Tamaki was walking down the halls of Ouran, bag over one shoulder and a piano tune twisting blissfully through his head.

A man had pinned a girl against the wall, and was whispering to her. Her face was beet red, but this wasn't embarrassment or infatuation – Tamaki knew how to read blushing faces. This was fear, desperation.

Tamaki marched over, turned the man around by the shoulder, and punched him.


Kyouya sighed. Dressing like cherubs was simply begging for trouble. And him. The idiot. Tamaki knew full well that all females were irrational around him.

Kyouya's left eyebrow shot upward in annoyance. All the way down the hall, he could hear them stampeding!

Tamaki sprinted through the doors dressed as Cupid, and slammed them behind him with a bright smile on his face.

Kyouya flicked him hard on the forehead.


Kaoru stalked back and forth in the music room.

Sitting on the wide windowsill, Hikaru was tired of watching him. "Oi, Kaoru, come tell your beloved brother what's wrong!"

Kaoru stopped long enough to glare at him, and then he jerked his head to indicate the wolf in sheep's clothing.

"What's wrong with Haruhi?"

Kaoru's shoe sailed past his brother and through the window. "You already know!"

"Right," Hikaru grunted.


Mori was only participating in this kendo tournament because his Mitsukuni had said, "You must win!" He really didn't care one way or the other. There wasn't even any prize.

He certainly didn't care.

However, these were the finals. It was nearly over. But his opponent was being troublesome, blocking all of his attacks.

He didn't care, but Mitsukuni did. To lose was unforgivable! His opponent was unforgivable!

He won.


Hunny smiled and sang dreamily to himself as he walked down the hall. He thought of sweeties and pies and sugar cakes all through the day.

"Hey, Haruhi-kun, you're smart, right? Let us copy your homework. I just… couldn't understand it."

Hunny stopped walking.

"No," Haruhi said firmly.

Hunny stopped smiling.

"Come on…" One of the boys grabbed her arm.

"That hurts!"

Luckily, Hunny didn't actually kill any of them.


Haruhi liked to think of herself as someone with an even temper. She didn't yell if she didn't need to, but she wasn't shy if she did. She went through all of her early years with almost no incidents.

But, since entering high school, she had to yell and scold that annoying Tamaki almost daily. It was enough to drive a girl crazy.

She might even hit him. So there.
