Always Seen, Never Heard

-I know some of you are confused about the last chapter, I was just lazy and didn't feel like writing 2 weeks worth of time for the story… I tend to drag things on… a lot.

-Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I love you all!

-Sorry for thevery long wait I put you all through. My computer was having issues, then the actual sight, and I'm a procrastinator so, yeah. But I'm back! Enjoy!

Matsuki's POV

I. Do. Not. Want. To. Go. On. This. Boat. Trip. I scowled and he just chuckled his dark, Ootori laugh. It gave me chills. "Oh Matsuki-chan. I'm afraid I've just finished arranging things for the cruise. Can't back down now, can you?" I continues to scowl. This. Is. Not. Funny. You. Stupid. Curse my poor lack of words. "And if you keep frowning like that you'll get wrinkles." I hit him on the back of the head, to which he glared at me, but it shut him up at the least. Thank god.

~Chapter Three~

Matsuki's POV

I sighed as I followed my cousin to the 3rd Music Room. He always had to go to this stupid club after school. He wouldn't even call to send a limo to pick me up. It's like he enjoys seeing me suffer. Wait a minute… He probably does enjoy watching me suffer. Ah, a damned devil he is.

"Matsuki, remember that cruise we're going on in a month?" Kyouya asked me. I looked up at him with a frown, nodding my head yes. How could I not? I didn't even know I was in the drawings. "The ladies who were picked are spending the day with their host. The club is closed to all other girls." I crossed my arms and huffed. He went to explain further, but I held my hand up to stop him. I already knew what it meant… Spending the day with Takashi-senpai.

When we finally arrived at the 3rd Music Room, Tamaki was already babbling to his girl about all the fun games we're going to play today. Games? I didn't know kids his age still wanted to play games. I walked over to Takashi-senpai and waved a hello. He simply smiled back in return. We had to wait for the other girls to arrive, which took forever in my mind. I sort of have a short attention span. It developed over the years…

"Welcome, ladies, to the wonderful Host Club." Tamaki announced elegantly. I think all the girls present, except me of course, squealed. "We have a few fun activities planned for us today. Including commoner games taught by our Haruhi!" The blonde man said delightfully. I smiled in amusement. We would be playing outside. Hope these girls don't mind getting their hands dirty.

"Oh my gosh! That sounds like so much fun, Tamaki!" A girl, Victoria, said happily. I'm guessing she was designated to Tamaki. She was a bit on the taller side, dark hair with highlights and pretty eyes. She also seemed like a total fan girl.

It wasn't long before the girl next to Haruhi kicked in. "I'm sure Haruhi-kun knows hundred's of commoners games! It'll be fun." She squealed. I recognized her. She was from my class. Her name was Kimoko, I didn't like her very much. She always gave me an attitude in class for no reason. She had short, light brown hair, dark blue eyes, and her height wasn't that bad. She thinks she has it all.

"Alright everyone!" Tamaki announced, clapping his hands together to get our attention. "I think it's time we went outside. Haruhi said we're going to play Hide and Seek!"

And so, we followed the 'king' out to the school's courtyard. It was huge. There were so many trees, fountains, flowers; it was pretty. It took Haruhi 15 minutes to get everyone to understand the game. She looked pretty annoyed afterwards.

"Hikaru, Kaoru! You're team has 3 people! You shall count first." The Frenchman demanded, pointing a long finger in their faces. The twins were about to retaliate when their girl whispered in both of their ears. I didn't like the smirk that appeared on all of their faces. I heard this girl, Isamu, goes to the Black Magic Club when she's not visiting the Host Club. Her long, dark brown hair was strangely curly, and her eyes were a deep purple.

"Alright boss. We'll count." The twins said in unison. Isamu laughed, a bit darkly in my opinion.

I looked up at Takashi, hoping he'll get the mental message I was sending him. I was new to this school, and this courtyard. I was going to have to count on him to find a hiding spot for us. He looked at me and nodded. I smiled slightly. He's pretty big, and I'm pretty small. Hopefully that won't cause too many problems.

"One… Two…" Isamu started for us. Since that was a cue, all the teams took off in all different directions. All hosts with their respective girls, is what I mean by teams. I had a hard time keeping up with Takashi. He had long, fast legs. Meanwhile, mine were short and probably the farthest thing from muscular. I hate my parents for keeping me inside all day just so different tutors could try and make me utter a word. Sometimes they didn't even show up at all.

My senior turned around and looked back at me, a small but amused smile playing on his lips. He walked back to me and knelt down, his back facing towards me. "Get on." He said. I walked over a bit hesitantly and wrapped my arms loosely around his neck. He then stood up and hooked his arms under my legs and took off at top speed again. Thank God I decided to wear shorts today. A skirt would've been too embarrassing in this situation.

Takashi stopped running and put me down when we came to fountain, it was surrounded by many walkways, a bench and trees. It was pretty close to the school building. I watched as my partner scratched the back of his head in thought. I think he was wondering why he came here also. We both looked around for a minute. My sharp eyes caught nowhere useful to hide. My senior sighed.

My head snapped up when I heard 3 pairs of voices coming dangerously close. They were seeking already? Either that or they were cheating… They were probably cheating, but hey, you never know.

All of sudden a light bulb went off in my head. I looked up at Takashi, then at the fountain. He seemed to get my idea, because he raised his eyebrows. "No, Matsuki-chan." I huffed and shook my head yes, insisting him to go along. He just gave me a hard look. I am rich, but I don't mind getting dirty or wet like most of these kids would. I could see orange and brown over the hedges. I took in a deep breath, sent one last look to my senior, then jumped in the fountain. I put my hands under the small overhang at the edges to hold myself under. Just as I thought I thought my lungs were going to explode, I was lifted from my spot in the water.

I looked up to see Takashi, smiling and wet. I smiled in triumph at him. I finally got him to do something! It felt nice.

Takashi's POV

I looked down at the grinning girl in my arms and put her on the floor. "Hikaru, Kaoru, and Isamu are all planning on leaving, that's why they came this way." I say. Matsuki promptly frowns and crosses her arms. I had heard the three of them talking about it before I jumped into the fountain after my junior. "We have to look for everyone. It wouldn't be right if we just left." The small girl turned and started walking back the way we came, her arms still crossed.

"It's just a game…" I say, catching up to her. She looked at up me, her eyes seem to say 'That's not the point.' I sigh and shake my head. It really is just a game. I don't get why she was upset about it. The only one who would be remotely upset would be Tamaki, because he is obsessed with this kind of stuff. Maybe it's something personal…

Matsuki abruptly stopped, causing me to bang into her. I should pay attention more, then careless things like this wouldn't happen. My junior turned another direction and pointed to a tree. I shaded my eyes from the sun and looked up. To my surprise it was my cousin, Mitsukuni, and his designated girl, Bachiko. They were whispering. How in the world had Matsuki even heard them when I didn't?

I climbed up into the tree and explained everything to the pair. Who frowned, then happily announced that they would go get Haruhi and Kimiko since they knew where they were. I nodded, giving them my permission. I watch as my cousin and the happy blonde girl walked away. Bachiko is a nice, happy girl with blue eyes and curly blonde hair. She seemed to keep my cousin happy and entertained, which was good.

Matsuki and I both jumped when we heard a loud, but short scream. We both took off to the source. When we arrived we saw an annoyed Kyouya and the anxious girl with him. I think her name is Kureijīko. He was holding Kyouya's glasses, which were in two pieces in her hands. "What happened?" I ask, giving the pair an odd look.

"Well," The girl started. "I was examining this stick, you know, in our hiding spot. And then I discovered that it had a spider on it. I decided to throw the now hideous stick away from me, but I forgot Kyouya was there! And his glasses broke!" Now that I get a better look at the boy, he did have a red line going across his face. The tall girl heaved a sigh and stood up. I then explained what happened on our side to them, and we walked back to the room together. Matsuki pouting, Kureijīko sighing, Kyouya angrily calculating something in his head.

All I can say is the twins will not be very happy twins when we get back. I can only pray the Demon Lord will spare them at least somewhat.
