I looked at the letter in front of me, my eyes full of wonder.
Dear Ms. Primrose Tsukishiro,
I am pleased to inform you of your acceptance into Ouran High School with a full-ride scholarship. I hope that you would meet with me the day before the semester to discuss business matters pertaining to the Scholarship.
I would also be pleased if you could bring your parents along.
With best wishes,
Suoh Yuzuru
Chairman of the School Board for Ouran Academy
I've read, and re-read the letter. I stood at the gates even now, with the letter clutched in my hands. The gates opened up as I pushed lightly, and the guards came over, asking me to state my business on the grounds. "I am here for a meeting with Chairman Suoh over the Ouran Scholarship I have received, as per his request."
"Name, and proof of appointment," I pulled out my id, and the letter. I handed both to him. He read the letter, and did a background check, I was texted over it. I rolled my eyes and texted back that my other identity was to remain private, but the rest can be known. I got the confirmation text, and I texted the word needed. The guard cleared me a moment or two later. "Would you like a guide in?"
"I would, if it is not too much trouble," The guard nodded and was about to escort me up when a limo pulled up.
"Suoh-sama, would you like to escort this young lady to the chairman, since I was informed of your visit?" The guard was quick to keep his post on the perimeter. I sighed, before turning to the young man who might take me up. I was faced with a blond-haired, violet-eyed young man, around my apparent age, 17, and at the height of 5'11".
"It would be my honor to escort this lovely Hime." He bowed to me. "Where is it that you wish to go?"
"If you do not mind showing me the way, I am trying to get to Chairman Suoh's office." I smiled pleasantly at him, curtising slightly.
"Of course, Hime." Suoh started to walk away, his hand motioning for me to follow. I trailed quietly behind him. It was a quiet affair, travelling to the Chairman's office. When we arrived at the door, Suoh stopped and looked at me. "Here we are, Hime. I have some business in another section of the school, so if you need to leave and want a guide out I'll come and escort you out."
"Thank you, Suoh-san." I bowed slightly. I knocked on the door after Suoh had turned the corner. I heard a muffled enter, and I did so. "Chairman Suoh, it is a pleasure to meet you." I said pleasantly, smiling softly.
"As it is a pleasure to meet you, Tsukishiro-chan." Chairman Suoh was a brown haired and brown eyed man. He stood around 5'8" in height. "I hope the flight wasn't hard on you."
"It was not, but thank you for your concern." I stepped closer. "You wished to discuss the terms of the Scholarship with me?"
"Yes. I have a few things, which I approved with the Board first to offer: A, you follow the usual terms which is to not miss any days, and to be at the top of your class, as being the top female in class. B, you offer a discounted access of your company's working. C, you create a mixture of the two which would be reviewed."
"Oh? So you know of the company I own?" I asked. Suoh-san nodded. "Alright I will go with C. I will cover the students and staffs files, but general academic plans will be put on a lower level of security. I do have to be out on some days of the month. So I need automatic excuses for those days. It is usually the 1st, 10th, 15th, and 25th of each month. I will inform you of any changes that may occur. There is a monthly meeting on the 25th that I have to attend. the rest are maintenance days for the system." I paused to catch my breath. "Also my file must not say anything about me being in the company if it can be helped. As for academics, I will be retaining the top five. I would prefer wearing my own clothing, but I can afford the uniforms, I actually spotted one that my twin and I will like."
"I see. Anything else that you have to add?" He asked.
"Why we do have to discuss pricing and what level of security you and the board would like the files on. Also, the entire system goes down on maintenance days." My eyes glimmered with mirth.
"Alright." He sat forward, and I pulled out my laptop.
"This will take a few seconds to pull up." I pulled up the numbers and the plans that go along with them. "These prices are as they stand currently, no discount. Along with the plans in order. If you like I can also pull up the details of each plan, which I have in a pamphlet in my bag." I turned the laptop, after logging out of my system. "Also, I logged out of my system so you can't snoop around it."
"Trust issues?" Chairman Suoh asked.
"Yes. Long story short: someone tried to steal information on me and tried to transfer my company to their name." I grumbled for a moment.
"I see. This Black Murder plan is the priciest, why?" He chuckled at the name, but returned to business shortly after.
"It is the strongest security, plus an entire server dedicated to just the files that you want, it won't clash with another's files. Well, the files won't clash anyways, but space won't be an issue is the main point." I explained. "If you send Bi-Weekly updates of the files it will be automatically updated, and the information will exist until the day you stop services, at which time I will send you every file that I have received back, then do a hard wipe of all the files. That is why it is called Black Murder."
"The defence kills the computers that are attacking as well?" He asked. I simply nodded. "How much of a discount would we be getting?"
"Everything will be twenty percent off the stated price, except for Black Murder. That plan will only be ten percent off than it's stated price." I stood, handing him my card, and a pamphlet. "There is one thing that you might want to tell the board as well. If you sign up, and back out before the end of the semester. I will not release the files until the end of the semester, and it will have to be paid as if services are continued until the time of the files' return. I will not change that." My voice had a hardened edge.
"Of course, Tsukishiro-chan. I will bring this up with the board. Also, we don't take kindly to threats."
"I'm not making threats. I'm making promises. It has been how I've done things, and I've caught your interest, no?" I smiled happily. "As much as I would love to debate threats, promises and the difference between them. I have another appointment to make before the end of the day. Have a pleasant, and restful day, Chairman Suoh." I left as the younger Suoh was just about to knock. "Have a pleasant day, Suoh-san." I moved around him.
"Hime, wait." Suoh-san called out to me. I turned and faced him.
"Yes?" I asked him.
"Would you grace us with your presence after school tomorrow in Music Room III?" He held out a card with a white rose on it. "You can enter before opening if you wish."
"Thank you for the invitation." I took the card and placed it in my wallet. I waved, walking away. "See you later, Suoh-san."
,..,
"Ootori-san, you wish to have your company's information on Calico Corp's servers?" I asked, shock on my face in the slightest amounts.
"Yes. I'd also like to meet the president of the company at some point. I heard that she was looking for a link with any other company. I want to add my company's name to that list." He spoke, and gave me pointed looks.
"I'll talk with her about it, but there was an implied note that not all companies will make the cut." I gave him a pointed look. "Now what information are you wishing to be covered on what level of security?"
,..,
He and I talked for an hour and left for lunch. I nodded at the cafeteria worker and watched as the healthy foods were put on my plate. I carried it over to a dark corner, and pulled out my laptop. I was joined by a boy around my age. I nodded to him, but continued my work. His frames glinted as he nodded in turn. I closed my laptop after a few minutes. "Your name? I'm Primrose Tsukishiro before you can ask."
"Kyouya Ootori." He spoke without turning to me, his hair blending into the shadows.
"See you in class, Ootori-kun." I waved, and packed my belongings up.
"Tsukishiro-san." He stopped me before I could step away. "What did you mean I would see you in class?"
"Did you not hear rumors of a new student coming?" I questioned him. His glasses masked his eyes for a moment. I simply smiled. "I thought so. I'll see you tomorrow."
I walked away, and left for the day. My phone ringed, which wasn't often, and I didn't recognise the number. "Moshi-Moshi."
"Tsukishiro-san, I wish to extend my hand in apologies. My father handed me this number to reach you by." I didn't recognise the voice.
"Who is it?" My voice was professional, but impatent.
"Kyouya Ootori." His reply.
"Ootori-kun, I must advise you that I do not talk on the phone often, so if you wish to tell me something that is non-threatening, then do so by texting me. Business Partners need to be able to reach me at a moment's notice, and you are halting such abilities." A slight hiss entering my voice.
"My father assigned me as the bridge between our companies." He kept a calm voice. "I was sure he would have informed you of such."
"I was not informed, as such is my reaction. Goodbye for now, Ootori-kun." I hung up before he could respond. I got onto my motorcycle, revving the engine, and enjoying it's silent vibrations. I put it into second gear and shot out of there, heading into the apartments that I lived in. I locked my bike down, and headed up to my apartment. I passed a woman on her way out, "Hey Ranka! Have a good day at work!" (A/N: HINT HINT!) I opened my apartment and closed the door, I pressed the lights on in my apartment, and looked at my computers. I sighed and booted them up.
,..,
I woke up at six the next morning, and sighed. I looked to see if there were any texts, and saw one.
'You might not be up yet. I will be calling at 6:15 AM. -Kyouya Ootori'
'I'm up. Call now.' I texted back. My phone rang a moment later.
"Ootori. What do you need?" I spoke sharply, and put the phone on speaker as I changed clothes.
"I just wanted to say good morning, did I interrupt something?" His voice was coated with sleep, but his voice was more awake than mine.
"Yea. My morning routine." I pulled on my coat, "Are you calling over something important?"
"Yea, I'm outside. My dad said I should give you a lift after the stunt I pulled yesterday to make it up to you." He sighed.
"Go ahead without me. I have a friend that I'm taking to school on my motorcycle." I replied, the coffee I had kicking in. "Unless you can have someone bring it behind us?"
"No."
"I didn't think so. You can come up for some coffee." I offered.
"No, I already have some."
"Ok. Drive away then Ootori-kun."
"See you in class."
"Bye." I hung up. I looked at the clock; it read 6:09. I opened the door as the Limo pulled away, with my Yamaha in tow. I growled and used my natural strength to pounce onto my bike, getting it off the back of the limo. My black jeans, and black sleeveless turtle-neck soaking up the sun. I watched as Ootori's eyes widened in shock. I revved the engine and waited for Haruhi to close my door, and to get my keys. I smiled at her. "Get on."
"Is it safe?" She asked, her messy brown hair, and brown eyes looking rushed.
"I have been riding without a helmet for 3 years, Haruhi. I know what I'm doing. Only thing you need to worry about is keeping your spine aligned with mine. If I lean left, you follow me. If I lean right, you do the same thing." I looked at her. I got up, and pulled open the under-seat compartment. A black helmet was revealed. I took both our bags and gave her the helmet. She put it on, and I got on. "Get on, Haru." She mimicked me and clasped my waist. I revved the engine.
,..,
"That was scary, Rose." Haruhi got off as I had parked in the student's lot. I opened the underseat compartment. She gave me the helmet and took her bag. "See you after school."
"See you after school, Haru!" I ran off to my classroom 2-A. I spoke to the teacher, and sat down.
They didn't want me to give my name out yet, so I waited. Kyouya entered the class, and spotted me, but I was sitting in the darkest corner, along with Nekozawa. I giggled softly as he brought out Beelzenef. I smiled and moved out of the corner to talk with the teacher again, but instead I saw Kyoya, my smile vanished to a neutral face.
"Rose-san, do you hate Kyouya-kun?" I turned back to Nekozawa as he spoke to me.
"I don't hate him per-se, but there is no like either." I smiled softly. "Why do you ask, Umehito-kun?"
"You're smile left, and your aura darkened for a moment." He spoke to me quietly.
"It'll be fine, Umehito-kun." I smiled at him. "After all, I am of darker origins than you know." I giggled again.
"Really?" He perked up at the sound of my voice becoming creepy and smoother than silk.
"Yes, perhaps I will show you at one point. It will make you fall to your knees." I whispered in his ear. I chuckled as my hint clicked in his mind.
"If you need anything, come to me, My Mistress." He bowed low to me.
"At school, do not show this behavior it will make things hard on me." I brought his chin, so that he could look into my eyes.
"Yes, my Mistress." He rose as Kyouya tried to approach to hear what was said.
"What do you want, Ootori-kun?" I spoke sharply.
"I just wanted to extend an invitation to a trip that we, the Host Club, will be taking later on this year." He gave me a polite smile.
"Where to?"
"One of my families health resorts. The Tropical Aqua Garden." He handed me a piece of paper.
"I assume that this is the parking pass, and the name I should use to get in?"
"Parking Pass?" He asked, his eyebrow lifting in question.
"I am driving myself there, or at least I'd prefer to do so." I gave him a dark look.
"The club will be riding together; I do hope that you can join us." Kyouya spoke politely, his glasses glinting in the light.
"If you want me to ride in the limo with you, my twin is coming~" I chuckled, my black coat shifting as I moved my weight to my left foot.
"Then please bring her with you at promptly 3:10 at the southern gates, or you will have to come on your bike alone." He smirked, pushing his glasses up.
I simply texted my sister to be there. "Done, and I do hope you will drop me off back here, though Haru will need a ride home, unless she walks… Hmmm..."
I watched as the teacher came up to the board and I walked to the front, sticking to the shadows until I needed to come out. I was going to have fun watching the guys blush at me with this. I broke into a sweet smile that carries to my eyes, "My name is Primrose Tsukishiro; I'm 17, and a proud half of a twin pair. Any questions?"
A hand shot up before I could even blink, "Are you single?"
I blinked, then a giggle spilled out. "Of course I am, but that doesn't mean I would like to change my relationship status."
The guy who asked the question, along with a few others started to sulk slightly.
"Do you have any hobbies?" A girl spoke this time, but she was giving off a better than you vibe.
I wanted to puke. "I have quite a few… Lets see…. There is sewing, crocheting, knitting, flower arranging, software programming, hand to hand combat, kendo, business relations and taking out hackers one by one." I paused.
"Did you move here from another country?" This girl asked.
"I'm afraid not, dearie. My family has been around for many many generations." I smiled at the history that I could remember of my clan.
"How did you afford getting in this class? You don't look like you can." She sneered.
"I am waiting on the uniform, as it is my first day. Also I'm not going to be caught dead in the yellow monstrosity that is what you call a uniform. Any questions that don't sound so pathetic?" I mocked her, openly.
"Are you going to visit the Host Club this afternoon?" Suoh-san asked.
"I will be, yes. There are a few things that I'd like to discuss with Ootori-san before you open as I have to go to another place directly at three o'clock." I smiled softly.
"That will be all, take your seat beside Ootori." The teacher interrupted before another question could be fired off. The rest of class passes along slowly, my anger seething when a paper airplane hit my head. I threw it back to the owner without looking, hearing the hiss of pain when the person got a papercut.
,..,
I stood when the bell rang for lunch, Umehito grabbing my arm and dragging me to the shadow, where my eyes glowed with my barely controlled anger. I wanted to punch something, but there was nothing to punch that could hold to my anger. I sighed and wrapped the shadows tighter around me. "It's going to be a long day…"
"It will be over soon enough, Rose-san. I will be sure to escort you home, if you wish." Umehito-kun gave me a slight smile, but he knew I wasn't going back to the Manor of the Moon until the day before the trip to one of the Ootori's resorts.
"I'm content on my own, Ume-kun." I smiled and patted his head.
"Ume-kun?" Umehito asked, amusement sparkling in the depths of his eyes.
,..,
I pulled up to the garage of the manor and yawned, happy to get back into the place I've called home for centuries. "Rina~ where are you?"
"I'm over here, Sis!" I heard her call from the next room.
"Hey... Guess what?" I asked, glomping her side when I entered.
"What…." Rina said in a rather less than enthusiastic tone.
"I have been invited to the Tropical Aqua Garden by the Ootori family!" I giggle.
"Oh," Rina still didn't seem to share my enthusiasm.
"It's not opened yet, and I think there will be twins~" I poked her cheek lightly with silver painted nails to cover the black.
"Please get to the point already, Sis." Rina huffed.
I smirked. "I got the Ootori to extend the invitation so that you can come with us."
"Oh, is that so," Rina still wasn't that impressed. "I really hope there is a point there somewhere."
I could only sigh. "I did it so that we could have fun together... That is the point of this..."
"Together with humans I'm not familiar with and males no less I'm assuming." Rina sighed.
"Haru-chan will be there…" I countered, but I didn't think she would agree still.
That got Rina's attention but she still less than enthusiastic about this whole affair.
"I guess you really don't want to go… It is a waste of a free trip without a single business call, and I get to relax with you." I shrugged and turned away. "I'll see you later then."
Rina pouted.
I opened the door. "It is in two days at 3:15pm sharp, if you want to come be at the south gates of Ouran." I closed the door, and got ready to leave.
"And where pray tell is that, Sis?" Rina asked still slightly annoyed at me for springing this on her at practically the last minute.
"Just track me down… I'll be letting out my aura all day, well just enough to let you find me." I smirked at her, a glint of playfulness.
"Fine then, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to... even though this whole affair is your idea in the first place!" Rina let out a very exasperated sigh.
"Remember Haru's place? Just head north and the South Gates will be there." I rolled my eyes.
"Thank you, now that wasn't too hard now was it?" I guess I deserve some of Rina's sassy attitude since she had a point I did wait until practically the last minute to tell her.
"Oh, and don't forget a swimsuit. I'm sure it might come in handy at some point." I had to dodge the hail of ice that Rina sent my way since it was obvious that she didn't like my last statement as I dashed out the room.
"PRIMROSE, GET BACK HERE!" Rina snarled.
"Not until you calm down!" I kept running from her, using my natural speed to stay away from her, leaving a wall of fire behind me.
"Well you have no one but yourself to blame for my foul mood dear sister." Rina snapped hurling more ice at me.
"AT LEAST IT IS TWO DAYS BEFORE THE DAMN DAY AND NOT 30 MINUTES PRIOR!" I screeched, sending fireballs to melt the ice, and to burn her.
"You know that doesn't make me feel any better, right!" Rina hissed throwing up a wall of ice that quickly turned in wall of water, upon hitting my fireballs, that threatened to wash me out of the house.
I sighed and went out a window. "Fine. Then I'll just tell them that they can leave without me, and I'll drive there." I jumped on my bike and left, not a single word after that.
After letting Rina calm down, I returned.
"I never said I wasn't going to go, but I would have appreciated more than one or two days of advance warning." Rina chided.
"I did… yet you're still mad at me…. At least it's not my usual 30 minute heads up that you get."
"Oh, you would be totally entombed in ice and snow or have become contorted and entwined in tree branches if you had done that!" Rina glared at me as a low growl rumbled in the back of her throat.
"Hence I didn't do that his time." I growled back to her.
Rina just smiled back at me.
"What is the your choice, coming or not?" I sat on my bike, wisps of flame dance around me.
"Maybe, I haven't decided quite yet."
"Just show up then. I'll be waiting for you if you do."
"Ok" Rina acknowledged.
"With that dear twin, I shall bid you adieu." I left, yawning, even though I didn't need sleep.
That was fun! Thanks for reading!
