"The cultural festival?" Haruhi asks. School was let out early and the twins and Haruhi were talking about the festival. I already knew about it. I got specific orders to stay out of it, from Father. Gathering my stuff, I put a sucker in my mouth and nod to Kotetsu, exiting the room.

"Ryu-Chan~ There you are!" A familiar buoyant voice shouts, making me groan. "Where're you going?"

"Home." I respond bitterly, "Aren't you supposed to be in the host club?"

"Aren't you supposed to be there too, Killer King?" He inquires, and I can't help but smile slightly at the nickname.

"My dad doesn't want me to be here for the whole cultural festival thing. Scared that my identity will slip out or something." I wave my hand, pushing the big oak doors and stepping outside. I take out my cigarettes and lighter, and just as I go to light it, i'm pinned to the wall of the school. I glare into Huni's chocolate orbs.

"Nuh uh uh, you don't need to be smoking around the school, silly!" He giggles, taking the nicotine stick and throwing it to the side. I glower at him, my bottom lip puckering out in a pout. "Besides, since when have you been the obedient daughter, Ryu-Chan?" Huni says quietly, his lips dangerously close to mine.

"Well, since never- Wait, what're you inquiring..?" 

"That you stay here with me and the guys!" Huni lets go of me and throws his hands in the air.

"Where's Usa-Chan?" I ask, going over and picking up the thrown cigarette. 

"Takashi is watching him for me. I told him I had to go to the restroom." 

I gasp fakely, putting the stick back in the carton. "You're lying to your cousin? Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what would happen if he found out?" Slipping the box back into my pocket I walk back into the school. 

"He won't~ Takashi doesn't trust me around you, so I had to tell a little fib to come and see you!" 

"Mhm.. shouldn't we be getting dressed?" I ask, opening the door to Music Room 3. Huni is right, i've never been the obedient daughter... "Oh my god, what's today's theme."

"Knight in shining armor! Ah my Kosai~! I was wondering where you were!" Tamaki sings, coming over to me, dressed in armor.  All of the hosts were already dressed, besides Huni and I. But there's no Haruhi...

"Where's Haruhi?" I ask, tripping Tamaki as he comes in for a hug.

"Getting more commoner's coffee." 

"We ran out." Hikaru and Kaoru say, tipping their hats.

"Go get dressed." They both say, pushing me and Huni to the dressing rooms. We both get dressed in armor suits and when we come out Kotetsu and Tamaki were greeting these two girls.

"You think that's what a woman wants to hear?" A girl with caramel brown hair says snobbishly, sneering at Tamaki and my brother. I feel a glare set on my features as the two girls rat out Kotetsu and Tamaki.

"By protecting us, he's just disguising the fact that he's weak and unable to protect himself."

"Oh really? You have no right to come into our school as guests, and then rat out our club. If the way we run our club doesn't suit you, you're perfectly capable of leaving, as the doors are right behind you. Then again, what do snobby prissy girls like you want to hear?" I ask, stepping up to them.

"Ryuko!" Kotetsu says my name in a warning, but I shrug him off. Someone puts a hand on my shoulder as I go to take a step towards them.

"Well I never-!" The shorter one starts, but a voice cuts her off.

"We like something like 'I would never leave my lover alone, if we fight, we fight together, if we fail, we shall fail together, and I promise to never leave your side my love." In the middle of this, the doors opened to reveal another girl in the same uniform, twirling Haruhi around.

"Benio, we thought you'd never show! Where did you find this lovely young maiden?"

"Yes her skin is so smooth!" The two girls fawn over Haruhi- wait! They knew she was a girl? Shit... let's hope they don't detect me.

"Don't touch my daughter without asking daddy first!" Tamaki shouts, running at the girls, but then getting punched by the girl named Benio. Nuh uh, that's my job.

As Tamaki cries to Kyoya, I walk up to them, acting as manly as a girl can. "What the hell was that for? Only i'm allowed to punch the Host King." I glare at them.

"Benio, this is the mean one." The girl with orange-ish hair whispers, and I feel my eye twitch in irritation.

"I guess the rumors we heard are true. You're all just a group of weaklings with no brains in any of you." Benio states, hugging Haruhi to herself. 

"Excuse me bi-"

"Those uniforms, you ladies must be from Lobelia Girls' Academy, and I correct?" Kyoya interrupts me and I glare daggers at him. A sparkle lights up in the girls' eyes and I sense something is about to happen. Why do I feel like these girls are going to si-

"Lobelia~!"

Sing.... I groan and walk away from them. I grab Huni's shirt sleeve and drag him over to the other side of the room.

"This is what I get for being the disobedient daughter. Who are these bitches?" I ask him quietly, as the three Lobelia girls sing about themselves.

"I dunno Ryu-Chan, but I don't think they realize you're a girl, even with your double D breasts!" Huni shouts quietly, and I feel a blush rise to my cheeks.

"That's 'cause it's wrapped, baka!" I smack him upside the head and a second later a large hand is on my shoulder, making me groan. Again. "Mori, move." I push off his hand and then walk back to the group. So the girls' are Hinako, Chizuru, and Benio and they're the... Zuka Club?

"The Zuka Club!? What a ridiculous name!" The twins start laughing their heads off, rolling around on the floor. I just roll my eyes and smirk. Just as things calm down a little, Renge pops out of the ground, scaring the shit out of me and making me hide behind Kotetsu. I glare as she begins to rant about the Zuka Club.

As she continues to talk, the twins slide up to me, "Did someone," "Get scared?" Hikaru and Kaoru whisper to me, and I punch them both in the gut. 

"I'm changing." I mumble, going back to the changing rooms and getting out of the knight costume and putting on the original outfit I was wearing - red skinny jeans, black combat boots, my belt, a black muscle shirt and a red flannel, which I tie around my waist. When I come back out, the Zuka Club is now ranting about themselves. The twins are now uninterested, Kotetsu and Huni are eating cake, Tamaki's in bed from the cultural shock, and Mori's playing with his knight sword. I want in!

Grabbing my own sword, I go over to him and we start to spar, ignoring the three crazy bitches.

"Why don't you girls just scat?" The twins say, and I nod.

"Look at them, girls. Since their idiot host skills don't work on us, they don't know what to do with themselves." Benio chuckles, and I decide to pipe in my opinion.

"No it's because your stupid 'Zuka Club' is the most boring thing ever, and we're not impressed with you. So what you're a historically famous school. Take my advice earlier, if you don't like our club, then take your pampered little asses and walk out the door." I tell them, and Chizuru and Hinako hide behind Benio, which makes me smirk.

"I suppose we could take our leave, after all it was curious to see the horrendous Ouran Host Club."

"Hey guys, we aren't really horrendous, are we?" Huni asks while bouncing Usa-Chan on his lap.

"Of course not Huni. Yea we may be fooling with girls' hearts, but we only mean well. The job of the host club is to make every girl happy, right?" I smile, but then turn back to the Zuka Club. "Then again, I don't think i'd classify these three as girls, so we don't have to make them happy or satisfied."

"And to think they're dragging this sweet girl down with them." Benio sighs, hugging Haruhi to her again.

"Say what now." Haruhi says blankly.

"Your president may be a stupid little halfer, but he shouldn't be using his looks to fool the hearts of young maidens! Your club is nothing but false romantic fantasies! I promise you all, that the Zuka Club will take you down, this Host Club will be abolished!" Benio rants, and I give her a blank glare. This gives Mori the chance to knock the sword out of my hand, making me dive to retrieve it.

"Do you think we could attend to this later?" Kyoya says, and I ignore the conversation, not really caring. When I tune back in, it's from Tamaki screaming over a burnt finger.

"Senpai you gotta be more careful." Haruhi says, wrapping his finger.

I look over at Huni, my arms crossed. "Why haven't they left yet? They're getting on my nerves."  

Huni shrugs, but holds out a piece of cake to me. I look away from him as I take it. How'd he know I needed something sweet?

Kotetsu's POV

I watch as Huni-Senpai gives Ryu-Nee-Chan a piece of cake. I was about to go over and give her a cookie, but it looks like he beat me to it. Now i'm not exactly sure if those two are really dating, but Ryuko hasn't told me anything, and... Huni-Senpai seems like a good boyfriend. Although Ko hasn't been a very affectionate girlfriend in return. My thoughts are disrupted as Haruhi slams the door when she leaves.

"Finally they've left!" Ryu shouts, her cheeks stuffed with red velvet cake. 

"But now Haruhi is angry with us!" Tamaki starts freaking out, and I look over at Hikaru and Kaoru, telling them to fill me in. Since Ryu-Nee and I came to Ouran, the twins and I have become really close.

"Is Haru-Chan gonna leave the host club?" Huni asks, tears in his eyes, and Mori comforts him. I see Ryuko hand Huni Usa-Chan, making me smile slightly.

"Men! And my precious Kosai; We need to form a plan! Operation - Keep Haruhi in the Host Club!"

"Wait, she couldn't leave anyway, what about the 8 million yen debt?" Ryuko asks, pulling out a bag of cookies. Where'd she get those? 

"Lobelia's school would be able to pay off her debt." Kyoya responds, pushing up his glasses. 

We all ponder for a moment, before Tamaki jumps up, "I have a plan!" 

The Next Day (Ryuko's POV)

"I'm not wearing that." I say stubbornly, crossing my arms as the twins show me this poofy dress.

"Just hurry up and change! Haruhi'll be here any minute!" The twins argue with me.

"If I dress in that, it'll show those crazy bitches that i'm an actual girl! Why can't I dress like Mori? In a suit with a big peacock tail!" 

"Because!" Hikaru and Kaoru both push me into the changing room with the dress. "Huni-Senpai, go help her change!" And next thing I know, he's shoved in here too. Huni was already changed so his dress filled up most of the room.

"Okay~!"

"No!" 

"We're not letting you out until you're changed!" The twins chime and I glare. 

"You're not helping me. Turn around. And no peeking!" Huni obeys my harsh order, and turns. I grumble the entire time I'm changing. "Disobidient daughter... they'd be overjoyed if they saw me in this... I wish i'd gone home... I need sweets... Huni you owe me 2 whole cakes." I finish by zipping up the dress and fixing my wig.

"I'm okay with that~ We can make it a date! Saturday at 11 o'clock, kay~?" Huni giggles, and without waiting for a response, pushes the door open. "Ryu-Chan's changed, we're ready!"

"Oi! Cake bastard-!"

"Places! And this time, Kosai, you must stand with us!" Tamaki says, running around as he puts on his feather headset.

"All of this just to keep Haruhi in the club." I mumble and Kotetsu pats my back. He got to wear something similar to Mori's, which made me so mad. I already have a feeling Haruhi's not going to leave, but I was dragged into this. 

Hikaru runs and turns off the lights and we all get in place as Haruhi and the Zuka Club walk in.

"What the.. why're the lights off. Guys?"

We all sing "Ouran" and then, "Host club welcome's you!"

"Oh Haruhi, welcome back~!" Tamaki says in a girly voice, making me cringe.

"Haru-Chan, Haru-Chan look! I'm a pretty princess, aren't I adorable?" Huni twirls over to her, swinging Usa-Chan around.

"U-um..." 

"What is the meaning of this! Are you trying to disrespect us women!?" Benio rages, and Tamaki goes on explaining his theory as I pull at the dress.

"We're the Hitachiin Sisters! Which one of us is prettier?" Hikaru and Kaoru say in girly voices, giggling with fans in front of their faces.

"Haruhi, you gotta call us big sisters from now on, okay?" I tell her, attempting to smile, but the twins and Huni take over, chasing Haruhi around the room. 

"Call us big sister! C'mon, do it!"

"Cut it out! I knew you were a bunch of goofballs, but jeez! What's gotten into you guys?" Haruhi laughs, laying on the floor and trying to catch her breath.

"We did this so you wouldn't leave the club, Haruhi." Kotetsu says, shaking his tambourine with Mori.

"Well young lady, have you made your choice?" Benio asks, and Haruhi stands up, brushing herself off.

"Yea I have. I think your idea of an all girls' school is neat and all, but I came here with a dream, and I plan on following through with it. So I appreciate the offer, but I already knew I wasn't going to leave Ouran."

"I told you idiots! She wasn't gonna leave!"

"But why did you act so angry yesterday then?" Tamaki bawls, and I go back to the changing room to get out of this god forsaken dress.

When I come back out, Renge came out of the floor, "ANd so a new rival forms- Ah!" She shouts in alarm as I throw my shoe at her. 

"Go back to the basement you freak!" I shout and she pouts, descending back into the floor.

"Next time i'm told to stay home, i'm stayin home." I mutter, giving Huni a look, and he just giggles, handing me a cookie. "I swear, those girls are almost more annoying than Huni." I see the blonde's eyes light up, but I keep my face blank. "Almost."
