A/N: As predicted, I got another chapter finished today! Here ya go!
I will inform everyone, I haven't really been proof reading them so sorry for all the mistakes that are most likely mixed in. I'll go back later and check for errors in the chapters I've already posted!
Haruhi POV
When I wandered out of Ouran Academy on Friday evening, I was glad to have a break from the hustle and bustle of the school. I had the whole weekend to sit at home and complete the chores and homework that I had been too preoccupied to complete during the week. I would get to spend some quality time with my dad hopefully too if he didn't have to work late every night. If not then I would just make sure to whip up some of his favourite foods for him to enjoy when he was at home.
The journey home was normal: I boarded the subway with no hassle, got off at my usual stop and took a quick wander around the supermarket to see if there were any meats on offer. I arrived home before my dad, as expected, and went straight into the preparation of the home cooked meal for my dad and I to hopefully enjoy together before I got down to the homework exercises that I wanted to get out of the way. But by 7 pm he hadn't arrived home so I guessed he wouldn't be home until I was already fast asleep in the other room. So I quickly washed up any of the mess I had created in the makings of dinner and huddled myself into my small bedroom.
I had to finish a few chapters of a book as part of my English class, which was no easy feat as I was still struggling with the subject. At least Kyoya was coming over a couple times next week in order to help me with that and my maths work. Luckily the week long break from hosting had allowed me to catch up at a more relaxed pace. But now that they were expecting me to hang out with them outside of school as well, I would need the tutoring assistance more than ever to keep myself from working myself into an unorganised mess.
With each paragraph I read I felt my eyes growing heavier until I could hardly take in a couple of words before my eyes demanded to clamp themselves closed again.
When I awoke, it wasn't by the morning rays of sunshine that were filtering through the curtains as was normal for me. Two pairs of arms were pulling upright and sliding a housecoat over my shoulders then being raced out of the house under the cover of darkness. I thought I was being kidnapped and each time I tried to call out for help, a hand would cover my mouth until I stopped. They carried me down the stairs leading up to my apartment and was thrown half hazardly into the back seat of a vehicle as my captors followed in afterwards.
"Haru-chaaan!"
Oh. That's just great.
"What the hell guys?" I should have suspected them as soon as I'd woken up enough to figure out what was going on.
"We're going on a trip apparently," Kyoya growled out from one end of the limousine. He was surrounded by a dark purple aura and his eyes shone in annoyance. Clearly he wasn't a morning person. "But we can't leave at a reasonable hour in the morning because Tamaki was too excited, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE FACILITY DOESN'T EVEN OPEN FOR ANOTHER 3 HOURS!"
All the hosts covered their ears as the furious voice of the Low Blood Pressure Demon Lord shouted at them.
"What did you do to him, Tamaki-sempai? And why have I been kidnapped at 5am if wherever we're heading isn't open for another three hours?" My face was blank, anger slowly filling up every crevice of my being. Before he could stutter out an answer I scoot away from the twins who were the ones to drag me from my bed, and up towards Kyoya who had already succumbed to his exhaustion. I rested my head on his shoulder as I let myself doze off once again and fall into a semi-peaceful slumber.
Mori POV
Everyone, excluding myself, was gaping at Haruhi as she propped herself up against the feared Shadow King. How she wasn't afraid of the dangerous demeanour he gave out when he was awoken early was beyond me. But I suppose she did exude the same kind of aura when angered, but on a much smaller scale that Kyoya was capable of.
Mitsukuni was no longer raging from being awoken so early as well. The 'eyes of the beast' had faded into drowsy half lidded stares at nothing in particular, simply daydreaming before his head tilted forward onto his stuffed bunny rabbit and he began to snore softly. Kyoya and he shared that characteristic; neither enjoyed being woken up early and would both insult and even attack if people tried to drag them from their beds. You could still faintly see the small red hand mark across Tamaki's face from when he first tried to awaken the Haninozuka heir, then a slightly bigger bruise on his jaw from Yasuchika when he had wandered into the wrong bedroom and had woken Mitsukuni's younger brother needlessly.
Of course he could have informed Tamaki that he was going into the wrong room – he knew the house like the back of his hand after all – but he needed a source of entertainment from somewhere. And it was his own form of punishment for the boy to send the twins into his own home and dragging him out of bed at 4:30 am on the one day he was allowed to sleep in from his usual 5 am start for kendo practice.
At least the three other hosts who weren't feeling the pulls of sleep on their minds were remaining quiet in their excitement to go to the waterpark. It was one of Kyoya's family's business ventures and it hadn't opened to the public yet and had extended invitations to each of us as early guests to try out the facility. I don't think Kyoya expected the boys to drag him out of home at 4 am to get an early start on the day.
We arrived at 6 am on the dot. Without Kyoya having been there, we wouldn't have been granted entry to the place, but the boy stumbled angrily up to the woman at the desk and slammed his hands down hard onto the wooden counter top.
"If you'd please allow my idiot friends entry that would be greatly appreciated. And if you were to run and retrieve me some coffee before I fire or kill one of my own family's employees, specifically you, it would be even more in your favour." The woman had been scared stiff by the third Ootori son and bolted away at speeds I didn't think were possible in such high heeled shoes. She returned with a pitched of black coffee and a cup for her employer's son and gave us all passes into the water park.
"What should we do with Haruri, boss?" The twins were holding up Haruhi, an arm dangling around each of their necks as they dragged her limp sleeping form along. It was a surprise to all of us that she could sleep through the Shadow King's demanding speech to the receptionist.
"Just set her down on one of the deck chairs for the time being, when she wakes up I'll escort her up to the changing areas so she can play in the water with her Daddy!"
"I bet the boss just wants to see Haruhi in a skimpy little bathing suit."
"Really? What a pervert. "
"I am not a pervert! You shady devil twins! Get back here!" Tamaki gave chase to the red heads that still had Haruhi sandwiched between them. They made a quick pit stop to drop off Haruhi on a deck chair before running towards one of the pools and diving in. Tamaki splashed in beside them only moments later.
Mitsukuni wandered over, now in his trunks and bunny print inner tube. The boy could swim just fine, the added cuteness factor just appealed to him. I wasn't one to judge, it was his decision if he wanted to keep up that impression even when the host club fan girls weren't around.
"Takashi, maybe we should sit with Haru-chan until she wakes up. Just to make sure she's alright."
I gave a firm nod and we strode over to claim the two deck chairs next to the one Haruhi was currently using as a bed. Mitsukuni draped a towel over her and tucked her in, as if it were a real bed then settled onto his seat and basking in the fake sunshine the facility offered. It was a rather relaxing atmosphere I had to admit. I enjoyed being close to nature and all the bird calls and rumbles from the rainforest areas provided a natural calm for me.
I guess it could have been a worse situation to have been woken up so early for.
Haruhi POV
I awoke once again to find myself on some kind of island paradise. That couldn't have been right. I was sure they said it was a water park in Japan. Although when it came to these rich bastards, I could have been taken half way across the world for this little excursion. I sincerely hope not though.
Mori and Honey were relaxing on the chairs to the left of me and Kyoya was sipping some kind of cocktail on my right. He didn't seem as dangerous as he had done inside the limousine. Although he still didn't seem overly relaxed sitting in the resort.
"Do you want to go up and get changed into your swimwear, Haruhi?" Kyoya asked me between sips of his drink.
"I didn't bring any with me, Sempai. Saying as I was kidnapped out of my own house." I glared in the direction of the twins who were floating on the surface of the closest pool. "And I don't think I'll bother going swimming. I can't say I'm that taken with the idea of a water park."
"The twins have a large selection up there waiting for you to try out. I do suggest going up before Tamaki or the twins realise you've awoken." A wry smile crossed his face. "You did tell the twins you'd do anything they wanted on this trip. So you'd be best to do it on your own conditions rather than fight a losing battle."
I couldn't do much more than glare at him. He was right however much I wished he wasn't. "Fine, fancy showing me where the changing rooms are then, sempai?"
He placed his glass down on the ground next to his notebook and laptop bag and led me up the tiled pathway towards a couple of huts made up of bamboo stalks. Two maids dressed in the stereotypical skimpy French maid outfits stood outside the doors and I got the distinct feeling they didn't actually work here.
"Fujioka-san?" They said in unison. "Our masters told us to have you dressed appropriately."
Sinister smirks found their way onto the women's faces. Oh yeah, I know who they work for now. Only the twins would have twin maids serving them.
I was fiercely dragged inside to be faced with rows upon rows of swimsuits all on individual hangers. It was a fashionista's dream. Sadly, it was close enough to a nightmare in my eyes. They were mainly two piece bikinis and some were simply a couple of strings that covered nothing! I needed to get out a.s.a.p.
One of the suits that the maids pulled down for me was a dark purple swimsuit, that bordered on black, with a bow across the bust so at least I didn't look too flat chested. It had little cut outs at the side though but it would have to do. It covered up much more than most of these patches of fabric and strings. The only other proper suit they'd had was a frilly pink number that looked like a 5 year olds outfit. If I had to wear one, the dark purple swimsuit was the one I would make do with.
I cautiously exited, checking to see if any of the hosts were sitting outside the door waiting to see my choice. Thankfully they hadn't followed us up. Kyoya exited the other end of the hut, which I presume was the men's changing area, changed from the silk pyjamas into a white button up shirt decorated with two large red flowers printed on one side as well as shorts to go with the tropical atmosphere. I felt under-dressed as he looked upon me and raised an eyebrow.
I couldn't help the blush that rose to my cheeks. "This was the most decent thing the twins brought. I wasn't going to wear a bunch of strings, Tamaki wouldn't leave me alone if that happened."
"Would you like a jumper, Haruhi? There are a few stored away in the men's room."
It was a nice offer on his part. He wasn't going to gain any benefit out of it after all. But I think I could handle dressing like a girl in front of just the hosts. "That's alright, Sempai. Thank you for the offer though."
He smiled and started the journey back down the hill to the pools. You could hear the commotion before you witnessed it. The shouts of victory from the twins then the cries of Honey rang out over the sounds of birds that were flying overhead. I took off in a run towards the clearly distressed loli-boy. When we arrived, panting from the exertion, Honey was nowhere in sight. The odd totem pole decoration was making all kinds of sounds and lights were flickering before it came to a complete stop and the wave pool stopped functioning. Mori looked pain stricken and worried. It was the most emotion I'd seen him express since I'd met the tall senior.
"What have you idiots done now?" Kyoya did not look impressed, rubbing his temples slowly with his thumb and forefinger.
"Honey-sempai got swept away. We… We don't know where he's gone."
