If I get reviews, I will be I am happy I am more likely to up-date, so it is in your best interest to up-date. That being said, On with the story!
Kanazuki stood there with a strange look on her face as Hunny helped Haruhi back to her feet. "Hunny-kun, what are you doing here?" she questioned with a blank face and an unknown emotion shining in her eyes.
"Heh, We're just looking for the rest of the host club," he replied as Mori came up behind them, taking in the scene silently.
Haruhi couldn't help but feel a little awkward. Here in front of her stood the woman that was currently trying to 'curse' her boyfriend with her 'love'. If standing in front of her in the doorway of a shady 'magic' store wasn't awkward, then she didn't know what was.
Kanazuki just stood there with her eyes moving from Hunny's face to their clasped hands and back again. The silence was unnerving.
"Mitsukuni, Haruhi, they are coming down the street now." Mori's deep voice broke through the quiet like a knife.
"Ah!" Hunny said with fake enthusiasm, looks like it's time to go!" he said as he dragged Haruhi past the dark girl. "See you later Kanazuki-san".
Behind him Haruhi was lost deep in thought. what was that look in the other girls eye? It was strange, but she couldn't quite place it, and Haruhi did not like not knowing things.
"Look Haruhi!" she was snapped out of her thoughts. "I have a voodoo mask!" Tamaki said in an excited voice as he shoved the mask in her face.
"That's a Tiki mask senpai," she said in a bored voice.
"No way!" he said in disbelief, looking the mask over himself as if he could tell the difference. "what's the difference?" came the confused question.
"Voodoo comes from Africa, Tiki comes from the Hawaiian Islands" she lectured in an uninterested voice.
"I knew that" he said in a slightly embarrassed voice.
"Haha, sure you did Tono! Kaoru said coming up behind him.
"That's why you believed the store clerk when he told you" Hikaru joined in with a smirk.
"No I did know! I did!" he argued ardently.
"So you knew?" Hikaru said with a malicious glint in his eyes.
"Yes!" he nodded vigorously.
"your sure you knew?" Kaoru said catching on to what his brother was doing.
"Yes!" He said with a relived and happy expression on his face.
"You knew your lying?" they said together.
"Yes!" Tamaki said with a smile on his face. "wait no! I wasn't lying! I knew, I was only testing her!" he said with desperation in his voice.
"It's not becoming for the 'king' to lie. Very undignified." Kyouya said with a straight face, pushing up his glasses.
"Not you too Kyouya!" the dramatic blond said with fat tears rolling down his face.
With a small smirk on her face she sent him to his doom, "Lier" and into the corner of woe.
Tamaki, being the fool he was, insisted that they do voodoo to undo the cure. Immediately after he heaved a relived sigh and said he could feel the effect of it, as if a weight was lifted form his shoulders. Haruhi thought it was a load of crap. She didn't feel any different and chalked it up to idiot brains giving stupid blonds delusions.
"I'm telling you it really worked!" Tamaki wined to Haruhi. It was now Hosting hours, and Haruhi was currently getting tea and cookies ready for when her next guest came.
It had become a trend among the girls to go to Haruhi when they wanted advice on something. They said that she was good at cheering people up, and pointing them in the right direction. Whether it was boy trouble, drama with their friends, she never knew. They just seemed to think that she had all the answers, and being the good host that she is, she helped them and gave her opinion. She even had some people come to her for help on their homework. Not that she minded, in face she liked that better than listen to people go on and on about how they don't know which brand they should wear to what party.
"What ever you say Tamaki-senpai." a touch of exasperation in her voice. No matter how many times she sent him to the corner of woe today, he just kept coming back, until Kyouya had to tell her to stop upsetting him because it was bad for business. And that was what she was trying to do now, appease him so that he, and she could get back to hosting. It wasn't going to well.
"I'm telling the truth Haruhi!" he continued.
Fed up with his constant whining she snapped, "I already agreed senpai! You continuing to repeat makes me think you are trying to convince yourself!" and with that she walked away, catching the glare Kyouya sent her way as Tamaki made his way to the corner of woe. She didn't regret raising her debt a little, as long as he stayed there, and away from her.
She sighed. There was still five minutes until her next guest, then she would be done for the day. And what a long day it had been. Hunny and Mori where going to graduate just next week and she didn't know how she was going to handle it.
She prided herself on her resilience. She knew that she was not so dependent on one thing that it would leave a large effect on her except her father, and now Hunny. She knew that she would still see him, they where dating after all, but she also knew that their time together would be shortened.
With college, he would need to manage his time better, that meant less Host time, and less Haruhi time. It would be difficult, but she knew she could handle it. Thinking about it, she came to realise just how much Hunny had come to mean to her, and how involved in her life he had become. It was strange. Never before had she let anyone that close to her, and here he did to almost effortlessly.
"Haru-chan," she was pulled out of her musings at the sound of her boyfriends voice. She looked over to see that he was waving to her from the door leading to the kitchen.
Curious she made her way across the room, and to where he was waiting. As soon as she got within distance of him he whisked her into the room, and closed the door behind her. Seconds later she could feel his lips on hers in a gentle caress. Her arms raised to wind around his shoulders, as his to her waist.
His tong moved across her bottom lip asking for entrance which she readily complied to. She let out a soft gasp as she felt his warm hands went under her shirt to rub the small of her back.
Her hands tensed on his shoulders anticipating what his hands would do next, but they stayed firmly on her back. She didn't know if she was relived or disappointed but mattered little as she began to feel light headed for air. Reluctantly their lips parted enough for them to get the much needed oxygen.
"Hi Haru-chan" he breathed against her mouth, not even an inch away.
She gave a small laugh, "That was one good greeting" her voice uncharacteristically breathless.
"Only the best for you Haru-chan" he said with a wide smile that showed the childlike innocence that she fell in love with even if he really wasn't all that Innocent.
"You know, I'm going to be late for my next customer." she said not really caring, but knowing that if she didn't go she would have a higher debt than she did at the beginning of the day.
His face changed into a softer smile, "I know, I just wanted to kiss you. We haven't all day you know" he said as he let go of her, and she him.
With a peck on the cheek she walked back into the third music room and turned her eyes onto the table where her next guest was waiting and got the shock out of her life when she found it was Kanazuki of the black magic club.
