Haruhi walked out of the school building with the boy. As she stepped out into the slightly chilly morning, the twins attacked her. "What took you so long, Haruhi?" Hikaru asked.

"Aren't you supposed to be helping out at the rides?" Haruhi asked, trying to relieve herself from the twins' death grips on her.

"Well," Kaoru answered. "We were getting bored without you. So we thought that we'd bring you along to test one of the rides they had just set up."

Wonderful. Now she was a test subject. "Aren't the hired workers supposed to do that?" Haruhi asked.

"No way, it wouldn't be fun if we let them do all the work!" Hikaru grinned.

"Onii-san, I'm going to go back to the booth," said the little boy as he ran off.

"I wonder what the others are doing," Kaoru said mildly.

"Who cares," Hikaru replied as Haruhi successfully escaped from the two brothers' embraces.

"Haruhi-onechan!"

The three high school students turned to the source of the voice and saw a boy running towards them. Haruhi's eyes brightened up as Hikaru and Kaoru raised their eyebrows as they looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Then the twins suddenly froze as they both realized that the child had called Haruhi 'onechan.'

Hikaru blocked Haruhi from the boy's view. "What are you talking about, bozu? This is a guy here, hahaha," Hikaru laughed nervously.

"Haruhi, you must be so embarrassed from being mistaken as a girl all the time," Kaoru added, laughing nervously as well.

The kid stopped in front of the two twins and stared up at them. Hikaru and Kaoru stopped laughing and stared back. "You guys must be stupid if you really think Onechan is a guy," the kid said, shaking his head sadly.

Hikaru felt his vein in his forehead throb. "You—"

"Toshiro, what are you doing here?" Haruhi asked, pushing the Hitachiin brothers aside.

"Mother saw the flyer and heard from your dad that you were going to be working here. She dropped me Keichi and me off in the morning. Then Keichi left me to hang out with his friends," Toshiro sniffled.

"Wait, who's Keichi," Kaoru asked.

"More importantly, who's this guy," Hikaru asked, peering at Toshiro over Haruhi's shoulder.

"Oh, sorry. Let me introduce everyone. Toshiro, this is Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. And this is Toshiro Hamada," Haruhi said. "I use to baby sit Toshiro when I was in middle school. I haven't lately because I've been too busy with the host club and other random things."

Hikaru and Kaoru averted their eyes as they felt Haruhi's cool glare when she said the last part about being busy with random things. Toshiro reached for Haruhi's sleeve as he added, "Also, Keichi is my older brother."

Kaoru smiled and held out his hand to shake Toshiro's hand. "Pleased to meet you, Toshiro. Have you checked out the rides yet?"

Hikaru turned his head away as he said gruffly, "Yea, why don't you head over there and try it. We can't really hang out with you right now because we're too busy."

"Hikaru, that's rude! Imagine how scared he probably is. Ouran is a large, intimidating place." Haruhi said as she turned to Toshiro. "I'll hang out with you until we find your brother. Let's go, Toshiro."

As she walked off with Toshiro at Hikaru's dismay, Toshiro turned around to stick his tongue at the older twin and smirked at him before he disappeared around the corner with Haruhi.

"That brat!" Hikaru cursed after realizing what had took place. He ran after them, yelling, "Haruhi! Wait up!"

"Hikaru," Kaoru said quietly. Hikaru was jealous. Was he finally going to realize how important Haruhi was to him? Kaoru watched Hikaru's disappearing back a bit before he chased after him. What would he do if Hikaru left him behind as he had just then? Will he be chasing his back forever on as he was now?

Hikaru manned the ride as Kaoru kept his eyes on the riders. Hikaru muttered something unintelligible under his breath. Kaoru knew it must have been something about the boy that Haruhi was riding with. Hikaru scowled as he thought about how Haruhi and the little brat had been riding on the rides for at least half an hour. For some reason, he felt extremely irritated. He didn't understand why. "Kaoru," Hikaru said. "Why aren't you mad?"

Kaoru looked over at his brother and replied with a chagrined smile, "I've just got more control than you, Hikaru. Remember Karuizawa?"

"Ugh, don't remind me of that jerk, Arai-what's-his-name," Hikaru groaned.

Kaoru laughed as he signaled for him to get ready to stop the ride. Soon, Haruhi and Toshiro were at the gate of the ride, where the twins were manning it. "Let's do it again!" Toshiro pleaded.

"Wait in line for your turn," Hikaru said gruffly. "There are others waiting to get on."

"Hikaru," Haruhi said with a disapproving tone. "You don't have to be that mean to Toshiro."

"What?" Hikaru cried. "I didn't do anything!"

"Toshiro?" A new voice said.

The four turned and saw an older boy looking worried. "Toshiro, where have you been the whole time? You ran off the moment Mom drove off! Boy, are you in big trouble!" he boy said, grabbing Toshiro by the collar of his shirt.

"Keichi?" Haruhi asked, recognizing the older boy. "What you just said…what exactly do you mean?"

"Ehehe," Toshiro laughed nervously, realizing the predicament that he was in. "I guess it's time for me to leave. Onechan, that was fun! Let's do it again sometime soon! You have to come visit me, okay?" The little boy stood on tiptoe and pulled Haruhi down to his level to give her a peck on the cheek. "Bye!" he said as he went ahead of his older brother. Keichi turned back to give an apologetic smile at Haruhi before he went after his brother.

As the astonished twins and Haruhi watched the Hamada brothers disappear from sight, a little girl yelled out, "Hey! When is the ride going to start?"

The three snapped back into reality. "That little impudent twerp!" Hikaru said angrily, referring to Toshiro and his bold act.

Kaoru chuckled as Haruhi turned to Hikaru and smiled. "Hikaru, you wanted me to ride with you instead of Toshiro, didn't you?"

Hikaru looked away, embarrassed, as he muttered, "What are you talking about?"

"Didn't you ask me to ride one of the rides earlier?" Haruhi asked, tilting her head.

Hikaru muttered something along the lines of, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Kaoru laughed again and pushed Hikaru forward. "Go have fun, I can man the ride myself. Hurry up before these kids ambush us!"

As the two went on the ride, Kaoru watched them. It seemed like Hikaru was still in denial. While he was starting up the ride, someone chuckled and said, "Doesn't this seem familiar?"

Kaoru glanced out of the corner of his eye as he realized it was Kyoya. "Mm," he replied.

Kyoya leaned against the railing as he observed Haruhi and Hikaru arguing with each other on the ride. "Are you sure that he didn't fall in love with Haruhi that time in Karuizawa?"

Kaoru watched them for a bit before replying, "I'm not sure. But there is one thing that is for sure. Hikaru doesn't think that he's fallen for her."
