To Dakota Raine, I love the fact that your name ends in vowels, to answer your question about the nature of Sunny and A.J's relationship. They are, by law, brother and sister. After both his parents died they read his father's will (legal paper that contains instructions as to what the deceased wants if they should ever pass) and it said that Sunny's parents will be his legal guardians if anything were to happen to him. And since they grew up together, they are as comfortable together as any brother and sister. And this actually happen in real life so yes, they are both legal and metaphorical siblings.

The school year is almost over and I took my APUSH Exam today. Hours upon hours of testing with a stressful headache and I ended up with a late lunch and almost throwing up. This is why I hate stressing out about things, I end up with massive migraines.

Anyway, enough of my troubles, let's get down to it. I do not own OHSHC.

Sunny's POV

My biggest concern over the course of the weekend was, stressing out in wonder of what would happen when mine and Hikaru's relationship came into the light, that people were going to flip out. In every scenario that crossed my mind, the situation always ended badly.

The first scenario that it could have gone bad was the fact that I would then need to deal with the entire Hitachiin fan network. It's one thing when I would need to deal with regular high school American female bullies, but this was an entirely different country. I don't know how to handle situations in this environment, especially if the harassment were to come from girls that were ten times better than me in every way and have "known" Hikaru longer than I have.

Second scenario ended with Kyoya-senpai forbidding it. As strange and as stupid as it sounded, I was almost positive that he would view this as something that was going to ruin profits. I respect Kyoya-senpai and there are multiple times when I would not even question any pieces of directions and leadership he would throw at me. What I feared the most was that I when I would stand up and say that I was not going to break off my relationship with Hikaru, he would either take it out on Haruhi or Hikaru. I knew for a fact that I would not be kicked out of the club, because Tamaki-senpai would not allow it. As annoying as he was a times, he would do nothing to break the two of us up, he was too kindhearted and too much of a romantic to see anything wrong with the two of us being together.

The third scenario was the worst one. That our relationship would be broken off not by fangirls or the "Shadow King", but by me. My worst nightmare, literally, was that he was going to get hurt because of me. At the beach house I gave him a fair warning, that if he got hurt because of me, then I was going to break it off so that he would not have to deal with me. I came to terms with the fact that that could actually happen and I would be saying goodbye to my first boyfriend. I was bringing enough baggage into the start of our relationship to begin with and if any of that were to come after him, then that would be the end. He did not deserve to suffer because I entered his life, even with all the persistent "I want to be with you" would not be able to magically solve it. I haven't even figured out how to be a whole person by myself, now that I have entered this phase in my life that I am now a part of a couple, I need to keep myself in check for his sake.

Even now as Haruhi and I walked through the gates of the Academy, I could almost feel the waves of smugness coming from her. Something that she said months ago finally seemed to click in my head. I remember her words being "an opportunity to express his feelings onto someone else", I now realize that the "someone else" she was talking about is me. Figures that I was able to figure it out at the last possible moment. But not to be a smart-aleck or anything, but everything would have gone on a lot quicker and have been resolved a lot faster if she had told me right then and there all those months ago that he liked me. But knowing me, I would have probably thought that she was just misreading the entire situation, so maybe it was a good thing that his emotions came directly from his mouth, otherwise I might not have ever thought it to be true.

Instead of going off to Haruhi's classroom for lunch I stayed behind to have a little talk with Kyoya-senpai and Tamaki-senpai, since they were both in charge of the club. Kyoya-senpai simply nodded and asked for me to follow after him to the dinning hall, with Tamaki-senpai following close behind. As I walked next to him, I was certain that he saw this coming, with no surprise on his face or asking of what I wanted to discuss with him.

He chose a table where everyone could see us, but far enough away so no one would be able to eavesdrop on our conversation, probably wanting to draw as much attention as possible with three Host Club members out in the open. The two guys sat on one side and I seated myself on the other side. There was a male student passing by as I was about to scoot the chair out but before my hand was able to make contact with the back of the chair, he pulled it out for me. I smiled at his kindness and graciously sat down and settled myself in as he scooted my chair forward. I clenched the skirt of my uniform as I looked Kyoya-senpai in the eye, trying to look more confident than I actually was. If he picked up on how nervous I was, my battle was already half lost.

I paid a bit more attention to Kyoya-senpai because Tamaki-senpai wouldn't need as much persuasion as the the man with the heavily calculated eyes. It's funny how I used to think Kyoya-senpai was just cold, but his brain operated in a different way. If I looked closely enough into those dark eyes, I could see a gloss of empathy behind the scales. Contrary to popular belief, he did in fact have a soul, but he was too excellent at hiding it.

"I have asked to speak with you two so that we may discuss a matter of great significance," I started. I remember giving a speech during my freshman year of high school, even now I could hear the same tone of business in my voice, which I felt awful about because this was about Hikaru. But this was the only way that I would be able to get through to Kyoya-senapi. "I'm sure the two of you already know that both Hikaru and I are now a couple." Tamaki-senpai smiled to himself in triumph and Kyoya-senpai's eyes slightly narrowed as he tilted his head, they both looked at each other for a second. The exchange and look in their eyes was more than obvious, they both saw this coming.

Kyoya-senpai then chose this time to speak, his hand to his chin in thought. "Are you asking for our blessing or some sort," he asked, his face fully serious. I know that it was very inappropriate to do this but I laughed, my hand loosening from my dress to hide the sound. As soon as Kyoya-senpai's eyebrows rose, I quickly regained my composure and straightened in my seat.

"I'm sorry, but the very thought would be strange, don't you think? Hikaru and me dating, that is a matter between me and him." Feeling more confident in my train of speech, I raised my elbows onto the tables (a very impolite thing to do, if we were eating) and placed my chin on my intertwined fingers. "I just wanted to make sure that you two knew that whether you liked it or not, the two of us are together. But your acceptance in our relationship would make things go a lot smoother." There was a pause, long enough to make my pinkie twitch, a signal of my apprehension. Any person that didn't know any better would make the mistake of trying to fill in the silence, but since I'm not that idiotic, I stayed quiet. I was sure to stumble over my words, get too emotional, and entirely loose whatever leverage I had.

"Well, I for one, am very happy for the two of you," said Tamaki-senpai. "I was beginning to think that this would not have happened and that the situation would require some of our assistance." I mentally cringed at the thought of the entire club intervening, it would most likely end with the two of us locked in a closet until we both realized our awareness of the other. It's a good thing we went on that Valentine's Day getaway when we did or there would most likely have been a repeat of New Year's.

"That's very kind of you Tamaki-senpai, but luckily the two of us were able to find our way to each other on our own," I finished with a smile. I then turned to Kyoya-senpai, my smile sobering a little. "What do you think, senpai?" I didn't want to give off how nervous I was to hear his answer and I really wanted him to come to terms with this as peacefully as he was capable of.

"I knew that the two of you were getting together as soon as I walked in on the two of you in the living room-" His words made Tamaki-senpai's head swerve so fast I was surprised that it didn't snap off. Maybe there was a bit of good conscience behind those glasses. "-but as soon as everyone gets words of this, things are bound to take a drastic turn." As soon as those words left his mouth, the sheen disappeared. Uh oh, I was really in for it. "This matter is to be kept as private as possible and in order to hide this, there will be more guests that you will need to entertain." I fought hard to keep the surprise off my face, could this really the extent of his wrath?

"Just an increase in girls? That sounds more than doable," I said. But the relief quickly ended as soon as a gleam came over his glasses.

"Your female guest will increase, as well as your male guests," he emphasized. "Just like that student a few minutes ago, there are quite a few gentlemen at the academy that would like to get to know you a bit more. Your sessions would only need to be three or less and they will be under the same rules as the girls, they cannot touch you unless you touch them, any irregular outbursts and they will be kicked out." I was stunned into silence.

"Kyoya," snapped Tamaki-senpai, "I don't think that that would be appropriate under the circumstances. Think of how that little devil would feel if she were put through that. That is no way to start a relationship." I hadn't thought that Kyoya-senpai would take it that far, even if he only had a few days to think up this kind of penalty. Since he wasn't offering up any other substitutions then it seemed as if this was all he would bring to the table as compensation. What would Hikaru think when he caught wind of this? I couldn't think about his reaction right this instant, I needed to focus on this negotiation before I completely lost all of my composure.

"How long of a time have you decided to give me before I give you an appropriate answer?" I asked. This seemed to have stumped him for a few seconds, before it completely disappeared. My eyebrows raised just a little, but I hid my surprise with a smile that just radiated confidence, which I really didn't feel. "Did you really expect me to just agree to this, just like that? I asked for a simple conversation, but here you are ready to rope me into something that would not only affect me but would hurt someone very dear to me." I wanted to scream at him, but I was trained to be a lady and to look as such, even when I felt like anything but. Tamaki-senpai took this chance to excuse himself, running off before things got even more heated. I narrowed my eyes, keeping my face sweet as can be, so to not inform everyone that we were in the middle of a bit a disagreement. How dare he?! What makes him think that I would just agree to something like this?!

Kyoya-senpai took his time to come up with an answer as he starred after Tamaki-senpai, running away in a frantic and calm manner. He was probably thinking through his next move. "And if I told you that this was something that required an immediate answer?" he inquired. He smirked a little, thinking that he had the upper hand.

"Then this discussion is over," I snapped. The little smile was almost immediately wiped off his face and he knew that I was not backing down. "I don't care if you decide to add more to my debt but no one in the club will stand for it, not if they know that it was done without reason. Hikaru deserves to know, and I don't plan on making this kind of mistake and hurting him. I refuse to answer to you without any sort of discussion."

The silence was killing me and I wondered if I had gone too far. Kyoya-senpai was a very opportunistic creature and once he feels a threat to his pedestal, he will strike. I just hope that he comes to his senses and doesn't react too badly. "It's interesting to find out the lengths you are willing to go for this one boy. Is he worth it to be this intimidating?"

I shook my head at him, not seeing how much I'm concealing my anger, it slipped just a little bit. "I don't think I look all that intimidating, but then again looks can be deceiving. If I was to be that kind of a person, it would go something like this." I paused, raising my eyes and tilting my head at him. "I walk away from this table in the most dramatic way possible, go to classroom 2-A and kiss Hikaru in front of everyone. The club loses profit in sells, a decrease of guests in protest, and you will not be selling any Brotherly Love Packages, not to mention there would be an all out war among the guests." I stopped again, long enough to see him blink three times in a row. I had him cornered. "But since I have not be pushed to that level yet let us discuss a time for me to get back to you and give you a proper answer, shall we?"

Just as Kyoya-senpai trained me, I smiled sweetly as a picked up my tea cup and very gracefully placed my hand on my knees. He kept me waiting long enough to give off the air of confidence, but I could see the look in his eyes, he had sorely underestimated me. "And what of the promise you made?" he asked. He pulled the recording device from the inside of his blazer and set it down on the table. My eyes landed on it, with a feeling of panic washing over me. I had completely forgotten that he carried that around with it on him.

I slowly raised my eyes to him, with steel in them. "That promise means nothing if you simply demand something from me. The terms stated that you must ask and then I comply if I so choose to. Besides this would be a breech because it's not just me that I'm speaking for anymore, I can't just act so freely and without thinking anymore."

The silence was back and there was a battle behind his eyes and just as quickly it would take you to blink, a small twinkle appeared in his eyes. "I shall give you until the day of your performance," he said. I closed my eyes and sighed in relief.

There was a small victory in me. I had won.

Most of the time you see Sunny as being sweet and kind, which is her actual personality, but since she has the same blood type as Kyoya and Honey things are bound to get a bit messy when she is pushed to an extreme. Was that a bit too out of line for you all or was it something that you think was long overdue?
