I felt the cold water hit my back and my soul slowly escape my body. I saw a flash of black and I was being held by some kind of dark angel. I closed my eyes letting him take me.

We resurfaced and he pulled me up in his arms. He walked to the shore and I opened my eyes to see Kyouya looking furious.

He set me down and I swayed before looking up to him. He grabbed my shoulders and spoke, "What do you think you were doing? You could have called for us. You against a boy? He was nearly twice your size."

I looked back down to my hand that was wrapped in soaked gauzes. "I didn't want Haruhi to get hurt. You didn't how she was being man-handled. I just acted off of impulse." I felt tears fall down my cheeks as Mori pulled off his shirt and wrap it around my shoulders.

Kyouya pulled up my chin, "Brenda… did he hurt you?'

"I'm fine Kyouya. I just need some sleep."

"No, come with me. "He grabbed my hand and tried to pull me to the house but I ripped it from his grip and just stood there.

"I said I'm fine." He walked off and I just stood looking after him. I held my head and walked to the house slighly swaying while walking up the sand hill. I stumbled a bit but I could feel Mori behind me, when I looked low and behold there he was.

"Can you help me to my room, Mori-senpai?" He nodded and picked me up bridal style.

I got to the door of my room and Mori let me go, I stood against the door and waiting for Mori to walk away. I slowy slid down the wood behind me. I turned and sat in the hall leaning agaist my bedroom door. I wrapped Mori's shirt closer to me covering my bruised torso.

I closed my eyes and let myself fall asleep.

Kyouya's POV

"I shouldn't have yelled at her like that." I paced in my room talking to myself.

"I mean come on Kyouya! What the hell were you thinking yelling at her like that!" I flopped on my bed and cleaned off my glasses.

I continued to yell at myself until I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in!" I screamed to the person behind the door.

Tamaki came in and said, "Dinner is ready." He left the room and I followed making sure I was at least 20 yards behind him.

Mori's POV

Mistukuni and I were on our way to get Brenda for dinner when we saw her curled up on the floor in front of her bedroom.

"Bren-chan?" Misukuni shuddered and ran up to her. I walked behind him and picked her up. She still had my shirt on that I gave her outside; though when I picked her up the shirt revealed a large bruise across her torso. Mistukuni opened the door and I laid her down on her bed. her hair was still wet and she smelt of saltwater.

Mistukuni got up in the bed with her and shook her shoulders, when I told him to stop her eyes opend and she tried to sit up but she winced and laid back down.

"Brenda, your torso is badly bruised you have to stay in bed for a while."

"I've had worst, I'm okay I promise." She rolled over and got out of the bed grabbed her bag and went in the bathroom.

After a while she came out looking refreshed but I could see in her eyes that she was in pain. She wore a pair of jeans and a band t-shirt.

"Hey, let's pretend we didn't see that K?" she tried to smile, "let's go eat hmm?"

Mistukuni nodded and grabbed her hand and walked out of the room. I followed just waiting and watching intently.

Brenda's POV

I looked around the table and saw Tamaki sitting by Haruhi talking about some nonsense that a father should be feeding his precious young daughter and the twins bickering about some new fashion in London and Hunny eating slowly , Mori watching him with a fierce gase. And Kyouya oh, Kyouya his glasses shimmered hiding his eyes and his plate empty for he had eaten quickly and was only waiting for someone, other than me of course, to engage him in some sort of conversation.

I looked at my plate being the hundreth time tonight staring at the freashly cooked crab before me. I sighed and pushed my plate away. "I'm going to bed it seems I don't have much of an appitite this evening." I stood and walked out of the dining room and walked to my room, alone. I started to hear the rain slowly come to a small episode of thunder. Entering my room I rummiged through my bag and pulled out a long sleeve shirt. I pulled off my short sleeved band-T and put on the long sleeve then replaceing my band-T back on.

I walk out of my room and down the hall to the glass doors opening into the beach below. I slip through the door and walk down to the beach soaked to the bone before I even hit the shore line. I sat in the cold wet sand and set free all my frustrations through the only way I knew.

I cried. My tears mixed with the cold rain and they streaked my face. I wiped them away but the rain replaced them so easliy. I leaned back letting my hair and body get covered in sand. I closed my eyes so the rain wouldn't get in them and I pushed my feet out into the cold waters of the ocean.

I heard the thunder and lightening blast through the sky. I remembered how my mother helped me get through the storms.

Flashback

I let my tears run free as the lightening struck the heavens. I cried out when I felt the rumble of the thunder crash against the clouds.

"It's alright..." My mother wrapped her arms around my child frame and held me tight,"..Do you know how I got through the storms when I was little?" I shook my head still afraid.

"I though of it as the angels playing a good game of bowling..." She smiled to me and wiped her thin brown hair from her face,"...See when the bowling ball runs down the lane it's the thunder and when the ball crashes against the white pins it makes the fall down onto Earth, or the lightening."

I wiped my tears away and snuggled into her arms listening to the angels play a game of bowling.

End flashback

I let myself fall back into the world and I reached my hands up in the air trying to touch the dark rain clouds.

I felt a something above me so I sat up and turned my body around grabbing my stomach in the process. I slowly look up to see... *sigh* Kyouya.

"What the hell are you doing out here?" I sneered and stood, still holding my stomach.

"It's my beach house. I can go where ever I want to." he snickered back stepping forward.

"Well, isn't that fine and dandy then... I'll be leaving now. Goodbye Kyouya." I tried to step around him but he grabbed onto my arm and spun me around holding me close.

"I need to talk with you," lightening struck hard at the sand and his glasses shined bright, "I'm sorry about this afternoon. I was really harsh on you." he looked down and rubbed his neck, like a little boy apologizing for taking his sister's diary or something.

I walked into his chest and wrapped my arms loosing around his body,"It's alright," I looked up at him and smiled my smile and kissed his cheek before letting go and walking back to the house.

Mori's POV

I was sent by Mistukuni to find Brenda so they could play. I looked in her room, the library, and the small music room. Nothing.

I walked past the glass door leading outside and saw that one was slightly open. I moved to shut it and saw her walk away from Kyouya with a smile on her face.

I waited for her to get to the door and closed it behind her. "Mitsukuni wants to play."

"Well let's not keep him waiting!" I knew at this moment when she smiled at me, with her beautiful eyes, that she would be mine.
