He didn't understand why she was so embarrassed. She looked at him. That was no big deal. Still, she ducked her head in an attempt to hide her face. Mori felt amused, so much so that his lips pulled back slightly.
He saw Honey glance up at him and smirk. The smile disappeared, replaced by a feeling of unease. First a calculating look and now a smirk? What was going through his cousin's mind?

Honey decided to sit next to Miyako as they ate with Mori on his other side. His tall cousin had scrunched his brow for a moment in displeasure at not having gotten to sit next to Miyako, Honey gleefully noted - so quickly he almost would have missed it, but of course Honey hadn't! Mori didn't usually show his curiosity openly or displeasure, or any emotions really, but yet he was giving away so many smiles as of late and Honey knew it was because of Miyako.

It was wonderful. A girl that was good with animals, nice, pretty, and had access to very good deserts! Oh yes, he decided that she was worthy of his cousin.
He had also noticed her blush when she had locked eyes with Mori, along with how she seemed to stray to him more than the other Host Club members.

Granted, he didn't know her very well but he had a lot of exposure to girls and he could see the signs of infatuation. Miyako was showing those signs.
Just thinking about it brought a smile to his face! The action resulted in a wary look from Mori but Honey just brushed it off. Mori would be able to thank him later for all the work he would be doing.

For now though he put his budding plans aside to focus on the tasty food before him.

Miyako sat beside Honey and Kyoya, contently eating the freshly caught and cooked meat, absently wondering if any of it was from Kei's traps.
She shrugged away the thought, she would deal with her jealous friend another time. For now she would enjoy the company of the people she was with.
She had just put a bite of the juicy rabbit meat in her mouth when she heard a small gasp of disbelief.

Miyako looked at her small companion, tilting her head - much like the way a dog does - in confusion.

"You're eating meat?" Honey asked incredulously.

Miyko nodded and quickly swallowed so she could answer, "Well yes. Meat tastes good."

"But, you talk to animals, so why would you want to eat them Mi-chan?"

Miyako resisted the urge to flash a wolfish smile. "I'm a predator. I have no trouble eating meat and I do not kill animals in vain, rather I respect the life they have given and give thanks that because of their realistic acceptance of death I am able to grow stronger." She then giggled gently and added, "Besides, Mori is eating meat too and you don't seem to be concerned. He can also communicate with animals too, you know."

Honey thought that over a moment before he beamed, "You're right! Takashi does like to eat meat." Then he couldn't help but add in a solemn voice, "But he likes fish better."

Miyako nodded absently, most of her attention back on her food. "Yes, I do too. Though I do eat animals, I prefer eating fish. In comparison to rabbits they are brain dead. So sometimes if I feel a little guilty for eating meat, I just eat a bunch of fish instead."

"Takashi said something like that too," Honey murmured, more to himself than his distracted companion. "Didn't you Takashi?"

A nod.

"Well, I will have to make sure we have more fish prepared at our next meal together," Miyako told them with a smile.

Mori gave another nod in appreciation and Honey beamed, complimenting Miyako on the wonderful idea which then started Tamaki's complimenting on the food, which lead to Hikaru and Kaoru's side comments...Somehow leading to toying with Haruhi, leading to Tamaki overreacting, leading to Haruhi telling him to knock it off and that no, he is not and never will be her father, leading the dejected Host Club king to surrounding himself in an aura of gloomy despair in the corner.

Which lead to the dejected king asking mommy why his daughter was being so mean.

Kyoya sighed, "I don't know daddy," he bite the word out with distaste yet under that hid a layer of something akin to amusement, "perhaps she's in a rebellious stage."

Haruhi protested that it wasn't a rebellious stage but Tamaki ignored it, jumping out of his corner and Miyako had to blink to be sure she wasn't seeing the golden sparkles that suddenly surrounded him as he proudly declared that of course his daughter was just in a rebellious stage! All teenagers had them!

Miyako watched in fascination as he continued to ramble on, somehow being able to not repeat himself and still use extremely extravagant and flowery words.

"Does this happen often?" Miyako asked, leaning over so as to better address Honey and Mori.

They both nodded, Honey more fervently than his cousin. "At least twice a day, if not more! Right Takashi?"

"Yes."

Miyako turned wide eyes back to the still babbling Tamaki, who Haruhi was attempting to make shut up, but the twins only started to flirt with Haruhi again, turning Tamaki's monologue into a parental rampage as he thunderously reprimanded them for harassing his daughter. Haruhi of course protested this again but was ignored by her three rambunctious friends in favor for forming some kind of challenge.

"I apologize for their behavior Miyako-sama. I am never able to take them anywhere," Kyoya told her dully, his eyes also watching the occurring fiasco.

Miyako just waved away his apology. "Don't mind me Kyoya-sama, this is irresistibly entertaining. No one is ever this lively up here! You really must visit more Kyoya-sama and make sure to bring your friends."

Kyoya smirked, though he would not admit it he was pleased by her approval. "If you insist Miyako-sama."

Honey watched this exchange with a small and barely imperceptible frown marring his features. Before he could execute any plans, he realized, he would need to uncover the true depths of the relationship that Kyoya and Miyako shared.

He hoped that Tamaki's crazy love story wasn't true.

Hope you enjoyed. Please review! :D
