Chapter 2

Jungle SOS

"You have got to be kidding me" muttered Kai, surveying her surroundings.

"What's the matter, Kai? You don't like my family's version of paradise?" asked Kyouya, smirking at her through his glasses.

Kai glared and said,

"No, its fine. I'm just surprised you're taking us here, considering something bad is BOUND to happen".

She felt arms snake her waist, and she mentally shivered.

"Aww, what's wrong pet? You scared of a little fun?" asked the twins, both whispering in her ear.

She blushed, and ran away from them and hid behind Honey. The twins laughed at her and winked, then ran away to find Haruhi.

"Why are you all red Kai-Chan?" asked Honey, touching her face.

She shook her head and said flatly,

"Sunburn".

"Not likely" muttered Kyouya, and she sent him a death glare.

"Where's Haruhi?" asked Kai, looking around for her best friend.

"Changing rooms I think. You should go get changed Kai, before you get your uniform all sandy" Kyouya said, looking down at his clip board.

"Can I dress like a girl, or should I stick to swim trunks and a t-shirt?" she asked sarcastically, walking away.

Honey got wide eyes and exclaimed,
"You're going to wear girly clothes?! No way! I thought all you liked to wear was boy clothes!"

Kai sent a glare his way, and watched as he and Mori cowered under it.

"Honey Sempai, if Kai likes to dress like a boy all the time it is her prerogative" Kyouya told Honey, before waving to Kai as she walked to the changing rooms.

"Fine, I'll show him!" she muttered.

Walking across the lumpy warm sand, she looked around the giant rainforest. There were tall trees and chirping birds. Pretty peaceful, but that probably wouldn't last long. The changing room was pretty nice, and the twins were leaning against it, waiting for Haruhi.

Noticing she was approaching, the twins jumped up and said,

"Yay! We can play dress up with you! Go get changed!"

Kai rolled her eyes at them, and then went into the room. Shutting the door behind her, she saw Haruhi pulling on a hooded shirt and a pair of shorts.

"Hey Haruhi, what's up?" Kai said, as she rummaging through a pile of clothes. It was kind of cool the twin's mom was a fashion designer, but all of these clothes in here was ridiculous.

"Nothing much, I'm just ready to go home now" she said, her voice sounding quite monotonous.

She rubbed her neck in annoyance, and Kai couldn't hold back a laugh.

Kai nodded and said "I feel the same way. But I'm going to show them that I AM a girl. Stupid guys saying I always dress like a boy. They are challenging my femininity".

Haruhi laughed and said,

"Does that mean you're going to take off the wraps?"

Kai looked down at her flat chest and reddened.

"Oh lord no. I haven't had them off in public before" she said, a blush now faintly on her cheeks.

Haruhi giggled and said,

"Well they won't be convinced otherwise. I'll see you in a bit. Good luck"

She waved then walked out of the room, leaving Kai staring at the pile of clothes with disdain.

"Well, it's now or never" she muttered, and chose a pair of baggy guy shorts, and a tight tank top.

She un-wrapped her breasts, and nearly passed out when blood flow went back into them. She glared at the door, and said,

"Ok, let's do this".

She grabbed a baggy hooded shirt, and put it on. She walked out of the changing room and headed back to where everyone was. Upon arrival, she noticed Haruhi putting on sun block, and giggled.

"You know were indoors right?" Kai said, pointing to the well lit ceiling.

"Yes, but you can never be too careful. Besides, it gives me something to do" she said, sighing in obvious defeat.
Kai nodded in agreement, and took the bottle of sun block and slowly applied to her face and arms.

"Kai, Haruhi!" called Hikaru, running up to them. Kaoru wasn't very far behind.

"Wanna come on the water slide with us?" asked Kaoru, pointing to the gigantic slide in the distance.

Kai looked at the slide, and gave a nervous sweat drop.

But before she or Haruhi could answer, Hikaru narrowed his eyes and asked,

"Wait, what's with the deal with those clothes you both are wearing?"

Kai shrugged, and the twins shook their heads at her. They looked at Haruhi expectantly, and she sighed.

Haruhi glanced at her clothes and said "Oh this, Tamaki Sempai gave it to me". The twins nodded, mentally putting Tamaki on their most wanted list.

"So you're not going to swim?" asked Hikaru, throwing his banana peel on the ground.

"I'll swim later" said Kai, grinning and looking away. She had a plan first.

Haruhi smiled at Kai knowingly, and then said,

"I like swimming just as much as the next guy, but I'd rather be at home. All you need to play in the water is a plastic pool".

"A plastic pool? What's that?" asked the twins, looking very confused.

Kai fell on the floor laughing, and Haruhi shook her head at them. "Well, it's a round hollow pool, which you blow up with air, and fill with water".

"Oh, you dunce! You must mean an inflatable boat" said the twins, sticking out there tongue.

Kai just laughed harder, and Haruhi exclaimed,

"No! Haven't you ever seen little kids playing in one?"

Tamaki rushed in out of nowhere, and whispered loudly to the twins,

"If Haruhi says it's a pool it's a pool. It's not her fault she's an ignorant commoner"

The twins narrowed their eyes and said in confusion,

"So are we supposed to lie to her?"

Haruhi picked Kai up from the ground, and stated,

"I can't help to feel that I should be offended by that comment"

Kai nodded in agreement, and dusted off her shorts.

The twins looked at Tamaki and asked,

"Why did you make Haruhi put on the awful pull over?"

Tamaki remained silent, and the twins rambled on.

"I mean, it seems like you would be all for it. Wait, I know what he's up to. He wants to cover her up so he can be the only one to see her in a swim suit. Pervert"

Tamaki blushed and exclaimed,

"Thats not it at all. I was just trying to protect her innocence, as any father would have done. It is not proper for a young lady to walk around half naked in front of boys and-" he cut off when he felt daggers shooting in his back.

The twins pointed to a disgruntled Haruhi, who was glaring at Tamaki profusely, while Kai shook her head at him.

Before anything else could be said, Honey ran up to them, skipping in his Usa-chan floaty.

"Haruhi, Kai, you want to come in the tide pool with me?" he asked.

Haruhi looked at the water and shook her head.

"Nah, I'm not in the mood to swim, but I'm sure Kai will join you".

Kai smiled and said,

"I'll swim with you sempai, just give me a minute!".

Honey jumped for joy, and did a little dance while in the pool.

"Hey wait a minute, why do you need the floatie? Don't you know how to swim?" asked Haruhi, looking curiously at the contraption.

"Yeah, but it just looks cuter this way, you know?" said Honey, striking a pose, and then running away back into the water.

"He's right" said Kai, smiling at Honey's retreating figure.

"The bunnies are pretty cute" said Haruhi, laughing.

"He's so innocent" said the twins together, and Tamaki nodded in agreement.

"NO WAY, YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG" said an annoying voice, echoing around the whole park.

"Is that..." asked Haruhi, watching the ground rumble.

"Renge. Damn it" muttered Kai, beginning to growl at the annoying figure springing up from the ground.

Renge appeared out of the ground, it a tight black bikini.

"How does she follow us?" muttered Haruhi, shoulders beginning to sag.

"That outfits pretty impressive" said a grinning Hikaru, and Kai shot him a death glare.
He cowered, and hid behind his younger brother.

"What's with the bikini?" asked Kaoru, and Renge smiled sweetly. "I'm cosplaying LaLa" she said simply, and Kai guffawed.

Renge shot her a false sweet smile, and said,

"Hello Kai, didn't see you there".

Ouch. A short jab. Two could play at that game.

"Hello Renge, who are you stalking this week?" asked Kai, crossing her arms, preventing her from ripping Renge's hair out.

"Oh Kai, don't be rude just because I get more guys then you do. It's simply because I'm a female, and you are gay. There's simply more fish in the sea for me then there is for you" she said, her tone becoming more obnoxious by the second.

Kai laughed with humor, and said "Are you sure you're a female? Because I'm sure your rack looks like one out of a boob job magazine".

Everyone got dead quiet, and backed a few feet away from Kai. Kyouya chuckled off in the distance, and Renge smirked at Kai.

"Don't worry Kai. I'm a hundred percent all natural. However, if you ever want to consider getting a rack, I have a couple businesses you can call".

Kai rolled her eyes, and said,

"Why are you here Renge? We are trying to have a vacation".

"Well, you obviously need help understanding Honey's hidden motives. Observe" she said, pointing at Honey, who was now jumping around next to Mori in the water, having a cute moment.

"What are you talking about?" asked Tamaki, looking very confused.
"Think about what he said to you earlier" she said, and Honey's words echoed in everyone's heads.

"It just looks cuter this way, you know?" Honey's words seemed to hand in the air, and everyone stared in shock.

"He's not being as sweet and innocent as you think" she said, smiling smugly.

"I agree" said Kyouya, who was now walking up to them.

"Try putting I at the beginning of that sentence" he said, and everyone proceeded to put on there thinking caps.

"He planned that?" they exclaimed, and Renge and Kyouya nodded.

"Well he probably felt threatened, so he has taken steps to keep his rank as Lolita boy. I should give him more credit; he's a lot smarter than I thought "said Renge, making her dramatic exit.

Once she exited, Kai sighed and took a sip of her juice.

"I really don't like her. I'd rather put hot coals down my throat, and then hear her talk again".

"You really don't like Renge huh?" said Kyouya, amused.

"It's because when we were younger, there was this girl who always used to pick on Haruhi. I confronted her, and she started messing with me. So, I pulled her hair and told her if I ever got wind of her talking bad about me or Haruhi, I'd do worse things than pulling her hair. Renge reminds me of her" said Kai, crossing her arms in irritation.

Haruhi smiled and punched Kai on the shoulder lightly. "I remember that" she said, and Kai grinned at her. The twins and Tamaki gushed at the cute moment.

"Oh yes. I do remember reading that somewhere in your file. Which reminds me" Kyouya said, and reached into his pocket. He pulled out an envelope and handed it to the twins.

"OH HECK YA!" they said, and pulled out the contents.

"Aww Kai , you were so cute! What happened? You're such a boy now" they said, and Kai yelled and lunged at them, knocking them both on the ground.

"Give me those! I swear to god I'm going to kill you both" she exclaimed.

"No way" they said, and ran away with them. Kai gave Kyouya the look of death, and he simply smiled at her. Before she could kill anybody or do anything else, Honey called out to her.

"Kai-Chan! Come swim with me" he said, waving to her.

"Coming!" she said, then unzipped her jacket.

Kyouya raised his eye brows, but said nothing. Tamaki began to stutter to Haruhi, asking her if she had any surprises he should know about. She shook her head and laughed.

Laughing, Kai jumped into the water, thankful it wasn't that cold. Honey and Mori splashed her playfully, obviously not bothered by the change in outfit.

"Who was that hot girl swimming with Honey and Mori? And where did Kai go?" they asked, and Haruhi burst into laughter.

Kai would be lying if she said she wasn't feeling smug. She had managed to catch both of the twins off guard.

"That was Kai. That's her "undone", so to speak" said Kyouya, chuckling.

The twins must have been so surprised; it took them a long time to say anything.

"It can't be..." they said in unision, their voices low.

Kai grabbed a nearby water gun, and jumped up from the water.

"That's what you two get!" Kai yelled, quickly squirting the twins and swimming away.

The twins evaded the attack but dove in the water after her.

Swimming had never been Kai's best sport, as her small limbs made acceleration of any kind difficult when in water. The twins were closing in on her, the current slowing down as it pushed her towards a nearby cave.

It was dimly lit and far away everyone else's view. Kai almost laughed when she realized she had effectively trapped herself. The water in the cave was shallow, making it so she could stand with the water coming up to her hips.

Kai stood in the back of the cave, arms raised in defeat. The twins had wicked smiles on their faces, happy that they managed to capture their prey. They were very close to her in proximity, invading the distance Kai had been managing to keep between them (both physically and mentally).

"Okay, you two win" Kai told them, voice trembling slightly as they softly brought their hands to cup her chin.

"That was awfully naughty of you Kai-Chan. You might need to be punished" they said in unison. Kai blushed as they both leaned one hand on the wall, faces getting closer.

They were far too close to her. This game of theirs was quickly moving into unknown territory. Kai wasn't sure if this scared her or excited her more.

"Who knew you"...

"Were such a.."

"Dirty girl" they said together huskily, their mouths at each of Kai's ears.

Unbeknownst to her, Kai let out an involuntary groan of pleasure. She was unused to this level of attraction to another person, let alone with two people!

"Oh, did you hear that Kaoru?" Hikaru said smugly, his hand moving to cup the back of her neck.

"It seems our pet has another side of her we never knew" Kaoru said, blowing the bangs out of Kai's face. It was dark in the cave, but Kai could make out the topaz in Kaoru's eyes. Was that look on his face one of desire? What exactly was happening between them? Were they going too far this time with their games?

Kai gasped as she felt hands roam from her neck to her shoulders, leaving a tingling sensation across her skin. Kai opened her mouth to say something, anything, but a finger to her lips softly silenced her.

"Hikaru? Kaoru? Kai?" called Haruhi, not far away from the cave.

"It was just getting good" whispered Kaoru, pouting as he pulled away.

"I know, but we have all the time in the world" Hikaru answered, also backing away.

Kai opened eyes, attempting to snap out of the reverie she was just in. The twins smirked at her, guiding her out of the cave almost regrettably. What just happened? Kai immediately pushed that train of thought out of her head at the sound of Haruhi's voice.

"Kai! There you are! What were you guys doing?" Haruhi asked, going to sit beside Kai on the ledge of the pool.

Kai gave her a fake smile, hoping that Haruhi would drop the subject. Kai didn't like lying to her best friend, but this wasn't something she wanted to share with her just yet.

"We were exploring. This place is pretty big."

Haruhi rolled her eyes and motioned to the giant waterfall nearby.

"Leave it to Kyouya Sempai to go the full nine yards. Are you planning on staying in the pool?"

She gave Kai a searching look, silently asking if everything was ok. Kai gave her a sweet smile in return. It would be better not to worry Haruhi about anything. Besides, Kai wasn't sure what to make of the situation herself. She could feel the twins' eyes on her.

"Yeah, I think I will go put my feet in it. I'll see you guys later!"

Kai waved to the twins, who looked a bit guilty. Haruhi just shook her head smiling, and went to sit down.

The twins, who obviously were slightly confused with themselves, decided they would challenge Tamaki to a water gun fight. After much convincing, Tamaki agreed. Unfortunately, due to his lack of balance, he ran into a totem pole, and unlocked a hidden switch that made a tidal pool. Everyone watched in horror as a huge wave began to form.

"Honey sempai!" screamed Kai, who was already in the pool.

She rushed to get to him, only to get engulfed as well. They disappeared, and the rest of the host club began to freak out.

"Kai! Honey- Sempai!" screamed Haruhi, and she ran into a random direction. The rest of the club ( Except Kyouya) , followed blindly, only to be face to face with crocodiles. "What the heck!" they screamed, and ran away back to Kyouya.

"Okay listen up, I guess the designers for this place have a few kinks they need to work out. Thanks you guys, I collected a lot of data today" he said, smiling at them.

Everyone glared at him, waiting for more information.

"Here is a map of the place, it's safe to assume Honey and Kai washed up here. It may be tough, considering we will be going though rough terrain" he said pointing to a spot in the jungle.

"It looks like there are a lot of undeveloped areas. Any ideas what may be lurking in there?" asked Haruhi, and Kyouya shook his head. The tension in the group grew.

"Alright, Gentleman, this is a mission of survival. It is our sworn duty to save Kai and Honey Sempai!" yelled Tamaki. Everyone nodded, and then ran off in the direction where Honey and Kai were.

After marching for a good hour, rain began to fall, and took cover under a gazebo.

"Mori, they're going to be okay" Haruhi said, grabbing his arm. Mori must have been feeling guilty for not being able to do anything to help his cousin and friend.

"Your right" he said, smiling at her.

Tamaki then began to freak out over the fact that he thought Mori wanted to be Haruhi's new "daddy". Kyouya was being distracted by a phone call, and the twins were teasing Tamaki. Mori, unable to wait any longer, walked off in search.

Haruhi ran after him, and after walking and tripping behind him, he began to carry her.

Looking around, Haruhi screamed as police officers surrounded them and tried to grab her from Mori.

A scream erupted as Honey came into view, knocking soldiers out, one by one. Haruhi watched in absolute shock as he took them all down. The rest of the host club ran up to the scene.

"Haruhi! I was so worried" he said, running up behind her and holding her, much to her dismay. The twins turned to Honey who was staring down at the beaten officers with his cute glare.

"Oh wow!" said Kaoru, and Hikaru added,

"You okay Sempai? Where's Kai at? Is she okay?"

Honey frowned and said "Kai-Chan is hurt! I told her to stay put until I found you guys".

Haruhi gasped, and ran ahead, the twins right behind her. The twins beat her to Kai though, and knelt down to find that she was dozing against a tree. Tears were almost dried on her cheeks, and her wrist a black and blue color.

Haruhi touched Kai's shoulder and said,

"Kai? You okay?".

Kai stirred and opened her eyes. "Huh? Oh I'm fine. Just a bruise" she said, wincing as she examined her arm.

Hikaru and Kaoru frowned as they wiped the excess of the tears off her face.

"Kai..." they said together, their voices melancholy.

"Does it..."

"Hurt?" they both asked, their fingers grazing the tender flesh.

Kai tenderly smiled and said "Well it's not supposed to tickle. I will be fine though. Let's go. Next time, I'd rather go to the beach".

The twins helped her up, and she leaned on Haruhi for support. "Me too" said Haruhi, smiling at her friend, though obviously still worried.

"That can be arranged" said Kyouya, as he and the others approached.
"A trip to the beach would be lovely" said Tamaki, smiling at Haruhi and Kai. Kai noted that his smile lingered ever so longer on her friend. Interesting.

"Then its settled!" Kai said, smiling at her friends. Her gaze traveled to the twins, where it lingered for quite some time...
