"Look, Haruhi, there are birds from the south tropics here." Tama-chan said as he placed his hand at Haru-chan's shoulder. Haru-chan sweatdropped. "Pretty, right? I wonder what kind of birds they're called."

Haru-chan just ignored his question. "Where's the exit, again?"

Honey suddenly appeared and hugged me. "Hey, Kai-chan! Isn't this great? You're actually wearing a bikini like I have said a few weeks ago! You're so cute! It's a shame you're hiding your body with your hair."

I automatically blushed and just nodded. I'm trying to recap what just happened today. Why is time suddenly flying by so fast? Okay, let me remember things from the start.

Flashback (Start):

I was just walking outside the south school building. It was already 3:38 PM, so I might as well go home already; Haru-chan and Ryo-chan might be already waiting for me.

Suddenly, someone grabbed me and carried me. Wait a minute, the way this person carries me is so familiar… I think he's-

A cheery voice interrupted my thoughts. "Takashi! Great job!" Sigh, it's them.

I looked at Honey and gave him a confused look. "Honey, what do you mean by 'great job'?"

He just giggled. "You'll see."

A limo suddenly appeared in front of us. The car opened revealing Tama-chan, Kyō-chan, the twins and Haru-chan.

Tama-chan looked at us. "Great job, Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai. Bring her in."

With that, I was shoved in the car. Haru-chan suddenly talked to me with an apologetic look in her face. "They got you too, huh?"

I sighed. This better be worth it.

Flashback (End):

So yeah, Tama-chan's the reason why all of this happened.

~.^.^.~

"This is a theme park that the Ootori group runs, 'Tropical Aqua Garden'." Kyō-chan stated as he took his drink.

I quickly looked at where he is. I was about to listen more when Honey grabbed me.

"Kai-chan, you really made a great decision in choosing this bikini! But why isn't Haru-chan wearing a swimsuit? Didn't she join you in choosing one?"

I automatically played with my hair. Ugh, I think I'm a programmed robot. "Well, actually, I didn't choose this outfit. And about Haru-chan's, I really don't know why."

He didn't reply after that, for he was just staring blankly at me. I blushed and looked away.

He giggled. "Kai-chan, you shouldn't hide your body and face with your hair. I can't see your pretty face and body fully."

I don't know if this is even possible, but even my whole body went red. He giggled again.

"Kai-chan, how about let's go swim at the pool? The pool's current!"

I laughed. "Sure, why not?"

He smiled at me and grabbed my hand as he went turbo towards the pool. I then saw something at Honey. "Honey, why do you have a swim ring? Don't you know how to swim?"

He shook his head. "Just looks cuter this way."

I nodded. "Yeah, I agree." The moment I have said the words, I immediately regretted it.

Honey looked at me with curious eyes. "You think I'm cuter this way, Kai-chan?"

I am currently debating myself on what should I reply. I don't want to say no because if I'd be lying if I say so. I also don't want to say yes because he would tease me about it forever. So I just nodded while hiding my face with my hair completely. I love you hair.

He giggled. "You're so adorable!" He suddenly carried me bridal style.

I blushed while still covering my face. "H-honey! Wh-what are you doing?"

He ignored me as he continued to walk to a place that I can't see. He just removed my hair from my face including my hair that was covering my body.

My blush darkened. He giggled and hugged me. "Kai-chan! You're so cute when you're flustered!"

I looked away from him. When we arrived at the pool, he stopped and placed me down. Thank you pool, I love you too.

"Kai-chan, do you need a swim ring? I could give this to you if you want me to." He said as he removed his swim ring and held it to me.

I just shook my head and smiled. "No thanks. I want to swim freely." With that, I quickly jumped at the current pool. I swam down below the pool for a few seconds before ascending back.

Honey looked at me with a relieved sigh. "Oh thank goodness. I thought you already drowned there for a sec."

I just laughed. "Swimming is like, my most favorite sport besides karate, so I usually do tricks."

He also laughed but looked at me with a worried expression after. "Yeah, but don't do things like that to me again. I could have had a heart attack if you didn't ascend back immediately."

I laughed again. "Oh, don't worry. If you don't like what I'm doing then I won't do it again, I promise."

He gave me a flowery smile. "Okay!" And with that, he jumped towards me.

I swiftly avoided him. He immediately looked at me and held my hand. "Let's go swim, 'kay Kai-chan?"

I nodded vigorously. "Sure thing!"

We were about to swim when someone jumped at the pool. When I turned around, I saw Takashi going towards us.

Honey looked at him with a flowery smile. "Hey Takashi! Kai-chan and I are planning to swim! Do you want to swim with us?"

"Ah." Takashi replied as he placed Honey and I at his back while swimming. I squeaked in surprise.

"H-hey Takashi, are you sure you can carry the both of us?" I said as I blushed. Why do I have to squeak?

"Ah." He replied. He really is the 'get-to-the-point' type of person.

We were like that for a while before Takashi finally got tired. So Honey and I were left at the pool. Honey turned at me and smiled.

"Kai-chan, why don't you show me your tricks? Just not that type of trick you did earlier."

I nodded and beamed. "Sure!" With that, I did a backflip underwater. When I was finished, Honey looked at me with a surprised look.

"Wow! That's so cool! I never get to do that!" He said as he clapped his hands.

I smiled. "Honey, how about you stay here for a while? I'll just take a short swim for a moment."

He nodded. "Yeah, you can. But be careful, 'kay? This is a current pool."

I smiled and blushed a bit. "Thank you, Honey. I'll try to be careful." With that, I swam away from him. I navigated myself to a corner of the pool. I was about to reach the corner when a wave went towards me. I tried to swim away from it but I got caught.

Honey quickly swam towards me. "Kai-chan!"

The moment he said that, I quickly blacked out.

~.^.^.~

"…chan! Kai-chan! Kai-chan, please wake up!" I suddenly heard someone sobbing. Was I lying at the ground? Why is my face wet? I quickly opened my eyes to see a sobbing Honey. When he saw me already awake, he smiled while crying,

"Kai-chan! I'm so glad you're awake! I thought that you were… that you were…" He cried as he trailed off.

I quickly wiped his tears away. "Shhh, don't cry. I'm also so sorry for swimming off; I really didn't expect that thing to happen."

His crying slowly stopped crying. He then looked at me with teary eyes. "Kai-chan, just don't do things like that anymore, 'kay?"

I nodded. "I can't promise you, but I'll try to do so."

He then covered his eyes with his wet bangs. "Kai-chan…"

I quickly looked at him. It then I realized that I was sitting at his lap. I blushed and played with my also wet hair. "Yes?"

He suddenly looked at me with a mischievous smile. "Hika-chan and Kao-chan's maid did a very good job, you know."

I squeaked and covered my face and body. "E-eh?"

He giggled and stood up while carrying me bridal style again. I squeaked while covering my face. "H-honey! Don't c-carry me like this! I can walk!"

He giggled again and continued to carry me while walking. "I really like it when you squeak." He said as he removed my hair from my face.

My blush darkened. "Why d-do you s-say so?"

He looked at me with a flowery smile. "Because you're so cute and adorable."

I think my whole body's red right now. One more remark from him and I'll really explode. He suddenly stopped and placed me down. I looked at him with confusion. I stuttered. "W-why did you p-place me do-down? W-well, not th-that I like being carried by you. B-but I don't hate it either. B-but-"

He suddenly caught me off guard by cupping my face into his hands.

"Kairi, do you know what the magic words are already?" He said with an unreadable expression in his face.

My heart was beating fast. He was addressing me with my full name. I blushed but just looked in his eyes. He was also looking at me.

"U-um, I, ah…" I managed to stutter.

"Kai-chan, since you really don't have a clue, I'll just spill the beans instead, 'kay?" He said as he still cupped my face into his hands.

I just nodded. His face was like, getting nearer and nearer until he stopped when our foreheads touched. I was blushing madly and my heart beats so fast for some reason that I don't know, but I just ignored it. I want to know what the magic words are.

"Kai-chan, I-"

Honey was suddenly interrupted when I suddenly heard something growling. When Honey turned, my eyes immediately went wide open.

Honey carried me bridal style immediately and ran. I didn't even care about him carrying me, because I was so concentrated at looking at something.

"Why are there alligators here?!" I said in disbelief.

"Kai-chan, ask Kyō-chan about this." He replied as he continued to run.

When the alligators were already lost in sight, Honey was panting hard. I quickly felt guilty for not running on my own, so I got down from his arms.

Honey looked at me with a confused look. "Why have you got down?"

I rolled my eyes and pointed at him. "It's because you're tired, silly." I turned around only to see a bunch of trees. "We might as well find the others. They might be worried."

He went to me and faced me. "Kai-chan, how about let's climb at a tree? In that way, we could see the others easier!"

I beamed. "Sure, that's a great idea!"

Suddenly, it rained. Well, what do you know? This artificial tropical garden has rain. I shivered. This is why I hate wearing a bikini; it makes me cold.

Honey suddenly looked at me. "Kai-chan, are you cold?"

I shook my head and smiled. "No, I'm not. I'm just having the chills for a sec for some odd reason."

He looked unconvinced. "Kai-chan, you're lying."

I didn't respond to him and just started to climb at a tree nearby. "Come on! We must go and see the others!"

He just ignored me, but went towards me and also climbed up. I sighed in relief. I was about to continue climbing when Honey climbed faster than I and grabbed my waist. He then got the both of us down. He also let me sit down. When we sat down, he had his eyes covered up again by his bangs.

I looked at him with a confused expression. "Honey, why are we sitting down? We are supposed to go to the othe-"

"Stop ignoring yourself! You're shivering, yet you just ignored it just for the others!" He interrupted me as he yelled at me. I was shocked at his outburst. I mean, you don't get to see Mitsukuni Haninozuka act like this every day. But he's kinda right. I always ignore myself.

He suddenly hugged me tightly while entangling his feet into mine. The next thing I knew, we were lying under a tree.

I squeaked. "H-honey-"

"Let's stay in this position for a while." He said as he interrupted me again. His eyes were still covered by his bangs.

I blushed. My heart began to beat fast again. Why does this happen whenever Honey is around me?

~.^.^.~

I felt somebody shaking me. When I opened my eyes, I saw Honey who was not hugging me anymore with a flowery smile. "Kai-chan! I didn't know you were asleep!"

I was asleep? Wow, I'm surprised. I suddenly remembered something. "Honey, let's climb at a tree! It's no longer raining!"

He looked at me with a worried expression. "Are you sure you're already fine? Maybe I should climb alone."

I shook my head frantically. "No, I'm serious! I'm no longer shivering!"

He looked unconvinced for a second before smiling. "Okay, if you say so!"

We quickly climbed up at a tree near us. When we were finally at the top, we saw a helicopter with men going down a ladder while carrying firearms. We suddenly heard a scream. Wait, that scream's so familiar…

My eyes went wide in realization. "Honey, it's Haru-chan! We have to go!"

He nodded at me before looking around us. He got a hanging vine and held his hand to me. "Kai-chan, this vine will lead us to Haru-chan's. Let's go!"

I nodded and took his hand. I was carried by him bridal style before we finally swung. Just how many times did he carry me already this day? Oh yeah, about four times already.

When I finally saw Haru-chan, I also saw Takashi who was carrying her. They were surrounded by a lot of men. I frowned.

"Takashi! Haru-chan! Move!" Honey yelled.

I released the vine even though we were still far away from the ground to kick the guy that was holding his firearm towards Haru-chan and Takashi. Apparently, I had hit him on the face, so I think I'm going to apologize later. I landed on the ground safely. I also happen to see Honey doing the same thing I did earlier. My eyes were covered by my bangs, but I can still see clearly.

The men with firearms held their firearms towards us. "What do both of you think you're doing, you little pipsqueaks?!"

One of the men spoke up. "No matter, get the both of these, too!"

"Heh." I simply said as I took one of the men's shoulders and threw him to the ground. I threw more and more men on the ground until they are finally cleared out. When I looked at Honey, I also saw that he already cleared the other men.

I crouched for a second before finally standing straight. I quickly turned to Haru-chan. "Haru-chan, are you alright?"

Haru-chan seems to be sweatdropping. Honey suddenly talked. "Don't go being so reckless," He turned to us while waving his finger. "Hurting my friends is a no-no!"

I grinned and nodded. "Yes, I agree!"

There was a silence for a few seconds when a voice suddenly yelled. "Haruhi!"

When I turned, I saw it was the twins, Tama-chan and Kyō-chan running towards us.

Honey also looked at them. "Ah, Tama-chan!"

"Huh?" Hika-chan started.

"Honey-senpai and Kairi-senpai!" Kao-chan finished.

"Haruhi!" Tama-chan suddenly yelled. He then hugged Haru-chan. "I was worried about you." Haru-chan just sweatdropped.

The twins suddenly poked the men who were now knocked out. "Not sure what happened here, but they seem okay." Hika-chan started.

"Well, Honey-senpai was the one who did this, right? Then he must have been holding back." Kao-chan finished. I was kind of happy that he didn't include me; because I think it's better if they didn't know.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Haru-chan said as she pinched Tama-chan's hand to make him let her go.

"Huh?" Kao-chan started.

"You don't know?" Hika-chan finished.

"The Haninozukas have been famous for their martial arts for generations. They've instructed not just the police and SDF, but overseas military forces, as well." Hika-chan stated. Well, so is our family. But then, what we really specialize the most are our restaurants though.

"In particular, Honey-senpai has been called the dreadnaught of the Haninozuka family, for as long as he was around, and by the time he was in middle school, he was the national champion for the karate and judo." Kyō-chan also stated.

"Incidentally, Mori-senpai also became the national champion in kendo, when he was in middle school." Tama-chan also stated.

Honey looked at Kyō-chan. "Also, Kai-chan helped me in knocking down these guys!" Thank you very much, Honey. Now they know my secret.

The others, excluding Kyō-chan and Takashi, gave me a shocked look.

"Eh?" Hika-chan started.

"Kairi-senpai?" Kao-chan finished.

"Oh, I almost forgot to inform all of you. The Okanes have also been famous for their martial arts for several generations, too. They also do the same stuff as the Haninozukas, so both of them are considered family rivals, but are actually friends outside battle." Kyō-chan paused for a second before looking at me. I inwardly shivered. "Also, Kairi-senpai is as strong as Honey-senpai; she was the national champion for both karate and judo in the girls division by the time she was just seven years old. She is the champion for the national swimming competition, too, when she was just twelve."

When Kyō-chan finished, everyone looked at me with wide eyes, excluding Honey and Takashi.

The twins decided to talk to me to break the awkwardness. "Kairi-senpai, how did the both you reach here?" Kao-chan asked.

"You know what? We reached the end of the current pool, and then we went looking for you guys." I said with an 'as-a-matter-of-fact' tone.

Suddenly, the men in black outfits bowed at Honey and I. "We humbly apologize!"

"Huh?" I said with a confused look.

"I am a 2nd-generation student of the Ishikuza Dojo!"

"I am a student of the Todoroki Dojo!"

"I'm from the Otake Dojo! We are in debt in the both of you!"

"Oh, is that right?" Honey asked.

"Yes, sir! We were completely unaware that we were looking for Haninozuka Mitsukuni-sama and Okane Kairi-sama, and have committed a terrible offense! Although, accidental though it may have been, my dojo will take pride in the day I was able to engage the both of you, Mitsukuni-sama and Kairi-sama, personally, for generations to come!" One said while bowing.

I was completely sweatdropping at the whole scene. I mean, is my family really that high and mighty? And 'Kairi-sama'? Ugh.

I quickly went to all of them. "Guys, you can stop bowing at us now. It was really just an accident; it's no big deal. So please, stand up."

They quickly stood up and saluted their hands. "Yes, Kairi-sama!"

I sweatdropped. But I decided to give them a smile. "Okay then! Just don't call me 'Kairi-sama'. Call me 'Kairi' or 'Kai-chan' instead; I hate it when people call me 'Kairi-sama'."

They saluted again. "We will, Kairi!"

I nodded and smiled. I then turned to the Honey, who was patting Takashi's head. "Takashi, you did very well protecting Haru-chan."

Takashi nodded. "Ah. You also did well protecting Kairi." I felt weird when he called me by my full name, that's like, the first time he addressed me by name.

Honey beamed. "Uh huh! I did very well! I made sure to protect her from the alligators and cover her from the rain!" With that, he looked at me mischievously. I quickly blushed and turned away. Kyō-chan kinda noticed it and took out his black notebook and began to write something.

I want to get over this! "So, who's up for cake?" I said as I laughed nervously.

~.^.^.~

When I finally arrived at my apartment, it was already late afternoon. It was planned that we should go to the beach next to clear the mood. It has been a very long day, so I decided to resign to my bedroom while Haru-chan cooked for dinner at my kitchen. I had asked her if she could cook alone, because I was recently not feeling well, and she nodded vigorously. So here I am right now, in my room with Isa-chan, trying to figure out this feeling that I had.

I don't know what I'm currently feeling right now. Ever since Honey came into my life, I've been starting to have some weird symptoms over a disease that I still don't know the name. But I just ignored these, thinking that it's probably stress since I had lost Isa-chan. But now that Isa-chan had been long found already, this thing still exists. Worst, it only happens when I'm around Honey.

Every time I'm with him, I always get flustered. My heart also beats so fast, like I had joined a running marathon, and yet I'm not panting for air. I also tend to stutter when we have close contact, and recently, I'm always thinking about him. Almost every minute, I think about him. I also happen to fix my messy hair often nowadays, only to see his reaction, which is very unusual for me. The thing that I'm most confused about is that Honey never seems to react like that when I'm around him.

Or maybe, all of this is happening because I'm shy around him! Yes, that's probably it!

…Or not.

"Ugh! I really don't know!" I yelled as I held my hair in frustration.

"What do you mean you don't know, Kairi?" Haru-chan suddenly asked from the kitchen.

I quickly blushed and laughed nervously. "Oh nothing, Haru-chan! It's just that I just really don't know what our food for today is." What a lame excuse.

She laughed. "Oh, that? We're having curry rice and some sushi. It's actually cooked now. Let's eat."

I sighed but smiled even Haru-chan can't see me. "Okay, Haru-chan! Coming right up!" I said as I got out of my room.

Sigh. I guess I'll just eventually find out soon what I'm feeling.

~.^.^.~

Hi guys! I finally updated after being gone for two days! Man, I can't survive there for long! You could barely catch wi-fi signals! Also, other guests there speak in a totally different Filipino language! I don't understand a thing at all, even though I'm Filipino! It's a good thing there's an aircon there, if none, we would be probably be baked already. Anyways, I'm currently listening to "Shissou" by Last Alliance. Listen to it! It's the ending song of OHSHC! It's a great song! By the way, back to the story! What do you think? Kairi starts to feel something there! I already have some "plans" for the next chapter, but I think I gotta sleep for now; it's like, 11:43 PM here! I'm sleepy, and I need to wake up early tomorrow! So for now, sayonara!

Replies:

loopyhutton: Thank you so much! I'm glad you're clinging to my story!

Gottaloveastory: Yeah, even for me. I can't actually imagine Honey curse, truth to be told. But I really had this strange urge to add it, to make Honey a bit 'evil', because he can't be good and innocent all the time, right? Oh, and to answer your other question regarding Hairi, I think a bit soon! Just remember to stay tuned! And yeah, Honey, you're seventeen years old. Face the thoughts. See ya in the next chapter!

alice (guest): Thank you very much! I really appreciate your review! I promise to keep writing as soon as I can! Oh and about Honey and Kairi date, I also happened to have "plans" for it, but I'm really not the type to go get-to-the-point, because what's the point of making a story if you're just going straight to the point? So please wait for the other chapters! You won't regret it for sure!

princess-snow510: Yeah, we're going to meet her! Hai-chan will be coming soon, don't worry! Just not really very soon, and also not very late. I'm not the get-to-the-point type, so please wait for the other chapters!

Other replies:

princess-snow510: Yes, I completely agree on that! How I wish I was Kai-chan! Thank you for loving my story!
