A/N: Cyra Hafise and mcangel1976 have teamed up again to create a new story for you. We hope you enjoy it and let us know what you think. It is Mori and Hunny's turn to get paybacks for being called part of the homosexual supporting cast.

Chapter 1 – Secrets Need to Stay Secret

It was one of those normal or not so normal weeks in the Ouran Host Club. Haruhi had been learning to live with the weirdness that came with her fellow club members, but sometimes they were just more than a normal person could handle. The twins hung all over her and Tamaki acted like she was his daughter or something. How that one would even be possible is anyone's guess, but still, they did provide her with entertainment and it wasn't boring around them.

Glancing around the gardens they were currently in, Haruhi smiled as her gaze returned to the two seniors she was currently hosting with. They were her favorite hosts and she had a special relationship with them both. They were the first ones to treat her as an equal and as a girl, and for that she loved them both.

Haruhi got up from her position when she felt like she was going to laugh at the girls that were surrounding them. Honey had been mixing some green tea and had over done it. Mori had told him that he did too much and Honey teared up in order to get the right reaction out of the girls, and they ate it up gushing telling him that he had mixed just the right amount. Haruhi really didn't understand why the girls acted like they did; however, she could not be termed as a normal girlie girl compared to the customers of the host club.

As she was standing under some blooming sakura trees, Tamaki walked up to her and started spouting nonsense. Honestly if she wasn't so nice, she might have made some gagging noises, but she was polite and instead made sarcastic remarks that he took literally causing her to deadpan and sweat drop. She just didn't understand him sometimes.

Soon the twins joined them and started wrapping Haruhi in their arms yet again. They wanted to know about her elective courses, but she hadn't given much thought to it. She understood that they wanted to take the same classes with her, but she also wanted a little break from them so that she could concentrate on her studies a little more. Knowing that they were talking about it in front of Tamaki to get a rise out of him and send him to his corner, Haruhi shook her head and tried to shake the twins off… it didn't work. Their plan for getting under Tamaki's skin… did work.

Looking behind her, Haruhi wondered where Kyoya got his charts and large board. She could have sworn that they weren't in the gardens with them when they started the host club. Rolling her eyes, she once again tried to shake the twins away from her. Just as she was free from Hikaru and Kaoru, Tamaki grabbed her. She couldn't get away from the irksome trio. Hikaru and Kaoru may be getting closer to her and counted as good friends, but they could be a handful a lot of the time.

"Haruhi, you need to stop hanging around those shady twins!" Tamaki ordered her.

"Who are you calling shady?" Hikaru demanded.

Agreeing with his brother, Kaoru added, "Yah, you need to look in the mirror!"

Tamaki stumbled backwards feeling like an arrow pierced his heart. They were right, he was just like them. What was he going to do? What could he do? There was no hope for it; there was only one thing that could fix this whole problem! "We can't hide your gender any longer! Haruhi you need to stop pretending to be a boy and start dressing like a girl again! Daddy just wants you to go back to the way you used to be!" He cried out.

"There he goes again," Haruhi thought. Out loud she groaned, "Who are you calling daddy?"

As Tamaki was shaking Haruhi and trying to convince her that she needed to reveal herself, the twins interrupted informing everyone of something they had not considered. "Boss, you don't have to worry about it much longer. She will be found out," Hikaru started.

"That's right. Physical exams are the day after tomorrow," Kaoru supplied the reasoning.

Looking at them with a confused expression, Haruhi probed, "Physical exams?"

Kyoya scanned his black book, "I forgot about those. The twins are right; they are the day after tomorrow."

Haruhi thought about it for a minute. Did the Shadow King really forget, or was he just waiting to see what would happen? She wasn't sure, but one thing she did know was that she wasn't going to be able to keep her gender concealed much longer, "Well there is no hope for it. I can't keep my secret after that." She could see the fear on everyone's faces, well everyone by Kyoya who was writing something in that book of his. What did they expect her to do? There was no way around this problem.

The next day in music room three, everyone gathered to discuss this latest obstacle. Tamaki sat down on one of the couches and started to day dream about Haruhi dressed in the female Ouran uniform as she waited for him to arrive to sweep her off of her feet. He was her knight in shining armor and her prince charming. She was the meek girl that didn't like people staring at her. He swooped in and told her how beautiful she was gaining her love and ensuring that she would be by his side as his girlfriend.

The others watched on as Tamaki's face took on a dreamy expression and he started to grin from ear to ear. Hunny was the first to comment, "He must be having a really good dream about something."

Hikaru shivered, "He is creeping me out with that smile."

Snapping out of his thoughts, Tamaki stood up and declared, "I think you are jealous Hikaru! You all have been distracted and blinded by jealously, unable to see past the nose on your face; while I have already put my plans into motion. I have already predicted how everything will turn out and I know for a fact that this anime romantic comedy and with Haruhi and I as the main characters, that means we will be love interests!"

Everyone asked as a group, "Well what are we?"

Turning around and pointing his finger at them, Tamaki smirked as he drew a line in the sand, "You boys are the homosexual supporting cast! Please do not cross this line."

"Is this some kind of joke?" The twins questioned simultaneously. "Look boss, we don't think you get it."

"If everyone realized that Haru-Chan was a girl, she couldn't be in the host club any longer," Honey explained, "But if she started to dress like a girl, she would be so kawaii!"

"She was popular with the boys before she came here right? I mean she dressed as a girl through middle school," Hikaru probed.

Pushing up his glasses, Kyoya smiled knowingly, "Yes, according to my research, boys were constantly trying to get her attention and declare themselves to her at least once a month."

"Oh, so Tono wouldn't be able to even get near her," Kaoru sneered.

"But we would be able to because we are in classes with her all day," Hikaru mocked.

Each word was a punch to the gut and drained a little more of his soul away. Tamaki had not thought of that. This isn't what he wanted. He needed Haruhi in the Host Club like he needed to breathe. He didn't know why, but he knew she belonged there as more than just the host club dog. He couldn't let her leave; he couldn't let her go. Just as he was about to turn to ash, Haruhi walked through the door, "Haruhi, please don't leave us. We promise we will find a way to make sure no one finds out that you're a girl. Please stay in the Host Club as our secret princess!"

Moving her eyes to look at Honey and Mori briefly, she returned her gaze to the crazy blonde king that was gripping her arms, "Umm sure."

"You know, I think you and I would hate it if we had to watch guys fawning over Haruhi all of the time," Hikaru stated.

"You're right. That settles it, we need to do something to keep the secret," Kaoru affirmed.

"We need a plan! Now listen to me Operation: Conceal Haruhi's Gender is in affect!" Tamaki announced. Now they just had to come up with the plan and make sure everyone knew what they were supposed to do. No matter the cost, they had to make sure Haruhi's secret remained a secret.
