I absolutely love this episode. Perhaps it's because it shows a girl that's not afraid of anything like bugs or snakes, but something less. OR, it could be the KyoyaxHaruhi seen that made my heart flutter. We shall never know...YOSH! Let's start!
"The beach?" The twins popped up beside Haruhi and I. I blinked before sighing and putting Haruhi's tea down. I didn't want to get involved this time.
"That's right, the beach!"
"You said you'd go to the beach!"
"Eh? Did I?" Haruhi asked as I turned around and crept towards the kitchen door.
"Yuri-chan!" I jumped and turned to them nervously.
"I...I'll make you a basket full of sweets; enjoy your time there." I started running, but Mori and Honey stood in front of the door.
"Yuri-chan! You have to go!" Honey said sweetly. I stepped back, covering my face.
"You know what happened last time! I got sun burnt! I can't go!" We stopped when we heard a helicopter. The window glass broke and I saw Ira, standing on the helicopter. I gaked at her as she smiled.
"Don't worry, Yuri-chama!" She called. "I got you new sun block that can protect your skin! I would never allow you to miss such a romantic trip!" I sighed, turning red and covering my face again.
"I-Ira-san...just tell me things like this when I'm home..." I said. The twins grabbed me in their arms, though, and swung me over to the bathing suits they'd brought. I felt my blood run cold. "No...not this again!"
"Oh, and that window's going on your debt." Kyoya added.
"Why did we have to go to Okinawa?" The twins asked Tamaki, who had also wanted to go. I was looking this way and that, gaking at everything.
"Kyoya's family owns a private beach here." I stopped looking everywhere, hearing this, and ran up to Kyoya.
"Do you really?" I asked, stepping up close. He looked up from his board, nodding. I swirled happily. "Ah! That's so great! You're so great, Kyoya-san!" The twins leaned on each other and asked why it mattered so much. I turned and spit at them playfully. "Because, I haven't been here since I was a child!" Honey linked our hands.
"It's a beautiful place, ne?" I nodded and Mori agreed as well. I rested my hands on my cheeks.
"I hope my husband has a private beach here..." I said. Kyoya and Kaoru looked up to me before I bashfully started swaying. "Oh! What am I saying? You two, don't look at me like that!" I said giggling(back then, I was completely oblivious).
"Anyway," The twins said, "Why couldn't we have gone to the Carribean, or Fiji?" I stopped swaying and waved my hand.
"Why go there when we have this beautiful place?" I asked.
"And do you think Haruhi has a passport?" The twins nodded, understanding, and I narrowed my eyes. They were such good listeners, weren't they? Honey started running towards the beach and I joined him. Mori jogged behind us as we raced down.
"Some vacation..." I said, sighing. I laid under the umbrella with Kyoya as the other host club members played with their fans. I looked over to Kyoya and saw him writing stuff down. I sighed again before leaning over. "Ne, Kyoya-san..."
"What is it, Yuri-chan?" I leaned over more before snatching the clip board. He leaned up to get it back, but I smiled.
"Take a break, will you?" He stared at me as I sat there, leaning over the table with his clip board. I blinked before sitting back down in my chair. "Don't tell me...you don't know how?!" I said, jumping to conclusions. He was speechless. I didn't know why, though, so I assumed he meant he didn't. I stood up, grabbing his hand and pulling him up.
"Where are we going, Yuri-chan?" I smiled and started running towards the sea shore stores.
"Shopping!" I said with a smiled, still pulling him. "I'm sure you'll have fun!" I said. He stared at me quietly as I pulled him away. We past Haruhi, and I stopped. "Haruhi-chan, we're going shopping for a little! Do you want anything?" She blinked, turning around and thinking. "How about some sweets?" I asked, seeing that she did like food. Her eyes squinted in delight as she nodded. I smiled and nodded before turning to the twins who were near by. "Kaoru-san! Hikaru-san!" I called. They stopped and walked over.
"Yo, Yuri-chan! Wanna play volley ball? We've got room; the girls just keep on coming." Kaoru said with a grin. I laughed but shook my head.
"It's okay, Kyoya-san and I are going shopping." Kaoru blinked before switching a look with Hikaru. "Do you guys want anything?" Kaoru turned and said he didn't want anything from me, and I puffed my cheeks out. "Fine!" I yelled. "Come on, Kyoya-san! I'll let you take a real break!" I said, grabbing his hand again and leading him up. Kaoru stood there, still turned away from us. "What was up with him?" I asked, apparently loud enough for him to hear. "I didn't do anything wrong...I hope he feels better later." His shoulders relaxed before he turned to look at me again. But I was gone.
"Ne, Kyoya-san, what do you like?" I asked as we got drinks. He looked at the menu quietly before deciding on a fruit punch drink. I smiled and turned to order. "I think I'll have...the same!" I decided. I pulled my wallet out, but Kyoya paid first. "Kyoya-san?" I asked. He fixed his glasses, looking away.
"I'll pay."
"But..."
"It's okay." I blinked again before smiling.
"Well, in that case, thank you!" We grabbed our drinks and walked in to the next store. "Aw! These are so cute!" I said, noticing a cell phone holder with dolphins on it. I swooned over it and turned to Kyoya. "What do you think? Is it cute?" I asked, tilting my head. He stared at me, rather than the case. I blinked and blushed a little. "Is there...something on my face?" I asked, wiping my mouth. He blinked and started to laugh. And when I mean laugh, I meant laugh. Not the fake laugh he always put on. A real, solid laugh. I stared at him with a smile until he stopped.
"What are you staring at, now?" He asked. I shook my head a little.
"That's the first time you've ever really laughed in front of me..." I clasped my hands together and laughed. "I'm so happy!" He took the case from me and turned to the counter.
"We'll take this." I pulled on his shirt and said he shouldn't pay for everything. "Shut up or it'll go on your debt." I let go of his shirt and stood beside him quietly before giggling.
Now I understand...Kyoya is bad with words when he's trying to be nice... He dangled the phone case in front of me and I reached for it happily; but he pulled it up. He lowered it again, and I smiled again, but he pulled it up again. I take it back...he's just mean. I started jumping and he laughed.
"I never realized how short you really were." He said. I growled and ended up kicking his knee. He bent down and gripped it; groaning quietly. I glared until I noticed he could really be hurt. I bent down, touching his shoulder lightly.
"Oh Kyoya-san, I'm sorry! Did that really hurt?" He looked up to snap at me, but when he saw my worried expression, he stopped.
"What...what's with that face?" He asked. I looked up at him and leaned in closer.
"What do you mean? I'm worried, Kyoya-san! I didn't want to hurt you! You're so big, I thought it wouldn't hurt!" I said before looking back down. I knocked his hands off of his legs and gently touched his knee. He flinched at my touch and I asked if it hurt. He shook his head.
"It's just...never mind..." He said quietly before standing up. I looked up, asking if he was okay. He nodded before holding his hand out to me. "Let's head back." I blinked before smiling and taking his hand. As we walked back, I remembered that I was supposed to get Haruhi sweets. I stopped and looked around nervously.
"Kyoya-san! Kyoya-san!" He looked down at me and I started jogging in place. "Where's the place with sweets? I wanted to get some for Haruhi-chan!" I said. He sighed, and started walking in to a crowd. "Ah, Kyoya-san! Wait!" I called. He stopped and grabbed my hand, bringing me close. I looked up at him as he looked ahead.
"Don't get separated, just hang on." He said with a sigh. I smiled, moving my hands up to his mid arm and gripping tight.
"Okay!" We walked through the crowd and found the candy shop. I dove in, buying one of everything. I smiled as Kyoya held it all. "Is it really okay, Kyoya-san?" I asked. He nodded and I grabbed on to his arm. "Well then, let's do this, just in case." I said with a smile. I could have sworn, for a split moment, he blushed. But it must have been my imagenation...he'd never blush. We made our way back to find everyone trying to scare Haruhi. I blinked as we went down the steps. "What's going on, everyone?" I asked. A group of girls looked our way and started to crowd around us. I blinked.
"Oh my! You two are just darling together!"
"Look! She's already grabbing his arm!"
"And he's carring all of her bags!" They screamed in unison, catching the other's attention. Kyoya had a raised eye brow, while I blinked, trying to get what they were saying. Kaoru saw us, and he looked at me with narrowed eyes. They walked up and I smiled.
"Kaoru-san! Hikaru-san! Look! We got sweets for everybody!" I called out. They stared in silence and I blinked.
"We don't want any." I blinked, and asked why. "Because you picked it out." I lowered my eyebrows and looked at them sadly.
"But...you eat my snacks all the time..."
"So? That doesn't mean we liked them." Kaoru said. Hikaru was quiet, and staring just as surprised. I looked away from them before stepping down with Kyoya. He suddenly fell, though, and all the bags fell with him. I fell to the ground and asked if he was alright. I saw Kaoru pulling his leg in and they grinned at each other. I stood up before slapping Kaoru. The girls screamed in shock and I growled.
"How could you do that, Kaoru-san?!" I yelled. "That's so mean! I can't believe you'd do that to your own friend! You're a cold hearted person! Insult me all you want, but never, never," He looked at me with wide eyes as I looked back at Kyoya, who was grunting as he sat up. "Never take it out on friends!" I yelled. I turned back to him, calling him an idiot, and then ran over to Kyoya. "Kyoya-san, are you alright?" I asked as girls helped gather the candies. I thanked them and helped Kyoya stand up. "Let's go sit you down, Kyoya-san. I'll get ice." I walked past the twins in silence, the girls whispering as they carried the sweets behind.
"Are you alright now, Kyoya-san?" He nodded quietly and I smiled. "That's good." I said. I stood up and said I'd be right back. The girls had been telling me how the view on the tallest rock was pretty. I ran over, seeing them, and met up with Haruhi. I waved and started to climb up faster than she did. I got there a couple of minutes before she did. The four of us looked at the over view, feeling the breeze.
"Oh! There are some chicks over here!"
"Lucky!" We turned to see two drunk guys limping over. We backed up a little. "Hey pretties, let's go have some fun!" One said. He walked up close and grabbed one of the girl's hands. "It's not fun being by yourse--"
"Let her go!" I yelled, pushing him away. "This is a private beach!" I yelled. The girl turned to and ran behind me, curling up with the other three. "Leave us alone!" The other guy gripped the three girls in a big hug.
"What's that supposed to mean? Are you rich girls or something?" The guy in front of my grabbed my shoulders.
"Come on, babe!" Sea shells and sea urchins suddenly flew on to his back. He jumped off me and wiped them quickly. I looked over to see Haruhi.
"H-Haruhi-chan!" I called.
"Get lost already. can't you see they don't like your come ons?" She asked. "They're saying it's annoying." They glared at Haruhi, and called her a kid. One of the girls escaped, and the guy that was with me started to pick on Haruhi. I ran up, pushing him in the back, and caused him to fall. I growled, yelling at him not to touch Haruhi. He pushed me to the ground, though, and I struggled to get up. He pushed Haruhi to the edge and I stood up again.
"You've got skinny arms." The guy said. "Little kids like you should just bathe..." I jumped on the guy, pulling his hair.
"Don't hurt Haruhi!" I yelled in anger.
"Haruhi!" Tamaki yelled, running up. I looked back, and got knocked off of him. He pushed Haruhi in to the sea and I screamed before getting jumped by the other guy. Tamaki had jumped in after her, so I was alone.
"He he, I won't let you go. You're a trouble maker." He said, grinning down. I tried to push him off, but he wasn't as drunk as the other guy. He slapped my face hard, and I froze for a moment. "Be good, girl." I struggled, telling him to get off me.
"Now, let's go babe," The other one said, coming up. I screamed before the one behind me got hit in the face. I looked up through tears to see Hikaru.
"Hikaru-san..." Some one else kicked the guy holding me off. "K-Kaoru-san.." He growled at the guys and looked down at me.
"What were you thinking?! You're the real idiot!" He yelled. I looked up at him befor my eyes squinted, pushing out tears.
"Kaoru-san!" I cried, jumping in to his arms. He blinked at his brother before staring at me. "Kaoru-san! I was...I was..." I burst in to more tears before his arms enveloped me.
"Now, now, calm down." He said, grinning down at me. I looked up, blinking out a few more tears. "They can't get you now." I looked up to the guys to see them knocked out. I stared up at Kaoru in silence before leaning my head on his chest.
"Thank you, Kaoru-san." Hikaru started to snicker at us, but I blushed and said we had more important things to worry about. We ran down, and looked out to sea to see if Tamaki had gotten Haruhi. Kyoya came up soon, as did Honey and Mori. We waited their nervously before I looked up to see Tamaki coming out of the sea with Haruhi in his arms. "Haruhi-chan!" I yelled out, running up with the shirt Kyoya had for her. "Are you alright, Haruhi-chan?" She nodded, and asked about the guys.
"We got their IDs and asked them to leave." Kyoya said. "The girls have returned to their hotel. I've called a doctor, so one should be here soon." Haruhi and I both smiled at each other, glad that the other was okay; and said we didn't need any. Tamaki started talking.
"Are you one of those?" We blinked, turning to him. "Are you actually a martial artist like Honey-sempai is?" He gripped Haruhi's shoulder, and looked at me as well. "What makes you think two girls could handle those guys alone?" I glared, like Haruhi did, at Tamaki.
"This has nothing to do with being a guy or a girl. At that point and time, I didn't have time to think--"
"Think about it a little, idiot!" Tamaki yelled. He yelled and called Haruhi an idiot. I wasn't happy any more. Today had been a disaster. "You're both girls!" I glared up at him.
"Tamaki-san!" I yelled. "We've done nothing wrong!" He turned to me with an angry look, but I gave him the same. "You're saying we should have stood there while they tried to kidnap us? There wasn't any time to think 'a little'!" Haruhi nodded, looking back up.
"I'll apologize for causing trouble," she said, "but I don't see any other reason I should apologize for. We've done nothing wrong!" Tamaki stared at Haruhi for a moment before letting her go.
"Is that so? Fine then, do what ever you want...I won't talk to either of you until you admit you were wrong!" I glared after him.
"Well say good bye, Tamaki-sempai! I'll never talk to you again!" I yelled. "We've done nothing wrong..." I whispered, going towards the shops again. Even though I was still angry, it hurt to know Tamaki and I wouldn't speak again...
"Tada! The crab is cooked!" I smiled lightly as I stepped out of the kitchen with Honey and Mori, wiping my hands on my apron. Kyoya walked up and apologized for making us cook. I said it was nothing, and that I loved it.
"I got to learn how to cook fresh crab! I'm so excited!" I said, my eyes gleaming. Honey said he didn't mind either, and he asked Mori to get Haruhi. He nodded, but I offered to go. I ran to get her and knocked on her door. She opened it and I gasped. "Haruhi-chan...you're so cute!" I said, looking at her all around. She wore a pink, frilly topped dresss and I couldn't get over it. I looked at my limp dress, and asked if I could go change. She nodded, and as I changed, I asked her if she thought Tamaki could stand not talking to her in that dress. She sighed, slightly aggrivated.
"I don't really care what he thinks right now." She said. I stepped out of the bathroom with a smile and tight blue dress. It was limp on my shoulders, but tight on my chest and hips. It lossened at my knees and turned in to frills.
"Is this too much?" I asked. She nodded. I sighed, going back in and talking more. "Is that what you think?" I asked. She asked why I wondered, and I giggled sadly. "It'll be hard not talking to daddy." I said. "He's given me such a fatherly influence, I actually have that father-daughter thing set in my mind." We were silent before I came back out with a red dress that was tight on my chest, but loose from my stomach down. I pulled the long sleeves down, able to show off my (not sun burnt!) shoulders. She nodded, saying it looked fine. We walked to the dinning room and they looked up. I held Haruhi by her shoulders and winked. "What do you think, you guys? Isn't she adorable?!" I asked. The twins asked if they were her clothes, and she explained how her father had repacked her bag.
"He always wants me to wear these kinds of clothes..." She said, sighing. The twins complemented her dad, and I looked over, noticing Tamaki struggling not to say anything. I hit Haruhi's arm with my elbow, and pointed over to him. I grinned and started complementing her more.
"I bet a bunch of guys would just go chasing after you, Haruhi-chan!" After another two or three loud complements, we sat down for dinner. Tamaki was about to break open, his cheeks swirling with eagerness. "I think Tamaki-sempai wants to say something..." I said, looking at my nails. Haruhi sat beside Tamaki. He flinched and looked away. She had narrowed eyes and didn't acknowledge him. The twins said it was tense and ackward out loud, and Honey told Haruhi to eat.
"The crabs we got today should be delicious!" She cracked one open, and opened her mouth just as wide. I, too, started to eat, and everyone looked back and forward between Haruhi and I.
"These really are good, aren't they Yuri-chan?" She asked. I nodded, cracking another one.
"They sure are." I turned to Kaoru, and asked if he was going to eat or just sit there. Tamaki started to speak, though.
"Don't you think you're eating too much?" He whispered to Haruhi. I leaned my elbow on the table and stared.
"I thought you weren't talking to me anymore?"
"That's right, Tamaki-sempai. Weren't you going to wait until we said we were wrong?" I asked with a scowl. He said it wasn't cute, but Haruhi just looked over to him.
"Alright, I get it. You're not going to reflect apon what you did." I looked up, hoping he would forgive us, but he said he'd had enough: he was going to sleep. "Kyoya, take me to my room." I looked to my left to see Kyoya stand up.
"Alright." He said. I told him to come back and eat the sweets later. After they left, Haruhi stopped eating.
"Maybe I should learn karate or something..." I stopped eating as well, and sighed sadly. The twins leaned on their elbows, looking from me to Haruhi.
"What? So that's still on your mind?"
"Yet that's your train of thought?" Hikaru asked.
"We won't stop either of you from learing or anything..." Kaoru said, looking at me.
"But that's the issue here..." I looked up sadly, and Haruhi blinked before looking up as well.
"Frankly, I want you to reflex apon your acts as well." Haruhi and I asked why at the same time.
"I didn't give you any trouble." I couldn't say the same, unfortunately. They sighed, and shrugged to each other.
"That's wrong, Haru-chan." Honey said.
Oh no...not Honey-chan too... I thought.
"Say sorry to everyone," he turned to me, "ne?" I felt a jab in my heart. I couldn't take it. He turned back to Haruhi. "You should apologize to Tamaki for making him worry, too." Haruhi blinked.
"You were...all worried about us?" Haruhi asked slowly. I sighed.
"Haruhi-chan..." She looked at me. I dabbed my face with my napkin before smiling. "friends aren't friends for nothing. They love, they cry; they worry." I stood up and apologized to everyone. I turned to Haruhi. "Your turn, Haruhi-chan." She looked down.
"Sorry, everyone..." Everyone jumped on Haruhi and called her cute. I giggled before Haruhi made a face.
"Haruhi-chan, what's wrong?" I asked in worry, walking up. She said her stomach hurt, and Haruhi said it was because she at too much crab.
"Haru-chan, hold on!" Honey said. I led her to the nearest door and opened it. She ran in to the bathroom and I stood outside the door. She was taking a while, so I got worried. I peaked in and saw a man. I gasped a little when I realized it was Kyoya with out his glasses. I giggled, knowing he looked good without them. Haruhi apologized for making him worry, and he stood up.
"I wasn't worried, but it took a while to get Kaoru and Hikaru off those pimps. It was quite troublesome." Haruhi sighed to herself before he went on. "And all the girls who came to have fun...I had to make apology bouquets for them."
"I'll pay for those flowers." Haruhi said. Kyoya made his way over to the other side of the room.
"It's 50,000 yen for each bouquet per person: in total, it'll be 600,000 yen." He said. Suddenly, the lights went off. I squinted my eyes, trying to see.
"Why did you turn the lights off?" Haruhi asked.
"You could pay those flowers off with your body too." He pulled her over to the bed and was on top of her. I leaned out of the room and started to jumped up and down, turning red.
"What should I do? What should I do?" I asked myself in a whisper. I decided to creep in to the room and lean on the corner.
"You should change your 'being a guy or girl doesn't matter' naivete of yours." Kyoya said. "It's your fault for being so defensless." I gripped my dress as I continued to listen. It was silent for a moment.
"You wouldn't do that, Sempai." I blinked and leaned forward. "...because...you wouldn't get any merits from sleeping with me." I wanted to laugh so hard, then. You have no idea. But he sat up and I sank back.
"Indeed." He said. I felt relief fall over me. But it wasn't because of Haruhi not being raped (though that was great news), it was because Kyoya didn't want to rape her. "You really are an interesting person." He said. I decided it was time for me to exit.
"But now I understand...you're an unexpecdedly nice person, Kyoya-sempai." I froze at that, and started to smile. "You did that to follow up for Tamaki-sempai, didn't you?" I stepped out of the room with a giggle, and turned to see Tamaki. I started to freak out, worried that he'd get the wrong picture. I ran up to him and started bowing down.
"T-Tamaki-san!" I said quickly. He blinked, looking down at me. "I...I'm so sorry! I was so wrong! Please forgive me!" I said, raising my hands and bowing my head. He blinked and smiled, patting my head.
"Okay, okay. I forgive my princess! Now if only the other one..." He said, sighing before knocking on Kyoya's door. I yelled after him but it was too late. He walked in, asking for lotion, and stopped. I guess he saw it. I leaned on the side wall as Tamaki grew angry. "Kyoya...you..." But Kyoya inturupted him and shoved lotion in his face.
"Here, use it however you like, idiot." He said before walking out. I smiled, looking over to see him come out. "Merits...huh?" He asked himself, not seeing me.
"Kyoya-san." He stopped, and turned to me quietly.
"How long were you there?"
"Long enough." He put his shirt back on and I giggled. When he asked why I was giggling, I smiled and said: "You really are a nice guy, Kyoya-san." He shrugged and walked away. I giggled again before running after him. "Oi! Wait up! You said you'd eat candy with me!"
"I never said that."
"You're heading towards the dinning room anyway!" I said. He sighed before waiting for me. I smiled again. "I'm glad you didn't do anything to her, Kyoya-san." He stared at me before I held my upper arm. "I was about to hit you with a vase!" He sighed, and continued walking. "I-I was just joking!" We met up with the others who were still conversating, and I smiled as I walked in. "Okay! Candy time!" I said happily. I looked at the twins before growling a little. Hikaru wrapped his arm around my shoulder and asked if he could have some. I nodded sweetly to him, but when Kaoru dove in, I smacked his hand away. "You have to apologize."
"What for?" I growled, reminding him.
"We don't want any." I blinked, and asked why. "Because you picked it out." I lowered my eyebrows and looked at them sadly.
"But...you eat my snacks all the time..."
"So? That doesn't mean we liked them." Kaoru said.
"Oh...for that..." He rubbed the back of his head and looked towards Hikaru.
"You'd better just apologize." Hikaru said, stuffing his face. "This stuff is too good." Kaoru sighed.
"I thought we'd made up..." He said with a sigh.
"I had to apologize, now you." I said crossing my arms. He looked at me and sighed. He apologized and stood back up, grinning. I blinked. "What are you laughing at?"
"This is like the first time you came in to the host club..." I blinked before laughing. I poked Kaoru's face.
"I got you good back then!" I said with a smile. "No one can beat me at black mailing!" I said. Kyoya's glasses glowed as he stood behind me. I sweat dropped, turning. "I-I mean...fake black mailing, of course!" I said, laughing nervously. Hikaru changed the subject.
"Was it really okay to leave those two alone?" He asked. Kyoya had explained it eariler.
"This is Tamaki we're talking about, remember?" Kyoya said. We ended up walking back to Kyoya's room, just to be safe.
"My lord, we're coming in." Kaoru called. We opened the door to see Haruhi blind folded.
"See? If you cover your eyes you won't see the lightening. If you put in ear plugs, you can't even hear a thing!"
"Ah, I see!" Haruhi said. I turned red.
"What kind of sick game are you playing?" Hikaru asked. Tamaki turned, saying we had it all wrong.
"How bold, Tamaki-san..." I said.
"Be careful," Hikaru called from outside the car,
"Apparently, our lord has some SM fetishes." Kaoru finished. Tamaki started yelling that it wasn't like that, but Haruhi opposed that.
"I see; so that's SM?" She asked, rolling up the window. "He had me doing stuff I didn't even know..." While Tamaki was saying we were wrong, I sat beside Haruhi and smiled as Kyoya said to start driving.
"Ne, Haruhi-chan," She looked over to me as I smiled. "I'm sorry." She asked why I was apologizing as she looked out the window to Tamaki running behind us. "I think I made your situation earlier worse." She shook her hand, still not looking at me, and told me not to worry. She stuck her head back in and smiled.
"You can't go anywhere but up from here."
