So, I'm actually updating! *series of gasps* And this chapter is more than 1,000 words, even though it's not more than last chapter! So, I hope you enjoy this!

I do not own OHSHC. I only own my OCs.

Akiko sat still on the piano chair, staring at the short honey-blonde standing in the doorway. He was holding a pink, stuffed bunny toy. Akiko couldn't help but inwardly squee at his cuteness. Her eyes widened in confusion when she saw that he was wearing the High School uniform. But that's impossible… Akiko thought to herself, he can't be any older than a grade-schooler…

"I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka, but you can call me Honey-chan!" the blonde boy said excitedly, "And this is Usa-chan!" he held out the pink bunny.

"Oh, er," said Akiko, smiling sweetly, even though she did want a few more minutes of solitude before she had to go home. "I'm Akiko. Don't you have a friend to play with instead of talking to me…?"

"Oh!" Honey then ran up to her, crouching low as if he was sneaking around, "Takashi and I are playing hide-and-seek! Do you want to play, too?"

Akiko hurriedly shook her head, "Sorry, Honey-chan. I have to go home."

Tears came into Honey's eyes as he clutched Akiko's leg, "But I don't want you to go!"

"Um, um, um, um," Akiko's hands fluttered about as she wondered what to do, "I'll play with you, Honey-chan! But please don't cry!"

He cheered up immediately, smiling a silly, carefree grin at her, "Really?"

"Yes!" Akiko pinched Honey's cheeks, "Because you're so cute!" she leaned down and kissed Honey on the forehead. "So, what do you want to play?" she asked him.

A look of thoughtfulness – which Akiko thought was adorable – came onto Honey's face, "I have a club I need to go to. But you can come too!"

"Okay! I'll come!"

So Honey took Akiko's hand and led her through the building until they reached two double doors. "Here we are!" Honey said cheerfully.

"How am I supposed to play with you while you're in club?" asked Akiko. Now that she stopped to think about it, she wouldn't be able to hang out with him if he were doing club activities, right? She wasn't even in this club.

"Don't worry about it, Aki-chan!" smiled Honey.

At that moment, the grand, ornate doors suddenly opened, revealing five boys in a rush to get prepared. Akiko narrowed her eyes as she realized that among these boys were Tamaki, Kyoya, and the two red-head twins. There was only one person who Akiko hasn't met yet, and that was the brown-haired boy who had opened the door. The brunette turned around and called to Tamaki, "Sempai! I found Honey!"

"Good job, my sweet daught –" he stopped talking when he saw Akiko. He ran to her, his arms open, "Oh, Aki-hime, my other sweet daughter! I was so worried about you! Are your feet okay?"

Before he could hug her, Akiko put out a hand to block him. He pouted at her, but she paid attention to the brown haired boy instead. Now that she studied him, he seemed a little….girly. Akiko shook her head, smiling at her thoughts. No, there's no way a real girl would dress up as a boy, she thought to herself.

"Tamaki-san, I am not your 'sweet daughter'!" Akiko yelled, using one of her best glares on Tamaki, "What are you doing here?!"

Kyoya pushed up his glasses, "Kimura-san, this is the Host Club I told you about earlier."

Akiko's jaw dropped in shock, "What?! But Honey-chan said he belonged to this club, but wouldn't the Host Club only be for… high-schoolers?"

"Honey-senpai is a high-schooler. He's a third-year, actually," the brown haired boy explained. He smiled at Akiko, "I'm Fujioka Haruhi. Pleased to meet you."

"Are you the only sane one here?" questioned Akiko, an eyebrow raised at Haruhi's politeness.

Haruhi nodded and said in a serious tone, "I believe I am."

"Haruhi~" the two twins called, "We need to ask you a favor."

"Whatever it is, the answer is no," the twins pouted at Haruhi's answer and were about to say something when she continued on, "I still have to find Mori-senpai."

"Aww, but Haruhi!" the twins whined.

Avoiding Tamaki, Akiko walked up to the twins, she studied them carefully before asking, "So, which one of you is which?"

"Why do you want to know?" one of them asked, "Is it possible that… you are interested in us?" the other one asked.

"No," deadpanned Akiko, "I just want to be able to tell you two apart."

Sighing, the twin of the left pointed to his sibling, "That's Kaoru."

The one of the right – Kaoru, apparently – said at the same time, "That's Hikaru."

Then, leaning on each other's shoulders, they said, "We're the Hitachiin twins."

"Okay, Hika –"

"Don't lie to her, guys," said Haruhi, "Kimura-senpai, the one on the left is Kaoru and the one of the right is Hikaru."

"Oh, um," Akiko flushed, not knowing what she should say, "Fujioka-san, you can just call me Akiko. I don't mind."

Haruhi smiled at her, "Call me Haruhi, then."

Akiko beamed back, genuinely this time. Her moment of calm was ruined when the she felt two pairs of arms wrap around her. One of the twins – Akiko guessed that it was Hikaru – stuck their tongue at Haruhi, "She's our toy! Not yours!"

"Eew! You're just as disgusting as Tamaki-san!" Akiko fought her way out of their arms, not succeeding. Tamaki gasped at what Akiko said, while the twins laughed.

Just then, a very tall, black-haired boy entered the room. Akiko stared at the strong-looking newcomer, still embarrassed that someone – no, too people – were hugging her.

"Mitsukuni?" the tall boy asked.

"Takashi!" Honey jumped up onto the black haired boy's back, "I'm sorry, Takashi. I forgot we were playing! But we can play with Akiko-chan, right Aki-chan?"

"Um, sure," responded Akiko. She gazed at the boy that Honey was on top of, trying to figure out if she's seen him in the school before. I don't know the names of anyone here, she realized. She glanced at the Hitachiin twins and scowled, Well, except for them. She turned to Kyoya, the one person she knew that might give her answers, "Kyoya-san, who is he?" Akiko pointed to the boy that Honey was on top of.

"That is Morinozuka Takashi. The guests call him Mori, though," Kyoya informed her.

"Morinozuka…" Akiko blinked as she realized something, "The Haninozukas! Kyoya-san, what are the full names of the people in this room?"

He looked up from his laptop, "Why do you ask?"

"Could you answer my question first?" Akiko crossed her arms.

Kyoya sighed before he started listing people, "Tamaki Suoh, Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachiin, Mitsukuni Haninozuka, Takashi Morinozuka, Haruhi Fujioka, and myself, Kyoya Ootori."

Akiko felt faint. She was in a room full of insanely rich people? Other than Haruhi, of course. I don't belong here… anyways, I'm not part of the club anyways. Akiko bowed suddenly, saying, "I'm glad to meet you all. I am acquired somewhere else right now, though." And with that, Akiko slipped out of the room.

xXx

Akiko stepped out her limo – she never could get used to that, saying that it was her limo. She stood still as she observed her aunt's house.

She only moved here a week ago, so she knew that she shouldn't judge, but she knew that this place wasn't her home. Akiko clenched her fists, trying to stop the overload of memories coming to her. She never did understand why parents always send their children to the places where they dislike the most after they die. It was cruel. Very cruel.

She finally made herself move, her limbs stiff as she entered the house. "Hiroshi!" she called out for her brother. When he didn't answer, Akiko walked around until she found one of the servants dusting a vase.

"Where is my brother?" asked Akiko.

The maid bowed, "I'm sorry, Miss Kimura, but the young master isn't available."

Akiko's eyebrows rose, "Really? Where is he, then?"

"He's at school."

"What?!" yelled Akiko, "He's never well enough to go to school! Which school is he going to?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that. Yamada-sama said that you would keep him from his education is I did," the maid said, referring to Akiko's aunt.

Akiko huffed, "Where is she?"

"Yamada-sama is at work."

"Fine then. I'll talk to her later," Akiko pressed her lips together in a thin line, and after a moment of hesitation, she ran up the grand staircase and went to her room, dropping all of her things on the floor. She laid down on her bed and stared at the ceiling, wondering what she should do while she waited.
