Authors Note: I'm sorry about the wait on this one guys! Being Christmas, it's been pretty busy. I honestly don't like this chapter, it's mainly a filler. I prefer the next two chapters though (22 is my fave by FAR!). So, enjoy and be good, and I'll give you **IMAGINARY** cookies =)

Chapter 20: The Last Day (Pt2)

I couldn't believe Mori actually did what Tamaki asked. I couldn't believe that he had lifted me over one shoulder and Hikaru over the other, and taken both of us, against our will, down to the rock pools Hunny had been talking about earlier. Since when did Mori do what Tamaki said anyway? It just wasn't fair!

Still, once I was set down with my hand safely in Hikaru's, the rock pools weren't so bad. There were all types of small fish swimming around, crabs wandering around minding their own business... it was peaceful, I guess.

There was one particular fish I was watching though. It was fairly small, and I had to sit on my knees and lean over the edge to see it properly. It was light blue, with scales that were really shiny.

The fish seemed to notice my presence, and decided to hide from the possible enemy in a piece of seaweed.

I honestly don't know why the fish caught my attention. It was, after all, just a fish. All it did was swim around, eating occasionally and (assuming this was a baby fish) mate when it became an adult. There wasn't anything special about it.

Still, when it finally came back from its hiding spot in the seaweed and began swimming around, I couldn't take my eyes off it. The way it swam around was almost like a dance, an impossible pattern to unheard music. It was... nice.

"HARUHI! Come look at what daddy found!" Tamaki cried from the rock pool closest to where Hikaru, Kaoru and I were standing. I looked up from the pretty blue fish to see the host club king, prancing around with a HUGE crab in his hands. The crab wasn't happy. In fact, it looked beyond irritated.

I never claimed to be psychic, but I could see pain very soon in Tamaki's future.

"Boss," the twins said uneasily. "That crab looks ready to KILL. You might wanna put him down."

The crab raised its nippers, emphasising the comment

"They're right Tama," Hunny said in his innocent little voice. "That crab looks really mad, like somebody stole his Usa-Chan!"

Like somebody stole his Usa-Chan? Not many people would get mad about that... although I suppose Hunny would lash out and karate chop whoever did steal Usa-Chan in half.

On second thoughts, maybe that was a good comparison.

"REDICULUS! All animals love me like I'm one of their own!" Tamaki cried proudly. "In fact, I'm sure that if I really wanted to, I could swim with a shark and still be loved! I could be Tamaki Souh, SHARK TAMER!"

Tamaki the shark tamer. I would LOVE to see that. I'm sure the shark would be just annoyed as the rest of us.

"Tamaki," Mori warned as the king started prancing around with the poor crab. Still Tamaki didn't listen.

"I think this crab needs a name, so he can at least be the equal of a commoner!" Tamaki declared, not realising how mad my expression became.

"Tamaki," I growled, but I was not heard. The king was still prancing around with that crab.

"I know! I shall call him Mr. Monster! He won't be equal to me, who has been touched by god to create this perfect face, but-"

Before Tamaki could finish his ridiculous rant about himself, the crab angrily nipped his nose. I couldn't be sure if I heard a crack over Tamaki's loud yelp of pain as he tossed the crab back into the water, tears rolling down his cheeks as he held his nose in his hands, a slight trickle of blood trailing down his arm.

We all just stood there for a moment as Tamaki examined his bloodstained hands. His nose wasn't broken at least. Hikaru and Kaoru looked at each other for a moment, before bursting out laughing.

"Boss, you're-"

"An idiot!" they both said between fits of laughter. Tamaki, who had been in shock until that moment, began to run up to his best friend in tears.

"MUMMY! THAT CRAB IS SO MEAN!" he cried, attempting to gain sympathy Kyoya.

The evil Shadow King looked down at his best friend who had began to hug him, rolled his eyes, and shoved Tamaki off him so hard that he fell into the same rock pool he had just tossed the huge crab into.

There were more yelps of pain as the clueless king leaped from the water, dripping wet. I swear to god that Kyoya did that purposely, although there was no real proof of that.

"Are you okay Tama?" Hunny asked, the only one who actually seemed to be offering any sympathy. "Would you like to hold Usa-Chan?"

"The Shadow King-"

"Get's his revenge!" Hikaru and Kaoru laughed, actually rolling on the ground in fits of laughter. Kyoya pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, checked to see if Tamaki had gotten any blood on him, and then just smirked evilly.

"Is your nose broken?" Mori asked quietly. Tamaki shook his head, tears still falling from his dripping wet face (because I'm sure they were tears).

"Would have served you right if it had of been," I muttered, going and sitting on a nearby rock. Honestly, the idiocy of Tamaki was never ending.

I zoned out after that, my mind wandering to the huge amount of grocery shopping I would have to do when I got home. No doubt my father had been eating take-out meals in my absence. I wondered briefly what he would do when I moved out when I was an adult? Would he learn to cook, or would I have to make him some microwave meals every week?

I fell back into the present when Hikaru grabbed my hand.

"Are you coming Haruhi?" he asked, pointing towards the others who were all heading off towards the actual beach (with the exception of Tamaki and Mori. I assumed that Mori had taken Tamaki to treat his wounds).

"Oh, right," I laughed. "Sorry."

I thought back to what Tamaki said before I was dragged here.

"Are you ready Haruhi? Daddy's going to take you all to the rock pools, then we will have a sand castle building contest! Doesn't that sound fun?"

So the next thing on our agenda was a sand castle building contest? I remembered the sand castle Hikaru and I had made when we first got here, and sighed. Was this all really necessary? I would just get laughed at for my poor sand castle building skills.

I guess it was the Host Club I was talking about.
