Yuki coughed. She was actually coughing. She felt the water trying to free itself from her throat. She coughed the water out and her bleary eyes looked around. She was on the boat deck, surrounded by the Host Club. She was lying on the ground, and the Host Club sat around her. She saw Kaoru's eyes lighten up and smile. He was smiling. He was alive.
Yuki wanted to cry. Both she and Kaoru were alive. She sat up quickly, but got a bad head-rush. She didn't care though.
"Yuki!" Everyone cried (Tamaki, Hikaru, Kaoru, and Hunny mostly). Mori messed up Yuki's hair in a big-brother sort of way. Everyone hugged her. Well, Tamaki lifted her up and hugged her while spinning around.
"Yuki! Oh, Yuki! You were so brave! Daddy's here! Daddy will take care of you!" Tamaki cried. Kaoru pulled Yuki away from Tamaki and pulled her into a big hug.
"Thank you so much… You saved my life…" He whispered. But then Hikaru picked up Yuki in his arms and hugged her to death.
"Yuki! You saved my brother! It's like you practically saved me too! I owe you one! I owe you my life!" He swung her towards the railing, where Yuki tried her hardest to prevent a scream from escaping. But she had conquered the sea. She had escaped death once again. And she had been scared for nothing.
All evening she was being passed around between Tamaki, the twins, and Hunny. Haruhi thanked Yuki, but was not as energetic as Tamaki or anyone. Mori hugged her too. But Kyoya was not there. Eventually, Yuki fought her way back to her room to relax and wash away the day's events.
She showered long, her thoughts spinning madly in her head. She doesn't know why she jumped in to save Kaoru immediately without a second thought. It was instinct. Break the rules, stand apart, ignore your head, follow your heart. That was Yuki's motto. She should've thrown a lifepreserver or something instead of risking her life. She doesn't like Kaoru like that. She cares about him a lot, but like like? It didn't even occur to Yuki. She hardly dated. She mostly focused on living life to its fullest. Love just…didn't come to her mind.
Yuki stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her body. She looked around and realized she forgot her pajamas. The door to her room was locked. No one would see her. Ever since Yuki found out that she's been spied on, she has been extra cautious to avoid a second time. She slipped out of the bathroom and walked to the main living area of her bedroom where her bed and television was.
And right there, sitting on her bed, was Kyoya.
Author: You guys prollie don't read these little author's notes, but you should try it. Its kind of fun. Lol. Okay, so I'm a sadist who likes to teeter my characters on the verge of death. That's still pretty bad... *sweat drop* these chapters lately have been really short. I'm having fun with cliffhangers. Now I know why actual authors actually do it. But I also have a problem with writing extremely long chapters. Its either too long or too short...and I'm rambling on to you guys about this...
