Bruses and Battles
Adelynn awakes with the feeling of something on her mouth and an overwhelming amount of pain radiating on her back. Her eyes slowly flutter open and she sees a small blurry figure. Her eyes amuse and she sees Honey-Senpai.
"Mitsuki?" She questions as she sees I fallen tears in his eyes.
"Adelynn!" Mitsuki shouts as he engulfs Adelynn in a hug.
"H-honey!" She squirms. His hands where putting pressure on her back and chest. Honey leans back to see her pain.
"I'm sorry Adelynn! If I had gotten out then you wouldn't of had to take all of the wave for me! And now you're in pain because of me!" Mitsuki cries. Adelynns eyes widen as she hugs Honey and rubs his back.
"Don't worry I'll get you out of here. I'm sure the others are looking for us. I know how the Shadow King thinks, plus I looked at the map. So I know where to go, alright?" Adelynn said with a bright smile, Mitsuki's sobs quietened. 'She really does have a soft spot for kids.' Mitsuki thought. "Just follow me and I'm sure we can get out safely." Adelynn reassures as she holds Mitsuki's hand and walks through the trees. Mitsuki looks up at her and then their intertwined hands. He looks away with a blush and then his cheeks turn more red at the sound of his stomach rumbling. Adelynn looks behind her with a amused smile and raised eyebrows as Mitsuki avoids her stare. She chuckles as she shakes her head at Mitsuki's sudden shyness.
"I'll go get us some bananas." She said as she lets go of his hand and looks around for a banana tree. She quickly spots one and runs over to it and hugs it as she places her legs around it too. Then when she moves her arms to pull herself higher up the tree her back breaks out into a sharp. She inhales quickly but ignores it and uses her pain to fuel herself and moves quickly up the tree. She grabs a bunch of bananas and quickly shimmies down the tree and jigs over to Mitsuki. Just as she broke one off from the bunch and handed it to him, it started to rain. Her smile doesn't faultier as she snaps a palm leaf off from a strange plant and holds it above herself and Mitsuki, using it as a makeshift umbrella. She holds the bananas as Mitsuki eats them, not eating any herself as they walked through the forest, listening to the sound of wildlife and rain fall. She sighs in relaxation and Mitsuki perks up.
"Aren't you hungry Adelynn?" He asks. Adelynn looks down at him with a small pout. Since when had he ever called her Adelynn this much. Where did Rose-chan go?
"Nah, this reminds me of summer camp. I could go hours without eating in the forest." Adelynn smiles at the memory. Except it wasn't really summer camp. It was more Hunger Games at her school except people didn't die, they just got stung with tazers. Good times.
"Eat some." Mitsuki said Ashe pulled puppy dog eyes at her. She rolls her eyes and shakes her head, but neither the less takes one and starts eating it. She nods to herself.
"We should ask Kyoya if he can get us banana cake for the club. I'm sure he could make some deals with the current cooking club in exchange for some free hosting." Adelynn thought aloud. Mitsuki giggled by her side. She smiles as he returns it, and they walk in a comfortable silence until the rain let up, to which she just through the palm leaf on the floor. Full up on bananas they continued to walk on the grass that had turned slightly squishy from the rain. The silence grew comfortable once again but the sound of something bigger and heavier than them interrupted the atmosphere. Whilst Adelynn feel down to the group in a low stance Mitsuki ran over to a tree, taking the advantage of height. Adelynn looks around the area to pinpoint the movement whilst keeping Mitsuki in her range of sight. The heavy footsteps grew louder and they both spotted Haruhi and Takashi in a clearing surrounded by armed guards. Adelynn growls quietly as Mitsuki looks around for something. Adelynn watched with a small smirk as Takashi knocks one of the men out, sending him flying.
"Takashi! Haru-chan! Outta' the way!" Mitsuki shouts as he swings from a vine, knowing a man over. Adelynn stealthily came out from the bushes as Mitsuki distracted the men, she would kick or punch them as quietly as she could as everyone's eyes remained one Honey. The twenty men where taken down, one courtesy of Takashi, eleven thanks to Mistuki and the rest to Adelynn.
"You guys should be more carefully with who you mess with. Picking on my friends is bed!" Honey shouts as flowers and love hearts appear around him. Adelynn stood behind Haruhi and Takashi, away from the fallen men as to not bring suspicion to herself.
"Haruhi! Haruhi, are you alright?" Tamaki asks as he came running over, the twins and Kyoya in tow.
"Hey it's Tama-chan!" Honey smiles.
"Oh wow-" "-you okay Senpai?" Karou asks.
"Haruhi! I was so worried." Tamaki said as he brought Haruhi into a hug.
"I'm not sure what happened here but at least their still alive." Hikaru said as he pokes one of the men.
"It's pretty amazing that this is Honey-Senpai's work. He must of really been holding back." Karou comments.
"Huh? What do you mean holding back?" Haruhi asks.
"So then-" "- you don't know?"
"Haninozuka's are known for their marshal arts.they even help train the police and SPD forces but they also have over seas military's." Karou states.
"Honey-Senpai in particular is the dreadnought of Haninozuka family. By the time he was in middle school he became an international champion in Karate and Judo." Kyoya said.
"Mori-Senpai is no slouch either. He won the national championship in kendo when he was just in middle school." Tamaki adds.
"So how where you able to find us Honey-Senpai?" Karou asks.
"Rose-chan did most the work. It didn't take long till we reached the end of the current pool and Rose-chan had remembered the map! So we just went in the direction that you would of taken to get to us!" Honey smiles. Most of the members look over to Adelynn who was awkwardly standing behind Haruhi.
"What? If I'm going to be someone's Guinea pig I should at least remember all of the map so I know the place. Seemed like logic to me." She crosses her arms, with a slight flinch from her back muscles. Adelynn watched in boredom as the men apologied to Mitsukuni. Half of them didn't realise that it was her who had taken them down. A smirk appears at the sight of her handy work. She was so stealthy they didn't even notice her. Adelynn watches as Haruhi looked like she was going to faint so she hooks arms with her.
"You know Haruhi, not everyone is who they seem at first glance. You appear as a boy and our Senpai's are Nobel fighters. It's not wonder girls fawn over you lots, you're so mysterious." Adelynn give Haruhi a reassuring smile, and Haurhi nods dumbly at her. They silently watched as Honey and Moris moment and Adelynn let a small, almost vunrable, smile slip onto her lips. She closes her eyes to gain composure and looks up at the sky as a flock of birds flew over. Then she felt a shadow loom over her. Mori stood in front of her, a Neutral expression on his face.
"Are you okay?" He asks.
"'Course I a-" but she stops as Mori puts his hand on her shoulder, making her flinch with pain.
"Adelynn! Your back is all bruised!" Tamaki panics as he hops around. Mori turns her around and Adelynn hears various gasps from everyone. She glares at the empty space in front of her.
"Adelynn, you should of told us you were hurt." Haruhi said earnestly.
"It's not as bad as it looks." Adelynn shrugs as she holds back the wince. Takashi turns around a crouches as the twins sneak up behind Adelynn. She looks over her shoulder at them with a raised eyebrow.
"What are you-hey! Ow! Stop touching me!" Adelynn complains as they push her onto Mori's back. Takashi holds her hands so they hugged his neck and stood up. Adelynn in panic wraps her legs around his torso. "You know that friginn' hurt." She hisses at the twins who smirked. She grumbles under her breath as she loosens her arms slightly from Takashi's neck and they all start to leave the forest. She listens quietly to their conversation as she leans on Takashi's back, enjoying as she watches over all her fri-clients. She leans her forehead down onto Takashi's shoulder, letting out an exhausted sigh and not caring about personal space or how Takashi felt about her very close proximity.
"Are you alright?" Takashi asks.
"It doesn't hurt that much." Adelynn said as she lays her chin on his shoulder. He looks at her, sending her a look that read 'That's-not-what-I-meant'. Adelynn looks away, as if her eyes where seeing but not the scenery. She shrugs her shoulders and looks down at the ground, not sure what to think. She felt like one of them knew. She had a sneaking suspicion. But then again she knows that they don't. It was either that or she wanted to tell them. To tell them that she was payed to be with them. To be their bodyguard. To make them happy. Not because she wanted to spend time with them, but she was payed too. That she'd been trained by two of their parents for a whole year, her mum had broken two of them so they lost hope in humanity, she knew where one of their mothers where, the other because she got payed the most by him, and the last because she was a loose thread that needed to be watched other wise the hole ground would fall apart if she was taken. A heavy burden for such a young person. She needed something to take her mind of these thoughts. To make those suspicious of her turn their curiosity towards someone knew.
"What about you Adelynn?" Karou asks as the rest of the group look back to her for her opinion of something she wasn't paying attention too. By the looks of their faces it was something fun or exciting.
"Don't mind." She briefly answered before she yawns, telling them she was tiered so they didn't suspect her for such a small answer. She put her head back down on Takashi's shoulder and her breathing went into a slow pace. Peaceful. Relaxed. Entertained. Something she felt when she was stuck with this odd group of friends.
But she did t realise that the distraction she asked for. . .
Would annoy her so much.

"- Today you will be assigned a partner." Adelynns boss told her.
"A partner? Since when did I need a partner?" Adelynn asks in annoyance as she sits in the car.
"Since the Hittachin household was broken into last night. The attempts have become more regular, there's a chance you won't be able to handle-"
Adelynn scoffs as the car drives off.
"-the assailant so we've taken precautions."
"So which lucky person gets to spend more time with me?" Adelynn try's to joke as she looks out the window boredly.
"You already know him. Just don't break his skull in. He was also you upper class men in the training academy. So you had most your classes with him. The Host Club know about him, but not you so don't break your cover with your attitude." Her boss informs her.
"I don't know what your saying. Everyone loves my attitude." Her boss could hear her smirk.
"Don't mess this up Miss. Rose!" Then the line went dead.
"Yes Mrs. Farley." Adelynn mutters bitterly as she removes her earphones and places them in her ears, listening to music.

Adelynn puts her hair up in a high ponytail and a loose blue cotton top and shorts on top of her blue bikini. She leaves the changing room to feel the sand under her feet and she walks over to one of the venders to get herself a drink. She could hear the host club and all its guest shouting or having fun on the beach, which was only four more steps around the corner. She opens up her can of fizzy drink and walks to the corner, only to bump into a hard chest.
"I'm so sorr-" She stops through her sentence only to drop her can and stamp the persons body on the wall. In return he holds his hands up innocently with a grin on his face. "What are you doing here?" She hisses.
"My job." He replies boredly.
"So straight forward about killing my clients, aren't we?" She brings his chest forward and slams it against the wall again. As quick as a flash he skilfully flips their bodies. Adelynns hands where pinned above her head as the tall boy looms over her.
"Weren't you informed of your partner?" He asks with a raised brow. Her mouth went dry as she looks up at him in shock.
"Y-you're my partner?" She asks, bewildered.
"Yep! Your splitting the pay with me too. Quiet a hearty check that was too, I can't see why you would need it though. You are after all the daughter of-"
"You f*cking prat." Adelynn said in a threatening tone.
"A lady shouldn't talk like that." He smirks.
"Bite me, Pretty Boy."
