The Host-Club now stood in the Third Music Hall with bated breathes. It was strange for the group. Due to the fact, they were usually prepared for almost everything. They always had a way to know how to compose themselves for whomever walked through that very door. Even when Haruhi had walked through that door the first time they had composed themselves to fit the situation. However, this current state of affairs seemed considerably different.

"Come in…" Kyoya said simply tilting his head as he scrutinized the white doors as if trying to see through to the other side.

The loud click of the door handle seemed to be some mnemonic tool for the Host Club members, for as the sound registered in their ears each person took to their roles. Haruhi blinked as she eyed the young men around her placed on handsome smiles upon their faces and stood in cool stances, well except Kyoya. Kyoya for the most part was always Kyoya.

A lock of pink hair slipped through the crack of the door followed by nervous emerald green eyes. The host club faltered, this girl was the protection? She looked to be their age. The girl walked in further and gestured to something outside the door. Spiky blonde hair popped into view and then came striking blue eyes. Okay, now they had a guy?

"My goodness…" whispered Kaoru to Hikaru, "if are mother saw that orange jump-suit she'd probably die,"

The blonde-haired boy cracked a smile and waved at the host club, while the girl took on a slight blush and gave an annoyed look to the boy beside her. Kyoya lifted a brow, but said nothing. Haruhi blinked and then sighed. Of course, why did she think Tamaki could do anything right.

"OH!" Honey-Sempai said as he slid off Mori's shoulders and ran over to the girl with pink hair, taking the time to hold Bun-Bun up to her head, "Your hair matches my bunny!"

The faint blush on the pink-haired girl's face increased and a small smile showed on her face. The blonde-haired boys face scrunched up and he blinked at Honey-sempai, whom took bun-bun and shoved it into his face. A loud gruff "Ahem" was heard, and all the attention of the room went to Kyoya.

"Sorry to interrupt" Kyoya began, "But might I ask who graces our presence?"

The pink-haired girl looked surprised and took a minute to think before bowing. She looked up slightly with her light pink hair curtaining her face; an irritated look came to her face as her green eyes shifted to the blue-eyed blonde as he just stood there. Her eyes narrowed as she reached out a hand and gripped the back of his spiky blonde hair; and through his head forward into a bow. A "yelp" was heard from the boy as this was down.

"I'm Sakura Haruno…" the pink-hair girl said as she released her grip of the boy's head and stood up straight. Honey-sempai had stepped back from the two as they made their introductions. The rest of the Host-Club had yet to blink, for this truly was a new and strange situation to be in. The blonde-hair boy rubbed the back of his head, before sending a pointed glare at the girl. He then turned his attention to the rest of the group.

"AND I'M NARUTO UZAMAKI THE NEXT HOKAGE!" the boy yelled boisterously. Sakura sighed at her loud friend, and then proceeded to actually take the time to truly focus on the group of people in front of her. A breath caught in her throat. They were simply gorgeous. And some of them looked completely bewildered…

"So, did Tamaki send you?" Haruhi asked as she studied the new arrivals, while Mori went "Aa" (he wanted to know too). They seemed to be something their king was capable of. They appeared amateurish, their age, and had fairly interesting and quirky personalities, much like the Host-Club itself.

"Oh," Sakura went before digging in a pouch by her side and pulling out a slightly crinkled piece of paper, "I'm not sure if it was this Tamaki that sent for us, but someone did ask us to come here. We are supposed to be looking after, Haruhi?"

Her answer seemed to answer the one question on everyone's mind, but raised so many others. Kyoya narrowed his eyes as his began to scrutinize the new arrivals further. Naruto looked over at Sakura as he messed around with his head-band. The poor cherry-blossom girl was to busy occupied being wary of the look on Kyoya's face to pay attention to Naruto.

Kyoya lifted his hand to his face to adjust his glasses once more, and approached Sakura and Naruto. Sakura was somewhat frightened and attracted by Kyoya as he stopped in front of her. He then took the time to rip the paper from her hand and study it for conformation.

"What organization are you from officially? And why would they only send two people, if this was such an urgent case as specified on this paper?" Kyoya began in a very formal and critical tone.

Honey-Sempai by this time had toddled back over to Mori to be carried. He was getting tired again. The twins watched the scene before them with amused expressions. The girl looked like she would be as fun to play with as Haruhi, plus the blonde-haired one looked as easy to tease as Tamaki. The twins were over-whelmed with mischievous ideas already. Haruhi looked on with a bored expression.

"Well you see we're not really with any organization per se, but we do work for our village…" Sakura said, but was interrupted by her overly exuberant team-mate.

"WE'RE NINJAS!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly still clinging to the head-band atop his head. At this time the twins took the time to burst out laughing. Tears poured out of the twin's eyes as they howled. Ninja's? This guy was a ninja?

"You guys are Ninja's?" chortled Kaoru and Hikaru cackled, "Aren't Ninja's supposed to silent and deadly!??! You guys are a joke!"

Sakura clenched her fist, but said nothing as she fumed in silence. However, Naruto took a different approach. He almost turned red in the face, as his anger boiled up. Kyoya watched in interest, while the twins laughed harder.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW!" screamed Naruto as he raised his fist in the air. Both Sakura and Haruhi put their face in their hands as they sighed. The twins calmed down in their laughter to gaze over at Naruto.

"Well we know you obviously have no fashion sense judging by that get-up you're sporting," they replied in unison before laughing again at Naruto's expense. The blue-eyed blonde almost growled. Mori blinked at the scene and Honey clutched Bun-Bun to his chest. His eyes then spotted Haruhi inching towards the door.

"Where are you going Haruhi?" asked Honey-Sempai as she almost reached the door. Everyone else was too preoccupied with the twins laughing at the now very cheesed off Naruto, that no-one else seemed to have noticed attempt at a get-away.

"I'm starting to get a head-ache, Sempai. I'm just going outside to get some fresh air," Haruhi said calmly before completely disappearing behind the door of the Third Music Hall. Mori and Honey watched the door a little longer before turning back to the people that had apparently not noticed the person in the process of being "protected" just waltzed out of the room.

"YOU GUYS HAVE NO FASHION SENSE! YOU GUYS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME!" Naruto burst out. The twins glanced to each other with incredulous faces. The urge to laugh came again, but they held it in.

"We're twins…" they said in-sync. Sakura stifled a laugh and Kyoya seemed appalled by Naruto's complete obliviousness. However, Kyoya felt it was time to express the second part of his question again.

"As I stated before. I wish to know, why they would only send two of you." Kyoya asked. Naruto stopped yelling and looked over at Sakura who shuffled her black boots. She looked up to stare right into the lenses of Kyoya's glasses.

"Well, Naruto and I are capable of handling this kind of job fairly easily ourselves. However, we do have another member of our temporary team. You see our original team-member…went somewhere. Then his replacement was borrowed to be a replacement on another team. And then, we had someone volunteer to come with us…" Sakura answered taking the time to take breaths when needed.

"Is this volunteer qualified? And furthermore, where is he right now?" Kyoya asked. Surprisingly, it was Naruto who approached Kyoya this time, with an almost serious expression on his face. Almost…

"Well, for one thing this guy is very qualified for like a body-guard job or whatever we're doing" Naruto began as he put his hand behind his head, "Yet, he doesn't really work well with other team-mates. However, he heard we were coming over somewhere that paid well when he happened upon us in our Hokage's…err…Boss's office,"

"What Naruto is trying to say is that he is qualified, but once we arrived here…we have no idea where he went. Due to the fact, we don't usually work with him," Sakura added to Naruto's explanation. Kyoya nodded and flipped his black folder open to write some things down. He looked back up after a minute or two.

"And what is this mysterious team-mate's name?" Kyoya asked.

…………………….

Haruhi sighed again as she moved her bangs out of her face. It was slightly windy today, but she really wasn't bothered by it. Outside was ten times for quiet then the school and more importantly the Third Music Hall. She adjusted her baby-blue blazer to a more comfortable position. What seemed ironic to her about this day was that without Tamaki here, somehow things became a thousand times fore chaotic.

Haruhi trudged along the cut path of the school maze and garden. Besides the wind, it was a fairly decent day. Her eyes scanned the area before spotting a shady spot under a tree. Taking her time, she stopped in front of the tree and sat down under it.

Her back grazed against the bark of the tree, and she hoped that it wasn't ruining the jacket. She was sure that if she did ruin the jacket, Kyoya would merrily tick away at his calculator and add another eternity to her debt. On second thought, a merry Kyoya slightly bothered her.

"They're going to drive me crazy," Haruhi said tiredly. A brief serene silence followed Haruhi's comment as she sat back lazily against the tree. Then the silence broke, as a voice spoke.

"Who's going to drive you crazy?" someone asked. Haruhi blinked and looked around. Who had asked that? The voice she heard had been deep and smooth. Her eyes gazed about her again. Where had that come from?

"Hello?" tested Haruhi, as if to see if she had imagined the voice she just heard. She waited a moment for a reply before reluctantly getting up from her spot on the tree. Standing up straight, she attempted to get a better view of the garden. She walked a few steps from the tree and looked in both directions.

"Hello." The voice answered back causing Haruhi to jump. Haruhi swung herself around to face the tree she'd been leaning on. Her eyes widened a bit at the sight that faced her. There was a young-man just hanging upside down from the tree.

His hair was ashen maroon. He had amazing turquoise colored eyes, surrounded by deep circles of black. He had some large object attached to his back. And he was just hanging there. He was just hanging there, upside down with nothing to hold him to the tree limb. Of all the strange things to happen today, this by far was the strangest.

"How are you doing that?" asked Haruhi curiously. The young-man blinked and tilted his head to the side. Haruhi walked slowly closer to the tree to get a better view.

"How am I doing what?" the young-man retorted plainly in his rich deep voice. Haruhi stopped walking and stood there for a minute. She thought the answer to that question was so obvious. How was it normal for a person to hang upside down from a tree? Did this person do it so often that it was normal?

"I mean, how are you hanging upside down from the tree?" Haruhi tried again. The young-man seemed to register what Haruhi said, and appeared to be thinking of an answer. After a moment or two, he did answer.

"I have the ability to," he said with a dead-pan look in that same smooth voice. Haruhi didn't no how to react to that answer. It was a true statement. However, it was just vague enough to be completely unhelpful. Haruhi decided she'd live with that answer anyway. She assumed that maybe this was the best she could get.

"Um…I'm Haruhi," Haruhi said, as the young-man continued to stare at her except now more intently, "What's your name?"

She watched as the wind played with his hair. He looked strange and handsome at the same time. Haruhi found this was a strange combination of words and ideas, but it seemed to fit this young-man best. He was strange, but handsome. After a brief silence, he answered.

"My name is Gaara…"
