Bitter 1: Haruhi's Bitter Days
Chapter 26: It's All an Act RIGHT?

Once Kyoya had confirmation that the younger generation of Haninozuka and Morinozuka would be joining the festivities on Friday, he got to work making sure everything was arranged and prepared for their guests. Although it had been a spur of the moment idea, it was turning out quite profitable for the club and he couldn't complain at all. Tamaki by being a dolt actually provided a brilliant idea to increase customers and profit margin. It was a good week indeed.

On Wednesday and Thursday, after club time was completed, Mori and Hunny went through different moves and skill sets for Kyoya, Tamaki, Hikaru, and Kaoru to demonstrate and teach to the customers. Haruhi was there on Wednesday to practice some of the basics and go through some of the throws she would be demonstrating, but on Thursday she worked on her normal training with Satoshi and Chika. Hunny did give them some things to work on for Friday; however, they basically stuck to their normal training routine. Everyone was ready for the demonstration and cosplay; they just wished they knew who Mori and Hunny decided was going to be Haruhi's practice dummy for the day.

Friday had finally arrived and the girls were giddy with anticipation. Every chance they got they would crowd around any of the hosts that they were within close distance of and excitedly talk about the upcoming demonstration. They couldn't control themselves and by the end of the day, each host had been swarmed by girls multiple times. The only two participating in host club activities that got a reprieve were Chika and Satoshi, and that is only because they were surprise guests and not normal hosts. If it had been announced that they were going to be there, it was almost assured that they would have been attacked also.

All of the hosts made their way to music room three without dallying too long after their last class. There were a couple of last minute details to go over and everyone had to change before they welcomed their customers. Unfortunately, a crowd had already gathered around the entrance the music room and the hosts had to fight to get through a mob of teenage girls with hearts in their eyes who were already stoking the flames of MOE.

One by one the hosts and their guest hosts finally made it through the horde of girls. The twins and Haruhi were the last to arrive, and when they finally shoved their way through and were able to shut the door, they collapsed onto each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shrieking when he saw Haruhi fall on top of Hikaru and Kaoru land on top of Haruhi, Tamaki yelled, "What do you two think you are doing with your sister. Get away from my little girl you evil doppelgangers! Don't worry Haruhi, daddy will save you!" He quickly grabbed Haruhi and pulled her away from the twins and into his own arms effectively knocking the wind out of her.

Attempting to push Tamaki away and escape without hurting him before the demonstration, she spoke calmly and in a raised voice, although it was a little breathless due to lack of oxygen, "You are not my father and you need to put me down! Let go! We need to get ready for our customers!"

Tamaki paused briefly and dropped Haruhi to the floor as he continued to spin about the room, "Oh you are right. We can't let the throngs of princesses that came to see me wait much longer. Don't worry my darlings we will be ready for you soon and then you can bask in my beauty."

When Chika and Satoshi watched Tamaki drop Haruhi to the ground, they immediately ran over to her to help her up since they were closer than Hunny and Mori. They both grinned at the glare she was shooting the king of the Host Club, and Satoshi asked, "Are you alright Haruhi-senpai?"

"I don't understand why you didn't take him to the floor just then," Chika grumbled.

Looking up at her helpers, she smiled a mischievous smile and everyone in the room thought it rivaled the twins, "Because if I did that, then he may not be able to continue during Host Club; and besides we have the whole hosting period to for that kind of fun." Haruhi left her friends standing there as she went to the back to get changed into her gi. There was a limited amount of time before the doors opened and Hunny and Mori still needed to meet with everyone.
