"Oh, well about Haruhi, he's doing a few errands.But if it's okay, I could take Haruhi's place for awhile"Tamaki asked sincerely
"Hmmmm...well"Mikan thought
"Good! Lets go!"Tamaki quickly grabbed Mikan's hand and took her to the dance floor
"Hey!Tamaki-sempai!"Mikan exclaimed
'That stupid pretty boy, he's flirting with Mikan again' Natsume thought while glaring at the two on the dancefloor
'Great, now I must think of another plan to confess' Ruka was irritated
Then...
"Okay Haruhi, now it's your chance"Kyouya said while dancing with Haruhi. They're just across the buffet table where Natsume and Ruka were busy thinking
"But wait Kyouya-sempai"Haruhi said but it was too late since Kyouya pushed her away, towards...
"AAAAAH!!!"Haruhi screamed but somehow, someone manages to catch her
"Are you okay?"Natsume asked
"Oh, I'm so sorry sir"Haruhi said while looking through Natsume's eyes 'Whoa, his eyes sure is warm'
'This girl' Natsume thought
"Natsume, are you okay?"Ruka asked
"Hey, do I know you?"Natsume asked Haruhi
"Oh, not really. But, thanks for helping me"Haruhi then stood up and patts her dress to remove the dirt, while Natsume took a closer look at her face
'She's kinda cute...just like Mikan, so cute and innocent...But, wait, what am I thinking' Natsume then shakes his head. Then another girl approaches the two boys
"Hotaru, its that you?"Ruka asked
"Hey, lets go"Hotaru then grabbed hold to Ruka's arm and starts to pull the guy away from Natsume and Haruhi
"Wait! Where are you taking me?!"Ruka asked
"Obviously to the dance floor"Hotaru said
"But, I'm waiting for someone!"Ruka said
"She's busy dancing with another guy, for now, you dance with me"Hotaru said
"But I didn't...I didn't ask..."Ruka was sweating, due to the fact that he can't say it properly, since he doesn't want to hurt Hotaru's feelings
"Look Ruka, today's generation of youth, girls have the power to ask boys out, I know how you feel and now, I want to spend this special night...with you"Hotaru then stopped walking and looked at Ruka
'Hotaru...'Ruka thought
"What are you waiting for, start leading"Hotaru said while putting Ruka's hands on her waist and her hands rests on Ruka's shoulders
"OH! Right"Ruka looked at Hotaru and they started dancing
Meanwhile...
"Hey, what's your name?"Haruhi asked
"Why are you asking my name for?"Natsume asked
"So, I know how should I call you"Haruhi said, which made Natsume think
"So...If you don't want to tell me...then"Haruhi said
"Natsume"Natsume said
"Natsume. That's a nice name, well-"
"Aren't you going to tell me your name?"Natsume asked
"Oops, I almost forgot"Haruhi rubbed her head and laughed at herself and Natsume just smirked
"I'm Haru...ka! I'm Haruka"Haruhi sweatdropped 'Good, I almost revealed my identity'
"Haruka eh"Natsume said while raising one brow
"So Natsume, what's with the corsage?"Haruhi asked
"Why do you ask?"Natsume asked
"Just curious"Haruhi said
Natsume ignored her.
"Can I touch it?"Haruhi asked
'Well it's not the end of the world if I just let her touch it, damn this girl is so cute' Natsume thought "Whatever..."then Natsume gave Haruhi the corsage to gave her a closer look at it
At the dance floor..
"Tamaki-sempai, what is taking Haruhi so long?"Mikan asked
"Just relax, he's coming any minute now"Tamaki said 'Haruhi, go to the forest now, I'm running out of excuses'
By the time when Mikan looked at the Buffet table, she saw Natsume with another girl
'Hey, that's Natsume...and..who's that girl?'Mikan thought
"Hey Mikan"Tamaki said
'Why...why did Natsume gave that girl a corsage?'Mikan thought, then she felt the pinch of jealousy
"Whoa, this corsage is beautiful. You know what, the girl recieving this must be very special to you"Haruhi said
"Yeah, she is"Natsume muttered
"Did you say something Natsume?"Haruhi asked
"Nothing"Natsume said then he noticed Mikan looking at them, while dancing with Tamaki
'Okay she noticed us, now, how should I get Natsume to confess? Tamaki-sempai is so unfair to give me such a difficult task' Haruhi thought
"Hey, lets go to the forest...I want to show you something"Natsume grabbed Haruhi's hand then they walked quickly inside the forest
'Oooookay...that was sudden' Haruhi sweatdropped while Natsume pulled her inside the forest with him
Meanwhile, near the entrance, at the dining section, the other host club memebers seems to enjoy the view
"I told you Kyouya-sempai that we should've given that guy Natsume one of our mushy love letters"Hikaru complained
"But, LOOK!"Kaouru exclaimed while pointing at Haruhi and Natsume, going to the forest
At the Dance Floor..
'Where is Natsume taking that girl' Mikan curiously thought
"Mikan, are you okay?"Tamaki asked
'Gasp! Why are they going to the forest?! That pervert Natsume!!' Mikan thought
"Mikan, I just-"Tamaki was interupted
"Hey Tamaki-sempai! I just remembered, there is...ah...a SPECIAL PLACE! Here in the academy"Mikan said
"REALLY! WHERE IS IT?!"Tamaki asked ethusiastically
"Come! It's over there!"Mikan then grabbed Tamaki and headed to the forest where Natsume and Haruhi went
At the Host-club dining table
"GASP! Look Kyouya sempai!"Hikaru pointed at Tamaki and Mikan, going inside the forest
"They're going to the same forest Natsume and Haruhi went!"Kaouru said
"Relax men, they'll be just fine"Kyouya said while eating his steak
"Hey Takashi, lets get more cake at the sweet buffet"Hunny insisted
"Hn"Mori said then he lifted Hunny up, to his shoulders and he starts to walk. Giving the audience a vision of a big brother carrying his baby brother
"AWE!!!"the girls said, some even fainted
On the other side...where Hotaru and the others are...
"Hey Hotaru, have you seen Mikan?"Yuu asked
"Hmmm..."Hotaru said while looking at Mikan and Tamaki going to the forest
"Nope"Hotaru said while eating her crab cake
"Okay then"Yuu said
"I seem to get you drift Hotaru"Koko said while holding his chin
"That's so unfair of you Koko! You and Hotaru are keeping secrets"Anna complained
"Yeah!"Mochi and Nonoko said
"Well, whatever it is, I'm sure this is another Mikan and Natsume issue, right Yuu?"Sumire smiled
"Uh...yeah!"Yuu sweatdropped
"Hey Ruka, are you okay?"Koko asked, which made Hotaru look, of course unnoticable
"Huh? Oh, I'm alright"Ruka said while smiling. Koko is not satisfied with Ruka's answer so he tries to read Ruka's mind
'I guess, I lost the game...I'm happy for you Natsume...Besides, you're the one who deserves her more than I am...Hotaru, you're right. I shouldn't love her, but I wanted to, I just can't turn away. But, what you said to me is true; I'm just hurting myself. I'm fully aware of Mikan's feelings for Natsume and same aslo for Natsume. And still, I tried to make Mikan fall for me but she only sees me as one of her closest friends.Hehehehe...Natsume, Mikan,take care of each other, okay'Ruka thought
"Ruka, want to drink with me later?"Koko asked
"Oh, sure!"Ruka then gave Koko a nasty head rub
"Hey! Ruka! Stop that! You're ruining the hair man!"Koko complained
Hotaru looked at the two, playing around like a bunch of kids. She released a slight smile and she again, focused herself, eating crab cakes.
