Author's Note.
Hi! So, this chapter is based on the episode 'Jungle Pool SOS' it's one of my favorites from the anime. I hope you all enjoy it.!
"So, what you're saying is, you've kidnapped Haruhi and I for a vacation?" I asked Tamaki raising an eyebrow.
"I wouldn't call it kidnapping. Trust me though, you'll enjoy it. We've even packed you a bathing suit to ensure that." My face dropped. A bathing suit? No. I wouldn't be caught dead like that. Where are we even going?
"Right. Well, when will we be there?"
"Why silly, we're already here." Tamaki smiled as the limousine door opened. Blue skies and sunshine was the first thing that caught my eyes. Wait a minute. Is that a tucan? Last time I checked Japan isn't exactly the tropics.
"Where are we?" I asked following him to another limousine.
"We're at a new theme park my family runs. It's a tropical aqua garden, mostly for therapeutic purposes only. We've been granted early access and are the first ones to ever use the park." I jumped as Kyoya came from behind me. "Sorry to startle you." Yeah no problem.
"It'll be a nice vacation for all of us!" One of the twins ran up from the other limousine with a grin.
"Yeah, a great relaxation get away." The other exclaimed with the same exact smile.
"Now here! Go change!" They both shouted in unison as they pushed a bikini towards me. I started shaking my head no, throwing my hands up in defense.
"No, really. I don't think i'm going to get in the water. I'm fine with what i'm wearing honestly." I explained to them.
"Are you sure Say-chan?" Honey said with confusion in his eyes. "You're wearing long sleeves and pants. It must be getting hot. We wouldn't want you passing out over a heat stroke. That would not be good. Would it Takashi?" He leaned his head upwards to his companion. Mori simply shook his head no with a disapproving stare.
"It's okay. It isn't that hot." I said as sweat dripped from my forehead.
"Whatever you say, but if you get to hot or decide you want to go swimming, don't forget we have a change of clothes for you!" The twins said throwing up peace signs and walking away. It was kind of hot, but that didn't mean anything.
As I strolled around the edge of the wave pool I started to notice how nice of a place this really was. It had a really pleasant tropical feel. Almost as if we really were in the tropics. I find it really surprising at how well this was pulled off. I watched as Tamaki was fussing over something about Haruhi walking around half naked? I really should quit eavesdropping on his conversations. They're never any good.
"Mind if I walk with you for a while Sayuri?" Kyoya questioned from behind me. Dammit, quit doing that. I slowed down for him to catch up and nodded.
"Of course Kyoya-senpai." I smiled at him. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Your family's company did a magnificent job on the theme park. It's really believable." I complimented.
"I suppose. Japan doesn't exactly have tropics at every turn, and it isn't like Haruhi has a pass port so this was the next best thing." He said as he shoved a hand in his pocket.
"Yeah. It's still nice." I looked around at the palm trees and colorful birds flying aorund.
"Now, I must ask the question. Why are you still wearing that shirt? I know you went through the bag we packed you when you got out your sunglasses, which means you know there is a practical t-shirt for you. For some reason though, you still choose to wear something that's making noticeably sweat." Kyoya stopped and looked me directly in the eye. He sure does notice everything, doesn't he?
"It's really not that hot, there's a nice breeze. If I really felt like I needed to change, I would senpai. Promise." I told him. He gave me a shadowy stare before Tamaki's shouting interrupted probably everyone.
"Gentlemen! We will look for Honey-senpai! That pool looks like the quickest way!" Tamaki announced. Wait, what was happening?
"That idiot." Kyoya mumbled and turned entirely around. "Wait! I wouldn't go-" Before he finished the entire group ran back our way. "Come on." Kyoya grabbed my arm and ushered me over to the rest of them.
"Okay! Then we'll try this way!" Tamaki shouted again before wailing in fright. I looked to see what he was pointing at. Alligators? Fucking Alligators?
"Kyoya-senpai. Why is this place infested with um, alligators?" I asked him. He was propped up against a tree writing in his notebook.
" Those alligators belong to the park's tropical animals exhibit.
I guess it is kind of dangerous to let them run wild. Though, the cause of our present situation seems to be the location of the switch for the current pool. I'll have to have a little chat with our designers. Thanks a lot, you guys. I got some great data today." Kyoya explained to all of us.
"You what?!" We all surprisingly yelled in unison. Again, what is this? An anime?
"This is a map of the Tropical Aqua Garden. This is our current location. We need to get here. I have a feeling that's where Honey senpai probably ended up. It might be tough because to get there, we'll have to make it through this jungle area, here in the southern block. Distance wise we're talking about 800 meters." Kyoya continued on as we walked further into the theme park. This guy is crazy. Alligators, and now we're expected to explore unknown areas of this thing.
"Looks like there are a lot of undeveloped areas. Any idea what might be lurking in those parts of the jungle?" Haruhi asked smartly. There shouldn't be anything, what the fuck? This is supposed to be a theme park, not the jungle.
"Since they're still being developed, I'm afraid I don't know." Kyoya responded. Oh just great. Kyoya know-it-all Ootori doesn't even know what all is in HIS family's theme park. I swear if I die i'm suing his ass.
"All right! Now, this is a mission of survival! I know we can make it through the treacherous jungle in one piece. It is our sworn duty to save Honey senpai!" Tamaki shouted at all of us. He really was crazy. This is not an anime, you can't just go into a life threatening situation and expect to be okay.
"You know Sayuri, if you didn't want to come I could have led you back to the limousines." Kyoya said as he walked beside me writing in his little notebook. I rolled my eyes.
"And what makes you think I didn't want to come?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Well, for the past five minutes, anytime you hear a noise coming from outside of our group you grab onto my sleeve. Your body language gives it away as well."
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
"You're on my left side. Your left shoulder should be facing outwards as though you were normally walking, instead it's facing inwards, towards me as if we were talking. It isn't exactly too late to go back you know?"
"Not happening. I'm fine." I smirked and walked ahead of him.
Kyoya P.O.V
Fine? She really was something else. I wonder how long she lasts. I noticed the sky getting darker and the low sound of thunder coming from a distance. Not for long I suppose.
"Um, Kyoya-senpai, what was that?" Sayuri asked me almost at the exact same time as Haruhi.
"Hm, I guess it's about time for the squall." I said looking down at my watch. We all huddled under a near-by gazebo for the time being. I started writing in my notebook but couldn't help but to over hear conversation.
"Hey, Mori-senpai, you seem to be really close to Honey-senpai." Haruhi said obviously sitting beside him.
"Yeah, were you two childhood friends or something?" Sayuri added in. Hm, they really didn't know anything about the members of the host club. Interesting.
"You mean you don't know.." Hikaru started
"That they're cousins?" Kaoru finished. I closed my notebook and turned around.
"The Morinozukas have been serving the Haninozuka family for generations." I added in.
"Yeah, but two generations ago, the families became relatives by marriage and the master-servant relationship soon became a thing of the past." Hikaru continued explaining the situation of the two families.
"But even so, Mori senpai has always made a point to accompany Honey senpai" Kaoru finally finished. I discontinued listening to the lot of them and continued on what I was doing before my phone started ringing.
"Hello, it's me. Well, we've had an incident that's caused some trouble." I explained over the phone.
Sayuri's P.O.V
Hm. So they're cousins, interesting. I looked over to see Kyoya on the phone with someone when I noticed Haruhi and Mori-senpai walking away. Where were they going? I shrugged my shoulders and quickly caught up. "Hey, what's up with you two walking away?" I asked Haruhi. She shrugged.
"Mori-senpai just started going, and I couldn't let him venture out here alone." She has a point.
"Well, i'm coming too!" I announced smiling at her.
"We better get moving!" I ran behind her to be completely stopped by a yellow back. Haruhi's back that is.
"Woah!" I yelled as I came face to face with a snake slithering towards us as we both laid on the ground.
"Haruhi, Sayuri." Mori said ahead of us. He silently placed me above him on top of his shoulders, and then scooped Haruhi up off of the ground into his arms and continued on.
Kyoya P.O.V
"My family's private police force is going to send in a search and rescue team to help us. They're better equipped to find Honey senpai than we are. So let's just go back to the gate and wait there." I said to the group. As I looked around I began to notice the lack of three of our members. "Hey, where are Mori, Haruhi and Sayuri?" I asked hoping someone might have seen them.
"Well boys, it looks like we're on the search for more than just Honey-senpai!" Tamaki pointed a finger towards the woods. "Off to find the rest of them!"
Sayuri P.O.V
As we made our way through the jungle looking for the tiny teen, the creatures seemed to disappear. This was actually starting to turn out nice, if only we could find Honey-senpai soon. Mori-senpai must be worried. In the distance, the sound of footsteps made Mori come to a complete halt. Before any of us could really grasp the situation several men, in armored suits swung down in front of us.
"Target confirmed." One of them said while aiming guns at us. What the actual heck? " You there! Put the boy down immediately! If you refuse, we'll remove him forcefully!" He continued on. I noticed Haruhi trying to move.
"Hold on." She said. I let go of Mori and put my hands up in defense. One of the men grabbed Haruhi's arm but before he could do anything else he was sent flying backwards.
"Takashi, Haru-chan, Say-Chan, out of the way!" I heard a familiar little voice yell. I looked up and saw Honey-senpai swinging down from a vine. He nailed one of the men in the face and landed almost perfectly. Nice. I watched as the pint sized teenager took out a whole army of men. "You guys should be more careful who you mess with. Picking on my friends is bad. Got it?" He said glaring down at all of the injured men. I climbed down from Mori's shoulders with wide eyes. Did that really just happen?
"Haruhi! Sayuri! Are you alright?" Tamaki yelled running towards us with the other three boy's trailing behind. The two of us were immediately engulfed with hugs from Tamaki. "Oh! You two! I was so worried!" He continued on with tears rushing down his face. He was so over dramatic.
"I'm not sure what happened here, but at least they're still alive." I heard Hikaru say.
"It's pretty amazing that this is Honey senpai's must have really been holding back." Kaoru seemed to agree.
"Wait what?" I asked the two of them breaking from Tamaki's embrace. Haruhi followed leaving Tamaki crying on the ground.
"You don't know about senpai? The Haninozukas are famous for their martial arts. Not only have they helped train the police and SDF forces but they've also worked with several overseas militaries." Hikaru explained for us.
"Honey senpai in particular has been called the dreadnought of the Haninozuka family. By the time he was in middle school, he'd become the national champion in both karate and judo." Kyoya added in. This was actually really interesting and explained a lot.
"Mori senpai's no slouch either. He won the national championship in kendo when he was just in middle school." Tamaki picked himself up off the ground and smiled towards us as if he wasn't just throwing a tantrum on the ground.
Kyoya P.O.V
I walked closer to Sayuri and put a hand on her shoulder. She jumped a little and turned around with a glare.
"It's not really nice to sneak up on people like that senpai." She said probably irritated. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Become more aware then." I told her. "Anyways, are you alright? I'm sure you are, but just double checking. You've been very jumpy ever since we started the search." She threw a hand behind her head and looked down.
"Yeah, i'm fine. Just surprised that this was all Honey-senpai." She admitted looking down at the men lying on the ground. I nodded.
"Yes, well, it is quite unfortunate. I'll have to give better instructions next time." I brought out my notebook and took a few notes.
"You know, maybe we should go to the beach next." Hikaru said loosely. I saw Sayuri rub her temple.
"Something wrong with the beach?" I asked her.
"Not really, i'm just tired of this warm weather."
"You could always change into a tshirt. It wouldn't hurt anyone." She shook her head and gave me a girly smile.
"Not happening Kyo-chan." Kyo-chan? Hm.
