Tension circling around the room putting all of the hosts on edge except the two hosts that seen to be the cause of everyone's uneasiness. The atmosphere around the two was dark and heavy which was unusual for the pair. Revenues were not affected as patrons overlooked the behavior of the two as it went unnoticed. The two carried out their host duties perfectly with greeting their costumers with a smile.

Their change in behavior though was not overlooked by their fellow club members. They were not easily deceive as Shakespeare had said, "The Eyes are the window to your soul."

The eyes of the loli host dimmed as he kept with his cheerful attitude, practically forcing himself to continue on with the ruse. His inaudible companion's behavior was overlooked as he usually held up a stoic character. The only flaw to his performance was the far-off look he held as he stared out the window, almost as if…searching.

Their suspiciousness arouse the curiosity of Haruhi Fujioka.

Higurashi-san had not come for two weeks since the girl revealed her name. This brought up the thought that Mori was down or maybe worried of the girl's absence. He could have also been concern of Honey's behavior.

However, what was Honey's reason?

Haruhi did not know that the answer to that but the answer would turn up sooner or later.


The next day the hallways were noisy with the chatter of the aristocrats. Their usual gossip intel was different than usual. Rumors or news was spreading around that had brought girls into a frantic matter. Many were distress by the hot news spreading.

Haruhi of course reframed from including herself in the commotion as it didn't concern her as that would be butting into someone's person affair. The only reason she'd mettle is if the Host Club dragged her with their usual schemes.

The noise from the mass was not discreet though. Here and there she'd pick up interesting tidbits that waver her consciousness if she should get involved.

"Did you hear?"

"NO WAY!"

"Honey-senpai, FOR REAL?!"

The mention of the senior's name inclined her to take part. Perhaps this was about the reason why he was down.

She tapped the girl on the shoulder and smiled at the smitten girl. "What is this about Honey-senpai?"

"Ah, Haruhi!" The girl hadn't gotten over infatuation. "Y-you see..." Her voice wavered, as if unsure to answer.

"The state of the Host Club is being question!" The girl's friend answer.

She looked at them confused. From the corner of her eye she could see the short host with his cousin being surrounded by girls. From the looks of them they had discarded their mask and let their face show their true expression. Honey looked down while his cousin's eyes hardened.

"Haruhi?" The girl tried to garner her attention of the juicy news that was about to be untold to her.

The girl's friend cleared her throat seemingly happy to spread the news to more ears.

"You see, Honey-senpai-"
