AN: Wow, that's a lot of reviews, isn't it? Just kidding, I'm really excited about the response on this story, and I hope it continues.
Thanks a lot to everyone who reviewed, but I will address each specifically, as I try to do usually, and I want to also say thanks for all the votes. Do you know it took me two days just to answer all the reviews? I was shocked, this is great.
Also, if you reviewers wouldn't mind sending in some ideas for costumes and things for the Host Club to do, I would definitely appreciate it.
Also, would someone please tell me, is it Hunny-sempai, or Honey-sempai?
I hope this second chapter doesn't disappoint, and I also hope that the next chapter doesn't take so long. I just don't really know where this story is going, and would appreciate help. Also, I am searching for a beta. Any takers?

Chapter Two
It had all started when the blonde boy, known as Mitsukuni Haninozuka or Hunny, had asked who she was. Haruhi nodded hesitantly, and Kagome did as well, a smile on her face, "Yes, this is my cousin. I thought I was going to see you guys later." The older girl addressed her words, not to the smallest, but to Kyouya Ootori, the vice-president, and Tamaki Suoh, the president/king, giving them curious and slightly exasperated looks, the blonde giving her a sheepish smile and the brunette giving her a calculated look, his normal calm façade perfectly in place. The twins watched silently, each giving a slight smirk at having 'told on' Haruhi for not telling the Host Club about the imminent arrival of her cousin, and wondering what was going to happen about the newest student and Haruhi's debt. They'd immediately started talking quietly amongst themselves of pranks, and were plotting, looking at each other with signature devilish grins. Mori stood normally, stony and calm, carefully keeping tabs on Hunny as he looked at Kagome curiously.
As Haruhi silently asked the two why in the world they were there, the smallest host club member had crawled down Mori, smiling warmly at Kagome, who returned it readily. Hunny rarely did this, but introduced himself fully, laughing as Kagome did the same, "Hi, my name's Mitsukuni Haninozuka, but everybody calls me Hunny. What's yours?" Within seconds, the two were talking like old friends, eating and giggling together, as she had pulled out some candy, and Hunny suddenly felt like he could relate to her all the more. Mori said nothing, sitting on the ground next to them, accepting Kagome's next container with a polite nod. Before Kagome could take her hands back, however, the twins were by her sides, identical curiosity, asking him if she had anything spicy, only to have two bowls of spicy noodles placed in their hands, their origin being the seemingly bottomless lunchbox that the younger brunette had brought. Before Haruhi could protest, the rest of the Host Club, Tamaki first, sat down and were eating what Kagome had brought, introducing themselves and each being given something they liked. Haruhi sighed and sat down as well, eating her part quietly, and sharing hers with Kagome.
In their rush to meet her, they had neglected to get their own lunches, and were therefore thankful to Kagome for sharing. Now, Tamaki sat, glaring at the twins with a mouthful of Ramen, while Kyouya was politely eating the bowl of spicy noodles, wondering why and how Kagome had fit so many things into his lunchbox. Having been scooted over to make room for the other members, finding himself next to Mori, Hunny, once again, was the first to venture over to Kagome, sitting next to her and smiling up at her, the sugar making him a bit hyper, "So, Kag-chan, did you know that Mori and I are cousins too? Are you going to hang out with us now? Are you in the same class as Haru-chan, Hikaru, and Kaoru? Will you be in the Host Club too? Do you have any more cand…mmhm…" Hunny would have continued had Mori not put a piece of candy in his mouth and spoke his name quietly, reminding him not to ramble and ask the newest person so many questions that he could not answer.
Kagome had thought a minute before answering, carefully choosing the order of her words to answer the sequence of questions in order, "No, I didn't know that you two were cousins. I don't know, maybe I'll hang out with you guys. Yes, I'm in their class. I'm not sure about the Host Club, and I didn't catch that last question, but I think you were asking for candy." Haruhi laughed, knowing that her cousin hadn't changed a bit from her answer and Hunny nodded, his jaws stuck together with taffy, Kagome laughed, and Hunny pulling his jaws apart just enough to smile at him. They ate as quietly as one can with the Host Club, the twins now torturing Tamaki about how little he truly knew about Haruhi, the king giving Haruhi pitiful looks. The pencil scratched across the paper as Kyouya took additional notes about the newest addition to the school, watching Kagome out of the corner of his eye with veiled curiosity.
Kagome Higurashi-Taisho, as the very empty file said, was identical to Haruhi on the outside, the only biological difference was their blood types; Kagome's was B and Haruhi's was O. The new student excelled in the liberal arts subjects, like music, art, and every language that had ever been put in front of him. He also seemed to have an affinity for technology, taking computer classes left and right. As Kyouya thought more about it, he wondered if he would take a look at his laptop. It had been acting strange lately, that being the reason he was using an old-fashioned notebook. He could always get a new one, but another link into Taisho, Co. was hard to find, as father had said, and he didn't want to offend the new student, not knowing his temperament.
Mori, watching the youngest and oldest carefully, stood silently, following Kagome and Hunny into the tree above with his eyes then his body, Hunny having never climbed one. Meanwhile, Haruhi was thinking quietly about how long she and her cousin had been apart while doing a little homework, trying to get it out of the way so that she and Kagome could catch up after she showed her around the campus, Host Club and her neighborhood. She was wandering a lot of things, especially after Kagome saying that a lot of things had changed, some things that she wouldn't easily believe.
All too soon for the new friends, blonde and brunette, lunch ended, and the group separated into its respective groups, girls gathering by the doors as they watched Mori pry a teary-eyed Hunny away from a sympathetic Kagome. Haruhi stood next to her cousin and smiled at her, apparently reminding the younger student something. Kagome hugged Hunny and muttered something into his ear that made him give a thousand watt smile and jump into the open arms of a slightly stunned Mori. He pulled the smaller boy over his shoulders, nodding a little to the two identical cousins and taking him away. Kyouya followed, taking a reluctant Tamaki, who had raced forward to embrace Kagome, exclaiming about adorable Kagome and his skills with the blonde upperclassman.
Kagome laughed and put her arm around Haruhi, picking up her things and following Haruhi into the building, "Thanks for reminding me that, Haru. It always used to work on me." Haruhi nodded and they walked into the next class, one that Kagome was actually good at, English. As they sat there, translating, Kagome thought back to the first person who had ever taught her and Haruhi English. Her father and Haruhi's mother, the closest siblings who were close to the very end. She and Haruhi had always promised they would be that close, no matter what. Looking at her paper to find a doodle of her and Haru as children, she shook her head to clear her thoughts, erasing it all and barely finishing the paper before the teacher collected them. Soon after, Hikaru and Kaoru were bustling her and Haruhi out of this class, into the next, and the one after that.
They reached the end of the day, and the twins were exclaiming that Kagome just had to see that Host Club, and much the protest of the brunette cousins, they found themselves being steered that way. Kagome, ever the brave one, reached for the handle and turned it, astonished at the breeze filled with rose petals that rushed past her face when she pushed the door forward.
