Alright a new chapter now up, this one took a while and the next might too. I had to re do my computer since I suddenly obtained the shared computer (my brother and I shared this one) and now it is all to myself so I wanted to delete all the files and crap he put on it that I never used. Well bad decision, because for some odd reason the rebooting affected a few of my computer programs. Word does not save any of my documents, and my origin updates the same update every time I open it up, and my Sims 4 game that I spent 60 dollars on crashes my computer every time I try to download it -_-.

I will have to redo my computer AGAIN, and this time hopefully do it right. Until then I will have to type on my brother's computer which means I haven't been able to get on as often as I'd like. Especially when I have college in the mix. Don't worry though I am trying to get things done.

This was more of a filler chapter since I am realizing that I am actually nearing the end of the series which I forgot was so short. So now I am planning on how to wrap this all up -_- boo! i will figure it out though. anyway, I don't own anything obviously, and Enjoy though probably a more boring chapter since it is simply a filler.

"Wake up sleepy head." a kind soft voice erupted from the young female's barely conscious mind.

"Go away woman," A feral growl came from the other, in a very un lady like manner, but in her own home why should she care?

"Come on Sakura, you promised you would accompany me to the market." Haruhi pouted staring at the curled up pinkette with a bad case of bed head.

"You never said it would be this early," I mumbled from under the covers. 'Why would I want to get up early on my last few days before school starts all over again?"

hazy green eyes slowly peeked out of the covers to look at the already dressed cousin. "Come on Sakura, please?"

I sighed, I really hated getting up and to be honest I am still having mixed feelings about Haruhi. She's my cousin, one of the few family members I have left, practically my sister, but she is also the object of Kaoru's affections.

Which I grudgingly have to admit to myself now that he happens to be the object of MY affections, and I could be a very jealous girl sometimes.

As much as the jealous part of me wants to be mad at her though, I just can't. I'd feel like a complete jerk, and besides what can Haruhi help if Kaoru finds her more appealing?

"Alright, Alright. Let me get dressed, you dictator." Haruhi smiled at my surrender and left our shared room to finish getting ready herself.

I looked around my room no thoughts running through my mind besides how comfy my blankets seem to be this morning. I looked sadly at my bed in a way of saying "goodbye" to my warm comforting blankets before groaning and crawling my way out of my safe haven.

I took a shower last night so it made getting ready a bit easier than normal this morning. I quickly ran a brush through my hair so it wouldn't stick out every which way. I then brushed my teeth and put on deodorant and of course picking out a comfy but more acceptable outfit for public wear. dark blue Jeans, my favorite(well worn) black tennis shoes, a plain red thick strapped tank top and a black sleeveless jacket.

looking myself over in the mirror real quick I deemed myself as ready as I'll ever be, and started to meet up with my very patient cousin who was checking her purse, and wallet by the door. "Alright let's get this over with!" I said grabbing her hand and dragging her off out the door.

"He- Hey!" I heard my cousin shout in shock as I started at a fast paced walk towards the market.

Arriving at the mall I noticed something entirely heart stopping. They had an event going on meaning the market was much more crowded than usual... Just great! I glared at the throngs of people passing by us, already getting agitated by how often I was being shoved, and ran into.

"Sakura, please stop glaring at everything that simply moves. Your scaring the kids."

I grinned towards my oh so kind and innocent cousin with a unnerving smirk. "that's the point sweetheart."

It's not that I don't like kids, I just get really irritated in packed areas, and kids in these areas are usually loud, and wild.

She sighed in response and continued to look ahead of us only to suddenly stop. I looked where her gaze landed and my eye immediately started twitching.

"Kyoya-sempai?"

Said man froze ever so slightly and turned towards us, giving us a calculating look."I wasn't expecting to see you here." Haruhi said not seeming to notice the slightly odd way he was looking at us.

I was shamelessly pouting and didn't care that it might be obvious.

It isn't that I hated seeing Kyoya-Sempai, it's just that where Kyoya is more than likely the "dream team" is sure to follow, and I am NOT in the mood to deal with them all.

They already invaded most of my vacation and Karuizawa, It's awkward near Kaoru, and now that I only have today and tomorrow before we have to go back to school and seeing them every day, I was hoping for these two days to be my small break.

"How much money do you two have?"

I froze and stared blankly at the shadow king, How much money do we have?

This wasn't a planned trip was it. I should have guessed since there was no way that Kyoya of all people would be at a commoner's market, but without money completely verifies my assumption.

I looked in my wallet while Haruhi did the same, "Eh plenty enough on me for whatever you need I'm sure." I said not expecting anything really expensive.

One because he knew Haruhi wasn't rich like them, and even though he knows I have plenty of money, he knows I won't spend it carelessly. Besides he wouldn't want to borrow all that much anyway, it would hurt his pride, heck he probably is already low on pride considering he was here.

So Haruhi and I accompanied Kyoya to get some food, and to my shock he chose one of the cheapest fast food restaurants he could find. "Are you sure you want to eat here Kyoya-Sempai? there are a lot of other better places." Haruhi offered.

"Well we do have a limit on money, Just make sure you get a receipt Tamaki will reimburse you tenfold." He said coldly, bitterness making its way through his voice.

Tamaki must be the reason he's here, but if that was so why isn't here now, let alone the rest of the comical idiots?

"He's in a foul mood." Haruhi mumbled under her breath, I looked at her and then back at Kyoya who was slightly ahead of us. "Well, I'm sure there is a good reason of why he is so grumpy. Why else would he even be here?" I pointed out, she nodded in agreement before we were interrupted by Kyoya.

"Hey I think it's our turn, How do I order?" I grinned, and laughed a bit behind my hand.

Such a privileged guy like Kyoya sempai, smart, orderly, literally seems to know everything about everyone does not know how to order food at a fast food restaurant, just seemed really funny.

"Oh here, I will order for all of us, What would you like?"

"You pick, Just get a lot of it." He answered uninterested and slightly put down.

Haruhi did as she was told and I smiled, "So your human after all." I said quietly, Kyoya turned to look my way with a questioning glance, but I don't think he heard me clearly.

Probably a good thing, I wouldn't want him getting offended. I didn't say it to be rude, in fact I am kind of glad to see that he can have a big appetite. When I thought of Kyoya I thought of him as this really refined young man, who always dresses to the nines, and eats with utensils, and never eats more than enough food for a hamster.

The girl at the register blushed slightly before speaking to Kyoya, "Would you be interested in desert?" She asked a beaming smile on her features.

Poor girl already in his clutches.

'I wonder why?' I thought as I inspected his person. Kyoya was uninterested in nearly everything we do here, and other than looking disinterested he looked angry.

He barely talked, and when he does speak he sounds so…bored? plain?

either way as good looking as a man might be other than his good looks what attracts the girls to him? I can see why girls would like the other boys, even Tamaki! Naturally they are all fun, and even though Mori sempai doesn't talk, he still looks more approachable than Kyoya.

I am speaking even away from their club counter parts. I still don't know why girls would think gay twins was so hot, if they were interested in each other the girls would have no chance to woo them, and besides incest was DISGUSTING.

Away from the club though, they are still mischievous, fun, and entertaining. Tamaki seems to be the same inside and outside the club, but I can see some delusional girls finding an overdramatic princely guy attractive I guess.

Honey sempai acts like a little kid, but at the same time we all know he is the one of the oldest out of us all, and he is still very friendly. Mori sempai as said before doesn't speak, but he shows a protectiveness over Honey, and he is always kind.

Kyoya, he doesn't seem to display any of these characteristics. So why do the girls throw themselves at his mercy?

"No, I don't care much for sweets."

Well nothing wrong with disliking sweets, I am not much of a sweet lover myself but even the way he says it screams 'LEAVE ME ALONE!".

The girl only smiled bigger, "before you decide-"

"I have given you my answer." Kyoya was already irritated, and Haruhi and the other girl seemed to be intimidated completely by his tone.

Too be honest I rather like this Kyoya, he is more human when he isn't in the club. Despite not seeing why girls like him so much, I like that this side isn't fake like the one in the club.

The girl quickly put in our order and practically threw the prepared meals towards us trying to escape the king's icy gaze. "Poor girl, You terrified her." I joked as we sat at our table.

Haruhi was a bit more reprimanding about the situation. "Kyoya sempai just because you are in a bad mood doesn't mean you can go talking to people like that, the poor girl was just doing her job."

"her job is to serve us food, not irritate me with some weak sales pitch," With that said he took a large bite out of the burger, and I marveled at how he didn't even use silverware or even a napkin.

He IS human, who knew?!

"Now what?" He asked noticing that not only me, but Haruhi as well was staring at him eat.

"Nothing I never saw you eat before, I just thought the experience would be more refined." Haruhi said honestly. "I'm shocked this food even appeals to you."

"It doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, there is an understanding between the makers of food like this and those that eat it." He started pausing between bites. " Quality takes a back seat to convenience, refinement isn't part of the equation. It is meant to be eaten quickly, and besides no one of consequence is to see my momentary lapse of manners."

I sipped my drink while listening to his very true words. I couldn't help but think that this is still a nice change, even if he said we were no one of consequence.

I am glad I am not someone of consequence, we get to see what Kyoya is like when no one is looking.

"hey, I am saying that it doesn't d me any good to keep up appearances in a place like this, and that includes any special treatment I may give you here." He spat out twirling a fry in his hand.

I knew he was trying to explain why he wasn't going to be nice to us, but the sight of him fiddling with a fry made me grin.

"We already knew that Kyoya sempai. Besides I like it, it's nice to see you actually being… human." I spoke up, He looked at me but I couldn't tell what the look on his face meant. What he was thinking or feeling at this moment was completely hidden from me, but I wasn't too worried.

If he was upset he'd show it, as he said before, it would benefit him nothing to keep up appearances or be kind to us here.

I decided to pay attention to my chicken sandwich while Kyoya spoke about why the team was close together

Self interested and self gain.

Something about what he said didn't settle with me though, as if he was lying.

After our meal was finished, we ended up following Kyoya sempai throughout the mall, I thought he was just going to take a taxi home right away but I guess he wanted to look around a bit.

"So Kyoya why is it that after all this time I really know next to nothing about your family?" Haruhi asked not really looking up at the man in front of us.

"There is really nothing for you to know. At least nothing that should be of interest to you."

I felt my lip slightly jud out in a thoughtful yet slightly pouting manner. "That's kind of unfair."

He paused and looked over at the two of us and I as I looked up at him for Haruhi and I to explain to him Why we thought it was unfair, I realized that he much taller than I originally thought. How come I never noticed this before?

"Well when it comes to my personal life you even keep tabs on who my father's friends are,"

"And you even know very personal information about my family as well," I added in to Haruhi's rant.

Haruhi nodded, "yeah, and we have no clue about yours, so I call that un fair."

he finally looked truly interested in something, "That's a very intriguing notion in its own way."

"Don't you have brothers Kyoya?" I asked from the minimal knowledge we did have of him.

"For starters Why don't you tell us about them, what kind of people are they?"

Kyoya looked more distant now lost in thought before answering us, "They are rather exceptional, enough so that father put's a lot of stock on them."

The way he said father I could tell that he had a bit of a distant relationship with his the man.

"But as the third son, things work out a little differently for me."

I frowned, that was very un fair, just because he was born last means he has an insanely high mark to hit for his father's approval?

"I didn't realize there was so much pressure on you to succeed." Haruhi mumbled looking my way. As cousins and now as adopted siblings we never would have to worry about competing for affection or recognition. Even if we were real sisters and grew up together we wouldn't have to fight over it.

"Pressure? Oh no Haruhi I could think of nothing more fun than this."

Lie.

I gave him a slight unbelieving look, he was lying, I could tell. He was completely monotone when he does so. granted Kyoya is not an emotional person so it would be extremely hard to tell, but when he is truly interested in something, even slightly his voice shows a bit of that emotion, while as he lies or shows no interest what's so ever it is completely void of all emotion.

It's the same voice he used when talking about having something to gain from the club, or when he had to pick a meal.

We continued our little browse when we saw an older lady across the way talking to what I would consider a sketchy man selling some type of pots or bowls. Kyoya seemed to find interest in this as he stopped and watched their interaction carefully.

I couldn't hear what the lady and the man were saying from here but Kyoya seemed to hear every word.

He soon walked up to the sales man only to say that the bowls were fake.

I couldn't keep up with all the details but to be honest I was shocked he was able to spot such tiny flaws.

The man was soon taken away by two other gentlemen for trying to sell fake pottery at high prices, and Kyoya was being continuously thanked by that woman.

Haruhi mention how nice it was that Kyoya helped a complete stranger only to burst the "Kindness bubble" she started to work up for him.

the woman was married to a rich man in which Kyoya's family has dealings with, in other words he did it to gain face.

I wanted to say something before I thought back to when we paused for him to listen in on the conversation between the lady and the fraud. There was a giant banner in the way blocking the woman's hand from any of our views.

Liar!

"Haruhi, Sakura, did you know this?"Kyoya's voice busted my thought bubbles.

We both looked over at a distracted Kyoya holding a box of some type of snack food, "Is melon a preferred flavor among snack makers?"

We were completely confused before Kyoya went on to muse to himself. "It doesn't make sense, if the main ingredient is corn why go through the trouble of making it taste like melon? Seems counterintuitive."

Haruhi and I shared a look before trying to hide our giggles behind our hands. Kyoya didn't understand our amusement which only made it better.

'that's an intriguing notion in its own way" Haruhi chuckled out using his own words from earlier.

"Oh was I being funny?" He asked clearly not seeing what was so amusing.

"You just went on and on about how much Tamaki and you were so different, but in all honesty you are so much like Tamaki sempai it's uncanny." I said simply with a grin gracing my features.

"You think so?" he said with a small smile, before thinking how much Tamaki and the twins would fawn over the food.

He cared about them much more than he would like to admit, I just don't see why he can't admit it. I grinned and didn't even complain when I had to give him money to buy the snacks.

Once we grew tired we were finally about to catch Kyoya a taxi when an announcement went over the intercom distracting all of us.

By the description we couldn't help but notice that the "Kid" was our Kyoya sempai and that his guardian was Tamaki. the announcement only made matters worse than fixing them. People were staring at him and indirectly us for being with him.

Wondering if something was wrong with him to need to be called over the intercom at his age. It made us look like complete fools!

I smacked my faced in embarrassment for poor Kyoya until I was shocked by him losing his temper. We accompanied Kyoya to the counter both glaring at the group of idiots. Wouldn't you know they were all there.

"Kyoya! there you are we were so worried!" his excitement dwindled down when he spotted us to his side "Why is Haruhi and Sakura with you?"

Honey seemed to be extremely excited at our appearance though and immediately ran up to us not noticing our grave features.

"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Haru-cahn and Saku-chan have come to play with us!"

The twins then started to follow suit "Play, play, play, play!" they shouted in unison. All three of them dancing a weird little jig.

I frowned and crossed my arms "No way!"

The boys stared at us curiously as Haruhi finished our decline. "I'm sorry guys but we are exhausted." Haruhi spoke, her voice portraying exactly how she felt.

"It has been a LONG day for someone who didn't even want to get up this morning." I grumbled as well.

We were interrupted by a dogs bark to see a cute golden retriever dog licking Tamaki's face animatedly. Cute dog, but bad manners. Don't get me wrong I love animals, I just like them more well trained.

'How exactly am I like this moron?" Kyoya deadpanned looking at his friend with an irate glare.

Haruhi looked over at him with her big curious eyes.

"I know you want me to believe that the only reason you helped that lady earlier were for selfish ones, but that isn't the truth."

"you failed to realize that there was a flag in our line of sight, so there was no way of you seeing her ring." I added in. "I don't see why you act like such a bad guy, when being good just comes so naturally to you. Seems counter intuitive to me." Haruhi said walking off.

I stuck my hands in my pockets, "Yeah, But despite this rather tiring day it was good seeing you after you put down those walls Kyoya. You should do it more often." I added following my cousin out of the Market and back to my nice, safe home.

Halfway home I paused and gave Haruhi a distressed and angered look.

"What?" She asked when she spotted my face.

"Did we even get what we went to the market for in the first place?" I asked, realizing we were going home empty handed.

Haruhi groaned as well her head shooting back in distress before glaring back the way we came.

"Forget it! We can get it another day." She said continuing her walk home.

"Agreed!"

I am so sorry that this was so boring, hopefully the next one will be more enjoyable. I will try harder next time! Still read and Comment, during this chapter I will be honest I was wanting to change this to a Kyoya fanfic lol. I love Kyoya though I am not sure why, I just think I share many things in common with him so I think he is very enjoyable and is a stark contrast compared to the rest of the boys. He stands out and I like that. My second favorite is Mori for pretty much the same reason, He is relate-able and very different. Unfortunately I don't think my perception of Sakura is a perfect match for them, and If I did use them as the main boy I think I would use one of my OC, which I have been practicing on.
