Chapter 28 | Tamaki's Unwitting Depression!

~Third Person POV~

Kasanoda took several deep breaths outside the prep room.

Suddenly, two redheads were standing in front of them, the looks on their faces mad and terrifying.

"YOU SAW!" they both shouted at once.

Kasanoda rapidly shook his head.

"Did you see?!" Hikaru demanded.

"You saw, didn't you, Bossanova?!" Kaoru shouted.

Kasanoda's legs shook wildly. "I-I didn't look! No! I mean... I did get a glance... But just for a SECOND! So I didn't look! Not at all! I-I did see what I saw, but, no! I wasn't looking!!!" he studdered.

Tamaki, Kyoya, Mori, and Honey suddenly appeared in front of him.

Honey ran up and got in Kasanoda's face.

He eyed him for a second or two before he looked up and spat, "I think people who can't make up their minds are scum."

Kasanoda's legs shook even more.

Then, he took deep, even breaths and composed himself. When he was able to calm down, he said, "So, Fujioka's really a girl...?"

"Uh oh! It looks like he figured out Haruhi's little secret!" Hikaru and Kaoru said together. Then, they eyed Kasanoda.

"He knows." Hikaru said.

"Well, that's no good!" Kaoru said.

Tamaki's eyes widened as his mind began thinking of all the worst thoughts it could possibly conjure up.

"How much did you see? How much of Haruhi's soft, maiden skin, unknown to us, did you see?" Hikaru asked calmly.

"Did you see some of Arabella's soft, maiden skin, also unknown to us, as well...?" Kaoru asked, trying to make his question sound just as casual as Hikaru's.

"Well, they were both changing... so I saw their underwear..." Kasanoda mumbled.

"YOU SAW HARUHI AND ARABELLA IN THEIR UNDERWEAR?!?!?" Hikaru and Kaoru both screamed at Kasanoda. Kasanoda's legs began to shake violently again.

Tamaki felt as though the world was slowing coming to an end around him.

"So! Kaoru, what do you think we should do?" Hikaru practically shouted while glaring intensely at Kasanoda.

"Well, Hikaru, there's really only one thing we can do!" Kaoru shouted as he glared menacingly at Kasanoda. "The first thing have to do is hit him over the head nice and hard so he loses his memory!" Then, he grabbed a baseball bat out of nowhere while Hikaru held Kasanoda in place, ready for Kaoru to strike him...

"Now, now, stop that. The both of you. It's a lot of hard work to cover up a crime." Kyoya said as he held his hand up.

Kaoru glared at Kasanoda. "I'll risk it." he growled.

"Kyoya! How can you be so calm?!" Hikaru shouted before he pointed at Tamaki, who was sitting in a corner. "Look! Tono's so shocked that he's desintegrating!"

Everyone looked over at Tamaki, who was indeed, desintegrating. He was also huddled up in a ball, rocking back and forth.

"Well, now that the crossdressing cat is out of the bag, we'll just have to discuss this," Kyoya said. His eyes met Kasanoda's. "Kasanoda-kun, Haruhi is hiding the fact that she's a girl due to certain circumstances. Now, we have no right to force you to keep your mouth shut about this, however, can you remember this at least? Being a son from one of those sorts of families, you must have heard a number of rumors. If you make enemies with the Ootori family, the Ootori private police force, known in Japan's financial circles as the Black Onion Squad (you've heard of them, haven't you?), will be immediately mobilized. Such is a situation that... of course, we'd like to avoid, right?" he said with a smile.

This clearly isn't a discussion, but more like a of handful of THREATS... Kasanoda thought to himself.

The doors to the prep room suddenly opened, revealing both Haruhi and Arabella (fully clothed, of course).

"Stop threatening Kasanoda-kun." Haruhi said.

"Yeah. Quit it, would ya'?" Arabella said.

"Look, we're sorry we put you through all this. It's alright if you tell others, I'm completely okay with it." Haruhi said.

Arabella gave Haruhi a look that said, "Are you fucking insane?!"

Haruhi ignored her.

Kasanoda just stared.

"Oh my, Bossanova, now that you know Haruhi's a girl, are you in love with her?" Hikaru questioned.

"Or are you in love with Arabella?" Kaoru asked.

Kasanoda's eyes widened.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"I like her... I love her... I like her... I love her... Fujioka or Hashimoto... Fujioka or Hashimoto... I like her... I love her..."

Kasanoda sat cross-legged in his room at home, holding a flower in his hands, and picking off the petals one by one.

"I like her... I love her... I like her... I love her... I like her... Aha! The last petal! Sure enough, I love either Fujioka, or Hashimoto... But which one???" Kasanoda said. He looked around. "Damn, I'm out of flowers. I'll have to decide on my own which I love more..." His hands gripped his head. "God, this is bad! Now that I know he's a she, I can't get Fujioka out of my head! But, Hashimoto is sweet and beautiful and... Gah!!!"

"It's alright if you tell others, I'm completely okay with that."

Kasanoda stood up. "Can I let her stay unhappy despite her brave talk??? There's no way it'd be okay for me to do! For her to pretend to be a boy, and act as a host...! Obviously, she must be in a pretty tough situation! Hashimoto must be too, she's a host, also, plus she wears the boy's uniform! They both do...! Well, Hashimoto's is styled differently... but that doesn't really matter! They're both in tough situations! Alright then, if they want me to keep my mouth closed, then I will keep Fujioka's secret, even if it costs me my life!" he said to himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Kasanoda walked the halls of Ouran before he approached Music Room 3.

He opened the doors and went inside.

All the Host Club's customers looked at him as he walked in.

"Hey, isn't that Kasanoda-san, from class D?" one whispered.

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

"You mean, Kasanoda-san is like a host-in-training or something?" whispered a third.

Kasanoda ignored their stares and whispers as he walked across the room and to a random, empty table and sat down on the sofa. "I-I'd like to request both Hashimoto and Fujioka." he stated, loud enough for anyone to hear.

It was silent for about one second before the whispers started up again.

"What is this?!"

"What's going on?!"

"Is he for real???"

Suddenly, the engine of a powerful motor was heard, along with some laughing.

Renge emerged out of the ground on an incredibly tall platform.

All the customers ran to her.

"Has it last arrived? The genuine article?" Renge asked excitedly.

"Renge! Is it true???" one customer asked.

"Is he really...?" another asked.

Kasanoda looked nervously at Renge and the two customers chatting. What are they talking about??? And, up until now, whenever I glared at anyone, they immediately froze over in fear... But it all seems different today, somehow... Nobody is freezing, no matter how hard I glare at them... On the contrary, all their eyes on me feel fiery!

"Kasanoda-kun! Welcome!" Haruhi said as she and Arabella carried in a tray of tea.

"You're Haruhi and I's next guest, right?" Arabella asked.

"Y-Yeah..." Kasanoda mumbled as Haruhi and Arabella sat down on each side of him, practically sandwiching him in the middle.

However, he didn't mind at all.

Kasanoda nervously stared at both Haruhi and Arabella. His cheeks flushed red. Come on... Keep it together, Kasanoda... They're really cute, but you can't let their looks get the best of you...!

His legs began to fidget slightly under the table.

Arabella began pouring some tea for him.

"Is tea alright? You don't mind something sweet?" Haruhi asked him.

"Here, I'll help." Kasanoda said as he reached for the tea cup Arabella had.

Arabella pulled it out of reach. "No, you're our guest! It's okay, really." she said. Then, she handed Kasanoda the tea.

Tea made for me from Hashimoto and Fujioka... Kasanoda thought.

"So, have you been to a place like a Host Club, before?" Haruhi asked him.

"Yeah, sir, is this your first time in an establishment like this?" Arabella asked in an official voice. Then, she playfully nudged Kasanoda, who flinched. "Ha! Just kidding!" she joked.

Kasanoda's legs fidgeted even more. "Y-You've really got this down, don't you?" he asked both girls.

"Well, we didn't know what to do at first..." Haruhi said.

"But, the more we did it, the more naturally it came. So, here we are." Arabella explained.

Across the room, Hikaru and Kaoru watch the three of them chat lively on the sofa.

"Come, Kyoya! Hurry it up, would you?!" Hikaru snapped.

"Yeah! Get that guy out of here!" Kaoru snapped.

"He's getting along with his fellas now..."

"... so there's really no reason for him to be in our club anymore, is there?!"

"He appears to be keeping Haruhi's secret, and since he's here as a guest, what reason do we have to refuse him?" Kyoya said.

"The other guests are afraid of him!!!" Hikaru and Kaoru shouted at Kyoya.

"He seems okay, as far as that goes. Just take a look." Kyoya said as he pointed at their customers, who were all in very lively conversations, all of them about Kasanoda, Haruhi, and Arabella.

Hikaru and Kaoru turned to look at all their customers gushing at the scene on the sofa.

"Just look at his expression!"

"He's obviously madly in love with either Haruhi or Arabella! But, which one???"

"He can't have them both! He has to choose!"

"This is so exciting!"

"I feel sorry for anyone that's not here right now!"

Renge got an idea, grabbed her phone, and called someone.

"Hello, Sumire-san? Ditch your stupid violin lesson and come on down to the Host Club at once! You're going to see something amazing!" Renge said over the phone.

By now, all the customers caught on and got their phones out as well.

"Hello? Kurokano-san? Hurry over to the Host Club, right now! If you don't, you're going to regret it for the rest of your life!" one customer blabbed into her phone.

"See? Thanks to him, our take today might set a new record." Kyoya said to the twins.

"So that's all you care about, you moneygrubber!" Hikaru and Kaoru hissed.

Back on the sofa, Haruhi and Arabella were offering Kasanoda more tea.

"Kasanoda-kun, would you like another?" Haruhi asked.

"We'd be happy to pour you another." Arabella said.

Kasanoda smiled nervously. "Uh, yeah, thanks!" he said as Arabella poured him another cup.

Hikaru and Kaoru watched, seething with rage.

"What are we gonna do?! Look! Haruhi's flashing him her adorable smile!" Hikaru said.

"And Arabella's batting those flirtatious eyelashes of hers at him! Who could resist that?!" Kaoru panicked.

Hikaru gave him a look. "Well, I know you certainly can't." he said.

Kaoru glared. "Now's not the time to make fun of Arabella and I's 'relationship', Hikaru." he snapped.

"Good point. Sorry." Hikaru said.

Suddenly, Honey appeared next to the twins. "Hika-chan! Kao-chan! It's unlike you two to not go in and interfere!" he said.

"Well, we can't exactly go in and tear them apart, although we really want to! Mainly, because of our screw-up at the country club, remember?" Kaoru said.

"Actually, it wasn't our screw-up, it was your screw-up..." Hikaru pointed out.

Kaoru glared at him. "Shut up. And, plus, weren't you the one that PUT ME in that position?!"

Hikaru shrugged. "Hey, don't hate the player, hate the game. You just played the game wrong, obviously."

Kaoru rolled his eyes at his brother before they both turned around to face Tamaki, who was still in a ball in a corner, rocking back and forth.

"Boss! How long are you going to desintegrate like a baby?!" Hikaru demanded.

"Yeah! It's in times like these that we need our king to step up, don't we?" Kaoru said firmly.

When Tamaki didn't respond, Hikaru and Kaoru forced him up, and shoved him over to the sofa. "Go get 'em!" they shouted at him.

Tamaki stared at the sofa for about a second before he began walking over slowly... somewhat like a robot...

When he got to their table, Arabella, Haruhi, and Kasanoda looked up.

"Senpai?" Haruhi asked.

"What are you doing?" Arabella asked before Tamaki made his way to the middle of the sofa, and sat, separating Arabella and Haruhi from Kasanoda.

"Hey, if you're going to sit down, do it over there." Haruhi said before she forced him to move.

Then, Arabella handed him something. "Here. If you're bored and need something to do, you can play with this. I got it for free from the supermarket." she said.

"Oh! I've seen these before!" Haruhi said before she turned to Tamaki. "You try and pull them apart."

Tamaki said nothing, but began trying to pull them apart.

Then, Tamaki pulled them apart.

He turned to Haruhi and Arabella. "Look! I solved it." he said.

Arabella smiled. "Good! Now, try and put them back together." she said.

Tamaki tried to put them back together.

Hikaru, Kaoru, and Honey watched as Tamaki just sat on the sofa, twiddling his thumbs and doing nothing about the Haruhi-Arabella-Kasanoda thing.

Hikaru and Kaoru growled. "That idiot..." Then, Hikaru pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Tamaki's cell phone buzzed inside his pocket. He pulled it out and put it to his ear. "Hello?"

"Come on, boss! How long are you gonna be in la-la land?! I'm warning you, Tono, while you're out there being a complete robot, the situation is rapidly becoming worse than it already was!" Hikaru shouted over the phone.

Kaoru took the phone from him. "Listen to me, Tono, and think hard about this--if you let things go on like this, and if you let Bossanova snatch Haruhi and Arabella away, then their future will be one of them as a gangster wife and the other as... a gangster mistress! Do you honestly want that?!" he shouted into the phone.

Tamaki practically crushed his phone in his hand. "NO WAY." he growled.

Then, he stood up, slammed his hands on the table, and shouted, "DADDY IS AGAINST IT!!!"

Haruhi and Arabella stared up at Tamaki.

"S-Senpai?" Arabella muttered.

Tamaki then grabbed Kasanoda by his shirt collar and shook him wildly. "Bossanova-kun!!! What do you think you're doing here?!?! Now that you've successfully established a bond with your fellas, what good does it do now not to strengthen it?!?!" he shouted.

"Alright, boss!" Hikaru shouted. "You go!"

"Attaway, Tono!" Kaoru shouted as he pretended to punch someone. "Go, go!"

"What about Kick the Can?! Huh?! Go on, NOW! Go on, RIGHT NOW!!! Shouldn't you be enjoying your youth to your heart's content?!?! However, after all of this, if you mean to tell me that you still wanna come around Haruhi and Arabella, then, as their father, you will have to go through ME!" Tamaki shouted.

Kasanoda stood there for a second. "Wait... father? As in their dad? You're their dad? As young as you are?" he suddenly asked.

Tamaki just stood there, his eyes widened.

"Oh no, not good..." Hikaru mumbled from behind a piller.

"Who knew he'd throw milord a fastball??? He's good..." Kaoru said, also behind the piller.

Tamaki gulped. "M-Maybe we're not related by blood, but..." he trailed off.

"Then... you're married to one of their moms or something...? If so, that doesn't make you the father of both of them." Kasanoda said.

"N-No... I'm not married to any of their mothers... I've never even met Haruhi's before..." Tamaki mumbled.

"Then you're not their father, are you?" Kasanoda said.

Tamaki stood still and did nothing.

Then, he suddenly ran off, and crashed to the ground.

"Tama-chan! Keep it together!" Honey shouted at him.

"He's right... Strictly speaking, I'm not Haruhi and Arabella's daddy..." Tamaki mumbled sadly.

"Not loosely speaking either..." Hikaru and Kaoru mumbled.

Tamaki's eyes widened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tamaki slowly opened his eyes.

"There we go! He's waking up!" Hikaru and Kaoru said.

Tamaki blinked. "I need to sort this out..." he mumbled.

"Sort what out?" the twins asked.

"If, supposing... supposing I'm not Haruhi and Arabella's daddy... then why do I feel so strongly about them...? It's weird, though... I care about Arabella a lot... But... But, Haruhi is... different... If I'm not her father, then why do I find her so cute and precious???" Tamaki said.

Everyone just looked at him.

"Huh? Boss, what are you talking about?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked.

"Why is it I can't stand it when Haruhi's with someone else? Why is it that whenever she's with another guy, I hate it? If I'm not her daddy, then I shouldn't have any right to interfere with any relationships Haruhi and Arabella might develop..." Tamaki said.

"Uh... then what was with those delusions you making Haruhi your future wife up until now...?" Hikaru asked.

"You're right, fathers don't typically want to marry their little girls when they grow up..." Tamaki mumbled.

"And what about keeping her from kissing anyone?" Kaoru asked.

"I... I just wanted to preserve Haruhi's soft lips...!" Tamaki said.

"Tono, you don't want our relationships as they are now to fall apart, do you? Wasn't our family setting your line of defense against that?" Kaoru asked. Then, his eyes widened. "Maybe you're not the only one using it as a line of defense against any possible new things..."

Hikaru looked at his brother, confused. "Kaoru?" he asked.

Kaoru stared down at Tamaki.

"I don't know what you mean..." Tamaki said.

Kaoru's eyes widened. Idiot! He's an idiot! he thought. He's oblivious to it!

"I get it, indeed. I did think your lovey-dovey delusions lacked any sense of reality on a daily basis, but..." Kyoya trailed off. To think he was THIS stupid... he thought.

"Wow! Tama-chan is totally in the dark when it comes to his own feelings!" Honey said.

"Uh, Kaoru? What did you mean about a line of defense?" Hikaru asked his twin.

Kaoru went stiff. "N-Nothing...! Just a theory of mine...!" he studdered. Then he looked off to the side and glared. "A theory that I'm probably completely wrong about since, apparently, no one else sees it...!"

Back over on the other side of the room, Kasanoda, Haruhi, and Arabella watched the scene taking place.

"Uh, is everything okay over there...?" Kasanoda asked. "Did I say something I shouldn't have to Suoh-senpai...?"

"I don't know... But, Senpai is like my dad in some ways..." Haruhi said.

"Yeah, since my dad died, I've had no other father figure in my life... And then Tamaki came along and... he kinda made up for that... in some ways." Arabella said.

The second Tamaki heard that, he immediately perked up, sat up, and chuckled. "Did you hear that, gentlemen? Haruhi and Arabella said that I'm a lot like their father!" he said. "That's it! I may not be their daddy, but I'm a lot like a daddy!"

"Looks like you aren't listening." Kyoya said.

"Fujioka, Hashimoto," Kasanoda said on the other side of the room. "Listen, would it be okay for me to come here again? U-Uh, I mean, if I'm not bothering you two...!"

Haruhi and Arabella stared at Kasanoda before they both smiled.

"We'd be thrilled!" Haruhi said.

"Yeah, it'd allow us to become closer, Kasanoda!" Arabella said.

"Here it is," Renge said, watching them atop her platform. "Here it is, here it is, here it is...!"

Everyone watched Arabella, Haruhi, and Kasanoda in complete, udder silence.

"F-Fujioka...? H-Hashimoto...?" Kasanoda asked.

Haruhi and Arabella looked at him.

Oh no... I can't hold back my feelings anymore...! I have to tell them! But, which one do I feel more strongly about?! Kasanoda thought to himself.

"Fujioka, Hashimoto, I..." Kasanoda started. "I..."

Everyone leaned forward, eager to see the results.

"I..." Kasanoda mumbled.

Before he got to get any more of his sentence out, Haruhi chuckled.

"It's nice to have a friend who shares the same values, huh?" she said.

"Yeah, totally!" Arabella agreed.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

Kasanoda turned pale.

"We've never had someone we could just talk with like this, so it's nice, ya' know?" Arabella said as she and Haruhi stood up.

"Having a friend like that," Haruhi said. Then, she and Arabella smiled at Kasanoda. "We're going to be really good friends."

Kasanoda's eye began to twitch.

"Well, he got shot down..." Renge mumbled.

The customers started freaking out.

"Oh no! He got shot down!!!"

"His crazy love triangle love-life ended before it even began!"

"He got cut off before he could even confess his love to at least one of them!"

"And he got told they were all just friends, twice!"

"That poor guy!!!"

Kasanoda sighed. They're probably right... it probably wouldn't have worked between any of us anyway... Plus, it'd be too hard, Fujioka acting as a boy and all... So, the least I can do for them is...

"Y-Yep! We'll be friends! The best of friends!!!" Kasanoda said.

Haruhi and Arabella both smiled. "Mm hm!"

Hikaru, Kaoru, and Honey sniffled. "B-Bossanova...!" they cried.

"Poor Kasanoda-kun...!" All their customers cried, including Renge.

"That was beautiful! Thank you for moving me!!!" Renge cried.

"Thank you for moving us!!!" all the customers shouted before everyone ran to Kasanoda.

"We'll be your friends too!"

"That was magnificent!"

"We'll be your friends too, Bossanova-kun!" Hikaru and Kaoru said. Then, Hikaru held up a can. "Here! Let's all play Kick the Can together!"

"I'm your senpai, but I'll be your friend! Here, you can even play with Usa-chan!!!" Honey said before he shoved Usa-chan in Kasanoda's face.

"How beautiful! Until next time, Kasanoda-kun! Take care!" Renge said as her platform lowered her down, back underground.

Tamaki just sat on the ground as his eyes widened at the scene in front of him.

"Tamaki? Are you okay? What's the matter?" Kyoya asked.

"When I think about the way Kasanoda-kun must've been feeling, my heart somewhat goes out to him." Tamaki said.

"That's strange. You are Haruhi and Arabella's 'daddy', aren't you?" Kyoya said. "There shouldn't be any reason for you, as a man, to have your heart ache with sympathy towards him."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hyper starlight kick!"

Tamaki took a running start and kicked the can as hard as he could.

It flew up into the air.

Everyone, including the rest of the Host Club and their customers, all scrambled to get it.

Kasanoda grabbed it, and set it down on the ground.

Then, he sat down and closed his eyes. "Okay! One... two... three... four..."

Everyone immediately ran to go hide.

"Arabella! Come with with me!" Kaoru said before he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the nearest bush.

Arabella giggled, trying to be quiet so Kasanoda couldn't hear her. "What?" she whispered.

Kaoru sighed. "Look, we need to talk about the elephant in the room, if you know what I mean, and I think you do." he said.

Arabella stopped giggling, and her eyes widened. "U-Uh, uh huh..." she mumbled.

"Listen, I don't want things to be all awkward between us anymore... I want to go back to us being okay... okay? I know we can't erase what happened, but we have to stop pretending it didn't happen, because it did. And, it's not what you think, either! I didn't lock myself in a locker in the girl's locker room to watch girls get undressed like a pervert! I swear! Tono was the one to lock me in there and it was all Hikaru's idea. Shocking, right?" Kaoru said.

"Hm, not really. That does sound like something Tamaki and Hikaru would do... And, I know you're not a pervert, Kaoru. I just... kind of panicked when you saw me like that... I'm sorry I didn't handle it in a better way..." Arabella said.

"And I'm sorry I didn't react in a better way," Kaoru said. "So... are we good...?"

Arabella chuckled. "Yeah, we're good," she said. "But, I'm gonna kill Hikaru tomarrow."

Kaoru laughed. "That's makes the both of us."

Then, they made up with a hug.

"By the way, when I was in the locker room and I saw you, you looked great." Kaoru said with a humorous tone.

Arabella laughed. "Uh huh, thanks...!" Then, they separated and she punched him in the shoulder playfully.

She smiled at him.

He smiled back at her.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing??? This hiding place is for Haruhi and me only! So, go away...!"

Arabella and Kaoru peeked out of their bush to see Tamaki and Haruhi hiding underneath a table surrounded by plants, and Hikaru and Kyoya looking down at them.

Kaoru and Arabella chuckled before they got up and made their way over to Tamaki and Haruhi's hiding spot.

Tamaki frowned when he saw him. "Great... more people...," he grumbled. Then, he noticed one of the people was Arabella. "Oh, Arabella, my little girl! You can stay and hide with us! But, everyone else must leave, now."

Hikaru and Kaoru frowned. "You can't decide that all on your own!" they pointed out.

"And, boss, why do you have to..."

"... hide with Haruhi?"

"You fools! First off, I'm hiding with Arabella too! Second off, it's only natural for a father to hide with his daughter!" Tamaki whisper shouted.

"I don't see any necessity." Kyoya said.

"Shh! Eveyone, quiet!" Haruhi whispered.

Up above, high in a tree, Honey and Mori sat together.

"Hika-chan is oblivious and still developing, but is it okay for Tama-chan to be super dense since he clearly likes Haru-chan, but isn't aware of it himself?" Honey said.

"Yeah." Mori said.

"Kyo-chan's feelings are a mystery, but Kao-chan... We all know how he really feels about Ara-chan, and he knows it too, he just won't admit it to himself... And, I have a feeling Ara-chan feels the same way about him, but she won't admit it to herself... right?" Honey said.

"Yeah." Mori said.

Honey looked up at the sky. "At this rate, I wonder if there'll be any new developments before we graduate..." he wandered.

"Who could tell?" Mori asked.

Back on the ground, Tamaki said, "For one thing, why kick the can?"

Hikaru and Kaoru nudged him. "Quit talking!" they both whisper shouted.

"Hey! Don't push!" Arabella hissed.

"Stop talking, all of you!" Haruhi whispered. "And quit it with the shoving!"

"Hands off my Haruhi!" Tamaki demanded.

"She doesn't belong to you, Tono." Hikaru and Kaoru pointed out.

"Then who does she belong to???"

"I don't belong to anybody!"

"What about Arabella, then? Who does she belong to???"

"I don't belong to anybody either!"

"She obviously belongs to Kaoru."

"Shut up, Hikaru!"
