Mori and I continued on the long and wet path. I clung to his neck and just watched the trees and nature pass us by. It was peaceful, I almost fell asleep in his arms.

I breathed in his signature sent and really wondered what Haruhi was doing. It felt like we were walking for ages before Mori stopped.

"Whats wrong?" I asked him.

"Mm..." he grunted, having a tighter grip on me.

I lifted my head to see exactly why we stopped.

His eyes scanned the bushes before we were surrounded by men in military gear. They slowly pushed through from the bushes.

They inched closer and closer.

"Target confirmed." Our heads whipped to one of the police officers who talked into a walkie talkie that was on his shoulder. "Additionally, the target is being held by a suspicious person. We will now secure our target."

Another guard shouted, "Hey, you. Release that boy. If not, we shall resort to force!"

Instantly, the police point their guns at Mori. While distracted, I felt a massive tug on my arm, with enough force to snap my arm off.

I screamed, and Mori-senpai quickly kicked the officer away again.

"Ah! Ahh..." he regained his footing. "This man is resisting! Ready your weapons!"

Mori was prepared to go full demon mode before we heard a high pitched voice ring in.

"Takashi, N/N-chan, get out of the way!" We looked up and saw Honey-senpai swinging on a vine like a jungle man. He winds up kicks one of the officers in the face.

"Gah! Ngh... What are you doing, you shortie?!" The officer clutches his nose.

Another shouted, "Who cares? Shoot him!"

Honey subdues the police officers one by one. There were about 50 guards, it's truely amazing.

"Don't be doing reckless things! Bullying my friends is a no-no!" Honey wagged his finger in a 'no' motion. He waved in a direction and Haruhi emerged with a sweat drop on her face.

She looked irritated asf, but it didn't matter. I quickly jumped from moris arms and ran to Haruhi. We slipped a few times as the ground was still extremely muddy.

"Are you okay?" She asked me immediately.

"Bro, are YOU okay?" I asked her and checked her arms. She giggled and gave me a hug.

Deep down, I'm glad she's okay...I don't know why, but I feel such a strong connection with her...

Soon we met up with the rest of the club members, and soon it was time to go home.

We walked back from deep in the forest, Hikaru spoke up first. "This was a horrible idea. Next time, we should go to the beach for a change of mood."

"The beach is a good idea." His brother grinned.

Tamaki scoffed, "Fools. Haruhi and Y/n aren't interested in that."

"Actually..." Haruhi pondered. "I wouldn't mind going to the beach."

"I disagree, I hate the beach." I groaned, feeling a headache start to form.

"Whaaat! You wouldn't build sandcastles with me?" Honey cried.

"I mean I guess, it's just a lot of sand to deal with."

"I don't really enjoy obviously artificial sites, but the beach is nice. It's beautiful, too. The sand is a downside tho." She agreed with me.

Tamaki immediately stopped walking, in turn making everyone crash into each other.

"Okay, I know." he spun to us, before continuing to walk. "We'll go to the beach next time!"

'God this group and their shenanigans...'

"So everyone to the beach next time, huh? It's going to be so much fun!" Honey grinned.

As we left the tropical park, I couldn't help but wonder...if fighting it was truely worth it.
