A/N I really did try to update faster but gods it is harder than I expected. In case you were all wondering, I was on a writing hiatus during March because my self-esteem was heavily beaten. I'm also writing this in uneven intervals because I can only snag mere minutes during class time (thank God I'm not a smut writer that would be awkward) and softball has begun so I have practice every other day. But anyway, here's the new chapter.

Kori: Zari owns nothing but her OC's and the plot.

Cole crumpled to the ground as I stifled a groan.

"You couldn't have made a quieter entrance?" I questioned tiredly and David simply smiled at me.

"Nope! You should know that by now, dear sister!" David chirped and I gasped when he picked me up to hug me and spin me around. "Oh how I missed you, Koko! America is so boring without you!" David crooned as I gasped for air.

"David...can't breathe...oxygen!" I managed to squeak and David put me down, sighing in disappointment. "Thank you," I said breathlessly.

"Um...Kori-senpai," Haruhi began as he looked at my friend on the floor, "who is this guy?"

"This is my idiot brother, David Tanaka AKA, class A moron," I stated before any nonsense spewed from David's mouth.

"Aw, that's not very nice," David pouted and I snorted.

"Says the guy who just storms the room like a trojan warrior with a fanciful way of saying words and then kicks my best friend," I replied and he just glared at Cole and then sniffed and turned his head.

"He deserved it," David said and then looked around at all guys in the room. "And might I ask what you're doing here while you still have class?"

"Because you care about my grades?"

"Touche."

"How did you find me?" I asked and David shrugged.

"I microchipped your phone," he answered simply and I gaped at him.

"You did what?" I almost yelled and David shrugged again.

"I said that I chipped your phone but don't worry; it's totally legal," he said offhandedly and I felt my shoulders sag. My brother is so...out there.

"Who the hell gave you the right to come here and kick me in the balls at random?" Cole said as he struggled to stand back up. David glared daggers at him.

"Do not start any drama while I'm in the room you two," I groaned. A random cough from behind me made me turn and blush bright red. The Host Club was still standing there ever so awkward. "Oh...you guys are still here."

"This is your brother," the twins said slowly and I nodded and turned my eyes back to David.

We barely looked anything alike. While we had the same hair color and similar skin tone, we looked like complete strangers. I have my mother's grey eyes and David has Dad's dark-brown-almost-black eyes. He loves to wear dress shirts, ties, nice pants, vans and leather shoes. I, on the other hand, like to wear sweatshirts that go until my knees, boxers, sweatpants, almost dead sneakers, and long socks. While David was utterly pleasant to talk to and could charm any woman, I like to yell at people, be sarcastic and have the charm of a rabid monkey. He's also completely blind without his glasses while I have twenty-twenty vision.

"The resemblance is uncanny, I know," I sighed as I dropped onto one of the couches tilting my head backwards on the armrest.

"Does he do that a lot?" I saw the brown haired boy (I think it's a girl...) curiously looking at the two idiots who were now arguing.

"All the damned time, bro, all the damned time," I grumbled as I turned onto my side.

"Um...what are you doing, Tanaka-san?" The tall blonde talking again.

"Trying to take a nap," I responded tiredly. "You can't expect me to be completely and utterly energized after running around the entire school looking for my best friend. I'm exhausted." I was just about to completely fall asleep when I felt a weight on my back. It was fucking heavy.

"Hi here Koko-chan!" I could hear the small voice squeak and I recognized it as the small kid that was at my gym class. His weight held me down as he started a conversation with me.

"I'm Hunny! Do you like cake? You brother's really cool! Is Cole okay? Do you like strawberry or chocolate better? Do you fight? What's your favorite subject? Mine's math! Do you want to hold Usa-chan?" He prattled on and somebody finally got him off of me. I sat up and took a deep breath.

"Kind of. Not really. I'd beg to differ. I'm sure he's fine. I rather like vanilla. Verbal or physical? I like musical theory classes best; I'm not good with numbers and is Usa-chan a bunny, perhaps?" I responded and I took another breath as Hunny stared at me with wide eyes.

"Yes he is!" He cried out happily as he jumped out of tall guy's arms (he lifted the little guy off of my back). "Do you want to hold him?" I smiled sheepishly and shrugged. He took that as a yes and shoved the plush toy bunny into my arms. As I looked at the bunny, I felt the seams of the toy and smiled a bit.

"This is handmade, right?" I asked nobody in particular. "Nice fabric. Very soft. Definitely wouldn't make a kid with asthma sneeze too badly. Very worn in. A favorite toy, definitely. Over all, one of the best handmade toys I've ever seen." I felt two arms go around my shoulders.

"You can guess,"

"From just holding it?" I looked to both sides of me and saw the twins staring at the bunny in my arms and I shrugged them off of my shoulders.

"Yeah..." I replied shyly as I handed the bunny back to Hunny who promptly jumped into my lap.

"You're so cool!" He cried out joyously and I smiled at him and then looked up to see most of the Host Club just staring at us.

"Um...yeah so can we leave now?" I questioned curiously and I could feel the room's temperature drop forty degrees.

"Actually, you cannot unless you apologize," Kyoya said and I glared at him.

"Hell no. I though I've already told Fe-Fi-Fo-Fom over there that I won't apologize no matter what dammit," I replied crossly.

"Surely you can make it past your childish attitude and just apologize already," Kyoya said while pushing his glasses up his nose, the light glinting evilly. I swallowed the lump in my throat. "Okay then. Fine. I'll apologize. I'm sorry that you were in the way when I threw the damned bowl of soup. There, ya' demon from hell, you happy now?" I growled at Kyoya and his eyebrows shot to his forehead.

"Kori, couldn't your vocabulary change just a tad," David asked and I shook my head.

"Nope," I replied, popping the "p" and David sighed. "Now can we leave?"

"I'm afraid that isn't possible, Koko," Cole grunted as he got up. "After they kidnapped me, they made me promise that I would stay for at least one hosting session to see if I like it or not." I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Are you fucking kidding me? I should get up and kick your butt. But instead, I'll sit here with Hunny," I growl and Hunny giggles.

"Does that mean you'll stay to eat cake with me, Koko-chan?" Hunny questions and I shrug as a nervous smile makes its way onto my face.

"Why the hell not? So long as I'm not making anyone uncomfortable," I respond. "Oh and by the way, what's a host club?"

~Thirty Minutes Later~

"What the fuck is this?" I hissed under my breath as I glanced around the room. I was sitting at Hunny's and Mori's table, trying to eat as little cake as possible without barfing at all the superfluous displays of affection. To be honest, I was fucking scared for my life. And virginity. But mostly my virginity.

"Koko-chan, do you want anymore cake?" Hunny questioned and I gave him a tight smile and shook my head.

"Nah, that's okay, Hunny; I don't like sweets too much," I responded and he gave me a small frown but then went back to smiling and entertaining his guests. I sighed and rested my chin in the palm of my hand.

"So bored," I murmured quietly as I looked around the room. After a couple of minutes, I spotted David and Cole working their manly magic with all the girls and I fought the urge to burst out laughing at the over zealous displays of affection. I managed a small giggled and then heard someone say my name.

"...Kori-san?" I turned my head towards the voice and after realizing that Hunny and Mori had gone to the back room to get something, I finally figured out that it was one of the girls. I simply smiled at her.

"What was that? Sorry, I'm a bit of a space-case," I laughed and she smiled.

"What were you giggling at?" She asked and I shrugged.

"My brother and my best friend over there,"I replied, jerking my head slightly to indicate where the two hooligans were. "I've never really been social myself but I always have fun watching those two morons socialize."

"Are you three close friends?" Another girl asked and I smiled again.

"Yeah. Of course, I've known David since I was a baby but Cole only came into my life when I was in kindergarten. He's a year older, ya' see, but he acts like he's five. Though, the two only met when I was twelve and they were thirteen but I'm pretty sure I love both of them equally," I said remembering when they first met each other. "In fact, they met on accident. One day, I fell from climbing a tree just for the hell of it. God, it hurt like a bitch. I still have the scar. Anyway, Cole literally lived a block away from me so he helped me get home. My brother was attending a boarding school at the time and had just come back for spring break. Damn, the look on his face when I rang the doorbell and he opened the door to see me bruised, bloody and smiling with some random kid who wore jeans and a black t-shirt in ninety degree weather. He looked like he was about to faint," I laughed aloud at the memory. "After that, we went inside and the instant Cole mention Harry Potter - David has a poster in his room - they were inseparable."

"That's so sweet," the girls cooed and I simply laughed. We continued talking and I had a permanent smile on my face. Until that girl showed up.

"You again," the voice sneered and I turned to see my tormentor from earlier. I turned my gaze to her and my cheerful smile disappeared.

"Good to see you, too," I reply sarcastically. Too bad I couldn't leave because right that second because Mori and Hunny chose that exact second to come back and I don't want Hunny to start crying because of me.

"Hi, Aika-chan!" Hunny greeted her and her sneer disappeared and transformed into a kind and jovial expression.

"Hello, Hunny-san!" Aika greeted and I resisted the urge to puke at the sound of her sugary-sweet voice.

"You've got to be kidding me," I muttered under my breath but put on a smile. "I'll be going now. I have some homework to do. Sorry, Hunny." I said quickly getting up and grabbing my bag.

"Are you sure you have to leave?" Hunny asked and I gave him a tight smile.

"Yeah. I really do. Bye," I said shortly as I hurried on my out. On my way towards the door, I grabbed Cole's bag which contained my blocks. "I'm going to the library. Tell David that when he gets back," I grumbled as I hoisted the heavy bag over my shoulder. Cole barely nodded at my request and I trudged out the door.

~With the hosts~

"What's your favorite thing to do, Cole-senpai?" One of the girls asked Cole, who seemed fairly uncomfortable with the situation.

"Um...I suppose listen to music and hanging out with Kori and David," Cole replied and some of the girls glanced nervously at each other.

"Are you dating Kori-san?" One of the braver girls asked and Cole laughed.

"Nope. Kori's more of a little sister to me so I wouldn't ever be able to date her and I doubt that David would ever let me," Cole said, laughing again.

"How do you know Kori-san?" Another girl asked and David shrugged.

"Well, during the years that David was away at boarding school, Kori began going to my middle school. She didn't exactly fit in and neither did I so we ended up becoming friends with each other. Then one day when Kori was being a moron and decided to climb a random tree at the park and fell down, I had to drag her ass back home. I ran the doorbell and lo' and behold, David answers. Let's just say him seeing me with a banged up and bruised Kori wasn't exactly the best first impression but hey, we're still friends so that's all the matters," Cole told them and a couple girls laughed.

"I can only imagine David's reaction," the first girl giggled.

"I do believe I took the nearest thing and threatened you with it," a new voice said and Cole looked up to see David walking over to them.

"The threat didn't work because: a) You were holding a flower vase; b) You threatened to decapitate my head with it and c) the second you saw Kori was hurt you began to freak out like a mom," Cole replied and David rolled his eyes.

"He looked genuinely afraid at first though," David said smugly and Cole blushed slightly.

"Davey looked so damned serious about it as well," Cole growled and the girls giggled at his reaction.

"As serious as a head of lettuce," David deadpanned and Cole rolled his eyes.

"I thought you were going to kill me with a flower vase!" Cole cried out and David laughed along with the girls.

"If I had wanted to do that, wouldn't you be dead right now?" David asked, an eyebrow cocked and Cole rolled his eyes again and folded his arms across his chest.

"Whatever moron," Cole scoffed as David took his seat.

"You sound like my sister," David bantered and then realized that their table had become silent. Both David and Cole turned to look away from each other and saw that the entire table had been staring at them with starry eyes.

"Um..." Cole wasn't sure what to say at the exact moment and was relieved when Kyoya announced it was time for them to switch customers.

~Back to Kori's POV~

"Wow, for a school with high test scores, this is a pretty empty library," I murmured under my breath as I walked throughout the library so I could find the librarian. I was surprised to find a sleeping senior at the main desk. After several minutes of just standing there, I knocked on the desk with my knuckles and he sat up, startled, scattering many papers and books in the process.

"Um...hi," I said shyly and he blinked at me from behind his thick glasses.

"What?" He asked sharply and I winced at his harsh tone.

"I'm just wondering when this place closes," I asked and he shrugged as he picked up a leather briefcase.

"I'm leaving. Just make sure you lock the door after you leave," he replied as he began stuffing papers in to his bag. Before I could think of anything to say, he was gone. I shrugged, sighed and then worked my way towards the back of the room.

~A Short Time After~

I found myself in a small alcove towards the back of the library that was equipped with a wall jack, a table with reading light and small window with curtains. There was just enough space for me to put down the two bags and sit down myself. It was slightly warm but not hot and not cold. I could practically imagine myself just sleeping here.

"I feel like I've found some secret base," I told myself and jumped when I heard my voice reverberate off the walls of the library. I smiled to myself and started singing back to myself. Nothing major. Just parts of the scale.

"Do re mi, mi re sol, fa mi re, sol fa sol fa, mi re do, la sol sol la fa, sol la fa, sol la fa, sol la fa mi re, sol la ti do!" This went on for minutes until I felt comfortable enough to just start singing songs. I felt comfortable as I walked around the library looking for books to read. I finally found a book and ended up sitting down on the ladder-step stool-thing and reading. I suppose that it was a pretty stupid idea but hey, it didn't seem so bad at the time.

~Back to the Hosts~

"Hey Cole, where did Kori go?" David asked Cole as Kyoya closed the Host Club up.

"She said something about the library," Cole responded as he scratched his chin. "Lemme call her," Cole suggested. He dialed her number and then put the cell to his ear only to get her voicemail box.

"Hey...how do I fucking work this thing? I just talk? What the fu-"

"Voicemail..." Cole sighed as he turned to David.

"That either means she turned her phone off or she lost it," David said, after a few moments of thoughtful silence.

"Maybe we should go look for her," Cole suggested and as the two moved towards the door, Tamaki jumped in front of them.

"We shall help as well! We haven't gotten to talk to the maiden and I would love to get to know her!" He declared and since Cole and David had no other choice than allowing Tamaki and Co. to tag along, they sighed and nodded. With that, Cole, David, and the host club went out in search for Kori.

~Kori~

"I finally found it!" I shouted triumphantly as I climbed up the ladder that was sitting next to the tall bookshelf. I had ventured up to the second floor and accidentally dropped my bag and it landed on a bookshelf. After a good hour or two, I found it. When I made it up to the top of the shelf, I turned to see the rest of the shelves and was shocked to see something I hadn't bothered to notice before. Because of the angle I was looking from, I saw that someone had painted a pattern on the shelves so that the entirety of the shelves would look like Van Goh's "Starry Night".

"Damn," I whispered and I ended up sitting on the top of the shelf for a while, just looking out at the beautiful display of colors. I felt oddly entranced until I realized that I was still on top of the book shelf. I began to laugh and then thought about how I would sound if I started to sing. Yeah, I'm not sure what convinced me that I might sound different but, oh well.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey, you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away," I sang and I was about to take a final breath when someone below me began to clap. Startled by the sound, I turned to see but my momentum made me fall. My mind blanked and all I could see was the oncoming ground.

THAT TOOK FUCKING FOREVER SORRY GUYS SHIT UGHHHHHH SORRY.

I love you guys but I am lazy as fuck. I finally finished with a cliffy. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Not really. I could've done worse. Like maybe leave you guys hanging while a doctor is talking to Mr. Tanaka about some fatal disease. Oh wait! I have a scene up my sleeve.

"Mr. Tanaka, the test results have come in," a doctor announced, walking int Mr. Tanaka's office. Mr. Tanaka sighed, picking up a photo of his children and his wife.

"Well, don't hold it in old friend; tell me the results," Mr. Tanaka's breathing beginning to quake as his personal doctor of twenty years gulped and then let out a breath.

"It came back-"

I. Am. Evil.

I love you guys bunches and thanks for waiting patiently because I am way too lazy to write and I put myself onto an unwanted hiatus for a couple months.
