AN It's a little short, but I'm pretty happy with it. It only took me two days, I know, I know, it's been more than two days since my last post, but it's up right?

Reviews

I was a little put out by the number of reviews I got last chapter, or lack there of. I really like reviews, they make me want to please people and get me to update faster, so please review, even if you hate it, you can tell me that.

I am sorry to say everyone was wrong in their guess as to the mystery person, that will become obvious this chapter. The person will not be revealed until the last chapter, no exceptions.

Chapter 5

The first day in Okinawa

"Haru-chan, Haru-chan!"

The young girl looked up from her book to the young senior. Hunny was currently balanced easily on the broad shoulders Mori as the tall man stood in the deeper waters of the beach, watching her as the famous Hitachiin twins splashed around them.

"Haru-chaaaaaan! Come play!" the boys plea was accompanied by fierce agreement from the twins as the paused in their game to coax the only female of the group into the warm waters.

With a sigh, Haruhi placed her open book face down on the warm sand near her feet, waving to the boys.

"I don't want to get wet!" she called to the boys, glancing inconspicuously to the man sitting a few feet to her right.

"But Haruhi! It's the beach, the whole point of it is to get wet!" This was from Tamaki, who was making his way down the sandy beach. Looking up to him, Haruhi was forced to smile a bit at the friendly playfullness in his eyes as he handed her a rapily melting vanilla ice cream cone. "Well, I'd rather sit here with my ice cream and my book, no point in getting wet sand all over me."

With a shrug, the boy waded into the water, pulling the twins along with Mori and Hunny into an all out splash war. Haruhi smiled, smoothing her yellow tankini down before reaching the discarded but not forgotten novel next to her.

Immersing herself in the words of the author, it would be hours before she was successfully pulled from the delightful mystery.

Kyouya frowned, glancing up from his own fascinating mystery novel to see the young woman just down the beach from him. It hadn't been a struggle for Tamaki and the twins to have her wear that bathingsuit, actually, it hadn't been their idea at all.

"Tamaki, get rid of this!"Kaoru shouted, flinging a hot pink string bikini at the Host Club President. The bikini was fallowed shortly by a purple one-piece, a red low-cut bikini, and another string bikini. Hikaru ran passed Tamaki, who was on his way out of the room with the pile of womens beach wear, in a hurried effort to organize the large amount of baby blue tankinis onto a clothes rack.

The three were frantic, alighting shocked looks from the three remaining male members of the Host Club who had been shoved together into one small corner of the room. They took no notice as the door to the hall was opened and Haruhi stepped through, freezing at the chaos of the room.

Kyouya could only stare; she looked adorable in the yellow tankini adorned with blue daisies along the seams. Nestled between her slight breasts was a small, real daisy attached with a golden pin to the front of her top.

"Haru-chan looks pretty!" was the first word spoken to the girl, as Hunny flung himself across the room and into her waiting arms. All activity from the Host Clubs odd members stopped as they stared at the woman in the doorway.

"Beautiful!"

"Exquisite!"

"Far beyond the talents of Hikaru and Kaoru!" Tamaki stepped up to the girl, fingering the strap of her bathing suit top. "Haruhi, where did you find such a magnificent creation? It looks so lovely on you."

The girl blushed, looking down self-consciously "Umm, it was on sale at Bathing Wear Plus, father convinced me to buy it. You really think it looks nice?"

"You look wonderful Haruhi." The group looked oddly not at Tamaki, but at Kyouya, who had moved foreword to join hiss fellow Host Club members. The stares were broken by the brilliant smile coming from Haruhi as she glowed with happiness at the compliment from the Ootori heir...

The boy started from his memory of that morning as his pocket tried to contact him. With a sigh Kyouya pulled his cell from the afore mentioned pocket and flipped the device open. "Hello?"

"Hey little brother!" He perked up immediately, setting his book aside in an action mirroring Haruhi's from before.

"Fuyumi? To what do I owe the pleasure of your call?"

"Oh little brother, your so funny when you try to pretend that you're not excited to hear from me. Anyways, I'm on a shopping trip in Okinawa while Shido is away and I decided that I should hang out with my little brother and his friends. So I've sent Ginei out to pick you all up from the beach and take you to meet me at the mall. See you soon!"

"Fuyumi, I…"click. He closed his phone again with a sigh, his sister could never understand why someone wouldn't want to go shopping.

"Your sister?" Kyouya looked up to see Haruhi watching him from her towel. "he he, sorry, I have a slight eavesdropping problem…"

"No, it's alright. Yeah, that was she." He hesitated; "Actually, she wants us all to go shopping with her, she's sent Ginei to pick us up here."

She smiled, closing her book and standing up.

"Better call the boys in then, huh?" She didn't wait for his response as she took the few steps to the water. "Guys, c'mon, we're leaving! Fuyumi has invited us to go shopping with her!" At their affirmative nods she turned back to pick up her towel.

"You want to come?"

"Of course, I'm in Okinawa." as if that explained anything, he glared.

giggle

"I have to look, even if I can't afford to buy. I may look like a boy, but I still love shopping, ya know."

Makes sense. Okay, he could except that, but the moment ended as Tamaki and Hunny bounded up on either side of Haruhi, embracing the girl in an enthusiastic – and salty – hug.

"Augh! I'm wet!" but the exclamation was discarded at the broad smile on her face as she broke from the attack to pick up her book. "C'mon." She said as the remaining three came up. "Ginei is on his way, lets get ready to leave."

It was then that a car horn could be heard from the parking lot.

"Race you!"

And they were off, Mori and Hunny taking the lead with Haruhi and the twins following a ways behind and Tamaki, who had tripped just after starting, taking third place while Kyouya brought up the lead with a slow walk. Haruhi has a very interesting playful side. I'm glad we decided on this trip.

"Get lost on way, Kyouya?" The VP could shake his head at Hikaru and Kaoru's taunt as he slid into the car next to Haruhi, who grinned at him.

"Little brother!" A waving Fuyumi made her way to them from the front of the building as they exited the car and Ginei drove off. "Oh it's so good to see you again!" flinging her arms around Kyouya's neck, the older girl winked at Haruhi from over the man's shoulder.

Freeing her brother from her embrace, she moved to Haruhi. "Haruhi, how are you, you look adorable, yellow and blue are definitely your colors!" Haruhi blushed; she had taken the time in the limo to slip a blue mini skirt on over her bathing suit and had put her blue flip-flops back on her feet.

"C'mon, let's go shopping. Don't worry about cost dear; it's all on me. So tell me, how has school been, anything interesting happen? How's your father, working hard I assume…"

In the shade of a tree, a lone man sat in the driver's seat of a nearby car. His beady, black eyes were trained solely on one girl being pulled into the mall doors. One girl wearing a yellow bathing suit and blue mini skirt.

"Soon my little flower, soon we will no longer have to hide our love."

AN So now you see, it's not Tamaki or Kyouya.

Anyways, Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it, if not, Happy Spring. I hope you liked this chapter and I hope I get the next one out soon, Unfortunately my Grandma's in the hospital and I've got a full week of Spring Break filled with parties, so I don't expect to really get started in the next few days, maybe longer if My grandma's condition worsens.

So best wishes and please review!
