A/N: Hello my beauties! Here is another long chapter because I am going camping and will not be able to update until Sunday. Enjoy the fluff!

Do I even have to say it? Me no own.

I woke up the next day completely disoriented. Okay, I'm in a really comfy bed, something's not right. Then I remembered last night. Ugh, how could I have let this happen? This is a nightmare. The door opened and my head whipped to face it. Takashi walked in.

"How did you sleep?"

"Perfectly." I replied grumpily. He smirked and walked over to the dresser. Clothes were handed to me that were so soft, I thought I had died and went to heaven.

"Put those on, I will wait outside the door." Oh Takashi, ever the noble knight. I slipped the clothes on a met up with him.

"My parents would like to have breakfast with you." Hmm, can we say awkward? A person that can only be described as a tiny Takashi ran past us.

"Wait! Mini-Mori, come back!" I like the sound of that, Mini-Mori. He stopped at looked at me.

"Who are you." he said curiously. "Are you Taka's girlfriend?"

"No! I'm just a friend."

"Oh, well, it's nice to meet ya then! I'm Taka's little brother, Satoshi, the more sociable one." I laughed.

"I don't know about that, Takashi has been talking my ear off lately, won't let me get one word in!" Takashi glared at me and Mini-Mori laughed. We walked into the dining room and instantly quieted. Takashi's mother and father were already there. We sat down and I noticed his parents staring at me.

"Thank you so much for letting me send the night, I hope I wasn't a bother to you." I said, breaking the silence.

"Not at all darling, it's our pleasure." his mom responded, "My husband and Takashi have told me so much about you. I cannot believe that Takashi laughed in public, he has always been so serious about everything. And when he carried you in last night, it was so adorable!" By now my cheeks were a bright red and Takashi's were too. I was glad I wasn't the only one being embarrassed.

"I'm not that special Mrs. Morinozuka."

"Oh, just call me Kira dear. And you'd have to be to get Takashi to open up to you! He doesn't usually talk to people."

"Now that I've got him talking he won't shut up." I joke, before freezing and realizing that I probably shouldn't have said that. But Kira just laughed. After she had stifled her giggles she got a down to business face on. I bounced my knee with nervousness.

"So Wren, I heard from Takashi that you do not have a place to stay or relatives willing to take you in, is this true?" Mr. Morinozuka deep bass intoned.

"Y-yes sir." I stuttered. Under the table, Takashi's giant hand engulfed mine and gave it a gentle squeeze. He was about to release when I panicked and gripped him. I didn't mean to do it, but Takashi kept his hand in mine, supplying me with strength.

"What happened to your mother and father, Takashi never told us." Kira spoke softly, as if I was a hurt kitten.

"M-my father left when I was young and my mother tried to make me do something and I fought back. She got mad and left." I responded uncomfortably.

"What did she try and make you do?"

"I-I'd rather n-not talk about i-it." Tears welled up in my eyes and I tried not to cry. Takashi squeezed my hand again, letting me know that it was ok. I gazed up at him and saw a deep concern in his eyes. I gave him a weak smile and looked back at his parents. Kira had tears in her eyes too and looked sad.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you." Kira replied sincerely.

"No, no it's fine. The topic is just a little touchy, but you couldn't have known."

"Your mom shouldn't make you do something you don't want to do." Satoshi piped and I smiled at him.

"That's what I tried to tell her."

The parents began whispering to each other, I wonder what about. All of a sudden they stopped, looking decisive.

"Wren, I would like for you to stay with us." Mr. Morinozuka said, looking pleased with himself.

"Huh?" Not only am I hearing things, but I seemed to have forgotten how to speak!

"We would like you to stay here. We wouldn't be able to sleep right if we knew a sweet young lady that our son has taken a liking to was living on the streets." Kira supplied.

"B-but I couldn't, I wouldn't feel right about it. I don't want to be a bother." I looked at Takashi and he seemed determined. Uh oh, I know where this is going.

"You're not a bother and we want you to stay." I started to refuse but he cut me off, "Just until you have enough to support yourself, okay." he compromised. That boy had too much power over me, I couldn't say no to his pleading eyes.

"Okay, thank you all for your kindness, I will stay until I can support myself." Satoshi cheered and everyone else smiled.

"Why were you cheering? Now I have a chance to annoy you, you little troublemaker." I say as we walk down the hallway down to my room.

"It's okay, at least you'll talk to me." We both look at Takashi and he mumbles something while turning away, causing us to laugh.

Then, of course, my clumsy self fell. I gasped and closed my eyes, waiting for impact, but it never came. I further investigated why (I looked up) and saw Takashi's arm wrapped around my waist. He had a disturbed look on his face, and I thought he was going to say something, but then he glanced at Satoshi, who was staring at us strangely. His stoic-self came back as he put me back on my feet.

"Thanks for that, I really am clumsy aren't I!" I play it off, breaking up the awkwardness.

"Welcome." And we're back to one word responses.

"Well, I'm gonna go to my room. I've got...homework, ya homework. See ya!" Satoshi ran out of there as quick as he could. We continued to my room, Takashi took on his disturbed/serious face again.

"Hey, so, do you like lizards? I think they are really cool." Did I really just say that? I really need to think about what I say before I speak.

"Wren" he said warningly.

"Hey, I didn't do anything wrong, don't you use that tone of voice with me!" I jokingly said, really not knowing what was wrong.

"How much do you weigh?"

"It is considered an insult to ask a woman's weight you know."

"Wren. Why are you so skinny? It's unhealthy." he began, looking so concerned (Again! It shouldn't be possible for anyone to care that much for me) that it melted my heart. It was like chocolate in the sun, but less gross.

"I-I'm not skinny, I am perfectly normal!"I stumbled over my words. Damn, he's not buying it. He came over and lifted my shirt gently, being very careful so I was not uncomfortable. My stomach was exposed, horribly skinny. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back. Then my thoughts assaulted me. 'Ugly, he is going to hate you.' 'Who wants to hang around with a someone who looks like that?' A few tears leaked out of the corner of my eyes. I wiped them away, hoping he wouldn't notice, but of course the ninja doesn't miss anything. Takashi swiftly released my shirt and went to wipe away the tears that stubbornly kept coming.

"Why?" It was a simple question, yet I couldn't bring myself to answer him. I was afraid he would hate me. Irrational, I know, but I'm a bit unstable at the moment. My mouth opened and closed, closely resembling a fish. Takashi carefully, as if I was a porcelain doll, wrapped his arms around me, whispering that it was alright into my hair. I sobbed in his arms, again, for what seemed like forever. I felt weak, pitiful, but I just couldn't stop the tears.

"I'm sorry, I must seem so whiny to you." I tried to laugh out, the tears finally coming to a halt.

"It's okay to cry Wren, you can't stay strong forever." Came the soft reply. I looked at into his eyes and saw gentleness and something I couldn't quite identify in his beautiful onyx orbs.

"Why?" He questioned again, making sure to be as kind as possible. I took a deep breath and began.

"My mother would always use all the money she had for booze, so I had to pick up the slack. I got a part-time job at a local food joint, but only ever earned enough to pay for the rent, and just barely at that. I never had enough for food, I could only buy the cheapest stuff. I lost the job a while ago, so I didn't have enough for food or rent, which is why I got kicked out of the apartment."

"Wren, what about the bruises?" Shit, I was hoping they would have faded away by now.

"I'm just really clumsy, you know that already."

"They were in the shape of a hand."

"My mom abused me okay!" I blurted out. his eyes widened in shock as I hung my head, ashamed of showing my weakness. He seemed very angry, his hands clenched and unclenched, knuckles white.

"Takashi," I said softly, "it's okay, it's in the past, she can't hurt me anymore." His face relaxed and I hugged him, feeling so safe in his embrace.

"Thank you for listening, but please, don't tell anyone else, kay?" I gazed up at him with questioning eyes. Takashi nodded,

"You can always trust me."

"I know." I gave him a real, full blown, genuine smile. He ruffled my hair and chuckled a bit, giving me his sweet smile back.

It was so peaceful that we jumped about ten feet in the air when we heard someone knock. Like seriously, I was a bit worried that Takashi would hit his head on the roof! I opened the door and the whole host club fell forward, knocking me over.

"Wren?! What is my darling daughter doing at the neighbor's house?" Tamaki exclaimed as he crushed me in a backbreaking hug.

"Ya know, I would be happy to tell you if I could, oh I don't know, breathe!"

"Oh, my dear, please forgive your father!" He cried jumping back.

"Whatever."

"So, what are you doing at Mori's house?" The twins said, slinking their arms around me.

"My mom is on a business trip, and Takashi let me stay here until she's back." Everyone seemed to believe me except Spooky and Hunny. Understandable, they are both evil masterminds.

"Yay, that means that I get to spend more time with you!" Hunny beamed, little pink flowers appearing out of nowhere and surrounding his cute, devious face. Everyone may think he is sweeter than candy, but I'm on to him. As if he could hear my thoughts, Hunny smirked at me. I swear, it's like Kyoya and him are related. Hmm...

"But, my flower, what if something happens? I cannot allow you to stay in a house with a young man." Tamaki was really starting to get on my nerves.

"That is none of your concern, seeing as you aren't my father." I said, sickly sweet. And now he's in his corner of woe, growing mushrooms in the closet.

"Tamaki, quit it, this isn't your house." Ah Haruhi, always the voice of reason.

"Tamaki, didn't we come here for a purpose?" Kyoya hinted. Great, now I'm curious.

"That's right, we are all going to Kyoya's family's resort tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? But we have class." Haruhi intoned.

"Wait, you didn't know about it either?" I questioned.

"No, they kidnapped me." she said, defeated. I looked at her a bit more closely and saw she was wearing a cute pink dress. It suits her a lot better, but it kinda creeped me out at how feminine and masculine she can look. Freaky.

"Tama talked to his dad and he said it was okay! It'll be like a field trip!" Hunny called out in his adorable voice. I swear, I will get to the bottom of why he acts like an elementary student all the time.

"Wait, weren't we supposed to go to the resort in like a week?" I said, while realizing all of the things that happened in just a few days. I gained my first friends, my mom skipped out on me, I got a job and I moved into Takashi's house. Wow, and I broke down in front of people like four times. They are changing me, and I'm not sure how it will turn out. All I know for certain is that I love them all dearly and would do anything for them. Of course, I'm not going to tell them that, I mean, think of all the thing the twins would do with that knowledge.

"Yes, it seems Tamaki could not wait any longer." Kyoya said, annoyed. This brings me back to my original problem, bruises. There is no way I can hide them.

"Oh, well I don't have a swimsuit so..." I couldn't even finish as the twins interrupted.

"Don't worry, we will have swimsuits for you and Haruhi from our mother's latest line!" Okay, think Wren think! Yes! Got it! Waterproof concealer, beat that world. I can just say that I'm skinny because of a disease. Yep, that will hold off some questions for now. How do I do it.

"Do I really have a choice?"

"Well of course you do my wonderful daughter, Daddy always listens to what you have to say!" Woah, did he just teleport? First he was in the closet, now he is hugging me...*sweat drop*

"Okay then, no." I deadpanned. Even though I thought of an excuse doesn't mean I wanted to take the risk.

"Wrong answer!" The twins said together, their slightly different pitched voices mingling.

"You can't make me come with you."

"She is right, we have no right to force you to join us, however," The confidence I had building up deflated as I heard that annoying little word, and now I was dreading what Kyoya was going to blackmail me with. "we will cut your debt by 5%" Hmm, a bargain, how generous.

"10%"

"8%"

"Deal" the more rowdy hosts cheered and Tamaki hugged me again.

"Oh, we will simply have a splendid father-daughter bonding time with you and your sister Haruhi." Tamaki cheered.

"Hey, it looks like Haruhi is feeling a bit left out." I say, smirking evilly at said girl. She gives me a slightly annoyed look and I can't help but laugh at her misfortune.

"No! My daughter Haruhi, you mustn't feel jealous, Daddy loves all his children!" Tamaki had glomped her so hard they both fell to the ground, Tamaki on top of Haruhi, his arms the only thing holding him up. They both blushed something fierce (sounds like I should say that in a country accent) and got up quickly. Hey, I wonder what is going on between them, do they like each other? I giggled slightly at the thought, thinking about how cute they would be together.

"We can't wait to see you wearing the swimsuits we picked out for you." the twins said devilishly, huge grins on their evil faces.

"And I can't wait to see the look on your faces when I find something else to wear."

"You wouldn't dare!" Kaoru said. I had them figured out, Hikaru had a slightly deeper voice then Kaoru. Thank god for pitch training.

"Oh, yes I would Kaoru." I left him stunned and walked away to Hunny, who had himself perched on Takashi's shoulders.

"Wren! Usa-chan can't wait to see your swimsuit!" Hunny exclaimed, his face the perfect mask of innocence.

"I'm sure Usa-chan isn't the only one." I say suggestively.

"You're right, Takashi, you wanna see Wren in her swimsuit?" So, he knows how to play the game, this should prove interesting. I decide to play along this time.

"Yeah Takashi, do you think I'll look good in a bikini?" I gaze up at him with huge questioning eyes. Poor boy, he's blushing tremendously, his face somewhat resembling a tomato.

"And Wren, I bet you can't wait to see Takashi in his swimsuit." Okay, I deserved that, didn't I? Hunny, Hunny, this is a dangerous line you're walking on, be careful, I might decide to push you off. I blush and go over to Haruhi, who will hopefully not kill me for sticking Tamaki on her.

"Hey, Haruhi, sorry about earlier." I say sheepishly, my hand rubbing the back of my neck.

"It's okay, I'm used to it by now." Indifferent as always.

"How can anyone get used to that?" I point over to Tamaki who is pleading with 'Mommy' over if they could all dress up as fruits and veggies for a cosplay sometime. I facepalm and silently thank Kyoya for not indulging him.

"You're right, whenever I think I know him, he goes and does something like that. I give up."

"Aww, Haruhi, it's okay!" I rub my cheek against her face, petting her, and officially creeping her out.

"Stop! You're acting like Tamaki!" She swats me away with her hands (not her feet, just to clarify) and I snicker.

"Goodness, I'm horrified that I would resemble him, allow me to make it up to you princess." I flirt, and she finally realizes that I am making fun of Tamaki and joins me in a round of laughter.

"He would do that, oh goodness." Haruhi chokes out.

"Yeah, then he would be like, if you swoon, tell me , I'll catch you." I dramatically pretend to swoon and that sets her off in another round of giggles. I began to feel the start of a beautiful friendship.

Afterwards, when all the hosts had left which took quite a while considering Tamaki, I prepared for dinner. It was weird for me to wrap my head around actually eating with a family every night, but that's how it works in the Morinozuka household. They really are a lovely family. Somebody knocked on the door and I open it to find the one, the only, Mini-Mori! Ha, I bet you thought I was gonna say Takashi, didn't you?

"Ready for dinner?"

"Yes, let's go."

He takes my arm and interlinks it in his like a proper gentleman. I smile and ruffle his hair fondly. I find my seat next to Takashi in the dining room and stare at the large amount of food set out, quite amazed.

"Hello Wren, how was your day? I heard the host club visited and they invited you and Takashi on a trip?" Kira questions politely, her words smooth and graceful.

"Yes, they invited us to Kyoya's father's waterpark." I try to mimic her tone, but it sounded false to me. Being graceful just isn't my thing, is it?

"That's wonderful, it sounds like it will be lots of fun."

"Yes, it will certainly be interesting." The twins and Tamaki at a waterpark, yes, it definitely will be fun to watch. Dinner continued on with small talk and the occasional joke from Satoshi. I wanted to build off his jokes, but it didn't feel right since I had only been there for a day. I devoured as much as I could hold down of the food trying to put some meat on my bones and Takashi looked pleased. After dinner Takashi walked me back to my room. Aren't I lucky, I have two handsome princes to escort me places.

"Did you get enough to eat?" Takashi broke the silence for once, which was surprising.

"Well look at you, you instigated a conversation for once, I'm so proud." I pinched his cheeks and gave him those facial expression you would give a dog when they have been good. You know, like the thing you do when you say 'who's a good boy, you are, yes you are.'

"Anyway," I let go of his cheek, "I feel like I'm about to pop, I ate so much." I poked my stomach curiously, as if testing to see if I really would explode.

"Good." I grinned at him and he gave me his sweet half-smile.

"How are you going to cover up the bruises." Takashi whispers, even though nobody is around.

"Waterproof concealer, I have some that I got as a sample, and I will tell them I have a medical condition for an excuse for the skinniness," I state simply, having already thought the whole day out in my head.

"You could tell them, they would understand."

"I can't, at least not yet, I'm just not ready." I looked away, not wanting to see disappointment in his eyes. I felt calloused fingers moving my chin and turned to see Takashi's eyes. They showed understanding, making my own eyes soften. 'Thank you' I replied with my eyes and he nodded. I suddenly noticed how close our faces were, our lips centimeters apart. I stayed there for a little longer, getting lost in his intense eyes before pulling away.

"Goodnight." I say, slightly breathless.

"Goodnight." I close the door as he walks away and flop on my bed. My heart was still racing from our close proximity. I took deep breaths and got changed into my pjs. I turned off the lights and fell asleep with a frustrating question bouncing in my head, do I like Takashi?

_The Next Day_

After a wonderful breakfast, I decided to take a stroll around the magnificent rose garden that Kira cultivated. I grabbed my purse, already containing the waterproof concealer, so my short attention span wouldn't make me forget it. I'm like Dory in many ways, a bit stupid, but the life of the party. I stepped outside and the breeze carried the fragrance of the roses. The view was absolutely breathtaking, roses of all different colors contrasting with each other to make a stunning mosaic of flowers. I giggled at the beauty, not able to help myself. It made me feel so giddy and light, like I was a dandelion that was blown into the wind, twisting and weaving through the air. I literally frolicked down the path, wanting to explore this peaceful place that I deemed was exactly the same as my safe haven that I had only seen in my imagination. My ears perked up at the sound of running water, and I was about to investigate when I heard another sound. It was almost as if someone was sprinting towards me. Preposterous I know, who else would be in the garden? A feeling of dread settled upon me, little gray lines appearing behind my head. I quickly turned, trying to see where the lines were coming from, but two bodies slamming into me prevented it. My vision grew red, but not because of anger. No, someone's red hair was in my eyes! I swatted to opposing locks, but my arms were rapidly restrained.

"Target,"

"Captured." Hikaru and Kaoru said, like a person would say when they kidna- wait a minute... Dang it.

"Guys," I whined, "let me go. I wasn't gonna ditch you or anything. I already promised to come to the resort!"

"Yes, but we are making sure that you won't bring another swimsuit." Kaoru responds, as if talking to a small child. Hmpf, stupid twin, making me look like I'm an idiot.

"Stop patronizing me!" They only laughed at me and my pathetic attempts to break free. If I wanted to, I could turn them into a twin sized pretzel, but they weren't doing any harm. I pouted the whole way to the limo though, I couldn't have them thinking that this is okay. They carelessly threw me into said limo, and guess who I had the pleasure to land on. I'll give you a hint, he's a ninja. Yep, I landed on Takashi's lap. Our faces seemed to be having a competition, whose could turn the brightest red. I was winning, unfortunately. Again, I was caught into the spell of his eyes, unable to even put two thoughts together and pull away. I could feel his breath, his lips closer than they have ever been before. Why wasn't he pulling away? Why wasn't I pulling away? Then Tamaki hugged me and broke the spell. Well that was anticlimactic. I heard a faint growl and saw Takashi looking displeased. I curse under my breath, surprising myself with how much I wanted him. I couldn't deny it now, I liked Takashi. And it sucked.

"My dear daughter, aren't you so excited to go to the waterpark?" the annoying one shouted in my ear.

"Eh." I respond despondently, probably completely ruining his mood.

"But we will have an amazeriffic time together!"

Hehe, forgot, this is Tamaki we are talking to, he even went as far as to make up a word!

"Okay, whatever floats your boat, but could you get off me so I can sit down." I dryly say, trying to push him away, while studying the twin's steadily growing smirk.

"Oh no! It seems like there isn't enough space for you to sit down," Hikaru starts, and I begin to get sinking feeling.

"And we don't have enough time to call another driver." Kaoru continued. And here it comes, my demise. I will see you all in the afterlife, someday.

"So you're going to have to sit on somebody's lap!" They finish together and I'm dead, for the second time today, because I know exactly who they are going to force me onto.

"You can sit on daddy's lap!" The twins quickly whisper something to Tamaki, and all I catch is 'Haruhi' and 'jealous'. Damn, they really thought this one out, didn't they.

"You can sit on Takashi's lap, he won't mind, right Takashi?" Ah, even Hunny is in on this! Takashi shakes his head no, much to my extreme embarrassment.

Let's just get this over with. And so, I plop myself straight onto his lap, glaring at the twins. Oh, they are sooo gonna get it. My face is so red, I can feel it. I can just imagine some car passing by us and a little girl pointing it out to her mom, 'Hey, look mommy, a tomato!' Takashi and I didn't talk, and as much as I hated to admit it, it was really comfortable in his arms. Gosh darn the gentle giant for being so damn lovable and warm. All of a sudden we went over a bump, and my head would have went through the roof, but Takashi wrapped his arm around my waist and kept me seated.

"Thanks." I whispered, not really embarrassed, since he was just making sure I didn't go flying.

"You're welcome.' Now my cheeks ran redder than a firetruck, because he didn't take his arm off of my waist! I looked at him and he smirked, playfulness in his eyes.

Oh, it's so on. I fake a yawn and lean against his chest, resting my head on his shoulder, slightly nuzzling him. The movement was so small that only he could notice it, but it caused an eruption of red. Kinda like a volcano. I giggled, pleased that I could have this effect on the 'wild' host. He sent me a look saying that this wasn't over. That made me laugh harder, and when my eyes closed, I heard what sounded like a camera. My eyes snapped open and I looked with shock to Kyoya, who was holding the offending object, who took another picture.

"Hey!" I swear, they are trying to make my face permanently red!

"Don't worry, we will make sure he sends you a copy." The twins deviously answer. I hmpf and lean back into Takashi, my lips forming a pout.

CLICK

"One more time and that camera will end up where the sun don't shine." I growl. Takashi chuckles and I nudge him with my elbow.

"Shut up." I whine immaturely, which lead everyone in the ranges of a slight smile (Takashi and Kyoya) to almost dying due to lack of breath (The twins) while the normal people (Haruhi, Hunny, and I) are laughing, but not overly so. And then there was Tamaki, who was ranting about how cute his eldest daughter was. The limo came to a stop and the driver opened the door for us. We piled out, with me thanking the nice man for his service. Hikaru then forced me into a dark room, while Kaoru did the same with Haruhi.

"We have been asked to help you ladies find swimsuits. It is in your best interests to be compliant." Twin maids that looked around 18 said creepily. Suddenly, the lights turned on and hundreds of swimsuits became noticeable.

"They are from our mother's latest design." Hikaru called through the door, "Our maids will help you find a suitable one. "(AN hehe, suit-able)

"How about this one?" the maid held up a really frilly blue one, a two piece that had a skirt as bottoms and a ruffly top to Haruhi, but I intervened.

"Good idea, just a different color." I do have a sense for fashion. The other maid held up a pink one piece with gaudy flowers, and I freaked.

"GET THAT MONSTROSITY OUT OF MY FACE!" I shrieked, hiding in a corner and rocking back and forth, mumbling my horror. Suddenly I heard Haruhi exclaim, "That's just a bunch of strings!" I whip my head around, and laugh when I see a bikini that didn't cover anything in her hands. I hear a thump outside, and wonder what the boys were doing out there. Well, considering what Haruhi just yelled, I probably don't want to know. In my peripheral vision, I see the perfect swimsuit. It was a purple two piece, with a Hawaiian-esque design on it. The top was almost like a tank top, so it would cover my stomach. I dashed over to it, knocking over several mannequins on the way.

"I want this one!" I yelled to the others, running into the changing room without even bothering to listen for their responses. I threw it on, and in my haste, I put the bottoms on backwards. I grumbled to myself and put them on right, then studied myself in the mirror. Frowning, I took out my concealer, hiding the ugly bruises on my arms and legs. They were fading, but it was a constant reminder. Afterwards, I marveled at how different I looked. I could almost pretend that they had never been there in the first place, like it was all just a bad dream. Almost. I came out of the tiny room and struck a pose.

"How do I look?" I asked the maids and Haruhi, who was already outfitted in a pink one-piece and cute swimming cap. She was so adorable!

"Perfect!" the maids exclaimed while Haruhi nodded.

"Why thank you." I reply, bowing. "And good job girls, Tamaki and the twins are gonna be all over you Haruhi, you look so good." Haruhi blushed, before smirking.

"Yes, and Mori is going to be so stunned, there will actually be a reason he won't speak."

"Well played, you are learning quickly young padawan." I nodded sagely, just a faint blush on my cheeks. Surely he won't be too impressed, I mean, it's just me. We both walked out of the room, throwing a thank you over our shoulders. The twins and Tamaki were outside, and they all turned to stare at us at the same time. Freaky. Tamaki's face slowly turned red as he thrusted some clothes at Haruhi.

"A girl shouldn't show that much skin until she is married!" I chuckled at him while the twins wrapped their arms around my shoulders.

"Wow, you look good!" Kaoru said and Hikaru wolf-whistled.

"Oh, shut up." I wrapped my arms around myself, starting to feel self-conscience.

"Nope, none of that!" Hikaru grabbed one of my hands, Kaoru grabbing the other. They began pulling me to the pool as I protested weakly.

"Stop it guys!" I whined, digging back on my heels. I catch sight of Takashi, shirt off, looking smoking in his swim trunks. Daammmnn, he is sexy. I forget to keep fighting against the twins, and they notice. They follow my line of sight and grin. Before I can stop them, they call out to him.

"Hey, Mori, what do you think of Wren's swimsuit?" I see his eyes go wide as they look me over. Hunny come up next to him and pulls at his hand.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't be so rude! Wren, you look really cute!" Takashi mumbled something, obviously embarrassed, and I decided to cut him some slack, partially because i was just as embarrassed, if not more.

"Be nice guys." I chided, walking away, opting to sit next to Kyoya. Hopefully he wouldn't be so annoying.

"Hello Wren, what do you think of the resort?" He questioned, utilizing his host charm. I glanced around for the first time, just now taking in its beauty.

"It's gorgeous, but.." I trailed off, not wanting to offend him. Most people who insult him get an exclusive meeting from his police force.

"But what?"

"It's so.. fake."

"Fake? Everything is authentic and imported from its native country."

"Yes, but I just gives off this vibe, like, it is just screaming, 'I don't belong here!'" I couldn't really describe it, something just felt off.

"That is certainly an interesting notion." Before thing got too awkward, I got up.

"Well, I'm gonna go test out the water."

"I hope it feels real enough to you." I suppose I deserved that. I wandered over to where Takashi and Hunny were, almost subconsciously. That boy had too much hold over me, and it was starting to worry me. I was about to ease into the water, but I got pushed in by a certain pair of red-heads. I swam up and grabbed hold of the edge, sputtering.

"You two are sooo gonna get it." I growled evilly. They smirked.

"Come and get us."

"Nope, Im gonna get you when you least expect it." I cackled, causing the twins to back away nervously.

"Oh, well, we gotta go umm, annoy Tamaki." I watched them attack Tamaki with water guns. I heard someone approach, and I turned around to face them. It was Takashi.

"Hey." I say quietly, not looking him in the eye.

"Hey, are you okay?" Aww, he is so sweet.

"Yeah, it's just a little water." I say flippantly, flicking my hand. You know the way one would make fun of a popular girl. Like when you say 'OMG' and then put your hand at a 90 degree angle. Okay, nevermind, that's way too complicated.

"You look beautiful." I froze, my eyes as big as saucers. Did he seriously say that? He must be talking about somebody else.

"Ha, you're funny, that was a good one," I forced myself to laugh, "you really had me going there." I finish, sadness creeping into my voice. Suddenly, his massive hand rested on my cheek, and he forced me to look at him.

"I mean it." He said, sincerity showing in his beautiful orbs. My breath caught, and I let a smile grace my lips.

"I don't see it, but you on the other hand are quite handsome today." I pointedly look at his bare chest. He blushed and my smile widened.

"Would you like anything to drink?" he asked, always the gentleman.

"Hmm," I twisted my lips to the side as I thought, "A fruit punch sounds good right now, thank you." He nodded and went off to get the beverage. Hunny swam up to me, and asked me to play with him. I said yes and joined him in the middle of the pool. I was having a marvelous time, enjoying the water for the first time in what seemed like forever. I hadn't gone swimming since my dad left all those years ago. A heard what sounded like something banging on wood, and I turned, only to see a huge wave coming at me and Hunny. I grabbed him so we wouldn't get separated, and I just barely heard Takashi exclaim our names before we went under. I struggled to get us to the surface, but the current overtook me. As a last ditch effort, I threw Hunny towards the top, causing me to go farther down. My vision started to blur as I clawed upwards. I was so close, and my fingers felt the cool wind, but I couldn't make it.

After everything, this is where it ends was my last thought, before I succumbed to the darkness.
