Alright. It's time for Kyoya and co. to rescue Sakura from Benio. BTW, if you remember from the last chapter, Honey and Mori are downstairs with the army of Host Club girls, so they're not part of the confrontation. Just thought I'd clarify.

She was fine. Perfectly okay. And to be quite honest, she looked downright amazing in the Lobelia uniform. She breathed out a sigh and struggled a little.

"What did you guys do to get in here?" She questioned.

The twins looked at each other, then at the bound hostess, "A lot."

"Oh that explains so much." Sakura rolled her eyes.

Tamaki looked around the room before stepping forward, "Where's Benio?"

"She left like…10 seconds ago to find Hinako." Sakura struggled more, "Can you get me out of here, please?"

In unison, Kaoru and Kyoya stepped towards the chair. When they realized their synchronized movement, they stopped and glanced at each other. The older students piercing eyes made the younger fall back and stand by his brother. Hikaru sighed and patted his brother's shoulder.

"A'least she's safe, right?" He said.

Kaoru nodded, "Yeah…"

Kyoya made his way over to the chair and knelt down in front of Sakura, first untying the ropes around her wrists. Sakura watched as the rope's fell on her lap. Flexing her wrists, she watched Kyoya stand up and go behind the chair, untying the 4 knots in the back.

"Did you unleash the Ootori family private police on this place?" Sakura questioned, laughing softly, "I heard the alarm."

Kyoya smirked slightly, "Not quite."

"Then what?

"Let's call it your fan base." He stood up and shoved one hand into his pocket.

Sakura stood up as well. The ropes fell to her feet and she kicked them aside, "Fan base?"

"In the short amount of time you've been in the Host Club, you've gained quite a gathering." Hikaru said, leaning on his brother's shoulder, "A lot of people like you."

"They came in to help. Also all the girls who have heard the songs you wrote" Haruhi continued, "Which means, basically, the entire customer base of the Ouran Host Club."

Sakura looked at Kyoya, "Really?" If anyone could confirm this, it would be him. The brains behind the operation.

Kyoya nodded, "Really."

Sakura nodded, "Cool."

"Let's get out of here." Kaoru nodded towards the door, "Before Benio and co. comes back."

The rest of the group nodded in agreement. Haruhi was the first out the door, followed by Tamaki, then Hikaru. Kaoru hung behind a little and waited for Kyoya and Sakura to walk out so he could shut the door. As they stepped out, Kaoru noticed Kyoya leaning down towards Sakura's cheek. He pecked her softly, making her glance up at him and smile. She then took his arm, and put it around her waist. Kaoru shook his head and sighed, stepping out of the room and shutting the door behind him.

I hoped he wasn't just after the money and business she brought in. Apparently, he cares. But if that's true, then why does he hide it with stupid excuses? When you care for someone, you shouldn't be afraid to show it. You shouldn't get in to huge arguments about why you're so unaffectionate. If I were in his place…

"I suppose I shouldn't have taken you all so lightly."

Kaoru was snapped from his thoughts by the painfully familiar voice. For a moment, his eyes locked with Benio's, but it was a moment later that she snapped her gaze to Kyoya, who's placid expression changed not a bit.

"You call sending an army of Zuka Club fans, locking the doors, and setting off a warning alarm 'taking us lightly'?" Hikaru said, arching an eyebrow in disbelief, "You're kidding, right?"

"Hikaru, we sent an army of Host Club customers at them and kidnapped her friends." Haruhi whispered into Hikaru's ear, "We didn't exactly take them lightly either."

"That's besides the point." Hikaru murmured back.

"I should have prepared more." Benio crossed her arms over her chest, "You overtook is way to easily. But no matter. You won't get any farther. Leave Sakura and go back to Ouran and no one will get hurt."

"Did you just threaten us?" Haruhi said, offended.

"I did." Benio's expression softened as her eyes landed on Haruhi, "I'm sorry. I'll return for you some other time. For now…I can only focus on one girl at a time."

Sakura rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. Kyoya, with his free hand, adjusted his glasses.

"It's six against one, Benio." Kyoya said.

"Actually, six against three."

Hinako and Chizuru stepped out from behind Benio and assumed cross-armed positions like Benio.

"We still out number you." Hikaru pointed out, "Even with your lackeys."

"That doesn't matter." Benio snapped, "We'll still take the girl back!"

Sakura crossed her arms over her chest, "You know, 'the girl' has a name. It's Sakura and she DOES NOT want to give up working every day with 6 handsome men and one amazing girl to join some whacked out all girls school. Why don't you get that?"

Chizuru stepped forward, "Lobelia is the pinnacle of all female academies! Girls who graduate from here move on in life as successful, beautiful women who aren't defined by anything. Especially not men!"

She said that last word with such venom that even Kyoya's insides churned for a second.

"Exactly!" Hinako took a step forward, "Why should girls go anywhere else? This is an academy made by girls, for girls! It shapes and molds you into the things you should be. You learn independence, strength and superiority over anything that may stand in the path of the female."

"Ouran, however, does not teach those same values." Benio glared directly at Kyoya, as if it were his fault Ouran didn't have the same principles as Lobelia, "By allowing a club such as yours to exist, it belittles us. In the eyes of the Host Club, we are just toys. Toying with the emotions and delicate heart of the female is wrong. Why should we stand back and allow an innocent girl fall into such a club?"

There was a silence. A long, tense silence. Sakura breathed out a sigh, unable to form any words. The Lobelia girls, as much as Sakura hated to admit, sort of had a point. The Host Club does, in fact, lead girls on. They are playing with a girl's emotions. When you think of it like that…

"That's not what the Host Club is about."

Sakura turned her attention to the blonde who'd spoken. A serious expression on his face and a hand in his pocket, Tamaki let out a sigh.

"Our Host Club is not about playing with girls or belittling them. We have the utmost respect for them. The point of the Ouran Host Club is to make people happy. True, most of our customers are girls, but that is only because we are handsome gentlemen. We think of fun and creative ways to entertain girls. Our ideas span from things as simple as tea parties to things as complicated as recording songs." Tamaki tossed a smile in Sakura's direction.

"Then explain all of the preposterous things you say." Benio snapped, "All those silly words of flattery and love. You don't mean any of them!"

"We mean what we say." Tamaki said, his smile now directed at Benio, "If we didn't, then we would be lying, and that would be disrespectful."

"What about your proclamations of love?" Chizuru queried.

"Also true. We love each of our customers." Tamaki said simply.

Benio clenched her teeth and, for a moment, her entire body shook with anger, "You can't spread your love so easily! Your club is ridiculous! You spend time doing things that you think make girls happy, but in reality you –"

"If our club is so wrong, then that means your club must be wrong too."

Benio, Chizuru, and Hinako all turned their attention to the the red head who spoke. Kaoru put a hand on his hip.

"What do you do in the Zuka Club? You have tea parties and stuff too. You put on shows. You're making girls happy just like we are. So if we're wrong, then, you are too. In all fairness, we have the right to come and kidnap every girl in the Zuka Club and bring them to Ouran to save them from you three."

The three looked as though they'd just been smacked across the face. Their expressions of utter shock were so amusing that Hikaru and Sakura, both being ones to laugh easily, had to bite their tongues to stay quiet. Benio's mouth opened a few times, but no words came out.

"If we're done talking," Kyoya said, smirking slightly, "We will be leaving now."

And the group turned and started towards the doorway.

"W-wait!'

Footsteps began to approach them from behind. But the Hosts didn't stop.

"Shouldn't we make them stop chasing us?" Sakura glanced back at the girls who weren't very far from them.

Kyoya glanced at his watch, "5,4,3,2,…."

"AHHH!"

The Hosts turned to see the Lobelia girls trapped under a black net. The net was being pinned to the floor by two Black Magic Club members, one of the two was Nekozawa.

"Thank-you, Nekozawa-senpai." Kyoya nodded at him.

"You're welcome, Ootori-kun."

And the group started walking towards the doorway again. Haruhi looked back at Nekozawa and the Lobelia girls.

"Kyoya-senpai, did you plan that?"

"Haruhi, what did I tell you earlier?"

Haruhi sighed, "Don't ask questions…"

And so ends the Lobelia drama. Benio, Chizuru, and Hinako were released from Nekozawa's grasp sometime after the Host Club returned to Ouran. Kanako called off the host club customers and they all returned to the school, leaving only a few Lobelia students injured severely enough to need medical care. The rest had a few cuts and bruises and a little bit of lost hair…damn those host club customers can be violent…
