Wow. I feel hyper but I'm not. So here's the next chappy guys. :3

Kori: Zari own nothing but Cole, David, Reese, Kari, my father and I. Everything else is owned by the great Biscori Hatori.


"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit," I let out the stream of cuss words in a small hiss of breath. Why, why, why, why did today have to be a horrible day? It started out fine! Well, as close to fine as I could get what with my luck. Just when I thought that my day was terrible, David just had to fucking text me. In the, what, two hours I had (the airport was a long ways away from the school), I had to find Cole, cover up the evidence of my fight and somehow avoid all contact with the Host club. Plan: Well shit I'm screwed is into action!

"Out of all the people in the universe, I had to have the worst luck," I muttered to myself as I tried to find the nurse's office quickly so I didn't have to deal with the idle stares the other students would give me. Finally getting directions from a concerned and elderly looking teacher, I sprinted towards the infirmary and sat down waiting for the nurse to walk in. After a couple of minutes, she popped her head in and gave me a small, polite smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry Dear, but I'll be out for a couple minutes. I got a call just a moment ago from the office that a girl has fainted in the art room. I'll be back in about fifteen. Just help yourself to whatever you need. " She said and before I could anything the nurse was gone. I sighed and got up from my seat and looked through the cabinets for disinfectant, bandages, and a plastic baggy to fill with ice for my bruises. As I was grabbing the things I needed, I heard a student come in through the door.

"The nurse left and she said to just - You again?" I cried out exasperatedly as I turned and found the giant (Morinozuka was his name, right?) standing there in the hallway holding his side.

"You," he said and I heard the disbelief in his voice and I felt cold fear rush through my veins. Again with the bad luck.

"Yes me," I replied as I turned my back to him. "The nurse left because some girl in the art room fainted. She told me that I could do whatever I needed to do. I suppose the same applies to you as well."

"Ah," he said and I heard his shoes tap across the floor towards the cabinet next to one I was investigating and he opened it.

"Cotton balls, calamine, saline and boxes of Q-tips," I stated a-matter-of-factly as he opened the small door. I could feel his stare at the side of my head.

"What?" Jerking my head in the direction of the cabinet, I shrugged. "Cotton balls, calamine, saline and boxes of Q-tips. That's what's inside that one cabinet. You need a bag for ice right? There in the cabinet to the left of the one you're looking at right now." I went back to ignoring him as I moved onto the next, and last, cabinet, to look for disinfectant.

"Why are you being nice to me?" I dropped the package of bandages I was holding and they landed with a thump and a schk onto the counter.

"What?" I questioned him and he shrugged, his face not giving anything away.

"You are being nice to me; why?" I just looked at him oddly then shrugged.

"I define this area as neutral territory. If you don't get mad at me, I won't get mad at you. Besides, you're hurt, right?" He shrugged and then winced as he reached up into the cabinet that I had told him had the bags. I almost laughed. "I was right."

"Ah." Oh, that one sounded like he was irritated!

"The ice is in the refrigerator in the corner," I said as I tried reaching the top shelf for the antibacterial stuff. The shelf was at least two feet above my head and one foot above my hand even with it extended while I jumped up an down. All of a sudden, a shadow covered me and a tanned arm reached over my head and grabbed the bottle I was reaching for. Turning around, I was met by a very solid chest.

"Oof." My head almost bounced backwards into the cabinet but the hand that was free pressed my head into his chest, my forehead pressed into his chest. The owner of the hands backed away, letting go of my head and I looked up to see Morinozuka holding the bottle of antiseptic in his hand. Turning his head to the side a bit, he held out his hand and I took the bottle from him and hurried off to the adjoining bathroom, praying that he hadn't seen my blushing face.


After I applied the antiseptic to my face and the other areas that had blood on them, I walked out of the bathroom and was presented with the interesting sight of Morinozuka sitting and wincing as he tried to contort his body without hurting himself so he could put the ice bag on his bruised side. I covered my mouth so I wouldn't laugh but a small giggle made its way past my lips and hand. Morinozuka looked up and his cheeks were tinted a slight pink. I bit my lip. Did I make him angry?

"Erm...do you want any...help?" He looked up me in surprise. He seemed very suspicious and he didn't bother to hold out his hand. Growling under my breath, I reached out and snatched the ice bag out of his hand and pressed it to his bruise while sitting down next to him. "Geez, you are stubborn! I am going to help you whether you want it or not." He looked at me in surprise.

"Why?" I figured that he was just a man of little words so to translate: "Why did you help me so willingly?"

"You looked like you needed help. Why shouldn't I help you?" I questioned and he looked surprised so I quickly added, "And you looked ridiculous trying to put the ice bag on you bruise so I just had to end the humility." He scowled at me and I shoved the ice bag at his bruise harder.

"Ow," he winced and I smiled sweetly.

"Sorry."

"No you're not."

"Are you calling me a liar?"

"Do you tell lies?"

"No."

"Example."

"...smart boy."

"I know."

"Humble, too."

"One of my best qualities."

"I suppose your stunning good looks are one of your excellent points as well."

"Yes."

"Sarcasm at its best."

"Why aren't you a comedian?"

"You are really annoying."

"As are you."

"Can't you think of something longer than three words to say?"

"Can't you think of anything more intelligent to say?"

"I thought this was neutral territory?"

"It is."

"You are so da-"

"Well it looks like you two were here for a while!" We both turned our head towards the door to see the nurse walk in.

"What do you mean?" I asked and she smiled.

"The ice in the bag has melted." I looked down and realized she was correct: while I was talking to Sir Asshat, the ice in the bag had melted to a watery puddle in a bag.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," I said, still not moving my hand from the watery bag. "We didn't-"

"Now don't apologize, deary. I'm sorry for interrupting this," she cut me off and it took my brain about five seconds to register what she meant. Blushing as red as a tomato, I stood up from where I was sitting and I took the bag of water and dumped it on Morinozuka's head. In a swift motion, I grabbed my bag, a pass that the nurse was holding out for me and I ran out of the office.

When I was a good ways away, a sudden though crossed my frazzled mind.

Who had hit Morinozuka?


A Few Minutes Ago With The Hosts

"So why can't I leave, again?" Cole asked for the umpteenth time in a thirty minute span though Tamaki wasn't complaining; he liked the attention.

"You cannot leave because we have nominated you as a potential for the Host Club! Only the best and most handsome boys get into this club!" Tamaki declared while striking a dramatic pose. Cole quirked an eyebrow at him.

"And what do you do? Wait - let me guess: you all entertain young ladies here after school," Cole snorted and an awkward silence filled the room. "You've got to be fucking kidding me!"

"Mommy, our son is using dirty words!" Tamaki cried out to Kyoya as his raven haired friend simply rolled his eyes and continued typing on his laptop.

"So am I not allowed out of this room or something...?" Cole asked and the twins shook their heads.

"You're our captive!" Hikaru and Kaoru said at the same time and Cole sighed.

"Can I at least have my backpack?" Cole inquired and the twins shrugged.

"I suppose so."

"Why not?"

Cole sighed with relief as the twins walked over the the backpack that Tamaki had brought from his classroom. But when they tried to pick the pack up, they couldn't get it two centimeters off of the ground.

"What is in this bag?" They both huffed and Cole walked over and took the bag from their grasps with one arm.

"I'm keeping something for Kori in it," Cole answered as he started walking back to the couch with it. Completely unaware of the senior that was right behind him standing next to the couch across from the one Cole was sitting at, Cole flung the bag around his body to his other shoulder. And in the midst of the process, had managed to hit Mori in the side. After several minutes of fussing and Hunny almost breaking into tears, Mori convinced them he was alright and made his way to the infirmary.


Back to Kori

"Now if I were a Host Club king idiot, where would I keep a hostage?" I asked myself as I walked through the unfamiliar halls trying not to get caught by teachers for skipping class. I honestly think that finding my best friend was more important than listening to a lecture about some war during some time in some country. Then I snapped my fingers. I knew exactly what would help me think. Stopping by the side of the hallway, I unzipped my backpack and foraged around in it until giving up my search for my blocks. Yup, you heard me right: block. Wooden building blocks to be exact. They were each completely clear of any logo and weren't all that special. I had written on most of them and they looked almost like manufactured Jenga blocks. Ever since I was kid, I always got the blocks out to help me think and piece together any trifling situation.

"Where are my blocks?" I asked no one in particular as I sunk down against a salmon colored wall. It made me feel sad when I didn't have my blocks. They were the last thing that Mom gave me before she...left. As if on cue, Cole's ringtone echoed through the halls.

That's life, that's what people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May.
But I know I'm gonna change their tune,
When I'm right back on top in June.

That's life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin' on dreams
But I just can't let it get me down,
Cause this big old world keeps spinnin' around.

I fished my phone out of my pocket and clicked the answer button.

"Where are you?"

"If I told you, you would flip shit and kill someone," Cole responded and I huffed.

"Cole, you are missing and I don't have my blocks. I am kinda-sorta panicking right now!" There was a shuffling and Cole briefly yelling.

"Don't worry your pretty little head, Kiki; I've got your blocks but I seriously can't tell you where I am unless you want to pop an artery."

"Would you tell me if I told you some kinda good news, kinda bad news?" I questioned and I imagined him thinking about it, putting his thumb and pointer finger on his chin.

"Okay. Spill, girl." I smiled at his eagerness.

"Guess who's coming within the next couple of hours?"

"Your dad?'

"Nope. Somebody else."

"Davey!"

"Precisely. And do you know what he is going to do when he finds out I couldn't find you for several hours in a school I've never been to after you two haven't seen each other in weeks?"

"...shit."

"No really?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Excuse me? What am I going to do? The better question is what the hell are you going to tell him when he asks you about not talking to him for more than a week? He thought you were kidnapped and shit!"

"...he was worried?" I growled into the mic of the phone and stood up from my sitting position on the wall.

"Yeah he was! I'm about to hang up on you and just to let the fucking assholes who took you know that I will tear this place apart, burn it to the fucking ground until I find you!" I clicked the "END" button and trudged down the hall.


Thirty Minutes Later

I was completely and utterly fucking lost.

Almost screaming in frustration, I continued walking down the unfamiliar hallway. Every single fucking hallway was the same. Same huge pink doors, same pink wallpaper walls, same pink tiling. Hell, I think some of the hallways had the same hung paintings. None of this helped my mission for finding Cole.

None of it.

I was frustrated and grumpy as I continued wandering down the halls. I took a look at the time on my phone and saw that I had about an hour and thirty minutes before the reincarnation of Satan arrived. (Read: David) Finally arriving at a seemingly abandoned room, I sighed and decided to weigh my options.

Option Number One: He could be in here.

Option Number Two: This room could simply be abandoned.

Option Number Three: The room contained the wardrobe that led to Narnia.

Seeing as Options Two and Three were both nonsensical and negative, I decided to try my luck with Option Number One. Taking in a deep breath, I put my hand on the brass handle and turned it.

Big mistake.

I was bombarded for a total of ten seconds with an army of rose petals. I almost screamed but reminded myself that the rose petals would probably enter my mouth. After the stupid petals stopped attacking me, I got a good look at the insane people who had set it up. I saw several young men and three of whom I recognized. Morinozuka, that little kid-thing, and Cole.

"So this is where you've been you asshole!" I screeched as I started chasing Cole around the room. "You fucking knew that I was freaking out. You fucking knew. You also knew that the devil's incarnate is on his fucking way but did you say anything to be helpful? Did you drop fucking hints? Fucking no. You made me worry! I was freaking out! I outta kill you!"

"Calm down Kori!" Cole tried to yell at me as he ducked beneath a piano and popped up on the other side.

"I will no calm down! I was worried! I don't like worrying!"

"I am alive now fucking calm down before you burst an artery!"

"I hope you die of an aneurysm (A/N Bunny, if you're reading this...XD. I love you!)!" I shouted at him as I rounded around the piano. Before I could get anywhere near him, someone lifted me into the air. I felt strong arm around my middle and I started spazzing out.

"Now will you calm down?" Cole asked calmly and I narrowed my eyes at him but nodded. I felt the person who was holding me put me down and I turned around to see that Morinozuka was the one who picked me up. I swiftly made my way over to Cole and almost lifted him off the ground when I held him by his collar.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS?!" I shrieked in his face and Cole flinched at my volume and close proximity.

"No. Would you care to enlighten me?" Cole said sarcastically and was about to make another remark until he saw the panic in my eyes. "Shit. I'm sorry Kori. I was just...distracted." I set him down on the ground but I wouldn't let go of his collar. Instead, I tightened my grip until my knuckles turned start white.

"I was..." My throat felt a bit tight and my ego felt a bit big when I tried to admit that I was...scared. Yes, I was fucking scared. Ha ha. There is a reason, of course. I've been scared to death since I was little of being alone. Sometimes it would get so bad that I wouldn't even leave my room without knowing David, Dad or Cole were outside my door. My Dad thought that maybe it was just a faze I was going through.

"Oh shit. Seriously, I'm sorry Koko," Cole cooed as he hugged me. I almost kicked his leg for calling me "Koko" but was stopped when a loud and flamboyant voice broke us out of our hug.

"What a beautiful sight!" Cole held me out at arms' length and glared to the side to glare at the voice. I turned my head to the side as well and saw a tall blonde with shining purple eyes standing there smiling like an idiot. "A wonderful sibling-like bond between best friends! It is almost too stunning to believe!" I thought he looked familiar from somewhere. Maybe I saw him while I was running through the halls before lunch... That's it! Lunch!

"You're the guy I stole that soup from!" I shouted triumphantly as Cole dropped his hands from my shoulder and the blonde guy went over to some corner to sulk. "What did I say?"

"Wow, we've only just met her and she's already gotten Tono into his Corner of Woe," one of the red-heads said.

"We like you!" The other said and then boy came on either side of Cole and me.

"Um...I'm going to take that as a compliment," I said, smiling and then winced, my eye hurting. In fact, all of me hurt because of all that running and threatening and yelling.

"Kori," I turned to Cole, my head tilted at his tone.

"Yes, Cole?" I asked as Cole stared at my face.

"Where did you get that black eye?" He asked and I felt my blood freeze. Oh yeah...I forgot to come up with a cover story for that.

"I ran into the corner of the locker block in the girl's gym locker room," I responded, praying that I sounded convincing.

"The bandage on your cheek?"

"Locker corner. Again."

"Is that possible?"

"Does my face have a bandage on it?"

Cole didn't look like he believed a single thing I was saying so I shrugged it off and smiled, ignoring the dull pain I felt in my face. Finally, Cole sighed and simply ruffled my hair.

"Alright, whatever but I'm not going to help you when David asks about it," Cole grumble and I sighed and batted his hand away from my head.

"Abandoner," I chuckled and then I turned to Morinozuka and pointed to his side. "You alright?"

"Ah," he responded and Cole just looked from me to him.

"How did you know...?" I shrugged.

"I helped him hold ice to his bruise in the infirmary," I answered simply as I turned my attention back to the blonde in the corner. "Is he okay?"

"Oh he's fine," I turned my head to see a petite boy (?) standing only a few feet away from the over-dramatic blonde. "Sempai is just being dramatic."

"That seems a bit too much," I muttered and the boy smiled.

"Yeah, but you get used to it," he said and I laughed and then winced again.

"Jesus do I hate black eyes," I grumbled as I tried to brush my hair over my eye. "I hope David doesn't see me like this. He would have a fit." I prayed that I still had time to make some kind of story up before David arrived at school. I prayed and prayed and prayed and hoped. But it seems like I have the luck of the devil because before I knew it, my brother ran through the door of the abandoned music room.

"Hello Dear, Little Sister! I have come to rescue you from this dreadful space of despair and hormones!" After waltzing in like the dramatic actor he was, he promptly walked over to Cole, looked him up and down, tapped the tip of his converse sneaker on the ground, swung his leg back from the knee down and then with all the power of Thor's hammer, kicked Cole in the balls.

Oh brother.


A/N Hey all! I started this way back, got lazy, and then just started writing one night. And I must say...this is one of the shittiest things I have ever written. I'm serious. Please review about things you all want to see on this story. I also take music suggestions.

Kori: Please favorite or follow this story!

Cole: My balls...*whimpers*

David: You fucking deserved it!

Kori: I live with these two morons...Why me?

Because it's my story. :3

Love y'all!
