Woo! another chap up! Thanks Dino for another wonderful chapter!

Chapter 2: Are you Okay?

"Do you have a wish Haruhi?" i smiled at the 10 year old girl as we sat down in front of a lake during the night, right in front of my house. "Yeah… i want to become a lawyer like my mother." i smiled at her. "What about you Aki?" i grin. "I want to be loved." Haruhi gave a sad look. "I just know, if i become a guy like one of the maids suggested, then father will love me again! i just know it! I'm sure he will love me if i act like Kaito!" Haruhi patted my shoulder. "Kaito again?" i smile sadly, remembering my older brother. "I promised… i promised his Grave that i would fulfil his role, that i would become him and be loved by father again… i'm sure father will see… I'm sure…" What else was i supposed to do? Kaito was who my father loved the most and he was unfairly taken from this world. Kaito deserved to still live on, and Kaito said i deserved to be loved, so why not put both ideas together? "Aki, Your dad should love you for you, not because you look like Kaito." i frown. "But… what if dad doesn't love me at all? I just want him to hug me and say goodmorning and goodnight, even if he isn't talking to me." Haruhi sighed, not really understanding.

"You don't understand Haruhi… You have a father who shows you he loves you everyday, that he cares, even if it might be too much, you KNOW he loves you. My dad beats me, and says i'm horrible, and won't even look me in the eye… you just… don't understand how… how forgotten i feel…"

I jerked out of the dream and back to the real world. The room was pitch black and i was covered in a cold sweat. i immediately jump out of the covers and run to the bathroom, flicking the light on and staring at myself. My blonde hair that had white streaks was sticking to my face, i was looking pale and sick, brown bags under my bright green eyes. I turned on the water and splashed it onto my face, trying to wash off the worries.

"Aki…?" i whip around to see a sleepy looking Haruhi. "What are you… doing up? Its like… 6 in the- ah! we have to get ready!" i chuckled at Haruhi, realizing that she must not have set her alarm because of her being so preoccupied with me. i wash my face and brush my hair and teeth before i leave the bathroom.

I got dressed in the regular attire and didn't even try to hide in my hoodie, the girls had already seen my yesterday day, why even try?

"Aki?" i glance over my shoulder at the already finished Haruhi. "Are you okay?" i grin, hiding the fact i felt uneasy, as if i was about to throw up. "I'm fine. Lets go, 'k?" She smiled and nodded her head as we both left.

I went to my classes and ignored everything. I would smile at the girls who looked at me, i did my work. But i never talked once. My body was constantly trembling, like it does during thunderstorms. Yes, me and Haruhi share that fear, we both had to deal with it all alone except, while she was inside, i was forced to be outside. My father thought if i was out there with it, i would get over it… he was so wrong, because of what he did, my fear may even be 10x more than Haruhi.

Anyway, once all our classes ended i silently followed haruhi to the 3rd music room. I didn't hang on her, i stayed a good foot away actually.

When i get scared, or i'm flustered, i don't like being touched at all.

"Aki, are you sure you're okay? You haven't eaten anything, you haven't talked, you haven't been acting like the older sister AT ALL. which is weird, you're always being the older one. But…" My moods weren't always the best. My little brother used to say that when i was scared or flustered, my tried personality came out. Yes, he said this to make me mad, he doesn't really… talk to me anymore…

"I'm fine, don't worry Haruhi." I gave a sheepish smile as we entered the room. "HARUHI~~!" Tamaki enveloped Haruhi in a giant hug. I only watched this time as i heard a faint click come from the direction of Kyouya.

Wasn't Haruhi the lucky one? Getting hugs everyday and-

Look… there i go again…

"Well, i'll go get the tea started." and i walked away. i prepared the tea that i was probably going to serve, and waited for a girls hand to raise so i could walk over and serve her. But this didn't happen today, today, i didn't do anything because no one wanted tea apparently.

All the girls finally left, and i was left to sit on the other side of the couch, away from Haruhi. "Hey… is it your first time here?" i glance towards the doors, seeing Tamaki and a few others confront a girl standing in the doorway. I brushed it off.

Or well, i did until a slap rang out. I jerked at the familiar sound and shot my eyes to the doors. The random girl… had just slapped Tamaki down and started to yell at him about how he was a fake. I shot up from my seat as my hand balled into fists. I moved to go talk to the girl in a not so nice manner, but Haruhi and pulled me back. "i knew it! you're not fine! what scared you so badly!?"

I huffily sit back on the couch, crossing my arms.

"I'm fine." She only rolled her eyes.

"Everyone who knows you knows that whenever you're scared, your personality changes drastically." Haruhi glanced up at someone who began talking to her. i turned them out and didn't even bother to see who the person was, or even to say bye to Haruhi.

My thoughts had already wandered back to my dream.

I don't know for how long, but for a very long time, even now, i was jealous of Haruhi. She had a loving father who gave her all of his love, friends who loved her as well, confessions every other week, and now, she had a club who acts as her second family. She had so many people who loved her, and she brushed it off like nothing! Of course, i never showed my jealousy, i wasn't going to do anything bad to her. i locked it away, it only opened when had a nightmare… a nightmare like i had last night…

My chin was suddenly tipped up and as my lips parted in a small gasp, a cookie was placed in them.

There stood an annoyed looking Haruhi. "If you're going to be so pouty, at least have a cookie." my hand went up and held the cookie as i began to eat it.

When i finished, i stood up and smiled. "Thanks Haruhi~!" and there you go, the jealousy had been locked back up because of Haruhi's kindness.

"You have some crumbs on your face Haruhi!" i glance over to see the twins take advantage of Haruhi's innocence. The twins then glanced over at me at me, and i heard a two clicks come from them. "Aki! you have some crumbs on your face too." they both made their way over to me and began brushing them away, nothing as bad as licking Haruhi. i smiled at them. "Thanks you guys." they only smiled and nodded in reply.

"AH~~!" A body presses into my leg. i look down to see a crying Honey.

i pick him up and hug in to my chest. "Honey!? What happened? Lose your bunny? no cake? stubbed you toe? lost a show?" Honey shook his head in a frantic manner. he raised his head up and showed a pink and swollen cheek. "Sh-she! Renge pinched me!" i kissed his cheek and hugged him tighter as my eyes found the girl from earlier glaring at us.

I growled as i turned to Mori, placing Honey in his arms. "I'll be right back." my fists balled again as i began walking over to the girl.

She glanced up at me and gave a questioning look. "Another one…? Thats makes too many… what is your roll?" my roll up my sleeves and crack my knuckles.

"Me? I'm the… bodyguard per say. And you hurting Tamaki, and then Haruhi, that was a bi-"

"Language Aki!" i roll my eyes.

"Dumb move!" i move to grab her, to at least slap her and drag her out.

I was protective. Someone hurting ANYONE that i protected was going to get a as- butt beating!

but, i was being held back by Mori and Honey. Mori grabbed me around the waist while Honey holding my neck.

I tried to twist out of the grip, to attack the female, but what can i say? Mori and Honey was too much. I finally was sat back on the couch as i crossed my arms. "that A-Hole should have water dumped on her… stupid girl. What right does she have to hurt you guys? shes some random chick!" i continued to grumble to myself as the scenes played out.

"I mean… why do we even have to film this movie?" Haruhi only sighed. "Your lucky Haruhi~! you get to stay in your regular school closes… i mean, look at me!" i gestured to my butlers attire. " 'A Butler who was kind and sweet, but in the inside, he truly means harm to everyone.' What does that even mean!? I'm not some demon butler (yes, this is a reference to Sebastian from Black Butler)!" Haruhi only shrugged as she was pulled away by Renge. They were going to the back of the school, making me worry.

"Hey, uh… i'm going to check up on them… okay?" Tamaki follows as well as we run over.

Three boys were standing over a kneeling, and looking in pain Haruhi. Before Tamaki could move. i growled and charged.

I grabbed the closet boy and held him by his collar as Tamaki ran over to Haruhi. "WHO HIT HER!?" the guy began to shake. I hit him gainst the wall that was behind him. "I swear, if Haruhi is hurt…" It came out in a low, and threatening growl. The boy whimpered and ripped out of my hold. He and his friends ran off.

"C-camara! did you get all that!?" i whipped back to see Renge. "It was wonderful! The Demon butler along with the prince swooped in to save the one they truly loved! The Prince and COmmoner live happily ever after, the butler by there side!"

"You did this?!" She laughed. "Of course! all for a-!" i cut her off by growling.

"Your disgusting." Her eyes widened in surprise.

"You can't change peoples lives! They are who they are. You can't rewrite them like a book. Haruhi is a smart and blunt girl that is loved by all! Tamaki is a flirtatious man who is loyal and believes in his friends! You can't change them, they are who they are! I am not some BUTLER! I care for everyone here! i don't want to hurt them! i want to protect every last one, even if it kills me! Can you rewrite that goal? Our lives, the drama and the mystery, those have made up our lives. Can you do something about that? NO. you can't just change people! We don't NEED changing, we are perfect in our own way! But you… you are the one person who i believe, i would never help. All you have done here is mess everything up, you have hurt our pride, you have hurt out looks. Not only that… you hurt Honey, Tamaki and Haruhi. You Renge… Disgust me." I glared coldly at the girl, letting my words sink in.

Yes… when i am scared or flustered… be it from a thunderstorm or a horrible memory… My personality changes. It might be that i have acted so much like my brother that when my personality changes, its just my real one coming out… or it might be that its an overload from acting so nice, and i just release it.

But… no matter when it happens, i feel calm afterwards, like everything is right in the world. So, when Kyouya cleared everything up with Renge. I said sorry to her and i asked if we could be friends. She agreed in a heartbeat, if it was from fear or not, i may never know… but… i was happy i had that dream last night. i feel so much better, like i could face the world. I apologized to the club about how i acted that day and then left right after.

I packed up what little i had brought over to haruhi's and tried to leave but… right before i could, Haruhi's dad came out and hugged me. His real fatherly voice sounded out as he told me, 'Aki, you don't always have to hide. If you ever need somewhere to go, know that we are here for you.' and then just like that, he was back to his womanly go lucky self.

When i arrived at home, i locked myself in my room and cried.

Not from sadness or guilt… i cried because i was happy.

To know i had someone who cared so much, someone who i only said hi to when i had to, someone who i hadn't spent days with like Haruhi… just someone i would greet… he welcomed me as if i was really Haruhi's sister. He may never know… but those few words made me so happy.

I wonder… who else in this world could say something like that, towards me?
