Whitney blinked, looking at the doors to the Host Club.

"I can't BELIEVE that I agreed to do this. I mean, I know that this way I get to spend time with all the hosts without being a creepy fangirl, but being partnered with the TWINS??" she said to herself softly.

"And what's wrong-"

"-with being partnered with-"

"-the twins?"

Whitney spun around only to be pulled into the arms of the twins in question.

"N-nothing." she said, blushing.

'Please don't stutter, Please don't stutter.' the girl thought to herself. She was by no means a fangirl, but, with the exception of just having woken up from a nap or being incredibly tired, she was usually unable to control her speech and the color of her face when Kaoru was around. And at the moment, her face was turning a very dark crimson . Kaoru was staring right into her grey eyes, smirking at her.

"Hm? What's so funny, Kaoru?" Hikaru asked, wondering why his brother had smirked at the girl in his arms.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. It just seems that I've turned Whitney into a tomato again." he said.

If it was possible, she blushed even more.

"Shut up! Do I really look like a tomato?" she questioned.

Hikaru spun her around, looking at her face.

"Is there anything that is more red than a tomato, Kaoru?" he asked, looking at his twin.

"Yes." replied the younger redhead.

"What is it?"

"Whitney-chan, of course!" The two boys burst into a boisterous laughter.

"Guys?" Whitney said, trying to get their attention.

The laughter continued.

"Guys?" a little louder, this time.

And again, she was ignored.

"GUYS!"she yelled, stamping her foot for emphasis.

They turned to face her.

"Look, if you keep making fun of me every time you make me blush, I'm going to have to tell Kyouya that I'm turning down his offer. You'll be laughing every five seconds." she reasoned with them.

They just wrapped an arm around her shoulders and walked her through the doors of the Host Club to go get ready for the guests.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Host Club was now open for business and was in full swing. The guests were responding well to the new addition. Whitney was sitting there in a black Lolita dress, looking very much like a doll. Today's theme was Black and White. It seems that Renge had become obsessed with the new "Uki Doki Memorial" game, which was in black and white. Which explained the rather annoyed looking Kyouya, who was wearing all white except for a grey scarf. He was severely ticked that Renge kept finding excuses to dress him up like Miyabi.

The other hosts were a little less angry than the Shadow King. Mori, Tamaki and Hikaru were dressed in black, like Whitney, however, they didn't look like children's toys. The black complimented each of them in odd ways, making them appear a little more mischievous than usual. Joining Kyouya in the white group was Hani, Haruhi and Kaoru. The reasoning for the latter three being in this group was that they were all more "innocent" than the other hosts, so they were to wear a color that reflected their innocence.

As far as being a host, Whitney was a little overwhelmed. It turned out that many of the boys at Ouran Academy would rather not go to the Host Club, regardless of whether their host was a girl or not. There were only a handful of boys sitting in front of her, mixed in with a number of girls. Whether it was intended or not, there were a LOT more girls requesting the Hitachiin twins. The reason? The twins had a new 'toy' whom they delighted in embarrassing. For the moment, they had scrapped their 'Brotherly Love' acts in favor of a new game called 'Who Can Make Whitney Turn the Brightest Shade of Red'. And it was a tie.

"Whitney, why did you join the Host Club?" a brunette girl asked. She felt it absolutely necessary to know everything about anyone involved with the elite club.

"Well-"

"She joined the club at our request." Hikaru answered for her.

Whitney just looked at him like he was crazy.

"I what now?"

"Oh, Whitney, you're so cute when you're pretending not to know anything." Kaoru said, nuzzling her neck.

The girl started blushing profusely, adding a point to Kaoru's score.

"We couldn't let Tono and Kyouya-senpai take up all of your time, could we?" Hikaru added, hugging her.

And this continued the entire club. Hikaru would say something to embarrass Whitney, making the onyx-haired girl blush. If Whitney blushed, then Kaoru was hugging her, whining that it wasn't fair that Hikaru was making her blush more than he was. This made Whitney blush even more. Eventually, she got to the point where the twins weren't even sure there was a color to describe her complexion.

Eventually, the club hours ended, ending the twins' harassment of Whitney. She was relieved that she was finally going to get a break from her little blush fest. She walked out of the ornate school and waited in the parking lot for her limo. And then it started to rain.

The change in weather didn't bother Whitney in the slightest. She loved the rain. However, she was a little annoyed that she had called for a ride home at least twenty minutes ago and they still weren't there. She started to walk in what she thought was the general direction of her house, hoping that she was right. It wouldn't be good for her to get lost .

Whitney had been walking for the past hour and was no closer to her house than when she started. In fact, she had been walking in very large circles around the school.

"Maybe it's this way…" she thought out loud to herself.

She was just getting hopelessly lost, and the rain didn't look like it was going to let up any time soon. It came down in relentless sheets, blocking any view she would have of the buildings in front of her.

Beep

"What was that?"

The tall girl whirled around to see a limo pull up behind her.

'Finally!' she yelled in her head.

But then, someone got out.

"Ugh. I'm going to be stuck here forever!" Whitney whined softly.

The figure wasn't going towards the house in front of it though. And they weren't closing the door to the limo. Instead, it walked towards her, carrying an umbrella.

Frightened, the girl prepared to run away from the shadow person. She would rather not be kidnapped.

But just as she was about to run, she was grabbed by the arm and placed under an umbrella.

"Where do you think you're going, Whitney-chan?" came the low voice.

She looked up and came face to face with Kaoru.

"Come on! Hikaru is waiting in the limo."

They walked back to the car silently. He let her climb in first and then slid into the seat next to Hikaru.

"Thank you!" Whitney said, rather happy that she was no longer wandering in the rain.

"Yeah, well, we figured that you were lost when we watched you circle the school for the third time." Hikaru said, smirking.

"What? I circled the school for an hour?!?!" she asked. She couldn't believe her stupidity.

The twins nodded.

"We decided we'd come get you since your house is on the way to ours anyways." Kaoru explained.

"What Kaoru means is HE decided we should come get you. I thought it'd be funny if we followed you and freak you out. I was kind of hoping that you'd run from him when he got out of the car." Hikaru clarified.

Whitney blushed lightly. She had blushed too much that day to make her face any darker than a light pink.

"Hikaru! Why did you have to tell her that?" Kaoru asked.

"I'm sorry, Kaoru. I wasn't aware that you'd be so embarrassed by it. I'll make sure that I don't tell Whitney anything else that you say about her." Hikaru said, hugging his brother close.

"Guys, seriously? Do you think the act will work on me? I've been reading about them for an insane amount of time." Whitney said, rolling her eyes.

They laughed.

"Well, it was worth a try. You're one of the few girls who doesn't do that stupid 'Kya!' thing when we act like that." Hikaru said.

"Yeah. Now we know that we can be ourselves around you." Kaoru continued.

Just then, the limo pulled up in front of her house.

"Thanks for the ride, guys." Whitney said politely.

Just as she was about to close the door, she heard

"Whitney-chan? If you want, you can just ride home with us every night."

She looked at the person who had just said that to her.

Hikaru looked stunned that Kaoru had just offered to take the girl with them every night.

"I mean, you don't have to, but I figured if we were all going to be a group at the Host Club, we should probably get to know each other better." Kaoru stumbled over his word choice, trying to cover up the fact that he had just invited the girl into their car every night.

She just smiled at them.

"I would love that."

They exchanged goodbyes and the limo drove off, leaving a confused Whitney to sort out the days events.
