Chapter Twelve: Rich Kids, Zodiacs, and Hosts- Oh My! Part One
Tohru tossed and turned all night. Her nerves were getting the best of her since she got woken up by the familiar sound of thunder. I hope Haruhi is alright…she is afraid of storms… she thought, concerned about her friend- but also about the beach that morning. What if a girl rubs against Kyo or another Sohma? Especially since Shigure and Ayame were coming too! One host club plus a bunch of rich kids added onto an already-insane zodiac family equals chaos.
The sheer thought of something happening was making the girl obsess, more than she normally does. She was so out of it, that when her alarm clock went off at eight A.M. (A/N it's a Saturday if nobody remembered the dates from a few chappies back), she fell out of bed in an effort to turn it off. Maybe the day will get better and all will end well! Tohru tried to stay positive, no matter the odds; she had to.

Tamaki woke up with a start and smiled. It's the day! Today's the beach! Shooting out of the covers, the 'prince' quickly got ready his belongings for the stay at Hunny's beach-house. He's hoping that things will go better than the previous time the club went to Kyoya's…although, that was where he found out about Haruhi's hidden fear. It was a very good trip for him.
Then, grabbing his bag, he rushed out and ran down the main foyer- only to get stopped by one of his maids.
"Master Tamaki, where are you going in your pajamas?" she asked raising an eyebrow, tapping her feather duster on her chin curiously.
Blushing like Tohru would, Tamaki shrugged sheepishly and ran back upstairs; he got dressed in simple light-wash designer jeans and a light green baggy three-quarter sleeve shirt, he paired with silver flip-flops. Clearly unlike 'commoner' boys, rich ones know how to dress properly… Now, clad in clothes worth more than someone's house, Tamaki ran outside into his limo and drove to meet the rest of the club and the Sohmas. He was thrilled to not only have the normal hosts, but also Shigure and Ayame! This would definitely by the most successful beach trip the club has ever had. He just knew it.
Pulling up to Ouran, Tamaki quickly did a 'mirror check' before rolling down the window and smiling as the other hosts approached.
"Hey boss." the twins smiled slyly and winked as they leaned in and whispered, "Is someone going to have some fun with Tohru and Haruhi?" Tamaki's eyes widened and he started shaking his head repeatedly, spazzing as the rest piled into the sleek car.
"N-no- why would you shady twins even think that! Gentlemen do not treat ladies in that manor!" he babbled turning bright red, as the twins smirked.
"In what manor sempai?" Haruhi asked, raising an eyebrow as the two cracked up in the background.
"T-this is so," Kaoru started
"PRICELESS!" Hikaru finished, as they hung onto each other, catching their breath as they limo started moving. Haruhi just rolled her eyes and sunk into the seat in-between a busy Kyoya and a cake eating (yes, he eats it in cars too) Hunny. Mori was keeping a watchful eye, while the twins and Tamaki got into a small argument. Yep, this beach trip would definitely be normal.

Kyo and Yuki practically kissed the ground as they collapsed out of the car. Those two were arguing (as usual), Yuki about Ayame, and Kyo disagreeing with whatever he said. Shigure and Aya were talking, or 'roleplaying', in the front seats about different costumes Ayame recently got in his shops. The weirdest so far: 'naughty bee-yotch schoolgirl' and 'sassy yet sexy business woman'. Tohru felt very uncomfortable throughout, especially when Ayame brought her into it as a model. Let's just say that the idea didn't go very well with Yuki and Kyo… Momiji and Haru were in the very back of the large van, the small first-year going on about how cute the girls, and Tohru, would look in swimsuits (that didn't fly well either) while Haru quietly nodded his head in agreement.
"Tohruuuu, will you go swimming with me later?" Momiji asked skipping out of the car, and circling around said girl eagerly.
"Uh, well Momiji…" Tohru trailed off, twirling her fingers around her hair nervously. Looking down at the boy was like looking at a baby bunny rabbit…those big brown eyes…"Ok!"
His face lit up as he spun around and smiled, but then stopping in his tracks at the sight of how large Hunny's mansion was; and this was just the BEACHHOUSE!
It was tall and long, bright white with about twenty or so windows in the front, overlooking the grassy front lawn filled with flowers of all colors. Three tan pillars were holding up the main entrance, which was marked by two solid wood doors reading 'Hanninozuka'. It was AMAZING! Tohru almost passed out at just one look. But…where was the beach? It looked like a normal 'house' in the front during spring!
"S-should we knock?" Tohru asked approaching the large doors wearily, eyes scanning up and down the wood.
Yuki looked at her comfortingly and replied, "I will." He went to do the honors, but Kyo beat him to it ('stupid cat' 'damn rat'). A few seconds later a tall, gaunt butler answered and greeted the Sohma clan- showing them to the sitting room.
"The master and his friends will be down shortly. They ask that all of you specifically get into your swim attire." With a curt nod, he left.
Sighing, Yuki and Kyo agreed, taking out their swim trunks. Funny, Tohru never really did see them ever shirtless- only a short glance before she turned around because the rest wasn't covered…
This will be fun! Everyone will be playing in the sand and enjoying themselves! Tohru smiled as she looked for her swimsuit, but couldn't find it. No, no, no NO! Rummaging through her bag again, she noticed she forgot to pack it. This was not a good sign. She sighed, plopping down on the toilet seat and thought about a possible excuse, when voices were heard outside. Everyone must have come down. What could she do!
Opening the door and walking out, Tohru blushed like crazy. Every boy (except Kyoya) was shirtless, displaying a very nice six-pack- and for Shigure and Ayame, chest hair. Which was extremely shocking for Tohru to see…
"Tohru, why aren't you dressed?" Momiji asked curiously, playing with the drawstrings to his trunks.
"Well….Imisplacedmyswimsuit! I'msosorryandIdon'tmeantobeabother!" Tohru blurted out a little too quickly for everyone to catch on, except two twin devils.
"We could help with that Tohru!" Hikaru and Kaoru grinned as each took an arm and dragged her out. Kyo glared and automatically stormed off after them, but the twins got their prey, and were gone. This wasn't a good thing…

The twins planned this since the Sohma boys stormed out when Ayame first showed up. It was Hikaru's master plan, but Kaoru quickly caught onto it and gave it a clever name- Operation Get Tohru a Cuter Look Then She Already Has! Then they would figure out who was crushing on her.
"Right this way!" they pushed her into a room and waited for the maids to find Tohru a suitable swimsuit, the door closed for privacy. But then again, these were the twins we're talking about… Putting an ear on each side of the door, the 'little devils' listened in and caught bits and pieces.
"…this one good?" That was a maid.
"I-it's better than the string…"
"How about with this?"
"Ooh! That's so pretty! But would the Hitachiins mind?"
"Of course not! You're ready!" With that the door flew open and out came Tohru. She was blushing slightly, aware of the two-piece's slim cut. It was a forest green color, with gold lining around the edges and matching string tied in bows along the sides of the bottom. Her hair was put up in a high ponytail, with a green ribbon inserted to hold it all up. A flowery pink wrap was around her waist, one leg completely revealed up her side. She looked stunning.
"S-so?" she asked, looking down at the twin's reactions.
"You look," Hikaru started.
"Gorgeous…" Kaoru finished both in their matching swimwear, "Let's take you outside." With that, the three made their way onto the sunny shores of Hunny's private beach.
