I closed my eyes expecting to hit cold marble ground so you can only imagine my surprise when I was caught up in someone's arms. My eyes opened wide again as I was turned around to see none other than Tamaki Suou; "I've been waiting for you… my princess.." he murmured softly I gasped and flushed a beet red as I stumbled back from his embrace and fell on my butt, staring at the floor. "T-Tamaki…. /" He shrunk down, kneeling before me and chuckled. "Heh, you're so cute when you're surprised!" He continued on in his softer voice. Lifting my chin up to look at my red face he smiled. I stared at him in light annoyance and half admiration. It was surprising he'd be able to stay so quiet in the first place, but outside, I could hear my assigned nurse calling. "Mr. Fujioka? It's time to take your chest measurements. Once you've finished disrobing, would you please come with me?" I started to stand anyway, figuring I'd look enough like a boy it wouldn't matter… the club was just fooling around anyways, so I would do this myself. But Tamaki interrupted my thoughts, holding my shoulders to keep me down. Outside I could hear a few excited squeals and encouragement from my fans from the Club, but Tamaki stood up valiantly and decided to tell me it was time to finish the plan of his. "This is it… The inevitable moment has arrived…" He looked down at me with his eyes cool and calm as he continued. "You just stay back here and wait okay Michi?" I started up at that and blinked out of my dazed state. "But what are you even gonna do?!" Without a moment's hesitation he pressed a finger to my lips and I ended up blushing like a fool again. Where had all my cool gone? "Don't you worry…. I'll protect you…" I was a little bit shocked and touched by that statement… protect…. Was such a strong word… My 'father' had protected me from the world…. Mori had protected me from myself and my mind… and Tamaki was fighting to protect my identity… was I possibly, really caring for someone? Other than Haruhi? "I promise I'll protect you Michi.." he mumbled softly, heading towards the opening to the curtains where my nurse called. "Mr. Fujioka? Are you ready to be measured now?" I could hear the girls outside inhaling and gasping with the suspenseful wait. I saw Tamaki lift something long and red beside him and put it on his head; a wig!? Slipping on a pair of glasses I felt my heart plummet. What an idiot! "Yes.." he murmured and flung open the curtains with his shirt open and chest exposed, not mine. "I'm Michi Fujioka…" I mentally face-palmed and looked away feeling utterly disappointed. What a fool! That isn't even my actual first name! Ugh… but my fans didn't know that. None of the girls believed him in the least, even going as far as to wonder if he was cosplaying as me. I flopped back against what I thought was a wall only for it to be a curtain and I just laid there trying not to groan. From across the room I could hear the twins losing it in hysterics, and there they were, no doubt, still bare-chested and laughing their asses off so hard it brought tears to their eyes! "I can't believe he actually did it! XDDDD "I told you they'd see through it!" Tamaki seemed embarrassed as even I began to giggle and he ripped off the wig, tearing up. "Rrrgghh! You jerks! You said there'd be no way the girls would be able to tell it was me!" He had the twins by the throats but they still smiled. "It's pay-back for calling us the homosexual supporting cast! ^U^" Wait, when did that happen? XD Tamaki stepped around the curtain seemingly afraid of what I was going to say to him. "I'm sorry… they seemed to have.. figured it out, eheheh… ^^||" I looked back at him with a light glare and he screamed and shrunk back from me, hiding against the curtain I sighed and shook my head, standing up and marching towards him as he only got more and more afraid of what I would do. I never did expect Tamaki to come up with a smart plan, but I HAD expected more. I looked up at him seriously and he looked down like he'd be stricken across the face. Until I unexpectedly… hugged him…. I could see his surprised expression out of the corner of my eye and smiled lightly, looking up with tears in my eyes as I began to laugh, quite hysterically might I add. I hugged him tighter and rested my face against his chest giggling. "Oh Tamaki…. Thank you ^^ For trying."

Kyoya had me sent to a special boy's clinic soon after we were able to snap Tamaki out of his coma, having been so delighted I was okay with his failure and he nearly passed out ^^|| All of the doctors here today were actually all staff for Kyoya's family's hospitals. So he had one here, sworn to secrecy whom had sent me to a select room to strip down. She seemed awfully nice… I sighed and looked at myself in a mirror there. Shirtless, there was still now difference between me and a man… Was there a difference at all? I took of my glasses and frowned. No, I don't think so. I covered myself by holding my shirt together and sighed, waiting for the nurse. Should I tell her I was ready? Just debating this, with my back to the entrance curtains I was bewildered to hear them open… and walking in backwards, was a male doctor? He seemed pretty secretive about it- you don't think-?... I gasped and my heartrate sped up as I took a step towards the wall furthest from him, this caught his attention and the man looked desperate… "No! It's not what you think, please just keep quiet-" he went to cover my mouth and my eyes widened… I… screamed…

"Michi!" Tamaki literally flew through the curtains and kicked the man right in the face. "Tama-chaaaaannn, kick!" He flew back and crashed into a wall as my Host Club leader landed before me in a crouch. The twins appeared literally out of nowhere, standing in formation behind me. "One… good looks to attract the public eye…" Kyoya stepped in from the shadows. "Two, more wealth than you can imagine.." Mori, and then Hone pitched in from another direction and I was forced to look back and forth from one to the other getting confused. "Three…Chivalry that will ever be able to overlook-" " The hideousness of this world.." And in my bewilderment Tamaki had come up behind me and put his shirt over my head. I looked back up at him but he was glaring at the intruding doctor. "That's what makes up the Ouran Host Club!" They'd all stepped into another formation layered behind me. "We're here! Watch out!" Since when were we some sort of rescue squad? The man fell from the wall into a bow low to the floor. "Please don't hurt me! Spare me my life!" I blinked, a little weary of this guy who startled me so badly. And suddenly it was his life story… "I'm a doctor… I run a small emergency medical clinic in the next town over… My name is Yabu…" "Did he say his name is Yabu?" Hikaru questioned. "That's crazy, what a terrible name for a doctor!" Before they spoke in unison. "Unless you're a quack." Yabu looked down, almost ashamed. "I know… I'm here because I came to see my daughter.. My wife left me last month and took my daughter with her. But I know that she attends school here.." I frowned lightly, a little ashamed he'd scared me so much when he was such a broken man. "I don't mean to pry or anything, but why did your wife and daughter leave you?" He decided to re-enact the thing, even using different tones of voice to tell his tale. "Well, you see…" He rambled on as I listened carefully. So he was an over generous guy who would give the poorer, less fortunate free medication and they would owe him too much money. He wasn't bringing any in so his wife was upset with the lack of money… his daughter was upset with his lack of common sense. They left him just like that, and never contacted him… He looked so sad. "And that was it.. they left me, forever. I know I'm terrible at managing our money, and I can't say no to anybody… I don't blame them for being tired of constantly living in debt… But I wanted to see my daughter one more time so I came here.. After being pelted by rain and wandering the streets I finally made it to your school. But as I entered I was mistaken for a doctor here to examine students!" Hikaru looked unamused, as was his brother. "Well of course, you're wearing a lab-coat…" "Anyone would mistake you.." I snorted and shot the boys a glare. Stupid rich people! They should at least have had asked him if he was certified! Anyone in a lab coat may not be a doctor! Maybe they're a mad scientist.. or something. "And then, it happened! When I tried to ask her about my daughter the girl started screaming! And before I even knew it there were all kinds of people chasing me!" Tamaki ended up before the man, in tears like he was. "That's so tragic!" "Doctor Yabu… I think you may have the wrong place.. Are you looking for Ouran Public Highschool?" He looked up, wiping his tears on his sleeve. "Yes, that's it." "I figured that might be the case." Kyoya re-positioned his glasses and began to state the problem matter-of-factly. "This is Ouran ACADEMY, a private institution. Your daughter doesn't go to school here." Hikaru frowned. "Man, that's pretty bad, you don't even know what school your daughter goes to?" "I bet your relationship is so bad because you don't pay attention to her, not because of your stupid debt." Hone looked amazed towards Kyoya as I tried to piece together what the hell was going on. "Wow Kyo-chan! I'm impressed you figured out that he had the wrong school!" Kyoya smirked, feeling quite full of himself I'm sure. "Well there's no way the daughter of such a small-time doctor, would ever be able to get into Ouran Academy." I looked at him wondering it it was seriously okay they were insulting this man to his face like this. Tamaki didn't glance away from Yabu, but he had that same, soft, dutiful tone to his voice as earlier. "Kyoya.. would you please find a map of all the public schools in this area? I would like to help this man find his daughter…" Oh wow Tamaki-senpai! You're really coming through today, aren't you? I'm proud.

We stood, watching from the large pane glass windows of the club room as Doctor Yabu walked away, bowing behind him as he left for his daughter's actual school beneath the cherry trees. Tamaki had really out-done himself.. it was nice to see his true colors… I glanced his way and found myself smiling when I looked away. That was so very selfless of him… Hikaru watched alongside his brother on my other side. "Are you sure about this?..." "After all, even if he does find his daughter there's no guarantee she'll want to speak to him." But Tamaki was still meek, and what he said still surprised me. "Well then… that's something he'll have to find out for himself…" I sighed and watched peacefully as a kite zipped up into the air. Looking away from it I flushed a little and looked at the ground. "Not to sound rude guys but.. could you please get out of here?" Every single one of them seemed to zonk out and step back, surprised and worried. Tamaki was the most desperate. "Michi? Are you still upset with me?! You aren't thinking of quitting the Host Club are you?!" How foolish! I started to laughed and covered my mouth as I half turned and gave him and adoring smile. "Of course not you idiot, I still have to take my physical exam; as a male student of course."
