Hi peoplez! Wazzup?

I'm just chilling right now, because I'm at college tomorrow, and tbh I'm bricking it. Shitting myself.

I'm scared.

Yuhp... but on the plus side, Ima make new friends, and Ima have fun... OMGZ and maybe I'll have a new gay best friends. That'd be so cool. I'd take him shopping and he'd tell me what clothes to buy~ Gay peoples are awesome.

I finished the Kyouya x Saori fic, properly this time, because I went back and added stuff. I'm doin another ... six shot. Sounds funny, but a chapter is for each host (the twins count as one)

Anyways, if anyone wants a one shot, feel free to ask cos I'm bored now. Okay?

Okay. Bye!

The past three weeks have been... somewhat difficult.

Since dad went to hospital after collapsing, Hatori pulled himself out of school because sometimes he would just end up crying, and then I'd have to run half way across the whole campus to try and console him, because no-one else could.

Mum's also gone kind of blank. She's like a robot. She wakes up, eats very little, showers, then goes off to do what she needs to do.

I'm the only one acting relatively normal. I go to school, see my friends, hang out with Amatiro (who I've been growing a little closer to) and still, I get treated like this is worst affecting me.

People see it as something to treat me differently for.

Teachers don't give homework, or if they do, they tell me I can do as much as I can or as little, if I didn't want to. Sounds like every teens dream, no homework. Well, I thought it sounded cool a few months ago, now it's shit because people think just because my dad's in a coma, then something is affecting my brain activity.

That sounded harsh...

I think that people must think I'd be 'off' on learning things when my dad was so ill. I'll admit, I find it difficult to pay attention sometimes when I think about my dad hooked up to all those machines and his possible death... but the teachers seem to understand.

On a positive note, the club has had way more customers than before, and though Molly thinks it's only while my dad's ill, and people want to be nice, and then the numbers will drop a bit when he's well again... she seems happy enough raking the money in now.

Suki's not been as annoying and such a pester as she normally is, and in fact, since all this happened with my dad, she's been trying to make amends with hers.

She even dyed her hair brown again... though she still has some blue streaks in it. Her father let her do that as a 'compromise'.

And the strangest thing happened.

Hikaru and Kaoru visit the school every day now, to check on me, and then they stop at club, and mess about like they were sixteen again, and play the 'which one is Hikaru?' game. All the guests love them, because the girls think that they are fairly hot for adults (which I, and the rest of my generations hosts "Bleugh"-ed at) and the guys think they're hilarious.

Tamaki stops in every now and again too, and though at first some people may start to quiet down and behave, when the twins get to him, he tends to flip out and go all psycho crazy Tamaki, which leaves everyone else in fits of giggles.

So then Kyouya comes in, simply to drag Tamaki out since the twins would probably get their heads ripped off if they carried on, and all the girls in the club 'ooh' over him. They find him even more appealing that the twins.

After Tamaki has gone, and Kyouya can get back to whatever he was doing before he was 'rudely interrupted by a blond idiot' (his words, not mine), Mitsukuni came in! It was like a congregation of the old hosts, but the thing was, three were missing all th time. My parents, due to unmitigated circumstances, and Haruhi, because she couldn't be bothered.

But it was really cool when Mitsukuni came in, because quite a few of the guys and girls who came to club knew martial arts, and most trained in the Haninozuka, or Morinozuka way. So a lot of people would end up bowing to Mitsukuni, or something of that nature, but he just shrugged them off, telling them to relax, then he went on to have epic fights with Kanie and Cali.

We came to realize that they were indeed play fights, but they looked so real to everyone (except me, because I could see where they were holding back what could be bone crushing blows) that it became weekly entertainment, and people would pay just to come in and watch them fight, then leave.

It got even better when Kanie called in his uncle, Yasuchika (who, though he might be my second cousin, I never saw), and he and Mitsukuni fought. Then it got somewhat real, but Mitsukuni always managed to pull it out of the bag when it looked like Chika was gonna win.

Then when my uncle Satoshi came in, and he fought with Chika, that was just... epic. It was almost like they were going to fight to the death, but Mitsukuni would jump in and wrench them apart to cool things off.

So, club was getting a little more exciting, and it took my mind off some things, but sometimes, I just wanted to get out of there.

I'd go to the Dark Magic Clubroom.

-x-x-x-x-x-

"Here again?" hissed the pasty faced girl who always seemed to hate me.

"Obviously. I'm not an apparition."

"I kind of wish you were." she grumbled.

"Would you stop it Alicia? Mai, are you okay?" Amatiro asked, walking over to me.

"I'm fine, just needed to chill out again." I said, smiling slightly at him.

"Nekozawa-san, she's not a member, she can't stay here." cried Alicia, pushing her way in between me and Amatiro so there was no way we could ignore her.

"So? Alicia, she's my friend. Stop getting jealous." he snapped, shooing her away while motioning for me to take a seat wherever I liked.

Alicia huffed and stormed out of the room, while Amatiro sat next to me.

"... Why does she get jealous?" I asked, glancing at him.

"She has her reasons." he told me, quietly.

"Those being?" I pressed, leaning forward a bit to look at him properly.

"Take a wild guess Mai." he chuckled, sitting back in his chair.

"Um... she's possessive."

"Yes."

"She... doesn't think I belong."

"True."

"She... likes you."

"And you've won the grand prize!" he cheered, then started to laugh to himself.

"Aw, well that's... kind of disturbing actually. She's a bit crazy."

"Indeed she is."

"What's my prize though?" I asked, bouncing slightly, hoping for some more of that 'magic metal' to throw onto the fire.

"Magic metal." he said, handing the beg to a gleeful me. It's like he read my mind.

"You know me too well!" I laughed, scooping some out and throwing it on the fire, turning the flames pink.

He just laughed, and watched me for a while as I entertained myself with turning the flames pink and purple and red and blue and whatever other colour I could.

Then a though popped into my mind.

"Amatiro, why would she be jealous of me? The only reason I can think of her being jealous of me is... is..."

"Yes?"

"Is... if you liked me." I mumbled, turning my attention away from the fire and to a candle in between Amatiro and myself. I dusted it with a little of the metal, while looking at him through the now green flame.

"That's an intriguing notion."

"Is it right?" I asked.

He looked at me again, those blue eyes shining.

"What do you think?"

I stared at him and it started to sink in. Amatiro liked me? Damn, I was stupid.

That's why he wanted to come to the resort, and bid on me. That's kind of why he never came to club, because though I was there, so was Lee... and the two never really got along.

That's why he was always there to help me out, or cheer me up, or hug me when I was sad. Because he liked the hugs too.

"Since when?" I asked.

"Since forever. Since you stuck up for me. Since you were my friend. Especially since you developed boobs." he chuckled, glancing at me in time to see me blush bright red.

"Perv." I mumbled, but I had to admit that his strange sense of humour had put me slightly at ease.

"I've always really liked you, but I never had the balls to admit it."

"Oh... well, I-"

I was cut off by a loud beeping in my bag, which was my phone, so I dived for it and answered.

"Hello?"

"Mai, it's Hatori. Mum's exhausted, so can you came and give her a break... you know..."

"Watch over dad."

"Kinda thing."

"Sure... be there soon."

I hung up and looked at Amatiro, who at the mention of my dad had gone really quiet.

"I have to go to the hospital... I'll see you later."

"Later." he said, looking slightly disheartened, but he smiled at me anyways, and I smiled back.
