Sorry for the late update! Oh an there's a typo in a past chapter. You guys remember the chapter entitled Wonderous Wonder? Yeah. Kyouya actually said that whoever gets picked will get to kiss Mori not Suzu. But the bottle stopped pointing to Tamaki so yeah. Enjoy this chapter! Hope I didn't make any mistakes!

Ouran High School

Third Music Room

1:00 p.m.

"Hey, who do you think Suzu-kun is dressed as?"

"What about Abe Juro-san?"

"Saburo-san?"

"No! They're all too vicious!"

"She's right! Suzu-sempai is the epitome of peace and tranquility!"

The clients freely fantasized Suzu's role as she peacefully trimmed a bonsai tree wearing a Shinsengumi uniform.

"Yes! You can imagine him sitting peacefully by a koi pond tending bonsai with such care and grace!" Renge shouted standing in front of a podium.

Customers: KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!

"Wow, Suzu-chan! You're getting a lot of attention today!" Hani skipped over to her.

"Am I?" Suzu smiled "Anyway, I'm finished over here. Why don't you go over with the others and I'll serve you some sweets and tea."

"Thank you!" He shouted running off.

"Aren't you getting lonely all by yourself here?" Suzu walked over where Mori sat and handed him a cup of green tea.

"Not anymore." He mumbled as he took the cup.

Mori sat quietly as Suzu stood behind him talking to his clients for him right until…

STAB

Customers: KYAAAAAAAAA!

Haruhi: Mori-sempai?

Suzu: Takashi!

Hikaru: Why did he do that all of a sudden?

Kaouru: He's angry because he's not garnering any attention!

Hani: Don't worry, Takashi! Me and Suzu-chan are here!

Tamaki: Mori-sempai! Please calm down! I understand that every time you only have one or two lines of dialogue and that it's already the later parts of the second half, you're getting irritated because you don't get any episodes featuring you but-

No

Everyone stopped their delusional conclusions as they watched Mori open the screen doors.

"There's a trespasser." He said monotonously.

"Wait." Suzu spoke up "Isn't that-"

"Morinozuka Takashi!" The "trespasser" charged at him.

The Host Club: A raid?

"Sempai! Please accept me as your apprentice!" The "trespasser" bowed respectfully.

.

.

.

Ha?

Everyone stared at the "trespasser" dumbfounded as he stayed in that position.

"Ah, I see." Suzu suddenly popped out of nowhere crouching in front of the "trespasser".

"I suggest that everyone go back to their jobs and take care of this matter after club hours, ok?" Suzu smiled at everyone as she shooed them away "Leave him to me, alright? Now shoo!"

All the Host Club members finally listened and made their way back to their designated clients.

"Why don't you stay there and I'll prepare some tea for you." Suzu closed the screens of the makeshift tatami room and went off to get some tea.

"No. I'm not a human weapon. I was just born with this scary face"

The "trespasser", or Kasanoda Ritsu, sat on a couch across another one with Hikaru, Kaouru, Kyouya, Haruhi and Tamaki.

"So you were aware of it, Casanova-kun." The twins said in union.

"It's Kasanoda."

"Bossa Nova?"

"*eyes flash* IT'S KASANODA, DAMMIT! YOU GUYS WANT TO DIE?"

Suzu stood by a table, which was occupied by Hani and Mori, behind the other members' couch.

"Poor guy." Hani sympathized.

"Mmm." Suzu nodded "But he does seem to look up to you, Takashi."

"Morinozuka-sempai." Kasonada started getting Hani and Suzu's attention "Please teach me. Why can you be like that?"

Mori turned to him with a serious expression.

"You have such a scary face…"

Mori: D= (the "D" is Mori's mouth and the "=" are his eyes)

Suzu: *pfft* (expression means holding back fit of laughter)

"… emotionless, uncommunicative and unsociable… Your face is pretty much akin to the guard dogs from hell… yrt how are you ablr to have so many people around you?"

Kasonada got off his seat and once again bowed "Please teach me your secrets!"

"Oooh…" Mori rubbed his temples.

"You okay, Takashi?" Hani asked concerned.

"I'm just feeling dizzy." Mori replied and looked at his fiancée who was hiding half of her flushed face (from holding back laughter) with a circular tray.

"S- *pfft* Sorry, Takashi."

'Great. Not only do we have a wannabe "apprentice", but also a GORGEOUS fiancée in the brink of hysterical laughter because of OUR humiliation!'

'We need help.'

"Tamaki." You called.

Mori's facial expression: HELP ME!

"If Mori-sempai says so, then I, Suoh Tamaki, shall do my best!" Tamaki said getting too full of himself. "Bossa Nova-kun, although you and Mori-sempai have nothing in common, there is some thing that you definitely lack!"

"Wha?"

"That is… the Lovely Item!"

"L-Lovely… Item?"

"And this time, we present to you…" As Tamaki announced, a stage appeared while its curtains lifted revealing… "Lovely Item, Mitskuni-kun!"

"By putting Hani-sempai beside Mori-sempai, it automatically covers up for Mori-sempai's untalkative nature!" Tamaki explained. "And with the newest addition to the set: Suzu-sempai! The Back-Up Lovely Item! With Hani-sempai's cute and cheery personality mixed with Suzu-sempai's kind and gentle personality, Mori-sempai appears more approachable and becomes a charming young man!"

Haruhi and the twins: "Ooooh! Now, I see!"

Mori: O.O 'That is not what I expected.'

Haruhi: That reminds me. Mori-sempai…

*Mori's head turns to their direction at 90°*

Hikaru: …Pretty much doesn't to anything.

*180°*

Kaouru: He's like a pig. Position-wise, anyway.

*360°*

"Takashi…" Hani's voice caught Mori's attention "*eyes water* You were using us all this time?"

Mori: *shakes head furiously*

"However, Hani-sempai is being rented on a long-term basis…" Tamaki mused to himself "So we can't let you borrow him…"

"Am I being rented to you?"

Mori: D= *shakes head even more furiously*

"Then maybe we can lend you Suzu-sempai since he's just a Back-Up Lovely Item?" Tamaki asked.

"I don't mind *pfft* I'm kinda used to having scary-faced people around *pfft*" Suzu now covered her face with the whole tray as she shook uncontrollably.

'THIS IS SO HUMILIATING! Suoh, you're gonna pay!'

"So it's settled then! Suzu-sempai will be Bossa Nova-kun's Lovely Item!" Tamaki announced. "I guess that settles that. Right Mori-sem-"

Mori's facial expression: Do that, or DIE!

"*ahem* uhhh… err… m-maybe we should find another substitute." Tamaki cleared his throat once more "But we certainly have to change that yankee fashion of yours…"

Morinozuka Estate

Kitchen

12:30 a.m.

"How do you think Kasanoda-san is doing?" Suzu sat on a high stool by the counter. She dangled her feet unknowingly as she spoke with her fiancé across the room while he prepared a midnight snack for the both of them.

The Morinozuka Estate kitchen wasn't different from the normal décor of the house. It is a Japanese traditional kitchen with all the perks of a modern one (like having microwaves, coffee makers and the sort) but the room is larger with a wooden counter in the middle of it.

"I know Tamaki-kun meant well but the thing that he made the twins do may have made Kasanoda-san more frightening. Oh, thank you." Mori set a simple tuna sandwich in front of Suzu as she talked about Kasanoda's temporary "transformation".

"Well, the dreadlocks did look good on him." Mori joked with his monotonous voice as he wrapped his arms around Suzu's waist from behind and kissed her on her temple.

"That wasn't nice you know." She giggled as she ate her sandwich with her fiancé attached to her.

"Here. Have a bite." Suzu gave him as piece as she "fed" him "I thought you were going to make one for yourself too."

"*swallow* I ate it while I made yours." Mori said as he opened his mouth once again for another piece.

"So then, why are you eating off my share?" Suzu held up the piece not giving it to Mori.

"Because it tastes better when you feed me." Mori leaned in closer to eat the piece from her hand.

"I'll be in the room. Come back to bed, ok? It's late." Mori unwrapped his arms around her as he headed for the stairs.

The Next Day

Ouran North Entrance Gate

7:30 a.m.

"It looks like it's going to rain today." Suzu mumbled absent-mindedly as she walked to class with her best friend and fiancé.

"Hey, look! It's Bossa Nova-kun!" Hani waved at him.

"Morinozuka-aniki!" Kasanoda bowed "Good morning."

"Good Morning, Bossa Nova-kun!"

"Ussu! Haninozuka-sempai! Sasazuka-sempai!" Kasanoda yelled fiercely "freezing" the passer-bys.

Hani latched onto Suzu's waist out of fear. "Ussu." He murmured.

"Morinozuka-sempai. Let me take your briefcases to your classrooms." Kasanoda offered gesturing with his hands.

"It's alright. We still have time." Mori said calmly 'An enemy.' His senses stiffened as he used his thumb to push Kasanoda out of a falling pot's way.

"What the-!" Kasanoda froze dumbfounded before his should-have-been demise.

"Kasanoda-san! Are you al-" Suzu tried running over to him.

SMASH!

Another potted plant was elegantly disposed of by Mori right before it made contact to Suzu.

"Mori-kun, are you alright?"

"You ok, Morinozuka?"

People started crowding Mori after the potted plants stopped falling from the sky.

Kasanoda sat on the ground as he envied his sensei's charisma.

"Are you hurt, Kasanoda-san?" Suzu asked from beside him looking at the freshman with worried eyes.

"Ahh… Ummm" Kasanoda nodded slowly as he was helped up by his sempai.

"Something wrong, Kasanoda-san?" Suzu dusted off some of the dirt that smeared Kasanoda's shirt.

"It's… Well… Morinozuka-aniki has so many people around him even though he has such a scary face…" He looked at the ground below his feet "I'm so envious of him…"

"Envy is one of the seven deadly sins, you know." Suzu stated with a warm smile "All I'm saying is… trust yourself more, ok?"

"Umm…" Kasanoda faced his sempai with a nod "Thanks, sempai."

Ouran High School

The Third Music Room

10:00 a.m.

The Host Club: "…" -_-

The Host Club decided to "officially" start Kasanoda's Angelic Transformation and pitched in some ideas they might have to help. Right now, they settled for Tamaki's…

Kasanoda wore a stressed expression on his face and neko ears headband on his head. The host club is currently judging his appearance…

.

.

.

Hani: -_- . . . "Bakeneko."

*girl's shriek*

Suzu: "Uhmm… I think that's too harsh, Mitskuni… I think he looks more like a Nue."

(KhAeL: A Nue is a mysterious creature usually described as having the head of a monkey, the body of a raccoon dog, the limbs of a tiger, and a snake tail. )

*girl's shriek*

Kaouru: -_- "That's too harsh, Suzu-sempai."

Everybody else: -_- "Yeah."

Twins: "If you're going for the nekomimi look then you should go all out!"

Ouran High School

Host Club Room

12: 01 p.m.

"Here's some new uniforms, Haruhi-chan."

Suzu handed Haruhi a spare male uniform since her old one was stained with red paint.

"Thanks, Suzu-sempai." Haruhi gratefully took the bundle and started stripping out of her stained uniform "Sempai, did you know about Casanova-san's "assassins" too?"

"In a way I did…" Suzu smiled gently "Takashi and Mitskuni didn't tell me about it but I knew in a way."

"Ah I see." Haruhi took off her dress shirt "Sem-"

*door opens*

"Ma-Ma-Ma- MAH?"
