Chapter 4- Wait, why do we have to go to a mall?

Kisa dragged her twin to the Host Club, determined to get them there with enough time to explain things, and be gone with Haruhi and Emily before the club opened for business. She was finally, after a week of club activities, feeling comfortable enough to ask them something like this. Hopefully they wouldn't be too upset, especially since she and Emily hadn't gone to their dance party from the night before. Though, from what Haruhi had grumbled this morning, they hadn't missed much.

"Haruhi! We need to go shopping." Kisa called. "Hey, Kyouya, is it okay if Emily, Haruhi and I go shopping instead of being here and entertaining people?"

"Actually the club is closed today." Kyouya shrugged. "So there is no need to ask."

"Hey, Hikaru, Kaoru? Where is the nearest mall?" Kisa called.

"Wait, why do we need to go to the mall?" Haruhi asked.

"I don't want to go shopping." Emily groaned.

"Well, there is" "A mall nearby" "Why don't we all go together!" The twins announced, grinning.

"Why do we need to go to a mall anyways?" Kyouya asked, clearly grumpy with the twins decision.

"Can we go to a commoners mall? Please?" Tamaki practically howled, bouncing from foot to foot in excitement. Kyouya, who was standing closest to Kisa, saw her suddenly smile. She had been staring at her cousin and sister, waiting for them to realize something was wrong.

"Five, four, three, two, one." Kisa murmured under her breath, just loud enough for Kyouya to hear.

"OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!" Emily suddenly screamed, making the twins, who had been leaning on her shoulders, suddenly spring into the air.

"Oh no, we are so dead." Haruhi suddenly gasped, going pale.

"Whats wrong?" Honey asked, tugging on Kisa's skirt. He would have asked Emily or Haruhi, but the pair were too upset to answer anyones questions at the moment.

"Didn't you know? I guess I just assumed." Kisa sighed, but shrugged.

"What do you mean?" Honey asked.

"Well, my sister Sophie, is in the middle school. She has two guy friends, and their last names are Haninozuka, and Morinozuka. I guess I just assumed that they were related to you. Sorry."

"Wait, do you mean Satoshi? He's Takashi's brother. And Yasuchika is my brother." Honey chirped at them.

"Oh, I guess I was right then." Kisa smiled at the pair. "See, Sophie's birthday is tomorrow. Both of your brothers are friends with Sophie, and have been invited to her birthday party. Which reminds me, mama wants you guys to come too. She likes keeping track of our friends." Kisa explained, heading towards the door.

"So, we get to come too? Thats so exciting!" Honey cried, bouncing in excitement.

"Yup. We need to go to a mall. These two idiots haven't bought her present yet." Kisa smiled at everyone, and led them all to the front of the school.

"We will take our limo. The driver knows where all the malls are." The twins informed them, and they all piled into the Hitachi limo.

"Which mall?" The driver called.

"We don't care!" The Twins called back, just as Tamaki called "A commoners one!"

"It doesn't matter. We have the money." Kisa shrugged.

"We do?" Emily asked, mildly confused.

"Yup. Daemon gave me a credit card, and told me to buy whatever I want. Part of the reason I have it is so that I can buy presents for the family members from all three brothers." Kisa replied, staring out of the window, as if it was no big deal. Which, fi you thought about it, it wasn't.

"Really? Why don't I get one!" Emily pouted, glaring at her sister.

"Because I'm more responsible then you, and he thinks I need to be protected for some strange reason. Since he can't be around all the time, this is his way of taking care of me." Kisa said, as if stating a fact, and not noticing the looks of confusion and concern on the hosts' faces.

"We are here! Lets go, I need to find something." Haruhi called, stumbling out of the limo, and running to the first store she saw. The twins followed her, with Tamaki on their heels, all three hollering for her to catch up. Emily sighed, then started forward as well. She grabbed Kyouya's hand, and dragged him along with her.

"So what did you get Sophie?" Emily called over her shoulder. Kisa sighed, then pulled Takashi along as well, with Honey on his shoulders.

"Why do you want to know?" Kisa asked innocently.

"Well, I don't want to give her the same thing." Emily replied, just as innocently.

"Ah, but that shouldn't be a problem. I bought her present months ago, before we left. So, you shouldn't have any issues. You'll just have to wait for the party to find out what I got her. Though I'm pretty sure you won't be able to top it." Kisa grinned evilly at her sister, then made shooing motions. "Go, take Kyouya with you, and find her something. If you don't have enough money on you, phone me, and I'll come and buy it for you."

"Fine, see you later." And, before Kyouya could protest, Emily dragged him into the nearest store.

"Those two sure make a cute couple." Kisa smiled, watching them go. "Don't you think so?"

"Yeah, they look so cute!" Honey beamed. "So, where do you want to go?"

"I don't really care, lets just look around." Kisa shrugged, then led the pair into the mall.

"Hey, Kyouya, I have no idea of what to get my sister!" Emily sighed.

"How am I supposed to know? She's your sister, not mine." Kyouya grumbled, not sure yet if her was glad, or upset that Emily was holding his hand.

"But you are coming to the party too. You have to get her a present too." Emily informed him. "Don't look at me like that, it's true!"

"Well, if I have to get her a present, then you should at least tell me what to buy her. How am I supposed to buy a present for a girl I don't even know?" Kyouya sighed.

"Lets go in here." Emily pulled Kyouya into a bookstore, squeezing his hand slightly, unconsciously.

"So, your sister likes books?" Kyouya asked.

"Sometimes. It depends. She's really starting to get into those Harry Potter books. So, I think I might buy her the series. Hey, you could get her the Percy Jackson books! That was easy." Emily grinned at him, and let go of his hand to grab one of each box set.

"Do you have enough?" Kyouya asked, grabbing the books she handed to him, suddenly sad about losing her hand.

"I have no idea. I should." Emily shrugged, then led them to the register. As it happens, Kyouya had to lend her the last bit for the book set, but for some reason, he didn't mind. 'I must be feeling sick' He groused to himself, then bought the other books set.

"Lets go to the food court, I'm hungry." Emily told him, and grabbed his hand to drag him there when Kyouya didn't move fast enough.

"Won't the others be looking for us?" Kyouya asked, stumbling to catch up.

"Nope. Kisa and Haruhi will come to the food court when they are done. It's what we have always done." Emily told him.

With Haruhi

"So, what are you going to get her?" Tamaki asked excitedly.

"Some art stuff. Sophie has always been good at drawing. But her parents only get her good quality art supplies for her birthday or Christmas, so she normally has to make do with mediocre supplies." Haruhi told them, as she browsed the art supply shop.

"Why? Are her parents poor? Poor Sophie!" Tamaki cried dramatically.

"No, you idiot, obasan Akimi just doesn't think it wise to spoil her children on a regular basis." Haruhi informed him, and then proceeded to roll her eyes when Tamaki hid in a corner.

"What" "About" "This?" Hikaru flashed a quality sketch pad, and Kaoru a pack of pencil crayons in front of Haruhi's nose.

"Sure, why don't you guys get her those. I already know what I'm getting her."

"You mean we get to bring real commoner presents to our first commoner party?" Tamaki asked, smiling widely again.

"The Smiths aren't exactly commoners, but yeah. Here, why don't you give her this?" Haruhi pushed another sketch pad, and a package of good drawing pencils into Tamaki's hands.

"Then what are you getting her?" Tamaki asked, confused.

"This." Haruhi grabbed a small piece of canvas, and a package of water colours. "Sophie loves painting with water colours."

"Why can't we give her those?" The twins whined.

"Because I said so. Now, hurry up and pay. The sooner we get to the food court, the better. Too much time with you three gives me a headache."

With Kisa

"Hey, this looks pretty." Kisa commented, grabbing a dress. She held it in front of herself, and turned to look at a mirror.

"It sure does, Ki-chan! Right Takashi?" Honey praised, bouncing. "You should try it on."

"Hmm. Sure. I need something to wear tomorrow anyways." Kisa slipped into a changing room, and reappeared a minute later, now wearing the dress. It was dark purple, with pale pink flowers.

"Nope, I don't like it. What about this?" Kisa asked, more to herself then anything else. Before Takashi and Honey could comment, Kisa was back in the change room. She came out a minute later, wearing silver jeans, and a midnight blue short, cap sleeve shirt.

"Wow! That looks super good Ki-chan!" Honey cried.

"Ah." Takashi confirmed, smiling slightly.

"Then it's settled. My party clothes for tomorrow!" Kisa grinned, then quickly changed back, and bought her new outfit. "Come on, we should go now. I need to get the house ready for the party tomorrow.

"Perfect." Kisa announced, surveying the family room and kitchen. While the living room was attached to the kitchen by a door, and opened to the front door, the family room and kitchen were attached. Big, comfy couches, and a large television made up the family room. Streamers covered the walls, a pile of presents sat beside the couch, and a beautiful cake was in the fridge.

"Hey, look who decided to show up." Emily announced, leading the host club, plus Satoshi and Yasuchika.

"Welcome. Your gifts can go over there." Kisa told them, and pointed to the pile.

"Where are Sophie and your mother?" Tamaki asked, looking around the room with awe on his face.

"Its a tradition in our family to spend the morning out with mama, and then have the party in the afternoon." Emily explained, then she flopped on the couch, and turned the tv on.

"Whats for breakfast?" A groggy voice asked, making everyone turned. A tall, blond haired guy appeared, wearing only boxers. WHACK. Everyone's mouths hung open, with exception of Emily and Haruhi, as Kisa hit the guy on the back of his head.

"Haruhi, dearest, was that Kisa or Emily?" He asked, squinting.

"Kisa." Haruhi replied. She turned her back, trying not to laugh at the stunned faces of the guys around her, and put a kettle on.

"Damn. I can't hit back." The guy groused.

"Yes, you can." Kisa snapped, pouting.

"Not if I want to stay alive. Nico would kill me, and Daemon would help." The guy sighed, then yawned.

"Well, regardless, go and shower before your offensive stench offends our guests." Kisa told him sweetly.

"Meanie! Wait, guests?" The guy stopped, then turned and looked at the hosts. "Oh, damn. Alright, I'll be right back."

"Kisa. Who was that?" Tamaki asked faintly.

"Chikko Smith. Middle son to Jackson and Akimi Smith, and medical student." Kyouya announced.

"And a royal pain in the ass." Emily grumbled.

"That too." Kisa agreed.

"We are back!" Akimi called, and entered her kitchen, holding the hand of a very excited girl. Soon, Akimi was introduced to all of the hosts, as well as Satoshi and Yasuchika. When Chikko reappeared, he was introduced as well. Then, before Sophie could rip into her presents, Chikko bullied them all into the family room, and put in Sophie's favorite movie, The Lion King. After that, the group watched The Lion King 1 1/2, and then The Lion King 2, while they ate their supper.

"Alright, I want my cake!" Sophie cried, jumping up, excited.

"But, I want to see my baby sister! And I can't do that if she's eating cake." A voice called, everyone's head swiveled to see who it was. Leaning against the wall was a tall guy with the same hair and facial features as Chikko, but with shinning green eyes instead of gray.

"DAEMON!" Sophie, Kisa and Emily all shouted, and all three girls charged at their older brother. Vaguely, the twins were aware of Kyouya informing their group about Daemon, before they pulled their brother to the table.

"Cake time!" Akimi called, and pulled out the cake. After a hurried "Happy Birthday to you" The group dug in. Then...

"Alright, Satoshi and Yasuchika have to go home, but the rest of you can stay over for a sleepover. I've already cleared it with parents." Akimi announced, getting a cheer from her daughters, Hikaru, Kaoru, Honey and Tamaki. Soon, Satoshi and Yasuchika were ushered out the door, but not before Sophie had given each of them a hug, and the rest went back to the couches.

"So, I think that we should watch The Mummy." Emily told them, turning the movie on.

"Hey, mama. Won't we need more stuff?" Kisa asked her mother quietly in the kitchen, five minutes into the movie.

"Oh, yes I guess we will. Hmm, I guess I could go." Akimi said thoughtfully.

"Or I could. I don't like this movie. Maybe, Takashi could come with?" Kisa asked, staring at her mother.

"Sure. Don't be too long." Akimi kissed her daughter, then had to suppress a startled scream, for when she had turned around Takashi was standing there. Neither Kisa nor Takashi said anything until they were outside.

"Sorry for putting you on the spot like that, but I have to tell someone. See, I've had an interesting past, but Emily says I have to tell someone. Or at least let her tell the others. So, I'm going to tell you some of it, okay?" Kisa told him, looking away.

"Alright." Takashi said, and took her hand. When she looked up at him, surprised, he gave it a gentle squeeze, to let her know that he would be there or her.

A/N: Muwahahaha! So, Takashi knows, but you don't *Evil smile* Next chapter, who wakes up the Shadow King? Oh, and I know Satoshi and Yasuchika didn't really have any role but I'm thinking of doing a bit with those two and Sophie, like maybe half of a chapter. We shall see though.

So I don't know if anyone noticed, but I fixed the few problems I saw in the first chapter, and I named all of the chapters :) I hope everyone enjoyed the name of the second chapter.

Oh, and The Midnight Shadow Star, I wasn't aware that I was a vampire, but maybe that explains why all my friends disappear, and I hate the sun XD
