I've decided to do a moderately long chapter this time. Also, I reread all the previous chapters and made some changes. If you're bored at all, you can always go back and try to spot them.

If you like MoriHaru and HoneyOC, I suggest you check out my other story 'Haruhi's Older Sister'.

Go to my profile and vote on the poll. While you're there check out the other story ideas I have.

Enjoy!

I was piggy-backed all the way to the clinic, and it wasn't without stares and whispers from the rest of the students who were still at school (which was most of them). Thankfully, Haninozuka had spotted my jacket at the karate club and given it to me, so I wasn't topless while heading to the nurse's office. Haninozuka had also forced his younger brother to come along. It turns out the nurse wasn't in at the moment, so I had to stay outside the main office. Apparently, since it wasn't a major injury, I couldn't leave the school to go to a hospital. The nurse was suppose to come in within the next five minutes though. The entire host club had decided to stay with me during that time also.

I opened my mouth and then closed it.

"What is it, princess? Do you need water? Perhaps-"

"I'm fine, Suoh," I said irritately. "And I'd still be fine if you all didn't stay and wait with me."

"I am a gentleman! As such, I cannot and am unable to leave such a beautiful, fiery-spirited girl on her own when she is injured! It would be a crime! No worse than a crime, it'd be-"

He went on and on as to why that'd be a crime for 'someone like him'.

The twins also decided to stay.

"This is a bit entertaining," the older one started.

"so we'll stay for a bit longer also," the younger one finished.

Fujioka had already left because he was about to miss the train home. Before he left, he put Suoh in a corner about ten times and pushed away the Hitachiins about eight. I pity him a bit.

Haninozuka was tearing up. I attempted to comfort him in a soothing voice while thinking that crying was a bit out of character from the Haninozuka I had in my mind.

"Hai, hai. Soro, soro. What's wrong, Haninozuka-san?"

"It's my fault that you got hurt!"

"It's not your fault!" I quickly replied. "It was your brother's!"

"Chika! Yasuchika!"

A voice came from down the hall. Morinozuka was running towards Haninozuka's younger brother with a wooden stick in his hand.

"How dare you! You even promised to go home with me!"

He had started hitting Haninozuka's younger brother who was sporting quite a lot of bruises since Morinozuka came.

"Satoshi," Takashi said.

He moved me to his lap after we were ordered to stay in the main office's lobby, absolutely refusing to let me be independent. I felt his voice come out and rumble. Never mind that, I could feel his muscles. Do you have any idea what a kendo champion's muscles feel like? I blushed and looked at the vein's of the plant next to us which were quite interesting all of a sudden. I shook my head a bit too though it didn't work as well as I had hoped. I shouldn't be thinking about stuff like this!

"Taka-nii! I thought you already went home with Mitsukuni already!"

I could feel his stare on my back.

"Who's that?"

I turned my head to face him a little.

"Oh! It's the girl who beat you in a kendo match and then lost the next one!"

He paused.

"She's quite injured, isn't she? Did you get beat up by Taka-nii's fangirls? I heard them planning it...and I was going to interfere too!"

I was going to get attacked by fangirls? And fangirls of Takashi no less!

"No. These injuries are courtesy of that boy over there. Haninozuka's younger brother," I said, pointedly looking at the said person.

Morinozuka turned to face the boy, his eyes looking a little bit like flames now. He pointed the stick at Haninozuka's younger brother and started battering him again.

"First you leave without telling me and then you injure a lady? Have I not disciplined you better? Shame on you for daring to injuring her!"

Feeling a bit of pity for the bruised boy, I called out to the attacker.

"I-it's not entirely his fault. I guess I have to admit that it was me who kicked him first. It was only self-defense on his part."

Haninozuka butted between me and Morinozuka to face me.

"You weren't attacking any more, Hako-chan!"

He faced his brother.

"Apologize, Yasuchika!"

The brother merely looked away. I sat in a small puddle of confusion.

"Wait. Who's Yasuchika?"

The twins who were merely sitting in the background watching the 'show' with some popcorn at their sides answered for me. I saw that Kaoru was, for some reason, still covering Ami's eyes. There wasn't a need anymore. It was already out of view.

"He's Honey-senpai's-"

"younger brother-"

"obviously."

My mouth formed a little 'o' shape. It occurred to me that I didn't even know Yasuchika's name before this. So Yasuchika will be Yasuchika in my mind but Haninozuka out there. Then something else occurred to me.

"Why were you guys at the karate club?"

Ootori answered my question. "We were looking for either Mori-senpai's or Honey-senpai's younger brother. Tamaki had planned a trip to a ramen shop with Haruhi randomly today (which also cut our income some since we had to close early), so we had to inform them of their older brother's lateness to home."

"Oh. Aren't you a bit late for the ramen shop then?"

Suoh came up to be and started rambling again.

"Didn't I tell you? Of course I could not abandon you-"

I sighed.

"It wouldn't be abandoning. Ami'll be here with me."

He just ignored me. I glared for a moment.

"Speaking of Ami," Kaoru started, "can I stop covering her eyes now?"

I replied, "Of course. You didn't have to for quite a while now."

Haninozuka faced me and asked, "Hako-chan? Why'd did Kao-chan have to cover Ami-chan's eyes?"

"She didn't tell you? Ami has hemophobia. Of course, there was blood on me right then, so I had to do something before she saw it. Knowing blood is there isn't the same as feeling blood or touching it," I explained.

I heard a voice call out my name. The nurse was finally here. I started to get off Takashi's lap (I was still there!), but he stopped me and carried me bridal style to the clinic. A bit annoyed at not being allowed to do some things myself, I bit my lip. Then I realized I hadn't called my parents to say that we would be late. After all, since today's Monday, we would be walking home. Who knows what could happen? Suddenly, Ootori appeared next to me.

"No need to worry."

He pushed up his glasses.

"I already informed your parents of your injuries. I also asked them not to blame Yasuchika for them either. Is that alright with you?"

"Ya. Sure."


After the nurse treated me, she told me to watch my step (Ootori told her that I fell down the stairs in order to stop blame from reaching Yasuchika. Who believes that excuse/reason anymore?) and bid me a good-bye. Thankfully, by then, Suoh had already left and so had the Hitachiins. Ami was still there talking with Morinozuka. A solemn-looking Yasuchika sat next to him. Haninozuka had stayed in the clinic with me, as had Takashi.

Speaking of Haninozuka, he was very clever this time around. He got me to finally start calling him by Honey.


Flashback

"Ah! Haninozuka-san! Why are you crying again?"

"Because I-I feel so guilty for getting Hako-chan hurt!"

I sighed. This again?

"But it's not your fault! It's your brother's!"

"Even so, I can't help but feel bad!"

"Then what can I do to make you feel better?"

He started smiling slyly.

"Call me Honey."


I sighed. I couldn't have held out much longer against him. He asked me a lot to call him Honey and used a lot of tactics too. Those well-thought out schemes just prove that he's super smart and a great tactician!

Ami spotted me heading towards them.

"Hako! Satoshi and Chika offered us a ride home!"

"Let me guess. You accepted already, didn't you?"

"Hai."

"There's no use rejecting then. Shall we leave? I still have homework to do."
