Chapter Five: Of Cherry Blossoms and Plans

A rather loud and annoying voice was saying something that I couldn't understand. It kept going even as I hid under the covers. The voice screamed out, causing me to freak out and fall off my bed. So much for a wake up call. I lifted my head up and looked at the voice. It was Fuka.

"What do you want? It's still early for me to wake up ya know," I informed Fuka as I grabbed the sheets that fell with me and placed it on my bed.

"It's not early. It's actually seven twenty," Fuka said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Huh?" I looked at the clock and just like Fuka said, it was now seven twenty. "Holy shiznits! Get out! I have to get ready!" I shouted as I pushed her out of my way to get to the bathroom.

After my bathroom routine and coming into my room, I ran towards my closet. I pulled out the light blue blazer, the white button up shirt and some black knee high capri. I removed my pajamas and tossed them on the floor. I placed the pants on, zipping it and putting the button on. It was a good thing that I went to sleep in my bra because I placed on top a black muscle shirt and some deodorant. I quickly placed on the button up top and didn't even bother buttoning it. I put some black ankle socks and without caring, I put on my black chucks. I grabbed a loose tie, the blazer, backpack and ran out the door.

I ran all the way to Ouran and once I arrived at the gates, I reached for my cell phone. I felt my pockets and I didn't find it there. I searched my messenger bag, it wasn't there.

'Nooo! I forgot my cell phone!'

After regaining my breath, I ran inside the building and into my homeroom. Luckily for me, class hadn't started yet. I walked inside the room and breathed in hard. I looked towards the direction of my desk and I found Hunny and Mori there just hanging out. They looked at my direction with questionable looks. I walked past them and I sat on my desk. Once I sat down, I placed my bag down and banged my head on the desk.

"Suna-chan, what's wrong? You look tired," Hunny said as he turned to face me. Mori too looked concerned.

"I'm alright. Just that I woke up late, I ran all the way here. And apparently I forgot a couple of things," I said as I banged my head.

"What did you forget?"

"My cell phone," I banged my head, "My iPod", another bang, "My bento," another bang, "and to get money from my otou-san." I banged my head but I didn't feel the desk. I lifted my head and I noticed that it was a hand that I banged my head into. My eyes followed the arm of the owner. It was Mori's hand.

"Stop injuring yourself. You might get a head ache," Mori said to me as he lifted his hand.

"R-Right," I said to him. A faint pink blush appeared on my cheeks as I looked away from him.

The whole day went rather fast and it got quite better. When lunch came around and I didn't have my food, Haruhi appeared and gave me a bento. I looked at her confused and she told me that she had found Fuka, who was looking for me, and she gave her my bento. I glomped Haruhi, being careful not to drop the bento, and thanked her countless of times. I was glad that I had my food.

After school, I went to go look for Fuka. I walked towards the middle school section of this school. I was walking for a while when I finally found Fuka. And she wasn't alone. Two other girls were there with her.

"Oi, Fuka!" I said with a wave of my hand.

Fuka turned to my direction and simply waved at me. I walked towards her and the two girls. Both girls were shorter than her, of course and they had brown hair. One of them had it up in a ponytail, clearly showing her green eyes and the other had her hair in two pigtails; she had brown eyes.

"Hey Fuka, just letting ya know I won't be home and all. Gonna be back like at 5 or 6, like last time."

"Yeah, yeah. Just know that dinner's gonna be ready when you come back."

"Yeah, I got it. Laters!"

I walked away from her and headed towards the little garden-like area where the Host Club is going to be at. Today's the 'famous' Cherry Blossom Festival. I sighed as I neared the gate that would lead me to the event. Cherry blossom petals were in the air, floating as if it was dancing with the wind. This was indeed a beautiful sight and I loved it.

I approached the door, two girls were ahead of me and they opened it. I walked in with them and I was actually surprised a bit with the sight in front of me. From left to right, it was Mori, Hunny, Haruhi, Kaoru, Hikaru, Tamaki and lastly Kyoya. Mori, Hunny, and Haurhi were wearing Hakama pants and a kimono top. On their feet were white socks and Waraji sandals. The others had on waiter-like outfits. White button up shirts covered with a black vest. A bow was present and they had on black pants with black shoes. Over the black pants was a long white apron that was tied around their waist.

"Welcome!" They all said together.

Ouran Host Club – Cherry Blossom Viewing Banquet

'Why do I even come to this? Oh yeah, I come for Haruhi so she can remain sane and for Hunny. And maybe for Mori too,' I thought in my head as I looked at them all. I immediately walked over to Haruhi and said,

"I'm sticking with you."

She nodded her head and she led me to where her designation spot was at. I took notice of her costume that she was currently in. Light gray hakama bottoms, a burgundy kimono top and underneath that was an orange kosode. We walked over to this blanket that had various foods and drinks and took a seat on the floor. Apparently, she was not working alone in this spot.

Hunny sat happily across of Haruhi, as I sat to her right. Across from me, was Mori. Man did he look handsome or what!

"Suna-chan! You came!" Hunny said with such a large smile.

I smiled back at him and said, "Of course. I wouldn't miss hanging out with you and the others as well."

"Takashi, Suna-chan is really nice, ne?" Hunny asked the tall boy next to him.

"Ah," Mori said as he looked at Hunny, but then looked at me. I smiled at him and then turned to Haruhi.

We mostly talked about how school was going and the possible classes that we were going to take.

"Do they have a dance class here?" I asked her.

"Dance? Hmm, I'm not quite sure. I think you are going to have to go to the administration office and ask," She told me.

"Suna-chan, you're a dancer?" Hunny asked me with that adorable look on his face.

I nodded and said, "Yes. I've been dancing for four years already."

"I bet you're really good."

"I don't think I am. There are other girls that can do so much more than I can. Especially when it comes to lyrical."

"What styles do you dance?" Haruhi asked.

I placed my finger on my chin and began listing all the styles I did, "I do jazz, lyrical, hip hop and some salsa. My favorite out of all of them would have to be jazz and hip hop."

"That's a lot! Amazing, ne?" Hunny said with excitement and amazement.

All Mori did was nod.

"It's not that much. But I'm glad that you find it amazing and such," as soon as I finished that sentence, two other girls came to join us. The first one had long brown hair and had bangs. Her eyes were brown. The other had a black looking hair, not compared to my black, black hair, and she had brown eyes as well. Her hair was in pigtails that were held by pink bows. The hosting antics had now begun.

Hunny was currently making what I believed was green tea. He was whisking it at a fast pace. It was a bit too fast since he was beginning to spill it.

'Should someone say something? Should I?' I thought as I observed him. I looked at Haruhi and her face showed the same thoughts that I was thinking. I would have said something but Hunny looked adorable all concentrated in his work.

"Mitsukuni," Mori said. I looked towards him since he finally spoke since I got here.

'He's gonna tell him!' I thought as I looked carefully to see what would happen.

Mori lowered his head so that his mouth would be next to Hunny's ear, "You spilled too much." He finally said it.

All of us, me, Haruhi, and the two girls waited to see what would happen. Indeed mostly all of it was spilt. The remainder of the drink was barely one drop. Hunny suddenly got teary eyed and suddenly the girl with brown hair grabbed the bowl and said,

"Hunny-kun, I'll take it! It looks so delicious!" She drank the small amount that was in there. The other one spoke,

"Yes, this is exactly the amount I wanted to drink. That's amazing, Hunny-kun! How did you know?"

"Really?"Hunny said all happy now.

Haruhi and I just faced away from them and just had a mushroom sigh. I also had a sweat drop at the back of my head and thought,

'These girls are a bunch of brainless idiots.' I looked at Haruhi and said, "I'm gonna go for a walk. Wanna come with?"

"Sure," she said and we walked away from where we were currently at.

"This is really beautiful, ain't it?" I asked her as we walked together. I was holding my bag, not even consider letting it go.

"It is." She told me. We both sighed at our surroundings. I looked behind me and took notice that Tamaki was coming over.

"I'm gonna go sit by the tree. Maybe draw out our surroundings or something." She nodded her head and I walked away. I looked towards the two and saw them talking. While I was listening, I took out a notebook and opened it to a blank sheet of paper. I began writing a list that showed what I needed to buy.

"Let's see. I need to buy a new sketch book, along with markers and color pencils. Uhh, new mangas, and hopefully that guitar that I saw at the mall," I wrote it down and I began to doodle. I began to draw the Cherry Blossom tree that was in front of me. I started with the trunk of the tree. Sketching lightly, I started from the middle and began moving to the bottom of the trunk where the roots were at. After that, I began from the middle once again, only going towards the top and to where the branches and all the blossoms were.

The two were still talking and I was already drawing the blossoms when two shadows loomed over me.

"Hello boys," I said as I lowered the pencil in my hand and looked at the two figures. The twins sat next to me, each on one side and looked at the paper.

"Wow, Setsuna-senpai. This is really good. Don't you think so, Hikaru?" The one on my right, Kaoru said. I noticed that his voice was softer than his brother.

"You're right, Kaoru. Setsuna-sanpai really knows how to draw," Hikaru said. His voice was more mischievous that his brother.

"That's why you should join the Host Club! You can be an artistic maid!" The twins said together as they wrapped their arms around me.

"No thanks. I don't like cleaning or serving brainless girls and conceited boys," I told them. "I rather have a different position and such."

"Oh well," Kaoru said.

"We tried," Hikaru said after.

"Why don't we go and bother tono? C'mon Setsuna-senpai," They said together.

I grinned and said, "Sure."

They stood up and handed their hands towards me. I gladly accepted their hands and they helped me up. After slinging the messenger bag over my shoulder, the three of us walked over the Haruhi and Tamaki.

"Haruhi!" The twins said at the same time. Hikaru had his arm around her neck while Kaoru held her wrist. "Have you decided on what to take for your elective course this semester?"

I was behind the twins, on Kaoru's right, and a bit close to Tamaki. Oh the look on his face was priceless. I should draw it sometime.

"How about French Conversation?" Kaoru suggested.

"Hmm, maybe..."

"We should just take the same courses. Because, you know, we're..." Hikaru said as he and Kaoru finished the sentence and looked directly at Tamaki.

"In the same class."

The Friendly Classmate Trio

I looked towards Tamaki and he was not there anymore. I searched for him but it wasn't long that I had found him kneeling near a Cherry blossom tree. You could clearly see how depressed he became. I just sweat dropped.

I walked towards Kyoya, who was currently writing something in his notebook, or what I call the little black book.

"Hey, kaa-san..." I heard Tamaki speak.

"What is it, Otou-san?"

"This is just...Yes, this is just conjecture, but...compared to me, who only spends time with her in the club, do Hikaru and Kaoru, whom are in the same class as Haruhi, spend more time with...and consequently, get more chances to get to know her more?"

"What? You just noticed now?"

Lightning apparently had stricken Tamaki. I just sweat dropped.

Out of no where, a white board appeared and it showed a pie chart of the amount of time that the twins and Tamaki spent with Haruhi. I stood across the other side of Kyoya, looking at the chart as he began to explain it.

"In one day, those three people spend nine hours together on campus. However, your interactions with Haruhi are limited to the one to two hour time period in this club. Another way to put it would be...that the amount of time you actually take part of Haruhi's daily life is but a mere three percent-"

Tamaki screamed and began to cry saying that he didn't want to hear it. But then he suddenly said, "At least I have Setsuna!"

With my name being said, Kyoya flipped over the white board and I took notice of the pie charts. I sweat dropped. He had to make one for me.

"That's where you are wrong. In one day, Setsuna-senpai spends more time, nine hours, with Hunny-senpai and Mori-senpai, since they are in the same class. Haruhi, perhaps, spends three hours with her and you only spend half an hour with her in this club. So in Setsuna's life, it is merely one percent-"

"I don't want to hear anymore!" Tamaki then grabbed Haruhi and me as well. We were facing him and he had a hand on each of our shoulders. He looked at me first and said, "Setsuna-senpai! I promise to spend more time with you!"

I sweat dropped for the third time in one day and said, "Uhh, okay?"

He then turned towards Haruhi and said, "O' Haruhi! You should not spend any more time with those unscrupulous twins anymore!"

"Unscrupulous?" Hikaru said in an annoyed tone.

"I don't want to hear that from you, tono!" It was Kaoru's turn to say something.

Suddenly, Tamaki backed away from us, as if he just realized something or if he was scared. I'm hoping that it's the first one.

"Oh yeah...Oh yeah!" He suddenly had sweat marks all over his face and he also had a determined look. This is not going to end well.

"All faults lie on that fact that you're hiding your gender as a girl from everyone!" Tears were falling and Kyoya was still writing in his little black book. Me and Haruhi had a WTF look on our faces. "You need to return to your normal female student life, get surrounded by your female friends, and have a healthy student lifestyle; that is Otou-san's wish!"

'Get surrounded by girls? Does he not know that I am a girl?!' I thought as I had an anger mark on my forehead. Oh I could just punch this fool in the face. Haruhi took notice and began to calm me down.

"And who's this 'Otou-san'?" Haruhi said dully.

"I am a girl!" I shouted at him.

"Oh, revert back! Revert back! Revert back now!" Tamaki said as he kept pulling Haruhi back and forth from her shoulders.

"Freaking Tamaki, saying that I am not girl enough for Haruhi," I muttered as I gave him a glare. Seriously, I was ready to kick his butt!

"There's no need top hurry. Because, they'll find out in the near future," Hikaru said as he and Kaoru moving from side to side. Their index finger and thumbs were the only one that was sticking out.

"Remember, the day after tomorrow is the physical examination," Kaoru said.

"Physical..." Haruhi began as I finished,

"Examination?"

Tamaki, Hunny, Hikaru, Kaoru and Mori were just looking at us. The words 'Physical Examination' just appeared out of no where. Their gaze made me uncomfortable and it was starting to get annoying.

"Oh yeah, it's in two days," Tamaki said. Everyone, even I, started looking at Haruhi as I stood next to her.

"Then...They really will find out...that I'm a girl..." She said without a care in the world. Lightning struck behind all the boys who were just staring.

'Why do they even have those faces?' I thought with a sweat drop.

By the time the Host Club was over, I walked with Haruhi back to the third music room to get her belongings since we were going to walk home together. Behind us was the Host Club who seemed to be plotting something.

Once we arrived, me and Haruhi sat down near a window and began to talk.

"So what do they do in these examinations?" I asked her.

"I'm not sure. This is my first year here, Suna-chan."

"Oh right."

We both left the Host Club after saying bye and walked to our respected houses. We mostly talked about what we expected the physical examinations to be like.

As soon as I got home I dropped all my belongings in my room and went down to have dinner. The whole night went by pretty fast, like if it wanted to be the next day already. And it was.

It was finally Wednesday, the middle of the week meaning that the weekend was almost here. Oh thank god! I got up on time and I made sure that I had everything with me. I decided to wear shorts today instead of long pants. So my outfit consisted of the blazer, white button up shirt with a white muscle tee, black shorts, and white socks with black chucks. I didn't even bother grabbing the tie as I grabbed my messenger bag.

The day was going pretty smoothly and it was after school. I was surprised that I wasn't asked if I was going to the Host Club. I was already outside of the high school section waiting for Fuka when suddenly I heard a voice. A childish voice.

"Target located and captured!"

I was swept off my feet and was being carried. My ribcage rested on the person's right shoulder. My captor was running fast back towards the school and heading towards where the Host Club meets.

The door was swung open and there stood everyone, except Haruhi.

"Good job, Hunny-senpai and Mori-senpai for being Setsuna-senpai here," Tamaki said.

"No problem! It was fun. Ne, Takashi?" Hunny asked.

'Oh Kami-sama, please don't tell me that it was Mori who carried me?!' I thought.

"Un." He said.

I was finally brought down from my position and looked directly at Mori's face. I blushed instantly and I knew he took notice. How? He gave me a small grin.

I immediately turned away and looked towards Tamaki and I saw him with a weird smile on his face. I just had a blank look and thought, 'He is having thoughts of Haruhi.'

Apparently I wasn't the only one who took notice. I walked over to the guys as I kept on looking at Tamaki.

"Looks like Tama-chan us enjoying himself!" Hunny said.

"Actually, he's pretty sad in my mind." Hikaru stated.

"I agree with you there!" I said to him.

"Don't be jealous, Hikaru!" Tamaki said as he stood up from his chair. "I knew all along this would happen. Even without all your jealousies, I saw this result from the very beginning. Yes! This anime is a school love comedy to begin with! Haruhi and I are the main characters of this love comedy!"

"I thought this was my love comedy with Mori." I muttered to myself in a soft voice.

"What did you say, Suna-chan?" Hunny asked as he looked at me.

"Oh nothing, Hunny."

"And what are we?" The twins asked.

Tamaki turned around, behind him was a background of pink hearts and the word 'Homo' written everywhere, and pointed towards us saying, "Obviously, you two are homo side characters!"

With a random stick, he made a line on the floor, dividing us from his side. Our side was purple while his was pink with little hearts. "So don't cross this line."

"This is pissing us off a bit," The twins said.

"This is pissing me off." I said with an angry tone. An anger mark was growing on my head. 'First he said I wasn't girl enough for Haruhi, now I am a homo side character?! He is going down. Time for evil plotting.'

"And besides..." Hikaru began and Kaoru continued, "...do you really understand, tono?"

"If they find out that Haru-chan is a girl, she won't be able to stay at the Host Club any more," Hunny said.

"And that means bye, bye Haruhi," I said with a smirk.

Tamaki turned paper white as he stared at us. It was as if his soul had left him.

"But if Haru-chan wears girl's clothing, she'd look more and more cuter!" Hunny said.

"In junior high, she walked around in girl's clothing normally, so she must've been popular among the guys, huh?" Hikaru asked.

"Yes, according to my investigations, she usually received a confession from someone about once every month," Kyoya stated from his little black book.

"Ahh, then our tono won't be able to get close to her any more," Kaoru said.

"Well. We don't mind since we're in the same class she is," Hikaru then said.

Tamaki was finally at his breaking point from what everyone had been saying.

"How can that be?!"

The door of the music room suddenly opened and there stood Haruhi.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Running quickly, Tamaki went to grab a hold of Haruhi's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Haruhi! At tomorrow's physical examination, your secret about being a girl...will be protected by us. So please stay as our very own princess!"

Haruhi just blinked a couple of times and said, "Say what?"

"It's true that we'd find it irritating if other guys spoke with Haruhi. It's already happening to Setsuna-senpai," Hikaru said looking at his brother.

That was true. Earlier today, some random guy from my class approached me and asked me out. But suddenly, he backed away and said forget it. I was clueless as to why but when I turned around, I realized why. Mori gave him a glare. Heheh, I feel special already!

"Then, it's settled!" Kaoru said.

A whiteboard had suddenly appeared in front of us. In big and bold writing it said: The Great Strategic Plan to Hide Haruhi's Gender. And in the middle it said: We call this operation "Haru-chan is absolutely a guy! – Start! Already on the board where two formations: A and B. Me not wanting to know this plan, I walked away and went straight to Haruhi.

"Is it just me or are they a bit crazy?" I asked Haruhi.

"I told you so," she said to me.

"Well, I can't help it that I was curious about this an all," I defended myself as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"How did you even end up here?"

"I was kidnapped by Hunny and Mori," I told her. She sweat dropped.

We both looked at the group and Haruhi said,

"I see. If they find out, I won't be able to stay a host, so I won't be able to repay my debt." She then turned towards me and said, "The amount remaining that I have to repay is 5,333,332 yen..."

"Don't worry Haruhi, we'll think of another method and I shall help!" I told her with a smile. We both then started laughing, not noticing that the twins and Tamaki had sweat drops.

"Taicho! (Captain)" I heard the twins say, "The target herself has no will to do this at all! And Setsuna-senpai is with her all the way!"

"What an uncooperative heroines..." Tamaki said to the twins but then pointed towards Haruhi saying, "Do you hate being a host that much?! Do you hate this club that much?!"

"Well, if I had to decide, yeah."

And this statement sent Tamaki to the corner of sorrow.

"But, you really can't do anything about it if they find out that she is a girl." I said as I wrapped my arm around Haruhi's shoulder. Her nodding showed that she completely agreed with me.

"What a way to decrease our motivation..." Hikaru said.

"What we should take care of first is this lack of drive in Haruhi and Setsuna-senpai," Kaoru said.

"Ootoro..." Mori said as he placed his left hand on his chin.

Ootoro, the most delicious fatty tuna ever. Well that was what I was told since I didn't have the chance to eat any since everyone got it before me when we went to eat at the Hitachiin's mansion.

Lightning struck between me and Haruhi.

"Oh yeah...At our last dance party...You didn't get to eat any, right?!" Tamaki mockingly said to Haruhi.

"And Setsuna-senpai didn't eat any since everyone else ate it before her," The twin mocked right after him. They both then began to mock us. Starting with Hikaru,

"Did you know? Those persons there never had a taste of ootoro before?"

"Oh my, what a pitiful upbringing," Kaoru said right after.

Sweat drops were on top of our heads.

"You'd be able to eat all kinds of delicious foods if you stay in this club or even help," Hunny said as he was looking at Usa-chan.

"Wh-What are you talking about? Just because I'm poor, and just because I'll be able to eat ootoro, aren't reasons to keep on hiding my gender," Haruhi said.

"Haruhi is not that gluttonous of a person..." I said trying to defend her.

All the members of the Host Club were looking at us, smiling.

Haruhi and I then faced each other and said together with a large sweat drop over our heads, "Will I really be able to eat some?"

That answer made the Host Club win.
