She felt the beat change as did her opponents foot pattern. Bennie had rescued her from the overly interested girls and the side glances from Mitskuni. She side stepped the strike, and struck back with a hit. She had returned home to find Chika and Satoshi, Chika almost begged for her to teach him. So she did, she had changed into her pink sports bra and pink short shorts. She had entered the dojo, bowed, and looked up to find eager faces. She spoke hard and loud;

"The Amaya's have been a clan of powerful women and men since the beginning of time. They specialize in sensory deprivation training to hone in the body's natural senses. They trained and fought as equals, with as little clothing as possible… Why do you think that is?" Chika was the first to answer, his eyes where wide.

"Distraction?" He offered up.

"Hand to hand combat. So there was nothing to grab on to." Satoshi stated with a smile. He knew her family history, the legendary people and the mystery that surrounds it.

"Both good answers… We specialize in not only hand to hand combat but the precuts of not only chi- blocking but pressure points. Things, that if done incorrectly or purposely can and will kill. Our weapons?" Chika looked at a loss for words, Satoshi sat grinning.

"Woman carry around not only Kunai and shurikin; Venomous Neko-ti , bladed tessen, tanto, tetso-bushi, shobo and manriki-gusari can all be found on her person at any given time. The men carry kusari-gama, hanbo, and swords." Satoshi said triumphantly.

"If you don't wear clothes where d you hide it all?" She smirked, and walked to the far wall.

"In my case I train with more sensory distractions." She touched the panel and it opened to reveal a stereo system. She retrieved her mp3 player from her bra and plugged it in, she turned the subwoofer up and the vocals down. She turned it on and promptly felt the floor vibrate with the first lines of whatever song her shuffle hit. She pulled her bandana from the waste band of her shorts and tied it over her eyes.

"Shall we?"

She side stepped again and pivoted as he came at her again. This time he caught himself and fallowed her pivot landing a strike on her arm. She grinned; she had made him cover his eyes as well.

"Very good" she said as she came to a stop. She cleared her mind and felt the air shift, she ducked and popped up in time land her fist in his stomach. The beat switched and slowed and she felt him bounce as he hit the ground.

**POV**

**Takashi**

The host club had insisted on visiting his home after school, she had apparently interested them. 'are they that bored?' he thought as they walked through the main door. He could feel the floor pulse, the sound of techno music was faint. But the pulse was strong, it sounded like it was coming from the dojo. Curious he led them down the hallway and slid the dojo door open, just in time to see a blindfolded Lieko doge a blindfolded Chika. She bounced out of Chika's reach, he would correct himself and try again.

"He's gotten better" I looked down to see a slightly ruffed up Satoshi sitting on the dojo floor. I looked down and him and he turned his attention back to them. Mitskuni stiffened beside me, 'I don't think he's seen a half naked woman before' he thought as he patted his head. He looked over to see, with the exception of Haruhi, four bloody noses. He looked down at Mitskuni whose nose had also began to bleed a little. He looked to Lieko, she was moving gracefully, and her china doll skin had a thin sheen to it as she practically danced around Chika. She was warring one of her bra thingys and some short athletic shorts.

"I must say she is most impressive, she vanished from the public eye right before the Knedo championships almost six years ago. It's nice to see she is still... In shape…." Kyoya said discreetly wiping the smidge of blood from his face.

"Perverts… The only one not a pervert is Mori-Sempai" Haruhi said as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm not a pervert!" Mitskuni said looking up at Haruhi, she looked down at him with straight face.

"Do you need a tissue Honey-Sempai."

"What's with the music?" Hikaru asked slightly confused. "She's deaf.." Satoshi was more than happy to oblige his curiosity.

"It makes it harder to feel where her opponent is. "

"What?" Karu said scratching Hikaru's head for him.

"When a sense is lost, the body compensates."

"So the bandana?"

"Sensory deprivation." Mitskuni said mater-o-factly, he smiled big. "She's training more than Chika" Takashi looked at him, one second he hated her, the next he was giving a happy explanation. 'She mite have kicked som sense into him… Or scared him…' he though.

"MITSKUNI!" Chika appeared out of nowhere, his foot found Mitskuni's face. They began to fight, as they normally did when they saw one another. Lieko practically teleported to the door way, she stood arms crossed over her pink clad chest. Takashi looked over at her, she seemed more preoccupied with monitoring the fight. It wasn't long until she evaporated, and Chika and Mitskuni went flying in opposite directions. Lieko went after Chika.

"What did I tell you about doing something you know nothing about…"
"I-" He backed away afraid.

"You where about to paralyze your brother! Then where would you be?" She said, the danger oozed from her words. "and you" she turned to Mitskuni. "Who taught you to expose your back for a second to an opponent. "

"It was an accident" Mitskuni said in defense.

"THAT'S NO EXCUSE" Lieko barked. "Chika, drop and give me pushups until I say stop… Mitskuni, sit ups go!" Chika complied without question; Mitskuni looked to Takashi and pouted. Lieko simply sat cross-legged with her hands in her lap. She straitened her back and her breathing became even.

"Takashi" he whined, with big eyes.

"You are the one that messed up, don't question the Sensai." He said, he turned to his friends. "we shall retire to the lounge room for tea… and sweets…" Mitskuni pouted some more, but did as Lieko told him.

**30 min later**

Mitskuni and Chika poured themselves into the lounge with a groan. They sat quietly amongst everybody, Haruhi poured them both a cup of tea. Takashi felt the floor stop pulsing, she had turned the stereo off.

"Did you invite her to tea?" Takashi said over the rim of his cup. Both boy's face paled, they swallowed hard.

"S-She was going to clean up…."

"Chika I'm surprised at how rude you where." Satoshi grabbed his friend's cheeks and pulled. "She was nice enough to take the time to do what you asked her to and you don't invite her to have tea!"

"Oh my, boys she may have been hard on you, but you must always remember to be a gentlemen." Tamaki said smiling.

"You weren't very gentlemanly when you where oogling her boss." The twins said in unison.

"I was not!"

"Pervert…Pervert…"

"I'll go take care of it" Takashi said standing. He looked over his shoulder on his way out. "No sweets Mitskuni…"

**POV**

**Lieko**

She had found his room, and sure enough her bed was there in one piece. It was put together and maid, a note was on her pillow. 'Your dresser is in the closet, equipment in the top drawer. Under garments and night things in the second. Your jewelry boxes and body piercing pouch is in the third with your makeup bag… Everything else is hanging… Your bath basket is under the sink, there are no athletic clothes in the bathroom closet. I have finished altering the boys uniform into the girls for you, fallowed the scetches u made up in the Chairmans office, you seemed busy. It's on the manqué in the closet as well. B~'

Lieko walked into the massive walk in closet and quickly found her section. She opened up the second drawer and rustled through her unmentionables until she found the white lace bra and matching boy short panties. She searched the hangers until she found her blue sun dress. She removed it and left the closet and into the bathroom. She tossed her clothes on the marble counter and stripped, and retrieved her bath basket. She opened his closet and found towels, linen, and a few pairs of sweat pants. She retrieved her purple towel from the back of her shelf and hung it up on the shower's bar. She opened up the stain glass panels and turned on the tap. She looked up and was shocked to see it was more than a shower; it appeared to also be a rain locker. The shower had six heads mounted on the wall, each pointed in different directions. She pulled the tab and watched them spring to life; the pressure looked like it was heavenly. She stepped inside with her basket and sighed.

After her shower; she quickly dried, brushed her teeth and put her garments on. She retrieved her brush from the side of the basket. Brushing through her damp hair she walked out into the bedroom to fins Takashi sitting on the bed. He smiled at her a little and stood crossing the room to her. He didn't hesitate; he pulled her to him and crushed his mouth to hers. She closed her eyes and leaned in, felt her heart skip a beat when he swiped his tongue agents her mouth asking for entrance. She permitted it, wrapping her arms around his neck. He tasted like hot cinnamon, she was thankful she brushed her teeth. She felt his arms snake around her waist; she sighed and remembered he had friends… Or she thought he did, It was hard to tell through the beat and Chika. She broke the kiss and looked up into his grey eyes.

"Don't you have friends down stairs?" He simply nodded and took her hand leading her to the lounge. He slid the door open and was ambushed by Suoh.

"You're getting married!" She could read his lips clear as day. Takashi glared at Satoshi who pointed at Chika. Lieko noticed the tea pot had been knocked over, and cakes had been sent flying.

"He did it" he spoke and signed. Lieko sighed left the door way walking down the hall to the kitchen. The cook looked surprised but welcomed her in.

"It appears we have had an accident... May we please have some snacks and tea four our guests?" She said with a warm smile. The cook smiled back and loaded up a large silver tray with more tea and cakes. She picked it up and returned to the lounge to find a crying Mitskuni, a silently frustrated Takashi and shocked guests. She set the tray down gently and picked up one of the vanilla cakes with a blueberry topping, she knelt down next to Mitskuni.

"Here Honey-kun, don't cry" she set it down in front of him, and cleared his tipped tea cup. She bussed the table quickly as the chaos ensued around her. She left briefly to drop off the tipped tea cups and other items in the kitchen sink, grabbed a rag wet rag, and returned to find the room, it had returned to some order. Though Suoh was now moping in the far corner, Mitskuni was still crying though Fujioka was trying to comfort him. Mitskuni's cake remained untouched; Takashi sat silently and watched her intently as she knelt next to the crying boy again. "What wrong? If you don't like the cake I can get you one you do like."

"I love cake." He huffed cutely.

"Then what's wrong?"

"I can't have it cuz Takashi is a meanie!" He looked up at her with his big brown eyes. She smiled down at him.

"Well, did you ask why before you commenced to pouting?" His eyes got big and he looked down at his hands. Lieko quickly wiped the table down before she set a fresh tea cup in front of everyone. She was pouring the tea when she felt him answer.

"No" He murmured. Lieko laughed a little and patted his head. "Would you like some cake?" He offered her his piece, she smiled.

"No thank you, I can't have sweets." He pouted

"Your just like Chika, he doesn't like sweets either."

"I love sweets, but I can't have them. There's a difference." She said as she stood, Bennie had popped her head into the room. "Pardon me" she said as she made her way out of the room. Bennie promptly handed Lieko her phone, complete with violet and white otterbox. She had a message, clicking on it she scowled.

Taro: Tell your mother that you are lying, or I will cut you off and make your life hell

12:00pm.

Lieko smiled, she didn't need it any way she already had a fortune in her personal accounts built from her investment and commission for M.M.M. Inc. The next was from her mom:

Mom: I found it in your closet. I tracked down the lawyer you went through, it's all legitimate… I'm leaving Taro. 2:00pm

This made Lieko more than giddy, she bounced up and down before she hugged Bennie. 'Life is good right now. Mitskuni is not trying to kill me. Mom is leaving Taro. I'm starting school tomorrow' She though, the door behind her slid open and a hand came to her shoulder. Looking over her shoulder she saw Fujioka who smiled.

"Everything ok?" she signed.

"Yupp" Lieko said grinning. She returned to the lounge and happily sat at the only spot at the table without a tea cup. She noticed they way the boys where looking at her, more protective of Takashi than anything.

"So, Fujioka how did you learn sign language" Lieko asked to break the ice, she smiled warmly. She watched Suoh and one of the twins speak . Fujioka looked sweet as she explained.

"My mom thought it was important to be able to communicate with all types of clients. So mom started to teach me and I just continued. There are some deaf people in the neighborhood, I help them out sometimes."

"Your mother is a very intelligent woman." Lieko said smiling warmly.

"Was, she passed away over ten years ago." She looked down at her teacup.

"I'm sorry…" Lieko said, she noticed Bennie entering the room with a silver tray and a black Velcro case. Lieko rolled her eyes as the tray was set before her. A large glass of ice cold sprite; a small bowl of sliced strawberrie with blueberries, blackberries and what looked like watermelon, half of a tuna salad on fresh whole wheat bread with spinach, tomatoes and onion. She was promptly handed the Velcro case. "Seriously… Now?" She said looking up at Bennie, her face was unmoving. Bennie tapped her on the head with the end of her newspaper.

"What is that?" The twins pointed to the black case in her hand. She smiled nervously scratching her head.

"My testing kit, I'm diabetic." They seemed shocked, probably because they thought it was a "fat" person's disease. This was something she inherited from her father, it had actually killed him.

"But your..."

"Skinny…" She laughed lightly, she hated that word. . "I hate that word, and I am not. Skinny implies that I have little to no body fat… Which is bad for not only a woman but a fighter."

"Why is it bad for girls to have little to no body fat?" Honey asked innocently.

"Because we are suppose to have body fat. Otherwise we become not only sick, but unable to have children" His face paled as Lieko rolled her eyes.

"Anyway I have Hypoglycemia, meaning it's too low."

"But then you can have cake!" Honey cheered holding his up again.

"Sometimes, but it's just better to eat healthy…"

"Soda is not healthy." The twins pointed out grinning.

"I am not without my vices." Lieko said as she opened the case and set up her device under the table. She pricked her finger and held it to the test strip, it was only a few seconds before she got her answer. The little screen read 65, Lieko cringed knowing Bennie was going to be on top of her for letting it get so low. She handed it to Bennie and surely enough she received another swat with the newspaper.

"I'll go get you a real sprite." She said as she disappeared. She looked down at the fruit and sighed, she looked over at Chika who was sitting silently. Lieko slid the fruit bowl across the table to him.

"She's trying to over feed me." She said simply as she sipped on the purple straw in her sprtie. She smiled, Bennie had given her a sprtie zero it was low on the sugar scale.

"She's not going to hit me if I eat it." He asked eyeing the fruit with interest. Lieko shrugged her shoulders as she took a bite out of her sandwich. He decided to take his chances and devoured it before Bennie returned. She paid little attention to what was going on around her while she ate, she found reality again when she felt a prick in her arm. She looked over to see Bennie with her tester unit again.

"You didn't eat the fruit, its only 75."

"Chika needed a snack he could eat." Lieko said flatly, she was happy to not be center of attention for a moment. A bag of gummy bears appeared on the table in front of her, she smiled and instantly abducted it.

Fukioka looked over at Lieko and signed slightly annoyed.

"They want you to play 20 questions"

"Ok" She said popping a red gummy bear into her mouth, she looked around to see intent faces. They were going to make Fujioka sign for them.

"How long have you and Mori-Sempai been together."

"Long distance for eleven years." Lieko said counting with her fingers.

"Favorite food?"

"Sushi, and shellfish."

"Least favorite?"

"Hamburgers."

"Your Vices?"

"Clear Soda, Gummy anything and Coconut cake."

"Color?"

"Violet and white."

"The Color you hate?"

"Neon Orange" Fujioka looked a little wierded out by the next one.

"Favorite smell?"

"Ummm… Coconut, sunscreen, vanilla, Stetson or Old Spice, the smell of fresh snow fall, the smell of rain or thunderstorms."

"Do you have any tattoos?"

"Yes." This seemed to surprise Takashi.

"Where?"

"I have 'Death Before Dishonor' down my spine. All Amaya women have it tattooed down their spine. I ware cover-up most of the time." She turned her back to them and moved her hair, and sure enough in dark black letters. She knew they could only see from the base of her neck to the top of her sundress.

" Piercings?"

"35." This shocked them, Suoh toppled over. "I have 12 in each ear, 2 lip piercings, one in my left nostril, one in my right eyebrow, one in my tongue, four in my navle… More rites of passage."

"That's only 33." Ottori pointed out, she raised her eyebrow.

"The missing two you can guess."

"Seriously!" Fujoka signed, she seemed to be in pain.

"Rights of passage are almost always painful in some way." Fujioka glared at the twins, Honey had fainted. Chika and Satoshi exscused themselves from the room. "What?" Takashi replied signing from across the table.

"They asked if you have ever had sex." He was blunt, but she could see the curiosity behind his strong motif.

"No, I have not had sex with any one, or anything."

"You're not embarrassed to say anything?" Fujioka signed.

"No, and I have little modesty."

"Why?"

"You did see what I ware to work out in… I fight in little more… Therese no point in modesty when you are forced to share locker rooms or showers with the opposite sex, if you want to be clean that is. I would never willingly strip in public."

"Have you ever been naked in front of Takashi?" she had been looking directly at Hikaru so she caught it off his smirking lips.

"Sure, when we were kids."

"Do you share a room?"

"Untill this morning no. I lost a game of HORSE…" She glared at Takashi, 'smart ass' she thought as she looked at the twins.

"Any more 'embarassing' questions?"

"Bra size?"

"36 C"

"Leather or lace?"

"Why choose?"

"Thong or briefs?"

"Boy Shorts, the female equivalent to boxer briefs"

"Porn?"

"I have no preference. You're out of questions." Lieko said popping a green gummy into her mouth. "But I know what your groups are." The twins looked interested, and smirked.

"Likely story."

"I noticed in your bag you have a copy of Triple M's manga trio. 'Flight of the Fallen Angels', 'Play Time', and 'Chasing charming'. You're probably more into Cameron from FFA, which means your preference is anything with more than a pair, hetro or non." The blushed, she knew she had it.

"Perceptive.. Tamaki's"

"Soft core."

"Kyoya"

"Kinky… That's as far as I'm going with his."

"Honey's"

"… Believe it or not 'Dominating'."

"How did you get that?" The twins asked as if she had gotten it wrong.

"Because he is darker than you give him credit for. He's a bunny, cute and cuddly until he bites off a finger."

"Fine miss know it all, Mori's?"

" I don't know, I haven't looked into it."

"seriously, you say you have no modesty."

"I'm honest. I only know what I know because some of you ooz it. Mori dose not, and I haven't been in his room yet… "

"Haruhi's" she blushed and glared at the twins. Lieko eyed her for a moment, she smirked and shrugged her shoulders.

**Later**

Lieko was glad to see them leave, she felt she had entertained them enough for one day. The twins seemed interested in the fact she wasn't afraid to answer any questions, she found no value in lying or being anything less than blunt when it came to things that might be embarrassing. Takashi sat there quietly and hadn't seemed to care what they asked her. After dinner, she retired to the bedroom. Her big foofy bed seemed out of place in his room. It was sparkly decorated, but spacious. She laughed lightly as she dove onto the bed, she bounced a little before she settled on top of the comforter. She closed her eyes and dozed a little, she felt the disturbance in the air but really didn't care. A hand rested itself on her calf, she opened one eye to see Takashi already shirtless in pajama bottoms.

She took it as her cue to get ready for bed. She popped up and went to the closet to retrieve her nighty. She decided on her new silky black one, and glided inot the bathroom closing the door. It hadn't taken long for her to strip off the blue sun dress and replace it with the slinky black number. She quickly used the facilities, brushed her teeth, and braided her hair before returning to the bed. The lights were out, but she could tell that Takashi had already turned the covers down. He was standing by the open window. He looked extremely sexy as he loomed there in the moon light, it cast fleeting shadows over his tanned skin and muscled torso. She joined him in the moonlight, she traced a finger over his shoulder as she reached his side. She saw the goosebumps rise on his skin, before he looked at her with lustfull intent in his black eyes.
