The Transfers just seemed to watch, when around, the Hitachiin's fight, more amused than anything, which really didn't help the situation much. Giving two pranksters an audience is a poor idea, but they didn't get involved, although they did aid with the lunchroom clean up.


Kyouya ended up not inviting the Transfers with the Host Club to his private resort. It was one thing to have a suspicion that Lloyd-kun and Yuri-sempai knew that Haruhi-chan was not a Haruhi-kun, but another to invite them to a location where it would likely be cemented as fact. He excused his actions to the club as this not being a full club function.


"We're going to the beach?" Lloyd-kun had opened the door after the twins announced this, his normally irritating tardiness a blessing in disguise as he and Yuri-sempai missed the talk of swimsuits on Haruhi-chan. Coolidge-san blinked in following.

"Going to an ocean?" There was the first hint of interest in the white haired student's voice. "... I'm joining. For the beach." Coolidge-san said with almost no hesitation to it. He paused at the startled looks. "... and the superintendant told me I need to be in a club."

"I see." Tamaki says, eyeing the other Transfer. "I'll introduce you after I get name idea. Welcome to the Host Club, Senel-kun!"

The Hosts brought Clients, something the twins playfully complained about. Due to the ocean, Lloyd-kun's musical talents were left un-used, although the brunette was interested in beach combing with the girls who decided to go with them. With the Hitachiin's playing volley ball, Tamaki giving special beach alone time, Haruhi-chan watching her client's swim and talking with them, Honey-sempai and Mori-sempai doing their thing. Yuri-sempai was sitting over in the Nekogaiwa cave, doing... nothing, really, as only very few girls dared to head over to him, and Coolidge-san... was swimming. Coolidge-san had taken to diving off the cave in the dark-grey torn-edged shorts he used as trunks, swimming about, and repeating.

When the Hitachiin's came up with the 'Let's find out what scares Haruhi-kun' game, Coolidge-san and Lloyd-kun looked at each other and voiced that they'd be fine without playing. Yuri-sempai, however, simply grinned.

Haruhi reacted without fear to all of the other Hosts, when Yuri-sempai wandered over, and simply gave a wide grin.

"Yuri-sempai..." Haruhi-chan eyed the dark haired senior. "... Are you planning something?"

"Does it scare you?" Yuri-sempai asks, tilting his head a little so the grin was somewhere between mischievous and malevolent.

"..." Haruhi-chan tilted her head in thought, while the other Hosts looked on with bated breath. "No. It worries me, though." Tamaki let out his breath in a great sigh, and beach life returned as Yuri-sempai shrugged and ruffled Haruhi-chan's hair, wandering off.


Kyouya lifted his head from his stopwatch and the list of girls for Tamaki-Alone-Time as some girls – some of the girls who had asked if Coolidge-san could be their Host, for all he hadn't a title yet – came screaming over about Haruhi and thugs. Coolidge-san was already on his feet, the strange bolt-and-chain anklet clanking as he ran up the cliff, jumping the corners of the switchbacks. The twins and Tamaki followed on his heels, and Kyouya turned to send the girls home with a smile and soothing words before following.

He reached the peak in time to see Coolidge-san slam his elbow into a boy's sternum, knocking him down before he could turn to hit one of the Twins, who was ganging up on the other two. Coolidge-san grabbed onto the leg of the boy he'd knocked down, his muscles flexing as he drew the leg up to his shoulder height.

"Coolidge-san, what are you doing?" Kyouya asks, shifting his glasses up as he gave the Twins a hard look.

"Give him a taste." Coolidge-san sounded coldly angry. "This one knocked Haruhi-kun off the cliff." Coolidge-san shook the boy by his leg. "I was going to throw him off."

"Coolidge-san, with him as dazed as he is, hitting the water may knock him out, then drown him." Kyouya shifts his glasses as he takes the wallets from the boys the Hitachiin's had roughed up. "Murder is much harder to cover up." Coolidge-san gave the water one last look, before tossing the boy at his friends.

"I'd go after him if he didn't resurface in half a minute." The white haired boy said, looking grumpy. He blinked shortly after, while the Twins and Kyouya subtly threatened the trouble makers and kept their ID's, and by the time Kyouya turned, Coolidge-san was in the water again.

"I guess he went after Haruhi-kun as well?" Kaoru-kun guesses.


"I didn't do anything wrong." Haruhi-chan says from her spot in Mori-sempai's arms. Yuri-sempai had a look like he was debating finding said thugs.

"No one's gunna buy it." Yuri-sempai puts a towel on her head. "No one ever bought it when I said that."

"Same..." Lloyd-kun has a slight grin on his face, although he looked worried at Haruhi-chan.

"Is that so?" Tamaki ignored the Transfers commentary. "Fine! Do whatever you want! I won't talk to you until you realize your mistake!"

"You are both idiots!" Lloyd-kun proclaims, although he looks more amused than anything. Coolidge-san surfaced from the ocean and held out a pair of flip-flops, before he noticed the fight and shook his head.


Kyouya supposed they were lucky that Coolidge-san had gone out night-swimming, and that Lloyd-kun and Yuri-sempai were thoroughly amused by Nekozawa's aversion to light enough that they followed the other senior out before Haruhi-chan returned in a dress.
