*one week later *
"It is so good to see you here tonight, my little lambs; the Ouran host club would like to bid you welcome," said Tamaki as he made an eloquent bow.
The classical music had begun, and the chandelier light had been turned on. All the guests were female and gave Tamaki applause.
"As always ladies, the host club members are here for your entertainment, so we invite you to dance to your heart's content based on the dancing skills one lucky young lady will be chosen as tonight's Queen," a pause was made, "the queen's reward will be a passionate kiss on the cheek from our King,"
"Good luck to you, my darlings," said Tamaki, giving the crowd some much-needed fan service, a.k .a. a wink and a charming smile.
"Aaaahhhh!" The ladies went crazy and downed at the thought.
"Haruhi shows some enthusiasm," said the twins.
"Well, excuse me, guys, I'm not used to those sorts of things. I've only gone to the festivals in my neighbourhood park,"
"I don't know if you can compare a festival to a ball," said Kyoya, but his inner thoughts were much different. 'Besides, going to the festival with Haruhi is much more fun than this,'
"Though you're here, you could get something from the spread here," said Kyoya' though with what Tamaki has planned out, it may change, and she may not be able to try anything. I'll get someone to pack away some for Haruhi,'
'A spread' "with fancy tuna,"
Kyoya 's pencil broke.
"Fancy tuna," said the rest of the club. Everyone paled, and lightning struck in the background.
Tamaki flips from the upper floor.
"Get some fancy tuna here right now," said Tamaki, pointing at Kyoya.
Kyoya dials immediately. "and some deluxe sushi,"
Haruhi was red as the Twins rubbed up against her affectionately. They were saying something, but she had no idea what they were saying. All she was thinking was what fancy jerks except for Kyoya. He had never been this bad unless something happened to her.
****moments later*****
All the hosts were dancing with many of the ladies. Two girls decided to sneak up on Haruhi, which was a bad idea, as Haruhi had heard them before they were even beside her.
"Uh,"
They were interrupted before they could ask.
"Hello Haruhi,"
"Hm?"
"I've been looking all over for you. Do you think maybe I can have the next dance,"
"Yeah, of course you can," says Haruhi as she extends her hand.
**** Move POV over to the Mori, Honey and Tamaki***
"Kasuka-chan is here," said Honey.
"Alright then, let us commence with our operation,"
"Roger," said Mori and Honey.
They go and steal Haruhi away.
"What kidnapped,"
"Hm,"
**** In another room separated from the ball, the rest of the hosts, the Twins and Kyoya****
"You didn't have to be so forceful,"
"Never mind that go get changed,"
"Yeah,"
They push Haruhi behind the curtains. Haruhi is resigned to the treatment she is given.
"A little accident towards the end of the night wouldn't hurt but be careful no one is hurt or scared from it, and remember, Haruhi, there are only twenty minutes left before the party reaches its climax," Kyoya paused. He had already gone over the plan with Harihi before she was okay with losing her first kiss to a girl, and Kyoya wasn't jealous as it was her first and only kiss with a girl, "Suzushima is waiting for you in the classroom across the hall,"
"You have to ask him how he feels okay,"
"Uh, I know this is the boss's strategy, but this is kinda unsettling," said the Twins.
Tamaki barged in.
"Gentleman, here you are; what are you all doing? The guests are waiting for" Tamaki is starstruck by Haruhi.
"So what do you think,"
"Oh, you look so cute,"
"My face feels heavy, and it's hard to walk in these shoes,"
"Good luck, Haruhi,"
Kyoya was mentally making a list of things to ask Victor to grab after this, as this was the first time Haruhi was walking in heels.
"Look at her. She's so pretty,"
****in the Classroom with Suzushima***
Haruhi arrived at the classroom.
"You, the person who wrote this letter, you're different from what I imagined,"
"Letter," Haruhi spoke softly.
After Haruhi read it, she realized this was the Twin's work.
"Excuse me, have we met somewhere before,"
"Ah no, this the first time I've ever talked to you,"
"I'm sorry, I'm flattered by your letter, but I don't feel the same way you see another girl already has my heart,"
"Oh well, I didn't know that you already had a girlfriend,"
"Unfortunately, she's not my girlfriend. I think she's completely over me. In all honesty, she would be happier with someone more confident than me,"
*** Outside in the hallway***
"Where exactly are you taking me,"
"You know you're not the kind of girl that is good at manipulating others,"
"What do you mean by that,"
"I have you figured out, Konako. I know you switch from host to host to get his attention, and I've noticed that you always look the happiest looking into a teacup,"
Konako had a flashback to when she was little with Suzushima talking about teacups.
"It's pointless. It doesn't matter how hard I try, he never notices me, and now he's decided to study abroad without without even telling me,"
"That's why I decided I need to change. I want to see the world and hopefully become a better man. I know it's selfish, but I wonder if she'll wait for me,"
"You know you. That is pretty selfish of you, but maybe she would wait for you. You never know if you don't tell her how you feel; you have strong feelings for her. Why not go ahead and talk to her? I think once you decide to change, then you've already begun your transformation,"
The door opened, and Suzushima looked up over Haruhi's shoulder. Haruhi turns after seeing his facial expression change.
"Konako,"
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you two. I just..," she starts to cry,
She turns and runs back down the wall.
"Konako,"
Suzushima runs after she calls her name.
"Looks like we just made matters worse."
"But he did go running after her,"
"Hmph," 'It is our responsibility as the elite Ouran host club to make every girl happy,'
***cut the couple running into the courtyard***
Suzushima finally catches up to Konako and grabs her hand. She stops, and they look into each other's eyes. Suddenly, lights turn on, and they are under a spotlight surrounded by Cherry blossoms.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time to begin the final dance for this evening's festivities. The host club has chosen the last waltz of the night for this couple."
Suzushima turns to Konako and extends his hand.
"Princess Kasuga, may I have this dance,"
Konako cokes up at this. He looks at her, waiting for her reply. She smiles and slowly takes his hand.
"Yes,"
The music begins, and the last waltz begins.
"I love you, Konako. I've always loved you, and I want you to be my wife,"
Konako brightens at the realization that he still wants her.
"Tonight marks the end of my host hopping,"
"Ah, may this awkward couple be forever blessed,"
"And now we'll announce the Queen of the ball. Congratulations Princess Konako Kasugazaki,"
Applause rings out from the crowd.
Konako smiles at this.
"And for her reward, a kiss on the cheek from the King,"
"You ready,"
"Haruhi Fujioka will stand in for Tamaki,"
Xxx, you know what happens next, so I'll leave it to your memory what happens
***After the ball/party in the car***
"That was the end to an interesting night,"
"Well, it could have been worse,"
"Yea, that is true also here,"
Kyoya hands her something.
"Cream?"
"Yes, your feet must be sore from wearing heels well, only for a little while. They must have hurt,"
"Thank you, Kyoya,"
"Also, I had someone secretly pack up a takeaway bento for you as you must be hungry,"
"Fancy tuna,"
"Yes, and some others I thought you may like."
"Thank you, Kyoya, you think of everything,"
"Of course, you are important to me,"
Haruhi's face lit up a light pink in embarrassment. Then she looks at Kyoya. He looked slightly pale and maybe a little green.
"Are you okay,"
"Just a headache and maybe a little motion sick,"
"Here, lay down on my lap,"
Kyoya lays down and takes off his glasses.
"Thank you,"
Haruhi smiles.
