The next day my sister and I were running late…again. One of these days Kyoya is going to kick my butt, and it's all going to be because of Haruhi and always having to forget something. I'm not even sure what it was she exactly forgot. I just kinda allowed her to drag me off to the music room doors, back to our classroom, and then once again to the music room. Once we finally made it back to Music Room 3 though, Haruhi opened the door first and peeked her head inside.

"Hey, guys. Sorry we're so late," she said. A second later she was pulled all the way through the door. I blinked at where she had just been standing a moment ago before pulling the door all the way open. I spotted Tamaki with his hands on Haruhi's shoulders and a stern look in his eye.

"Don't you worry, Haruhi," he told her. "We're determined to keep your secret. No one will find out that you're really a girl during tomorrow's physical exams. So please promise you'll stay our beloved secret princess."

Haruhi blinked up at him twice. "Sure."

"What's this now about a secret princess?" I stepped into the room and shut the door quietly behind me. I walked straight over with my bag to place it in its usual spot by Kyoya's personal table before making my way over to the large windows. For some reason I felt that my bag would be safer at his table since the twins and Tamaki wouldn't dare touch it if it was close to Kyoya's stuff.

Haruhi glanced over at me once Tamaki released her and shrugged. "No clue."

"You know what?" Hikaru looked over at his brother. "I think both of us would be a little peeved if we had to watch all the guys flirt with her."

"And yet you don't mind all the girls flirting with her?" I muttered under my breath.

"Then that settles it," Kaoru said.

"Boys don't flirt with you, do they, Rikku?" Tamaki shyly glanced over at me.

"Rich boys flirting with a commoner girl in boy's clothes? Yeah right. The only guys who talk with me are the six of you."

Tamaki immediately beamed at me before rushing from the room and pulling out with him a giant white board with some sort of plan written upon it. The Host boys gathered around Tamaki who held one of the markers in his hand. "Listen up, squad members. At tomorrow's physical exams, position yourself in formation A and then wait for your orders."

Honey clapped when Tamaki was done while the twins said in unison, "Yes, sir!" and saluted him.

Haruhi moved so she was standing in front of one of the windows and then placed her fist on top of her palm as she realized why the guys were so concerned. "I've got it."

I looked at her out of the corner of my eye before leaning back against the wall. "And what's that exactly?"

"You guys are worried because if they find out that I'm a girl I can't be a Host and therefore can't repay my debt," she continued on.

I sighed. "I don't think that's exactly the reason behind all their planning, Haruhi."

She wasn't listening to me though as she began making calculations in her head and faced the window. "My balance is 5 million 333 thousand 332 yen. Well, guess I'll just have to come up with another way to pay you back." She then began to laugh to herself.

"Do something," I heard the twins say angrily to Tamaki. "The subject doesn't appear to have any motivation."

"Ugh, why'd we get stuck with such a difficult heroine?" Tamaki said back, just as angry.

"You do know that we can hear you?" I asked. I glanced at Haruhi and saw that she was still laughing to herself. "I take that back. Only I can apparently hear you. Continue on then with your angry remarks about my sister."

Once Haruhi finally stopped laughing Tamaki pointed a finger at her dramatically. "Are you saying you hate being a Host? That you hate this club?"

Haruhi had a finger to her chin in thought. "To be honest, I'd have to say yes."

Tamaki gasped and ran over to his corner. I gave him a raised eyebrow. "Why are you so surprised, senpai? You did force Haruhi to join in the first place."

"But she's the one who broke the vase," the Hitachiin twins told me.

"Doesn't mean you had to force her to pay it off. Each of you is rich, aren't you? Why couldn't you all then just put some money together and pay for a new vase yourself? We wouldn't have this problem of having to keep Haruhi's gender a secret if you hadn't forced her to pay a debt."

"Well there's nothing that can be done now," Haruhi said. She then grinned and placed a hand behind her head. "I mean, you guys aren't bad, but if it gets out that I'm a girl there's nothing I can do, you know?" I gave my sister a raised eyebrow when she started to laugh once again.

"She doesn't seem to care one way or the other," Hikaru said. The five remaining Hosts stood in a line before us. Kyoya was turned off to the side writing while the others stared at my sister.

"Well, before we do anything else we have to find a way to motivate her," Kaoru added

"Good luck with that," I told them. "Not much can motivate my sister once she's had her mind made up."

Suddenly Mori said, "Fancy tuna."

I blinked over at him before glancing over at my sister. Her eyes were widened slightly and she slowly turned around to face the Hosts. I gave everyone a strange look. What was so great about fancy tuna? It felt like some inside joke that only the others knew about since realization hit the Hosts as they stared at my sister.

"Oh that's right," Tamaki said in a creepy voice. "You didn't get the chance to eat any during last episode's party, did you?" He turned his head around to face my sister. I flinched at the horrible facial expression he wore on his mug. Silently he stood up and walked over to stand beside Kyoya and the rest of the boys.

"Did you hear that?" Hikaru 'whispered' to his twin. "She's never eaten fancy tuna before. Isn't that awful?"

"Wow. Talk about a difficult childhood," Kaoru 'whispered' back.

"If only Haru-chan could stay in the Host Club she'd have the chance to eat all kinds of yummy things whenever she wants," Honey said to his stuffed rabbit.

"What are you talking about? Don't be silly," my sister nervously said. She started to wave a hand at them as if it were no big problem. "Just 'cause I'm poor and never had it doesn't mean I'm so much of a glutton I'd go on fooling everyone about my gender just to try some fancy tuna." Everyone was grinning at her as Haruhi started to give an uneasy laugh with a fake smile on her face.

"And in three, two, one," I announced.

She suddenly stopped laughing and looked away with a hand to her mouth in embarrassment. "Am I really going to get to try it?" she asked. The twins, Honey, and Tamaki laughed together at her in achievement and glee.

"You really are a glutton," I told my sister. I came up beside her and patted her shoulder in a comforting way. Tamaki immediately took the other Hosts back over to his whiteboard and forced them to listen to more of his plan. I didn't heed them any attention as I kept patting my sister's shoulder. "I think we should get you a hobby to keep your mind off of food. Maybe you could play sports with me? I'm heading out to the school soccer fields after the club today anyway."

She gave me a look. "You know I suck at sports."

"Yeah, I know. But I still need someone to be the goalie."

She frowned and sat down on the window ledge. I joined her a moment later and placed my head on her shoulder. "So it seems as if we aren't having any customers today since all of them are over there planning on how to keep my gender a secret."

"You wanna leave now then? The quicker we get to the field means more time to mess around. Unless you'd rather play inside? Though we might break something and give you a bigger debt…."

"That's so hilarious, Rikku." Haruhi frowned at me and lightly pushed my head off of her. I gladly jumped off the ledge and to my feet. "Almost as funny as the joke you made at the party. Right before you had to dance with Kyoya-senpai."

My sister grinned in triumphant when my cheeks burned slightly red. "Please let's not talk about it. We may be sisters but I can still push you out of that window and make it look like an accident."

"Just get the soccer ball from your bag," Haruhi rolled her eyes. I stuck my tongue out at her in response and skipped over to my satchel. I pulled out my one and only soccer ball before slinging my bag over my shoulder. On my way back over to Haruhi, the Hitachiin brothers stopped me by each of my arms. I glanced between the two of them. "What?"

Hikaru grinned. "We wanna play."

"What happened to planning whatever operation with Tamaki-senpai?" I asked. Honey and Mori then walked up beside us.

"We've already gotten it taken care of," Kaoru grinned as well.

I sighed. "Fine."

"We wanna play too!" Honey beamed up at me.

"I guess we can play with two small teams." I quickly counted the number we had. "Okay. It looks like three-on-three."

"You mean four-on-four," Tamaki corrected me. He grabbed Kyoya by the arm and walked over to us. "We're playing too!"

"Speak for yourself," Kyoya growled and forced his arm out of Tamaki's grip.

"Oh come on, senpai," Hikaru whined.

"Without you we only have seven which is uneven," Kaoru added.

"Tamaki-senpai can take my spot which will keep it even," Haruhi chimed in.

I shook my head. "I'd rather have four-on-four instead of three-on-three. It's better and makes more sense since we're gonna still need goalies." Haruhi grumbled under her breath but said no more. I looked back at Tamaki and Kyoya. "Come on, senpai. Lighten up and have some fun. Fresh air isn't going to kill you."

"I refuse," he hissed, going back to writing in his folder. "I will not play such a childish game."

I shook my head in annoyance. "How do you even pass gym class?"

Hikaru and Kaoru glanced at each other and leaned across me to whisper to the other. I couldn't hear much of what they were saying since they were being so quiet, but once they finished they pulled their heads away from the other and released my arms. I gave them puzzled looks when the two of them began to walk silently towards the direction of the changing room.

"I only do what brings merit to me," Kyoya answered back, pushing his glasses up slightly. "Playing soccer for fun does nothing for me while participating in the sport for class gets me excellent grades."

I threw my empty hand up in the air in defeat and closed my eyes. "Whatever. Do whatever you want. I hope you live a boring life until the day you die."

There was then a loud scrambling sound and a grunt was heard as someone, or someones, crashed to the floor. I reopened my eyes just in time to have a black thing thrown into my free hand and glasses forced onto my face. I blinked when everything suddenly became somewhat blurry.

Two red blurs grabbed my arms and hurriedly dragged me out of the room. As I was dragged, the glasses I was wearing started to slightly fall down my face making it so I could easily see over the tops of the lenses. I looked up at my kidnappers and found both Hikaru and Kaoru dragging me as quickly as humanly possible. Looking back in front of me I saw Honey, Mori, Haruhi, and Tamaki jogging after us. I then glanced down at my one hand. My left eye gave a twitch of annoyance.

"You know he's going to kill the two of you right?" I asked. I carefully examined the cover of the black folder in my hand over Kyoya's glasses.

"It was the only way we knew how to make Kyoya-senpai follow us."

"Is it really a good idea to force a slightly blind guy to follow us?"

"Slightly blind?"

"Exactly what I said. Slightly blind. Kyoya-senpai's glasses are terrible. He must have horrible vision."

"Uh oh."

"Yeah. That's correct. Uh oh." I looked over at Tamaki who was now the closest to the twins and me. "Senpai, you might want to make sure Kyoya-senpai doesn't hurt himself. The last thing we need is for him to fall down some stairs."

"Is that really a bad thing?" the twins asked me.

"That's a very bad thing since I don't want to be responsible for his death. Even though it technically would be both of your faults. As you already are well aware of, Haruhi and I are poor. That means if we were to get sued for another man's death, we wouldn't be able to pay any money. And if Kyoya-senpai is just as bad as his father, then I don't even want to think about how much we would get sued by his family."

"Right," Tamaki said, slowing his pace. "I'll go and check on him to see how's he doing then."

As Tamaki began to run back down the hall I shouted, "Don't die either!" Tamaki looked back over his shoulder at me and smiled, giving me the thumbs-up, only to run into someone a second later. Both figures fell to the floor as the rest of us slowed to a stop. The other figure rose to his feet before Tamaki and dusted himself off. I stared with wide eyes.

"Who's that?" Haruhi asked curiously. I would've face-palmed if I had a free hand. Mori suddenly threw Haruhi over his shoulder and ran past the twins and me with Honey right behind him. The twins were still staring at the black haired figure as Tamaki rose up to his feet.

"Seriously," Hikaru began.

"Who is that?" Kaoru finished for his brother.

"Um, hello? That's Kyoya-senpai! Either release me or run for your pathetic lives!" I exclaimed. I tried to get out of their tight grasps. Even though I had nothing to do with the twin's prank, I looked just as guilty as them because I was the one who had his stuff. "It seems as if I was mistaken. Apparently Kyoya-senpai can see quite well without his glasses."

The Hitachiin brothers kept staring at Kyoya, who looked mad as hell and was marching over to us. Tamaki was being dragged along the floor as he tried to hang onto Kyoya's foot. He was crying and kept saying, "They're just kids, Mommy. Don't hurt our beloved children!"

"Well, Rikku," Kaoru said.

"This is the moment," Hikaru continued.

"Where we run for our lives!" they both shouted together before dropping me to the floor. I let go of my soccer ball as my head crashed against the ground, causing a groan to escape my lips. "Good luck with the Shadow King!" they called to me as they rounded the corner.

Shadow King? Do they mean Kyoya-senpai? That doesn't sound good.

Tamaki was still clinging to Kyoya as the dark haired student hovered over me. My eyes ran slowly up his body before meeting with his grey ones. They narrowed slightly as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Don't hurt, Rikku!" Tamaki wailed. Kyoya frowned down at his friend and balled a fist which then connected with the top of Tamaki's head a moment later. Tamaki clenched his eyes in pain and released Kyoya, who brought his attention back down to me.

"My folder and glasses, Rikku."

"Promise me first that you won't kill me but instead the Hitachiin twins. It wasn't my fault that they forced your stuff into my hands."

"Deal. Now hand over my belongings," he ordered. "I would very much like to see."

I grinned and rose slowly to my feet. I was safe! I handed over Kyoya's glasses first, which he placed on his face, and then gave him his black folder. I had never been given a pencil so either he still had it or the twins lost it. Kyoya quickly opened his folder and scanned whatever needed to be inside before re-shutting it.

"Since we're halfway to the fields you might as well come with Tamaki-senpai and me," I told him. I bent down and picked up the soccer ball. "I really could care less if you don't want to play, but I can tell how much you want to get back at Hikaru and Kaoru for stealing your things."

"But that would make the game three-on-four," Tamaki pointed out.

I shrugged. "I'm not going to force Kyoya-senpai to do something that he doesn't want to do, even if his reason for why is plain stupid. I'll just let all of you guys play for fun and I'll stand on the sidelines and take some pictures, maybe even help Kyoya-senpai plan his revenge on the twins."

"You have a camera?" Tamaki curiously asked me.

I nodded and reached into my bag. I pulled out a nice little camera that was a Christmas present from my sister and father two years ago. I grinned at Tamaki and took a photo of him and Kyoya. When I went to review the photo, I couldn't help but laugh. Kyoya wore a frown on his face while his glasses caught the flash of the lenses making it impossible to read his eyes. Tamaki on the other hand had a huge smile on his face and had wrapped an arm around Kyoya's shoulders at the last second.

"Well, that's cute," I chuckled, turning the camera around to show the two boys. Kyoya kept frowning while Tamaki took the camera out of my hands and immediately took a photo of me. I blinked a little afterwards to rid my eyes of the bright light before taking my camera back from him. The photo wasn't too bad. I was still chuckling in the photo and my eyes were about to close, but the only major problem with the picture was it was kinda crooked and a tad bit blurry. Looking up at Tamaki I said, "You are horrible with a camera." Luckily he didn't go into a corner since he knew I was only kidding because of the huge grin on my face.

"Well let me try again then," Tamaki said.

"Do you promise not to break it and to give it right back once we get to the soccer fields?"

Tamaki grinned. "I promise, Rikku."

I sighed. "Fine. Go nuts." I reluctantly held out my camera for him. Tamaki's smile widened and he snatched the camera from my hands. Immediately he took more photos of Kyoya and me before running off down the hall.

"That was a very bold move," Kyoya stated, glancing down at me out of the corner of his eye.

I shrugged and let out a small chuckle. "If Tamaki-senpai does indeed accidentally break my camera I will just force him to apologize to my family and me plus buy me an even better camera. Unfortunately I was never one to go and pity the poor fool. Instead I always found more fun in torturing them, almost like a small game. It usually helps point out who is smart and who isn't since only the idiots tend to fall into the trap I set."

Kyoya sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "So you just proved that Tamaki is indeed a…."

"A moron? Absolutely. But you already knew that, didn't you, Kyoya-senpai?" I smirked up at him. Kyoya just sighed again and began to lead the way down the hall. I happily followed after him.
