Haruhi glanced back at Mii, but kept going while confused about Hani and Mori's bond.
"Um, Haruhi? Aren't you going to wear a tropical outfit like the other boys?" One of the guests asked.
Mii walked around, making notes of what was going good.
"I'd like to see that." Another agreed.
"Oh, well, no, I-I just don't think it's appropriate to wear anything, but early Spring attire in early Spring, you know?" Haruhi replied nervously.
"But we have one ready for you, Haruhi," Tamaki grinned. "I think you'll like it. You and I are a pair for today."
"No thanks." Haruhi coldly declined.
"Wow Haruhi, you're really faithful to the different seasons, aren't you?" A girl grinned to Haruhi.
"You really think so?" Haruhi smiled to that. "You know, ladies. I think it's so cute when you dream like that."
"Excuse me. I hate to disturb, but I think it's time for the hosts to switch clients." A soft voice told Haruhi and her guests. This was a girl called Kanako.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Haruhi turned over to the new client. "You must be my next appointment, Miss...?"
"My name is Kanako, Kanako Kasugazaki," Kanako smiled. She then moved closer and tilted Haruhi's face up with her fingers. "You're even cuter than I expected. I've decided. From now on, you're going to be my new favorite host, Haruhi." She said, her voice soft.
"Hey, check this out, Tamaki~" Tatsumi smirked.
Tamaki looked over and looked shocked and offended. He hid it quickly and would until they finished the club for the time. Tatsumi smirked toward Tamaki.
Mii rolled her eyes at Tamaki's stupidity and then noticed a girl getting a bit to close to Kyoya and walked over, managing to be silent, even with her high-heeled shoes.
"Kyoya-kun, your outfit looks really good." the girl smiled, her eyes taking him in slowly.
"Oh, thank you." Kyoya politely replied.
"Uh-oh~" Tatsumi noticed that.
Mii snuck up behind the girl.
"I even notice Nanami isn't around today~" the girl giggled fluttering her eyelashes.
"Uh, I think you should respect her wishes and stay the distance." Kyoya suggested for the girl's own safety.
"Oh, come on, afraid you'll like it?" The girl giggled.
Mii tapped her shoulder lightly.
"You have some company." Kyoya told the girl.
The girl turned to face Mii and paled.
"I suggest you back off and be a bit more respectful to Kyoya-kun," Mii said warningly, then gave the fake polite smile. "We don't need to call security that way." she said.
Kyoya smiled toward Mii, though he hoped nothing too dangerous would happen. The girl put her hands up nervously. She then bowed to them both apologizing before running off.
Mii watched her go, her eyes icy. "Good decision." she muttered and then looked up at Kyoya, raising an eyebrow.
"Are you all right, my dear?" Kyoya smiled to Mii.
"Could you not have politely dismissed her?" Mii asked Kyoya.
"I tried, but she pursued, I was only thinking of our best interest." Kyoya replied.
Mii had taken that answer, but promised a punishment if he let a girl try to ignore the engagement. She sat primly on his lap as they typed on his laptop to plan the ball.
After the girls had left Tamaki sat in the corner, unhappily eating Ramen. Alice had made it as Tamaki had requested it nicely from her. Tatsumi smirked to Tamaki as she enjoyed giving him a hard time.
"I can't take this anymore." Tamaki muttered as he ate.
"Aw, poor Tammy~" Tatsumi cooed.
Tamaki looked to Tatsumi.
Hikaru looked over from where everyone else was. "Hey, Boss, why don't you stop eating that commoner's ramen and come over here to help us with the party planning?" He asked.
"Does it really bother you that Princess Kasuga has taken a liking to Haruhi?" Karou added.
"He shouldn't be surprised," Kyoya replied. "She's had the illness for a while now, hasn't she?"
Haruhi suddenly looked puzzled. "What illness?"
"She's got the Host Hopping Disease." Hikaru told Haruhi.
Mii nodded sagely. That was the only girl she hadn't minded with Kyoya as the girl switched Hosts often, but always kept it respectful.
"AKA never-the-same-boy-twice disease." Karou added with his twin.
"Usually, our customers choose a favorite host and see them regularly," Kyoya informed. "However, Princess Kanako tends to change her favorites on a regular basis."
"That's right, 'cuz before she chose you, she was with Tama-chan." Hani stated.
Mii nodded. "At least a week ago they were close." she added.
"Oh, so he's upset because I took her from him?" Haruhi asked.
"Yes~" Tatsumi teased Tamaki.
"Shut up! I couldn't care less. I'm running out of patience. Haruhi, it's time you started dressing like a girl!" Tamaki yelled. "I don't understand how you could be so popular with the ladies, when you yourself are a lady. No one in the entire school knows the truth except for those of us here."
Hikaru nodded. "Yeah, she opted out of taking gym classes." He nodded.
Mii continued to type out on the laptop with Kyoya. Kyoya smiled to Mii as they bonded.
"And the attendance numbers are all mixed together so no one can tell." Karou added with Hikaru.
"That's enough, Haruhi. Now you listen to Daddy," Tamaki stated, then looked through his treasure box. "Daddy wants you to go back to the way you were." he stated before showing the large portrait of her he had made from her photo.
Mii gave a small polite smile back, and though her eyes were currently cold colored, they shone warmly to him.
"Don't go blowing up my photos without asking me first." Haruhi warned.
Kyoya smiled down to Mii as they worked at the laptop together.
"The more I look at this picture, the more amazed I am. How could this possibly become that?" Hikaru wondered how the obviously a girl Haruhi came to look like a scruffy boy.
"Quite simple I assume." Mii stated, her tone cool.
"The day before school started, one of the kids in my neighborhood got some gum in my hair," Haruhi sighed in memory. "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 look like a dude, you know."
"Ooh..." Tatsumi replied as now she knew about that.
"Oh, yes, of course, my dear." Kyoya nodded.
"Girls should never refer to themselves as a dude!" Tamaki shouted then sunk to his knees crying into his handkerchief. "Momma, Haruhi's using those dirty boy words again." He sobbed.
Mii sighed and shook her head. She started to get off Kyoya's lap to give Tamaki what for.
Hani gulped and hid behind Takashi. "Tatsu-chan, back away from Tama-chan." he whispered loudly.
"I'm sorry, but who is 'momma'?" Karou asked Tamaki.
Tatsumi then acted quickly and scampered off to avoid serious trouble.
"Based on club position, I assume it's me." Kyoya said to Karou.
Hani pulled his cousin to behind her brother with him. Tamaki didn't notice Mii until it was too late.
Mii grabbed him by the front of his jacket then did a quick flip him over, but in a way that would only knock the breath out of him, not hurt him in a way to cause injury. "Shut up, you whining baby!" She scolded him, showing she was apparently the female child progidy in the Haninozuka family.
Tatsumi cupped her mouth toward Mii's violence against Tamaki. Haruhi's eyes widened in shock to that as she wasn't sure how to react. Tamaki lay there stunned but by how he lay he obviously wasn't hurt.
Mii dusted her hands off. "I don't see what you're crying about. Working as a host, she can pay back more of her debt. It'll never happen if she's just an errand boy." She told the stunned Tamaki coldly. She then walked over to Kyoya, rubbing her forehead.
"Are you all right, my dear Mii?" Kyoya comforted even if it was Tamaki who had been 'injured'.
"My head aches from his crying..." Mii muttered, with a slight whimper as her eyes closed.
"Oh, my poor dear~" Kyoya soothed as he put his arm around her. "I shall cater to your every whim until you feel much better."
Mii leaned close to Kyoya and moved her arms around his waist. "That sounds wonderful~" she whispered. She then couldn't resist patting him on the backside.
"Name it and it shall be yours~" Kyoya smirked to Mii.
Mii opened her stormy grey eyes though flecks of brown could now be seen. She went up on her tiptoes and whispered something in his ear. Something that normally wouldn't be okay, but as they were to be married anyway, it wouldn't matter.
Kyoya blushed slightly, but he then looked back at the offer. "You are certain, my dear?"
"It has been scientifically proven to be a better way of relieving a headache... And the price is yours anyway." Mii whispered.
"I'd hate to argue with that, mostly because I cannot~" Kyoya smirked eagerly.
Mii looked to Kyoya, then to the club. "We'll be going ahead, Hani-kun, I'll call home if I'm going to be late." she told them, the last bit aimed at her brother.
Kyoya smirked as he walked along with Mii. Hani waved, curious as to what Mii meant. Mii waved back before walking off with Kyoya. Kyoya waved as well while going off with Mii. Hani shrugged and returned to watching the funny fight between Tamaki and Tatsumi.
Tamaki blinked, trying to get his breath back.
"Hate to change the subject, but do you have formal dancing experience? You'll need it at the party." Hikaru asked and informed Haruhi.
"Uh... No..." Haruhi replied. "But the party doesn't have anything to do with my quota, right? I'm not interested in going to events, so if I could be excused-"
Tamaki then gained an idea. "Definitely not," He told Haruhi. "A refined gentleman 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 willing to go, Haruhi. I order you to master dancing the waltz in one week and you will demonstrate it for us at the party. Or I'll tell the entire school that you're a girl and knock you back down to an errand boy." he stated loudly.
Haruhi blinked and soon seemed loose in the whim around her true weakness. Tamaki smirked, thinking he had won.
"Why are you such a pain in my class?" Tatsumi glanced to Tamaki.
Tamaki looked to Tatsumi. "I'm not a pain~" he complained.
"You've been a thorn in my side since we met." Tatsumi replied.
"Well... Well... You've been one in my side too!" Tamaki retorted.
"Oh, yeah?" Tatsumi smirked.
"Yeah!" Tamaki exclaimed.
"Prove it." Tatsumi teased just to annoy him.
Tamaki flondered about a moment, trying to think of how to prove it.
"Let's leave them to it." Hikaru muttered to his twin.
Tatsumi stuck her tongue out to Tamaki.
"Agreed." Karou nodded to his twin.
Tamaki glared. "W-W-What if I banned you from the club?" He bluffed.
Hikaru knew Tamaki wouldn't really do that so left with Kaoru. Hani gasped.
"You would do that, huh?" Tatsumi smirked. "Well, I bet you wouldn't."
Tamaki frowned at her. He crossed his arms, trying to look serious.
"If you want me to go, then I'll go." Tatsumi told Tamaki.
Tamaki tried to stay firm, he hoped though she would apologize first then he could and it would all blow over.
"You love me right, Tamaki?" Tatsumi cooed in a friendly sense, not a romantic sense of love.
Tamaki looked totally shocked to that and actually blushed. Tatsumi giggled in victory as she felt like she had won that argument. Tamaki ran off, covering his deep blush.
"Tatsu-chan, lets go home!" Hani called.
"Sore loser." Tatsumi smirked before going off to Hani so they could all go home.
Hani looked up at Tatsumi. "I think you upset, Tama-chan." he told his younger cousin.
"Oh, he'll be fine." Tatsumi shrugged.
Hani shook his head. "I think you should apologize anyway, 'kay?" He suggested.
"All right, next time I see him, I'll apologize." Tatsumi nodded.
Hani smiled and hugged her. "By the way, do you know what Mii meant when she said she'd call if she'll be late?" He asked.
"Mm... I'm afraid I do not." Tatsumi replied.
"Oh, okay." Hani said.
Tatsumi soon left with the others.
Mii reclined in the limo she was in with Kyoya a hand on her forehead to try and ease the headache.
"I'm so thankful I have you." Kyoya told Mii with tender loving care.
Mii looked up at Kyoya, her head on his lap. "I'm the thankful one, darling, I love you." she said softly.
"I love you more than words can say." Kyoya replied.
Mii actually blushed to that. Kyoya smiled own to Mii. Mii took his cooler hand and placed it on her forehead after pressing a kiss to his palm. Kyoya chuckled as he felt warmer and more comfortable by Mii.
"Fujioka-kun, do you want to walk home together, I am your neighbor." Alice whispered to Haruhi.
"Only if you would like," Haruhi smiled to Alice. "I'd like the company."
Alice smiled. "We'll have to wait 'til i can lock up and give the chairman the keys, but then we can go." she told her.
"All right, that's fine by me." Haruhi accepted.
Alice nodded. Haruhi smiled as she was going to go with Alice.
Alice locked up after everyone left then smiled to Haruhi. "Would you like to join me for dinner, and we'll make enough to share with your father?" She suggested.
"Oh, that sounds nice... Um... Just so you know, my father is a little different..." Haruhi warned since Alice and her father didn't properly meet in person despite being neighbors by now.
Alice smiled softly, after returning the keys to the chairman. "Sweetheart, our walls aren't very thick, I've heard you and your dad and anyway, I'm different too." she chuckled.
"Oh, you have?" Haruhi smiled sheepishly. "Sorry about that."
Alice chuckled. "It's quite alright, dear." she assured.
Haruhi smiled to Alice. Alice smiled back and walked to their apartment complex. Haruhi smiled to Alice's company.
