Author's Note: Sorry that I took too long to update. I actually had the story typed in my files months ago, but editing it and re-reading the thing is always harder for me. It's unforgivable. So I shall post another chapter together with this.

It was a Saturday morning when Sora found herself in front of Haruhi's apartment. She was pondering on whether she should press the doorbell or just go home, when the door flew open to reveal Haruhi in casual clothing (pink shirt and jeans). She was surprised to see Sora of course.

"Hm? Sora, what's up?" Haruhi asked. To be honest it was her first time seeing Sora with her hair down. It was around shoulder length and there was no way anyone could mistake her for a boy with what she was wearing (black shorts and a red tank top under a hoodie jacket.)

"Hey Haruhi, can I talk to you? I can tag along while you're doing your chores," Sora said. Haruhi agreed and started walking to the supermarket.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Haruhi asked. "And where's your twin?"

"He's out somewhere, I don't know," Sora shrugged. "About yesterday… that thing with Kaoru… do you think it was wrong for me to do that?"

Haruhi pondered her answer for a while and finally replied. "You said it was acting right? I don't think you did anything wrong but… I think you should apologize and explain yourself to Kaoru. He was probably surprised."

Sora liked talking to Haruhi. Her opinions were always so unbiased and she always gave the best advice. She said exactly that and Haruhi had to correct Sora that she was only looking for ways to be as fair as possible. Soon they arrived at the supermarket. Sora looked over Haruhi's shopping list which wasn't much.

Vegetables, meat, condiments…

"You know, this fish would taste great with those," Sora pointed at the condiments Haruhi was carrying in her basket.

"That's kind of out of our budget line for now," Haruhi said as she peered over the cheaper fish products.

"Fine, I'll buy one," Sora shrugged, taking the fish and handing it over to be weighed before placing it in Haruhi's basket.

Next was bathroom products…

"Wow, I didn't peg you as someone who would use all these things…" Sora commented as she looked over the face products. They were a variety of face masks and shaving cream that Sora has never even knew of until now.

"It's for my dad, he's asking me to buy them…" Haruhi explained before going to the next aisle for her bathroom needs.

Soon they finished the grocery shopping, with Sora giving the fish meat to Haruhi after paying for it. Haruhi tried not to accept it, but when Sora threatened to throw it away she took it without hesitation. Soon they said their goodbyes and departed.

Meanwhile, Ren arrived at Tamaki's door and rang the doorbell wearing his basketball shorts and shirt. Maids came over and let him in to the living room. Tamaki came running almost immediately in his casual (designer) clothes. "Ren! What's up? No one in the host club ever visits me like this!" Tamaki said, overjoyed.

"Really? Well, here I am," Ren smiled naturally. "Anyway, I'm kinda bored, and Sora said she had somewhere else to go so I can't play basketball with her. Maybe you wanted to play?"

Tamaki was leaping in joy when he said this. He quickly agreed and changed into his sports attire. "Let's get the twins too! And Maybe Kyouya! And Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai!"

Soon they were in a limo driving to the Suzuki mansion where there was a basketball court too. The whole host club minus Haruhi and Sora were present. Since they were an odd number, Kyouya volunteered to sit out.

"Okay, we'll play three-on-three," Ren told them. But one of the twins, Hikaru, raised his hand. "But, milord doesn't know how to play," he said as he pointed at Tamaki.

"Eh?" Tamaki said. The seven stared at the now teary-eyed blonde. "I thought everyone didn't know, so I thought we would learn it together…"

Thus the day ended up with the five of them (Sora, the twins, Honey and Mori) teaching Tamaki and Kyouya, because Tamaki insisted he didn't want to learn basketball alone. It was around lunch time when they took a break and decided to eat lunch. After lunch, they went back to the court and waited for a few minutes before they play. It was Hikaru who started a topic for a conversation.

"Hey Ren, you and Sora don't seem as close as most twins do," he started. "If I were you, I would have tagged along with my twin."

"Yeah… but we were never that close at all even when we were younger. She was always silent and secretive," Ren shrugged. "Especially after that incident 8 years ago, she's been a lot more distant than she used to be."

"What incident?" Honey asked.

"The explosion in one of your car factories, correct?" it was Kyouya who answered. Ren nodded and explained further.

"I wasn't with her at that time. She was a grade level higher than me so she was kind of the favorite. Mom and dad brought her to the main car factory, and it just so happened that there was a bomb planted in there meant to sabotage the company. I don't really know everything, but the police report says they found Sora unconscious in a dark room with a head injury, with the bodies of our parents, which was badly burned. And the police also said that she was in that dark room for eight to ten hours… when she woke up, the doctors said she had amnesia and her emotional thingies were severed… They said her emotional detachment could be healed by time."

"So that trauma also caused her eidetic memory?" Kaoru asked. Ren looked at him, eyebrow raised.

"How'd you know about her eidetic memory?"

"She told me back at the garden," Kaoru said carefully, wondering if it was another secret. But then again, why would Sora tell him so casually?

"Oh. Nope, she always had an eidetic memory. She kind of inherited it…" Ren shrugged.

"That's good news, then," Tamaki said. "That her emotional detachment isn't permanent. She can soon feel just as happy, sad and angry as we could possibly be."

They started playing again, when they saw Sora waltzing into the court. She gave a small wave as she sat beside Kyouya who was sitting out because they were an odd number.

"We win!" Ren high-fived with Tamaki and Mori. Sora stood up and ran to them. "I want in," she said.

And so, the teams were made, with Hikaru, Kaoru, Honey, and Sora versus Kyouya, Tamaki, Mori, and Ren. Hikaru was dribbling the ball, looking around, then back at the person blocking him, which happens to be Kyouya. Before they could blink, Hikaru had passed the ball to Sora who made the shot from where she was standing, which was no where within the three-point line. Everyone's eyes widened.

"It's on, sis," Ren smirked. Sora smirked back. It was Kyouya who decided to spice things up. "Why don't we make a bet?" Everyone looked at him before he continued, "The members of the losing team will have to do one thing each member from the winning team."

"Deal." They all smiled at each other.

The results of the game was, in a word, ridiculous. Their scores were tied up with each other. While Ren's team was very powerful with Mori in it, Sora took advantage of the fact that Tamaki sucked. Kyouya agreed that he wouldn't hold the ball so they won't lose, but Tamaki wanted to hold it.

Since Honey and Mori were equally good as each other, everyone soon got tired and it became a one-on-one between Ren and Sora. Eventually Ren's "beefy body" became an advantage as he had more stamina than his sister who had now collapsed on the floor on her back panting.

"Alright, you guys win," she said as she clutched on her chest. The four boys sitting on the side ran up to her.

"Oi, Sora, you okay?" Hikaru asked, peering over her. She sat up in her position and stood up, but her knees buckled. Ren noticed this crouched with his back facing her.

"Come on, get on," he said. Sora sighed and let her brother carry her on his back. "I hate being a girl," she said. The other boys went and followed the twins as they started walking towards the mansion.

"You guys can stay for dinner," Sora said.

"Kyouya," Ren called out, "You better be ready to do this for my sister if you're gonna end up marrying her."

"But of course," Kyouya replied, "I'll be ready to handle such a stubborn wife."

"I still can't believe our grandparents want me to marry this bastard," Sora said, not bothering to hide under pretenses with her fiancé. It was Kaoru who felt a small pang in his chest as he was reminded of the reality that Sora was to be married to Kyouya. He chuckled bitterly at his thoughts, only audible to his brother who was walking beside him.

"Hm?" Hikaru placed his hand on Kaoru's shoulder to get his attention. "What's up?"

"Nothing. I'm feeling a little dizzy," Kaoru lied. But being Hikaru, he easily saw through the lie. Kaoru wanted to leave.

"Are you okay?" Ren stopped in his tracks and turned to the twins. "We'll ask our driver to fetch you, don't worry." Hikaru and Kaoru didn't argue as they entered the mansion and Ren asked one of the servants to take care of them.

When they were about to ride the car, Sora ran to them. "Kaoru… can I talk to you?" Kaoru looked at his brother before turning back to Sora.

"Ah, it's not really a secret or anything," Sora waved her hand up and down. "I just wanted to apologize for what I did yesterday. It was rude, confusing, and I've caused a lot of commotion for everyone." she said as she bowed her head.

"It's okay," Kaoru smiled reassuringly at her. They exchanged their good byes and separated.

Soon, they were in an imported expensive car that they were used to, being driven to their own mansion. Hikaru and Kaoru sat beside each other, leaning on the window on their side. Hikaru looked at his little brother worriedly. Kaoru had that apathetic expression that they used to have before they were in the host club.

"Kaoru…" Hikaru called out, his voice raspy, "I know there're some things you don't want to tell me right now, and as much as it hurts to know that you're hiding things from me, I want you to know that I'm still here for you…"

Kaoru sat up and leaned his head on his brother's shoulder. Hikaru's more comfortable than that window. "I'll tell you next time, I promise," Kaoru said, his voice as raspy as his brother's, and his hair covered his eyes. He scooted closer to his brother, wanting his comfort. Hikaru sighed and put an arm around Kaoru. "Okay."
