Tomoyo's View

"I hate to ruin your little reunion, but since Haruhi is our dog. You must then be our maid." Kyoya-senpai said, while smirking slyly.

Growing stiff, I broke away from my brothers and cousin's embrace. Looking at Kyoya-senpai, I raised an eyebrow. Maid?

"That's fine, as long as it helps Haru-chan, Tomo-chan will do it!" I shouted once again in third person since it's fun.

"Hikaru, Kaoru, you know what to do." Kyoya-senpai said, his glasses flashing, showing the devious intent in his eyes.

Hikaru and Kaoru grinned slyly at me. My stomach dropped. Maybe I shouldn't have agreed so easily.

"Got it." They said, one of them on either side of me.

They lifted me up and started dragging me away.

"Haru-chan! Haru-chan! Help-! Kyaaaaa!" I shouted, as they threw me in a dressing room.

Hikaru threw a bag at me, "Put that on, Tomo-chan." Kaoru said, and with that they left silently.

I looked inside the bag. There was a maid outfit in it. My eyes sparkled in happiness. Were we going to play dress-up?! Shaking my head and smacking my cheek lightly, I scolded myself remembering I had to be a maid to help Haru-chan. We weren't playing dress-up. This wasn't a game. It was the real deal!

Pulling the outfit out of the bag, I quickly put it on. I looked at myself from the mirror behind me. There were no sleeves so the dress slid off my shoulders, also revealing a lot of my cleavage. It had a white corset looking thing that went around my stomach making it tight, it pushed my chest up a little, causing my chest area to look bigger. It has two small layers of ruffles. The ruffles stopping no lower than mid-thigh. There were also some bracelets that looked really cute. I put them on. Overall, it was a very beautiful outfit. But sadly, very revealing. I don't think nii-san or Mori will like this at all.

"Momo-chan, are you done!" Nii-san shouted, impatient as ever.

"Hurry up, we want to see how it looks!" The twins shouted.

I sighed. "I'm done, just wait a second!" I shouted back, "Haru-chan! Come in here!"

"Why's she letting a boy go inside with her?"

"I don't know, Kaoru. Maybe they like each other?"

"Maybe, but why not us then?"

I ignore their idiotic conversation. Were they that dense? She's a GIRL, G-I-R-L! And I would never let them in while I'm changing. They scare me... Soon after, Haru-chan walked in.

Her eyes went wide, "Tomo-chan, you look really pretty. But isn't it a little too revealing?" Haru-chan said, pointing at my chest and legs in particular.

"Thanks Haru-chan, and I thought so too. I have to wear this though...to help repay your debt. Either way it's fine with me, I'm used to wearing dresses." I shrugged it off with a small lie.

Okay, maybe I'm not use to wearing dresses like this! I usually wore dresses that covered me fully. Hiding behind Haru-chan, I walked out the dressing room. My eyes were squeezed shut since I was afraid of the others reactions, especially Mori's and Nii-san's.

"Oh, Haruhi. Where's Tomo-chan?" Tamaki asked, searching around for me when I was behind her.

"Here," She said and moving out the way, to reveal me in the maid outfit.

I heard a series of gasps. Peeking my eye open, I saw everyone with a blush on their faces. Except for Mori and my brother, they were enraged. Hikaru and Kaoru circled around me, it seemed like they were ready to lunge at me and attack. I gulped in fear as Hikaru grabbed my chin, tilting my head up to look him in the eyes.

"You look nice, Tomo-chan." Hikaru said.

Kaoru stood next to his brother. He caressed my face. "It fits perfectly, doesn't it?" He added.

My cheeks grew warm. I turned my face away from them, wishing that someone would save me. I was lifted up into the air only to come face to face with Tamaki. His face was beet red as he stared at me. I raised an eyebrow. Is he going to save me or stare at me?

"You're...you're...you're so adorable, Tomo-chan!" Tamaki swooned, swinging me around. "Isn't she adorable, Kyoya?! Look at her!"

Kyoya-senpai pushed the rim of his glasses up with his index finger, "She certainly is, Tamaki. Now you should put her down, Mori and Honey don't look so happy." He warned.

Tamaki ignored Kyoya-senpai and continued to swing me around, black swirls appeared in my vision and then a wave of nausea hit me. Someone yanked me out of Tamaki's arms. My head was swinging side to side from all of that spinning.

"Mo-chan... Are you alright?" Mori asked emotionlessly, as his eyes betrayed him showing that he was indeed worried about me.

Once I felt better, I smiled. "Yup! Mori doesn't have to worry, Mo-chan is fine!" I sung and kissed his forehead, "Thank you!"

Mori smiled and placed me back down to the ground, and then I skipped over to my brother's side with a grin. He scolded me for what I was wearing. I apologized and said this was for Haru-chan. Tamaki wailed and went to a corner picking mushrooms with a gloomy aura. I sighed. Was it a good choice to volunteer to help Haruhi, or did I make the biggest mistake in my life?

Haru-chan walked through the door with a brown bag in her hand. I jumped over to her and peeked inside the bag.

"Ne, Haru-chan! What's that in the bag?" I asked, curious at what the brown container was.

Haru-chan glanced at me from behind her glasses, "You don't know what this is?" She asked.

"Well...I know what it is, but what does it taste like?" I asked her again, rephrasing what I meant. "I'm kind of... rich, so I've never actually tried instant coffee, but I do know what it is. Plus my parents shame upon it. I've never tried it, but I want to. Can I try it?" I muttered out, slightly cowering back in fear that I seemed like a spoiled rich kid.

She smiled, "Yeah, why not." She said with the shrug of her shoulders.

"Yay! I'm going to try some instant coffee!" I giggled.

"Thanks for shopping for us, piglet." Tamaki said, waving at Haru-chan. "Did you get everything bought all right?"

Haru-chan and I sweat dropped, "P-Piglet?" We both uttered out in confusion and disbelief at what Tamaki said.

Haru-chan sighed and walked to Tamaki, handing him the bag of what she was sent out to fetch for.

"So, what's this then?" Tamaki asked, peering down at the instant coffee in his hand.

"Just what it looks like; coffee." Haru-chan stated.

"I've never seen this name brand. Is this the kind that's already ground?" He said.

Of course not, all your money is used on high quality items. You never tried anything like this.

"No, it's instant." Haru-chan corrected him.

Tamaki grinned knowingly, "Oh, commoners coffee, where you only have to add water, right?" Tamaki said.

"Commoners have their wisdom." Kyoya-senpai said.

I jumped. When did he get here?!

"It says 100g costs 300 yen." Kaoru said.

"That's an incredible price drop." Hikaru added.

"I'll go buy something else. Excuse me for not buying expensive beans." Haru-chan muttered.

More people surrounded Haru-chan and Tamaki.

"No, wait!" Tamaki shouted. "I'll drink this!

Everyone gasped and so did I. Tamaki is really rich and somewhat stuck up from what I can tell. Would he really be willing to try commoner's coffee in front of these girls who swoon over him? Clapping erupted from everyone one. Haru-chan and I only sighed.

"Haruhi, Tomo-chan, come over here and make this coffee." Tamaki ordered.

Tamaki and the other guests walked over to a small table, a girl with red hair stayed sitting down.

"Oh, Tamaki-sama, you carry the joke too far. There's no way that such a lowly person's drink will be to your taste." She said.

"Huh?" Haru-chan muttered.

"Forgive me. I was talking to myself." She apologized with a closed eye smile.

"Haruhi! Tomo-chan!"

I groaned, "Coming..."

Haru-chan and I walked over. She set up the cups and put some instant coffee mix into all the cups.

"Now pour water into the cups, Tomo-chan." Haru-chan whispered.

"Hai!" I said and poured water into the cups.

"There you go." Haru-chan said.

Tamaki struck a pose, "Let the tasting begin!"

All the girls were worried about how their families would react if they drank the coffee. I rolled my eyes.

My eyes wandered over to Hikaru and Kaoru's table. I blushed at what I saw. Hikaru pulled Kaoru close to his face. They stared into each other's eyes rather seductively, I would say.

"You were just so cute when it happened, I couldn't help myself." Hikaru muttered.

"Hikaru..." Kaoru whispered, staring deep into his brother's eyes.

My face grew warmer, "Are they...gay?" I whispered in awe.

"No they aren't. It's just an act they use with the guests. The brotherly love act to be exact."

I shivered. "O-Oh Kyoya-senpai... So this whole thing they're doing is just a act for their guests?" I asked.

"Exactly. With this the club earns money. As you can see everyone has his or her own type, like Tamaki is the princely type. He's requested the most as well." Kyoya-senpai said.

"Oh, so does that mean Honey-nii and Mori have an act too?" I asked.

"Yes, Honey is our Boy Lolita type. Mori is our Silent type like I said earlier." Kyoya-senpai said.

Honey-nii acts cute while Mori acts-- is silent?

"Sorry I'm late!" Honey-nii shouted, as he rubbed his eye with the back of his hand.

Mori placed Honey-nii down. The girls squealed over Honey-nii, because of his cuteness. I growled. Why does he pay attention to them and not me? I gasped. Am I jealous over some girls? I probably am, I haven't seen him in so long, but this is his job to entertain his guests.

"Excuse me, Tomo-chan, is it?" A girl with brown hair asked.

I smiled. I got my first customer as a maid. Yes!

"Yes, can I get you anything?" I asked cutely, "A drink? Desert?"

She shook her head, "No, it's fine. I wanted to ask if you were a host?" She said shyly.

"Oh no, I'm--" I was cut off by Kyoya-senpai.

"She is. Do you wish to request her?" Kyoya-senpai cut me off rather rudely, writing inside a black notebook.

But I'm a maid, not a host!

"Yes please! Can I request her tomorrow?" She asked.

"Yes."

"Thank you, I'll see you tomorrow then Tomo-chan!" The girl shouted and ran off.

My eyes were glued to her back. I was now a host...

I was now as host?

What?!

I turned to Kyoya-senpai, "Kyoya-senpai! What did you just do?" I muttered out angrily.

"I made you a host, it'll be good for the club. Don't worry, you'll still be our maid, Tomo-chan." Kyoya-senpai smirked.

I growled and leaped onto Kyoya-senpai. I wrapped my hands around his neck and my legs around his waist. "Kyoya...I'm going to get you back!" I whispered harshly.

"Really now? What if I said I would lower Haruhi's debt by half a million yen?" He bribed.

I froze. Crap, he got me there.

"Fine..." I gave in, "I'll be a host if you lower her debt."

"Perfect. Now Tomoyo, would you mind letting go of me. You're making all the guests and hosts look over at us, but on the other hand... I really don't mind." Kyoya-senpai whispered, getting close to my face.

He was right. Everyone had his or her eyes on us. I blushed in embarrassment. It looked like I was trying to kiss Kyoya-senpai when I wasn't!

"O-Oh..." I gulped, might as well make my own act now.

I stared up at Kyoya-senpai with a shocked/innocent look.

"Ne, Kyoya-senpai... Why won't you be nice to me? Why?" I sniffled, fake tears trailing down my face. "Wahhh! Kyoya-senpai is being mean to me!" I whined.

Girls swooned over me, I was swiped off of Kyoya-senpai, the girls were smothering me.

"Kyaaaaaa!!"

"Tomo-chan is so cute!

"Don't cry Tomo-chan!

"Who knew Kyoya was so mean!"

"Can we request Tomo-chan tomorrow!"

I smirked in accomplishment. Now that's how you act innocent and get someone else in trouble. Kyoya-senpai sighed and put them on my list. I laughed at him and hopped over to Mori, climbing onto his shoulders. I smirked and stuck my tongue out at Kyoya. He glared at me for a good two seconds and then walked away.

_________________

I was sitting on a table eating cake with a panda that Kaoru got me. His name was Panda-san since I couldn't think of a name for him better than that.

"Panda-san, do you want some cake?" I asked, putting a piece of cake in my mouth.

Panda-san limped to the side.

"Okay, I'll give you some later then." I said, humming to a random tune.

"Kyoya, contact the hair designer!" Tamaki yelled.

I spun around with a piece of cake in my mouth, "Hair designer?" I murmured.

"Mori go to the eye doctor to arrange for some contact lenses!" Tamaki ordered, pointing at Mori.

Contact lenses? Swallowing the cake I glanced over at Panda-san.

"Panda-san, what do you think they're doing?" I asked.

He didn't move.

"Yeah, I don't know either..." I mumbled.

"Honey-senpai, go have some cake!" Tamaki said.

Honey-nii hung his head and sat with us. Usa-chan and Panda-san were talking while me and Honey-nii were talking to each other.

"Everyone else said they were too busy..." Honey-nii muttered sadly.

I pat his head, "It's okay Honey-nii, me and Panda-san aren't busy. You can stay with us." I suggested, handing him a plate of cake.

"Hm, okay." He hummed and ate his cake happily.

Half an hour later, all the cake was gone. Honey-nii and I groaned. We ate at least six plates of cake. My stomach was beyond full.

"Senpai... I can really keep this uniform?"

Picking my head up I looked at Haru-chan. My eyes widened drastically.

"So adorable!" Tamaki cooed. "You almost look like a real girl, don't you?"

Dense. I sighed.

Either way I smiled, "Haru-chan! Oh you look really cute!" I swooned.

"Haru-chan, how cute." Honey-nii said.

Tamaki struck a pose and pointed at Haru-chan. "The errand boy has graduated! Starting today, you are an official member of the host club!" Tamaki shouted. "I will train you to be a first-rate host! If you can get 100 customers to request you, we will forgive your 8 million-yen debt!"

"Yay! Haru-chan is a host now!" I shouted happily.

Then I sat over at my table with some girls when Haru-chan told her guests the story of her mother's death.

"So, who does the domestic chores?" One of her guests asked.

Haruhi smiled, "Oh, I do those myself. My mother was good at cooking and she left me lots of recipes when she was in the hospital. Learning each one of them is fun to do, and on days when they turn out well, my father is delighted, too. Those are the times I really like." Haru-chan said.

Haru-chan doesn't have a mother? It must be so hard for her at home being alone with no one besides her father. At least she can take care of herself and such.

"Tomo-chan."

I looked at one of the girls at my table; she had black hair in two low pigtails. Her name was Miku.

"Yes, Miku-chan?" I said.

"Do you like Haruhi?" Another girl blurted out.

"Of course Tomo-chan does. Haru-chan is Tomo-chan's friend." I stated, eating some cake.

"No, not like that. Like, do you really like Haruhi? As in a girlfriend sort of way?" Miku said.

I giggled. Me, love Haru-chan?? Maybe as a sister I did, but not as anything more.

"No, I barely know Haru-chan, he's only my friend." I grinned.

Haru-chan left her table as soon as her guest's left she looked out the window.

"My bag is gone..." Haru-chan mumbled, "Awe, man. I didn't think there was bullying at this school."

She ran out the club after her bag. Is someone bullying Haru-chan? I turned to my guests.

"Excuse me, but I have to go potty. Can you take care of Panda-san for me?" I asked the girls.

They nodded rapidly, "Anything for you Tomo-chan!"

I thanked them, and ran out the doors after Haru-chan. She was running down the hall past the girl who was Tamaki's regular guest.

"How despicable, Tamaki-sama is taking care of two little pests. Very inconsiderate of you both, but I want you to leave the club or else." She whispered harshly, before walking away from me.

Stupid girl. She's jealous that Haru-chan is getting all Tamaki's attention. Cursing under my breath, I ran outside after seeing Haru-chan in the fountain. Her sleeves were rolled up, as were her pants. She was moving her hands around in the water.

"Haru-chan!" I shouted and jumped into the fountain with everything on.

The water splashed all over me making my dress wet.

"Tomo-chan, what're you doing here?" She asked.

"I saw you run out the club, I passed that girl too. She threw you bag out the window, didn't she?" I said.

Haru-chan's eyes widened, "She say anything to you? And yes, I'm guessing she's the one who threw it..." She said.

"She told me how despicable it was that her Tamaki-sama was taking care of two pests, and she threatened me to leave the club or else..." I said.

"She threatened you? Tomo, that's not good, who knows what she'll do!" Haru-chan yelled.

"Yes, no worries though! Tomo will be fine, Tomo is a good girl who can protect herself." I reassured Haru-chan.

She gave me an unsure look, sighing I walked over to her. "Anyways, what are you looking for Haru-chan?" I asked, beginning my search.

"My wallet. I need it or I won't have any money for food." Haru-chan said.

"Okay." I mumbled, searching for her wallet.

A few minutes had passed and neither of us had found her wallet, I couldn't believe how difficult it was to find her wallet. The water was crystal clear yet it was impossible to find.

"Hey, Tomoyo, Haruhi!" A familiar voice shouted.

Oh, it's Tamaki.

"You two have got some nerve, skipping out on your club activities." Tamaki said, looking at Haru-chan's bag. "Why is your bag all wet?"

"I just dropped it." Haru-chan said, getting back to her search. "I can't find my wallet with my money for food."

I frowned and hugged her slightly, "Haru-chan, you're not going to tell him the truth?" I whispered.

"He doesn't need to worry." She said.

Tamaki walked into the fountain with us.

"Tamaki, you don't need to help us." I said.

"It's alright. You'll get yourself all wet." Haru-chan added.

Tamaki looked around in the water, "Getting wet isn't going to do any harm, now is it?" Tamaki said, not glancing at either of us. "People always say I'm dripping wet with good looks, after all."

Haru-chan stared at Tamaki in a trance like state. I never knew Tamaki could be so kind, I shouldn't have judged him when I first saw him. I guess he really is a good guy after all.

"Oh, might this be, what you're looking for?" Tamaki said with a smile. He walked over to Haru-chan, the wallet in front of her face. "What's the matter? You're off in space. Don't tell me your falling for me already."

"Who, me?" Haru-chan said, swiping her wallet out of his hand.

I giggled. Could this be the start of love?

"Still, how does something like this happen?" Tamaki asked suspiciously.

"I accidentally dropped it out of the window." Haru-chan waved off.

Eyes burned in the back of my head, I looked at the window. There was a shadowy figure on the window, a girl. She saw me and backed away. I glared at the figure. Next thing I know, I'm being swept off my feet.

"Tamaki..." I whispered in shock.

"A princess shouldn't be getting dirty like this, let the men do this." Tamaki said as he walked ahead with Haru-chan by his side.

"I'm not a princess though!" I exclaimed, "You don't have to treat me like one."

"To us you're a princess, Tomo-chan. You always will be no matter how much you deny it." Tamaki stated. "Now, let's get back to the club. Your brother and cousin were worried that you ran out, you shouldn't worry them."

"Sorry..."
