Hello dear readers! I hope you enjoy reading this chapter 3
Don't forget to visit my profile and vote for the Host that you think Jordan should fall in love with. So far, it has been hinted that it might be Kyouya, but I'm leaving it up to my dear readers to decide.
I examined my body from all angles in the mirror, finding fault no matter which way I turned. Pouting, I poked my slightly protruding stomach.
"Are you coming out?" Hikaru pounded on the door.
Sighing I realized that hiding out in the bathroom was pointless. I would eventually have to come out. I wrapped my arms around my stomach and walked out of the bathroom into the tropical aqua garden. All eyes were on me, but I avoided a certain pair of eyes in particular, so I just observed the landscape. Indoor Hawaiian trees loomed over artificial rivers and sand. It was beautiful, considering it wasn't authentic.
"Awww! Ty-chan you look so cute!" Honey said and hugged my hip, nustling his face into me.
I smiled, "Thanks Honey." He was right, my swimsuit was pretty awesome. It is a one piece that looked kind of nautical (A/N: think swimsuit that Honey-sempai was holding for Haruhi in that one episode).
"Welcome to the Ootori Tropical Aqua Garden," Kyouya said to Jordan in his usual former tone. I looked over at the duo who were sitting underneath the shade of an umbrella. Jordan looked like a goddess wearing her simple teal bikini.
"Wait. I thought the Ootori group ran hospitals," Haruhi asked. She wore board shorts and a sweatshirt for some strange reason…
Kyouya smirked, "Well my family likes to diversify. Besides, this place could be classified as a healing facility. It's therapeutic; think of all the people that are overworked and would love a vacation."
Jordan smiled, "Well, I for one, and extremely overworked. Let's go have some fun!"
She sprinted toward the synthetic river and dove into the warm water with Honey-sempai. I watched as they played in the water for a few moments, then turned my attention to the others. Hikaru and Kaoru were teasing Haruhi about something. I walked over to the first year trio.
"Hey. What's up?" I asked Kaoru.
"We're just asking Haruhi why she was wearing a pullover," he replied.
We all looked at Haruhi, waiting for her to answer. "Tamaki-sempai told me to put it on because 'I shouldn't show skin until I'm married,'" she shrugged indifferently.
They turned their attention toward Tamaki. "Why did you make Haruhi wear that pullover. We thought that you'd love to see Haruhi in a swimsuit."
Their eyes gleamed mischiviously, "Making her cover up like that, it was suprising. You know what he's up to? He made Haruhi cover up because he didn't want anyone else to see her in a bathing suit. He must be one of those jealous pervert types; that's pretty twisted."
I started cracking up at the twins' theory and Tamaki because quite flustered.
"That's not it! I was just trying to protect my daughter's innocence! It is not decent for a young lady to walk around half naked in front of boys!"
I snorted and rolled by eyes. When is that drama king going to realize that he's in love with her? Seriously, he must be a bigger idiot than I originally thought.
Bored with the current situation of Tamaki and the twins fighting each other with water guns, I decided to look for something else to entertain me. Hey even though I would rather be doing my homework, I might as well have a good time, right? Hmmm, my options are: play with Honey and Jordan, talk to Kyouya (shudder), or relax. Relax.
I sat down on one of the chairs and closed my eyes; hopefully, I'd get a nice tan. A few warm, peaceful moments passed until I felt that my artificial sun was being blocked. My eyes snapped open to glare at the person, but it was only Mori. He sat down next to me.
"Did you forget about me?" Mori smirked and sat beside me.
I flushed. I actually was avoiding him because of my whole insecurity about wearing a swimsuit, but I wasn't about to tell him that. "Um, no?"
He sighed like an impatient parent, "Why are you avoiding me?"
I became redder if that was even possible. I looked him in the eyes, smiled, and hoped that I sounded confident. "I'm not avoiding you."
He paused for a moment. "Now you're lying."
My smile faltered and my shoulders fell. "Fine. I was avoiding you."
"Why?" Mori asked. I peered into his eyes, hoping to figure out if he was mad or not. Weird. I couldn't read his eyes like I normally could; it's like he purposely shielded off his emotions from me.
I chuckled nervously and fiddled with my hands, hoping to buy some time. "Well, Uh…"
"You don't have to tell me," he said and abruptly stood up and turned to walk away.
He sounded so nonchalant, but I could tell he was hurt. I felt a sharp pang in my heart knowing that I had hurt him. He probably thinks that I don't trust him or something!
I was about to call him and confess why I avoided him, but then I heard a strange alarm went off. Everyone stood still, wondering what it was. Suddenly a totem pole lit up because idiot Tamaki ran into it. A loud rush of water echoed and we all averted our gaze to Honey and Jordan. A strong current swept them away.
"Mitskuni!" Mori shouted as he sprinted to keep up, the rest of us trailing behind him. But it was to no avail, they were gone. Then he did something uncharacteristic. He fell.
"Mori!" I called and ran over to him, but his eyes were cold. Probably because he just lost his cousin, mixed with the fact he was still mad at me.
"Gentlemen! We're going after Honey-sempai!" Tamaki announced.
I probably would have retorted with a witty remark about stating the obvious, but I was too worried about Mori, too worried to notice that the nitwit known as Tamaki let us into a pit of alligators. We ran back to Kyouya, but everywhere we ran there were carnivorous plants and animals. If Kyouya's family thinks that this is relaxing, then they are seriously twisted people.
"Thanks a lot you guys! I got some great data today!" Kyouya exclaimed in a too happy voice.
I'm seriously going to wring his scrawny neck. I took a threatening step towards him, but was held back by a hand on my shoulder. I looked past my shoulder and saw Mori; he smiled gently and suddenly felt my anger dissipate. That boy does things to me.
"If we want to find Honey-sempai, we have to travel through this dense jungle here," Kyouya explained.
"Why didn't you tell us before," I muttered to myself as I lagged behind the group, trying not to stumble over scattered branches and leaves. I heard shuffling next to me; it was Mori.
We walked next to each other in silence for a few moments.
"Hey," I said softly; he looked over at me with those same cold eyes. I grasped his hand and squeezed it reassuringly, "He's going to be alright."
His eyes softened, but he said nothing. He nodded curtly in my direction, but let go of my hand.
We walked on in silence once more. As we walked, I became more and more guilty, that I was partly responsible for Mori's sadness.
"Mori," I said. He looked over at me will his lifeless gray eyes.
"I'm sorry," I began, "I avoided you because I didn't want you to see me in a swimsuit. I know that it was really stupid and that I should have told you…"
I hung my head, too embarrassed to meet his eyes. I felt his hand grasp my own, so I met his gaze. He was smiling at me. Such a simple gesture could bring a blush to my face and make my heart pound.
Tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, he said, "Why were you worried? You look beautiful. You always do."
"Thanks," I giggled. It felt like I was in a dream. Mori is always so understanding and no matter what I did, he always forgave me. When I snapped out of my thoughts, I realized that we were separated from the rest of the Host club.
"Ummm, Mori? Where did everyone else go?" I asked nervously, eyeing the various insects and snakes. Feeling a tickling sensation on my leg, I looked down. A giant spider crawled up my leg. I screamed. And screamed and screamed as loud as I could and hugged Mori tightly. The next thing I knew, he was holding me bridal style. At first I was surprised, but then I relaxed and nestled my head into the crook of his neck.
"You always wind up carrying me," I said as I remembered when we first met. He had saved me from those drunken rapist people and had to carry me because I was so scared.
"My girlfriend seems to be a very needy girl," he smirked.
I playfully smacked his shoulder, "I am not needy. I am very independent; I never need any help!"
"Then explain why you're letting me carry you," he said, try to suppress his amusement at my adamancy.
I blushed, realizing that I was in fact letting him help me. "Because if I refused my boyfriend's help, that would be plain rude."
Suddenly he stopped walking and I looked up at his face curiously. His warm, smiling face faded into something quite scary, but he wasn't looking at me, he was looking past me. I looked over my shoulder and realized that we were surrounded by a police force? What the heck is going on?
"Target confirmed. The target has been captured by a suspicious man. We'll take the target into custody," one the men dressed in black said to the others. "You there, put Kyouya's friend down immediately. If you refuse, we'll have to use force."
At first I was completely confused, but then I realized what had happened. Kyouya, the rich bastard, had told his private police force to look for Honey-sempai, but had forgotten to tell them that there were other people at the park. I'm going to strangle that idiot.
"Hold on," I waved my hand at them. Sadly it didn't work and one of them grabbed my arm and started pulling me away, until Mori punched him in the face. The guy landed in the bushes, which amazed me. I had never seen Mori fight before and it was so amazing; he had so much power, but moved as gracefully as a dancer. Completely incredible. I would have gushed about how cool it was, but we still were stuck in a life threatening situation.
"Perpare to fire warning shots!" the leader exclaimed as they all cocked their guns.
I tensed in fear, but held on to Mori.
"Takashi!" a voice shouted, "Ty-chan! Out of the way!"
We looked toward the voice and saw Honey-sempai and Jordan swinging on a vine. He then proceeded to kick an officer in the face as he landed; Jordan just ran and hid behind a tree. The rest of the officers turned their guns toward Honey and laughed. I'm pretty sure that I had a shocked expression as Honey beat up officer after officer. I looked at Mori, but he shrugged as if it was a daily occurrence.
"You guys should be more careful who you mess with. Picking on my friends is bad. Got it!" Honey said to the unconscious offenders, whose bodies were constantly twitching.
"Tyler!" Jordan yelled as she reached me and then her face became scary, "I'm going to kill Kyouya. I can't believe that he made me trek through this dangerous place!"
During our happy reunion, the rest of the Host club found us.
"I'm so happy that I found my precious daughters!" Tamaki squealed as he hugged Jordan and me. We shrugged out of his death grip.
"So how did you find us?" the twins asked Honey-sempai and Jordan.
"It wasn't hard. It didn't take us long to reach the end of the current pool. So we decided to look for you guys!" Honey-sempai exclaimed.
Jordan took a menacing step toward Kyouya, backing him into a tree. "Do you know how much my legs are killing me right now?"
Kyouya tried to hide his scared eyes behind his lenses, but to no avail. "N-no."
She smiled threatening, "Well. They hurt like fuck. And do you know whose fault it is?"
Kyouya gulped. I was so enjoying this. "No."
"It's your fault," Jordan yelled and lunged at him, tackling him in the process. She sat on top of him and attempted to claw at his face, but he had a strong grip on her shoulders and was holding her away from him. A devious idea formed in my mind. I strolled over to where they were fighting and gently shoved Jordan's head toward Kyouya's. They kissed. All was silent as the duo scrambled to get off of each other and hide the blush on their faces.
"Awww. Look at the love birds!" I giggled and hugged Mori. "Aren't they so adorable?" I asked; Mori nodded.
"Daddy says no!" Tamaki jumped between Kyouya and Jordan. "That's incestuous! Mommy can't kiss my daughter!"
Kyouya shot Tamaki a death glare, "It wasn't done purposefully, you idiot! You think that I'd actually kiss Jordan?"
Hurt contorted Jordan's face as she stormed off. I squeezed Mori's and he nodded; he knew I had to find her. After searching for a while, I found her sitting near the river. I sat down next to her.
"You all right?" I asked softly.
She nodded, "I'm fine. I just don't know why I'm so upset. What he said shouldn't have bothered me right?"
Wow she's oblivious to her feelings for Kyouya. "Maybe you like him more than a friend…"
She shook her head, "I don't think so." She stood up. "Let's head back."
We walked back and found the cutest sight. Honey-sempai was patting Mori on the head and telling him what a great job he did at protecting me.
"I bet you were pretty lonely without me around, huh?" Honey asked.
His arm snaked around my waist. "I don't know if I'd say that…"
I smiled and blushed. I looked down at my watch. "I should head home now. I still have a lot of homework to do."
"Maybe we should visit the beach next," Hikaru suggested as we headed toward the exit and Kaoru agreed.
"You idiots, my daughters wouldn't be interested in anything like that," Tamaki rolled his eyes.
Haruhi piped up, "Actually, I might like to go to the beach."
"Huh?" everyone said at the same time.
"We may not be into silly water parks like this, but the ocean is so pretty!" Jordan added.
Tamaki paused, "Yeah, all right. Then that's where we'll go next time."
"We're all gonna go to the beach Tama-chan?" Honey asked from Mori's shoulders, "That'll be fun, don't you think?"
"Yah," Mori said and winked at me.
I rolled my eyes and elbowed his ribcage.
I didn't really like how I ended it. Too abrupt. But what are you gonna do? Anyways, REVIEW! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, REVIEW!
