A/N: Hello my lovely readers~! ^_^ Sorry for the long wait; I was stuck with this chapter. I hate writers block...o But this chapter is a bit longer than the other chapters, so hopefully that makes up for the wait. This one was kind of fun to write too. =) So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the chapter!

Disclaimer: I in no way own OHSHC. If I did, Miyuki would probably be in the series. I do however (as you already know) own Miyuki, her family, and any other OCs that appear in the story.

~A Duet With Tamaki~

The rest of the day passed by rather quickly, and it didn't seem like Asuka had bothered to tease me anymore. Or if she did tease me, I didn't notice. I didn't pay much attention to anything today after lunch. I was too busy wondering what it was going to be like working for the Host Club. Would I have fun? Would I be glared at even more? How would Asuka react? I cringed at the thought of her reaction; I was certain she wasn't going to show any mercy to me. She would probably cause this huge scene to embarrass me and then try to ruin my life some other way.

"Koizumi-san?"

"Huh?"

I looked up to see a petite girl (even smaller than me!) with short brown hair and soft forest green eyes looking at me. She had a small smile on her face.

"Class is over. You've been sitting there for the past ten minutes."

"O-oh. Thank you, um…"

"Miura Emi."

"Well, thank you, Miura-san. I must go now, sumimasen (excuse me)."

I smiled brightly at her, and took my leave. Today, I was going to observe the Host Club's atmosphere, and determine what songs would suit them the most. This might be a bit hard, considering I have to choose a song that will suit each host. I sighed, time to get to work!

I opened the doors to the music room and was immediately attacked by rose petals.

"Welcome!"

I looked to see the Host Club with smiles on their faces, probably expecting actual customers, not me.

"Oh, its just Miyuki-chan."

Yep, definitely customers.

"Gee, I feel so important!" Sarcasm dripped off every word.

"Miyu-chan! You came today!"

Hunny jumped into my arms and swung him around a bit before cuddling/hugging him. Man, he's too cute!

"Of course I came! You didn't think I'd ditch you guys till I had to come tomorrow, did you?"

"No, I didn't! But Hikaru and Kaoru thought you would…"

I looked at the twins, confused. Why'd they think that?

"We thought you'd try to stay away from the, as Haruhi would put it, 'insanity' as long as possible."

"But-"

I stopped myself from saying what I was about to say. If they heard those words, it would be the end of me! I looked to the twins again, realizing that I had looked away when I stopped mid-sentence, and saw devious looks on their faces.

"You enjoy," "the insanity," "right?"

I gulped. Bullseye! They grinned devilishly, and hugged me from both sides. I blushed and tried to wiggle free, but it was no use. They had me in an iron grip.

"Aw, I didn't know little Miyuki-chan enjoyed being around all the insanity we cause!"

"Hey! I only enjoy it because I like being around you guys!"

They looked at me and saw my embarrassment. I liked being around not just them, but the whole Host Club. I hoped they didn't get the wrong idea. I looked pleadingly at Haruhi to see she was too busy being harassed by Tamaki to save me from the two evil twins. Everyone else was just ignoring us, like it was normal routine. It probably was for them.

"It warms my heart to know Miyuki-chan cares so much for us! Don't you agree, Hikaru?"

"I sure do, Kaoru."

They pretended to be emotionally touched and wiped away a few stray 'tears'. I rolled my eyes and took my chance to escape when they were wiping their tears. I walked away from the two devils and sat down at a table that had been set up, just for me. I mused at the spiral designs on the table and then took out a notebook, a pencil, and, of course, a list of songs I knew how to play, or could learn to play. It was going to be a long Host Club meeting…

Great. Just great. I come to take notes on the aura of each host, and I get glared at for simply being here. I'm not doing anything, besides occasionally asking Kyouya or Tamaki a few questions.

I twitched slightly when I felt a familiar glare burning into my skull. I tried to ignore it, but no use. I turned around to find Asuka glaring at me from her seat at the twins' station. I smiled nervously and waved at her and she just 'humphed' and turned away. None of the hosts were messing with me, or vice versa, so why in the world were people glaring?! I decided to pull out my MP3 player to hopefully distract me from the girls and to give me inspiration for the Host Club's songs. I turned the music player on and instantly One Love by Arashi started to play. I smiled and kind of spaced out while I listened to the song. It was currently one of my favorites. Unconsciously, I began to whisper the words until whispering became soft singing. Unbeknownst to me, a small crowd was beginning to form around me in an attempt to actually hear my soft singing. I got to the climax of the song and became slightly louder. Then I came to the end and ended softly.

"Zutto kagayaite iru kara…La la la…"

I opened my eyes, oblivious to everyone watching me up until now. Had they really been watching me this whole time?!

"Sugoi (Amazing)! I didn't know you sang so well Koizumi-san!"

"That was beautiful!"

"Was that an Arashi song?"

The compliments and questions kept on going as I sheepishly smiled and blushed. No doubt I looked like a tomato. I felt arms hug me and spin me around like my dad had done when I was little. At first I suspected one of the twins, but I saw them laughing at me. Hopefully it was because I was being swung, and not because of my singing. I was always sensitive about that. So it wasn't one of them swinging me, in fact, it was Tamaki.

"That was simply amazing, Daughter! Daddy is so proud!"

Eh? Daddy? Since when was he my 'Daddy?'

"Daddy? What are you talking about?"

Tamaki had set me down (finally! I was about to puke!) and was now explaining how he would love if I would sing a duet with him. I was paying no mind to that though. It was out of the question, I just didn't sing for, or with people. They only got to hear me sing because I had gotten carried away with the song.

"Ah, don't mind the 'Daddy' 'Daughter' thing. You see, to Tamaki, the Host Club is a family. He is 'Daddy', Kyouya is 'Mommy' and the rest of us are his sons, or in your case, daughter."

I looked behind me to see Kaoru (I think, I'm still having trouble with telling the twins apart.) with his arms crossed. He grinned at me and rested an arm on my shoulder, like my shoulder was an armrest.

"You did really well, Miyuki-chan. I wasn't expecting the spotlight to be stolen so quickly by our newest member."

"Nani (what)?! Oh, gomen (sorry)! I didn't mean to distract your customers! I just got carried away with the song and-"

A hand covering my mouth cut me off. I looked up at amber eyes to see the other twin had revealed himself. He laughed good-naturedly and removed his hand.

"Slow down there! Its okay, we don't mind. Besides, this was a great way of introducing our latest member to the public."

I calmed down and looked to see Tamaki still going on about that duet. I sweat dropped at his obliviousness at the fact I hadn't been listening at all.

"-And that is why I believe I should do a duet with you!"

"Um, sorry, I wasn't listening. But either way, no. I'm not singing a duet with you."

Tamaki retreated to his corner of woe and I felt a lot of glares burn into me. I sighed and decided to do something to make up for the duet.

"But I suppose I could play a duet with you on the piano, or with my violin."

He looked at me with a curious look on his face.

"You play piano, Miyuki-chan?"

I smiled warmly. Tsubasa, my cousin, had taught me before she had to move to Russia because of her family business. We emailed each other regularly and were planning on her paying me a visit soon.

"Yeah, I was taught by a relative of mine."

"So you can play two instruments? That's wonderful!"

I thanked him and dwelled on the thought of Tsubasa. I couldn't wait to see her! She had all of the confidence around people she didn't know, that I didn't have. She kind of supports me when I have trouble in social situations. Tamaki seemed to notice me spacing out and smiled happily.

"You two must be very close."

I nodded and smiled back at him. My cousin and I were basically inseparable. My blue gaze met Tamaki's purple and I smiled rather fondly.

"We're inseparable when we're together. Like two peas in a pod. She moved away, but she's going to visit me soon. Now, how about that duet?"

I heard a few squeals of "Kawai~!" and "Moe~!" as I walked to him and offered my hand. He smiled brightly and accepted my hand and I grabbed my violin from the back room while he set up the piano. I brought out my violin and began to tune it, to make sure it sounded just right. I tested the sound a few times before settling with it, satisfied. I began to think of songs that included a piano and a violin. The perfect song popped into my brain. We could play that song! My secret weapon!

"How about we play Romance (for piano and violin)? That is appropriate considering this is a host club, right?"

Tamaki considered it and then nodded, smiling.

"You have quite the taste in music. Your parents must be proud."

"Thanks!"

I smiled just as brightly, and once again heard "Kawai~!" and "Moe~!"

"Interesting, the Prince Type meets the Musical Type…"

I turned to Kyouya to see what he was mumbling about. I had only caught "Interesting…Prince…Musical…" and that was it.

"Huh?"

"Oh, nothing, continue, please."

"Okay…"

And so we played. I played like I had a romance of my own, and I was expressing the feelings of it through my violin. Tamaki was excellent with the piano, and so it now made perfect sense why he had reacted the way he did when we first met, because he was a fellow musician. I smiled and put even more emotion into the composition than I had before. We both ended the song with tenderness and it brought tears even to my eyes that were use to the strong emotion in the song by now. I beamed at Tamaki.

"Nice job, Otou-chan! (1)"

Tamaki's eyes widened then became big with tears of joy and he, once again, hugged me and spun me around. I laughed at his antics and I heard "Kawai~!" "Moe~!" or "How dare she hug Tamaki-kun! The filth!" Even though the mean comment stung a bit, I ignored it. Besides, he hugged me first!

"Mommy! Daughter actually called me Daddy! Oh, that makes me so happy!"

"I thought it might! You're so silly, Tamaki! You remind me of my real father a lot!"

I laughed as he set me down and I heard a small squeal from the door. I turned my head towards the door, but before I could turn it completely, I was out of my 'Otou-chan's' arms and in someone else's. I looked up at the face of the culprit and saw my brother. Uh oh…

"Hands off, Suoh! No guy is allowed to touch Miyuki until I give the 'Okay', and I haven't given it to you yet!"

"Onii-chan…"

He looked down at me with a funny sympathetic face. I almost burst out laughing.

"There, there, Miyuki! Big Brother is here now! The mean blondie can't hurt you anymore!"

An anime vein popped on my head.

"Big Brother will protect you!"

And another popped.

"Big Brother won't let any flirtatious boys hurt you!"

And several more.

"Daisuke…"

My brother, along with everyone else in the room, froze. My tone had been filled with annoyance and impatience. So far, I hadn't acted like this in front of anyone. Well, I had in front of my brother, but it was rare. This only happened when I was extremely annoyed (or really sleepy). And I was, at my brother and his antics. Any other time I wouldn't have cared, but he was pulling the 'overprotective brother card' when other people I had to be around (people I didn't even know) were here. A sign seemed to appear above my head that said:

The Monster Has Been Released

My brother shakily set me down and gulped. He knew I could be scary when I did get annoyed.

"M-Miyuki? Um, I'll stop with the over protectiveness now, if its bothering you that much."

Now he decides to stop! I looked up at him and an idea popped into my head. I grinned evilly in my head and forced tears to form in my eyes. Everyone gasped at the sudden change in attitude and I was sure some people probably thought I was bipolar.

"O-Onii-chan…I'm s-sorry, but I feel like you don't trust me to take care of myself! You're always protecting me from boys when I don't need to be! You're too protective!"

My brother acted like it was a blow to the heart. He seemed to be punched by an invisible opponent. I almost giggled. He suddenly hugged me tightly and I hugged him back.

"I'm sorry, Miyuki! I just worry about you; I just don't want you to get hurt! Now, please don't hit your innocent older brother… "

I openly giggled at his last statement that he had whispered. Like I'd ever hit him! Maybe Onee-chan or Tsubasa would, but I wouldn't. But I knew what he said had been true. It was the only reason why he was so protective; he just didn't want me to get hurt. I heard sniffles, excited cries, and "Sibling Love~! So sweet!" I knew pulling an act like this would get customers interested! I hid my smirk from everyone and soon changed my smirk into a sweet smile.

"I know Onii-chan! I just want a bit of freedom!"

Daisuke looked down at me, teary eyed. I sighed and pulled away slightly.

"But I guess I'll have to accept your overprotective behavior…"

I sighed and smiled at Daisuke. I meant it when I said that. I had to accept it or I'd probably be in a bad mood all the time. My brother put me in a headlock and gave me a noogie. I struggled to get out of his grip as he messed up my hair.

"You bet ya do! 'Cause I'm always going to be your overprotective older brother!"

"I know…now let go! You're messing up my hair!"

My brother laughed and released me, smiling, as my classmates would put it, 'dreamily'. I heard laughter, squeals and clapping. I almost laughed at the faces of the Host Club, because they were utterly shocked that I was being so open and silly. What can I say? I'm different when my brother is around.

"Look at her, trying to make everyone like her. I feel bad for the Host Club, they have to have such a loser in their presence."

I heard Asuka whisper this to her small group of friends, and I automatically wanted to tell her off. I wasn't trying to make anyone like me! I was trying to get customers interested so that they would come for more! And maybe get them to spread the word about the Host Club. Plus, it was amusing to see everyone's reactions. Instead of making a scene of what she said, I simply glared at her. It wasn't a hurt glare, like my past glares had been; it was a "Shut up already!" glare. I almost laughed at her, because her jaw dropped in surprise. Ha! Take that Asuka!

My silly mood draining, I sat down at the table meant for me. The customers and Hosts had all returned to their designated areas and my brother decided he would join me in my little project.

"The music will definitely have to be lively, yet romantic. We can't play different themes for each host, because that would cause too much disruption. It has to be something that fits them all."

"How about what you just played with Tamaki?"

"No, that's too slow and soft for regular scenery. Maybe we could play it on a themed day, though."

My brother contemplated our options, and I was beginning to become frustrated. I had never had so much trouble deciding on a song before. Usually, they just came to me like magic. I sighed and stood up, earning a curious look from my brother.

"I'm going to go get some tea, want any?"

"Sure, thanks."

My brother smiled at me and continued to think about songs. I walked towards the kitchen and began to wonder, was that kitchen there before? I had a feeling I better not worry about it, and so I continued to walk.

As I prepared the tea, my mind wondered over my relationship with each host. I was already good friends with Hunny and Mori, and had recently grown fond of Tamaki. He wasn't all that annoying once you got to know him better. Haruhi and I still hadn't interacted a whole lot to be real close, and Kyouya, well, Kyouya sort of scared me. But I could tell he was a good person. And then there were the twins. I smiled warmly. They had been the ones who actually got me to come out from my cave. If they hadn't invited me for lunch, who knows what I'd be doing now!

I had decided to have some cookies with my tea, and brought some for Onii-chan, just incase he wanted some too. I was in a better mood than before, and was humming a familiar tune to myself. I was so close to naming it! I clumsily fell over something and right before I dropped everything and hurt myself, I was caught and so was the tray. I opened my eyes, not realizing I had shut them, and gazed into pools of melted gold and I blushed. The twin smiled/smirked and helped me stand up right. I blushed harder when, in my attempt to regain balance, fell into his chest. I quickly stood up straight, trying to calm myself.

"Thanks for saving me. I guess I owe you one now, right?"

He grinned mischievously.

"Naturally. And you're," "Welcome, Miyuki-chan!"

I smiled and took the tray from the other twin and took notice of the concern in his eyes. The twin who caught me showed concern in his eyes, but it wasn't as noticeable. From what I have observed so far, I'm guessing Kaoru is more open with his emotions than Hikaru is. Also, Hikaru is bolder, I guess you could say. I smiled in a sort of triumph as I bid my farewells.

"Thanks again and see ya around, Kaoru," I turned towards the twin who had given me the tray. I then turned towards the one who had caught me.

"Hikaru."

They seemed shocked that I could tell them apart, as well as annoyed and curious (Although, I was just guessing a bit there. It was still a bit too soon to assume anything about the two.). I could understand the shock and curiosity, but why were they annoyed? Oh, well. I'll find out later. Right now I need to get this tea to Onii-chan before it becomes cold!

The customers had left a few minutes ago and now the Host Club was just cleaning up and preparing for tomorrow's activities. I banged my head on the table and my brother sweat dropped. We had yet to come up with anything, and I was now very annoyed. My eyes watered at the pain I inflicted on myself. That actually really hurt! I looked up at my brother, resting my chin on the table, and he tried not to laugh. Why was he trying not to laugh? My confusion must have shown, because my brother simply pointed to my forehead.

"Your forehead has a big red mark on it from where you banged it."

I groaned and proceeded to bang my head again, but before I could, Mori stopped me. I looked up to him and he shook his head, telling me not to do that anymore.

"Don't hurt yourself."

"Oh, sorry about that. I'm just a bit annoyed."

"Why?"

A weight had plopped itself in my lap and I looked down to see Hunny. I smiled at him and scratched the back of my head.

"I still can't decide on a song to play for the Host Club. I've been here the whole club meeting, but I got nothing! My brother can't even decide! Its just really irritating to know that I can't come up with anything, when it should be really easy to."

Hunny hugged me and smiled cutely. His cuteness just melts me! I smiled back at him and ruffled his hair.

"Don't worry, Miyu-chan! I'm sure you'll come up with something soon, ne, Takashi?"

Mori simply replied by giving an, "Ah." I smiled at him and heard my brother go "Aw, how sweet!" which caused me to punch him in the arm lightly. He chuckled at me and gave me a brotherly smile.

"Miyu-chan, do you want to eat cake with me? We have a bunch of different flavors!"

I considered it and then happily nodded. My mom didn't have to know I was eating cake instead of a healthier snack, like apples. And hopefully, Onii-chan won't tell on me. I followed Hunny to his table with all the different cakes on it. It was a good thing all the customers had gone by now. If they hadn't, I would be getting glares right now.

"What type of cake would you like?"

I looked at all the different cakes on the table. There sure was a lot! How many cakes could this kid eat? I luckily noticed my favorite cake on the table and immediately pointed to it.

"Hmm, how about that raspberry cheese cake?"

Hunny smiled happily and handed me the sweet. I smiled back and said my thanks to him and then took my fork into my hand. I hadn't had any cake since my birthday (last year's birthday. It had yet to come this year.), and I was happy to have cake again so soon. I seriously needed to talk to my mother about her health concerns for me. No offense to her, but she seemed a bit paranoid of me becoming an unhealthy slob.

I smiled in delight as the flavor of raspberries along with the creamy taste of cheesecake filled my mouth. This was really good! It was really sweet, but not too sweet. I sighed in complete bliss and Hunny giggled at me.

"Is it really good?"

"It's the best! I haven't had this good of cake since Obaa-chan made her famous, Creamy Carrot Cheesecake!"

"Wow, how do you make it?"

"That, my friend, even I do not know. She hides the recipe every time I'm around because she knows I'll sneak a peek and write it down."

I then proceeded in telling Hunny and Mori about this one time I had thought I finally found the recipe, and it really had been a recipe for normal carrot cake. I had been pretty disappointed and my grandmother had just laughed and said, "You'll never be able to find it!" I heard two chairs squeak up beside me and turned both ways to see what the cause was. Of course, it was the twins. I smiled at them.

"Hey Hikaru, Kaoru."

"Ah, Miyuki-chan,"

"You have cake,"

"Right here."

I blushed as Hikaru and Kaoru licked cake from my cheeks. I rubbed the spots and pouted while the two evil twins grinned.

"You could have just used a napkin or something, you know…"

My brother seemed to have a delayed reaction, as well as Tamaki, because they rushed to me the next moment.

"That shouldn't be your reaction!"

"You shouldn't have accepted that type of behavior from those devils! They're evil!"

"They'll corrupt you!!!"

I sighed as the two of them yelled in unison. Gosh, it wasn't like it meant anything, or like them being flirtatious will rub off on me. I'm much too shy.

"Miyuki-chan won't reject us,"

"Because now Haruhi, Miyuki, Hikaru and I are,"

Somehow, the twins magically pulled Haruhi in the picture and hugged Haruhi and me. Haruhi sighed and I mirrored her actions. Another feud…

"The Friendly Classmate Quartet!"

Tamaki and Onii-chan seemed to pale at this. I sweat dropped at them. Did they just realize we were in the same class? Well, I can't blame them, I just found out myself.

"Crap, that's right…"

"You're all in the same class…"

I laughed at my brother and Tamaki and they turned towards me.

"Sorry, it's just that your reactions are kind of funny, and you're saying everything just at the right time to follow what the other says. Its like you guys are related or something!"

"We wouldn't be surprised if they were because they're both so overprotective."

"That's true."

Soon, the twins, Tamaki, and Onii-chan began to quarrel. Haruhi and I took this as our time to escape and made our way towards her table. She sighed and sat down and I down across from her.

"Do they always act like that? Messing with each other and all that."

"Pretty much. Though on some days it's more bearable. Is your brother always like that?"

"Always."

We both sighed again at our hectic lives. Well, my life seemed like it was going to be more hectic now. It was definitely going to be more entertaining if nothing else though. I smiled to myself and sighed again, this time in contentedness. I had a feeling this was going to be one Heck of a year.

(1) 'Otou-chan' I believe translates more or less to 'Daddy'
