BLOOMING HEARTS ▹ T. MORINOZUKA [✔]

thirty-one.

The Twins and Tamaki dashed after Haruhi and Kasanoda. If it were up to Kyoya and Kazumi, the two would calmly walk to Music Room #3, but the blonde President pulled the Shadow King while the short senior grabbed his classmates by their hands.

"You saw it, heh?!" Kazumi arrived just in time to see the Hitachiins cornering the red-haired, who trembled in fear.

"You saw?" Hikaru pressed.

"You saw it, didn't you, Bossa Nova-cchi?" Kaoru pushed.

"I-I didn't see anything!" Kasanoda shook his head. "Well... I did see a bit, but it was only for a second, so I didn't see anything! I guess I saw something, but-- No! I didn't see anything!"Honey joined the twins, dropping all his outgoing personality and innocent grin.

"I think guys that can't make up their minds are scum," he shot, making Ritsu shiver even more intensely.

"Perv," Kazumi accused, causing the word to shoot through his chest painfully.

"Fujioka is a girl, isn't she?" The Yakuza kid inquired.

Hikaru and Kaoru shared a glance.

"It seems this person found out Haruhi's secret," one said.

"This is not good," the other added. "What did you see?"

"How much of Haruhi's virgin skin that even we haven't seen, have you seen?"

Kasanoda lowered his gaze.

"As I said, she was changing, so I saw her in her underwear."

"You saw Haruhi in her underwear?!" The twins barked.

"The lowest kind of person," Kazumi commented.

Takashi nodded. Just imagining any other guy seeing Kazumi in her underwear was enough to boil his insides.

"What shall we do?" Kaoru asked.

"Right now, let's just beat the crap out of him," Hikaru suggested. "And make him lose his memory!"

Kaoru went behind Kasanoda and grabbed him by his armpits while Hikaru fished a wood bat out of nowhere, ready to strike Kasanoda's head.

"Now, now, stop it," Kyoya said half-heartedly. "It's rather troublesome to cover up crimes."

"And costly," Kazumi added.

"Why are you so calm, Kyoya-senpai, Kazumi-senpai?" Kaoru asked.

"Look!" Hikaru pointed his bat to a semi-dead Tamaki. "The lord is so shocked that he's pretty much an empty shell right now!"

"Well, now that the secret has been found out, we can only resort to civilized negotiation, right?" Kyoya adjusted his glasses business-like. "Kasanoda-kun. For special reasons, Haruhi has to conceal her gender. We don't have the right to forbid you from spreading this information, but would you mind keeping this in mind? As a child from a powerful family, you should have heard rumors of this. Just by making enemies out of the Ootori family, the Ootori Private Police, the secret service of the Japanese financial and political world, will take action. We wouldn't want something like that to happen, right?" He finished his terms of the negotiation - threat - with a fake smile.
