Now that Tamaki and I had a shared interest- I was able to slightly get along with him better. The only real problem and irritating thing that he had- was calling himself 'daddy' all the time; my real father was a complete idiot- so, with the exception of Ranka, I viewed all fathers as idiots. Hideo-kun was more of a brother in a way; and so, I was alright.

"Kaori-kun!" I looked up from my seat and watched- along with Hikaru, Kaoru, and Haruhi- as Tamaki came into class 1A.

"Um- boss," Kaoru said.

"Wrong class- you're in 2A- this is 1A," Hikaru continued.

"I know- but I needed to speak with Kaori-kun," Tamaki said, and sat down in the seat in front of me.

"What is it sempai?" I asked, truly curious.

"That song you gave me yesterday- would you be up to playing it after school today as part of Host activities?" Tamaki asked me.

"Have you seriously already mastered it?" I asked, slightly shocked.

"Yeah!" Tamaki exclaimed, smiling brightly.

"Alright- for our customers- we will play our first song together," I nodded, and he bounced with joy.

"Yay!" With that, he bounded from the classroom- and I shook my head, smiling. He always seemed to surprise me- even when I thought he couldn't- he found a way to.

"So- you came up with one?" Hikaru asked.

"Yep."

"That's what you were working on throughout the weekend," Haruhi said, smiling- and I nodded. With no words- it had been a little harder to put together- but in the end, I had managed.

"Good afternoon- lovely princesses," Tamaki smiled, as he stood in front of the piano- all the ladies had gathered around, having heard that they would get a special treat- Tamaki continued," Today- Kaori-kun and I will play a song for you all- together!" Instantly, the girls' eyes all sparkled- anticipating this. Renge was also in the crowd- waiting for something to put in her magazine she had for the Host Club. Tamaki sat down beside me, we nodded to each other- I looked once at the composition- and then, we started.

When we finished, the room burst into applause. All the girls had tears in their eyes, stars in their eyes, and hearts above their heads.

I heard a knock at the apartment door and opened it.

"Tamaki sempai?"

"Come on!" he exclaimed, and quickly disappeared. I turned to Haruhi- and saw she had a bag with her.

"You might want to bring some change of cloths- and let Hikari-chan and Hideo-kun know you wont be back until Sunday evening," Haruhi informed me.

"Ooo-kay," I said slowly- and done as she said. Minutes later, I reemerged and together with Haruhi, we walked down to the limo- which was attracting a lot of attention. I sighed- but should have known they wouldn't have tried to fit in. We got into the limo- and I sat in the only open seat- only because Haruhi had been snatched and was sitting in between Hikaru and Tamaki. Looking at Kyoya next to me- I wondered what he had up his sleeves.

"I don't have anything planned- I was invited just as you were," he said, and I gulped, turning my attention to the Hunny- who was on my other side. Time ticked by- and I began wondering where we were going- and I was about to ask- but then the limo came to a halt. The door opened, and we all began piling out. When my feet touched the ground, and I saw the house in front of us- I stared at it with an open mouth. Could you even call this place a house? It was more like a castle in my opinion.

"Kaori-san!" I looked up at the sound of my name- and to my surprise, I saw Kirimi running happily towards me.

"Kirimi-chan," I smiled," What are you…"

"This is Nekozawa's house," Haruhi exclaimed, and I brightened.

"Really?"

"Yeah- he invited all of us- and Tamaki only came because he wants to 'protect' Haru-chan from Nekozawa-kun," Hunny informed me.

"Ah- okay," I smiled, and followed Kirimi without any hesitation. The others followed behind me- and we were soon inside.

"Good morning everyone." My head searched around in the huge open walk in space- and soon I saw Nekozawa coming towards us- he still had that black cloak on.

"Morning Nekozawa sempai," I smiled, and then asked," Is it only the Host Club here- or is there anyone else from school coming?"

"Just the Host Club," Nekozawa answered.

"So- it would be safe to let my hair down?"

"Yes."

"Alright- that's the only question I had," I said," Thank you for inviting us here sempai."

"It was an honor," Nekozawa replied, and then showed us to our rooms. After that, as we were walking down the stairs, I wondered something.

"What exactly are we going to do while we're here?"

"I have a private beach in back- you are welcomed there," Nekozawa informed.

"Anyone else there?" I heard Kyoya ask.

"No- with that last incident- I made sure that it was closed while you all stay here." Last incident? I shrugged, and waved to Nekozawa as I followed the rest of the Host Club to the beach. I got a work out just walking down the steps to get to the beach- but it was worth it in my opinion.

We sat at the table that night, eating crab- which there seemed to be a huge amount of- and I watched as the silence between everyone seemed to drag on forever. Finally- as full as I could get- I stood up.

"I think I'm going to go up to my room- I'll see you all in the morning," I said, and walked away. When I reached my room, I closed the door behind me; then I took off the wig, and unpinned my hair. It fell down from the top of my head, and swayed a little at my waist. This is the best life ever- I was glad to have met everyone in the club- at the school. As I was about to change into my pajama's, a flash of light lit the room- making me freeze. Then, a sudden loud bang sounded, and I jumped- stifling a scream. Quickly, I ran to the shift-robe that was used as a closet- and sat in it, closing the doors. It was the only thing I could think of to do- I didn't want anyone to know that I feared storms- they would think of me as an idiot. Bunching my knees up to my chest, I wrapped my arms around my legs, and rested my head on my knees- begging the storm to end. I heard a knock at the door- but kept quiet. The soft sound of the door clicking open, and some footsteps- and then nothing.

"Kaori-kun?" I gulped softly- as I heard Kyoya's voice. He was the last person I wanted to find me like this. I tried to keep as silent as possible- but sadly, another clap of thunder caught me off guard, and I jumped, rattling the closet. More footsteps, and soon I heard someone trying to open the doors to the closet.

"Kaori-kun- why are you in the closet?" Kyoya asked, and he stopped trying to open the door.

"I'm fine- I always manage to find a way through this somehow- most of the time by myself."

"By yourself…" I heard Kyoya say softly, and then he understood," You don't need to be alone this time." A loud rumble followed by more bangs sounded through the outside air- making me jump and I flew out of the closet and practically crashed into Kyoya- and held him tightly. His arms unsurely wrapped around me, and he held me close- trying to calm me. I felt him slightly pick me up and carry me to the bed- and lay me down. I clung to him, so he had no choice but to lie with me. I felt something softly stroking my hair- and I figured out it was Kyoya smoothing out my hair.

Cannot say
What our hearts must know
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms

I found my eyes starting to droop, and soon I found myself falling asleep in Kyoya's arms.

The next morning when I woke up- I was alone. Of course, he had left. I had to kid myself if I had thought he would stay all night. A part of me wish he had- but I knew he wouldn't have. I got changed, and headed downstairs. I saw Tamaki, Hikaru, Kaoru, and Haruhi at the table.

"Where are the others?" I asked, sitting at the same spot I had last night.

"Kyoya's still sleeping, and Mori sempai is waiting for Hunny sempai to wake up," Tamaki informed.

"And why don't we just wake them up?" Tamaki, Hikaru and Kaoru looked at me like I was insane.

"You do that- and you see what happens!" Hikaru exclaimed.

"Both Kyoya sempai and Hunny sempai have low blood sugar and AB negative blood," Haruhi told me. That's when I understood- they were cranky if you woke them up to early.

"See- all you had to do is tell me what Haruhi did," I said, and began thinking," If someone with Kyoya's record was real- why did he seem so nice and caring last night?"

"Good morning Hunny sempai," Haruhi smiled, and I looked to my left. Sure enough, Hunny was walking into the dining room- rubbing his sleepy eyes- followed by Mori.

"'morning Haru-chan," Hunny replied sleepily. We waited in silence for a little while, until Kyoya finally came down stairs. You would have never guessed he just got up. I avoided his gaze as he sat down next to Tamaki; we eat breakfast- which consisted of some of the most expensive stuff I could imagine. By the look on my face- Tamaki instantly had a new idea.

"Tomorrow- you will have more expensive foods!" he declared out of nowhere, making everyone look at him- and then they all turned to me, and I kind of slid down in my seat. Other then that- breakfast was pretty uneventful. When it came time to leave- I grabbed a hold of Haruhi and made sure she entered the limo right after me, and sat her down next to me. Kyoya came into the limo and sat directly across from me- and I inwardly slumped. I had been hoping I wouldn't have to face him- but it looked like at some point I would have to.
