DISCLAIMER: I DONT OWN ANYTHING!

Chapter 10: The Hunt Part One

How could this be happening?

Satsuki sat against the cold stone walls of the cave that sheltered her from the thundering rain outside. Her fingers hovered over her lips which was hot with heat. The other hand burned with pain.

What's going on?

At the mouth of the cave was nothing but shadows of trees, occasionally casted with lightning like it was a spooky thriller of a movie.

BOOOM!

Satsuki whimpered and immediately curled into a ball, huddling closer to the back of the cave. She wasn't the type to be scared of thunder, but after what she experienced, she couldn't help but be scared. It wasn't supposed to be anything bad, but it brought out memories that she had always wanted to suppress.

It wasn't his fault. No, not his. It was someone else and his message was clear from the moment they met again. He wanted her back.

oOo

Seven Hours Ago…

Honey-sempai ran towards his bag and pulled out a bottle of bug spray with a satisfied look. "This is it!"

Clutching it close like it was his stuffed bunny (which he left back at the hotel for safe keeping); he ran up towards his tall cousin and held it up to him with a pleading look. "Mori, can you spray this on me? I heard there were a lot of bugs,"

The tall boy nodded with a hint of softness in his eyes and bent down on his knees to help apply the chemical on the equally aged little boy's arms and legs as well as his face.

"Is that bug spray Honey-Sempai?"

The two of them looked up to see Satsuki walking up to them briskly with a slight fearful look in her eyes, "May I use some as well?"

Honey nodded, but cocked his head slightly, "Why do you look so panicked Sa-chan?"

Embarrassed, Satsuki stopped and clasped her hands behind her while avoiding their eyes, "Well you see…I'm…I'm kind of scared of bugs, especially the flying ones,"

"Butterflies too?" Honey's eyes began to tear up. He loved butterflies and to see that a friend of his was afraid of them made him sad.

Seeing his tears, Satsuki held up her hands and shook her head, "No, not butterflies! More like I'm afraid of mosquitoes and beetles that fly, but I'm not scared of lady bugs either,"

Her eyes then narrowed and she glared at a boy who stood quite a far way, "That bastard knows that I have a fear of flying insects, yet he decides to hold the next contest here,"

As if he had heard it, Sho looked up from his conversation with Hana and smirked at her, making her shiver in fright.

Haruhi walked up to her while fixing her hat, "I still can't believe we are in Brazil at the edge of the Amazon Rainforest,"

Yes.

The Host Club is in South America.

Near the biggest forest in the whole wide world.

And they are so not dreaming.

Everything from the ridiculously tall trees, to the exotic animals, to the numerous of bugs lay out in front of them.

Oh, including the heat.

"It's so hot!" complained Kaoru as he tried to fan himself off with a measly made paper fan.

Hikaru stood next to him underneath the shade of a looming tree while fighting the impulse to take off his shirt. The mosquitoes were another problem he didn't like.

"Hey Tamaki-sama, can you tell that guy to hurry it up? All of us are going to die of either malaria and yellow fever or heat stroke," he rushed him with a tired look.

The Prince sat atop a rock with a silvery digital camera in his hands and a goofy grin on his face, "Haruhi-chan looks so cute!"

"Well, he's a lost cause," Hikaru sighed in defeat and turned to Kyoya. "How about you Kyoya-sempai?"

The glasses boy was in deep thought when Hikaru directed at him, "Huh? Oh,"

He turned to Sho with a slightly threatening look, "I believe that we are ready for the next contest,"

Sho looked at the fatigued members with a sly smile, "That's good! I just finished picking out my members to participate in the scavenger hunt!"

'Yay! A scavenger hunt!" Honey jumped up and down in excitement, but not everyone shared his excitement.

"A scavenger hunt? In the middle of the forest?" Kaoru walked up to Sho with a dangerous pointing finger, "Are you trying to get rid of us?"

The boy chuckled, "No, no, it wouldn't be fun that way you see,"

"So everything is a game to you," Satsuki spoke with venom in her voice, but was cautious to speak from a ways off.

He smirked, "I guess it is,"

Suddenly one of his members ran up to him and handed a single sheet of paper then turn to Kyoya to give him the same.

"These are the items needed on a scavenger hunt. You may do whatever it takes to get these, but you will only have two days to do so," Hana explained the directions and everyone nodded silently.

As soon as she was finished, Haruhi strode up to Kyoya's side, "What does it say?"

"It says we need to catch ten piranhas from the Amazon River, gather a rare flower, gather water from a magical waterfall, catch five poison dart frogs and take five pictures of different animals,"

"A magic waterfall?" Satsuki crossed her arms in disbelief.

"Aren't dart frogs poisonous?" asked Kaoru.

"Well, it does say that they are poison dart frogs," smiled Honey.

"How are we going to get such things?" shouted Hikaru.

"I believe it will be better if we split up into groups of two," suggested Haruhi as she put a finger to her chin. "It will be faster and we won't get lost on our own,"

"OOO! I pick Haruhi!" Hikaru immediately ran towards the girl and clung to her arm.

Tamaki was pushed to the side and collapsed into depression, "No, my Haruhi…"

"Heyy! How about we pick straws?" asked Honey.

Satsuki shook her head, "We can't use straws because we can't write names as easy as sticks,"

Honey shook his head, "Oops, my mistake! Then we need to use sticks!" and at that exact moment, Mori appeared by his side with a small bundle of sticks. Satsuki shook her head with a smile.

With her neat hand writing, Haruhi wrote down the names and handed the sticks to Hana, "Can you hold these for me as we pick?"

The girl nodded slowly, giving her a weird look, but continued to hold the sticks.

"Honey-sempai, how about you choosing first? You were the one who suggested it," stated Haruhi with a small smile.

The little boy nodded and ran over to Hana who had bent down slightly to his level. After a moment's hesitation, he picked out the straw from the middle and held it up in the air with a broad smile, "I got Mori!"

The silent boy nodded in satisfaction and everyone (except for the depressed prince) had on a smile that said 'we knew it'.

Suddenly Kaoru whispered something to Hikaru and the both of them nodded.

"How about you Tamaki-sama? You go pick out a stick and it may even say Haruhi's name!" taunted Hikaru with a sneer.

"Like that's ever going to happen," muttered Kaoru.

Immediately revived, Tamaki practically skipped over to the blushing Hana and put his hands together, "Please let me get Haruhi!" and with that he pulled out a stick from the side.

Everyone was silent with Satsuki staring intently for Haruhi's reaction after he calls out the name. The young prince just continued to stare at the small little stick with wide eyes that continued to go even wider.

"Sooo….Who did you get?" asked Satsuki.

With a sudden turn, Tamaki had tear filled eyes that showed complete joy, "I got Haruhi-chan!"

Kaoru fell to his knees and cursed while Hikaru stared at him angrily, "YOU HAD TO JINX IT!"

Satsuki whipped her head around to look at Haruhi who had nothing shown on her face; instead she turned to Hikaru, "It's your turn, Hikaru-kun,"

The twin nodded after calming himself and pulled out a stick in which he immediately snapped into pieces. Everyone one knew who it was immediately and Kaoru groaned in disgust.

"Why me?"

Suddenly his eyes widened and Kaoru turned his head at Satsuki then drifted his eyes at Kyoya, "If all of us have already picked our sticks then that means…!"

Getting what his brother was saying, Hikaru paled, "The Shadow King and Satsuki-chan as partners is not good,"

Sho stopped his conversation with a random girl and turned to look at a shocked Satsuki. He gritted his teeth in anger, "That cannot be,"

Kyoya, like Haruhi, didn't show any reaction and just pushed up with thin rimmed glasses, "Now that we have partners, we must pick out our duties,"

"Dibs on the piranhas!" shouted Honey as he climbed onto Mori's shoulder like a monkey.

"Alright then you inhuman robots," Kaoru shuddered at the thought of catching piranhas and thought that the two cousins were perfect for the job.

"Kaoru and I will look for the waterfall because that so far seems the safest," suggested Hikaru and his brother nodded in agreement.

"We will collect the dart frogs and get the pictures," stated Haruhi without even asking for Tamaki's opinion. It seems like she didn't like the choice for some reason.

"Then that means, Kyoya-sempai and I will get the rare flower," Satsuki nodded at the outcome and turned to Kyoya, "That should be good enough right?"

Kyoya turned to look at her with piercing eyes and nodded, "Might as well get this over with,"

"Then Tamaki-sempai and I will gather the frogs and the pictures," said Haruhi as she plucked the silver camera from the Prince's hands and delete all the pictures of her.

"No! Haruhi! Why did you do such a thing?" he cried out, but Haruhi's glare shut him up, "They were taking up too much room! Now go get the jars!"

Hikaru whistled, "Dang, Haruhi must be very angry at her pairing,"

Satsuki looked at her friend in shock, "I wonder what's happening to her?"

Hana gently picked up a large megaphone and held it up to her mouth, "Is everyone ready?"

After a few reluctant nods from the Host club, she raised up a gun and pointed it up to the sky. BANG! It signaled the start and everyone dashed into different directions.

It was the start of a nightmare…

Sooo...How was it? I have to say that it wasnt pretty good to me and Haruhi is so angry at me!
