Haruhi stood glaring at the closed door of the abandoned music room; the sound of chatter was variously interrupted by high pitched squeals of joy that grated on her nerves. Ten minutes, I will only stay in there ten minutes and then I have to go to the supermarket. Taking a deep breath in and exhaling loudly she pushed the door to the music room open.
Seated around the room were the various hosts, each surrounded by a group of three to five girls. Serval crowded about Kyoya who held up magazines with pictures of the hosts on them as several girls waved stacks of cash in his face. Tamaki was leaning in very closely to a girl whose face looked redder than a tomato while the rest of the girls surrounding him looked at him dreamily. The twins were clutching to each other as the three girls that sat at their table watched in fascination. And lastly she spotted Mori sitting by a table filled with cakes, but seemed to be absent one person, she started looking around for the host she had come to see when a cheerful voiced called out to her.
"Haru-Chan!" Honey said excitedly as he abandoned his group and flung himself at the startled girl.
She soon found herself turning to remain standing as the small host clung to her happily.
"I am so glad you could come, I have guests at the moment but I'll be with you shortly. Would you like to hold my bunny Usa-Chan while you wait?" the boy Lolita asked as he held the rabbit by its arm as the rest of it dragged on the floor.
"I don't know Sempi," she said dizzily as she tried to regain her center of balance.
"What? How could you not want to hold Usa-Chan?" Honey asked as he shoved his pink bunny rabbit in her face.
"I guess I could for a little while," she mused as she felt the pink rabbit being shoved in to her arms.
"Take good care of him, Okay!" Honey exclaimed as he bounced back to the group of girl surrounding his table full of cake.
Unknowingly to her the Host club king had left his group and walked up next to her.
"Well it is an Honor that the scholarship student has graced us with her presence, May I be the first to offer you a drink my princess?" Tamaki asked as he knelt before Haruhi taking her hand in to his and pressing his lips to it.
"I am only here to sit with Honey Sempi because he asked me to," she said bluntly as she pulled her hand out of his grasp and walked closer to the table the two cousins occupied.
"But my princess!" the half French man yelled as he stood and blocked her path. "A fine young lady such as yourself shouldn't have to wait; there is plenty of room at my table for you to enjoy my company," he purred as he gripped her waist holding her close to him.
"No offense Sempai but I wouldn't sit at your table if you paid me to," Haruhi said evenly not flinching an inch as Tamaki crumbled in to a pile at her feet from her harsh words.
The sound of two people snickering in the background caught her attention.
"I think that is the first time the boss has ever gotten a rejection," the sound of Kaoru's voice floated behind her as she continued to glare at the distraught host club president as he mumbled something about stubborn princesses.
"Figures that the commoner would be the one to do it," Hikaru said as she turned to face the twins who had abounded their guests.
"Perhaps she would rather sit with us brother?" Kaoru asked but noted the harsh glare his brother sent him.
"Perhaps I would that is if Hikaru would have the ability to speak to me for an entire conversation," Haruhi teased as she walked closer to the twins who took a slight step backwards.
"I can speak just fine!" Hikaru shouted.
The whole room had grown eerily quiet as they watched in raptured attention at the arguing pair.
"Oh really?" Haruhi asked as she turned slightly taking a step towards the elder twin. "Because it seems to me that every time we talk you end up completely tongue tied," she stated as she continued to walk towards the quickly backing away twin.
"I do not!" Hikaru shouted as continued to walk backwards not realizing that he was about to walk into the table that he and his twin had just abandoned.
"Yes you do. You get this stupid look on your face and then it's like your brain has lost the ability to turn your thoughts in to words,"
"I... well… I…" Hikaru began to shudder as he held the intense gaze of the girl who was closing in on him.
"Yes that is exactly what happens," she said as she finally walked the elder twin in to the table. The china clattering as Hikaru leaned back trying to get away from the tiny girl.
"Fujioka Haruhi, the chairman would like to see you," A voice over the intercom spoke clearly dissipating some of the tension in the room.
"Lucky you I have to go," she purred as she walked over to Honey and handed him back his bunny as she walked out of the room.
Standing up straighter Hikaru was about to walk away from the table but a voice startled him, causing him to lean too much on one side of the table as a loud crash filled the room.
"Hikaru," Haruhi called popping her head back in to the room to see the elder twin sitting against and over turned table the china sitting in pieces around him as his uniform and the surrounding rug was stained with tea. "Don't forget to bring me back my book tomorrow,"
The sound of the door closing caused Hikaru to hiss out several curses as he stood brushing off the small pieces of china that littered his now ruined clothes.
"Damn commoner, I am going to make her pay for that," He grumbled not noticing every set of eyes on the angered twin.
"I am sorry ladies but we will have to cut today a little short," Kyoya spoke as all of the girls whined in protest.
Ten minutes later the doors to the music room shut leaving only the hosts in the large room.
"Hikaru I am charging you for the cost of the tea set you ruined," Kyoya spoke evenly from his seat as he typed away at his laptop.
"What!? But it wasn't my fault!" Hikaru shouted as he brother held him back from launching himself at the vice president.
"Then whose fault was it?" he asked looking up from his computer to look at the twins.
"It was that dammed commoner; this whole thing is all her fault," the elder twin raged.
"Nonsense, there is no reason to blame a beautiful princess like her for your clumsiness. It's unbecoming of a gentleman such as yourself," Tamaki scolded as he sat down on his regular sofa.
"Well it's not like it matter because she is not a Lady!" Hikaru shouted as he broke free from his brother and stormed out of the music room.
"Hika-Chan doesn't like Haru-Chan does he?" Honey asked as he took a bite of cake.
"No, I don't think Hika know what he thinks about her. And that is half of the problem," Kaoru said softly as he began picking up the pieces of the shattered tea set.
"I wonder what Haru-Chan thinks about Hika-Chan," Honey mused out loud as he took another bite of cake.
Haruhi walked towards the main office, I wonder what the chairman wants to see me about now, she mused as she neared the door. As she walked in to the office the secretary quickly ushered her in, sitting in the chair across from the chairman was a beautiful woman.
"Oh my I thought she would be cute but I never thought she would be this adorable," the woman squealed as the stood and circled the surprised girl.
"Haruhi I don't believe you have met Yuzuha," the chairman said as he stood next to the two women. "Yuzuha this is Fujioka Haruhi. And Haruhi this is Hitachiin Yuzuha," he said point to each as he spoke.
"Hitachiin? Are you Hikaru and Kaoru's mother?" Haruhi asked holding her hand out as she looked over the woman.
She was well dressed, well-tailored navy jacket that stooped just before it hit the curve of her hips, covered a white shirt that ended at the top of her pants. The dress slacks fell to her ankle revealing a red stiletto heel. Several chained necklaces sat around her neck. The woman smiled as she grabbed Haruhi's hand and shook it.
"Yes I am I heard about what happened at the dance, I must say I never met anyone else who could tell my little devils apart. I must say I am impressed," Yuzuha smiled at the honor student who breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, why am I here exactly?" Haruhi asked as a sly smirk that she had seen on the twin appeared on their mother's face as she spoke.
"Well I have a little proposition for you,"
