Haruhi grunted lightly as Kagome slung an arm around her shoulders, teasing Tamaki once again as he began offering far too many Tea Cakes for her mothers alter.

Their banter came to an end when the twins noticed that the door had opened and a new face was peeking in and loudly call out to the young woman. Which in turn earned them a scolding from Tamaki, who seemed to have forgotten Kagome all together.

"Here... Don't be scared princess." he held out an offered hand in a welcoming gesture. "Welcome to Ouran Host...!" his welcome was cut short when the girl rushed by him, shoving her hand into his face and pushing him away with a loud cry.

"Don't touch me, you FAKER!"

The others stumbled back slightly from her sudden change in attitude, Kagome raised a brow. She's had things jump out at her with the intent to kill, a sudden burst in attitude was rather mild in comparison. Though Tamaki was barely reacting at all. Seems the poor guy was in shock. His reactions to the girl got more and more dramatic as said girl passionately continued with... whatever it was she was doing.

"I cannot believe you're recognized as a Prince in this club!" she suddenly turned and pointed an accusing finger at the shell shocked male student. "A Prince shouldn't sprinkle his love so easily! It makes girls' hearts tremble if you smile with sorrow, but why do you look so stupid? It's as if you're a light headed narcissist! Useless! Too ordinary!"

While Tamaki reacted more and more traumatically to every of the girl's degrading words, she recalled every time Inuyasha had done the same thing to her, and then compare her to a walking animated clay doll on top of it. Seeing that she was an outsider though, she would stand off to the side to see where it went before this girl crossed a line.

She offered Haruhi a small remorseful smile when she saw that her friend turned to her with concerned and questioning eyes. Both nodded their heads, turned back to the show and shook their heads. The rich were like an entire different species to the two of them.

After the girl suddenly threw herself at Kyoya, claiming him as her prince, the others decided it was best to change, seeing as Tamaki was unresponsive, and close the host club for the day. Kagome smirked when she noticed how much it seemed to irk Kyoya, his brow ticking just ever so slightly though it was barely noticeable. She honestly spent too much time around Sesshoumaru.

When they returned, Tamaki was still acting mechanically, things were cleared up. Sort of.

"Fiance? Kyoya's?"

"Yes! I'm Houshakuji, Renge! I'll be in grade 10 class A starting tomorrow!" the girl, Renge, had now calmed down much and introduced herself enthusiastically. Though everyone turned their gaze to the one member that didn't seem to care at the moment.

"Is it always like this here?" Kagome asked Haruhi.

"You mean characters like her, or him?" Haruhi nodded her head in Tamaki's direction.

"Both."

"She's new, and I haven't seen or heard of others, save myself, act in such a way towards him. His reactions though... those aren't anything new." Haruhi waved a hand about, as if it were something that occurred far too often for the girls taste.

"See, he's angry. All because Mom was hiding something from Dad." when Kagome turned a questioning glance towards Haruhi, said girl just shook her head, either not knowing what they were talking about, or not wanting to explain.

"Whatever. But will you keep that couple status from now on?"

The new girl started to explain how it was love at first sight, with detailed examples. But didn't the girl say she had been raised in France since she was 10? Though Haruhi spoke up, bluntly, in a traditional Haruhi way.

"It must be the wrong person..." the comment gained a strained expression from the male that was the current topic of this bizarre conversation, worried ones from the twins and a rather passionate denial from the girl.

"NO! My eyes are justice!"

Kagome raised a brow as she watched how everyone seemed to pale by the sudden blood loss in their faces as she explained how she knew Kyoya. Which was impossible if the two haven't met before now.

"You seem rather calm, to all of this, Higurashi-san?"

Looking up at the tall, bespectacled upperclassman and shrugged her shoulders before turning back to the current form of entertainment before her. "I do not know you well enough, to either agree or dispute her claims."

The girl then whirled her attention to the male next to her, thrusting a finger in his face. Kagome had to admit, she was impressed with his lack of reaction, with with his lack of rearing back or lack of emotions.

"You! Who looks like Ichijo Miyabi-kun from Uki Doki Mormorial!"

And that's when it clicked. And it seemed Kagome was the only one to actually utter the word that everyone was thinking about.

"Seems she's an Otaku." she chuckled and spared a glance at the frozen male next to her and leaned in to whisper. "Good luck."

It seemed those words broke the silence that hung over the others, and confusion that Haruhi had over what the girl had been rambling on about. Kagome had dealt with Souta and his own video game fads, buying him tickets when a movie came out based on said game, presents on the Drama CD's, manga's, and what other merchandise he would go ga-ga over.

"I see. A girl with a lot of interest in characters. She replaces me with her favorite character, makes me her fiance, and gets lost in her wild fantasies..."

Kagome was unsure how he could remain so calm in such a situation. Even though she and Inuyasha had long since learned and agreed that there would truly be nothing between them, memories of when she had hoped for more only to be degraded and told how Kikyo was better still left deep wounds. In other words, if she were in his position, she would have gone off by now... how she was unsure.

"Wild fantasies...? Isn't she your fiance...?" at the question, Kyoya put on a polite smile that was meant to ease and fool others into a sense of comfort.

"I don't remember affirming that fact even once."

Oh. He was good. But~, she's seen better. No one could beat Sesshoumaru in such a field. Actually, in any field.

Suddenly, the girl was announcing herself a member of the Host club, appointing herself certain positions and ignoring all attempts from three certain hosts from bringing her spiel to an end. Shrugging her shoulders, she turned her attention back to Haruhi.

"When their done... doing whatever is their doing, shall we head over to your place?" Kagome stuffed her hands into her pockets

"Sounds like a good plan. Do you think you could help me with a certain topic that our teacher touched upon just before you joined Ouran? I'm unsure about something, and I'd rather not go with something false."

"Ah, no problem. History I take it?" Haruhi simply nodded her head. "Okay, as long as you're willing to help me with my math."

Haruhi couldn't help but chuckle lightly as Kagome made a sour face at the subject. Ever since she started her quest, her friend's math grades dropped to a below average. They had been both very diligent with their studies, but for Kagome, saving the world became a top priority, studies second.

Their own little conversation was interrupted when Tamaki and the twins appeared next to Haruhi, patting said girl's shoulders. Seems the both of them just missed something crucial in what was going on around them.

With that, all ran away, with Tamaki crying all the way.

"This is part of your host training Haruhi! Father will be cold hearted!"

Haruhi stretched out an arm, trying in vain to stop someone so as to explain to them just what it was they meant by their sudden departure and 'training'. All she got was a threat from Kyoya adding this all to her dept should she fail in this, activity.

"Huh. They're real quick to toss you to the wolves, aren't they?"

All Kagome got as an answer, was Haruhi grabbing hold of the back collar of her uniform and began dragging her out of the room, Renge following obediently behind singing how she was going to please her Kyoya.

"If I'm going, I'm dragging you with me."

"Always. Through thick and thin." Kagome simply allowed herself to be directed, walking backwards and shaking her head at the cowering males left in the room behind them.
