Surprised? I am too. I'm updating so soon! Of course, this has nothing to do with writer's block. After all, I'm kind of copying most of this from the old version of HOS. I still have writer's block, but now I've found the plan I made for the story! Because (hehe) I kind of lost it before... But not to worry! I found it so I'll be updating more often now. Enjoy the chapter!

Note: I've never been to this campsite before, so basically all of this is going to be wrong. I'm also pretty sure that you can't swim in Lake Sohara for later notes.

Disclaimer: Check the last chapter...I'm a bit lazy to write it.

*huff, huff, deep breath*

"Haruhi! I feel so old now! After just hiking a few miles, I become all tired," I complained, wiping sweat off my forehead.

From behind me, a irritated voice responded, "Speak for yourself! I'm kind of tired too. You know I'm not quite the athletic type."

"We're almost there. There's a great scene up soon that I discovered last time I came here."

"Liar. You looked at the website for the mountain to look for comments on places to go. Besides, you've never even been at this campground before."

I turned around.

"I-I...how'd you know?"

She rolled her eyes.

"I looked at the history of your laptop since you were acting a bit weird. Plus, since you e-mailed me everything about your life, you've always whined about not being about to go hiking or camping anywhere."

I continued walking up the trail.

"I was acting weird?"

"Well, at least now I know why. You were planning on ditching school and taking me to go camping!"

She glared at me. I laughed and pushed a branch of a tree aside. I did kidnap Haruhi under the pretense that I was going to bring her to school. It's not as if Ranka-san didn't know where she was. We're only staying up here for a week anyway, including today and yesterday. We were currently camping at the Kotakamori Auto Camp-jo. It's open year-round, but there aren't any other campers besides us. Right now, we're hiking in the Goshikinuma Marshes.

"It's an excused absence. I got permission from Tamaki's father. Plus, there are physical examinations today. Since we're both disguising as boys, why not skip it?"

"I can't believe I'm missing school for this."

She began mumbling about how she's going to miss the notes and she'll get behind on homework.

"You'll be fine! You can even get Kyouya to tutor you if your grades fall at all because of this."

She looked at me in horror.

"Never!"

I laughed again.

"Oh look. There's it is!"

The bush opened out in front of us. There was a great view of the lake we were staying by. But it since it was at night, some fog was covering the site.

"We should probably get back."

As we headed down, I looked suspiciously around us, behind us, and above us.

"Nee-san? What's wrong?"

Haruhi looked at me funny.

"Hm? Nothing at all. Let's just hurry down. It's late you know."

Indeed, nothing was out of the ordinary. But I had a tugging feeling that the Host Club would chase after Haruhi. I made sure to leave absolutely no traces of camping at my house or Haruhi's. Plus, I pleaded with Suoh-sama not to tell Tamaki where we went. I asked Ranka-san too. There was always Kyouya though. He's who I'm worried about. After all, he's on the good side of Ranka-san. He's the shadow king too. That's enough reason for me to be wary of him.

We arrived at the campsite we chose at a spot very close to the lake. Of course, we dug ditches around our tents in case the water level rose just a bit. I went inside my tent to drop my backpack inside. By now, it was about nine. We started hiking at six.

Haruhi and I sleep in separate tents. We don't like staying the same tent or bed. I'm not quite sure why, but I suspect it's something to do with our childhood and kicking. My tent was a Cabela's XPG Expedition 4-Season Tent. It was the two-person model. Haruhi's was a Trekker Classic Dome Tent, the three-person model. My sleeping bad was in the middle and the sleeping mat under it. I had a couple of blankets stuffed inside the bag too. My pillow was in the normal place.

I dropped my backpack, which held all the essential and personal things such as my passport, wash cloth, shampoo, sandals, insect repellant, etc, in the corner of my tent when we arrived at our campsite. I left the tent and saw Haruhi setting up a fire.

"Where's are the matches?"

"Weren't they in your bag?"

"I didn't see them."

"Oh well. I have extras in my car. I'll go get them."

I hurried to my car. All of the equipment we brought were in backpacks stuffed in the backseats of my Toyota. Once the fire was going, we started roasting marshmellows (a delicious classic). Though Haruhi wasn't paying attention to her marshmellow at the moment.

"Haruhi! Your marshmellows burning!"

She ignored me.

"Nee-san, what's that?"

I stopped eating my yummy white fluff.

"What's what?"

She pointed.

"That."

There were two helicopters in the sky with their spotlights searching everywhere on the mountain. When one landed on us, we squinted and looked down. The helicopters started heading down to land. I groaned, having a good guess of who they were. Once the first one landed, a blond boy immediately burst out with a much smaller blond following him.

"My daughters!"

He ran to hug Haruhi, who stepped out of his way.

"Aka-chan! Haru-chan!"

Mitsukuni ran to me puzzled at the white thing on my stick. He started asking me all these questions. Haruhi raised her eyebrows.

"Tamaki-senpai? Honey-senpai?"

"I've come to rescue you!"

I sighed.

"Hey, Tamaki-baka. We're NOT in danger."

He nodded as if confirming his last statement.

"That's exactly why-Wait. What?"

"Haruhi and I are just camping," I explained.

"Camping? Is that a commoner's sport?"

I rolled my eyes. Mitsukuni answered for me.

"Tama-chan, camping is staying out in the wilderness for a night or two."

"Then we shall stay with you two to fully explore the commoner experience!"

Haruhi stood.

"Seriously?"

"This is a chance for some much needed time between father and daughter!"

"You're not my father!"

"Haruhi, don't forget us now..."

The twins snaked their hands around Haruhi's neck and waist. I sat thinking and then something occured to me.

"Hey, how'd you guys find us? Even if I kind of expected it to happen, I made sure to leave no evidence..."

Kyouya sat down on my log with a snap of his notebook closing.

"These idiots decided to start searching for you yesterday after school. But we couldn't leave at night, so we left this morning. Then we spent most of the day searching for you in all the mountains around your house since I knew you were at some kind of mountain. Then Ranka-san kindly told me you were staying at this campground before we ran out of fuel for the helicopters. Please note. We spent all day looking for you when we could've been making great profits."

I decided to not inquire further. The shadow king was very irritated.

"Erm...Let's set up your tents and decide sleeping arrangements, shall we? I doubt you can go back since apparently you're almost out of fuel. Plus, Tamaki wants to stay for the rest of the time we're here. I only have two other tents. Let's get to it."

It took forever to set up the tents since everyone wanted to help (save the shadow king). Once we finished it was about ten-thirty, and now it's come to this.

"I get to sleep with Haruhi. It's father's right."

Kaoru smirked.

"Are you sure there are no ulterior motives to that, tono?"

Tamaki stuttered.

"We-well...I wanted to cuddle."

Hikaru pointed at Tamaki as if he was guilty of a crime.

"That's exactly why Kaoru and I should room with her."

I rubbed my eyes and turned on all of them.

"Who said anyone of you could chose? I'm the older sister. Plus, I'm not some fake sister someone's *ahem* are a fake father. I get to chose. Got it?"

"Yes ma'am."

I couldn't put Tamaki and Haruhi together. Never until they're married. Do you know how dangerous two people who like each other are together in a bed? And I'm definitely not rooming with him. That might ruin my relationship with Haruhi. Kyouya isn't going with either of us. Neither of us want to deal with when he wakes up. Hikaru and Kaoru are always together. Plus, who know what they would do with Haruhi. So twins together and then Tamaki and Kyouya together. That leaves Mitsukuni and Takash. It looks like both have to room with one of us.

"Alright. Tamaki and Kyouya go to the one left of me. Twins go to the right. Mitsukuni can room with me, and Takashi rooms with Haruhi. We should sleep now since we spent lots of time trying to set up."

As expected, there came a round of complaints.

"Why does Mori-senpai get to room with Haruhi?"

"Because I trust him the most."

"Why does Aka-chan want to room with me and not Takashi if you trust him the most?"

Now that was an interesting question. I decided to answer with a flirt, so I turned to wink at Mitsukuni.

"Is it so wrong I want you for myself?"

Kyouya had already started heading towards his tent.

"Hey, wait! Kyouya!" I shouted.

I ran to him.

"Here's your sleeping bag."

He looked at me and took it.

"Interesting choice of arrangements you have."

"I know right?" I responded. "Hikaru, Kaoru. You guys ok with sharing a sleeping bag?"

"Yep! We get to mess with Haruhi in the morning though to make up for not rooming with her!"

"Sure... Takashi, I'm trusting you with my little sister! Here's your sleeping bag."

Haruhi stood and lead Takashi to her tent. She was blushing.

"Aka-chan?"

"Hm?"

"Isn't there another reason why you put Takashi with Haru-chan?"

"Of course. Her tent's bigger than mine."

He had a face of 'that's-not-what-I-meant,' but I opened the flap to my tent and ignored him.

"It's alright if we share a sleeping bag right? I don't have any left, but there's a zipper divider that can go between us if you want it."

"Ye-yeah. It's fine."

I smiled and went inside my tent.

"Hey, Mitsukuni. Thanks for putting up with me. I don't think I'd be able to be calm rooming with anyone else."

"No problem. Good night."

"Night."

Moderately long, isn't it? I'm going to update WAW next, so check that out if you haven't already. I'm trying to update as much as I can before school starts. When that happens, you guys will have to wait 'til I'm not swamped or winter break. .

And btw, I have a YouTube channel now (in case you want to know). It's called shirofeathers. Also, I play Eden Eternal. It's a fun game to play in free time. I'm on Garnet. Add me ^^ My name's Kinya.
