Chapter 14 – Covering the Famous Host Club!

"Mr President, our circulation has dropped into single digits."

"Just give me the numbers please. How many newspapers did we sell this week?" One of the articles was about an alien city being discovered in Ouran Elementary.

"Two copies," the boy on the right said as he and the one on the left each help up two fingers.

"That's all?" the president asked.

"Yes sir."

"Ukyo, did you buy a newspaper?"

"I did sir," he said as he pulled out a copy from his blazer.

"And Sakyo, what about you?"

"Of course," he responded, pulling out a copy.

"So you're saying, no one from outside the newspaper club bought one?"

"Well, yes," Ukyo said. "Unfortunately, the does seem to be the case, sir."

"This is quite a predicament. Next week's addition will be the last one for the semester. We don't come up with better results before the summer vacation, the club will be shut down before the end of the school year." He stood up and walked to the window. "Oh, by the way, how's that other club doing?"

"Well sir," the two said as they pulled out copies.

"The collection 'I Love Love Love Tamaki Special' sold out as soon as it went on sale. All one thousand copies," Ukyo said.

"'Moe-Moe Ouran Diaries Volume 8', published by Renge Hoshakuji, also sold out as soon as it went on sale. It's already in its second printing."

"…I should have known. There's the ones who have the most power here at Ouran."

…

The giant white doors opened to revel the Ouran Host Club, dressed up in traditional Japanese clothing.

"Welcome back ladies and gentlemen," they all said.

…

"But we can't do this Tamaki. There are so many girls who love you and if we get any closer, I'm afraid that they're all going to hate me for it." Tamaki then pulled her closer.

"Princess," he whispered. "These beautiful hydrangeas will keep us hidden from the others. You don't need to worry." He then turned her around so the two were facing each other. "For this moment, I belong to no one but you. The spirts of the hydrangeas will keep our rendezvous a secret."

"Oh Tamaki, I yearn to be with you!"

"Princess…"

"Oh my!"

…

Kaoru picked up two shell pieces and pushed them together. No matter how hard he tried, they wouldn't connect together.

"Sorry Kaoru," the girls chorused.

"No way. I lost again," he said and the girls giggled.

"Now go easy on him princesses," Hikaru said. "Kaoru is quite the cry-baby."

"Hikaru! That is not true! I'm not a cry-baby!"

"Oh, so you're gonna deny it huh?" he asked with a smirk as he grabbed Kaoru's chin. "What about when the two of us are alone playing punishment games? Tell us what happens then Kaoru."

"Well, that's because you…" He cut himself off as Kaoru lifted his head up, causing the girls to scream out, blushing madly.

…

"It's your turn Rin," Ren called as he kicked the ball to her. She giggled happily as she stopped it with her foot. She then kicked it until the air and tried to keep it in the air. The other boys came to join in, making sure she didn't drop it.

"Wow, you're really good at this Rin-chan," the boy said.

"Really? You think so?" she asked as she caught it in her hands.

"Yeah," the three boys said together.

"Oh, you guys are too sweet," she said as she smiled. She went up to the first boy and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed madly as the other boys sighed.

"Man, you are so lucky," the other two said.

…

Ren was watching the scene in front of him, slightly glaring. "What's the matter Ren-kun?" one of the girls asked.

"Uh, n-nothing. I-I'm just a bit o-overprotective over my l-little sister. T-That's all," he stuttered, blushing.

"Awww! That is so cute!" the second girl said.

"I wish someone could worry about me like that," the third said.

"I-I'm sure you'll f-find someone like that one day. You're all v-very pretty girls. Y-You should have no problem." The girls had huge smiles on their faces, blushing and squealing.

…

"Wow, I never noticed the courtyard had such a lovely stream."

"It's called the Yarimizu Channel," Kyoya said. "It is said that during the Heian Era, people would better experience the seasons by watching the petals or autumn leaves that drifted along the water. I had it specially made for all of you, hoping it would express my desire to spend all four seasons with you.

"So then, what do you say ladies?" he asked as he pulled out a book which he had labelled for reservations. "This fall, there's an autumn leaves tea party with a limited amount of invitations."

"Oh! Sign me up!" the three girls said.

…

"Now watch as we work together to eat soba!" Honey-senpai said.

Mori-senpai was hidden behind him, using his arms instead of Honey-senpai's. Somehow, Mori-senpai, without seeing, grabbed onto a piece of soba and lifted it out of the bowel. Sadly though, he missed Honey-senpai's mouth and hit him in the cheek with the chopsticks. Honey-senpai cried out in pain.

"Awww, he's so cute!" the girls gushed as they covered their reddened cheeks with their hands.

…

It's so peaceful, Haruhi thought as she stood by herself. I guess I'm finally getting used to this. Took me long enough. It's been this way since I've started school here.

"Haruhi! Duck!" Tamaki called out as he ran towards her. She turned around and saw a Kamari ball flying towards her. She screamed as Tamaki grabbed her and pushed them both to the ground, the ball barley missing them. "Hikaru! You came this close to snuffing out the light of Haruhi's life!" Tamaki screamed out as he stood up. He didn't realise though that he was crushing Haruhi in the process.
So much for it being peaceful.

"Hey, it's your fault for not catching the ball in the first place boss," Hikaru said.

"Yeah, who knew you'd be so bad at Kamari?" Kaoru asked. "So much for him being the Genji of Ouran Academy."

"WHAT!" Tamaki screamed out.

…

"YOU WANT TO SAY THAT TO MY FACE YOU PERVERTED PUNKS?" They could hear Tamaki scream from outside.

"If we want the newspaper club to survive, I'm afraid we're gonna have to ask them for help," the president said.

"So what? We're not afraid to say it to your face."

"No Mr President. It's too dangerous to get involved with those guys," Ukyo said.

"DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!"

"Tamaki, calm down. You're killing Haruhi."

"He's right," Sakyo said.

"We're just saying the truth here."

"Not only could the club get shut down but you could get expelled."

…

"You think so? Well check this out! STARLIGHT, KICK!" Tamaki shouted as he kicked the ball as hard as he could.

"WHAT?" Hikaru yelled.

"SO FAST!" Kaoru exclaimed.

"HOW THE HELL?" Rin cried. The ball then soared straight over their heads and all the way to the other building.

"Take care of yourself!" the twins called out to the ball as it flew away. Rin sighed with relief as Tamaki gasped.

"It might be fast, but you have no control," Rin smirked. Tamaki sighed as he went into the corner, depressed.

…

"Calm down, there's nothing to worry about," the president said as he adjusted his glasses. "We have no choice but to ask them for help. However, that doesn't mean I'll fall victim to their-" The ball smashed through the window and struck him in the back of the head, causing him to fall unconscious.

"President!" the two called out.

…

"We're terribly sorry about that," Tamaki said as he bowed his head. Haruhi, Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai were cleaning the broken glass on the floor. The twins and Rin were reading one of their newspapers and Kyoya and Ren stood in front of their desk.

"It's no big deal," the president said. "Could have happened to anyone. Just a ball flying through a window and hitting me upside the head."

"Please, accept our apology," Tamaki said again.

"Well, this works out perfectly. I was just thinking about approaching the host club about a cover story. I don't suppose you'd be interested?"

"I didn't know we had a newspaper club," Haruhi said.

"It's more gossip rag than newspaper," Hikaru said.

"Yeah, like a trashy tabloid," Kaoru said. "It's filled with stories about scandalous love affairs, family power struggles and junk like that."

"It's just a lame gossip rag that specializes in stirring up scandal," Hikaru said.

"And everyone knows it's all lies so nobody reads it anymore," they said in unison.

"No wonder people don't buy it," Rin said.

"It just seems petty," Ren said.

"You know, I guess we kinda have lost sight of the truth because we've been so worried about drawing in more readers. It's a shame we're just realising our error. Now that the paper is at risk." Tamaki gasped. "We finally realised what we should have been reporting to the students of Ouran." The three stood up and bowed. "Help us please. For our last paper for the semester, we'd like to do an up close special edition, revealing the charms of Ouran's Host Club members. I'm begging you. Without your help, our club will close."

"You can count on us," Tamaki said. "On behalf of the Host Club, I-" He screamed out as Kyoya pushed him out of the way.

"Have to decline," Kyoya said.

"But Kyoya! He got hurt because of me! What's the big deal?!"

"Sorry, we have a policy prohibiting us from sharing any personal information with anyone other than our guests."

"So they want to do a story on us? What's the problem? HUH? You don't get to make the decisions! I'm the boss! ME! ME!"

"But we'd be more than happy to pay any medical expenses related to your injury."

"And another thing, what makes you think we want to help you spread more rumours and gossip?" Kaoru asked. "We've got a reputation to uphold and you'd just ruin it."

"Besides, you guys cause a lot of trouble for other people. And who'd want to get mixed up in that?" Hikaru asked.

It's scary how much they don't realise about themselves.

"I mean, I already have enough rumours being spread about me. I don't need ones being spread about my personal life from the newspaper club," Rin said and Ren nodded.

"I understand," the president said as he sat down. "Well, I guess you really can't erase the sins of the past, can you? People won't even give you the opportunity to try and redeem yourself. AH! My head is killing me!" He slammed his head against the desk.

"President!" the other two called as they rushed over to him.

"I'm okay. Don't worry you two. OH NO! I'm getting dizzy!"

"President!"

"No wait, I'm fine. AHHH!"

"President!"

"It's way too obvious," Ren muttered.

"They're begging for sympathy," Rin mumbled.

"I guess all we can do at this point is disband with grace!"

"No! You don't have to!" Tamaki said. "You can always make a fresh start! We will help! We will rally up the power of our host club! And we can re-establish the newspaper club together!"

"Well, count us out," the twins said.

"You're way too trusting boss," Hikaru said. "We can't just go along with everything you do forever."

"Yeah, we've had enough," Kaoru said. Haruhi was being dragged away. Hikaru then wrapped his other arm around Rin's waist.

"We're going too," Rin said.

"We can't trust them," Ren said.

"We're going too Tamaki," Kyoya said. "We're holding an evaluation meeting. Mostly about you."

"Hold it!" Tamaki called and they all stopped. "How can you be so heartless? These men are about to lose their club. Don't you feel sorry for them?" He then turned around. "Their family's breaking up!" he yelled as he started crying. The newspaper club behind him all started crying as well. "I demand you help them! And that is a direct order!"

"We're not going to do it!" the twins, Rin and Kyoya yelled. Tamaki screamed as he felt the world around him shatter into a thousand broken pieces.

MUSIC ROOM #3

Tamaki sat in the corner, moving the Kamari ball back and forth with his index finger. Mori-senpai was sipping tea while Honey-senpai was eating cake. Ren was writing things down, basically doing Rin's math homework for her.

"Well, he's obviously upset with us," Hikaru said.

"Yeah, and he hasn't even changed clothes," Kaoru said.

"I hate when he ignores us when we're right in front of him," Kyoya said. "He's such a child."

"He started doing this at age two," Rin said. "I guess habits don't die young."

"Nah, Tama-chan's just a lonely guy, that's all," Honey-senpai said as Haruhi looked over to him.

"A club is like a family," Tamaki pouted. "There family's about to be broken up. I feel sorry for them."

"I hate to give in, but would it be that bad if we helped them out with the newspaper?" Haruhi asked.

"Since when are you taking his side?" Kaoru asked.

"Since never. Just listen okay. I know any moment now he's gonna look over here with those puppy dog eyes he uses when he wants something and none of us will be able to resist so he'll win."

"Let me guess, you're speaking from experience, aren't you?" the twins asked.

"Yep. Plus, I've told her to watch out for that look numerous times before," Rin said and they nodded.

"Besides, isn't this the kind of thing you guys go for?"

"Well, no. It seems like more trouble than it's worth."

"What about you Honey-senpai?" Haruhi asked.

"Count me out! I have this cake to eat and Takashi sits with me, right?" Honey-senpai asked. Mori-senpai nodded.

"What about you Rin?" she asked.

"Hell no. Not happening," she said and Haruhi sighed. She felt Tamaki's eyes looking at her and she turned around. When she did, he turned away but then looked back. He looked at the ball before he turned around and looked at them.

Those are the eyes, Haruhi thought.

He looked at the ball before he turned around and looked at them.

The puppy dog eyes, the twins thought.

He looked at the ball before he turned around and looked at them.

I hate you so much Tamaki, Rin thought.

He looked at the ball before he turned around and looked at them.

Kyoya remained silent but it still got him. He sighed.

"There will be some conditions," he said and Tamaki barked. "The outline for their article will be selected by us. Interviews are strictly prohibited and its vital our client's lives be confidential."

"Bark! Bark!" Tamaki barked, being a dog.

"Do we agree?" he asked as he closed his book.

"Well, if you think its cool Kyoya-senpai," Hikaru said.

"Then we do too," Kaoru said.

"I'll do it since Kyo-chan says its okay," Honey-senpai said.

"Fine, I'll do it as well," Rin said.

That's the Shadow King for you, Haruhi thought.

"Of course, if you'll allow us to cover you, we promise to observe your conditions," the president, Akira, said.

"Well then, you may start tomorrow," Kyoya said.

"Excellent."

"So how is that bump on your forehead feeling?"

"Oh that. It's no big deal. I hardly feel it anymore. I owe a lot to this bump cause without it, we'd have never come together to make this article."

"That's true, but we're still very sorry it happened." He then put a first aid kit on the desk. "I brought you a little something as an apology of sorts." He then opened the box. "This is the first aid kit, made by my family's company."

"Thank you, I appreciate it."

"No problem. Please, excuse me."

"Oh, it just dogged on me. Your family runs the Ootori group, right? They manufacture medical equipment, don't they?"

"We mostly deal with hospital management."

"I'm so glad we'll be working together. My father is a president as well of the Komatsuzawa Publishing firm."

"Yes, I am well aware of that. So, being president of the newspaper club is your way of preparing to take over the family company?"

"Well yes, to an extent but I have this younger brother. A bright young man and my father's very proud of him, you see? So now my father has decided to change the management of the company over to my younger brother. Thereby passing over me." He bit his thumb. "The eldest son, first born. However, if I'm able to finish my third year at Ouran Academy as the president of a successful newspaper club, I think he may reconsider my candidacy as his successor.

"Do you understand? I cannot allow this club to fall apart, no matter what!"

"Please excuse me," Kyoya said as he walked out of the room.

"Mr President, are we to assume you were trying to win over Kyoya Ootori?" Ukyo asked.

"Of course, my only real enemy here is Tamaki Suoh. Originally, I had planned to use the power of the school newspaper to become popular at Ouran Academy. But then, Suoh showed up and started his stupid Host Club. And suddenly, he became the big man on campus."

"But President, that's not what Sakyo and I heard."

"Yeah, and I thought the newspaper you printed before was just as unpopular as it is now."

"That's enough!" Akira shouted. The two jumped. "It only takes one phone call to mother, and I can have all business between my publishing firm and your families cut off. They obviously got special standings. They're not affiliated with any sports or cultural clubs. They don't even have an advisor. All they do in that club is fake romance. Those poor girls and guys that visit them are being suckered. That must be Suoh's way of exploiting his power. Using his parent's authority to let him and his buddies do whatever they want with those girls.

"All of those Host Club members, including Kyoya Ootori, were supposed to be my underlings. And that girl, could have been much more to me than an underling. Tamaki Suoh, he's more shroud than you'd expect. He may seem like a friendly guy, he's got the act down. But I'm positive he's got a dark side. I'll dig until I find something scandalous! That'll teach him a lesson!"

He slammed his hand down on the first aid kit, making a loud bang.

Akira stared in shock, not knowing what to say. Tamaki was facing a tree, his eyes closed as he leant against it. The eight other members were standing all the way down the end of the garden. The host club members started moving forward.

"The Daruma doll…fell o….ver!" Tamaki said as he turned around. All the members stopped.

"The…Daruma doll…fell o….ver!" They stopped again.

"The Daruma doll fell o…ver!" He groaned.

"The Daruma door fell o..ver!" He was getting ticked off.

"The Daruma doll fell over!" The newspaper club stared in shock.

"The Daruma doll fell fell over! I saw you move! Hikaru and Kaoru!"

"What? We didn't move boss!"

"I saw you! I saw you!"

…

"Is this some kind of new religion?" Ukyo asked.

"Why are you asking me?" Akira asked. "How the hell should I know?"

"You know, I can't blame you for being shocked," Tamaki said as he gracefully came over. "I was unfamiliar with it myself. It's a commoner's game! They have a wide variety. And none of them require you spending any money. All you need is a few friends to play with!"

"And what does this have to do with our coverage of the host club?"

"YOU NEED TO LEARN FRIENDLINESS!" he yelled and the newspaper jumped. "If you want to clear the negative reputation of the newspaper club and capture the hearts of your readers, you must try to be more down to earth! I can just imagine the headlines now! The handsome boys and the gorgeous girl of the Host Club enjoy commoner's games. With pictures of us frolicking in the scenery of the early summer. It'll be the perfect face list for your front page. And it gives you the chance to know a certain commoner is happier, reliving his childhood here with us!" Tamaki turned to Haruhi and smiled at her, waving.

Oh great. He's looking at me. I should probably start acting like I'm happy to be here.

"But president, I don't think I understand what he's saying," Ukyo said.

"Are you sure this guy isn't just a complete idiot?" Sakyo asked.

"Don't let your guard down just yet. This is all part of his strategy." He then noticed Haruhi standing there, groaning. "The commoner in question," he muttered. "Perfect."

"Why can't this just be over," she groaned.

"You're Fujioka, right? You wouldn't mind if I asked you a few questions, would you?"

"Um, sure."

"So why did you join the host club?"

"Well uh, honestly, I joined because I was forced too."

"You're an honour student here on a scholarship, correct?"

"Yeah, I am."

"So in other words, the fact that you're a member of Host Club is just another example of how the Suoh family flaunt their power."

"Say what?"

"Now if you would please tell me all about Tamaki's dark side. If you can help me out here, we just might be able to set you free."

"Sorry, but as far as I can tell he doesn't have a dark side."

"That can't be right. You expect me to believe a group of high schoolers actually enjoy playing these games?"

"I don't think it's that weird."

"You've got to be kidding me."

"Rin knows more about Tamaki than I do. Maybe you should go ask her." He then smirked.

"Oh really? Haruhi, would you go get her then?" Haruhi nodded before she went over to them.

"Rin, they want you." Rin turned around.

"Uh, alright," she said as she walked towards the newspaper club.

"Ah, Miss Hayashi. Would you mind if we asked you some questions?" Akira asked as the other two took pictures.

"Go ahead. Shoot," she said.

"Now, why did you join the host club?"

"Well, technically I was forced too because guys wanted to pay to see me."

"Oh really? Aren't you the only female in the club?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Another example of how the Suoh family flaunt their power. Taking advantage of a young girl to please themselves."

"What are you talking about?"

"Tell me, does Tamaki have a dark side? Tell me all about it." She went silent for a few seconds before she started laughing. "What's so funny?" he asked, looking confused.

"Tamaki? Dark side? Those two things don't go together. Trust me when I say that Tamaki doesn't have a dark side?"

"You're kidding? You expect me to believe the high schoolers want to play these childish games?"

"Well yeah, I like them."

"Oh, but you're different." He placed his hand on her shoulder. "If you tell me the truth, I can help you escape from Tamaki and his stupid friends and I can get your stories published by my firm. What do ya say?"

"They're my friends too. Don't say things like that about them."

Suddenly, the twins came over and sliced his hand off her shoulders and ran off, holding her hands. "CHOP!"

"Now come and get us!" the twins and Honey-senpai yelled.

"Hey Wait! THAT'S NOT WHERE YOUR SUPPOSED TO CUT YA KNOW!?" Tamaki screamed, still linked to Kyoya by their pinkie fingers.

…

"Now we're playing 'Kick the Can'. And you're it Kyoya," Tamaki said as he pointed at him.

"If I must," he said.

"STARLIGHT…KICK!" Tamaki screamed as he kicked the can as hard as he could. The can soared past the newspaper club and Akira screamed out. He then regained himself. Rin watched as the can bounced off numerous different trees.

"If you honestly think I'd fall for the same trick again, you've got another thing co-" The can smacked him in the head.

"President!"

"Haruhi, come with me," Tamaki whispered as he grabbed Haruhi's hand and dragged her into the hedge maze.

I don't think he has a dark side. Could he? Now that I think about it, I don't know anything about Tamaki-senpai's family.

…

Kyoya placed the smashed can down on the ground and started counting. Akira stood back up, groaning in pain.

"I refuse to put up with their shenanigans any longer," he said as he walked away, angrily. "You pay for this, Tamaki Suoh." Kyoya counted to six before he stood up and smirked.

…

"Did you get us lost senpai?" Haruhi asked. Tamaki gasped. "We are lost, aren't we?"

"Look! Haruhi! I found a great hiding place over here!" Tamaki called from around the corner.

"Yeah, we're totally lost."

…

"So, we're stranded until somebody finds us?" Haruhi asked. He barked. "Oh great. It's a good thing you made Kyoya-senpai it." He barked again. "Are you messing with me?" He shook his head and panted like a dog. Haruhi groaned.

"You know, I never thought I'd be playing these silly games again when I got into highschool."

"But don't you think this is fun?"

"I guess. But I haven't played any of this stuff since Elementary School."

"Yeah? I see. It's new to me. When I was growing up, I never really had any friends that were my age. Rin was a year younger and Ren was two years older than me. My mother would get sick every easily and I was always worried about her so I didn't go out and play much. Instead, I would do my best to cheer her up. I'd always sit beside her and play the piano. Those two always stayed with me while I was taking care of my mother. That's how Rin learnt to play.

"That's probably why now I love playing these silly games with all of you. It's a lot of fun." Haruhi smiled. "We should do this again sometime."

"I think so too."

…

"I'm writing the article," Akira said as he walked down the halls.

"But wait, Mr President," Ukyo said.

"It's too dangerous to write gossip about Suoh," Sakyo said. "You don't have any evidence sir." Akira started biting his thumb.

Who needs evidence? All I have to do is expose him and everyone will see it. If I set my mind to it, I can imagine any number of articles to cause commotion in the idiots of this Academy.

"I'm going to expose Tamaki for the twit he is!" He slammed open to the newspaper club and gasped.

"So we were right all along," Kaoru said.

"You two," he said as he stared at the twins sitting on his desk.

"Well, I guess it was pretty obvious," Hikaru said.

"The boss is the only one who hasn't caught on yet. He can be really dense when it pertains to anything about himself."

"I should warn you, if you threaten him, there will be consequences."

"Are you ready to have the Hitachiin's and every other club members family's as your enemy?"

"Are you that shallow that you would write gossip about him that doesn't even exist, just because he's more popular than you?" Ren asked with a smirk.

"And really? Trying to bribe me? Are you really that stupid to think that I'd just give myself to you because of it?" Rin asked as she stood behind their desk. "Even though my family is no more, I have connections to many other families."

"I knew it! You're nothing but his lackeys! He's holding his parent's power over all of you!"

"That's not true," Honey-senpai said. The newspaper club turned around. "We don't hang out with Tama-chan because of his parents. We love him. We all like being around him. And that's why we choose to be here."

"He may be a hopeless idiot, but even so," Kyoya said as he sat on top of one of their newspaper stacks.

…

"Hey Kyoya, let's start a club together!"

…

"Why, hello there Haninozuka-senpai. I know this is sudden, but I was wondering if you'd join a host club I am starting."

…

"Morinozuka-senpai." He gave him a thumbs up.

…

"You kids seem to have a lot of free time. If you ever get bored, you should come join our new club."

…

"Rin-chan, you're the first real friend I've ever had. Let's be friends forever." They shook on it.

…

"Hey Ren, don't worry. I'll help you protect your little sister from any danger! Okay?"

…

"Well," Hikaru said.

"What will you do?" Kaoru asked.

"Please leave Tama-chan alone," Honey-senpai said. "Okay?"

"I'll get you all. It's not just about him anymore. I'll write an article that will ruin all of you!" Akira screamed out.

"Go ahead. Be my guest," Kyoya said as he picked up the first aid kit. "Although." He tapped a button on the bottom of the box and out popped a disk drive. "What do you think we should do about this little disk?" He held it in between his fingers. "You see, it's been here since yesterday. And it recorded everything."

"I wonder what kind of stuff could be on that little disk," Rin asked with a smirk on her face. The two other members of the newspaper club shuddered at the memory.

"President," Ukyo cried.

"Just give up already," Sakyo said. Akira suddenly fell to the floor on his hands and knees.

"Let me explain it to you in terms you can understand," Kyoya said as he walked towards them. "You will do well to remember that the Ootori Group and the Hitachiin family alone, have enough stock to remove your father's position as president of the Komatsuzawa Publishing firm. However, we would never do something like that? We are not like you." All the host club members had smiles on their faces from the despair that the newspaper club's president was showing.

"What we strive for, is something fundamentally different."

…

The host club members started walking out the door till only Hikaru and Rin were left.

"Oh, and by the way," Hikaru said as he stood at the door. "Try and touch my girlfriend again, and I'll get Kyoya's private police force, along with myself and her brother, to teach you a lesson." He grabbed onto Rin's hand as the two walked out the door.

…

"I found you," Kyoya said and Tamaki and Haruhi both barked. They lifted their heads from off the table and gasped when they saw all the host club members standing before them.

"Where's the newspaper club?" Tamaki asked as they started walking.

"They had to cancel, something came up," the twins said as they walked by two roses.

One blue and one orange.

"They said they're going to focus on writing more respectable articles," Hikaru said.

"And maybe they'll get by without having to shut down," Kaoru said.

"Oh really? That's good news," Tamaki said.

"Let's hurry back to the club room and eat some cake!" Honey-senpai said as he sat upon Mori-senpai's shoulders.

"Yeah," Mori-senpai said as they passed another two roses.

One pink and one a dark blue.

"That does sound good. Cake! Cake!" Tamaki cheered.

"Maybe I could finally finish my math homework," Rin said.

"You mean, I could finish your math homework," Ren said.

"Oh, you two are so cute," Tamaki said as he patted them both on the shoulders as they walked past another two roses.

One was yellow and the other was yellow with red tips.

"Kyoya-senpai. I was wondering," Haruhi started as they walked past another rose.

This one was purple.

"Is the Suoh family really that big of a deal around here?"

A red one and a light green one.

"You should be grateful to them."

"Haruhi~!" Tamaki called. Haruhi slowly turned her head, like she was a robot, stiff. "Hurry up or we're going to leave you! I would hate for you to end up lost again."

Haruhi sighed as she realised that Tamaki, dim witted Tamaki, was the chairman's son. She took a second to regain herself before she groaned, catching up to them.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. Leave your opinions and comments or whatever. Thanks for reading~!
