"Huh? Somebody's out to get Mori-Senpai?"

Currently, Kasanoda has revealed to the Host Club that there's someone trying to harm Mori due to what happened that day in the courtyard--allegedly someone pushed a flowerpot off the second floor window so it would end up of the tall, silent, raven haired third year.

"No doubt about it." The red haired first year confirmed to Tamaki's question. "I was there and saw everything. He's obviously gotten on somebody's bad side."

Tamaki, Kyoya, the Hitachiin twins, Haruhi, and Y/n were seated on the couch across from Kasanoda while Mori and Honey sat at a table so the golden-blond haired boy can ingest his piece of cake.

"Nah, that's impossible." Hikaru denied simply.

"There's no way Mori-Senpai would ever be on someone's bad side." Kaoru defended.

"How can you be so sure? You don't know that!" Kasanoda endured substantially.

"Don't you worry your pretty, little head about that." Tamaki began, now standing near a whiteboard with the twins and Honey. "'Operation Bossa Nova's total image makeover' is in full-effect as of right now!" He positioned a pointing stick at the jottings that were written on the marker board.

"Yes, sir!" The twins and Honey saluted.

"Hold on! What the hell are you talkin' about?" Kasanoda got to his feet rather expeditiously with an irritated expression on his face. "Whaddya mean you're startin' 'right now'? You tryin' to pretend that yesterday never happened? Thanks to yesterday's 'makeover', people were even more afraid of me than they usually are!"

"Now hold on a second. Let me explain, Bossa Nova." Tamaki slid up behind the red haired male with a collective demeanor, his arms crossed over his chest as his back faced the intimidating-looking young man. "We all support you and we're behind you one-hundred-percent. Yesterday, the twins were just getting a little carried away. I hope you'll forgive them."

Kasanoda glanced down at the floor. "I'm sorry. I will follow your lead from here on out."

With that being said, the hosts appeared within close range of the whiteboard and began to discuss some plans for Kasanoda's new aspect, excluding Y/n and Haruhi, who were approaching the red haired male.

"Hey Casanova?" Haruhi pronounced the said males name incorrectly while holding a tray in her hands, gaining the young man's attention, who was once again seated on the red couch.

"I wouldn't really rely on them that much. They're not the brightest out of the bunch, you know." Y/n advised with a small, affable smile.

"Well thank you but Morinozuka recommended these guys to me. Besides, I don't have much of a choice, without their help I got nothin'." Kasanoda acknowledged and turned his head to stare at the two sisters in realization. "Hey, I don't think I've met you two before. What were your names?"

Haruhi placed down a cup of tea in front of Kasanoda. "I'm Haruhi Fujioka."

"And I'm his sister, Y/n Fujioka. We're also first years." Y/n introduced as she and Haruhi sat next to him--Haruhi sat on the right side of the couch and Y/n was settled down next to her.

"Just like you, Y/n and I were admitted when we got to high school." Haruhi stated with a calm, friendly comportment. "Guess the three of us are buddies."

"So Haruhi, Y/n, do you like to play kick the can?" Kasanoda quizzed aimlessly, minimal eagerness in his tone.

"I used to love playing it as a kid, but I'm not too obsessed with it. Although, I would never turn down an offer to play a fun game of kick the can." Y/n discoursed with a small chuckle.

"Well, um, to be honest, it's not my favorite thing in the world." Haruhi initiated. "But, like what Y/n said, it might be fun once in a while." She glanced at Kasanoda from the corner of her eye.

A small blush crept up onto his cheeks and his eyebrows faintly twitched as he kept his eyes on the short haired female beside him.

Haruhi turned her head to look at the young man seated next to her once she didn't hear a response. "What is it?"

Y/n raised an eyebrow as she observed Kasanoda leisurely turn his head away from her sister and look straight ahead. 'What's up with him? He was fine just a minute ago.'

"Bossa Nova!" Tamaki abruptly called out to the red haired first year.

"Yes?" Kasanoda's voice sounded like it was on the verge of cracking as he sweat dropped profusely and swiftly turned his head to look at the rest of the Host Club members, who were standing beside the couch.

"I think we've finally come up with something that'll change your 'tough guy' image." The blond haired male informed with his thumb and index finger below his chin in a thoughtful manner.

A couple seconds later, a pair of cat ears were placed on Kasanoda's head and a cat antique was situated on the couch where the red haired boy once sat. All of the hosts stood in front of him as the room became soundless.

'Yeah... The cat ears aren't working. What were they thinking?' Y/n pondered as she stared at the high schooler, who was now wearing a cat-eared headband, with a vacant expression.

"A cat-monster." Honey opined with a blank definition on his facial features.

"Well that didn't work." Tamaki whispered as he and the hosts turned their backs to Kasanoda, who was also exposing the back of his true blue-purple blazer. "I don't know what went wrong. Renge said the kitty ears were all the rage. She said that they were a perfect lovely item. What could've happened?"

"Be realistic." Kyoya began rationally. "Putting kitty ears on him isn't going to affect how people perceive him. He still looks mean."

"No kiddin', that was pretty lame, boss." Hikaru commented.

"For real. If you're going to take it that far-" Kaoru started as he and his brother rotated around to stare at Kasanoda's back as they held either of the sleeves to a maids dress that they suddenly had in their grasp.

"-you might as well go all the way and make him a kitty-eared maid!" They finished in unison.

An annoyed expression took over Kasanoda's face. "Are you guys making fun of me?"

Without any warning, the door to music room three opened, revealing a man who has light skin and light brown hair held in a thick, high ponytail that reached just below his shoulders. He has grey eyes and a bandaid on his left cheek.

"Sorry to bother you but is the Young Lord Kasanoda in here?" The unknown individual questioned and immediately caught sight of the boy he was seeking for. Kasanoda was shown wearing the maid dress with the cat ears still attached to his head, making the light brown haired males jaw drop for a second as his expression altered into a timid one. "So here you are-"

Kasanoda quickly approached the man who was looking for him and grabbed him by the collar of his jacket, releasing a shout of anger due to his embarrassment.

"Sir, it's no big deal." The male with long hair nervously began, slowly bringing his hands up in assurance. "You can do whatever you want in your spare time."

"What?! Do you think this is a hobby of mine?! Damn it! I can't take this anymore!" Kasanoda exclaimed, feeling humiliated. He forcefully removed the cat ears from his head and threw them on the floor, instantly darting out of the music room.

"Young Lord? Young Lord!" The light brown haired male followed him and the clubroom's doors came to a close.

Haruhi and Y/n walked towards the abandoned cat ears, crouching down in front of it as the short haired female picked the headband up.

"I don't think a new appearance is what Kasanoda needs." Y/n expressed her opinion as she placed her hand on Haruhi's shoulder, keeping her brown eyes on the cat-eared head accessory.

"I think you're right." Honey agreed as he walked towards the two sisters, squatting down beside Haruhi. "I sure hope he realizes it soon."

- - - -

Y/n and Haruhi walked outside to where the fountain was located and saw the red haired male they have been searching for seated on one of the stone stair steps.

"Is that a sparrow?" Haruhi's voice chimed, catching the attention of Kasanoda as she and her sister stood behind him.

"Oh, H-Haruhi, Y/n? What're you doin' here?"

The Fujioka siblings disregarded Kasanoda's question. "So what happened to him? Your sparrow?"

"I saw it fall from it's nest the other day. I could tell it was hurt so I took it to the vet. They said he'd be fine in no time." Kasanoda explained as Haruhi sat next to him on the steps, Y/n settling herself down beside her sister.

"That was very kind of you." Y/n smiled softly and her sister wordlessly agreed.

"Aww." Haruhi looked at the small bird that was resting on the palm of Kasanoda's hand before glancing up at him. "So, uh, do you mind if I feed it?"

A small blush appeared on Kasanoda's cheeks as he avoided eye contact with the short, brown haired female. "Uh, go ahead..."

As Haruhi fed the small bird on the palms of her hands, Y/n lightly trailed her index finger to the little bird's head all the way down to its small back. Suddenly, Kasanoda began to frantically scratch his head, making his hair look rumpled.

Y/n noticed the first year's actions, making her finger remove itself from the sparrow she was caressing and sweat drop. 'What the hell is wrong with him...?'

Out of nowhere, a can was hurled towards Kasanoda, Haruhi, and Y/n. The three of them not realizing it until a familiar voice warned them about the ceaseless object.

"Look out!" Honey rushed towards the can and kicked it, making the can lose momentum and release the red paint that was inside of it onto Haruhi's left uniform sleeve and onto Y/n's right blazer sleeve.

The sparrow that was on Haruhi's hand took flight due to the sudden intrusion of the can.

"It flew away..." Haruhi mumbled as she, Y/n, and Kasanoda witnessed the small bird soar away.

A faint smile appeared on Kasanoda's face. "It flew away..."

"Ahh! Haruhi, Y/n, what happened?!" Tamaki screeched in panic as he came into view beside the two sisters, Kyoya standing a fair distance behind the blond haired male. "That's not blood, is it?!"

"Calm down." Y/n suggested, standing up from where she was sitting on the stair steps along with her sister.

"It's just a little paint." Haruhi apprised, making the president of the Host Club become motionless as his panicked behavior came to an end.

Kasanoda stood up as well, examining the two sisters. "Hey are you sure you're all right, Fujioka's?"

Haruhi and Y/n hummed in reassurance. "Mhm."

"Let go of me, you bastard!"

"Damn it! You big behemoth!"

The two unfamiliar voices caught the attention of the small group, making them turn their gaze to two male high schoolers, who were being held by Mori.

"You're playin' dirty, Kasanoda!" The boy with tawny-brown hair exclaimed. "First you go and kidnap our gang boss's kid and then you make us deal with your damn musclebound lackeys? We know that you kidnapped the kid. Just give him back, now!"

"We've heard enough outta you. We'll shut you up!" Hikaru and Kaoru appeared with ropes in their hands and began to tie the two intimidating high schoolers with the said ropes. "Tying, tying, tying, tying, tying...!"

"What the hell is goin' on here?" Kasanoda demanded gingerly.

"Don't you get it?" Honey began in a gentle tone and with a soft smile on his lips as he glanced up at the red haired male. "See Takashi wasn't on anyone's bad side. These guys were after you. Until we caught them, we decided not to say anything to you because we didn't want you to have to mess with them."

Mori moved to stand next to his cousin as the twins finished tying the two, troublesome males.

Kasanoda slowly approached Honey and Mori, a distant and disbelieving look on his face. "I can't believe it. So, you helped me? But how come?"

The tall, dark haired, third year student gently placed his hand on top of Kasanoda's head. "We can tell who the bad guys are by lookin' at 'em."

Haruhi looked down at her stained uniform, examining her sister's as well. "We should probably go back and change clothes."

"Want us to come help you two?" The twins smoothly offered, sliding up in front of them with their backs facing the two brown haired females.

"Perverts." Y/n scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Drop dead." Haruhi spoke indifferently, carefully grabbing her sister's hand and walked away, heading back inside the school building and proceeding towards music room three.

"You dumbasses!"

The hosts turned their attention to the two male students that were tied up, witnessing the light brown haired man from earlier kick the two high schoolers after his loud exclaim.

"Sonny!" The two, tough-looking boy's that attended Ouran Academy called out once seeing the familiar face of the man who just used his foot to force them down to the ground even more.

"Shut up! You've said enough today." The light brown haired male scolded. "Don't you get it? The reason I left was cause I was sick of hangin' out with the likes of you. Now get lost, ya hear me?"

The two tied up students quickly wiggled away, a bit frightened of the glare the grey eyed man was giving them.

Kasanoda approached the long haired male. "Tetsuya, what's goin' on?"

"I'm sorry I've kept this from you, sir." The light brown haired young man, Tetsuya, kneeled down in front of Kasanoda. "I'm Tetsuya Sendo. I am the son of the godfather of the Sendo Syndicate. But I've always been opposed to the cutthroat way the Syndicate goes about handling it's business. One rainy day about a year ago my old man and I got into a fight and I ran away from home. I've never felt as anxious as I did that day. It was terrible. I had nowhere to go and the people who passed me on the street just ignored me. They pretended like I wasn't even there. And that's when I met you, Young Lord. The second I saw you I knew exactly what kind of person you were. After that, when I decided to join the Kasanoda Syndicate, you kindly accepted me. Young Lord, I know that you're more self-conscious and awkward than most people but I also know that you're more kind-hearted than most people. And it's not just me, everybody in the whole syndicate knows it. They just don't say anything cause it would embarrass you. I, Tetsuya Sendo, realized that I wanted to become more like you. That's why I cut all ties to the Sendo Syndicate and instead joined the Kasanoda Syndicate. I hope, Young Lord, that you will allow me to remain by your side."

The red haired first year stood there in silence with a vague look of shock on his face as Tetsuya continued to speak. "Oh, I almost forgot." He took out an umbrella and presented it to Kasanoda. "Your umbrella. The weather was lookin' bad so I figured you might need it. We don't want our Young Lord catchin' a cold. Everyone would worry."

A faint smile tugged at the ends of Kasanoda's lips. "Who would've thought..." He uttered under his breath before snatching the umbrella from Tetsuya's hand, his slender smile disappearing from his lips as he averted eye contact. "Uh, I'll just keep that with me."

Tetsuya smiled and let out an affectionate chuckle. "Yeah."

"What a great story!" The auburn haired twins cried into their baby blue handkerchiefs. "It's so touching!"

"Oh! I should apologize to the Fujioka's." The two brown haired siblings crossed Kasanoda's mind. "After all, it is my fault they got paint on them."

"Haru-Chan and Y/n-Chan went back to the clubroom to change clothes." Honey notified.

"Yeah? Oh, thanks a lot." Kasanoda expressed his gratitude and began to walk away. "I'll be right back."

Tetsuya got up from the ground and called out to the red haired student. "Hey Young Lord, think we can play kick the can later?"

Kasanoda continued to advance towards the school building as he answered. "Yeah!"

"We did a good thing, guys." Tamaki smiled contentedly with his arms crossed over his chest.

"What're you talking about? You didn't do anything, boss." The twins remarked with one of their hands on their hips, a straightforward expression evident on their face.

"Don't any of you care that Kasanoda went to see Haruhi and Y/n who is changing clothes." Kyoya reminded carelessly, his back being in view as he wrote notes down into his black notebook, making silence fill the area around them.

Tamaki, Hikaru, and Kaoru's skin paled as panic finally rushed over them. "Ma!"

Meanwhile, Kasanoda opened the door to music room three and peaked his head inside. "Hey, Fujioka's?" He called out to them, but there was no response. "Aw man, maybe they're in the prep room."

He entered the empty music room and approached the door that led to the changing room. "Fujioka's?" He placed his hand down onto the door handle and pushed it down, causing the door to sound out a small click.

"Hey, you two okay? I'm sorry-" Kasanoda cut himself off once he opened the door and caught sight of the two siblings--the sight of them making him blush.

Haruhi was currently putting her light pink undercover over her white bra, but paused once she heard the door open. Y/n, on the other hand, was picking up her new and clean, white button up dress shirt, her white bra also being exposed to the red haired male.

The two sisters' eyes widened once they saw Kasanoda at the doorway. Haruhi tightly held her light pink undercover close to her chest as Y/n blushed a bright shade of crimson and hid her body away from the young man with her white button up shirt.

"Get out!" The two sisters commanded.

Kasanoda remained motionless due to the shock that filled his body, his cheeks turning more red the longer he stares at the two siblings.

"Ma--Ma!"
