"Haru-chan! Good morning! Do you have cake for me?" asked Honey, eyes lighting up.

Haruhi rubbed her temples. "Yes, Honey, don't I always? Check the fridge."

He wriggled his way out of Haruhi's arms and he and Mori made their way over to the fridge. "Yay, strawberry!" Mori got out a slice for Honey, and a slice for himself. "Don't forget Usa-chan, Takashi!"

"Usa-Chan can share my piece." he spoke; which is a rare occurrence.

"Ok!" The boy began smushing pieces of cake onto the stuffed bunny's mouth.

Looking particularly mischievous, the twins walked over to Haruhi. Hikaru put his mouth close enough to her ear so nobody else could hear. "Oh, I see Milord is here. He didn't stay the night, did he?"

"Don't be silly, Hikaru, don't you think Haruhi's a little too innocent for that kind of thing?" Kaoru asked his brother.

"Haruhi's innocent, yes, but you never know what could happen, with Milord being such a pervert and all..."

"Don't be stupid, Hikaru, we wouldn't do… that…!" Haruhi said, turning bright red. She thought about what he had said and it made her wonder... Would they? Would they ever? Well, they probably would eventually, but… would it be soon? She covered her face with her hands, embarrassed for even thinking such thoughts.

"Do what, Haruhi?" Tamaki snuck up behind her and said, loudly, in her ear. Jumping up in surprise, she turned and faced him.

"O-oh… nothing. Nothing. Don't worry about it. And thanks for the heart attack."

Repeatedly hitting Tamaki on the shoulder with the back of his hand, Hikaru cupped his hands around his mouth and whispered, just loud enough for Haruhi to hear, "Hey, Boss, do you really wanna know what we're talking about?"

Karou put his hand on Tamaki's other shoulder. "Yeah, do you really?"

"Uh, Tamaki, come over here for a second!" Haruhi yelled, dragging him along with her. "Oh look, there's Kyoya, let's go say hi!"

Tamaki let himself get dragged. "O-ok?"

She could hear the twins laughing hysterically in the background and mentally shot them both.

XXX (Juliet's POV)

Juliet turned to the tall, handsome boy she had come to know as Mori, and asked, "Do I want to know?"

"Probably not." He answered, with a face void of emotion.

She sighed. "I'm starting to wonder what I've gotten myself into."

He smiled slightly. "Sometimes I wonder, too."

Honey, or at least she thought that was the child's name, looked at Mori with wide eyes and chimed, "Wow, Takashi! You're feeling chatty today, huh?"

Mori shrugged. He seemed like one of those silent-but-strong kind of boys.

Giggling, Juliet watched them interact. It looked as though they had known each other forever. "How long have you two been friends?"

The cute little boy smiled widely at her. "Oh, we've been friends forever! Well, since I can remember at least. He's the bestest friend ever; I don't know how I could have survived 18 years without him!"

Juliet chocked on the milk she had been drinking. The cute, little boy who carried around a bunny stuffed animal and had a serious cake problem, was older than her? "Y-you're 18?"

"Uh-huh!" he said, nodding.

Was he for real? She gazed questioningly at Mori, and he nodded. Wow… so it was true after all. She could tell that living next to these people was going to be interesting.

XXX (Haruhi's POV)

"Hi, Kyoya!" Haruhi said with a little too much enthusiasm.

She instantly regretted it. His eyes were black, with bags underneath. "…Morning," he said, giving them a stare scarier than death.

"Oh, Kyoya, Mommy, did the other's drag you out of bed?" Tamaki asked, patting his head.

"I thought I wasn't mommy anymore. And Yes, the idiots. They don't know what they're in for. They shouldn't forget that I have connections, and if I desire, something very bad could happen to all of them."

Haruhi's eyes averted from his face in discomfort. "Oh…yeah…"

"Don't scare my Haruhi!" Tamaki shouted, embracing her tightly. "And just because I'm not Haruhi's daddy anymore doesn't mean that you still can't be mommy!"

Haruhi tried to wriggle free. "Senpai, don't grab me at random times!"

"But why not? You're so adorable I can't help myself!" Tamaki grabbed her tighter and buried his face in her hair.

Eventually Haruhi gave up on fighting and let him hold her from behind. She avoided the gaze of Kyoya who was still standing there, peeved and uncomfortable.

Kyoya glared around the room. "Hey, who is that lady?" he said, pointing in the direction of Juliet. Haruhi thought he was just trying to break the awkward moment.

"Oh! Juliet! I forgot to introduce her to everyone!" Haruhi realized, breaking free of Tamaki.

The twins spun around in unison. "Wow, there's a girl in here."

Annoyed at their comment, Haruhi glared. "I'm a girl too; you should know that by now."

"I know that, my darling Haruhi!" Tamaki said; as a poor attempt to make her feel better.

She ignored him, and gestured towards the others. "Ignore them; seriously, I do. The things they say almost never make sense. Anyway, Juliet, I'd like you to meet the host club. Well, former host club, I should say."

She gazed at the collection of impossibly handsome boys standing before her. "Host club?"
