The main hall...
"Okay! Finally we're here!"Mikan exclaimed. Mikan and Hotaru stared at the two big doors of the main hall and Mikan's heart is beating so fast
(clears her throat)"Hotaru, here we go"Mikan pushed open the two doors then a gust of wind flew out of the door, with rose petals and they saw...
"Where are we?"Mikan asked herself with amazement because the main hall looks like...
"Alice in wonderland"Hotaru said as they saw a huge labyrinth made of rose bushes inside the main hall
"Really? I thought we're in Host club?Did we go to the wrong place?"Mikan thought
"Mikan!Great! You're here to visit us!"Tamaki exclaimed and approached Mikan and Hotaru
"Hi Tamaki-sempai! What is this? What are you wearing?"Mikan asked
"Well, since today is a very special occasion, we're cosplaying Alice in wonderland. I'm the Mad Hatter, so please, come in and join with us with some tea and sweets, shall we?"Tamaki took Mikan's hand and kissed it, which made Mikan blush
'Narcissist' Hotaru thought
"Oh, who is this pretty lady over here?"Tamaki looked at Hotaru and offered her a red rose
"It's okay, just keep it"Hotaru said to Tamaki and Tamaki didn't hesitate
"Oh! This is Hotaru! My best-est friend in the whole world!"Mikan was about to hug Hotaru but luckily, for Hotaru, she hit Mikan with a BAKA gun
"Oh, it's weird but this situation makes me feel nostalgic"Tamaki's spine tingled, then Kyouya approached them
"Hi Kyouya sempai!"Mikan greeted
"What a pleasant surprise, welcome to the host club Ms.Sakura"Kyouya bowed
"Awe schucks, you don't have to call me Miss, just call me Mikan okay?"Mikan blushed
"And who is this charming lady next to you Mikan?"Kyouya looked at Hotaru and Hotaru just stared at Kyouya
"Oh, this is my best friend!"Mikan exclaimed
"Hotaru Imai"Hotaru lend a hand to Kyouya for a handshake
'Oh, she's that kind of person' Kyouya thought "Nice to meet you, Ms. Imai, I'm Kyouya Ohtori"Kyouya took Hotaru's hand and they shook hands
"Come in, I think your friends are waiting for you inside"Tamaki said and lead the way to the center of the labyrinth.While walking inside the labyrinth, Tamaki and Mikan were non-stop laughing and chatting while Hotaru and Kyouya stays quiet behind Tamaki and Mikan. Then, finally, some of them tries to break the silence
"Hey! Come on, why is so quiet all of the sudden?"Tamaki and Mikan asked with smiles on their faces
"I don't feel like starting a new conversation"Hotaru and Kyouya replied
After a few walks away
"Are we there yet Tamaki sempai?"Mikan asked with exhaustion
"You don't have to ask that, my dear flower princess, we're here"Tamaki opens the gate and then Mikan's eyes widened
"Wow! So beautiful!"Mikan exclaimed
"Hey! Mikan! Hotaru! Over here!"Anna exclaimed while Nonoko is chatting with Mori
"Anna!"Mikan then quickly rushed to Anna's table, meanwhile, Tamaki suddenly rushed the other way since he saw the twins flirting with Haruhi again, meaning Kyouya and Hotaru were left alone, together
"Kyouya sempai, how come, you have to do cosplay?"Hotaru asked
"Well, it's the host club king's decision. And, by this way, I can think of action plans that could profit from Tamaki's crazy ideas"Kyouya replied
"But how? You're just dressing up according to the theme"Hotaru asked
"Well, our main priority in establishing this host club is to make these young ladies feel special and also, for us to gain profit. It's sort of like a monopoly game, don't you think?"Kyouya chuckled
"I see...so..can..can you...teach me some of your money-making strategies?"Hotaru asked
"I'll be delighted, Ms.Imai"Kyouya escorted Hotaru to a vacant table, then they started to talk about business related topics
Meanwhile, at Anna's table
"The main hall looks so beautiful! With the flowers, the sweets, and the glass roof, it's perfect!"Mikan said
"I know! And the best part of it is, I get to spend time with my beloved Hunny sempai! Like right now! He's sleeping, on my lap!"Anna said
"And Nonoko sure looks pretty happy, having a conversation with Mori sempai"Mikan said 'Now that I think of it, Anna and Nonoko were happy, spending their time with someone they love, how come, when I'm Natsume, all we do is argue with each other?And, he sometimes misunderstoods my point of view'
"Mikan, are you okay?"Anna asked with concern
"Oh, I'm okay, I'll just go to the buffet table"Mikan excused herself and instead of going to the buffet table, she went back to the labyrinth, but she doesn't know that someone was following her
Outside, at the Sakura tree...
Natsume was leaning again on the sakura tree, his favorite spot around while looking up at the clear blue sky
"Youichi, what did you find interesting in that girl?Kirimi I mean"Natsume asked
"Well, she reminds me of Mikan-sempai, since both of them has the same smile, the smile that gives a warm feeling, that makes me fell so calm and happy"Youichi explained
"Youichi"
"So, do you love her?"Natsume asked
"Yeah!"Youichi replied
"Just remember"
"That's good"Natsume said
"Did you say something Natsume sempai?"Youichi asked
"Don't you end up like me"
"Youichi, promise me something. Don't you end up having a life like mine. Like what your Mikan sempai said to me before, enjoy your life, okay?"Natsume said with a serious expression
"I promise, Natsume sempai"Youichi replied
"Natsume"a familiar voice called out Natsume's name
"Ruka, what are you doing here?"Natsume asked
"I knew you were coming here, this IS your favorite spot"Ruka said
"Whatever, why aren't you with the little girl and her crazy best friend?"Natsume asked
"Well, they went to the main hall, to visit the host club, I just separated myself from them"Ruka explained, then sat down next to Natsume
"Are you okay Natsume, you seem down lately"Ruka asked
"I'm fine"Natsume said
"Are you sure?"Ruka asked
"Yeah"Natsume said
