Mika smiled and led the two boys out of the limo spreading her arms wide in front of her home.

Hunny looked to his right and could see his familys estate peeking out from some tree's in the distance. Takashi too could see his home further behind Mika's on the opposite side of Hunny's

"So now we can hang out all the time!" Mika cheered.

"Did you hear that Takashi! Usa-Chan lives right between us!" Hunny smiled to the taller man as he ran towards the wooden cottage like house that was surrounded by the plush green of the mountains.

"I didn't even realize how close we were until today. If I would have known you would have seen me sooner." Mika smiled as she opened the door revealing a warm western style cottage that screamed "I'm cozy and cute!"

"…nice" Takashi said as he walked into the threshold and was led to a large wood and steel kitchen that had an island in the center with different kinds of flavorings and treats on it.

"How long have you been in Japan?" Hunny asked as he sat up on a wooden stool that was at the island and started staring at a particular jar of lollipops.

"My mother moved us back here last year. I didn't get this place until last month though." Mika said somewhat sadly.

"Are you ok?" Takashi asked as he noticed Mika seemed to have stared off into space a little.

"Yeah I'm fine, so what are you guys in the mood for? I can make dinner as well as dessert now."

"We shouldn't impose….we should treat you….are those strawberries?" Hunny said in somewhat of a zombie tone as his eyes locked on a bowl of fresh strawberries on a counter next to her stove.

"If you don't want me to cook then I should put these strawberries away." Mika teased as she slowly waved the bowl around giggling as she saw the blonds' big brown eyes lock onto the bowl.

"Well…if you offered we shouldn't say no, since it is a reunion right Takashi." Hunny pleaded to the taller man who was still standing up watching the two.

"Hai." Takashi said with a slight smirk as he sat down next to Hunny who ravaged the bowl before Mika fully had it down on the island.

"Glad to see some things haven't changed." Mika giggled as she started taking random things out of her fridge.

"So while I make us some food why don't you guys tell me what's new with you?"

Hunny looked up at Takashi to talk since he was preoccupied with scarfing down as many strawberries as he could.

"Um…" Was all Takashi could muster out before Mika sensed the uneasiness and moved her ingredients to the island so she could cook and talk at the same time.

"I was surprised to find you both in a host club. Why did you guys join?" Mika asked as she looked at Hunny then Takashi after noticing the blond was preoccupied trying to clean some strawberry off his nose with his tongue.

"Friends asked."

Mika smiled to herself as he brain automatically filled in the blanks of Takashi's sentence.

"My friends made me join my schools as well." She informed them.

As Mika put some things in the oven and started something else on the counter all three could feel silence enter the room and set up camp.

"I thought we'd have so much to talk about…heesh." Mika thought to herself with a giggle.

"What happened to us? I remember when we used to spar together and play tag all day long. We would talk about our day and laugh until we fell asleep. Have we changed so much?" Mika asked with a sigh as she passed Takashi and Hunny a plate of Sakuramochi.

"Were not little kids anymore." Hunny said as he tasted the sweet rice treat with a content hum.

"That's true, but even so…" Mika said somewhat sadly as she put on some oven mitts and took a tray of waffle cakes from the oven.

"We understand." Takashi reassured her with a pat on the hand.

Mika looked at Takashi and smiled warmly as she put the cakes on a plate and served them.

"When did you learn to cook so fast?" Hunny asked as he realized there were two courses in front of him in less then a half hour.

Takashi also looked a little dumbfounded as he politely started eating the Sakuramochi which was only lightly sweetened much to his liking.

"I cook a lot when I'm excited, sad, angry or thinking. I usually sing too but I don't like to sing in front of people I know anymore.

"Oh yeah, when you sung for Otousan he cried a little." Hunny laughed.

"Haninozuka-Sensei would never cry!" Mika protested

"He did." Takashi agreed.

"I had no clue. I feel so bad now." Mika said mortified.

Hunny couldn't help but giggle at the shock on Mika's face.

"This isn't funny! I disgraced the head of your family…I better make some cake."

Mika looked around furiously for cake ingredients as Hunny and Takashi watched on with interest.

"She hasn't changed too much it seems." Hunny laughed.

Takashi only nodded his head in agreement only to have his eyes bulge out as a rather large bag of flower was lowered on the island.

"How much cake are you going to make Usa-Chan?" Hunny asked with his mouth in a perfect sugary O.

"As much as I need to make" Mika answered darkly as she peeked out from the side of the bag.

"…scary." Takashi deadpanned.

"You know you made me cry once" Hunny teased. (He wants cake)

"I never made you cry." Mika defended.

"Yeah you did. You just can't remember…but I'll forgive you if you make me a really large strawberry cake." Hunny smiled as he leaned over the island only to slip and land face first in the flour bag.

"I know you love cake but you could at least wait for it to be mixed." Mika teased.

Takashi smiled a little as he pulled the blond out of the flour bag and tried to wipe it off. Mika walked around the counter and peered over Takashi's shoulder to make sure Hunny was alright only to find flour thrown at her and using her Martial art reflexes she instinctively pulled Takashi in the way.

"Takashi!" Both Mika and Hunny yelled in surprise.

The tall stoic man merely stood blinking away the flour.

"I'm so sorry Takashi, it was just reflexes I swear!" Mika pleaded as she started furiously wiping away the flour.

"It was all her fault I didn't do anything." Hunny defended.

"That's a lie! If you didn't throw the flour Takashi wouldn't have been hit!"

"If you would have made the cake like I asked neither me nor him would be covered in flour!" Hunny yelled.

While the two yelled back and forth neither noticed the silent man slip away towards bag of flour and pick it up only to resume his place between them.

"Takashi what…" Was all Mika could get out before she found the contents of the bag emptied on both her head and the smaller blonds.

Takashi neatly folded up the now empty flour bag with complete silence as he let his friends stand there white as ghost in complete silence.

Little did he know that two pairs of demonic eyes would flare up from under the standing statues of flour as they grinned evilly and viciously pounced on him.

"Now she can't make cake!" Hunny yelled as he shook all the flour off his body and onto Takashi who was pushed to the floor.

Mika had already scooped up a large amount of flour that had fallen into her pockets and emptied them on the tall man when she started to burst out in tears.

Hunny stopped his flouring of Takashi and Takashi stopped his impression of road kill as they both turned their heads in concern for their friend.

"It's ok Usa-Chan, I can call my baker to come by with some flour." Hunny tried to console only forcing the bunny girl to begin laughing between sobs.

"It's ok." Takashi offered as he leaned over her offering handfuls of flour.

"I have more flour silly. I'm just so happy right now…Achoo!" Mika sobbed only to sneeze and wiggle her nose as she realized there was some flour in it.

"You look like a white rabbit!" Hunny chimed.

"You look like the Pillsbury doughboy after jenny Craig." Mika teased only to earn confused looks from both Japanese men.

"I'll show you, but first we need to clean up." Mika smiled as she stood up and handed both boys a towel.

"How selfish can I be? Their not the older boys I played with when I was younger and I'm not the little girl who would climb through their bushes, so it's only right we make some new memories as the people we are." Mika thought to herself as she wiped her face.

"Does this mean we still get to have cake?" Hunny asked.

(a/n:Sorry for the delay. it seems I'm now my Okaasan's errand girl. I'm pooped from doing so much. But I had to finish this filler chapter. I hate writing them but they always are necessary for the big picture. I hope you understand. also this story will pick up big time after the host club meets the hostess club so just wait until then ) zell-chan
