We were currently at the hosting room. Hosting time is now done, so we decided to relax first before going home. Haru-chan was studying at a table when suddenly the twins whispered her about something.
"The beach?" Haru-chan asked.
"Yes, the beach!" The twins chorused.
"The beach…" I said as I trailed off. Well, they did mention on going to the beach next.
"You said so before, didn't you?" Hika-chan started.
"You wouldn't mind going to the beach." Kao-chan finished.
"Did I say that?" Haru-chan asked. Well, you sorta did.
The twins looked at her with a poker face. "Yes, you did. And so…" They both trailed off. They then showed her a swimsuit that was in the middle of the other swimsuits. Wow, I haven't noticed that yet. "…we've prepared some swimsuits for you." Hika-chan continued.
"Isn't it cute?" Kao-chan added.
Honey suddenly chimed in. "I think…" He then showed a mannequin with a blue one-piece swimsuit in it. "…that this would look good on Haru-chan." Sigh, thank goodness they didn't add me. I'm safe.
The twins waved their fingers. "You don't get it, huh, Honey-senpai?"
"Huh?" Honey looked at them with a confused expression.
The twins suddenly picked up Haru-chan by holding her under her arms, with Haru-chan hanging. "Just wearing this uniform helps to gloss over the fact that she's as flat as a cutting board." Hika-chan started.
"A one-piece type suit like that would only invite tears, by making it obvious how utterly poor her figure is." Kao-chan finished.
Honey was gripping the mannequin tightly. I decided to spoke up. "Well, the twins are right. Since Haru-chan's an A-cup, she might need some frills to cover her chest."
The twins and Honey looked at me for a second before the twins gave me a mischievous smile. They then went to Honey and got the mannequin.
"And think again, Honey-senpai…" Hika-chan started.
"…this one-piece suit would look good on Kairi-senpai." Kao-chan started.
My eyes went wide and I waved my hands frantically. "No way! I'm also flat as a cutting board!"
The twins stuck up their tongues at me. "Yes way, Kairi-senpai."
"Actually, the last time we went to Kyōya-senpai's family's jungle pool…" Hika-chan started.
"…it's so clear that you are not just an A-cup." Kao-chan finished.
"You're actually a C-cup!" The twins chorused as they pointed at me.
I blushed. Why the heck would they know my size? This is so embarrassing.
The twins went close to me and were still smiling mischievously. "It's so odd to have that kind of size, but oh well. So that's where all the sweets go." They both chorused while grinning widely.
My blush darkened. "Kyaa! Perverts!" I squeaked as I ran towards Haru-chan. I then looked at her with puppy eyes. "Haru-chan, I'm not gonna wear that, right?"
She looked at me apologetically. "Ask the three of them that question."
I looked at the twins. They just smiled mischievously while shaking their heads. I then looked at Honey. He stared back at me.
"What is it, Kai-chan?" He asked innocently.
I gave him a 'you-know-what-I-mean' look. He just gave me a flowery smile.
"Kai-chan, I don't know what you're talking about." He said as he gave me a mischievous look.
Ugh. "I'm not gonna wear that, right?" I said as I pointed the mannequin with the hideous swimsuit in it.
He just smiled ever-so-brightly. "Oh, why not? There's completely nothing wrong in wearing it, right Hika-chan and Kao-chan?"
The twins then went to Honey and gave me an evil smile. First mischievous, then evil? This is no good at all. "Yes, you're right, Honey-senpai. Completely nothing wrong at all."
"No way in hell, perverts." I said as I gripped Isa-chan who was there the whole time tightly.
~.^.^.~
In the end, I got to wear the swimsuit, because they told Kyō-chan about it. He agreed immediately and looked at me with a creepy smile, so I immediately nodded vigorously, with the perverts cheering hooray. Tama-chan even thought it was a great idea, because it would 'make Haruhi wake up and have some more feminine sense'. Takashi was just following Honey, while Haru-chan just looked at me apologetically. She even didn't wear one! What great friends we are.
And you know what? We also happen to have hosting time today.
"Tamaki-kun, being alone with you, looking at the sea, is like a dream." A guest said as she and Tama-chan were sitting at a rock together.
"It's no dream. But if I could have my own way," He paused as he went closer to the girl's face. "I'd wish I could appear in your dreams tonight."
"Tamaki-kun…" The girl said as she blushed.
I then looked at the twins. Their guests and they were playing beach volleyball. Then, Hika-chan threw the ball far away.
"Take it easy, Hikaru!" Kao-chan said as he went after the ball.
"Sorry, I'll get it!" Hika-chan said as he also went after the ball. "Wait for me, Kaoru!" Or maybe after Kaoru.
"It's not me! The ball's running away!" Kao-chan yelled as he looked at Hika-chan and continued to run.
Their guests were squealing. I quickly turned away, afraid of what I might see next.
I looked back at Haru-chan, who was sitting under another umbrella. She seems to be talking to her guests. I sighed as I continued to cover my body. It's a good thing no one requested me yet.
"Hey, Kairi! What are you doing here? You should enjoy the sun." A voice suddenly said. When I turned around, I inwardly sighed.
Speak of the devil. I just smiled. "No, I'm actually happy already here, Roshi-chan."
Roshi-chan, my regular costumer, sat next to me. "Why are you covering your body?"
I blushed. I covered my body further. "I don't want to people to see my body. It's hideous." And I don't want Honey and the twins smiling mischievously/evilly at me.
He laughed. "Why? Are you afraid that someone will see your hidden fats?"
I frowned while pouting. "No, I'm not! I just don't want to expose myself, that's all."
He stared at me for a moment before standing up and holding my hand. I blushed at the sudden contact. It was a good thing he didn't notice.
I looked at him. "Where are we going, Roshi-chan?"
"How about let's go take a swim? In that way, you won't be bored here all day long." He said as he looked at me.
I smiled. He's so thoughtful. "Are you sure?"
He nodded. "Yes, I am, thin little pig."
I pouted. "That's mean. But let's go!" I said as I stood up.
Suddenly, he carried me bridal style. I squeaked. "Eek! Why are you doing this?!"
He laughed as he walked towards the shore. "I'm planning something."
"What is your plan?" I was thinking hard before my eyes widen in realization. "Oh no, don't even think about it."
He began to walk faster. "What do you mean, Kairi?" He looked at me with an innocent look.
"Don't play innocent with me, Roshi-chan; put me down now." I said as I tried to struggle free, but to no avail.
"What if I don't want to?"
"Ugh. Just put me down!"
"Alright then! Brace yourself!" He said as he threw me to the water.
"Kyaaa!" I screamed as I splashed into the water. Roshi-chan was already laughing his head off. I immediately thought of something. I threw him some wet sand. It hit accurately at his face. It was my turn to laugh my head off.
He quickly removed the sand from his face and also threw me some wet sand which I swiftly avoided. I stuck up my tongue at him. "Try throwing one at me!"
"Challenge accepted!" He replied as he threw me a lot of wet sand. It hit my hair.
I screamed. I hate it when something is in my hair. I removed the sand from my hair immediately. I suddenly ran after him. "Don't hit my hair!"
He ran away immediately. After a few moments, he was tired. He was panting and was facing me while backing away instead. Hehe, this is my chance. I already held his left arm and was about to grab him to me when he tripped into a shell, bringing me with him.
The next thing I knew, I was on top on him, with my chest pressing at his.
I immediately blushed and sat up straight. "I'm sorry!"
He was also happened to be blushing. "N-no! It's my fault; I tripped into something."
"I'm also sorry for chasing you!"
"Sorry for throwing sand in your hair!"
"I'm sorry for pressing my chest into yours! It's was an accident; I promise!"
"Sorry for- what?" He stopped as he looked at me. Then at my chest. Then at me again. He then blushed.
"I'm s-sorry!" He quickly blurted out.
Suddenly, I heard someone clear their throat. When I looked up, I saw Honey with his hand held out.
"You might want to get off him right now." He said with an oddly strained smile.
"Oh! Honey!" I said with a nervous laugh as I took his hand and got up. Roshi-chan also immediately got up and bowed at me.
"Kairi! So sorry!" He then looked at Honey before running away. "S-see you soon!" He yelled as he ran away. Hmm, he's never like that to me before.
"Sure thing, Roshi-chan!" I yelled back. When he was nowhere to be seen, I looked at Honey. I thought that he was having an expressionless face at where Roshi-chan ran for a second before he finally gave his flowery smile.
"Kai-chan, wanna go shellfish hunting? Haru-chan's already picking up a lot of them!" He said while pointing at Haru-chan, who was indeed, picking a lot of them.
I laughed. "She really loves seafood." I then turned at Honey. "Let's go!"
He smiled brightly. "Okay!" With that, we ran towards Haru-chan, who was frantically picking up the shellfishes.
"Amazing! What a haul!" Honey exclaimed when we arrived at Haru-chan.
"We're going to have a fancy side dish tonight!" She said as she continued to fill up her bucket.
"Haru-chan! Let me join in!" I said as I also picked up a bucket and started collecting. Honey also did the same.
"Okay! It's going to be more delicious when there's a lot of it!" She replied with a very happy face. Wow, she must be brimming with happiness right now.
Suddenly, Tama-chan appeared. "Well, the three of you look like you're enjoying yourselves, so I guess it's alright." After he said that, Takashi jumped down from a rock. He was up there all the time?!
"Senpai!" Haru-chan suddenly yelled. "We're going to have a big haul for tonight's supper!" She continued to yell while waving her hands.
"You did, you did, my little girl?" Tama-chan said as he placed his hands at his face. Wow, so now there are already two of them brimming with happiness right now.
"A big haul! A big haul!" Haru-chan continued to yell, causing the other guests and the twins to notice and come near us.
"Huh? What was that?" The twins both chorused.
"Tonight's supper is going to be a real treat!" She continued to yell again as she waved her hands.
I then went close to Haru-chan and also cheered. "Uh huh! It's going to be very delicious!"
Suddenly, Tama-chan went to us while holding a crab. "What do you think, Haruhi and onee-chan? Do you find this large crab to be… crab-tivating?"
I smiled. "What a great pun, Tama-chan!"
Haru-chan looked at him before smiling. "Yes."
Tama-chan blushed. "How cute!" Suddenly, something crawled from the crab. The others stiffened.
"Cen…"
"…ti…"
"…pede!" With that, everybody ran except for me, Haru-chan and Tama-chan. We just had poker faces.
While Tama-chan was crying, Haru-chan picked up the centipede. She was planning to throw it!
Before she had the chance to throw it, I immediately got the centipede from her hands. "No! Don't throw it!" I looked at centipede that was in my hands. I petted it. "It might die."
The twins immediately placed their arms at my shoulders. "Hey, Kairi-senpai, do you love bugs?" They both chorused.
I shook my head. "No, I don't. But that doesn't mean it should die, right? And besides, why not just place it back from where it came from?" I walked away from them and placed the centipede under the big rocks. "Like here, for instance." I said as I released the centipede from my hands.
Suddenly the guests went towards us. "Haruhi-kun is so manly."
"Kairi-chan really loves animals!"
"And yet, the both of them are nice, huh?"
"Fantastic!" All of the guests squealed. Haru-chan and I sweatdropped. The twins scooted over to Tama-chan, who was shocked. I can't hear the rest of their conversation because I was talking to the guests.
~.^.^.~
(3rd Person POV: Start)
"Well, okay, fine." Hikaru started.
"Usually though, girls react quite differently." Kaoru finished.
"Isn't there anything that the both of them are afraid of?" Tamaki said, still holding the crab.
Suddenly, the twins had light bulbs in their heads. "Tono! Tono!" Tamaki looked at them.
"We just thought up a fun game. Want to play?" They both chorused. "We call it… the 'Who can find Haruhi and Kairi-senpai's Weakness?' game!"
Tamaki raised an eyebrow. "What an awful-sounding game."
The twins walked away from Tamaki. "Yeah, you're probably right. They'd only show their weakness to someone they were close to, and all."
"What are the rules?!" Tamaki suddenly yelled.
The twins looked back at him. "That's more like it! The deadline is tomorrow at sunset. Whoever finds out what their weakness is first, wins."
Honey suddenly appeared with Takashi. "We wanna join! We wanna join!"
"Ah." Takashi added.
Suddenly, Kyō-chan appeared with light glinting from his glasses. "I will give whoever wins a prize." He then held out six pictures of Haruhi and Kairi. There were three pictures of Haruhi. One was when she was at elementary school, while the second picture is at a school sports fest. The last picture was her in her middle school uniform while reciting something. Kairi also had three pictures. The first one was when she was in her middle school uniform. The second one was when she was swimming at a swimming contest. The third one was the same picture that Tamaki showed all of them in a laptop.
Honey, Tamaki and the twins stiffened.
"So, it's a deal then." Kyōya stated as he moved the pictures away from Tamaki, who was trying his best to reach for it.
"But Kyō-chan, how is it that you have those photos?" Honey asked as he recovered from his stiffened state.
"I have my sources. Why don't we leave it at that?" Kyōya replied.
(3rd Person POV: End)
~.^.^.~
It was weird that the twins brought Haru-chan and I with their guests. We were currently at a very dark cave. It was a good thing the twins brought in flashlights, because some might accidentally trip here.
"This place here…" Kao-chan started.
"…is said to be a paranormal spot, which not even the locals will come very often." Hika-chan finished. Well of course they won't come; it's so freaking slippery here.
"It's a cave that only shows itself at low tide." Kao-chan stated. What a great fact. Where did they learn all of this stuff?
"Up to now, they say that a lot of people drowned down here." He continued. Well, for the people who have died here, may your souls rest in peace.
The guests were now trembling. Kao-chan still continued. "They say that their lingering resentment drag passers-by into the dark."
Suddenly, Hika-chan pointed at something. "What's that?!"
The girls screamed. When I turned around though, I laughed. Hard. It was a funny-looking thing that I couldn't describe. The twins looked at me with surprised looks.
"Why are you laughing?" They both chorused.
"It – look – funny!" I managed to say while laughing.
Suddenly, a hand was at my and Haru-chan's shoulder. Haru-chan just stared at it while I laughed even harder. "What's this? A test of courage or something?" Haru-chan said while looking at the fake skeleton hand.
"This hand looks so silly!" I said as I took the hand. I realized that it was Kao-chan that was manipulating it while it was Hika-chan that was manipulating at Haru-chan's. We all looked at each other with poker faces.
"Aren't the both of you afraid of ghosts?" Hika-chan asked as he took out the funny-looking thing. I just stifled my laughter.
"I've never seen one." Haru-chan stated.
They then looked at me. "I don't find 'scary' things scary; I actually find them funny-looking instead." I said as I had finally released my stifled laughter. The twins and the guests looked at us while sweatdropping.
~.^.^.~
"Kai-chan! Over here! Over here!" Honey yelled while waving his hand to us.
Haru-chan had a confused expression in her face. "Um…" She trailed off.
"Is this thing even allowed to be on a beach?" I continued as I sweatdropped. It was a big truck, with the same men in black earlier at the jungle pool accident.
We then climbed in the truck and stood there. "Okay, private police people, if you please!" Honey said to the men as he bowed. Um, what are we doing?
The men in black then saluted their hands. Suddenly, the door shut. My eyes widen in realization.
"Um, Honey? Why are we here?" I asked at Honey.
He was silent for a moment before finally hugging me. "It's so dark, confined, and scary! It's so dark, confined, and scary!"
"Honey-senpai…" Haru-chan said as she sweatdropped.
I also sweatdropped. "How about let's get out? You're scared here."
~.^.^.~
Haru-chan and I just stared at the object in Takashi's hand.
I sweatdropped. "Takashi, isn't this a mori you're holding?"
"Yeah. This is indeed a mori, right, Mori-senpai?" Haru-chan added.
He looked at us uncomfortably. "Ah."
~.^.^.~
"And another side dish." Haru-chan said as she picked up another shellfish. We decided to go shellfish hunting again after all the weird events that happened earlier. I was so confused as to why would they do that. But, oh well, they're the Host Club; let's not be surprised.
I picked up a shellfish and showed it to Haru-chan. "Haru-chan, how about this? Is this edible to eat?"
She smiled. "Yes, that would really look good!"
"Haruhi-kun! Kairi-chan!" A voice called from above. When Haru-chan and I looked to see who it was, it was the three of our guests from earlier, waving at us. They were at a big rock.
"Hey there!" One spoke up.
"This breeze feels so great!" Another one spoke up.
"It's dangerous up there." Haru-chan said.
I nodded in agreement. "Be careful up there!" I yelled as I went to Haru-chan to find more shellfishes. Suddenly, I heard an unfamiliar male voice from above. Then, one of the girls yelled. I looked up in alarm and at Haru-chan. "Haru-chan! Let's go!" I said as Haru-chan nodded.
When we reached at the top, we saw two guys that were holding the girls. I low-kicked the guy that was holding two girls while Haru-chan threw both of our buckets with shellfishes on it at the other.
"Yee-oww!" The guy that was hit with the shellfishes screamed in pain.
"Ouch!" The other guy that I kicked also screamed in pain, releasing both girls in the process.
"Would you go away now? They don't want you." Haru-chan said while still holding the bucket.
"Yeah, and they say you're bothering them." I added.
"Haruhi-kun! Kairi-chan!" One of the girls said as she cheered.
"Why, you little kid!" One of the guys yelled at me. I glanced at him while frowning. The girl took this as a chance to run. "You get back here!"
"She can leave if she wants to, you idiot!" I yelled as I grabbed one of his shoulders and threw him.
~.^.^.~
(3rd Person POV: Start)
The twins were running away from Tamaki. "Those are Nabu snakes, tono!" The twins chorused. They were trying to plan a new way to scare Haruhi and Kairi, but the snakes that Tamaki got were actually Nabu snakes, the poisonous snakes that are only native in Okinawa.
"What do I do?!" Tamaki yelled in panic as he ran after the twins.
Honey and Takashi was just running along them when suddenly a girl ran to them in tears. "Tamaki-sama!" She yelled. "It's Haruhi-kun and Kairi-chan!"
All of them stopped running and turned to the girl.
(3rd Person POV: End)
~.^.^.~
I was just finished fighting the other guy. The girls he was holding already ran away. When I turned to see Haru-chan, my eyes went wide. She was being dragged by the other guy towards the sea.
"What's with these spindly arms?" He said as he continued to drag her.
I frowned and ran towards the guy. "Why you-"
I was cut off when the other man I thought I was finished fighting off grab hold of me. "You thought you're strong, little pipsqueak?" He yelled as he also dragged me towards the sea.
"Kid, you should just go swimming in the ocean like a good boy!" The other guy yelled as he dropped Haru-chan to the sea.
"Haru-chan!" I yelled as she continued to fall. I decided to back kick the guy that was holding me in his stomach before also jumping down to Haru-chan. When I landed at the water, I quickly got Haru-chan that was about to drown to the darkness of the underwater and got above. I carried her and quickly swam towards the shore. I was mid-way there when suddenly; I got tired from carrying Haru-chan and swimming. I mean, man! I can't carry someone taller and bigger than me for a long time! I looked at Haru-chan.
"Haru-chan, I'm so sorry…" I whispered as a tear escaped from my eye and as I released her. She was able to swim at this level; she could handle this already. I was already looking at her from above as she was screaming my name. I smiled and just closed my eyes. At least I had met the Host Club already; I never had this fun in my whole life.
The last thing I saw was a person swimming towards me before I finally blacked out.
~.^.^.~
"…called a doctor, who will be here shortly." I heard someone talk. Wait, am I alive? When I opened my eyes, I saw the rest of the Host Club. I noticed that Takashi was carrying me. Yeah! I'm alive!
"I see." I heard Tamaki say.
"I'm all right. I don't need a doctor." I also heard Haru-chan say.
I immediately got up and got down from Takashi. I went to Haru-chan. "Are you sure you're already okay, Haru-chan? I'm so sorry I didn't continue to swim you to the shore!"
Everyone looked at me with shocked faces, with Honey lowering his head. I looked at them with confusion. "What's wrong with what I said?"
Tama-chan frowned at Haru-chan. "Are you one of those? Are you a martial arts master, like Honey-senpai and onee-chan?"
Tama-chan then looked at me while holding my shoulders and also frowned. I jumped in fear. "And you, onee-chan. You almost drowned there. If Mori-senpai hasn't come there to save you, what would have happened?! You may be a martial arts master and a great swimmer, but you're still a girl. How could you think that the both of you, both girls, only by yourselves, could do anything against those boys?!"
I also frowned. "It doesn't matter if we are girls."
Haru-chan also chimed in. "Yeah. We were just there, and didn't have time to think about anything like-"
Tama-chan removed his hands from my shoulders and suddenly interrupted her. "Well think about it, you idiot! Both of you are girls!"
"I will apologize for making you come after me, but I can't understand any other reason why you'd be so mad at the both of us." Haru-chan said as she frowned.
Tama-chan looked at me. "Do you feel the same way, too?" He whispered.
"Look, I may have almost drowned there, but is it wrong to save other people who are already in the brink of death? What's wrong in that?" I replied as I continued to frown.
"Is that so, huh? Then both of you go right ahead." He said as he walked away. "I'm not speaking to either of you again until you both admit you were wrong!"
~.^.^.~
It was already evening, and Tama-chan still didn't talk to the both of us. I actually felt guilty. But why should I? I mean, there's definitely nothing wrong in doing that, right?
…Right, you're definitely right.
I groaned in frustration as I finished taking my usual quick, cold shower. It was the same as my and Hai-chan's room, it has a bathroom in it. Sigh, Hai-chan, help me deal with this.
I got out of the bathroom and took my bag. I already wore my undergarments earlier right after taking a shower. I got my undergarments earlier from the pocket of my bag, so I decided to unzip my bag to get my usual baggy shirt and pan… dress?
I took out the dress. It was a sky blue, my favorite color. It was a frilly dress that my mom bought me months ago, yet I didn't wear it and instead left it at the family mansion. But how did this reach here? I was about to wear the dress when I saw a piece of paper stuck in it. It was a sticky note with some words in it. I decided to read it mentally.
Dear Kairi, this is Ranka speaking! You know, when I heard that you and my Haruhi are going to the beach, I immediately contacted your mom about it! She was ecstatic about it, so she decided to deliver some dresses and stuff to me. So forgive me for barging in your bag. Hoho~!
With hugs and kisses,
Ranka ^3^
I sighed as I placed the note back in my bag. I decided to wear the dress, because, does it look like I have another choice? When I finished wearing it, I realized that the dress was already at my mid-thigh. I actually only wear dresses when mom tells me so; she gives me tons of cakes and Nutellas after, so why not?
But now that there is no exchange, I don't know what to react anymore.
Suddenly, I heard a knock from my door. When I opened it, I saw Takashi.
I felt uncomfortable with him staring at me so I averted my eyes at my slippers that I had worn the whole time.
"Let's go." He said with his usual tone.
I just nodded as I closed the door and walked with him in silence. I began to feel awkward, so I just played with my hair instead. I decided to break the silence.
"Takashi, what have I done wrong?" I asked as I looked at him.
He looked at me back, and was looking at me as if telling me to go on. I looked down at my slippers. "I mean, there's nothing wrong in saving them, right? What if we called you instead? What would have happened to them? It had might been way to la-"
He suddenly interrupted me. "That's not the point."
I suddenly froze when I was walking. He stopped walking as well, waiting for me to answer. I looked up at him. "What do you mean that's not the point?"
"You're a girl. Something might also happen to you."
I looked at him with a confused expression for a while before my eyes widen up in realization. "All of you were worried about me and Haru-chan?"
He just nodded.
I looked down. "I'm sorry, for not realizing it earlier."
When I looked up, I saw him smile softly and ruffle my hair affectionately. He then resumed walking. "You should also apologize to the others."
I also resumed walking. We then proceeded towards another room. I think it was Haru-chan's. Takashi just knocked.
I sighed. I hope Haru-chan would realize it soon, too. When the door opened, it revealed Haru-chan wearing a dress, too. Only hers was pink and was way much longer.
She looked at me apologetically. "He got you too, huh?" Ranka-san, yes.
I just nodded. It didn't take long before we finally arrived at the dining area. When Takashi opened the double doors, it revealed the others, excluding Tama-chan, who was sulking at a corner, already at the dining table.
Suddenly, Honey was now faced at me. "Wow."
I immediately blushed and played with my hair. The twins then looked at the both of us. "Haruhi, Kairi-senpai, did the both of you buy those dresses yourselves?"
Haru-chan shook her head. "My dad must have repacked my bags for this. He always wants me to wear stuff like these."
I also shook my head. "Her dad must have also repacked my bags. My mom delivered the clothes to Haru-chan's dad, so I guess that's it."
The twins and Honey had all of their thumbs up. "Good job, Haruhi's dad!"
I was about to walk to the dining table when I remembered something. I still have an apology to make. Takashi suddenly gently nudged me, signaling me to do it now. I nodded.
I cleared up my throat. "Everyone?"
Everyone looked at me, excluding Takashi, with curious looks. I blushed at the attention I got, but continued anyways. "I-I'm sorry. I just realized it when Takashi and I were on the way to Haru-chan's room, so I got to thank Takashi for everything." I said as I looked at Takashi at the last part. He smiled at me again. I looked back at them. "So yeah, once again, I'm so sorry. I hope Haru-chan will also realize it sooner."
When I finished talking, there was a moment of silence. I began to blush from embarrassment. "I-it's okay if you w-won't forgi-"
I was suddenly cut off when the twins, Honey and Tama-chan hugged me. "Aww, what for, you little mutt?" Hika-chan started.
"You're so cute! We'll forgive you!" Kao-chan finished.
I blushed. "R-really?"
They hugged me even further. "You're so adorable!" Honey exclaimed.
"I forgive you, onee-chan!" Tama-chan exclaimed.
~.^.^.~
This is so horrible. I mean, very horrible.
There was an awkward silence in the dining table. Only the grandfather clock's constant ticking and Kyō-chan's constant scribbling are what break the silence. Haru-chan doesn't seem to realize yet, so we're here, not even taking a single bite from our hard work. And I'm starving. I decided to avert my eyes over Hika-chan, who was sitting next to me.
"The air is stuffy, huh?" Hika-chan started.
"It's kind of tense in here." Kao-chan finished.
"Um, yeah. And I'm quite starving right now." I said as I hear the constant ticking and the scribbling of Kyō-chan at his black notebook.
Honey then looked at Haru-chan with and smiled nervously. "Let's eat, Haru-chan!" He then held his crab, with Takashi doing the same. "I'm sure that the crabs we caught today are delicious."
I nodded vigorously and also held out my plate with crabs on it. "Yeah, Honey's right, Haru-chan! Don't you like seafood?"
Haru-chan just ignored us and just picked up a crab leg. She then snapped it open. She then ate it. She opened another and ate it again. I also decided to start eating; I think I'm going to starve to death if I don't.
Haru-chan then snapped another open, then spoke up. "These crabs… taste in crab-bible. Get it?" She said as she continued to snap another leg open. Tama-chan was freaking out of what she said. After I apologized, he started talking to me again. But to Haru-chan? Well, he's trying to, only to get ignored.
She was already eating a lot of crabs, while I was already finished eating. I was only watching her as she snapped another crab open. I sweatdropped.
"Aren't you eating too much, to say the least?" Tama-chan finally spoke up as she snapped another one open.
"Huh? I thought you weren't speaking to me." Haru-chan said in a mocking tone as she ate the crab leg. She's being stubborn.
"Y-you're not being cute." Tama-chan whispered. She said nothing but just glanced at him. It made him become more irritated. So then he stood up from his seat. "Okay, I get it. You're not going to reconsider what you have done. Fine then, I'm going to bed." He said as he walked away. "Kyōya, show me to my room."
With that, Kyō-chan also stood up. "All right. Well, if you'll excuse me, too…" He said as he walked away.
Haru-chan was almost close to snap another one open, when she stopped. I cleared up my throat and also stood up.
"I'm also going back to my room. I already know the way there, so please, excuse me." I said as I walked towards Haru-chan. She looked at me with a confused expression.
"What have I done wrong, Kairi?"
I just smiled softly at her. I then patted her shoulder. "You'll eventually find out soon." With that, I walked away from her and proceeded back to the hall.
~.^.^.~
…Okay, I made up my mind. I don't know the way there.
I've been turning around the mansion for what seemed like, a couple of minutes, and my heart starts to beat faster. I still haven't found my room. Sigh, I should've just stayed there with them. But I want Haru-chan to realize it herself! So since I'm here, I might as well continue searching for my room.
I think I have already gone deep into the mansion, because there are no more windows. Suddenly, I heard a roar and the lights that were all around me turned off.
I did what I always do when I experience this: I crouched in a corner and cried.
My breathing suddenly went from calm to fast and short breaths. My heart was beating itself out, and I was crying my head off. Yeah, you heard me. I'm actually afraid of the dark. But not when I'm with other people that I know, and with Isa-chan. I even have a big lamp shade in my room at the mansion and at my apartment. I also happen to be afraid of being alone. But I'm also afraid of sudden loud noises like thunder. So yeah, what a pathetic little girl.
"Kairi, calm down, you have to calm down." I whispered to myself as I continued to cry. I also have my eyes shut tightly. "You have to get up, you have to get up." I whispered again to myself.
"Kai-chan! Where are you?" A voice suddenly called.
I squeaked and whimpered as I heard another roar of thunder.
"Kai-chan? It's me, Honey! Please, tell me where you are!" The voice called again.
"H-h-h-honey!" I managed to squeak.
Honey suddenly appeared at my left and caused me to jump in surprise. More tears fell down.
He sat down with me. "Kai-chan, why are you crying?"
I didn't reply him. I can't tell him I'm such a scaredy cat. It's so embarrassing.
"Could it be that you're afraid of the dark? Or maybe even being alone?"
I still didn't reply him. He then suddenly cupped my face into his hands and wiped my tears away. "Hey, Kai-chan. It's alright if you're afraid. Everybody has their own fears. So even if I know already of what you're scared of, that won't change what I'm feeling for you."
I blushed madly. It was a good thing it was dark. What does he mean by feeling?! My heart starts to beat fast again, but it's kind of like a pleasurable feeling. "But, Honey. Aren't you also afraid of the dark?"
He laughed. "Well, if it were in close places."
I sighed in relief. At least somebody knows my fears. "Well, I'm not afraid of the dark when I'm with people I know. But when I'm alone I just, kind of crouch in a corner and cry like there's no tomorrow. Also, I'm also actually afraid of sudden loud noises, take the thunder for instance." I then looked at him while laughing nervously. "What a pathetic girl, right?"
Suddenly, I heard another roar of thunder. I whimpered again as I squeezed myself to death.
I felt Honey hug me. "Shhh, Kai-chan, don't be afraid. I'm right here. Don't cry."
My heart began to beat fast again, but I just ignored it. I hugged Honey back. I heard another roar of thunder, but I manage to ignore it. Right now, I feel protected. I think I'm beginning to appreciate the symptoms that I have.
~.^.^.~
The next day, we already went home. I got mad at Tama-chan because all of us saw him trying to involve Haru-chan to some deviant sexual activity. I made Haru-chan go to her apartment first, because I want to buy something at the bookstore. After a couple of minutes of looking for it, I finally went home to my apartment and resigned at my bedroom. I then looked at what I bought.
The magazine cover has the title 'Girls Lip'. I even don't know why I had bought this, but let's just read the stuff that I'm looking for.
I decided to read it out aloud. "Things you must bring: small and sexy items. Hide a bit of eros beneath your clean and tidy appearance. Succeed in catching… his heart?" I finished the last part with a confused expression. What does this magazine mean? And what's eros? Sigh.
When I flipped it over to the next page, something caught my attention.
There was a note written at the top of the magazine. It says:
Gals' Heart Diagnosis: What Do You Think About Him?
Check the degree of your consciousness of him right now by taking this little quiz!
Hmm… Sounds legit for me. Let me try this test. Maybe I'll find out what kind of disease I am currently having. I guess it won't be too bad.

LITTLE RED FOXX: OMFG WE'RE SO THE SAME!
loopyhutton: Thank you again!
Gottaloveastory: Hehe. I think the Host Club doesn't mind if Honey's a bit pervy. I mean, he's the oldest of them all, so, I think they won't mind. YES! SHE'S SO FREAKING CLUELESS! Let's see if she'll continue to be clueless! (Actually, I know how to speak in Filipino. The problem is, I don't know not all types of Filipino language. I only know 2 out of freaking 180+ languages of Filipino! So yeah, I think I know how to speak English more and a bit of Japanese.)
