Kazumi was ripped away from her peaceful sleep by a knocking at the door. She groaned loudly rolling over and pressing her face into her pillow.
"Kazumi?" Misaki called from behind the sturdy polished door. "It's almost 2:00 in the afternoon. Do you want to explore more of the campus with me? It would be a shame to let such a beautiful day go to waste."
Kazumi sat on the edge of her bed rubbing at her eyes wearily, "You just want to see Mori." She stated walking over to the large closet that held her clothes.
"Kazumi!" Misaki exclaimed, no doubt with her face a bright red.
Kazumi had thrown on a semi nice blouse and a pair of dark jeans. She tugged a brush through her dirty blonde hair and threw on a pair of flats. "I'll be out in a minute!" She called running through the bathroom and quickly brushing her teeth. Looking at her reflection in the mirror she shrugged. She looked sort of presentable. She advanced towards the door and swung it open.
Misaki's face was still red from the comment she made a few moments ago. Kazumi tugged her eyebrows together; the one statement really embarrassed her. What had gone on between her and Mori-Sempai? She shook it off smiling at Misaki. "Ready when you are."

Kazumi lay down on the perfect green grass looking up into the sky. It really was a beautiful day. Misaki was sitting next to her burying her face into a book, as usual. They had just finishing trekking through the halls of Ouran Academy and decided to grab some fresh air.
"Miza-Chan! Zumi-Chan!" A voice called interrupting the silence.
Kazumi sat up spotting Honey running towards them with Mori in tow. Misaki slipped the book she had been reading behind her back waving at the two.
"Honey-chan." Misaki smiled. Her gaze fell to Mori and they locked eyes for a second.
Kazumi raised an eyebrow turning her attention back over to the boy racing towards them.
"Zumi-Chan?" Kazumi questioned.
"Mhmm." Honey smiled sitting down between the two girls. "That's the nickname I chose for you." He raised his eyebrows at her, "You do like it, don't you?" His big brown eyes met hers and she nodded hastily.
"O-Of course. I love it." She spit the words out not wanting to upset the adorable boy sitting in front of her.
"Good." He beamed. "Me and Taka-Kun were just going to the Host Club outing over there." He pointed his finger over at the decorative tables, bouquets of flowers, and the pastries.
Misaki tilted her head looking over in the direction he had gestured . "How did we miss that?" She asked dumbfounded.
Kazumi frowned. "I have no clue." It really wasn't something you could miss, but yet they did. "Hm." She grunted still looking over at the insanely expensive furniture and plants.
"Oooohhhh! I have an idea!" Honey exclaimed out of the blue. " How about you guys come see us! You know, while we host. Like you did yesterday." Honey smiled, his eyes lighting up.
Kazumi nodded her head not able to say no to the adorable boy before her. "Sure." She smiled having the sudden urge to wrap him up in a bear hug. She resisted.
Misaki looked over at Mori and nodded her head. "I'd like that." She looked back at Honey.
Honey laughed standing up. "Then it's settled!" He grinned tugging Mori off towards the other Host's. "We'll see you in a bit!" Mori stood up and followed Honey but only after he gave a little wave to Misaki.
Kazumi watched the two walk off and turned her attention towards her blushing friend. "Spill." She demanded staring her down. "What's up between you and Mori?"
Misaki smoothed the sky blue dress she was wearing, avoiding eye contact. "Nothing. Nothing at all…" Her voice trailed off as she looked over in the direction the boys had departed in.
Kazumi rolled her eyes, "You, my friend, are a terrible liar."

A while later Kazumi and Misaki wandered over to the flirting boys and the giggling girls. Just as Kazumi spotted Honey, she was approached by a Kyouya.
He was the boy she had been compared to earlier the other day. She raised an eyebrow to the man standing before her. "What do you want?" She asked rather impolitely.
Misaki elbowed her side scowling over at Kazumi. "What she meant to say is, is there anything we may help you with today?"
Kyouya let out an emotionless chuckle adjusting his glasses. "It is quite alright Miss. Saito."
Kazumi rolled her eyes. "I wasn't asking your permission."
Misaki gasped dramatically. "I am so sorry, Kyouya-chan. She isn't usually this rude." She apologized giving Kazumi another shove. "Anyways what were you going to ask?"
Kyouya cleared his throat casting an annoyed look over at Kazumi. "I am sorry to inform you, But today we cannot allow you to see Honey-Sempai and Mori-Chan without making an appointment and paying the required fee." He let his eyes fall down to the notebook in his hands and scribbled something.
"You're saying we have to pay money to see our friends? Well that's retarded." She grumbled.
Kyouya tilted his head, "Well we have a very orderly system here at the Host Club. We can't afford letting you two in for free. It would cause a ruckus between you and the members who pay. Here we try to be just and fair."
Misaki nodded her head. "We understand. How much for an appointment?" She pulled out her wallet.
Kazumi pursed her lips at Kyouya, No way was she like him. Misaki was just about to hand over the money when the two twins appeared.
"Aw, Look Hikaru. They're back to make appointments. Now tell me girls. Who have you come to see?" Kauru leaned against Misaki and Hikaru on Kazumi.
"Aren't you the gay guys?" Kazumi asked raising her eyebrows.
Kyouya cracked a small smile that went unnoticed to everyone except Kazumi.
Kauru blushed shaking his head. "What? N-"
"Zumi-Chan! Miza-chan!" Honey yelled running up to them and cutting of Kauru. "You came!" He gave them the cutest smile ever. Mori caught up to his small companion and frowned at the twin leaning against Misaki.
Kyouya cleared his throat, the majority of the hosts were hovering around the two girls while the other guests were waiting."We have a schedule to go by, and ladies are waiting." He motioned to the girls sitting around the tables.
The twins rolled their eyes simultaneously. "Sure boss." Hikaru left followed by Kauru. Honey-Chan nodded his head, "Okay. See you really soon Zumi-chan, Miza-chan." He smiled walking with Mori back to their table.
Kazumi waved her hand at the two, as did Misaki.
Kyouya looked at the two of them over his glasses. "One of you ladies can go over there now."
Kazumi looked at Misaki. "You can go." She gave her a small shove.
"Alright, see you in a minute." She smiled walking towards the table of girls.
"That was kind of you." Kyouya noted writing something down.
Kazumi laughed. "Nah. I would rather drown in my own bath water then sit at a table full of those idiotic girls. Really I was being selfish."
Kyouya chuckled inwardly. Yet on the outside his face stayed composed and serious. "That's a bit drastic, don't you think?" He adjusted his glassed looking over at her.
She shrugged her shoulders. "Go spend an hour with them. Then we'll talk."
This time Kyouya let his smirk show, knowing just how annoying those girls could be.
Kazumi watched as girls got up from each table and migrated.
"You may go now, Kazumi." Kyouya said his eyes never leaving his notebook.
"Great." She sighed, walking off towards the Honey and Mori's table.

Kazumi took a bite of her cake letting the flavor explode in her mouth. She didn't often indulge in such fancy pastry's but Honey-Chan had insisted.
"So how is it Zumi-Chan?" Honey asked eagerly from the couch cushion next to her. Honey and Kazumi had ended up on the same couch and Mori and Misaki on the other. Kazumi had practically forced these seating arrangements. She knew something was up between them so she decided to make it as awkward as possible. Misaki knew she did it on purpose, and kept sending her death glares. If looks could kill Kazumi would be dead.
Kazumi nodded her head at Honey taking another bite, "It's delicious." She replied her mouth full of cake.
Honey-Chan laughed taking another piece for himself.
On the other coach things were severely awkward. Every once in a while one of them would clear their throats or nod their heads. They were pretty much silent besides that.
Kazumi looked over at the two trying to get them talking, "So how long have you known eachother?" She questioned waiting for a response.
Misaki glanced over at Mori.
"You know, A while."
Kazumi tilted her head and raised an eyebrow. "Actually I don't know, that's why I am asking. Define a while."
Misaki looked at Mori again shrugging. "Since we were young kids I suppose. Honey and I were always good friends, and Mori was always around Honey. We ended up all becoming pretty close."
Kazumi nodded her head. "That's cool. So why do you guys act so weird around each other?"
Mori grunted his face a scarlet red, Misaki looked down at her shoes. "It's a long story."
Kazumi shrugged her shoulders. "We have time."
Honey nodded his head, becoming curious himself.
Misaki shook her head. "Actually we don't. We need to go eat; you haven't had any food all day, besides that cake." She reached across the table and grabbed her hand tugging her away from the boys.
"Bu-" Kazumi protested getting cut off by Misaki.
"Let's go!"

The cafeteria was pretty much empty besides Misaki and Kazumi.
They ate in silence, awkwardly glancing up at each other between bites.
"Tell me." Kazumi demanded suddenly making Misaki jump.
"Kazumi…I can't tell you." Misaki sighed.
"Now." Kazumi demanded staring her down.
"Kazumi…"
"No more excuses. Tell me." Kazumi growled getting annoyed.
Misaki sighed looking up at her. "Fine." She sighed setting her fork down. "We…We were arranged to get married."
