"HOLY CRAP!!!!!! GENJI!?!?!" they exclaimed and the twins dropped me onto the ground in surprise.
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DROP ME YA IDIOTS!" I yelled at them.
"Genji what are you doing here?" Tamaki questioned in surprise.
"What does it look like? I'm performing." I said snatching up my mask and wig.
"I should have known when you handed us tarot cards with our names on them Ms. Tarot." Kyouya stated.
"And we..." Hikaru began in horror.
"We actually..." Kaoru tried to finish with equal horror.
"Is it really such a mortifying notion that you were actually attracted to me?" I asked.
"Speaking of which, what was up with you earlier?" Haruhi questioned.
"I just wanted to give tweedle dumb and tweedle di a taste of their own medicine. Or rather Tamaki's. His technique was the easiest to replicate." I explained.
"Hey! My technique is not EASY!" Tamaki complained. "It takes time and hard work to get my technique down. Although if you weren't a girl you would make a fairly decent host."
"Haruhi's a girl and she's a host." I pointed out.
The entire host club stood stand still.
"What would make you think Haru-chan's a girl?" Honey asked nervously.
"I'm a professional performer. I know when people are acting. No matter how good they are at it." I replied.
"How long have you known?" Haruhi asked.
"Since my first day. Oh and yesterday the twins accidently called Haruhi a she." I said.
"You two. I should have known." Tamaki growled at the twins.
"We swear we didn't mean to boss." the twins defended.
"But don't worry. Your secret is safe with me." I said bowing slightly. "Even if you don't keep mine."
"Yours?" Tamaki questioned.
"I would really appreciate it if you guys keep this between us." I explained softening my expression.
"Why would you want to keep this a secret? What you do is cool Gen-chan." Honey asked.
"I live and work in a circus. People have made fun of me for it for years at my other schools. Ouran is filled with rich people that wouldn't be caught dead in Circus Della Wonders and I know Haruhi is too much of a book worm to come so I thought that I wouldn't have to worry about that anymore. Please don't say anything to the other students at school." I begged.
"Why would we want to do anything for you?" Hikaru and Kaoru demanded.
"Please." I quietly asked again and pleading with them with my eyes. "I can't take another year of being the circus freak. Please."
Tamaki took a step forward and held himself like a wanna-be-prince and said, "Genji, we are the host club. It is our duty to help a lady in need. You're secret is safe with us, Ms. Tarot."
"Thank you." I replied solemnly.
"But in return," Tamaki continued.
I should have known. A catch. Once a snob always a snob.
"We would like tickets to a showing at this Circus Della Wonders of yours." he finished.
Well this was a shocker.
"You want tickets to Circus Della Wonders?" I asked in shock.
"Yeah! We loved your performance today." said Honey.
Mori nodded in agreement.
"Of course we are willing to pay full price for our tickets." Kyouya said.
"Genji, come on. We're loading up." said Bruno walking up. "Well, look who it is. So you're the host club huh?"
"Yes. You must be the talented driver that's been losing us these last few days." Kyouya said holding out his hand to Bruno.
"Ah shucks. I wouldn't say talented. You guys are just bad at tailing people." Bruno replied shaking Kyouya's hand.
"What exactly do you do at the circus?" Honey asked.
"I do all the heavy lifting." Bruno answered flexing his huge muscles.
"And he moonlights as one of the clowns." I mumbled.
"I do not." Bruno whacked me in the shoulder.
"Now, now Brunni what have we talked about playing nice." said a delicate voice from behind us.
A woman in a bright pink outfit and long, flowing, blonde, hair came walking up.
"Hey babe." said Bruno pulling her into his arms and lightly kissing her.
"Oh get a room." I said.
"These must be your friends from school." she said eyeing the host club.
"Yeah. Guys this is Cora. Cora this is-" I began.
"Oh let me guess." Cora interrupted. "Tamaki, Kyouya, Haruhi, Honey, Mori, Hikaru, and Kaoru."
"He's Hikaru and he's Kaoru." I corrected her at the same time as the twins.
The twins stared at me.
"How do you know?" they demanded.
"I just looked at you." I pointed out like it was obvious. "Look, we have a show tomorrow at noon. I can give you tickets half off as long as the other half of the ticket goes towards Haruhi's debt."
"How do you know about Haruhi's debt?" Honey asked.
"The twins told me." I answered.
"YOU TWO AGAIN!?!" exclaimed Tamaki.
"We're sorry boss but we swear she's a trained interrogator." they protested.
"I have to go now but here's the address." I said handing Kyouya a flyer. "There are also some other times on there but I suggest the one at noon tomorrow."
I turned to leave but then Haruhi said, "Did you want to join us Genji?"
"Yeah we're going to go get ice cream next!" Honey said.
"You mean you don't mind if I come along?" I asked surprised.
"We would be honored if you came along." Tamaki said.
"Yes. I would like to talk to you about performing for the host club on occasion as well." Kyouya said.
I looked to Cora and Bruno.
"Go ahead kid. We'll tell your Dad and Asher where you went." Bruno said taking my mask and wig.
"Thanks." I told them joining the host club.
"Aren't you going to change?" Hikaru asked.
"Nope." I answered giving the twins a noogie.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well I'll be damned." Cora said as she watched Genji walk away with her friends.
"What?" Bruno asked.
"Don't you see?" she asked.
"See what?" Bruno asked confused.
"Genji is trying to re-connect with her past." she replied taking her husband's arm.
"How?" he questioned still confused.
"Never mind. If you don't see it, you don't see it." she said leading him away.
"See what?" he asked exasperated.
Cora laughed at her husband's frustration. As they walked back to the others she couldn't help looking back at Genji and the twin boys.
"Good luck." she whispered.
"Good luck? Good luck with what? Seriously, the animals make more sense than you some days!"
