Chapter 7

The Date

Beep. Beep. Beep. Kisa sighed, then growled and waved her hand for her alarm clock. Then, feeling the pain shooting through her body, Kisa opened her eyes. She was in the hospital, and the beeping was her heart rate monitor. Kyouya and Emily were sitting side by side, Emily's head on Kyouya's shoulder, and his head on top of hers. Daemon was sitting in a chair beside the pair, his head back, sleeping. Haruhi was curled up in her chair, and she was using Daemon's leg as a pillow. On the other side of her bed, Takashi was leaning so far forward, that he was sleeping with his head in his arms, which were crossed on her bed.

"Takashi?" Kisa whispered, lightly nudging his arms with her foot.

"Kisa!" Takashi jerked awake. "Thank god you are alright. The doctor said there had been some complications."

"Wow, I think that's the most I have ever heard you say at once." Haruhi commented quietly, uncurling herself. "Nice to see you awake cousin."

"Thanks. Where is Mama?" Kisa asked.

"With the doctors. One of which who happens to be Kyouya's older brother." Haruhi told her. She stood, and quietly walked to the door, to look for Akimi.

"Oh. How long have I been out?" Kisa asked again, and she yawned widely.

"Three days." Takashi replied, and in his voice Kisa heard the worry.

"Sorry." Kisa whispered.

"Not your fault." Takashi shrugged, then grabbed the blanket that was on the chair beside him. He lightly draped it over Kisa's shoulders. When she raised her eyebrow at him, he merely shrugged. "You're shivering."

"Thanks." Kisa smiled, and pulled it tighter around her shoulders.

"Kisa! Oh thank god! And baby, I'm so sorry." Akimi rushed into the room startling the others awake. She wrapped her arms around her daughter, and kissed her forehead.

"Why are you sorry?" Kisa asked, confused.

"Kisa. I came as soon as I heard." A rich, deep voice that commanded attention, spoke from the doorway.

"Father." Kisa and Emily gasped at the same time, staring at the man. Instantly Kyouya and Takashi stiffened.

"Emily, you look... well. Daemon? I thought you were supposed to be on tour." Jackson sneered slightly at his son.

"I'm not feeling well." Kisa suddenly mumbled, leaning back into her bed. Before Takashi could move away from her, she slipped her hand into his, and squeezed.

"Alright, everybody out. Kyouya, get your brother in here now. Jackson, Haruhi, Emily, Daemon. Hallway, now." Akimi ordered, pointing to the hallway with a look that said 'don't mess with me'.

"Mama, I'm fine." Kisa whispered, as soon as everyone had left. "I just didn't want Jackson in here." Kisa sighed.

"Thank you, baby, but you really need to be checked over. Alright?" Akimi kissed her daughter's forehead, then slumped into the seat beside her daughter.

"So, Kyouya. I have a request." Kisa informed the boy. "That means, everyone else out." The Host Club boys all sighed and grumbled, but they left like she requested. Kisa had been awake for less then a day when they had all shown up for a visit. Now, four days later, they were finally allowed to visit her at the same time. Once the boys had all left, along with her sister and cousin, Kisa turned to him.

"You should take Emily out on a date. She's really worried about me, and she needs to let loose and have some fun. Enjoy herself. Plus, it's obvious that you guys like each other." Kisa told him.

"What makes you think that?" Kyouya asked, stunned.

"I see the way you look t my sister. And the way she looks at you, when she thinks no one is looking. Besides, don't you want to go on a date with my sister?" Kisa grinned at him, well aware that the boy had started blushing.

"Alright. I will take her out tomorrow." Kyouya sighed.

"So, what do you want to do?" Emily asked, flushing slightly.

"I was thinking we could go shopping." Kyouya smiled slightly at her, and gently grabbed her hand. "Any where you want to go specifically?"

"Well, I do need more nail polish." Emily started, then pulled him in the direction of her favorite salon. "Then, maybe we could go to a movie?"

"Sounds good. I've always been curious, how do you pick out your nail polish." Kyouya asked, following her into the salon.

"Umm, don't laugh, okay?" Emily blushed, and began to sort through the nail polish.

"I won't laugh." Kyouya vowed.

"Well, the name. I like ones with interesting names. Like this one. It's called the Significant Other color. I already have it. Hey! You said you wouldn't laugh." Emily glared at the chuckling Kyouya, before turning back to the colors.

"Seriously?" Kyouya gasped, laughing harder when he saw the expression on Emily's face.

"Pft. Whatever, I knew you wouldn't understand. Ohh. This one looks wonderful." Emily breathed, tilting the bottle of polish. It was iridescent green, with flecks of gray.

"It amazes me how quickly your attention jumps." Kyouya remarked dryly. He plucked the bottle from her hand, then strode to the counter to pay for it.

"Hey! I can pay for it. And, if my attention didn't jump, you'd have a bruise on your arm." Emily sniffed, then glared at him.

"From what? Hitting? Are you threatening me?" Kyouya grinned, and placed the polish in Emily's pocket.

"Not threatening. More of a promise." Emily pondered, slipping her hand into Kyouya's elbow, and leaned against him.

"Sounded like a threat to me. Alright, lets go see a movie. How does What's Your Number sound?" Kyouya asked, leading her towards the theater.

"Really? A chick flick Kyouya? I'm surprised." Emily teased.

"No, but Kisa has been hinting that she wanted to see it, so I figured you would too." Kyouya explained.

"Just because she wants to see it, doesn't mean I do." Emily grumbled.

"So you don't want to see it?" Kyouya asked, mildly amused, as they entered the theater.

"I didn't say that! You just shouldn't assume that because one twin likes something, that another will." Emily chastised. Before Kyouya could comment, Emily bought their tickets.

"I could have paid for those, you know." Kyouya grumbled.

"Well, now you can buy me popcorn and I won't feel bad for you paying for everything." Emily grinned at him, and placed a quick peck on his cheek. Both flushed, and looked away.

"So, what kind of pop do you want?" Kyouya mumbled, stumbling over the words slightly.

"Um, sprite will be fine. Thanks Kyouya." Emily whispered.

"Alright. A sprite, a coke and a large popcorn." Kyouya commanded. He glared at the girl when she didn't move right away, because she was too busy staring at him.

"You are unbelievable!" Emily teased, once they were in the theater.

"So, why did you send them on a date?" Tamaki asked Kisa.

"Because Emily needs a distraction, and those two needed a nudge. Besides, it will be nice to see my sister actually date a decent guy." Kisa replied, snuggling herself into her bed.

"Everyone needs a nudge now and then." Hikaru and Kaoru grinned at Kisa, then pointedly looked at Takashi.

"Leave me alone. I'm injured, remember?" Kisa grumbled, and she weakly chucked a pillow at them, which they easily dodged.

"If you are going to harass her, leave." Takashi snapped, glaring at the twins.

"Thanks. Now, I'm going to have a nap." Kisa grumbled, and she settled herself. Sleeping as the only way for her to escape, and think. Think about what it meant that Takashi was there when she woke up. That he had been by her bed side most of the time, and was always coming up with ways to entertain her. Like randomly appearing with a large stuffed bear. Kisa smiled softly to herself, and fell asleep with said smile.

A/N: So, it's mildly lame, and the end is crappy, but I'm working on it! Alright, at least it's an update
