A.N.: Here I am! Thank you so much for those who have alerted, favorited, and reviewed this story! It is, oh, too kind of you! Haha, and thanks to those who have favorited and alerted me, as an author! You know who all of you guys are. Thank you and enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer:No, I don't own any of the Fruits Basket or Ouran High School Host Club characters. If I did, the world of anime would probably come to an end.

You whistled at the sight of how far the waterfall went down. You were happier that you didn't go down that road.

Now, it was the time to turn back, find your friends, and to kill Kyoya Ootori.

Noticing the weight that the, now, soaked shirt, that Tamaki gave you, you took it off and wrung the water out of it into the river. After squeezing most of the water out, you folded it in half and placed it on your shoulder. Then, you were on your way to friend your, oh-so-great, friends.

Walking beside the river, you were going to where you thought lead back to your "posse" that you left. The cool water dripping from your ponytail and wet shirt to your back felt wonderful, considering you could feel the heat radiating off your skin.

'How could a controlled indoor beach be so hot? Well, assuming that Kyoya's the one running the experiment, I guess I would never know what to expect.'

"Kyoya...," you said through your teeth.

'I can't wait to wring that geeky neck of his.'

That thought only motivated you to walk faster. The sand under your feet was hot and it burnt your feet with every step you took. You decided that it was a smart tactic to walk in the shade near the trees. The sand was much cooler in that area and your feet were quickly cooling down. The quietness of the area became very boring. You decided to hum to yourself. It was only a random tune that you made up along the way. Your tune seemed to have attracted something, soon you heard rustling coming from the bushes.

"Honey? Haruhi? Oh, thank god you're safe! Did you find everybody else?" you asked happily for you thought that you found your friends.

You made your way to the edge of the forest. You stopped moving before the darkness that the trees created. You didn't see any figures in the dark and there was no response to your questions.

"Haruhi? Honey? Are you guys there?" you asked.

'Hm, must've been inside my own head.'

You heard a noise that you knew only two particular animals made.

'Wait, it can't be.'

A crawling green figure came into the light. Your eyes widened and you didn't dare to breathe.

'Alligator?! They can't live here! Unless there's a swamp inside the forest. There's no time to be thinking about where it lives! Just stay calm and back away slowly.'

You took a few steps back. The alligator opened it's mouth and charged at you. Caught off guard you ran for your life.

'Forest! Trees are there so it'll take longer for it to catch me! Wait! No! There might be more!'

"KYOYA! I'm gonna to KILL you when I see you!" you screamed at the top of your lungs.

You then heard a sneeze.

'People. Civilization.'

"Hm, a cold?" you heard a voice say.

"Maybe the sun's baking your brain," another familar voice snickered.

"Everyone?! It's me Yoshiko! Where are you!?" you screamed.

"Yoshiko??" you noticed this voice, surely it was Tamaki.

"Tamaki! I'm out here!" you said with your heart beating quickly from running and with the relief of finding your friends.

You soon heard rushing noises of rustlings from within the forest. You saw the familar blonde hair peek out from the darkness. Soon you were greeted with a tackle and hug.

"Haha, hi to you, too, Tamaki-san," you said hugging him back.

This hug wasn't his usual hugs after he screamed, "daughter!" like always. It was actually a caring hug that meant something more. You blushed noticing that Tamaki didn't have his shirt on and that you were in a skimpy bikini. You quickly broke the embrace.

"Oh, uh, well, here's your shirt. I, um, thanks," you said looking down as you handed him his wet shirt, "Sorry that it's completel soaked."

You looked up at him as he took the shirt. A gentle smile appeared onto his face.

"Haruhi, Honey," you said happily as you saw them come into sight, "I see you guys survived."

"Some police guys found us," she stated.

You laughed. You saw Tamaki brush off the sand that you left on him when you hugged him.

"Wait, everyone! There was an alligator behind me. I think we should go to where we were before so it doesn't attack, again," you said.

"I see that you came across some alligators, too," Haruhi mumbled.

You sighed and nodded.

"Let's go back, please," you said a little frightened that the alligator might be right behind you.

"Ok, well, there should be an elevator here somewhere," Kyoya said.

'Elevator? Geez...'

You followed Kyoya and the rest of the group into the forest.

"Here it is," Kyoya said pushing a red button on a tree.

Two doors covered in leaves opened. It surprised you since the doors were camouflaged. Everyone stepped in. You closed your eyes and held your breath as the doors closed and the elevator descended. You weren't fond of elevators, especially when they were crowded and you were one of those people in it. You took in large slow breaths.

"Yoshiko, are you ok?" Haruhi said looking concerned, "You look a little pale."

"Haha, it's nothing you said. Just been through a lot today," you said with an assuring smile.

Haruhi smiled back. The elevator came to a halt and the doors opened. You relaxed.

"Ladies first," Hikaru said gesturing to the doors.

'Awww, that's so kind.'

Haruhi went first, you followed her and in the process stepped on Kyoya's foot, purposely. You felt his foot tense and heard him wince in pain. That only put a smile on your face.

'I'll leave the rest to karma.'

You walked towards the umbrella and beach towels. You plopped on the towel with your clothes on top of it.

"Kyoya," you said with a fake smile as you saw him walk towards you.

"Yoshiko, since you experienced most of the beach's attractions, what do you think that I can improve on it?" Kyoya questioned.

'IMPROVE?! I nearly died and all you care about are improvements on this Beach of Death?? -sigh- Keep your calm, Yoshiko.'

You clenched your teeth.

"Take the waves out," you stated.

"Waves, out," he repeated as he wrote on paper with his clipboard, which he always seemed to carry.

"NO MORE alligators," you said through your teeth.

"No alligators," he said.

"Lastly, go die in a hole," you said with a straight face.

"Go die in..., oh," Kyoya said pushing up his glasses, "I guess you enjoyed the beach."

Everyone, except Mori, snickered at the sight. A slight smirk appeared on Mori's face.

"Sure did," you gritted through your teeth.

Kyoya took a glance at his watch.

"Hm, four forty-three," Kyoya said.

"Now, we shall finish our fight," Tamaki said.

Tamaki then grabbed a water gun out of nowhere.

"Bring it, Blondie," Hikaru threatened.

Kaoru and Hikaru happened to have water guns that magically appeared into their hands.

"I guess I should be heading home, then," you said.

"Awww, already?" Honey whined.

'Already? I think almost dying twice is enough for one day.'

"Yeah, sorry, and I'd better get home and help cook dinner with Tohru," you said gathering your clothes, "Oh, Hikaru, Kaoru, the bathing suit!"

"Keep it," they both said.

"Really? Arigato!" you said, "Then I guess I'll see you guys Monday!"

"Bye!" they chorused.

"See you later," you said.

You headed for the doors that lead outside. You pushed the door aside and walked through.

"On your way home, Yoshiko-san?" the butler that greeted you in the beginning asked.

"Yes, I am," you said.

"I'll lead you through the house," he said as he opened the next set of doors in front of you.

"Arigato," you said.

He only nodded.

You followed him to the front door. He politely opened it and bid you a farewell. You thanked him once again and went into the limo parked in front.

"Hello, Yoshiko-san," Jared said.

"Hi, Jared," you said.

"To your home?" he questioned.

"Yes, please," you answered.

There you were on your way home. You dug your cellphone of your sand filled pockets in the jean shorts that you were holding.

"Here we are, Yoshiko-san," Jared said.

"Arigato gozaimasu!" you said as you opened the car door to the right of you.

You closed the door and ran excitedly to the front door of your house. You knocked on the door three times. Shigure opened the door with a small smirk on his face.

"Well, hello, Yoshiko," Shigure said leaning on the hindge of the door.

"Tadaima!" you said happily.

'What with that look of his? He's probably thinking something perverted. Oh, that's right, I'm wearing a skimpy bikini!'

"Now, Yoshiko, really, at least considerate it. Will you marry me?" Shigure asked with a perverted smirk.

"I really don't like turning people down, Shigure but, no. Besides aren't I underage to date someone over eighteen?" you stated a little irratated.

"Actually, you can date me, I just can't you get you pregnant. We wouldn't go that far, now would we?" Shigure snickered.

You blushed and walked under his arm to avoid any more embarassing and awkward moments with Shigure.

"Tadaima!" you said no one imparticular.

"Oh! Yoshiko, welcome back!" Tohru said

"Hi, Tohru! Do you need any help with cooking?" you questioned.

"I think I've got it covered, but arigato," she responded.

"No problem," you said, "I'll be upstairs taking a shower, then."

"Ok!" Tohru said as she continued with her cooking.

The sand stuck on your body made you feel a little...icky. You went into your room set your cell phone down on your desk and opened the window next to your bed. You shook out all the sand from your clothes.

"AH! What the hell?!" you heard a voice say from under your window.

You looked over.

"Oh! Kyo! Gomen! I didn't know you were there," you said.

"What the hell was that?" he asked.

"Umm...sand," you said innocently.

"Great, I need a shower, now," Kyo said.

"Ha, I call first," you said as you rushed to get a change of clothes and ran into the bathroom.

You quickly locked the bathroom door and giggled to yourself. You placed your athletic shorts, t-shirt, and undergarments on the sink counter. You went into the shower with your bathing suit on, so you could rinse all the sand off before throwing it into the washer. As you washed your body, you noticed that most of your cuts and scratches had already scabbed.

After the shower you needed so much, you wrung all the water out of your suit into the sink, and you walked out of the steamed room.

"Geez, what did you do in there? Make a sauna?" Kyo remarked.

"Nah, do you know how long that would take? I only made a small fire," you said a matter-of-factly.

He snorted as a response.

You threw your bathing suit into the hamper in your room and ran down the stairs in a record time. You felt fairly energetic after the event that happened during that day.

"Hey, Tohru," you greeted, "How's dinner going?"

"Actually, I'm finished, I just need to set the table," Tohru said.

"Oh, I can do that," you said as you grabbed the napkins and chopsticks Tohru had already set aside.

"Arigato, Yoshiko," she said politely as she placed the food on plates.

"Oi, Kyo!" you shouted up the stairs with the napkins and chopsticks in your hands, "You better not shower right now, dinner's already ready!"

"I'm not gonna take as long as you did, dope. I'll be out in a few," Kyo said on his way to the bathroom.

'Okay..whatever you say.'

You strategically placed the untensils in front of every cushion on the table. After leaving your hands empty, you took it as a sign that it was time to place the plates on the table. You grabbed the five pure white ceramic plates that Tohru had placed at the end of the kitchen counter. Whatever Tohru had ook, you honestly couldn't wait to eat it. You took the plates to the dining table and placed them next to a npkin and a pair of chopsticks. Just as you finished, Tohru came out with the delicious looking Tempura, with some hot oil still sizzling on it. With that you walked to Shigure's room and knocked on his door.

"Shigure?" you asked.

"Yes, come in," he answered.

"It's time for..." you said as you opened his door, "Are you actually working?"

The sight of Shigure typing on his computer, with his glasses on, and with a serious look upon his face was beyond unimaginable.

"Oh, yes. I'm working on my newest volume, Somewhere in Paradise," Shigure said drawing his attention to you from his computer, "You came to tell me something?"

'Why are all the perverted books titled with something about "paradise"?'

"Oh, yeah, dinner, it's ready," you said.

"Ah! Dinner!" Shigure sang as he stood up and took of his glasses.

You turned around to make your way to Yuki's room.

'I think I'm scarred for life just seeing Shigure work.'

Passing by the set table and viewing the deliciously well prepared food, along with smelling the aroma of all the delicacies made your stomach growl to remind you that didn't have breakfast or lunch that day. In fact, you didn't have a single crumb of food the entire day. You decided to save yourself some time.

"Yuki!! Kyo!! Dinner's ready!" you screamed up the staircase.

"Yoshiko, not so loud, the neighbors might complain," Shigure said as he took his seat.

"Oh, you mean the friendly squirrel that lives in the tree across from us? Yeah, I'm sure he's going to throw a couple acorns at my head during my next walk. Oh, wait, or are you talking about the neighbor that live on the other side of the forest, which would be at least three miles away?" you said with sarcasm.

A.N.: I know it's not THE GREASTEST WAY to end this chapter, but I thought it'll just be funny to end with Yoshiko saying that. Haha, anyways, I hope you liked this chapter and I'm really sorry that it took this long. It's quite funny, I wrote the last chapter while the Opening ceremony of the Olympics were going on. Now, I'm writing this while the closing ceremony. Well, thank you for reading and I hope to see you next time!
