"What do you mean you're my twin?! I don't have a twin!" Yuki cried. Hazuki scowled, and grabbed Yuki's wrists. She dragged her into the back room and closed the door shut, locking it.

"Who are you!?" Yuki cried.

"Hoshizora Hazuki. I live with our dad, Hoshizora Aoi." She explained. "You're my sister, Ikeda Yuki. You take our mom's maiden name because she and dad divorced. Dad took me, and mom took you. We live in Kyoto, but dad came here for a business trip. He wouldn't tell me anything about my mom, so I came to find out for myself." She fished through her bag and pulled out an old photo. There was a younger version of her mom and a younger version of her dad. They were smiling and holding two baby girls with black hair.

Her dad was tall and handsome. He had black hair and reddish purple eyes like Yuki and Hazuki.

"Dad's….dad's alive?" Yuki asked.

"Alive?! Why would you think that he's dead!?" Hazuki cried.

"Mom told me." Yuki replied.

"Figures. Sounds like something she'd do…"

"What do you mean? I've been the one living with her! You don't know her!" Yuki snapped, already hating her twin for being a know-it-all.

"Dad told me all about her. That she doesn't care about anyone. All she cares about is beer, cigarettes, and poker. She comes home every night drunk. She beats everyone. She lies." Hazuki said. Yuki felt like getting a good bitch slap to the face.

"Well our dad isn't any better! He doesn't care about us! He favored you! He ran out on me. He didn't love me or my mom or my sister or brothers…"

"Of course he loves you just as much—"

"Shut up! He doesn't! If he did, he wouldn't have left me with that woman!" Yuki screamed, tears escaping, smearing the cover-up on her bruises. She flung the door open the ball that resumed. Yuki picked up her puppy, ran around everyone, and out the door. Hazuki did not follow her. Kyoya noted the bruises on Yuki's face, but kept himself quiet.

"That seemed to go well." Hazuki said, entering the ballroom.

"What'd you do to Yuki!?" The twins yelled, getting into her face. Hazuki was unfazed.

"She's been lied to." She simply answered, walking around them and leaving.

"YUKI!" The twins yelled, running out the door.

Yuki ran home. When she was in the safety of her home, she tore off the stupid Halloween costume and jumped into the cold shower, washing away the night. It did not happen. Her mom did not lie to her. It was just some stupid doppelganger trying to get inside her head and screw with her. Yuki cursed to herself multiple times as she changed into her pajamas. She heard the door downstairs open and close. Yuki tensed and slowly made her way to the door.

It was her mom, walking unbalanced. Yuki sighed and walked downstairs to bring her back up.

"Hi, Mom." She set her new puppy down.

"Don't yeh back talk meh!" She slurred. Yuki sighed again. Then she thought that maybe she can get some answers.

"Mom, is dad alive?" She asked, trying to see if she can get an honest answer when her mom's most vulnerable.

"Of course dat basturd's alive! He left yeh and meh!" She shouted, angrily. So Hazuki was right.

"And I have a twin?"

"Yer fader didn't love yeh! He loved Hazuki, your twin sistah. He took her away from us! And now he's some big-shot zaibatsu owner who specializes in animal hospital managements!" Yuki wants to be a vet. If she lived with him, she could've been like Hazuki. She'd be sure that there'd be food the next day. She'd get nice clothes and a good tutor for her dyslexia. She'd go to college! She'd be a vet! That was the life she wanted… Why did she deserve this? Taking care of her drunk mom and little sister while her brothers were at work.

"Did Daichi and Michio know?" Yuki asked.

"Of course! Daichi and Michio haven't been at work. They work with him! With your father! They're gonna be his successor! There'b gonna be gread vets!" Anger boiled in Yuki.

Hikaru and Kaoru arrived at Yuki's house, but did not go in. They peered in through the windows, and found Yuki and her mom talking. Her mom was unbalanced on her feet, obviously drunk. Yuki did not look happy at all. Yuki shook her head and grabbed her mom's arm, leading her by the stairs. Then, Yuki's mom yelled (the twins couldn't hear) and beat her. Yuki endured every blow and continued trying to pull her mom to the stairs.

The twins tried contacting the Host Club for backup.

There was a fatal blow to the head and Yuki collapsed. She was conscious, and slowly got to her feet. Her drunken mother then grabbed a kitchen knife and threatened Yuki with it. She screamed and tried to get the knife out of her hands. Her mom slashed at her with it, creating a scarlet line that oozed.

The outraged twins kicked the doors down and tackled Yuki's mom. Yuki yelped in surprise, as her mom tried to stab Hikaru and Kaoru. The phone began to ring. It distracted Yuki, and she saw one of the twins take a blow for her. Yuki screamed, her eyes watering.

"No!" She grabbed Hikaru as he fell. She pulled him aside from the raging Kaoru. The door was broken down and Hunny and Mori entered. Reika was barking crazily.

"Don't hold back, Takashi! She hurt Yuki and Hikaru!" Hunny exclaimed, charging at Yuki's mom. Mori nodded, and they went after her. They disarmed her, and knocked her unconscious in under a minute. "Bad lady! Bad, bad, bad lady!" Hunny yelled. Tamaki, Kyoya, and Haruhi entered.

"Is my little girl alright!? Where's Yuki!?" Tamaki exclaimed. Yuki and Kaoru were beside a moaning Hikaru.

"I'll call an ambulance." Haruhi said, pulling out her phone.

"No!" Yuki screamed suddenly. It startled Haruhi so much that she dropped the phone. "They'll find out what happened and my mom will go to jail! I know she deserves to, but she can't go to jail! Not now!" Yuki begged.

"Yuki…"

"Please!" They all exchanged looks. Kaoru picked up his brother in his arms.

"My twin's hurt. He's going to the hospital. Milord, can you take us?" Kaoru asked.

"Sure. Let's go." Tamaki seemed to have been in shock, but Yuki could not move. She was stuck kneeling on the floor.

"You have one new voicemail." The phone said. Yuki looked up and waited.

"Hey, Ikeda. I've got a hearing coming up, so you better pray the jury votes me guilty. But I've got the best lawyer in town. Once I'm out, I'm coming to get you. You don't turn your backs on us like that. You're going to have to pay. I'll get you, and your little sister and your mother. I know where you live-where you sleep at night. I'm going to be your worst nightmare. Don't bother running or hiding. I'll find you. You'll be with your little Host Club from school." Sakura's voice said. There was a beep and it was over. The Host Club gasped. Yuki froze in her spot, eyes wide and full of fear and tears.

"Yuki," Kyoya began. Yuki ignored him. "Yuki." She did not say anything. "You shouldn't be here."

"I know."

"You have to stay with me." Kyoya said.

"I'll be fine. Nothing I can't handle, right?" Yuki forced a smile.

"Stop kidding yourself. You're staying with me." And with that, Kyoya went upstairs.

"C-can Akina stay with you?" Yuki asked Hunny and Mori. "She loves you guys and I just want her pro-protected…"

"Of course!" Hunny said cheerfully, climbing on Mori's shoulders.

"What about your mom, Yuki?" Haruhi asked. Yuki looked at her mom's unconscious body and gave a harsh chuckle.

"Her? She won't leave. It's her nature. I think she'll be fine."

"Are you sure?" Kaoru asked. Yuki nodded.

"Positive. Trust me on this." With that, Yuki stood up and picked up her mother. She carried her up the stairs and into her bedroom. Yuki laid her down on her bed and tucked her nicely.

"Of course, to stay in my house you'll have to work for us. You'll be our maid." Kyoya said in the doorway.

"What!?" Yuki cried.

"Why'd you bring her up?" Kyoya changed the subject with ease. "She just tried to kill you."

"I know, but… She's still my mom. It just doesn't feel right in my heart to just…leave her." Yuki noticed her old shabby suitcase packed to its full capacity. Kyoya was holding it. He motioned her to follow him. Yuki bent over and kissed her mom on the forehead. A drop of blood from Yuki's cheek fell on her forehead. But Yuki did not notice and she followed Kyoya downstairs. He wrote a note and left it on the counter. Akina was curled up in Mori's arms, fast asleep in her pajamas. In his free hand was her shabby old suitcase. Yuki picked up Reika and carried her.

Kaoru has already left with Hikaru, Tamaki, and Haruhi. Kyoya lead Yuki to his car and she got in the backseat with him, her heart unable to slow down.

"You're still bleeding." He said, wiping her cut with a napkin.

"Why are you being nice to me?" If he was surprised by Yuki's question, he didn't show it.

"What do you mean? I think this benefits the both of us. You get a safe place to live, and I get a slave." Yuki scowled, then sighed.

"I can't see Hikaru…" Yuki said.

"Why not?"

"It's my fault he got hurt. I got distracted and he took the stab for me." Yuki replied quietly.

"It's not your fault." Yuki ignored him and rested her head against the window. She sighed, steam forming on the window. She was numb with shock and guilt. She was not afraid of Sakura (okay, maybe a little bit), but she felt guilty for putting her family in danger. Hikaru got stabbed because of her. If only the phone didn't distract her. If only she knew they followed her. She could've sent them home before they got hurt. Her mom has beaten her countless of times, but she never drew a knife on her.

The rest of the day's events led Yuki into disbelief that they actually happened. Her brothers lied to her. Everyone has been lying to her. She has a twin. Her dad's alive and successful. Her dad hates her. Why? Why did he hate her? She looks exactly like Hazuki. Why did he prefer her? Why did he leave her with that woman? She needed more answers. But she was exhausted.

Yuki was not surprised by the size of Kyoya's house. When the driver stopped in front of it, Yuki got herself out and grabbed her bag. The driver opened Kyoya's door and he stepped out. Yuki followed Kyoya into the mansion, while the driver drove away.

Once they were inside the mansion, a young woman greeted them. She was tall and older than both Yuki and Kyoya, maybe in her twenties. She had jet-black hair like Kyoya. It was long and curly, with her bangs to the side. She had dark eyes.

"Kyoya! Welcome home!" She greeted cheerfully.

"Hello, Fuyumi." He greeted unemotionally.

"Who's your friend?" She asked, peering over to get a good look at Yuki.

"She's our new maid. She'll be staying with us." He replied.

"She's so cute! But don't we have enough maids already?" She asked, hugging Yuki. Yuki stepped away, not used to hugs. Kyoya turned and headed down a hallway.

"Please show Yuki the maid's quarters. Good night." Fuyumi smiled and started down the hallway in the opposite direction.

"Welcome, Yuki? Was it?" She asked.

"Ikeda Yuki. But just call me Yuki." The pair headed up a flight of stairs.

"I'm Kyoya's sister. Fuyumi. Please to meet you." Yuki smiled a little.

"Yeah. Same." Fuyumi lead Yuki up another flight of stairs. They reached a door, and Fuyumi went through. Yuki followed, and they walked across an indoor bridge to a separate building. Yuki looked around. It seemed like an apartment complex. There was name's on every door. The doors were spread out.

"You get the best one. It's on the roof." They ascended another flight of stairs.

"The roof!?" Yuki cried. They went through a door, and the cool night air welcomed Yuki. There, taking up a quarter of the roof, was a small cabin.

"Here you are. If any of the Ohtori member's request your assistance, they will buzz you. Have a good night." She handed Yuki two keys, bowed, and left. Yuki hid one of the keys in a plate they had on the roof. Yuki used the other to unlock the door and go inside.

Inside the maid's quarters, there was one bathroom with a toilet, shower, sink, and bathtub. There was a kitchen, and a small living room. The living room only had a couch and a coffee table. Yuki carried her bag into the bedroom. It was larger than her old one, but it was still fairly small. There was a queen-sized bed with one blanket and four pillows. There was a small closet and some bedroom drawers. The walls were blank everywhere. She set Reika down.

Yuki dropped her bag and collapsed on the bed, and welcomed sleep.
