"Ohhh, Yukiiii!" A voice called merrily. Yuki froze in her spot, not wanting to turn around. She slowly turned her head and looked over her shoulder. The Host Club just entered the café.
"Gah!" Yuki cried in surprise, dropping a cup of coffee and it spilling all over her feet. She began to clean it up when she was glomped by Tamaki, Hunny, Hikaru, and Kaoru.
"We've missed you Yuki!" Hunny cried. "Takashi! Look! They've got cake!" Hunny stared in the glass cake, his mouth drooling.
"So this is where our slave runs off to." Hikaru said mischievously, giving Yuki his devilish smile. Yuki anime sweat drop, but did not meet Hikaru's eyes.
"Yuki! We are going boating! Let's go!" Tamaki declared, as he dragged Yuki outside. Yuki looked at Haruhi for help, and Haruhi shrugged. Then Haruhi looked closer at Yuki. There was fear in her eyes. Haruhi was about to say something, but they reached the docks.
"No! Stop! Stop! Lemme go! No!" Yuki screamed, terror in her voice. But Tamaki took no notice of this. Yuki struggled and finally broke free of his grasp. She ran away, but was soon tackled by the twins.
"Oh no, you don't. You're coming with us." The twins said in unison. They dragged Yuki onto a large pirate ship. It made cruise ships look small. Yuki was terrified of drowning in the water. That's how her dad died. Well, he's not really dead anymore, but that's what her mom told her. She shouldn't be so scared anymore, right? But she doesn't know how to swim.
"Off we go!" Tamaki declared, suddenly in a pirate captain's outfit.
"What!? Wait!" Yuki screamed, but the ship already departed from the dock. Everyone around her was suddenly dressed in pirate's costumes, and the girls from school were wearing old-fashioned dresses. Yuki found herself struggling to break free from the twins' grasp.
"You have to wear a costume too!" The twins yelled in unison.
"No way! Get me out of this coffin!" She screamed desperately. The twins were oblivious.
"Put on this costume." They ordered in unison, holding up a costume.
"No way!" Yuki snapped.
"If you don't, your debt will be doubled and you'll be right back where you started." Kyoya said, looking smug.
"But I cut it in half fair and square! Stop blackmailing me!" Yuki cried.
"And where would the fun be?" Kyoya asked. Yuki scowled and grabbed the costume, her hands trembling. She found a bathroom and changed in there, shaking the entire time and taking deep breaths.
"It's okay, Yuki." Yuki muttered to herself. "You'll be okay. Just stay down here and you'll be just fine…" She tried to control her shaking, but it did not work. She walked out of the changing room, and met everyone who was awaiting her.
"Yuki?" Haruhi asked. "Are you okay?" Yuki forced a smile, trying to make it big and happy, but it looked too big and too creepy.
"I'm perfectly fine. Thank you, Haruhi."
"You don't look fine. Are you afraid of the ship?" Yuki did not respond. She felt as though she got shot right in the heart. Busted. "It's okay. You can stay down here. Just say your really sea sick." Seasickness! Why didn't I think of that, Yuki thought. Haruhi patted her shoulder awkwardly and walked off.
"C'mon, Yuki!" The Hiitanchin twins grabbed her by each arm. Yuki pulled away, and then made herself look sick. "What's wrong?"
"I'm not feeling very good…I think I'm getting sea sick." Yuki walked slowly towards the stairs to the deck with no intention of actually going up.
"Oh, my dearest Yuki!" Tamaki cried. "You just go back to your cabin and rest right up!" Tamaki patted Yuki's shoulders. "Your cabin is number six! Go! Go relax and don't be sea sick anymore!" He handed her a key. Yuki could not believe how well this was working. She did everything in her power to not crack a smirk. She took the key and weakly thanked Tamaki, then went off to find her cabin.
"Liar, liar, pants on fire." Kyoya whispered in her ear when she passed him. She froze and he was looking even more smug, if that was even possible.
"Shh." Yuki shushed under her breath and hurried off to her cabin.
"Kyoya, what were you saying to Yuki?" Tamaki asked. "I wanna know too! I like secrets!"
"Oh, it's nothing, Tamaki. I was just saying that she should tryout for the school play, don't you think? I think she has very good acting skills."
"Really!? Well if she's going to be trying out for the school play, someone's got to teach her the art of drama properly!" Tamaki declared. "At dinner tonight, I shall give her the most exclusive teachings of how to act!"
"There he goes again…" The twins said in unison.
"What's he so excited for? Could it be that he's surprising us with more cake?" Hunny cried, clutching Usa-chan, standing next to Mori.
"I don't think that's it, Mitsukuni." Mori said.
"What is it, then?" Hunny asked. Everyone sighed as they made their way up the deck to entertain the ladies who awaited them. They were disappointed that Yuki was not with them. The weather was perfect: sunny and there was a breeze that gave the illusion that the pirate ship was powered by the wind. But in truth, there was a motor down below powering the ship. If there were no breeze, they would still travel with the motor.
And the rooms were not styled like a traditional pirate ship. Instead of hammocks, they had actual king-sized beds. The rooms were decorated to the fullest and fanciest extent. The Host Club did not hold back on anything and refused to be second best when it comes to entertaining girls. They want to achieve maximum pleasure and happiness from their guests.
