i loved writing this chapter. it was so fun writing about her grandparents and Eddy and Tala and Tino! they r so cute those two lwittle twins!!! *pictures them in head* awwwww!!! cute! (lol sorry i love babies! they r so cute!) lol.

also, IMPORTANT FACT!!!!!! when pronouncing a name, it sounds really the same. I know this cuz i called my grandpa and asked him to say a sentance with the names "Hikaru, Kaoru, Tamaki, Haruhi, Kyoya, Hunny and Mori" in it and they all sounded the same as u would say it in English (in this case, Japanese. JUST WORK WITH ME HERE!) lol.

also, ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACT!!!!!!: this: lalala I'm wirting is thinking in this chapter, but this!: "hello i'm taylor and i like cake!" is them talking in Italian! got it?? (lol those r just random crap, dont worry thats not what they say n think in the story)

(and yes, i bolded the quotations so you would know the difference. It's not gonna b like that in this chapter)

also, just a fun fact that has nothing to do with the story (lol) i got my high school class list today!!!! :D yay!!! i know my classes and i effing get a locker this year!! YAY!!! and i got my creative writing class with my bff Kay!!! but sadly its the only class i have with her and none of my other friends got their list yet :( oh well, i guess i gotta wait till freshman orientation to find out. also, when i looked at my teachers names...i couldnt effing pronounce half of their names :( damn its gonna be a hard first day. oh well, the only thing i care about is that my creative writing teacher is nice! (and she is!) yay!!! :D

also, the reason i dont really write much about what goes on in the host club while the ppl are there, cuz i suck at it. xD haha, no matter how many times i watch the anime and read the manga, i CAN NOT write a good scene during the club. I'll only ever imply stuff. trust me, u dont wanna ask me to try cuz i will and i'll suck n u'll b sad. :'( lol. but seriously u will. so sorry but i wont b writing too many scenes of the hosts entertaining the girls (for Yumi guys)

ok ok, i'll stop talkin and u start reading!!! REVIEW ANDS TELL ME HOW MUCH U LOVE YUMI'S FAMILY!!! XDDD

i do not own Ouran High School Host Club. i only own Yumi and her family and the idea of this story.

Chapter Eleven: Hint of Jealousy

.

Yumi was sitting on her bed, checking her mail on her laptop. She was deleting anything that wasn't from her family and she was blasting her music from her Media Player.

"'Dear Yumi, here are some pictures of the twins in case you've forgotten what they look like! Love Grandma!'" Yumi read robotically as she scrolled down and looked at the millions of pictures of her siblings that were taken at least two days ago.

"Why would you're grandma worry if you forgot what they look like when you've only been here about a week?" Haruhi asked stepping into the room.

Yumi grinned, "Ah, you heard me, huh? Well, my grandma is so worrisome. She could win an award for worrying if their was one. She just wants me to remember my family and she thinks if I see pictures of them then I'll come home faster." she explained, clicking the "extract" button on the message and saving the pictures to a file on her lap top.

"Aww," Haruhi cooed, glancing at the screen to see the twins. Yumi smiled, "Yup! Tino looks like daddy and Tala looks like mama! Heartbreakers they're gonna be! I know it!" she grinned.

"Can they speak Japanese like you?" Haruhi asked, taking a seat on her bed. Yumi shook her head, "Not yet. But I taught Eddy a few years ago, only he's got a really strong and thick accent and my dad taught my grandparents when we went to live in Italy. I plan to teach the twins Japanese in a few years when I'm done with school and they start getting into their Japanese roots." Yumi explained, pulling up other pictures.

"Look, those two are my parents," Yumi said happily, turning her laptop and showing the screen to Haruhi. Her parents were sitting at a small table, her mom in a pink sundress and her hair longer in that picture. Her father in a white t-shirt and jeans, sunglasses sitting on top of his head.

"When was that taken?" Haruhi asked. Yumi glanced at the picture, "A few weeks before my mom found out she was pregnant with the twins. She cut her hair into a bob cut a few weeks before having them too. She didn't want her long hair bothering her in the delivery room. To tell you the truth, she looks much cuter in the bob cut!" Yumi laughed.

Haruhi chuckled and Yumi pulled up another picture of her mom, this time her mother sporting a bob cut and holding a little baby, and Yumi next to her holding another baby.

"Those are the twins?" Haruhi asked. Yumi nodded, "That's two days after my mom had them. I have another picture Eddy took with my Polaroid camera but that's in one of my books somewhere. Oh yeah! Eddy!" Yumi explained, and then pulled up another picture.

She turned the laptop to Haruhi again and showed her a picture of a spiky haired boy, his hair color dirty blonde and he was wearing a striped button down shirt with a white tank top under it and khaki shorts.

"That's Eddy?"

Yumi nodded, "His full name is Edward Esposito, but he told me he prefers Eddy. He's five years older then us."

Haruhi nodded and continued to stare at the pictures Yumi showed her. "Ha! Those are my grandparents!" Yumi laughed.

She pulled up another picture and showed Haruhi a woman with slightly gray hair, average size, wearing an apron, jeans and a t-shirt. The woman was also covering her face with her hands and hiding behind her husband, who was balding, and in khaki pants and a green t-shirt.

"My grandma sometimes gets camera shy," Yumi explained to Haruhi. "Sometimes?" Haruhi asked, as picture after picture of her grandmother showed her covering her face. Yumi laughed, "Okay, she's really camera shy!"

Yumi continued to show Haruhi the pictures, then she placed her laptop down and stood up, "That's enough pictures. Let's start on dinner! I'm hungry!"

Haruhi chuckled and nodded and the two girls walked out of the room together.

.

The Next Day, Ouran Host Club

.

That day Yumi wanted to dress out of uniform. She wore a black and white plaid skirt and a black and white side-tie t-shirt with sliver glitter Low Top converse and her hair down with a checkered black and white headband.

Yumi was pouring some tea into the cups of her customers. "How much cream and sugar would you like?" she smiled at the senior sitting next to her.

He blushed and held up two fingers. Yumi smiled, "Really? That's like me, too!" she said happily. She looked down at the tray on the table, "Oh shoot! We're out of sugar here," she mumbled, a pout on her face.

"T-That's okay! Cream is just as good!" he told her quickly. Yumi shook her head and stood up, "No, no! You wanted sugar! I'll just go borrow some! Be right back boys!" she smiled happily at her customers as she walked off to another group.

I'm not borrowing from Tamaki. Who knows what he'll do. He could attack me with hugs and I don't want anyone to hear him call me "daughter". Yumi thought miserably as she eyed Tamaki's group.

She decided to go to the closest group, which happen to be Hikaru and Kaoru.

She walked up to them just in time to hear the girls squeal and see Hikaru holding Koaru and staring into his eyes lovingly.

Yumi cringed, "How can you girls think that is "brotherly love"?" she asked them, walking up to the coffee table and scanning it for the sugar.

"What are you doing here, De Luca-San?" one girl asked. Yumi pointed to the sugar she finally found, "I gotta borrow some sugar. I'll bring it back in a minute," she told them, picking up the cup of sugar.

Hikaru and Kaoru didn't even get a chance to protest or pick a fight, because Yumi quickly walked back to her customers.

"Wow, she's become a real hostess, huh?" one girl mumbled, staring at the group. "She's a natural." another girl mumbled.

Hikaru and Kaoru both nodded, "She probably uses the same stuff the boys in Italy used on her," the said simultaneously. Their customers looked at them, "Huh?" the girls said in unison.

Hikaru and Kaoru brushed it off, "Nothing, nothing, princesses," they told them coolly.

Yumi took a seat back on the sofa and started to take a teaspoon and put it in the cups of tea.

"Oh, could you excuse me for a moment?" Yumi asked when her cell phone went off in her skirt pocket. The boys nodded and Yumi stood up and walked over to the other side of the room and stood by the window facing the front of the school.

She flipped open her phone, "Eddy?"

"You rang?" he asked chuckling. "Where are you?" Yumi asked scanning the front of the school.

"We just walked into the school. Where is this host club? The twins are dying to see you!" he asked.

Yumi sighed, "I told you, you can't come while the customers are here!"

"You never told me that!"

"Well I'm telling you now!" she shot back.

"When are they leaving, then?!" he asked her, annoyance in his voice. Yumi looked around the room until she found the clock, "In about five minutes!" she told him quickly.

"So we can come up now?" he asked her. Yumi sighed, "No! Ask the lady at the front desk in the office for a map to the 3rd music room and at four thirty when all the customers leave that's when you come in!" she explained.

"All of us?" he asked. Yumi sighed again, "NO! Just you! You knock, slowly come in and ask for me, when you see me, pause and act all shocked or something-"

"Why am I doing this again?" he interrupted her. Yumi sighed, "Because! I wanna show these two guys in the club what sibling PDA looks like! Since they can't see what they're doing with their own eyes,"

"Ooooh! You want us to act all lovey dovey?" he asked. Yumi nodded, "Yeah. Like, really close! Super close! Closer then close, if that's possible!" she explained.

Eddy laughed, "Damn, I wish I had a video camera! This'll be funny!"

Yumi chuckled, "Yeah, yeah. Just remember, you come in first, and tell everyone to wait outside the door until I get them, got it?" she asked.

"Yeah, yeah!" Eddy said boredly, and then laughed, "Damn, I don't know if I'll be able to keep a straight face!"

Yumi rolled her eyes, "You're gonna have to! Now shut up and see you in a few!" she said quickly into the phone.

"You shut up!" he shot back. "Fine I will!" she told him matter-of-factly, before flipping her phone closed.

She grinned down at the little gray cell phone and slid it back into her pocket. She walked back over to her customers and smiled at them, "Sorry. Family matters," she told them taking her seat.

"I hope everything is okay," one boy told her. Yumi nodded, "Yes, everything is fine. I just needed to talk to them about me staying next year. I would really like to stay longer so I can get to know all of you more," she grinned.

A lot of the boys blushed and told her things along the lines of "yes you should stay" or "I'd like to get to know you too," and other whatnot.

Finally, the club had come to an end and everyone stood up and proceeded to leave.

"I hope to see you boys tomorrow!" Yumi called happily. The boys smiled at her and waved goodbye as they walked out of the doors.

"Today was a good day. Full room," Yumi smiled happily. Haruhi nodded, "You had eight customers today. You're really popular,"

Yumi nodded, "It's all in the smile! If you can get a guy to blush because of one smile, then they're hooked to you! My mom taught me that! That's how she got my dad," she laughed.

"Yumi, you never returned our sugar," Hikaru and Kaoru whined to her. Yumi stuck out her tongue to them, "Well excuse me for not wanting to leave my guests a third time!"

"Oh yeah! Were you talking with family Yumi-Chan?" Hunny asked her from the table he was sitting at, of course, eating more cake.

Yumi nodded, "Yeah, I was." she said, walking over to where she was sitting before and grabbing the sugar off the table and bring it back to Hikaru and Kaoru's spot.

Knock, knock

Yumi grinned as she quickly turned around and looked at the door as it creaked open. Everyone in the club stopped and stared at the door, wondering who it could be now that the club was over.

A tall boy slowly walked into the club room. His hair was dirty blonde and spiky. He was wearing baggy jeans and a white t-shirt with red sleeves and a chain and cross around his neck and black sunglasses covering his eyes.

"Um, excuse me? I'm looking for a Yumi De Luca?" he asked, removing his sunglasses. Everyone in the host club could hear his thick accent when he spoke.

Yumi, who was unnoticed by the other hosts, took a breath and then ran forward, pushing past Hikaru and Kaoru.

She paused and stared at the boy. "Edward," she mumbled, her eyes watering. The boy grinned, "How many times must I tell you not to call me that," he asked her calmly, smiling at her.

Yumi ran forward and hugged him, "Oh Eddy! I'm missed you!" She said, burying her head in his shirt. He hugged her back, "You have no idea how hurt I've been with you gone, Yumi," he whispered to her.

Everyone in the host club (minus Mori, Kyoya and Haruhi) gasped and looked at them in shock.

"Who in the world is that?!" Tamaki asked horrified at the sight of his "daughter" in the hands of an unknown man.

Hikaru stared at the sight and thought for a moment, "Edward?" he mumbled thinking. Kaoru just stared at the sight, baffled and for some reason, he felt slightly annoyed at the sight of the Italian teen in the hands of the unknown man.

Meanwhile, Yumi stared up at Eddy, "I've dreamt of you every night since I left," she told him. He smiled, "I've done more then dreamt of you, Yumi. You were on my mind 24/7 since you left."

"Oh, Eddy," she mumbled, moving closer to him. He moved closer to her and, as the baffled hosts gasped at what was about to happen, they heard someone start to laugh.

They blinked and looked at the "loving couple" and saw Yumi had broken out in laugher. "I was on your mind 24/7?! That's rich! Priceless, even!!" she laughed, holding her side. Eddy also began laughing, "You've dreamt of me?! What kind of stupid ass thing to say is that?!" he chocked out.

"Um, excuse me?" Haruhi asked. Yumi nodded and tried her best to stop laughing, "Y-Yeah Haruhi?" she asked.

"He's, um, Eddy?" she asked, pointing to Eddy and raising an eyebrow.

"Huh? He's your brother Yumi?!" Hikaru and Kaoru asked. "Oh! Now I remember what you told us yesterday," Hikaru mumbled after a moment.

Koaru blinked, that was . . . Weird. Why was I feelings jealous for a second? He thought as Eddy and Yumi walked up to the group.

"Everyone this is Eddy. He's like my big brother. What you just saw was a little act I wanted to pull." Yumi explained. Eddy nodded to the group, "It's nice to meet you all. Thank you for taking care of Yumi while she's been here, especially you miss Fujioka."

Haruhi nodded, "I knew who you were once you walked in. You two didn't have me fooled,"

Yumi laughed, "That's why I showed you those pictures!"

"So, no romance going on?" Tamaki asked, whimpering. Yumi rolled her eyes, "No romance, Tamaki,"

"Their better not be romance with you here, either," Eddy glared around the room.

"Huh? Why do you care if Yumi gets involved in a romance?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked. Eddy hugged Yumi, "Because she's my sister and I want to make sure the guy she dates is good to her! That's why their's a test!"

Yumi pulled Eddy's hair and he let go, "Don't do that! Do you know how much hair gel I had to use to get it the way I like it?!" he shouted at her.

Yumi cringed and stared at her hand, "Ew, I do now," she mumbled, wiping her hand on the back of his shirt. He glared at her.

"Test?" Haruhi asked. Yumi nodded, "Eddy, my dad and grandpa came up with a test to see if the guy I date really knew me. It's a trick test of my favorites." she explained.

"Trick test? How does it trick you, Yumi-Chan?" Hunny asked, walking up to the group with Mori beside him.

"Simple! Yumi did this test a few years ago and none of it has changed! Guys nowadays are pigs and hardly listen to girls. There are only about 10 percent of decent men in this world who will listen to what a woman says, and because Yumi is so talkative, if boys are willing to listen to her, they'll know her favorites easily. But, sometimes, they gotta do more then just listen. They really have to know her. If a guy can get all the questions right then we'll know he's perfect for Yumi and we'll allow them to date," Eddy explained.

"What happens if they get it wrong?" Tamaki asked. Eddy shrugged, "Then it's 'tootles'." he said nonchalantly.

"That's harsh, but funny! How many guys have taken this test?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked. Yumi shook her head, "None. I don't date so no man has taken it,"

Suddenly, everyone in the club heard the door creak open again and they turned, but saw no one.

"Holy-! Oh gosh, they're still waiting!" Yumi shouted, shocked. She quickly ran to the door and swung it open.

She looked around the hallway and saw no one. "Um, where are they Eddy?" Yumi asked, turning back to look at him.

He shrugged, "I told them to wait."

Yumi's eyebrows scrunched in confusion and she closed the door only a crack. Yumi walked back to the group. "Who were you looking for, Yumi?" Kaoru asked.

"My grandparents and siblings," she mumbled, crossing her arms.

"Oh so you're whole family is here Yumi-Chan?!" Hunny asked happily. Yumi nodded, "Well not everyone. My parents are still on their trip," she smiled.

Eddy sent her a look, but Yumi quickly stepped on his foot. "Ow! Dammit Yumi!" he shouted, grabbing his foot.

Yumi sent him an evil grin and glare that told him to shut up. Kaoru stared at the scene, so she hasn't told her own family that she wants to keep it a secret, huh? He thought to himself.

Yumi continued to glare at Eddy when Hunny noticed something pulling at his Bunny in his arms.

"Huh?" he mumbled, looking down. Sitting on the floor were two happy looking toddlers with light brown hair. The boy wearing jean overalls, a white shirt and a pair of sneakers. The girl wearing a jean skirt and a matching white t-shirt as the boy, only hers said "I'm a princess" when his said "I'm a prince" and she was wearing Maryjane's.

"Oh, hi!" he said happily, bending down to look at the twins. Everyone in the club turned and Yumi smiled happily, falling to her knees next to the twins.

"Tala! Tino! There you are! I thought you were with Grandma and Grandpa!" Yumi said happily, hugging the set of twins.

"What did she say?" Tamaki asked Eddy. "That she thought they were with Granny and Poppy," he told him back.

"How about I introduce everyone now?" Yumi chuckled, looking up at the group. She picked up Tala and Tino and made then stand, "Stand up, that's bad manors," She scolded them.

"Bunny!" Tala whined. Tino pointed to Hunny's bunny. Yumi eyed it, "Um, Hunny, is it okay if the twins play with Usa-Chan for a while?" she asked, rubbing the back of her head.

Hunny smiled and nodded, "Sure!" he said, handing the bunny to Yumi. Yumi nodded her thanks and handed the bunny to Tala, "This is Usa-Chan! Take good care of him for Hunny, okay?" Yumi asked.

Tala nodded and hugged the bunny. Yumi cleared her throat and placed herself in-between the twins and pointed at each host member, first one was Tamaki, "He is Tamaki Suoh, the king of the Host Club. He's from France. Say 'Tamaki' for him," Yumi smiled at them, speaking in Italian for the twins to understand.

Tino played with his hands and stared at his feet, "T-Tamaki," he mumbled. Yumi looked up at the blonde and saw Tamaki was smiling and stared down at Tala, waiting for her.

"Go ahead, Tals," Yumi whispered, patting her sister's head. Tala hugged Usa-Chan and sneezed, "Tamaki," she said to Yumi's face.

"Awww! That's so cute!" Tamaki cooed, bending down on the floor and smiling at the twins. The rest of the club cooed and smiled at the twins, all thinking how cute they were.

Yumi then turned her attention to Haruhi, "That is Miss Haruhi Fujioka. Say 'Haruhi' you two," she told them. The twins looked up at Haruhi and she smiled at them, "Haruhi," they said simultaneously.

Haruhi's smile brightened and she waved at the twins. Yumi then pointed to Hunny and Mori, "This is Hunny and Mori. I know you two can say their names," Yumi paused, "Well, nicknames," she corrected herself.

Tala nodded, "Hunny, Mori," she mumbled to her sister. Hunny smiled and even Mori smiled at the little toddler.

"Tino, go on," Yumi told him. Tino nodded and stared up at the two, "Mori," he said to Hunny, "Hunny," he said to Mori. Almost everyone in the host club laughed, and Yumi shook her head, "You got that backwards." she told him.

Tino nodded and mumbled, "Sorry,"

Yumi looked up at them, "He said sorry," she grinned at them. "It's okay! He's still really little so it's okay if he mixes up the names," Hunny told her happily.

Yumi nodded and continued to move to the next host, which was Kyoya, "Guys, that's the evil lord of the host club, Kyoya. Say hi," she grinned.

Eddy let out a laugh and Tino quickly hid behind Yumi and Tala buried her head in Usa-Chan's back.

Yumi laughed, "No, no. I'm kidding you two. He's not all that evil and he's not a lord. He's a second year student. Say 'Kyoya' for him," she explained to them. Tino took a few steps away from his sister's back and stared up at Kyoya, who stared back at him blankly.

"K-Kyoya," he mumbled. Tala followed in her brother's footsteps and mumbled his name as well.

And, even for an evil overlord, the dark lord Kyoya paused for a moment and all eyes landed on him, wondering if his expressed would change, which it did. For just a mere second, he smiled lightly at the twins, before going back to writing in his little book and the blank expression returning to his face.

Yumi smiled and then pointed to the twins, "Lastly, the twins,"

Tala and Tino both clapped and pointed to themselves. Yumi and Eddy laughed, "No, no. Yes you are twins, but I'm talking about those twins," Yumi told them, gently taking their hands that were still pointing and pointing them in the direction of the twins.

Tala and Tino stared up at them then started to smile and clap, "They like us!" Tino told Yumi. Yumi nodded.

She took Tala and Tino's hands and pointed them to Hikaru, "That is Hikaru, the older twin," she told them. "Like me!" Tino piped up. Yumi nodded, "That's right. Say 'Hikaru' you two,"

"Hikaru!" they said happily. Hikaru grinned at the twins. Yumi then pointed their hands to Kaoru, "That's Kaoru,"

"H-He's like me, sissy," Tala mumbled to her sister. Yumi nodded, "That's right, he's the younger twin. Say his name," she asked.

"Kaoru!" they said happily. Kaoru grinned at them, "They said our names so happily," he told Hikaru.

Hikaru nodded, "They must like us more!"

Yumi picked up Tino, "Not really. They just like twins, that's why they were excited. Ya know, to meet another set of twins," she explained.

Tino pushed at Yumi and pointed to Hikaru. "What does he want?" Hikaru asked. Yumi grinned, "Um, he wants you to hold him. But if you don't want to-"

"I don't mind," he said nonchalantly. Yumi and Kaoru both stared at him, "Really?" Yumi asked. Hikaru nodded, "Yeah, he seems like a good kid."

Yumi nodded and handed Tino over to Hikaru. Hikaru supported Tino with his left arm, and placed him on his side.

"Kaoru, you wanna hold Tala?" Yumi asked, picking up the younger girl. Kaoru blinked, "Well, I've never held a baby before, so I don't know,"

"Well nether has Hikaru and he's doing fine. Don't worry; she won't barf on you or nothing. She knows better," Yumi told him, handing the small girl over to Kaoru. Kaoru jumped slightly as he took Tala. She was still clutching Usa-Chan. Kaoru placed one arm under Tala, then held her back with his hand, and stared at the little girl who was staring back at him.

Yumi smiled, "Twins holding twins. Damn I wish I had my camera," Yumi mumbled. "Granny's got it," Eddy told her.

Yumi blinked, "Crap! Where are they?!"

"YUMIKO DE LUCA!"

Everyone in the club turned around and Yumi cringed, hiding behind Mori, "Please help me!" she mumbled to him.

Standing in the doorway of the room was an older looking woman. Her hair was down and was a brownish color, with some gray. She was wearing jean pants and a red blouse. Next to her was an older man, the top of his head bald, and he was in slacks and a gray t-shirt.

"Hi Granny!" Eddy waved happily at her. The woman walked up to Yumi, "Grandma you can't hurt me! I'm hiding!" she whined.

"I'm not going to hurt you," she smiled. Yumi peeked out from behind Mori, "You're not?" she asked, walking up to her.

Her grandma smiled, then hugged her extra tightly, "I'm going to kill you for choosing such a big school! I'm old and I can't walk up all those stairs!" she shouted at her.

Yumi pushed herself away from her grandma and panted. "Okay, everyone that crazy woman is my grandma, Sue Nico and that man," Yumi pointed to the man who walked up to Sue, "Is my grandpa, Paul Nico." she introduced.

"Nice to meet you all," Paul greeted. Sue nodded, "Thank you all for taking care of Yumiko."

"Yumiko?" Hikaru and Kaoru grinned at her, still holding the twins. Yumi glared at them, "NO calling me that!" she snapped.

"Ah, I see the twins took a liking to you," Paul smiled at Hikaru and Kaoru. "We've taken a liking to them too!" they grinned, bouncing the toddlers in their arms.

"Grandma, if you're tired, then sit down," Yumi told her grandma. "What? Just because I'm old doesn't mean I have to sit down every minute, young lady! I'm only fifty-seven!" she snapped.

Yumi's sweat dropped, "You just called yourself old and pointed out that thing about the stairs," Yumi mumbled in a whine.

Sue patted, hard, on Yumi's back, "You shouldn't mumble!"

Yumi hung her head and sighed, "Yeah, yeah," she mumbled once more. Sue and Paul then walked over to the sofa and took a seat.

Yumi pointed at them and her mouth hung open, "Wha-?! I just-?!" she mumbled.

"Don't keep your mouth open like that, Yumiko. A fly could fly inside and you could swallow it," Sue told her matter-of-factly. Yumi sighed and closed her mouth.

Hikaru chuckled, "It's funny seeing Yumi like this," he told Kaoru. He nodded, "Yeah," he agreed.

Tala stared at Kaoru, "Ti piace mia sorella?" Tala mumbled to Kaoru. Kaoru stared at her quizzically, "Huh? Sorry Tala, I don't speak Italian," he told her sadly.

"Eddy," Kaoru called. Eddy perked up and moved his attention from Yumi introducing everyone to her grandparents to Kaoru.

"Yeah, um?" Eddy paused, trying to remember Kaoru's name.

"Kaoru," he made clear. Eddy nodded, "Right. Sorry, I suck with names,"

Kaoru nodded, "Can you tell me what Tala just said?" he asked. Eddy nodded and looked at Tala, "Tals, what did you tell Kaoru?" he asked her.

Tala buried her head in Usa-Chan.

"Gosh, what a time to get shy. Do you remember what she said?" Eddy asked. Kaoru nodded, "Um, it was something like, um, Ti piace mia sorella or something like that," Kaoru told him.

Eddy stared at Tala, "Tals, why'd you ask him that?" Eddy asked the toddler. Tala glanced up at Eddy and shrugged.

Eddy laughed, "Don't worry about it Kaoru! She has no idea what she says half the time. What she asked you means nothing."

Kaoru eyed Eddy curiously, but shrugged it off and walked a little forward to listen to the conversation taking place between Tamaki and Yumi's grandparents.

"I see, you're from France! I've been their a few times," Sue stated matter-of-factly. Tamaki smiled and nodded, "Yes I moved here about three years ago,"

Sue smiled, "I was thinking about setting up a bakery in France, but we have no family there to watch it. But, since Yumiko is here in Japan we might set up our first bakery out of Italy here."

"Oh! I'd like that!' Hunny smiled. Yumi nodded, "Same here. We could buy a building and I could live above the bakery. That way Haruhi can have her room back,"

"It's no problem sharing it Yumi," Haruhi told her. Yumi grinned, "I know, but once you get a boyfriend you won't want to be sharing your room,"

Tamaki quickly butted in and shouted that his 'daughter' won't be seeing any boys and how she'll say his little girl forever. Meanwhile, Yumi caught a glimpse of Hikaru, who looked rather annoyed at what Yumi said and how Tamaki protested to Haruhi being in a relationship.

Yumi puffed up her cheeks.

"Yumiko how's school? I hope you're keeping your grades up," Paul asked. Yumi nodded, "Yeah, my grades are fine,"

"Except math," Hikaru and Kaoru butted in. Yumi sent them a glare, "Like I said, my grades are fine. School's fine. Nothing like back home, don't worry," she told them. Her grandparents nodded.

"When do Yumi-Chan's parents get back from their trip?" Hunny asked Sue and Paul. Haruhi nodded, "Yeah, I saw pictures of them before, but I'd like to meet them in person. I'm sure my dad would like to see them too,"

"We all would! Do you know when they get back?" Tamaki asked. Sue and Paul looked around the room, baffled.

"Oh, they won't be back from their trip for a while, guys!" Yumi butted in quickly.

Sue stood up and walked up to Yumi when Tala started to cry.

"Ah! W-What's wrong with her?!" Kaoru quickly asked, staring at the hysterical toddler. Yumi quickly took Tala out of Kaoru's hands, "She's just upset, it happens," she told him quickly, bouncing Tala up and down in her arms and whispering something to her in Italian, making Tala stop crying and reduce it to small whimpers.

Kaoru held his hands back out, "I'll take her back," He told Yumi. Yumi nodded and handed her sister back to Kaoru.

"Yumiko, what are you talking about?" Sue asked her. Yumi sent her a look, "I don't want them to know yet. Give me some more time, please," Yumi told her.

Sue paused and nodded, "Alright,"

Then the two perked up, "Well, time to kidnap Yumiko!" Sue said happily.

"Huh?!" the hosts asked. Paul stood up and Eddy wrapped his arm around Yumi's neck, locking her, "She's ours for the rest of the day and tomorrow too! She's going to show us around Japan!" Eddy explained.

Yumi smiled at the gang, "Sorry Haruhi! I'll be home late!"

Haruhi nodded. Eddy quickly pulled Yumi over to the door, while Paul and Sue walked up to Hikaru and Kaoru and took the twins, Sue taking Usa-Chan out of Tala's hands and handing it to Hunny.

"Thank you all for your hospitality!" Sue called. Paul picked Yumi's bag up off the floor and the Italian group walked out and closed the host club doors.

"Hmm, so that's the family that raised Yumi? They're all very loving to each other," Kyoya mused, not looking up from his book.

"But, did you notice they all got tense when we mentioned Yumi-Chan's parents?" Hunny asked. "And Tala started to cry," Haruhi mumbled.

"You think she's keeping something?" Hikaru asked, eyeing Kaoru. Is what he read in Yumi's book something about her parents? He thought to himself.

Kaoru stared down at his hands, then tilted his head slightly, "Don't worry, I'm sure whatever's going on, she'll tell us," he said.

Everyone in the club eyed Kaoru and he looked up at them. He shrugged and half-smiled, "We are her friends, aren't we?"
