Just a quick reminder, when the club is open Sam is male and when it's just the members she's a girl.
In the school library, Haruhi was studying. She heard the chiming of the clock tower signalling the time. Groaning, Haruhi closed her notebook, walked out of the library and ran through the hallways, racing to the host club.
"I'm never gonna hear the end of it if I show up late." Haruhi muttered to herself.
Haruhi finally made it to Music Room 3 where the Host Club is usually held. Opening the door, she was met with an unusual sight, everywhere she looked she saw trees, flowers and more trees.
'What's this? Where am I?' Haruhi thought confused.
"Welcome!" Seven males hosts announced, all wearing tropical outfits. 'When I opened the door, the whole place was decked out like a tropical paradise. Can you see this from heaven Mom?' Haruhi thought with annoyed stress lines. 'This is the club Sam and I was forced to joined.' At that moment, a toucan dropped onto Haruhi's head.
"You finally made it, Haruhi. You're so late." The twins said together. With the toucan still sitting on her head, Haruhi pulled out a small calendar. "I could be wrong but my calendar says it's still early spring." She said looking at the date.
Mori started running around the place with Honey hanging on his shoulders. "Cuddling under a kotatsu table fearing the cold is nonsense. And besides the heating system we have is the best." Tamaki said posing with a fan. Haruhi and Sam scoffed at his idiocy.
'He never learns to shut up, does he?' Sam thought getting annoyed.
"Do you have a problem with the way we run our club, Haruhi, Sam? Be careful what you say, you both owe us eight million yen remember." Kyoya said smiling a shit-eating grin.
Lightning stroke both Haruhi and Sam as they froze. The vase smashing on the ground replayed in their minds. Eight million yen.
"Gentlemen don't bundle up in bulky clothing." Tamaki said. "It may be chilly early spring out there in the real world, but here at the club we want to surprise our chilly little kittens with a warm tropical paradise."
'God he is annoying.' Sam thought in the middle of Tamaki's rant. 'Why are Honey-Sempai and Mori-Sempai still running around?'
Sam stared at the brooding female and flamboyant blonde. "Oh yes, we've turned this place into Nirvana. A balmy tropical island of ever-lasting summer!" Tamaki said, sparkles growing around him. "That's funny 'cause I feel a massive chill right now." Haruhi said with the blonde's arm around her shoulder.
Sam snickered at that ever-so blunt statement. 'This is why I like you Haruhi.'
Haruhi looked at Sam and saw that he was also cosplaying. "You're cosplaying as well, Sam?" She asked him. He shrugged. "I had to, besides I didn't exactly have a choice." Sam grumbled, glaring in the twins direction who just grinned innocently.
'Just because I told these guys my secret. It doesn't mean I trust them that easily, especially that Shadow King.' Sam thought planning on keeping his guard up.
"Only those with excellent social standing and those from filthy rich families are lucky enough to spend their time here at the élite private school; Ouran Academy. The Ouran Host Club is where the school's handsomest boys with too much time on their hands, entertain young ladies who also have way too much time on their hands. Just think of it as Ouran Academy's elegant playground for the super-rich and beautiful."
'The Host Club is now open for business.'
"What heartlessness. Even with my lustrious skin shining like brilliant ivory, exposed by my Balinese king outfit." Tamaki said. "I'm no more than a slave before my goddess. I kneel before you and swear my loyalty." Tamaki said tilting one of his guests close to his face.
"Oh Tamaki." 'If he says something else like that, I'm gonna puke.' Sam thought with a poker face, leaving the table after picking up the guest's empty glass and walking away with Haruhi at his side.
"Oh yes I almost forgot to mention to you ladies. Next week, the Ouran Host Club is sponsoring a party." Tamaki said to his guests. "We're throwing a party?" Haruhi asked as she walked along side Sam, looking back at Tamaki.
'I understand me serving the guests, seeing I don't have any requests at the moment but why is Haruhi helping me?' Sam thought a little confused. "What kind of party is it going to be?" Sam turned his head to the twins table hearing their guests ask, "Is it going to be formal?"
"Yes in fact we've rented the school's largest hall." Hikaru said arm slung across his chair. Kaoru finished, hands holding up his head, "It's the perfect place for dancing." Hikaru quickly grabbed his brother's chin. "But I really wanted to spend some alone time with you Kaoru." He purred. Kaoru blushed and fluttered his eyelashes slightly. "Don't be upset Hikaru. I know exactly how you feel."
The guests started squealing with red blushes on their faces. "The guests seem to be even more worked up than they usually are." Haruhi commented as she and Sam were standing in front of a bar counter with Kyoya, watching the scene.
"It's the display of skin Haruhi." Sam said to her. "He's right. Showing some skin proves popular with the ladies." Kyoya explained writing on a clipboard. "So are you the one who came up with this tropical paradise idea?" Haruhi questioned.
"I have no decision-making authority. All the club's policies have been laid out by the club's king, Tamaki." Kyoya said. His eyes glinted as he fixed his glasses giving them both a closed-eye shit eating grin. "But I guess there's no harm in admitting to casually slipping a Bali photo book onto his desk."
Sam blinked at the snake crawling up the tree behind Kyoya, giving him bad shivers down his spine.
'So he's the real brains behind the operation.' Haruhi thought gaining stress lines.
'So he's the mastermind behind this plot.' Sam thought.
"Ta-da!" Honey said jumping up to his guests wearing a Balinese flower necklace. "Oh you're so cute Honey!" The girls said. "Hi ladies, I love these Balinese flowers. We had them flown in." Honey cutely said to his guests.
Mori came up to them holding a pineapple and a blank expression. "Takashi!" Honey said as he spotted him then he proceeded to climb up Mori like a tree. Honey had another flower necklace and placed it on Mori's neck. "There! We match!" Honey said hugging the giant with cute pink flowers surrounding him. "Oh they're covered in camellias." One of the girls said nearly fainting but her friend luckily caught her.
Haruhi watched afar from her table while Sam was coming towards her's to serve her guests their drinks. 'I'm still thoroughly confused by the two of them.' Haruhi thought staring at them with a poker face.
"Um Haruhi." One of Haruhi's regulars said catching her attention. "Aren't you going to wear a tropical outfit like the other boys?" Sam was listening to the conversation as he placed their refreshments on the table.
"I'd like to see that." The second girl said. Sam decided to have a little fun with them. He wrapped his arms around Haruhi's neck from behind, catching her by surprise and joined in on the conversation.
"You see ladies, Haruhi's quite shy and a little self-conscious about his body, worried that it won't be enough to satisfy you lovely ladies." Sam said flirty, winking at the guests who turned a little pink.
"No it's not that." Haruhi said holding her hands up, Sam's arms still around her. "I just don't think it's appropriate to wear anything but early spring attire in early spring, you know?" She said explaining to her customers. "But we have one ready for you Haruhi. I think you'll like it , you and I are a pair." Tamaki said showing a Balinese Queen outfit. "No thanks." Haruhi bluntly declined Tamaki causing him to turn to stone at the rejection.
Sam removed himself from Haruhi saying, "You're no fun Haruhi. I'm going to see if the twins can give me a better time." But instantly regretted it as they showed up on his sides out of nowhere. "Hey Sam, why don't you come tell our guests what happened when you came over to our house and we all played doctor?" Hikaru fake whispered in Sam's ear so their guests could hear as they dragged him to their table.
Haruhi just ignored Sam's cries for help and turned back to her customers. "Wow Haruhi, you're really faithful to the different seasons, aren't you?" The first girl with light brown hair asked.
"I think that's great. I hope we're lucky enough that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom on the night of the party." The darker brown-haired girl said.
"The two of us dancing among the cherry blossoms. It's so dreamy." The third girl with light black hair said, sighing happily.
"You really think so?" Haruhi asked her guests, "You know ladies, I think it's so cute when you dream like that." Haruhi complimented her guests tilting her head making sparkles appear in a cute fashion. The girls stared at Haruhi, blushes dusted upon their cheeks.
Another guest walked up to Haruhi's table. "Excuse me. I'd hate to disturb but I think it's time for the hosts to switch clients." The guest said. "Oh I'm sorry you must be my next appointment. Miss...uh." Haruhi trailed off not knowing the customer's name.
"My name's Kanako, Kanako Kasugazaki. You're even cuter than I expected." She said tilting Haruhi's head to meet her eyes. "I've decided. From now on you're going to be my new favourite host Haruhi." Kanako said.
Tamaki gasped in shock turning white when he heard what Kanako said. 'What's his problem?' Sam thought as he was finally away from the twins, seeing Tamaki turn a ghost white.
Slurping could be heard throughout the club. "I can't take this anymore!" Tamaki whined in depression.
"Hey boss." Hikaru called out to Tamaki who was eating noodles by a window in the far corner of the room. "Why don't you stop eating that commoner's ramen and come over here to help us with the party planning?"
"Does it really bother you that princess Kasuga has taken a liking to Haruhi?" Kaoru questioned. Kyoya was typing away on his laptop before saying, "He shouldn't be surprised. She's had the illness for a while now, hasn't she?"
"What illness?" Haruhi and Sam questioned. Hikaru walked up behind Kyoya. They blinked as Hikaru held up his hands and explained. "She's got the host hopping disease." Kaoru appeared from behind his twin repeating the motion. "AKA the-never-the-same-boy-twice disease."
Kyoya explained further to the confused commoners. "Usually, our customers choose a favourite host and then see them regularly. However, Princess Kanako tends to change her favourites on a regular basis." He said still typing on the laptop in front of him.
Honey came up to Haruhi holding Usa-chan. "That's right. 'Cause before she chose you, she was with Tama-chan." Honey said. "Well I wouldn't blame her. I mean if I was with Tamaki, I'd choose someone else over him as well." Sam said gaining snickers from the twins standing next to her.
"Oh so he's upset because I took her from him." Haruhi deducted bluntly. Tamaki stormed over and screamed, "SHUT UP!" His shout caused their hair to blow behind them. "I COULDN'T CARE LESS!" He pointed at the two cross-dressing girls. "I'm running out of patience! Haruhi, Sam, it's time you started dressing like a girl!"
Haruhi and Sam sweatdropped, Honey clinged to Sam's sleeves, tears pricking at his eyes at Tamaki's screaming.
"I don't understand how you two could be so popular with the ladies when you yourselves are ladies! And no one in the entire school knows the truth except for those of us here!" (AN: I know that somewhere, truth is laughing at this.)
Hikaru and Kaoru appeared on either side of Tamaki, hands raised. "Haruhi opted out of taking gym classes." Hikaru stated. "And the attendance numbers are all mixed together so no one can tell." Kaoru added.
Tamaki raced off but came back with a trunk saying 'King's private property'. He opened it and started digging through it. "That's enough. Now you two listen to daddy." He said bringing out two enlarged picture frames. One of Haruhi in Middle school before she cut her hair and the other was of Sam who had super long wavy brown hair before she too cut it all off.
"DADDY WANTS YOU TO GO BACK TO THE WAY YOU WEREEEEEEEE!" Tamaki cried. Haruhi and Sam glared at him. "DON'T GO BLOWING UP OUR PHOTOS WITHOUT ASKING US FIRST!" Haruhi and Sam shouted at him, pissed off.
The girls sweatdropped as they watched the Host Club gather around the pictures. "The more I look at these pictures, the more amazed I am." Hikaru said. Two pictures from when the Host Club first met the girls appeared. Hikaru gestured to the 9th grade photos, "How could these possibly become those?" He gestured to the other photos.
"The day before school started, one of the kids in my neighbourhood got some gum in my hair." Haruhi told them. "It's a real pain to get gum out of long hair. So I decided to cut it all off. I didn't care if I looked like a dude, you know?" The boys looked at Sam waiting to hear her reason.
"When I was working on a project, my hair aciddently got burned by the wielding torch." Sam said remembering that she was working on fixing her motorcycle, when her ponytail got caught by the flames of the wielding torch. "It was a mess so I just cut it all off. If I was gonna be a dude, I figured I gotta look like one, right?" Sam said explaining herself.
Tamaki began to cry again. "GIRLS SHOULD NEVER REFER TO HERSELF AS A DUDE!" Tamaki turned to Kyoya and whined, "MAMA! Haruhi and Sam's using those dirty boy words again!" He said crying into a handkerchief as he dropped to his knees. Sam laughed at this. Kaoru turned to Kyoya and asked confused,
"I'm sorry but who is Mama?"
"Based on club position, I assume it's me." Kyoya said which made Sam laugh harder.
'Kyoya is Mama!? Oh I'm going to love messing with him.' Sam thought still laughing, missing the heated glare pointed at her from Kyoya.
"Look I don't see what you're crying about. Working as a host, Sam and I can pay back more of our debt. It'll never happen if we're just errand boys." Haruhi said to the sniffling idiot.
"Hate to change the subject," Hikaru began looking at the brunettes. "But do either of you have formal dancing experience? You'll need it at the party." This caused Sam to stop laughing and both girls to freeze. Kaoru glanced at Sam wondering why she stopped laughing. He watched as she and Haruhi gained looks of distress.
Haruhi slowly tilted her head saying, "Uh no, but the party doesn't have anything to do with my quota right?" Sam picked up from there. "I'm not interested in going to events, so if we could be excused..." She said starting to back up but froze when Tamaki appeared behind her and Haruhi.
"Definitely not." Tamaki said pointing a finger. "Refine gentlemen must know how to dance. If you want to live the life of a host that badly, you're going to have to show us how far you're both willing to go." He struck a dancing pose. "I order you two to master dancing the waltz in one week." He did a twirl. "And you'll demonstrate it for us at the party." He sharply pointed at the fear-struck girls
First at Haruhi, "Or I'll tell the entire school that you're a girl and knock you back down to errand boy," lastly at Sam, "And I'll tell everyone in the whole school about your 'gift' and get you kicked out of this school." Haruhi started trembling in fear whereas Sam's soul was leaving her body. "Don't worry Sam-chan! I'll get you!" Honey shouted trying to catch her soul.
"That was a little harsh boss." Kaoru told Tamaki watching Sam's soul fly around for a bit before it was finally caught.
(Next day)
"Quick, quick, slow. Quick, quick, slow. Good Sam, you're doing well. But you need to keep looking your dance partner not at your feet." Kaoru instructed, one hand on Sam's shoulder and the other on his hand. Sam's right hand was placed on Kaoru's waist. Sam quickly looked up fixing his mistake.
"Right. Got it." Sam said. "I think I got the hang of this now." Sam said moving a bit more graceful. 'This isn't so bad.' Sam thought. "Woah!" A cry escaped Sam's lips. 'Guess I jinxed it.' Sam thought getting embarrassed.
Kaoru let out a gasp as Sam misplaced a step and stumbled into Kaoru making him fall backwards. This left them in a very compromising position. "Oh I'm sorry. Are you alright?" Sam asked as he moved off of Kaoru and held out a hand to him.
"It's alright. And yeah, I'm fine thank you." Kaoru reassured as Sam helped him up. "I think that's enough practice for today." Sam nodded. "Yeah." Sam and Kaoru walked back to Hikaru and saw Tamaki moping on the windowsill.
"Why so gloomy boss?" The twins asked. "I bet it's because he wanted to be the one Haruhi practices with." Hikaru said as he and his brother looked at each other. "I think you may be right. But he's way too tall to stand in as a woman." Kaoru replied back. "Besides I don't think Haruhi would have wanted to practice with Tamaki anyway." Sam said to the twins.
That comment from Sam caused the 'king' to go into a deeper depression and the obvious trio snickered at that.
"Thank you so much for allowing me to practice with you. I really appreciate it." Haruhi thanked Kanako as she sat down at a table having tea. "Oh it's no problem." Kanako said to Haruhi. "I heard that you're not seeing any customers today so that you can practice dancing." She leaned forward and rested her chin on her hands. "I'm glad I got to spend this time alone with you." Kanako said.
"Uh." Haruhi mumbled.
"Oh my. This a new tea set, isn't it? It's Ginori." Kanako said holding up her cup. "Ginori?" Haruhi asked.
'What's that? Some kind of seaweed?' Sam thought confused before shaking his head.
"You have a keen eye, mademoiselle." Kyoya complimented. "In fact, we just received them yesterday. We decided that it was about time for the club to upgrade it's tea sets."
"I see..." Kanako said and let out a sad smile staring longingly into the cup. "What a pretty colour. Lovely." From his spot on the windowsill, Tamaki's eyes widened and his gaze sharply turned towards her, his head staying in place.
"You must really be into tableware, huh?" Haruhi innocently said. Kanako freaked out and quickly placed her teacup down. "N-Not really! I mean no of course I'm not! Whatever would give you that idea?" Kanako stammered, suddenly becoming nervous. She let out a nervous laugh.
'She obviously knows a lot about it. Why would she lie?' Haruhi thought.
"Hello? I'm here with the new teacups you ordered." A voice said as they entered the room. Sam turned in time to see a boy come into the room and trip over his feet carrying a couple of boxes that looked heavy.
"Woah!" The new boy shouted out. Sam saw everything move in slow-motion as he ran towards the kid. The boy fell into Sam's chest, who was holding two boxes in each hand. The boy quickly stood back up, getting off Sam. "I'm sorry about that." He apologized. "It's fine." Sam said.
As those two talked, the Host Club was confused. Wasn't Sam stood just next to the twins and how did he get over there so quickly?
"Thank you Sam. If you hadn't caught the new tea sets, it would've cost the club extra money to get another tea set." Kyoya said walking to Sam. "And thank you for the teacups. Every item that you've chosen for us have been extremely popular with the ladies. I'm quite impressed."
"Well that's good to hear." Suzushima said. "So do you sell tea sets?" Haruhi asked walking towards the three. "No I'm just a regular student. Can't you tell by the uniform?" Suzushima asked Haruhi.
"Oh Haruhi, you're so funny." Kanako said as she faked a laugh. "I can't blame you for not knowing. After all he doesn't really look like an heir to a first class company." She said, turning around to see them.
"First class company?" Haruhi and Sam asked. "His family's business 'The Suzushima Trading Company' deals primarily in the importing of tableware. They currently have the top market share in the country." Kyoya explained.
"Wow." Haruhi whispered.
"So whenever something exceptional comes in, we've asked them to send it our way." Kyoya said. Haruhi looked over at Kanako, who turned away from Suzushima. Sam could see that there was chemistry between the two, but what?
"He has a great eye for fine china. Don't you Suzushima?" Kyoya asked smirking. Suzushima seemed distracted. "You think? I've still got a lot to learn, but thank you." Suzushima said.
"Aren't you leaving next month to study abroad in England?" Kyoya asked. "Yes I am...Well, I better go now." Suzushima said sadly before leaving the room. Kanako seemed to look sadder as he left.
"So are you enjoying the Host Club?" Tamaki asked Kanako. "I get the feeling you and that guy are kinda close." Haruhi commented. "Yeah." Sam agreed.
"D-Don't be ridiculous! W-We hardly know each other," Kanako said nervously, starting to freak out as if trying to hide something. "W-What makes you both say that? Now if you'll excuse me, take care." She said running out, holding a handkerchief to her mouth.
"Sam do you need help with those? They look kinda heavy." Haruhi said to Sam. He looked at her and blinked. "No thanks, these aren't really heavy Haruhi." He said moving all four boxes to his right hand, stacked up neatly. "See." He said to Haruhi, showing her there was no problem.
Haruhi sweatdropped. 'How is he able to carry those? I mean Suzushima could barely hold them.' Haruhi thought.
"Sam-chan! Guess what? They do know each other! Suzushima is Kasugazaki's fiancé." Honey-Sempai said as he jumped onto Sam's back, giving him a heart attack and cause him to drop one of the boxes before managing to swiftly catch it on the tip of his left foot. "Honey-Sempai! Be careful! Don't jump on me like that." Sam said, scolding Honey. "Sorry Sam-chan." Honey apologized.
"Kyoya, how long have you known about this?" Tamaki asked. "About the two of them engaged?" he asked. "Well, as you know I conduct general searches on all of our customers. The two of them were childhood friends. It seems that their engagement was arranged by their parents. I didn't think the information would benefit us so I disregarded it." He closed his folder. "I see." Tamaki said.
"Tohru Suzushima, outstanding grades, fair social status. He's ordinary looking, but he's reliable. If I had to fault him for anything," Kyoya said. The twins came on either side of Kyoya. "He doesn't have much presence." Hikaru began,"And he's faint hearted." Kaoru finished. "In other words, he's boring," Kyoya finished, shutting the folder.
'I had no idea they were so merciless toward other guys.' Haruhi thought sweat-dropping.
"Suzushima is a good boy, right?" Honey asked. "Yeah." Mori confirmed.
"Alright everyone, we'll have to work on our strategy," Tamaki said, sounding serious. "Which one?" everyone asked. No one sounded interested. "Men, it is our responsibility; as members of the elite Ouran Host Club; to make every woman happy!" Tamaki declared.
(One week later)
"It's so good to see you here tonight, my little lambs." Tamaki greeted in the darkness. "The Ouran Host Club would like to bid you..." The lights flashed on one by one starting with Tamaki and revealed performing a bow. "Welcome." Violins started playing and the girls' applauds echoed around the ballroom.
"As always ladies," Kyoya started, raising his arms. "the Host Club members are here for your entertainment." Kyoya and Sam wearing black tuxedos, Tamaki decked out in a white one, Haruhi brown, The twins' orange/brown plaid vests with a white undershirt and green bow, Mori a dark blue, and Honey was wearing a white one like Tamaki. "So we invite you to dance to your heart's content," Kyoya said as the girls went silent with excitement. "Based on her dancing skills, one lucky lady will be chosen as tonight's queen. The queen's reward will be passionate kiss on the cheek from our king."
"Good luck to you...My darlings." He outstretched his hand and winked. The girls' squealed and some even fainted.
The twins' moved over to the brooding female and emotionless gender-swapper and stated, "C'mon, you two, show a little enthusiasm!"
"Well, excuse me you guys, sorry. I'm not used to this sort of thing," Haruhi said. "I've only gone to the festivals held in my neighborhood park." Sam glanced at the twins. "I don't know why I should be happy. This kind of thing only bores me. I just don't see the fun in this." He said wanting to be anywhere but here.
"I don't know if you can really consider that a party or not. Well, since you're already here, you might as well get yourself something to eat." Kyoya recommended to the commoners. "We've got quite a spread."
Haruhi and Sam perked up at the mention of food. "A spread?" Haruhi questioned quietly. "With fancy tuna?" She asked with a faint blush. "And maybe some Dorayaki?(1)" Sam asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.
"Fan-",
"-cy",
"Tuna?!"
"Dorayaki?!" The hosts shouted out the food names in surprise and horror.
Tamaki flipped off the upper balcony and landed next to the other hosts. "Get some fancy tuna and dorayaki here right now!" He demanded, pointing at Kyoya who was already dialing his cell phone. "Add some deluxe sushi aswell." Kyoya muttered into his phone.
"You poor dears, aww." The twins cooed as Hikaru hugged Sam and Kaoru hugged Haruhi, tears in their eyes. Both of the commoners faces were flushed red with embarrassment and anger. 'Damn these filthy rich jerks.' Haruhi thought.
Soon all the hosts were dancing with the ladies, even Sam, as much as he hated it he had to do it.
Haruhi was leaning on a pillar being a wallflower but waiting to see who will ask her to dance with them. Two girls were behind the pillar Haruhi was on, they tried asking her to dance but were too embarrased.
"Hello Haruhi." They quickly hid once they saw Kanako walk towards Haruhi. Haruhi smiled when she saw Kanako.
"I was looking all over for you. Do you think maybe I could have the next dance?" Kanako asked Haruhi. She was wearing a light blue dress, reaching her knees and a pale silver blue shawl around her waist and arms.
"Yeah, of course you can." Haruhi said holding out her hand for Kanako to take. The two girls had anime tears that they couldn't dance with Haruhi yet.
"Kasuga-chan is here." Honey annouced to Tamaki. "Alright men, let's us commence with our operation." He said to the senior hosts.
"Roger!" Both Honey and Mori saluted.
"Wah!" Haruhi cried in shock as she was kidnapped. Kanako's face was frozen in shock as she turned her head stuttering, "W-What? Kidnapped?" Tamaki merely hmmp'ed in triump.
Two doors slammed open and Honey hopped into the room while Mori had Haruhi slung over his shoulder trailing behind Honey.
"There she is!" Kaoru said as he saw them enter the changing rooms. Mori put Haruhi down gently. "You didn't have to be so forceful!" Haruhi complained to the boys. "Nevermind that, go get changed." Hikaru said shoving a bad into her hands. Honey pushed her into the changing room.
"A little accident towards the end of the night would be quite thrilling." Kyoya said to the hosts. He looked at his watch. "And remember Haruhi, there are only 20 minutes remaining before the party reaches it's climax." Kyoya reminded her. "Suzushima is already waiting for you in the classroom across the hall." Haruhi pulled the curtain open once she was done with the outfit and the twins started doing her make up.
"You have to ask him how he feels, okay?" Honey asks Haruhi a bit seriously.
"Um we know this is the boss's strategy but it's kind of unsettling." The twins stated.
"Gentlemen, here you all are! What are you doing? The guests are waiting for-!" He cut himself off as Haruhi stood and turned around. She had on a wig that looked like her old hairstyle and was wearing a light pink spaghetti strap dress that had a red rose on it. Tamaki was speechless as he stared at Haruhi, as light blush forming on his cheeks.
"So whaddya think?" The twins asked with huge grins feeling pleased with their work.
"Wow! You look so cute~!" Honey squealed, complimenting Haruhi.
"My face feels heavy and it's hard to walk in these shoes." Haruhi muttered, walking a bit funny into the hallway. The twins waved to her. "Good luck, Haruhi!"
"I can't believe. She's so pretty." Tamaki shyly said blushing. Kyoya noticed they were one person short. "Not to interupt, but where is Sam?" He asked pushing his glasses up. The others finally noticed that too. "Yeah where is she?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked, confused where their friend was.
Sam's POV:
As soon as I saw Haruhi get carried off, it was time for my own plan to commence. I finished up my last dance and quickly ran to a changing room, which luckily the hosts weren't using for their plan.
My plan was to dress like a girl for the rest of the party and have a bit of fun messing with the hosts. I went into one of the change rooms and found the stuff I had packed for the plan. I changed into my girl form and got changed.
A little later, I looked in the mirror and was satisfied with my work. I wore a blue strapless ball gown with four inched wedges and a brown wig that fell to my waist. I had applied light natural make up on and I have to say, I look gorgeous who knows, this plan might come out better then expected.
I used my superspeed to get to the ballroom faster. I fixed myself up a bit for any imperfections before turning 'round the corner and appearing at the top of the stairs where I could see everyone dancing. It wasn't long before all the girls saw me, even the hosts.
I gracefully walked down the stairs. Once I was at the bottom, Tamaki was immediately at my side. "Well hello beautiful maiden. I've not seen you before, would you care to dance with me?" He asked me, bowing with his hand out. This is too funny, he doesn't even know it's me, then again this is Tamaki we're talking about here.
"Thanks for the offer, kind sir. But I think I'll dance with someone else." I politely declined his offer. He froze in shock at the rejection, I giggled at how he looked.
I saw Hikaru in the mess of girls so I went to him for a dance first. He looked surprised when I asked him,
"Excuse me, could I perhaps have the next dance?" He smiled and held out his hand. "Of course you can, my dear." I grabbed his hand and he took me to the middle of the dance floor.
We faced each other as he put his hand on my waist, my left hand on his shoulder and both our free hands intertwined together.
'Let's hope Kaoru's dance lessons paid off 'cause I am not making a fool of myself.' I thought, hoping I don't mess up.
We started slowly swaying together in time with the music. 'Okay. Quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow... his eyes are quite pretty.'
I must have not noticed it before, but now I can see golden specks in his eyes. They were a nice shade of honey brown but the golden specks made them look more yellow. I stopped reciting the lesson in my head and just focused on Hikaru.
Being closer to him, I could see how sharp his eyes were, there was one or two small freckles decorating his nose. His chin was chisled and his jaw looked soft but strong at the same time. His lips were thin but also a little plump for anyone to kiss.
I felt him snake his arm around my waist and pull me closer to him, making me feel his toned body against my own. I knew I was blushing for one: my cheeks felt a bit warm, and two: he was smirking like he accomplished something.
"Have I met you before? You look like someone I know." He said. 'Crap! Quick think of something!'
"No sir, this is the first time I've met you. Maybe you're confusing me for someone else." I said to him, hoping he'd believe it.
"Maybe you're right." He replied back after a moment of thinking. 'Whew. He fell for it.'
"May I ask for your name? And where you got this beautiful dress from?" Hikaru asked. "Oh, I made this dress myself." I said blushing a bit. 'He said my dress was beautiful, does that mean he likes it?' I thought, a little nervous and anxious.
"No way! You made this dress all by yourself?" He asks quite shocked by my answer. "Umphm, oh and my name is Rin. But I'm not saying my last name though," I answered to his other question and then leaned close to his ear, "It's a secret." I whispered. I felt him shiver a bit from my breath hitting his ear.
"Oh really, well then my name's Hikaru." He answered back. I already know his name but he doesn't know that. We went back to the silent dancing as I stared into his eyes again. Is it me or does he seem to be getting closer? I felt myself leaning forward too. I started feeling a little quesy in my stomach but ignored it and kept moving closer.
My eyes started feeling heavy as we got closer. I now could feel his breath on my lips as we were a few millimeters apart from liplocking. That immediately got my mind back on track. So I pulled away just in time, I looked at his face and saw shock, surprise and disappointment? Huh?
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried to do that." I apologized, feeling ashamed and upset? Why am I feeling upset?
I saw Kaoru come towards us and grabbed Hikaru's shoulder. "Hikaru, it's time for the plan to start." He said to his brother reminding him. "Alright, I'm sorry my dear. I have to go." He said looking sad that he didn't want to leave me.
"It's alright we'll see each other again." I reassured him. "We will?" He questioned. "I know we will." I quickly pecked his check in goodbye before rushing off to change back into my male identity.
I quickly made it back in time to see Kanako and Suzushima in the middle of their final dance.
I heard Suzushima talking, it was faint but I was able to make out what he said. "I love you Kanako. I've always loved you. And I want you to be my wife." Kanako's face was filled with relief and happiness.
"May this awkard couple be forever blessed!" Tamaki said, stretching out his arms, causing Haruhi and I to duck.
"Can you not do that?" I asked annoyed, smacking his arm. Tamaki whimpered before I sighed. Haruhi nodded.
"And now we'll announce the queen of the ball." Hikaru declared, a banana peel in his hand as he gathered around me and Haruhi.
"Congratulations, Princess Kanako Kasugazaki!" Kaoru said, banana peel also in his hand. 'Why do those two have banana peels?' I questioned in my head. The guests cheered and I could see that Kanako was trying to hide her joy.
"And for her reward, a kiss on the cheek from the King!" Hikaru exclaimed into the microphones. 'Huh? Where'd that banana peel go?' I questioned again. Tamaki held up his fingers to his chin and said with a grin, (AN: Huh, that rhymes!)
"You ready?"
"Haruhi Fujioka will stand in for Tamaki!" Kaoru announced, his peel was also gone. I burst out laughing at Tamaki and Haruhi's reactions.
"Kyoya did say that a little accident towards the end of the night might make the evening more thrilling for everyone!" They replied with a smug look on their faces, this just causes me to laugh harder.
"There's no way I can kiss her." Haruhi said annoyed. "If you do it, we'll cut your debt by one third." Kyoya told her. I gave Haruhi a look of desperation. "Well it is just a peck on the cheek." She muttered. She walked down the stairs and towards the couple waiting at the bottom.
"Hey, you don't think this is Haru-chan's first kiss do you?" Honey-Sempai asked. I don't know whether if it was innocent or on purpose, but either way, the way Tamaki reacted was funny. "What?!" Tamaki gasped. The twins were holding him down.
Haruhi and Kanako met in the middle. Haruhi hesitantly graabed the sides of Kanako's face, she slowly leaned closer to her cheek. "Wait Haruhiii!" Tamaki shouted, running down the stairs only to slip on a banana peel. 'So that's where it went.' I thought.
Tamaki's hand landed on Haruhi's back shoving her forward causing her to kiss Kanako on the... LIPS! I heard Tamaki gasped in horror before face-planting into the ground. Haruhi and Kanako quickly separated, both having their hands on their mouths.
The girls squealed with hearts in their eyes. I laughed at the sulking Tamaki and looked at the twins. "Nice touch there, guys." I praised, giving them a thumbs up while they grinned in return. I noticed something on Hikaru's cheek.
"Hikaru, what's that on your cheek?" I asked pointing to his right cheek. Hikaru stiffened before chuckling nervously. "W-What do you mean? T-There's nothing there."
"Yes there is Hikaru and it looks like," I said while leaning closer to him. "Lipstick!" I shouted making sure the other hosts would hear, grinning madly. 'I know it's mine, but I am not passing up the chance to tease him about it.' I thought, laughing in my mind.
"W-what?! No it isn't!" He shouted, trying to deny it. "Don't lie to me, Hikaru. You and I both know it's lipstick!" I said back to him, loving this way too much. The hosts, who was listening to the argument, started ganging up on Hikaru asking him questions. I saw Haruhi smiling at the confused and flustered couple.
'It's our job as members of the Host club to make every girl happy.' I thought, smiling. 'Who knows, I might start to come liking the Host club. Only time will tell. I think I can live with that.
Haruhi: If word gets out that I'm really a girl. I won't be able to stay in the Host Club.
Tamaki: Don't you worry Haruhi. I will protect your secret no matter what.
Sam: We will protect your secret Haruhi. Don't trust this idiot.
Tamaki: Hey!
Haruhi: Next time, 'Beware the Physical Exam!'
Tamaki: The Ouran Host Club will be waiting for you!
Everyone: We'll see you then!
