Chapter 5

(Haruhi POV)

Oh my god. I have never been more nervous than I was with Kurai this afternoon. The way he leaned down to me and whispered in my ear...I felt like I was flying.

I scowl. 'Get a hold of yourself Haruhi! He's just going to find some other girl. You can't be with him. It's not possible. You're a host. You can't just stop that just because of him.' But another voice comes into my head.

'But you could quit, you know. You've payed off your debt, you could just 'casually' let it slip that you're a girl."

I shake my head to clear my thoughts. That's not how I should be thinking. I would be questioned so much, I wouldn't be able to think! I would have to move out of the country to let that go. And plus.. what would happen with Tamaki and everyone else?

I'm not going to try to let go of being a Host. If it somehow gets out, it's fine. But I'm not going to look for it. I guess... I'll just have to watch from afar.

(Kurai POV)

I'm sitting in a small teashop right now with Kiku, going over everything in the plan and making sure there are no loopholes. Kiku's really smart, she wants to be a lawyer, so she's very good at spotting little details.

"Ok, Kurai, so if you're going to go through with this, you need to start this part of the plan by the end of the week," she points at a list I have on the table.

"I've already started, so that shouldn't be impossible to accomplish," We lapse into silence, and I hear a slight rustling behind me, in a plastic bush. I smirk. I know what it is, and I'm going to nip it in the bud. "Kiku, I've got to... go ask Ayame something," I give her a look, and she knows what I'm going to do.

My siblings and I actually have a very good understanding of each other. I suppose it comes from the fact that we need each other for a lot of things. I get up slowly and walk towards another table, where my other sisters are sipping some tea. The smell of it is very minty.

"Ayame? Yuri? We have... unwanted guests. Could you please... show them out?" I obviously portray this correctly to them, because they nod together and subsequently stand up. Ayame leads the way to an exit, where she will be able to sneak back in.

I walk back to Kiku, who was smiling at me. I sit down and wait for the show to begin.

(Hikaru POV)

When Kaoru had made the bush rustle and Kurai had stood up, I thought it would be over. But he just got up to talk to some girls, who immediately leave. I smirk. 'So, I guess you can't get all the girls, huh?'

We have a job to do. Kyoya wanted us to plant a bug in this shop so he could listen in on any of Kurai's conversations at this tea shop. Kyoya told us he comes here a lot.

I look over at Kaoru. He's setting up the small chip that will stay in the pot of the plant we're hiding behind. Kaoru quickly places the chip in the pot and angles the microphone towards Kurai's table. He looks over at me triumphantly, but then I feel a hand on my hand.

I turn around to see two sets of golden eyes staring at me. Me and Kaoru are starstruck. These were the two girls who Kurai had talked to. They cross their arms at the same time. Then one of them looks at the other.

"Look at that, Kurai was right for once," one of them say. Her voice is very sweet, and I would assume her sisters' is too.

"Yeah, for once. Why don't we escort you poor lost puppies out?" The other asks, but it's more like a command. The first reaches for my arm, and the other reaches for Kaorus. They quickly lead us out of the shop.

I try to work my way out of this. "So, who do we have the pleasure of being escorted by?" I ask. It sounds a little grammatically incorrect but I don't care. It doesn't work though, the girl holding my arm just glares at me.

Both of them talk at the same time. "Ayame, I think this kid is trying to win us over," I look at them. They keep talking as in they're having a conversation. "Yeah, Yuri, but that was a weak attempt. How is it that these two are popular hosts?"

I'm so confused. They really don't want us to know who's who, because they talk together so they don't address each other with one voice. It's kind of like the way me and Kaoru play the Which-one-is-Hikaru Game. We want to be told apart for who we are, not for our looks.

"So, Ayame, Yuri, why are you working for Kurai?" The one holding my arm looks at me again. I feel like that's Ayame, but I don't know.

"For your information, we are not working for Kurai. Our brother has simply provided us with a game to play, and when we get bored, we'll leave him to it." The girl holding Kaoru says. Then the one on mine smirks.

"Yes, but I don't think we'll get bored quickly. This is entertaining. I'd like to see how it turns out." the girls say. Then I notice something. The girl on my arm holds herself straighter, and she's very confident of herself. Once I can find out which is which, I'll be able to remember who is who.

By the time we had finished talking, they were a few blocks away, and they neatly threw us into one of their family's cars, telling the driver to take us back to Ouran and make sure they don't come back.

As we walk into the room, I see Kyoya on his laptop, trying to get the little chip to work.

Tamaki stares over Kyoya's shoulder. "Is it working, Kyoya?" Kyoya shakes his head, clearly annoyed. I look over in Haruhi's direction. She's staring off into space, eyes twinkling. I smirk and nudge Kaoru.

"Uh oh, Kaoru, we have a dreamer," I tell him, and we stalk over to Haruhi.
