Chapter Four
A New School Week
(Monday)

Today was an off day for the seven hosts. It was no surprise though that all seven of them still decided to spend their off time in the Third Music Room.

Hunny was eating cakes and Mori… was being Mori. Kyoya sat at a table, writing away in his little black book. The twins were sprawled out on a couch, painting each other's toenails.

Haruhi was trying to study. Tamaki was presently bugging Haruhi, thus the commoner's trying.

Finally, Haruhi could take it no longer. "Sempai, please stop! I'm trying to read!"

"But, I was talking with you first!" Tamaki whined.

"I was studying before you started bothering me. Not the other way around."

"You think me talking to you is bothersome? You think I'm a nuisance?" Tamaki's eyes grew huge and watery.

Haruhi groaned. "Don't make me regret being your girlfriend."

"Ahhh! Mommy, Haruhi threatened me!"

Kyoya glanced up at his friend, then back at his black book. "Do not bring me into your little dispute. Besides, in this case I agree with Haruhi."

"Mommy!" Tamaki cried.

Haruhi stood up from her chair with her textbook in hand. She swiftly walked out of the Third Music Room, seaching for somewhere quieter.

Tamaki, knowing better than to follow Haruhi, instantly went to bother Mommy. The other four hosts did as they did before.

"I'm done," Kaoru said. He released his brother's feet and Hikaru examined his work.

"Nice."

Kaoru grinned. "May I see mine?"

"Almost done," Hikaru finished Kaoru's last toe and gave him his feet back. The two brothers sat in silence for a little bit; Hikaru gazing at Tamaki.

"Now?" Hikaru inquired his brother softly, so no one overheard.

Kaoru gave a slight nod. The two stood and walked over to Tamaki and Kyoya.

"Kyoya, weren't you told as a child-" Hikaru started.

"-not to interact with perverts?" Kaoru added.

"I am not a pervert!" Tamaki exclaimed.

The twins began running, knowing the blonde would take chase.

A Hitachiin Limo

"Today went better than expected."

Hikaru grinned. "Haruhi sure was a help, and the thing with Milord was hilarious." The two laughed a little as they remembered him chasing them.

"I don't think we could have done it better." Kaoru stated smugly. In fact they hadn't planned bothering Tamaki today at all, but how could they pass up an opportunity like that?

"I can't wait until tomorrow."

Kaoru grinned at his brother. "Neither can I." Neither can I.

Tuesday Afternoon

The seven hosts of Ouran Academy were changing into their outfits for the day.

When Haruhi was done getting into her costume, she began setting out tea sets and platters of little sandwiches and sweets. She was in the back room, placing things on a tray, when Kaoru joined her.

"Haruhi, did you manage to find a place to study yesterday?" Kaoru questioned casually.

"Surprisingly, yes." She reached for two more tea cups. "Now tell me what you want." Haruhi said, not looking at the red-haired twin.

"Want? Why would I want something?"

"Your voice gives you away."

I knew she would notice. Good thing I planned for this.

Kaoru sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "You know me so well." He hopped up onto one of the counters.

Haruhi stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him. "What are you up to?"

"I'm not up to anything Haruhi." Kaoru glanced away from her, "It's just," he started softer, "there's something that's been bothering me."

Haruhi thought about how he had acted through classes today. He had seemed preoccupied.

He seems earnest enough.

"What's wrong Kaoru?"

"It's… You're not going to like it if I tell you." His face was lowered, his eyes staring at the ground.

"Kaoru, I'm your friend. You can tell me." Concern laced her words. Is he having another fight with Hikaru?

"Haruhi, yesterday... yesterday when you left the room to find a different place to study… Tamaki-"

"Milord, may I have a word with you?" Hikaru called out.

"Why ever would you want to chat with me? Have you finally decided to repent your devil ways and follow in my footsteps as a king among men?" Tamaki sang out.

"No."

Tamaki's face fell. "Then why did you call me over here?"

"To discuss Haruhi, more specifically to discuss what Haruhi told Kaoru and I earlier today." Hikaru's eyes began to gleam with mischief, but Tamaki was too interested in what the twin had to say to notice.

"What did Haruhi tell you two today?" Tamaki asked, sounding a little nervous.

Putty in my hands.

"She told us-"
