Chapter 3: Secret Date

Tamaki had never been to these hot springs before so he didn't know anymore about the place than Haruhi. The place was huge and was always something new and elegant around every corner. They passed through the main lobby again which was a laborite composition of gold and dark marble, it even had a water fountain. They passed by the main ball room which was draped all in scarlet velvet, with large golden chandeliers that hung from the ceiling and tall exuberant windows. Outside of the ballroom, was a small cherry blossom garden that was in full bloom which they strolled through for a short time. Eventually they made it to the gift shop which was the size of a department store but sold items ranging from clothing to nick-knacks and other common souvenirs to local art from that area of Japan.

"We might as well look around, Rukia." Tamaki said to Haruhi as they came to the entrance of the store; it took him a second to actually say Rukia instead of Haruhi but he was getting used to it. Haruhi looked up at Tamaki, and nodded with a smile. She didn't have any money with her currently, but it wouldn't hurt to look around to see if there was something she wanted. Haruhi figured that she could always just come back later.

Because that Haruhi looked...well, like Rukia and the fact that Tamaki was wearing only his sunglasses, white dress shirt, black pants and straw sandals, He figured there was no problem of them being spotted out by people other than the Host Club Members; but mainly his customers. He knew if he was seen by one of his customers with a girl outside of club activities, less would want to request him because they would think that he was dating her.

Regardless of that problem, he was having the time of his life because this was one of his first times to be able to do something with Haruhi alone. He remembered that Hikaru had a date with her, both twins had been stuck with her in that haunted house and that summer home, and she's been together with Kyoya a day at the indoor market. He was very glad to finally be able to spend personal time with her and he did his best to remain behaved, although he had a few of his moments, so that Haruhi wouldn't be like she.

They walked around the store, pointing out things that caught their interest. If no one was looking, they would also pick up one of the little toys and play with them a bit. It was something to do, Tamaki sure enjoyed it.

As they walked, Haruhi kept eyeing Tamaki constantly. There seemed to be something on his mind, but nothing really bad. He was probably thinking about how much fun he was having. On the other hand, Tamaki's mind couldn't wander away from the two of them. Usually when he was out and about his mind wandered all of the time from one thing to another (like how he thought of hosting gay guys while they were in the hot springs trying to relax). However lately he was all focused on his time with Haruhi and it felt really good. What is this feeling, was one of his thoughts as he walked around the store, I feel different than i usually do around her... Usually he just felt gratuitous amounts of joy or innocent likeness towards her but this was different, yet better.

Haruhi continued to look around at the little things on the shelves, until something caught her eye. She ran over to it and picked it up, so she could examine it. She brought it up close to her face, in awe. "Senpai, it's beautiful." It was a heavy, big paper weight in the shape of a globe, made out of stone, or at least it seemed to be. The longitude and latitude lines were silver. The Equator was red. The continents were labeled. Some of the big and major countries were labeled and were bordered. The water areas were a black, swirling silver color. The labeled countries were various, but natural colors as well.

Tamaki became highly alert as to what he she thought was so elegant and he wanted to know eagerly. Haruhi turned and showed it to Tamaki. She hoped that he would like it as much as she did. Tamaki took it and examined it with much enthusiasm as he looked at the fine silver engraving and the silver and dark swirls around most of it. "Very beautiful indeed." he said as he held it up higher to make it look like he was examining it in the light. However, what he was trying to do was catch a glimpse at its price without Haruhi suspecting him of anything. He turned it fully around and he caught a quick glimpse at the price. $64.99 he thought to himself, not bad, I need to remember this globe and that price.

He handed it carefully back to Haruhi said to her, "You have a good eye for elegance." He went on down that row a little further to try and find the next thing they would gawk at. As he came up to a jewelry rack, a set of necklaces caught his eye immediately. They were two necklaces and each necklace had a gold-plated pendant that looked like two halves of a broken heart. Each half of the heart had a yin yang half along the break line so that when the two heart halves were put together, the yin yang came together as well. Each pendant hung on its own braided leather chain with gold fasteners.

Tamaki too the two necklaces, one in each hand, and just stared at the two of them. He held them a few inches apart from each other so that they didn't link together and gazed upon them with mystified eyes. He didn't call Haruhi over as he was now lost within his own mind just looking at the pendants. He sighed heavily as he looked at them and thought to himself, this is a sad sight, to see two halves apart like this... Tamaki looked more particularly at the half with the black part of the yin yang and then thought ... I wonder who's half belongs to me...

Haruhi walked over to the dazed Tamaki, still holding the paper weight. She watched him look at the two necklaces in amazement. He seemed to like them very much, maybe just as much as she liked the paper weight. Without Tamaki noticing, Haruhi looked at the two necklaces tag and read the price. $11.99? she thought I would've thought that Senpai would look at more expensive things. But knowing him, he probably didn't even notice the price. Haruhi rolled her eyes and then smiled at Tamaki. "Do you want those two necklaces, Senpai? I could buy them for you, if you want. Well, as long as I can go get my wallet first."

Tamaki was so lost in thought that when Haruhi spoke to him it startled him. He clasped his hands together and jumped back a little with a terrorized face. After he realized what had happened, he sighed heavily, held his chest with his left hand and said, "You startled me Rukia." after taking in a few more breaths he added, "I guess my mind drifted a little there."

He then remembered that he was holding those two necklaces. He looked from his left hand to his right hand and saw they were both in his right. However, somehow in the ruckus, the two halves linked together and he stared at it for a moment. He then looked over at Haruhi, closed his fist over the whole heart, and smiled. "Thank you Haruhi," he said to Haruhi in a light tone, "I'll get it."

After a few more minutes of looking, Tamaki strolled over to the cash register as he glanced at other items on his way there. The cashier rang op the price and he pulled out his wallet from his back pocket and purchased the two necklaces.

Tamaki guided Haruhi back to the entrance while trying to tear the tags off of the necklaces. Once they reached the exit, he took Haruhi's palm, placed the one heart with the white yin-yang half in her hand and then gently wrapped her fingers around it. Haruhi looked down at her hand as Tamaki wrapped her fingers around the necklace. Once he was done, she looked up at him, looking directly into his eyes as he said to Haruhi to explain his actions, "A present."

Haruhi then opened up her hand and stared at the necklace in awe. It wasn't the best thing that's she's ever received as a present, but this small little necklace meant a lot to her, honestly. She was in slight awe. Tamaki then started to walk in the next direction while he slipped on the other necklace and tucked the pendant into his shirt. "Shall we move on?" Tamaki asked Haruhi over his shoulder as he was strolling along slowly waiting for her to come up to him.

Haruhi looked up from her palm, and faced Tamaki. She nodded and said quietly, "Yeah, let's move on."

The two of them continued to walk through out the hotel, looking at every pretty thing in site, or at least Tamaki seemed to be. He did all in his power to look at everything else besides Haruhi. I need to keep her happy... he thought to himself, if I pay too much attention to her she might get want to leave... Haruhi was looking at everything else as well, but her mind was still set on the necklace.

As Tamaki guiding Haruhi through the very elegant dinning room when she finally stopped him. She gasped suddenly, and ran up next to Tamaki, who was in front of her quite a bit. "Senpai, I wanted to thank you for the necklace. I love it." Haruhi took the necklace from her hand, and wrapped it around her neck. She then picked up her half of the yin-yang heart, and showed it to Tamaki, with a big smile across her face.

Tamaki turned around to see Haruhi was holding her gift and wearing a smile across her face. He turned back quickly, tensed up and thought to himself, Not Fair! Too Cute! Too Cute! Too Cute!!! He tried to compose himself but he still wore a slightly flushed face while wearing a smile himself. He took out his pendant from his shirt, linked it with Haruhi's for a second and said sincerely, "Your welcome and I'm glad you like it."

He took back his pendant and stashed it away as he looked around the dinning room. It's getting near time for supper, he thought to himself, I should probably get Haruhi back to 'Haruhi'. He took out his cell phone and flipped it open and fumbled with it to get it to the text pad. "Confounded thing..." he muttered to himself, "I never understood how this thing worked." after about 3 minutes he finally had a message composed on it saying...

-mori
sry if i made u worry, Rukia is w/ me
im takin her bak 2 the room now
c u soon
-tamaki

He then sent the message to Mori and forwarded a copy to Kyoya but changed "mori" to "kyoya". "Let's head on back now." Tamaki said to Haruhi, "it's almost time for dinner and you need to 'change'." It took him awhile to try and figure out how to get back to the rooms but once they were by the right hallway, Tamaki stopped and said, "It'd be best if you went ahead of me. People might start asking questions if they see me come up to the room with you."

Haruhi nodded and went ahead of Tamaki. She looked around, making sure that no one other than host club members were there. Once the coast was clear, she swiped her card key and went inside her room. Haruhi walked over to her original set of clothes and grabbed them. "I was hoping that I wouldn't have to worry about going back and forth between two genders this week." She said to herself "Oh well I guess." She then went back the door, locked it every way possible, backed away towards the bathroom, and changed. There was no point in having to actually go in the bathroom if she was the only one there, but she never knew what might happen.

Haruhi carefully took her wig off and set it down gently on the small round table next to her. She took her time getting in and out of her clothes, making sure she left none of "Rukia's" clothing on. Once she was actually dressed, Haruhi walked into the bathroom and fixed her hair, making it look as if she wasn't wearing a wig for the past few hours.

Haruhi sighed, but then tried to put on her best smile as she looked into the mirror. "There, that should do just fine." Haruhi sighed heavily once more, and walked out of the bathroom. She grabbed her wallet and card key, put them in her pant pockets, and sat down on one of the chairs in the room. She leaned back with a soothing sigh. "I think I'll stay here and rest for a few minutes, or at least until someone comes knocking on the door."

Tamaki waited for the door to click a second time and then he came around the corner and casually waltzed over to the guy's room. He was in such a fabulous mood after having his little 'date' with Haruhi that he spun once before he swiped his card and opened the door to his room. His mood dropped instantly as he saw that all of the host members were already back, even Mori and Hunny, and they were all sitting near the door, waiting for him, giving him evil death glares as he opened the door. Tamaki was speechless and the only thing he could think to do was close the door again real calm like. He stood there staring at the wooden door and he said to himself, "Oooooohhh shit..." Then he started to panic. He ran up and down the hallway saying to himself in a quiet voice as to not disturb other guests but really distressed like, "Oh man! They were all waiting there! Which means they couldn't find me or didn't know where I was? That means they thought her and I were...AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Haruhi perked up and looked toward the door when she heard a soft "Ahhhhhh". It sounded like Tamaki. She sighed and walked toward the door, with card key and wallet in hand still. She sweat dropped when she saw Tamaki running up and down the hallway. "I wonder what's up with Senpai...."

Instead of stopping him, she walked across the hall and knocked on the door that the rest of the host club was staying in. Maybe someone was in there. And if Tamaki saw her, he would most likely stop and talk to her about it. But for now, she didn't care all that much. Haruhi was still worn out.

"Milord!" Hikaru called out into the hallway, ignoring Haruhi, and summoned Tamaki. He and his brother crossed their arms, looking at him as if they were disappointed. They didn't know how long they had been waiting in that room, bored with nothing to do. The twins absolutely hated being bored. Kyoya had been getting rather irritated to, they noticed. Now that Tamaki was finally back, they could begin doing whatever they were supposed to be doing. They hadn't really been listening when Kyoya explained everything.

"Come on, milord." Kaoru said, narrowing his eyebrows a little. "Tell us where you and Haruhi have been all this time." The twins were just a little over annoyed with their 'father'. They sat their, waiting for his answer. He had been running around the hallway so he was probably worried about how everyone would take this. They were most likely the least of his worries. Just wait until Kyoya got to him. Kaoru sighed, looking at his twin while waiting for Tamaki's answer. Hikaru glanced at Kaoru as well, before linking arms with him. Tamaki had better have a good excuse for this.

Tamaki was frozen in place one the twins came outside and started questioning him. There was nothing he could do except confess. He got down on his hands and knees, bowed as low as he could and then started to explain very rapidly and distressed, "After you two and Kyoya left, I asked her if she maybe wanted to look around the hotel and she said yes! We were just walking around, looking at everything as we passed! We found where the Ballroom and the Banquet Hall was, we strolled around slightly outside by the garden, and we were browsing around the gift shop! We were no where near any of the hotel rooms, I didn't even touch her, and I disguised myself as we walked around, no one questioned us and I sent Kyoya and Mori a text message to not worry!!! I just wanted Haruhi to know the place and let her have some fun outside of the hot springs and club activities!!!!!" Tamaki was broken down into tears; he didn't even dare to lift his head up to look at the twins. He just sat there in his half bow half fettle position there on the floor waiting for his punishment.

The twins blinked twice in succession. They had barely understood what he had said. The part about walking around the hotel however, they caught. Hikaru sighed, waving his hand in the air.

"Whatever. It's not our job to punish you." Hikaru stated. He and his twin turning to walk back into the hotel room.

"Come on, Milord." Kaoru sighed, looking at Tamaki over his shoulder. "Let's see if Kyoya's in a good mood right now." The twins stepped into the room, going over and laying on the couch. They were bored; extremely bored. Hopefully Kyoya would provide them with some entertainment.

Tamaki was so much of an empty shell at the moment he couldn't even get up. So he army crawled into their room in his bowing position as a substitute of transportation. Tamaki wasn't even opening his eyes as he pitifully crawled into the room and he bumped into a pair of legs. He opened his eyes to see the shoes of the person he bumped into and they were the cleanest, black leather shoes anyone could possibly own, Oh, crap...he thought as he stared at the shoes, Kyoya... Tamaki crawled back a little bit, bowed lower, which didn't even seem humanly possible and repeated his explanation for the twins to Kyoya. However, he said it slower and clearer, but it was still in a distressful tone.

Tamaki was completely hilarious to Kyoya, but of course, he would never admit that fact. But, Kyoya was just bored, like the twins were. And there was nothing wrong with some entertainment...so maybe he could torture Tamaki some as a punishment for worrying him, and disobeying his orders. The part about Tamaki disobeying Kyoya's orders shouldn't even apply to Tamaki, figuring that he was the Host Club King. But, Kyoya was the Shadow King, and he would get what he wanted. Right now, he wanted entertainment, and he wouldn't even have to make up an excuse for the torture he would put on him, since there was a logical reason in front of him.

"She could've done all of that on her own time, Tamaki. I told you to meet with Mori and Hunny and get back here. Do my words mean nothing to you, father?" Kyoya only added the "father" because of Tamaki's little joke. The little joke Tamaki made always ends up helping Kyoya with getting his way without even trying.

Tamaki heard Kyoya tag on the word 'father' and he got the hint that he really wasn't in trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have started up that metaphor. Tamaki stood up but still let his head hang and he held his hands behind his back. "Sorry, mother, for not listening to the plan of attack." Tamaki said in a depressed voice but not overly dramatic like he just was, "I guess i was...jealous...of you guys always having or asking for private time with my daugh-," Tamaki cut himself off, he wanted to seem serious so he corrected himself, "I mean, Haruhi that when that opportunity came up i took it without thinking." Tamaki rubbed his neck and then played with the leather braid around his neck for a second without reveling the pendant to anyone, "I'm sorry again guys. I'll just go get ready for dinner and I can show you guys the way down to the Banquet hall." Tamaki walked very lead-footed into his section of the room and started shifting through his clothes to find something suitable for dinner.

Kaoru looked at his twin after Tamaki sulked off. "Hey, Kaoru... a couple minutes or so ago... did you hear someone knocking?"

Hikaru looked over, pouting. "I can't believe Kyoya didn't punish him." Kaoru sighed, standing up and going over to the door. Hikaru continued to watch Kyoya, hoping that maybe he was just kidding and he really would punish Tamaki.

Kaoru opened the door and his eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Oh! Haruhi? What are you doing here?"

Tamaki had picked out his clothes and was undressing to change. After he had already had his shirt off and was just starting to unzip his pants, he heard Kaoru in the other segment of their room say Haruhi.

Haruhi?!? he thought to himself in a frenzy, in here while I'm undressing?!? The rooms didn't have any doors and the bedroom quarters were just around the corner of the "living room" area. The last thing Tamaki wanted was to see him in his boxers when he wasn't ready, a stance that Haruhi knew a little too well. Tamaki looked around frantically for cover and saw the bathroom door near his bed quarter and it was still out of sight of the front door, but just barely. Tamaki grabbed his clothes and ran into the bathroom very quickly and slammed the door. He was panting very heavily and he reassured himself that Haruhi didn't see him. Oh my Lord... he thought to himself as he started to calm down and tried to dress himself, now i know what Haruhi feels like in those situations.

Haruhi looked up at Kaoru and said, "Tamaki-senpai said that I should probably go change, so I did. Then I thought I would see if anyone was here." Haruhi moved her head over and looked past Kaoru. Everyone but Tamaki seemed to be in there. It seems like I'm in luck. Without asking, Haruhi moved past Kaoru into the room. She looked around aimlessly and said, "Where is Tamaki-senpai? I saw him come inside."

Tamaki heard Haruhi through the door of the bathroom and he tried to shout from behind the door that came out slightly muffled on the other side. "I'm in here Haruhi." Inside he was frantically changing so he wouldn't keep his sweet Haruhi waiting but he explained while he did so. "You came into our room at a bad time. I was in the middle of changing as Kaoru answered the door and as you can see down the hallway leading to our bedrooms there's no doors to any of them."

Tamaki was now changing at to speeds and when he finished, he ran a comb through his hair once, spritzed himself with cologne and he opened the door and stepped out almost right into Haruhi. He was dressed in an ocean blue dress shirt with bleach white pants, vest and belt. The vest had gold buttons and the belt had a gold buckle. To keep with the gold theme, Tamaki had on plain gold cuff links and a smaller, gold ribbon, bow tie; Tamaki was still wearing his necklace which was only slight visible on the back of his neck above his collar. "Was there something you needed?" Tamaki asked Haruhi in a curious voice.

Haruhi shook her head as Tamaki came out of the bathroom, looking semi-breathless. "No, I don't need anything. I was just wondering where you were, is all."

Haruhi turned to face Kyoya. "Kyoya-senpai, what are we planned to do now? Because I sort of forgot......" While Kyoya was explaining their schedule and all to them, she was still a little sleepy, even while she was looking at the schedule herself.

Tamaki sighed as he was hoping that he could help Haruhi pick out guy clothes for dinner. He announced to everyone not really caring if he got a reply or not, "Well I don't know about you but I'm getting hungry. I'll wait outside for a little bit for any of you to get ready. If you don't come out in like 10 minutes I'm heading down by myself..." Tamaki went though the door and closed it and sat on the bench outside of their room. He covered his mouth as he yawned and he thought to himself, Man...my day with Haruhi has been quite exhausting indeed...I wonder if any of them will come dine with me. Tamaki played with his pendant through his shirt as he waited in a dazed state of mind for the others to come join him.

Kyoya looked at his watch and it was time for dinner, not that he didn't already know that. He was very hungry, and everyone knew what happened when Kyoya was tired and hungry. "He's right. I'll wait out there with Tamaki, so get out there soon, everyone. But, I'm only intending to wait 3 minutes, so get out there soon if you don't want to get left behind." Kyoya said. He left the room and looked around to see if he could find Tamaki. He was sitting on a bench, so Kyoya walked over and stood in front of him. He seemed to be zoned out, so Kyoya decided to stand there and wait until Tamaki noticed him.

Tamaki snapped out of his trance a few seconds after Kyoya got there and in a hurry, Tamaki let go of his necklace, linking his hands together, and set them on his knees. "Ahh Kyoya, glad to see you're deciding to join me," Tamaki said in a calm voice , trying to avoid the subject of what he was doing before Kyoya got there, as he looked at what Kyoya was wearing, which was still his school uniform. "Uuhhh Kyoya?" Tamaki started, "shouldn't you get dressed for dinner? It is quite a fancy banquet hall you should try and look nice in my opinion."

Kyoya looked at Tamaki, puzzled. He realized that he was still in his uniform. Feeling foolish, Kyoya decided to change quickly and leave, and give the other members a warning to meet them soon. "Ah. Your right Tamaki." Kyoya walked into the room and grabbed whatever looked fancy out of his bag. He was in such a rush to eat and was so tired that he completely forgot to change. A foolish mistake anyone would make, but he'd have to be more careful next time. He changed his out of his school uniform and into a pair of black dress pants and a blue dress shirt. It really wasn't too different from the school uniform, figuring the coat was a similar shade of blue, but it looked more appropriate. Kyoya threw his shoes on and began to walk towards the door. "We're leaving now. If you'd like to join us, come now. If you don't feel like coming, your family might mystically become bankrupt."

Kyoya didn't really care if they came or not, they just needed to be there because, weather be put it on the schedule or not, they were hosting the opening ceremony. All they did was sit in the front and say 'Welcome', but it wouldn't be the same if they weren't all there.

The twins nodded when they heard Kyoya's request to change quickly (and his threat), and began looking through their wardrobes for something to put on. They decided immediately that they should match, to confuse anyone who would be dining with them. In the end, they decided on a pair of matching black pants, with white fitted tops underneath sea green dress shirts that were sort of loose. They stuck a couple of rings on their fingers and after making sure they looked exactly alike, they went out to where they were sure Kyoya was waiting impatiently for them. They certainly didn't want their family to go bankrupt over a lousy dinner.

Haruhi nodded her head slowly as Kyoya gave her and everyone the mysterious family threat. "I'm right behind you, Kyoya-senpai." Quickly, she waved for everyone else to follow her as she ran up next to Kyoya and followed him outside of the room.

As she turned out of the room, she looked over at Tamaki as he was sitting on the bench. She walked up in front of him and said, "Let's go, Senpai. Everyone else will be with us shortly, I'm sure." Haruhi smiled at Tamaki and then moved out of the way, giving Tamaki room to stand up.

As Tamaki waited for Kyoya to come back and others to come out, he played with his necklace again but was more alert this time. When the door clicked open Tamaki dropped the necklace and slung his arms over the back of the bench. Kyoya walked out of the room dressed so it almost seemed the two of them were equal yet opposites of each other with the contradicting white and black and their matching blues. Haruhi came in front of him still dressed in her school uniform and said to him, "Let's go, Senpai. Everyone else will be with us shortly, I'm sure."

Tamaki sighed hopelessly for Haruhi and dropped his shoulders. Tamaki stood up and pushed Haruhi into her room and he joined her. "Nothing against the school uniform," Tamaki started while he stood in the doorway, "but here, you might want to change into something a little more formal for dinner. I thought I'd let you know that it's just a rule of thumb for places like these." Tamaki was about to leave when he turned around and asked her last minute hesitantly, "Do you...need or want help...picking out something to wear?" Tamaki added all defensive like, "I mean I'll leave when you change I just thought..." he rubbed the back of his neck and added, "you'd want a guy's opinion for guy clothes."

Haruhi sweat-dropped and scratched the back of her head. "Oh, well, I guess you could point out some good clothes for me. I didn't bring a lot of fancy clothes though, didn't think I would need them much." Haruhi was a little disappointed with herself. Normally, Haruhi would know better, but she had no idea what that hot springs were going to be like, let alone the hotel.

Then again, knowing Ouran High, she should've known from the start that she would have needed some fancy, elegant clothing for dinner. But it completely phased through her mind until now.

Haruhi sighed and went over and grabbed the nicest clothes that she had brought with her. She laid them out on the floor for Tamaki to examine, and then stood next to him. "Well, will any of these do, Senpai?"
Tamaki looked down at her selection of clothes while he held his chin in thought. Some of these just won't do, Tamaki thought to himself as he looked over the clothes, but then again I know she can't afford our clothes. A pair of pants Haruhi owned seemed the most elegant article of clothing she owned. It was a pair of black pinstriped pants that looked like it was made out of a very fine material. However she had nothing to go with it. An idea came into Tamaki's mind and he said to Haruhi, "Wait right here."

Tamaki left the room and two minutes later he came back with three black pinstriped vests, seven blue ties of various shades and styles, four blue handkerchiefs, two belts, a number of rings with blue gems and a fedora with a blue feather in it. As he walked by Haruhi he placed the hat on her head and said to her, "Hold that." Tamaki pushed all of her other clothes aside and laid all of his stuff on the bed.

He matched up all of the vests to her pair of pants to see which looked the most similar to her pants. A vest that was pinstriped on the front and plain black silk on the back matched the best and he laid the vest on the pants and set the others aside. Tamaki then matched the ties, handkerchiefs and rings to his shirt and picked out a few that were the same shade of blue and he threw the rejects with the other two vests. He held the two ties up to Haruhi's neck to see which looked better on her and he picked a thinner tie made out of silk-like material and set it on the vest. Tamaki then folded up on of the handkerchiefs that matched the tie up in a fancy manner and slid it into the left pocket of the vest so three points stuck out from the top. Tamaki then took Haruhi's right hand and started sliding the rings onto her pinky finger until he found one that fit; it was a gold one with a sapphire stone. Tamaki then chose the belt with the gold buckle and laid it on top of the vest as well.

Haruhi watched in slight shock as Tamaki went through all the clothes he had just brought in. Will any of those even fit me...? Tamaki then took up everything that he brought over that he didn't lay over the pants and he said to her, "Just keep on your white shirt and the shoes from the school uniform but try the rest of that on." He walked over to the door, turned around and added, "And keep the hat and ring on; I want to see how it looks." With that, he went out of her room, put away the stuff he brought over to her room and then waited for Haruhi out in the hallway.

Haruhi nodded slowly as Tamaki left the room. She gathered the pile of clothes that Tamaki had chosen for her and walked towards the bathroom. She changed into the clothes as quickly as possible and then walked into the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she said, "Wow.....Tamaki-senpai sure does have good taste in clothing...."

Once again, Haruhi grabbed a hold of her wallet and room key, and then ran out of the room. She looked in the hallway for Tamaki, and then ran up to him when spotted. "I never knew that you had such good taste in clothing, Senpai..." She paused and then looked down at what she was wearing. "So, how does it look? The vest is a little big on me, but that was to be expected. Besides, it doesn't look that bad."

Tamaki looked at Haruhi when she came out of the door and she had her elegant business outfit on that he had picked out for her. Tamaki blushed a little because she looked cute in it but either way he clapped his hands and smiled big for Haruhi as she walked over to him.

Tamaki sighed slightly and then walked around to Haruhi's back and he tightened the fastener on the back of Haruhi's vest so that it form fitted her body better, "You look very elegant Haurhi." Tamaki said as he walked back around her to get another look at her. "Very nice" he added again and then he looked at the hat and he thought to himself, Meh she looks too much like a mafia member with the fedora on. Tamaki took off the hat he had given her, pulled out a pocket comb and fixed her hat hair. He stepped back to take a final look and said, "That's much better."

The twins grinned at Haruhi's outfit, complementing her before waiting for Kyoya to tell them that they could leave. Tamaki looked at the twins as they came out and was disappointed that they didn't stick to the blue theme that He and Kyoya started. Oh well, he thought to himself, Hikaru and Karou will be Hikaru and Karou... As he passed the twins he said to them, "We can leave in a minute, just lemme put this away." Tamaki but his hat back into his room and when he came out Hunny and Mori were also ready in matching outfits of an aqua color.

"Alright Host club!" he said in hi host club king voice, "Let us make our way to the banquet hall. Follow me" Tamaki was grateful he took his date with Haruhi because now he knew where everything was so he didn't have to feel like an idiot trying to lead his club aimlessly around.
