Arriving on time as usual, the Hitachiin limo pulls out front of Haruhi's apartment complex and comes to a stop. The door opens and two identical "devils" peek their heads out, smirking at their yellow-clad friend.
"Happy Halloween, Haruhi!" Hikaru and Kaoru say in sync, mischievous smirks spread across their faces.
Haruhi smiles at them and crawls into the back seat of their limo, taking her usual spot across from them "Nice devil horns. They suit you two perfectly."
"You know you love them on us." Kaoru says, winking at her.
Hikaru crosses his arms against his chest "We couldn't help but notice that you didn't dress up for Halloween, Haruhi."
"You know I don't really celebrate the holidays, guys." Haruhi shrugs, staring out the window to her right.
"Never too late to try." Kaoru says with a smirk, reaching into his backpack and grabbing out a pair of kitty ears "Put these on." He tosses them across the backseat and they land beside her on the seat. She glares at him, not surprised that they had a costume ready for her.
"I'm not wearing those." Haruhi says, turning her attention to the ears beside her.
"Aww, come on, Haruhi. When did you get so boring?" Hikaru pouts.
Haruhi rolls her eyes and crosses her arms against her chest "Not happening."
"Please, Haruhi? You'd make the cutest little raccoon in the whole school." Kaoru says, copying his brother's actions.
"But, these are cat ears." Haruhi says, blinking in confusion as she grabs the ears in her hands.
"Yeah, so? To us, you'd just be our little raccoon." Hikaru says, smiling at her from across the backseat.
Sighing in defeat, Haruhi puts the headband on her head, blushing as they flash goofy grins at her. "Happy now?" She quickly averts her eyes to the ground, feeling silly for wearing the cat ears.
"So, did you get Honey-Senpai's invite to his Halloween party?" Kaoru says, drawing her attention back to them.
"Yeah. I was actually surprised that he was able to throw a party like this. I thought he'd be busy with college." Haruhi says.
"Are you going to go?" Hikaru asks her, trying not to sound too curious.
"I don't really go to parties. You know that." Haruhi says, adjusting the ears on her head.
"Well, we're not taking no for an answer, Haruhi." Kaoru says, smirking playfully at her from across the backseat "You're going even if we have to make you."
"We'll stop by your place after school to put on our costumes then we'll head over to the party." Hikaru says, copying his brother.
"But, I have to study. It's not like you can actually force me to go." Haruhi says sternly.
Hikaru and Kaoru's shoulders slump as the corners of their mouths droop into frowns.
Haruhi rolls her eyes "I'm sorry guys, but the answer is no. I don't really feel like going to a party."
The two boys look embrace one another in an attempt to appear heartbroken. "Kaoru, why won't she go?" Hikaru mumbles, burying his face in Kaoru's shirt. Kaoru pats Hikaru's head, staring at Haruhi with glossy eyes "I don't know, Hika, but I hope she'll change her mind."
"Stop it, you guys. You can't change my mind." Haruhi sighs.
They slowly turn to look at her, their eyes glazed over with tears. Haruhi notices the sadness upon their faces and swallows back the feeling of wanting to reach out and grab them into hugs.
"Alright, fine. I'll go." She groans in defeat, smirking as they giggle and high five each other "Just stop making those silly faces."
The limo comes to a stop outside of Ouran High and Hikaru opens the door, gesturing for Haruhi to exit first. She smiles at him and hops out, holding onto her cat ears and dress as she goes.
Hikaru watches her adjust her dress as she waits for them to get out, wondering if he should ask her to be his date to the party. He quickly rolls his eyes, knowing that she'd never say 'yes'.
He steps out of the limo and comes to a stand behind Haruhi, smirking as she fidgets with her cat ears.
"Need some help?" He says, wiggling the ears on her headband.
Haruhi looks up at him and glares,"It's just weird having them on, that's all."
"They're quite cute on you, Haruhi." Hikaru mumbles, his cheeks slightly darkening as he looks down at her. Haruhi blushes and quickly averts her eyes, staring out at the crowd before them. A number of kids rush by wearing similar "costumes", making her feel a little better about wearing these silly ears.
Kaoru clambers out behind them, frowning as he watches his brother flirt with Haruhi. Knowing Hikaru, he'll try to ask Haruhi out to the party as soon as possible. He'll have to make his move quickly before that happens.
Wrapping an arm around Haruhi's shoulders, he blushes as she looks up at him and flashes him a small smile,"Hey, Haru, I was wondering-" The arrival of a familiar blonde interrupts his question as Haruhi pulls away from him, waving at Tamaki.
"Hey, you guys, Happy Halloween." Tamaki says cheerfully, bowing his head at his friends.
"You're not wearing a costume?" Hikaru says with a playful smirk.
"That's so not like you, boss." Kaoru says, shaking his head.
Tamaki frowns "Father told me I wasn't allowed to while I was on the job. I'm glad to see you guys are dressed up, though." He gestures at Hikaru and Kaoru's horns before turning his attention to Haruhi, blushing as he takes in her cat ears.
"You look adorable, Haruhi!" He says, reaching up to play with her cat ears.
Hikaru shoots a glare at him, angry that Haruhi is accepting his attention without getting angry at him like she did with them.
A blush creeps into Haruhi's cheeks and she giggles "Thanks, Senpai."
Kaoru notices Tamaki's affect on her and turns his head to the side, too jealous to watch them be together.
Clearing his throat, Tamaki drops his hands to his sides and stares down at her "So, Haruhi, you wouldn't happen to be going to Honey's Halloween party tonight, would you?"
Hikaru feels anger boiling up in him and takes a few steps away from them, trying his best not to snap. "Leave it to Tono to ask her out already." He growls under his breath.
Haruhi notices Hikaru leaving out of the corner of her eye and frowns, drawing her attention back to Tamaki.
"It just so happens that I am going. Why do you ask?" Haruhi says, staring up at him.
Tamaki feels his face heat up and he clears his throat again "I was wondering if you would be my date?"
Kaoru feels his heart ache with disappointment and sighs, angry at himself for taking his time to ask Haruhi to be his date.
Haruhi blinks in surprise, taken aback by his question. She nervously scratches her head as she eyes her two friends out of the corners of her eye "Thanks for asking, Senpai, but I'm going to have to politely decline."
Hikaru and Kaoru smile to themselves, sneaking sideways glances at the two. Despite feeling bad to see their friend so sad, they can't help but feel giddy about Haruhi turning him down.
Tamaki stares down at her with disappointment in his eyes, smiling painfully "Oh. I see. Are you going with someone else, then?" He eyes Hikaru and Kaoru curiously before turning his attention back to her.
"Not that it matters, but no." Haruhi sighs, frowning as she notices the sadness in his eyes.
"I guess I should get going then, huh?" Tamaki says quietly, running his hand through his hair as he starts to turn to leave.
"Wait!" Haruhi says quickly, placing a comforting hand upon his arm.
He turns his face to look at her, his eyes glossy from un-shed tears "What is it, Haruhi?"
"I wanted to know if you'd like to do something this weekend." Haruhi says with a smile "To make up for me abruptly ending our last date."
A smile lights up Tamaki's face while frowns replace the smiles upon Hikaru and Kaoru's faces.
"That's great! How does a picnic sound this weekend at noon?" Tamaki says happily, grabbing Haruhi into a hug.
"Sounds good to me." Haruhi says, gently pulling away from the hug "I'll see you then. I've gotta head to class, now."
Tamaki chuckles "Oh, yeah. I forgot that you're still in school. I've got to head back to work, anyway. Have a good day, Haruhi."
Waving goodbye to each other, Haruhi watches Tamaki walk away with the hope that she wasn't too mean to him. Hikaru and Kaoru catch each others' eye and share understanding nods, deciding not to hold back this time.
"Hey, Haruhi, say cheese!" Hikaru says, laying his head on her shoulder with a playful grin.
Haruhi looks sideways at him "What're you doing, Hikaru?"
"Taking a selfie, of course." Kaoru says, copying his brother as Hikaru holds his phone up in front of the three of them and snaps a quick picture.
"Hey, erase that right now, Hikaru." Haruhi barks, glaring sideways at him.
"Aww, you look so cute, Haruhi." Kaoru says, staring at Hikaru's phone "You should make that your background, Hika." Haruhi rolls her eyes, grabbing the phone from them to look at the picture.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I look horrible in this picture." She says, glaring at herself in the image upon the face of her screen.
Hikaru looks over her shoulder at the picture "No, Haruhi, you don't. Kaoru, want a copy, too?"
A small blush creeps into Haruhi's cheeks as she realizes how close they are to her face.
Hikaru's breath tickles her cheek as he remains quietly by her side, making her slightly nervous. She curiously eyes him out of the corner of her eye, watching a smile spread on his face as he makes the selfie his background picture.
Kaoru gently brushes hair off of her shoulder as he watches his brother play with his phone, making tingles run down her spine. She takes a deep breath to calm herself, hoping they don't notice the weird way she is acting.
"And, now that we've tricked you, Haruhi..." Hikaru purrs quietly, drawing Haruhi's attention towards him as he puts his phone away.
"It's time for your treat." Kaoru whispers, finishing his brother's sentence as he turns her to face him.
"Treat?" Haruhi stutters, confused as she stares into his eyes.
Kaoru grips her chin and gently brings his lips to hers. Her eyes widening in shock, Haruhi intakes her breath as her mind struggles to come to terms with what is going on. She feels her pulse racing as he presses his lips more firmly against hers, changing the angle of his mouth slightly. She squeezes her eyes shut, too embarrassed to look him in the face.
Grumbling with irritation, she feels Hikaru's grip on her shoulder tighten and Kaoru seems to take the hint. A small smile forms on Kaoru's face as he pulls away from her and caresses her cheek, causing her eyes to slowly flutter open. She finds him staring down at her and blushes, unsure of what to say. "I love you, Haruhi." He says cheerfully, ignoring the look upon his brother's face.
Feeling her heart flutter in her chest, Haruhi brings her hand to her lips as she tries to make sense of everything. It's not the first kiss they've shared, but it's definitely the first time his kiss seems to have affected her so much.
Kaoru frowns as she remains quiet, waiting for a response. Hikaru glares at his brother jealously, grabbing a hold of Haruhi's arm and taking her by surprise as he turns her to face him.
"Hika?" She mumbles quietly, staring at him in confusion.
He stares down at her with his flustered face and presses his mouth roughly against hers, closing his eyes as he goes. She swallows a nervous knot, reaching to grasp at her dress. Just like his brother before him, the two of them have shared a kiss before as well. Only this time the kiss seems to be more desperate than before, almost as if he's competing with his brother. The same tingle runs down her spine and she panics internally, unsure of how to deal with this. A metallic taste creeps into her mouth, drawing her out of her thoughts. She lets out a cry of pain and he quickly pulls away.
"Sorry." He mutters quietly, averting his eyes to the ground.
Sucking upon her injured lip, Haruhi nervously fiddles with the hem of her dress. "Why did you guys do that?" She frowns, unable to look both boys in the eyes.
Kaoru comes up behind her and drapes his arms around her shoulders "Would you be my date for the Halloween party, Har-u-hi?"
Hikaru glares at his brother before turning to look at Haruhi "If you don't choose Kaoru, would you consider me, Haruhi?"
"I'm not choosing between you two, so just stop." Haruhi snaps, pulling away from Kaoru.
"Sorry, Haru." both boys say in sync.
Haruhi lets out a sigh of irritation "It's fine. Just stop making a scene, alright? I don't need rumors to spread again."
"So, what is your answer?" Kaoru says, attempting to drape an arm around her shoulders but pulling back hesitantly as she sends a glare his way.
"Like I said, I'm not choosing one over the other, so I'm declining both of your offers." Haruhi says, smoothing out her dress.
Hikaru and Kaoru share looks of worry before throwing their arms around her, squeezing her between them. Haruhi lets out a groan of frustration and looks up at them, her heart torn between being mad at them and being embarrassed.
"Hugging me isn't going to make me change my mind." She grumbles "We better hurry up before we're late for class."
"What if we asked you to be our date?" Hikaru says, holding her tightly.
Haruhi rolls her eyes "That wouldn't be fair to the both of you and you know it."
"Obviously we don't mind if we suggested it." Kaoru says, copying his brother "Wouldn't that change your mind?"
"Will we finally go to class if I say yes?" Haruhi mumbles from between them.
Hikaru and Kaoru smirk "Of course!"
"Alright, fine. Just let me go already so I can breathe again." Haruhi says, sighing with relief as they slowly unravel their arms from around her.
Readjusting her uniform, Haruhi makes her way through the crowd towards the entrance of the school. Hikaru and Kaoru smile after her, excited for the party.
The bell signalling the end of the school day rings throughout the music room, dismissing the Host Club and its guests.
"Thank you all for coming, ladies." Hikaru says, throwing an arm around his brother's shoulders.
"Have a frightening Halloween." Kaoru says, smirking as the girls around them giggle while leaving.
Haruhi bows to each of her guests as they file out of the music room, thanking them for coming.
As the last girl exits the room, Masahiro closes the door and smiles "This was a very profitable day. Good job, everyone." He looks towards Haruhi and nods "Looks like you'll be able to pay your debt off, after all."
"It's probable that there hasn't been a debt for a while, now." Yasuchika says, pushing past him "Which means Haruhi doesn't owe Kyoya anything and thus she doesn't need to be here anymore."
"Aww, but I don't want Haru to leave the Host Club after we just became friends." Satoshi whines, following after Yasuchika.
"I'm not going anywhere. I love the Host Club." Haruhi says, making Satoshi light up "I had my doubts about the debt. I always felt Kyoya Senpai used it as a way to secretly keep me around."
"And, since you stuck around us for so long you came to love it, right, Har-u-hi?" the twins sing-song together, mischievous grins upon their faces. Haruhi eyes them suspiciously "Well, yeah... Is there something you guys aren't telling me?"
"Isn't it obvious? Clearly it was all fake." Yasuchika says "You're a commoner; you're entertaining to the rich. What better way to keep you around than to put you in debt to them?" Haruhi glares daggers at the twins and they avert their eyes from her, feigning ignorance to what Chika just said.
"So, we're free to go whenever we want to?" Kazuo says as he approaches Masahiro and wraps an arm around his shoulders. Masahiro glares sideways at him "Not like I was holding you hostage." Laughing out loud, Kazuo gives him a noogie "I was just joking. Lighten up already." With a roll of his eyes, Masahiro pulls away from him and straightens up his uniform.
"Well then, looks like it's time to go." Kazuo shouts, turning to look at Ryoichi "I'm ready to go tp some houses."
"But, candy-" Ryoichi grunts, patting Kazuo on the head.
A mischievous grin appears on Kazuo's face "Not like we can't tp houses and get candy."
Ryoichi rubs his chin "I guess you're right."
"Of course I'm right!" Kazuo says, throwing open the door "Let's get going." He catches Haruhi's eye and waves at her "Have a great night, Haruhi. See you next week."
Haruhi returns the wave "See you later."
Kazuo lets out a werewolf howl as he exits the music room with Ryoichi in tow. Masahiro rolls his eyes as he follows them out into the hallway, reprimanding Kazuo for his behavior.
Yasuchika comes to a stop beside Haruhi "If you're going to stay in the Host Club, let's try to implement animals soon." Haruhi smiles at him, nodding in acknowledgement. "We're off, now. See you guys at the party." Satoshi says. Bidding the trio goodbye, the two of them exit the music room.
"So, you ready for the party?" Hikaru says as he and Kaoru approach Haruhi. "As ready as I can be." Haruhi says as she straightens out her dress "Just as long as you're not going to try to force me to wear some dumb costume."
"Welp, there go our plans." Kaoru says, smirking as she shoots a glare their way.
"I guess we're ready to go, then?" Hikaru says as he makes his way towards the door. Kaoru offers Haruhi his arm. She shoots him a look of irritation and his arm droops to his side as they head after Hikaru "You may not be dressing up, but we still have costumes to put on. So, we have to stop by your place, first."
"Do you have to? It's not like you can't just go dressed as you are." Haruhi mumbles.
"Are you saying you'd prefer us to change in the limo, Haruhi?" Kaoru says with a wink.
Haruhi's face turns bright red and she quickly looks away "Alright, fine. We'll go to my place."
Hikaru chuckles as he opens the door and they head out together, slamming the door shut behind them.
The limo races through town, heading towards Haruhi's place; numerous buildings decorated for Halloween.
"We should try tp-ing houses sometime." Kaoru says, grinning over at Hikaru. "Sounds like fun. Maybe we should tp Tono's place?" Hikaru smirks.
"You'll do no such thing." Haruhi glares at the both of them, wiping the smiles off their faces.
As if they had practically teleported from school, the limo comes to a stop outside of Haruhi's apartment complex. The three of them grab their things and head up towards the apartment.
"One of you can use the bathroom and the other can use my dad's bedroom." Haruhi says, shutting the door behind them as they step into her living room.
"I call dibs on the bathroom." Hikaru says quickly, as he heads towards the small bathroom. He opens the door and blinks in shock "Wow! It's so small." Haruhi rolls her eyes as she watches him close the door behind him.
"Fine. Just more room for me to get dressed." Kaoru shrugs, opening the door to Ranka's room.
"Please try not to make a mess, alright?" Haruhi calls after them as she makes her way to her room to dress into something more formal.
Hikaru slowly undoes the buttons to his coat, staring around at all the items lying around in the bathroom. He pokes at some bottles upon the sink, wondering which of the products is Haruhi's. The smell of strawberries reaches his nose and he realizes it's what Haruhi usually smells like coming from a small pink bottle by his hand. His cheeks slightly redden as he grabs for the bottle of shampoo and inhales the scent, pretending Haruhi is close to him.
Kaoru looks around at all the wigs and women's clothing strewn around the room and smirks as he sets his bag down upon the floor. Ranka has an interesting taste in fashion, something he wished Haruhi would be interested in so they could use her as a model. Completely forgetting to shut the door, he begins stripping off his clothing. He spots a pretty pink dress sticking out of the wardrobe nearby and sighs, wondering what Haruhi would look like in it.
"I don't think I've ever really looked at my clothing." Haruhi mumbles as she sifts through the multiple clothes hanging in her closet. Her fingers skim over a multitude of dresses and other form-fitting clothing made for her by Hikaru and Kaoru. When had she gotten so many clothes from them? She truly didn't realize that they had gifted her so many outfits; the majority of which she had never worn. She frowns as she examines the different clothing, feeling guilty about the fact that they worked hard to make her them only to have her not even bother trying to wear them. Guess it's better late than never to start wearing them.
Spying a red and green dress that isn't too formal for a Halloween party, she pulls it out of the closet and tosses it onto her bed, her fingers quickly unbuttoning her uniform. Within moments she has her uniform off and is slipping into the dress, wondering when they had gifted her it. The color scheme is more along the lines of Christmas colors, so maybe they had given it to her around then?
"It's a little snug, but it'll do." She says, staring at herself in the mirror upon her wall. Her body had changed these past two years, but she never really paid any attention to it. Looking at herself now, she realizes that she looks a lot more feminine than she had before. She groans as she thinks of the twins trying to get her to model their clothes for them, again. Shaking away the thought, she runs her fingers through her hair, quickly situating herself before heading out of the room.
Adjusting her dress as she goes, Haruhi makes her way into the hallway to wait for the twins to get dressed. Movement to her left catches her eye and she turns to see the door to Ranka's bedroom is wide open. Kaoru stands in the middle of the room in nothing but his boxers. A blush creeps into her cheeks as her eyes involuntarily scan his slightly muscular body. She's seen his body several times thanks to her time in the Host Club, but this time it feels different.
He grabs some red jeans out of his backpack and begins to step into them, the fabric slowly sliding up his toned legs. All he's doing is getting dressed, so why is she so curious? They've changed into costumes in front of each other before without any problems. Maybe its the private setting? Unable to look away, she continues watching as his fingers fiddle with the zipper.
Her hands grip at the hem of her dress and she swallows a nervous knot. As he buttons his pants, he goes to grab out his shirt and spies her watching him. They stare at each other quietly, the tension between them growing thick. Haruhi opens her mouth to make an excuse, only to have him speak first. "Like what you see, Haruhi?" He says, flashing her a teasing smile.
A squeak escapes her and she panics at having been caught, dropping her cat ears on the floor as she rushes down the hall. Completely embarrassed about being caught, her legs give out like they're made of jelly the moment she reaches her kotatsu.
Staring down at her lap, Haruhi fiddles her thumbs as she tries to shake the image of Kaoru from her mind. "He's my friend. I'm not supposed to be having thoughts like this. What's wrong with me?!" She mumbles under her breath, adjusting and readjusting her dress like crazy.
The door to the bathroom slides open and Hikaru steps out wearing red skinny jeans, a red tank top and a red cape that compliment his horns. Haruhi looks up at him and feels her cheeks warm up as an image of Kaoru's body flashes in her mind. Her thoughts turn to wondering if he looks similar or different from his brother and she quickly shakes away the thought.
"Nice... costume." Haruhi stutters, unable to look him in the eye.
"Thanks." He says, feeling his face heat up "Where are your ears at?"
Haruhi reaches up and pats her head, shrugging in hopes that he'll change the subject "I seem to have dropped them somewhere."
Frowning, Hikaru takes a seat across from her to wait for Kaoru to get done "That's too bad, I liked them on you." They both blush and stare down at their laps, too nervous to look at one another. "Maybe I left them in my room." Haruhi says, hoping to make an escape.
Hikaru pulls out a handful of candy and sets it upon the kotatsu "Have some candy, Haruhi. You're looking a little pale. Is everything okay?" He grabs a caramel and unwraps it, popping it into his mouth.
"Found your ears, Haruhi." Kaoru says, appearing in the doorway of Ranka's bedroom. He bends down and picks the ears up before making his way over to join them "Can't have you going to a Halloween party without a costume." Haruhi blushes as he takes a stand beside her.
Sitting down, he places the headband upon her head and grins "There's my little raccoon."
Grabbing a piece of licorice off of the table, Haruhi sets it between her lips in an attempt to distract her from her thoughts "I'm not a raccoon."
"Are, too." Kaoru says, bending forward and biting off the licorice dangling out of her mouth, his lips gently grazing hers as he does so. Her blush darkens and he chuckles as he pulls away from her.
Hikaru rolls his eyes as he stands up before them "I'm gonna head out to the limo. You two can stay here and violate each other. I'd rather not watch."
Kaoru frowns and looks up at his brother "Come on, Hika, I thought we agreed to share her?"
"Only because we'd lose her to Tono if we didn't." Hikaru grumbles "You know how I feel about her, Kaoru."
"And, you know how I feel, Hikaru. What's your point?" Kaoru says, glaring up at his brother.
"Would you both quit arguing?" Haruhi says sternly, standing up beside Hikaru "I should never have said 'yes' to letting you both take me to the party. I knew it wouldn't be fair and I was right." Hikaru and Kaoru turn towards her with frowns upon their faces.
"Does this mean you're not going to go with us?" Hikaru says dejectedly.
"We're sorry for arguing, Haruhi." Kaoru sighs, standing up beside her.
Haruhi shakes her head "I'm not even sure I want to go, now. Why do you both always wind up arguing whenever we're together?"
"We don't always argue." Kaoru says, placing his hands upon her shoulders "What're you talking about?"
"You guys didn't do this when I was dating Tamaki, so why start now?" Haruhi asks them, shaking off Kaoru's hands.
"Because we knew we had no chance of being with you." Kaoru mumbles "Better to be your friend than not know you at all."
"But, you're not with him, now." Hikaru says quietly.
Haruhi turns to look at Hikaru "You think that that means I'm just going to choose one of you, then? I'm afraid that's not how it works."
"Yeah, well, excuse us for trying." Hikaru snaps. He crosses his arms over his chest and averts his eyes towards the door.
Kaoru frowns at his brother before turning back to Haruhi "It appears that we've overstepped ourselves. Would you like us to leave?"
Letting out a sigh of irritation, Haruhi shakes her head 'no'.
"Well, what do you want, then?" Hikaru says, glaring over at her.
"I just want us to go to the party and have a good time." Haruhi says quietly, growing uncomfortable under his glare.
A small smile graces Kaoru's mouth and he grabs her into a hug "So, you'll let us take you to the party?" Blushing, Haruhi nods her head 'yes'.
Hikaru lets out a sigh of defeat and walks over to join them, standing behind Haruhi and wrapping his arms around her waist. He lays his head down on top of hers and sighs "We'll back off if you want us to."
Haruhi frowns and looks up at him "I never said you guys had to back off, Hika. I just want you guys to know I'm not ready to make any decisions, yet."
"You're not mad at us, then?" He says, hugging her tightly.
"No. Just quit arguing, alright?" Haruhi says, becoming slightly nervous as they hug her between them.
"You know, you look really good in this dress, Haruhi." Kaoru says, smiling down at her in an attempt to clear the air.
"Thanks." Haruhi mumbles, looking down at herself.
"Guess we should get going before we're late, huh?" Hikaru says, messing up Haruhi's hair before pulling away from her and heading to the door.
"Good idea." Haruhi says, following after him with Kaoru in tow.
