Hey, guys! So, this is one I've been working on for a little while.

So, one of my reviewers (I-Fallen-Angel-I) gave me the idea that Kyoya should have a girlfriend, because it seemed that everyone else around him was lonely. So I thought, "Great! But I have no OC..." And then she made her own OC and let me use it! So, here we are, Kyoya's adventures in Boston with this new girl that he meets!

I hope you all enjoy it!

Chapter 1

Kyoya sighed as he walked down the street, his hands in his pockets as he dodged the people walking in the opposite direction and followed those moving in the same direction as he did.

Today, he was alone. Tamaki had decided to drag Haruhi down to New York for a shopping day out, whilst Mori and Hunny had decided to go sightseeing in the same state. This left him pretty much alone in Boston, so he decided to go for a walk.

He smiled as he felt the crisp October breeze hit him when he moved away from the large crowds, ruffling through his hair.

He loved Boston. The whole experience – the living alone (even though he was with his friends), being free to do what he felt like doing – was exhilarating to him. It was definitely something he'd choose to do again if he had the chance. For once, the Ootori boy didn't need to do anything to impress anyone or hold up the Ootori name; he could just do what he wanted.

He was just walking past some smaller stores when something caught his eye.

It was getting closer and closer to Halloween, meaning that many stores were selling costumes and face masks and makeup. This particular store, which he had stopped in front of, was filled with them.

Kyoya chuckled. If the twins were here, they'd be having a field day.

The twins… Of course, those two had decided to stay back in Japan, mainly because Hikaru had wanted to stay with his girlfriend Katie. Kaoru had just tagged along, although Kyoya had a feeling that his staying had something to do with Katie's geeky and annoying best friend…

He walked into the store, smiling slightly when a little bell rung above the door.

From what he had seen outside, the store was, in fact, filled with stuff for Halloween. There were costumes hung up everywhere, and masks sat on shelves. At the back of the store, near the counter, there was a stand covered in makeup to try on and wear.

Kyoya looked around, heading to one of the racks of clothes. He didn't really go clothes shopping – his clothes were usually bought for him by his sister or by the twins when they were cos-playing – so this was quite new to him.

As he went through the clothes, he managed to overhear some of the conversation going on around him. The majority of them seemed to be about getting ready for Halloween, although one of them seemed to be about a terrible employee…

He was just about to turn to eavesdrop on the conversation when he was walked into, causing him to fall into the rack of clothes that he had been looking through not long before. He hadn't failed to notice that someone had fallen on top of him, and that there was a box filled with random makeup items spilled all over the floor. He also realized that the clothes rack had collapsed under their combined weighs, meaning that the costumes were all splayed out on the floor.

Suddenly, the person lying on top of him shot up, their face bright red from embarrassment. "I-I-I'm so sorry!" they apologized profusely.

Kyoya looked up at them, realising the person was female. She looked around 5 feet 7 ½ inches tall, with long curly brown hair that seemed to have a faint blonde streak in it. Her eyes were a bright blue, and her curly hair was tied up into a messy ponytail. Her cheeks were tinted a faint pink, although that was probably due to the fact that she'd fallen on top of him.

"It's quite alright, I suppose," he told her as he pulled himself to his feet, brushing himself down. When he looked back up at the girl, he noticed she was staring at him, still blushing slightly. "Are you alright?"

She blinked, her blush deepening. "Uh… y-yes!" she squeaked before kneeling down to put the items she had dropped back into the box.

Kyoya frowned slightly before kneeling down to help her. Out of courtesy, of course. In due time, he knew he would reap a benefit from this… whether it was for him or for her, he didn't know.

She looked up at him in confusion. "Y-you don't have to help me…" she stammered.

He just looked up at her. "Is it not a courtesy?" he asked.

"W-well—"

"Miss Gallon!"

The girl winced, quickly putting everything into the box and pulling it away from Kyoya before he could speak. She stood and turned, her eyes widening when she came face-to-face with her manager. "Y-yes, m-ma'am?"

The woman was short and round, with short dark hair and green eyes that were probably more used to being nice than being angry. At that moment, she was glaring at the girl. "What have I told you about injuring customers?"

"I-I…" the girl started.

Kyoya stood. "It's quite alright, ma'am. No harm was done," he told the manager with a convincing smile. "I am quite alright."

The manager stared at Kyoya. "I apologise for my employee's clumsiness. She hasn't learned how to control it yet." She glared slightly at the girl out of the corner of her eye.

'Miss Gallon' blushed and shrunk back shyly. "I said I was sorry…" she muttered quietly.

"There is no need to blame her," Kyoya said. "I am perfectly fine."

The manager nodded – she wasn't exactly prepared to offer Kyoya the whole store in exchange for his forgiveness. "If you say so, sir…" She turned to the girl. "I expect you to clean this all up, Miss Gallon."

The girl nodded quickly. "Y-yes ma'am!" she said before running off to put the box away.

The manager nodded, smiling slightly, before turning to Kyoya to speak to him and try to apologise again.

But he was already gone.

Kyoya sighed as he stood in the kitchen of his, Hunny's and Mori's shared apartment. He was standing in front of the opened fridge doors, but he wasn't even looking through the food available in the fridge. That was partially due to the fact that half of the fridge was filled with cake that wouldn't really satisfy his appetite, but it was also due to the fact that he was thinking deeply.

His visit to the costume shop had been quite eventful. Because of that visit, he had an overwhelming sense of nostalgia whenever he thought of his home in Japan.

But that was not what stood out to him.

No, what stood out to him were the eyes of the girl that had oh-so-gracefully bumped into him at the store, sending them crashing into the rack of costumes. Her eyes were a clear blue, much like the Mediterranean on a summer day in Greece or Spain. What confused Kyoya most was the fact that he kept remembering her eyes, rather than her name.

Wait, he didn't even know her name.

He sighed.

Just then, the front door to the apartment opened, and footsteps alerted Kyoya of the arrival of his friends.

"Kyo-chan!"

Yep, definitely his friends.

Kyoya shut the fridge door and turned just in time to see Hunny step into the kitchen.

"There you are, Kyo-chan!" He noticed how Kyoya was standing by the fridge. "Were you going to have some cake?"

Kyoya smiled softly. "Not really… would you like me to have some?"

Hunny shook his head, knowing Kyoya's dislike for sweet things. "No thank you. I'm going to have some with Takashi!" He skipped to the fridge and pulled out a large cake before leaving the room.

Kyoya couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped him as he reached into the fridge and ended up pulling out a sandwich.

Ever since they had moved to Boston, Kyoya had changed. Not very much, as his mind still seemed to revolve quite a bit around business and benefits, but he seemed to be a lot more relaxed and more playful around the others – even to the extent of playing a small prank on Tamaki at one time. The move to Boston had been like liberation to him, and he was going to take full advantage of it.

"Kyoya! Mon ami!"

He paused as he reached the living room, sighing when he heard the all-too-familiar call. "What are you doing here?" he asked exasperatedly, although there was a small smile on his face.

Tamaki grinned. "Why, I came to see my best friend, of course!" At Kyoya's doubting look, he elaborated. "And, I came to give you your gift!"

"Gift?" Kyoya was already dreading what Tamaki had got him, considering he knew what the blonde's definition of 'gift' was. "What did you get me?"

Tamaki's grin widened, if that was even possible. "Why, a costume for Halloween, of course!"

If the look on Kyoya's face wasn't enough to show Tamaki that he wasn't impressed, then the door that was slammed shut in his face minutes later definitely did the trick.

Kyoya sighed as he looked down at what he wore. "Must I wear this?" he asked, his voice sounding quite childish to show his distaste.

Tamaki nodded as he fixed his own costume, righting his hair and his shirt. "Of course! It's Halloween! It's an American custom to dress up on the 31st of October and go out trick-or-treating! And, as we are staying in America, we must follow their customs!"

Kyoya sighed. "But must I wear this?" He was wearing a Captain Jack Sparrow cosplay, complete with the hat and the boots. He had a wig on to make his hair look longer, and Tamaki had been kind enough to draw on a beard and moustache in felt-tip pen whilst he had been sleeping.

"Tamaki has been obsessed with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' for the past week," Haruhi sighed. "When he saw the costume, he fell in love with it."

"Then why doesn't the moron wear it?" he muttered sourly, taking one last look at himself before giving up and leaving the room.

Tamaki frowned. "Where are you going, Kyoya?"

"I'd rather wear that stupid Harry Potter outfit!"

About an hour later, the group of three (because Hunny and Mori were out trick-or-treating on their own) were out on the evening streets of Boston, going trick-or-treating in the residential area.

As he had said, Kyoya had changed into the Harry Potter cosplay. He had managed to wash the fake beard and moustache off his face and had, instead, let Tamaki draw a small lightning bolt on his forehead. He was now wearing the Hogwarts uniform, along with a Gryffindor scarf and tie. He felt far more comfortable in this cosplay, seeing as he was nothing like Captain Jack Sparrow – personality or otherwise.

Tamaki was dressed as Harry's best friend, Ron Weasley, complete with a red wig to make him look like the character. He, also, was dressed in the Hogwarts uniform, with a Gryffindor tie and a scarf around his neck. He smiled down at his girlfriend, Haruhi, as they headed down the street.

Haruhi, also, was dressed as a Harry Potter character – Hermoine Granger to be exact. She wore a curly wig, and was wearing the Hogwarts' girls uniform with the Gryffindor scarf. She smiled up at Tamaki in return as they walked together. "What's so funny?"

Tamaki shrugged. "Oh, it's nothing." He turned to Kyoya, hugging the younger male tightly. "Isn't this fun?!" he exclaimed, nearly swinging the boy around in his excitedment. "The lights, the costumes… this whole tradition is so amazing!"

"Let go of me, you idiot!" Kyoya grumbled, pushing himself out of Tamaki's grip. "Only you would force others, such as me, to suffer in your pleasure."

Tamaki pouted before retreating to his 'emo-corner', which happened to be next to a group of pumpkins on someone's front yard.

Haruhi sighed exasperatedly. "Tamaki… people are staring…" she pointed out as she walked over to him, trying to ignore the stared of all of the children and their parents.

Kyoya sighed and shoved his hands into his pockets, shaking his head at the older blonde. "You moron…" he muttered.

Suddenly, Kyoya found himself stumbling backwards from the force of someone knocking into him, and he ended up grabbing onto this person to make sure that he didn't fall.

"Meep!" the person squeaked as they grabbed onto him for support. They were wearing a Super Mario cosplay, dressed as Mario from the red hat with the 'M' on it down to the blue dungarees and red t-shirt. They even had the black boots to complete the outfit.

"Are you alright?" Kyoya asked once they had steadied.

The person looked up at him, and Kyoya's eyes widened when he saw the familiar blue eyes.

"Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry, sir! I didn't mean to bump into you! It was an accident – honest!" the girl rambled, her face bright red as she apologized profusely.

Kyoya couldn't help the small smile that appeared on his face, although he felt that it was more out of politeness than anything. "It's quite alright, ma'am. I'm fine."

The girl blinked before recognition filled her eyes. "Oh, it's you! The guy I bumped into at the store!" She blushed. "Sorry again about that…"

"It's fine. No harm was done." He let go of her and stepped back slightly. "I never did quite catch your full name, Miss Gallon."

She blinked in slight confusion, suddenly feeling wary. "H-how did you know my surname?" she asked suspiciously.

"I have my methods." He held out his hand to shake as his glasses glinted in the streetlights. "I am Kyoya Ootori. I believe hand-shaking is an American custom, is it not?"

A small smile spread across her face as she shook his hand. "Oh, you're a sneaky type. I see. Well, I'm Jenna Gallon, although you already knew my surname."

Kyoya nodded. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Gallon."

"Please, call me 'Jenna'," she corrected. "Anyway… are you alone, Kyoya? I mean, it's no fun trick-or-treating alone…"

Kyoya glanced over at where Tamaki and Haruhi were. "I am not exactly alone…"

Jenna looked over at Tamaki and Haruhi. "Oh… you're with the weirdo… well, do you—" She shook her head, stopping herself. "Never mind. Will I see you around, then? Or are you just on holiday here?"

Kyoya shook his head. "I am actually a foreign exchange student here at one of the high schools… I will be here for the next year or so."

"Oh, cool! Maybe we should get together sometime and hang out?" At the look on his face, she smiled and elaborated. "I like making new friends, and you seem interesting enough."

He smiled slightly. "Well, you seem interesting yourself, Jenna. Perhaps we shall meet up again?"

"Perhaps." She turned when she heard someone call out her name. "Hey, I've got to go…" she told him.

Kyoya nodded. "Alright, Jenna."

"See you whenever!" she called out to him as she ran over to her friends.

He smiled slightly before heading over to Haruhi and Tamaki. "What a strange girl," he commented quietly to himself.

So... what do you think so far?

Oh, and thank you to LissyCreator for telling me about my mistake!
