Three days have gone by and the Host Club was currently in science room three that had darkroom capabilities with Nekozawa. Instead of him wearing his everyday dark wig and black cloak, his blond hair was exposed along with his Ouran Academy high school uniform.

Meanwhile, Y/n and Haruhi were in music room three entertaining Kirimi. Haruhi was reading her a book while Y/n was doing her hair.

Y/n was finishing off Kirimi's blond hair with a hair tie. "Alright, Kirimi-Chan, ready to see your hair?"

"Yeah!" The child smiled, causing Y/n's lips to tug upwards.

Y/n handed the small girl a hand mirror. She has already done five different hairstyles for Kirimi, but with each style the little girl wasn't impressed.

"I don't like it." The girl said unenthusiastically, her smile dematerialized and she handed the mirror back to Y/n.

The shoulder length brown haired girl flinched at the nonacceptance, the small tug on her lips faltering. "But...but it's a braid. It's what you asked for."

"I don't like it." Kirimi duplicated the same turn of phrase. She rotated her head to the side to glance back at Y/n, exhibiting her big, pleading sky-blue eyes. "Please do my hair again!"

Y/n sighed and showed the child a small nod of her head, generating the little girl to smile widely and turn back around. Y/n undid the little girl's hair and began to brush her blond locks. 'Someone, please let me out of here... But honestly, I think Haruhi is getting the worst of it. She's reading so many books to Kirimi-Chan.'

Y/n didn't know what other hairstyle she could do for Kirimi. She has already done a ponytail, a bun, a braid, a french braid, and a half down-half up hairdo.

The brown haired girl exhaled heavily and began to work on Kirimi's hair. 'You know what... I don't know what to do anymore.'

Y/n parted Kirimi's blond hair into two sections and began to establish her hair together. The aftermath was pigtails, the hairstyle that Kirimi had before Y/n began to do her hair.

"Okay, done." Y/n passed the hand mirror back to Kirimi.

There was a pause of silence that lasted only two seconds before Kirimi showed a big and pleasing smile.

"I love it!"

"...A-Are you serious?" Y/n mumbled and looked at Haruhi with a stupefied expression. The two sisters shared a look with one another. 'I... I'm speechless. And not in the good way.'

Kirimi got up from the couch she was sitting on with the two sisters. "I wanna go see big brother!"

Y/n and Haruhi looked at each other once again. "Okay. Haruhi and I will go get him. Stay here, we'll be right back." She got up from the couch along with her sister and evacuated the clubroom.

Once they arrived to science room three, Haruhi opened the door, revealing Tamaki hugging a mannequin with a pink two-piece that had ruffles and a short brown wig supplemented the models head.

"Uhh..." Y/n began in a weirded out tone as she and her sister stood near the doorway. The only light that was evident in the room was coming from the door Haruhi opened, allowing the light from the hallway to seep inside the room.

"Excuse me." Haruhi's deadpanned tone caught the attention of Tamaki, Hikaru, and Kaoru.

Tamaki speedily turned to face the door and began to internally scream. "H-Haruhi, Y/n! Haruhi, you're the real one! But when did you two get here?!" He hurled the mannequin to the side.

"Kirimi-Chan came to the clubroom again today looking for you. If you've got time to do disgusting things like this," Haruhi's brown eyes looked like they had flames in them, "surely you can spare the time to hang out with her for a while."

"What? Disgusting?!" Tamaki gasped in terror with tears in his eyes. In a split second, he was in a corner with his front towards the wall.

Hikaru and Kaoru laughed hysterically as the word 'disgusting' repeated in Tamaki's head.

"Why don't you keep her company Haruhi, Y/n?" Kyoya questioned, standing a couple of feet away from them. "What's wrong--don't like children?"

"No, it's not like that at all." Y/n denied sincerely. "But this girl made me do her hair five different times and each time I finished off a hairstyle she'd say that she didn't like it and make me do her hair again. When she finally liked how I did her hair was when I did pigtails for her--the hairstyle that she already had before she even asked me to do her hair."

"And she's made me read about fifty volumes of shojo manga to her over the last three days. And to my surprise, those things really are full of reverse harems and debauchery." Haruhi affirmed.

"Big brother?" A soft voice called into the room.

Everyone turned their attention to Kirimi who was behind the cracked open door, peeking into the ill-lit room.

She whimpered as tears swelled up in her blue eyes. "This room is dark and scary!" Her voice trembled.

Y/n and Haruhi approached the small girl. Y/n crouched down to the blond girl's height and placed her hand on Kirimi's head in a comforting manner. "Oh, Kirimi-Chan! We told you to wait for us back in the clubroom."

Tamaki snapped out of his depressed state and advanced towards the weeping child. "What's wrong, little one? There, there, calm down." He lifted her up, standing in the hallway. "You see? There's nothing to be afraid of."

Kirimi giggled and Tamaki began to gently spin her around in the lit up corridor.

"Senpai?"

Everyone turned their concentration to Renge, then at Nekozawa who was holding a flashlight and had his back towards them.

"I am a handsome, princely big brother--I am a handsome, princely big brother--I am a handsome, princely big brother." Nekozawa continued to repeat himself and Tamaki made his way back into the room while putting Kirimi back down.

"And I'm not afraid of this flashlight! Self evil beam!" Nekozawa exclaimed and turned on the flashlight, making the light hit him directly in the face.

"He did it!" Honey observed in awe.

"Whoa." Mori accompanied in his deep voice and softly clapped.

"Nekozawa-Senpai's come a long way. He's able to shine a flashlight in his own face." Renge pointed out with a proud smile.

The twins bursted small party poppers. "Bravo, Senpai. Bravo." They congratulated indifferently.

Y/n and Haruhi clapped their hands with a smile. "Good job, Nekozawa-Senpai!" Y/n vocalized, moderately astonished.

"Yeah! I'm impressed!" Haruhi nodded with a smile of her own.

"You did it! Your little sister is going to be so thrilled!" Tamaki assured happily and pointed at Nekozawa. "Look there, Kirimi-Chan. That gentleman is your real big brother." He began to daydream about Kirimi and Nekozawa hugging each other.

"You're just complicating things. Could you please cut that out--it's not gonna help, you know." Haruhi told him.

"Huh? Did you just say something?" Tamaki asked, seeming to have not been paying attention to Haruhi, making Y/n sigh.

"Never mind..." Haruhi inaudibly groaned.

"Kirimi." Nekozawa initiated and gradually turned around to face his little sister.

Since the flashlight was shining under Nekozawa's face, it created some shadows under his eyes and above his lips, causing him to petrify the little girl in front of him into unspeakable terror.

Kirimi felt shivers go up her spine as everyone sweat dropped. She let out a loud cry and dashed out of the science room.

"Kirimi, wait!" Nekozawa dropped the flashlight as he saw his sister run out of the room and down the hallway, making him collapse on his hands and knees.

"Well that took a turn for the worse..." Y/n commented, still lightly sweating at the previous encounter of the two Nekozawa siblings.

"So I guess shining the flashlight in his face-" Hikaru started.

"-scared her and sent her running." Kaoru finished.

"Oh, Kirimi." Nekozawa breathed out in hopelessness, he then began to sob noiselessly, his forehead leaning on the floor.

"Nekozawa-Senpai." Tamaki called out his name softly as he looked down at the sad, fragile male.

"I've had enough." He acquainted. "Even if I continue your special training, there's no guarantee that Kirimi will ever accept me. I think she'd be better off...if you acted as her big brother in my stead, Suoh."

Y/n's eyes softened as she felt sympathy for the young man. 'This is so sad... Even though Nekozawa-Senpai is trying, Kirimi-Chan's still afraid.'

Tamaki took a step forward and began to speak in a serious tone. "But that's ridiculous--you're the big brother she's looking for. If you care about her, you'll do whatever it takes to win her over!"

The twins stood in front of the window as the electronic curtain opened.

Hikaru glanced down. "Hey look! Kirimi-Chan hasn't made it out of the courtyard!"

Kaoru looked down at where Hikaru was staring. "But there's something down there with her." As he looked closer he realized that it was a white furred animal that was in front of the small girl. "Oh, it's just a cat."

Nekozawa immediately turned his head to look towards the direction of the window the twins were standing in front of.

"Your family sure does love cats." Hikaru divulged.

"Even strays warm up to you guys." Kaoru added.

Nekozawa rushed up to the window, staring down at where his sister was standing in the courtyard. "What'd you say?! They're revered by our family--it's true, but Kirimi wouldn't participate in something like that. Something as occult as befriending a stray cat. Kirimi is afraid of animals, and cats are the creatures she fears the most."

"Crap-"

Y/n was interrupted by Nekozawa abruptly throwing himself against the window, making the glass shatter. Y/n's heart dropped as her mouth became agape.

"Kirimi!" He called out to his sister.

"Nekozawa-Senpai!" Tamaki shouted out after him.

"But he's not wearing his black cloak!" Haruhi stated in a concerned tone.

"Who the hell cares about the cloak! He just threw himself out the damn window! We should be worrying about the fact that he can break his neck!" Y/n exclaimed with her hands on both sides of her head, apprehensive towards the situation.

"Kirimi!" The said girl's older brother called out to her.

Y/n looked out the now broken window and she saw Nekozawa run towards his younger sister.

"Oh, it looks like he's fine..." Y/n mumbled as her hands dropped from her head.

"Kirimi!"

As Kirimi saw Nekozawa run towards her, she finally realized that he was her older brother. "Big brother!" She lunged herself at him, wrapping her arms around Nekozawa as she embraced him.

"Would you look at that!" Honey chimed in with a small smile as he witnessed the two siblings hug.

Y/n smiled, feeling happy for Nekozawa. "I'm so glad that this turned out well. That's such a sweet moment they're having together."

"This is all thanks to my special training." Renge credited herself with a closed-lipped smile as her hands were positioned on the middle of her chest.

The Host Club was silent when they noticed Nekozawa pass out.

Y/n's smile disappeared as she sweat dropped. "Oh..."

Several days have passed since Kirimi realized who her real big brother is. The Host Club stood in the clubroom when the door suddenly creaked opened.

Behind the door was a dark figure. That figure was Nekozawa. He was back to wearing his dark wig and black cloak. He wasn't there for long since he just stood there for a minute then walked away.

"Nekozawa-Senpai." Tamaki spoke with a hint of confusion.

"He probably got more sun than he ever will again in that one day." Hikaru stated blankly.

"That may be true, but he immediately went running for the darkness again." Honey held his pink stuffed bunny as Mori carried him.

"Yeah, we should've known." Kaoru remarked. "What a waste. He's back to wearing all those black clothes again."

"I wouldn't say it was a waste." Y/n disagreed as she continued to look at the door. "Kirimi-Chan now knows who her real big brother is. And that her princely big brother will always be there to rescue her." She smiled sweetly.

Haruhi nodded in agreement, a small tug playing on her lips. "Exactly."
