Yes, two chapters in one day. Since you guys like it so much, I thought it'd be nice to treat you to another chapter. Enjoy.

Sora Hikari did not want to be in the Host Club. He was only there for two reasons:

His best friend, Riku Gallagher, had forced him to.

He was too scared of Isa Thornton to try to leave.

It was a problem, particularly in lieu of Sora's 'condition'. Whenever he got near a pretty girl that he liked, his leg immediately began to cramp up. His father, Squall, who preferred to go by Leon, jokingly referred to it as the 'Laguna syndrome'. Leon's father, Laguna Loire, had the same affliction as Sora.

"So, did you have any Laguna moments at school today?" Leon asked him when he got home.

Sora shook his head. "None of the girls today caught my eye, so no leg cramps."

"Awww…" Sora's mother, Rinoa Heartilly, said, walking into the room carrying a plate of muffins. "My little boy's a player."

"I'm not little, Mom," Sora objected, "and nor am I a player. I don't even want to play the game."

"Dammit!" Leon yelled. "Guess what I just lost?!"

"Ah! Dad!"

Leon roared with laughter; that was stopped by his wife ramming a muffin into his mouth.

"Mmmmf mmm mmmm mmmmf!" Leon protested.

Sora and his mother laughed just as loudly as Leon just had.

**KH**

The next day, the Host Club was joined by their newest member, the mysterious Kai Hart.

"So Kai," Axel said to the new guy, "where ya from?"

"Radiant Garden, originally," Kai replied in his tenor voice.

"Originally?" Riku asked, his eyebrow raised quizzically.

"My dad, Terra, moves around a lot for his work. So we moved from Radiant Garden to Hollow Bastion, then to Twilight Town, now here."

Roxas whistled.

"That's some travel résumé," Ventus marvelled.

"Indeed," Isa said in his low, drawling voice. "That may be exactly what this Host Club needs." He looked around. "Incidentally, we open up in about…" He checked his watch. "…five minutes."

"What?!" Sora shouted, his mouth agape.

"Relax, Sora…"

"…I doubt that any girl's gonna make you…"

"…cramp up," the McCartney Brothers placated him.

"Sure," Sora replied unenthusiastically.

"Oh, before I forget, Kai…" Axel mused.

"What?"

"Is Kai…short for something?"

Sora was sure he saw panic in the new guy's eyes. "Uh…yeah. Kaito."

Axel grinned. "Pleasure to finally meet you, Kaito Hart!"

"Places, people!" Riku shouted suddenly in a camp voice. Kaito gave him a look, but said nothing.

Lazily, Sora went to his couch and lay back, his eyes closed. He was particularly tired that day, after not getting much sleep the night before. He'd eaten too many of his mother's muffins.

He felt a tap on his shoulder. "Are you Sora Hikari?" a girl's voice asked. Ponderously, Sora got out off the couch and looked at who had been speaking to him.

It was a girl, inevitably in the uniform of Destiny High. Her hair was long and blonde, tied in a large ponytail, with braids all through it. Her eyes held a barely contained mirth.

"My name's Rikku Strong. I'm new here. Nice to meet you." She extended her hand.

Sora did not shake her hand. He didn't even speak to her. He just stared at her. Eventually, he did speak. And loudly.

"LEG CRAMP!"

**KH**

The yell broke Kairi's bemused reverie.

"LEG CRAMP!"

Everyone in the room glanced over at Sora, who was lying on the floor, clutching his right leg. A blonde girl stood in front of him, confusion and worry all over her face.

"Don't worry, miss," Riku said consolingly. "You should take this as a compliment. Sora's leg only cramps up for the really pretty girls."

The girl turned to him; her eyes widened. "Riku!"

"Rikku? It is! Rikku!" Laughing, he enveloped her in a bear hug, which she returned.

"I'm confused," Kairi murmured.

"I get the feeling…"

"…that they know each other," the McCartney Brothers mused.

"I know that, but…they're both named Riku?"

"No," Isa said behind her. She, Roxas and Ventus jumped. "He is named Riku. Her name is Rikku."

"That doesn't help us!" Roxas protested.

Isa chuckled lowly. "There are two 'k's in her name, meaning it is pronounced differently to Mr Gallagher's."

"Still not helping," Ventus complained.

Isa face palmed and walked off.

"Guys, I want you to meet an old friend of mine, Rikku Strong."

"You pronounced that differently to your own name," Ventus murmured.

"Called it," Isa said loudly.

"Rikku, this is Axel, Ventus, Roxas, Isa and Kaito."

Rikku smiled in turn to each of them, but her gaze caught on Kairi. She heard the blonde girl's breath catch. This might be a problem, Kairi thought.

"Say Rikku," Riku said then, "you wanna catch up after I'm done here? You know, as friends?"

"S-sure," Rikku stuttered, her eyes still on Kairi. One of the other girls that Rikku had entered with, a girl with short silver hair, grabbed the blonde's wrist to drag her out of the room.

When Rikku was gone, Riku gave Kairi and Sora glances, then broke out in a grin. "This is perfect!"

"What is?" Roxas and Ventus asked.

"Let's look at it this way. Sora likes Rikku, right?"

"How can you tell?" Kairi asked him.

"His leg cramped up. You know, his 'syndrome'?"

"Oh yeah."

"Also," Riku continued, "Rikku likes Kaito."

"Wh-what?!" Kairi stammered.

"You mean you didn't know?" Riku asked, grinning. "This has all the makings of a 'love-triangle' romantic comedy!"

"What does that…"

"…make us?" the twins asked.

"That makes the three of you…" He paused dramatically before pointing at the twins and Axel. "…the homosexual supporting cast!"

"The homo-what?!" Axel demanded.

"All the great romantic comedies have them," Riku placated him.

Axel looked at him briefly, before growling, "I'm going to kill you."

"What does that make you, Riku?" Roxas wanted to know.

"Why, the best friend the girl turns to when her relationships with the two other men in her life fail, of course!"

"So, if she gets her heart broken over us, you're just gonna swoop in?" Kairi demanded.

"That's the way of the lady-killer, bro."

Kairi wanted to slap him. Definitely not my type, she glowered in her mind.

**KH**

"I believe it may be time for the Host Club bonding session," Isa proclaimed later.

"Bonding session?" Kairi asked.

"Whenever the Host Club gets a new member…"

"…we go on a little camping trip," the McCartney Brothers replied.

"It makes sure that we all get along," Axel added. "Got it memorized?"

"I'm not sure that's a good idea," Sora murmured. The cramping in his leg had stopped.

"Why not, Sora?" Riku asked.

"You guys remember when the twins joined up?"

There was a chorus of "Oh yeah" from everyone except Kairi.

"That is why we are going nowhere near a beach this time, Sora," Isa placated him. "This time it's a camping trip."

"Camping? Seriously?" Clearly Axel was less than impressed with the idea.

"What's wrong, Axel?" Kairi asked him.

"Axel spends a lot of time on his hair," Roxas explained.

"Just one of the many quirks you'll learn about very soon, Kaito," Ventus added.

"We'll be spending our trip in small shacks built for two," Isa explained the plan. "I've already organised who will be rooming with who. The twins will be together, of course."

"Sweet!" the McCartney Brothers high-fived each other.

"Riku, you're with Axel," Isa continued.

"Yay," Axel said unenthusiastically.

"Yippee," Riku said just as unenthusiastically as Axel.

"I'll be on my own, which leaves Sora and Kaito."

Kairi's eyes widened. This could be troublesome. Almost as bad as the whole 'Rikku-having-a-crush-on-her' issue.

Sora still did not look happy with the idea of the trip. Clearly, this wasn't going to be fun.
