"Will you stop it already!" Tamaki shouted as they relaxed in the twins game room.

"Stop what?" Hikaru and Haruhi asked in unison.

It wasn't that hard to do it. Haruhi had watched the twins often enough to know what he was going to say, and it seems that he knew what she was going to say as well. She never realized how tense she always was until she had to force herself to relax to get her body language to be more like Kaoru's.

Kyouya sighed. Tamaki's yelling was beginning to wear on his nerves. Tamaki kept jumping from one 'twin' to the other, trying to get one of them to crack and revile which one is Haruhi. Kaoru, in the meanwhile was watching it all happen in amusement that he didn't even try to hide.

It was a little strange, seeing Haruhi's face twisted in a mischievous expression that had only ever been seen on the twins face. "Looks like you are having some trouble Tono." Kaoru said from his place to the side. " And here I thought that you would be able to tell you 'daughter when you saw her." he gave a fake sigh of disappointment, " how sad."

In a flash Tamaki was once again in his corner of woe. "It's not my fault..." he mumbled into the dark corner he was hunched into. "They corrupted my cute little daughter..." by now he was rocking back and forth in near hysteria.

"Stupid" Haruhi mumbled as she rolled her eyes in his direction.

Tamaki's ear perked up as he heard her say this, he suddenly came rushing over to her and engulfed her in his biggest bear hug yet! "Haruhi! I know it's you!"

Haruhi sputtered in disbelief, trying to compose herself, "wrong one Tono". she tried to go for a teasing tone, but her lack of oxygen prevented that.

"No, I would know that tone of voice anywhere. You are Haruhi!" he said with conviction.

"Ah, looks like the jig is up," Hikaru said leaning up against the wall, "and you where doing so well too."

"That she was, Hikaru." Kaoru said as he went to stand beside his twin. "but I think she will be able to pull it off at school" he said in a thoughtful voice as he placed his hand on his chin.

With Tamaki's hug getting very old very fast, Haruhi used her new found strength (being a boy now and all) and pushed Tamaki away.

"Haruhi!" he wined as he rubbed his now aching chest, he was sure that he would have hand shaped bruises now. "It's okay to give daddy a hug, it doesn't matter if you are stuck in that icky boys body, father will love you anyways."

"Leave me alone senpai." she said with irritation and exasperation dripping from her every word.

"But Haruhi!"

She sighed, it looked like the fun was over, and this was going to be a long day...


Haruhi sat beside Hikaru, not yet ready to move out of her seat in the plush limousine.

"Haruhi," he said as he put a supportive hand on her shoulder, "you don't have to worry, I wont let you mess up".

She heaved a great sigh, they where parked outside of the school, with a few minutes to spare. She wasn't sure if she was ready to walk through the doors as Kaoru Hitacchin, but ready or not, it had to be done.

"Okay, lets go" she said as he fixed her face into the playful expression she always saw the twins with, and opened the door with a sence of determination.

Before she could step out, Hikaru gently but firmly grabbed her wrist to catch her attention. She turned around to see him with a slightly concerned expression on his usually care free face, it made her heart skip for a moment, so fleetingly that she could almost pretend that it didn't happen.

He must have been pleased with what he saw on her face for he gave her an uncharacteristically gently smile, "good girl", and let her go.

She stepped out into the chilly morning breeze. She relished the feel of it against her face and in her hair.

The next moment she felt an arm slung over her shoulder, a gesture not uncommon between the Hitacchin twins, and set off the the doors. The comforting weight of his arm giving her courage.

If he was there with her, she could do it. Of that she had no doubt.
