Chapter 3- "Sleeping Beauty gets publicity"

Amaya, Haruhi, Hikaru, and Kaoru are in the class 1-A classroom. Haruhi was napping in attempt to catch some sleep before the teacher came since she had been studying last night. Amaya was sitting quietly at her desk trying to write the script for the play. It was an exhausting job, having to be the playwright, director, producer, backstage personnel, and actor. The Hitachiin brothers appeared behind her, holding the school newspaper. Kaoru lightly tapped her shoulder. Big mistake.

Scratch!

Kaoru was in shock. 'What…the…hell…'

"Oh…my…GOD! I'm so sorry!" Amaya apologized, surprised and regretful of her own bizarre reactions.

"Kaoru! Are you all right? I should have never let you come near her. It's my fault," Hikaru started the brotherly love scene, embracing his brother.

"Hikaru…it's not your fault, I was careless," Kaoru replied, playing along. The girls in the classroom were squealing and 'moe-ing' with delight.

"Kaoru…," Hikaru's face inched closer to the scratch on Kaoru's cheek, which was slightly bleeding.

"STOP!" Amaya interrupted the brotherly love scene, earning herself many female enemies for that four-letter word. "Hikaru, don't lick Kaoru's scratch, it can get infected, and haven't you heard of AIDS?"

"How'd you know I was going to lick it?" Hikaru wondered aloud.

"Come on Kaoru, let's go to the nurse, and I'll get you properly bandaged," she dragged Kaoru by the arm to the nurse's.

"Wait, Kaoru!" Hikaru trailed behind them.

Soon Haruhi woke up, finding the girls in the class looking very angry. "Where's Amaya and the twins?" she pondered.

In the nurse's office, Amaya volunteered to bandage up Kaoru, from guilt.

"I'm sorry," she apologized again while applying some hydrogen peroxide on the cut to kill bacteria and prevent infections.

"It's all—"Kaoru was about to tell her that it was okay in order to stop her from apologizing.

"It's NOT all right! Why'd you scratch him up for?" Hikaru was quite upset that Kaoru was scratched for no reason.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it. It's just a reaction…" she was disturbed as well, for having such odd reactions.

"Scratching someone for tapping you on your shoulders is not a reaction," Hikaru crossed his arms.

"I know, it's just that I haven't been getting any sleep lately from writing the play and all, and when Kaoru tapped me on the shoulders, I was just surprised, that's all. I'm really sorry…" she peeled away the wrappers of the band-aid and placed it over the scratch.

"It's really okay, Aya-chan," Kaoru assured. "It's just a scratch. It'll heal fast."

"If you need help, you could've asked," Hikaru muttered, dragging Kaoru out of the room, but Amaya heard him very clearly and smiled to herself. The moment did not last though, because it suddenly hit her that class has just started, and she was late.

After school Amaya met the Host club in the third music room, since she has yet to find a room for her drama club.

"Oi, Hikaru, Kaoru, did you guys have something to say to me this morning?" she suddenly remembered.

Hikaru just handed her the school newspaper. The headline read, "Host Club to perform with the sole member of the Drama club". The contents of the story revealed many details pertaining to the play, and reasons for the Host Club's involvement.

"Eh? How does the press know all this?" she questioned, to one in general, but still expected an answer.

"This afternoon, Honey-sempai was talking to Mori-sempai about the play and their roles. It just so happened that Komatsuzawa Akira, the chairman of the newspaper club was also present at the time and overhead their conversation," Kyouya explained.

"If you knew, why didn't you stop them from publicizing this information?" Amaya inquired, slightly amused.

"I didn't feel the need to," Kyouya replied in a tone that suggested, 'end of discussion'. Amaya sweat dropped from that. Suddenly…

High-Power Motor

"Oh hohohoho-oh ho hoh ho hoh," Renge laughed, making her signature entrance, with a circular patch of the floor leveling up.

"Ah, Renge you're here!" Amaya happily cheered. (The two were good friends.)

"I heard everything, and the publicity is not a bad thing!" Renge suddenly said.

"Really, I thought that since if the play thing is publicized so fast, it would put pressure on us, especially if the fan girls come to watch rehearsals. It would be so distracting…," Amaya acknowledged.

"But, it would guarantee you some future members," Renge winked.

"Ooooh, right, gotcha!" Amaya smiled. "Anyway, I wanted to spend the rest of the day finishing up the script. I'm kind of stuck at the part where the princess wakes up…" Therefore, they all helped in the script. Amaya brought home the final copy to type and distribute to the rest of the group. The next day was Saturday so she said, "Come over to my house tomorrow, and we can read over the script and stuff. Here's my address…"

A/N: Sorry this chapter is so incredibly short. I couldn't think of anything else to put in it, and I didn't want to add stuff from the next chapter to make this chapter longer.

Well, this chapter came out fast as well, right? I have to admit, the rapidness of it came from the fuels of motivation: Hits and Reviews. (Though I secretly wished, the ratio of hits to reviews would equal out) yea...just wishful thinking...

Thank you, XXxbitchyhanyouxXX and patback409 for reviewing. It really made my day. Also, thanks to all my lovely readers for staying with me. I'm hoping for more reviews and hits! The pairings are still pending (though I'm kind of leaning towards Tamaki x Haruhi or Kyouya x Haruhi), so I need your help. The romance is probably going to happen a little later, when more is revealed about Amaya. Thanks again.

What will happen when the host club arrives in Amaya's house? Stay tuned for the next chapter, where many things are revealed!
