Hello , everyone ! I'm so So SO sorry that I haven't updated in like two months . School has just been stressing me out lately and that being said , I take naps all the time and get too lazy . I don't know when I'll ever update again since AP exams and SOL exams are coming soon , and I may be quite busy over the summer . I have to do community service , and I want to get a job too so that I can help my parents … But I will try my best to get more chapters up before the summer … Help encourage me .

I hope you enjoy this chapter even though it may seem a bit bad since I haven't wrote in a while .

Chapter 10 – Admitted Feelings

Slowly the sun peered over the horizon as the blue curtains of the windows were spread . A few similar evil giggles rang softly from across the room while feet were shuffling from one side to the other . From time to time a "Shhh" was heard followed by a soft giggle .

Last night , as the boys took the girls to Kyouya's father's mansion , everyone drifted into sleep so no one had went home at all . Last night was a crazy night for all the boys . Especially Hikaru and Kaoru . If only they had paid attention to the girl twins then maybe what happened last night wouldn't have happened . But it did .

As mischievous as they were , the girls stood quietly on both sides of the boy twin's mats . She glanced towards each other as they smirked and placed a finger on their lips . The other hand was occupied with a pillow … filled with feathers . The old prank . Both girls glanced towards everyone else who were either sleeping on the floor , on the chairs , or on the couches .

Suddenly , they heard a groan , so Kagami and Maika glanced back at the boys with their smile as wide as a Cheshire cat . Then at the right moment , Hikaru and Kaoru opened their eyes calmly , only to result in four sticky water balloons to fall on their marker marked face from last night's prank the girls did . They shouted in surprise and shock waking up The Prince , The Dark King , The Cousin's , and The Rookie . As the boys sat up to wipe away the sticky water from their face , the girls both moved their arm back with the pillow and smacked their male counterparts in the face in sync . At that instant , feathers came out from the pillow and stuck to the boys while other feathers gently flew around them .

From a distance , Haruhi questioned what was going on , Mitsukuni had wide eyes and watched amused , while Tamaki was looking at them in disbelief . Kagami and Maika's friends still had their eyes closed and oblivious to what was happening that moment .

Quickly as possible , Kagami and Maika ran away from the boys who stood up flustered and angry . They mocked a laugh and ran around towards Sukina and Naoya who were on the couches . Hikaru and Kaoru rampaged out of their sleeping area and manically ran towards the twin's with their arms sticking out . However as they got close to Kagami and Maika , Sukina and Naoya instantly opened their eyes like a zombie , bent down and pants them quickly revealing their boxers . Hikaru and Kaoru stood there frozen trying to take in what had just happened to them , but suddenly they saw bright flash , so the boys turned around and saw Hisako with a camera . She took it from the chair she was sleeping at and she had a calm look .

All of a sudden , Kagami wrapped her arm around Hikaru's shoulder and leaned towards him , while Maika did the same to Kaoru . The girls held up two fingers as a peace sign and grinned widely . They waited as another camera flash was heard . They backed away from the boys and giggled evilly towards each other .

"Hikaru … what just happened ?" Kaoru questioned calmly as they watched the twin girls do a random hand shake they just came up at the spot . Hisako just calmly glanced at the pictures she took , while Sukina and Naoya were giving each other a good job . The boys and Haruhi just stood there confused and … confused . "Did we just get pranked ?" It was quiet between the boys .

"I think we did , Kaoru …" Hikaru muttered still shocked from just what happened . It was really hard to take in everything when usually they were the ones that did pranks . It really surprised them to know that these girls – Kagami and Maika – could just pull a prank like that .

As they watched the girls give each other a high five , the boys slowly lost shock and started to get angry . They growled in embarrassment and anger . Kagami and Maika smiled as they glanced at the boys and dashed out the room followed by Hikaru and Kaoru .

On the other hand , Hisako walked over to Kyouya and handed him the camera . "You all were part of this ?" He asked taking the camera and looking at the pictures . Hisako nodded calmly .

"Kagami and Maika planned it as a prank for their enemies back in middle school but they never got to do it . They found this to be a great opportunity to do it to the boys ." She explained as she turned to the side to hear yelling out from the door .

"Yeah , yeah ! We decided to take in part to help them since they've always wanted to do it ! We are all friends , so why not , right ?" Sukina questioned enthusiastically as Naoya carried her on her shoulders . Kyouya just looked at them with a calm but slightly amused look while there was a glare on his glasses . He then felt a poke on his shoulder and looked back at Hisako who was bluntly pointed at the camera .

"Kagami and Maika wanted you to keep the photos in case you ever want to use it . You can use it however you want to ." Kyouya glanced back at the camera in his hands and back at the girls who all crowded around each other and started chatting . He was actually surprised at how smart and mischievous the girls were .

"Mom ! We're home !" Kagami and Maika shouted as they entered the house followed by Hisako , Sukina , and Naoya . Their mom peeked from the kitchen and smiled . All girls walked over to her and gave her hug while Kagami and Maika gave her a hug and kiss on the cheek .

"Where were you girls last night ?" She questioned as she continued cooking a pot of rice and making bacon and eggs . The girls sat on the couches or on the floor and sighed in relief to be at a nice relaxing home .

"Unfortunately , we fell asleep at one of our friend's house ." Maika explained shortly with an awkward look on her face . They heard a soft giggle .

"Unfortunately ? Those boys seem wonderful ." Their mom said as they imaged a smile on her face . Kagami and Maika shivered lightly .

"You , Dad , and kind of Maika seem to really like them …" Kagami muttered softly and unsure . They heard the stove click and saw their mom walk towards them . She sat on the couch that was in front of them .

"We both have a good feeling for them . They seem different compared to that other guy … what was it , Taro ?" She stated with a gentle smile . The girls looked at their mom wondering if they should believe it . "Just give them a chance . You all should give the Host Club a chance . Who knows , they may be the one ." All five girls moved back with an uncomfortable look .

"What are you saying , mom ! ?" Kagami and Maika shouted as they closed their eyes and covered their ears . The other girls just placed a hand on their head and sighed wondering what to believe . Kagami and Maika relaxed and looked down . "They are different from everyone else we've met …" They admitted .

"Exactly . But even if they aren't the ones for you , you'll never meet someone as understanding and acknowledgeable as them , so it's best to not waste this time to be friends with them ." She said as she held a finger up and pointed at everyone . The girls just looked at her calmly and so she stood up and went back to the kitchen . "Anyways , I'm almost done . After you girls eat you should head home . All of your parents called for you ." The girls glanced at each other and looked down .

"Do you think we should start acting nicer ?" Kagami questioned as she slightly glanced at her sister . Maika looked back at her and so she looked up at the ceiling .

"I think it would be best . We can't always seclude ourselves from everyone …" She responded back with dread in her voice . She then looked down to the side . "I feel something good when I'm with Kaoru because he also has that sense of caring for his brother and we get along better than the others , but I don't know how I really feel around him ." Kagami squinted her eyes making it seem like she was hurt that her sister was agreeing to it too , but then again she was happy for her . She also liked Hikaru so it was fine that her sister was starting to like someone too . She wouldn't be alone . Sukina and Naoya nodded at each other , while Hisako sighed .

"I don't want to get white hair at this age , so I'll stop stressing over Kyouya being smarter than me ." Hisako muttered as she calmly closed her eyes and leaned against the couch .

"Naoya and I will be nicer . Much much nicer !" Sukina said with a smile and spreading out her arms in the air . "We think its time we completely get over our ex's . They can be our new lovers !" The twin's grew wide eyes while Hisako pulled her glasses up causing a glare on them . Sukina flinched and started at her friends in confusion . "What ?"

"I have to admit , they do seem like the perfect males for us . We get along with them faster than we could with anyone else . They stuck with us and was there for us when we had hard times ." Hisako explained as she glanced down . Her voice was hesitant and signaling a feeling unknown but obvious .

As the type of person she was , she didn't really want to admit it . Not because they were her friends , but because she thought she was denying herself . She's never had a boyfriend once in her life , but understands the feelings of liking someone and being in love . She understood because she's gone through that phase .

They've all gone through that phase . They've all liked someone or loved someone . However , Hisako and Maika were the only ones who didn't get a boyfriend . The person they liked didn't like them back . So they were hurt just like how everyone else was hurt . It wasn't the pleasant feeling , but even though they didn't want to admit it , they had that type of passion feeling . They couldn't deny it when they know it was there . So Hisako felt she was denying herself …

Not only because Hisako loved someone that didn't love her back , but because her parents had always told her "friends were useless" . Before middle school came along , Hisako was a lonely mean girl . She didn't understand other peoples feelings and was convinced they would get in her way of studies . Just near the beginning of her third year in middle school , Hisako met the young twins and the older step-sisters . They helped her understand what feelings were like ; how to care for your friends , for your parents , for people . And so , she's always felt the love between her friends , but forgot the feeling of liking someone .

"Hisako , are you gaining feelings for Kyouya ?" Sukina questioned cutely as she crawled over to her and held her hand . Hisako looked at the small 18-year-old girl trying to process what she was asked . "Do you like him in some way ? I like Mitsukuni . I've finally met someone who was just like me . He got me to like sweets again . He made me happy when Shou didn't . I like Honey . I like him a lot ." Sukina looked up at her best friend with sad eyes .

Sukina felt awkward telling Hisako the truth for her feelings for Mitsukuni because she loved Shou so much for so long . Her heart was broken and torn away because of him . But just as she said , she's never met someone like Mitsukuni . They were the same and she didn't feel insignificant as she did when she was with Shou . She loved spending time with Mitsukuni . She felt like her life , her heart , was slowly trying to tie itself back together because of him .

Even Naoya felt the same way . Exactly the same way as Sukina , because of the rough time Naoya went through when she was younger . She was always pushed around and joked for being fat and slow . Then in came Amatsu . Her life spread out into the open because he liked her and she liked him . But because of his selfish desire of being stronger than her made him mean and heartless . Completely different than he was when they met each other . Just hearing him say those words cracked her heart . A crack that felt like it was never going to hold itself together . And after meeting him again after for so long , her heart finally fell into despair . Fortunately , someone new came in and helped her be strong and not to be afraid of everyone else greed .

"I think I like Takashi as well ." Naoya started as she looked down . Her friends looked at her as this conversation continued on . "Takashi helped me realized that there are guys out there that accepts me . Every since Amatsu , I would think every guy was like that . But Takashi even helped me . He's presence even makes me want to go out there . It makes me want to challenge him and fight him . And you know what , every time I challenge him he smiles at me like he's happy that I'm fighting again . And his smile always seems to melt my heart back together in place ."

Hisako look at her with a sad look and glanced back at Sukina who was still looking at her with sadness and worry . "So Hisako … I know it's harder for you , but do you like Kyouya . Does he ever make you happy in the inside ? Are you comfortable around him ? Does he make you want to hold him and never let go ?" Hisako gasped as she moved back while Sukina still held onto her hand . Hisako's eyes were widened and a small tear slid down her face .

Kagami and Maika looked at Hisako sadly hoping to hear the words that would make everything better . From the kitchen , the twin's mom smiled gently and caringly at the girls' conversation . Slowly , Hisako brought her other arm up to her eyes as her mouth noted she was completely crying at this point .

"Yes ."
