A million thank yous to Gingiie666, cartoonstar, Midnight star 19, physchokitten, buttercupbella, Miaka1977j, Girl-in-the-tiger-kimono, Vatala Darkmist and Sayshi. Sorry about the longer wait. Commitments and blah blah. Also much love to Midnight star19 and Gingiie666 for helping me with a bit of the story I was uncertain over (kaoru's pov). Only own Ami and hotel guests.


Hikaru's P.O.V.

"And that little boy! Euughh! Will he ever shut up? Especially in that accent." The other hotel guests were really getting to me now, I was used to staying in places with just family and friends, and I badly needed to let all my anger out to someone. Haruhi and I had the Private Beach for the day, and the weather was perfect. Well, I bet it was like this all the time here. I could picture myself living here. Kaoru would have to be here too of course, but by that time Haruhi could be my girlfriend. For some reason I could really see Haruhi here. She fitted right in with all this scenery and sunshine.

Oh my god. I had to get all those fantasies out of my head. Did I even like her? Not that it mattered anyway, because she had a boyfriend.

"Oh calm down Hikaru! We only have one week on this island and I'm determined to make the most of it! Annoying guests or otherwise!" I kept forgetting this was such a big deal for her. She never really had been abroad before, and it's not every day you get a free ticket to Greece. Maybe I should be more like her.

Hours passed. We came here straight after breakfast and we were aiming to stay here for the whole day. I was here first, after lying Haruhi's bikini on her bed whilst she was in the shower. Kaoru has instructed me to get loads of photos of her in it, and I would hate to disappoint him. Actually, I thought I'd better ring him later. It had been difficult with the time differences and the hospital not letting me actually speak to him; hopefully I'd get lucky this time.

"Hikaru?" Haruhi looked up from her book, "You wanna swim for a bit? The water looks beautiful." A shiver went up my spine. Why?

"Yeah sure, I need to cool off a bit." I pulled off my shirt and stood up. Haruhi's cheeks went red and she turned away. Did she like me? She couldn't. She was with Tamaki, and so in love. I grabbed her hand and she stood up and reluctantly put the book down, as we ran into the waves. Almost as if we were a couple. I hadn't been this happy for a while.

The sea was gorgeous. Unluckily, I couldn't take my camera in the water, I missed some great shots of Haruhi. After a while we were getting hungry, so we dragged ourselves out of the water and went to dry off. This was perfect photo opportunity, so I took a few snap shots of the embarrassed Haruhi, who was grumbled about objectification. I simply explained it was a fashion thing, which was half true.

"I can't wait to see if Tamaki sends over any presents for tomorrow! I don't think I have ever been so excited for a birthday before!" Damn. Her birthday. I need to organise something!

"Umm Haruhi," I made my excuses, "I need to go and ring Kaoru and stuff…I'll be back in a bit."

"Oh, of course, I had forgotten about Kaoru! Say hi to him from me, will you? I hope he's feeling better."

"Yeah, make sure you get yourself some lunch."

With that I grabbed my bag and dashed for the hotel. I stumbled along the stone path through the woods until I reach the back entrance. I made a beeline for the dining room, and grabbed whatever food I could and avoided all conversation with anyone. When I got to my room I rung Kaoru anyway, so I don't forget later as I knew I was going to be busy.

"Hello? Hello? The line is a little crackly," This was the 3rd attempt at a call, and luckily someone had finally picked up.

"Who is this? Mr. Hitachiin is asleep at the moment." It was a woman's voice, but not one that I recognised.

"Who are you? I am Hikaru, Kaoru's brother. Why are you answering his phone?"

"I am his nurse. And the vibrating noise was annoying me."

I sighed, annoyed at the invasion of privacy. "Well anyway, how is he?"

"He is recovering nicely. But I am busy; he will call you when he wakes up." She ended the call and I spoke to myself.

"Okay…bye…"

Rude. Simply rude if you asked me. But that gave me more time to organise stuff for tomorrow. Firstly, I needed inspiration. So I sat and read a yucky romance novel to get ideas. But it didn't help. I sat for a while longer and eventually I heard Haruhi go into her room next door. It was early, but the light was slowly dimming outside and the setting sun was reflecting off the calm waves. Suddenly I knew what she'd want to do, and after a few quick phone calls, it was all sorted.

Haruhi's P.O.V.

Back at the hotel, after an incredible day. Hikaru came with me to my bedroom so we could watch the sunset together. I felt content there and then watching the beautiful colours of pink, yellow and purple in the midst of a bright orange sun. I glanced at Hikaru and saw him not looking at the wonder before us but me. I smiled at him and he returned it as my heart beat faster and faster and I could feel the blush creeping onto my cheeks.

"What are you staring at?"

I felt someone had to break the silence and on this occasion it was me. Hikaru gave me a lopsided smile and looked at me strangely. A look he didn't use very often but I sometimes caught him using, with a glaze over his eyes.

"I'm not completely sure… it's just... you look amazing right now Haruhi that dress" He pointed to my loose white dress which was gently floating around in the breeze. "And this tender look on your face, I guess you just look completely at peace."

For Hikaru that was pretty profound, not to mention he completely summed up how I felt, maybe this trip was really doing him some good. So I shifted closer to Hikaru, to show how thankful I was to be here with him, our arms touched, and I leant my head against his shoulder. He jumped slightly at the sudden movement but didn't protest; instead he wrapped an arm around my shoulder and gently stroked my hair.

I was reminded of a scene from a film my mum used to like to watch with me, a cliché clip of a prince and a princess. Nearly every little girl wants to grow into a princess and find true love with a handsome prince. I was no different, even if I'd given up on that a long time ago. I wasn't a romantic, I was down to earth and wanted someone sturdy, but there was still that childhood part that wanted to be swept off her feet. I leaned in closer to look at him. Was he someone who could do that? Before I knew it I was face to face with Hikaru as he looked me straight in the eyes and he was just a breath away, one kiss couldn't hurt, could it? Just to tell how I felt.

Suddenly the phone rang, and the spell was broken. Hikaru looked away, embarrassed.

"You should answer that."

"Hello?"

"Haruhi, how are you? I'm missing you like crazy!" Tamaki, how could I forget him? The guilt swept over me so fast I was nearly knocked off my feet. I had always looked down on girls who cheated on their boyfriends and vice versa. I was nearly going to do something I had sworn to never do.

Kaoru's POV

I woke up to the sound of quiet humming from several machines and rolled over to see someone bending over, right in my face.

"Woah that's one hot ass." I said, without thinking.

She suddenly sat up and my eyes widened as I looked over her perfect body encased in a plain nursing uniform that somehow looked cute on her, long sleek dark hair and startlingly blue eyes - which were now glaring at me.

"Whilst I'm your nurse I suggest you don't act like a pervert."

I was suddenly a bit embarrassed of my ogling, she was really pretty though, a knockout.

"Yeah… sorry,"

If looks could kill I would be deader than a person in deadland on deadtablets.

"Okay, let's get this over with, so I can go home and you can have more rest."

She seemed to be in a rather bitchy mood, I wondered if it had just been me to set her off. As she started taking my temperature and so on, I got bored of the silence and started figeting.

"Stop moving around!" She barked. Something was wrong was this girl and her attitude. Still I decided to start a conversation, I really don't like silences.

"So, whats your name?"

She pointed to a name tag on her uniform.

"Ami, that's a nice name," I complemented, it was, if a bit common. I was met with a scowl. Well maybe not so nice. It was strange usually girls were falling all over me by now, Ami just well wasn't. Perhaps girls didn't like me as much with out Hikaru, or maybe I was losing my touch. Scary thought.

"Ami! Ami! Ami!" A loud, high pitched voice came from a small girl, as she came running down the corridor. Ami's face lit up into a smile. The first one I had seen since I'd woken up.

"Haruka I thought I told you not to come up, until after I've finished my job," From the tone of her voice I could tell she wasn't really that cross.

"You should be finished by now." She said, tugging on her uniform.

"I will be as soon as I've checked over this idiot."

"The idiot has a name." I muttered.

Haruka gave me a shy glance before stepping out the room.

"Be quick okay." She called down the corridor.

"Was that your sister then?" I had to admit I was curious.

"Yeah, she's a sweetie." There was a huge amoutn of fondness in her voice, and it reminded me a bit of ym bond with Hikaru.

"I have a brother, a twin," She seemed to be less likely to bite my head off, I knew I wasn't losing my touch, I just had to find common ground.

"Yeah I think he called earlier." And she only mentions it now.

"He did? What!"

"Yeah." She said absently. "I told him you were asleep." Great now I'd never get to catch up with Hikaru. I wouldn't have minded her waking me up just to talk to him, if I don't soon I won't be able to stop him from doing anything stupid.

She stood up, and brushed a piece of lint off her clothes. "Well I'll be off now Kaoru."

"Bye." Just as she was leaving I noticed a small wrapped up package beside my desk, she had obiously left there.

"Hey Ami!"

"What now?"

"You left something,"

She came over and snatched the package out my hand, before hesitantly giving her thanks. Well this was certainly going to be an interesting hospital stay, at the very least I'd found something to keep me occupied.
