The Skirt

Alyssa in Wonderland

Chapter Two: He Panicked!

"A real pinch, that's the phrase I'd use for a situation like this." - Panniku! from Kodocha

"Eh? Haruhi?" Kaoru said.

"She's wearing the girl's uniform!" Honey beamed.

"I don't see a difference." Mori stated.

Kyouya smiled, "It looks rather refreshing, don't you think, Tamaki?"

"Milord, you look shocked." Hikaru commented.

"I think that's quite a bit of an understatement." Kaoru said as he lifted up Tamaki's drooling jaw from the floor and closed it for him, "Should I put his eyes back, too?"

"That's disgusting, let it hang out like that for a while. Maybe if he stays like that long enough, it'll stay that way." Hikaru said, and immediately, Tamaki straightened himself up…well as best he could.

Haruhi made her way towards her friends. No one seemed to notice that she was who she was. "Is she a transfer student?" A girl whispered to another girl.

"Have I seen her before?"

"She looks really cute!"

"She kind of looks familiar…"

"New student?"

There were whispers everywhere but she continued to make her way towards Tamaki and the others. This is when the whisperings became loud comments. "Gasp! The nerves! She's going straight to Tamaki!"

"H-Haruhi?" Tamaki called out.

The whole hallway paused and then…

"HARUHI?!!"

Haruhi scratched her head, "Well…uh…surprise?" That was all she managed to say as boys and girls asking questions all at once immediately swarmed her.

"Y-You're a girl?"

"Are you single?"

"How is this possible?"

"Were you pretending all this time or is this a cross dressing day for the club?"

"Want to go out on a date?"

Haruhi was backed against the wall, "Uh…well you see…"

Someone grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the crowd. She was pulled rather quickly and was looking back. She could see that Kyouya, the twins, Mori, and Honey were trying to control the crowd down. She heard one of the twins answer one of the questions, "No, she's a transgender—of course she's a girl!" Hikaru had said with sarcasm.

Haruhi smiled. Thank goodness her friends were there to help. She looked at her blond savior. It was none other than Tamaki, who was surprisingly not gushing over her for wearing something feminine like most of the time.

"T-Tamaki?" She asked.

However, Tamaki didn't reply and only lead her towards one of the school's gardens. Reaching a quiet area, the two quite out of breath, Tamaki finally turned around with a silly smile on his face, "You sure know how to make an uproar!" He said.

Haruhi smiled back, she had thought that Tamaki would be angry, being her protective "father" and all. Relieved she replied, "They were all just overreacting."

Tamaki stopped smiling and looked down at both of their hands. He quickly dropped Haruhi's hand, "S-Sorry!" He quickly apologized and stepped away from her. His cheeks slightly burned and he turned around so that she couldn't see. Haruhi looked at Tamaki strangely, what was that for?

She shrugged and decided to sit down on the soft grass, "Ah, all that running has me tired." She said to Tamaki as she looked up the blue sky. Tamaki turned around and saw Haruhi sitting down. He sat down next to her, the heat from his face had, thankfully, subsided.

"Are you angry?" She asked, this time, staring at Tamaki.

"Angry? No, I was just shocked." Tamaki replied. I'm beyond shocked! The only thing holding me together was…well really nothing! Why would Haruhi wear a skirt? She exposed herself! There will be wolves out to get my poor little daughter! Daddy must protect—

Tamaki looked over her quickly,"For a little bit, though," Tamaki continued, "Daddy is actually proud of his daughter! Finally blooming into a flower!"

Haruhi looked at Tamaki. She wasn't sure why she had a terrible, huge urge to beat the living hell out of the dimwit in front of her, but she controlled her shaking fist and smiled in return, "I'm glad you aren't angry. Besides, I'm still the same Haruhi." She said returning her gaze back to the sky as she flopped down on the grass on her back.

Tamaki continued to stare at her, "Yes, the same Haruhi…" He said although he wasn't sure if she heard it since he could barely hear himself over his heart's loud beating.

A blush, once again, appeared on his face. Tamaki panicked, what the hell is wrong with me?! It's just like that time I wanted to kiss Haruhi…am I really a perverted father?!!

Author's Notes: I'll try to upload chapter three as soon as possible. Can you believe this? I was going to sleep and all of a sudden I had this crazy idea for another story! I couldn't sleep at all and had to write down everything!
