Darknessdawns-Even though some of the club members might flirt with her a little, as of the moment i'm not completly decided about the pairing( though i am leaning towards Mori or Kyoya, just because theyre my favorite pairing with Haruhi)

Mithras151-IKE was a bitch and my power went out for three days, but as long as i havemy aptop, i'll survive X

I said that this would b out in a month and here it is the first of october! If anybody still reads this expect the next chap in a month.

Please excuse the rushed feeling of this chapter, but things have been a little rough concerning my laptop, high school, and my time management skills, so i'm really sorry about the structure of this chapter.

This chapter is dedicated to:

Mithras151: for your constant support and inspiration

Kiki: For- well, ya know,always being lost with me in biology

Remember, the more you review the less depressed i am, and when i'm depressed things tend to explode around me randomly(And we dont want that now do we?). Unless it causes me to reveal the plot, i'll try to answer any questions you have, k?


Hands ticking steadily on the crystalline clock at the front of the classroom, Haruhi felt a strange mix of anticipation and dread, the mere thought of returning to the host club adding to her anxiety. Surprisingly, the past month that she had been spending with the host club had been less disastrous than she had initially predicted. True to their word, every evening she had spent with them after club had closed for the day, had always been beneficial to her, and after a while, she found herself slowly seeing the six men, who were madly attached to her from the beginning, as (Gasp!) actual friends.

She had grown used to the many quirks of the club, from the oddly comforting silence of Mori, Hunny's sugary compassion, the twins devilish teasing, Tamaki's somewhat disturbing constant attempts at wooing her and his borderline fatherlike tendencies,to even Kyoya's intriguingly (and sometimes infuriatingly) complex mind, and it scared her how vital they had become to her in such a short amount of time.(Even if she would NEVER admit it).

The brash ring of the dissmisal bell snapping her out of her revirie, she felt long arms intertwine with hers, her books barely in her bag before she was pulled out the door.

"Ne, Kaoru that test was really difficult dont you think?" Hikaru spoke tiredly as he feigned exhaustion.

"Yes my dear brother it most ceartinly was." Kaoru replied dramaticaly as the girl between them sighed.

"In fact," Hikaru continued as they rounded the corner of the hall "I'm not sure if I passed at all!"

"What do you think?" the twins asked simuntaneously as they pressed closer to her, their faces identical masks of mischief.

"Come on guys it wasnt that bad. As long as you studied everything should have been fi- wait a second." she asked alarmed as their pace quickened drastically, her feet gliding the floor as they shot through the hall, "Guys, where are you taking me!?"

"We were supposed to keep this a secret" hikaru said blandly as they rounded another corner, "But I suppose it doesnt matter since your going to find out anyway."

"Keep what a secret?" she asked shortly, her suspicions rising as the twins pushed her through the open doors of the host club, only to find nobody there.

"Kyoya feels that since you have shown such great skill and progress in training and developing your abilities, and your wisdom, "Is far greater than one would expect of a newborn in your circumstances", that you it's high time we presented lovely public of high society, and tonight's midight soiree is a perfect chance." Kaoru said as they guided her to the costume room.

"Present? What in the world would possess you to think that i would even be able to pass in high society, let alone contribute to it?" she sputtered as Kaoru pulled out a rack of Evening gowns, ranging from a traditional kimono, to highly modernized Victorian themed dresses.

"But of course were going to present you." Hikaru stated bluntly as he eyed her for form, quickly eliminating several dresses as he worked" Everybody, male or Female, is always introduced at the host club, so everyone gets a fair shot at forming alliances and checking out prospective groups. Not to mention were the only club with a ballroom"

"Besides" Kaoru said with a wink as he handed her several dresses to try on, "How could we miss an opportunity to to show off the best thing to happen to us in two decades?"

Cheeks flushing slightly, she shook her head at how easily they spoke about their feelings, she hefted the dresses with minimal effort as she turned to speak to them again. "So basically what your saying, is that everybody is involved in some sort of organization, and anybody worth knowing is being scouted or already working for a higher power?" mobile form suddenly freezing as she felt herself collide with something solid.

"Essentially, yes" Drawled a cool low voice that Haruhi was ceartin didnt belong to the twins "But as you've probably deduced, each group has its own motives for existing and using the term 'club' as a facade, so make sure you consider them before you think about forming an alliance."

Heart rate jumping at his sudden statement, she wondered how she had missed his presence earlier, Haruhi turned to address Kyoya as he typed away on a black laptop "Then what does that make the host club?" she asked anxiously, necessarily sure she wanted to know the answer.

"An organization who's only motives are the people they care about and their survival." Kyoya said seamlessly, his fingers still typing fluidly on the keyboard.

"If that's the case," she said suspiciously as she stepped into the nearest dressing room to change while Kyoya and the twins waited expectantly outside, the sound of rustling fabric the only indication she was still there "Wouldn't that make the all the time you've spent helping me meditate and spar while claiming to be my friend, just a ploy to jumpstart the competition and add another pureblood to your loyalties?"

"Yes," Kyoya said calmly as she stepped out of the dressing room "But i thinkit's safe to say we see you as much more than just another asset to the alliance."

Air stilling as Haruhi pushed open the doors and stepped out, Kyoya felt his fingers stop typing as the twins squealed in delight.

"Oh Kaoru...its beautiful..." Hikaru said trailing off as Haruhi moved around the small area stumbling slightly under the trail of her multiple skirts.

"Yes" Kaoru said mesmerized as he placed a hand on his brothers shoulder "Yes it is."

"Kaoru,Hikaru, i believe you've outdone yourselves."Kyoya said as he moved to stand behind them"In fact, I don't think we need tosee anything else...unless you have something better?"

"NO!" Hikaru said suddenly snapping out of his trance "This is the one.'

"But i havent even seen how it looks on me!" Haruhi protested as the twins drug her away to argue over hairstyles, the finality in their voices alarming her greatly.

""Don't worry Haruhi", Kyoya said smirking as Haruhi blushed again "I think you look just perfect.''


SO SO SO SO SORRY! I honestly thought this chap would be longer but thanks to hurricane Ike and a unreliable laptop, this was the best i could do. Expect the next chap to b better.

Originally, i had written another chapter before this one, that explained some of the training and things that haruhi did with the boys, but thanks to time constraints and a lost journal i went ahead and posted this instead of the real chapter 5, so if you become confused to what is going on, feel free to ask.

On another note, i want to say that; though i have nothing against them, there will be, at maximum ONE OC in this story, as I hate how the Ouran forum is full of stories about people who dont even exist in the original story, and i can barely find a story about the original characters.
