Hi readers! Once again, thank you so much for all your support! Please feel free to share your ideas with me!

To guest O.o: Thank you so much for the review! I would have loved to PM you, because I feel you wouldn't come back to read my next chapter to see this note… I understand that there has been very little or no character development at this point; it is only my second month of writing fanfiction (still no excuse, I know) and the story is still quite far from its end. But I would love to hear your thoughts on what I should do to improve! It made me more aware of my story's direction and it was a great thought to sleep on! Thank you!


"HIKARU~ HAHAH WAIT UP!" Kaoru ran after his older brother, who was sprinting down the street. Their day was over and they were finally heading home. Due to their driver's busy schedule, the two brothers volunteered to walk home. It really wasn't too far away. Maybe, about six to seven blocks at most. Usually, they had their driver pick them up because they were just too lazy. Kaoru finally caught up as they took a left into their gated neighborhood, where they saw a tall lean brunette boy walking in front of them. His back looked extremely familiar… Do I know this guy from somewhere, Kaoru asked himself.

Hikaru immediately recognized the boy or just jumped to conclusions. Either way, he approached the brunette from behind and swung him around. "Ah! Hikaru! What are you doing," Kaoru shouted after his twin, pulling him away from the brunette. He was in shock to see who his brother had found. Koller?! Why?!

The brunette wore an intense glare at the two Hitachiin brothers. "What was that for?"

"Is your name Brain Koller," Hikaru asked, unfazed by Koller's gaze.

"Yeah? What's it mean to you?"

"A creep."

"What?" His eyes became narrowed. "Under what context?"

"Every," Hikaru said stubbornly.

"Wow. Is this some kind of joke?" Brian turned to leave until Hikaru grabbed his arm on impulse and turned him back around.

"Yuubi Shitoyaka… What you did to her was unacceptable!" His voice rose suddenly, and he had no control of his words as they spilled out of his mouth like vomit. Kaoru's eyes widened.

Brian's lips suddenly curved into a chilling smile. "…Ahh you're the rich boys from the host club… Oh wow… Did she come crying to you guys for comfort? After kissing me like that?" He shrugged at the twins. "Girls are so easy to read nowadays. Wow, looks like she loves hopping from guy to gu-"

"That's not true," Kaoru shouted, clenching his teeth. "Yuubi's not like that. A guy like you wouldn't know."

"Aha," Brian smirked. "Look. I know she's cute, but she's just a bitch. Okay?"

"She's not cute! And, she's NOT a bitch either," the two twins immediately shouted back, blushing a little.

"Ok well… Let me tell you the truth… She kept asking me to take her home because she wanted to have a rich guy, me, drive her home. The subway really sucks you know, so I took her home and she kissed me and invited me inside. Then, I just left her because I have better things to do then hang out in that tiny apartment with her. That's why she's so upset. Hahaha! Damn, looks like she's a fox, look at how she manipulated you guys! Poor fellas, girls are dangerous these days."

Hikaru's eyes widened. "STOP! That's NOT true," Kaoru shouted, tightly shutting his eyes and clenching his fists.

"Whatever you want to believe," he shrugged. "By the looks of it, she really has you boys wrapped around your finger," he stated mockingly, pointing at the two twins.

They paused. What is she? What if he was right? Would that make us fools? Brian Koller knew he had won; he smirked and waved, taking his leave.


The emptiness that they felt from Brian's statement grew like a virus within their hearts and followed them throughout the rest of the day and the next day. They couldn't look at her without feeling somewhat betrayed. Of course, they didn't want to believe Brian, but their minds seemed to keep dancing around his words, highlighting them and reminding the brothers of them. Their Thursday classes seemed to breeze by as they blankly stared out windows and argued with themselves. It was time to go to the host club.

"Hey guys," she cheerfully waved and walked towards them as they walked in.

The sight of her caused the irritation to fill their heads again. "What do you mean, hey?!" Hikaru coldly snapped at her.

"Hahaha! What do you mean by what do you mean," she asked, laughing loudly. He just glared at her, while Kaoru crossed his arms and coldly faced away from her. She suddenly picked up on the cold air. "Whoa… what… wait, what's wrong?" No response, more glaring. "… Kaoru?" No response, not even a quick look. She sighed and raised up her arms as if she was surrendering, "well it's cool if you guys don't want to talk about it… but if you do, I'm here for ya anytime." She turned around to leave.

"Why did you lie," Hikaru spat.

"What," she asked, both confused and shocked. Oh gosh, what is this?!

"Why did you lie," he repeated in a louder voice. The host club members were all looking at them now.

Haha damn, it's a scene now! What is this?! "Wait Hikaru… I really have no idea what you're talking about…" she tried to clarify.

"YOU LIED ABOUT THAT NIGHT!" Mori, Honey, Tamaki, Kyoya, and Haruhi had now circled the three.

"Hahaha what night? Oh my god. Stop yelling," she laughed nervously. Ugh, what is he talking about?

Kaoru put his hand on Hikaru's arm to comfort him and coldy said, "that night with Brain Koller… You lied about it didn't you?" Oh shit, Tamaki thought, quickly herding the customers out of the room.

The members watching and Yuubi were all taken aback by his statement. "What? Why are you guys bringing this up again? Didn't I tell you to drop it?"Her eyes seemed to lose color; the barriers had reappeared.

"You did! Didn't you," Kaoru asked, restraining himself from shouting. He looked down at his feet, not wanting to believe it.

"I didn't," she said flatly.

"But you did," the twins shouted desperately. "Just tell us if you did… you wanted Brian Koller, and he rejected you."

"What?! Where did you get this?!" She felt so accused.

"Brian told me everything! If he's not right, then what happened?!" Hikaru grabbed her arm and shook her.

"I already told you what happened," she choked. There was a noticeable tiredness in her voice as she looked down at her feet and brushed Hikaru's arm off hers.

"And are you just nice to all of us because we're rich…" Kaoru asked frigidly. Hearing that question, the host members seemed to tense up a little, examining her as she stood as the focus, feeling extremely vulnerable.

"Wow…" she gasped, choking on her words. "After all this time, that's how you two see me?..." She looked around at the other host members who were either frowning at her in pity or staring at her in disappointment. "Well… then… Whatever, I can't decide how you guys see me…" She tightly bit her lips. She hated the frustration of being misunderstood. She hated having to explain herself; she never did it, which was why she was always a suspect growing up. After all these years, she grew tired of it all. After a pause, she forced a smile at all of them, "I don't feel very good, today. So I'm going to leave. See you guys later." She fled out of the room before anybody could stop her. Why do I have to explain myself?

That idiot! How hard is it to just tell us we're wrong?! Kaoru wondered angrily, kicking the chair behind him. Hikaru ran up and hugged him, not only to comfort his brother but also to comfort himself.

"Is it true?… she just used us" Tamaki hesitantly asked, balling his hands up into a fist.

"… I don't know," Kaoru sighed.

"To be honest… I don't think Yuu-chan would do such a thing," Honey finally stepped in. "Don't you guys think she was being genuine all this time?"

"I'm not sure, senpai…"
