be the best place to try."

"I'll give you the directions," said Azumi as she jolted it down.


"What is this place? I feel like I've fallen into wonderland," said Shibuia as she and Haruhi walked into the store perfectly labeled, THE HOST CLUB STORE.

"You might as well be," said Haruhi. She studied the front part of the store that had three archways. The first one labeled HOST CLUB GNERATION THREE, the second one, HOST CLUB GENERATION TWO and the final one was properly labeled, HOST CLUB GENERATION ONE.

"What's this this all generation thing?" Shibuia asked.

"If I were to guess, Ouran has had several generations of host clubs," said Haruhi, "Go ahead and look around. I'm going to check out the first-generation section for a wedding present."

"Okay," said Shibuia as she walked towards the third-generation section.

Haruhi walked among the different items and novelties. Everything seemed to reflect her old host club friends to a T.

'Where is the Hunny section though?' she thought as she wondered around.

"Haruhi!"

"Oh-no!" Haruhi moaned as she suddenly found herself in a big bear hug.

"Tamaki!" she shouted as she pulled herself free, "how did you know I was here?"

"Azumi called and let me know. Said I should be here to help find a present for Hunny's wedding! I'm so happy you get to come!"

"Yeah, I'm happy too," said Haruhi as she and Tamaki walked around, "Where do you get all this stuff?"

"Oh, it's all custom made of course," said Tamaki, "Look I even have a small section dedicated to you!"

He led her to a corner that had a picture of her from her high school days hanging above a few shelves with things like cook books, fancy tuna themed accessories, and clothes racked filled with guy and girl type clothes that was labeled, "How do you wish to Dress for Success?"

"Interesting," Haruhi said.

"You should see the other two generations we have also. One happened after you and the twins left high school and the newest one just started up. Each have been hugely successful and brought great honor to the host club name," said Tamaki.

"That's great," said Haruhi, "But unfortunately I really should hurry up and find a wedding present for Hunny and get home."

"I take it your husband doesn't like you to be out for too long?" Tamaki asked as they walked away from Haruhi's section and he led her to the pinkest spot of the store.

"Oh yes, he keeps me and Shibuia on a tight leash," said Haruhi. She heard Tamaki give off a sigh.

"I wish we could just get you out of there now. But I understand your desire to not abdomen her stepdaughter. I'd probably feel the same way," he said.

"Thanks," said Haruhi. She looked around until she saw an Usa-Chan looked figure on a shelf.

"What's this?" she asked.

"Oh, it's the newest Usa-Chan maker!" Tamaki said, "you just pour the mixtures in his head, it cooks them in his stomach and they come out from his feet, while you can also frost it from Usa-Chan's nose!"

"Cute, I guess," said Haruhi.

"It's new too, I don't think Hunny knows about it," said Tamaki.

"Oh," said Haruhi, "I might take it, if I can find something worth getting for Hama. What does she like?"

"Oh, I have just the thing!" Tamaki said as he hurried off. He came back with a cute purple flower jewelry holder, "I know she's had her eyes on this little piece from the twins' section for a while. And it's the same price as the cupcake maker!"

"Okay, if you think she'll like it," said Haruhi.

"I'll just go get these rung up for you," said Tamaki.

"Do we get a friends' discount here too?" Haruhi asked.

"No, you get a former host discount, much more of a discount," Tamaki said as he walked off to a nearby checkout counter.

"Nice," said Haruhi.


"So, what did you think of the Host Club Store?" Haruhi asked as she drove Shibuia home.

"It was interesting," said Shibuia, "I actually wouldn't mind going there again."

"Maybe we can somehow," said Haruhi.

"Do you know the owner or something? I thought I saw you talking to him," said Shibuia.

"I may have known him in high school," said Haruhi.

"He's cute, I wish I knew him in high school," said Shibuia.

"You haven't even been to high school yet," said Haruhi with a chuckle.

"Still, a girl can dream," said Shibuia.

"Oh, I hope Hibine Kasanoda isn't too disappointed in that," Haruhi teased.

At that Shibuia blushed a little. "Do you think it could ever work out between the two of us?" she asked.

"That I don't know, considering that your father hates his father," said Haruhi as they finally arrived home and went through the whole procedure of getting to the front door.

"It's probably dinner time, go get ready," Haruhi advised as they walked in, Haruhi holding the two presents in her hand.

"Haruhi!" they both heard Bonbusheru call out, "Are you home? Did you remember to shop for the wedding presents?!"

"Yes, I did dear," Haruhi called back.

"Bring them here, I want to see them right away!" Bonbusheru ordered.

"Better go do what he says," said Haruhi as she walked over to his office, "Hi."

"What did you get, let me see!" Bonbusheru ordered eagerly.

"Okay," said Haruhi as she pulled them out. Bonbusheru frowned at the sight.

"What the hell are those?" he demanded to know.

"Oh, this is a cupcake maker and a jewelry holder," Haruhi started to explain, "You see I…,"

"Completely screwed up!" Bonbusheru finished her sentence. "I told you to get something manly and tough, something that would reflect the might of the Haninozuka family! How is a cupcake maker and jewelry holder mighty?!"

"Well, you see the thing is," Haruhi started to say.

"You're an idiot! God how did you ever become a lawyer!" Bonbusheru shouted as he paced his office in anger. Next thing Haruhi knew, he had snatched the two presents and smashed them to the ground, stomping them with his feet over and over again until they were beyond repair.

"Why can't you do anything right?! You think I like having such an air head for wife?! An air head that's so stupid she hasn't even gotten pregnant yet with my son!"

"I can't that help it if…," Haruhi tried to defend herself.

"Oh, here we go again, it's my fault you can't get pregnant! Why can't you ever take responsibilities for your actions?!" Bonbusheru shouted as he slapped her across the face, "Tomorrow, you and I are going out shopping and I am going to show you what a proper present for a Haninozuka is! Got it!" he slapped her again.

"Oh, and sure as hell better be prepared for tonight, for not only am I going to punish you some more, but you have better step up to try and accept my seed to make my son, understand!"

'No!' Haruhi thought sad.
