A Tale of Business and Romance. Chapter 5

"Do something, Tamaki," she insisted tearfully, "Haruhi just assaulted me." Kagome would have interrupted and corrected the scheming girl, but Tamaki beat him to it. He brushed the wet hair out of her face and spoke in a firm, serious tone. "I am disappointed in you. You were the one who threw his bag in the pond, weren't you?"

"How can you say that?" Ayanokoji protested loudly, "Do you have proof that I did?" Tamaki paid no mind and softly lifted her face with his right hand.

"You know, you are a beautiful girl, but you are not classy enough to be our guest, dear. I will have to ask you to leave." Everyone watched Tamaki intently because it was rare to see him acting so seriously. "If I know one thing, Haruhi is not that kind of man."

Ayanokoji had tears dwelling in her eyes as she instantly ran out of the room crying, "Tamaki, you idiot!" Kagome started laughing at the girl, but his happiness was short lived. Due to this latest debacle, Tamaki increased their quota to 1000 guests each!

Kyoya entered the scene with a reddish pink bag and offered it to Haruhi. "This is the only spare uniform we have. Sorry, but it is still better than a wet one, right?"

"Thank you very much, you guys. I am going to go change." Haruhi said to everyone before leaving. Kagome sighed deeply as she began to walk away from the changing room only to notice out of the corner of his eye that Tamaki had just closed the curtain where Haruhi had been undressing in shock. He had just discovered Haruhi was a girl. Of course, both Kyoya and Kagome knew right from the start while Tamaki had had been the person to discover it last.

"Haruhi?" Tamaki asked stiffly.

"Hai?" she answered from behind the closed curtain.

"You're a girl?"

"Biologically speaking, yeah." Haruhi opened the curtain wearing the female uniform. Tamaki started having a mental malfunction as he tried to process this new information.

"Listen, Senpai," Haruhi began, "it doesn't really matter to me that you guys recognize me as a boy or a girl. In my opinion, it is more important for someone to be recognized for who they are not for their sex."

"This is an interesting development," commented Kyoya.

"It sure is," the twins chorused together. Mori and Honey stood side by side watching from the scene with the twins.

"Still you were pretty cool back there, Senpai," Haruhi commented. Kagome sighed deeply as Tamaki backed up from the girl as if she was infectious with his face turned completely red.

"Well, you guys since this are involved in this interesting development, I'll get going," Kagome stated as she headed for the door, "Sesshomaru is picking me up soon so I will—" As she opened the door, a bucket of forest green paint fell on top of his head and spilled all over his uniform. At once, the twins started laughing loudly.

"I told you it would work!" Kaoru exclaimed.

"You did, you did!" Hikaru nodded in agreement while the two continued laughing. Kagome stiffly turned around eyes glaring at them promising revenge. The twins saw the look of murder in his eyes and immediately shut up and gulped.

"So, this was your stupid idea, Kaoru. Poor, poor thing, I thought better of you and now you might just have to die," Kagome said darkly at the twins. The darkness that surrounded his voice caused everyone in the host club to shiver slightly. They all made a quick mental note not to piss him off any time soon; he was just as bad as Honey-Senpai when his naps were disturbed.

Kyoya quickly stepped in before Kagome could start chasing the twins around the room. He didn't want the room left in pieces once Kagome was done exacting his revenge. Kagome really wished she had the beads of subjugation so she could sit the crap out of the twins, but she didn't know how to make them. Her fists would have to suffice until she learned.

Kyoya pushed his glasses onto his face as he handed him a purple bag. "I am afraid this is your last resort for something to wear. It is a left over costume, but I doubt you want to leave looking like that."

"Whatever," he mumbled and went into the changing room. Tamaki being the nice person he was went to go get more towels for his newest apprentice and friend to clean up with. Apparently, he did not learn his lesson about warning people before entering their space because he opened the curtain and saw Kagome wearing only her chest bindings and underwear.

"Tamaki, you pervert! Get out!" Kagome yelled in anger as she threw her shoe hitting Tamaki in the head. He fell backwards from the sudden impact and the curtain shut. The other members gathered around him to see what was wrong, but it became all clear when they heard Tamaki's mumbles as he lay on the floor with a huge bump in his head and eyes spinning.

"No... He... She... Girl... Everyone... Cross dressers..." He spoke incoherently, but everyone understood what he was trying to express.

The light shadowed in Kyoya's eyes and his pencil snapped in his hand. Mori's eyes were widened. The twins along with Honey had extremely large eyes and their mouths were gapping open to the floor. Haruhi was only slightly confused that other person was mistaken for a boy and was intentionally cross dressing.

Kagome emerged from behind the curtain wearing a royal blue maid's outfit complete with short skirt and lace apron. The members thought she was just as cute as Haruhi wearing girly clothes.

"You know, you think you would have learned your lesson," she said sternly to the host king lying on the floor, "At least give some kind of warning before you barge in on someone." Kagome looked to all of the host club members staring at her intently in various states of shock and sighed.

"I guess you all want an explanation, right?" They nodded vigorously.

"No one asked if I was a boy," Kagome answered with a shrug of her shoulders, "I don't care whether I am or not."

"There's another girl!" Honey said excitedly and jumped up into the air being the first to recover.

"Hnn," was all that was said from Mori but it was clear he was also interested in this additional development.

"Look, Kaoru. Our other toy—" started Hikaru.

"—Is also a girl," Kaoru finished with a grin.

"This could be fun," they said in unison linking arms and standing side by side.

Kyoya was clearly irritated that he was outsmarted by the small female but was determined to find out all he could about the Taisho heir.

Tamaki still hadn't left his spot on the floor and continued murmuring to himself. "What is this world becoming?"
