Here's chapter 2!!!

I don't own the characters of the Host Club.

"I'm going out dad." Emi announced at breakfast.

He raised an eyebrow, "Out to where?"

"Oh, just. . . out."

"I'm not letting you go 'out' unless I know where you're going."

Of course, she couldn't actually tell him where she was going, lying would be her only option, "Kyouya's."

"You've been going there quite a lot lately."

Going Kyouya's had been her excuses of late, but half the time she had been going to his house just to make the lie seem less like an acutal lie. She was actually going to see Takashi. For once, she was uncomfortable with lying to people about this relationship. Eh, she'd get over it, "Well, he's my best friend." Hopefully he wasn't getting suspicious. Kanaye was and he kept dropping hints about it. Her brother was not a secretive person.

"You spend an awful lot of time at your best friend's house." Kanaye said meaningfully.

Emi shot him a look, "Stop being annoying."

"I live to annoy you."

"Since when?"

"Since you were old enough to annoy me."

"I don't-"

"Cut it out you two." Their father cut them off, "You can go Emiko." He looked at his younger son meaningfully, "Any issues with that?"

Kanaye looked down at his plate, "No."

Something was going on between her father and her brother and she did not like it. Could they be keeping some kind of secret? That was the only explanation she could come up with, they had acted like that before, when they were keeping secrets. But she was keeping a secret too so she left it alone.

"Do you have any plans today Takashi?" his father asked.

"Yes."

"I hope they're not important because I have to talk to you about something important."

Of course, his plans were important, but something in his fathers' voice made him say, "I can." Now he would have to call Emi and explain to her that he couldn't see her today.

After he hung up he felt awful, but he didn't have time to dwell on it as his father entered his room, "There's some things you need to know."

It hurt a little that he'd cancelled their plans, but Emi realized now that she had to actually go to Kyouya's house. Or she could go somewhere else on the pretenses of going to Kyouya's as she had been planning to do anyway. While Kyouya was her friend, she didn't feel like talking to him right now.

Emi felt like walking through the park, it was what she and Takashi would have been doing anyway because it was such a nice day. She donned normal, non-designer clothes and headed out to the train station. She liked taking public transportation; it was an interesting glance into the lives of other people. Also you could always find nice people on the trains. It was mid-day and her train was one of ones less traveled so it wasn't very crowded.

"Good afternoon Emi-chan." An elderly woman said, "Come sit with me."

"Of course grandma." She sat down next to the woman she affectionatly called grandma. Aimi Murakami was seventy-nine years old with four children she raised after her husband died, and she still rode the train to her job she had worked at for over fifty years.

"Are you off to see your boyfriend today Emi-chan?"

"Not today, I'm off for a walk."

They chatted until Emi's stop came up, "I'll see you later grandma."

"Have fun Emi-chan."

It was a wonderful day out. The sun was shining, throwing everything into a different light for her. She shouldn't be so dissapointed that Takashi wasn't here, it was a beauiful day and she should enjoy it. There weren't a lot of people out, and everyone was with someone holding hands. Now that made her feel lonely.

"Hello Kichida Emiko." Said the voice that haunted her nightmares.

She whipped around, "What are you doing here?" she tried to sound brave, but the fear could still be heard in her voice.

"Nothing, as long as you do exactly what I say." yamada Ichiro said.

She looked around for someone nearby, but they were inconviently alone, "No."

"Really." He put his hands on his hips, pulling back his jacket revealing the knife, "I'm not here to hurt you, just talk to you."

"About what?"

He held out his hand, "Take my hand and walk with me." When she shrunk away, he took her hand and hauled her forward, "Don't look so surprised to see me. Your father probably told you I was back in town."

So he was keeping a secret, "Yeah, I just didn't think you'd show your face."

"I'm just here as a warning." He kept a tight grip on her hand and turned to face her, "I will destroy your life."

"Why?"

"Your father never told you?"

"Refresh my memory."

"Your father helped put my father in jail. Your father, Yuzuru Souh, Akira Morinozuka and Yorihisa Hanoinzuka. I want my revenge, and I will get it and you and all their children will suffer. But you and the Morinozuka boy will suffer the most." He pulled out a manilla envelope. "Just a warning." And he walked off.

Emi didn't have to open the envelope to figure out what was in it.

Pictures.

Pictures of her and Takashi.
