The rose petals flew out of the room as their eyes adjusted to the bright lights that awaited beyond the door. As they gazed past all the girls rushing in they were greeted with a very large and pink room. There were several small tables set up along the outskirts and three larger tables with red loveseats surrounding them. A table closer to the door with a laptop and a notebook sitting on top of the wooden surface. The room smelt strongly of tea, pastries and a mix of florals.

There sat directly across from the door was a blond haired teen with purple eyes sat down in a single wooden chair with red upholstery. A tall, black haired boy stood directly behind him, a small smile mixed with a rather stoic expression on his face. To the seated boy's right was the twins the two had become used to seeing in their classes, each had a rather mischievous looking smile on their faces causing them to look rather cat-like. On the left then was a short blond haired boy, his eyes were large and the rich brown of chocolate. His smile was the largest of everyone that stood there, a child-like glee radiated off of him. A few inches to the short boy's left was the raven haired, glasses wearing teen Erin had initially been invited by. His brownish gray eyes seemed to be looking directly at her before the familiar glare coated the lenses of his glasses. The chorus of their welcome was still echoing past their ears.

As they took a few steps through the doors, the pair continued to take in their surroundings. Jasmine looked over at Erin.

"What the hell did you just drag us into?" She asked, confused. A look of slight amusement on her face as she could only imagine what was going on inside her sister's thoughts.

"I have no idea," Erin responded, bewildered. "This definitely isn't what I expected from him. I mean, the invite was girly but this is way more than I thought it was going to be."

Jasmine watched as the men all dispersed, the twins taking one of the larger tables, the tallest and shortest men taking another, leaving the purple eyed teen to take the largest setting. It was a matter of seconds before girls raced to sit with them. She blinked slowly at the sight and tried to listen to what was being said but couldn't make out anything over all the fangirling she was seeing.

Her attention was brought back to a clatter along one of the far walls, a door opening and closing as a golden tea cart came out. A familiar brown vest and messy brown hair cut was peeking out from behind the large stacks of desserts and plates.

"Is that Haruhi?" Jasmine's head cocked to one side, even more confused now.

Erin peered over at the girl who walked behind the cart, her eyes widening as she laid eyes on Haruhi. "It is, I thought she was supposed to be studying?"

"She was," a cool voice came from behind them. The sisters jumped and whirled around, looking up at the raven haired boy. "Until she had a rather unfortunate accident with a tea set. Now she is here, just like the two of you."

"Who the hell is this guy?" Jasmine asked, a scowl on her face. She crossed her arms. "What do you mean by accident?"

"Calm down," Erin hushed her, hoping she hadn't offended him. "He's my lab partner I was telling you about earlier, he invited me."

Jasmine looked him up and down. "I see what you mean then."

Kyoya raised an eyebrow at the two. "If you two are done, I'll introduce myself," after the two remained quiet he nodded to them. "My name is Kyoya Ohtori, I am the vice president of the Ouran Host Club. We would like to formally welcome you to the school."

Jasmine squinted at him, raising her hand pointing at him. Erin shoved her arm down before she could speak. "That's very kind of you, thank you," She said as she held Jasmine's arm in place. "This is my sister Jasmine, I mentioned her earlier."

Kyoya nodded, his eyes scanning both of them. "I hope you two will find yourselves comfortable while here in our club. I myself do not host but I invite you to go enjoy those that do. Haruhi will be out there serving tea and desserts throughout the afternoon. If you have any questions, I'm here to answer them."

Jasmine stood up straight, shaking Erin's hand off of her arm. "I will gladly go enjoy the company of one of them." She turned away from him and Erin and walked off towards where the twins were currently sitting. She felt bad for Erin if that's who she was stuck with all year long. "I'll be over here, Erin!" She called over her shoulder.

Erin waved back, nervous at being left alone. Without a science project in front of her to work on she felt less confident. "This is a beautiful room, it must have taken a lot of time to set up. You did all this after class?"

Kyoya looked down at her. "It's always set up this way. It used to be a music room but they had no use for it," he gestured to the lone piano in the far corner. "We have theme days that take much more preparation, I do hope you'll join us for one of those as well." He walked over to his laptop and sat down, glancing back over to her for a moment before beginning to type.

Hesitating for a moment, Erin wondered where to go. Jasmine had made her way over to the twins, but based off of what she'd seen during class they just seemed like trouble. She glanced over to the other tables, they didn't seem like the best options either. The blonde boy who sat at the crowded table was making wild gestures and speaking with overly flowery language, and the pair who sat at the other seemed quite like opposites. She stood still, almost paralyzed by the highly social group in front of her. Without Jasmine with her she really didn't know what to do.

The typing from next to her ceased, Kyoya looked up at her. He chuckled to himself and adjusted his glasses. "You can have a seat here, if you're having a hard time deciding." He gestured to a small table not too far from his own.

Erin's face flushed red, embarrassed. "It's not that I'm struggling to decide," She began as she slowly walked towards the table. "This is all very new, I'm not really the kind of person to leap into things like this. That's why I asked to bring Jasmine, but that didn't go so well."

"She seems to be doing just fine," Kyoya glanced over to where her sister sat by the twins, seeing them laughing. "Why come at all if it's something you're not interested in?" His eyes met hers again, a quizzical look shining within the stare he was maintaining.

She looked down at the table to avoid his gaze. "It would be rude to decline an invitation like that, you're going to be my lab partner all year so I didn't want to start off on the wrong foot," She mumbled, looking back up to him. "Besides, you didn't really say what it was when I asked you earlier, how would I have known if I didn't come?"

"If I'd told you then the chances of you not coming were fairly high. If you give it a chance, you might enjoy it," Kyoya remarked as he began typing again. "Our president works very hard to make sure every girl that comes in here feels special. I hope you know you won't be leaving until he sees a smile on your face."

"He sounds dedicated," Erin said with a half smile. "He hasn't even seen me, how would he even know I was here? He'd have to have a pretty good eye for faces if he recognized every girl the moment they walked in."

Kyoya chuckled. "You haven't met him yet then. He definitely noticed you when you entered the room." He looked over to where the boisterous blond was sitting and pointed. "Tamaki Suoh, he's really like a human golden retriever. He's sat with his two most frequent guests currently. He could tell you everything about their lives I'm sure as well as what makes them the happiest. He's very dedicated to making everyone smile. I wouldn't doubt him if I were you. I'm sure you'll have to deal with him before you leave."

"I'm sure the kind of girls that go here live more interesting lives than I do," Erin muttered, knowing she was only giving a half truth. Even though her life had been spent mostly cloistered in private schools she knew she still had to put on the act of being a commoner. "You make it sound like it's almost a bad thing, what do you mean by 'deal with him'?"

"He may be my best friend but he is definitely intolerable at times," Kyoya sighed. "He means well, he's just very obnoxious."

Filing his admission of friendship away in her head, Erin looked over her shoulder at the blonde across the room. "He seems like he's having fun at least. Looks like he's stuck you with most of the work."

"As I said, I do not do much hosting but since he is my best friend I figured I could help him make sure this whole thing didn't run itself into the ground," Kyoya smirked. "Does he really look like someone that could handle the serious aspects of a club?"

"Something tells me he's the reason why you showed up to class today with your experiment already done," Erin said, grinning. "He seems like a handful."

"He certainly is. Your sister seems like she might be as well," Kyoya clicked around on his computer and was silent for a few moments. "Teacher says she has a little bit of a problem controlling her mouth." Kyoya glanced at Erin with an eyebrow raised. "Hard to think you're that closely related."

Her eyes widened as he spoke. "How would you know that? You've barely even met her," She trailed off as she remembered their earlier conversation. It seemed like he had access to the school's database somehow. "Even though she's my sister it doesn't mean we're completely alike, do you have any siblings?"

"The first impression I got of her would go along with what the teacher stated," Kyoya chuckled quietly. "I have three siblings, if you must know, myself being the youngest."

"I'm sure your personalities are different then," She said, intrigued at the small admission about his personal life. "I'm the youngest too, Jasmine's older than me."

"Are you sure? You certainly act like the older sibling," Kyoya mused, looking up as the timer next to him went off. He watched around the room as the guests all moved about, noting the twins motioning for Jasmine to sit down again. The girl glanced over her shoulder towards Erin. "I think she's looking for you. Are there any other questions you have about the club or its members?"

Erin stood from her chair slowly. "Not right now, I think I'm about to find out more for myself when I go over there," She said as she took a step, looking back to Kyoya before she walked off. "I'm excited to get to know you more, lab partners or otherwise."

Walking over to the table where the twins sat, Erin's eyes caught a glance of a tea set sitting on one of the tables. A part of her was tempted to take a cup from it, but even though she was told they were for the guests it didn't feel right taking one. Maybe if one was offered to her later she'd take it.

"What have you been doing over here?" Erin asked quietly as she approached her sister. "Looks like you're getting comfortable."

Jasmine looked up at her sister, looking over her shoulder. "Sit, sit, sit!" She patted the seat next to her. "You've gotta see the way these girls react to this."

Erin made her way around the chair, sitting down to watch. Her eyes widened as she watched the scene play out, even though the twins were loud in class it was nothing compared to this.

The twins across from them acted out a long winded scene of forbidden lovers. Their hands caressing one another's faces and even fake tears coming out at one point. The low whispered voices were very moving to the girls around them. The two relaxed in their chairs as the girls continued gushing about their love. Once they calmed down, the two began another conversation.

"So he had this nightmare that made him bolt right up out of bed," the twin on the right started, a big grin on his face.

"Hikaru, don't tell them that story!" The twin on the left replied, mouth agape. He curled up as tears welled in his eyes. "I asked you not to tell anyone that. Why're you so mean to me?" A few tears dropped from his eyes as he turned away.

"I'm sorry, Kaoru," Hikaru sat up right, a look of concern on his face. He moved closer to his twin and grabbed his face gently turning it back up to his. "I didn't mean to upset you. But you were so adorable when it happened that I had to tell them. I'm sorry."

"I forgive you," Kaoru whispered back to him, a tiny blush on his cheeks.

Jasmine elbowed Erin in the ribs, a grin on her face as she was trying to hold back her laughter. "See? Isn't it great?" She whispered to her sister amidst all the screaming from the girls as they gushed some more.

"It's definitely something," Erin said, shrinking into her seat. "This seems a little personal to just be doing in front of all these girls, were they like this in class and I just missed it?"

Jasmine shook her head. "Of course not, I would've pointed it out then too."

The twins resumed their normal seating and looked over at the two sisters. Matching grins appearing on their faces.

"Oh, look, our new guest has brought a friend!" Hikaru cheered.

"Oh wow, now we have three commoners in our luxurious club room," Kaoru pointed out.

The girls all looked at Jasmine and Erin. Jasmine's eyes widened a little, almost forgetting their facade of being poor for a moment. Erin sat stock still in her seat, afraid to move.

"Welcome commoners!" The twins shouted in unison, throwing their hands into the air. "Kyoya-senpai mentioned we'd have some new visitors today."

Hikaru leaned in to peer over at them. "You both look better than the one that broke our tea set."

Kaoru laughed. "Let's hope they're more graceful too then!"

"Graceful?" Erin asked, sitting back up. "What do you mean?"

"He means he hopes you're not going to break any of our precious items," Hikaru drawled. He looked over to where Haruhi was wandering about with the cart. "That guy certainly is clumsy. The tea set was clearly set out and he just ran right into it."

"Broke right into tiny pieces," Kaoru continued, shaking his head sadly. "Eight million yen down the drain."

Jasmine coughed as she tried to swallow her tea she had been drinking. "Eight million for a tea set? Are you insane?"

"Calm down, we're at a fancy school so things are going to be expensive," Erin whispered to Jasmine, trying to get her to not lay the commoner facade on too thick. "That's definitely an expensive accident."

"The boss decided he's going to be an errand boy until it's all paid off," Kaoru added.

"Which is to take him forever," Hikaru finished, looking from Haruhi back to the sisters.

Jasmine glanced to Erin, curious if she was picking up on the fact that they were referring to Haruhi as a boy. The timer went off again behind them, the twins rose to their feet and did a large stretch before smiling at their guests.

"We hope to see all of you lovely ladies again tomorrow. It is time to say our goodbyes though," they said in unison.

Jasmine stood from her seat slowly, looking around the room. Everyone seemed to be heading out, one glance at the clock showed it was already going on five and they still needed to get all the way home and make dinner.

Erin motioned to her sister, knowing that missing their train would keep them from getting home for hours. "Come on, we should probably go. It's been a long day, I think I'm gonna need a while to rest after all of this."

Glancing over to Haruhi, Erin hesitated. "We're definitely going to have to talk to her about this whole thing tomorrow."

Jasmine nodded in agreement. She looked over her shoulder at the boys that were gathering in the center of the room, curiosity still heavy on her mind. Her thoughts were everywhere as they made their way home.

The next day the two sat anxiously through their classes, waiting for lunch. They could tell Haruhi was avoiding them more than usual, probably to not have to deal with questions about what happened yesterday. The trio ended up outside at the fountain again, Jasmine set her lunch bag down and stared over at Haruhi expectantly.

"Spill, what the hell happened yesterday with those host guys?" She asked bluntly.

"It's a long story really," Haruhi said, scratching the back of her head. "I saw the two of you at the host club yesterday, did they tell you anything?"

"Not much," Erin began cautiously. "They said you broke a tea set? How does that line up with them thinking you were a boy though?"

"Let me guess. You look like one to them and you didn't bother correcting them?" Jasmine asked unamused. "Why wouldn't you tell them that you're a girl? Maybe that would get you out of this strange situation."

"It didn't really matter, being addressed as a boy doesn't really bother me," Haruhi said as she looked down at her lunch. "They figured it out eventually, but I think everyone else is still in the dark."

Erin looked her up and down. "The boys uniform is definitely helping it stay that way."

"Why can't you be a girl if they know now?" Jasmine asked, confused. "You could wear this weird banana dress with us."

"I'm fine with it," Haruhi repeated, laughing at Jasmine's comment. "Tamaki is set on me becoming a host, I couldn't really do that if everyone knew I was a girl."

"Who is this guy? He just gets to decide all of this? Do you even want to be flirting with these girls?" Jasmine asked, bewildered and annoyed at the same time. She took a deep breath, attempting to calm down. "You should get a say in how you pay off your debt."

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine," Haruhi said with a smile. "Honestly I'm more worried about you guys, you're the only other people who know that I'm a girl, I'm sure the host club is going to be asking you about it at some point."

Erin thought for a moment, trying to take it all in. "I bet Kyoya is going to ask me about it when I see him in class. Are all those guys really like that all the time? What were they like when the club wasn't open?"

"Don't let him con you into anything, Erin," Jasmine grumbled, concerned for their own secret and irritated by their manipulation. "Just say no. We don't owe them anything just because we know she's a girl. I don't think we should go back there. I'd rather not know anything about them with what they're doing to Haruhi."

"I'm not going to get conned, I'm just trying not to upset my lab partner. If we don't get along and things go south in that class my scholarship could get yanked," Erin said pointedly. "You seemed like you were having a decent time yesterday, if Haruhi doesn't have a problem being in the club it should be fine."

Jasmine scowled. "That was before they were making her pretend to be a boy. What do you think they're gonna do to us to make sure we keep their damn secret?"

"The rest of them don't really seem like they'd be the blackmail type. I'll figure it out once I get to class, I've got it under control," Erin said, turning to Haruhi. "Are they really going to make you pay them back for that entire tea set?"

"Looks like it, I'm going to have to be requested a thousand times in order to pay it all off," Haruhi mumbled bashfully. "It's gonna take all year I bet."

Jasmine's eyes widened as she got a little smirk on her face. "I've got an idea!"

"Oh god," Erin groaned, when Jasmine got like this it never led to much good. "What have you come up with now?"

"We go in and request Haruhi daily! That's 2 guaranteed requests, she'll pay off her debt in no time!" Jasmine grinned. "We just have to figure out how to make that happen since we cannot afford the rate that Mr. Glasses will be charging. I was asking around about the prices of things and, yeesh, that man is charging a pretty penny for sure."

"You guys don't have to do that for me," Haruhi said as her eyes widened. "I'm sure you have more important things to spend your money on!"

Erin smiled. "We'll find a way to make it work, think of it as us paying you back for being kind to us when we first started."

"And helping you weasel out of these rich bastards' hands!" Jasmine cheered, throwing her hands up in the air. She looked over to Haruhi curiously. "Wait, are you interested in getting to know them more?"

Haruhi let out a nervous laugh. "I don't know if I'm going to have much of a choice, honestly. I might as well see it through, it'll be funny at the very least."

"From what I saw I think you're right," Erin said through a laugh. "I bet they're a pretty wild bunch."

"Well, I think we're going to find that out for ourselves too," Jasmine looked at Erin. "You can dig deeper in Mr. Glasses and I'll investigate the rest." She tapped her fingers together mischievously with another smirk on her lips.

"You've heard Kyoya's name enough times by now to actually use it, not use a silly nickname," Erin said with an eye roll. "See if the twins look suspicious of you during class, I'm sure they'll be up to something."

"We'll see who will come out on top of the shenanigan war!" Jasmine laughed. "I'm sure I can outsmart them somehow. I'll just have to do some more research on them."

The chiming of the bells in the clock tower brought their attention away from their conversation. Standing up from her seat, Erin stretched her arms up high. "Let me know what you find out, I'm sure I'll have something interesting to tell you before we head in."

Jasmine saluted her. "Aye, aye captain! Haruhi shall help me in my battle!" She locked arms with the girl next to her. "We will do our best!"

"How did I end up on both sides of this?" Haruhi wondered aloud, a slightly defeated tone in her voice.

"Hopefully before too long it won't be so complicated," Erin mused as she walked back towards their classroom. "Wish me luck on this next project, I'll actually have to work with him this time."

"I do wish you luck! Don't fall for any of his tricks! We don't owe them anything just because we know her secret!" Jasmine reminded her again, a serious look on her face. "You can worry about not upsetting him without taking away our freedom."

"I told you, I've got it under control," Erin said with a smirk. "I can handle myself."

Once she actually made it to the lab her confidence wasn't so ironclad. When she sat at the table Kyoya was already sitting across from her, the plates of bacteria taken out of the incubator.

"Thanks for getting those out," Erin said as she set her bag down and began getting her supplies out. "You didn't come to class with the project done already this time, did you?"

"No, I had other matters to tend to," Kyoya replied pointedly, his eyes too busy studying the bacteria in front of him to look up at her as she sat down.

Erin waited for a moment before she spoke, surprised at how short he was being with her. "Well, we've got our work cut out for us then, let's get started," She said as she began swabbing the colonies off of the plate and onto the glass slides that had been prepared for them.

Kyoya was silent as he worked alongside her, occasionally skipping a few steps ahead of her. He avoided any eye contact with her, looking from the project back to his notes repeatedly and a constant glare on his glasses shielding his eyes from her own.

"I was surprised to see Haruhi working with you at the host club yesterday," Erin said quietly as she rinsed the stain from her first slide, surprised at how quickly he was moving through the project. "I must have been hearing people wrong that day, I could have sworn I heard people addressing her incorrectly."

"Haruhi is being addressed as the enrollment papers state. I don't know why you're bringing this up to me right now, if you have questions then you should be asking Haruhi," Kyoya replied, picking up his notebook and ripping his note page out. "Have you finished your lab yet? I'm going to go turn my notes in."

"I think you know why I'm bringing it up," Erin replied, looking back down at her papers. "I've already talked to Haruhi about it, I know about your deal with her."

Kyoya walked off to turn in his notes, playing around with the directions he could go with her conversation as he walked there and back. He sat back down in his seat and rested his hands on the tabletop. "I don't think you need to be worried about our deal. Tamaki will have Haruhi trained and getting enough requests in no time. If you're curious in seeing the process then I suggest coming back to the music room and asking to be a guest. I'd be happy to help you start the process."

Erin took her last slide off of the microscope, trying to guess at his angle. "That's not really what I'm concerned about, I know Haruhi can handle it. You just seem like someone who would take care of loose ends in a situation like this."

"And what loose ends do you think I'm not taking care of?" He finally made eye contact, his tone and expression were both challenging her.

"You're looking at one," She replied with a shrug, slipping the glass slide back into its container. "My sister and I already met Haruhi before yesterday, and I think we've got a different understanding of the situation than your guests do."

"Are you going to spread that information around? You don't peg me as a gossiper," Kyoya adjusted his glasses.

"Maybe not," Erin said as she gathered her notes. "I'm not the only one who knows, though. I can't make any promises for my sister."

"She does seem like she may cause some problems," Kyoya noted, pulling out his personal notebook and writing some things down. "Is she planning on telling people about Haruhi? I know you all had orientation together so I assume that's where you all became such good friends."

"I think she's just worried about her, based off of what we saw yesterday it seems like a situation like that could get complicated fast," Erin mumbled, slightly bothered by his uninterested demeanor. "Holding a debt over someone's head like that seems unkind after all over just an accident."

"Accident or not, Haruhi broke something of high value. It is only fair that we ask to be paid back," Kyoya snapped his notebook closed and looked across the table at Erin. "I don't believe you got to meet Tamaki yesterday. You should come by today and meet him, maybe he'll change your mind about our unkindness."

Erin looked back down to her notes, her confidence shaken. Even though she knew it wasn't going to be easy to talk about, it didn't make it easier to get through. "Scholarship students can't afford to go to a host club multiple times a week, with everything you've managed to find out about us you should know that."

"I didn't ask you to pay. I invited you to come meet our president," Kyoya pointed out. "Based upon all my information I have, you may not have a ton of money but I do know you have time to spare."

"Since you're making Haruhi pay back that debt in full I didn't imagine we'd be getting free entry," Erin said as she stood, her notes in hand. "We can come this afternoon, maybe his perspective will help."

Kyoya raised an eyebrow at her. "We? I extended the invitation to you, not both of you. If you're going to sit here and tell me your sister is going to cause problems for us then I don't see why I would be expected to invite her as well. Something tells me she wouldn't be persuaded by Tamaki anyways."

"Persuaded?" Erin asked, her eyes narrowing. "Persuaded into doing what?"

"Not into doing anything. Showing you that we do mean well and Tamaki can explain better about Haruhi's situation since you dislike any answer I give you," Kyoya shook his head at her. "We can't force you to keep the secret. It would just end rather poorly for Haruhi if word got out but that wouldn't be our problem then."

Kyoya rose from his chair as the bell rang, packing the last few of his items into his bag. He glanced down at Erin and offered a little smirk. "I do hope you'll consider coming by later. 3:30 the doors will open," He said before strolling away from the table.

Erin waited until he was out of the room before angrily packing up her things. If this is what things were going to be like for the rest of the year she didn't know how she was going to stand it. Rising from the table, she made her way back down to 1-A to tell Jasmine about the little information she had gotten.

"What a prick," Jasmine said after she sat through Erin's initial retelling. She could see the anger in Erin's eyes despite her sister attempting to keep her calm demeanor. "What's the next move then?"

"I guess I've gotta go meet their president," Erin mumbled, frustration beginning to seep out of her voice. "He was pretty clear that he wanted it just to be me, I don't think he trusts you."

Haruhi perked up. "His solution is for you to meet Tamaki-senpai?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow. "I don't think he could convince anyone of anything outside of what he does with the girls at the host club."

Jasmine scowled. "To be fair he doesn't trust me because you mentioned me as being a potential loose end, you dork. Regardless of whatever this president dude has to say, Haruhi shouldn't be forced to pay back this debt. You need to figure out how we can get in there and become guests to help her."

"Why couldn't you be the one who had a class with him, I'm not as suited to this kind of stuff," Erin muttered. "With how the president was acting yesterday I'm not sure if I'll be able to have a normal conversation."

"We don't have to listen to Mr. Glasses. I can come along regardless," Jasmine pointed out. "There was a whole other table that we hadn't gotten to see. I can come to see what those two are up to and monitor how the whole Tamaki thing goes. Plus I can act as moral support for you!"

"You're going to need it, believe me," Haruhi said in a defeated tone. "He's a lot."

Erin tugged on her braids, exasperated. "Perfect," She groaned sarcastically. "What are we waiting for then, we should head over. We can't make Haruhi late."

Jasmine grinned. "You're not going to abide by your solo invitation? How exciting!" She giggled and quickly shoved all of her things into her bag.

"I don't think he cares if you're at the host club in general, it's just the meeting with Tamaki that he was concerned about," Erin said nervously. "I don't know what I'm going to do without you in front of him if he's anything like the twins."

"He seems to be another level of crazy to be fair," Jasmine noted. "Did you see how all these girls fawn over him? It's embarrassing honestly."

They joined the group of girls standing out in the hall, Haruhi waved bye to them and hurriedly headed inside afraid of being late. The girls were all giggling and waving to him, excited about the new host. The doors opened in a similar fashion to yesterday, the girls all squeaking with joy. Jasmine scowled and attempted to plug her ears.

Erin waved back, her heart dropping as soon as she turned away. Kyoya stood at the same table as he did the day before, a displeased look on his face.

"Erin, I'm glad to see I didn't block off an hour of Tamaki's time for nothing," Kyoya smirked before looking at the older sister. "And you brought Jasmine along."

Jasmine strode up to the table, a scowl still present on her face. "Chill out, Mr. Glasses. I'm here to request that table over there," she pointed to where the tall boy and the shorter blonde were seated in the distance.

Kyoya looked over to where she pointed and turned back to her with a raised eyebrow. "As a paying customer?"

She nodded confidently, ignoring the looks she was receiving from her sister. "How much?"

"475,000 yen for 45 minutes," He stated coolly, looking at the computer screen for a moment. "I'll do 495,000 for an hour, if you'd like."

Her brown eyes widened and she turned to Erin for a moment before looking back at the raven haired boy. "You really are a bunch of rich bastards," she grumbled. "Fine, one hour."

"495,000 yen to spend an hour with Mori-senpai and Honey-senpai. You do get one slice of cake included with your price as a courtesy of Honey. I hope you enjoy your time," Kyoya smiled at her, motioning her into the room.

"Thanks," Jasmine grumbled. She gave Erin a thumbs off and walked off to the far table to see what the remaining hosts had to offer.

Kyoya turned back to Erin. "One hour with Tamaki exclusively blocked off for you. His private table is over there," he pointed to a fairly secluded plush sofa. "I do hope you enjoy your time as well."

"Private?" Erin asked, her face beginning to turn red again. "You mean I'm going to be alone with him?"

"Yes, that is generally what the term private means. Is that a problem?" Kyoya looked at her curiously. "I can assure you he is our best host, you'll be in good hands whilst in his company."

"I know what private means," Erin mumbled, embarrassed. "I just wasn't expecting it."

"I spoke with him before the club started, he knows you're here to learn more about our club and get some peace of mind with Haruhi's situation. He knows not to be too over the top," Kyoya looked over to where Tamaki was walking around the sofa, awaiting her arrival. "Your time is ticking and the girls are all watching so I'd get to it." He sat back down at his table. "I'll be here if you need anything that I can assist with."

Erin nodded, not wanting to dig herself even further into the hole she was in. She felt the eyes of the other girls boring into her as she approached the table, jealousy burning bright on their faces. Nervously, she stepped around the sofa to meet the boy she'd heard so much about.
