I take it back, school might stop me. Anyways, wow the poll is doing well! When I mentioned Kyoya, he seemed to shoot up. I don't detect a little favoritism towards him for the authors sake do I? Also love the reviews and how did you guys like the last chapter? I really liked it and I think Honey made a good child's character to use to tell the story.

Chapter 5

"And then the tidal pool washed him away. Mori-senpai was so worried the entire time, he was as clumsy as boss!" Hikaru continued the story about when the Host Club had gone to the water park owned by Kyoya's family. The girls were having mixed reactions throughout the entire story. Some would laugh while others would worry about Honey's safety. They swooned and they gasped at the tale Hikaru spun about how Honey had beaten Kyoya's private family police force so easily.

"It didn't happen quite like that brother. It was more like..." Kaoru went on making the tale even more crazy than it actually was. I heard Haruhi sigh quietly beside me and I decided to get back to the homework we had. I hadn't been doing too well and had asked Haruhi for help but we'd rarely had a chance because of the twins. They were just so clingy!

Kyoya walked over and said, "Haruhi that's another 50,000 yen for skipping out on hosting duties."

"What! I'm helping Akari with her homework that's all!" She yelped and I immediately tried to get Kyoya to change his mind.

"Kyoya-senpai please don't add onto her debt, I just needed help with my studies. If you want Haruhi to host, you can always help me yourself," I said calmly, pushing aside the anxiety I felt at the offer. I got a look from him in return but I couldn't see his eyes from the light reflected in his glasses.

"I guess I could do that." Haruhi and I both looked at him in surprise, having not expected him to agree. Haruhi slowly got up and went over to the girls to see what she could do to entertain them. Kyoya sat down next to me in her place and I pointed to the algebra problem I was having trouble understanding.

"Graphing inequalities huh," he mumbled to himself.

"I'm having trouble remembering how to graph the line and which way to color. The teacher is always going on about how to check the work yet I'm confused how to and why," I said absent-mindedly, having explained the same things to Haruhi, "I also can't remember how to tell which sign means what."

"Remembering the sign is easy. An old trick they teach in elementary is to look at it like an 'alligator' mouth. The way the mouth opens up to is the bigger number right? The so-called alligator ignores the little prey aka the little number because it won't tame his appetite. The big number will, therefore that's why he goes after it. So that's how you can remember which sign is which. Like it says here, the y would be less than x+2 because the mouth is facing towards x+2. Does that make sense?" I nodded slowly, realizing how it felt like he was talking to me like a child. I looked at the inequality and solved it but stopped at the graph. I looked up at him in embarrassment while he sighed in exasperation.

"The next trick is easy to remember. If the y is greater, the shading will be above the line. Reason being is because the y will always be greater, you shade where it makes the inequality come true. The opposite is true if the inequality would be y is less than. I hope that makes enough sense," He said making a fake graph to the side on a different sheet of paper. A couple more examples and I felt like an idiot for not grasping it right away. It seemed easy when Kyoya explained it.

I finished up the rest of the problems and nearly forgot about him being there until he took my paper to look over my work. He nodded in approval only having missed a couple questions, mainly because of my work. I sighed in relief and let my head rest on the table. I hadn't been getting any sleep with all the homework. I didn't know how to keep up with it or how Haruhi did it. I guess that's what it's like being an honor student though. Before I knew it, Id fallen asleep.

Kyoya's POV

I was trying to think of a way to explain what she had done wrong on some of the problems when I felt a light thud on the table. I looked over at Akari in surprise though you wouldn't be able to tell it behind my glasses. I smiled down at her. She looked so at ease, the way most people do in their sleep. I decided to put her work away in my notebook so I could give it back to her when she woke up. Picking her up and careful not to wake her, I took her over to a nearby open couch. I laid her down and put a nearby blanket on her along with my uniform jacket over her just because the blanket didn't cover her completely. I looked up and received looks from the rest of the hosts and the few fan girls left for the last 5 minutes of closing. As soon as they saw I was looking, they glanced down and started talking again. I stayed near Akari just to make sure to use the excuse that she would owe me later.

I got on my laptop and tried to think of something that would help me figure out exactly who Akari was. She had come to this school without any back story and I would know, seeing as I could just go look through the records. She didn't even tell us her last name when we first met which is suspicious. At this school, it matters what family you come from, and even in Haruhi's case, people recognize she's the honor student because she doesn't have a famous last name.

I remembered the story she had told "us" yesterday about the sun and the moon family. I decided to search the moon family and was shocked to see what I found. I'm quite surprised I didn't see it before.

Akari's POV

I woke up an hour later and was surprised where I woke up. I could've swore I was over at the table when I'd fallen asleep. Whatever was covering me was really warm though. I snuggled under it, trying to cover up completely. Then I felt a pressure off near my head and immediately tensed up. I slowly looked up and saw Kyoya. I relaxed and stretched out to see what he was looking at on him computer. When I saw what it was, I immediately froze. That's when he seemed to realize I'd moved and saw what he had looked up. I saw him pale slightly and I knew I was completely white.

I jumped up and tried to run out the door. When I was about a yard away, I felt someone grab my hand and pull me back. Kyoya pulled us into a different room and let go of my hand. That's when I slapped him but I was careful not to touch his glasses. It didn't seem to faze him, he kept looking at me in a weird way.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to know what family you were from. You know which families we're from," he said, looking at me through his glasses. Again, I couldn't see his eyes because of the reflecting light but I couldn't look at him. I wouldn't look at him. I didn't even know the other hosts had come in until it was too late. Kyoya added, as if an afterthought, "Hamada-sama." They all gasped and looked at me as if they didn't know how to act around me. I looked over at them, scared of what they thought of me now. They were all blocking the door and I was near the window. I knew it was cliché but it was the only option of escape. I turned around and ran through the window. I wasn't dumb so I knew it would be a long fall. I grabbed ledges here and there and eventually made it down, rolling on my feet. I was a little dizzy and my legs hurt from the impact but I pushed off the ground and took off running at a sprint.

Hosts POV

"Hamada huh." Hikaru and Kaoru said. They all watched Akari run off after crashing through the window. She sure knew how to climb, seeing as she'd been doing tricks the entire way down. They all looked at each other except for Kyoya and Tamaki. They continued staring out the window.

"She's a part of one of the most feared and ruthless families in all of Japan. The Hamada's practically run Japan, what with all their connections," Kyoya said to no one in particular.

"Their also notorious for their looks. Now we understand a part of Akari's sun and moon family story. It also explains why she only told us her first name. I wished we'd known so we could help her. We must've appeared scared of her and maybe that's why she ran off," Tamaki said sadly, showing a rare side of himself.

"But in the story, didn't she say they only had a son?" asked Hikaru.

"Yeah... And what about the stolen baby girl?" continued Kaoru, lost in thought. They all looked back out the window, watching Akari run off to who knows where.

Wow that turned out a little differently than what I'd intended... I wonder if you guys will be paying more close attention to the story, now that it has some meaning behind it. And I've finally introduced her last name and what it means! I didn't really like how the one on one time with Kyoya went but oh well. He's only in like third place anyway. By the way, here are the polls!

Honey: 7

Kaoru: 5

Kyoya: 4

Mori: 3

Hikaru: 2

Tamaki: 1

Poor Tamaki... Anyway the next chapter might take me a while too. I have 2 research papers due this week and I have yet to get even a clue on how to write them. See you guys with the next chapter!

Edited on 7/4/15 Happy 4th of July U.S.A. readers! I'm still not very proud of this chapter but I feel like it got the ball rolling a little more. Oh well, it is what it is. It was my first fanfiction anyways.
