Beach Fun

Arsinoe and Kyouya were talking a walk when she spotted a car rental place. Grinning mischievously, she stopped, contemplating.

"'Noe, what are you up to now?" Kyouya sighed, watching her.

"Why, whatever do you mean?" Arsinoe smiled innocently.

Kyouya shook his head and waved his hand, "Just don't end up in jail…" he muttered and started back to the hotel to get ready to go to the beach.

Arsinoe giggled and she called Tamaki, "Hey, I've got a plan," she said evilly.

Tamaki listened to her explain it and he chuckled, "I'll meet you there in ten minutes." With that, he hung up.

After waiting, Tamaki showed up and with Arsinoe they put on wigs and weird outfits. Going into the rental place, they rented a car. However, they took off the license plates while the guy wasn't looking. Jumping in the car, they took off at high speeds, whipping out of the rental building and down onto the highway, trying to take in all the sights at once.

The twins were getting bored waiting. Where the hell did Tamaki run off to with their water guns? They should have never left him in charge of bringing them. "How hard is it to remember to show up?" they asked together.

Suddenly, a red convertible pulls up behind the ones they came in. Tamaki jumped out, pulling off a ridiculous hat. He quickly went to the front and what looked like screw back on a license plate. Arsinoe got out of the car after popping the trunk. She quickly took off her sunglasses and a scarf wrapped around her head. Tamaki joined her at the trunk. While she screwed back on the plate, he was putting his hat and her scarf in the back. He then put his sunglasses on his head before taking off his shirt and pants (trunks underneath). Arsinoe stood back up and pulled her hair back in a ponytail.

"What…are they up to?" Haruhi mused.

Angela held a hand over her mouth, trying to hold in some laughter, "Whatever my sister ended up wrapping Tamaki into," she answered Haruhi.

Suddenly, ten cop cars go by with their sirens squalling and lights flashing. The group watching on the beach could feel their sweat drop.

"Excuse me," a cop car that was behind slowed down.

"What is it, officer?" Tamaki looks up casually.

The group held their breaths. "Well, a car fitting yours description was heading this way, but the plates taken off. As I can see, yours is on, and you don't have any ridiculous hat on. Did you happen to see it go by?"

"I'm sorry, officer," Tamaki suddenly lifts Arsinoe chin ever so light, "I was just so lost in my wife's eyes, I din't notice anything else."

"Oh, René," Arsi looked lovely into Tamaki's eyes, the two acting as if they were about to kiss.

The police officer clears his throat, "I'm sorry for interrupting. Thank you for your time." At that, he drove off.

Arsinoe and Tamaki leaned over, watching him drive away before they started laughing, "Oh, my God! I can't believe we really just got away with that!" Arsinoe pulled out a bag from the trunk.

Tamaki grabbed the water guns before closing the trunk, "I can't believe you called me by my French name," he sighed, "I can never tell you anything, Mama! Oh, hey guys! Did we miss much?"

Kyouya was the first to react. He pushed up his glasses and turned back to his laptop, "I don't even want to know."

"About time!" the twins ring together and go up to take their guns.

"Not even a thank you!?" Tamaki puts his hands on his hips. The twins look at each other before spraying tono in the face.

"Hey!" Tamaki pouted, wiping his eyes, "No fair! We can't do anything until the girls are properly dressed!" he pointed down at Angela, Haruhi, and Arsinoe who had just joined the other two girls.

"Properly dressed? I've got my swimsuit in my bag for goodness sake, I was just waiting until everyone was here," Angela looked at her sister who just whistled innocently.

"You're not going to get me in a swimsuit, anyway!" Arsi protested with her hands on her hips.

Haruhi shrugged, "That's not going to stop them…"

Indeed, she was right.

About 15 minutes later, because Angela was having trouble persuading her sister, the three finally stepped out of the changing room and started walking towards the boys.

Everything seemed to be in slow-motion…

Kyouya's glasses flashed and his mouth was parted slightly as Arsinoe flipped her hair dramatically. She was wearing a light blue bikini but with a white skirt flowing down one of her thighs. Her smirk caught his attention and he closed his mouth, pushing his classes farther up his face, and he took out his black book, writing frantically.

Hikaru was transfixed and nearly dropped his water gun as he saw Haruhi, wearing a white one-piece with pink swirls and petals decorating it. Putting a strand of hair behind her ear, she was smiling in a shy manner which made his body shiver.

While Angela was flipping her hair over her shoulder, Kaoru swallowed thickly and felt his blood boil pleasantly when his eyes crossed hers for a brief moment. He looked her over, taking in her dark red one-piece with black stripes in the sides. Dear god did she fill out that swimsuit perfectly…The coy expression made his heart leap and he gripped his water gun tighter, gulping. 'She's perfect for being in the Host Club…' he thought absently, trying to cool down.

The girls reached them, Angela and Arsinoe looking like mirrors of each other with their hands on their hips, and Haruhi had her hands clasped behind her back, "Well, are you happy now, Tamaki?" Arsinoe looked at the one who had started this whole fashion show.

Tamaki grinned, "Sure am!"

"Of course, he's completely unfazed…" Kaoru breathed to Hikaru.

"Oblivious bastard…" Hikaru grumbled back. He smirked at his brother and aimed his water gun. Kaoru smirked back and followed his lead.

The water war began.

Kyouya looked at his book buddy oddly, "Is there's something wrong, 'Noe?"

"N-No," she stood, still watching as the others play around. Arsinoe bit her lip, her heart racing. Angela screamed and went to hide under a blanket from the attackers. The scene was so familiar…. Everything suddenly went dark for her. She was again ten, just entering her sister's room.

"Where are you going?" Kyouya tilted his head while Arsinoe started walking away.

"I'll get you, Angela!" Hikaru laughed.

His brother was running with him, "You can't hide forever!"

As Hikaru passed Arsinoe, she quickly grabbed his gun from his hands. She suddenly elbowed Karou in the face. He fell back, his water gun falling out of his hands. Arsinoe caught it and held it in his face.

"What the hell?" Hikaru yelled, but his gun was also held up to his face on his approach.

Everyone was shocked and didn't know what to say. Hikaru saw her eyes dulled over, moving as if watching some scene; clearly she wasn't with them. "Angela, cover your eyes," she said huskily.

Angela realized with a startle what she was seeing and jumped up. "Oneechan, no!" she called out to Arsinoe. She hurried over, grabbing the gun which was pointed at Kaoru, "Arsi, stop!"

She began shaking before she dropped the guns, "Hikaru!" Tamaki called to the twin he was closes to. Hikaru fell to his knees. He never felt anything like that before. Knowing his life could end with just a gun to his face; even if it was a water gun, it was the mere realization that his life could be cut short. His brother felt the same way, but he was able to move more freely as he sat up.

Arsinoe shuddered before she tried to take off running. However, Kyouya used his body as a blockade, which she ran into. He put a hand on top of her head and cooed, "Welcome back, 'Noe."

She put her hands up and touched his chest. Arsinoe's hands moved down a bit before she closed her fist. "I-I'm so sorry, Twins!" she quickly twirled around and bowed.

Angela was at Kaoru's side, brushing his bangs from his face in an apologetic and worried manner, "I'm sorry, too…"

"S-Sorry for what?" Kaoru smiled shakily, "It is fine, nothing bad happened. We're all good…right, Hikaru?"

Hikaru was having help from Haruhi to stand, and he gulped, but smiled slightly, though it was strained, "R-Right. It's all good."

Tamaki decided to help out and grabbed Arsinoe's hand, "Wanna have a Sand Castle challenge with me, Mama?" he grinned soothingly.

Arsinoe watched him, uncertain, but when she saw Angela nod with a smile, she smiled back and nodded, "Sure…that sounds fun," she agreed.

"MWAHAHAAHAHA!" Arsinoe cheered from the top of the sand hill she had needed to make in order to keep her building going. She placed a makeshift flag at the top and made a super-star pose, "I have won!"

Tamaki sat on the sand, looking absolutely pitiful with his tiny sand castle. "You made a building, Mama," he shook his head and laughed.

"It actually looks like we could live in it," Kaoru laughed.

"Amazing!" Hikaru complimented and looked at the details.

Angela giggled, "Well done, Oneesan!"

Kyouya held up a camera, "How about a group photo?"

"But…you won't be in it, Kyouya," Haruhi frowned.

"That's the magic of Photoshop," Kyouya smirked and waited for all of them to get where they wanted.

He snapped the photo, and the day was perfect.
