CHAPTER ONE

The beach

A/n: this story takes place in the 8th episode, The Sun, The Sea and The Host Club, right after Haruhi is pushed off the cliff, when Tamaki argues with Haruhi…

(OvO)

"Don't forget you're a girl!"

"But it doesn't matter that I'm a girl, and they were boys. I was there, I had to do something!"

"Fine, but I'm not talking to you until you can admit you were wrong!" With that said Tamaki walked off to where the beach house was, leaving a mad and confused Haruhi behind…

…

Later that night in the dining room…

"I'm sorry, Hani-Senpai, that there aren't any maids around to help you cook." The Shadow King said to the boy-like Senpai.

"Oh, it's okay. I don't mind cooking, I think it is fun." Hani stopped and looked over at Mori "Will you go get Haru-Chan, Takashi?''

"Ah." The silent kendo champion grunted as he left.

"It's pretty gloomy here; it looks like it's going to rain." Hani said to no one in particular.

"Oh, it's not just gloomy outside…" Started Hikaru, "Yeah, but it's pretty gloomy right in here." Finished Kaoru

The group then looked at Tamaki, who was growing mushrooms in the corner.

"You shouldn't have picked a fight with her boss." Kaoru said just as Haruhi entered the room and took a seat by Tamaki, who just looked at her sadly.

"Look Haru-Chan, it's the crabs we caught. Don't they look delicious?"

"Yeah, they do look good, let's eat I'm starving."

Laugher came from around the table that is with the exception of Mori and Tamaki. They then began to eat their crabs; the only sound that was heard was the cracking of legs…

Twenty to twenty-five legs later…

"My god, don't you think you've had enough?" Tamaki said to Haruhi, who just so happened to crack another leg sending a piece of the shell at him and hitting him in the face.

"I thought you weren't talking to me?" she said looking to the side at him.

Tamaki stood "Well it looks like you're not going to admit that you're wrong… will someone show me to my room?"

Kyoya wiped his mouth and excused himself from the table to show Tamaki to his room.

"Maybe he's right, maybe I do need to find a way to protect myself…" Haruhi trailed off, looking down at her plate.

"So that's it, he got to you..." the twins said in unison. Haruhi sighed and looked at them.

"It's not like we're going to make you…" said Kaoru.

"But it won't hurt…" Hikaru said finishing his twin's sentence.

"But it's not like I caused you guys any trouble…" Haruhi said causing the twins to look at each other and shrug in unison.

"That's not true Haru-Chan." Hani said quietly. "You made us all worry. I think you need to apologize. Kay?"

She sighed then looked back up at each of her friends. "Guys, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to make you all worry. I…" she was pulled into a group hug before she could finish saying anything else. Then she felt like she was going to puke.

"Are you okay?" they party asked in unison.

"She must have eaten too much crab." Hikaru stated rather obviously.

"Let's get her to a bathroom.'' His counterpart stated.

"Be strong Haru-Chan!" Hani exclaimed loudly.

The next thing Haruhi knew she was puking her guts out in a random bathroom…

"Well that was a waste of a good meal." Haruhi thought "where am I? I was so worried, I ran into the closest room I saw." she opened the bath room door to see a man drying his hair

"Are you alright?" He asked with no real concern in his voice.

"Yes, I'm sorry, sir, about the intrusion. I'll go."

"Don't be silly Haruhi, it's just me."

"Kyoya-Senpai is that you?"

He looked at her. "Yes of course."

"Listen, down at the beach. I didn't mean to make you all worry."

"Thanks, but I wasn't all that worried. However I did have a hard time pulling Hikaru and Kaoru off those two punks." He took a drink of water out a water bottle, set it down and walked over to her. "I also had to send each of the girls a bouquet of flowers."

"I'm sorry. I'll pay for them; just add them to my debt."

"Each bouquet cost me 5000 yen." Kyoya reached over her and turned the lights down, and then he softly whispered. "If you want you can pay me back with your body."

"Kyoya-Senpai what are you doing?" She asked her voice shaky.

Kyoya grabbed her and flipped her onto the bed. "Really, Haruhi? Surely you aren't so naïve to think that a parson's sex doesn't matter…" he leaned closer to her he could smell her perfume, he looked at her lips and wondered what they would taste like "You've left yourself completely defenseless against me, completely at my will."
