"Games! Games! I wanna play games!" chanted kaida as she ran into the arcade.

Kyran, Yukio, and rose followed in after her while the hosts stood outside the entrance

"An Arcade?" asked the twins.

"A place where commoners go to play games and eat food" explained kyoya as the hosts 'ooohed' in unison making Haruhi sweatdrop.

"Well, let's go inside and have fun the-" said Tamaki but was cut off by an ear piercing squeal.

the hosts ran in to see kaida being carried by an unknown teenager, however, kaida didn't seem to be in any type of trouble, in fact, she seemed more excited than when she went in.

"S-Staph! dat tickles!" kaida says as the unknown teenager blew raspberries on her stomach

"That's what you get for eating my donut!" the teen laughed and continued

The hosts watched in amazement as Kyran, Yukio, and rose seated at a table watching.

"Alright that's enough Bell, put her down, we have customers at the door," said a woman who was watching from behind a counter.

Bell Looked at the hosts and blushed a little in embarrassment "Oops sorry about that Eina!" Said bell as he set kaida down. He ruffled her hair and flashed a grin at her " To be continued" he told to kaida as he walked over to the hosts

"Welcome to Safe Space, a place where you cant let loose, play games and chow down!, I'm Bell, one of the workers here, nice to meet you!" Said Bell as he flashed a grin at the hosts

"Nice to meet to Bell! I'm Tamaki, king of the host club, and these are my hosts!" said Tamaki making the hosts sweatdrop. 

"King huh? well, we have a king here too! " said bell as he led the hosts to an empty booth

as the hosts sat down they were given a menu alongside a sheet that listed prices for tokens.

"A king, here? what are they king of?" asked Honey.

"King of Gaming of course! we have tournaments here once a month to see who's the best gamer in safe space!" said bell

"Well who won last month?" asked Haruhi.

Bell chuckled "Well, you walked in with her! the little donut thief"

The hosts looked to Kyran's table to see kaida picking up a bag of tokens. Beside her was a black box. Kaida opened the box to reveal a pair of gaming gloves that had pokeballs on them. After Kyran helped her put them on she grabbed her tokens and went off to find a game to play.

"You're kidding," said Hikaru

"She's the king?" said Kaoru

"Well, queen, if that's what she wants to be called," Said bell

"But she's so young!" yelled Tamaki 

"Well, that doesn't mean anything, if she's the King or Queen, it doesn't matter how old you are, it matters how much your love for gaming is!" said Bell.

"Bell come play game wit me!" yelled kaida from the other side of the arcade.

Bell grinned at the hosts."Well, looks like I'm needed elsewhere. since it's your first time here you get your first 20 tokens free!" said bell as he set a little bag on the host's table

"Have fun!" said bell as he ran off to go play with Kaida

The hosts stared at the tokens before exchanging glances

"Well, what should we do?" asked Honey

Haruhi stood up and grabbed the bag of tokens

"Play games of course, if Kaida and the others can have fun so can you guys. It doesn't matter that you're rich."

"It kinda does, well to me at least," said Kyoya

"Kyoya hush, Haruhi is right, Let's play some games!" said Tamaki as the host got up and looked for a game to play.

~Time skip~

Fifty minutes had past and the hosts had an array of prizes from the tickets they earned.

Suddenly there was a lot of commotion coming from the back of the arcade.

Tons of people were crowded around a game called 'DDR', including Kyran Yukio and Rose

"Whats going on here?" Haruhi asked one of the bystanders.

"That kid's about to beat the highest recorded on one of the highest songs!" the bystanders exclaimed as he pointed to a child who was none other than kaida.

"Stamp on the ground, Jump Jump Jump Jump!, Move it all around, Jumping all around!" Sang kaida as her feet were quick to follow the arrows on the screen with the pad below her.

When the song was over a silver 'S' was on the screen followed with the phrase 'New Highscore!'

"Yay! I did it!" kaida cheer and the people around her clapped for her.

Kaida put her name for the new high score and ran to kyran who picked her up.

"Didja see didja huh?" asked kaida as kyran patted her head.

"Yep, Awesome footwork," said Kyran as a small smile was on his face

"That was amazing!" said Haruhi as kaida looked her way.

Kaida blushed and showed a cheeky smile

Kyran set kaida down and she went straight for honey senpai 

"What did you think Honey?" asked kaida as she looked up at the blonde boy.

Honey smiled and put his hand on her head

"I think you did awesome Kaida~Chan!" said honey making kaida blush even more

Kaida held her rosy red cheeks with a smile.

'Awww she's so cute!'

'Look at her little smile!'

'so precious!'

"A-Awigato gozaimasu," said kaida as she hugged honey

"I think you did great as well kaida!" said Tamaki 

Kaida let go of honey and looked at Tamaki. Her smile turned into a frown as she ran away and hid behind Kyrans leg.

"a.....awigato gozaimasu," she said quietly, almost inaudible.

Tamaki went into his mobile emo corner ( now for just free.99 you can take your emo corner anywhere with the new Emo Corner Mobile!)

"Kaida we have ten minutes left, how about we play a crane game so you can take home a prize?" Said rose as she crouched down to kaida's level.

Kaida shifted her gaze to rose and nodded her head taking Rose's hand. Rose led Kaida away and Kyran and Yukio followed, leaving the host club with a sulking Tamaki.

"Get a grip senpai, you're the cause of that," said Haruhi as she and the host of the host went to go see kaida play.

*tiny time skip*

only five minutes have passed and rose couldn't win a single toy from the crane game. 

"told you this game was rigged," said Yukio as Kyran and Kaida stayed silent

Kyoya looked at kaida and found her staring intensely at the game, what he saw next surprised him.

Kaida's eyes looked glazed over and she was muttering to herself quietly. The change went as quick as it came and kaida looked like she was back to her usual self.

"I wanna try!" said kaida as rose stepped aside and let kaida put one of her own tokens in.

"Oni~ chan help me up I can't see," said kaida and Kyran picked her up by her armpits letting her see the crane game well.

Kaida stared intently at toy as she moved the joystick.

"She can't possibly win on her first try, can she?" asked Kaoru

"no, not a chance"

as the crane went down it looked like it didn't pick anything up.

"looks like you missed," said Yukio.

"I wasn't aiming for one toy," kaida said as a grin spread across her face

as the crane went up, it knocked over the mountain of toys in the machine causing the toy Kaida was looking at and another one to fall into the Winning spot.

'You Win!'

"Yay!" kaida cheered as she took the toys that she won

"H-how did she?!" yelled the twins as Yukio rolled his eyes

Kyoya wrote away in his notebook amused at what he saw.

'Interesting, very very interesting'

*time skip*

As the group was walking home Kaida started to walk slower and slower. Her eyes lidded as she yawned. Rose picked her up and stroked her hair as they continued to walk.

"Rose~neechan," said kaida

"Hmm?" asked Rose as she continued to walk

"Can you sing me my song pwease?" kaida asked

Rose blushed at the thought of singing in front of Yukio and kyran much less a group of hosts the barely know.

"n-not right now, wait till we get home," said rose

"pweeease?" asked kaida

"c'mon we won't tease, I don't think kyran would let me anyways," Yukio said grinning.

Rose sighed

'Let's go in the garden

you'll find something waiting,

right there where you left it lying upside down

when you finally find it 

you'll see how it's faded

the underside is lighter

 when you turn it around,

everything stays

right where you left it

everything stays

but it still changes

ever so lightly

daily and nightly

in little ways

when everything stays'

"Your voice is beautiful rose," said Haruhi 

rose blushed but smiled at Haruhi

"Thanks," said Rose as she looked at kaida to see she was sound asleep.

'What a Day'
