Thank you everyone for reading and following ^-^! This story will get better as I write, I've been out of the game for a while, and sometimes I lose track of time and train of thought, being a new mother does that to you. I don't own OHSHC, just Yukari and whoever else I put in that is not a part of the story.


It's been a week since Tamaki has offered her a spot in the Host Club, as a hostess, but she's been avoiding them like crazy. During class Tamaki and Kyoya would try and talk to her, but she would wear her earbuds and sketch in her book. It drove them insane that someone would turn down the offer to be a part of their club, but Tamaki was not about to give up just yet.

"Mommy…I have a brilliant idea to get her to join us!" Tamaki shouted, drawing in the strange looks that he was getting from the other classmates. Kyoya just sighed, wondering what his plan was this time, plus he was annoyed that he called him "mommy" in front of their class. "What's your idea now, Tamaki?"

"Since we are going to the beach tomorrow, why don't we invite her to go with us? No one can refuse an all-expense paid vacation to the beach!"

Kyoya sighed a little, as he pushed his glasses up, knowing this plan probably wouldn't work. He placed his book down that he was reading and looked over at him. "She refuses to talk to us, what makes you think she'll say yes to that?"

"Simple, we get Honey-senpai to ask her."

Ah yes, the cute Honey-sempai. It made sense to Kyoya now, he noticed that the only people she would talk to was Honey-senpai, hell she even spoke to Mori-senpai, that is, when he spoke to her. She seems relax when she's around those two, and she probably would more than likely say yes if they were to ask her to come along. That reminded him though, he needed to put in a phone call the person that does all the back ground checks for his family, he was very curious about Yukari and her family.

Tamaki followed her through the school day, but he knew the moment school let out that they would lose her and wouldn't be able to find her. So, he grabbed all the host members out of the class for what he called, an "emergency" meeting, which only seemed to piss Haruhi off, as she was trying to study for a test that was going to happen next week. Once he got everyone in the room, he flipped over the white board which said, "Operation get Yukari to join the Host Club. Aka, get her to go to the beach with us tomorrow."

"Tamaki, if she wanted to join the Host Club, she would've joined, you shouldn't force her to join." Haruhi explained, but as usual, they just talked over her and ignored what she had to say. Some days she wonder if it was even worth joining, even though she still owed them 5 million yen for breaking that vase.

"Honey-senpai, it's your mission to get her to come with us tomorrow to the beach, and we'll show her what the host club is really all of about. Can you handle this mission?"

Honey jumped in the air and cheered, he really liked Yukari and thought she was pretty awesome, especially the way she showed interest in Usa-chan. He looked up at Mori and grinned at him, and asked. "Do you really think I can get Yu-chan to come with us?"

"Hm." Mori agreed as he nodded his head. He wasn't much a talker, but he found her pleasant to be around.

The bell rung for class to be over, which prompted them to run out of the room to find her, but they looked all over the place and couldn't find her. They finally saw her two friends, Azusa and Honoka, and decided to ask them where she could have gone too.

"Azusa! Honoka! We have a very important question to ask you." Tamaki said, as he ran over to them, out of breath. The girl's eyes lit up with emotion when he had said that, of course they both thought they were going to ask them something totally different, as these girls were head over heels for these boys, but the moment that Tamaki started to speak, their hopes and dreams went crashing down the toilet. "We were hoping if you knew where Yukari went to?"

Honoka sighed a little, and shook her head no. "I remember she told me she had somewhere to be right after school, but I don't remember where she went."

Azusa snapped her fingers and looked at her, like she remembered something. "Oh, I know she said something about heading to the Zuko Dojo, but I really don't know where that is."

"Oh, I know where it is, it's near one of our mother's client's house, and we've passed it several times on the way there." Kaoru said, as Hikaru nodded his head to what his twin had said. "Yeah, we can take our car there if you like."

Tamaki placed his hand up, and shook his head. "No, if we drive up in the car, she'll surely notice us, we'll walk there…it can't be that far can it?"

It would've been an easy twenty minute drive if they had drove, but since Tamaki wanted to walk, it turned into an hour long walk, as they walked nearly ten miles. Honey-sempai had it made, since he got to ride on Mori's shoulders the entire way there. The closer they got, the more they traveled out of the rich people district into the areas where commoner's live. "So, this is what commoner's stores look like?"

Haruhi tried not to get mad, but she glared at Tamaki for what he had just said. "Do you have a problem where I shop at?"

Tamaki hugged on her, which she pushed him away. "Nooooo! Daddy doesn't have a problem at all." He cried as Haruhi walked away from him, which the twins just stuck there tongue out at him and walked on with her.

They finally made their way to the dojo, which was a small building, smaller than they had imagine. Kyoya pushed up his glasses, and looked at the place. "For someone of her social status, why is she teaching at this place?"

"Maybe she's really a commoner like Haruhi and got in on a scholarship as well." Hikaru said, of course, Tamaki jumped on him and covered his mouth, he saw that she twitched at that comment, and whispered in his ear. "Are you trying to piss Haruhi off?"

They startled to bicker, as Mori and Honey walked up to the window and looked in. They saw a kendo practice going on, but looking at most of the students, they didn't Yukari among them and wonder if they were at the right place. "Tama-chan are you sure this is the place, I don't see Yu-chan anywhere."

"Guess, we'll just have to go in and ask them." The moment they stepped into the dojo, they all got stared down, since they walked in on the mat without taking their shoes off, well, Mori and Honey took theirs off and bowed, which was what you're supposed to do when you step foot into a dojo. The class had stopped since everyone who was watching the two people train had turned their focus on Host Club. Tamaki stepped up and coughed, looking at the group. "Excuse us, we are looking for a young lady named Yukari, has anyone one of y'all seen her?"

The student had bowed to his master and sat back down with the rest of the students. The trainer had placed their shinai and took off the men, which startled the group when they realized who the trainer actually was. Tamaki and the Hitachiin brothers stared in shock, Kyoya was writing in his black book, Haruhi was surprised, Honey got excited, but most of all, Mori blushed a little when he realized that Yukari was the kendo trainer.

"May I ask what all of you are doing here?" Yukari was a little annoyed that they had showed up to the dojo, but she was even more annoyed when she looked down at their shoes on the mat. "Also, it's disrespectful to wear your shoes on the mat." She pointed out with anger. The group jumped up and ran outside, they figured it would be best to wait on her there. They watched as she bowed to each of her students, which all of them were young teenagers and came out eventually after changing into jeans and a shirt, and locking the dojo up.

"So, do you mind telling me why you're here?"

"You told us last week that you'd think about joining the Host Club, but you haven't gave us an answer yet, so we came out to find you and ask you."

She was surprised that they had come out all that way to ask her, truthfully she had forgot about that silly club, as she had other things on her mind. She rubbed the back of her head and laughed a little, which caused the group to cock their head, confused. "Oh, I'm sorry, I had forgot all about the Host Club. Between teaching my Kendo Class and cooking class, plus we had a kendo competition yesterday, it just seemed to slip my mind."

"So…that's why we've haven't seen you for the past week, and that explains why you've disappeared after school each day." Haruhi said.

Yukari nodded her head, as she picked up her bag. "Yeah, I had to prepare my students extra this week for the competition. So, since y'all know the reason why I left now, you all can go on home now."

She started to walk past the group, but Honey-sempai grabbed her hand and pouted, as Kyoya started to speak. "You never did give us your answer on joining the Host Club."

She stopped her in her steps, looking down at Honey and back at Kyoya, sighing a little. Between Honey-senpai giving her that puppy dog look and Kyoya, giving her the very cold and Shadow King look of his. She turned around to look at them. "I don't know…"

She was cut off by someone grabbing her shoulders and pulling her against them, as the sound of the person shielding her from what looked like a can of paint hit their body. Yukari looked up and saw it was Mori-senpai who had blocked her from getting hit by the can, but he was covered in black paint. He didn't look to be phased by what had happened, but he looked down at her. "Are you alright?"

Yukari blushed a bit and nodded her head, finally noticing the paint on his clothes. "M- Mori-senpai…your clothes…they are covered in paint."

"Hey, who do you think you are? You just can't go around throwing paint at people!" Tamaki yelled, as pumped his fist into the air, causing the three kids who were suspected at throwing the can of paint at their direction, to run away before they could find out who the three kids were.

"Takashi…are you okay?" Honey-senpai asked, as he walked up to him, looking like he was about to cry. He looked down at him, and gave him a small reassuring smile, as he patted him on the head.

Hikaru and Kaoru started to run after the kids, but Kyoya grabbed them both by their collars, shaking his head. "We don't know who they are, so I wouldn't go after them. Don't worry, I'll the Ootori private police force, they will find them and deal with them real quick. "He pulled out his phone and dialed them, which they said they would be in the area in less than five minutes.

Haruhi stomach started to growl and she laughed a little. "Hey guys, it's getting pretty late and it's about time for dinner, we should probably get going."

"Haruhi is right…it's getting late and I don't want stay in this neighborhood longer than we have too." Kyoya said, as he pushed his glasses and looked at the time on his phone.

Honey looked up at his cousin, his eyes full of tears. "Takashi…I'm hungry, can we go home now and get something to eat?"

"Why don't all of you come over to my house for dinner? It's the least I could do, plus I'll be able to get the paint of your clothes for you, Mori-senpai." Yukari suggested.

Haruhi waved her hand. "Oh, Yukari, we couldn't bear to intrude on you, we were the ones to come and bothered you at…"She couldn't even finish her sentence, when Honey jumped up on Yukari, and smiled up at her. "Yu-chan that would be wonderful! Do you think you could cook for us?"

"Of course, my house is just about ten minutes from here, we can just walk there. I'll be more than happy to cook for all of you, plus I make some delicious sweets just for you, Honey-senpai."

Honey started to cheer, as he followed her down the street. The rest of the group decided that they would also follow her, but it bugged the group that someone would attack them in the daylight. Of course, they would eventually find out sooner or later, especially since The Black Onion Squad would search the entire neighborhood until they caught who was the one who threw the paint can at them.

Yukari stopped in front of a huge mansion, sure it wasn't as big as Tamaki's or Kyoya's, but it was still a pretty decent size. It was a mixture of modern and old style, depending on what side of the house you were on. Walking through the gate, Haruhi noticed there were koi pounds on each side, which she took in the beauty of the fish in there. They were greeted by a young maid, who smiled at the group and bowed. "Welcome home, Lady Yukari, I trust you had a good day at school and at the dojo?"

She shrugged at the maid's answer. "It was alright, besides what happened earlier. Do you think you can show my friends where the living room is, and oh, my friend Mori-senpai got paint on his uniform, do you think you can get it out, Amaya?"

Amaya bowed. "Of course, I'll be more than happy to show them."

"Thank you, Amaya. I'll go cook dinner and let all of you know once it's ready. Please, enjoy and have a look around the mansion if you like."

"If you will please, walk this way with me." Amaya started to show them through the mansion to the living room. Once they reached the room, they all sat down on the couches in the room. She walked over to Mori, who was taking off his jacket and handed it to her. "I'll return this to you by the time you are ready to leave. Please, relax and enjoy your stay." She headed out of the room.

Tamaki got up and looked at the photos in the room, studying them very carefully. "It seems beautiful looks run in her family, she's the exact spitting image of her mother."

Kyoya had took several photos on his phone of several pictures that he was interested in. Something wasn't adding up to him, but he was determined to get to the bottom of it. He looked over at Tamaki, noticing the photo he was looking at. "She is, she would benefit the club really well, she'd bring in new customers."

Haruhi sighed, shaking her head at him. "Kyoya, is that all you think about? Is money?"

"Haruhi, if it wasn't for my account skills and keeping up with what we spend, the Host Club would've been broke in its first week of being opened."

Mori was looking at the photos with Honey sitting on his shoulders, they were looking at the photos of her taking after Kendo competitions and training. Honey was in awe over the photos and looked at her latest photo of her competition. "Wow, look at all these photos of her. I wonder if she's just as good as you, Takashi." Mori nodded his head in agreement.

"Hey, Kyoya, this picture here…the older man in it…he looks familiar." Haruhi pointed to what looked to be a family photo with a very young Yukari and, and a whole bunch of people. Kyoya walked over to the photo she is looking at, and took a photo of it. He was even more curious as Haruhi was, noticing that everyone else was looking at the photo as well. "Probably her grandfather or something, I wouldn't worry about it too much." Kaoru said, as he and Hikaru were looking at some of the other photos."

Hikaru picked up one of the photos and looked at Kaoru. "Hey Kaoru, look at this photo, it's a picture of her mother and our mother, it looks like they took this two years ago in Paris." Kaoru looked at the same photo, and nodded. "Yeah, her mother is beautiful." A grin came across the twins face, as Kaoru slid an arm around Haruhi's shoulder. "Of course, she's not as beautiful."

"As you Haruhi." Hikaru finished as he appeared on the other side of her. They proceeded to hug all over her, as she tried to fight her off. "Guys…get off of me."

Tamaki's face puffed up when he saw that, and ran over to them. "Don't worry, daddy will save you from those perverts." Of course, Tamaki fell right on his face, as the trio stepped away. "Who you calling perverts, boss?" The twins said in unison.

Amaya walked into the living room, smiling at the group. "Dinner is now ready, if you'll just follow me now to the dining hall."

Honey cheered as they headed to the dining hall, they could smell the delicious food as they walked down the hallway. Once they entered the dining hall, there was all kinds of sushi and a big giant cake, with strawberries on it. Mori had to hold Honey back from going straight to the cake and eating it all. Each of them sat down at the table, Haruhi was the only one eyeing the fancy tuna, and she was going to make sure she got enough of.

"Thank you again, Yukari!" They said all at once.

Yukari smiled at them, blushing slightly. "Oh you're welcome, but I'd have to thank Mori-senpai for earlier."

He gave her a small smile and nodded his head. "You're welcome."

They started to eat, which turned into Haruhi getting all that she wanted, and Tamaki throwing a fit over how cute she is and calling the twins perverts, who in return, call him one as well. Honey kept staring at that cake down, he really wanted to eat it all. "Yu-chan…that cake looks delicious, I could just eat all of it."

Yukari laughed a little, as she stood up from the table. "Honey-senpai, I have a separate cake just for you. I'll be right back." She disappeared into the kitchen and retuned a few minutes later with cake, which had three layers. The bottom layer was chocolate, the middle layer was strawberry, and the top layer was vanilla. "I had baked the cake and made the icing, but my chef wanted to help. He gets bored when he has nothing to do."

Honey just drooled over the cake, as Mori reminded him to eat all of his food first before he had dessert. Kyoya looked over at and smiled. "Yukari, I was curious, where are your parents at?"

"Well…my mother is attending a fashion show in Berlin and my father is currently in the states at a business meeting, they both won't be back until Sunday evening."

"Do you get lonely when your parents are away on business?"

Yukari looked down at her plate, she looked like she was going to cry, but she lifted her head up and gave them a sad smile. "To tell you the truth it does get a little lonely, but I have other relatives that live on the other side of the mansion, but they are also busy at times. That's why I teach twice a week at the dojo you were at earlier and a cooking class, it helps to keep me busy and to focus on things that are important."

"What made you decide to teach classes?" Haruhi asked.

"If you've met my parents, you would understand why. My mother loves fashion, cooking, writing and drawing, which I love all those things as well. My father is different, he's all about his business and kendo, so when I was younger, I started to take lessons, so that way I would have something to talk to my father about. I've grown to love it, I've won the kendo championships in the women division the past several years, and it makes me happy to teach others to love it." Yukari explained.

Tamaki placed his hands on the table and stood up quickly, nearly knocking his chair over that he had been sitting in. "Yukari, you are an outstanding woman, would you please consider joining our host club?"

She just blinked at him and sighed a little. She just really wasn't sure about joining or not still. "I don't know…"

Kyoya nodded his head, and looked at her. "You really should join us, you'd be a great asset to our club." Of course, when he said asset, he really meant, that she would be great in bringing extra money to the club.

Haruhi gave her a smile and nodded. "You're an amazing person, we'd like for you to join and be our friend. Trust me, you wouldn't get bored, not with these goofballs."

The offer kept sounding more tempting the second, but there was still a small part of her that was worried about joining. She was afraid of them finding out her secret and using that information to benefit themselves, that's what happened at her last school and the last set of friends she had made. She knew eventually that they would find out, but she still didn't know what to do. It was just all confusing to her, she was so use to being alone all her life.

"You wouldn't have to be alone anymore."

Everyone stared at the person who had just said that, the group was mostly shocked by what had just came out of his mouth. Yukari looked up and saw Mori staring at her, as he was one who had said that to her. She gave him a soft smile, she did like the fact that she wouldn't be alone anymore, and even though she was still hesitant on joining, she knew that she would just have to take the plunge and trust them.

"Alright…I'll join, only because you convinced me, but just so you know classes come first, so all of you can't be mad if I don't show up or I'm late, you got it?"

They all cheered, well besides, Honey, who had finally finished the cake that Yukari had made for him. Of course, they stopped cheering the moment Kyoya's phone was going off. He excused himself from the table to answer it, only to come back to the table after a few minutes on the phone. "Who was it, Kyoya-senpai?"

"That was my private police force, apparently they found the three young men who had threw paint earlier at us."

"Why were they targeting us?" Kaoru asked annoyingly, he still wished that he would've let him and Hikaru go after those punks and teach them a lesson.

Kyoya pushed his glasses up and began to speak again. "They weren't targeting us, they were actually targeting Yukari."

She looked a little annoyed when he had said that they were after her. If they had just shown up to pick a fight with her, she could've put them in their place.

"They fessed up to the crime really quick actually, but what they told them that it was payback for beating them up last week. Apparently, their so called "boss" Taki, was the one who put it all together."

Yukari busted out laughing when he said that, of course, she's already put them in their place once, they would use cheap tactics to get back at her. Hikaru looked at her, and wanted to know what was funny. "Uh…Yukari, what's so funny?"

"Those were the boys that were picking on Honey-senpai on my first day of school, and Taki was the one who threw Usa-chan into the pond. They mentioned that they were going to get me back for kicking their ass, but I had assumed they would've just fought me again, not throw a can of paint at me."

"Well you don't need to worry about them anymore, but it's probably time that we leave, it's getting late." Kyoya said as he dialed his driver to come get all of them.

They all started to walk to the front door, laughing and talking up a storm. Tamaki turned to her and kissed her hand, smiling. "Thank you again for the food it was wonderful."

"Yes, thank you again for dinner." Everyone else said. Hearing that made her happy, she was happy with her new friends that she had made. Kyoya turned around to look at her and smile. "We'll see you in the morning, Yukari."

Yukari stopped in her tracks, and blinked, looking confused at what Kyoya had just said to her. She must've not heard him right, so she decided to ask. "Tomorrow…don't you mean Monday?"

Honey jumped up in the air and laughed, as he hugged Usa-chan. "No, we're all going to Okinawa tomorrow, and we're coming back Sunday evening. Kyoya's family has a private beach there, so it's just be the club members. You're going to love it, Yu-chan."

Her eye just twitched at what Honey had just told her, surely he was kidding. "They have got to be joking? I just decided to join not even an hour ago and they spring a trip on me already…that's tomorrow? Seriously, what in the hell have I got myself into?" She was too busy lost in her thoughts arguing with herself to notice the car had pulled up and they were all leaving. She was brought out of her thoughts when Amaya had walked up with Mori's jacket that had just got finished being cleaned. She grabbed it and ran outside, yelling. "Mori-senpai, wait a second."

Mori had stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her. She ran up to him, holding his jacket out to him. "You almost forgot this, Mori-senpai. I would've felt bad if you had left with your jacket." He had taken his jacket from her, putting it on, noticing that the paint was completely out of his jacket. He looked down at her and smiled a little bit. "Thank you, Yukari."

She blushed when he had said her name, and watched him get in the car and drive off. She returned inside and got ready for bed. She had laid down, staring at the ceiling, sighing a little. She still wasn't sure about tomorrow, but it was too late to back out of the club now, plus she knew if she left, it would only upset Honey, and she really hated to see him cry.

"You wouldn't have to be alone anymore."

That single sentence replayed over and over in her head, it just wouldn't leave her thoughts. She could hear his voice say that, plain as day, yet each time she hears it, it sounds like he just said it.

She grabbed her chest and clutched her shirt into her fist, sighing a little. What is this that I'm feeling? It feels…weird. I've been taught all my life to discipline myself from any kind of thoughts, yet here I am…thinking about him. Maybe it's because he protected me today, even though it was only a can of paint, he still shielded me from it. Is this what it feels like to make friends with someone? Guess I'll find out sooner or later what all this means."


The sun shining high in the sky, there was not a single cloud to be seen in the sky, it was warm out, and everyone was enjoying the day. Tamaki was sitting on a rock with one of the beautiful locals, as he flirted with them, of course, Kyoya had a long line of the girls behind him, and he was keeping track of the women and giving each girl five minutes with Tamaki. The twins were playing volleyball, Haruhi was sitting under the umbrella, watching all of them acting stupid, while Honey and Mori were practicing karate moves with some of the other girls, or so it seemed.

"Is everything alright Haruhi?"

She turned around to see Yukari walking up to her in a black bikini, smiling down at her. "Oh yeah, everything is fine Yukari. Why aren't you out there, playing?"

Yukari laughed a little, as she rubbed the back of her head. "Since Kyoya brought their regular guest with us, he seemed to have brought some…other guest with him as well." She pointed to the group of guys that he had brought with him for her to entertain. Haruhi hung her head in shame of the group and sigh, she truly felt sorry for Yukari having to deal with this already. "I'm truly sorry that you're already being subjected to it, but I'm glad to have you with us."

"I'll be alright, though I better be going, I don't need the Shadow King to come over here." Yukari headed off where the group of guys were, as Momoka, Kimiko, and Ruri walked up to Haruhi, smiling at her. "Hey Haruhi, aren't you going to go swimming with us?" Kimiko asked.

Haruhi waved her hands and laughed a little. "No, I prefer to look at the ocean…from a safe distance." To be truthful, she really didn't like to swim, she'd much rather watch the ocean from a far and feel the breeze coming off the ocean.

"Well, if you aren't going to swim, do you mind if we sit and talk with you? We wouldn't feel right if we left you by yourself, while we swim." Ruri said, as the two other girls nodded their heads in agreement.

"Oh no, you girls should go swimming. I mean, you have such cute swim suits on, you should at least go show them off."

The guys were taking a break from entertaining their guest, they all watch the girls fawn over what Haruhi had just said, and finally decided to get into the ocean, after making her tell them again why they should go swimming. Kyoya was writing in his black notebook, eyeing the twins out of the corner of his eye, who were complaining to Tamaki, Honey, and Mori.

"I didn't think he'd bring the ladies." Kaoru said, as Hikaru picked up the volleyball, nodding his head in agreement with what his twin had just said. "Yeah, Haruhi can't change into her swim suit with them here."

Tamaki jumped up from his chair, glaring at the twins. "My little girl doesn't need to wear a swim suit out in public, especially with you two perverts hanging around her."

"We figured you wanted to see her in a swim suit, boss?"

Tamaki grinned, as he started to have one of his many day dreams about Haruhi and him, but they never do come true, no matter how hard he wishes for them to come true, it never does.

"Though, it seems Haruhi isn't the only one who is entertaining our guest." Kyoya pointed out as he pointed over to where Yukari was with the group of several boys for school, who were enjoying her time and attention. "It seems the women in this club are a natural, but I have a feeling the guys are flaunting over her more due to…certain assets."

Hikaru looked at her, then looked at Haruhi, back at Yukari, and finally back to Haruhi. "Where she is more attractive in a bathing suit than Haruhi, she still has and never will have anything over Haruhi."

Honey was collecting shell fish, and looked up at Hikaru, smiling. "I think Yu-chan looks pretty in her Kendo gear, what do you think Takashi?"

"Yeah." Mori nodded his head in agreement.

"Haru-chan! Yu-chan! Do you want to go hellfish shifting with me?"

Haruhi walked over, questioning what he had just said for a second. "I think you mean Shellfish hunting…and I don't think this is the beach is the kind of beach for that." Yukari walked over as well, agreeing with Haruhi, both of the girls looked down and noticed the entire shore around them was just covered in all kinds of shell fish. "What the hell?!" Haruhi yelled, while Yukari jumped up in the air, screaming when she felt a crab crawl over her foot.

Kyoya came around the rocks, where Mori had just jumped down from. "My private police force wanted to make it up to Honey-Senpai for what happened last week when he was attacked at the waterpark." Kyoya explained as he pushed up his glasses.

Everyone could see it in Haruhi's eyes when she saw all the shellfish. They light up as light as the sun, as she drooled a bit, thinking of dinner tonight. She stood up and started to yell. "Senpai, dinner is going to be awesome! It's a major haul!" Everyone looked over at her, just smiling at her. Haruhi has no idea how treasured she really was by the group, Tamaki was squealing over, he just thought she was so cute. "Ohhhh! Look at my little girl, isn't she just so precious."

Tamaki was staring at a crab and a small centipede wrapped its self around it, causing all the girls to go run and cry, well besides Haruhi and Yukari. Haruhi just picked the centipede up and threw it over the rocks, which caused all the girls to come back over there, fawning over Haruhi and telling her how manly she was and how cute she is. This intrigued the twins, who ran over to Tamaki and grinned at him. "Hey boss, do you want to play a game?"

"Uh…what kind of game?"

"Who can find Haruhi's weakness game?"

"That sounds a little mean…"

Hikaru shrugged as he walked off, with Kaoru right behind him. "Oh well, I guess she wouldn't tell anyone her weakness anyway." Hikaru started.

"Unless you're best friends with her." Kaoru finished.

Tamaki's face dropped and then he placed his game face on, staring the twins down. "What are the rules?" The twins started to grin evilly, it was too easy to get their boss riled up and ready to go.

Of course the guys started to talk about the game, as Kyoya somehow had photos of Haruhi from middle school, that got Tamaki and the twins going, of course Honey just wanted them to have because he thought she was so cute back then and Mori was tagging along because of Honey. They were all dragged to the caves to see if she was scared of the dark, Honey took her to the Ootori private police force truck, seeing if she was scared of enclosed spaces, in turn it was really Honey who got scared, Mori tried to get her with a sharp spear, but nothing really scared her.

"Hey, Yukari, do you want to go with us to the top of the cliff?" Momoka asked.

"Sure, I'll go up there with you." Yukari said, as they walked up to the top of the cliff. It was truly beautiful up there, the sun was setting just at the right time. She was happy that she was able to witness such a beautiful view, you don't get to see such beauty in the city that often, unless you have a perfect view of the sun setting over Mt. Fuji. "It's truly beautiful of up here…I wish I could see this view every single day."

"Dude, Toma, there are chicks up here." A male voice said from behind them, when the girls turned around, they saw four guys behind them, who were obviously drunk, as they threw an empty can of beer down on the ground. The guy who had startled them grabbed Momoka, grinning down at her, as she tried to push him away. "Why don't you girls join us for a little party?"

"Ewww…get away from me you drunk."

The other guys were pulling on Ruri, Kimiko, and Yukari, who all of them were pushing the guys off of them. They heard footsteps running toward them, be they had figured it was more boys, but the guy who had a hold on Momoka, was hit in the back with Shellfish, as Haruhi was standing by him, out of breath and an empty bucket in her hand. "Get your hands off of them!"

He jumped in the air when his back got hit by the shellfish, so Momoka pushed passed him, and raced over to Haruhi. "Momoka, go get the others, okay?"

She nodded her head and ran off to get them, as the guy who had Yukari, loosen his grip, as he was going over to help his friend, but he was struck in the face with a fist. The guy rubbed his face, as there was a noticeable red mark on his face. He growled at her, as he lunged back at her, she was going to dodge him, she lost her footing in the process, and stumbled backwards over a rock, landing on her read end.

"Think you're a tough guy, huh? What you going to do with those weak little arms of yours? We already lost one girl because of you, why don't you run along before we kick your ass."

Haruhi stood her ground, glaring at him. "That's not going to happen, just let those girls go now."

"Why should I do that?"

"They don't like it, and I don't blame them, all of you are a bunch of drunks. So, get away from them now."

Momoka finally found the boys altogether, who looked at her curiously once she reached them. "What's wrong, Momoka?"

"Haruhi...and the girls."

Tamaki jumped up, looking at her with a worried face. "What about Haruhi and the girls?"

"Ruri, Kimiko, Yukari, and I went to the cliff, and while we were up there looking at the sunset, these four drunks came up and started to harass us, but Haruhi came and was able to only get the guy holding me to let go, the others are still up there.

Before Hikaru and Kaoru could jump up from their seat to go save Haruhi, Mori ran off to save them, with the others in tow. They couldn't make out what was going on at the top of the cliff, but they knew they had to get up there before something bad could happen. Mori was always the protective one, but when had heard she was up there, something kicked in and he knew he had to get up there quickly.

The guy was hanging Haruhi over the cliff, growling at her for interrupting them. "You are a brat, you know that? Got some nerve for coming up here like that, you little punk." Haruhi was struggling to get him to let her go, she knew if she kept them busy just a little longer, that the others would come and get the girls.

"Haruhi!"

Her eyes got big when she heard Tamaki's voice, but she noticed the guy was loosening his grip on her, he had big grin on his face. "If you want me to let go so bad, fine, I hope you know how to swim!" He yelled as he dropped her into the ocean, but as soon as she started to fall, Tamaki rushed passed him and jumped in after her, he was determined he was going to rescue her.

Yukari kicked the guy away from her, but before he make an attempt to get a hold of her again, a big shadow loomed over him and snatched him up before he could do or say anything. "Hey, what the hell are…" Once he saw that it was Mori who picked him up, he shut up real quick. Mori threw over his shoulder, and started to speak as he helped Yukari up to her feet. "A real man wouldn't lay a hand on woman."

Honey had knocked out the guy who had threw Haruhi off, and the twins took care of the other two drunks, beating them nearly half to death. They walked down to the beach where Tamaki was bringing Haruhi out of the water, and Kyoya had just got off the phone with the doctor. Yukari watched the two fight, and sighed, as she started to limp off back inside. She noticed that she had cut her leg when she had tripped on the rock.

Mori noticed little blood droplets on the sand, and started to follow the trail with his eyes, noticing that it came from Yukari. She was nearly halfway to the mansion, but was startled when someone picked her up and started to carry her. "Hey…who the hell…Mori-senpai?"

He didn't look down at her as he walked inside and to the room she was staying in. "You're injured…" He sat her down on the bed, going to the bathroom to retrieve a first aid kit and started to clean the wound on her leg. She just blushed a little, looking down at him. "You know, you'd think someone skilled in Kendo would be also be skilled in other martial arts techniques." He was his usual quiet self as he worked on her leg. "This may sting." The moment he placed alcohol on her leg, she winced a little and but when she went to draw her leg back, he grabbed a hold of it, holding it firmly. "Sorry…"

"If the ground wasn't so rocky you could've taken them on…"

"Huh?"

Mori looked up at her for a second and back down as he started to dress her leg. "I saw the bruise you left on him, seems you got a good hit in. We've always practiced on tatami mats and flat surfaces, so I have faith in you that you could've taken them on in a different setting."

Yukari blushed a little and nodded. He helped her stand up, but noticed she was limping a little still. "Do you need help, walking?"

"Oh no, thank you though. If you don't mind, I'm going to get changed for dinner tonight." He gave her a slight nod and the moment he slipped out the door, she sighed a little. Yukari changed into a light yellow strapless sundress that stopped at her lower thighs and yellow sandals. She felt this strange feeling in her chest, as if her heart was in a vice grip and it just wouldn't let go. She placed her hand over her chest, and sighed a little. "What is this strange feeling that I'm getting? It hurts…it hurts so much." She pushed the thoughts out of her head, as she left the room and to the dining hall. There was crab all across the table, and she was hungry.

She took her spot across from Mori and saw Haruhi walked in, who drooled as well over the food. Of course, the food was the only thing good in that room, as Tamaki was sitting in the corner pouting to himself. It seemed like Tamaki and Haruhi weren't talking at that moment, since he got upset with her for trying to take on those group of guys by herself, which she got mad at the fact he kept using her gender against her. Yukari looked behind her outside and noticed that it was lighting a little bit, which fit with the kind of mood that was being set in the dining hall.

After the tension in the room, everyone started to eat, well expect for Tamaki of course. He just stared at her while she ate at least ten crabs, he had the look on his face as if she was going to snap him in half like she does that crab leg. Tamaki stood up and slammed his hands down on the table, arguing with Haruhi. "Fine, if you don't want to apologize to me, then don't. I'm going to head on to bed, Kyoya would you please show me my room?"

Kyoya nodded his head and stood up from the table. "Would you please excuse me?" He had excused himself and left the room with Tamaki, who just grumbled to himself. Once they had reached the room Tamaki was staying in, his photo started to ring. "Please excuse me, Tamaki." He had walked down the hallway where his room was and answered the phone. "What is it, Tachibana?

"Master Kyoya, we were able to match the photos up with are database and were able to pick up some history on the Lady Yukari Shimazu."

"Oh, what were you able to fine?"

"Well sir, her parents do match up to what you found, but we found out that her paternal grandparents, who are still living, are Mrs. Takako Shimazu, who is on the Board of Directors of the Prince Hotels chain and her husband, Mr. Hisanaga is research director of the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology. We didn't find anything special until we found a news article from 1963, three years after she was married, she was subjected to an attempted kidnapping from a Yakuza clan." Tachibana explained.

Kyoya pushed his glasses up and looked outside, this has peaked his interest for sure, but before he could ask his personal guard for more details, Tachibana started to speak. "Master Kyoya, I will have to call you back when I can, your father has asked for me." With that being said, the line went dead. He knew that her family was hiding something and wanted to know what they were keeping a secret, but for now, he needed to get a shower.

On the other end of the house, Yukari had watched Haruhi eat too much crab and run off to the nearest bathroom with the help of the twins. She was left in the company of Honey and Mori, who seemed to be enjoying his crab very much. Looking out the window at the approaching thunderstorm, she felt a tug on her dress, and noticed Honey was looking up at her, with teary eyes. "Yu-chan I really want some cake, but we don't have any."

She grabbed his hand and smiled gently down at him. "We can go make one together, if you like?"

"They don't have anything to make cake thought…they don't even have ice cream or even cookies."

Yukari sighed a little and looked outside, seeing the storm move in. She could go get something to make him, but it was getting late and a nasty storm was moving in, plus she wasn't familiar with this part of Japan. She could see him getting upset and that was probably one of her weakness, and that was seeing Honey crying. Before she could even mention anything, someone else spoke up, thought it did surprise her a little.

"Mitsukuni."

Honey turned around to see Takashi behind him, he looked a little irritated and tired. "You can go one night without any sweets."

To anyone else, they would just agree and go on with their business, but to Honey, it seemed like the world just ended for him. He tried to pull his signature crying technique, but it wasn't going to work on him, not one bit. He shook his head at him and gave him a disapproving look. "But…but Takashi…"

"You need to go to bed…Yukari doesn't need to go out in this storm just to make you some cake."

Honey knew that he wasn't going to win this fight with him, and sighed, walking off to his room. "Fine…I'm sorry Yu-chan."

Yukari patted his head gently and a small smile appeared on his face. "Don't worry about it, now let's head off to bed." She had followed them to their rooms, but saw Kyoya, Hikaru, and Kaoru stopped in front of a door with a disturbed look on their face. When they walked by, they noticed that Haruhi had ear plugs in and a blind fold on, and Tamaki was telling her what to do. In reality, Tamaki was just helping Haruhi not hear or see the thunderstorm, but to the twins and now everyone else, it seemed they in the middle of an S&M.

Kyoya noticed her walking past, he had pulled out his notebook from out of nowhere and started to write in it. Something wasn't right still to him, but he was going to get to the bottom of this, one way or another. He was determined to figure out what her family was hiding, who were her grandparents and what was the reasoning behind her life being such a mystery.


After an entertaining morning of everyone picking on Tamaki for last night, which he cries and tells them all that he was just trying to help her get through the thunderstorm, which Haruhi finally learned what S&M was and thought Tamaki was actually being a pervert, rather than just being a nice guy. Finally returning back to Tokyo, Yukari was one of the very last people to be dropped off at her home. She had gotten out of the car and saw that her maid, Amaya was waiting outside for her.

"Lady Yukari, I see you had a safe return back home, how was the trip there?"

"It was…actually fun, for the most part. I surely hope you weren't too lonely while I was gone."

Amaya shook her head no and sighed a little, showing her Lady through the gate. "No, but Lady Kimiko and Master Yoshihisa have been home for some time now."

Yukari nodded and walked into the house, and into her father's study where her parents both were, they looked at her and smiled. "Amaya told me you went on a trip with a club you joined, I take it you had fun?" Mrs. Shimazu asked.

"Yes, mother. It was actually a lot of fun, I've made several new friends in the past week. How did your fashion show go in Berlin?"

She nearly fell over from the amount of shopping bags her mother pulled out and smiled at her. You'd think she would have enough clothes, but she's always been told, that you can't have enough clothes or accessories. "It went really well, as you can see, I brought you back tons of clothes, as you can't have too many outfits."

She started to speak, but was cut off by her father, who stood up from his desk and looked out the window. "Yukari, did your kendo class make first place in the junior division?"

"Here we go…" She sighed and nodded her head, forcing a smile. "Yes, father. We made first place in the junior division. They have another competition in two more months, so we're training right now for them."

He nodded his head in approval, he started to speak again not turning around to look at her. "Good, very good. Now onto important matters, you have one year left after this of high school and I know very well that you don't want to take over the company, so I need an heir to take over."

Yukari was slightly confused at what he was talking about, waiting on him to continue, she was developing a strange feeling that something was going to go very…very wrong. She took a deep breath and braced herself for what he was about to say.

"So, after talking to one of my clients, I have arranged for you to marry his son. He'll be transferring to Ouran Academy this week from the states. His name is Otoya Yamaguchi and he'll be in the third year, you'll be meeting him tomorrow evening for dinner."

Yeah, she was not ready for what he had just said.

"You have got to be kidding me?"
