"I'm Kou Haninozuka, nice to meet you!"
"So, Kou..." Hikaru asked awkwardly to try and ease the tense atmosphere as they sat drinking tea.
"Oh, please, call me Kou-chan! I insist!" She said happily, taking a sip. Haruhi cleared her throat.
"So, Kou-chan, do you go to Ouran middle school?"
"Oh, I'm only one grade behind Nii-chan, but I take individualized courses at an institute." She calmly sat down her cup.
"Oh, that's nice, what kind of cours- WAIT, YOU'RE ONLY A YEAR YOUNGER THAN HONEY-SENPAI!" Half of them yelled in shock, although she didn't see that surprised.
"Yeah!" She said cheerfully.
"I think I need to lie down~" Tamaki swooned, pressing the back of his palm to his forehead. "Haruhi, swear that you will nurse me back to health in my time of need~"
"When that need arises I'll be sure to hire a nurse for you senpai, using your money of course." She took a sip of tea as he was stabbed in the back with an arrow, causing him to fall over.
"Haruhi~! Does this mean you don't love your daddy anymore~!?" He said, reaching up to her.
"I love him very much. Unfortunately, instead of spending this vacation at home with him, I was dragged out here with you." He collapsed again. Kou giggled.
"You two are so cute together!" She said from behind her hand, giggling again.
"Huh?" Both of them said, turning to stare at her.
"Well, goodnight," she said as the giggles died down, "Kyouya, would you lead me to my room?" She said, holding out her arm. She grinned.
"Why of course." He said, taking her arm and leading her out. She giggled again and blew a kiss as they disappeared through the door.
"Honey-senpai, is that really your little sister?" Haruhi asked after the door closed behind them. He sighed.
"Yes. She is my little sister. She's only 11 months younger than me too. She was born after the school cut off date, putting her a grade behind me." He leaned his head on his hand and poked at his cake.
"Is it anything like it is between you and Chika?" Karou asked, sensing Honey's sadness.
"No, she has always not liked violence." He said in his cute little voice.
"She is extremely skilled in many fields, and while that includes martial arts, she doesn't have patience for those who practice it as a sport." Mori said, surprising all of them with his voice.
"But she doesn't have anything against you right?" Haruhi asked. Honey nodded.
"I don't get it, why does she go to an institute? Ouran Academy is one of the best schools out there." Hikaru said, leaning on his hand as well.
"Not if you want to learn anything." Haruhi muttered.
"She has an adept skills in math and reading, placing her well above average for even a prestigious school such as our, as well as high marks in both science and history. She also does several extra-curricular activities that she excels at as well." Kyouya said, leaning against the doorframe. "All that and she still has a bedtime." He chuckled.
"Hmmm..." Karou hummed against his hand.
"Well, I guess it's time for us to be heading to bed as well." Haruhi said, rising from her seat and making her way to the door.
"Yeah, I guess she's right. C'mon Karou." Hikaru said, standing and stretching his arms over his head, "Karou?" He asked, glancing down at his brother who hadn't moved.
"Huh? Oh, right. Sure." Karou muttered, reluctantly getting up as well. He followed the other two out the door to their bedrooms, leaving the others still gathered around the table, staring at the crackling fire.
"Well," Honey said in his best happy voice, "I guess it won't do any good to sit around moping! We're going to the beach again tomorrow, right?" He said, standing from his chair.
"Yeah." Tamaki nodded, watching the small blonde walk out the door as well with Mori following in suit. When they were gone, h e turned his attention back on Kyoyua.
"So why did you really bring her here?" He asked, any playfulness gone from his voice. Kyoyua calmly sat down and stared at the fire for a minute before speaking.
"It wouldn't be as interesting if I hadn't, don't you think?" Tamaki smiled a knowing smile and sat in peaceful silence with his friend, staring at the orange and yellow flames.
The next day shone as sunny and clear (not to mention hot) as the day before, with the host club rambling about, getting ready for a long day in the sun. The long stretch of beach wrapped around the island with postcard worthy views of the white sand and sparkling water. But before they could enjoy that gorgeous expanse of paradise, they had to wait for two of our main characters to finish getting ready.
"Haruhi!" Karou yelled from the bottom of a wide staircase, "get down here! We're ready to go!" With some minor shuffling above, the brunette, finally made her way down the stairs with a towel around her shoulders, wearing a modest tankini.
"Where's Kou?" Karou asked her.
Hi! I'm so sorry I took so long to update! And I'm sorry this is such a short chapter! I'll try and make the next one longer I promise! Voting is still open for who you want Kou to end up with or what you want to happen.
I update faster with reviews! Have a nice day! B-)
"She's coming." Haruhi said. And speak of the devil and he shall appear, there was Kou at the top of the stairs. She wore a dark purple bikini, setting off her budding figure and making her more feminine than Haruhi by a long shot. A silver cover-up jacket flowed around her waist as she bounded down the stairs. Which, with a C cup, is basically designed to melt the minds of the six guys at the bottom of the stairs. Which is exactly what happened.
"Now that's fashion." Hikaru said, nodding his approval.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting!" Kou said when she reached the bottom. A chorus of 'its fine!' and 'don't worry about it!' could be heard around the room. Kou blinked, but smiled and put her arms behind her back. Meanwhile, Haruhi had retreated into Tamaki's sulking corner.
"Come on Haruhi!" Kou said, pulling her up and out the door, much to Haruhi's surprise, "to the beach!"
