Hey, everybody! So sorry for not updating in so long… I got lazy after summer vacation started ^^' anyway, about my OC Akira, I hope you guys don't think of her as, like, a Mary Sue, or anything, because I'm not trying to make her perfect.

Well, time to stop rambling on, and hope you continue to enjoy my fanfic!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club.

*Chapter 10*

*At the beach*

"Look! Akira-san and Arata-kun are here!" a girl squealed, pointing towards the edge of the beach. Heads swiveled around to see the Sohma twins climbing out of their limo, waving and smiling.

"Arata…" Akira nearly growled as she kept her smile on. "Why'd you have to accept that stupid invitation?" For once, Akira was wearing girl clothes; a white sundress over a black two piece bathing suit. Arata was just wearing a T-shirt and swimming trunks.

Her brother punched her lightly in the arm.

"I did it to have fun!" he grinned at her. "Lighten up and go have some fun while I reclaim my identity." With that, he walked down the beach to the waiting girls.

Akira sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, looking around. Tamaki was busy flirting with some girls, and the twins were goofing around, like usual. Haruhi was sitting down under an umbrella, and Mori and Haninozuka… were teaching the girls some martial arts moves. Or something like that.

Weird.

There was someone missing, though…. Akira glanced around and her eyes narrowed as she saw the certain someone walking towards her.

The very annoying certain someone.

"Sohma-san," Kyoya said smoothly, bowing towards her. She forced a smile on her face.

"Kyoya-san! How nice it is to see you again!" Several heads turned around.

"Same goes for me, Sohma-san."Some guests quickly gathered around them.

"Uwahh! Akira-san, you really do look a lot like Arata-kun…"

"Have you two known each other for a long time?" one girl asked curiously. Akira shrugged modestly.

"We've met a couple of times at business parties, things like that," she said, smiling. The girls couldn't help but feel friendly towards her as they squealed delight.

"Really?"

"Oh my gosh…"

The crowd of girls continued to babble on, and Akira started to zone out a little, seeing as all she had to do was smile and nod, agreeing with whatever they said. Kyoya watched her silently for a moment, before turning around and walking off to resume his duties.

*Later on…*


"CENTIPEDE!" The girls all shrieked, running away from Tamaki, the twins and Honey soon following them. The clueless king blinked, while Haruhi merely walked over to him, picked up the centipede, and threw it away.

"…." Akira scoffed at the three boys who had run away. She had switched back to being Arata, since her brother had left early. "Really?" she sighed. Everyone came scurrying back.

"H-Haruhi-kun's so manly," someone sighed.

"Y-yeah, so is Akira-kun…"

"Yeah…"

Akira turned to walk away, but she noticed that the Host Club boys were all huddled up, talking. As she took a few steps towards them to listen, she found that that wasn't exactly needed, because they were talking… rather loudly.

"…So, the first one to find Haruhi's weakness wins?" Hikaru asked, grinning evilly. Kyoya nodded, and then paused, pulling out another set of photos.

"You get twice the amount of photos if you find out Akira's weakness, too."

"We're in, too!" Honey said happily, and Mori nodded. With fire in their eyes, Tamaki and the twins punched their fists into the air.

"The game starts!"

Akira stared at them, and then sweat-dropped.

"…Really?"

*In the evening*


After several failed attempts to frighten the two Host Club girls, the twins had finally given up.

"This game is pretty useless…." Hikaru sighed.

"Yeah… I'm getting pretty bored…" Kaoru agreed. "Neither Haruhi nor Akira seem to have any weaknesses, it's like they're afraid of nothing. At. All."

"Yeah…"

Just then, Tamaki popped up behind them.

"Look!" he said, brandishing a bucket of snakes around. "This is sure to be icky; a bunch of rat snakes all together!"

"Tono…" Hikaru scoffed. "It's icky, not scary."

Kaoru frowned, deep in thought.

"Wait a minute…. Rat snakes?"

*On the other side…*


Akira and Haruhi walked along the edge of the beach quietly, tired by the boys attempts of frightening them. The silence wasn't exactly pleasant, but wasn't awkward, either.

"Oi, Haruhi…" Akira started, and the girl turned to look at her.

"What?" she shrugged and shook her head.

"Nevermind." Haruhi frowned and opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off by a cry. They both looked up to see some of their guests being surrounded by a group of guys. With a glance at each other, the two took off running.

"Come on, let's-," the tallest boy started to say, but howled in pain as a bucket of sea urchins hit his back.

"It's rude to ignore a wish of a girl," Haruhi stated firmly."Leave them alone." Akira ran up behind Haruhi and glanced at the boys skeptically.

"…."

"What, you two think you're so tough, huh?" a guy snarled, charging forward in an attempt to attack them. Narrowing her eyes, Akira grabbed the boy's hand and twisted it until he howled in pain.

"Well, I'm going to be completely honest and say…. yes?"

"Haruhi-kun!" one of the girls suddenly cried, and Akira turned around to see her friend get pushed off the cliff.

"….Well, crap." She turned towards the guy she was holding and shoved him down, seeing the other Host Club members running towards them. "You guys take care of this." Without a glance back, Akira dove into the water.

*A few minutes later*


"Akira! Haruhi!" Tamaki ran over helped Akira drag the brunette onto the shore. Akira laid down, sighing, while everyone else crowded around.

"Geez… remind me to never do that again…" she closed her eyes.

"I'm fine, Senpai…" That was Haruhi's voice. Akira raised an eyelid to see the king grab her by the shoulders.

"How in the world could you think a mere girl could handle it?" he shouted, shaking Haruhi's shoulders, and Akira then opened both her eyes, frowning.

"Oi, Suoh, you're forgetting something. A girl did handle it. Yours truly." Seeing as she was ignored, Akira rolled her eyes and sat up to listen to her friend's blunt response.

"I don't see what reasons you have to be so mad at me for, Senpai. I didn't do anything wrong."

It was eerily quiet until Tamaki finally spoke up again, turning his back on her.

"You didn't? That's a complete lie. I'm not going to speak a word to you again unless you admit that you were foolish and wrong!"

*Later on*


"I think it's going to rain tonight…" Akira muttered, staring out into the sky. She had changed from her wet clothes a black tank top and jeans. They were all waiting around in the dining table for Haruhi.

"I agree!" Haninozuka nodded vigorously. "It looks so gloomy outside…"

"Speaking of gloomy…" Hikaru started. Everyone turned towards Tamaki, who was curled up against a pole.

"Tono, if you're going to mope like that…"

"It would've been better if you hadn't argued with her in the first placed," Kaoru sighed, shaking his head. Just then, the doors opened to reveal Haruhi, wearing a pink, frilly dress. Nearly everyone stared at her.

"Wooow, Haru-chan!" Honey gave her a thumbs up. "Kawaii!"

"Haruhi, did you buy that yourself?" Kaoru asked curiously.

"No…. my dad repacked my suitcase."

"….Good job, Haruhi's dad!"

They all gathered around at the table to eat, but the atmosphere there wasn't exactly the best.

"L-let's eat, Haru-chan!" Honey smiled, sweat-dropping, and that broke the tension, slightly.

Very, very slightly.

Akira watched, amused, as Haruhi continuously ate more and more. Tamaki stared at her, horrified.

"A-aren't you eating a little too much…" he whispered, and Haruhi looked at him, expressionless.

"I thought you said you weren't going to talk to me, hm?" she asked, and continued to eat. He flinched.

"You aren't being very cute…."

When Haruhi ignored him, he stood up, slamming his hand onto the table.

"So you aren't going to reconsider? Fine! Kyoya, show me to my room!" With that, the haughty king stalked out of the room. Kyoya also got up.

"Excuse me," he murmured, and left. Haruhi stopped eating, sighing.

"Maybe I should learn martial arts…"

"That's what you were thinking, huh?" Hikaru stared at her.

"Though that's not really a bad idea," Kaoru shrugged. "But… maybe you should consider what you did." Akira glanced up at him, and he sweat-dropped. "I mean, Haruhi, you know what you couldn't and could do, and you obviously couldn't fight, so why did you barge in like that?"

"We were all worried, you know, Haru-chan," Honey nodded moodily. Haruhi blinked in shock, and then hung her head low.

"I'm sorry for worrying you…"

In a flash, Honey and the twins were by her side, hugging her.

"What are you talking about silly? It's fin-," they stared at her as she clapped a hand over her mouth and raced out the room.

"I think she ate too much crab," Hikaru sighed, sitting back down at the table again. Akira pushed her completely full plate away and stood up.

"I'll be turning in, then…" she murmured, and started to walk away. Kaoru stared at her in surprise.

"You didn't even eat anything! Aren't you hungry?" she paused at the door, and looked over her shoulder.

"Not really…" she paused, and then added before leaving, "And there's the fact that I have a seafood allergy."


Kyoya closed the door behind the two idiots in his room, and sighed. Now what was he going to do?

Solve the other problem.

Kyoya walked down the hallway until he reached the room he was looking for, and knocked on it lightly. There was a sound of movement coming from inside, and then the door slowly opened halfway, Akira leaning on it.

"And what have I done to have the pleasure of the great Ootori knocking on my door?" she asked sarcastically. He adjusted his glasses.

"Usually, it would be polite to let the owner of the resort into his own place."

"Technically, I'm renting it out, so it's kind of my place, for the moment."

"You're not paying, so it's more like I'm lending it to you."

"…. Touché." With an exaggerated sigh, Akira opened the door and let him in, sitting at the chair near the desk. "Okay, so what do you want? An apology?" Kyoya blinked at her as he hovered near the door.

"Of course not. You haven't done anything that wrong…" he paused. "Although, the apology bouquets for the guests will be expensive…" Akira glowered at him.

"You really hate to lose…" she closed her eyes and pressed her fingers against her head. "I'll pay for the full cost of the bouquets." Kyoya raised an eyebrow, adjusting his glasses again.

"You can freely use your mother's money like that?" She looked up at him.

"What are you talking about? I'm using my money." When he frowned, Akira rolled her eyes at him. "I already own a fraction of the company, under supervision, of course." Kyoya felt a twitch of irritation. That girl didn't even have to work hard, and she already owned part of her parent's business? He opened his mouth to reply, but there was a loud crash of thunder, and the lights flickered momentarily before it completely died, sending them into darkness.

"…Lovely." Akira finally said. "Any flashlights here?" Kyoya sighed.

"Turn around and open the drawer on your right." She looked over at the desk and did what he said.

"Flashlights aren't this slim…," she muttered, groping around in the drawer, and heard the boy sigh again.

"No, those are candles. Pull out the matches, too." She dropped the candles, startled.

"What? No!" Kyoya squinted at the outline of the girl.

"Why not?" Akira snorted and stood up, walking over to the curtains and pulling them open. Thunder cracked again, illuminating the room for a few moments.

"Trust me Ootori, if you see something burning down right before your eyes, you wouldn't want to have anything to do with fire for the rest of your life."

"What?" The lights blinked back to life, and Akira knelt down, picking up the candles and throwing them back in the drawer before turning back to Kyoya.

"A long time ago, I got into a car accident, and only just got out of it before the thing burst into flames. Happy?" Without waiting for an answer, she continued on.

" I'd like to go to sleep now, so will you please leave?"

A/N: This was longer than I expected it to be… hope you enjoyed it, criticism is appreciated~!
