The hyperactive little ball of blond hair and energy pulled Linda into the music room where he was immediately whisked away. Linda stood on the spot, motionless.

"Mitsukuni?" Takashi asked a whole slew of questions in one word.

"Hiya Takashi!" Hunny giggled, hugging his taller cousin. "I was in the kitchen with Linda. She made these yummy strawberry cakes and I like strawberries. I like cakes too. So a strawberry cake is extra delicious, ne Takashi? I'm okay though. It was nice." Then he leaned in and whispered. "She's a lot nicer than we thought."

Linda was ready to leave and had made to turn around and exit the room before her escort even knew she had gone. That didn't happen, of course.

"Linda-kun!" Hunny shouted running after her.

"Linda-kun?" Asked about 30 voices in the room. This was followed by various comments, including, "Since when has Hunny ever added –kun to anyone's name, or –san for that matter?"

"You should sit over here with us and we can eat more cake."

Linda ducked her head in embarrassment. This was almost too much for her at that particular point in her life.

The fact that Hunny didn't seem to mind her being there prompted Kyouya to get everyone back to work. Business was business after all.

/GG/

Following the closing of the doors after club activities ceased, Kyouya walked over to Hunny who was animatedly telling Linda everything she didn't want to know about…well everything.

He stood in front of her with a slight glare coming off his glasses.

"I am sure you are aware that we do not charge for our services, but we do expect some sort of compensation for taking up an entire afternoon of Hunny-senpai's time. Might I suggest buying one of his photo books?" Always the shrewd businessman.

"Uh." Linda blushed. She'd seen one of those books and knew that there was no way she could afford to spend 10000 yen on something so material.

"It's okay." Hunny said with a smile. "I invited her here today as my guest."

"Sorry." Linda stood up to make good her escape, finally. "I should be going." She nodded at Hunny and hightailed it to the hallway and then all but ran out of the building.

"Hunny-senpai, I know you like to see new girls come in and sit with you and vie for your attention, but we still need to make money somehow. If only one person doesn't pay then the others will start to get the same idea and the club will need to close."

"You really are a group of rich jerks at times." Haruhi spit. "I am sure you won't lose any money for her showing up one day and it's not like she dominated Hunny-senpai's time, she just sat there and did nothing for three hours."

"I am only thinking of the club. Hunny bringing a new friend who cannot help the club doesn't help me. I would have thought you were already aware of this Haruhi."

"Whatever." She scoffed and walked off to clean the clubroom and go home.

"Haruhi is right Kyouya. I hardly think one afternoon is going to hurt the club." Tamaki said in all seriousness. "Besides." He added with his flair for dramatics. "She did bring us cake."

"Which Hunny-senpai devoured before we could try any." The twins said in unison.

"True, but that's money the club has saved in the extra sweets he would have eaten." Tamaki pointed out.

"He's got you there Kyouya-senpai." Kaoru said.

"Those sweets you would have to purchase would cost a whole lot more than one afternoon of Hunny-sempai's time." Hikaru added.

Kyouya pushed his glasses up his nose and grinned. "I am merely pointing out that I don't want him or anyone else to make a habit of bringing in guests who cannot keep this club afloat." With that he turned and walked off.

"Harsh man." Kaoru said as he fell into a chair. Hikaru sat on the armrest. "You have a nice chat with her senpai?"

Hunny was fiddling with Usa-chan. "She has too many names."

"That's all you got from her?" Hikaru asked.

"Senpai, did you talk about anything useful, such as why she left the other day."

Hunny looked at his younger club mates with big eyes. "No. If she wants to tell me anything or anyone else anything she will. There's no reason to push because I know if someone pushes she will cry…and I don't like to see anyone cry."
