Susumu was just about to walk over and give some of his freshly baked biscuits to the guests seated at Hikaru's and Koaru's table-until he saw Hikaru lift Koaru's burnt finger and apply his lips to it, sucking on his brother's finger.

"Honestly, Koaru. You have to be more careful. Keep your eyes on me, okay?"

"Yes, Hikaru."

Susumu raised one eyebrow over the obviously fake act. The girls in range all began shrieking, and one may have almost had a nosebleed. Judging by the tired look in Koaru's narrowed eyes, Susumu suspected Koaru was just about done with this.

Susumu glanced down at the serving tray in his hands, recalling his task, and after he raised his chin and put on a smile as he approached the twins' table.

"Here, miss," he said as he placed a plate of chocolate chip biscuits in front of the young girl with bows in her hair. She found his kind gesture to be unexpected though her cheeks became rosy.

"I baked these just this morning. I'd like to hear what you think."

"Okay, Senpai." She put a biscuit on her tongue and it melted in her closed mouth.

"I want more!"

The girl with the short hair took a biscuit from her friend's plate. She smiled as she nibbled upon the biscuit.

"It's so delicious! The chocolate chip melt in your mouth!"

"Thank you," he said gratefully. As he watched the guests take one bite after another, he decided to release the thought in his mind. "I think, both of you have a smile that are as sweet as these biscuits."

One girl placed the back of her hand to her forehead and turned away. "Hikaru and Koaru genuienly love each other! And Senpai looked so bashful when he gave us his homemade sweets, look at him blush! I can't take it! It's overwhelming!"

"You have to watch this! You may never get another chance! Who knows when it'll happen again?"

"You are absolutely right, mademoiselle," Kyoya agreed as he suddenly appeared beside the two of them, holding a cherry blossom branch between his fingers. "All beauty is fleeting. Just take a look at these cherry blossoms. You'll never be able to see them this vibrant again."

"And that's why I've compiled a picture book that contains photos that capture the beauty of each passing day." Kyoya swiftly produced a photo book with the Hitachiin twins on the front cover.

Susumu gawked when Kyoya pulled out three more photo books-oddly excluding Kyoya himself-with one having of Haruhi and Susumu on the front cover.

"Incidentally, I've prepared similar books of the other hosts as well." Kyoya smiled charmingly at the two girls. "And if you ladies are interested in collecting all four of them, I'll discount the full set for you."

The two girls yanked out their wallets.

"I'll take them!"

"Me too, please!"

Susumu rubbed his eyes, hoping it was a trick of the light. He had to blink a few times to truly realize that photos of him in that book were in fact genuine, and illegally taken. Susumu was distracted by someone slapping his shoulder, and when he turned around a picture was shoved in his face.

"I was ripped off! These are filled with nothing but

"But I didn't see Ootori-san hand out a photo book of himself."

"That's my point! I need photos of Ootori-san for my photo collection, but I can't get any!" Nozomi crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. The way she looked upset made him want to cheer her up.

"Draw Ootori-san!"

Because of her pleading eyes, Susumu didn't have it in him to say no.

"You'll have to give me a reference, later." He was tackled in a tight hug right after.

"You're such a great friend, Susumu! You're the best!" Nozomi cheered.

"Nozomi, I can't-I can't breathe!"

"I love you too!"

"I feel inspired to draw these cherry blossoms," Susumu admired the pretty color scheme of the cherry blossoms. He caught the pink petals moving with the gentle breeze that scattered the said flowers all over the flower-viewing reception.

"I'd like to see that," Haruhi said as she absorbed the sweet feeling of being underneath the cherry blossoms.

"Haruhi, how are you doing? Are you having a good time?"

"Tamaki-senpai..."

"The flower-viewing reception is going over quite well," Tamaki noted, "But even so, it's rather daunting to spent more time being admired than doing the admiring."

"Oh wow, Senpai, you're blooming in more ways than one," Haruhi remarked.

"You noticed! Yes, today my beauty is quite splendorous, I'm in full bloom," Tamaki agreed, sending her a flirty wink, "I bet you'll fall for me soon."

"So, Haruhi, have you chosen your electives for this term?" the twins asked Haruhi, wrapping their arms around her shoulders.

"No, I haven't," She answered.

"How about Conversational French?" Koaru suggested.

"Hmm, good question," Haruhi read the other class options.

"I think the three of us should take it together," Hikaru said. "It makes perfect sense..."

"We are in the same class," The twins stated, looking over their shoulders and flashing grins at Tamaki.

Tamaki was now crouched by a nearby tree.

"Say, Kaa-san..."

"What is it now, Otou-san?" Kyoya replied in a teasing tone.

"I have a new theory. I mean, it's just my hypothesis, but it seems that by being in the same class, Hikaru and Kaoru are able to spend more time with Haruhi than I get to here at the club," Tamaki told Kyoya. "This gives them a chance to get close to her, and if that happens..."

"Tamaki, you just now realized that?"

Kyoya directed Tamaki's attention to the chart on Kyoya's left that he addressed as the twins' chart. "According to my research, in a single day, the twins spend roughly nine hours of class time with Haruhi." Kyoya tapped a pointing stick on Tamaki's chart. "Meanwhile, your contact with her is limited to a couple of hours of club activities."

He turned to Tamaki and said, "In other words, your involvement in Haruhi's life each day amounts to no more than a mere three percent."

Tamaki didn't want to hear what his friend was saying, so he covered his ears.

Susumu bent in front of the chart to fix his eyes on the left chart. "There is another way, Suoh-san could always talk to Haruhi through me."

"Are you comfortable with that?" Kyoya asked.

"I'm starting to think if both of us try to get to know our schoolmates, we'll all better understand each other," Susumu replied.

Interest flickered in his gray eyes behind the glasses sitting on his nose. Kyoya snuck a quick glance at his classmate with brown hair thoughtfully looking over Tamaki's chart. Before, he turned away and ignored classmates trying to make a conversation with him, and they reluctantly left him alone. And just now he said that if others were willing to open up to him, this usually reserved boy would push past his shyness and let someone in. 'Shatter the wall around him, so to speak,' Kyoya thought, as he jotted down his newly discovered observations.

"You don't have to rush things, she'll be found out soon enough," Hikaru said.

"Physical exams are the day after tomorrow," Koaru reminded.

"Physical exams?" Haruhi repeated.

"That's right, I forgot all about it," Kyoya said as he continued to write without lifting his eyes off the page.

Susumu didn't expect Kyoya to forget something important. Well, he himself doesn't have a good memory, and forgot to write the date for the physical examination on the calender at home. Since physical exams are around the corner, that meant...

"They're gonna know I'm really a girl," Haruhi said.

Susumu flipped through his sketchbook with no idea on what to draw.

"Envious, Hikaru?" He lifted his eyes and spotted Tamaki holding up an index finger. "This is all part of my strategy. While you've wasted time blinded by your jealousy, I've foreseen the outcome of this charade. This fanfiction is obviously a romantic school comedy. Haruhi and I are the main characters, so that means we are love interests."

"Yeah, then what are we?" the twins questioned.

"You boys," Tamaki said as he pointed a finger at the hosts in front of him, "are the homosexual supporting cast!"

Susumu felt the color drain from his face. He held on to his sketchbook tightly, almost ruining the pages by how tightly he was gripping it. His head dropped and his bangs partly covered the fear in his wide eyes. And all that was written down in a black notebook by the dark haired host wearing glasses.

"Actually, Tamaki, your romance is merely the side story," Kyoya calmly corrected, "though you are correct in this being a fanfiction. It's intended to be a romantic dramatic story between the true main characters with a romantic subplot between you and Haruhi. It was addressed in the disclaimer."

"So, if Haruhi and I aren't the main characters anymore," Tamaki paused, "who are they?"

"What kind of romantic story is this, Kyo-chan?" Honey asked.

"It will be revealed in due time." Kyoya smirked knowingly. "Let's allow our curiosity to grow for a bit."

"Hey boss, I don't think you get it," Koaru interrupted.

Honey hugged his stuffed bunny tighter. "If word gets out that Haru-chan is really a girl, then she won't be able to be in the host club any more!" At this, Tamaki's face blanked.

"But, if Haru-chan started wearing girl's clothes, I bet she'd be cuter than she is now!" Honey chirped.

"She dressed like a regular girl when she was in middle school, right? She must've been pretty popular with all the boys," Hikaru thought aloud.

"Yeah. According to my investigative report, someone would declare their undying love to her at least once a month," Kyoya confirmed.

"Oh, I see," Koaru said. "So the boss wouldn't even be able to get close to her."

Susumu disagreed. That's wrong. Tamaki can still spend time with Haruhi when I'm around. He unfortunately hadn't mentioned it to Tamaki, yet.

Hikaru smirked. "But we'd be able to because we're in class with her all day long."

Tamaki didn't want to believe what the group was saying, but he couldn't shy away from the truth.

"Hey guys," Haruhi interrupted, conveniently entering the room, "sorry I'm so late."

Tamaki immediately grabbed Haruhi by the shoulders. "Don't you worry, Haruhi! We're determined to keep your secret. No one will find out that you're really a girl during tomorrow's physical exams, so please, promise you'll stay our beloved secret princess."

Haruhi blinked. "Sure."

I said I wanted to handle our debt on my own. Susumu thought seriously. I know what she said. Susumu was yanked over to a white board. Tamaki took charge of the operation and tapped at things written on the whiteboard. But she doesn't need to worry about me-I can manage.The twins saluted in response. Looking it over with a serious expression, Susumu had to step in before the discussion ended. She set out to accomplish her own goals. He bravely stood behind the hosts gathered round the white board with hands placed on his sides. I won't let my mistake get in the way of that.Susumu took in a large gulp of air and exhaled.

"Excuse me." Susumu called the attention to himself. "I want Haruhi to be freed from the host club, and I want you to put the entire debt onto me-or I can reveal Haruhi's secret to the entire school. I promise to do that. And I never break my promises-it's my golden rule."

The twins slapped their foreheads. "He's a threat in our operation."

"How can this quiet side character have a fire in him?" Tamaki growled.

"Onii-chan, we already talked about this." Haruhi put her hand on his shoulder.

"No," Susumu raised his voice, as he shrugged her off, casting his eyes on the hosts once again, "you don't need to hide your gender because of me. You have me-I promise I'll pay it off somehow."

"That's enough." Kyoya interrupted. "Clearly the whole blame cannot be placed on you-Haruhi had made no attempt at catching the vase." Haruhi felt a lot of shame hit her. Kyoya continued, as he pushed up his glasses, "As means of negotiation, there are various art supply stores that have high quality art supplies and a stock of the best rated sketchbooks. Naturally, it's all out of your price range but if you cooperate with us, we can help." Kyoya sent a chilling smirk to Susumu. Susumu froze.

"Extinguished," The twins said together, as they made pistols with their fingers and shot at the air.

The following day, Hikaru, Koaru and Haruhi walked with their class to the physical examination.

"So, what's the deal with this formation A thing you guys were talking about?" Haruhi questioned. "What do they do during physical exams here at Ouran anyway?"

"It's no different than a physical exam you'd get at any other school," Hikaru replied.

"Yeah, why would a physical exam be any different for us just because we're rich?" Koaru added, as he walked ahead of Haruhi.

"I didn't think about it that way," she voiced her thinking aloud, as she kept her gaze on the twins, as she pushed the doors open, the rest of class 1-A following her.

"What is all this?" Haruhi asked, as her shoulders dropped slightly, finding the scene in front of her to be unbelievable. Two rows of identical doctors and nurses all greeted the students simultaneously, and began to approach select students to take them to their physical examination.

The Hitachiin twins walked past her. "Just another physical exam," Hikaru stated plainly.

"The usual," Koaru added as he looked at her over his shoulder, as he walked past her.

Two nurses approached the twins and promptly escorted them to get their heights measured, leaving Haruhi by herself. But then a different nurse approached Haruhi.

"Fujioka-sama, I'm your nurse for the physical exams this afternoon. Please, come this way." The nurse took a hold of her wrist and gently led Haruhi past the many curtains set up in the room. Haruhi stopped when she spotted Mori and Honey, wearing lab coats and odd big glasses and looking completely out of place. They both shushed her when Haruhi questioned her upperclassmen.

Kyoya appeared next to Haruhi suddenly. "I've got those two for back up just in case something happens."

"But why are they in doctor disguises?" Haruhi asked.

"They're just helping to set the mood." Kyoya adjusted his glasses before adding on. "Disguises make our operation feel like a real espionage mission."

Out of the blue, her older brother suddenly appeared behind her, catching Haruhi off guard.

"Wow, Shiramine-sam, you've lost two whole kilograms since this time last year." Haruhi overheard a doctor say to a student.

"It's so good to hear. I thought for sure I was heavier," the female student replied.

"Not at all. Keep it up, and you'll be even healthier next year," said the doctor.

"Don't you think it's weird that these doctors are so jovial and nice?" Haruhi asked.

"Their chosen by the school's chairman," Kyoya replied. "This may be a school, but it's also a business. Therefore, he wants to keep the students happy, after all, most of the students that attend Ouran Academy come from prominent families that have their own private doctors at home. So this is just a formality."

Pondering a thought, Haruhi turned around and directed her gaze to her brother pocketing his hand. "Doesn't this bother you?"

Susumu looked around at the various doctors acting friendly to and encouraging the students and let the nice atmosphere sink in. "I never felt bothered by it."

"He's been caught in their net," Haruhi mumbled, as she walked away, lowering her gaze to the floor.

When left alone together, a doctor bumped into Kyoya.

"I-I'm terribly sorry," he apologized.

"No problem."

He glanced back at the doctor. "Huh."

Kyoya looked around and noticed that Susumu disappeared on him. He sighed irritably. "Avoiding me again."

A nurse motioned towards the cream coloured curtain. "Hitachiin brothers, we're ready to do your chest measurements. You can use the area behind the curtain to undress."

Hikaru began to slip off his shirt. "Doesn't matter to me."

"We're not shy," Kaoru said as he also took off his shirt. "Who needs a curtain?"

High pitched squeals erupted in the clinic.

Some of the girls put their noses into hankies that turned scarlet red, and others waved their white hankies in the air. Haruhi stared blankly at the commotion, as a few of the female students used their phones to take pictures.

Kyoya watched the scene in front of him with a smile on his face. "See, Haruhi. A rather impressive turnout today. Physical exam day is quite popular with the ladies."

"What's wrong with the girls at this school?" Haruhi complained.

"I won't allow it." Hikaru grabbed the other's shoulders. "I won't let those doctors touch you, Kaoru."

Koaru chuckled. "You don't seem to have a problem touching me when we play doctor at home. I can't get you to stop tickling me and toying with my body."

As Haruhi failed to understand why those twins needed to put on an act wherever they went, she was suddenly pushed into a changing room.

Her body could not react in time when she found herself hitting a male student's body and his arms encircled her smaller frame.

He leaned in close to her ear, ticking her earlobe with the release of his warm breath

"I've been waiting for you, my princess." whispered the familiar voice of her Senpai in a soft tone.

Haruhi stumbled back after she was released, falling flat on her bottom.

"Tamaki-senpai," she mumbled. "A little warning would've been nice."

Tamaki fought the urge to smile at her cute pout. "Haruhi, I wanted to surprise you, not upset you."

"You did surprise me."

He smiled, "You're cute when you're surprised." At this, Haruhi's lips parted, as she looked into his violet eyes.

After Tamaki reassured her and told her to relax, he exited the changing room. But not before looking back at her with a warm smile on his face. "I promise to protect you no matter what." he promised. "Rely on me, my princess."

Outside of the changing room, Kyoya got pushed for the second time today.

Kyoya swiftly grabbed the culprit's right wrist with his left hand and jerked the struggling culprit backwards, as he tried to escape. "I found you."

Susumu struggled to free himself. "You told me to find somewhere to hide," he justified, as he struggled some more. Susumu was not okay with the large role he was meant to play in the operation, and Kyoya decided to use that to his advantage. No one is immune to bribery, the saying goes-now that heavy feeling of embarrassment was weighing down on him, at the memory of the sketch pencils offered to him in exchange for his cooperation, as he squinted his eyes when Kyoya's firm grasp on his wrist tightened.

"I told you to stay out of Tamaki's sight." It didn't mean he had to get angry over it.

"I am." Susumu wished his voice didn't come out so meek and timid. "But using a person for a revenge scheme is dark and devious. It's wrong."

There was a hint of a reaction on his face, and then Kyoya unravelled his fingers around the other's wrist. His left hand plunged into his pocket.

He looked away and focused on the group of ladies impatiently waiting to see Haruhi. "I can take those sketch pencils off the table." Kyoya didn't hesitate to say.

Susumu tried to recover from his mistake, stumbling on his words during his apology, "I'm sorry, but I was only being honest!"

"Fujioka-sama, it's time for us to take your chest measurement," the nurse informed. "Once you've finished disrobing, would you please come with me?"

The curtain drew back, revealing Tamaki wearing a brown wig. "I am Fujioka Haruhi."

The girls fell silent before cupping their hands on the sides of their mouths, and they all passed on whispers to each other.

"Tamaki-sama?"

"Is this some Haruhi-kun cosplay?"

"This is a joke, right?"

"If it's a joke, I'm not laughing."

The twins clutched their sides, bursting out into laughter.

"I can't believe he actually did it," Hikaru said in between laughs.

"They recognize him! I told you he'd see through it!" Koaru pounded his fist on the air.

Tamaki threw off the wig, and then grabbed Hikaru by the neck."You jerks!" He shouted in Hikaru's face. "You said there was no way the girls would be able to tell it was me!"

Hikaru held a wide grin on his face. "It's payback for calling us the homo-sexual supporting cast."

Tamaki caught Susumu at the end of his fumbled apology and shouted at him. "You strayed from your post! I had to take your place!"

Susumu had to give out another apology.

"I'm sorry," Tamaki apologized timidly to Haruhi as he poked his head into the changing room, "they figured it out."

Haruhi used leeron Tamaki. It's super effective.

Kyoya slightly draped his hand on Haruhi's shoulder. "Haruhi, I went ahead and set up a separate room for you-a special boy's clinic-and I have a doctor standing by sworn to secrecy."

"It turns out the doctors here today are all on staff at one of Kyoya-senpai's family's hospitals," Hikaru told the group.

"Would've been nice if he had said something to us earlier," Koaru said.

"I had to get my revenge too." Kyoya smiled. "I'm sorry, I just don't think I'm supporting cast, homosexual or otherwise."

Hikaru glanced at Susumu and had to ask, "You know, Susumu-senpai, it's pretty out of character for you to join forces with Kyoya-senpai."

Haruhi shook her head, as her brother struggled to form a response. She already picked up on it, and stated the only reason he would lower his wall, and do what Kyoya instructed.

"Kyoya-senpai bribed you, didn't he?" Haruhi has a smile tugging on her lips, as Susumu tries to hide the embarrassed look on his face, evidence that proved she was right.

"How did you figure it out?" He was quick to ask.

Haruhi cocked her head slightly and smiled. "I know you-that's why." Susumu couldn't disagree with her smiling face.

"Nozomi-senpai?" Haruhi asked, as she stopped walking when she spotted Nozomi waiting at the door to the special boys clinic. "What are you doing here?"

"Up till now, I've been neglected by the author," Nozomi only shrugged, "but who am I to complain? I'm just a side character." Nozomi approached Haruhi with her hands clasped behind her head and smiled. "Still, we need to have a talk girl-girl," she said as she pointed at both Haruhi and herself.

"Huh." Haruhi had to process what her Senpai had said just now. "How did you find out?"

"I've seen so many girl cross dresses anime, so I could tell right off the bat," Nozomi held a proud look on her face as she explained, as she rested a hand on her hip.

"We were looking for a room to study in, and we ended up in the music room," Haruhi explained. "Then, Onii-chan broke an eight million yen vase, and we earned a debt."

"Ah, I get it," Nozomi said, looking off to the side, and then she entered into her own thoughts. "'Cause he never seemed like the kind of guy who wanted attention."

"We went to the same middle school," Haruhi mentioned. "He was like that back then."

"Well, character development doesn't happen overnight," Nozomi stated.

"I'll be there for him when he needs me," Haruhi assured.

Nozomi draped one arm around Haruhi's shoulders. "By the way, Haruhi, your secret is safe with me." Nozomi grinned and poked the girl's cheek. "I can see why Susumu said you were nice and accepting."

Haruhi swatted the other's hand away before asking, "He really said that?"

"Yeah, he did!" And then Nozomi pushed Haruhi into the special boys clinic. "Get in there, Haruhi!"

Once back in the clinic, Nozomi spotted a girl down on her knees with students and a few doctors gathered around her.

"I'm telling the truth. One of the doctors grabbed me by my shoulder," she cried with her face in her hands. "He was trying to make a pass at me. I've never been so terrified."

Nozomi hastily jogged over to the hosts. "What's going on here?"

"Nozomi," Susumu immediately approached her and explained in his own words, "A student claims a doctor advanced on her."

"I had a feeling this might happen," Kyoya said as he cupped his chin. "A bit earlier today, I saw a strange man, wearing a lab coat, but clearly not one of our hospitals' doctors."

"Shouldn't you have said something sooner?" the twins rose their voices at him.

"Well, it's no big deal, I'm sure the security guard will catch him."

"Tell me, miss, did you happen to notice where the pervert doctor was headed?"

"Yes, sir," she nodded, "he ran off towards the special boy's clinic."

Everyone turned to stone. "Haruhi!"

"I just left her a few minutes ago," Nozomi said as she pointed her thumb over her shoulder.

Tamaki was wide-eyed. "How do you know Haruhi's a-"

"That's not important right now," Nozomi interrupted. She already had the lead on the boys. "Hurry up!"

"Tama-chan kick!" Tamaki kicked the man, launching him at the wall.

"One, good looks that attract the public eye," the twins said, glaring at the strange man.

"Two," Kyoya stepped into the light with a menacing look in his eyes. "More wealth than you can imagine."

Susumu leered at the man who had dared to touch his younger sister. "Scattering kindness upon this world."

"Chivalry that will never be able to overlook," Mori started with a deadly look.

Honey finished, as a pitch black shadow cast over his face, "The hideous wickedness of this world."

Nozomi pushed past the boys. "Finding allies in the unlikeliest of places."

"That's what makes up the Ouran Host Club." Tamaki draped his white shirt over Haruhi's head and pulled her closer to him.

"We are here! Watch out!"

The old man trembled and surrendered himself, on his knees in fear. "Please, don't hurt me! Spare me my life!"

Haruhi looked at everyone.

"And the author lets this guy tell his life story," Nozomi complained.

"I'm a doctor. I have a small emergency medical clinic that I run in the next town over. My name is Yabu," Yabu told them.

"Did he say his name is Yabu?" Hikaru asked.

"What a terrible name for a doctor," Koaru said.

The twins face each other. "Unless you're a quack."

Yabu explained what had happened to him. In short, one month ago, his wife and daughter left him because he could not manage their money properly. After being pelted by rain, and wandering the streets, he had come to the school in search of his daughter, but when he had tried to question a young lady about his daughter's whereabouts, she had screamed in fright and he fled.

Tamaki and Yabu were both sobbing.

"How awful," Susumu whispered.

"That's so tragic!" Tamaki cried, tears were pouring from his eyes.

"Doctor Yabu, I think you may have the wrong place," Kyoya interrupted. "Are you looking for Ourin public high school?"

"Yeah, that's right," Yabu confirmed.

"I figured out that might be the case," Kyoya said. "This is Ouran academy, a private institution. Your daughter doesn't go to school here."

Hikaru crossed his arms over his chest. "Man, that's pretty sad. You don't even know what school your daughter goes to?"

"I bet your relationship is messed up because you don't pay attention to her, not because of some stupid debt," Koaru said.

Nozomi scoffed. "Says the club who forced these two into a stupid debt." At that, Tamaki became baffled.

"How does she know?!" he shouted.

Honey looked up at Kyoya, impressed. "Wow, Kyo-chan, I'm impressed that you figured out he had the wrong school."

"Well, there's no way the daughter of such a small time doctor would ever be able to get into Ouran Academy." Due to Kyoya's choice of words, Haruhi glowered at him irritably.

"Kyoya, would you please find a map of all the public school in this area?" Tamaki asked, "I'd like to help this man find his daughter."

"Whatever you say," Kyoya said.

"Are you sure about this?" Hikaru asked.

"After all, even if he does manage to find his daughter, there's no guarantee she'll wanna speak to him," Koaru said.

"Well, that's just something he'll have to find out for himself," Tamaki said.

"I'm sorry about this, you guys, but could you please leave?" Haruhi asked.

"Haruhi, are you still angry with me? You aren't thinking of quitting the host club, are you?"

"Don't be stupid, Senpai, I've just gotta finish my physical exam, as a male student, of course," Haruhi said, "Uh, but let me explain. I'm not doing this because you're bribing me with food," She smiled at Susumu. "I'm doing it to pay back our debt."

"You're so cute, Haruhi!" Tamaki hugged Haruhi. "I can see right through you. I know you're just after that fancy tuna, but it's so cute that you're pretending."

"Cut it out, Senpai," Haruhi shouted, reaching out for Susumu's hands. "Hey, don't touch me there!"

"Red card!" the twins shouted.

"Looks like Tamaki senpai," Hikaru said.

"Is the real pervert," Koaru finished.

"Release!" Susumu struggled to pry Haruhi ought of Tamaki's hold on her.

"Who cares?! Would you guys just get out of here?!"

Urged to leave by the doctor, all those who had intruded on Haruhi's physical exam now stood outside in the corridor.

"Did anyone ever find out who the main characters are, or what kind of story this is?" Honey suddenly remembered.

The boys were all silent and Nozomi sighed, slapping a hand on her face. Her hand slid down, revealing the nasty look in her eyes. "Geez, I thought some of the readers wouldn't read the disclaimer, but not the characters. Out of everybody here, Kyoya and I are the only ones who know the truth."

Nozomi placed a hand on her hip as she looked at every boy in front of her. "I can't give you all the details, 'cause that would ruin the whole point of the suspense."

"Going to keep us in the dark?" Hikaru asked.

"That's cold, Nozomi-senpai. You could at least give us something," Koaru said.

Nozomi jabbed her thumb at Kyoya. "He brings it up, refuses to tell you, and has you guessing the entire chapter, while tkaing pleasure in it! And you say I'm the one leaving you in the dark? ...well, you might as well know this story is a boys love! Pretty great, right?!"

"Yaoi?!" Tamaki shouted.

"Yaoi?!" Hikaru shouted.

"Why would you read one?!" Koaru shouted.

"'Cause I like to see boys together, duh!" Nozomi stuck out her tongue.

"Fujoshi!" The three boys cried.

"You know who the main characters are, Nozo-chan?" Honey asked.

"I wasn't able to read the disclaimer, so I'd like to know who they are, too," Susumu said.

"No, Honey-senpai!"

"No, Susumu-senpai!"

"Don't ask!"

"Sorry, but their names are in the description-and I didn't read the description!" Nozomi hid her giggles behind her hand.

Tamaki sighed. "Side characters are harder to handle than I thought."

Nozomi elbowed Kyoya after she calmed down. "Like Kyoya said, we'll have to let our curiosity grow!"

Kyoya smirked."You are correct."
