Hey, thanks all for the condolances, but I'll survive... it's the forth pet I've had die in the past 2 years .
And I had to sell a dog...
Oh well, lol.
So... chapter 77 up, second today, but only cos we reached 700 :) YAY!
I've finished the story now, I mean, done. You have until Ch. 90, then that's it, you'll have to wait for the sequal...
It's sad for me too... but it has a REALLY UBER ULTRA AMAZING FLIPPING FANTASTIC ENDING!
so... have fun :)
I clutched to Takashi's shoulders as he carried me while running, once he nearly dropped me, and we both had mini heart attacks, so now he had one arm wrapped around my back, his other under my butt... however, I wasn't complaining.
We all burst into the club room, just in time to see Ritsu run out of the changing room red in the face, and yelling he was sorry.
The twins were first to attack him, yelling that he was a peeping tom.
"You saw, didn't you Bosa Nova?" they sneered.
"No, I didn't see a thing!" he stammered, "I mean, I caught a glance, yeah, but it all happened so fast! I didn't- it was just an accident, I promise you, I am not a pervert!"
"Of course you would say that, sure sound of a guilty conscience." sneered Honey... funny how the cutest person in the club could be the most intimidating.
"Guys..." I said, trying to stand in, but being ignored... yet again.
"So... Haruhi is a girl?" asked Ritsu.
"Red alert, he's on to Haruhi's little secret." said Kaoru.
"That's not good." agreed Hikaru.
Tamaki paled at an extremely fast rate, one that could not be good for his health.
I think... that once the twins tried to 'induce amnesia' with a bat, then Kyouya and I stood in.
"That's enough you two, leave the assault and battery to the professionals."
At this, Honey cracked his knuckled, and Takashi shifted his weight.
"No! Stop right there!" I snapped, pushing past all of them, grabbing Hikaru's bat, and shoving Kaoru of Ritsu.
"How can you be so calm about this?!"
"Look, the boss is so in shock that he's regressing!"
Kyouya smirked.
"Well than, now that the proverbial cat is out of the bag... let's talk."
I sighed... this was going to stoop into the depths of blackmail and serious beatings unless everything turned out fine and dandy.
"Haruhi is compelled to his the fact that she is a girl due to... unmitigated circumstances. While we can't physically force you to cooperate exactly, there is something I would like you to bear in mind.; Coming from the kind of family you do, I'm certain you hear all sorts of juicy little rumors, enough to know what is true and what is not."
Ritsu looked like he crapped his pants... like he knew what was coming.
"Take the Ootori family's private police force, the black onion squad;" L.O.L. "It is sad that they can be mobilized against out enemies in the blink of an eye."
All of a sudden, his evil demeanor switched to a happy smiley pleasant one, and he grinned.
"You have heard of them, right?"
Ritsu froze, and I distinctly heard him mutter 'this isn't a talk..."
"come on guys, stop scaring him. Look Casa Noda, it doesn't really matter to me, you can tell whoever you want to."
"If of course you want hoards of girls after Haruhi's head..." I muttered. Of course people would be pissed.
"Well Bosa Nova, since you know she's a girl-"
"Are you in love?"
I face palmed yet again, and then swung at the twins with the bat.
I ended up running after them around the room, with the other's (minus Tamaki) laughing in the background.

It was club the next day; I'd kept hold of the bat and was aimlessly hitting sponge balls around the room, with Honey and his guests running to fetch them in a random little game.
The twins kept their distance from me, as did Tamaki, because when Ritsu went home last night, he'd gotten really hormonal and stressed about losing his daughter. I'd told him to snap out of his little fantasy world and think about what he's really stressing about, what he really thinks he might lose.
I know he likes Haruhi... as in like likes her. It's just... he doesn't know that.
So it's kind of taking the piss now.
Kyouya was watching with an expressionless face, probably not happy with me causing this minor disruption, but glad that I was using sponge balls.
Then my phone rang out as 'Disenchanted' by My Chemical Romance started up.
This could only mean one thing.
"Kyouya, your turn!" I shouted throwing the bat gently to him, so he caught it, sighed, and took over hitting the balls, and I answered my phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Saori! I have a surprise~" yelled Lisa my bffaeaeae (best friend for ever and ever and ever and ever).
"What?"
"I have plane tickets!" she yelled, though held back on the rest of her statement... though I think I knew what she meant.
"Seriously?"
"Yep, I'm setting off tomorrow! Meet me a Tokyo airport, 'kay~?"
"Oh my God, yes! Yes! Yes!" I yelled, jumping up and down in a very happy mood, not caring that the whole club rooms occupants was staring at me.
"Okay, just thought I'd let you know! I'm gonna go brush up on Japanese... since you made me learn, like, six years ago how to speak it, and I'm no longer good at it."
"You do that love, I can't wait to see you!"
"Okay sweetie, bye bye!"
"Bye!"
I hung up, and then glomped whoever was nearest to me, that person being Kyouya.
"What are you so happy about?" he asked, trying to make me stop making him jump.
"Lisa's coming! Lisa's coming!" I chanted, over and over, still bouncing, holding Kyouya's hands, and spinning him around.
"Lisa, as in Lisa Hunt, your best friend?"
"Yep, yep, yepsy yep!" I laughed, moving on to hug Honey and Takashi in turn.
"That's really good Sa-Chan, now we can meet a friend of yours from England!"
"Yeah, I know!"
"That's great Saori." smiled Takashi, only saying it very quietly.
"Mhmm."
I laughed and bounced... then stopped.
"I have to go and tell my grandma... Kyouya, I'm going to have to leave early! I'm really sorry!"
"No problem. You weren't really needed here today anyways." he said idly, swinging the bat and whacking another ball in Tamaki's direction, making the blond cry out and throw himself on the floor.
As I ran for the door, I saw Ritsu come in slowly, so I smiled and gave him a hug too, just so he wouldn't feel left out, and ran off.
Half way down the corridor, I ran into a cloaked figure.
Guess who?
"Nekozawa! Fancy seeing you strolling around in the light... despite the cloak and wig, I think you're getting better at this."
"Hmm? Oh, yes... maybe." he mumbled, messing with Belzeneff.
"Yeah... so... what are you doing walking around out here?" I asked, linking him and walking with him to wherever he was going.
"I was on my way to the black magic club actually... we're having a ritual in a short while. Care to join us?"
"I'd love to... but I'm afraid I can't. I have to get home."
"Oh? Well, that's a shame... maybe next time."
"Yeah."
I smiled at him, and unhooked my arm from his. I said goodbye, and went on my way.
