Hi guys...

I'm gonna continue the story :) I think having so many reviews is enough of a push to keep going. Though I hope you all realise that I can't update as often, I'm only doing so now 'cos my dad is messin with my video camera for my coursework :)

So, yeah, I know Kyouya is an ass in these last few chapters, but I promise he's gonna come to, k?

Have fun, and review!


It was June now. The weather had brightened, and we had all taken to hosting outside in the fresh air. In fact, today we were dressed up in whatever insane costume Tamaki had picked for us (I'm seriously not sure how to describe it) and we were focusing on sports and such.

It was quite fun really. During the last three weeks of hosting outdoors, I'd learned to spar with Takashi and Honey (though I was still crap at it) and the twins had taught me archery. Tamaki insisted I teach him badminton, because he had never played, so that was a trial all of it's own, though it was kind of funny.

Then the game moved to football... or soccer as these strange people call it.

I watched as Hikaru batted the ball across the garden, and it went flying to a very serene looking Haruhi.

"Oh, crap!" I gasped. Tamaki pelted to Haruhi, knocking into her but saving her from having the balls pattern imprinted into her face.

Tamaki had a go at Hikaru, so Hikaru retaliated and I had to go and save Haruhi from being trod on by the angry blond.

"So much for getting used to things..." she mumbled as I dragged her up to her feet.

"It's okay hun, you will. Eventually." I laughed as she brushed twigs out of her hair.

She gave me a dirty look, but because I couldn't stifle my laughter, she ended up laughing too.

We watched bemusedly as the twins and Tamaki argued back and forth, but as soon as Tamaki grabbed the ball, booted it and smashed a window, I just about lost it and collapsed on the floor in fits of laughter.

"Oh my god, that was hilarious!" I cried, wiping tears of mirth away from my eyes.

"Even so... we'd better go check it out..." grumbled Kyouya. I was still laughing, so Takashi had to pick me up and carry me back to the main building so we could see what the damage was.

* * *

"Really, we're very sorry about that..." apologized Tamaki, talking to the president of the news paper club. I was sat beside Takashi with my fist in my mouth hoping to stop my laughter, but all the way here, and especially when I'd seen the older boy having his friend hold a bag of ice against his head, I'd been in fits of giggles. The twins found it rather amusing that I was acting so childish, even Kyouya was smiling slightly every time a giggle escaped my lips.

Takashi ended up sitting me on his lap and covered my fist and mouth with his hands... but that just made me giggle more and roll over to the side, so I was effectively curled up on the floor, shaking with quiet laughter.

I was ignored by the newspaper club, and they continued talking about how they made the newspaper into a gossip rag because they were afraid of losing customers... which they did anyway.

Then they made a comment about wanting to interview the host club. Tamaki was all for it, probably as a peace offering, but Kyouya said no. Then everyone else followed his lead. I was still having random giggles, so Takashi managed to get me on his back and started walking out.

"Stop."

We all paused while Tamaki turned to us, sobbing about their family breaking up. It took about two seconds for Kyouya and the twins to summon their filthiest looks and snarl at him;

"We're not going to do it!"

Takashi carried on walking out, while I shifted on his back to get a good look at the boys and the broken Tamaki. I grinned, waved and shouted.

"Bye bye~"

* * *

"For gods sake, calm down!"

Hikaru had pinned my hands down 'cos I kept waving them about while laughing, and Kaoru was shaking his head at me.

"Guys, you officially pushed her over the edge. She's now senile." muttered Haruhi.

I sighed deeply, and rested my head back on the sofa. My giggles subsided finally, and I smiled up at them all.

"My sides hurt." I said finally. This made the twins crack up, as well as Honey and Haruhi while Kyouya and Takashi smiled at me.

"I'm gonna go get changed."

I walked to the changing rooms, but when I was there the only uniform I could find for myself was the one the twins had designed. I then took off my glasses (yes, I still wear them... sometimes) and I replaced them with my contacts.

Nevertheless, I pulled it on and made myself look presentable before heading back out to the guys. Of course, they all stared at me, the twins looking rather triumphant, Tamaki ignored me(like he was doing to everyone), Haruhi looking rather bemused, Honey cheerful as ever, Kyouya slightly annoyed and Takashi very, very smug.

"What's up?" I asked.

"The boss is sulking 'cos we wouldn't agree to his plan."

"Oh. Screw him then."

I walked over to where Takashi and Honey had sat, and sat myself down on Takashi's lap. He didn't seem to mind, just shifted me a little and started stroking my hair. I leaned against his chests and listened to the muffled heartbeat under it, I could hear it speeding up and I smiled to myself.

"I hate it when he ignores us when we're stood right here, he's such a child." complained Kyouya.

"Their club is like a family. They're families about to be broken up... I feel sorry for them."

Haruhi sighed, and her shoulder slumped a little. Then she turned to Kyouya.

"I hate to give into him, but would it really be that bad to help them out with their newspaper?"

"What?" cried Hikaru.

"Since when are you taking his side?" asked Kaoru.

She explained ti us that he would just give us puppy dog eyes and we wouldn't be able to say no. The twins said it really was more trouble than it was worth. Then she turned to us.

"What about you Honey sempai?"

"Count me out;" he chimed."Besides, I got this cake to eat, and Takashi sticks with me right?"

"Yeah." grunted Takashi, picking his cup up and having a sip.

She looked at me, and since I couldn't give a reasonable excuse, I just stared wide eyed and vacant until she looked uncomfortable and turned away.

Tamaki looked at Haruhi, and she sighed. He had her.

He then looked again, and the twins sighed a little too. He had them.

He then looked pleadingly at Kyouya. Kyouya didn't move. He didn't sigh. But he pushed up his glasses. He had him.

"There will be some conditions. The outline for their article will be submitted by us, interviews are strictly prohibited, and it is vital that our clients identities be kept confidential. Do we agree?"

The twins agreed, to a shocked Haruhi, then Honey and Takashi agreed. Haruhi looked at us all funny, and because it started to make me feel uncomfortable, I made her feel uncomfortable. I stared back at her for a long time, even when she did look away, and I knew she knew I was looking. I she knew I knew that she knew I knew she knew I was looking.

I grinned.

"Well, better go tell them."

* * *

Kyouya had told them we agreed to be in their newspaper, as they agreed to follow our (Kyouya's) terms. Tamaki had then insisted we all go out and play games.

I was stood by the side with the newspaper guys while the others played some sort of game. I wasn't too interested, so had opted to bring down some sandwiches and drinks to keep us refreshed.

I watched bemusedly as Haruhi and Takashi played normally, while the twins and Honey gave the most bizarre poses they could. Kyouya hadn't even moved, but as the other got closer to Tamaki, he suddenly moved forward, like, half the distance in the space of two seconds.

I laughed as the three new guys looked really confused, and I stood up from the grass, brushed my skirt off (and tugged it down... since the last time I'd worn it, it had become shorter, so I think the twins switched it for a mini skirt) and looked at them.

"It's a little strange at first, but don't worry."

I skipped over to the others while Tamaki went over to the newbies.

"Hi Haruhi!"

"Are you still hyper?" she asked, taking a step away from me.

"Nope!" I grinned. "I'm just trying to find a can."

I walked off then, and went back to the box of things I'd randomly found and then brought down. I rummaged around for a while, but couldn't find much, then right at the bottom was an old can of... caviar. Caviar in a can.

What the fuck?

I brought it back to the others, while Tamaki harped on about something or other. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw the president dude approach Haruhi. He asked her some questions, looking pretty darn sinister. I motioned to the twins to go over there, and they 'chopped'. Rather funny.

We then played 'kick the can' (yay, I got the can!) Tamaki told Kyouya to be it, and we all had to run and hide somewhere.

I ran into the maze after Haruhi and Tamaki, but where they went left, I went right. I slowed, then walked for a while before I figured out that I was lost. The aim was to hide though, and I shall! I eventually found a small hole in the hedge, barely noticeable, and I got down and crawled inside it. The inside space was actually rather big. And there were lots of big leaves for me to settle against.

I was actually pretty comfortable, and the sound of birds chirping was so relaxing.

I closed my eyes for a minute to take in the beauty of nature...

* * *

When I opened them, the sky was considerably less cloudy, and the sun was right above me, and I was very much still not found.

I crawled out of my hidey hole and started walking back through the maze, trying to figure out where I was meant to go.

After fifteen minutes of pointless walking, and probably becoming more lost than I was before, I found a tree.

A very large tree, that I could probably climb... I was kinda glad I was on my own, 'cos I am wearing a skirt and if anyone walked under they'd have a nice ol' pervy view of my boxers.

It kind of is a good thing I could climb, or this would have been difficult.

At the top, I could see a little farther, there were plenty of trees, and not too far away there was a large white gazebo. That was probably the center, and from what I could hear, Tamaki was there.

I crawled along a branch, to about as far as my weight would allow me, and then I started lowering myself down. But just before I could get my upper half off the branch, I heard a sickening crack and I jolted. I started to hurry a bit, but then there was another crack and I was tumbling to the ground.

I let out a shriek, and then an 'omph' as I landed with a thump on the floor, and cried out in pain as the branch landed on top of me.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow....." I muttered, as I tried my best to shove the branch off my leg.

I heard rustling and peeked to see Kyouya and Takashi stick their heads around the nearest hedge.

"Hey guys." I said, tugging my skirt a little lower to try to hide my boxers.

"What have you done now?" asked a rather astounded Kyouya, coming to my shoulders and lifting my torso off the ground. Takashi took hold of the branch and lifted it quite easily off me.

"I was chilling out in a tree when it snapped." I muttered. Kyouya sighed while Takashi smiled slightly at me. He then picked me up and started carrying me bridal style from the maze.

"Where are we going?" I asked, shifting slightly so Takashi's hands weren't cupping my ass.

"The newspaper clubs room. We have business."
