A/N: Now I know this story is kind of blah, at least the past two chapters were, but we finally reach the plot here. And sorry if the TamaXHaru Relationship is rushed but as I was the one roleplaying Haruhi, believe me when I say its really hard to keep her dense for as long as I did. I hope you enjoy it and please review, even if its just to criticize, just don't flame.
Disclaimer: I don't own Host Club, wish I did but I know it ain't going to happen.

Haruhi cast a dark look over at the French girl, 'I thought she wasn't going to come back again..'. Ignoring her approach she turned back towards Nekozawa and asked again, "Why are you dressed up as a girl?"
"Ummmm... because I wanted to come see Hikaru," stammered Nekozawa, blushing slightly. Haruhi just looked at him slightly confused, 'Why would he need to look like a girl to see Hikaru?'.
Hikaru marched over to the group, "What is going on?".
Alexa peered in hearing Hikaru's outburst, but soon noticed a newcomer approaching Tamaki. The only problem was this newcomer was a girl. She quickly made her way over and stepped between her and Tamaki hand outstretched, "Why hello my name is Alexa, and you are?".
"No one you would be busying yourself with," Eclair said mockingly. "Now, if you'll excuse me." She went on and put her arm around Tamaki's right arm. "Now, shall we?" she said as she pulled Tamaki away from the group and out of the room.
Before Tamaki to react to finally discovering for himself that this girl was actually Nekozawa, a familiar voice touched his ears; a voice he would have had pleasure of not hearing. "Eclair?" he asked as the French girl approached him and began to drag him away from the host club and his precious Haruhi.
Muttering a few choice words in English, Alexa chased after the girl. When she got close enough she grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her to face the brunette. "Who are you, and what gives you the right to force some one to do something you want?".
Haruhi spotted Eclair's actions, and quickly made her apologies to Kyouya then ran down after Alexa.
Eclair raised an eyebrow "Wow, it seems that you've been keeping a dangerous animal here, Tamaki," she said "What an addition to that diligent fox over there." looking over towards Haruhi. "Now, your Grandma promised me that you will be accompanying me today," she said ignoring Alexa's rambles. "You wouldn't want to disappoint her, would you?" she asked Tamaki as she slowly glided her arm onto him again. "Oh yeah, one more thing," she added. "Please have your dogs chained and vaccinated the next time. They can be very violent and rough, you know." Eclair smiled ruefully.
Oh she is so...' Alexa thought starting to see red. She was ready to punch the smug look, till she heard some one cry out.
"I thought you had learned that you can't make him do everything that you want, the last time you were here!" Haruhi shouted clenching her fist.
Eclair stopped, turning to rest her eyes on the one who shouted at her. She thought about ignoring Haruhi, but then, she changed her mind. A light bulb lightened up. "My, my, it seems that we have someone jealous over here," she chuckled darkly. "The poor diligent fox jealous over his master's lover."
Tamaki had gone into a mental panic as he realized that he was once again being kidnapped by Eclair. Once regain control over speech, he opened his mouth to protest but the mention of his grandmother caused him to shut it again. He remained quiet until Haruhi spoke. She seemed angry and Eclair was only provoking her. "Eclair. A lady should not say such things as that." commented Tamaki
Haruhi glowered at the French girl; she slowly made her way over to her and only gave a stoic glance to her sempai, especially since he wasn't even trying to stop her. " Have fun.." she murmured walking out the main entrance.
Tamaki was a little hurt. He didn't like to see Haruhi like that and he pulled away from Eclair. "Haruhi..." he called, catching up with her. He knew Eclair would probably come back to drag him away again but he wanted to make sure Haruhi was not angry with him for any reason.
Haruhi crossed her arms and kept her gaze away from his, "Yes?". She didn't quite realize how calm and cold it sounded till the words fully escaped her lips.
Tamaki didn't like the sound of Haruhi's tone. He couldn't say anything and he instead retreated a bit. "I won't leave you, Haruhi. Eclair cannot take me away..." Tamaki stopped for a moment, turning a bright pink. "...away from you."
Haruhi felt a strange twinge, but shook it off forcing her mind back to Tamaki, "That's good to know, I bet everyone else would be bothered if you left,".
Eclair heard what Tamaki had said and frowned. How annoying she thought. "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention," she called out "Your Grandma told me that she'll be waiting to meet us regarding the engagement we talked about before.." She walked up to Tamaki "Are we going now or not?" she smiled despite the glare and threat that was forming in her eyes.
Tamaki looked to Eclair then back at Haruhi. He couldn't bring himself to say anything else to her. She looked too threatening at the moment and Tamaki didn't want to disappoint his grandmother. He looked at Eclair again. "Yes." he said. "We should get going."
Haruhi watched, and sighed, not really wondering why she always seemed to get angry whenever that Eclair appeared. Frustrated she decided to take a walk out to the gardens.
A phone call made Eclair stop once again. She looked for the phone inside her purse and answered it. It was her father. " Hello Daddy... yes... oh… yes… hmnn… I made plans but I can cancel them for now if you want.... yes… okay." She then hung up, a frown on her face as she looked at Tamaki. "There has been a change of plans," she started. "I guess I'll have to cancel our meeting with your Grandma today. I'm afraid that I'll have to do some business with my Dad's subordinates here in Japan," she sighed, "I'll be back before you know it."
Tamaki forced a smile. "Until then, I guess." said Tamaki, freeing himself from her grasp and walking away. The smile faded away as he walked around the school without any thought of where he was going.
--------------
Nekozawa muttered, "I only came to see you, I didn't want to cause any problems" with that he turned and burst out of the room and sprinted to his dark room.
Hikaru stopped for a minute. Did he hear correctly? He raced over to his brother "Please help me find him, dear brother," Hikaru said with tears in his eyes and with that he raced out of the room, shooting an apologetic look at Kyouya.
Kaoru nodded and also gave Kyouya an apologetic look. When he was racing out of the room he noticed a few black objects near Kyouya's table facing Kaoru and everyone.
----------
Kyouya smiled a mischievous smirk. His plan had worked perfectly. He had videotaped everyone in the dramatic scene and quickly called an attendant outside the door armed with a camera. If they were not going to stay then he could follow the drama, tape it, and sell it to promote the club. He had stayed up all night thinking up the plan in case of drama like yesterday. He pushed the matter to the back of his mind and announced to the ladies in the room, "Please excuse the interruption, it is part of a play we are going to take part in. Sorry for the inconvenience. How about we all sit in a circle and tell humorous jokes to pass the time. I have quite a few up my sleeve." With that he smiled warmly the crowding girls and entertained them. 'They will be paying a hefty price for this,' he thought to himself.
Alexa stood there fists clenched, head cast down to the floor, 'That... That....' she thought her fist growing tighter and tighter. Never had she disliked some one so much, and for a simple reason too. In her frustration she stormed out of the room and headed out of the school.
--------
Haruhi walked through the grounds and came across the gazebo where Tamaki had dragged her when they were playing hide and go seek. She almost laughed at the memory, remembering how ridiculous he was.
Somehow Tamaki ended up in the gardens as well, walking through the winding rose maze until he could see the gazebo... and Haruhi. He stopped and watched her with his royal purple eyes.
As Haruhi stood there reminiscing, she soon felt a pair of eyes on her back. Turning around she spotted Tamaki, "Sempai? Didn't you leave with Eclair?" she asked blinking.
Tamaki smiled. "Eclair had other plans," he answered while stepping closer to Haruhi. He looked at the gazebo, his smile widening. "Ah! Brings back memories!" he said; his usual mood was reviving.
"Yes it does," she smiled looking back over to the building.
Tamaki laughed as he remembered that moment he dragged Haruhi into the maze and they sat there for the longest time together. He loved times like that... he only wished he could gather up enough courage to tell Haruhi his true feelings about her.
She sighed and walked over to the Gazebo and peered in. She never really noticed how cramped it was and wondered how they both managed to sit somewhat comfortably under the table.
Tamaki walked over to the gazebo and sat down under it. "Perhaps I can hide from Eclair here... or better thought! Kyouya. He's going to be mad because of all the unhappy customers... Oh no! Unhappy customers!" Tamaki was starting to freak out.
"Calm down Sempai... Kyouya has probably already taken care of them for us..." Haruhi told him kneeling down.
"Really?" asked Tamaki, before smiling. "Of course! Kyouya probably took care of it!"
'He really acts like a child some times,' She thought before smiling herself. She got back up and walked in, sitting under the table with him.
Tamaki looked forward with a goofy little face. 'Ah. Hiding with Haruhi again.' He started to blush and a wider smile spread on his face.
Haruhi glanced over at Tamaki only to see his face flushed, "Sempai do you have a fever?". She scooted a bit away from him, but did raise a hand to see if his forehead was warm.
After muttering quite a few choice words about the French witch, Alexa managed to find herself in the middle of a rose garden. She heard a familiar laugh, causing her to hide when spotted the origin of it. She watched the two hosts converse then enter the gazebo. She snuck over to the hiding duo and peered in. 'Perfect!' she thought as she watched the interaction between the two.
Kyouya smiled as he walked out to the gazebo where Alexa, Tamaki, and Haruhi were. His assistant had followed them and gave him exact locations. He walked into the scene saying, "There you two are...now if I could just find the others!" He was expecting a confused and shocked expression out of the two. They would have time for their budding romance some other time.
Tamaki's face had turned beet red. He moved away from Haruhi when Kyouya appeared. "Oh, Haruhi... we should get back..." said Tamaki; his heart was pounding fiercely against his chest.
Haruhi just nodded dumbly, her face scarlet. She had no clue why she was blushing but that was what she was doing. It wasn't like she was embarrassed or something.
Alexa frowned and dragged the dark-haired man away. Once they were a safe distance away, she asked, "Why on earth did you do that?!? It was a perfect chance!!!".
Kyouya understood Alexa's disappointment. He calmly whispered his reply, "First, the club ideally should come first. Second, they need to find themselves and realize their feelings. Otherwise, the relationship wouldn't go as well."
--------
While the others were outside, Éclair had returned and sat waiting for a host to serve her. She hoped it to be Tamaki so she wouldn't have the trouble to look for him again. Actually, she had expected for him to serve her as soon as she sat there but until now, no one even glanced her way. She frowned and thought about the things that will surely happen in the future. Now she thought, "On to my next plan," she said as low as a whisper. Then, she smiled, an awfully evil smile. "Let's see how long can you fight with me, fox-san…".
Eclair soon wandered outside, and as she spotted Tamaki, she gracefully greeted him with a kiss on a cheek. "Tamaki," she said. "I was waiting for you. Where have you been?".
Again, Eclair had taken Tamaki by surprise. "Oh... Eclair. Back so soon?"
Haruhi stood behind him, sighed and quickly walked by the two. 'Why can't she see that he doesn't like her?' she thought shaking her head.
Alexa's hand started to twitch at the sound of Eclair's voice. She breathed in deeply trying to quell the urge to smack the annoy girl.
"Why don't you give me a tour here again, Tamaki," Eclair suggested. "Like the one you tried to do last time, although I would really much prefer to hear you play the piano again." She walked towards Haruhi and gave her a smile. "I want to eat this sweet that I saw earlier at this shop I passed by, and I want you to buy that for me please," she said "I'm a customer so I wouldn't think you would mind, but do you?"
Haruhi turned around, eyes shadowed. "What shop?" she asked.
"A shop with sweets," Eclair replied. "With that said, I think you should be able to find it. Well, I mean, how can I remember something I just saw once while the car was passing by?" She blinked at Haruhi incredulously.
"Fine," she stated, tone devoid of any emotion. Walking quickly she made it to the entrance gate before stopping to glare at the girl. Haruhi had no qualms letting Eclair know how much she disliked her. Not even threats from Kyouya could calm her at the moment. The only reason she was doing this, is to get away from said girl!
"Have a safe trip!" Eclair called out to Haruhi. Her phone rang and she answered it, walking away to a place where there weren't a lot of people. "Hello… yes... no… not today... I'll talk to you later...," and with that, ended the call. She returned to Tamaki as the group began the trip back to the Music room.
Tamaki glanced over at Haruhi as she walked away. He let out a small sigh before looking down at Eclair. "Of course. I wouldn't want to disappoint a customer," he said, although there was a hint of unwillingness in his voice.
Haruhi walked towards a random sweet shop and bought something remotely appetizing. She shook her head on the way back, and when she got back to Éclair, she dropped the bag in front of her. Going over to Kyouya she said she was going home for the day and promptly left carrying her stuff. Meanwhile Alexa glared at the French girl with her arms crossed. "I can't stand her...." she fumed while attempting to shoot flames from her eyes.
"Ew, what's this?" said Eclair who was eyeing the bag of sweets Haruhi gave her. She made a face. "Who would eat something like this?" she called out loud. "Oh, I get it! Commoners!" She smiled emphasizing the words at her lips. She now turned at the now leaving Haruhi and chuckled. She looked around and noticed the other girl glaring at her, but then again, she ignored her. Probably jealous she thought.
Tamaki did not like what Eclair had said. It was a horrible thing to say, and to his precious Haruhi no doubt! He couldn't keep himself from asking, "And what is wrong with commoners, Eclair?"
"Nothing really," she replied "But, they shouldn't be mingling with people like us." She looked at him as if the fact was really obvious. "I just don't get why people like her tries to fit in with our level of society. Unless, she wants to try catch a big fish," she said mockingly.
"I really don't see anything wrong with the commoner society mingling with ours." commented Tamaki. "I can't see as big a difference between the two societies as you seem to do, Eclair."
"I'm sorry Tamaki, I grew up in a rich and fine developed society, and so I would never really understand why not. Never did I develop the need of making friends with commoners. I mean, there really is no need. Why should I in the first place?" Eclair replied seriously. "I just don't understand why you can't understand that, being in the high class society like me. Or anyone here except that girl."
--------
Hikaru managed to catch up to Nekozawa and followed him down to the dark, dimly lit basement room and stood huffing in the doorway.
Nekozawa turned and looked at Hikaru. "I'm sorry for causing trouble."
Hikaru smiled and waved off the apology, "You looked so cute! I'm glad that you came."
Kaoru halted when he saw Hikaru and Nekozawa blushing. He saw that Nekozawa was found and he wasn't needed. He trudged back to the room and entertained a few of the remaining customers.
--------
Renge popped her head outside the front door and looked around. She had been looking for the three way couple at first but at their disappearance, she decided to develop her pictures of Tamaki and Haruhi. Walking out and looking around Renge noticed a familiar car; pausing Renge wondered where she remembered that car from. Before she could remember Renge saw Haruhi walking towards the exit. "Haruhi! Where are you going?" Renge asked running in front of Haruhi.
"Oh hi Renge... I was planning on going home," She replied calmly trying not to let frustration into her voice.
"Why are you planning on going home now? Something must've happened. What happened?" Renge asked, looking over to where she thought she saw Haruhi come from.
"Eclair is back and I'm tired of being around her," came Haruhi's reply taking another glance back up to the room.
"WHAT?!" Renge yelled in absolute shock, "The little backstabbing rodent is BACK?! You are NOT going to walk away from a disgusting little mouse like her!" Renge continued to steam as she grabbed Haruhi's wrist and dragged back to Eclair was. "Why are YOU back Ms. Eclair?! I thought you were finished with your worthless peasant plot already!" Renge yelled at Eclair, releasing Haruhi from her grasp so she could throw her fists down in anger.
"I don't have to explain to you, do I?" Eclair replied calmly. She grinned mockingly. "Why are you getting so worked up about anyway?" Eclair asked curiously. "It's none of your business anyway, No-sy-chan." She emphasized the three syllables and lifted one of her eyebrows.
Haruhi blinked then rubbed her wrist. "Renge I don't think Kyouya would be to happy if-" Haruhi began getting cut off by Alexa who stormed over.
"I think you should explain, I mean you are the one who dragged a host away from his duties, not to mention against his will!" Alexa snapped.
Nodding her head showing she agreed with Alexa, Renge added, "We all have a right to know, because last time you poked your snake head out of the mud, you nearly took Tamaki away. Also considering Tamaki and Haruhi love each other," pulling out the pictures she had captured this morning and shoving them into Eclair's face, "They need to know why your here. If you even dare about making them break up, their prefect relationship, I will be sure my attack dogs will bite your ugly little head off your shoulders."
"Haruhi!" exclaimed Tamaki when he caught sight of her being dragged into the room. He left Eclair's side and stood beside the smaller girl. He then began listening to the conversation that was going on, slowly turning red when Renge said that him and Haruhi loved each other. He did have deep feeling for Haruhi, but could she possibly have the same feelings for him? He glanced over at her, wondering if this was really true.
"Well, that might be true for Tamaki," Eclair laughed. "But how about her?" She looked at Haruhi. "Ha! Let me tell you this. The moment I had set my foot here in Ouran, Tamaki's been mine. Did he not tell you about our marriage yet?" She rolled her eyes. "If not, then, I'm sorry but I guess you're not that important as you thought you were, if your friend does not tell you he's leaving. For good," she explained. "You see, I don't get why you're all ganging out on me, I'm here for my fiancé not to fight with you people."
First Haruhi flared scarlet, not understanding why Renge was saying that she loved Tamaki but soon felt her heart race when she felt Tamaki looking over at her with a strange look. Then she felt sick, especially at the last part, the fact that he was keeping things from his friends, from her, stung. With her head low so no one could see her voice she turned to the source of her current turmoil and asked with a weak voice, "Is that true?".
Tamaki's purple eyes looked down at Haruhi. She was looking at him with a different look in her own eyes. "Is that true?" is what she had asked and Tamaki was silent for a moment. In such a serious moment, even Tamaki could not answer with much life. Especially since his grandmother was indeed involved in this plot and Tamaki was in no way eager to disgrace her anymore than he had in the past. The usual dramatic prince answered on a sadder note, "Yes."
"I see," she murmured. She walked away, head still turned to the floor, trying to keep her emotions under control. 'Why do I feel so upset?' she thought. She stopped by a window, glancing outside, her eyes returning to the gazebo.
It was taking all of Alexa's strength not to slap the smug girl in front of her. She held her breath trying to keep control but that control was slipping. "Bloody Brat! You enjoy messing with people don't you!?!" She hissed vehemently.
Eclair turned to Alexa, after ignoring her existence for so long, and raised one of her brows. "And what would that make you? A person who enjoys sticking her nose on other people's business?" she smiled in mockery as the words escaped her lips. "Oh yeah, isn't your name 'EXTRA'? Keh. Suits you."
Alexa's face turned to a scarlet hue. 'She is dead' she thought rolling up her sleeves, muttering darkly.
Eclair looked at Alexa shocked. "Wow, So you're one of those barbarian girls. You look angry," she said, "Did I hit a bulls-eye?" she chuckled darkly. "You're a disgrace to female society. Or from whatever country you came from. Girls should not act barbaric. Or did they not teach you that?" she asked, her face curious. She sighed. "I'm a fool for expecting respect from you. My," she bobbed her head to one side. "You don't even know how to respect another's personal matter..."
Alexa raised her hand and smacked her hard across the cheek, the sound of her palm connecting with the other girl's face, made a resounding crack through out the room. "You can insult me all you want, but don't you dare say I don't respect other people's matters," She replied coldly, "You meddle with lives and only try to get what you want, no matter who you step on!".
Eclair gave Alexa a very sharp look. "Now, be careful, you wouldn't want to mess with someone like me. You don't know what I'm capable of doing," she threatened. "God, don't you have manners? As expected of someone like you, who is so insensitive on whether or not should she should meddle with other people's business, why?" she asked. She glared at Alexa. "As for me getting all I want, don't blame me. It was Tamaki's grandmother who arranged this marriage and not me. So if you have any troubles accepting that, then you should go talk to her. I can ask for a meeting for you if you want."
Alexa shook her head, as she glanced over to Tamaki, wondering what now. "I'm glad, at least for what you consider manners, that I don't appear to have any. Your manners seem to lack one called respect for everyone, regardless of their social status...".
Kyouya, seeing the possible disturbance, snapped his fingers, and some men in black suits appeared. "Kindly escort Miss Eclair out and arrange for a chauffeur to drive her home please," he said with authority. He did not fear her because he too could pull strings. He didn't want the Host club's reputation being tainted by a catfight, or a WWE smack down in common folk language.
"Talk about being indecent and lacking originality." She looked at the men in black suits. "I can escort my way out. Also, please call my driver. And, stay away from me please," she said to them. Eclair turned to Kyouya "I don't care which side you're on, but please don't get in the way," She glared. "If you were watching carefully, it's 'extra' who started it. I didn't even raise my hand but she did. She's the one who lashed out like that; I'm just merely talking. And she's the one who got violent, why should I be the one who should go? I'm only here for Tamaki and you all ganged up on me," she sighed. She walked over to Tamaki and kissed him on the cheek. She looked at Alexa and smiled. She walked over her and whispered in her ear, "It disgusts me to breathe the same air you do.... ". She looked at Alexa, and before she could lash out again she decided to step away. With the words "I'll see you tomorrow, Tamaki..," she's left her sight.
'Who is that girl!!' Alexa thought, her eyes blazing. She usually didn't try hurting people unless they really made her mad. She then came back to herself and glanced around at the club. She paled after she noticed many of the customers backing away or walking out of the room. Bowing her head, she walked over to Kyouya and murmured "I apologize for disturbing your activities today,". She walked out, and went to the gardens, noticing the dark clouds rolling in.
Looking at Kyouya, Renge walked over to him, "You want the photos I took of Haruhi smiling? I'm sure those would be big time sales for the club. Also, if you want more pictures, which will be a lot of cash rolling in, you'll need to help keep Haruhi happy. Anyways, what was that girl's name, the one that slapped Eclair?"
Kyouya smiled," Wonderful! Oh and the girl? I believe her name is Alexa. We'll probably be seeing more of her in the future." He got out his laptop and started arranging for the tapes to be copied and advertising the pictures.
Tamaki stood quiet for a moment. He hadn't expected Eclair to get slapped by Alexa and it had taken him by surprise. He had no doubt in his mind that Eclair would return for him... and how could he face Haruhi after all of this happened?
He perked up when he heard Renge mention pictures of Haruhi. He hurried over to the two and peered over Kyouya's shoulder to watch. Even if he made it look like he had already fully recovered from the event, he was only hiding his worry. "Ah! Kyouya! That picture of Haruhi is very, very good!" he said pointing to one that he liked the best.
Haruhi sighed then proceeded to walk out of the school. Right after she passed the library a clap of thunder sounded throughout the campus. Haruhi jumped then shook it off. 'I need to go home,' was the thought that kept her moving, but one thunder sounded again she ran straight back to the library and hid inside. Breathing hard she tried to find a place to hide and not hear the awful sound.
----------
Alexa ran back in, cursing the weather. "Looks like I'm stuck here for a little while," She noticed some one run into the library but didn't see who. Shaking her head she walked back up the stairs to the Host Club.
----------
Tamaki heard the roar of thunder outside. 'A storm must be close...' he thought, before completely freaking. "A storm!?" he exclaimed. "Where... Where is Haruhi!?"
Tamaki shook Kyouya. "Haruhi doesn't like thunder storms! If she hasn't gone home yet, she may be stuck somewhere all alone! My poor Haruhi! She is probably so scared!" He let go of Kyouya and ran over to Alexa when she entered. "Alexa! Have you seen Haruhi!? Did she go home!?"
"She might have gone into the library-" She replied, "What's wrong?".
Tamaki didn't answer her as he ran out of the host club and towards the library. "Haruhi!" he called when he entered the library. "Haruhi!"
Haruhi set her backpack down on a table, then, as the thunder roared once more, she quickly dashed to the far corner of the room. She sat down, bringing her knees to her face while glancing around nervously. Haruhi raised her head when she thought she heard the blonde's voice, "Sempai?". 'What is he doing here?' she thought jumping as thunder cracked again.
Tamaki heard Haruhi's voice and walked in the direction where he had heard it. He found her hiding in a corner. "Haruhi..." he said softly
She glanced up at him, and when she lightening illuminating the room she runs over to him. She hid her face in the folds of his jacket, too scared to think.
Tamaki put his arms around her. "It's alright, Haruhi." he whispered to her. "Tamaki's here."
She began to relax but did not move her head at all. "Thank you," she murmured into his jacket, her arms sliding to her sides. She turned a little red, and her heart raced a little. This wasn't the first time something like this had happen, so why was she reacting like this? Her face became even redder at the memory at the beach, so she kept her head down so the older boy couldn't see it.
Tamaki's cheeks were touched with a little pink as he smiled down at Haruhi. He could feel her body relax and was glad that she was calming down and wasn't as frightened anymore.
Once she got a hold over her emotions, she stepped back then looked up at him, "So when is Eclair taking you this time?".
Tamaki looked down at Haruhi and frowned. "I'm not sure." he answered. Unfortunately, she would come back and it would probably be sometime soon.
She glanced to her feet, shifting her weight, then said quietly, "Its going to be harder to stop her this time...". She felt weird; her emotions were split into two. She felt calm and safe for some reason but also very sad. She also felt like the first time Éclair was here. The first time that she actually believed that she was jealous over the overdramatic host. No, she couldn't possibly be jealous not matter what others may say, and shook her head trying to clear the thoughts in her mind. As the thunder rang once more she clutched him close again.
Tamaki was quiet for a moment as he looked down at Haruhi. His heart was pounding rapidly against his chest while Haruhi pulled close to him again. "Haruhi..."
"Hmm?" She murmured into his chest again, not really wanting to raise her head. Her face had gone red and her brain seemed to be affected by the heat the was radiating off her face
"Haruhi... I..." He tried to force the words out, but they wouldn't come. He still didn't have the courage to say his true feelings to her so directly yet.
"What sempai?" she asked now looking at him, the blush firmly under control. She tilted her head at his strange expression.
Tamaki opened his mouth, but the words refused to come out. "Uh... Oh! Haruhi! The storm sounds like it's calming down now," was what came out instead of the words that he wanted. He put on a goofy smile. 'I can tell her later,' he thought.
Haruhi listened then stepped away from him. Moving towards the window she glanced out side to see what was going on. There were still clouds but the rain slackened.
Hunni burst through the library doors and gave Haruhi a hug. "Haru-chan! Are you ok? Thunderstorms are so scary! Would you like to hold Bun-bun?"
Haruhi blinked as she turned her gaze over to Hunni, "I'm okay now! Thanks anyway Hunni-sempai," she said. She returned the smaller boy's hug and smiled a little at his sweetness.
Haruhi cast a small glance at Tamaki, and then said that she was going home. She was exhausted and was glad that there was no school the next day.
-----------
Kyouya smiled slyly. This would be the perfect situation for the two lovebirds. He set aside the pictures and relaxed in his chair.
Alexa popped up behind Kyouya and looked at the pictures. "What are you going to do with those?" she asked.
"I'll probably sell them for profit," Kyouya answered. He was a little tired and needed to plan for the next Monday
"Oh... I was wondering how you paid for everything," Alexa said, "I think I'll head home, later,". She waved to the dark haired man as she walked out of the room, already wondering how to fix this Eclair problem.
Kyouya packed up his things and got ready to go home. He would plan the theme for Monday later. Now however, he had to worry about-facing his father. His father hadn't been pleased with his "progress in matters of relationships"(a.k.a. dating Haruhi). That would happen when Hades froze over and Tamaki turned gay. Not that Haruhi wasn't nice and all, it was just that he just wasn't interested in her, and now a new development just occurred. The new girl Alexa had caught his eye and he was getting the feeling that he was falling for her slowly but surely. Soon his duties for the club may be lowered on his priorities to make room for her. While contemplating this, he made his way down the stairs like a prisoner awaiting his execution.
--------
Kaoru looked at his pocket watch and looked outside at the looming storm. He wished that his dear twin would hurry up because this was not ideal limo weather. He sat on a staircase and felt so alone.
Hikaru and Nekozawa appeared in front of Kaoru and both teamed up giving him a hug.
Kaoru was in utter shock. "W-what are you two doing?" he gasped.
"You looked lonely," replied Nekozawa with a creepy smile
"Yeah, so let's go home now... all three of us," said Hikaru with a smile.

Eclair looked outside the mansion. The clouds are clearing away now, and she seemed pleased about it. She did nothing but talk about business ever since she stepped out of Ouran. She frowned. This is no fun she thought. 'Ah! I know' a playful smile appearing on her lips. She picked up her phone and made arrangements. I guess it's about time I join the fun... she thought and smiled one of her classic evil smiles
