Hey guys! Guess what?! I'm on another trip! My first one was a lot of fun, but it was exhausting! I have internet access here, so that makes me happy. I've only managed to complete this chapter (I've been a little busy, plus I'm trying to finish library books), but I'll try to get the next ones out ASAP! I really appreciate all the kind feedback I've been getting for this story! But, kind feedback alone doesn't help me improve my writing and your reading experience. So, if you could please try and give me some constructive criticism, that would be much appreciated! If you can't, don't worry! I just want you all to enjoy!

Chapter 4: A Bag of Nuts

"You've seemed tense lately." My younger brother, Jirou, said to on the way to school. Of course I've been tense! I met the Host Club, the most annoying boys on the face of the Earth! "Are you okay? What's going on?"

I let out a deep sigh. "Oh, nothing much," I started out sarcastically, "I've just been blackmailed by the most frustrating, and maddening, group of boys on the planet!" I kept elevating my sarcasm into anger. It might have been fun yesterday to scare Tamaki, but today wasn't going to be quite as enjoyable, I was sure.

Jirou looked at me in shock. He was always the main receiver of my annoyance and temper, yet he continued to make sure I was okay. I only ever vented when talking with him. He was the closest person to me, and I to him.

"Who blackmailed you?!" he asked, focusing on the more concerning aspect.

I rolled my eyes at the thought and said coldly, "The Host Club."

He looked at me in confusion. "Why would they blackmail you?"

"Well," I started as calmly as possible," I sort of punched their president and I expressed my opinion of their club, in front of them. Thus, they threatened me." I explained.

"Of course, I should have known. What'd they threaten you with?" He replied, and then asked me the question I didn't want to answer.

"Well, the brains guy said he knew our family's….secret. I didn't want to take any chances, so I had to agree to their terms." I tried explaining myself.

"He could have been bluffing, you know."

"True, but again, I didn't want to take any chances."

Jirou sighed to signal that he was done, and looked out the window of the limo. He sat on the seat facing mine. I might like to walk from school, but I prefer to ride to school.

"Oh, look at that. We're here." He said a few seconds later. I sighed, and when we stopped we both got out. He put on his happy school face, waved at me, and ran off towards the middle school. I went to the high school.

Why oh, why did I have to be smart? I was in class 1A, the twins' class. So, maybe the question I should have been asking is: why'd the twins have to be smart?

All throughout class they were grinning and smiling at me. They must have had something planned for later. At lunch they came up to me. I was right.

"So Kuro," Hikaru started, "I hope you're looking forward to this afternoon. I know we are." He gave me a sly smile. I rolled my eyes, took my tray of food in both hands, got up and tried to walk away. They were right behind me.

"You know, we have a little free time after lunch. Why don't you hang out with us?" Kaoru asked mischievously.

"Oh gee. That's so sweet of you!" I said in my best sarcastic girly voice. I then dropped the façade and got serious. "Uh, no. Why would I hang out with the two of you more than I all ready have to?" I looked at them out of the corner of my eye as I continued walking to find a new spot. With their long legs, they were able to keep stride with me perfectly.

"Well, it would make the time you have to spend with us more enjoyable." They told me as they stood in front of me, intertwined. I gave them a quizzical look. They exchanged glances at each other along with tiny smirks. They then separated and slid off to either side. I started walking forward. Suddenly, I felt both of my arms being hooked by an arm each from behind me. The twins picked me up like that and carried me off to my likely doom, lunch tray and all.

Inevitably, our final destination was Music Room #3. On the way, I decided they weren't taking me easily. I was going to try and kick them in the shins, but they seemed to sense my intentions. Each of them grabbed hold of my legs with their free hands. If I hadn't been so hungry, I would have dropped my lunch and used my hands, or just used the tray. They should've considered themselves lucky I was hungry.

They dumped me in a chair, placed next to a table. "You might as well eat." One of the twins told me. I set my tray down on the table rather loudly to demonstrate my frustration with them. "But eat quickly." The other said. They each turned their backs to make phone calls.

"Kyoya, target acquired." Started one.

"We need you both in the club room," started the other.

"Get here now!" finished both.

I ate rather peacefully until the door opened. Kyoya walked in with his eyes cast down in his book. Soon afterwards, two identical maids walked in. The Hitachiin twins walked up to the maids and whispered something while looking at me out of the corners of their eyes. The twins stepped away, and the maids grinned evilly (with sparks in their eyes) at me. They rushed up to me and carried me to the fitting room from before, in one swoop. They stripped off my uniform dress, my black shoes, my cargo shorts (I always wore a pair under my uniform), and my white stockings. All I was left in was my sports bra and underwear.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" I tried to cover myself up with my arms.

"Taking your measurements," they replied with smiles while holding up measuring tapes.

"Oh, no you don't." I started backing away from them. They lunged for me.

I'm sorry this chapter was kinda short (and probably not as good), but the next one will probably be longer (and better)! I predict I'll have fun writing the tea party! I hope you'll have just as much fun reading it. ;) Oh, I also uploaded the full version of the cover to my DeviantArt. You can find me under the same name as this account. I plan on uploading more art for this story there. Make sure to leave your thoughts in the review box! (Don't forget the constructive criticism!) Talk to ya next chapter!
