Chapter 4

The Scots looked at one another all of them knowing but none of them willing to share, whether that be down to fear or comradely.

"Soups good." Cat tried desperately to turn the conversation to a different topic.

"Which of you did it?" Tamaki asked again, his voice wasn't smooth and comforting like it normally was, it was harsh and unforgiving.

"JET LAG!" Lydia screamed rocketing to her feet, the girl may seem dim but she's really quite the little genius.

"Yeah we're tried, see you guys tomorrow." Cat stood leaving the room she dragged Leon with her just encase the 'Douche bag' spilled the beans – again.

"Wait." Tamaki called desperately after the figures.

"But its only 9 o'clock." Tamaki whispered after them, the whole room seemed a lot quieter now the Scots had gone to bed. Then out of the corner of his eye he noticed it, or her to be more exact.

"HARUHI. WHY YOU NO BE MALE?" Tamaki's random out burst confused not only Haruhi but all of the host club members.

"Tamaki, please explain." Kyoya looked at his astringed friend, sometime he really did worry about the boy's mental health.

"SHE. BOY. NOT. FEMALE. HE. GIRL. SHE. ME. . MALE. HE. NOT." Tamaki blurted out. But Honey in all his cuteness made sense of Tamaki and was able to clear up the situation.

"Tama-Chan is panicking because the Scottish peoples have seen Haruhi as a girl, not a boy. So when we got back to Ouran they'll probably tell everyone." Honey said in his infinite wisdom.

"So, boss what do we do now?" The Hitachiin twins said in unison.

"I'm sure if we asked nicely, they wouldn't say anything." Haruhi huffed; the boys have jumped to all sorts of conclusions.

"The solution is simple enough. We befriend the foreigners and ask them politely at the end of the summer not to revel Haruhi's secret." Kyoya pushed up his glasses; he had a knack for manipulating things.

"I'm sure that wont be -" Haruhi started to argue with the boys but she was drowned out by Tamaki and the twins cooing over the intellectual Kyoya, calling out in tangent how they will 'play nice with Scots. We keep Haruhi. Trick the Scots. We keep Haruhi.'

"If you three would release me, I'll show you all to your rooms." Kyoya said as he attempted to shake Tamaki off of his leg.

"Come on Mori, let's go to bed." The smallest of the group hugged his pink bunny rabbit tightly following after Kyoya who struggled to walk with the twins rubbing themselves on his torso and Tamaki humping his leg.

The group wandered the crisp white halls of the mansion passing several gold trimmed doors. Kyoya stopped suddenly.

"Hikaru, Kaoru, this is your room as I presumed you two would be sharing a bed and this room has the biggest one." Kyoya opened the door slowly. It was a pretty average room. Well average for the rich: Large red and white kings sized bed, a roaring fire, and a red love seat nestled into the corner. The twins shrugged as they entered the room.

"Oh across the hall is…" Kyoya looked carefully at his notes. "I believe its Olive's room." Hikaru sighed audibly before closing the door to the room. Finally, he and Kaoru could have a peaceful night….or could they?

"Tamaki, this is your's and across from you is Anna." Tamaki was practically pushed into the room: his was quaint, a white four frame bed, a balcony with floating white satin curtains and a single white cotasu (those dinning things he was always talking about) sat in the corner. Tamaki smiled he had stayed in this room before one of his and Kyoya's 'sleepovers', well Kyoya slept in a different room altogether, but it was the thought that counts.

"Honey-sempi, this room will be yours. Mori, you're next door... There's a door which joins both rooms, so you'll always be close by." Kyoya smiled to his elders.

"And who's across from us Kyoya-Chan?" Honey said happily snuggling closely into his bunny.

"Honey has Shana. Mori, you have Lexi." Kyoya noted something down in his little black book as the two boys disappeared behind the large oak doors of their rooms.

All that was left was Kyoya and Haruhi wandering down the hall way to the next door.

"Haruhi, this is yours." Kyoya stated, but Haruhi didn't enter the room she stood looking down at her feet.

"Don't you thing it's wrong to twist people like that?" Haruhi spoke softy.

"Like what." Kyoya looked genuinely puzzled.

"You are all going to pretend to be friends with the foreigners just so I can stay in the Host Club." Haruhi whispered afraid of being over heard.

"In time, I'm sure we won't be pretending." Kyoya opened Haruhi's door for her, revealing the large cream and dusty pink room. A large bed sat in the corner of the room just next to a large window which let in a steady flow of fresh air.

"I just hope your right sempi." Haruhi whispered to herself as she flopped on the silk sheets of the bed.

The darkness enclosed all around her, disfigured creatures crawled their way onto her satin sheet. Her hair soaked from sweat, Shana tossed and turned trying to shake her nightmare. Suddenly a hand grabbed her throat and she shot up in her bed clutching at something that wasn't there.

"Just a nightmare" Shana whispered to herself, her soft voice was shaky. There was no way she could get back to sleep now. Her hand fumbled over to the night stand, she squinted her eyes as she saw the time '2:19 am'. She tried to fall back into a slumber but was always awoken by the hand around her neck.

Eventually she gave in, her sweat coated body drifted down the corridor as she searched for a familiar face to cuddle into. After several empty rooms Shana stumbled across something she didn't expect in Olive's room.

Three figures huddled up on the long leather sofa who were kept warm by only their collective body heat. 'Anna, Cat, Olive' Shana recognized each of the figures. There was no room left on the couch so she headed for the bed a solitary figure slept their.

As Shana crawled into the sheets she cuddled up next to the warm blonde figure known as Lydia. She fell asleep instantly next to the warm glow of the girl.

Warm streaks of sun poured in through the open window accompanied by the gentle sound of a piano. Sitting up in bed Shana came to realize she was alone, Lydia must have snuck out of the bed some time after she had arrived.

But the empty bed wasn't what disturbed her most, Cat was sprawled out on the floor bellow the couch, looking perfectly comfortable. And on the couch was something altogether more confusing, Hikaru was snuggled up with his arch enemy Olive.

"What happened last night?" Shana screamed out loud forgetting she wasn't alone.

"Let me tell you a little story." A small voice came from Lexi who sat cross legged on a chair by the door. Her eyes were dark as she remembered the events of the previous night.

FLASHBACK

The darkness of the night covered the room in a sinister shadow. Lexi sat crossed legged on a chair by the large oak door, scribbling on a piece of paper.

"Damn, this would be so much easier if I could turn the lights on. Damn these people. Needing their sleep. Pshh Sleep is for the weak." She continued scribbling down, squinting at the paper to see what she was doing. The room she was in belonged to Olive although it seemed to have been over run by her companions.

Shana walked drowsily into the room, ignoring Lexi altogether, before snuggling down with Lydia in the grand bed.

A few minutes passed before Lydia flopped out of the bed whispering her desperate need to 'PEE'.

Lydia stumbled into the unfamiliar room in search of a loo. After finding one she slipped into the nearest bed and pushed an unfamiliar figure from under the sheets. She was fine with Shana cuddling into her, but not Olive as well. But it wasn't Olive; Lydia had pulled a sleepy Hikaru from the fluffy mattress, before snuggling into Kaoru.

Hikaru stumbled into the nearest room to complain to who ever would listen, giving into sleep he pulled two rather large cushions for the couch before snuggling in next to the third. A warm pillow, that's new'

On the floor Cat star fished out completely unaffected by being pulled off of the bed. Unlike Anna who stormed down to the music room that rested at the far end of the mansion.

Flashback end

"Sorry." Hikaru apologized sleepily to Olive. The two had awoken due to Shana's panicked screams.

"Ahh don't worry about it Hikaru, happens all the time." Olive smiled before poking Cat with her toe.

"What time is it?" Cat muttered drowsily, still lying sprawled out on the floor.

"3 am." Lexi said coldly still furiously trying to read the same line for the one thousandth time.

"DA FUCK. I'm going back to sleep!" Olive cried crawling back onto the couch and Cat sleep back asleep on the floor. After a few moments of debate Hikaru crawled back onto the couch with Olive.

Shana fell back onto the bed and slept

In the music room Anna's fingers danced over the ivory keys. A tall blond figure stood behind her listening.

"That very beautiful" Tamaki said sitting down next to her.

"Sorry if I woke you." Anna said, smiling apologetically.

"No, I was glad to be awoken by such a sweet song" Tamaki said.

The two played and talked and laughed in the early morning light.

"Do you know what time it is?" Leon's husky voice growled from behind them.

"Sorry if we woke you." Tamaki smiled as his lithe fingers danced across the keys.

"Nay, I always loved listening to Anna play. She is the number one in music after all." Leon grinned.

"Number one?" Tamaki asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Yes, the girls have been ranked, you see. From 1st being the best and 5th being the worst in our class." Leon stated bluntly.

"That seems cruel." He murmured sympathetically.

"It is." Anna said, her fingers slammed into the keys creating a dissonant chord. Tamaki winced at the awful noise.

"I'll explain further," Leon said with a wicked grin" See for each subject there is a different rating. So, for art this list goes: Cat, Lexi, Lydia, Olive, and Anna. Then for math its; Lydia, Anna, Olive, Cat, and Lexi. Next English is; Lexi, Olive, Anna, Lydia, and Cat. After that is sports; Olive, Cat, Lexi, Anna, and Lydia. And finally music, which is; Anna, Lydia, Cat, Lexi, and Olive. Of course you shouldn't forget get that we have our main list, which I mentioned at dinner. That one, the most important, goes; Cat, Anna, Lydia, Lexi and Olive."

"Stop now, Leon. That's enough." Anna's voice was low and menacing, laced with unspoken threats.

But the foolish man ignored her warning and continued. "Poor, poor little Olive. Can't do anything but run 'round a track. It's pathetic. We all know she's just a tag-along with no real talent-"

"I SAID ENOUGH!" Anna screamed as her hand whipped out and connected with Leon's cheek. His head snapped to the side, his eyes wide with shock. Anna stumbled back a step and slumped forward, her chin resting on her chest. Tamaki could just make out the way her shoulders shook in a silent sob.

The blond king stared at the young musician in confusing and a twinge of horror. Was this the same calm girl he had been playing the piano with just moments ago.

Just as Tamaki took a step towards Anna with his arm outstretched, the door behind him swung up, slamming against the wall with a clatter. All heads in the room whipped around to look at the new arrivals.

"Tama-Chan," Honey grumbled, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Why is everyone yelling?" Mori nodded beside him in agreement.

Anna finally looked up, a single tear sliding down her cheek. She opened her mouth to say something, but whatever words she was about to say were lost forever because in that moment the door slammed open once again.

Lexi stormed through the doorway "IT IS 4 IN THE FREAKING MORNING! WILL YOU ALL PLEASE JUST SHUT THE F- "she cut of abruptly. "Oh hi Mori."

Mori turned his head to glance her way. The small girl blushed and turned away, scuffing her tow against the floor. She grinned and took a breath, preparing to say something, but yet again she was cut short.

"BEACH!" screamed Lydia, her voice carrying from some other part of the mansion.

"The beach?" Tamaki asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"Yes, Prince, the beach." Said Kyoya, appearing from nowhere. "Tomorrow we are going to the beach. So everyone get ready."

"YAY day trip! Day trip!" squealed Honey, jumping up and down in excitement.
