A/N: Hello~ my lovely readers! Sorry for the late update! School has started up again, and so I'm having a bit of difficulty keeping track of schoolwork and stories. So my chapters (sadly TT_TT) won't come very quickly. I'm terribly sorry!

On to a brighter note! Thank you to all my reviewers, alerters, and favoriters! ^_^ Seeing all the alerts and favorites, and reviews made me so happy! And xx3OHxx reminded me, hugs from the twins for all the reviewers~! * Twins give hugs to every reviewer* And to answer ShadowFAIT's question, I don't mind if you bold the print when the twins talk as well. :) A new character is introduced in this chapter, so I hope you like her. She will appear more later on too, which will cause all sorts of chaos! X) So, without further adieu, Hiding my Feelings In Music Ch. 4!

Oops, forgot the disclaimer...-_-' : I do not, in any way, own Ouran High School Host Club. However, I do own Miyuki, Daisuke, the rest of her family, Asuka, and any other OC that is mentioned.

Threats, Lunch, Shopping, And Performing, Oh my!

I tossed and turned as I tried to sleep. But I had no luck in getting to sleep; because I was trying really hard to remember the name of the song I wanted to play for the Host club. It was so frustrating! Why couldn't I remember? Eventually, I fell into a dreamless asleep.

"Whoa, what happened to you?"

I groaned at the noise of the twins's rather loud voices, and looked up at them. They seemed surprised to see me the way I was, and also a bit concerned. Haruhi was standing beside them looking concerned too.

"I couldn't sleep because I was trying to remember the name of a song. Now I have a massive headache, and to top it all off, my sister is coming to eat with me at lunch!"

"I hope you feel better, but why is it so bad to have your sister over for lunch?"

I sighed and thought of the chaos my sister would bring if she met the Host Club. Sure, she was twenty-three years old, but she still acted like a boy crazy teenager. She would be flirting (until she found out she was too old for them) and teasing (me) all day! I was not looking forward to that, and I'm not sure if I can handle it today.

"Lets just say she would cause more chaos than you would prefer, Haruhi."

Class seemed to drag on forever, slowly torturing me to the brink of insanity. Okay, maybe not insanity, but at least until I had an even bigger headache then before. It felt like someone had used my head to play tennis, and had used dictionaries for rackets. I was about ready to ask to go to the nurse when the lunch bell finally rung and I was given the chance to lay my head down. I'll just rest for a few minutes, then go to lunch…

Poke

Ow.

Poke

Ow!

Poke, poke, poke!

OW!!!

"OW!!! What the heck was that for?!"

I glared at the people who had been poking me, to find none other than the Hitachin Twins, who were now grinning broadly. Apparently, it had been their goal to annoy me. Boy, did they succeed!

"We just wanted," "To let you know," "There's a lady with dark red hair and blue eyes waiting in the cafeteria who might be your sister."

"What was she wearing?"

"Skinny jeans and an orange shirt that says, 'Too cute for you!'."

"Yep, that's her. I remember that shirt because she wanted to buy me the same shirt, but in light blue."

I sighed, stood up, grabbed my lunch, and began to walk to the cafeteria. The devil duo followed me and hooked their arms around my shoulders. I didn't bother to push them off, because I was much too tired and didn't really mind. I was starting to get used to their constant hugs and cuddling. My mind wondered back to the song that kept evading me. What was the name? 'Sakura'…'Sakura' something. I just can't seem to remember!

"Miyuki-chan, we're here."

"Thanks for walking me here, I really appreciate it."

"We're going to meet your sister too!"

I froze mid step and turned my head back towards them. I had broken away from them to go to my sister. I gave them a look that said 'Are you serious? You want to meet my crazy sister?' And they just simply grinned at me. I sighed and ran a hand through my mid back red hair. Should I let them meet her? Will this turn out okay? Oh, why not? I got nothing to lose.

"Fine, you can meet her. Just try not to be so flirtatious while around her, okay? I swear, that woman's like the Queen flirt, not to mention she teases me more than my cousin Tsubasa does about boys, and that's a lot."

"We'll be the perfect angels!"

Somehow, I knew they had to have crossed their fingers.

~?'s POV~

I sat at a lunch table and twisted a piece of my short hair while waiting for a certain redhead. Gosh, how long does it take to grab your lunch and get to the cafeteria? Not this long, I'm sure! I was just about to get up and go looking for her when I spotted her walking over with two boys (who were twins). They had spiky red hair and amber eyes, and in my opinion, were rather cute. Ooh, I hope one of them like Miyuki! That would be perfect for her, because she really needs a boyfriend! I mean, the girl hasn't ever had a boyfriend to cuddle with, to complain to, to joke around with. I think having a boyfriend will do her some good.

I grinned, suddenly getting an idea, and zoomed to Miyuki. I hugged her tightly and swung her around a bit.

"Miyuki! Oh, it's so good to see you again! After school I'm going to take you shopping and we're gonna shop till we drop! Man, I missed you so much!"

I continued to hug (Miyuki: More like squeeze to death!) her and when I heard "Can't breathe…Need air…" I released her and looked at my cute sister. She was now gasping dramatically, as she always did after one of my hugs. It was kind of our traditional joke.

"It's nice to see you too, Onee-chan! But do we have to go shopping? I still have clothes left over from last time that I haven't worn!"

"Yes, we have to go shopping because shopping is the best way to relieve stress! Besides, we haven't had proper quality time in a while."

Miyuki sighed before finally giving in to my demands.

"And maybe your friends here would like to come?"

"Huh?"

"The two boys with you."

"Oh, um…No offense, Onee-chan, but I don't think any boy would want to go shopping."

"We don't mind. Our mom is a fashion designer, so we could help you both pick out nice outfits."

Miyuki and I looked at the twins, surprised, and then realized they did look familiar.

"What were your names again?"

"I'm Hikaru," "And I'm Kaoru," "Hitachin!"

My eyes widened when they announced that to me. I loved their mom's clothes! Their mom designed Three fourths of my wardrobe!

"Omigosh! I love your mom's clothes! Especially that one dress with-"

The rest of my words were muffled thanks to Miyuki who had covered my mouth with her hand to keep me from talking about clothes. Gosh, what's so wrong with that?

"Anyways, her name is Ayaka, but you can just call her Aya. Now lets go eat."

And with that, we all went to a table and sat down to eat. I talked with the twins, subtly hinting them to think about Miyuki as a girlfriend. Miyuki didn't seem to notice my actions as she continued to talk with to the twins as well. If things go according to plan, Miyuki will have a boyfriend before next school year!

~Miyuki's POV~

I sighed as my sister dragged Hikaru, Kaoru, and me to go shopping. Kyouya allowed me another day to choose a song and right after the club was over, my sister busted in and kidnapped the twins and me to go shopping. She didn't even give the rest of the Host Club an explanation! I guess I'll have to explain to them later what was going on…

"Ooh! This will look great on you, Miyuki! Go try it on, please?"

"Okay, okay. I'll try it on."

I took the article of clothing from my sister and went to the dressing rooms. The Twins were almost as bad as my sister when it came to picking out clothes for me! They all picked out great things, but they seemed to find an incredible amount of clothes for me to try on. I sighed and put on the clothing my sister had picked out, realizing it to be a dress. It was a deep, ocean blue that hugged my figure until my hips, where it was a lot roomier, and just kind of flowed down to the floor. The sleeves were nothing more than straps (like on a tank top), which didn't bother me too much. It gave me more room to move my arms, and I needed plenty of room while playing my violin. Maybe I'll wear this dress to the next performance I have…

"You done changing yet? Come on out! We wanna see what you look like, Miyuki-chan!"

I blushed crimson when I realized I had to walk out there in front of the twins. I was nervous about their reactions. I took a deep breath and walked out of the dressing room. I looked at my sister and the devilish duo. My sister was clapping, saying "Nice~!", Kaoru was grinning and giving me a thumbs up, and Hikaru was doing the same, but blushing. And he seemed stunned when I first walked out of the dressing room too. I wonder why he reacted like that?

"Didn't I tell you you'd look great? And the blue of the dress really brings out your eyes!"

"T-thanks, Onee-chan! I think I'll buy this one for my next performance…"

"Eh? Next performance?"

The twins looked a bit confused at what I was talking about. I thought I told them and the Host Club that I was a semi-famous musician? Oh, well, I'll just tell them now.

"Yeah. My family and I are all semi-famous or famous musicians. I perform for many different audiences. Next week I get to perform for the public in the park."

"Oh! That's pretty cool!"

"Yeah, it is, but the critics are killer! If I miss one note, they'll eat me alive about how I 'Obviously don't take music seriously,' or 'am an abomination to the music world' or something really stupid like that."

"Wow, harsh. I think you play wonderfully, don't you Kaoru?"

"I agree, Hikaru,"

"Miyuki-chan plays wonderfully!"

"Aw, thanks guys!"

The two red heads were hugging me and I hugged them back, completely use to their hugs now. I still got a bit embarrassed, so I blushed. You know, I discovered something today. The two devilish boys could be really sweet when they wanted to.

After a few hours of shopping, my sister was merciful and allowed us to have a break. It was about dinnertime, so we stopped by the food court and got something to eat. I had some onigiri, some peaches (gotta love peaches!), and some raspberry lemonade. Hikaru and Kaoru had some pizza and coke, and Aya had a chicken salad and apple juice. As we all ate, I couldn't help but notice Aya kept asking the twins about me. She asked them stuff like, "What do you think of Miyuki?" or "Don't you just think Miyuki looked absolutely cute in some of those clothes?" Which I noticed Hikaru (I think. I still have trouble with telling them apart, though it's not as hard now.) blushed at some of her questions, and my sister would grin at this reaction. What is she up to?

Soon after we ate, my sister decided it was time to go home, since it was a school night. It was around nine o'clock when I got home with my sister. We had dropped the twins off at their house and as soon as we had, Aya had bombarded me with questions about them. How much I liked them, how they acted around me, etc. It confused me to no end on why she was asking me all these questions. I didn't feel like thinking about it too much, so I went straight to my room, took a shower, brushed my hair and teeth, and plopped down on my bed. I was exhausted after today, and I was ready to go to sleep. So I snuggled underneath the covers, and fell asleep almost immediately.

"KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE! MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE!"

"Kidzukeba itsudemo soba ni iru keredo, HONTO wa KIRAI? SUKI? Mousou na no?"

"Jibun no kimochi ga KURIA ni mietara, REDII demo Hosuto demo Kamawanai yo"

"SUKI ni natteku riyuu wa minna, Chigau yo ne KEDO MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE!"

"Aitai ima yasashii kimi ni sakura KISSU TOKIMEITARA ranman koi shiyo…"

Whack! That should take care of that annoying alarm clock… Wait a second! What was that that was just playing?!

I quickly turned the radio alarm clock back on and listened to the lyrics some more. That was the song! It's called…I thought really hard while listening to the lyrics. Sakura Kiss! That was the name! Now I remember! I quickly glanced at the clock and saw I had only twenty minutes left to get ready for school, so I rushed through my daily routine. I jumped out the door, before running back in and grabbing the sheet music for the string version of Sakura Kiss. I then ran to school, coming to the conclusion I'd get there faster than going by car.

I plopped down in my seat, breathing heavily. I had five minutes to spare, and I was very tired now, thanks to my morning run. On the bright side, I finally remembered the name of the song! Man, that little bugger caused me a load of stress…I sighed in content, happy to be able to relax.

"Oi, just who do you think you are, Koizumi?"

Looks like I spoke too soon… I looked up at Asuka as she spat my name as if it were the most revolting thing in the world. I blankly stared at her as she glared at me. What did she want?

"I saw you go on a date with Hikaru and Kaoru! How dare you! They're way out of your league, and are completely off limits because-"

"Because you like them? You misunderstood what I was doing with them. My sister dragged us on a shopping spree, that's all. And first off, we're just friends. Second, whatever I do with them is none of your business. And third, just because you like them, doesn't mean no one else can. So stop acting all high and mighty, okay?"

Asuka was definitely shocked; she simply gaped at me as I took out the books I needed for my first class. I smirked at her reaction. I had finally told her off for something she had done! Yay! I wasn't able to celebrate long, because she soon recovered from her shock and glared icily at me with her hate-filled eyes. I stared back, not about to back down and submit.

"You are so going to get it later, Koizumi."

She didn't raise her voice, but those words stroke fear into me. A cold, icy feeling crawled up my back to my neck and back down again, giving me goose bumps. Her words were so hateful; it scared me to think about what she might do. She wouldn't do anything drastic, would she?

I stayed there, frozen in my seat as Asuka walked back to her seat with a scary aura around her. Dread filled the pit of my stomach.

What would she do to me?

Mabushi-sensei soon walked in and began class. Haruhi, Hikaru, and Kaoru all cast worried glances my way, as I was unusually silent. I was usually very enthusiastic in history because I enjoyed it so much, but I didn't raise my hand once. I couldn't help but to think about Asuka's words. They kept repeating in my head. I was worried about what she would do. I heard from a classmate, that she scared a kid so bad, that the kid became paranoid, and the kid had to go to a therapist for three years before getting over it. So, I was pretty scared myself. I didn't even notice that the bell had rung for lunch until Haruhi walked over to me.

"Are you alright, Miyuki? You were really quiet today."

"Y-yeah, I'm okay."

Haruhi seemed pretty worried about my behavior. She sighed and pulled a chair up to my desk and sat down. She took out her bento and looked back up at me, smiling gently.

"How about we just eat in here today? Just the two of us?"

I smiled weakly and agreed. I took out my bento too, and began to eat its contents. I had tempura, apples, carrots, and some bottled green tea. I was just about to eat one of the carrot slices when Haruhi spoke.

"So, what's wrong? You're not this quiet, even when you feel shy."

"It's nothing, really! I'm just a bit spooked, is all."

"Spooked? Why?"

"Well…"

I sighed and I looked up at her. I really did need someone to confide to, and Haruhi was probably the best person for that. Maybe she would even know what to do about this.

"Well, I finally told Asuka off after she came spouting some crap at me, and she threatened me, I guess. She said, 'You are so going to get it Koizumi.' And even though she didn't yell at me or anything, the way she said it, scared me."

Haruhi seemed to let this soak in for a bit. Finally, after staring off into space for a while, she sighed and looked back at me. She smiled and took my hand and squeezed it reassuringly.

"Don't worry, I, nor the Host Club, will let her do anything to you, I promise. I was in a similar situation when I first joined. Just be careful when you're around Asuka. I don't know her very well, but I've been told she has quite the temper."

"Thanks, Haruhi. That makes me feel a bit better. Ooh, is that strawberry pocky?"

Haruhi and I laughed together at my sudden change in attitude and altogether had a good lunch. After she reassured me, I felt a lot better, and I didn't think about what Asuka said for the rest of the day.

I opened the Host Club's door to be attacked by rose petals again. I came a bit earlier this time to set up what I needed to play 'Sakura Kiss'. As I was pulling the sheet music out, Hikaru came over to me and leaned down by my ear.

"What's that?"

I shivered at feeling his breath on my neck, and blushed a light pink.

"It's the sheet music for the song I chose to play in the background. I think you guys will really like it! And before you ask, no, you can't see what the song is."

Hikaru pouted cutely and crossed his arms. We stared each other down for a while before I broke the contact by beginning to tune my violin.

"Why not?"

"Because, it's a surprise! And it wouldn't be a surprise if you already knew what it was, ne?"

"I guess not…"

He continued to pout for a bit, before asking if there was anything he could help with. I stared at him, surprised. I knew he and his brother could be nice, I just didn't think he would help with my job. He began to blush at my stare, and I quickly regained my composure and said he could see if he could get me a music stand. While he was gone, I finished tuning my violin. I decided to warm up real quick before playing 'Sakura Kiss' I wanted to be prepared for this performance; I didn't want anyone to think badly of my playing. Though, I wasn't too scared about that. I usually got very positive comments.

When everyone first entered the room, it was so silent; you could hear a pen drop. There were a few people who were whispering, but other than that, it was silent as death. The silence of the room made me nervous, despite doing this thousands of times since I was nine. Everyone was seated at their designated tables, and was non-too discreetly watching me. I twitched as I felt all the host's eyes on me. I looked up to see them quickly look to their customers. I sighed, knowing I'd be watched the entire time. Though, they've heard me play before, so I don't see the point of the extra attention. Oh well, here goes nothing.

I began to play the sweet, energetic tune and I was off in a completely separate world from everyone else. It was as if only my violin and I existed. I didn't even notice the sound of a door opening quietly. As I got to the climax of the song, I felt my heart almost burst with emotion from the song. Soon, the ending came, and I ended on a soft, gentle, sweet note.

As I reopened my eyes, I heard everyone clapping enthusiastically. I smiled broadly and a light blush covered my cheeks. I always loved the sound of people enjoying music, which, in this case, was the applause from the hosts and the customers. I felt two pairs of arms wrap around me and I instantly knew whose arms they were.

"Bravo, bravo! That was very nice, Miyuki-chan!"

"Aw, thanks, but I wasn't that great…"

I was blushing profusely at the praise. I wasn't really expecting this!

"Oh, nonsense, you're just being modest! Didn't I teach you to take credit for your actions, my little cherry?"

"Eh?"

I spun around to face the familiar voice and my eyes widened in surprise.

It was my mother.
