Hello My lovelies! I hope you're have a fantastic day! If your not then I hope this chapter makes it better! Sorry I'm so late! (I don't own Ouran or any characters except Isami.)

Isami's Pov:

Ever since the twins fight I have had trouble sleeping. Each night I bolt out of bed from a nightmare and spend the rest of the night jogging, drawing, or writing. Needless to say to lack of sleep is defiantly taking its toll on me.

Each little action takes twice as much energy as it did before, which would explain why I haven't eaten much either.

Now, I know 'no sleep + no food= disaster' still I can't bring myself to eat more than a bite at a time.

I also know that I can't keep this up for long. Last time this happened I wound in the hospital, but I can't afford to let be any record of my permanent stay here. So going to a hospital is out of the question.

I need sleep, but I can't get it at home for fear of another nightmare, I can't sleep at school cause I need to have my guard up at all times, there and not at Haruhi's cause Ranka is insane.

Which leaves me with one option, sleeping pills. Which I would entirely mind taking if they weren't a prescription needed drug, and they dull my senses which I don't like.

So now I'm trudging the lonely path to school in a very slow and unsteady manner.

Haruhi had to go in early due to some unfinished studying she had to do, which I'm grateful for since I don't have to worry about her seeing me like this.

Eventually I arrive at the front gates of the school.

I straighten myself, wipe the tired from my eyes, and put on a normal mask of strength, then I walk through the gates.

"Isa-chan! Isa-chan!" I turn slowly and see Honey waving at me from Mori's shoulders. "Hi!"

I smile gently "Hello, Sweetie, Mori" I wait for them to get next to me and we walk into the building together.

"Hey Isa-chan, are you ok?" Honey jumps off Mori's shoulders and stands in front of me.

I smile and ruffle his hair "Yes, don't worry, Sweetie." I glance at Mori, who doesn't look convinced. "I'm fine." I say a little more firmly and he looks away.

Honey's Pov:

She's lying. Isami is not ok, something is wrong. Her movements are a little more sluggish and it seems that each step she takes is harder than the last. I don't like it. I look at Mori and nod.

We both agree, without using words, to keep a close eye on Isami today.

"If you say so, Isa-chan!" I hug her and prance back to Mori.

Mori's Pov:

I don't know why she's lying to us, but it disappoints me a bit. Considering what she shared with me the other day. Maybe it was a one time thing, since she was having a emotional roller coaster that day, but that still doesn't stop me from being a bit hurt by her shutting us out.

No matter, I still will watch over her today, I think she might need it. I watch her slip inside her class and Honey and I start walking to our own class room.

Isami's Pov:

I feel bad lying to those two, and I know they didn't believe 100%, but I don't want them worrying about me. If they knew that I've gone almost a week with no more than 3 hours of sleep and next to nothing in my stomach, they would freak. Which would cause them to tell Tamaki, who would tell Haruhi, who would tell Ranka, and I was in no mood to deal with all of them.

I slip into my class room and drop into my seat, in a very unlady-like manner.

"What wrong with you?" Kaoru turns in his seat to face me, followed by Hikaru. "Did some body get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" He wages an eyebrow at me, teasingly. Instead of retorting back I just open up my sketch book and ignore them completely.

Now I really have their attention, "Ok no sarcastic remark? No death threat? Who are you, and what have you done with Isami?!" Hikaru taps my head with a pencil.

I growl under my breath and shoot him the most evil death glare I know. Needless to say he won't be bothering me again, at least for today.

Just then, Haruhi walks in and takes her normal seat next to me.

"Uhhh whats wrong with him?" Haruhi points to Hikaru, who is sitting in a newly developed 'emo-corner' and is releasing waves of fright and stress.

"Isami broke Hikaru!" Kaoru shouts clinging to his brother.

I just roll my eyes and turn back to my sketch book, till I feel a poking at my shoulder.

"Isami, are you ok?" Haruhi looks at me with worried eyes.

"Yeah, I'm just not in the mood to deal with those two." I say flatly, pointing to the sobbing/hugging twins.

Haruhi just nods "I totally get it." She then opens up her text book just as the teacher walks in,

"class has now begun, everyone".

I try to pay attention, but my mind was having none of it, so instead I just stared out the window. I began to imagine what it would of been like if I was a normal girl.

Would I be the kind of girl who freak out of over dresses, make up, and guys?

Or would I be shy and go unnoticed for most of my life?

Would have a loving older sister and a protective big brother?

Would I have a ton of girlfriends, and have sleep-overs?

Would I be a tom-boy or a girly-girl?

I laugh to myself, cause these thoughts are completely useless. You can't change what you're born with, and I was born to be different. Do I wish I was able to live a normal life? Yes, all the time. Do I wish that I had no powers and was completely average? Maybe once upon a time, but my powers, strength, and brains are all a part of who I am, and wouldn't trade any of it for the world. It's amazing how much your mind could change in just a few years.

I was so lost in thought I didn't even realize that class dismissed for the day. "Isami!" The sound of Haruhi's voice snaps me out of my thoughts and I whip around to face her.

"You gonna sit there all day?" She lift one eyebrow and I quickly realize class was over. The twins laugh a bit at my expense.

"Sorry, I was just lost in thought." I grab my bag off the ground and try to stand. That's when I realize how tired I am.

"Uhh you go ahead, I'll see you in a minute." I sit back down and dig through my bag, making it look like I forgot something.

"Ok, just hurry." She smiles and takes off with the twins, leaving me alone in the class room.

Once she gets out of sight I drop my bag and try to gather as much strength as possible and stumble out of my seat. I take a deep breath and pick my bag off the ground. My body feels like it's made out of lead. All I want to do right now is sleep and the ground looks especially comfortable today, but I ignore that desire and try to get to the club room quickly.

The second I enter I'm bombarded by questions ranging from "Why are you late" to "Do you want to eat cake with me?" I decided to answer the easiest one.

"No thanks, Sweetie, I'm not hungry." I ruffle Honey's hair and turn only to bump into Hikaru and Kaoru.

"Really? But if we recall right you didn't eat lunch today." They both lean down to peer into my face, and a few other host members give me suspicious glance.

"So? Not everyone eats at the same time each day." I say flatly and walk around them to my little table in the corner.

Mori, Honey, and Kyoya keep their eyes on me for a few seconds before turning back to their work.

*sigh* I wish I could just go home. I throw my head back and stare at the ceiling, counting the tiles, and tracing lines with my eyes till hosting hours had ended.

I groan quietly as I grab my bag and head out the door. When I walked outside Honey and Mori were waiting for me. "Hi Isa-chan! Takashi and I want to walk you home!" I grins waving at me.

Not a chance! if they walk me home, then they'll notice my slow pace and unsteady steps. "You boys don't have to do that, its getting late and I'm sure you want to go home." I smile and walk away from them, not giving them a chance to argue.

Mori Pov:

Oh, we are defiantly following her her home. She may have disguised herself well enough to fool the other guys, but Mitsukuni and I are smarter than that. She is struggling with each step, though you would never notice if you weren't trained to recognize when you've pushed yourself too hard.

We follow her down a few streets and down a few allies. We tail her just far enough so we can keep her in sight, but she can't hear us. I begin to feel uneasy, like something bad is about to happen. Just as this feeling washes over me I realize I can't see Isami anymore, and I begin to feel a bubble of panic swelling in my chest.

Isami Pov:

Crap! I knew someone was following me, but I didn't expect this idiot! (remember the guy who was choking Haruhi in the alley? Well, he's back!)

"Well well well, look who we have here!" The man who hurt Haruhi was standing at the end of an ally I was walking down and two of his buddies were at the entrance.

"Remember me, darling?" He steps closer to me, "I told you I'd make you pay."

I scowl at him and try to think of something fast! 'Ok I am in not condition to fight of three men with my bare hands, I can't use my powers cause if someone sees... yikes, my only option, as much as I hate it, is to run. But where?! The entrance and exist to the ally is blocked, and then I look towards the only opening, up.

I smirk and see a metal balcony a few feet above me, I think I can reach it, and these men are not young enough to jump and pull themselves up on to it. So I should be good.

By this point the man is right in my face and I feel him grab my shirt and pull me close to him. "By the time I'm through with you your going to wish you were dead." he hisses the sentence and punches me in the jaw, sending my flying to the opposite side of the ally.

I just sit there for a second, unable to get up, but then I see his other two buddies closing in on me and I realize this is no time to give in to my weakness. I pull myself up and take a running start at the man who punched me. I slam into him and use his face as a lunching pad and pull myself on to the small balcony and on to the roof.

My body screams for me to stop, and black spots had appeared in my vision.

I hear a few shouts of hatred from under me, but I pay no attention to them or my body's constant cry for rest and take off running. not stopping till I was safe in my apartment.

I stumbled through my door, and lock the door behind me.

That's when I collapsed on the ground in my living room, thinking 'I hope no one followed me' before my world faded into black.

Mori's Pov:

Mitsukuni and I searched every where for Isami, but we couldn't find her. I was really worried, but Mitsukuni kept telling me that she was probably at home. *sigh* "Yeah you're probably right."

He and I turn around and start heading toward our home, when we past an ally and happen to over hear a few men talking.

"Are you sure that was her?" One guy with dark hair whispered.

"Yes! how many times do I have to tell you that was her!" Another man who looked like someone just used his face as a launching pad.

I stopped in my tracks and stood a few feet away from the entrance, listening carefully. Mitsukuni froze as well and leaned over quickly to see the men.

"Dude I just don't understand how that tiny redhead was able to take you down in one hit. She didn't seem all that strong to me." The other man shrugged and leaned against the ally wall

Now they had my full attention, I had a strange feeling that they were talking about Isami, and from what I can tell they had just encountered her.

"Shut up!," The man stared at his buddy angrily and punched the wall, "At least I got one hit in. We going to have to wait till we see her again, and this time we can't let her escape." They all piled into a black car and drove away.

"Takashi," Honey looks at me seriously, "You think they were talking about Isami?"

I nodded "We won't know for sure till we see Isami tomorrow." I say as I pull out my phone to call our driver to pick us up.

'Damn it Isami Did you really fight those guys in your condition?!' I was torn between being angry and worried. More than anything I prayed that Isami would come to school tomorrow, unharmed.

~Time skip~

Isami's Pov:

You would think being knocked out all night would make you feel well rested, right? Wrong!, no, it doesn't the only thing it did was make me nauseous, dizzy, and give me a horrible headache.

I moaned and opened my eyes, only to see my vision was blurry. I cursed under my breath and tried to focus my eye sight.

I carefully sat up and checked myself to make sure I wasn't majorly injured. The only thing I could find was a nasty bruise along my jaw, and up my cheek. Other than that I seemed ok. My blurry vision would wear off soon enough.

I stood up, careful not to make my headache any worse.

I staggered into the bathroom and used the counter to steady myself.

I looked into the mirror and saw a purplish bruise running up the left side of my face. It was discolored, but there wasn't much swelling. There were also a few scraps on my elbows, but nothing major. I took some pain medication and did my best to cover up my bruise with makeup.

I looked one last time in the mirror, The bruise was covered and the makeup covered the bags under my eyes. My vision had cleared, but if I moved too fast then black dot would appear in front of my eyes.

My nausea went away, but I was still in no mood to eat anything, so I didn't bother packing lunch. I just feed Luna, grabbed my bag, and walked out the door.

~Time Skip~

Ok to be honest I don't remember much of the walk to school, all I know is that I was now sitting at my desk talking to Haruhi.

"So what happened to your elbows?" Haruhi asks, pointing to the scrapes.

"Oh I tripped yesterday while walking home." I shrugged. I know how to lie, but a bruise on my face would be a hard thing to explain to anyone without admitting to getting in a fight.

Haruhi just nods and turns back to her work. I sigh and put my head on the desks, looking out the window at the clouds looming over the sky, praying it wouldn't rain today.

*Ringggg!*

I groan and push myself out of my seat. 'Greattt now I have to go to the host club' All class period Hikaru and Kaoru were bugging me about 'not being myself'. And my headache was back with a vengeance.

After a few minutes of the agonizing walk to the club I sat down in my usual spot, letting my double vision slowly creep back to normal.

The day went on with no trouble, well at least not until all the ladies had gone home.

"Isami." I glance to my right and see Kyoya staring down at me. "What is it?" I asked trying my best to focus on him.

"We noticed that something is wrong with you. Care to explain?" He sits down in front of me and stares at me like a child caught in a lie.

"Look, Kyoya, aren't I entitled to having a bad day?" I sit up straighter and look him dead in the eye.

"A day? yes, Almost a week? No." He crosses his arms and looks at me expectantly.

I growl under my breath. ok so being so tired has not only made me weak, but irritable too. "Kyoya, leave me alone." I turn in my seat, as a signal for him to leave, but he wasn't going anywhere.

"I will, once you tell me whats wrong." He moves so that he's standing right in front of me.

"Kyoya, Drop it." I push him aside, lightly and start walking to the door.

"Why won't you just tell me what's wrong?" He grabs my arm and looks at me angrily.

"I don't need your help! You don't have to worry about me!" I pull back my wrist from him so fast that it actually made me dizzy and stumble a bit, but a pair of arms grabbed me before I could fall.

It was Tamaki he pulled me up and rubbed his thumb over the spot under my right eye, reveling dark bags under it.

'How the Fuck did he know exactly where to put his thumb? How Did Kyoya know that I was not ok?

"Isami, when was the last time you slept?" Tamaki asks, standing firmly in front of me. Kyoya comes up behind me, so I have no where to go.

Everyone else looks at me, waiting to hear my answer.

There is no way I'm getting out of this, now. I might as well answer.

"About a week." I say with absolutely no emotion. They nod and Hikaru steps up "And when was the last time you ate?" He crosses his arms and looks at me with a scolding look.

I sigh "Bout a week."

They shake their heads and Kyoya starts. "You can't do that to yourself, Isami"

"You'll get sick, Isami" (Haruhi)

"I don't wanna see you hurt." (Honey)

"Your not helping anyone by doing that to yourself" (Tamaki)

"You can barely walk straight! How will you fight anyone who threatens you!?" (Hikaru)

"You can't fight like this." (Kaoru)

"He's right, you can't" (Haruhi)

"You'll just hurt yourself" (Honey)

"It's just plain irresponsible" (Kyoya)

"Yeah" (Mori)

I yell at the top of my lungs, silencing all of them. "You're all wrong! I fight even like this! If you guys were in trouble I would come and save you just as efficiently as if I got a goods night's rest! I have fought in worse conditions, so don't say I can't defend myself or others!" I glare at all of them before whipping around and stomping towards the door.

"Isami!" I turn just in time to see Mori lunging at me.

I gasp and move away just in time to avoid getting hit, but now I was seeing double again.

I noticed several other host members starring in awe at the sudden attack by Mori, but he wasn't through yet.

I glanced back at him and just barely miss what would of been a solid kick to the chest.

Now I'm really confused. "Mori! What are you doing!" I shout while dodging another hit, but it's getting harder and harder to see now.

"Defend yourself!" He shouts in a voice I've never heard before. It was one on anger and sadness.

The other guys just stare, too scared to stop him and too worried to even move.

"Mori stop it!" I shout as he finally lands his first hit which sent me slamming into the far wall.

I couldn't move, all I saw was a mix of colors with no solid shape, my head was pounding like someone had just sent off an explosive in my head, my breath was too fast, and my reaction time too slow.

I was on the verge of blacking out when I see a face appear before me. "You are pushing yourself too hard, you can't defend yourself like that or defend anyone else."

I know it's Mori, I recognize his voice. I feel him slip one arm under my legs and the other along my small of my back. He carries me to a bed which I didn't even know we had. Judging from what remained of my vision the comforter looked very pink.

I feel a small body climb up on the bed and sit next to me "This is where I take naps! No one will bother you here." Its Honey, he shoves a stuffed animal into my arms. "Here you can borrow Usa-chan!"

I'm still in shock over Mori's behavior, but I can't help but smile a bit. "Thanks, sweetie." My vision is clearing a bit more and I see Tamaki grab something from the back room and run to where I was laying.

"Here Isami! You can also borrow my teddy bear." He pushes the animal into my arms and walks away, leaving room for Mori to step up and sit on the edge of the bed.

Mori pats my head and says quietly. "Sleep"

I shake my head in a no, but I already feel to sleep threatening to consume me.

"Why?" He looks at me with confusion.

I pull the stuff animals closer to me chest and whisper just so he and Honey can hear. "Nightmares."

My eyelids are forced closed by the lack of sleep.

"Don't worry, Isami we will keep those mean ol nightmares away!" Honey states while cuddling closer to me shutting his eyes.

I nod and feel myself starting to drift off, but before I sleep. I open one eye, "Mori?" He looks down at me "Don't let anyone take any pictures of me while I'm sleeping, k?" I hear him chuckle and answer, ok, before the darkness takes over, and I fall into the most wonderful sleep I've had in a long time.

Mori's Pov:

I didn't want to hurt Isami, I didn't even think I would land a hit on her. But she was in worse condition then I could of imagined.

I look at the girl sleeping peacefully. She looks so much younger, now. It's like when ever she wakes up the weight of her past, whatever it is, is pushing down on her. Making her older and more mature, but right now she looks exactly like she should. A young teenage girl, with hopes and dreams, and with two stuffed animals clutched in her arms.

I'll admit I feel terrible that I actually hit her, but she didn't seem angry with me, just surprised I guess. I had to do it, I had to show her that she is weak too. That she's not indestructible, and that she was in no condition to fight at all.

I stare at her and place one hand on her face, accidentally wiping off some makeup on the left side of her face.

I gasp inwardly and see a nasty, purplish, bruise on her face. 'Was it those guys in the ally that hurt her? Or was this something else entirely? If it was, then why did she cover it up with make up?' instantly I wanted to destroy those guys, but the most I can do is watch over her right now and make sure no one takes and pic- *click click click*

I glance at the other side of the room and see Kyoya and Hikaru snapping pictures of Isami and Honey, who feel asleep holding her hand.

I walk over to them slowly and stuck my hand out to them. "She said no pictures"

Hikaru sadly handed over his camera, while Kyoya was a little more hesitant to comply.

I slide Hikaru's camera into my pocket, Thinking 'I'll wipe the data chip later' And when I looked back at Kyoya he held out his camera for me to take.

I took it and put it in my other pocket. Kyoya turned to leave, but I put my hand on his shoulder. "The data chip too."

He sighed and smirked, dropping a bright blue memory chip into my hand. "Nothing gets by you hu?"

I just grunt in response and go back to watching over Isami.

'I'm sorry that I wasn't able to protect you, I'll try harder in future." I thought to myself as I sat on a chair next to the bed and waited for the two sleeping teens to awake.

Isami's Pov:

I open one eye and glance at my watch 8:38. I yawn and stretch until I feel two small arms wrap around my torso. I glance and see Honey sleeping peacefully next to me, burying his head into my side.

I smile, normally I would feel uncomfortable in this kind of situation, but this boy is like a little brother to me now so I see no threat.

I'm still a bit tired, but at least now I can think and see straight. The entire situation comes rushing back to me, and I remember yelling at everyone and Mori attacking me.

I look around the room and see the host club members still here, setting up for tomorrow. I try to sit up, but with Honey cuddling up closer to me it's impossible. I don't wanna wake him, but I'm finally ready to eat and my stomach is not too happy about not being fed for so long.

I grab my cell phone from my pocket and text Tamaki to come over here. I would text Mori, but to be honest I'm a bit upset that he attacked me in that condition, Kyoya is just plain out of the question, Hikaru and Kaoru would just laugh at me, and Haruhi would wake Honey up rudely. So that left Tamaki.

I hear his phone go off and see him read the text from across the room. The text reads 'Come over here I can't escape!' Shortly after he reads it he come swiftly to the bed.

"Are you ok, Isami?!" He shots and I quickly shush him. "Shhh! I'm fine. I want to get up but Honey is asleep and I don't wanna wake him. Can you help me move him?"

He Just stares at me before shaking his head furiously "I can't do that!" He Yell/whispers.

"Why not?" I ask exasperated.

"Cause Honey-sempi always wakes up in a terrible mood. He could kill us all!" Tamaki sits in the chair next to the bed and looks at me sorrowfully. "You're own you're own, Isami. Bye!" He jumps up and takes off to where Kyoya is and Kyoya just looks at him raising one eyebrow.

"Coward!" I shout as I try to pull Honey's arms off from around my waist.
He grip was surprisingly strong for being asleep.

My struggling caught the attention of Hikaru and Kaoru who snuck over to where I was, smirking like cheshier cats.

"We could help, for a price, of coarse." They said grinning like maniacs. I raised one eyebrow, 'what could they possible want from me?"

"All you have to do is let us dress you up in the frilliest outfit we have and serve us for a day.

"HA! You wish!" My shouting must have woken Honey a bit cause he opened one eye and glared at Hikaru and Kaoru. "I'm still sleepy." He says in a deadly voice causing the two to flee in fear.

*sigh* "This is ridiculous." I say to myself and pull myself up and into a sitting position with Honey still clinging to my waist. I move his arms so they circle around my neck and I stand up, holding him piggy back style. Honey weighs so little so it's not hard to carry him while he is asleep.

I walk over to were everyone is. "Ok so where's Mori?" I ask hoping he could get Honey off me so I can find some food.

Kyoya looks at me and chuckles, "I think there's a monkey on your back."

"Ha-ha" I laugh with no amusement in my voice and roll my eyes. Just then Mori walks through the door.

"Ah there he is." I walk over to Mori and promptly punch him in the stomach sending him to the floor. "That's for attacking me early, now we're even."

He stares at me in shock, then he just smiles a bit, taking the hand I extended to him. I pull him up and turn my back to him. "Think you can get him off of me? He has a grip like a freaking vice!"

A smile tugs at his mouth as he pries Honey off me, and taking him back to the bed.

I stretch and yawn loudly, but quickly notice the host member staring at me in shock.

"Uhh are you guys trying to catch flies or something?" I roll my eyes and plop down at the table Kyoya was working at.

"D-Did you just punch Mori?!" Hikaru stares at me in shock, while Kaoru just nods in agreement.

"Yeah, so? He deserved it, now we're even." I shrug.

"Mori is hella strong and you just PUNCHED him, and sent him to the ground!" Hikaru shouts again stepping closer to me.

"Yes I punched him. Can we move on now?" I roll my eyes and rest my chin on my hand.

"Are you that strong?" Kaoru leans in closer to me looking me dead in the eye.

"Care to find out?" I asking warningly.

Before I know whats going on Kaoru sits down across from me and extends his hand.

"Seriously? You wanna arm wrestle me?" He nods and I just shrug. "Fine, but I'm not responsible for any damages." I grab his hand and wait for Hikaru to say go.

"Go!" Hikaru shouts at us. Immediately Kaoru starts pushing with all his strength, but I don't even budge. I just yawn and let him push a little longer before slamming his arm down with a loud "Bang!"

"OW! Damn Isami, are you trying to break my arm?!" Kaoru shouts rubbing his arm tenderly.

I just laugh "If you can't take the heat, stay outta the kitchen." I move to get up, but Hikaru quickly sits down in front of me and extends his hand.

"I think you're just weak Kaoru, let me show you how it's done!"

I sigh and grab his arm. At this point the entire Host club has surrounded us except for Honey, who was still asleep. Kyoya was watching as well, scribbling in his little black book.

"Go!" Kaoru shouts. I don't even give him a chance to try before I slam his arm into the table. For some reason now I was arm wrestling everyone at the table Hikaru, Kaoru, Tamaki, and Kyoya were easy to beat, but I was surprised when Kyoya sat in front of me, and asked me to arm wrestle. Mori was a lot harder to beat, cause when we started neither of our arms moved in either direction cause of our equal strength, but eventually I won. Much to everyone's surprise.

"Wow Isami, You're really strong." Haruhi said grabbing her book bag. I smile at her "Thanks, you heading home?"

She nods "Yeah it's getting late."

"Wait for me!" I grab my bag and wrap my arm around her's. "Think we can pick something up at that fast food restaurant before we head home?"

She smiles and nods in agreement.

I look over my shoulder. "Bye ya'll! See you tomorrow!"

Kyoya Pov:

I'm glad Isami is feeling better. It pained me so much these past few days, seeing her struggle like that. I knew something was wrong, but I never expected it to be that bad. Her nap certainly seemed to help with not only her condition, but her mood too. My heart nearly stopped when she yelled at us like she did. I was just so worried about her. I'm glad Mori new what to do, though.

To be honestly, thought, I wanted to kill Mori when he attacked her like that, especially when he sent her flying to the wall. I knew, though, that even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have been able to stop him.

I was also really jealous when he carried her like that to Honey's 'nap area' , but I couldn't figure out why. Being around her makes me do and think things I never would other wise. She's just so mysterious.

Hmmm I wonder what she's going to next?
