We all headed into the kitchen area of the host club and as I was promised everything I needed was there; Vases, pruning shears etc (not about to list it all) I began sorting all of the flowers we cut into different bunches; as I did this I asked Mori to fill the vases half way full with water, Hunny was to put the formula into the vases for helping cut flowers to live longer.
"Alright me and Haruhi will put the flowers into the vases and you two will pass us the flowers " I began but was cut off by Mori saying "No, I will put them in so you don't hurt your hands any more than they are, just tell me where to put each flower" in a serious tone
I smiled up at him nodding my head in agreement "alright; well here is what the arrangements are suppose to look like. Hunny and I will pass you two the flowers and you place them. But I will fidget with the arrangements after because that is just the way I am." I said to Mori while showing a picture of what I wanted the arrangement to look like; he just nodded understanding that I wanted to play with the arrangement afterward.
We spent the next couple of hours arranging the flowers; we were all having fun and the boys (except for Haruhi who is a girl. I have no idea how the customers don't notice this) They enjoyed learning about the flowers and Hunny enjoyed smelling them especially since some of them smelled like the sweets he loved to eat so much.
FF 2 hours later
The club had just closed and I was still fidgeting with the arrangements something just wasn't right; I couldn't put my finger on what it was that was missing from the arrangement.
"arg what is the matter with the arrangements?" I asked aloud to no one in particular
"It needs another color"? I turned around and saw Mori standing in the door way to kitchen area where I was working
"But what color, I've been staring at them so long I can't think of one" I said, I was becoming very frustrated with myself and this project. I was losing hope of figuring out what color it was that I needed and which flower I needed. But I knew had to figure out what it was that I needed, so I began going through all the flowers the Gardening Club had.
"How about these flowers?" I heard Mori say from behind me, I turned around and he handed me a bundle of white Iris'
"THERE PERFECT!" I said in glee and hugged Mori, without thinking anything of this action. I took the Iris' from him and began placing them throughout the arrangements.
As soon as I was finished, I stood back and had a huge smile on my face. "thank you again Mori" I side hugged him and turned and saw Hunny eating his cake and went over and hugged him too:
"Thank you for your help today Hunny" I said
"Thank you Haruhi" I said while walking over to her
"Now since there are no customers I would like to know; why is Haruhi working here since she is clearly a girl?" I asked
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HARUHI IS NOT A GIRL" Tamaki said while flaying his arms and around and telling 'mommy' that I was wrong and so on and so forth
"Haruhi is a girl, I remember because before she started her she was given a tour of the school and that included the gardens. I remember the people who are nice and don't just traipse through the gardens with no care as to what damage they did." I said flatly
"Tamaki stop, it is obvious we cannot fool Sakura. Sakura I can trust you not to speak of this to any one?" Kyoya asked
"Of course you can," I said with a smile "Oh dear look at the time. I must get home. Well goodbye everyone, see you tomorrow," I said with a bow and left
It was now Saturday; they remainder of the school week (Thursday and Friday) went by uneventful, I was glad it was the weekend that meant no homework and I could rest quietly at home. I decided I would play the violin:
Butterfly Lover - please listen it's very beautiful :D
I placed in a CD that had the other instruments for this song on it and I played the violin part. I began playing and instantly I was in my zone I block out everything and do not notice a thing happening around me.
HOST CLUB
"Alright let's GO TO THE BEACH," Tamaki said aloud
"Can Sakura come?" Hunny asked
"Certainly Sakura can come, it will be good for Haruhi, she will develop a more feminized side" Tamaki said while day dreaming of Haruhi in a dress
the Host club all jumped in the limo and headed towards Sakura's home Tamaki was arguing with the twins over how to dress Haruhi, Kyoya was playing with figures for the club, Hunny was talking lively to Bun Bun about Sakura and what her home would look like Mori sat back silently watching all of this unfold around him.
After a little while Kyoya spoke up saying, "were here"
"WE ARE" Hunny said while plastering his face to the limo window "Takashi those are the flower Sakura loves there everywhere" he added
"As are Sakura Trees they line the driveway up to the house," Haruhi added
"It's beautiful," Tamaki said
the twins and Mori all nodded in agreement Kyoya just smiled at the view.
As the finally came to the front door of the house they all got out and could hear beautiful music filling the air, they looked around a noticed a figure in the window playing
"that sounds beautiful. Is it Sakura?" Haruhi asked
"Not sure?" Kyoya asked
the host club came inside and saw Sakura playing a maid came up to them and said
"Please don't make any noise, just sit and listen. Sakura will not mind if you listen."
They all sat down and listened to Sakura play.
"She's good," Hunny said to Mori quietly
Mori nodded in agreement to Hunny.
Mori's POV
I sat back and listened to Sakura play, I was trying to figure out what song it was and was having a difficult time at it. Haruhi whispered to Tamaki asking him if it was Butterfly Lovers and he just nodded back.
We all continued listening to Sakura; I became entranced in what she was playing; she played the music with such passion and love for the music. I noticed a number of the staff standing back outside of the room watching Sakura play. I returned my gaze back to Sakura and continued watching her as she played.
"I wonder how long she's been playing." Hunny asked me quietly; one of the staff must have heard and told us
"Her mother taught her before she died and since then Sakura has made it a tradition to always play this song sometime on the weekend. It was her mother's favorite pieces of music" she told us
I just nodded as did Hunny in response to this.
Sakura's POV
I finished playing the music and was greeted with an applause, I turned around and saw the entire host club sitting in my living room listening to me. I bowed and thanked them and then asked
"What do I owe the pleasure of your company?"
"We came to see if you would like to come to the Beach with us today?" Hunny said very lively
"I would love to Hunny" I said sweetly "I'll be right back just let me get my stuff for the beach" I added as I left the room.
I began up the stairs to my bedroom
I went inside my walk in closet and grabbed my swim suit and everything else I would normally need for the beach.
I went and got changed into my swim suit and put on some regular cloths
At the Beach
We arrived at the "Beach" I was quite puzzled as to why we are at one of the Ootori families medical recuperation places.
"May I ask why we are here?" I asked
"We are testing my families' latest recuperation place," Kyoya said flatly
"I see, that is fine, I was just curious," I said
We came inside and instantly I was in love with the sight. I saw Haruhi being taken over to a little for changing hut and all I could see were swimsuits and LOADS of them
They picked up Haruhi. And from here I could hear the twins and many of the other host discussing and looking at the swimsuits, trying to decide which one would be best suited for Haruhi.
"With Haruhi's flat chest she can fool everyone she's a guy," Hikaru said and a sign appeared with the words that Read: Miss A-cup. Behind Haruhi
'How do they know her size?' I thought to myself
never mind I don't want to know. I thought
"Having her wear a one piece will show her meagre size. So with this two-piece with the ruffles will hide her lack of assets." Kaoru said
Haruhi's suit was a light sakura color two piece. Three tiers of ruffles were on the top and the bottom had dark magenta strings at the side.
I could see that Tamaki was in his fantasy world and I could only imagine what he was thinking.
All the sudden, Tamaki appears swinging a baseball bat and knocking a ball out of the stadium. He went after the twins yelling at them
"How dare you two keep sexually harassing my precious daughter! That's ENOUGH!"
I saw Hunny playing in a wave pool across from me! "Let's play!" he yelled towards me
"No thanks Hunny. I don't feel like swimming today."
"Hunny-kun I thought you didn't know how to swim?"
"I don't. Because, isn't this cuter?"
He wagged his inner tube a bit and a background of bunnies and bubbles appear.
"How innocent." the twins remarked.
Later on in the afternoon Hunny came over and:
Come on Sakura-chan!" Hunny chirped.
You nodded. You pulled of your shorts and left them on the lounge chair.
You jumped in, causing Takashi and Hunny to get soaked. You popped up and began to float on your back, lazily kicking to keep up with Takashi. The current was very slow.
"What's new?" You said beside Takashi.
"Come on Sakura-chan, let's play in the waves!" Waves gently lulled you and Hunny.
" 'kay! Hunny-kun, want me to teach you how to ride waves?"
"Hai!" Right on que, a medium sized wave came and crashed on you and Hunny.
You laughed.
"That was unexpected right Hunny? Hunny? Hunny?" you looked franticly.
"Here..." Hunny was behind you with swirls in his eyes.
"You ready Hunny. When I say go, I want you to jump as far and high as you can."
He nodded.
THUNK
Tamaki went splat against the totem pole.
Beep
"Nani?" The small wave stopped in mid crash. It was calm. Too calm.
Takashi dropped his glass, the glass soared over the tile, landing with a clank. You looked and saw a small innocent wave form.
Let's just say that wave wasn't so innocent.
It grew bigger, stronger, faster. It was about 10x as fast, strong, and powerful than a normal wave.
"MITISUKUNI! SAKURA!" Takashi ran toward you, but a random banana peel was thrown in front of him. He crashed down hard onto the tile.
You grabbed Hunny and threw him across the pool just as the wave crashed down.
"SAKURA-CHAN!" he lost his bunny inner tube but he didn't seem to notice.
"DASKETE!" you screamed at the top of your lungs as the waved crashed down on you, crippling you momentarily.
You were washed away with the water, spinning and twirling against your will. The salt water shot up your nose. A burning sensation burned your nose and eyes. You felt tears water from the burn. Water pounded against your skin and body, tugging at your limbs, body and bathing suit. Your hair was yanked around. Your right arm was smashed and scrapped against the rough bottom, giving you a long cut. Salt enter your open wound, setting it aflame. Your lungs were burning from lack of oxygen. You tried to swim up, but water kept knocking you down. A surge of water forced you up and you gasped for air. The water violently tugged and thrashed you around. Making a desperate move, you grabbed onto a vine. You were able to pull yourself up it, only your feet were dangling in the water. Gasping for air, you watched the once quiet gentle water churn and groan, turning into rapids.
Host Club's POV
After Sakura threw Hunny, the wave was very close to catching him, but not close enough. He crashed into Takashi who was able to get up again. They both fell with a clash. Takashi looked at his cousin then at then pool. He soon realized Sakura threw Hunny to get him out of the way.
"DASKETE!" Sakura screamed before the wave claimed her.
"SAKURA!" Takashi was bout to jump in when-
"Don't Takashi. If we lose you too, Sakura has no hope." Hunny said
Takashi looked like he still was going to jump but took a deep breath. He nodded, returning back to his normal emotionless face.
"Everyone! Let's go after Sakura-senpai! There's a shortcut" The crew followed Tamaki's lead.
"Wait, that's the-" Kyoya
"AHHHHHHH!" they ran as crocodiles snapped at their ankles.
"Hmmm, breeding crocodiles aren't a good idea. I have to tell the construction crew..." Kyoya said to no one in particular.
"This place is really like a jungle." Tamaki commented as they went further and further threw the thicket.
'Mori-senpai doesn't have a trace of any emotion on his face. I could have sworn I saw him look worry on but-' Haruhi thought.
THUD
Another random banana was put infront of Takashi.
"Is Mori-senpai becoming clumsy like to no?" Hikaru and Kaoru speculated.
"HEY! WHAT"S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" Tamaki thundered.
"Squall time." Kyoya said
We all ran for cover.
Kyoya called in his security team back at his main house to cam and look for Sakura in the recuperation center.
Sakura's POV
You were washed up shore. You crawled onto the sandy beaches. You coughed out seawater and collapsed. Your right arm was scratched up from the bottom. It was not deep, but long and it was bleeding. Panting, you clutched your arm. It burned with vengeance from all the saltwater pouring into it. You felt battered and bruised.
"Oaf." you flipped over so your back was on the ground. Your stomach churned from unwanted fluids in it.
"I-can't-must" you passed out from exhaustion.
Drops fell on your face.
"Hmmm?" you said groggily. You sat up and looked up.
Plop Plop PlobPlobPlobPlob
It soon became a downpour. You rubbed your eyes. You stood-up, still sore from the encounter with the river. You began to walk.
'Hmmm...If I follow the river, I should find someone...I hope everyone's okay' you thought as you walked threw the rain.
I walked for a very long time and then I finally found Takashi and Haruhi and then suddenly we were surrounded by guards that belonged the Ootori family
The twitch came again, this time from your stomach.
'Nani? What was that? Oh! I must have drank too much salt water.'
The guards were stunned.
"What are you doing? Get her!" one the men yelled
I smirked. Haruhi and Takashi were watching.
I ran toward the person, your bamboo stick forward. You went to hit him when- he caught it and said
"Hahaha! You have to do better then that girly!" the guard laugh.
I smirked at his comment. I then kicked him in the stomach with your remaining foot. Which sent him flying into a number of the other guards and they were all knocked out instantly.
"Huh-" one of the other guards said,
"Get her!" a whole bunch of guards circled around you. I lunged toward one of the guards, hooking the bamboo weapon around his waist. I lifted him off the ground and swung him and the weapon, causing the rest of the guards to fall down from the impact.
Haruhi was put down. And Takashi decided to help me finish of the guards
"Wha-"
The last guard came out you. I swung the sword I had at him, he grabbed your sword.
"Have to do better than that." He said
You kicked and he caught your leg.
"I got you." you smirked evilly.
"Wrong! Bye bye mister! It was fun playing."
"What do you mea-"
CRASH!
I bent backwards, flipping yourself so the guard (who was still holding your leg) flew over too. His human instinct made him let go and he crashed, legs first into a tree, breaking two thick trees.
"Humph! That is what you get for calling me girly. No one hurts my friends either."
"Haruhi!" Tamaki called.
"Hey!" I waved, with blood still dripping from the open wound.
"Sakura." Hunny yelled and ran towards me and leaped into my arms hugging me
"I missed you so much Haruhi!" Tamaki said hugged Haruhi.
Hunny accidentally touched your right arm.
"Ow." you whimpered.
"Sakura." Takashi sprinted toward you.
Hunny got down instantly and looked at the cut on my arm and frowned
Takashi looked down also and frowned also, Takashi lifted me up and carried me bridal style, I tried telling him I was fine, and I could walk all the back to the main area; but he just gave me a look telling he was not giving in and would carry me all the way back. I just sighed and gave in.
" Sakura -chan!" Hunny scooted up Takashi and sat on his shoulder. He hugged me.
"Thank goodness you're alright!" He touched your right arm again and you winced.
"What happen to them?" Hikaru and Kaoru began to poke the guards.
"Sakura. She went easy on them." Takashi said simply, as if this was a well known fact among every one. I just smiled and waved shyly at everyone not use to this much attention
"N-Nani? She went-" Tamaki sputtered out
"Hunny-kun is also the best of his family and is a national karate and judo champion Sakura is second to him and Morin-senpai is the National Kendo Champion, right before Sakura." Kyoya explained for everyone. The host club blanched and this new found fact and the Ootori guards all bowed respectively for all of us
"We are humble in all three of your presence. We did not know we were fighting Miyazakai-sama and Morinozuka-sama. Please forgive our rudeness."
"That's ok!" you said cheerfully.
Your face turned dark.
"But next time you call me girly, I will not hold back."
"H-Hai."
"It has been an honor to fight with both of you."
You all returned back to the main area of the oasis / recuperation place
You bit your lip as Takashi washed out the cut. It wasn't that bad, it just bled a lot.
He swabbed on some cream with the upmost care. He took a roll of bandage and began to wrap your entire arm.
"Why Takashi?"
he just looked at you with a questioning stare to your question
"Why are you doing this? Not that I mind but-"
"you are a friend"
You slightly gasped as he looked at you. A warm sensation floated over you. You gave a bright smile. You couldn't believe it someone from Ouran Academy called you their friend.
"Arigato Takashi-kun." You told him with a warm smile
He returned it.
