The car ride was hell to say the least. The whole time I was trying to find ways for them to glance away from me for just a second so I could barrel roll my ass out of the car and run home in victory. But apparently things such as 'Bill Gates is flipping you off in the car next to us.' or 'Look at that sexy beast, I'd tap that.' Doesn't even come close to catching their interest. After 5 more minutes of useless attempts Hikaru and Kaoru ambushed me in a suggestive hug to shut me up. It worked.

About 20 minutes later the Bently pulled up to the beach resort and everyone piled out of it. You can only imagine the goo goo eyes the girls that passed by were giving all of us. I rolled my eyes and headed over to the changing rooms to put on the bikini the twins are forcing me to wear. Haruhi trails behind with her own bikini and waits for her turn at one of the flimsy tents since all of them were occupied except for the one I was going for. "Need help putting it on?" Hikaru teased wiggling his eyesbrows suggestivly. I blush a little but scoff trying to keep my cool "You'd like that too much." "Probably!" Ignoring his last comment I walked into the tent and changed into the skimpy garments that should bearly even count as clothing. Taking a quick glance at myself in the dirty mirror I couldn't help but smile, I actually looked hot! I removed the wig on my head and fixed the strands of hair that stuck out. "Alright Akira, time to suck it up and enjoy yourself."

Taking a deep breath I stepped out of the tent and faced the group of guys (and Haruhi ) Everyone except for Haruhi and Hunnies face tinted pink and Kaoru let out a wolf whistle, "You look hot!" I smile greatfully at their possitive reactions and was about to thank them when Kyoya cleared his throat. "Not to ruin the mood but, I forgot to mention that this beach is covered in regulars that go to the host club. Look theres one now." We all look in the direction he pointed and sure enough one of Tamakis regulars was heading our way. "Damnitt Kyoya! What do I do?" I yelled panicing. "Go back in!" Hikaru pushed me so I would go back in the tent but, of course, he ended up tripping me and we both went tumbling into the changing room.

"Ow." I cringed opening my eyes to see Hikaru and I in a tangled mess on the floor, our faces unbearlably close. My face turned bright red, and I was going to ask him if he was okay but he put his finger to his lips and shushed me. Minty air fanned out over my face because of the close proximity and I can't say that I didn't enjoy this a little to much. Outside we heard Tamaki butter the girl up with compliments and whisked her away, probably over to the beach. I sighed in relief and moved to get up but was stopped by Hikaru holding me in place. I looked into his eyes questionably but instantly felt this sudden connection. It was undescribable, stunning, amazing. Our faces got closer, so close our noses brushed past each other. My heart increased speed and my palms got sweaty, I've never been so worked up over a guy this much before.

The curtain of the tent whiped open before we could get any closer and Kaoru poked his head inside. "The coast is clear guys!" Why. Why? WHY? We were so close! I sigh in defeat and quickly untangled myself from Hikaru. Kaoru looked at me curiously, "Did I interupt something?" I glared playfully at him and shoved Hikaru at him and out of the tent before he could say anything. "Of course not! Go take your other half and go down to the beach. I'll meet you guys there." "Okay… Haruhi said she'll wait for you" I nod my head and off they went.

I slap my my hand over my forehead and quicly put back on my bandages, wig, yellow boy shorts, and white baggy t shirt and stepped outside. Haruhi gave me a knowing look and I sighed in defeat "Let's just drop it and go to the stupid beach." She smirks and nods her head and we head out "You do know you like him right?" "Shut up haruhi!"

~Later~

The whole day was spent entertaining the guests like usual and everyone was actually having a good time. Well except for me that is, all of my regualrs wanted to go and play in the water with me but I flat out denied them making up an excuse saying that I'd rather watch them scamper around in the water. I think they liked that response way to much. Haruhi headed over to me and sat down on the big towel set up on the ground. "Look at that rock that looks like a cat." I look over to where she pointed and I sweat dropped, the thing was terrifying. "Just what you'd expect from that Nekozawa guy. Dark, brooding, and makes you want to piss yourself."

~Tamakis POV~

"Why did we have to go to Nekozawas beach?" The twins asked me in their usual rude tone. I was about to answer them with one of my clever retorts but felt a dark presence behind me, "Everyone having fun?" I shrieked and flew back behind Kyoya in tears. "Kyoya! I thought we were going to borrow one of your private beaches!" Kyoya steps away from me and adjusts his glasses. "Akira and Haruhi wanted to to go somewhere close by. Besides, Haruhi doesn't have a passport remember?" I sigh in defeat and slump to the ground. I'm such a bad daddy! Nekozawa chuckles again "The Cat Cave is where each generation of the Nekozawa family's offerings are placed to worship our guardians deity. Theres a legend that says if you jump off into the sea from there, you will never come back up. Muahahaha!" The twins roll their eyes and whipser about how lame that was while I pout and look around for one of my daughters. "Oh look, theres a brave challenger right over there.." I turn in the direction of the cat thing and saw Haruhi leaning over the cat's mouth to look at the water while Akira was pacing about fairly close to the edge. The twins and my face went deathly pale.

"AKIRA! HARUHI!"

~Akiras POV~

Haruhi managed to convince me to go into the mouth of the Cat Cave so she could over look the water. I sighed and paced around the edge of the mouth not looking down, 'I hate you with a passion water. Just die… okay that didn't make sense. I'm going crazy!' "I'd probably die if I fell wouldn't I Akira?" My face turned white and I suddenly felt nausious. "Please don't say that Haruhi!" Suddenly we heard our names shouted from a distance. I looked up only to see three blurs charging at us full speed. They picked Haruhi and I up and in a split second were dropped on the sandy ground. I sweat drop as I look up to see the twins and Tamaki leaning over (Hopefully) fake tomb stones attempting to catch their breath. "My precious daughters… almost lost you!" Tamaki gasps looking up to see a skull in his hands and shireks dropping it like he got burned.

"Haruhi! Akira! Wanna go hunt for clams?" Hunny comes running up to us with a shovel and bucket in his hands. We both shot up and booked it away from the sobbing king. "But aren't clams not in season yet?" Haruhi looks around confused and Hunny just smiles. "Don't worry! We loaded the beach~" My eyes went wide as dinner plates and I practically dove into the sand. "FOOD!" Kaoru troted over and stuck a scallop in my face. "Do you like these Akira?" I smiled brightly and closed my eyes. "Yeah! Thanks Kaoru!" He blushed a tint of pink which everyone noticed except for you of course. Hikaru felt a twang of jealousy course through him and rushed over with a oyster. "Akira look look! Do you like these?" I started drooling for more reasons than one and took the oyster out of his hands. "Thanks Hikaru!" Soon the whole host club was bombarding Haruhi and I with different kinds of fish and shells. I sweatdrop "OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH!"

Tamaki picked up a crab and presented it to Haruhi with pride knowing he was going to one up everyone… when a centipede crawled out of it. All of the girls around us screamed in horror and booked it away from us like we had the plague or something. I cross my arms and shook my head at the silly girls while Haruhi picked up the centipede and tossed it over some rocks. The twins and Tamaki just stared dumbfounded while the girls slowly came back and paraised us for our 'manliness.' I snort and secretly roll my eyes, 'If only you knew…'

~Tamakis POV~

I pout childishly in defeat. I was hoping Haruhi would be scared and hide behind me and I could protect her. Judging by the twins faces I think they thought the same. Well, besides the protecting them part. Suddenly the twins confused faces turn into devious ones. "Milord! We just thought of a good game!" Hikaru leaned into my ear "It's the who can find Akira and Haruhis weakness game~" My eyes narrowed and I huffed. What a cruel game to think of! "You guys are the worst! I'm not scareing one of my daughters!" Kaoru shrugged his shoulders and went to walk away "Sorry sorry, we just thought you'd want to find out since knowing someones weakness means you are intimate with each other…"

Wait.

That changes everything! I quickly grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. "The rules?" "By tomorrow evening whoever finds their weakness first is the winner." I raised my eyebrow, "And the winner gets?" Kyoya suddenly appears in front of them with six pictures between his finger tips. "Who ever wins gets assorted pictures of Haruhi in middle school and Akira in her old school. The first three pictures were of Haruhi tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, diving for a ball in volleyball, and her putting up her hair in an adorable ponytail. The other three pictures were of Akira playing her violin at her host club with a charming smile on her face, her sticking her tongue out and winking at the camera, and her sleeping peacefully on her desk in the middle of class. What started as a battle between the twins and I turned into a challenge for the whole host club. My eyes harden with determination as the same thought passed though the host club members heads.

I must win!

~And so this is how the passionately manly battle got started.~

~Akiras POV~

"Why are we in the cave again?" The twins shushed me as everyone walked into the dank cold cave. (Authors note: Akira isnt afraid that the cave is dark because everyone has flashlights. Shes only scared of complete cant-see-anything-in-front-of-you darkness. Sorry for the interruption!) The girls who decided to tag along were all huddled together clinging onto all of us 'guys' like we were shields to anything that would pop up at us. "It says in the map that the cave in Cat Rock leads to a regular road." Hikaru says confidently as him and Kaoru lead the way.

"Although the townspeople seldome come here. Because whatever anyone might say, the cursed members of the Nekozawa are buried in the cave walls in here." I roll my eyes as I felt the grip of all the girls clutching onto me tighten. 'Typical silly girls.' "Night after night a bony, bloody skeleton hand will grab anyone passing by and drag them into the walls-" Right as Kaoru finished a hand shot out from the dark and gripped Haruhis shoulder. She just stood there and blinked while the other girls nearly passed out. "Were you not listening to our story or something?" Hikaru yells frusterated. Haruhi scoffs, "I did, but I tend to not believe in those silly stories." The twins deadpan and I drop to the ground laughing hysterically. First trap: Failiure.

After we got out of the cave Hunny and Mori dragged us to the eyes of the Cat Cave. "Look here! It's realllly high!" I looked down at how far it was and whistled "Dang it is pretty high Hunny, I better not fall~" Mori gives Hunny a blank stare and picks my up to bring me even higher. I sweatdrop, "Now I know how tell you feel Mori!" Fear of heights: Failiure.

The rest of the day went on like that. The whole host club brought Haruhi and I to strange places or put sharp objects near our faces. It was starting to get annoying. When I finally got some free time to myself I decided to walk around the beach some more. I was pretty surprised, normally whenever I'm around the host club something terrible happens. Especially around the twins. But it hasn't happened today, well, besides the thing with Hikaru but I wouldn't count that as terrible in the slightest! A shout at the top of the mountain pulled me out of my thoughts. 'What the..?' I strained my eyes to see further and noticed that one of my regulars from the host club was being pushed around by three guys! My eyes hardened and my senses went into pure rage mode. 'Who the hell do they think they are?'

I raced up the top of the cave after collecting a few rocks on the beach and snuck up on the three guys. I picked up a few rather large rocks from the bucket I was holding and chucked them at the guy holding down the girl. He shouted in pain and dropped the girl so she crawled over to me and hid behind my back. "If you think getting a girl like that is the way to go you're going to stay a virgin for the rest of your life. Or a rapist, either way." "This punk threw rocks at my head!" The guy screamed pointing at me, "Well, obviously. You make it seem like it's the first time you've ever got something knocked to your head." I whisper to the girl behind me to run and go find someone from the host club. She nodded and booked it down the cave. The guys went to go after her but I pushed them back with all my might. They just got in my face again and pushed me tword the edge of the cave.

~Hikarus POV~

The rest of the host club and I were making sand castles with Haruhi when one of Akiras regulars came charging up to us. "Help! It's Akira! He's on top of the cave fighting these three guys!" My eyes widen looking up at the top seeing Akira being pushed near the edge by the three guys. Without another word I booked it in the direction of the cave. 'Shit, hold on Akira!'

~Akiras POV~

The three guys shoved me again all at once and I flew back, just bearly catching my footing at the edge of the cave. They came at me again but I head butted the one closest to me. 'Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't fight!' The one I head butted recovered quicker than I thought and held down one of my arms while the second guy did the same. The 'leader' (the one I threw rocks at) got in my face and scoffed. "You look like a chick, arent you to small and lanky to be acting like a man?" I smirk back "That's not what you mom thought about me last night." The guy snarled and punched me in the face. "Go to hell!" I glared back hard and spat in his face "See you there. By the way, get a mint, your breath smells like ass." Finally having enough of my snarky comments the guy screamed and shoved me as hard as he could. His two buddies let go of my arms and I toppled off the cliff towards the water. The last thing I saw was Hikarus silhouette diving in after me. 'Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut…'

~Hikarus POV~

Just as I got to the top of the cliff I saw the biggest of the three guys shove Akira off the cave cliff. My heart stopped. "AKIRA!" I screamed shoving past the three guys and jumping over the cliff after her. Tamaki and the others will deal with them, all I care about right now is saving her. My body smacked painfully into the icy cold water just seconds after hers and I swam down to where Akiras quickly sinking and flailing body was. I put my hand on her face and she opened her eyes immediately clinging herself to me.

~Akiras POV~

The water was freezing, not to mention the fact that my head was pounding no thanks to that guy who punched me. I kept my eyes closed the whole time I was randomly flailing in the water, I didn't want to see how far down I was. Suddenly I felt a hand on my face, my eyes snapped open and I instantly knew it was Hikaru when I saw his orange hair and mischievious eyes. I clung to him like a needy child and he brought us to the surface. I breathed in hungrily. My lungs were in desperate need of oxygen since I never had any the whole time I was in my near death drowning session for the second time. I really need to get swim lessons.

As soon as Hikaru could reach the sand under the water he switched my position on him and carried me bridal style to the shore. Thankfully the wig was still secured on my head. Everyone crowded around us, some asking if I was okay and others telling me how brave I was. Honestly I just felt humiliated and stupid. "Where did those three guys go?" Hikaru asked Kyoya. "I took all of their ID's and politly asked them to leave." Kaoru pulled out a shirt from his bag and wrapped it around me. I just nodded at him and stayed silent."Tamaki and I will bring everyone back to the hotel. Haruhi please contact a doctor for Akira." Hikaru passed me over to Mori and I cleared my throat so people would listen. "I don't need a doctor, I'm fine." Hikaru fixed me with a hard stare, it honestly scared me. "Akira. Are you a martial arts expert like Hunny or can you swim?" "Um..no?" Hikaru grips my shoulders and got in my face. Mori steps back a little. "Then what the hell were you thinking? We were right here and yet you tried being the hero and tried handeling things yourself! You're a girl, what foolish things were going through your head that made you think you could take on three men by yourself?"

"Being a guy or a girl doen't matter Hikaru, when your stuck in a situation like that their isn't time to think about other thinks you can do you just do what you think is right." "STILL THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR DOING STUPID!" My face went from surprised to pissed at the fact that he was yelling at me over something that I did right. 'I just saved a girl damnitt! Why are you yelling at me?' I jumped out of Moris arms and got in Hikarus face this time. I didn't come off very intimidating though concidering I had to stand on my toes to reach his full height. "I'm sorry for making you worry but I honestly don't understand why I'm getting scolded like a child for something that isn't even that bad! I did nothing wrong!"

The remaining of the host club around us just stood there akwardly not really knowing what to do. There really wasn't anything they could do. Hikaru shook his head angrily and balled his hands up in a fist. "Fine then, do whatever you want but I'm not talking to you until you relize the mistake you've made." And with that he stormed off towards the resort we were staying at. Kaoru gave me a sympathetic look becore trailing behind his brother. Haruhi nudged me in the side and I looked down at her, tears threatening to slip past my eyes. "You did nothing wrong" She whispered before heading towards the resort. I silently followed after a few minutes.

'What have I gotten myself into?'
