A/N okay, for those who are wondering, I made Kyoko show up in late March, early April. It will come into play in this chapter.

Remember Haruhi in chapter two asking Kyoko's age. It comes into play in the next few chaps.

Let's go!

Kyoko had a smile on her face as they parked the car. The host club had decided to spend their spring break at a rental house. They were near a beach, an amusement park, and a bunch of fancy restaurants. A few days before the end of their stay there would be fireworks visible from the beach, and the twins had a big plan for that night.

Kyoko would have to share a room with Haruhi and Rin for the stay. The house was spacious, but only had 4 rooms. So Tamaki shared with Kyouya, Hikaru and Kaoru, and Hunny and Mori, of course. The girls got the biggest room since they had the most people, and the woman who rented them the house left the correct number of beds in each room for them.

The house was spacious, and looked pretty traditional. It had tatami mats, sliding screen doors; it looked like a bigger version of Haruhi's house, actually.

Kyoko had never been in a place like it, and it made her feel excited. She loved that she had to take her shoes off out of respect.

They all carried their luggage to their rooms, and they all decided to take a walk to the beach. Kyoko was so excited, that she didn't care she wasn't supposed to run in flip flops. She was fine until the sidewalk changed to sand, and she fell, scratching her arm on the ground. She yelped and sat up, holding her arm. She had a long gash from her wrist to her elbow.

"Kyoko-chan!" Rin yelled, kneeling next to the younger girl. "Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine…"

There was nothing to wrap her arm up with, and Tamaki was upset about it, claiming that the cut was going to get infected and she would have to have her arm amputated. That got Kyoko freaked out, and they both freaked out together until Kyouya took his shirt off. He kneeled next to her and wrapped her arm up to protect it.

"Ah, Kyouya-kun, it'll ruin your shirt!" She protested. Kyouya stood up and fixed his glasses, saying, "It's fine. I have more shirts."

They all returned home that night exhausted. Tamaki had asked to talk to Kyoko alone, and she said it was fine.

They walked to the backyard that overlooked the ocean. They sat on the ground, and it was silent for a while. Kyoko broke the silence.

OoOoOoOo

Back at the house…

OoOoOoOo

Haruhi walked to the small deck out front of the house to where Rin was sitting, reading a book. "Rin-senpai, where is Kyoko-senpai? She needs to get her cut clean before she really gets an infection."

"Hm? Oh, Tamaki wanted to talk to her so they went out back. I wonder what he wanted to talk about when she's so chewed up…" Haruhi sighed and walked back inside saying that she would go get them.

"Tamaki-kun, what did you want to--" Kyoko began.

"I love you." He blurted out. Kyoko blushed and stared at him. Her eyes were wide and she was gaping. Tamaki blushed too and stared at her, waiting for an answer. "You're just so… nice, and cute, and modest, and helpful… You're always smiling and… ever since the whole thing with my mother, I've loved you…"

Kyoko looked away. She was still confused about her feelings for Kyouya, and now Tamaki was adding his feelings to the group? Kyoko loved Tamaki like a sister would, but she wasn't… in love with him…

"Uh… I mean… I thought I could say it like normal but I guess not! Uh, well, I think it's time we got back!" He said, standing up. He pulled Kyoko up by her good arm and pulled her back to the house.

Meanwhile, Haruhi stood a little way behind where Tamaki sat only moments before. She stood still and stared off into space before a small tear rolled down her cheek. She wiped it away in surprise. What did she feel when she heard him say that? Was she… mad? Hurt? Jealous? Why would she be jealous? She didn't like Tamaki that way. Kyoko could have the blonde idiot. She walked rather reluctantly back to the house.

Haruhi wanted to help Kyoko with her cut, but for some reason, whenever she saw the older girl, she just wanted to slap her. She didn't want to actually hurt her, so she avoided her as best as she could. Kyoko noticed that she was avoiding her. She walked into the living room where Kyouya sat with his laptop.

"Kyouya-kun--"

"You never got your cut cleaned."

"What? Oh, no I guess not."

"I'll be right back."

He left the room, leaving his laptop open on the coffee table. Kyoko sat on the couch next to where the brunette boy sat a second ago. Said boy returned holding a first aid kit and sat next to her. "Let me see your arm."

She held out the injured arm. Kyouya reached out and peeled the stained fabric away from the wound. Kyoko bit her lip and looked away. It hurt, badly.

Kyoko screamed when she felt a sting on her arm. "OUCH!" She pulled her hand away. Kyouya was holding a cotton ball with disinfectant on it.

"I have to clean it," the boy said, a little angry.

"It hurt!" She said, astounded.

"That'll happen when you get injured. Things tend to hurt."

Kyoko blushed and held her arm out again. Kyoko bit her lip again and Kyouya began cleaning the wound again. Kyoko couldn't watch him. The sight was disgusting her.

She heard a ripping noise as a pack of bandages was opened. Thee girl looked back and watched the boy wrap her arm up in the white cloth. He tied it up and put some medical tape on it for extra security.

The bandage was a little loose, but Kyouya probably didn't handle things like that a lot, so Kyoko just smiled and thanked him. The brunette stood up and picked the ruined shirt up off the ground. He walked to the kitchen and dropped it into the trash can. Kyoko gasped in horror.

"I'm so sorry about ruining your shirt! Can I buy you a new one?"

"Just forget about it."

He picked his laptop up off the table and walked out of the room. Kyoko blushed as she watched him walk away. Her thoughts strayed to the problem at hand.

Tamaki confessed his love for her…

But she didn't love him back.

Haruhi was mad at her…

And she didn't know why…

It was only the first day!

She lay back on the couch and tried thinking of a solution.

Kyoko woke up the next morning and yawned. She looked around the room to find it empty. As she moved to sit up she felt a horrid pain in her arm. She glanced at the bandage, recalling how Kyouya had been the one who helped her. She remembered lying on the couch and then…

Nothing.

Someone must have carried her to her room, but whom?

She would find out later.

She got dressed and brushed her hair before walking down the stairs. She was greeted by Rin and Hunny.

"Good Morning sleepyhead," Rin said, smiling. Kyoko smiled back and scratched her head, saying, "Good morning! I didn't realize how late it was!"

Rin smiled and walked to the kitchen with Hunny.

Kyoko followed her, only to see Haruhi in the small room. Rin walked out the back door with Hunny, most likely to be with everyone else. Haruhi seemed to ignore her as they both made their breakfasts.

"Haruhi-chan, is something wrong? You seem mad…"

Haruhi turned around and glared at her, "How can you do this to him?"

"Do what? What do you mean?"

"How could you hurt Tamaki-senpai like this?!" The younger girl yelled. Kyoko noticed that everyone was coming into the room now. "I don't know what you mean." She said, completely honest.

"Tamaki-senpai said he loves you, but you keep going to Kyouya-senpai!"

"What is going on?!" Tamaki said, stepping forward. He was next to Kyoko. Haruhi glared, a tear falling down her smooth cheek.

"I hate you Kyoko-senpai!"

SLAP

Haruhi ran out of the house, leaving Kyoko standing in the middle of the room holding her cheek. Tamaki ran after the young girl, yelling at her to stop. After a minute Kyoko joined in the chase and began calling after Haruhi too. Rin grabbed Kyouya's arm and dragged him with her after them.

The twins, Mori, and Hunny all stood in the room staring at the door which was flung open. They slowly walked out to follow, not in as much of a hurry.

Rin wasn't accustomed to running much, so she had to stop, but yelled at Kyouya to keep running. She was about to continue running when a hand wrapped around her upper arm. She looked back and saw Mori standing there, Hunny on his shoulders and the twins behind her.

"Stay. This is for them to figure out." Mori said, staring after the fading form of Kyouya as he ran.

Rin sighed and looked after them, "I'm worried. I don't want Kyoko to get hurt."

As Haruhi ran she knocked over a person who was holding shopping bags. As they stood up, Tamaki ran into them. Kyoko and Kyouya did the same thing, only Rin, Mori and the rest of them stopped to help the poor person.

Haruhi began to feel her lungs burn as she neared a small patch of woods. She ran into it, hoping to loose her chasers in the trees.

Tamaki stopped when he reached the plants. He sighed and began pushing through. Kyoko pushed through a bush, loosing sight of Tamaki. She neared the trees and entered as well. Kyouya followed Kyoko closely. He didn't get too close until he saw Kyoko fall onto the ground. She caught her breath, and began crying.

Kyouya stood behind a tree so she couldn't see him, and he watched her.

"I don't know what's going on!" She said, punching the ground as tears fell from her face. "Why is she mad at me? I didn't mean for this to happen…"

There was a small rustle from a bush before a head of long blonde hair poked out.

The former maid walked to the crying girl and kneeled next to her. Kyoko looked at the girl above her before latching onto her and crying. Rin patted her head and told her everything was going to be okay.

Kyouya stood perfectly still as he watched. No one knew what was going on between Tamaki, Kyoko and Haruhi, but based on what Haruhi had said earlier, Kyouya put together a theory:

1: Something happened last night.

2: Tamaki said something about loving Kyoko.

3: Haruhi heard.

4: Haruhi was jealous.

5: Kyoko had no idea what to do.

6: Haruhi is confused about her feelings, as is Kyoko.

7: This was going to be one hell of a spring break.

A/N Aww, poor Kyoko. This plot began after I read an old favorite manga of mine. Someday's Dreamers: Spellbound.

I do believe this was inspired by vol. 2, when they go to watch Mitsuaki at the Triathlon. I don't mean to take a lot of the plot, but I did think it would fit nicely in the story, so I borrowed it. I don't own that plot, loyal fans!

Jebus! I'm really liking this new 'reader traffic' thing that FF put up. I didn't know this many people could read my story! I have people all over the world that like this story! I know, how about you guys leave me reviews telling me what country you're from? I'd love that! I'd give thanks and ice cream to all who tell me!
