[Teruko's POV]

"Welcome back ladies," we all greeted.

Today, we were outside and dressed for what I assume was Japanese sports. In all honesty, even after all of the years of living here, I still haven't quite grasped all of the sports they play here.

I let out a slight sigh when we all started separating, bringing my guests to a secluded area. My sigh hadn't been loud, so I knew they hadn't heard.

"Are you alright Teruko?" one of my guests asked as I climbed a tree. There had been a blanket set down near the tree for the ladies to sit on.

"Why do you ask?" I asked her, sitting on a branch. I couldn't do much, seeing as how I had my outfit on and I didn't want to ruin it.

"You just seem to be upset."

The two other girls who were with her nodded their heads.

"But…I feel fine…I think…"

"How about you just relax today Sempai?" the youngest girl suggested. "Just in case."

I nodded my head. "I guess you're right." When I shifted my weight, I just suddenly felt dizzy, causing me to lose my balance and the three girls to let out a scream as I fell backwards from the, thankfully, lowest branch.

"Teruko!"

"Are you alright?"

"I'll get some help!"

"It's alright," I told the three girls, pulling myself up. They crowded around me.

"Are you sure you're alright?"

I nodded my head, moving one of my hands to rub the back of it. I let out a weak laugh. "I fall from high places all of the time. This was nothing."

"Is everything alright over here? I heard screaming."

"I scared the ladies by accident," I told Kyoya.

He raised an eyebrow at me. "And how did that happen?"

"I fell out of a tree again."

He shook his head. "You have to be more careful Teruko."

I rolled my eyes, but nodded nonetheless. "Why else did you come this way? The others are strangely quiet, so I know something happened."

Kyoya let out a sigh.

"We'll have to close early again."

I stood up with a wince and bowed to my customers. "I'm sorry my ladies. It seems something has happened to cause us to close early today."

"It's alright," one of the girls told me.

The other two nodded.

"I hope you're not hurting too much Sempai."

"I'm fine," I answered with a grin. I led the girls to the doors and waved until they were out of sight. Once they were out of sight, I let out a groan and rubbed my back.

"Are you alright?" Kyoya asked, leading me through the school to where I assume we were going to see the damage done by Tamaki.

I say Tamaki, because more than likely it was his fault.

"Yeah, I'm fine. My back hurts a little bit."

"I can check it for you once we get back to the clubroom if you'd like."

I shook my head. "I'll just relax for a bit once we get back."

"Alright." Kyoya opened a door and I followed him in, seeing we were in the newspaper room. A student, the newspaper club's president, was sitting at a desk with two others by his side. He had an ice pack on his head and there was a broken window behind him…

I can only guess what happened.

Shrugging, I sat on a stack of newspapers, leaning my back against a stack behind it. I closed my eyes, listening to everyone talk about something that just seemed like a dull buzz.

[Haruhi's POV]

"Come on Teruko, we're leaving," Kyoya said.

There was no answer, making everyone in the room turn to where Teruko had been sitting. He was still there, but his eyes were closed and he was in a deep sleep.

"Mori Sempai?" Kyoya asked, looking at the older student.

He nodded, picking Teruko up bridal style and carrying him with us to the club room. At the club room, he was laid on the sofa while we dealt with Tamaki.

Tamaki Sempai wanted to help the newspaper club from breaking up, saying they were like a family. The rest of us finally cracked after he gave us his puppy dog look and Kyoya Sempai had set some rules.

"Teruko, what about you?" Tamaki asked, poking said host.

Teruko groaned a bit before opening his eyes and sitting up.

"Yes Tamaki?" Teruko asked, his eyes half lidded.

"Do you agree helping the newspaper club would be best? They're like a family."

Teruko smiled a tired smile. "Do you want to help them?" Tamaki nodded. Teruko nodded as well, reaching one of his hands out to touch Tamaki Sempai's cheek. "Then I agree with you. You know…I-"

Suddenly Teruko closed his eyes and fell backwards onto the sofa.

"Uh…" Tamaki blinked as we all stared at Teruko.

Teruko Sempai was fast asleep yet again.

"That's the second time he's done that," Kaoru suddenly said, making everyone look at him. He was looking at Kyoya Sempai.

Kyoya Sempai nodded. "I have a feeling he won't remember it when he wakes up either."

[Teruko's POV]

I rolled onto my side, not bothering with opening my eyes, and fell off of the sofa. There was some laughter almost immediately after.

"Um Sempai?"

"Yes Haruhi?" I asked, laying face first on the floor.

"Are you alright?"

"Just fine…I enjoy waking up and rolling onto the floor."

"Well I hope you're ready for tomorrow, since we're allowing the newspaper club to interview us," Kyoya told me.

I pulled my body up and sat backwards on the sofa, facing the table Kyoya was sitting at. "Since when did this happen?"

"You were right Sempai, he didn't remember," Hikaru said.

"Remember what?" I asked, tilting my head.

"You woke up and agreed with Tamaki on helping them."

I stared at Hikaru. "I did?" He nodded. "I don't remember."

"You were doing things in your sleep again," Kyoya informed me. "Have you been getting enough rest lately?"

I nodded my head. "Plenty of sleep. Actually for the past few days, I've been getting more sleep than usual."

"You've also been sleeping a lot around here," Kaoru added.

I shrugged. "Maybe I've overworked myself and the stress got to me. I'm sure I'll be better in a few days. No biggie."

I was hanging upside down in the tree above where Tamaki was hiding his eyes.

Everyone in the host club, minus me, was playing the Japanese version of that game I've heard of called 'Red Light, Green Light'. I was actually helping Tamaki out to make sure no one was cheating. I almost lost my balance once though because of the twins' silly poses, since I was laughing a bit.

"Over here you two," I called to the twins, seeing as how Tamaki stopped playing the game to talk to the newspaper club. They walked over and I let go of the branch with my hands, to rest them on the twins' shoulders. I let go of the branch then immediately after pulled my body weight so I could land on my feet again.

When my feet were on the ground, I wobbled very slightly before getting my balance back. Thankfully I had been behind the twins, so nobody noticed. I pat both of their shoulders as I passed to talk to Haruhi for a bit.

Just vaguely I heard Tamaki talking about a commoner that was happy reliving his childhood.

"Great, he's looking at me," Haruhi grumbled, making me laugh. "I should probably start acting like I'm happy to be here."

"You are though," I told her with a grin, putting my hand on her shoulder. "Because I'm here."

Tamaki continued on talking about some random things that almost no one around cared to listen to. Haruhi and I were actually having a conversation while tuning him out.

"So, I was thinking maybe I could go to your house later today," I told Haruhi. "I've been spending so much time in my gym that I haven't visited you in a while."

"Sure. I'm sure Dad won't mind the extra company. Besides, he really liked that cake you made the last time you visited."

My cheeks flushed a little in embarrassment. "Did he really? All I did was follow the directions."

Haruhi let out a little laugh. "Yeah. He said he couldn't wait for you to visit again and make him another cake."

It was my turn to laugh. "Next time I'll make a cake especially for him. I'll make any flavor and color he wants."

"Please don't spoil him."

"Aww, but that's what I'm here for."

We both laughed together until the people from the newspaper club walked over to us.

"You're Fujioka and Naoki, right?" the newspaper president asked, making us look at him. "You wouldn't mind if I asked you two a few questions, would you?"

"Um…sure."

I nodded my head in agreement.

"So why did you join the host club?" he asked Haruhi.

"Well, um, honestly I joined cause I was forced to."

"You're an honor student on a scholarship, correct?"

"Um, yeah, I am."

"Well this seems to have nothing to do with me," I stated with a yawn. "I'm just gonna go play in a tree or something." I started walking away, intent on buying water or something from the cafeteria.

On my way back, I ended up getting dragged backwards by the twins.

"We're going this way," they told me together.

"Why?" I asked, being dragged.

"They're planning something."

We reached the newspaper club room and all took spots in the room. I sat on the highest stack of newspapers, drinking my water.

"Please don't fall asleep this time Teruko," Kyoya told me, sitting on some lower stacks.

I rolled my eyes. "I won't." He gave me a look. I took a sip of my water. "I promise."

The doors suddenly opened.

"So we were right all along," Kaoru said. He was sitting on the desk in the room with Hikaru.

"You two," the newspaper president growled.

"Well, I guess it was pretty obvious," Hikaru stated.

"The boss is the only one who hasn't caught on yet," Kaoru continued. "He can be really dense when it pertains to anything about himself."

"I should warn you, if you threaten him, there will be consequences."

"Are you ready to have the Hitachiins and every other club member's family as your enemy?"

"I knew it," the newspaper club president said. "You're nothing but his lackies. Tamaki's holding his parent's power over all of you."

"That's not true," Honey Sempai said from behind him. "We don't hang out with Tama-chan because of his parents. We love him. We all like being around him and that's why we chose to be here."

"He may be a hopeless idiot, but even so…" Kyoya trailed off.

I smiled. "He's our hopeless idiot."

"I'm thinking of starting up a host club next year and would be delighted if you joined."

"Well?" Hikaru asked, pulling me from the memory of Tamaki asking me to join the host club.

"What will you do?" Kaoru asked.

"Please leave Tama-chan alone, okay?"

"We're all very close to him," I added in.

"I'll get you all. It's not just about him anymore. I'll write an article that'll ruin all of you!"

"Go ahead, be my guest," Kyoya told him, walking over to the First-Aid kit on the desk. He picked it up and turned it over, opening a secret compartment on the bottom. "Although, what do you think we should do about this little disk?" He pulled a disk out of the compartment. "You see, it's been here since yesterday. And it recorded everything."

"President," one of the newspaper lackies whined.

"Just give up already," the other begged.

The president of the newspaper club fell to his knees.

I just drank some of my water.

"Let me explain it to you in terms you can understand." Kyoya walked over to the club president. "You would do well to remember that the Ootori group and the Hitachiin family alone own enough stock to remove your father from his position as president of the Komatsuzawa publishing firm. However, we would never do something like that. We are not like you. What we strive for is fundamentally different."

The rest of the host club left the room, me just getting off of my stack of newspapers.

"Let me tell you something now," I told the three guys in the room. I turned my eyes to them. They winced at the anger in my eyes. "Stay away from Tamaki and the host club. Got that?" They all nodded. "Good."

I left the room, taking my time in walking, since I had no idea where the others actually went to find Tamaki. Since they'd eventually have to go back to the club room, I headed there, feeling my phone vibrating in my pocket.

"Yes?" I answered, opening the doors to Music Room Three.

"Master Teruko, your medicine is ready."

I walked over to the sofa, sitting down heavily on it. "Thank you Doctor Ryuu, I'll go get it before I head home today. Thank you…for everything…"

"It's no problem at all Sir."

"No really. You've been so much help, especially within this past year. You've made sure nobody knows about it…"

The door to the club room opened.

"It's what I'm here for."

"I have to go. I'll be there in a little while." I closed my phone, looking over my shoulder at the others.

"Who were you talking to?" Haruhi asked, sitting down on the sofa.

I smiled at Haruhi. "Mrs. Naoki. She wanted me to come straight home so we could eat together tonight."
