Chapter 5: Chopin's Nocturne

*flashback Addison's POV*

"Come with me" A voice calls into the darkness of my room.

I didn't even have time to fully open my eyes before being dragged into the cell next to mine. My parents were in there! They seemed fine but where's Adelaide? Something feels wrong. The man releases his tight grip on my arm and leaves the room as another man enters. Cattivo. Man, I hate this guy. I don't like being on his bad side! He's violent! I don't know I did for him to hate me so much.

"How are you this-a evening?" Cattivo ask with his arms folded across his chest. It is dark outside but I know what he looks like. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He has an italian accent. I'm taller than he is. But he can still hurt me!

"We're fine. How are you?" My Vati replies politely. My mother and I can see right through it. My Vati is ready to bite this guy's head off. I don't blame him. I have the same Germanic temper.

"I'm great." Cattivo tells and in the shadows I see him walk from one side to the other.

"What do you want, Cattivo?" My Vati questions after a long silence.

"Well, I hate being the bearer of bad news but, Adelaide is dead." Cattivo tells us from the corner of the cell. "That is all."

I didn't hear Cattivo exist and close the door. I couldn't hear my mother's heartbreaking sobs and my Vati's words of pain and anger. I couldn't hear. I just feel numb. Why Adelaide? The only thing going through my mind is Adelaide as I pulled my knees to my chest.

Adelaide and I, being twins, were always together. Where I would go, she would go and vice versa. Even when I was with my own friends. She was my best friend! I was there for her and she was there for me. When we were little we promise to protect each other, no matter what. I let her down. I can't help but feel guilty for her death. I know it was out of my control but I'm her twin! I deserved to die not her. I'm the oldest one. I'm suppose to protect her, right? I know I can't protect her from everything but why didn't I try? If I tried to take her place for today, would she still be alive? She is dead but she's still here. She's alive in my heart. My sister has a soul no one can forget! I'm glad I was a part of that. But if she was the better part than what am I? Right now I'm nothing. I feel like nothing. Adelaide isn't the only person who died today.

Maybe it's best if I just left. But I can't? Or can why? There's must be some secret way out of this hell. Why am I even here? I don't even know why we here. Nobody has told Adelaide and I anything. Maybe I can escape. But wouldn't living with the knowledge of not protecting my twin be a greater punishment? I deserve to feel guilty.

I don't know how much time has passed since being told about Adelaide's fate. All I know is that I need a plan. I can't tell my parents. I'll find a way to escape. Most people into similar situations would just give up. But not me. Adelaide's death created a fire inside of me. A hopeful flame. A burning desire slowly melting away the numbness I felt inside just moments before. Maybe I escape and get stronger. Gain the ability to kill Cattivo. I'll come back and kill him myself. I'll avenge my sister. I won't stop blaming myself until he is dead. This plan might take a while. A few weeks. Maybe even a year. But I think Adelaide would have faith in me. She always would have more faith in me than I could ever have in myself. Adelaide gave me hope. Hell, she still in giving me hope even after she's dead.

*Present Day Adelaide's POV*

(A/N: A few days has passed since the last chapter just to let you know!)

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

I hate mornings. Want to know the most annoying voice to wake up to is? Pounding. On doors. This is the thought that goes through my mind as I pull myself out of bed. I slowly walk to the door and pull it open.

'My morning just got worst. Of all days, why today?' I think to myself as I close the door on the Host Club. Thankfully, I was wearing a baggy shirt and shorts to sleep in.

"Kae-chan! Please open the door!" Tamar whines on the other side.

'He's even more annoying in the morning.' I sighed as went upstairs to change and grab my suitcase.

I sighed even deeper if possible when the door reopens and was carelessly slammed shut. I guess I forgot to lock it. Mr. Hitori had me working until three this morning and I didn't go to sleep till five. It's now seven-thirty.

"It's small." One of the twins says as soon as they walk into the door. They all settle in the livingroom.

"Be nice, Hikaru." Haruhi scolds. Haruhi looks like she would rather be anywhere but here with the Hosts. You and me both.

"Another commoner household! Gents! Commence gym sitting positions!" Tamaki says as he crossed his legs on the ground.

"I think it's cute, right Takashi?" Honey piped from his spot on the floor

"Yeah." Mori replies.

I get myself a cup of coffee before I take a sit in a chair. Looking up at the club I notice an important member missing.

"Where's Kyoya-Senpai?"

Honey answers, "He's still asleep. We decided to get you first so you could help us, Kae-chan"

The twins and Tamaki hide behind Mori with a frighten look on their faces.

"Help you?"

"Kyo-chan's grumpy when he wakes up." Honey replies.

"Ah, His blood type is AB isn't it?" I wonder out loud. My brother has the same blood type while I'm blood type A.

"He's scary! He almost took my head off last time I woke him up!" Tamaki says.

"Boss, that's because you poured icy cold water on him." The twin next to me said.

"Okay. I doubt he's that scary in the morning."

"Easy for you to say." Hikaru explains.

After finishing my coffee, I was in a better mood. Well, as good as my mood could get with the lack of sleep last night. The men in the Host club changed the topic into about the beach while Haruhi was looking at Ayame and I's bookcase. I joined her.

I spoke first, "Good morning Haruhi."

"Hello, Kaede." Haruhi gives me a smile.

"Do you like to read?" I ask.

"Yeah, but I study in the my spare time when I'm not with the host club so I never have time." Haruhi replies.

"Oh, that's sucks."

"So Sasaki-san left for Germany, didn't she?" Haruhi questions.

"Yeah. My rent goes out two days after we get back from the beach." I said.

"Well the offer to stay with me is still up if you want to."

"Of course, I would be delighted." I say while giving Haruhi a smile.

"My father would be happy to meet you. He's already might the Host Club."

I laughed quiet enough so only Haruhi could hear, "I don't want to know how that went."

"Yeah you don't." She laughs.

"It's seems like Kaede and Haruhi get along well, right Takashi?" Honey says.

"Yeah." Mori said.

"MY SON AND DAUGHTER ARE BEING NICE TO EACH OTHER! I MUST BE A GREAT DADDY!" Tamaki runs and pulls both of us into a bone crushing hug.

"I'm not your daughter/son." Haruhi and I said at the same time. With me saying son, of course.

"Harsh!" Tamaki replies as he pouts in his corner of woe.

"I'm sorry, Senpai. Please stop growing mushrooms." I plead while standing next to Tamaki.

"Don't we need to go wake, Kyoya-Senpai?" Haruhi asked no one in particular.

"Alright gents and Haruhi! Let's go see Mommy!" Tamaki bouncing back as he runs to the limo.

"Let me get my suitcase." I start to say before a large hand grabs it for me. I looked up and flashed Mori a small smile.

"Thank you, Mori-senpai."

"You're welcome." He said in a his very deep voice.

After locking the door to my house, we all get into the limo before driving away.

Surprisingly, it didn't take us very long to arrive at Kyoya's house. I didn't know that he only lived a few blocks from my house.

Tamaki and the twins where already at the door before I even unbuckled my seat belt. The rest of the gang and I joins them as Tamaki knocked on the door.

A maid answered, "Ah! Suoh-sama and company, it is very nice to see you! Please come in."

"Thank you, Arya-san." Tamaki replied as we followed him inside.

"Kyoya-sama is still upstairs. May I offer any one some tea?" She asks us politely.

"No thank you." We all replied and made our way upstairs.

I thought the outside of Kyoya-senpai's house was magnificent but it couldn't be compared to the extraordinary exterior of the inside. On our way through his house I could play but notice a room next to his with a beautiful grand piano in the middle of it. I'm guessing that it was a music room. I'm not as good as Tamaki but I do know how to play. My mother taught me a long time ago. I haven't play in a few months. She also taught me how to play the violin. The violin is the one I practiced that most while my brother played the piano. I wonder if I can still play my brother's favorite song. He always ask me to play it for him on the violin while he would play it on the piano because it is a duet piece for both instruments. Sometimes I would play the violin part to calm him down and fully wake him up.

We stopped at the door to Kyoya's bedroom. Tamaki and the twins both looked to afraid to open it. Honey was wondering if there was any cake downstairs. Haruhi looks tired and like theres more important things to do than be here. Mori looked straight ahead with an expressionless face but looking closely, he has a thoughtful look in his eyes. I guess that just leaves me. I sighed. 'How bad can he be? I use to have to wake up Addison every morning and he was always in a terrible mood. It didn't affect me. No one else was willing to wake him up. Maybe Kyoya isn't as bad as my twin.' I walked closer to the door and put my hand on the door knob.

"Kaede, don't do it! My son is too young to die!" Tamaki whined.

"I'll be fine. Besides, it all depends how you wake him." I said.

The club follows me as we enter the bedroom. It a very modern room with a very high ceiling. The sound of snoring brings my attention to the bed. Kyoya looks so peaceful when he's asleep. But awake, that's a whole different story. Which earns him the name of Shadow King.

"How about you guys try to wake him up, first?" I ask the club.

"How about pancakes? Everyone likes pancakes, right Takashi?" Honey says while randomly pulling out a pancake from no where. He waved it in front of Kyoya's face. "Kyo-chan, wake up!" Kyoya mumbles incoherently in his sleep and turns his head into the pillow.

"Oh well, I tried my best!" Honey said before eating the pancake.

"Let Daddy try!" Tamaki yells surprising not waking up Kyoya after clashing two symbols together. 'He's a really deep sleeper.' I think to myself.

"Drastic times," One twin starts

"Calls for drastic measures." The other twin ends. 'This will not end well' I think as I quietly slip out the door unnoticed.

I was still able to hear the Hosts as I enter the room next door. I'm amazed by the decor and the instruments in the room. A smile forms on my face when I find myself glazing at the most beautiful violin I have ever seen. I remember the last time I picked up a violin. It was the morning of August first, the day my family and I was captured.. My brother was in a grouchy mood and I knew only playing the violin would be the only way to wake him up completely. The song I would play is my favorite song on the violin, as well as my brother's on the piano. My family loved it when I played because they told me that's when my 'true colors' show. I take a deep breath as I pick up the wooden masterpiece. I couldn't help but relive in the memories that seemed to have happened years ago.

*No one's POV*

"Fire in the hole!" The devil brothers yell while throwing a bag of snapping turtles at a sleeping Kyoya.

Kyoya wakes up with an evil aura around him, "Who dares disturb my slumber...?"

The twins and Tamaki hide behind Mori while screaming, "Wrath of the Shadow King!"

Kyoya gives the club a death glare because speaking, Why did you put...snapping turtles in my bed?!"

The twins shrug and reply, "We're bored.."

"Where's Kae-chan?" Honey asks oblivious to Kyoya strangling Tamaki in the background.

"He must have left." Haruhi stated the obvious.

"Hmm" Mori stood expressionless but was deep in thought.

Kyoya starts chasing and shouting at Tamaki and the twins around the room before being interrupted by a beautiful melody filling the ears of the Host Club.

Kyoya stops and takes a deep breath which calms him down, turning him back into the Vice President the Hosts know and love.

"Oh what beautiful music fills these handsome ears of mine. We must find the source!" Tamaki and the Host walk out of the room and followed the sound next door.

"Ah, Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, No. 2. Chopin wrote this when he was twenty years old and which was composed between 1830 and 1832. However, this piece was not published until 1833. This song can also be played on the piano." Kyoya said while pushing his glasses up.

All of the Hosts looked shocked, not only by the beauty of the music, but by the emotion Kaede puts into the song.

"This song must be really important to him." Haruhi says.

"Kae-Kun must be showing his true colors, right Takashi?" Honey says with a smile on his face.

"Hmm." Mori replies.

"Who ever thought that" Hikaur trails off.

"he would be so passionate about music." Kaoru completes.

Tamaki suddenly got an idea and slowly made his way to the piano without being caught by Kaede. It's not like Kaede was going to notice. Her face looked soft with her eyes closed while she continued playing the song. Tamaki waited a moment before joining in.

(A/N: By the way, the Host still think she is a boy. Only Haruhi knows. Kyoya doesn't even know because Adelaide learned how to hide her identity perfectly by her father if she would ever have the need to in the future.)

*Adelaide's POV*

My eyes shot open once I heard the unmistakable sound of a piano playing Chopin's Op. 9, No. 2 in the back ground. Instead of seeing Addison, I see the concentrated look of Tamaki Suoh. I knew he was able to play the piano but I never thought he would know this song. Hearing the piano caused me to think of Addison even more. To my distraught, a lone tear slide down my cheek. There was always something about me playing the violin that caused all of my walls to fall. Once the song slowly closes, my walls come back up instantly. I reluctantly place the instrument into its case as my mind drifts to my twin brother. The sound of clapping burst through my sad thoughts in my mind.

"That was great, Kae-chan!" Honey exclaims as he propels at me and wraps his arms around my neck. I just stand there while listening to the compliments that Host are giving me. Honey lets me go and takes his place on Mori's shoulders.

"THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!" The President shouts above the rest. He engulfed me into another killing 'Tamaki hug'.

"Thank you, Tamaki-Senpai. I appreciate you joining me." I said once he left go and I was able to breathe.

"THAT WAS SO SWEET!" Tamaki shouts once again pulling me into a crushing hug.

"Your violin playing is surprising. Considering that you have a History scholarship instead of a Fine Arts one. How would you like to play your violin during the Host Club hours? I'll cut your debt by 1/6." Kyoya says while writing in his black notebook.

I gave them a unsure look, "I'll have to think about it."

"Who taught you how to play, Kae-chan?" Honey questioned innocently.

"My mother." I said quietly while looking at the ground.

"Oh. It was very good! She must have been a great teacher!" Honey said.

"Yes, she was." I look up and give Honey a shy smile.

I was then pulled into a big Host Club Hug. Well, excluding Mori and Kyoya, who aren't very affectionate. And Haruhi who didn't particular looked thrilled at having Tamaki rub his cheeks against hers. Tamaki kept on hugging her even after we all broke away.

"I hate to interrupt but we need to head to the beach." Kyoya says while grabbing his suitcase. I watched Haruhi shoot him a thankful smile before looking at me. I gave her a small smile which she returned before we both looked at Tamaki who was slightly blushing at whatever perverted thought crossed his mind at this moment.

"I can't believe I forgot!" Tamaki exclaims and pulls us all outside and into the limo.

"Idiot." Kyoya says cooly, his glasses making a glare that makes it impossible to see his eyes.

"Momma!" Tamaki cries.

We all block out Tamaki's whines and mumbling, except the twins who started teasing the boss. After a drive that droned on for hours, we finally arrived at our vacation site.

"Who private house is this?" I wonder while we all get out of the limo.

"Nekozawa's." Kyoya answers. I noticed that Tamaki's face paled.

"Hm. I've never met him. Why his house?"

"You're never going to met him! I won't let my son met that creepy weirdo! He'll curse you like he cursed me!" Tamaki freaks out and hide behind Mori. Poor Mori.

"He cursed you?"

"Yes he di-" Tamaki started to say before being cut off by Kyoya,

"You entered a foreign language class and took their Greek test." Kyoya said.

"Then explain why my legs felt like lead the next day!" Tamaki shouts.

Kyoya says, "You ran a marathon the day before."

"He seems pretty cool." I replied not listening to Tamaki's remarks about how 'evil' this guy is.

"To answer your question, Nekozawa invited us after we helped him reconnect with his sister last semester."

"Oh." I said while grabbing my bag and went after the rest of the host to the mansion. This place is beautiful! Hopefully, I won't have to wear a swimsuit or going swimming. I really didn't want the Hosts to figure out my fear.

After setting our bags in our rooms. My room was on the second story next door to Haruhi and across from the twins. Tamaki's was next to the twins and Kyoya was on the other side. Mori and Honey use the room next to mine.

The Host and I went on the beach and set out umbrellas and towels to sit on. I was laying down on a towel when giggles and shadows went over me. Looking up, I found myself face to face with a few of our customers.

I gave them a shy smile and held up a finger meaning that I would be right back. I made my way to Kyoya and sat next to him.

"I thought this was a vacation." I asked him.

"Not today. You shouldn't have a problem with only one day of hosting, right?" Kyoya questioned with a menacing look in his eye.

"No, Kyoya-Senpai. Of course, not."

"Good." He replies as I return to the girls.

"Hi." I said quietly.

"You're so cute!" They girls said.

One of the girls continued, "Could you teach me something in German?"

"Umm sure." I said while thinking. Maybe if I act more like Tamaki my debt would go away faster. I continue, "Du bist schon, meine Liebe."

"What does that mean?" The girl asked.

"You are beautiful, my love." I replied while giving her a shy smile.

"KAWAII!" The girl screams and blushes profoundly.

The girls all hug each other repeating how adorable and cute I am.

"Why don't you ladies go swimming?" I asked them after a while.

"Would you like to come with us?" One of them,

"No thank you. I can see your beauty perfectly from right here." I gave them a wink.

They all blushed and let out girlish screams before going into the water. 'It's really awkward for me to do this job. I wonder how Haruhi manages.' I think as I look around for her. Instead of finding her, I find the twins jumping off of the nearby cliff. Idiots. Their going to get hurt or something. Even if I'm afraid of water, if I watched someone drown or get injured I wouldn't think twice about jumping in and saving them. Just for when that happens, I decided to sit on a nearby rock. It's not too far from the guest but not too close to the water for my discomfort.

"Hi, Kae-chan!" A customer of mine, Akira, yells for me as she looks over the edge of the cliff.

I give her a slight wave as I watch one of the twins jump off the cliff and lands safely into the water. Said Twin swims back to the beach and rejoins his twin. Akira waved back when her other hand slipped and she fell off the cliff.

"Akira!" Another girl screamed when caused all the Hosts to look in our direction.

I didn't think another thought when I suddenly jumped off the rock and swam to Akira. Once I got to her I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her on the rock I was just on. I realized that she hit her head and was unconscious. I was about to pull myself up, when a wave splashed against the rock and caused me to lose my grip. I didn't have any time to scream before I being dragged under.

Safety felt miles away. It was as if no matter how much I swam, I would never reach it. The lack of air reminded me of those times he would stick my head in that bucket. I was sore. Tired. Ready to give up. My legs are like lead. My chest felt like it was hit with a baseball bat. Is this the end? It's getting harder and harder to breathe. That was the last thought I had before the darkness consumed me.
