Yuki woke up bright an early on her own time for once. It was a few days later. The costumes had arrived yesterday, but there was yet another shipping error so there were no wigs. Kyoya deepened her debt for that, but she didn't care. She still really liked him.

Yuki ate a hearty breakfast and showered despite showering the night before. She wanted to make sure she was nice and clean. Last night her and Kyoya slept in their separate beds, so she was very eager to see him again.

Hazuki left her hairdryer here and Yuki decided to use it. It was honestly the first time Yuki has ever used one before. Yuki thought she never needed a hairdryer and would usually air dry, but she wanted to look nice today. She brushed and fixed her hair constantly, trying to make it look as best as it could.

She had sown the tear in her sleeve that she had never got to. But she did it this morning so it wouldn't look so bad anymore. Yuki brushed the dog hair off her school uniform. She constantly checked to make sure she looked at least decent today. Yuki never thought of herself as pretty or beautiful or attractive her whole life. But now, she was making her best attempt to.

Yuki spotted a beautiful gold locket on her kitchen counter. It was in the shape of a heart, and she knew it was from Kyoya. She grinned and put it on, but kept it shape under her shirt.

After feeding Reika, she was off to school with her costumes and freshly baked pasta-shaped cakes. Before school started, she dropped them off in the club room and made it to class on time, shocking the twins and prompting them to tease her a little. But Yuki didn't care. Today was a beautiful day even though it was supposed to be fall.

At the host club, it wasn't open yet because everyone was changing into their costumes. Yuki checked them all. They seemed to fit everyone perfectly. Yuki loved how Kyoya looked in his Germany costume. Yuki gave Haruhi a stuffed panda for more effect. She allowed Hunny to have Usa-chan.

There were several flashes. Yuki turned around and Hikaru and Kaoru were taking many pictures.

"Smile everyone!" They commanded. Yuki giggled. Everyone seemed to ignore them. Yuki snuck up behind Kyoya while he was writing in his black notebook. She wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"Thank you for the locket. I love it. I'll never take it off." She whispered.

"It was my pleasure." He smiled.

"Kyoya, what do you write in that notebook? I've always wanted to know." She asked. He closed it.

"That's classified information." He replied, pushing his glasses up and turning to face her.

"Even to me?" Yuki batted her eyelashes.

"Yes. Don't be so nosy." Before Yuki could retort, he bent down and kissed her passionately, wrapping his arms protectively around Yuki. Yuki returned the kiss with the same passion, butterflies fluttering inside her stomach.

"Mommy! You have to be appropriate and be a good role model to our daughter!" Tamaki whined. The pair did not listen. No one else was around. It was just the two of them. The rest of the world has evaporated.

They broke apart breathless when they were blinded by a flash. Kyoya and Yuki looked at the twins, who grinned innocently. The picture immediately came out of the camera and they added it to the pile. Kyoya gave his death glare.

"Aw, c'mon! We don't have any pictures of you two together! Just one more?" The twins asked as they cowardly hid behind the couch.

"Only if I get to keep it." Yuki replied. The twins grinned. "And you have to smile too, Kyoya." Yuki said teasingly. She hugged Kyoya tightly with one arm and made a peace sign with her other hand. She grinned. Kyoya couldn't help but smile as he wrapped his arms around her. The twins took a picture.

The doors flung open.

"We aren't open yet!" Yuki called, but them realized it was all four of her siblings. "Guys!" Yuki rushed over to them.

"We're leaving tonight." Hazuki announced sadly. Yuki's heart sank.

"Oh, really?" Yuki asked.

"Dad's in a meeting until seven. Afterwards we are going to America." Daichi explained.

"You should come. We're your family." Michio urged.

"You haven't acted like it sometimes. You've lied to me." Yuki pointed out, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I'm really sorry, Yuki. We thought it was best..." Daichi trailed off.

"But its in the past and we can't change it. Don't hold grudges over things." Michio spoke.

"You can't stay here alone. You have to come with us." Daichi insisted.

"No. I'm staying with Kyoya. I'm happy here. They're my family. They never lied to me." Yuki retorted.

"Dad would call you a traitor. Choosing his nemesis over him." Daichi whispered.

"He betrayed me too, abandoning me. And I'm choosing his nemesis's son. I'm forced to stay anyway because of my debt." Yuki snapped.

"Just let daddy pay it off for you." Hazuki urged.

"No! Then I'll neve have truly paid it off!" Yuki cried.

"I tried to make this easy. If you don't come with us, I'll drag you there kicking and screaming." Daichi threatened.

"Are you threatening me!? Your own sister!?" Yuki demanded.

"No. You have to come. You can't stay here." Michio said calmly. Daichi took a step towards Yuki. Yuki stepped back.

"If you touch me, I will scream for Mori-senpai and Hunny-senpai and they will take you out." Yuki growled.

"I don't want to fight with you, Yuki. I'm sorry I lied. I truly mean it. We can't just abandon you like this. We love you. We care about you. You're our sister, a part of this family. We won't lie to you ever again. Please, just come with us. We just want to protect you and keep you safe." Daichi begged.

"Please, onee-chan! Come to America with us!" She pleaded loudly. Akina was crying and hugged Yuki tightly.

"You're going to America!?" Tamaki and the twins demanded. Yuki scowled. Great.

"No." Yuki replied.

"Please come, Yuki."

"No, you can't go!"

"You're in debt, remember?"

"But we're family!"

"You have to come!"

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" Yuki yelled, her accent coming through again. Silence. "I'm not going to America. Okay? That's final! I will not go! I am staying here! You guys," Yuki looked at the host club, particularly, her boyfriend. "Stop being so nosy. And you guys," Yuki looked at her family. "Leave me alone. You have my final answer. I'm staying here whether you like it or not." Yuki sighed.

She could feel her heart breaking. She had so many fond memories with them, even with Hazuki. But with her brothers and Akina...her brothers took care of her when she was little. They pulled pranks on each other. Her brothers stopped her from being bullied. Her brothers were her inspiration when she was little. And Yuki did the same for Akina. She stopped people from bullying Akina. Yuki took care of Akina. She protected Akina. Akina's her baby...

Her brothers went to every one of Yuki's dance competition and supported her all the way to nationals. They argued all of the time and there was a lot of sibling rivalry. But at the end of every day, they were a family. They sat down and had dinner together and got along and loved each other. Could this be the last time she sees them ever again?

"I think you guys should go." Yuki whispered. Her siblings looked defeated and sad, but they left quietly. Except for Akina. She cried. A lot. The sound made Yuki's heart break. But Yuki refused to cry. The host club is going to be open soon.

Yuki spun around to face the host club. "Sorry about that everyone! Lets get ready! The customers will be arriving any second!"

"But Yuki-"

"Nope! We are not going to talk about it! Nothing happened! Cheer up everyone! We have to be happy for the ladies!" Yuki barked, smiling.

Business as usual. The girls seemed to enjoy the hosts in the military uniforms of Hetalia. It sparked their interest in Hetalia, which Yuki fully informed them about the anime. It was one of Yuki's favorites that she watched often along with Pokemon and Precure.

And all of the hosts performed their characters very well. Tamaki and France weren't so different, so it was very easy. Yuki got jealous when Kyoya attracted many girls this afternoon. It was one of those rare occasions when he's entertaining the ladies and yuki did not like. She did not like that the girls were all over him.

And he knew about it too! He often winked and waved to Yuki. When he knew Yuki was watching, he'd kiss a girl's hand or even cheek. He'd put his arm around one or flirt a little or even stroke her. Yuki wanted to rip her hair out. What a cruel bastard.

But the afternoon was overall great. It was fun. It was a nice day. Everyone was happy, smiling, laughing, and just basically enjoying themselves. The twins once tried to trick her off by tripping her so she can yell in her British accent.

But when the host club was closed for the evening, storm clouds rolled in.

"What'd I tell you? The weatherman can be very unreliable." Yuki grumbled as everyone changed back into their school uniform. She felt Kyoya's arm slink around her, but before he could pull her close, she slipped away.

"So you are the jealous type." Kyoya mused.

"I'm mad at you." Yuki said simply, pouting. Kyoya suddenly grabbed her wrists and then laced his fingers with his. He planted a kiss on her, and Yuki just melted into it. She couldn't resist this man. They were perfect for each other.

The twins took more pictures of them, so Yuki attacked. Kyoya simply sat down and typed on his laptop. When Yuki was finished, she leaned over and wrapped her arms around Kyoya as if nothing happened. She rested her chin on his shoulder.

"Whatcha doing?" Yuki asked.

"Looking at our profits for today. They are much better than last week's." Kyoya replied. Yuki playfully nipped his ear. This caused Kyoya to stop for a moment, for it surprised him. Yuki giggled and lifted her chin. He turned his head and kissed her once more. Yuki returned the kiss, but then he stopped. "I have to work on this. Then we can go home. It won't take long."

"Okay. Sounds good."

"Okay, here you go Yuki! You get all of the pictures of today!" The twins handed Yuki a stack of photographs.

"Really?"

"Of course! You picked out the theme so you get to keep the pictures! A lot of them are you and Kyoya anyway." Yuki blushed.

"She seems to like staring at pictures of me." Kyoya remarked.

"And you like to watch my dance videos!" Yuki snapped.

"Yuki did dance!?" The twins, Tamaki, and Hunny cried. Yuki groaned.

"And you got yourself into that all by yourself." Kyoya teased. Yuki hit him playfully.

"Yes...I did."

"Did you wear pretty and cute costumes?" Hunny asked.

"Yes..."

"Let us see! Let us see!" The twins and Tamaki demanded.

"No way!"

"Show us some cool tricks!"

"No!"

"Pleaseeee?"

"If I pirouette a few times will you shut up?" Yuki snapped.

"Yes!" Yuki sighed.

"I'm not dressed properly and I haven't done it in a while so it might suck. But don't be complaining." Yuki grumbled. She moved into an open space of the club room. The host club watched intently.

Yuki took a deep breath, and then began her turn combo. Just as she was taught, she automatically pointed her feet and kept her shoulders down. But when she got to her twentieth pirouette, the twins took a flash picture. The flash distracted her and she stumbled and fell back.

"Sorry!" The twins called.

"Whatever. There's you're trick." Yuki groaned as she stood up. Everyone clapped. The twins added it to her stack. Yuki slipped the photos in her bag and slung her bag over her shoulder.

"Bravo! Bravo!" Tamaki cheered. Yuki rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to run to the bathroom before we go. I'll be right back!" Yuki got on her tip toes and kissed Kyoya's cheek before exiting Music Room Three.

"So how are things going with you and Yuki?" Haruhi asked.

"That's really none of your business..but very well. She wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of you, so thank you." Kyoya replied.

"It was your idea!" Kaoru reminded.

"Probably your best idea ever to trick her into joining!" Hikaru added.

"Of course, though, you couldn't have done it without moi! I was the one who found the vase and set it up! And I bribed her with the puppy!" Tamaki protested.

"Yeah, but we were the ones who made Yuki knock it over." The twins pointed out bluntly.

"What about me? I was the one who dropped the banana peel!" Hunny chimed in.

"And the puppy only kept her happy for working. Even if you didn't, she'd still have to be working for us. Your puppy was basically useless." Kyoya added, pushing his glasses up his nose.

"Don't you guys feel at all guilty for lying to her like that and forcing her to work?" Haruhi asked.

"No. We're all having too much fun together with her." Everyone answered. Haruhi sweat dropped.

"I think we should tell her soon. You should hear what she says about you guys. You're her family. She cares about you guys and doesn't want anything to happen to her family. That's why she's so protective and emotional. He first family already lied to her. She's living with Kyoya-senpai. You just saw her expressing her anger towards her siblings before we openedM How do you think she'd react if we told her it was all a big lie?" Haruhi explained.

"I love Aki-chan! She and I eat cake together! And Takashi and I stopped some mean bullies from bullying her! And Mokona-chan is best friends with Usa-chan!" Hunny announced.

"We won't tell her." The twins answered.

"And what are you going to do when she gives you her money?" Haruhi asked Kyoya.

"Probably put it towards college, a house or something useful. But in the meantime, put it in a savings bond." He responded, pushing his glasses up.

"Even if it's from your own girlfriend?"

"I take every opportunity I can get, Haruhi. I use whatever I can, be it friend or foe. I'm okay with anything as long as it doesn't harm me, but I prefer benefits." Kyoya said. Haruhi was defeated.

"Was my debt a set up too?" She asked.

"Nope. You did that all on your own."

"Well gentlemen and my daughter dearest, we best be off!" Tamaki announced.

"What about Yuki-chan?" Hunny asked.

"She should be back soon. I'm sure we'll run into her on the way out." Haruhi responded quietly and irritated. Tamaki flung opened the doors to the hallway, but then everything went still and silent.

Standing outside was Yuki, who was utterly shell-shocked and had tears brimming her eyes.
