Chapter 1- touch like ice
My name is Kori Kurayami and I've fallen in love with Kaoru Hitachiin. Like Nekozawa San, I too have been possessed by the darkness and joined the black magic club, but that's another story. I'm first year in class 1-B and I'll never forget that one time, before Halloween.
Flash back!
I was walking down the halls of the academy in my cloak and black wig. A group of bodies ran past me like I was nothing and I tripped and fell dropping my books and papers. Then he appeared from nothing and bent down to help me. "oh no it's alright." "it's no problem," he replied. "uh you wouldn't happen to be Kaoru would you?" he looked up to my face, "so you can tell us apart? Well you're one of the first," he smiled. At that moment we reached for the same paper and our hands touched, his jolted away, "woah your skins like ice!" he noticed! I felt a slight pink on my pale skin, "oh thank you, I've always had a slight chill." I couldn't see his face but I heard a chuckle, "well I've got to get to the host club now, maybe I'll see you there someday!" with that he ran off.
Flash back end
It was so noble. No ones ever been so unafraid of me! All my life people were worried I'd curse them, but other than the black magic group, he was the first to not run screaming! I felt shiny! If that makes any sense. I always thought to myself maybe he could like me! But then again maybe not. I'm with the occult, I love oparts! he's kinda normal, but then again he has a sense of taboo so I thought let's give it a try!
I went to his classroom one day only to find he and his brother surrounded by beautiful girls, what did I have against them... So I left. But not this time! No! With the help of the black magic club I was able to infiltrate the host club. I peeked out of the huge door we summoned and found a bright room! I couldn't go in there! No girls yet, they must not be open. I moved a little more into the room and they noticed me.
"Neko chan?" that's the boy Rika likes! ... He's tiny... But that bunny is so cute! "no it's too short to be Nekozawa?" Haruhi Fujioka friend to the Twins. I already did my research. Neither of the boys seemed to recognize me... I stepped out a little more, "I'm, uh hello, I'm Kuri Kurayami... And... Uhhh..." I was losing my train of though curse you light! "please help me not be afraid of the light anymore!" I took a pleading bow. This worked for neko! It'll work for me!
"you see, like Nekozawa I was cursed by the darkness, I hear you have a specialist. I would like you to please help me." the truth was I had no intention of joining with the light, hidden in my slave was a potion I've been working to perfect, and now it's complete! This is no ordinary potion, heh heh it's a classic love potion. Only it's made especially for, whoever may drink it, they will fall only in love with me. Sadly like all potions this one only lasts a week. Don't look at me like a witch, the facts are he would never love me on his own, so this had to be done! Still nothing? Well how about this, my natural chill has made me live in a cold sleep, cold sad lonely dreams of winter. I just want to feel the sun shine. Not the real one of course, I'm afraid, but a theoretical one sure.
"of course we shall help you," said Tamaki. Perfect I'm in! "Uh boss if you recall Nekozawa went right back to-" "silence you shady twins. The moment she entered the host club, it became our job to help her!" "sorry boss, we're not a social well being group, we're just a host club." the bond started to whine, "No no no! We're so much more than that! We're the protagonists! We have to help her! Uh you are a her right?" I felt pissed. "I mean of course you are, with the cloak and wig I couldn't tell. Now Kyoya please darken the room."
the room darkened to the point where I was comfortable. "hey this is kinda nice," I said. I took off my cloak and set it on a nearby chair. Then I took off my wig letting by blue eyes peer through my short pinkish hair. "oh Ku chan looks so cute." called out Honny. "oh no I'm not! Rika's the cute one! Call her cute!" there god, are you proud of me? I hope this makes up for my crime of love. "umm okay? Come on Taka lets sit down with some cake!" the tall one nodded. Mori's not my type but I could totally see myself as his friend!
The floor started to shake, what the? "sorry guys, getting repairs done, I'm finally out!" Renge Hosha... Hoshi... Hoshicalla... Otaku Girl! Oh god in heaven, no one told me about this, I didn't know I'd have to deal with this air head! Ehhh, IT'S FOR LOVE! "hello there I'm sure you know who I am! Let's get this started!" ... Belsoneff protect me...
Three hours later of flashlights, terms I could no longer use, and beats on the head with folded paper... Apparently this was no longer training for the sunlight, this was straight up being a normal girl... Which I could never be, but she's persistent. "next we're gonna fix your wardrobe. I'm positive you own nothing but black. Most girls like pink, but them again with your hair... Actually scratch that. Let's fix your hair!" she started feeling it up. "uh guys, I just don't wanna have to wear a cloak anymore?" the twins came up with their equipment an strapped me to a chair. "NO NO! PLEASE DON'T SWEENY TOD ME!" they stared at me for a second, "it's just a hair cut?" ... "oh... Uhhh yeah my hairs kinda short so there's not much-" they shut my mouth with tape and started their work. This is all for love, I kept telling myself... But right now... This is crappy. Wait!
I saw two cups of tea in arms reach! I quietly chanted a spell on my bonds and they were loosened. I ever so slowly inched my arm to the cups... Wait who's is who's? Uh uh, Hikaru was on my left so the cup on the right is Kaoru's? Might as well. I put my wrist up so the liquid could mix with the tea. "Finished!" they proudly announced. I looked in a mirror. It actually looked pretty good. It was just above my shoulders and still as straight as ever, but they swept my hair to one side and used a yellow chibi star pin to hold it back. My Ivey cheeks were a slight pink color now and my makeup was subtle bit noticeable. I looked... Normal?
"there now you're dateable!" Renge called. "uh remember that's not what I came here for?" I replied. The twins sipped their tea. Kaoru looked over to me, "yeah you look good." did it work? "yeah... Kuri, would you like to go on a date with me?" ... HIKARU!
