FINAL CHAPTER'S FINALLY HERE! Sorry for the heart attack I gave you guys in the previous chapter, I wanted to see your reaction and by god, that was awesome! I caught ya off guard didn't I? Heheh.. But good news is good, and bad is bad (for Kaoru).

Enjoy~~

Tamaki's eyes grew in size and he chokes as he heard her reply. Upon releasing her, he could see an exasperated smile on her face. Haruhi merely pats his shoulder and chuckled lightly, obvious to his sudden distress.

"You never let me finish, I'm staying...with all of you," she smiles out. The rest of the Host Club cried out in joy except for Mori and Kyouya who simply smiles at her answer. Haruhi then turns towards the bickering group and calls out to them. Renge and her group are thrilled to see Haruhi (or perhaps seeing her in a dress, who knows) while the Lobelia girls are somewhat horrified to see her standing next to the boys.

"Haruhi-chan, perhaps it's best for you to return home, we can handle things here," the girl said without breaking contact with Renge. To her surprise, Haruhi merely crushes her order to dust.

"No more fighting, all of you. I'm sorry girls, but I'm returning to Ouran where I really belong. This is an amazing place, it really is, but the atmosphere doesn't suit me so I'm returning with them," she said without missing a beat. The Ouran girls cheered happily while the Lobelia girls paled considerably. You can practically hear crickets singing behind them as Haruhi made her way home with the Hosts.

"Oh don't worry, I'll be continuing my role for the festival tomorrow, but that will be my last day here. I'll visit when I'm free though," she said with a smile. The Lobelia girls were struck by her words and couldn't form any coherent answer as they simply watch their beloved new Zuka Club member walking out of the gate with her friends as an ex-Lobelia student. From her perch on the second floor balcony and hiding behind a pillar, Miss Saki smiles in content as Haruhi's emotions and thought are no longer in turmoil.

"Such a pity," she said to herself, glasses glinting in the sun as she watches the girl disappears into a limo. "She'd make a wonderful asset to Lobelia's popularity with her great mind. Oh well, no point in crying over spilt milk, there are others to attract," with that, she returns to the shadows and made her way quietly towards the office where she needs to inform Ouran's chairman about the return of his prized commoner student.

"Haruhi, I thought you're going to give us a heart attack, we thought you were staying for good," Hikaru whines out as the limo speeds through the streets. All the members of the Host Club sans Kaoru are jittery in their seat as their natural type rejoins them in their ever so random conversation. Mori is smiling and ruffling the girl's hair while Kyouya scribbles away in his mysterious black notebook.

"Haru-chan, you have no idea how usa-chan and I worried. We didn't have decent sleep lately because we thought you'd abandon us for Lobelia," Hunny pouts as he clung to his stuffed rabbit doll tightly. Haruhi merely chuckles and pats the little blonde's head as she pulls him closer. Hunny squealed happily and threw himself across her lap.

"I'm sorry to have made all of you worried; I don't know what came over me when I followed Benio-senpai to Lobelia, I guess I just wasn't thinking straight. I think it's because I was too stressed out because of the infinite amount of homework and also Tamaki-senpai's antics. Really senpai, you should consider my feelings a bit more," she smiles out gently.

The boys went quiet and you could vaguely hear Kyouya's pen cracking from behind his book. Haruhi got a little surprised when she notices the sudden silence. All of their eyes, except Kyouya's which are hidden behind his glasses, grew into the size of dinner plates as Haruhi is still oblivious to the reason behind the sudden quietness.

"Did I say something to offend you?" she blinks out. The host notices their silence too and assures her that everything is fine. Although, Haruhi could still see the awkwardness in their facial expressions.

"Haru-chan, it's not like you to suddenly be nice to Tama-chan," Hunny voices out in wonder from his position on her lap. The rest of the hosts nod their heads while Haruhi looks a bit contemplating. Sure she's mostly denying the host king to cuddle her, dress her up, calls her his daughter and wanting to be a commoner, but that's because he was being annoying, and he's not being annoying now so Haruhi doesn't have the reason to be annoyed at him.

"He's not being annoying right now, so why shouldn't I be nice to him?" she said flatly that pierced right through Tamaki's heart. The blonde spluttered and fell limp in his seat while his friends ignore him. And then the girl jerks her thumb to Hikaru that caught the other boy off guard.

"It's the same with Hikaru; I'm always annoyed at him but only when he's pushing my buttons. When he's being quiet and not demanding or selfish, I'm fine with him. I can't say the same for Kaoru though; I'm only annoyed at him when he's being frisky. And I can never be annoyed at him when he's being himself," she said with a smile.

Hikaru's attention snaps to the girl and he leaps forward with an angry voice. "What do you mean by that? I told you didn't I? Kaoru and I are the same, I'm Kaoru and Kaoru's me, there are no differences!" he yelled out in a voice that even caught the moping Tamaki's attention. The atmosphere in the limo suddenly became thick and heavy as Haruhi and Hikaru has a staring match. One waiting for answers while the other contemplating on the answer.

"And I told you, you and Kaoru are different. You may have the same face and everything but you're not a single person, you're your own individual. There are no human on this planet being the exact same as another, it just doesn't apply to reality albeit it being twins or not," she said in a rather cold manner that she didn't even know she's using. Hikaru was taken aback by her words and felt his heart pierced by it.

"We've reached my house, thanks for giving me the lift guys; I'll see you at the festival tomorrow," she said as she steps out of the limo. As the driver cruises towards the Hitachiin mansion, Hikaru couldn't help but feel rather angry at the girl's words. Kaoru is him, he is Kaoru, there's no other way. And he was born to protect and save Kaoru, and no girl is going to get in the way of that.

Morning came and Lobelia is alive with music, laughter and fireworks. In one particular class, everything is buzzing with excitement and activity as the guests are being served by maids with beautiful dresses. One maid however, stands out the most in the crowd. Her black hair is let down and curled up at the tip with a diamond-encrusted ribbon in it. Her dress slightly shorter and standing out of the crowd the most.

It's none other than Kaoru who acts as the class' Queen Maid. The customers, who consist of mainly boys, practically drool at the boy. The girls are also staring at him as he swiftly hands over drinks and bring out the food to the customers. From the door, Hikaru and the rest of the remaining Host Club members watch intently as the younger Hitachiin goes through his business like it's natural for him.

"Young masters, welcome to La Maid Café, how many will there be?" a girl with black hair pulled into corkscrew twin tails bowed at them. Kyouya merely smiles at the hospitality, not really enthused at being in a commoner school but intrigued at these students actually know the etiquette.

"A table for five please," he replies smoothly. The young girl leads them to their table and they each find a seat for themselves. Hunny looks around with curiosity and wonder. To see a place decorated with so many fluffs, sweets, treats and practically covered with cuteness is new for him so he starts to jitter in his seat and Mori has to pin him down.

"Takashi, look at all these sweets and cake, can we eat them all?" he said enthusiastically. Hikaru was about to snap at him that they're just visiting to ensure that the Zuka Club and their fanatic group of girls doesn't touch Haruhi or Kaoru, when another maid, similar to the one who greeted them came over to their table to give them free sweets and menu.

"What an enthusiastic child, of course he can sample every sweet here if he wants to. And we can even pack some for you if you want," she said with a gentle nudge of her finger to Hunny's nose that made him giggle and his eyes shining brightly. Hikaru stares at her and she catches it with a stare of her own from those cat-like deep brown orbs of hers, and Hikaru suddenly felt a chill going down his spine.

"Just ring the bell there when you've made up your mind," she smiled gently. Her hair tied into a ponytail and quite wavy and a darker brown than the other girl. She bowed and went off to give the other customers their orders. Hikaru then slides over to Kyouya to whisper something in his ears.

"Do you think those two are siblings?" he asks. Kyouya looks up from his notebook to observe the two girls who seem to be laughing among themselves before paying attention to one of the customers. His dark eyes scrutinizing the one with the ponytail and was rewarded with a look from her that reminds him of the gaze he often gives. He then turns to Hikaru and shook his head.

"They're merely friends; I don't see any family-like physical traits on either of them. Their skin are quite pale but the one with the ponytail is paler, she's taller, her eyes are sharper, her hair's darker along with her eyes and her lips are thinner," he said with a sigh. Tamaki paid them no heed as he praises the girls who are now crowded around him. They squealed and giggle at every praise he gives off that he even attracts Kaoru's attention.

"What's going-...?" he then notices his friends and ushered the girls back to their posts. "I'm surprised to actually see all of you here," he said. Hikaru beams up at his brother and did some discreet ogling that caught the younger's attention. He blushed and covers his thighs with his hand and backs off a bit. "Hikaru! Stop staring at me," he hissed out.

The elder twin merely grins mischievously when he sees his flushed brother acting more and more like a girl. "Nothing I haven't seen dear brother," he said out with a teasing tone. Tamaki clearing his voice made his attention went to the blonde and was rewarded with a heavy glare. He simply shrugs and returns to staring at his brother. Kaoru doesn't appreciate the gaze and flicks his wig over his shoulder with a huff before turning away and walks off.

The Hosts was then given their food and finished it in no time at all. They waited a while before they decide that it's time for them to go to the auditorium to check on their commoner friend. Hikaru was about to call for his brother when he sees the group of boys surrounding said boy. The elder twin could feel his muscles tensing themselves and an aura leveling Kyouya's emanating from him.

"Kaori, it's best if you take a break for a while, we're heading off to the auditorium to check on Haruhi," Kyouya said as he adjusted his glasses. The cold look he gave the boys made them flinch and backs away from Kaoru. The younger Hitachiin felt a wave of relief and thanked Kyouya through his body language. The Shadow King merely replies with a smile and went off with the others. Hikaru stayed for a while, contemplating on what had just happened.

"Hikaru, cover your mouth least you want a fly or a gecko to get in," Kaoru chuckles as he changes from the maid dress into a white sleeveless Cheongsam that reaches high above his thighs and white ankle-high boots. He then adorns his head with a white head band that's decorated with pearls and white bangles one on each wrist. The white attire brings out his blue contacts beautifully and made his black wig stand out more, making him look like a maiden created from snow.

"Not like I can help it," the elder twin huffs out childishly as Kaoru brushes his wig. "Kyouya-senpai suddenly goes into protect mode over you, how can I not feel a little curious and suspicious?"

"Or perhaps, maybe you're also a tad bit jealous, eh Hikaru?" Kaoru chuckles out, amusement clearly written all over his face by seeing Hikaru getting so worked up over Kyouya's way of handling the boys. "Take it easy, Hikaru. Kyouya-senpai just handles things better than you. If you were the one taking care of those boys, there might be a fight in the class,"

Hikaru snaps his head to his brother when he heard that. "Oh? And what does that might mean little brother?" he closes the distance between him and his brother, effectively pinning the younger to the wall. "Are you saying you prefer Kyouya-senpai's way of handling things now? That I'm too much of a hot-head for you?" he growls out ferally, yet his grin never leaving his face.

"I'm not saying that, I'm merely saying you need to tone down your protective instincts over me a little. When you're on full brother mode, you can even knock down Godzilla itself, it's that bad. But I appreciate it nonetheless," Kaoru said whilst blinking adorably. Hikaru pulls his brother close to him and was about to nuzzle him when his phone rang. Upon checking, it was Kyouya, threatening them to get down to the auditorium in the coldest voice the twins had ever heard him use on any living being.

"It seems we're in a bit of a predicament," Kyouya mutters out. He and the rest of the Hosts are trapped in a circle of angry fangirls who are upset that they wanted to take Haruhi back to Ouran and out of the Zuka Club. Haruhi in the mean time is being subdued by Chizuru and Hinako while Benio is confronting the boys.

"The young maiden belongs here, not in a filthy place like Ouran!" she yells out that gathers all of her supporter's voice. The boys could only glare at her, feeling rather powerless to do anything. One girl managed to snatch Kaoru away from his brother's tight hold, pulling him into Benio's waiting arms. "And this beauty doesn't belong to you either!"

Hikaru is literally shaking with rage when he sees Kaoru's displeased face. He could just walk there and pulls Kaoru back into his arms and be done with it, but he knows that option is null. So instead of charging like a mad bull, he simply steps out from his group to go face-to-face with the Zuka Club leader.

"Think whatever you want of our club, but never mess with Ouran's good name! Haruhi specifically chose our school to be a lawyer like her mother; she didn't choose Lobelia because we have a higher standard than you! We've became friends, we're in the same club and we hang out together, we colored her world!" Hikaru shouts out that made the girls quite.

"Haru-chan's happy when she's with us! We play and have fun and eat sweets everyday, and she tells us when she's busy so we didn't interfere with her schedule!" Hunny cries from behind his cousin who simply nods and grunts with agreement. Kyouya didn't say anything; he merely sighs and pushes his glasses further up to conceal his eyes.

"Everyone please! Just settle down and stop fighting! Benio-senpai, don't be selfish on keeping Haruhi here, she clearly stated out yesterday that she's returning to Ouran," Kaoru screeches out from Benio's hold. He then pushes the girl away to stand next to his brother. The commotion of the auditorium caught a certain teacher's attention, a teacher named Osamu.

"What is going on here, why are you all fighting?" he shouts over the commotion. The girls and boys ceased their yelling to stare at the teacher. The man's dark eyes darted left and right to see if anyone was injured or there's a brawl going on, but on finding none, he calmed himself. He walks forward to disperse the group only to spot his beloved in Hikaru/Daichi's arms. The man's brow twitched a little but he controls himself from making a scene.

"Now, will someone tell me what happened?" he scolded. Both boys and girls seemed reluctant and hesitating whether to tell him the cause of the fight or not since they now realizes how silly it is. He turns from the girls to the boys and back to the girls. If this keeps up, the gusts would be suspicious and he'll be in trouble. Even the students above them are peeking out through the windows to see what's going on.

Kaoru, finally has had enough of this madness, pushes himself forward and demands for Haruhi in his most serious voice. His eyes sharpen to deadly slits that the girls actually listen to his demand and Benio brings out Haruhi from the paralyzed Chizuru's arms. Haruhi was then pulled over by Kaoru who whispers to her to stay still.

"Listen, and listen well, all of you!" Kaoru grounds out harshly that made some of the girls whimper. Hikaru is at absolute shock, he's never heard his brother this strict and angry before. Kaoru rarely gets angry, and normally it's over Tamaki or in their little fake fights. But to see Kaoru looking like he's about to murder someone is completely new to him.

"Haruhi is returning to Ouran, all the paperwork and procedures have been done and filed, she's no longer a student of this school, as do I!" there were several gasps and murmurs of surprise when Kaoru said that. The Hitachiin could see Osamu's eyes widen at the revelation. Kaoru bows his head and pulls Hikaru out and took out his brother's wig. There were shrieks as the girls quickly recognize one of the Hitachiin twins.

"This is Hitachiin Hikaru, my older twin brother. And I suppose you know his younger brother is Kaoru, which is..." Kaoru then proceeds to pull out his wig and took out his contact lenses to reveal his true amber-colored eyes. "Me,"

Some girls fainted at the notion, to see their most beautiful student is actually a boy. Even Osamu couldn't speak or move because of the huge shock. Benio too couldn't believe her eyes, to see a boy roaming around the school and not realizing it. The shock was too big that she passed out cold and her fans are in a tizzy to wake her up.

"I'm sorry about the lie, but I'm merely here to convince Haruhi to return to Ouran because she's making a mistake to come here in her anger-induced state. I would've succeeded earlier if it wasn't a certain someone blocking me at every corner," he said whilst glaring at Osamu. Kaoru huffs and ushered his friends away towards the limo where they will be leaving Lobelia for good.

Kaoru was just about to enter when his hand was yanked away and he fell into a pair of strong arms. Upon looking up, he could see Osamu's dark eyes staring at him with that flirty glint which cause the younger twin to shiver in fear.

"It doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl. Your beauty is renowned that I couldn't look away anymore," he breathes out seductively at Kaoru's ears.

"Wait, you're saying you're gay or something?" Kaoru screeches out. Osamu shook his head that made Kaoru even more confused. From inside the limo, he could see Hikaru seething with rage and everyone else staring with wonder, mainly Hunny.

"No, but like I said, your beauty is one of a kind that I don't care if you're a boy or a girl. I love you, Kaoru, and I will obtain you if it's the last thing I do," he said and licked the Hitachiin's earlobe. Kaoru paled considerably and a cry of pure terror rang through the air.

I've done it! The rest of it is a whole different story altogether. What will happen to our poor little Kaoru? Stay tuned for a new story submitted by moi. Oh, I'll be keeping Rena, Airi and Hana in the new story that would PROBABLY be up in two weeks time. I have midterms to worry so...ya'll understand right?

Just because I'm Asian, doesn't mean I'm a genius.

I shall see ya'll in the new story that I will name it 'Escape from Insanity'! See you guys soon. Hopefully I don't die from over-exhaustion first. Add math is not easy and is a total crap.
