It had been a whole week since I had that interesting interview with Ootori. Soccer was going well, I still had most of the host club wanting me in the club, but they had gotten use to me turning them down so they asked more and more often. A pain to be honest. The most normal thing that was occurring were the bus rides if you exclude the fact that I was pretending to be a boy. Today my mom was suppose to take us all out to the clothing store to see if anyone of us grew out of our clothes. This also means that I was in my preferred type of outfit. I was wearing a teal blouse, faded flare jeans, and the black slip-ons from before. My long, and flat hair pulled into a loose bun that was held together by a single pencil.

My family and I had just finished looking through my size when loud voices penetrated my thoughts.

"Ooo! Another commoner store!"

"Haruhi, why were you wearing that sweater when we met you? There are plenty of other outfits here."

"Sorry but I'm not rich, and these are really pricey for me."

"Really Haru-Chan? But this says it's only 3000 yen?"

I cringed at the thought of asking my parents for something that expensive. I usually get stuff from thrift stores. We really only come to stores like these to compare ourselves to the sizes. Then, like a wrecking ball, it hit me. People from school are here and I'm dressed like a girl. It's okay as long as they don't come on this isle, I'll be fine.

"Hey! Rosaku Tsuratsi, are you listening to me?" My mom asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I asked if you think I should pull the little girls out of their after school program."

All of sudden Hanino... forget it. Honey was running towards the isle shouting, "Tsu-Chan! Tsu-Chan!" Then he appeared a few feet away with Mori behind him. Following them came the twins, followed by Suoh, dragging a girl, and finally Ootori, strutting in behind them all. Very shadowy like. Once he saw me, I was screwed, he had already pushed his glasses up and was writing and scratching in his notebook. Looking them over, my eyes landed on the girl Suoh had drug in. It was Haruhi.

"So you're a girl." Both Haruhi and I stated at the same time. Behind her, the club was gawking at me, and Suoh seemed to have an expression of pure terror.

"Yeah…" I started as a subconsciously began rubbing the back of my neck. "But, can you guys keep it a secret? I wanna stay on the soccer team."

Looking at the club as a whole, you could see the devilish glints in their eyes, Haruhi being the one and only exception.

"Well Ms. Tsuratsi, it is possible but, as the saying goes, 'Nothing in life is free'." I looked to Ootori as he said this and continued, "However, it seems that you don't hold any assets, or sum of money that is appealing to us. Tamaki do you have any thoughts to which Rosaku here may repay us for tight lips?"

The ignition of realization, joy, and satisfied determination, lit in Suoh's eyes as he opened his mouth. "It's true that you don't have any assets, but you do have an ability to attract customers to our club. So, from now on, you are a host!" I blinked. Once. Twice… Three times. He was acting serious, was manipulating girls emotions a hobby or something? It didn't seem like it, but I couldn't read these rich people.

I lost my composure for a bit, but regained it as I countered, "I could just make sure that Fujioka's secret stays if mine does." As the boys of the Host club heard that statement, they all pailed, all except one who glasses glinted. Somehow.

"A lie can be squashed, but a rumor can't." People believe that Haruhi is a guy and will remain to do so. However as a girl on the soccer team it'll be very hard for the team to not check if a rumor goes around. Would you like to risk that?"

I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms, but talked nonchalantly. "Fine, if that's how it is then so be it."

"YAY!" And Suoh lost all seriousness and returned to being the flamboyant and over excited child. Wait, child? I looked at Suoh again, he had lost all sense of pragmatism as he yelled, "TSURATSI IS JOINING THE HOST CLUB! HARUHI WILL FINALLY HAVE A SISTER!" He turned his head sharply towards the twins, while mumbling, "She won't be hanging out with these shady twins anymore." Haruhi rolled her eyes at the scene as the twins retorted. My mother however, laughed all the while.

"Well, we need to get home. Maybe we'll see you guys later." My mom finally said, with a smile clear on her face. "Nice meeting you, bye!" We then left the premises my mom giving small chuckles every once in awhile. Never answering my inquiring of the act. The following day would be headache.
