Chapter 28: "Big 'Extra' Strategy!"

It was game time today. I was currently dressed in my usual Ouran uniform but today I decided to wear some black skinny leg jeans with my blazer open and shirt unbuttoned leaving people to see the black tank top that I had under, and a pair of black flats. Since I was heading to school, Fuka was besides me, reading a book that was assigned for her class.

"Hey Fuka," I called out to her.

"Yeah," She responded.

"We should go to Harajuku this weekend. I've been wanting to buy some combat boots for a while and I heard that they sell some there for cheap. Wanna go?"

"Hmm, maybe I can. It depends if I finish my homework and all."

I nodded my head as a response and simply went back to listening to music. In about eight minutes, we finally made it to Ouran and went our separate ways. I barely stepped into the hallway that led to my classroom when I suddenly felt a vibration in my jean pocket. I pulled out my cell phone and noticed that I received a text from Hikaru.

"Come to the Third Music Room," I read the text as my feet led my body to the room.

I made it to the club room in about five minutes and walked in only to find that it was empty. I simply sighed and headed towards one of the tables and took a seat on the chair that was there. Not knowing when Hikaru and Kaoru were going to show up, I pulled out one of my notebooks and began sketching. But right when my pencil touched the blank page, the doors were burst wide open revealing Hikaru, Kaoru, Hunny, Takashi, Tamaki, and lastly Kyoya.

"Good morning!" I smiled brightly as the group approached me.

A chorus of good mornings was heard and now we began our last minute meeting for today's plan.

"Alright, my loyal subjects, today is the day that 'Big "Extra" Strategy' will be executed! Hikaru, Kaoru, are the outfits prepared?" Tamaki asked as he looked towards the Twins.

"Yup, we have everything ready," Kaoru started.

"From shoes to hair, we have everything set," Hikaru finished the confirmation.

"So this is really going to happen?" I asked as I removed a stray hair that fell over my face.

"Yes, for we must keep my precious daughter!" Tamaki said as he stood from his chair.

With that said, our meeting was now adjourned. Hunny, Takashi, and I were now heading towards our classroom for our morning classes with me in the middle of them. I felt my right hand brush against the hand of the person to my right. Without moving my head, I looked at Takashi as a blush slowly began to form on his cheeks. He too brushed his left hand against mine. At the moment, I decided to be a bit bold and using my right index finger, I brushed his hand soft and slow movement. In return, he did the same.

I really wanted to grab his hand then and there, but I couldn't for the fact that we had customers around us now and also because we arrived at our classroom. Walking in, we headed straight towards our desks. Hunny bounced onto his seat, while I slipped in mine. Takashi smoothly sat in his.

Our morning lectures were finally over and it was time to head to lunch. Tamaki thought that it would be a good idea if we ate at the club room so that we can immediately get dressed into our costumes. I got up from my seat and grabbed my bento box that I myself prepared – with the help of otou-san – which I was really proud about since I can barely cook.

"Suna-chan, it's time to go!" Hunny said as he stood next to me.

I nodded my head as a response. Grabbing the bento box, we made our way to the Third Music Room. We were halfway towards our destination when Hunny asked me if I could carry him. I told him that I would and I bent down to lift him up.

"Here," Takashi said as he held out his hand to grab my bento box.

I handed it over to him as I smiled, "Thanks, Takashi."

He nodded his head and walked along side me and Hunny. About a three minute walk away from the door, I felt a hand rest along my lower back. I looked at Takashi just to see him blush. I blushed as well but decided to take advantage and moved closer to him.

We now stood in front of the door and once Takashi opened the door for us to go in, we went right on in and saw everyone already there. I placed Hunny back on his feet once we stepped into the room.

"Thanks, Suna-chan!" Hunny smiled at me before he gave me a hug.

"No problem, Hunny."

I headed straight towards one of the tables and sat down and opened my bento. I smiled at the foods that otou-san had taught me to prepare. There was salmon and prawn sushi nicely lined and waiting to be eaten by me and right next to it was a little cup that held soy sauce. I grabbed my chopsticks and dug in. I felt the chair on my right move and I looked only to find that it was Kaoru that sat next to me. On the other side of me, Hikaru sat down.

"Look, Setsuna-senpai, we also brought our own bento box!" They cheerfully said as they opened the lid of their bento box.

"Our chef made them for us. He even made a small bento box for you," Kaoru said as he passed me a small bento. He smiled at me and said, "Open it."

I opened the lid carefully, since the bento box was so beautifully designed and immediately I was in shock.

"We know that you haven't officially eaten ootoro, so we asked him if he could make you some sushi," Hikaru said as he grabbed his chopsticks and began to eat his food.

By now, Tamaki, Kyoya, Hunny, and Takashi were right in front of the table where we sat. They were all waiting for me to eat it.

Using my chopsticks, I grabbed the first piece of ootoro. I dipped it carefully into the soy sauce and now held it in front of my mouth. I opened my mouth and that's when I took my first officially bite of ootoro. Oh dear Kami-sama! This had to be the best thing that I have ever eaten in my life. A blush was plastered in my face and I knew that there was a background of who-knows-what color behind me.

"Cute!" I heard Hunny, Tamaki, Kaoru, and Hikaru shout as they watched me finish the piece of ootoro.

I swallowed the food slowly – if that's even possible – and said, "That was really, really delicious!"

By now, everyone was sitting down and eating their lunch. Takashi sat right across from me, Hunny was across from Kaoru, Kyoya was across from Hikaru, and Tamaki sat at the head of the table. I had just finished taking a bite from my salmon sushi when I realized something. I mentally grinned and I moved my right foot to touch Takashi's.

Immediately, he looked at my direction and saw me smile and turn away from him, looking back at my food. I took a bite from my prawn sushi and that's when I felt him touch my foot with his. Again, I touched his foot, but this time, I slowly moved my leg up and down his, just waiting to see his reaction. I was glad that everyone was paying attention to their food and listening to Tamaki talk about who-knows-what because a blush immediately rose onto his cheeks.

I grinned and simply went back to eating my food. I was on my last and final piece of sushi, which was the ootoro, when I suddenly felt Takashi's leg rub up and down my own. I blushed and looked at him, just to see him smiling at me. I smiled back and also began to do the same gesture.

Lunch was officially over and sadly so was the little game of footsie Takashi and I were playing. Now it was time to get into our costumes.

"So what exactly are you guys wearing?" I asked the boys as Hikaru handed me my package that held the clothes that I would be wearing.

"You'll see once we are done getting dressed. But first, we should cut some of your hair," The two said at the same time.

My eyes widened and said, "What you mean cut my hair?!"

"Don't worry, Setsuna-senpai. We're simply are going to trim it a bit and maybe give you some bangs," Kaoru said as Hikaru sat me down on a chair.

'To get a free hair cut or to not get a free hair cut? That is simply the question,' I thought in my head. "Do it," I said to them.

I faced the mirror and watched them begin trimming my hair. My once hair that was passing my shoulders now simply stood above my shoulders simply by and inch. I now watched them as they cut some parts of the front of my hair to give me side-sweep bangs. In a matter of ten minutes, they were done.

"What do you think?" They asked me.

"Nicely done," I told them as I ran my fingers through my hair. "Do you guys know how to dye hair, by any chance?" I jokingly asked.

They gave me a blank look and said, "Go get dressed."

I laughed and said, "I'm only kidding. I'll go get dressed."

I walked into one of the empty dressing rooms and proceeded in getting dressed. I opened the package and found a long, black coat, a black vest, a pair of black dressy pants, a white dressy shirt that had a high stiff collar, and a tie.

I quickly got undressed and began to get dressed. The first thing I placed on was the white dressy shirt. After buttoning it up, I then placed on the black pants. I had to tuck in the shirt, which I really hate doing. Now that I had that ready, I then popped the collar since I thought it would look cooler if it was popped and because it was a high stiff one. I then placed on the vest and left it unbuttoned since I still had to put the tie on. I was ready to place the coat on when I heard someone say my name.

"Setsuna-senpai," I heard Kaoru's voice.

"Yes?"

"Here are your shoes, gloves, and top hat," He slid them into the dressing room.

"Thanks!"

I grabbed the black boots and slipped onto them. It was a bit hard, but I managed to do it. I had to tuck in my pants and then I was ready. After slipping on the gloves, I simply grabbed my coat, tie, and top hat and left the dressing room. I went to look for anyone who was dressed and found Takashi who was already dressed and waiting out in the main room.

Takashi was wearing a pair of white dressy pants that were tucked in some black boots. He was also wearing those prince-like jackets that had that little thing on top of his shoulders, which were a gold color. The jacket was blue and he had buttons that were also gold. Around his waist was a white belt and also one across his chest starting from his right shoulder. He had on white gloves and held a tambourine. But the one thing that surprised me was the feathers that were behind his back. Weird.

"Wow, Takashi! You look cool!" I said to him as I approached him.

"Thank you, Setsuna," He said with a blush.

"I was wondering if you can help me with this tie," I asked him as I approached him.

He nodded his head as I handed him the tie. He placed the tie around my neck and began to work on it. I tried really hard not to blush like crazy since we were extremely close to one another. He as he worked on it, he looked up at me and noticed something.

"You cut your hair," He simply said.

I ran my fingers through my new side-sweep bangs that slightly covered my left eye and said, "Yeah, Hikaru and Kaoru trimmed my hair and gave me bangs."

"I like it. Makes you look even more beautiful."

I blushed and simply looked away.

"What was it that we were doing during lunch?" He asked me as he continued working on my tie.

"Lunch? Oh! We were playing footsie," I told him.

"What is footsie?"

'How do I explain?' I thought for a moment before saying, "It's basically when two people who like each other play with each other by using their feet or legs to touch the other person. This mostly happens when they are sitting down and it is kinda like a way of flirting when people don't want others to notice."

"Really? Well then I'm glad that I was able to do that with you," He said as he finished fixing the tie and now buttoning up my vest.

Just hearing him say that made me blush.

"You know, you look really cute when you blush," He said as his face got closer to mine causing my blush to intensify.

Before I was able to think, I pressed my lips against his and kissed him for a few seconds. Before he was even able to kiss back, I pulled back and saw him blush.

"You know, you look extremely cute when you blush," I said to him before placing my top hat onto my head.

"Setsuna-senpai!"

I turned to look at who called me and immediately I froze. My eyes were wide and then I just started dying of laughter. To see five teenage boys in Victorian bell shaped dresses, make-up, and long hair made me die of laughter.

Hunny was clad in a pink colored dress. Around his hips was white lace and heading down was two white bows, including one on his chest. He had his long light, light brown hair in a pony tail. A pink bow was holding his pony tail. His make-up consisted of pink lipstick, pink blush that was extremely noticeable, light blue eye shadow, and mascara. Even Usa-chan was dressed up with simply a red bow, eyelashes, and red lipstick.

Hikaru and Kaoru were each wearing a light blue and yellow dress. At the top of the dress was a white hem and white ruffle light material, including at the hem of the sleeves and at the dress. Going down vertically were buttons. Their hair was rather bizarre. They had pig tails that kinda looked like a tornado. Their make-up consisted of an apple green eye shadow, mascara, blush, and more natural red lipstick. They even had on green earrings and held orange fans.

Kyoya was wearing a dress that consisted of purple, then a lighter shade of purple and lastly white at the bottom. His sleeved started of puffy, then got tight, and then had a white flare. Over the sleeves was a white ruffle material that stood up and that same material was on his collar. On his chest was a red bow and buttons. He had purple gloves on, held a purple and black fan, and on top of his head was a white ruffle head piece. Kyoya had long hair that was also in a pony tail and the only make-up he had was purple lipstick and mascara.

Last but not least was Tamaki. He was wearing a red and pink dress. The top part was read while the bottom was pink, including the material that was wrapped around his waist. Along the edges of the dress was a gold color. His sleeves were puff and ended at his elbows. The rest was covered in white gloves. Around his neck was a red choker that was made out of lace. He had long blonde hair and on top of that hair was a gold headband that had red puffy material standing up. His make-up consisted of red lipstick, a light reddish blush, mascara, and purple eye shadow which made his eyes stand out even more. On his ears were purple earrings.

"Oh man! This is totally gonna turn out great!" I exclaimed as I wiped tears of laughter out of my eyes. "You really do look like girls!"

"Well, that is the point of the costume, Setsuna-senpai," Hikaru and Kaoru said. "Now put your coat on."

"Okay, okay," I said and started placing my coat. With that on, I asked, "How do I look?"

"You look super cool, Suna-chan!" Hunny said as he was now standing next to me.

"You need to look more masculine. Hm, put your hair into a small ponytail," Hikaru said.

I nodded my head and handed my top hat to Hunny. I was given a hair tie and with that I placed my hair into a low pony tail.

I put the top hat back on and said, "Good?"

"Setsuna-senpai! You look like a young man! Imagine if we made you wear a dress, you would have looked extremely marvelous!" Tamaki said as he spun towards my direction.

"Tamaki, remember the fact that we are trying promote for Haruhi. So that means that Setsuna-senpai has to be an onii-san as well," Kyoya explained to him. "I think we should get into our places now. Don't forget Setsuna-senpai that you sing 'Ouran' after I do," Kyoya said as he looked at me.

"Understood," I said to him.

We made our way to the center of the room. I stood next to Kyoya who was next to Takashi. Tamaki simply clapped his hands and the lights turned off.

'Since when did we have that?' I questioned.

We all bent down and right on time too since the doors opened up. It was quiet for a few seconds but then it started. I knew this because our background changed into blue and purple.

"Ouran~" Kaoru sang in an extremely high pitch tone as he stood up.

"Ouran~" Hikaru sang next with the same pitch.

"Ouran~" Takashi sang next with his deep voice.

"Ouran~" Kyoya sang next.

"Ouran~" I sang as I stood up.

"Ouran~" Hunny cheerfully sang next as his flowers appeared around him and Usa-chan.

And then, the lights turned on.

"Ouran~!" Tamaki sang.

"Host Club~!" We all sang together. "Welcome!"

The look on Haruhi's and the Lobelia girls looked so hilarious. They turned completely white and I mean chalk white. The Lobelia girls had purple lines over their eyes while Haruhi eyes were wide and circular.

"Oh, Haruhi, welcome," Tamaki said as he walked over to the girls.

"Haru-chan, Haru-chan!" Hunny shouted as he twirled towards them as well. "I'm a princess! Do I look good?"

This seemed to have angered Benio as she shouted, "What's the meaning of this? Are you insulting our culture?!"

"Insult? No, of course not. Everything is as planned." Tamaki began and then continued, "If you're a commoner, then this is the ultimate skill that will make crying kids smile, called the 'big "extra" strategy'!"

Big Extra Strategy

We all stood together as our background changed into one of roses.

"I'm sure the Lobelia ladies that were carefully brought up wouldn't know, commoners are very susceptible to extras! Indeed, Haruhi may be attracted to the fascinations of the Zuka Club. But!

"If you choose our club, you can have both onii-samas and onee-samas!"

Tamaki-oneesama Tamaki posed while his right index finger was on his chin and his left hand was out.

Hikaru-oneesama Hikaru posed by lifting his dress up with his left hand and held his fan with his right on his chin.

Kaoru-oneesama Kaoru posed the same as Hikaru but instead he held his dress up with his right hand and held his fan to his chin with his left.

Hunny-oneesama Hunny was posing by lifting his hands up in the air. Usa-chan was in his left hand and had the same pose.

Mori-oniisama Takashi posed by holding the tambourine that was given to him in his right hand and his left near it, like it was about to hit it.

Kyoya-oneesama Kyoya was posing by holding his fan in his left hand which was covering part of his chin. His glasses also gleamed.

Setsuna-oniisama The way I posed was by tilting my top hat downwards using my right hand and placing my left hand across my stomach.

"Yes, it's a scheme of being able to taste what the Zuka Club is like while inside the Host Club."

Scheme

"Look, look, Haruhi!" Tamaki spun around a bit before coming over to Haruhi. "Don't I look beautiful?"

He went away and then came Hikaru and Kaoru.

"We're the Hitachiin sisters. Which one is beautiful?" The said together.

"Something like that," Hikaru said.

"Oh-hohoho~" Kaoru laughed.

Then Hunny came along.

"Haru-chan, Haru-chan! You can call me oneesama, okay?" Hunny said.

Then it was mine, Takashi's, and Kyoya's time to come up to Haruhi. Takashi simply played the tambourine a little bit and I grinned.

Again, Benio couldn't believe this and she said, "Y-You think the fair maiden would fall for such thing?! Do not try to joke, too…"

That's when she was interrupted by Haruhi's laughter. We all just looked at her, well I didn't because I knew that she was gonna laugh. I mean, I was dying of laughter when I saw them.

"I can't handle it…" She was on the ground now. "I don't get this! I knew you guys were idiots, but…" She was now rolling all over the place, laughing.

"Are we that funny?" Hikaru, Kaoru, and Hunny approached her with funny faces; Only to make Haruhi cry out even more.

"Call us Onee-sama!" They chased her around. It looked like they were floating.

"No!"

"Call us!"

"No!"

"Call us! Call us! Call us! Call us!"

"Please stop it already," Haruhi said as she started calming down. "What are you guys thinking?"

"Because we want to work in this Host Club with you," Hikaru said as he lifted his arms up and placed them behind is head.

I looked at Haruhi just to see her get shocked and then smile.

"Fair maiden, you-" Benio started but stopped.

"I'm sorry," Haruhi began as she stood up. "There are many kinds of people in the world, and I do think your way of thinking is unique and interesting, but I have a dream that I want to achieve and that's why I came to this school. I never had any intention of leaving Ouran," She told Benio face to face.

The girls of Lobelia seemed shocked, but we were happy. Kyoya gleamed because of the fact he doesn't have to worry about money, so I think. Tamaki was blushing and crying too. Takashi simply banged the tambourine and I smiled.

"Haruhi!" He cried out but then suddenly realized something. He went over to Haruhi and pointed at her, "Wait, if you never wanted to leave, then why did you get so angry yesterday?"

"Anyone would get mad if their stuff got sold! I liked that pencil because it was easy to write with!" Haruhi shouted at him.

"Sorry…" He looked down. But then he brought out his bear pencil and said, "That's why I offered this bear pencil!"

"I said, I don't want it."

I smiled at the two. I was really glad that this turned out all well. I turned to look at Takashi and smiled at him. In return, he smiled back.

"I won't give up, fair maidens," I sighed again as Benio brought me back to the whole issue.

"We swear…that we will rescue you from this place someday and destroy this host club!" Benio shouted towards our direction.

Again we stared at them blankly.

"Jai Jien (See you again)!" Benio said in Chinese.

They spun their way out of the room… Finally. I watched them go and that's when I noticed something on the floor that they neared. A banana peal. They stepped on it and immediately tripped.

The doors closed as I watched them fall.

"Damn that must've hurt," I said as I turned to look back at everyone.

The lights suddenly turned off and there appeared Renge, wearing the same outfit as yesterday. This time she had a banana in her hand.

"And thus, a new rival, in the form of the Zuka Club, has appeared, and the story reaches and even more interesting part. What shall be awaiting for them ahead? Good luck, Host Club! Do not lose, Host Club!" She shouted before taking a bite of her banana.

"Hey, don't be cooking up things up by yourself!" Tamaki shouted before slipping on a banana peel himself.

I sweat dropped as I watched him land on the ground. I walked over him and held my hand out for him to take. He smiled at me and I helped him off the ground.

"Thank you, Setsuna-senpai," Tamaki thanked me as he removed any dirt off the dress.

"No problem. It wouldn't be nice if I left a lady on the ground now would I?" I teasingly said.

He simply laughed it out and that's when Haruhi came to the picture. With Renge gone, it was time to have a little fun.

"Why what a lovely young lady we have here," I said as I grabbed Haruhi's hand. Using the corner of my eye, I looked at Tamaki. He was slowly, but surely not liking this. "Ayase Setsu at your service, young maiden," I kissed her hand.

That's when Tamaki blew up.

"You're acting like those troublesome twins!"

Hikaru and Kaoru floated towards our direction and stood next to me. "Hey, that's not nice."

I let go of Haruhi's hands and wrapped my arms around the twin's waists. "Let's go ladies. You know, I always preferred brunettes over blondes."

"What do you mean, Setsuna-senpai?! I'm prettier than those bad twins! Wait!" Tamaki shouted as he ran towards my direction.

We turned to look at him running towards us and that's when we laughed. I wiped some of the tears that were falling from my eyes and said, "Where's a camera when you need one?"
