May: -rejoices- MM is sick! Yes-hey! I have no problems sitting to the left of Rea-san! -claps hands-
Mai: What's gotten into you?
Naru: You just noticed it now? She's been like that all the time. -rolls eyes-
May: My problem now is whether I should go to the Mother-Daughter Bond Camp.
Kyouya: Why not?
May: You're the genius here, you think the pros and cons. -smacks him-
Kyouya: I think...whatever you're thinking. -gulps-
Naru: Are you kidding me? She doesn't think anything! She doesn't have a brain!
May: -smiles like Sir Lloyd- You want to die, Naru-chan?
Chapter 5
"Sigh, we haven't got a peep out of this case as of yet," Mai sighed silently to herself as she walked along a corridor under the gleaming rays of the sun.
She walked past the twins who were wearing totally devilish smiles on their faces.
'They must be plotting something...'
"Hey, Mai-chan!" they both chorused in unison, grabbing each of her wrists and causing her to halt in her walking.
"What, Hikaru-san, Kaoru-san?" she asked, slightly annoyed as she was surprised by their sudden movements.
"Someone's pretty grouchy today...tsk, you'll never get that guy that looks like Kyouya-senpai to like you. Tsk, what a shame," Hikaru concluded as he shook his head.
"You mean Shibuya-san?" Mai asked, looking up at the twins.
"Hm, I think that's him," Kaoru said, his hand on his chin, as if in a thinking pose.
"It's pretty obvious you like him."
"Totally," Hikaru commented his twins last statement.
"I'm calling this harassment," Mai said as she pulled away from the twins but couldn't for her hands were clutched tightly by both of them.
"If you want him to like you," Kaoru said with a sly smile.
"You have to make yourself presentable," Hikaru finished, mirroring his twin's expression.

"Mai? What happened to you?" Houshou asked curiously, Mai was in a different outfit the last time he saw her.
Mai was wearing a red tube dress that fell above her knees. The belt that she was wearing was a darker shade of the red she was wearing and she was wearing drop-down red earrings in the shape of circles and anyone who saw her would obviously think that her ears would give way soon. With red high-heeled sandals, she looked extremely stunning - to others, it seemed.
"I feel your pain," Masako sympathized, patting Mai on the back.
"Mai, get out of that mess and get to work," Naru said, obviously ignoring the radiance she was emitting.
Mai shot the grinning twins a thanks-for-nothing glare and quickly entered the changing room. The twins just shrugged which made her even angrier.
After leaving the changing room, Naru ignored her for the rest of the day.
'Something is definitely wrong with him...'

After Mai left for her room, rather crossly in his opinion, he left his makeshift office and entered the main Host Club room which was completely deserted.
Naru spotted a black form resting on a couch. He felt a nagging feeling somewhere in his body and tended to it immediately. He approached the black form and found out it was actually a clipboard. He took a deep breath and without hesitation, he opened it.
'Fujioka
Haruhi
Female, 16,
1st Year
Became member of the Host Club due to a debt from breaking a Rene vase. Suoh Tamaki and Hitachiin Hikaru are in love with her...'
Naru's eyes widened for a millisecond and continued reading. Below the paragraph, there were some equations written in different colors of ink, which he concluded was written at different points in time.
"Shibuya-san what-" Kyouya began as Naru hear a door open and footsteps approaching him.
He hastily closed the clipboard and handed it to Kyouya without any hesitation. And without looking at Kyouya, he returned to his makeshift office.

"Mai, do you think Haruhi's a guy?" Naru asked her nervously.
They were in Naru's office. Mai was sitting on one of the vacant chairs and Naru was sitting in front of her.
'Naru? Nervous? He's gotta be kidding me!'
"Yeah, why?" Mai replied, getting somewhat curious at what Naru was getting at.
"Well, cause he's a-"
