"Hurry everyone, the guests are starting to arrive!"

"Let's get today over with Haruhi."

"Yes Maru."

We gather near the school's garden gate, a fan hidden in the bushes, ready to be turned on to blow the red petals to our poor guests. I relaxed the little pipe in my palm to give a lazy like hold. I was given it to blow into, to have a sweet jasmine aroma surround me when I speak to my guests today. I tried sucking in...but it restricts you from doing that. How? I'm too lazy to tell you.

The creaking of the door-like gate signaled Kyoya to turn on the fan. 'Smile Maru.'

"Welcome."

"I would choose you my princess."

"Oh, Tamaki."

I looked around at how the host club was doing. I find it quite odd to have half of us wear butler uniforms, while the other half wears kimono. I wore a grey and black kimono with a few golden designs decorating the pattern. My sash, or obi, was loosely tied around my waist to show a bit of my chest, but not so much that when I lean in you'd be able to see my bandages. I keep on scanning past the twins brotherly love act to Kyoya making money for the club...or for his own joy in making money...I can't decide which- maybe both.

I bet you're wondering, don't you have your horde of guests in front of you? The funny thing is, you see, most of them passed out, two had to be brought to the nurse because their bloody noses wouldn't stop, and a few are trying to stop their heat on their cheeks that's making them dizzy. It still weirds me out how me, a girl, is able to get other girls this flushed.

"Maru, you could have your break you know."

I blink of of my thoughts to focus on the voice in front of me.

"Ah, thanks Haru."

"I'm just about to join Honey, would you like to come?"

I nod with a smile, standing up and taking her hand. A few squeals were heard in the background.

While we walked, we made small talk like how each other is doing at home, anything new, the everyday talk basically. We sat on our knees as we watched Honey mix a matcha...thing. I wasn't so sure anymore since I could only see a few drops of green. Mori looks up for a second to nod in recognition. I hear Haruhi mutter under her breath. "Should I tell him?" With that sentence, I realized Honey definitely did something wrong...it didn't really seem to bother his guests though, they watched him intently in silence like curious fox.

Mori leans close to Honey's ear.

'Oh dear, Mori is willing to make a child cry?'

"Honey,"

'Oh yes he is.'

"-you mixed too much."

Honey stopped. A little drop of green was left at the bottom. His cheeks became flushed as a frown formed onto his face, a smile whine let out of his mouth. The two guests, flushed, made Honey smile again by praising him, only to make Haruhi turn and sigh.

"Hey, hey, Haru."

"Yes Maru?"

"Can we go see the blossoms?"

"Sure Maru." She smiles at my attempt for emotion. I was praising myself on the inside for succeeding without sounding strained. I will only try emotion for you cousin Haru.

'Pffffftttt.'

"...Maru?"

'Pppbbbbfffttt.'
