A/N: Hey, guys! I'm back and rewriting this fic! I decided that I would eventually include the anime story, which means Haruhi will eventually show up. But I really want to keep the story focused on Kyoya/Sakura. So, while I will be doing the anime, I will also have scenes in between. Also, I'm going to be ignoring all knowledge about how schools work in Japan, because I'm too lazy to research that stuff. So if the time seems weird, just kinda ignore it, I guess.

KAY LOVE YOU BYE

Chapter Two

I hate that stupid club. Due to my instant and undeniable dislike, they have at least one person trailing me wherever I go. Like right now for instance. At the current time, all of the members are at a table right behind me in the second library, speaking so loud that it would be difficult not to hear them.

"This is the first girl that I have met who hates the Host Club," I hear Kaoru say.

"We have had girls who have hated just one or two members, but never all of us," follows Hikaru.

"Not all," I hear Mori say.

THAT LITTLE FUCKING SNITCH.

Can he at least try to keep a secret? And why did he suddenly decide that he needs to talk? Is he trying to start shit?

BITCH I WILL THROW DOWN… he would probably kick my ass, so that's definitely not a good idea.

"It was obviously me!" Tamaki instantly exclaims. That self-centered bastard. I don't know if it's an act, or if he's actually that stupid. No, stupid isn't the right word. Innocent? Oblivious? Maybe he just chooses to ignore the hardships of this world.

"No way, Tono," says Kaoru.

"Didn't you see how disgusted you made her?" Hikaru says after.

I hear Hunny's ever excited voice say "It was Kyo-chan, everyone!"

I feel like all movement in the room has stopped, even though it has not. Holy fucking shit. He did not just say that with me in the fucking room. And since when is Hunny the smart one of the group? How the fuck did he know?!

Crap.

Without turning around, I can tell that they are all looking at me. I tense up at the sudden feeling of having every movement I make watched. Simple solution: Don't move. But is my life simple? No. So, naturally, I just have to sneeze right then and there. And you know those times when you sneeze really violently and lose all control of your body? This was NOT one of those times. I let out the tiniest, most high-pitched, kitten-like sneeze. I bury my face in my hands.

Crap.

I hear Kaoru comment, "Well, that was just adorable."

"Why wouldn't she say anything, then?" asks Tamaki, getting back on subject. He clearly doesn't understand the concept of social anxiety. Oblivious indeed.

"Some people are just too afraid to show their affection, that's all," Kyoya replies simply.

BULLSHIT.

I have to physically stop my jaw from dropping. The little shit! I can't help that every single time I'm forced to speak to people that I freeze up. I can't help the fact that every time I see him, I want to run away because I'm afraid of doing something stupid.

IT'S COMPLICATED, OKAY?!

I hastily gather my stuff from my table and head toward the doors. Just as I am about to open it, I dare glancing backward. When I do, I see Kyoya looking at me with a challenging look. I turn away before he can see my blushing face.

BITCH, IT IS SO ON.

As soon as I get out the doors, I set down one of my books, making sure it has my name on it. I remember the title: War and Peace. Why do I always read the classics? Well, classics in my book.

As I turn and walk down the hall, my friend Maemi stops me.

"Hey, Sakura, are you coming to the Host Club after school?" she asks.

"Would it kill you if I said 'no'?" I ask nervously.

"Yes," she replies instantly.

Crap.

I'm one of those people who can't say no. I'm not sure who the hell I get it from, but it's obviously causing some serious problems for me.

It couldn't hurt to go. But that doesn't mean that I want to. Maemi is one of the only people who knows about my severe anxiety. She's also one of the only people who knows about the scars on my arm. We have a code word if my anxiety gets out of control and I'm too afraid to said it out loud. It's a cue for Maemi to drag my ass out of whatever situation I may have gotten myself into. I suppose if things get too bad, I can use Blue as an excuse.

I sigh. "Fine, I'll go."

"Saku-chan!" I hear Hunny's voice yell. Then he jumps on my back.

His weight causes me to drop to the ground, scattering my books everywhere. Somebody bends down to pick them up. Gee, wish I could see who it is, but I'm a bit preoccupied trying to pull Hunny off of my back. That's Haninozuka for you. But what gave him the idea that I'm strong enough to support his weight is beyond me.

"Are you alright?"

I look up and blush as Kyoya holds his hand out to help me up.

"I suppose," I mumble as he hands me my books. I don't look at him as I brush past him. Once I'm around the corner, I look through my stack of books, and, sure enough, there's War and Peace. I flip to the first page where my name is written, and I see a note in neat handwriting:

I think you dropped this. Look forward to seeing you after school.

-KO

THAT LITTLE SHIT.

I lean up against my locker and sigh. The fucking asshole certainly gets around. With my mind reeling for an excuse to not go to the club, I make my way to the library. Hopefully there won't be any Hosts there to bother me this time.
