Here's the next chapter! Rawr :3

"The beach?" Haruhi repeated, very confused.

"Yes, the beach!" the twins chimed.

"But why?" she asked, still confused.

"Don't you remember what you said?" Hikaru asked.

"You said that you'd like to go to a real beach!" Kaoru finished for his brother.

"Did I say that?"

"Yes, Haruhi. And here's the fun part! We've brought some swimsuits for you to try on!"

It had been a week since our little jungle adventure but the Host Club was still bursting with energy and ready for adventure! While Haruhi was pestered by the two devils, Kimi excitedly looked at all the designer suits.

"Don't you already have a swimsuit, Kimi-chan?" I asked.

"Of course but it's always fun to browse," she beamed, "And besides, I'm not going with you anyway!"

"What!?" I asked then pulled her into a corner.

"Kimi-chan!" I hissed at her in hushed voice, "Do you remember the water park! I could barely keep it together in front of 'you know who' even with you there!"

"First off," Kimi said, unamused by my nervousness, "You need to learn to face him on your own and second off: I'll be getting a behind the scenes look at the new dating sims game with Renge that day! I can't miss that!"

"So you did get Otaku-fied." I sighed, "I guess it was only a matter of time."

"So…why'd we come to Okinawa?" the twins asked in unison.

I had ended up travelling to Okinawa without my good companion Kimi after all. Not only was I blowing nervously at my bangs every few seconds but I was also a little irked that we didn't go somewhere cooler.

"Because Kyoya's family has a private beach here." Tamaki explained.

"But why not Fiji or even the Caribbean?" I asked grouchily.

"Do you think a commoner like Haruhi has a passport?" Kyoya asked icily. I still think he had something against me.

"You do realize I can hear what you're saying, right?" Haruhi asked in annoyance.

When we got to the beach I was dumbfounded. I was expecting for it to be empty but it was FILLED with guests of the Host Club! Kyoya noticed my jaw touching the ground and he gave me another ominous remark.

"You were invited on this all expenses-paid trip for a reason, assistant manager," he said and I couldn't help feel that he was mocking my title!

Kyoya seemed to have fooled all of the hosts and I could tell it was because Tamaki had to him to so 'his daughter' didn't have to wear a swimsuit. So I just stuck with the twins as always and spaced out throughout their brotherly love act but it wasn't such a good idea this time considering that we were playing volley ball. However, I was used to having balls hit me in the head from elementary school. I'd constantly zone out only to get whacked back into reality by a hit in the face from an unidentified flying ball. Everyone was working on location:

Kyoya was writing in his book, Tamaki was putting on his princely act, the twins' put on theirs, Haruhi danced around any invitations to go swimming, and Honey and Mori did what they always did. Some of the girls even asked me a few things about upcoming products that the Host Club would sell and I let them in on a few spoilers.

The assistant manager ain't so weak after all, huh Kyoya? I thought.

It took me a while but I got over my insecurity and I was able to show off my purple swimsuit with pride. It only took me a few puffs at my black bangs and muttering how I would share my beauty with the world before I could come out of my cocoon. After a good forty-five minutes of hosts working on location, I noticed everyone running and screaming from some unknown source. I looked over as girls rushed past me to see Tamaki holding a crab with a centipede crawling on it.

Really? I thought as Haruhi fearlessly shooed the bug off. That's what this is all about!?

While Haruhi just threw the bug and let it go on its way, I couldn't resist stomping it into the sand and the next thing I knew the twins were leaning on both of us, making me blush quite a bit!

"Now I know you two aren't the bug loving type but…" Hikaru said devilishly.

"Don't you think you could've been easier on that little guy?" Kaoru asked, finishing off the sentence.

"It was Senka's idea to smash it, not mine and just throwing it wouldn't have killed it anyway," Haruhi said with irritation in her voice.

The twins and I left Haruhi to be doted on by the girls for being so 'manly'.

"You and Haruhi aren't normal." Kaoru said as if he were bored, "I thought girls were supposed to be afraid of bugs."

"I'm sure she's afraid of something." Tamaki sighed then as if the two had been speaking telepathically, light bulbs popped over their heads simultaneously.

"Hey Boss!" they said eagerly, getting Tamaki's attention, "We just thought of a new game. It's called 'Who can find out Senka and Haruhi's Weakness Game!'"

"That sounds terrible!" Tamaki objected.

"Yeah I guess you're right, besides she'd only tell someone she was really close to," they said as the slowly walked off, dragging me with them as if I was their toy (which is exactly what they took me for).

"What're the rules!?" Tamaki asked with a quick change of heart.

"Now that's more like it!" they said, turning around, "We have until sun down tomorrow and whoever finds out either Senka or Haruhi's weakness wins!"

"C'mon guys! I'm standing right…" I started to protest but Kyoya butted in.

"I have a prize for the game's lucky winner," he said holding up some photos.

Half of them were of Haruhi in her middle school days and the other half…

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THOSE?!" I screamed, trying to grab them out of Kyoya's hands as Tamaki and the twins blushed furiously.

"I have my sources," Kyoya replied simply.

"I had no idea you work at a maid café!" Honey said innocently.

The pictures were indeed me in a rather scanty maid outfit, carrying milkshakes on trays.

"Pffft! seriously!" the twins said, trying to hold back laughs and blushes.

"I d-don't!" I exclaimed, "I mean I-I used t-to but I was only in eight grade and I quit after a year!"

And so…let the games begin!

"So this is the place. The most haunted place in all of Okinawa," Hikaru said ominously as we walked through the cave.

I ended up having to play along and not alert Haruhi about the game. I knew the twins would get revenge on me somehow and I didn't want to take any chances.

"They say you can only find this place is at low tide and many people have drowned down here." Kaoru said in his best spooky voice, "And they say their ghosts still linger here!"

"Look!" Hikaru shouted and pointed to a clearly fake ghoul at the ceiling of the cave.

The two even tried to scare Haruhi by using a plastic skeleton hand but Haruhi just wasn't the person to be scared of supernatural. It was pretty funny to watch the two fail! The same happened to the other hosts: Honey tried the fear of claustrophobia by locking us in the back of a truck, Morie tried pointing a harpoon at us to see if we were afraid of sharp objects, and they all failed miserably. When the sun began to set, many of the guests went back to a hotel but some stayed and Tamaki was still plotting up a plan for Haruhi and I. I had just told Tamaki that he was handling poisonous habu snakes instead of rat snakes (it was his brilliant idea to scare Haruhi) when a guest came up and told us that Haruhi was in danger. We all sprinted off to her aid and I would've helped until I learned where she was. She was on a cliff overlooking the sea and as the three ran up it, I timidly stayed at the bottom.

I felt completely helpless as my friend was tossed into the ocean by some punks but luckily, Tamaki saved the day by jumping after her. I just…don't like…place that are elevated.

"What do you think you're doing?" Kyoya asked rudely as he approached me.

"Just enjoying the show!" I laughed hysterically as the twin beat up on the bullies who had thrown their friend into dangerous waters.

The Ootori boy only sighed and went to go pry them off the poor guys. When they rushed down the cliff, they were both suspicious as to why I hadn't been there to help.

"U-uh…well…It just looked so…high…" I squeaked as I looked up at the cliff.

"So you're afraid of heights!" They sang, "That means we win! Kyoya, we'll be having Senka's middle school photos!"

"Gah! No! Please don't!" I begged them but they only smirked.

"We'll be holding onto these," they cooed almost seductively.

As they said this, the punk they had been beating up, jumped out from the sea rocks from behind them. Without warning, I reached into the bust of my swimsuit and pulled out an air gun, aimed right at the punk, and fired. It hit him right in the arm and he doubled over in pain and shock.

"What the hell did you just do?!" Kyoya lashed out.

"Calm down!" I panicked, "It's only an air gun! He's fine! Look, he isn't even bleeding!"

Kyoya only scowled and went over to ask the dudes to leave. While he was gone, the two put their elbows on my head.

"How did you get licensed to carry an air gun?" Hikaru asked mischievously.

"You only have to be fourteen to own one and get some recommendations." I explained simply.

"But don't you own a real rifle, Senka?" Kaoru asked smoothly.

"I bought that under my father's name and I only use it for sporting purposes, this is way different."

"Remind me not to get on your bad side," Hikaru chuckled.

I didn't really get to see quite what happened to my Haruhi because I was staring down the punks as they left to make sure they didn't try to come back. The twins told me everything on the way to the estate we were staying at and apparently Tamaki was angry at her for doing something so reckless. I was a little angry at myself for being too afraid to help her. Damn my fear of heights.

I was watching a storm roll in as we waited for our dinner to be prepared which I wasn't looking forward to. First off: I didn't care much for shellfish and second off: I knew the meal would be awkward with Tamaki and Haruhi's grudges. And boy was it. The entire dining hall was completely silent except for the ticks of the clock and the cracks of crab shells being broken open. In the end, Tamaki stormed off after a hilarious display of Haruhi freaking him out. When he left, I notice Haruhi cool her jets a little.

"Maybe he's right. Maybe I do need a way to protect myself…" she said pensively.

"So that's it. He got to you." The twins sighed.

"It wouldn't hurt to get licensed to bear an air gun." I suggested, "But it's not like we're going to force you to get one and besides that's not the real issue here."

"To be honest, you had us all a little worried," Hikaru said and I felt my jealousy a little.

"What do you mean? I didn't cause you guys any trouble or anything…" Haruhi said as if it were no big deal that she was thrown off the edge of a cliff.

The twins just shrugged their shoulders and gave up.

"That's not true, Haru-chan." Honey said with his adorable voice, "I think you should apologize, k?"

"Yeah!" I agreed, "You had me pretty worried too! I thought we'd be attending a funeral this evening!"

Haruhi just looked at me with a confused look in her eye and again asked why we were so worried about her when I JUST explained to her why!

"You're hopeless," the twins groaned.

"You think? Guys I'm really sorry." She finally apologized and we all pulled her into a group hug.

The touching moment was ended when a disgusting noise came from Haruhi's belly. We ended up having to send her off the nearest restroom.

"So did you enjoy your time at the beach?" Honey asked, trying to break the silence.

"Uh yeah!" I chirped pretending to aim a pistol, "I even got a little gun action in!"

Honey just looked at me with a puzzled look on his face as well as Mori.

"Oh you should've seen those bullies earlier!" the twins laughed in unison.

"Senka totally shot one with her air gun and I think he even thought it was real!" Hikaru laughed.

"Really?! You carry an air gun around? But how did you fit it into your swimsuit?" Honey asked curiously.

"Oh well…" I said uncomfortably as the conversation took a turn for the worse.

"Yeah." Hikaru cooed slyly.

"It didn't show through from within your bathing suit so how did you manage to pull that off" Kaoru asked in the same tone.

"Well you see…I kind of wear pads in the bust of my swimsuit so the shape of the gun doesn't show through…I never go anywhere without it…" I awkwardly explained as the twins laughed hysterically.

"And where are you hiding it this time, your hair!?" Hikaru joked in between chuckles.

"N-no! I don't even have it with me!" I explained frantically.

"Well I for one want to see it!" Honey said sweetly. Of course the karate master wanted to see the bad ass gun.

"Um…ok…" I said and got up to get my air gun.

I can't believe Honey wants to see my air gun! But then again, he is a martial arts master so I guess I can see why he'd be into something like that. I thought as I opened the door to my room.

"Where the hell is it!?" I shrieked after ten minutes of looking.

I had turned the entire room upside down looking for my baby (yes I refer to it as my baby) but found nothing.

"Where did I leave you?" I asked worriedly as I rummaged through my suitcase when I heard a knock at the door.

"Hey Senka, I'm coming in," came a voice as the door opened.

"Oh, Hikaru, what is it?" I asked, "Never mind that, have you seen my air gun?!"

"Actually Kaoru sent me up here to check on you since you were taking so long," he explained as I continued my search, "I guess that's why."

Just then lightning went off from outside, followed by a booming thunder, and darkness.

"Oh great…" I grumbled, "The power's blown. Hikaru, are you still near the door. I think there's a flash light on the table near you."

"Sure, if I can even figure out where I anything is," Hikaru said in annoyance as I heard rummaging from the other side of the room.

I couldn't even see my own hand in front of my face so now my plans for getting my air gun were smashed.

"I can't find it. Are you sure it's- ah!" Hikaru said before I felt something rather lumpy topple me to the floor with a thud.

I felt an elbow jab my solar plexus and a knee stick itself in my shin.

"Ow ow ow…" I groaned, "Watch where you're going Hikaru. That really hurt!"

Then another shot of lightning streaked across the sky, revealing two, shocked cat like eyes right in front of my face. It took me a few seconds to feel the hot breath on my face and a knee still on my shin to realize the catastrophic situation.

"Uh…Hikaru?" I asked barely in a whisper as my face heated like crazy!

"…"

Then the lights flickered a little and flashed of the dead gorgeous eyes flashed in front of me before the lights turned on for good. I guess we both freaked out…just a little.

"Omyygoshgetoff!" I squealed.

"Ok, ok!" he said panicked, jabbing me in the solar plexus trying to get off.

"OW! WATCH IT!" I screamed, feeling my knee hit his chest.

I heard a rather gruff 'oof' as he was kneed off of me. He toppled to the ground next to me and we just laid there for a few seconds with massive blushes but not looking at each other to notice. After a longest few seconds of my life passed by, I heard Hikaru starting to chuckle.

"That was actually pretty funny!" he said, starting to laugh harder.

I tried to stay mad at him but it only took one look at his face for me to start laughing along with.

"Pffft! Yeah it was! Ow!" I giggled with my solar plexus still hearting.

As we both laughed at each other from the ground, I let my thoughts stray into all out freestyle. Usually I would restrain my day dreams about him so I wouldn't end up making myself miserable but I couldn't help it.

God, he's beautiful. I'm lucky he's got such a great sense of humor too. I thought continuing my laugh fest. I just wish he would notice me a little more…but I have to remember what Honey said. He'll understand if I tell him how I feel but I'm still not ready for that…I wish I could tell him now though.

Kimi: Next chapter, you'll learn some of Senky-chan's darkets secrets!

Senka:...Damn Lobelia girl...

Kimi: Next time: Neglecting and Nicotine!

Hikaru: Wait what does nicotine have to do with the next chapter?

Senka: N-NOTHING! It's not like it involves me or a-anything...
