"So what are we doing?" Ryo sighed as she looked at the rest of the group. Everyone was chatting in the library while waiting for the second years to finish up class.

"Basanova found a treasure map!" Hikaru and Kaoru said together. "So we're going treasure hunting!"

Ryo nodded. "Um… okay…" Ryo smiled. "I guess that explains why red head is here." She smiled and sat down. "So what kind of treasure is it?"

"We have no idea!" Honey laughed.

Tsukiko chuckled. "I guess we'll just have to figure out… Want some cake while we wait Honey?"

"YEAH!" Honey grinned. He sat down next to Tsukiko and the two ate cake.

"So when are the others going to get here?" Kaoru asked looking over.

"When their class ends." Rio said calmly, reading a book.

"So why are you here Rio-senpai?" Haruhi asked calmly. "You don't usually spend time in the club meetings."

"No… But Yukki asked me to join so that we could spend time together and she could still find out what kind of treasure we are looking for."

"Oh yeah, you and Yuyu-chan are dating now." Honey said looking over smiling. "That's so fun!"

Ryo smiled. "You make a good boyfriend Rio-nii."

"He does!" Yukki said running in and hugging Rio. She laughed happily. "He's just a big sweetheart!"

"Alright let's get started." Kyouya said walking in. "First, let's decide how we share the work."

"Kyouya-Senpai." Ryo said looking over as he stood there. He picked up some papers and looked them over.

"The text and map are both mentioned in this old book. We shouldn't be concerned in which we should decipher first. As of now we don't know if both are necessary."

"Why can't we just go start digging all over the place?" Hikaru asked. "Wouldn't that be better?"

"We need to know where to dig." Kyouya said calmly. "Mori-senpai, Haruhi, Ryo, Yukki and Rio-Senpai will join me. We will work on the text."

"Sounds good." Yukki smiled.

"Honey-Senpai, please work on the map. Hikaru, Kaoru, Serenity, Lucia, and Tsukiko can help you." Kyouya said calmly. "Kasanoda-Kun, you can help whichever group you want."

"Then… then I'll be in Fujioka's group."

"Roger!" Honey smiled getting up.

"… What about Tono?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked looking at the door. They both seemed to expect Tamaki to come walking in any moment.

"He will attend a meeting at a meeting at the Rio Grand Hotel. He also wanted to search for the treasure but it would have been too troublesome if he didn't attend the meeting, so he left." Kyouya said calmly.

"Again?" The twins asked.

"Well, it can't be helped. Perhaps he will be even more absent from now on." Kyouya said calmly.

Oh great… Now how is he going to realize his feelings for Haruhi? If he's not even here he can't spend time with her.

"You should understand his situation very well." Kyouya said looking off. "Now let's get started."

Everyone nodded and got set up on their tasks.

Tsukiko smiled as she watched Honey eat his cake while looking at the map. He was overly happy like always. She thought back to when she had first entered Ouran. Honey had been sitting in the front room with Mori smiling and munching on cake. She had pretended to be a guy and sat in the back. She had watched him all during class, having recognized him as her once karate teacher. Even then she had pretended to be a guy. Ever since she was little she had acted like a guy.

Honey had always been so sweet. She had watched, even when he acted hard and more mature she had recognized how sweet he was. It had been her secret, but she had always had a crush on him. And now spending time with him, it made her happy.

"Tsu-chan." Honey said looking over at her. "Do you think this spot on the map looks like a strawberry?"

Tsukiko smiled as she looked at the spot he was pointing to. "I think that is some frosting from your cake."

"Oh…" Honey laughed. "You're right!" He wiped it off with his finger and smiled. "You're so smart Tsukiko!"

Mori nodded from where he stood. "Be careful not to cover the map in cake please. We can't find the treasure then."

"I think cake is better than treasure!" Honey laughed.

"Sweets in general are better than treasure." Tsukiko laughed. Honey-kun I wonder how you think of me. If you knew how I felt about you, what would you say?

"Hey look at this Kyouya-Senpai." Ryo smiled holding up a book. "What do you think?"

Kyouya looked it over and nodded. "Good find." He smiled. "That was a good job. Can I keep this near me, so I can reference it easier?"

"Of course." Ryo smiled and walked off. She paused as she spotted the twins standing with Lucia and Serenity looking over the map.

"Maybe here!" Hikaru said. "I think this looks like the east quad area."

"No way you idiot." Serenity laughed. "You're thinking of the west quad area."

"Is not!"

"Is so!" The two continued to argue and Ryo smiled. Even though it was arguing, they were both doing so playfully and it was sweet. Too bad that idiot hasn't realized that he loves Serenity. Their life would go a lot easier if they would admit they loved each other.

"Ryo?" Rio said walking up behind her. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing." She said calmly. "Just thinking."

"Alright…." Rio turned and walked back over towards Yukki. She smiled and hugged him.

Ryo smiled. She was slightly jealous, and glanced over at where Kyouya sat. I wish we could be like that.

Later, the group all grinned as they figured out a logical place for the treasure map to be indicating. "Then, if starting from the cedar trees we walk 30 ken towards the foot of the hill, then we arrive…" Haruhi was interrupted by the door slamming open.

"DID YOU FIND THE TREASURE?!"

They all turned from where they were looking over the papers. "Tama-chan!" Honey said excitedly.

"What about your meeting?" The twins asked together.

"I couldn't put it out of my mind, so I came back as soon as the meeting was over. Did you make any progress in the deciphering of the map? Daddy will also do his best to help!" He said looking over the papers Haruhi had.

Ryo sighed and looked over as Tamaki started acting will again. That idiot.

"At last, we can start digging up! Follow me!"

Lucia leaned back as she watched Tamaki and some of the others dig around. This club is so much fun, I'm so glad that we are here. "Hey Luc come join us!" Kaoru waved.

She smiled and headed over to where he stood by the others with a shovel. "Where should I start?"

"Right here." He smiled and started digging.

Luc smiled, but paused as she noticed something. Hikaru wasn't there. He was over by Haruhi. "Kaoru? Are you and Hikaru fighting again?"

"No." Kaoru smiled calmly. "I'm just digging over here, while he's digging over there."

"If you say so…. If you need anything you can talk to me." Luc continued to dig and smiled. "I'm always here for you."

"Thanks Luc." Kaoru laughed. "Oh… Sounds like someone found something." He turned to where Tamaki and the others were. "Let's go!"

"Sounds fun!" Luc smiled.

Serenity looked over Honey's shoulder at the box they had found in the ground. "Okay I will open it." Tamaki laughed.

"It is empty?"

Serenity started laughing as everyone started in shock and surprise at the empty box. "Some great prank."

Everyone started laughing as well. Serenity glanced over in search of Hikaru and found him still digging. "Hikaru…" She paused as she noticed water suddenly spray up from the ground. "Um… Hikaru?" She started laughing as the water sprayed up hitting Hikaru and Kaoru, who had just walked up behind his brother, in the face.

"Ha! What is it?"

"Ah hot!" Kaoru wined.

Serenity started laughing as everyone stared at the hidden hot springs in shock. She started laughing.

Ryo flushed slightly as she watched the guys, all wearing towels only, get into the hot spring. "Come on in!" Serenity waved. "The waters great!" The girls were relaxing in the water as well. Despite the embarrassment everyone had joined in. Just they all the girls wore bathing suits.

"This is so nice." Yukki smiled.

"I'm I the only one who thinks this is a little reckless? Having girls and guys in the same hot spring?" Rio sighed, resting back.

"It's fine." Hikaru shrugged. "We're all friends."

"As long as the boys don't lose their towels we're fine." Serenity laughed. She smirked and splashed some of the water at Hikaru. "So don't do anything crazy idiot."

Hikaru smirked and the two started a water splash fight.

"Let's go." Luc smiled. She wore her bathing suit and happily headed in and headed towards where Kaoru was watching his brother.

"I guess." Ryo slowly stepped in and sighed. The water felt perfect. "Oh! This is nice!" She relaxed down, forgetting her un-comfortableness at being near a shirtless Kyouya.

"It is lucky that Hikaru and Haruhi discovered this spring." Kyouya said moving over by Ryo. She was glad that her face was already red from the heat, so it hid her blush. "I guess this is a worthy treasure."

"I don't think this was the treasure the map was talking about."

Kyouya nodded calmly and seemed to relax more than Ryo had ever seen him. "Are you looking forward to the skiing trip?" Kyouya asked after a moment.

"I guess…. I'm not a big skier… But I think it will be fun." She smiled. "I will miss hanging out with all the club members."

Kyouya looked at her and smiled. "Do you really think Tamaki is not going to have us all end up tagging along at one point?"

Ryo paused and started laughing. "Probably." She relaxed back. "I'm just going to enjoy this water now…. Soak up the heat before I go to the cold."

Kyouya didn't say anything, but he didn't move. Ryo found it peaceful, despite the noise that the rest of the club was making. Kaoru and Luc had joined Hikaru and Serenity in the splash fight. Tamaki had decided to join, and ended up getting soaked as the other four teamed up on him. Kasanada, Mori, Rio, and Yukki watched at a distance silently. Honey and Tsukiko ate some cake, even though they were in the water as well. Haruhi sat with a blank face as she enjoyed the water, but that didn't last long as Tamaki ran to her for help. Ryo smiled and glanced out of the corner of her eye. Kyouya sat calmly right next to her. I wish we could all stay like this forever…. Crazy, fun, but perfect….. No problems… Ryo closed her eyes and rested back to enjoy the rest of the time in the hot spring.
