Chapter One -

"Wait, I thought that we were hosting today." Haruhi Fujioka asked. She had entered Music Room 3 to find that nothing had been set up to cater to their frequent guests. In fact, the room was almost completely empty save for the host with glasses. Kyoya Ohtori was standing by an immense window, finishing a conversation on his cell phone.

"Okay, thank you. We will be there as soon as possible...Yes, fine. Give us a half hour...Bye." Kyoya hung up his cell phone and turned to look at Haruhi.

"Good, your here. Go get changed." He said simply.

"Um, into what?" Haruhi asked, completely confused.

"Into your summer wear of course."

"But why?"

Kyoya slightly chuckled. "Well I suppose you could spend the day on a yacht in your uniform but most people would prefer to don something more comfortable."

Haruhi felt like sinking into the floor' her brow twitching. "Y-y-yacht? No one told me about any yacht!"

"Oh really? Hikaru and Kaoru were supposed to tell you about this excursion yesterday. No matter you are here and we need to go."

The Hitachin twins and Tamaki then appeared from the dressing rooms. They were wearing shorts and casual shirts, obviously ready for fun.

"Haruhi!" Tamaki exclaimed happily rushing over to hug her. "I am so glad you are here! Daddy is so happy to see you!"

"Sempi get off me I can't breath."

Tamaki quickly released Haruhi from his tight grasp and began to offer her a ride to the hospital if she was suffocating. Haruhi ignored Tamaki (as she had many times before) and turned to the Twins.

"Why didn't you guys tell me that we were going to a yacht? I have stuff to do you know."

"Yeah we know. That's exactly why we didn't tell you." Kaoru started.

"We knew that you wouldn't come if we told you about it early. You would deny our invitation. But now that you are here go get changed." Hikaru finished, holding out a frilly green sun dress.

"You would look so pretty in that Haru-chan!" Hunny sprang out of no where and hung off of Mori's shoulder; peering happily at the dress.

Haruhi began to voice her protest but the Twins gave her no time and quickly shoved her into a dressing room. She appeared a few moments later wearing the dress and looking adorable. Tamaki's face turned bright red and he put his hands to his cheeks, fawning over how adorable his "daughter" was.

"Now that Haruhi is ready I suppose we are set." Kyoya said. "Should we go?"

"Indeed! Everyone to the Yacht!" Tamaki exclaimed.

"Hey! Hey wait a minute! I never said that I would go!" Haruhi complained. As usual it was useless and the host club dragged Haruhi into the limo.

Once inside the car, and without any hope of going to the supermarket, Haruhi began to ask more questions. "So why are we going to a yacht? As a matter of fact, how did we get a yacht?"

"Well we didn't get a yacht." Kyoya explained, "We are just using one of my family's yachts."

"Wait yachts? You own more than one?"

"Of course. We rent them out to many of our hospital patients for a relaxing vacation. We have found that the sea can bring people much needed healing from previous operations. It's also an easy way to bring in more revenue."

Ugh, there are always angles with him... Haruhi thought, reminded once again of the Shadow King's ways.

"The one we will be using today is my family's former private yacht. It went into retirement two years ago. Although it may not be as nice as our current yacht I think you all will find it most satisfactory."

"I can't wait to go out to sea! I have never been on a ship like this before!" Tamaki exclaimed, his eyes dancing with childish anticipation.

"Me too! I hope they serve lots and lots of cake!" Hunny was equally exuberant.

"Sounds good." Was all that Mori said. He was keeping to his usual, quiet self.

When they reached the country club the host club was greeted by many polite staff who knew that their pay checks depended on the happiness of the clubs guests. Kyoya was treated especially well since it was, after all, his family's yacht. But the staff certainly did not neglect the others and Hunny was soon given cake to eat and Haruhi was out fitted with a straw hat which matched her dress.

Boarding the ship they all explored the area while Kyoya went to clear a few matters with the chefs and captain. The interior was breathtaking. It was evident that millions of dollars had been poured into the ship. Everything was custom and the staff was seemingly non existent. The Hitachin twins were the ones to discover all of the staffs back ways and corridors.

The yacht left the dock about 15 minutes after the host club had boarded. While Hunny, Mori and the Twins all went into the galley for some refreshments Tamaki and Haruhi stayed up on the sun deck.

"It sure is beautiful isn't it Haruhi?" Tamaki asked.

"I guess so. I just don't see how people can waste so much money on one thing. After all who needs all of this space on a boat?"

Tamaki laughed, "Maybe your right but I think that this yacht is amazing. Later on we should have a water fight on the pool deck. I hear that the staff always keeps an array of squirt guns on hand."

"Well, it might be fun. I wouldn't mind cooling off a bit." Haruhi said, open to the idea.
