Awkward silence filled the changing room as the two brown haired siblings stared at the young man near the doorway--all three of them having a look of dread on their faces.

To say the least, Kasanoda was somewhat embarrassed but also shocked once viewing Haruhi and Y/n without the top of their school uniforms, but he was even more stupefied by the white undergarment for Haruhi's chest since he initially thought she was a boy.

"Uh. My bad." He muttered as his voice slightly trembled.

In a blink of an eye, he removed himself from the changing room and slammed the door closed, leaning his back against it as he attempted to control his breathing pattern with his eyelids covering his orbs, making him not realize a pair of auburn haired twins standing in front of him with a glowing glare.

"Peeping Tom!" Hikaru and Kaoru bellowed, causing Kasanoda to quiver in apprehension and let out a long, horror-struck scream.

Hikaru lowered his tone as he stared at the red haired first year student. "You saw-"

"-didn't you, Bossa Nova?" Kaoru finished in a low, accusing tone.

"No!" Kasanoda shook his head frantically in denial. "I didn't see! I mean, I caught a glance, yeah, but it was all so fast that I didn't- It was just an accident! I swear to you that I am not a pervert!" He stumbled over his words and placed a hand over his eyes as he leaned his head back against the door.

To say that Tamaki was livid is an understatement--he was extremely pale and had a strong look of shock and a source of distress as he positioned himself between Mori and Kyoya.

Honey quickly appeared in front of Kasanoda, making the red haired male's body tremble twice as much as before. The short third year's eyes were sharp and serious, not like his usual high-spirited aura. "Of course you would say that. Sure sign of a guilty conscience."

Kasanoda's body, more so his legs, shook in obvious trepidation, his shoes clacking increased in speed as his legs bounced up and down at an inhuman pace. He vaguely settled down and looked up at the male members of the Host Club. "So then Haruhi Fujioka's a girl?"

The twins glanced at one another, sharing a knowing look. "Red alert." Kaoru hinted. "He's on to Haruhi's little secret."

"That's not good." Hikaru enunciated, him and his brother directing their gaze back to Kasanoda with their hands behind their back. "So let's hear it."

"How much of her maidenly terra incognita, along with Y/n's maidenly appearance did you actually see?" Kaoru inquired.

"Well they were changing so I saw their underwear."

"You saw Haruhi and Y/n's underwear?!" The twins exclaimed, their glowing glare materializing in their eyes once again at Kasanoda's timid response.

"So what do we do?" Kaoru asked loudly.

"There's only one thing to do: we have to induce amnesia." Hikaru resolved with narrowed eyes as Kaoru moved behind Kasanoda to hold him in place. Hikaru seized hold of a wooden bat. "Hold him."

"That's enough, you two." Kyoya intruded coolly with his hand held out. "Leave assault and battery to the professionals."

"What are you, made of ice? How can you be so calm about this?" Kaoru questioned harshly.

"Look!" Hikaru pointed the bat that was in his hand towards Tamaki who was on the floor leaning against a pillar, looking as if his soul left his body. "The boss is so deep in shock he's regressing."

"Well, now that it appears the proverbial cat is out of the bag." Kyoya adjusted his glasses, showing his stern brownish-grey eyes. "Let's talk."

Kasanoda looked at Kyoya and listened intensely as he continued to speak. "Haruhi is compelled to hide the fact that she's a girl due to certain mitigating circumstances that her sister is included in. While we can't physically force you to cooperate exactly, there is something I would like for you to bear in mind. Coming from the sort of family you do, I'm certain you hear all sorts of juicy little rumors. Enough to know what is true and what is not. Take the Ootori family's private police force, the Black Onion Squad. It is said that they can be mobilized against our enemies in the blink of an eye." Kyoya showed a false, closed eyed smile. "You have heard of them, right?"

Kasanoda sweat dropped due to Kyoya's threat and terrorizing aura.

The door to the changing room opened, revealing the two clothed Fujioka sisters. "Come on guys. Stop scaring Casanova." Haruhi told them earnestly before looking at the red haired male. "Sorry about all this."

"Hey Fujioka's." Kasanoda greeted nervously.

Y/n scratched her arm as the blush on her cheeks slowly vanished. "We just want to tell you that it's okay."

Haruhi nodded her head and proceeded on with her reassuring words. "Doesn't really matter to me. You can tell whoever you want to."

A shade of light red assembled on Kasanoda's cheeks as he stared down at Haruhi.

"Well, well, Bossa Nova." Hikaru began with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Since you know Haruhi's a girl, are you in love?" Kaoru challenged, pronouncing the last word noticeably.

Tamaki snapped out of his dumbstruck state, his teeth gritting together as his eyes narrowed into a shape glare before releasing a overdramatized shriek.

It was another sunny day at Ouran Academy--specifically the next day--as the Host Club was open for business in music room three. The room was absorbed in delicate laughter and conversation until the territory sounded with small gasps and whispers due to the unexpected individual who just arrived.

"It's Kasanoda, from class D."

"I heard he made himself Mori's apprentice."

"I wonder if that means he's in training to be a host, too."

Kasanoda ignored all the murmurs that were coming from the female high school students and sat down on an empty couch. He then turned his head to the right and spoke. "I'd like to request Haruhi Fujioka."

All the girls in the room jumped up from their chairs and squealed in disbelief.

"What is this?"

"Is he for real?"

Suddenly, the familiar sound of a powerful motor resonated throughout the music room as a section of the floor lifted up into a pedestal with a girl on top of it, who has dark blond hair and a magenta-pink bow attached to her head as she cackled.

"The genuine article. At long last!" Renge announced with a flash of satisfaction in her dark brown eyes.

Two girls rushed to stand in front of Renge who remained on the platform.

"Renge, is it true? Is he really...?" The female with shoulder length, light brown hair urged.

The young lady with dark raven hair followed the first girl's actions. "Could he really be that kind of persuasion?"

Over the unimportant commotion, Haruhi approached Kasanoda with a tray that carried teacups and a teapot. "Welcome, Casanova." She greeted and set the tray down onto the coffee table in front of the couch, soon situating herself beside him. "So you're our guest today, huh?"

"Uh, that's right." He stumbled over his confirmation.

"Would you like to have some tea?" Haruhi offered, preparing the two teacups. "How much sugar do you normally put in?"

"Here, uh, let me help." Kasanoda insisted.

"Now, now. You're our guest. It's okay." She airily chuckled and poured some tea into the teacup.

Kasanoda glanced down at the teacup attentively, faintly sweat dropping.

"So tell me, is this your first time in a place like this?"

Kasanoda's heart almost emerged out of his chest as Haruhi gained his attention, sitting much closer to him than before.

The young woman laughed at his reaction and positioned herself to give the red haired male his personal space. "Haha. Gotcha."

Kasanoda's legs began to tremble under the coffee table. "You sure have this down, huh?"

"Well trust me, it didn't come naturally at all; at least not at first." She explained kindheartedly. "But then I realized if I just sat back and had fun with it, everything sort of fell into place on its own."

"Hey, don't just stand there, Kyoya-Senpai. Get him out of here." Kaoru complained, watching Haruhi and Kasanoda from the distance with Hikaru, Y/n, and Kyoya. "Y/n, do something."

"If he's getting along with his goons so well now, why does he need to be here in the first place?" Hikaru hissed in an annoyed tone.

"You guys need to relax and stop whining." Y/n crossed her arms over her chest and moderately narrowed her eyebrows.

"He has kept Haruhi's secret and has avoided speaking about viewing Y/n when she was indecent so far and, since he is after all a paying guest, I can see no reason to eject him." Kyoya pointed out with his back facing the twins as he scribbled words down onto his notebook.

"But the other guests are afraid!" Hikaru and Kaoru argued.

"Oh, no I think not." Kyoya began, referring to a group of girls who were quietly awing at Haruhi and Kasanoda. "Observe."

"The look on his face is just priceless." One of the girls commented with an adoring blush evident on her cheeks.

"I've never seen someone so in love before!"

Even Renge was awestruck as she stared at Haruhi and Kasanoda through her opera binoculars. She grabbed her flip phone and started to dial a number that would contact one of her friends. "Hello, Sumire? Forget about your stupid violin lesson and hightail it to the Host Club! I'm telling you, this is a one-in-million chance to witness something truly amazing!"

Many of the other guests reciprocated Renge's activity and reached out to their friends by using their cellphones, telling their friends to come to music room three to eyewitness Haruhi and Kasanoda.

"See? We're just fine. Thanks to him we may even set a new record." Kyoya claimed, utilizing his pen to write in his journal.

"You money-grubbing enabler!" The twins cursed through gritted teeth, clenching their hands into tight fists.

"Can I pour you another cup of tea?" Haruhi smiled tenderly at the red haired male.

"Uh, yes. Thank you." He accepted the young woman's offer nervously with a faint blush scattered across his cheeks.

"Oh no, she's giving him the adorable smile." Hikaru indicated in minimal panic.

"The one which no man can resist!" Kaoru further stated, his voice raising in pitch.

Honey casually presented himself and joined into the conversation with his traditional joyous demeanor. "Wow. Usually you guys wouldn't waste any time interrupting the two of them."

"Yeah but our hands are tied." Hikaru said, turning his head to the right so he could gaze at his short upperclassman. "After our screw-up in Karuizawa, Haruhi would never forgive us if we butted in."

"And because I won't let them." Y/n added, standing next to Honey.

Kaoru directed his amber colored eyes to his twin brother, addressing his reason. "Karuizawa was really your screw-up, Hikaru."

"That is true." Y/n nodded in agreement.

Hikaru sent a small glare at Kaoru and Y/n before turning his attention to the president of the Host Club, who was sitting on the floor with his back leaning against the side of the pillar that the Hitachiin twins were hiding behind, his mind being absent from the current conditions that were taking place.

"Hey boss, are you done being shell-shocked yet?" Hikaru examined.

"Yeah, we could really use our king right about now." Kaoru acknowledged.

The twins snatched Tamaki off the floor and forcefully tossed him towards Haruhi and Kasanoda like he didn't weigh a pound. "Go get 'em!"

A very faint and extended 'ah' left the blond haired male's lips as he was thrown into the air. Surprisingly, Tamaki landed on his feet and stood up straight. He began to walk towards Haruhi and Kasanoda like a metal robot.

"Are you guys serious? He's not okay to be going over there. Look at him for crying out loud! He's acting like a damn robot!" Y/n justified as she directed her hand to the blond haired second year.

"Tamaki-Senpai?" Haruhi called the boy's name as he stiffly approached them.

The blond haired male positioned himself between the two first years and was about to sit down on the couch.

"Um, just what exactly are you doing?" Haruhi quizzed and moved Tamaki to her right before he could sit down in between her and Kasanoda. "Hey, if you want to sit down, do it over there. You can play with this if you need a distraction." She laid a little packet on his open hands, his palms facing the ceiling. "It's a little freebie I got at the supermarket when Y/n and I bought the instant coffee earlier."

The little packet held two, miniature metal sticks that had circles on the ends of it. Both of the circles were connected and the goal was to disconnect them--it was like a finger puzzle mind game.

It only took a minute for Tamaki to detach the two pieces from each other. A satisfied 'ah' left his mouth and a blush appeared on his cheeks. He turned himself towards Haruhi, his movements were inelastic.

"Look I've solved it, Haruhi." He notified, his voice sounding like it was being generated by a computer system as he displayed the separated items.

"Wow, that was fast." Haruhi smiled in slight amazement, her index finger pointed upwards. "Okay, now try to see if you can put them back together."

"Ma." Tamaki let out and went back to working on the two circles, attempting to fasten them back together.

"That moron." The twins grumbled.

"I told you so." Y/n muttered in a matter-of-fact tone, placing her hands on her hips.

Hikaru took out his blue cellphone from his blazer and dials a certain blond haired male's number. Not even a second later, they heard a phone go off, indicating that someone was receiving a call.

Tamaki pulled his white flip phone out of his blazers pocket and answered the upcoming phone conversation. "Ma?"

"Earth to Boss!" Hikaru snapped irritability. "Will you snap out of it already? The longer you sit there like an idiot playing 'robot' the worse the situation becomes for all of us!"

"Ma."

"Now, listen to me carefully." Hikaru began firmly. "You can't let this happen. If she and that two-bit thug hit it off she's going to spend her life as a mob-wife!"

Tamaki finally pulled himself together and crushed his cellphone in his hand as his legs started to shake under the table. "What? No way...!"
