"Too bland…" the girl with dark brown eyes tasted the chocolate.

"Madam, might I suggest you let the chef prepare your chocolate?" the butler, who had been with her family for decades, suggested.

"No!" she whined. "I heard that commoners can't afford a chef, so they make it themselves." She smiled at the chocolate batter. "My beloved is a commoner, so he'll appreciate the work I put into this."

"Very well, Madam." He bowed and left the kitchen.

"I'll make the best chocolate you've ever tasted." She chuckled evilly. "And then you'll fall right into my arms!" she smiled dreamily, not noticing the timer go off, not until the smoke started filling up the room. "Oh no!" she ran to the oven and pulled out the chocolate. "It's ruined now!" she looked at the burnt globs of chocolate.

"Are you supposed to put chocolate in the oven?" a maid asked, after seeing the fiasco.

The other maid shrugged. "She'll figure it out, she always does."


"Valentine's?" Yuki tilted her head.

"Yes, it's the most romantic day of the year." Tamaki said with a flourish. "And I managed to convince Kyoya to let the Host Club participate in this wonderful day!"

"If it's romantic, then I can't imagine the Host Club not participating…" she mumbled.

"Chocolate!" he smiled. "Do you think Haruhi will give me any?"

Yuki shrugged. "Maybe, but remember, everyone thinks she's a boy." She leaned forward in her sitting position on the counter. "Wouldn't it be weird if she were to give you chocolates?" she closed her eyes in thought. "They'd make up stories like they did when I first came here." She thought back to the 'Tamaki's lover' incident.

"She'd have to do it in private then." He nodded confidently, imagining Haruhi in a dress, bashfully handing him a box of chocolates, no one else around, just them. He got a dreamy look that Yuki's next words snapped him out of.

"And what makes you so sure she'll give you chocolates?" she asked, meaning no harm.

"O-Obligatory…" he stammered. "You'll do it too, right?"

"Obligatory?" she frowned again. "Then wouldn't Haru-chan give some to all the Host Club?"

Tamaki froze. "W-Well, yeah…I guess." He averted his eyes. "But that doesn't matter."

"Then what does?" she asked.

"We'll be holding a formal event!" he declared.

"Another ball?" she exclaimed in disbelief.

"Not a ball, a simple party." He shrugged. "That only the Club can attend."

"So," she drew out. "Just a Valentine's party?"

"Yes." He grinned proudly.

"Wouldn't that disappoint the customers?"

He faltered, that would disappoint a lot of people…but he really wanted to see Haruhi in a dress. "Separate then…" he suggested.

"I don't know…that seems like a lot of effort…" she whined.

"You're lazy." He glared at her.

"I'm not lazy, the world's just too energetic…" she shrugged. "Honestly…" she grumbled.

Tamaki resisted rolling his eyes. "I'll go call Kyoya."

"Tell him I said 'hi'!" she grinned as he walked out of the room.

She hopped off the counter and grabbed the bag of cookies. "Miss Yuki," Shima's voice made Yuki jump. "I recommend you don't eat those, they'll spoil your appetite."

"Yes ma'am…" she sweat-dropped and pulled her hand out of the bag.

She turned around and saw Shima exit the room. She sighed and put the bag into the cupboard.

Yuki looked around, already bored. Maybe if she went out, something might occur, it tends to if you wait long enough.

She grabbed a black trench coat and started to the door.

"Are you going out?" a maid asked her.

"Yes." She nodded happily.

"Be careful, I heard there was a prowler out lately." She said with fear filled eyes.

"What, are you kidding me?" another maid looked scared.

"I know I'm not walking home tonight." The first maid shook her head.

"I think I'll be alright." Yuki smiled and started to the door, only to stop suddenly and grab some mace. "Just in case…" she mumbled and walked out the door.

She sighed and watched her breath come out in little white puffs. She giggled and buried her face deeper in her scarf, she always like the cold.

She looked up at the star filled sky and smiled. "I'll make some chocolates this year…" she grinned. "That sounds fun!" she hopped over a small branch that was on the sidewalk. But her feet never touched the ground when a pair of hand came out and grabbed her.


Natsumi was grumbling as she walked to the store. Her parents told her she used too much ingredients and they weren't going to make the servants go get more.

"Those were practice chocolates, so they shouldn't count." She sighed and frowned. Then she heard some noise, like muffled voices.

She paused and looked in the direction they were coming from, and then shook her head. "It-it's nothing…" she told herself. "I'm just scaring myself." A gust of wind blew her scarf in the direction. She sighed wearily. "Fine…" she slowly crept into the narrow alleyway. She brought her hands up to her chest and clutched her necklace nervously.

A cat hissed, causing Natsumi to jump. "Oh, it's just a kitty." She extended her hand to it. "Hi there, are you a stray?" the cat jumped of the brick wall. "O-Oi!" she ran to the other side of the wall and nearly fainted when she saw a man holding a familiar blonde girl.

There were two options; leave it alone, or go and confront them. She looked around nervously, seeing if somebody else might come along and save her. She sighed. "I guess it's up to me…" She looked back at the blonde girl; she was kicking and being half-dragged by the man.

"Shut up!" he growled, his hand over her mouth.

Natsumi's eyes widened and she looked around for something to use as a weapon. Yuki bit into the man's hand, causing him to yelp and release her momentarily. She tried to scurry away, but he gripped her hair and was about to knock her out…when he was suddenly hit on the head with a purse, conveniently filled with rocks.

Yuki looked up with wide eyes to see a panicked looking Natsumi.

Natsumi slowly dropped the heavy purse, she was lucky there were rocks around. She slid down to her knees when her legs started to give out. Her heart was racings and her breath came out in pants.

And they sat there in silence, the unconscious man lying beside them. Then it clicked for Natsumi that he might wake up.

"W-We have to go!" she grabbed Yuki's hand and pulled her up; they started walked briskly to the police station.

"You saved me…" Yuki said.

Natsumi glanced at her, noticing now that Yuki's hair was messy, her cheeks were red from the cold and excitement, and her eyes were huge and filled with fear.

Natsumi stopped and let go of Yuki's hand. "Hmph," she crossed her arms. "It's not like I want a guilty conscience, besides, my beloved would be sad if anything happened to you." She looked away from those piercing green eyes.

"Thank you, Na-chan…" Yuki gave a toothy grin.

"'N-Na-chan'?" she took a step back. "Now listen here, we're rivals!" she pointed an accusing finger at her. "We're not friends."

But Yuki didn't seem fazed; she kept the warm smile on. Natsumi kept walking; the police station wasn't that far, they'd be there in a few minutes.

Yuki looked around, it was pretty dark, and Tamaki would be worried about her by now. And just like magic, her phone rang. She took it out, not noticing the annoyed look Natsumi was giving her.

"Hello?" she asked, managing to keep her voice steady, even though she could feel the lump in her throat and tears stinging her eyes.

"Yuki, where are you?" Tamaki asked with a worried voice.

"Umm…" she looked around for some kind of landmark. "Somewhere by a police station…"

"W-Wait, what?" she could almost hear him frown. "Why are you at a police station?"

"Well, I'm not there yet…" she laughed, trying to cover up the fact that her voice was starting to shake. "I'm a few blocks from it."

"Then…why are you going…" he asked more carefully. "Did you do something?"

"No," she swallowed the lump. "I'll be home in a bit, can I call you back?" She heard him protest but hung up and put the phone in her pocket. She covered her mouth to stifle her sobs, she was scared. Her legs felt like jelly and she wasn't sure she could get to the police station. She was stupid, to come out even after hearing the maid's warning, she wasn't sure what she was thinking.

"We're here." Natsumi stopped in front of the building. "So…are you okay if I go?"

Yuki nodded with a smile. She didn't want to be alone, but she didn't want to impose on Natsumi anymore than she already had "I'm fine."

Natsumi saw the tears tracks on Yuki's cheeks and sighed. If something like that had happened to her, she'd want someone to stay with her. "Go on," she lightly pushed Yuki inside. "I'll be right here." She sat down on the bench.

Yuki stared at her with curious eyes. Natsumi looked away in embarrassment and willed her blush to go away. "Thank you." Yuki smiled and went inside.


"Are you okay?" Tamaki inspected her carefully.

"I'm okay, I'm okay!" she swatted him away. "I wasn't hurt." She smiled. "Thanks to Na-chan."

"Na-chan?" Tamaki looked behind the blonde girl and saw another first year, fidgeting nervously at the entrance of the large house. "Oh, I know you!" he smiled at her. "Thank you, Na-chan!" he held her hand

"Not you too!" she exclaimed. "Stop with the 'Na-chan'!" she pouted. "I heard you two were living together, but I didn't believe the rumors." She looked around. "Not until now, at least."

"It's a temporary situation." Yuki smiled at her. "My father's out of the country, so I'm living with the Suoh family, since I've known them since I was a toddler."

"Ah," she nodded. "I suppose I should be leaving now." She started to the door.

"If there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask." Tamaki opened the door for her. "As a thank you."

She thought about it. "Then tell me, does Haruhi-kun like chocolates?"

Yuki and Tamaki exchanged glances. "I-I don't think he dislikes them…" Tamaki said. Natsumi paid no mind to the emphasis on 'he'.

"The one more thing." She winked mischievously. "Is the Host Club accepting chocolates this Valentine's?"

"Yes, we are." Tamaki smiled. "I'll have a car drive you back."

"Thanks." She walked out, followed by a chauffeur.

Tamaki closed the door, only to look back at Yuki. "You look exhausted." He said.

"You know, I wanted something exciting to happen when I went for that walk." She started to the stairs. "I guess I got my wish."

"Was the man caught?" Tamaki asked.

"Yes, the police found him still unconscious." She smirked and continued up the stairs

Tamaki sighed. He was glad the man was found now; otherwise he would have had a very willing Kyoya dispatch a large number of his police force.


"That bastard!" Kaoru hit the table with his fist.

Haruhi put a comforting hand on Yuki's shoulder.

"This is why I didn't want to tell them…" Yuki sighed wearily; she looked back at the twins, they looked livid, almost like they were spitting fire.

"When I get my hand on him...!" Hikaru was strangling air.

"Are you okay, Yu-chan?" Honey looked concerned.

"I'm fine, Honey-sempai, nothing happened." She smiled reassuringly, they were overreacting a bit; even Mori had patted her head comfortingly.

Kyoya looked calm and collected like normal, but she caught a glance at what he was typing on his computer, he was using his connections to make sure the guy got the maximum punishment.

"Here, have some cake!" Honey handed her a plate with a slice of cake.

"Thanks." She smiled and took a bite, it was delicious as always. "But really, I'm okay." She told the twins.

"You could have gotten hurt!" Kaoru said worriedly.

"It could have been worse!" Hikaru leaned towards her.

"I can't imagine!" they cried in unison, ever the drama queens.

"They are right though." Haruhi sat by Yuki. "It could have been worse, that's why they're all so hyper."

"But it wasn't worse." She smirked. "Tama-chan even made me see a doctor."

"What if you had gotten a sprain or something and you hadn't noticed because of the adrenaline?" Tamaki defended himself.

"The adrenaline had long since worn off by the time I got back…" she frowned.

"It's time for class, are you sure you should have come to school?" Haruhi asked.

"We'll carry you!" the twins picked her up together, ignoring her shouts of protest.

"Why do you need to carry her?" Haruhi asked.

"In case she falls." They said simply and started down the hallways, the odd looks flew over their heads.

"We're being stared at!" Yuki pushed Hikaru's cheek.

"Then stop making a scene." He said.

"You're the one making a scene!" she thrashed around.

"We aren't the ones flailing around." Kaoru said.

"I'm going to fall!" she hit Kaoru's head.

"Ow!" he cried. "What was that for?"

"Put me down!" she grabbed both their ears until they set her down. "Thank you!" she huffed and walked away, leaving both twins rubbing their red ears.

She walked into the classroom, smiling at Natsumi as she passed by her desk.

"Did…did Kaga Yuki just smile at you?" Natsumi's friend asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Natsumi cradled her chin in her hand.

"What happened to 'we're rivals'?" she raised an eyebrow.

"We are." She ground out. "She just doesn't see me as a threat, I guess."

Her friend sucked air in through her teeth. "Ouch." She shook her head. "But you know, she does have that whole French thing going for her."

"She's a frickin' French model!" Natsumi exclaimed. "How am I supposed to compare to that."

Her friend made a face that told Natsumi she couldn't compare to that. "You'll be okay…" she patted Natsumi's back.

Natsumi glared at her, and then looked back at Yuki. She wasn't going to resort to bad gossip, hoping it circles back to the Host Club like the other girls, no, she had more class than that, and that's exactly what she was going to show her beloved Haruhi.

Her eyes were drawn to the twin when they came stumbling in. "Yuki!" they shouted in unison. "Haruhi's being mean!"

They clung to her as Haruhi walked in. "What did mean Haru-chan do?" she pouted.

Haruhi growled and hit Hikaru on the head with her bag. "I told you to shut up!"

Now all three of them were cowering in the corner, huddled together. "Haru-chan's scary!" Yuki stuck out her bottom lip.

Haruhi sighed and calmed down. "Class is starting, get out of the corner." She motioned for them to get up.

Natsumi watched them, hating the twins for aggravating her beloved, but also watching as one twin purposely avoided helping Yuki up so the other had to. "Oh ho?" she raised an eyebrow. "Maybe I won't have to compare to her…"

"Oh no…" her friend sighed, realizing a Natsumi plan was bubbling up.

"Oh yes." She laughed evilly.


Yuki was chuckling in the corner of Music Room 3#, she was reading the poem that Tamaki wrote, and Hikaru and Kaoru were behind her covering their mouths to stifle their laughter since Tamaki was looking at them with hopeful eyes.

"Are you showing this to all the guests?" Kaoru asked with a shaky voice.

"Yes." Tamaki smiled. "Beautifully written, no?"

"I-It's something, Tama-chan." Yuki gave a weary smile.

"We're not showing that to the guests." Kyoya said from behind them.

Tamaki's face made Yuki's heart clench. "It's okay, Tama-chan." She patted his back as he curled up in his corner of woe. She sent a glare to Kyoya. "I know you worked hard on it."

Hikaru accidently let a small laugh escape and Tamaki wailed and threw himself at Haruhi.

"Sempai, knock it off!" she tried to pry him off but he wouldn't budge, she sighed and pointed at the door. "Yuki, Hiro's here to see you."

Kaoru's smile was immediately wiped off his face as Yuki jumped up and went to the door.

"Hey," Hiro smiled when he saw her. "Are you doing anything tomorrow?" he asked.

"Well…" she was about to say how the Host Club was doing a party, but Kaoru interrupted her.

"On Valentine's, isn't that a little bold?" he gave a tight smile.

"Oh, tomorrow's Valentine's Day?" Hiro returned the smile sarcastically. "I had no idea."

"Yeah, she's not available, we're having a private party." He was about to slam the door, but Hiro's foot prevented that.

"I'll accept that, if she's the one to say it."

They both looked at her and she flinched. "U-Umm…" she looked at Kaoru, then back at Hiro. "I can meet up with you after the party." She tilted her head, wondering if that's what they wanted her to say, from Kaoru's face it wasn't, but from Hiro's victorious face it was…she was confused. "Okay?" she raised an eyebrow, but she was ignored while the two boys glared at each other

"Well, you got your answer." Kaoru said tightly as Hiro gave a smug smirk.

"Indeed I have…" he said smugly.

Kaoru ground his teeth. "You can go now." He made a 'shoo' motion with his hand.

Hiro nodded and took a large breath, enjoying this victory. "Yes, I believe I will." He nodded again with a smirk that Kaoru wanted to slap off of his stupid face. He finally turned around with a satisfied hum.

Hikaru came up to him and made a face.

"What?" Kaoru sighed.

"Nothing…" he looked away.


"Happy Valentine's Day, Hikaru-kun!" A brown haired girl offered a bag of chocolates to the ginger, only it wasn't the right one.

He smiled silently and reached for the bag, but Yuki interrupted them. "But that's Kaoru…" she said innocently.

The girl looked at Yuki, than back at Kaoru with tear filled eyes. "I-I'm so sorry!" she cried and ran away.

"She's so sensitive…" Yuki mumbled as she watched the girl run.

"Yuki…" Kaoru sighed. "You can't correct the customers, even if they're wrong."

"Why not?" she pouted, not used to being scolded by either twin.

"E-Excuse me." A girl with black hair walked up to them nervously. "Y-You're Kaoru?" she looked at him, completely ignoring Yuki.

"Yes, that's right." He smiled.

"Here," she extended her hand and in it was a heart shaped box of chocolates. "Please accept this."

"Thank you." He smiled wider, but before he could say anything else, the girl squealed in excitement and ran off.

Yuki watched him smile at the box the girl had just given him and ignored the painful feeling in her chest. "Does receiving chocolates really make people happy?" she asked him.

"Yeah, why?" he looked back at her.

"Even if they're obligatory?" she recalled her conversation with Tamaki.

"I suppose why…" he looked back at the bag in his hand for a moment, then looked back at Yuki. "Why?" he gave a toothy grin. "Are you planning on giving me chocolates?" he looked positively elated at the thought.

"Yeah, Tama-chan said I should." She answered, confused at his happiness. "Do you want some?"

He blinked and looked away with a blush. "Y-Yeah, do what you want."

She smiled and he felt his heart skip a beat. "Then I will."

He fought back the goofy grin that was attempting to show on his face and settled for a wry smirk. "Okay then."

She nodded contently and turned to walk away. "See you in class, Kaoru!" she said over her shoulder.

He watched her go, and as soon as he was sure she was gone, he put the bag in his pocket with one hand and the other went up to his face to cover up the smile. His heart was beating too fast for such a simple thing as obligatory chocolates…what was going on with him?

He wasn't aware of the brown eyes on him, Natsumi was watching from around the corner of the hallways, she saw everything. She grinned at Kaoru's reaction; this could be good news for her.

"Cute, isn't it?" said a voice behind her, she bit back a scream as she jumped. She turned around only to come face to face with a smirking Hikaru.

"W-What do you mean?" she asked, cursing herself for stammering.

He nodded to his twin. "She can tell us apart, and she makes him do that." She looked back at Kaoru and sweat-dropped when she saw him banging his head against the wall.

"What is he doing?" she asked.

Hikaru shrugged. "Being an oblivious idiot it seems." Then he rolled his eyes. "There seems to be no shortage of those…"

She looked back at Hikaru. "Do they like each other?"

Hikaru shrugged again. "Who knows?" then he stepped out into the hallway and walked up to Kaoru. "Hey." He said, smirking when Kaoru jumped, he seemed to be having that effect on people today.

"Hey…" he calmed down when he saw who it was.

"You okay?" he pointed at the red mark on Kaoru's forehead from where he had hit his head.

Kaoru's hand went up to it unconsciously. "Yeah, I'm fine…" he looked away. "Should we get to class?"

"Yah, we don't have the next one with Yuki, right?" he smirked again secretly when he saw his twin flinch.

"No, I guess not." He murmured.

Natsumi watched their backs as they walked away, there was obviously something going on with the French girl and the younger twin, she had to use this to her advantage.

"Natsumi!" her friend called her. "Class is starting!"

"Right!" she started walking to her next class, she'd have to think of a plan…


"Happy Valentine's Day!" Yuki jumped onto Tamaki's bed. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!" she shook the lump of covers.

He groaned and sat up, his eyes barely open and his hair messed up. "Yuki?" he mumbled drowsily. "What time is it?"

"Hmm…" she looked at the clock on the nightstand. "Four."

"What?" he jumped up, fully awake. "How could I sleep so late?" he panicked. "What about school?" then he looked out the window, seeing it was still dark out. "Yuki…it's four A.M." he squinted at her. "Why are you up so early?"

"I'm making chocolates." She smiled.

"But…why wake me up?" he tilted his head.

"I wanted you to try some!" she held out a piece of chocolate as Tamaki looked at her in disbelief.

He sighed and popped the chocolate in his mouth, then his eyes widened. "It's good!" he exclaimed.

She laughed happily, but he had a feeling it was more because she wasn't thinking right in her tired state. "Isn't it?"

"But what made you get up so early?" he yawned.

"I couldn't sleep…" she smiled drowsily. "So I made everybody some chocolate."

"E-Everybody?" His eyes widened. She hummed and slowly started falling down on his bed. "Ah!" he jumped. "Yuki?" She was already sleeping, smiling goofily. He sighed and moved the piece of hair out of her mouth. "We're not kids anymore, you can't sleep in here." He pushed her gently but she didn't stir.

He sighed, and picked her up, her head rolled onto his shoulder. He walked out the door and into her room; he gently set her down on her bed and walked back out.

He wasn't tired anymore so he decided to go and drink some tea, but when he got to the kitchen, he was greeted by a large amount of chocolates, and a huge mess of batter.

"Yuki…" he sighed but smiled fondly. The maids will clean this up, but Yuki would probably get upset if all her chocolates were thrown away by the maids. So Tamaki put them all in the little bags she already had out. "Everyone will love them." he said as if she was there, he yawned and started back to his room.


Hiro was getting dressed, trying to keep the smile off his face; Yuki had agreed to go out with him tonight…of course, she probably doesn't think it's a date. "But a guy can dream, can't he?" he said aloud.

"He can." Familiar voice…Hiro narrowed his eyes at the person in the door.

"What do you want?" he sighed and put on his school jacket.

"What dream?" Kazukiyo leaned against the door frame.

"Tch." Hiro turned away with a blush. "It's nothing that concerns you." He started to the door and brushed past his brother.

"Is it Yuki-san?" he asked. "You like her don't you?" he smiled affectionately. "She's good for you…"

Hiro blushed again and stormed off, leaving Kazukiyo smiling at Hiro's behavior.
