The sun was barely out, the very edges of it barely peeking out. But the room was still a shroud of darkness, two sleeping figures lying on the bed undisturbed by the oncoming sunrise. Why should they? Their appointment wasn't till 10am anyway, they had a good three hours left of sleep, and neither of them was about to give it up.

Or they thought it was 10am anyway.

The silence was disturbed when the door suddenly burst open, and six figures filed in, the most exuberant one exclaiming the moment they got in. "Ohaiyou, Kyouya! Time to get going!"

Silence. No movement, nor response from the two on the bed. Tamaki pouted, and then bounced on the bed, much to the horrified faces of the twins. Even Mori was looking minutely horrified as he held a sleeping Hunny in his arms, as Tamaki started whining. "Kyou~ya! Its time to wake u- ah! Yukie-chan is here too! Wake up!"

"Go. Away!"

The usually soft spoken, golden haired girl suddenly threw a hand out at Tamaki, shocking him halfway across the room, before she settled back down in her position under Kyouya's arms. For where Kyouya did not take lightly to being waken up, Yukie detested being woken up.

But the thing Kyouya hated worst then waking him up in the morning, was anyone making his Yukie annoyed. Especially this early in the morning.

Shifting in his position, he sat up slowly, and sent a glare which sent all six of them scuttling backwards. "Who let you in my room?"

"K-kyouya! Didn't we promise we would c-come at 7am?" Tamaki stuttered out, hiding behind Haruhi as he peered out in fear at the evil Shadow King.

"10am. Leave it at 10am." Kyouya growled out, and finally fell back down on his bed, lightly breathing as he collected the equally knocked out Yukie in his arms and returned back to his peaceful slumber. The bewildered looks on the other hosts features were exchanged.

"Let's… wait." Tamaki finally decided. Remembering the last time he received the consequences for dragging Kyouya out against his will anyway, he shuddered, and the rest of them retreated in to the living room of the (currently) empty Ootori Mansion. "Mou. Then why did we even come out that early?"

"Because someone couldn't sleep the night before and decided we should start out before the sun even comes up." Kaoru commented with a smirk.

"Is that wrong? I just wanted all of us to spend more time together! Besides, early bird gets the worm~" Tamaki retorted to the comment with a pout, making Haruhi raise her eyebrow at that as she slide down on an empty seat, and then lay her head on the headrest. "Sempai, we still need sleep. Its way too early to be awake." Haruhi finally said. And this, coming from Haruhi was rather surprising indeed. After all, she was the earliest waker among them, having to prepare things for her father before he went to work.

"Ah! Haruhi! Are you sleepy? Rest on Daddy's shoulder here!" Tamaki immediately bounced up and exclaimed, drawing amused smirks from the twins, whilst Mori settled in to an armchair with Hunny cradled in his arms, still sleeping. Haruhi on the other hand, just gave raised brow look at the gold haired host again, before flipping over in her seat and cuddling back in to the soft plush.


Three hours or so later, the dark haired figure in bed shifted, and then sat up, causing the sheets to fall from his naked torso. He brushed a hand across his eyes, before reaching out to get his glasses. Perching them on his nose, he turned, and then gave a small smile at the sleeping figure at his side, his eyes sliding to the digital clock on his bedside table, before sighing and getting himself off the bed. He did like to sleep in, but they did promise their rambunctious friends they would go by ten.

In ten minutes, Kyouya walked out of the room with a sleeping Yukie in his arms. They had slept late the last night, staying up just to talk about life in general, and in all honesty the Shadow King really didn't want to wake her up. But imagine his surprise when he walked in and saw the twins leaning on each other asleep, not to mention Haruhi's head on Tamaki's lap, all six of the hosts fast asleep. Raising a brow, he glanced at the sleeping girl in his arms, and then proceeded to place her in the prepared car, propping her up properly first, and then reentering the living room.

Once there however, Kyouya produced a gong seemingly out of nowhere, and in no time at all, the six of them had jumped up in a hurry, even Hunny, all surprised by the reverberating sound of the gong.

"Where's the fire? Don't worry Haruhi, Daddy will save you!" Tamaki yelled out enthusiastically, only to get a pillow thrown at his head. Glancing back angrily, Tamaki jumped when he followed Kaoru's pointing finger to Kyouya, before sheepishly grinning.

"Well, you did say 10am, didn't you Kyouya?" he sheepishly said. And at that, Kyouya couldn't help but to just shake his head ruefully at the action of his best friends and host club members, before motioning them out. "Yukie's already in the car. We better get going or we're never going to get there.


By the time they were 2 hours in to the journey, Yukie had eventually woken up, and started playing the 'I Spy' games with Hunny throughout the journey. Kyouya on the other hand, was immersed in his own world away from the squabblings of Tamaki and Haruhi, being driven on by the twins, and even from Hunny and Yukie's excited conversations on what are they going to proceed doing the moment they get to Osaka.

Out of the corner of his eye however, he did glance a couple of times at the animated conversation of his girlfriend with Hunny. Kyouya couldn't resist afterall, it was Yukie's bright personality that drew him towards her in the first place, and he couldn't help but crack a smile when she jumped out of the car the moment they got to their chalet, immediately running towards the balcony of their room.

"Uwa! Osaka is really pretty, ne?"

"Haven't you been here before?"

"Not really. Its always with Otou-sama and Okaa-sama, and its always with their business trips. I never really got a chance to see Osaka before."

Walking up to where she was on the balcony, he wrapped his arms around his waist and pressed a kiss on her forehead gently. "I'll bring you to see the world." he said softly, pulling her closer to him. Even in his voice, it was filled with adoration, and nothing purer then love. How could he have anything else but? Yukie was his epitome of joy, and he would give her the galaxy if she so wanted.

"I don't really want to see the world, thats a little tiring. Can we stick with Osaka for now?" Yukie replied cheekily, sticking a tongue out at him. Kyouya laughed, and shook his head at her insolence. Bending down, he leaned in closer to her lips, intending to claim another kiss from her.

"Kyouya! Lets go! There's a fair tonight!"

The exuberent voice of Tamaki came just seconds before the golden haired form of the Host King appeared in their doorway, only to freeze when he saw the image presented to him. "W-wh-"

"Tono!" the twins appeared, the moment Tamaki started stuttering. His innocent mind a little more shell-shocked at what he was about to witness, he stood stock still as the red haired twins came up and grabbed him by his shoulders. "Hunny-sempai wants cake, and he'll be throwing a tantrum if we don't go soon!" they chorused, before Hikaru picked him up and ran off, leaving Kaoru with a smirk thrown at the couple. "Might want to lock the door. I don't think he accepts the idea about the both of you yet."

"Parental complex." Kyouya muttered, as Kaoru walked off, and then sighed. "I guess we better go. You need to change?"

Yukie shook her head, and walked towards the door. "Lets go then! I want the beach." she exclaimed happily, and again, Kyouya cracked a smile. The gold haired girl of his made him smile like no one ever could, and he would do everything to be in her world for forever and a day.
