Mistressnmoon: I suck guys. I'm so sorry, this was suppose to be out like a month ago. But life just got really busy the last three weeks. And I suck at remember to write. But. On the plus side, since I'm back to the shows plot, I'm not longer having that little bit of writers block. And I apologize for the time jump, but I just didn't want to write a terrible filler chapter. So, there's a time jump. I hope that this chapter isn't too bad. And I'm going to try and have another chapter up in a month or so. Feel free to message me to tell me that it's been longer, because then I'll actually get it out. But again, sorry about the delay, and the short chapter.
bored411: Haha I might have to have a flashback moment later on, because clearly she's not happy about it.
2many-bunnies: Aw, thank you! I'm so glad you like the story!
Ciel Blanche: I seem to be lacking on the writing and updating lately, don't I? :\ I'm quite excited to get to the piano lessons, they'll certainly be interesting!
Synk: I have big, fun, plans for Tamaki finding out. Plans that I'm really excited to get to.
sunfeil: Thank you!
Chapter Twenty-Five
I scowled at the scene in front of me, irritated as Kaoru and Hikaru poked my cheeks. My extremely red cheeks. My extremely red cheeks, which were only red because the two were still teasing me about falling asleep on them. I mean seriously, it had been two weeks, couldn't they leave it alone; it's not like it meant anything. With my scowl still resting on my face, I swatted their hands away, and crawled out of the limo. Reminding me of the other thing that was irritating me: the beach. Okinawa to be specific. I trailed after the rest of the Host club, the twins still pestering me, until they finally got bored, and asked the group,
"So, why Okinawa?" I stared at them, briefly wondering if they practiced speaking in sync when they were only, before remembering that I was suppose to annoyed with them. So instead I turned my attention to Tamaki as he spoke,
"Because Kyouya's family has a private beach here." Tamaki's answer made me narrow my eyes, and glance at Kyouya. Like we didn't already owe him? And why did I have an odd feeling that this was some type of trick?
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I gave Honey a soft smile, glad that someone was happy to be here, because I certainly wasn't. Though I have to agree with Honey, it is quite pretty here… Now only if I could properly enjoy it.
"Yeah."
"But as long as we're going somewhere, why not… the Caribbean… or Fiji?" I gave the two an eye roll, muttering to myself about how they should be happy that we took a beach trip at all. Clearly I wasn't very happy about being at the beach, and most of the hosts knew why.
"Do you think a commoner like Haruhi has a passport?" I gave Kyouya a strange look, wondering if he knew just how crazy that sounded. It's not like passports are expensive, and although Haruhi had probably never left the country before, that didn't mean she didn't have a passport. While I gave him a funny look, the rest of the hosts made a noise of understanding, as if that explained everything.
"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness." It really didn't come as a surprise to me that Haruhi was upset, if I were in her spot I would be upset too. So now the hosts had to deal with an upset Haruhi, and an irritated me. They really are striking out here, aren't they?
Nearly an hour later we were finally on the beach; with the entire female population of Ouran there as well. Which is why I was all smiles at the moment, but as soon as they were gone I would go back to my grumpy self. I wasn't pleased with the fact the girls were there, but at least I'm use to being a guy all the time, unlike Haruhi. And to avoid the water, I decided to watch Hikaru and Kaoru play volleyball, along with a few girls.
"Hey Nori…" I glanced towards Sora-chan, the blue eyed girl that I had met on my frist day at Ouran, and gave her a small smile. "Aren't you hot in that shirt?" Without thinking I glanced down at my pale blue, Hawaiian patterned, short sleeved shirt.
"A little bit, but due to my family traditions I'm not allowed to remove my shirt for anyone, other then my future wife." I gave Sora-chan a smile, hoping that my answer would be enough for her to not question why I was wearing a shirt again. Or rather why Haruhi and myself were the only two hosts that were wearing shirts. It seemed to work as a flush rushed her, and the other three girls, cheeks.
"You're so honorable Nori!" Suddenly the volleyball headed our way, and I barely had any time to catch it before it hit the girls.
"Yo, Hikaru, Kaoru, be more careful! I wouldn't want to mess up those pretty faces of yours because you injured one of these lovely girls!" So what if I was a little snarky, it's not like the girls would notice it. Only the host would, so I wasn't going to hold back on it. So I stood up, still smiling albeit a bit evilly, and threw the ball back to Hikaru. I chuckled a bit when he flinch, maybe I shouldn't have thrown the ball quite so hard. The game quickly started back up, until Hikaru hit the ball too hard and it rolled away. I watched, blankly, as Kaoru ran after the ball while shouting at Hikaru to be more gentle, or something along those line. It took moments before Hikaru was chasing after Kaoru, the two of them putting on their act for the girls. Well, I assume it's an act, since they're a little more dramatic about it then they are when they aren't being hosts. Speaking of hosts, the two were now talking with Tamaki and Kyouya. I rolled my eyes at them, before I dismissed myself to join Haruhi; who was starting to walk down the beach.
"Hey, Haruhi, do you mind if I join you?"
"Not at all." I gave the girl a small smile, walking next to her in a nice silence. That is until Honey saw us, and shouted out,
"Haru-chan! No-chan! Let's go hellfish shunting!" My eyebrows furrow, as I stared at Honey in confusion. What the hell was the boy talking about?
"I think you mean 'shellfish hunting'." I made a soft noise of understanding, Honey's statement now making sense, other then the fact shellfish aren't normally in this area. "I've never heard of anyone going shellfish hunting… anywhere like this…" I blinked in shock at the amount of shellfish that were suddenly surrounding Haruhi and myself. Seriously, where did they come from? "What the hell is this!?" I glanced at the girl, before sarcastically opening my mouth,
"I think they're crab, Haruhi. But what I want to know is where the hell they're coming from." I gave Haruhi a small shrug when she gave me a dry look, before noticing Mori making his way up the rock wall next to us. I glanced over to Haruhi so that I could tell her where the crabs were coming from, only so see her chatting excitedly with Honey and completely ignoring me. With a small sigh I joined Mori, and peered over the side of the cliff to see Kyouya, and a bunch of his workers from the pool. The workers were the reason behind the crabs, they were letting them all out so that Honey would be able to shellfish hunt. Not moments later, Kyouya saw Mori and myself peering over the wall in confusion. And decided to answer our unasked question.
"Mori-senpai, Nori. My family's private police force wanted to make up for their offense towards Honey-senpai earlier, so I'm letting them do this." I nodded my head, along with Mori, while resisting the urge to roll my eyes at Kyouya. What he really meant was that he wants Honey to be happy, and made his workers so this to do so. But it sounds like both Haruhi and Honey were happy, so I wasn't going to call him out on this. For a few minutes I sat there, giving Kyouya a funny look, before I finally decided that this wasn't any fun and I should go find Koaru and Hikaru. They might annoy me, but at least they were more entertaining then Kyouys. So with a small sigh I climbed back down the wall, just in time to hear Tamaki ask Haruhi,
"What do you think Haruhi? Do you find this large crab to be…crab-tivating?" I turned to give Tamaki a blank look, secretly hoping that the large crab in his hands would pinch him for telling such a terrible joke.
"Yes." I broke the blank look I was giving Tamaki, to toss Haruhi a confused look. She almost never agreed with Tamaki, she must be more excited about the seafood then I originally thought.
"How cute!" So the crab hadn't pinched Tamaki for his bad joke, but there was a centipede crawling over the crab, one that made all the girls freak out. I let out a soft snort as Tamaki freaked out a little. Seriously, why freak out over a silly little bug? Haruhi seemed to share my thoughts, because she walked over to Tamaki, grabbed the centipede, and threw it away.
"Hey Haruhi…" I glanced over at Kaoru and Hikaru, who had been speaking together, silently wondering when they got here. And better yet, with us over here, who was entertaining the girls? I mentally shrugged to myself, before listening to Hikaru talk,
"As much as it would pain me to think you're a bug-loving, kindhearted, girl…"
"Couldn't you have at least set that thing free more gently?" I rolled my eyes at the two, muttering to myself about how that wouldn't have kill the bug, nor would it matter if one died. There were already many more out there.
"It's okay. It will take more then that to kill it." I nodded my head in agreement, while stating,
"Haruhi's right guys." I flinched a little when one of the girls let out a squeal. They were all quick to surround Haruhi and myself, gushing about how 'manly' we were.
