AGHHHHHH. Haruhi was mentally screaming in her head. They had been at the mall for around two hours now. but the unbelievable thing is . . . they've only been in one petshop. Tamaki had spent half an hour gazing at fishes, half an hour gazing at guinea pigs, half an hour gazing at rabbits and half an hour gazing at hermit crabs.
"Tamaki?" Haruhi was tapping her foot. "you do know that you wanted to get a dog？"
"aha, yea." Tamaki laughed as he scratched his head.
Outside, Kyoya was standing against a pole, sipping his coffee with his trademark smirk in place. Haruhi shut her eyes . . . and concentrated on telepathy to Kyoya help me get Tamaki out of here. Haruhi opened her eyes and looked out the shop window. Didn't work, Kyoya was still standing there smirking. Enough!
"Tamaki, hurry up and choose your dog! We've been in here for two hours and we haven't even looked at the dog section yet! I've got homework to do!" Haruhi raised her voice.
In the matter of two seconds, Tamaki reverted to his famous hunched position in his special corner, attracting a lot attention from the other customers.
Haruhi stormed outside and glared at Kyoya.
"hmm? Can I help you haruhi?" asked Kyoya.
"Yes, that would be nice Kyoya" Haruhi tugged at his sleeve indicating to go in. Kyoya however, didn't get the message and gave her a questionable look. Haruhi then went behind him and pushed him into the store.
"You're heavy Kyoya" Haruhi grumbled from behind.
Kyoya chuckled and took another sip of his coffee.
After ten minutes of persuasion, Tamaki came out of his corner. Within an hour, to Haruhi's relief, they had finally chosen a dog. She was a golden retriever. When they have finished purchasing all the pet's needs, they headed home. She watched with a smile as Tamaki and his dog walked infront of her. They're getting along really well already She thought as the golden retriever attempted to lick Tamaki's hand.
"What should we call her?" a calm and quiet voice came from next to her.
She turned around. "Since when were you walking next to me?"
"Since when was I walking infront of you?"
She considered this for awhile. "Fine, a name right? Shouldn't we ask Tamaki because it's his dog?"
Kyoya shrugged. "Don't we all get a say? We're all living under one roof anyway."
"Right" Haruhi looked at the ground, thinking of the possible names they could call their dog. All of a sudden, she felt a hand grab onto her arm which, jerked her right out of her thoughts and onto the chest of Kyoya as a car sped across the road. A crimson blush crept its way onto her face.
"Are you crazy? Don't you have eyes?" Haruhi looked up at Kyoya's frowning face. "Only a primary school kid would walk across the street without looking." Without meeting her eyes, Kyoya turned and continued walking at a faster pace.
Haruhi frowned. There was really no need to shout at her. Since when did his temper rise so rapidly? Haruhi made her way back to the mansion slowly.

"Alright, lets think of a name" Tamaki cried out enthusiastically.
Haruhi slumped herself onto the living room's futon. She had spent overtime at the petshop and used the last two hours to catch up on homework, skipping dinner.
"Umm, how about . . .Antoinette II?" She mumbled with her eyes half closed.
"That's too much of a handful to say" Kyoya said.
"Um，letsee, what does she remind you of" Tamaki asked.
"A dog" Haruhi immediately said.
"Mother! Haruhi isn't participating enthusiastically!" Tamaki pouted.
Not this again. Kyoya thought Tamaki had already gotten over the whole host club family thing.
"How about summer? She's yellow which is a sunny color." Kyoya kneeled onto the floor and faced the dog. "Summer?"
One golden ear wriggled when she heard the name. Her doggy eyes looked from one person to another.
"Alright its settled, we have a new house member! Enter . . . Summer!" Tamaki scratched the back of Summer's ear affectionately.
Beep. Beep. Beep. "Eh, that's my phone." Haruhi rummaged through her pockets and produced the silver flip-phone that Tamaki had given her. "Hello?"
All of a sudden, Haruhi sat up straight as she pressed the phone to her ear. " . . . Hikaru, Koaru?"

A/N: This is going to be the last time I mention this but, please excuse the fact that the characters are out of character, I'm trying to keep them in buts its kind of hard to produce such a relationship with Kyoya. On a happier note, more members of the host club are going to come in. xD. Thank you to those who have reviewed, I really enjoyed reading them.
