The Host From Down Under (Book 1)

Chapter 8

It was a few days later and Haruhi was working on her studies while Angel had just finished and had her head resting on the table. She sat up slowly as she stretched her arms out, only to realise Haruhi was talking to the twins.

"The beach?" Haruhi asked.

"Of course, the beach" Hikaru and Kaoru spoke in unison.

"But why?" Haruhi asked.

"Don't you remember what you said?" Hikaru asked.

"You said you'd like to go to a real beach" Kaoru reminded her.

"It's true" Angel told her as she began packing her things away into her bag, pulling her sketch book out once she was done.

"Did I say that?" Haruhi asked, looking to Angel then back to the twins as they began talking again.

"Yes Haruhi. This is the fun part" the spoke in unison before moving to stand either side of a mannequin displaying a bikini.

"We brought some swimsuits for you to choose from" Kaoru told her.

"Pretty cute, don't you think?" Hikaru asked as Angel looked towards the twins as they spoke before looking over to Honey who was holding a different swimsuit clad mannequin in his arms.

"Not that one! I think this swimsuit would look much cuter on Haru-chan!" Honey told them, the mannequin he brandished wore a one-piece blue swimsuit with white ruffles.

"I don't think you get it Honey-senpai" Hikaru and Kaoru spoke in unison.

Angel blocked them out before beginning to work on a drawing of a bird she had seen outside the nearby window, a soft smile on her lips.

"gel...? Hey, Angel..." Haruhi spoke while waving her hand in front of her face to get her attention.

"Ah, sorry Haruhi, I guess I zoned out, did you say something?" Angel apologised as she looked up at her.

"Yeah, Tamaki-senpai said we're going to the beach so we need to pack a bag for overnight" Haruhi told her with a smile.

"Really? Cool" Angel smiled up at her.

"Lets pack as soon as we get home then we can relax, okay?" Angel spoke as Haruhi nodded.

"Sure" Haruhi smiled back.

The Hosts all rode together in Kyoya's family's limo, Angel was seated across from Haruhi and was looking out of the window while holding her camera bag, her backpack at her feet.

It was a long drive which seemed to fly past before they arrived, not long after that, Angel was sitting with Haruhi under a large beach umbrella while setting up her camera.

"It would've been nice if they had told us about this beforehand..." Angel commented quietly so only Haruhi could hear her as she glanced in the direction of Tamaki and Kyoya.

"Yeah... This sucks... I thought coming to the beach meant a day off" Haruhi complained while looking towards her before they both noticed Honey and Mori nearby with a couple customers, the four of them doing what appeared to be stretches.

"Same here... Anyway, I might as well start taking photos" Angel spoke as she stood up, pulling a cap on over her head, having already applied sunscreen to herself and the back of Haruhi's neck while Haruhi had done her own arms and legs and the back of Angel's neck for her.

She held up her camera and snapped a couple different pictures of Haruhi before wondering off, glad she had brought her sandals again and not her thongs (aka: Flipflops), having contemplated about it before leaving home. She had her camera bag hanging from her shoulder and her camera around her neck as she slipped on a pair of sunglasses. She wore a blue t-shirt with a koala's face on the front, her growing chest bandaged to keep the illusion that she was a boy with a pair of cargo shorts.
