new chapter 6! please review!

Disclaimer: I do not own OHSHC

I woke the next morning to where the birds were chirping and the sky was still dark with night.

I got up and put on a gray sun dress and a pair of black flip flops. I worked my way outside and took a walk on the beach.

The sky was a mix of red and purple then a dark blue and black by the sea. I ran back to the house. I needed to see if Kyouya's house had any paints.

I ran into the house jumping over everyone's shoes while kicking off mine. I ran down the main hall and stopped in front of Kyouya's door.

I pounded on the door then entered eyes squeezed shut. "Kyouya? Are you awake."

"I am now. What do you want?" I knew Kyouya wasn't a morning person and I knew that he was probably up late dealing with Tamaki.

"Do you have any paints in the house? Canvas too?" I looked up to him and let my eyes fall to his toned chest and then his smokey eyes.

"Four rooms down on the left." He laid back down and flipped the covers over his head, "Thank you, Kyouya." I shut the door and covered my face as I ran down the hall.

I open the door and the view of the beach was clear through large thin windows. In the corner was a large amount of white pulling canvas and a set of easels. A hook was placed by the door and three white aprons were hanging from the golden crescent rings. I took one and tied it around my waist and ducked my head under the strap. I breathed out when I saw a large desk with paints. Any color you could imagine was here or had the materials to make that color.

I grabbed six bottles of paint; red, blue, yellow, brown, black, and white. I decide to leave the rest of the colors there for future fun. I grabbed a couple brushes and placed them in my apron pocket. I cut a large piece of canvas and grabbed a wooden square placing it over my head to carry then a staple gun. I looked over to the easel and decide I would go back for that. Easels are... kinda heavy, at least this one was.

I walked out of the room and down the hall. I passed by Mori who was stretching after his morning run.

He smiled to me and I smiled back, a tint of pink across my cheeks.

I stumbled to open the patio doors then walked out onto the deck. I placed the paint bottles down on the table and the canvas in a chair. I put the wooden square over the canvas so in wouldn't blow away then put down the gun.

I ran back inside for the easel and saw Mori carrying it down the hall for me.

I opened the door for him and told him where to put it. He sat down and watched me pull the canvas and put three staples on each side on the back.

I looked to Mori who kinda had that look of 'I'm impressed, but I wouldn't show it cause I'm a manly man' type of face.

I smiled, "I'm awesome, no?" He nodded and smiled. I went back to preparing for my painting session and I forgot a mixing plate.

"Mori, will you be a peach and get me a mixing plate. I swear I saw a couple in the room."

He nodded and got left. I shook the paints and placed the easel a little to the left, then to the right.

I felt arms wrap around me and I smiled turning to see Mori. I smiled and he did as well. He patted my head and handed me a couple mixing plates. I thanked him and he just nodded.

I poured some blue then white. Since the sun got higher the view wasn't exactly the same but close.

I put the brush on the canvas and started.

Mori had fallen asleep as I was painting. He stood streched and went inside after ruffeling my hair.

The brush found it's way to the canvas and I continued.

I ended up with my hair in a messy bun and paint all over my apron, and face.

"Bren-chan~!" Hunny came rushing outside and stopped to see me on the table looking at my first painting.

He jumped next to me, "Bren-chan will you make me breakfast?"

I looked up sighed and nodded.

He smiled and grabbed my hand. I put the painting back on the easel and I walked after him.

He sat down next to a stoic Mori, and a tired, grumpy Kyouya.

"Good morning gentlemen... and lady." I saw Haruhi walk up and sit down next to Kyouya.

I washed my hands while taking ideas for breakfast.

I heard three people at once giving ideas. I found one I liked, offered by Haruhi, French toast.

I smiled as Tamaki came rushing down the hallway and sat next to Haruhi. "I want some please." He somehow had gathered a fork and knife and a dinner cloth tied around his neck and was sitting up straight.

"Since you are at the table when we decide you shall get some Tamaki, K?" I smiled and opened the fridge for eggs.

I looked and looked but no eggs.

"Hey, guys." I looked out to the boys who were stairing at me, "Um... we have no eggs." They pointed up and I looked up to see Hikaru and Koaru standing behind the fridge on a stool.

I got a egg shower that morning.

I cracked my fingers and closed the fridge door. "I'll give you five seconds to run." I smirked, "...five..."

"Haha very funny Brenda." Hikaru went to pat my head but saw his mess, "...four..."

"Seriously? you counting down like a mother..." Karou mumbled under his breath, "...one..."

I stepped forward and grabbed their ears and dragged them outside.

"You two men are in a HOST CLUB and you treat a lady like this?" I smiled as I threw them outside, "I guess then you'll have to be treated like dogs."

I smirked and shut and locked the doors.

I walked back to the kitchen, "While they are still confused can you boys lock all the doors and windows." I turned and walked to my room to change. I stopped and turn to the boys, and Haruhi, "This is their punishment. If anyone lets them inside before I do... you'll be joining them."

I left and they scattered to lock the doors. I smiled... This is ganna be a good day.

I took a shower and put on some clean clothes. A blue v-neck shirt and a white vest with a white skirt. I slipped on a pair of blue knee-high socks and I grabbed some money Kyouya had given me for... if I needed anything that I didn't wish to discuss with Kyouya... like girly things.

I left a note on the island that read:

Guys... and Haruhi,

I went to the store down the road to get stuff for breakfast. Be back later!

~Brenda

PS- If anybody, that means ANYBODY lets the twins inside you'll... be punished... ^-^

I slipped on a pair of white flats and left the house. I walked down the road and made my way to the corner store for eggs, bread and something for lunch. I think I could make a hotdish of some kind.

When I got to the store I went up and down the aisles looking for eggs. I quickly grabbed some eggs and bread and got a pack of fresh strawberries then went to the front.

The clerk rang-up my items and I left the store.

I walked up to the house and opened the door only to find Tamaki ranting at the club about some old nonsense.

"Brenda had gone missing! My poor daughter has been abducted by some daughter snatching hoodlems!" I kicked off my shoes closed the door and walked in the open kitchen.

"Tamaki, shut up. I'm right here." I set down the food and started to put it away. Though I was turned away I saw his face in my head. He was paled then came rushing towards me arms wide open.

"MY DAUGHTER!" He wrapped his arms around me and nearly squeezed me to death.

"Tamaki... I-I... can't breathe!" He let go but still held am arm around my shoulder looking at the food I had gathered.

"What did you get Bren-chan?" I told Tamaki to sit down and held my tummy as I spoke, "I got stuff for breakfast... cause I knew no one would make it but me..."

I smiled as I got out a pan.

I smiled at the boy then changed the subject,"So, who wants breakfast?"

They all rasied there hands... even Mori and Kyouya. 'Too cute... WAIT! WHAT? Hunny I meant Hunny was too cute... I think...'

I wiped my forehead and told them to clean up. they left to there respective rooms then I made the meal.

After we ate I went back outside to check on my painting. The color exploded from the canvas and made a bouquet of different colored roses. In the middle of the mahem a single silver rose was placed in the middle of the page. The stem a dark gray and the petals bright and shiny.

It had dried and I started to move everything back into the painting room.

I gathered my paints and brushes then the gun and the painting. I came last for the easel and I propped it on my shoulder and half dragged it into the room.

I sat in the painting room for over an hour just thinking of what could happen to me when I return home.

I knew I couldn't stay with Kyouya forever... I had to go home-home sometime.

I miss my Minnesota. I miss my snow. I miss my dog. I miss my home.

I got up and walked down the hall to the kitchen.

I walked into the living room area and played Super Smash Bros. Brawl for a while. Then I started A Bug's Life. Awesome movie by the way.

Hunny and Mori joined me a little bit into it. Hunny beyond his best effort had fallen asleep. I almost did too until I felt Hunny lifted off my legs and a blanket covered my body as I lay flat on the couch.

I waited for Mori to come back in the living room as I used his chest a pillow. Thew couch was in an L shape so Mori laid down the long way, and I curled up in the short side and laid my head on his chest, as he wrapped an arm around me under my arm I let fall under my bust. He held my hand while I felt myself fall into a dreamless sleep.

Mori woke me roughly an hour later then went to go check on Hunny. I got up and felt the pain in my hand return, I ran to the kitchen. I let the cool water run over my hand and dropped my head to feel the pain melt away. I stopped hte water with a limp hand as I looked at the burnt skin of my left hand. The scar was permanent and would be tender for the rest of my life. I remember when Kyouya told me...

He said oh, so nicely that the burn was never going to fully heal. I jokingly said, "I guess my dreams as a hand model are crushed!" I smile as the rest of the club had looks of worry.

"Are you sure you ganna be ok?" Hunny came up to me almost scared.

"Yeah why? I mean it's just a little burn. Nothing to worry about. It's a memory." I smiled reassuring the club.

"If you say so..." Kyouya stood looking out into the distance. I go the feeling that he was hiding something but I pushed it out of my mind.

...I'll never really forget them now, even if I do go back home and never see them it's just like I said. A memory.

Like the silver roses...

My grandmother gave me a single sliver rose. It was made of pure silver and shined in the sunlight and always 'tinged' when you flicked the stem. It was made in the 18th century. It is simply beautiful...

It lay upon my dresser at home, waiting for my arrival, as well as my unmade bed. I smiled at the fact I had left my room a complete mess.

I wondered how my mother was doing without me... I should call her.

But I don't get how I'm here. It feels so right like I was meant to be in this world yet I have this nagging felling that I should go back before I screw something up.

Like falling in love... yeah that would be bad.

But I can't help what I feel.

Or can I?

I stopped my thoughts and moved to the fridge I needed to keep my mind busy. I pulled out a bunch of ingredients for some sweets.

By lunch I had made a double layer strawberry cake for Hunny, 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies for Haruhi, 12 spritz cookies for Kyouya, a gallon of homemade ice cream with chocolate swirls for the twins, and two dishes of creme brulet for Tamaki, I also found a bag of fermented soybeans for Mori. I felt silly making/finding all those treats for the group but I really needed to get my mind off things. And I like to bake...

I walked down the hall informing everyone of 'lunchtime' and ordered some pizza.

I sat down and watched as the group of young men and Haruhi, actually grub down on the food.

I ate and started to clean the dishes while the rest of the group ate. They were muttering and mumbling things to themselves.

When I finished with the dishes and the kitchen was clean Hunny got curious and saw the cake I had made him and all the other treats.

"Bren-chan did you make all these!" His eyes got wide and I pulled a Mori and nodded. The group gathered around the island and looked at the different cookies I made. I pulled out the ice cream and the brulet for the twins, who had been allowed to come inside now that they had a sunburn, and Tamaki.

They simply devoured the treats. I don't think that Kyouya even liked sweets but it looked like he loved those cookies. Even Mori enjoyed his natto. Tamaki was over-appreciative of his snack. He ate one then mauled me with hugs.

Hunny ate his lowly which was really surprising. He savored each bite and the twins nearly fainted when they tried my families homemade ice cream recipe. I have to say it's delicious.

I made my grandmothers chocolate chip cookies for Haruhi and she really liked them.

"Didn't you make anything for yourself Brenda?" Tamaki asked while finishing off his brulet.

"Nah, I didn't feel like sweets today. maybe I cold make something for tomorrow before we leave."

Kyouya looked over to me, "that's right I nearly forgot we were leaving tomorrow."

"Then let's play..."

"... games all night!" Hikaru and Kaoru exclaimed as they worked their way over to me. "Let's start with..."
