Shout out it StarGuard147 for her first time review and for all the other reviews. And here's a shout out to all the anonymous guest reviews I've been getting! Enjoy this next chapter and R&R!

Although Ritsu Kasanoda was once the intimidating person of the Host Club, I replaced him as I menacingly held him before the twin devils to meet his doom.

"PEEPING TOM!" the twins shouted in unison at the culprit.

"You saw?" Hikaru asked.

"Didn't you Kasanoda?" Kaoru asked.

"Yeah, he did." I said bluntly, "And luckily I wasn't as unlucky as Haruhi."

I looked to the other end of the room to see the rest of the club and Tamaki looking like he was about to have a heart attack at any moment because his favorite 'daughter' was seen half naked by another man.

"He's clearly guilty." Honey said menacingly, agreeing with me.

"S-so H-haruhi is a girl?" Ritsu asked, his knees shaking up a storm.

"Oh great, he's onto Haruhi's little secret," Kaoru said.

"So let's hear it," Hikaru ordered.

"How much of her maidenly-ness did you actually see?" Kaoru asked.

"W-well she was changing so I s-saw her…underwear," he admitted quietly.

"YOU SAW HARUHI'S UNDERWEAR?!" the twins screamed and Tamaki looked like he needed to be admitted to a hospital!

"So what do we do?!" Kaoru asked with a truly hellish look in his eyes.

"There's only one thing to do! Senka!" Hikaru ordered with the same hellish look, "we must induce amnesia!"

"Got it!" I said, holding his neck firm as Hikaru and Kaoru grabbed out two baseball bats.

"That's enough you three," Kyoya said coolly.

"How can you be so calm about this?!" Kaoru asked in shock.

"Look!" Hikaru shouted and pointing his bat at Tamaki, "The Boss is so deep in shock, he's regressing!"

Sure enough, there was The Host King. Eroding away, he sat in a corner with a dead and shocked look in his eye as if his universe was collapsing around him! Kyoya gave Ritsu the run down on Haruhi's situation and intimidated him quite a bit!

"Come on, guys!" Haruhi said, emerging from the changing room, "stop bullying him! Look it's all right, Ritsu. Doesn't matter to me, you can tell whoever you want to."

"Well, well, Ritsu," Hikaru said slyly.

"Since you know she's actually a girl, are you in love?" Kaoru asked curiously.

At that, Tamaki's head looked like exploding! His life seemed to be spiraling into an all-out depression and there was nothing we could do to stop it…however, it was quite comical.

I wonder how this will turn out. I thought evilly in my head, acting a little like the twins.

The next day, the Host Club was open for business and at first, Ritsu didn't show up and we all thought he had been scared off. But only a few minutes after the guests had been seated, he appeared and said something that caused all the girls' fan-girl senses into overdrive.

"I'd…like to request Haruhi Fujioka…" he mumbled and all the girls went 'Kyaaa!' with delight!

At these shocking words, my dear friend Renge popped out of the floor with Kimi by her side (so that's where she had been all day). Renge giggled the whole way up for a spectacle. Kimi helped me up on the platform for a good view and I couldn't say I wasn't interested in the outcome of the situation.

"Welcome, Kasanoda," Haruhi said sweetly, "So you're our guest today, huh?"

Ritsu looked more nervous than ever. I could relate to him, once feeling constantly jumpy around my crush but now I had calmed down a little more…just a little. I still felt like running a mile in bear feet whenever I got close to him however. I just hoped Haruhi was more aware of his feelings than Hikaru was of mine.

"Uh…that's right," Ritsu stammered.

"So is this your first time in a place like this?" Haruhi asked, trying to strike up a conversation.

Ritsu became even more jumpy and Haruhi just laughed at the joke she had pulled.

C'mon Haruhi, you could be a little more sensitive than that! I thought.

"Don't just stand there, Kyoya! Get him out of here!" Kaoru shouted, completely engraged.

"He's bringing in the customers so I have no reason," Kyoya replied simply.

"C'mon, Senka! Do something! Scare him off!" Hikaru yelled up at me.

I almost didn't notice him as I was too busy watching Ritsu. Oh how I sympathized with him. Loving someone who didn't love you back was the worst feeling in the world but it was something I had gotten around ever since I had gone on that little date.

"Huh?" I asked, "Oh…uh…no he's fine,"

The twins just growled at me.

"Oh no! She's giving him the adorable smile!" Hikaru said worriedly, "The one no man can resist!"

You better resist, Hikaru. I thought, shooting him a glance but he didn't seem to notice.

The twins' next tactic was throwing their boss at Ritsu which failed pretty miserably. Tamaki only acted like a robot the whole time and was more of a nuisance. Finally, the twins mentioned Haruhi's future as a mob wife and that snapped him out of it. Unfortunately, he was driven to the emo corner by being told off by Ritsu and the Host Club proceeded to have a discussion on the sidelines. I just continued to watch Ritsu's brave performance.

"Do you think we could do this more often?" Ritsu asked.

He's progressing faster than I ever did. He's a brave little guy, I must commend him. I thought.

"Absolutely! That way you and I can get more acquainted!" Haruhi said sweetly.

Then Ritsu went in for the kill.

"Haruhi…I…" he tried to stutter.

You're doing a great job at all, fantastic really but you shouldn't take it THIS fast! I thought, watching the spectacle.

"I…I…"

"You're glad that you have someone to relate to, right?"

Poor guy…hung out to dry. I thought, immediately feeling sorry for the friend-zoned man.

"You're right! We'll be friends! The best of friends!" he stammered.

Another heart of gold. I thought smiling. I'm proud of him for handling rejection better than I did. I guess I looked pretty immature when I got hung out to dry. I got pretty pouty…It's interesting to see others in love. I guess I'm not alone in my struggle, eh?

The club appeared to be quite touched by this display of acceptance under harsh circumstances and they all flocked to his side! Even the twins were moved to tears and I was no exception. I had a deep admiration for this guy; after all, he just accomplished something that took me almost all of the year to do in a few minutes.

After the club's guests were headed out for the day, we were left to discuss plans for next month's hosting event but I was busy going through some paperwork…sometimes being assistant manager sucked. I had my laptop up with the theme from Assassin's Creed Three playing in my ears as I calculated numbers and scrabbled out signatures. As I continued with my work, a devil's face swung in front of mine.

"Hey," Hikaru said, making me jump out of my skin.

"Eek! Oh…I-It's just you…" I shrieked with a huge blush forming on my face.

"Um…" he muttered, "You don't know Ritsu personally do you?"

"N-no…why?" I asked as I killed the Assassin music.

Hikaru shifted uncomfortably for a moment then spoke up again.

"So…you don't really like him…or anything?" he asked awkwardly.

"What? No!" I scoffed.

"Heh. No reason," he said with a smirk, his breath hitting my face.

Normally I would've pushed the first guy in my personal bubble to the ground where I could aim a gun at him but Hikaru was an exception. How could I push away a gorgeous face like his? He just stood there for a while with his face in mine then playfully stuck out his tongue. At this, my face turned the shade of blood and he only smirked and took his leave. Assassin's Creed Three music wasn't enough to drown out the epic fan-girl squeals in my head.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! He totally likes me!

(Hikaru POV)

Red suits her. Especially on her face. I thought as I left Senka with a huge blush on her face.

Senka: Heheheheh

Kimi: Someone's gotta crush~

Senka: I'm not even going to yell at you because it's true!

Kimi: Next time is the big climax: Cavalry and Cut-throats!

Twins: dun dun DUUUUN
