7th Chapter
The Hitachiin twins gave the other set of twins a sour face. "What? You are guys aren't you? And girls think you're cute, if you call THIS cute, ne Mark?"
"Hai, Matt. Onee-chan does have a history of boyfriends. She would always come home with either a sweet or angry face."
"Idiots. Okay then if I DO introduce you to these people, will you leave?" Namiko said. The two nodded. "Good boys. So the little blond boy is called Honey -sempai, and the tall guy is his cousin, Mori-sempai; they are seniors. The two other twins are Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachiin and you've met Haruhi so you know they are 1st years. The guy with glasses is Kyoya-sempai and that blond guy is Tamaki-sempai. HAPPY?!! Now leave."
"Hold up. So you are telling me that that lil boy is our sempai?" Mark asked.
"Hell yeah. You got a problem?" Namiko lifted her fist.
Everyone, except Honey and Mori stepped back. "AH…NO, NO, NO PROBLEM HERE!"
Kyoya laughed at the way everyone was afraid of this girl. "Namiko, do your brothers have any talents?"
Namiko thought about it. "Well, I guess they are good at the drums. Actually Mark is and Matt's good at the guitar. They normally go on tour with me and play as my band. They are also national basketball champions. Why? Are you thinking about putting them in the club too?"
"Maybe. We have to test them first." Kyoya pushed up his glasses.
The next day… Matt and Mark were in the most common place commoners went to eat; the diner. They were serving as waiters and the Host Club was there to see how many people want to sit at their tables.
"This is idiotic," Namiko and Haruhi said together.
"Stop stealing our trademark speaking!" the twins whined.
"It's not our fault. We just think the same thing and say it at the same time. We don't plan this," they said.
"There you go again!!" the twins whined again.
"Stop yelling at my precious daughters!" Tamaki yelled. Namiko and Haruhi were about to say something but decided not to, as it might upset the twins again.
"No one wants to hear your yelling on a Saturday," Kyoya said. The two girls stared at him as to say, "Thank you." He slightly bowed his head as to say, "Your Welcome."
"Miko-chan, Miko-chan!! Is there good cake here?" Hani asked.
Aw he is so cute. "Sure Honey -sempai!" Namiko said with a soft smile. "Yo brothers!" Her twin brothers came over. "One chocolate cake with strawberries," Namiko thought about how Hani eats. "Actually, make it five cakes." The twins shrugged and came back with the five cakes.
Kyoya didn't eat any. He was busy watching the twins and writing down notes. Namiko stared at him, thinking. He's actually quite nice when he isn't talking. "Namiko?"
She shook her head and looked at the voice. "Oh, Kyoya-sempai. What is it?"
"Where is Daitaro?"
"He said he needed to give some dancing lessons. It's for the needy, you know, we like to do charity things." Kyoya gave a laugh, but only a little one. Who enjoys giving charity?
They stayed at the diner a little longer until Kyoya was satisfied. "I think they are good enough to join the club."
"But it has to be temporary. They have to practice for basketball ya know?" Namiko said worryingly. He nodded. "Okay, I'll go get them." Namiko went to get them and everyone said goodbye. Tamaki wanted to go to the mall and the Club gave in, but Namiko and her brothers said they had to go.
"You seem to like them, the Host Club," Mark said with a small smile. Matt was sleeping on her lap. Namiko looked at Matt and stroked his hair. "I guess." Mark looked at his sister for a moment. I don't want her to get hurt. I love her so much. Namiko put a hand on her brother's lap. "We're almost there," she said with a sad face.
They all got out of the cab because Namiko forgot that she went to the diner in Hani's limo. Matt was rubbing his eyes. "Here it is. The cliff," he said softly, but loud enough for his siblings to hear. They were on a cliff that overlooked the sea. It was like their own spot, no one knew about it.
"This is her favorite place," Namiko said. Her brothers walked up to her and sat down with their legs swinging on the edge of the cliff. Namiko sat down with them. "I…I miss her…I miss her so much. I couldn't protect her. It's my entire fault." Namiko started to cry. Her brothers started to tear up too and they hugged their sister, for her comfort, and for their own.
"Onee-chan, Onii-chan! Look at this, it's the sea! It's the sea!" The little girl ran up to the cliff.
"Sakura! Don't stand so close. You might fall." An older girl ran up to her little sister.
"Oh come on Namiko. Give her a break, she's excited," a boy said.
"I know Matt I'm just scared." Namiko gave Sakura a smile. "But don't worry. If you fall, Onee-chan will save you."
"Daisuki Onee-chan! You're the best."
"I love you too Sakura." Another boy came up to Sakura and put a pink flower in her hair.
"A sakura for Sakura. (A/N Sakura means cherry blossom) You look so cute," one boy said. All the girl's siblings came up to her and watched the sea. The eldest sister sat down at the edge and pulled the little girl on her lap and hugged her tight.
"You know, the sea never ends. The waves always go back and forth, the sea animals are always happy in the sea. We are the sea Sakura. We will always be together. Our love never ends," The eldest sibling said.
"But what about when Onee-chan and my onii-chans go on tour? I'm always left with mama and daddy." A tear went down the little girl's cheek.
Mark wiped away the tear with a finger. "Like Onee-chan said, we will always be together."
"…How Onii-chan?" the little girl looked up at her brother.
Mark pointed a finger at the girl's heart. "We will always be in your heart." He put a hand on his own heart. "Like you are in ours. You have a special part in here that can never be replaced."
"Arigato everyone!" Everyone hugged their little sister. Sakura started to cry. "I have the best life ever, because I have you guys. You guys have a special place in my hearts too! And it's huge! It takes up most of my heart!" The siblings laughed.
Matt put a blindfold on Sakura's eyes. "What is it Matt onii-san?"
"You're birthday present." Sakura stayed like that for a few minutes with a big smile on her face. Matt took off the blindfold. "Look Sakura. The sunset; one of natures most beautiful presents."
The little girl looked at her present affectionately. "Ne! For my birthday, I don't need any presents. I just want to see the sea, in this spot, with everyone. Okay?"
Her siblings looked at her until Namiko said, "Sure, as long as we are family, we will come here for Sakura's birthday every year. It's a promise."
Namiko's crying became softer. "Happy Birthday my dear, sweet Sakura. Daisuki," she said softly. Namiko put her head on one of her brother's shoulders and cried more.
Minutes passed and Namiko fell asleep. "I can't cry. If I do then she would help me."
"Mark? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Namiko has been helping us our whole lives! She's comforted us when we were lonely, when Sakura died, and other reasons. This is one of the rare moments that she cried in front of us. And if we cry, she'll think that she has to be strong for us, get it?"
"…I see…Beautiful sunset right?"
"Yeah, it reminds me of that day."
