Read and Review Please!
One random day at the host club, don't know who said it but the topic of the beach was brought up. "We should go to the beach!" Hikaru shouted out after closing, Kaoru nodded "Yeah, so we can see Haruhi and Mari in bathing suits!" Before Haruhi or Mari said anything Tamaki shouted at them "How dare you trying to sexually harass my daughters! Mother! The terrible two are thinking naughty things!" Kyouya sighed, pushed his glasses up and went back typing on his laptop. Tamaki hugged Haruhi and Mari tightly saying "Daddy will protect you, my daughters!!!" Rani laughed at the scene, she turned to Kyouya "Do you think it's a good idea to go?" Kyouya simply shrugged and Tamaki suddenly shouted "We, the Host Club are going to the beach!" Mari flinched and Rani looked at Mari worriedly. Kyouya nodded "Alright then, I'll make the arrangements."
On the way home in the car, a civic, Mari was driving, Haruhi was in the passenger seat, and Rani was in the back seat. None of them were talking as the music was blasting "Luv Addict" by Family Force Five. Rani finally spoke up "You know, you can, not go to the beach" Mari nodded; Haruhi looked confused "What's the matter?" Rani was about to say something but Mari spoke first "I can't be near bodies of water…I can't swim either." Haruhi blinked, then nodded
"I understand."
~At the Beach~
As the host club arrived at Kyouya's family's private beach, everyone stared at awe, Rani noticed Mari's grip on her bag tighten. Rani whispered in Punjabi "It's ok just stay away from the water." Rani looked up at the sky. "I hope there's no thunderstorm coming" she muttered to herself. Mari nodded. When looking at their swimsuits, Haruhi was wearing a dark blue t-shirt with swim trunks, Rani was wearing a dark purple tankini outfit, and Mari was wearing a blue one piece with trunks and dark baggy t-shirt. The rest of the guys were wearing trunks.
The customers were enjoying with the members at the beach Tamaki flirting, Hunny playing cutely with Mori behind him, Rani was collecting sea shells with some girls and Mari and Haruhi were sitting away from the water on a towel talking. "When he said that, I almost punched him, but Kin, being a bitch, stopped me." Mari was telling a story until a group of girls came up to them "Um, Mari-kun, Haruhi-kun, would like to swim with us?" Mari panicked for a moment but Haruhi replied
"It's better to watch the ocean than swim in it."
"Then is it alright if we join you?"
"Sure"
Mari sighed in relief "Thanks" she whispered to Haruhi and she smiled back "no problem"
Mari looked at the scenery as Haruhi went to Hunny and Mori. Rani walked by Mari "You're doing a great job!" Mari looked up "Yeah I am…" Rani sat down next to her "Don't worry" she whispered "Just don't show it." Mari nodded and soon heard the girls screaming. They both turned to Tamaki holding a big crab and Haruhi throwing something away. Mari got up and walked to Haruhi "What just happen?" Haruhi was about to explain but Hikaru and Kaoru popped out "Hey Haruhi, we assumed you're a kind, bug-loving girl…but can't you at least throw the bug away more gently?" Mari raised an eyebrow "It can't die from that height."
"Ne? Mari you're not afraid of bugs?" both asked her. "No, why should I?" Mari replied back.
~Later On~
The rest of the day was entertaining the guests, exploring and other stuff. Mari and Haruhi were collecting shells and other fish for dinner later on. "Haruhi-kun! Mari-kun! Hey! The wind feels good here!" Both looked up to see the same girls up on a huge rock-cliff. "What are you guys doing there?" Mari asked "It's dangerous." Haruhi said. Soon the girls were approached by thug-looking guys; both ran to save the girls. When one of them is holding a girl near the edge, Mari side kicked him as Haruhi threw the spiked shells at the other one. "Oi assholes," Mari said angrily "Piss off; they don't like your come ons" "They think it's annoying." Haruhi shouted back angrily as well. The leader got pissed and grabbed Haruhi, the other guy tried to grab Mari but she flipped him over. When she turned; she saw Haruhi about to be thrown off. Mari ran and pulled both back, she was about to punch him but he pushed her off the cliff first. "MARI!" she heard Haruhi and Tamaki shout out to her, she saw Tamaki dive to get her but she hit the water first.
Panic immediately hit Mari as she was sinking; she grabbed her neck and felt the flashbacks haunting her.
"Why don't you die?!"
"You're a whore like your mother!"
"Drown bitch! Drown!"
Tamaki quickly grabbed her and pulled her up to shore. "Mari!" Rani shouted, running to Tamaki carrying Mari bridal style, everyone else ran after her. "We had them leave their IDs and courteously asked them to leave. The girls have returned to the hotel, I called a doctor, one should be coming soon." Kyouya explained. Tamaki gently put Mari down on her feet, but she was still clutching to her neck in shock her whole body shaking and, her eyes still wide. Rani came up to her; she gently grabbed her hands and pulled them away from Mari's neck. She whispered "It's ok…you're fine…" Mari sank to her knees still in shock "…Papi…" Rani shook her head "He's not here; he's not going to hurt you again." "Ma-chan?" Hunny said softly looking at Mari with concern. Mari turned slowly to him. "Hunny…" she spoke softly.
Tears started to stream down Mari's face.
"Mari won't come out of her room." Rani said as she sat down at the dining table. Hikaru and Kaoru sighed. "Ne, Rani-chan, not to be rude, but do you what happen to her to make her act that way?" Hikaru asked. Rani stood quiet until the doors opened revealing Haruhi with Mori. Haruhi walked up to Rani "How's she?"Rani looked at the window "She won't come out." Dinner was quiet, Rani took noticed that Tamaki and Haruhi were arguing. Rani looked out the window, seeing the sky is getting dark. Rani's grip in her chair tightens then Kyouya said "It's only a thunderstorm coming Rani-san." She looked at him. She muttered to herself in Punjabi:
"That's the problem."
Rani came into Mari's room with a plate in one hand "I brought you some crab…" Mari was laying on her side in her bed facing the giant window of her room. She didn't answer her. Rani came to her night stand and put the plate down. "You need to eat…Mari" Rani said quietly. Mari didn't reply. Rani sighed in defeat and left the room.
As she was walking down the hall to her room, loud thunder roared out. Rani, quickly in fear jumped catching herself and banged herself against the wall. Rani panicked and another thunder roared out causing her body to shake. Rani sat there in fear, shaking. She soon went into a fetal position, starting to cry and remembering why she hates storms.
"She overdosed on anti-depressives and got alcohol poisoning."
"She left a note."
"What a cruel person, to leave her only child alone."
"She wanted to join her husband and son instead taking care of her only family left."
"She wrote that she had no hope for Rani…"
"She committed suicide on this dark depressing day."
"A widow to commit suicide is common with her people."
"I have no hope for this child…"
"Rani-san?"
Rani looked up to see Kyouya kneeling over her with a worried look. "Are you alright?" he spoke softly as he helped her stand up. Rani was silent but continued crying. But when another thunder broke out, Rani cried out "No!" and cried even harder. Kyouya quickly grabbed her and held her close to him. He let her cry into his chest. After a moment, Kyouya quietly led her to his room and closed the door.
Duh Duh Duh!!!! I feel really happy for no reason!
Maybe it's because I'm hanging out with my best buddy tomorrow (Yay!)
