Okay! I'm really excited about this chapter… probably because the next one is my first Ouran theater. *Grins*

To answer a question I got in the reviews: After Jin revealed how she knew Hunny and Mori, they explained the basic storyline on her being an Honorary Haninozuka, basically how they first explained it in my last story.

Also, I've decided to add in 'extra chapters' either wherever I feel the need to implement my own personal story lines or whenever the manga adds a 'Love Theater' that doesn't coincide with the Host Club. Those who have read the manga know what I'm talking about.

Thank you to emryspotterjackson, stolyint, Momochan77, darkangelynn5, starrat, Denpa-chu, queenglitch, and a guest for your reviews! I adore your enthusiasm for this story!

Disclaimer: I own Jin and she's wonderful!

Extra Episode: Hunny's Bun-Bun

Thud!

Ting!

Splish!

The moment the teacup turned on its side, Jin ran forward to reset it, but by then it was too late. Tamaki recoiled from the other side of the table, staring at his mess in abject terror. Gently, Jin reached out and lifted a soaking wet Bun-Bun out of the puddle of tea. His cute little face was doused with the stuff, and his fluffy body had already absorbed quite a bit of the liquid.

For a brief moment, no one said a word, simply assessing in the situation.

"We've done it now…"

"We?"

"Who said anything about we?"

"You're the one who upset the cup, Milord. We aren't involved."

Jin raised an eyebrow as the twins and Tamaki began arguing over who's fault it was for staining the poor stuffed animal. Deciding to just let them hash it out, she grabbed a few napkins from the table and started dabbing at the bunny.

From just behind her, a low voice sighed before saying, "It's outside business hours, so I don't mind you guys horsing around so much, but do you have to be so loud? You might wake Hunny-senpai."

Boy, that sure got them. Everyone turned to face the small blond who was still fast asleep on a nearby couch, cuddled under a pale blue sheet. Jin smirked to herself before holding up the stuffed rabbit and getting a second look. The staining wasn't all that bad… after a dry cleaning he'd be good as new. The trick came from breaking the news to Hunny.

"Well, we can't possibly fix his bunny right now, so let's just wake him and apologize…"

"NO!"

Jin frantically spun around, setting the bunny on a dry part of the table before running at her sister. Before Haruhi could touch the sleeping boy, her sister grabbed her arm.

"That's not a good idea, Haru."

"Why?"

"He's a grouchy riser."

"Yeah! Listen to your sister! Now get back here where it's safe!"

Once they were a decent distance away from Hunny, Jin released her sister's elbow and went back to observing the stuffed bunny. He was drying off nicely, but still smelled of tea and had a large stain on his face.

"I take it you're coming up with a way to fix this complication?"

"Yeah. He just needs to be sent to a Dry Cleaners and he'll be good as new. But that usually takes up to 24 hours, so we'd need to tell Hunny-kun about it first." She suddenly shot a glare in Kyoya's direction, "And don't think I don't know what you're doing, Ohtori. I stand by what I said yesterday."

She was, of course, referring to Kyoya's poor attempt at bridging the gap of dislike he'd set up about twenty minutes after they had first met.

*Flashback*

"Miss Fujioka?"

Jin straightened up, a pile of used and slightly damp towels piled up in her arms as she watched Kyoya walk closer. She raised an eyebrow and dumped the laundry into a nearby basket. Internally, she wondered what he could possibly want to talk to her about this time. Perhaps how her 'lack of control' had almost cost him a business partner, or inform her that the costs of the camera were to be added to her debt. None of the possibilities looked good.

But instead, he surprised her.

Kyoya stood in front of her and performed a small bow, "I must apologize, Miss Fujioka, for my previous words towards you. I understand now why you found them so offensive."

"Wait… what?"

The boy straightened up, "At the Christmas party, I called you a 'commoner' and have since continued to group you in with that stereotype. I was not aware of your connection to the Haninozuka family."

"Right… let me stop you right there."

"Pardon?"

Jin crossed her arms, leaning her weight onto her left leg, "You're right. That 'commoner' comment is the reason I got mad at you in the first place. Because unlike the other rich people I've met, you were the first one who used that word on me as an insult. You are no better than I am just because you have a cushier bank account." She turned around to walk away, paused, and then glanced over her left shoulder, "On that note: who I know, or don't know, shouldn't affect how you treat me as a person either. Apologizing just because I'm basically family for Hunny-kun and Mori-kun is not going to win you any points with me. Just so you know."

*End Flashback*

Kyoya didn't respond in any way other than pressing his lips into a thin line, but Jin was already focusing back on the matter at hand. She had walked over to break her decision to the boys when she heard their reasoning for Hunny's less-than-pleasant reaction to being woken up.

"...and here's the kicker: Hunny-senpai's blood is type AB! A split personality!"

"Uh… not exactly."

"But that's the same as Kyoya's!"

Jin almost laughed out loud when her sister fell over herself backing up, actual fear shining in her eyes. She knew that from that point on, Haruhi would never see someone with AB blood the same. Behind her, Kyoya muttered something, probably not entirely pleased with the comparison, but once again she ignored him.

Lightly nudging her little sister with her knee, Jin tilted her head to the side, "Guys, you can relax. We can get Bun-Bun cleaned easily… without using a medium to contact Hunny-kun's grandmother." Tamaki lowered the map in his hands in disappointment, "But it's going to take a while to clean him up, so we have to find a way to gently break the news to him."

On the other side of the room, Hunny turned over in his sleep, the sound sending chills down the Host Club's spines.

Tamaki leapt to his feet, "That settles it then! Jin! You and Mori-senpai take Bun-Bun away to get cleaned. And while you're away… Haruhi! Put on this bunny suit."

The sisters exchanged a glance with each other before Jin hesitantly held out her left arm towards Haruhi. The younger brunette pinched it before offering her own arm, which Jin pinched in kind.

Nope. They weren't dreaming.

With that reassurance, Haruhi turned and ran. Of course, she didn't get far before Tamaki shot his arm out and caught her by the back of her jacket. Jin attempted to cut in and allow her sister to escape, but with a wet Bun-bun in her arms and not wanting to stain her own uniform, she had to keep a distance. Besides, Hunny made a small sound that sounded like 'waking-up' noises.

"Tamaki! Haru! Keep it down!"

They didn't listen. Or couldn't hear her over their own shouting.

"Guys!"

Too late.

"Mmmmah…" Hunny groggily sat up and rubbed at his eyes, his blond hair a crazed mess from his tossing and turning. There was a cow lick on the back of his head that would've been cute if the Hosts weren't worried for their safety at the moment.

Faster than Jin could remember seeing him move before, Tamaki released her sister and bolted towards Hunny, grabbing something out of his school bag and delicately tossing it onto the 3rd-year's lap before running back behind the couch. She watched as her friend slowly opened his eyes and stare at the fluffy brown teddy bear now resting on top of his blanket. The twins were snickering, but were otherwise too nervous to really tease Tamaki about having a stuffed animal.

There were five consecutive seconds of silence where they all waited for Hunny's sleepy verdict.

FWUMP!

Tamaki stifled a high pitched scream as his teddy bear was slammed onto the tiled floor. Slowly, Hunny dragged himself off the couch and started walking over to the table he'd left his stuffed bunny on, blanket dragging along behind him.

Of course, Bun-Bun was still in Jin's hands.

Hunny looked over at the others, his eyes pressed into a sleepy squint, "Where's… Bun-Bun?"

Taking in a deep breath, Jin walked over to her friend and offered the stained toy. He took it, regarding the dark tea that had soaked into his beloved bunny before looking up at the brunette almost uncomprehendingly, but Jin knew he was simply holding back his rage.

"How'd he get... dirty?" Behind her, she could hear Tamaki and the twins whimpering in fear. Oh man… they're never going to leave me alone after this. But it's not like I have another option.

She sighed, "It was my fault, Hunny-kun. He wanted some tea and I was clumsy and spilled over him."

In the resulting silence of her lie, you could've heard a pin drop.

"I see! So that's why his face stained! Oh, but it's okay, Jin-chan, you were so nice and it was an honest mistake!" Hunny giggled before lifting the stuffed rabbit into the air like a Lion King reenactment, "He probably needs to go get washed, but before I take him do you think he'd like some cake, too?"

Jin smiled, "I bet he would. You go find yourselves a table and I'll get the cake."

"Yay~" Hunny bounded off with a big smile on his face, not even sparing the others a glance. Therefore, he completely missed the mixed expressions of horror, gratitude, and awe as Jin sighed once again.

"Well, I'm glad that went better than last time."

Tamaki slowly sunk to his knees, quickly followed by the twins, "W-what happened last time?"

"He didn't believe that I was the one who made the mess. Thankfully he believed that Mori-kun did." Jin pressed her hands to the small of her back and stretched, "Now, while I'm getting the cake I promised, can one of you boys clean up the tea?"

The twins scrambled back to their feet, using Tamaki's face as a way to haul themselves up before springing into action. The tall blond was right behind them, the three shouting at each other that they'd be the one to clean up the mess first.

Jin smirked and went to walk towards the kitchen when she was stopped.

"Why did you lie for them?"

Brushing past Kyoya, the brunette slipped her hands into her pockets and shrugged, "Why not?" She knew Kyoya was staring at her as she continued to walk away, but she didn't look back at him.

Again, she was sticking to her word. Empty apologies weren't going to win any points from her... but if Kyoya could figure out how to act like a decent person and an actual friend who wasn't using the other's for their influence... perhaps she could grow to tolerate him. But until then, he needed to see how friends behave around each other. And like it or not, Jin was the best one for that job.

Oh, joy.

Yeah, in the anime this was put into an actual episode, but for the sake of consistency I'm writing in the manga's order.

Also, sticking with Jin's character, she is angry and cold towards Kyoya for his higher-than-thou attitude, but has yet to give up on him being a good person, especially if she has to be around him all the time. To clarify, she's not trying to 'change' him, if he's an asshole she'll give up (even though we know he's not) but she's trying to show him what she believes friends do for each other.

On a couple side notes, I'm completely obsessed with the new Beauty and the Beast movie, especially Lefou's new character arc, and I've joined the Thomas Sanders fandom in shipping Prinxiety and Logicality and I've even written a fic. It's on AO3 under my same pen name, if you want to check it out.
