Author's Note.
Hey! So, this chapter has taken me the longest to do. I've been so iffy and i've second guessed myself on the entire thing basically. I really really hope you enjoy it though.
"Kyo-chan, what is it with them talking about the beach? Are we actually going, or is it another imaginative trip they've come up with?" I asked the older boy on my left.
"No, it's 100% authentic. We'll be vacationing at my families private beach in Okinawa." He responded easily. Private beach? Really? Why do you need a private beach?
"Nice. When?"
"Tomorrow. Does Tamaki never tell you anything anymore?" He asked. He seemed a little bothered.
"Of course I try to Kyoya! But she's always too busy to talk to me anymore. It's always either you or Haruhi she's with. It's not fair! I was friends with her first!" Tamaki deflated his entire body on to the floor.
"Sorry Tama, I've only been doing what you wanted me to do. Be more friendly, remember? How am I supposed to do that when you're my only friend." I explained trying to make him feel a little better.
"Maybe we should.." Kaoru started as he creeped up behind my left shoulder
"Find Sayuri and bathing suit too." Hikaru finished with a smirk as he creeped behind my right shoulder.
"Since it is obvious Kyoya-Senpai totally has a thing for her now!" They said together smiling. Blush marks covered my face. Kyoya said absolutely nothing. Thanks man. You're really solid.
"I don't think I want to swim." I tried defending myself among the many mannequins of bathing suits for Haruhi.
"Oh come on. I'm sure Kyoya would love to see you in something cute and small." One of the twins narrowed in front of me as I was backing up.
"Yeah, small and plenty of-"
"If she said she didn't want to swim she doesn't want to swim guys. You can't just pressure someone into doing something that clearly makes them uncomfortable." Haruhi stepped in. I really couldn't help but cheese towards her.
"Whatever." Hikaru said.
"Yeah, you guys are no fun." Kaoru added on.
"You know, they make fun of Tamaki for being a pervert but I don't think they've ever met themselves sometimes." Haruhi laughed. You are so right.
"It's really pretty here Kyoya, i'm actually really excited about it all." I said looking at the beach.
"Yes, well, if you actually swam it would probably make the experience much better wouldn't it?" Kyoya mocked me. Ass hat.
"Knock it off. I've already told you, i'm fine wearing what i'm wearing."
"And I never said you weren't. I just want to know why."
"Quit." I snapped. I saw Kyoya roll his eyes and focus back on his notebook.
"Hey Sayuri, want to go on a walk to get some fresh air?" One of the girls asked me. Hm, that sounds nice. It's getting pretty hot just sitting here.
"I'd love to!" I accepted and stood up following the small group of girls.
"So, Sayuri, is it true you and Tamaki used to be best friends?" The girl with light brown hair asked me. I didn't even bother to get their names.
"Yeah. We grew up together in France. Then we both moved, and obviously grew apart, but it's really nice being back around him." I admitted with a smile.
"Girls! Look! Let's go up there, the breeze must be magnificent!" A short girl with pigtails exclaimed from ahead of us. We all followed her up the cliff. She was more than right, the breeze was amazing up here. It felt almost as if I were flying. "Hey, it's Haruhi!" The same girl shouted looking down from the top of the cliff. I couldn't make out what Haruhi had said back up to us, but I did notice the two boys making their way up towards us.
"Hey, I think it's time we leave girls." I said trying to grab their attention before it was too late.
"You ladies wanna hang with a couple of locals?" One of the men asked grabbing hold of one of the girls wrists.
"No thanks, please just leave us alone." She responded jerking her wrist back in a shaky manor. He quickly grabbed it back and snickered.
"Oh come on, we just want to show you all how to have a good time." The other said coming closer towards me.
"Look, we don't want any trouble. This is a private beach, you should really just leave." I warned them. None of the host club were going to be too happy.
"Yeah, why don't you just leave them alone." Haruhi came from behind them and threw what looked like sea shells.
"Oh you little runt!" The other guy walked towards him. I saw one of the girls bolt down the cliff. Please be getting help and not just running away.
Kyoya P.O.V
"Guys! It's Haruhi and Sayuri!" One of our guests came running towards all of us. "Their are men on the cliff, and they're doing nothing but causing trouble. I think they might be in danger." She finished with tears rolling down her face.
"Stay here mademoiselle, we'll be back in a moment." Tamaki said while kissing her hand. I knew on the inside he was freaking out. We all rushed to the cliff at which the girl had been pointing at to see Haruhi being held up by the collar and Sayuri arguing with the two men. Just back off Sayuri, you're going to get yourself hurt.
"Please stop!" I heard one of the girls squeal to be followed by Sayuri retorting off.
"Look, can you get your head out of your ass and go away." Please stop.
"Oh, look at what we have here. A brave little girl, won't be so brave when i'm through with you." We ran up on one of the men grabbing Sayuri as the other threw Haruhi off the cliff. I saw Tamaki dart by and head of the cliff for Haruhi. I took a deep breath and pushed my glasses up while I faced the other man.
"You have three seconds to unhand her. If you don't comply willingly, i'll make you do it forcefully." I glared at him.
"No need!" Hikaru yelled.
"We already have him!" Kaoru accompanied as the two of them jumped on top of both men. I grabbed Sayuri by the arm and brought her towards me.
"Kyo!" She said as if she was excited to see me. She wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face into my chest. I returned the embrace and rested my chin on the top of her head. Thank god you're okay.
"How do you feel?" I asked her as I pulled away. She shrugged and looked down.
"Violated." Was all she mumbled. I frowned and looked at the intruders. Bastards.
"Honey-senpai, Mori-senpai, mind walking her down and meeting Tamaki? We'll be down in a bit." I turned Sayuri around to face the two hosts.
"No problem Kyo-chan!" Honey exclaimed bouncing up and down. "Let's get away from those punks Say-chan, they're nothing but bullies."
Sayuri P.O.V
Did that all really happen? I could've been raped. They still had no right to try and pull that on us, but none the less, it was scary.
"Are you alright Sayuri?" Mori questioned looking down at me. I smiled up at him.
"As well as I can be considering the situation." I tried sounding as ecstatic as possible but i'm sure it sounded so fake. I looked to the water and watched Tamaki carry Haruhi out the water. She's the one you all need to worry about.
"Where'd they go?" Was the first thing out of Tamaki's mouth.
"We took their ID cards and respectfully asked them to leave. The girls all went back to the hotel and I called a doctor. He should be arriving here any minute now." Kyoya said coming from behind with the twins trailing along in the back.
"Thank you. They both need to be checked out." Tamaki looked between the both of us.
"I'm fine guys, I don't need a doctor." Haruhi mumbled. I nodded my head in agreement.
"Me either."
"What were you two thinking? You know, neither of you are like Honey senpai. You're not a martial arts master. Why did you confront them Haruhi? What made you think you would stand a chance? You against two boys?" He said directing that last part towards Haruhi. "And you aren't any better. You just taunted them. You could've been seriously injured." Tamaki looked at me with a disapproving look a father would give a daughter.
"But it doesn't matter that they're boys and I'm a girl. I was there. I had to do something. There wasn't any time to think..." Haruhi started off.
"That's no excuse you idiot. Don't forget, you're a girl." He spat back at her. He was really being harsh.
"Tamaki. There wasn't anything we could really do. There's no telling what those guys could've done had Haruhi not stepped in, and did you even see the way that man was holding the girl? If I hadn't said something she would've been scarred for life." I tried helping Haruhi. I could already tell we wouldn't win this battle. As my eyes drifted from host to host, they all looked very disappointed.
"Look, I'm sorry you had to come and save me, senpai. But I don't understand why you're so mad at me right now. I don't think I did anything wrong." Haruhi continued on with her battle against Tamaki.
"You don't think so? Fine, whatever you say. But I'm not speaking to you until you can admit that you were wrong!" Harsh.
"Hey guys, I think i'm gonna pass on dinner tonight. My head really hurts, and i'm just gonna go lay down." I announced to the table of hosts.
"Okay Say-chan! If you aren't feeling any better in a few hours we'll get you some get better medicine!" Honey smiled and gave me a warm hug.
"Don't worry about me. It's probably just a head ache. See you all in the morning!" I bid the boys good-bye and made my way to my room. I walked into my room and dressed into my pajamas. Maybe i'd actually get some peace and quiet for once. As if I thought to soon, there was a knock on my door.
"Sayuri, hey, I brought you some water." I heard Kaoru say from the other side of the door.
"Come in." I chirped from across the room. The ginger pranced in with a tray of ice and a glass filled to the brim with water.
"I thought having something to drink might help." He said blushing and putting a hand behind his head.
"Thank you! It really means a lot to me." I really did appreciate it, but I know he's in here for something other than just this.
"So Say-chan.." There it goes "We were all really worried about you today. Even if you don't want to admit it, you could've gotten really hurt and it would have really sent all of us into a panic. Even Kyoya and Mori." He said sitting on the bed. "We all really care about you. I hope you know that."
"Yeah, I know. It was all just so fast, it was spur of the moment kind of thing, ya know?" I tilted my head and laughed a little bit.
"Yeah. I guess. You should still take better care of yourself Sayuri." Kaoru stood up and walked to the door. "Sleep well." He opened the door and closed it right behind him. Care about me? None of them have any reason to. I'm leaving again soon and they'll all continue on with their lives. I hardly had five minutes to myself when there was another knock at the door. I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Come in." I said to the stranger behind the door.
"It's just me." Kyoya announced. He was shirtless with nothing but a towel wrapped around his shoulders. I looked away because I know my cheeks were pink as they could be. "Is something the matter?" He asked walking closer to me and sitting in front of me on the bed. I shook my head and he smirked. "Good, because it's time to talk." His face dropped and he crossed his legs Indian style and face me completely.
"Huh?"
"Take off your hoodie." Kyoya ordered. Perv.
"Why?"
"Because i'm not dense Sayuri. I know your secret so there's no point in hiding it anymore." It sounded as though he was talking daggers at me.
"I don't have a secret."
"Then why not take off your hoodie?" He retorted.
"I'm cold." I replied sharply
"Fair enough. Roll your sleeves up." Kyoya demanded
"No."
"You might as well give it up. There is no point in hiding it anymore." He glared at me
"I'm not hiding anything. Go away."
"Why? Because going away makes things better doesn't it?" The sarcasm dripped from his voice like a broken tea pitcher.
"Stop. Why are you even in here?" Just go away.
"You know why. I'm here to help you." Why won't he just leave me alone?
"You aren't doing anything but annoying me."
"Why won't you roll your sleeves up?" Because i'm embarrassed
"I don't want to."
"Look Sayuri. We can do this all night. I'm not leaving this room and neither are you until we talk about this." He explained to me. "Either you're going to let me help you and be here for you, or I can hire people to help you."
"I don't need help Kyoya." Probably do, but not from you.
"Yes you do. Now, tell me, why do you do it?" He asked
"Do what?"Stop playing stupid. He already knows.
"So this is how we're going to handle this. Alright, sounds like a plan." Kyoya rolled his eyes and grabbed my arm pulling me closer to him.
"What're you doing?" I practically yelled at him. He pushed up my sleeved and traced up and down my wrist. Please just let me go.
"Are you done acting like you have no idea what i'm talking about, or are we going to continue to go back and forth while you're in denial?"
"Just leave me alone!" I pulled away from him and tears started forming in my eyes.
"Why? Because that's what you're used to isn't it? You're used to moving away after a few months and leaving everyone you've met right?" Yes. "Now answer my question, why are you still doing it?" Still doing it?
"You've already answered you're own question." I mumbled. His eyes widened as if he had just found out he won the lottery.
"You think you're going to leave and we'll forget about you." I nodded my head at his response. He rubbed the back of his neck, sighed and relaxed onto the bed post. "We aren't going anywhere Sayuri."
"Speak for yourself. You aren't the first person to promise that." I scoffed at him and turned my back away.
"I won't leave." I felt his hand on my shoulder. "I promise. If you move a few hours away that won't stop me from seeing you. I'll be there all the time to take you out on errand runs, just like I already do. If you move across the globe, i'll still visit you at least once a month. Even if I don't see you every day, I swear i'll be your friend. We'll call and text, we'll make plans, you won't lose me. If, for some ungodly reason, the others choose to drop contact with you, I won't." He finished. I felt the bed lighten up behind me. I looked up to see Kyoya bent in front of me. His hair was covering his eyes and he wasn't wearing his glasses.
Why was he being so nice to me? I mean, he's never been rude to me but now he's taking it to another level. I've only known him for a few months, he had no reason to act like this towards me. We've only hung out a handful of times outside of school and the host club.
"I've never given you a reason to not trust me, have I?" He interrupted my thoughts with his question. I shook my head.
"No."
"Then please stop this. I care about your well being, and I know the others do too. You don't have to talk about it, because you've made it clear." Kyoya brushed his thumb across my cheek. I felt my face heat up meaning there were probably several pink streaks running across my face. "Promise you'll stop?" He whispered at me.
"Promise."
"Promise you'll talk to me about it? Whenever you're feeling just a little upset, or even when you're more than just a little. Anytime doing that even crosses your mind, you have to promise you'll talk to me about it." I thought about it for a minute. Everytime? Could I really do that? I sighed and nodded my head in agreement. "Say it." He demanded.
"I promise." I replied. I saw a smile cross his face as he stood up fully.
"Good. Now, to another point." His smiled quickly dropped. What else have I done? "Never, and I absolutely mean never, do what you did today again." I furrowed my eyebrows. Was he serious?
"Kyoya, what else was I supposed to do?" I snapped at him. I noticed his jaw tighten and him cut his eyes at me.
"What if we hadn't gotten there yet? What if you had gotten hurt Sayuri? What if he were to of done the unthinkable to you?" Kyoya stepped closer to me and talked down as if he were better than me.
"What if? That's what all of your sentences started out with. They didn't happen." I defended myself. He mumbled something under his breath that I couldn't make out. I watched him drop his towel and before I could blink I was pushed down on the bed with my wrists trapped above me.
"You know Sayuri, you've been making yourself really vulnerable today." Kyoya whispered to me as his body hovered over mine. Is this his way of trying to make a point?
"I get it Kyo. You're a man and since I trust you so much it wouldn't be hard for you to completely throw away my trust and have your way with me. Today was different though. I didn't trust those guys and I was fully aware of what could have happened. I would have rather put myself in that position than have that girl have to go through it." I saw Kyoya's face bundle up in confusion.
"That's not the point you idiot. You can't go putting yourself in those situations Sayuri. You just can't. I worry about you. We really really do." He raised his voice at me. I mean yeah, I do feel bad that they've had to worry over me.
"I know." I sighed in defeat. "And I'm sorry Kyoya. It won't happen again." His eyes narrowed at me.
"Promise?" What was it with him and promises?
"I promise Kyoya." I answered truthfully. Well as truthful as possible. He pushed himself off of me and adjusted his glasses.
"I'll see you tomorrow morning then. Sleep well, there's a storm coming in. If you need me i'm three doors down."
Author's Note: Soooo... Did you guys notice the sentence Kyoya got tongue tied in? What about the band reference? -3 doors down- *wink wink* gosh i'm such a loser.
