The first few days after meeting with Will and speaking to his mother, Hanataro avoided the Host Club at all costs, but on the final day of school that week, Hanataro entered the Third Music Room after school with Jack following along behind. "Welcome." the voices chorused as they saw the whole Host Club merely standing there around a seated Tamaki,

"Ah, Yamato-san, Skellington-san, what brings you here?" Tamaki asked,

"About the offer to join this club, I'll probably regret it later, but I'll accept it."

That was when the short blonde who he had asked the name of the taller one from, jumped onto him hugging him, "Yay! Hana-chan do you want to eat cake with me?"

"Um, no thanks."

"I'll eat cake with you!" Jack shouted,

"You're not getting cake."

"Pwetty pwease?" she was using her puppy dog eyes on him,

"No."

Now Jack looked like she was going to cry, "Waaaaaah, Hana-chan is a big meanie butt!"

"Too bad, you're not even allowed to have sugar." he told her. She then stole Tamaki's corner and sulked in it, everyone else just stared with a sweat drop, "Yeah, unfortunately, or fortunately, depends on the situation; Jack doesn't get out of that sort of thing easily." Hanataro told the club, "It's best to just ignore her until she comes around, anyway, when do I start?"

Kyoya looked down at his clipboard and answered, "Now." and the doors were being opened just as he answered.

"So Hanataro-kun, are you and Jack-chan like siblings?"

"How long have you known Jack-chan?"

"What are your interests?"

"Jack and I have known each other for about nine years, so I guess we're kind of like siblings, and I'm not really interested in much, but I do like reading, poetry, music, and all sorts art." he answered to all three questions.

"How did you meet Jack-chan?"

"Ah, well, when we lived in the institute, Jack's room and my own were right next to each other, so I only saw it fit to at least speak with her." he responded, "Besides, she provided me with a friend when I needed one the most, I would feel terrible if I didn't do whatever I could to help her, she's become like a little sister to me." the girls gazed up at him with admiring looks as he gazed out the window next to him, they all wondered what amazing thought he was thinking up now, 'God, this is so boring.'

The hosting for the day ended at long last and Jack seemed to have completely forgotten about her argument with Hanataro earlier and was now trying to see whether she or the short blonde, who earlier was introduced to Hanataro as Hunny and the tall person he was usually with was Mori, was the taller one, Jack lost by two inches, making her only 4" 7.



Hanataro sweat dropped as Jack ran around the room playing with Hunny and his Usa-chan, he gazed out the window thinking of something until Haruhi came over to him, "Ano, Hana-chan, is something wrong?" he asked. Hanataro stood, getting his cell phone out his pocket and dialing a number once he opened it,

"I forgot to tell my mother I'd be coming home later; she's probably already started a search party and alerted the police by now."

Then he pushed the send button, the phone didn't even get to ring before it was answered, "PLEASE I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING, JUST DON'T HURT MY SON!"

"Mom relax, I haven't been kidnapped, I just forgot to call and tell you I'd be home late cause I joined a school club." he said into the phone, "Yeah, you can definitely call off getting the military into it." he said sweat dropping, "Yes, we'll be home soon, I'll call when we leave, bye." he said hanging up on the phone. "Yeah, sorry about that, my mom gets a bit over board if I'm not back with Jack when I said we would be." Hanataro explained,

"She worries about you that much?"

"It's more Jack she worries about, but yeah."

"She and your father must really love you both."

"Actually, it's just Jack, my mom, and me, my dad's overseas so much that I've only met him once before." Hanataro corrected, "Anyway, Jack and I should be going, or else my mom will end up going ballistic again, see ya tomorrow." he said exiting the room with Jack following.

It had now been about a week or so since that last incident, and Hanataro only came into the Host Club occasionally, never making a sure pattern, and usually when he was there, it was for a short time, and he didn't really talk with his customers, it was more like they just stared at him, but they didn't seem to mind.

As Hanataro merely laid there on his bed listening to some song on his i-pod over and over again Jack came flying into his room and then jumped in place on her right foot ten times before leaving to go jump again in another room ten times, on her right foot, as well.

Hanataro understood that it was merely one of those OCDish things that several people have, including him, he had to listen to this song eight times precisely, before he could listen to another song.

Then a maid entered his room and bowed to him, "Yamato-sama, your mother has requested that you, she, and Jack, go to visit a friend of hers, she says you should be ready within five minutes or so." the maid told him, and then she left the room.

'At least I've finished listening to this song.' and with that, Hanataro rose from his bed, pulled on a tan, leather, jacket over his white t-shirt and was already wearing blue jeans. He then went downstairs where he knew Jack would be, and she was, she wore a simple outfit, pink t-shirt with Jack and Sally on it with a heart surrounding them, jeans, Skelly-kun in hands, her short hair somehow in pigtails, the weekend usual.

"Wonderful, you're both already ready, ohh, Jack you look so cute, as usual." his mother said, Emily wore a cream colored skirt, pink blouse and her hair was let down in nice long waves, as she was now fussing over Jack.



"Um, mom, can we get going now?" Hanataro asked; sweat dropping at how regularly this happened,

"Hm, oh, of course." she answered, "Let's get going!" she shouted, and then took a step forward and fell flat on her face,

"Smooth move mom." he walked smoothly past his mother who was still on the ground.

"Talk anymore and I ground you." she said after getting up from the ground and pulled Jack along with her so she wouldn't end up being left behind.

Hanataro raised an eyebrow at the apartment complex he now stood in front of, "So, you met your friend at an okama bar?" he questioned his mother again.

"Yes, ha, well, you know how I am, too ditzy to even realize where I'm going into." she answered "Anyway, he's a very nice person and has a daughter around your age." Hanataro merely nodded before pulling Jack back from walking into the street. Then he, Jack, and his mom walked up into the apartment, Jack stood outside a few seconds, staring across the street at something before Hanataro pulled her into the room.

When Hanataro entered the room, he was met by a man with wavy red locks, brown eyes, and dressed as a woman, but that didn't really matter, what caused him to stare in confusement, was the somewhat shorter, short brown haired, big brown eyed, boyish looking girl wearing a more fitting t-shirt and shorts. "Haruhi-san?" he asked her, which was when the red haired woman and okama turned from their giddy conversation to their children, not noticing Jack who was looking out the window.

"So you already know Haruhi-chan, Hana-chan?" his mother asked,

"Yes, she's in my class at school." 'Although, she's technically a he there.'

"That's so wonderful, I swear, Hana-chan never makes any friends, just cause he's scared they'll find out he's gay." and with that being said by his mother, Hanataro seemed to stand still. Haruhi just stared, having never guessed that Hanataro could be gay,

"I'm going to go hide in the storage room now." Hanataro said, and climbed into the storage room, shutting the door behind him.
