The Punishment

Hey all. I'm really busy now. Had a lot of tests before the 4th term ended and now I'm in my 5th and final term. So I have MCAS for Math and then finals. So I might not update a while after this. Also, once vacation starts my story is going into hibernation. I need a break too...don't worry I'll be back by September when school starts. I might be able to type up a chapter or two during break...it depends on where I'm going and what my mom says. She might ban me from the computer all vacation. Anyways enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 14: Stripped

A few weeks had passed since the time I broke down. I made sure that I wouldn't cry in front of any of the Hosts again. I got my revenge on my brothers and I, surprisingly, got away with it. Dad probably felt bad for me so didn't think it would be fair to punish me. My mother had planned a few dates that I would meet possible suitors and have an evening with them. That meant I would have to dress up and pretend to be polite. Maybe if I acted really boring the suitors wouldn't want to marry me. It was worth a shot. My first "date" would be in another week.

Haruhi had invited me over to her house. It was a rare thing but I enjoyed time with her. After school we walked to her home and she made tea. This was the only time the other members wouldn't be bothering us. Haruhi is a tomboy but she also needs to talk to girls too. I, also, needed a break from the males in my life. She had just set some cups down when the door opened.

"Haruhi, I'm home~" I blinked. A woman or man or um, I'm gonna call the thing an it for now, had an overly high voice. It had long wavy maroon hair. It wore a long dark purple skirt and a lilac shirt. Really I think it was a man but was dressed like a woman. I didn't say anything.

"Hi, dad." So I assumed it was a he. I guess cross-dressing is a family thing. Haruhi's father looked at me for a while. I guess he was trying to size me up or something. Then in a flash of purple he was right in front of me and holding both of my hands.

"Hello, I'm Haruhi's father but please call me Ranka. You must be Haruhi's new friend."

"Uh." I was really surprised with his attitude. He was kind of like Tamaki but hopefully not too much. I stared wide eyed at him.

"Don't be shy. I'm just so glad Haruhi is hanging out with a girl instead of that idiotic blond so-called prince." So he knew I was a girl. Maybe it was because he cross-dressed or something. Maybe us cross-dressers just send off another wave, ha.

"Um, nice to meet you. I'm Sam." Now that I was close to his face I could see that he was a dude. He made a prettyish woman, though.

"Haruhi, why didn't you tell me you had such a lovely friend?" Haruhi sighed and sipped her tea.

"I did tell you about the new host, Sam."

"I thought this Sam was a boy." Haruhi just shrugged her shoulders. Ranka looked back at me and looked at my clothes. Haruhi and I both wore the Ouran uniform for boys. She hadn't changed yet and neither had I.

"Dad we need to go shopping for food, again. I'm going to head out to the supermarket." I perked up. Going outside would be good for me. I just really couldn't stand people who were really energetic or loud, no offense to Haruhi's dad.

"I'll come with you too." I got up and started to slip on my shoes. Haruhi opened the door and waited for me to grab my bag.

"Why not stay for dinner?" Ranka smiled as I started to go out. I smiled slightly. It would be nice but I didn't want to impose.

"Uh, thanks for the invite, but maybe next time." He gave me a smile. I liked Haruhi's dad a lot more than Tamaki.

"I'll hold you to that, dear." I waved as the door closed. Haruhi and I started to head off to the supermarket. I haven't been to a supermarket since I left America. Isao usually did the shopping while I was in school.

"Your dad is nice."

"He's a little strange but he's a good dad." I smiled. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a black limo following behind us. It looked out of place in a small neighborhood like this. I watched it as we turned the corner. After a few minutes the limo came around the corner, slowly. I nudged Haruhi.

"Hey, does it look like that limo is following us or what?" Haruhi looked back and frowned. We sped up our walk. The limo seemed to keep pace with us. Now I definitely knew the limo was following us. I tugged at Haruhi's arm and started speed walk.

"Come on let's get out of here." Haruhi nodded as she glanced at the car approaching faster. We ran across a street not looking both ways. Suddenly the limo pulled up right in front of us. I had to skid to a stop and nearly ran into the door of the vehicle. The door opened and three pairs of hands grabbed Haruhi and I. The door slammed shut and I felt the car launch forward. My head spun as I sat up. I was surprised to see three girls sitting in front of us.

"Uh..." I glanced at their outfits. They wore the Lobelia uniform. That was one school mother had thought to send me to but when she found out it was all girls she decided against it. I'm glad I never did go because they apparently like to kidnap people.

"Oh, it's you guys." Haruhi didn't look so surprised. I looked at her as she looked at the three girls with a bored expression on her face. Before I could say anything the car stopped and I was whisked out of the car and into a building. I blinked and I was now in a large plain room with an arching window in the back.

What the? How did I even get in here so quickly?

"Hello, my dear." I turned to face a short-haired brunette girl. She was tall and had dark pale skin. The girl on her left was a girl with long, wavy, light brown hair. Her eyes were dark brown and her skin pale. The girl on her right was kind of sort. She had light brown hair and very dark blue eyes.

"Um, hi?" I had no idea what to say.

"What is it you want?" Haruhi asked. Her voice sounded like she was tired.

"Haruhi, you know them?" She nodded and sighed.

"They're girls from Lobelia and also leaders of the Zuka Club. It's kind of like the Host Club at Ouran. They've kidnapped me before."

"Like the Host Club? Isn't Lobelia an all girls academy?"

"Yeah."

"Oh." Well it wasn't really any different from what I did at the Host Club. I host girls there. The girls from Lobelia host girls, it's just that they all know they're girls.

"Um, well nice to meet you all. I'm Sam, a new host at Ouran." I smiled. The three girls studied me for a few minutes. Then the tall brunette leaned closer and grabbed my chin. My eye widened in shock.

"How sad that you must pretend to be a male. Those disgusting males at Ouran must've made you do this!" I blinked. She knew I was a girl. Well, that was a little weird.

"Um, well I did get blackmailed into being a host but I kind of like it now. I mean I chose to dress like a guy."

"Say no more! We must teach those hosts a lesson once and for all!" She dramatically pulled away. My eye twitched. Somehow this girl reminded me of Tamaki.

Haruhi grumbled, "Here we go again." I raised an eyebrow. What did she mean by again?

"I am Benio Amakusa, Lady of the Red Rose!"

"I'm Chizuru Mihara, Lady of the Lily of the Valley!"

"I am Hinako Tsuwabuki, Lady of the Daisy!"

"We are the Zuka Club!" They said together. I stared at them and my mouth started to twitch. I finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. Clutching my stomach I felt tears forming and fell to the floor. I hadn't laughed like that for a really long time.

"You-gasp-guys are-gasp-too funny!" I managed to get back up and calmed down slightly. Haruhi looked at me strangely.

"I'm sorry, it's just that you guys are so much like the Host Club. I never thought that a club like this existed." I wiped away my tears.

"So, why did you kidnap us?" Haruhi looked like she wanted to leave. We still needed to go grocery shopping.

"I've decided to rescue you poor maiden from the clutches of the evil Host Club. First, you two must change." Benio quickly tugged Haruhi and I back into another room full of clothes. This was not going to be easy to get out of.

(3rd person PV)

The Host Club, besides Haruhi and Sama, were all at Tamaki's home. Tamaki had just found out that Haruhi was at Lobelia Academy. How did he know? Well, sometime when Haruhi wasn't looking the twins put a tracking device on her cell phone. The blonde prince would've put one on Sama but after her threat last time he decided not to.

"What do we do! The Zuka Club has kidnapped my precious Haruhi, again! Sam isn't even answering his phone." Tamaki was almost breaking into tears. Hunny stood next to him trying to cheer him up with, what else, a slice of cake. Kyoya finally closed his laptop and stood up. He adjusted his glasses.

"We'll just have to go to Lobelia again and get Haruhi. I'm sure Sam is fine." Kyoya had a hunch that Sama might be with Haruhi. The other members quickly left the music room and went into a waiting limo. Of course they would travel in nothing less expensive.

Meanwhile, Haruhi was forced from her Ouran outfit into the Lobelia Academy outfit, again. Sama watched horrified as the three girls literally attacked poor Haruhi. She started to inch back against the wall and to the large window. Turning around she tried to open it. No luck, it wouldn't budge.

"And where do you think you're going, maiden?" Benio stood behind the frightened girl. She turned her head and gave a nervous smile.

"Uh, I need fresh air?"

"Later, you must put on this lovely uniform." Hinako said and held up the maroon colored skirt and sailor styled shirt. Sama gagged as she stared at the uniform. Sure it was better than Ouran's girl uniform but still.

"Um, I rather not."

"But you'll look lovelier in it than that awful Ouran outfit." Chizuru said with an evil gleam in her eye. The three girls now but their hands on Sama's shoulders and started dragging her back from the window. Sama tried to dig her heels on the floor but only succeeded in making black skid marks on the polished floor.

"I'll wear the stupid outfit! But I'm changing myself!" Sama quickly snatched the uniform from the girls and pushed them and Haruhi out of the room. She let out a sigh and stared at the uniform in distaste.

"Hey, boss? How do you know you're going in the right direction?" The twins said together as they tried to push a leaf from their face.

"I have this." Tamaki waved a small portable GPS. The screen had a green arrow pointing forward. Now normal people would think it weird and creepy that they had put a tracking device on their friend. Then again this was the Host Club.

"It says that Haruhi is in that building. Let's check the window." The Host Club members had disguised themselves as a bush. Not strange to see a moving bush. When they all got to the window they all popped up and peaked inside. Now if you all remember Sama is changing right now.

"Hey, Tama-chan, it's Sammy-chan!" Hunny pointed to the dark haired person. Sama had taken off her blazer and tie. She unbuttoned her shirt, her back to the window. The hosts all wondered why Sam was in Lobelia.

"The Zuka Club must've tricked poor Sam into coming with them! We must save my son!" Tamaki said while Kaoru and Hikaru pulled their president back down in their bush.

"What's he doing?" Kaoru furrowed his eyebrows while Hikaru shrugged. Sama pulled her shirt off. The hosts stared at the bandages on her back. Sama turned to place her shirt on top of her blazer when she saw five pairs of eyes stared at her, Kyoya was busy writing in his book. Their eyes went to her chest. Sama's mind moved sluggishly as she tried to comprehend why the host members were staring at her like that. She stared at her shirt then back at them. Finally something clicked.

"AHHHHH!" Sama screamed loudly that even the Host Club could hear it and they all closed their eyes and put their hands over their ears. Haruhi and the Zuka Club burst in to see what the problem was. When Benio saw the Host Club members out of the window she quickly grabbed Sama and covered her with a blanket, where she got the blanket no one knows.

"Get the freak out of here you idiots!" Sama screamed at the hosts even if they couldn't understand what she was saying. She screamed a few more choice words at the members as Haruhi dragged her out.

The hosts stared at each other. Tamaki was pale and stood frozen stiff. Hunny poked him and he crashed to the floor. Kaoru's face was bright red and Hikaru looked horrified. Kyoya wasn't fazed while Mori showed no expression, as always.

"S-Sam is a g-girl!" Tamaki shouted after waking from his frozen state.

"Yes, Sam is girl. Sam is actually Samantha." Kyoya stated matter-of-factually. Hunny laughed while hugging his bunny.

"Kyoya you knew as well?" He asked with large brown eyes on the vice-president.

"As well? What do you mean as well!" Tamaki looked at Hunny.

"Well, I knew Sam was a girl, so did Takashi." He smiled brightly. Now, how did Hunny know? Well, he hugs Sama a lot and once felt her, um, chest. His mind did the math and tada he knew. Mori found out when he threw Sama over his shoulder and also felt her feminine feature. So, Sama was betrayed by her physical feature that she so desperately tried to hide.

"Well, it does make sense now. I always thought Sam was a little strange." Hikaru said while leaning against the window. Tamaki looked lost. Then they heard a door slam.

"Tamaki Suou! Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachiin! Kyoya Otori! Takashi Morinozuka! Mitsukuni Haninozuka! You're all dead meat!" A furious, and now dressed, Samantha marched toward the hosts. Haruhi hurried behind her. All the host members sweat dropped. They were in so much trouble now.

Well that's the end of that chapter. So I might not be able to update for a while. Here are some reasons:

1. I have Physics MCAS this week.

2. I have Math MCAS a few weeks after the physics one.

3. My sis is coming home so she'll be using the only computer we have at home.

4. I have to study for finals.

5. After school is over I'll be at camp being a counselor...no Internet.

6. Visiting relatives so no computer while spending family time.

I'll try to update one more time but may not update until September. Yeah, I know that's a long time but I just don't have time. My mom doesn't like me to be on the computer so often. So, please don't be mad. Thanks to everyone who reads my story. *passes out cookies*
