Yoru's POV
____________

So today we don't have school, since today is Thanksgiving. Yay~ (sarcasm) So far my morning has been, well to put it bluntly, shit. I woke up with clothes laid out on the bed for me (pic at top, far right) and I got changed. Pretty normal. As I walk out my door to go downstairs, a tripwire goes off and paint is dumped on me.  The second after the paint falls on me, the twin maids come and start to scrub the carpet. Glaring and dripping paint, I go back into my room to take a shower.

After my shower and trying to get all of the bright green paint out of my hair, some still on my skin, I change into a different outfit (pic at top, far left XD). And this time when I walk out of my room, Hikaru is standing there with a bucket of water. Yelping I ducked under his arm and run down the stairs with him chasing after me. He's able to dump the water on me, and then both him and I slip on the wet floor, falling on top of each other. 

He glares at me and pushes me off roughly, complaining that I got his outfit soaking wet. As he storms upstairs, quietly snickering, I sit on the floor, coughing quietly from the impact of his push. And that ladies and gentlemen is how my morning has been. Any questions? No? Okay good 'cause I wasn't gonna answer them. I slowly pull myself off the ground, cringing slightly. 

"Yoru honey~!" Mom's voice rings out, coming around the corner and seeing me. "Yoru what happened? Why is the floor all wet? Tsuki! Mika!" She calls and two different maids come and start cleaning the floor. 

"Just a prank my brothers pulled." I laugh fakely and she smiles. 

"You three and your pranks. Come on now, instead of having a thanksgiving dinner we'll be having a thanksgiving brunch." She grabs my arm and pulls me to the kitchen.

"What, why's that?" I ask, letting her drag me.

"Because silly! All of the host club members are going over to Mitsukuni and Takashi's place for thanksgiving dinner." She smiles and puts me to work preparing food.

"Oh.. I didn't know that." I say, water dripping down my back. "Then I should probably make a cake, huh.." 

"Oh that'd be wonderful~! Here, i'll do this," Mom says, taking the food she told me to prepare. "You go make your cake Hun." I nod and take out ingredients. 

Timeskip

The cake's in the oven and the table's set. My clothes are dry for the most part, and my hair has dried into a wavy state. Mom told me to go get my brothers, so i'm headed upstairs right now. 

"You need to stop." I hear Kaoru say as I get to their bedroom door.

"What are you saying you actually care about her now?"

"That's not the point.. she's hurt Hikaru." He says, his voice pained.

"And?! Can't you see what's happening? She's stealing the hosts away from us! It's obvious mom's more happy now that that whore is back." Hikaru huffs and I frown, putting my hands gingerly on the door, wanting to hear more.

"Don't call Yoru a whore Hikaru. She's our sister and it's time you start treating her like one!" Kaoru shouts and I hear angry footsteps coming to the door. I back up quickly as it swings open to show a red faced Kaoru. "Y-yoru.." He stutters, seeing me.

"U-uh.. um... mom told me to get you guys so we can go eat!" I squeak out before running back downstairs, my face flushed.

I'm already sitting at the table when Kaoru and Hikaru come down, sour faced.

"Awe come on, cheer up boys!" Mom says, pinching their cheeks before sitting down next to me. "Once we're all done eating, you three could probably head over to Mitsukuni's right away, i'm sure the others are already there waiting for you." 

I nod as my brothers sit down and we begin to eat. The longer we stayed at the table, the more the mood lightened. We had small talk, mostly mom talking to us, but it was fun nonetheless. After we finished eating Kaoru and I cleaned up dinner, letting Mom go to her office to work. Hikaru went upstairs.

"Yoru, how much did you hear?" Koaru asks, handing a maid some dishes.

"N-not much..." I murmur, putting plates in the dishwasher.

"Yoru tell me the truth, please."

"I heard you sticking up for me.." I look over at him, my voice quiet. "Does he really think that? I'm stealing the hosts from you?"

"He does.. he's just being a stubborn ass." Kaoru's eyes darken while speaking about his brother.

"Are you guys.. fighting?" 

"You could say that I guess." He sighs, coming over to me and hugging me in a tight embrace. "I'm sorry Yoru.." 

"I-i don't want you two fighting! Go apologize Kaoru-Kun!" I yell, pulling away from him, freaking quietly.

"Not until he apologizes to you." He says, being stubborn. 

I sigh and look at the floor, "I'm sorry Kaoru... I should've stayed in America huh?" I laugh slightly.

"But then none of us would've gotten the chance to meet you, Miss Hitachiin." Kyoya's voice says, making me look up. The hosts were now standing in the kitchen, watching the two of us. I blush, seeing the rest of them nod their heads.  

"Hey I thought we were meeting you guys at Huni-Senpai's?" Kaoru asks, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Our 'king' wanted to surprise you three by coming to pick you up." Kyoya explains, pushing up his glasses.

"Well before we leave, I wanna go change first." I say, hugging Kaoru quick before going upstairs. Once I get upstairs someone pins me to the wall, their hand closed around my throat.

"Do you see what you're doing?" Hikaru whispers angrily, making me cough, I couldn't breath. "You just want everything for yourself, don't you. Taking mom away, the hosts, and now you've taken Kaoru from me." I shake my head, tears forming in my eyes. "Don't try to deny it you little bi-"

"I'll go get Hikaru I guess.." Kaoru's voice sounds from downstairs. Before Hikaru lets go of me, he punches me in the stomach, and pushes me into my room. 

I fall to the floor, coughing, tears streaming out of my eyes. That's gonna be a bruise.. Groaning quietly in pain, I use my dresser to help pull myself from the floor. As pain sears through my stomach I change into a different outfit, more fit for being around the hosts (middle outfit at the top.)

"Yoru," Mori's deep voice sounds from the other side of my door, knocking. "Are you ready?"

"Y-yea! J-just a moment Takashi-kun!" I reply, going to the side bathroom and lifting my shirt up. My stomach is all red and it's still throbbing. Sighing quietly and making sure my face is free of tears, I open the door. He allows me to go first, leading me downstiars.

Mori takes me out to the limo where everyone is waiting. I steal a glance at Hikaru and he has a smug look on his face. Sitting down next to Huni, he crawls into my lap. "Gomenasai, I didn't mean to make you all wait." 

"It's alright, girls should take their time while deciding what to wear~!" Tamaki says, gushing at my outfit.

"O..kay?" I question, laughing slightly. "Oh, Kaoru did you grab the cake?" He nods, smiling to me. I see Hikaru glare out of the corner of my eye. 

"Yo-Chan, you made cake!?" Huni gasps, looking at me. I nod, smiling.

"Strawberry~ You're favorite." I hug him close to me, giggling quietly. I don't notice him blush as I ask, "So why're we all celebrating Thanksgiving together?"

"Because we're a family of course~!" Tamaki explains. "Mommy and Daddy wanna spend time with our children~!"

"Don't worry Yoru, i'd much rather stay home too." Haruhi says bluntly, making Tamaki go to an emo corner in a limo?

"No, i'm not saying I'd rather stay at home, i'm just curious as to why we're doing it." Before I get another response,  the limo pulls up to the Haninozuka Manor and everyone piles out of the car.

"You first Yoru." Takashi says, we were the last two in the car. I blush slightly, smiling to him.

"Arigato Takashi-Kun~" I step out of the limo and look up at Mitskuni's house. It's so pretty. It's completely Japanese styled, and it's huge. I feel a hand press on my lower back, pushing me gently towards the house. Takashi and I walked in, and everyone was already seated in the living room.

"So what should we do to pass the time?" Kaoru asks as Takashi and I sit down.

"Yea, it's a long way from dinner." I say, pulling my hair up into a messy bun.

"We can play hide and seek! A commoner game~!" Tamaki says, throwing his hands in the air.

"Not it!" I shout, along with Kaoru, Mitsukuni, Tamaki, Haruhi, and Hikaru.  

"Mommy you should be it!" Tamaki says, standing up and pointing to Kyoya.

"I won't be playing." He says, pulling out a laptop.

"Takashi do you wanna be it?" Huni asks the tall senior and he nods curtly closing his eyes to count. Smiling, we all run off to find hiding places. As everyone speeds off in different directions, I run out but then wait by the door. Once the patter of footsteps ceases I tiptoe back into the room and motion for Kyoya to be quiet. I crawl under the kotatsu table.  

After a small wait, I hear Takashi get up and leave the room. I giggle silently, laying down under the table and putting my head in Kyoya's lap. "Ne, Kyo-Kun don't tell anyone i'm here, kay?" I murmur, already starting to feel drowsy. 

"Sure Yoru." I hear him chuckle, his fingers typing on the laptop. I hum quietly, hugging his waist and using him as a pillow.

Kyoya's POV
____________

Why is Yoru lying in my lap? I'm not saying I dislike this, but why chose me? Sighing quietly, knowing  she'll probably end up falling asleep. I look at the expenses for the club before moving onto a simple game of solitaire, waiting for them to finish their foolish little game. 

After a good twenty minutes or so, Tamaki and Huni-Senpai enter the room, both of them with sad faces. "Tama-Chan got found first.." Huni-Senpai says, sitting down next to me. One of my hands are underneath the table, gently rubbing Yoru's back.

"And I assume if you are to play this again, Tamaki will be the one to do the searching?" I inquire and Tamaki nods.

"Takashi's found Kao-Chan, and he's still looking for Hika-Chan and Yo-Chan." He explains, and I smirk slightly.

"I know where Yoru is." I say simply, switching my screen back to club expenses.

"Really? Where is she Kyo-Chan?" Huni asks happily, looking at me eagerly.

"In this room." 

"Where in the room?" 

"She told me not to tell where she was hidden, so I will remain to keep this secret." I tell him, feeling a light pink crawl to my cheeks as Yoru hugs my waist tighter.

Pouting, Huni stays in the room until Hikaru, Kaoru, and Mori-Senpai walk in. "Takashi Yo-Chan's in here somewhere~"  I pull my hand out from under the table, typing with both hands now and acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

I glance up to see Mori-Senpai sit down, reach under the table, and pull out a sleeping Yoru. I smirk, seeing her groan and curl up. She yawns quietly, stretching. "Did I win?" She's so innocent... wait, what?

"Yep! You were the last one to be found Yo-Chan!" Huni giggles, hugging her tightly. I notice her wince, but she covers it up quickly by laughing and hugging back. 

"So are we playing another round?" She asks, letting go of the buoyant blonde and rubbing her eyes.

"Sure! Tama-Chan your turn to count!" He stands up, grabbing Yoru's hand and dragging her out of the room. "C'mon Yo-Chan I have a perfect place for you to hide!"

Where's he taking her?

Huni's POV
____________

My hand interlaces with Yoru's as I run upstairs with her following behind.

"Mitsukuni-Kun where are you taking me?" She asks curiously as we slow to a walk. Gosh I love it when she says my first name instead of my surname.. she even adds -Kun at the end~

"Giving you a good hiding spot~!" I giggle, bringing her into my room. My room is pure white with pink spreadsheet on the bed. My stuffed animals are in the corner, but Usa-Chan is sitting on the bed. I bring her over to my closet. "We can hide in here Yo-Chan!" I open the doors, where more stuffed animals are kept.

She giggles, making my heart melt slightly. "You have so many stuffed animals~ They're so adorable." She picks up a white bunny, looking at it. I smile and push her into the pile, crawling in after her and closing the door securely. 

"You're right Mitsukuni-Kun this is a great hiding-" She says but I put a finger to her lips, silencing her.

I giggle quietly, "Shh Yo-Chan~!" I whisper. "Don't give us away so quickly. Here, bury yourself in my stuffed animals, kay?"  Her lips were so soft... I blush slightly, glad she can't see it since it's dark. We bury each other until we're covered in stuffed animals, sitting right next to each other. Glancing up at her, I see a smile on her face, but I also notice her chest up against my arm... I blush brightly, knowing it's unintentional. She smells like strawberries.. 

After a little bit of waiting, Yoru breaks the silence. "How long do you think we should wait?" 

"I'm not sure.. Tama-Chan must've found some people by now." I whisper, leaning against her.

She hums quietly, grabbing a stuffed animal. "Where'd you get all of these?"

"Different places, most of them I bought myself." I explain, still whispering quietly.

"Look at this one~ It's adorable~" She giggles, stuffing one in my face. I take it from her and smile.

"I got this last christmas~" I tell her, looking at the white bunny she grabbed earlier.

We go silent for awhile, still waiting to be found. "Ne, Mitsukuni-Kun i'm bored." Yoru says a while later, leaning back against the wall. "How could we make this more interesting..?"

I feel a smirk reach my lips as I slowly sit up more. I quickly reach over and start tickling Yoru, giggling. She squeals quietly (and adorably) and tries moving away from me, but I follow her, continuing to tickle her. "C'mon Yo-chan~! You don't like being tickled?" 

She laughs, leaning back against the door, unable to speak. Her laugh is so cute, I can't help but to continue tickling her. I'm sure this caught someone's attention but at this moment, I don't care, i'm having fun. And I was soon right, because the closet door swung open and Yoru and I toppled out, me on top of her, straddling her waist. She was still laughing hard, complaining her stomach hurt.

"Huni-Senpai? What're you doing?" Tamaki asks me, looking down at us and frowning.

"We got bored Tama-Chan! So we decided to have a tickle war~!" I giggle, still straddling Yoru. "I won!"

"Well, you guys have fun with that.." He chuckles but then pouts. "You two are the first people i've found."

"Wh-what?" Yoru laughs out, pushing my hands away from her sides so she could breath. "We've been waiting in there for ages!"

"This house is big! And there's a lot of rooms!" Tamaki pouts, making both of us giggle. 

"Oh boss~" One of Yoru's brother's voices sounds outside the door, making Tamaki bolt out of the room, shouting in anger. Yoru suddenly sits up and starts tickling me.

"Who ever said you won this tickle war?" She laughs, pushing me onto the floor and kneeling above me. I start laughing out of habit, blushing faintly. I try pushing her hands away from my sides, and she loses her support, falling into me and making our lips collide. I blush brightly as we stay there a moment. She pulls away, blushing as dark as her hair.

"I-i'm so sorry Mitsukuni-Kun, I-i slipped-!" She starts but I cut her off with a giggle.

"Ne that's okay Yo-Chan~! You taste like strawberries!" I giggle more, standing up. "C'mon, maybe we can help Tama-Chan find the others~!" And I skip out of the room.

I wasn't lying when I said she tastes likes strawberries...The taste lingers on my lips... I kinda crave for more. But I have to keep in mind Takashi seems to fancy Yoru too....

I'm just gonna end it here XD I still haven't decided who should fall for Yoru. To tell you the truth, Huni is my favorite host, so I might do him, but a lot of people are saying to do Kyoya or Mori instead... I don't know, i'll have to think about it. XD Love you guys~!
