After the concert wasn't so great. It was pretty hard to get out, but Sakiko made it out of the crowd eventually, and she went straight to the airport for a short flight back home. She wanted to go back to everyone in the Host club all at once and hug them and never leave them again, but instead laugh with them for all eternity. But Sakiko knew they wouldn't forgive her easily, especially the twins, even though it wasn't entirely her fault. It was too bad it was night and she'd have to wait until the next day.

Sakiko had been up later than usual that night, and she was more exhausted than ever, but she got up for school earlier than usual, eager to get back to her friends.

It wasn't as easy as she had hoped. So many people had already heard about what she announced the night before and she was constantly crowded, no matter how much she asked everyone to leave her alone. They were suffocating her, but even when she saw the twins waltz by, they didn't seem to even think about helping her. Sakiko was surprised that they obviously hadn't heard. Sakiko ended up sprinting to each class or retracting into the much less used hallways to avoid too much of a crowd. The twins refused to look at her during their classes, and whenever she saw someone from the Host club they wouldn't talk to her, though Hunny seemed way too reluctant on this plan. His smile whenever they crossed paths would brighten Sakiko up, but when he remembered what he wasn't supposed to do and his smile disappeared, it left her feeling worse than before.

As soon as the bell rang she walked as quickly as she could out of the classroom and ran into the third music room, so when they Host club members arrived, they'd find her there. Everyone arrived together except Tamaki, he was nowhere to be seen, and Sakiko realized she hadn't seen him all day.

"SAKI-CHAN!" Hunny bounced towards her and jumped onto her like a cat. A big cat, and almost knocked her over, "Waaaaaaah! Saki-chan! I've missed you so much!" He cried and hugged her like he would never let go.

"So I can assume you all do know what I did last night?"

"Who doesn't?" Hikaru answered.

"Yeah, I bet people who don't even care know." Kaoru said and everyone nodded in agreement. They all took their places in the chairs and couches around her. It was akwardly silent, except Hunny's cries.

"Guys, I know you're mad at me but-"

"I'M NOT MAD AT YOU SAKI-CHAN! I MISS YOU!"

"I meant the others, Hunny."

"Oh..."

"I know you're mad at me but it wasn't entirely me. You guys kept bugging me about it. And I know you miss me and I miss you guys, too. It's sooo boring by myself, even though I was famous, it was so unbelievably boring."

The twins continued to look unimpressed. Hunny kept crying. Mori looked down, staying quiet but obviously thinking about what had happened. The same with Kyoya, though he kept his unconcerned expression. It was like he didn't want people to think he cared about anything except profit, but Sakiko knew that wasn't true.

"So where's Tamaki?"

"We don't know." The twins said.

"C'mon. I know you know."

"No, we really don't," Kyoya said, "But my guess would be he heard about last night and went looking for you."

"Where would he look for me?" Sakiko wondered and everyone just shrugged.

"Hm … maybe where you live?" Hikaru said coldly.

Sakiko thought for a moment, nodded and stood up. "I'll see you tomorrow." She said and ran out of the room and all the way home.

Sakiko was completely out of breath by the time she arrived at her house, but it was worth it, Tamaki was sitting with a few some what wilted flowers on the steps leading up to the front door. He noticed her uniform and gave her a puzzled look but hurried over to her anyway.

"I didn't think you would go to school today." He said as he hugged her cheerfully.

"Have you been sitting out here all day?"

"Pretty much." He grinned, then realized he was still holding the flowers he had bought, "Uh … here. I thought they might cheer you up a little after last night."

Sakiko gasped and took the flowers from him happily, "Thank you, Tamaki! They're beautiful."

"They would have looked better if they hadn't been sitting out here all day with me."

"Well then let's go put them in some water." Sakiko grabbed Tamaki's wrist and led him into the house. She dug out a vase from their storage closet and went to the kitchen to fill it up with water. They went upstairs to her room and she set the vase on her dresser then sat on her bed beside Tamaki.

"I really missed you, Tamaki." Sakiko hugged him and didn't let go. Tamaki slid his hand across her back and held her in a hug and kissed the top of her head.

For the rest of the evening they stayed in her room and she told him was her experience had been like then he told her everything that had happened without her. And about the rumour about the two of them being boyfriend and girlfriend.

Tamaki realized he had to leave and said he would pick her up for school the next morning.

The black car pulled up to the front of Ouran Academy. Tamaki made Sakiko wait for him to run around to her door and open it for her. She blushed as the other girls watched with jelousy. As they walked into the building Tamaki's hand slid into her own, making Sakiko blush even more and other students mouths drop open. Even though Tamaki was in a totally different classroom Sakiko blushed throughout all her classes AND lunch, and her face was still pink as she walked to the Host club.

"Hello, Sakiko!" She saw the twins as soon as she walked in, and they were oddly enthusiastic compared to the day before. Then she noticed the hangar with a cosplay they were both holding.

"Hi, guys!" She said even more cheerfully, trying to throw them off. It didn't work. They each slipped their arms under her armpits and dragged her to the changing room. She didn't bother struggling. She was actually relieved, they were acting normally. Not that it was really anyone's definition of normal.

Sakiko slipped into the dress and looked in the mirror, recognizing the cosplay from Heart No Kuni No Alice. She was cosplaying Alice Liddell. She stepped out and was watched by about fifteen pairs of female eyes as she inched over to the kitchen. She brought out the cart full of tea and sat with the guests.

"Sakiko, are you really dating Tamaki-kun?" One of them asked, curiously and jelously. Way to be subtle.

"Yes, I am." Sakiko said and felt the heat leaving her face, finally, and her words made them gasp.

"Isn't it weird, though?"

"What's weird?"

"He's the leader of the Host club."

"So?"

"So, he's flirting with a bunch of other girls and pretty much telling them all he loves them." Sakiko could tell the girl was just trying to get rid of her.

"Did it bother you before he even met me?"

"No."

"Then it shouldn't bother me either."

"Hey, Saki- um … Hey Alice!" Sakiko heard Hunny yell. She turned to face his voice, he was dressed up as Boris the cat, "Come have some sweets with me!" Sakiko smiled happily and left the annoying girl to eat with her friend.

Sakiko nibbled on her cake and sipped her tea as she looked around the room at all her friends. The twins had become Dee and Dum. Mori sat beside Hunny dressed as Julius. Kyoya looked like a smarter and bit quieter version of Blood Dupre. Her brother had become Peter White and Tamaki came to give her a hug dressed as Ace.

The twins eventually pulled out a couple of fake versions of the Bloody twins' axes and began chasing each other around the room. And once Hunny finished an entire cake he got on all four on the floor and started acting like a cat, not that Boris would ever do that.

Sakiko laughed at her friends and wished nothing would ever hurt their fun ever again.
