The guy smirked.

"I'd like to thank you for getting me expelled." He hissed.

Akira frowned and got in a defensive stance.

"This is a private beach, get out." She warned.

"Nah, I'd rather squash you like a bug."

Akira gritted her teeth. She knew she didn't have much of a chance right now.

"Well come on, fight me like a man!" He growled, as he charged toward Akira.

. . .

"Where did Akira go?" Hunny asked.

"She took a stroll down the beach if I remember correctly." Kyouya responded.

"She's been gone a while." The twins complained.

"Well you two had to go and insult her in the car, idiots!" Tamaki muttered.

"Wasn't out fault." They responded.

All of a sudden, there was a yell, and every member of the host club looked over to see a figure dangling off the edge of that cliff.

Akira.

"That's Akira!" Hunny exclaimed, scared.

"AKIRA!!!" Tamaki took off, rushing as fast as he could.

. . .

Akira grasped to the edge of the cliff, attempting to climb back up, but that guy stepped on her hand. Akira winced and yelled out in pain, but she couldn't let go.

Her life depended on it.

"Fall already, you little rat!" He growled, as he continued stomping on her hands. Akira continued to hold on, tears stinging her eyes out of fear with a mixture of pain.

"Damn it.. I can't hold on much longer.." Akira thought to herself.

The guy finally stopped stomping on her hand, and instead stomped her on the head.

The next thing she knew, Akira was falling, but for a split second..

She saw a blur of blonde.

"AKIRA!!!" Was the last thing she heard before crashing into the grasp of the ice cold water.

. . .

"AKIRA!!!" Tamaki pushed the guy out of the way and dove down after Akira. He didn't see her above the water, so he had to act fast.

While underwater, he looked around quickly, until he saw bubbles rising, and swam down to see Akira panicking..

And sinking.

"She can't swim..?" He thought to himself as he quickly swam to her and wrapped his arms around her.

Akira's bubbles stopped.

Tamaki knew she was now unconscious, and rushed up to the surface.

. . .

When Tamaki brought Akira to the shore, everyone else surrounded her.

"Is she going to be ok?" Hunny asked, with tears in his eyes.

"Yes.. She's still breathing." Tamaki said quietly, not letting her leave his hold.

"Should we get a doctor?" Kyouya asked.

"If you would please." Tamaki said, before walking past them toward the mansion they were staying in for the night.

. . .

Akira suddenly found herself underwater, but she was breathing just fine. She looked around to see nothing.. Not even fish.

"What the… Am I dead..? How do I get back to the surface..?" She asked herself, still looking around.

"Hello?" She called out.

No response.

Suddenly a light appeared, and Akira reached to touch it.

As soon as she did, she was suddenly in the clouds.

She watched as a flock of doves flew by gracefully.

"Where am I..? Is this a dream?" She asked, then looked over to see a figure..

A person.

"Um.. Hey." She walked towards him, reaching her hand out.

"Where are we?"

The person turned around to reveal that he was..

Tamaki.

He said nothing, but held out his hand.

Akira took it, but raised an eyebrow.

"Tamaki..?" She asked.

"You had me worried there in the water.." He said quietly, tightly holding her hand and leading her into walking on the clouds.

"I-I didn't know he would be there, I swear." She assured.

Tamaki chuckled.

"Ah my sweet Akira.. You're so cute sometimes."

Akira felt a brush creep on her cheeks.

"Cute..?"

"Yes.. But I have to ask you a favor." Tamaki faced her, then held both of her hands, staring down into her eyes.

"What favor?" Akira asked, feeling her blush grow worse.

"I need you to wake up Akira.. Please.." Tamaki whispered, kissing her forehead.

"Wake up..?" Akira asked, but then a flash of light blinded her.

. . .

Akira quickly sat up to find herself in a bed, and it was dark.

"How long was I unconscious.." She thought to herself, but then noticed that there was a weight on her knee.

She looked down to see Tamaki, fast asleep.

He was still in his bathing suit.. He obviously never left her side since he rescued her, and fell asleep while waiting for her to wake up.

Akira paused, feeling that same blush sting her cheeks. She placed a hand on her cheek to feel.

It was hot.

But then Akira smiled as she gently petted Tamaki's head with her other hand.

"Thank you.." She whispered.
