Um... hi...

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club or Black Butler

"And I ask again," Kyoya spoke low, a glint shining over his glasses, "What is that?" Kyoya was the only one to speak out of the Host Club, the others still too shocked to utter even a simple word and Tamaki, well, it might be a while before he woke up.

Finny laughed, placing a hand on the very large white dog as Pluto sat on the ground. His long tail shook behind him, threatening to hit and knock over some of the trees. Luckily, they were just out of reach of Pluto's tail, saving the dog from getting into trouble by the butler. A large smile was on his face, quite different from the faces of the entire Host Club.

"First your strength and now this, what next? Demons? Ghosts? Goblins?" Hikaru accused. He was breathing heavily. His eyes were wide with fear as he took a step back, along with his twin brother.

Honey whimpered slightly, taking a small step back to stand behind Mori. Even the silent giant wasn't silent because he didn't want to speak. Haruhi stood there, not knowing what to do. He looked down at Tamaki with a concern glossing over his feminine face before looking back up at Finny.

Seeing their reactions was quite different from what he thought there were going to be. Finny was all excited for his friends to see Pluto, but now, not so much anymore. The smile left his face and his shoulders hunched over like he wanted to curl in on himself. "He's our dog. His name is Pluto," he explained, but there was no gusto in his voice like there was merely a few minutes ago. Kyoya hmphed from his spot, fishing out his pen from behind his ear and writing something in that journal of his.

It was Haruhi that noticed the sad look on Finny's face. The young boy sighed, and took a step off of the pavilion, walking on the pavement as he made his way over to Finny. The gardener look at Haruhi, flinching as he worried the boy was going to hit him, thoughts flashing to the time he was locked up. Did he do something wrong like he did then?

But, Haruhi did something that was the opposite of hitting, he placed a soft hand on Pluto's front, right leg and started to pet the large white dog. Finnian gasped, the smile retaking his face as he stared at Haruhi with joy. His eyes sparkled brightly as Haruhi glanced up, straining his neck to get a good look at the dog.

"He is rather cute," Haruhi said. He giggled girlishly when Pluto bent his head down, sniffing loudly the top of his head. If Finny's smile could grow, it certainly did as he watched Haruhi place his hands on the dog's muzzle as best as he could. "And very soft."

It was Honey who came down next, running over towards Pluto as he heard the words that Haruhi said. The tiny boy wrapped his arms around the front, left leg of Pluto, stuffing his face in the dog's fur. His blond hair stood out against the white fur as he nuzzled his face. "He's also really warm!" Honey chirped happily.

Mori was right behind Honey like usual, placing a gentle hand right above the spot where Honey's hand was. He rubbed up and down, causing the fur to move as he nodded in agreement, saying in a monotone voice, "He is."

Finny saw from the corner of his eyes Kaoru practically running over, joining Haruhi in petting the dog near his nose. A large smile was adorned on his face as he greeted the dog. "You're a good boy, huh?" Kaoru said. Pluto sniffed in agreement, ear twitching in the process.

Kyoya, from his spot, bent down and placed a hand on Tamaki's shoulder, rocking the fainted teen back and forth. "Tamaki, wake up." When the President of the Host Club didn't, Kyoya decided to say, "Haruhi's in trouble," right in Tamaki's ear. It worked like magic as Tamaki sat straight up.

"Where's Haruhi! She's in trouble?" Tamaki shouted, Finny catching onto the word she. But he ignored it, thinking it to just be Tamaki waking up and the word slipping past his tongue. The blond-haired host saw the young boy by Pluto and nearly shrieked.

"Haruhi, get away from that!" He screamed. Everyone looked over at Tamaki, his hands placed on his cheeks, his mouth wide open. Even Pluto looked up, his large head tilting cutely to the side.

The young host giggled into his hand with a roll of his large brown eyes. "Tamaki, Pluto here is a gentle giant. He's not going to hurt you. He's cute! Come here," Haruhi spoke, moving a hand to gesture for the older host to see.

Tamaki seemed hesitant, but he glanced up at Pluto's face. His eyes widened, a blush overtaking his cheeks and he couldn't help but smile as he looked at Pluto. He couldn't control it any longer and he ran towards the large dog, arms wide open as he jumped into the air. His hands latched onto the fur of Pluto on the dog's large chest.

"You are too adorable!" Tamaki squealed in his fur. Finny laughed at the sight, Pluto trying to lick his chest to get to Tamaki but unable to do so as to how high up the teen was. "Too adorable! Can I adopt you?"

He slid down the large chest and back onto the ground as Finny told him, "Sorry, he's taken." Tamaki looked deflated at that, but got over it rather quickly to continue petting the dog.

"How do you play with a dog this big, Finny-chan?" Honey asked.

The gardener shrugged. "I use my strength to throw trees, actually," he confessed. There was no point in lying to them about this, how else would Finny be able to play with a dog the size of Pluto.

Kyoya and Hikaru walked over to the group surrounding the large dog at the mention of his strength. Kyoya more so to learn more about Finny and Hikaru because his brother was petting a large dog. The two stayed back though, out of reach of the dog. Neither had an interest in petting the dog, even when Kaoru tried to get his twin to do so.

"Finny," Kyoya gathered the gardener's attention, "Where did your strength come from?" This silenced the others hosts, and Finny took in a sharp breath.

The thoughts of Mr. Sebastian ran through his head, to never mention his strength or his past. He already mentioned his strength and disobeyed the butler's order, he couldn't do so again. Especially not with Mr. Sebastian just inside the house. Who knows what that man could hear? He knew practically everything that went on in that mansion.

He hesitated while his body started to shake involuntarily. He bit his bottom lip as he tried to think of what to say. Pluto, who sensed his master's nervousness, bent his head down and nudged the gardener softly, but the boy did not move. The dog whimpered, nudging harder this time.

Finny turned his heads towards Pluto and placed a hand on top of the dog's nose, staring into his eyes. He smiled at Pluto, gathering the strength to answer back confidently, "I'm sorry. I am forbidden to tell you."

That didn't sit well with neither Kyoya nor Hikaru. The latter of the two crossed his arms over his chest and said with accusation laced venomously in his tone, "Sounds like an excuse to me."

"Hikaru," Kaoru snapped at his brother, glaring at him. He walked over to his twin and punched him in the arm harshly.

Finny, seeing what happened in front of his eyes, and not wanting any of his friends to get hurt, dragged the attention back onto him, holding his hands up, palms facing the guests, "I really can't tell you. Maybe one day, but not now." He hoped that worked, and seeing that satisfied faces of his friends, Finny was able to let out a quiet sigh of relief.

But, he missed the curious glance Kyoya shot at him, the calculating gray eyes that matched his every move. He wrote some more into his journal. Hikaru, his arm hurting from the punch, looked away from Finny. Guilt rose in his stomach, making him nauseas. He was feeling bad? For Finny? Hikaru grit his teeth and pushed the feeling back down. The nausea stayed though to haunt the boy for the rest of the trip.

The door to the garden opened and Mr. Sebastian poked his head out. He scowled immediately at the dog, knowing exactly what was about to happen. He stepped fully outside, feet placed together and hands behind his back as he tried to put a pleasant smile on his face. Internally though, he was glaring at the dog the entire time.

"Finnian, the food is ready," he called out to the young gardener and the guests that his Young Master was so interested him. They all glanced to look at him, including Pluto.

The dog's eyes seemed to widen, and in a puff, fire appearing right where he stood, causing the Host's to jump back in surprise, what was once a large dog now stood a stark naked human man. The man whined, running and jumping right onto the butler. His white hair shifted as he rubbed his head on Sebastian.

The Host's stared wide-eyed in surprise one again as the butler sighed. He placed one gloved hand on the face of the human and pushed. Pluto flew to the ground, but the human… dog… human/dog was persistent and latched onto Sebastian's legs with a smile.

Ignoring Pluto, the butler turned his gaze back onto the guests. He placed a hand over his heart and smiled. "Shall we head inside?"

There was another loud thump again right next to Finny. Tamaki fainted again.

Well. I'm back. But I don't know for how long. Looking at reviews, thank you. They made me happy even when getting them after this long. And to answer some questions. I'm still alive. Nothing is wrong, just some personal things came up causing me to forget these stories.

So, his strength is coming into play. The Host Club, when they see things strange, usually let it slide. But Kyoya will keep it and question it, though I feel like he's the person that will bring a subject like Finny's strength when the gardener is least expecting so his guard is down. (did't work this time, Kyoya!). Strength will come up more.

But, will Finny discover the secret of Haruhi? We'll see ;) Will Hikaru start being nice to Finny? We'll see ;)

Again, I am keeping pairings open, the more support it gets, the more likely it will happen. Either Haruhi/Finny or Hikaru/Finny, but you got to fight for it because pairings aren't really planned, but either of the two pairings listed (or others if you wish, like Finny/Honey) could easily fit in. The more support the better. I just need your opinions.

But yeah, hopefully I don't leave for over a year again. And hopefully my writing got better.

Sorry!
