Chatter filled the room as many girls were being entertained by the lovely hosts in the host club. But someone was missing that day.

"Haruhi, if you don't mind me asking, I have a favor of you," Kyoya said.

"Sure, senpai. I just finished with my last client," she said. "What do you need?"

"As I'm sure you may have noticed, Tamaki is absent from the club today."

"Now that you mention it..."

"And while he usually has many maids to help him at home, it seems they've all made plans for today, not preparing for him to be ill," he continued. "So, Haruhi, I'd like to ask you to help him."

"Well sure, senpai, but couldn't you ask anyone else to do it? I'm sure any of our clients here would love to help."

"Now, Haruhi, you musn't ask your guests for help. That wouldn't be right."

"Well I suppose you're right... Alright, I'll go to see him," Haruhi answered.

As she walked down the street, Haruhi couldn't help but wonder if Kyoya had been right about not being able to ask anyone else. He had sent her with Tamaki's address, and she had begun making her way.

When she reached the house, the gates were open, and she opened the door to the house with the key Kyoya had conveniently possessed.

"Pardon the intrusion," Haruhi said as she entered a large foyer that ended in an even larger staircase. She couldn't help but marvel at the size of it all. She made her way up the stairs and began her search for Tamaki's bedroom.

She came upon a door that was simpler than the rest and knocked. I hope this is his room, she thought. "Senpai, I'm coming in!" She walked in and an enormous bedroom met her eyes. She looked around and found that it was, in fact, Tamaki's room.

"H-Haruhi!" Tamaki yelled, confused. "W-What are you doing here?" He let out a large sneeze.

"Kyoya senpai told me I should come and check on you. Looks like he was right," Haruhi explained.

"Well, Haruhi," Tamaki began. "If you want to help me that badly I suppose there's no choice!" He had began to stand on his bed, but burst out into a wave of coughs.

"You really should stay in bed, senpai," Haruhi said. "I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere, just stay put."

Falling back down, Tamaki lied down once more. When Haruhi returned, he had already fallen asleep.
