*Author's Note: This is the sequel to Here the Dark Ladies Come. I'm sorry that I had to make you guys wait so long! But I was experiencing major writer's block…Please forgive me. Anyway here it is and I hope you enjoy it! Please don't forget to review!

Alex's POV

It only takes a minute to have something to turn absolutely tragic.

One moment, you are enjoying life the next you are in a hospital praying to God that your cousin will make it out of surgery.

Life sucks. It is as simple as that. There is no complicated mumbo-jumbo swirling in the universe, it is just one giant shitty pile of goop that hits everyone.

I was fuming massively while I was pacing a hole into the ground.

We had been in this fucking waiting room for over 3 hours and none of these goddamn doctors were telling anything that related to our Chrissy-Tia. Grandma had rushed back home to get all of our other family members here. Yah, that's so smart! Bring all of the lovely little kids to a hospital and showcase Chrissy-Tia's misery or quite possibly her…

No don't even think about that! You know that Chrissy-Tia is a fighter! She wouldn't leave us like this…When I find out who did this, I am going to rip out their eyeballs and spoon feed them with 'em. Then rip them apart with my bare hands!

"Alex, please", pleaded Eva. I turned to her. She was clutching onto Kyoya's hand like a freaking life preserver. He didn't seem to mind. Must be nice to have someone cradle you and coddle you whenever you need it.

I wished for a half of a second that I could have what they have…Whatever! I don't need anyone's love except my own.

"Please what? Are you asking me to be rational and behave? We both know how that's going to end Eva."

She sighed at me. We both knew that it was quite possible for me to turn primal any minute. Being caged, beaten and raped like a wild dog had a tendency to do that to your system especially when you were furious.

The monster inside of me desperately wanted me to come and attack everyone. But I fought it down. I only growled. Everyone (besides my nearest and dearest) seemed shocked by my primitive sound.

To say that I was pissed; would be the biggest understatement of the year.

I just wanted to physically abuse something. I could tell everyone was giving me room to "breathe and calm down". Forget that! I wasn't calming down.

I surprised everyone by flipping over the waiting table. Magazines flew in every which way. Juices and waters sloshed over their shoes.

"I won't calm down until she is out of this goddamn hospital, and once they have caught that son of a bitch who did this to her", I screamed.

They were all startled by my rage, but I really didn't care.

I stormed off. Not even caring if they followed, or talked behind my back about my "temper tantrum".

They will never understand the depth of my rage. They have only seen my calm and creepy demeanor; and of course my occasional feeling of joy pops up. They have yet to see the true extent of how far my anger can go…

Kaoru's P.O.V.

I've never seen Alex so angry before…It's almost like she has been holding back her true self. I don't know what to make of it.

I don't know what to make of her…

What did she mean to Eva when she said that?

"I'm sorry about Alex"…

I turned to look at Eva.

"She often loses it from time to time".

"It's alright Princess, what did she mean when she said 'we both know how that's going to end'?"

Eva swallowed before she carefully said, "She had serious family issues prior to being adopted into our family. She was…"

Before Eva could finish saying what I really wanted to know about Alex. An older man barged into the waiting room.

"Is she alive?"

The man had a muscular frame, and a grizzled appearance. He had sharp hazel eyes and tan skin.

"Well hello to you too, Nikolai".

We all jumped and clutched our chests. We slowly turned and saw that their Grandma had just casually slunk in, without any of us being aware.

Damn! That old woman is creepy! At least when Alex does that whole creeper-ninja move, it's kinda hot…Well actually strike that! Anything she does is pretty hot!

Maybe I could design some sort of cat suit for Alex…Kaoru! Stop thinking like that! Alex is way out of your league even with all of her unexplained issues and rage. You have broken too many girl's hearts. Lied and tricked so many people. Pranked all of the innocent…Ha! Ha! I don't regret doing those pranks though. Still Alex is way too amazing to look at me in that way. Plus she's always super quiet around me…

Crash!

I jerked out of my inner musings.

"Damn it Aurora! It's your fault that this has happened!"

The older man was fuming at the Grandma. She merely narrowed her eyes in offense.

She calmly responded, "Be reasonable Nikolai. My presence here did not cause a breach with my mutual business friend. And it did not furthermore aim a bullet through Chrissy-Tia's abdomen to merely send a message to me and my business associates. Her wounds were the result of a coincidental side job of what her father has been doing with his political career to improve the world and mend some severed ties with our enemies. So Chrissy-Tia's wounds are not my business' fault".

Every time she says business, she says it too matter-of-factly. Her 'business' sounds fake. I wonder if I'm the only one who suspects this.

I looked over to the other Hosts and saw Kyoya's glasses flash. Hikaru's eyes narrowed. Mori-Sempai's fists tightened. Honey looked thoughtful. Tamaki even looked a bit suspicious. Haruhi looked a bit pissed off.

"Yeah right! Of course you deflect the fault, because as always you are the innocent little old woman", the old man known as Nikolai rebutted.

"How could this possibly be my bad, when my company's objective was to contact and deliver a message to a Mr. Ootori?"

"How convenient for you! An alibi for your absence, while Chrissy-Tia got shot by a dark figure…You shouldn't even call yourself a grandmother, much less a good person!"

"You bastard! I'm always there for my grandchildren and my children…"

"You are such a fucking liar Grandma! When was the last time you sat down and listened to us? And I'm not talking about over the phone or Skype. I'm talking about you actually hanging around us physically and being there for us…. Nope I thought not. I'm so sick of you and our parents assuming that the world is full of nothing but magical fairies…Forget this! I'm going to go back home and pack up", hollered Brandon-Lee.

"Why are you going home to pack?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm leaving and you can't do a damn thing to stop me!"

"You can bet your ass I will!"

Brandon-Lee just shook his head at her. "Sorry. You can't and won't be able to stop me from doing what I want to do. You are a pathetic excuse for a woman! You couldn't save your own daughter from being abused by her husband; you couldn't tell you own children apart…that's sad…Why don't you care about anyone else? You weren't there for any of our births, hospitalizations, holiday celebrations, and school events. Why were you never there for any of us?! You are always disappearing into the thin air…Can you tell me why?' He paused for a moment to stare at the older woman with almost a hopeful expression.

'…Yeah typical Grandma, can't even answer the simplest questions without giving away your great big mystery. I'm done with this! I'm done with you! Goodbye G-ma! It's been fun!"

Brandon-Lee stepped out of the waiting room and went out the door.

Dang! I never expected that!

"Brandon-Lee Karmazin! Come right back here right now! I'm tired of dealing with your punk attitude! I'm tired of dealing with all of this…"

"What are going to do stop him?"

I whirled around and saw Zackary shaking his head.

His almond-colored eyes narrowed, "You have no right to come here and start preaching to us about our attitude when you are the one who has all the issues…I'm sorry that you are a terrible guardian. I agree with Brandon-Lee 100%! You were never there for us. Why would I be there for you?"

Is this national "Attack Your Grandma Day"? Hmm…I'm sensing some hostility in the room.

He picked up his Nike gym bag and exited out of the waiting room into the hallway to follow after Brandon-Lee.

The fraternal twins came up to Grandma.

"We find you to be at fault for causing your grandchildren and children pain and suffering…" started Scarlett.

"…so we are all leaving you to head back to America. We don't want to deal with your shit anymore", finished Sebastian.

They both stomped out of the waiting room.

"Well I'd like to think that the children have all made up their minds about your worthless ass! Come on Ryder! Come on Jeremiah! Come on Carlos! Come on Grayson! Come on Isaiah! Come on Annabelle! Let's go! I'm taking you all home, so we can pack all of our stuff and leave tonight for America", stated Grandpa Karmazin.

"Grandpa, wait for me!" Makenna shouted.

The old man's eyes crinkled and said, "Of course. I would never forget about you!"

"Why are you all leaving?!"

Makenna's eyes glowed in a Chrissy-Tia fashion as she stated, "We don't want to watch anybody else get hurt by a bad guy Grandma, but don't worry I still love you with all of my 6 year old heart!"

She grabbed her Grandpa's hand as he ushered the triplets into their stroller and made sure that the other were staying close to him.

Once he got to the door, he stopped and said, "It's not too late for the rest of you to come with us".

"I'll think about it Grandpa", said B.J.

Kendall-Lynn and Chloe shouted in unison, "We're staying here to keep an eye on Chrissy-Tia!"

Emi stood up and surprised everyone by saying, "I think I speak for everyone, when I say we are staying. Japan feels safer than America ever was. I have to be here when Chrissy-Tia wakes up…I can't just up and leave her like all of you guys are doing. Just because she is in a hospital, doesn't mean that she's dead. The Host Club will help us, because they are like family and they love Chrissy-Tia as much as we do".

Wow! That's the longest I've ever heard her speak! I'm shocked that she loves our country that much. Then again from what I've heard about Eva's past of being abused by her own father! It would make sense that Emi would prefer a place away from all the pain…

"…Well if you change your minds…Just call me and I will pay for your one-way ticket back to the great U.S. of A", he said.

He swung the door open and departed with all of the kids in tow.

"I think I need a moment or two", whispered their Grandma. She ran out of the waiting room.

An ominous silence wafted over us for a couple of awkward moments, until…

"Do you really think that the Host Club is like a second family Princess?"

We turned to look at Emi for her response. She looked thoughtful for a couple of moments.

She is beautiful…in a perfect model sort of way. Her glowing caramel skin, her fit curves, and her constantly shiny black and blonde would make even Beyoncé jealous. However, I still prefer Alex, because she is naturally and subtly beautiful. I have been surrounded by models all of my life, and I have to say sculpted perfection annoys me.

"I appreciate how you guys care for my fellow sisters and my cousins, because no one at our old schools have ever genuinely cared about our feelings and who we are underneath of all of the fancy stuff we have. It's refreshing to have someone care about us like we are normal people", she said with a soft smile.

Tamaki's eyes widened, "Oh! My sister cares so much about her family and her older brother!"

He crushed her with his signature bear hug.

"Tamaki! Get off of me!"

Hopefully we will all feel better by the end of the week…I hope Alex will feel better and talk to me…I mean us. Why would she ever want to talk to me? I'm just plain old Kaoru!
