May 21, 2014

Since the whole "confession" thing on the 18th after the Lobelia incident, Kyoya started to do subtle and not-so subtle things around her at the strangest of times. He even started to glare at the twins more often-and started to appear around her when she was trying to entertain her guests-specifically the male ones.

Here's this incident for example; lunch that very morning.

Alex had sat down next to Kyoya, Kaoru on her left with him on her right, Hikaru next to Kaoru, and ending at Tamaki who was at the opposite end of the table next to Kyoya. She had calmly pulled out a bento that Haruhi had helped her make, as the brunette was trying to teach Alex to cook during the weekends and on the days Alex spent the night, and opened it. It had white rice, a plain cheese omelet, with some tomatoes and, due to her original American nationality, mini hotdogs cut into octopus shapes out of boredom. She even had chopsticks because she wanted to eat like a "Japanese person".

Luckily she still had enough of Akari's memories to let her hold and eat with them correctly.

Kaoru was the first to question, calm and curious, "Was that homemade or did you have Haruhi make it for you?" Everyone looked interested at this point, and the girl shrugged.

"She helped me make it this morning; she's trying to teach me how to cook. Kinda why I've been staying at her place a lot." She grinned, "I'm kinda looking forward to eating it, since it's the first time I really cooked anything like this. It's probably not that good, though..." To prove her point, she cut off a piece of her omelet and picked it up with her chopsticks, raising it up to her mouth to eat it-only to blink when she found it gone.

Kyoya chewed for a few seconds, before commenting nonchalantly as he typed away on his laptop, "It's not that bad. You should give yourself some credit." Her face had turned a dark red, realizing that he had just leaned over and bit it off of her chopsticks.

Tamaki, of course, stood up and slammed his hands on the table, ranting away at Kyoya for "trying to taint his precious daughter with indirect kisses" and "stay away from her". Alex decided it was best not to mention that Kyoya had already tainted her with real-Her face turned a slightly darker shade of red-kisses.

Kyoya tried not to smirk, as he knew what the brunette was thinking about.

Kaoru, however, decided to be the nice one and asked curiously, a warm smile on his face as he looked down at Alex, "Is it alright if I try a piece? It doesn't have to be big." She pouted childishly, having wanted to be the first to try it, and sighed. "Fine..." He reached over and cut a piece of the omelet off with his fork, before sticking it in his mouth and chewing slowly.

A smile spread on his face and he swallowed, "This is really good, Alex. I'd have to say you're a natural."

She looked down, slightly embarrassed, "Th-Thanks..."

"What made you decide to learn how to cook?" Hikaru asked curiously, causing Alex to look up in surprise. She paused, not sure how to answer the question. Haruhi asked her the same thing.

A face popped in her head and she turned bright red.

"Who are you thinking about?" She squeaked, stuffing a hotdog in her mouth as she spoke quickly,

"Nothing! N-None of your business!" Kyoya's glasses flashed, the corner of his lips twitching up in amusement.

"Hey, I got an idea! How about we go visit Haruhi at her house this weekend! Alex can lead the way!"

"Uh, no. You can go, I'm not. I don't feel like getting glared at." Alex stated bluntly, Haruhi's blunt personality rubbing off on her.

Which is kinda why they were now dressed as policemen, as a policewoman, and why Alex had been trying to kill the twins earlier.

"What the hell is with this outfit! Why am I dressed as the naughty policewoman when you're all normal!?" Hikaru and Kaoru laughed as they moved over and rested their arms on her shoulders, their free hands on their hips.

"Didn't you know?"

"We figured all the guys would like to see you in it!"

"Hikaru...Kaoru..." They froze, realizing that they released her dark side again. A twisted grin formed on her lips as she said sweetly, cocking her head at them in an innocent fashion, "Do you wish to die?"

They both raised their hands up in a mock surrender fashion, but were both utterly terrified. Alex was pretty damn scary when she wanted to be, and her glare was almost on par with Kyoya and Mitsukuni's when they wake the two of them up in the morning before ten o'clock. Alex didn't like to be woken up either, but she didn't glare at them. She just refused to get out of bed and moaned and groaned and tried to bury herself underneath her blankets.

But when you made her angry...

It was actually much easier to make her angry now, than it was for the first few months. Having to deal with the Host Club and, we can't forget, bad experiences can change you.

Not to mention she's with Kyoya on a daily basis, and if you knew him well and pressed the right buttons, he's bound to rub off on her.

"Please don't kill us!" They begged, backing up and running to hide behind one of the couches. Two female guests that sat on said couch giggled, commenting,

"You really are like siblings, aren't you?" Girl number 1 asked with a smile. Girl number 2 said in a kind voice,

"You three are so sweet. Is Alex really a Hitachiin?" Alex's dark eyes vanished and appeared to become replaced with confusion. Girl number 3, who sat next to Girl number 2, frowned as she observed Alex.

She seemed...dark...as she glared at the brothers. It was probably nothing, but it was certainly different than the sarcastic, kind, and funny Alex that everyone had come to know.

Hikaru grinned, standing up and slinging an arm around his brother's shoulder, Kaoru doing the same. "We consider her one," Hikaru told the girl with a smirk, causing her to blush lightly.

Kaoru added with a smile, "We've been trying to get her adopted since last month," Alex whirled her head around and stared at them in surprise, "But the decision is really up to our parents."

Alex asked in surprise, tugging her miniskirt down a little from not wearing skirts often, "Wait, what? Seriously?" They grinned at her.

"Yeah. You have to meet mother first, though, before she comes up with her final decision."

"O-Oh...I didn't know that..." Made her wonder when she would actually meet Yuzuha Hitachiin. "Any idea when?"

Kaoru was the one who answered, "Sometime tomorrow, actually."

Hikaru then answered, a slight bitter tone to his voice, "Unless something with works pops up."

"Well, okay then." She then remembered her guests and practically jumped, startled at the realization. "Gah!" She exclaimed, before stumbling in her highheels as she tried to run to her guests that were waiting patiently for her.

Kyoya watched her out of the corner of his eyes and had to admit that her clumsiness and inability to walk properly in highheels was actually rather cute. However, he still wasn't a fan of having to watch Alex flirt with other guys, but it was her job as a Hostess. Besides, Alex was faithful and was honest with her true feelings. She wouldn't cheat on him.

Then again, the two weren't actually together, as he had never officially asked her to be his girlfriend. He wanted to, though, but it wasn't the right time.

That, and she was adorable when she was confused. Kyoya didn't feel like ruining his fun just yet. He wanted to tease Alex for as long as he could. He loved her reactions-his favorite one however had to be when she was washing dishes and he "offered" to help her.

Grinning at the boys, her regular guests Nagihiko and Daichi, along with a newcomer named Riku, she took the whip she had on her belt and stretched it out. "So, cause any trouble recently?" It was a simple, innocent question, but the whip she was holding caused dark blushes to spread across their faces as they stared at her.

Daichi, despite being the brave boy he was could still feel his heart racing, and stammered, "N-No, of-of course not, Alex! But, I-I did notice that you look really good with wavy hair." Alex looked surprised, slightly taken-aback by the sudden compliment.

She will never understand why he keeps complimenting her, despite how ugly she knew she was with her "beauty" mark. "Oh, uh, th-thanks..." He grinned, seeing her slightly flustered appearance. She looked good, she really did, and was actually rather tempting. But, he didn't want an angry Shadow King after him, nor did he want a repeat of the Christmas Dance. "Anyway-" Alex sat down and pressed her legs together, uncomfortable with her current attire. "I hear about the incident with Lobelia Academy. I'm glad you decided to stay at Ouran, Alexis."

Alex didn't really like that nickname, as it was more girly than what she would prefer, but a Hostess was a Hostess, and she had to do her job and keep the guests happy. She smiled at him, "Yeah, I'm glad I stayed too." A face flashed through her mind and for a brief moment, her eyes darted over to where Kyoya was standing. He was wearing the standard police uniform, however it was black with short sleeves compared to everyone else's bright blue and baby blues ones. Kyoya and Mori wore black, Tamaki wore a "princely" white one, Hikaru and Kaoru wore bright blue ones with long sleeves, and Haruhi and Mitsukuni wore baby blue shirts and navy blue pants.

Nope. Not thinking about it. No. Not happening. No, no, no, no, no! Gah! Jerk. Alex was not thinking about how good Kyoya looked in his police costume. Nope. No she wasn't. She swears that he's doing this just to spite her, sometimes, even if the police-them was the twins' ideas and Tamaki agreed to it.

She was snapped out of her thoughts when Tamaki called for everyone to get into their positions, the sounds of the door beginning to open. She quickly stood up and ran over, stumbling in her heels, and ran to her spot next to Haruhi and in front of Kyoya. She quickly pulled out a green rose and struck her pose, placing a hand on her hip while reaching out with her arm as though to offer the rose to the newcomer.

Alex ignored the pity she felt for the person at the awaiting end of the rose petals, and greeted in unison with a smile.

"Welcome!"

To her surprise, the guest was a little girl with blonde pigtails and big blue eyes. Tamaki was the one to comment, a hand on his hip.

"Oh, my. What an unusually young guests. Well, glad you're here," He extended a hand and gave a charming smile, "my little lost kitty cat." The girl entered the room and stopped right in front of Tamaki, blinking up at him with a look of awe and disbelief on her face. He leaned over and smiled at her, asking nicely, "Little kitty cat, why have you come to see us today?"

The little girl looked at the hosts, observing them closely before a blush appeared on her face. Alex opened her mouth to make a comment, when the little girl pointed at them and declared, "It's a reverse harem!"

Everyone froze as a cold wind blew into the room.

"This is a reverse harem!"

Tamaki was the first to snap out of it, hitting himself lightly on the side of the head as if to get water out of his ears, a nervous smile on his face. "That can't be right; I must've heard wrong. There must still be some water in my ears from when I went swimming."

Alex took a step back, nearly jumping in shock when her back pressed against Kyoya's chest, and looked up at he placed his hands on her shoulders, asking, "She-She didn't say what I think she did, did she?"

He had a frown on his face, his eyes hidden behind his glasses until he looked down at the brunette, and said, "It appears to be so."

Hikaru and Kaoru laughed in agreement, sticking their fingers in their ears.

"Water in the ears-that's gotta be it!"

"That must be what's wrong! There's no way this cute little girl could have said "reverse harem"! Something's going on with our ears."

The little blonde girl raised a finger and stated, "There's debauchery here."

Another cold wind blew into the room.

The girl seemed ecstatic as she jumped up and down cheering. "There's debauchery here, isn't there!?" She then started to list off the anime types, starting with Alex. "You're the dojikko!" She turned to Kyoya, "You're the glasses character, you're the boy-lolita and the stoic type," She had pointed to Mitsukuni and Mori, and moved on to a pair of very horrified twin brothers. "Twincest! And the book worm!" Haruhi froze, highly offended. She then turned to Tamaki, who took on a fatal position in fear. The girl's eyes widened, taking in the blonde hair and blue eyes. Tears formed in her eyes quickly, and she whispered, "Big...brother?" Suddenly Tamaki found himself holding a blonde girl who had tackled him by the waste, "My brother's blonde; you must be him!"

Hikaru exclaimed, slightly irritated, "You never told us about this!"

His brother moved over and demanded, "Since when did you have a little sister?" Tamaki looked alarmed.

"I don't! I'm definitely an only child-at least as far as I know!" Mitsukuni had pink flowers blooming around him.

"The more that I look at you two, the more you guys do look a like! You are both blonde after all, with blue eyes!"

Alex and Haruhi eyed Kyoya questionably as he held a hand up to his chin, muttering, "I want to know if "glasses character" is superior to "big brother"?" Alex couldn't help but laugh lightly at that, shaking her head at him. God, she loved that jerk. She kinda wished he had heard her when she told him she loved him the other day... But, then again, it was probably for the best.

"Does it really matter?" Haruhi asked irritably, a dark aura surrounding her. "I can't believe she called me a bookworm..."

Alex grinned at her, "Hey, at least you weren't called a "dojikko"! I don't even trip that often!" She gained multiple looks from that, and she made a noise of confusion. "What?"

Kyoya looked at her and opened up his black book, saying, "Need I list off all medical treatments and injuries you had received these past few months you've been attending Ouran Academy, Alex?" Her face turned slightly red and stammered,

"I-I don't get hurt that often...! Jeez..." She huffed and crossed her arms, refusing to look at him. Of course he would know whenever she got hurt-he's always the one patching her back up again!

Tamaki appeared tense as he awkwardly held the blonde girl in his arms. "Um, excuse me... You want to tell me your name, little one?"

"Kirimi!" Alex noticed Haruhi's face and laughed loudly.

"She's not a fish!" Haruhi blinked and made a face as she realized her mistake. The little girl was not some type of fish fillet in human form. She watched as Tamaki placed the girl down on her feet and knelt down in front of her.

"Ah, Kirimi-Chan, I'm afraid you made some sort of mistake. I'm really sorry, but I don't have a younger sister."

Both Tamaki and Alex had their heartstrings pulled when the little girl started to cry. Kirimi whimpered, "A-Are you sure...? You're-You're blonde just like me..."

Resist, resist, resist, resist! Tamaki and Alex both thought, the brunette taking a step back and running to hide behind Kyoya, grabbing onto his police uniform. He craned his neck to lock at her with a confused frown, but didn't complain. Tamaki, however, was much more weak-willed than this story's main first heroine, and gave in as tears welled up in his eyes.

"W-Well, that is true...Not to mention that we do have blue eyes, as well..." They could be siblings. Tamaki had a sensitive soul, and soon was hugging Kirimi tightly before laughing and spinning her around the room, her giggling along with him. "I give in! As of this moment, I am your new big brother!"

Alex spoke up quietly, asking Kyoya, "Is...Is she done crying yet?"

"Yes, why?" The brunette relaxed instantly, pressing her face against Kyoya's back as she cried out.

"I can't stand it! Every time a little kid starts to cry I feel so bad and just want to hug 'em and-and-gah! They're just so cute!" She pulled away and squealed, pressing her hands against her face. Alex loved little kids, at least when they weren't being a bunch of brats and complaining when they didn't get what they want. Kyoya looked at her with slightly surprised eyes, and pushed his glasses up and crossed his arms.

"You like kids?" He questioned, though he knew he probably shouldn't be so surprised. This was Alex, after all. The enigma of his love life. What is this woman doing to me? He thought, resisting the urge to shake his head at how he actually had a love life. Love, was the one feeling he thought he'd never experience. But, now that he has it, he refused to let the person who caused it go, and would keep that person at all costs. Possessive, yes, greedy? Maybe a little.

She seemed to realize what she was doing a froze, acting very like Tamaki in that instant. However, she quickly grew embarrassed and stuttered profusely, her face a cherry red. "Y-Y-Yeah...A-A little..." He raised an eyebrow, and deduced that a "little" meant a "lot" and figured that she'd want kids someday... Kyoya ignored that slight fluttery feeling in his chest and stomach that showed he liked that thought, and commented.

"Interesting."

Haruhi moved away from Alex and Kyoya's conversation, trying to figure out why those two were acting much more...comfortable around each other than the constant sexual tension that was around before, and told Tamaki dryly, "I know you get carried away by your emotions a lot, Sempai," Alex did the same thing some times, despite being more rational and logical than Tamaki, "but you can't just go around making such empty promises."

"Don't you listen to that mean 'ol Haruhi! I'm not irresponsible!" Kirimi laughed loudly as Tamaki ran around the room spinning her and throwing her in the air and catching her. Alex tensed a few times, feeling as thought Tamaki was going to drop her and was ready to run to catch her if that happened.

It was the same thing when...Alex tried to remember...her cat had kittens and every time one of them mewed, she'd freak out and check to see if they were okay.

"Come home with me and I'll look after you!"

Haruhi sighed and moved back over to Alex and Kyoya, questioning the duo, "What do you guys think we should do?" It had became a known fact that Alex and Kyoya were working together, rather than Kyoya managing the Host Club all by himself. Rather than just asking Kyoya for advice, they'd ask Alex as well if she was with him-which she usually was. If you wanted to find one, look for the other.

Alex spoke, resisting the urge to hold Kyoya's hand as she stood close to him, and said as she rocked back-and-forth on her heels, "Well...I say we should figure out her last name."

Kyoya nodded in agreement. "The first thing we should do is figure out if she actually has a brother and if he does go to this school." Tamaki froze and knelt down, hugging Kirimi to him protectively. The lights suddenly turned off and Alex jumped, squeaked, and stumbled backwards from surprise. Kyoya, taking advantage of the darkness, reached over and caught her by her hand, wrapping his fingers around hers. He pulled her to her feet and closer to him.

"Kirimi..." A deep voice called out, sending chills down their spines. "Kirimi..." The lights turned back on and Kyoya released Alex's hand before anyone could see, causing a small feeling of disappoint to flicker in her. However, until Tamaki realized he liked Haruhi, they wouldn't do anything that would alert the others of their relationship.

They weren't together, but they weren't exactly just friends, either. More...friends-with-benefits...if you need a title. A boy with wavy blonde hair and eyes the same color as Kirimi's poked his head in through the Black Magic Club door. He was handsome, and looked highly familiar. Alex grinned widely while everyone else look on in confusion.

"Nekozawa!" He turned to look at Alex in confusion, before smiling in greeting, still hiding behind the dark door. Everyone turned to look at Alex in shock, not sure if they heard her correctly. "Hey, hi!" She waved.

"Hey, uh...you sure that's Nekozawa-Sempai?"

Alex turned to look at the twins in confusion. "Uh, yeah...You don't recognize him? Same voice and face..."

They gave her sour looks-well, Hikaru did, Kaoru just frowned. Mitsukuni grinned.

"I remember now! The foreigner really is him! We saw him at the beach once, without his cloak and wig, remember!?"

Nekozawa approached his sister, smiling happily. "Oh, Kirimi..." He looked at her, about to step into the light when a two voices spoke.

"Young Master..."

"You forgot your cloak."

Just as his foot touched the light colored marble, he was suddenly dressed in a dark wig with black robes. Now everyone else recognized him.

"Nekozawa-Sempai!?" The twins, Haruhi, and Tamaki all exclaimed in shock.

"I told you!" Alex huffed, crossing her arms.

"Too much light means death for Master Umehito," The maid in the dark purple and white uniform spoke. The bald butler with the scar spoke next.

"And our little Princess still hates the dark." The woman continued, pressing her hands against her face as she spoke dramatically as though something tragic had just happened.

"Which is why they are called "Romeo and Juliet" of the Nekozawa family!"

Haruhi deadpanned, "Romeo and Juliet aren't siblings. I'm also fairly certain that their situation is quite different." The maid bowed dramatically.

"I know, but when I thought of the phrase I just had to use it! It was too catchy not too! I had hoped it would make it sound much more dramatic!"

The butler bowed to Tamaki, talking to Kirimi who was in the blonde man's arms. "Incidentally, we are charged with taking Miss Kirimi home. We looked everywhere for you, miss."

Alex couldn't help but think that this was seeming very familiar... She gathered it must have been another episode/chapter happening. She appeared to have zoned out long enough for the maid to give the lecture about the Nekozawa family being descendants from the Russian "Tokarev" dynasty.

"-every several hundred years, someone like Master Umehito, one who is charmed and taken by the darkness, shall be born. That legend may or may not be true."

"Is it, or isn't it?" The twins demanded. Nekozawa tried to approach Kirimi, but had to back up when she suddenly started bawling and crying at the sight of him. Alex winced. Poor guy...

The butler started to explain, "Due to his physical condition, Master Umehito is unable to approach his sister without his dark attire. But, on the other hand, Mistress Kirimi, who is terrified of the darkness, has only known her brother by the princely portraits she's seen of him around the mansion. Ever since she has learned of her brother coming to this school, she has been searching for him since. The thing is, though I have been assuaging her fears with tales of princes..."

The maid cut in with an embarrassed look on her face, "I eventually ran out of fairytails and had to read her shoujo manga! I'm afraid I got her terribly addicted to them!"

Alex about exploded. "Who the heck," She kept track of her cursing because of a child being the room, "reads a kid Shoujo Manga!? Haven't you ever heard of improvising?"

"Oh, I tried, but I'm afraid I was just not any good at it..."

The twins had to agree with Alex, glaring at the woman. "SO IT WAS YOU! What kind of maid are you!?"

"So Kirimi is afraid of Nekozawa, because he's all dark and scary, and he can't approach without making her cry." Alex stated out loud, trying to get all the facts straight.

Nekozawa likes dark places.

Kirimi likes light places.

Nekozawa hates light places.

Kirimi hates dark places.

Kirimi is scared of Nekozawa.

Nekozawa loves his little sister.

Kirimi cries every time she sees him approach.

"I can't figure out how to make a situation where they don't freak out at each other!" Alex yelled, scratching furiously at her head and messing her hair up as she knocked the hat off.

Hikaru and Kaoru proceeded to try and strip Nekozawa of his clothes, him screaming, "MURDEEEEERS!"

Mitsukuni then tried to close the curtains, to darken the room, but Kirimi ended up crying and screaming, "I hate the dark, waaah! Big brother save me!"

Kyoya commented, "By the way, someone's unhappy."

"Why are you two so different!?" Tamaki and Kyoya were opposites but they get along just fine! "Gah! I got a headache!"

"Wait a minute..." Haruhi seemed to have come to a conclusion as she turned to look at Nekozawa. "So Sashimi-Chan-"

"Not "Sashimi"!" The twins interrupted, while Nekozawa corrected her.

"It's Kirimi."

Haruhi continued, "She doesn't know you're her real older brother?"

Beelzenef looked distraught. Nekozawa soon went into a dark corner and cried.

The maid spoke, "We've spoken to her, but she refuses to believe us." Alex quickly moved over and patted Nekozawa awkwardly on the back, trying to comfort the poor boy.

Mitsukuni wiped the tears out of his eyes with his palms, "That's so sad! No wonder Neko-Chan is so upset..."

"It's painful," Nekozawa agreed, somehow managing to set up a dark altar within seconds. "Which is why I offered prayers, in hope that one day, that Kirimi will come to embrace...the darkness..." (A.N: Anyone else loves Nekozawa's voice? XD)

Hikaru and Kaoru spoke, eyeing the man strangely, "I think you've got it backwards, buddy." They told him.

"You should try to get accustomed to the light." Hikaru suggested, while Kaoru questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"What are you trying to do to your sister?"

The maid and the butler stepped forward, the butler speaking. "Come along, Mistress Kirimi."

The maid smiled. "It's time to go home." Kirimi burst out crying, whining and complaining.

"NO! I DON'T WANT TO GO WITH YOU; I WANNA STAY HERE WITH MY BIG BROTHER!" Alex unplugged her ears once the girl was done. She turned her head and her eyes widened at the look on Nekozawa's face.

His blue eyes were wide, glistening with unshed tears, and a pained look that resembled one of betrayal on his face. His shoulders were tense, and he appeared to be fighting back a sob. She could tell that he really loved his sister, and it hurt him to hear her say that she preferred Tamaki over him. His mouth opened and closed, grounding his teeth together to bite back a choked sob, and turned around and started to walk away.

Tamaki called after him, "Nekozawa-Sempai!?"

Nekozawa's voice was deeper than usual, thick and laced with pain, as he spoke. "It's okay...Don't worry about me, Suoh. All I want is for my-my sister to be happy. Just, please...make sure...make sure she gets the love she deserves!" He cried out and ran, making sure not to trip on his cloak, as the tears started to unwillingly fall down his face.

Poor Nekozawa... Alex thought, watching sadly as he ran. No person with siblings deserved that kind of treatment.

"Wait, Nekozawa-Sempai!" Tamaki shouted, but the doors to the hallway had already slammed shut.

Kyoya pushed his glasses up, saying, "Sibling relations are a source of problems in any family. However...Come to think of it," He began, causing everyone to look at him, "Nekozawa-Sempai did always take an interest in Tamaki for some reason..." He looked at the blonde thoughtfully, piecing all the pieces together. "Maybe it was because you were the ideal "brother" that Kirimi always wanted and idolizes you for that?"

Tamaki's eyes widened. He then shifted Kirimi to where he was holding her up with one arm-it was a wonder how he didn't drop her-and snapped his fingers with his free hand. "Mori-Sempai! Secure Nekozawa-Sempai!" Mori nodded and took off, slamming the doors open and causing Nekozawa to scream as he looked behind him.

Nekozawa quickened his pace, but was no match for the six foot tall Takashi Morinozuka.

"Hikaru, Kaoru; darken the room as much as possible!"

They saluted and started to mess with the curtains.

"Honey-Sempai, get the indirect lighting and some candles!"

The blonde grabbed a lamp and took off.

"Kyoya, cancel all all customer engagements!"

Kyoya pulled out his phone as he looked at the numbers in his book.

"Haruhi, Alex..." He turned to them and walked towards the girls, before handing Kirimi to them. "Look after Kirimi."

"Wait, what?"

"Huh?"

Kirimi complained, tearing up, "Big brother-!" Tamaki cut her off and spoke with a gentle smile.

"I'm sorry, Kirimi, but I'm not the older brother you're looking for...And I promise, the one you are looking for is even more handsome and princely than I am!" Nekozawa, trapped in Mori's embrace, looked at Tamaki in shock with wide, blue, teary eyes. "What I mean is, I'm not you're brother, but we...we are the Ouran Host Club Police!" He stood up and struck a pose with the rest of the club. Hikaru and Kaoru stood on either side of Tamaki, a hand on their hips, and another giving peace signs. Mitsukuni stood in front of Hikaru next to Tamaki, and was saluting. Kaoru stood next to Kyoya behind Tamaki, and Kyoya had his arms crossed.

Kyoya sighed, thinking, Why do I even bother to help people? It always made the situation worse-or even more dramatic.

Alex grinned, looked down at Kirimi, who was in Haruhi's arms, and placed a hand on her hip and pulled out the whip that was hanging on her belt, saying, "We're the O.H.C.P.D and we're here to help!"

He then remembered why.

Haruhi made a sour face, glaring at the entire club(Alex included) while Kirimi stared up at everyone in awe. Kirimi then asked a question curiously, an innocent smile on her face.

"Are you an Uke or a Seke?"

Everyone else felt a cold wind enter the club room for the third time that day.

Alex fell over, taking note that Seme was no included in that question. She stood back up and cried out, face a dark red.

"N-N-Neither!"

After regaining his composure, Tamaki spoke, only after placing Alex's policewoman cap back on her head after picking up off the floor. "Our mission is to rescue students in distress! It's a problem if mutually affectionate siblings can't be near each other! Nekozawa-Sempai!" He whirled around and pointed at Umehito, who look on with alarm. "You'll be accumulated to the light in no time, and simultaneously under my private authority, become the princely character of Kirimi-Chan's dreams!"

Nekozawa screamed, his face turning extremely pale at the thought of standing in the sun, as lightning struck down on him metaphorically.

Three days later...

"The boss has taken on the role of an extreme spartan," Kaoru commented in surprise, watching as Tamaki thrashed Nekozawa with a newspaper and then shining a flashlight in his face. "Didn't it occur that Nekozawa-Sempai might curse him?" That was a rare moment.

"Yeah," Hikaru agreed, but then questioned, "But what's the point in feeding a bunch of courting lines to his younger sister?"

Alex tried to cut in, "H-Hey, don't be so hard on him, Tamaki!" The blonde ignored her and she sighed, running a hand through her hair. "This is ridiculous..."

Kyoya spoke in amusement, "Looks like Tamaki is on top of things." He watched Tamaki yell at Nekozawa

"-there's no affection to your words! You must truly, honestly believe with all your heart, that your practice partner is Kirimi-Chan!"

Nekozawa sweatdropped, and pointed awkwardly to the bear dressed like Kirimi. "You may say that, but...that doesn't look anything like her. Her face isn't quite an earthly color." Mitsukuni laughed, agreeing with Kyoya.

"Tama-Chan's on a roll!"

"Yeah, but I still don't think the lines he's feeding him are appropriate to use on his sister." Hikaru spoke up, frowning. "I mean, have you ever seen me or Kaoru talk to Alex like that?"

"Yeah. The boss isn't training him how to be a brother, but how to be a host!" Kaoru exclaimed, shaking his head disapprovingly. "Honestly, how can he expect him to be able to win Kirimi-Chan over with those lines? Even if he didn't use the costume, she'd still be scared of him if he started spouting out stuff like that!"

Alex sighed and sat down on the floor, her legs to the side with her hands pressed against the ground. Her head was hanging down with her hair in her face, stress lines forming. "I give up...They're not listening to me..." The twins got up off of their stools and patted her on the back, offering words of comfort and idea of pranks.

They then came up with a perfect idea and ran out of the room and back in within two minutes, carrying a giant sock monkey puppet that they had dressed like Haruhi, only in the girl's uniform. They set the doll on the chair and spoke, both grinning.

"Hey, boss! Use your "eyes of the heart" and sweet-talk this Haruhi!" Tamaki appeared hesitant.

"Wait...this doll...is Haruhi?" It look nothing like her. The doll didn't have her big dark brown eyes and tanned skin. It didn't have her short, strawberry-scented chocolate colored hair. It didn't even have her petite figure. This doll was chunky and smelled like a barn animal.

"You should teach him by example!" Tamaki gulped, the doll's eyes staring at him lifelessly with no expression. Taking a deep breath, he channeled his mind's inner eyes and grabbed the doll's hand, saying,

"Haruhi...I-I...Haruhi, I-"

"If you're going to be doing disgusting things like this all day, can you play with Kirimi-Chan instead?" Tamaki snapped out of it and pushed the sock monkey Haruhi doll away, staring at the real Haruhi in alarm.

"H-Haruhi! You're the real one!"

"If you got time to do disgusting things like this, then surely you can spare some time to play with her for a while!"

The twins laughed as Tamaki was quickly sent to his corner of woe. From where she was standing, Alex let out a small cough before grinning. Kyoya place a hand on his hip, muttering.

"Tsk, tsk." He then looked at the short-haired brunette, but not before casting a small glance towards Alex. "Why don't you keep her company Haruhi? Don't you enjoy playing with kids?"

"Well, no. It's not like I don't like them or anything, but the past three days I've been doing nothing but reading Shojo Manga to Kirimi-Chan while Alex gallivanted around in here with you and the rest of the club."

Alex flinched and protested, "Not true! I helped out! In case you've forgotten, I've hung out with her all day yesterday! We played "house"." She grinned, looking quite pleased with herself. "Kirimi was my "daughter"."

Mitsukuni asked curiously, "Who was the father?"

Kyoya barely cast them a glance as he said nonchalantly, acting like it was part of an everyday conversation, "Well, naturally, I was. I'm not sure if you remember, but I had proceeded to help Alex care for Kirimi on the second day after I let Mori-Sempai in charge of keeping things in control."

Everyone gained looks of remembrance, and the twins grinned. They turned to look at Alex and teased, "Not Mrs. Ootori, Alex? You sure about that?"

Her face grew bright red and they laughed, only to shut up as she glared at them. They ran and hid behind Mori.

"Hey, Hey, can we play "house"?" Kirimi asked excitedly, causing Alex and Kyoya to stare at her. Her big blue eyes were wide and pleading, and it was almost impossible for Alex to say "no" to such an adorable face.

"I-I guess..." She looked at Kyoya for help, who merely shrugged. "Hey-!" Kirimi cut her off, smiling widely.

"You can be my "mommy" and you can be the "daddy"!"

"W-Wait-Hold on-!" Alex tried to protest, but Kyoya took advantage of the situation and casually slung an arm over shoulders.

He gave her a shit-eating grin, "What's the matter "dear"? Has our daughter been causing trouble again?" Kirimi squealed, practically bouncing up-and-down on the couch, and ran over to hug Kyoya's leg.

"Mommy said she wouldn't take me to go pick flowers! She's being mean to me, daddy!" Kirimi tugged on his pants leg, as if signaling for him to pick her up. Kyoya seemed to hesitate for a moment, still only a novice when it came to people, before kneeling down and picking her up. "You'll convince her, right? Right, daddy?"

Alex didn't know whether to laugh, be embarrassed, or be utterly horrified as Kyoya decided to have fun and tease her to get a reaction, and Kirimi acting like she and Kyoya were married and that she was their daughter.

She had two evil masterminds plotting against her, and she could only go along. Okay, she was the mean mommy, right? She can do this.

Alex took a deep breathe and plastered on the best stern look she could manage without grinning, and placed a hand on her hip. "Now, Kirimi, I said "no" and that's final. Mother's word is law around here." She was NOT going to let them get the best of her. Kirimi let out a noise of complaint. Kyoya started to advance, causing Alex to back up. No...He was not going to use Kirimi's love of Shojo Manga to his advantage, right? Right!?

"Is that so?" He asked, deepening his voice and sending chills down her spine. His face was right in front of hers, his minty breathe brushing over her face, as he had leaned down enough to look her in the eyes. Alex was backed up against a wall, and Kirimi looked like she was trying her hardest not to fangirl.

That poor girl was corrupted beyond comprehension due that manga!

But, then again, Alex was too...

"Are you sure about that, Alex?" She could feel her heart pounding, and those stupid butterflies were rampaging around in her stomach again. Her face was cherry red. "Who is in charge of this household?"

She turned her head, refusing to look at him but unable to keep herself from looking into his eyes. "I-I am..."

Kirimi was trying even harder not to squeal. Real life Shojo Manga~! She thought, eyes sparkling. Not to mention she had front row seats.

"Kiss! Mommy and Daddy have to kiss!" They broke apart and looked down at Kirimi, and Alex couldn't help her sigh of relief as she slumped against the wall. She resisted the urge to press her hand against her chest as she tried to calm her frantic heart. What was Kyoya gonna do? Wait, what did Kirimi say? "You have to kiss! Push her up against the wall again and kiss her! You're the Seme!"

Alex's eyes widened. Kyoya looked at Alex thoughtfully and pushed his glasses up, saying, "Seme, huh?" He pulled off his glasses, and for a moment Alex thought he was going to clean them, but watched as he stuck them in his blazer pocket and found him advancing again.

"H-Hey, what are you-" She started to protest, trying to get her legs working to move again, but just as her feet started to move Kyoya had cupped her face and pressed his lips against hers.

Kirimi squealed.

"-and to my surprise, those things really are full of reverse harems and debauchery!" Haruhi finished ranting about the Shojo Manga. Alex covered her face with her hands, muttering,

"At least you didn't have to act it out..." Haruhi didn't seem to hear her correctly and asked in confusion,

"What'd you say, Alex?"

Her face turned a deep red as she looked up, like a deer caught in the headlights, and stuttered, "N-N-Nothing! For-Forget I said anything!" Haruhi raised an eyebrow but said nothing. The door suddenly opened and Kirimi stood there with teary eyes.

"Big-Big brother...?" She started to cry, "It's so dark in here~!" Alex and Haruhi were by Kirimi's side in an instant, trying to calm the crying girl down.

"Aw, Kirimi-Chan, I told you stay in the music room..."

"It's okay, It's okay. We're here, Kirimi. See, look, you're big brother is here, too!" Tamaki quickly ran over once she started crying asked gently,

"Aw, what's wrong? Here," He picked her up and started to twirl her around above his head. Kirimi stopped crying and started to laugh. "See, not so scary now, is it? Here, have a candy." He gave her a piece of candy and she took it, smiling shyly as she blinked the tears out of her eyes.

Nekozawa watched the scene for a few moments, remembered how Tamaki had always acted with Kirimi, his training, and what to say...what to do. He turned to look at his Beelzenef doll for a moment before breathing in deeply and shoving it into his pants pocket. He could do this.

Hesitantly, heart pounding fearfully, he reached over to the desk where a flashlight was sitting. I can do this...I can do this...I am a handsome princely big brother. I am a handsome princely big brother... He repeated that a few times as he stared into the light bulb the flashlight. He squeezed his eyes shut and ground his teeth together, before inhaling deeply and holding his breathe as he turned on the flashlight.

He could feel the burning rays of the light on his face, and after a moments hesitation, he opened his eyes.

Hope fluttered through him like a euphoria.

Everyone turned to stare at Nekozawa in shock, he who was holding a flashlight in his own face.

"He...did it." No words could explain their astonishment. Tamaki quickly ran over with a smile, after setting Kirimi back down, and patted him on the back as he congratulated him.

"Good work, Sempai! Just a little farther and-"

"Kirimi-Chan!" Haruhi exclaimed, seeing her standing by the door again. Nekozawa's eyes widened and a look so happy it almost brought tears to everyone's eyes formed on his face. He turned his head to smile at his sister.

"Kirimi!" However, with the flashlight in his face, he look ominous due to the shading. The girl froze to the spot, before bursting out crying and screaming and turned on the spot to run away. Nekozawa dropped the flashlight and held a hand out, screaming her name. Suddenly he grew lightheaded and collapsed.

He knew he shouldn't have tried the flashlight. Now not only was he weak, but his sister was more scared than ever of him now.

"Nekozawa-Sempai!"

Tamaki quickly ran over to his recently newfound friend. Nekozawa ignored him and pulled an ignored Beelzenef out of his pants pocket, staring at it with sad eyes.

"It's fine, Suoh...Even-Even if I continued with the training, it doesn't guarantee that Kirimi will ever accept me as her older brother..." His was laced with so much pain and hurt it was almost heartbreaking to listen to. "She doesn't want someone like me..." His voice cracked slightly. His blonde hair fell into his face and covered his watery eyes. "She wants someone like you, Tamaki."

The blonde Host snapped. "Are you an idiot!? Can't you see that it's not me she wants!? The one, the brother that she's truly looking for, is right in front of me! If you truly care about your sister, then you'll do whatever it takes to win her over! You love her, don't you!? The big brother she's looking for is you!"

Nekozawa paused, his eyes half-lidded as he tried to understand Tamaki's harsh words. He didn't understand. Why would Kirimi want a brother like him, when she could have a brother like Tamaki? He's seen the way he was with his sister... He'd make a much better brother than he.

"Uh, boss, we found her!" Hikaru exclaimed, opening one of the curtains in the science room.

Kaoru explained, "She ran into the courtyard...It looks like there's something down there with her."

Hikaru squinted and declared, "Oh, it's a cat!" Alex ran over excitedly, looking out the window as the twins looked down at her surprised.

"Really?"

"Yeah," Kaoru told her with a smile. "I guess you'd expect it from a cat-worshiping family. Even strays like them."

Nekozawa stood up and exclaimed, fear coursing through his veins, "No, that's not true! I mean, yes, cats are revered by our family, but Kirimi is deathly terrified of animals! Cats are the worst in her opinion!" He sounded like he was going to have a panic attack. "Let me see! Where is she!?" Hikaru, Kaoru, and Alex all moved out of the way as Nekozawa peered out of the window.

Alex frowned, not understanding how one could be afraid of such an adorable creature, but didn't comment. She watched in surprise as Nekozawa suddenly started to run out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Haruhi exclaimed in alarm, "Nekozawa-Sempai, your robe-!" He didn't seem to hear her, to busy running down the halls to get to the courtyard. Everyone moved to the window just in time to see Nekozawa run towards Kirimi, scaring the adorable tabby cat cat away. Kirimi was crying and ran towards Nekozawa, tackling him in a hug.

Tamaki cried out, cheering, "He did! He's okay even though he's standing in broad daylight!"

"Go, Neko-Chan!" Mitsukuni cheered, smiling widely.

"Don't be scared, Kirimi, don't be scared...Beelzenef will c-curse...all...bad cats..." They watched in alarm and screamed when Nekozawa collapsed backwards, fainting.

Alex asked curiously, despite her wonder, "Anyone else want to know the real reason why he can't stand sunlight?" She coughed lightly again.

...

The next day, Tamaki was crying the entire day about how "Nekozawa thanked him and said he was going to cast a wonderful spell". The poor boy looked terrified.

I am so out of practice with Alex's character. DX Ugh, I feel like she's a bit OOC in this one...Anyway, sorry for the late update. Slight writers block on this one. Please don't kill me, tell me what you think about it...

DELETED SCENE: also written out of boredom before this chapter was written and had no place to put. But, to keep out the confusion, this scene did not actually happen in the story.

"You realize that you're not actually a policewoman, Alex?" Kyoya asked the brunette, causing her to turn her head and look at him in surprise before nodding, a pair of handcuffs the twins have given her to go with her cosplay in her left hand. "You can't actually "punish" the guests."

Alex pouted, despite knowing that Kyoya wouldn't be Kyoya if he didn't ruin all her fun.

Alex had tried to act like "Misaki Ayuzawa" from Kaichou-Wa Maid-Sama as she was dressed in a police woman uniform, complete with the miniskirt, see-through leggings, and leather boots with highheels. On the belt that was wrapped around her waist, was a small black whip. The twins went all out with her skit. Alex then realized what Kyoya was doing before she smirked, taking a few steps towards him despite her uneasiness in the heels, and quickly reached up and grabbed his tie, leaning upwards as she pulled his face close to hers.

She watched in slight delight as his eyes widened in surprise, not expecting such a move from her.

Payback for messing with me all the time, She couldn't help but think as she looked at him with mischievous eyes, a devilish smirk on her face as she forwards-her lips nearly grazing his ear as she whispered with a rather impressive seductive smile, "There's no need to be so jealous, Kyoya," She emphasized his name, suddenly grateful for all the romance stories she reads, "If you want...No, keep up this act, and I might just find myself unable to prevent myself from punishing you..." She moved so that her face was in front of his, their noses centimeters apart as she asked, her eyes looking into his behind dark lashes, "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

She had to admit, the look on his face was priceless-and oddly, she wanted to see more of it. She was surprising herself with how well she was pulling off this act, as this is completely different from how she normally is.

She released his tie with a triumphant smile, reveling at the light blush that spread across his pale cheeks as she turned to step away. She was going to engrave that sight into her memory. She started to walk away after that decision, only to have a large hand grab her by the forearm and whirl her around, slamming her around and pressing her back against a table, both of her wrists now pinned above her head by one of Kyoya's much larger hands.

She stared with wide eyes at him, surprised and alarmed. She didn't expect that. She opened her mouth to speak, only to be cut off when he practically climbed on top of her, one foot on the ground and his other leg on her right side against the table, his free hand next to her head.

The smirk on his face was amused as he leaned down, his bangs falling across his forehead. He spoke, "You seem to have forgotten that I'm the dominant one in this relationship, Alex." Seeing her about to react and say something, he pulled off his glasses and stuck them in his shirt pocket.

She wriggled slight in his grip, uncomfortable on the table and at the all squealing that was going on in the background. She protested, face turning a bright red, "Wh-What relationship!? We're not together-"

His lips pressed against hers as if to silence her, moving them slowly as his free hand started to trail down her side before resting on her right leg. Her eyes grew wide and she quickly squeezed them shut, feeling the blush darken considerably as her heart beat faster.

A small shiver went down her spine, the good kind of shiver, when she felt him flick hit tongue against her bottom lip. She bit her lip, extremely embarrassed at the turn of events that went from her teasing him to him ravishing her, only Kyoya didn't seem to like that. Feeling a smirk form on his lips at her shyness, her cuteness, he ran his hand down her leg slowly, causing her to open her eyes and her mouth as she reacted to tell him something-only to realize her mistake too late as his tongue darted into her mouth, exploring every inch.

She was the Uke, he was the Seme, he was the dominate one and she was the submissive one. And if he had to prove it this way, so be it. Alex was his-like hell he'd let any other guy have her.

After a few moments, he pulled away and took in her dark red face, her eyes locking onto his. Calmly, he removed his hand from her leg and put his glasses back on, smirking at her. She huffed and turned her head, trying not to look at him but failing as her eyes darted to look at him as she muttered, "I hate you sometimes..."

"That's what you think," He told her and moved away from her, commenting, "Don't try and punish me again, otherwise next time will be much, much worse." He watched as she froze and her face practically explode in different shades of red, smirking as he grew highly amused at her imagination.

Not trusting her voice to speak, she merely nodded with wide eyes.
