"We're going on a class trip?" Haruhi asked as we paused making instant coffee. Kyoya pushed up is eyes as Tamaki was crowded by a bunch of girls. "Since when was that planned?" She asked, looking slightly accusing as she stared Tamaki down with a slight glare.

"Tamaki thought it would be a good chance to let the girls relax, and we're going to be hosting a trip for them." Kyoya said, scribbling in his notebook. I sighed, pouring boiling water into the cups and setting some on a tray.

"Well, it's not like we can do anything about it." I mumbled tiredly as I walked over to some customers. "Would you like some?" I asked, smiling. They nodded, blushing slightly.

"Thanks so much, Yuki-kun." I nodded, and went over to the group of girls surrounding Tamaki.

"Ladies, would you like something to eat? We have lovely pastries and finger sandwiches." I smiled brightly at them. They nodded, looking at the different sweets I was carrying. As soon as they chose their treats, I set down the tray on a table and sighed, rubbing my eyes.

"Are you ok, Yu-chan?" Hunny asked. I sighed, looking down.

"I'm exhausted. I was stressing about the test I had today and I was studying so much... I didn't get that much sleep..."

"How much sleep did you get?" Haruhi asked. I thought about it for a few minutes, furrowing my eyebrows in thought.

"Maybe... about... two hours?"

Their reaction. Was. Frickin'. Scary. All conversation stopped, and everyone's heads turned to me slowly, almost robotically. It was funny, if it hadn't been so... creepy... I paled slightly, taking a hesitant step back. I was seriously creeped out, what's with these people? "Wh-what is it? It's not like I didn't get any sleep at all, and I was studying..." I said, scared that the room would crack down the middle and I would fall through the crack, or they would burn holes in me with their stairs. "I-it's nothing to be worried about — Uwah!" I cried out in shock as I was lifted and thrown over someone's shoulders firemen style. "M-Mori-sempai!" I protested, squirming as I pushed on his shoulders.

"Hang in there, Yuki! We won't let you suffer from lack of sleep!"

I sighed. These guys... it's nothing to worry about... but... as they set me down on a bed in the nurse's office, I couldn't help but feel my eyelids get heavy, as my eyes closed.

✪η✪

I opened my eyes when I heard the sound of something scratching. I blinked, yawned, and rubbed my eyes. A blurry figure from the corner of my eye paused, and the scratching stopped.

"Miss Takahashi? Are you feeling better now?" A pleasant, high-pitched voice called out. I nodded, sitting up.

"Yeah... I slept really good..." I mumbled, yawning again. There was a nurse in a pink uniform standing over me, looking concerned. I recognized her as the nurse that Haruhi told me about when she got her physical exams. "Is school over?" I asked.

"Yes. Everyone left about half an hour ago." I nodded, even though a part of me groaned. I would have to walk home now. Not that it was far; it was just a pain...

"Have a nice day!" She smiled brightly and waved at me as I slung my bag over my shoulder and closed the door. I rubbed my eyes, feeling sleepy as I walked down the long road to the gate. When I saw someone standing in front of the gate, I blinked.

"Megumi?" He turned to me, smiling and lifting up a hand in greeting.

"Yo! I thought you might need a ride home." I blinked, before smiling.

"Yeah, thanks." I got into his car, and we drove off. "So how did you know I was still here?" I asked.

"I ran into Fujioka-kun on the way here, he said you were still at school." He said. I nodded, playing with the zipper of my bag. Didn't he know Haruhi was a girl? I'm sure he noticed... then again, maybe not. I sighed, leaning back.

"I'm tired... and I have homework. Ugh..." I closed my eyes, feeling the car stop. Megumi's thumb tapped softly against the steering wheel as he waited for the light to change.

"That's why you go to bed early." He said.

"I can't help it. It's Hosting, and schoolwork, and the café too, so I don't have a lot of free time." I yawned.

"Then skip a day or two."

"I can't do that, then I'll have more work to do."

"Brainwash your teachers."

"Megumi!" I hit his arm lightly, smiling as he laughed.

"Just kidding, just kidding." He said playfully. I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him. When we pulled up to my house, I opened the door and slung my bag over my shoulder once more.

"Thanks for the ride, Megumi." He nodded.

"No problem. Anytime you need a ride, call me." I nodded as he drove off, and fumbled around for the keys to my house. I stepped in, and took a deep breath. It was good to be home after a long day.

"Welcome home!"

"GAH!" I yelped as I was tackled by three figures, and out of pure instinct, flipped them off of me onto the floor. "T-Tamaki-sempai!? Hikaru!? Kaoru!? What the hell are YOU doing here!?" I yelled, pointing an accusing finger at them and glaring. They huddled in a corner as Mori, Haruhi, Kyoya, and Hunny walked in.

"We wanted to make sure you came home ok." Haruhi said, completely unaffected by my outburst. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I would have to get it cut soon.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Megumi drove me home." I said, shrugging my bag off my shoulder and walking to the fridge. I took out a bottle of water, and gulped half of it. "Man, I'm sleepy. So why exactly are you guys here?" I asked. Tamaki held up a bag, and I eyed it suspiciously.

"It's not another dress, is it?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No. It's the school uniform! We though you should wear one. After all, it's been almost a month since you came here."

"That's right, Yu-chan!" Hunny popped up, clutching Usa-chan to his chest, his big, warm brown eyes shining. I smiled slightly.

"Yeah, I guess. Thanks guys." I took the bag from Tamaki and walked to my bedroom, setting it next to the bed.

"It's our pleasure. There's no way I could let my daughter come to school in that sweater! Simply unheard of!" My eye twitched.

"Oh? What's wrong with my clothes, Sempai?" He gulped, and waved his hands nervously.

"Nothing at all! Nothing at all!" He laughed loudly and anxiously. I yawned again.

"Whatever. Can you guys leave?" Tamaki gasped.

"Mommy! Our daughter is being rebellious! She doesn't even want to see her how family!"

"I see you guys every day and you're complaining NOW!?"

Sometimes I wonder why I put up with them...
