I love Yuukio so much. She's the sassy friend that Xavier really needs to keep him in line because he's a dummy.

You can find the Acoustic version of 'Somewhere In Neverland' on youtube. It's off the album, 'Don't Panic: It's longer now!'


Yuukio Diana Kingsly was overall perfect.

No, really.

Her father was in the House of Lords and her mother used to be a top model in the industry, and was pushing for Yuukio to do the same. Yuukio didn't mind it, she enjoyed it actually. She was also great at playing the cello.

Ignore her mother's constant nagging and the fact she was trying to relive her golden day through Yuukio, the fact that there was no love in her parents relationship, and that her younger sister constantly embarrassed the family by being a party animal, or that when she was over stressed she got horrible nosebleeds, and finally, that she had a huge crush on Kaoru and his twin brother hated her for it.

So, yes, her life was perfect.

She arrived at Ouran Academy right on time. She enjoyed the fact that the twin's mother let her off early so she could spend some time with the club members. She enjoyed watching them interact with each other and it was nice to be around people her age who weren't competition.

Today's theme of the club was 'Peter Pan'. It seemed Tamaki got into a whole stack of Disney done fairytales and was inspired. He wanted Yuukio to be Tinkerbell, but since she wasn't in the club, she couldn't really be a part of it. This left Kyoya as Tinkerbell. He was not amused as he walked around with pixie wings strapped to his back.

Tamaki was of course, Peter Pan, Haruhi was Wendy, the twins were lost boys, Honey and Mori were the Indians, and Xavier was a pirate. She supposed he was supposed to be Captain Hook, but wearing a hook obviously wouldn't work, so he wore an eye patch instead. He looked annoyed, as he usually did. His sunburn was almost gone, which was good.

She sat down at her usual table with her Earl Gray tea and piece of cake. She usually read a book, but she was looking over the sheet music Xavier had written for her for a song they were doing together today. She was so happy to find out he had written a part for a cello in it, she almost hugged him. Almost.

"Hey, you excited to play?" Kaoru asked, stopping to chat with her. He had the prettiest smile and the cutest face.

"I am! I've been waiting all day to come here." She told him. "Hikaru won't get grumpy that you're talking to me, will he?"

"He's gotten a little better about it…." He glanced to his brother, who was teasing Xavier about his eye patch. "He's started focusing more on Xavier, but I don't think he realizes why just yet. You know he's not as good with his emotions as others are."

"Match made in heaven, then. Xavier only expresses rage." Yuukio looked at the two as Xavier slapped Hikaru's hand away. "That's why I'm a little worried…maybe I should try talking to him?"

"That might help." Kaoru said, agreeing with her. "I'm sure summer break will bring about some change."

"I hope." She sighed as Kaoru went back to entertaining the guests. Tamaki was throwing 'pixie dust' everywhere, taking this all a little too seriously. "Haruhi, you look so cute!" Yuukio squealed when Haruhi walked by her. "You'd make such a cute girl."

"I get told that a lot." Haruhi mumbled, feeling a little guilty about not telling Yuukio the truth either.

"It's the truth." Yuukio smiled, finishing up her tea before she got up and walked over to the cello that was set up for her. She set the sheet music on the music stand and sat down, adjusting the cello.

"All good?" Xavier asked, sitting down on the stool next to her with his guitar.

"Yes. I really love this song." She said, tuning the cello. "Thanks for writing a cello piece. There's never any good pieces for cellos in songs. Plus, people always write parts for violins. It's annoying."

"No problem. Might as well use my skills for something useful. I've always liked the cello over the violin." He said, strumming a few notes and the room went silent, waiting for them to start. "Ready?"

"Let's do this!" She said excitedly as he turned towards the group. He glanced back to her and they both started to play, the guest sighing at how pretty it sounded.

"Say goodbye to the halls and the classes. Say hello to a job and the taxes. The weekends with old friends spilling into 9 to 5 routine. Tell me how you feel over and done with, like your life is a map with no compass to guide, at the bar drinkin' way too much, we sing along to "Forever Young"." Xavier sang, strumming his guitar. "So here we go again, wishin' we could start again. Wendy! Run away with me! I know I sound crazy, don't you see what you do to me? I wanna be your lost boy, your last chance, a better reality. Wendy! We can get away. I promise if you're with me, say the word and we'll find a way. I can be your lost boy, your last chance, your "everything better" plan. Oh, somewhere in Neverland."

Yuukio watched him, waiting for her part to come up, which wasn't until the end of the song. She knew she teased him a lot, but she really liked the boy. He was talented beyond belief in the field of music. His sheet music was neat and so easy to read. You could tell he took a lot of time to write it all out and make sure it sounded right, which Yuukio appreciated. She was worried about him, because she knew that his girlfriend caused him a lot of trouble, and because all his best friends were miles and miles away. She knew coming here had been difficult, but she wished he was more open with them. She wanted to become a better friend to him.

"Wendy we can get away. I promise if you're with me, say the word and we'll find a way. I can be your lost boy, your last chance, your "everything better" plan. Oh, somewhere in Neverland!" He sang and Yuukio played, loving how it sounded mixed together. It was absolutely beautiful and when they were done, the guests and host club applauded them. It felt nice to play like that.

"Let's do this again." Yuukio said, smiling at Xavier. He seemed taken aback by her friendliness. "I can be nice, you know."

"I know, it's just not normally directed towards me." He replied and she lightly smacked his arm. "Ow ow ow!"

"Oh, is it still sunburned? I'm sorry." Yuukio said, feeling guilty, but she smiled about it anyway. She glanced to Kaoru, smiling at him too.


Yuukio couldn't take this anymore. Hikaru was causing her too much stress and she couldn't handle anymore nosebleeds. Every time she had five seconds alone with Kaoru, Hikaru would come and ruin it. It had been happening the whole week and she didn't know what to do. She just wanted to be with Kaoru and she knew he wanted to be with her, but he was worried about his brother.

She reached out and grabbed Hikaru, yanking him away from the guests he was entertaining. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She glared at Hikaru, ready to punch him. "I get it, okay? Kaoru is your best friend and your brother. You don't want things to change between you two, but, things are going to change eventually. I'm sick of you interrupting us and being rude to me every second to get. I know you're worried about him and what this means, but, I really care about your brother. You know that, Hikaru." She ranted quietly, so no one would hear them. "I care about him a lot. I want to be with him, but I can't when he's so worried about how you'll take it. He's giving up his own happiness for you, and I'm sorry, but I can't sit around and let him do that anymore. I'm going to date him, whether you like it or not."

"B-"

"No. I know I'm not handling this the best way, but it's driving me up the wall and stressing me out. I have a fashion show coming up in the next few weeks and I can't be worried about this and killing myself over it. Why are you so against us dating? Are you worried he'll love me more, because believe me, I don't think he could ever love anyone more than he loves you." She said softer now. "And I'd never try to get in between you two, or make him chose between us. I understand how close you two are….but I want to be close to him too."

"uh.." Hikaru mumbled as he stared at her.

"Oh shit." Xavier said, glancing over to the two. He saw the blood dripping out of her nose so he hurried over with a napkin and shoved it in her face.

"Oh damn, not again." She whined, holding the napkin to her face, embarrassed. "Thanks…this happens when I'm stressed out." She explained to Xavier.

"Are you okay?" Kaoru hurried over, worried about Yuukio. "Come on, we need to get to the nurse."

"I'll be fine." She said, but he didn't look to be taking no for an answer. He pulled her out of the club room to go to the nurse.

"What the hell were you two talking about?" Xavier questioned, turning to look at Hikaru.

"She wants to date Kaoru and apparently I've been messing it up." He grumbled and Xavier rolled his eyes.

"Dude, look, I'm not a romantic, at all, but even I could tell the two are head over heels for each other and you are a major cock block." Xavier said while crossing his arms. "Let 'em be together. It's going to happen eventually, you know. It's going to be different and hard, but, Yuukio isn't bad at all. She likes you and she really likes your brother."

"How come you're taking her side?" Hikaru grumbled, not happy.

"Her side? This isn't about taking sides, Hikaru. I know she's bossy and mean to me, but she's not bad. We all got our demons, ya know?" He shrugged. "I just don't see what the big deal is. A great girl likes your brother. How is this a problem?"

"You don't get it." He sighed in annoyance at the blond male.

"I don't think you get it, actually." Xavier replied, glancing to his guests that were waiting for him. "One day you'll find someone and you'll understand. For now, at least let them go on a date and try to be open minded."

"Why?"

"Because she makes your brother happy. That should be more than enough reason. When you love someone, you want them to be happy. I love Renge, so I stay in this hell." He explained. "Just give it a chance." He said before trotting back over to his guests.


"You sure you're okay?" Kaoru questioned as Yuukio sat on one of the many beds of the nurse's office.

"Yeah yeah, I'm fine. This happens all the time…..I just hope Xavier and Hikaru aren't fighting." Yuukio muttered. "But knowing them, they are."

"Hikaru isn't very happy with this. What did you say to him?"

"The basic stuff." Yuukio summed it up. "I thought I was reasonable, but my nose started to bleed and Xavier came over to help me. Maybe Xavier's talking to him about it?"

"Hopefully getting him to understand." Kaoru sat next to her, keeping a holding on her hand.

"I think so…..I know I talk horribly of Xavier, but I do like him. He's put up with a lot and gave up a lot to make Renge happy. He's like her older brother, and I guess I relate since I'm an older sibling." She explained. "He's not a bad guy, Renge was right about that. He's just miserable and uncomfortable here so he lashes out."

"I agree. I just want him and Hikaru to get along better." Kaoru said, rubbing his thumb in circular motions on the top of her hand.

"I think it's freaking him out. Maybe that's why he's been so…snappy, lately? It's gotta be confusing him." Yuukio smiled at the touches, leaning against him. "I think he'll be okay though."

There was a light knock at the door. It opened and Hikaru peaked his head through. "Uh…look, I just wanted to say sorry for being a jerk about all this." He looked to the ground, embarrassed. "Xavier told me to suck it up because it's going to happen whether I want it to or not and that I was ruining my brother's happiness, so…."

"Its fine, Hikaru. I understand." Yuukio smiling at him. "You're just being a good brother. He's so sweet, isn't he?" She asked Kaoru, chuckling.

"The absolute sweetest, when he's not coming up with mischievous schemes." He smiled at his brother, who pouted, but smirked anyway, shrugging his shoulders.

"So, you two an item now? Tamaki is going to be ecstatic."

"Yes, but don't worry, you can still do your whole, 'brotherly love' skit!" Yuukio squealed, just like one of the guests.


Yuukio pulled the twins back into the club room, in a much better mood. She walked over to Xavier, leaning over the couch he was sitting on. "Hey." She greeted, putting her hand on his shoulder and squeezing it.

"What's up?" He questioned, not looking at her, focusing on tuning his guitar.

"Just wanted to say thanks. Hikaru told us you talked to him." She smiled at him and he just shrugged.

"It's whatever. It was annoying me." He mumbled and froze when Yuukio hugged him. "Don't get all mushy and shit on me now."

"I'm not, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated it." Yuukio said, rolling her eyes and letting go. "Don't worry, I'll help you out with your problem!"

"What's my problem?" He questioned, turning to look at her. "Other than being stuck here."

"Urg, you two are both idiots." She rolled her eyes, sighing.


I just wanted a Yuukio chapter. Trust me you guys will love the next few chapters.
