A/N: This is horrible. I really should be working on Witch Meister, but nooooo i have to go and start another fic! Whatever, this little number, Sunshine and Roses, was adopted from Ca-ru-te-ru, seeing as how she (he?) had no more motivation to write it anymore. Shame, too, I liked where it was going. Anyways, I'm in charge of this fic now, which makes me so happy! XDD

I'm picking up right where she (he?) left off, so this is chapter 4. For the first three chappies, go to Ca-ru-te-ru's profile. I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: i do not own Ouran High School Host Club, and I can't even say i own this plot! I only own my own ideas and plot twists.

"So," Iyako set a tray of tea in front of me.

"So?"

"What's your excuse?"

I picked up one of the cups and stirred some sugar cubes into it. The cubes made a plopping noise as they plunged into the hot liquid.

"Well, you see...I encountered some...ahem, boys today." I used to stutter and freeze up at the mention of the opposite sex, but after a while, I got over it. But I was still a little wary of it.

Iyako raise her eyebrows. "Is that so?" I could tell she was trying to keep calm, seeing as how she was the therapist, but I could tell she was worried sick.

I nodded. "Yeah... I wasn't really paying attention and accidentally ran into this one boy and got cake all over him."

"And how was he?" Pfft. More like "How did you react?"

I took a sip of my tea. "He was fine. Kinda cute. Like a little kid. He had a friend with him."

"Oh really? And him?" Translation: "Are you okay?"

I took a deep breath. "He...was..." What could I say? Scary? Intimidating? Probably strong? I couldn't say anything that wouldn't make Iyako worry. I could see his face. I could feel his arms pinning me against the wall.

"He was...h-he..."

I couldn't go on. Next thing I knew, my grip on the teacup had tightened that I was trembling. My pupils were shaking and my breath had quickened. What was wrong with me? I thought I had grown out of all of this, so why couldn't I bring myself to-

"Annabel?"

I looked up at Iyako. She had placed a hand on my knee and was staring at me with worried eyes. Not with ones of a person who had a PhD in Psychiatry, but with those of a truly caring person.

I smiled. "I'm fine. Just not really used to people my age yet." She winced at my response, but quickly recovered.

"Well then, as you were saying."

I put the tea down. "His friend was...something." I internally nodded at the vague word. "Anyways, the kid, Mitsukuni I think, asked me if I wanted to have cake with him. I said yes and he started pulling me to their club. But then you called and I had to leave."

"What kind of club are they a part of?"

I shrugged. "I dunno. Now that I think about it, we were by the music wing so maybe a music club?"

"Interesting..." Iyako's eyes kept flickering to her black notepad that sat on her desk a little ways away. When I started my sessions with her, my parents had requested that she take no sort of physical record of my state of mind. And that if she did, they be burned immediately after use. Iyako respected that. And that's what I loved about her. I knew that her notes were probably her one tool to study her patient and try to help them. Notes were sort of a therapist's bread and butter, if you will, and Iyako was no different. However, unlike most therapists, Iyako didn't take notes and study them like I was some scientific experiment. She studied me as a human being.

"Did they seem nice?" Iyako tried to seem calm and collected, like she wasn't going to scribble everything I had said down as soon as I left like she always did.

I shrugged. "I don't really know, I only spent a few minutes with them. But..."

She raised an eyebrow. "But?"

"I have a feeling I'll be running into them again tomorrow."

She sighed. "Well, all I can say is just to be careful. This might be too soon of an encounter for you to take on. After all, it-"

"I know!" I snapped, making her jolt. She still wasn't used to my random outbursts, but neither was I. I blinked. Then gave a sheepish smile. "Sorry. Don't worry. I'll be careful. I promise!"

~the next day~

I fidgeted nervously in the back seat of my limo. I had a feeling that I would run into those boys again, whether I wanted to or not. What was I going to do? I sighed. Maybe Iyako was right...

I groaned and fell onto the car seat, burying my face in a random throw pillow. Really? A throw pillow? In a car? I sighed again. Whatever.

"Um, Miss Annabel?" I looked up to meet the worried face of my driver looking back at me. "We're here."

I sat up and straightened my hair and smoothed out my skirt. Grabbing my school bag I slid out of the sleek vehicle.

"Thanks again!" I called as I dashed up to the front main entrance of the school.

The walk to Homeroom was rather uneventful, just a few hellos here and there to some nameless, faceless people that were there yesterday.

I passed the two redheads that I sit behind on the way to my seat. They each had an arm around a brunette kid who had an indifferent look on his face. Now that I got a better look, I realized that he was the boy from yesterday. The one who was talking about...alien space monkeys? Or was it vampire space monkeys?

I took my seat and stared out the large window to my left. The only good thing about this school is that they had huge-ass windows - perfect for daydreaming.

I traced every detail with my eyes. The way the clouds rolled lazily across the sky; the way the cherry blossom leaves seemed to float perfectly in the light breeze; the gentle trickling of the fountain with the awkwardest statue down below. Seriously, who puts a peeing boy fountain statue in a school courtyard?

Yep, I was sucked into my own perfect world of weirdness. That is, until I felt a pair of thin arms sling themselves around my shoulders and hot breath in my ear.

"Well what do we have here, brother?" a deep voice said in my right ear.

"I do believe we have a new kitten, brother," a higher, yet huskier, one replied in my left.

I froze. My shoulders tensed. My breath stopped. Thoughts swirled through my mind and I was only able to catch one word.

Shit

A finger found its way underneath my chin and tilted it upwards. My hazel eyes were met with glowing gold ones, the kind that reminded me of a cat. It was one of the redheads, a playful smirk plastered on his lips. But to me it was anything but playful. To me it was sinister and sadistic, one that would appear at the peak of my misery, for that was the only kind of smirk I had seen: an evil one.

"What is it?" he asked smoothly. "Cat got your tongue, doll?" I flinched at the last word.

"You really are just like a doll. You're fourteen yet you give off the presence of a child. It's adorable."

Before I could choke out a reply, another finger came and stole my face from the other, making me look in the other direction.

"Hikaru, you can't have her all to yourself. You have to share~" the higher voice whined. My head was jerked to the left only to meet a reflection of the face I had just turned away from.

"P-please..." I whimpered. God I probably sound so pathetic right now.

The one on the left raised an eyebrow. "Yes, princess?" At that my body began shaking. My hands clutched my skirt until my knuckles turned white. My breath began to quicken rapidly. I knew what was happening. I was having a panic attack.

"Just...stop...please, I beg of you..."

I could see him. Looming right in front of me. His piercing violet eyes coming ever closer with each menacing step he took. A dark smile upon his face. I could feel his hands roaming my body, touching places that I'd rather kept virgin. Then I heard it. His laugh. Oh how it was poison to my ears. It wouldn't stop. It only got louder. I covered my ears. I shook my head. Anything to keep him away! Anything! Just stop it! STOP IT! Stop...please...

"Hikaru! Kaoru! What is the meaning of this?" A stern female voice snapped me from my daymare. My eyes flew open and I looked up to see Sensei Konijin staring the twins down with one of her famous glares.

"H-hey chill, Sensei!" Hikaru stuttered. "We were just playing a game with Annabel here, r-right Kaoru?"

"T-totally! Just a game! Nothing else!"

Sensei eyed me. "It seemed more like you were scaring her than anything else."

I gave her my best fake smile. "No it was all fun and games, Sensei, really!" I felt the twins' surprised gaze on me, but I ignored it. "We're all in the same Drama Class and we were just practicing a scene together." I kept lying smoothly. "You see, Hikaru and Kaoru play these two demons who come to earth in human forms and I am their next victim. We were rehearsing our first meeting, which is at night so naturally, I have to act scared. Pretty interesting, huh?"

Sensei seemed to relax a little bit, but she bought it. "Well, those two certainly fit the part if that's what you mean," she mumbled. "But if anything happens, just let me know." Translation: "If they do anything to you, just scream and I'll be there."

I smiled. "No worries!" She eyed the twins cautiously before turning back and heading to the desk. I slumped against my chair while the twins let out a sigh of relief.

"Hey thanks for covering for us back there," one twin said.

"Yeah, we would've been toast if it wasn't for you," the other agreed.

"Who said I did it for you?" I mumbled bitterly. But they heard it. And when they did they froze.

"Hey just what is that suppose to mean?" Twin #1 said, sounding a bit ticked off.

I looked down. Hunching my shoulders, I brought my body in closer to me and hugged myself with one arm. I turned away from them, giving them, quite literally, the cold shoulder and refused to look at them.

"Just leave me alone."

And as if on cue, the bell sounded, causing everyone to take their seats for our first lesson.

A/N: Yeah, no much really happened here, but I'm just seeing if people will like my version of this. I know a lot of people really liked it when Ca-ru-te-ru was writing it, and I understand if some people are disappointed that it's been transfered to a different writer. So in short, I'll only continue this based on popular demand. If you peeps like where I'm going with this, I'll keep going. If not, then oh well. So review people! I accept anynomous ones too!

Til next time! PEACE! X3
