Ritsu walked into the school with his head held high but his spirits low. Cousin Linda had refused to attend classes again and his father had been called in to speak with the headmaster. Ritsu, even for all of his 'issues' never had to have his parents come to the school. He wasn't the best student, but he did want to at least honor his family by attending when he should.

He watched his father enter the school slightly before him and walk to the headmaster's office. Then the future leader of the yakuza walked to his classroom. When he arrived to the hallway his eyes narrowed when he saw the evil Hitachiin twins leaning against the doorframe to his classroom.

"Yo Bossa Nova!" One of them called out causing Kasanoda to cringe. "You want to tell us more on the story of your cousin? Hunny-senpai goes by the kitchen every day to see if she's there and when she isn't he shows up looking kind of sad. Now it's great for business but bad for morale."

"Linda hasn't been at school since Thursday a couple of weeks ago. She can't keep up in her classes and is doing self-study at home through her old school in Colombia." It wasn't a complete lie, but it wasn't the complete truth either. She was at home, but she wasn't doing any sort of studying, save for the dice game Tetsuya had been trying to teach her. "She'll be back tomorrow." He hoped.

Kasanoda walked into this classroom and sat down at his desk. His father had finally found out why Linda had been shipped off to Japan and informed the youth the night prior. Had he known he would have left his cousin alone until she was ready to talk.

Hunny walked through the hallway with Takashi by his side. They checked the kitchens, as was customary, and then headed toward the music room.

"Ne, Takashi, does it show that I feel worried."

"Yes, Mitsukuni." The gentle giant answered.

"Does it make me seem strange or different than normal?"

Takashi leaned over and picked his cousin up and placed him on his shoulder. "Mitsukuni, you have always been able to see the plight of others."

"I love you Takashi." Hunny said as he wrapped his arms around his cousin's head for a hug.

They walked a few more steps and then Hunny jumped down.

"Do you hear that?" He asked as he strained to listen. Takashi nodded. Both boys heard some sort of music coming from the 2nd music room down the hall.

Curiosity taking hold, they walked in the direction of the second music room, which should have been closed, and opened the door. Linda was sitting at the piano with headphones on her ears. She was singing some sort of Italian song.

Hunny jumped for a moment then ran and glomped Linda from behind.

"What in the sam hell?" Linda cursed as she turned to see Mitsukuni staring at her with starry eyes. "Mitsukuni, what are you doing here?"

The older boy laughed. "I wanted to ask you the same question."

"This is a music room." She answered as if it were obvious.

"But you don't make cakes anymore in the kitchen?" Those eyes were enough to make her want to cry.

"I don't have money to buy ingredients right now and I figured it better to stay away from your creepy vice-president. I don't want to have any sort of debt like that poor girl in your ranks."

"You know Haruhi's a girl?" Hunny asked before thinking.

"It's kind of obvious."

"Takashi, is it obvious?"

The silent one nodded his head.

"I guess it is. We don't usually think about it much anymore. Haruhi is just someone who dresses like a boy. How did you know she had a debt?" Hunny asked as he plinked on some piano keys. He couldn't play like Tama-chan but he knew what the notes were.

"I heard it through the grape-vine. In other words, I found out by accident. Not quite sure why anyone was keeping an expensive piece of work in a school anyway, but then again this school is ridiculous. The cost of that vase could have fed all the students in my school for a year."

Hunny's eyes got even wider. "Really?" Then he decided to move things forward. "Linda-kun, why don't you come and see me at my house this weekend? I will have a room made up for you and everything."

Linda looked from Hunny to Mori and back again. That face was so innocent she couldn't say no, so she said yes.

"You did what?" Tamaki asked in mock annoyance once host activities had finished for the day. "Are we invited too?" He was on a kick to try and help the poor girl who obviously needed the host club's special brand of assistance.

"No Tama-chan. I don't think you can help this time." Hunny stated seriously. This comment sent Tamaki to his corner of solitude.

"Are you sure you want to help her senpai? It's not like you are getting anything out of is, save a few sweets every now and then." Haruhi asked.

Hunny smiled at his younger school mate. "I am a lot more perceptive then you think Haru-chan." He winked at her and stuffed a huge piece of cake into his mouth. There was no arguing with him when he made up his mind.
