July 20 2007- Yesterday, got a new car (Toyota Sienna!) Cool!

I have almost finished rewriting all the stories and chapters of all my stories, but I will just post some up just for the hell of it and because my adoring fans have requested that I stop being a lazy ass and get on with it! Yay! I will post chapter 2 after this. Stay tuned!

The hoards of fan girls gathered around the small piece of stationary. It contained one sentence, but the fan girls were entranced and hypnotized by the pattern of words and letters. A few minutes later, one of their kind squeaked in a barely contained shriek. Another half an hour, 27 fainted in happiness and 68 of them gathered in a circle, the whispering of fan girls echoing in the fancy room.

He couldn't find it. He had looked everywhere and he STILL couldn't find it. Yes... even the girls' bathrooms and... Ugh... the French teachers' dirty laundry; how he got there, no one knew. Not even him.

'Let's face it' Hikaru thought, slumping against the third music rooms' wall. 'It might as well be in space.'

But that might be good, considering that...

'If anyone finds it, I'd be more screwed than the things holding this wall together'

Hikaru Hitachiin was convinced he was dead.

Kaoru was confused. Usually, Hikaru would go play seme/uke with him, but since Kyouya scheduled a decorating day today, the Host Club was cancelled. Now, his brother was staring at Jupiter and leaning against the wall like he had just run a 56704 Km Marathon.

"Hikaru?"

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiikaru?"

-poke- -poke-

"HIKARU!"

"Kaoru?" Hikaru finally noticed him. "I..."

As usual, Kaoru came to the same conclusion he always came up with, "Its Haruhi, isn't it?"

Hikaru looked up, totally clueless and stared at him. "Huh?"

"I said you're thinking about Haruhi, aren't you?" Kaoru looked at him expectantly.

"No"

"Then why?"

"Nothing"

"Tell me."

"No."

"Why?"

"I'm not gonna tell you, 'cause according to the human rights, I have a right to remain silent."

"But--"

"I was just thinking, okay?" His brother answered. "You don't need to know what it is... and it's not Haruhi."

"You're going to tell me soon." Kaoru threatened. Then, on a nicer note, he said, "Ok, well you need to help with the decorating."

Hikaru got up and got out the garlands of mistletoe, the poinsettias and the wreaths. Walking away with clouded eyes, he mindlessly stuck them up and sat back down in another corner much like Tamaki's, the word gloom hanging over his head.

Kaoru stared and then made his decision. He would find out what the hell was wrong with him and help. Even if he dies trying which was something he didn't want to resort to.

He was determined. Deadly determined.

The younger of the Hitachiin twins took out the ornaments and started decorating, while Kyouya and Tamaki got out the candy canes. They were looking around the room with shifty eyes, which meant that they were hiding something too... why was everybody hiding something from him?!

Mori and Honey ignored it all, filling out order forms for expensive cakes and sweets.

"Devil Cake!" cried Honey happily, being oblivious to or just ignoring the mood in the third music room. "With icing!"

Haruhi sighed. She couldn't make it to the Host club today.

Why was that?

Because she had a lot of homework to do. Being a commoner in a prestigious and highly academic school was hard. Even if the other students had failed, they would still have the money to maintain their presence at the academy, which sucked for her, because she wasn't rolling in money like all of them.

"Rich bastards" she sighed again.

Outside, it started snowing.
