Chapter 9

"Love is hard to find, but it's so easy to destroy'.

As Gin is sitting at her table like always drinking a cup of tea, she overhears the twins sneak closer to her, Hikaru lays his fingers on her chin and Kaoru leans closer to her, his lips almost on her ear.

'And besides, who hasn't fantasied about twins? Two lovers is better than one, don't you think?' asks Hikaru.

'It's a young woman's romantic fantasy' adds Kaoru.

'Well uhm… No. That's just disgusting, I wouldn't ever be able to share a bed with two guys. Plus, I don't have a thing for two of the same, that's like there's no specialty about it at all, because there are two of it after all…' She smirks as the twins look deeply hurt 'But you guys are different than you think, making you one of a kind' She tries to ease the pain and even though she knows she can't take her words back, easing the pain is better 'I mean, you guys aren't the: second-same-product-for-free thing' She looks at them and smirks mischievously 'And besides, isn't it the dream of a guy to have two female lovers? After all, there's nothing more sexy in a boy's eyes than two naked hot woman' She leans with her chin on one hand as she looks at the twins 'Am I mistaking?'.

At that moment a cold shivers runs down Gin's spine, causing her to turn and look at a giant dark wooden double door 'What the hell? Since when is there a door there?' she frowns a little, trying to remember the door in her memory.

'Toys, toys, toys' Says a creepy sing-song voice from a crack of the mystery doors 'If you like toys than you should come and visit my black magic club. We've opened up a market place that boosts black magic items across the globe. Where're also holding mass around the clock'.

'Interesting' Gins stands up, she has always had this thing for paranormal stuff, like black magic and ghosts 'By any chance, you also sell white candles with engravings? I want to have some for my family's grave when we go back to the Netherlands one day'.

'Of course' answers the voice, the head of some guy in a black cloak moving through the crack of the door, only his nose and mouth visible.

'And do you sell these kind of special scales, normally you would burn something in it for a spell, but I need it to place the candles on. It must be a beautiful scale, made of iron or something, do you mind to show me in…?' She walks towards the black hooded dude, still in the doorway and the shadow.

'Come with me my lovely lamb… step into the darkness. If you visit right now, I'll throw in some curse doll. You could have Belzanef as a free gift'.

'Cool. maybe I can curse Kyoya so he won't try to be "Funny" anymore…' Gin grins and looks form the corner of her eye at the dark haired male approaching. She walks over to creepy-guy and turns towards the room to watch Tamaki cower in fear and the other hosts with their guests w=just watching the scene 'Hey, you guys need something?'.

'Don't get involved with that guy Gin and Haruhi. If you do, you'll end up cursed!' Tamaki shout/whispers, starting a story about his curse when he stepped on "Belzanef the curse doll" which is on that guy's hand.

'That's so cool' Gin looks at the curse doll 'So that thing really works!'.

'That only happened because you were so scared you accidently walked into the beginning Greek class and took their exam' says Kyoya's monotone voice, causing Gin to sweat-drop while picturing Tamaki fuss over that exam.

'No! It was a curse, I know because three days later I woke up and my legs were as heavy as lead. Just how do you explain that?' snaps Tamaki back, angry that his best friend doesn't believe him.

'Your legs were heavy because you ran a marathon the day before, remember?' Kyoya explains.

The creepy guy starts to grow tired of these non-believers and interrupts the matter 'You shouldn't underestimate… the dark powers of Belzanef the curse doll. All you have to do is write somebody's name on its back. Then that person is certain to come face to face with Miss Fortune'.

'Wow this guy really is dark' Says Hikaru.

'Unbelievers!' Gin snarls 'Don't you say it like you know everything about the paranormal activity of this world, because you don't know the half of it'. They all, except for Nekozawa and Mori, look rather shocked at her sudden outburst.

'Don't you talk about things you don't understand. If there's something I hate it's people who think funny of the paranormal'.

'You believe in black magic, Gin?' asks Honey, clenching his bunny Usa-Chan tight to his chest.

'No, but you say it like you don't believe in things like ghosts, spirits and such, either' answers Gin with a frown.

'But ghosts are scary! I don't want to believe in them!' Cries Honey, tears starting to form in his eyes.

'Whatever…' Gin rolls her eyes and turns back to the darkness behind the door.

'Supposedly he hates bright lights, I wonder what he'll think of this' Kaoru grabs a simple flash light and Gin grins as they shine it to Nekozawa's face who starts screaming like a little child, running away towards the door screaming "Murderers!" but closing the door behind himself and her.

Gin grabs his cloak when he wants to walk away, taking out a Belzanef Curse Doll 'Nekozawa-senpai. Please don't curse them. They may be idiots but they can't help their nature...'. He looks at her from behind his black wig-hair and smiles lightly at the anger but care in her eyes.

'I understand. As you wish my princess of the Darkness'.

Gin rolls her eyes as she follows him into the pitch black room 'The guys at Ouran keep getting weirder and weirder'.

XxX

When Gin returns from what Tamaki calls "Hell" She's hugged by the blonde idiot like there's no tomorrow.

Gin: 'Look, Tamaki. There's no such thing as black magic'.

Tamaki: 'But you did believe just a second ago'.

Gin: 'Yes, in ghosts. Not in black magic'.

Tamaki: 'You believe in ghosts? Why, Gin? Do you see them? Aren't you scared? Tell your dear brother!'.

Gin: 'You're NOT my brother, luckily, if that were so that would mean we are twins. And no, I can't see them or hear them. But I do feel their energy'.

'You mean… you're paranormally gifted?' Tamaki looks at her, pale as a sheet and scared to dead, he backs off, hiding behind Kyoya who "Unintentionally" overheard their conversation..

'You mean she's delusional? In other words: Crazy, imagining things, downright lying?' asks Kyoya without looking up from his always black notebook. Gin gives him a cold glare 'Don't think you know everything Kyoya. Just because you can't feel or see them, doesn't mean I can't nor that's I'm lying. You're just thinking that as long as you can't see them, there isn't such a thing. And that's why I hate unbelievers, they think others are crazy because they can't do what someone else can'.

'By saying you hate unbelievers, do you say you hate me?' he asks calmly, slightly amused 'Scientists have proven there's no such thing as ghosts. So you're hating almost everyone sane, including me'.

'Yes, in fact I am. Kyoya, I hate you. There, I said it right in your face, deal with it' She glares at him coldly and walks away towards the twins and Haruhi. The words had pained herself, she doesn't want to hate him, she doesn't hate him at all. She's just angry about the way people think. Why won't people believe in the super natural? Why can't they see beyond their own believes and accept others their believes?

'Hey Gin' Greet the twins.

'Are you ready to play the which one is Hikaru game?' asks Hikaru.

'Sure… what are the rules?' she sits down and tiredly leans with her chin on her hands, watching them with a frown.

'It's easy. You just guess which one of us is Hikaru, and explain it to us with a good reason for your choosing. No random guesses' Answers Kaoru, explaining it to her. They put on their caps and move around each other to make it more difficult.

'So?' Hikaru tilts his head a little to the side.

'Which one of us is Hikaru?' asks Kaoru.

'That one's Hikaru, and that one's Kaoru' She points at themselves without hesitation, knowing she's right.

'Sorry, you guessed wrong!' they chorus with smiles.

'No I didn't' she answers blankly 'I could separate you since I started school here. It's not all that difficult to tell you apart. Hikaru usually starts the sentences while Kaoru ends them, and Kaoru looks more softer than Hikaru, who looks more mischievous. And then there's the fact about your voices, Kaoru's is also lighter and gentler than Hikaru's, no offence, but you two are different. And this is only by looks and way of speaking, I could say more about your characters' she scratches her temple and draws a round with her other hand on the table, everyone stunned.

'She's right. Hikaru's speech and actions make him come across a little more mischievous than Kaoru' Agrees Haruhi who passes by.

'Wow' Say the guests in awe. The twins just look at the two girls. Then Kaoru starts laughing, which Hikaru doesn't seem to appreciate in the slightest. Laughing turns out into bickering and then fighting.

Hikaru: 'Cut it out already, you're the one who's always crawling into my bed, talk about annoying!'.

Kaoru: 'I only do that cause you look lonely! I wouldn't choose to sleep in your bed you idiot!'.

Hikaru: 'Who are you calling an idiot? You're the one who sucks at Math!'.

Kaoru: 'Oh yeah? Well you're failing at foreign language class, you big dummy!'.

Hikaru: 'The way you're crying your teeth…'.

Kaoru: 'At least I don't toss and turn so that someone might fall out of bed!'.

Hikaru: 'Suck pixie'.

Kaoru: 'Sickle'.

Both: 'Your mamma wears too much make-up!'.

Gin: 'You've got the same mother you numb skulls!'.

Kyoya lays his hand on her shoulder 'leave them alone. It's better to let them be for now'.

Both: 'That's it! We're over!'.

'I was wondering what all the fuss was about' Says Tamaki as they walk into the canteen the next day of lunch. The Host club, minus Haruhi and the twins, gathered at the end of our class to talk about the rumors. So they decided to go and see for themselves in the canteen. 'I can't believe the two of you are still fighting. You're a disgrace to the Host Club' the last sentences was directed to the two boys, not identical anymore since their hair is now painted, in pink and blue. Could they be any more obvious? Why not choose a natural looking color, instead of a clown's wig.

'Talk about exaggerating' Scolds Gin, rolling her eyes while crossing her arms before her chest.

'Look who it is' Says one boy she doesn't know.

'Oh I love them' Swoons a girl on Gin's right.

'I've never seen them all together like this' Says the girl next to her.

'I feel left out' Gin tosses her hair over her shoulder and turns to glance at Kyoya from the corner of her eyes, she sighs deeply as he doesn't look back and grabs her money 'If I'm here anyway…' She walks over to the line, followed by Kyoya who's going to buy lunch here like every other day too.

'I don't care if my box lunch is in an embarrassing heart shape! I will eat it!' cries Tamaki suddenly out loud as the two have ordered their lunches and start to walk off towards a table to eat on.

'I've no idea what you're talking about' Says Kyoya without turning to Tamaki 'But it's obvious your fantasies are completely incoherent' With that Kyoya walks off followed by a chuckling Gin, who takes one last look at the all excited Tamaki.

When the two sit down, Gin puts her earphones in, but with a low volume so she can hear everything around her. When she has finished her salmon salad, light cream soup and fresh strawberries natural (Which she specifically asked for), she looks at her small piece of lemon pie, she takes a bite and hums along with the lyrics. When she's halfway done, Kyoya shoves his small plate with lemon pie in front of her, surprising her.

'Kyoya… don't you like lemon pie?' she asks unsure.

'I don't really care for sweets. You may have it. You like it after all' he answers without looking up from the notebook lying on the table next to him.

'But I'm on-' she can't finish her sentence because Kyoya butts in, like he does a lot lately.

'Why not throw that diet out of the window? You're perfect as you are, Gin. Sure, you were a bit chubby at the beginning of the year but there's nothing wrong with the way you look now, you look healthier than the girls in the magazines or some at this school'.

'But… Kyoya… you said-' she looks down at the pie, somehow feeling guilty for eating it in the first place.

'For the hundred time, Gin. I didn't say that, it's what you made out of it. And weight doesn't have anything to do with appearance. After all, muscles weight more than fat' Kyoya knowingly states.

'So you say I'm bulky?' She sighs deeply as she finished the pie, she had always been pretty muscled, it's a family trait, her mother and father were built that way too, and she was always stronger than normal girls.

'No' Kyoya objects 'You've got a great figure. Not bulky and not fat. But not thin and weak looking either. Just in between with the perfect amount of everything at the right places' He smirks lightly at that, causing Gin to blush a little.

'Thank you… Kyoya' She looks at the black haired boy and feels her chest turn all warm 'Thank you very much, that means a lot to me' She smiles -a real smile- at him and then starts with his piece of lemon pie, grateful for his opinion and assurance, and of course thankful for his lemon pie.

'You're welcome, Gin' He answers with an amused smile she can't see because she's too busy eating her pie and humming along with the music. He recognizes it as "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. He find her so weird at times, she could be as joyful and goofy as Tamaki, as short tempered as an ring fighter, as calm and collected as himself, as scary as the devil or a monster, as mysterious as Nekozawa-senpai, as adorable as Honey or Haruhi, as strong while sweet and silent as Mori, caring, smart and feminine as his sister Fuyumi. She's a mystery, a puzzle, something he can't understand and someone who looks straight through his façade. Someone incredible and confusing. Someone like Tamaki and still so different from the blonde best friend idiot. She may not be the most beautiful girl, but she's kind of cute when she smiles, and she has beautiful eyes.

He looks at her, she's difficult to understand, she's like him in a different way. She's the first one to really understand him besides Tamaki, maybe even more than Tamaki because of her attitude and ability to succeed for something if she sets her mind to it.

He smiles at her taking the last bite of the pie and smiling softly in some kind of joy, all happy about his compliment. Making her feel a lot more secure. Because even though she has the tough-girl act all up, he can see right through that façade like she can see through his.

He feels good, he actually made her smile like this, her real smile. Which is for some reason more beautiful than any smile he ever got to see, besides the smile of his mother, maybe just as joyful and beautiful.

At the end of the day, during PE. They're forced to run a long run around the city, if you don't do it in an hour and a half, you get a D. Great, that'll be another bad mark on her list since she has the same endurance of someone having breakfast, lunch and dinner in BK. PE? Never her best subject, besides German language her worst.

Gin puts in her earphones in and starts up a song with a beat. She hits the front of her shoe noses on the ground and closes the blue gymnastics vest on front a little more. She pulls her hair up in a knot and waits for the start sign. The girls may run ten minutes earlier, their grades will be easier than the one from the boys since boys tend to be quicker and have a better endurance than girls. Since boys have more muscles and more endurance, Gin had always been a little jealous, but on the other hand, boys could be very wimpy about a wound or broken-something, while girls have a better pain endurance than boys.

'See you later Gin! Do your best!' Cheers Tamaki from the sidelines, the group boys of her class all waiting for the girls to take off there. Gin sighs and rolls her eyes. She hears the gun shot and starts in her normal pace running, slowly starting to run faster and harder. She hums along with the music as she runs around the corner of the school and opens the front of her vest to get herself some air and a cold breeze in her neck.

She hears another gunshot far away and starts running a bit faster, best to impress the boys a bit with her newly trained body. She runs a little faster and takes a deep breath for the sudden change of speed.

As she runs over the road that's next to some trees of a forest or park, some boys start running past her. She wipes the sweat off her head and suddenly someone bumps against her shoulder while passing her, she gives a silent scream as she falls into the bushes and rolls down a small hill into the dirt while hitting branches, stones, trees and mud pools. Once finished rolling she groans as she tries to get up but her shoulder hurts like hell and she feels tears appear in her eyes, no, no crying… she never cries, it's just pain, no reason to go crying like a baby. She suddenly finds blood on her hand and remembers herself hit her head against something like a stone on her way down. She closes her eyes as dizziness and nauseas overcomes her and everything turns black.

XxX

When Tamaki and Kyoya pass the finish line, as always the two in the top 10 of the class. They look at some girls pass too and take a good look at the girls that have already finished since they hadn't met Gin on their way here. They figured she must be better at running than suspected. But she's not here.

'Not here?' asks Tamaki softly 'But I didn't see her on the way here. How could we have missed her?'.

'We'll wait for Gin at the club room. Since I don't remember passing he she must be far behind, it can take a while until she finishes' Says Kyoya, Tamaki agrees and the two take off to the boy's dressing rooms.

XxX

An hour after the host club had gathered, the club finally came to know about the twins acting all the time like they had a fight. They hadn't had a fight at all, they faked it all because they were "Bored".

'Hello?' A girl's voice says. The club room door slowly opens and a group of three girls come in.

'Hello' Kyoya looks at them, recognizing them from his class 'The host Club is closed today, but feel free to come back tomorrow'.

'Oh, we're not here for the Host Club' Says the brunette on front with a small smile.

'We're here to come and see Gin Crow' explains the black haired one behind her 'We were supposed to do an English project together, we agreed to gather in the library, but we've waited an hour already and she hasn't shown up at all'.

'And she doesn't pick up her cell phone either' adds the third girl with auburn hair.

Tamaki tilts his head 'What? That is so unlike Gin, she always shows up… or picks up her cell phone for that matter' Tamaki looks at them surprised.

'So you haven't seen her either?' Says the first girl, a little bit worried.

Kyoya grabs his cell phone and dials Gin's number, there's no replay, until the voice mail. He dials the number again but the same happens again. He looks at Honey and Mori 'Can you guys talk to the PE teacher, ask him when she finished running and left the gym'.

'Sure thing' Answers Mori.

'Leave it to us Kyo-Chan!' Honey salutes and the two take off in top speed.

'Tamaki, would you like to go and check with your father, ask him is there's a message from home. Maybe something caused her to hurry home without telling anyone, maybe it was something very important'.

'Yes, of course' Tamaki nods and takes off too.

'Haruhi, you go and check the bathrooms and the girl's dressing room'.

'Yeah, sure' Haruhi nods understanding, she looks at the three girls watching her a little surprised, Haruhi just smiles friendly at her.

'You three girls just check the library, if she's not there you go home. Is that alright?' Kyoya smiles at them 'I'll make sure Gin calls you when we find her'.

'Alright, Ootori-San' Answers the black haired girl for all three of them and they take off like the other hosts.

'Kyoya-senpai, what are we supposed to do?' ask the twins, waiting for the raven haired boy to order them around like he did with the other hosts.

'Well, concerning the mess you made, you're going to clean the Club Room. Please hurry if you want to go home soon' he pushes his glasses up his nose, looking at the mess the twins made of the club room with their fake fight.

The twins sweat drop but go to work like ordered.

Kyoya takes out his phone and calls Gin's home, hoping he's right and there was an emergency 'Please be home' he whispers softly as the first deep sounds.

XxX

When everybody -with exception of the two seniors- have returned without any news or Gin, they're starting to feel concerned about the situation. Gin has just suddenly disappeared. Kyoya called her house, but the maid who picked up assured him she and her driver never got home. Apparently her driver was still at home because Gin was getting a lift from the three girls from earlier.

'Where could she be?' Asks Tamaki, worried pacing around the club room.

'Maybe she ran away from home, or she went out shopping' Answers Kaoru with a shrug.

'No, because Gin left her stuff in the dressing room' Haruhi holds up Gin's bag and clothes 'She wouldn't leave school grounds in her gym clothes, now would she?'.

'We'll wait for Mori-senpai and Honey-senpai to return' Just as Kyoya has said that, the two said seniors burst in through the doors, their faces serious.

'And? Have you found her?' Asks Tamaki without waiting for them to start talking, hoping she was just alright and had to stay with the Gym teacher for a little bit longer to discuss something for some reason he doesn't really care about right now.

'No' says Honey serious 'As matter of fact, the gym teacher said she hasn't finished at all, he hasn't taken a second look if everybody had finished so half an hour after the last person finished he went back to his office. But Gin hasn't finished the round!' Shouts Honey almost in tears.

'What?' Ask the other hosts in chorus, now all very worried about the safety of their friend.

'Maybe Auntie is kidnapped! And now her grandparents have been asked for a high price, or money for her life! Maybe she's hurt or a car hit her and nobody noticed! Or maybe she's attacked by a wild animal and now being fed to little young wolves! Or-' Tamaki can't continue since Haruhi places her hand over his mouth to make him stop immediately.

'Tamaki-senpai!' Haruhi pinches him in the shoulder when he keeps on talking, into her hand 'You're not making this situation any better! If Gin really is injured or kidnapped, she may need our help. Maybe she isn't injured at all but took the wrong turn and is walking around the city somewhere. We need to find her and not get all worked up'.

'It's already turning dark outside' Says Hikaru, watching the sunset outside, the orange light floating into the club room.

'Yeah, we'd better start our search party quick' Kaoru looks at the rest of the host club, worry written on his face.

XxX

And so….

'Gin!'.

'Gin?'.

'Auntie? I'm here to come and find you AUNTIE! If you're being captured by gypsies than leave trace for us! We'll find you! Ouch! Kyoya, you're being mean'.

'Gin, are you anywhere near here?'.

The light of yellow flashlights shine around the area, into the bushes and over the ground, it's dark outside, and the temperature drops quickly.

Gin wakes from the her music, some loud Nickelback song bursting out her eardrums, she pulls the earphone out and listens to the shouting. Her head hurts like hell, pounding like a jackhammer, her body is stiff and cold, her side, head, shoulder, arm and ankle hurt.

'Hello?' She asks softly, her voice raspy and weak. She can hear a name being called out. She hears footsteps an voices 'Kyoya?' She asks as she hears his voice calling her name, tears start crawling down her cheeks 'Tamaki?' her voice sounds like she screamed on top of her lungs for two hours long. She sees the flashlight pass a few meters away from her, the voices fading away. This makes her a little desperate.

'Tamaki?' She asks again, her heart beating faster in fear of being left.

'Gin!'.

'Gin?'.

'Auntie!'.

'Gerrylin!'.

Gin shivers from the cold and moves with her hand towards her IPod, she turns up the volume and pulls out the earphone, the sound of This is War by 30 seconds to mars is carried through the forest by the cold evening breeze.

Footsteps come back and voices become louder, she suddenly hears shouting and sobbing from a certain little blonde, crying out her name.

She watches her IPod being picked up and a warm hand on her arms. She groans and there's talking. She blinks a little, her vision blurry and her body objecting to the hands exanimating her shoulder. Form her mouth comes a hissing sound when fingers touch a painful part of her shoulder.

'This is going to hurt, bite on this' Says Kyoya's voice near her ear, she bites on a cloth and her arm is held firmly, somebody pushes on her body to keep her down for some reason, it feels like someone keeping a knee on her chest, and that's when Kyoya pulls her arm, a pain in her shoulder makes her scream, tears stream down her cheeks and she cries out while biting on the cloth like it could be ripped apart between her teeth, cursing, her arm is laid down and she feels hands on her head, brushing her hair out of her face.

A warm jacket is laid around her shoulders and she shivers softly as strong arms pick her up from the ground. She looks at Kyoya through her tears and moves her hand to wipe them away, but her arm is so painful and tired she doesn't feel the need or care to moved it. She sees the height she fell from before her, the other hosts are up above the hill and there's a rope around Kyoya's waist. She lays her head against his chest and closes her eyes. There's moving but she doesn't dare to look. That is until she's being laid down, her back against something warm like a chest. When she opens her eyes again she's lying with her uninjured arm against Kyoya's chest, her head on his shoulder, sitting on his shot. Blue blazers are laid over her legs and back.

That's how she notices she's actually shivering and so cold her skin feels numb. The pounding in her head becomes worse as she feels something wet slide down her temple to her chin. She feels another drop and something wet going down her neck, tickling a little. She feels weak, dizzy and prevents herself from vomiting in front of the guys. She must look horrible right now, how stupid it may sound in this situation, she must look like she had been killed ten times over. Dirt everywhere, cold and bleeding. She closes her eyes a little, feeling her body grow weaker, she doesn't have the energy to move it, and in Kyoya's arms it's all comfortable, so she let her muscles ease up. She let her head lean limply against his shoulder, smelling him. She opens her eyes to blink, not really seeing anything but worried faces.

'Stay awake Gin. Stay awake' Whispers Kyoya in her ear.

'It's nothing, it's just a scratch' She smiles lightly and closes her eyes for second. Kyoya's staring at her when she looks up into his eyes, to his picture perfect face. There's a blood smear on his cheek, dirt on his temple, but that doesn't make him less perfect as he is, this makes Gin a little jealous, which is almost crazy on a time like this. But she's glad they finally found her.

'You're badly injured' He states.

'I've been through worse pains' She answers and smiles again lightly 'This is nothing comparing to the worst pain I ever felt' She looks at him more determined, but her eyes close and her face slowly relaxes too, her head pounds harder and the heartbeat drumming in her ears becomes slower for some odd reason. She tries to focus on Kyoya's face, not liking the way her body feels now really numb, starting to tingle everywhere like when you have a sleeping foot. Kyoya's face takes a weird shape, like it tenses up. She tries to move her lips.

'Don't die Gin! Stay with us now! Stay awake!' His voice is shouting. But she only hears it like it's far away, her eyes want to close, she feels tears escape her eyes as adrenaline does its last change to speed her heart up.

'Kyoya… I'm scared' she whispers 'I can't see you… you're so far away' she feels a sob escape her throat, her own voice sounds far away and even farther away she can hear sirens of an ambulance.

That's when it all became very weird. She could hear voices, felt stinging pains in her body like somebody was doing an operation on her without any kind of narcosis. She can't whimper, she can't move her body but feel the pain. When the pain is over, she can feel warmth, hear faint familiar voices and try to move her body, open her eyes.

She feels someone hold her hand. She sinks back into darkness when the hand leaves hers, she tries to find the hand back, slowly moving her fingers but it's gone. The darkness surrounding her and disappearing after a while again. She can hear the faint sound of snoring and a pen writing on paper, remembering her father snore while falling asleep on the couch before the TV some evening, remembering Kyoya write in his black mystery note book.

She tries to move her hand, she moves her fingers and wiggles her toes, not having the energy to open her eyes just yet. Her arms moves a bit, her fingers searching once again for the hand from before. When a warm hand suddenly comes from out nowhere and is holding hers, she slowly opens her eyes a little bit, looking at the room.

Tamaki and Kyoya both in the room. Tamaki's asleep on the couch, Kyoya's doing homework on her bed, his hand absentmindedly had moved to hold hers, he looks troubled into his Math book.

'Thank you…' She whispers with her raspy voice and coughs a little, Kyoya looks up surprised from the sudden voice coming from a girl that had slept for who knows how long, she takes a soft breath 'Thank you for… whatever you all did back then. For staying with me'.

'No problem. It's in my best interest to save the life of a club member, and the daughter of a client' he answers, letting go of her hand and leaving it cold.

'Don't start business talk when I'm in an hospital bed you ass… I saw it in your eyes, you were worried about me' he smiled lightly 'The great Demon King Kyoya was worried about little old me' She coughs and closes her eyes in pain her hand moving to her ribs that pain 'What's all wrong with me?'.

'You've got two broken ribs, a sprained ankle, a concussion, a sprained wrist, and because of the broken rib, your liver had been cut, but they saved your life only two days ago, you also lost a great amount of blood so you almost died, and you're ready to go home when your grandparents have arrived around twelve this afternoon. And for your information, Tamaki is now your brother, and I'm your boyfriend'.

'Boyfriend?' She looks at him sleepily, not really knowing what to say to that.

'We couldn't get to stay otherwise, only family, and in my exception boyfriend'.

'Fine… sweetie' She smiles softly and closes her eyes in exhaustion, Kyoya just smiles and brushed a strand of hair out of her face as she has fallen back asleep within just seconds. Something lifts off his shoulders. He had been sitting at her bedside for two long days, worrying over the fast whether she would make it or not.

The first night had been exhausting, her blood loss had caused her to almost die that evening in his arms. She was almost gone if it weren't for the ambulance that arrived at that moment. He could still hear her soft and scared voice saying "Kyoya… I'm scared, I can't see you… you're so far away". That sentence had scared the hell out of him. At that moment he was sure they were too late and he would watch someone important to him like Gin die in his arms. He scared voice and cold body, her face had haunted him every time he fell asleep.

Somehow this made clear to him, that Gin was starting to become more than a friend to him. Maybe a best friend like Tamaki. Their insults have become a game, because in the end, when Gin was so scared and beaten, she trusted him with her every bone, if she had died there she would've said his name in the last sentence she ever said. Which he found guilty and somehow an honor.

She cares. Just like he cares.

That Monday, during Club hours, the doors suddenly open. Every guest and host looks at the door to find a certain blonde girl, leaning on a crutch in her right arm, her left foot bound up in white bandages and her left arm in a sling, there's a small red wound on her forehead and she's wearing some big grey sweatpants and a black top with there over a red vest.

'Gin-Chan!' Shouts Honey cheery, running over to her and hugging her right and healthy leg.

'Hey senpai. How's it going?' she asks with a faint smile, her hair is back in a knot to keep it out of her face. She returned out of the hospital the afternoon she left, that had been Friday. She had called him for any kind of amusement through the phone on Sunday when she was able to talk, but kept in bed all day, which began to make her very, very annoyed since apparently there's nothing good on TV.

'You should be in your bed. May I remind you you've had surgery only half a week ago?' asks Kyoya with his monotone voice. Watching her "Walk" over to her own table, which is still free since nobody wanted to sit there, it reminded everyone of the half-host being injured very badly.

'Are you worried about me? Kyoya dear?' She asks, her voice dripping with a fake sweetness at the "Dear" part. They had to fake the whole boyfriend girlfriend thing all the time when she was awake, the whole Friday morning. It was amusing, but annoying since Gin would say things that could've been left out of the conversation with the doctor, "Teasing Kyoya" seemed to be a hobby in the hospital. And somewhere, he enjoyed that.

'Oh, that's right, Kyoya pretended to be your boyfriend to stay in the hospital' Says Hikaru with a smug grin.

'How sweet. Looks like someone's falling for a certain blonde girl' Chuckles Kaoru, leaning on his brother's shoulder.

'Shut up' Chorus Kyoya and Gin, they look at each other for a moment before turning back to the rest of the room.

'However' Gin puts her leg up on the chair 'I was starting to feel bored at home, there's nobody but the maids who're cleaning all day. There's no fun at that, and my friends are all asleep when I'm awake or gone off to school. Plus, I'm starting to feel even more stiff than when you found me last week' Gin shrugs 'And I miss you guys so much' her voice is dripping with sarcasm which doesn't go unnoticed by Kyoya, Haruhi, the seniors and the twins, only the guests and Tamaki don't seem to notice it, and find it adorable.

'It's good to have you back Gin-Chan' Smiles Honey 'Here! Have some pie!'.

Gin smiles, she acted all sarcastic and tough, but she actually likes the Host Club, their craziness reminds her of her old home and it feels comfortable and just right. Plus, she can bother them as much as she wants and they still will keep coming back to her, no matter how rude she is. She has found good friends, and a new family, some peoples he can rely on. People who'll never let her down. Even when she orders them around since she's NOT able to move and need someone to bring her tea, cookies and pillows. Life, can be so easy with dense people like Tamaki.
