Kohaku sat, wedged between a twin and Mori, in the back of a limo still trying to understand what had led to her being practically dragged out of her apartment.

She remembered the knocking, the very loud, incessant knocking that woke her up and remembered her mom telling her to get dressed which she had done albeit she was still mostly asleep while doing so and then she remembered her mom pushing her out of the front door into a waiting group.

As she glanced around the limo, she took in the fact that the entire Host club was there, chattering away or well everyone except Haruhi, Kyoya and herself were chattering away.

"Where are we going?" Kohaku wondered aloud.

"Why Kohaku-Chan, we are going to a commoners fun fair!" Tamaki explained, pulling out a leaflet advertising the fun fair.

"You dragged me out of my bed at 8am on the weekend to go to a fair?" Kohaku huffed, annoyed that she didn't even have a choice.

"B-b-b-but Kohaku-Chan! We all have to go! We're a family!" Tamaki whimpered, pouting like a child.

Kohaku glanced at his pitiful expression before sighing; "Right but in the future a choice would be nice, and the chance to wake up on my own."

Kohaku couldn't help but give in to the childish look on Tamaki's face; he only had good intentions, right?


Kohaku twitched in annoyance, as soon as they had arrived at the fair everyone seemed to pair off and disappear, leaving her with a sleeping Kyoya who had been placed on a bench. There was a part of her that just wanted to walk away without a second thought about the boy but that part was being overpowered by her conscience.

Plopping herself down beside him, she glanced at Kyoya hoping to see signs of him waking up, unfortunately the boy seemed to be in a very deep sleep. Taking the chance to examine the boy further Kohaku noticed that his normally neat hair was messy as if he had just gotten out of bed and his face looked peaceful, relaxed. Realizing what she was doing, she blinked and turned her gaze to the sky, hoping that Kyoya wouldn't be asleep for too long.


Kyoya opened his eyes slowly, realizing that he was no longer in his bed, in his room and most likely not even in his house. He didn't even have to think about who would dare move him while he was sleeping, only one person would be stupid enough to do that. As he looked around he realized he was sitting on a bench in a park somewhere and that there seemed to be some sort of Fun Fair on.

Sighing, he stood up and checked his pockets, Tamaki had remembered to put in his wallet but of course he had forgotten his phone, typical.

"Oh! You're awake."

The feminine voice caused Kyoya to look up in surprise, standing in front of him holding two bottles of water was Kohaku.

"Here."

She held out the unopened bottle for Kyoya who took it wordlessly, he paused for a moment before asking;

"Were you waiting for me?"

Kohaku nodded, somewhat sheepishly before replying; "Yeah… I felt bad about leaving you on the bench yourself and when I went to ask everyone else about you they had all rushed off."

Kyoya wasn't surprised that they had all rushed off, or well most likely in Haruhi's case, was dragged away but he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised at the fact that Kohaku had sat with him, it was strange to say the least.

There was an awkward silence between the pair before Kyoya cleared his throat;

"Thank you for the water, by the way."

Kohaku nodded in acknowledgement before glancing around nervously.

"I think we should try and find everyone," Kyoya stated, adjusting his glasses before looking around.

"Yeah..." Kohaku said, trailing behind the taller boy.


Kohaku glanced around the fair, it had just left 10AM and it was starting to get slightly busier so she had hoped to find the rest of the Host Club quickly before more people arrived. Turning her head slightly, she noticed that Kyoya was taking a great interest in all of the stands that were set up around the park, almost as if he had never seen them before.

"Have you been to a Fun Fair before Ootori-San?" She asked.

"No…and even if we did it wouldn't have been a commoner's fair."

Kohaku knew he didn't mean the insult but still…she couldn't help but shoot a glare at his back as he walked up to a games stall.

"What is the point of this game?" Kyoya asked.

Kohaku blinked at the question before walking up to the stand and giving the man enough money for three shots.

"It's simple, try and get the hoop around the ring. If you do, you get to pick a prize."

Kohaku scanned the assorted toys before pointing at a stuffed panda and nodding to herself.

She narrowed her eyes in concentration as she tried to judge how much force she should put behind the throw, thinking she had the right idea she threw the first hoop only for it to fall short of the desired ring. Pouting at her failure, she tried again, this time though, she put far too much force behind it and the hoop missed the ring completely.

Kohaku let out a huff of frustration before trying to line up her last hoop with the ring, as she threw it, she hoped that it would really be third time's a charm but unfortunately today it didn't seem like it would be.

As she glanced at Kyoya she mumbled; "It's obviously fixed."

Turning around, she glanced at the nearby stands, having been literally kicked out of her house this morning she had no time to grab breakfast and boy, was her stomach reminding her about it. Completely forgetting about the boy behind her, she followed her stomach to the sweets vendor who was currently selling candyfloss.

As she walked back to where Kyoya was standing, she was surprised to see him holding the stuffed panda that she had pointed at earlier.

"You can't just take that you know..." Kohaku said, glancing warily at the man who was currently occupied with a pair of young children.

"I'm shocked that you think I would stop that low, I won it actually. It seems that the game isn't fixed... you are just bad at it."

Kohaku glared at the tall boy but the effect was rendered completely useless by the piece of candyfloss hanging from her mouth.

"Whatever."

Kohaku turned and began to walk again when Kyoya caught up with her, carrying the stuffed panda awkwardly.

"It seems you don't want this anymore, shall I find someone to get rid of it?" Kyoya said, eyes scanning the crowd for a small child.

"Eh? For me?" Kohaku asked, shocked at the act of kindness.

"As repayment for the bottle of water of course."

Kohaku didn't listen to his reasoning and quickly took the panda from his hands, giving the animal a tight hug.

"Thank you, Ootori-San," Kohaku grinned up at him.

Kyoya adjusted his glasses while he spoke; "Call me Kyoya."

Kohaku smiled and hugged her panda once more while whispering; "Thanks Kyoya-San."


Kyoya was surprised at how happy Kohaku was after receiving such a cheap toy, the smile she gave him was possibly one of the few he had seen her give and yet it seemed so...bright. Just why did that panda mean so much to her?

"Aren't you a bit old for stuffed toys, Kohaku-san?" Kyoya probed, hoping to find out why a simple thing made her so happy.

"Maybe... but the panda brings back happy memories," the girl murmured through her candyfloss.

"Oh?" Kyoya wondered.

"Yeah...my dad... he gave me a stuffed panda when I was five years old. I...lost it when I was older. I wish I didn't...it reminded me of happier times."

Kyoya mentally took note of how her voice lowered, saddened when she spoke of the past, of her father.

"Is your father dead?" He asked, noticing how Kohaku held onto the panda tightly as he spoke.

"Yeah...dead." Kyoya had to step closer to hear the barely uttered words.

Kohaku cleared her throat before changing the subject to the missing Hosts. Kyoya continued to examine the girl as she spoke, somewhat awkwardly, and noticed that she seemed to keep a distance between the pair, something he had grown used to but it still intrigued him as to why. She had no problem with Haruhi, so what was it about men that scared her?

What exactly happened to cause her to fear everything male?


Kohaku scanned the slowly forming crowds, hoping to spot a pair of twins, or maybe a short brunette being pulled along by an enthusiastic blonde but she was out of luck, heck she couldn't even see the giant form of Mori with Honey on his shoulders. She couldn't help but wonder where the heck the other Hosts had disappeared to? Surely the Fun Fair wasn't that big and they had noticed that they had two members missing... but then again the only one likely to notice anything would be Haruhi...and maybe Honey and Mori but still!

Oh, it wasn't that she didn't like walking around with Kyoya. She didn't mind the silence that fell between the both of them but he was just too damn smart, noticing things that others would wave off and most likely noting them down in his head. Being around the too observant boy made her feel like all of her secrets were written on her face, plain as day, for him to read whenever he wished and she didn't like it. There was a reason she kept her secrets, she didn't need to share them with anyone!

Although...it was rather sweet of him to give her the stuffed panda and while he may have only been showing off when he managed to win that game, he still chose the panda she pointed out and proceeded to give it to her. Maybe he wasn't as evil as she thought but then again...maybe he was trying to get her to lower her defences and spill her heart out to him.

Glancing at her watch, she realized that it was nearly eleven am. She had been here for almost three hours and had barely done anything! Well...it was her choice to stay with Kyoya, but they had been walking around for an hour already? It didn't feel like it was that long.

"So Kyoya-San..." Kohaku turned to speak but stopped, realising that Kyoya was nowhere to be seen and now all she could see where many people, families, friends, all together while she had been separated from Kyoya.

"Ah, Kyoya-San?" She called out, feeling helpless as she struggled to see above the heads of those surrounding her.

Gripping tightly onto the panda, she couldn't help but feel like a child who had lost their parent, as her head turned, trying to find the tall boy. Realising that trying to look through the busy crowd was useless, so she made her way to an empty patch of grass, free from the grasps of the crowd. As she made her way to the empty spot, she was approached by three, rather intimidating men in suits.

"Are you Nakamura Kohaku?" The blonde man asked.

Kohaku wordlessly nodded, clenching her panda in fear and unknowingly stepping backwards.

The second man, bald but with dark facial hair pulled out a phone and dialled an unknown number as Kohaku began to panic. Who were they and what did they want with her?

"We found her...yes...we'll keep her here until you arrive."

Kohaku's eyes darted between the three men as her thoughts began to race, who was going to arrive?

"Ah...there you are Kohaku-san."

Kyoya's voice brought her out of her panic as she noticed all three men bow to him. Her confusion must have been clear on her face because Kyoya went on to explain who the strange, or at least strange to her, men were.

"I was...worried when you disappeared so I contacted my family staff. I know that you don't handle crowds well so I thought it would be best if I found you before you slipped into a panic attack. We don't want you causing a scene now do we?"

The question was obviously rhetorical and a part of Kohaku was wondering if he truly was worried about her or if he didn't want her to panic and eventually embarrass him.

While she was lost in her thoughts, it seemed the three men...bodyguards, disappeared and Kyoya beckoned for Kohaku to come forward.

"I know you don't like being close with men Kohaku-San but to prevent us from being separated again, I ask that you try and bear with it."

Kohaku was unsure what he meant until Kyoya began walking beside Kohaku, leaving little to no gap between the pair.

Gulping, Kohaku said mentally; 'Right Kohaku, just bear with it for now."
