Chapter 13

"Leave me alone I'm not wearing your stupid costume!" Haruhi were running from the devil twins once again...they were trying to get her to wear weird cosplay.

I swear they are gonna be the cause of mine and her insanity.

While Haruhi was running away from idiots 1 and 2, I was sitting at a table not to far away from them with Mori, who was reading a book, and Kyoya, who was doing calculations on his laptop. I was helping Kyoya with his sums as I watch the quite humorous scene before me. Hikaru almost grabbed Haruhi when he knocked into a table, spilling the tea content everywhere and all over Hunny's rabbit Usa-chan.

Tamaki looked at the mess in shock and moaned "Now you've done it."

The tea continued to soak further into Usa-chan as Hikaru stated "It's done, all right."

Kaoru defended "But it wasn't our fault."

Tamaki glared at them and shouted "What? You idiots! You're the ones who bumped into it, right?"

Hikaru and Kaoru grabbed Haruhi by the shoulders and Hikaru stated "Only because Haruhi was running away."

Kaoru smiled "We're trying to catch her because we wanted to have some fun and dress her up in cosplay."

Tamaki sighed annoyed "So what? We cosplay all the time!"

Hikaru shook his head "We weren't going with the usual host club costumes."

Kaoru smirked "We wanted to see Haruhi in bunny cosplay disguised as a girl."

Disguised as a girl? She is a girl you idiot!

Hikaru and Kaoru grinned at Tamaki and stated "You'd like to see it too, wouldn't you?"

Tamaki started blushing violently and went into his dreamland. That's it he's on my list of nasty perverts...watch out Tamaki I'm coming to get you.

I could feel someone tapping me on the shoulder and turned to see Kyoya smirking at me "Are you finished yet?"

I realized that I hadn't been recording the calculations and hastily said "Oh! I'm sorry...it's just no matter how long I'm here the club never ceases to amaze me."

Kyoya looked at everyone and smirked, he looked back at him laptop and started stating to the others "Excuse me, we don't have any guests at the moment, so I don't mind if you make a racket, but please be careful. You don't wanna wake Honey senpai."

They all froze and looked at Hunny, who was sleeping on the sofa peacefully...sucking his thumb.

What 17 year old still sucks their thumb?

Haruhi looked at him and tilted her head "He's a 3rd-year. Who still takes afternoon naps? We're gonna have to tell him about the bunny at some point. Let's just wake him up and apologize."

As she was about to touch him Tamaki and the twins whispered "No wait! Don't get any closer to Honey senpai."

Tamaki whispered and gestured "Come back. It's safe over here."

Haruhi walked over to them and asked "What are you talking about?"

Tamaki whispered to her "Honey senpai wakes up in a very bad mood after napping."

Haruhi looked at him confused as he continued "Now this may just be a rumor. But the Haninozuka family once visited a U.S. military base to give combat training. Supposedly Honey senpai slept through most of it because of his jet lag. Then, a soldier came in and carelessly tried to wake him up since he had been sleeping for so that day, he wiped out two entire platoons of soldiers and not just any soldiers, Green berets! And I've heard we've had diplomatic issues with America ever since that day."

"How terrifying!" The twins cried.

Haruhi rolled her eyes at them as did I, once again they had distracted me with their crazy antics.

Tamaki panicked "And we've got a bigger problem Usa-chan was handmade for Honey senpai by his deceased grandmother. You've seen the way he carries it around. That little bunny is his most priced possession. I can't imagine how he's gonna react when he wakes up and sees that his precious Usa-chan is ruined."

Suddenly the twins and Tamaki started crying "He's gonna do to us what he did to those Green berets!"

Well so much for not trying to be loud...

Haruhi once again rolled her eyes and stated "You're exaggerating. It's impossible for that story to be true. I mean, come on."

I nodded in agreement as Tamaki whispered again "It is. And there is other evidence that Honey senpai has an evil side to him. Listen to this. His blood type is AB. How do you like that?"

Haruhi shrugged "Yeah, so what?"

Tamaki looked at her even more worried and stated "But Haruhi, that means he's the same blood type as Kyoya!"

Haruhi gasped as did I. Ok now is the time to be worried...

We all looked at Kyoya as he spoke to us without averting his eyes from the laptop, "What's the matter? Do you guys have problem with my blood type?"

Haruhi looked into another direction and forced a smile on her face "Oh, those if you're watching with type AB, please don't take any offense to this."

Who are you talking to?! You're one step closer to be wrapped up in a straight jacket Haruhi.

Tamaki whispered "This is bad. We have to do something quick before he wakes up. Hikaru, Kaoru."

The twins saluted "Sir."

Tamaki then explained "Go get you folks Cessna. Fly to Osorezan, and bring back a medium. We'll channel his grandmother and she can guide us through it. We can make a new Usa-chan for Honey senpai. Take this map of Aomori Prefecture with you. Don't forget to bring apple juice, apple jam, and Nebuta souvenirs dolls!"

Really? That's your ingenious idea...I worry about everyone's sanity.

The twins looked at him unimpressed as Hikaru began "But we don't have that much time."

Kaoru continued "We're used to your crazy ideas, but you should come up with something more practical."

Tamaki thought for a moment and then smiled "All right, how about this? We'll send Usa-chan to the cleaners. Haruhi, you are going to have to wear the bunny suit."

He held a giant bunny suit to Haruhi as they twins nodded "Yeah, good idea, boss."

Haurhi's eye twitched as she tried to run away, but Tamaki grabbed her shirt; preventing her from running away. Haruhi yelled "Forget about it! I'm not wearing the stupid bunny suit. It's not gonna work. He'll know it's me!"

Tamaki stated "No, he won't. He won't be able to tell the difference if he's just waking up from a nap."

Haruhi responded "Well, then why don't you wear it, senpai?"

Tamaki yelled "It won't be cute if I wear it!"

Haruhi moaned "Yes it will!"

I looked over at Hunny who was starting to wake up, Tamaki realized and yelped "He's awake. We'll have to use a substitute. We've got no choice."

Hunny rubbed his eyes and saw Tamaki's teddy bear in front of him. Tamaki and the twins watched him nervously from behind the sofa as Hunny threw Tamaki's bear to the floor.

Tamaki screamed "Aaaah! Not my teddy bear!"

He's such a child...

Hikaru panicked "He's gonna come after us, next!"

Kaoru screamed "Aah! He's just noticed his bunny rabbit!"

Hunny picked Usa-chan up and noticed how dirty it was. He looked at us and spoke darkly "Who's responsible for this? Who got Usa-chan dirty?"

He pulled a face which even made me have goosebumps...if you can imagine looking into the face of the devil, Hunny's face was far worse.

Tamaki and the twins screamed "Someone, help! Mori senpai, don't let him hurt us!"

Mori walked over to Hunny and simply stated "He wanted tea. So, Usa-chan decided to have a drink."

Say what?

Hunny immediately smiled and asked "I see. So that's why his face is all dirty, isn't it? Hey, do you think he wants some cake, too?"

The twins and Tamaki went over to the emo corner...That's all it took huh? What a bunch of idiots.

About 2 hours later the host club opened for business. As usual the guys entertained their guests and Hunny was making the girls squeal over his cuteness.

I heard Renge state "Mitsukuni Haninozuka, otherwise known as Honey senpai, age 17. Ouran academy 3rd-year, class A and a member of the host club. Favorite things include cake, chocolate, and bunnies. He's famous for his enchanting boy-Lolita characteristics."

I was standing with Haruhi and Tamaki as Haruhi said "That was a close call earlier, huh senpai?"

Tamaki nodded "No kidding. I'm glad we settled that Usa-chan issue without any violence."

I looked at Renge who was still giving a bio of Hunny...through a microphone? "Honey senpai's catch phrases include "I love candy" and "I love cute things" and well some find this charming. I'm not quite sold on his cutie loli boy image. It's not exciting enough. It feels like something is missing in this character arch!"

I've given up on her...I can't be bovered to try and make her normal.

I went back to serving tea to everyone. I went to Hunny's table and found 5 empty plates from where he was eating so much cake. He continued to scoff cake into his mouth as I stated "Honey senpai, you can't keep eating nothing but sweets all of the time. You know, you're gonna end up with a cavity."

Hunny smiled "Oh, don't worry. I always brush my teeth."

But as soon as he took another bite of cake his eyes widened. He held his cheek as I asked "Honey senpai, is it..."

Hunny shook his head and muttered "Nah, it's nothing... 'kay?"

The twins came over as I tried to look into Hunny's mouth "Let me just take a look in your mouth."

Hunny started squirming violently as the twins tried to hold him down. Hikaru said "Hold still."

Kaoru groaned "Honey senpai, please quit squirming."

Hunny continued to show resistance as he cried "There's nothing wrong. Quit messing with me. Leave me alone."

Suddenly he looked up and saw Mori looked at him, Mori pushed Hunny down onto the sofa and held his mouth. The girls started squealing as Renge yelped "Yes, that's it, that's it. That's what was missing. It's moe."

What's wrong with the girls at this school?

Mori continued to hold Hunny's chin causing Hunny to open his mouth. Mori looked inside as Tamaki asked "So is it a cavity?"

Mori replied "Yeah."

Hunny had tears in his eyes from where his cavity hurt so much but he murmured "It's all right. I'll be okay."

Mori looked at Tamaki as if he was indicating something "Tamaki" was all he said.

Tamaki nodded and said "Yes, you're right. I'll take care of this."

Tamaki turned to everyone and stated "Until Honey senpai gets over his cavity, I'm afraid he can't have sweets. Therefore, we'll be supportive and ask that you kindly refrain from eating snacks in the club room until this ordeal is over."

Hunny's eyes immediately filled with more tears as he tried to stop Mori from taking the cake away "No, no, don't, Takashi. Please don't take my snacks away. You can't. Don't do it. What'll I do without them? I can handle it. Please don't take away my cake!"

Mori simply turned to him and stated "No more cake."

Hunny cried as Renge sighed "And that's how it all began. One little cavity and suddenly Honey senpai's life became a living hell."

The next day me, Haruhi and the twins were walking down the hallway together when Hikaru stopped us "Hey it's Hunny."

We all looked from behind the wall and he had a cloth tied on his head to help with his cavity. I couldn't help but think he looked like a rabbit with that on. Some girls squealed at the sight of him as they probably thought the same thing.

Suddenly Mori came up to him and held his hand out "Mitsukuni, bag."

Hunny didn't look at him as Hunny said "I can carry it."

Mori wasn't giving in and still held his hand out "Yes, you can. Hand it over."

Hunny reluctantly handed over his bag as a mountain of sweets poured out of it. Hang on how is that possible? His bag isn't big enough...

Hunny looked at the floor and mumbled "I was just looking. I wasn't gonna eat them."

Mori raised his eyebrow "Really? If you were just looking, then try this."

He handed Hunny a flyer as he took the sweets "I'll keep the real stuff."

Hunny fell to the floor crying as we walked away from the scene. Hikaru and Kaoru both stated "Oh man, that was rough."

Haruhi frowned "I can't help but feel sorry for him."

I shook my head in disbelief "You know, I had no idea that Mori senpai could be so brutal."

Karou nodded in agreement "You wouldn't expect it. I thought his principles kept him from doing anything to upset Honey senpai."

Hikaru shrugged "And to think that he could get his boss to go along with him."

When we arrived at the host club it was time to open. A girl who was speaking to Tamaki said that she had a chef bake a cake for him, but because of the ban she can't give it to him.

However, Tamaki still charmed the girl and stated "I believe things will work out for the better this way, my dear. I'm sure it's delicious but no chocolate could ever be able to withstand the heat wave of my love. So it would all melt and go to waste."

It's nice that he's doing this for Hunny...but I can tell he misses sweets.

I was standing with the twins as Tamaki walked past us, Hikaru nodded "Impressive, boss. That was quite an act."

Kaoru finished "Missing sweets, aren't you?"

Tamaki stopped in front of us and scoffed "Buzz off. The club's number one priority is our guests. All that matters is their happiness."

Kyoya, who was leaning against the wall writing in his black book, said to us "You had better watch yourselves out there. Don't give any sweets to Honey senpai, no matter what tricks he resorts to. Oh, and incidentally, those instructions come from Mori senpai. This isn't my doing."

With that he walked away waving to us. Hikaru raised his eyebrow "So is it just me or does he seem to be enjoying this?"

I decided to follow Kyoya and talk to him for a little while. He went to a separate room which was were he could do his work undisturbed.

I shut the door behind me and asked "Mind if I sit in here with you?"

He nodded, not looking away from his work as I sat next to him. "So, just out of curiosity...why are you so happy that Hunny isn't eating sweets?"

He smirked and turned to me "Since Hunny isn't eating sweets...the club can save money. All of them sweets cost a lot of money."

I nodded my head in realization "He does eat a lot of sweets so that is understandable, to be honest I'm not surprised that money was the first thing you thought of Kyoya."

He chuckled "Well how else are we going to keep the club going if we don't have any money?"

Before I could say anything he loosened his tie with his finger and slumped down in his chair...his chest slightly exposing. Not bad Kyoya...oh great now I'm turning into a pervert! Thanks a bunch devil twins.

I smirked at Kyoya "Wow, looks like you even like to relax."

He chuckled at my comment "This is the only place in this school where I can just relax and do my work without disturbance...hey shouldn't you be working?"

I stood up quickly and said "Oh yeah! Please excuse me."

I left Kyoya and went back to the main room. I saw Hunny skipping to Mori until he shoved a lolly into Hunny's mouth, making his cheek swell. Hunny was probably trying to convince Mori that he no longer had a cavity.

Mori walked away and stated "You're not fully recovered yet." I couldn't help but think that Hunny wasn't going to give up so easily.

For the next 3 days Hunny tried everything he could to trick people into giving him sweets. But none of those tactics worked. The rest of us were sitting at a table while Hunny was pacing around impatiently.

Tamaki spoke timidly "He's gonna crack."

Kaoru shrunk into his chair "Would somebody please talk to him? He's scaring me."

Suddenly Hunny opened a door to where we keep the sweets and Hikaru screamed "Ah! He's headed for the candy!"

Kyoya was still relaxed and stated "No need to worry. We emptied out all the sweets."

Haruhi looked at him a bit baffled and said "Kyoya senpai, you seem really chipper today."

Hunny opened a cupboard and took out Tamaki's teddy bear and threw it to the floor angrily. Tamaki screamed "Aah! He keeps doing that to my teddy bear!"

I'm getting a strange sense of deja vu.

Finally Hunny wobbled for a bit and then collapsed onto the floor. Kaoru raised his eyebrow "Well, there he goes."

Hikaru finished "Three days and he gives up."

Tamaki cautiously walked over to Hunny and shook him "Ah Honey senpai?"

Suddenly Hunny started biting Tamaki's hand and Tamaki starting screaming and running around trying to get Hunny off of him "Somebody, help me! He's eating my arm off!"

Mori then stood up and started walking over to them. He stood behind Hunny and spoke, "Mitsukuni, don't take this out on other people."

Hunny stopped biting Tamaki's arm and Tamaki sighed in relief "You saved me. I thought I was a goner."

Mori still continued looking at Hunny and said "It's disgraceful."

Hunny then spoke darkly "Takashi, you idiot!"

He then screamed and threw Mori over his shoulder, causing Mori to fly halfway across the room and landing on his back. Hunny continued screaming at Mori with tears in his eyes "A little bit isn't gonna hurt me! You're so mean! You're such a hardhead! That's it! I hate you! I hate you, Takashi!"

Mori sat up and averted his eyes as Hunny ran out of the room crying. Tamaki yelled "Honey senpai!" and ran after him.

Hikaru looked at Mori concerned and began "Hey, Mori senpai."

"That was harsh. Will you be all right?" Kaoru finished.

Mori got up but started wobbling. He tried to hold the table for support but he and the table just fell to the floor. I ran over to him and kneeled down next to him and looked into his face. He looked like he was going to cry.

I looked at him concerned while Hikaru said "Wow senpai, it looks like he really got to you. I don't know what's going on, but it seems like you're self-destructing."

Kaoru added "Maybe, Honey senpai wouldn't hate you if you hadn't have been so hard on him in the first place."

Haruhi suddenly realized something and said "It was on purpose? Mori senpai, by any chance, have you been acting like this, because you're trying to get Honey senpai to hate you?"

We looked at her baffled as Hikaru asked "Why would he do that?"

Kaoru stated "It makes no sense. That would be like the end of the world for Mori senpai."

Hikaru and Kaoru both asked "Why would he do it on purpose?"

Mori sat himself up as Haruhi suggested "Well maybe, because he was trying to punish himself. I'm right, aren't I?"

Mori nodded "Yeah, you are. This was my fault. Mitsukuni has a cavity because I'm careless. Twice before his nap time, I forgot to make him brush his teeth."

Hikaru shook his head in disagreement "But that's not really your responsibility."

Kaoru continued "He should know better."

Mori continued to sit there with a sad expression on his face as he put his hand in his hair "But if Mitsukiuni has to get false teeth, it'll be my fault."

The twins shook their heads vigorously and stated "Don't worry. That's not gonna happen."

Wow what a pessimist.

He looked down at the ground and said "I wouldn't be able to live with myself right now, if he hadn't thrown me down."

Kyoya spoke up and stated "Because he felt at fault, Mori senpai wanted some sort of punishment from Hunny senpai to make up for his failure."

I got up and walked back over the the others as Hikaru and Kaoru began "Well..."

Hikaru continued "While that certainly makes for a nice story and everything..."

Koaru finished "It was just a little cavity, right?"

Suddenly the door opened to show Hunny and Tamaki standing there. Hunny had a look of realization on his face as Tamaki said "Well, there you have it, Honey senpai. What will you do now?"

Hunny looked at Mori and then ran in crying "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Takashi!"

Mori looked up and Hunny as he ran to Mori and hugged him " I promise I won't forget to brush my teeth again! I won't forget!"

"A few days later, Honey senpai recovered from his painful cavity, so the host club decided to lift their ban on sweets. And Honey senpai can greedily stuffed his face once more." Renge stated through her microphone.

We all looked at Kyoya who was doing sums in the emo corner. He sighed in annoyance as Haruhi asked "What's with Kyoya senpai? He looks depressed about something."

I shook my head "Because Honey senapi's back to eating snacks again. All those sweets get expensive."

She nodded as we head a girl speak "Excuse me." We turned to the voice and saw a girl walking to Mori.

Tamaki smiled gently "Oh my, looks like we have a new guest, gentleman. Are you a fan of Mori senpai?"

She stood in front of him and began "Oh Mori, I understand now. I know who you feel so strongly about. And it's okay."

She then looked at Hunny who was greedily stuffing his face with cake "I must say I find it a little surprising that it's Honey. To think he's so special to you. I don't know. It's just so... I can't explain it. It's just so... yay!"

She then squealed in happiness as Renge put her hand on her shoulder "Congratulations. You've just taken your first big step into a brand new world."

The girl smiled as Mori walked over to Hunny and cleaned his face "Mitsukuni, you've made a mess."

Hunny giggled as all of the girls started screaming in a fangirl manner. Renge spoke through the microphone "That's right, ladies. It's moe. It's the greatest. I just can't get enough of it."

Haruhi looked at me with a sweat drop and stated "You know, even though this whole thing may look and feel just like a happy ending, I'm not sure everyone out there would think moe is the best way to wrap things up."

The girls suddenly screamed loudly "Moe!"Which made me rub my ears...

"Oh, good grief." I said shaking my head. Just another day at the Host club.

A/N: Hooray I finally updated! I apologize for the late update but I have exams coming up and I have to revise for them...wish me luck! Anyway I hoped you like it :)
