Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club, its characters or plot. I own my OCs. I also don't own any songs mentioned in the story.

Again there's a acoustic version of a song in this.

Here's the end of the link for this song version: watch?v=noibT5VkKGo

Kaede walked with her guitar case strapped to her back as she carried her school bag. She had to take the bus to get to her neighborhood. She turned a corner and headed to a small house with a side garage. She entered a code for the garage and the door slowly rose with a loud clanging sound. As soon as it was high enough she ducked under. She stood up and was met with blue eyes only a few inches in front of her.

"Oi! Kae, you're late!" Kaede jerked back from the red-head in her face. The boy, Sora, leaned back with his arms crossed and pouted childishly. "What took you so long?" he whined.

"Sorry guys." Kaede said as she scratched the back of her head and looked around the garage at the other two boys. Akira walked over from his spot leaning against the wall. He was the same height as Sora – even though Sora's hair made him look like he was a few inches taller – with brown hair and green eyes.

"What happened?" Akira asked putting his hands on his hips. "We were starting to get worried. Though puff ball here was worried when you didn't show up after five minutes." Akira said looking at Sora who pouted more and tried to hold his hair down. The third boy, Ren, stood up from his spot behind the drum set. He walked up behind the other two making them look tiny in comparison.

"Don't act like you weren't pacing around the whole time." He said in a deep voice as he flicked the back of Akira's head. Akira put his hands on his head and frowned up at the older boy. Ren turned his gaze to Kaede. "Where were you?"

"I was at school with Haru; she had to stay after cause she got roped into joining a club."

"What club?" Sora asked curiously. Kaede hesitated.

I can't exactly tell them Haruhi was forced to join a host club. Kaede thought.

"Just a club with a bunch of weird guys who entertain other students." Kaede said nonchalantly as she waved a hand dismissively.

"A bunch of guys?" Akira asked.

"Entertain?" Ren asked. Sora blinked and looked between the other two boys.

"Uh… weird?" He asked not knowing what else there was to ask.

"Uh speaking of that club though…" Kaede said as she walked around the boys. "they want me to play guitar for them and they offered to promote the band." she said, ignoring their questions, with a smile.

"What do they do exactly?" Akira asked as the three turned to face her. Kaede sighed.

"Look they're just a bunch of… interesting guys that pretty much spend club hours entertaining girls by talking to them." The three gave her weird looks.

"Talking to them? What kind of club is that?" Sora asked.

"Can we forget what kind of club it is for a second and get to the part where we discuss me playing for them."

"Why do they need you to play for them?" Akira asked.

"Their vice-president said it would make more people come to their club."

"This club is every day after school, right?" Akira asked crossing his arms.

"Uh…Yeah."

"We practice every day after school. Or did you forget?" Ren asked.

"Guys they're offering to promote the band."

"Oh yay." Akira deadpanned.

"I can always leave halfway through to come here." Kaede said.

"But then we have less time to practice." Sora whined.

"How about we practice on weekends then?" Kaede looked at Akira. "I know you and Ren have part-time jobs but after that we'd have the rest of the day."

"Why are you so keen on playing for those rich pricks?" Akira grumbled. Kaede gave him a half glare.

"You don't even know them yet."

"Then we should meet them." Akira said with smirk. Kaede rolled her eyes.

"Okay listen, I'm doing it to help Haruhi."

"It's her fault if she joined the club, you shouldn't have to help her." Akira said with a frown. Kaede put a hand on her forehead and sighed.

"Okay sit down, this might take a while." She said.

Kaede explained Haruhi's situation about knocking over the vase, her debt and becoming a host. She also had to explain the host club and how they thought Haruhi was a boy. When asked why she didn't tell them otherwise Kaede said that it was up to Haruhi whether or not they were corrected, it wasn't Kaede's place to say anything. Akira and Ren didn't like the idea of Kaede working for boys who ran a host club but she managed to convince them to let her in order to help Haruhi who was also one of their friends.

They compromised that they would limit practice to two week days and the weekend. When Kaede went to school the next day and saw Kyoya he agreed to let Kaede leave early two days out of the week unless they had club meetings.

Kaede sat on a couch playing The Heart Wants What it Wants by Selena Gomez while humming the words. Two girls sat on either side of her as she played, swaying to the music. On the end table next to the couch was a pad and pen for guests to write down request for Kaede to play next and she would check off the ones she played once the song was finished. Next to that was a stack of posters/flyers Kyoya had made up for the bands next gig at the end of the month. It didn't have a picture of the band but told time and date with decorative pictures and fonts.

Suddenly there was a crash and Ayanokoji screamed causing Kaede to abruptly stop playing and everyone to look over to see Ayanokoji on the ground with Haruhi, looking quite shocked, on her hands and knees over the girl.

"No, Haruhi, leave me alone! Somebody, help! He just attacked me! Someone, do something! Teach this commoner a lesson!" Suddenly the twins poured pitchers of water over the two. "Why did you do that?" Ayanokoji asked. Tamaki came over and helped her up. "Do something, Tamaki. Haruhi just assaulted me."

"I'm disappointed in you." Tamaki said. "You threw his bag into the pond, didn't you?"

"You don't know that. Do you have any proof that I did?" Ayanokoji asked, getting defensive.

"You know, you're a beautiful girl." Tamaki said cupping her chin. "But you aren't classy enough to be our guest, dear. If there's one thing I know, Haruhi is not that kind of a man."

"But why, Tamaki?" Ayanokoji asked before she started to run away crying. "You idiot!" Tamaki turned to Haruhi who sat on the ground.

"Hmm, now how am I going to punish you? Because it is your fault after all." Tamaki said. "Your quota is now one thousand!" He shouted pointing at her. Kaede grimaced. "Come on." Tamaki held out his hand. "I've got high expectations for you, my little rookie." Tamaki said helping Haruhi up.

"This is the only spare uniform we have." Kyoya said holding out a bag to Haruhi. "Sorry, but it's better than a wet one, right?"

"Thanks a lot, you guys. I'm gonna go change." Haruhi said before walking to the changing rooms.

"Haruhi, here you go. I brought you some towels." He pulled back the curtain and froze seeing Haruhi in a tank top. He let the curtain fall back. "Haruhi." He said.

"Yeah?"

"So, you're a girl?" He asked.

"Biologically speaking, yeah." Haruhi pulled back the curtain now dressed in the girl's uniform. Tamaki freaked out. "Listen, senpai, I don't really care whether you guys recognize me as a boy or a girl." She said. "In my opinion, it's more important for a person to be recognized for who they are rather than for what sex they are."

"Well, isn't this an interesting development." Kyoya said as he and the other hosts, and Kaede, appeared behind Tamaki.

"Oh, yeah." Hikaru and Kaoru said.

"Uh, you know, I have to say, senpai. I thought you were pretty cool earlier." Haruhi said. Suddenly Tamaki's whole face turned red. Kaede couldn't help but burst out laughing, she put a hand over her mouth to muffle it.

"Now I could be wrong, but I think we may be witnessing the beginnings of love here." Kyoya said looking back at Kaede who rolled her eyes.

"Being a host and getting fussed over by a bunch of girls might not be that bad." Tamaki looked shocked. "I wonder how I could pull it off. I've got it. I'll just call everyone dude and bro now." She said before laughing.

"I can't believe it took you this long to realize she was a girl." Kaede said to Tamaki as her laughter finally died down.

"Why didn't you say anything?!" Tamaki squeaked at her.

"It wasn't up to me." Kaede said with a shrug. Tamaki fell to the ground causing Kaede to start laughing again.

"I mean seriously though, they all figured it out." Kaede said gesturing to the other hosts. Tamaki looked up at them from the floor.

"Why did none of you tell me?" he whimpered.

"Honestly?" The twins asked.

"We wanted to see how long it would take you." Kaoru said.

"Our money was on sometime next month." Hikaru said.

"We predicted next week!" Honey said happily. Tamaki looked crestfallen and looked up at Kyoya.

"Never." He said with a shrug. Tamaki's face hit the ground.

Like last time this was a lot shorter than the first chapter but like last time I wanted to get this out. I added in the little scene at the end cause I thought it would be funny if the hosts had made bets on when Tamaki would find out Haruhi was a girl. Cause I think they all figured it out within two-3 days right? But it was a lot longer with Tamaki.
