Rin stepped out of the bathroom after fixing her hair back into her blue beanie, s tugging her damp bangs over her eye. The swim cap was really tight so she decided to put her beanie back on seeing as that they weren't going to go swimming again.

"This is a map of the tropical aqua garden and this is where we are now." Rin approached the rest of the group as he was explaining the map to everyone. "We need to get here I have a feeling that's where honey probably ended up." Rin looked at where Kyouya was pointing and sighed. It wasent too far and there were fancy yellow paths to follow. "It'll be tough because we have to go thought this jungle area here."

Rin sighed "Of course…" she drug a hand down her face "how far are we talking?"

"Distance wise were talking about…800 meters." Kyouya answerd

"It looks like there are a lot of undeveloped areas…" Haruhi noted "do you have any idea what might be out there?"

"Since they are still being developed I'm afraid I don't know…" Kyouya shrugged

"Whatever out there could be more dangerous-" Hikaru began

"Than alligators…" Kaoru merped.

Rin took a side glance at Mori to see that he started standing a bit closer to her, still with a blank expression on his face. Rin brushed it off and returned her gaze to the map.

"Alright!" Tamaki shouted "Now this is a mission of survival! I know we can make it though the treacherous jungle in one piece it is our sworn duty to save honey sempai!"

Rin noticed something as they were walking through the jungle. One Mori had been walking a bit closer to her than normal, it wasent like he was like right next to her and almost touching but he walked behind her as if to watch her and Rin felt a teensy bit enerved about this. Two flip flops were not a good idea for the day she was already getting blisters between her toes and three how freaking realistic this place was… you couldn't tell where you were unless you looked up and saw the dome around the park but still it was as if they were really in the jungle.

"Wow… this place is just like a real jungle huh?" Tamaki spoke what Rin was thinking to herself.

"Yeah and I keep on hearing all these really strange animal calls…" Haruhi muttered

"You don't think those animal calls…" Hikaru began

"Belong to the real thing do you?" Kaoru finished.

"I don't know they sound too real to be a recording…" Rin stated looking around her nervously "I haven't seen any speakers though…unless they're disguised as something else… Kyouya?"

"To be honest I'm not sure…" Kyouya shrugged "But I do know that my family strives for authenticity whatever the cost…"

"And you said this was a healing facility…" Rin grumbled shoving her hands in her jacket pockets. "Healing facility my ass…" she grumbled

"Hungah!" Mori grunted. Rin turned around and discovered that he had slipped on a bandanna peel…where the heck do these bananas even come from any way?

"Mori sempai is…" Hikaru began

"Acting clumsy as you do boss." Kaoru finished nervously.

"Shut up!" Tamaki scolded.

Rin leaned over Mori and picked the banana up off his face. "Are you okay Mori?" Rin asked gently. She got no answer as Mori stood up and stared off into the distance he must be really worried about Honey... that's probably why he's acting so clumsy.

Suddenly it went dark and there was the rumble of thunder in the distance.

"Uh-oh" Kyouya looked at his watch "It's about time for the squall…"

"What do you mean Squall?" suddenly it began to rain. Hard. The Host club immediately ran to the refuge of a cabana nearby. "What kind of healing facility has a regular squall?" Rin asked with her hood up as she rung out her now soaked beanie. "Most people don't find storms very relaxing or a place to heal thy self."

"Well I did say that my family strives for authenticity didn't I?" Kyouya purred pushing his glasses up.

"Like I said…" Rin slipped her beanie back on still managing to keep her bald spot hidden "Healing facility my ASS" she growled.

"Hey Mori sempai." Haruhi called out. "You and Honey sempai seem really close are you two childhood friends?"

"You mean you don't know?" Hikaru inquired

"That they're cousins?" Kaoru finished.

"Seriously?" Rin perked up

"You're kidding!" Haruhi's mouth fell agape

"The Morinozuka's have been serving the Haninozuka's for generations…" Kyouya explained as if that were a simple fact.

"So he's his servant?" Rin crossed her arms "Seems kinda wrong to make a family member serve you…"

"No it's not like that…" Hikaru explained "about two generations ago the families became relatives by marriage and the master servant relationship became a thing of the past."

"Oh." Rin stated relaxing a little bit.

"But still Mori sempai has always made a point to accompany Honey-Sempai." Kaoru stated

"Must really get his blood going…" Tamaki stated as he watched Mori stare out into the rain. "The blood of a loyal servant flows like a mighty river though Mori-Sempai's veins."

"SO TOUCHING! SO BEAUTIFUL!" Hikaru and Kaoru grabbed tissue and began softly sobbing

"I don't know if I would call it a beautiful story…" Haruhi shrugged.

Rin looked over at Mori and felt a bit more pity for him. She kind of understood the whole blood and loyalty thing, it was like her and her sister Iku, and they never really made an official pact to look out for each other they kind of just did. Anytime Iku needed her she was there and vice versa. She would be devastated if anything ever happened to her sister…and Mori must be feeling the same way about Honey. She took a deep breath and walked over to Mori and touched his arm gently.

"Hey Mori?" she called gently and Mori turned and looked down at her "Honey is gonna be fine." She smiled brightly "He's safe I'm sure of it! He's a lot tougher than he looks."

"Yeah." Haruhi joined in "And if he gets hungry the trees are full of bananas."

"Considering you and Tamaki slipped on them earlier…" Rin smirked trying to get a laugh out of Mori.

Mori looked at Rin for a second taking note that her small hand was still on his arm. He smirked and gave her a very firm pat on the head.

"Your right." He smiled ever so slightly. Wow I've never seen him smile before…ever… Rin smiled brightly back, she decided he had a nice smile.

"DON'T TELL ME MORI IS AFTER MY SPOT AS MY LITTLE GIRL'S DADDY?!" Tamaki screamed at the top of his lungs horror soaking in his words. Rin had a nasty look and her face…she felt a little sick after hearing that comment.

"Nobody wants that position but you boss…" Hikaru stated.

"It's kinda creepy when you think about it…" Kaoru trailed.

Rin turned her attention away from Tamaki's little conniption fit with the twins and looked at Mori who returned watching the rain.

"Do you like the Rain?" Rin asked sitting on the railing next to him.

"Yeah." He replied simply.

"I kinda do to..." Rin watched the rain with him "I like it better when there's a storm I like to hear the thunder." Mori looked at her though the corner of his eye for a brief moment before turning his attention back to the rain. Then suddenly something familiar came to his senses…he began sniffing the air.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888

"Mori sempai!" Haruhi chased after Mori who was currently parading though the foliage "Honey sempai went this way!"

"Come back! Dude your going the wrong way!" Rin called in step behind Haruhi

"You're wrong he went this way…" Mori stated and continued trekking though the woods.

"Okay Haruhi…" Rin grabbed her shoulder "I can't let him go by himself it's dangerous." She walked backwards towards Mori. "Just…go back to the others and explain what's going on alright?" she began jogging towards Mori hearing Haruhi yell 'be safe' behind her. "Mori wait up!" she called jumping over logs and dogging trees and instantly regretted wearing flip flops. "It's dangerous to go Alo-AHHHH!" Rin gripped a tree as she almost fell into a small pond and pulled herself back up to find a snake slithering over her fingers "AHHHH!" she backed away quickly then ran into another tree. She whirled around to realize it wasent a tree and it was indeed Mori standing there.

"Rin…" She heard Mori say simply. He scooped her up in one arm and cradled her close to his broad chest. I think that's the first time he's ever said my name… Rin's cheeks turned red as Mori held her against him protectively and began walking in a certain direction. It also surprised Rin the fact that stopped his mission to come back and help her.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 8888

Rin leaned her head on Mori's shoulder awkwardly not sure what to do with her hands she just held on to his shoulder. The blush had not left her cheeks since he picked her up she was basically laying on his naked chest, not that he didn't have a nice chest because he did but still! And the worst part was they had not said a word the entire time. He would occasionally sniff the air but that was it. She thought about starting a conversation but what would she say? 'Hey you got nice abs there do you lift?' Rin almost laughed at herself at the mere thought. Suddenly he stopped dead and she felt his muscles tense up she looked at his face and saw his eyes were alert.

"What's wrong?" Rin asked suddenly from the trees a bunch of ninjas slid down on ropes and surrounded us. "Oh….shit…" Rin mumbled looking around at the men. Mori held her tighter as he eyed the ninjas.

"The target has been captured by a suspicious man!" One of them said cocking his gun "We'll take him into custody!"

"You there!" One of them pointed at Mori "Put to boy down! If you refuse we'll remove him forcefully!" they all aimed guns at him. Mori showed no signs of putting Rin down and held her closer.

"Wait a second! He's not kidnapping me he-" suddenly one of the ninjas grabbed Rin's forearm and didn't take the time to be gentle about it either. "Let me go!" She squirmed hitting his hand. Suddenly Mori shot out his fist and punched him square in the face cracking his face mask sending him flying across the clearing.

"Suspect is resisting! Prepare to fire warning shots!" well…it's not really a warning shot if you announce it first… they aimed their guns at them. Rin held her hands over her ears preparing herself for the shots when…

"Takashi Ri-Chan out of the way!" it was honey sempai! He swung in on a vine and kicked a ninja square in the face.

"Whoa!" Rin smiled as she watched Honey beat the living crap out of the ninjas.

"You guys should be careful who you mess with!" Honey scolded "Picking on my friends is bad! Got it?!" he wagged his finger threateningly at them.

"Honey!" She cheered as Mori set her down "That was incredible!"

"There they are!" Haruhi exclaimed as the rest of the host club sprinted towards us. "We were so worried!"

"I'm not sure what happened here but at least they're still alive." Hikaru murmured as he poked at one of the fallen ninjas.

"It's pretty amazing that this is honey sempai's work he must've been really holding back…." Kaoru noted

"Wait honey sempai did this?" Haruhi asked astonished

"He was holding back?" Rin asked with equal amount of astonishment.

"So then?"

"You don't know about sempai?"

"The Haninozukas are famous for their marital arts!" Hikaru explained

"Not only have they helped train the police force but the army as well."

"Honey sempai in particular had been called a dread knot of the Honeynozuka family, by the time he was in middle school he had become the national champion in both Karate and judo." Kyouya noted.

"Mori-sempai is no slouch either." Tamaki started "he won't the national championship in kendo when he was just in middle school."

"That's pretty cool…" Rin smiled.

"We humbly apologize." They hadn't noticed but the ninjas from before were now bowing before us. "I am a second generation student of the ishuzuku dojo."

"I'm a student of the todoroki dojo!" another yelped

"We are in your debt!"

"Why?" honey tilted his head to the side "Is something wrong?"

"Yes sir we're so sorry sir!" he continued to babble on how sorry he was and how he didn't know who they were searching for.

Hmmmm… guess threes more to him than bunnies and rainbows huh? Rin thought to herself

"Takashi!" Honey patted his larger friend on the head prasingly. "You did an amazing job protecting Ri-chan!" Rin perked up a bit I forgot to say thank you to him… "I bet you were pretty lonely without me around huh?"

Takashi thought for a moment before giving a small side glances over at Rin "I don't know if I would say that…" Honey just giggled knowingly.

Huh…Rin thought to herself…maybe he does like her? "Mori?" she walked up to him and he looked down at her with a blank face. "Thank you for protecting me…" she smiled up at him wondering if she should hug him or not but decided against it. Mori smirked at her and gave her a firm pat of the head.

"Your welcome." He smiled. Rin let a small gasp escape her lips…he said something other than yeah to her... and he said her name all in one day.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Mori had put honey on his shoulders and carried him back to their original spot. He hadn't shown Rin much attention the whole way back, most likely because he got honey back and wanted to concentrate on him for awhile.

I wonder if he protected me because it's in his nature to protect… Rin wondered to herself as she watched Mori and Honey from behind and since honey wasent around he protected me instead. She thought about what honey said earlier about him thinking she's pretty, could that have something to do with it? Rin sighed and shoved her hands into her pockets. No matter if he thinks I'm pretty that doesn't mean he likes me and plus he cares too much for Honey sempai to notice me. Rin felt a bit relived and a bit disappointed at the same time, maybe it would'nt be so bad if Mori liked her he seemed like a nice guy and if he did would she like him right back?

Mori suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Rin to make sure she passed in front of him, when she did he began walking again. This did not go unnoticed by Rin. She didn't say anything but she did feel a bit pleased with herself. He probably still feels a bit protective of me that's all. But was that really all? Was it?

"You know we should go to the beach next." Kaoru sighed throwing his hands behind his head

"Yeah the beach would be nice!" Hikaru agreed. Rin suddenly stiffened

"You idiots…" Tamaki sighed "Haruhi isn't interested in something like that…"

"Actually…" Haruhi began "I might like to go to the beach." She stated "I may not be into this silly water park but I like the ocean. It would be nice to go to the beach and it's so pretty." Rin watched this play out from the sidelines with an unsettling pit in her stomach. "What do you think Rin would you like to go to the beach?...Rin?"

"Huh? Oh yeah the beach umm…." Rin scratched the back of her neck "Sounds…fun?"

"Yeah…alright!" Tamaki exclaimed proudly. "Then that's where we'll go next!"

"Were all going to go to the beach Tama-Chan?" Honey glowed and set his chin on top of Mori's head "that'll be fun don't cha' think?"

"Yeah." Mori agreed.

Rin had a bead of sweat drip down her forehead as she rubbed her forearms nervously. What could she possibly be worried about?

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888

Uh-oh why do you think Rin's so nervous? And what do you think now? does mori have a crush on her or is he just protective of her? Or he just thinks shes pretty?
