Mori and Misaki walked down the halls of Ouran Academy towards the abandoned Music room three, or so it appeared. They held hands, but only because of the polite gesture from Mori which Misaki gracefully, and politely, accepted; though other thoughts ran rambunctiously inside of both of their heads as they continued on their short journey.
Mori opened the door for her and Misaki dipped her head lightly to him before she walked through. They came in to see Honey and Kazumi chilling out on the couch with Kyoya sitting erect on the couch across. The twins loomed over the back of Kazumi and Honey's couch with Tamaki and Haruhi arguing not far off.
"Please Haruhi! Don't do this! Daddy just can't let his little girl present herself so provocatively to such horrid young men!"
"Provocatively? Senpai, what are you talking about?" she growled, looking very much irritated. Her eyes turned down to the dress she wore. It was simple, but well suited for her. A dark maroon color was always good for brunettes. It was nothing more than a sun dress, thin straps and it reached her knees, there were not extra patterns or threads in pretty designs. Misaki could only assume it was actually Haruhi's dress but she looked cute in it.
"Mori and Misaki, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Hikaru sang, and was suddenly beside Mori, Kaoru beside Misaki. His expression did not mirror his brother's as it normally did. Instead he looked irritated whilst Hikaru looked amused. Mori and Misaki's faces instantly turned red, dropping each other's hands. "Why don't you give her a smooch, Mori-Senpai?" Hikaru crooned.
Kaoru leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Misaki's cheek, sending a pointed glare in Mori's direction with an evil grin. "He isn't man enough."
"Kaoru …" Misaki mumbled with a frown, her face even darker. She let her fingers slip lightly over her cheek and took a glimpse up at Mori. She had kind of hoped to see at least a look of jealousy. However, the look on Mori's face was much darker than that. He barred his teeth at Kaoru, his eyebrows slowly drawing in to actually show his emotions.
"Miza! C'mon over here and sit down! Zumi-Chan and I got out a cake before the meeting!" Honey was instantly in front of Misaki and dragging her away by her hands towards the couches. She let her attention leave Mori and settled herself on the couch beside Kazumi.
"So … How was your studying?" Kazumi asked in an innocent way, causing her friend to give her a look.
"Just fine, thanks."
"Indeed …" Kazumi chuckled.
"Alright, settle down now." Kyoya called to the three boys still at the entrance of the Host Club's meeting room. They slowly wandered over to the couches and Kaoru made a point to sit right next to Misaki, leaving her very little space between him and Kazumi for her to sit. Mori moved to stand behind her, his large hands resting on the back of the couch, one placed just behind Kaoru so he could grab him if he started doing anything at all to Misaki. "So today we're starting the Hostess side of our club. I know there are at least a few young men coming today but I would not be surprised by any new guests. Girls, you will be over on the other side of the room, we don't need your customers mingling with our own. At least not now." Kyoya began stating all of his rules and regulations. Kazumi made faces all the way through it, giving plenty of eye rolls and groans.
"Kyoya-Senpai, that's a lot to have to think about …" Haruhi muttered and he sighed.
"You'll be thankful for them, Haruhi, once this whole things starts. Young men can get boisterous and might disturb the girls. We cannot have that now, can we?"
"I guess not …" The short haired girl mumbled.
"Don't worry, we can handle it." Misaki said with a smile.
"I know you can handle it Miss Saito, that is certain. I'm worried about those two …" Kyoya mumbled glancing over at Haruhi and Kazumi.
"Us?" they said in unison, looking at each other.
"Indeed …"
"But Senpai … I have experience …" Haruhi began.
"You do, but that is with young ladies. Kasanoda doesn't really count. Since he's only come in a few times. And Kazumi … Well … I'm just a little concerned … I'll be keeping a close eye on both of you." Kazumi grumbled something under her breath and stood up, marching to the other side of the room. Misaki and Haruhi followed in her wake, glancing at each other before they turned their eyes ahead. All of the guys watched them, wondering silently about how this was going to turn out.

"Hello Hayashi-San, how are you today?" Kazumi said sweetly, her head tilted slightly to the side. This was her second pleased customer and everyone, except for Kyoya, were exceptionally surprised. "Would you like to sit down?" Kyoya's eyes scanned over Haruhi and then Misaki. Neither one of them seemed to be having trouble. The male customers appeared to be on their best behavior and all three girls prayed it stayed that way for the rest of the evening. They could hear some of the girls asking the Host club's male members about this new addition and Haruhi's sudden change in gender. Her female customers had become very upset.
Out of fear for losing some extra profits, Kyoya convinced these girls to go back to the Hosts they were visiting before Haruhi became a Host. They agreed this was fair and went back to their original Hosts, saving the Host club a shortage in their profits.
.
.
"Mori-Senpai, are you alright?" One of the girl customers at Honey's table was watching him warily. His gaze was cold, and focused across the room where Misaki smiled sweetly and giggled every now and again. He blinked, and turned his eyes down to the dark haired young lady.
"Yeah," he said simply, but she was obviously not convinced. Her eyes turned to Honey again as he shoved more cake in his mouth. Mori's eyes moved back across the room in time to catch Misaki's gaze on him. She looked startled and quickly looked away to her customer, smiling in an almost flustered way. A smile twitched at the corner of his lips.
.
.
"Are you alright Misaki?" the young man she was sitting with asked and Misaki nodded, careful to keep her eyes off of Mori.
"Yes, perfect. I think I could just use a drink." She said, reaching over to the table and picking up the tea cup and lifting it to her lips.
"Is there anything against a customer asking a Hostess out to dinner?" Misaki was careful not to spit the tea back into the cup. Swallowing, she then set the cup down on the table.
"I'm sorry; I don't believe that that would be appropriate."
"Well why not?"
"Don't you think other guys would be jealous? If you start taking me to dinner, my other customers might want to do the same. Then I would have absolutely no time on my hands. I think that the Host Club members have made a rule on that already."
"Mm … I see. Perhaps I will stop coming to see you as a customer. Then would you reconsider?"
"Tanaka-San …" the young man slid two fingers under her chin and lightly tilted her head up so she was looking at him.
"Please, call me Koji." He was handsome of course, as most guys here at the expensive academy were. Misaki looked into his light brown eyes. She did not find them unattractive, but she found herself comparing them to Mori's onyx and found no easy comparison as she had loved those dark eyes for so much longer. The light eyes moved up over her head and Misaki felt two hands slip onto her waist and pull her away, down the length of the couch to the other side. She looked up at Mori, but he was too busy glaring at Koji. Kaoru stood beside the couch with his arms folded over his chest and a glare fixed on this guy as well.
"You do not touch the Hostesses unless they invite it. We made this very clear in the notes around the school." The red head said sternly and Koji rolled his eyes.
"Who said she wasn't inviting it? She did not call for you guys to come over here." Koji looked up in time to find himself nose to nose with Kazumi, barring her teeth at him.
"Get out before I rip off your face and staple it to your butt." She growled and he looked at her in slight surprise.
"Excuse me?" he retorted and Kazumi's expression grew dark.
"You heard me." She hissed and he was quick to stand up. He was tall, but not as tall as Mori. And when he moved to stand next to Kazumi, the two managed to loom menacingly over him and glare evilly up at him. Between them both, Koji Tanaka sent one glance back at Misaki before he walked swiftly to the exit. Kazumi smiled proudly, placing her hands on her hips. She looked over at her customer who looked extremely surprised and she realized he had seen all of that. Her eyes moved across the room to see Kyoya, grimacing at her with that flash of light in his glasses. She slowly inched over to her customer, easing down onto the couch. "I … Apologize. I just … Defending my best friend …" she said awkwardly with an almost cute smile. The guy smiled a little, nervously.
"Aha … Yeah. No problem, I understand." He dismissed with a dark blush. Well, at least they knew not to go after one of the Hostesses. And after the commotion, everyone went back to what they were doing; except for Mori, Kaoru and Misaki.
"Honestly, I appreciate your concern but I am perfectly okay." Misaki assured the two, the boys sitting on either side of her with worried looks on their handsome faces.
"Um … Kaoru? The girls …" Hikaru said awkwardly from one side of the couch. He was not used to working alone, or seeing his brother like this. Kaoru sighed and pulled away from Misaki, standing up.
"Alright then …" he said, giving her one last glance before he followed Hikaru back to their customers. Mori still sat beside her, searching her face in silence.
"Takashi … I'm fine." She assured him with a little smile. Misaki felt her cheeks warm as he took her hand and lifted it to his lips. Mori placed a gentle kiss on her knuckles before he straightened up and let her hand go.
"Misaki, your next appointment is ready." Kyoya said, now standing beside the couch. He gave Mori a questioning look before gesturing to Honey's table. Mori gave a nod and walked back in that direction, leaving Misaki alone on the couch.
"Thank you, Kyoya." She said and he gave a nod before another young man walked over to the couch with a bit of a blush and a shy smile.

"Well I suppose today was acceptable." Kyoya began, glancing over the notes scribbled neatly in his book. "Perhaps we can have the Hostesses stick around awhile."
"Only awhile?" Kazumi asked with a snort and the young man looked up at her with the light shining on his glasses.
"Perhaps." He repeated with the tiniest hint of a smirk. "Anyway, tomorrow shall carry on just the same. All three of you have customers for the night so be ready and hopefully things will go smoothly."
"So … We have to do this every evening after school?" Kazumi asked, sounding exhausted in her speech.
"Yes, Miss Ayaka. That was the deal." Kyoya shot back, sounding a lot less playful. "Now please, may I continue?"
"Puh-lease do." She muttered, slumping back the lush chair. Kyoya eyed her for a few moments before his eyes turned back to his well-kept notebook.
"Now we will start planning and advertising for the next big event."
"How often do you have these events?" Misaki asked.
"Once or twice a month," Hikaru replied, appearing in front of Kyoya with a pointedly raised finger.
"Depending on funding and ideas, of course." Kaoru added, appearing in the mirror position of his twin.
"Well what do you plan to do this time?" she questioned, looking around at the faces.
"Don't know. We don't always stay at the academy." Kyoya said,
"Oh yeah! Towards the beginning of Haruhi's hosting; we went to the beach with the girls." Tamaki said cheerily.
"I thought that was just going to be a trip for the Host Club though." Haruhi muttered, giving Tamaki a sideways glance.
"Anyway, Ellie is superb." Grinned Kyoya. Everybody around the room nodded in agreement. "And now onto more pressing matters." He adjusted his glasses and took in a deep breath. "This month we want to do something away from the academy, like the beach or something relaxing in general. I considered the tropical island amusement park we visited several months back."
"No way Kyoya-Senpai!" Haruhi immediately interrupted. "Don't you remember what happened last time?"
"Don't worry, Haruhi." Kyoya soothed in his chilled voice, therefore causing no positive effect. "We've had it upgraded and there are no longer alligators running about …"
"Alligators?" Kazumi asked in surprise, her eyes wide.
"That was fun … But I want to go somewhere new!" Honey said, from his usual spot on Mori's shoulders with Usa-Chan sitting on Mori's head.
"Well, do we want to plan a vacation or a small event?" Misaki asked, and immediately Honey piped up once more.
"I want to go on vacation! It sounds like fun! Right, Takashi?"
"Yeah." Came Mori's usual, simple reply. Kyoya tapped his notebook lightly with his pen as he thought.
"Where is somewhere new we could go?" he asked, mostly to himself.
"Misaki, what about the resort your family owns? I'm sure that would be a great place." Kazumi suggested, leaning back on the couch.
"Oh yes! I forgot about that. That would be perfect, actually. My Father could have it reserved for the club and the customers. Then we won't have to worry about people coming around. It's very private, in the middle of nowhere actually. There's a lake nearby and a lovely pool … And it wouldn't cost the club a cent, I'd make sure of that."
"I must admit I like the sound of that …" Kyoya spoke thoughtfully.
"All I have to do is call my Father."
"But Misaki, your Father is Saito Osamu, right?" Hikaru asked,
"Yes?"
"Well … Why would you guys have a resort? That has nothing to do with building cars." Kaoru continued.
"Sure it does, there's a huge garage there. Whenever my Dad needs to get away from it all, he goes to the resort and works on his personal cars."
"Cars?" Haruhi asked slowly and everyone looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Saito automobiles, they're the top producers of cars all around Japan and even out of the country." Kyoya replied easily. "In fact, most of the Otori family cars were personally designed by Saito Osamu."
"You sure your Father wouldn't mind a bunch of kids running around?" Hikaru asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Not at all, we're all civilized. I'm sure everything will go smoothly. If this is what we plan to do, I ought to call him today and make sure that he can get the resort cleared out by the end of the month."
"I suppose we know what our event is going to be this month." Kyoya concluded. "I think the mixing of the young men and women will be a little more difficult but nothing we cannot handle."

Osamu had been more than happy to provide the resort for his daughter and her club. There would be a full staff and all the rooms would be prepared for customers. There was one wing for the girls, one wing for the boys and a smaller wing for the Host members to stay in. The trip was advertised and customers began preparing for it as well as the Host club.
A month came and went, Kazumi and Misaki managed to get into the regular school day and neither really had much trouble. Kazumi still tutored Honey every now and again, it was questionable whether he honestly needed it or not. Mori and Misaki would still send bashful gazes back and forth and irritate the bits out of everyone with their shyness. Though every afternoon they sat on a blanket together under a tree, did homework or read and sometimes talk, though it was rare. It was their quiet time, and both enjoyed it.
It was that time of day now, and Kazumi and Honey poked their heads around the corner of the academy to peek at their friends.
"This is ridiculous." Kazumi finally spoke up and Honey tilted his head back to look up at her.
"It is?"
"It is! They both obviously like each other. Why don't they just go out already?"
"Miza-Chan and Taka-Kun aren't like that … They'll do it when they're ready …" Honey replied.
"When will that be, Honey?" Kazumi asked, raising an eyebrow at him. He stayed quiet and she nodded her head. "Exactly, maybe it's about time we do something to … Prod them in the right direction."
"Hmm …" Honey and Kazumi looked back to the two on the blanket, reading and doing their homework.
"And this weekend will be the perfect time to do it!" she added with a grin. Kazumi grabbed Honey's hand and pulled him out from behind the building, dragging him over to Misaki and Mori. They both looked up from their work as she stopped in front of them. Honey stood beside her with his little hands on his hips. "C'mon you two, time to go to the Host Club to meet up with everybody so we can get out of here!" Mori and Misaki looked at each other before they began putting their things away.
"When are we supposed to be leaving?" Misaki asked,
"Soon as everyone is ready! Everyone is already at the club." Eventually, Mori and Misaki had everything put away and they were all on their way into the academy and walking to the Host Club's room. When the door opened, they were greeted with Tamaki arguing with the twins on who got to sit next to Haruhi on the way there. The twins of course were just teasing the poor Princely young man and everyone but Tamaki knew it.
"I'm not sitting beside any of you!" Haruhi growled, causing all three to shut up, but only Tamaki to let tears come to his eyes.
"B-but Haruhiiiiii!"
"No Senpai!"
"Haruhi can't sit beside you, Tamaki, because she is going to sit between me and Misaki." Kazumi appeared beside the brunette, linking arms with her. Haruhi smiled a little, it felt good to have girl friends now.
"Exactly." She said sternly with a nod.
"Is everyone ready to go?" Kyoya asked from the front of the room, closing his notebook. "We have limos ready to bring the customers and a private one for us. If we leave now we'll be there just before dinner. All of our things are currently being loaded into the van that will be following us."
"Isn't that … A lot?" Kazumi asked slowly.
"Is it?" Hikaru asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well I think so …" Haruhi said with a frown.
"You two really need to get used to the rich life." Kaoru said, his expression the same as his brother's. The two girls looked at each other, their eyes blank.
"Let's go everyone." Kyoya said, gathering his laptop bag and notebook. Everyone else went off to grab the things that they needed for the car trip and Kyoya led the group out to the limo. As promised, Haruhi sat between the two girls. Honey sat beside Misaki with Mori right beside him. Across from them sat the twins, Kyoya and Tamaki. Kyoya looked already as if he were about to explode. Misaki bit down on her lip as she watched him.
"Kyoya … Would you like to trade seats?"
"I'm quite alright, Misaki, thank you." He said in that cool voice. Misaki shook her head at him and pulled herself out of her seat, gesturing to it.
"I insist. If those boys irritate you all the way to the resort then I will be frustrated having to sit across from you so please, you are doing me a favor." This seemed to change his mind a little, and Kyoya glanced around at the faces in the vehicle before he murmured his thanks and the two switched seats. Kaoru was more than happy with this trade off.
After about an hour he announced he was sleepy and made himself comfortable by resting his head on Misaki's shoulder, leaning against her. He sent a pointed look in Mori's direction before his eyes closed. Mori seemed less than pleased, the corners of his lips turned down in a frown. Misaki was completely distracted by the book in her lap.
The rest of the ride was fairly quiet. Honey slept against Mori whilst he stared out the window, occasionally looking over at Misaki and to glare at Kaoru. Kazumi sketched in her notebook and Haruhi did some school work. Kyoya seemed to be writing papers or something on his laptop. Hikaru spent a lot of the time thinking or trying to sleep whilst his twin stayed in much the same position. That had Hikaru slightly confused, he had no idea what was up with Kaoru at all. He never acted like this.
The limo parked in front of a beautiful building. It was rustically charming; large in width and not so much in stories as it only appeared to be about two or three stories up but very large in square footage. Misaki was quick to close her book and look over the building. It was just how she always remembered. The nine (ten if you include Usa-Chan) climbed out of the long car and looked up at the lovely place. It was like a gigantic cottage.
"There's a lovely pool in the back, and the lake is just over that hill. There's a pathway to get there." Misaki explained, gesturing to the hill as she spoke about it. There were stairs that climbed up its side and no doubt stairs that climbed down the other side.
"Miza!" she looked over to see a man standing just outside of the garage. He started to walk over and she hurried over towards him, her group of friends following. When he was finally in view, the man was obviously a little older with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. He stood tall and broad shouldered, dressed in a dirty gray t-shirt and blue work slacks covered in grease and oil stains from head to toe. The only sign he was getting older were the slight wrinkles starting to form on the outside corner of his eyes, showing off his years of happiness.
"Hi Dad," Misaki grinned as she finally met him in the middle and they embraced each other in a warm hug. He kissed his daughter on the cheek and pulled back to look at her.
"How was the ride over?"
"Just fine," Misaki nodded and he smiled back. Then Osamu looked over her group of friends.
"Hello everyone," he said, smiling kindly. Until his eyes came to Honey and Mori. A wider smile came to his face. "Well well well." he began. "Look at you two! Last time I saw ya, you were just wee little guys." Honey smiled cheekily and bowed, Mori followed suit.
"Hello Saito-Sama!" Honey said brightly. "It is very good to see you."
"Yeah." Mori said quietly.
"I'm glad the both of you are back in Miza's life. It makes me and Ayame more comfortable having her at Ouran." Osamu sent Mori a look with a bit of a smirk. "And I'm sure you're just as glad." he said. Though his comment was directed at both of them, his glance made Mori blush darkly.
"This is Hikaru, Kaoru, Tamaki, Kyoya and Haruhi." Misaki gestured to each of them as she spoke, eager to change the subject.
"Oh yeah … You're an Otori boy. I've worked with your Father."
"Indeed you have sir," Kyoya nodded and Osamu's eyes trailed over to the limo.
"In fact, that's my limo."
"It is."
"Glad to see it's still in use."
"We would never let such good work go to waste."
"Good to know." Osamu nodded before he straightened up. "Alright. Welcome to the resort, you may do as you please as long as there isn't any crazy partying and please do your best to clean up after yourselves. Otherwise I don't care. And if any of these young men on their way touch, say or do anything inappropriate to my daughter … Kazumi … Even that young lady there, Haruhi. No one is to stop me from throwing him and all of his belongings into the lake. Have I made myself clear?"
"Yes sir!" They all said and he nodded.
"Fantastic. If you need me I'll be in my garage." And with that, Osamu began walking back in the direction he came. Misaki shook her head, letting out a long sigh.
"Your Dad seems pretty cool …" Kaoru said slowly and Misaki rolled her eyes.
"He can be a little odd at times but I think any person has their … Oddities. Let's head inside. I'm sure my Mother will have dinner almost ready." They all agreed and started inside. Misaki was greeted by her Mom as soon as they all walked into the huge kitchen where many chefs worked; including Ayame Saito.
"Oh Misaki! It's only been a month and I feel like it's been a year!" her Mom hugged her tightly and pulled back to look at her friends. Once again her eyes caught on Mori and Honey, though she was a little more curious about Mori. "I just can't believe how much you two have grown!" she grinned, looking between them before she hugged the both of them. Kazumi and Haruhi exchanged looks. How much could Honey have possibly grown? "Dinner will be ready within the hour, go ahead and get your things situated, have a look around." Ayame shooed them out of the kitchen and they were forced to go outside to wait for the luggage van.
It was barely five minutes before the customers and the van arrived. Their luggage was pulled off of the bus and hand delivered to the rooms they had been assigned to.
"So what are we going to do?" Kazumi asked. "We've only got an hour until dinner is ready so I think swimming should wait until later."
"That is true … Maybe we should go check out our rooms and then have Misaki show us around." Haruhi said, looking around at everyone. They agreed, and Misaki led them back inside to the private wing they all would be sharing.
"Aren't the boys' rooms a little too close to the girls' …" Tamaki asked in a nervous way. His eyes slowly moved to the twins in time to see their evil grins. He yelped, immediately going to Haruhi and holding her to his chest. "Those boys are going to bother my little Haruhi and then she'll never get her sleep or privacy!"
"Actually, Haruhi, Kazumi and I will be sharing a room." Misaki spoke up,
"So if any of your faces show up in our room I will gladly smash it in." Kazumi said with an almost sweet smile, yanking Haruhi by her arm away from Tamaki.
"Charming …" Kyoya muttered. They all went off to their rooms, situating themselves.
.
.
"What's up with you lately?" Hikaru asked his twin. He was perched on the edge of his bed, watching his brother set up his suitcase.
"What do you mean?" Kaoru raised an eyebrow at him, head tilting slightly to the side.
"Why're you always staring at Misaki? And you've been trying to make a move on her too. It's kind of weird, since when did you really like a girl?"
"Is there something wrong with that, Hikaru? Am I not allowed to grow up and have a life? I don't have to be stuck with you if I don't want to."
"I never said you had to!" They stared at each other, a slight bit of anger hanging in the air between them. "It's not like it would work anyway, Kaoru. It's obvious that Misaki likes Mori-Senpai and he likes her back." He lay down on his back as he spoke, not wanting to look into his brother's gold eyes as he grew angry.
"Mori-Senpai would never make the first move, and Misaki is a lady. She would not step up and ask him herself."
"So what? You're going to wedge yourself between them?" Hikaru asked, sitting right up again, looking not only surprised but slightly disgusted.
"I'll simply have to make myself more appealing. That shouldn't be too hard, especially since Mori-Senpai doesn't do much to impress. He doesn't try at all." Kaoru shrugged and Hikaru rolled his eyes.
"He doesn't need to; it's obvious they both know the situation. Maybe they're just waiting for the right time. I'm not going to let you screw this up for them Kaoru."
"Whatever, do what you will brother." The younger twin brushed it off and continued to settle himself in the nicely furnished room. Hikaru pulled himself from the bed, swiftly leaving the room. For once, he could not stand to be in the same room as him.
.
.
At dinner time, everyone sat at tables around the dining hall, chatting and eating the delicious meal that had been presented to them. All of the customers were excited to change into their bathing suits and head off to the pool and the lake. All of the host members sat at a separate table, chatting merrily. Except for the twins, both looked annoyed. At what exactly, no one was sure. But everyone was too afraid to ask, so they continued with their meal.
"Miza, darling!" she looked up to see her Mother walking over to her with two covered plates. "Why don't you go take this to your Father in his garage? Takashi, would you be a dear and take his dessert?"
"Miss Ayame, I could-," Kaoru started to speak up but the older woman silenced him with a glare. Everyone except for Mori looked a little uncomfortable and embarrassed for the twin. Mori nodded his head and stood up. He and Misaki took the plates and started towards the back door. He held the door open for her and they saw Misaki look up at him and smile before she walked through. Mori followed her.
"Ohhhh aren't they just the cutest together!" Ayame beamed, clasping her hands together.
"Miss Ayame … You want Misaki and Mori … Together?" Haruhi asked, a girl who never really seemed to know anything about romance. The woman looked to her, her eyebrows raised slightly.
"Well of course I do. It was planned when they were children, I don't see why we can't go through with it now." She shrugged before turning and walking off to the kitchen. Everyone at the table except Kazumi and Honey looked confused. They all looked to Honey as he shoveled a bite of cake into his mouth. He looked back at everyone with wide eyes.
"What? I don't know anything!" then they looked to Kazumi and she shrunk back in her seat a little.
"Eh … Me either?" She shrugged, unconvincingly at that.
"Kazumi …" Hikaru was suddenly behind her, Kaoru just to her right. Tamaki looked like a begging puppy dog and Haruhi looked slightly interested. Her eyes flickered to Kyoya, looking down at his notebook. It was probably bothering him that for once he did not have the information his little club craved.
"I dunno guys, it's not my information to share …" she said, pushing back her chair a little.
"Leave her alone, if it's really that important Misaki and or Mori-Senpai would have told us already." Kyoya said, pushing his glasses up on his nose before he stood. "Now I don't know about you all but I'm going to go change and go out to the pool. There were murmurs of agreement before everyone else stood and started after Kyoya out of the dining hall. Kazumi sighed in relief before she stood and hurried after them.
