Sunny Days, part 1

A/N: Thank you, Sweet Fragrance, for the first reviews and advice. I will follow it as best as I can, I promise. ^_^ I should point out that I do not own any of the Ouran High School Host Club (though I would love to at least own Kyoya). Also, I might not be able to bring a chapter a day but I will try to do at least one a week. As for how long this story will last, I have no clue.

"Mori-sempai, Honey-sempai... Can you help me move these bags into the guest room?" Haruhi asked as she struggled to carry five suitcases, three of which were Tamaki's. The weekend was here and the Host Club decided to take a trip to the beach. Haruhi, remembering how the trip went last time, tried to get out of it. But her protests fell on deaf ears and Kyoya suggested that he'd take off a small potion of her debt.

"Sure, Haru-chan!" Honey exclaimed as he bounced over to her and grabbed the three largest bags, all were Tamaki's. Rizu wasn't sure just how he could manage carrying them but the small boy acted as they were lightweight. I know Tamaki-san and he doesn't travel lightly, she thought. It had been four days since she came here and for the most part, she got along with everyone. Except for him. He always keeps his face behind that black book, Rizu mused. Maybe he's afraid I'll try to smack him again.

The ocean breeze felt good as the group stood outside of the private resort. Birds flew overhead and the sea waves crashed loudly in the distance. Hikaru and Kaoru were arguing with Tamaki about the swimsuit for Haruhi to wear. The twins wanted her to wear a powder blue tankini and Tamaki was wanting her wear something less revealing. Haruhi sighed as she told all three that she didn't plan on wearing either. The puppy dog eyes appeared on Tamaki's face as showed her the swimsuit he had chose: a red floral one piece that had a skirt attached to it. Haruhi must have known she had no option but to chose one and she really did like how nice the swimsuit Tamaki had picked out, so she grabbed it and asked Rizu to go with her to the changing rooms.

Yes! My daughter chose me over those monkeys! Tamaki's mind rejoiced. Though, he did have some help picking out the swimsuit from Kyoya. If you ever needed to know anything about one of the Hosts, Kyoya was the one to see. That black book contained more than the inventory and accounts of the Host Club; it also had a full background check on everyone. Even Rizu, Tamaki noticed yesterday.

Flashback-

Kyoya rarely let his book out of his sight but when the twins had caused a commotion in the gym and the teachers needed payment for the mess the girls left after seeing the them play one-on-one, he must have dropped it. Tamaki, normally not the nosy type when it comes to the book, had only meant to pick it up and put it somewhere safe when he saw a few lines about Haruhi's favorite colors and designs. Thumbing through it, he saw charts of how much the twins earn compared to the cost of Honey's sweets. I wouldn't have known that Honey-sempai's sweets cost so much, he remembered. Kyoya kept an excruciatingly accurate list of guests of the Host Club; past, present, and future. Names even Tamaki didn't remember were jotted down. He decided to put it up before Kyoya returned when Rizu's name caught his eye. Everything from her birth date to recent spending activities was there but the thing that stood out was the name of the man his uncle, her father, wanted her to marry. That's got to be wrong. Kyoya couldn't possibly know that... Tamaki's mind doubted what his eyes saw as he heard the sound of the music room door opening. Quickly, he slammed it shut and tossed it on the table Kyoya normally sat at.

End Flashback-

"Haruhi-chan, Rizu-chan... You guys look terrific." Kaoru stated, breaking Tamaki from his train of thought. Looking up, his eyes focused on Haruhi. The red tankini fitted her body just right and it showed off her curves. Noticing his eyes on her, Haruhi blushed as she grabbed a white terry cloth robe and slipped it on. Whereas Haruhi's swimsuit was modest and not so revealing, Rizu's deep purple two piece dared to show some flesh. From the boy shorts that made her legs look even longer than they were to the bikini top that Tamaki would have forbade his "daughter" to wear, the swimsuit looked more like one those models wore not one a high school teenager wore.

"Um, thanks guys." Haruhi muttered as she absently played with the edge of the robe. "I almost didn't come out but Rizu-chan made me." As she said this, a playful smile appeared on her friend's face. Pulling her hair back, Rizu used some matching ribbon to tie a bow to hold her hair back. No one saw the sterile white handkerchief that Kyoya placed directly under his nose or the small red stains when he placed it back in his shorts' pocket.

"Well, who's ready to hit the beach?" Rizu asked. The twins and Honey all cheered as the group made their way from where they were standing to the vast, underpopulated beach. Honey carried some small colorful pails and a shovel as he skipped ahead. Hikaru and Kaoru plotted a trick to play on Tamaki. Mori walked silently and Tamaki gushed about how the beautiful beach brought out the best side of him. Rizu, carrying a beach towel, walked directly in front of Kyoya when she stumbled over a rock that the others had made sure to step over. Preparing to hit face first on the hard ground, she was surprised to felt a strong hand grab her left arm and turn her towards the owner of the hand. Staring at Kyoya, she didn't notice he pulled her close to him or how fast her heart was pounding.

"Oh..." Rizu stammered.

"A thank you would suffice." Kyoya replied sternly. Abruptly, he released her arm and she realized that he saved her from hurting herself. If he was going to act like this, he should have just let me fall down, Rizu thought. But I have this strange feeling. It must be from almost falling.

"Thank you, Kyoya-sempai." She curtly responded. Then she whirled around and sprinted to where the rest of the group was on the path. He smirked as he watched her catch up to them and slowed her pace. Maybe this will be fun, he thought as he pushed his glasses up and picked up the stone. He placed it out of the way on the side of the path.

Another A/N: It seems like I'm a slacker. o.o Which I am known to be but I don't mean to have this story go too long without an update. Also, this is my first part with over 1000 words. ^_^ I hope the rest will have at least 1000 words as well.
