Chapter One

Not Over Yet

Chinatsu looked around the empty room. She had received a note instructing her to meet here for a possible ally. Risky, she knew, but if it was for a possible ally, she would do anything. Anything to take down the witch, she thought bitterly.

Chinatsu shivered against the cold of the room. "They need to turn off the AC," she muttered to herself.

"I suppose so," a eerie female voice said behind her.

Abruptly, Chinatsu spun around to find a tall, thin figure in the doorway. She had long black hair and mesmerizing green eyes. "Are you the ally?" she asked.

"No small talk?" the archangel mocked. "None?"

Chinatsu clenched her fists. She was too tired for this. "Are you or not?"

The archangel studied Chinatsu for some time before replying, "Yes I am. I also want revenge on the Fujioka girl and Daichi."

"Why?" Chinatsu asked. "What have they done for you?"

The archangel shrugged. "The boy promised me a show and I wasn't given one. I will get one even if I must make it myself."

"Archangels rarely deign down from their resting place, why are you really here?" Chinatsu continued.

The archangel sighed. "I was bored. Century after century, millennia after millennia, nothing ever happens."

Chinatsu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "So will you assist me?"

"No," the archangel replied simply.

Chinatsu adjusted quickly to the archangel's surprising answer. "Then why bring me here?" she asked coldly. "To kill me?"

"No," again the archangel answered. "I wanted to tell you to stay out of my way."

"Out of your way?" Chinatsu asked incredulously. "Fat chance. I want the girl to suffer just as much as you do, if not more."

The archangel examined Chinatsu with cold green eyes, as if staring into her soul. "I see you do, but not for reasons of revenge. They are of jealousy."

"What?" Chinatsu asked, cheeks flushing red.

"Nothing, nothing," she answered distractedly.

Chinatsu raised her chin and willed the blush from her cheeks. "You better stay out of my way. I will make the girl and Daichi suffer. Not you."

"Yes, I suppose you will try," the archangel answered haphazardly. She glanced back at Chinatsu and said, "The light mage, Chinatsu. Open and easy to read, emotions written across your face. Your emotions get in the way of your path for revenge."

Chinatsu felt anger rise up within her. "What do you know?" she said indignantly.

"Everything." The archangel blinked. "I know everything about you, Daichi, even the Fujioka girl."

"Highly doubtful," Chinatsu mumbled.

In response, the archangel grinned. "I'd suppose you would think that."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Chinatsu asked.

"Oh that? Nothing, nothing for you to worry your pretty little head about."

That's it, Chinatsu thought. "If you do not wish for my aide, I will be going."

Just as Chinatsu was about to leave, the archangel said sweeping an arm out to her, "That's it? No questions for me?"

Chinatsu stopped in the doorway. "Well if you know everything about me, give me the courtesy to know your name."

The archangel grinned. "Chou."

…..TIME SKIP…..

Daichi felt his consciousness return to him slowly. Eventually, his eyes fluttered open and he found himself looking up at a light. A throbbing pounded in his head and he groaned, putting a hand to it.

"He's awake!" a familiar voice shouted.

Daichi blinked as his vision focused on Haruhi who was leaning over him. "Hey, Daichi. How are you feeling?"

"Terrible headache," he muttered. "What happened?"

Haruhi leaned backward and let Daichi sit up. Once sitting up on the couch, he saw the entire host club, Nekozawa, and Renge standing around the area. Haruhi sat on the couch across from Daichi, soon joined by Mori. Mori wrapped a protective arm around Haruhi and glared at Daichi.

Ignoring her boyfriend's actions, Haruhi explained, "The archangel took your powers back. It made you pass out."

The memories flooded back to Daichi. The pain, the agony more like it. The power being ripped from his body, none too lightly. He could still feel the anger the archangel had put off. "She's angry," Daichi said.

"Who?" one of the twins asked, sitting next to Haruhi. The other twin remained standing next to Renge, not even glancing at the other.

"The archangel," Daichi muttered. "I promised her a show and she didn't get one. Now she's angry."

Haruhi shrugged. "What can she do?"

"A lot," Renge interrupted. "Haven't you ever heard of the archangel's wrath? She can make our lives a living hell."

"Nonsense!" Tamaki shouted. "I will protect my daughter and our new bad-turned-good neighbor!"

Haruhi ignored Tamaki and said, "Welcome to the host club. Ignore Tamaki and you'll be fine."

Daichi grinned at Haruhi and yawned. "How long was I out?"

"A day or so," Kyoya answered coolly.

"A day?" Daichi choked out, surprised.

Haruhi nodded. "You had us worried."

"Some more than others," the twin beside Renge muttered.

With a quick elbow jab from Renge, he shut up.

Daichi nodded and Hani skipped over from the kitchenette, a plate in his hand. "Here, Dai-kun!" Hani set the plate full of food down in front of Daichi.

Daichi's eyes widened in surprise before muttering, "Thank you, Hani."

Hani nodded before joining Mori on the couch opposite of Daichi. Daichi dug into the food once he noticed his ravenous appetite. Just when Daichi was getting to the eggs, the twin beside Renge said, "Renge and I kinda have something to say."

All pairs of eyes turned to them curiously except the other twin. "Which one are you again?" Daichi asked through a mouthful of food.

"Kaoru," the twin beside Renge said dryly.

Hani bounced in his seat. "What's your announcement?"

"We're dating," Renge said quickly and Kaoru took her hand in his.

The room erupted with congratulations.

Upset, Hikaru got up and stormed out of the room. "What's wrong with him?" Haruhi asked obliviously.

….Kaoru's Flashback…

"Hikaru," Kaoru called into their bedroom. "I need to talk to you about something."

"Just a second," Hikaru's voice called from the closet. Kaoru walked to the edge of their bed and sat, his knee shaking up and down in nervousness. Hikaru emerged from the door to the closet with an armful of clothing and patterns. He set it down on his desk before sitting beside Kaoru on the bed. "What's up?"

Kaoru took a deep breath. "You remember Renge?"

"Of course," Hikaru laughed. He noticed Kaoru's bouncing leg for the first time. He put a hand on it, trying to slow it. In response, Kaoru's other leg started to bounce. "What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

"Nothing, it's just…" Kaoru trailed off.

"What?" Hikaru asked, concern in his eyes.

Kaoru took a deep breath before blurting, "We're dating!"

Hikaru's eyes went wide and he removed his hand. "You and Renge?" he asked emotionlessly.

Kaoru nodded cautiously, not daring to say anything.

Hikaru took a deep breath and looked at the window. "Why?"

"Because we like each other…" Kaoru answered slowly.

Hikaru shook his head. "But haven't we always been enough for each other?"

Kaoru sighed and put a hand on his brother's shoulder. Hikaru knocked it away but Kaoru continued, "We're growing up, Hikaru. We need more people in our lives. We're not kids anymore."

Hikaru took a shaky breath. "But-"

"Hikaru," Kaoru said. "If you don't want me to date her, I won't."

Hikaru said nothing for a long time. Just when Kaoru was beginning to debate leaving him alone, Hikaru asked, "Does she make you happy?"

"What?" Kaoru asked confused.

"Does she make you happy?" Hikaru asked, turning to face his brother.

Kaoru nodded slowly, unable to read the emotion in his brother's eyes.

Hikaru exhaled roughly. "Then you should date her."

"But you're not happy-"

"That doesn't matter. As long as you're happy, I'm happy." Hikaru took a deep breath. "I'll get used to it."

"You sure?" Kaoru asked cautiously, unwilling to get his hopes up only to have them crushed.

Hikaru nodded. "I'm sure."

Kaoru leapt to his feet and hugged his brother. "Thank you so much Hikaru! I'm going to call Renge right now!"

Hikaru watched as his brother ran from the room, nearly giggling with happiness. Hikaru sighed wearily and muttered, "As long as Kaoru's happy, I'm happy. Even if I don't like it, I will pretend to for Kaoru."
