Not much to say... except next chapter things are going to get really serious- so, consider yourselves warned.
Disclaimer: I dont own Ouran High School host Club- just the Uchiha family- mainly Yuuki.
Kii heard the phone ringing and answered it quickly.
"Hello, Uchiha residence…" she said, and listened," Oh Uchiha-san… Um, no… we haven't found her yet- but im sure that she'll turn up at some point… Yes sir… yes sir… Yes. Bye sir." Slowly, I hung up the phone and looked at the dishes I had been putting away. My hands slightly shook and I gripped the counter. These girls where like the sisters I never had… Izumi-san found me on the streets one day many years ago- and I've been working for the Uchiha's ever since… Looking up and to my left, out the window that looked out over the front of the property, I prayed that Yuuki-chan was safe and would come home soon.

The next day at school, I saw all the hosts in a small circle in front of my classroom. Haruhi and I walked up to them- and I saw them all stare at me in wonder.
"What?" I asked, as we stopped- just a few feet from them.
"Why are you and Haruhi walking together?" Hikaru asked. I looked over at Haruhi- who instantly came up with something.
"Her limo pulled up just as I arrived- so we walked this far together," Haruhi told him.
"Oh," Tamaki, Hikaru, Kaoru and Hunny said in unison.
"Why are you all together this early?" I asked them- and it was Kyoya who answered.
"We were just talking about Tamaki's latest idiotic idea for the Host Club," Kyoya answered.
"Oh," I said, and then the bell rang, and everyone departed to their classrooms.

The Host club met after school that day- and I when I walked into the classroom I walked up to Haruhi.
"Haruhi-san? Can I borrow your cell phone real quick?" I asked.
"Sure," Haruhi said, and dished her phone out of her bag- after handing it to me, she walked into the changing room to change into her chosen outfit for this evening's Host activities. They were all dressing as some people from a place called Fruits Basket- what ever that was. My fingers dialed the familiar number and while I listened to it ringing- I stood at a window- looking out at the school grounds.
"Hello- Uchiha residence." My voice seemed to freeze, and I couldn't speak. Before I realized it- I had hung up.
"You need to do this, you know." Turning around, I saw Kyoya already in his outfit. It seemed to really fit him- except the red hair… not really his color.
"Kii is really worried about you," Kyoya told me, walking up to me," With you not showing up at home for a couple days- and disappearing like that."
"How…-?"
"I have my resources- and no, Haruhi said nothing to me," Kyoya said, and then turned around and left me standing there. I saw him sit down at a table and open up his laptop. Sighing, I realized he was right, and opened the cell phone again. Dialing the number while taking a deep breath- I listened once again to the ringing.
"Hello- Uchiha residence." The breath I had been holding flowed out and I found my voice after a couple seconds.
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
"Kii?"
"Yuuki-chan! Oh my- where are you?! Where have you been?! Are you alright?! We've been worried sick about you! Your father is going sick with worry about you!"
"He… is?" My voice was weak- but she could still hear me.
"Yes, of course he is hunny," Kii said," We all are."
"Not all of you," I scowled.
"What do you me-"Kii began, and then asked me," your sister, im guessing?"
"Yeah," I scowled darkly. I heard Kii sigh and could almost imagine her looking towards where my sister was- even if it was looking at walls- it was still almost the same.
"Don't worry about her- just please, come home. Call your father- something," Kii pleaded with me.
"I will," I said softly, and felt a tear fall down my cheek. Quickly, I used the sleeve of my sweatshirt and wiped it away.
"Are you alright Yuuki-chan?"
"Yeah- I've been in good hands for the past two days- don't worry," I told her, and then heard the other Hosts goofing off- mainly Hikaru and Kaoru.
"Well- I've got to go Kii… I'll see you later," I said.
"Promise?" Kii asked.
"Promise," I nodded, and then said," Bye."
"Bye sweetie." I flipped the cell phone shut and let out another deep breath. I gave the cell phone back to Haruhi- thanking her and then sat down at the table Kyoya was at.
"You know what boss?" Hikaru said, leaning on Tamaki.
"You consider her your daughter… maybe- since there's an extra costume back there… maybe Yuuki-san can wear it?..." Kaoru continued. Tamaki brightened.
"You're right! Mom can we?!" I looked- wide-eyed – at Kyoya.
"Sure," Kyoya said- and I hung my head. There was no way I wanted to do this- no way I was going to.
"Yuuki-chan… can you do this for me, please?" Haruhi asked, desperately.
"Curse you Haruhi-san," I muttered and walked off to the dressing room. I emerged a little bit later in some school uniform.
"Who the he- heck am I supposed to be?" I asked, looking at the outfit.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha." I looked around- and suddenly, a girl appeared before me.
"You- are Tohru Honda!" she exclaimed- and then realized something and began talking to herself," Wait… Tohru is later with Kyo-kun… not fair… why didn't I choose Tohru?" I stared at her, blinking a couple times, and then shrugged.
"What's the story behind Tohru?" Haruhi asked.
"Oh! She's basically the main girl in the story! She's fought over by Kyo Sohma and Yuki Sohma," – Kyoya looked up slightly from his laptop and Kaoru looked kind of stunned - ," But in the end, Tohru ends up with Kyo- and Yuki ends up with… Uo-chan… I do believe…" I blinked a couple times again, and then shook my head.
"I have no idea who any of these characters are," I told her, and she smiled.
"Doesn't matter, your in it- so deal with it," she told me," anyway- Kaoru is Yuki, Mori is Hatori, Hikaru is Hiro, Hunny is Momiji, Haruhi is Uo-chan, and Tamaki is Ayame." Again, I only blinked at her- but before I could ask another question, Tamaki whisked me away and sat me down in the small set they had.
"Let the Host Club," Tamaki said, sitting down while everyone gathered around him," Begin." Sighing, I guessed it was too late now to back out of this. Guess I just had to deal with it today…
"For Haruhi-san," I reminded myself.
