Sakura's POV:

I went to the library and stayed there. Oddly enough, the hostclub wasn't there and I didn't see them either in the hallways or outside in the school grounds as I walked here. It got me suspicious but I ignored the feeling since this is a good opportunity for me to be alone again and back to my previous routine. Though I knew that it was just temporary.

The butlers were already there and were surprised to see me. Though what surprised them this time is that I was late. I greeted them with a nod and they greeted me back. I walked up the set of stairs and went to the chair where I sat yesterday. I also took the same book I read yesterday and continued from where I stopped before.

Almost 20 minutes later, the loud chatterings of students invaded the peaceful silence of the room. I closed the book with a sigh and put it back to its rightful place on shelf. I took my bag and walked down the steps carefully. Ignoring the stares of the people below.

A butler opened the door for me and I nodded in thanks. He bowed as I went out. I went immediately to my classroom and waited there until the classes were about to start. Though when I walked inside, I didn't see the two. The said two referring to Kyoya and Tamaki. I felt myself smile a bit when I found out that they weren't going to come to the first class because of some 'club issues.'

I savored the self-time the hostclub gave me. But when my second class started, Kyoya and Tamaki came. Which caused me to feel dread and irritation form in myself. Tamaki sat on the seat beside me and I just ignored his watchful eyes, concentrating on the board and teacher in front of me.

At the end of the first array of classes, I took my lunch box out of my bag and I heard a few 'Waah! Look at the covering of Haruno-kun's lunch box. I bet his lunch was made by his girlfriend. I wonder,' and 'I never knew Haruno-kun had a girlfriend!'

'I don't have a girlfriend because I'm a girl and I don't fancy any boy right now. How many times do I have to repeat it?' I thought irrately. 'But then, they don't know I'm a girl so I have to get used to it,' I thought after. I sighed and opened the box containing the cupcakes kaa-san baked for me. My mental mouth watered a bit in anticipation as I opened the box and what greeted me were the cupcakes I have a wanted to taste for a while now.

I took one and was about to take a bite when a hand took it from mine. I glared at the thief and saw the twins. The Devil Twins, I might say in fact. The one holding it was Hikaru. The twin that I think is more childish than the other. Hikaru held Kaoru's chin in a way that was supposed to be intimate, if it isn't for the fact that they're both boys.

"Here, Kaoru. Say 'Aaah' and take a bite," Hiakru offered his twin in a voice that sounded very creepy to me. "Thank you, Hikaru. But you just took it from someone else's lunch box. I want something that Hikaru made by himself!" Kaoru replied with a pout and turning his face away from the cupcake as if adding a dramatic effect. At this, Hikaru faked a surpised expression and it soon turned into a grinning one.

Hikaru held his twin's hips tightly as if to show his possessiveness and threw the cupcake away! MY CUPCAKE! KAA-SAN'S HOMEMADE CUPCAKE! I held out my arm and tried to catch it. But it was out of my grasp. So it fell oh-so painstakingly slow on to the floor. Once the cupcake splattered into millions of particles, I stilled in shock.

I heard in the background, "You should have said that earlier then, so I could've made you something so sweet and tasty you wouldn't want anything else that's sweet from others," Hikaru's husky voice say. Hikaru's and Kaoru's chants of "Hikaru" and "Kaoru" consecutlively came after. Then I heard so many loud and high-pitched 'Kyaaa!'s that I think my ears are about to burst.

But all of that I easily heard and forgot. All I could think about was the dirty, uneaten cupcake that kaa-san made for me. "Please, princesses. Could you give us, the hostclub members and Haruno-kun, a short time of privacy. It is actually very important," I heard Tamaki say. And all the girls present in the room made sounds of 'Eeh?' and some 'Why? I want to know!' and others. But they were all interrupted by Kyoya speaking in an alluring voice, "Please, ladies. We would very much like to stay with you more but our first priority comes first. And that is to talk to Haruno-kun here. Could you please, forgive us and pardon our rudeness." I knew that Kyoya gave his 'cool' (not really) look at the girls after that. Since I heard the whole female population in the room sigh dazedly and give in.

Then a moment after that, the classroom was empty except for the hostclub members and me. "Hello, Fake. How ya doin'?" I heard Hikaru ask in front of me. "I'm not fine," I mumbled in reply to his question. It seems that he didn't hear it because he asked me again. Though this time, I didn't reply at all. I think it irked him and I felt a little bit of satisfaction from it.

I then heard some munching sound from my desk. I looked behind me and saw that the little twit of an upperclassman was eating MY cupcakes! I felt rage fill from within me but I held it back. I calmly asked Haninozuka, "Sempai. Please stop eating my cupcakes." "Hmmm? What? Can you say that again?" he asked me back. At this, I felt my rage multiply tenfold.

"Please stop eating my cupcakes," I repeated. But at the same time, I heard a loud burp come from the upperclassman. And all of my pent up anger burst out of the barrier keeping it under control.

I stood up. Shaking a bit from anger. "Eh? What's wrong, Fake Haruno?" I heard Kaoru, Tamaki, and Haninozuka ask at the same time. "I'm mad," I replied. And when I'm mad, I did the most sensible thing I always do. I kicked their butts.

In my mind, at least. I don't actually fight anyone whenever I get mad. The reason being the people I make a fight with always end up in the hospital almost cased in comatose causing kaa-san to make me join anger management classes. Literally. And it just made my anger management issues worse than making it better. But because of my resolve in not making kaa-san and the others worry about me, I got better in controlling my anger. So all's well.

"And what're you going to do about it? Huh, Fake Haruno?" Kaoru asked. I glared at him and turned around, wanting to see what's left of my cupcakes. Thankfully, there was still another one and I took it happily. I munched on it and it gave me goosebumps. But it was good goosebumps, not bad. It's what I always feel whenever I get to eat something so good it causes me to shake in glee. In other words, good food give me good goosebumps.

I finished it and licked my chocolate coated fingers. 'Hmmm. . . I think kaa-san put something in it. But what? I know that it's on the tip of my tongue,' I wondered thoughtfully. Then, finally remembering the dirty, fallen cupcake, I picked it up and put it back inside the lunch box. I won't dare throw it in the trash can in a place other than my mansion. It just makes me feel weird and inhumane.

At that moment, I felt someone hold my shoulders painfully tight and that person forcefully turned me around to face him. It was Mori. The giant. "Yes?" I inquired. I actually forgot about them during my 'eating-my-cupcake-for-lunch-version-only' moment. "We were talking to you and how dare you ignore us!" I heard from somewhere up.

I looked beyond Mori's huge form and saw Haninozuka sitting on his shoulders. "I was just eating my cupcake, Haninozuka-san," I stated blankly. "Well, you could've eaten a while ago before we went in," was the all-knowing answer of the all-knowing leader of the gang, Tamaki-tan. 'Banzai! Tamaki-tan is so great! Tch! You freaking kidding me?!' I thought in my mind.

"Well. I could've eaten it when Hikaru didn't just interrupt my lunch time by taking it and offering it to his little Kaoru then throwing it on the floor when Kaoru just flat out refused it. Well, yeah Mr. Genius," I answered hotly. Seriously, they're getting on my nerves more and more every freaking school day.

"Heeh. . . . I never thought you had the guts to fight back and bark at us, Fake Haruno-san. And look at you now. You're finally showing your true colors," Kyoya stated as he adjusted his glasses. I sighed an exasperated sigh and looked at them straight in the eye. 'Now is my chance to act out my idea,' I thought with disdain.

"Hey. Can I ask you a request?" I asked, back to my polite self. At this, Tamaki said, "And what would make you ask a request from us at this time?" I shrugged and answered, "I was just told by Sakura to join your club so that It'd be easier for all of you to watch all my moves."

They looked at each other then to Tamaki. He sighed and put his hands on his waist. He looked at me and said, "On one condition." I nodded for him to continue. "You are to take off your cap and we'll see what's on your head," he said. "Unless your wearing a wig that's stuck to that cap of yours," Hikaru added and he, Kaoru, and Haninozuka laughed. "That was funny! Right, Takeshi?" Haninozuka exclaimed. "Hm," was Mori's confirmation to Haninozuka's question.

I wasn't actually surprised at this kind of condition. It was actually what I expected. I nodded and warned them, "Alright. But don't be too surprised 'cause it's gonna be the best moment of your life. To see who this person you call Fake Haruno truly is." And with a smirk, I slowly took my cap off of my head.

But the bell rang just as I was about to take it off. I stopped and just shrugged while saying, "We can continue this later. Classes are about to start. See you later, Sempai and Kohai-tachi. A little suspense doesn't do one wrong." I turned around and walked to the door to open them. Once done with the task, I went to my seat and stayed there, happily ignoring the fact that the whole hostclub was glaring at me.

When classes started and my two enemy classmates were seated, nothing much happened. That is until they ended. I was packing my bag when Tamaki and Kyoya called me. I looked at them and they gestured for me to follow them. I nodded and swung my bag over my shoulder. I followed them.

And as we walked, I heard some whispering from the girls that we encounter at the hallways. 'Waah! I wonder if they're recruting Haruno-kun? They're all so handsome! Kya!' was what most of them would say. As I usually do, I ignored them and their conversations.

Then, we reached the III Music Room. I walked in with them and once inside, the door was closed. I glanced behind me then I looked at the people in front of me. They were all seated and I was the only one left standing awkwardly in front of them. I stayed there looking at them until Kyoya spoke. "Will you please continue what you were supposed to do before in the classroom?" he asked me. I nodded and put my bag on the floor.

I held my cap and took it off. Bowing immediately at the end. Hearing loud gasps from the members of the hostclub that has been annoying me for my first school week. And it felt GOOD. I straightened myself then stared at them with my hands on my waist and my lips turning for a smirk.

"Wha. . . . " they all started but I interrupted them. "Hello. I'm Sakura Haruno of the Haruno manor. Daughter of Saku Haruno and Maki Haruno. It is great to be of your acquaintance," I said with an old, traditional, Japanese bow.

When I straightened my back, their mouths were still agape. I gave them a two-fingered salute and took my bag before walking out of the music room. I walked out of the school hallways and into the school grounds. And as I did so, I took my phone and dialled Zabuza-san's number. After two rings, he answered. "Hello. Sakura-sama," he started. "Hello, Zabuza-san. I'm done here. I want to go home. Are you able to come here and take me home?" I asked. "I am already here, Sakura-sama," he answered then ended the call.

Confused, I hurried to the school gates and when I reached them, I looked from left to right. And there on my right, is the car of my chauffeur. Said man leaning coolly on the car's door. I waved to him and he waved back. I jogged up to him and asked, "Did you wait for me?" He nodded in reply and asked again, "For how long?" "I arrived just now, Sakura-sama. Right after taking your siblings home," was his answer. I nodded, satisfied, and walked to the door of the backseat. Zabuza-san opened it and I went in.

He closed the door and walked to the driver's seat. He started the engine after getting in and drove off out of the school's property. A while later, the car drove past the gates of the Haruno estate. When the car stopped in front of Rei-san, said man opened the door on my right and helped me step out. I thanked him and took off my cap. I wore it as I walked out of school.

I swung my bag over my shoulder and sighed, trying to ready myself for the bunch of questions my little brothers will ask later on. Then I walked up the steps and let Rei-san open the door for me. "They aren't mad at you. They are just worried about you, Sakura-sama," Rei-san said. I looked up at him and he nodded with a smile. I smiled back and thanked him again. I walked in, took my shoes off and went to my room.

My little babies didn't greet me at all in the hallway. 'I'll just go to their room then,' I thought. When I reached the door to my room, I opened it and went in. I turned around to close the door then I walked to my bed. And what greeted me were the faces of my sleeping little babies. Still wearing their uniforms. 'Jeez. They're gonna catch a cold,' I thought with a huff.

But I shook my head with a slight smile. 'They really were worried. To the point that they'd go to my room without permission and just sleep with their uniforms on,' I thought in my mind. "Seriously?" I mumbled. I sighed and covered them with my blanket. They were actually sprawled out on my bed without getting under the covers. But I noticed, they were holding their plushies to their chests.

I took my change of clothes from my closet and went to the bathroom. I can't change in front of my brothers, even if they are asleep. They're still boys after all. Boys that are still too innocent to look at a girl's undressed body.

I changed into a pair of pajamas. A long-sleeved cotton blouse and cotton pants that reaches up to the half of my legs. I stepped out of the bathroom and went to my little brothers. They were still asleep, I see. I then took the liberty of going to their room and getting their clothes from their closets. When I got back from the little chore, the boys were already awake. Though still a bit sleepy.

"Goodmorning! How was your sleep, boys?" I asked cheerfully. "Nee-chan!" they all exclaimed happily. And together they stumbled and rolled and ran up to me. They clung to my legs as they chanted 'I missed you's and 'We missed you's. I was still holding their change of clothes though, so I can't bend to their height and hug them back. "Yes. Yes. I missed you, too. But it didn't actually have to be this exaggerated, you know. I was just home late because of school," I told them. "Just say that you were actually bullied by those jerks!" Naruto shouted, still clinging to my leg.

"Naruto. Didn't I tell you to not say such words? Do you want me angry? Because if you repeat this mistake again, I'll get mad and punish you. You shouldn't be saying such things. If you hear them from your group of friends, don't try to copy what they say, okay? That goes for you, too. Sasuke. Sai," I scolded them. I never add suffixes to their names whenever I'm serious about something, such as this.

"Yes, nee-chan," they answered sullenly. Their grip tightening even more. I sighed and told them to let go for a bit. They did and I walked to my bed. I sat and set the pile of folded clothes in the futon. I gestured for them to come to me. Once they were all at an arm's reach, I took the clothing that was on the very top of the pile and looked at it. It was Sasuke's. I called him and told him to take off his clothes.

He did but with a little blush on his cheeks. 'How cute. Even the blank little Sasu-chan blushes,' I thought with a smile. Once his underwear is the only thing left on him, I told him to 'Reach the ceiling!' making him hold his hands up. I then helped him dress into his pajama shirt. Next was his pants. I then took another peice of clothing from the folded pile on my bed and looked at it. It was Naruto's. I gestured for him and he stepped up. Without me saying it, he already took his clothes off except his underwear. He also held his arms up over his head in a super cute way. I helped him dress into his pajama shirt and pants.

And the last was Sai. He walked up with only his underwear on. But he had a tint of pink on his cheeks. I smiled and said, "Try to reach the ceiling, Sai-chan." He held his hands up and I helped him dress up. When he was already in his pajamas, he went to his plushie and held it. Then I saw him pick up his uniform from the floor. He ran up to me and gestured that I carry him. I looked at the twins and saw that they were also holding their plushies and their uniforms. I smiled.

I carried Sai up and held him. "Come on," I said. I opened the door and the first thing I see is a maid. "Your grandparents are here, Sakura-sama. And they wanted to see you and the young masters," she told me. I nodded and dismissed her. "Well? Let's hurry and put this in the laundry room before going to the living room to see Granny and Grandpa then," I said to my brothers with a grin. They grinned back. And we went to the laundry room then to living room after.
