Me: YAY! I'M BAAAAACK!

Autumn: Shut your trap. You made me get blackmailed into a stupid club ON MY VACATION!

Me: Might I remind you, I gave you that vacation. And now I took it away. You were being too mean.

Autumn: I am offended! What did I ever do to you!

Me: You threatened to kill me, just yesterday!

Autumn: Pshhh. Please. When I held the knife to your throat, I was simply just saying hello! It wasn't a threat!

Me: Never say hello again.

Autumn: Oh well. Hey Hikaru! Kouru! Get in here to do the disclaimer!

Twins: Yeah, sure. Pickles doesn't own Ouran. Hehe, or us, thankfully. She owns Autumn and Janessa's messed up family though.

Me: Enjoy!

Growling, I punched one of the twins in the face. This is what I got for letting them in.

According to them, since they had kidnapped me, I was to ride back home with them. Unforunately, they were really annoying. They made me play their stupid games, ending with the "Which one is Hikaru Game" That one was easy, considering the fact I could tell from the start. I had a knack for things like that. But, Kouru had a lighter voice, and seemed less mischievious than Hikaru. Plus, I couldn't help but notice, They had slightly different eye shades. Not completely identical.

Once I had guessed right on the first time with no hesitation, they started giving me less hard of a time. That all ended when I unconcsiously opened the door and invited them to stay. That's when all hell broke loose.

Janessa hadn't come back yet. I couldn't help but notice that she got in the car with Tamaki, Hunny, and Morti. It made me feel a little better that she was with Morti, but considering the fact that Tamaki was in there... But the twins were a handfull.

They had explored my house, going through all my stuff. They found it quiet an interest in my Soul Eater collection. I just about fainted when they nearly broke the disk. And they also decided they needed to go and pull everything out, too. So, being hyped up on caffiene, I finally broke. This is how my sugar fit was going to be spent.

"Dammit! Shut UP Kouru!" I shrieked as I withdrew my hand from the boy's face. I turned to Hikaru, who was already starting to comfort his twin. "And YOU!" I kicked his jaw, causing him to fly away from me.

I smiled, pleased with how this was going. "Now, you will clean this up, before I find the sudden urge to dent your thick skulls." I left them alone in the living room with a broom and dustpan.

I retreated to my room, going to go study. Stupid tests...

Kouru

I watched through the blood that was on my face as she walked away. Wow. Somehow, that had all really turned me on. I was really pathetic. But I knew I liked her from the first time she had looked at me. I groaned and got up, going to help Hikaru.

Before I could ask if he was ok, he cut me off. "Our new play thing seems to be very annoyed with us." He grinned. "Should we go bug her some more?"

I shook my head. "No way, Hikaru. I don't feel like losing any more blood."

Seeming to realize that I had been bleeding, he came over to me. "Are you ok, Kouru?" He examined my injuries.

"Fine. You?"

He laughed. "Just fine. But, I think we should clean this up before she comes back downstairs."

oOo

I shivered and looked out the limo window. Going into your past life was not fun. Especially such a tragic one. I really hoped getting kidnapped wasn't a habbit with these people. But they seemed...ok. I was just worried about my poor cousin alone with the twins...

I was suddenly poked in my ribs. "Ow! What was that for?" I turned to Tamaki.

"You looked like you were dead..."

I rolled my eyes. "So your instinct tells you to poke dead people?"

He paused. "No, my instinct tells me to run around screaming. But Mom says that's rude."

I raised an eyebrow. "Mom...?"

Tamaki looked offended. "Oh! Well, since you're part of our family now, you have the right to know!"

Suddenly the scene change from a limo to some weird rosy backround. "I am daddy!"

I saw Kyoya next. "Kyoya is mother."

Next was Morti. "Morti is the older brother, Hunny is the younger." The twins appeared. " These are the dopplegangers, still part of the family."

I saw Huruhi, me, and Autumn now. "And you three are daddy's little girls!"

I sweat dropped. "Uhm, you're not my dad..."
And somehow, he managed to find a corner. In a limo. I sighed. Something deep inside me told me that I was going to be turned insane by the end of the year."Ok, so when do we start, Tamaki"

He emerged out, his happy face back on. "Monday afternoon. Come early so we can get you into your uniforms." The car came to a halt, and my door opened. I was staring at my house.

"Uh, I guess thanks for the ride?" Tamaki nodded once before the door was shut. I stomped up to the house, determined to kill my cousin. She had gotten me into this mess, and somehow, she was going to get me out.

I swung the door open, already running to the stairs. She would be in her room, eating candy and watching her anime, most likely. I didn't even give a second thought of the two redheads cleaning something. I just rushed up the stairs, opened her door, and started yelling out things that didn't make sense.

"AND YOU REALLY NEED A HAIR CUT!" I finished, panting for breath. She just stared at me with a confused expression.

"What did I do?" she asked innocently.

I scowled at her. "Got us blackmailed."
"And what's completely wrong with that? I happen to like the Host club."

"You only like them because you fit in with their strange persona."

"That could be it..."

"And how was I dragged into this?"

"You came to find me."

I growled. Ok, so not entirely her fault. Slightly mine. But what are you supposed to do when your only family goes missing? "Ok, I'll stop yelling at you." I turned to leave, but the red heads suddenly flashed in my mind. "Wait, why the heck are the twins here?"

I turned to her disgusted face. "Accidentally let them in. They made a big mess, I kicked their asses, and now they're cleaning up...They ARE cleaning up, aren't they?"

I nodded. It explained the blood stains. I guess that's why she wasn't so hyper. Violence always cancels out caffiene. In her world, anyway.

I retreated to my own bedroom, wondering how the heck I was going to fit in. Host clubs weren't my thing. I couldn't be swayed by their sweet words, and neither could Autumn. I didn't even like the princely charm crap.

I grabbed my guitar. Playing would be nice. I hadn't played in the past week, and it was killing me. We either practiced or did concerts every other day. So not playing was like... not breathing.

I didn't know what to play. I didn't want to play one of our songs, just not all that fun. It was a lot nicer to do covers, in my opinion. Hmmm...

Suddenly it came to me. One of Aunt Millie's favorites. Lullaby by Chase Coy. She had always sang it around the house. It drove Autumn insane, but I always loved it. Autumn had taken after her mom with such a nice voice. I hated singing in public, let alone at all.

So when I started playing the tune, I barely whispered the words.

"You can rest easyyyy, Tonight

Everything is gonna be alriiight, I promise

Go ta sleeep and dream, of me, tonight

Everything may not be perfect but at least we, try

So toonight sweet dreams,

and sleep tiight

I've been tryin so hard, can't get you out of mind

And if this is how it has to be,

Just promise you won't for-get me

And I'll leave you with this lullabyy... Toniiiiight

...

I know that this hurts you, It hurts meee to

I wish there was something I could do

to make it easier for youu

sometimes it's tough,

To soon to call it love but I wanted to

Yeah, I wanted to

But now it's to laate to sAaay all the wonderfull things

That I thought of you...

So tooo night, sweet dreeams

and sleep tiight

I've been tryin so hard, can't get you out of my mind

And if this is how it has to be,

Just promise you won't for-get me

And I'll leave you with this lullabyy... Toniiiiiiiiight"

I played the final notes, smiling slightly. I opened my eyes, which were previously closed so I could hear better. It made me less mad, thinking about my aunt. She was always there for me. I was lucky that Autumn hadn't been killed in the fire. Somehow, she had seen the beginning of it and bolted out screaming. By the time Uncle Richard heard her and got to her bedroom- It was too late.

Suddenly there was clapping at the door. My head bolted up to find a blonde standing in the doorway, clapping to his heart's content. My eyes widened before the blush creeped slowly to my cheeks.

"Uhm...Uh..." I stuttered, not even knowing what to say. I hated it when people heard me sing. It was ok for on stage for a few backround voices, but when I was all alone...

Tamaki's grin never faltered. "That was beautiful, Janessa. I didn't know you could play guitar, too. And your voice-It's so entrancing..."

More pretty words. The blush fled my face and I smiled slightly. "Thanks, but I don't have a nice voice. Autumn's the one who sings, I just play for her."

He frowned suddenly. "No, no! You should really sing more. You have a pretty voice."

I smiled slightly, but was caught off gaurd. "Wait a minute-How the heck did you get in my house?" Why hadn't I thought of that before? Seriously... I was really blind.

"Autumn let me in!"

"Figures," I grumbled. I sat the blue guitar down on my bed, forgetting all peace. Autumn seriously needed to learn not to let people in the house randomly. The whole host club was probably here. And I could have sworn Tamaki had left this house like a half hour ago.

"What's that, princess?"

"Don't call me princess."

He pouted for a moment, but I ignored him. I just pushed past him and went down the stairs. I was instantly greeted by a small, bouncing blonde. Accompanied by his silent protector, of course.

"Nessa-chan! We heard about the party!" I frowned.

"What party..."

He cocked his head to the side. "Auti-chan said that you two were throwing a party so we could get to know you better! Didn't you know?"

I sighed and shook my head. Great. Just...wonderfull. I wonder if I could opt out and retreat to me room for the night. No, they would just follow me. I was stuck. Sighing yet again, I pushed past them.

In the living room was Kyoya on his laptop, The twins finishing cleaning, and Huruhi reading a book. Mori and Hunny came in and sat on the couch. "Ok, so what kind of party did my stupid cousin throw?"

As if on cue, Autumn burst through the door that led into the den. "I brought candy!" she sang. Hunny instantly perked up and went for the bowl she was holding. Autumn laughed and held the bowl up high. "Hang on, Hunny-san. First we have to pick out a movie!"

Hunny pouted but nodded his head. Instantly Autumn threw some dvds on the ground. "Ok, there are a few options. We can watch a scary movie, which would be no fun this time of day, but anyways. We could watch a chick flick, a comedy, or we can watch some of my anime."

Kyoya didn't look up from his lap top. It made me worry of how much time he spent on that thing. He probably was on it all the time. I mean, sure, Autumn has her laptop, too. But she doesn't spend the entire day on it. She does other things too.

The twins leaped over to look at our small collection. We didn't have many movies, but we never had the time. Mori and Hunny looked at them, but quickly. Hunny really wanted that candy I guess. Suddenly Tamaki was also looking through the movies. Haruhi shrugged and went back to her book.

"Is this a commoner tradition? To watch movies with one another at a party?" Tamaki was all sparkly eyed and his hands were folded together.

I sweat dropped. "Uh, no. We are not commoners. We happen to have a lot of money. This is what we call American, dear boys."

He got wide eyed and picked up a disney movie. "We shall watch this one!" It just so happened to be the Lion King. I raised an eyebrow. Wow. These rich people sure knew a way to spoil the fun of a movie.

"Uh, sure, if you really want to watch Disney. Go for it. I think I'm going to skip out on this one." I turned to leave, but something caught my eye. I saw Kyoya writing in a freaky looking black notebook. "HOLY SHIT!" I dove behind the closest body. "Is that a Death Note? Oh god, don't kill me! I'm way too young to die... I have a career...If I die, people will be so crushed..." I started panicking. Then I realized that I had swore, then cursed myself. I hated swearing.

Kyoya looked at me over the rim of his classes. I saw him smile, slightly amused. "I can assure you, this is not a Death Note." I slowly crawled out from behind Mori. Not that it would help me any if I was hidden.

Autumn had also been slightly scared. I saw her freeze up. Hunny was tugging her sweat shirt. "Auti-cahn? Can we eat candy now?" She sanpped out of it and gave him a warm smile.

"Yeah, sure. Lemme just pop the movie in..." She went to set everything up while I just walked out of the room. Playing guitar for the reast of the night would have to do.

oOo

"No."

"Yes."

"No."
"Do it..."

"When hell freezes over."

"Well then, looks like they just opened a skii resort. Now open. Your damn. Mouth."

I was trying so hard not to laugh. The twins weren't so daring after all. I had taken a piece of popcorn, dipped in in salty butter, put cheese on it, then put pepper and garlic on it. Kouru refused to open his mouth.

"I refuse to eat such a thing."

I scowled. "I can make you eat it..."

He laughed. "Oh yeah? How?"

I punched his chest, causing him to fall onto his back from the sitting position. I pinned his arms down with my knees, and pried his mouth open. He wiggled underneath my grasp, and no one came to help him. They just watched in awe. Well, except Hikaru, who was rolling with laughter. He'd be next...

I dropped the popcorn piece into his mouth, then made him chew. "Swallow." He shook his head. "I said SWALL-OW."

He shook his head again. I sighed and decided to use my reverse phycology skills. "If you do not swallow, the taste will forever stay in your mouth. Actually, no, don't swallow. I wanna see you suffer." I ginned evily. He quickly pushed the disgusting kernal down his throught. I smiled real wide and gladly got off from stradling him.

"That was disgusting." He said, spitting out some remaining in his mouth.

"Hey! Don't spit on my carpet! Oh yeah," I turned to the still laughing Hitachiin twin. "I need to teach you a lesson too." I scrambled to my feet and placed a knee on the boy's chest. He scowled at the sudden pressure and tried to roll out. "Nope, you can stay on the ground for a bit."

Suddenly there was an evil glint in his eyes. I raised an eyebrow. Ok, what the hell was he planning? I sure wouldn't like it. Especially if it involved me. Aww shit. I jinxed it. So what is he gonna do-

I was pulled by the thigh underneath the red head and was pinned down. And of course everyone just watched. And, to my own fuming anger, Kyoya even had his stupid death note out and was watching with an ammused expression.

Hikaru grinned down at me. "Sure, your tough. But still a weak little girl..."

I scowled and kneed him right where it hurts. He jumped off of me and cried out in pain. I got to my feet and wiped imaginary dust off of my clothes. Everyone's (exception of Kyoya) eyes were bugged out. I smiled innocently. Then I glared down at the boy. "Weak little girl, my ass."

I walked over to the TV to take out the dvd. We had already watched it, and it was dark outside. And there was snow. Lots of freaking snow. My worst enemy.

"Well, gentlemen and fellow blackmailed," I got a small smile from Haruhi. "We have three options here. Only three. And we will vote." I cleared my throat dramatically. "Option one, you all go home before the snow gets a lot harder and whatnot. Option three, we sit and talk, then you can go home and do whatever it is rich jerks do. Option three, we play a board game, then I kick you people out of my house, with the exception of Haruhi, because she has been a good girl." Pause. "And I don't want freaky men in my house, eating all of my freaking stashed away cookies.."

Everyone seemed to go into a group huddle. I felt left out. I smiled and ran to the small circle. Crouched down, I crawled inbetween someones legs and went to the center. Everyone looked down at me. I smiled and waved enthusiastically. "Hi!"

I got about four confused faces. Haruhi wasn't over here, Kyoya looked amused, and Mori never really showed anything. I shot up to look at them. "What?" I said innocently.

They all broke apart, ready to declare their answer. Tamaki rose for a sudden spotlight. "Wait a minute, since when do I have a spotlight in my house?" I said quietly. I was ignored.

"In a 1 to 2 to 3 vote, we have declared option number three. Even if it involves physical harm."

I laughed. Wow. Of the choices I gave them, they pick that one. Just wow. "Um, ok. Haruhi, I guess you're staying here tonight. Thanks to your lovely host club." I shouted over at her.

"Whatever. But they're your host club now, too." she pointed out. I cringed. Unfortunatly, they were. Not an entirely good thought.

"Ok, what bored game do you guys want to play?" I asked. I had quiet a few, but they were kind of childish. Oh well.

Tamaki spoke for the group. "Well, we've only ever played monopoly at Haruhi's house. I just love commoner games!"

I raised an eyebrow. Ok... "How 'bout we play sharades. Oh gosh, yes. We are so going to play sharades. I rock at that game. Ok, so how 'bout we go into teams. Let's see...eight people...ok." I stood in front of the group. "Tamaki, Haruhi, Morti, and Hunny. You are Team A. Team B is me, Kyoya, and the devil's spawn." I jutted a thumb at the two.

"Hey!" they say in unison. I smiled.

"Ok, now... Group meeting!" I ran over to the couch, where Kyoya still sat on his laptop. I was tempted to shut it. I slowly reached my hand over to it. But as soon as I put my pinkie on it, Kyoya grabbed my hand.

"Shut it, and you will be sorry you ever were born." He glared at me over his glasses. I only smiled.

"You're not all that scary. If you would just lose the whole kill-you face, you'd be really sweet!"

I only got a glare. "Ok, now I think that Hikaru should go first. Then me, Kyoya, then Kouru."
"Why do I have to go last!" he whined.

"Because I am team captain" Pause. "And you spit on my carpet."

More glares. I smiled brightly. "Ok, now the objective of the game is to make sure they don't guess what you are. So, here's my idea..."

I rolled onto my stomach. Sleeping on a couch wasn't exactly comfortable. I groaned and found a sleeping Haruhi curled in the chair. She was cute when she slept. It was funny that she acted like a boy all the time; she only really changed her clothes. I wonder what all those girls would do if they found out she had boobs. I laughed.

The small figure stirred a bit, starting to wake up. She turned her head to me and smiled a bit. "Oh, hi Autumn." I smiled back at her.

"Hey, Haruhi. Sorry if I woke you."

She shook her head. "Nah. I should get up anyway. I have to go shopping today." She paused and looked up into my eyes. "Wanna come?"

I thought it over. I loved going to the store. So many things to break... So many fun things to play with... tempting offer. "What do you need to go buy?"

She frowned. "Well, I apparently need a tux for some stupid dance for the school. Host Club orders."

I made a face. "Do you even have enough money?" It was known she was a commoner. But I didn't care.

She scowled and rolled her eyes. "Tamaki gave me the money, my quota just went up." I laughed. She told me last night that she had accidently knocked over a vase, therefor was forced into the Host club. Black mail.

"Well, maybe I'll try on some dresses. That's fun."

She cringed. I laughed again. Such a tomboy. "Well, can I go take a shower?" I nodded.

"Upstairs, there's a bigger shower." She disappeared. I sighed and rested my head back on the couch. I was still slightly tired. Maybe some hot chocolate would fix that... Wait. Did we have any? Yes, we did. I bought it when we first got here. Hmmm... Now, I could get up and be rewarded, or I could lay down.

Hot chocolate wins everything. I got up and ran to the kitchen, practically shoving the mix into the mug. I grinned as I pushed it in the microwave, just because I didn't want to wait for the hot water to get extremely hot.

Once it got out though, the glass-type mug was really hot. And I do not believe in potholders. So I let it sit in the microwave for about five minutes while I got dressed into a knee length baby blue skirt with a white, scoop necked tanktop. I found the matching blue scarf and tied it around my neck. It was small, but was designed that way. I strapped on some white sandles and ventured back into the kitchen. What I found there, was not a pleasant scene.

My blessed hot chocolate was about to be pured down the drain. By my cousin. I screamed and launched on her. Unfortunately, the hot chocolate mug slipped out of her hand and dropped slowly to the floor. My eyes widened and time continued slowly. But suddenly a small hand reached for the mug, grasping the handle. I shrieked with joy and glomped the girl.

"Oh, Haruhi thank you so much! I thank you a million times, and I am forever in your gratitude! And I swear I will do something in return for you, in fact I think I'll buy you a new outfit. Wait, you're wearing a towel..." I pulled away and looked at her. Her hair was damp and her body still a bit moist.

"I came to ask you if you had anything I could wear...sorry I didn't prepare for a sleep over."

I waved a hand dissmissively. "No worries. I probably have something that could fit you...lemme guess, you want like a t-shirt with jeans?"

She nodded. "Yeah, thanks. Oh, here's your hot chocolate." She handed me the mug, which surprisingly didn't spill in the whole encounter. I smiled deviously before taking a big gulp of it.

"Mmmm... You can look in my dresser. Door on the left of the stairs." I motioned her up the stairs. She bounded up, leaving me, my cousin, and a half-full glass of hot chocolate. I made the tears form in my eyes. "Nessa! How could you d-do that to me!"

She rolled her eyes and went to get a waffel from the freezer. "Autumn, seriously? You don't need hot chocolate. But, I guess it's too late now..." I was chugging the last of it down.

I stared at her innocently. "Ahem. I think I will be just fine." I smiled happily. "Haruhi and I are going to the store!"

She sweat dropped before shaking her head. "Haruhi's first mistake with you..."

Me:Uh oh. What's going to happen at the store? If you have any suggestions, please leave a review. I might just use it in the story. It all depends...

Autumn: Stop being so damn mysterious. No one is going to believe you.

Me: Shut up Autumn, or I'm going to make you have special surgery to have your lips replaced with a zipper.

Autumn: You wouldn't!

Me: Don't test me.

Autumn: Ok, please review. If only for my sake? Please don't let her give me zipper lips!
