On to chapter 12! Karuizawa!

They stared at each other for a moment. The wind blew by, rustling the leaves and grass and filling the air with the sound of it. Some kids playing on the play structure were shouting and screaming and laughing, but it sounded far away, distant, as if in a dream.

It was all very cliche, except for the fact that the wind was blowing Emi's hair into her face and mouth and getting stuck behind her glasses. It made it hard to see Kei and completely ruined the mood.

"Hi," Kei finally said as Emi struggled to keep her hair neat. He sounded breathless.

"Hi," Emi said.

"Maybe I should leave," Chiharu said.

"No," the two said in unison, but neither could break eye contact to look at her.

"Okay then," Chiharu said.

"Um." Kei blushed and looked away first, turning to stare at his sneakers, kicking some loose pebbles while rubbing the back of his neck. "Uh, hi."

"Hi," Emi said. Her gaze was still on Kei. It felt like she was glued to the spot. Not a single muscle in her seemed to twitch as she waited for him to say something else.

"You two already said that," Chiharu said.

Emi felt her face heat up and she could tell that Kei was blushing too. The tips of his ears were turning red the way they did whenever he was really embarrassed.

"Um," Kei said.

"Don't say hi again," Chiharu said.

"You-You're not helping!" He looked up at Chiharu, all flustered and nervous.

She just shrugged. "I'm just trying to move your conversation along. Want me to leave yet?"

"No," the two said again.

"Then tell her what you have to say, Kei," Chiharu said.

"Um." Kei ducked his head back down. "I… I still like you, Emi-san. I still really, really like you." He finally met her gaze. "I know what I did was unforgivable-"

"I've already forgiven you," Emi said. Her voice was so quiet, she wondered if he heard it over the wind. She tucked her hair behind her ear, trying to keep it out of her face.

"Then." Kei was blushing again. "Pl-Please go out with me!"

"What do you think they're doing?" Ryuu asked, chewing on the straw in his cup of water.

"Making out." Yoshiaki grinned.

"In your dreams maybe," Ryuu said and rolled his eyes.

"Or in Emi's," Yoshiaki said.

"Well since they're gone." Koji leaned back in his seat. "Do you want to know why Daisuke really didn't come today?"

"What? But he just messaged me apologizing that he couldn't come cause something came up," Ryuu said.

Koji sighed, crossing his arms across his chest. "He didn't want to come because he didn't want to see Emi."

Ryuu's jaw dropped. "What? Is he being stupid?"

"No," Koji said. "He's been crushing on Kei since our third year. He thought Kei would get over Emi once high school started, but he hasn't."

Ryuu's jaw dropped even further, if that was possible. "What? Why didn't I know that Daisuke liked that bastard Kei? What the hell? He's gay?" He leaned forward.

"Yes, he is," Koji said.

What? What? What? Erorr. Error. Brain cannot compute. Malfunctioning. Shutting down in 3, 2, 1. "Since when?" Ryuu asked, while trying not think about how much Emi would have loved to hear this.

Koji shrugged. "I don't know. He didn't want to come, cause he was afraid he'd accidentally hurt Emi. He's afraid he'll be jealous of her, since Kei is still like madly in love with her. I didn't want to tell you in front of her, cause well..." They all knew what he meant by that.

"Jesus that asshole is still-" Ryuu stopped as realization hit and he stood up. "Shit! Chiharu must be bringing Emi to meet that jerk!"

"What makes you think that?" Fudo asked.

"It's possible," Yoshiaki said with a shrug. "Chiharu and Kei are, like, childhood BFFs."

"Damn!" Ryuu ran towards the door.

"Hey, you're just gonna ditch us here?" Yoshiaki called after him.

Ryuu stopped, holding the door open, and then said, "Come with me then!" Then he disappeared into the summer heat.

"That idiot." Koji sighed as he stood up too. "Let's go before he punches someone."

"I know you said you didn't want to do a long-distance relationship, but we can try! I-I might move to Tokyo next year anyway, so…"

That's what he wanted to talk about? Emi stared at Kei helplessly. She didn't want to do this. She didn't want to hear this. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have said yes.

"I-" Emi glanced at Chiharu, who just nodded at her in encouragement. "I- Kei-kun, I-I can't."

"Can't?" His voice broke, and he hastily cleared his throat. "What do you mean?"

"I don't…" She couldn't meet his gaze anymore. "I don't feel the same way anymore. I'm sorry. I-"

"Okay. I understand."

Emi glanced up. Kei's features had softened, no longer sharp from panic and nervousness. "Thanks, Emi-san."

She nodded, swallowing while trying to stop the guilt that threatened to flood her senses. "Th-Thank you, too."

"There you guys are!" a voice called from down the path that led to the sidewalk. Ryuu came sprinting at them, and in the distant, the other three guys could be seen. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Kei Sasaki?"

Emi grabbed Kei's arm and spun him behind her, before stretching her arms out to protect him from Ryuu's wrath.

"Move, Emi!" Ryuu grabbed her shoulders.

"Calm down," she said.

"What is he doing here?" he asked, shaking her. "What did he want?" He turned to Chiharu. "I thought you said you'd take care of her!"

Chiharu sighed. "I am! Emi said so herself that she wanted to talk to him."

"You what?" Ryuu turned back to Emi, shook her a few more times, roughly. "Why would you do that?"

"Calm down!" Emi shoved him away. "Calm down you idiot!"

Ryuu blinked at her blankly, as his friends finally caught up.

"I didn't come here to bathe myself in drama," Emi said. "And you, Ryuu, are making everything super dramatic." Chiharu giggled. "So please, calm down. We're done talking anyway."

Ryuu took a step forward. "What did you guys-"

"It has nothing to do with you," she said. "Can we go back now?"

"Emi-san," Kei said, stepping towards her.

"Stay away from her!" Ryuu said.

"Jesus Christ, Ryuu! Let it go already!" Emi said.

"Let it go! Let it go!" Yoshiaki started singing. "Can't hold it back anymooooore!"

"Oh please stop," Chiharu said, shoving the guy. "Read the mood for once, Yoshi."

"Hey, Emi said so herself. She didn't come here to bathe in drama, so I'm helping to, you know, lessen the drama," Yoshiaki said with a shrug.

Ryuu wouldn't stop glaring at Kei though. He grabbed Emi's arm. "Let's go then."

Emi sighed and let him pull her away from Kei. She turned and managed a smile and wave at him though. "You can text me," she said.

"No you can't," Ryuu said.

Kei just smiled and waved back. "Thanks for meeting me today, Emi-san."

Emi felt her heart twist. She quickly faced the way she was walking so that Kei wouldn't see the tears welling up in her eyes.

Dammit.

I actually kinda miss him.

"I can't believe it," Emi said, sitting down at the dining table for dinner.

"What's wrong?" her dad asked. Their mom was late, as usual, because she was stuck in surgery.

"Are you still mad at me?" Ryuu asked.

"Oh shut up Ryuu," Emi said as she took a bite of rice. "Chiharu is leaving in two days to go stay with her grandparents this summer. That means I won't be able to see her at all this summer! Why did I even come here then?"

"For me?" their dad said with a small smile.

"Well yeah, you and Mom too," Emi said. "But Chiharu!"

Ryuu didn't say anything. He wanted to say something like, "Get over it. Who cares. It'll be okay. You'll see her sometime later," but he knew it'd just get him a glare and a harumph and some annoyed remark from Emi. She was still pissed at him, and all because he had been mad at Kei.

How can she defend him? Every single time. Agh I really don't get her when it comes to that douchebag.

Emi didn't want to stay in Kyoto if Chiharu wasn't around. Other than her parents, what was good here? There were too many memories tucked in the corner of the streets. Too many places where she hugged Kei, where they kissed, where they walked hand-in-hand, laughing and talking.

That night, she laid on her bed, mind too full to fall asleep. Then the loud sound of blades chopping the wind came through. She sat up and went to the closest window. Some helicopter was landing on their grass.

Emi ran out of her room, almost crashing into Ryuu who was doing the same thing.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"A helicopter landed in our backyard," Emi said.

"Mom?" Ryuu said as he followed her down the stairs.

"No. It's not one of ours."

Their dad was still up, and he was standing in front of the backyard door, watching as several guards approached the helicopter.

"Stay inside," their dad said, holding an arm out to prevent them from going out.

The door flew open and two familiar figures came out.

"Ahh I knew we should have called beforehand," one voice said.

"But then they would be able to run away before we came here," another said, deeper than the first.

"Who is it?" Ryuu asked. They leaned forward, squinting to make out the two people.

"Hello!" Faces appeared under the deck lights.

"Why is it them?" Ryuu cringed and turned. "I'm going back to sleep!" When he found that Emi wasn't following him, he grabbed her sleeve. "Come on, Emi. Let's hide before they come get us."

She shook him off easily and then slid the backyard door open. "I wanna see what they're doing here."

"Emi!"

"Hey it's Emi-chan!" Hikaru said, grinning.

"You know them, Emi-sama?" one guard said, staying between the Hitachiin twins and Emi.

"Yeah, they're our classmates," Emi said. "Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin."

"Hitachiin?" another guard said.

"Hmm. Yuzuha Hitachiin's sons?" Emi's dad stepped onto the deck to join them.

"That's us!" the twins chorused. "Is this your dad, Emi-chan?"

Emi nodded, as Ryuu finally came to join them. He looked like he was already regretting it, though.

"Kaoru-kun, what happened here?" Emi pointed at her own left cheek, mirroring the position where Kaoru had a bandaid on.

"Oh, just a cut," Kaoru said. His hand brushed the bandaid briefly, before he smiled. "It's nothing much."

Then Emi noticed how the twins were holding hands. OMG yes! They're holding hands! Yes! Oooh what caused them to hold hands? Or do they actually hold hands all the time when they're alone and just happened to forget? They're so cute together!

"What are you two doing here?" Ryuu asked, interrupting Emi's daydreaming.

"Ah, of course we came to get you two!" the twins said.

"For what?" Emi said, in a curious tone as opposed to Ryuu's wary one.

"Karuizawa!" The twins raised their hands in excitement.

"The entire Host Club is there," Hikaru said.

"Including Haruhi," Kaoru said, winking at Emi.

"So you should come with us!" they said.

"Karuizawa is a popular tourist area," Emi's dad said. "I've heard that it's a very… refreshing place."

"I wanna go," Emi said before she'd even thought all that much about it.

"What?" Ryuu said. "Why?"

"Chiharu's not going to be here soon," she said with a shrug. "What's the point of staying? This place just reeks of memories and it's… I don't want to stay here anymore. Sorry, Dad."

He smiled and hugged Emi. "It's fine. You should have fun during your summer, and your mom and I will be busy everyday. We won't be able to spend all that much time with you two anyway."

"So I can go?" she said.

He nodded.

"Dad!" Ryuu said. "You're just going to let your daughter hop into a helicopter with some teenage boys you hardly know?"

Their dad chuckled. "I've met Yuzuha before. She's a very energetic and kind person. I doubt her sons are any different."

"Oh we're energetic and kind for sure!" the twins said, with matching grins.

"As if!" Ryuu said.

"Besides, Ryuu, won't you go with them?" their dad said.

No I don't want to! Ryuu thought. But of course there's no way I can just let Emi go with the Host Club. Even if Haruhi is a girl, that doesn't mean Emi is necessarily safe with a bunch of hormone-high guys. But I want to chill in Kyoto and not do anything, and going with them means I'll have to do stuff and be annoyed by them.

"You don't have to come, Ryuu," Emi said.

"Of course I do," he said, voice ragged and tired. "Can we go tomorrow at least? I want to sleep."

"We're heading back right now," Hikaru said.

"We won the Refreshing battle," Kaoru said.

"So we get to stay in the pension that Haruhi is working at," they said together.

"Pension? Working?" Ryuu said.

Fujioka-kun working! Oh I'd love to see his serious, focused look as he works! "What does he do?" Emi asked.

The twins shrugged. "Boring stuff. We're leaving then. Emi-chan you want to come with us right now?"

"I'll go with Ryuu in the morning," Emi said.

"You better come," Hikaru said.

"Or we'll come back and drag you there," Kaoru said.

"Okay." Emi smiled and waved as the twins headed back towards the helicopter. "Good night!"

"Bye!"

The helicopter started up, and soon the twins disappeared into the sky.

Karuizawa! A place to escape the city and enjoy some refreshing air. It was almost noon by the time the Mazawa twins arrived. The entire Host Club, minus Kaoru, was standing at the entrance to the pension, saying goodbye to some guy.

"Who is that?" Emi wondered out loud as she climbed out of the car. Hikaru was saying something, making a very begrudgingly apologetic look at that unknown guy.

Woah! Hikaru-kun can make a face like that! Emi skipped over in excitement. Maybe, maybe the HikaKao ship is actually a switch!

Then Haruhi shattered Emi's hope, when she said, "Kaoru. Why are you pretending to be Hikaru?"

"Eh? That's Kaoru-kun?" Emi said.

"Hey! Where's the cut on your cheek?" Haruhi grabbed Kaoru's face, rubbing the makeup off to reveal the cut.

"It's just some quick makeup. Hikaru hasn't recovered his spirit yet," Kaoru said, a strained smile on his face. Once Haruhi let go of Kaoru's face, Emi grabbed him instead, looking at him closely. "Um, Emi-chan? What are you doing?"

"You are Kaoru-kun!" Emi said. She turned to Haruhi. Amazing! Fujioka-kun could tell right away!

"Anyway, Haruhi," Kaoru said, a grin on his face. "I want to ask you for a favor."

"What took you guys so long to get here?" Tamaki asked.

"Ryuu slept in," Emi said. "Then my mom came back and found out we were leaving, and decided to send us over with a ton of servants. Plus word got out that Ryuu was in town so a bunch of his crazed fangirls attacked us on our way out."

Ryuu shuddered at the memory. Goosebumps popped up across his arms. "It's not my fault. It's not my fault that there exists such crazy people."

Emi rubbed his arm, and he relaxed from Emi's touch. "I know," she said. "So Fujioka-kun, you're working here?"

Haruhi nodded.

Wait, Emi still doesn't- Ryuu noted Haruhi's outfit, a plain t-shirt and shorts. What the hell? Why isn't she wearing a dress? Oh my God, why Haruhi, of all days…

"The pension owner is a friend of my dad's," Haruhi said. "Come on in, Emi. We don't have any more open rooms, but I can get you something to eat."

"Sure!" Emi beamed and skipped into the pension after Haruhi.

Oi wait, wait! Ryuu watched her disappear inside. He turned to Kyoya. "Can I tell her? Please?"

Kyoya smiled and pushed his glasses up. "She'll find out in time. Let's just wait."

No no no, please, no!

They chilled the entire day, chatting and relaxing. It was exactly what Emi wanted. She could just forget about Kei, and Kyoto, and Midoriyama and relish the fact that she was the one lucky girl that got to see Haruhi over summer break.

Things were going well. They stayed at Honey's vacation home along with the rest of the Host Club - except the twins who'd won the room at the pension.

"So - So why are we watching Fujioka-kun go on a date with Hikaru-kun?" Emi wanted to cry.

"I'd like to know too!" Tamaki grabbed Kaoru's t-shirt. "Why does Haruhi have to go on a date with Hikaru? Especially after what happened yesterday!"

"Hey, be quiet!" Kaoru tried to fight Tamaki off.

I see a new ship being born. Emi thought.

"You are so dead Kaoru!" Tamaki kept on yelling. "And also-also because Haruhi looks sooo cute!"

He released Kaoru as tears poured out of Tamaki's eyes.

"I know! It's so unfair!" Emi said, wiping her own tears away with a handkerchief.

"Not fair! Not fair!" Tamaki agreed.

"Not fair!" Honey also chorused while grinning.

Emi, I think you're missing the point here, Ryuu thought. He didn't want to be here. It was too early and too warm, yet here he was in order to help stalk Haruhi and Hikaru on their date. So why hasn't Emi noticed that Haruhi is clearly a freaking girl?! I mean, come on! She's wearing a blue dress! A blue dress and pigtails! How are you not seeing that Emi? He wanted to cry too, but for vastly different reasons.

Hikaru and Haruhi noticed the noise, and they turned to see what was going on. In a flash, Ryuu was dragged to the side by Kyoya and Mori, while Kaoru snatched Emi to the other side.

"Look, Milord," Kaoru said, still holding one hand over Emi's mouth and another around her waist. "I think it's a good thing for Hikaru to find more people who matter to him."

When Emi pulled his hand off her mouth, Kaoru noticed that he was holding onto her and quickly let go, while continuing to explain his intentions. The rest of the club regrouped as Kaoru said, "Hikaru is especially immature. He acts out his feelings without restraint. I don't think he's conscious of it, but he really cares about Haruhi."

Emi gasped. It's real! It's real! The HikaHaru ship is real! I can't believe that Hikaru-kun really does like Fujioka-kun! Kyaaaa, so cute! Ahh, but poor Kaoru-kun. His brother/soul mate is being stolen away from him by Fujioka-kun, yet here he is, letting his brother go on a date with Fujioka-kun. Oh and Fujioka-kun crossdressing! Kyaaaa! He makes such a realistic trap! I almost thought that he was a girl for a second there!

Emi squealed and didn't quite hear the rest of Kaoru's explanation. Something about how the date would teach Hikaru to be more considerate of others and learn the basics of personal interaction.

"Kaoru, you're awesome," Tamaki said. Emi nodded in agreement. Ryuu had zoned out a long time ago.

"In other words, today's date is meant to be a trial for Hikaru to learn some compassion," Kyoya said.

"Exactly!" Kaoru nodded. "That's why I don't want any of you interfering! If you do, you're dead."

Ryuu cleared his throat as they returned to following Hikaru and Haruhi. "So, Emi. Have you noticed anything yet? Came to any realizations involving Haruhi?"

Emi nodded with an excited smile. "Yeah!"

"You did?" Ryuu's face lit up in excitement too.

"Fujioka-kun makes an amazing trap!" She grinned, then skipped on alone all bubbly and happy while leaving a frozen Ryuu behind.

Are you kidding me? Are you seriously shitting with me right now? If I were in a manga, readers would only be able to see my legs sticking up in the panel. Oh my God. When was Emi this dense? I never knew she could be shoujo-manga-heroine material.

"Ryuu come on!" Emi called, and Ryuu forced his legs to move and catch up to the rest of the group.

But Haruhi. He glanced over to the girl, sitting on a bench discussing what to do with Hikaru. He felt himself blush at the sight. Crap, she's cute. What the heck? How can such a cute girl look like a guy? What, did she jump straight out of a manga or something? Hahaha, it must be a reverse-harem manga considering all the handsome guys surrounding her here…

Ryuu looked at the Host Club. What is this feeling? Like I've gone and broken the fourth wall or something… I think I'm going crazy. He shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind. It's not like a fourth wall exists in real life. Yup, I'm going crazy. Must be because of the Host Club. They're driving me crazy with their crazy ideas and the crazy things they do. Like, you know, calling people at six in the morning, following people on dates, and-

"Aghh! Let me switch places with that idiot! There's no chivalry at all!" Tamaki burst out in frustration. "It's so cold and awkward! How can he be a part of the Host Club? I'll escort Haruhi!"

"That'll ruin everything, Milord," Kaoru said, gritting his teeth while attempting to keep Tamaki from storming the date.

"Then Kyoya! Go after Haruhi as a thug! Make Hikaru save her!" Tamaki didn't want to give up.

"Sleep talk when you're asleep," Kyoya said.

"Ice cream! Ice cream! Get your ice cream here!" Honey strolled past Hikaru and Haruhi, a straw hat and a fake mustache on.

Emi burst out into giggles, while Ryuu gaped at the absurdity. Mori grabbed Honey in a blur, and the entire ice cream cart disappeared in front of Haruhi and Hikaru before they'd gotten a good look.

"Now I want ice cream," Emi said.

"Wait you seriously haven't noticed anything?" Ryuu shook her by the shoulders. "Take a good look at Haruhi! Do you seriously think that that is a guy?"

"That's mean Ryuu." Emi frowned at him. "Of course Fujioka-kun is a guy."

Kyoya chuckled, and Ryuu glared at him. "Can I tell her already?" he asked, trying to suppress his rage.

"Not yet," Kyoya said.

"Why?" Ryuu was basically yelling at the Shadow King.

"Tell me what?" Emi asked. She glanced between the two. One was smiling, while the other was frowning. Then she turned to Haruhi, who was now buying ice cream, and smiled too. "Ahh, is it something like Fujioka-kun is really a girl?"

The group fell silent.

Emi stared at the frozen expressions of everyone, before forcing out a strange laugh. "Joke! It-It's a joke! There's no way Fujioka-kun is a girl, right?"

Ryuu wanted to collapse on the ground. He wanted to go into Tamaki's depression corner and do whatever Tamaki usually did when he was depressed. Grow mushrooms was it? Or draw weird swirly things on the ground? And mumble and grumble a lot? I think I'll go do that right now.

"You still haven't found out?" Kaoru asked.

"Found what out?" Emi said.

Kaoru pointed at Haruhi, a blank look on his face. "Haruhi… is a girl."

They watched as Haruhi held an ice cream cone out to Hikaru. "If it's not delicious, you'll have to play a penalty game," Hikaru said, his hand over Haruhi's on the ice cream cone.

"What a pretty young lady!" Tamaki had disappeared from their group to shove Hikaru away and thrust another ice cream cone into Haruhi's hand. "No need to share! Have another! I'm not stingy!"
Kaoru chased after, chewing Tamaki out for interfering.

"Emi." Ryuu tugged on the sleeve of Emi's short-sleeved hoodie. "You okay?"

Her head slowly turned towards him. A look of shock was still on her face. "Is-Is Fujioka-kun really a girl?" Her voice was barely a whisper.

Ryuu nodded.

"How? Why?" she said.

He sighed. "She broke an expensive vase, had no way to repay the debt back, and so ended up working for the Host Club. They thought she was a guy at first cause she was wearing baggy clothing - jeez, can't you see for yourself?" He pointed at Haruhi, who was now walking away with Hikaru.

Kaoru was crying and yelling, "Brother! I'm here!" from within the ice cream shop, and Tamaki was holding the guy down.

"But-But-" Emi didn't want to believe it.

"I know. I'm sorry," Ryuu said. He patted her shoulder. "It's okay if you cry."

She glanced at him, and finally a confused look displaced the surprised one. "Why would I cry? This isn't that big of a deal."

HUH? Now Ryuu had the shocked look. "Wh-What do you mean? I mean, you like her right?"

"So?" Emi said.

"So. Now it's impossible," he said.

She gave him another wtf look. "What are you talking about Ryuu? The only thing this fact changes is that… that…" A look of horror and dismay crossed her face. "That it's not yaoi anymore!"

Ryuu facepalmed as Emi continued. "Ahh and I was so excited that the HikaHaru ship was real and that it'd sail! Why? Why is reality so cruel? I want to hurry up and find a portal that will take me to the 2-D universe. Where things like HikaHaru can be made possible."

Ryuu wasn't listening anymore. If he were in a manga, he would go and bang his head against the closest wall. Preferably a brick wall. But he couldn't do that unless he wanted blood running down his face, permanent brain damage, and/or getting sent to a mental institution.

"Actually no! I don't want to go to a 2-D universe where HikaHaru is possible! I want to go somewhere where HikaKao is possible! Kyaaaa! Aren't they so cute? And their forbidden love… Oh it could never be achieved here in our stupid realm of reality. So I want to find a portal to take me to a world where HikaKao is real! And maybe MoriHoney! Ooh, ooh! And KyoTama! And-And maybe.. " A dreamy look crossed Emi's face. "HaruEmi…"

Ryuu frowned. He wasn't sure whether he was more concerned or more disturbed.

"Ice cream." Mori held two ice cream cones out towards the Mazawa twins, the only ones not huddling inside the ice cream shop.

"Oh thanks Mori-senpai!" Emi said, taking the ice cream with a smile.

"Thanks." For shutting Emi up. Ryuu followed Mori into the shop and joined the depressed corner next to Tamaki and Kaoru. This is a bad day. I thought the day that Emi found out Haruhi was a girl would be a good day, cause she'd finally give up on that crossdressing girl. So why did things turn out like this?

Kei really had such a short part. What do you think of him so far? Want him to appear a bit more? Anyone want to see HikaruxRyuu? If enough people do, then I will write it, but if not, then I won't.

So did anyone find anything particularly funny in this chapter? Like Emi or Ryuu's reactions to certain things? The story is supposed to be funny, but I'm not all that funny, lol. And KaoEmi really does start the next chapter. I promise. You can toss me off a ship if I break the promise. XD

Thanks for reading! :)
