"Not you again! Can't you see that we have guests right now?" Tamaki was upset; what else was new? A trio of girls stood in front of him. They were different from the regular girls at Ouran. Oh, maybe because they weren't from Ouran. Haruhi quickly noticed the different uniforms they wore. That was probably why they had different attitudes as well. It was obvious that they were proud of who they were, and they held great disdain for Tamaki. Two things most of the girls at Ouran did not feel.

"Where is our beautiful maidan? We have come to offer her a position." the tallest girl said. From the way they were positioned it was easy to tell that she was in charge. Tamaki noticeably paled, as did the twins, who had come upon the situation a moment or so after Haruhi.

"Who're you talking about?" Hikaru said, deadly calm.
"Why, our... Oh, I see. Still trying to keep it a secret." the tallest girl seemed amused. As the two were talking, Haruhi noticed Kyouya rounding up the other girls and sending them out.
"No, I'm sorry, we've come upon some business that needs to be taken care of. We will be open tommorrow as usual." he said quietly as he ushered them out.

"There she is!" One of the other girls, she seemed the youngest of the group, ran over and hugged Haruhi wildly, swinging her around in circles gracefully. Haruhi tried to struggle free, but her attempts were futile. She was forced to wait until the rampaging girl had had enough huging, and she was set down again. "How've you been? Have you had enough of these ridiculous boys yet? They only want to use you, you know!"

"Hush, darling. Don't overload her. We're just here to see how she's doing, and then we will see if she wishes to hear our proposal." the leader said soothingly.
"So, why are you guys here?" Hikaru asked. "Yeah, didn't have enough last time Haruhi said no?" Karou added.

"Well, we heard some interesting news." the middle girl said slowly.
"Shall we show her?" the youngest said, getting excited.
"Yes." The trio stripped off their uniforms, revealing huge, extravagent costumes. Haruhi stared; what were they doing? They started singing, although Haruhi was too dazed to listen to the beginning. Only in the end, when the trio belted out "THE ZUKA CLUB" together, did she finally start paying attention again, but only for a moment. That was insane! How did they manage to put that together? Haruhi was crunching numbers in her head, trying to figure out how much their little routine would have cost and how long it wuold have taken, when someone began shaking her.

"Hello? Haruhi?" Hikaru was gently shaking her, trying to get her to come back to reality.
"Oh, hey Hikaru. Crazy show, huh? I figured it must've taken at least 40,000 yen to put together." Haruhi mumbled.
"Haruhi?"
"Hey! Don't touch her like that!" the youngest girl ran over and pushed Hikaru out of the way,actually succeding in knowking him to the ground. "Are you O.K?"
Haruhi shook her head. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"O.K..."
"Hey! Don't push me out of the way! I can grab Haruhi how ever I want!" Hikaru yelled at the girl.

An eeire silence fell over both clubs. A left over cricket from the tropical forest started chirrping somewhere. Haruhi gave him a disgusted look, as did Kyouya and the Zuka club. Mori and Honey didn't look too pleased.

Then, to the disbelief of everyone, Tamaki actually walked up and smacked Hikaru, right across the cheek. He took it silently, falling to one knee for a moment. Karou tried to help him, but Hikaru pushed him away. He got up then, with one hand held on his cheek, and ran out a back door. After a moment, Karou excused himself and ran after him.

Haruhi was in total shock, she stood, rooted to the spot, completely unsure of everything. One of the girls from the Zuka club laughed, but their leader shushed her.
"This club looks like it's falling apart at the seams." The leader handed Haruhi a card. She stared at it dumbly. "You know how to reach us if you are feeling tired of these ridiculous fools." The trio danced out of the room, leaving the rest of the host club in their wake.

Tamaki was staring at the ground, his fists shaking in, what seemed to be, rage. Haruhi looked over at him, and thought she could see the reflection of a tear on his face. She was about to walk up to him when he suddenly said something in what sounded like French. It was whispered really. She couldn't understand what he said, but it sounded like only one word. And just as suddenly, Tamaki left. He went into his "dressing room" and locked the door behind him. It was across the room, but there was such a tense silence left behind, that Haruhi actually heard him lock the door. After that, though, she didn't hear a thing come from behind it.

She felt terrible; she had put everyone into this terrible situation. It was completely and utterly her fault. Kyouya seemed to agree with her. His look was filled with unbridled hatred. Honey and Mori just looked sad. They were probably upset that she had stuck around. Without a word, she quickly left the club and the school behind. After all, what was there to say?

She sort of knew her way home, although it took her longer than it ought to have taken. The key from her pocket worked just fine, and she made sure to lock the door behind her. After that, she made dinner for herself and her father (she found an old recipie book, it seemed to be her's), and went to bed. Her dad still wasn't home when she crawled into bed, thinking about everything that had happened that day. What was she going to do? She was suprised that someone hadn't come to yell at her. After all, she was ruining everyone's lives. She sighed. Well, at least the day was over.
