"Kir-chan!"

"..."

"Get up, Kir-chan."

"..."

"Kirike! It's time for morning practice, get up!"

"Oooff!" I gasped as Hunny jumped onto me. "Okay! I'm up so get off." I mumbled sleepily as I tried to push Hunny off me.

Hunny smiled as he grabbed my wrists and pinned them next to my head, "morning lessons have started. Lesson one: try to get me off of you!"

"Not funny, Mitsukuni," I hissed as I thrashed around helplessly in my bed.

"I'm being serious," Mitsukuni said, turning into dark Hunny.

What a pain! I shouldn't have to deal with this first thing in the morning. "Fine, have it your way!" I grunted before rolling off the bed, knocking Hunny off with me. "Hah! I got you!" I panted triumphantly as I sat on top of Hunny.

"Good job, Kirike," Hunny said with a smile as he laid underneath me on the floor.

After getting off of Hunny, I pulled him up and pushed him out of the room saying, "go to the dojo. I'll join you after I've changed."

"Kay!" Hunny said happily before leaving for the dojo.

I sighed before starting to change. After three days at Ouran Hunny had decided that I had gotten used to my new schedule and should therefore start training with him. So for the last week and a half, I've been getting up early and practicing. I guess by now I should have finally gotten used to it but I still don't like having to get up early.

Once I changed into the karate uniform Mitskuni had gotten me, I jogged down to the dojo. Once there I warmed up before joining Hunny. With the smile of a grade-scholar and the brutality of a merciless coach, Hunny ran me through the morning exercises.

As we finished the last exercises, Hunny looked at the clock and said, "we have ten minutes left. Do you want to spar with me?"

After taking a drink from my water bottle I answered, "sure, but don't go easy on me this time."

"I won't," Hunny said cheerily. "You have enough skills to hold your own against me."

After saying this, both Hunny and I took on offensive stances before springing at each other. Hunny's first move was his infamous bun-bun kick which I expertly dodged by stepping to the side and hitting his extended foot. Mitsukuni used the downward momentum to do a front flip before landing on his feet and pivoting around, just in time to block my volley of kicks and punches. Grabbing my right arm during the middle of a punch, Hunny pulled me forward to strike but I escaped by swinging my left foot into his arm before somersaulting on the floor to put some distance between us. As I jumped up, Hunny charged me and I took a step to the side before round-housing him, sending him flying to the floor.

Yes! I thought as I followed my kick up with a powerful punch. But right as I leaned down to strike, Mitsukuni grabbed my arm, pulled it down and backwards, flipping me before kicking me in the back, knocking my breath out of me and sending me flying. I landed on my back with a thud that resulted in my vision blurring. By the time I regained my senses, Hunny was sitting on top of me, pinning my arms and legs to the floor with his limbs.

"I win!" Hunny said triumphantly.

"Yeah, you win," I said breathlessly. "Now get off me!"

"As a penalty, you get to make me an extra special cake today at the host club!"

"Wait! Why do I have to-"

"Of course if you don't want to we can always have another match."

"N-no, I'll make you a special cake," I said in defeat.

"Yippee!" Hunny exclaimed as he bounced around the room while I downed half my water-bottle.

Thinking bitterly to myself, I assessed mine and Mitsukuni's match. It's true that Hunny didn't hold back this time but he also wasn't trying either... What a frustrating guy! I sighed.

"You lost, didn't you? No surprise there." I shot a glare up at the speaker who was no other than the annoying brat, Chika.

"I don't want to here that from you, especially when you haven't even beaten Mitsukuni once yourself." Turning red, Chika stammered in anger as I arrogantly continued. "Of course it's even worse for you. You've lived with Mitsukuni for, how many years? Fourteen, and you still haven't beaten him once, at least I've only known him for half a year. Looking at it that way, you are way more pathetic than I am."

"You little snotty brat! Why don't you put your fists where your mouth is and spar with me?! That'll prove who's the strongest."

"That's the first sane thing I've ever heard you say," I said as I jumped to my feet and ran over to the center of the room. "Let's fight!"

While my last sentence hung in the air, I rushed up to Chika and socked him in the gut, knocking him backwards. As he fell, Chika grabbed my fist and twisted it, causing me to fall awkwardly besides him. Chika jumped to his feet first and kicked me as I stood up. I rolled with the momentum before springing up and engaging Chika with a volley of quick punches which he defended and returned.

Without warning, Chika suddenly pulled back and pulled out a long poll that he had hidden somewhere. Oh, dang! I thought as he started striking at me. I blocked the first few but the poll left bruises on my arms so I started dodging his blows. Keeping my movements random, I utilized every inch of space around me dodging his blows with high jumps, low ducks, and everything in between.

During this dance of dodges, I would occasionally throw a punch at Chika but ultimately Chika's extra reach prevented me from doing anything substantial. Then, Chika managed to graze my feet and I fell backwards onto my rear. "Hah! I win!" Chika yelled triumphantly as he slammed down the poll over my head.

CLAP! Chika's eyes grew round with shock when he saw that I had caught the poll between my hands. With eyes blazing, I hissed, "wrong!" Then I pulled the poll towards me, kneed Chika in the stomach, then threw him to the floor. "I win!"

"Ha, ha, you let your guard down to soon, Chika," Mitsukuni said walking up to us. "You would've won if you hadn't." Then glancing at the clock he said, "if we don't leave now we're gonna be late."

"Alright, we're coming, right Chika?" I said, extending my hand to help him up.

"Right," Chika mumbled grudgingly.

XxxxxxX

"Ugg, so stiff," I mumbled to myself as I rubbed my sore arms. School had ended and club activities had already started. I had already finished making the treats and delivered them to the host club so right now I'm in the process of making strawberry shortcake for Hunny.

Note to self: If you're gonna spar with Hunny, make a cake for him ahead of time.

Sucking up the pain in my arms and legs (honestly, I hurt everywhere), I finished up Hunny's cake. After topping it with whipped cream and a strawberry cut into a rose, I set off to the host club to bring it to Hunny.

I scanned the room as I entered and was relieved to see that it was fairly empty since it was almost closing time; only Tamaki, Kyoya, and Haruhi had customers.

"Mitsukuni," I said setting the cake in front of him, "here's your cake."

"Thanks, Kir-chan!" he said, stuffing a piece of cake into his mouth. "It's yummy!"

"That's good," I said with a small smile as a slight blush crossed my face.

"Why does Hunny get special treatment?"

"And since when is he Mitsukuni?"

"Yeeep!" I said jumping straight up and clasping the back of my neck. Turning on my heals, I glared at the twins who were standing behind me with a bored look on their faces. "What was that for, you doppelgangers! If you ever do that again I'll pound you!" I said rubbing the back of my neck where I could still feel their breaths creeping down my spine.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," they said flippantly, waving my anger off. "Just answer our questions."

Practically shaking with anger, I said through gritted teeth, "I made him the cake because I lost when we were sparring this morning and I sometimes call Hunny 'Mitsukuni' beacues that's what his family calls him!"

"Why didn't you just say that?" The twins asked innocently, shrugging their shoulders. Then they each grabbed one of my arms saying, "though that explains the bruises all over your arms. You definitely lost."

Seething with rage, I yanked my arms free from their grasp and said, "you're gonna regret that, jerks!" I approached the twins and pulled back my fists, preparing to punch them saying, "clench your te-"

But before I could finish my sentence, Hunny popped up in front of me and stuck a piece of cake into my mouth. "Here, Kirike, have some cake. It will make you feel better!"

My eyes flew wide in surprise and my cheeks turned rosy as I mumbled after swallowing, "Mitsukuni..."

"Oh, you have some cream on your lips," Hunny said as he swiped his thumb across my lips before sticking his cream-covered thumb into his mouth. "There!" Hunny said smiling at me.

My face and ears flared red as the twins burst out laughing. "Shut up!" I yelled. Then I grabbed my bag and as I ran out of the room I shouted over my shoulder, "I'm leaving now. I'll be waiting outside."

I heard laughter erupt from the twins as I left the room. Those accursed twins! I thought as I stormed down the hallway. But when I reached the staircase, I paused briefly and touched my lips, then, as I ran down the stairs, a small smile crept onto my face.
